Sanguine...Sanguine...
A voice echoed in the distance, or at least what sounded like the distance. Sanguine couldn't care less though, he was trying his best to enjoy some sleep.
"Sanguine if you don't get your ass out of bed then i'm detonating it again like last time." The voice said unamused
"Mrrphrphhmmrmmm..." Sanguine said back, half-awake.
Sanguine's sleep was cut-off as a loud beeping noise sounded and was slowly getting faster.
"Wha-" was all Sanguine could get out as his fluffy throne of dreamland was lit into an explosive fireball that sent him flying into the nearby wall.
"OWWW, WHAT THE F #$ AUTHOR?!" Sanguine yelled at the figure.
"Sanguine, you can call me by my proper name when you aren't in a story, remember?" The author said
"Yeah yeah, whatever TwoFatNinjas, but what gives? You said the next chapter of Destruction is Magic was going to be uploaded after Christmas Day." Sanguine said
"Indeed, but in the meantime, as not to keep the onlookers waiting, I will be making a fantastical Christmas Special!" TwoFatNinjas said
"What, you're ditching Destruction is Magic too? Remember that Kid Icarus story of yours, seems to be a pattern of you quitting at the eighth chapter, huh?" Sanguine mocked
"Shut up Sanguine, I didn't quit any of them, alright. The KIU story is on hiatus and Destruction is Magic is far from over. This is simply an amazing one-chapter story in lieu of the holiday season." TwoFatNinjas corrected
"Now get your ass in gear, and make this the best holiday special in the world!" TwoFatNinjas said as he opened a rift to Equestria.
"So what do I do exactly? Enjoy Christmas with the ponies?" Sanguine asked
"Sure...heh heh heh." TwoFatNinjas replied, chuckling.
"What's so funny?" Sanguine inquired
"Nothing! Getouttahere!" The author yelled as he drop kicked Sanguine into the dimensional rift and closed it.
"Boy is he in for a freakin' ride..." The author said
How Sanguine Saved Christmas:
Distant Field outside Equestria
Late night
A small pony wearing a cloak was out walking through the grasslands outside Equestria, spellbook in hand.
"Soon I shall perfect the ultimate spell that will be sure to make me, the great and powerful TRIXIE, the greatest sorcerer in all of Equestria!" The unicorn spell-caster yelled as her hood flew off to reveal a blue unicorn with a silvery-white mane.
"Here's a grandiose spot." She exclaimed, laying out the spellbook on the ground and flipping through some pages. Her horn began glowing blue as she chanted out the proper spell sigils. A stormy wind began whipping up.
"Through the power of the arcane, and all that confines the laws of the universe and Earth, I order thee to release the mother of all spirits that dooms merriment and mirth!"
As she finished that statement a red portal in the ground opened up and a 6-foot tall, two legged and twisted creature with a deer skull for a head popped out of the ground.
"Who dares summon Krampus-kel'thaluus from the 7th circle?!" The terrifying demon yelled out in disdain, brandishing his wicked claws.
"I, the great and powerful TRIXIE, am the greatest wizard that ever existed!" She yelled out with glee."Now Christmas demon, you will obey my every command!"
Krampus looked at the young mage with contempt.
"Trifling equine! Your arrogance will be your undoing!" The holiday demon yelled out
"B-but i'm in charge!" Trixie pleaded, but her words fell on deaf ears as Krampus fired a beam of powerful and blood-red energy from his mouth that collided with, and sent Trixie flying into a tree and out cold.
"KAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAA! Fools! Christmas is mine!" Krampus yelled as he spread his bat-like wings and took off towards an unsuspecting Ponyville.
T'was the night before Christmas,
and all through the pad
Alcohol canisters were littered to and fro
including cider bottles and cans
Not a creature was stirring
especially not Sanguine
For his BAC levels were high
and his future looked dim
"You've gotta be joking!" A female's voice rang out as the light flickered on and Twilight Sparkle walked in to find Sanguine, Pinkie Pie, and Owlicious passed out on the ground, party favors and cider bottles strewn about.
