Chapter Four: The Magnavores Who Almost Ruin Christmas Part I
When we last left off Goldie and Fortuna, they were leaving the town of Charterville as they head on their way home. They decide to take a shortcut through the forest. They thought that it would be a lot more easier and faster to take the shortcut home instead of the long way. But things didn't quite turn out the way they plan. While they were walking through the snow-covered forest, the Magnavores were on their trail. They stalked the two Pokemon til they managed to caught them by surprise. Fortuna had no idea why the Magnavores were following her and her friend in the first place. But Goldie (seeming that he knows the Magnavores more then the ghost did) knew of their evil intentions to wreak Christmas for Hillhurst Mansion, and he's not going to let them have their way. He'll be damned if these three fugly freaks spoil his Holiday plans for the third time! He isn't going down without a fight. And Fortuna is willing to fight by her friend's side no matter what. She knows how important Christmas is to the jackal, and she's not going to let him down. Both of them refuse to sit by and let the Magnavores ruin Christmas for everybody at Hillhurst. The Magnavores laughed and mocked at the two Pokemon's determination to bring Christmas to Hillhurst Manor. But they knew what they're up against, and was extremely careful not to take these two lightly. So both the Pokemon and the Magnavores fought against each other in an epic battle that seem endless. (The two Pokemon had quickly took off their human disguises before the fight started.) Goldie fought with some moves he has learned like "Metal Claw", "Quick Attack", "Force Palm", "Bone Rush", "Swords Dance", "Aura Sphere", and "Dark Pulse". Fortuna fought with the moves that she has learned (thanks to Mr. Hillhurst) like "Shadow Ball", "Pain Split", "Grudge", "Confuse Ray", and "Perish Song". Typhus fought with a sword-like weapon that latches to his arm or his mouth to shoot lasers. Jara fought with a whip that releases destructive energy when crackled. Noxic fought by shooting energy blasts from his hands or his eyes. It looked like the two Pokemon were winning the battle. But in the end, the Magnavores out-smarted them. (Which is, indeed, extremely impossible because they're as dumb as chicken shit!) Goldie and Fortuna are tied up against a tree in Christmas wrapping paper, completely helpless and unable to do a damn thing about it. Noxic and Jara were busy taunting and laughing at the defeated Pokemon while Typhus carried a big sack filled with all the things that the Pokemon brought, taunting and laughing along side his pals.
"Ha!" Noxic said as he and Jara threw snowballs at the defenseless Pokemon. "Not so tough now, are you? Did you really think you can kiss up to Vexor by throwing your stupid, lame Christmas party? Did you think you can get on Vexor's good side and make us look bad? Did you two think you can replace us as Vexor's new minions? Well, you can forget it! We're not going to let you make fools out of us in front of him. Do you wanna know why? Because we're the only ones who serve Vexor. Not you little squirts!"
"Bastards!" Goldie cursed under his breath as he growled with anger. "You're not going to get away with this! I swear to God, if any of you break even one small thing out of all the things for our Christmas party, you all are gonna pay! I'll grind your bones into dust! I'll tear your organs into bite-sized pieces! I'll rip your heads off and spit down your throats! One way or another, I will make you all pay painfully!"
"That's what you think, pooch." Jara said as she and Noxic kept on throwing snowballs at the Pokemon. "All we have to do is dispose all that Christmas junk and leave you both tied up here til the Holidays are over. So that way you can't ruin the boss with your Christmas cheer or turn Hillhurst Manor into Santa Claus' workshop."
"Jara, sometimes I just don't get you three." Fortuna said as she gave the Magnavores the cold shoulder. "I know you guys all these years, and I still don't get why you all are a bunch of scrooges. Why do you hate Christmas so much? Is it because your hearts are filled with coal? Or is it because your brains are the size of chestnuts? The way I see it, I think I maybe right about the size of you guys' brains."
"Shut the hell up, you little brat!" Jara said as she threw a huge snowball at the ghost's face. "It's none of your damn business!"
"Leave her alone, you bitch!" Goldie exclaimed. "She hasn't done anything to you. You guys can pick on me whenever you want, but leave her out of this."
"Canned it, mutt!" Noxic said as he threw a really bigger snowball at the jackal's chest, causing the jackal to winced in pain. "She's friends with a creep like you. And she scares the crap out of us whenever there's a little mess at the house. So that gives us full rights to treat her as horribly as we treat you."
"Can we go now?" Typhus asked. "I'm sick of hanging around with Queer-o and his sidekick Neat Freak. Just looking at them makes me want to puke!"
Well, you're no prize pig yourself, Typhus. Fortuna thought as she smirked. In fact, you're a billion times more uglier then Jara and Noxic put together!
"I guess we should be on our way." Jara said as she and Noxic stopped throwing snowballs. "We can chill out at Hillhurst after we dumped all that Holiday garbage into the lake nearby. I'm getting bored playing with these two. We'll let the bitter cold and the wildlife around here deal with them. Have fun spending Christmas all by yourselves, goodie-two-shoes!"
"See ya!" Noxic said as he and his two fellow baddies started to leave. "Wouldn't wanna be ya!"
"Motherfuckers!" Goldie barked and growled in a furious rage as he struggled with all his might, hoping to free himself and Fortuna so they can stop the Magnavores from ruinning their Christmas. "You can't leave us here! Come back and fight, you cowards! You can't do this to us!"
