The Key Trilogy: Halloween
IronSabbathPriest Our story begins at Michael's house:Kai: Have you got the tricks?
Markus: Have you got the treats?
Daniel: Have you got the pumpkins?
Michael: Yes already!
Kai: Alright, we're all set for trick or treating!
Michael: Aren't we getting to old for trick or treating? I'm 19 years old. And you lot are like, 26.
Kai: (frowns) 25 actually!
Michael: Whatever.
Daniel: Guys, come on!
----------------------------------------------
As the foursome walk down the road, they notice some strange things. There are people, hooded, cloaked people, walking around everywhere. Almost as if they're surrounding them...
Markus: Let's stop at this house.
They knock on said house's door. An old woman in a dressing gown opens the door.
Michael/Kai/Markus/Daniel: Trick or Treat!
Woman: You woke me up you bastards!
Michael: See? I told you guys!
Woman: But I'm gonna give you sweets anyway, to make you feel bad.
The woman gives them all an over exaggerated amount of sweets.
Kai: Umm... let's go then guys.
As they continue walking down the road, they still see many hooded figures stalking them. Were they stalkers? Or were they just the college bullies ready to mug them? No... they were something much worse.
They stop off at a few more houses, and get significantly less candy as opposed to the previous house. Eventually, Michael decides to say what no one else dares to say.
Michael: Who are those guys following us?
Markus: (frowns) what guys?
Michael: The hooded figures who've been following us ever since we left my house.
Daniel: Are you okay?
Michael: Yes! But can't you see them?!
Kai: Dude, you need to calm down. Here, I can't be bothered to go and knock on that house over there. Do us a favour and knock on the door of that lonely house over there.
Michael: (grumbles) fine.
The other's use this as a chance to ditch him.
Michael slowly approaches the house. There was a chill in the air. Maybe he shouldn't do this... he turned around and saw the hooded figures approaching him in a ring, blocking any exit. There was no escape. Unless...
He ran towards the door and pounded on it violently.
Michael: Trick or treat! Trick or treat!
He hears footsteps approaching the other side of the door, from inside the house. Michael hears the door unlock, he wastes no time in opening the door...
... and he screams. On Halloween.
----------------------------------------------
Darkness. Michael couldn't see a thing. Where was he? What had happened? He didn't remember anything.
The hooded men!
He was suddenly up on his feet, aware of every sound. Even though there was none, and nothing to be heard.
Suddenly, a star appeared in the sky, or whatever was above him. Was it a star? Was he in heaven? Or was it hell? The star was getting bigger, shining on him. Wait... it wasn't a star, it was a light. A spotlight. Shining down on him. Suddenly, Michael heard a voice whispering to him:
Voice: You are the chosen one. The fate of the world is in your hands. Make your choice, will you save the world, or destroy it? If you wish to save the world, then jump. Jump now. Jump into the light.
Michael: But what has happened? Where am I?
Voice: (hissing) all will be revealed if you jump into the light! Now make your choice!
Michael: (gulps) well, I guess there's only one thing for it...
He jumps into the light.
