(ONCE THE GROUP WAS INSIDE, THEY DECIDED TO SPLIT UP AND COVER MORE GROUND. SAKI WENT WITH NORMITA, CALVIN WITH DENEES, AND BIRUYAN WITH VIPONA)
(SAKI AND NORMITA GO INTO THE MAIN TENT AT THE CIRCUS)
NORMITA:
-I DON'T LIKE THIS PLACE, IT GIVES ME THE CHILLS-
SAKI (IN A PROUD TONE AND BLUSHING):
-DON'T WORRY NORMITA, I WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ANYTHING THAT COMES OUR WAY!-
NORMITA (SMILING):
-THANKS SAKI, BUT I THINK I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF-
SAKI (IN EMBARRASSMENT):
-OF COURSE YOU CAN-
(NORMITA WALKS CLOSER TO THE TENT WALLS AND NOTICES WORDS AND DRAWINGS ON THEM)
NORMITA:
-HEY SAKI COME HERE, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS... THE WALLS ARE WRITTEN IN A WIERD LANGUAGE-
SAKI:
-WOAH, THATS PRETTY COOL-
NORMITA:
-NO SAKI, NOT COOL. THESE WORDS WERE WRITTEN RECENTLY, THE INK IS STILL WET-
(SAKI AND NORMITA BOTH LOOK AT EACH OTHER WITH CONCERNED FACES. THEY MAKES THEIR WAY TO THE CENTER OF THE CIRCUS TENT; HOWEVER, WHAT THEY FIND IS RATHER GRUESOME. IN THE MIDDLE, HANGING FROM THE CEILING, ARE SAKI AND NORMITA'S BODIES)
SAKI (WORRIED):
-IS...IS THAT ME!?-
(THE HANGING BODIES THEN LIFT UP THEIR HEADS, WITH A GRINNING SMILE FROM CHEEK TO CHEEK)
NORMITA:
-SAKI! WE HAVE TO GER OUT OF HERE!-
(SAKI AND NORMITA BOTH RUN BACK TO THE EXIT, BUT THE EXIT IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN)
SAKI;
-THE EXIT! ITS GONE!-
(THE HANGING BODIES THEN FALL FROM THE CEILING AND LAND STANDING UP. THEY BOTH LIFT UP THEIR HEADS STILL WITH THE WIDE GRIN ON THEIR FACES)
(MEANWHILE, DENEES AND CALVIN GO INTO THE HAUNTED HOUSE ATTRACTION TO EXPLORE. THEY MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE ENTRANCE WHERE THEY ARE GREETED BY A LONG HALLWAY)
DENEES;
-HEY CALVIN, DO YOU REALLY THINK WE WILL FIND ANYTHING?-
CALVIN:
-IVE ALREADY FOUND SOMETHING... DISAPPOINTMENT! WE SHOULD'NT BE WASTING TIME-
DENEES:
-HEY CALVIN, CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?-
CALVIN:
-WHAT IS IT?-
DENEES:
-I CAN TELL THAT YOU'RE VERY TALENTED WITH YOUR GAUGE CONTROL AND YOU'RE VERY SMART TOO-
CALVIN:
-YEAH, SO WHAT'S THE QUESTION?-
DENEES:
-I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO ASK IS, WHY DO YOU LET YOURSELF FALL BACK JUST BY TRYING TO PLEASE SAKI? YOU FAILED THE SEMESTER BECAUSE OF SAKI, AND YOU WOULD'NT HAVE CAME HERE EITHER IF HE DIDN'T. SO WHY DO YOU DO IT?-
CALVIN:
-WELL, TO PUT IT IN SHORT WORDS, SAKI DOES'NT HAVE ANYONE TO LOOK OUT AFTER HIM, AND NEITHER DO I. I GUESS WE DEPEND ON EACH OTHER TO GO THROUGH THIS CRUEL WORLD TOGETHER. I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO GET BETRAYED AND I WOULD'NT WANT SAKI TO FEEL THE SAME WAY-
(DENEES LOOKS AT CALVIN SURPRISED)
DENEES:
-OH...ALRIGHT-
(THEY BOTH MAKE THEIR WAY INTO A ROOM. IN THAT ROOM THEY FIND A LARGE PORTRAIT OF BILLY THE CLOWN)
DENEES:
-LOOK, IT'S THAT GUY WE'RE LOOKING FOR!-
CALVIN:
-YEAH, BUT LOOK AT THIS PAINTING HERE-
(CALVIN POINTS TO A PAINTING THAT HAS BOTH HIM AND DENEES PAINTED ON IT)
DENEES (SHOCKED):
-WHAT...WHY?!-
