"So.....this is your home? It looks...."

You along with Falcon Dense and his Creepymon, Sally, arrived at a small peach colored building with a massive amount of flowers and vines twining around it. It was only one story and had two windows in the front that could barely be seen due to all the growth covering them. There were also two old front lights next to the door that both flickered off and on simultaneously.

"...Why's there so much...greenery on your house?" You ask, tilting your head at the Elite's dwelling. "Because, that's how I like it. Plus, at night it confuses any Creepymon that may try to break into my home. You see, it makes for a good camouflage with the forest," He replied, proudly eyeing his house up and down. "I really like Falcon's house, it's pretty," Sally murmured, reaching to pull at one of the bright flowers growing off the vines.

You smile at her and slowly follow them to the porch where Falcon seemingly has trouble getting the door open. Once he finally forces the door open, the three of you walk inside and you see a nice small living room with a comfy looking couch set against the wall across from a small TV.  A round coffee table was at the center and on top of it was a vase with colorful daffodils placed inside of it.

You look back to the couch and notice a huge fluffy brown teddy bear with a small hat placed on its head; its fur was roughly matted, and there was dry blood spots on some parts of it along with a creepy looking smile. "Mr. Freddy!" Sally squealed, running over to the bear and throwing herself into its arms. "I missed you so much....Charlie missed you too!" She pulls out her other teddy bear and puts it in the paws of the other. You glare at the creepy looking bear and Falcon laughs, catching your expression.

"I brought that bear for Sally a while back, and she loved it...as you can see though, she re-decorated it to her own liking..."

You nod sort of unsettled at the sight of the bear and slowly make your way to the other side of the living room.

You see a small kitchen towards your left and a room located at the right. The room's door was left wide open and you could see the inside; simply a bed, a rocking chair, closet, and desk stand. "This your room?" You ask Falcon as he comes up next to you. "Yep. That's my room, as well as Sally's and Puppeteer's and— well, it used to be Kagekao's but he's yours now."

You nod and then frowned in confusion, "wait, so where does Splendorman sleep?"

"That Splendorman doesn't sleep, all he does is play around all night and watch TV."

"...I see."

Falcon smiled and closed the door, then lead you back to the living room. "I know it's a very small house, but I love it—we all do."

"I understand that, I'm glad you have somewhere to call home at least," you reply nodding your head.

Sally looked up from cuddling with her two teddy bears and jumped off the couch, running over to you two. "Can you please bring out Jeffrey and Kagekao now {Y/n}? I want to show them our home too!" She said, looking up with pleading eyes. You chuckle and reply "Sure!" as you reach into your backpack for your Creepymon.

You decide to let everyone out of there Killerspheres so they could see the place so one by one you summoned them, first Jeff, then Kagekao, Laughing Jack, and lastly, Hoodie.

Falcon decided as well to call his companions and he summoned out both Splendorman and The Puppeteer.

"We're...we're at Falcon-sama's home??" Kagekao gasped looking around. His mask suddenly changed to a joyful happy expression and he jumped around excitedly, "Homeeeeee!!!!"

The Puppeteer looked over at the jumpy Kagekao with a saddened expression on his face, then he suddenly turned and walked off towards Falcon's room, slamming the door.

Kagekao stopped and you all glared at the door to Falcon's room. "I-I think he's still upset with me..." Kagekao murmured under his breath, looking down at the floor. "Why don't you go talk to him while we welcome our guests," Falcon suggested, patting Kagekao's back. Kagekao looked up at Falcon and smiled, "Y-Your right. Arigatou, Falcon-sama."

Once he disappeared into the room, your Creepymon began looking around at their new surroundings.

"So, this is your home? Looks pretty shity to me," Jeff scoffed, crossing his arms. "Jeff, I live here too!" Sally remarked, crossing her arms with a sad pout. "GEE THIS PLACE IS GREAT!" Jeff exclaimed, clapping his hands together.

You laugh and look to Laughing Jack and Hoodie. Laughing Jack was intently studying Sally's huge teddy bear and Hoodie seemed to be taking an interest in the TV.

"I'm so glad we have guests, aren't you Dense?" Splendorman said, looking to Falcon. "It's nice I guess, since we never really had guests," Falcon replied. "That's because the house is so covered up it looks like it's apart of the forest, silly!" Splendorman laughed.

