In Bakugan city things are just as lively as ever. The leaves are their mix of brown, red, and orange. People are setting up decorations. For it is that time of year. It is October the month of spooks and scares. Everything is perfect. No disturbances, nor chaos happening. It is actually normal for once. . . . . . . Where is Grimm Hallow? "Over here drink my pumpkin spice latte." Grimm is dressed up like an everyday Joe Shmoe Wait what. You are even where your mask at least? "Why would I bother?" Because it is October. Don't you usually cause trouble and chaos. Like what is the deal. "Well narrator I'm glad you asked. You it is actually because of that. Eh hem." Grimm clears his throat. "Oh no" goes Dreadcrash. "It is October." Grimm begins to sing. Somehow nobody noticing what Grimm is doing. He then teleports to a nearby roof top. "The month of scares and fright. The time chaos truly shines. Everybody screaming in delight. Trick or treat. You can smell your own feet. This is October you see. And Everybody knows what that means. This October you see. That means IT'S HALLOWEEN!" Grimm pulls the camera along with him. The scenes change from a graveyard to a haunted mansion houses with jack o' lanterns. "It's October you see. The Autumn festival if you please. People will sing. People will dance. People will trick or treat. People in costumes dressed to scare and have fun. For all the eye too see. You see Halloween is special to me. But for me it must wait. But beware the witching hour. For once it strikes 13 that shall be the final hour. Muwhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" The scene changes again with Grimm walking down the sidewalk of a busy city street. Atom uselessloserinfinty Blaze Hayes Besides the people I invited if you want to join just pm to let me know ahead of time. Or not and make things a surprise. It is October after all. Why not?

I sighed as I put up the last of the five or six Halloween decorations I had. "Just like back home. Man, I can't believe it's been so long already. I came here in May, and to think it's already October." I looked back around at my stick-up witches and pumpkins, and looked at the autumn reef I had. "Just one more thing to put up, and it's just like back home. Man, I wonder what my family is doing. What's my brother going as?" I sighed, and picked up the reef. I walked over to my door and opened it, hanging it up on the hook I had installed. I closed the door again. "I really miss home." I steeled my resolve. "But, my job to defend Realities is not one I can overlook. I was brought here to gain more practice, and that's what I'm going to do." Leonidas popped open on my desk. "So, what's the plan now?" He asked. "We've already sent the others to their partners for the holidays." Reginas popped open too. "It's just me and Leo here, and it's just not going to be the same without the others." "I know guys, but they deserve to be with their partners too." I smiled. "And after what I told Azion, he'll be surprised that Pyreon has already evolved again." My hand glowed black, and I shifted some darkness around my apartment. It shifted back the moment I stopped focusing on it, but Clate appeared in front of me. "You want to know what I'm surprised by?" He asked. "Sure, I'll bite." I said. "What're you surprised by?" "The fact we haven't heard anything about Grimm for the past five days is what's surprising." "Yeah, it is strange." Agreed Leo. "Normally, he'd be trying to fight us or make us help him with his gene." "As long as he's not causing trouble, he's none of my concern." I said. "But I can't help but feel like he's up to something." I shrugged my shoulders. "Eh, if we don't hear anything about him by tomorrow, I won't worry about him for the rest of the week. I'm going to put a movie on. Anybody want popcorn?" I suddenly felt a ripple. Clate turned his head to face its source. "Did you feel that?" I asked. "Yep. And I bet I know what's going on. I'll be back in a bit." Clate suddenly vanished, being drawn to the source of the ripple. "Breaking the fourth wall is my job. I wonder who did it this time." Clate continued to travel to the source of chaos, hearing someone sing. "Oh, come on. Really Grimm? It's October! Get over it!" He turned around and headed back to my apartment. He reappeared in front of me. "Ok, nothing much. Just Grimm singing, probably talking to a narrator or something." "And here I thought we might just be able to have some peace and quiet, if even for a week." Popping began to happen at my stove. "Popcorn's ready." I went over there to keep tabs on it and took it off when the pops started happening every three seconds. I poured it out into a large bowl, and brought that back to everybody else. "Okay guys, what're we watching today?" For the first time in the past three months, we were able to just relax for a little while. None of us knew how long it would last, so we were going to make the most of it.

