Zed Pov:

"It was Christmas, all across Seabrook everyone was enjoying the holiday. Especially with how my dad was finally able to make enough to host his very own Christmas party, in which he'd invite everyone. Especially Addison's parents since they don't visit here that often, which felt like a special moment. So far with everything being incredible, as well hearing from Rev that even the creatures at the Big House was behaving. I don't think anything could ruin today, besides. Who would? Christmas is a time to spend quality time together. And that's exactly what I'm going do, I just got to get the party ready before anyone comes."


Zombie Town-Zed's Home

It was morning on Christmas day, the whole street were having zombies and even humans visiting house to house giving seasons greetings. As well spending quality time with each other. Across the block was Zed's house which had it's own unique approach of having decorations across the roof and garden. Right now however Zevon needed his kids help with getting the food and everything ready for the party.

"Hey Zed? Are Addison's parents alright with having some brain canned food? It's not actual brains but stuff that tastes the same."

The zombie father asking his son on how the humans would enjoy the food they had in their home, Zed was making sure there were enough chairs for everyone. Since it was going be held here as well outside in the backyard since it was large enough for the people that would come here.

"They can handle it, but they might bring in their own food from their homes."

Zed telling his dad about that while it seemed Zevon would be worried about how much food that would be shared with when the guests would come. As it seemed they got enough chairs, he also decided to put something special across the doorway. Which was that of a mistletoe that would be held up for a special moment.

"This is going make some people laugh."

Looking at how he could get a special kiss from Addison, as well his friends from their couples they could share a special moment. Hearing some commotion in the back, it was Zoey and Pup who had the snow shoved to the other side as well made sure the tables were placed out for everyone to sit down.

"How does it look Zed? It should be enough for everyone to have a good time."

His little sister acting excited of how they were going to have a Christmas party, unlike last year which was just them. It was now going to be full of friends as well other people that be visiting their house. Zed, looking at the background seeing it ready to be full of people nodded to his sister at the job well done.

"Looks perfect Zoey."

Agreeing with her of how it looked perfect, soon enough they heard the door knocking in which it had to be some help. Heading over to the door, he opened it up seeing that of Revenant. In which he had some presents for the Necropolis family.

"Just wanted to drop these off, visiting everyone to make sure things are alright."

Explaining to them as the three boxes were for Zed and the others, accepting the gifts, he leads Rev into his home where he had him place them underneath the tree they had in the living room. While everything seemed alright, Zed noticed a look on his friend's face on how he apparently was checking up on the others.

"Is there something wrong Rev?"

Zed asking him about if there was a problem happening, in which there were signs. The look on Revenant's face of how uncertain he looked, breathing steadily like if he was in a fist fight. As well looking tired from the eyes which he was blinking repeatedly.

"Just getting some of the gifts is really hard, I know what you all like but the stores were intense. I saw several housewives fighting over several plates."

Responding to Zed of how he had trouble getting the gifts, in which was true how most the women on the other side of Seabrook were pretty attentive of new items. But also that he could see threw Rev's words, seeing how Rev could tell whenever Zed was thinking about something. The glasses wearing zombie sighs as he had to tell him. Taking him upstairs, where no one would listen to them. Rev decided to tell Zed about what was going on.

"Ok, remember after the Prawn prom or whatever. After the rock god fight and us heading to the diner?"

Bringing up a memory from last year where while he and Addison helped the wolf pack get their moonstone away. They had a huge afterparty, along that after things settled. He wanted to see where Rev was at, in which was at a diner where he was with Brit and Willa discussing the business of the werewolves living in Seabrook as he nods to Rev.

"And remember when the lights flickered?"

Adding another detail in the memory of how while things seemed to be alright, he saw a shooting star passing over Seabrook. In which made the lights flickered on and off, which he nodded as well feeling uncertain of where this was leading to.

"Rev. Please tell me that this doesn't revolve something bad."

Zed asking in a nervous as it seemed that whatever happened last year, was coming up now. Out of all the times on Christmas, as well seemed to ruin the moment. Revenant, shook his head as he didn't know what it could mean. Along how he was able to figure it out when he went to the forest.

"I, I don't know. Brittney had some people try to find the spot where I got the tree. As well that possibly, the so called 'star'. Might be involved, since he landed near the tree."

Informing him how that the peaceful looking star that he saw might be involved in this. In which he didn't know how to respond at this, however suddenly they heard the door banging in a frighten like moment. The two boys heard it and rushed right down seeing Zevon answered it, opening the door he saw Bucky looking terrified as well of shaking.

"Hey your that cheerleader guy right? Butch?"

