Back in Corona, most of the other citizens are now affected by McCopper's curse.
"WE MUST DESTROY CHRISTMAS!" King Frederic exclaimed. Everyone is now attacking the kingdom, creating total chaos. A man farts while holding a lit match to his butt and melts a child's snowman down, causing her to cry.
"DIE, FAT MAN!" A woman growled as her dog attacks a model of Santa and tears it up like an animal, causing the model's head to fall to the ground.
"THAT LADY'S DOG JUST KILLED SANTA CLAUS!" A child screamed. Local children ran away, but some got consumed by the curse as well.
Queen Arianna cackles maniacally as she punches a house strongly, tearing the wall down and showing a naked man in a bathtub.
"No, no, no, no, NO, NOOO!" the man screams as his bathtub slid down, falls to the ground and breaks.
"Shaddap!" shouted a tainted boy. He smacks the man in the face and laughs.
A curse-tainted girl shovels the snow and then stops in one spot. "There we go." It's revealed she made the words 'Santa Hates Puppies' in the snow. "Oh, Sally, you sly old fox!"
"Oh, yeah?" Her friend remarked. "That's nothing. Check this out!" He shows her that he made four snowmen near a sled and it looks like the sled ran over one them are staring in shock. "Live long and SUCK it!"
Now everyone in the kingdom has been consumed by the curse and are doing all sorts of naughty stuff.
Back at the North Pole, Alfred checks the map globe, which shows a giant green shape representing the curse spreading and it has now reached its 80's.
"The curse has now reached its 80's! We don't have much time!" he warned.
"I'd like to give that old scroogy McCopper jerkoff a Christmas being for mesmerizing my parents and their citizens and making them Christmas haters!" Rapunzel said angrily.
Pascal agrees with an angry look as well.
"Firstly, don't worry about McCopper." Eugene said, trying to calm his angry wife. "Come Christmas Eve, he'll finally learn to improve his attitude. He'll no longer be a threat."
At McCopper Manor, Scrooge is scared at the sight of the third ghost, who was wearing a robe with his hood up. "I… are you… the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come?" he asked shakily.
"I prefer the term 'Ghost of Christmas Future'." The ghost said in a dark, brooding voice. "That's how they thought of me in the 16th century. And allow me to say a few things. Firstly, let me show what goes on in your soon-to-be-unpleasant result if you allow the curse to continue. It's up to you to defeat it or else THIS will follow."
McCopper suddenly finds himself in a darker North Pole and sees a horrible-looking factory as he reacts horribly to a smell. "OOOHHHH! PYEWEE! That's some stink. It smells like the fart of a fossilized dinosaur! Where am I?!"
"The metaphorical ghost of the former shell, of Santa's workshop. Because of your curse, Santa had no choice but to cancel his deliveries this year. As a result, nobody believed in Christmas, and therefore nobody believed in peace and goodwill. Chaos erupted and lawlessness dominated. Millions of people have died. As for the workshop, Christmas was struggled to be fixed, but because everyone was so naughty for years, there was no need for Santa anymore. Yet, Santa still tried his best to bring peace for the good of everyone who lost their goodwill because of A SCROOGE!"
"What kind of ghost are you?!"
"Well, what did you expect? The future is an unknown subject, and most of speculation derives from horror and death. This is all that's left of Santa's workshop. Just look at the toxic waste they've produced searching for a new resource since the chaos resulted in their power shorting out!" Loads of toxic waste is seen all over the workshop, and even spreading into the ocean. "In fact, the toxins are taking as much of a toll on the elves than the workshop.
"What?"
