GodlyJewel: Well, it's finally here, the chapter I know you've been waiting for. Werejaguar, I know you've been on me to make sure this chapter included the romance that was so painfully lacking in the game. I had to dig very, very deep into my romance jar and the renewed scenes are the product of that work. I only hope I did enough justice for this Cannon pairing. So, please enjoy!
Chapter 8: Web of Love
(Narrator's POV)
Jack, Will, and Al ran along the path until they reached the entrance to the Old Graveyard. They followed their way back along the path they'd taken, crossing the bridge and carefully making their way through the flamethrowers. Thanks to Jack sealing the tombstones, none of Boogie's monsters jumped out t them. Though that didn't keep the three of them from letting their guard down. There still were other traps that could be hiding anywhere, and they had no idea what they might face in the underground Burial Chamber. They were almost to the Chamber entrance when Lock jumped out from behind a tombstone.
"Why do you always have to spoil our fun?" he yelled at Jack. "This is the last time you'll get in our way!" Just like before, Lock replaced his devil mask and summoned a small army of skeletons to battle. Gates rose from the ground to ensure the three wouldn't be able to runaway.
"Not again," Al complained.
"No problem," Will said as she readied her baseball bat. "We beat this little punk, and its bye-bye zombie skeletons."
"Smashing time!"
They launched into the fight. Jack took out many of the skeletons with the Soul Robber, and Al was having a blast bashing them with her sledgehammer. She seemed to be getting an additional joy since the loss of her meat clever. Meanwhile, Will chased after Lock. She swung her bat at him, but that kid was like a Mexican jumping bean on steroids.
"Over here!" Locked sneered, cackling at Will's failed attempts to hit him.
"Stay still, ya twerp!" Will shouted. She swung again, only to miss Lock and knock an attacking skeleton's head off instead. "What's the matter? Afraid of losing to a girl, again?"
Lock stopped dodging and glared back at her. "You've never beaten me!"
"Oh really? Remind me again who ran out the fastest when I came after you and your buddies with a toy chainsaw last year? And I believe that high-pitched girly shriek of terror wasn't from Shock." Will smirked. That enraged Lock and he charged at her. She blocked his pathetic plunger attacks, but each time she swung Lock's short height allowed him to dodge. He also summoned more skeletons to intercept her swings while he jumped further away.
"Hey Will, I could use some help!" Al shouted. While Will had been going after Lock, bone boomerang-throwing skeletons had appeared, and were ganging up on Jack. Al tried to help, but without her meat clever it was harder for her to do any long-range attacks. "I'd kill for Chopper right now…"
Leaving Lock, Will rushed over to help her friend. She tossed Al her baseball bat and unsheathed her katanas. She managed to cut down a few skeletons, while Al busied herself bashing and smashing with her new weapon. As the girls took on the skeletons, Jack took the opportunity to attack Lock. Will had been right. If he could take out Lock, then that would prevent him from summoning any more skeletons. He whipped the Soul Robber at the boy, missing a few times. Lock laughed and blew a raspberry at him. Taking advantage of the boy's lowered defenses, Jack whipped the Soul Robber once more. This time Jack was able to knock Lock into the air, sending him flying until he crashed into the ground. With their master defeated, the remaining skeletons returned to the ground.
Lock sat up, his head throbbing as he tried to clear the stars from his eyes. When he saw his monsters were gone, he glared at Jack. "You win this time, Jack."
"There won't be a next time," Jack said. He looked down at the boy with a warning look, daring him to try anything.
"Of course, not, Jack. Whatever you say." Yet again his fingers were crossed behind his back. Before anyone could stop him, Lock jumped to his feet and ran away.
"You better not come back kiddo or else I'll sledgehammer you into the next zip code punk!" Al called after Lock.
"I don't think he'll bother us any time soon," Jack said. "But that may be because something else may be waiting for us inside."
"Well, let's not wait around here…" Al sighed. "Into the darkness we go."
"Hey, you two coming or what?" Will called. She was already at the entrance, holding the door open.
Jack and Al ran to catch up and the three entered the tomb. Inside was dark, save for a few torches to light the path. The crypt was filled with dust, coffins, and cobwebs. As they looked around, it seemed safe to enter, but Jack insisted on taking the lead. He entered; his foot stepped on a stone that sunk into the floor, triggering another trap. The coffin doors opened and spiders jumped out at them. Al screamed and ducked as Jack smashed the arachnids with the Soul Robber.
