Jess had an idea and she asked Barrel to come over to a small shack nearby. Barrel agreed to this. Noises were heard and Jess went out. Lock's eyes widened, but he smirked anyway.
"What are you gonna do to me, toots?" Lock scoffed. Jess smiled evilly as she took out her cell phone. She dialed a number.
"Yep, your lackeys hate you.....they praise their new master....they say you are a pushover...Oh, you want to talk to one of them? Sure...It's for you." Jess talked, then gave the phone to Lock.
"Hello, Lock speaking?" Lock asked. Yelling can be heard from the phone and just as it was about to be over, Lock screamed, dropped the phone, and ran off. Jess picked up the phone.
"Yep, he ran away screaming like a little girl...okay, bye Oogie. Call ya later!^^" Jess hung up. She untied Deiara, who was breathing heavily.
"AHHHHHH, you are one of the giant evil skeletons from the video game!!!" Deiara screamed.
"Deiara, it's me Jess. Boy, am I glad to see you!!!" Jess transformed back into a human and hugged her friend.
"Jess what happened un?" Deiara moaned in pain.
"Funny, I was about to ask the same thing. I'll explain my story, then you explain what that dark fox is planning."
"Before you explain, what did you do to Barrel?" Deiara asked. Barrel came out of the shack, kiss marks all over him, feeling dizzy.
"What a babe!" Barrel sighed, then collapsed. Jess rolled her eyes.
Jess told Deiara everything about Celena, the Trio, Taro, castles, music chakra notes, and having many demons. Deiara explained the basic plan.
"So D.Kyuubi is capturing the bijuu so he can be the ruler of all 9 villages?" Jess asked.
"Yep, and he plans to take over the world as well."
"That's terrible!"
"I know, we nearly get killed every single day and now the world is almost at an end." Deiara sighed.
"Don't worry! With the help of my music chakra and my demons, we can beat D.Kyuubi together-"
"Not on my watch!" An evil voice shot out. It was D.Kyuubi. Jess sneered at the red-headed king. Deiara got ready to fight as well. Familiar music filled the air.
DK:Well, well, well!
Look what the bat dragged in!
Jess, you made it this far?
Oh, I'm really scared!
Jess touched her heart and transformed into her Soul Robber Skellington form. She tried throwing the evil man into the air.
Jess:D.Kyuubi, I'm here to finish this
Once and for all!
D. laughed and sung as he dodged the soul robber. Deiara did some fire attacks.
DK:You're jokin'! You're jokin'!
I can't believe my ears!
You're jokin'! You gotta be!
Best laugh I've had in years!
Jess turned into her pumpkin king form and started blowing fire.
Jack(Jess):I hope you did amuse yourself
With this, your little fling!
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause I'm the Pumpkin King!
DK:You think you are winning
But that's a lot of noise!
Just to be a sport, dear Jess
I'll share my demon toys!
Ghosts made from fire came out from the ground and tried attacking the two ninjas.
DK:Whoa oh!
Ghosts:Ohhh!
DK:Ohhh!
Ghosts:Ohhh!
DK:Whoa oh!
Ghosts:Ohhh!
DK:I'm the dark demon king!
"Stay back, Deiara. I'm about to do my thing." Jess said as she collected enough music notes made from chakra and transformed back into her normal self.
"Ready? 3, 2, 1...Let's dance!" Jess danced and sung. Deiara clapped along the way. The spotlight was following Jess.(Note:When Jess says 'Leaders of the villages' she means the biju. When DK says the maze, he means the castle.-_-')
Jess:The leaders of the villages
Must right now be set free!
Release them all at once
Or you'll have to deal with me!
D.Kyuubi pushed Jess off the spotlight. Jess coughed as D. sung and started to dance...o_O
DK:You beat my men, so what? Big deal!
You even ran the maze!
You still can't stop me!
I'm the king every single day!
"You can do it Jess!" Deiara cheered. Jess twirled around and around.
DK:Ohhh!
Jess:Whoa oh!
DK:Whoa oh!
Jess:Whoa oh!
DK:Whoa oh!
Jess:Whoa oh!
