So this is Halloween?

"Oh ok, so Yukio was captured by that one girl that kicked all our butts and we are going to Halloween town because thats where we think he is?" Takeshi asked while driving the gummi ship.

"You got the first part right but we don't know where Yukio is, we are going to Halloween Town to find Yuzuki and get Yukio together." I answered

"I don't get it" Mamoru asked sitting down in the back of the cockpit

"What's wrong?" I asked as I sat next to him

"What does he mean by that one thing he says? For his final words, you wouldn't think he would say something like that. I think its a clue"

"Well you figure that out while I do some research on Halloween Town."

As we all got busy, I found out that I didn't have a clue what a Halloween was. I just know that the Wight Knight and the Gargoyle come from this place.

I started looking through the Heartless Handbook to see if I can find anything

Halloween Town- a town trapped in the season of Halloween, of tricks and treats. The citizens are in charge of coming with ideas for the following Halloween year round.

In charge: Jack Skellington- Pumpkin King

List of citizens: Jack Skellington, Sally, Dr. Finklestein, Zero, The Mayor, Oogie Boogie (See more info: Allies pg.25)...

Hmmm.... 

I went to the page and it gave me a whole description of Oogie Boogie: "Oogie's outside appearance is very simple"  yada- yada-yada "head to toe in a grey burlap sack, and an obvious seam is visible along the sides."  Ok what else? "Oogie owns a mansion in Halloween Town called the Oogie Manor." 

"Hey, did any one of you guys worked for Oogie Boogie?" I asked

"Who is that?" Takeshi asked

"It's this big guy thats like a pillow but instead of being nice and fluffy, he is evil and filled with bugs... literally" Mamoru said as he squirmed.

"Did you work for him at one point?" I asked

"No" he replied, "I only worked for Hades and Hades was very selfish with his heartless."

"You worked for Hades?" Takeshi asked again

"Well just to do a favor. I still don't know why he told me to go invite this one long silver- haired guy to the Coliseum. Supposedly, that was his backup plan just in case Cloud went solo." 

"OK, guys we are getting off track, so since no one knows exactly who Oogie is, we will find out when we get to Halloween Town." I said

As Takeshi started slowing down and landing, we transformed into local heartless: Takeshi into a Gargoyle, Mamoru into a Search Ghost, and I into a Wight Knight.

"OK, first we find Yuzuki" I said

"Then we see what she knows about Yukio" Mamoru said

"Then we get food" Takeshi added as his stomach started growling and we started staring.

"What? I am hungry." Takeshi said as Mamoru turned his head with his hand and pointed it towards a black and purple Wight Knight crouching on top of the brick wall in the Guillotine Square. This Wight Knight was strange, it seemed to be more thicker and a bit shorter than a regular one. As we stared into its mesmerizing, deadshot red eyes, it stared back at us for a very long and suspenseful moment. We didn't know whether to engage or stay and wait for it to kill us. The eyes of the monster squinted a bit and all of a sudden, its wings sprouted from its back and flew away into the night.

"What was that? I never seen that heartless in the journal." I said as I let go the huge breath I was holding in.

"I've never seen that heartless in my life" Takeshi said

"Well it wasn't an enemy... because we aren't dead yet, but it didn't seem like a friendly either with its whole scary entrance" Mamoru pointed out

I jumped on top of the brick wall on where it was, and it seemed that it left strange black painted markings on the top with what it seemed it wrote with its linear feet.

                                                                 _                             _                                            _                    _                                                                             l\/l          l   l       l_l      l\l     l      l-\    l     l\l                    l        l_l      l=l      


"What the..." Takeshi and I yelled together in unison 

"Uh... guys we got to go" Mamoru said looking behind us

"Wow, Mamoru you are giving up on this riddle already?"

"Well not exactly, we just got Sora and company a couple feet away from us and a crowd of heartless are appearing right behind us so it wouldn't be the best time to think about what the riddle says." 

"THROUGH THAT GATE!" I shouted and pointed to the nearest exit

We started running towards the gate to the point that once I got there, I couldn't stop and I crashed into the gate doors.

As Takeshi opened the gate, I could see both of them giggling so before I entered, I gave them a nice punch on the soldier. 

"A graveyard," Takeshi said as he rubbed over the bruised area I caused, "and a complete dead end, at least there is no one after us here." 

Right after he said that, the gargoyle statues started shaking and the gargoyles broke free from their stone prisons.

"Well outnumbered 3 to 6," Mamoru said, "Great" All three of us sighed

They all flew up in the air and dove towards us. I did my spin attack and gave the gargoyles a good slapping. Mamoru would take a gargoyle that was about to attack and teleport them in front of another one so they would attack each other. Takeshi would start shooting fire balls towards me to shoot them at a faster speed to the enemy.

We finally took out the original six which took most of our energy out (these were actually trained). Takeshi started breathing fast and said, "Haha... well....it could... of been worse." As he said that,  more heartless started spawning and we were backed up in the dead end.