"RUN!"
They took off running as more spiders and ghosts jumped from the coffins. Thanks to the witches' special potion, Will and Al were able to repeal the ghosts with the weapons. As soon as one of them touch a specter, the ghost would shriek in pain as the power of the wild rose cause them ghosts to disintegrate. Meanwhile, Jack was having a difficult time trying to fend off the spiders. They leapt onto his body, trying to bite him. He brushed them off and began looking around for an escape. He spotted a gate at the end of the path.
"Quickly, head for that gate!" he shouted.
Will nodded. She sheathed one of her swords and grabbed onto Al's arm. She dragged her towards the gate, while ghosts tried to grab at them. Spiders ran across their path and Al paused a few times to smash them with her feet. They reached the gate, and Al held up her bat and sledgehammer like a shield to repeal the ghosts, while Will used her katanas on the spiders.
"Jack, hurry!" she cried.
Jack slashed another ghost before turning and bolting for the gate. He ran past the girls just as they slammed the gate shut, trapping them inside. The spiders began climbing up the gate and the ghosts hovered just behind them. Then, they began to back off.
"Why are they backing off? I've got a bad feeling guys…" Al said, worry building in her voice.
"Maybe there's another way out," Will suggested.
While Al and Will tried to see if there was any way out, Jack took a look around. It was a large stone room that was just as dusty as the outside had been. Cobwebs covered most of the floor and walls, and coffins surrounded the area. There was a lit torch above each coffin, but other than that it was also fairly empty.
Then, as Jack continued to scan the room, his eye sockets fell on a familiar silhouette and his phantom heart soared.
Sally stood on the opposite side of the room, her eyes downcast and her hands folded in her lap. Her delicate form framed by the glow of the only window in the room, increasing her already haunting beauty. She had been frightened when Oogie's minions had taken her from her locked tower and brought her to this isolated place. She only prayed that Jack had found her note and was on his way back to save them all.
"Sally!"
The sound of her name made her turn, and there, standing before her, was…
"Jack!" Her eyes widened in surprise and her hands covered her heart, fearing it would burst from her chest. She had never felt happier in her entire undead life.
Noticing the couple, Will nudged Al's shoulder. "Al, Al! Forget the exit. Cannon moment! Cannon moment!"
Al turned. "Oh boy! 'Bout time!" she said immediately joined Will in watching the sweet scene.
Unable to stand the distance any longer, the two lovers ran to each other. When he was close enough, Jack wrapped his arms around Sally waist and pulled her to his chest. Her arms instantly wrapped around his thin frame as she pulled herself closer into his embrace. Quietly she whispered his name as one of his arms securely held her waist, while the other moved to rest one hand behind her head. Jack hadn't realized just how much he'd missed Sally until she was back in his arms. They physically ached from their two months of separation, only for the pain to grow at the news of his beloved's capture. Jack slowly rocked her as his fingers stroked through her long, autumn-red tresses. He sighed and buried his face into her hair, nuzzling the top of her head as he relished in its softness. Jack felt his shirt begin to dampen and he heard the sound of muffled sobbing. He pulled back his head and looked down at his beloved Sally. Her face was firmly pressed to his chest, but Jack could see how hard Sally was trying to hold back her tears. Despite how tightly she had shut her eyes, small tears managed to find their way down her already tearstained cheeks. She had been through so much; he couldn't imagine what horrors she must have suffered in his absence, and he didn't want to. His heart ached with regret for allowing it to happen. He held her tighter.
"Sally, I'm here. You're safe now," he whispered into her hair. He kissed the top of her head as if to assure her he was real.
Sally had been trying to be brave, but the moment Jack took her in his arms her emotions broke loose. When Oogie returned somehow he had gotten control of Dr. Finklestein, both Jewel and Sally had tried reasoning with their creator, it was as if he was back to his old ways — but it was far worse. First, he'd taken Sally from Jack's home and locked her back in her old room. However, this time Dr. Finklestein had not only put a lock on her door and window, he had also chained her to the wall to prevent her from escaping. Though she could have easily escaped by unstitching her leg, the manor was surrounded by the Doctor's horrible new creations. If she tried to escape, the creatures would show no mercy in ripping Sally to pieces. She only wished she knew what had happened to Jewel. The last she saw of her, Oogie's monsters dragged her away as Dr. Finklestein looked on with uncaring eyes. Sally had never felt so helpless. All she could do was watch from her window as Halloween Town fell to the mercy of Oogie Boogie and his monsters.
