Hey guys, ok, so, I recieved a review from a reader, GoulSoul38 and he asked if this should be taking place in December closer to Christmas, so I naturally I looked it up trying to see when this actually took place and he or she is right, it is closer to Christmas, basically a day before Christmas. So, yeah, I goofed again.
[Goof Counter: 3]
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I decided to implement a Goof counter where everytime I, the author, goof up on something it get's another goof counter. Here's how it works, whenever I make a silly mistake like I misnamed a character, I forgot a detail or something doesn't add up or is not the correct information and I don't catch it before I publish the chapter but you guys do, it get's another counter. And for every five goof ups made and whoever discovers the fifth goof up, I do an adventure in a world of their choice or add a character of their shoice, no if's, and's, or but's, within reason of course. I saw three goof ups when I went back and added three counters. However, the only thing that will count as a goof up is if I get some information wrong or forget to add something. And past goof ups will not count if they're pointed ot as it would take too long to look through to find any. Anyways, guess there's no going back now as the first part of this adventure is published and it would take too long to get there. Plus I have something else planned during the winter months in Equestria. Oh, and one more thing, there maybe a chance the third part might be a bit longer than I usually go, so if it takes longer than a week or so, don't worry as I'm working on it and will take some time to relax a bit between typing. Thanks for reading the story this far and hope you enjoy the next chapter.
Chapter 208: Revenge of Oogie Boogie Part 2: Battle for Halloween Town
Spyro and Saife were standing off against one another, the dark purple flames surrounding them, serving as a barrier that kept them from leaving or going anywhere, Saife holding the white hot flaming blades while Spyro was holding the Keyblade, both waiting for the other to make the first move. A moment later, Saife charged forward and swung her blades, only for Spyro to move out of the way, making her stumble a bit before he tripped her, making her land face first into the ground and grumble.
"Sloppy." Spyro said, Saife getting up and swinging her blades again and continued to swing, but he kept dodging, making her waste her energy while he reserved his. "You're holding back. I can sense your fear."
"I fear nothing!" Saife shouted.
She then dismissed one of her blades and conjured a ball of fire, thrusting it as a wave of fire went to him, but he didn't dodge, instead he took the hit, but the flames did nothing to him.
"Those flames were cold." Spyro said, raising his own hand. "Here, let me show you what real fire looks like!" A moment later, the red flames turned white and he released a whirlwind white hot flames, Saife gasping as she raised her hand and made a wall of earth, blocking the flames, but it ended up melting the stone and turn it into magma, Saife growling as she summoned a whip, but the flames were blue instead of white. "Why are you holding back? I can sense you have more power than you're using."
"How I use my power is none of your business!" Saife shouted. She then used her whip to try and hit him, but Spyro dodged the attack, making her hit the ground he was before, but a cluster of ice appeared, amazing him as he looked to Saife as she kept fighting, swinging her sword and her whip to hit him, but he kept dodging. "Hold still!"
"You hesitated when that Grimm was about to attack Fluttershy." Spyro said, grabbing the whip, though he felt it trying to freeze his arm, his arm warmed up thanks to his flames and ripped the whip out of her hand. "You could have easily dispatched that thing with one hit. Why hesitate?"
"I didn't want Fluttershy to get hurt!" Saife shouted, raising her arm as a massive meteor appeared int he sky, heading straight for him, but Spyro was unfazed by the incoming attack.
"Now we're getting somewhere." Spyro said.
He then snapped his fingers and a moment later, the clouds above moved in the sky and went into the meteor and as the meteor got closer, the burning rock started to loose it's power, the flames dying on the meteor before it then exploded into thousands of pieces, Saife charging again to try and attack, but Spyro just kept dodging, seeing how frustrated she was as she kept on attacking.
"You think it's easy having this much power!?" Saife asked, still trying to hit him. "The power of a literal goddess!? I can barely control this power, always fearing I might hurt someone that is close to me! So I try to distance myself, trying to find a secluded place where my powers can't hurt anybody!" As she was shouting, she started to loose steam while talking before her weapons disappeared, falling to her knees as she panted, her hand shaking as she looked to him. "I tried to control my power, but whenever I get worked up or angry, I can't control it. I can barely control my powers as is." She then started to break down, beginning to cry as Spyro walked over to her, kneeling down and putting his hand on her shoulder as she started to cry. "Cream was the only one I actually cared about, who actually tried to be friends with me. She was just so small and innocent, she would never hurt a fly. And when I saw Fluttershy and how kind she was, she reminded me of her, how frail and delicate Cream is."
"So you hesitated because Fluttershy reminded you of Cream?" Spyro asked.
"I didn't attack because I was afraid of harming her." Saife replied, looking to Fluttershy. "Just as sweet and innocent. So I had to hold back to avoid hurting her. You wouldn't know what it feels like."
"Actually, I do." Spyro said, making Saife looked at him. A moment later he got up and snapped his fingers again, the flames growing until they were in space, looking at a world that was desolate and barren, nothing but solid rock. "As the Prince of Light and Darkness, I hold more power than one person should ever have. This world was a version of Earth, but it became desolate and barren after the human race mined out all of the minerals, chopped down all the trees and destroyed the atmosphere. It got so bad that the humans all fled to the stars, leaving this world to it's ruin."
"And why are you showing me this?" Saife asked.
Spyro held up his hand and snapped his fingers again, the world then started to crack and pull itself apart as magma shot up before it exploded, shocking Saife.
"The Prince of Light and Darkness can destroy any world they want, erasing it from existence." Spyro said, watching as the chuncks were going everywhere. "But as I can destroy a world, I can also create and restore them." He then moved his hand and a moment later, tendrils of purple energy flew into the world's core, which it then started to glow and the chunks flew back to the core, the world restoring itself before tendrils of blue and green energy hit the surface of the world and immediately the oceans returned and the plant life came back, surprising Saife as they were now on the surface of the world, looking around as she saw animal life had returned. "So yes, I know what it's like holding more power than you could every imagine. I live with that power, the same as you do. The only difference is I learned how to control that power and live with it. I wasn't afraid to use my powers to their full extent. And I bet with time and practice, you won't be either."
"But what if I can't control it?" Saife asked. "I'm afraid that-"
"That's the first thing you need to work on." Spyro said, smiling at her. "You're afraid. Magic is connected to emotions and the more scared you are, the less control over your powers you have. Fear and doubt make you weak and unable to control your power. But when you believe in yourself, you can do anything." Saife looked at him with admiration, somehow feeling more calm and trusting towards him as he gave the warm smile. "Come on, we need to get back and catch up with the others. We still have a job to do."