"Ooh a joke? I love jokes!" Pinkie Pie said, perking up to her usual levels of hyperactivity.
"Sanguine?! What happened?!" Twilight demanded
Sanguine sat up off the ground and looked a bit glazed, he slapped Owlicious to attention as well and the studious bird flew off of the ground and to his perch
"We...had a...god what's it called.." Sanguine slurred in blunt drunkness, racking his brain for an answer,"...uhhh, oh yeah! We had a pre-party celebration!"
"A pre-party celebration?" Twilight said unamused as she raised an eyebrow
"Yep, we celebrated the fact that we are having a Christmas celebration the old-fashioned way. With hard liquor and rave music...i'm surprised you didn't hear us." Sanguine said.
"I was out getting supplies for the ACTUAL Christmas party tonight, and not this...spectacle." Twilight said
"Aww man you should have been there, Pinkie chugged a keg of hard cider in 8 seconds flat!" Sanguine said with glee
"Pinkie!" Twilight scolded,"What did I say about consuming cider above your recommended proof level!"
"Oh, it's fine Twily!" Pinkie said,"It's in the spirit of the holidays."
"Also your bird got hammered and smashed your window..." Sanguine added, gesturing to Twilight's bedside window
"How did he go about this exactly?" Twilight asked in annoyance
"He got into the cider and head-butted the damn thing open. To be honest, it was pretty metal." Sanguine said
"Anyways, we have a party to get to!" Sanguine jested,"Where at again?"
"Town Square." Twilight said,"I've got the food."
"I've got the party favors!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed
"And I've got the smokes!" Sanguine said
"Sanguine..." Twilight warned
"Okay, I've got the hard liquor!"
"SANGUINE!"
"FINE...I've got the fun holiday spirit!" Sanguine said with heavy sarcasm.
"Good." Twilight said as the three made their way out of the door.
"...and a flask..." Sanguine muttered under his breath
Ponyville Town Square
Evening
The three entered the town square and saw around them a whole spectacle of various ponies and fillies helping to set up the Christmas party, lights food trays, music, etc. The three grouped up with the other four of the mane 6 at their appointed meeting spot.
"Hey you guys made it!" Rainbow Dash said
"I think that this is gonna be the best Christmas party that we've had in years." Applejack said
"Ehh, maybe." Sanguine said as he took a swig from his flask,"I've been to some pretty swish Christmas ragers in my lifetime, so my expectations are relatively high."
"Sanguine, where did you get that flask?" Twilight asked
"Hey, a responsible mercenary always keeps at least one flask on him at all times." Sanguine said taking another swig
"C'mon guys, it doesn't matter." Fluttershy said,"we're all here to have fun, so let's make an effort."
"All were missing is Rarity and then we can get this show on the road." Twilight said
"No need to fret, I have arrived!" Rarity exclaimed as she trotted over, wearing an exquisite dress that had a Christmas theme. The others eyed her work in an unsurprised manner
"Rarity, this was supposed to be a casual party." Twilight said
"Yeah, overcompensating a little, don't you think?" Sanguine said, taking another swig
"Oh hush you!" Rarity said to Sanguine,"There may be some big-wig fashionistas at this party and I want to be sure that I look dazzling to their eyes!"
"Whatever, look the party's starting anyway, we should get going." Sanguine said
30 Minutes Later
Sanguine was talking to a few ponies about his various adventures, when Pinkie Pie trotted over and nagged his attention.
"Hold on guys, I need to take this." Sanguine said to the others
Pinkie brought Sanguine off to the side and away from public ears.
"I'm not sure why, but my Pinkie sense is telling me that something BAD is about to happen." Pinkie said somewhat worried
"You sure that's not the cider?" Sanguine asked
Just as he said that there was an audible series of gasps as the music was cut short and the crowd dissipated away from the center to reveal a very angry Krampus.
