Sorry I haven't updated. I need reviews. PLEASE REVIEW!
Jack knew what he had to do. If his son was anything like him, King Bob would come after Jack by himself. One on one. Jack walked to Dr. Finklestein's office. Dr. Finklestein was also known for his inventions, so when Jack asked if he had any weapons, the doctor laughed.
"Do I have weapons, you say? I have always been experimenting with firearms. Never thought they would be used. What do we need? Night, you say? Yes, yes, I have just the right stuff. Snipe rifle with night vision scope? Oh yes, fair gun. Kills on the first shot! But Jack does not want to kill, he says. You will take the scope anyway. Now, something to wound or stun. Ah, here we go! It looks like a taser, doesn't it? Because it is my boy, it is! How about this. It looks like a rifle, but it relaxes the muscle it hits to a point it can not move. Take it, take it. You will need regular guns, just in case." Dr. Finklestein was just talking to himself while Jack followed.
Getting weapons bothered Jack. First of all, he was not a killer. Also, he did not like fighting. In Halloween town, it is very rare to see a fight. Jack wanted to get the battle over with A.S.A.P.
"Doctor, all I need is something that will see heat. No doubt he will be camouflaged." said Jack.
"Correct! That is why I give to you my best heat vision goggles."
When Jack was done at Dr. Finklestein's office (which he was more than glad to be gone), he walked over to the mayors home. He had never actually been in Mayor's home. They always talked out on his porch. Mayor came out with his happy face on.
"Mayor, I have a big favor I need you to do for me," said Jack.
"Sure, anything Jack. What is it?" answered Mayor.
"I need you to put people in a safe shelter,"
Mayor's face was miserable.
"Jack, that's impossible! People will be furious. They will not stand for this. They will revolt."
"Mayor, I need you to try."
"Fine Jack, only for you Jack. But I'm warning you, the people will not be happy."
"It's for their safety. Thank you mayor. Thank you so much. Next election, I'll help more with the campaign."
Mayor's face was happy again.
"You mean that Jack? You'll really help me?"
"Yeah, of course, I owe you for all the favors you do for me."
Jack left and headed home. He opened the door, half expecting to see Sally duct taped to the floor and Julius super-glued to the chair. Every thing was fine in the Pumpkin King's home. Sally was preparing dinner. When she saw Jack, she tried not to cry. Finally she could not take it any more.
"Oh Jack! Don't die! I want you to live! Let him take me instead! No!" Sally ran and cried on Jack's shoulder. Sally had been through a lot since the whole Christmas thing.
"Don't worry Sally, I'll be fine. But just in case, don't burry me to far underground. Okay?" teased Jack.
Sally sobbed even harder than before. After an hour, Jack finally settled Sally. They ate dinner. Sally decided to make "ethnic" food. She made hotdogs, pizza, and a cooked chicken.
"Hey Sally, what is this food called? The feathered bird tastes better cooked." complimented Jack.
"It's something I ate from America. You know, the United States of America." replied Sally.
"Yeah, sometimes I scare people there."
"Well anyway, Santa Claus let me go on his sleigh on Christmas one time. It was an odd sort of place. Along with New Zealand. You should asked Santa to take you sometime, it is so much fun."
It was 6 o'clock when Jack left to go speak to the town.
"I am aware all of you know what is about to happen tonight. I need you to go into a shelter that Mr. Mayor provided. There will be gunshots. I do not want anybody hurt because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Also it is not unlikely that King Bob will take shelter in one of your homes. Me and Mayor will replace anything damaged. I do not want anybody to help me. I want nobody to leave the shelter until I say so. We will be rid of this menace. I intend to get rid of him myself. I will live and I will still be Pumpkin King. But if in some chance anything were to happen to me, Mayor will find candidates until my son is of age. I want to thank you for being here and listening to me. I know you all aren't happy with this, but it's for the best. For a town to live, it needs it's people. Thank you and goodnight." the people of the town listened to what Jack had to say. He was their leader.
Jack made sure that the mayor was able to get the people in the underground shelter. He convinced all the people who tried to leave to stay.
Most important, Jack needed to get ready for his rendezvous with the opposing King. He knew that this would be in school books to come. "Skellington vs. Skullington."
Jack headed home. He opened his closet and brought out all of his gear. He put on a black Jacket with black pants with black socks in black shoes. He painted his snow white bones with black paint. His guns were black and so were his goggles. He needed to be in all black to be camouflaged in the dark. Once he was ready he climbed to the top of the tallest building and waited in the shadows. The King should be there any minute.
Jack saw a very small flash across town. King Bob was here. Jack began to put on his gear. He pulled out his gun and was looking with his goggles. It's going to be a long night, thought Jack.
Sorry I haven't updated soon. I've been busy. Also I have been suffering from a bad case of writer's block. If you could, please give me some ideas. I appreciate the reviews. thank you.
