Story 1: The twins’ haunted house

• (Courtney is dressed up as Scooby Doo, waiting for Eclipse and Little Betty to arrive)
• Courtney: Can’t wait to see what costumes Eclipse and Little Betty have on!
• Eclipse: Courtney!
• (Eclipse is dressed up as Chase and Little Betty is dressed up as Skye from Paw Patrol)
• Courtney: Hey, guys! Nice costumes! *to Eclipse* I see you’re Chase.
• Eclipse: Yep! Chase is on the case!
• Courtney: *to Little Betty* And you’re Skye.
• Little Betty: Yeah. This pup’s gotta fly!
• Eclipse: And you’re Scooby-Doo!
• Courtney: Yeah, Yeah! Scooby Dooby Doo!! We gotta get going! It’s time to go trick or treating!
• Eclipse: Then, let’s go!
• Little Betty: Yeah!
• (They head out to go trick or treating until they came upon the old abandoned house in the old street in Sunny Bay)
• Courtney: Hey! It’s the old house where I got into trouble with Mephisto and Praxina 2 years ago. Best not to go in there.
• Eclipse: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go.
• Little Betty: Agreed.
• (But, both ways were blocked off by black crystals!)
• Courtney: Oh no!
• Little Betty: What’ll we do?!
• Courtney: Looks like the only way out of this is through the old house.
• (Lightning strikes from behind the old house)
• Little Betty and Eclipse: *scared*
• Courtney: It’s okay to be scared. But, don’t worry, we’ll use Lilo’s coping mechanism. *goes over to the front door and opens it as she sings* Aloha óe, aloha óe. E ke onaona noho i ka lipo... One fond embrace, A ho’i a’e au. Until-
• (Suddenly, the front door closes behind the girls, startling them!)
• Courtney, Eclipse, and Little Betty: *screams in fear as they hug each other*
• Courtney: We gotta keep going. Come on.
• (They keep on going through the old house to find a way out of here)
• Courtney: *opens a door and looks inside which is all dark* Hello? Anyone in here?
• (They suddenly hear some music starting as they see an animatronic weasel shining in the spotlight which is Mephisto in disguise as Willy the Weasel)
• Willy (Mephisto): *sings* Six little chickens at the end of the line. Six little chickens at the end of the line. One happy weasel says, “It’s dinner time”. Six little chickens oughta be just fine. Six little chickens in the weasel’s den. Four little roosters and a couple of hens. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Six little chickens at the end of the line. Six little chickens. Watch out now! Six little chickens. Here comes the weasel! Six little chickens running out of time. Whoops! Five little chickens at the end of the line.
• Courtney: Okay… That was unexpected… *turns to Eclipse and Little Betty* I didn’t expect to see an animatronic weasel in this place.
• (Mephisto moves towards Courtney in his Willy Weasel costume as Eclipse and Little Betty got scared)
• Eclipse: Courtney…!
• Courtney: *her ears drop down in fear* Uh oh… Don’t tell me… He’s right behind me, isn’t he?
• Eclipse and Little Betty: Yes…
• Courtney: *sees Willy (Mephisto) behind her and screams in fear* RUN FOR IT!!!
• (They run off)
• Mephisto: *takes off the head of his costume and laughs evilly*
• Praxina: Nice job, brother. Now, we just need to separate the princess from her friends and she’ll be ours.
• (Courtney, Eclipse, and Little Betty were panting heavily after running away from the disguised Mephisto)
• Eclipse: *pants* Did we lose him?
• Courtney: *pants* I think so…
• Little Betty: We gotta get outta here!
• Mephisto: *as Willy* Where are you going, kids? The fun has just begun!
• Courtney: Yikes!!
• (They run for it in separate directions until Eclipse and Little Betty were caught in some cages and Courtney was caught in a trap in the floor leading to a secret room)
• Eclipse and Little Betty: Courtney!
• Courtney: *sliding down the slide which causes all the black spots from her costume fly off her body and lands in a room as she gets up while rubbing her head* Ow… My head… *looks at her surroundings and walks around* What is this place?
• (There was some chemistry sets on the tables as Courtney jumps up on the table to get a closer look and then she realizes that this is where the Darkness Transformation Potion is made!)
• Courtney: So, this is where the Darkness Transformation Potion is made… *turns to see a chair which is the same chair that can be found in a mental asylum with restraints and an IV filled with the potion standing on the left side* The twins… They must be kidnapping innocent people and animals for their evil plans to find the oracle gems and defeat Iris and the others once and for all.
• Praxina: How right you are, mutt!
• Courtney: *turns to see Mephisto (who is still disguised as Willy Weasel) and Praxina* Praxina! You’re working with Willy Weasel?
• Mephisto: *takes off the head of his costume* Guess again, mutt!
• Courtney: Mephisto? You were Willy Weasel?! You tricked us!
• Mephisto: *takes off his Willy Weasel costume and walks towards Courtney who backs away with Praxina* And it was so easy to separate you from your friends. And now, you’ll be the next one to be turned evil.
• Courtney: You’re gonna have to catch me first! *flies off using her ears*
• Praxina: Oh no you don’t! *fires her magic at Courtney*
• Courtney: *dodges Praxina’s magic* You’ll never take me alive!! *flies towards the door*
• Praxina: *uses her black crystal magic to seal off the door, trapping her inside the room*
• Courtney: *stops in front of the door and lands on the ground as she uses her claws to try and break through the black crystal barrier blocking the door but no luck* Oh no! I’m trapped! *sees Praxina’s shadow looming over her as she turns around* …!
• Praxina: *grabs Courtney by the scruff and picks her up*
• Courtney: Dah! *tries to get free from her grip* Let me go! *tries to backhand Praxina but she grabs her wrist and starts squirming*
• Praxina: *brings Courtney over to the chair* Now, now, mutt. This will all be over soon. *puts Courtney in the chair and straps her in, tight*
• Courtney: *struggles to get out of the chair after being strapped in* Let me go! Or you’ll be sorry! *keeps on trying to get out of the chair*
• Praxina: Sorry, we can’t do that. Now, let’s get things all set up for your transfusion, shall we?
• Courtney: No!!! *panics while struggling to get free and her heart was racing* Help! Somebody help me! *tries to bite the wrist restraints off*
• Praxina: *grabs Courtney by the back of her head to stop her from biting the straps off* And don’t even think about trying to escape, little one! *straps her head down against the chair after putting an oxygen mask which is emitting oxygen on her and some wires on her chest that are connected to a heart monitor that has been turned on in order to watch her breathing and heart rate as she sees that Mephisto has set everything up for the darkness transformation potion transfusion by filling up a syringe with a numbing medication* Now, that everything’s in place. It’s time to begin.
• Courtney: No… *sheds some tears* Please… don’t… *closes her eyes and turns her head away meaning that she was scared* Please… *keeps on shedding tears* I don’t wanna do this…
• Mephisto: *flicks the syringe to let all the air bubbles out of it, grabs her arm by the elbow, gently and rubs an alcohol swab on her arm as he holds up the syringe* Now, hold still. This’ll only sting a little. *injects the numbing medication with the syringe all around her arm inside of her elbow where the cuff is going to be placed*
• Courtney: *feeling the needle from the syringe* Ow! Hey! Stop that! It hurts!
• Mephisto: Too bad, mutt. *finishes injecting the last of the numbing solution, puts the syringe down on the surgical tool table and begins adjusting the IV cuff onto Courtney’s arm after numbing the area on her arm inside of her elbow as he tightens it a bit to make sure it doesn’t slip off her arm* There. All nice and tight. Now, the fun part begins. *goes over to the primary bag which has the potion in it that’s hanging from the IV pole right next to the chair and opens the drip chamber to make the darkness transformation potion drip into the tube*
• (The Darkness Transformation Potion goes through the IV tube and makes its way down to the cuff as the cuff beeps, the light on it turns green, and automatically clamps itself into place on Courtney’s arm, beginning to pump the potion into her body through her veins)
• Courtney: *grunts while struggling to get out of the chair but she suddenly feels drowsy from the potion that was being pumped into her veins and her ears drop down* Guys… Help… *sheds a tear meaning she wants her family as she starts to feel very sleepy but tries hard not to fall asleep from the effects of the potion while still trying to get free from the restraints but her body was unable to move properly because she was getting sleepy*
• (The heart monitor beeps as the sound changes meaning that Courtney‘s heart rate is starting to slow down due to her being tired from the potion’s effects)
• Praxina: *goes over to the opposite side of the chair and kneels down beside her* Now, now, princess… *pets Courtney on the head and holds her paw* It’s alright.
• Courtney: *breathes heavily and struggles to keep her eyes open while her vision was blurry because she was getting very sleepy and she could hear her own heartbeat pounding in her ears*
• Praxina: Just close your eyes and rest… *looks at the heart monitor* And when you wake up, you’ll feel different.
• Courtney: *feeling tired from the potion’s effects* No…! Please… *sheds more tears as she hears the sound from the heart monitor feeling a bit faint due to her being tired*
• (Suddenly, Gambol Shroud wraps around Praxina’s wrist to pull her hand off Courtney’s head!)
• Praxina: Huh?! *turns to see Blake Belladonna*
• Blake: Hands off my little sister! *her cat ears fold down in anger*
• Courtney: Blake…!
• Yang: *kicks Mephisto to the ground*
• Mephisto: Oof!
• Yang: *holds him to the ground by standing on him* Not so tough now, huh?
• Courtney: Yang…!
• Ruby: *to Yang* Good job, sis! *heads over to the chair with Weiss to get Courtney out*
• Weiss: Courtney!
• Courtney: Ruby…! Weiss…!
• Ruby: *kneels down in front of her little sister as Weiss kneels right by the left side of the chair where the IV is* Are you okay? *pets Courtney on the side of her ear*
• Courtney: *tired due to the potion’s effects* Not really… Mephisto and Praxina pumped their darkness transformation potion into me… And now I feel kinda woozy…
• Weiss: *closes the drip chamber on the IV bag to stop the flow of the potion* Don’t worry, we’re gonna get you outta here. *removes the IV cuff along with the monitor wires and the oxygen mask and undos all the restraints by cutting them with her sword; Myrtenaster*
• Ruby: *picks Courtney up from out of the chair and carries her in her arms* Blake, Yang, we’ve got her! Let’s go!
• (Weiss and Yang use the Freezerburn attack to distract Mephisto and Praxina in order to make their escape)
• Mephisto: *growls in frustration* Klatznik! They got away with the mutt!
• Praxina: No matter… It won’t be long until the effects of the potion kick in.
• (Team CRWBY takes Courtney to Iris’ house in hopes that there is an antidote for the potion)
• Blake: *enters the room with Ruby (who is carrying Courtney), Yang, and Weiss* She’s not feeling well… The potion’s effects did a number on her…
• Talia: Set her down on Iris’ bed.
• (Ruby sets Courtney down on Iris’ bed)
• Courtney: *groans in sickness and pain from having the potion pumped into her veins*
• Ruby: *turns to Talia* Can you help her?
• Talia: These potion’s effects are too strong for any of us to handle. But, there’s only one way. We need to make an antidote.
• Blake: And we better make it fast. Soon, the potion’s effects will turn Courtney completely evil.
• Talia: Then, let’s get to work fast! We have no time to waste!
• (They make the antidote for Courtney and they finally finished it)
• Ruby: *picks her little sister up by lifting her back* Okay, Courts. Open up. *gives her the antidote for the darkness transformation potion which is in a vial*
• Courtney: *swallows it as she shudders meaning it tastes bitter*
• Blake: Okay, that’s it. *gives Courtney some water to wash it down* There we go.
• Talia: Now, we just have to wait for the antidote to kick in.
• Ruby: Right. *lays Courtney back down on the bed so she can rest*
• Eclipse: *comes into the room with Little Betty after they escaped* Talia! How’s Courtney? Is she alright?
• Talia: Calm down, Eclipse. Courtney’s gonna be just fine. She just needs some rest.
• Courtney: *sleeping after she was given the antidote for the darkness transformation potion*
• Ruby: *pets Courtney on the head* Yeah, she’ll be feeling better in no time.
• Courtney: *feels the antidote’s effects getting rid of the darkness transformation potion in her body as she wakes up* Guys?
• Ruby: Courtney! *hugs her little sister* I’m so glad you’re okay.
• Courtney: *hugs her big sister back*