"Alright, where is that shoddy half-wit Sanguine, I KNOW THAT YOU LIVE HERE CARBIDE! SHOW YOURSELF!" He yelled out
"Told you." Pinkie whispered
Sanguine walked over to engage Krampus
"There you are..." The demon said
"Well well welly well well, if it ain't Menstrual Krampus!" How's it been buddy?!" Sanguine said mockingly
"For the millionth time Carbide, IT'S NOT MENSTRUAL KRAMPUS!" He yelled,"I'm here to get revenge for when you sealed me away all those years ago!"
"Actually, that was Santa Clause that sealed you away, I just beat the ever-loving shit out of you, but Santa did the important part."
"Regardless, you're here now and I'm going to kill you, your friends, and the Christmas Holiday as a whole!" The holiday demon proclaimed as he roared out.
"Yawn," Sanguine said,"Tell me something else new, I defeated you once, I'll do it again."
"We'll see about that!" The demon yelled as he grabbed Sanguine by the neck, threw him out over the horizon and flew after after him.
"Sanguine!" Twilight yelled in despair
"Come on girls, we have to go help!" Twilight said as she and the other five raced after the two.
Sanguine flew for a while in the sky into what he thought was the grasslands, before he crashed he flipped back, caught himself, and landed on his feet. He looked up and saw Krampus land as well, as the wicked creature outstretched his sharp claws.
"Welp, were in open grounds now, we gonna fight or what?" Sanguine asked, as he stretched his arms and legs.
"Quite, but this time I will destroy Christmas once and for all, you see before I confronted you I decided to pay Santa a visit..."
Sanguine dropped his smirk
"Let's just say that Clause won't be checking his list twice this year, OR AT ALL FOR THAT MATTER! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Krampus yelled with joy
"You...son...of...a...BITCH!" Sanguine yelled,"You killed Santa?!" HOW DARE YOU!"
Sanguine speed blitzed the malevolent monster before he could even look up, and he charged up his fist with the raging fires of vengeance.
"Back to the 7th circle with you!" Sanguine said as the punch made contact with Krampus' skull face.
Krampus stood there and was virtually unaffected by the hit.
"What?" Sanguine said
Krampus grabbed Sanguine's wrist and threw him in the opposite direction.
"Like I said, I have evolved since our last encounter. Not only have I trained in hell these past years, but I also absorbed the essence of Christmas cheer when I destroyed Santa Clause." Krampus said devilishly as a fiery red aura began emanating from him.
"i'm going to finish this once and for all." Krampus said as he took a low stance and began transforming.
Red aura erupted from the demon as the ground shook and rubble began levitating it's way upwards.
"CRAP!" Sanguine thought as he attempted to prevent Krampus from transforming
Sanguine dashed at the demon and began rapidly punching and kicking the jolly beelzebub with all his might in an effort to stop him. Krampus shrugged off all of Sanguine's blows and couldn't help but laugh at Sanguine's pitiful effort.
"ENOUGH!" Krampus yelled as red aura exploded outward, sending Sanguine flying back towards a grassy knoll. The mane six arrived just as Sanguine landed on the hill
"Oh hey guys." Sanguine said,"Um, not really a good time."
Krampus stepped out of the fiery smoke of his aura and was now a scary 9-foot Satan straight out of Diablo III.
"Come out and play, Carbide!" Krampus yelled out as he slithered around looking for Sanguine
Sanguine ducked behind the knoll with the others and briefed them.
"Listen, this guy is a lot stronger than I planned for, so I'm gonna fight him off as best I can and if I die, make sure they bury me with a nice suit." Sanguine assured
"We wanna help!" Rainbow Dash said
"Not gonna happen, look this guy will KILL you in an instant, all he wants is me and Christmas, and if sacrificing myself is what it takes to keep you girls safe, then it's a price i'm willing to pay!" Sanguine said
Sanguine leapt over the hill and flew at Krampus, rasengan at the ready. Krampus whipped around and caught Sanguine by the neck with his prehensile tail before he could make contact.