Elsewhere.....
"Get back here!" Ivan screamed gleefully.
He was in hot pursuit of gazelle. It was obvious he intended on eating the creature, via the drool dripping from his mouth. He was leaping tree to tree using his ehanced physically features.
"Take this!" Ivan screamed. As he did a burst of flames roared wildly at the target. Ivan stopped dead in his tracks and looked around. "Uh-oh!" He said nervously.
The forest roared as the flames grew. At this point he had lost track of the gazells and focused his attention to putting out the forest fire.
"What do i do what do I do?!" Ivan panicked. He bounced comically in a fit of fear. Kauis opened up and floated in front of Ivan. He squirted water at Ivan gaining his attention in a snap.
"HEY, GET A GRIP MAN BEFORE YOU BURN DOWN THIS WHOLE FOREST!" The seabound defender shouted comicslly.
Ivan aimed his attention to his Aquos bakugan.
"The solution is simple you idiot, Kauis began, Just use you Aquos Form Change." Ivans face relaxed and he smiked dumbfounded. "Ohhh Yeahhh, huh, I forgot i could do that." Kauis sighed, closed hinself, and returned to Ivan. "Form Change: Aquos!" Ivan shouted. His bosy began to illuminated the dark blue comor of the Aquos attribute and before long the new form was revealed. In this form Ivan wore a backpack-like device that contained water. Attatched were two "tentacle" like attatchements. His body was now covered in cybernetic armor, (halo like armor), which also contained a helemet. Ivans suit glowed and the two attatchments took the form of shoulder cannons. Sploosh! Water concentrated like a jet blasted outward. It took no longer than five mintutes to extinguish the flames, restoring "peace".
"Phew!" Ivan sighed relieved. He returend to hid normal ragged tunics "rags". "Yikes." He commented on the condition of the forest. "I think I should go." Ivan said.
Kauis agrees.
As Ivan headed home, via foot, he noticed some fairly familar vocals echoing in the air. "Hmmmm who is that?" He questioned. Ivan discared the singing and pulled out his phone dialing a number. "I wonder whar Atoms been up too."

As Grimm went along singing and such he would hear the normal newspaper cry. "READ ALL ABOUT IT! READ ALL ABOUT IT!" The man called out. Just another boring newspaper right? "Bakugan go missing in middle of the night! Mystery Halloween thief!" The man then called out. Now that's interesting. Right?
If Grimm stopped to listen he would see a familer red head with a black long jacket come past and grab a newspaper. He would look down at it while walking. Before he would chuckle and put the paper away.
"This halloween is so silly" A bakugan called out as he stayed in the jacket to stay warm."And it's so cold!" The manchuckled at that. "It is cold yes. However, Halloween as silly it may be is a great chance for tests and fun."
His bakugan looked at him then and smirked. With that said and done if Grimm didn't notice him he would stop and turn before shouting cheerfully, "Hi Grimm!" He couldn't blow his cover now could he.

Ren will notice that he is over looking the city in a high rise appartment. "Jumping jaggies Ren you got to be more descreat. One can only teleport two people without causing a scene so much." Grimm pants. Clearly startled by the guy. "So Ren what do you need?"
"Yes Ren what do you need? Are you here to check up on us?" Darkheart ask.
"Drinks are behind you." Grimm add. "This is October. The month of spooks and scares. This is my time of year. Please don't ruin it for me."

