A/N: This chapter would have been the one I would have done a musical number to... but I'm not good at writing half assed songs (I really have to put something thoughts in the songs... like this one I'm planning to write for my novel), Also I did not make up the three villains for the fic... anyone gets a cookie for whoever guesses correctly where they came from (And a bonus cookie from where I got the idea for what Mrs. Claus really is). ]
Also the first full episode of Anime Puppet Time Theater is up, much earlier than I thought it would be.
Well... enjoy the chapter...
Chapter 3: This Trinity's Going to War!
Ichigo opened his eyes to find, he, Naruto and Luffy were in a toyshop. They also noticed the elves gathered around them.
"Okay… this is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me." Muttered Ichigo.
"Wow… you're surprised when weird things happen to you… funny…" said Naruto.
That's when one of the elves came to greet them.
"Welcome you three! It is an honor of having the holy Trinity of Shonen to be here with us… even though all of you are borderline naughty." Said the elf.
"Why?" asked Luffy.
"Because you're a pirate and those two have evil creatures buried deep in their souls." Said the elf, "But you're on the good side of things so you're one the nice list."
"That… makes sense…" said Ichigo with a big seat drop.
"Now that you're helping us, I'll explain things…" said the elf, "You see Santa is a really big drunk… so big that we have to give him special pills that make him sober during the Christmas ride. Last night they turned up missing so Santa decided he should do his yearly ride anyways… As to be expected it didn't work out."
They noticed Santa barfing in a bucket again.
"We suspects it has something to do with whoever stole the sleigh." Said the elf.
"That makes sense." Sighed Ichigo.
The Elf lead them to his screen, "Due to the fact that three stole the sleigh we have three suspects." He said.
"Who?" asked Naruto.
The elf typed into the computer, which showed three figures… one was some sort of marching band members, one a was a giant nut cracker and the last was something that was half frosty and half Santa.
"The first is the little Drummer Boy who's mystical drum conjures demons most foul." Said the elf.
"Okay…" said Naruto.
"The Nut Cracker who knows over 100 hundred testicle based attacks." Said the elf.
"He's mine…" muttered Ichigo, still made over what happened earlier.
"And Composite Santa Claus, who looks like one half Santa and one half Frosty." Said the elf.
"What are his powers?" asked Luffy.
"I have no idea… but he freaks the hell out of me!" yelled the elf.
"Wait a second!" yelled Naruto, "I've seen this before! Mrs. Claus is the master mind!"
"Not this year…" came a voice.
They turned around and saw an old woman who was obviously Mrs. Claus.
"Last year I got angry with my husband and took it out on him almost running Christmas… but not this year." Said Mrs. Claus giving a big smile and showing off her teeth revealing she had fangs.
"So is she?" asked Naruto.
"Yes, Mrs. Claus is a vampire and not just anyone, but the Head Head Vampire." Said the elf.
Ichigo, Luffy and Naruto exchanged looks and shrugged.
"Since you three volunteered yourself to go help Santa…" said the Elf.
"I didn't volunteer! I got sucked into this because Santa crashed on my roof! They volunteered for this!" yelled Ichigo.
"Whatever…" mumbled the Elf, "You have to go meet H in his work shop, if you're going to fight them…"
"Who's H?" asked Naruto.
Sometime later they were in an elf's workshop… however it wasn't full of toys, but rather spy equipment… Christmas themed spy equipment… but spy equipment nonetheless.
"So I heard that you're the three that's helping Santa." Said a blonde elf wearing a lab coat.
"Hey, aren't you that elf that became a dentist?" asked Naruto.
"No that's my father… who I'm named after." Said the Elf, "But you can call me H."
"Okay…" said Luffy.
"I had to admit I'm big fans yours so I came up with epsilons that suit each of your needs." Said H.
"You knew Luffy and Naruto would eventually save Christmas, didn't you?" asked Ichigo.
"Yes, yes I did." Answered H, "What I wasn't expecting was you."
H began to show them weapons that he made, first off were a bunch of Kunai that were pained like candy canes.
"This Kunai are separately made, they can repel enemy attack as well as being used like regular Kunai, not only that but it also masks the scent of blood." Said H.
"Awesome!" yelled Naruto.
"Now, Luffy, I know you're not one for weapons, so I made you this." Said H taking out tray of cookies, "You can try one now, but wait 'till later to eat more when you'll need it."
Luffy took one and ate it, "It tastes like meat!" yelled Luffy happily.
"Meat flavored cookies?" asked Ichigo with a disgusted look on his face.
"Ewww…" muttered Naruto.
"These cookies, have vitamins, and nutrients with the high power and flavor of meat." Said H.
"Was that meat to hide the flavor of the vitamins?" asked Ichigo.
"No… you know Luffy's tastes, he loved meat." Said H.
"Good point…" said Ichigo with a sweat drop.
"Now Ichigo, I have something for you." Said H taking out a flamer thrower.
"Why are you giving this to me?" asked Ichigo.
"I wasn't' expecting you, and I needed something to use it." Said H.
"Why?" asked Ichigo.
"Because, Composite Santa Claus' one weakness is temperatures over 32 degrees." Said H.
"Oh… I see…" said Ichigo with a big sweat drop.
"Now one more thing!" said H.
"What?" asked Naruto.
Sometime later in some changing rooms.
"I can't believe we have to wear these things!" yelled Ichigo from inside the room.
"I know… sure their in our style but…" said Naruto from inside his room.
"I don't have in problems with them." Answered Luffy form his room.
"Are you done yet?" asked H.
Luffy came out of the room with a red and green version of his outfit, with the vest being green and the pants being red.
"Fine…" muttered Naruto.
Naruto came out with the orange part being red, and the black part being Green (he's the Shippuden Naruto incase you've been wondering… sorry I didn't mention that before).
"Ichigo!" yelled H.
"I'm not coming out!" yelled Ichigo form the dressing room.
"Fine, I'll tell Santa that you'll just get coal then." Said H.
"Oh no… coal… I'm so sad." Said Ichigo very, very sarcastically.
"Fine, if you don't come out, I'm going to storm in and take pictures of you and send them on the cover of a card to your friends and family… as well as annoying rivals." Said H.
"Damn it!" yelled Ichigo who came out in a Soul Reaper outfit with the black part red and the white area being green.
"Okay… these outfits will protect you form any attack that they will throw at you." Said H.
"You couldn't just give us cups… could you?" asked Ichigo.
"What about the demons most foul? Did you ever think of those?" asked H.
Ichigo gritted his teeth, "Fine…" muttered Ichigo.
"One more thing." Said H, who brought them into another room, bringing them to three strange well sleighs, one of them looked like a pirate ship with the Straw Hats jolly roger on it, one of them was orange with leaf symbols and one of them was black with the Subtitle soul reaper insignia on it.
"So cool!" yelled Luffy.
"How are we going to fly those things?" asked Ichigo.
"Don't worry… they're preprogrammed to find Santa's sleigh… oh and, one of you will have to have Santa be in your sleigh so that she be taken to his sleigh." Said H.
Santa was still stinking drunk and was being propped up by elves.
"He just took some of his medication so he'll be sober within a few hours." Said H.
"I'll go it." Aid Luffy with a shrug.
Both Naruto and Ichigo breathed a sighed of relief when they found that they didn't have to drive him there.
The each got into their sleigh with Santa joining Luffy, where the roof opened up and all three sleighs gear up, went into the air and flew to where the three evil doers stole Santa's sleigh…
Next Time: Ichigo, Naruto and Luffy must fight the three who stole the sleigh... but who's really the mastermind here? And why did he do it? Find out next time!