But Jack had come back, just as Sally knew he would. More tears pooled in her eyes, and she pressed closer to Jack's chest. She wanted to feel his arms around her, silently pleading for him to hold her just a little tighter, and begging this not to be another dream. The feel of Jack's tender kiss on her head only further proved that he was real.
"Sally." Oh, the sound of her name on his lips was the sweetest music to her ears. Her tears of pain became ones of joy.
"Jack…"
Reluctantly — though wanting to hold his beloved just a little longer — Jack pulled back enough to look at Sally's face. He wanted to memorize every detail, looking for any change. When she wouldn't look at him, Jack gently placed a crooked finger under her chin and raised her head until their eyes met. Her face was filled with pain, but despite all that had happened, Jack saw in her eyes all her unconditional love for him. He smiled and released her chin, only to take her face in both his hands to wiped away her tears with his thumbs. She smiled, nuzzling into his touch as more tears began to fall. Jack leaned in and kissed each one away, then placed a kiss to both her eyes.
When he pulled back they were about an inch apart. Her face was cradled in his hands, and both Sally's hands were resting on his chest. Jack smiled as his eyes fell to Sally's parted lips. He slowly began to lean forward, ready to taste her soft petal lips, wanting to feel them against his own. It seemed a lifetime ago when he kissed her goodbye before taking off on his journey. Now, all he wanted was to show her all he felt: how much he'd missed her, how frightened he was that he might lose her, and the joy he felt at having her back in his arms once again. His eyes began to slowly close as he was only one inch away from pure bliss.
Seeing his intention, Sally closed her eyes and angled her head to allow Jack full access to her waiting lips. Her feelings mirrored his own, and her heart beat wildly inside her chest as Jack drew closer. She trembled as his warm breath whispered her name once more.
There was a scurrying sound and dust fell on their heads. They drew back and looked up to see an odd swirl glowing a bright orange above them on the ceiling. Reacting on instinct, Jack moved Sally to stand behind him, using his own body to shield her. From where the stood by the gate, Will and Al also readied their weapons. Before anyone could blink a thread shot down from the swirl and wrapped up Sally, entangling her as she was raised to the ceiling.
"Aaaah!"
"What's this?" Jack shouted. He was too slow to stop Sally from being captured. He readied his Soul Robber for the impeding attack. Following his lead, Will and Al joined him at his side.
Everyone looked up just as the orange swirl dropped to the floor, creating a large crater and a cloud of dust. When the dust settled, the swirl had become a black spherical shape. As it started to rise, eight long, hairy legs shot from the sides. Finally the creature came into view. It was a giant spider, about the size of a double-decker bus. It had large mandibles, razor sharp teeth and four large eyes. Silvery saliva dripped down from its jaws and its mandibles clacked together angrily. It rose on its back legs and roared before crashing back down, bracing itself for an attack.
"You're gonna need a bigger shoe," Will whispered to her friend.
"Dang… These were new shoes too!" Al said, brandishing her weapon.
The spider charged at them. They all moved out of the way so that the spider crashed headfirst into the wall. It roared in pain and shook its head free of the dizziness. Apparently all their dodging had done was make it angrier.
"Be careful, Jack," Sally called from above.
"Don't worry, Sally. I'll save you!"
"Jack, giant spider. FOCUS!" Will called as the spider readied to charge again. It snarled and shot webs at them from its mouth. She dodged to her right, avoiding the sticky webbing.
Al breathed deeply. She never liked spiders all that much, but a gigantic one was pushing her tolerance level for arachnids. "It's okay… It's okay… It just a spider.. GAH!" she screamed and launched herself at it. "DIE DEMON SPAWN! DIE!"
Jack drew his attention from Sally to the spider and attacked with the Soul Robber, but it seemed to have no effect. No matter how many times he hit it, nothing seemed to phase this thing.
Sally was in despair, helplessly dangling above her friends. If only things had turned out differently, then none of this would have ever happened.
