"So how long will we be watching this viewing for?" Weiss asked as View was preparing to throw the orb at the screen.
"For the rest of the viewing, we will be watching the rest of the Nightmare world till the end." View said.
"That is great to hear." Penny smiled. "I really want to the rest of the story. As well as finding out what happens to my counterpart as well as possible friend Jaune's"
"I think we all do, Penny" Blake said in agreement.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Nora said with excitement.
"Yeah!" Ruby pumped her fist up. "Throw that orb in, View!" Ruby said.
"With pleasure" View said as he tossed the orb at the screen and it started to play.
"Those are some excitable students" Ironwood commented.
"You have no idea, James" Glynda said as she watched the screen as it booted up.
While all of this was happening Jaune was giving more jobs to the people of Halloween Town. He was now working with the town band. "It goes something like this…" Started Jaune as he held up a jingle bell belt before he tap them with his finger and rang the first line to 'Jingle Bells'. "How about it? Think you can manage?"
"A one and a two and a three and a," muttered the head in the bass.
"Man, that is just creepy" Yang commented on the head.
The band repeated the line, abet it sounded strange and maybe a little off key. The Mayor was happy as he cried "Next!"
"Well, at least they almost got the tune" Ruby said.
"If that's what you call it" Ilia said.
Jaune laughed as he placed the belt of bells around the tallest member of the band. "Fantastic! Now why don't you practice and we will be in great shape."
Jaune smiled seeing how everything was coming together. He heard that song and many others as Harry but now he got them together for the town band for everyone to hear and enjoy. He then turned to the next person in line and smile at seeing Penny. "Ah Penny, I need your help more than anyone's"
"Yes you do Jaune," Penny started as Jaune went through the chest to find what he needed Penny to do, "I had the most terrible vision."
"That's splendid." Jaune replied.
"It really isn't" Weiss said.
"Why would he think it good?" Penny asked.
"Because in their world, they see terrible as a good thing considering the nature of their town" Ren explained.
"Oh, that makes a whole lot more sense." Penny nodded.
"No, it was about your Christmas. There was smoke and fire and," Penny went on but Jaune laughed. "That's not my Christmas. My Christmas is filled with laughter and joy and…" Jaune pulled a picture frame out of the chest before he showed her "This!"
It was the picture of him in his suit and tie holding a pumpkin before he flipped a drawing of something over it. "My Sandy Claws outfit. I want you to make it."
It was a picture of Jaune wearing the red suit and holding a present, just like what Jaune had imagine a whiles back. Penny tried again, "Jaune listen to me, it is going to be a disaster."
"I see that Jaune is still dense, no matter the universe." Weiss sighed.
"I wouldn't say dense." Pyrrha defended. "Rather, focused on the wrong thing"
Jaune misunderstood what she meant, "How can it be? Just follow the pattern." He pointed to the picture, "This part is red, and the trim is white."
"He's not wrong" Coco said. "The outfit is mostly right"
"That's not that she meant, Coco" Velvet said to her leader.
"Oh, I know." Coco said. "I just like talking fashion advice."
"But it's a mistake."
"Now don't be modest." Jaune said still not getting she wasn't talking about her making the suit. "Who else is clever enough to make my Sandy Claws outfit?" He gave her the picture and helped her off the stage, "I have complete confidence in you."
"But it seems wrong to me, very wrong." Penny says softly as she walks off while Jaune went on to the next person, the zombie.
"It does seem that I have failed to convince Jaune" Penny frowned.
"It's alright, Penny" Ruby assured her robot friend. "I'm sure you'll convince him next time"
"This device is called (click click) a nutcracker." Jaune said to the zombie as he opens the closed the mouth for him to see.
"You can't miss them" yang said. "They're real creepy looking"
"You got a fear of nutcrackers?" Blake asked with a smirk.
"Pfft" Yang scoffed." Please, they have a fear of me"
Then the door open and the trio came in calling, "Jaune! Jaune! We caught him! He caught him!" they pointed to the bag in the walking bathtub which moved and showed something or someone was inside.
"Perfect!" cried Jaune as he gave the nutcracker to the zombie and went over to them. "Open it up quickly."
Roman opens the bag and out hopped…a rabbit.
