In the fight against another resurrected Oogie Boogie;
"You three! What have you done?" The mayor yelled at us as our mobile bathtub moved into the scene. We were confused and looked at Shock who looked offended.
"What are you looking at me for? I didn't resurrect Oogie!" She exclaimed- the look on her face was a dead giveaway, we knew each other too much.
"So, what now? Join him or fight him?" Barrel asked and we both whipped our heads to face the pilot of our bathtub.
"Fight."
"Fight."
"Yeah, it would be boring if we were on his side again. Let's mix it up" Barrel responded with a nod and we all got out and stood a fighting stance.
"This is the first time right?" I heard Barrel ask.
"Yeah" Replied Shock. I grinned on my devilish face.
"Then let's make it a fight Halloween Town would never forget" I said and attacked Oogie Boogie, our master, our savior, our murderer, our only parent in the world.
The others followed soon. Shock flew on her broomstick and started to chant. Barrel, being a ghoul, attacked with an out-of-the-blue ghoul axe, slashing at Oogie. And I, being the devil that I am, used dark arts to attack him.
I had made marks all around his body and used my powers. "Dark Stinger-" I muttered and red streaks of flames traced the circles. A figure of yellow light in the form of my tail hovered above the marks. "-Pins of Hell" I muttered again and the yellow light stabbed on the marks like a dart to the bulls eye. When both of our attacks (Shock was still chanting) contacted with Oogie, he finally seemed to notice our presence (Or at least Barrel and I) and shifted focus from destruction to the town to us.
He started laughing. "Bwahaha. What's this? Did my boys finally grown the balls to fight their master? Oh my, have you grown! Tell me, where is Shockie dearest?" He said in a monologue as our attacks drew blood from him. It was true. We didn't used to disobey him before, let alone fought him. The only one who would seem to fight was Shock, but that was only defending me or/and Barrel. It was eight years since his original death, a year later we revived him but after ten resurrections, we stopped.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Shock. "Right here, bastard" she yelled and Oogie looked at her.
"Ah. There you are" he said and lifted his gigantic hand to grab her.
"Oh no, you won't" I said and moved to her rescue but both Barrel and I were swept away by Oogie's other hand like flies.
"Lock, Barrel" Shock yelled to us in her worry. She looked at Oogie with her eyes suddenly glowing. "Go back to hell" She said which made Oogie laugh. She was battling him alone, and all we could have done was lay on the ground. We tried to force ourselves up but just couldn't.
"Shock" I coughed up her name in agony. Is this the end? I closed my eyes but opened it again when I heard Shock's voice.
"λάμπω φως πάνω σου σύμμαχος με τη μεγαλύτερη άνεση, ασφάλεια και χαρά, ενώ κάψει τον εχθρό σου να άβυσσο ως τέτοια φλόγες της κόλασης (Shine light upon thine ally with the greatest comfort, joy and safety whilst burn thine enemy to abyss as such flames of hell)" She said and her eyes glowed brighter. We felt stronger as we heard Oogie scream in agony. I stood up and immediately catched Shock from her fall. She felt unconscious but Oogie wasn't.
"That little tramp!" He exclaimed and tried to attack us.
Barrel suddenly got out a ghoul scepter which he used to control other ghoul weapons. "First Haunting- Horror House" He said and the ghoul weapons slashed, hacked, stabbed Oogie's body. Oogie screamed in agony and bleed even more while I held Shock in my arms.
"Lock, take care of Shock" Barrel yelled at me as he began to attack again. I obliged and held her firm until we were at a safe distance. From there, all I could do was let Shock lay on my lap as Barrel fought our master. I became a little impatient for Shock to regain consciousness and eager to fight.
"Second Haunting- Mad House" Barrel said as the ghoul weapons suddenly spin around and dug into Oogie's flesh. "Third Haunting- Terror Hospital" He said and his ghoul weapons came out of Oogie (It entered from the front and exited at the back), it then stabbed Oogie and a huge amount of weird liquid purred into and overflowed Oogie.
"Heh. Is that all you got? I'm a lot stronger than ever before! Star pupil, fight me with all you've got! That's why I picked that woman to-" Barrel's huge eyes went wide (or wider) at what he was hearing but apparently Shock (still unconscious) wasn't done and her broomstick smacked Oogie and made him stop his sentence.
When I saw Shock's broomstick move, I turned to look at her. She was still unconscious but a few minutes later, she twitched her index finger. Funny thing is that she twitches a body part when her emotions were either extreme or she did an involuntary movement. For example, anger-ear, annoyance- eye, awakening-index finger. Soon enough she woke up but was too weak to fight in my books.
"Stay there" I said and I stood up, ready to join the fight once again. But I was stopped when Shock pulled on the hem of my shirt.
