Chapter One

They arrived at the doorstep, with the first quarter of the tournament done with everyone would have normally been discharged to relax. But Noire said it would be nice for the All-Stars to have quality time for the holidays. For the most part anyway… Some felt forcefully dragged a bit, others just wanted social hour, and then there were those who just wanted to cause trouble.

Naturally, trouble came usually from Sweet Tooth, so most had to keep an eye on him. Didn't help that he was told to bring out the Christmas Cake. "I'm usually used to making things with ice cream in them. Not saying I can't whip up other sweets, but-"

"Just don't poison them is all we ask. Or anything else knowing you." The clown growled a bit, Sackboy taking away the drug bottle from him and giving a look of disapproval. Pupuru could see it from the corner, working on her dish. "It's tempting for me to do that right now but…" Her words trailed off.

Sweet Tooth chuckled a bit at that last part. Kuu continued giving him a hateful stare, he didn't trust him needless to say. Then again, no one really did, Kuu didn't like any males around his partner though. And having a psychotic clown was one of the worst that could be near.

"You could at least put a shirt on Kane." Toro said nervously, preparing a fish. They were all put in charge of different things. Sackboy and Sweet Tooth were preparing the sweets, which were going to be quickly consumed by Fat Princess if they didn't plan ahead.

On the other end, Pupul and Toro were doing main courses. The cat worked with a sushi store owner, so he had enough history of what could be done with fish. He already finished working on the salmon, some rolls, shrimp puffs, and even lobster.

Pupul was an expert with spices, as expected from where she comes from and collects materials for a living. "Kuu, wanna test taste for me?" The little creature hopped up, shoving a spoonful of curry into himself. He had a look of satisfaction. "That's the mild and sweet plate. You wouldn't mind trying the strong one, would you?"


Noire usually didn't do much for Christmas, so it was a bit of a surprise when most of the All-Stars accepted her invite to come over. She always anticipated that Neptune would say yes, but not everyone else. Granted, some were forcefully dragged over, such examples were Heihachi and Doctor Nefarious. He preferred being to himself, but was dragged in by Zeus.

Most didn't expect Zeus to be not be his usual self, yet lo and behold, he wanted to dress like Santa as a surprise. Kratos wasn't too happy about him showing up, as he himself was forced not only by his rival; Sweet Tooth, but Scorpion and Neptune. "I'm surprised you even wanted to come here." The god of war mumbled to the ninja. "Don't you have better things to do?"

Scorpion was quiet for a moment. "You should be glad to come here, where would you go if we didn't drag you?" He didn't answer. "I came here because I wanted to, and… Because I don't really know what holidays are. I don't really have anyone to be around for." Feeling guilty for a moment, Kratos tilted his head down. He partially knew what that was like, no family to be with since they were killed.

"Hey! Don't make this into a sad moment! We're here for you, and that's what matters! Right Grimm?" Nepnep chirped, the reaper not wanting to answer. "Well, I am! And I'm sure upon hearing that, Kratos is too!" Kratos growled a bit, not wanting to remember those events. He and Scorpion were rivals. Not in the same way as he was to Sweet Tooth, or the spector to Sub-Zero's brother. More-so in a 'who can be the most brutal opponent' kind of way.

The only time they really agreed on something, is when they were both forced to go through a nightmarish land and kill Freddy Krueger. But that's a story for another time…

By the time Pupul came out along with Toro with dinner. Uni was already pouring drinks for everyone. "Yo! No one told me you two could cook!" PaRappa said, the sorceress just giggled in delight as the plates were put down carefully. "Smells delicious too! When do we start?"

All of them sat down, Sweet Tooth finally came out of the kitchen. "Sackboy is preparing dessert, I'm guessing he wanted us to start without him while he gets everything else ready." Princess Plump felt her eyes beam up from that statement.

"Does anyone have any stupid words to say before we dig in? I hate those speeches." Evil Cole said with a cocky grin. Noire was about to raise her glass before she was interrupted by him. "Alright then! Chow time!" The goddess of Lastation went ignored, something she didn't like in the slightest, especially from her own creations and a fellow goddess.

Normal Cole shook his head a bit, annoyed by his counterpart's rude behavior on Christmas night. No one noticed Pupul instantly leave the dining room while Kuu was getting a chair for her. Sir Daniel lifted his drink for a sip, only then realizing he had no jaw, and it spilled onto his armor.

He tried to cover it up with a napkin despite Radec already seeing it. The colonel chuckled under his gas-mask, he began to remove it. "Are you always this idiotic? I'm starting to question your IQ levels." Dan did not take that lightly, but chose to let it go for now. Evil Cole ended up laughing with him though.

