The Nightmare Before DBZ

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or The Nightmare Before Christmas. If I did the world would be a very scary place.
A/N: My little sister always goes through strange phases in which she watches one outdated movie over and over again. During one of these phases, I was watching The Nightmare Before Christmas with her when I suddenly got the idea for this story. Since the beginning of the movie will still fit in with this story I am going to leave it out. Also,this story (like so many of my stories) is a plot-hole. It does not really fit anywhere, so it is kind of in the Saiyan Saga. It might help if you look at the story as a movie, because they never fit.
Narrator: On the last exciting episode of The Nightmare Before DBZ, Jack Skellington decided he was no longer happy being the Pumpkin King, so he went in search of new meaning for his life- I mean non-life.
*****
Jack Skellington was making his way toward the tree with a Christmas tree painted on it, when he tripped over one of the trees large roots. He wasn't injured because he was made entirely of bones. Jack's ghost dog, Zero came to check on his fallen master, but seeing everything was just fine decided to go chase his non-existent tail instead.
Jack was now attempting to stand up,but he had to replace a few bones before this was even possible. He was prepared to open the Christmas door when he happened to notice another group of trees standing several feet away. The first door he saw had a strange creature, that seemed to be a mixture of a cat and a rabbit painted on it. There were various other doors with various paintings such as: a reverse-blade sword; a picture of a giant, almost humanish robot; and an oar. However, one door in particular caught the Pumpkin King's attention more than the rest. This was a door with a painting of an orange ball, covered in stars. Why such an odd scene caught his attention, Jack could not begin to understand. All he knew was that this could be the answer that he had been searching for. He opened the door but nothing happened, but then a strong current appeared, dragging him down into the depths of the strange tree. The door shut behind Jack, so poor Zero (who was still chasing his non-existent tail) was left alone in the odd forest.

Jack was knocked out when he landed on a giant jagged rock, but he quickly regained consciousness. He found himself in a strange new world, a world he never imagined could possibly exist. Naturally he started singing,
"What's this? What's this?
There's dragons in the air
What's this?
There's a girl with blue hair
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?
"What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's a man with hair really long
"What's this?
Clothes the man is lacking
Little creatures are attacking
Everybody seems so strong
Can I possibly finish this song?
What is this?
"What's this?
There are people throwing blasts
with halos on their heads
They're busy making wishes
a dragon brings back the dead
"There's a glow around every fighter
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And it's from all the energy
That's coming from inside
"Oh, look
What's this?
They jump into the sky, they fly
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They're gathering around to fight
Roasting enemies with fire
What's this?
"What's this?
In here there's a man that's green, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
"He's wearing very strange clothes
He's got a cape and pointy shoes
And there's a smirk on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?
"Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, an old man reads a magazine
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare him
Or ensnare him, only girls in bikinis
Secure inside his dreamland
What's this?
"The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good fighting all around
"Instead of screams, I swear
I hear a girl shouting in the air
The smell of burning corpses
Is absolutely everywhere
"The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
"I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
"What is this?"
(Okay, so this might not be the best song in the history of the world, but you don't know how long it took to rewrite it to fit this story."
At this point a sign appeared out of nowhere, and Jack ran into it skull first. After recovering from massive trauma to the skull, Jack read the sign with his non-existent eyes, "DBZ Land, hmm..."
*****
The DBZ characters had been watching in a confused manner the whole time the crazed skeleton had been running around singing. They were now wondering just what in the name of Kami was happening.
Krillin was the first of the group to speak, "Exactly what just happened?"
"I'm-not sure..." Bulma replied, still very confused. However, no one was more confused than Goku, who had been wished back in the middle of Jack's song.

Narrator:Has Jack finally found what he has been searching for? Will the Dragonball Z character's ever figure out what is going on? Find out on the next exciting episode of The Nightmare Before DBZ.