• Adorabat: we can’t decide on a costume! I showed her like 100 in the past hour and she still can’t settle on one!
• (The four pups were talking and giggling)

• (They head into a room with a closet full of costumes that Courtney, Eclipse, and Little Betty wore the past Halloweens)
• Courtney: We have tons of costumes! I have so many costumes like Pikachu, Cinder Fall, Praxina, Wonder Woman, Pokémon Hunter J... Or my new all-time favorite, Captain Carter from Marvel’s What If!
• Liberty: wow so many choices! hey isn’t that ghost praxina costume what you used to scare the pants of geiz last halloween? van told me all about it!
• Courtney: Yep! Makini painted my face to make me more ghostly while I was dressed as Praxina.
• (as if on cue a hat that was on the floor began moving)
• Courtney: Ghost!! *jumps up in fear and hangs on to a ceiling fan*
• Liberty: (sees a tuft of red fur under the hat and lifts it up to reveal yuki) hehe you’re technically right, It’s just yuki ^^
• Yuki: (the hisuian zorua whimpers a little overwhelmed by the presence of so many people in one room)
• Courtney: What’s the matter, little guy? Cat got your tongue?

• Courtney: Okay. Eclipse’s costumes are Sy-Fy Fleegle, Maleficent, and Chase. And Little Betty only has Moana, Dumbo, and Skye.
• Liberty: sy-fy fleegle? If i wanted a creepy animatronic costume I’d go with something from fnaf, maleficent I'm not sure I can pull it off, Moana wouldn't fit me because I’m actually prone to sea sickness, I don't have the ears to pull off dumbo and it'd be kinda weird if i dressed up as chase or skye since their my teammates. hmmmm what about you courtney?
• Courtney: Well, I went as Cinder Fall during a Halloween party in Sunny Bay. I tried to scare the bozo twins with that costume to save Iris, but I failed miserably. And I went as Stitch last year.
• Liberty: hmmmm....I'm really not sure. the costumes are awesome but none of em are well...me..(gets an idea) okay, Van told me that when he is writing something, he just starts writing down ideas until one sticks. so you guys can take turn saying costume ideas and I’ll see which one I like! van can make me the costume if we don’t own it already so anything goes!

Story 3: The Halloween Spooky Story Contest

• (The Thunderbolts and the Kamen Rider Club Z are telling spooky stories. Then, it was Courtney’s turn to tell a story)
• Eclipse: Come on, Courtney. Tell us a story about monsters and ghosts and things that go shopping in the night!
• Courtney: Well, I thought I would tell a story of my own. A story about a scientist!
• Eclipse: A mad scientist? Like Dr. Von Frankenstein?
• Courtney: Yeah... And I was there as a subject of the experiment...
• Trip: please it’s gonna take A LOT more to scare me
• Eclipse: Yeah. Instead of being the subject of the experiment, you should be the scientist.
• Courtney: Okay. Whatever you say.
• (The story begins in the daytime)
• Courtney: *narrates* Once upon a Time...
• Eclipse: *voiceover* Wait a minute! It’s the middle of broad daylight. It should only happen at night.
• (The moon comes out)
• Courtney: *voiceover* But, this story happens in the daytime.
• (The sun comes out)
• Eclipse: Night!
• Courtney: Day!
• Eclipse: Night!
• Courtney: Day!
• Eclipse: Morning!
• Courtney: Evening!
• (The moon was out)
• Courtney: Aw man....
• Eclipse: *voiceover* That’s better. Though a nice thunderstorm would be good.
• Courtney: *voiceover* Yes, well... As I was saying... There was a brilliant scientist working on her latest experiment.
• Dr. Von Courtney: At last, I, Dr. Von Courtney, will be the greatest scientist to go down in history! But, first... how about a little snack?
• (She about to eat a sandwich until...)
• Eclipse: Aw geez...
• (Dr. Von Courtney gets startled and hides under the table)
• Dr. Von Courtney: What? What is it?
• Eclipse: *voiceover* This story needs something. If you’re gonna have a story about a scientist, at least you gotta be doing something terrible!! Like creating a very scary monster!!
• Dr. Von Courtney: A M-M-M-M-Monster?!?!
• Eclipse: *voiceover* Yeah! The monster Frankencat!
• (The monster underneath the cover, sits up on the table)
• Dr. Von Courtney: *dubbed as Piglet* Oh d-d-d-d-dear!
• (The monster reveals that it was Thunder the Cat)
• Eclipse: *voiceover* Ha, ha! Absolutely perfect! But, he oughta be a little bit bigger than that.
• (Thunder grows big)
• Eclipse: *voiceover* No, even bigger. Biggerer!
• Thunder: Uh oh!
• (Thunder was as big as a giant)
• Eclipse: *voiceover* Now, that’s what I call a monster!
• Dr. Von Courtney: *runs around* Oh, help! S-save me! H-help me! Oh, save me! Oh dear… This is very terrifying! *runs for cover*
• Thunder: Well, might as well take a look around. *goes out towards the village*

Story 4: Watching Marvel’s What If...?: Zombies?!

