Thechaosmaster: Hey, everyone, I know, I'm four days late, but, I have an honest to god good reasoning behind it, you see I...

Blossom: He hated writing The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Chaos: God damnit! Red, I was going to make a great excuse for why I was late, but, whatever, I don't have time for this, here is the next chapter, just knw, I hated this world, but I don't know why.

Red: Sorry, boss. But, as Chaos said, Thechaosmaster doesn't own Kingdom Hearts nor Disney, they belong to their rightful owners!

Chapter 15: A Very Halloween Christmas

After departing from Agrabah, Jeri, who was taking a turn piloting the Gummi Ship through the new Highway, then she turned to Takato and said, "Well, that was, something."

Takato nodded and said, "Yeah, sure was."

Jeri then asked, "So, what's the next world we're heading to?"

Takato then looked at the navigation's array, then said, "Well, according to the scanner, we'll be arriving at Halloween Town."

Renamon then asked, "Halloween Town? Isn't that that world with that other Jack and where you guys had to wear costumes or something like that?"

Rika nodded and said, "Yeah, and Goggle-Prince here became Hazzardmon for a bit. Wings and all, so he could fly around during that time."

Jeri looked at then looked at Takato and asked, "Uh, how is that possible?"

Takato shrugged, and said, "No clue. Now then, let's head down there." Everyone nodded then prepared for a landing.

***Meanwhile***

Down in the forests of Halloween Town, we find our old friend Jack Skellington walking through some creepy looking forest, with his ever loyal ghost dog, Zero, by his side. Then Jack came up to a clearing with several doors surrounding the area, one had a decorative egg on it, another had a heart, but the one that really stuck out, was the one that had a Christmas Tree on it.

Jack then walked up to said tree and, being the curious fellow he was, opened the door, and when he did, small specks of snow flurries blew out from the door, but then the snow started to circle around Jack, and he ended up falling into the door.

***Back with our regular heroes***

The gang arrived at the entrance of Halloween Town, but they were now wearing new costumes, Sora was wearing a gothic version of his outfit, Goofy now looked like Frankenstein's monster, and Donald was now a mummy, with his upper half floating, somehow.

As for our Tamers, Takato was now wearing a light pink shirt with hexagon patterns sewn into it, a yellow and black necktie, a light green dress shirt, with a dark green dress shirt over it, and a purple coat with matching pants. It also seemed as if his hair was dyed green, and had white face paint on, and even though he had a straight face, there was red lipstick on him that resembled a sinister smile.

Rika was now wearing a one piece red and black jester suite, with white floral neck piece, she too looked like she was wearing face paint. And it looked like her hair was tied differently, with two pony tails, one with red color highlights at the end, and the other had blue highlights.

As for Henry, he was now wearing a jacket that looked like a combination of a Swedish army jacket and a French Revolution coat amalgamated together, that was left unzipped showing a sort of, chest plate. He also wore a strange kind of mask, almost like a wild animal barring it's teeth, but it only covered parts of his face, it wrapped around his mouth from the sides, then a center piece went in the middle of his face. He was also wearing military styled pants and boots.

Jeri was now wearing a black one piece outfit, with leather boots, a silver belt, and a face mask, and a head piece that looked like cat ears, obviously her costume was more simpler than her friends

Drake looked as he did before, the whole, two larger wings, blood like teeth, sharper claws, the whole nine yards.

Renamon now looked like her shadow counterpart, and Terriermon, sort of looked like a shadow counterpart of his species, only with vampire fangs added into the mix, for, some reason.

Then Sora said, "Man, Halloween Town, ain't this a blast from the past. Right, Takato? Huh, Wah!" Sora turned and jumped in fear at our Tamers. Then he fearfully asked, "What kind of costumes are those?"

Takato looked down at his outfit, then he said, "I don't really know, but for some odd reason, I have the urge to cause mayhem and mischief, as well as try to push someone dressed as a bat to the breaking point. But, I don't know why."

Rika nodded and said, "Same here. And I also want to bash peoples faces in with a comically oversized hammer, for some odd reason." But Rika shrugged.

Then Henry grabbed the sides of his jacket and pulled down on it and, in a muffled and slightly deeper voice said, "And for some reason, I feel like breaking someone's back over my knee. *Shiver* I don't feel comfortable right now."

Jeri then turned to the others and said, "Well, I don't feel anything like that. It must be you guys. Must be some strange rules of the town, right?"

Drake nodded and said, "Yep, it's pretty spooky too."

Donald then said, "Yep, sure looks like Halloween…what?" Donald then looked to his right and saw lit candles leading to the town.

Everyone turned to where Donald was looking, but was scared by Zero.

"Hey, it's Zero!" Sora said happily.

And Takato asked, "How've you been, boy?"

Zero then flew off into Town, then Takato said, "Let's go check out what's going on around town."

Everyone nodded, then followed Zero into town. Once in town, everyone noticed that there were orange lights decorating Halloween Town, as well as a large ramp.

Sora looked at the ramp and asked, "What's that for?"

Then everyone heard bells ringing, but the way they chimed, it almost sounded like Christmas bells. Then everyone searched for the source of the bells, until Donald looked up and said, "It's Jack!"

Everyone looked up and saw Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King himself, riding on a Halloween version of Santa's Sleigh, complete with skeleton reindeer pulling it through the air.

Then everyone watched as the sleigh flew onto the ramp, and stopped right in front of our heroes. Then Jack waved at our heroes and happily said, "Sora, Donald, Goofy, Takato, Rika, and Hazzardmon! Welcome back, and Merry Christmas!"

Then Drake replied with, "It's…Drake, now, Jack. *Sigh* Really wishing I had the insight back then, now."

Takato blinked. Once. Twice. And a third time. Then Sora asked, "Merry Christmas?"

And Takato, in a confused voice, asked, "Uh, don't you mean, 'Happy Halloween'?"

Jack nodded, then he said, "Of course. Halloween greetings from Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King." Jack then made a frightening face, then he said, "Forgive me. I'm in a Christmas mood." Jack then noticed the new faces, and he asked, "Hey, whose the new scares?"

Henry politely bowed, then he said, "Name's Henry Wong, this here, is my partner, Terriermon."

