Disclaimer: Welcome! Welcome! One and all! For those who know not my identity, I am the King of 2211; the very same author that brought you the Paranormal Sly Cooper series (NBC and Haunted Mansion). But now, I bring you all a very special treat, or trick (whichever you prefer); a massive Xover of NBC, but with many characters of the Hasbro Franchise. Now I'll be honest, some shows I haven't seen and some I'd really wish they'd get real with, but I'll try my best to show them in the best way as the movie, hope it'll be just fine. Also, as a rank of popularity, the main cast are mostly from Transformers and/or MLP and everyone will be (mostly) humanized for the occasion, but it will still apply to the trailer fic I made not too long ago. Now with that said and done, Hasbro owns it's franchise as does Disney with it's franchise; I do not own squat. Now, dear viewers, please do be entertained.
Update: In place of Spike (since he's Twilight's assistant in FIM), Breaker (G.I. Joe Renegades) will be both (in separate ages) Corpse Kid as well as one of the Zombie Trio and Harlequin Demon will be himself.
Prologue: This Is Halloween
KING OF 2211
PRESENTS
HASBRO'S
THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Any area of a wooded area is shown, more particularly a clearing with seven trees. Now one might think these trees were no different from the rest of any tree around. They would be wrong, however, as these were not ordinary trees . . .
Twas a long time ago,
Longer now than it seems
In a place that perhaps you have seen in your dreams . . .
One by one, upon closer inspection, it was shown that each of the seven trees had a distinct symbol carved into it's trunk: a firecracker, a turkey, a four-leaf clover, a heart, an egg, and a Jack-o-lantern.
For the story you're about to be told,
Took place with the Holiday Worlds of old . . .
Each tree was shown closely and the carvings on their trunks were revealed to actually be doors of some sort! Why someone would carve a door into a tree would be considered an utterly useless task.
Now you've probably wondered were holidays come from;
If you haven't, then I'd say it is time you've begun
For the holidays are of much fuss and hard work
from the worlds that create them for us . . .
Though it did seem that someone made quite the effort for such a menial task, for the detail of each door was neatly colored and without flaw.
Well, you see now, quite simply,
That's all that they do;
Creating one unique holiday,
Especially for you . . .
The tree with the Jack-o-lantern seemed to be the most interesting as it came into focus.
But once, a calamity ever so great . . .
The 'nose' on the Jack-o-lantern, almost as if an unseen force was at work, turned on it's own; allowing the door to open, revealing naught but a dark void within.
Occurred when two holidays met by mistake . . .
Through the darkness a Jack-o-lantern with a sinister smile suddenly appeared from the shadows; a scarecrow with a body that was made of straw, arms made of branches. It's only clothing was a red long-sleeved button-up shirt. there was a sign that was atop it's pole that read:
HALLOWEEN
TOWN
Beside it was another scarecrow that appeared similar in every which way but loose, only his sign read:
ENTER
IF YOU DARE
The wind suddenly picked up, twirling the scarecrows around until they stopped, allowing the scarecrows to 'point' in a direction within the darkness. Another door appears and opens to reveal a graveyard. One tombstone was cast over by a shadow of a spectre-like being . . .
Ghost Shadow: Boys and girls of every age . . .
Another grave stone shown the shadow of a beast-like creature . . .
Monster Shadow: Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
A third shown the silhouette of a single being . . . with two heads!
Siamese Shadow: Come with us and you will see . . .
Finally, upon reaching the gate to the cemetery, the doors opened up to reveal a dark and gritty looking town; decorated with an assortment of all things that were considered horrendous.
Shadows: This our town of Halloween!
Ghost then filled the sky, then flew around the cemetery walls that were lined with spikes.
Ghosts: This is Halloween! This is Halloween!
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night!
A total of four pumpkins fell one after the other, each with its own facial expression: frightened, happy, surprised, and outraged.
Ghosts: This is Halloween! Everybody make a scene!
Trick or treat til the neighbors gonna die of fright!
The ghosts continued to fly through the darkened town, until they entered a room of a single house through a broken window . . .
Ghosts: It's our town! Everybody scream!
In this town of Halloween . . .
The room with in the house was but a single bedroom . . .
Monster Under the Bed: I am the one hiding under your bed,
Teeth ground-sharp and eyes glowing red!
