Episode I: The Nightmare Begins Again
The sound of crickets chirping in the night, lush growth of the forest beneath the open starry night sky; birds nesting within their trees, squirrels nestled together within various holes in the tree that have become their beds, deer slowly walking about the area. A cool breeze with the Summer’s temp backing it and… the smell of smoke?
Journeying deeper within, the glow of a camp fire and a group of teens surrounding, three deep ocean blue tents set up nearby with a cooler full of Mtn Dew and various snacks; all with roasting sticks and marshmallows on the ends cheering in celebration.
Slumping back holding a can of Coca Cola, one teen in turn gave an immediate loud cheer of celebration, “Guys, guys, just want to say, this has been one of the best Summers of my life.”
“Haha, I agree Oliver, it’s been just a blast.”
More and more cheers lighting up the sky, to the far corner of the campsite, one of the teens nudged another, her eyes shining with humor as she nods towards the nearby mountain, then back to the other. With a chuckle and the crunch of the forest floor moving away from the campsite, they began off.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWZeG0cL41

“Jarrod, I just wanted to say, I’ve genuinely enjoyed what we’ve done this Summer; it’s not every year you get to just travel the country.”880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb18hpfpm3
“So true… so Serrina, what are we doing?”
“I wanted to camp here because there are these old ruins nearby and I just HAD to see them. I hope that’s alright with you-”
“Oh, heh heh, uh… sure, I guess?”
“Ha, thanks, you’re the best.”
Jarrod would smirk with periodic glances round, looking upon the owls watching them, the birds nesting and most likely asleep, a few squirrels rushing round through the branches and of course, the occasional deer here and there, truly peaceful with the chirping of crickets all around them. Their steps would crunch on the floor, ahead voles rushing off to hide, a few wild cats on the prowl on the sides though nothing big.
Eight minutes later as the wild life began to thin out, they came upon the mountainside at last, a large rocky terrain with a large hole in the mountain side, a cave. With a nod forward, both began to step forward, their feet echoing on the rock. Both bringing their phones up nodded to one another, flash lights flipped on as they entered, scoping around, a few twists and turns inside.
“Wow… this place is smooth!”
“This cave must have been formed by water, somehow...”
Journeying inside, they near immediately came upon some old boards in the path of the rest of the cave, “What the?”
“Who would board up a cave?”
With a smirk and a kick forward, Jarrod smashed clean through three boards which immediately dropped, giving them a way inside and in doing so, in they went.
“Wowzers,” both gasped once inside for in was a giant room with many artifacts from pottery to carvings in the wall. The room, maybe sixty meters by another sixty and yet another sixty, on stone pedestals multiple individual artifacts though in the middle of the room, a large one with a massive talisman sitting atop with multiple carvings, painted red.
“Check that thing out Serrina!”
“Wow! Jarrod, you just HAVE to take my picture with it!”
“Are you sure? What if this place is just sealed off for a reason? We could get in trouble-”
“You kicked the wood down already so it’s a bit late for that. Just come on,” she would chuckle running forward, stopping to turn round with her back to it, “Come on, just one picture can’t hurt!”
“… oh alright…” he murmured, phone up with the camera app up, “Say cheese,” as the flash went off.
With a smile, the photo was taken, three of them with three flashes. With a smirk and the sound of echoing footsteps, she stood now beside Jarrod, “How’d they turn out!?”
“Heh, they look great.”
“Awww, thanks Jarrod. We should go tell the others.”
“Right!”
Right as they turned to leave, a red glow slowly began to illuminate the room as the sound of demonic groaning was heard. As they slowly began to turn, that groaning turned to demonic laughter, a bright flash of red traveling forward with glowing eyes, the red turning to fire as both broke into screams, swallowed up.
Traveling back to the partying teens, the laughter continued as in seconds rushing through the trees, it also eclipsed the campsite, all screaming as they were drowned in the flash.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5svlvp24tZ
Eyes opening wide in shock, shivering, a female rolled off of a sofa groaning, multiple others in white uniforms rushing up immediately, “Mistress Victoria!”880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdEK8vyjcl
“Lord Victoria!”
“Are you alright!?”
“What happened!?!?!?!?”
Slowly, slowly stepping up, shivering, she croaked, “The seal… it’s been disturbed-”880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8JcQzUydl
Eight Weeks Later…880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerzW7tJAYR
The town of Santa Locke, small town on the coast of California. A population of only a few thousand with plenty of lush trees and scenery, even a beach… though the focus now would in turn move inward to a decent sized brick building, one with a buzzing bell with students moving about… yet at that time, a football flying through the air between two poles, hitting off the side of the building, and flipping around on the ground.880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dHa7HJRV0
“Yeah! Nice shot Derrick!”
