DISCLAIMER!
The following is cheap, lazy, derivative, and totally worth it! "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is a holiday tradition that transcends time and space so much that its copyright long ago transitioned from the realm of reality to the realm of fiction, so there is absolutely no way anybody can sue me BECAUSE LOGIC!
Ai: Hey, Roboppi, guess whaaaaaaaaaat?
Roboppy: The main story is finally getting updated?
Ai: LOL! NOPE!
One of Donny's last readers: Aaaaaaaaaaand, I'm officially done with this B.S.
Roboppy: So then what is happening?
Ai: WE'RE GONNA DO A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!
Roboppy: Didn't Lightning do one last year…and didn't it bomb epically?
Lightning: Only because freaking Haru!
Ai: Let's not bring up past flops. THIS TIME the special will be totally epic!
Roboppy: And why is that?
Ai: Because this time…*assumes his sexy android form*…this time…Christmas will be…OURS!
Roboppy: Oh my Egyptian Gods…don't tell me we are seriously going to be parodying…
Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Abridged
The N-Ai-tmare Before Zarcmas
(A Christmas Present almost as well-written and thought out as "The Rise of Skywalker.")
Leo Akaba: *Narrating the story while wearing a santa cap to cover his baldness* Twas a long time ago, or is that just me, a holiday started way back in Arc-V. A meme born of hatred and draconic dread, would ravage the internet until it was dead. And Zarc and his dragons would revel and cheer, filling the hearts of duelists with egao and fear.
And no one could stop this great menace it seemed, yet Zarc was beaten! Who would have believed? And the hero who orchestrated the dragon-god's fall would soon show us the most wonderous Zarcmas of all.
*Pauses*
It's not Ray. No, that's not who this story's about! Sadly, she's not the heroine who put Zarc to route. Rather, our protagonist, and I can't believe this, is a certain very annoying DARK Ignis.
Android Ai: That's me! HIT IT!
This is Cyberse World
(A Parody of…do I really need to explain it?)
All the Ignis and their virtual minions (who for the indiscernible purposes of Donjusticia all have human forms like Ai later on in the series): Dum, dum, dum, da-da, dum, dum, dum, da-da, dum, da-da dum dum dum dum, da-da-dum!
Lightning: Bots and Bohmen of every stage
Power levels going off the gauge!
Aqua: Soon our plans will be unfurled
In this realm of Cyberse World!
Earth: tHiS Is CYbeRsE WoRLd!
THIs iS cyBERsE worLD!
Windy: Ignis scheme in the dead of night.
Lightning: This is Cyberse World. Doom of every boy and girl!
Flame: Hack and crack till the Hanoi Knights all die of fright!
Ai: It's our realm! It's our world!
All Ignis: It's our mighty Cyberse World!
Windy: I am the one hijacking your car!
Planning your route so you don't get far!
Aqua: I am the one underneath Miyu's bed.
Giving her a virus that'll keep her dead!
Earth: THIS IS CYBERSE WORLD!
THIS IS CYBERSE WORLD!
CYBERSE WORLD! CYBERSE WORLD!
CYBERSE WORLD! CYBERSE WORLD!
Haru: In this world, we all think
Bohman: all together with my neuron link!
Ai: In this world! Don't we love it now?
SOL isn't ready for our next surprise!
Lightning: Hacking into link VRAINS!
Aqua: Melting down their human brains!
Roboppy: Vacuums waiting just to punch you till you HURL!
All: THIS IS CYBERSE WORLD!
Aqua: Blue and white.
Windy: And slightly green.
Roboppy: You're not dead?
Lightning: Well that's not fine!
Haru: Evolve once.
Roboppy: Evolve twice!
Bohman: Win your duels by rolling dice.
Windy: Fly through the winds in the dead of night!
Ai: All the winds shall whirl, making your skin curl!
All: In our glorious Cyberse World!
Flame: I'm the A.I. with a serious face.
Bent on burning down the human race!
Earth: I aM tHe GuY sITinG oN YouR CHAir!
Windy: I am the wind blowing through your hair!
Lightning: I am the blaze of bright sunlight.
Judging all your race with my force and might!
Earth: THIS IS CYBERSE WORLD!
THIS IS CYBERSE WORLD!
CYBERSE WORLD! CYBERSE WORLD!
CYBERSE WORLD! CYBERSE WORLD!
