[Halloween Town]
Lily Phantom Rose Her Hand Up And Created Giant Vines That Wrapped Around The Demon reaper's Limps
She Smiled a Vampiric Grin And Unleashed her Ghostly Wail On The Monster.
While This Was Going On...Ghost Rider Was Fighting With Amanda.
"I've Always Hated You, reaver...
From The Day You first Rode Along To Endville, You've Been Like a THORNED ROSE!
While Mandy Thought You Sweet, I Saw You As a PAIN!
"Like I Care! Shouted Jack
Ghost Rider Shot a Stream Of Fire At Amanda
Whose Arm Was Caught The Flames Path.
She Screamed In Pain As Her Arm Burned.
It Soon Healed, But The Pain Remained.
"You Ruined Everything, Ghost Rider...
Your Very Existance Destroyed My future...MY WORLD!
"I Never Wanted To be The Ghost Rider...That Was MEPHISTO'S FAULT!
"Doesn't Matter Whose Fault It Is...I'm Still Gonna Kill You.
Ghost Rider Whipped His Flaming Chain.
"You First.
Ghost Rider Punched Amanda In The Face HARD.
Amanda recovered And Dodged Another Attack From Ghost Rider.
Demon Reaper Solders Soon Appeared.
They Tried To Attack, But Ghost Rider's Eyed Flashed As He Induced TERROR.
Causing The Creatures To Suffer Horrific Visions And Flee In Terror.
Ghost rider Shot Hellfire Blasts At them, Frying Them Into Ash.
"My...Your Pretty Violent, Today...
"I'm In a BAD MOOD!
"Do tell...
As The Demon Reaper Soldiers Ran AFter The Citizens...Mandy Rushed Forwad To Help.
She Slashed At them With her Scythe, Reducing Most Of Them To Lifeless Goo.
"SPAWN!
GET THE CIVILIANS To SAFETY!
Spawn's Eyes Flashed Green As His Cape Became Wings.
"DEMONS!
FACE THE WRATH OF HELLSPAWN!
Spawn Slashed At Them With his Battle Axe And Took Some Citizens Away
Grim And Jack Skellington Were Back to Back, Fighting Off The Monsters.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Skellington Looked To See Sally At His House.
The Creatures Were Trying To get Pass The Gate To his House.
"SALLY!
Skellington Looked Towards His Brother.
"GRIM, WE MUST SAVE SALLY...MY CHILDREN ARE THERE!
"Okay, Jack.
Grim And Jack Skellington Ran Towards The Gate
Cutting Away At Any Demon Reapers That Got In there Way.
Minnie Soon Recovered And Saw Lily Phantom Attacking The demon Reaper Beast.
"BROTHER!
She Was About To Attack, When She Got Shot In Teh ARm By a Hellfire Bullet.
Minnie Grasped Her Cut Arm, Bleeding With Leaves And Looked Out Towards Her Attacker.
It Was Malina...Riding On Her Flaming Horse.
She Had a Hellfire Gun In Her Hand...Still Smoking From The Shot fired.
Malina Stopped At The Town's Limits And Got Off Her Horse.
"Run, Ember...
The Horse Neighed And Ran Off...Leaving Flaming Hoofprints Behind It.
Minnie SCowled At Her Counterpart, She Leaped Down Fom a Roof And Slid Towards Her.
The Ragdoll Mystic Faced The Ghost Rider Cowgirl.
"Thou Art's Heart Is Hardened By Anger And a Need For Revenge...
Your Brother's Death Has Made You Stronger...Now, You Are Ready To Battle.
Malina's Flames Grew Bigger.
"You Should Of Taken My Mercy When I freely Gave It, Minnie.
Now, I have NO MERCY For a Vile Creature Like You...
Malina Took Out a Second Gun.
"I Shall BURN YOUR SOUL FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!
"As My Brother Would Say: Bring It, B #$%!
Minnie Fired Her Mystic Bolts At Malina.
Who Shot Each One With Pinpoint Accuracy.
Realising Malina Was Quite a Sharp Shooter
Minnie Leaped forward And Slashed At Malina With Hands Glowing With ENergy.
Malina Countered By Waving Her Arm, Creating a Small Wall Of Fire That Shielded Her.
She Then Shot Fire Balls At Her, Burning Away At Some Of her Clothes And Polyester Skin.
Minnie Lunged After Malina...
Who Grabbed Her Raggy Arm And Tore It Off, Then Bashed Her On the Head With It.
Minnie Dropped The The Ground In Pain.
She Tried To Get Up...Only for Malina To Shoot Her Leg Off.
Minnie Fell In Pain.
Malina Then Grabbed Her And Threw Her Into a Wall.
"Why Are You Doing This?...
WHAT WAS SO D #$% IMPORTANT TO YOU, THAT MY BROTHER'S LIFE WAS SO MEANINGLESS!?
