Haunted Corruption: Livigirl88's Version

Chapter One: The Nightmare Flowers

"My name is Derek Terrabora. And since I am writing this, I cannot believe it has been an entire month ever since I left Wonderworld- it was quite the experience, with me meeting all my new friends and such- I'll never forget that fateful day." Derek said to himself as he wrote in his diary- only to be met with the ringing of his doorbell.

At the door was Clarissa Swan, his ballerina friend- and she seemed to be worried. "Derek, I can't find my ballet tote- I've been looking all over for it, and it seems as if I left it back at my dance class!" Clarissa replied. "Well, maybe you could go pick it up tomorrow." Derek said as he gave a potted hydrangea to the ballerina. "Thank you- but is it just me, or have you contacted me recently?" Clarissa asked. "Not at all." Derek replied. "Just as I thought. See you tomorrow!" Clarissa said as she left Derek's house.

"Clarissa doesn't act like that!" Thought Derek as he went back to tending his plants. But just then, he realized something: "My friends don't really act like that, do they?!" He said to himself as he put away his gardening supplies, then got out his bike and sped out into the streets of Timeville. Little did he know, the shadow of his own Nega Boss, Audtrap VIII, was behind him. "Guys, I'm gonna come and help ya!" He said as he cycled through the streets- hoping to see some familiar faces.

But suddenly, with a honk or two- a humanoid swan creature flew through the starry sky! "What was that?!" He asked himself. He knew that the swan figurine was absolutely recognizable- it was Clarissa- but somehow she had merged with a swan. "What is going on?!" He asked himself as he parked his bike near the Timeville Botanical Gardens- hoping to find some clues. But then, the whinny of a horse shocked him into noticing a very familiar figure- Jeremy!

"Jeremy! It's me! I'm right here!" Derek replied as he rushed over- only to be greeted with a giant centaur in front of his face. "Pardner! It's me!" He replied as he galloped over to Derek. "AAAAHHHH!!" Derek screamed as he rushed away for safety- hoping to avoid the gaze of the centaur monster... but to no avail at all.

"Oh no.. first Clarissa and now Jeremy! What's going on?!" He replied, then out of nowhere, a beautiful cosmos flower had appeared- but it radiated a minty green glow. "I've never seen a flower like that!" He replied to himself as he took it, then began to experience a vision. "Gaaaaaaah!" He replied, seeing a memory with him, Clarissa, and Jeremy when they were young...

"Hey Clarissa! Over here!" A five year old Jeremy said as he rushed over on his pretend horse. "Okay then! Race you to the gardens!" Said Clarissa as she skipped away with her ballet slippers- humming Dance of The Sugarplum Fairy as she went. Soon, they came upon a giant rosebush- with a then 17 year old Derek trimming it. "Hey, you two! I'd be happy to pick some roses for you." He said, grabbing some garden shears and climbing to the top of the rosebush.

"Thank you so much!" Clarissa said as she took the beautiful flower and held it. "What's your name?" Jeremy asked as he took the Rose that Derek gave him and put it in his belt. "Derek Terrabora. I'm currently a senior in high school." He said, coming down the ladder and placing his gardening tools back in his overalls.

As the flashback ended, Derek gasped. "Did I really have true generosity in my heart?!" He asked himself. But then his surprise turned to panic when he heard the roar of a Kaiju nearby. "Stella! I'm coming!" He said as he ran to help his lover. The seeds of doubt and corruption were just beginning to sprout...
