The only thing he could think of was killing them. Tearing them all limb from limb and making them suffer as much as she had. The monstrous pumpkin mecha towered over Oogie Boogie and the three children as they all cowered in fear.
So pathetic to look at. He didn't know where to begin. Screw it. Oogie Boogie was who he wanted. The mecha had become part of him and it's arm behaved like his. All he had to do was think about moving it and the mech obeyed. Oogie was too terrified to attempt an escape. The Pumpkinator squeezed the fat coward tightly as Junior unapologetically glared at him.
"OH PLEEEASE! I'm not a bad oogie boogie, I just make bad mistakes. You can find some kindness in your heart, can't you?"
Junior said nothing. He tightened his grip ever so slowly. Oogie felt it crushing him slowly, squeezing the breath out of him. Without warning Grim and Mandy flew in on skeleton steeds halting at the sight of the monstrousity before them. Grim knew something had been wrong, but this was far worse than anything he could imagine.
Mandy glanced in the direction of her dismembered daughter. She didn't gasp or cry, she merely looked upon it as if it were a dead animal. Junior noticed his parents, as well as Jack and Sally staring at him in confusion and fear. He saw his mother looking at Minnie's corpse. She didn't show any sign of emotion, but her unrelenting gaze at her daughter told him that she was feeling what he was. It wasn't anger. It was sorrow. He wanted Minnie back, he didn't care about killing Oogie because that wouldn't bring her back.
The Pumpkinator's metal plates started to shed off of him and soon he was free of the suit. He stood there in his black and green reaper outfit with scythe in hand over Oogie. With one quick slash the former fiend was no more. Junior's hand had returned, probably due to his new powers that he still didn't understand. Junior walked over to his father and looked up at his father, whom he had always admired and wished to emulate, and said, "I'm going to get her back." With a swing of his blade a portal was opened.
"Junior! Don't do dis!" He put his hand on his son's shoulder knowing what both of them were feeling. As the Reaper, Grim had taken many souls from the one's they loved, he knew that there was no way to fight this. It was how things worked.
Grim stepped away as Mandy came to Junior. She kneeled on one knee and put her hands on his face. Her eyes weren't red! They had turned a soft blue color. She smiled at him and leaned over to the side of his head to whisper, "If you love your sister and if you want her back, go get her."
As Junior started towards the portal Grim tried to stop him, but Mandy didn't allow him. Junior looked at his parents remembering their past and misadventures. Maybe he would be able to look back on this with a smile someday. With that thought in mind he stepped into the portal prepared to fight every angel in existence for his sister.
