Right as Pinkie had left Yusaku was now in the presence of the final ghost of Christmas who gave a really really sinister vibe as Yusaku then said thing to work up the courage to speak the person under the creature
"T-tell me do I stand in the presence of the Ghost of...Christmas Yet to Come?"
The person was quiet until he said breaking his silence "Yes I'm Mephiles! Mephiles the dark your Ghost of Christmas Future!"
Yusaku then said to the sinister half of the eternal sun god known as Solaris
"I fear you more than any other spectator I have ever met. But I do know your job is to help me. So, I'm ready and willing to follow and learn from you, with a thankful heart."
Meanwhile, the narrators watched on from the abandoned church's doors. Soon enough, they were getting scared by this. One look at Mephiles spelt all sorts of danger for them!
"T-This is too scary, I don't think I wanna see anymore." shivered Ruby in fear at the sight of Mephiles face to face.
"Me too!" agreed Luigi instantly. "Me three!" Yuya said in a panic
"But what about the story?" asked Sonic as RGGAM then said
"Sorry dude, I don't wanna see what this spirit has in store for Yusaku!''gulped RGGAM. Although he was brave, there were some places even the narrator wouldn't go! He turned to the "audience".
"I really hate to say it, folks. But you're on your own in this scene. We will see you at the finale!"
But right before he could close the door a hand instantly began dragging them out of their hiding spot
"Oh, no you don't! You guys need to stay here if I'm going to continue this adventure! After all you're the narrators so you better be narrating!" Yusaku demanded.
"FOR REAL?!" Yuya exclaimed in pure horror that they were really doing this as Yusaku firmly nodded to them as the narrator team just took one big gulp in complete fear before nodding in agreement
Sonic held Ruby tight like a big brother would do for a young sister while Luigi held onto his hat shaking like a leaf
"Let's be on our way!" Mephiles said to them as he snapped his fingers as they were now in the future
Riley took a deep breath and narrated, "And low and behold Yusaku was now in the future as he braced for what would happen if he did not change his ways!"
Yusaku then sees Waluigi, Pigma, Ghirahim and Wario chatting about something
"I don't know much about it either way." remarked Ghirahim. "I only know that he's dead!"
"Yeah we heard the news bucko!" Agreed Wario "When did he decide to die?" asked Waluigi to the demon blade "Last night, I believe."
Said Ghirahim to Waluigi answering his question
"Wonder what he died of?" asked Wario until he said. "I thought he'd never go."
This caused the four men to laugh cruelly. "Well I don't know or care why he's gone." Pigma remarked. "I just like to know what he did with his money."
"He didn't give it to me and you guys know how much I love the money," said Wario. The others said 'no' in some sort of agreement.
"Well it's likely to be a cheap funeral," said Pigma with a smirk. "I don't know a single soul would go to it."
"I wouldn't mind going," said Wario. The others looked at him in surprise.
Until he said with a nasty smirk "UNLESS THEY HAVE LUNCH THERE AHAHAH!" Then the other three joined as they then left the site
Yusaku turned to Mephiles "I know some of those gentlemen." He then asks. "But what poor wretch are they speaking of?"
Riley then narrated "Instead of answering Yusaku's question, the sinister being pointed to a door nearby gestured it by as they saw Inside were four people
The three people there had pale skin and wore some ancient clan clothes they were Thales, Myson and Kronya
While one man wearing a business outfit a small goatee he was known as Shido as he said
"Ah good you have returned so what have you brought from the home of misery and sadness for me?"
Kronya chuckled and said " I managed to get his bed sheet and it's still warm!" Yusaku's eyes widened to hear that from that awful woman Myson then said as he gave his thing to Shido "I managed to grab these curtains from his bed!
Shido then said "Very good Myson and what of you Thales?"
Thales then said "The most important thing of all is his duel disk and his entire deck!" As he showed it to Shido who simply chuckled and said
"Oh yes! This will make us very rich if it's his technology, don't you agree?" The four laughed very evil like as Yusaku looked at the evil mind of Solaris
"Okay I get it. The case of this unhappy person might be my own." said a worried Yusaku. "My-my life tends that way now. But come on! Isn't there any tenderness connected with this world? Show me it or that conversion will haunt me forever!"
