Alistor focused on the fire.

“Well, it’s not what you would call spooky. But ok here goes.”

The Creature of the Well.

“It was during the last major war of the Zophian era. The battle was at its peak when the Great Moon led the final charge against the Hundred Hands army. The emperor sacrificing one of his many hands, created one of the deadliest monster known to man. A parasitic creature called Negmanite.”

The kids were seen hooked in with Maigashi.

“This was one of the many trials placed in his path. The Great Moon’s army was caught by surprise when it attacked. Craving for the thirst of blood it slaughtered countless victims. The casualties were great as it proved to be a match for Moon.”

The Great Moon is seen holding his own against the creature. Many bodies lie scattered across the marsh field. He draws his last breath.

“So how did he beat it?” Niko asked.

“Well, with the last stroke of power he focused it all on a seal. Targeting a well, the monster was imprisoned for all eternity. And as we know, this makes Hazefall the burial grounds for many fallen soldiers.”

The kids were now seen shriveled up near a corner.

“What? It doesn’t seem so bad.” Maigashi shrugged. “Now we know were sitting over a bunch of dead bodies. Maybe we can catch a ghost or something.”

“I don’t think I can sleep ever again.” Niko shuddered.

Alistor suddenly feels something sticky under his garment.

“What the?”

Auroa and Maigashi were seen giggling.

“Look like you got yourself dirty.”

“Guys!!”

Alistor walks off into the cabin slightly annoyed.

“So what are the plans for tomorrow?” Auroa asked Niko.

“Beats me. That’s up to the director to decide. We’ll find out tomorrow.”

“I hope it’s some doll house and dress up.” Miko muttered.

Meanwhile, back at the office Shellshock is seen tossing papers about.

“Fishing? Hiking? Raft riding? Macaroni art! LAME!!!!”

The commander spun his chair around thinking to himself.

“What these kids need are some good labor! Hey? Maybe I can start with that new base I want to build.”

He begins looking over some blueprints, but gets interrupted with an incoming transmission from a Whooper.

“What? You guys made it to the well. On my way!”

In a split second the general arrives to the marsh field. Surrounded by whoopers dancing across the well.

“It’s time to break the seal!”

The commander shot out his chains encasing the entire well.

“Come forth Negmanite! Your new master calls!”

Within a moment the blood dried well shatters apart. A deformed arm first reaches out from the hole. It slowly pulls itself up. The monster begins taking steps forward, but stumbles to the floor.

“Man you’re a complete mess! Allow me to fix you up. You are no longer affiliated with Hundred Hands! You are now a property of Aggerona.”

More chains begin to encase the monster. Repairing parts of its body with a new coat of paint and armor.

“You once craved for blood. But now you’ll go for power and water systems. Now go! Gather energy for the labyrinth.”

The monster immediately jumps off into the nearest pond. The following morning the camp was awakened early for a surprise.

“Why is there so much garbage?” Alistor stumbled.

“Bamboo did you forget to throw all your trash in the kitchen?” Maigashi asked.

“Hey! It wasn’t me! I didn’t cook that much last night.”

A puzzled look was on the team as the director came forward. Handing off the agenda for today.

“A clean up?” Auroa questioned.

Niko looks over the schedule.

“Let’s see….Huh? Bridge building, cutting trees, cement mixing and assembling bricks and walls.”

Disappointment was seen in Miko’s eye.

“But I wanted to play some dress up in a dollhouse.” She mumbled.

“Well not today!” The director shouted.

“These tasks seem rather odd?” Auroa replied.

The director begins to waltz off.

“I want this place squeaky clean by lunch. Then we’ll talk.”

The party begins grabbing bags for the morning cleanup. Bamboo is seen along with the kids assisting. Sometime later the director hands over the blueprints to the team.

“Are you sure we can do this?” Niko asked. “It’s huge!”

The group is overwhelmed by the blueprints set for Shellshocks new base.

“Get to work!”

The kids were seen unmotivated to begin. Objecting to his every command as whining begins to commence.

“I don’t want to build a fort!” Miko yelled. “It’s a boy’s thing and I want to go home.”

The sound of kids begins getting into Shellshocks ears as Alistor and the rest stood by.

“Gah! I got to shut them up. But, how?”

“I want to play dollhouse!”

From desperation an idea struck the general.

“Of course! We ARE going to play in a dollhouse.”

Miko and some others quickly calmed down.

“Really?”

“Yes! But instead we need to build it first.” Shellshock explained. “This is going to be a big dollhouse.”

The children begin to get excited.

“Can we paint it pink?” She asked.

“What!!!”

“I want it pink!” Miko shouts.

“Ok Pink? Fine! Just start!”

The kids begin to get to work as Alistor and the others lent a helping hand. Bamboo makes his way back to the kitchen.

“Hmm, what to prepare for dinner?”

He spots a big bag of pasta.

“Ah! I’ll just start boiling these then. Now for some water.”

Bamboo heads to the sink. He pulls the lever, but nothing but a drip leaked out.

“Huh? Is this thing broken?”

He begins tapping over the leaky faucet. Flames quickly burst in his face.

“That’s not right?”

He turns his attention to turn on the stove, water quickly gushes on him. The lights begin flickering in the room.

“What is with this place? It’s haunted!”

Bamboo rushed out the doors.

“Hmm? What’s cooking?” Maigashi asked.

“It’s haunted! Something is messing with the power and water.” He panted.

Maigashi goes to take a look back inside with Bamboo.

“Hm, I don’t see anything?”

The two proceed into the kitchen. He approached the nob on the sink. Bamboo briefly backs away. Water is seen flowing normally out of the faucet.

“Works fine for me. Must be your imagination.” He shrugged.

He proceeds to turn on the stove.

“But I saw something.” Bamboo gestured.