• (At the Ride Tower, Courtney has gotten so many movie snacks like popcorn, candy, and drinks because she was gonna watch a scary Halloween cartoon with her friends; Eclipse and Little Betty who were waiting on the couch in front of the TV)

• Eclipse: I am!
• Little Betty: Ditto!
• Courtney: Okay! Let’s do this! *grabs the TV remote, selects Disney Plus and selects Episode 5: What If... Zombies?!*

• Van: (comes in and sits down with them) perfect! just in time! did I miss anything?
• Courtney: Nope. We’re just about to get to the zombies appearing through a portal.
• (Tony Stark reveals to be a zombie after the fight)
• Bruce Banner: Whoa!
• Tony Stark: *growls*
• (Dr. Strange and Wong reveal to be zombies as well)
• Bruce Banner: It’s... *steps back* Oh.
• Courtney: Run, Bruce! Run!
• (Zombie Tony was about to fire at Bruce)
• Bruce: I can’t believe it…!
• (Dr. Strange’s cape fights with the zombies to defend Bruce)
• Eclipse: This doesn’t make any sense. How did Stark, Strange, and Wong end up like this?
• Courtney: You’ll see… Oh! It’s coming up now!
• The Watcher: Like too many great catastrophes, this one sprang from a place of love and hope.
• (The scene changes to a ship flying into the Quantum Realm)

• The Watcher: Alas, Hope Van Dyne’s long-awaited family reunion was not to be.
• Hope: *wipes the ship window off* Mom?

School of Friendship Scares

• (Elfilin was looking around for Courtney with a reformed Carla Delgado on the grounds of the School of Friendship at night)
• Courtney: *calls like a monkey from the top of the School of Friendship tower and laughs*
• Elfilin: Big sis!
• Carla: Careful, Courtney. That looks dangerous.
• Courtney: No, it’s not- *screams after falling off the top of the tower*

• Carla: *tosses her fur coat and Pup Tag to Courtney*
• Courtney: Thank you. *has her fur coat and Pup Tag back on as she sighs* Much better! *sees Zak holding a mannequin head and the arm* What’s with all the lady parts?
• Zak: Oh! I’m gonna turn it into a zombie witch and bring it to Toontown for the Halloween festival!
• Courtney: If you make it scary enough, you might get into the Nightmare Society. *to Carla and Elfilin* That’s a top secret underground group of people who pulled off epic scares on Halloween.
• Zak: Courtney, the Nightmare Society is just a myth. It probably doesn’t even exist.
• Courtney: True on that.
• Victor: *walks up from behind*
• Courtney: ...! *screams in fear as she jumps up and holds onto the Ride Tower drainpipe to see Victor Delgado down below*
• Victor: Sorry, princess. Sorry.

• Courtney: Cruz! Vestia! Welcome to Equestria!
• Vestia: Thanks for having us here. I can’t wait to learn more about Halloween.
• Courtney: Yeah! I can’t wait to show you all there is to know about Halloween. Not to mention, this will be Elfilin’s first Halloween since becoming a member of our team and our family.
• (Suddenly, they heard a loud noise coming from inside the School of Friendship!)
• Courtney: What was that?!
• Zak: It came from inside the School of Friendship! But, the students are asleep at night. Who or what could be making that noise?
• Courtney: Let’s go check it out. Follow me!
• (Victor, Carla, Cruz, and Vestia follow Zak, Courtney, and Elfilin as they enter through the front door of the school)
• Courtney: *peeks her head in through the door* Hello? Anyone here?
• (Zak, Elfilin, Victor, Carla, Cruz, and Vestia peek inside along with Courtney)
• Cruz: Looks deserted...
• (Zak and Courtney turn on their flashlights and look around for anything suspicious as the group follows them)
• Courtney: Man... I’m suddenly getting Scooby Doo vibes...
• Elfilin: *riding on Courtney’s head as he whimpers in fear*
• Zak: Ditto! *to Victor, Carla, Cruz, and Vestia* Stay close, we don’t wanna get lost.
• (Unknown to them, the Young Six along with Van and the Kamen Rider Club Z have made a haunted house in the School of Friendship)
• Smolder: *has a Pyukumuku tied onto a fishing rod as she snickers quietly and whispers* This is gonna be classic! *to Gallus and Silverstream on the communicator, quietly* Deploy the dry ice!
• Gallus: Copy that!
• Silverstream: You got it!
• (Gallus and Silverstream pour water into the tub full of dry ice to create spooky fog)
• Courtney: What the-?! Where did this fog come from?
• (Suddenly, Courtney felt the Pyukumuku touch her, thinking that something slimy was touching her)
• Courtney: *screams in fear and climbs up a pillar*
• Zak: What is it, Courts?
• Courtney: Something slimy touched me…!
• Zak: It was probably nothing. Now, get down before you get hurt.
• Courtney: Okay. *gets down*
• (Smolder takes out a tape recorder and plays the lines of the Ghost Host from the Haunted Mansion)
• Ghost Host: When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still— that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!
• Courtney: Hey, I know that voice!
• Vestia: You do?
• Courtney: Yeah. It’s the Ghost Host from the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland!
• Zak: But, why is he inside of the School of Friendship?
• (Some doors open up all of a sudden!)
• Courtney: Whoa! *jumps into Zak’s arms in fear* Where did that come from?!
• Zak: I don’t know but there’s something strange going on… Let’s go in! *goes inside with Courtney and Elfilin*
• Cruz: I was afraid you’d say that… *goes inside with Victor, Carla, and Vestia*
• (They enter to see portraits of people)
• Ghost Host: Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host, your ghost host. Kindly, step all the way in please, and make room for everyone.
• (The doors close behind them)
• Ghost Host: There’s no turning back now. Our tour begins here in this gallery, where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state.
• (The room starts stretching)
• Cruz: Uh, guys? Is it just me or are these paintings stretching?
• Courtney: Nope, you’re not imagining things.
• Ghost Host: Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this haunted room actually stretching? Or is it your imagination — hmm? And consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows and no doors… which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out! Of course, there’s always my way.
• (The lights go out as lightning strikes and thunder sounds. There was a skeleton hanging by his neck and the group screams in fear after seeing this)
• Ghost Host: Oh, I didn’t mean to frighten you prematurely. The real chills come later. Now, as they say, “look alive,” and we’ll continue our little tour. And let’s all stay together, please.
• (The doors open as the group exits the room and into a hallway with paintings)
• Ghost Host: There are several prominent ghosts who have retired here from creepy old crypts all over the world. Actually, we have 999 happy haunts here — but there’s room for 1,000. Any volunteers? *laughs* If you insist on lagging behind, you may not need to volunteer.

Driven to Fears

• (van is sitting in the driver's seat of the tridoron, shinosuke in the the passenger seat and Courtney in the back passenger seat with eclipse. mr. belt is as usual plugged into the dash board of the tridoron)
• Van: o-okay I’ve got this...I-I can do this (he says belting up) its just a quick drive around the block, doing the 3 point turn and parallel park, what’s to be afraid of? I’ll absolutely be able to get my license by halloween!
• Courtney: Remember, Van. Just breathe. You can do this.
• Van: r-right o-okay! (puts on turn signal) wait no wait! I’m supposed to look at the mirrors first and over my shoulder before I pull out! (turns off turn signal and looks up at the rear view mirror) ya know maybe I should just adjust this quick (he says as he adjusts the mirror clearly stalling)
• Courtney: Oh boy....
• Van: hmmmm say are the windows dirty to maybe we should get em cleaned I’ll be right back (he says getting out of the car and bolting)
• Shinosuke: oooooookay, that is not like him. he was fine when we practiced earlier.
• Courtney: Yeah. What’s gotten into him? I’d better go find him. *gets out and searches for Van*
• (Meanwhile in riddle's room at the ride tower, van is trying a variety of nerve calming teas riddle has laid out, unfortunately none are having an effect on him)
• riddle: okay try this one. earl grey always helps me relax
• Van: *takes a sip but still finds himself jittery* gah what is wrong with me riddle? I've been driving perfectly fine the past few weeks but now that the test is getting closer, when I get behind the wheel I get all...well...like this!
• Riddle: classic case of test anxiety, it’s perfectly normal
• van: No. If it were normal anxiety, this would be working! this must be like...super anxiety or something! My love Sue suggested meditation but I kept shaking like a leaf through out the whole thing! Jade suggested a nap, but I kept having stress dreams! Even sparring with geiz did nothing for me! and we ALWAYS have fun sparring together!
• Courtney: Van?
• van: hey Courtney...sorry about earlier...that was so embarrassing...
• Courtney: Hey, it’s okay. I understand how nervous you can get.
• Van: its just so humiliating that im 22 and I still dont have my license. and ive fought an evil version of myself, a homicidal satellite, an evil story overlord, and my rogue evil inner demon (who is now his own person) as well as an evil demon lord! and yet my greatest fear is a stupid driving test
• Courtney: I might have a solution. Garnet and I use this technique to calm ourselves and reflect.
• Van: really? what is it? at this point I’ll try anything!
• Courtney: Just take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust.
• Van: flexibility...love...and trust...(takes a deep breath) yeah, I think its working.
• Courtney: Good. Now, clear your mind.