Going toward the large plate between him and Scorpion, Dan took a spoonful for his own plate. The spector had a look of worry for Fortesque. "Uh, Fortesque?" Kuu found himself smiling a bit too now. "I'm not sure if you want to try and eat that..."

"What?" He mumbled. "I can eat! Really! And drink, it was just a slip up! Don't hold it against me for the whole meal, alright?" Scorpion didn't bother stopping him after that. Daniel took in what was in front of him. No spilling this time, but when he swallowed it, his eye watered.

... And then his jawless maw spit out fire. "That's what I was trying to tell you. It's extra spicy and strong curry, don't eat if you can't handle it." Scorpion sighed, able to handle the powerful taste much easier. "If you were used to such like I am, that would not have happened." Evil Cole and Kuu were cracking up once more, even Mael Radec found himself unable to contain laughter from his rival's misfortune. The only bystander to help was Abe, who got ice-cold water for Dan.

Such events were short-lived when Pupuru returned to take the chair Kuu was saving. Slamming down the seat, wedging herself between Radec and Dan. "Hope I wasn't keeping anyone waiting! I didn't want to be in my kitchen clothes." Sir Daniel was too busy cooling off his mouth with the water to even notice she came back.

"I smell lavender." Evil Cole commented once more. "Lemme guess, wanna be near your boyfriend so you prettied yourself up?" She nodded, he gave his trademark scoff of amusement. Daniel found himself now chuckling in the misery of his rival, turning the tables on Radec.

Mael gave a hateful glare to that comment. "Excuse yourself, but I am not in a relation with this sorceress." Once again, good bystander Abe chose to cover the ears of Little Sister. Big Daddy gave a groan of disapproval, but then saw he was doing the right thing by Radec's next comment. "She is only fourteen. And I am not up for her underage advances. If she was older, had her more diabolical and sadistic side, then I would consider it for a moment. There need to be more people like me in the world."

A snicker came from Daniel while Evil Cole responded again. "More people like you would sooner end everything of Lastation. Unless you want that, you could have kids. Lose your virginity much quicker since you clearly died one." Pupul hid herself under the tablecloth in embarrassment a little. Daxter spat out his drink, spraying all over Clank by accident.

"Please keep fluids that were already drank or in the process to yourself..." Drying himself off, he responded before Radec pulled out his gun on Evil Cole. "There are plenty like Colonel Radec already around, some in the Helghan and still alive. There is this high-ranked man in the Helghast empire named Jorhan Stahl who lived from a-"

Slamming his hand against the table which made Pupul jump and hit her head, Mael pointed his gun at the robot. "Do NOT compare him to me! And I am no virgin!" Ratchet pulled out one of his own weapons, willing to defend his partner by any cost. Evil Cole felt the power flowing through him and nearly ready to attack.

Only by now did Mr. Grimm feel his attention grabbed a bit. "Oooh, someone's going to die? Could I have their souls? I'm not up for eating this mortal food. All I had for breakfast was birds." Blasto had finished off the last of the salmon.

"Aye, what is wrong with you all the time?" Sweet Tooth grumbled. "That all you think about? I'm a psychotic guy in a clown outfit who loves ice cream and killed his own family, but all you care about is the souls of others including animals and when their death sentence is? Get a hobby!"

Upon that, Scorpion cringed. "You KILLED your own family?!" Kratos knew where this was going. "My rival is not the monster, you are, freak!" Sweet Tooth narrowed his eye, Abe was now escorting Little Sister out of the dining hall with Big Daddy.

"I think I gotta go to the bathroom." Daxter said, getting up... Until he saw Sackboy enter with the large chocolate cake. "Whoops! Nevermind, I can hold it!" The moment he came in, Sweet Tooth had to protect the burlap sack-toy from Fat Princess lunging at the sweets.

While Noire was just watching everything going on around her by now, Pupul got back up from the table and began to childishly beat her hands against Radec's sides. "What do you mean you're not a virgin before I got here?! You jerk!" Isaac Clarke found himself now laughing about the predicament.

Sackboy finally got to put the cake onto the table so Plump couldn't reach. "Make sure to just deliver a slice to Little Sister and Bubbles... Abe had to get them away from the chaos." Noire said with a sigh. Sweet Tooth managed to sit down next to his rival, he and Scorpion giving stares of dislike to each other. Uni grinned a bit at this.