A moment later, their projections of themselves disappeared from that world, leaving it to whatever fate had in store for it, but as they left, one little bunny was slowly walking forward, sniffing the air before a drop of water hit it in the head, the bunny looking up before it then stood on it's hind legs, looking around right as a fox approached, but instead of attacking, it also started to stand on it's hind legs, followed by other animals that saw them do it, one little dog looking at a stone and stick as it picked it up and created an axe from them. Meanwhile in Halloween town, the flames surrounding them died away and both Spyro and Saife had returned, Fluttershy looking relieved to see them as she walked over.
"Thank goodness you're both alright." Fluttershy said. "What happened in there? The flames made it hard to see either of you."
"We had a chat." Spyro said, looking down at Saife nd smiling before putting his hand on her shoulder, making her smile before they returned their attention to the shy pegasi. "Anyway, we better get back with the rest of the group. They're probably wondering what we're doing."
The three of them walked together, heading back towards the Hanging tree and when they got there, everyone had already found the Hanging Men and returned them to the Hanging Tree, who seemed to be very happy.
"There you three are." Weiss said. "We found the Hanging Men while you were all off playing around. What were you doing?"
"Oh, nothing much." Spyro said, nudging Saife a bit. "Just a little sparring, that's all."
"Oh, thank you all." The Hanging tree said. "I just felt naked without my Hanging Men."
"Guys, these things are popping up from the fallen Tombstones." Mandy said. "If we put them back together again, then it'll seal those things away."
"It'll seal the Skeletons and ghosts away, but not the Grimm." Ruby said. "But it should help take the edge off of us for a while. Think we can do it?"
"I hope so." Spyro said. "Those things will continue to be troublesome until we can seal them away."
"But that will take forever." Ruby said. "If we move in a group and restore them one by one, we'll be here all day."
"Ruby's got a point." Weiss said. "Maybe we should split up, restore all of the tombstones, and meet back up to find this friend of Jack's."
"Just be careful everyone." Spyro said. "Something tells me they won't be letting us raise those tombstones without a fight."
With that, everyone nodded their heads and split into several teams, Ruby and Weiss going in one direction, Mandy and Saife going in another while Spyro and Fluttershy went with Jack to pick up the tombstones, though with each team it wasn't easy as what Spyro predicted as the Skeletons popped out of the ground ready for a fight, but following them were some of the more skeletons, but they were massive and carrying large clubs. However, even with the massive skeletons, they were no match for everyone's combined combat skills, each of them taking out the skeletons that were blocking the tombstone before moving to lift the tombstones and stop the skeletons from coming back. After they managed to lift the last of the tombstones, they returned to Hanging tree, which he seemed pleased to see them.
"Ah, we;come back everyone." Hanging Tree said. "With all of you here, Halloween town will be back to it's old self in no time."
"I hope so." Spyro said. "Hey, have any of the Hanged Men seen Sally?"
"Actually, now that you mention it, one of my Hanged Men did say he heard a woman singing underground." The Hanging Tree replied.
"Under Ground?" Spyro asked. "What exactly is underground?"
A moment later, Jack got hit in the back by something and turned around, seeing it was a paper airplane that had golden sparkling lights follow it, everyone looking in the direction that the plane came from.
"Where did this paper airplane come from?" Jack asked, looking at it. "Wait, it's from Sally."
"The direction the sparkles are coming from is from the Underground Burial Chamber." Hanging tree replied. "It's the largest graveyard around. However, it's infested with spiders and cobwebs. How romantic."
"Not exactly what I'd call romantic." Weiss said. "But we can deal with a few spiders."
"You say that now, but those spiders are basically the size of large dogs." Spyro said. "Trust me, they're nasty."
"Over exaggerate much?" Mandy asked.
"No, he's right." Weiss said, eveyrone looking to her. "The Spiders here are actually that big."
"If Sally's there, we need to help her!" Spyro said.
"Then we better hurry." Jack said. "As romantic as it sounds, we need to hurry. Who knows what Oogie boogie's doing."
The group then started running towards the Burial Chamber, letting Jack lead the way to get to the chamber while dodging some of the traps that were set up in the graveyard, but as they were reaching the chamber, Lock popped out, holding his plunger and his mask.
"Not so fast!" Lock said, blocking the way. "You're not going to spoil our fun this time!"
"Seriously Lock?" Spyro asked. "We beat you and you come back for more punishment?"
"Oh, I'm not here for more punishment!" Lock said. "This time I'm going to stop you and this will be the very last time you get in our way!"
He then put his mask back on and more of the fence post barriers popped up, blokcing their exit as more Skeletons and Grimm appeared, Spyro calling his blade as everyone got their weapons ready.
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Jack will never win!
When you find our booby traps
They will do you in!
Lock sent the Skeletons in to attack them first, breaking the group apart to allow for them to avoid getting hit, but Spyro stayed close to Fluttershy to keep her safe and combined their strength to fight.
[Shock]
First we brought the Master back
To take this town away from Jack!
We knew he'd fight to set things right
So we got bad guys who attack!
Ruby then morphed her scythe into a rifle, blasting many of the boney baddies away, but more kept on coming in an endless tide while Weiss got her sword and swung it, releasing a wave of ice and freezing the Grimm to allow for Saife to use her magic to melt them and cook them.
[Barrel]
Ghosts and skeletons galore!
Brainwashed fighters wanting more!
They're rising up from every tomb,
To torment Jack and seal his doom!
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Put Jack to the test!
Keep him guessing all the time,
Never let him rest!
Mandy stretched her body out and reflect some projectiles back to some of the Grimm that sent them, going through the Grimm and destroying them, but more Grimm popped up and were ready to fight, charging towards them. As Spyro cut through another Grimm, Lock came down on his Plunger, hitting him in the head and knocking him down for a moment before he got back up, seeing Lock and swinging to hit him, but the little troublemaker got away as he jumped away.
[Barrel]
Then Mister Oogie Boogie man,
[Shock]
Can take the whole town over then!
[Lock]
He'll be so pleased, I do declare!
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
The whole world should beware!
Wheee!
Saife was the next one to get his, but she didn't go down as easy and summoned a whip, hitting the little guy and knocking him down to the ground, getting her blade ready, but he leapt back up and managed to avoid the attack, but Saife unleashed a storm of blue flames to try and freeze him, but he avoided the attack, seeing what could happen when some of the skeletons got froze and shattered.
[Lock]
With Mister Oogie as our the king,
We'll get away with everything!
