As night fell, Pixie-Bob gathered the students of Class 1-A and Class 1-B around the campfire. The flickering flames cast long shadows across their faces, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Pixie-Bob: (with a mischievous smile) Tonight, we have a special activity planned for you all—a test of courage race! Class 1-B will try to scare Class 1-A as they venture through the race. You'll be traveling in pairs.

The students exchanged excited and nervous glances, ready for the challenge ahead. Ben and Daisy were paired together for the race. They took their positions at the starting line, their hearts racing with anticipation.

As they entered the dark, dense forest, the trees loomed overhead, their branches casting eerie shadows in the moonlight. The path was narrow and winding, and every rustle in the bushes seemed amplified in the quiet night.

Suddenly, the air grew colder, and a deep, unsettling darkness began to envelop the path. Out from the shadows emerged Tyrone Johnson and Tandy Bowen, known as Cloak and Dagger, both from Class 1-B. Tyrone's dark hoodie and the billowing shadow of his cloak contrasted sharply with Tandy's elegant demeanor and the eerie glow of her light.

Tyrone: (with a deep, ominous voice) Welcome to the dark. Are you ready to face your fears?

His shadowy cloak expanded, swallowing the light and creating an intense, suffocating darkness around Ben and Daisy. Tyrone's black skin and the dark fabric of his cloak melded together, making him seem like a specter emerging from the abyss.

Tandy: (stepping closer, her blonde hair shimmering faintly in the dark) You can't hide from the light forever.

Her eyes glowed with an eerie luminescence, casting an almost ghostly glow. A crescent-shaped mark on the side of her face seemed to accentuate her eerie presence, the mark glowing faintly with the same light as her eyes. The contrast between her bright blonde hair and the dark shadows around her created a striking visual effect, intensifying the unsettling atmosphere.

Despite the fearsome display, Ben and Daisy remained unaffected by Cloak and Dagger's tactics. They pressed forward, their determination unwavering. Tandy, visibly frustrated, clenched her fists as her light flickered with increasing intensity.

Tandy: (angrily) Why aren't you scared? This is supposed to be terrifying!

Daisy: (holding her arms up defensively, her voice steady) We're not falling for your tricks. We've faced worse.

Ben: (calmly, with a determined look) We stick together. Let's keep moving.

As Ben and Daisy continued through the dark forest, they suddenly noticed a thick, unexpected smoke rising in the distance. The smoke billowed through the trees, creating an ominous haze that was clearly out of place in their test of courage race.

Tyrone: (squinting through the darkness) That smoke... that's not part of the race.

Tandy: (frowning, her frustration giving way to concern) You're right. We need to check it out.

Just then, a flash of lightning illuminated the night sky, followed by a sudden crack of thunder that shook the forest. The bright, flashing light revealed the silhouettes of three figures emerging from the smoke.

As the lightning flashed and the storm raged on, the Trix revealed themselves fully, stepping out from the swirling smoke. The sight was both captivating and terrifying.

Icy, with her icy-blue hair and chilling presence, took a step forward. Her voice was cold and sharp, cutting through the storm's roar.
