MPC Name: Wild Card/ House of Haunting MPC Number: 78X / 55BReward Requested: Bits Wandering through the darkness of a new moon, Mandrake and Lothar were seeking shelter from a sudden windy downpour. LJ was snuggled in the depths of Lothar's bag as if trying to escape the storm so he was much drier than his parents. Both Mandrake and Lothar were shivering as they snuggled together as an attempt to find some warmth. If they didn't find shelter soon they would likely all become sick. As they made their way through the darkness it seemed mother nature decided to have a laugh at the family's expense as small sharp hailstones started falling along with the fierce downpour of rain. LJ squeaked in fright at the sound of the hail hitting Lothar's bag. Safe to say the little digimon wasn't eager to peek out of the bag at the current time. Lothar squinted into the darkness as he and Mandrake tried to snuggle closer together and managed to catch sight of a large dark building. "Mandrake there is some kind of building ahead. Maybe we can seek shelter there."
Mandrake squinted as he caught sight of the building but just barely seeing as Lothar had the ability to see in the dark being a feline and all. He reached out with his telepathic senses picking up the mental signatures of two digimon in that direction. "I sense two digimon in the direction of the house. One can only hope they'll allow us shelter for the night."Word Count: 242

Howling at the moon she was indeed having a blast. If anything Yara was loving this weather. Ice and water covered in darkness and the only light being the moonlight. One could say this was epic to say the least. As she had nothing but thrills in such a condition. Running freely as Ghost was busy sleeping nearby. She would be darn to sleep doing such a nightly event. Her howls could be heard far and wide as she was running around in circles. Yet it was as if she dissappeared with the rain and ice. As it covered her fur and what not. She would be jumping from building to building but just what was she doing?.
Nearby Ghost would be in a small building sleep next to a comfy fire he made. As he had a big day a head of him. All that training surely had him beat. Meanwhile Yara would look to the moon yet again as she made it to the top of a nearby building to let out a strong howl.

The family of three slowly made their way to the building that they saw and soon the building was identifiable as an old mansion sitting on a hill. If not for the crazy storm both Mandrake and Lothar might have found the old mansion more ominious. The unfamiliar mental signatures were coming from within the mansion itself but Mandrake and Lothar made their way up the hill and to the front door of the mansion. The stoop right before the door was offering them some cover from the storm except for the cold and biting wind. Walking up to the door Mandrake politely knocked. The sound of the knocking caused LJ to peek out of Lothar's bag to see what was going on.
Shortly before Mandrake knocked on the door a figure was sitting in his study with a book in hand. When the door was knocked on he set his book on an adjacent table and stood up the light of the study's fireplace revealing the digimon to be a SkullSatamon and just outside the study stood a Guardromon, which was a curious sight indeed considering he was the butler of SkullSatamon himself. "It seems we have company, Guardromon. Why don't we let the poor things in out of the storm." SkullSatamon said as he gathered up his staff with a creepy glint in his blood red eyes.
"As you wish, sir." The Guardromon said with a deep mechanical voice as he walked for the front door with SkullSatamon just behind. Meanwhile, outside with Mandrake, Lothar, and LJ the door swung open and they saw a SkullSatamon edge his way past his Guardromon servant before the undead digimon said "My! My! It's been a long time since anyone has come to this old mansion of mine. What brings you here?"
Though SkullSatamon sounded welcoming and friendly there was something funny about him that neither Mandrake or Lothar could place. Mandrake stepped up and said "We were only hoping to find a place to seek shelter from this storm. If it's to much trouble we can always move on."
"Don't be silly. I could always use the company if only a night since I don't get visitors very often." SkullSatamon's gaze fell on Lothar's bag as LJ squeaked in fright and dove back in the bag. "Oh dear, I didn't mean to frighten the little one. I guess my form can be intimidating for children that young." SkullSatamon said as he stepped backward and said "Please come in. Guardromon will escort you to a guest room."
Mandrake and Lothar entered the mansion with LJ softly whimpering from inside Lothar's bag. Guadromon then began to lead them through the mansion to one of the guest rooms. Entering the room both Mandrake and Lothar noticed that despite the room not having a window it had various things one would find in a bedroom including a bed suited for couples as well as an adjacent bathroom. As Lothar set his bag on the floor, he reached in for LJ. The purple Punimon fussed a bit but did little else. Figuring they would go about drying off Mandrake and Lothar headed for the bathroom looking for towels to do the job.