No more scolding for our pranks!
The new King Oogie, let's give thanks!
[Barrel]
A trick a day, oh, why stop there?
We'll do whatever! We won't care!
And everyone will come to know
We run the show! Hey, life's unfair!
Lock then tried to hit Fluttershy, grinning as he came down, but Spyro got in the way, blocking the attack and saving her before grabbing Lock and throwing him into a skeleton, smashing into it before getting up and being a little menace again.
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
Hail to mister Oogie!
This is so much fun!
We make mischief day and night
Our work is never done!
[Shock]
Because Mister Oogie Boogie
Is the meanest guy around!
[Lock]
If I were on his Oogie list
I'd get out of town!
"Oh shut up already!" Spyro shouted.
He then raised hks hand and immediately the wind picked up and created a twister, sucking up all of the skeletons and sending them flying everywhere before pilling them on top of Lock, the group surrounding the pile of bones as Lock dug himself out of the pile and saw he was surrounded, getting pulled out and and slammed into the pile of bones as everyone glarred at him.
"You guys win this time, but next time, we'll get you." Lock said with his hand behind his back.
"There won't be a next time Lock." Jack said.
"Of course not Jack, whatever you say." Lock said.
"Are your fingers crossed again little man?" Spyro asked.
"Whatever do you mean?" Lock asked before getting picked up by the arm by Mandy, revealing his fingers were crossed.
"Little snot's fingers are crossed!" Mandy shouted.
"That's it!" Spyro shouted, grabbing Lock. "Kick the baby!"
He then dropped Lock and kicked him, making the trouble making imp go flying out of the graveyard screaming like Goofy as he flew out of the graveyard, everyone watching as he was going, going, and was gone, everyone looking to Spyro in surprise.
"Was that really necessary?" Ruby asked.
"Hey, the little imp had it coming." Spyro said. "He brought back Oogie Boogie and was being an absolute nuisance. Besides, we need to get to Sally before something terrible happens to her."
"He's right guys." Weiss said. "We need to get in there before a spider get's Sally."
"Did you have to remind me that there are spiders in there?" Spyro said. "I hate spiders."
"Well you're going to have to get over your fear." Ruby said, pushing him towards the temple. "We need to get in there now."
"Hey, stop pushing me!" Spyro shouted. "I can on my own you know!"
Everyone was watching as Spyro was being pushed by Ruby, lookign at one another and shrugging their shoulders as they followed after the two into the Burial Chamber, or at least into a hallway filled with coffins, which spooked Fluttershy as she hid behind Spyro.
"Is this the burial chamber?" Fluttershy asked.
"No, I think this is a hallway filled with coffins." Spyro said.
"It's known as the Hall of Coffins." Jack said. "Be careful. If Oogie Boogie's really in control of this place, who knows what he's done."
A moment later, the coffins started to shake and rattle before the lids opened and from out of the lids came a bunch of dog sized spiders, all hissing at them while making everyone back away.
"See, what did I tell you!?" Spyro shouted, clearly not happy. "Dog sized spider!"
"Ok, guess you weren't over exaggerating." Mandy said.
"Enough with the chit chat, let's get to smashing these Arachnids!" Spyro shouted.
The spiders then started charging to them and forced everyone to fight, causing them to smash the small spiders while Fluttershy tried to use her stare to make them stop, but they weren't affected by her stare and tried to bite her, but Spyro sliced through them and made them back off as he covered the blade in fire and forced them back, knowing that spiders hate fire as much as he hates spiders, giving them a clear route to the chamber where they opened the door and rushed in, slamming it closed and breathing a sigh of relief.
"Ok, those are really, really big spiders." Saife said. "They don't get that big on Mobius. At least, not to my knowledge."
"Jack?" Sally asked.
They all looked into the chamber and saw that Sally was standing there, looking surprised while Jack looked releieved.
"Sally!" Jack exclaimed.
They ran to each other and hugged one another, clearly happy to see one another while the others just stood there, smiling at the two love birds.
"Jack, i knew you'd come back." Sally said.
"Sally, I'm glad you're alright." Jack said. "Come on, let's get out of here before-"
Before anypne had a chance to say anything else, a long white silk thread shot out from the ceiling and wrapped around Sally, pulling her into the air as she screamed, everyone looking up as a massive Spider slammed into the ground, roarign at them while everyone's eyes were wide with shock, but Spyro was absolutely terrified, his pupils were the size of pin needles as soon as he saw that thing. He then clapped his hands and started dancing backwards as music started up, everyone looking at him as he danced backwards.
[Spyro]
Hell nah!
To the nah nah nah!
Hell nah!
To the nah, nah, nah!
Hell, to the nah, nah,
to the nah, nah!
Hell, hell, to the nah, nah,
HEELLLLLLL!
"Hey, get back here you!" Ruby exclaimed, pulling Spyro back to them and giving him a stern look. "Look, I know it's big and scary, but you can't just run away when something big and scary come out. You need to stand up to it and fight."
Spyro looked to everyone else, seeing that they were watching him to see what he would do next, so he took a deep breath and walked forward, standing with his friends as he glarred at the massive spider.
"You're right Ruby." Spyro said, calling his Keyblade as music started up. "I can't let this thing freak me out. Now is the time for me to fight!"
Everyone got their weapons out as the spider hissed, raising it's leg and thrusting it towards them and making them dodge and then run towards the spider to fight it.
[Sally]
We should have known not to believe,
And things would not have turned so bad.
[Jack]
It's true his plan was to deceive,
But that should not make you so sad!
Jack then whipped it in the rear and it hissed, shadows surrounded it as it then spewed out more little spiders, making Spyro's skin crawl, but he leapt over and unleashed a volley of flaming arrows, hitting many as they came around to attack them while everyone else engaged what they could.
[Sally]
But danger waits at every turn.
[Jack]
And I am ready,
To set things right here!
[Spyro]
And we will be there,
to help him end this madness,
and restore this world to what it was before.
Saife and Spyro then leapt up and Spyro raised his right arm while Saife raised her left arm, both summoning a flaming tornado that went and shot out multiple smaller tornadoes that hit the remaining small spiders, giving the others an opening to hit the spider and put it on the defensive.
[Sally]
How can you say that you will be okay?
And come back another day?
"Don't worry Sally, we're here now." Jack said, wrapping his little slime weapon around the spiders leg to hold it back. "We'll fix this."
[Sally]
What will become of our dear town,
Now that we've let our leader down?
[Jack]
You know, dear Sally, that's not true,
We can take this town back, me and you!
