Me: Hey, guys. Here's the third chapter to CatDog and Oogie's Revenge.
Cat: I saw your latest chapters for Super Paper Mario and Sonic and they were great.
Dog: Me, too. I cried at the end of the part where the team were at the world of ended games. And I'm excited to see what Merlon has for Sonic and Elise.
Me: Yeah. It was sad for Luvbi to go back to her original form. And the surprise he has will amaze you. Anyway, here's the story. Enjoy.
After the battle with Dr. Finkelstein, the St. Patrick's Day door appeared. The doctor was back to normal.
"I'm sorry, Jack," the doctor said. "I never imagined my brain would be replaced and the town deceived."
"Doctor, the St. Patrick's Day door," Jack said.
"Indeed. That is a holiday door...hm..." Dr. Finkelstein said and realized something. "Jack, what's today's date?"
"Why today is...December 24th," Jack said.
"Oh no! It's almost Christmas," Cat said. The doctor was curious about where the Christmas door is. Jack decided to look in the pumpkin patch, but Dog reminded him that many of Oogie's baddies possessed the pumpkins there. So Dr. Finkelstein suggested they scare the monsters out of the pumpkins. So the doctor went to such a device. Then Sally came in.
"Is the doctor himself again?" Sally asked.
"Yes. He's making a device to help us defeat Oogie's army," Lola said.
"Jack, do you think this might be helpful, too?" Sally asked.
"What's this?" Jack asked. "It's Sandy's costume!"
"That outfit really suits you," Dr. Finkelstein said. "I completed the scare device. If I told you what's in it though, that would ruin the surprise! Hide this in your Sandy bag and use it to stun Oogie's monsters." So Jack, CatDog, Lola, Mervis and Dunglap went to the pumpkin patch.
At the pumpkin patch, the gang man wearing blue overalls with an axe on top his of his head. It was the Behemoth.
"Behemoth! The pumpkin patch is a mess," Jack said.
"It's the bad'uns," Behemoth said. "They ruin it...break the bridge. The Big Pumpkin Head. Bad'uns eat it, too. My precious pumpkins." Then a alarm sounded. And a voice was heard on an intercom again.
"Hello? Testing...testing...1, 2, 3. Am I on?" Oogie's voice said. "Ahem! Denizens of Oogie Town, Jack has returned and has brought his friends from last year. According to reports...heh heh...they're enjoying out dangerous Oogie Town they are screaming with terror. Rejoice! All thanks to your efforts!"
"We do NOT like your idea, Oogie!" Cat yelled.
"Barrel, my star pupil, finish the work your half-witted, half-pint, half-alive playmates could not," Oogie said. "If you don't, there's more than half a chance I'll be very, very, very ANGRY!" So the gang went through the pumpkin patch and reached a maze. That's when they bumped into Lock, Shock, Barrel and the Greasers. They created the maze to confuse Jack and his friends.
"Hey, Jack, want some candy?" Barrel asked.
"No thanks. I had enough of your treats," Jack said.
"Aw, Jack. We're just getting started," Lock and Cliff said.
"Our biggest trick is yet to come," Shock and Shriek said.
"You're gonna get so lost," Barrel said. "And after what did to the Mayor's house...oops. Wasn't supposed to tell you that. Catch you later, guys."
"WAIT! WHAT DID MEAN BY THE MAYOR'S HOUSE?" Mervis asked.
"Just ignore them, Mervis," Cat said. The vine on the tree blocked the path to the Big Pumpkin Head. Jack found a pumpkin that was made like a switch to open the path. So Jack hit the switch, opening the path to the Big Pumpkin Head. There were bad guys along the way but Jack defeated them. Finally the gang reached the head and went inside. At the bottom of the pumpkin, Barrel and Lube were eating pumpkins.
"What? You made through our maze?" Barrel asked.
"Now, Barrel, it's time we teach you and Lube a lesson," Jack said. After fighting Barrel and Lube, the Thanksgiving door appeared. Then a key came out of Lube's pocket. It was the key to the hemlock homestead. Jack came to Barrel and Lube.
