Chapter 5: Merry Christmas Everyone!


They were miles off though as Mitch wasn't in Seretii anymore he had left the city and walked for a few miles down into the countryside stopping near a tiny little cave tucked away on the Cliffside of a daisy field. There he saw Auron his father leaning against a tree staring down at a tiny gravestone placed next to the giant mighty oak as he saw Mitch approaching and smirked "What's with the sunglasses" "Oh these it's a present I used to wear them all the time back in the real world". Auron tipped his sunglasses down "Like father, like son I suppose" "Merry Christmas Mum sorry I haven't been to see the grave in awhile I only just got back into the whole festive crap recently I guess".

Kneeling down he read the gravestone that had engraved "Here lies Terra devoted mother and loving wife" in scrawled around the grave was runic markings protecting it from vandalism and any potential damage done to the body itself. "I'm sure she'd be happy you're getting back into the festivities" "Yeah no thanks to Tom and Ania" Mitch grumbled as Auron chuckled "Those two are a good influence on you whether you want to admit it or not" "Yeah I suppose so". Reaching into his robe Auron produced a metallic chain and tossed it over "It may not be much but I noticed the one you carry your pendant on is currently starting to wear out". Looking down Mitch looked at the tiny silver wolves face attached to the chain which his father had left him as a gift when they first met years ago as he took the current chain off that was chipped and charred black before re attaching the new one "It's perfect the best gift I could ask for" Mitch said as they had a brief hug and then parted their ways.

Heading back in through the East gate Mitch heard a familiar drunken voice calling out to him "MIIIITCCHHHHHHH" Tom's voice slurred as he spotted the drunken shinigami stumbling about staring at various men passing by before going "Nope not him" "That idiot he better not have gone and done anything stupid" he sighed walking over but stopped as he saw the Captain Commander walking past with a stocking full of candy obviously a gift from Juushiro Ukitake who always gave those out this time of year.

All of a sudden Tom stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the Captain Commander who stopped and saw Tom as for once he seemed a bit cheery "Merry Christmas Tom". Squinting Tom rose both his arms up "SANTA IS THAT YOU SANTA" he yelled as Mitch face palmed "God he saw the Captain Commanders beard and assumed he's Santa" he quickly began to run forward hoping to stop Tom from doing anything even more stupid but it was to late.

"Man you've lost a lot of weight Santa" he said patting the stomach of the Captain Commander and then slapped his head "AND BALD AS WELL! Plus you seem to be out of costume" "TOM STOP NOW" Mitch yelled as he looked across "Oh Mitch look I found Santa! But he isn't ion costume of course I'll soon fix that!" closing his eyes he began to dissolve the pavement of Seretii into spirit particles as the blue tiny orbs floated towards the Captain Commander latching onto his body as a furry red and white coat slowly formed along with pants and black boots. A red bobble hat emerged on the Captain Commanders head while the final touch a giant pot belly dropped out and a giant sack filled with toys replaced his walking cane as Tom stepped back admiring his handy work "Mhm now you can deliver toys to all of Seretii".

"TOM YOU IDIOT THAT'S THE CAPTAIN COMMANDER" "No you fool that's Santa Clasu seeee" for once the Captain Commanders eyes opened as he glared venom at Tom while flames slowly began to form around his body as the sack dissolved into his purple katana Ryujin Jakka. "You younguns have a lot of guts playing practical jokes on me especially on this day I may be in a good mood BUT DON'T THINK I WON'T FORGIVE THIS!"

Mitch seeing the flames forming around his zanpukto looked around and quickly shunpoed away "You're on your own buddy" he called back as Tom stared in awe at the flames "Mitch did you know Santa owned a zanpukto and a flame one like the Captain Commanders, Mitch?" turning around he saw his friend had ran away along with every resident in the general vicinity as a giant tower of flames rose up high in the air and the Captain Commander who suddenly grew 4 extra feet towered over "PREPARE FOR YOUR PUNISHMENT". Mishearing Tom raised both hands up "Present Yay I get a gift frolm Santa"

Bursting into the cafeteria Mitch slumped down onto the chair of the table as Ania and Yasuko turned to face him "Oh you're back where's Tom?" A giant explosion in the distance shook the entire cafe as smoke billowed from the location Mitch had just arrived from "That would be Tom getting his just desserts for pissing off the Captain Commander" he said grabbing a jug of sake and helping himself to a glass raising it up "Merry Christmas to all".

Tom laid face first in the pavement his body charred black from the flames as the Captain Commander had shed the clothing he was wearing and tapped Tom's body with his cane "Now let that be a lesson for you youngen don't play tricks on me ever!" Coughing up a cloud of smoke Tom grinned "I must've been a bad boy this year because Santa gave me a giant lump of coal".
