Jackie Slowly Opened His Eyes, Feeling a Throbbing Pain In His Head.
He Soon Noticed He Was Shackled On a Rack...And Malina Was In a Dangling Bird Cage.

Malina Soon Awoke.
"B-Brother?
What...What's Going On!, HOW DID WE GET HERE!
"I Don't Know...

"My...You Look Quite DELICIOUS! Laughed The Evil Bag Of Bugs
"WHA, WHAT DO YOu WANT!
Oogie Got Closer To Jackie.

So, When I Heard His "Family" Was Coming For a Visit...How Could I Resist?
"THERES NO WAY UNCLE GRIM WOULD EVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU!
"You'd be Surprised How "Different" People Once Were Many Years Ago...
You Should Try Ask Your MOTHER, Sometime...BOY, DOES SHE HAVE STORIES!
Oogie Got Closer To jackie.
"So...Your The New Ghost Rider, Eh?
That's Good...I Was Hoping To Figure Out That Works.
Jackie Sweated.
"What...What Do You mean?
"Let's Just Say, I Am Curious On How a Human Can Change Into a Living Skeleton Of Hellfire.
I Want To Unravel That Secret, So I can Use The Power Of The Ghost Rider, The Spirit Of Vengeance As a Weapon Against JACK SKELLINGTON And HALLOWEEN TOWN!, So I Can take MY VENGEANCE!
"LOOK, YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME!
My Powers Aren't Developed Yet...I can Only Make Fire, I CAN'T TRANSFORM!
"No matter...
There's Nothing a Little "Surgery" Can't Uncover.
Malina Suddenly Lost It.
"YOU LEAVE My BROTHER ALONE, YOU MONSTER!
"Silence, Girl...I Get To You In a Minute.
I Can Always Use a Nice "Gumbo Stew" After This.
Oogie's Kids Handed Him Surgical Tools.
He Activated a SPinning Drill And Grinned Evily At Jackie.
"Can't We Talk About This?
As Oogie Neared Closer To Jackie.
Malina Furiously began To Swing Her Cage Around.
"HEY!, QUIT DOING TH-
Malina Hit Shock With Her Swinging cage.
She Then Decked Lock, And Then Barrel Next...
With One Last Might Swing, Malina Caused Her cage's Chain To Snap And Shot Herself At Oogie Boogie, Bith Knocking him Down And Destroying her Cage.
As Oogie Layed On The Ground, Malina Ran To Jackie And Used The Sugical Tools To Break His Shackles.
"Hurry, Malina, HURRY!
"I'm Trying!
Malina Managed To Break The Left Arm Shackle Before She Could Start On teh Other One, oogie Grabbed Malina.

Oogie Opened His Wide Mouth, WHich Was Like a Dense Cave Of Bugs WItha Snakey Tonuge Malina Shrieked a Shrilling Scream, Which Only Enraged Jackie.
"LET HER GO!
Oogie Laughed Menacingly.
Jackie's Brown Eyes Turned Amber.

"...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Oogie Stopped At He Saw The Ten Year Old Ghost Rider Shattered His Shackes And Leaped Towards Him.
Jackie Tackled Oogie To the Ground, causing Him to release Malina.
Oogie Gazed In Fear At teh Flaming Skull That Glared At Him.
"I'll TEAR YOU APART! Yelled Jackie In a Demonic Voice
Oogie Ran Away.
He then Pressed a Button, Causing a Platform To raise Up Up To a Safe Height.
"HA!, HA!, HAAAAAAAA!
NICE TRY, BONE-BAG!
Oogie Presses Another Button.
In An Instant, a Robotic Claw Grabbed Malina And Tossed Her To Oogie.
"OOGIE!
Oogie Pressed ANother Button, ACtivating His Twisted Casino Room.
a Line On Animatronic Skeltton Cowboys Faced Jackie On Both Sides...
They rasied They're Guns And Fired.
Jacked Dodged The Bullets, Though It Wasn't Easy.
He Charged His Fists WIth Flames And Fires At The Cowboys...Causing Them To Combust And Explode.
Jacked Walked Towards Oogie's Platform.
Then, Suddenly...Giant Playing Cards Surrounded Jackie And Circled Him.
"HA!

"Threaten My Sister Again, And I'll REALLY BRING YOU HELL!
Oogie Was On His Knees, Crying.