SALLY
We should have known not to believe Then things would not have turned so bad
Hearing his beloved's voice, Jack couldn't help but join in her song.
JACK
It's true his plan was to deceive But that should not make you so sad
SALLY
But danger waits at every turn
JACK
And I am ready To set things right here
SALLY
How can you say that you will be okay? And come back another day?
"Singing? At a time like this, you sing?!" Al shouted. The spider spotted her and spit its webbing at her. "Oh no you don't!"
Al barely had time to move as she dodged the web shots. However, she didn't move fast enough and she was caught in the crossfire. Looking down the webbing had latched to her shoes, trapping her in place. She tried to free herself but only managed to get her hands stuck. The spider took the opportunity and began to charge.
"Hey, Ugly! Over here!" Will called. The spider turned and jumped, nearly landing on Will as she dodged out of its path.
Jack's anger flared as he watched the spider charge his friends. As he readied to strike, the Soul Robber began to glow blue. Jack launched another attack once it landed, this time hitting the Soul Robber directly against an orange pumpkin on the lower part of the spider's back. It roared before tunneling underground. They waited for it to reemerge but instead, thousands of miniature spiders poured out of the hole. They scurried all over the place, jumping and biting as Jack smashed them. Seeing the swarm, Will rushed to Al's side and used her katana to free Al from the webs. Once her legs were freed, Al grabbed her sledgehammer and began smashing spiders left and right.
"And to think, I used to like spiders!" Jack said, slashing another spider. When the little spiders were defeated, the monster spider reemerged and hissed at them.
"Hey, that thing looks smaller than before?" Al asked.
Indeed, the spider had shrunk in size. Apparently when Jack had struck the pumpkin it somehow caused the spider to shirk, making it weaker. With this in mind, Jack made it his objective to get the creature weak enough for one of them to be able to smash it.
"Will, Al! Aim for the pumpkin on its backside. That's its weak spot!"
Al looked up just as she dodged another one of the spider's body slam attacks. "Why me? Why must you come after me ya nasty eight-legged freak?!"
"Just hit it!" Will yelled, slashing at the spider's leg. Getting to her feet, Al rushed to the other side and used her sledgehammer to attack the other legs.
With its attention focused on Will and Al, Jack managed another three blows to the spider's weak spot. Once again it shrieked in pain and buried into the ground, releasing another wave of miniature spiders.
"GAH! It keeps reproducing!" Al screamed, smashing the spiders.
Sally did her best to encourage her friends. She could see them tiring out from battle, but though the giant spider weaken with each of Jacks blows, it was becoming harder to attack. Again her heart felt heavy as she bemoaned letting this all happen.
SALLY
What will become of our dear town? Not that we've let out leader down
Hearing her distress, Jack was not about to let her take the blame. After all, had he not left town, Oogie's minions would not have dared to bring their master back. If anyone was to blame, that burden must befall on the Pumpkin King's shoulders.
JACK
You know, dear Sally, that's not true
We can take this town back, me and you
SALLY
There's so much danger yet to face
JACK
But I'm not worried, back home I hurried
BOTH
If we work hard
We'll overcome out shame
And beat him at his game
The spider appeared once more from its underground hideaway. It was smaller than before, but now it was faster and had better agility.
"You're really making me angry," Jack said, dodging more web attacks. The girls weren't so lucky. One of the shots hit Will in the hand, while the other hit Al in her chest. Both girls were trapped against the wall, leaving Jack to finish off the spider.
"Jack, watch out!" Sally warned.
Jack heard at the last second. He turned around just as the spider charged. He didn't have enough time to move before the spider ran him down.
"JAAAAAAK!"
Sally, Will and Al all panicked as the spider began to back of. Luckily Jack was still alive (so to speak) but he was crumpled on the ground. That last attack had done a lot of damage. The Soul Robber's blue glow began to fade, and returned back to its original green. Jack staggered to his feet as the spider prepared to charge again. Seeing he was in trouble, Will and Al struggle to get free. Will managed to free her arm but her katana was still stuck to the wall. With no time to free it, Will dashed over and grabbed Al's fallen sledgehammer. She ran up to the spider and bashed its head. The creature staggered to the left, giving Will a chance to lung at its weak point. She gave it a good thrust and sent the creature back into the ground.
"Jack, wake up. Another wave of spiders is coming, and I really could use some help."
