The Mystery of Marcus
Of all the times and traditions we have in this world, Halloween is the most upside down and bizarre idea for a national holiday. Dress up like monsters, play tricks for treats, ghosts, goblins, carve up some pumpkins, enter a graveyard. But in a night of a masks and costumes, how can one be really sure if the beast behind that mask is really a beast? Pointing a finger or labeling someone is a very trick and, complicated matter to do with people.
We all show different faces and act differently around certain people, and in certain places. So in truth it's like were having Halloween all year round. But what if there was someone who had a world to hide behind their mask huh? What if possibly there was a person with a secret so big, it's very mentioning could spell disaster & death? After all Halloween is a night of treats & tricks. Takato and the Tamers are very excited for Halloween, as are their Digimon.
But they are about to encounter a secret, of dark epic proportions. One that will definitely Halloween, one dark and monstrous night to remember...........
"WAHHH" Takato screamed and dropped on his butt, wincing a bit as he stared at Guilmon shaking his brown hair wildly. "Guilmon what in the world are you doing with that?" the now laughing tamer, was referring to the ridiculously big white sheet over his body. "I'm Ghostmon aren't the scariest Digimon RARRR!" both Takato and Guilmon laughed at that. Smiling at his red dinosaur friend's goofy costume happily, it made Takato feel really good.
"Afterall a Digimon's life can be filled with just eating, sleeping, and battling bad Digimon forever right Guilmon?" he asked his Digimon, who nodded happily. Takato had already explained to Guilmon as well the other tamers & their Digimon, that they should take a rest from battling & enjoy Halloween. Gently staring out at the park, watching young kids play within Takato's brown eyes. Guilmon scarfed down the bread Takato brought him eagerly.
Before turning back to his Digimon, Takato gasped as he saw something moving in the center of the park. It wasn't a Digimon nor was it any Deva or anything like that, it was a human boy. But something was odd about him. Suddenly the shadow collapsed on the floor, Takato gasped and ran to him. Racing his blue sneakers into the grassy earth with his heart pumping, he called back to "Guilmon come here someone's been hurt" Takato cried.
As he ran a familiar face came into view, a kid with dark storm blue hair and a Terriermon backpack. "Hey Henry can you give me a hand here?" Henry widened his eyes and nodded, immediately running to the fallen boy. "No wonder you were running so fast did you see what hit him?" Henry asked, Takato shook his goggled head and carried the boy's legs and waist. Soon Guilmon nudged his red head under the boy's back, helping the lower weight.
"I hope he's gonna be all right Takato-mon" Takato winced and sweat dropped, gently laying down the boy in Guilmon's little dog house home. "Oh me too Guilmon me too" Terriermon hopped off Henry's back and flapped his big ear like wings onto the boy's face, fanning his forehead. "First a little doll, then a back pack, now a fan what am I a maid Ow" Terriermon frowned at Henry's "tap". Henry's sweating face reflected his shivering nervousness.
Staring at the boy only replayed the same image of fright over and over to the boys. Eyelids closed tightly with dark green hair in spiked masses, wearing a black torn up Jean jacket with a red T-shirt sporting a yellow bio hazard sign. Slightly dirtied up blue jeans, wearing black neon colored sneakers on his feet. Most interesting thing about him was a tiny thin zig zag designed scar, right below his right eye. Suddenly the dark storm blue eyes had awakened.
"Takato-mon can we play with him now?" Guilmon sniffed the boy eagerly as ever, Takato gulped and immediately pushed his Digimon outside the hut. Telling him to be quiet, Henry panicked and gagged Terriermon shut using him as a back pack again. "Oh man....what the AH!" the boy screamed and immediately jerked up backing against the wall, gulping to catch his breathe. "Woe, woe, wait a second there hey buddy calm down your safe here" Takato raised his hands in the air friendly, soon the boy nodded & sighed with relief.
Henry smiled a bit "Whew boy you sure gave us quite a scare there, feeling all right now?" the boy nodded and slowly stood up walking towards them. "Not till thank you guys, thanks that was real kind of you" Takato and Henry blushed bashfully, shaking hands with the boy as he began to smile as well. "It was nothing really I mean we couldn't really just leave you there" Takato slapped his goggled head and laughed, "Oh yeah and my name's Takato".
Henry nodded and said "I'm Henry" "And my name's Marcus" the green shaggy haired boy answered. Takato was about to ask him what happened to him, but he noticed Marcus was looking for something. Henry blinked "Lose something?" Marcus turned scratching his green hair, "I thought I heard a 3rd voice" Henry and Takato gulped. They had always tried their best to keep their Digimon a secret to others. "Takato why are you shaking?" Marcus said.
