The Missing Minion Battle for Barrel

Oogie's Revenge AU fic. My ideas for cutscenes for the Missing Minion Battle for Barrel. Hey, Lock & Shock got Minion battles, so why didn't Barrel get any?

[I do not, and never will, own The Nightmare Before Christmas, or the sequel, Oogie's Revenge]


Jack Skellington headed through the Pumpkin Patch toward the Big Pumpkin Head, where Oogie Boogie's monsters were attacking it.

Suddenly... there was a huge clank noise, and a iron fence appeared in front of him. Then another loud clank sounded, and a fence leading back had appeared behind him. He was trapped. "I knew it was too easy." he said.

"Oh you didn't think it was that easy, did you?" Barrel said, as he appeared in the area.

"Oogie's plans will soon be finished. And it won't take me too long to stop you. You will never make it through my maze! Are you ready to play?"

Jack stood before Barrel, preparing his Soul Robber.

"OK, Jack. Let's play!" Barrel said. he put his mask on and waved his hands around. At that moment, some Tricks & Treats popped up, shouting "Trick!" and "Treat!" at Jack.

"if you say so, Barrel." Jack said as he prepared to fight.


Jack took care of all 20 of Barrel's Tricks & Treats baddies.

Barrel took his mask off, and saw his Trick & Treat buddies had gone.

"Where did they go?" He saw Jack glaring at him. "I'd better go!" he said as he darted off toward the Big Pumpkin Head.

He didn't know that Jack would soon beat him again...


Hey, Lock & Shock had a minion battle, why not Barrel?

I guess the game designers were too lazy to put it in.

But I think this is what would have been the third Minion Battle.

[The game would go on as normal from the point after the end of Barrel's minion Battle cutscene.]

Do you think this should have been in the game?
