Maleficent is standing at the base of Curly Hill with Lock, Shock, and Barrel in their walking bathtub.
"I was so looking forward to destroying that ridiculous Christmas Town. But now that Sora, Andi and those imbeciles are here I think a change of plan is called for. Revenge before pleasure, after all." Said Maleficent.
"What kind of revenge?" Asked Shock
"The magnificent, malevolent kind, of course" replied Maleficent.
"That sounds really bad" said Lock
"Like Oogie's kinda bad!" Said Shock
"And that's super-duper bad!" Said Barrel
"Oogie Boogie? That bag of incensed insects? How intriguing. And where might I find him?" Asked Maleficent
"Jack and his dumb, stupid friend destroyed him." Replied Shock
"Ah yes, now I remember. More intriguing still! I believe I'll bring your master back for you." Said Maleficent in a torrent of green flame, Maleficent works her magic as Lock, Shock, and Barrel have a laugh.

Sora, Andi Donald, Goofy, and Jack continue through the Graveyard fighting heartless. Andi swings her Keyblade out like a boomerang defeating the last heartless. As it disappears Andi catches her Keyblade in her hand and looks quite aggravated. When she looks at the others her face softens, sighing.
"Is it just me or more heartless are appearing more now?" asked Sora looking at Andi, Donald and Goofy.
"It does seem strange" agreed Goofy.
"Maybe Pete?" asked Andi
"I don't know. If it is Pete why haven't we seen him?" asked Donald.
"He's afraid of losing again" replied Andi
Sora, Donald and Goofy laugh.
"Come on! We still need to find Lock, Shock and Barrel. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough" said Sora as the group continues to run towards the trail of tracks.

Back in at Curly Hill, Oogie Boogie has returned.
"I feel like a million bugs! I really owe you one for this, Maleficent." Laughed Oogie Boogie
"Indeed you do, Oogie. Do you remember Sora, Donald, and Goofy?" Asked Maleficent
"Do I remember them? Ha! You're too much! I'll never forget what they did to me... Uh...What was it they did to me?" Asked Oogie Boogie
"Squashed you like a bug!" Said Shock
"That sounds bad!"
"And Jack helped!" Said Lock
"Even worse!"
"They creamed ya!" Said Barrel
"That's right, that's right! That's one thing I won't be forgetting any time soon! It's the last thing I remember. And it's the only thing I remember until I teach those clowns not to mess with Mr. Oogie Boogie!"
"Yes...that's right. That's the spirit. And I have the perfect plan already in mind." Said Maleficent as she turns her back to him.
"Have you ever heard of Christmas Town?"
She gets no response, and looks back toward him. Oogie is slumped forward, not moving.
"Mr. Oogie!" Yells Lock
"Wake up! Wake up!" Said Shock
"We want to see how bad you are!" Said Barrel.
Maleficent sighs placing her hand on her forehead, "It seems he needs more time to recover. You three-stay here and keep Sora and the others occupied."
She waves her staff and Oogie disappears. She follows suit.
"My Heartless will help you. But do not fail me!" She warned as a puff of black smoke appears in front of them revealing the Prison Keeper Heartless , as Sora, Andi, Donald, Goofy, and Jack enter Curly Hill.
"There they are!" Exclaimed Sora
Lock, Shock, and Barrel jump into the Heartless's cage. The Heartless closes it with a bony finger.
"Stop them!" Said Shock
"Tie 'em down!" Said Lock
"Get 'em!" Said Barrel
"Why can it ever be easy?" asked Andi rolling her eyes as she summons her Keyblade.
The Prison cage heartless brings the cage that Lock, Shock and Barrel up to his face opening it's month and shaking the cage to open as Shock fell into it's mouth. Andi, Sora and the others run towards it and it swings it's claws at them hitting them in the process. Getting up Andi watches as it's hands down and the fingers started to glow as it started shooting magic out of it's fingertips spinning around them.
Andi jumps away from the magic and runs at it and swings her Keyblade at it's head, Sora also gives out some swings with his Keyblade as the Heartless flies up for them unable to reach it. It swallows up Lock it turns slightly red color and starts throwing big red balls at them.
Andi blocks it with her Keyblade and it shots back at the Prison Keeper, "It's eating them to gain more powers" said Sora.
"Well that's not find out when it eats all three" said Andi as she attacks it again.