[Fluttershy]
And we'll be there to help you bring this meanie down,
to help you free your town!
She, Ruby and Weiss grouped together and the shy pegasi pointed her blade to the spider while Ruby and Weiss pointed their weapons at the spider, a gust of wind being sent towards the spider while Weiss and Ruby fired their fire dust attacks at the spider, hitting it and making it screech as it retreated and more Spiders appeared to attack them.
[Sally]
There's so much danger yet to face!
[Jack]
But I'm not worried, back home I hurried!
[Sally]
You surely will!
Now we all count on you,
To see this trouble through!
"Don't worry Sally, we'll save you!" Jack shouted, sending his weapon out to attack as Mandy send her fists at the massive spider, her fist getting bigger as it hit the spider and made it wobble backwards, shaking it's head and screeched as more Spiders appeared and it disappeared into the darkness.
[Sally]
We should have known not to believe,
And things would not have turned so bad.
[Spyro]
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!
[Spyro]
And we will be there,
to help him end this madness,
and restore this world to what it was before.
Spyro and Jack then stood back to back, the Keyblade bearer raising his blade to unleash a powerful force of light that negated the shadows, revealing the massive Spider as it charged towards them, but they both leapt away and avoided the attack, rolling to a stop as they both looked to the spider.
[Sally]
How can you say that you will be okay,
And come back another day?
"Don't loose hope Sally!" Spyro shouted, calling a second Keyblade and combining them to summon a massive sword of light, bringing it downt o try and destroy the Spider, but ti dodged the attack, infuriating him as he dismissed the second blade.
[Sally]
What will become of our dear town,
Now that we've let our leader down?
[Jack]
You know, dear Sally, that's not true,
We can take this town back, me and you!
[Ruby, Weiss, Mandy]
And we'll bere there as well,
to to help free all from orders that Oogie does compell!
Weiss then raised her blade up as water and wind combined into ice, sending it to the ground to freeze the ground while Ruby fired in all directions to force the spider out, making it flee and then slip on the ice while Mandy expanded her fists and began pummeling it Jo-jo style, doing major damage as cracks appeared in it's armor.
[Sally]
There's so much danger yet to face.
[Jack]
But I'm not worried, back home I hurried!
And together we'll take this town back me and you!
The spider then tried to get up, but it kept slipping, making it impossible for it to try and move, which gave them an opening as more cracks appeared.
"Everyone, together now!" Jack shouted. "It's armor is weakened. Let's finish this!"
"No arguments here!" Spyro said, calling his wings as they appeared translucent, going to the window and making the color o the light come out as multi colored as each beam hit them like spot lights while also providing a power boost and surrounding his friends in a purple aura, making them stronger.
[Sally]
What will become of our dear town,
Now that we've let our leader down?
[Jack]
You know, dear Sally, that's not true,
We can take this town back, me and you!
[Fluttershy, Mandy, Ruby, Weiss, Spyro]
And we will be there,
to help him end this madness,
and restore this world to what it was before.
Spyro then put more power into his lights, fueling them with his powers as they each struck the carapace of the spider, leaving brightly colored gashmarks on the massive spider as it screeched in pain, trying to flee, but Spyro flew back up and used his wings to spread the light, making it impossible to disappear into the darkness.
[Sally]
There's so much danger yet to face!
But I'm not worried, back home I hurried!
Jack then had the same white aura around him, which Spyro flew down and flew around Jack, combining his aura with Jack's as a massive pumpkin head appeared, laughing as the spider backed away to put distance between it and the head, but everyone gathered around, dancing to the beat as more colored auras, red, pink, violet, light blue and grey came together, making the pumpkin's eyes turn into a rainbow as it laughed.
[Everyone]
If we work hard,
We'll overcome our shame,
And beat him at his game!
The pumpkin head then opened it's mouth and from it, multi-colored energy in the form of musical note shot out before the head went straight for it, chomping down on the beast as it screeched and was disintegrated, leaving nothing but ash as the music ended.
"And good riddance!" Spyro exclaimed.
"Hold on Sally!" Jack shouted.
A moment later, a light came fro the ceiling as Sally fell, Jack catching her in time as the light came down and turned into another holiday door, this time it was in the shape of a heart, confusing them all.
"A door in the shape of a heart?" Fluttershy asked.
"It must be the Valentine's day holiday door." Spyro said. "But why would Oogie want it in the first place?"
"Sally, are you ok?" Jack asked.
"I'm fine Jack." Sally replied. "But you need to save Dr. Finkelstein. Oogie Boogie did something to his brain and now he's making all the monsters for Oogie Boogie."
"His brain?" Mandy asked.
"Dr. Finkelsteins head can pop open and allow him to scratch his brain." Spyro said, looking over and seeing the grossed out expressions they had. "Believe me, it's gross, but if Oogie Boogie did something to his head, then it would explain why he's helping him. Finkelstein is a friend of mine and Jacks, he would never agree to this unless something happened to his head."
"But how do we get to him?" Ruby asked.
"His manor is locked up, but I have a spare key." Sally said, giving Jack the key. "Use it to get into his manor."
"Thanks Sally." Jack said, taking the key. "And don't worry, you're safe now."
"We're all safe now that we have our Pumpkin king again." Sally said.
"Pumpkin king?" Jack asked, an idea hitting him. "That's it, my Pumpkin fire!"
"Your what?" Spyro asked.
"My pumpkin fire." Jack replied. "It's a special power that let's me take on one of three forms that each do special attacks. My flamethrower attack and my fire bomb attack. I cane use it to fight Oogie and his minions."
"You sure you can handle it?" Spyro asked.
"Of course I can." Jack replied. "Now we need to get to Dr. Finkelsteins lab and save the good doctor."
"We're right behind you Jack!" Spyro said.
"Yeah, all the way!" Ruby said.
Jack smiled and the ground then ran back to the town, heading straight for the doctors lab to confront him. Meanwhile in Oogie Boogie's lair, the gambler was watchign them, watching as they started to head to the town while maleficent and Salem were watching, not to pleased with what they were seeing as they looked to Oogie Boogie.
"It seems your minions are having difficulty beating this Pumpkin king and his friends." Salem said. "Perhaps you're not up to the challange."
"Oh, give me a chance doll face!" Oogie Boogie said. "Besides, we're getting to the good part! There's no way they can beat the doctor without his brain. Their demise is certain."
"Do not underestimate the prince Oogie." Maleficent said. "He's far stronger than he was when you first faced him. Back then he was just stage one, but now in his stage three form, you'll be in for a fight like none other."
