A long time ago, in a big building at the end of the world, there lived two masters and their servants... let's just say they had a lot of servants.

Everything was oddly normal for them at this time of year, then came the visit of a certain magical character that changed their lives forever.

Siegfried was tucked up in bed, visions of sugar plums, or whatever they ate during his era, dancing in his heard. In his sleep clouded mind he thought he heard something that sounded like a distant laugh.

Ho ho ho!

The saber wrinkled his nose in his sleep, weird. Then he heard something that was much harder to brush off and ignore.

"Excalibur Morgan!" Followed by a sudden but intense burst of mana.

Siegfried sprang from his bed and bolted out of his room, he flew down the hallways, following the traces of mana to their source.

"What's going on?! Are we under attack?!" He shouted as he busted threw the door to the lounge. Where he found Saber Alter, leaning on the hilt of her sword with a disgruntled look on her face (not unusual for her), and the body of a man in a once red suit, now practically black with blood, torn nearly in half at her feet (oh how he wished he could say that wasn't normal for her).

Saber Alter let out a deep sigh, not even looking up at Siegfried, "Before you start-"

"Sweet Fafnir." Siegfried gaped at the sight.

"Okay, before. You. Start." Saber Alter tried again.

"Holy Shit!" Siegfried continued to stare in horror regardless.

"Would you care for me to explain?" Saber Alter asked exasperatedly, as she dematerialized her sword.

"Oh yes Saber!" Sigfried snapped, "I would love to know why you maimed and killed Father Christmas!"

The darkened servant folded her arms over her chest, "He startled me." She replied flatly.

There was a beat of disbelieving silence, where Siegfried stared at the Saber in front of him as if he hadn't hears the reason she'd just given him.

"He startled you?!" He repeated in shock and fury.

"He. Startled. Me." Was the only clarification or further justification she offered.

"Oh, well I guess he should apologize." Siegfried snapped back sarcastically.

"Well that would be rather hard, seeing as, you know, I killed him." Saber Alter replied oblivious to his tone, nudging the corpse with her foot.

"Brilliant!" Siegfried threw his hands in the air, begging every god he could think of for someone with sanity to appear and aid him, "What are we supposed to do now?"

He knew what the right thing to do was, of course. But he didn't want to burden the masters or the staff with such a horrid sight.

Saber Alter placed her hands on her hips and let out a long suffering sigh (though it sounded rather dramatized to Siegfried's ears) "Well, looks like I have to save Christmas." She declared.

That was the sword that broke the Dragons skin, Siegfried collapsed into the nearest chair and groaned loudly into his hands.

"Yep, no other option." the saber continued as she knelt down to peel the hat and cloak from the now cooling body and then dress herself in them.

"How about ANY other option? Any at all!" Siegfried protested.

"No use trying to put the brakes on this." Saber told him, tying the red and green bow over the shorter version of his black dress. "It's going down."

Siegfried readjusted himself in his chair, examining her further he now noticed that Saber Alters knee high boots had a wool lining. "You planned this." He realized.

"What?" Alter gasped in offense.

"You planned this, I know you did." Siegfried stared her straight in the eyes as he spoke.

Alter scoffed derisively, "You really don't trust me?"

Just then the door on the other end of the room banged open, revealing Astolfo in an elf hat. "The sleigh has been secured!" The rider announced victoriously.

Saber Alter's face became pinched, she froze up under Siegfried's now dry stare.

"Unfortunately vixen got away, but- Oh..." Astolfo cut himself off when he noticed the aura of the room.

It was like a Mexican stand off of awkwardness, until Saber Alter raised her arm to jab her thumb at Astolfo, "You wouldn't believe how cheap that elf hat was."

A rumble began to build up in Siegfried's chest, not dissimilar to the dragon so associated with his legend.

"I stole it." Saber Alter grinned.

"Saber!" He roared, finally pushed over the edge by his frustration, he was ready to give her a piece of his mind.

"Let me have my nightmare before Christmas moment!" Alter raged back at him.

And so, Santa Alter and her little helper visited many houses that night. Until Astolfo got distracted, and kind of wandered off.

The End.