"Barrel, pranks are one thing, but real danger is not a good idea," Jack said.
"We're sorry, Jack," Barrel said.
"Now, no more serving Oogie," Cat said.
"Duh...okay," Lube said. But Barrel crossed his fingers as Jack and the gang left.
When the gang got back to town, they headed into the hemlock homestead. But while there, the tall witch said she was heading home for some supplies at the until she heard screaming and saw the Clown, riding around uncontrollably. It seems Oogie's baddies installed an engine on the Clown's unicycle. One way to remove the engine is with some kind of tool. So the gang went to the doctor's laboratory to see if he has such a tool. The doctor agreed to help and told the gang to talk to Igor because he has babbling about something.
"Jack, listen to Igor," Igor said. "Igor was eating bone biscuit when I hear manhole scratch. I turn...no scratch. I turn back...biscuit GONE! Oh, Jack, get biscuit back? Please? Then Igor help." So the gang went to find the manhole Igor was talking about. It was behind the doctor's house, so they got the biscuits back and got the tool to remove the engine in Clown's unicycle.
"Whew! At last, I finally stopped," Clown said. "Oh, my eyes are spinning
"Are you alright, Clown?" Jack asked.
"Yes. Thanks to you," Clown said. "I hope those Vampire Brothers up the street are okay. I some of Oogie's monsters headed that way when my cycle went psycho."
"We hope so, too," Dog said. "But that gate is closed and we can't get through."
No problem. There's a secret lever on the top of my house," Clown said. "I'll open the gate for you and the Mayor's house is on the other side." So the gang went through the gate to find the vampires. But then a bunch of monsters appeared out of nowhere. Then the gang went to the vampire castle and saw a note. It said:
Oogie Boogie has turned us into four bats. Find us and return us to our coffins.
So the gang went to find the vampire bats in the neighborhood. The first vampire bat was close to the vampire castle so Jack caught that one and put him in his coffin.
"Ah. At last, I'm my old self," the first vampire said.
"What happened?" Jack asked.
"My brothers and I opposed Oogie's plan," the first vampire said. "We said this wasn't the Halloween you wanted. So he tricked us and trapped us in our bat form. Sorry, Jack, while I was a bat, I couldn't recognize you or your friends."
"Are your brothers stuck as bats, too?" Cat asked.
"Yes. But I need help finding them," the first vampire said. "Ooh, my strength."
"You look undead tired," Jack said. "You should rest. We'll find your brothers."
"For generations we vampires have been entrusted to guard the key to the Mayor's house," the first vampire said. "Jack...take this. My brothers will have the remaining pieces of the key." So the gang went to find the rest of the vampire brothers in neighborhood. Then another alarm was heard and Oogie Boogie's voice was heard on an intercom.
"My dearly abhorred citizens of Oogie Town," Oogie said. "Thanks to my diabolically ingenious thinking, I have decided to be ruler of not just Oogie Town, but all the holidays as well. We will soon celebrate 'Oogie Boogie Day' seven days every year! Preparations have already been made. I will go secure the final remaining holidays myself. After all, I have a debt to pay. Soon I shall be the seven Holidays King. So stay tuned!"
"Boy is that Oogie Boogie excited about his plan," Mervis said. So the gang went to the vampire castle to restore the vampires. When all vampires returned to normal, they explained Oogie's plan. Oogie's henchmen took away the five of the seven holiday leaders. Then they dragged them away so they won't be discovered.
"So the leaders of Valentines Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and all the other holidays are being held prisoner somewhere in this town?" Dog asked.
"Precisely. Oogie's plan is to take over the holidays and become the Seven Holidays King," the third vampire said.
"The Seven Holidays King? This is intolerable," Lola said.
"First you have to find the holiday doors," the forth vampire said. "Otherwise you won't be able to return the holiday leaders even if you find them. Take back those doors, and find out where the leaders are being held." So the gang went to the Mayor's house.
Me: Well, that was chapter three to the story.
Cat: You are quite a writer, Em.
Dog: You described things in the story pretty well.
Me: Well I have been writing since I was a little girl, even if I couldn't spell words well. Anyway, don't forget to review.
