A/N: It's the second to last chapter... all I will say is that the last next chapter preview was evoking "trailers always lie" the battle doesn't go as you'd expect it would. Enjoy!

Chapter 4: The Battle for Christmas!

They watched in horror as the cave began to crumble around them.

"Does any one have some kind of teleportation spell?" asked Haruhi.

"No…" said Negi and Lina.

That was when the evil group created began to chant and they were all engulfed by a bright light.

When the light died down, they found themselves outside of the caves.

"Prepare to see what sort of things the Demon King can do." Said the old man who was the leader.

That was when the Demon King broke though the cave, it was pure black with red eyes and very large horns not to mention a giant.

"Where's Santa?" asked Luffy.

"At the heart." Said the old man, "This is the great Demon King, a massive demon that once tried to destroy Christmas, someone whom we believe to our ancestors, sealed it into this cave."

"Hey brat." Said Lina to Negi, "Ever heard of him?"

"Can't say I have." Said Negi.

"Of course all of the records of the great demon king were destroyed. "said the old man, "Same with the people who created it, it was said another group of ancestors were behind it's creation."

"So basically you're descended from two groups of ancestors behind it." Said Lina with a sweat drop.

"Maybe the two groups married each other." Said Luffy.

"That's the only theory I can come up with." Said Naruto.

"You're both idiots!" yelled Lina, "Which is why I'm taking over!"

"Oh come on!" yelled both.

"All right, myself, Luffy and Negi will handle the big guns! The rest of you delay it for now." Said Lina.

"Delay it how?" asked Pinkie.

"Just figure out a way." Said Lina.

The ones in charge with distraction each took out a weapon (expect for Pinkie who took out a rubber chicken).

"All right!" yelled Naruto throwing a kunai at the giant demon king.

That was when the Demon king roared in pain, they all stared at it, as it appeared to be tearing up.

"Wait…" said Naruto, "That's… that's making it cry?"

"Haruhi can you shoot it?" asked Lina.

Haruhi shrugged and shot it in the knee, it began to clutch it, moaning in pain (much like Peter Griffin would).

"It's that stupid mirror all over again." Muttered Lina.

"What do you mean?" asked Naruto.

"I get it!" said Haruhi she turned to the evil group, "You're descended from the group that sealed and the group that created it."

"That's right." Said the old man, "They're separated groups"

"Hate to break it to you, but their the same group." Said Lina.

"They were so ashamed by they're creation they sealed it away." Said Konata.

A wind blew it in to symbolize the awkwardness.

"You're… you're kidding." Said the old man.

Tomo walked up the demon king and pinched it, causing it to scream in pain.

"It seems to have an extremely low pain tolerance." Said Negi.

"So we don't have to fight this thing?" asked Pinkie.

"No we do." Said Negi, "Santa is still in there."

"Fight him Santa! You can't do it!" yelled Pinkie.

"That's right!" yelled Tomo.

That was when Lina smacked both of them.

""You didn't have to hit them." Said Naruto

Lina glared at Naruto, who hid behind Luffy.

"She's worse than Sakura." Said Naruto.

"What's the heart of the Demon King?" asked Haruhi.

"We'll never tell!" yelled the old man.

"It's a purple Crystal in it's chest, hopefully Santa is still alive!" yelled one of the followers.

"Why are you telling them?" asked the old man.

"Because I value my life and the fact that's it's obvious we lost." Said the follower.

"We haven't lost." Said the old man.

The old man proceeded to be beaten up by his followers.

"I will admit defeat!" said the old man.

"Okay how do we knock out the not so demon king?" asked Haruhi.

"Pikachu! Use Electro Ball!" called out Ash.

Pikachu used the electric type move and the demon king was unable to battle.

"Was unable to battle really necessary?" asked Tomo.

"Yes, it was." Said Konata.

That was when the Demon got up.

"I thought I knocked it out!" said Ash.

That was when the Demon King began to cry.

"This is getting really weird." Said Lina.

"Do we really have to kill him in order to free Santa?" asked Pinkie, "It looks so nice."

"We have to." Sighed Luffy.

"Unless Santa learned how to control the thing like a Gundam." Said Konata.

There was a silence.

"Okay show of hands." Said the female follower that held the captives, "Who wants to really see that?"

"We have to kill it to save Christmas." Said Luffy.

That was when the Demon King fell down and seemed to be vomiting.

"What's going on?" asked Haruhi.

"Well in order to pacify Santa, I gave him some booze. "said one of the other followers.

"YOU DID WHAT!" yelled everyone but Pinkie.

"Why was that a bad thing?" asked the follower.

"Santa Claus was a nutritious drunk" said the old man, "He would often get slammed."

"It's the reason why me and Luffy know him in the first place an evil group took away medicine that prevent him from fit shaced when he delivered presents." Said Naruto.

"How much did you give him?" asked the old man.

"Um… every ounce we had…" said the follower.

There was an awkward silence as another awkward wind blew.

"I'm going to die aren't I?" asked the follower.

"I doubt Mrs. Claus isn't going to have you become one of her undead followers, that's for sure." Said the female follower.

That was when the Demon King convulsed and vomited up a purple Crystal before turning into dust.

Luffy and Naruto ran up to the Crystal and both of them punched it breaking it.

"What… what's going on?" asked Santa waking up, "Oh it's my favorite fox boy and rubber band… I know you've been good this year despite being a dirty pirate and having the ninja equivalent of Satan in you."

"We saved Santa!" cheered Pinkie.

"We were even needed?" asked Haruhi.

Santa proceeded to vomit then pass out.

"No… this was pointless…" said Lina.

And so… Santa was saved? Maybe… Quite possibly…

Okay Lina was right, it was pointless.

Next Time: They have only several hours until Santa starts his run! Can they sober him in time? Will Santa be able to do something? Will Christmas be saved? Yes, it was...

A/N: I'll update on the 24th, until then (unless you read my other stories).
