In a small town, there lives two boys who always think it's Halloween. Their names are Skid and Pump. Skid dresses up in a skeleton costume, while Pump dresses up in a pumpkin costume. Skid has a mother named Lila, a purple haired single mother who's... a bit stressed out. Skid and Pump also regularly ask a worker at a candy shop named Kevin for some candy cans. Knowing how innocent the two are, he caves in every single time. But, Skid and Pump also have to deal with three bullies. They call themselves the Hatzgang. The leader is Roy, a kid with brown hair and a sweater that does the most damage to Skid and Pump. But at best, it's just harmless teasing. The other members are Ross, a black haired teenager who listens to rock 24/7 and Robert, a blonde haired guy who wouldn't hurt a fly. Ross and Robert don't bully Skid and Pump as much as they used to, mainly because they're starting to warm up to the two little children. Sometimes, Ross's mother, Jaune and Robert's older brother, Radford, come along on their adventures. Robert also has a younger sister named Samantha, but she stays at home most of the time. So does his older sister, Carmen. But, this universe isn't the only universe we'll cover...There's a bootleg Pokemon game out there called Pokemon: Coal Grey Edition. The main character is called Grey. He's an anxious mess of a sixteen year old boy who's face is 50% made out of shadow. Thankfully, his eyes are visible through the shadow. He's also getting tormented by this Hypno bootleg called Shinto. And remember, Shinto's a girl. Not a boy. There's also another Pokemon game called "Lost Silver", where a kid named Gold gets all of his limbs removed. His head can also rip off, but he can re-attach it at any point.There is also one more universe. The Golden Apple universe, which I'm pretty sure needs no introduction. The place is happy, with people like Dave, Bambi, Bandu, Bambom and Blogblez existing in peace. However, there's a dark side to this universe. And that is Expunged. He's a god who loves spreading chaos and agony around. He loves watching people suffer.And it seems like on one faithful day, he executes his plan and causes a whole lot of chaos.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Expunged was in his secret room. He was watching over some universes. The Pokepasta one, the Spooky Month one, even his own universe. He smiled as he was thinking on what to do today. He could just... kill everyone in the Spooky Month universe? No... that would be too simple. Overwrite everything? No, stupid! You'll end up killing yourself in the process! Think, Expunged! THINK!...Oh. He knows what to do. He was gonna collide the two worlds together, put in a virus and let all hell break loose. Then he can sit back and watch the world fall apart! A masterpiece plan! Nothing can go wrong with that! He just needs to do a few simple things and he can watch the world fall apart! What a wonderful, wonderful plan! To start off with his EVIL plan, Expunged picked up a potion. And a knife. And some blood. He mixed those stuff together and got... a virus. He knew what to do now. He would dump the virus into the Spooky Month world and then he would throw the bootleg Pokemon games into the Spooky Month universe! And that's exactly what he did, as he combined the virus with the Spooky Month universe.And now he gets to lay back and watch the world fell apart...-----------------------Today was just a casual day in Spooky Month, with Skid and Pump being themselves, Lila watching out for them, and this time, Radford and Carmen came along with Robert and Jaune came along with Ross. They wanted to make sure their children stay safe this year. Because this year... was pretty chaotic so far. Radford and Carmen are pretty over protective when it came to Robert. They didn't want ANYTHING terrible to happen to Robert. Even if it meant they would end up sacrificing themselves, they would protect him till the very end......Or so they thought.Because Expunged can drop some pretty harsh bombs when it comes to viruses like this. And would you know it, as soon as the virus hit, it created a hole in the ground. It was glowing red and black, very unusual. Skid, Pump, Lila, Roy, Ross, Jaune, Robert, Radford and Carmen all went to check on what the red glow was. The virus egg looked like an easter egg. "Hmmmmm... I wonder what this is." Roy wondered. "Uhhh, Roy?" Carmen said. "I don't think you should touch that thing." "And? Why not?" Roy asked, smug. "Well... something dangerous could be hiding in that egg. You never know." Carmen replied. "Ehhh, I don't really care." Roy said. "Well... alright then. Don't come crying to me when something bad happens to you." Carmen said. So, Roy touched the egg and that opened the egg. Out of the egg... revealed a black and red shadowy figure. Everyone was scared of it... except for Skid and Pump, obviously. "Woooaaahhh!!" Skid and Pump were both amazed. "That man is so cool!" Pump said, happy. "I agree!! Like, he looks like he could cut up someone if he wanted to!" Skid said, with stars in his eyes.The figure stared at the group. Radford just looked at Skid and Pump. How innocent they were... thinking this... thing... is just another weirdo in a Halloween costume. Suddenly, the figure revealed that it had powers. Electric powers. "Ohh man!! This guy just keeps getting spookier and SPOOKIER!!" Pump said, bouncing up and down. "I know, right?! I'm starting to wonder if this guy's powers are real or not!!" Skid replied, just as happy as Pump. Then... the figure used its powers. Everyone ducked, except for Roy, who got his left leg slashed, and tried to run away, but... sadly... the figure snapped it's fingers and that made everyone pass out. The figure smiled and giggled, as the screen faded to black...