Falcon rolled his eyes and then turned to you with a now very serious expression. "I think it's time we sit down and talk about this Creepymon Champion, {Y/n}," He murmured, rubbing his hands together nervously. Sally whimpered softly and Laughing Jack looked up in alarm. Jeff tilted his head with curiosity, Splendorman lowered his hat over his head, and Hoodie surprisingly didn't react at all.

"Yeah, I think so too. It's about time I learn who this guy is," You reply ignoring the Creepypastas' reactions. Falcon gestures you to the couch and you take a seat on the far end away from Sally's bear. Sally pulled Jeff to the couch with her and made him sit next to her while she hopped onto her bear's lap. Laughing Jack took his seat next to Jeff and Hoodie sat next to you.

"Splendorman, could you fetch our visitors some tea while I speak with them?" Falcon asked, and Splendorman nodded his head and hurried to the kitchen.

"So...the Creepymon Champion...who is he? And what's the big deal about him?" You ask, your curiosity now at its max.

"Well first, you need to know that he isn't someone you should be excited about going to challenge; even speaking his name is nerve wrecking to many individuals, even Creepymon," Falcon began.

"Two years ago, I was met by a young seemingly charming boy who was definite on challenging my gym with his Creepymon. He was like you, {Y/n}, eager to get three badges and become the best. No one had ever done the job before. His name was Seth Quinn. I gladly accepted his challenge; he seemed like a nice, eager boy—at first. The only thing I sensed suspicious about him was this dark aura. We began battling, he summoned his Creepymon first. It was a hooded figure with a dark blue mask covering all their face and all black clothing. I complimented his Creepymon and then summoned mine; I only had Splendorman at the time. They fought, Splendorman did pretty much the same things he did in the battle with Laughing Jack as he did with this pasta. The Creepymon was strangely very strong for some reason, and he easily tore apart Splendorman in less than 15 seconds. I was shocked at this ones power, and went forth to congratulate him when something stopped me. The dark aura around him had grown stronger and it was now legitimately visible. His appearance began to change to; his light gray eyes turned pitch black void and the essence of the blackness seeped from his eyes down his face. His hair turned as black as his eyes and his teeth grew crooked and sharp. He demanded from me I hand over Splendorman, but I refused despite my terrified state. Then, from behind the boy rose a very tall figure as dark as night, his malevolent aura was magnificent. The last thing I remember from our first encounter was the figure tapping into my brain and driving me mad."

Your eyes widened in disbelief, "He did that to you?"

"No, the figure behind him."

"Who was the figure."

"I'm not sure, no one whose ever fought Seth has stayed awake to be able to tell."

You nod slowly, taking in the information on Seth and this 'figure'. "Please, continue on about Seth, what did he do so bad?"

"Well," Falcon started, "Seth of course went through the other two Creepymon gyms and the Elites were both defeated in the same way as I. It was shocking to hear that the final gym leader had went down so easily though, he was said to be the strongest in the world. At least, until Seth took over. Once Seth forced his way past all of us, we knew that he claimed the Creepymon Champion title as his own and he came back to storm the whole region; a lot of people were killed in his madness. It took me and the two other elites to chase him off eventually, but the battle was three days long...when he fled with his Creepymon and that...that figure, the town we were fighting in was left in rubble. All because of him, we now have things such as CM Guard and the banishment of Creepymon in certain places...."

"Wow..." You murmur, shaking your head at the thought of it. "I'm glad I wasn't around to see that..." Sally whimpered, squeezing Jeff's arm. "I would've like to see that..." Jeff muttered.

Just then, Splendorman enters into the living room with a tray full of cups of tea. "Here's everyone's tea, Falcon!" He exclaimed, setting it on the center table. "Thank you, Splendorman," Falcon smiled and got up to pass the tea to everyone. "Oh, thanks," you say, lightly sipping your tea.

"So I'll continue on while you all enjoy your beverage. Like I said, Seth had fled from the known parts of our region and we know he took shelter in a abandoned mansion far north. After that big battle, despite the protests against Creepymon and the rise of the CM Guard, a lot of people underhandedly started to begin catching and training with their Creepymon to challenge our gyms and then go north to try and bring down Seth once and for all. Unfortunately, the rate of trainers has been drastically lowering due to the fact that whoever went to fight Seth had never returned..."

You nearly spit out your tea and look warily at Falcon. "Never return?" You stutter.

