Before you give Part Two a read, make your you've read Part One (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=94596-LBPC-Haunt-II-(Part-One)-A-Botched-Seance-Commence), To have an idea what's going on before you go read on. And I do apologize! I'll pump these out as fast as I can, And hopefully get them out by Halloween... at least, that's the plan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forward we roll on, into the night, Where our last daring duo has just ran off in fright, Deep into the woods, while their possessed friend Storms into the town, perhaps to meet her own end… Meanwhile, off in a castle somewhere, Deep in the Forum Fames wilderness, where no one would dare, An experiment with consequences we cannot foresee Goes on… at the hands of our next three. (Robo4900) “This doesn’t seem that ethical…” (CuriousSack) “What they don’t know won’t hurt them.” (butter-kicker) “Well then, I hope this doesn’t hurt me…” With Halloween on the back-burner this year, Our trio has donned typical science gear: White lab coats, goggles, gloves, specs, And various instruments worn up to their necks. Although their similarity was rather foreseen, So Robo’s gloves are blue, Curious’ orange, and butter’s green. Around their lab laid many old spoils, From beakers and flasks to large Tesla coils, And in the middle of the room, on a table of steel, Laid something… big… almost unreal… “Exactly how many graves did you dig up?” “Heh, wouldn’t you like to know-“ “One hundred twenty-seven.” “Are you serious- “ “Like you said, though! We’re ‘borrowing’. And again, what they don’t know won’t hurt them.” “Speaking of which… what’re we doing again? Sorta forgot after grave eighty-one.” “Sigh, let me explain…” As you all know, LBPC was once the biggest around, Where LittleBig-everything and Tearaway could be found. But as time soldiers on, and members fade away, We move further away from our illustrious hey-day. But what if we were to start anew, perhaps in a thread, Where members from the past came back from the inactive dead? Old and familiar faces as far as the eye can see, And perhaps we may return to our former glory! But yet, once again, reanimating the lost Is not all that legal… and comes with a high cost. Bodies up for grabs are hard to come by; Most people choose to be “buried” when they die. And yet, luckily, thanks to my German literacy, I’ve got access to certain “things”… including this key. Pulling it out of his coat, the key was large and rusted, Passed down for years to only those the admin trusted. With a skull for the bow and sharp teeth for the bit, There was only one hole in which that key would fit. “And where does that key go?” “I’ll tell you:” Into an abandoned graveyard, far out in forgotten land, Where the truly dead dwell, both the inactive and the banned. From there I pooled my sources- various body parts, of course, And assembled them together to form this fresh, new corpse. A little bit of a walrus, some bunny ears and hail, Parts of members, donors, staff- and even a little whaaaaale, Two scoops of tophat, a pinch of penguin, a dash of kung-fu cat, Some code, a node, a moon and a goon- all of this and that To form our test subject, for which I’m compelled to strive To exact millions of XP into him, and make him come alive. “Sounds complicated.” “Indeed. Speaking of complications, Robo, can you go get some AA batteries from the store? I forgot them before I left.” “Erm… how? We’re walled off in an ancient castle surrounded by landmines and an electric fence. Also, why do we need batteries?” “They’re essential to the device. Besides, we’re just ‘borrowing’ them for a moment.” “Isn’t that technically ‘stealing’?” “Ah. In that case-“ Curious pulled out a remote with a button that had a red glow, Promptly pressing it and activating a piston from below That shot up from under Robo and sent him sky high, Rocketing up and away from the others, before they could say- “Buh-bye.” “He’ll be back. Now come. I sense that dinner is burning on the center reactor below.” “Lemme get the lead suit…” Robo soared through the air, far above the castle’s presence, Clearing the surrounding minefield and over the electric fence, Still onward he soared, over the vast Forum Games, And flew straight into town, with its various streets and lanes. “A little warning next time maybe?!” He’s the mad doctor, not me. “Huh? Who said that?” Ah, you’re a new to this. Well then- Robo crashed into a pile of freshly raked leaves, Getting the rotted material everywhere, including up his sleeves. Robo climbed out of the pile, brushing the leaves away, As he spotted the store, which was just along- “You gonna do this all day? I’m a busy man, you know.” … A rock flew in, and from what I can tell, Hit Robo in the head and made him yell- “Ow! You jerk.” My pleasure. CONTINUING… Robo crossed the street and headed down the block And arrived at a convenience store… under key and lock. “’Closed cuz I can.’ Figures.” Tucking his hands into his coat, Robo felt something cold, And upon taking it out, finds Curious’ key of old. “Now how did you get there...” Curious to see what happens, Robo looked at the lock And pointed the key at it, which shot out an intense shock That traveled up Robo’s arm and into the shop door, And while Robo was briefly paralyzed, the lock was no more. “Oh come on, Jack...” Again, he’s the mad doctor, not me. "Well, so much for it working on just graveyards..." Getting back on his feet, Robo opened the door, Entering what seemed to be a long-abandoned store. Dust gathered on the shelves and cobwebs lined every corner, And while most stores are staffed and stocked, this one lacked the former. “Geez, it’s like this place was suddenly abandoned…” Taking out a flashlight, Robo scanned the shelves and floor, Eventually finding the batteries near the register. “Score.” Upon approaching the display, a chill went through the air, Causing Robo to freeze for a moment, the chill standing up his hair. He flashed his light around, but alas, nothing to see. “Is there something you’re not telling me?” It’s only you and me. “Why do I even bother.” A faint glow appeared beyond the window, catching Robo’s attention, Causing him to wipe the dust away and look in that direction, Revealing an entire part of town bursting into flames, And hearing an eerie voice calling out some peoples’ names… (DiamondDiancie10?) “NEMO… FREEAIM… WHERE AAAARE YOOOUU…” “What in God’s name…” Something rang inside Robo’s coat, causing him to flinch, So he reaches in and pulls out a walkie-talkie. “I’ll be there in a pinch. Didn’t know you gave me the key.” “Ah! Then you got the batteries. Splendid!” “I think we got some bigger problems going on right now…” “Problems we can resolve later. Now then, if you can just-“ “I’m serious. Something BIG is going down in town right now, and I sense something went horribly wrong-“ “Ah, nevermind. You’re right next to it. Stand still.” “Are you even- wait, wha-” Before finishing his question, a large pipe erupted from inside The floor below Robo, and immediately took him for a ride. A strong vacuum sucked him in, and before he could react Was swiftly transported back to the castle, exactly where he was last at. “WARNINGS!! Warnings would be nice!” Emerging from a far-off door, Curious emerged with dinner in hand With butter-kicker right behind him. “Disappointing. Rather bland.” “Too much radiation?” “Too much salt. Eh, guess there’s always next time for irradiated tacos.” “Maybe for food, but I dunno about you…” “Curious! There’s something big, and I mean BIG, going down, and-“ “You still got the batteries on you, yes?” “Yeah, they’re right here, but LISTEN-“ “Perfect! Come along now, I have miracles to conduct.” With batteries in hand, Curious headed over to some machine, Leaving Robo a bit angered… “I REALLY don’t wanna be mean…” “Something up? You look flustered.” “When I was in that shop, I spotted parts of town engulfed in flames right outside the windows.” “Sounds like someone’s rocket cheetah went unchecked.” “Seriously, it was literally DRENCHED in fire, and I heard an eerie voice call out from it.” “Oooh, spooky. Tell me more.” “I’M NOT JOKING. It sounded like a girl, and it called out FreeAim and TenebrisNemo.” “You mean those two guys that tried egging the castle earlier?” “Oh. Guess you’re right about- THAT’S NOT THE POINT! Something horrible is happening!” “And participating in a Frankenstein rip-off isn’t ‘something horrible’?” “I- gah, I dunno?! I wasn’t even told anything! I was just invited and I showed up.” “Wait, you too?” “Get over here! And witness the true power of a moderator…” “We’ll talk later. It’s showtime.” “But… sigh, you guys…” Getting