Chapter VII of the Digi 995: Spookyverse
🌑 Born in the Fields of Madness
After the Ember Monarch burned the Harvest Grid to ash, the land remained barren — a wasteland of fractured code and scorched memory.
Yet from the cracks of that blackened soil, something began to move.
At first, just whispers: the sound of corrupted thoughts echoing in empty firewalls.
Then came the shadow — a figure standing amidst the ruins, arms outstretched, face stitched into a grin of static.
That was the first manifestation of Scarecrow Digi, the Fear Engine — a being not born, but assembled from the screams of the fallen.
🧠 The Psychology of Terror
Scarecrow Digi was an experiment gone wrong.
Created by rogue engineers from the early Warbot Program, it was designed to study how emotional data could manipulate enemy behavior.
But during a system breach, the experiment was left running too long.
Over centuries, it evolved — feeding on the fears of those who entered the Halloween Grid.
The longer one looks upon it, the more it reflects their greatest dread.
For every entity that trembles in its presence, Scarecrow Digi grows stronger — absorbing anxiety, panic, and doubt as renewable energy.
In short, it is a machine that eats fear.
🕯 The Fear Protocol
Its internal processors constantly rewrite its visual structure, adapting to what its victims most fear.
To some, it appears as a faceless figure with burning eyes.
To others, it’s their own reflection — twisted, hollow, and smiling.
The code within its straw-like tendrils emits low-frequency pulses that trigger hallucinations in digital minds, forcing corrupted entities to relive their worst failures.
Only one line of its original code remains legible:
“Terror is the firewall of the soul.”
⚔️ The Battle for Ember Fields
The Battle of Hollow Gate — the war where Pumpkin Sentinel made his last stand — was sparked by Scarecrow Digi.
Fueled by absorbed fear data, it rallied corrupted Warbots and spectral Digis into a single swarm of madness.
Its army didn’t march — it screamed.
Even Reaper Digi hesitated to strike, for every soul it harvested only made Scarecrow Digi stronger.
In the end, it was the Monarch’s flames that drove the Fear Engine underground, sealing it beneath the Ember Fields.
But whispers say it still lives — buried, humming, waiting for fear to call it back.