As the continue to battle it starts getting ready to eat Barrel; Sora stops it by smacking back the cage from it's month and the continue on attacking until it flies up again. Andi runs up at the curled hill to reach it as he gets ready to eat Barrel and as she gets close enough to swing the cage it was too late as Andi swung the Keyblade at it's head the Prison Keeper glows green fire all around it.
"So goes for that" growled Andi looking at the heartless.
"Be careful we don't know what Barrel can make it do" warned Jack Skellington
As the continue to fight the heartless they found it's a lot stronger with all three of them. Sora jumped away dodging it's mouth from chopping into him. As Andi attacked from behind, it spins itself attacking Andi and knocking her to the ground. Sora jumps up and hits it in the head again defeating the heartless.
"Ah ha ha ha!" Laughed Barrel as him, Shock and Lock fall on the ground.
"That was fun!" Said Lock
"Let's go see if Mr. Oogie's ready!" Said Shock as they ran off.
"Oogie!?" Asked Jack in disbelief on what he heard as he turned towards the three children running. Andi gets up from the ground dusting her clothes off.
"Isn't he the one who tried to take over Halloween Town before?" Asked Sora
"That's him. Fellows, I hope you're ready for trouble..." replied Jack turning towards Sora and the others.
"Don't we have enough trouble already?" Asked Goofy
They all nod.

Santa Claus has entered the Hinterlands.
"Confound it. Now I've lost my way." said Santa Claus
He looks around and sees nothing but bare trees, "Oh, this is utter foolishness. I should be getting ready for Christmas" he said to himself.
"Is that you... Mr. Sandy Claws?" asked Sally
He gasps and she walks out from behind a tree.
"Yes, but...please, call me Santa Claus"
"Of course. Mr. Santa Claus, I was hoping I'd find you here. You see...It's very important that you go back to Christmas Town. I'm afraid something terrible is going to happen if you don't."
"Well, I am behind on my preparations...All right. Tell Jack I'll be waiting for him at home. He had something to say to me about Christmas."
"But that's just it. Please, go home and lock the door. And if Jack knocks, don't open it!"
Maleficent and Oogie Boogie watch them from a distance behind some trees.
"There. The large one in red" said Maleficent
"All I gotta do is kidnap him?" asked Oogie Boogie
"That's right. Lock him up at once! Then begin destroying Christmas Town. That's sure to make Sora and the other fools come running"
"And then they're all mine!" said Oogie Boogie
"Yes. And in the meantime, I'll turn Santa Claus into Santa Heartless!" said Maleficent as they laugh.
"Are we done?" asked Oogie as he stopped laughing
"Who's there?" asked Santa nervously.
Oogie Boogie runs at them and Santa moves in front of Sally.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Later, Sally runs through the graveyard, running into Sora, Andi, Donald, Goofy, and Jack.
"What's wrong, Sally?" asked Jack
"Jack! Oogie's kidnapped Santa Claus!"
"Oh, no!" exclaimed Jack
"And he's headed to Christmas Town!"
"C'mon, Jack-let's hurry!" said Sora
Jack nods, and they proceed through the door in the Hinterlands.

Oogie Boogie walks around laughing inside the Toy Factory. Santa Claus is tied up on the conveyor belt. Oogie jumps onto the belt, "I've done a little redecorating!"
The Toy Factory is definitely not as cheery as it once was; "Wait... Something's not quite right. I know what it is! We just need a little more of that Oogie flair!"
"I do hope our jolly old friend is looking forward to becoming a Heartless" said Maleficent looking down at Santa, gagged, shaking his head. Maleficent starts to perform a spell, when Oogie accidentally bumps her from behind.
"Clumsy oaf!" snapped Maleficent tapping her staff.
"Are you still here? Why don't you Oogie on back where you came from. You're crampin' my style!" said Oogie Boogie with his hands on his hips.
"Have you already forgotten who brought you back, you insolent bag of bugs?" she asked angrily.
"Hmmm...Sorry! Can't remember a thing!"
"Very well, you ingrate. You'll rue the day you spurned my help!" warned Maleficent as she disappears in green and black flames.
Oogie walks into the conveyor laughing as he fiddles with it. There is an explosion and a large billow of smoke rises out of the factory.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sora, Andi, Donald, Goofy, Jack, and Sally enter Yuletide Hill.