"Take a look!" They are magically sent inside the workshop. "As the toxins spread, the elves has been exposed to it so much while trying to keep up with finding a new resource. Now they're a race of genetically mutated disasters. Almost 60% of them are born blind!" An elf sows up a teddy bear, but then it goes into his skin. He screams in pain and runs off. Then Alfred, Teddy, Dougie and Grace. "The workload destroys them. But they don't know anything else. They've been brainwashed so much by the toxins that they think of nothing else but to make toys and find a new resource, completely forgetting about what the purpose of them is. Not to mention the reindeer have quit to avoid ending up like these poor elves. Now the reindeer spend most of their mortal-ized lives on an island that's the only place free of the injustice and terror that goes on. As for poor Santa…well…" The ghost teleports them to Santa's office and shows Santa is now very sick with medical appliances supporting him. "He's now turned completely ill, not just from the toxins, but by the cold that resulted in them losing their temperature control and allowing him to become even MORE sick. By next year, he'll surely die." Santa coughs out blood as a deformed elf brings him undercooked toast.
"Thanks, Nedry!" Santa said and gulps it down.
"EWW! NASTY!" McCopper reacted disgustedly. "Okay, what's wrong with you, spirit?! Is this your demented sense of cruelty and torture? I mean, why in the flying freak would Santa allow something like THIS to happen!"
"HIM?! He didn't do this!" the ghost responded with a loud booming voice. "YOOOOOOOOOU DID!"
A song comes on as Santa is suddenly able to see both of them.
Santa:
Each bell would peel with a silvery zeal
As the holiday feeling was filling us.
But now instead, all we're feeling is dread
Because Christmastime is killing us!
Elves:
Each Christmas list gets us more and more pissed
Till the though of existence is chilling us.
Santa:
I'll tell you what.
Shove your list up your butt
(with elves joining) Christmastime is killing us!
Ghost of Christmas Future:
But can't you see that what you do
Is a dream come true?
Can't you see that every smile
Makes it all worthwhile?
Santa:
No, screw you!
It's all but through,
There's too much to do.
All those dreams are nightmares
And blank icy stares.
Each little elf used to fill up a shelf
Making playthings and selflessly thrilling us.
Now they're on crack and it feels like Iraq
Because Christmastime is killing us!
Elves:
Each model train only heightens the pain
Of the workload that's straining and drilling us.
Santa:
Fingers all bleed and look!
That guy just peed
Because Christmastime is killing us!
Ghost of Christmas Future:
But can't you see our point of view?
We rely on you.
Can't you see that Christmas cheer
Gets us through the year?
Santa:
My whole crew is black and blue.
Can't you take a clue?
You may think I look great,
But I'm 28!
Santa and Elves:
Each jingle bell is a requiem knell,
And while you think it's swell, we are toiling in hell!
Santa:
Take a look, you can tell, as a man, I'm a shell!
(with elves) Because Christmastime is killing us!
Killing us!
Christmastime is killing us!
"Please tell me it doesn't get worse." McCopper said.
"Well, I'd be lying if I said, 'It'll be just fine'…WHICH IT WON'T BE, PAL!" The ghost replied. They are then sent to his hometown.
"Spirit, what happened to this town?"
"Let's just say…in a nice way…It's seen better days. A lot of people became crooks now, or at the very least, uncaring people. The nice people that still exist hide in their homes in fear of the disaster before them."
"I can hardly believe this, I—" McCopper started to say, but then sees some corrupted-looking noblemen. "I know those men! They're rich men I've seen a lot on the New Year Auctions."
"That's right, and they were once decent rich men. But thanks to you, they're as evil as stereotypical evil greedy freaks that hate the environment and rights for the less fortunate 99%. Thanks to evil becoming more dominant, criminals have successfully dominated the government. And the one who was responsible for all this chaos was YOU! All because you hated a simple holiday that was meant to keep peace alive. No Christmas, no peace and goodwill!"
"Spirit, all this happened because of a curse? One simple curse to punish a holiday for reminding me of something I had a problem with, caused something like THIS?! How is that even possible?"
"You'd be amazed how one fatal mistake can affect everyone that's caught in its radius."
"So literally, in the final days of this…awful empire…nothing is considered sacred anymore?"
