“Greetings humans! heh heh heh… seems we’ve got us a web site now that everyone else is gone. We brought some of our friends along too.”

“Pathetic humanssssss. . . . Your Ajan Warriorssssssss are finissssssssshed. . . . You thought we were defeated at the Lithic Pavilion, but you cannot defeat ussssss ssssso eassssily. . .”

“So as you can see, we’re in charge around here now.”

“This is all so pointless. Why is everything so pointless?”

“Oh, I’m afraid we’ll find the last of the Ajan Warriors soon enough. . . heh heh heh get it? ‘I’m afraid?’”

“I’m so depressed.”

“Go ahead you simpering humans. See if you can find them! We dare you.”

“They get candy and parties and what do I get? A candle burning the top of my head for two weeks. Go away and leave us alone.”

Happy Halloween!

Jessica, Shannon, Talitha, Ranko, Leila and Alanna were all together at school. But one by one, they have vanished. Only Cici and Hikousen are left, and they’ve set out to rescue their friends.

But they need YOUR help. The nefarious Haunted Halloween minions have trapped Jessica and her friends in ensorcelled cages hidden somewhere around the LadyStar web site. Each time you discover one of the ensorcelled cages, you will be able to read another chapter of the story of Cici n’ Hikousen’s Haunted Halloween Hunt. If you can find them, you will be helping Cici and Hikousen solve the Halloween mystery.

Starting Monday, October 15th!

Starting Monday night, October 15th, you have until Halloween night, October 31st, to help rescue all six of Cici’s friends. Then, on Halloween night, the seventh and final chapter of the Haunted Halloween Hunt will be published exclusively right here on the Magical and Mysterious World of LadyStar. Can you defeat the Halloween minions and rescue Cici’s friends?

The Haunted Halloween Hunt Rules

• The ensorcelled cages and story chapters are on the Ladystar.net site only. It is not necessary to click any off-site links or links provided by any site other than LadyStar.net
• You may find clues hidden around the site as well.
• Be observant and read the Halloween story chapters carefully. There might be clues hidden there.

Are you up for the challenge? Prepare yourself. The minions are waiting, and they know what scares you . . .

“Alanna’s been gone a long time, Hikousen. . . I don’t know what I should do. She said to stay here but what if she’s in trouble?”

mrowrzzzzzzzz….

“Maybe I should transform and. . .”

“Hey! Who are you?”

“She is very much too young for Tree Shores High School.”

“You better not be that Sorcerer in disguise or I’ll ZAP YOU!”

“Whoa! I’m not a sorcerer. I promise. Calm down, now, okay? I’m just wondering what a little girl is doing in the band room at our high school?”

“With very strange-looking watch.”

“Yeah.”

“Jessie said I could go to the band room whenever I want. I’m supposed to wait here until Alanna gets back.”

“Jessie… Jessie… hmmm.. oh yeah! Isn’t that the dizzy blond girl that hangs around with Ranko?”

“I think last name is Hoshi. She is freshman in band with Ranko.”

“I don’t know where anybody is. Alanna said to wait but she’s been gone for a long time and I don’t know what to do.”

“I don’t know what’s going on but this sounds bad.”

“I have to go find Acey. She’ll help me find them. Come on Hikousen.”

zzzzzzzz….

“Should she just leave like that?”

“We need to go to Ranko’s Mom’s Diner, or call somebody, because this is like, intense bad stuff going on.”

“We can use the shortcut to get to Diner. I have bike.”

“Me too. Let’s rock.”

“Cici!”

“Alanna! What’s wrong? My timepiece said something was enchanted, and. . .”

“Thank goodness I found you. Listen carefully to me, okay?”

“Okay.”

“Something is terribly wrong. We went to look for Leila, Talitha and Shannon earlier today at Doubler’s. I thought they might have all gone there together for lunch. On the way there, Ranko and Jessica both vanished.”

“Where did they go?”

“I don’t know. I can’t find them anywhere. I’ve got one more place to check. Ranko might have gone over to the athletics building to look for them. I need you to be ready to transform, because I have a bad feeling this has something to do with that Sorcerer.”

“I got my timepiece. Me and Hikousen will go with you!”

“No, Cici. We can’t take a chance that both of us will be attacked. I’ll be right back. Just stay here in the band room, okay?”

“Okay. . .”

“Acey gots a.. huh?”

zzzzzzz….

“Where did everybody go, Hikousen?”

mwrowr?… zzzzzzz….

“My timepiece…. Hikousen, my timepiece is glowing. Something enchanted is around here. Umm.. I’m supposed to do an update so ummm… there’s a video on Acey’s site about Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party but I gotta go find Alanna ’cause something’s not right. Ummm.. bye.”

zzzzzzz….

“Acey gots an update!”

“We should get her a little hat that says ‘Acey gots an update’”

“Heheeee… ooh! It’s a dancing game! I love dancing games!”

“Let’s get over to the Powa!”