Jack only nodded. Clearing his head, he readied himself for another attack. They smashed the little spiders until they cleared, signalling the monster spider's return. When it emerged the spider was only an inch taller than the spiders they had just fought.
"Uh, Jack, I'll let you handle this," Will said. "I'm gonna go pry Al off the wall." She slung the sledgehammer over her shoulder and went to help Al.
Jack shrugged and walked over to the spider. It was rather pathetic as it scurried around. He almost felt bad, but brushed it off and whacked the spider once more on its weak spot. It shrieked and collapsed to the floor. At that moment, Will had just freed Al from the web. She shivered, then took her sledgehammer back from Will. Walking over to the fallen spider, Al lifted the hammer and delivered final blow, squishing spider.
She looked up, covered in spider mush at surprised Jack. "And I smash it with a hammer!"
Al laughed at Jack's expression to her comment, and Will joined in as she retrieved and sheathed her katanas before walking back over to her friends. Suddenly, they heard a loud snap. Their gaze was drawn up to see Sally. The webbing that held her was beginning to break.
"Sally!" Jack ran right under just as the last thread broke.
"Jaaaaack!" she screamed as she fell, but Jack was ready. He held out his arms and caught her before she could hit the ground. She opened her eyes; she was alright. Jack sighed in relief and cradled her closer, nuzzling his skull against her forehead.
"Are you alright, Sally?" he whispered into her hair.
"Jack…" She nuzzled his neck as she felt her terror subside. "Yes, I'm fine," she replied.
"Heads up!" Will called.
Jack and Sally looked up to see something plummeting towards them. Tightening his hold on Sally, Jack jumped out of the way just as the object hit the floor. When the dust settled, the four friends looked to see what had fallen. Sitting there in the center of the floor was a large pink wooden door in the shape of a heart.
"Hey, it's the Valentine's Day Door!" Will exclaimed.
"Oh great," Al groaned. "Hey, Boney Butt! Mind getting that vile to make this thing easier to carry?"
Despite his want to hold her a little longer, Jack needed to retrieve the shrinking potion. He kissed Sally's forehead before setting her down. However, the webbing binding Sally was still sticky so when he attempted to set her down, she was stuck to his arms.
"Oh!" He laughed nervously, trying to think how he could free them both.
"Need a hand?" Will asked.
Jack nodded and the girl walked over. First, Jack had her reach inside his jacket and grab the vile. Placing it in her pocket, Will then unsheathed one katana and carefully slid the blade between Sally's shoulder and the webbing. Titling it to the side, careful not to cut Sally's skin, Will slid the blade down until there was an opening big enough for her to pry Sally free. Jack on the other hand, was trying to remove the web from his sleeves. While he did that, Will walked over to the Holiday Door. Removing the lid, Will let one drop fall onto the door and waited for the potion to take effect. Once it was small enough, Will reached down and picked up the door and placed it in her pocket. When she turned around to hand Jack back the potion, she was surprised by Sally gathering her in a hug.
"Oh, thank you!" Sally said. She released the girl and looked over to Al. "Both of you."
"Hey, don't look at us," Will modestly replied. "Jack did all the work. Al and I just took care of the mini spiders."
"Speaking of which," Al interrupted. "Anyone got a towel?" She held up her arms, which were still covered in spider goop along with her upper torso.
"Eew!" Will winced. "Sorry girly, but no towels here."
"Hose?" Al asked. "Seriously guys, this stuff is everywhere!"
However, their pleas went unnoticed. Jack had turned his attention back to Sally. He took her back in his arms and held her close. "Are you sure you're all right, Sally?" he asked.
"Oh, Jack. You came back!" Sally embraced Jack back, loving the feel of arms around her once more.
"I got your note," he chuckled. Then his eyes went half-lidded again as he brushed a loose of hair strand from Sally's face. She smiled and, unable to help himself, Jack leaned down once more to kiss Sally.
"Guys," Will interrupted. "Hate to cut in on your reunion, but could we save this till after we escape the Burial Chamber?"
"Way to ruin the moment, Will," Al said, flinging some web and guts at Will.
"Hey, we still have those ghosts and spiders outside, and without Itsy Bitsy around to scare them off, we're all practically sitting ducks."
"Devil…" Al said, shaking some other gunk off. "Let's go kick some ghost and MORE spider butts!"