"Oh, yeah?" Jara said as she and the other two Magnavores stopped to look at the two Pokemon for a second. "Just watch us."
"Please!" Fortuna begged deseparately. "Think about what you're doing."
"You think about it!" Typhus said. "We're busy."
Just before the Magnavores could leave, Octoroo (along with Amy and Leo) finally arrived at the scene. Amy wore a multi-colored headband, a pair of purple hippie glasses, and a necklace with a flower-covered peace sign. She is one of those people who are into Mother Earth and spiritual bonding. But what makes her different from those people is that she doesn't do drugs. Never have! Never will! Like Octoroo, she believes that everyone should get along and be nice to another one. Leo wore a red hat and a red scarf. He has a bit of a short-temper. If anyone dares to mess with him or his sweetheart(Amy), he'll blow out in a fit of rage and try to rip their throats out! But Amy always calms him down with her kisses and hugs. Octoroo, Amy, and Leo are real close friends with Goldie and Fortuna. As close as a happy family to that matter. Amy and Leo are like an overproctective big sister and big brother. And of course, Octoroo is like the carefree, funny grandpa.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Octoroo said as he warned the Magnavores. "Vexor will be mighty angry if something awful might have happen to either Goldie or Fortuna."
"Octoroo!" Goldie and Fortuna shouted in unison, both happy and relieved to see their closest friends. "Amy! Leo! Boy, are we glad to see you guys!"
"Oh, great!" Noxic said as he, Typhus, and Jara start to complain. "It's Noodle-Face and those two jackasses, Monkey-Breath and Lion-Tempered. Why don't you and your half-wits get lost, Noodle-Face? We have a score to settle with Santa's elves, and we don't need the likes of you to interfer."
"Don't you dare talk to him like that!" Amy exclaimed. "You and your friends got some nerve to pick on an old person, Noxic. Don't your parents ever taught you how to treat your elders?"
I'm not that old. Octoroo thought. I'm only three-hundred-million years old.
"And how could you bullied poor, nice Pokemon like Goldie and Fortuna?" Amy asked. "It's not right! Not right at all! You guys are such jerks."
"Nobody asked you, Monkey-Breath." Typhus said. "No one wants to hear from a fucking, nature-loving hippie."
"Yeah!" Jara and Noxic said in unison as they agreed with their fellow Magnavore. "So piss off!"
Amy couldn't help but feel insulted. Those Magnavores can sure harsh out her mellow.
No one talks to my girl like that. Leo thought as his anger slowly grew, growling at the Magnavores. How dare they treat my beautiful Amy like crap! Oh, wait til I get my claws on those assholes.
"Hold on there, everyone." Octoroo said as he tried to keep this arguement from getting out of hand. "Let's not get mad at each other over some foul langauge. I'm sure we can all work this out. Jara, how about you and your friends untie Goldie and Fortuna, and give them back their stuff? It's not too late to do the right thing. Besides, it wouldn't hurt you three to be nice to them once in a while. If you do this, I'll promise not to inform Vexor about what you did to Goldie. We can settle this without a fight. Please reconsider the consequences of your actions. Let's not fight each other during this time of year. After all, it is Christmas."
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Leo said as he break out his claws. "Your choice."
"Yeah, what my cuddle-wuddle said." Amy said as she hugged her boyfriend, making the lion blushed with embarrasment. "It's really up to you three to make the right choice."
"Oh yeah, and who's going to make us?" Jara asked.
"Who do you think?" Leo asked.
"Not you." Noxic said. "That's for sure."
Jara fired pink energy from her hands at Octoroo, Amy, and Leo. It caused bursts of spark to explode against their bodies as they fell on the ground in pain.
"No!" Goldie shouted in fear, worry, and anger. "Octoroo! Amy! Leo! This can't be happening! No! That's it! That was the last straw! You and those two creeps of yours have gone too far this time, Jara! Messing with me is one thing. But when you mess with my friends, it's now personal!"
"Amy", Fortuna said, "Are you guys OK?"
"Yeah, Fortuna, we're OK." Amy said as she and Leo rose on their feet while helping Octoroo up on his feet. "Nothing too serious. Luckily, neither of us have any injures."
"To think that a man my age can handle so much stress and aggravation." Octoroo said as he straighten his back. "Those three are lucky that I didn't get a heart-attack!"
"It's the gift that keeps on giving." Jara said as she and the two other Magnavores started laughing.
This caused Leo's anger to go up at a dangerous level.
"Alright, no more Mr. Nice Luxray!" He said as he pounced towards the Magnavores with a furious roar, now filled up with an uncontrolable rage.
The Magnavores got spooked and started running for their lives. Leo begin chasing the Magnavores while Octoroo tried to catch up with him. Meanwhile, Amy quickly untied Goldie and Fortuna as she freed them from their wrapping paper imprisonment.
"You guys alright?" Amy asked with concern. "Those three better not harm you guys in any way, shape, or form. Because if they did, I'll-"
"Don't worry, Amy, Fortuna and I are fine." Goldie said as he reassured the monkey. "Those bastards are getting away! We can't just sit here. We have to help Leo and Octoroo."
"Let's get those damned, Christmas-hating scrooges!" Fortuna exclaimed.
The four Pokemon ran behind the lion and the Nighlock as they all chased after the Magnavores throughout the forest.
