Anime Christmas Special

Ch. 7; Thank You, Wesley Tran

December 17th, we find Madison Taylor (a.k.a. Tomoyo (from "Cardcaptors")) & Meilin Rae (a.k.a. Li Meilin) crawling out of a pile of letters. Meilin asks, "Who do they think we are? Santa's helpers?" Madison cheerfully replies, "I don't know, but I believe that they love us a lot." Meilin shouts, "OUCH!" Madison asks, "What's wrong, Meilin?" Meilin pulls out a letter, "A letter poked me in the chest!"

Madison took the envelope from Meilin and opened it, "Oh! This is great!" Meilin asked, "What is it?" Madison reveals it to the Chinese girl, "It's a letter from someone named Wesley Tran; requesting us to make new stories." Meilin freaked, "EEK! WE MUST GET IT TO STAR AJT 84 IMMEDIATELY!"

In a restaurant nearby the Christmas tree… we find Kerberos, in his Earthly form (where he looks like a stuffed animal), trying to bite off Spyke's finger (Spyke from "Medabots")! As the big coward of a Medafighter finally got the little guy off, he shouted, "What was that for, Fozzie?" At that, Kero jump kicked Spyke in the face and shouted, "I'm not a Muppet either, besides you were abut to peek!"

Madison picked up Kero and said, "Hurry up, a new short story is about to start!" Kero's eyes went wide, "You're kidding me!" She shook her head to the little fellow. "Then what are we waiting for? Express it through the magic camera!"

——Begin Short Story——

After the chaos with the Void Card 2 years ago, Li and Sakura have been officially titled an item. But some things can't always stay together forever; Li has his duties with his family in Hong Kong and had to go home, but he does promise Sakura that he can come to visit from time to time (much to Kero's annoyance).

As December 21st came around, Sakura got a phone call from Li. She smiles, "Yes, Li?" He answers, "I'm planning on coming along for the Christmas." Sakura smiles even more, "That would be great!" A very familiar female voice was heard, "What? You're going to Japan again? Can I go too?" Li said to his former fiancé, "I guess. Is it okay is Meilin came along Sakura?" Sakura said, "It's alright by me." Li sighs, "You can come along too, Meilin." Sakura can hear Meilin cheering in the background.

Nobody, among Sakura's family and friends, knows that the airport is about to be taken over. At the airport on Christmas Eve, Sakura was waiting patiently for Li and Meilin to arrive (Li especially). She is dressed in another cute Madison-made dress; scarlet with gold and nice holly and silver snowflake embroideries.

Spying on her, without her noticing are Kero, Madison Taylor, & Julian Star. Spying on them are Sakura's schoolmate friends: Chelsea, Nikki, Rita, & Zachary. Zachary did one of his wild stories (as usual), "You know, there are times when terrorists come around airports." Chelsea didn't believe a word of it, "Zachary, that was on September 11th, 2001, and in America. Whatever happened there is none of our concern."

Nikki suddenly said, "Hey, the flight that Sakura's hoping to meet someone is delayed!" Zachary said, "Told ya." Chelsea inquired, "Did you do something to the computers, Zachary?" Zachary admitted, "No, this is way beyond me. Honest!" Chelsea pounded him in the head, "Everything is beyond you."

Sakura noticed the signs that tell the times of the planes' comings and goings changed immediately. She runs up to an airport officer and asked him, "What happened?" The officer sarcastically said, "Nothing's wrong. The planes are not going to be flying or landing for a few hours or so, Merry Christmas."

Sakura runs over to the main desk to ask what's going on. Madison felt worried, "Something's wrong. I know it, I can feel it somehow." Kero asked, "Need more decorations for the dress?" Madison said, "No, it's worse." Julian said, "I feel it too. We should keep an eye on Sakura!"

As they run for Sakura, they run into someone familiar—— Julian says, "Hi, Tory." Tory's in an airport police uniform (part-time job), he asks, "What's wrong, Julian?" Madison explains, "Sakura is worried about something." Sakura runs to Madison, knowing she's there, crying. Julian asks, "What's wrong, Sakura?" Sakura answers, "The airport is——" Tory hushed Sakura, as if he knew what she was about to say. Then he pulls them into a more secure area.

