View was currently looking over a different assortment of orbs of which he would normally find. These orbs were more or less Halloween based. Even though it wasn't the month, he felt that time moved a lot slower for him for some reason.
"Let's see which one of these will do it?" View asked himself, holding his chin in contemplation.
Suddenly, a light bulb appeared above his head, indicating he had the perfect idea.
"I think I know the perfect world..." View said as he searched the chest and found the world he thought off. He then walked off back to the viewing area.
"Oh, forgot about this." View said as he grabbed the light bulb from the air. "Don't know how that keeps happening around here."
Backing the theatre, the students were currently talking with one another.
"So do you think Jaune would be able to pull something like that off in Beacon?" Ruby asked.
"I doubt it." Weiss said. "Beacon is a very different place then to the 99"
I tend to agree." Blake said. "But as we saw, we were fooled and Jaune was able to beat Ozpin."
"Maybe Jaune will convince us to join if he ever does this thing back home." Yang said.
"He'll have to have something very worth the while if he's ever going to convince us." Weiss said.
"Well, I know he'll offer Ruby cookies." Ren said.
"I won't lie, that'll win me over." Ruby admitted.
Before they couldn't continue the conversation any further, View came back into the theatre room holding the orb he mentioned.
"Another world to show, eh View." Coco asked. "I'm hoping it's a good one."
"Well, I'm hoping it'll please some of you." View said.
"So what can you tell us about this one?" Pyrrha asked.
"Well, this one is a bit unique to say the least." View said. "Though its appearance will be a bit deceiving, it's not what you may seem."
"Well, that's not vague in the least." Sun said.
"It isn't gonna upset Adrian is it?" Saphron asked, worried for her son.
"No, no." View said. "It look a little scary, but I assure you that nothing bad will happen"
"Is there anyone else you can say about this world?" Ironwood asked.
"Other than the fact that it does contain a few songs here or there."
"Wait, songs?" Blake asked in a confused voice.
View nodded in response.
"So, are we going to see Jaune sing in this?" Velvet asked, trying to hide her smile at the thought.
"I would think so, yes." View nodded.
"Oh goodie, a musical..." Qrow remarked.
"I bet he is going to sound awesome!" Nora said. "I bet he's like a rocker!"
"I wouldn't hold my breath" Weiss said, remembering when Jaune tried to serenade her.
"Ah, remember Miss Schnee, these worlds are very different from yours..." View said as he prepared to throw the orb. "Especially this one..." View finished as he tossed the orb.
The screen was black at first, with an eerie music playing in the background. But soon words appeared on the screen before the audience.
The Nightmare before Christmas.
"Interesting title." Ozpin said.
"But what does it mean exactly." Glynda pondered.
The screen then changed to a forest, the sun rising as the tress were blowing. But in the middle of these trees were a number of doors with symbols on them.
"Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems, in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams." A Narrator's voice spoke as the screen showed each door with its own unique symbol. "For the story that you are about to be told, took place in the holiday worlds of old."
"So each door represents a different holiday?" Winter said to herself as she watched in interest.
"That sounds cool!" Ruby said in awe.
"Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from." The Narrator said as the screen stopped moving once it reached one of the doors, a doors with the symbol of a smiling Jack o Lantern on it.
If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun..." The Narrator finished as the door opened, nothing but blackness as the screen zoomed in, entering into a new strange world.
"And it appears that Halloween is the one we're seeing." Ironwood observed.
Music started to play as a lone jack o lantern appeared in mid-air, with autumn leaves brushing in the wind. It was soon realized that it was a scarecrow with a jack o lantern for a head and had a sign above him that read. "Halloween Town"
"Oh, ominous" Nora said.
"Is that music playing in the background?" Ilia asked.
"I guess this is where the musical aspect comes in." Ren said.
The wind then moved the scarecrow into another direction, as if he were pointing his way to something. The view kept moving, until it reached a grave yard.
"Boys and girls of every age!" A shadow in the shape of a ghost sang.
"Wouldn't you like to see something strange?" A wolf like shadow appeared on another grave.
"Oh, you wouldn't believe it, wolfy" Nora said in an excited tone.