"Perfect timing" I said

"Well" Takeshi added, "It's just heartless, not too bad"

As he said that, the gates opened and Sora and the gang appeared behind the crowd of heartless.

"STOP TALKING" Mamoru shouted, "YOU'RE MAKING THINGS WORST"

"Into the coffin, Sora is going to be too busy taking out everyone else and hopefully he forgets about us."

We went inside and we immediately noticed that it wasn't as stuffy as we thought, it actually felt like we were sliding somewhere. We were then launched through a door and I guess it over shot because we all crash into another door. Once we hit the door with our faces, it slowly creaked opened and we weakly walked through the entrance.

We were in what seemed to be like a pumpkin patch except that every pumpkin seemed to be carved with a scary face on them. In the center of a patch, was a hill with a curled tip.

"What's up with that mountain?" Takeshi said.

All of a sudden, Mamoru snapped and grabbed the piece of paper that he wrote the riddle on.

"Guys, I think the riddle is suppose to be the word... Mountain."

We all gathered around the drawing Mamoru did and as a matter of fact, it did look like the word mountain.

"Well now the next word." Takeshi said

"Well this might be stupid and I doubt that's what it is" I added, "but it looks like TUB."

"Yeah," Takeshi said, "What's a Mountain Tub?"

"Ahem" something behind us said

We looked and saw three children all in costumes riding in a four-legged tub.

"Hey get out of the way," the kid in the devil costume said, "We going to Oogie Boogie's house"

We let them pass as Mamoru huddled us together, "I think we should go with them"

"Why?" Takeshi and I said simultaneously

"Well according to the riddle, there might be something special about that tub and we can also find more info on Oogie from these guys."

"True," I said, "And hey, what's the worst that can happen?"

"We can be eaten alive" Takeshi pointed out "maybe even captured or savagely murdered."

"OK let's do it" I said as I ignored all the worst case scenarios Takeshi brought up.

"Hey, can we come too?" I asked them

"Why should we let you come with us?" A girl dressed as a witch said

"Because if you don't, we will eat you alive and make your heads our very own Jack-O-Lanterns."

"I don't buy it" a boy in a skeleton outfit said

Takeshi flew to him, picked him up by his leg and flew to the sky.

"Okay okay" the boy cried, "You can come with us"

He set him down in the tub and we hopped on.

"I've never seen you guys in Halloween Town before." The witch said

"We are part of the heartless." Mamoru explained, "We just arrived and need to report to Oogie about the Keyblade wielder."

"Oh... Oogie Boogie isn't going to like this" the skeleton boy said

"We will just tell Oogie that Jack brought him."

They started giggling as the tub started walking onto the mountain. As it got close to the peak, the tip of the mountain extended and lead us past a secret gate.

They trio started singing about Halloween and torturing someone, they didn't even notice us getting off the tub.

We dropped down to what seemed to be some kind of sewer that had some green liquid as water.

Psst...

We heard from one of the open sewer lines.

The Wight Knight Gargoyle mix crawled out of the whole and she transformed into a regular Wight Knight, a Wight Knight we already recognized.

"Yuzuki?" We said together

"Who did you think?" She said as she started changing into different color schemes rapidly.

"Ugh what's wrong with you?" Takeshi asked

"Yeah this happens when you drastically transform" Yuzuki explained, "and you guys figured out the riddle, nice I thought I made it too hard."

"Well, it did take a while to translate it but we ended up doing," Mamoru responded with very cocky tone in his voice.

"So have you seen Yukio?" I asked Yuzuki as she grew this sad tired face

"I have been looking all over for him since we were last at Atlantica" she clenched her fist, "A heartless came and captured him but not just any heartless, she was fast, strong, and one of a kind. I couldn't stop her. In the end, if it wasn't for the fact that I had saved a Hi-Potion from the Coliseum, I would have died there. I knew half of the squadron was going to Halloween Town so I snuck in with them and overheard talk about Yukio being held here."

"Then you might want to look at this," Mamoru said as he gave her the pearl.

We started watching it again. Yuzuki sighed

Only one gesture is extraordinary, most are normal or random.

"Hmm..." Yuzuki pondered

"Yeah that's what we said" Takeshi said

"Maybe this is a clue for where he is." Mamoru pointed out.

I started thinking to myself...

Only one gesture is extraordinary

Only...
One...
Gesture...
Is...
Extraordinary...

O...o...g...I...e...

Oogie

"Its an acronym" I realized

"Huh?" Yuzuki looked confused

"Put together only the first letters of each word." I shouted with  excitement

She started writing it down on some nearby sand and it spelled out "OOGIE MANOR"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys, long time no see. I have been going through alot of personal problems lately with family and relationships but hopefully I stay here writing for good. For those who stayed and waited for this part, thank you very much and you guys are the reason why I write these stories, I love you guys.