"Mother Once Ruled The World With Order...Your Father Destroyed All That.
Once Mankind Is Dominated, Then Mother Shall Destroy All the Chaos Like She Did Before...
"Destroy Chaos?, Bring ORDER!?
YOUR MOTHER KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE AND ENSLAVED HUMANITY!
"a Nessesary Sacrifice To Bring Order To a Chaotic World.
"No...It Wasn't.
You Can't Punish The Innocent ALONG With The Guilty, It Isn't Right!
"There Is No WRONG or RIGHT...Good And Evil Is An Illusion.
Malina Glared At Her...Now She KNEW Minnie Was Insane, Just Like Amanda Is.
"The Only Illusion Is The Truth That Your Mother Made Up To Brainwashed You Into Believing...
And If There IS Anything Similar Between Us: It's The LOVE We Share For Our Brothers.
Malina Took Out a Flaming Rope And Lassoed Minnie.
She Brought Her To Her Face And Glared At The Girl.
"You Killed My Brother, Minnie.
And If You Love YOUR Brother The Way I Loved Mine...Then, You KNOW How far I'm Willing To Go To Avenge Him.
"I Would Kill For My dear Brother...You Will Do The Same?
"no...death far too merciful for you, And I Am WITHOUT MERCY.
i will do far worse to you, minnie...LOOK INTO MY EYES.
Hot, Magma Tears Flowed From Malina's Empty Eye Sockets.
"Feel The Pain Of Those You Have Slain For Your Mother...Feel MY PAIN!
Malina Shot a Beam Into Minnie's Eyes.
The Ragdoll Girl Screamed As She Saw Nightmarish Visions Playback In Her Mind, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
Minnie Saw Her Strike At Malina, Only for The Beam To hit Jackie...
She Saw Malina Crying At Het Brother's Motionless Body...Crying for Her Only Brother.
Minnie Suddenly Felt Herself Crying For Some Reason...
As The Oenace Stare Ended...Malina Still Clutched Minnie.
"Not Enough...You Must See What You have Taken From me.
"P-Please...NO MORE!, Mercy...
Malina Tightened Her Grip.
"Sorry...All Outta Mercy.
Look Into My Eyes, Minnie...LOOK INTO MY EYES!
Minnie's Eyes Glowed At Malina Used The "True Sight" Power On her.
Minnie Instantly Saw The Entire History Of Malina And Jackie...
They're Childhood, They're Days At School, they're Friends And Family...And The Bond They Shared.
At The Same Time, Malina Saw Minnie's Memories, Too.
Soon, Malina Broke Off The Connection.
She Dropped Minnie On the Ground, Who Was Shivering From The Psycological Torment.
"I Pity You For Your Foolishness, Minnie...
But, that Doesn't Mean I Forgive You For What You Have Done.
Malina Looked Towards The Town...Where The Demon Reaper Was At.
She Put Away Her Rope, Took Out Her Guns And Ran Towards The Battlefield.
Lily Phantom Formed a Giant Energy Orb With Both Her Hands And Readied For a Powerful Attack.
"TAKE THIS, YOU FREAK!
Lily Slammed Her Energy Ball Into the Monster Like a Cannon
She Then readied For ANother Ghostly Wail...Only For The Demon Reaper To Send One Itself.
"WHAT THE HEL-
Lily Phantom Slammed into the Ground.
(("I've Adapted To Resist That Ghostly Wail In Another Timeline...
Though, YOURS Is Much Stronger Than Dark Danny's Wail...Yours Was Quite Complicated.))
Lily Phantom Glared At The Beast.
(("NOW, DIIIIIIIIIIIE!))
Shots Of Hellfire Bullets Hit The Monster's Skin.
The demon Reaper Looked And Saw Malina With her Smoking Guns.
"HEY, DEMON REAPER!
I'M A CALLIN' YOU OUT!
EVeryone Looked Over At Malina.
"Malina? Said Mandy
"MALINA! Said Jack reaver
"HER, AGAIN!? Said Amanda
The Demon Reaper Waved It's scythe And Created a Dozen Of Demon reaper Solders That Surrounded Malina.
Malina Narrowed Her Eye Sockets And Gripped Her Hellfire Guns Tightly.
As The Monsters Leaped After Her, She Shot Them With Her Flaming Guns.
Those That Weren't Reduced To Ash From Her Shots With Clobbered By The Gun's Themselves...Then Shot.
Malina Then Twirled Around In a Circle, Ballerina Style
While Rapidly Firing Her Guns...This Caused a Wide Area Attack that destroyed Them Instantly.
The Creatures Fell As Malina Put Stood Still, Her Guns Smoking.
"d #$, Girl's Got Skills... Said Lily
The demon reaper Then Stomped It's Foot, causing a Shockwave That Knocked Her down.