Jess flung the music chakra notes at D.
Jess:I'm gonna be the Queen!
"Actually, it's Kazekage." Deiara corrected.
"Whatever! Hey wait a minute..." Jess looked at the fallen dark fox. He was smirking.
"Too bad I'm only D.Kyuubi's shadow clone. The really me is somewhere taking over the villages. Frist leaf, then the sand. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The shadow clone disappeared. Jess slapped her forehead.
[Earlier]
"Shukaku, Kyuubi, Raijuu, Hachimata," Deiara whispered.
The biju turned to face her. "I think I have a plan on getting out of here un."
"How, using chakra won't work," Kyuubi said, talking down to her like she was an idiot.
"I know," Deiara said, "but cutting the bars should work."
"Great idea," Shukaku exclaimed.
"No, baka!" Kyuubi and Hachi snapped, "We can't do that because transforming into our regular form is chakra based and cutting the bars with our teeth and claws is chakra based, adding to that, we'll be crushed by the cages and break bones since you tried getting out by growing and failed."
Shukaku thought for a minute. "Oh... yeah."
Deiara smirked and pulled a kunai she had been consealing that D. didn't take away unlike the other things. "My kunai isn't chakra based."
Deiara began slashing at the bars, clanking sounds were apparent. The bars began sparking until Deiara finally cut one of the bars open. "Yes! Now all I have to do is get you-" she was cut off by getting wacked in the head with a stick.
Lock cackled. "Don't take it personally, but Mr. D will skin my hide," he said to the unconcious little girl, dragging her away.
[Now]
Deiara opened her eyes slightly and started moaning. Her head was aching from what Lock hit her with earlier. Man... did I get hit by a truck?
Her eyes widened when she smelled the scent of the snake and spider stew. She looked below her and then screamed. "I know you two are going to enjoy this meal, I'm making it myself," Lock laughed.
Jess growled and tightened her fists. "I hope you like snake and spider stew my love," Barrel said sweetly.
Meanwhile... (Let's check on what Taro and Celena were doing. NOTE- They aren't transformed anymore because they're away from Barrel)
"I don't get why people always *hiccup* think Jess is attractive and go after her," Taro said stubbornly while the two were sneeking around the castle. (Taro's technically 11-12 at this time and doesn't get the point on relationships or liking someone because he's just a kid)
"Well, if you're a werewolf or vampire, you get used to the attention," Celena said.
Taro looked at her questionably. "Whatcha mean?"
Celena said in an annoyed tone, "When you're a vampire or werewolf it gets annoying because humans are always attracted to you, badgering you for dates, trying to rape you, kiss you, stalk you, try and get sex, trying to steal your things, worshipping the ground you walk on, treating you like a god or goddess Ugh... It just annoys me." (Actually, this is a true fact for werewolves (lycans) and vampires (cold ones), they look aluring to any human, but this is a type of mechanism to get prey for werewolves and vampires but if they're a werewolf or vampire, it doesn't effect one another, so if a werewolf likes a werewolf and they become mates, that's true love for ya *nods* same goes for vampires)
"Does it work with the *hiccup* same gender?" Taro asked.
"Yeah," Celena said, "It works with males or females, regardless of gender."
Then she turned to Taro, "And Jess is part werewolf, right? So I assume that's the reason. The only reason why you aren't effected is because you aren't old enough."
Celena turned back and started sneeking around again. Taro was dumbfounded. "Wait! You mean when I get *hiccup* older I'm going to be effected?!" Taro freaked.
"It really depends, sometimes it works and other times, it's ineffective."
Those two came into a hallway and looked around. "So which d-" Taro was cut off when a trap door opened and both the lycan and kid fell into the darkness.
"Man, I hate when they do this!!" Jess complained, changing into her pumpkin king form. She lit the room with her jack-o-latern glow. Dark creatures surrounded the three heroes. Once the three defeated them, a wailing sound was heard. Someone spoke in the loud speaker.