Yara was in a panic as the moon was hiding behind the clouds. The dark stormy clouds how cruel. Nothing ever seems to go to plan do it. She would think to herself. Just then she would leap to the tallest building trying to get as high as she can to the moon. Even though she could see right through the clouds most could not. Looking back down and over to Ghost way. She would give a nod as he was still sound asleep. As her ears allowed her to hear thing so far and wide. Looking on she would she that giant house on top of the hill. This gave her an ides of what to do. Seeing as the high made the house oh so high it was the closet thing to the moon around this place.
Soon her wolf like pride would get the best of her. As she zoomed over to Ghost. Checking on her Tamer once more. Before she headed off to the mansion. Soon enough she would zoom her way across the streets. Making it to the hill top in no time. As her legs gave her super speed. She would look on as she started to smell around. Thinking it smelled of Mandrake and Lothar but that could not be the case. Soon she would jump over the gate and made her way to the top of the mansion and mere moment's. Soon enough she would start to howl at the night sky yet again. As if the moon was going to come out. Her howls would echo all over the mansion indeed.

Now dry both Mandrake and Lothar came out of the bathroom. Not only had they found towels but, surprisingly, a hair dryer. Both of which made getting dry a simple task. Walking over to the bed Lothar attempted to set LJ on the bed only for the fresh digimon to fuss and hop back into one of his hands. "What's gotten into you, LJ? I'm just going to set you down for a moment." Lothar said as LJ whimpered and hopped up Lothar's arm snuggling into his bicep.
"It seems LJ is just as uncomfortable with SkullSatamon being around as we are, Lothar." Mandrake said but before Lothar could reply a wolf howl was heard above them from the roof of the mansion. Mandrake felt something familiar about the presence and opened up his telepathic senses. His eyes widened as he realized that Yara was on the roof but where was Ghost. It seemed odd for her to leave the tamer alone. "Lothar, it seems Yara is on the roof of the mansion but I can't sense Ghost's presence nearby."
"What would she be doing out in that weather on a moonless night like this?" Lothar asked as he ran one of his clawed fingers between LJ's feelers in an attempt to soothe their son.
"I don't know but I'll reach out to her telepathically to find out." Mandrake said as he opened his mind reaching out to Yara before he telepathically asked 'Yara, why are you out here in this dreadful weather and where is Ghost?'

Yara was touching up to see the moon tonight. As she really wanted it to come out. Yet it wae nowhere to be seen well mostly that was. Looking on she would hear a voice come inside her head. Not too many come have got in so easily. Unless it was Ghost but if not him then who? None other then Mandrake. Yara would hear what he had to say to her as a smile came around her face. " This weather is perfect for training more importantly for relaxing and having fun. You should come out and enjoy it with me. On top of that Ghost is good he is sleeping right now. So I decided I will do a little rnr you know. But it is fancy seeing you out here. Where is Lothar and are you guys doing Well?" Yara would ask this question as she haven't seen her friends in quite some time.
Back with Ghost he would be holding his digivice in his hand as it was glowing. Not realizing what was about to happen as he was about to make Yara dedigivovle. But that was not the right time to do such a thing.

It would seem that Mandrake was able to reach Yara and Mandrake turned to Lothar and said "She said that she's out training though I can't fathom how anyone could find this weather enjoyable."
"In her armor form she doesn't seem bothered by nasty weather which means Ghost is obviously near." Lothar replied as in response to Mandrake's statement.
"She also said Ghost is sleeping right now. I'll reopen the mind link." Mandrake said as he reopened the mind link to communicate with Yara. 'Lothar is fine. He's in the mansion with me. As for coming outside, no offense I'm not one for training in such weather conditions.' Mandrake said telepathically to Yara.
Meanwhile it seemed SkullSatamon was quietly giving orders to Guardromon that were given through use of sign language. Only they knew what was going on and just what did it mean for Mandrake, Lothar, and LJ? Did it spell trouble for Yara as well?