Kero asks, "The airport is what?" Tory answered, "Being taken over by terrorists." Madison gasped, "On Christmas Eve? Why now of all times and here of all places?" Sakura said, "I don't know, as long as the terrorists are in control, Li & Meilin's plane is going to stay up there until they run out of fuel."

They heard Chelsea's voice shouting, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, ZACHARY?" Everyone followed the direction of the girl's voice. They found Zachary struggling to restrain a bigger guy to the ground. Tory recognized the man Zachary's got, "Good show, Zack. You've caught a criminal." Nikki was interested, "Really?" Tory replied, "Really, really."

After they got the terrorist behind bars… Rita treated any possible ailments Zachary got from tackling the thug. While examining the machine gun they stripped from the thug, it slipped from Tory's fingers and bounced on the floor, firing at Julian's leg! Everyone fell to the floor!

Startled by surprise, Julian sprouted white wings from his back and got engulfed within them, transforming into Yue. Yue says, "Julian is alright, no damage has come to him." Kero's wings changed and he turned into his celestial form, Kerberos. Tory looked at the gun again, "How come it didn't harm him much?"

Tory removed the magazine from the gun and examined the bullets, there were the shells, but they contain odd fragile bullet-designed containers containing a small red fluid that appeared to be blood. Kerberos sniffed it and growled, "These terrorists are nothing more than sorcerers: these 'bullets' are harmless. Whoever the fluid inside them comes in contact with someone without any magical powers, they fall into a deep coma, along with false symptoms of death."

On Li & Meilin's plane, Li came out of the restroom and said to Meilin, "At the airport… where Sakura's waiting for us, a cult of sorcerers. Ancient, evil, and angry." He used his Lazing Board. Meilin sighs, "Oh, well. Looks like Sakura's going to meet them and say 'hi'."

Sakura found the most secretive place to hide and pulled out her Key, "Key of my Star, power of magic, power of light. Surrender the wand, the force ignite! Release!" Her Key morphed into her Star Wand. She pulled out the Sleep Card and casts a spell over most of those at the airport. People everywhere there are asleep, except for Sakura, her friends, the people controlling the airport, and the terrorists.

Madison asked, "What if they sense this?" Sakura frowned, "Let them come; they'll pay for ruining the holidays!" Tory said, "Be careful not to damage anything, even with Madison's allowance, we can't afford to pay for the equipment." Kerberos growls, "Save the jokes & lies, these weaklings are ours!"

Madison watched from the sidelines, and pulled out a pink laptop and connected it to the airport's computer, she told them that their plane is about to take off and why they were here for, their leader who was accused (by normal people laws) for false murders.

As things looked desperate at soon as the plane took off… Sakura, Yue, & Kerberos got to the plane. Being 'pushed' off of the right wing, Sakura falls to the ground! "Float!" A pink balloon appears beneath here and she slowly lands on the ground. Kerberos got close to her and asks, "Why did you do that, Sakura?" Sakura grins, "I've had Sword to help out."

Kerberos looks at the trail of brown fluid leading up to the right wing of the plane. Sakura used the Sword Card's power to puncture a hole into the fuel tank on one of the engines. Sakura sighs in exhaustion, "Go ahead, Kero."

Kerberos grinned with Sakura, "Yippy-Kai-Yay; sorcerers." And then he shoots a large blast of fire from his mouth at the fuel, igniting it and causing the plane to instantly explode! Sakura falls asleep; she had used a lot of physical strength to hold onto the exterior of a moving plane.

When she wakes up, the first sees is Li Showron! "Li!" cried Sakura, as she hugged him! Li cried too, "Sakura." Meilin sighs, "It's 7 P.M. and I've missed the action and danger." Sakura got worried, "I've been sleeping that long?" Li disappointedly said, "I'm not sure if I could stay any longer, Sakura."

Sakura smiles, "I don't mind." Li got surprised, "You don't?" Sakura hugs him softly, "Even if I couldn't spend the day with you, I still love you anyway." Li smiles, "Me too."