Lightning: Ignis origins usually die.
Windy: And honestly we don't even know why.
Ai: Life's a game, give it a whirl
All: In our fun-filled Cyberse World!
Lightning: In this world don't we love it now?
Aqua: Everybody's waiting for Ignister to arrive.
Pandra: Android Ai might make a plane fly.
Flame: Hit you with a fire phoenix.
Windy: Turn a human brain to mush!
Earth: THIS IS CYBERSE WORLD!
Roboppy: Everybody DIE!
Haru: Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
Roboppy: My onii-chan's king of the Cyberse World
Windy: Everybody bow down to his might!
Lightning: NOW!
All: This is Cyberse World! This is Cyberse World!
Cyberse World! Cyberse World! Cyberse World! Cyberse World!
Ai: In this place, in this world
All our Zarcmas plans shall be unfurled!
All: La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Evil overlord Ai was pleased at how far his villainous plans had come. Not only had he rebuilt the cyberse world and the Ignis race, but he had successfully subjugated the entire human race to his will. Yusaku had tried his best to stop him, but the poor fool was nothing without his precious A.I. to hold his hand through every one of his duels.
"And it didn't help that he was traumatized after Aoi caught him under the mistletoe." Roboppy added.
Indeed, the entire human cast of VRAINS Abridged had proven most pathetic when it came to standing against Ai's evil might. In all truth, Ai couldn't have possibly forseen his plans going this perfectly.
Which was why it was so very annoying when some other defunct overlord tried to muscle his way through Ai's carefully constructed empire!
"MERRY ZARCMAS! AND DON'T EXPECT TO SEE NEW YEAR!" Supreme King Dragon Z-Arc roared with evil mirth as he torched half of den city with his draconic breath before dropping carefully wrapped packages of nukes on top of the heads of all the naughty boys and girls.
"HEY!" Ai screamed with indignation. "Don't you dare destroy humanity! That's my job!"
"SUCK IT TINY ROBOT!" Zarc roared back. "I'M A DRAGON GOD!"
"Stupid all-powerful dragon god." Ai grumbled, sitting down on his ruined throne. "Thinks he can come in and destroy everything I've built up with his stupid holiday season! Why I ought to give him a piece of my digital mind!"
"ANY TIME YOU WANNA GET SQUASHED IN A DUEL, I'M ALL FOR IT!" Zarc chortled, summoning all four of his Dragon Servants WITHOUT using a link monster.
"Why I ought to give him a piece of my digital mind…later." Ai corrected, slumping back down on his throne. "When my ace monster's just a bit better than The Arrival Ignister."
Ai glanced down at a note his ace monster had left which simply read, "Vacationing in Hawaii, I'll arrive later."
"Seriously!" Ai complained. "I was supposed to be the ultimate big bad of this series! But now it's all ruined because Zarc somehow found a way to monopolize every 25th of December! It's ruining every other major villain's career! I must find some way to stop this guy! But how, how, HOW!?"
"Whelp, I'm tired now." Zarc yawned. "Time to go to bed until the next Zarcmas."
And with that, the all-mighty Dragon God suddenly split into four tiny tweenage boys, who congratulated each other on another successful year of spreading Egao before leaving.
Seeing the four weak counterparts gave Ai an idea…an AWFUL idea! Ai had a wonderful AWFUL idea!
Ai: Roboppy! Haru! Pandra! Come to me!
*Roboppy, Haru, and Pandra all appear*
Roboppy: Yes onii-chan?
Ai: Listen you three, I have a special job for you all. It requires craft, cunning, and mischief. And you three have all these things in spades!
Pandra: *Giggles* And I thought you didn't like me.
Ai: Now listen carefully…*starts whispering in their ears* Oh! And one more thing! LEAVE THAT LAME SEASONAL VILLAIN, BOHMAN, OUT OF THIS!
Haru: Of course! Wouldn't dream of it!
*All three of them cross their fingers behind their back before wandering off to accomplish Ai's evil plan*
Kidnap the Counterparts
Pandra, Haru, and Roboppi: Kidnap the counterparts?
Roboppy: I wanna do it!
Haru: Let's just start!
Pandra: Ai said, "We should work together,"
Haru: But I hate Roboppy!
Roboppy: I'm more clever!
Pandra: Ah whatever.
All: La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la laaaaaaaaa!
La, la, la,
La, la, la, la, laaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kidnap the Counterparts
Lock em up in cards!