Falcon nods and his expression turns sad. "I've lost many of my friends to that monster...there's never been anyone who seemingly defeat him. To make things worse, we know that Seth now sends out Creepymon who are willing to help him kill trainers out on their way to him. That's how I got Puppeteer and Kagekao...they used to be one of Seth's mindless slaves until I freed them and allowed them to stay with me. They're very eager to defeat him one day, hoping to get revenge for what he did to them."

"Poor Kagekao...poor Puppeteer," Sally whispered. "At least they're secure with better trainers now... Puppeteer with Falcon and {Y/n} has Kagekao," Laughing Jack said. Falcon nodded his head, "Yes, they're safe with us now, but Seth could come back for whatever he wants whenever he pleases. He's as much of a killer as any Creepypasta is, he just uses his intimidation and his Creepymon to get what he wants."

"Wait, remember in the fight between Puppeteer and Kagekao? Kagekao said something about trying to run away from that monster...was he talking about Seth?" You ask, tilting your head. "That must be so. When Kagekao suddenly ran off with Sally one day, me, Splendorman, and Puppeteer were confused beyond reasoning, especially Puppeteer, since those two had been so close to each other," Falcon replied.

"If Kagekao ran off because of Seth, why didn't you and your Creepymon run too?"

"We didn't sense anything of his presence..."

"So how did Kagekao sense it...?"

"I'm not sure {Y/n}, but it was enough to make him run off with Sally, probably to protect her so if Seth was to come, she wouldn't have to encounter him. My guess is because he used to be connected with Seth, he had sensed Seth's presence or one of his Creepymon."

You nod your head and sigh, looking down solemnly at your now empty cup. "I was really looking forwards to challenging him...but now that I know he's such a monster, I'm not so sure..." You murmur.

"It's good that you're trying to get all three gym badges and all, but after the final gym, you need to turn away from there. I don't think you should proceed to Seth, no one gets through him. It's for your own safety..." Falcon said, giving you a serious glare. Just before you could nod you head in agreement with Falcon, Hoodie abruptly turned to him, which made you both jump.

"So basically you're just telling her to give up?" He growled, facing Falcon. "You think she can't beat Seth just because all those other people failed? I used to highly doubt us having anything to do with Seth, but I've seen {Y/n} in battle long enough to know that she's capable of taking that bastard down! Her faith in all of us is exactly what keeps us fighting till we've won, there's no room for giving up."

You stare at Hoodie in shock and then lower your head embarrassed. "Th-Thanks Hoodie..." You stammer, looking down at the carpet.

"It's not that I'm trying to get her to give up, I'm trying to protect all of you by encouraging you NOT to face Seth! I don't want to see the same thing that happened to other people happen to you, it's been forever since I've come upon such a great trainer like you, {Y/n}," Falcon exclaimed, sorrowfully.

"How are you so sure the same thing will happen to us? I believe we can take him and and bring him down for good, especially with {y/n} leading us," Hoodie said, crossing his arms.

You look unsurely to Hoodie, then to Falcon. "You know Falcon...maybe if I just catch more Creepymon and I get my team stronger, we can perhaps defeat Seth.." You murmur, thinking throughly. "You still don't understand, do you? It doesn't matter how strong your Creepymon are or how good you work with them, Seth will MURDER YOU," Falcon growled, his face showing anger and concern.

"It's her decision wether she wants to go for him or not, not yours," Hoodie sneered. "If you won't heed my warning, then you'll see for yourself!" Falcon shouted. "Please stop fighting!" Sally cried, glaring at Falcon worriedly. You look down in confusion and nervousness; you were quite unsure what to do with Hoodie and Falcon trying to pull you to different sides.

"I'll think about it...what I'm going to do. I just want to get stronger first," was your reply.

"Fine. Just know that me and everyone else is behind you no matter what you decide to do," Hoodie said, nodding his head to you, "everyone that is, except for the Elite."

Falcon growled and looked down, he had nothing else to say. "Um...thank you Falcon..." You murmur, "for telling me about Seth and being so concerned."

Falcon merely nodded and got up to pick up everyone's empty cup of tea. As he took the dishes away, Kagekao and Puppeteer appeared from the room, talking with each other. It seemed they made up now and were friends again, you assumed.

"Lookie friends, me and Puppeteer are buddies again!" Kagekao exclaimed, slapping his hand on The Puppeteer's back. "That's great news, I'm so happy!" Splendorman laughed, waving eagerly at them. Sally jumped up and ran over to them, hugging them both. "Now we can all be friends again, just like before!" She cheered, an excited smile on her face. "Yes, just like before," the Puppeteer said, patting Sally's head.

