As music rose to life, the speakers for Funhouse's intercom crackled. Lights began to shine across the park.

     "Hello, Players," a man's voice greeted over the speaker. "The game has started."

     In a control room hidden within the park, a man in a top hat was viewing the various cameras of the park. He smiled smugly as he watched the various sectors.

       "You all must make it to the center of the park before dawn or else," he said. "Watch out for traps all over the park...and our reapers. Let the games begin."

       His voice was cold and yet dripping with dark pleasure as it disappeared within the calliope music that followed.

       The trio looked up at the speaker.

        "Our job begins now too," Risika said. Suddenly, a scream echoed in the park. Hero turned his head at the direction of the scream.

         "That scream came from that direction! Let's go!" he exclaimed. The three began to race to the place of the scream. But that was when Okami stopped. He could feel a chill in the air, an eerie aura from behind. He turned his head to look back but saw that there was no one there.

          I felt a dark aura but it's gone now, Okami thought. But there was no time to investigate. He had to help the humans in danger!

     The scream came from a graveyard themed attraction in the park known as Gravestone Way. A girl's scream echoed from within.  A girl dressed in a pink ballerina type costume was shivering in fear at the cloaked enemy known as a reaper that stood before her. Tears of fear rolled down her eyes.
