Author Notes: Cf101, I want to show you the drawing when I'm done with it, but there's a problem. My Printer is not working, so I can't scan it, since it's a drawing that I did by hand. And I'm trying to find a way to fix it.
Chapter 10: What an Idiot.
Brago grabbed a few large empty sacks from his super sled and looked for a way into the house. He found the chimney, but the hole on the top was too small for him to fit through. The dark mamodo in the black santa outfit thought for a quick minute.
"I know what to do." said Brago with a smirk on his face. He aimed his hand at the small chimney hole and fired a 'Reis' spell at it, blasting a hole on the chimney big enough for him to slither through like a snake.
"Time to activate the camouflage system." said Brago as he pressed a small button on a watch-like device on his wrist. Within a few seconds, both his black santa suit and black santa hat turned red.
He threw the empty sacks onto his back, got onto his stomach, and began to crawl slowly down the new chimney hole he made.
It took the dark mamodo a while to get down the chimney, but if Santa can do it, then so can Brago. Even though that doesn't rhyme. He never got stuck for a single minute or two.
"Hey! May I have some stealth over here?" Brago whispered harshly at me.
And so he stuck his head out of the fireplace to see all the little human stockings all lined up in a row.
"These stockings," he said "are the first things to go." Brago took out a magnet and held it in front of the stockings. All the nails that were holding the stockings flew off the fireplace and landed onto the magnet in Brago's hands and all the stockings fell into a sack Brago had underneath them.
Brago cackled quietly as he tip toed over to a Christmas tree and began taking all the gifts underneath and stuffing them all into sacks. He just can't stop giving an evil smile, because he can't believe that he's really doing what he wants to do for so long; stealing Christmas.
Upstairs.
Brago snuck into Kiyo's room and stole a large candy cane he was holding and kissing in his sleep.
"You love me too, Megumi? Oh, why didn't you just say so in the beginning. Of course I'll go out with you." Kiyo talked in his sleep while kissing his large candy cane. Brago slid the candy cane out of Kiyo's hands and had a disgusted look on his face, cause the candy cane was now covered in Kiyo's spit.
Brago quietly exited Kiyo's room and into Zatch's room. He slowly tried to slid the candy cane out of Zatch's hands, but he wouldn't let go.
"Hey let go of that!" Zatch yelled out and Brago gasped, thinking that Zatch has found out what he's doing. "That's my yellowtail." Zatch spoke again. Brago sighed in relief that the blond was still asleep. He quickly snatched it and quickly zoomed out Zatch's room and back down stairs.
Back downstairs.
After he stuffed all of the gifts and the decorations in the entire house, he quietly rushed over to the chimney and threw the sacks up the chimney and signaled Gofure to bring more sacks to him. Brago took the new sacks and quickly tip toed to the kitchen.
Then he snuck to the icebox. There, he took the whole feast. He took the human pudding, he took the roast BEAST!
"HIKE!" Brago shouted as he hiked the roast beast from underneath himself all the way up the chimney.
He cleaned out the icebox as quick as a flash, why even Brago took the last can of human hash. Then he shoved all the food up the chimney in glee.
"I..." grinned Brago. "I'll stuff up this stupid tree."
Brago quickly rushed to the chimney and began to stuff the tree, but it was hard to do it, cause the chimney's too small to fit the whole tree in.
"Hello? Who's there?" a soft voice spoke out from nowhere.
As Brago took the tree as he started to shove, he heard a small sound that's definitely not the coo of a dove. He turned around fast, hid behind the tree, and saw that Zatch kid coming down stairs late at this hour, just to get himself a cup of cold water. Darn it, now Brago's got me doing all this rhyming crap!
"Shut up! It's not my fault!" Brago whispered harshly at me.
"I said who's there?" Zatch called again. "I know you're hiding behind our tree. Besides, why are you taking our tree?" Zatch asked a lot.
And for you all know, Brago was so smart and so slick, he thought up a lie and he thought it up quick. Well, not too quick.
"Are you gonna answer me or not?" Zatch asked more impatient this time.
Brago thought and thought and thought, until at last he came up with the perfect lie to fool this kid.
"Don't you know who I am?" Brago finally answered in a deep jolly, almost creepy tone kind of voice. "Why, I'm Santa Claus! Um... ho, ho, ho."
"Santa, why are you taking our tree?" Zatch asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"Well, you see, there's this weird light thing that won't light on a single side, plus this tree is really a bulls eye for a nuclear missile to hit. So I'm taking it over to the north pole to fix it and bring it back here, so there won't be any nuclear destruction." Brago lied.
"Oh, I see." Zatch responded. "Hey, Santa. What's Christmas really about?"
"VENGEANCE, DESTRUCTION, MURDER!" Brago shout in Zatch's face after he shot his head out of the tree. Zatch had a shocked look on his face. Brago realized that he's blowing his cover. "Uh, I mean... love, joy, family, giving, all that kind of jazz I think." Brago tried to cover up from being exposed again.
Zatch's shock look quickly changed back to normal happiness.
"And why are you up? You're suppose to be asleep until morning. Get back to bed."
"But I just came down here to get-"
"Do you want coal for Christmas or not!" Brago snapped at the blond kid.
"No, sir."
"Then get back to bed before I go into a coma."
