Halo Reach Creepy Pasta --------------------------------------------------------------- We said We'd find the Legendary ending, and now my best friend is dead. Me and my friend are avid players of the Xbox 360 game Halo: Reach, we both preordered and have the Flaming helmet, but what we found would haunt us even more than the haunted helmet. Even to this moment I feel bad making Halo jokes but I'm sure somwhere in hell my friend is laughing with me..Anyway, I'm currently trying to fight off the tears here, anywho, I digress. Let's get onto the story.. So it was 1 AM, and we had a crate of beer, so we popped Halo: Reach into the diskdrive and plugged in the USB Handsets, Intro, y'know. Basic deal..Campaign, we slapped on all the skulls, we were going for an all nighter. Legendary was hard but it was only 10 AM (Yes, Only) before we hit the endgame, but I've gotta tell you first. We hit all the buttons and read the data pads, And I mean read the data pads, when I said pressed the buttons, I pressed so many -blam!- buttons in that game, I mean, I don't know how many there are in total, but atleast 20, I think, We were all drunk and stuff, I've saved the theater films but, well, the Xbox is..no more. So basically we spent alot of time going these button combos, flying secret Banshees and not to forget the -blam!- Pelican and Phantom egg (it took a long time to jack those bastards) And the easiest one to do was the Club one, Lol, we spent about 30 minuites dancing with those Brutes, Fun times..Anyway once we did that we spent an extra 1 minuite on Lone wolf (All skulls, whaddya expect?) Anyway, After the speech at the end of the game..that's when things got weird, the screen went to black In the middle of the speech and so did the audio, it took us to a screen, and I'm not even kidding, it said "NO" In block text with the auntie dot AI background, then after 7 minuites an icon of the "A" button appeared, along with the text "DON'T YOU DO IT". Anyway, buzzed from the beer we thought "What the hell :)"...Well, I wish we hadn't been so drunk, and tired, because that's when things got -blam!- up..a cutscene started up, it was the missing one from the trailer of Emile with the shotgun, shooting..me and my friend were like "Oh cool, he's back from the dead." How wrong we were. After Emile was shooting his shotgun at the wall for a while and shouting "WHO'S NEXT", after that he froze. me and my friends..and I'll repeat "WHAT THE -blam!-, IS THAT IT? HAHA" But no, if only we'd finished there, and gone to bed...No...We continued to watch, anyway, After about 7 seconds emile's head turned around to the camera.. it looked weird, like, the background and his body were a picture but his head was a 3d model..then, his hands came up from the bottom of the screen and pulled off his helmet, to show a decomposing human face, not a 3d model like you'd expect, a photorealistic image, me and my friend were shocked. Unable to look away from the screen, we continued..scared. Anyway, the mouth began to move, "WHAT DID YOU DO" Said a horrible HORRIBLE voice, I would describe it but I can't describe a voice so horrible it could make you vomit, yes, I threw up, I guess it was the beer and the freaky picture. I stood up and shouted "THIS IS CRAZY -blam!-, MAN, I'M OUTTA HERE" And tried to turn off the Xbox, but, the touch pad wouldn't work on my brand new Xbox 360 slim. My friend stood up and grabbed me, he shouted "NO MAN, WE COULD BE FAMOUS, WE COULD BE THE ONLY PEOPLE TO SEE THIS, SIT DOWN, MAYBE IT'S ONE OF BUNGIE'S CRAZY JOKES" Anyway, I sat down, I don't know why, I mean, I just saw a decomposing face with bugs crawling around in it..Anyway, After that face just stared at us, we decided to click some buttons, anyway. after I Pressed the X button three times, the face started to fall away...and fall apart, it was so realistic, I began to cry, I hid it from my friend, but I was crying a river.. After the face was gone just leaving a photorealistic skull, the screen slowly, over a couple seconds (I know there's alot of details, but no matter how drunk or tired I was this whole event just shocked me so much, I felt sober somehow, anywho) the screen was black for a while, I swore I heard some -blam!- up sounds but it could me my mind.. Anyway. Once we looked at the black screen for a while my friend started laughing "This is just a -blam!- up joke..haha" He said, sounded like he was kidding himself.. Once again, I felt uneasy, but decided to press some buttons, I clicked the X button, and the screen started to light up a little, I clicked it seven times, knowing Bungie's obsession with 7, and amazingly, there it was, a secret level.. A room that looked like a barn, or a shed, we were off split screen and only Player one (Me) could control the player, I was holding a shotgun and had no grenades or Armor ability..I started to walk around, it was realistic, red wood walls, with hay on the ground and a tractor in the corner, I went to the tractor and a message came up "HOLD X TO DIE" We were slightly shocked, but thought it would be funny to click it, so anyway we pressed the x button and bam, black screen, I thought my Xbox had died, but no, a picture of Noble Six looking out at a desert without a helmet showed, he looked like he was thinking, standing, the image was static, but you could hear the sound of wind or somthing. then, suddenly, the sound of gunfire sounded, and the sky of the desert started to get dark and depressing, morbid. anyway, Elite bodies started fading in in the background, creepy, but not scary, then suddenly, Noble Six started bleeding, from his back, his legs, his feet. and then a black screen, but then, just when we thought it was all over and we could finaly sleep, an image popped up, it was the "ASS" error from Halo 2. We started laughing, we felt safe now, we knew it was a joke put in by Bungie, but no. that's when the sound started playing. The sound of sombody softly crying, slight crying, nothing loud or scary, but then a picture appered on the screen, two red eyes. dots, and then it slowly faded in, and what we saw was funny but scary, it was a hyper realistic Grunt, just looking at us..my friend pulled out his phone and snapped some pictures, sadily that phone is now evidence in a suicide, anyway, the Grunt was crying, softly, into the camera, then an Energy Sword cut down the screen, the gore..the guts, I was in awe, and not the good kind, we saw all the grunts guts, the insides were so realistc, we screamed, but just couldn't stop looking. that was when the Grunt looked at us and spoke..while it was dead, back in the same voice as before.."WELL, YOU FOUND IT" At that moment my friend stood up, well, that's when things get -blam!- up.. my friend grabbed the Xbox and smashed it up, he pulled it off the counter and smashed that thing to -blam!-, he stamped on it untill it was broken up, I was pissed since it was a brand new console, but still, I could understand, I'd just seen hell. Once he smashed it up he grabbed the sharpest thing in the broken pile of peices (the smashed, jagged outer plastic case) and cut his wrists. I grabbed him and tried to stop him, but at that point all I could do was phone an ambulance, anyway, once I did he had ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife...well, the outcome wasn't pretty, he stabbed himself in the torso like that Japanese suicide thing, anyway, I tried to stop the bleeding....Basicly, once the ambulance arived he was already dead, and I just sat there and sobbed..
