GW: Here's the battle of Allen and Father. Enjoy the second-to-last chapter!

The Exorcist Against the Father Man

"I can't hear a damn thing!" Sadism snarled angrily as he and his teammates tried to hear what sort of torture Father was putting Wake, Ao, Lenalee, her brother, and friends through at the moment through the chute.

"What's happening, what's happening?!" Malice and Spite demanded.

Chaos leaned against a wall, sulking, when he spotted their clubhouse's elevator cage. "Hey! Why don't we…"

"…go down…" Revenge and Hypocrisy continued with smirks.

"…and take a peek!" the rest finished.

The Sins took off to grab candy, drinks, and party horns for when Father was done finishing his captives. They all squeezed themselves into the elevator contraption, lowering them to Father's lower part of the home to enjoy the show.

"You just wait until Allen, Naruto, Chowder, and Bug hear about this!" Lenalee shouted. She and the others were both tied together on top of a table and were about to be dumped into a vat of boiling lava Father prepared himself. "By the time they're through with you, you'll be lucky if you still had any limbs!"

"Loser!" Misaki, Cream, Cheese, Wake, and Komui added as Georgie sighed, "Well, this has to be better than being locked up in Hope House, being kidnapped by Bug's gangster dad, and held hostage by that crazy Punk…right, Noodle?" Noodle mewed as if to say Meh, I don't know.

Just when Father was about to respond Mung finished it for him, as he was driving by in his car. "The king of Halloween has been blown to smithereens! Allen and his friends are now a pile of dust…"

The Sins cheered happily, clapping their hands and dancing in circles. "Pile of dust! Pile of dust! Allen and his friends are now a pile of dust!" they laughed spitefully.

The girls gasped. Allen, Naruto, Chowder, and Bug… gone?! They were too late. And the girls didn't get a chance to tell them how they felt. "Ooh, this is bad!" Komui panicked as Noodle and Cheese whimpered in despair.

Tears streamed from their eyes as they cried silently. "What's that you were saying about luck, robot-girl?" Father chuckled darkly.

But Allen and his men weren't gone! They were rushing through the woods at post-haste! With Timcanpy not far behind, the boys rushed towards their destination. "Come on, guys; Christmas isn't over yet!" Allen shouted determinedly. They finally reached their destination; Father's tree house. The boys were about to enter it when they heard a loud cackling from below. They shushed each other to keep quiet as they climbed down a rope. When they reached the bottom, they found the Sins cackling at the sight of the prisoners' upcoming deaths.

"Oh, boy! This is gonna be great!" Lie snickered in excitement. "I wish I was doing the killing, though," Sadism hissed.

"You get what you get, brother," Masochism told her brother, making him glare at her.

"Good thing Allen and his loser friends are long gone or they'll just ruin the fun!" Chaos hooted as he waved his cup of soda around, splashing it everywhere.

"Oh, really?" The Sins stopped what they were doing and gulped. They all slowly turned their heads upward to see Allen, Naruto, Chowder, and Bug with really ticked-off looks on their faces. "'Cause, you know, we can be fun guys when we're scary…"

"RUN FOR IT!!!" the Sins screamed, running from sight.

"Bakas…" Naruto said as he and the others rolled their eyes. "Never trust them with anything…especially the kidnapping of famous holiday figures." They quickly turned their attention back to their friends; they weren't going to waste any time on those freaks…yet.

"Looks like its Father's turn to rule!" Father cackled, pulling on a lever that raised the table that the prisoners were on a bit; lowering them a bit closer to the lava. "With that white-haired kid and his bratty friends out of the way, I'll be the NEW king of Halloween!"

"This can't be happening!" Wake shouted, terrified. "Two holidays ruined!? That's just evil incarnate!"

"Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust," Father sang mockingly. "Oh, I'm feeling weak…with hunger. One more roll of the dice oughta do it!" He rolled his red dice and both landed on ones. "What, snake eyes?!" Father furiously slammed his hand on the floor, making the dice roll to a seven. "Seven! Looks like I won the jackpot!" He walked back towards the group, pulling on the lever to tilt the table more. "Bye, bye, brats! Ha, ha, ha!" Father pulled on the lever several more times and the group screamed as they fell to the lava. Father snickered sadistically, but realized he didn't hear any splashes in the pool. "What the…"

The evil man irritably flipped the table over to reveal……Allen, Naruto, Chowder, and Bug resting casually on it! "Hello, Father," Allen greeted nonchalantly.

