Let's begin...
I just hope I don't spend a long time like 2005's one...
000000000000000000000000000
To start off with our Christmas story, we witness an employment opportunity for a suffering Digimon as he speaks to another suffering character.
"Will you take the job?" Knuckles asked.
BlackGuilmon nodded. "Yes, I will..."
Knuckles glanced at the sheet and smirked. "Do you have any idea what sort of job you're taking?"
BlackGuilmon shrugged. "Who cares... just as long as I get away from Mine, Minor and Miner..."
"Who?" Knuckles asked.
"A orange ogre answering phones, thinking they're take-away shops... a seagull that's currently a ninja... and an idiot who somehow makes the Fourth Wall look like a piece of cake!" BlackGuilmon muttered.
Knuckles shook his head. "Well, if you're willing to be working with us... you have to know that this job involves Christmas plays. You'll be working as my right-hand man... or mon... and you'll have your own assistant to help you."
BlackGuilmon nodded. "No problem... an easy job, at long last..."
Knuckles sweatdropped. "Easy... right..." He coughed. "Want to meet your assistant...? He's outside..."
BlackGuilmon nodded. "Of course. I'm sure this guy is smart, gifted and will understand my pain..."
SkullSatamon walked in. "Howdy. Where's my partner?"
BlackGuilmon was busy bashing against a locked door. "LET ME OUT!!! LET ME OUT!!! LET ME OUT!!!"
SkullSatamon smiled. "Aww... he's happy..."
Megaman chuckled as he twirled a bunch of keys around. "Good thing I locked the door the moment BlackGuilmon accepted this job. Remind me why you've hired SkullSatamon...?"
"He's working with us for a very reasonable price..." Knuckles muttered.
Megaman nodded. "Oh yeah... one cheeseburger per hour..."
"Well, he's not smart..." Knuckles said, rolling his eyes. "Of course, if he was smart, someone would replace him as the idiot Digimon of Lucemon's group..."
"And why did you allow BlackGuilmon to partner up with SkullSatamon...?" Megaman asked.
Knuckles got up. "He's one of the few Digimon that can withstand SkullSatamon's stupidity..."
"LET ME OUT!!! LET ME OUT!!! LET ME OUT!!!" BlackGuilmon screamed.
Megaman sweatdropped. "Sure..."
And thus, the greatest production team of this year's Christmas play has been set up... can anyone tell that I'm lying?
Now, the main question is... what's this year's Christmas play going to be... well, someone made a suggestion to BlackGuilmon and Knuckles... and I think they like it.
"Kyodaikyu Sentai Draranger...?" BlackGuilmon asked, reading a piece of paper. "Who came up with this idea?"
SkullSatamon smiled and waved. "Hello."
BlackGuilmon sighed. "I admit... I have the unfortunate tendency to ask simple, daft questions that relate to him..."
Knuckles shook his head. "OK, SkullSatamon... Kyodai is Japanese for Mega and Kyu means Dragon... Sentai is the series that the Power Rangers are based on, so... what is your Draranger based on?"
SkullSatamon grinned. "The Dragon Warriors!"
"The Dra-Warriors?!" BlackGuilmon asked. "Ninjadramon, Samuridramon, Herodramon, Luzdramon, Panzerdramon and Flamedramon!? Why are you basing it on them?!"
"Actually... I'm not basing it on them... they ARE the Drarangers!" SkullSatamon said, grinning.
BlackGuilmon sighed. "Oh, here we go..."
SkullSatamon brought out a tape recorder. "Seeing as their little group is kinda like the Power Rangers, they've made a tape of the Draranger roll call, which I helped to make."
"You helped...? YOU helped?!" BlackGuilmon repeated. "This play is going to be a disaster and I've only just started..."
Knuckles glared at BlackGuilmon. "Quiet... SkullSatamon, play the tape..."
SkullSatamon nodded and pressed a button. "You got it... it's not working...?"
BlackGuilmon sighed. "That's the STOP button, you fool..."
"Oops..." SkullSatamon muttered, pressing the PLAY button. "Here we go..."
"Legendärer entscheidender Drache, Ninjadramon!"
"Loyaler Ritterdrache, Herodramon!"
"Mystisch shuriken Drachen, Samuridramon!"
"Schneller Drache des Blitzes, Galaxiadramon!"
"Großer Energie Drache, Armeddramon!"
"Schützen Sie die Digital Welt vor Übel! Kyodaikyu Sentai Draranger!"
Knuckles sweatdropped. "Something is wrong here..."
BlackGuilmon sighed. "You think...? SkullSatamon helped them... what do you expect?"
SkullSatamon smiled. "What do you think?"
