Me: Hey, guys! Here's the first chapter to Plankton's Revenge. I'm still finding time for a sequel to CatDog Meets the Nightmare Before Christmas but I'll find out soon.

Banjo: Yeah. Plus Emilie has writer's block again.

Kazooie: Yeah. I'd have it, too, if I wrote a story of two hit TV things like movies or cartoons.

Me: Right. So until I think of something, read the other stories I write. Enjoy!

*December 24th
Christmas Eve

When Banjo came home, he saw that the town was deserted.
"That's strange. The town's deserted," Banjo said to himself. He looked around until a skeleton ghoul appeared behind the Pumpkin King. Banjo turned around to see the skeleton.
"Oh! I don't believe we met," Banjo said. "I'm Banjo. Banjo Sk..." But he was cut off when more skeleton ghouls appeared and screamed. Banjo took out his soul robber to fight the ghouls. But after defeating a few of the bad guys, an alarm was heard! Then a voice was heard, too. The voice sounded familiar to Banjo. It was Plankton Boogie, the boogie man.
"Testing...testing. Is this thing on?" Plankton asked. "My dearly abhorred denizens of Halloween Town. This is Plankton Boogie speaking. Today I bring you a joyous announcement. First of all, in place of Banjo Skellington, yours truly is now the new ruler of Halloween Town! And secondly, as of today, this very hour, this exact moment, I declare this town's name will be changed to Plankton Town!" Then he laughed hysterically as Banjo fought the ghouls. After the battle, dark shadows appeared at the town hall and the gate to the pumpkin patch.
"What happened while I was gone?" Banjo asked and heard a crash. "Someone's inside." Next to the town hall, Danny, Jamie and Alisha appeared. They were exhausted.
"We're not making any more traps!" Danny replied.
"Oh, Banjo! It's you!" Jamie said.
"What exactly happened while I was gone?" Banjo asked the three Hyde teens.
"Jasonpuff, Jigglypuff and David have sewed Plankton back together again!" Alisha said anxiously.
"Bugs, bags and all!" Danny said.
"Plankton is back!" Jamie said. The three Hyde teens said that Dr. Glider proposed a plan for next Halloween and that Banjo wanted a 'Dangerous Halloween'. And so Danny, Jamie, Alisha and all the citizens organized one to make Banjo happy. And if they didn't, Banjo will never come home.
"Do you think using ghosts and skeletons to hurt people is a good Halloween?" Banjo asked.
"We just wanted you to come back," Jamie said.
"We set up booby traps all over the place," Danny said. "But then hordes of ghosts and skeletons appeared out of nowhere, attacking everyone."
"Soon it wasn't safe to be on the streets," Alisha said.
"This is a disaster," Banjo replied. "I've got to find the doctor." The Hyde teens said they want to help, too. When Banjo got inside the town hall and saw that the place was full of broken seats. Then a shadow was seen on the stage where announcements were usually performed.
"What's this?" Banjo asked. Then a dark version of Plankton appeared. It was his shadow!
"BANJO!" Plankton shouted in a sing-song tone in his voice. So as Banjo and Plankton battled, they sang this version of "Plankton's Song". Plankton started.
"Well, well, well.
Banjo the Pumpkin King.
Finally made it, huh?
Oh I've been waiting.
So how do you like my Plankton Town?
Ha ha!"
Then Banjo joined as he used his soul robber to fight Plankton.
"It's over! It's over!
This time you've gone too far.
It's over! I'm serious!
Just who do you think you are?
Just because you fooled the town, doesn't make you king.
You'd better give up.
Surrender now, I'm fixing everything!"
Plankton corrected Banjo as he sang the song.
"That's what you think,
But you couldn't be more wrong.
And this will be the last time you hear the Plankton song!"
Then Plankton and his ghost minions went on to the chorus.
"Wow~
(Wow~)
Wow~
(Wow~)
Wow~
(Wow~)
I'm the Plankton Boogie man!"
"Plankton, what have you done to everyone?" Banjo asked.
"They're under my control now," Plankton answered and laughed. Then the battle went on with the song. Banjo began first.
"I see you're pretty proud of all your booby-trapping schemes...
But I can say you'll rule this town, only in your dreams!"
Plankton corrected Banjo again as the song goes.
"That's funny, Banjo! It WAS a dream!
But now it's coming true!
Because even my mere shadow knows
Your days as king are through!
Wow~
(Wow~)
Wow~
(Wow~)
Wow~
(Wow~)
I'm the Plankton Boogie man!"
So Banjo repeated the verse and danced as he sang and a bunch of notes appeared around him. And instead of "I'm the Plankton Boogie man!" Banjo said
"I'M THE PUMPKIN KING!"
Then Plankton's shadow was defeated.
"Beginner's luck if you ask me," Plankton said. "Don't worry. We'll meet again!" Then a pumpkin made of wood appeared. Banjo knew what it is.
"That's the Halloween holiday door," Banjo said. "Now what in the world is that doing here?"