Costume fun!

• Courtney: *laughs as she takes the mask off* Gotcha! *laughs, dubbed as Amethyst* Oh man! I totally got you. You should’ve seen the look on your face! Oh wait. I can show you your face! *mimics their scared expressions*
• Zak: What are you doing in that trunk, Courts?
• Courtney: I’m having some fun with the costumes in here.
• Elfilin: *looks in the costume trunk* Cool!

Carving pumpkins

• (Courtney, Eclipse, and Little Betty are pulling a wagon filled with pumpkins that they got from the pumpkin patch)
• Courtney: We’re almost there! We’re not far away from the Ride Tower.

• Little Betty: Me too!

• Eclipse, Little Betty, Elfilin, and Zak: Carla!
• Courtney: Glad to see you here! Why are you in your malvago robe? Uh oh… Please don’t tell me you’re reverting back to your evil ways.
• Carla: What? No! I would never go back to my evil ways. It’s just a costume.
• Courtney: *sighs in relief* Phew… For a moment there, I thought you were gonna be evil again…

• Van: (to Ciela) Oh cool! gotta say I wasn’t expecting to meet you so soon. I was planning on taking a trip to avalor with my team.
• Ciela: Trust me. It’s beautiful in Avalor and our home realm of Vallestrella is beautiful too.
• Van: I can’t wait to see it! though I will admit the reason it was taking so long was because I’ve been busy finally getting my driver's license. which I finally got btw ^^
• Ciela: Congratulations, Van! I’m so happy for you! Now, let’s have some fun!
• Van: thanks! and alright let’s go!
• (meanwhile from the shadows kamen rider punkjack was spying and recording data on van, courtney, the young six, blue, and....Ciela. all being relayed back to the game master and tsumuri in the desire hall)

• Ciela: *giggles*
• Courtney: Alright, alright, guys. Let’s bob for apples.
• (They gather around to watch Courtney)
• Courtney: *puts her paws behind her back* Okay. This is how you do it. First, you have to dunk your head into the tub of water and then grab an apple with your mouth. You’re not allowed to use your hands. That’s against the rules.
• Gallus: Yeah, you should be good at this, Princess Courtney. You have the perfect mouth for it.
• Van: yup!
• (at the same time van looks up and catches a glimpse of punkjack before rubbing his eyes and punkjack disappears. disregarding it, van watches the apple bobbing)
• Courtney: *takes a deep breath and dunks her head into the water as she comes up with an apple in her mouth but Amaru comes up after biting her apple, muffled* Hey! That’s my apple!

Story 6: Courtney and the Sy-Fy Fleegle

• (Courtney was going around playing pranks on her friends until Zak was relaxing with the rest of the Thunderbolts, Teams CRWBY and JNR, Oscar, and the Kamen Rider Club Z)
• Zak: Gosh. Sure is a nice night…
• (A dog shaped figure was hiding behind some cans of food as one can falls to the ground catching Smolder’s attention)
• Smolder: It sure is a nice night. *gestures to the dog shaped figure*
• Zak: *chuckles* I sure hope Courtney isn’t waiting around anywhere to scare me. ‘Cause I’ll freak out.
• Courtney: *jumps out from behind Zak and roars*
• Zak: *screams and crashes into the food cans and the figure behind them was just a cardboard cutout as he pants heavily in fear*
• Everyone: *laughs*
• Yang: If only you reacted faster than that.
• Courtney: Oh, Zak. *goes over to Zak as Ruby helps him up* You look like you just seen, Sy-Fy Fleegle!
• ???: COURTNEY!
• (They turn to see Sergeant Calhoun)
• Sergeant Calhoun: Don’t mock Sy-Fy Fleegle!
• Ruby: Who is Sy-Fy Fleegle?
• (The record player stops)
• Sergeant Calhoun: *comes up* Sy-Fy Fleegle is a murderous animatronic who was reprogrammed by a backstage mechanic.
• Courtney: *to her big brother and sisters* Aw, don’t be too scared, guys. It ain’t real.
• Sergeant Calhoun: IT IS REAL!
• (They were in shock and awe)
• Sergeant Calhoun: It all started when the CEO of their stage studio announced that he was going to cancel their show for his own selfish reasons… And because of this, the animatronics started going on a murdering spree in order to keep their show going. So, remember… You must always be on guard on your way home… He could be anywhere… Well, good night!
• Smolder: Phew… I’m bushed. Good night!
• Everyone except Courtney: Good night!
• (They head to their beds and turn off the lights)
• Courtney: Uh… good night!
• (The rest of the lights turn off and Courtney was all alone in the dark. She was using a flashlight to see where she is going as she makes her way back to the Ride Tower)
• Courtney: *sings "Behind the Clouds", nervously* Behind the Clouds… The sun is s-s-s-shinin’… Believe me even though you can’t quite make it out… *hears a noise and gasps*
• (There was an alligator figure!)
• Courtney: *points her flashlight at the alligator figure* Oh! Oh!
• (It was only a bunch of spare parts made to look like an alligator)
• Courtney: *gets inside the tower, quickly and locks the door* Phew… That was close… As long as I’m inside the Ride Tower, I’m safe.
• (Unknown to her, she heard a certain laugh and looks behind her to see a dog animatronic with a single glowing red eye!)
• Courtney: *gasps in horror* SY-FY FLEEGLE!!! *screams and runs out of the Ride Tower*
• (Zak and Ruby come out and low five each other while smirking)
• Courtney: *screams in fear and keeps on running unaware that it’s the head piece of Eclipse’s Sy-Fy Fleegle costume* Sy-Fy Fleegle’s right behind me! *screams*
• (The head piece swings in front of Courtney)
• Courtney: Now, he’s in front of me! *runs for it* He’s right on my tail!
• (Some Thunderbolts members and others watch this)
• Courtney: *screams in fear as she keeps running* Sy-Fy Fleegle’s gonna kill me!!
• Gallus: Uh, let me know how it turns out.
• Trip: Make that two.
• (Gallus and Trip leave the scene. A few hours later, Courtney was exhausted from running)
• Courtney: *pants heavily* Sy-Fy Fleegle’s gonna get me… This is the end for me… *notices something about this* Huh? *sees that it’s the head piece of Eclipse’s Sy-Fy Fleegle costume* Hey, wait a minute!
• Everyone: *laughs*
• Zak: Gotcha!
• Courtney: Shoot! *puts the head piece down* I knew it was a joke the whole time.
• Ruby: You see, sis. The only thing to be scared of out here is your imagination.
• Sergeant Calhoun: Yep, that and of course, the Screamin Banshee. Welp, good night!
• Everyone except Courtney: Good night!