into position, Curious throws on a switch, Throwing on a Tesla coil, and causing the corpse to twitch. Spurred on by the action, butter-kicker turns on his side, Causing another coil to activate- “This is suicide!” “More! MORE POWER!!” Rolling his eyes, Robo switched on his part, Causing a telescoping lighting rod on the roof to start Ascending from its resting place and reach towards the sky, Pointing right at a thunderstorm, which seemed miles high. “Are you sure this will work?” “Wait for it…” Suddenly a massive lightning bolt struck the rod on the head, The electricity shooting down- not into the corpse, but instead Into an old computing machine, which revved at full throttle, Converting the energy into XP, a process rather doddle. Leaping out into copper wire connected to a plug in the arm, The XP rocketed into the corpse, raising it up… and raising alarm. “IT’S ALIVE! IT’S ALIIIVE!!” “Holy crap…” “Now what?!” “POWER DOWN!!” The trio immediately turned off their complex machinery, As they stared on at the abomination in all its undead glory. “It’s… beautiful.” “It’s ugly.” “… and it’s staring right at you, Curious.” “Huh?” Curious looks up at the monsters’ gangly face, Its eyes staring him down menacingly… thus freezing him in place. (Monster) “AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRDDDD…” “And it speaks.” “Erm… why does it speak?” “Uh oh.” The monster bellowed a mighty roar, shaking the castle walls, Reverberating around the room and shooting down the halls! With a mighty swipe, the monster knocks away the frightened crew, Then rips up the steel table, which, with a throw, flew Clean through a nearby wall, and with not much time to waste, The monster began its escape, running off posthaste. “Ok, NOW I’m legitimately scared!” “What did you do?!” “Nononono-“ Scrambling to their feet, the trio desperately try to chase After the large, rampaging corpse, but struggle to keep up the pace. Wall after wall, the abomination charged on through, And the more material it smashed, the more its anger grew… “Were there parts of Incredible Hulk you forgot to mention?!” “Why is it so strong?! His musculature should be non-existant!” “I dunno, that was a pretty big lightning bolt that he got pumped with!” Barging out of the castle, and storming through the field It barreled through the myriad of explosions; to none, did it yield. Coming upon the electric fence, it instinctively dropped its shoulder, And tore straight through the electrified barrier, like a large, rolling boulder. Stopping at the outermost castle wall, the trio stared on in fear, As the monster continued storming on, now in the clear. It disappeared into the wilderness, heading straight for town, Leaving our trio to contemplate on what exactly went down… “I-I don’t understand! This should be scientifically impossible!” “This is a LittleBigPlanet community, not reality. Lots of things can happen.” “The muscle mass! The bulk! The… sentience! But how?!” “At no point did you consider this happening?!” “HOW?! This isn’t Frankenstein, and that was just one bolt!” “Well, whatever THAT thing is, it’s alive and running, and heading straight for town.” “Speaking of which, weren’t you trying to say something about it?” “Oh yeah, about that…” Before Curious can interrupt, butter-kicker covers his mouth, As Robo begins to explain. “Ok, so two things have gone south. One, we have a part of town that’s engulfed in flames, possibly something horrific. And two, we got Franken-steroids on an unstoppable rampage also about to wreck havoc on town… again, which is in flames.” “A-and you heard something, right?” “Oh, yeah. It sounded like-“ “EMOC, SREHTORB! ESIRA!” A gigantic red beam shoots out of town, far off in the distance, Parting the thick clouds above with little-to-no resistance, Tinting the night sky with a shade of bloody red, Filling the surroundings in a dark haze and overwhelming dread… “L-like t-that.” “This night is just getting worse and worse…” “We need to move. NOW.” Running down the path that their monster just made, They leave their penetrated castle and head through the forest glade Into the Forum Games, where they disappear from sight. As to where they’re heading, well… stay tuned. ~Outlaw-Jack

“EMOC, SREHTORB! ESIRA!” I think the fake Latin thing from Harry Potter is still a thing. PS: I wish I could do that.
