Twas the Night before X-mas...

Goron and stood at the entrance to the corrupted cave. He shuddered. Normally this place gave him the creeps, but today was just awful. He had to question his own dignity here, for he had clothed himself in a Santa suit. Complete with red pants, a red shirt, some padding for a "jolly" look, a fluffy white beard, and of course, the stupid hat, which as of this moment, had began to itch.

The next thing one might notice that was odd about this situation, was Goron surrounded by orphans. They were all fairly dirty, wearing traditional battered clothes, and possessing hungry expressions on their faces.

"Ho, ho, ho Evil Council! I wish thee a merry Chirstmas! Might you come out so we can share good tidings and the like? Or better yet, I'll come in and join you! For I come bearing gifts!

These here children need your support and well wishes. Perhaps you may scour some kindness in your hearts for these most needy of all beings?" Goron continued as he proceeded into the cave.

Panther lept out from behind a random corner, wearing a white shirt, red paint (or so we think) splattered jeans, and massive headphones connected to... well, nothing. Just there for looks. She brandished a large pike with feathers on the side, and cackled madly.

"NEVER! Orphans die now!" She proceeded to jab the children with her weapon, grinning evilly. "Shoo, you little vermin! Don't make me get Kiri and her dragonling out here, they'll devour you alive!"

Kiba chuckled quietly to himself as he clutched the steering wheel of the M18 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle, AKA Puma. He was utterly thankful he'd been issued one of the GUardian's vehicles- most people wouldn't be too foind of letting a small pokemon at the wheel of a specialized vehicle. He managed to reach the peda;s by strapping stilts to his bottom paws. "Alright," He called to the gunman, "We're in. Keep a sharp eye out for Cornelius, okay?"

((Any Guardian member want to be the other person with Kiba? Just jump in, I'm not very picky. ^^ ))

"BLARG! The smell of orphans make me sick!" Yelled the enraged rabicat with
her sword held high. Leporidae looked as if she was tearing her fur out a while ago. She joined her ex-sensi in destroying the orphans one by one, aiming at chopping their little heads in half with her sabre. "Go away, I don't want the likes of you around here! I was just about to do my daily evil plotting."

Meanwhile, Feline stood on top of a seemingly large puma, with his paws on the big guns. He called down to the driver, looking below. "Aye! Will do." He looked around searchingly. Would be a shame if Cornelius found his way into the stir of orphans . . . uh oh.

"Have you some kind of living room, that we might come in a carol with you?" Goron said with an uncaring grin. Not waiting for a response he said: "A lounge? That will do nicely! If you'll all follow me please."

Goron herded the orphans past the Cave's welcome desk and into the lounge. He conjured a sack, seemingly from nowhere, and proceeded into the lounge behind them.

"If you all would like to be coming with me, we shall join in the Holiday Merriment! Perhaps you have some figgy pudding? I've read about that in our song lyrics," Goron babbled, completely oblivious to the fact that he had already overstayed his welcome.

"FIGGYWHATNOW?!" Panther bellowed, casting an evil glare at the invaders. "Alright, you asked for it! One hungry dragon, coming up!" She put her paw to her mouth and whistled at an ear-piercingly high note. "O Supaaaaiiiikuuuuu!"

A four foot male dragon came soaring down from somewhere above. He examined Goron and the rest with his bright emerald eyes; letting a puff of copper smoke escape his nostrils. ~Kuuu! Oprhans! Mother out- say something about Deer. Snack time now, Panther-sama?~ He spoke in his childish gibberish, grinning at the others with a hungry grin.

"Yes, yes, help yourself, Supaiku. As long as they don't start singing, they're all yours."

****

Kiba cursed silently to himself- Corneilius was wandering towards the area where the Head Honcho and the EC members where at!

"Psst! Cornie!"

No reply.

"PSSSSSSSSSSSSST! CORNIE!" He said in a half-yell, half-whisper.

"Eh?"

"How would you like to get out of here?"

"Sorry, I don't swing that way."

"That's not what I meant!" Kiba fumed- leave it to the EC to make a scapegoat so braindead. "I mean to escape you getting killed every day! To escape the torture! The Guardians can get you to your long lost brother!"

"You mean... Kris Kringle?"

"Who else?!"

"There was my Aunt Bertha, but she has a mustache and-"

"Just get in the damn car!"

Gabriel had been sneaking around behind all the comotion as Goron Nervously snook further intothe EC causing a distraction. Saw panther trying to get Cornie into his car to get away with him but Cornie was being stupid so he ran across and shoved him into the vehicle and then dived in after him.

"Right, were taking you to see Kris Kringle - no quibbles"

Gabriel just crys on the inside about how hard its going to be to keep this Cornie alive...