"I PROMISE!, I PROMISE!
Jackie Changed Back Into human Form.
He Put Malina Down, Who Smiled At Him.
"Brother...You've Finally Transformed!
"Yeah, So I Did...Guess I needed a Little "Motivation".
Malina Hugged Her Brother.
"Come On, Let's Go Home.
As The Two Siblings Left...
Oogie Grinned Evily, his Eyes Glowing Green.
He Pressed One Last Button.
Suddenly, a Giant Pumpkin Warbot Emerged.
It Moved It's Massive Hand Closer To Jackie...
Malina Saw this.
"BROTHER, LOOK OUT!
Malina Shoved Jacked Out Of teh Way...Causing The Robot To Grab Her, Instead.
"MALINA! SHouted Jackie
Malina Screamed As The Robot's Hand Clutched Her Body.
"BROTHER!, HELP ME!
Jackie Wasted No Time.
He Tranformed And Grabbed The Broken Chain From Malina's Cage And Charged It With Flames.
As The Robot Tried To Crush Malina, Jackie Whirled The Chain Like a Lasso.
"YEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Jackie Tossed The Chain At The Pumpkinator's Hand.
He Jerked The Chain, Forcing The Hand To the Ground And Causing It To Let Malina Go.
Jackie Released It And Ran To Malina.
"Malina, Are You Okay?
Malina Clutched Her Chest In Pain.
"got a few cracked ribs...but, i'll be okay.

Jackie Then Snapped His Boney Fingers...Causing The Links To Explode With fire.
The Pumpkinator Fell To The Ground, Shattered To Pieces...
Sadly, It Fell On Jackie.
"BROTHER!
Malina Ran Over To teh Wreckage...Despite Her Pain.
She Found Her Brother's Skull...Which Was No Longer On Fire.
"brother...no.
Malina Started To Cry Then, The Skull Lit Up WIth Fire.
"Brother?
"Oh...My Aching Head.
Malina Giggled
"All You Are Is a Head.
Jackie Looked Around And Noticed His "Pieces" All Over The Place.
"So I Am...
Could You Maybe Help Me Out, here?
"Sure.
Malina Gathered Jackie's Bones And Put Then Together Once Jackie Was restored, He Started To Approach Oogie.
He Faced The Terrified Bag Of Bugs, Rage In his Burning Eye Sockets
"You Pay For This...
"NO, PLEASE-
"SHUT UP!
"Have Mercy...
Jackie's Eyes Burned Even More.
"sorry...all outta mercy.
Jackie Brought The Chain Links Together And Restored His Chain.
He Stiffened It Into a Staff And Was About To Impale Oogie...But, Malina Stopped Him.
"Brother, Don't!
There Has Been Enough Sensless Violence...Let's Go Home.
Jackie Looked At Her Sister, Who Gave Him Thos Big Green Eyes.
The Young Ghost Rider Sighed And He Changed Back Into Human Form.
"for you...i will.
Jackie Carried Malina And Walked Out Of Oogie's Lair.
Once He Was Gone...Oogie Started Jumping Around With Rage.
"THAT WAS MY LAST PUMPKINATOR!
Now I'll Need To MAKE MORE!
Oogie Turned To Lock, Shock And Barrel.
"YOU THREE!
GO TO CHRISTMAS TOWN, AND GET ME SOME MORE PARTS!
The Kids Nodded In Fear.
"OKAY!
[Later, Outside]
Jackie And Malina Walked Out a Large Tree And Oversaw The Vast Landscape.
"How Do We Get Back to Town! Asked Malina
Jackie Pointed To The Curved Hill.
"There's Spiral Mountain...It Leads Directly To Halloween Town.
We Just Head There, And Finding Our Way Into town Should Be Easy...
"HOW!
It's MILES AWAY!
Jackie Eyed a Broken Down Motercycle.
"Problem Solved...
"Your Not Seriously Thinking About Riding That thing, Are You!
"Not Thinking...Doing.
"Can't We Ride a Horse?
You Know How Much I Dislike Motercycles...
"Unless a Herd Of Skeletal Mustangs Come By, THIS WILL HAVE TO DO!
Jackie Changed Into Ghost Rider Form.
He Touched The Bike, restoring It And Turning It Into a flamecycle.
"You Coming?
Malina Sighed.
"Alright, But Drive Slow...
"Don't Bet On It.
