Chapter 8

Back in town the night had fallen and everyone was gathered around the makeshift launching ramp, while everyone listens to the band, Harry uses its distraction to make his way to the fountain. Popping the cork he pours some into the water, looking into it as some fog appeared, he frowns at how slow and limited it was, shaking the nearly full bottle he shrugged and pours the whole jug into the water. Just in case. He wasn't taking any chances of Jack being able to take off.

Fog instantly starts pouring over the edges, shrinking the empty jug and tucking it away, Harry sneaks away and makes his way to the back of the crowd. He watches as the coffin opens and Jack rising from it like a vampire. Everyone cheers and applause, Harry clapping with a fake smile his heart racing, the fog hasn't covered the area yet. 'Hurry up.' Harry silently begs. He wished he could use magic but the powers of Halloween town would stop any magic that went against its king so Harry had to work around it.

The mayor made his way up the steps and took a spot on the small stage in front of the sled, a long length of paper in his hands. Harry sighs in relief, looks like the mayor was going to give a long speech. Long enough hopefully for his fog to work.

"Think of us as you soar triumphantly through the sky outshining every star. Your silhouette a dark blot on the moon, you who are our pride, you who are our glory, you who have frightened billions into an early grave." As the mayor spoke his long-winded speech the fog grows worst and soon everyone was having trouble seeing, and no one saw Harry smile as the whole area was soon covered in his fog.

The mayor tried to carry on but he could barely see the words on his paper now. "You who have eh, devastated the souls of the living...'

'It worked.' Harry thought happily, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Oh no! We can't take off in this! The reindeer can't see an inch in front of their noses." Jack frowns, upset that how of all times a fog comes into town. This couldn't be happening on his big night.
"This fog's as thick as, as..." one of the Vampires couldn't think of the word.

"Jelly brains." The Cyclops added helpfully.

"Thicker!" The Vampire cried.

sitting down in the coffin Jack frown in sadness. "There go all of my hope, my precious plans, my glorious dreams."

"There goes Christmas." The corpse child cried big fat years.

All the sadness broke Harry's heart but he had no choice, this had to be done to save Christmas.
"Bark, bark." Zero woofed heading towards Jack wanting to cheer his master up. Harry gasps when he sees the dog's nose glowing red. he said under his breath. "Oh no."

"No Zero, down boy." Jack waved him away when he noticed the red glow coming from his dog, looking up and a smile. "My what a brilliant nose you have. The better to light my way! To the head of the team, Zero!"

Jack waited till Zero was in front before snapping the whip towards the skeleton rain dear. "We're off!"

"Wait, Jack, no! Stop! Jack!" Harry cries out but his voice is drowned out by the crowd cheering. He could only watch helplessly as Jack take off into the air.

"Ho ho ha ha ha." Jack's voice faded off as he disappeared into the night sky, heading to the human world.

The crowd started to walk away, they had to wait now, some headed towards the cauldron, hoping once the fog had passed to watch the human news on Jack.

"Goodbye Jack, my dearest Jack. I'm so sorry I couldn't stop this." Harry reached out towards the sky before dropping his hand with a sigh, walking away from the square. "Oh, how I hope my premonition is wrong. Pleases Mother Magic look after my dear mislead friend."

Walking towards the main gates he passes the band and as they began to play and Harry felt the music inside. Opening his mouth he sang his heart out, stopping by the gates he stared out of the bars. "I sense there's something in the wind. That feels like tragedy's at hand."

Reaching up into the sky Harry felt his eyes water but not a tear fell. "And though I'd like to stand by him. Can't shake this feeling that I have. The worst is just around the bend."

Stepping through the bars he dances through them, weaving through them. "And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be."

"What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd. In their enthusiastic cloud. Try as I may, it doesn't last." Harry stepped off the bars and walked over to where Snowbell was moaning, keeling on the ground he watches as the cat drops down and walks over to him. Placing her on his lap he sings out.

"And will we ever end up together? No, I think not, it's never to become... For I am not the one..." Harry felt a tear fall down his face as he stroked Snowbell's back.

High above the sky, Jack was bouncing from house to house, giving out the Halloween presents to all the kids with great joy. What he didn't know was the more he did the more trouble he caused, mothers and fathers were ringing into the police trying to protect their children from the Monster toys.

Back in Halloween town Harry had made his way back in and watched through the fountain along with the crowd, they cheered him on but Harry could only place a hand over his mouth in horror as he watched the situation grow worst and worst.

The humans were getting angrier and angrier. The pool showed a newscaster report. "Reports are pouring in from all over the globe that an impostor is shamelessly impersonating Santa Claus, mocking and mangling this joyous holiday."

