Upon entering the world, it was found to have ghosts flying around as well as lots of pumpkin decorations and dimly lit streetlights. The heroes even wore costumes depicting halloween like monsters such as vampires, mummies, witches, etc.
"Whoa, were all monsters." Hope said.
"Except for Brook, he fits right in." Luffy said.
"Yes. But….this place still terrifies me." Brook said.
"Yeah, this place is creepy. It's almost like a populated city based off of…" Hope said as musical number started up. ".Halloween"
Monsters of all shapes and sizes then came out of the crevices and danced around them.
"Why of course, new comer. It is called Halloween Town for a reason." said a man with two faces. "Its our favorite holiday, every day. And I am the Mayor. And this year, we have a special theme. Follow me." he said.
They soon came across a large assortment of ghost like heartless that moved about in a strange way.
"Huh? They aren't attacking." Kos-Mos said.
"Thanks to our glorious leader, who found a book on the heartless, they are under our complete control. Perfect for our heartless Halloween." the Mayor said.
"A Heartless Halloween?" Rainbow said in surprise.
The Mayor took his place with a megaphone.
"And now, allow me to introduce to you, the master of terror, the king of nightmares, our one and only Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington!" the Mayor annouced.
As soon as he did, the ghost heartless did a sort of presentation like as out of the fountain came a skeleton in a black suit who rose up.
"Ah! A skeleton!" Brook said.
"You're a skeleton too." Usopp said.
"Oh yeah." Brook said.
"Bravo, Jack, Bravo. These ghosts are going to be a big hit at this years Halloween." the Mayor said.
"WHy thank you. Oh an who are these newcomers?" Jack said. "Especially the handsome one there." he said pointing to Brook.
"Nice to hear that, coming from a fellow skeleton." Brook said.
"Wait, jack Skellington?" Hope said before getting the Chs and Crystal Prep girls in a huddle. "Girls, do you know where this world is and what it means?"
"Let me guess, Nightmare Before Christmas?" Lemon asked him.
"Yeah, wait, how'd you know?" Hope asked.
"I've seen the movie before. I like terror, but this is more creepy and funny than terror." Lemon said.
"In any case, It looks like this is even before Jack discovered the way to Christmas Town." Hope said.
"Yeah. I was thinking the same thing." Rainbow said.
"So, what are we talking about?" Jack said next to them scaring them. "Oh, what wonderful screams. Tell me, you like my ghosts? Did they terrify you?"
"Uh, yeah. So, are you planning on those heartless being your new idea for next halloween?" Hope asked.
"Yes. I want them to dance with me in this celebration this year. Only one problem, their movements, they aren't scary enough." Jack said.
"Thats because Hearless have no sense of emotion. All they care about is destruction." Aqua said.
"Hmm. That's right. They don't have any emotions. Mayor, I'm off to see the Doctor." Jack said walking to a large lab.
"Oh, Jack. There you are. Whats the agenda for today?" the doctor asked.
"Everyone, meet the smartest brain in halloween town, Doctor Finklestein." Jack said. "And I think that we need to get the heartless to dance more."
"Impossible. They have no hearts. So I decided on this." the doctor said pulling out a blueprint. "Make an artificial heart for them!"
"You really think that'll work? Heartless wont turn so easily." Aqua said.
"Young lady, in my experience, nothing can resist being turned. With the right use of your skills, you can even revert a Zeti to what it once was before living in the Lost Hex." Finkelstein said.
"The Deadly Six? How do you know about those guys?" Sonic asked.
"I did a study on one years ago. I even have the remains right there." the doctor said pointing to a wall with a zeti skeleton on it.
"You see, Zeti live to cause chaos, but like Yo-kai, they too were once human, until an event corrupted their hearts. I believe that when a Zeti reaches the peak of its power in a fight, and reaches a limit to where its energy is exposed, one touch of a Yo-kai watch, will turn them back into the Yo-kai they originally were. Or so in theory. It hasn't been tested yet." the doctor said. "So, what do we need for this heart?"
