Thomas Discovers Halloween Town

This is how Thomas discovers Halloween Town goes in Thomas' Nightmare Before Christmas.

Thomas: Weird. There are doors each representing a holiday.

[Thomas notices a door shaped like a pumpkin]

Thomas: Hmm. [goes to the door and opens it]

Ryan F-Freeman: You think this is a good idea, Thomas?

Thomas: Of course it is, Ryan. What's the worst that could happen?

Ryan F-Freeman: You would take Crash with you, Thomas.

Thomas: I'll be fine. [puffs into the doorway but soon finds himself plunging into shere darkness]

Ryan F-Freeman: Thomas!

Twilight Sparkle: What's wrong, Ryan?

Ryan F-Freeman: Thomas just fell down that hole. We have to help him.

[Later, Thomas is seen falling down the dark hole]

Thomas: Argh! [hits the floor] Oof!

[He looks around and sees a scarecrow dangling from a sign that says Halloween Town]

Thomas: Halloween Town?

[Thomas puffs past the Scarecrow and enters a graveyard, where shadows pop up one by one in front of him  and the song This Is Halloween starts playing]

Shadow: Young tank engine of such age~

Wouldn't you like to see something strange~

Siamese Shadow: Come with us and you will see~

This, our town of Halloween~

Pumpkin Patch Chorus: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night~

Ghosts: This is Halloween, you had better make a scene~

Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright~

It's our town, everybody scream~

In this town of Halloween~

Thomas: No! Keep away from me! [puffs into a house, shuts the door, hurries upstairs and sighs with relief]

Monster from under the bed: I am the one hiding under your bed~

Thomas: Oh, no!

Monster from under the bed: Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red~

Thomas: I'm out! [runs to the side of the stares] Phew, that was close!

Monster from under the stairs: I'm the one hiding under your stairs~

Thomas: Who said that?

Monster from under the stairs: [comes out of the cuboard] Me. Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair~

Thomas: Argh! Get away from me! You're too scary! [races out of the house and shuts the door]

Corpse Chorus: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Thomas: Oh, no! Not more of these creatures. [shuts his eyes]

Vampires: Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!~

In this town we call home~

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song~

Thomas: There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home!

[He opens his eyes and looks around]

Thomas: Phew! That was close!

Mayor: In this town, don't we love it now?~

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise~

Thomas: Wow! This town has a mayor?

Corpse Chorus: Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can~

Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll...~

Thomas: Scream?

Harlequin Demon, Werewolf & Melting Man: Yes! This is Halloween!~

Red 'n' black, slimy green~

Werewolf: Aren't you scared?~

Thomas: Yes.

Witches: Well, that's just fine~

Say it once, say it twice~

Take a chance and roll the dice~

Ride with the moon in the dead of night~

Thomas: You know Ryan can fly with a jetpack.[backs up to a tree]

[The tree turns, revealing it has a face and skeletons dangling from it's branches and approaches Thomas]

Hanging Tree: Everybody scream, everybody scream~

Thomas:[screams] What a nice surprise?

Hanged Skeleton Men: In our town of Halloween!~

Thomas: Argh! Okay, now this getting really weird.

Clown: I am the clown with the tear-away face~

Here in a flash and gone without a trace~

Thomas: Whoa! Now this is strange.

Invisible Ghost: I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"~

I am the wind blowing through your hair~

Thomas: Argh! Too scary!

Oogie Boogie Shadow: I am the shadow on the moon at night~

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright~

Thomas: Yikes!

Corpse Chorus: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!~

Halloween! Halloween!~

Thomas: Calm yourself, Thomas. Ryan said you have to be brave.

Child Corpse Trio: Tender lumplings everywhere~

Life's no fun without a good scare~

Thomas: Leave me alone!

Corpse farther: That's our job~

Corpse Mother: But we're not mean~

Parent Corpses: In our town of Halloween~

Thomas: Okay. I think this is just great.

Everyone: This is Halloween, this is Halloween~

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!~

Child Corpse Trio: In this town we call home~

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song~

Everyone: La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween! [Repeat]

[Thomas watches in horror as Jack Skellington rises from the fountain]

Jack Skellington: Why hello there.

Thomas: F-F-Fizzling F-F-F-F-Fireboxes. [backs away from Jack]

Jack Skellington: Wait! Don't be scared. [looks at Thomas] You must be OpThomas Prime. Am I right?

Thomas: Yes. But please don't hurt me.

[Jack approaches Thomas]

Jack Skellington: It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you.

Thomas: Then why is everyone here scaring me?

Jack Skellington: That's what the people of Halloween Town does every Halloween.

Thomas: Oh. Well, it's nice to meet you Jack. I'm Thomas the Tank Engine. [transforms into robot mode and shakes Jack's hand]

Jack Skellington: I'm Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King. It's nice to meet you.