"Oh you both worry too much." Oogie Boogie said, looking back in the water. "Oh look, they're entering the manors yard now!"
They all looked back into the water, seeing that they were entering the yard of the manor, which the scene then shifts to them walking along the grounds towards the manor.
"I hope we can help the good doctor." Jack said. "He's been a dear friend to me my entire life."
"Don't worry Jack, we'll help him." Spyro said.
They walked along the path until they reached an eletric fence, eletricity going through the gate and blocking their way, preventing them from getting through.
"Well, this is a problem." Weiss said. "Now what?"
"Stand back." Spyro said.
He walked forward and reached his hand out, feelign the cables and through the force he followed them all the way to the switch, smiling as he clenched his fist like he was grabbing the lever and pulled down, the level being pulled and shutting the eletric fence down, amazing Weiss and Ruby.
"How did you do that?" Ruby asked.
"One can accomplish anything through the force." Spyro replied. He then lookd ahead and saw someone in a ruined and patched up lab coat, blocking their way. "Igor? What are you doing out here?"
"Sorry, but Igor under strict order." Igor replied. "But master says not to let anyone through."
"But we're here to rescue him from Oogie Boogie!" Jack replied.
"Sorry, but master said that if Igor let anyone pass, Igor won't get biscuit!" Igot replied, his tomach starting to growl. "Oh, Igor starving!"
"Oh, you poor thing." Fluttershy said, thinking of something. "Spyro, you still got those old cookies with you?"
"Of course I do." Spyro replied, pulling out some biscuits. "Here Igor, eat up bud."
"Oh, thanks!" Igor said, looking at them. "Mm, they look tasty!"
"Hey Jack!" Someone shouted, looking behind to see it was Shock. "Too busy to play?"
"Shock!" Spyro shouted, calling his blade. "Oh, you're in big trouble little lady!"
"Then come and get me!" Shock exclaimed back, spitting at him and running.
"Oh, you're going to get it now!" Spyro shouted.
"Spyro wait!" Jack said, running after him.
Spyro and Jack then returned to the town square, looking around for Shock when the barrier appeared, Saife ramming into it while Spyro and jack looked back, seeing they were trapped as they looked to Shock, which some ghosts appeared, ready to fight.
"I think you'll both find I'm not as forgiving as Lock." Shock said.
"Eh, I let you off easy." Lock said.
"Shut up you!" Barrel said, hititng him.
"Alright boys, get them!" Shock shouted as the music picked up again.
"Not again." Spyro said.
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Laa, la, la, la, la, laa!
La, la, la, la, laa!
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Jack will never win!
When you find our booby traps
They will do you in!
The ghosts then charged them both, both Jack and Spyro splitting up to draw as many ghosts to them as possible to them, Spyro unleashing a whirlwing of light that seemed to disintegrate most of his before more popped out while Jack was slamming the ghosts that followed him into the ground before throwing them into more ghosts.
[Shock]
First we brought the Master back
To take this town away from Jack!
We knew he'd fight to set things right
So we got bad guys who attack!
Spyro used his Force abilities to eletrocute the ghosts, lifting them into the air and slamming them into the ground and into walls, doing some damage as he got his blade out and slashed another, jumping over and force slamming into the ground to send them away.
[Barrel]
Ghosts and skeletons galore!
Brainwashed fighters wanting more!
They're rising up from every tomb,
To torment Jack and seal his doom!
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
Hail to Mister Oogie!
Put Jack to the test!
Keep him guessing all the time,
Never let him rest!
Jack then changed his form, turning into a burning version of his normal form and breathing fire, doing damage to all of the ghosts near him and forcing them to retreat, changing back to rush to Spyro's side.
[Barrel]
Then Mister Oogie Boogie man,
[Shock]
Can take the whole town over then!
[Lock]
He'll be so pleased, I do declare!
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
The whole world should beware!
Wheee!
Jack and Spyro were back to back, doing what they could, but the ghosts kept coming, forcing them into a corner as they got surrounded by the ghosts.
[Lock]
With Mister Oogie as our the king,
We'll get away with everything!
No more scolding for our pranks!
The new King Oogie, let's give thanks!
[Barrel]
A trick a day, oh, why stop there?
We'll do whatever! We won't care!
And everyone will come to know
We run the show! Hey, life's unfair!
Jack then looked to Spyro, who looked to him and both nodded, locking arms as they both leapt into the air, dark flames surrounding them both as they spun around and released a flurry of fire and shadows, causing the ghosts to try and block the attack, but they all got hit, getting set on fire as they all started to burn while Lock, Shock, and barrel continued singing.
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
Hail to mister Oogie!
This is so much fun!
We make mischief day and night
Our work is never done!
[Shock]
Because Mister Oogie Boogie
Is the meanest guy around!
[Lock]
If I were on his Oogie list
I'd get out of town!
[Barrel]
He'll be so pleased by our success!
[Shock]
That he'll reward us too, I bet!
[Lock]
I wonder what it's going to be!
[Lock, Shock, Barrel]
We cannot wait to see!
Wheee!
"Oh for the love of, shut up!" Spyro shouted, all three looking up as the fireball slammed into the ground, sending them flying as both Spyro and jack came out of the flames, Lock and Barrel running.
"Hey, where you going!?" Shock asked, looking to Jack and Spyro as they walked towards her. "Oh boy, time to scram!"
She then fled as the barriers disappeared, running away as Spyro wanted to chase them, but Jack grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Spyro, I know you want to go after them, but leave them be." Jack said. "We'll deal with them later. Right now we need to help Dr. Finkelstein."
"You're right." Spyro said, calming down. "You're right. We had better get back before-"
A moment later, they heard an explosion, both Jack and Spyro lookign back to the manor and ran, heading to the manor where they saw Igor cowering while Mandy was on the ground, looking a little burnt, but alright as she got out of the place she got hit.
"What happened!?" Jack asked.
They both running up when another bolt of eletricity came down and nearly hit them, making them both jump back and look up to see a lightning rod on the top of the manor.
"I'm only guessing right now, but I think Finkelstein went and turned his manor into a freaking Tesla Coil." Spyro said.
"But where is it getting it's power?" Jack asked.
"From big generator behind nearby door." Igor replied, pointing to a generator nearby. "You smash it with something to make lightning stop."
"By the size of the generator, I don't think it'll stay down for long." Spyro said.
"Couldn't you just use your Force powers and smash it or something?" Weiss asked.
"I could, but that thing is shaking and it's pretty big." Spyro replied. "Combined, it'll be difficult to lift and smash. No, we'll need to go in and smash it ourselves. You girls stay here. When you see a red flare in the sky, run inside and clear the way. Jack and I will go smash this thing."