Terriermon did a mock salute, then he said, "'Sup?"

Rika then pointed to her partner and said, "This is Renamon, my partner."

Renamon simply did a silent nod, then Jeri said, "And I'm Jeri Kato."

Jack smiled and said, "Pleasure to meet you. You see, I'm running the show again this year-but I need Sandy Claw's blessing, so I'm off to Christmas Town."

Sora then asked, "'Sandy Claws'?"

Everyone looked at one another and shrugged, then Takato sighed and said, "I have a feeling, he means Santa Claus."

Then Jack jumped on top of the green fountain and he asked, "Aren't these decorations wonderful? This year Halloween Town's going to handle Christmas too! But first! We have to visit Sally. She's working on something no self-respecting Santa Claus can do without. Come along-I'll show you!"

Sora then softly said, "A Halloween Town Christmas…"

Everyone looked at the creepy imagery around and shuddered, then Rika said, "No doubt, this is going to end badly. More so then our last visit here."

Takato nodded, then he said, "No question."

Then Sora, the ever ball of joy and cheerfulness that he was, turned to the others and asked, "Wanna go check it out?"

Then everyone sighed in defeat, well, annoyance in the Tamers case. When no one moved, Jack turned and said, "C'mon, hurry!" Then everyone slowly walked up to Jack.

Then, our heroes soon found themselves in Doctor Finklestein's lab, where Lock, Shock, and Barrel were all working on something.

Then the Dr. removed the top of his scalp, and scratched his brain, literally. That was when Jack and our heroes entered and Jack asked, "Hello, Doctor! Where's Sally?"

Then Finklestein turned to Jack and said, "Can't you see…that I'm in the middle of an experiment?" Then the doctor closed his scalp, hiding his brain yet again.

Then everyone watched as Lock, Shock, and Barrel brought the large piece of metal to the doctors table.

Then everyone looked up to see the sewn together girl, otherwise known as Sally. But she looked kinda depressed.

That was when Lock said, "Hey, this is way too heavy!"

Then Shock said, "Then let's toss it!" The three trouble makers nodded in agreement.

But then Doctor Finklestein said, "You do and you'll be sorry! Now bring it over here."

But then, the trio ignored the warning and said, "Heave-ho!" And threw the piece of metal onto the table, causing it to sparkle, and then, explode.

Sally then sighed sadly, while the troubling trio simply laughed madly while removing their masks. Then they ran out of the lab. But the doctor was not happy. He slammed his hands onto the table and yelled, "Imbecills! Now my experiment is ruined!"

Jack then walked up to Sally and asked, "Sally! Did you finish it? I wanna show my good friends."

Sally shook her head, then she said, "I'm sorry, Jack. I…I need a little bit more time."

Jack then calmly said, "Oh…" He then placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "Well, that's all right. Just as long as it's ready for Christmas!" Then Jack walked out of the lab.

But Sally started, "But… Jack…"

The Pumpkin King turned and said, "I'd best be off. I've got to go get Sandy Claws, right away! Wonderful to see you all again. And nice to meet the rest of you. Good-bye for now!" Then Jack left the lab.

Sora then softly asked, "Go get Santa Claus…?"

Rika then turned to Sora and said, "Oh, no! I know what you're thinking, Airhead. We are not doing it! No way! Forget it!"

But then Sally asked, "Please, kids. I'm afraid something terrible will happen if Jack goes through with this."

Rika scoffed and said, "You can say that again."

Takato looked to his brother-in-all-but-blood, and said, "Sora? You aren't really thinking about it, are you?" But Sora had a stupid smile on his face, Takato sighed in defeat and said, "Of course you are."

That was when Jack entered the lab again and asked, "Are those strange-looking fellows in the town square with you?"

Jeri looked at the Pumpkin King in confusion, and asked, "Huh? What 'fellows'?"

Then Jack scratched his head and said, "You know, the ones who wanted to spoil Halloween AND Christmas? What are they called again…Heartless?"

Rika scoffed and said, "No, they're not. But we'd be happy to send them packing just the same."

Takato nodded and said, "It's kinda our job these days."

Then Sora cheerfully said, "And then we can go and see Santa!" And jumped in joy. But everyone was not amused, and Sora actually jumped back at the faces his friends were making, then he said, "But first, the Heartless!"

Then everyone ran outside and found a bunch of Weight Knights dancing around Town Square, with the mayor shivering in fright. "Now hear this, you…you things! Leave Halloween Town at once…by order of the mayor!" When that didn't work, the mayor said, "Jack? Where are you? I'm only an elected official…I can't handle this by myself." Then Jack walked up and the mayor said, "Jack!"

Then Sora and the others arrived, weapons in hands, Takato with his ZVR, Rika with her Force Of Balance, and Henry, using his Soul's Guardian for a while, and Jeri with her with her Noble Lion, and Sora, with his new Keyblade, which looked like a ships mast for the blade, and steering wheel for the hand guard, and the pirates emblem on the center, as well as a copy of the Aztec treasure for the token. Then Sora said, "We're on it!"

Rika nodded, then she said, "Don't get distracted, Airhead."

Then everyone charged at the Heartless, there were Weight Knights, Shadows, and Soldiers. And everyone was taking care of them, Jeri noticed that Jack Skellington used only Magic, just like Donald, to attack, but just when a Solider was about to attack her from behind, she spun around it, and sliced it in half, then when she sheathed her sword, the Heartless vanished into darkness.

Then after a short fight, all the Heartless were gone. Then Jack asked, "How is Sandy Claws supposed to relax with all this going on? That's it, fellows! Sandy Claws needs bodyguards. Are you up to the task?"

Sora instantly said, "Yeah!"

But the others, not so much. "Us?" Asked Donald. But they decided to try to help out anyways, then Jack led them to where Santa's place was.

***Meanwhile***

Strolling through the town on their walking bathtub, Lock, Shock, and Barrel were discussing what part to bring next. Shock then asked, "What should we bring along next time?"

To which Lock said, "A bucket full of…caterpillars!"

But Barrel shook his head and said, "Or something even worse!"

That was when the bathtub stopped in front of an evil looking witch, oh, wait, nevermind, it's just Maleficent. Then Shock asked, "Whose that?"