"I want to fight too" she declared quietly. I turned to look at her. She looked weak right now and I didn't want her to get hurt.
"No"
"Why?"
"Because you're too weak right now, I don't want you to get hurt"
"I know a way so that I can fight without actually fighting myself. It's a coward witch's technique but I will do it to win this battle"
"How?"
"Through you"
"And how is that possible?"
"Will you allow me to tap into your powers?"
"Answer me first"
"Lock. I want to fight and right now, this is the only way I know how! That last spell almost took all my magic energy. Please Lock, will you allow me tap into your powers?" She said looking down. She said please to me, me! She sounded desperate. Oh! The things I do for-
"Will you?" She asked again snapping me out of my thoughts. She finally looked up at me. Her purple curls flowed underneath her huge witch hat, her gray eyes pierced my chest, and her beautiful face made me stare. Wait, beautiful? What am I thinking! Shake this thoughts off.
"Fine"
"Thank you"
"So how do we do it?" I asked. Big mistake. She kissed me all of the sudden. Her tongue entered my mouth and I tasted blood from it. She had bit at her tongue until it bleed! She moved my own tongue to be cut by my fang. Her hands were on my neck so that I wouldn't pull away. Once our blood contacted with each other, I felt a power surge through my body. And then she pulled away.
"Go now. I'll be here and here" She said as she pointed at me. I smirked at her blush, my blue lips showing my blood stained fangs. And I went to help Barrel.
"Good for you to join Lock" Oogie said as he staggered on his feet. Barrel began to attack once again. "Second Apparition- Ghoul Scream" he said and opened his mouth to release a horrible wail, good thing I'd covered my ears already. Oogie struggled to stay on his feet.
"Okay Barrel, I'll take care of him" I said to Barrel and he sat down, instantly mocking Oogie in action and manner.
"Hmph. A brat like you can never defeat me alone." Oogie said as he tried to attack Barrel.
"And who said I was alone?"
Oogie's eyes went big from that point on. He was pouring all his power to kill us and he exhausted it on Barrel. "Don't forget. One down, one resting, and one fighting. How can you survive me now?" He said and swung an arm at me. Normally I would be swatted by this (Like earlier) but I blocked it head on and I didn't even moved an inch from my spot.
"Correction. One resting, and two fighting as one" I said and heard Shock's voice in my head.
"Hey, Lock."
"Sup, Shock"
"You're not freaking out about my voice inside your head?"
"I've always had a subconscious that sometimes talks and sounds like you sometimes so I'm not surprised"
"Yeah. Uhm. That was me"
"I'm still not surprised"
"Heck. You're weird"
"Why'd you speak to me again?"
"Oh right! I have a permanent banishment spell that I know. Would you like to use it or the oblivion spell?"
"Oblivion Spell"
"That was quick"
"You want to simply banish Oogie?"
"Fine"
"Okay give it to me straight"
"This is called 'Abyss Intake' okay."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Just do it"
"Kay. Upon the majesty of the tree of life, I entreat the other worlds of this soul. Never shall this spirit ever arise in any dimension, world, or planet. Cease shall this person's last trudge for life. Abolish this person's very essence. Abyss Intake" She said. I didn't notice this, but Barrel told me later on, that while reciting this spell both out of her mouth and in my mind. Her eyes were yellow while her grey irises were glowing. Barrel told me that there was a kind of yellow glow from her which he noticed immediately in the darkness of Halloween Town and it's frozen citizens (Shock froze them earlier to avoid collateral) that was in my figure ( Pointed horns and swaying tail).
"Μετά το μεγαλείο του δέντρου της ζωής, θα παρακαλέσω τους άλλους κόσμους της ψυχής. Ποτέ δεν θα πρέπει αυτό το πνεύμα ποτέ να προκύψουν σε οποιαδήποτε διάσταση, τον κόσμο, ή τον πλανήτη. Σταματάμε θα βαδίζω με κόπο το τελευταίο αυτού του ατόμου για τη ζωή. Κατάργηση ίδια την ουσία αυτού του ατόμου. Άβυσσος εισαγωγής" I said and saw Oogie slowly disappear right before my eyes. I felt air rush up around me and I realized I was falling. I immediately controlled myself and flew to Shock with Barrel gripping on my ankle. She was just there staring at nothing when we got to her.
"Hey, Shock. Hello" Barrel said waving his hands in front of her. For a moment a saw a vision too blurry to identify then I came back to reality.
"Barrel! You're safe. I'm so glad" Shock suddenly said and hugged him. I kind of felt jealous. I just smirked to shake it off.
"Lock. Good, you're still alive" She said nonchalantly. She unfroze the citizens, repaired any damages, healed our wounds, and erased the town's memories. We went after a long period of waiting for her.