Meanwhile at Atom's house Alice walks in using the spare key. Wearing a witches dress of all things. "Atom stop what you are doing I got great new. You are going to love it. I got you a thir . . . . . te e e e en." She notices Clate, Leo, Reginas, and Atom are ready to hunker down and watch scary movies all night long. She walks over to the plug and pulls it out shutting down everything but security. Before any of them can react the notice plants keeping them in place. "Nope, no complaining. I made plans for a off us. Now I know it isn't Halloween but I need you to dress up like a wizard. And before you ask again. It is because I got you a Thirteen Hour's Ticket. With it somebody like you can enter the Witching Market."
"This is a tremendous occasion. Those tickets are hard to get." Goes Oberon.
"Cancel your plans boys. We are going shopping." Titiana and Alice eagerly squeal.
"Trust me you two. Alice managed to drag Grimm around like he was on a leash. There is truly no fighting her on this." Oberon tells the two sadly.

I looked at Alice. "A Thirteen Hours Ticket?" "Witching Market?" Asked Clate. "Okay, you're going to need to slow down." I said. "Remember, haven't been here since last Halloween, just since May. I don't know much about all the different events and such that happen in this Reality." "And what do you mean shopping?" Asked Leo. "The most we've ever done in a store is buy groceries." "I don't like where this is going." Said Reginas. He quickly rotated in place, breaking free of the plants. He made a mad dash for outside. "I'll be back after she's gone!" My phone rang. "Better not be another telemarketer." I pulled up my phone and noticed Ivan was calling me. "Huh, what does he want?" I answered. "Hey Ivan, what's up?"

"Whats up bro?" "How ya been?" Ivan questions. "Wow, really can I join!" Ivan squealed continuing the conversation. "GREAT!" "Be over in ten."
He put his phone away and hurried on over. "Whoo hoo!" "I just love Halloween!" He shouted with joy.
He quickened the pace, but before he could get any father he was intercepted. It was an attack of some sort that sent Ivan spiraling into a nearby building in the city.
"Ahhh!" He let out a pained groaned. The building toppled over on him restricting his movements and before he could move a figure hovered over him.
"Well well well, long time no see...... Nice to see ya Ivan." It was the voice of a man.
Ivan shook his head brushing off debri. However when he locked eyes with the man his body shuttered. For the first time in his life Ivan was feeling absolute terror.
"H-h-how did you find me?" Ivan stuttered. It was dead silent now. The man responded with silence. His expression of amusement quickly changed to one of seriousness. "Malcom Trueman!" Ivan boasted fearfully.

Alice caught Reginas with easy. Also with the help of Titiana. "Not so fast Reginas. You are going with us. As to answer your question Atom. Think of it as a market for the supernatural. Expect werewolves and vampires. Other witches and warlocks. Wizards, and etcetera, etcetera. You can get new clothes. Supplies you can only get this time of year for normal people. After all the witching hour only happens in October. There is even the Fairy Baths. A bath house for everything to relax in. Don't underestimate faeries. They give the best massages. I just want us to relax."
"Clate is considered a undead so he can get in without a ticket. And the bakugan count a familiars. Except me and Oberon but that is a story on its own. I highly emplore you too join. We all can use it." Titiana goes.
"I even have a couple of other tickets for a couple more people." Alice cheerfully says with a cinnamon roll smile.

"Let go of me!" Yelled Reginas. "Why do I get the feeling this isn't all it seems to be?" Asked Clate. "But, it's up to Atom, not me. Without him, I can't go very far, as you could probably guess." "Yeah, I agree with Clate." I said. "Why do you really want to go? I mean, it's not like you need anything there, right? From what I've seen, you don't need any special reagents for any magic you use, nor do you seem like you need anything besides what you can get at any store." I thought for a moment. "You're up to something. But, I bet that whatever you're up to couldn't be anywhere near as nefarious as what Grimm does. We'll go, this time. But if we're still here next year, just tell us why you want us to come with in the first place." I walked over to my desk and opened the drawer on it, taking out a familiar notebook. "And as for what you want me to dress as," I turned to a specific page of my notebook. "To eyes near and eyes afar, glamour me until I open this jar!" I pulled a jar out of my desk, and the magic got to work. In moments, I was encased in a magical barrier that changed my appearance to something similar to what Alice was thinking of with a wizard. "Glamour spells, huh? Can't go anywhere without them, right?" I flipped to another page as I put away the jar. "And now to help you out." I went over to my closet and grabbed a broom. "You want to look the part, right?" I looked at my notebook. "From day's dawn to night's dusk, to spend the night above, amplify this object with flight par to none!" The broom glowed, then I handed it to Alice. "For the next couple hours, you can ride that like a witch would, assuming no differences between real life ones and the ones seen in tales. I have no clue, but either way the effects are the same." I looked at my door. "Now, we're waiting for Ivan. Again." I turned to Clate. "Do you still have an anchor point on him?" "Absolutely." He replied. "Take Reginas and go find him. I'd rather not annoy Alice, knowing her power over plants." "Sure thing!" He said. He grabbed Reginas and vanished, presumably heading towards Ivan. "I'll be there in just a minute." "I'll give him our coordinates when we get to where we're going, sound good?" I turned back to Alice. "If you're ready, lead the way."