"Huh, Santa looks a little different from when we last saw him" Nora said.
"Nora, it's not him" Ren sighed.
The rabbit was as big as a man and bright pink. He held a basket in his one paw filled with straw and many bright coloured eggs. He wore a yellow sash across his shoulder and chest that said, 'Happy Easter.' He hopped around sniffing.
Jaune was surprise before he said, "That's not Sandy Claws," with laughter in his tone.
"It isn't?" Cinder asked.
"Who is he?" Asked Mercury.
"Oh that's just Harvey" Qrow remarked.
"Who?" Tai asked.
"Nah, it's nothing..." Qrow mumbled, confusing his former teammate.
The bunny hopped over to the stage and sniff the zombie wondering what it was. The zombie then point and cried, "Bunny" and scare the bunny. The hopped right back over to the tub and into the bag where is shivered clearly frighten.
"Poor Bunny" Ruby said.
"He must be so confused right now" Pyrrha said.
"I know I would be" Sun said.
"Not Sandy Claws." Repeated Jaune in a much sterner tone. "Take him back."
"But we followed your instructions." Mercury said.
"We went through the door," Added Roman.
"Which door?" Jaune asked as he bent lower to them, "There's more than one. Sandy Claws is shaped through the door shaped like this." He reached into his inner pocket and pulled out a cookie shaped his a Christmas tree.
"Maybe he should've gotten a much better group to do this" Ghira said.
"What, you mean someone with more than three brain cells?" Qrow asked.
"A little harsh, Qrow" Ozpin said.
"Just speaking my mind Oz." Qrow said.
"I told you," Cried Cinder as she went and started to strangle Mercury knocking his mask off. Roman then hit Cinder and her mask was off. They started to fight and wrestle and Jaune was now annoyed. He shook he head before he hooked two fingers into his mouth and stretched it down, showing all his teeth before giving a roar.
"Damn!" Coco exclaimed in shock" Has he got a mouth on him!"
"Yeah" Ruby agreed, a little intimidated by Jaune's scary face. "You're not kidding"
"No she is not" Saphron said as she covered her son's eyes quickly, not wanting to make him see his uncle act scary in front of him.
The trio gasped in fear.
Jaune turned to the bag where the Easter Bunny was hiding, "I am very sorry for the inconvenience, sir." He looked at the trio as the tub followed them out of city hall, "Take him home first. And apologize again! Be careful with Sandy Claws when you fetch him. Treat him nicely."
"Aw, so Arc does care about bunnies!" Coco cooed teasingly, specifically towards Velvet, who was blushing.
"Coco!" Velvet cried out in shock.
"We got it!" they shouted back, "We'll get it right…next time." And with that they slammed the door behind them.
Back in Doctor Merlot's lab the mad doctor was testing the look of different size heads for a new project. All different shapes and sizes. One with a skinny jaw and chin, one with beast like mouth and fangs. As he made the machine holding the skulls turn to the next one he was muttering, "You will be a decided improvement over that treacherous Penny."
"Please?" Ruby scoffed. "You're just a mad jerk who can't understand how great she is!"
"Aw, thank you friend Ruby!" Penny smiled at her friend.
Behind him someone droned out, "Master…" Doctor Merlot turned to see a hunch figure limping towards the metal table carry a large blue print. His face was twisted, one large unblinking yellow eye the other smaller with a squished nose and large lips. "…the plans."
"Man, that gut must've been punched a lot to look like that" Yang remarked.
"Yang, that's not very nice" Ruby frowned at her older sister.
"Hey, it's not my fault he looks like that!" Yang said, throwing her hands up.
Doctor Merlot smirked, as the blue prints unrolled themselves showing a skeleton of the reindeer he was to make. He wheeled to the table as looked the over. "Excellent, Igor." He said before he showed a box of dog treats and threw one to Igor. Who caught it in his mouth and ate it happily.
Outside the town folks were working on their jobs to make Christmas. Near the clock tower which shows not the time but the mouths and how many days till the next Halloween. A sign was raised to cover Halloween that said Xmas. They only had 35 days left to get everything done.
"Well, it looks like preparations for Christmas is about to begin" Ozpin observed.