"It says we need a container with a lock on it." Jack said as the doctor got one.
"Ugh! We need the key for this thing first!" he shouted.
"It shouldnt be too easy to find." Hope said as Sora walked up and unlocked it. "Sora?"
"If we give the heartless a heart, they might not fight us all the time. Plus, I wanna see them dance." Sora said.
"Simply amazing, Sora. I want you and all your friends to be a part of this years Halloween." Jack said.
"So, what's that heartless doing here?" Jexi asked pointing to one on the examination table.
"The Heartless came into town quite recently and what's frustrating is I can't get them to dance with me." Jack said.
"I know, you told us. So what do we need?" Hope asked.
"We already have some ingredients." the doctor said holding a frog. "A pulse for one."
He stuffed the frog inside the fake heart and it started beating. "And we have emotion as well as terror." he added holding a spider.
He put that in the heart too. "As well as fear." he said scratching on glass with his fingernails. "And also, hope and despair." he added pointing to two snakes trying to swallow each other.
All of them went in the heart.
"Now we mix." the doctor said pulling a switch as electricity surged across the room.
In an instant, the heart then beated as the heartless rose, only to fall back down.
"It failed! Maybe we're missing some ingredients." the doctor said. He opened his head and started scratching his brain.
"Uh, maybe it just needs…' Hope began before the doctor tossed a wrench at him.
"Quiet! I'm thinking! Ah. Maybe if we try adding memory." the doctor said. "Sally! Sally! Where is that blasted girl? She has the ingredient for memory."
"Youre really gonna take a chunk of grey matter out of your own creation/daughter?" Rainbow said.
"What? No! Not literally moron. She literally holds the ingredient representing it. We just need to get it." he said.
"I'll get her doctor." Jack said. "Come along, my friends."
Meanwhile as they left, three tiny creature jumped out of a container, spying on the whole thing.
"Lock!"
"Shock!"
"Barrel!"
"Huh. So Jack really is outdoing himself again." Lock said.
"We gotta tell Oogie Boogie." they all said.
They rode a walking tub to Oogies house before Flux stood in their way.
"Hello, my naughty little children. Busy with pranks?" Flux laughed.
"Flux? Youre not Oogie." Lock asked.
"Yeah! Why you gotta always come to Halloween Town just as we set something up for Oogie?" Shock said.
"Cause we're in an alliance, that is why. I even brought a playmate for him as a bodyguard. Zor!" Flux said.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm here. But life is pointless anyway." he said.
"Oh suck it up. Your job is hanging on by a thread. Don't win here, kiss your job goodbye." Flux said.
"Whatever." Zor said.
"Youre lucky you only follow Zavok, if anything, he and Zazz would be the only ones I keep out of you." Flux said.
"Such a drag." Zor said.
"Nitwit. Just do your job." Flux said before leaving.
"Sheesh. Well, if I gotta be here, I might as well go for Sonic. Working for this Oogie guy may not be so bad after all." Zor said as he followed the kids.
As the group headed into the graveyard, they came across a girl in stitches.
"Sally, there you are. Do you still have it?" Jack asked.
"Yes. Right here." Sally said presenting a wilted flower.
"Perfect." Jack said taking it.
"Jack, I think you should call off this Heartless Halloween. There's still time to put something else together." Sally said.
"Sally, when the heartless have a heart, I promise to make them dance just like I envisioned." Jack said.
"Well, if you say so." she said sighing.
"Something wrong, Sally?" Hope asked.
"Oh, nothings wrong. I just came across this girl in white the other day. She brang so much to life here. All I had left was this flower which was wilting. She said her name was Lucy. And that life rather it be created or not, should not be messed with." Sally said. "I think Jack is doing just as she warned."
"Uh, did this Lucy girl happen to have a friend who controls the undead called-" Hope began before Jexi held him off.
"Just leave her be. We don't need to complicate things." Jexi said.
"Right. So, Jack, any other ingredients?" Hope asked.
