So, without waiting any longer... let's get this show on the road, ok?
0000000000000000000000000
Tonight is the night and Inumon was in his dressing room, searching around the rooms in a frantic pace...
"Where's that red nose...? Where is it...? Where is it...?" Inumon muttered as he rushed towards the door. "How could I lose that red nose...? If Renamon finds out I lost it, she'll be more than happy to give me the red nose before I could refus..."
It was then that the door opened inwards and slammed into Inumon's face, causing the dog Digimon to fall on his back to twitter like a moron.
Entering the room, Knuckles looked down to find Inumon and frowned. "There you are... sleeping on the job again...? I don't believe you... have you found your red nose yet...?"
Nodding slowly, Inumon pointed to his nose that went bright red after wacking it against the door. "Yeah... it was on my face the WHOLE time... twitter... twitter..."
00000000000000000000000000
Standing upon the stage, Sonic faced the audience and bowed. "Welcome, everyone! This is the play of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and as you know, Knuckles and everyone else did their hardest to make sure that nothing will go wrong with this play... Although, knowing our previous experience after witnessing their plays, I'm sure all of you are hoping to get some laughs tonight..."
Knuckles popped his head out the side of the stage. "Hurry up, Sonic... the paint has dried up so, we can begin!"
Nodding, Sonic pointed to the side of the stage. "All right... let's begin! First up, enter the main character! Rudolph!"
And Inumon comes onto the stage, with his nose wrapped around in bandages and painted red. He grumbled as the audience clapped and chuckled a little. "Difficult to breath here..."
"And the main villain... Stormella!" Sonic announced as he pointed to the other side of the stage.
Crowler came onto the stage, wearing his Stormella costume... except, he also wore a ski mask over his face as he walked beside Inumon. "I'm trying to hold my dignity here..."
Inumon sweatdropped. "Going for a Psycho look, are we...?"
Glaring at Inumon, Crowler whispered. "I am wearing this mask because I don't want ANYONE to reconise me..."
It was then, that Jaden Yuki spoke up from the crowd. "Hey, Dr Crowler! Nice dress your wearing!"
As Crowler sweatdropped, Inumon muttered in a sarcastic voice. "Oh yes... no one has any idea who you really are..."
Moments later, Crowler was standing on his own with a Lapras at his side... seeing as Stormella has ice powers... and Crowler doesn't so... he has to make do with a Pokemon.
From behind the stage, Knuckles stood beside a target with a red X in the middle while pointing at it. "After you have done your speech, have Lapras use Ice Beam on this target!"
Nodding, Crowler coughed. "That foolish Santa will pay for refusing me to hand over those idiots who ruined my ice sculpture garden! It was an accident...? Pah! I swear, if they ever walk over my bridge, I shall make a storm that they will never forget! Hahaha... as I shall show you all who defy me..."
And silence... Crowler looked at Lapras desperatly... whom looked back with a confused face. A sigh caught their attention as Knuckles rubbed his forehead. "Crowler... just give Lapras the same command as you did with your Ancient Gear Golem..."
With a nod, Crowler pointed at the target. "Lapras, Mechanized Melee!"
After doing an anime fall, Knuckles stopped out and glared at Crowler. "NOT LIKE THAT! I MEAN, LIKE THIS! LAPRAS, USE ICE BEAM NOW!"
With a jump, Lapras unleashed an Ice Beam... that struck Knuckles. The red echidna was now shivering with only his head appearing over a block of ice.
With a sweatdrop, Crowler nodded slowly. "Well... that works..."
"N-N-N-N-Next s-s-s-s-scene... p-p-p-p-please..." Knuckles said, shivering like crazy.
Few scenes later... the audience was trying their best not to laugh... minus a few who giggled... as they watched the cast of the reindeers... minus Inumon... running on running machines while being hooked up to Sheppherd's sleigh.
With a happy smile, Sheppherd spoke. "Well... this is a nice night, isn't it...?"
Espio muttered. "I lost... my dignity..."
