"We'll Go Together…."
Chapter 12
Sora and Jack followed Zero through the town, all while fighting off Heartless after Heartless that were left behind as Shadow Oogie made off with Kairi. The ghostly canine soon led them to a crypt deep within the graveyard. "Zero, is this where Oogie took Kairi too?" asked the Pumpkin King. Zero barked a "yes", but quickly fled as more Heartless spawned behind them. "Jack, you go and find the girls. I'll handle the Heartless," said Sora, as he readied his keyblade for another session of Heartless killing. "Alright, just be careful," said Jack as he entered the crypt.
As Jack entered the crypt, he could hear too familiar voices talking. "Jack!" cried Sally as she saw that he was in the entryway. The two girls then ran over to Jack, who took the rag doll's hands in his own. "Sally, I'm so happy you are safe. We have to get out of here. Kairi, Sora is outside clearing out the Heartless so we have a clean getaway." They were about to leave the crypt, when a large cage came down from the ceiling and entrapped Sally and Kairi inside. "What's this?" cried Jack as the cage went back up into the air and came back down, this time, connected to a Heartless that appeared the last time Sora came to Halloween Town: Prison Keeper. "Let them go this instant!" Jack shouted to the Heartless. The Prison Keeper did not listen, and started attacking Jack. He leaped around the room, dodging each of Prison Keepers attacks, and, with a cry of "Soul Robber!" Jack began attacking the creature which held his friends captive within.
Jack went to attack again, but the Soul Robber was caught in Prison Keeper's hand. The Heartless then proceeded to spin Jack around the room, and throw him against the wall. It continued to do this several times, until it got sick of it, and let Jack go, sending him into a wall again. That last slam knocked Jack's head off in the process. Jack's body then came over and put his head back, but he stumbled a bit. Jack was still a bit tired from fighting off the Heartless on the way here, and was a bit of a disadvantage. Jack was panting as he took another blow from Prison Keeper. "I got to save Sally and Kairi…" thought Jack as he got up only to be knocked down again. "I wish there was a way to help him," said Kairi. "I think there is," said Sally, as she began a song to lift Jack's spirits.
----------"Sally's Song Remix" (sang to the tune of the original, but with a faster tempo)-------
Sally:
We
should have known not to believe
And things would not have turned
so bad
Jack:
It's
true his plan was to deceive
But that should not make you so sad
Sally:
But
danger waits at every turn
Jack:
And
I am ready
To set things right here
Sally:
How
can you say that you will be okay?
And come back another day?
What will become of our dear town?
Now that we've let
our leader down
Jack:
You
know, dear Sally, that's not true
We can take this town back, me
and you
Sally:
There's
so much danger yet to face
Jack:
But
I'm not worried, back home I hurried
Jack/Sally:
Now
we must stop
That evil Oogie's scheme
And save our Halloween
Sally:
We
should have known not to believe
And things would not have turned
so bad
Jack:
It's
true his plan was to deceive
But that should not make you so sad
Sally:
But
danger waits at every turn
Jack:
And
I am ready
To set things right here
Sally:
How
can you say that you will be okay?
And come back another day?
What will become of our dear town?
Now that we've let
our leader down
Jack:
You
know, dear Sally, that's not true
We can take this town back, me
and you
Sally:
There's
so much danger yet to face
Jack:
But
I'm not worried, back home I hurried
Sally:
You
surely will
Now we all count on you
To see this
trouble through
We should have known not to believe
And things would not have turned so bad
Jack:
It's
true his plan was to deceive
But that should not make you so sad
Sally:
But
danger waits at every turn
Jack:
And
I am ready
To set things right here
Sally:
How
can you say that you will be okay?
And come back another day?
What will become of our dear town?
Now that we've let

Jack:
You

We can take this town back, me
and you
Sally:
There's
so much danger yet to face
Jack:
But
I'm not worried, back home I hurried
Jack/Sally:
If
we work hard
We'll overcome our shame
And beat him at his
game
As they sang, Jack found a new source of strength build up inside him. He easily dodged all of Prison Keeper's attacks, and countered with his own. With one good smack of the Soul Robber, Prison Keeper dropped the cage the girls were in, and then preceded to fall apart and die. Jack broke the lock on the cage, and Sally and Kairi walked out of the crypt with Jack.
When they came out, they found Sora present there with the Mayor. "Jack, we found out where all of the Heartless are coming from!" said the Mayor. "How did you find out?" asked Jack. "After I beat the Heartless, I ran back to town to inform the Mayor you came back. That's when we saw more Heartless appear from Dr. Finklestein's lab" said Sora. "We can go back to my house and come up with a plan," said the Mayor. They then made their way back to town, as to confront the doctor as to why the Heartless were coming from the lab.