Jackie Got On the Bike, Malina Sat Behind Him...Grasping His Waist.
As Jackie Sped Off, All That Was Heard Was The roar Of the Engine...And Malina's Wails Of Terror.
[Meanwhile, At Halloween Town]
As The Part Went On, The Music Got Calmer And Quieter.
As Jack Reaver Discussed Some Things With Grim And Jack Skellington...
Mandy Was Sitting Up On a Chair, Sleeping.
She Was Peacefully Dreaming About The Past...
How She And Jack First Met, Started Dating They're Marrage, the Birth Of they're Children...
And, Of Course The Memories Of When Jackie And Malina Were Younger.
Jack Then Walked Over To his Wife.
"Hey...Mandy.
Sweetie, Wake Up!
Mandy Awoke Slowly.
"Huh?, What?
(Yawn), What's Going On?
"You Were Asleep.
"Oh, I Was?...
Hmmm...I had The Most Wonderful Dream.
"What About?
"About Our Past...And When Our Kids Were Younger.
"Oh, Really?
"I'm Serious, jack...Sometimes I Wish They Were Babies Again.
Then, I Can Hold Them In My Arms Like I Used Too...
Jack Sat Beside His Wife.
"Any Paticular Memory You Were Visiting?
"Our First Christmas As a Family...
"Oh, That One.
Mandy Sighed As She Thought Back.
"I Worked Extra Hard To Make It Enjoyable For Them...
It Was Malina'a First Christman, She Was Only a Year Old.
Jackie Was Still Only a Toddler And Had Other Christmas's...But, It Was Still New To Him.
Mandy Smiled.
"I remember How Much Jackie Was Ripping Apart The Wrapping Paper...
Malina Could Hardly Grasp It, Jackie Helped Her, Though.
He Loved His Little Sister Ever Since We Brought Her Home.
Jack Wrapped His Arm Around His Wife, Who SNuggled Up To Him.
"why can't things stay that way, forever...
why can't they stay young and innocent...I'm Not Ready For Them To Grow Up.
"I Know...They're Still babies To Me, Too.
But, i guess It's harder For You To deal With Than Me.
Mandy Smirked.
"Well, I DID Carry Them For Six To Nine Months!
"I remember THAT, Too.
Mandy Kissed Jack.
"jack...
"yeah, mandy?
"you ever think of having another one?
Jack's EYes Widened.
"Are You Pregnant?
"No.
"There's Your Answer.
"Why?
"Mandy, After Jackie's Turn One You Said The Same Exact Thing To Me...
And the Only Reason I Said "Yes", Was So Jackie Would Have a "Playmate" Growing Up.
"So...You don't Want Another Baby?
"Not Until Jackie And Malina Are In College.
Mandy Decided That Was A sClose To a "Yes" As She Would Get.
"Deal.
Mandy Kissed Jack.
"I Love You, Honey...And I Always Will.
"I Know...I Love You, Too, Sweetheart.
Suddenly, a Loud ExplosionW as Heard From Outside.
"WHAT WAS THAT! Exclaimed Mandy
"It Came From Outside!
Mandy And Jack reaver Were The First Outside...
Grim, Jack Skellington And The Others Soon Joined Them.
They Saw An Army Of Humanoid Horses With Armor And Flaming Manes Attack Halloween Town.
"WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS!
THEY'RE ATACK OUR TOWN AND HURTING INNOCENT PEOPLE! Said Skellington
Mandy Was Frozen In Shock.
"Not For Long...
Jack Reaver Changed Into Ghost Rider.
He Drew Out a Flaming Chain And Swung It Around Like a Fire Saw.
"Time To Break These Stallions...TO PIECES!
Ghost Rider Attacked The "Horsemen"
He Hacked At Them, Causing The Soldiers To Reduce To Ash.
The Horsemen Launched Fire Blasts At ghost rider...Who Absorbed The Flames.
"Trying To Burn a a Guy With a Flaming Skull, Huh?
Guess We Can Cross "Brains" Off Your List Of Qualities.
Ghost Rider Shattered His Chains And Launched The Links In a Wave Formation.
Causing Large Numbers Of The Horsemen To Fall...But, More Kept Coming.
Grim Took Out His Scythe And Slashed At The Horsemen.
"COME ON, BROTHER!
WE"VE GOT TO HELP GHOST RIDER!
Jack Skellington Nodded.