And Barrel described her perfectly, "Some old hag!"

Then the 'Mistress Of All Evil' exclaimed, "Silence!"

Then Shock asked, "A witch?"

Maleficent then extended her hand and green fire erupted from her arm, frightening the kids, then she said, "Hmm…perhaps you three could be of use to me. Come along, all of you. I'll show you the true meaning of 'mischief'."

***Back with our heroes***

After everyone was ready to roll, Jack said, "All right, bodyguards! Christmas Town is this way! The doorway is in the woods just past the graveyard!"

Then, after fighting off some pesky Heartless, our heroes made it past the graveyard and into a place called the 'Hinterlands'. There our heroes saw multiple doors, possibly representing each holliday. Like Fourth Of July, Valentine's Day, St. Patricks Day, Easter, and Thanksgiving. But it was the Christmas Door that everyone headed to.

Jack then said, "Here it is! The door to Christmas Town. The spooks of Halloween Town can get so tiresome year after year. I wanted something new. And I found this!" Sora took great interest in the story, the others, not so much. Then Jack said, "Beyond this door is a would filled with wonders…the likes of which you've never seen!"

The more and more the story was heard, the more and more Sora seemed to be drawn into it, then Jack said, "At first I couldn't believe my eyes! Everything was so fresh and exciting!"

Then Sora impatiently said, "C'mon! Just open it!"

Rika then scoffed and said, "Maybe we will, and maybe… I'll just kick your sorry butt into the door and lock it up tightly."

Jack then grabbed the doorknob and opened the door to Christmas Town, then Sora jumped in.

Takato shook his head and said, "Captain Inpatient." Then he and the others all jumped in after him.

Then everyone fell down a deep hole and Takato groaned and in an annoyed voice, he said, "It's like Wonderland all over again!"

Then everyone landed outside and were once again wearing new clothing, Sora was wearing a black Santa outfit, Takato was wearing a red and black elf outfit, Rika looked like Mrs. Claus, Henry looked like a toy maker, Jeri and Goofy looked like reindeer, Donald looked like a snowman, and all of the Digimon had different Christmas decorations adoring them.

Then Sora said, "Coooo!"

Takato looked at him and the others and said, "Really? Another costume change?"

Jeri looked at herself and said, "Well, it's as you guys said, We sometimes have to blend in to the world we enter, right? So, I guess, because of the different seasonal doors, we would have to wear seasonal outfits for the holiday doors, right?"

But really, no one really knew the logic behind blending in to the environment any more, so, they just accepted it and moved on.

Donald then looked around and was amazed by Christmas Town.

Takato looked around, then he said, "Heh, was that a pun?"

But everyone, by that I mean, everyone but the Tamers, saw Christmas Town and were amazed by it's beauty. The Tamers still found it cool, but didn't really voice their surprise all that much.

Then Donald asked, "So where's Santa?"

Then Jack pointed down the hill and said, "In his workshop."

Rika scoffed and said, "Obiviously."

Jack then turned to our heroes and asked, "Well, shall we?"

Takato sighed, then he said, "Yeah, might as well."

Drake looked at his father and asked, "You okay, Takatomon?"

Said prince sighed and he said, "Not really." His friends looked at him, then he said, "I mean, if Santa is real, then, well, THAT incident might have to come up, and the less said about that, the better."

Everyone, i.e. the Tamers, nodded in slight agreement to that, then everyone headed down the mountain, once the heroes got down, they saw the different houses decorated in blinding lights and garland, and other items.

But, that was when the Heartless showed up, three Driller Moles and one 'Toy Soldier'. Then Sora asked, "Here too?!"

Then Jack said, "En garde, loyal bodyguards!"

Everyone nodded, then they charged in and started attacking left and right, Takato and Jeri worked together to take out the Toy Soldier, while Sora and Jack worked together to create some spectacular combos, even the Digimon got into the action, heh, Drake even had some fun.

Drake grabbed two handfuls of snow, then chucked them into another Jack In A Box's eyes, then he unleashed another Pyrofist One-Two knockout punch. Drake smirked and said, "Whoes to say that you can't teach an old Digimon new tricks?"

Then, once the final Heartless was destroyed, Donald said, "Christmas is in big trouble!"

Then Goofy covered his mouth and worriedly said, "Gawrsh, we can't let anything bad happen to Christmas."

Takato nodded and he said, "Don't worry, we'll get things squared away soon enough."

And everyone nodded in agreement. Then Jack walked up and said, "That's where Sandy Claws lives." Jack then pointed to the large building with a chimney the size of Doug Dimmadome's hat. (A/N Joke is just here for jokey things)

Then everyone entered Santa''s house, and after walking for a bit, our heroes found themselves looking at Santa, with each of our heroes having different reactions.

"You have GOT to be kidding me." Rika said in complete and total disbelief.

"Oi vey. Suzie's gonna want a laundry list of presents she wants to ask Santa for Christmas, I just know it." Henry said in an exhausted tone while placing a hand over his head.

And Takato? Well, "I just hope he doesn't bring up you-know-who-mon, because, I really want to get over it." Stated Takato.

Jeri then said, "Well, at this point, I doubt anything could surprise me."

Drake chuckled and said, "Ten bucks says you're wrong."

Then Santa looked over to our heroes and said, "Well, hello everyone. Did you come to see if you're on my 'nice' list?"

Then Sora and the others walked up and Santa asked, "Your name?"

And Sora nervously said, "Um, Sora, sir."

Then Santa nodded and started to look down his list, then he turned to Sora and said, "Let's see…Sora…Here you are. Well, according to my list, Sora…seven years ago you told everyone you did not believe in Santa Clause…Oh, that's unfortunate." He then turned to Rika and asked, "And your names?"

Rika lightly scoffed and said, "After what I was like for nine years? Psh, I doubt that I will be on the 'nice' list for a while. But, whatever, I need a laugh, so, Nonika, Rika."

Santa then looked at his list and said, "Ah, here you are. Miss Nonika 'Ruki' Rika? Hmm. It seems you had a bit of a mean streak two years ago."

Rika scoffed and said, "Mean streak doesn't even cut it. Yeah, I admit that I was a cold hearted girl for nine years of my life, but two years ago? Heh, those were the days when I still went by my moniker of the 'Digimon Ice Queen'. A title that I still hold to this day. Just for different reasons now." Rika said proudly.