Wei, Li's servant and guardian, comes up and says to Li, "Master Li." Li replies, "Yes, Wei?" Wei answers, "I'm afraid that we are going to be in Japan a little more time than last expected." Li asked, "What?" Wei explains, "It seems that your mother requests that you are allowed to stay here for a longer while as you wish."

At that, Sakura & Li happily danced around!

——End Short Story——

Madison sighs, "What a happy ending." Meilin says, "And I've missed a lot of the action!" Kero says, "And I've got to say that cool cowboy line; 'Yippy-Kai-Yay!'" Li says to us, "From what we learn from this story is simply this——" Sakura finished, "Love has strong bond that can never broken."

Kero got upset to his stomach and fainted from it. Madison explains, "Even on the holidays, Kero still doesn't like Li."

We slowly move over to Dex, who has a bowl of hot soup next to him, he says, "People can give up what means most important to them for someone special, and that's what the next story is about." Lan jumps up and says, "Indeed." Maylu appears beside Lan, "Cue the short story!"

——Begin Short Story——

It was going to be Christmas Eve in Dentech City, in about two days. Lan and Maylu want to give each other a super-special gift. But they don't know what yet.

While having a nice hot bath at home, Maylu was thinking of something what to give Lan. Roll is right beside her, digitally listing down the most likely gifts Maylu was thinking of. Roll said, "Maybe we should think of something for what Lan and MegaMan both like." Maylu said, "That's easy, they like to Net-battle."

Then Maylu's pink PET suddenly beeped, as if Maylu has gotten a pop-up window indicating that she has got a message. Maylu looked up at it and asked Roll, "What's it about, Roll?" Roll said, "Something about a new type of Battle Chip on sale; a Dark Magic Battle Chip." Maylu asks, "Sounds interesting, what does it do?"

Roll answers, "It can be reusable for unlimited times, and is capable of various tricks and powerful Program Advance techniques." Maylu got an idea, "I know! I could get Lan that!" Roll slyly asked, "How are you going to afford it? You've wasted enough money for most of the presents you've got so far, and we can't get any more money until next year." Maylu sighed, "I know."

Then she looked at an open heart-shaped locket of gold on a simple red string, which Lan got her for her birthday, and it contains a picture of him and her some time months ago.

Lan walked by with bags of groceries, his mother told him to go shopping for the food while she wraps up the presents. Then he notices that he's about to pass a jewelry shop, he sees a golden chain that seems most fitting for Maylu's locket that he got her. He's been looking at it for months, but he couldn't afford it. MegaMan asked his Net-Op, "What do you think would work to get Maylu that chain?" Lan sweat-dropped, "No idea at all, I'm lost as you are." Then he looked in his folder and pulled out a Fire Sword, and it's a Level 10. Lan said, "Maybe I can spare this with Higsby."

When Christmas Eve finally came, Yai invited everyone for a pre-Christmas Day party at her home. The Christmas tree she's got is beautiful and huge, even though it's a computer-generated trans-dimensional object, it still a great-feeling thing. The guests include Lan, Maylu, Dex, Cam (his little brother), etc., from her friends to the adults. But strangely, the main guests of honor are Lan Hikari and Maylu Sakurai.

People were allowed to get one gift from each guest and open the presents now if they wished. Surprisingly, Ms. Mari got a Level 7 Battle Chip from Mr. Higsby called Elven Light and a 24 karat gold goldfish from Maysa. When it came time for Lan and Maylu to open their presents to each other…

Lan opened it to see… "Whoa! It's a Dark Magic Battle Chip, Level 3! How'd you get this, Maylu?" Maylu sighed, "I went through a lot to get it for you." Roll pitifully mutters as quietly as possibly, "No, we had to sell the locket."

Lan wanted to try it out, but he can't unless MegaMan has an opponent. As bad luck would come, a Dimensional Zone opened in the middle of the party! Yai shouts, "What now?" The answer came to here the instant she asked, a gigantic and green mantis-like Life Virus is marching towards the Ayano mansion! Not just one Virus, a whole swarm is charging in!