"Can't let anyone ruin this now, especially you cupcake! Last year for Christmas you gave me an IOU for that ice cream! I expect more this yea-"

"Yes! I've always wanted to say this!" Noire knew what her little sister was about to do, but was too late to stop it. "MERRY CHRISTMAS! HO-HO-HO-HOMOSEXUALS!" Everyone jumped at Uni's sudden burst, Kratos took a moment to process that entirely before he understood and wanted to react.

… React by jumping at the younger goddess. "Hades awaits you, goddess who wishes to mock me!" Stopped only by Neptune throwing her plate of mild curry at him. "Gah!… You! You will pay for that! Feel my wrath!" Grabbing the closest thing, he tossed the olive oil at Nepnep, ruining her hair.

Mr. Grimm caught hold of Blasto's plate to toss at Kratos in defense of Nepnep. The god of war dodged it, as the china broke on Sweet Tooth's head instead. He nearly had a concussion from the impact, but managed to keep himself up. "Oh, we're playing this game then? Well take this then, Grimmy!"

Taking all the uneaten shrimp puffs, he tried to throw them into Mr. Girmm's eye-sockets. Instead it hit Scorpion, Sweet Tooth gulped a bit, as the spector got up. "Get over here!" He shouted, shooting his speared-chain at the clown and pulling him over across the table.

With little options available at hand only Sir Daniel could save the cake from being ruined. Removing his arm to grab it, Fat Princess was eyeballing it, before long she began running over to Dan to take it. Taking the sweets with his other hand, he accidentally tossed the other limb at Radec who was right next to him.

"You… I'm finished with!" With one arm missing, Sir Daniel made a break for it, now trying to avoid both Plump and Mael. Lacking one of his arms made it too difficult to balance, Kat took over for him with her gravity powers to keep the cake in place while Dan ran around to keep Radec off of him.

Throughout all that, Pupul joined in for fun and to hold down Radec, followed by Spike trying to prevent that along with Fat Princess now going after Kat. Nathan Drake caught something at the corner of his eye, now seeing that Sly was trying to take the vase off the table. "Hey squirrel boy! Cut that out!" He tossed Sir Dan's arm at him, which was dodged. In retaliation, the raccoon threw an alarm clock at Nate.

"Cole! Catch!" Kat yelled, Cole managed to catch the cake and cookies with his telekinesis, now it was his turn to be . Radec was tired of chasing the knight, lifting up the spicy plate he threw it in Sir Daniel's direction. It landed right onto his face, as he ran around like he was on fire now. Mael grinned at his perfect aim, but not for long as Pupul tackled him from behind.

Spike tried to pull Pupuru off, but felt himself blinded by Kuu latching onto his face for no reason. "Food fight!" Shouted Daxter, as he grabbed the rolls and threw them right at Kuro.

Trying to prevent more outbreak, Jak grabbed his partner. "Dax! No!" That is, until he felt a lobster claw his the side of his face. It coming from Doc Nefarious who just cackled at them. "… You know what Dax?" He handed him a plate of food. "Be my guest." Daxter grinned with him, aiming for the robotic man who felt the dome on his head cracked from the toss.

Everyone was causing a massacre now.

Heihachi felt mochi from Toro being thrown at him,

Cole was doing a round-about with Kat and Emmett to avoid Fat Princess,

Scorpion was beating Sweet Tooth's face in,

Dan was trying to rid of the fires in his maw,

Grimm was holding off Kratos to keep him away from Neptune,

Spike was trying to remove Kuu from his face while PaRappa and Sackboy helped,

Pupul was… Smothering Radec,

Nariko and Donte got into an argument that led to things being thrown,

eventually Ratchet and Blasto got involved as well for no reason.

The only ones being normal were Isaac Clarke, Clank, Raiden, and Dart. Kat was now confused, letting Evil Cole and not the normal one catch the cake this time. Noire was beyond angry at this point. "Stop! Stop it at once! Continue such and I-"

She didn't get a word in, as the cake was mashed right into her. Covered in chocolate, ruining her dress and hair. "Who… Did that?" Everyone stopped, knowing that the sweets were gone. They all stared at Evil Cole, who then Fat Princess pointed at.

It was silent for a whole minute. Noire got out of her seat and left the dining hall, opening the door to leave to her room. "I hope you are all happy with what you have caused around you. I will not be celebrating with any of you again sometime soon." Clank wanted to stop her and explain it better, but it was too late, she and Uni left.

Little did they know, someone from the outside had witnessed the events. The unknown figure left a package at the front door and fled.

Don't worry, there's going to be more chapters than this, probably three? It's a mini-story, so…))