He Took Out a Green Glob Of Goo, Which Latched Onto His Boney Hand.
Skellington Launched The Goo, Which Shifted Into a Whiplash.
He Wielding The "Soul Robber" Like Ghost Rider's Chain And Backed Him Up.
Mandy Continued To Stare...Frozen In SHock And Fear.
"it...it can't be.
she couldn't be...not here!
Suddenly, One Of The Horsemen Knocked Ghost Rider Down, Forcing Him back Into Human Form.
As The Horseman Raised It's Weapon Over Reaver, mandy Suddenly Snapped Back Into reality.
"JACK!, NO!
Mandy Took Out Her Own Magic Scythe And Attacked The Horseman.
As It faded Into Flames, mandy Glared At The Other Horsemen...WIth Looked That Could "KILL".
"Keep Your #$%& Hands Off Of MY HUSBAND!
Jack reaver Got Up.
"Almost Forgot How "Nasty" You can Be...
"Just because I'm Not Mean Anymore...Doesn't Mean I've Forgotten How To Do It.
As The Horsemen Approached Them...They, Suddenly Stopped.
"They're...They're Not Attacking. Said Skellington
"How Odd... Said Grim
Jack Reaver Looked Around.
"No, It's Not...
WHoever's Controling These Things Is Coming.
"How Do You Know? Asked Skellington
"I Can Sense EVIL.
And Something REALLY EVIL Is Heading This Way...
Such Great Darkness...Not Even Mephisto Has This Kind Of Power.
Mandy's Eyes Widened.
"That's Because It's Not Mephisto...It's Someone WORSE.
"who's Worse That MEPHISTO! Exclaimed Grim
"Zarathos?
Grim Eyed Skellington.
"What?
Just Then, The Horsemen Parted And a Dark Figure Walked Through the Fog.
As The Fog Cleared, Everyone Stared In Shock At Who It Was...
a Woman WIth Long Blonde Hair, Blood Red Eyes And Wearing a Black & Red, Wonder Woman-Esque Outfit.
Mandy's Blood Ran Cold...Her Heart Might Of Even Skipped a Beat.
"You... Said Mandy Darkly
Mandy's Evil Self Grinned Evily.
"Hello, Mandy... Began amanda In a Chilling Voice
"Your Looking Good...For An Average Woman Who's Wasted Her Life For Reaver's Ideas.
Mandy Ignored Her.
"WHAT ARE YOu DOING HERE, AMANDA!
YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE DEAD!, I MADE SURE OF IT!
"Apparently Your Slipping In Your Old Age...
You Of All People Should Know I'm Not That Easy To Kill.
"What Do You Want...
Amanda Glared At Mandy With rage And Hatred.
"You Took Away MY FUTURE!, MY WORLD!...My Kingdom.
So, Now...I'm Gonna Take Away YOUR Future, Your World.
"You've Said This All Before, Witch.
"Ahh, But THIS TIME IS Different...
At that Moment, Grim Jr. (In Symbiote Form) And Minnie Stepped Forward.
"Much...Different.
Mandy Eyed Amanda's Kids...Who Beared Demented Looks In They're Eyes.
"Charming Little Devils, Aren't They?
Which Reminds Me, Mandy...How Are YOUR Kids?
Mandy Suddenly Got Angry.
"YOU KEEP AWAY FROM MY CHILDREN, AMANDA!
"Oh, I Won't Bother Them...I Promise.
I Have Much More Important Matters To Attend To Than Mess Around With YOUR BRATS!
Besides, Junior And Minnie Are Just "Dying" To Meet Then And Wanna "Play" a Few Games...Heh, Heh.
Amanda Suddenly Shot a Blast Of Dark Energy At Mandy, Who fell On her Back.
"MANDY! Shouted Jack Reaver
Amanda Walked Over To Her Alternate Self As She Tried To recover.
"Look At You...Such a Discrace.
If Someoned Tried Doing THAT To Me, I Would Of Easily Blocked It And Counter-Attacked...
But, You...You Disgust Me, Mandy...Your Life As Normal Person With Morals Has WEAKENED You!
Mandy Glared At Amanda, Who Was Like Looking At a Twisted Mirror Image.
"LOOk AT ME!
In My Timeline, I Am The Most POWERFUL FORCE ON EARTH!
And, You...Your Just Another Weak Human Being.