Santa nodded, then he said, "Ture, but, you have matured since then, and have proven yourself to belong on my nice list." Rika was surprised, but you wouldn't be able to tell that by just looking at her face, not even if you were Sherlock Homes. The only slight change to her was her eyebrows raising by a fraction of an inch.

Then Santa turned to Henry. Henry just nodded and said, "Wong Henry, sir."

Santa, once again looked at his list, then he said, "Ah, here we are, Henry 'Lee' Wong. While you did hurt someone after Kendo practice, the fact that you felt guilt, shows how nice you are. You too, are on my nice list." Henry simply bowed in gratitude.

Santa looked to Jeri. "Kato Jeri." Replied our favorite swordswomen.

Santa then turned to Jeri, then looked at his list and said, "Ah, yes. Miss Kato 'Juri' Jeri. You have had problems accepting your stepmother, is that correct?"

Jeri looked down in shame and nodded and said, "Yes, sir. I was blinded by my own grief towards my mother passing, and I resented my father for marrying someone else so quickly, and I just couldn't get along with her, but it wasn't until two years ago when I was able to let go of my resentment."

Santa nodded, then he said, "True in those regards, knowing and accepting your own failures shows growth and maturity, Miss Jeri. And you too are on my nice list." Jeri smiled in thanks at that remark.

Then Santa turned to Takato, who politely bowed and nervously said, "Uh, Matsuki Takato, sir."

That name seemed to cause Santa to blink a few times, then he looked down at his list and said, "Ah, yes. Matsuki Takato, otherwise known to your friends and family by your moniker the 'Tamer Of Hazard.' And son of Ansem The Wise. Yes, I've heard of you. Now, do you believe you are on my nice list, Takato?"

Takato blinked a few times, then he leaned against a wall and looked to the ceiling, then he sighed sadly and said, "In all honesty, I believe that I should be on the nice list. But at the same time, I feel that I shouldn't be on it as well."

Santa looked at the young prince in surprise, in fact, everyone did, then Saint Nick asked, "And, why is that, Takato?"

Takato sadly sighed, then he took out his Digital Hazard's necklace, then he said, "Because of the nightmare that I had unleashed two years ago. Forced Guilmon to become… Megidramon." You could just hear in his tone of voice that even feared saying the creatures name. And it goes to show, that sometimes, scars never heal fully, just gets buried beneath other memories.

At that name, everyone, even Santa and the elves eyes widened in shock, then Takato nodded and said, "Yes, back when Impmon, who had become Beelzemon, deleted Jeri's partner Leomon, I was consumed with rage, and tapped into the Hazard's power, and transformed my best friend, into a monster."

Takato actually looked like he was going to cry, then he said, "And the worst part? Even after Megidramon returned to being Guilmon, and after we Biomerged to create the Royal Knight, Gallantmon, we still wanted revenge on the Demon Lord of Gluttony. It was only because Jeri asked us to spare Belezemon, that we stopped, if she didn't, we probably would have deleted him on the spot.

And yet, even after all I've been through, fighting the Parasimon incident, the Heartless invasion, and last year's journey, which led me to befriend the Hazard himself and come to respect and forgive him for what has happened to me.

And yet, I have yet to forgive myself for that incident, and, I still have nightmares about it." Takato then looked down at his Golden D-Ark and read the Digicode that said, 'Tamer' and he said, "I messed up so badly that day, so much so, that my own anger, and unleashing an uncontrolled and unfiltered potential of the Hazard, caused my original D-Ark, to shatter into a million pieces, and only after me and Guilmon separated did I receive this new one. I know that it should represent me accepting the past and moving on from it, and become a better Tamer, but…I can't.

And now I have to learn to accept the Hazard yet again, and while the voices in my head think I don't realize it, I do know that I am suppressing the Hazard's power. Even as strong as I am, right now, I am not strong enough to use Hazzado's power. My return trip home has taught me that.

And, if not for Rowena, the Zero Unit, and Hazzado's sister, I probably would have hurt my friends, or worse. That is why I believe myself not to be ready to use Hazzado's power. Not yet, at least. I want to be a better person, one that everyone can be proud of. Be the Tamer I can be proud of, a leader my friends, my team can be proud of. And a king, that my father can be proud of. A true king. The King Of Hazard, perhaps one day, that will become my new title."

Everyone was quite after a while, no one spoke, they all just stared at Takato, who, in all his time being a Tamer, Keyblade wielder, or even a known prince, has ever seen him talk like this.

Then Santa looked down at his list, then at the Goggle-Headed Prince, then he said, "Yes, you have made mistakes in the past, Takato. But it is the fact that you admit these mistakes shows that you regret them, just like with Rika, Henry, and Jeri, you all make mistakes, but you all learned and grew from them, and as such, you are all on the nice list."

Takato was shocked, no, not shocked, he was floored by that revelation, then Donald asked, "How about Donald and Goofy?" Santa looked down at his list, and he nodded.

Santa then looked to the Digimon and asked them the same question, then Drake shook his head and said, "In all honesty, I don't really care about that knowledge, the only gift that I will ever cherish, is being by Takatomon's side, he may be my partner, but he is still a father to me."

Takato blushed in embarrassment, then Terriermon said, "Now wait a minute…"

But Renamon grabbed him by his ears and said, "Drake is right, we have our partners, that's all that we need. And Terriermon, everyone here knows that you are on the top of the naughty list."

Everyone laughed, then Jack Skellington asked, "Am I on your list too, by any chance? It's me, Jack!"

That name surprised Ol' Saint Nick, who asked, "Jack Skellington!?" But before any more conversation can accrue, there is a sound coming from Santa's workshop, then Santa asked, "What sort of trouble did you bring this time?"

Sora and the others turned to Jack and asked, "This time?"

"It's a long story!" Jack explained, but not really.

Takato looked to his friends and asked, "You ready?"

Everyone nodded, then they rushed into Santa's Workshop to see what the ruckus is about.

Everyone entered and saw Santa looking about, but found noting out of the ordinary, as of yet. Then Takato said, "It's way too quite in here."

