I apologize for leaving you all like that but with this story being nearly just a fun loving, silly fanfic, I lost a lot of drive and ideas when that big writers block hit me. I plan to start back up a lot of my stories in the next few months and I'm closing a few off with a hiatus list at the bottom of this story. For now, this is going to be a two, possibly three part, Halloween special to kickstart my ideas for this and other stories.

We'll see some genuine fears from our esper, and of course it'll be resolved by our loving bald hero. We might even see a new couple forming during this little event! On that note, this special is canon in my story, think of this just as a new chapter and nothing more.

Hope everyone enjoys it and welcome back all! Let's put a fact about me here, for fun. I work full time at a distribution center as a supervisor near a major airport in the US which keeps me extremely busy and devoid of all energy most of the time. Now on with the show!

Halloween special Pt- 1

The wasteland before her spoke volumes of what transpired in the past few hours. A massive battle had scarred the earth, hurting her deeply, deeper than Tatsumaki could ever home to compete with. Massive creators, gashes, burns, missing chunks of rock and boulders easily the size of mountains strewn about. The city was nothing more than an afterthought. The burning world she floating above was nothing to be called a city but a barren field of death and destruction. As if the gods above heard her thoughts, a rumble was heard before something landed just ahead of her in a thunderous boom.

From the settling dust cloud walked a white caped man, his yellow suit torn nearly to shreds but his skin showed barely even a few scratches. After all, even she knew, he was the unofficial strongest hero. However, this was no hero who faced her. This wasn't Saitama that looked down on her like an ant. This wasn't her beloved boyfriend, the man who would cuddle with her on cold nights and kiss away her anger. This was a god of war. No, that did him no justice. This was death incarcerate.

He spoke nothing, not even as much as a whisper before his fist cocked back. Nor did she. She never moved, never attempted to budge an inch. Tears streamed down her face and her heart felt heavy just before she felt nothing. Only the cold black release of death before her world shifted once more.

The green haired esper shot up, breathing heavy as sweat poured off of her like a faucet. In that same instance, Saitama shot up with her and reached out to see what was wrong. As she turned her instinctual reaction was to fly backwards, not jump, or shuffle. One moment she was next to him and the next she was flush with the wall across the room. The hero stopped moving then when he knew it was a much bigger issue than he thought originally. The fear in her features made him pause before she slowly looked around and seemed to settle as she realized where she was. Her body slacked down and her eyes closed as she slumped over a little. In that moment, he was in front of her, kneeling.

"Are you ok? What happened?" She lifted her head and he nearly felt his heart break. She seemed so broken right then, so lost.

"I had a nightmare." He didn't pry anymore and embraced her. He let her calm down slowly, not speaking or moving until she broke the hug and stood to see the sun had begun to peak away from the curtains.

"It's getting late, should we start or do you need a few minutes?"

Tatsumaki shook her head and floating up to meet his gaze at eye level "It was just a little more…real….than anything I'd experienced before. I'll be ok." Her smile was sincere and she gave him a quick kiss before settling back down and walking to the closet.

"When will everyone be here?"

"Probably within the next hour or so" said the bald hero, tossing off his sleepwear and moving to the other side of the bed and looking for his get up.

"Just enough time then.

"For you, maybe."

He dodged a coat hanger swiftly "Wanna die, baldy?"

Fubuki looked at her get up, proud of her set up. She had worked a little by hand to get it perfect. As useful as her team was, she liked to do a few things on her own just so she didn't dull on her own. So, with everything set, she rang the doorbell. She heard a little scuffling before the door swung open and she immediately glared at one of the two in the doorway.

"What a surprise, dear sister" said Fubuki as she looked at Tatsumaki. Both had on the exact same costume. A flowing dress without slits on the side, pointy shoes, a pointy hat but Tatsumaki was floating around on a broom with both legs tossed to one side.

"Guess you need to change, hmm?" said Tatsumaki with a smirk that only made her sister growl.

"Hey hey, that's enough now! Just get in, it's fine if someone else if dressed the same" said Saitama, grabbing their attention and defusing the heated situation. The green haired esper huffed and shrugged, turning around and following her boyfriend in as the younger sister walked in and shut the door. She noticed only Genos was there and in a costume she hadn't expected. One of his hands was replaced with a hook and one leg from the knee down was a metal peg. He even sported an eyepatch and a toy parrot on his shoulder!