It Sickens Me That We're The SAME PERSON!
"I Feel The Same Way, You B-#$%!
Amanda Grabbed Mandy By Her Shirt And Looked Right Into her Eyes.
"WHY DID YOu DO IT!, HOW COULD YOu DO IT!
Why Did You Turn Your Back On EVERYTHING We Worked SO HARD FOR!
Why Did You Have To Go SOFT ON ME!, WHY DID YOu BETRAY ME!, BETRAY US!
Don't Tell Me It Was For LOVE!, The WEAKEST Of ALL EMOTIONS!
"i used to believe that, once...
But, I Was Wrong...I Didn't Know What Love Was.
"Tell Me Something, mandy...Just Tell Me.
Was He Worth It?, Was Falling In Love With Jack Reaver WORTH Losing Your Destiny!
"If By "Destiny"...You Mean: "Losing My Soul To Darkness"...
Then, YES...It Was Worth It!...You May NEVER KNOW Just How Much Jack Means Everything To Me.
"You May try To Pretend That You've Changed...That Your "Saved"!
But, Deep Down...I Know Your Still JUST LIKE ME: a Heartless, Evil MONSTER!
"I Conquered Your Dark Curse Long Ago...Jack Taught Me That.
"Reaver Ruined You.
"JACK SAVED ME!
HE SAVED ME FROM TURNING INTO YOU!
My Future Has Changed, Amanda...I Will NEVER Become Who You Are.
"Then, You Are Useless to me...
Amanda Raised Her HAnd At Mandy.
Suddenly, She Was Hit By a Ball Of hellfire...WHich, Burned Her Skin.
Amanda Glared At Jack reaver, Who Was Now In Rider Form.
"TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF MY WIFE, YOU WITCH!
Amanda Smiled.
"Oh, yes...Of Course: You "Wife".
Amanda Tossed Mandy Aside.
"NO MATTER!
Mandy Means Nothing To Me...She's Too Far Gone To Be "Helped".
But, Your My True Target...YOUR THE SOURCE OF MY PAIN!
Amanda Leaped After The Ghost Rider.
"YOUR THE ONE THAT I WANT!
Amanda Rammed Ghost Rider With Dark Energy, Knocking Him Into a Wall.
Grim And Skellington Tried To Help, But Amanda'a Horsemen Attacked Them, Keeping Them Away.
As Amanda Beat On Ghost rider, He Caused An Explosion Of flames That Forced Amanda To Back Away.
Ghost rider Got Up And Approached Her, Forming His Staff Chain Into a Hellfire Scythe.
"Oooh...Cool Trick.
Amanda Drew Out a Gothic Looking Sword.
They Both Clashed "Blades" In a Duel Of Steel And Fire.
"Oh, How I Have HATED You, Reaver...
I've Despised You Since The Day You Came Into Mandy's Life And Destroyed My Existance!
"I Gotta Admit...
I'm Not Too Fond Of You Either, "Queen Of Mean".
"I Seriously Doubt That, Reaver...
I Know You Must Liked Something About Me.
Why Else Marry My Other Self, unless You Liked Us.
I Feel Like We're Practicly HUSBAND & WIFE, Already...
"I LOVE MANDY!
"And, I AM Mandy!
"Not To Me...
While The Battle With Halloween Town Ensued...a Motercycle Approached The Town.
Amanda Looked To See Jackie Reaver (In Rider Form) And Malina.
She Then Smiled.
Amanda Launched a Powerfull Attack At Reaver's Skull Which Was Just Strong Enough To Knock Him Out Cold
"finally...
JUNIOR!, MINNIE!
THEY'RE THEY ARE!, ATTACK THE REAVER TWINS!
Mandy Gasped In Fear And Horror.
Grim Junior And Malina Grinned, They Charged After Jackie And Malina
"Uhhhh...Brother, What's Going On?
Why Does That Woman Look Like Our Mother!
"I Think We Should Worry ABout Those Kids Coming That LOOK LIKE US!
Grim Jr. Leaped Up And Raised His Symbiote Scythe At Jackie And Malina.
"Ohhhhhhh...SNAAAAAAAAP!
Jackie And Malina Leaped Out Of Teh Way.
Grim Jr. Sliced The Motercycle, Destroying It.
As It Exploded, Jackie Reverted Back to Human Form.
"NO!, NOT MY NEW BIKE!