You smile at them and then frown when you feel someone staring at you. You turn to see Hoodie there, tapping his foot seemingly impatiently. "What is it?" You ask him, shrinking back a bit.

"I just want you to know that it's okay to challenge Seth, despite what anyone else tells you. You know that me and Jeff, Laughing Jack, and Kage will do anything to help you."

You smile and nod, "Yes, I know that. Thank you Hoodie, I'll really think about it."

You couldn't see what his expression was, but you were sure he accepted your answer as he turned away, looking to the TV.

"So what are we doing, staying here for the night?" Jeff asked, stretching and laying back on the couch. "Um, that's up to Falcon, Jeff," you reply, trying not to chuckle at him laying his head on the big teddy bear. "Falcon sir? Can Jeff and everyone else please stay here with us tonight?" Sally asked, looking with pleading eyes to the elite. "Of course they can stay, it's too late to be outside anyways," Falcon replied, glancing outside a window you could barely see through.

"I call sleeping on the couch!" Jeff yelled, and Sally crossed her arms, frowning at him. "You can't sleep on Mr. Freddy!"

"If it's more efficient, I could return to my Killersphere," Laughing Jack said, looking to you. "You can stay out if you want Jack. It's not like this is another motel where Creepymon aren't allowed..." You mutter, remembering the motels stupid rule about keeping Creepymon put away.

"Sorry Jeffrey, but the couch is mine," Splendorman said, walking over to Jeff and picking him up. "Put me down!!" Jeff screamed as he was being lift up onto the air. "Unless you want to watch TV with me? Ooh, and we could even have a tea party too!" Splendorman exclaimed, smiling brightly at Jeff. :D

"I'd rather sleep in a trash bin, put me down!" Jeff growled, trying to break free of Splendorman's grasp. Splendorman giggled, "Okay, if you say so," then he hugged Jeff lovingly and put him down. Jeff grumbled while shaking uncomfortably and stormed off to the room, "I'm sleeping under the bed..."

Sally yawned and walked over to Splendorman who was sitting on the couch. She then took place between him and her teddy bears, "I'm going to sleep here," she said, snuggling between them. Splendorman gleefully hugged Sally and smiled, "Awesome!"

"The rest of us can sleep in Falcon-sama's room," Kagekao suggested, leading you, Laughing Jack and Hoodie there. You all saw Jeff's head was poking out from under the bed and he looked up in confusion. "You're not ALL sleeping in here, are you?" He muttered. "Yes we are Jeff. Have a problem?" Laughing Jack growled, crossing his arms. "Sort of...just don't bother me, got it?" He then turned and looked to you, "Hey {Y/n}, wanna sleep under here too?"

You quickly put your hands up and shake your head, "Heck no, sorry Jeff," you reply a bit off. "Whatever," Jeff mumbled and he disappeared back under the bed.

"Feel free to sleep on the bed, {Y/n}, you're our guest after all," The Puppeteer said, pointing to it. "I'll just sleep in the closet and Kagekao in the rocking chair."

"Er...okay...are you sure Falcon would be ok with this?" You ask, laying your backpack on the floor and sitting on the side of the bed. Just then, Falcon walked into the room and glared at all the people occupied in there. "I guess I'll be sleeping on the floor tonight...goodnight?" He sighed and closed the door. "Take that as a yes!" Kagekao chuckled and hopped into the rocking chair.

"I think we should go to our Killerspheres," Laughing Jack murmured to Hoodie and Hoodie simply nodded. You grab the devices from your backpack and re-summoned the two back into their spheres, "Goodnight, you guys."

Once they were gone, The Puppeteer switched off the lights in the room and backed into the small closet. "Goodnight, my friends," he said before closing the door. "Oyasumi, minasan!" Kagekao exclaimed, nudging his head on the chair. "Goodnight," you heard Jeff's muffled sound from under the bed. You kind of didn't want Jeff underneath you while you were sleeping, but it wasn't too much of a big deal.

You dug your way under the covers and tried to get comfortable to fall asleep, but thoughts of Seth Quinn started flooding into your head and you didn't know wether you should take Falcon's advice and stay away from him, or trust in Hoodie and your Creepymon to fight beside you.

"All I want ...is to be the best," you sighed to yourself, and laid there thinking quietly until you fell asleep.