Sora actually nodded, then he said, "Yeah, after the last thousand times you guys say that, I know what you mean. But, just what could have made that noise?"

Meanwhile, nearby, a voice asked, "Why do we have to hide?"

Then Maleficent said, "Silence! Well, this is a pleasant surprise. That fool Jack brought Sora, Takato and those other brats with him. Now we can deal with them all at once!"

Then Shock asked, "What do you want us to do?" Though, from the tone of her voice, it was hard to tell if it was excitement, fear, concern, or even impatience.

Then Santa yelled, "Who's there!"

Then the trio of trouble makers said, """Busted!"""

Then Maleficent vanished and the three Team Rocket wannabes sprang into trouble making action. Barrel threw a bear trap through a window and made his escape, soon to be followed by Shock and Lock.

Jack said, "It's Lock, Shock, and Barrel!"

Santa sighed and said, "Not those three…"

Jack then said, "I assure you, they're not with us."

Takato nodded and said, "He's right. They must have followed us here somehow."

Rika scoffed and said, "Where those three go, mischief is always following."

Santa nodded in agreement, then he said, "Well, whatever the case, they've been quite naughty. Catch them and bring them back here. They're going to get a lecture."

Then Santa started walking back to his office, but Jack asked, "Uh…Mr. Claws? I wanted to talk to you about Christmas first."

Then Santa exclaimed, "It'll have to wait. I need to see how things are progressing in my workshop."

Jack actually looked sad at that answer, then Sora said, "C'mon, Jack."

"Let's catch those little pranksters." Takato finished.

Jack then sadly said, "Oh, all right, then."

Then everyone headed outside and everyone saw the footprints in the snow. The tracks led all the way back up the mountain. As our heroes tracked the trouble makers, they encountered quite a few Heartless, but nothing that they couldn't handle.

But, as our heroes made it to the top of the hill, they found that the prints led right back to the door to Halloween Town. Takato then said, "Well, let's get those trouble makers." Everyone nodded then they returned to the Spooky Side, and soon followed the prints into the Grave Yard.

***Meanwhile***

Back with the less funnier version of Team Rocket, and Maleficent, they were at the Moonlight Tree, and Maleficent said, I was so looking forward to destroying that ridiculous Christmas Town. But now that Sora and that team of teens and the imbeciles are here I think a change of plan is called for." She then rubbed her staff and said, "Revenge before pleasure, after all."

Then Shock asked, "What kind of revenge?"

Ol' witch face said, (A/N: Look, we all know her name is Maleficent, but I kind get tired of writing her name, so, whatever name I call her, just note that it's for my own humor and to spare me of writing Maleficent every single time she's around. But, for Pete? Eh, he he he. Well, his name calling is for humor in it's entirely.) "The magnificent, malevolent kind, of course."

"That sounds really bad." Lock exclaimed.

Then Shock said, "Like Oogie's kinda bad!"

"And that's super-duper bad!" Barrel exclaimed fearfully. And the three nodded in agreement.

But Queen Witch? She smiled a villains smile and asked, "Oogie Boogie? That bag of incensed insects? Hm. How intriguing. And where might I find him?"

Then Shock exclaimed, "Jack and his dumb, stupid friends destroyed him."

Then ol' witchy said, "Ah yes, now I remember. More intriguing still! I believe I'll bring your master back for you."

Then the troubling trio high-fived each other while Maleficent glowed a bright and malevolent green aura, while the trio's maniacal laughter could be heard.

***Back with Our Heroes***

The gang had made it to the Grave Yard, and Drake noticed the tracks were still fresh, then, after fighting Weight Knights, and Driller Moles, the crew followed them to Moonlight Hill

***Back with team Villain***

Maleficent had just finished bringing the fat tub of bugs back to life, who had just started laughing evily, with the terrible trio hanging onto the tree, then Oogie turned to the Witchy Women, and said, "I feel like a million bugs! I really owe you one for this, Maleficent."

Said Mistress of evil nodded and said, "Indeed you do, Oogie. Do you remember Sora, Donald, Goofy, Takato, Rika, and a large dragon named Hazzardmon?"

Then Oogie exclaimed, "Do I remember them? Ha! You're too much! I'll never forget what they did to me…" But, just as soon as it seemed Oogie was back and ready to cause trouble, the lights that were on in his head, slowly went out, then he asked, "What was it that they did to me?"

He then turned to Lock, Shock, and Barrel, and Shock said, "Squashed you like a bug!"

Then Oogie said, "That sounds bad!"

Then Lock said, "And Jack helped!"

That seemed to enrage Oogie Boogie and he exclaimed, "Even worse!"

Then Barrel stated, "They creamed ya!"

This seemed to cause Oogie to remember what had happened to him, and he said, "That's right, that's right! That's one thing I won't be forgetting any time soon! It's the last thing I remember. And it's the only thing I'll remember until I teach those clowns not to mess with Mr. Oogie Boogie!"

Then, Bellatrix Lestrange chuckled, then she said, "Yes…that's right. That's the spirit. And I have the perfect plan already in mind." She then turned around and asked, "Have you ever heard of Christmas Town?" When she didn't get an answer, she turned and saw that Oogie was sleeping.

Then Lock said, "Mr. Oogie!"

Then Shock said, "Wake up! Wake up!" But still, the sack of grubs slept.

And Barrel said, "We want to see how bad you are!"

Then Queen Evil rubbed her head in annoyance, then she said, "It seems he needs more time to recover. You three-stay here and keep Sora and the others occupied." SHe then sent Oogie Boogie somewhere else, and soon, she too vanished. But, not before leaving behind, a gift. "My Heartless will help you. But do not fail me!"

That was when our heroes arrived, then Sora said, "There they are!"

Drake nodded, then he said, "Yeah, but it looks like we a big Heartless to destroy first."

Takato's scan ability called this thing, 'Prision Keeper.' It was a large, mechanical Heartless that seems to be made out of metal. It had a large egg shaped head, which had a split silver and purple face, bright yellow hands and turquoise arms, glowing eyes, a crack between its eyes, appearing to have been stitched or stapled together. A long, twisted antenna, wrapped up in bandages. And to top it all off, it had a bright golden cage on the bottom of it, which the trouble making kids jumped into.

