Chapter 12

Out of the Sky

Back in Halloween Town in the tree house were Oogie Boogie's lair is. Sally and the gang looking at the window as it looks like they are seeing Santa, Dudley, Chameleon, Larry, Ollie, and Francisco are all hang up. It's not going to be easy rescuing them.

Sally says in a whisper "Just as I thought. Sandy Claws was taken to Oogie's place."

The gang all gulped as they are scared as Kitty finally asked in a whisper "Oogie? Who's that?"

Sally reply in a whisper "The meanest character in all of Halloween Town." As she looked as she said "It also looks like he has your friends too."

As they looked and saw that Chameleon, Dudley, Larry, Ollie, and Francisco are tied up together and are hanging in the air all scared. So Chief asked "So, what's the plan, Sally?"

Sally reply "It goes like this."

Later in the tree house Oogie picked up a pair of dice as he asked walking over to Santa "Are you a gambling man, Sandy?" Then he said "Let's play!" Then he heard a rustling sound as he looked as he asked "Huh?" He turned around and he saw a woman's leg sticking out from behind the door as he says and walking away from Santa "My, my." Then he asked "What have we here?"

Then a pair of two hands sliding down the rope holding Santa. One hand cover Santa's mouth and the other one pointing up. They looked up as they see Sally and the gang out of the barred window. Sally said in a whisper as her hands began to untie Santa "We'll get you out of here."

Dudley said in a whisper "Hey guys." Then asked "So what are you doing here?" Chameleon said in a whisper "I think there here because there so brave of fighting against Oogie." Larry, Ollie, and Francisco all says together in a whisper "Or there just scarred of fighting him. He's scarry."

Chief says in a whisper "Would you guys be not like that, it looks like your about to fight. But most importantly rescue you."

Sally hands had free Santa as Birdbrain lower the rope ladder down. Birdbrain says in a whisper "Hurry! While he's distracted!"

Dudley said in a whisper "Oh we can distract him and you guys go for help."

Chameleon, Larry, Ollie, and Francisco all said in a whisper "No, they are the help."

Dudley got ready to yell as Chief, Keswick, and Kitty all whisper "No, no, no, don't yell, Dudley."

Dudley then yelled out "HEY OOGIE BOOGIE WHAT YOU THINK COMING OVER HERE TO PLAY A GAME!" Then he asked "THAT'LL BE FUN WON'T IT?!"

But as Dudley yelled Oogie Boogie realized that the leg wasn't attach to a body as was playing with it. Oogie then asked angry "What? You try to make a dupe out of me?"

Oogie Boogie then took a deep breath and inhaled, causing strong suction throughout the room. It ended up pulling Santa back in, along with Sally, Kitty, Keswick, Chief, and Birdbrain, who had fallen out of the window. As Larry, Ollie, Francisco, and Chameleon watch this over Dudley's yelling.

Larry, Ollie, Francisco, and Chameleon all yelled at Dudley "Dudley, stop and looked what's happening!"

Dudley stop yelling as he looked as they are now being sucked. As they landed on the ground. Dudley, Larry, Ollie, Francisco, and Chameleon all asked "What's going to happened to us now?!" They are now sucked in.

Over at Petropolis as Snaptrap is in the sleigh waiting for Jack Skellington. They are at the Caped Cod place. Then Jack Skellington came up the chimney as he said "It's tricky here. As the place here is almost filled with water and the tree is floating up."

Snaptrap asked "Well how else will the Caped Cod breath at his own house?" Then said as they are now back in the sky "He's a fish for ya."

Jack Skellington notice something as he asked "What's up, Snaptrap?"

Snaptrap reply "Well it's just that these guys you are giving presents to are bad guys. Which I like how you are giving them presents."

Jack Skellington is a little surprise as he then asked "Why do you like how I'm giving presents, are they good?"

Snaptrap said "No, but the way you are giving them presents is what they think they needed for being bad."

Jack Skellington then asked "Were they friends at all?"

Snaptrap reply "Well yeah, when I was a bad guy myself. But I change now sense what happened when Abbey actually tooked care of us when we were hurt." Then said "But they weren't really my friends at all."

Jack Skellington said "So that's what happened." Then he asked "Why weren't they your friends to begin with?"

Snaptrap says "No bad guys should really have friends, but I have Ollie and Francisco as they act like family to me, as for Larry well he's my brother-in-law which I can blast him no problem." Then he continue "Me and Larry don't actually get along very well as I just mistreated him."

Jack Skellington asked a little curse "Why do you two don't get along?"

Snaptrap is a little surprise as he replies "Well, it's because for me I think it's because he'll be a good villain someday, but now were both good. As I knew he would marry my sister someday. You see me and my sister was very close as we were always play together as we got older she started to like Larry and we stop playing together as she also now tells me I'm not good at being a bad guy."

Jack Skellington said "Oh, so that's means you can treat him like that." Snaptrap nodded as he then continue "Larry change everything about my sister, but at least I have another sister who still thinks I'm good at being bad."

Jack Skellington said "I see." That's when something hit the sleigh causing Snaptrap and Jack to go side to side. Snaptrap then asked "What's going on?"

Jack Skellington looked to the side as he saw a big hole and then looked down as he was now scarred as he says "They're trying to shoot us! Zero!"

Zero and the skeleton reindeer tried to dodge the bullets. Jack Skellington yelled as he says looking at scarred Snaptrap "STOP SHOOTING! THERE'S A SCARED RIDER UP HERE!"

As then the biggest bullet came at them of the sleigh as Snaptrap was now super scarred as he says "This won't be good. Abbey is going to hurt my friends once she finds out."

Jack Skellington put his body on Snaptrap as the bullet struck. The sleigh exploded in mid-air. Jack Skellington then said "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night."

Back in Halloween Town everyone saw what happened. The Mayor is now sad as he cry saying "I knew this Christmas thing was a bad idea. I felt it in my gut." He hoped in the car and began to drive around as he talked in the microphone as he says "Terrible news, folks. The worst tragedy of our time. Jack has been blown to smithereens. Terrible, terrible news."

In Petropolis now Abbey, her family, and two friends are hearing this news from the police as it says "Attention, attention citizens. Terrible news. There's still no sign of Santa Claus. Although the imposter has been shot down, it looks like Christmas will have to be canceled this year. I repeat, the imposter has been shot down but there's still no sign..."

Ginger now asked with surprise "The imposter?!" Izzy then said "There can't be imposter of Santa Clause."

Abbey then said to her friends "Come on we still need to looked for my friends, I need to let them explain why they broke my picture frame."

Abbey's family and two friends all said "Right!"

They then flew off.