"Come with us and you will see..." A two headed shadow appeared before the gates of the graveyard opened up. "This is our town of Halloween!"
"This is Halloween!" A trio of ghosts sang out as they hovered around some spikes. "This is Halloween! Pumpkins scream in the dead of night!" The ghosts sang as pumpkins fell from the sky and landed on each pike, each one with a different expression.
"This is Halloween! Everybody make a scene. Trick or treat till the neighbours gonna die of fright" The ghosts sang as they flew towards a town.
"IT'S OUR TOWN! EVERYBODY SCREAM!" The ghosts screeched as they entered inside a dark house. "In this town of Halloween."
"I am the one hiding under your bed Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red!" A voice said as it did indeed have glowing red eyes and sharp teeth.
"I knew it..." Ruby said quietly in an intense voice, remembering the time when she was little and she would tell Yang and her dad about the monster but they didn't believe her.
"I must say, it is a very interesting tune" Ren said as he listened to the music.
The screen then changed to a staircase. "I am the one hiding under your stairs..." A voice sang as a hand reached out that had snakes for fingers. "Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair"
Pyrrha slightly shivered at the sight of that monster, remembering something similar to her childhood.
The screen then changed to a mansion. "This is Halloween, this is Halloween..."
"Halloween!" A vampire emerged from behind a grandfather clock.
"Halloween!" another came out of a sofa like coffin.
"Halloween!" another came out of a large chair.
"Halloween!" The last one hanging upside down.
"Ergh...vampires." Weiss cringed.
"Not a fan?" Yang asked.
"Not at all." Weiss remarked.
The vampires walked in a single file line out of their home and into their streets. "In this town, we call home, everybody hail to the pumpkin song!"
"In this town! Don't we love it know, everybody's waiting for the next surprise!" The Mayor, Leonardo, sang as he suddenly rotated his body around, his head still in place.
"Leo?" James said in surprise.
Sun was also shocked to see his headmaster.
"Apparently he's one of these monsters as well." Qrow slurred, already getting drunk.
A cat was running his way down some stairs and into an alleyway. "Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can..." The cat then leapt onto a trash can. "Something's waiting now to pounce, and how..."
"I feel like something bad is gonna happen" Blake said.
"Oh come on, Blake don't be a scaredy cat." Yang teased. "It's not like..."
"YOU'LL SCREAM!" A monster suddenly popped out of a trash can, flinging the cat away.
"Holy crap!" Yang yelled out loud, surprising her friends around her. She looked to see her partner grinning at her. "Not a word." Yang wanted.
"Now who's a scaredy cat?" Blake teased.
"This is Halloween!" A werewolf sang as he came in bursting through the wall.
"Red 'n black!"
"Slimy green!" A gloopy monster sang as he came out of a sewer grate.
"Aren't you scared?" The werewolf asked.
"Well, that's just fine!" A pair of witches on broomsticks said as they flew. "Say it once, say it twice Take the chance and roll the dice Ride with the moon in the dead of night!" The witches sang as they flew out of a well as a large hanging tree with a face came in, with hanging skeletons on his branches.
"Well, it looks like those guys are just hanging around" Yang punned, calming down after that jumpscare.
"Everybody scream, everybody scream!" The tree sang in a booming voice as he showed his skeleton men. "In our town of Halloween!" The Skeletons sang as the tree opened his mouth and the screen zoomed in.
Suddenly, a clown on a wheel came on screen. "I am the clown with tear away face!" He then took his own face off, revealing nothing but a black void. "Here in a flash and gone without a trace!" The clown said in a deep voice before it disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Nora stared at the screen intensely. "I ain't scared of you clown boy!" Nora whispered, knowing she would take him on.
"Nora, it isn't here." Ren tried to calm down.
"You don't know that, Renny" Nora proclaimed.
The screen then changed to a girl with Gray skin and stitches brushing her hair. "I am the who when you call who's there."
"I am the wind blowing through your hair."
Ruby felt like she knew that girl, but couldn't tell who it was.
The moon above then had fearsome shadow appear on it. "I am the shadow on the moon at night filling your dreams to the brim with fright!" Bats then came flying out of the shadows mouth.