Story 7: The Tale of the Bloodmoon Beast

• (Everyone was in the living room of the Ride Tower, telling spooky folktales about spirits and other spooky things)
• Eclipse: Okay, Courtney. It’s your turn! Do you have any folktales you wanna tell us?
• Courtney: Hmm… *snaps her finger* I got it! This is from another folktale that I learned from a photographer in the land of Kitakami. It’s called "The Tale of the Bloodmoon Beast".
• Van: kitakami? you mean that place we visited with the naranja and uva academies?
• Courtney: Correct! The Bloodmoon Beast is actually an Ursaluna. But, this Ursaluna has a red moon mark as seen through a veil of blood. That’s why it’s called the Bloodmoon Beast. It somehow crossed the waters from the Hisui region to get to Kitakami. It is said that this beast lies in the Timeless Woods northeast of Oni Mountain. They say that this beast only comes out on dark, foggy nights. So, watch out. The person standing right next to you could be the beast. Not that I believe in such silliness. *chuckles*
• Ruby: *sneaks up behind her little sister* Boo!
• Courtney: *screams in fear and jumps into Ruby’s arms*
• Van: well ya know what it sounds like to me? an adventure! I wanna catch all the Pokémon in kitakami like I did in paldea! so let’s track it down! we can add it to our Pokédex!
• Courtney: *jumps out of her big sister’s arms* Then, what are we waiting for? An invitation? Let’s go!
• Blake: *approaches Courtney and Ruby along with Yang and Weiss* Not so fast, Courtney. We’re coming with you and Van. There’s no way we’re not gonna let you go find that Bloodmoon Beast all by yourselves.
• Weiss: And we also made a promise to your mother and Aunt Luna that we’d look after you and protect you from harm.
• Courtney: Okay. *to Van* Can my big sisters come too?
• Van: totally! you don’t even have to ask! I'm actually inviting tulin to! his hunting skills should come in handy!
• Tulin: Yeah! I really wanna see this Bloodmoon Beast up close!
• Courtney: Then, let’s go! To the Land of Kitakami!
• (They head to the land of Kitakami and to the Timeless Woods where the Bloodmoon Beast lies)
• Van: (parks the camper in the forest) perfect spot! alright, now from what I’ve seen from cryptid hunting shows from my world (he pulls out a box of cameras) we are gonna need to set up a lot of these!
• Courtney: Right! Let’s do it! *pulls out a map of the Timeless Woods and takes out a red marker* Okay, let’s figure out where we should set up the cameras.
• Van: right, we need to find the hotspots of activity. hmmmmmm. where in the forest have there been sightings?
• Courtney: *gets the photo of the Bloodmoon Ursaluna out on a foggy night while it’s blood moon mark and right eye is glowing* Judging by this photo the photographer gave me, it should be in these areas. *circles a pond, a cave or two, and out in the grassy fields*
• Van: perfect. now lets all buddy up and head out into the forest and set up the cameras at these spots in groups.
• Ruby: I’ll head out into the fields with Weiss and Courtney.
• Yang: Blake and I will set up the cameras in the caves.
• Van: then tulin and I will take the pond!
• Tulin: Alright! Up high, big bro!
• (Van and Tulin high five each other)
• Courtney: Good luck, everyone. *heads out to the grassy fields with Ruby and Weiss to set up the cameras*
• Yang: *heads to one of the caves with Blake to set up the cameras*
• Tulin: Come on, big bro! Let’s go set up the cameras near the pond.
• (They head over to the pond and set up the cameras)
• Van: alright, first things first we need the perfect spot to set this up! hmmmmm...Up that tree looks perfect!
• Tulin: Okay, bro! *flies up and sets up the camera in the tree* Does that look good? Or should I put it up higher?
• Van: its perfect! (takes out his personal pup pad) besides I also brought a few more "toys" for this excursion! (he says pressing a button and summoning his rescue drones from his paw patrol pack on his back)
• Tulin: nice! good call! we can have them patrolling the land, air and sea!
• Van: precisely my fine feathered little bro! nothing is gonna escape our gaze! cryptid hunting rule number 1 always have spare cameras! and trust me (opens his coat to reveal a bunch of cameras and video/audio recorders) I’m loaded!
• Tulin: Whoa!

Story 8: Halloween at Blueberry Academy and Stella’s first Halloween

• (It was Halloween and Ruby’s birthday. In the Central Plaza of the Terarium at Blueberry Academy, Courtney was dressed up as Captain Marvel, Eclipse was dressed as Black Widow, Little Betty was dressed up as Ms. Marvel, Elfilin was dressed up as Sam Wilson a.k.a The Falcon/Captain America, and Zak was dressed as Loki, Thor’s brother)
• Courtney: Aw yeah! Now, we’re rocking in our Marvel Universe costumes. Halloween style!
• Eclipse: Yeah! It sure is a good idea to celebrate Halloween here at Blueberry Academy. Thanks for letting the director do this.
• Courtney: No problem, Eclipse. And I can’t wait to set up my haunted house! I’m gonna try and scare the pants off the students who are gonna come.
• Zak: And don’t forget that we need to get a birthday present for Ruby.
• Courtney: Oh, right! But, I don’t know what to get her…
• Eclipse: Don’t worry, Courtney. You have plenty of time to think of something. Maybe, you could ask Van and the straw hats for help or Kieran, Carmine, and the BB League Elite Four. They might have some ideas for a Halloween birthday present for Ruby.
• Courtney: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s head on over to League Club room. I hope they’re in there.
• Zak: Let’s go!
• (They head on over to the BB League Club room)
• Courtney: *sees Van and the straw hats talking with Kieran, Carmine and the Elite Four as she, Eclipse, Little Betty, Elfilin and Zak head over to them* Hey, guys!
• Kieran: Hey, Courtney! What’s up?
• Courtney: Nothing much, we just came to talk to you about something important. *looks around for her teammate; Stella* By the way, have any of you seen Stella? I haven’t seen her since we got here.
• Kieran: Stella?
• Tulin: Who’s Stella?
• Yunobo: And what does she look like, goro?
• Courtney: Well, she looks like-
• (Before she could answer, Stella appears behind Courtney)
• Stella: Hi, Courtney!
• Courtney: *screams in fear and jumps into Kieran’s arms as she turns to see her teammate* Stella! There you are! You nearly gave me a heart attack!
• Stella: Sorry, Courtney. I just returned from looking around the school. This place is amazing! I wish my home; Sparkle Theater was like this!

Halloween Frightening Night Fashion Show

• Eclipse: Here’s Little Betty as a mermaid!
• Little Betty: *tries to walk in her costume but keeps on slipping* Whoa, whoa!
• (Meanwhile, Courtney was backstage in her costume as she looks at herself in her handheld makeup mirror and nods meaning that she’s ready as she closes it)
• Eclipse: Trading the shine of the sun for the dark of the moon, it’s Courtney!
• (A cloud of blue smoke comes up on the stage and Courtney appears out of the smoke)
• Courtney: *comes out dressed as Nightmare Moon with her horn and wings painted black as she walks down the runway, menacingly*
• (She spreads her wings out and everyone gasps in awe and wonder)
• Courtney: *waves to the crowd* Hey, everybody!
• (The crowd cheers for Courtney and her brilliant costume)

Clubroom Pumpkin Carving

• (Courtney, Eclipse and Little Betty were on their way to the BB League Clubroom with the biggest pumpkin they got from the pumpkin patch)
• Courtney: *enters the League Clubroom with Eclipse and Little Betty while carrying the huge pumpkin, to Kieran, Carmine, and the BB League Elite Four* Hey, guys! We’ve got the pumpkin from the pumpkin patch!
• Kieran: Whoa! That is one big pumpkin!
• Courtney: *giggles* Thanks, Kieran. Can’t wait to carve this bad boy!
• Eclipse: Let’s put it down somewhere. My back is killing me!
• Courtney: Okay.
• (The girls lay out a huge table cloth on the ground and place the pumpkin down, slowly and gently on the cloth)
• Courtney: Perfect! Now, the awesome part begins! *turns to Eclipse and Little Betty* You got the pumpkin carving tools?
• Eclipse: *gestures to the carving tools beside her* Got ‘em right here!
• Courtney: Alright, let’s do this! *uses the knife to carefully cut the top of the pumpkin and uses her super strength to pull off the top until it pops off* Whoops! *falls on the ground with the pumpkin top in her paw and puts it to the side* Now, to scoop out the pumpkin guts.
• Eclipse: *gets a bowl but it was too small to hold the pumpkin guts in*
• Courtney: We’re gonna need a bigger bowl for the pumpkin guts.
• Little Betty: We can scour the kitchen for a bigger bowl.
• Courtney: Good idea. You guys go to the kitchen to get a bigger bowl and I’ll focus on scooping the pumpkin guts.
• Eclipse: We’ll be back in a flash, Courtney! Come on, Little Betty. Let’s go! *heads off to the kitchen to find a bigger bowl for the pumpkin guts*
• Courtney: *goes back inside the pumpkin and starts scooping the guts off the walls and the bottom of the pumpkin but she was getting all messy in the process*
• Tulin: *enters the clubroom with Van, the straw hats, Team CRWBY and the rest of the sages* Hey, Kieran. What’s going on- *notices the huge pumpkin* Whoa!