Then Shock said, "Stop them!"

"Tie 'em down!' Exclaimed Lock.

"Get 'em!" Barrel stated.

Rika groaned and said, "Wonderful, just when things can't get any worse, this happens."

Drake simply chuckled and said, "For some reason, I am not surprised anymore."

But, just as our heroes were about to charge at Prison Keeper, it raised its cage over its head, then started banging on it, and, to the shock of everyone, Shock herself, fell into the mouth of the Heartless.

Rika shuddered, then she said, "Okay, that just isn't right." And everyone nodded in agreement.

Takato sighed and he said, "Now we have to defeat the Heartless, and make sure the kids don't get hurt in the process."

Then Takato and Drake nodded to one another, and Takato threw the ZVR at his son, who caught it mid air, then he said, "Jeri's been teaching me the basics about magic, and while Renamon and Terriermon seem to be fine with what they have, I have no problem learning a few new tricks. Plus, it's a neat ace to have. Now, FIRE!" Then, from the base of the ZVR, Drake unleashed three balls of fire at the Heartless.

(A/N: Come on, I figure that Drake needed some kind of boost, and, it is either this, or I end up creating another Keyblade for Drake, which, while that may be cool, I will not be doing. Because…Can a Digimon be seen as worthy of wielding a Keyblade of their own? The only reason why Drake can use Takato's is because Takato is letting Drake use it. But, more on that later. Back to the action!)

The Prison Keeper was then hit by the three balls of fire, and then retaliated by sending dark magic everywhere. Then Takato, Rika, Henry, Jeri and Drake all charged in and unleashed a massive team combo on the Heartless, forcing Shock to be thrown back into the cage.

Takato growled at the Heartless, as it didn't even seemed scratched. 'Grr. This is becoming annoying.'

Then Everyone watched as the Prison Keeper was about to eat another kid, when Jeri glared and said, "Oh, no you don't!"

Jeri then springboard herself off of Drakes back, and right into the mouth of the Prison Keeper, and while everyone was shocked about what she did, they soon saw that the Heartless couldn't keep his food down, and soon, Jeri was launched out of the Heartless's mouth, and the Heartless was knocked out for a few seconds.

This gave our heroes the time needed to attack the Heartless, but it was not enough, and the Prison Keeper flew up into the air, and when Drake was about to attack the Heartless, it ate Lock, and then it started shooting fire magic at the group, which Takato and the others were able to block to send the attack right back at him.

Jeri then said, "It seems like, no matter how many times we hit this guy, nothing seems to stop him. What can we do?"

But, just as Rika and Henry finished off with another combo, the Heartless ate the rest of the children. And then started shooting off green fireballs, and when Drake blocked an attack, the Heartless started to cover it's mouth, then Drake turned to his friends and said, "Guys! How about we all give this guy the big freeze! Together!"

Everyone nodded, then all those who held Keyblades, plus Jeri and Donald, all brought their weapons together, and watched as a big blue ball of Ice, then they all shouted, "Deep Freeze!" Then, with a combined Ice spell from seven different people, the Heartless was completely frozen solid, then, everyone struck at once, destroying the Heartless.

But, after the Heartless was destroyed, Barrel started laughing. "Ah ha ha ha!"

"That was fun!" Lock said with a hidden grin.

Then the trio turned and Shock said, "Let's go see if Mr. Oogie's ready!" Then the trio of tricksters were off.

"Oogie!?" Jack asked in shock.

"Isn't he the one who tired to take over Halloween Town before?" Sora asked the Pumpkin King.

Jack nodded and said, "That's him. Fellows, I hope you're ready for trouble…"

Then Goofy asked, "Don't we have enough trouble already?"

Terriermon snickered and said, "Not even close. It's not even Wednesday yet."

Rika scoffed and said, "I don't even know WHAT day it is right now. We've been jumping through so many worlds already that I don't even think that time matters anymore."

Takato sighed, then he said, "Well, c'mon, we better chase after those trouble makers." Then everyone chased after Team Trouble.

***Meanwhile***

Santa was walking through the forests of Halloween Town and he said, "Confound it. Now I've lost my way." Santa then began looking around, trying to find, something, then he said, "Oh, this is utter foolishness. I should be getting ready for Christmas."

Then a voice from the forest, said, "Is that you…Mr. Sandy Claws?"

Ol' Father Christmas slightly jumped, but nodded and said, "Yes, but …please, call me Santa Claus."

Sally stepped out from behind the trees and said, "Of course. Mr. Santa Claus, I was hoping I'd find you here. You see…It's very important that you go back to Christmas Town. I'm afraid something terrible is going to happen if you don't."

Santa then said, "Well, I am behind on my preparations…All right." Then Sally walked up to Saint Nick, as he said, "Tell Jack I'll be waiting for him at home. He had something to say to me about Christmas."

Sally shook her head, then she said, "But that's just it. Please, go home and lock the door. And if Jack knocks, don't open it!" Sally then started to explain more to old Saint Nick.

But, these two weren't the only ones in the forest, for, you see, Mistress 'All things must belong to me' was talking to Oogie and said, "There. The large one in red."

Oogie then asked, "All I gotta do is kidnap him?"

Maleficent nodded and said, "That's right. Lock him up at once! Then begin destroying Christmas Town. That's sure to make Sora and the other fools come running."

"And then they're all mine!" Oogie replied.

"Yes. And in the meantime, I'll turn Santa Claus into Santa Heartless!" And thus, two evil Disney Villains started laughing at a horrible joke.

Then Oogie asked, "Are we done?"

And that caught the attention of Santa and Sally, and Santa asked, "Whose there?" Then Oogie came dashing through the forest.

Not soon afterwards, Sally was seen running through the Grave Yard, just as our heroes were returning from fighting Prison Keeper, then, when Sally stopped in front of heroes, Jack asked, "What's wrong, Sally?"

Then, in a panicked voice, "Sally said, "Jack! Oogie's Kidnapped Santa Claus!"

Everyone was taken back by this, and they said, "Oh, no!"

Then Sally said, "And he's headed for Christmas Town!"

