"I've lived outside Halloween Town for a while," he explained to the two girls, while they hid in a cave to avoid more attacks by the annoying Dark fox.
"Really? I figured you'd be living there," Jess said.
"Well, I would've but Jack and my creator kicked me out," Hybrid said in disgust, "I stumbled upon the bogeyman's place and slipped in by accident, but at least he gave me a home."
Jess looked in surprise but in sypathy. "That's terrible. I wouldn't think Jack would do something like that but at least you do have a good place to live," she smiled.
"Thanks... But now, I don't have any clue where Oogie went and Akane is off somewhere. I ended up trying to fly through here to find them but then a large shadow appeared and started to burn the forest," he explained.
Jess clentched her fists and Deiara glared at the ground. "That rotten D. He shouldn't be alive for all this suffering he's caused," Deiara said.
"He's low, that's for sure," Jess said, then turned back to Hybrid, "How about you come with us for a while, you can't fly and you can help us out."
Hybrid looked at his wing and then back at Jess. He hestitated but then finally nodded. "I do owe you."
Then he got up and bowed, causing Jess to laugh. "Don't be formal with me, please," Jess said.
Then Deiara's eyes widened at what she was looking at and the fox started growling. "Umm... guys? You may want to take a look at this."