(("RIDER GIRL MUST DIE!))
"MALINA!
Jack Kicked Amanda To the Ground And Raced For Malina.
He Formed His Chain Into a Scythe, Grabbed Malina And Slashed At The Demon reaper.
"KEEP YOUR SLIMY TENTICALS OFF MY LITTLE GIRL! Shouted Ghost Rider In rage.
The Demon reaper Stepped Back In Pain.
"D-Daddy...
"It's Alright, Sweetheart...I've Got You.
"not for long...
Amanda Stood Over Them And Aimed An Enchanted Handgun At Them.
"bang...your dead.
a Gunshot Rang Out...But, Amanda Staggered In Pain.
She Looked Over And Saw Mandy With a Shotgun...Aimed Directly At Amanda.
"stay away from my family... Said Mandy In a dark Voice
Mandy Tried To Fire Again, But Amanda Shot The Gun Out Of mandy's Hands.
"Next Time You Aim a Gun At Somebody...You Had BETTER BE PLANNING TO USE IT!
As Amanda Advanced Towards Mandy, Jack And Malina Tried To Assist.
But, Demon reaper Soldiers Blocked They're Way.
"FATHER!
"I KNOW!
While This Was Going On, Jack Skellington And Grim Were Quite Busy.
As The Demon Reapers Started Getting Through The Gate...Jack Pulled One Last Trick.
Jack Skellington's Body Errupted In Flames As he Transformed Into His PUMPKIN KING Form.
With a Purple Coat, Straw & Branch Limbs And a Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Head.
Jack Burned The Demon Reapers Away, Then Changed Back.
"You Know...I Neva' Liked That Form Of Yours. Said Grim
"How Come?
"Reminds Me Too Much Of That Pumpkin Headed Idiot Jack Who Stole Me' Scythe.
"Never Heard Of Him...
Sally Ran Out At That Moment.
"JACK!
"SALLY!
The Skeleton Man Hugged His Ragdoll Wife.
"The Children?
"Safe In the Basement...
"Good.
"Great, Now CAN WE GET BACK TO HELPING MANDY AND REAVER!? Exclaimed Grim
Grim And Jack Skellington an For The Demon Reaper...
But, Demon Reaper Soldiers Blocked They're Path.
"DON'T THESE THINGS EV'VA QUIT!?
Meanwhile, Spawn Was Busy helping The Others...
Many Demon Reapers Stood In His Way.
"BACK DEMONS!
Spawn Was About To Attack...When a Slash Cut Through Them, Destroying Them.
Spawn Looked Up And Saw a Angel In Armor Float Down To Him.
"not YOU again...
It Was Spawn's Rival: The Redeemer AKA The Anti-Spawn.
"What Are YOU Doing Here?
"Trying To Save Humanity On God's Behalf...You?
"Same Thing...Only, I'm Paying back a Favor I Owe To a Friend.
"Hmmmm...Indeed.
More Demon Reapers Appeared.
"Looks Like We're Stuck Working Together, Eh? Said Redeemer
"whatever... Said Spawn
[Back With The Main Battle.]
Lily Phantom Rose Up And Furiously Attacked Teh demon reaper Beast
With Every Ghost And Mutant Power She Had, Getting More And More Angry By The Second.
"WHY...WON'T...YOU...JUST...DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!?
Meanwhile, Amanda Struck Mandy Down To The Ground.
"IT'S OVER MANDY!
My Dark Kingdon Shall RISE AGAIN!
And I Will Take Great Pleasure In the Destruction Of Your World...Like You destroyed MINE!
Mandy Grabbed Her Scythe And Slashed At Her Evil Self.
"I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!
You Want To Destroy The World, I AM GOING TO SAVE IT!
"You Are So Weak...
"No, Amanda...YOU ARE WEAK!
Because, I have Something You'll NEVER HAVE...Something That Makes ME STRONGER!
"And What Is That?!
"humanity...
Amanda Growled At Mandy.
"CURSE YOUR HUMANITY!
CURSE YOUR LOVE!
CURSE YOUR FAMILY!, CURSE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!
Amanda Struck At Her With Each Word, Spoken Like Poison.
Mandy Blocked Her Blows And Kept Fighting Her Off...
One Way Or Another...There 20 Years Struggle Was Going To End.
Mandy Was Tired Of being haunted By Amanda, teh Living Embodiment Of Her Darkness And OLD WAYS.
Mandy Hated Amanda For Everything She Is, Everything That She Did...That Mandy COULD Of Done.
Yes, Amanda WAS What mandy Could Of Been...Had Jack reaver Not Came Into her Life.
She Loved Jack for That, And Loved The Future He Had Made For Her: One Of Peace & Life, Not Evil And Death.
Amanda Was Truely Mandy's INNER DEMON, Her Worst Nightmare Made Real, Her Greatest fear...Her ULTIMATE ENEMY.