"Decided to join me after all." Krampus said,"I'm gonna enjoy watching you die."
Krampus slammed and dragged Sanguine into the ground by his face and threw him wayward. Sanguine charged up a ki blast and oustretched his arm to fire it. As the blast flew forward and made contact with Krampus' face, he shrugged it off, and with his razor sharp tail, he sliced Sanguine's arm clean off at the shoulder.
"OWIE!" Sanguine yelped as his severed arm collapsed onto the ground a ways away.
Krampus slammed his tail downward in Sanguine's direction. Sanguine dodge-rolled out of the way and grabbed his arm off the ground before teleporting a distance from Krampus. Sanguine reattached his arm at the stump and stretched his now healed arm as he charged up.
"Hmph, so you've evolved a healing factor since our last encounter." Krampus smirked
"Hey, I changed too ya know." Sanguine said,"For instance I learned this gem while you were banished."
Sanguine gritted his teeth as aura began surrounding him.
"Kaio-ken...TIMES...20!" Sanguine screamed out as he exploded with fiery blue aura.
"Kaio-what?" Krampus said before Sanguine appeared out of thin air and side-kicked Krampus into the air. The Christmas demon flailed into the sky as Sanguine followed up his assault by slamming the demon's back into his knee and snapping it like a twig.
"GRAHHAHHH!" Krampus cried out.
Sanguine finished by pile-driving the fiend into the ground below. Krampus flew down and hit the ground hard enough to make a sizable crater.
The mane 6 watched on in awe and Rainbow Dash was the only one actively cheering.
"WOO! Go Sanguine!" She yelled out
Sanguine teleported to the ground and crossed his arms with gusto.
"Had enough Krampus?" Sanguine said
"Heh, I'm just getting started!" Krampus said, cracking his back into place,"I'll admit, you're much stronger than the last time we fought, but...THIS BATTLE ISN'T OVER YET!.
Krampus leapt head on towards Sanguine with his fist at the ready, Sanguine, anticipating this, dodged backwards and met the Devil's onslaught of fury with his own. The two exchanged blow for blow ala Dragon Ball until Sanguine fired a ray of light at Krampus that temporarily blinded him as Sanguine leapt back to gain distance. Out of his peripheral vision he noticed the mane 6, a bit dangerously close to the action for Sanguine's comfort.
"You girls need to move back, I'm serious, this dude's no joke." Sanguine exasperated as his knees shook.
"Sanguine look at you, you're exhausted!" Fluttershy said,"We can help you out, honest."
"No, you girls can't, he'll kill you or worse..." Sanguine dreaded trying to stay conscious.
"Just trust us Sanguine, we have some tricks up our sleeves." Twilight reassured, smiling at the tired mercenary.
"Alright, alright...fine." Sanguine said,"Jump in and tag me out if things start getting a bit too hairy, okay?"
"You got it!" Rainbow Dash said, saluting.
"Try not to die..." Sanguine said,"I would never forgive myself."
As the Christmas Devil regained his eyesight, he sought out Sanguine in a liquid rage, he wrapped his long tail around the mercenary's neck as he swung him around and back into the ground below.
"You little Jackass!" Krampus yelled," Do you know how much prescription lenses go for in Hell?!" Lucifer's going to ride my ass for YEARS to make up for lost eyesight!"
"Trust me Menstrual Krampus, you won't be needing glasses..." Sanguine said darkly
"What do you mean Carbide?!" Krampus snarled
Sanguine answered the demon by warping in front of him and slapping both his hands over the holiday devil's eye sockets.
"WHAT THE?!" The demon yelled out in surprise as he flailed hugs razor sharp tail around him, attempting to detach the mercenary of of him in a blind panic.
"Back to the stony depths of hell you go!" Sanguine yelled out as he fired two energy blasts into the beasts eyes and into his head. Krampus screamed out in agony as his eyes were seared shut. He managed to fling Sanguine off of him and attempt to readjust.
