So This Is Halloween?- Part 2

As we walked through the gate to Oogie Manor, all of us didn't know what to expect. For starters, we were thinking of a mansion instead of a deranged tower created in some sort of nightmare... 

Actually now that I think about it...

I shouldn't have been so surprised since we are in a world called Halloween Town that practically is based off all sorts of nightmares.

We walked to the base of the tower and simultaneously looked to see there was no way up. "Well, we can't fly up because of all the heartless patrol there so how are we doing this?" Mamoru pointed out

"We can try climbing as Powerwilds" I asked

"We can't, if you turn into a emblem heartless not designated for the world," Yuzuki explained, "HQ would be notified and have us in faster then you can say... THE TUB!"

We all looked confused at her as she ran away from us and towards something coming our way.

"Hey" a little girl cried out from behind us "Are you numbskulls going to go see Oogie or not?"

We turned around to see Shock, Lock, and Barrel heading towards the walking tub.

"Can we hitch a ride with you guys?" Takeshi asked

"I don't know, can you?" Barrel said with an attitude

The three of us turned to gargoyles, dove towards them, picked them up, and flew into the night sky. 

"On three, we drop them... One...Two..." Yuzuki commanded as we started loosening our grip 

"Okay, okay, OKAY!!!!" Lock panicked

"GWAHHH!!" Shock cried

"I want to go home" Barrel pleaded

We flew back to the ground, into the tub and were on our way up to Oogie Manor.

As we climbed to the top, Shock, Lock, and Barrel put us in bags so we wouldnt be caught by the Heartless patrolling the area. Some Heartless tried to have small talk with the gang but it was usually followed by the words, "Get lost", "Out of our way", or "Take a hike".

"Are we there yet?" Takeshi whispered 

"Almost..." Shock said snickered

"Hey, where are you taking us?" Mamoru asked

"To go see Oogie...hehe" Lock said suspiciously

"I got a bad feeling about this, Mitsuko" Yuzuki whispered, "On three, we jump out...1...2....3!"

Yuzuki and I jumped out to see the gang looking at us, "Goodbye" they said and we were sucked into the huge slide made of pipes, hitting metal in each sharp turn. As we all went down, we all screamed but I can hear one person screaming to go faster.... Takeshi.

First, Takeshi and Mamoru landed still stuck in the bag, as they tried to get up Yuzuki and I landed on top of them.

The room was like a basement with a pit in the middle, for some odd reason. The place was a mess, it seemed that someone was building something here. Over us were some yellow lights that lit up the place but weren't permanent.

"Can you give us a warning next time?" Takeshi asked in pain

"Why didn't you guys get loose?" I asked 

"Because Lock and Shock tied ours and I guess Barrel tried to tie yours by himself." Mamoru explained 

We tried to untie Mamoru and Takeshi's bag until we heard some clinking and clanking from the pit, Yuzuki and I went to go scout it out.
