..."Valkyrie do as Jack advises." and with that he put his guns back in his jacket and pushed the air, throwing Vengeous into a seperate room.
Valkyrie made to go after him but Jack held her back. They both stared at the place where Skulduggery dissappeared. "He forgave me." Jack said. Valkyrie looked up at him, "I suppose he did." Oogie howled in anger, "You can never trust skeletons." Jack moved right in front of Valkyrie and kneeled. "Valkyrie I want you to go and get Sally." "Aye sir." She nodded, and ran across the room, past Oogie.
As Valkyrie entered, she clicked her fingers. The flame luminated the area, casting a shadow over the hanging ragdoll. "Sally!" The ragdoll raised her head slowly. "Who are you?" she asked weakly. "Don't worry. I'm here to help you." Valkyrie began to melt the chains holding her. Once Sally was released, she fell right into Valkyries arms. "Where's Jack?" she whispered. "Dealing with Oogie Boogie." She could hear words being exchanged outside the room. She hauled Sally onto her shoulders then 3 figures blocked their way out.
"Your not going anywhere." said the kid with a devil mask. "Who are you?" "We're Lock." "Shock." "Barrel." Valkyrie gently placed Sally on the ground and readied herself.
This song is to the melody of Kidnap the Sandy Claws.
(when i say ALL I'm refering to just Lock, Shock, and Barrel.)
All:
La, la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la
The three small trick or treaters grabbed the nearest weapons at hand. Shock was armed with a wand, Lock was armed with spike balls connected to chains, and Barrel was armed with deadly sling shot shooting darts and knifes. "Oh crap..." Valkyrie whispered. They all moved in unison, surronding her.
All:
Kill the little human girl
This is so much fun
We make michief all the time
Our work is never done
Lock performed a cart wheel in her direction, the spiked weapon acting as his wheels. Valkyrie jumped out of the way as Barrel shot a dart at her head.
Shock:
First we're going to chop you down
Then we'll make your powers bound
Valkyrie moved quickly.
Valkyrie:
Oh you'll have to catch me first.
Shock:
And then we're going to make you burst!
Valkyrie stood herself upright and put her hands out in front of her as if trying to comprimise.
Valkyrie:
Stop! I have a better plan
We can all walk away from this we can
We can all be on our merry way-
All:
No we'd like to say!
They all charged at her at once but she pushed the air underneath her and she jumped right over thier heads. Their heads turned in her direction.
All:
Kill the little human girl
You don't have much time
Sally's life is going down
Oh what a dreadful crime
Valkyrie's head turned toward Sally. What? Where the saying somethings wrong with her? She needed to get her to Skulduggery quick in case if what they were saying was true. Valkyrie yelled in surprise as the one known as Barrel ran between her legs. He looked up at her, took aim, and shot a knife toward her chest.
Lock:
Then Jack the old town Pumpkin King
Will surrender the whole town over then
Valkyrie stepped back a bit as the knife mearly bounced off her jacket. Barrel looked at her confused.
Shock:
Oogie'll be so pleased I do declare
All:
The whole town should beware!
Wheeee....
Valkyrie clicked her fingers summoning two flames and thrust them at Shock and Lock. The laughed a high pitch laugh as the jumped out of harms way.
Valkyrie:
Oh come on you are boring me
I will take you down you all will see!
Lock:
You cannot scold us for our pranks
To Oogie Boogie lets give thanks
Valkyrie was taken aback by that line. She didn't recall scolding them. Huh! Was she sounding more like her mother? And pranks? Was throwing spiked balls around and shooting darts called pranks now??
Valkyrie:
Don't be foolish! Think now-
All this danger isn't fun and games
Barrel:
Oh who are you to say
All:
That this battle isn't just fun to play!
Valkyrie pushed the air to knock Lock off his feet but a strong powerful force hit her back and she collided with the far wall. She groaned and looked up to see Shock pointing her wand at her.
All:
Kill the little human girl
We're going to win
Once we get the ragdoll back
We will do you in
Valkyrie shot a quick glance in Sally's direction before rolling out of the way of a black lightning bolt. Damn that little witch girl. Where was Skulduggery?
Valkyrie:
Oh Mr. Skulduggery Pleasant will come soon to take you down
If I were on his hit list
I'd get out of town
Valkyrie grasped a metal pole she found on the floor and swung it at Shock as if she were playing golf. Shock was set flying. The witch girl got back to her feet and stood by her fellow comrades.
All:
We're Oogies henchmen and we take our job with pride
We do our best to please him-
Valkyrie:
I guess you failed him this time
All:
La la la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la
Valkyrie swung the metal pole again but missed. She saw the chains on the floor and an idea dawned to her.
All:
Kill the little human girl
Chop her into bits
Valkyrie grabbed the chains and began to swing as if it were a lasso.
Valkyrie:
When I tell Jack this
He's sure to get his kicks
She clicked her free fingers and lite the chains ablaze. The three trick or treaters took a step backwards.
All:
Kill the little human girl
Valkyrie:
You are going to loose
She swung, and using the air wrapped the flaming chains around the troublemakers. Bounding them.
All:
Let us go our we will tell-
Valkyrie walked up beside them as they struggled to break the hold.
Valkyrie:
Oogie if you choose!
She smiled at her victory then turned and ran up to Sally's side.
-------------------------------
whew... done with that. Go Valkyrie! Go Valkyrie! (personally I vote for Skulduggery more)
The last two chapters next. Enjoy!