"This is Halloween, this is Halloween..." A chorus sang as more town people came into Halloween Town. "Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!"
A guillotine then sliced onto a pumpkin where two children where at. "Tender lumplings everywhere Life's no fun without a good scare!"
"Damn, those are some creepy looking kids." Qrow remarked.
"That's our job..." A parent monster said. "But we're not mean..." The mother sang. "In our town of Halloween!"
"I suppose none of these monsters possess any real negative treats" Glynda said. "Merely doing what comes natural to them."
"In this town, don't we love it now? Everyone's waiting for the next surprise!" The mayor sang as he gestured to a monster behind him, the monster was pulling a horse while the jack o lantern with the pumpkin head was riding.
"Hey, it's that scarecrow from before." Velvet pointed out.
"What are they doing with it?" Coco asked.
"Skeleton Jaune might catch you in the back and scream like a banshee Make you jump out of your skin" The town's people sang.
"Wait, Jaune?" Saphron said as her son watched on, he was a little scared at first but after watching it a little more, he didn't see these monsters to be mean.
"This is Halloween, everybody scream..." The Jack o scarecrow suddenly sprung into life as he grabbed a torch from one of the town's people.
"Won't ya please make way for a very special guy" The skeletons sang as the woman from before watched on, hidden.
"Wait...I know who that is!" Ruby said.
"Who is it?" Blake asked.
"Tell us later!" Nora said. "I wanna see the end of this."
"Our man Jaune is king of the pumpkin patch!" The town sang as the scarecrow placed the torch within his mouth and was immediately set on fire and danced around. "Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now!"
"Woah he's on fire!" Yang exclaimed in shock.
"How is he still moving!?" Sun asked.
The Pumpkin King nearly gotten to close as the town's people flinched back in awe.
"This is Halloween, this is Halloween Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!" The town sang as the dancing scarecrow then made a leap into the air and landed into a glowing, green fountain.
Two of the kids went up to the fountain to watch the outcome. "In this town we call home everyone hail to the pumpkin song"
Just then, instead of the scarecrow, a skeleton dressed in a black came out of the waters, rising up with wide eyes and a big expression as the town chanted and cheered for their one true king, Jaune Skellington, The Pumpkin King.
"Jaune..."Pyrrha said in awe and shock, seeing her crush as a skeleton but still okay.
The rest of the students were also shocked to see the blonde knight as a skeleton and rising out of the fountain.
"My I present to you...the king of Halloween" View said.
The witches cackle their hearts and threw their hats in the air.
"It's over!" The clown exclaimed.
"We did it!" The axed monster said.
"Wasn't that terrifying!?" The werewolf asked two monsters.
"What a night!" The cyclops and Hyde monster said at the same time.
"So what exactly was their goal" Ironwood asked.
"To have a scary night for their holiday" View said.
"That makes sense." Qrow remarked.
"Great Halloween everybody!" Leonardo praised as Jaune got off the well.
"I believe it was our most horrible yet!" Jaune praised with grace. "Thank you everyone." Jaune praised his people.
"No, thanks to you, Jaune." Leonardo insisted. "Without your brilliant leadership..."
"Not at all mayor" Jaune said.
"You're such a scream, Jaune." A vampire praised.
"You're a witch's fondest dream!" A witch added.
"You made walls fall, Jaune" Another witch said, just under him.
"Man, vomit boy is getting a lot of praise of this." Yang said.
"He is the one who orchestrated this." Winter said.
"Arc does deserve it, he could use a lot more confidence." Coco said.
The woman from before, now known as Penny, watched on and smiled at Jaune. She was then suddenly grabbed by the arm and was pulled aside by her creator, Dr Merlot, who was in a wheelchair.
"Wait, Penny?" Ironwood said in shock.
"I knew it was her!" Ruby exclaimed, happy that she was right and to see her friend in one of these.
"And it looks like Merlot is her creator!" Weiss said.
"Merlot?" Qrow said. "You mean that whackjob scientist? I thought he was iced?"
"We did as well, until the students found out about his experiments and put a stop to him" Ozpin said.