She Had To Defeat her...Once And For All, Only ONE Mandy Could Win this Battle...And It HAD TO BE HER!
"keep...away...FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Mandy Blasted Amanda With a Powerful Energy Blast.
Amanda Fell The The Ground And Mandy Ran up to her...
Mandy raised Her Scythe, ready To End Amanda's Existance.
Amanda Just Smiled.
"What Are You Waiting For, Mandy?
Do It...Finish Me...End My Life...It's What I Would Do.
Mandy Gritted Her Teeth.
Tears Streaming From Her Eyes.
The Scythe Charged With Power
And Mandy Swung the Blade Down Like a Flash Of Lightning...
But, Amanda Was Still Alive...Mandy Had Struck Her Gun.
"Is That It!?
Even After Everything I've Done, YOU STILL SHOW MERCY!?
Your Even WEAKER Than I Orginally Thought, Mandy...
Mandy Blasted Amanda With Mystic Energy, Which Was Like Electricity.
As Amanda Lay On The Ground In Pain...Mandy Just Scowled At Her.
"i'm not like you, amanda...i'm no killer.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Amanda Quickly rose Up And Struck At Mandy.
She Grabbed Her And Brought Her Sword To her.
"I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE FOR YOUR BETRAYAL!
As Jack reaver Fought The Demon reapers While Holding Malina...
He Saw His Wife In danger...And Malina Saw Her Mother In Danger As Well.
"MANDY!
"MOTHER!
Suddenly, a Portal Appeared In The Sky...Out Emerged Clockwork.
a Raven Soon Flew From the Clouds And Slowly Transformed Into The Angel Of Death.
Both Figures Met At The Top Of a Tall Tower.
"Well, Angela...Is It Time?
The Dark Winged Angel Smiled.
"Do You Have To Ask?
Angela Drew Out Her Scythe And Swung It Hard.
a Large, Dimentional Tear Formed Outside Of Town.
a Figure Emerged From The tears As It closed...
It Was Jackie Reaver, Riding His Motercycle.
He Instantly Changed Into the Ghost Rider And Drove At TOP SPEED, Leaving a Trail Of flames.
Jack reaver And Mandy Looked On And Smiled, Tears In They're Eyes.
Malina Was Happy Most Of All...Amanda, However...Was Not.
"BROTHER!
"Son...
"MY BABY'S ALIVE!
"WHAT!?
I THOUGHT THE BRAT WAS DEAD!
Angela Smiled.
"Fate Was Kind, today...
God And The Angelic Council Were Feeling Generous, And Allowed The Boy To Continue Living.
"How Fortunete For Us...For He Is Needed In Order To Save The World. Said Clockwork
Jackie Sped Through Legions Of demon Reaper Soldiers, Cutting Them Into Ash.
He Parked His Flamecycle And Stepped Off, Glaring At Teh demon reaper.
"JUNIOOOOOOOOR!
I KNOW YOUR In THERE...THIS ENDS NOW!
The Demon Reaper Glared At Jackie.
(("Yes...This DOES Come To An End, Ghost Rider.)) Said Grim Jr./Demon Symbiote
(("I SHALL TEAR YOUR SOUL APART!))
"Not Before I BURN YOURS TO MOLTEN ASH!
Jackie Threw His Chain At a Tall, Skyscrapper And Leaped Upward.
The Young Rider Hopped Onto The Top...Where He Came Face-To-Face WIth The Demon Reaper.
As This Was Happening, a Loud Rumbling Was Heard From Afar.
Malina Looked And Saw Something Big Approaching From Far Away.
"FATHER, LOOK!
Jack Reaver Looked Over And Saw It.
The Hellfire In his Body Told Him It Was Bad...He Just Didn't Know What It Was.
Jack's Eyes Glowed Brightly As He Focused TRUE SIGHT On It.
His Sockets Widened As He Saw What Looked Like a Giant Monster Made Of Trash And Garbage.
It Was Oogie Boogie, Now MEGA-OOGIE...
In a new Body Made Of Trash From Holiday Trash Hill, Whch Made Him a TRUE MONSTER.
He Was Headng for Halloween Town...
And, It Didn't Take a Genius To Know It Wasn't For Anything Good.
"SKELLINGTON!
The Pumpkin King Ran Towards The Ghost Rider.
"Yes!
"It Seems That Bag Of Bugs Is Now a HEAP OF TRASH...And He's heading This Way.
"Oh, Dear...This Isn't Good.
In That Form, Oogie Will Destroy The Entire Town!
"And Everyone And Everything.
Malina Looked At Them...
She Then Narrowed Her Eyes.
She Whistled For Her Horse, Which Came.
"MALINA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Exclaimed Jack Reaver
"I Have To Stop That thing!