They approached the door, but it was boarded shut, so Suyro got his blade out to smash it, but Jack beat him to it, using his Pumpkin fire to burn the wood before looking to Spyro, who seemed to not be amused by what he did as he turned back to normal and they both went in. As they entered the area, they found the generator, which it was shaking and moving around a lot and in front of it was what looked like a maze, both Spyro and Jack looking down as they looked back to the generator.
"Going through this maze will take too long." Spyro said. "And I doubt that Finkelstein will just let me fly over it to smash the thing."
"If only we could get one of those rocks to the generator, we could use it to damage the machine." Jack said, pointing to one of the rocks.
"Wait, rocks?" Spyro asked, looking down at the massive boulders as an idea sprung in his head. "I got it! Jack, get back to the others and tell them to get ready. I'll throw the boulder and hit the generator from here. It should give us enough time to get to the manor."
"Right." Jack replied.
He then went back to let everyone else know what he was going to do as Spyro hopped down and grabbed one of the boulders, jumping back to the ledge and turning around quickly as he threw the massive boulder, hitting the generator and disabling it.
"Bullseye!" Spyro said.
"Spyro, help!" Fluttershy shouted.
He immediatly turned around as soon as he heard Fluttershy scream, running back and as he entered the room, he saw that they were being attacked by some of the toys that Jack and the denizens of Halloween Town made for Christmas last year after Jack took over, shocked to see that they were attacking his friends.
"Jack what the heck!?" Spyro shouted, grabbing one of the toys and crushing it. "I thought you got rid of these things!"
"I did!" Jack replied, using his slime weapon to snag one and smash it into another deadly toy. "Finkelstein must have made more under Oogie's orders!"
"Look, the manor!" Mandy shouted.
Everyone looked back and saw that it was starting to recharge again, meanign they were running out of time.
"Everyone, get to the manor, I'll keep them busy!" Spyro shouted.
"Are you serious!?" Weiss shouted, dodging an attack. "On your own!?"
"I'm not alone." Spyro said as Aragami popped out behind him, holding the scythe as she glarred at the toys. "Get going!"
He then charged in and both he and the shadowy spirit engaged the toys, getting their full attention while the others watched him and Aragami fight together, but then looked back to the rod, knowing they were wasting time, so they ran to the manor, avoiding more of the toys as they came up to try and block them, but they ducked underneath them and dove through the door right as the lightning struck the ground, looking out and fearing for Spyro's safety.
"Is he going to be ok?" Weiss asked.
"Spyro's tough, he'll be fine." Ruby said, looking out the door. "I hope."
However, as she said it, they saw Spyro coming up the ramp, surrpised to see he had his Lightsaber active and was blocking the lightning, struggling to get up the steps and itno the manor, but he did manage to make it, walking in and collapsing out of exhaustion as he looked up to everyone.
"Next time I'm fighting a bunch of killer toys, I'm just going to use the lightning to destroy them all." Spyro said.
"Hey, at least you made it." Mandy said, helping him up.
"Jack, I was wondering when you'd get here." Shock said, everyone looking up to see her.
"Are you freaking kidding me!?" Spyro shouted. "Shock!? Didn't I deal with you already!?"
"Oh, you may have beaten my little minions, but that was only round one." Shock replied. "And it was so much fun that I want to continue the fun. Trust me, you'll have a real ball with it!" A moment later, there was a contraption that released a massive ball and it rolled down the ramp, Shock smiling as she watched it roll while putting her mask back on. "I don't want to crush everyone's spirits too quickly. Just your bodies!"
"I swear, if they start singing again, I'm going to loose it!" Spyro shouted.
"We need to get to the top of this ramp." Jack said. "Dr. Finkelsteins lab is at the top of the ramp."
"And so is Shock." Weiss said. "Spyro, can you smash those giant balls when they get too close?"
"Believe me, it's be a pleasure." Spyro replied.
They all then started to go up the ramp, the balls rolling towards them, but Spyro always knocked the giant ball out of the way as they ran up the ramp, getting closer, so Shock decided to double the amount of balls to try and overwhelm him, but Spyro just Force push them back up the ramp, getting into the contraption and clogging it while shocking Shock, looking back to see they had arrived, so she tied a white flag to her broom and waved it.
"I'm sorry you guys." Shock said. "I was only playing a trick."
"Yeah, one to crush us." Spyro said, rolling up his sleeves.
"Spyro, now's not the time." Jack said, walking ahead. "Listen Shock, stop helping Oogie! I mean it!"
"Ok." Shock said, holding a hand behind her back.
"She's crossing her fingers too!" Spyro said, surprising her. "Oh, I'm going to-"
"Spyro!" Fluttershy exclaimed, calming him down.
"Sorry." Spyro said.
They all then walked past Shock and got into the elevator and went up to where the doctor was, arriving at the top to see Dr. Finkelstein sitting in some kind of machine, his back to them as they aproached.
"Dr. Finkelstein, what's going on?" Jack asked. "Why are you doing this?"
"Ah, Jack, you and your friends managed to make it." Finkelstein said, turning to them. "You've all been busy. Maybe you should rest for a while."
He then opened the lid of his head and scratched his brain, revealing it was green instead of pink with eyeballs, grossing the girls out.
"Ok, that's disgusting!" Weiss exclaimed.
"But now we know that Finkelstein isn't of his own mind." Spyro said, everyone but Jack giving him a disapproving look. "Right, bad joke. But that is not the doctors brain. Oogie did switch it."
"I think it's time we begin." Finkelstein said as music started to play. "I think you'll like my new invention. I made it especially for all of you!"
His machine then came to life as arms came down from the ceiling, the claws spinning before going back to the ceiling.
"What now?" Ruby asked as she got her scythe out.
"We need to switch the doctors brain back with his real one." Spyro said, looking over and seeing it was nearby in the tray.
"But how?" Weiss asked, not liking having to do that.
'We need to sneak up behind him and open his head." Jack said. "That will give us a chance to switch the fake brain for the real one."
"If we can even get to him." Mandy said.
"That's why we've got a friend in the shadows to help us." Spyro said, looking to his own shadow as Aragami appeared, jumping into another shadow to remain hidden. "Alright everyone, we can do this. Just stick to the plan and we'll come out of this ontop and with Dr. Finkelstein back on our side."
Everyone got ready to fight as the music picked up, Spyro holding his blade up as the doctor pulled a lever and yanked it down, making four small arms come out and start firing at them, forcing them to spread out to avoid the fire.
