Here comes chapter five and a short Jack and Sally battle takes place (don't worry I'm not going to split them up). Then you'll get to here why Jack hates the town of Kuroko so much. Anyways, thanks again for reading my story, I really appreciate it.

I don't own the characters of TNBC, they belong to Tim Burton. I only own my OC'S and the plot line of this story. P.S. Please review if you can.

Chapter 5: A Town Full of Superstition

The Mayor shrieked and ran into an empty cell, as Sally dashed by him, nearly knocking him over. She wanted only one thing: revenge.

Jack stood his ground. He didn't want to hurt Sally, but he would like to know her better (and then some). Sally swung her sword towards Jack, as he gracefully dodged each attack or blocked them with his cane. It almost looked like they were dancing, although one was incredibly graceful and the other one was unbalanced.

For a while, Torako stood in her cell and watched, seeing how well her sister could fight. But the fight was taking too long, and eventually Torako got bored. At least she had her magic back now. Torako hovered her hands over one another, creating a small black ball of dark shadows. Then she pulled her hands away very quickly, which caused the ball to break and the broken pieces hit and broke the lock on her cell.

She stepped out to help her sister, who was now 10 cells away, but was stopped in her tracks when she heard the sound the sound of stomping feet heading towards the door.

Jack heard the sound as well, and knew what it was: the captain and his guards.

Jack took his cane and used it to pull Sally close to him, which caused her whole face to turn a bright red.

"L-let g-go!" She shouted, and swung her sword around once more. Jack grabbed her arm right before she hit him and brought his face close to her's.

"Please," he whispered, "I want to help you, but I need you to do what I say." Then he turned his head towards Torako and the Mayor and said "And that goes for you two too!"

Torako was full of suspicion, she didn't know whether he was telling the truth or not.

"What's your plan, Jack?" The Mayor asked.

"I'm glad you asked, Mayor!" Jack said, "I'll need you to get that red paint in the closet, and then I'll tell you."

The Mayor rushed over to the supply closet as Torako made her way over to Jack and Sally. Jack pulled his cane away, finally releasing Sally. Sally was glad she was released, because she was about to pass out. Torako rushed over to her sister and helped her stand up.

Jack stared at his cane sentimentally, he wished he didn't have to do this, but it was his only choice. Jack lifted his cane and slammed it as hard as he could against a jail cell bar which caused everyone to jump and shriek. There was now a huge dent in his cane.

"All right," Jack said, "it's time for phase two of our plan. Mayor, the paint please!"

…

The captain and his guards were at the front door of the jail cell. "This is it men!" The captain said, "The Red Dragonfly AND The One-Eyed Witch are inside this building! Now the fact that they are together means that anything can and will happen. Be on your toes, men!"

The guards steeled their senses and prepared for battle as the captain opened the door. They were ready for anything, except what they saw next.

Jack was holding Sally, whose head was dripping red blood. The Mayor propped up Torako who was in a similar condition. The captain and the guards were mortified.

"What h-happed here?" The captain asked, trying hard not to provoke the savage in front of him.

"He didn't mean to!" The Mayor said, "He was just defending himself, the witches ganged up on him!"

Torako was trying so hard not to laugh. "Your acting is so bad, Mayor!" Torako whispered.

The Mayor was offended by this remark. "My acting! Look at your sister's! She looks like she's taking a nap over there!"

Unfortunately for Sally, she was a few feet away from Torako and the Mayor, because if she was closer to them, she would smack them both in the head for that remark. Thankfully, the captain was too oblivious to notice any of the ridiculous remarks that the "dead" witches were making. He was more immersed in the horror ahead of him.

"You…hit them…." The captain mumbled.

"Yes." Jack replied, feeling very good about his acting skills.

The captain looked at the incredibly large dent in Jack's cane. He found it hard to speak, "With….the….cane?" The captain was beginning to shake, especially when Jack stepped up to him, still holding Sally.

"Listen captain," Jack said, "I understand that this scene…bothers you. So I'm going to take these girls back to the cliff and give them a proper burial." Sally blushed a little bit upon hearing this.

"I'm glad he didn't say 'throw us off a cliff.'" Sally thought. "Maybe he really is trying to help us."

Jack began to make his way past the captain and the Mayor followed close behind, holding Torako (or at least trying to).

The captain watched the pair of men carry their victims out the door, and then realization came to him.

"Wait!" The captain said, "Since when do rag dolls bleed?"

A chill went down Jack's spine. He had been caught! Sally leapt out of Jack's arms and unsheathed her sword in an attempt to defend mayor dashed behind Jack, leaving Torako to be surrounded by guards, and soon he, Jack and Sally were surrounded as well.

The captain made his way towards Jack, laughing sinisterly and raised his gun in Jack's general vicinity.

"I always knew you'd do something like this, Jack." The captain said.

Jack felt more chills; he was in the worst situation possible. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Ever since the day you've been born Jack, you've always defended the unwanted. Those creatures we never need or want could have been so easily disposed of, if you weren't in the way."

"I….I don't understand…." Jack mumbled.

This caused the captain to laugh even harder, and even rivaled Torako's laugh.

"Look around you, Jack!" The captain shouted, "Every prisoner in here is friends with you! And now look at you, helping those witches! It's disgusting how much you care for these vile creatures!"

Jack couldn't take anymore of this abuse. It felt like everything he did to help those in need was for nothing. He fell on his knees, and it felt like the world was spinning around him. The guards began to come closer, but Sally swung her sword about, keeping them away from Jack. "Get back!" She shouted.

The mayor jumped in front of the two. "Wait just a minute!" He shouted, "We are going to protect Jack and these witches AND were going to give them permission to pass through the town freely by order of the mayor!"

The captain wasn't fazed. "You think just because you're the Mayor, you're loved by all, and all obey you? You're no better than the Skellington boy! You're just a spineless wimp, whose own leadership is considered life's greatest mysteries! No wonder you took Jack in! You're both pathetic!"

The captain turned towards Sally and then looked back at Torako, getting ready for another insult.

"Don't even try." Torako growled.

The captain scoffed and looked at Jack. "Do you know why you protect the unwanted, Jack? Because you are unwanted."

The captain began to laugh even harder, and his voice rang throughout the jail, until someone broke his laughter.

"Who says you can decide whether or not we're unwanted?" Jack said. He rose up to his feet. "You're living in a town full of superstition, captain, and you're not enforcing justice, you're just enforcing foolishness!"

The captain brought his gun closer to Jack, "Hold your tongue, if you value your life, boy," he growled.

"Well you certainly value these prisoner's lives!" Jack protested.

"What do you mean, they're just filthy prisoners!"

"They're people who were put in here because of ridiculous superstitions! Look at this man; you suspected he was a werewolf because he spent most of his time in the forest. Well, you know what? He's a biologist, and he was just about to discover a cure for a deadly disease! And this man; you thought he was a vampire, simply because he dislikes garlic. I've got a newsflash for you! Almost no one likes garlic! Unfortunately for you, there are MANY towns that co-exist with different cultures and all kinds of monsters, and one day it will be like that in this town too!"

The captain was enraged; it was the first time someone stood up against him. "Get them…kill them…ALL OF THEM!"

The guards began to charge after Jack, Sally and the Mayor, as Torako leapt towards them.

Jack jumped in front of the other three. "Run!" He shouted, "I'll hold them off!"
