Chapter 3: Rescue Mission
Y/N and Jack came to a window to see Santa Claus and a girl that had stitches all over her blue body, a dress with different color patches, and red hair being held prisoner by a guy that was nothing but a walking and talking burlap sack.
"You got a plan to free your friends?" Y/N asked.
"I do. And here it is," Jack whispered then explained the plan.
Once done, they snuck down and took their positions.
"Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust. Oh, I'm feeling weak with hunger! One more roll of the dice oughta do it," Oogie laughed and threw his dice to a skeleton.
It went in the eye sockets and out the ribs to show two 1's.
"What? Snake eyes?" Oogie demanded, pounded the table to make the dice reveal a 5 and a 6, then exclaimed, "Eleven! Looks like I won the jackpot! Bye-bye, Doll Face and Sandman."
He cranked the lever, making the platform the two victims were on fall. They screamed until Y/N swooped in from a large rope and grabbed them. She brought them to the side with Nica and Zero as Oogie was confused at why they didn't fall in.
"What the--" he questioned.
He brought the platform back up to see Jack giving him a glare.
"Hello, Oogie," Jack greeted darkly.
"J-J-J-Jack! But they said you were dead. How are you alive?" Oogie demanded.
"I had a little help," Jack smirked.
Y/N appeared beside him with a smirk.
"Nice to meet ya. The name's Y/N," she said.
"A human, eh? Well then she must be dead while you must be double dead!" Oogie shrieked, stomping on a button on the floor.
"Oh!" Jack and Y/N exclaimed as the floor started moving.
Cards as tall as Jack came up with swords swinging here and there. Both dodged them with ease until Oogie made them disappear and tall statues came out with guns. They fired, but Jack got on top of the arms with the guns and helped Y/N get up there. Then Oogie pressed another button, sending a spinning, sharp wheel towards the two of them.
"Look out!" Sally shouted.
Jack helped Y/N jump on top of it then he got out of the way. She grabbed the handle the wheel was on until she reached the rope. Jack stood in front of Oogie until he launched himself to the top of a propellor that was lifting up. Little did he know a string came loose on his burlap sack.
"So long, Jack," he howled with laughter.
"How dare you treat my friends so shamefully!" Jack yelled as he grabbed the string and yanked it, making bugs come out of the Oogie Boogie Man.
Y/N swung around the corner, Jack handed her the string, and she got it in the propellor. The burlap sack came off to reveal Oogie's form now with bugs.
"Now look what you've done! My bugs! My bugs! My bugs! My bugs! My bugs! My bugs! My bugs! My bugs! My bugs! My bugs!" Oogie shouted, his voice becoming high pitch.
The bugs fell into the substance while Santa squashed the main bug.
"Forgive me, Mr. Claws. I'm afraid I've made a terrible mess of your holiday," Jack replied sadly as he handed him his hat.
"Bumpy sleigh ride, Jack? The next time you get the urge to take over someone else's holiday, I'd listen to her. She's the only one who makes any sense around this insane asylum," Santa said, indicating to Sally as he put his hat on, and muttered as he walked to the exit, "Skeletons! Boogie men! Ooh."
"I hope there's still time," Jack said hopefully.
"To fix Christmas? Of course there is! I'm Santa Claus," Santa responded, saw Y/N, and explained as he smiled, "Miss Y/N, thank you for helping to save me. If you want, I could take the gift Jack gave you. Either way, you'll get a gift from me."
"Thanks, Santa, but I want to keep what Jack gave me. It's one of the best gifts I could ever ask for," Y/N said.
"Alright. Well, here's your gift from me," Santa responded and gave her a little green box with a red bow, then added, "Merry Christmas."
He put a finger aside his nose and went up the exit of the lair.
"He'll fix things, Jack. He knows what to do," Sally assured.
"How did you get down here, Sally?" Jack wondered.
"I wanted to help you after hearing what happened while you were delivering toys," Sally answered.
"Well, thank you Sally. You're a great friend," Jack smiled.
"No problem," Sally returned it.
"And this is Y/N. Y/N, this is Sally," Jack introduced, bringing Y/N over.
"Nice to meet you," Sally replied, smiling and holding out her hand.
"Same with you," Y/N answered, doing the same.
That's when the door above them opened and four faces revealed themselves.
"Jack! Jack!" the mayor exclaimed.
"Here he is!" Barrel said.
"Alive!" Lock added.
"Just like we said!" Shock pointed out.
"Grab ahold, my boy!" the mayor instructed.
Sally held Y/N's hand while Y/N held Jack's hand and he grabbed the rope.
"Whoa!" they shouted as they were pulled up.