And so his fib fooled the child. Then he patted his head and got him a drink and he sent him to bed. Well, not fully to bed.
"Uh... Santa?" Zatch asked.
"I thought I told you to go to bed!" Brago snapped again.
"I know, but I just want to tell you, that please tell Brago this. I know that he's mean, plus dark and a bit cold. But in some very special meaningful way, he's actually... friendly." said Zatch with a hopeful smile.
"Really? You think he's friendly?" Brago asked from behind the Christmas tree.
"Merry Christmas, Santa." Zatch finished and he quickly tip toed back to his room. Brago watched him went into his room and gently closed the door. Brago's face looks different than the usual faces he makes. He somehow looks a bit... happy of what Zatch said about him; friendly.
"Good kid..." Brago said with a smile, but within the next second, the smile went back to a frown. "... bbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddddd judge of character. What an idiot."
And as soon as Zatch Bell was in bed with his cup, Brago ran to the chimney and stuffed the tree up. Then he went up the chimney himself, the old liar, and the last he took was a log for their fire. On the walls, he left nothing hooks and some wire. And the one speck of food he left in the house was a crumb, that's even too small for a mouse.
"One house down and a lot more to go. This is gonna be a long, long, long night." Brago finished as he hopped down the next house's chimney.
To Be Continued...
MINI STORY.
(Me, Zero, and Kaiser are looking for some scary video clips to watch on the internet.)
(Me, Kaiser, and Zero are now watching a few video clips on Youtube dot com and we came across this video clip on Tia's Charu Saifodon spell that she unleashes on a pervert mamodo who keeps looking up her dress. Hey, Tia's freaky expression looks scary to me.)
Zero: A pissed red head about to kill a pervert? Now that's my kind of woman.
Me: I hate the rabbit ears on that pervert. It makes him look more stupid than he already is.
Kaiser: Oh great, he's getting away. He's flying like a helicopter. And Tia's turning into Medusa.
Me: Why won't she attack him? He's getting away.
Zero: I've seen this episode before back in Japan. Everyone's scared.
Kaiser: I'm not scared.
Zero: All the musicians who did all the music for this part when they're in studios...
Me and Kaiser: Yeah?
Zero: ... scared.
Kaiser: I'm still not scared.
Zero: All the characters who were on this set including Tia herself...
Me and Kaiser: Yeah?
Zero: ... scared.
Kaiser: Okay, now that you mentioned that part, maybe I'm a little scared.
Zero: I know what happens to you when you get really scared.
Kaiser: What?
Zero: You always have to go to the bathroom.
Kaiser: I do not!
Zero: Yes you do!
Kaiser: You're trying to embarrass me in front of Maiana.
Me: hey guys, is that what I think I'm seeing? Is Tia becoming more like medusa?
(Now it's at the part when Tia's gawking in anger and the sword begins to mutate.)
Kaiser: Okay on second thought, actually I do have to go to the bathroom.
Zero: Aha! See! You admitted it! You're so scared, you don't wanna watch this with us!
Kaiser: Just do me a favor; tell me what happens.
Me: Okay, we'll tell you what happens.
(Kaiser enters the bathroom)
Kaiser: (While in the bathroom) What's happening?
Me: well, all the little girls decided to form a baseball team, and Walter Mathan's gonna be their coach.
Kaiser: What! You're lying, that's not the same video clip!
Me: Okay, okay. Um, to put it simply, I think there's gonna be big trouble coming soon.
Kaiser: Just hold on a sec. I'm nearly done.
Zero: There's weird things happening. Something weird is going on with Tia's sword.
Me: There's things where they shouldn't be.
Kaiser: Hold on a sec. I'll be with you in minute.
Zero: There's weird things happening. Or... or maybe I ate something.
(Now it shows Zatch, Ponygon, Kiyo, and Megumi. Kiyo and Megumi are scared, but the expressions on their faces makes them look like they're happy and laughing at the same time.)
Zero: They're- THEY'RE HAPPY AND THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HAPPY!
Kaiser: You can explain it to me when I get there!
Me: Uh-Oh! Remember Tia's sword?
Kaiser: I- I can't hear you guys.
Me: The operative word be 'remember'. Remember Tia's sword?
Kaiser: yeah, kind of.
Me: The sword has become, what's the word I'm looking for; FREAKY.
Kaiser: Hold on, I'm almost done.
Zero: we got real trouble now.
Kaiser: What's happening?
(Now it shows the part when Tia lets out that evil shriek as it then shows Tia's sword looking all demonic like.)
Zero: Oh, geez. Oh, GEEZ! THE TIA, THE BANSHEE, THE SWORD! UH-OH! Something's transforming; either me, or the computer, or the video clip!
(Toilet flushing in background)
Me: Could you hurry back! I don't know if I feel so good!
Kaiser: Man, I thought that was gonna go on forever. Okay, what happen?
Me: Well, Tia got really mad and evil.
Kaiser: What?
Zero: Her sword mutated, everyone started to freak out and smile like lunatics.
Kaiser: What!
Me and Zero: and then she threw the sword at the pervert.
Kaiser: You're lying, you guys are just making that up!
Me: After what we saw, we couldn't be making that up.
Kaiser: All this happen while I was away.
Zero: Well... yes.
Kaiser: I miss the scary part!