Chaud smiles and says, "Hey, hey, hey, they're playing our song. Come on, Lan, let's go delete some viruses." Chaud handed Lan a Battle Chip, Lan looked at it, "A Level 10 Fire Sword? Isn't this yours?" Chaud answers as he inserted all of his Chips, "I've already got my own, insert it and Cross Fuse with MegaMan." Lan inserted all of his Chips and said, "Okay, okay."

"SynchroChip, in!" Lan slid his chip in first and a white light shone out from his screen. "CROSS FUSION!"

Lan released his PET from his hands as the light engulfed his entire body. MegaMan's boots formed over his feet followed by his gloves covering Lan's hands. A pair of yellow pads appeared on his shoulders and a blue power pack appeared on his back. Next, his and MegaMan's icon formed on his chest and his body was immediately encased in a navy-blue bodysuit. Finally, the blue helmet formed over his head. A mouth guard covered his nose and mouth and the customized crests appeared on either side if the helmet, ending the Cross Fusion process.

"SynchroChip, in!" Chaud slid his own chip into his PET and a white light shone out from his screen. "CROSS FUSION!"

Chaud released his PET and the light surrounded his entire body. Red boots formed over his feet while a pair of red & black gloves appeared on his hands. He clenched his left fist and brought it in front of his face before holding both arms back out as ProtoMan's icon formed on his chest and his body became encased in a black and purple bodysuit. His hair grew out beyond his waist as a red helmet appeared on his head and covered his eyes with a black visor.

R MegaMan shouted, "Mega Buster!" His right forearm and hand changed into a medium-sized blue blaster. He began, "Charge…" purple energy swelled within the barrel, then he shouted, "Blast!" A powerful blast of purple energy erupted from the barrel, annihilating just three of the viruses.

R ProtoMan shouted, "Sonic Sword!" His right forearm and hand changed into a long blade of red energy. He shouted, "Sonic Boom!" and released a slash-shaped energy shockwave from it, annihilating two more than MegaMan did.

That's when the famous Mr. Famous said, "If anyone would like to help them, I've got SynchroChips for everyone with a Net Navi, but remember to be agreeing with your Net Navi or it won't work and it will drain some energy from you. If you don't mind."

"Don't mind at all! SynchroChip, in!" Mr. Higsby slid his own chip into his PET and a white light shone out from his screen. "CROSS FUSION!"

Higsby released his PET and the light surrounded his entire body. Green boots formed over his feet while a thick pair of green cylinder-shaped cuffs appeared on his forearms. He clenched his left fist and brought it in front of his face before holding both arms back out as Number-Man's icon formed on his chest and his body became encased in a white bodysuit. An orange power pack formed on his back. A huge glass helmet appeared on his head and covered his eyes and hair.

R Number-Man shouted, "Dice Bomb!" He threw a die at the nearest Life Virus, and it landed on a one. KABOOM! It was only enough to charbroil the fronts of five of those things.

Yai thought to herself as she held a present to Maylu, I've got to get this to Maylu and fast!

"SynchroChip, in!" Yai slid the chip in first and a white light shone out from her screen. "CROSS FUSION!"

Yai released her PET from her hands as the light engulfed her entire body. Glyde's boots formed over her feet followed by his gloves covering Yai's hands. Her pigtails wrapped themselves together in a braided ponytail. Next, her and Glyde's icon formed on her chest and her body was immediately encased in a black bodysuit and then some brown body armor. A pair of long silvery triangular wings formed on her back. Finally, the yellow angular helmet formed over her head.

Using her power of flight, R Glyde zoomed towards Maylu and said, "This is for you." Maylu opened it and shouted out, "MY LOCKET?"

Hearing Maylu's voice, R MegaMan charged towards her, knocking over any Life Virus in his way! As soon as he made it to R Glyde and Maylu, he saw Maylu's locket in a small opened present box from Yai. R MegaMan asked, "How'd it get in there?"

Maylu confessed, "I sold my locket for your Dark Magic Battle Chip, Lan." R Number-Man is being pushed by another Life Virus, he heard this and said, "What a coincidence; he sold me a Level 10 Fire Sword, he told me it for your Christmas gift."