[Back up above, Twilight and Ryan are running]

Ryan F-Freeman: I think we need help, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Just where are we going to get help? I mean it's not like we can run at lightning speed or something.

Ryan F-Freeman: I got it! [stops] Let me open a portal for us. [waves his hand and a portal opens up]

[They race inside and arrive at the Autobot Base]

Ryan F-Freeman: Friends! We have something to tell you.

Ratchet: [turns around] What is it, Ryan? You and our pony princess friend here look like something scared the frag out of you.

Ryan F-Freeman: Sorry, Ratchet. It's about Thomas. Tell them, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Thomas, Ryan and I were walking through a forest and then we found some doors each representing a different traditional holiday. [starts talking quickly] And then Thomas opened one shaped like a pumpkin and fell into a big dark hole.

Ryan F-Freeman: And that's why Twilight and I came here for some help.

Optimus Prime: Where are these doors and where can we find the one shaped like a pumpkin that Thomas fell through?

Ryan F-Freeman: I'll check my communicator for some coordinates.

[The coordinates appears and he shows Ratchet, who slowly but surely enters them into the Groundbridge controls]

Ryan F-Freeman: You know where Thomas is, Ratchet?

Ratchet: Yes. Now follow me. [runs towards the groundbridge]

Ryan F-Freeman: Come on, guys. Follow Ratchet.

[Everyone follows Ratchet and they arrive at the place where Thomas found the doors]

Crash Bandicoot: I knew this place. It's the Hinderlands.

Twilight Sparkle: The Hinderlands?

Crash Bandicoot: You know. From the film, Tim Burton's the Nightmare Before Christmas?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, right. Anyways, Thomas fell through a door shaped like a pumpkin.

Ryan F-Freeman: You mean the Halloween Town door?

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. How did you know?

Ryan F-Freeman: I'm sure it's right next to a tree with a door that looks like a Christmas Tree, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: From which I can see. And there's the pumpkin shaped door.

Crash Bandicoot: I'll go open the door.[opens the Halloween Town door]

[Optimus peers inside]

Crash Bandicoot: What did you see, Optimus?

Optimus Prime: Nothing. Just blackness.

Ryan F-Freeman: Let me try something.[tosses a Wumpa fruit through the door]

[Optimus slowly starts to step inside but trips up]

Crash Bandicoot: Don't worry, Optimus.[grabs Optimus] I got you.

[But Optimus is too heavey for Crash and he falls in, Crash being grabbed by Ratchet and then Ratchet being grabbed by Arcee]

Ryan F-Freeman: C'mon, friends. [grabs Arcee] Let's pull Optimus out.

[Everyone starts pulling with Ultra Magnus at the back. But suddenly, Ultra Magnus starts to lose his grip on the others]

Ryan F-Freeman: Ultra Magnus, hold on! [tightens his grip on Ultra Magnus]

[But Optimus is too heavy and pulls the rest of the gang through the door, sending them falling into thick blackness]

Crash Bandicoot: Wow! This is fun.

Ryan F-Freeman: My communicator is picking up a new world!

Twilight Sparkle: And what world is that?

Ryan F-Freeman: Oh no, wait! It's just a smudge on the screen. Never mind!

[The gang lands with a thud on the floor of the cavern Thomas fell down]

Crash Bandicoot: Is everyone ok?

Optimus Prime: Yeah. I'm okay.

Bulkhead: [sits up] Ugh! My head gasket.

Ryan F-Freeman: At least, we survived.[looks at the sign on the scarecrow] Looks like we're in Halloween Town.

[Ryan leads the gang past the scarecrow and into the graveyard]

Ryan F-Freeman: Contralto, you think Thomas came through here?

Contralto: Yes, Ryan. I think he did come through here.

Crash Bandicoot: Contralto's right. Matau, can you activate your Demonbuster armor's scanner and find Thomas' signature?

Matau T. Monkey: I'll try. [checks the Demonbuster armor's scanners]

Cupcake Slash: Has it picked up anything, Matau?

Matau T. Monkey: Yes. It says that Thomas is in a place called Halloween Town.

Crash Bandicoot: That's where our friend Jack Skellington lives.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, then, come on. Let's go find him. I so don't want my boyfriend getting put under a spell by witches or eaten by monsters.

[Ryan had a vision]

Ryan F-Freeman: Ugh! What now?

[in the vision he saw himself pinned to a wall by Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk]

Ryan F-Freeman: What are Sonata and Aria doing pinning me to a wall?

[Adagio pulls out a pendant. It's like what the Dazzlings wear, and the gem is red]

Ryan F-Freeman: I know what she's going to do.

[Adagio walks up to Ryan and the gem glows]

Ryan F-Freeman: She's trying to make a Dazzlings member. I've had this vision before.