A creature was seen beneath the bed with a matching description of a pair of monstrous jaw as well as the eyes flashed a bright red. Outside the room was a staircase as a figure emerged from the shadows. This figure seemed to be mixed up of various animal pieces: the body of a serpent one leg of a goat, the other leg of a Crocodilia, two hands with snakes as fingers, the head of a goat with a mouth with two fangs, eyes like a rotted tree, two mismatched horns and thin-wiry hairs . . . that was filled with spiders! This figure was known as Discord; a mischievous Dragonesque that had a pension for hiding under the stairs until some unfortunate soul crossed his path. He'd scare the Dejesus out of them with his roommate and best friend the Monster under the Bed!
Discord: I am the one hiding under your stairs,
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair!
Ghosts: This is Halloween! This is Halloween!
The living quarters of another home was decorated in a European Gothic sort of way. The window was open, allowing the wind to blow through the pages of a nearby dictionary that lay opened on a coffee table. Four objects (two arm chairs, a couch and a Grandfather clock) looked very peculiar, to say in the least. Besides being black in color, the four objects looked as though they were made of a very distinct material . . . When the Grandfather Clock and the first armchair opened to reveal that they were coffins! And not just any coffins. They were all vampire coffins! The first vampire, who cam from the first armchair, looked like any other blonde-haired human male. But that was only at first glance. If one looked closer, they'd notice he had deathly-pale skin, blue eyes that seemed to glow a bright neon, and two enlarged upper-canine poking out of his mouth. He wore a white long-sleeved dress-shirt, black leather vest, black pants and black shoes. This individual was known as Vladimir Darius Montgomery Peterson Lerr, or Vlad as he preferred to be called; aspiring young vampire and one of three apprentices to a 'very special guy'.
The second was more metallic in appearance with red and white skin and wore what appeared to be a firefighter's hat. Though his red hair seemed normal, apart from his skin his eyes were also a bright neon-blue and had fangs poke out of his mouth. This was Heatwave, the eldest of the four Vampire Brothers; a Barbershop Quartet of brothers under one roof as well as one of Vlad's Legal Guardians. He too wore a black cloak that covered his entire body.
Vlad, Heatwave and Ghosts: Halloween!
Another vampire emerged from the couch, revealing another metallic vampire like heatwave, only blue and white, and had a blue Police cap. He had blue hair, like the other two, had neon-blue eyes and wore a black cloak. This was known as Chase; the second child of the Vampire Brothers.
Chase and Ghosts: Halloween!
A third Vampire, metallic like Heatwave and Chase, with green plating and green hardhat. He had green hair and (along with Heatwave and Chase) fangs that poked out of his mouth as well as neon-blue eyes. Along with the other three, he wore a black cloak. This was boulder, the middle child of the Brothers.
Boulder and Ghosts: Halloween!
Finally, a fourth vampire hung upside down from the ceiling, as with the previous three; he had metallic skin that made him look robotic with orange plating. Aside from his orange hair, he shared traits with the previous four: fangs that pointed out of his mouth and bright neon-blue eyes as well as wore a black cloak.
Blades and Ghosts: Halloween!
The five (four robotic, and single organic) vampires strolled outside, opened their capes, then prepared to take off for a 'Midnight Flight' . . .
Vlad and Rescue Bots: In this town, we call home;
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin Some . . .
Riding atop a Hurst was a small, dark-skinned man that wore a black suit with a red ribbon that red 'Mayor' on the left breast pocket, white undershirt and a black widow spider-like bow tie, a black top hat and black and white pants . . . he had two faces! Both in front and behind on his head! One was happy (which was faced forward), while a sad face was on the back. It appeared that his head would be able to rotate around. His body sure did!
Vess: In this town!
Don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise!
A stray black cat wandered into a damp alleyway until it landed upon a trashcan.
Monsters: Round that corner, man,
Hiding in the trashcan;
Something's waiting and how you'll-
The lid to the trashcan suddenly flew off as a figure popped out. It was a rather robust demon with a round mouth that was filled with sharp teeth that detached his head as he moved, three long black and orange tentacles atop his head. Both his arms were bulked with scales with three fingers on each hand. He had a body as rotund as he head and arms with the same color as his tentacles and yolk-colored eyes. This creature was known as the Harlequin Demon.
Harlequin Demon: Scream!
It was then that a figure cam crashing through a nearby fence was a very bulky beast-like creature. It appeared to be a sentient wolf with claw-like hands and had grey and beige fur, sharp teeth, and a feral voice. His only piece of clothing was a torn red, brown, and yellow flannel shirt. This was Lucky, the residential werewolf.