Halloween residents cheer but Harry grew more worried, they didn't understand that doesn't mean something to celebrate.

Harry's attention shoots back to the newscaster when she says. "Police assure us that this moment, military units are mobilizing to stop the perpetrator of this heinous crime."

Hearing that sent his heart down into his stomach, he couldn't take it anymore when they not with the army coming involved. He didn't know if Jack could survive something like that. Biting his lip he said. "Jack, someone has to help Jack."

One of the Crowd heard him know all still cheering on their King biting back a growl Harry stands up with determination he was going to save Christmas but first we have to find someone very important.

"Where'd they take that Santa Claus?" Harry growled getting no answer from the crowd he pushed his way through and rushes away into the graveyard before to could go anything further he suddenly hears tiny voices shouting his name. "Harry, Harry. Harry here!"

Stopping he turns sharply to see the fairies raced toward him. Coming to a stop in front of his face he asks. "What's wrong? Better be important I don't have time for this, Jacks in trouble. Christmas is going all wrong it looks more like Halloween and the humans are growing angry. The only way to fix this is to finds Santa and have him fix this. I need to find those troublemakers. "

"Bad, like really bad." Blue panted. putting her hands on her knees as she panted for breath.
Ching his breath from his mad dash, it wasn't the best to run in heels but with his magic it was possible. Looking at them confused he asked. "What?"

"Oh, those brats made it into town. That's why we're here." Green said. Touching her hair. "We came to look for you but that damn horse got in the way. It messed up my hair."

"Trouble, big trouble." Orange waved her arms about.

"They're in town? Curses, I need to find out where they put Santa." Harry gritted his teeth he had to hurry before it was too late.

We know. We know. Orange hoped onto his shoulder with a big grin.

She's right that's why we came to find you. Blue nodded. "We saw them stash."

"Where is he?" Harry nearly yelled.

"In Oogie boogies lair." All there said at once.

Jack enjoying himself so much, doing something so new and exciting. He was ever happy things were going right for a change. As they flew across the sky on his way to the next town suddenly lights appeared around him.

"Look Zero, searchlights!" Jack said with a smile. Suddenly explosions happened all around him making him grin enough more. "They're celebrating! They're thanking us for doing such a good job."

His tone change when one nearly hits zero, making the poor dog whimper in fear.

"Whoa, careful down there, you almost hit us," Jack yelled leaning over the side to look down at where the lights were coming from.

"Bark." Zero barks in fear. This was getting scary for the ghost dog.

"It's ok, Zero. Head higher!" Jack ordered, finally realizing they were in trouble here. This wasn't going as he wanted at all. He didn't understand why they were doing this, humans were firing at them like he was a criminal. Quickly Jack pushed the reindeer into the clouds, they needed to get out of sight.

Making his way to the large treehouse, Harry looked around, he hated being anywhere near Oogie's lair but he had to save Santa. Heading inside he spots a large pipe with a sign above it, sterling himself Harry made his way over and leaned into it, he heard a voice echoing, one he really could do without.

"Are you a gambling man, Sandy? Let's play." Oogie Boogie laughed.

Climb inside he slowly crawled down the pipe, using his magic to slow his descent and in some places in large the pipe for him to fit. Coming to a grate he peered through and he saw Oogie had Santa tired up to a hock in the middle of the room, the sack was playing with those disc of his, the Boogieman was a big fan of gambling.

Taking his wand out he flicked it over his legs and made a copy, sadly it had been some time since he had to use his wand for something like this and it showed as it only made one. Thankfully that's all he needed for his plan, pointing where he wanted his leg to go he waited as it hopped on over through the shadows. Soon his leg pocked out the strange doors on the other side of the room, showing a lot of skin. Pointing his wand at himself he whispered and used his magic to make it sound like it came from the door.

"Mmmm.. my, my...what have we here?" Oogie says his dark eyes taking in the pretty leg, elbowing Santa in the gut, he spits into his sack hand and using it to push the bit of the sack that acted like hair back before making his way over.

Holding in his shiver of disgust Harry waved his wand over Santa's binds and slowly they came undone, Santa looked over to Harry and the wizard was quick to hold a finger to his lips. He whispered, "I'll get you out of here."

Santa nodded and once free he dropped to the floor and made his way to the rope ladder Harry conjured up dropped down for him.

"Ah, lovely," Oogie smirked full distracted, taking off the heel, he began to tickle the stocked clad foot. "Tickle, tickle, tickle. Tickle, tickle, tickle."