Takato didn't realized he was sweating uncontrollably and shaking nervously, "Who me awe n-n-nothing?" "OW" Henry suddenly said wincing in pain. Marcus stared oddly at Henry, it looked like something behind him was shaking him. "There's absolutely no one else here but us Marcus" Takato nodded quickly agreeing Henry, Marcus sighed shrugging "Okay". "Yup no one here but else dolls" Marcus stared wide eyed and pointed to Henry.
"Then what the hell was that?" Henry growled and, grabbed Terriermon from behind shaking him angrily like a real rag doll. "What part of DON'T TALK don't you understand?" Terriermon gargled "GAH Henry that's AH TIGHT". Marcus started to back up to the door totally baffled, Takato tried to stop him but suddenly another voice popped in. "I'm tired of hiding, where is Marcus-mon anyway?" Marcus blinked, quickly turning around to meet Guilmon. Takato slapped his in anguish and groaned "Marcus meet uh.....Guilmon".
Naturally their was ALOT of explaining to do, after all Marcus had only met these kids for a few minutes and already things have gotten beyond freaky. So to make sure Marcus trusted them enough to promise not to spill the beans, Henry and Takato explained everything. Surprisingly Marcus took it really well even Guilmon liked him. "Guilmon you have got to be the coolest thing on the face of the earth" Marcus exclaimed, Guilmon stared at him confused.
"Is my face really that big, the whole earth?" everyone simply broke out in laughter, even Marcus laughed with joy. And it was really odd too, because Takato seemed to have taken a shine to Marcus. "It's really funny but this Marcus kid seems alot like me before I met Guilmon, I'm actually glad I told him about Guilmon and Terriermon" Takato thought to himself with pride. Suddenly the sky seemed to dimmer blending the golden rays of the sun, with the purple waves of the moon lit sky. Terriermon waddled over to Marcus.
Extending a tiny green paw to Marcus "Huh?", "Just wanna say sorry for scaring ya Mickey Marcus" Marcus frowned and stared at him. "I don't take likely to being INSULTED" Terriermon blinked "Sheesh it was just a joke", Takato blinked as Marcus suddenly sweat dropped and sighed a bit. "Sorry I probably should have mentioned this but at times I have a hard time, telling the difference between sarcasm & serious". Terriermon nodded. "But an apology is an apology" Marcus grabbed Terriermon's paw, & shook it wildly.
Terriermon waved in the air screaming "Help Henry WAH" they all simply laughed again, soon it came time for Henry and Terriermon to head home. Guilmon happily waved (and licked) Marcus good-bye, calling him "The best scared friend I ever had" Marcus chuckled. Takato decided to help walk him home even though, "I have no clue where you live so I guess you don't mind me being chatty". Marcus shook his head towards Takato "My new friend".
Takato pulled his arms behind his head, walking past the park where they found him as he asked Marcus. "So what exactly happened to you back there Marcus, I mean was it a faint spell or a heat stroke" suddenly Marcus stopped. Closing his eyes slowly Marcus held his right arm tightly, almost shivering with fright at Takato's question. "I mean it's not that hot to black out and I've never heard of a guy fainting" Takato blushed and sweat dropped.
"Well other then (ahem) me once but I SWEAR, dad was not drunk when he wore the huh?" Takato suddenly realized Marcus was shaking. Forget shivering, he was down right frigid. "Oh my god....Marcus what's wrong was it something I said I" "I can't tell you", Takato could barely believe it. Marcus was shivering with such cold dripping sweat, it looked like he was dying. Something heavily pulsed on his red shirt, he immediately grabbed it tightly.
"Takato your my best friend....but I can't....not now I gotta HURRY" Marcus broke away from him, running at full speed in fear and terror. Confused and dazed Takato watched as his new friend ran, unaware of the occurring change. "That's so weird for a minute there it looked like his eyes were changing colors and", the second the young tamer looked down to the ground. Something mirrored in his brown fear filled eyes, like nothing he's ever seen.
That yellow bio hazard sign that was on Marcus red shirt, it was on the ground where he was standing. Surging with a glowing energy aura, Takato reached out to touch it but suddenly a voice screamed into his ears. "PHOTOMOUS PORTA" Takato screamed and held his brown hair rightly, eyes widening at the voice "That was Marcus and the sign it's now....gone". He slowly raised his dazed eyes to the sky, Takato was simply stunned.
The bio hazard sign was gone simply melted away like a glob of sizzling ice cream, Takato slowly walked away. Blue in the face with complete confusion. So confused he failed to see a yellow flash appear behind him, as Rika was laying unconscious in a garbage can. Smoking of yellow fumes. As a voice cackled in the wind "The fun is just beginning...........Takato".