[Dr. Finklestein]
This town has changed my boy,
since you've been away.
Without a Pumpkin King,
it's Oogie Boogie's Way.
[Jack Skellington]
Doctor, please!
Oh, can't you see you're wrong?
Jack then used the slime thing to yank open Dr. Finkelsteins head open, giving them a clear opening as Spyro scooped up half of the brain and tossed it to Jack, who grabbed it and threw it, but the Doctor closed his head, delfecting the brain as he pulld another lever.
[Dr. Finklestein]
You were the king,
but now you're nothing but prey.
Oogie Boogie is back and he's planning to stay.
More arms came down, this time it it was the larger arms, spinning their blades around and nearly hitting Fluttershy, but Spyro got in the way and grabbed the arm, keeping it from hurting her as he looked to the doctor.
[Spyro]
It's a crazy web you're weaving,
Oogie Boogie will soon be leaving!
Doctor, please! It's not too late.
A moment later, Aragami reappeared, this time she pinned the doctor down and opened his head, giving them a chance to get his brain back in his head as Weiss, though reluctant, scooped it up and threw it to Jack, avoiding the blades as Jack threw the brian and it hit the doctor in the head, sending one half of the green brain away, but the other half was still in the head, the Doctor throwing Aragami off before reactivating the guns on his device and fired on her, though the bullets passed through, she hopped into the shadows to hide and wait for another opportunity.
[Dr. Finklestein]
All my machines will seal your fate.
My lasers will slice you,
my knives will cut deep.
And when it's all over Sally, she will weep.
He then pulled the next lever and both the blades and the cannons came out and fired on everyone, sending them everywhere to avoid the bullets while also avoiding the blades, just missing them as they continued to avoid the attack.
Days of your good-natured mayhem are through.
I'll tear up this town!
And I'm starting with you!
He then pulled anothe rlever and another Tesla coil, though smaller, started firing eletricity at them, making everyone duck for cover to avoid being hit while Spyro blocked the attack, being pushed back before the lightning stopped, Finkelstein laughing as everyone got up.
"Hang on Doctor, we'll save you!" Jack shouted, throwing his weapon to grab his head, but the Doctor used an arm to block it and growl at him.
"Never!" Finkelstein shouted back
[Finkelstein]
Well now my boy,
it seems you lost your crown.
In a few mere moments you be six feet in the ground!
[Fluttershy]
Stop at once!
Can't you see this is absurd?!
[Dr Finklestein]
No more tricks,
your friends are now your foes,
and now this dance is nearing its close.
He then brought the arms back down and spun them around as the blades spun, making everyone jump for cover to avoid being hit.
[Jack Skellington]
All these people that you're hurting,
oh good doctor its disconcerting.
Doctor please!
Your thinking is all wrong!
[Dr Finklestein]
In a moment,
finally you'll all be gone!
He then pulled all the levers and brought all the arms and the coil down, everything attacking them and making it near impossible for them to get to the doctor as Aragami tried, but he saw her and flipped another switch and lit up the entire room with light, making her screech as she fell to the ground, so Spyro leap to her and used his shadow to get her to safety as he got the other half of the brain.
[Jack Skellington]
Your intention are evil,
[Fluttershy]
your thoughts are all bad,
[Spyro]
the thing that you work for is no more than a cad.
Spyro then unleashed his darkness and tendrils of dark energy shot out, hitting the lights to disable them and allow for Aragami to come back out.
[Jack Skellington]
When finally we get that foul brain out of you,
you see no more foe,
but a friend that is true!
Spyro tried to get through as Aragami went straight for the doctor, but the doctor smiled as he had another light, shining it on himself and making a barrier that Aragami couldn't pass through while Spyro leapt backwards to avoid the blades.
"Jack, I can't get through!" Spyro shouted. "We need to stun the doctor to get the other half of his brain in his head!"
"Say no more!" Jack shouted as a white aura appeared around him. "Everyone, together now!"
They all nodded and went over to jack as the arms raised up, Finkelstein looking to them as they got ready for the final fight as they all started dancing.
[Jack Skellington]
All this people that you hurting,
oh good doctor its disconcerting!
Doctor please!
Your thinking is all wrong!
[Dr Finklestein]
In a moment,
finally you'll all be gone.
He then pulled a leaver to attack, which an arm did come down, but both Ruby and Weiss leapt up and rotated her cylinder, both releasing a bunch of water that shorted out the terminal and made the Doctor flinch and stop.
[Jack Skellington]
You shoot and attack me,
it rolls off my back.
I'm not your enemy, I'm the Pumpkin King, Jack.
When this is all over good friends we will be,
you'll praise Oogie no more,
you can take that from me!
Everyone's aura went into Jack and he released it, sending out multiple musical notes that hit the doctor and knocked the other green half of the fake brain, Spyro throwing the real half into the head and making the doctor yell in pain as the other half of the green brain exploded, leaving nothing behind. As the green brain was destroyed, another light came down and floated in front of them, this time it was the St. Patrick's day door that was before them as Spyro took it, Finkelstein groaning as he looked up.
"Oh, my head." Finkelstein said, seeing Jack and Spyro. "Jack? Spyro?"
"Hey doc." Spyro said as Finkelstein wheeled over to them. "How you feeling?"
"Like someone replaced my brain and turned me into an evil monster." Finkelstein said, thinking about it for a moment. "Actually, now that I think about it, that's pretty normal here. Anyway, I'm sorry for Trying to kill you all. I didn't think Oogie Boogie would replace my brain and deceive the town."
"It's alright doc." Spyro said. "But why does Oogie Boogie want the holiday doors?"
"The holiday doors?" Finkelstein asked, looking at the St. Patrick's day door and gasped. "Oh no, jack, what day is it!?"
"Uh, it's... December twenty-fourth!" Jack replied.
"December twenty-fourth?" Fluttershy asked. "But it's October thirty-first for us."
"My guess is that in this world, it must have moved ahead to a day before Christmas." Spyro said. "That and the author probably goofed again and didn't watch the playthroughs of the game to think of a better time to do this thing."
A moment later, a section of the ring fell and hit Spyro on the head, knocking him down to the ground while the others looked up, wondering how that happened.
"Oh no, it's almost Christmas!" Jack said.
"I wonder what happened to the Christmas door?" Finkelstein said as Spyro got up.
"My guess is that bug head took it like the others." Spyro said, getting up. "I can understand the Halloween door and the Christmas door being taken, but why the others?"