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Silence.Sometimes, silence can be relaxing. Other times... it can be very, very suspicious.This is what Skid, Pump, Lila and Radford thought when they all silently woke up. "...That spooky monster was amazing!" Skid chimed, happy. "I know... right?" Pump agreed, tired. Lila was just glad Skid and Pump were okay. Radford on the other hand... "...G-Guys?" He asked. "...Where's Robert?" Skid and Pump looked confused. "Hmmm... I think he's over there." Skid replied, pointing at an area. Radford looked over the area Skid pointed at and... dear god. He was greeted to the sight of Robert and Ross. And Roy as well. ...Well... 'greeted' was an exaggeration.Blood was seeping from under Ross's beanie, covering his left eye with blood. His arm was a bit mangled and his mouth has blood pouring out of it. Robert wasn't any better. His stomach was cut open a bit and he lost his left eye! Roy was okay, but he was stunned. Seeing his friends like this... you can tell who was more stunned, though. "...Ro... Ro..." Radford stuttered. Finally, he got it out. "...ROBERT!!!" Radford screeched, as he ran to his injured and unconscious little brother. "Robert, oh my god!! Speak to me, Rob!! Say something!! ANYTHING!!!" Radford pleaded, crying hysterically. Robert weakly opened his good eye as he looked at his brother. "...Rad... Rad... Rad...ford...?" Robert said, weakly. Radford couldn't stop crying. "...H-Hey... don't... cry..." Robert tried comforting him. But it was useless.Jaune couldn't do anything when she saw Ross. She was stunned. This... this had to be a nightmare, right? At any moment, she would wake up from her bed and be relieved when it's just one big nightmare. Yeah. It just has to be a nightmare. It just HAS to-"WAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!"A scream interrupted Jaune's thoughts. And Robert and Radford's moment. There, a boy with black hair, a red hat with a white circle and some greyish-blue clothes and white shoes, a bootleg Hypno and a limbless dead child all managed to fall safely onto some pillows. "Awwwhhh.. oh god..." The boy muttered. Half of his entire face was covered in shadow. "Hello, g-good sir!" Skid was unnerved by the constant sadness. But he still had that happy and cheery attitude. So did Pump. "Who could y-you be?" Pump asked the boy. "... G-Grey..." Grey answered. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Grey!" Skid said, happily. Grey's social anxiety was acting up. He never met all of these people before... plus, what's happening?? What happened to that beanie kid over there???Grey walked over to Ross, who was struggling to open his eyes. Sleepiness and grogginess was taking over him, as he grunted and groaned. "Uhh... dude... a-are you okay...?" Grey asked Ross, terrified. "..." Ross didn't say anything. Grey picked him up and put him close to Jaune. Ross managed to open his eyes. "...Mfff..." Ross groaned. "Hey..." Grey greeted Ross. "...W-Wha...? Who...?" Ross weakly asked Grey. "I'm Grey... you?" Grey answered. "...I'm... R-Ross..." Ross answered. "Oh lord... it's... nice... to meet you, Ross..." Grey's social anxiety wasn't getting better. "Do you... um, need some help?" He said. "...Maybe... or yes... I-I need help..." Ross muttered.And that was gonna be Grey's next mission.