Takato growled in anger, and, for a split second, his eyes flashed bright red with the Digital Hazard symbol in them, then he turned to the Pumpkin King and said, "C'mon, Jack, let's hurry!"

Everyone nodded, then they proceeded to make tracks back to Christmas Town. But, during their trek, they had to fight new Heartless called 'Emerald Blues', they looked a lot like the Silver Rock, but triple in size, and could use wind magic to blow our heroes away, but soon, they were gone with the wind.

And then our heroes charged through the Door to Christmas Town.

***Meanwhile***

Oogie Boogie had Santa Claus all tied up inside his own workshop, bound and gagged, while Oogie laughed maniacally, then he jumped up on the conveyor belt, then he loudly exclaimed, "I've done a little redecorating!" And, indeed he has, now everything looks a lot like his old lair. Then he said, "Wait…Something's not quite right. I know what it is! We just need a little more of that Oogie flair!" Then he proceeded to do what ever he wanted, as Maleficent watched on.

Then Miss witch said, "I do hope our jolly old friend, is looking forward to becoming a Heartless." But old Chris Kringle, was not looking forward to any of it.

Then, Maleficent started glowing a dark green aura, but was blindsided by the imbecile Oogie, she then turned to him and said, "Clumsy oaf!"

Oogie then turned to her and asked, "Are you still here? Why don't you Oogie on back where you came from. You're crampin' my style!"

Then mistress Death said, "Have you already forgotten who brought you back, you insolent bag of bugs?"

Then Oogie rubbed his chin, then he said, "Sorry! Can't remember a thing!"

Then, a very angry witch said, "Very well, you ingrate! You'll rue the day you spurned my help!" And just like that, she's gone. While Oogie laughed an evil laugh. Then he climbed into the machine, then something exploded, but he hardly noticed.

But, the smoke from that explosion is what our heroes noticed. "That's Santa's house!" Quacked Donald.

"Yeah, no kidding, Feather Face. Why don't we stop wasting time and go and beat the snot out of Oogie again?" Rika responded.

Takato nodded and said, "Right. Let's move out, team." Everyone nodded then dashed to Santa's house at top speed.

"Takato, be careful, you don't know what kind of nightmare could be unleashed by Oogie." Said Xak, who hadn't spoken to him since Port Royal.

Takato didn't reply, but he did nod in understanding. Then everyone ran down to Candy Cane Lane, only having to stop to fight off a few Heartless, but nothing to be concerned about.

Then everyone entered Santa's house, and several elves pointed towards the factory, everyone nodded, then headed inside. Once there, they found the workshop had been transformed into a more, frightening version of itself. Everyone was ready to attack, but no one could see Oogie, that is, however, until he started laughing maniacally.

Everyone then turned to see Oogie standing above them, then he jumped down, just as Sally was walking into the workshop, and he pushed her down to the floor. Then Oogie said, "Jack Skellington!"

Jack gasped and said, "Oogie!"

Said bag of bugs laughed and said, "You and I have a score to settle, Jack! Same goes for your little sidekicks!"

"What are you planning to do with Sandy Claws?" Jack asked.

But Takato noticed that Sally had fallen apart, and was now putting herself back together, but was carrying her left leg while using the machines to balance herself.

Then Oogie rubbed his head and asked, "Who? Sandy Claws? I don't know what you''re talking about!"

Henry turned to the others and asked, "Uh, is he an idiot? Or is he choosing not to remember anything and focus on revenge?"

Drake shrugged and said, "With this guy, anything is possible."

Then Oogie jumped down and walked up to Santa, then he asked, "And why is this roly-poly red guy here? Time to go, grandpa?"

Then Takato noticed that Sally had made her way to Santa Claus, and noticed that oogie was gonna throw him into the machine, and while Oogie was laughing, Sally threw her leg onto the belt, which got Oogie's attention.

This distraction was enough to allow Santa to get away, with Sally calling him over, "Mr. Santa Claus!"

And this infuriated Oogie Boogie, then he tried to charge after Sally and Santa, but our heroes wouldn't let him by without a fight. "Why, you…" Oogie said in anger. Oogie then ran head first into the machine behind him and took control of it.

That was when the belt came to life and started going in reverse, right into spiked traps, then Takato took a moment to look at the trap, then he quickly said, "Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jack! You guys quickly jump to the right belt and keep running forward, Jeri, take the Digimon and jump to the left, we'll stay here, just keep running!"

No one dared to question Takato's orders, that is one of a the few good things about being a prince and a leader, when you give an order, people follow it, without question. Then the entrances in front all closed up with chains, and force fields went up, blocking everyone from leaving their area.

Then, Oogie started throwing bombs at our heroes in the center consul, while at the same time dropping presents, Takato, the ever thinking mind, saw exactly what he needed to do, then, becoming a pro golfer for a moment, started swinging the presents right back to Oogie.

And each present caused the platform to crack ever so slightly, Rika and Henry saw this, and proceeded to golf the presents up onto Oogie's platform, until it cracked, then, Oogie fell down, and that was the moment our heroes, well, the ones on the center belt, that is, charged into the fight.

Then Takato unleashed a duel wield Keyblade assault, then he launched Oogie airborne towards Henry, who nodded and dismissed his Keyblade, and summoned Terra's, and thus, began unleashing some massive amounts of pain.

Rika decided to join in the fun by unleashing her own combos at the freakbag, but then Oogie got up and ran towards the machine and started dropping bombs and presents again.

And while our heroes were continuing to throw presents back at Oogie, he suddenly switched to the left side, there Jeri was launching presents back at Oogie, Drake was kicking them, Renamon was throwing them, and Terriermon was sucking them up in his Terrier Tornado, and launching them all back at him.

And just like before, the glass platform broke, and then our other Tamer team began unleashing the worlds deadliest team combo known to man, there were Diamond Storms, Bunny Blasts, Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Pyrofists, the whole nine yards.

But then oogie ran away, yet again, and went over to where Sora and the others were, and repeated the whole process all over again, and soon, the platform broke again, Sora went Valor form, and started ripping Oogie to shreds, and finally, with one last strike, Oogie Boogie, was doing the hanky panicky when he started to leak bugs.

But he covered the hole, then began laughing, until another seam teared and more bugs began leaking, and this kept going on, until Oogie was nothing more then an empty sack, again. "Ugh, that is still disgusting." Takato said in distaste.