Tear em into pieces then
Burn up all the shards!
Haru: First we're gonna set some bait
Inside a special card then wait
When they come collecting
We will konk their heads and seal their fate!
Roboppy: Wait! I've got a better plan!
To trap the dual-haired dragon man!
We'll dress up as his girlfriend!
Get up close then punch him till he's dead!
All: Kidnap the counterparts
Beat em all in duels!
Blow away their ace monsters
Make them look like fools!
Haru: Then great big brother Bohman-chan!
Pandra: Can take the whole thing over then!
Roboppy: He'll be so pleased with all us three!
All: That he'll hitotsu-ni! WEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Pandra: I say we summon Topologic, aim her cannon at their doors
and then knock three times
And when they answer
Those morons will be no more!
Haru: Don't be stupid! Think now!
If we blow them into smithereens
Zarc will stay in pieces
And then we'll never hear him scream!
All: Kidnap the counterparts
Retcon them to dust!
Throw away the script and then
Make the season bust!
Because Big ol' Brother Bohman
Is the strongest A.I. around
If I were in his neuron link
I would rather drown!
Pandra: He'll be so pleased by our success!
Haru: That he'll reward us too, I bet.
Roboppy: Perhaps he'll even boost our brains.
All: So we control Link VRAINS!
Haru: We're his little henchbots
And we take our job with pride.
We do our best to please him
And stay on his good side.
Pandra: I wish these robots weren't so dumb.
Haru: I'm not the dumb one!
Roboppy: You're no fun!
Pandra: SHUT UP!
Roboppy: MAKE ME!
Pandra: I've got something, listen now.
This one is real good, you'll see.
We'll send some presents to their doors
Upon there'll be some notes to read
Now, in the box's we'll wait and hide
Until their curiosity
Entices them to look inside
And then we'll have them!
All: One, two, three! (and four!)
Kidnap the counterparts!
Warp them all away!
Throw them into outer-space
Till they all decay!
Kidnap the counterparts!
Boil em for a while!
Big ol Brother Bohman
Is sure to laugh and smile!
Kidnap the counterparts!
Throw them in a pit!
Bury them for 90 years!
So that Zarc stays split!
And laughing maniacally, the three henchbots continued on their way, concocting more and more elaborate and evil plans…until they just happened to stumble upon all four of the counterparts sitting around a warm trash-can fire, blissfully singing Zarcmas carols, at which point, they decided to improvise.
Roboppy: Wanna just bonk them all on the heads and knock them out?
Pandra: Eh, sure, whatever.
*All three of them proceed to whack the counterparts over the heads with baseball bats*
Haru: Well that was easy.
Ai: Ah, excellent work my minions! Now, make sure that these four are well taken care of while I enact my plans. *Leaves to play as Zarcmas Claws*
Roboppy: Take care of them?
Pandra: We'll give em to Bohman. He'll take good care of them!
*Proceed to dump the three counterparts into Bohman's lair.*
Yuya: *Wakes up* Woah…what happened? Where are we? YUZU! Did you come close to us again? I specifically told you to stay away while I was hangin' with the bros.
Yuto: I doubt this is Yuzu's fault.
Yugo: *rubbing his sore head* Yeah, this feels more like something Rin would do.
Yuri: Shut up you pathetic morons! Clearly, we're in the lair of an evil villain.
Yuya: How would you know?
Yuri: I might have dabbled a bit in supervillainy.
Yugo: Yuri, I thought you said you were off that stuff!
Yuri: Hey, I'm just evil recreationally. I can quit anytime I want.
Yuto: You want me to tell Selena about this?
Yuri: Not unless you want me to tell Ruri what you got Yuzu for Zarcmas!
Yuto: *Eyes glow berserk* I will destroy you and everything if you dare do that!
Yuya: Guys! Quiet! Someone's coming.
*Bohman waltzes into the room with jazzy music playing in the background*
I'm the Evil Bohman-Man
Bohman: Well, well, well, what have we here?
Zarc's counterparts, huh?
Ooh! I'm really scared.
So you're the four that everyone's talking about.
Yugo: Yep! That's us!
Yuya, Yuto, and Yuri: SHUT UP, YUGO!
Bohman: You're joking. You're joking! I can't believe my eyes!
You're kidding me! You've gotta be!
You four are Zarc's guys?