"Oh, you have no freaking idea, pal. Like I said, Christmas keeps peace alive and well, and if it's destroyed, so is peace. There are even no limits on robbing from the dead. In fact, right now there's some plunderers that were once decent people that you know heading to the shop of a corrupted pawn broker. Behold!"
McCopper turns to see a damaged pawn shop as he sees corrupted versions of Henry, Miss Porter and a launder he knows heading to a shop owned by a man wearing an eye patch.
"Henry?! Miss Porter?! Miss Maples?! What's happened to them?" he asked.
"Victims of the loss of morality." The ghost answered. "They robbed what is left of your mansion, and are about to sell it off."
"MY MANSION?! They would never do such a thing!"
"Not when they're corrupted, they wouldn't. Surely you know that this is what happened when you completed the curse."
The two appear at the shop to get a closer look.
"Well, ze maid, ze launder, and ze butler." The eyepatch-wearing man greeted in a German accent and chuckled. "Vhat goods from a poor stiff did you rob zhis time?"
"It's what's left of a former possession I had." Miss Porter answered as she brings up bed curtains. "I think these might be worth a fortune, won't it, Ol' Buzz?"
"His bed curtains?" Ol' Buzz cackles. "Don't tell me you plundered these while he was STILL THERE!"
"Why should I care? He's responsible for the worse life ever. Not like anyone gives a crap these days.
"I got his cane and suit." Henry said as he shows the mentioned items.
"I got his sheets." Miss Maples said and shows them as everyone paused. Henry, Porter and Buzz laughed. "WHAT?! COME ON, I'M SURE IT'S WORTH A FORTUNE!"
"Oh, whatever!" Buzz said. "Let me just give you your earned money." He pays Henry and Miss Porter a dozen dollars. He also paid Maples only one nickel.
Maples reacts angrily, grabs Miss Porter's dollars, but they get into a brawl for a while.
McCopper is mortified. "I know I should technically be mad for these treasonous acts, but…it's not their fault they act like this. You said so yourself, spirit. Everyone has gone insane from this madness."
"That's nothing!" The ghost responded. "You should hear what happened to Paige after all this! She—"
"Spirit, I don't want to see those poor souls like this, and I certainly don't wish to learn of Paige! Take me somewhere else! Surely Darwin, as much as I hate him now, has never benefitted from this."
"You couldn't be more wrong, McCopper! Here is another story." They teleport to a local store. "Here is where Darwin works."
Scrooge recognizes the top of the shop. "Is it me, or has this guy been making a lot more than what he's worth?"
"That's because he achieved the goal that you had failed to do. Become the greatest businessman in the world. He had purchased your company when it was taken from you, and now he makes lots more money." They look inside to see Darwin dive into a pool of dollars.
"HA-HAH! I did it!" Darwin laughed. "I finally did it. McCopper's dream is MINE! I'm the best businessman in the world! So what if there is no longer rules to abide by, I still have riches to make a great living. And what's best, I'm glad that McCopper Is gone and unable to stop me. I WILL BE THE BEST BUSINESSMAN FOREVER! Well, not forever, but soon." He cackles.
"Geez, what a jack!" Scrooge exclaimed. "I hope he's happy. If there's anything their cousins, the Weasleys, had shown me, he's in for an unpleasant surprise at the end of his life. But overall, if I ever get out of this, I'll go straight up to his store building and rip his guts off and shove them in his—"
The Ghost cuts him off. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not get personal, Scrooge!"
"Wait a minute. John. How's John doing? In fact, how are my employees doing?"
"Not good, I'm afraid. You see, since your company was bought by Darwin's store chain, your employees got out of a job. And they're happy, too, because they think anything's better than working with you. As for John…well…look."
They are magically sent to John's house as he is seen on the table sobbing.
"Well…whatever happened to Teeny Tom?"
"Sadly, John couldn't get the money to save him from polio, and the polio became permanent and killed him."
"Oh no!"
"But he's also sad for you."
"ME? After all this MESS?!"