Krampus reeled as he held his hands over his cauterized eyes.
"Y-You...You pesky, annoying, arrogant little lunatic! YOU BLINDED ME!" Krampus screamed out at Sanguine
"So?" Sanguine said back
"SO?!" Krampus screamed in disbelief,"Grrrrr...PLAYTIMES OVER CARBIDE! YOU DIE NOW!"
Krampus powered up in a burning rage as explosive energy flew outwards, the tyrant exploded forward as he rocketed at Sanguine. The mercenary attempted to block Krampus' incoming attacks, but the enraged cretin's raw power pushed through Sanguine's defenses. Sanguine flew back as Krampus continued his assault by laying down an unseeable combo of blows to his opponents back, face, arms, legs, and just about anywhere else he could punch and gouge. After thy demon's quick succession of attacks he finished Sanguine off by stabbing through his chest with his razor tail and flinging the defeated mercenary into the ground beside him.
"Heh...heh ha ha ahahaHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA!" Krampus roared,"I win Carbide! Your holiday is doomed!"
Sanguine didn't respond as his head began ringing and his vision became blurry, he could feel the life slipping from him as he knew his healing factor couldn't possibly be fast enough to keep up if Krampus persisted.
"And now to relish the moment I've been waiting 567 years for! Your demise!" Krampus smirked as he raised his foot over Sanguine's head
Before the Christmas demon could snuff Sanguine from existence, a bright magic blast hit him upside the head. He turned his attention towards the mane 6, who were staring Krampus down and ready to deal damage.
"Not so fast Krampus!" Twilight said with confidence backing her voice."You'll have to go through us if you want to harm our friend any further."
Krampus smirked at the mare as he responded.
"Oh yeah? What's stopping me from crushing him now?" Krampus said as he started to bring his foot down onto Sanguine, before his foot hit the ground, a rainbow blur whizzed by and scooped the defeated mercenary from the ground.
"Huh?!" Krampus said in surprise as he crushing foot put a sizeable dent in the ground, but yielded no dead merc.
"We have a Rainbow Dash." Pinkie said as Rainbow Dash slumped Sanguine against a tree nearby.
The Rainbow pony flew back to join the others and threw them all a gilded pendant that each equipped.
"Hmph, what's this? A pitiful last resort?" Krampus said unamused
"Anything but!" Twilight said."Krampus, we will use the Elements of Harmony to vanquish you from these lands and bring peace back to Equestria!"
You can try." Krampus said,"I'll still destroy all of you, starting with that godforsaken MERCENARY!"
Krampus dashed towards the tree where Sanguine lay and readied his claws set to rip Sanguine apart. Before he could get any closer he was halted in his tracks by a bright purple barrier. He smashed through it and continued onwards, but was interrupted again as he was grabbed by a large magic fist and was hurled into a nearby boulder. He looked up to see the six ponies brandishing their various magics and strengths, ready to take on Krampus.
"This is getting annoying..." Krampus said in an intimidating tone of voice.
"Likewise." Applejack said back.
The combatants all flew at each other as they clashed with all their might.
Meanwhile, back where Sanguine was he was awake long enough to somewhat see the action that was ensuing. He saw Krampus break off and begin dashing towards him, with burning energy in his hands, trying once more to kill Sanguine. Krampus was tackled into a hillside by Rainbow Dash before he could reach him as he ponies battle raged on. Sanguine blacked out from the pain as he saw nothing but darkness...
He felt as if he were floating in an ocean of nothingness until a bright white light flashed before him, damn near blinding the guy before a voice rang out from the light.
"Sanguine...Sanguine...you must keep fighting...Sanguine..."
This voice...it sounded familiar to him, it sounded like...Santa Clause!
"S-santa? Is that you?" Sanguine said to the light
"Aye, it is me my son." Santa said
"I thought Krampus ate you?" Sanguine said to the jolly bearded paragon of cheer.
