Ghostly Universe (book 3) - By David Teoh



The three boys

We ended the last story with the whole mansion exploding, killing everyone, including the three boys. Now, they find themselves floating in a massive control room, where they reunite with Grace, Kazu, and Sing.



Chapter 1

The three boys felt like they just woke up from a long coma. At this point of the story, they are floating in the air, and just met their deceased friends.

“What are all of you doing here?” Hugo pondered in total shock.

Kazu explained what happened.

“We saw what happened, you were involved in an explosion. We watched it happen live in the sky. We knew Anton was the killer all along.”

“Then why didn't you save us?” Hugo asked.

“We couldn’t. We were hoping you would catch Anton, but I guess the Mission failed. We’ve always been watching from the sky, always alert to what’s happening. However, we couldn’t control any of your lives, and have to slowly and sadly watch you all die.”

Max seemed confused. “Where’s Mia, Lance, and Emiliano?”

“Oh, they’re in hell, after the bad deeds they’ve done in their lives. Don't ask me what they did, I have no clue.”

I guess, they're dead.

There is no possible way they would have survived that massive bomb attack. At least, Anton is in hell now.

Meanwhile, to cheer everyone up, Kazu showcased his CPU he created in the sky. Honestly, by the looks of it, it doesn’t seem safe. Anyways, everyone was bored, so they tested it out. While the rest were just watching movies in the sky because there was nothing else to do since they’re dead. The three boys, plus Kazu, Grace, and Sing crowded among the computer to check it out.

“This is Massive!” Max exclaimed.

“I know, right? Let me turn it on…”

The wind started to suck in from the computer, and everyone was confused.

In confusion, Grace asked, “Kazu, what did you do to this PC?”

Proudly, Kazu exclaimed, “OH, I ADDED THE BRAND NEW RTX REALISTIC WINDPOWER SUCKING DEVICE.”

“Kazu… do you know that has been the dodgiest item in heaven’s technology history? Rumors said that the scientists that turned it on, were never found again?”

Kazu didn't believe her until he realized he did take her for granted. “Ahh, I see, well it's working all smooth-” Kazu once again failed to finish his words, as he got sucked into the Monitor.

In confusion, Hugo asked, “What happened…?”

Sing shouted “Oh, RUN-”

Everyone had been sucked in. They spawned on a mountain far up the hill.



Chapter 2

In frustration, Max screamed, “THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME, WHERE NOW?”.

In front of them, it was a river. Nobody had a clue where they were. However, the river had words saying:

Miss reality? I know some of you have gone through the ghostly school and mystery mansion, this will be your final one. However, there will be a challenge awaiting you.

“What is happening? Is this all a simulation? Seems like it,” Max thought.

They walked up the hill, pointlessly, until they saw some rare animals.

They came across a little yellow cat, with a thunder-looking tail. He said an adorable “Meow” and ran off.

Everyone chased after the cute yellow cat.

They ran and sprinted up the hill until they reached the absolute top. At the summit point, there were hundreds of them. That was the cutest moment ever.

Who cares about reality? We got this!”, Hugo thought.

At first, everyone hesitated to touch the yellow cats thinking they could be poisonous.

Eventually, Sing picked it up and cuddled it around him. “So cute!”

At this point, it’s pretty obvious that they aren’t harmful. Everyone slowly petted the cats in absolute satisfaction, and had the best time of their lives until Max decided to act completely dumb.

There was a cat at the end of the edge, looking down. There weren't any barriers. Stupidly, he decided to go up to the cat and shout “SURPRISE!”

The cat instantly got a shock and started to lose balance along the cliff. Sooner or later, he fell down the cliff.

“Uh Oh…”

Every cat turned around and stared at him.

Within 5 seconds, the sky turned dark. Thunderstruck down, and the yellow cat’s eyes turned red, and the cats looked at everyone in anger.

“WHAT'S HAPPENING?” Everyone screamed in fear.

Soon, the 100 cats merged into one giant cat, and it looked awful…

“Gg” Hugo said in a defeated voice.



