Guess who's back, back, back? Back again-gain-gain? Hirac's back, back, back. Tell a friend, friend, friend. Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back...
Jack grabbed the coat with the jelly ball and flung it over his shoulders as he flew out the door, his legs pumping as fast as they could. He found out soon enough that running would be hard; his town was in the middle of an earthquake, and each stone he stepped on bucked like a bronco every time he put his weight on it. He jumped to avoid a piece of falling fence and landed on his shoulder, grunting as the town cat took refuge in his ribcage.
Which reminded him!
"ZERO!" Jack bounced onto his feet, scared enough to keep his balance in the rumbling landscape. "Zero, here boy! ZERO!"
Nothing. The cat still hiding in his chest, Jack began to run once again, aiming for the main town gate. The two witches zoomed past his head, and right afterwards the night sky turned orange with the fiery breath of the pumpkin headed gargoyle. The jelly ball pumped under his coat pocket, squeezing itself against Sally's ear. Jack held his chest and slunk through the gate to town, heading for the stoic Moonlight Hill. The flock of gargoyles flew overhead, still chasing the pumpkin headed one.
But something was different. The bat-bodied monster took a pot-shot with his leg at one of the smaller stone gargoyles, and BOOM! it shattered into a hundred pieces! It was stronger than last time, strong enough to not just fight off the gargoyles, but kill them!
"Oh no!" The Pumpkin King jumped to the top of the hill and turned to his town. The buildings crumbled and fell before his very eyes, several of the citizens finding their way out of town by jumping over the walls. His house, surprisingly, wasn't moving, which made him wonder for a moment why he even left his room.
Without thinking, Jack called out, "PYRAMUS!" The stone giant flew out of nowhere, followed by Thisby, and clenched his teeth around the wooden one's leg!
"Zar!" Pumpkin head kicked out his leg and missed, giving Thisby an opportunity to catch his other leg in his teeth. The pair of gargoyles flapped their wings in unison and began to pull the gargoyle to the ground. Pumpkin head turned and shot fire into Thisby's face, knocking her loose from his leg; and SMACK!
"Thisby!" Pyramus tried to catch whatever piece of his mate he could, but in his shock forgot to flap his wings and fell to his feet, the shattered remains of his partner falling to the ground.
"Pyramus, get up!" Jack called. Pyramus's children swarmed around Pumpkin head, but with their "father" down and out in shock, they simply flew around without reason while Pumpkin head lashed out with his legs and smashed them into little pieces.
"Oh, just great!" Jack moaned, his chest tight with worry. The Pumpkin King held himself as a small barrage of stones pelted his face, his stomache turning knowing that they were the only remains of a gargoyle. He tried hard to blink through the dust to see if anything had changed for the better.
Sally was running up the hill towards him! He almost smiled, but once he saw that Pumpkin head was diving towards her with the blinding speed of a hawk, he was gripped with fear again. "Sally, duck!"
TOO LATE! Pumpkin head had caught Sally's waist in his claws and was carrying her away!
And then Jack went numb...
All Pyramus could see at first was a black shadow flying towards Pumpkin head. The black shadow at once began striking out at Pumpkin head with long, sweeping blows which left long scars in the wooden body. Pumpkin head snapped his foot and forced the shadow to the ground, and Pyramus bounded to the shadow's side...
It was a skeleton gargoyle. His legs were reptilian and clawed, the individual finger bones holding the pitch black wings over its fallen body. Even the long, whippish tail was a chain of vertebrae. Pyramus, out of respect, turned the gargoyle onto his back-
"JACK!" Pyramus stepped away from Jack, the broad-chested monster, as he shook his head and jumped back onto his feet.
"Follow me!" The ground still shaking violently, Jack and Pyramus began to run towards the woods. White marble sprang up from the ground around them, nearby stabbing them through the feet numerous times. Pyramus blindly followed Jack as the Pumpkin Gargoyle King reached a door, ripped open a section of the bark, and jumped in.
They landed in a snow drift.
PHEW! Wrote that in, like, ONE SITTING! It's hard for me to write spontaneous situations like that.