If It Reaches Halloween Town, It'll Destroy Everyone: Good AND Evil...We Won't Have a Chance!
I Have To Do This, I Have To Destroy That Monster Before It Get's Here...I KNOW I CAN!
"IT'S TOO DANGEROUS! SHouted Mandy
"Mom, Dad...PLEASE!
Just Trust Me!, I Can Do This!
Jack Reaver Changed Back Into human Form And Knelt To His Daughter.
"sweetheart, we ALWAYS trust you...and, we know how capable you are.
we're just worried, sweetie...we almost lost your brother, we don't wanna lose you, too!
Malina Nodded.
"I Know father...I Understand How You feel.
But, We Don't Have a Choice, Right Now.
Please...Let me Do This...I'm Ready.
Reaver Looked At Mandy.
She Was Scared...But, She Sighed And Nodded.
Jack turned Back To His Daughter.
"We're All Counting On You, Darling.
"I KNow...I Won't Let You Down.
Malina Got On her Horse.
"WAIT!
Malina Looked And Saw Mandy Offer Her Shotgun.
"Those Pea-Shooters Aren't Gonna Scare Him, None...
Use This Rifle, It's Got more "Fire Power".
Malina Took The Gun And Strapped It On Her Back.
"I'll Make You Proud...
"We're ALWAYS Proud Of You, Malina...No Matter What you Do.
Malina Nodded.
She Transformed And Gallopped Away Towards Mega-Oogie.
[Spiral Hill]
Mega-Oogie Stepped Over Into Spiral Hill...Halloween Town Was Only Miles Away.
He Smiled As He Saw The Town Over Head And Kept Walking.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, OOGIE!
Oogie Looked Over And Saw a Flaming Skeletal Girl Riding On a Fire Horse.
The Girl Dismounted And Faced Oogie...Who Reconised Her As Malina Reaver.
"Well, If It Isn't MALINE REAVER...
Come Back To Be My LUNCH, Have You!?
"No...I've Come To STOP YOU!
"Oh, YOUR TOO MUCH!
I'd Love To See You Try.
Malina Took Her Flaming Rope In One Hand And Her Hellfire Shotgun In Another.
"Bring It, You Piece Of Dirt!
Mega-Oogie Lumbered Towards Malina, Creating Small Tremors With Each Step He Took.
Malina Sprinted Past Him, Avoiding The Thunderous Steps And Made Strikes At Him.
Physical Attacks Weren't Too Affective...
However, Malina Soon noticed Oogie's Trash Heap Body Was Vulnerable To FIRE.
Malina Shot a Stream Of Fire From Her Hands And Burned Oogie's Massive Feet.
Oogie Lost His Balance And Fell, Causing a Massive Quake As His Body Hit The Ground.
Malina Then Savagly Attacked His Exposed Face.
Oogie Soon Regained His Strength And Got Up...He Stomped On The Ground HARD.
"YOU TRYIN' TO MAKE A DOPE OUT OF MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?
Malina Recovered And Ignored Him.
Oogie Tried To Use His Suction Ability And Eat Malina Alive.
But, The Skeletal Cowgirl Whipped Her Rope Onto The Curly Hill
And Swung Herself To The Top, Where She Could See Oogie Coming At Her.
Malina Took Out Her Shotgun And Charged It With Hellfire.
"go to-
((BLAM!))
a Massive Hellfire Blast Shot At Mega-Oogie
Cutting His Body In Half Like a Hot Knife Through Butter.
Oogie's Legs And Waist Fell Apart, leaving Only His Upper Half Intact.
"YOU THINK IT'S OVER!?
I'M JUST GETTING STARTED!
Malina Jumped Off And Walked Over To Him.
[Music Plays]
"let's dance, bug brain...
"IT'S PAYBACK, TIME!
As Oogie's Body Bonded Into the Ground
And Formed Many Hazards, Malina Held Her Shotgun In her Hand.
Mega-Oogie: Well, Well, Well...What a PEST YOU ARE!
Still Alive, Huh?...OOOH!, Can't Say I Like That!
Oogie Attempted To Slam Malina With His Arm, But She Dodges Him.
Mega-Oogie: Why Don't You Just Give Up?...You Know: SURRENDER!
Malina: It's Over, It's Over...Your Plan Was Bound To Fail.
Malina Shoots Fire Balls From Her hands, Hitting Oogie.
Malina: It's Over, Now!
Your Finished, Here!
Your Next Stop, Will Be JAIL!
Oogie Begins To Slam The Ground, Creating tremors.
Mega-Oogie: She Mocks Me...She Fights Me, I Don't Know Which Is WORSE!
I May Just Burst a Seam Now, If I Don't Die Laughin' FIRST!
Malina: Is This a New Trick?!, I'M NOT IMPRESSED!
Your Bad, And Now Your Tall...It Makes It All More Worth While To SEE A GIANT FALL!