"That's Santa's house!" exclaimed Donald
They rush to the Santa's house they look around and see Santa wasn't in his chair. They look at the Toy Factory door and they all run in the Toy Factory. Everyone gets ready to fight as they looked around but no sign of Oogie Boogie except for his decorating. Oogie Boogie reveals himself with a laugh. As they turn they seem him up on the high ledge. He jumps and runs towards Sally; who unknowingly seen him coming. He pushes her off the other ledge and jumps t another ledge turning around towards the group.
"Jack Skellington!"
"Oogie!"
"You and I have a score to settle, Jack! Same goes for your little sidekicks!"
"What are you planning to do with Sandy Claws?" asked Jack as Sally sneaks around the conveyor belt, hopping on one leg and one of her legs in her hand.
"Who? Sandy Claws? I don't know what you're talking about!" said Oogie scratching his head in great confusion.
He jumps down to the conveyor belt, where Santa is still tied up; "And why is this roly-poly red guy here? Time to go, grandpa!" said Oogie as he motions with his arms, and gets up Santa. Sally gasps. Oogie laughs as he's about to destroy Santa when Sally throws her leg to Oogie, "Eh?"
Santa gets away out of Oogie's grasp as he was distracted. When Oogie sees what happened he watches as Santa run.
"Mr. Santa Claus!" exclaimed Sally as Santa runs to the corner where Sally is. Oogie growls and storms after them, but is blocked by Jack, Donald, Goofy, Sora and Andi.
"Why, you..."
He runs back and into the conveyor. They run up as Oogie comes down on a scaffold-like contraption. He presses a button and laughs, as the conveyor belt starts moving blocking off the conveyor belt, behind them sharp spikes appear at the other end, where Sora and company are headed.
"Stop!" ordered Donald
Donald runs up the center belt into the conveyor. He then runs out on the left belt, "Huh?" He then runs back into the conveyor, then back out on the center belt.
"Not again!" said Donald
"Nice view from up here!" said Oogie Boogie
The conveyor belt starts moving backwards.
"That's right, away you go!"
The belt starts to run as they run with it to avoid the spikes. It slows itself down and reveals Oogie Boogie's presents. Donald casts Thunder at it revealing a Heartless. Andi and Goofy go after the Heartless as Sora swings his Keyblade sending the present back to Oogie.
Andi sees and smirks sending another present at Oogie. While Sora and Andi try to get presents sent out at Oogie, Jack, Donald and Goofy go after the heartless that appear from the presents that Andi and Sora don't hit. Oogie switches the left conveyor belt making it impossible for Andi and Sora to hit Oogie with the gifts. Sora and Andi watch when it turns red and jump in it going to the left conveyor belt as Jack, Donald and Goofy try to also get over to the next conveyor belt. Sora swings more gifts up as Andi takes down a heartless.
"That's right, away you go!" yells Oogie as he starts up the conveyor belt fast. Andi and Sora run to avoid the spikes when it slows down and Oogie moves his scaffold back to the middle conveyor belt. Andi fights another heartless and Sora runs and jumps into the middle conveyor belt. Swinging gifts again, Andi appears also in the middle conveyor belt and dodging Sora's swing breaking the scaffold. After getting Oogie Boogie down from the scaffold, his stitching starts to come undone, and bugs spill out. He holds it closed and it stops. He sighs, but then his other side starts to rip. He yells helplessly as the bugs spill out of him and he disappears. Donald steps on a stray insect. Sora sighs in relief.
"All right, Christmas is safe again!" said Sora happily
"Perfect! I'd better get down to business!" said Jack
"Huh? Leave that to Santa!" said Donald
"Yup, you oughta stick to Halloween and spooky stuff!" agreed Goofy
"Jack?" said Sally as she walks out with his outfit.
"Here, it's done."
"Wonderful! Why, I love it! Thank you, Sally!"
"Jack... Do you really have to do this?" she asked while she watches Jack starts putting on his outfit.
"But I make a splendid Sandy Claws!" replied Jack
Santa walks out "Listen here, Jack Skellington. You saved me, and Christmas as well. And for that, I'm very grateful. But please promise you won't cause any more trouble! And about that suit!"
Jack spins around, showing off his outfit.
"Don't even think about taking over for me again!" warned Santa
'I just thought you could use a little help this year, Mr. Claws. You must be exhausted from all the preparations. And-I wouldn't mind a second chance to get this Christmas thing right."