• Weiss: *looks around for her little sister* Also, where’s Courtney?
• Luffy: Yeah, where is the kid?
• Courtney: *from inside the pumpkin* In here! *pops out of the pumpkin from the top which surprises Chopper while her paw was covered with pumpkin guts and seeds along with some pumpkin guts on her head* What’s up, gang?
• Brook: That’s what we’d like to know. What are you doing inside that pumpkin?
• Nami: And why are you covered in pumpkin seeds and guts?
• Courtney: I’m making this pumpkin into a jack o’ lantern. I’m busy scooping the guts inside the pumpkin while Eclipse and Little Betty get a bigger bowl to put the guts in. They should be returning with a bigger bowl any moment now.
• Eclipse: *enters the room with Little Betty as they carry in a spare bath tub*
• Courtney: Girls, I said a bigger bowl not a bath tub.
• Little Betty: We couldn’t find any bigger bowls so we had to go searching around for a replacement. That was until Discord showed up. He gave us the suggestion to get a spare bath tub. So, we found one at the Ponyville donation center.
• Courtney: Girls, you know that Discord has some bad ideas. But, I suppose it’s better than nothing. *starts scooping out the guts and throws them in the spare bath tub*
• (Courtney keeps on scooping out the guts until there was none left inside the pumpkin while Eclipse got the pumpkin guts off the pumpkin top and threw them in the spare bathtub)
• Eclipse: How’s it going in there, Courts?
• Courtney: Got all of it out! Now, the fun part begins! *gets out of the pumpkin and shakes herself off to get all the pumpkin guts and seeds out of her fur*
• Eclipse: Which design should we do? Courtney did Praxina’s face a few years ago but let’s do something different!
• Courtney: How about a Gengar?
• Little Betty: Oooh, that sounds spooky!
• Eclipse: Right! Let’s do it!
• (The three pups all work together to create a Gengar on the front of the pumpkin with Eclipse and Little Betty holding the pumpkin still while Courtney carved out a Gengar in the front of the pumpkin using one of her sharp claws)

Courtney’s Haunted House

• (Courtney was in a classroom in her Dr. Von Courtney costume, setting up some decorations for a haunted house like cobwebs, fake spiders, and all sorts of scary things)
• Courtney: *snickers* This is gonna be classic! I can’t wait to scare the pants off my friends and my big sisters. *to Eclipse and Little Betty* You guys ready?
• Eclipse: *calls out from the other room* We’re ready!
• (Little Betty was dressed as Frankenstein’s assistant; Igor and Eclipse was dressed as Frankenstein’s monster)
• Courtney: Perfect! Now, we’ve got a haunted house! Let’s get to rehearsing.
• (They start rehearsing their skit for the haunted house)
• Courtney: At last, my greatest creation will be completed! Igor! Raise the platform!
• Little Betty: Yes, master. *grabs the chains and raises the platform*
• (Eclipse was lying down and holding still underneath the cover as the stage sound and light effects of thunder and lightning were being played)
• Courtney: Yes… Yes… That’s enough! Lower it, Igor!
• Little Betty: Yes, master. *grabs the chains and lowers the platform*

Spooky Arts and crafts

• (Courtney was making some spooky Halloween art projects in the BB League Clubroom)
• Courtney: *uses a pair of scissors to cut out some black paper bat dolls*

The Blueberry Academy costume contest

• Tulin: *pacing around in the hallway and stops in front of Courtney’s dorm room* Come on, Courtney! Hurry up! We’re gonna be late for the costume contest!
• Luffy: Yeah, I’m starting to get anxious here!
• Courtney: *comes out of her dorm room, dressed as Dark Magician Girl*
• Tulin: Aren’t you that fairy from the Great Fairy fountain back in Hyrule?
• Courtney: *rolls her eyes* I’m Dark Magician Girl!
• Luffy: *scratches his head in confusion* Who?
• Courtney: The apprentice to Yugi’s ace; Dark Magician?
• (They stood there all confused)
• Courtney: Haven’t you two ever read about this in the Duel Monsters history books?

Story 9: Nightmares of King Magnifico

• (It has been a few months since King Magnifico was imprisoned in his own staff gem. Zak was busy doing some yard work by raking the leaves)
• Zak: *hums while raking the leaves into the pile until he heard some birds singing*
• Courtney: *looks at the birds singing that are being conducted by Fluttershy*
• Zak: *sees Courtney watching Fluttershy conduct her bird choir and thinks to himself* What’s Courtney doing with Fluttershy? Not to mention that Courtney looks a bit tired…
• (One bird was singing solo and not following along with the rest of the birds)
• Fluttershy: Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three-
• Zak: Hey, guys!
• Fluttershy and Courtney: *yelps in surprise after hearing Zak*
• (The birds get scared and fly off after they heard Zak call out to his friends)
• Zak: Sorry, Fluttershy. I didn’t mean to scare off your birds.
• Fluttershy: Oh. No, it’s okay, Zak.
• Courtney: Yeah, no harm done. I asked Fluttershy if she could ask her bird friends to sing a song to distract me from… *looks to her left with her ears dropping down*
• Zak: From what? Wait, let me guess. It’s about those nightmares. The ones about King Magnifico?
• Courtney: *nods yes* Uh-huh…
• Zak: Courtney, it’s been a few months since that incident in the Kingdom of Rosas. King Magnifico is trapped in the gem from his staff and locked away in the dungeon.
• Courtney: I know… But, I have a bad feeling that he’s gonna come back and get my magic… *whimpers and cries*
• Zak: Hey, hey, it’s okay. You’re safe. I promise. *hugs Courtney* I promise…
• Courtney: Thanks, Zak… I hope I don’t have any nightmares tonight just like the last few nights…
• Zak: Don’t worry, sis. Maybe, we can sleep with you tonight. And I think I know someone who might help with those nightmares of yours.
• Courtney: Let me guess, you’re talking about my aunt. Right?
• Zak: Yep. Princess Luna.
• (Later on that night…)
• Courtney: *fluffs up her pillows and straightens out her blankets on her bed* Perfect! *turns to Zak* How are the sleeping bags going, Zak?
• Zak: *spreading out the sleeping bags on the floor* Almost ready, Courtney! And your Aunt Luna said that she’s gonna be here soon.
• Courtney: Wonderful!
• Zak: And I also invited a few more friends to join us tonight.
• Courtney: Really? Who?
• (Team CRWBY, Van, the sages, and the straw hat pirates arrive)
• Ruby: Hey, sis!
• Courtney: Ruby! Yang! Weiss! Blake!
• Yang: Surprised to see us?
• Courtney: Yep! *turns to Van and the others* Van! Tulin! Yunobo! Riju! Sidon! And the straw hats! It’s so nice to see you guys!
• Tulin: It’s nice to see you too, Courtney!
• Courtney: I wonder what’s taking Aunt Luna so long…
• ???: You must not worry so much, my dear young niece.
• Courtney: *sees her aunt; Princess Luna!* Aunt Luna! *runs over and hugs her aunt*
• Princess Luna: It’s so good to see you again, Courtney. Your brother told me that you’ve been having nightmares about that traitorous king that almost destroyed Rosas, is this true?
• Courtney: *nods yes* Uh-huh. They just don’t seem to go away… I’m afraid that he’s gonna come back and get my magic…
• Zak: Which is why I asked you to come and help her.
• Princess Luna: I see. Very well then, I shall help with Courtney’s nightmares of this traitorous king.
• Zak: Thank you, Princess Luna.
• Blake: Now, let’s get Courtney to bed. It’s late for her. *tucks Courtney into bed*
• Courtney: *yawns* Goodnight, guys…
• Blake: Goodnight, Courtney. Lights out, everyone. *turns off the light*
• (Everyone goes to sleep except Princess Luna who uses her magic to go into Courtney’s dreams. Inside her dreams, she was all alone in a dark forest as a strong wind blows)
• Courtney: *covers her face from the wind*
• (Suddenly, she gets grabbed by some dark magic)
• Courtney: Agh!!
• King Magnifico: *using his staff to restrain Courtney* Hello, princess. What a coincidence running into you.
• Courtney: Magnifico! *tries to get free* Release me!
• King Magnifico: I don’t think so. You have something that I need to regain my rightful place as king and take revenge on Asha for ruining what I’ve built!
• Courtney: You can’t have my magic! I refuse to give it to you! Also, those wishes didn’t belong to you in the first place! The people of Rosas deserve to have them back! They all did!
• King Magnifico: I told you before! I decide what they deserve!
• Courtney: *her eyes narrow at him* Oh, you’re one to talk! You sound just like my mentor; Starlight Glimmer before she reformed!
• King Magnifico: Oh, oh, so that’s how you wanna play it. Huh, little missy? *sinisterly* Well, we’ll settle this one way… or another…
• Courtney: Uh oh… *her ears drop back in fear, regretting of saying those words to him* Me and my big mouth…
• Princess Luna: Release my niece at once, you fiend! *uses her magic to blast the staff in order to free Courtney*
• Courtney: *grunts after she falls to the ground as she sees Princess Luna* Aunt Luna!
• King Magnifico: Well, if it isn’t the princess of the night! How nice of you to drop by.
• Princess Luna: *has her magic ready* Courtney, go find a place to hide! I’ll take care of Magnifico!
• Courtney: *nods yes and runs off to go find a place to hide* Be careful, Aunt Luna! *hides behind a fallen tree and watches the battle between her aunt and King Magnifico*
• (The battle was fierce as Courtney was watching this, terrified for her aunt’s safety)
• Courtney: I gotta do something. But, what? Magnifico is too powerful!