Mega-Oogie: TALK-TALK-TALK!
But, i'm Telling You: THIS GIANT'S GOING NOWHERE!
If I Were You, I'd TAKE A A HIKE: There's danger Everywhere...
Oogie Tried To Squash Malina, But She Just Burns Him WIth Hellfire.
Mega-Oogie: Whoa-Oohhh...
Malina: Whoa-Ohhh...
Mega-Oogie: Whoa-Ohhh...
Malina: Whoa-Ohhh...
Mega-Oogie: HA! HA! HAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Malina: UNCLE JACK'S THE ONLY PUMPKIN KING!
Malina Creates Flaming Gysers That Burn Oogie Badly.
She Then, Take Out Her Rope Like a Whip And Sets It On Fire.
Malina: Well, I'm Very Angry...And, There Is Plenty For Me To Do.
I've Fought You And Amanda's Most Unwelcomed Help, AND NOW I'M AFTER YOU!
Oogie Created Stone Pillars That rise Up from The Ground
Malina Jumps And Twirls From Them WIth Grace And Ease, While Striking At Oogie With a Flaming Whiplash
Mega-Oogie: Even If You Defeat Me, You can NEVER DO ME IN!
I'M TEN STORIES HIIIIIGH! AND JUST AS STROOOOONG!
Which Means: I'm Gonna Win...
Malina Lands On The Ground Quite Easily.
Malina: WHOA-OHHH!
Mega-Oogie: WHOA-OHHH!
Malina: WHOA-OOOOOOHHH!
Mega-Oogie: HA! HA! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Malina Lassos Oogie Around His Neck And Burns Him.
Malina: UNCLE JACK'S THE ONLY PUMPKIN KING!
Oogie Creates Dense Thorns Around Malina
Who Ignites Her Body With Fire And Burns Them To Ash.
She Takes Out Her Duel Guns And Starts Shooting.
Malina: IT'S OVER!
YOUR FINISHED!
YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY!
YOU!?, THE NEW PUMPKIN KING!?: THAT WILL BE THE DAY!
Mega-Oogie: How Feeble...How Childish.
IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT!?
Oh, You think Your a Ghost Rider, Girl...But I Say You Are NOT!
Oogie's Body Charges With Green Energy
Malina Takes Out her Hellfire Shotgun And Charges It With Fire.
"I'M THE TRUE PUMPKIN KING!
"Your King Of NOTHING!
Oogie Begins Shooting Green Energy Rapidly At Malina From Everywhere...
Malina Does Her Best to Dodge Them, And Fires Her Shot Gun At Openings.
Mega-Oogie: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!
NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOu TO SEE...WHAT It REALLY MEANS TO "SCARE"!
CUZ', I'M A GAMBLING BOOGIE MAN, ALTHOUGH I DON'T PLAY FAIR!
It's Much More Fun, I Must Confess...With LIVES ON THE LINE!
Not MINE, Of Course...But YOURS, Dear Girl: Now, That Would Be Just Fine.
Malina: Whoa-Ohh.
Mega-Oogie: Whao-Ohh.
Malina: Whoa-Ohh.
Mega-Oogie: HA! HA! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Malina Aimes Her Shotgun At Mega-Oogie.
Malina: Uncle Jack's The ONLY PUMPKIN KING!
Malina Fires Her Shotgun, Which Heavily Damages Oogie.
[End Of Song]
Mega Oogie Begins To Fall Apart.
He Struggles To Keep Himself Together.
"YOU...WILL NOT...STOP ME!
"Oh, yes I Will.
Allow Me To Show You What TRUE TERROR IS!
Malina's Eye Sockets Glowed As She Unleashed Her "Terror" Power On Oogie.
In a Split-Second, Oogie Became Overcome With Fear...Seeing Malina As a "Zarathos"-Like Monster.
"no...No...NO!
K-Keep AWAY!, YOUR SCARING ME!
No!-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Consumed By Absoloute Terror...Oogie Boogie Completly Falls Apart.
Until, There Is Nothing Left Of Him...But Useless Junk, An Empty Cloth...And a Single, Green Bug.
The Insect Flees In terror And Disappears Within The Darkness Of The Woods.
Malina Changes Back To Normal.
She Smiles As Her Horse returns To her.
"i did it...i really am a ghost rider.
The Horse Neighs.
"now, to help my brother.
Malina Gets On her Horse And Rides For Halloween Town.
[Hours Earlier]
Jackie Faces The Monsterous Form Of the Demon Reaper Pumpkinator Beast...
It Dwarfs Him In Sheer Size And Power, But Jackie Remains Calm In The Face Of Danger.
(("I Am Gonna CHEW YOU UP, And Spit You OOOOOUT!)) Growled The Demon Reaper
"Careful...I Could Give You Indigestion.
The Demon Reaper Roared Loudly...