Then, after leaving Santa's house, Sora said, "All right, Christmas is safe again!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, then Jack walked out and said, "Perfect! I'd better get down to business!"

Everyone looked at him in confusion, then Donald said, "Leave that to Santa!"

Drake nodded and said, "Agreed. Stick to what you're good at, Jack, scaring people."

Goofy nodded in agreement and said, "Yup, you oughta stick to Halloween and spooky stuff!"

Then Sally's voice came from behind them, and she said, "Jack?" Jack turned and saw Sally holding something red. She then held out something and she said, "Here, it's done."

Jack cheered, "Wonderful! Why I love it! Thank you, Sally!"

Then Jack started putting on the suit and Sally asked, "Jack…Do you really have to do this?"

As Jack was putting on the suit, Jack said, "But I'd make a splendid Sandy Claws."

That was when Santa walked out and he said, "Listen here, Jack Skellington. You saved me, and Christmas as well. And for that, I'm very grateful. But please promise you won't cause any more trouble! And about that suite! Don't even think about taking over for me again!"

Jack then said, "I just thought you could use a little help this year, Mr. Claws. You must be exhausted from all the preparations. And-I wouldn't mind a second chance to get this Christmas thing right."

Santa sighed in defeat, then he said, "Yes, being Santa Claus can be tiring. But let me tell you something, Jack. Seeing the happy faces of little children when they discover the presents I've brought them makes it all worthwhile, year after year after year. And you, Jack-you love to make them gasp and see them shiver with fright. What if someone tried to take all of that away from you?"

Jack looked down, almost as is he was thinking just that, then he rubbed his boney face, then Santa said, "We both have very important jobs to do, Jack. Mine is to take care of Christmas, and yours is to take care of Halloween. So we each have to do the very best we can." Jack looked a little sad at that, then Santa said, "After all, you're the face of Halloween-Mr. Jack Skellington! The Pumpkin King! The Knight if Nightmares!"

That seemed to have struck a chord in Jack, then Santa said, "And even though you're fascinated with Christmas, Jack…Halloween is your true speciality. Don't you see? Children rely on both of us to do our jobs. Halloween needs your attention…and I know Christmas needs mine…urgently." Santa then started to walk back into his house.

Then Jack looked at his boney hands and said, "You're right! I am the master of terror! And if Halloween has become too routine, all I have to do is think of something new that'll really make them scream!"

That was when the mayor came running down the hill, shouting, "Jack! Oh, Jack!" He then stopped right in front of Jack and said, "I've been looking for you everywhere! We must go over the plans for next Halloween! I can't do a thing without your approval!"

Jack walked passed him and said, "So true. Then the duo began walking back to Halloween Town.

Then Santa said, "Good luck, Jack Skellington."

Then Sora put his hands behind his head, and he said, "Well, there he goes."

Takato nodded and he said, "Yep, he should stick to what he's good at."

Santa nodded and said, "Yes, and I've got lots of names to check and preparations to finish!"

Then, as Jack was walking away. his suit began glowing, then the mayor's head switched to fearful, and he said, "Jack, this is no time for joking!"

Then Jack asked, "What''s this? Perhaps a bit too festive for our Halloween needs."

Then RIka said, "I got this." She then aimed her Keyblade down, and underneath her was the Tao symbol for Yin-Yang and was transported to the world of light and darkness, then Jack's costume released a light to the sky, that transformed into a Keyhole. and Rika aimed her Keyblade at the Keyhole, opened up a new pathway.

Sora then turned to Santa and said, "We better get going."

Santa then said, "Before you do, Sora…I believe there's a friend of yours…who-if I recall correctly-was the one who told you there's no such thing as Santa Claus?"

Sora then said, "Oh, yeah…He did say that."

Then Santa said, "Be sure to give him my very best wishes."

Sora nodded, then he said, "I will, but…Do you know where I can find Riku?"

Santa shook his head, then he said, "No…but don't give up! Remember, if you believe in Riku, you will find him. Just as you found me."

"Right!" Replied Sora with a smile. Then he turned to the Tamers and said, "Well, time we moved on from here." Everyone nodded, then they headed off, heading to the next world on their journey.

***Learned Magnet Spell***

Thechaosmaster Hey, ho, everybody, now then, I won't say much, because it is past eleven, the costumes for our Tamers is, Takato, Heath Ledgers Joker R.I.P. Bane from The Darknight Rises, Catwoman from TDKR, and Harly Quinn. Well, that's all for tonight, R&R

CHAOS CONTROL

Thechaosmaster: Hello, everyone, and as promised, a revised A/N. Now then, there really isn't much I want to say here, but, I'll say this: The reason why this chapter took so long to write, is because, as Blossom said up top, I hated writing this chapter, this world, for some reason, I just hated this world. But, now onto some questions. First, did you guys like Drake using Magic? Heres the reason why I did so, is a freaking DUCK could use bloody magic, then why can't Digimon? Next question, and this one, might shorten this story a bit, but will probably make me not want to rip my hair out.

Would you guys even mind if I just skip Atlantica in this story? I mean, it's all just pointless mimigames and singing, not really something that is essential to the plot of this story, but still, if you guys want it, I'll write it, but if not, oh, well.

Next question is this, the next world is indeed The Pride Lands, so, the crew needs to become animals, but, what animals should they become? Could Takato become a Leapord, Rika as a two tailed Kitsune, Henry as…something, and Jeri become a lioness cub? Or something else? I can't think of anything. Also, should the Digimon be effected as well? I know that in my last story, Drake was unaffected by the spell in Atlantica, and thus, not transformed, but should he here? Let me know in the reviews.

Finally, this is something that I want to make sure people are aware of, my new Poll on my page, this one asks a very important question, should I save Aqua at the end of this story? Right now, its 2 for yes and one for no. Please vote on this, because, I really want to save Aqua, but I want to know what my readers will think of it. So, whenever you are reading this, please note that, I want to know your opinions abot this story, and the only reason why I had Drake use magic is because I wanted to try something different, well, that's all for now, leave your coments about my questions in the reviews and don't forget to vote on Aqua's fate.

CHAOS CONTROL!