You're tiny! You're cuddly. *Pinches Yuri's cheek*
Yuri: HEY!
Bohman: I don't know which is worse!
I might just fry a circuit, If I don't die laughing first!
When Bohman starts a dueling, then trouble's close at hand! *activates duel disk*
Yall'd better pay attention now. 'Cause I'm the Bohman-man!
And if you think you can beat me, then you are very wrong.
'Cause this'll be the last time, you hear the Bohman song!
Woaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Bits and Boots: Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Bohman: Woaaaaaaaaah.
Echoes: Woaaaaaaaaaah.
Bohman: WOAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm the evil Bohman-man!
Bohman: We'll since I've been upgraded, my time is pretty free.
I think I'll use my spare time, to destroy humanity!
And don't you know the four things, that'll make me pretty OP?
Four of Zarcy's stupid counterparts, to help me hitotsu-ni!
Twin Hydradrive Knight: Woaaaaaaaaah!
Bohman: Woaaaaaaaah!
Trident Hydradrive Lord: Woaaaaaaaah!
Bohman: Ooooaaaaaah!
Rousing Hydradrive Monarch: Woaaaaaaaaah!
Bohman: YES! I'm the evil Bohman-man!
Yuri: Release us now, or you will face our OP berserk mode!
Yuto: Yeah, Ruri's kind of expecting me.
Yugo: Could you maybe let us hit the road?
Bohman: HA! You're joking! You're joking.
I can't believe my ears!
Dragrid! Shut these morons up!
I'm drowning in my tears.
It's funny! I'm laughing!
Yall really are too much!
And now, without your permission, I'm going to do my stuff. *Creates a neuron link*
Yuya: What are you going to do!?
Bohman: *Crazy face* I'm going to do the best…I…can!
*Activates Nueron link, connecting to the counterparts*
WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
The sound of Judgement Dice! Is music in the air!
'Cause I'm the gambling Bohman-man!
And, no, I don't duel fair!
It's much more fun, I must confess
When lives are on the line!
Not mine, of course, but yours, you four.
Now that'd be just fine.
Zarc: *Speaking through the counterparts* RELEASE ME NOW, OR YOU WILL BOW BEFORE ME AS I ROAR AND GROWL!
Bohman: Oh Zarcy! You're something! But you are far too late!
Turns out the great ol' Zarcy, really aint so great!
You're part of me, you're finished! Now we're becoming one!
I'm the Evil Dragon Bohman-God, and I have finally…won!
Ah! Haw! Haw! Haw! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!
*Slowly grows into a massive world-ending Hydradrive/Zarc Dragon/Cyberse hybrid*
Meanwhile while this was happening!
Ai and his other Ignis friends continued to put their evil Zarcmas plans into motion, blissfully unaware of what Bohman was doing. To pass the time while they worked, they decided to sing.
Making Zarcmas
All the Ignis: This time! This time!
Aqua: Making Zarcmas!
Earth: Making Zarcmas!
Windy: Making Zarcmas!
Flame: Making Zarcmas!
Lightning: Is so fine!
All: It's ours this time
And won't the humans be surprised
Aqua: It's ours this time!
All Ignis: Making Zarcmas!
Making Zarcmas!
Making Zarcmas!
Windy: It's time to give them lots of death!
Lightning: They'll scream out their last dying breath!
Earth: Let's party with some crystal meth!
Aqua: GET BACK TO WORK, EARTH!
All: Making Zarcmas! Making Zarcmas!
Flame: I'll build a fire to burn them down!
Aqua: I'll break a dam and let them drown!
Lightning: It's ours this time!
All: All together, that and this, with all these bombs
We're making Zarcmastime!
Flame: Here comes Ai!
Ai: *Gazes upon the works of destruction with wonder* I don't believe, what's happening to me!
I'm in control, of the Yu-gi-oh serieeeeeeeeeeeees! HEE, HEE, HEE, HEE!
Lightning: Won't the Ignis be impressed I am a genius!
I'll hide some bombs inside trash cans
And blow them up to kill humans!
Ai: *Inspects Lightning's work* Hmmmmm…my compliments from me to you, on this your most bombastic trash.
Consider though, the human's greed, exploding cash instead of trash!
*Sees what Earth is making*
No, no, no! Now that's all wrong! This thing will never kill a person!
It's just a plain old Christmas gift! Try some mayhem. Try some arson!