"Indeed." Winder said.
They were opening crates filled with supplies, some getting lights and many other things. Penny could be seen working on Jaune's Santa outfit wanting to make it perfect for him. As they work they started to sing.
"Oh whatever" Qrow groaned.
"What? No mocking commented this time?" Tai asked.
"I'll just sleep though this" Qrow said.
"Just enjoy the viewing as it is, Qrow" Ozpin said.

Some ghost were carry present that were made out of the well as they pass one of the band member push a wheel barrel full of pumpkins. The Mayor was the snowmobile like vehicle Jaune rode into town one a ram everyone was building a ramp, different town members adding pieces as he drove to the end.
"Well, that is productive" Tai said.

And won't the children be surprised
It's ours this time
"Y'know, it almost sounds sinister in some way" Nora said.
"Well, they don't really mean it!" Ruby said. "It's like they sang in the beginning. They're not mean."
"That may be, Ruby," Blake said. "But I doubt kids on Christmas will think like that."
Over at one table the kids were also helping. The corpse child was smashing a car with a hammer and the mummy had a doll in a small guillotine where he cut the head off.
"Still creepy" Nora said.
"Yeah." Sun said in agreement.
CHILD CORPSE

"Well, that much is true" Ren said.
"But not in the way they may think it is" Blake added.
"Nope" Coco said.
The whole group added on as the Mayor, who was standing on the ramp was push on top of his new ride as the kids were now driving it.
GROUP
Let's have a cheer from everyone
It's time to party
The vampires were finishing up their toy, a wooden duck on wheels with holes in it. They added red paint to the holes to show a 'vampire' had bitten it. The duck had sharp teeth in it bill and they painted the eyes, the duck moved it head so they can get the other eye, as they sang with the duck and wrapped it in a present.
"Man, I hate to be the kid to have that as a toy" Ruby said.
"I do not think they understand the concept of Christmas." Penny said.
"Or at least what they think it is" Pyrrha said. "They think children might like this stuff."
"I doubt anyone would want those Dread Duckies" Glynda said.
VAMPIRES

DUCK TOY

The duck now had a coffin like box over it with black ribbon around it complete with black bow.

"I hate the way that kid moves" Terra shivered slightly.
"It's alright, sweetie" Saphron assured her wife.
The next group was working on another present. The Wolf man and the devil were using a large saw and cutting their present while the corpse father was smacking a chain to the saw.
CORPSE FATHER
All together, that and this
CORPSE FATHER, WOLF MAN
With all our tricks we're
CORPSE FATHER, WOLF MAN, DEVIL
Making Christmastime
They continued this until they lifted the present. It was a large cat doll with a large flowing tail a large head with glassy eyes and a large grin with sharp teeth. The wolf man then notice someone coming.
"That's...something" Ren said.
"I think it's neat!" Nora said.
"Well its...creative." Kali tried to compliment. "It shows a lot of effort."
"In the wrong areas" Ilia muttered.
WOLF MAN
Here comes Jaune
Harry could not keep the grin off his face as he looked down as the town worked. All his dreams were coming and he would have his feeling inside filled. He headed down the stairs to go and help out. He wasn't going to let them have all the fun and he was going to help out when he needed to. Beside he had a few idea for presents of his own he needed to make. He transformed into Jaune as he left the house when he heard the Wolf man call out to him. He walked through the open gate and looked around.
Jaune
I don't believe what's happening to me
My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies
Hee, hee, hee, hee
"At least he's happy" Ruby said, trying to put a positive spin on this.
"I don't think Santa or the kids on Christmas will feel the same way, Ruby" Weiss said to her leader.
"I don't even know how he'll react to this" Pyrrha said, referring to the jolly man himself.
He let out an eerie laugh that sent chills down everyone spine. He noticed something to the side and he went over to see what was going on. One of the band members was being locked in a stockade by Harlequin.
HARLEQUIN
Won't they be impressed, I am a genius
See how I transformed this old rat
Into a most delightful hat
Indeed Harlequin used a hammer to form the hat before he placed it on the band members head and finished it off with one of the quills on his arm. Jaune then walked over and incepted the work.
"I don't really think wearing recently dead animals is a gold fashion statement" Coco said.