"Testing...testing...1, 2, 3. Am I on? Greetings pathetic humans of Dark City. This is Dark Kyuubi, your king speaking. I have an announcement to make. First of all, the one you call Jess is never going to save you. She's too busy being scared to death. Barrel, my star pupil, my number one lackey! Succeed and conquer unlike your half-pint, half-witted, and half-alive playmates of yours. If you don't, you can be half sure that I will be very, very ANGRY!" D.Kyuubi laughed, then stopped speaking.
"How dare he call me weak?" Jess punched the air. Then she had an idea.
"We will trick Barrel to death in order to beat D. And I know just the demon for the job!" Jess said happily.
[With Barrel]
Barrel snickered at his plan. He was very happy indeed.
"C'mon skeletons! Now that we finished the job, we can have some fun, then we report to Mr.D!!!" Barrel led his army of colorful skeletons. A purple one, a yellow one, and a red one followed as well.
"Celena, I can hear your jaws chatter." The purple skeleton said to the yellow one.
"Sorry, I just have a scare when it comes to castles." Celena said.
"Let's hope *hiccup* these transformations work..." Taro, the red skeleton sighed. Barrel stopped and looked at the three skeletons.
"Why hello there. I didn't see you standing there..." Barrel blushed when he saw the purple skeleton. If Jess had eyeballs, they would be widened by now.
"You two, go and report to D! I'm going to hang out with my new girlfriend." Barrel growled playfully. Celena and Taro nodded, then winked at Jess. Jess followed Barrel into a pumpkin patch.
"So you are small too, just like me? I know what's it like, being the dumb, little guy." Barrel said sadly. For once in Jess's life, she heard Barrel speak the truth. Jess put her bone arms around Barrel.
"Thank you. It's a good thing that Mr.D let's me keep Mr.Oogie's skeletons or I would had never found you. I got you something to eat." Barrel pointed to all the pumpkins in the patch. Jess had to go along with it.
[a half hour later]
Barrel looked up at the now 10 story high skeleton. Jess gulped down another pumpkin.
"I'm glad you like them. I have one more treat for you, my love. It's snake and spider stew. I added pumpkins in it and look what Lock is putting in the stew." Both looked to see Lock smiling, holding a tied up Deiara. Jess's jaw dropped to the ground.

Jess looked at Barrel suspiciously after what he was saying, especially after Shock tried to kill her and Celena with her own friend, but then she figured that those three change sides more than a person changes their underwear so, she had no choice but to believe what the kid was saying. "Fine... just tell us where he is so we can get rid of him ourselves," Jess said.
Barrel nodded rapidly. "Thank you! Thank you!" he almost said to quickly, "I'll lead you to his room."
The three followed, but couldn't help but feel something was wrong... Barrel lead them inside and opened a door. The three walked in. "It's a little dark," Jess commented, "can you turn the light on?"
Barrel smirked and pushed them in the room, "Sorry, this is where your stop ends," and then he shut the door.
I found this NBC website, so I joined there. I'm known as BoogieGirl159 in it. Here is the link:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jess turned back into human, but she was a little scared about being caged up. She walked behind Taro. Celena walked behind Jess, whimpering.
"Here we are!" Taro pointed to a giant black castle surrounded. Everyone shuddered.
"Jack Skellington never had to go through this in the video game!" Jess sighed, thinking about the NBC video game that Shukaku had given her as a present. Celena just stared wide-eyed.
"Celena, are you okay?" Jess asked her werewolf friend.
"I-I'm fine..." Celena stuttered.
"It's okay Celena. If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. Now to get inside..." Jess pondered for a minute. Suddenly Barrel came running.
"Oh god no! Not this again..." The three kids(Okay I mean a child, a werewolf, and a misunderstood human) got ready to attack. Barrel came crying and bowed to the ground.
"Please, you got to kill D.Kyuubi at once!" Barrel sobbed.
"Be careful, Jess. These kids lie a lot." Celena growled.
"No really, I meant it! D. is way scary and evil. I'd rather be with Mr.Oogie than with the evil fox man. You got to help me!!!" Barrel begged.
"How can we trust you?" Jess asked.
"Don't worry, you can. You certainly can." Barrel said. No one saw that Barrel crossed his fingers.