Lucky: This is Halloween!
Rarity: Red and black!
A third individual joined them, emerging from the sewer was a being that was made of sentient sludge in a white suit and a pair of goggles. His name was Meltdown; AKA the Melting Man.
Meltdown: And slimy-green!
Lucky: Aren't you scared?!
Three women on brooms: one middle-aged, one a young adult, and one teenage. Though the three appeared normal enough, the youngest of the three stood out with her fair skin, bright-blue eyes, long flowing waist-length brown hair with straight cut bangs at her eyebrows. She wore a black midnight dress, a pair of fishnet gloves, black boots. This young lady was known as Hazel Witchelmeyer, witch-in training and the second of the three apprentices to the 'very special guy'.
The two older witches (one taller and one shorter) appeared to be more experienced, leading the younger through the dark tunnel. The taller of the two, who was also the oldest being middle-aged in appearance, with long grey hair that had white streaks, light-green eyes, prominent cheek bones, and a beauty mark above her lips. The shorter witch had brilliant azure-colored skin, dark greyish-violet colored eyes, long pale-blue hair with even paler blue streaks. Both witches wore a long sleeved orange and black shirts, long black dresses, and pointed black hats. These two were the residential (as well as half sisters) witches; Anna Twombly and Trixie Lulamoon, professional witches and Legal Guardians of young Hazel.
Hazel, Mrs. Twombly and Trixie: Well, that's just fine!
Say it once! Say it twice!
Take a chance and roll the dice!
They emerged from the tunnel as they passed a large tree, withered and gnarled up.
Hazel, Mrs. Twombly and Trixie: Ride with the moon at the dead of night . . .
The tree in question appeared to move; it was alive! this was the caretaker of the graveyard; the Hanging Tree.
Hanging Tree: Everybody scream! Everybody scream!
Hanging from its branches were five canine skeletons: one appeared to be a Dachshund, but the others were unidentifiable that were strung up by the neck like hangmen. If a sentient tree was horrifying; the skeletons themselves began to move as well! These were the the Hanging Tree's Hanging Dogs, who also kept maintenance around the cemetery.
Hanging Dogs: In our town of Halloween . . .
Through the Hanging's mouth was a dark void, and in that void was a lone individual; a metallic person with dark grey skin, but that was nothing. This person appeared to be in the form of a clown: face caked with white make-up and a big red nose. He wore a polka dot suit, large shoes, a beanie with a propeller and rode on a unicycle. This was Starscream, or as everyone else knew him as the "Clown with the Tear Away Face".
Starscream: I am the Clown with the tear-away face!
He did just that.
Starscream (Deeper Voice): Here in a flash and gone without a trace!
True to his word; in a puff of smoke, he had completely vanished!
Unseen Voices: I am the "Who" when you call, "Whose there?" . . .
A female figure was seen in a tower window combing her long fluorescent hair that had three light colors: cerulean, turquoise, cobalt, and heliotrope. The woman turned to reveal she was a life sized rag doll. She had pale, light greyish-magenta eyes and her skin was a light heliotrope grey with stitches that covered her entire body. Her dress was made up of various colored rags and a pair of black low-heeled shoes and grey socks. In the same room as her sat two individuals, were also rag dolls! One was a female, like the one at the window, only shorter and had blue eyes and blonde hair with pink streaks. Her dress was brown and white and she wore orange and black leggings as well as slip on shoes. The third rag doll was actually a male with brown hair and vibrant green eyes that appeared glassier that the two females. He wore a brown suit, white undershirt, brown pants and brown shoes Both, though younger in appearance, also had stitches that covered their bodies like the woman.
Wind: I am the Wind blowing through your hair!
A massive shadow suddenly appeared over the moon, it's aura was as sinister as it appeared to be . . .
Shadow of the Moon: I am the shadow of the moon at night,
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright!
The shadow grinned widely, then turned into a flock of bats! A trio of townsfolk made their way through an opening gate, which was the main entrance to Halloween Town. In the booth to the gate was the gatekeeper, which was a human-sized raven wearing a brown suit and a bowler hat. The three made their way through the gate. One was a small robotic devil (as seen by his horns) with red skin, sharp teeth, pointed goatee and a barbed tail. He wore a completely black cloak, black gloves and a pair of black shoes. Beside him was a human-sized gecko! He had putrid-green scales, long wiry hair, three fingers on each hand. These two were known as Slipstream and Vinnie Terrio, the residential Devil and coroner.