Standing in red shorts & shirt with a white striped pattern, a five foot ten male with brown hair curling around ever so long yet not too thick. Standing there, fist pumping, shouting, “Yeah!! We’re going to crush it next week at Santa Casandrea.”
“Oh heck yeah!! Let’s set up for another kick, eh?”
“Yeah, I suppose we’ve got time but… where’s Monte, he’s supposed to be helping out you know?”880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8yRhIUz82
A locker slamming with a boy slammed inside, locker shut, laughter heard as another young teen backs away laughing. Tall, about six foot, wearing leather and shredded jeans, and slicked back black hair, purposefully looking to be the old time jock, laughing still, “Nerds!! Keep to your books and leave the sports to the pros.”880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlzvfhA3r4
“Excuse ME Mr. Monte,” came yet another voice however as a teacher walked up right behind, arms crossed, giving a bit of a scowl, “That’s detention for a week.”
“OH but uh… I mean… it was self defense sir.”
“Against someone half your size? Right… why don’t you do something useful with your time and study instead of picking on your classmates.”
“Ha, I don’t need an education to rock this world man, just saying.”
“Well with that attitude, you can rock detention tonight in the library.”
“Haha, loser,” came the voice of a female, one dressed up in expensive looking clothes, chuckling as she smacked on some gum.
The teacher, turning round, began to also speak again, “And Ms. Amber, I’m afraid that’s a detention for you as well.”
In seconds, another teacher walked forward with Derrick right in front, “Speaking of detention, sign Mr. Derrick up as well for kicking the football into my coffee mug,” he mumbled, coffee dripping from his pants, shirt, and face, eyes blinking a bit.
“I said I was sorry, it was a bad kick.”
“Well, we’ll be sure to leave it off your record then so long as you learn to be more careful.”
“Ah, perfect, another to join in,” the first teacher muttered as the bell went off, “Come on now, into the Library with you three.”
Opening the door to the nearby library and stepping inside, it would be empty except for a student asleep at the desk with a detention slip in front of him and two at the opposite end working on homework with books open, chatting to each other in whispers.
“Uh… Ms. Sam, Mr. Stark… do uh… do you two have detention?”
The girl looked up speaking as the boy turned round, “No sir, Mr. Samson said we could study in here after school.”
“Ah… right but uh… did he mention detention would take place here today?”
“Yes but he said if we didn’t mind we could stay.”
“… ah… alright. Well, if you’re fine and he gave permission then so be it.”
“Ha, nerds,” came the chuckle of Monte.
“More like, geeks in love, hel-looooooooooo.”
“Amber, Monte, you should take example from them. Ms. Sam is on the top of the honor’s list with Mr. Stark right behind… and just for that, double detention to both you and Ms. Amber, alright Mr. Monte?”
“Pft…. Whatever.”
“I’ll be back in an hour so… best of luck.”
The three walked in, sitting down around the sleeping student, groaning.
“Son of a pickle jar man, that kick was stupid. I should’ve aimed higher!”
“Pft… what, you miskicked? Coach needs to pick me then to start off for the next game.”
“Shut up Monte, we all make mistakes.”
“Like, speak for yourself.”
“Hey, guys, can you tone it down a bit, some of us are trying to sleep,” came the grumble of the sleeping student.
“And some of us are trying to study,” came the next voice of Sam.
“Nerds, haha.”
“More like geeks in love.”
“Stark and I are just friends.”
“Uh… right so Sam, about problem thirty-nine, I think the solution might be… this right here.”880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hvvwRiSkz
“RAAAAAAAAA, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6JjuM3IiS
“Oh my oh my, Lord Zaraka, the place hasn’t changed a bit.”
“HA HA HA HA HA, my thanks to the humans that reactivated the bridge and broke the seal… however it seems that not all of my power has come with me.”
“Why yes sir, we are pretty drained.”
“Send out the Imps to stir up some fear. With enough fear we’ll soon grow strong enough again to tear the seal apart entirely. COME, Imp KING!!!”
A flash before a scrawny, bald, fat man and a bulky tall man, a small green man of only two feet in length floating in the air before both of them, “You rang my lord?”
“Send out your Imps to the nearby cities and stir up some fear. Once you’ve terrified the populace we’ll have enough power to rip the portal open and send more of our forces to reinforce you. So very soon we’ll have this meatball world by our finger tips!”