Yara would look on as she was busy talking to ManDrake that she had no idea what was about to happen. As she slid down the roof of the mansion by jumping off of it. Right in the middle of the air she would dedigivovle back into Lunamon as she fly out of the air. This was a bit of surprise as she and Ghost both was a full power. As she wonder why he would do such a thing at such a time. Looking on she would crash into the ground. As she was in the daze right in front of the Mansion door. Just then the loud boom would cause the butler to come and see what was going on.
By then Mandrake would have heard Yara small Scream in his mind. But if he would have went to go look Yara would be gone.
Note: Sleeping Ghost subconscious depower Yara. Yara was taken inside a room in the manison

Mandrake heard Yara's mental scream alright just as his link was abruptly broken. Stumbling backwards and clutching his head with a pained moan was all Lothar needed to be spurred into action. Gently placing LJ on the bed and after messaging the scared Punimon's feelers, he went to Mandrake's side. "Mandrake, are you alright? What happened?" Lothar asked gently as he reached around with one beefy arm to pull Mandrake into a gentle hug. While these two weren't the most publicly demonstrative when it came to showing their affection for one another since they started dating. Privately was another matter.
LJ whimpered and squeaked as Mandrake messaged his temples to will away the pain before he said "Something has happened to Yara causing the sudden break in my telepathic link."
"Could she have injured herself?" Lothar asked as he just as gently released his grip on Mandrake.
"I don't know, old friend. I, for one, intend to find out though." Mandrake said as he made his way to the door of the room.
Meanwhile, outside the room, it seemed there was another visitor that night. However, SkullSatamon would deal with the stranger outside since Guardromon was given his silent orders. The fearsome undead digimon made his way outside the mansion where he spotted a Lunamon on the ground. "What is this now? It seems I have another visitor." SkullSatamon said in an unnervingly friendly tone as he reached down to pick up Yara by the scruff of her neck. "A little one like you should not be out in such weather so come inside, I insist." he said next. Though it seemed Yara didn't have a choice since he probably would of dragged her in even if she refused. Soon she was carried through the doors of the mansion.
Back with Mandrake, Lothar, and LJ it seemed that the door to their room was locked. Not that being locked in would contain either Mandrake or Lothar for long since they both had a means of dealing with a wooden door. "It seems we're locked in. I don't like this. I think we should get out of here and track down Yara before we escape from this mansion." Mandrake said as he readied to unlock the door telekinetically.
However it seemed such a brilliant escape was not meant to be because just outside the door Guardromon had lifted a hidden panel near the door and activated a hidden switch. Inside the room the effects of the machine digimon's actions became apparent as a numbing pulse traveled swiftly across the floor causing both Mandrake and Lothar to lose all feeling in their muscles and collapse in to the floor. LJ squeaked in fright as it seemed he was unaffected since he had been sitting on the bed.
Apparently not all muscle control was lost just most of it as both Mandrake and Lothar realized that they could move nothing from below their necks as they looked in the direction of their frightened child. Little LJ had tears pooling in his eyes as he seemed to be contemplating hopping down to his parents. "No, LJ don't hop down to the floor! If you do you won't be able to move at all." Lothar exclaimed causing the purple Punimon to stop but the child look at his parents with a whimpered sob. LJ being a slime digimon would have been completely immobilized since he was basically only a body with eyes and a mouth.
Meanwhile, outside the room, Guardromon had deactivated the pulse that paralyzed Mandrake and Lothar. The effects of the pulse would last for several minutes which was plenty of time for what was planned for them. Guardromon then walked over to the door and unlocked it before moving into the room. Since Mandrake was not far from the door he was painfully shoved as the door swung open. LJ softly whimpered and went for the closest hiding place he could find which was behind one of the pillows on the bed. Guadromon gazed around the room only spotting Mandrake and Lothar. Apparently this machine digimon lacked any specialized scanners which was fortunate for LJ. Coming up behind Mandrake he roughly lifted him into a sitting position before he asked "Where is the child? Speak!" Okay maybe ask was to generous a term as it came off as more of a demand as the Guardromon seemed to be trying to force the information from Mandrake.
"Neither I or Lothar will tell you anything. If you want his location you'll have to figure it out for yourself." Mandrake snarled though it swiftly became a pained yelp as Guardromon squeezed his shoulder painfully almost breaking it. LJ was peering from his hiding place eyes wide with horror as tears were streaming down his face. He clenched his eyes shut not wanting to watch the scary machine digimon torture his parents for his location.
Figuring the child could be found later Guadromon glared down at Mandrake before lifting him up over one shoulder. Both the Wizardmon and Leomon he was ordered to deal with wouldn't be immobile for long. Mandrake hung like a limp rag his hat falling to the floor while Guardromon proceeded to hoist Lothar over his other shoulder. The sturdy machine digimon made his way through the mansion soon arriving in what appeared to be a hidden laboratory. It felt like something out of a horror movie which caused both an unsettled feeling to travel through both Mandrake and Lothar. Guardromon walked over to one wall where shackles were attached to the wall. After unceremoniously dropping both Mandrake and Lothar he proceeded to lift Mandrake into a sitting position before he shackled the magician to the wall before doing the same to Lothar. He then moved slightly aside but stayed close enough to some of the ominous machines.