"Just one: surprise." Jack said. "That is all we need. The essence of surprise."
"Where are we supposed to find that?" Nami said.
"OH MY GOD!" Juvia said in shock. "Huh? Why did I just do that?"
"OH MY GOD!" Morgiana said. "I'm doing it too?"
"Its a yokai, I'm calling it. Sunset, activate your lens and lets comb this place," Hope said.
"Already found it." Sunset said as she found a burger like Yo-kai by Robin.
"OH MY GOD!" they both said.
"Okay. The Yo-kai, Oburger. A Merican Yo-kai from the tough tribe. Anyone inspirited by it acts completely surprised." USApyon said.
"Huh. So like Ottamagator, we need to make anyone Oburger possesses totally blank. And I got just the thing." Hope said getting Faysoff's medal. "Come on out, my friend! Calling Faysoff! Yo-kai Medal, do your thing!"
"Initiating Summoning Pose."
Dance music the played as Faysoff boogied over to the watch.
"Summoning a Mysterious Tribe."
"Faysoff!" he said.
"Alright Faysoff, make the ones Oburger inspirited blank as your face." Hope said.
"On it!" Faysoff said as he worked hard inspiriting all the people Oburger went after as it ran and ran, eventually both became tired and collapsed.
"Oh...My...God." Oburger said before passing out with his medal rolling out.
"Perfect!" Jack said taking a snip of Obergers DNA, a piece of tomato. "A Yo-kai that causes surprise. Its perfect for the final ingredient. Now we can really complete the heart."
They returned to the lab where the doctor implanted the items.
"Finished at last. Now we can use it for real now." the doctor said before he tripped on his wheelchair as the heart landed in the hands of Lock, Shock and Barrel.
"Hehehe!" they laughed as they ran out.
"Not those three. Which means only one thing." the dctor said.
"Oogie Boogie is up to no good once again." Jack said.
"Yeah, that old sack of bugs always wants to show you up, right?" Rainbow asked.
"Indeed. But this isn't a rivalry, we're enemies. And I need to get the heart back." Jack said.
"He may be working for Maleficent too. Lets get that bag of bugs and get the heart back." Hope said.
Following after the children, they soon came across a large treehouse like building.
"It is as I thought. Oogie Boogie is behind all of this." Jack said.
"Hang on a sec." SOnic said as a small shadow appeared behind him. "Something doesnt feel right."
"Sonic, behind you!" Tai;s said.
SOnic jumped out of the way as the shadow struck and disappeared.
"Aw man, you dodged that? You were a pain at the lost hex, and you're still one now." Zor said coming out. "So yeah, Flux says you all are drags so I'm doing this to get rid of you."
"Zor. I knew I heard the sound of negativity and despair. So what, you're gonna fight me again like last time?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. Well not entirely. I got this thing back." Zor said as a large owl appeared. "Eggman fixed it up and now I get to use it to crush you all and stuff." he said jumping onto it.
"So yeah, prepare to die and all that." Zor said as the owl launched nut like projectiles.
"I've faced this thing before, follow my lead!" Sonic said before the Owl exploded. "Huh?" Sonic said before seeing X had fired at it.
"Follow the past of fights is not how we do things. You always think outside the box." X said.
"Sigh. ANother pointless conflict is about to begin…" Zor said unleashing half of his full power and summoning shadows.
Hope then had an idea. "Sunset, I'm gonna test Doctor Finklesteins theory. Cover me." Hope said as he ran in.
"Are you crazy? Its a theory. You don't even know if itll work!" Sunset said.
"It'll be fine. Just push Zor's power to his limit while fighting him!" Hope said.
As they fought against Zor, hope ran at him.
"When I tried to cure the heartless in monstro before, my watch glowed because it had a heart, but was still evil. It couldnt be purified. But now that we have someone even a little less corrupted, maybe it can, work." Hope shouted putting the watch agaisnt Zor.
"What's this suppose to be? I do feel, kinda...wha!" Zor shouted as a flash occurred.