"The girls are right," Jack agreed. "Let's get out of here." Without another word, Jack lifted Sally into his arms bridle-style and carried her out of the chamber. He didn't care that Will and Al were lagging behind him. They were tired and double-checking to make sure that there weren't any other monsters about to attack them. Once they were outside, Jack didn't stop running until they were safely out of the Old Graveyard. Luckily they encountered no monsters, but Will and Al were exhausted from trying to keep up with the skeleton's long strides. When they reached the base of the old tree, Hanging Tree smiled and welcomed them all back. He and his Hanging Men widened their smiles when they saw Sally being safely carried in Jack's arms. She smiled back as Jack set her down, while Will and Al collapsed against some tombstones near the old tree.
"I'm taking a nap NOW!" Al shouted, curling up in a ball and used an exposed root as a pillow. "No one disturb me!"
"I'd listen to her," Will added. "That girl will dismember anyone who tries to cut in on her Siesta Time."
"Amen!" Al chimed in, fist pumping before konking out.
"So Jack, what's the plan now?" Will asked.
Jack face was stern as he turned to Sally. "First thing would be to get you somewhere safe, Sally. After everything that's happened, I'm not going anywhere until I know you're protected. Perhaps you can stay with Helgamine and Zeldaborne."
Will groaned. "Jack, the girl's not made of glass. Besides, don't we have something more important to do? Like, I don't know, stop Oogie from ruining Halloween for his own sick game? Not to mention figure out why he hide the Holiday Doors."
"Shhhh! I'm napping over here!" Al said, swatting vaguely around her.
Will rolled her eyes and swatted back. "Actually, what I really wanna know is how the heck Oogie got control in the first place?"
"That was bothering me as well," Jack said. "Mr. Hyde said Dr. Finklestein told everyone I wanted Halloween to be more dangerous. But how could that be? I've known the Doctor for a long time, but I just can't understand why he would do this?"
"Jack, you have to rescue Dr. Finklestein!" Sally intervened, grabbing everyone's attention. "A few days after you left, Dr. Finklestein came over to the house and demanded I return to the lab immediately. When I got there, Jewel warned me that I shouldn't have come, but before she could get me out, Oogie's monster grabbed us. They took Jewel away and I was locked in my room. Before we were separated, Jewel gave me this."
Then, taking a step back, Sally began undoing the stitching from her left wrist. Before Jack could ask what she was doing, an odd looking metal key fell into her open palm. It was shaped like the dome on top of the Doctor's manor. Sally handed Jack the key.
"This key opens the gate to his manor. I was able to hide it by keeping it inside my wrist."
"Nicely done, Sally," Will complimented.
He took the key as Sally reached for her hidden needle and thread. "Thanks, Sally. I'm glad you're safe."
Feeling bashful, Sally turned so her back was to Jack while she restitched her hand. "We're all safe now that our Pumpkin King has returned."
"Pumpkin King? Sally, that's it!" Jack exclaimed.
She finished fixing her wrist and turned back to Jack. "What's it?"
"I am the Pumpkin King and I can use my Pumpkin Fire to fight Oogie and his army. Good thinking, Sally!"
"Thank you, Jack."
"No," Jack took her in his arms, "thank you, Sally." He lifted her arm and kissed her newly stitched wrist. As she blushed Jack smiled devilishly. Moving his hand to capture Sally's face, he leaned down and finally gave her the kiss he'd wanted to give her since his return. Sally's eyes closed as she melted into the kiss. Unlike their previous kisses during their courtship — each one had been chaste and endearing — this one held two months of pent up passion. Sally's arms delicately intertwined around Jack's neck, and she leaned up on her toes to get closer. Jack cradled the back of her head in one hand while his other splayed across her back. He pulled her as close as possible, deepening the kiss — completely unaware of the others around him.
"Ahem!"
Jack and Sally pulled back to see Will and Al angrily glaring at Jack. Will had her arms crossed over her chest, and a clearly annoyed expression etched deep into her face. Meanwhile, Al had woken from her nap and her eyes were narrowed in a hard glare. Both girls looked ready to attack.
Jack stared at them, thoroughly confused. "What?"
"You can make fire this whole bloody time?!" Al shouted as she grit her teeth. "And you're just telling us NOW!?"