Back at the plaza, Tory Vega the corpse teen girl came. She looked excited.
"Banjo, welcome back! It looks like the Witch Shop just opened for the first time since you left," Tory said. "I guess that means things are safe now that you are back. Terrible things happened while you were gone, Banjo...terrible things." As Banjo wandered around town, he saw a note at the front gate of his house. It was from Mary Lee, saying she's having everyone make the most scariest Halloween ever. It was sent last month on November 15.

Banjo entered the Witches' Shop where Ashley Maria Lomen and Jade West were at.
"Banjo! You've returned!" Ashley said.
"Is it true? The whole town's booby trapped?" Banjo asked.
"Oh. It's embarrassing to talk about. We brought this all upon ourselves," Jade said. "Say, care to buy anything? We got some prime heads and torsos, but they'll cost you an arm and a leg."
"Maybe later," Banjo said. "I have to get going."

Banjo tried to leave town but the main gate won't open. So Banjo asked Tory.
"I think May and Maria have the key," Tory said. "But I don't know where they went." But a manhole lid was wobbly. Banjo spotted two female clown twins both with blond hair and red dresses and riding purple unicycles. But a bunch of skeletons were attacking the twins. Banjo defeated the skeletons and talked to the blond clowns.
"Banjo!" the twins replied.
"No need to panic," Banjo said. "You two can calm down."
"Is that really you, Banjo?" Maria asked.
"Oh. Something terrible is happening," May said. Banjo promised the twin clowns that he will return Halloween Town to normal and that he needs the key to go to the main gate. Maria said she and her sister locked the gate because everything outside of town is becoming dangerous. They tried to look for the key but they couldn't find it. Finally the twins found it and met the Pumpkin King near the gate. But more skeletons came out of nowhere. Banjo destroyed them as May and Maria unlocked the gate.
"We got the gate open for you, Banjo," Maria replied.
"But not before some of Plankton's baddies grabbed Kazooie and carried her off to the cemetery," Tory said. "I've heard the cemetery is pretty dangerous these days. I hope she's okay."
"What? Took Kazooie?" Banjo replied. "That's it. No more Mr. Nice Bones."

At the graveyard, Banjo tried to call Kaela, his pet ghost cat. But she wasn't around. Banjo saw the hanging tree, Alex, looking for his hanged men.
"Banjo, you've come back," Alex said.
"Hello, Hanging Tree, Alex," Banjo greeted. "Huh? What happened to your hanging men?" Alex said Plankton did this with his evil baddies. Alex asked Banjo to find the hanging men. Banjo agreed and went searching. The men could have seen Kazooie somewhere while hiding. But at a time like this, Banjo needs Kaela's glowing nose. Then laughter and singing was heard in the distance. It was the Plankton boys, Jasonpuff, Jigglypuff and David.
"Hmph! I might have known," Banjo said.
"Welcome home, Banjo," David said.
"How was your trip, Banjo?" Jigglypuff asked in a fake polite tone.
"Are you having fun, Banjo?" Jasonpuff said.
"You three wouldn't have anything to do with Plankton's return, would you?" Banjo asked. But the three mischievous kids lied that they didn't. Banjo told them to return the town back to normal right away. But the kids refused because they're "having fun". David revealed their secret mission to stop Banjo and Jasonpuff hit him in the head. So Jasonpuff jumped down as his friends went off. The boy began his battle.
"Now you will have to play with me," Jasonpuff said as he summoned skeletons. After the battle, Jasonpuff was frustrated that the skeletons were gone. He said he will be good but he crossed his fingers behind his back. Then the red wearing boy ran off. Then Banjo reached Kaela's grave and the ghost cat finally came.
"There you are, Kaela," Banjo said. "Come on. I need your help to find some hanged men." Kaela meowed in agreement.

Me: Well, here's chapter one to the story. That's right. We're adding lyrics to the boss songs when Banjo reaches a boss.

Banjo: Yes. I always loved the songs.

Kazooie: Me, too. Especially "Sally's Song" during the spider battle.

Me: I love the song, too. Chris Sarandon and Kath Soucie sounded good together. I even read Chris Sarandon used to be a drummer and background singer in a band as a teenager. Anyway, don't forget to review.