"Indeed." Ozpin said as he sipped his coffee.
Jaune
Hmm, my compliments from me to you
On this you're most intriguing hat
Consider though this substitute
A bat in place of this old rat
"Eh, could work." Coco said.
"Really?" Weiss said with a raised brow.
"Hey, just trying to give advice." Coco said, throwing her hands up.
Jaune grabbed a bat and with a flick of his wrist and some of his magic it became a hat with it wings sticking out to the sides. He then moved over to the Slime man who was shifting through presents. He held up a turtle that was road kill from the large tire mark on the shell. Jaune stopped him and grabbing the turtle, whose head fell off.
Huh! No, no, no, now that's all wrong
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead now for much too long
Try something fresher, something pleasant
Try again, don't give up
Jaune had placed his hand on the Slime man's head but got stuck before he had to pull it off.
"At least Jaune is trying to inspire them" Velvet said.
"He always does that with us" Nora said fondly. It didn't take much, with Nora, pancakes, Ren, peace and with Pyrrha...well that's obvious.
Over at one table the smallest Hyde smacked a scorpion with a mallet, stunning it, before he placed it in a wooden nesting doll. A different Hyde place the doll in a large counterpart while the real Hyde place the doll in the biggest one. All the while they were signing their line.
THREE MR. HYDES
All together, that and this
With all our tricks we're making Christmastime
"Well, that's effective" Blake commented.
"It truly is." Glynda agreed to.
As the day rolled by and both Christmas Town and Halloween Town were working on making their Christmas. In the factories of Christmas town the toys were getting checked and finishing touches were being added. One part of the factory was making gingerbread men. One elf was riding a bike with a big rolling pin under it with cookie cutters in it. He cut the cookies out of a large thing of dough on a large belt as they went into a giant over. Another elf opened a side door to and more wood to the fire inside.
"I always wondered how they made them" Sun said out loud"
"I always wanted to eat them all" Ruby said.
"And what happened afterwards?" Tai asked, knowing the answers.
Ruby grumbled at this. "I got a stomach ache. BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY BITE!"
In Halloween town, Doctor Merlot was finishing his experiment. On his signal Igor threw the lever and two arcs came to live. The electricity given flew through the table and into the skeletons of the three reindeer. They shook before they started to float into the air and move.
Doctor Merlot laughed at the success before he lean too far and fell onto the table. He however found the perfect skull for his other project. He picked up the dirty skull and started to clean it.
"What's he intending to do with that?" Kali asked.
"Maybe another project" Sun suggested.
"What, like Penny?" Velvet asked.
"Maybe." Blake said.
"I doubt he could get this one to listen to him" Ironwood said.
In Christmas town several elves were waxing and giving the sleigh a good clean up. A little away the reindeer were put through their paces for their big one in a few days. In the factory more work was being done as an elf push the head for the Jack-in-the-boxes down so they were ready when the kids open them.
"I used to hate it how Ruby played those tricks on me" Yang said.
"It was worth all the noogies I got afterwards" Ruby smiled, but not for long as she was instantly put in one by Yang.
"You mean like this one!?" Yang said as she tussled her hair.
"Yang no!" Ruby cried out as she tried to get out of it.
In Halloween town the Clown was placed the head for his own Jack-in-the-boxes. But these were of pumpkins and cats heads.
Little candy and treats were being poured into stockings in the factory. The corpse father was placing skulls and other presents into a large snake. Too bad his arm got caught and the snake started to eat him.
"Well that ssss-sucksfor him!" Yang joked, causing groans once more.
The large sack of present was being lifted before being put into the sleigh ready for Santa. Jaune himself was adding the final touches for his sleigh as a large coffin was lowered down and attached.
"Impressive work." Ironwood said. "Considering."
The whole town was finishing up. Gathering the presents and getting them to the large metal container attached to the back of the sleigh. All the while they went with their song like they have been for day to keep spirits up. They pass present down from the Wolf man to Mr. Hyde to the Harlequin to the corpse father to the monster under the stair, who was now on some stairs, to the corpse child who was at the top and he threw the present into the pile.