Chapter 3

The cat was no longer yellow. It had turned into one giant monster from Planet Z.

A deep voice came in “Survive for FIVE seconds, and you proceed.”

“Five seconds?” They thought, “must be easy.”


The first move already caused deadly damage.

THUNDER FANG.

That was the move that had single-handedly taken down Kazu. He was on the floor, trying to get up. However, the impact on him was severe.

The second move came in.

SPARK.

That move, specifically targeted at Grace, took her down too. The strong, muscular tennis player, just couldn't handle the shot.

Third move, CHARGE BEAM.

This time, Sing got taken down. Ok, maybe he was the weakest out of all of them.

Fourth move, BOLT BEAK.

There goes Erol.

The final move, THUNDER PUNCH.

Max is down. The only remaining one was Hugo.

Another deep voice came in, saying “Good job Hugo, you have survived. Say goodbye to your friends in three two one…”

Sing, Grace, Max, Erol, and Kazu all disappeared, their particles flashed into darkness.

Hugo fell on the floor and started crying. “I've… lost… everyone… everything…”

Were they gone though?



Chapter 4

From a roof, they fell onto a carpeted floor.

“Ouch..ouch….where am I?”

It was a completely black room, with pictures at the side of the walls, they slowly started to appear just when they approached it. Just in the first picture, they started to feel sad.

There was Hugo, on the floor, crying. There was a description to it.

Do you see this guy, you poor friend? Save him, he thinks life is over.

They didn’t know where they were, but there was an exit at the end of the room. Oh god, how they miss reality.

They proceeded to walk on. As they continued their journey down the path, the song Landslide by Fleetwood Mac started to play.

With a smart-ass voice, Grace told everyone nervously “I don’t think this is good. This song was played in the saddest south park episode till this day, and it left the audience in massive tears.”

There were specific pictures on the wall, dedicated to specific people. First, they saw Max’s.

Oh my god.

“Is that… his sister? A video of her sister getting run over by a truck, the same way as Gage did in Pet Sematary.” Sing said.

In a sad voice, Grace tried to comfort Max. “I'm sorry”

This tragic event happened when they were stuck in the horror mansion. One night could screw up Max’s whole life.

The deep voice came back “Grace, Erol, Kazu, Sing, proceed to your station”

They did not want to do this, but they had to. Sing’s station explained how they were in 2030, Erol’s explained how the creator of Rick and Morty died, with the show getting canceled. Kazu explained the hyperinflation in Japan, and how the country had been destroyed. Finally, Grace explained how her favorite football club Leicester City has officially gone bankrupt, with the whole club going extinct. They all hit hard, but none hit harder than Max’s. The deep voice came back.

“Right, how are you all? Please walk out of the door, I have an incoming surprise.

Everyone got up from the floor, and went to Max “I'm sorry for your loss, but every adventure will always come to an end..”

Surprisingly, he got up and shouted “I WILL DO THIS, FOR HER AND HUGO!”

Everyone was surprised, and shouted, “LET’S DO IT!”

They ran towards the door, and the music closed in.

The other side wasn't that pleasant. Max’s depression came back again. Honestly, it never went away. Hugo was there but in an awkward location.



Chapter 5

What is this? A colosseum? Mate, we ain't in the ancient Rome times, this is 2030! Why are colosseums still relevant?”


“Well, who cares? We have to take on what's happening in front of their eyes. Look at that one hell of a tough guy, with a gigantic fist.”


“WELCOME, FIGHT ME OR ESCAPE. OH WAIT, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!” He screamed. As he said that, he approached Erol and squeezed him to death.

Thankfully, he committed a smart move and jumped onto his fingers. The inhuman giant eventually lost control of what was happening. “COME BACK HERE:”

Too late, he had jumped onto his arm, and run right towards his body, and onto his back. The giant got irritated and tried his best to knock him off. Too bad, that isn't impossible, Erol’s dodging skill is on the next level.

Attack one, attack two, attack three, all dodged!

“This..is...IMPOSSIBLE!”

Trying to commit a Hendrik, he screamed “GRACE, KAZU, SING, REMEMBER THE POWERS YOU OWNED! NOW!”