"He did, but he can't get rid of me that easily, look Sanguine. I need you to keep fighting, to stay strong...for Christmas!" Santa said
"I have no energy left Santa, I'm close to death, I don't think I can keep going." Sanguine said, defeated
"Sanguine, you can do anything with the power of Christmas and joy on your side." Santa reassured
"You think?" Sanguine asked
"I know," Santa said,"Sanguine, with my last remaining ounce of power, I will help you defeat Krampus once and for all!"
"Sanguine." Santa added
"Yes Santa?" Sanguine replied
"I'm trapped in the beast's head, avenge me." Santa said
"I will." Sanguine reassured
Santa grabbed Sanguine's shoulders as he began to glow, Santa started turning into golden dust as he engulfed Sanguine with the power of holiday cheer and cookies. Sanguine could feel himself become well again, and at the same time more powerful than he ever felt. Sanguine charged up as he exploded with the power of pure Christmas. He immediately opened his eyes and was far more aware of his surroundings, he stood up and saw Krampus holding a bruised Fluttershy by the neck. He noticed the other ponies strewn about, badly defeated and Twilight struggling to stand up. Sanguine clenched his teeth as he hungered for justice.
"I wonder how fast I could dissect you, pony." Krampus spat with joyful malice as Fluttershy began crying.
An enormous explosion of white light erupted from the hilltop as Sanguine's holy Christmas-infused voice proclaimed the demon's imminent demise.
"You won't be harming anyone else Krampus!" Sanguine echoed out.
Krampus, Fluttershy, and Twilight all turned their attention towards the paragon of holiday fury as they noticed he was cloaked in bright white energy from all over and his hair stood up on ends.
"Sanguine!" Fluttershy yelled out with joy.
Krampus dropped the mare on the ground and turned his attention towards the holiday mercenary.
"Decided to finally join the fight?!" Krampus yelled as he flew towards Sanguine claws at the ready.
He brought his deadly hand down upon Sanguine with all his might. Sanguine lashed out his hand and caught the beelzebub's fist, catching him by surprise.
"No," Sanguine said,"I've decided to finish it."
"WHAT?!" Krampus yelled out in disbelief,"IMPOSSIBLE! YOU WERE ALMOST DEAD ONE MINUTE AGO!"
"Anything is possible with the power of Santa." Sanguine said as he brought back both his hands and thunder clapped Krampus on the skull, causing it to flash and produce pure whit energy that expelled out of it as the holiday demon flew back.
Sanguine collected the expelled energy and absorbed it, causing him to explode with red and green energy as he illuminated the countryside with his might and power.
"It's over Krampus." Sanguine said. The demon, without his source of power, reverted back to his weakened and impish form.
Krampus collapsed to his knees as he was drained of energy.
"W-who are you..." The weakened Krampus stammered out.
"I am the hope of the cheerful, the last bastion of light for all those who cry out for whiskey. I am Sanguine Carbide and I am the feared Holiday Sanguine!" Holiday Sanguine said.
Sanguine raised up his hand as he pointed it at Krampus.
"I think we got off on the wrong foot here buddy, whats say we settle this over a pint?" Krampus said
"I'll pass." Sanguine said,"Besides, I think Satan misses his favorite butt-buddy!"
Holiday Sanguine fired a brightly colored red and green blast of energy that spanned over the plains as he vaporized every last molecule of Krampus' being in an instant.
"Whew, well that's over with." Holiday Sanguine said as he relaxed himself and allowed the energy to seep off of him and materialize into the reborn Santa Clause.
"SANTA! You're back!" Sanguine said with joy
"All thanks to you, Krampus is gone and Christmas has been saved once more." Santa Clause said
Sanguine noticed the main 6, still damaged from their fight with Krampus.