Adagio Dazzle: There's no need to fret, Ryan. At least... Not AFTER the change.[puts the pendant around Ryan's neck]

[The vision ends]

Matau T. Monkey: What vision did you see, Master Ryan?

Ryan F-Freeman: The same one. Adagio making me a Dazzlings member.

Contralto: What did Adagio say, Ryan?

Ryan F-Freeman: She said that there's no need to fret. At least.. Not AFTER the change.

Crash Bandicoot: What change?

Ryan F-Freeman: I'm not sure. She didn't really tell me.

Optimus Prime: I think it's that nightmare you have about Adagio putting a pendant on you and you becoming one of the Dazzlings.

Ryan F-Freeman: Yeah. That's probably it but I think it's something else.

Matau T. Monkey: And what would that be, Master Ryan?

Ryan F-Freeman: That's just it, Matau. I can't put my finger on it. It's all a mystery.

Rigby: What mystery? You banished to the moon by Nightmare Moon or seeing Sci-Twi transform into Midnight Sparkle?

Ryan F-Freeman: No, Rigby. About the change Adagio was talkng about.

Mordecai: You mean Adagio wants you to join the Dazzling as another siren?

Ryan F-Freeman: Not sure, Mordecai. Anyways, let's get back to looking for Thomas.

Rigby: Ok, Ryan.

[In Halloween Town]

Thomas: You're just saying that I'm not the only one who's frightened?

Jack Skellington: No. In fact, people sometimes believe us to be made up to scare naughty kids into behaving themselves.

Thomas: I guess your right, Jack.

[Suddenly, Thomas notices one of his buffers turning dark blue]

Jack Skellington: Thomas. What's this?

Thomas: What's what?

Jack Skellington: Your buffer.

Thomas: Oh, I don't know. Probably just repainted itself.

Jack Skellington: Is that good?

Thomas: Most probably. [starts to feel woozy] Oh. I feel woozy.

Jack Skellington: I think you need some rest, Thomas.

Thomas: Actually, I need to see your town's doctor. He'll be able to find out what's wrong me. I hope it's not anything serious.

Jack Skellington: Splendid. I know the perfect doctor for you, Thomas.

Thomas: You do? Who is he?

Jack Skellington: Dr. Finkelstein.

Thomas: Then let's head there immediately. I don't know what's happening to me. But at least he can figure out what's going on.

Jack Skellington: Ok, Thomas. You think that some friends of yours know you?

Thomas: [puffs along beside Jack] Yes. There's Applejack, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and many others.

[They arrive at Dr. Finkelstein's lab]

Jack Skellington: Hello, doctor. My friend Thomas has got something.

Dr. Finkelstein: [looks at Thomas' buffer] Okay. Please, come with me.

Thomas: Ok.

[Later, Dr. Finkelstein looks at Thomas]

Thomas: So, what's wrong with me, Doc?

Dr. Finkelstein: I think this is why your buffer is turning dark blue.

Thomas: What? What is? What's happening?

Jack Skellington: Calm down, Thomas. He'll tell you.

Thomas: So, what's going on, Doctor?

Dr. Finkelstein: I think that you are turning into one of the people of Halloween town.

Thomas: [gasps] Oh, no! Then that means I'll lose all memories of my friends and I'll never see them again.

Dr. Finkelstein: I don't know.

Thomas: I can't let this happen to me. Is there any known cure?

Dr. Finkelstein: Let me see in this book.

[Dr. Finkelstein checks]

Thomas: You find something, Doctor?

Dr. Finkelstein: Well, there is a spell that can reverse this process.

Thomas: What type of spell?

Dr. Finkelstein: A spell which can only be activated by King Sombra's dark magic.

Thomas: Yeah! Ryan will get King Sombra to stop this process.

[Thomas then remembers Celestia and Twilight using it]

Ryan F-Freeman: You think this is going to work, Princess Celestia?

Princess Celestia: Absolutely.

Ryan F-Freeman: Ok, King Sombra. Do your thing.

[King Sombra nods and summons all the dark magic he can. His horn starts to bubble with green and purple energy and streams of purple smoke come out of his eyes]

Ryan F-Freeman: Are you ready, Thomas?

Thomas: Mm-hmm.

[King Sombra fires his magic at Thomas]

Ryan F-Freeman: Let's hope this works, Sombra.

[Back in reality]

Thomas: [hears voices outside] There's someone outside.

Jack Skellington: Is it your friends, Thomas?

Thomas: Why don't you look out the window and see for yourself, Jack?

Jack Skellington: Ok. [does so]

[Jack looks and sees Thomas' friends below]

Crash Bandicoot: Where could Thomas be? I don't have Equestrian Magic like what Ryan has in him.

Jack Skellington: If you want to know where he is, he's up here.

Matau T. Monkey: Thanks for telling me, Jack.[to Ryan] Master Ryan. Can you transform into your Dark Ryan F-Freeman form and fly to the window?