"Yeah! What he said!" agreed Yuya, Sonic, Luigi and Ruby
As if obeying their order Mephiles snapped his fingers as they had now arrived at Mario's house
Yusaku softly smiled and said "This is Mario's house! Oh yes Spirit, a place of joy and laughter. Oh thank you for bringing me here.." Until he then became a bit worried
"W-why is it suddenly quiet?" Mephiles looks at RGGAM to narrated as he nodded quickly and said "Instead of the joy and cheerfulness he felt when he was with Pinkie Pie all that was left was bleak and sadness!"
Yusaku, Sonic and Luigi take a look inside and see Peach crying as her children come over to her "Mom, are you feeling alright?" Tori said in coneron for her Peach weakly smiled and said trying to fight her own tears
"Y-yeah I'm okay, just got a bit of dirt in my eyes.." Ash then said "Dad will be home!" Carol and Tori nodded
Yusaku gasped knowing what might have happened "No it can't be!" Back inside Mario then entered the room as he was with Annette's best friend Mercedes
"H-hey!" Mario softly said as Tori and Ash go over to hug him while Carol went over to hug Mercedes who had lost her best friend
Peach then said "How was it sweetie?" Mario then said "Lovely! it would've done you good to see how green the place is. I picked a nice spot for Annette!" He said, trying to hold back his own tears, "O-on the hill, so she can always spot ducks on the river!"
Mercedes had a small frown and said "Oh Annette!" As she looked like she was crying
Mephiles then snapped his fingers as the narrators and Yusaku were now at the graveyard showing Annette's grave as Sonic, Ruby, Yuya and Luigi gasped in pure horror while Yusaku said
"OH NO! Spirit, I didn't want this to happen. W-why show me all this if I'm beyond hope?"
Riley then said "However this moment of silence was stopped as they heard voices belonging to none other than the three Kovach brothers Rocky, Jax and N!"
Rocky is a young adult cat with grey fur, blue eyes, and a bushy, tabby tail. His usual attire consists of a blue suit and hat, complemented by an orange tie featuring the initial 'R.' He also wears a white undershirt.
Jax is a rather tall and lean character resembling a light purple rabbit with long ears, yellow eyes, and yellow teeth usually seen in a smile. He wears a pair of dark pink overalls with a large pink pocket and gold buttons, along with a pair of yellow gloves.
And lastly N a robot who sports a dark grey fur collared coat and a black hat, with silver hair parted to the left. His artificial lighting and acidic tail
Rocky laughed and said to his brothers "I know you gotta tell ya boys this funeral was the cheapest one in the century!"
Jax then said as he used a shovel to dig up something while looking bored "You got that right Rocky. No mourners, no friends to bid his sorry butt farewell to his next life."
N then said with a sad look "Makes me feel sorry for what happened to him after all he lost his sister when he was young and then lost the girl of his dreams!"
Jax groaned and said "Always the kind one of the group N!" Rocky then said getting in between
"Now fella's my brothers in arms, let's not argue with one another, allow us to take a small intervention before the show carries on after all he's not going anywhere!"
Rocky laughed when the brothers Yusaku felt a dread in his mind as he looked at the grave
"Is that the grave of the dead person whom no one wants to mention or see?" Mephiles nodded to him Luigi then said completely scared
"I don't like this!" Sonic then said, also feeling the dread "Neither do I!"
Yusaku then said "M-Mephiles? Answer me one more question: are these the shadows of the things that will be or the shadows of things that may be only? Man or woman's actions determine certain ends, if they're pursuant in them, but if their actions changed, the ends changed too, right? Say it is so, with what you've shown me. Spirit, I'm scared to ask you this very question but...Whose lonely grave is this?"
Mephiles hand engulfed in purple flame to show Yusaku's name on the grave as he then said
"Why YOUR'S Yusaku!" He then pushed Yusaku down and shouted "THE RICHEST MORTAL IN THE CEMETERY!"