It Sweeped The Roof With It's Hand, Hoping To Sweep Jackie Away.
But, The Young Ghost Rider Leaped Up Into The Air And Dodged It...Effectivly Swatting His Face.
In Rage, The Demon Reaper Slammed On The Ground Hard...Trying To Crush Jackie.
Jackie Avoids This, And Shoots a Hellfire Ball At His Hand, Burning It.
The Demon reaper Wails In Pain...
Jackie Then Throws His Chain At It's Head And Pulls It Down.
The Demon Reaper's Massive Head In Planted Into The Roof...
Jackie Takes This Oppertunity, And Savagly Slashes At It's Face With His Hellfire Chain Scythe.
Nearby, Lily Phantom Eyes This And Smiles.
"perfect...
The Ghost Mutant Charges a Massive Energy Orb
And Tosses It At The Demon Reaper, Hitting It In The Back At FULL FORCE.
The Demon reaper Jerks It's Head Back And Roars In Pain And Agony.
Jackie Eyes It's Giant Mouth Full Of Teeth Opening Wide...And Jumps Into The Dark Abyss.
The Demon Reaper's Jaws Slam Shut.
"WHAT'S JACKIE DOING!? Exclaimed Mandy
Amanda Laughed.
"Maybe The Brat Finally See's No Hope And Killed Himself.
Mandy Slugged Amanda Hard In The Jaw, causing a Loud Cracking Sound To be Heard.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
Amanda Spits Out Bloody Saliva
"oww... Said Amanda Emotionlessly
Mandy Turned To Her Husband.
"Jack, Do You Know What's Going On?
Jack Reaver Looked Up At The Demon Reaper...Which Stood Still.
Almost As If It Was Distracted, Frozen or Just Completly Paralysed.
"I'm Not Entirely Sure...
But, If I Had To Guess: Jackie Is Going Right To The Source Of The Problem.
"Grim Junior? Said Mandy
"Yes...
Jack Skellington Eyed This With Curiousity.
"Can He REALLY Defeat It By taking Down That Boy?
"THAT BRAT CAN'T STOP My SON!
Junior Is STronger Than He's Ever Been, And Reaver's Brat Is NOTHING!, He's-
Mandy Slams Her Fist Into Amanda's Stomach.
As Amanda Fell To her Knees In Pain, Mandy glared At her.
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO SHUT IT!
Amanda Glared At Mandy.
"THAT'S IT!, I'M GONNA-
Skellington Binds Amanda With His Soul Robber.
"We'll Have NONE OF THAT!
Malina Soon Returns.
"MOTHER!, FATHER!
"Malina! Said Mandy With Joy
Malina Got Off Her Horse And Ran Up To Her Mother, Who Hugged Her.
"Where Is My Brother!?
"Inside De' Demon Reaper. Said Grim
"WHAT!?
[Meanwhile, Deep Within The Demon Reaper]
Jackie Walked Through a Pitch Black Area.
He Didn't Know WHich Was Was Up Or Down...Or Even WHERE HE WAS GOING.
But, He Could Feel he Was getting CLOSE To Where He Needed To Be.
He Then Noticed He Was In Human Form, Now.
"great...just perfect.
Flesh And Blood Instead Of Fire And Bone
Soon, Dark Tenticals Appeared And Tried To Grab Him.
He Used His Hellfire And Burned Them Off, They Retreated In Pain.
"so...you have arrived. Said Grim Jr.
Jackie Turned And Saw a Strange Figure.
Half Of The Figure Was Grim Jr, Now In a Human Form...
The Other Half Was The Demon Symbiote Itself.
"I've Been Waiting For You To Arrive, You Imposter.
(("SO HAVE WE!)) Said The Demon Symbiote
Jackie Glared At Him.
"Junior, This HAS TO STOP!
Your Trying To Destroy Innocent People, I Cannot Allow This!
Grim Junior Ignored Him.
"Your Want To Be So Much Like Your Father, Don't You?
Jackie Glared At Him.
"I Don't See How That's Any Of Your Busine-
"ANSWER THE QUESTION!
Jackie Sighed.
"yes...i do.
I'm Proud Of What My Father Does...
And, All I Even Wanted to be Was Make My Parents Proud Of Me.
"I can relate...
I too Once Tried To make Them Proud, But Nothing I Did Ever Could Get There Attention.
Minnie Always Had The Limelight, She Had Talents...Talents I Didn't.
"My Sister Has Talents, Too.
Only, I WAS NEVER JEALOUS OF HER!
"Yes...I Noticed.
Our Lives Are So ALike, Yet So Very Different...I feel Like We're BROTHERS.
"YOUR NO BROTHER OF MINE!
And I Am NOTHING LIKE YOU!, Your Trying To Destroy The World...I'M TRYING TO SAVE IT FROM YOU!