GROUP
This time, this time
Making Christmas, making Christmas
La, la, la
It's almost here
GROUP AND WOLF MAN
And we can't wait
GROUP AND HARLEOUIN
So ring the bells and celebrate
GROUP
'Cause when the full moon starts to climb
We'll all sing out
Jaune
It's Christmastime
Hee, hee, hee
Jaune felt overjoyed at all they have down. The skeleton reindeer floated by him jaw opened in their own skeleton grins. Everything was ready, and good thing too because the next night was Christmas Eve and the faithful sleigh ride.
"Man, those reindeer are really creepy" Nora said.
"Yeah, you're telling me" Coco said in agreement with the pink bomber.
While all of this was happening in Christmas Town a figure was sitting in a chair near the roaring fire going one final check of his list. He was very large with a snow white beard and wore all red with black gloves, boots and belt. "Kathleen, Bobby, Susie. Yes Susie's been nice. Nice, nice, naughty, nice, nice, nice. There are hardly any naughty children this year."
"Maybe a few." Weiss said, throwing a glance at Yang, who noticed.
"Hey! How am I naughty?" Yang asked.
"You dumped a bucket of water on my head!" Weiss reminded.
"That was Ruby's idea!" Yang said.
"Hey!" Ruby cried out.
"It didn't stop you and Blake from laughing" Weiss said.
Then the doorbell rang, in the medley of jingle bells. He stopped, "Now who could that be?" Santa asked before got up for the door.
He open the door and was shocked to see three small children dress very strangely, holding a large black bag. "Trick or treat." They cried.
"Huh?" Santa asked confused, 'What's this?'
But before he could ask his thoughts the children jumped up and all Santa saw was the inside of the black bag.
"This is not going to end well" Penny said in a worried tone.
"No, I don't think it will Penny" Winter said.
In Halloween town, Penny had finished Jaune's costume and was now adding the finishing touches as he tried it on. She was adding a white trim to one sleeve as Jaune looked himself over in the mirror. "You do not look like yourself Jaune, Not at all." Penny said.
Jaune grinned and moved a little as he was excited "Isn't that wonderful?" he asked. "It couldn't be more wonderful."
"I think it kinds suits him" Nora said. "Almost."
"Almost?" Ruby asked.
"If he wasn't a skeleton" Ren said.
"Ah" Ruby said in understanding.
"But you're the Pumpkin King," Penny exclaimed as she took the picture of Jaune wearing Santa's suit and flipped it over to show the true picture.
"Not anymore," Jaune replied cheerfully as he took the picture and snapped it over his knee. "I feel so much better now." He added as he tossed the pieces aside and held his arm out for Penny to finish.
Pyrrha sighed at this. "I want to be happy for him, but he doesn't realise that this is a grave mistake"
"He's too caught up in the majesty of it, Pyrrha" Ren said. "He's just to invested on doing this."
"Wanting something new will do that to you" Winter said.
Penny sighed, "Jaune I know you think something is missing but…" She never got to finish as she accidentally poke his finger with her sewing needle and Jaune jerk his hand back and placed his finger tip into his mouth. "Sorry," she added quickly not meaning to do that.
Jaune then realize something, "You're right. Something is missing," he turned back to the mirror "but what? I got the beard, the coat, the boots the-"
"Perhaps maybe skin would help" Penny suggested.
"It would be a little less intimidating" Kali said.
He stopped when someone cried his name and he notice something in the reflection of the mirror.
"Jaune! Jaune! We got him!" the trio had returned and held a big bag inside the walking bathtub. Everyone started to gather around before Jaune pushed his way forward. "This time we really bagged him!" Mercury said.
"Well, this isn't going to end well." Sun said.
"No it is not" Blake said in agreement.
Roman, who was sitting on top of the bag, said as he reach for the rope, "He sure is big Jaune."
"And heavy," Cinder added before they finally open the bag.
"Let me out!" Santa cried as he top half of his body stuck out of the bag. He had several candy corns and a lollie-pop sticking to his beard and his hat feel over his eyes. The citizens of Halloween town gasped at Santa's sudden appearance.
"Huh, never thought that they would be the ones in shock" Ruby said.
"That's because they've never seen someone so normal looking before, Ruby" Ren said.
"I suppose so." Weiss said.
