I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, Carmelita, Octavio, or any of the Nightmare Before Christmas characters, or the song I will use in this chapter.
Jack and Taylor soon see Sally, who was with her spiders, Zero, and the reformed Ivan and Freddrick. Sally sees them and says, "You three did it! Halloween Town is safe again."
The trio see Ivan, who said, "You really showed that we met our match, Taylor."
Freddrick sees the trio approaching him, and he said, "Teach Oogie a lesson."
The trio soon went across Spiral Hill and entered the Hinterlands. They soon see that Ghost Barrier vanished, and they entered the clearing where the tree for the Halloween Door is. Jack soon said, "All I have to do is put the Halloween Door back up, and it'll be good as new." He places the Halloween Door into the hole, and the tree disappears. They soon left the clearing.
Taylor soon said, "Well, one down, three to go," she soon looked at Jack, and said, "At least you can return to your Holiday, despite it is already saved," this caused Jack to nod in agreement. The trio soon went to the next place where the clearing of the next tree is. Passing the Three Mr. Hydes, and some Orc Skeletons, and went to the path to the clearing of the tree for the Valentine's Day Door, which was no longer blocked by a Ghost Barrier.
At the clearing the trio went to the tree, and Jack puts the Valentine's Day Door back, and the tree vanishes. Tess soon said, "Halfway there."
Taylor puts a hand to her ear, and said, "Bentley, the Valentine's Day Door is back in place, so when it's safe, tell Cupid it will be safe to go back to his world."
"Okay Taylor, and Cupid said, 'Thank you,' as well," Bentley replied.
They soon left the clearing and see there was no longer any monochromatic surroundings. Going past the Orc Skeletons, past another area where the Three Mr. Hydes are, and entered the area where the last two clearings are. The place was still monochromatic, but the entrance of the two clearings were no longer blocked by Ghost Barriers. They soon went to one of the clearings and placed the Easter Door back, and the tree vanishes. Jack soon said, "Almost there."
Taylor nodded, then said through her communicator, "Bentley, the Easter Door is back in place, so when it's safe, the Easter Bunny can go back home."
"Roger Taylor, despite we haven't release him or the Leprechaun yet, sorry, but somehow I think the Easter Bunny said, 'Thank you,' despite it sounded like some squeaks of happiness," Bentley replied.
Taylor soon said, "Two more doors, and they will all be in place." They soon left the clearing, and see the path was still monochromatic, so they went to the clearing of the tree for the Thanksgiving Door, and Jack placed the door back, causing the tree to vanish. Taylor puts a hand to her ear, and said, "Bentley, tell Plymouth that his Door is back in place, so he can return when it's safe."
"You got it, Taylor, and Plymouth said, 'Thank you," to you guys," Bentley said.
Tess soon said, "Okay, one more door, and off to Christmas Town." Jack and Taylor nodded and left the clearing.
They see some trees moved that blocked a path, and Taylor said, "That might lead to the last part of the Hinterlands." They went through a monochromatic area, took out a Trick and a Treat, and soon reached seven trees, which six of them had the real Holiday Doors, but the tree for the Christmas Door was blocked by a Christmas Oogie Door. Taylor said, "Finally, we're here, let's do this, Jack." Jack nodded and went to the Oogie Door.
"Not a so fast!" someone cried. They looked, and see Don Octavio, he soon said, "Before a you three a go into Christmas Town, I've a been ordered to one of our true fights, this one first is now a bit of an opera duel." Taylor looked in confusion, as Octavio continued, "You and a I, Taylor, will sing, if you a do well, I'll a let you pass, if a not, then I'll gut you!"
Taylor thought, then said, "I accept the challenge."
"Very a well, Maestro," Octavio said, cause some monsters to appear with instruments
[Play Duet with Octavio - Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves music]
Taylor and Octavio dance as some music being played by some of the monsters. Octavio soon poses a bit, and sang:
Octavio:
~LaLa, La, La~
Taylor posed differently, and sang:

Taylor feels good, and Octavio soon said, "Well, not a bad, but the duet is still a getting started."
Octavio soon posed, and sang:
Octavio:
~La, LaLa~
Octavio posed a bit, then Taylor posed a bit, and sang:
Taylor:
~La, LaLa~
Taylor swapped her pose. Octavio posed again, and sang:

He swapped his pose. Taylor posed again, and sang:

Octavio soon felt surprised, and said, "Well, you a really are a natural, but we still have one more verse to go." He then posed, and sang:
Octavio:
~LaLa, LaLaLaLa~
Taylor posed, and sang:

Octavio soon posed, and sang:
Octavio:
~LaLa, La, La~
Octavio held that last La a bit, while Taylor posed, and sang:
Taylor:
~LaLa, La, La~
Taylor's last La was much longer, and almost like she was singing like a true opera singer, causing some glasses that the monsters had placed near them to shatter.
"My a goodness!" Octavio said.
Taylor felt she failed, and asked, "Was I flat on the last note, wasn't I?"
"I'm afraid a so," Octavio said, causing Taylor to get ready to be gutted, until Octavio said, "Flat a out Perfecto!"
Taylor, Jack, and Tess were shocked, and Taylor asked, "What?"
Octavio soon said, "Taylor Fearbrave, you a have the potentials of a Valkyrie!"
Taylor smiled, and said, "Thank you."
Octavio soon took off his mask, and said, "Here, Oogie's a big boss wanted me to a give you this a mask," Taylor took it, while Octavio took out another mask, and said, "This a new mask I have is a my original, which was a gift from the one that a freed me." He soon turned to the exit, and said, "Meet a me at the Oogie Casino, where Oogie will be a staying if he a survives the final battle, for that a is where the safe for the final a document is located."
Taylor was shocked, and said, "Okay, meet you there, Don Octavio." Octavio soon left, then Taylor put a hand to her ear, and said, "Kit, Penelope, open a portal, and send Carmelita with an evidence bag, I got Octavio's mask."
Soon a portal opened, and Carmelita came out with the bag, she looked at Jack, and said, "Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, I am Inspector Carmelita Montoya Fox."
Jack soon said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Inspector Fox."
She took the mask, and places it into the bag, and said, "Sorry if this was brief, but I think once Oogie and Octavio are defeated, it will reveal the true criminal mastermind of this great adventure."
"Thanks, Carmelita, see you back at the Hideout," Taylor said, Carmelita bows, and went into the portal.
Jack soon asked, "Well, with all that, where were we?" He thought, and said, "Oh, yes," he went to the tree where the Christmas Oogie Door is, and said, "Time to return the Christmas Door to where it belongs."
He takes out the Christmas Door, which breaks the Christmas Oogie Door, and replaced it with a bright light. Jack soon hums in thought, then the Christmas Door opened up, causing the group to jump a bit, then some snowflakes whirled around them, and Taylor said, "Well, here we go," Taylor, with Tess on her shoulder, and jumped into the tree, while Taylor yelled, "We're coming Santa!" The Christmas Door closed as they all were in.
Taylor, Tess, and Jack soon were twirling around a light blue vortex with snowflakes straight towards Christmas Town in a bright light.
