The cry of anger startles the ghosts. Including Ruby and Dom. They checked from the only one doorway.

Mr. M. commanded the two servants. "Open the door. The spirits are wondering about a shrieking phantom. Perhaps if I was erroneous."

Dom said to him. "Yes sir. Very good."

Ruby followed the butler.

Mr. M awaits from the opening door.

The maid holds the doorknob to her right.

The butler takes it from his left.

Ruby and Dom nodded at each other. They are preparing for any expectations to come.

Ruby and Dom opens the double-doors at the same time.

Mr. M. was going into disbelief.

The maid and the butler did not believe it either.

The ghosts of the ballroom wails.

The spirits' eyes are on only one character...Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King.

His arms are criss-crossed.

He looks furious.

"Hello, Mephistopheles."

The Pumpkin King walks gradually.

Mr. M. was confused. "Jack...I thought you left the manor..."

The Pumpkin King encountered Mephistopheles. Jack do not liked the ghost host for real.

"YOU left me apprehended in the attic, sir!"

Mr. M. tries to clarify.

The Pumpkin King was not finished. "What's to go clarifying about...The tales of one's spirit to another about tragedies...and the events may be an eternal nightmares..."

Mephistopheles tells Jack. "It seems you have known the Gracey Manor much from your last visit..."

The Pumpkin King puts the pieces of the unlimited puzzle together. "You and Edward Gracey used to work together, are you?"

Something holds Mr. M. back. The ghost host was hesitant.

Jack demands the butler. "Dom, are there any rapiers by any chance?"

The butler was certain. "As a matter of fact, we do somewhere around here."

Mephistopheles was bothered. "What do you think you're doing, Dom?"

The butler tell him off. "That some thing extraordinary is bound to happen...Since YOU summoned the Pumpkin King here to his demise."

Ruby cupped her mouth. The maid did not know. The entire ghosts in the ballroom gasped.

Dom walks up to Jack, giving him Edward Gracey's rapier. The butler wished him luck. The Pumpkin King thanked Dom.

Mephistopheles got his own rapier, ripping off the wall display. Mr. M. was mad. "You will regret blabber-mouthed on the ruler of Halloween Town, you foolish servant."

Jack recalled in a frown. "This confrontation is between you and me, Mephistopheles. Leave Dom and Ruby out of this!" The butler hurried back to the maid. They stayed together for the worst yet to occur.

Mr. M. was ticked off. "I have underestimated you. I just cannot believe you survived the phantom bride. She'll loved every man for her needs. It says in her tale."

The Pumpkin King was not convinced. "Constance Hatchaway was easy to scare her. I just pulled my head off in front of that insane phantom bride."

Credence and Constance have been caught up to the door. The hatbox ghost uttered. "You go back to the attic, missy. I'll hand the spell book to Jack."