"Yippee. You are going to love the fairy baths. So relaxing and the massages are great. You are going to relax and see a whole new world you have never seen before." Alice chirps in joy. "Now admittedly you are going to be annoy. You see we can enter just about anywhere but there are certain entry points that are preferred. But in order to go in we need to go at the begining of the thirteenth hour and leave before it ends. But don't worry. Time slows down once in. Once in we can spend a week under normal circumstance." Alice goes on.
"But do be careful. Once in the Witching Market we can easily get separated. Please try to stay together." Oberon adds.
"Okay that settles it then. To the overpass on Ninth. Lets go." Alice leads the way out of Atom's house with him in tow.

Ivan, still petrified, managed to get to his feet.
"I dont understand, Malcom, your not suppose to be here you were sealed away." Ivan began.
The man he addressed as Malcom regained his calm sinister grin. He said nothing to Ivans horrfied reaction to seeing him. Ivan was getting angry at this point.
"Explain yourself NOW!" "HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET FREE!"
Malcom remained silent.
"Fine if your not going to talk then I'll just beat it out of you how does that sound?" Ivan asked rhetorically. He reached for a gate card and launched it.
"Gate card set!" "Bakugan Brawl!" "Bakugan stand!" "Rise Ventus Jasper, The Skybound Defender!" Ivan shouted .
As he spoke Jasper took fligjt soaring high into the air releasing a ear piercing caw that bounced through the air. "Get ready because here we come!" Ivan hollered.

Meanwhile back with Grimm.
"Oh Ren while you are here I want to give you something. It is a Thirteen Hour Ticket. This gives you access to the Witching Market. I was going to go to the fairy bathes today. Personally I can use a break from being all crazy. But hey it is up to you if you want to join." Grimm says while holding the ticket out to Ren. "After the baths we can go to the dark alleys. All sorts of shady characters. And no better place to get more. Interesting supplies." Grimm put emphasis on the word interesting.

My smile faded as the fool and his pest of a bakugan headed my way. I was too say the least, utterly annoyed. Despite my hostility towards Ivan a fight was the last thing I needed right now. So I acted fast. I held out my hand and a invisbile force stopped both attackers dead in their tracks.
"Tsk tsk tsk, still the same old Ivan, act first think later." I said. "Not like it matters though, I have no intentions on fighting you or your pathetic bakugan!" I exclamied proudly.
As I said this both Ivan and the avian-like bakugan warrior were sent back the direction they came. The force of my power uprooted the ground below causing Ivans gate card to shatter in the process. A cry of pain could be heard from both and with a flash of green light his ventus bakugan returned to ball form and landed beside the defeated Ivan.

Clate continued travelling, heading towards Ivan's location. "I swear, if he got himself into trouble like the time when Atom had Chaos Poisoning" He felt a deep evil ahead. "Ivan, what the heck?! You get into trouble more often than Atom does!" He appeared in front of Ivan, in between him and Malcom. "Okay, one finger on him, and you go down. I don't know what you want with him, but I was sent by a friend to get him quickly. And based on the evil presence I can feel from you, it's nothing good for him." His hands glowed black, ready to fight. "You have ten seconds to tell me who you are and what you want with him, understood?" He drew his sword, which was also cloaked in the black glow.
