All Heroes Called to the BADGE Orbital Space Station. Come in Costume!!

“HEROES, WE HAVE A CODE RED SITUATION ON THE STATION. GET HERE NOW! SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN MUST BE STOPPED!” - Director Nova

It is time for the Tricking to be stopped and the Treating to begin. The Spirit of Halloween has been summoned and has done his best to bring everyone on the BADGE Headquarters an unhealthy dose of fear. Fear the heroes got a taste of while at League Wars: Haunted Heroes. What if it is able to get back to Earth and release its arsenal of horrors on the peoples of the world?

I've heard some comments made on the fearful experiences some heroes have encountered.

• The Sword of Gerraxia found her boyfriend, James Keebler, dead in her arms.
• New heroine Astra envisioned herself once again being experimented on by unknown fiends.

The list goes on and on. Every individual on board the Space Arena encountered nightmarish apparitions which chilled them to the bone. Several of the staff-members on the food courts claimed having limb-severing encounters with restaurant-grade pieces of equipment. Many large serpents were reported to have slithered out of urinals and toilets as custodians tried to keep restrooms clean and sanitized. 

Images worse that those seen in horror movies plagued the leagues. Did the Avengers experience total losses in each division? Had WMD - Black Order members cope with see themselves defeated by the Purple Onion?  Were the Horsemen lost in the desert on an emu with no name? Did the 5th Precinct organization envision full defunding of their pension plans? Were the Creatures of the Night placed in eternal sunshine?

There is only one hero who is known as the Man with No Fear, and he isn't in this universe.

As shuttles begin to fly over to the BADGE orbital space station, I can't imagine one hero that doesn't have a personal grudge to take out on the Spirit of Halloween. Give me a ray gun and I'd even be happy to take my shots at the orange trickster and turn it into pumpkin spice.

The porch light is on and the door is unlocked. You don't even have to knock. Come on in.