Holding the ladder steady Harry held his breath as Santa slowly and quietly made his way up.
Suddenly the magic that made the leg faded and Oogie jerk back when it disappeared fully. Spinning around he growled when he saw Santa getting away with the help of Harry.

"What?! You trying to make a dupe out of me?" Oogie roared. Exhaling sharply, he sucked in the air so fast and powerful it pulled Santa right off the ladder, Harry tried to hold on to the bar's but it was no use. He fell into the lair, landing on Santa very dazed and he no longer held his wand.
Inside the vent, the three fairies could only watch wide-eyed as Oogie laughs evilly. Blue and Green looked at each other and nodded, they needed help. Grabbing Orange the fly out of the pipes and into the sky. Hanging over the tree. They face each other in panic.

"What do we do, were no match for the Boogieman." Blue bites her nails.

"Help, help." Orange cried, waving her arms about.

"Quiet Orange." Green snaps. "We need to find someone how can take on that sake.

"Who." Blue sneers. "No one can take on the Boogieman."

"Snort."

"Ahh!" Blue and Orange yell when they span around to see Shadow speeding toward them.
Green on the other hand was angry they didn't have time for this. When the nightmare came to a stop beside them Green flaw at its face and yelled. "Stop it you an overgrown bag of sand."

Shadow stopped and snored, surprised at the fairy. Green seeing he had its full attention went closer.
"What are you doing, it will eat you." Blue hissed, worried for her sister.

"Bad, will be sneak." Orange nodded.

"We need help and this nightmare is going to help us," Green said strongly. A frown of determination on her face.

Shadows shake its head, why should it help its food.

"You love Harry right. Green said grabbing the surprised nightmare's face. "Well he is in trouble and if we don't find help soon Oogie is going to do something terrible to him. Now, are you going to help us?"

The nightmare stared at her for a moment before snoring and nodded. Harry was its creator and they will do anything for him.

Blue and orange looked on with wide eyes as Green flew up and landed on its head. she calls out waving them over."Come on."

"Where are we going? Who can help us?" Blue asked as she and Orange flew over to Green.

"We need Jack," Green said. "He's the only one who can stand up to Oogie."

"Right." Blue nodded in agreement. Looked down on the head she was sitting on she called out. "Well Shadow, find Jack."

As the two grabbed onto the nightmare's black mane. Orange had been playing with them so when Shadow flew off at a gallop she let out a yelp and rolled down its back before grabbing its tail, holding on for dear life.

As they raced away all that could be heard behind them was the laughter of the Boogieman, driving them faster.

They had to reach Jack, Christmas and Harry were in danger.

"Who's next on my list. Ah, little Harry and Jordan. Won't they be surprised?" Jack smiled as he checked his list. He had made good headway down his list but he had so much more to get through. Seeing the name Harry caused his thoughts to turn to his dear friend, he was sad he hadn't been able to speak to him before setting off but with the Mayors long-winged speech and the fog, there hadn't been time. He wanted so much to places Harry's fears about all this to rest. Maybe when he sees how well turned out harry will relax more. 'That reminds me I must ask him why he has been sleeping in the makeshift tent.' He had seen him more than once these few weeks sleeping inside that tent, it worried him but with everything going on he hadn't had a moment to ask.

As they flew through the air the clouds cleared around him and he passed across the moon. Down below a human shouted as his dark figure appeared and searchlights were switched on and aimed towards him.

The light blinded him for a moment before a shot was fired and it hit the head off one of the reindeer knocking the sleigh about.

As Jack tried to get control another hit the back, blasting the presents.

Jack grabbed the burning doll as it nearly hit him in the face, he realized what was really happening. He says in disbelief. "They're trying to hit us! ZERO!"

"Bark!" Zero barks worried back trying to go faster.. but it was no use, the humans took aim and fired their last shoot. It was a deadly hit and the sleigh was blasted to smithereens. Jack span in the air as he falls down, he cried out. "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night..."

Inside Halloween town, the citizens watched in the cauldron view as Jack fell to his demise.

"Howl!" The werewolf expressed his anguish those around him cried and sob in sadness, others were wiping the tears that were streaming down their faces.

The Mayor wiped that the tears on his face, taking off his hat and yanking the tinsel from it, and throwing it to the floor as he turns away. His sad face firmly in place as he made his way towards his truck. "I knew this Christmas thing was a bad idea. I felt it in my gut."

Starting the truck he grabbed his microphone and announced with great sadness. "Terrible news folks. The worst tragedy of our times. Jack has been blown to smithereens. Terrible, terrible news..."