"Now that's an impressive costume" said the B-class and Genos bowed.

"Thank you, Fubuki-san. The doctor helped me set this up a few months prior and I was excited to try it out."

"Oh! Show her, show her!" shouted Saitama in an outfit akin to his hero suit. It was mainly blue, with some yellow and red accents. His cape was now yellow as well. If she remembered correctly that was from some popular shonen manga that recently got an anime adaptation in the past year or so. All Powerful, or something?

Her attention was taken back when Genos pointed his leg forward and the peg transformed into a massive energy canon right in the living room, making her eyes widen.

"Is everything just a way to get more power for you?!" shouted Fubuki and Genos nodded as if it was a normal thing. For him, she knew it was and just huffed in defeat. These people would be the death of her. On cue, King opened the door she left unlocked with Bang just behind him. As he entered the living room his blood ran cold and the room's atmosphere seemed to shift. Everyone immediately felt on edge. Bang tensed up and Fubuki scanned for a threat while Genos only narrowed his eyes. Tatsumaki felt her blood still and her heart skipped a few beats. Her boyfriend demeanor shifted drastically and he stood, eyeing King.

"Oi, why are you wearing that?" asked Saitama. The poor man, in his unfortunate luck that led him there, was face to face with death itself as he wore the same outfit Saitama had on.

"I….uh….it was…uh…..accident…" said King and his friends demeanor slacked in defeat before he just groaned out loud.

"I just wanted to the only one that wasn't copied!"

"Hey!" shouted Fubuki, taking offense. Saitama just sighed and left the issue alone, turning to his girlfriend to see her seemingly frozen with that same look she had earlier.

"Tatsumaki….you ok?" As her name was called she snapped out of her daze and glared at him before slapping his head.

"Don't do that, baldy!" then she rounded on Bang "You! Did you even try!?" The elderly man just shrugged, all he had on was a red clown nose and a red stripped white long sleeve.

"I'm old, what do you expect?"

"Effort!"

"Ok ok, easy. Let's leave him alone now" said Saitama, trying to calm her down and she just huffed once more.

"I guess I can't bully the crippled old man."

"The energetic youth these days, never respecting their elders" sighed Bang as he sat down and watched everyone converse before Genos spoke up.

"It's going to be dark in a few minutes so let's get going. The party's going to start soon."

"Who's place is it again?"

"Mumen rider said it was near where the biggest impact was left from the meteor. All heroes get to play the games for free for the Halloween special" said King, looking at the text he was sent.

"Then lets gooooooo! I want some festival food!" shouted the caped baldy as he moved to the door, Tatsumaki floating closely nearby on her broom.

"You better win me something!"

"Such a loud couple" said Fubuki and Genos sighed.

"You're telling me. I live with it" said the cyborg making her giggle a little at his misfortune.

"Ah, youth" said Bang as the ever silent sentinel King pulled the rear up, closing and locking the door behind him before catching up with the group.

Expect the second half of the Halloween special next week, hopefully on Halloween, lol! I thought for a long time, how to restart this and it came to me around August that Halloween would be a good time to post an update with a little fun. From here, you'll see little story and just purely AU for a bit. I will delve into canon, or mention it, but I want to really enjoy this without trashing the original story here. With Tatsumaki already with Saitama so much, it's going to change canon parts a bit, like the fighting tournament. I need time to plan that out but for now, just expect the usual fun antics I've been dishing out.

As I stated in another AN, a new computer is on the way and that'll kick my writing back up from this trashy, slow, barley working laptop. I'll update this at least once every month, or two, since this is less of a serious story and more of a easy going, silly fanfic of mine. Just know, I'm back and I don't plan to leave once my new pc hops in around mid to late November. See ya!

Announcement- Due to a few people PMing me, bothered by the fact I can't really thumb up any ideas for my older stories at the moment I'll be placing them on permanent hiatus until further notice. The Next Legend has already been stated to be on one while I work on the massive fixing work. Others will be placed on it. Here's the list

Contingency—Gods of SAO—Legend of the Noblesse—HOTD: Naruto Style—New Breed—Real Me—The Next Legend

Everything else either has partially finished chapters I am currently working on, I'm currently creating a special one for Halloween or will once the new computer rolls in. Appreciate everyone's support! You help make the magic happen!