Trying to figure out his name, as well not remembering Bucky's name. To which both Zed and Revenant looked confused on what could startled Bucky, which could be anything. Fashion styles of zombie town, possibly getting jump scared over the tiniest of things. As well someone not knowing, Bucky pointed at Rev possibly putting the blame on him.

"You, and that dang tree! It ate my snowman and possibly is ruining the festival."

Bucky stating the accusation as well how that the tree may not be a real tree, in which Revenant rolled his eyes at the comment. Along walked down the stairs looking at him, in which Bucky stumbled a bit of how he was still a bit frighten of Revenant.

"Look. Right now, we're in someone's home. I can take being blamed wherever it is at, but here? That's drawing the line here."

He stated to the cheer captain about how he wasn't going get accused of something that might be his fault, in the home of a friend as well with his family. In which his eyes got a bit green seeing that Bucky was stepping to close.

"Let's relax a bit. Now what tree are you talking about?"

Zevon stepping in seeing that while he's heard about him causing a bit of trouble for Zed and his relationship with Addison. He wasn't going have it here in his own home, and was confused about what tree he was bringing up. As soon as Zevon asked Bucky, they heard Revenant's phone going off. In which he answered it seeing how it was coming from Brittney.

"Rev? Not wanting to be a Scrooge. But the tree we thought was bad, well it's bad. And it's having a fit!"

Shouting on the phone in which everyone was able to hear it. Hanging it up, Rev decided to check up on it while Zed stayed here. As well Zevon brought Bucky in to see if he was hungry, more or less get a explanation about what happened.


Later at the Festival

Getting his battle ready clothing as well his gear, Revenant rushed over to what Brittney was talking about. Arriving at the scene, the zombie boy saw half of people keeping away from the area. Along of that the large tree was acting up, more or less that it was acting like a crazed animal. At the sight was Brittney, as well Nightwing who were looking at the tree.

"So everyone is away from the festival. No one else is there, but apparently that thing's been getting big. Seriously big, since it has been eating the snow. It started off with the snowmen."

She explained the situation as well of how near the Snowman stand, that all the snowmen that were made had been destroyed as well eaten. Looking at the tree, it was laughing as well somehow made a face as well became that of a horrifying Christmas monster.

"We need to find a way to stop it. Along stop it from growing."

Nightwing explaining of how if it continued to absorb the snow, it would grow and expand across the town. Revenant, checking out his 'Z' gun as he had some explosive rounds within it.

"I'm going do the same thing, cut it down from the stem. Just keep everyone out, and if I call for help. Don't come."

The zombie telling them of how he would handling this, in which he walked forward into the festival seeing how the tree had stretched it's branches across the booths making it's territory. Making his way towards the tree, the colossal flora stopped seeing the zombie.

"Well, well. If it ain't the zombie lumberjack that cut me down. Guess I should thank you for this, never felt so alive in my life."

The tree talking to him, as well of how after settling here. It had become sentient, more or less that it was acting like a smooth talker. Keeping a calm look on his face, he saw how the only thing he could move was his branches.

"Now look, whatever tree like creature you are. I'm sorry, and I can have you escorted out of here."

Expressing to the tree of how it had to be from the studies that Nightwing had told him about, though as the tree heard Revenant's kind words. He merely laughed in a mocking like manner which annoyed the zombie.

"Oh please! Like I'd leave this place. I can feel myself getting stronger, as well I'm more than those creatures you claim to know about."

Informing Revenant that he planned on staying here, more or less continue to grow until he covered the entire town. Revenant, gripped his fist seeing how the peaceful talk had now been settled. Which meant that it was time for violence, as it was the last thing he wanted in the season of peace.

"Alright. Suit yourself, but don't say I didn't warn you.."

Responding back as he was going open fire on the tree, however. One of the roots by the tree's side was brought up and flicked Revenant across the side. In which felt like a punch, so far he didn't expect a tree to hit that hard.

"Better wait a minute."

The sentient tree starting to sing as well surprising the zombie, as well Brit and Nightwing who were watching from the sidelines as well keeping people away. Could hear how out of a sudden, it had a singing low bass voice.

"Ya better hold the phone. Better mind your manners! Better change your tone."

Telling Rev as the tree flicked him to the snow, lowering downwards towards the zombie. It seemed to have much more control of it's body, as well towering over him.

"Don't you threaten me, son. Ya gotta lot of gall. We gonna do things my way, or we won't do things at all!"