Kenta sweatdropped. "As if you had any already..."
"Listen... why not make a small conversation... something to... pass this scene...?" Davis noted.
Joey looked down and smiled. "Hey! I can see my house from here!"
It took a lot of willpower from Davis to not fall to the ground while running on the running machine and sighed. "Yeah... I should have kept my mouth shut..."
Two scenes later, Rudolph and Zoey were in the front row of the audience and cringed at the sight. Turning to his friend, Rudolph smiled slightly. "I am glad you are much kinder than Renamon is, Zoey..."
Zoey nodded. "Yeah... I would never do to you as what she did to that poor Inumon..."
Beside them, Tails sighed. "That's because Rudolph wouldn't ask Zoey if he could touch her butt..."
"Like Inumon did..." Velene muttered.
In the backstage, Knuckles stood over a pained Inumon as he held... his space while cringing in pain. "OK... Do you have any comments now, Inumon...?"
Inumon squeaked. "Five stamps on tail... four wacks on head... three kicks to the groin... two punches in the nose..."
"And a baka mutt in the nut tree!" Mighty finished.
Sweatdropping, Knuckles rubbed his head. "That sounds familiar..."
It was now the same scene with the reindeer sleigh, except now... Inumon was in front as Rudolph... while they all ran on the running machines with Shepherd at the back.
"I am feeling uneasy doing this..." Inumon muttered as he ran.
Tai huffed and puffed. "Why...? You scared of running...?"
Inumon shook his head. "No, no... running is my life... just ask Renamon and Huskymon..."
Sweatdropping, Matt shook his head. "Then... why are you uneasy...?"
Glancing down at the running machine, Inumon groaned. "Last time I went on this machine, Impmon showed me how to fly..."
Chuckling, Tai jerked a thumb to the back-stage. "Don't worry about him, Knuckles has dealt with him already..."
At the back stage, Knuckles was grinning. "Comfortable, Impmon...?"
Completly tied up, Impmon just said this underneath his gag. "Grr..."
Sighing, Inumon kept the pace up. "OK... if you say so... I'll just enjoy the run..."
Matt nodded. "Good... nothing will go wrong... I promise..."
It was then, that the running machine started to whirr faster and faster and the nine actors started to run for their lives as not to fall off.
Tai glared at Matt. "You were saying...?"
Matt pretended not to look at Tai. "Oh look... a Devidramon..."
Kazu ran for his life. "OH MAN... WHAT'S GOING ON HERE...?"
"IS SOMEONE TRYING TO TEACH US HOW TO RUN FAST AS SONIC...?" Kenta asked out loud.
With a scared face, Joey grabbed hold on the bars at his side as he continued to run fast. "I THOUGHT IMPMON IS TIED UP!"
"SO DID I!" Tristan yelled.
Turning his head to the back-stage, Espio yelled. "KNUCKLES! WHO TURNED UP THE SPEED...?"
And in the back-stage, Knuckles was glaring over at a small, purple dragon. "Monodramon... when I said 'do not touch that',... I mean... DON'T TOUCH!"
Monodramon smiled sheepishly. "Sorry..."
With a sigh, Knuckles grabbed the remote from Monodramon's hands and looked for the button. "I better stop this before Inumon and the others find a way to stop running themselves..."
Renamon went underneath the stage. "Don't worry... I'll fix this..."
Blinking, Knuckles scratched his head. "How...? It's not like your gonna pull the plug... if you did... Inumon will be flying once again with eight others behind him..."
(CLICK...)
A second later...
(SCREECH!) "ARGH!" (CRASH!)
And Renamon came back up with a smile. "Finished..."
Sweatdropping, Knuckles shrugged. "That's one way to fix a mess..."
Vector called to the back. "Hey, bone-head! Call an ambulence!"
SkullSatamon poked his head around the corner. "OK... what's the number for 911?"
And the sweatdrop got bigger for Knuckles as he resisted the urge to fall to the ground. "Oh brother..."