The narrators gasped "YUSAKU!" They were ready to intervene until Mephiles as if foreseeing their reckless charge snapped his fingers as their own shadows came to life and grabbed and held them down as they had no choice but to watch this horror show
Mephiles then begin to laugh very sinister as Yusaku was struggling to hold onto a tree branch
"Mephiles wait!" Mephiles cackled just then below the coffin started to open as ghostly chains began to rise from it as Yusaku then said
"MEPHILES! hear me; I am not the woman I was! I will not be the man I would have been, if not for you and your fellow spirits! Why show me this if I am past all hope?!"
Mephiles however didn't listen to him and kept cackling as the chains kept getting closer and closer to him
"Take pity on me, Mephiles I beg you, assure me that I may yet change these shadows you have shown me by an alternate life! Mephiles please...Pity me! I WILL CHANGE! I will know Christmas in my heart...And keep it all the year! The spirits of Past, Present and the Future shall thrive in me, I will not shut out the lessons that they teach! OH, LET ME WASH AWAY THE WRITTEN OF THIS STONE! PLEASE!"
Mephiles simply cackled as behind was his other half Iblis roaring as the environment above him began to go up in flames as Yusaku shouted before the tree branch snapped as the chains wrap around his body ready to drag him off to the other side
"I'LL CHANGE! I'LL CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE!"
Yusaku then fell onto his bedroom as the blanket covers saying in a panic
"No! Spirit! Mephiles, let me out! LET ME OUT I SAY!" as he popped out of his covers and looked all over the room "Huh? I don't believe it. I'm back in my own room. I'm home!"
Yusaku cheered in joy as the narrators were onside standing on Yusaku's window
"Surprise fellas!" Riley/RGGAM said while waving Yuya then threw his hands behind his head "Told ya we'd be fine!"
Riley then narrates saying "But the thing that made Yusaku happiest of all was that his life lay before him and it could be changed'."
Yusaku danced around in joy saying "Oh thank you Mimi, bless you! I will live my life in the past, present, and the future. Oh...I don't know what to do first. I'm as light as a feather, as happy as an angel, as giddy as a child off to get its favourite sweets! Ohohohoho, there's so much to do, oh there's so much to do! Hahaha!"
As he was going around the room getting dressed as Ruby then said "Guys is it okay for us to sit here?"
Just then Yusaku swung open the window and knocked the narrator crew off as he looked at Mina and Denki and then said
"Excuse me, do you know what day it is?" Mina & Denki both had surprised looks on their faces as Mina said "Christmas day?"
Yusaku then said "Then I haven't missed it! after all! The spirits did it all in one night! They can do whatever they like, of course they can, of course they can!"
Denki then said "Whatever you say…" Yusaku then cleared his throat with kindness in his heart
"Do you children know the way to the culinary shop down the street?" Mina then said back
"Yeah we always do my friends and I always pass it…" Yusaku then tosses some money to them as they catch it saying "Do you two know the way to the culinary shop down the street?"
Denki nodded saying "Yeah?" Yusaku nodded "If it's no bother I would like you to buy it. If you do, I'll give you $21 free of charge if you get that trucky!"
Denki and Mina gasped as stars were in their eyes "You got yourself a deal!" As they ran off
Riley/RGGAM was removing some snow from his uniform and said "And so, Mort was off like a shot. So ea-" But however was cut off the moment Mina and Denki passed them like lightning as the narrator was left spinning
"Sorry about that!" They both said as Riley gave a weak thumbs up to them
Yusaku smiled as he was fully dressed as he had plans for today "With that turkey I'll even give Mario and his family time off such as holidays! Because I know for sure that turkey will be twice the size then Annette!"
Riley/RGGAM then narrated "Moments passed after he had gotten dressed and Yusaku was wishing everyone a 'Merry Chrtistmas!' To the first person he met in this merry town!"
As if on cue Yusaku was shaking hands with Kitty Katswell and Duddly saying 'Merry Christmas!'
He then passes Marcy Wu & Anne saying 'Merry Christmas!' and then passes RGGAM's crew saying
"Merry Christmas!" Yuya smiled and said kindly "Why thank you!"
Riley/RGGAM than said "Everyone was out and about this fine Christmas morning, and soon Yusaku found himself in the company of two poor collectors Silver and Blaze."
