Jack shouted obscenities from behind his gag so we couldn't understand what he was saying. But we didn't need to.
I must have tapped into some sort of "spirit energy", because the apparatus shattered around me and I felt a wave of energy reverberate around the room as I screamed in determination.
Oogie fell over and Jack shut his eyes tight. The buzz saw had long since faltered and stopped spinning. The kids had disappeared.
I floated in the air, suspended by sheer energy. Teeth bared, I bellowed at the fallen foe.
"HOW DARE YOU MAKE SPORT OF ME AND MY FRIENDS!!!" A bright purple light filled the room and Oogie Boogie screamed his last as we were blinded by the light and deafened by the violent shaking of the cavern.
Jack shook himself free after the blast subsided. I hovered, exhausted, for a moment and watched Oogie and my body dissipate into nothingness. Then, I fell to earth, unconscious.