"I tell you what I think!" BlackGuilmon snapped. "I think it's..."
"Sentai is a Japanese program!" Knuckles said, putting his hand over BlackGuilmon's mouth. "Why did you name the Dra-Warriors' Sentai name in Japanese and have them speak in German?!"
BlackGuilmon got his mouth free from Knuckles' hand. "Hello! This IS SkullSatamon... what do you expect?!"
SkullSatamon scratched his head. "They were suppose to speak in Japanese?"
"See...?" BlackGuilmon muttered.
SkullSatamon smiled. "Oh yes... yeah, I was going to have them speak in Japanese, but we had a little problem."
Knuckles raised an eyebrow. "What's that? Tell me what small problem prevented you from having these guys acting out as a Japanese superhero team made them speak in German?!"
"Couldn't find a online English-Japanese translator..." SkullSatamon said.
Knuckles facefaulted. "Good grief..."
SkullSatamon smiled. "I had them speak in French, Spanish, Italian and Greek. Wanna hear 'em?"
"NO!!!" Knuckles and BlackGuilmon yelled out.
SkullSatamon brought out a TV. "Well, they did a video of them doing the poses in Sentai terms, speaking in English."
"Good..." Knuckles muttered.
BlackGuilmon blinked. "Where did that TV come from?"
"Plothole!" SkullSatamon said, smiling.
BlackGuilmon facefaulted. "Good god, no... it's catching up here now..."
SkullSatamon scratched his head. "Now that I remember... one of the Dra-Warriors didn't want to go through with it and the others had no choice but to ditch the idea..."
Knuckles blinked. "Which one...?"
SkullSatamon pressed a button on the video recorder. "Allow me to show you... it's not working..."
BlackGuilmon slammed his head on the desk. "That's the volume button..."
"Oops..." SkullSatamon muttered, pressing the Play button. "Watch this..."
Ninjadramon appeared on the screen, posed with his legs spread, crouched low, right arm extended towards the ground as the left was stretched out and up to the side. "Legendary ultimate dragon, Ninjadramon!"
Knuckles sweatdropped. "Good thing they aren't actually doing it in the story..."
"Gee... you think...?" BlackGuilmon muttered.
Herodramon raised his sword arm to the sky with the blade in his fist, other arm clenched and at his side, face turned up to stare at the blade. "Loyal knight dragon, Herodramon!"
Samuridramon stood straight, holding her sword with both hands before her and a challenging expression on her face. "Mystical shuriken dragon, Samuridramon!"
Galaxiadramon stood in the background, one arm extended up and pointing diagonally away to the side, the other straight out at the same angle but pointing downwards, leaning on one knee and stretching out the other leg. "Lightning fast dragon, Galaxiadramon!"
Armeddramon posed by bending his knees with both hands out in a V for Victory sign. "Great power dragon, Armeddramon!"
Knuckles sweatdropped. "That's... pretty poor..."
"SkullSatamon helped, remember?!" BlackGuilmon snapped.
Ninjadramon whipped out his double-bladed staff, twirling it around. "Protect the Digital World from evil! Kyodaikyu Sentai Draranger!"
Colour-coded explosions burst in the background.
"Apart from the poses... pretty good..." Knuckles muttered. "So, which one decided to leave and why...?"
"AAHHH!!!!! MY TAIL'S ON FIRE!!!" Armeddramon screamed as he swung his tail around when it caught fire from the explosion. "PUT IT OUT!! PUT IT OUT!!!"
Knuckles sweatdropped. "Never mind..."
SkullSatamon smiled. "Well, he just missed one tiny detail... he forgot to curl his tail around his leg, unlike the others... simple mistake to forget, huh...?"
BlackGuilmon rolled his eyes. "Sure... especially if you're going to have explosions in the background..."
Knuckles sighed. "So, Draranger is out then..."
"Don't worry though, I always have a Plan B!" SkullSatamon said, grinning.
BlackGuilmon sighed. "I hope I get a cannon for Christmas..."
SkullSatamon grinned as he held up a sign. "I call it... The Three Egos!"
"Three... Egos...?" Knuckles muttered.
"If it's called the Three Egos, why did you hold up a sign for.. No Smoking...?" BlackGuilmon muttered.
SkullSatamon blinked. "Oops... wrong sign..."
BlackGuilmon slammed his head on the table. "Why am I not surprised...?"
Knuckles shook his head. "So... who are the members of the Three Egos...?"
SkullSatamon smiled. "Gaston from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Etemon from Digimon and Minor B from Pokemon XD."
"No... no... no... no... NO!!!" BlackGuilmon screamed.
SkullSatamon blinked. "So, what are you trying to say...?"