Santa sighs, "Yes, being Santa Claus can be tiring. But let me tell you something, Jack. Seeing the happy faces of little children when they discover the presents I've brought them makes it all worthwhile, year after year after year. And you, Jack-you love to make them gasp and see them shiver with fright. What if someone tried to take all of that away from you?"
Jack looks down and scratches his head.
"We both have very important jobs to do, Jack. Mine is to take care of Christmas, and yours is to take care of Halloween. So we each have to do the very best we can. After all, you're the face of Halloween-Mr. Jack Skellington! The Pumpkin King! The Knight of Nightmares! And even though you're fascinated with Christmas, Jack...Halloween is your true specialty. Don't you see? Children rely on both of us to do our jobs. Halloween needs your attention...and I know Christmas needs mine-urgently." said Santa as he turns around
"You're right! I am the master of terror! And if Halloween has become too routine, all I have to do is think of something new that'll really make them scream!" said Jack
"Jack! Oh, Jack! I've been looking for you everywhere! We must go over the plans for next Halloween! I can't do a thing without your approval!" said the Mayor running towards them.
"So true." replied Jack
"Good luck, Jack Skellington" said Santa with a smile
Jack walks away with the Mayor, seemingly excited with new ideas for Halloween.
"Well, there he goes." said Sora with his hands on the back of his head.
"Yes, and I've got lots of names to check and preparations to finish!" said Santa
Jack's Sandy Claws outfit glows brightly.
"Jack, this is no time for joking!" whined the Mayor nervously.
"What's this? Perhaps a bit too festive for our Halloween needs." said Jack looking at his glowing outfit.
Sora's Keyblade opens another gateway.
"We better get going." said Sora
"Before you do, Sora... I believe there's a friend of yours...who-if I recall correctly-was the one who told you there's no such thing as Santa Claus?" asked Santa
"Oh yeah... He did say that." replied Sora looking down in disappointment.
"Be sure to give him my very best wishes." said Santa
"I will, but... Do you know where I can find Riku?" asked Sora
"No...but don't give up! Remember, if you believe in Riku, you will find him. Just as you found me."
"Right!" said Sora with a nod. Santa turns and looks at Andi who looks back at him confused.
"And you Andi, even though you never believed in me. You have always enjoyed Christmas and what it's truly about and that Andi is something to always cherish" said Santa.
Andi smiles with a nod and salutes to Santa as she walks away. Sora, Donald and Goofy wave bye and they follow Andi. "So how did you celebrate Christmas?" asked Sora
"Like anyone else just I didn't expect it to come from a man in a red suit" replied Andi.
"How does someone who believes in Santa and still does. Telling everyone else at home that you didn't believe in Santa?" asked Andi
"I didn't want people to think I was a baby" replied Sora
Andi stopped, "Then you're not being true to who you are" said Andi
"You think I'm a baby?"
"No. If you believe in something that makes you; you. Then why let anyone change that?" asked Andi
"We can say the same thing about you" said Donald
Andi looked down, "I don't allow other people to change me. I do that to myself" replied Andi
"If you make these changes to yourself, your also lying to yourself who you are. Eventually you won't be able to know what's true" said Goofy
Andi nods, "But I think that's why I met you guys. I know that how we got together because of my Keyblade. But maybe this Keyblade chose me because it's like me" said Andi as she summons her Keyblade looking at it.
"What do you mean?" asked Sora
"Well looking at it, the thorns are like the lies we try to hold from other people, everyone avoids thorns. The roses are what is our truth. Musical notes are my heart singing. I've noticed that more roses are blooming and musical notes appearing on this Keyblade as it did. It's almost showing me what's my truth" replied Andi looking at Sora. Sora looks at her Keyblade and she was right more rose gold blooms and musical notes were on the silver part of the thorns. When they first met her it was mostly covered in thorns but now more buds and musical notes appear on it. Andi's Keyblade disappears in a flash of light.
"Guess I got to thank you guys for sticking with me this long" smiled Andi.
Sora picks up Donald and Goofy bringing them in. "What are friends for?" asked Sora with a smile. Andi laughed and they continued to walk to the Gummi Ship.
"Hey we should see if we can help get that statue in Alantica for Ariel" said Sora as they leave Halloween Town.