Story 10: Courtney and Bakura’s Shadow Duel

• Ryo Bakura: *to Zak* I must say, Zak. Your little sister is beautiful. You raised her very well, just look at the shine in her coat.
• Courtney: *growls defensively with her claws out, cautious around Ryo*
• Ryo Bakura: *kneels down to her height and reaches his hand out to her* I must say, you’re a natural beauty.
• Courtney: *growls angrily and swipes her claws at him*
• Ryo Bakura: *pulls his hand back to avoid getting scratched by her after she swiped her claws at him* Whoa!
• Zak: Courtney! Why’d you do that for?! *to Bakura* I’m so sorry! Courtney is usually friendly around others.
• Ryo Bakura: Don’t worry, It’s okay. *looks at her*
• (The spirit of the Millennium Ring was talking in Bakura’s mind)
• Yami Bakura (voice): Your brother is a fool. He has no idea that I have a much bigger plan to help me possess all the Millennium Items…
• Courtney: *glaring at him, sensing that he was lying* Excuse me. *walks off*
• Zak: Courtney! *skeptical about her behavior* Now, what was that all about?
• Ryo Bakura: Maybe, she needs some time to herself.
• (Courtney heads to her room and closes the door as she paces around which concerns Elfilin)
• Courtney: This ain’t good, Elfilin… Bakura is definitely not telling the truth!
• Elfilin: How could you be so sure?
• Courtney: When he looked at me, I sensed that he was lying. He must have some sort of master plan to use me as a leverage against Yugi. So, he can get his Millennium Puzzle. But, one thing I know for sure is that we’re not safe around Bakura.
• Elfilin: Then, what’ll we do, big sister? Shouldn’t we tell Zak and the others?
• Courtney: *opens a drawer from her dresser* No, I don’t think they’ll believe us. *takes out a duel monster card that was in a plastic name tag and attached to a lanyard* The best thing we could do is get out of here. *puts the lanyard around her neck* We need to take what we can and flee. I don’t know where we’ll go but if it’s far away from Bakura, so be it. Now, go pack your things. We’ve got a long journey ahead of us.
• Elfilin: Right! *goes to pack his things*
• Courtney: *writes down a note for Zak and the others to explain why she and Elfilin are leaving: to get away from Bakura as she puts the note down on her bed* Are you ready, Elfilin? *has all her things packed*
• Elfilin: *has all his things packed* All set, big sister!
• Courtney: Good, then let’s go! It’s just the two of us now. *opens her bedroom window and activates her alicorn magic to fly off with her little brother*
• (They flew for a few hours until they set up a fire together in the Everfree Forest)
• Elfilin: *sitting by the fire while laying right by Courtney, scared of all the noises echoing throughout the Everfree Forest* Big sis, I wanna go home…
• Courtney: *lying down while looking at the fire* We can’t go back, Elfilin… Not while Bakura is there… If we return home, he’ll send our minds to the Shadow Realm with the power of his Millennium Ring… And I don’t wanna risk that happening… I don’t know where else we can go. It won’t be long now until Bakura finds us… And we can’t stay with Iris, Mischa, Jessa, or any of our other friends. We can’t risk putting them in danger… I don’t want Bakura to send their minds to the Shadow Realm…
• Elfilin: Big sister, if I may ask… What’s the Shadow Realm?
• Courtney: The Shadow Realm is an alleged place of suffering where people are sent to… Jaden told me about the time when Yugi and his friends were sent there during the Duelist Kingdom Tournament. They were trapped in their favorite duel monster cards and the spirit of the Pharaoh from Yugi’s Millennium Puzzle defeated him and sent him to the graveyard. The second time he came back from the graveyard, he wanted to use Mokuba Kaiba’s body as a vessel to help him in his quest to get all the Millennium Items but Tristan managed to stop him from doing that and he threw the Millennium Ring into the jungle. But, the Millennium Ring managed to come back to Bakura like a boomerang…
• Elfilin: Wow… I never knew that ring could cause so much trouble!
• Courtney: I know… But, I don’t think this is the best place for a camp out. There’s all kinds of creatures out here. *pours a bucket of water over the fire to put it out and gets her things and Elfilin’s things*
• Elfilin: *smells something* Ew, what is that smell?
• Courtney: *sniffs and recognizes that smell* Uh oh… I know that smell anywhere! That’s the smell of…. *sees some glowing eyes in the bushes along with some growling* Run! Now!! *runs for it*
• (There was a pack of Timberwolves after them!)
• Elfilin: *screams while flying after his big sister*
• Courtney: Timberwolves!!! Why is it always Timberwolves?!
• (They keep on running from the Timberwolves until they see the Castle of the Two Sisters!)
• Courtney: The Castle of the Two Sisters! We can hide there! Hurry!! *runs across the bridge with Elfilin flying behind her and enters the castle*
• (They close the doors and hold them shut while banging and snarling were heard from behind them)
• Courtney: Phew! That was close! We were nearly eaten by those guys! *walks further into the castle* Well, here we are! I don’t believe that you’ve haven’t been here before, right?
• Elfilin: No, I don’t think so.
• Courtney: Well, this is where we got the Elements of Harmony and defeated Nightmare Moon. That was WAY before we met you. At least we’ll be safe here from Bakura and those Timberwolves. *yawns* Come on, let’s find a place to sleep.
• Elfilin: Okay. *yawns too and lands on Courtney’s back*
• Courtney: *carries his little brother to the secret chamber in the library*
• (When they got there, Courtney was fluffing up one of the pillows)
• Courtney: *summons in a blanket and lays down on the pillow* Good night, little brother. *yawns and falls asleep*
• (Unknown to them, Bakura was watching from the shadows)
• Yami Bakura: Yes, sleep well, princess… And prepare for a shadow duel unlike any other! *chuckles evilly*
• (The Millennium Ring glows as the place shifts)
• Courtney: *wakes up and yawns as she rubs her eyes* Is it morning already? *sees that Elfilin is missing!* Elfilin?! *looks around for him* Where are you, little brother?
• Elfilin: *trapped in a chain energy from the spell card; Chain Energy that Bakura summoned with his Millennium Ring* Big sis! Help!
• Yami Bakura: So nice of you to wake up and join us, princess.
• Courtney: Bakura! You snake! Let my little brother go!
• Yami Bakura: *chuckles evilly* You ignorant little mongrel, we haven’t even started playing yet. *holds up his deck*
• Courtney: Huh?
• Yami Bakura: If you want this creature you call a little brother, you’ll have to duel me for him.
• Courtney: *puts on her duel disk that has her Blizzard Princess deck* Alright, let’s get this over with. If I win, you release my little brother. No tricks or double crossing! Ya hear me?
• Yami Bakura: *nods in agreement* And if you lose, your soul is mine!
• Courtney: *nods in agreement too* Deal! Alright, Bakura! *activates her duel disk* As my friend; Jaden Yuki always says, it’s time to get your game on!
• Yami Bakura: *chuckles evilly* For such a small princess, you talk a big game. Let the shadow duel begin!
• (They both have 4000 life points)
• Courtney: Alright, ladies first! *draws a card from her deck* I summon Blizzard Princess in attack mode! *puts the card on her duel disk in attack mode*
• (Blizzard Princess was summoned forth)
• Courtney: And since I summoned her, you can’t activate any spell or trap cards for the rest of this turn. Next, I’ll place two cards face down to end my turn.

