Over the years many things happened to the six, they evolved into some of the scariest things around.
30th November (soon after they escaped)
Halvez laid across the table, he was unconscious the equipment beside him was state of the art, stolen state of the art but state of the art but state of the art nevertheless.
Lectra and Amps walked over to him and began to work.
They removed and replaced all of Halvez’s metal side, making it so it was better, stronger and so his face could show emotion on that side. They then worked on the flesh side, pumping a highly toxic fluid into his almost human side.
Lectra smiled as Halvez’s skin began to harden; soon it would be as strong as the metal that encased his other side. Cornflower skin technology could be used if the toxic fluid was administrated correctly, it would change the biochemistry of someone’s skin, if the skin was touched gently then the skin would give way like normal skin but if for example, you hit them with a hammer then you would end up with a dented hammer. He would be ok they knew that, but the process still worried them.
3 hours later
Halvez woke up, sat up and for the first time since they had been separated from his parents he smiled using both sides of his face.
31st October
Stickz’s flame ginger hair flowed behind her, she missed her old colour it had reminded her of home, the media told everyone it was ginger, so for some reason her hair was now pumpkin orange.
Her new black coat fluttered and swirled in the wind. She still had her ragdoll dress, but her jeans and shirt were more practical, all the girls had shoes that looked like high heels but were actually flat.
Bugcy stood next to her; she didn’t miss her burlap bag from, in that state a grazed knee could become fatal. But this new form was slightly harder to use but it was also faster.
This was their first Halloween away from home; they were going out to scare people soon, they were just waiting till the sun went down. With only each other they had all pushed their family backgrounds behind them and had become good friends.
The sun disappeared, the others joined them and all 6 launched into the air.
Jessica was going to do the Skellington name justice and she would look for her parents at the same time. Though part of her new that tonight, she would not find them.
31st October (Jack and Sally)
Jack walked despondently through the streets; this was his first Halloween without his children and would have been the first Halloween that they had outside the town. He heard rhythmic drumming of footsteps as Sally caught up with him she was managing to sew up her arm whilst walking which is quite hard.
“I miss them to” Sally had read Jack’s face like a book.
“I just,” Jack paused, words refusing to form sentences in his mind “keep thinking they’ll come back, Jessica was always a little fighter.”
“I know, but they are both dead” Sally was choking back tears.
“Do you remember how they were made?” Jack asked, a smile managed to fight its way onto Jacks lips (sorry couldn’t think of a better word) but it was soon lost to the now semi-permanent frown. Jack looked down to one of his fingers that was sharper than the rest, it had a piece of it removed. Sally had part of her hair gone too. The Doctor had slammed there DNA together then put the foetus into Sally and 9 months later Jessica and Carlos had been born.
Who would have known happiness like that could have been ruined so easily
Oogie and Hera
Oogie and Hera hadn’t even left the house and they weren’t planning to, Hera’s compound eyes looked around, and the eight huge spider legs that protruded from her back twitched. They missed Arachcana and Beatlan dearly, even if they could be really annoying and always seemed to be laughing.
“You know,” Lock entered the room followed by Shock and
Barrel. They had long ago become respected members of Halloweentown, Lock and Shock were married, and Barrel had recently proposed to a pretty werewolf that hid in the shadows a lot, and she had said yes, but they still went to see Oogie at times, “it is Halloween, and you are meant to be scaring people”
“I don’t feel like it” Oogie’s deep voice was strangely quiet he normally would have shouted at Lock to keep his place, but now he couldn’t be bothered and as they left the room Barrel swore he saw a tear run down Oogie’s face.
Doctor Finkelstein
Doctor Finkelstien looked at his plans for his next creation then screwed them up and chucked them at the bin, he missed by a meter, oh how he missed Electrona and her fiery personality but her and Volto were gone and it looked like his imagination had followed them.
14th march (the next year)
Stickz ran for all she was worth, the abandoned science lab was a perfect hiding place, until you were found, and then you had problems. They had all split up but most of the ruddy maniacs (squadies) had gone after “the ginger devil” AKA HER.
She conjured fire into her hands and sent it down the corridor, that would hold them up a little, she then began to turn up all the gas in the room to full till the place was flooded with it, (yes I know this means there is no breathable air in the room, but Stickz doesn’t exactly need to breath does she?), Stickz then pelted out of the room and hoping the gas was flammable, she sent a fireball behind her then wrapped her wings around her and let the wave of fire and debris flow over her.
“Stickz,” someone was tapping on her wings, it sounded like Bugcy, the voice was muffled but she could still hear it. “You can come out now we dealt with the rest”
“Good” said Stickz letting her wings flop to the floor, she then stood up and sheathed them into her rib cage; the others had all ready put their wings away.
“Hay what’s that you’re standing on?” Lectra always noticed little things like this, that’s why Stickz liked her.
“Looks like a trap door” Stickz moved off it and looked at it, “it has a keypad” Stickz reached down and tugged at the pad it came away easily.
“Did you have to break it?” Lectra asked
“Well…”
“Forget it, open the dam door”
“Ok” Stickz pulled the door open and disappeared inside, the others followed her.
They seemed to be inside a high-tech living space complete with kitchen and 20 bedrooms, Bugcy grimaced as she said,
“Stickz I think I’ve found some of your cousins”
“Very funny” but Stickz didn’t have a smile on her face, as she looked at the skeletons in the cupboard.
“Well,” said Halvez “Ignoring the bodies this is a nice place, we could live here” for some reason Stickz had been appointed leader so Halvez looked at his sister as he said this.
“I agree” Skuttlez walked into the room after checking out the bathroom.
“Me and Amps should be able to get this place going again” Lectra put in.
“Ok we live here; it will stop all this running”
Time carried on like this but they have nothing to do with this story so let’s go to when Stickz, Bugcy, Lectra, Skuttlez, Halvez and Amps are 12.
