Halloween town a world stuffed with nightmares none could imagine. a dark world where Halloween brought the joys of light to its inhabitants hearts. a skeletal figure, named Jack Skellington, with glowing eyes looked on his beloved town. he wore a top hat with a ribbon tied in the shape of a bat that tailed down behind his cracked skull. his heart heavy as he looked over the town he once reined over now filled to the brim with unknown shadows. as his ghoulish mind concocted ways to take back his town a light began to flicker in the distance, a light like none he had ever seen before. As he dashed through town making haste to its source. he began to grin his curiosity peaked as he toppled over many of the shadows and citizens in his path.
gale was the last to step through the lane between, his eyes trying to adapt to the blackened night of this world. as his eyes adjusted, he could just make out the tombstones jutting from the floor as flickers of candle light came from the occasional jac-o-lantern. even though gale had never been to radiant garden it was clear that this world was not the world they had saught to step ground upon. "well this isn't right" snow sarcastically let out as he brushed his hands through his facial hair confused.
lave began to run her hand along one of ghoulish statues next to her, "I think this is halloween town". she had heard of halloween town from myde several times, but she had never been to this world. Nor did she know which lane between to use to reach its nightmarish town. "somethings wrong", she stated as she tried to understand what happened. as snow and lave sat there pondering, gale began to speak.
"it must of been the shades twisting the paths amongst worlds". this worried lave if the lanes between had all been changed then reaching radiant garden would be all but impossible. just then they heard a gate creak as a skeletal figure stepped into the graveyard. lave motioning them to hide, she heard from myde that they had to dress the part when visiting halloween town. that is unless you wanted the scare of your life, the skeletal figure began to call asking whose there. lave then casted a spell over the trio. their clothes swiftly changed, just before the figure reached them.
lave stood up as a pair of cat ears poked from her head, as a headband fitted with ears and a small top hat fitted to her head. the top hat sporting a winged broken heart as it tilted to the side. her jacket now gone her arms where covered with laced arm warmers sporting roses at the wrist. a black stutted belt lined her victorian style skirt dress. whipping her in the face a cat tail protruded from the back. her leggings becoming black ripped in several places as she stood on short ankle boots lined with several belts and a jack-o-latern emblem.
Snow was the next to his feet, his shirt and jacket now gone. from the waist up his body was wound in bandages, as several of the wrappings hanged loose from his wrist and his neck. his eyes the only thing viible as the banges left rows of black shadowed exes at the mouth giving a menacing grin. as he stood he began to lift gale to his feet, not much had changed. his coat had morphed becoming a black hoodie a skeletal pattern was printed on it, as rib patterns wrapped around his torso. Leading down to the pattern on its hands a thumbhole emerged as the coat partially covered his hands. the hoodie left a v pattern at the neck, as the jaws of the skull appeared to devour his head. his face now hidden behind his long black hair as it flowed over his face under its hood.
as the trio rose jack skellington looked them up and down before giving a blood churning grin. deep down he knew these strangers would be the salvation of his town. as he approached the trio Jack began to reached out to shake the strangers hands completely oblivious of how impossing he was to them. that is until the two young nightmarishly young men drew their weapons. Jack skellington froze, raizing his hands to the air, "wait I mean you no harm"
the young cat girl walked towards him, no signs of fear tainted her bright blue eyes. "happy halloween".
a warmth within jack began to spread as a bright smile spread across lave's face. memories of his title flashed in his mind as he yelled out with pride, "Yes! happy halloween from jack skellington the Pumpkin king!" as he yelled out, the dread began to pull him back down as he tugged on his hat hiding his broken face.
noticing his dismay lave reached out placing her hand upon his cold boney shoulder, she remembered myde calling him the king of scares, "are you okay you look abit down for the scare king". the skeletal king raised his head as he began to explain how he lost his title. shadowy figures had began to pour into his town just as oogie boogie's new casino had been erected almost overnight. the pumpkin king bravely stood against the dark figures as he approached the lavish lair of his old friend. to his dismay, oogie boogie had become to powerful, squashing jack skellington before smashing his face. despite the pleas of the mayor and citizens in halloween town for jack to return, he could not live with the shame of oogie usurping his title and crushing his very spirit. so he took on his current disguise until the day he could save his town.
as jack spun around back to his new friends he caught a glimpse of skeletal hoodied boy to the mummy man as tears were flowing from his face. the cat girl introduced themselves before the hoodied boy offered to help. the kings face brightened instantly as he had finally gathered the help he needed to take back his town. as the four talked a sinister growl became audible freezing them in their tracks. just then a black canine stepped from behind one of the gravestones its red eyes glowed from within a white canine mask as a red energy oozed out of it mouth. the shadowy figures had finally found their target...a
