BoV- Yay, I update! Since Christmas is so near, I'm going to be updating more often then usual, so its something you can look forward to. Now, let us see Mithos' first attempt to take over Christmas!

Kratos-… This is gonna get messy.

Mithos- Mwahahahaha… Me evil!

BoV- ooook, then. So, someone do the disclaimers.

Raine- I will! Birth of Venus does not own Tales of Symphonia or Christmas, so she should stop thinking illogically like she does, and awaken to the harsh lessons of reality lest she forever be a brainless monkey.

BoV- You always have to say things the cold way, don't you?

Raine- Yes.

BoV- Meanie. Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 2: Mall Takeover!

With Mithos' super spandex/cruxis powers, it took him mere seconds to reach the Flanior mall. He entered with a huge burst of show-offy-ness and strode to where the mall workers were busy building a Santa's Workshop for the mob of snot-nosed kids the next day. Over to the side, a fat dude was complaining about how the extra large Santa outfit was to small for him. Mithos walked over to the guy. "Excuse me, mister… Are you the man impersonating Santa?" The man looked down at him. "Uh, yeah, I am. Sorry kid, you're going to come back tomorrow." Mithos however ignored him and brought out his cruxis wings. "Prepare to die." Before the guy could even give out a scream of terror Mithos let out a Judgment attack and instantly killed the guy and destroyed half the cardboard house. All the mall workers stared in fear at the insane angel.

Mithos turned to them. "From this point on, this project is under MY control! Now get to work, filthy inferior beings!" And so, Mithos' reign of jolly Christmas terror has begun.

The Next Morning…

Kratos sighed as he was flying over to Flanior. An angel had come and told him the Mithos wanted him to come over for something. But the thing that scared Kratos was the angel messenger was wearing a stupid Christmas elf uniform with a red and white striped shirt, hideous green overalls, knee socks, and a pointy elf hat. That proved to show that what Mithos had in store for him wasn't good. Speaking of stores, Kratos looked down and saw the Flanoir mall below him. But it seemed… Darker, for some reason. "Mithos, what have you done now, you psycho?"

As he landed and entered the mall, he saw what Mithos had been doing all last night. What seemed like a huge castle of evilness loomed over in the distance and a bunch of angels in those idiotic Christmas Elf uniforms were flying around with candy cane spears. On top of it all was a gigantic throne and the one sitting in it was none other then Mithos in a Santa suit and a fake beard. Kratos stood there dumbstruck until he heard Mithos call out to him. "Ah, Kratos! Perfect timing!"

Kratos looked over at Mithos angrily. "What in Martel's name have you done?" Mithos' face contorted in anger. "DON'T USE MY SISTER'S NAME IN VANE! And, if you must know, I have gained control over this mall." Kratos raised an eyebrow. "And what do you hope to accomplish through this?"

"What else?" Mithos asked crossing his arms. "Take over Christmas." Kratos gave an exasperated sigh. "Mithos, all you did was take over a mall. Not Christmas. There are many other malls that do this sort of thing, and besides, this is just insane. "

"SILENCE! I won't have anyone get in my way! Now get in uniform, Kratos! My victims will be arriving soon!" He threw a dorkish Christmas elf uniform at Kratos. He looked at it for a second before throwing it in the trash. "I refuse. I'll not be caught wearing anything this ridiculous for as long as I live."

"But wwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy?" Mithos whined. "Because it's nerdy and dorky swirled together into a geek sundae with a big helping of stupidity on top." Kratos said folding his arms. "Hmf. Fine then, meanie." Mithos pouted. Just then, a bunch of little kids came running in. "WE WANNA MEET SANTA! WE WANNA MEET SANTA!" They chorused in unison. "Excellent…" Mithos said giggling manically. "The future lifeless beings are here. Angels! Begin!" All the angels swarmed down as evil music began to play in the backround. And then, to Kratos' horror, the angels began to sing.

Bow down,

Bow down,

Before the power of Santa!

Or be crushed,

Be crushed,

Byyyyyyyyyyy…

HIS JOLLY BOOTS OF DOOM!

The angels then began to start a marching formation while Mithos was blowing kisses to everyone… Creepy, no?

Bow down,

Bow down,

Before the power of Santa!

Or be crushed,

Be crushed,

Byyyyyyyyyyy…

HIS JOLLY BOOTS OF DOOM!

As the angels finished their EXTREMELY frightening song, everyone just stood there with their mouths hanging open. Then, a little girl went up to Mithos. "Um, Mr. Santa sir? Can I tell you what I want now?" Mithos looked down at her and grinned wickedly. "Why certainly little girl. You want to become a lifeless being, don't you?"

"Not really… I just want a pony." The girl said. "Lifeless being it is, then!" Mithos said pulling out a cruxis crystal from his sack and was about to place it on the little girl. "No, Santa, no! I want a PONY!" she yelled tugging on his fake beard. "Grrr, stop it, brat! You will become a lifeless being whether you like it or not!" Mithos snarled. "NOOOO! PONY FOR ME!" the girl yelled giving one giant yank finally pulling off his beard revealing the fake within. Everyone stared for a moment until the girl shouted out in anger. "YOU'RE NOT SANTA! YOUR'E JUST A CRAZY EVIL DOO-DOO HEAD! EVERYBODY, GET HIM!"

All the children suddenly turned demonic and began to charge angrily at Mithos. "Foolish inferior children! My army of angels will kill you before you can reach… AAAAH!" He had just seen the children slaughter all of his angel guards within mere seconds and were running at Mithos chanting "KILL THE DOO-DOO HEAD PRETENDING TO BE SANTA! CUT HIS THROAT! KILL THE DOO-DOO HEAD PRETENDING TO BE SANTA! SPILL HIS BLOOD!"

"Crap, I gotta get outta here!" Mithos yelled spreading out his Cruxis wings in attempt to fly away, but he yelled in pain as he saw the little girl chomping on his leg. "Grr. You have interfered with me for the last time, filthy human!" he yelled summoning a ball of light to strike her, but before he could, the children swarmed him and started beating him to a bloody pulp. Kratos observed this safely on the sidelines. "I suppose I should help him." He took a deep breath and called out. "Hey kids! Look! It's Rudolph the red nosed reindeer!" The children immediately stopped their bloody massacre to look around in excitement. Kratos took that opportunity to grab the bloody form of Mithos and fly away from the mall and the demonic children screaming death threats at Kratos as they found that he had lied about Rudolph.

BoV- Mwahahahahahahahaha! Chapter 2 is complete! Those evil demonic kids!

Mithos- You're so mean to me…

BoV- Yeah, well you're so mean to the people of the world! So there! (sticks her tongue out) Anyway, I got the angel's song from an episode of invader Zim, and the basic gist of the evil children's chants from William Golding's novel, Lord of the Flies. Scary, scary book. But you should read it! Even if the first part is really boring, it gets good. Anyway, read and review! Mithos' adventures aren't over quite yet!