“ON TO IT!!”

Grace started “PULL COUNTER!”, which at least took off 50% of his health.

“SING, KAZU, SAME TIME, NOW!”

“SATAMA PUNCH”

“DETROIT SMASH”

Landed, landed, landed. Critical hit, critical hit, critical hit.

It’s over.

They've taken down the toughest boss to ever exist. What universe is this, what superpowers do they have? Across the five million groups to face this monster, they're the first to beat it. In fact, they've done it in under 2 minutes.

Impossible.

Instantly after he went down, Erol jumped off him and roared “WHO ARE WE? WHO ARE WE? WE DONE IT! WERE THE SUPERIORS!”

Ghosted Lance finally rose from the floor. “Oh my god, this was the redemption boss. Whoever dies has to face him to come back to life, 5 million of them failed.”

“Fine, here's the key to unlocking Hugo’s cage.” He dropped down the keys. Everyone ran up to Hugo, and unlocked the door, and did a group hug. Just as they were hugging, the colosseum started to crumble. Bricks falling could be heard from everywhere.

“WHAT’S- HAPPENING? GIVE ME PEACE!” Kazu screamed in anger.

A defeated Lance started to float away.

“I’ll admit defeat, and I’ll take the colosseum down, I’m a complete loser, and if I can’t win, NONE OF YOU CAN WIN. HAHAHA. AT LEAST I'M NICE ENOUGH TO LEAVE A PORTAL.”

As he flew away, he left a portal, getting smaller and smaller every second.

“One thing, RUN!” They instantly ran towards the shrinking portal. Erol jumped in, Max jumped in, Sing went in, Grace went in...until...it was so small that it could only fit one person.

Deciding whether to go in or not, Hugo heard a scream “HUGO, GO IN!”

It was Kazu, all the way back in Hugo’s cage. “But-Kazu-”

“I DON'T CARE, RUN IN NOW!”

“…”

“HUGO, DO IT FOR ME, GET TOGETHER WITH MAY, DO IT!”

Hugo heard his last words and jumped into the portal.

The portal has closed.


Chapter 6

They're back in Sacramento, where their old school was located.

“What...HAPPENED? WHERE ARE WE?”

Everyone was confused until Kazu arrived to deliver his last words.

“That's right, you're back in Sacramento. Everything's the same. We're back to where we started. The only difference is, I, Lance, Mia, and Emiliano do not exist anymore. That’s it, my time is up, these are my last words, goodbye. Hugo, keep to my promise!”

Poof.

There he went.

Everyone swore not to mention that incident ever again, as they don’t want to think about the deadly school, horrifying mansion, and the ironic universe.

Only Hugo couldn’t keep it off him, he had one goal, and we all know what it is.


Finale

It's the final of the trilogy.


Two months have passed since, and it’s finally the big music test everyone has been waiting for.

It's now or never for Hugo, and it's time to impress everyone, specifically May, with his amazing singing skills.

Mr. McCreary enthusiastically shouted, “Hugo, Max, Erol, Grace, Sing, your group is up!”

It's time. As nervous as he was, he went up onto the stage and began.

“Hey, this song is dedicated to one person. I'll announce it at the end. Time to start.”

Sing, who knew how to drum well, started drumming. The beat went extremely smoothly. It was Hugo’s turn to sing.

“I was distracted, And in traffic, And I didn’t feel it when the earthquake happened, but it got me thinking, Were you out drinkin'? Were you in the living room Chillin' watching' television?”

That was, FABULOUS.

May was so impressed, she started a clapping rhythm. As much pressure as Hugo had, he continued till the end. It was the best singing performance ever in America’s history, let alone his school’s.

He finished it, he had officially survived, until he finally heard a shout. “WHO WAS THAT DEDICATED FOR?”

With full confidence, Hugo spat out the absolute truth from his mouth. “Towards May, and I hope she goes on a date with me.”

Everyone was completely astonished, until 5 seconds later, a completely red-faced May responded.

“Sure.”

Kazu smiled from the sky.


THE END.