When it subsided, before then flew a cat with sharp teeth and a cape. "Dracunyan!"
"It actually worked?!" Sonic said.
"Yeah. Guess it did." Hope said.
"Dracunyan. A cat Yo-kai from the Shady Tribe. Anyone they bite becomes an exact copy of itself." USApyon said.
"Thank you for freeing me from that shell of a downer. I was made this way when I encountered two beings: Zavok and Zazz." Dracunyan said.
"So are they Yokai too?" Hope asked.
"Afraid not. Those two are pure blooded Zeti as well as Zik." Dracunyan said.
"So that only leaves Zomom and Zeena that we can purify." Hope said. "Not what I was hoping, but still just as good."
"If we can pull this off, we can cut the Deadly Six's numbers in half, putting a big dent in Flux's forces." Tails said.
"It won't make a difference. His forces are even stronger than ever. We just learned, that Flux...has an enhanced on his team." Dracunyan said.
"An enhanced?" Hope said in horror. "Who is it?"
"I don't know. Only those in his inner circle know. Him, Ian, Eggman and Buggy." Dracunyan said.
"But you can help us fight him right?" Hope said.
"I don't wanna be near him. I've seen too much scary things." Dracunyan said handing his medal over before flying off.
"So only Zomom and Zeena are left." Hope sighed. "And just when I think I can weaken evil, it just gets stronger."
Upon entering the manor, they saw the kids dumping the heart down a chute before looking at the group.
"Too late, losers." Shock said.
"We just handed over the heart to Oogie. Now he'll control all of those Heartless." Barrel said.
"That's it huh? Well, no worries. Just go down and get the heart right from his grasp." Applejack said.
Upon heading down, they came to a large roulette wheel with Oogie on the other side holding the heart. "So glad you could make it, Jack." Oogie said.
"Give back what Jack and us worked so hard to make." Hope said.
"Hah! You want it, come and get it!" Oogie said swallowing the heart.
"What the?!" Lucy said.
"It's alright, hes just bugs on the inside." Rainbow said.
"Oh, I can feel it. The power. Oh, heartless!" Oogie called out as two gargoyle like heartless flew in. "What? This is it? No one disrespects me! Nobody!" he said as a pair of exploding dice knocked the group into the roulette wheel as it spun.
"This is really tesing our luck here." Hope said.
"I figured the pattern out, just…" Sci Twi said.
"Afraid the wheel don't work the way you think it does. It works on the roll of my dice." Oogie said tossing a pair. "12!" he said as buzzsaws came down attempting to cut them.
They cut a few before retreating as Hope began to climb the rails. "Hey, that's against my rules, blue boy. Hit the bricks!" Oogie said.
"What? Don't like me breaking your little rules?" Hope said making it on top.
"Grrr. No one disrespects me!" Oogie said rolling the dice. "Snake eyes?" he then bashed his fist as the dice rolled over. "11. Looks like I won the jackpot. Your friends are about to take a dip...in lava." Oogie said laughing while heading for a lever.
"Oh no you dont!" Hope said. He tried to kick Oogie away only for his foot to be stuck.
"Sorry, blue boy. A kick or punch ain't gonna cut it with me. Ahahahaha!" Oogie laughed getting closer.
"Thats it! Time for your luck to be turned upside down, Oogiie!" Hope said noticing the string. "Or should I say, unravel." he said grabbing the string and pulling.
"Hey, what are you doing? Cut that out!" Oogie said.
"What, is this thing keeping your sack together? Here, let me help with that!" Hope said pulling it all the way, unravelling the bag revealing a mass of bugs. "Now look at what you've done! My precious bugs! My precious bugs! My….precious bugs!" Oogie said as he literally fell apart.
"That oughta keep you down for awhile." Hope said before realizing. "Aaaand i just ruined the antagonist setup for the movie."
"Huh. Guess the heart was a failure after all. And just when I thought we got it right." Jack said.