Grim Jr. Grinned.
"Your Nothing Like Me?
I'm Simply Repaying What Your Father Did.
"MY DAD NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU!
"Yes...He...DID!
By Changing My Mom's Past, he DESTROYED MY WORLD!
I Had Friends...Family...a g-girl that i liked...MY WHOLE LIFE, GONE!
And All Because Of Your Father!, He Changed My Mom...Made Her YOUR MOM!
Do You Have ANY IDEA What It's Like To NOT EVEN EXIST!?, Knowing That YOUR NOT REAL, ANYMORE?!
My Mother Ruled The World, She Made It Stable And Secure...Your Father UN-DID HER HARD WORK!
"Dad Saved The World From Being destroyed.
"BY DESTROYING MINE!?
"YOUR WORLD WAS BUILT ON DESTRUCTION, DEATH AND EVIL!
I'm Sorry You've Lost So Much, But Amanda Couldn't Be Allowed To Dominate The World.
"Yes...And For destroying OUR WORLD, We Will destroy THIS WORLD!
I Hate Your Father For What He's Done...And, I Hate His Children
So, I Hate You And Your Sister, Too...Makes Me Sick We're Even "RELATED"
"I Can't Let You WIn, Junior...Too Many Innocent Lives Are Counting On Me.
"There Are No Innocences...Just the Next VICTIM!
(("YESSSSS...DESTROY THE RIDER!))
Grim Jr. Raises His Hand, And More Tenticals Appeared And Grabbed Jackie.
The Struggle Caused Him To Lose His Strength More Quickly...And He Still Couldn't Change Back.
"It's Over, Reaver...GIVE-IT-UP.
"n-never...
"then, die.
The Tenticals Began To Drain Jackie's Life Force.
Jackie Began To Lose Himself, And Blacked Out For a Few minutes.
[Dream World]
"W-Where Am I?
"You Are In The Central Control Of This Symbiote...I Brought You here.
"You Are You?
Light Came On...
Jackie Saw a Man With a "S" Shaped Head
With Black Skin, Green Eyes And Dressed In a Black And Red Business Suit.
"Uncle Nergal?
"It's Nergal Sr., Acually...
And, I Am Not THE Negal...a Copy That's Implanted In This Nergal Symbiote.
"NERGAl SYMBIOTE!?
"Yes...In Amanda's Timeline, The Symbiote Came From MY BLOODLINE.
I Have Come To You So I Can Help you Stop The Demon Reaper.
"Why?
"Because I Detest Mindless Violence And Death...
I've Tried To Keep This Symbiote Under Control, But It Hasn't Been Working...Junior Is TOO STRONG.
"Why Can't My Powers Work In here?
"Because Inside The Symbiote's Core, You Are All Spirit...That's Why Grim Jr. Is Flesh Now.
"Then, How Can I Beat Him Without My Powers!?
"You May Not Have Your Full Powers, here...
But, That Doesn't Mean Your Powers Are Useless.
"What do You mean?
"Remember When You Were Starting Out...And You had Hellfire Shooting From Your Hands?
"Yeah...
"You can Unleash That Kind Of Power In FULLER AMMOUNTS.
You May Be Flesh Instead Of Bones...But, Your Still HELLFIRE.
"Then...How Can I-
"Focus.
Jackie Sighs.
He Closes His Eyes And Focuses Hard...His Body Glowing.
Nergal Smiles.
"Exellent...
[End Of Dream]
"WHAT!? Exclaimed Grim Jr.
He Saw The Tenticals Grip On Jackie Weaken.
(("Grandfather is up to his old tricks again!))
Jackie Opens His Eyes, Which Are Amber.
"SURPRISE!
Jackie's Body Errupts Into Fire...But, Remains Flesh And Blood.
"NO!
YOU CAN'T HAVE POWER HERE!
"Yes, I can...
Jackie Draws Out His Hellfire Chain Scythe And Lunges At Grim Jr.
He Draws Out his Scythe And Teh Two Duel With the Blades Of Metal And Fire.
"YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME!, I AM THE DEMON REAPER!
"And I...AM THE GHOST RIDER!
(("aim for the eye, reaver...)) Said The Voice Of Nergal Sr.
Jackie Rasised His Helfire Scythe And Slashed At The Symbiote's Eye.
Grim Jr. And The Symbiote Bothe Wailed In Pain As Hellfire Burned Away At The Shadowed World.
"burn in hell, demon reaper... Said Jackie
[Meanwhile, Outside]
The demon Reaper Beast Roars In Pain As Fire Bursts From Various Parts Of It's Body.
Everyone Wached At It Combusts Into Flames And Burns From the Inside Out...
It Soon Explodes In a Blinding Inferno...Brighter Than the Sun, And Hotter Than a Volcano.
Amanda Stares In Disbelief And Rage.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