Rising back up, as well feeling the ground shaking. Revenant didn't know what was happening, more or less how it was able to do this. Soon enough, it was able to burst from the stand it was placed on. As well acting like a large plant, Revenant saw how it moved around laughing in a sinister manner as well moving it's branches.

"Ya don't know what you're messing with. You got no idea. You don't know what you're lookin' at, when you're lookin' here!"

Praising itself as well admiring the new look the tree had, Revenant. Avoiding the large branches as it was slamming against the ground, pulled out his 'Z' gun as well tried to get ready for a shot.

"Ya don't know what you're up against, No, no way, no how! You don't know what you're messing with, But I'm gonna tell you now!"

Announcing to Revenant as the zombie boy had his gun ready to fire, however before he could. He begun to hear something, more voices. Looking at the ornaments attached to the branches, they sprouted that of a razor sharp mouth. Looking at Revenant, the zombie boy seriously didn't know what type of monster he was looking at. More or less what type that could do this, since Nightwing didn't cover this with him.

"Get this straight! I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad!"

Stating to Revenant it wasn't from Earth, in which made the zombie confused about how the tree he picked. Wasn't from the forbidden forest, the others on the side couldn't believe it themselves as they continued to listen to it's song.

"I'm just a mean green mother from outer space And it looks like you been had I'm just a mean green mother from outer space, So get off my back 'n get out my face!"

Moving right at Revenant making the zombie boy stumble, as well aiming his gun at the tree now confident about taking this tree down.

"Cause I'm mean and green and I am bad!"

Stating itself it was a bad seed, snatching his gun right out of his hand. Rev looked seeing how he spun his weapon like if he was a gunslinger. Firing off a round at Rev, he was sent flying into a booth. Crashing into it, he saw how the tree begun firing off rounds at him.

"Wanna save your skin, boy? You wanna save your hide? You wanna see tomorrow? You better step aside!"

Explaining he would spare the zombie if only he stepped away, Rev getting up. Avoided the shots as well moved from booth to booth continuing to let the tree waste ammo.

"Better take a tip, boy Want some good advice? You better take it easy, cause you're walking on thin ice!"

As the tree had finished using the gun, in which it threw the weapon at Revenant. Which sent him flying into a booth full of stuffed Santa dolls. Shaking off from the thrown object, he placed his weapon back into his coat. Getting up, he looked at the tree as it continued it's twisted singing.

"Ya don't know what you're dealing with! No, you never did. Ya don't know what you're lookin' at, but that's tough titty, kid!"

Hearing him sing more and more got him upset, in which he noticed that of a candy cane staff. Grabbing it as well rushing towards the branches, he was able to break most of them as they fell onto the ground.

"The lion don't sleep tonight, And if you pull his tail, he roars Ya say, "That ain't fair?" Ya say, "That ain't nice?" Ya know what I say? "Up yours!"

Telling the boy as he saw the ornaments coming at them, as well blinding Rev with their lights. In which made him cover his eyes he couldn't see anything, which gave the tree the right moment to pull down his pants showing his boxers. Across the side was Brittney, who blushed at the sight along Nightwing who felt sorry for his student.

"Watch me now! I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad."

Continuing to sing as Revenant had trouble getting his pants on, in which he had to hid behind a booth to think of a new plan. As ignore the fact he just got pants by a Christmas tree.

"I'm just a mean green mother, a real disgrace, And you've got me fighting mad!"

Announcing of how Revenant had gotten him mad, as well having his branches surround the booth. Revenant, getting his pants back on as he saw the ornaments singing at them as he saw how close they were towards him.

"I'm just a mean green mother from outer space! Gonna trash you now, gonna rock this place! 'Cause I'm mean and green and I am bad!"

Shouting as the ripped apart the booth into two pieces and hurling them away from Revenant. Still in the snow, he looked up at the tree as it's eyes looked directly at the zombie as it had Revenant cornered.

"You know I don't come from no black lagoon, I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon! You can keep the Thing, keep the It. Keep the Creature, they don't mean.."

Before finishing, Rev grabbed one of the broken branches and hurled it into it's mouth. Trying to figure out a idea, he rushed towards one of the power lines that connected the tree with it's lights. However the tree launched it's tree pinning his arms and legs, the others saw this and wanted to step in. Though they waited for Revenant to call for them.

"I got killer thorns, power stem. Nasty buds and I'm using them. You better move it out Nature calls You got the point? I'm gonna deck your halls!"

As he lashed his final branch at Rev, however. As it came towards him, a fast figure rushed at the branch. Which was Nightwing as he was able to cut it in half, removing the branches was Brit as she was able to get him out of there. The tree laughed at the 'assistance' Revenant was getting. To which, it continued to the fight.