Following close behind the two was a massive sheep dog that wore a pair of yellow gloves and some overalls . . . and had an axe embedded onto the crown of his head! This was Nibblet, the caretaker of the Pumpkin Patch. Currently, he walked through the gate, hauling a horse made of straw and hay. Upon its back were the two scarecrows from before . . .
Monster Residence: This is Halloween! This is Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
(Halloween!) (Halloween!)
A guillotine went off, slicing a Jack-o-lantern in two. The one who set off the beheading mechanism was a black, bat-like robotic demon with wings that were larger than his body; so large that it appeared he was using them as legs rather than wings. This was Jetstorm, a demon child with withered wings.
In the basket to the guillotine was a young child . . . with decaying flesh and eyes sewn shut! He also had a pair of glasses and short brown hair. He wore a black and white shirt, black pants and was walking around barefoot. This was Breaker the Corpse Kid, a young undead and Jetstorm's best friend.
Breaker and Jetstorm: Tender lumplings everywhere;
Life's no fun without a good scare!
They were joined by a lanky red haired man man with brown eyes and also had rotting flesh. He wore a shredded blue shirt, dirty white pants, and a pair of worn out shoes. This was Elwood P. Harvey, or 'Corpse Dad' as most knew him as; he was also Breaker's father.
Elwood: That's our job!
Another corpse joined the three, only this was a woman with long dark-blue hair and pale blue eyes. Though she did share the rotting flesh like the previous two undead. She wore a tattered green and white dress. This way Aja Leith, or 'Corpse Mom' as people called; she was also he wife if Corpse Dad Harvey and Corpse Kid Breaker.
Aja: But we're not mean!
Corpse Family and Jetstorm: In our town of Halloween . . .
Mayor Vess continued riding through town atop his hurst, many of the town's folk gathering around the square . . .
Vess: In this town!
Don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise!
Wheeling the scarecrows on the hay horse was Nibblet as he follow the Mayor's hurst as everyone watched on with torches in hand to illuminate the gathering.
Halloween Town Residence: Optimus-Jack, might catch you in the back and scream like a banshee!
The scarecrows suddenly came to life as they snatched two torches from two spectators . . .
Halloween Town Residence: Make you jump right out your skin!
This is Halloween! Everybody scream!
Watching the spectacle were the three rag dolls from before. They admired the presentation from behind the Hanging Tree.
Halloween Town Residence: Won't you please make way for a very special guy?
The scarecrow then plunged the torches into their mouths!
Halloween Town Residence: Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin Patch!
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now!
Both scarecrows engulfed the flames of their torches, then erupted into flames. Everyone around gasped in surprised as the burning figures came close . . .
Halloween Town Residence: This is Halloween! This is Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
The scarecrows jumped into the air, performed a somersault and side-flip into the fountain that was in the middle of town. In place of an angel 'pouring' water was a reptile-like creature that was spewing out green slime. Breaker looked into the putrid waterhole with another individual. This was Fixit; Mayor Vess' No.1 assistant. He was mostly covered in bandages, but one could make out metallic skin and one blue eye that peeked out.
Breaker and Fixit: In this town, we call home;
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin Song . . . .
La! La! La!
La! (3x) (ect.)
Two figures began to emerge from the fountain's water. One appeared to be a young blonde adult with pale, metallic skin and bright sapphire-blue eyes. He wore a black sleeveless tailcoat, white undershirt, black gloves, black pants and black boots. The second figure was a tall (taller than the first figure) appeared to be a red and blue skeleton that wore a black and whit tuxedo with a bat-like bow-tie, black and white pants, and black shoes. This individual was known as Optimus-Jack Skellington, or just Jack; the Pumpkin King! The younger fellow was his apprentice and professional shape-shifter; Sam Hane. As it would have it, Jack was also the leader of Halloween Town and the 'very special guy' that was known and Sam was one (as well as the oldest) of his three apprentices. As apprentices to the Pumpkin King, it was the duty of each apprentice to travel to the mortal world and find new ways of creating an even scarier Halloween than the last.
Vlad and Hazel flew down and landed on each side of the fountain to joined the two in a pose for the final performance . . .
Halloween Town Residence: La (4x)!
Halloween! Halloween!
La! (4x)
Halloween! Halloween!
WHEE!
Everyone cheered and clapped as the music stopped.
Mrs. Twombly and Trixie let out loud cackles, then threw their hats into the air before calling out, "Whee!"