Jaune bent down so he was more Santa's level, "Sandy Claws, in person." Jaune said excited. "What a pleasure to meet you." Jaune took one of Santa's hands and shook it briefly. It was then did Jaune notice as he look at the smaller hand in his own. "Why, you have hands. You don't have claws at all."
"At least he's polite enough too great him" Saphron said.
"Yes, because kidnappers are a lot informal these days" Weiss dryly remarked.
Santa pulled his hand back and finally fixed his hat and could finally see. His vision, which danced a little cleared into a strange and monstrous place. The crowd murmured as Santa looked around notice some of the people here held Christmas light, although orange, and different present and gifts. "Where am I?" he asked aloud.
He focuses on Jaune who waved his hands to everyone, "Surprise aren't you? I knew you would be. You don't need to have another worry about Christmas this year."
'What?' Santa thought. 'What did he mean by that?'
Before Santa could ask Jaune bent down and patted the large man's back, "Consider this a vacation Sandy, a reward. It's your turn to take it easy." Jaune picked a candy corn and flicked it away happy with how things were coming together.
"Aw, that's nice of him" Nora smiled.
"Nora, he's practically taking over his holiday" Ren said.
"But at least he's giving him time off" Nora said. "Gods know he needs it"
Ren sighed in response, pointless to continue on the conversation any further.
"But, but there must be some mistake!" Santa exclaimed.
"See that he's comfortable," Jaune said to Mercury, Cinder and Roman as they prepared to lose the bag around Santa again. But Jaune stopped them, "Just a second fellas." Jaune looked at Santa thinking before he smiled. "Of course! That's what I'm missing." And then Jaune took Santa's hat off his head and onto his own.
"But-but" Santa stammer still in disbelief, not hearing Jaune thanking him for his hat. "You can't just-" the rest of his protest stopped short as he was pulled into the bag and the trio tied it shut. As they started to leave Santa cried through the bag "Hold on! Where are we going now?"
Jaune watched them leave practicing his Sandy Claws laugh now he was in full costume. "Ho Ho Ho! No." but he just could not get it right to him.
"Maybe a bit more work on the laugh" Coco suggested.
"And a bit more work on his brain" Qrow remarked.
"Hey, that's my brother you're talking about" Saphron frowned.
"Who just kidnapped Santa and took over his holiday" Qrow reminded.
In the back Penny watched on, "This is worse than I thought, much worst." she said softly to herself as she places her face in her hands. Then she got an idea to stop this madness. "I know…" and with that she was off.
Santa was still recovering from his shock as the group exit through the gate to Halloween town, "Me, on vacation? On Christmas eve?"
The group stopped and planed what to do next. "Where are we taking him?" Roman asked.
"Where?" Cinder asked as well.
"To Oogie Boogie of course." Mercury explained as if it was the obsess choice. "There isn't anywhere in the whole world more comfortable than that. And Jaune said to make him comfortable. Didn't he?"
"Those little brats" Tai said.
"Seeing how we saw how that bug turned out, I don't think it's going to end well for him" Glynda said.
"Yes he did," Roman and Cinder agreed.
"Haven't you heard of peace on earth?" Santa exclaim through the bag. "And goodwill towards men?"
"NO!" all three shouted before the cackled loudly as they marched toward Oogie Boogie.
"Clearly not" Sun said.
"If only they did. They wouldn't be such little brats" Yang said.
"Indeed" Weiss said in agreement.
"I just hope they don't hurt him" Ruby said.
"Me to" Velvet agreed.
Meanwhile Penny was in her room back at what was once her home. She lifted a tile
On the floor and pulled a jug out of it. It read the label saying that it was fog juice. "This'll stop Jaune."
Penny then heard a saw buzzing and replaced the tile so she could leave without the Doctor Merlot knowing. She tiptoed pass the lab but not before she took a peek at what Doctor Merlot was doing. V was cutting into the skull of a figure wrapped fully in bandages. Once he was finished he open the skull not unlike his own head.
"Ew" Ruby and Weiss cringed in disgust.
"Well, that...is creepy" Sun said.
"It gets worse" View said.