Story 11: Bakura’s pursuit

• (Marc, Zak, and Anakin were updating the estate’s security system. They were connecting a few wires inside the control panel)
• Zak: *yawns and stretches*
• Anakin: You tired, Zak? You can take a break and rest. Marc and I will take care of the security system.
• Zak: Thanks, guys. *exits the room as he yawns and heads to his room to rest*
• (Unknown to them, a sinister figure broke into the estate to find their pawn for their scheme. They head to Courtney’s room and open the door)
• Marc Clark: Okay, Anakin! We’re all set! *gives him a thumbs up*
• Anakin: Good. Now, let’s restart the system. *presses a button as the security breach alarm goes off!*
• (Everyone especially Team CRWBY in the estate hears the alarm!)
• Anakin: Red alert! Red alert! We have an intruder inside the estate!
• (Meanwhile in Courtney’s room, she wakes up slowly after hearing the alarm and suddenly sees a man who looked familiar to her)
• Courtney: *screams in fear as she sees Yami Bakura!*
• Yami Bakura: Surprise, princess.
• Courtney: *paralyzed with fear as she remembers her shadow duel with Bakura*
• Zak: Courtney! *sees Yami Bakura* Huh? Bakura?!
• Yami Bakura: Stay out of this, mortal! *uses the power of his Millennium Ring to summon the Man Eater Bug*
• Zak: *screams as it comes towards him*
• Anakin: *gets Zak out of the way just in the nick of time and uses his lightsaber to cut the front leg off, destroying in the process*
• Yami Bakura: *about to get his pawn*
• Anakin: Hold it, Bakura! Mind telling me what this is all about?
• (They both clash as Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long show up)
• Ruby: Anakin!
• Weiss: What’s going on?!
• Anakin: *turns to Team CRWBY* Hurry! Grab Courtney and run! *pushes Bakura back*
• Courtney: *peeks out of her room in fear*
• Ruby: *turns to her little sister* Sis! What happened?
• Courtney: *turns to her big sisters* I woke up. Bakura was there, he said something strange to me…
• (Bakura comes forth, menacingly)
• Blake: We gotta get outta here, now!
• Courtney: *activates her alicorn magic, flies up and types on the panel to shutdown the estate* Come on! Let’s go!
• (They head out before the steel door closes down but Bakura manages to break through the steel door with the power of his Millennium Ring. He goes after Team CRWBY, leaving an injured Zak and Anakin behind)
• Ahsoka: *running down a hallway and talks on her communicator* Master! Can you hear me? What’s going on?!
• Elfilin: *in the medical room with some of the members* Anakin and Zak got hurt in a fight with Bakura! They’ll be okay but it’ll take some time for them to recover.
• Ahsoka: Why were they fighting?
• Elfilin: It’s very confusing! For some strange reason, Bakura was trying to abduct Courtney!
• Ahsoka: Courtney was right all along! I knew there was something off about him!
• Twilight: *pushes Elfilin aside* Don’t even think about trying to go after Bakura! Find Courtney and Team CRWBY and make sure they’re safe! That’s an order!
• Ahsoka: I know what I’m doing, Twilight! No one else will be safe inside the estate until we stop him!
• (Meanwhile, Bakura was looking around for Team CRWBY until he uses a device to help him hack into the estate’s security system)
• Bakura’s gadget: Accessing estate’s internal sensors, five heat signatures detected. Stand by for visual.
• (Courtney was typing on a security panel)
• Ruby: What are you doing, sis?
• Courtney: If Bakura has access to our computer, he can use the internal sensors to track us. I have to block him from accessing the data. *presses a button* There! That should do it!
• (Bakura’s gadget shows static as it shuts off)
• Courtney: I think it worked! Come on! *removes a grate from the ceiling and goes into the ventilation system as her big sisters follow her*
• (They crawl through the ventilation system in order to avoid getting spotted)
• Courtney: Why is Bakura after me?
• Ruby: Maybe, Ash Delgado, Mephisto and Praxina sent him to get you. It’s even possible that he’s working for Salem and her inner circle.
• Courtney: *gasps in fear* Salem?!
• Ruby: But, we don’t want you to worry, sis. It doesn’t matter who sent him. I promise you that everything is going to be okay.
• Yang: And if Bakura tries to get you, he’ll have to answer to us first!
• Courtney: Thank you… I’m so lucky to have you four.
• (They exit the ventilation system and made it outside the estate)
• Courtney: *looks around and sees that it’s safe* The coast is clear, guys! Come on down!
• (Team CRWBY exits the ventilation system)
• Courtney: Come on, guys! To one of the hangers, now!
• (They head over to one of the hangers where one of the private jets are parked)
• Courtney: We’ll be safe once we get away on one of our private jets. *opens the jet door*
• (They all get inside, close the door and lock it)
• Courtney: *heads into the cockpit and starts up the jet* Prepare for takeoff! Hang on, girls! *takes the steering wheel and turns the plane out of the hanger*
• (The private jet exits the hanger and heads out to the runway)
• Courtney: Once I get this bad boy up in the air, we’re home free!
• Yang: Are you sure you can fly this thing?
• Courtney: Positive! *starts up the engine as the plane propellers start spinning*
• (Suddenly, a bright light shines as they cover their eyes)
• Courtney: What’s going on?
• Ruby: *points to something or someone who is front of the jet* Look!
• (Bakura was right in front of the jet!)
• Courtney: No way! How did he find us?!
• Yami Bakura: I have my secrets… Now, turn yourself over to me, princess or else you and your big sisters will be taking a one way trip to the Shadow Realm.
• Courtney: *holding onto the steering wheel, tightly while shaking a bit due to her traumatic experience of dueling him in the Shadow Realm*
• Yami Bakura: I’m warning you. Take your paws off that wheel and come out of there, willingly.
• Courtney: *too scared to even respond while still gripping the steering wheel, tightly*
• Ruby: She’s not going anywhere with you!
• Courtney: Ruby…
• Yami Bakura: Very well then, I’ll take her… BY FORCE!! *draws a card from his deck and uses the power of his Millennium Ring to summon forth the Headless Knight*
• Courtney: Hang on! *turns the plane around towards the other side of the runway*
• (The Headless Knight uses his sword to cut off the propeller and the one of the jet’s landing gear as the plane scratches against the runway)
• Courtney: Abandoned jet! *uses her alicorn magic to teleport herself and her big sisters out of the jet, safely*
• (They teleport near the orchard)
• Courtney: Is everyone okay?
• Ruby: We’re fine, sis.
• Yang: Let’s hope your insurance covers one of your private jets.
• Weiss: That was a pretty gutsy move back there, Courts.
• Courtney: Thanks, Weiss. But, we can’t stop now. Bakura is hot on our trail and he’ll be coming after us like a pack of wolves. We need to keep moving. And I suggest that we use the estate orchard to conceal ourselves from Bakura.
• Blake: And we need cover our tracks too.
• Courtney: But, how?
• Ruby: *sees some bags of leaves* I have an idea! *grabs the bag of leaves and pours it all over the footprints*
• Yang: Good thinking, Rubes!
• Courtney: Now, let’s get going! Hurry! *rushes into the orchard*
• (They follow Courtney deeper into the orchard until they find themselves in an eerie fog)
• Blake: Where did this fog come from?
• Courtney: Wait a minute, I’ve seen this before… The only type of fog you see like this is in… *gasps in realization* Girls, we must turn back! Now!
• Yami Bakura: Too late, princess! There’s no turning back now!
• Courtney: Bakura!
• (Team CRWBY gets in front of Courtney and draw their weapons)
• Ruby: You’re not getting anywhere near her!
• Yami Bakura: *chuckles evilly* You ignorant mortals. You’re no match for me with those pathetic weapons. *uses the spell card; Chain Energy to tie up Team CRWBY*
• (They try to get free)
• Courtney: Ruby! Yang! Weiss! Blake!
• Yami Bakura: Don’t even try, princess! You have nowhere else to run, your big sisters are doomed to wander the Shadow Realm. Unless you come with me. If you refuse, the outcome is not so sweet.
• Courtney: *looks down*
• Yami Bakura: What’s it going to be, princess? Time is running out for your big sisters.
• Ruby: Courtney, don’t!
• Blake: We’re not worth it!
• Courtney: *exhales and looks up at him*
• Yami Bakura: Well?
• Courtney: I surrender. *lays down* I’m all yours, Bakura.
• (They gasp in shock after hearing this)
• Yami Bakura: You have made a wise decision.
• Courtney: But, I want some assurances first! And if you fail to agree with them, I won’t go with you.
• Yami Bakura: And what are these assurances that you have?
• Courtney: If I go with you, you must promise to leave my family alone and release my big sisters from the Shadow Realm!
• Yami Bakura: *bows to her* My dear, you have my word. But, are you sure this is what you want? Because if you agree to this, there’s no going back.
• Ruby: Courtney, you can’t do this!
• Courtney: I have no choice, Ruby. I can’t afford to lose you guys!
• (Bakura uses the Millennium Ring to return all of them to the mortal world)
• Yami Bakura: Now, for you. *grabs Courtney and holds her in his arm*
• Courtney: *yelps in fear*
• Blake: Courtney!
• Yang: I swear, if you touch one piece of fur on her head…!
• Yami Bakura: Calm yourself, I won’t hurt this little one. As long as you don’t try and take her back! ‘Cause if you do, our deal is off!
• Courtney: *tries to get out of his grip*
• Yami Bakura: Stop squirming, little one. I’d hate to drop you.