"Allen!" Father gasped, backing away bit by bit as the boys followed, step by step. "But they said you boys were dead! You must be……DOUBLE DEAD!!"

"That didn't make sense," Bug noted, but focused as Father smashed his left foot on a button on the floor, activating a defense mechanism. The boys were left wobbling around a roulette wheel with multiple giant cards that were equipped with swords. "Come on, boys!" Father cackled.

Chowder hopped down as he joined his friends, realizing he couldn't beat this. Allen and Naruto easily avoided the weapons with quick flips as Bug hovered over them.

Father laughed as he pulled a lever and the cowboy gun shooters came out. "FIRE!" Father ordered.

The group watching gasped, but Bug grabbed the ninja and exorcist and flew them out of the cowboy's line of fire. Father was angered at this as he pulled a chain and a guillotine was about hit them. The girls, Komui, the animals, and Chowder gasped and Lenalee shouted, "Boys! Allen! Look out!"

Allen spotted the guillotine as he turned his Anti-Akuma arm into a shield as he blocked the guillotine.

Father, meanwhile, was just plain ticked off and he used a rope to climb up and he was on top of a platform. "So long, boys."

Just then, Allen noticed that Father had a string on his supposed pant leg. The teen held it in his grasp. "How dare you treat my friends so shamefully!?" he said angrily as he pulled the string, which came undone on Father, revealing the evil man's true form: a form of Bug Pokemon he had collected.

"Now look what you've done!" Father screamed as he was dying, melting down as his bugs fell down. The Caterpie that he had recently eaten attempted to escape, but only to find himself squished by Ao's paw.

"What a horrible experience…" Wake muttered as he petted Ao as she licked his hand in comfort.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Claws," Allen said sheepishly, holding out Wake's necklace he took earlier. "I'm afraid I've made a terrible mess of your holiday…"

"Now he listens to logic," Bug, Naruto, and Chowder grumbled before being surprised as Georgie, Misaki, and Cream hugged them in joy. "Thanks for saving us," the girls whispered to them as they smiled. Timcanpy, Komui, Cheese, and Noodle smiled at the sight.

"Oh…for the love of my evil twin, Walker!" Wake angrily snatched back his necklace and placed it over his head. "The next time you get the urge to take over someone else's holiday, I'd listen to her!" Wake pointed to a surprised Lenalee, who looked away awkwardly. "She, along with her brother, pals, and your comrades, is the only one who makes any sense around this crazy joint! Stupid bean sprout…" Wake and Ao started to stomp away.

"I hope there's still time to…" Naruto tried to say, but Wake cut him off.

"To fix Christmas?" Ao finished. "Of course there is! He is, after all, Wakey Claus…at least, in this story." With that finished, Wake grabbed Ao and flicked the side of his nose as the duo flew up in the sky.

The whole crew stared blankly at the sight as Lenalee neared Allen shyly while Misaki, Cream, and Georgie held their crushes' arms.

"Don't worry; he'll fix things, Allen," Lenalee assured him. "He knows what to do."

Allen shifted his gaze to her and asked, "What were you doing down here anyway, girls?"

"Oh!" the girls were caught off-guard by that question, fumbling around with her hands. "We were trying to…well…we wanted to…to…" They stumbled as Komui chuckled a bit along with Cheese, Timcanpy, and Noodle.

"You wanted to help us?" Bug finished for them as the boys were also caught off-guard a bit.

"Yeah; we didn't want to see you hurt," Georgie blushed crimson as she hugged Bug. Misaki smiled at Naruto and pecked his cheek while Cream hugged Chowder like he was an overstuffed teddy bear. This made the boys surprised but happy all the same.

"Really?" Allen took Lenalee's hands in his. "I can't believe I never realized…that you…"

"HI, O FORGIVING FRIENDS!"

The group winced at that perfectly romantic moment before being interrupted. They looked up to see Mung Daal with the Minor Sins. "Here they are!" Chaos smiled unconvincingly to Mung.

"They're alive!" Hypocrisy shouted.

"Just like we said!" Lie added.

"Hang on, guys! We'll get you outta here!" Mung threw down a rope for the group. Allen took a hold of the rope and held out his hand for Lenalee. She smiled as she took it before she and her crush were being lifted into the air. Naruto took Misaki, Chowder took Cream, Komui took Timcanpy and Cheese while Bug flew Georgie up as she held her cat.

Things seemed to be looking up for the heroes.
