Terrifying Team Tales

THE MAZE

By Liberty, Phen, and Barbara, The Academy Virtual

My friends and I met at the corn maze. And the corn maze was haunted. We knew it when the ghost flew by we could not run out because we could not find the way. We ran down one path then we ran to another path, with no luck. It was so scary when we turned the next corner, there was a zombie. ''Ahh!'' I said in shocked. I tried to think of a good plan to escape. I look around and my friends were gone then the ghost started to chase me. "HELP!" I yelled terrified. And then one of my friends jumped out of the corn.''Boo''He said ''gotcha!''You scared me ''I said. ''you came at the wrong time'' I said. Then we ran out of the maze. As we were running out, a zombie chased us back in to the maze. At the end of the path the ghost, was there then they both charged at me. My friends pulled me in the corn and all my friends were there.''We got to get out of here''! My friends said. Wait I have a plan we can run through the maze hahahahahaha the gost is right behind us. We jumped in the car and drove away as fast as we could!

The Aku's Revenge

By Taeson, Cameron, Mackenzie, and Mrs. Witters, The Academy Virtual

I decided to take my class camping on Halloween. As I was talking to my students in the back I almost run over a bear but it was a really tall bear but its fine. We swerved and hit a rock then flipped. The car flipped 10 times, then landed on a small ledge. I saw a flashlight and I thought we were saved but it was actually the yellow glowing eyes of the bear and it started to walk closer. We all screamed and passed out. After waking up, we thought we saw a white object float by. And it looked like the bear brought a friend or not because they started fighting. The bear dug its claws into the brick saw monster to stop it in its tracks. He picked up the saw monster and threw him off the cliff, then he got hungry. However in the commotion the class was able to leave the woods but the bear wasn't going to give up on its prey that easily. It yelled a mighty Roar and summoned its snake friends. The snakes are fast and very deadly. They slithered super fast, too. The snakes quickly hunted down the children and set their backpacks on fire. The bear sees the smoke and lung to it. The children got eaten by the bear but the teacher got away. The teacher grabbed a branch and used it as a sword to push the bear over the ledge, too. The bear broke the branch with a single scratch the bear decided to toy with its prey. But the teacher was able to call 911. The animal control arived and trancalized the bear but the bear did not go to sleep. The snakes came behind the animal control and set them on fire eating what they could. The snakes jumped on the teacher then exsplodes. All of a sudden, the teacher revives and sees Grimmace running through the woods toward them! The bear ate Grimace in one bite caught in mumbling something like pathetic. the teacher tried to escape again but she was stopped by the Aku cyclone! Smruf Cat came out of no where and started to play, ❤️ We Live❤️ We Love ❤️ We Lie ❤️ while walking around. Grimmace revived, after hearing that lovely song, and started doing the moonwalk. The Aku Cyclone saw this as an opportunity ripping the bodies like crackers. And eating their souls and then commanded the bear to give him the souls he stole. The ground started to crack and shake, it was Godzilla. Smurf cats comes back alive and starts griddying across the world. He finds Godzilla and kills him and then goes and griddys on his grave. Thor, the god of thunder, does the macarena and starts using his hammer to cause earthquakes everywhere. Lord of Ruin Jagando has been summoned since the Aku Cyclone has so many souls to offer. Now Jagando must break the gates between Aku in the living world which he has already begun to do. Eren Yeager's founding Titan got summoned and flated a quarter of the earth. The hero comes out of no where and no one expects it to be MR.CLEAN, He comes and saves the word from being detroyed. He is a million feet tall and uses a magic plunger to WIPE OUT the bad guys! Jagando had Break the Barrier so all of his henchmen could attack Mr Clean. His two most powerful henchmen and Eren Yeager we're able to take Mr Clean down. Eren Yeager summoned ancant titans to attack Mr.Clean. Smurf Cat and Mr. Clean came up with a plan to attack. Lord of ruins summoned all the people who had died feeding on the negative energy to charge up a giant beam of energy from his mouth it would take time to build up so we told his henchmen and Eren Yeager to protect him. Eren Yeager summoned more and more titans to defend the lord of ruins. Mr. Clean and Smurf Cat snuck past the titans to get to Lord of Ruins by dancing the moonwalk. But they accidentally killed one of his followers that looked like him then Lord of Ruin charge up his laser beam destroying the earth and the entire universe and becoming immortal. Now theres is nothing but darkness.

Train Ride Through the Milky Way Express

By Taeson, The Academy Virtual

Back at it again at the Stardust Academy. Today as I was getting on the Milky Way Express, I saw one of my top students and it looked like they were only sitting one cart away from me. I decided to say hi to him, but as I did he rolled his eyes and shrugged at me and as his teacher I took it kind of personally. To take my mind off of it, I decided to read one of my audiobooks when the snack cart lady came around. “Hello! Hello! What would you like to eat? We have new and exclusive sour black hole cookies.” “I'll take one pack thank you.” As the snack cart lady went to my student she asked. “Where’s your parent”. “Oh I'm riding alone”. “Well do you have a kids badge?” “A what?” “A kid's badge. If you don't have one I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop you off”. “I'm responsible for him,” I yelled out. “Okay next time sit next to your parental guardian,” she said as the snack cart lady seated my student next to me. “Sorry I shrugged at you, it's just that I'm worried I might get a bad score on this test”. I took a moment to think and I said, “I think I can help you out, but first black hole cookie”. He smiled and we worked on his test for the rest of the train ride.

My Haunted House Adventure

By Zac, Jadon, and Mrs. Witters, The Academy Virtual

As I walked up to the door, I felt a little scared. And I opened the door, and I saw a dog. It was a friendly dog who just wants to play. The dog started following me, but I heard a loud sound. It was a monster and I felt surprised. We ran and did a scooby-doo monster chase sequence. All of a sudden, I realized the dog following me was the one and only Scooby Doo! I felt surprised that Scooby Doo had arrived. The monster was finally caught, and it turned out to be a person inside a monster costume just trying to scare people for fun.

My Life as a Scarecrow

By Jadon, The Academy Virtual

If I was a scarecrow coming alive for one day, I would run to the crows to scare them off. I would like to meet people for those who are interested in scarecrows. I would go trick or treating and pretend I’m just a kid in a costume. I would guard the corn fields to have it prepared for the corn maze, like a castle guard. Lastly, I would get lunch somewhere that is scarecrow oriented, like corn chowder.