"It's over!" Starscream cheered.
Nibblet added, "We did it", Then belly-bumped him.
"Wasn't it terrifying?" Lucky asked.
With him was Vinnie and a single-eye mongoose that was a foot shorter. This was Sunil Nelva, the residential cyclops.
Both turned to looked to the sky as Vinnie pulled a chain around Sunil's neck in a strangling way, "What a night!" They both said.
"Great Halloween, everybody!" Mayor Vess commented.
"I believe it was our most horrible yet." Sam stated.
Jack agreed with his eldest apprentice, "Indeed it was. Thank you, everyone!"
"No. Thanks to you, Jack." Mayor Vess retorted. "Without your brilliant leadership and hard work from your apprentices-"
"Not at all, Mayor." Vlad insisted modest.
Hazel blushed, "Wouldn't know about hard work-"
Blades interrupted, "Your such a scream, Jack!"
"You're a witch's fondest dream." Mrs. Twombly added.
Trixie hugged Jack. "You made walls fall, Jack."
"Walls fall? You made the very mountains crack, Jack."
The three rag dolls watched in fascination as the Pumpkin King was being praised . . . till someone abruptly grabbed the eldest from the arm and pulled her away. This startled the younger dolls. The person in question was a small red and white robot in a white labcoat and was bound to a wheelchair; his lack of feet showed. This was the brilliant Mad Scientist of Halloween Town, Dr. Ratchet Finkelstein. To those who don't know, the ragdoll in his grasp was named Sally and the younger rag dolls were her 'siblings'; Annie and Andy. All three were of the Doctor's creation. This would make the Doctor their 'father' in a way, especially on how strictly he would occasionally treat them.
"The Deadly Nightshade you slipped in my tea wore off, Sally." He said sternly.
Sally struggled against his grip, "Let go!" She pleaded.
"You're not ready for so much excitement and neither are Annie and Andy." He tried to reason.
Andy didn't agree with this statement, "Yes we are! Let her go!"
"You're coming with me!" Ratchet insisted, trying to drag the older doll.
"No we're not!" Annie cried.
She undone a thread on Sally's arm . . . causing it to detach from her body! This action made the Doctor fall out of his wheelchair, which tumbled over, to the ground. The dolls took this as an opportunity and began to flee before their 'father' had the chance to get up.
Still holding the severed arm in hand, Ratchet pushed himself up and shouted after the fleeing dolls, "Come back here you foolish oafs!" Though Sally's arm was removed from her body, but it was still moving! It made a fist, then began knocking on the Doctor's head, which was painful. "Oh! Oh! Ohh!"
Back with Jack and his apprentices. Apparently Jack had made such an accomplishment that he was still receiving praise for his efforts. One individual led the crowd; a robotic, mermaide-like female that had dark-blue scales, webbed hands, gills, a fishtail in place of legs and appeared to be more amphibious than most mermaids. This was the Undersea Gal that was Arcee.
"Ooh, Jack. You make wounds ooze and flesh crawl." She squealed.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much." Jack said nervously.
Seeing their mentor in peril, the apprentices were about to-
"Hold it! We haven't given out the prizes yet." Mayor Vess announced through his hurst's megaphone. Gaining the attention of the crowd, the mayor brought out mentioned prizes. "Our first award goes to the vampires for the Most Blood Drained in a Single Evening'." Presenting a trophy to the Vampire Brothers.
Jack took this as a way to slip away, his apprentices followed close behind him. Though they were at at distance, the awards were still heard.
"An honorable mention goes to the Fabulous Dark Lagoon Leaches."
As the four walked through the streets, they passed a local trio of zombies: Ripcord, Roadblock, and Breaker (a different zombie who had a similar name to the Corpse Kid). Though they shared rotting flesh and matching red and black colored suits, the difference was their appearance and instruments: Ripcord was the middle of the trio who played the saxophone and had wiry hair that was thinning; Roadblock was the tallest who played the accordion and was bald; and Breaker B played the bass (which appeared to have a severed head in the base) and had a brown beard. The four awarded a single coin each for their performance.
Ripcord halted his performance to complement Jack, "Nice work, Bone Daddy."
"Yeah, I guess so. Just like last year." Jack replied. He seemed rather glum. "And the year before that. And the year before that." He continued.
This sullen behavior didn't go unnoticed by the Pumpkin King's three apprentices as they shared looks of concern, then followed their teacher to make sure he'd be in top scaring spirits.