Blaze stood in front of Silver in case he tried to hurt the silver hedgehog as Yusaku then said
"Don't worry, Miss Blaze, I'm not here to hurt you!" Blaze then calms down a bit as Yusaku said "For I'm here to donate money to the less fortunate so here take about $15!"
Silver was astounded to hear that as Yusaku gave them the money as Silver said completely baffled "Wait wha I don't-" Yusaku then said
"Still not enough? Ha! You drive a hard bargain. Well here you both are! $85, and not a penny more or less." Blaze then said completely astounded "Thank you so kindly Yusaku!" Yusaku then said "Think nothing of it my friends! And a Merry Christmas to you both!"
Silver then gives his scarf to Yusaku as a gift of kindness as Yusaku smiled at the silver hedgehog by that moment Denki and Mina returned with the turkey alongside their friends
"Yo Yusaku we got the turkey!" Yusaku smiled "Nice work you lot! You're a credit to the world I say! Now follow me, we're off to see Mario and his family!"
The whole town cheered in joy as they followed Yusaku to Mario's house as he began to sang
With a thankful heart
With an endless joy
With a growing family
Every girl and boy
Will be nephew and niece to me
Excited, the crowd and narrators sang along with him.
All: Nephew and niece to me!
Yusaku: Will bring love, hope and peace to me
All: Love, hope and peace to me
Everyone entered a bakery singing to the people inside as they helped gathered the good eats.
Yusaku: Yes, and every night will end and every day will start
With a grateful prayer and a thankful heart
As everyone left, one employee yelled as he fell down with a ladder. Needless to say, those inside followed everyone outside.
Yusaku : With an open smile and with open doors
I will bid you welcome
What is mine is yours
With a glass raised to toast your health
All: With a glass raised to toast your health
Yusaku: And a promise to share the wealth
All: A promise to share the wealth
They continued throughout the city to Yusaku's workplace as he continued to sing.
Yusaku: I will sail a friendly course
File a friendly chart
On a sea of love and a thankful heart
All: On a sea of love and a thankful heart
Yusaku then gave each toad some coal since they wanted it yesterday as they cheered in joy for their boss as he thrusted his left hand forward the moment he had excited the court house
"Life is like a journey. Who knows when it ends?
Yes, and if you need to know the measure of a man
You simply count his friends"
"Stop and look around you. The glory that you see
Is born again each day. Don't let it slip away
How precious life can be!"
Yuskau then spies Kaze, Zephyr even his niece Sunset, Ai, Takeru Homura ,the Phantom thieves were there such as Ren, Sumire, Ryuji, Morgana, Ann, Yusuke, Futaba, Sumire, Akechi, Makoto, Ashe, Grey, Aile and Ven
"Yusaku?!" Ai said in total shock as Yusaku nodded "Been a while my friends sorry it took a while!"
Sunset then said "Uncle Yusaku?" Yusaku nodded "It really is me Sunset!" He then looked at Kaze "Cousin, I'm looking forward to that wonderful meal of yours!"
Kaze gasped as stars rose from his eyes "You mean to say you're coming to the party!?" Yusaku nodded
Ryuji then said "Someone pinch me and tell me it's not happening!" Akechi then slapped Ryuji as he said "HEY I TOLD YOU TO PINCH ME NOT SLAP ME!"
Akechi shrugs at him with a small smirk on his face having enjoyed slapping Ryuji
Yusaku then said "Besides that I look forward to all the wonderful things you will cook up at the party Kaze!" He even looked at Sunset
"Even my dear niece! Anyway, I love to stay and chat but I got places to go and people to wish a happy christmas!"
Sunset smiled and said to the man "I will Uncle Yusaku, I will! And a very merry Christmas to you!" As Yusaku sang the last lyrics to his song
"With an open heart that is wide awake
I do make this promise: Every breath I take
Will be used now to sing your praise (Used now to sing your praise)
And to beg you to share my days (Beg you to share my days)
With a loving guarantee that even if we part-"
All:
"I will hold you close with a thankful heart!"