"Hey Santa." Sanguine said
"Yes Sanguine?" Santa replied
"Could you help heal my friends?" He asked
"Anything for my favorite savior." Santa said as he worked his Christmas magic to reinvigorate the ponies and bring them back to full health. As they rose from the ground and stretched out they rejoined Sanguine and Santa Clause.
"Sanguine, you're alive! Thank goodness." Twilight said with relief
"Who's the fat guy?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"PINKIE!" Rarity said,"You can't just say that about people!"
"Oh ho ho, it's fine young pony. I am Santa Clause!" The jolly bearded man said
"You're the Santa Sanguine's been talking so much about? The same one that brings people gifts and happiness?" Applejack asked
Ho ho ho, indeed!" Santa replied,"Sanguine and I have been in league for many years now. Without his help, Christmas would have surely been doomed."
"Well hey now, these girls saved my bacon too, they deserve just as much praise." Sanguine vouched
"Fair enough." Santa said,"as a reward, I will grant you each ONE wish!"
Really? Well, I wish for diamonds!" Rarity said
just as she finished that, Diamonds began to rain upon her from above until a mountain of jewels remained. Rarity popped out with joy of all the jewels she obtained.
"Sweet Celestia! Look at all these DIAMONDS!" Rarity yelled out
"I swear to god Rarity, you're fueling this place's economy..." Sanguine said
"I wish for a good harvest this season." Applejack said
"Granted." Santa said
"I wish for a jetpack!" Rainbow Dash said as a Jetpack appeared on the pony's back.
"Rainbow, you can already fly." Twilight said in unamusement.
"I know, but how many times are you gonna get to tell people that you own a JETPACK!" Rainbow Dash retorted.
"I wish that all my animals had warm clothes for the winter season." Fluttershy requested.
"It is done." Santa said.
"I wish for more studying books for my library." Twilight said
"Done." Santa said
"I wish for the greatest Christmas party ever!" Pinkie Pie said
"Agreed." Sanguine said
"And you Sanguine, what do you wish for?" Santa asked
"Well, I wish that the author would have finished this story two months ago, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. So I wish for booze. Lots and lots of booze." Sanguine said.
"It's done." Santa said
"Well, if all is said and done, I must get going if we're gonna get Christmas going this year." Santa said, summoning his sleigh.
"Um, Santa?" Sanguine said
"Yes Sanguine." Santa responded
"Could you get us back to Ponyville? We're kinda carrying a lot here." Sanguine said
"Ho Ho Ho, of course I can! With the power of Christmas, anything is possible!" Santa said
"What about the power of frienshi-" Twilight began
"Shh Shh...it's Christmas for this story, just keep it on the down low." Sanguine whispered
"Close your eyes, all of you." Santa said
Everyone present closed their eyes.
"Now...open." Santa said
As everyone opened their eyes, they all saw that they were in Twilight's library and that Santa was gone.
"Damn he's good at that." Sanguine said
The group heard music going on downstairs and left the room they were in to discover that Pinkie's wish had come true and that a proper Christmas style rager was going.
"Well, all we're missing is my wish..." Sanguine said
As he finished saying that hundreds of hard liquor bottles and cider barreled out of a nearby cupboard.
"I see you Santa..." Sanguine said
As the party went on into the night, one could hear as Santa crossed over the various cities of Equestria, spreading joy and holiday spirit for all to enjoy.
"Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night! Santa said
"CHRISTMAS ENDED ALREADY! IT'S FEBRUARY AUTHOR! C'MON!" Sanguine screamed out.
Hey all, TwoFatNinjas here...
Guess what, IM NOT ACTUALLY DEAD! Yay!
However, my work schedule has been interfering with my story writing, so much so that my planned Christmas special was TWO MONTHS LATE. So I apologize for that, I really do.
I don't know when I'll be able to get back into a comfortable writing time, I know it won't be soon because there's too much happening as of now. So I cannot make any promises as of now, but I know for a fact I can get back my groove during the summer, so that I may finish both of my stories.
Until next time, however far along that may be, stay frosty,
TwoFatNinjas