"We must get back to the Pumpkin patch!" Jack said.
"Might not be easy." Spyro said. "Oogie's minions must be possessing the pumpkins to keep anyone from entering."
"Hold on, I got an idea!" Finkelstein said, rolling away. "Be right back!" The doctor then started wheeling away, leaving the group alone as Sally came in holding a present.
"Looks like the doctor is back to his old self again." Sally said.
"Yeah, and not a moment too soon." Spyro said, seeing she was carrying a present. "What's with the present?"
"Well, I thought this might be helpful if you're going up against Oogie Boogie." Sally said, presenting the present to Jack.
As Jack took it, the present started to glow, opening as a light surrounded Jack and revealed he was now in his Christmas costume, surprising everyone when they saw it.
"Never thought I'd see that thing again." Spyro said.
"Oh ho, that looks good on you Jack!" Finkelstein said, rolling to them. "And i have a device that will scare Oogie's minions out of those Pumpkins. But if I told you what was inside, then it would ruin the surprise. Use the device by hiding it in your Sandy bag and stun those monsters with it."
Jack took the device, looking to Finkelstein before one another, smiling as they left the lab. Meanwhile with Oogie Boogie, he slammed his hand into the cauldron and growled, Salem and Maleficent not looking too pleased as they looked to Oogie Boogie.
"It appears your plans are falling apart." Maleficent said. "Finkelstein is free and now they're heading for the Pumpkin Patch."
"They won't get very far though." Oogie Boogie said. "Even though I no longer have the good doctor, I still have a large army of bones, ghosts and ghouls at my command to stop them."
"So far, you're not giving us a lot of confidence." Salem said, calling a few of her Grimm. "Maybe I should have some of my pets take care of the problem."
"Now, now, I still have a few tricks up my Oogie sleeves!" Oogie Boogie said, looking back to the cauldron. "Watch, they're about to run into a few of my ghouls now!"
They all looked in the cauldron and saw that Jack was in his santa costume, pulling the bag out as the device then jumped out and scared the ghosts out of the pumpkins, Spyro quickly using Force lightning to dispatch them as Maleficent and Salem both looked up at Oogie Boogie.
"You were saying?" Salem asked.
"Uh, that's just a... minor set back." Oogie Boogie said.
"It appears your monsters are not capable fo handling the prince or his lackeys." Maleficent said as multiple Heartless appeared, from Gargoyles to Wright Nights, all looking ready to go. "My Heartless will take it from here."
She then waved her hand, sending the heartless to try and intercept them before they could get any further and interfere with their plans any more, all looking back into the cauldron to see what happens. meanwhile with Spyro and the group, they were walking through the Pumpkin patch, using the device to scare many ghosts out of the pumpkins and stunning them for a little while, giving them a chance to destroy them as they reached a small opening, seeing another local of Halloween town in the opening with a hatchet in his head as he turned to them.
"Behemoth, what are you doing here?" Jack asked. "It's dangerous out here."
"It's the Bad'uns." Behemoth replied. "They ruin it and broke bridge." They looked ahead and saw that the bridge was completely destroyed, cutting off their route into the patch. "And the Big Pumpkin head. The Bad'uns eat it too. Oh, my precious pumpkins."
They looked to the massive Pumpkin in the distance, seeing a sickly green glow coming from it.
"And that's where we need to go." Spyro said, walking forward. "I can sense that there's another door there."
A moment later, the speakers went off, everyone looking up as Oogie got ready to make another announcement.
"Testing, testing, am I on?" Oogie Boogie asked, clearing his throat. "Denizens of Oogie Town, according to reports, jack has returned and with a posy to try and over throw me, hehehe. He's currently enjoying our Dangerous Oogie Town, so much so that he and his friends are screaming with horror! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Rejoice, for this is all thanks to your efforts! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh Barrel, my star pupil, my prodigal son, by shining son, would you be so kind as to finish the work that your half-witted, half-pint, half alive playmates could not. And if you cannot, there is more than half a chance that I'll be very, very, VERY ANGRY!"
The intercom then went off as Oogie Boogie ended his announcement, everyone looking to one another as they looked to the pumpkin, seeing the sickly green glow coming from it while Spyro gave it a stern look, not liking any of this as Fluttershy walked up next to him.
"So, we're facing Barrel next?" Fluttershy asked.
"More than likely, yes." Spyro said. "And whatever else is in that giant Pumpkin. And whatever it is, I don't think it's going to be willing to give us the door."
"But why does Oogie Boogie want these things in the first place?" Mandy asked, looking to Ruby and Weiss. "It doesn't make any sense."
"We'll find out soon." Spyro said. he then tapped his foot on the ground and immediately a new bridge formed from the earth, looking to his friends. "We better get going if we're going to stop Oogie, we best get going. Who knows what else he has in store for us."
The group then started making their way towards the giant pumpkin, ready to take on whatever is waiting for them in order to stop Oogie Boogie. Meanwhile in Equestria, all the fillies and colts were gathered in the Theater room, everyone talking excitedly as they waited for the movie to start as the Crusaders walked in.
"Hey everypony!" Apple Bloom said. "Thanks for comin' since Nightmare Night's on hold until everypony figures out what's goin' on!"
"Do you think the prince is going to come back?" Dinky asked, walking up. "I heard from Twilight that he had a feeling what was going on and was going to check on it."
"Don't worry, he always comes back!" Scootaloo said. "And I bet when he doesn, Nightmare night will be back on track!"
"Now whose ready to watch a movie!?" Sweeite Belle shouted excitedly.
Everyone cheered as they were more than ready for the movie, Apple Bloom running to get the snacks as Applejack walked in with plenty of food for everyone.
"This was a wonderful idea sugar cube." Apple Bloom said. "This will get everypony's minds off of Nightmare Night bein' ruined."
"Yeah, well, figured it might be the best thing to do at the current moment." Apple Bloom said, getting the food. "Thanks sis."
The filly then went back to the room, placing the snacks on a nearby table as Scootaloo got the projector ready.
"You sure you know how to use that thing?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Of course I do." Scootaloo replied. "I saw Spyro use this thing many times."
"Is everypony ready!" Apple Bloom asked.
"Sure are!" Pipsqueak replied.
"Alright then everypony, take yer seats then!" Apple Bloom said. "The first movie we'll be watchin' is called Coraline!"
Sweeite Belle then got the movie case and opened it, putting the disk into the DVD slot, but as it closed, but as it did, the Other Mothers eyes were glowing red, moving into the slot while the cat's eyes were glowing blue, the disk completely into the machine for everypony to watch.
