Stock, Shock and Jack ran as fast as their legs could carry them. Stock stopped suddenly as he heard music around them.
“Stock,” Shock asked turning to Stock “You okay?” Stock stayed silent listening to the hypnotic song.
“I know that voice!” Stock said still listening to the song. Shock started to hear the song as well and gasped.
“That sounds like Barrle!” Shock pointed out. Stock’s eyes widened and looked at Shock.
“Jak’s making her use her shadow power!” Stock exclaimed.
“Shadow power?” Shock asked.
“Well long story short shadows have powers; Barrle can grant wishes and is also a siren.” Stock said with haste, Shock and Jack exchanged looks.
“But that isn’t coming from the shadow world.” Jack also pointed.
“Sounds like the mortal world.” Shock said then glanced at Stock who had a look as if to go and save Barrle. “Oh no, I will not let you go back there you almost died, again!!”
“Okay, okay...but who can help her?” Stock said. Jack thought long and hard.
“I’ll go.” Was all Jack said, Stock nodded and looked at Shock.
“I’m with you Stock.” Shock said hugging onto Stock’s side. With that Jack took off to the mortal world.
Stock and Shock headed to the Shadow World and saw Lok, Lock, Queen Oogie, and Barrel tied up not in Jak’s lair, but beside the shadow fountain. Lok glanced and saw Stock and Shock and started pointing with her head where Oogie Boogie was. Stock looked over and saw Oogie trying to get one of the traps to work. Queen Oogie got Stocks attention trying to tell him to untie her, Stock snuck over with Shock and untied her. Shock untied Lok, Lock and Barrel; Shock also untied Lok and Locks tails at that point. Both Lok and Lock looked in disbelief but didn’t question it. Queen Oogie smirked then walked behind Oogie Boogie and tapped his shoulder. As Oogie turned to see who it was, Queen Oogie punched him hard enough to knock him out.
“I have been wanting to do that forever!” the Queen said as she turned to the others with a pleased smile.
“Well that was kind of easy...” Lock pointed out.
“Almost too easy...” Lok finished.
“Wait, Barrle!” Barrel exclaimed and looked directly at Stock. “Where is she?!”
“Barrel, She’s with Jak...but Jack is gonna stop her.” Stock said, he tried to sound hopeful but he wasn’t so sure Barrle would be okay; Shock put her hand on his shoulder.
“Stock’s right Jack will make things right he always does.” Shock said hoping that would make Stock feel better; it somewhat worked.
Jack soon came back to the mortal world with Santa and they could hear the song was stronger. Jak was no where to be seen nor was Barrle but Barrle’s song was so clear she could’ve been right next to them.
“Is she quoting Poe?” Jack asked, and indeed she was:
“Come little children, I’ll take thee away, into a land of enchantment,
Come little children the time’s come to play, here in my Garden of Magic.” Barrle chanted over and over in her hypnotic siren song. All around Jack and Santa Grown adults and Children were walking like zombies to the sound of Barrle’s voice.
“This is not good...” Jack said looking at Santa, Santa adjusted his belt and looked up at Jack.
“We follow these people we will find Barrle and Jak.” Santa said, Jack nodded and the two started to follow the crowd. Soon they found Jak and Barrle, People were crowded around Barrle with such awe and lifelessness from her singing. Barrle looked just as lifeless, she was being controlled to use her powers as Jak held her staff high. Beams of grey and green lights came out of the staff as it seemed to separate the clouds and rips the sky in two. Jack and Santa were both in awe; people kept scurrying to Barrle as she kept singing.
“We gotta do something and fast!” Jack said and it was then Santa Got an idea.
“I know that chain Jack it’s a cursed chain.” Santa started as Jack listened “The tricky part is only true love can take that off...”
“Well that sucks, who could be he-...Barrel!” Jack snapped then looked at Santa. “Sandy I need you to go back and bring me Barrel he can help us free Barrle then we can take down Jak!” With that Santa left with haste, Jack turned to Jak and sighed. “Hey JAK!” Jack yelled making Barrle stop singing and getting Jak’s attention.
“Keep singing you brat!” Jak said and Barrle instantly started singing again.
‘She must really need Barrle, Hmm...I need to buy Sandy some time he better hurry’ Jack thought, Jak glared and pointed the staff at Jack.
“What are you doing here Jack...” Jak said in a bleak voice.
“Well typically here to stop you.” Jack snapped back, Jak growled.