"The deadly nightshade you slipped me wore off, Sally." Merlot said.
"Let go!" Penny demanded.
"You're not ready for so much excitement!" Merlot said.
"Yes I am!" Penny insisted.
The Doctor didn't listen as he turned his chair and proceeded to move. "You're coming with me!" Merlot gritted as Penny struggled to get out of his grip.
"What a jerk!" Ruby pouted, not happy with the way this scientist was treating her friend.
"No, I am not!" Penny said as she then pulled a thread from her arm as it then detached as she ran off and the doctor to fall of his chair.
"Come back here you foolish oaf!" Dr Merlot demanded as the detached arm started to bonk him on the head, over and over.
"That'll show him!" Nora said.
"Man, that looked just wrong for some reason" Yang shivered, uncomfortable for seeing her arm come off.
Meanwhile, Jaune was slowly backing away from his over adoring public as they continued to praise the skeleton.
"Ooo Jaune, you make wounds ooze and flesh crawl." A fishy creature praised.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Very much" Jaune said, a little overwhelmed by the constant praise.
"I know the feeling to well." Pyrrha said. She too would feel overwhelmed by the constant praise of over eager fans.
"Hold it! We haven't given out the prizes yet!" The Mayor proclaimed as everyone watched in excitement while Jaune managed to slip away. "Our first award goes to the vampires for most blood drained in a single evening." The mayor said while holding out a huge trophy.
Jaune hid behind a wall as he watched as the public was now focused on their contest. Jaune gave a relieved sigh at this and started to walk through the streets with a sombre expression.
"Smooth on Leo's part" Qrow said.
"That's not something I know him as." Ironwood said.
"I tend to agree." Ozpin said.
Jaune Skellington then walked by a jazz band, played by a few ghouls. Jaune then just tossed in a penny for them.
The Sax player looked up at the skeleton. "Nice work, Bone Daddy."
"Yeah, I guess so." Jaune said, sounding dejected. "Just like last year and the year before that and the year before that." Jaune listed out as he exited the town through the gates.
"I don't get it. Is Jaune upset?" Ruby asked.
"It would appear so." Ghira said.
"But why?" Yang asked, curious to see one of her friends upset.
"I guess seeing the rest of this will give us our answers." Ren said.
Meanwhile, within the graveyards, Penny was currently looking over her stump where her arm used to be. She was spooked when she heard the sounds of the gates opening, thinking it was the doctor, she hid behind a tombstone.
It was in fact, Jaune as he entered the graveyard and proceeded to aimlessly walk through it with a thoughtful expression on his face as Penny watched on from her spot.
Jaune walked, eventfully walking by the pet section of the cemetery. He walked by a grave site with the name "Zwei" on it.
"WHAT!?" Ruby and Weiss yelled out loud, making Blake and Velvet wince in pain at the loud pitch.
"Is he..." Yang hesitated to ask.
"Just wait..." View said.
Jaune then patted his leg in response. Once he did that, a spectral form popped out of the grave. It was the ghostly form of Zwei, who had a happy expression in seeing his master.
"He's a ghost!?" Weiss exclaimed, terrified for the pup and still cooing at the sight of him.
"Yes, but he was always like this." View said quickly as not to enact any more yelling. "He's fine.
"I hope so." Ruby said.
Jaune then placed his elbow on a statue of a demon and continued to ponder.
"So he's gonna sing now..." Qrow said.
"I highly doubt Arc has the..." Weiss was about to say until...
"There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best for my talents are renowned far and wide" Jaune sang as he stood up straight.
"When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night I excel without ever even trying" Jaune sang with pride.
"Wow..." Ruby said, impressed by her friends singing ability.
"It's amazing." Pyrrha smiled, finding her partner's voice to be quite lovely.
"It...Truly is." Weiss said in shock, finding Jaune to be quite a very good singer.
The Skeleton then leapt onto a gravestone. "With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms I have seen grown men give out a shriek" Jaune sang as he moved to gravestone to gravestone.
He then landed in between two statues. "With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan I have swept the very bravest off their feet!" Jaune said with a fearful expression before it quickly turned into one of sadness.