Upset from what R Number-Man said, R MegaMan finished off the Life Virus that R Number-Man was originally pushing. R Number-Man said, "Thanks." R MegaMan growled, "That's what I'm here for, weakling." R ProtoMan came by, "Think of that Level 10 Fire Sword as my Christmas gift to you, because it is yours from the start."

R MegaMan put two and two together, "You saw me sell that Battle Chip at Higsby's, and then use that money to buy my gift to Maylu at the jewelry store? Then you decided to buy it back to give to me?" R ProtoMan nodded.

Maylu followed by asking R Glyde, "You saw me sell my locket at the jewelry shop to get the money for the Dark Magic Battle Chip? And bought it back for me?" R Glyde nodded.

R MegaMan showed a worried look in the direction of Maylu, "Did you sell that picture of us in it too?" Maylu shook her head, "No. I've kept it when I sold the locket. What did you get me is my question."

Before R MegaMan could answer, he saw a Life Virus walk past them and is about to smash through the other unopened gifts! R MegaMan shouted, "It's not been open yet!" Maylu dashed to rescue the one labeled from Lan to her and succeeded! The box opened as she crashed into a sofa that's been split in half, revealing a matching gold chain!

As another Life Virus neared towards Maylu… what sounded like Tory's voice shouted, "Cyber Blizzard!" The gigantic mantis-like virus froze in its tracks from being flash frosted by R IceMan's attack! R IceMan is a more humanoid version of himself with dark brown hair. An over-muscular and over-weighted version of GutsMan called R GutsMan appeared and pushed the frozen Viruses outside.

R WoodMan, who appears to be Sal armored in slim and athletic feminine version of Woodman's body came along, landed a drop kick to the ground, and shouts out, "Wood Tower!" A numerous row of large wooden spikes popped out of the ground in a straight line, piercing a lot of Life Virus.

R SkullMan, who appears to be Miyu armored in an armor version of Skull-Man's body (only more feminine) came along beside R WoodMan, and thrusts her palms forth and shouts out, "Ghost Fire" A numerous amount of blue fireballs charged towards the Life Viruses charring them to a crisp.

Cam (Dex's little brother) landed on top of R Guts-Man's left shoulder beside Rush and observed something gross, the severed limbs and other body parts are becoming food for their fellow Viruses. Cam said, "Yuck! They're eating their wounded!"

R SkullMan says, "I sense these Viruses are becoming stronger and stronger." At that, the Life Viruses merged together into a serious mega-gigabyte Virus that's looking down hungrily at R MegaMan. R MegaMan shouted, "Time to try out a Program Advance. Dark Magic Battle Chip!" R MegaMan's right hand glowed with violet-colored energies.

R MegaMan then shouted, "Fire Sword Battle Chip!" As the sword formed in the glowing right hand, the red-hot blade of fire energy turned violet and it became hotter, "Program Advance; Dark Flare Sword!"

He slashed the new Program Advance weapon against every leftover Life Virus there was nearby him, he is successful at killing them, but the Super Life Virus still ate the remains of its allies.

Maylu looked in the box she got her locket from Yai and also found a Dark Magic Battle Chip, along with a Female Force Battle Chip, a Battle Chip that can temporarily turn male Navis into girls or give female Navis incredible powers. She placed her picture of her with her beloved in the locket, placed it back around her neck, and slid all of her Chips in, "Hang on Lan, I'm coming!"

"SynchroChip, in!" Maylu slid the chip in first and a white light shone out from her screen. "CROSS FUSION!"

Maylu released her PET from her hands as the light engulfed her entire body. Roll's boots formed over her feet followed by her gloves covering Maylu's hands. A large red ponytail formed along with a cute green bow close to the end. Next, her and Roll's icon formed on top of her chest as a jeweled choker and her body was immediately encased in a pink, red, & black bodysuit (it's not a 'full' bodysuit; it exposes some cleavage, thigh, leg, upper arm, shoulder), along with a short skirt with some pretty frills. Finally, the pink helmet formed over her head, having a pair of long golden ribbons sprouting from both sides of the helmet above her eyes.

In her mind R Roll thought, "I've always dreamed of becoming a Cross Fusion Net Navi. Now it's true."