"No way! No way we're gonna use that idea!" BlackGuilmon snapped. "Also, it's MIROR B! Not Minor B..."
SkullSatamon scratched his head. "I thought he was a singer, not a mirror-lover..."
BlackGuilmon snarled. "On the first day of Christmas, I murdered SkullSatamon..."
Later, SkullSatamon was now tied up on a pole behind them while Knuckles and BlackGuilmon were visited by Renamon, whom was holding a book.
"So, you have a suggestion?" Knuckles asked.
Renamon nodded. "Yes... I'm holding a book that you could use for your next play. It always reminds me of my dear friend, Inumon."
BlackGuilmon took the book, read the title and sweatdropped. "The Nutcracker..."
Renamon nodded. "Yes... however, this has a Christmas theme to it like the other three plays you've done, Knuckles. And Inumon can play the leading character..."
Knuckles sighed. "I'm guessing Inumon is tired from playing leading characters of the plays during these last few years..."
BlackGuilmon rolled his eyes. "Actually, he didn't play the leading character of the Nativity Play on the first year... although, he can be a big baby sometimes..."
"He was when he fell through that hole made by the Dugtrio..." Renamon muttered. "Anyway, Knuckles... what do you think...?"
Knuckles sighed. "Well, you have to wait for the results, Renamon... because I have one more person with a suggestion... all right?"
Renamon nodded. "All right."
"Right! NEXT!" Knuckles called out.
Inumon walked in, dressed up in a Robin Hood costume without the shoes. "Howdy."
"How ironic that he comes along..." BlackGuilmon muttered.
Renamon grinned. "Inumon, there's no need to enter the Silly Looking Costume Contest, you already won..."
Inumon glared at Renamon. "Just like how I won the Perverted Idiot Contest in Kanius' Pharaohmon arc...?"
"The last thing I can recall is that it was YOUR hand against my butt..." Renamon said. "If it gets higher, you'll be using your fire attacks to keep you warm in the North Pole."
Knuckles smirked. "Didn't you do that last year in order for Inumon to meet Rudolph?"
Inumon sighed. "Very funny... anyway, Knuckles... this is my idea!"
"Robin Hood, hmm?" Knuckles mused. "That looks promising..."
Renamon cursed. "Darn..."
Inumon nodded. "Yep... and just before someone goes into the problem detail thing, I already solved it!" He brought out a bow and a arrow. The arrow had a suction cup at the tip. "It looks very safe, doesn't it?"
Knuckles nodded. "Yes... so safe, even a child would use it..."
"Why do you think Inumon has the arrow?" Renamon asked, giggling.
BlackGuilmon narrowed his eyes. "Can you fire that arrow?"
"Can I fire the arrow? Can I fire the arrow?" Inumon repeated, turning around to the main door and pulling the string on the bow with the arrow. "You do it like this and... RELEASE!" He let go and the arrow flew out of the door. "See?"
Renamon sighed. "I have to admit, that's very good... no problems there..."
"AAAAHHHHH!!!"
Renamon grinned. "However..."
Inumon gulped. "Who did I kill...?"
"You can't kill people with an arrow that has a suction cup at the tip!" BlackGuilmon said.
Knuckles shook his head. "No, but that doesn't stop the person killing Inumon with the arrow by shoving it up his..."
Velene, the female Vulpix hybrid, stormed into the room with the arrow stuck on her left breast. She was clearly angry. "ALL RIGHT! WHOSE ARROW IS THIS?! WHO DARES STRIKE ME WITH AN ARROW, EMBARRASSING ME?! WHO DID IT?! WHO DID IT?!"
Inumon carefully crept around Velene before handing the bow to a small kid, whom had followed Velene into the room with a purple creature beside him. "Here, kid. Hold this for me, will ya?"
Vulko, Velene's Vulpix son, blinked as he held up the bow. "It was me... I did it..." He said, acting out.
Velene glared at Inumon. "You hit me with an arrow and you try and get my son to take the blame?!"
Inumon grinned sheepishly. "Erm... the timing for me today is... very, very... poor...?"
Velene took the bow from Vulko and grabbed Inumon by the arm. "COME WITH ME!"
Inumon gulped. "What are you going to do...?"
"You're going to visit Rudolph today... RIGHT NOW!" Velene snapped.
"Angry women... very dangerous..." Inumon whimpered.
Espa, the Espeon father of Vulko and husband to Velene, sighed as he rubbed his head. "I knew that before I even married Velene... try to get on her good side, don't unleash the fiery anger that all Fire Pokemon have within them..."
Knuckles nodded. "Yeah... like not firing arrows with suction cups on the ladies..."
Renamon grinned. "So... Nutcracker then...?"