“Barrle Halt your voice!” Jak ordered and Barrle stopped singing and looked at Jak.
“Yes Mistress Jak?” Barrle said in a blank tone. Jak glared at her and growled.
“Never mind I will handle him myself!” Jak demanded as she went straight to Jack and blew him away with the staff. Jack flew back but hit up against a wall causing some of the bricks to break. Jack slowly got back up and tried to hit Jak back but missed, Jak hit him again and smirks.
“You having troubles fighting me Jack!?” Jak smirks hitting him again and getting worse. All of a sudden everything got silent and as Jak tried to hit Jack she couldn’t move and it was then Barrle started singing again.
“Come little children I’ll take thee away, into a land of enchantment, come little children the time’s come to play here in my garden of Magic. Follow sweet children I’ll show thee the way, through all the pain and the sorrows, weep not poor children for life is this way, murdering beauty and passions.” Jak turned and there he was, Barrel holding the chain that was wrapped around Barrle’s neck, Barrle was now free. Barrle’s eyes glowed white as her shadow powers were truly taking effect. People were going back to normal and this was angering Jak.
“No you brat, shut you trap!! Stop singing!!!” Jak yelled feeling powerless, Jack took Jak’s staff and smashed it, Barrle kept singing.
“Hush now dear children it must be this way, to weary of life and deceptions. Rest now my children for soon we’ll away, into the calm and the quiet.” Barrle finished and everyone was now gone.
“Feeling weak aren’t you Jak.” Barrel smirked, it was true Jak felt powerless at this time, Jack grabbed Jak and they all went to Santa’s sleigh.
Jak, Sol, and Oogie Boogie had been banished to the unknown parts of the hinterland and could never return. Lock, Lok, Stock, Shock, Barrel, and Barrle all stood in front of Queen Oogie and Jack.
“Thank you six for saving both worlds.” Oogie said with a smile, Jack nodded in agreement with Oogie. Oogie paused and looked at Stock, Stock glanced back at Oogie thinking ‘Oh great what did I do now.’
“Stock, May I talk to you for a second?” Oogie asked Stock sighed and followed Oogie. Oogie took Stock out where no one was and looked at him.
“Stock I’m retiring.” Oogie finally said, Stock felt kind of shocked at those words.
“Wait, what’s to become of the shadow world?” Stock asked, Oogie sighed.
“You know why I am always making you do all the paper work I have to do as Queen?”
“No?”
“Well...” Oogie took a deep breath “I am choosing you to take my stead.” Stock about dropped his jaw, He couldn’t do that he thought, how could she choose him!?
“Uh I don’t think that’s such a great idea Oogie, I’m no good at this, I can’t be a king.” Stock was thinking of any excuse to make but Oogie stopped him.
“You will be a good king; you risked your life to save Shock and Jack.”
“Yeah that didn’t turn out so great...” Stock retorted, and Oogie crossed her arms.
“Stock you can be king I have been training you for years.” Oogie said and she meant it being final, Stock sighed and looked at Oogie one last time.
“Fine, I’ll do it...” Stock said, though Oogie was pleased to hear this she was still troubled. “What now Oogie?”
“You have to get married Stock.” Oogie said flatly, this made Stock red really badly as he rubbed the back of his neck.
“Oh um...heh.” Stock was speechless, Shock slowly walked into the room and saw Stocks face.
“Um Stock you okay?” Shock asked walking to him. Stock didn’t reply he just stood there red and stuttering to try and say something. Oogie looked at the two and smirked. “Uh Stock what’s wrong dear?” Stock took a deep breath.
“Well Oogie’s retiring and she made me King.” Stock slowly said almost hesitant.
“Well that’s great!” Shock replied hugging Stock.
“Shock, may I ask you something?” Stock asked feeling to go red again. Shock looked at him and smiled.
“Sure.”
“Well see cause I’m king I need to have a queen and I was gonna Ask you-...” Stock was interrupted by Shock how instantly knew and kissed him.
“I will Stock.” Shock said.
Stock and Shock got married and became the King and Queen on the shadow world; no one knows where Oogie is to this day. She vanished after the wedding, some say her and Oogie Boogie got together...who knows. Barrel and Barrle fell in love as if they hadn’t always. Now Lok and Lock are in love too but they still won’t stop their bickering and their constant fighting. Moral of this story? .........I don’t know but it’s something...
