It was late at night, when Tifa felt someone tug at her leg.
"Ohh, Denzel, sweetie, what's wrong?" She groggily asked before remembering where she was.
"I… I had a nightmare."
It was Nyu. The young Diclonius Queen who had been through too much for a young child.
"Wha- *YAWN* What was it sweetheart?" Yang asked, having woken up after Tifa had stopped cuddling her.
"It was Wiz and Boomstick. They scare me." The girl said.
"Sweetheart, they're just doing their jobs. Just because they pit us against one another, doesn't mean-"
"No. They scare me now." Nyu said, "They used to look nice and goofy, and now they look scary."
"I can relate to that." Yang muttered, "Rather make out with an Tarkatan than see Boomstick's smile anytime soon."
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Nyu asked.
"Sure honey." Tifa and Yang scooted a bit to make room for Nyu, who cuddled up in Yang's embrace.
"Don't worry, sweetie. If they come here, we'll beat them up so you don't have to worry about them again." Tifa said.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Okay. Good night, mamas."
"Good night, Nyu."
"I've seen demons that are less terrifying than that face." Guts shuddered.
Day two after Wiz and Boomstick had shown off their new look, and the reaction was… Overwhelmingly negative.
"Guts finally found something scary. These are the end times." Matt said.
"You're lucky. You don't have to see them." Guts said.
"And that's a benefit to me." Matt snarked, "It's a shame that the rest of you guys have to use your eyesight to get around, otherwise, you wouldn't be scarred like that."
"Ugh, if Mewtwo wasn't already so against getting into my head, I'd ask them for a mindwipe."
"Not like you can." Red said as he sat down as well, "The 'Mon's been in a cave somewhere with some tech. Something about wanting to 'go back to the doomed timeline' than see those faces again."
"Hey guys?" Yang's voice came in through the doorway and...Most of the younger characters were hugging her and Tifa as if their lives depended on it, "A little help?"
"This is what you get for being a 'mom' character." Matt said simply.
"I can take some of them off your hands." Guts offered.
"Hey, uncle Guts is offering protection. Why don't some of you go to him?" Tifa offered.
Miraculously, some of them did. With Guts having a surprisingly friendly, if a bit sarcastic smile, "I don't recall taking up the 'uncle' role."
"Can I ask what's so wrong about their faces anyway?" Matt asked.
"They're just so… Disturbing." Tifa shuddered.
"The jump scares in FnaF have competition now as the most horrifying thing to see around." Red added.
"I'd rather fight Carnage in a dark and closed off room without aura than see those faces." Yang grimaced.
"I can't believe it! These yahoos have stolen my trademark smile!" Joker complained, "I'm the only one allowed to make people horrified with a grin!"
"Joker… The fact that they pulled it off without even trying is proof enough that they deserve that ability more than you." Lex said, trying to comfort the clown.
"There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home."
"What's with old Cletus?"
"That smile Boomstick has apparently scared him."
"I would rather fight Ace than have to see that THING smile again!" Carnage said, pointing to the image of Boomstick grinning.
"You can say that again. I miss the days when people would use my face for their Halloween costumes. Now they're going to use his." Joker complained.
Dude: Think the point about the new Wiz and Boomstick designs being scary was given, or should we… Deadpool? Pinkie?
Pinkie: KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Wade: SEND IT INTO A BLACK HOLE!
Alexis: TWEET TWEET TWEET!
Wade: GOOD IDEA! THAT'S WAY BETTER THAN WHAT WE CAME UP WITH!
Pinkie: WHY ARE WE STILL YELLING?
Wade: BECAUSE THAT FACE IS STILL HERE!
Pinkie: GOOD POINT! I WAS UNDERREACTING!
Dude: Somehow, this is still not as loud as my mother on basketball night.