R GutsMan has hearts in his eyes, "Whoa, Roll looks amazing!" Mr. Famous said, "Impressive." R Wacko-Man (an appealing female version of Wacko-Man Cross Fused with Maddy) groaned, "No fair; she's got a cuter outfit."

R MegaMan struggles to fight back at the Super Life Virus. Suddenly, the viral monster gets a red boot to the head! It stumbled backwards and fell on its back! As soon as R MegaMan got a glimpse of R Roll, "Whoa! Is that you, Roll?" R Roll blew a kiss to R MegaMan, "That's me!"

What she didn't see is the Super Life Virus getting back up! R MegaMan shouted, "Roll watch out!" As soon as she sees the Super Life Virus looking hungrily at her, it lunged its pincers at her! R MegaMan intervened, and got stabbed in the process!

R Roll felt a heavy blow hit upon her heart! As R MegaMan fell to the ground, his data crumbled to reveal a smirking Lan, still alive!

MEGAMAN REBOOTING

R GutsMan asked, "Rebooting?" R Number-Man explained, "The true power of the Dark Flare Sword Program Advance." R ProtoMan follows, "When relying on the strength the flames of darkness, the power of light saves yours soul and gives you the strength to win."

R MegaMan reformed, energy rings surrounded his body and spiraled around him. First his helmet turned a golden color, then the rest of his body armor, and then his icon changed from red to blue. The bodysuit turned a pure white color, the stripes on the bodysuit became the same shape of symbols of light from around the world, then the helmet morphed into a metallic headband-like headband over his forehead, his hair is now revealed; long and smooth and brown, his shoulder pads lengthened and enlarged, his power pack sprouted a pair of scythe-like wings, and his gloves and boots grew circular blue gems at their bases. R MegaMan jumped back and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Mirage-Knight Style!"

R Glyde asked, "A Style Change? But I thought with the Soul Unisons, MegaMan could never use Style Change ever again." Mr. Famous answered, "This is one of many Program Advance techniques that perform powerful Style Changes when in utter destruction, thus saving both the Net Navi and the Net Op." R IceMan asked, "You mean that with the right Chip combinations, we can perform Style Changes too?" Mr. Famous answered, "Affirmative."

R MegaMan, Mirage-Knight Style, scooped R Roll in his arms and said, "This could be very dangerous." R Roll said while blushing & sighing for relief, "Okay."

Surprisingly, every time the Super Life Virus supposedly hits its target, it only hit a temporary illusion created by R MegaMan's super-heightened speed, and every time it misses, R MegaMan's body illuminates with more light and power!

R GutsMan says, "He may be this years' Christmas Star."

After being narrowly missed for a 25th time, R MegaMan placed R Roll down and said, "Wait here, I'll be fine." R Roll complies, "Okay."

R MegaMan says, "Mirage Scythes." And then he pulls out the scythes from his pack and placed them together in an "S" form of a weapon. He spun it in a circle like a baton and charged into the viral creature, with one single stroke, R MegaMan sent a powerful and illuminating slash against the monster's body.

SUPER LIFE VIRUS DELETED

But the celebration was short-lived, when a big black dragon appeared in its place. Beside the glowing red eyes right where the 'ears' should be are depicting black dragon skeletons in front of an angry red demon eye. R MegaMan asked, "Who are you?"

The cyber-creature answered with a gruff masculine voice, "My name is Berserker Draco, a Net Navi like none other." R Roll asked, "How are you like none other like us?" Berserker Draco answered, "Before humanoid Net Navis came into existence, the beast Net Navis reigned supreme."

R Number-Man said, "You belong in a zoo! Beast Net Navis are mostly extinct, viruses have your place." Berserker Draco glared at R Number-Man and said, "But viruses are weaker than we are and we have greater strength than humanoid Net Navis."

R MegaMan said, "We'll see about that!" But then, his Style Change faded and he morphed back into a normal R MegaMan. R MegaMan looked at his hands, "My Mirage-Knight powers, they're gone!" Berserker Draco explained, "Your Mirage-Knight powers are only capable of unlimited dodges, unlimited power-ups, and only one attack. What did you think my attack was for, MegaMan?"

