Twas the day before Hallows Eve, in a land your eyes would not believe. For the story you are about to be told, took place with the spirit of cold.
It was the day before Halloween today, now normally Jack wasn't this excited for holidays. But there were two things about Halloween he liked. One, it was one of few holidays that had constant pranks, his favorite part of Halloween celebration, and two, it was the one time of the year when people were able to see spirits. The one day of the year where Jack could actually be acknowledged by people.
Jack was flying through the wind enjoying the breeze smiling, thinking about the next day when he'd be able to actually be seen by the people around him, when he suddenly looked up and saw multicolored lights brightening the sky. Mortals would see it as the northern lights. However, to people like Jack, the Guardians of Childhood, it was a signal for the Guardians to gather at the headquarters for the Guardians, the north pole.
Jack just sighed and changed direction towards the north pole wondering what it was this time.
When he arrived, he could hear shouting from the Globe Room. "Are you sure that's what he said? It just doesn't make sense. Why would the man in the moon want Skellington! That man is crazy! He even tried to take over Christmas in case you forgot! For all we know, he's going for Easter next." Jack entered the room and North stopped as he was about to say something then turned towards Jack and walked up to him. "Ah, Jack my boy! Glad you finally made it." Jack looked around the room to see the faces of Tooth, Sandy and Bunny, none of which looked as excited as North. "What's going on North?" Jack asked with curiosity at their grim looks.
It was Bunny who spoke up. "It seems, the Man in the Moon told North that Pitch is back. And worse yet, the Man in the Moon chose a new guardian, Skellington." As he said that name he shifted with slight nervousness as if someone was going to pop out and attack him. North boomed out "You just don't like him cause those kids he sent after me kidnapped you when they thought you were me. Jack suddenly got confused. Bunny furthered that confusion as he said "Do you not remember that he kidnapped you and left you with that giant sack of bugs!?" Bunny seemed really angry at this point. "Woah, what's going on you guys? Who's Skellington?" Jack questioned. Bunny looked to Jack. "You seriously don't know?" Jack shook his head.
Bunny sighed. "He's the figure that represents Halloween. He tried taking over Christmas a while back. That day was dark, kids expected toys from North but got possessed dolls, shrunken heads, man-eating snakes and wreaths with teeth. It was terrible."
North quickly spoke up. "That's true but don't forget he also came back after he was shot down and got rid of Boogie and released me. Thanks to that I could fix Christmas." Bunny just got angrier. "How can you defend him!? He is evil!" North suddenly came closer to bunny and loomed over him. Which caused Bunny to get very nervous. "He meant good. He just didn't do good." And with that North returned to the meeting table. "Now. Good or no, the man in moon said we need to collect Skellington. So that is what we do." North then got a snow globe from his coat and threw forward and a portal of swirling white grains opened revealing an entrance threw space and time that led to someone that could not be seen yet.
"Jack. Bunny. You two go and fetch Skellington. The rest of us have to secure the HQ in case Pitch attacks." And with that North and the others left. When Jack looked at Bunny, he could have sworn Bunny was actually afraid. However Bunny just decided to jump through and Jack followed.
When they arrived, Jacks eyes had to adjust. Wherever they were, it was dark. When his eyes adjusted he could see where they were. A graveyard. When he looked around he saw a pumpkin patch not far, a forest behind him and ahead was a town that looked like it came straight from a horror movie. When he looked back at the pumpkin patch, he though he was seeing things when it looked like a jack-o-lantern opened its mouth and smiled and when he saw a swirling hill. And as he got up he heard Bunny. "Oh I hate this place. Come on Jack, let's get Skellington and get out as fast as possible." With that he started walking towards the town. Jack followed behind him.
They arrived at a gate which was wide open and proceeded past it. The town seemed empty, like a ghost town. Then they heard voices. A lot of them. They were coming from a large building that had a sign outside saying 'town hall'. Bunny stopped at the door and gulped. Then he pushed it open. The sight inside it was horrifying, Jack saw all sorts of horrifying creatures. A razor toothed clown on a unicycle, a lady stitched from cloth, a living tree with hung skeletons, a slime covered fish man and so many more that there were too many to count. And directly ahead on the stage of the eerie hall was a skeleton taller than any other and wore a bat bow-tie and pinstripe suit.
Everyone went silent and looked towards Jack and Bunny. The tall skeleton on the stage looked at Bunny and his face lit up like Christmas as he smiled widely. (How does a skeleton smile?)
The skeleton spoke in a voice that was not all that frightening but rather warm, "Well my my, if it isn't the Easter Bunny. Welcome to Halloween town. What brings you here?" Then he noticed Jack and said still smiling "And who's your friend here?"
Bunny cursed under his breath and said "Skellington..."