Skullsatamon held Yara down tightly. As she came too and slowly open her eyes. As she did she would notice she was moving yet this grip was not a kind one. Yara was not in a good state of mind as she wished she listen to her Tamer. When he said not to go out and stray away. This was all too much for her to take in. Skullstatmon was moving in a slow motion yet fast type of way. As if he was planing something on her. Either way it goes shes was dead scared as she could not sense Mandrake and Lothar. This lead her to believe that he must have eaten them and she was next.
Yara tried her best to get away and wiggle hard as she did. But she still she had no way to get away. Without her next forms to say the least. Yelling out loud. 'GHOST WHERE ARE YOUUUUU!!" Meanwhile back at Ghost Building. He was sound asleep with his digivice in his hand until it rolled out as he let it go.

SkullSatamon continued on walking and when Yara started yelling he lifted her to his eye level before he said "No reason to throw such a fit little one. I am merely bringing you to my other guests. By now my servant has brought them to where we're going." He then chuckled as he lowered her but didn't carry her any more gently than before as he continued walking. Soon they arrived at a heavy wooden door which SkullSatamon swung open effortlessly with his free hand.
By this time Mandrake and Lothar had regained their movement but since they were shackled to the wall they couldn't stand up never mind fight unless Mandrake put his knack for escape artistry to work. The two of them stared in shock at the sight of Yara dangling in SkullSatamon's grip. However, Mandrake didn't sense Ghost nearby still. "Guardromon, look for the child that came with the Wizardmon and Leomon. The poor thing must be worried sick." SkullSatamon said with a cruel smirk as he proceeded to chain Yara to a chair that sat next to where Mandrake and Lothar were shackled. Guardromon bowed and left the room to search for LJ.

As Yara eyes grew bigger. She truly was at a lost for words. As he eyed her and said what he said. She knew something was off as her sense is usually right on the money. Looking on at the Skullstatmon as he opened up the door. Yara would be in shock to see that ManDrake and Lothar was there. Looking on Yara was set up in the chair and chained as well. She was still in disbelief at what was going on. As she was no where near Ghost but she still could contact him. But he might not be able to pick up. If only she had mind talking powers like Mandrake.
Looking over at them she would start to talk in her wippy voice. "Umm oh umm I just can't stop thinking. Umm oh umm hey Lothar can you just break out of here I'm scared." She did in fact hear child they came with and must started to cry even more. " If only I listen to Ghost and now they've taken him how cruel."