Later, Sonic was in the audience... speaking to Rudolph's father, Blitzen with a smile. "So... tell me, Blitz... did this happen to you, your son and your fellow reindeers when your pulling Santa's sleigh...?"
Blitzen shook his head. "Not that I know of... no..."
Grinning, Sonic looked around at the sniggering audience and a clear, loud voice. "There you have it, ladies and gentlemen... another great performance from Knuckles and his cast!"
On the stage, Knuckles was glaring at Sonic while he was still in the audience. "Sonic... how can I put this nicely...? SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"
At the side of the stage, Megaman chuckled. "Good one, Knuckles... reminds me of the early tag-lines for the WWE Smackdown.."
Sighing, Knuckles glared at Megaman. "Shut your mou... yap!"
Chuckling, Sonic called back. "You've finished the play, Knuckles... why not have the cast take a bow...?"
Turning around, Knuckles sighed as only Crowler, Shepherd and Renamon were on the stage. "We had more than three... and they met up with a major problem..."
Renamon nodded. "About... $500 worth of bandages, casts and plasters... major-type of problem..."
"What about the ones who played as Santa's Little Helpers...?" Sonic asked.
Before Knuckles could say something, the audience started to roar in laughter. Turning around, the red echidna sweatdropped as Vector, Mighty and Charmy walked onto the stage in credit card suits. "That's why..."
Grinning sheepishly, Vector waved slightly. "Well, Knuckles... I know what your going to say..."
Knuckles raised an eyebrow. "You do...?"
Nodding, Vector pointed to the audience. "Yes, we do... and we can't say it because there are children here..."
With a groan, Knuckles tugged on Mighty's credit card suit. "Why...? It's elves... ELVES!"
Mighty just waved his hand. "Calm down, Knuckles... we know that... it's just we couldn't find elf suits in time... along with big pointy ears."
Charmy nodded. "I agree... so, we had to make do with these card suits..."
"Personally... I think pointy ears should be hidden by long strands of hair or something..." Vector said. "Heh... then again, who wants to make their hair ending up in stupid dreadlocks... Right, Knuckles...?"
With his dreadlocks waving slightly, Knuckles gave Vector a death glare. "Did you say something...?"
Vector nodded. "Yeah... let's take a bow..."
Mighty smirked. "After what Knuckles will do to ya, you'll be bowing a LOT!"
And then, a mummified Digimon came out with a baseball bat and walked over to the running machines. "YOU SHALL PAY FOR OUR DAMAGES, YOU EVIL MACHINE!"
Charmy sweatdropped and blinked. "Erm... who is that...? Mummymon...?"
Grinning, Renamon shook her head. "Nope... meet MummyInumon... sworn enemy of the running machines..."
Inumon waved the bat about, glaring at the running machine he was on... "IT'S TIME TO DIE!"
"Bash that machine and YOU'LL die!" Knuckles growled.
Growling, Inumon stepped back as he kept his gaze on the machine. "You got lucky, punk..."
Shepherd rubbed his head. "I guess he hit his head pretty hard, huh...?"
Sniggering, Renamon shook her head. "Oh no... he's just fine..."
With a major sigh, Knuckles turned to the audience. "And this is the end of the play, everyone... thank you for coming... we would have the cast take a bow except, eight of them are in bandages and are busy trying to resist themselves from killing Monodramon due a small misunderstanding..."
"Which involves him, the running machines, nine guys dressed as reindeers and a speed-changing device...?" Megaman asked.
Sweatdropping, Knuckles nodded slowly. "Yes... well... ok... like I said before, thank you for coming and MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
Turning to us readers, Sonic held up a calander with the words 'February' on it and smirked. "A bit late, huh...?"
000000000000000000000000000
And thus, the Xmas play of 2005 is over! And once the final chapter of this very-late Xmas fic is over, I am off to continue my Mega Crossover...
Sorry it is so short but, I haven't got a lot of imaginations for this chapter. It was difficult for me to complete it. However, maybe you'll enjoy chapter 7 as you'll see what I have in store.
Until the next time, see ya!
