Horror Hunters: The Phantom Game

Game 3: Hide and Seek Part 1

       
    We all survived the second game. You can say it was luck and smart thinking. Like before, Pro was already ahead of us, he did not waste a second and was already heading to the third game. As we followed through, there was a big storage room with green lasers crossing every corner. We saw that Pro was on an elevator platform and started to head up, he crossed the lasers successfully.

           "Hey, Pro! Dammit that guy is so annoying!" Ayoi complained.

        "More importantly we need to get across these lasers.." I said. "I wonder what it does if you touch them." I threw a small rock I found at one of the lasers. The rock disintegrated as soon as it touched the laser. Ayoi gulped loudly as she saw it. Of course Shadow didn't seem bothered. We all crossed through the lasers. Carefully, it was no problem for me and Shadow. Although on the other hand Ayoi almost touched the laser, if she hadn't kept her balance she would have died.

       We all got on the platform, I pressed a button to make it start and we started to ascend to the upper floor. We made it and saw the next entrance with a sign that said "Game 3" above it. Pro seemed to be standing next to someone else, he was talking with someone who was also stuck here with us.

       "Hey Pro! Why are you ignoring us?" I asked.

       "This is Areku. We just met but it seems he has interesting information for us.." said Pro.

       "Heya! I am Areku and you're wondering how and why I am here. I am not a night guard nor a parent but I am a hunter." Areku introduced himself. He was shorter than me and Pro, he had red hair and he seemed kinda weird.

      "Areku? Never mind that, Pro do you know what the next game is?" Ayoi asked.

      "As I was introducing myself" Areku interrupted. "I came here to investigate Mr. Sunny. You may not know but he is possessed by the spirit of an evil man..."

     "Tell us more about this man." Shadow demanded.

     "The man I speak of...his name is...Kira Mirai." Areku answered.

      "Kira Mirai?! No way! That guy-" Shadow stuttered and couldn't continue to speak.

      "That's right. Kira was an infamous serial killer in this city. He managed to kill about 23 people." continued Areku. "He was able to stay hidden for 13 years..that's how long he killed for. 5 years ago, he committed suicide by bombing himself and 9 other people he held hostage against a confrontation with police. It was devastating..."

      "If I remember correctly, the place where he killed himself was near Mr. Sunny's Toyshop, at an abandoned warehouse. No one dares to set foot there." Pro claimed.

     "He created Mr. Sunny and the toyshop, he was a creative businessman." said Areku. "He came to the toyshop the night of his death and used an evil curse given to him by a witch. It allowed his soul to trap itself inside Mr. Sunny when he died and now wants to haunt and kill people using games like the ones you've all been through."

      "Oh no! We need to get through Game 3!" Ayoi exclaimed.

    "Right, I am not alone my companion is here as well but he was abducted by Mr. Sunny as he chased us. We were able to break in the toyshop without you guys knowing. It could be that he's in one of the games up ahead or maybe even worse..." Areku explained.

"We're that bad at night guards?" Pro wondered disappointingly. "Never mind that, let's get going."

      "Alright, let's do this." I said bravely. We all entered the third game, the place that the game took place in was huge. There were giant toy blocks all around.

    They were all placed together, on the left there were blocks placed together that formed a fortress. On the right, blocks were placed together that formed a castle tower. We were all mesmerizing the whole place. Then Mr. Sunny spoke.

      "I see you guys made it through the second game. It wasn't too hard was it huh?" spoke Mr. Sunny. "For this game, you will have 30 seconds to hide on or behind any of the blocks. After, a gigantic robot toy will come in the game arena, chopping down the blocks until it reaches you and crushes you to death! Hehehehe."

     "I see, so a game of hide and seek huh? This will be fun." said Areku

     "In order to pass this game, you need to survive for 2 minutes. When the 2 minutes are up, a timer will beep and the giant robot will shut off." Mr. Sunny was done explaining. "Let the game begin!"

      The 30 second countdown began. We all spread out. Me, Ayoi, and Shadow went and hid behind the blocks that formed the castle tower. We could also climb the blocks if we wanted to, but we decided to hide at the bottom. The castle tower had a block bridge that connected to a formed block house. I hid behind a rectangle block that held the tower, Ayoi hid next to a cylinder block that held the bridge and Shadow hid inside the block house.

      Pro and Areku hid at the block fortress, I couldn't see Pro so I assumed he hid behind the bottom cylinder blocks acting as pillars where I couldn't see. Areku was at the top of the fortress, he climbed it and was standing behind a rectangle block that had a square and triangle block on top of it.

      "I forgot to mention that if the robot sees you, it will immediately start heading over to you until it crushes your guts and spills your blood all over the floor. HAHAHA!" Mr. Sunny explained maniaclly.

      "Great, thanks for the warning.." Ayoi sighed.

        There were two metal shutters, a small and a really big shutter, the small one seemed to be the exit since it had a red lettered sign above, I couldn't see it too well because it was far away. The big shutter was huge in width and length, it had a green light shining above it, that one seemed to be where the giant robot would come from. I had a very strange and eerie feeling. The 30 seconds were up and the timer beeped, the big shutter opened up and revealed the giant toy robot that had a big replica of Mr. Sunny's head on it. It was a giant Mr. Sunny robot and it was going to crush every single one of us to death.
