It was thirteen nights later. Halloween night.
Shadow and KC stood on the roof of FE Manor. The undead Von Paulus was now gargantuan and had unlimited power. Curtis lay unconscious on the slope of the roof, as the souls of the fallen eleven comrades formed in front of the living two. The rain and wind continued to pound down on the roof.
"ONE OF YOU MUST DEFEAT HIM!" Lamps yelled out as he dumped out his candy. He threw some to KC and some to Shadow. Nearly an even split.
Boc looked into his bag and was severely disappointed. "Uh...SORRY!" he shouted before dashing off.
Matt was still biter, but he covered it with a smile. Was he possessed, or going crazy? No one knew. He gave the lion share of his candy to Shadow before vanishing.
"I can't decide..." began Bryce. "Just split it..."
Kiwi forced the two to beg for his candy.
"YAW YAW!" Vernon shouted. "THAT'S THE WAY KIWI, MAKE THEM WORK!!!"
"-1 Vern." responded Shadow.
"NAW !!!!!!! FUCK YOU!!" Frakenvern looked over his colossal pile of candy angrily and shoved it towards one of the two. He pet his pet demon/dragon and floated off.
"AM DECIDE NOW........LUCK 2 ALL!" Zersch shouted. Natalie split hers up the best she could before following Zersch out.
The eleven were gone, leaving only KC, Shadow, and Paul. The two gathered up the candy they had earned and began consuming them as fast as possible.
Paul looked down and snarled. "HA! I PITY YOU TWO. I REALLY DO."
He shot his hand out, releasing a gust of fog towards KC and Shadow. They dove out of the way just in time as the whirlwind of fog blew past them. It knocked against a tower on the rooftop, knocking it down completely.
The two continued to swallow the candy. As they did, they began to feel a change...
...but one had more than the other. One person fell short and didn't have enough to match and defeat Paul.
Paul reached down with his giant fist. He grabbed at the two and scooped one up in his hand...
It was Shadow.
Paul lifted Shadow up with ease. Shadow struggled, but was incapable of escaping Paul's grasp. He was lifted up towards Paul's face.
"ya hi.." Shadow said.
Paul smiled. "...bye."
Paul floated upwards above the roof with Shadow in tow. He lifted him high above the central tower of FE Manor, and with all his force, threw Shadow down towards it.
Shadow plummeted back down towards the tower of the roof. His body slammed into the sharp peak of the tower with a heavy thud and sickening sound. The point of the tower jutted through his back and out of his chest. KC shielded himself from the falling debris as Shadow coughed up bright red blood. The point of the tower broke off as Shadow fell back onto the roof with it.
He landed at the top of a slant and slid down towards KC. The rain ran down the side of the slope and mixed with his blood. KC ran to his friend and did what he could to help, but it was too late. He cradled Shadow in his hands as the rain continued to dump down on them.
Suddenly, a mist raised from Shadow's corpse. The mist formed into a ghoulish, white image of Shadow. His soul escaped from his body and smiled at KC. He took what was left of his candy and pushed it towards him.
"good luck 2 u" he said. "come shadowcat!"
Running along the rooftop was the spirit of Shadowcat. It jumped up into Shadow's arms and Shadow pet him thoughtfully. He smiled as Shadowcat purred, and soon the two vanished completely.
"HOW TOUCHING!" Paul yelled out. "BUT IT'S TOO LATE! I HAVE MY THIRTEEN SOULS."
Paul looked to the full moon and recited a spell. Two bolts of lightning crossed and struck the rooftop. Fog encompassed Paul once again, but this time it was different. Paul was shrinking.
He laughed manically as he morphed into the size of a regular human. For the first time in thirteen years, Paul was alive and mortal.
"IT WORKED.....I DID IT! HAHAHA! I'M ALIVE...I'M ALLIIIIVE!"
KC rose to his feet. He consumed the rest of the candies and felt his body change. He began to grow at an enormous rate, just as Paul did.
Paul looked up in horror. "No....NO NO NOO!" he screamed out.
KC was now twenty times his size. Even his hair grew out. He floated above FE Manor in a cloud of fog and looked down at the minuscule Von Paulus.
Paul looked up as KC lifted his shoe into the air above him. His shadow blocked out the light from the moon. Paul fell onto his back and shielded himself.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
KC slammed down with incredible force. Paul's body was crushed into the roof and was thrust straight through it. He fell through the ceiling and floor of his once luxurious bedroom. Floorboards snapped as he continued to be ejected through each floor. He fell through the foyer and then into the dark basement. He landed onto the stone ground hard as blood sprayed from his sides. Von Paulus was no more.
KC regained his composure and caught his breath. He reached down and grabbed the scrap of parchment that Paul had read from. He recited it the same way, and soon shrunk down do his human size.
Then, the house began to shake. More towers collapsed and debris fell all over. Lightening struck the rooftop all over as the house grew more and more unstable.
KC slid down the roof towards Curtis. He smacked him against the back of the head.
"WAKE UP! WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!" he shouted over the noise.
Curtis woke, but was woozy. He wiped the blood from the back of his head as KC helped him to his feet.
"IS IT OVER? IS HE DEAD?" Curtis yelled. KC nodded back.
Another tower fell, this time towards them. The two dove out of the way as stones scattered around the area and slid off the rooftop.
"LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!" KC screamed.
The two ran over to the trap door and crawled back down it just in time. They stood in the dark attic as the walls began to crumble around them.
KC led the way and the two jumped back through the portrait or Paul and escaped through Paul's bedroom. The wall was knocked down, tearing the portrait of Paul into two.
As they ran down the hallways, whisps of fog followed them. They ran by the ballroom and were met with tons of smiling faces.
"I hope you enjoyed your stay :) " said the bartender as the room caved in onto him and the bar patrons.
The possessed doctor and nurses from Paul's medical room gave chase down the hallways, as did the executioner who killed Lamps.
Along the way, KC and Curtis ran past the spirits of their fallen friends. They stood along the sides of the halls and smiled at them before vanishing.
They ran through the foyer. The living dead continued to feast on whatever was left of Vernon. They ducked and dodged past them down the stairwell.
Blocking the doorway of FE Manor was the spirit of the little girl who dispatched Boc and Rob. She covered her face with her hair and cried out. On each side of her were two werewolves.
She took a step towards the two.
KC ran towards the door, punching the little girl in the face as he ran by. She fell onto the ground and the two wolves thrashed her apart. "Well that works." Curtis said as he ran behind him.
They jumped down the front steps of the mansion as it caved in completely. The glass from the greenhouse shattered. The kitchen was set completely ablaze after being struck with lightening. Walls fell and smoke billowed from the ruins of the house. FE Manor was destroyed.
KC and Curtis cleared the area, backing away from the mansion and past the cemetery. They stood at the gate where it had all started. The bus sat there waiting for them.
Curtis spit towards Paul's empty grave at the head of the cemetery. The two caught their breath as they looked on at the destruction.
Curtis turned towards KC.
"So...are you gonna come to the Christmas reunion!" he said cheerfully.
KC thought intently for a few moments, before turning towards Curtis...
"No."
KC HAS WON THE GAME!