Right as the song ended Yusaku told everyone to hide as they did that Yusaku cleared his throat and took a deep breath until he knocked on the door belonging to Mario as the plumber opened
"Y-yes?" Until he noticed Yusaku and said in shock "YUSAKU!?" Yusaku then folded his arms and said "Mister Mario! I was looking all over for you. And it seemed you weren't at work!"
Mario then said "B-but you said I could have this one day off!" Yusaku however entered the room with what looked like a sack of laundry
"Well I have another bundle for you!" he plopped it on the floor in front of his kids, but as she did a teddy bear popped out. He was quick to hide it however "So this is where I find you instead of at work at the counting house as we discussed."
Mario said worried as Peach was ready to grab her umbrella and slam it into Yusaku's face ""But we did discuss it, sir! It's Christmas Day; you gave me and the other workers the day off!"
Yusaku was trying his best to hide his smile and said "ME? Yusaku Fujiki giving people the days off? Hmph, that's hilarious."
Peach growled and said "And I have enough of you! You black hearted piece of-" But Yusaku said with a smile "And so I have little choice but to give you-"
Annette's eyes sparkled as she said "Toys!" Carol then said as they were the real thing "Yeah she's not kidding, take a look and all this!"
Peach was surprised at this Yusaku nodded and said "Not only that but to give you Mario a raise!"
Mario nearly choked on his words "R-raise!?" Yusaku nodded and said "Indeed and giving you proper time off and so the business is now called Yusaku and Mario!" He then offered his hand
"So how about it, partner?" Mario then said shaking his hand "Yes! God bless you sir! Thank you so much!"
Yusaku smiled "Great to hear and there's one more thing I brought over!" He whistled for the others to come in. Soon enough, the Students of Class 1-A came in with the prized turkey, while the rest of the two alongside Riley/RGGAM and his friends came in with many different foods to make a special Christmas dinner.
As Peach and Mario was totally impressed on the kindness and generosity of Yusaku had done for them and their family knowing Yusaku had made a Christmas Miracle
Just then the door knocked as Peach opened it to show Yuma and Mercedes and Yuma said "How's it hanging?"
Tori went over and hugged her boyfriend as Mario said "Ah Yuma and Mercrdes how nice of you to get here!"
Yuma then said "We met someone on the way saying they wanted to visit a mister Yusaku Fujiki.."
Yusaku was surprised and said "M-me?" Just then a familiar had then entered the room. It was a fair-skinned young woman with light brown hair in a bob-cut and yellow eyes. Wearing a light blue dress this was none other than Skye
"Skye?" Skye smiled and said "Hi Yusaku it's been a while hasn't it?"
Yusaku blushed and nodded to her as he wondered how she was able to find her as Skye said
"Well it's the strangest thing, it's as if Christmas spirit guided me to this very spot in town. Almost as if to make amends with an old flame. And it's here you change your ways and go around spreading joy to others, for the good of Christmas."
Soon the townspeople were happy to see this.
Yusaku then said "Listen if it's alright if we start from scratch I acted like a total jerk!" Skye nodded and said
"Of course I always believed in second chances!" As she and Yusaku kissed each other on the lips as the people cheered
As Riley/RGGAM laughed and said narrating one last time "And just like that not only had Yusaku changed his life around he was reunited with his lost love Skye.."
"And Annette?" Luigi asked as Sonic said taking over the narration "Who DIDN'T die became a second father to her and Skye a second mother. Yusaku had became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man as the good old city ever had'."
Everyone finally took their seats as Annette then smiled raising her glass of lemonade
"Merry Christmas Serena, and God bless us." Yusaku nodded and said
"Yes God bless us!"
Joy to the children far and near
What a wond'rous time of year
Isn't it just grand to say
Merry Merry Christmas (Merry Merry Christmas)
Merry Merry Christmas (Merry Merry Christmas)
Oh, what a merry Christmas Day!
As the narrators then waved goodbye
"See you guys next time!" Luigi waved to the group as Sonic then said "May your year be a great one!"
Yuya smiled as Riley/RGGAM said "Be sure to favourite and follow me on fanfic!"
Ruby cheered "Thanks for reading!"