The SkullSatamon was standing not far away tending to some machines that gave both Mandrake and Lothar the creeps. Mandrake doubted any of them wanted to know what they were used for. As Yara mentioned how she was scared Mandrake and Lothar both thought of their son. Of course Yara wouldn't know that LJ was their child since he was born after their adventures in the Northern Prominence.
Lothar seemed to consider her words as he was straining with all his might to free himself but it seemed a fruitless endeavor as the shackles hadn't budged an inch. Without looking at his prisoners, SkullSatamon said "Brute strength won't be enough to get any of you free since those chains are chrome digizoid. So I suggest you just accept there is no escape." SkullSatamon's false friendliness was starting to grate on Lothar's nerves and it was obvious by the soft growl that was rumbling in the back of his throat.
Meanwhile, Guardromon was wondering the halls looking for LJ and since there were plenty of places a small frightened child could hide in this mansion the hunt could take awhile. Then an idea entered the machine digimon's head as he went back to the room Mandrake and Lothar previously occupied. LJ was still hiding behind the pillow too frightened to move from that spot until his parents returned. When he heard Guardromon's heavy footsteps enter the room he yelped in fright despite trying to be quiet. Guardromon moved with speed which seemed unreal for such a young digimon like LJ to believe. Next thing LJ knew he was snatched up in one of Guadromon's hands causing the young one to begin crying loudly in fear. Target aquired, Guardromon headed back to the laboratory where SkullSatamon was.
Back with everyone else Mandrake had begun using his telekinesis on to unlock the shackles binding him to the wall and as he turned his attention to try to free either Lothar or Yara SkullSatamon swung his staff catching Mandrake in the stomach knocking the wind out of the clever magician. As Mandrake tried to recover a second blow from the staff sent Mandrake sprawling on his back with SkullSatamon using his staff to pin him there. "What is this now. A little escape artist, huh? Just how far did you think you would have gotten even with the others? To think I allowed you to come into my mansion." SkullSatamon said with a smirk.
"Enough of your false niceties, SkullSatamon! It's obvious you mean ill will to us and likely anyone who you allow into this mansion." Mandrake snapped turning a harsh glare at the undead digimon pinning him down.
Guardromon entered the room at that time and to Mandrake's and Lothar's horror was holding LJ roughly so the little digimon had no room to wiggle around. However there were splotches of rainbow colored paint littered around the machine digimon's torso. Though LJ's cries were heart wrenching to normal folks it seemed SkullSatamon was amused by them as he then said "Well it looks like everyone has been assembled. A spirited little lad this one though I've never seen a purple Punimon before." Mandrake and Lothar, though effectively restrained, began to struggle as if to get to their distressed child.

Yara still could not get out of her chains. Tried as she might it was useless to do. Looking around to see the machines everywhere this left a series of bad things going through her mind. Yara could only hope Ghost would wake up and notice she was missing. If not it would be game over. But then she had an idea. Seeing as she was so close to ManDrake she would began to use her ears to touch his hand. By doing so she would enable him to speak to Ghost by linking each member minds together. If she could digivovle. Her new form would not be able to match her current form chains.
This seemed to get even crazier as she looked on and seen a small in training digimon. Yara was indeed shock as to how they could by such a digimon and asumed they kidnapped him. Thinking to her self that maybe ManDrake would get the idea. As in this state she was to scared to even talk. But by looking at her friends she got the feeling they knew that baby digimon all to well.
Note Yara placed her ear on ManDrake to boost his mind link to reach Ghost.

"Hmm. Interesting. Judging by how desperate you are to get to this child and his unique color scheme makes only come to one conclusion. This is your child created by your actual data isn't it, Wizardmon and Leomon? Shame this little ones' data is too weak to be very useful to me." SkullSatamon said with his cruel smirk never leaving his face.
"Just what do you mean?" Lothar growled as he strained once again in an attempt to free himself from the chrome digizoid restraints yet such an effort still proved irritatingly futile.
"I've been utilizing the data of the various victims I've invited inside my mansion for various things. Some have powered my various inventions such as my weather machine that I use to create storms to lure potential victims. Others have powered my mansion in general. On rare occasions I absorb the data of digimon with potentially useful abilities to learn them myself." SkullSatamon reached a free hand over to press a button on a nearby computer consul and some kind of scanner came down from the ceiling in front of Mandrake, Lothar, and Yara. "Don't worry the scanning process is quite painless. Can't have potentially useful digimon like yourselves destroyed after all. Look at it this way, if I find your abilities useful they will at least still be put to use."
"Oh wonderful, our abilities may end up in the hands of a cruel monster who will use them to end the lives of others. I feel honored." Mandrake said with a note of biting sarcasm that wouldn't be lost on everyone there. As Mandrake began struggling again he felt Yara brush her ear against his hand. What was she trying to tell him? Did it have something to do with Ghost? Figuring they had nothing to lose Mandrake reached out and gently grabbed hold of Yara's ear nodding as if silently telling her to try what she had in mind.