"Told You We Should Of Stuck WIth a Horse. said Malina
Jackie Became Enraged...
Finding Enough Strength, He Changed Back Into his Rider Form Again.
He Faced Grim Junior, Whose Own Demon Reaper form Was Becoming More Morbid And Frightning.
"I Don't Know Who You Are...And, I really Don't Care.
Cuz' I'm Gonna TEAR YOu APART FOR WRECKING MY RIDE!
Grim Jr. Grinned Demonicly
"Bring It On, You Poser...
Jackie And Grim Jr. Clashed.
They're Demon Forms Charging WIth Power.
As a Hellfier Chain Staff Locked With a Symbiote Scythe Both Skeletal Warriors Struggles For Control...
"BROTHER!
Malina Ran To help Jackie.
But, Minnie Blocked Her Way.
"Who...Who Are You!
Minnie Grinned.
Her Hands Charged WIth Magic.
"Thine Demise, Foul Imposter...
Minnie Began Launching Energy At Malina, Who Ran Behind Stuff To Dodge It.
Soon, Minnie destroyed All Malina's Hiding Places And Faced Her.
"Taste Thy Doom...
Malina Was In Absoloute Terror.
Suddenly, her Hands Became Hot And Emitted Some Steam.
"Get Away...GET AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Malina Launched a Stream Of fire At Minnie, Knocking Her Down.
Malina Then Stared At her Hands, Which Were Steaming.
"i did it...I DID IT!
Suddenly, Grim Jr. Slashed At Jackie.
Knocking The Young rider To the Ground And Forcing Him Back Into Human form.
Grim Jr. Raised His Scythe Over His Head.
"Get Ready to DIE!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Malina Instantly Changed Into Her Ghost rider Form And Launched a Massive Fireball At The Demon reaper.
Grim Jr. Flinched As The Hellfire Burned Away At The Demon Symbiote's Skin.
(("PAIN!, GREAT PAIN!
FIRE SKULL GIRL HURT US!)) Said The Symbiote
Malina Ran To Her Brother, Changing Back Into Human Form.
"Brother!, Are You Okay!
"I guess So...
Did You Just-
"Yeah, Guess All I Needed Was a Little Motivation, Too.
Just Then, Grim Jr. And Minnie Surrounded Them.
Amanda Smiled As She Restrained Mandy.
"GOOD!, NOW FINISH THEM!
"JACKIE!, MALINA!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Shrieked Mandy.
As Grim Junior And Minnie Chargedd They're Weapons At Jackie and Malina...
a Ghostly Voice Rang Out...a Voice That Only The Reaver Brother & Sister Could Hear.
(("time out.))
They're Was a Bright Flash.
When It Subsided, Jackie And Malina Were Gone...Without a Trace.
"THEY'RE GONE!
"Thou Have Faded Without Thine Trace.
Amanda Frowned.
"No Matter...I Still have What I Want.
"What?
Amanda Hit Mandy hard On The Head, Knocking Her Out Cold.
She Then Put Mandy's Body Over Her Shoulder Like a Sack.
"Come...To Oogie's Lair!
We Have Much To Do Before Our Invasion.
Jack Started To Wake Up He Saw Amanda Create a Mystice Field Around Herself And Her Children...
He Also Saw Her Take His Wife.
"MANDY!
"Fairwell, Rider...Until We Meet Again.
Amanda Disappeared Into Thin Air.
At that Moment, The Horsemen Surrounded Reaver And The Others.
Jack Reaver Growled WIth Rage And Changed Into ghost Rider.
"okay...NOW, I Am Official TICKED OFF!
What Happened Next Wasn't Pretty...
Grim And Skellington Were Too Afraid Of Ghost Rider To Even TRY To help Him.
Not That He NEEDED Any Help, As Angry As He Was.
Once All The Horsemen Were Destroyed.
Ghost Rider Marched Outward And Yelled Out With a Demonic Roar.
Author Note: Sorry, Grim Jr. and Mini-Mandy fans...
but, in THIS story...your favorite characters are The Bad Guys.
My reason for THIS, in because I think that growing up in Amanda's Apocalyptic World
had an effect on their personalities...and, their concept of "Right & Wrong"
In THIS story, the "Rider Twins" are the heroes.
so, FORGET what you know of Grim Tales...I have "re-written" the rules.
but, hey...this IS a Alternate Timeline, afterall.