"Yes. You reminded him of his dead father. He hated Christmas too because he had a Jewish heritage that was victimized by the Spanish Inquisition. He hoped for you to change. He wished for you to have a better life. Not what you would get instead. Especially since you were also the only one in the way of Darwin from buying the toy company, which came first, before buying out his wife from the cleaning supplies company. Because of it, the inside of this house truly fits what it looks out on the outside, only worse."
"John…"
"Mr. McCopper," John said with a soft sob. "If only you changed…then a lot of people wouldn't be…" He sobs more. "Oh, Tom, I'm so sorry I couldn't get you that vaccination as promised." He walks right near the window that Scrooge is looking through, and McCopper comes face-to-face with him, seeing all the sadness in his expression and feeling horrible about it as he left, carrying a lone crutch in his hand.
"My God! But where's the rest of his family?" Scrooge asked.
"They died off in earlier days." The Ghost of Christmas Future answered.
A tear falls down Scrooge's eye as he looks at the Ghost, who looks even more ominous. "Spirit, I didn't want this to happen. I didn't know what I was thinking about all this. Please, are these shadows what is truly set in motion, written in stone, or can they have yet to be changed?"
"You know what you have to do, McCopper! End the curse, make amends to the people you harshly mistreated, family included, and simply stop being a greedy retard." The spirit takes off his hood to reveal himself to be Hook Hand Thug.
They are then teleported to a dark cemetery and standing in front of a solitary gravestone.
"Spirit, who's lonely grave is this?" Scrooge asked. A flash of lightning, accompanied by thunder, lights up the grave, showing his name engraved on it, causing the man to gasp in horror. "YIKES!"
"Why yours, McCopper!" Hook Hand Thug's spirit spoke in a loud booming voice. "THE RICHEST MAN IN THE CEMETERY!" He cackles menacingly as he pushes Scrooge into the hole where his future self Is buried. The coffin opens and begins sucking him towards it like a black hole.
McCopper screams as he hangs onto a root for dear life and attempts to climb up to no avail. People are randomly seen in his head.
"YOU CAN DO IT, SCROOGE!" Alan shouted.
"DON'T LET THE CURSE RUIN CHRISTMAS!" Drakey yelled.
"GIVE HIM THE SLIP AND TEACH DARWIN A LESSON!" A man shouted.
"MCCOPPER, HURRY!" Paige wailed.
"PLEASE MAKE HASTE!" Henry called out as he appears with Miss Porter and Maple.
"UNCLE, PLEASE! DON'T STAY MEAN!" Sonny pleaded.
"GET YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT AND STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT!" Rapunzel screamed.
"ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT THIS, MCCOPPER! GO AND SET THINGS RIGHT!" Eugene declared.
"WE BELIEVE IN YOU!" McCopper's parents yelled.
The Ghost of Christmas Past and Present are seen in their baseless forms. "HURRY, MCCOPPER!"
"GO AND PREVENT THE RUINING OF THE HOLIDAYS AS WE KNOW IT!" Ghost of Christmas Present yelled.
"SIR, YOU MUST DO IT FOR ME AND MY FAMILY!" John pleaded.
"Pretty please, Mr. McCopper? BE BRAVE!" Teeny Tom shouted.
"BE STRONG, BROTHER! CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE! NO MATTER WHAT, WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!" Bob yelled.
The root McCopper was clinging to broke as he gets sucked towards his coffin.
"NOOOOOO! I'LL CHANGE! I'LL CHAAAANNNNGGGGEEE!" he screamed as he nears the black hole-like coffin and gets sucked in.
This is the third and final spirit. I'll bet you that Brad Garrett, who voiced Hook Hand Thug, would be the perfect actor to speak in a loud, booming and ominous voice. So, it's a good thing I chose him to be the Ghost of Christmas Future.
Now that McCopper finally learned his lesson, the next chapter will have him make amends and end the curse once and for all! I will see you all then!