"Jack, lemme tell you something. You dont need a fancy gimmick like dancing heartless to scare people. C'mon, youre Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King! One swipe of your hand beats many heroes! You can get along fine without them." Lemon said.
"Perhaps you and Sally were right." Jack said as they all began to leave. As soon as they did, the earth began to shake as the manor transformed into an Oogie like monster.
"JACK! HOPE!" it roared.
"Oh great, as if our problems werent bad enough. Maleficent mustve beefed up Oogie." Hope said.
"No...Maleficent. All...me….Blue Boy!" the monster said.
"Aim for his face in the center of the tree!" Zephyr said as they fired, with the attacks not doing anything.
"Its not working. We're missing some sort of….weak spot." Aqua said noticing seven dark spheres on Oogie. "Those are maintaining his form. Destroy the spheres of darkness!"
The long range fighters aimed at the spheres of darkness, destroying each one before the last one vanished. As soon as it did, the large Oogie monstrosity fell apart, leaving a giant keyhole implanted in the ground.
Sora aimed his keyblade at the moon which reflected the light back onto the keyhole, locking it tight.
Back at the lab, Jack lamented to Sally.
"Sally, why didn't I listen to you?" Jack said.
"Don't feel bad Jack. We can think of idea for Halloween next year. Next time, we'll do it together." Sally said holding his hand.
"I really must thank you all. You reminded me what being the greatest master of Halloween really is all about. And, I want to thank you. This wound up in my house one day, and I think you should have it." Jack said giving them a piece of paper.
"Yes! The final missing page to Pooh's storybook!" Estelle said.
"I'm goin' in." Sora said.
The book shined as the five ended up in a mud patch with Pooh following a pair of footprints.
"Pooh? What are you doing?" Sora asked.
"I think I finally found the one who made all my friends go away. His footprints keep circling this mud path and they look like mine. I must be getting close." Pooh said.
Jexi and the others thought about this.
"This is so weird. And I think we solved the mystery of this book." Sora said.
"We should tell him he's following his own footprints at some point." Jexi said.
"Yeah. We'll tell him at some point." Hope said. "Let's do a little exploring while he has fun."
They explored the mud patch for a bit as Pooh followed his footprints while also playing a game of hide and seek. After which, they had all gathered under a big tree for stargazing.
"I'm so glad we're all together again. I didn't know what to do when I was all alone." Piglet said.
"Pooh, why did your story get ripped up?" Hope asked.
"Story? What do you mean?" Pooh asked.
"Its safe to say they don't know its a book." Estelle said. "But, if I had to guess, it was probably from years of neglect and loneliness."
"Hmm, i see. But you know, you five are always welcome back here." Pooh said.
"Yeah. Don't forget to bounce on back again." Tigger said.
"Yeah. See ya." they said as they left the book. As they returned to the ships, they saw the book glow. On the cover appeared the five with Pooh and his friends and on the book lock, locked on its own and became x'ed out.
"Pooh. Such a silly old bear." Estelle said smiling warmly. Dropping from the book came a small green gem.
"A summon gem." Linkle said.
"I've got it." Estelle said as the gem glowed. A small deer appeared before going into the compass.
"Bambi. His name is Bambi." Linkle said.
"Now, lets get this back to Merlin." Hope said.
"No need. I am already here." Merlin said appearing in the ship and taking the book. "My word. You all fixed this book better than I ever could."
"Youre welcome, Merlin. It's nice to see a child hood classic back to normal." Hope said.
"Well, I'll keep this book on hand, if you ever have need of it." Merlin said vanishing with the book.
"Okay, what worlds next to secure, Donald?"
"Neverland." Donald said.
"Oh! We get to see Peter Pan again!" Pinkie said.
"Odds are our old friend Captain Hook is with Maleficent and Flux." Hope said.
"We beat the guy before, we can beat him again." Yuri said.
"Alright donald, Second start to the right, and-" Pinkie began before a large pirate ship started sailing at them. "Hard to starboard!"