"I'm mean and green!"

Announcing to them as Revenant made a quick run to the power lines, while Night wing and Brit handled the large tree. So far the more it was eating from the snow, it was able to regrow his broken branches. Which made it impossible to beat.

"I'm mean and green!"

Continuing it's song as well coming in close to the two, going back to back. The two didn't noticed the tree's branching tying up their feet, as well lifting up them up into the air. Unable to break free, they saw the mad tree's face as it's mouth was beginning to open widen.

"And I. Am. Bad!"

Telling them as he apparently was about to eat them, though as it seemed hopeless. Rev whistled out loud to the tree, in which it noticed one of it's Christmas lights line dangling off it's body. As well a cut powerline, to which Revenant was going do something drastic.

"Don't you know it's a silent night?!"

He asked the tree in which he pulled the tree's line as well the electrical cord together. As the two combine together, it sent a electrical surge as the electricity went to the tree. Making the living tree move around, as well dropping Brit and Nightwing to the ground. They saw how Rev held the two lines together making sure the tree was getting shocked. As it's lights were being blown out left to right, as well it's ornaments exploding in a flashy manner.

"Bah humbug!"

The tree stated until it suddenly exploded in a green light, Nightwing covered Brit from the explosion. However instead of several thousand splinters descending, it was small pieces of pine and decorations. Like if it was snow, as the two stood up. They looked at Revenant, who looked completely fried as well upset at what he had to do. They rushed over to see if he was alright.

"Next year, we're getting plastic."

Revenant said in a tired tone, along of how while it seemed cheesy. A fake tree would be much preferable then one that would come to laugh, that earned Brit and Nightwing a laugh of how this was going to be difficult to explain to Mallory of how the town's tree became alive as well tried to destroy the town.

Back at Zed's home

Having dealt with the killer Christmas tree, the party at Zed's house was able to happen. More or less that everyone was still bothered that the three that was suppose to represent Seabrook as a whole. Went bad as well tried to destroy everything. At the house, Zed was checking up at how everyone was settling it. In which Addison was curious of how he had something to say, which she gestured everyone to have his attention.

"I want to say that, while it wasn't on purpose that Rev had to destroy the tree. He had to, and that. In a strange way sends a message to us."

Zed making a speech to them, as well how everyone paid attention to him. Of how, one of the town's best looking tree Seabrook has every seen. Got blown up, cause it went rogue. As well it had a message for them, Zed saw the confusion in them meaning he had to explain it better.

"That Christmas isn't about fancy lights, gifts or even incredible events. It's about people, like in this moment. Being together without thinking about each others difference."

Telling them that the meaning of the holiday was to come together, as well enjoying quality time without needing materials to make them happy. The group, while still a bit weirded that how he was the one to say it. It made sense, to which they rose their plastic cups for him and drank to the meaning of Christmas. While that was going on, in front of the house was Revenant, who was looking at the dark blue sky as well the stars.

"And what's the protector doing out here alone?"

Asked from behind which was Wynter, who had some Christmas clothing on as well appearing like a reindeer. Rev, smiled to her as well let her stand by him. Enjoying the peace of the night.

"It wasn't from here, the tree I mean. It didn't come from the books Night's given me, or even out of the country. It came from up there, space."

Revenant explaining to her how it stated to him and the others, that it originated from the stars. Meaning it was extraterrestrial. While Wynter wasn't exactly understanding space or astrology, she could tell how he was captivated by the idea.

"I don't know. To think I saw it all."

Expressing that from coming to Seabrook, learning about his true history. Fighting strange creature, getting a werewolf girlfriend and battling a god. He now learns that there things that apparently are from space. Wynter, seeing him still shocked about it. Rubbed her shoulder, Revenant looked to hear seeing on top of her fake antlers was the mistletoe that was from Zed's doorway.

"Isn't that?"

About to ask her, Wynter gave him a kiss on the lips. In which made Rev's eyes widen, more or less feel the warmth from her lips. Seeing how the stress, as well what he's dealt with a few hours ago was slipping away. Moving away, Wynter smiled seeing how she was able to calm his thoughts.

"Yeah, consider that my present for you. Seeing you had to clean up the mess you, or possibly we made since I help get the tree."

Teasing him a bit in which the zombie boy laughed a bit, as well decided to follow her back into the house so they could participate in the party. Along the fact that while Wynter's comfort helped him out a lot, Rev couldn't think how the tree came alive. More or less how it claimed it was from Outer Space, he had to figure out how this was possible. As well investigate the sighting much more to see if anything else might be alive in the forest.