R Roll said, "I could fix that. Dark Magic Battle Chip!" Now R Roll's right hand glowed violet with strength. "Female Force Battle Chip!" The pink-colored female sign appeared above her and fused with her, and then the power glowed in a Program Advance.

Energy rings surrounded R Roll's body and spiraled around her. First her helmet turned a light blue color, then the rest of her garments, and then her icon changed from red to pink. The bodysuit turned a light blue color, the golden parts of her clothes became a bright pink color, then the helmet into a hat equivalent to the Dark Magician Girl, her hair is now revealed; long and smooth and brown, her bow vanished, and her gloves and boots grew wider, looser, and slicker. R Roll jumped back and blew a kiss to R MegaMan.

"Dark Magic-Girl Style!"

R Roll shouted, "Dark Folder Reload." A ball of pink light formed in her hand and she passed it to R MegaMan, he caught it and a blue scanner line zoomed up his body.

FIRE SWORD RELOADED

R MegaMan gave a thumbs' up to R Roll, "Thanks, Roll!" R Roll flirtingly said, "No problem!"

Berserker Draco lost it and roared, "Berserker Fireballs!" Multiple fireballs roared through the air, against everything!

Before the fireballs got close to R MegaMan, R MegaMan shouted, "Dark Magic Battle Chip!" R MegaMan's right hand glowed with violet-colored energies. R MegaMan then shouted, "Fire Sword Battle Chip!" As the sword formed in the glowing right hand, the red-hot blade of fire energy turned violet and it became hotter, "Program Advance; Dark Flare Sword!"

As the fireball hit R MegaMan… his data crumbled to reveal a smirking Lan, still alive!

MEGAMAN REBOOTING

R MegaMan reformed, and Style Change back into Mirage-Knight. R MegaMan jumped back and crossed his arms over his chest. "Mirage-Knight Style!"

R MegaMan absorbed every blow of the Fireballs the monster threw at his allies, the mansion, and the decorations too!

R Roll shouted, "Magical Hats!" A large black top hat appeared and fell on top of her, concealing her. More hats appeared and concealed her allies, including R MegaMan. The hats all multiplied around Berserker Draco.

As more fireballs struck the hats… they all glowed with an even brighter light than before. R MegaMan stood before Berserker Draco; with a still conscious R Roll in his arms, his allies still standing conscious behind him, and his armor glowing brighter than before!

"Dark Magic Roll Blast!" R Roll blew a kiss and threw a flurry of pink hearts at Berserker Draco, weakening him a lot! R MegaMan charged into the beast Net Navi and then—— KABOOM!

BERSERKER DRACO DELETED

The dimensional zone faded down to a normal level, everybody shifted back into normal humans and Net Navis. Lan landed on his feet, with Maylu still in his arms. They looked up and saw real snow falling.

Lan said, "Well, Merry Christmas, Maylu." Maylu smiled, "Merry Christmas, Lan."

They were happy with the gifts that they received. The party continued on. They kissed under the mistletoe.

——End Short Story——

Dex was in shock, from seeing Maylu & Lan kissing. Then he fainted. Maylu said, "What we learn from this story is that it is not the gifts that makes Christmas special, it's the feeling the gifts hold." Lan said, "Indeed. Now we'll finish this chapter with——" Maylu finished for him, "'All I Want For Christmas Is You.'"

——All I Want For Christmas Is You——

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There's just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is...

You

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There's just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas

I don't even wish for snow

I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeers click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do

Baby all I want for Christmas is you

Ooh baby

All the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won't you bring me the one I really need

Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just want to see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby all I want for Christmas is...

You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby (repeat and fade)

——End song——

Everyone shouts out, "Thank You, Wesley Tran!"

Yai calls to us, "Don't forget to call in other readers to read this and inspire the author, Star AJT 84 into writing the other characters you like day-by-day before December 23rd!" Maylu backed her up, "Merry Christmas!" Shuuko joined in, "And a happy new year!"

(A/N: You've heard Joey, please review me some ideas for brief Christmas fan fictions, and I have some more characters for you to see. Happy Holidays!)

To be continued…
