"Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how dangerous this witch is?" the werewolf asked the Baudelaires.
"There's no way you three children can go after her alone, that's like suicide." Jack said.
"Then we'll all go together, there's safety in numbers." Violet said, sounding undeterred.
"We can't just leave Sally to suffer, we have to go after Myra and get her back. Jack, she's the love of your life. What do you say?" Klaus said.
Jack looked over the faces of the concerned citizens of Halloweentown, then back at the Baudelaires. Yes, Sally had indeed been the love of his life from that first kiss that they shared on top of the spiral hill and it would devastate him should anything happen to her. There was no way he could just stand by and let her suffer at the hands of that vicious Myra.
"I'm with you, Baudelaires. What about the rest of you? Are you with us as well?" Jack asked.
The citizens responded to Jack with a loud cheer of "Yeah! All the way!"
"Then it's settled, I will lead the way to Myra's hideout and lure her out." Jack said.
"And then my sisters and I can put our plan to good use." Klaus said.
"Yes Klaus, you can. Now let's go and get my wife." Jack said and raised the main gate out of the town.
Following right behind their king, the citizens cheered as they made their way out of Town Square. They were ready to rescue their queen and put an end to Myra and her evil magic once and for all.
Meanwhile, in Myra's cave
Sally sat huddled up in a dark corner of the cave, her eyes red and her face wet from crying. Gomen grinned evilly at her as he waved the knife in front of her face to remind her what would happen if Jack did not give up his throne to Halloweentown.
"Why do you want the throne so badly? What do you think you'll gain from this?" Sally asked Myra, who was sitting at the table reading from her spell book.
"Control of Halloweentown, you stupid pile of rags." Myra sneered at Sally.
Sally tried to stand up to go after Myra, but Gomen shoved her down quite hard and growled in her face as he continued to wave the knife at her. Sally cringed into the corner even tighter, even more frightened. The one thought that was running through her mind was whether or not her beloved Jack would come and rescue her and get rid of Myra and Gomen.
"You know, Jack will find me and he and the rest of the citizens will get rid of you." Sally said to Myra.
"Those freaks couldn't do it the first time, what makes you think they can do it now?" Myra asked with fake curiosity.
"We have help this time, thank you. Three extremely smart children will help us." Sally said.
"Oooh, now I'm really scared. Three puny, bratty children will save poor old, rag doll Sally." Myra said in a taunting voice.
"They're not brats, they're kind, friendly, and very intelligent. You just watch, they'll get rid of you once and for all." Sally said.
"Fat chance, rag girl. I will crush that bony husband of yours to bits and pieces, then I will be the supreme ruler of Halloweentown! You and all of your miserable subjects will bow to me!" Myra exclaimed.
Just then, everyone snapped their attention to what they heard outside of the cave. It was a crowd of many voices that seemed to grow bigger and bigger as they got closer. Myra and Gomen got really worried looks on their faces as they stood up, while Sally just grinned from her corner.
"Told you they would come for me, now what?" Sally asked.
"This is impossible, they're not supposed to know my hideout! How in the world did they figure this out?" Myra asked worridly.
"Magic, get used to it." Sally said.
"Oh shut up, girl." Gomen said and yanked Sally up to her feet by her hair.
Sally cried out in pain as she stumbled towards Myra, who grabbed her hair again and yanked her outside the cave where they had been hiding. She was greeted with the sight of almost everyone in Halloweentown coming at her, lead by Jack and the three Baudelaire children. Everyone stopped short, however, when they noticed Myra gripping firmly onto Sally's hair and Gomen waving his dagger around.
"You let my wife go this instant!" Jack screamed.
"Or else what, bonehead?" Myra asked.
"Or else we'll get rid of you." Violet snapped.
"Oooh, like I should be scared of a little brat like you." Myra said mockingly.
"Kimuna!" Sunny shrieked, which meant "Don't you insult my sister, she's kind and very intelligent unlike you!"
"And you shut up, you babbling baby brat!" Myra said, yanking even harder on Sally's hair.
"Oh enough, you guys. Will you just release Sally and leave us all alone?" the small witch asked.
"Yeah! Release our queen!" everyone else exclaimed.
"Shut up! Now, Jack Skellington, you have a choice. Either you relinquish the throne to me and Sally lives, or you don't and all of Halloweentown will perish in a burning fire. What'll it be, bone man?" Myra sneered at Jack.
Jack looked at Sally, who gave Jack a pleading look. Then he looked at Violet, Klaus, and Sunny who looked anxious to carry out their plan. Then he looked behind him at the citizens of Halloweentown. They had indeed been faithful citizens to him and he would do anything to ensure their safety and stability. Finally he looked back at Myra, ready with his decision.