"What a joy to think all we'll have in common." Doctor Merlot said before he open his own skull. The then reach out and pulled half of his brain out and placed in into the empty skull. "We'll have conversion worth having."
"That is just so wrong!" Yang exclaimed.
Velvet hid behind her ears, not wanting to see the brain.
Penny left just as Doctor Merlot finished and he kissed the brain. Unfortunately the cap closed right onto the doctor's lips.
At Oogie Boogie's house the trio was trying to push Santa down the pipe they send bugs down to their boss. They laughed as Santa said, "Don't do this. Naughty children never get any presents." His front of push into the tube and was stuck.
Mercury Cinder and Roman tried pushing Santa's bottom half in with a broom, a plunger and a devil pick fork. "He's too big." Cinder exclaim as they push much to Santa's discomfort.
"No he's not," Mercury said before he explained, "if he can go down a chimney, he can fit down here."
"What a bunch of jerks." Coco said.
"I can think of worse words for them" Qrow said.
The trio pushed once, twice and again once more from Santa gave way and fell through the tube. Even from outside you could see the huge bulge in the tube as the bolt connecting the piece popped out and barely stayed on.
Santa finally fell through the exit and landed on a table. He looked around as the room got darker. Luminescent paint and black lights then glowed giving details of different parts of the room. Making skeletons out of metal statues. The bats showed their skeletons and details of an evil runlet wheel where Santa's table was in the centre of.
"Man, that is one creepy hideout" Sun commented.
"Indeed, Mr Wukong" Ozpin said.
He heard the sound of dice rattled and through a door, which glowed showing dark looked dice deigns for edges and flame like doors, open up and a pair of dice flew out. It hit his chest and set on the table. Then a figure appeared over Santa.
He was big and bulky but his skin look like rough bags sown together. His limbs were simple lumpy point and even the top of his head was a crumpled point falling back. The only features notable were his eye and open mouth. His body looked an eerie green in his light and his eyes were blank holes
The audience was in shock to see the sight of this bag filled monster before them.
"What is that thing!?" Yang cried out in shock.
"This...is Oogie Boogie" View said.
Before music started and he began,
OOGIE BOOGIE
Well, well, well, what have we here?
Sandy Claws, huh?
Oh, I'm really scared
So you're the one everybody's talkin' about, Aha, ha, ha, ha
As Oogie Boogie opened his mouth in a dramatic fashion several bugs and worms were seen in the light. Santa stared bewildered before he turned away as several bug fell onto him, some crawled into his beard.
"Gross" Weiss cringed and shivered.
"Lest his song is catchy" Coco said.
"Really, Coco?" Velvet asked incredulously.
Oogie Boogie moved around Santa and he went on,
You're jokin', you're jokin'
I can't believe my eyes
You're jokin' me, you gotta be
This can't be the right guy
He lifted Santa by his beard to get a better look before he dropped the man down again.
He's ancient, he's ugly
I don't know which is worse
I might just split a seam now
If I don't die laughing first
As he laughed the top crumple 'point' moved forward and spilt open. A spider on silk string dropped down and wiggled around before it went back into the body. Oogie Boogie then spun the table Santa was on.
"Leave him alone" Nora said with a frown. "I'd crush that bag man easily!"
"Later Nora" Ren said as he continued to watch.
When Mr. Oogie Boogie says
There's trouble close at hand
You'd better pay attention now
Oogie Boogie stopped the table and pulled Santa up again poking his chest.
'Cause I'm the Boogie Man
And if you aren't shakin'
Then there's something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time now
That you hear the boogie song, ohhh
Oogie Boogie moved over to two skeletons in chains knocking them and causing them to copy Oogie Boogie
THREE SKELETONS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
He turned a wheel and a giant clamp came down onto two other skeletons.
TWO SKELETONS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
Oogie Boogie shook some chains causing the bats to fly around.
THREE BATS
Ohhh, he's the Oogie Boogie Man
"I'll say this. Guy maybe a jerk, but he sure can sing" Qrow said, gaining a few looks.
"Seriously" Tai said. "After all of you're complaining?"
"I can recognise talent when I see it" Qrow said.
"Hardly" Winter muttered.
"I still think Jaune's a better singer" Ruby pouted.
