Chapter 7
The Mission
Later that day, in the town hall the gang are with Snaptrap as Jack Skellington has came out of his house. The gang found out what was going on as Snaptrap told them his new plans as they weren't so happy about it.
Kitty then asked Snaptrap as she's a little mad "I thought we were going to look for Dudley and Chameleon?" Snaptrap turned to Kitty as he reply "Look I know what I said, but Jack want us to help, so those two have to wait."
Ollie asked in a whisper "Is this for the present that there going to make?"
Snaptrap reply in a whisper "Maybe." They all looked at him as he then says "Looked, me, Birdbrain, Larry, Ollie, Francisco, and Chameleon used to be villains before we turn good. As we never got any presents, I just want to see how it feels."
Ollie says "He does have a point. Once you are on the naughty list and was a villain. You will know how it feels." Kitty looked at Snaptrap as she says "Okay, Snaptrap. But if you do get caught or something bad happens to you, Abbey will be mad at you."
They looked at Jack Skellington as the Mayor said "How horrible our Christmas will be."
Jack Skellington corrected the Mayor "No! How jolly!"
Mayor says "Oh. How jolly our Christmas will be." Then after awhile the Mayor was hit by the broken toy as he groaned. He looked down as he asked "What are you doing here?"
The first boy dressed like a devil reply "Jack sent for us."
A little girl dress up as a witch added "Specifically."
Second little boy dress up as a skeleton said "By name."
First boy said "Lock!"
A little girl said "Shock!"
Second boy said "Barrel!"
A Dog said "Dudley!"
A Chameleon says "Chameleon!"
That's when the gang turned to looked at them. Lock, Shock, and Barrel looked at Dudley and Chameleon as the Mayor called out "Jack, Jack! It's Oogie's boys!" He then saw two more boys as he says "And, two other boys I've never seen before!"
Lock asked them two "You two are still following us?"
Shock said "Scrammed."
Dudley says "We can't do that. We're looking for our friends. We must find them." Chameleon then says "We might be T.U.F.F. agents as we can have mission on our hands. We will find them we won't give up."
Dudley and Chameleon both said "We will not rest until we find our friends, with Jack Skellington."
The gang all called out "Dudley! Chameleon!"
Dudley and Chameleon both looked as they found there friends as they both said as they give each other a high-five "All right, we did it."
They ran to there friends as Kitty asked "Where were you two?" Dudley reply "We were both looking for Santa as we wanted to tell him what we wanted for Christmas. I wanted a bike." Chameleon then said "I wanted a friend sense Abbey sometimes leave and then come back."
Dudley then said "So we both headed to Halloween Town to look for you guys."
The gang are now looking at Jack Skellington who went over to Lock, Shock, and Barrel. As he is now saying to them "The job I have for you three is top secret, it requires craft, cunning, mischief. Absolutely no one is to know about this. Not a soul! Now..."
He then whisper to the three kids. The Mayor and the gang are so curious as the Mayor is listing from the megaphone, as Dudley eyes widened because he can hear it from his ears. The three kids all said "Got it."
Then Jack Skellington added by grabbing Lock's tail "And one more thing. Make sure you leave that no-account Oogie Boogie out of this!"
Barrel said "Whatever you say, Jack."
Shock said "Of course, Jack."
Lock said "Wouldn't dream of it, Jack."
With that Snaptrap actually new something was up because he's been with his family as they are good at lying as he whispering to Dudley and Chameleon "You two, better go with the three kids, I don't trust them at all."
Dudley and Chameleon both nodded as they whisper back "Gotcha." They waited until the three kids left and they both started to follow them. Chief and Kitty both asked "Where are you two going?"
Dudley and Chameleon both reply "We must see what the three kids are up to, as they might be up to something. You guys stay here and we will come back later." They then both said "Let's do this!"
The gang, Jack, and the Mayor except for Snaptrap looked at each other for a while. Then Jack Skellington asked "Do those two always act like that?"
Chief reply "Most of the time. They get annoying but you will get used to it."
So Dudley and Chameleon follow the three kids deep into the Hinterlands as they finally came to the giant tree house. They both watch Lock, Shock, and Barrel get in the cage and went up into the tree house. Dudley and Chameleon ran up to the giant tree house as Chameleon remember he can stick to the tree as he told Dudley to hang on to him tight. As the song started up.
Lock, Shock, and Barrel singing "Kidnap, Mr. Sandy Claws?"
Lock "I wanna do it"
Barrel "Let's draw straws"
Shock "Jack said we need to work together"
Barrel "Three of a kind"
Lock "Birds of a feather"
Lock, Shock, and Barrel "Now and forever
Weeee
La, la, la, la, la
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Lock him up real tight
Throw away the key and then
Turn off all the lights!"
Shock "First, we're going to set some bait
Inside a nasty trap and wait!
When he comes a-sniffing we will
Snap the trap and close the gate!"
Lock "Wait, I've got a better plan
To catch this big red lobster man!
Let's pop him in a boiling pot
And when he's done we'll butter him up!"
Lock, Shock, and Barrel "Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Throw him in a box!
Bury him for ninety years
Then see if he talks!"
Shock "Then Mr. Oogie Boogie man!"
Lock, Shock, and Barrel "Can take the whole thing over then!
He'll be so please, I do declare!
That he will cook him rare!
Whee!"
Lock "I say that we take a cannon
Aim it at his door and then
Knock three times, and when he answers
Sandy Claws will be no more!"
Shock "You're so stupid! Think now
If we blow him up to smithereens
We may lose some pieces and then"
Lock and Shock "Jack will beat us black and green!"
Lock, Shock, and Barrel "Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Tie him in a bag!
Throw him in the ocean then
See if he is sad!"
Dudley and Chameleon looked at each other, they then join in the song.
Dudley sing "This Oogie Boogie guy"
Chameleon sing "Sounds like the meanest guy around!"
Dudley "If I were on his Boogie list"
Chameleon "I'd get out of town!"
They both looked at each other as Chameleon decided to go down and they are now next to the Tree house. Dudley then said to the Chameleon "We need to distract them and point to them the wrong door." Chameleon says "I agree, with you, Dudley." As they went off to the woods of the doors they still hear the song.
Barrel sing "He'll be so pleased by our success
That he'll reward us to, I bet!"
Lock, Shock, and Barrel singing together "Perhaps he'll make his special brew
Of snake and spider stew!
We're his little henchmen and
We take our job with pride!
We do our best to please him
And stay on his good side!"
Shock "I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb!"
Barrel "I'm not the dumb one!"
Lock "You're no fun!"
Shock "Shut up!"
Lock "Make me!"
Shock "I've got something, listen now
This one is real good, you'll see!
We'll send a present to his door
Upon there'll be a note to read!
Now, in the bow we'll wait and hide
Until his curiosity"
Lock, Shock, and Barrel "Entices him to look inside
And then we'll have him!
One, two, three!
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Beat him with a stick!
Lock him up for ninety years
See what makes him tick!
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Chop him into bits!
Mister Oogie Boogie is
Sure to get his ticks
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
See what we will see!
Lock him in a cage and then
Throw away the key!"
Dudley and Chameleon made it to the holiday tree's as Chameleon asked Dudley "So what door are we going to point them too?" Dudley reply "The easter door."
So with that they both smiled as Lock, Shock, and Barrel came in with the walking bathtub.
Are the three kids going to fall for that. Find out in Chapter 8.