Ryan F-Freeman: You do know, there's a door, Matau.

Matau T. Monkey: Oh yeah. But you still got Equestrian magic flowing through you?

Ryan F-Freeman: Yeah.

Contralto: Can you show your Dark Ryan F-Freeman form for us?

[Ryan does so]

Ryan F-Freeman: How do I look?

Crash Bandicoot: Cool.

Cody Fairbrother: Wow! You look like Midnight Sparkle, bro.

Ryan F-Freeman: I know! And I have Midnight Sparkle's features over my cybernetics too. And my wings are a lighter shade of blue.

Twilight Sparkle: What colour is your skin is in this form, Ryan?

Ryan F-Freeman: Dark blue.

Matau T. Monkey: Wow. You know what's on your face and forehead?

Ryan F-Freeman: Those fiery things and a horn that Midnight Sparkle has.

Brian the Crocodile: You think you can fly, Dad?[notices something on Ryan] Wow! Nice tail you got.

Ryan F-Freeman: I know! Midnight Sparkle gets the same thing.

Matau T. Monkey: Well. You think you can use magic and fly, Master Ryan?

Ryan F-Freeman: Yes. But I'll save it for a later time.

Crash Bandicoot: Ok.[to Jack] You see Ryan, Jack?

Jack Skellington: Yes, yes, yes. If you want to see Thomas, come up here.

Ryan F-Freeman: Ok, Jack. C'mon friends.

[They arrive at the top]

Matau T. Monkey: Master Ryan. Have you got info about Sharkboy and Lavagirl?

Ryan F-Freeman: Yeah. Why?

Matau T. Monkey: Because I want to know where they are.

Ryan F-Freeman: Right now, they're in their homeworld.

Matau T. Monkey: What world would that be?

Ryan F-Freeman: Inspirion.

Matau T. Monkey: I thought it was Planet Drool.

Ryan F-Freeman: Oh, yeah. Hey, Thomas.

Thomas: Hi, Ryan. AAHH!! You're in your Dark Ryan F-Freeman form??

Ryan F-Freeman: Oh, sorry. I forgot to change back. [turns back into himself] There, that better?

Thomas: Better. [sighs] You really scared me in your Dark Ryan F-Freeman form.

Ryan F-Freeman: I'm sorry. [looks at Thomas' buffer] Whoa! Your buffer's turned dark blue.

Thomas: Guess it might be that I'm starting to turn into one of the people of Halloween Town.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] Oh, Thomas. [hugs him] I don't want that to happen to you.

Ryan F-Freeman; Me too. King Sombra will fix this thing you're in.

Thomas: King Sombra? How?

Ryan F-Freeman: Princess Celestia told me about him.

Princess Celestia: He will help us fix what is wrong with you.

Thomas: That's good. Thanks, Princess Celestia.

[Thomas smiles and he grows fangs]

Matau T. Monkey: Umm, Thomas? You got fangs like Fluttershy when she is Flutterbat.

Thomas: Really? [looks in a mirror] Whoa! That is terrifying.

Crash Bandicoot: Terrifying like Ryan when he turned into Dark Ryan F-Freeman.

Ryan F-Freeman: Crash. Drop it.

Crash Bandicoot: Sorry, Ryan.

Thomas: We need to hurry.

Ryan F-Freeman: Ok. In case we need extra help, I'll summon Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Thomas: Good thinking, Batman.

Ryan F-Freeman: Thanks, Thomas. You do know that Batman is with us.

Thomas: It's a figure of speech.

Ryan F-Freeman: Oh. Thanks for telling me, Thomas. Let me summon two friends for us.

[He opens a portal and Sharkboy and Lavagirl come out]

Matau T. Monkey: Oh my G-O-S-H.

Thomas: I know, right?

Crash Bandicoot: Wow! [faints]

Lavagirl: What's up?

Ryan F-Freeman: Hi, Lavagirl. There's a problem with Thomas.

Sharkboy: What's wrong?

Matau T. Monkey: Look.[points at Thomas]

Lavagirl: Oh, you poor thing.

Thomas: Yeah. I started to turn into one of Halloween Town's people.

Lavagirl: There has to be someway to fix this.

Cody Fairbrother: I think there is, Lavagirl. With King Sombra's magic.

Lavagirl: But he's a villain.

Cody Fairbrother: I know. But if we can turn him to the good side.

Ryan F-Freeman: He can use his magic to cure Thomas.

Sharkboy: We may as well try it.

Ryan F-Freeman: That's the spirit, Sharkboy.[high fives Sharkboy and looks at Crash] Is Crash ok?

Pinkie Pie: Yeah. He's fine.

Matau T. Monkey: He must've fainted when Sharkboy and Lavagirl arrived.

Pinkie Pie: Yeah.