Try again! Don't give up!
All the Ignis: All together, that and this
With all our guns we're making Zarcmas time!
This time! This time!
Making Zarcmas! Making Zarcmas!
La! La! La!
It's almost here
And we can't wait
To drop some nukes and devastate!
'Cause when the death toll starts to climb
We'll all sing out
Ai: It's Zarcmas time! HEE, HEE, HEE!
Laughing maniacally, Ai mounted his Zarcmas sled, (which was really more a D-board, but who would care about the difference?) Loading the Zarcmas bombs he and the other Ignis had carefully made, he flew off, ready to spread the Zarcmas fear.
"FELIZ NAVIDEATH!" He cackled dropping one of the bombs near a refugee encampment.
The human survivors immediately dashed for cover. However, when they only heard a mildly small explosion, they looked up to see, not a gigantic world-ending dragon looming over their heads, but a tiny android general zipping through the air on a D-board like a complete doofus.
"Zarc's not here this year?" one of the survivors asked.
"Obviously not." Another survivor answered. "Otherwise, he would have totally squashed that robot."
"This isn't nearly as destructive as most Zarcmases." Another survivor observed.
"Now could be our chance! We should rise up against our overlords and take back the world!" The survivor leader called out, rallying support behind himself as the humans gathered their weapons and fired back.
"Oh shoot, I didn't think of this part." Said Ai before a rocket blasted his D-board into smithereens, sending the poor android flying through the air. He landed in a heap on the ruined ground, his robotic body barely managing to stay together. All around him, the normally fearful humans began rising up and fighting against their Ignis overlords, confident that Zarc wouldn't show up to ruin their fun.
"What have I done!" Ai wailed, only now beginning to realize the true meaning of Zarcmas. All these years he had been annoyed at Zarc stealing his limelight without ever once considering how the demonic dragon-god of destruction had actually benefited Ai's kingdom by periodically culling all resistance.
"Maybe," Ai mused, "Zarcmas isn't so sour. Maybe, just maybe, Zarcmas helps me hold onto power!"
"HOW WONDERFUL TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE JUST MANAGED TO REALIZE THIS." A deep demonic voice boomed from above.
Shocked, Ai turned around to see an immense digital dragon looming over the entire planet, a draconic robotic Bohman fused to its chest.
"What the, Bohman!? What are you doing here!?" Ai sputtered, backing away from the horrific sight. "Erm…are you here to help show me the true meaning of Zarcmas by crushing these human rebels and restoring me to power?"
"OH, DON'T WORRY." Bohman rumbled, "I'LL MAKE SURE TO KILL ALL THE RABBLE!"
"Wow, thanks." Ai sighed with relief. "I really appreciate it."
"He means he's going to kill all of us." Aqua sighed.
"Oh…right." Ai replied before he and everyone else began running away in complete panic.
"ZARCMAS, ZARCMAS TIME IS HERE! TIME FOR DUELS AND TIME FOR FEAR!" Bohman roared with laughter, obliterating the other half of den city with his draconic Hydradrive breath.
"Wait…duels?" Ai asked, suddenly getting an idea.
"Oh please don't tell me you're going to do what you're thinking." Flame sighed.
"Well, it is the only way most conflicts are settled." Lightning observed.
"HEY BOHMAN!" Ai called up at the demonic dragon/A.I., "I challenge you to a duel!"
Bohman turned his massive bulk around to glare down at Ai with a leering expression, lightning crackling around him.
"Ninety to ten that Bohman wins!" Windy called, placing his bet.
"Are we seriously gambling while Ai is dueling?" Aqua asked.
"I'll match that wager on Ai!" Earth replied.
"500 Terrabytes says the duel ends with no conclusion." Flame wagered.
"Aw what the heck." Aqua shrugged before placing her own bet.
DUEL!
Ai vs. Bohman
Turn 1: Bohman
"I'll start things off." Bohman rumbled. "I, using the scale six-hundred sixty-six Hydradrive Doom and scale negative nine-hundred ninety-nine Hydradrive Despair set the Pendulum scales!"
To either side of Bohman, a pair of demonic hydradrive gates rose into the air in pillars of blue light.
Hydradrive Doom: Scale 666
Hydradrive Despair: Scale -999
"And now that that is done," Bohman continued, "I'll pendulum summon your death! Come forth! Hydragraph Magician!"