“Have you guys seen what Acey and Z-Bot did over at Gamepowa? They’ve got a Video Game Store that is packed with everything! It’s got mostly video games but there must be a thousand things in there you can buy!”

“Yeah and they gots all the ones that they did reviews for on the front page but there’s sections too! They got Dora the Explorer and Harvest Moon and Kirby and everything! Acey says they’re gonna add Eternal Sonata after Z-bot gets back with the review stuff!”

“Check it out, folks. If you’re like us and you love those video games, you’ll find all the best ones in Space Girl’s Store! Don’t forget to vote in the survey. Over on the left side there’s a survey for our Community Discussion feature poll that we’re taking. It’s the tall red box with the gold letters. Everyone should vote once, so join in! We out!”

“Looky! It’s meeeeee! And there’s Teko and my new sword!”

“Looks like we’re putting the team together for our new gallery project.”

“Ooh, it’s got the new logo too. I love new stuff.”

“We’re gonna start our new gallery today, ’cause Talitha said there’s gonna be this button and it will have all our pictures in it and it changes all by itself. She gots all the best drawings too, and lots of them are warriors and treasures.”

“This is a new category too, so if you want to see our gallery updates, they’ll all be linked to the Legends of Aventar Gallery category.”

“Sweet, let’s get going!”

“This must have been why we’ve had that tough-looking girl on our main page for the past few weeks, huh?”

“I never thought we’d be surprised by big events on our own site, but I know I was surprised.”

“Cici, how did you know about all of this before anyone else did?”

“”Cause I’m the Warrior of the Rocks and I’m ready for anything! My lantern tells me when things are enchanted and stuff.”

“So you found out about the web comic and halloween stuff ’cause of your lantern?”

“Makes sense, right? LadyStar webcomic, enchanted webcomic. We got no shortage of magical artifacts and such. That Chronicler’s Lantern doesn’t miss much.”

“I wonder what we’re gonna get to do for Halloween? I hope it’s fun and not scary.”

…

…

“Boo”

“Cici’s got an announcement? No way!”

“Yeah! We’re gonna have two events in one month! It’s gonna be just like April and when we had all our friends come with us to the site! This month is gonna be even better than that!”

“Even better than that?! Well, let’s see what the big announcements are then!”

*giggle*

“We’re gonna have a web comic and it starts this month!”

“Errr….”

“That’s.. like a really big… announcement, huh?”

“Sugoi…”

“Yeah! And we’re gonna have a big contest for Halloween like we did when we had the Spooky Swifty River contest too!”

“Uhhh.. conference? Please?”

“We’ll, uhh.. we’ll be back later. I hope.”

“Sugoi…”

“Yay, a quiz! I love quizzes!”

“Okay, the rules are pretty simple. We’re going to put up five questions, and if you want to answer, you just add a comment on this article. We’ll put up the answers on Monday of next week, so you’ve got the weekend to study.”

“All the answers are in our books, so if you read up and you’re a good studier like me, you’ll know the answers!”

“Okay, Alanna-sama asks the first question.”

“Question Number One: What kind of flowers grow alongside the walkway in front of Jessica’s house?”

“Ooh, good question.”

“Cici gots the second question.”

“Yeah! Okay Question Number Two: Where was I when I first found the Chronicler’s Lantern and what was nearby?”

“Talitha-chan gets question number three.”

“Question Number Three: What is the room number of the Tree Shores High School Band Room?”

“Ranko-chan gets question number four.”

“Question Number Four: What treasure did we get from the big demon monsters in Palace in the Sky?”

“And I get Question Number Five: In the Legend of the LadyStar, where did the battle against the Vulture Crest take place?”

“There you go folks. If you get all five right, you’re a certified LadyStar champ! Don’t forget to vote!”

“Acey gots an update!”

“She’s like one of those little mechanical guys that walks out of a clock and announces stuff.”

“Ohayo gozaimasu Acey-san!”

“You guys got that Heavenly Sword game review published, huh?”

“What.”

“She can fly around when she’s fighting too! And her sister is named Kai and there’s this really fat guy that she beats up in the game and it’s soooo pretty all the places you get to go.”

“Well, that about covers the review. What do you think, Space girl?”

“We’ll take it.”

“Affirmative. Review transferred to core circuits for priority transmission to the Hana.”

“There you go, Cici. You’re an official Gamepowa.com reviewer.”

“Yay!”

“Okay boys and girls, it’s voting time again. Professor Planet over here has installed a new poll and this one should be interesting. Right over there on the left side of every page: crimson background, nice, gold lettering, nice. Buttons for each answer and a button to vote.”

“Ooh, there’s seven answers. Let’s see, there’s a message board, and a shoutbox, and more blog comments.”

“What’s a shout box?”

“That’s a little window where anyone can type a short message any time they want. It’s really simple and fast.”

“We should bring back the Character Book. That thing rocked. We had like 500 signatures or something.”

“Most of these are pretty easy to do.”

“I think our audience will make a wise decision.”

“It’s up to you guys. Tell us what you think!”