CALVIN (THINKING TO HIMSELF):
-I'VE READ ABOUT THIS BEFORE, IT'S SOME SORT OF ILLUSION!-
DENEES (SHOUTING):
-CALVIN LOOK!-
(AS DENEES POINTS TOWARDS THE PICTURE, THE COPIES IN THE PAINTINGS BEGIN TO CRAWL OUT OF THE PICTURE)
CALVIN (THINKING TO HIMSELF):
-JUST AS I SUSPECTED...-
DENEES:
-CALVIN! THE EXIT IS GONE!-
CALVIN:
-YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE NOT GETTING OUT OF HERE WITHOUT A FIGHT! DENEES GET READY! TAKE ON YOURSELF, AND LEAVE ME TO ME!-
(BIRUYAN AND VIPONA MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH ALL THE KIOSKS IN HOPES OF FINDING SOME SORT OF CLUE)
VIPONA:
-SO... WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE STUDENTS?-
BIRUYAN:
-TO BE HONEST, I DON'T THINK ANY OF THEM CAN SURVIVE IN A FIGHT AGAINST AN ENEMY-
VIPONA:
-WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?-
BIRUYAN:
-BECAUSE, NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY REAL TRAINING IN HEAD TO HEAD COMBAT. ALL THEY KNOW IS HOW TO PICK UP A PENCIL AND WRITE DOWN ANSWERS-
VIPONA:
-WHAT ABOUT THE LITTLE GUY?-
BIRUYAN:
-THE SQUIRM? THAT GUY CAN'T REACH THE TOP OF A SHELF YOU EXPECT HIM TO FIGHT OFF OPPONENTS TALLER THAN HIM?-
VIPONA:
-I FELT SOMETHING IN THAT GROUP-
BIRUYAN:
-WHAT WAS IT?-
VIPONA:
-ONE OF THEM IS POWERFUL ENOUGB TO CARRY THE SPIRIT OF A GOD-
BIRUYAN:
-SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT ONE OF THEM CAN POTENTIALLY BE STRONGER THAN ME? PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! COME ON VIPONA I KNOW YOUR INSTINCTS SAY ONE THING BUT YOUR BRAIN HAS TO SAY ANOTHER!-
(BIRUYAN BURSTS OUT IN LAUGHTER)
VIPONA:
-I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S SO FUNNY-
(BIRUYAN STOPS LAUGHING AND LOOKS AT HER)
BIRUYAN:
-OH... YOU WERE BEING SERIOUS...-
VIPONA:
-YES-
(ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SKY STARTED TO TURN RED AND EVERYTHING ELSE WENT BLACK. THE KIOSKS TURNED BLACK, AND THE TREES TOO)
BIRUYAN (SURPRISED):
-WHAT... WHAT'S GOING ON!-
VIPONA:
-HE'S HERE-
(FROM WITHIN THE FOREST, LAUGHING COULD BE HEARD)
THE MYSTERIOUS PERSON LAUGHING:
-YOU'VE GOT A SMART GIRLFRIEND THERE BIRUYAN!-
BIRUYAN (ANNOYED):
-HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME! SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!-
(THEN FROM THE TREES EMERGED A CLOWN. BILLY THE CLOWN. HE HAD HIS FULL COSTUME ON AND LONG GREEN HAIR)
BILLY:
-THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING ME THE SUN GOD... I GOTTA SAY, I HAVE MET IDIOTS OVER THE COURSE OF MY EXISTENCE, BUT NONE OF THOSE DARED TO GO INTO MY HOME!-
VIPONA:
-BIRUYAN! THIS IS OUR CHANCE! THERE'S NO POINT IN RUNNING SO ONE OF US IS DYING HERE!-
BILLY:
-SHE'S RIGHT, YOU TWO ARE DYING HERE TODAY!-
BIRUYAN:
-OH YEAH?! I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY AND PUT A FINGER ON ME!-
BILLY:
-I WOULDN'T TALK LIKE THAT IF I WERE YOU... YOU BOTH ARE IN MY BIRIWARUDO! YOUR POWERE ARE USELESS HERE! YOUR GAUGE WON'T SAVE YOU! SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE?!-
(VIPONA AND BIRUYAN GET READY TO FACE OF BILLY)!