Through an evil digital pendulum portal, Bohman's evil bug-eyed parody of Zarc's magician descended to the field before raising its staff into the air.
"I sacrifice Hydragraph Magician in order to activate its effect!" Bohman declared, "I banish Hydradrive Dragrid, Hydradrive Draghead – Earth, Hydradrive Draghead – Aqua, Hydradrive Draghead – Flame, Hydradrive Draghead – Windy, Hydradrive Draghead – Lightning, Hydradrive Draghead – Yami, and Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon from my Extra Deck in order to summon the ultimate crossover boss monster! BEHOLD! Supreme King Hydradragon Boh-MAN!
"So you basically just summoned yourself?" Ai asked.
"PRECISELY!" Bohman chortled before flying onto the field to leer down at Ai.
Supreme King Hydradragon Boh-MAN / EARTH (because Hydradrives for some reason?) / Level 12 / Cyberse / Link / Effect / ATK 4000 / Link – 8
"Eep!" Ai squeaked.
"I activate my effect." Bohman laughed. "Once per turn, I can roll a dice and, depending on the result, activate one over-powered effect."
"Could any of these results maybe be beneficial for me?" Ai asked.
"LOL!" Bohman chortled before conjuring a dice between his clawed hands. "Let's get started. JUDGEMENTO DICUH!"
The dice began rapidly spinning in Bohman's hand before finally landing on six.
"Whelp, tough luck Ai!" Bohman laughed. "Looks like you have to banish every card in your hand, Extra Deck, and all but the very bottom card of your deck face-down before taking 3999 damage to your life points."
"Seriously?" Ai asked before Bohman blasted him backward with a powerful burst of shadowy breath, getting rid of almost all of Ai's cards and reducing his life points to a mere speck.
Ai: 1 LP
"Your turn." Bohman sneered. "Though I'd probably surrender if I were you. There's no way you could possibly-…"
"Hey, whattya know!" Ai gasped, "I just drew Gren Maju Da Eiza! Who'd have seen this coming!?"
And, completely out of the blue, he normal summoned precisely the card that could have saved him in this situation.
Gren Maju Da Eiza: 21,600 ATK
"Wha-bu…HOW!? You don't even run that card!" Bohman sputtered.
"What? I've got tough plot armor." Ai shrugged. "How else was I supposed to beat Yusaku and take over in the first place?"
"Oh you think you're so clever." Bohman snarled. "Summoning a monster with more ATK than my own. But you have yet to see me full power! I activate my effect again! BEHOLD! JUDGEMENTO DICUH!"
A storm of power coalesced in Bohman's hand as he conjured the almighty judgement dice. Spinning around and around, the dice rapidly rotated between Bohman's palms, displaying each of its terrible faces to the onlooking crowd until finally, it landed.
On one.
"Well…son of a computer chip." Bohman cursed. "Looks like there is a result that's advantageous to you. Apparently, if I roll a one, then I have to destroy Boh-MAN and immediately end my turn while also conveniently skipping your draw phase."
His immense draconic body suddenly evaporated in a puff of smoke, leaving Bohman standing alone on his field.
"You know…in hindsight…" Bohman mused. "Maybe building a deck around dice rolls wasn't the best plan."
Bohman's journey of enlightenment was cut short as Ai's monster brought a massive fist down on his body, smooshing him flat.
Bohman: 0 LP
Ai WINS!
"That duel…was stupid and anti-climactic." Said Aqua. "Which is what I bet on so I win!"
"Oh come on!" the other Ignis groaned.
Next to Ai, Zarc appeared.
"Oh hi…Zarc." Ai gulped. "You aren't uh…mad at me or anything?"
"Well, the season of Zarcmas is all about enacting vengeance," Zarc replied, "But since I have to leave a little bit left to destroy each year, I'm willing to let you off the hook just this once."
"Oh few!" Ai sighed with relief.
"Just stay out of my holiday next time!" Zarc warned. "Or so help me I will make sure your series comes to a premature end before replacing it with a cheap Bey-Blade knock-off!"
"Understood!" Ai squeaked before the dragon flew off.
And soaring through the air, Zarc proceeded to do what he did best. As the survivors howled and wailed and gnashed their teeth in despair, Zarc bathed them in flames before roaring:
"MERRY ZARCMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL AN ETERNAL NIGHT!"
Ending A/N: Merry Zarcmas!