"Yet year after year, it's the same routine and I grow so weary of the sound of screams" Jaune said sadly as he leaned against a statue.
"Tired?" Ren said quietly, concerned over his friends words.
"And I, Jaune, the Pumpkin King..." Jaune sang in a fearsome tone. "Have grown so tired of the same old thing" Jaune sang sadly as he walked off, Zwei watching in worry while Penny heard, sad for Jaune as well.
"He's tired of doing he's job." Ozpin said.
"But why?" Nora asked.
"I suppose when your too good at your job, you get a little sick of it." Ironwood said.
"He wants something more." Winter said.
A few of the students can understand where Jaune is coming from, feeling the same thing for a few of them.
Jaune then walked up to a steepy hill, singing his soul. "Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones, an emptiness began to grow..."
Penny moved a little closer as Jaune continued to sing.
"There's something out there, far from my home. A longing that I've never known" Jaune sang as he looked down at his pet.
"Oh Jaune..." Pyrrha said in sympathy.
"I can understand of him for wanting more." Weiss said.
"I'm the master of fright, and a demon of light and I'll scare you right out of your pants" Jaune sang as a bunch of souls suddenly popped out of a crop of pumpkins.
"To a guy in Mistral, I'm Mister Unlucky And I'm known throughout Atlas and Vale" Jaune as Penny got more and more closer as Zwei looked around, almost seeing her.
"And since I am dead, I can take off my head!" Jaune sang as he literally took off his own head and held it in his hand. "To recite Shakespearean quotations!"
"Well, that's a heads up!" Yang punned, earning a few groans but were more interested in the song.
"No animal nor man can scream like I can with the fury of my recitations!" Jaune as Zwei perked up at his master's enthusiasm, but it didn't work.
"But who here would ever understand that the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin would tire of his crown, if they only understood..." Jaune asked as Penny watched on in sympathy.
"I can understand Mr Arc...all too well" Ozpin said.
"He'd give it all up if he only could..." Jaune sang as he turned his direction towards Penny who gasped and hid again, worried that she had been seen.
"Oh, there's an empty place in my bones" Jaune sang as he walked down the hill as it unravelled down for him. "That calls out for something unknown the fame and praise come year after year Does nothing for these empty tears" Jaune sadly finished as he left the graveyard and entered through the dark forest.
Penny watched on as Jaune left and left sympathy for the skeleton. "Oh, Jaune, I know you feel." Penny said as she too began to leave the graveyard, but not before picking up a few items she stored there.
Once the screen stopped, View came back down to see the audience.
"Man, I felt really bad for Jaune" Ruby said.
"Me too." Nora said. "Even though I'd be thrilled to be the queen of Halloween..."
"It doesn't appear to make Jaune all that happy." Ren concluded.
"I just hope that Penny will make him feel better." Ruby said, knowing her friend was a bright ball of energy.
"Does he ever find what he's looking for?" Velvet asked, in the hopes that her crush would be happy again.
"He does eventually." View answered.
"And will we ever see it?" Ironwood asked.
"Soon, but for now, you'll have to ponder that on your own." View said sagely.
"Cliffhanging son of a..." Coco was about to say until Velvet stopped her.
"Hey, don't blame me. Blame the date."
"What?" Ilia said.
"Nothing." View quickly waved off as he floated again and went to find a new world. "The remaining worlds I'll show will return back to what you're used to...and maybe even not that."
The audience watched as he left, pondering on his words.
"Well, that's not ominous." Qrow remarked.
Thanks for reading this chapter of Worlds of Arc.
Nightmare before Christmas is one of my favourite holiday movies. I say holiday because I can never decide if it's for Halloween or Christmas, it really boggles me.
I know some of you were maybe expecting a scene from Michael Myers films, but I wasn't going for that and probably won't for a while.
I'm glad I did this chapter and I can confirm that will continue it a little further when Christmas comes along.
I was also going to make Pyrrha, Sally, but some of you are probably sick of it by now and I decided to make Penny Sally, making a bit more sense to me.
Anyway, I'll see you all in the next chapter to come, don't know when or don't know what, but I'll think of something. Thanks and see you around and Happy Halloween!