Knuckles shook his head. "Nah... I've got a much better idea... I'll tell you once Inumon comes back..."
BlackGuilmon flexed his arms. "In a week's time, that is..."
00000000000000000000
Inumon came back after two weeks...
"Oy..." Groaned BlackGuilmon.
... and stood in front of Knuckles and BlackGuilmon's desks with Renamon nearby. Inumon sighed. "Sorry it took me so long... I got lost..."
"Heard it, brought the T-Shirt..." BlackGuilmon muttered.
Inumon sighed again. "OK... What's the idea in order to decide if it's Robin Hood or the Nutcracker?"
Knuckles grinned. "Well, simple... a Duel. You each select a Duelist and after tomorrow night, whomever wins will decide the play. So, Inumon... if your selected Duelist wins... you can decide if it's either Nutcracker or Robin Hood."
Inumon nodded. "OK!"
00000000000000000000
Inumon's selected Duelist is...
"Thank you very much, Joey!" Inumon said, shaking Joey Wheeler by the hand.
Joey grinned. "Hey, no problem... I'll take down Renamon's own Duelist and you can go for Robin Hood..."
Inumon nodded. "Oh yeah... nothing can go wrong! Nothing will!"
00000000000000000000
Renamon's selected Duelist is...
"Oh, boys..." Renamon chimed up, waving nearby. "Meet my Duelist..."
"Hello, worms..." Seto Kaiba said, grinning.
Inumon and Joey sweatdropped. "Ah, nuts..."
0000000000000000000
Sonic the Hedgehog smirked as he stood at the North Pole, overlooking two fallen characters. "So, I guess this year's Christmas Play is the Nutcracker, right?"
Dazed, Inumon slowly nodded. "Yeah... totally..."
"How did we get here...?" Joey muttered. "Last thing I remembered, I had Red-Eyes Black Dragon on my side of the field... what did Kaiba have...?"
Sonic scratched his chin. "Not a lot... just his three Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon... totally blew you away..."
Joey blinked. "That doesn't make any sense at all! I've been beaten by Kaiba before, but I was never blown into another country like that!"
"Joey, in a world like this, NOTHING ever makes sense..." Inumon muttered. "So, it's the Nutcracker...?"
Sonic sniggered. "Yeah, you answered the question, Inumon... although, you were dazed..."
Inumon stood up. "Well, Sonic... because it's the Nutcracker, no way am I heading back home to play the leading character! Nothing's going to make me run back! Nothing!"
A white bird landed near Inumon, glancing around with his black, beady eyes. "Mine."
Inumon rolled his eyes. "Oh please... You've got to try harder than that that..."
Huskymon walked up to Inumon, narrowing her eyes. "Hello, pizza thief..."
Inumon sweatdropped. "That'll do..." He zipped away. "MUMMYMON...!"
Joey sighed. "Well, at least I don't have any reason to get home on time..."
"Oh yeah, Kaiba has made a profile about you..." Sonic said, grinning. "Shame about the 43 trillion losses you've had..."
"KAIIIIIBA!!!" Screamed Joey, running off into the distance.
Sonic chuckled. "They'll be home before dinner..."
00000000000000000000
And so, the Nutcracker has been selected for this year's Christmas Play... what sort of chaos will this play unleash? Not the play's fault, it'll be the cast...
"Auctions will start soon!" SkullSatamon said.
BlackGuilmon facefaulted. "AUDITIONS!"
Knuckles shook his head. "No one knows about the auditions for the Christmas play yet..."
BlackGuilmon blinked. "Why not? I've put up signs..."
"I know... except, no one can read them..." Knuckles said as he held up a sign with a Joey Wheeler-shape cut in it. "Guess who didn't stop when he ran THROUGH the signs...?"
SkullSatamon blinked. "Caterpie?"
BlackGuilmon sweatdropped. "Well, we better make more signs soon..."
Knuckles nodded. "Yeah... and make sure they're Joey-proof..."
"And Caterpie proof..." SkullSatamon added.
BlackGuilmon took the sign from Knuckles. "Can I use this...?"
Knuckles shrugged. "Knock yourself out."
"No...it's HIM I intend to..." BlackGuilmon said evilly, sneaking up on SkullSatamon from behind.
Well, you should know what happens next... so, let's end this and wait for another chapter of the Xmas play... fun stuff, huh?
"NO, IT'S NOT!" Knuckles, BlackGuilmon and Inumon muttered.
"Yippie!" SkullSatamon cheered.
(WHAM!)
"The sign broke..." BlackGuilmon muttered.
000000000000000000000000000
How's that for a start?
Stay tuned for more! With help from my friends, I'm sure I'll complete this more quickly than last year...
Until the next time, see ya!