OOGIE BOOGIE
Well if I'm feelin' antsy
And there's nothin' much to do
I might just cook a special batch
Of snake and spider stew
And don't ya know the one thing
That would make it work so nice?
A roly-poly Sandy Claws to add a little spice
Oogie Boogie laughed at the look on Santa's face before more of the skeletons and bats around him cried out
THREE SKELETONS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Oh, yeah
THREE BATS
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ohhh
OOGIE BOOGIE AND THREE SKELETONS
Oh, yeah, I'm (he's) the Oogie Boogie Man
"This is not good" Penny said with a worried look.
"You got that right, Penny" Yang said.
SANTA
Release me now
Or you must face the dire consequences
The children are expecting me
So please, come to your senses
Santa did not see that off to the side three cowboy shaped slot machines, complete with hat and guns, were sliding towards him, their chest dials spinning. When Santa finished the dials stopped on triple spades and the arms point towards Santa and fired their guns.
"Oh no!" Ruby cried out.
"Santa no!" Nora yelled out in fright.
It was only when Oogie Boogie pulled Santa away to taunt him more did the shots miss.
The audience gave a sigh of relief at this.
"Oh thank goodness." Pyrrha said.
"What a cruel creature" Glynda said with her glare.
OOGIE BOOGIE
You're jokin', you're jokin'
I can't believe my ears
Would someone shut this fella up
I'm drownin' in my tears
It's funny, I'm laughing
You really are too much
And now, with your permission
I'm going to do my stuff
Santa was dropped on the ground during this verse and Oogie Boogie roamed over his, a snake peeking out hissing at him like a tongue every often.
SANTA
What are you going to do?
OOGIE BOOGIE
I'm gonna do the best I can
"Which isn't going to be good I imagine" Terra said.
"No it is not" View said.
The room flashed with more lights as Oogie Boogie stepped back tossing a pair of dice in his hand.
Oh, the sound of rollin' dice
To me is music in the air
'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man
Although I don't play fair
He tossed the dice which bounced off of a skeleton's head. Oogie Boogie then bounced them off his large bottom which hit Santa's face and landed on the floor.
"Oh and he gambles too" Yang said. "Any other bad guy acts he wants to sing?"
"I'm sure he'll sing it" Blake said.
"No wonder Jaune didn't want him to be involved." Ren said.
"No kidding" Tai said.
It's much more fun, I must confess
When lives are on the line
Not mine, of course, but yours, old boy
Now that'd be just fine
Oogie Boogie pulled a cord with a hook and attached it to Santa's binds.
SANTA
Release me fast or you will have to
Answer for this heinous act
Oogie Boogie moved and turned a wheel, which was attached to a large saw like gear with another skeleton bound to it, and Santa was lifted up into the air and around the room.
OOGIE BOOGIE
Oh, brother, you're something
You put me in a spin
You aren't comprehending
The position that you're in
Santa was being lowered with a spot light under him before Oogie Boogie stepped closer to him.
It's hopeless, you're finished
You haven't got a prayer
'Cause I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie
And you ain't going nowhere
In the light Oogie Boogie's once green body was now a dole and dark gray. The lights then returned to normal as Oogie Boogie laughed holding Santa by his binds.
Up above in their room Mercury Cinder and Roman heard their master's sing through the tube and they cackled loudly and out of control.
"This "Oogie Boogie" seems to derive pleasure from scaring others." Ozpin said as the screen paused.
"Man. I can't believe this is happening!" Nora exclaimed.
"I can't believe that Arc would just let this happen" Weiss said.
"To be fair, sister, Mr Arc does not clearly know that Santa is in the grasp of this Oogie Boogie" Winter said to her little sister.
"I just hope he finds out before it's too late" Ruby said.
"Me too" Pyrrha said in agreement.
"Well, let's keep watching to see what happens next." Yang said as they nodded in response and watch the events unfold.
Thanks for reading this chapter of Worlds of Arc.
You're probably wondering why I didn't make anyone from RWBY as Oogie Boogie. Honestly, I don't think anyone can match the pipes from his singing voice, plus I couldn't think of anyone who would fit his personality.
Well, next chapter will see the rest of the story where Jaune starts his first...and last Christmas. Thanks and see you around.