"Drive guys gogogo, Goron... Good luck "

Aara yawned and stretched. She was watching the wall slime grow in the lounge, when suddenly Goron came in dressed as Santa. She narrowed her eyes at him, suspicious. "What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, surveying what he was wearing. A twitch of a smile appeared on her face before she burst out laughing at his ridiculous appearance. "Wha-Hahahaha! What the hahah! What the hell are you supposed to be! Hahahaha!" Remembering ho it was, she stopped laughing and narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing here Goron? Or will I have to try stick a knife into you?" Aara said it more confidently then she felt. In fact, she was bluff inf her ass off! She couldn't take him if she wanted to, but... no one quite knew that yet, no one had seen her fight... yet.

Kaedra was flying above the car. He hadn't been at the cave earlier due to someone else being there... He looked ahead for anything that could cause Cornie to die, but saw nothing. His white hair blew into his face and he pushed it out of his blue eyes. 'I wish I could have seen her...' He thought, upset. 'But if I had then...' He knew if he went near his mother Raven would try kill him, and by doing so have to hurt his mother and force her way out. He couldn't do that to her. So, he was lookout. He spotted a crack in the ground and called down to Kiba. "Kiba! There's a crack in the ground about 100 meters away! Careful with Cornie!" He yelled, trying to hide his lack of confidence.

Fade stood with her arms crossed, in the 'lounge'. She'd been meditating in here, now it had been interrupted by orphans and someone in a Santa suit.

She raised a blue eyebrow at 'Santa' and all the children.

"Must there be annoyances everywhere I go? These kids would better serve the purpose of food for Kiri's child, they are not useful for anything"

She said, totally emotionlessly as her cold eyes regarded the unruly mob.

Syllak flew high above the M-18, the golden fire-lizard named Sallah perched on her shoulder. Her bright red eyes made sure she could see they had this 'Cornelius' before she began to pull ahead.

Meanwhile about halfway between the Corrupted Cave and the place the Guardians were head, a short girl stood and waited. Her silver-tinted, brown hair moved in the wind, and her keen eyes kept a watch out.

You shouldn't let Talas size or appearance fool you however, this girl was a werewolf.

Sekhmet prowled around the cave entrance, her dappled fur blending with the scorched grass and barren earth. She was sulking.
Genetic enhancements, years of training for enemy base infiltration, but noooo, I'm the frigging BACKUP. They choose instead a badger who can't even reach the pedals!

Still, it could be worse. She smirked at the memory of Goron having pillows stuffed down the seat of his pants for that extra-humorous look. At least her physical appearance excluded her from that job.

She continued to prowl, keeping watch for anyone following the Puma.

Alakin flew over to the Puma,
"Have they got Cornelius?" he asked Kiba, landing next the vehicule.
_________

Syui skulked around the cave, looking for the exit. He arrived at the entrance to the lounge and saw Goron, he chuckled silently before leaving again. He soon found the cave entrance and was about to exit when he fell nose to nose with Sekhmet
"Ack! Oh...it's just you Sekhmet. Have they found that Cornie guy yet?"

*Seph randomly falls out of the sky and lands feet first near Goro- I mean... Santa... He had been hunting for Roc's, but none had shown up..*

Hey Santa!

*Seph flicks his hand, his fingernails grow to dagger-like proportion, he flicks the tip of his middle finger and grins as blood drips from it.*

Care to meet Santa Claws here?

"Ok little ones, let the EC hear how hard you've worked," Goron said the orphans. The children pulled small pamphlets out and began signing "We Wish you a Merry Chirstmas"... badly. The pitches were all off and it was evident that these Orphans had had little practice.

"Panther, Aara, Fade, Sephroth! Season greetings to you all! You've all been relatively good this year, for EC members, so I got you some gifts!" Goron said with a gigantically moronic smile. He reached into his sack and pulled out a toy plane, which he handed to panther, a doll, which was given to Aara, a puppy, which Fade received, and to Seph, a yo-yo.

"Won't you all join me and the children in our song? Quickly, fetch the other EC members! I'm certain they would not want to miss this!

A pair of blazing red bloodshot eyes snapped open thanks to the racket being caused by the Guardians. A horrific shrieking began to echo throughout the cave, effectively drowning out the singing of the tone-deaf orphans as Little Sister voiced her dissatisfaction at being woken whilst she was getting the very little sleep that she actually needed.

HollowEyes too had been woken by the racket, and though Little Sister's shrieks were something that he'd gotten used to a long time ago, the terrible singing from the orphans was a bit much. Yawning as he wandered down one of the many corridors of the Corrupted Cave, he decided to take matters into his own hands so that he too could get a bit of well-earned sleep.

Moments after Little Sister's shrieking stopped (in other words, shortly after HollowEyes managed to calm her down Razz

), a grunt's voice came through over the Cave's PA system. "By special request, we're bringing you a live broadcast straight from the Torture Chambers. 24 hours of continuous screams, enjoy." The static of the speakers was soon replaced by the screams of whoever happened to be unfortunate enough to be in the EC Torture Chamber at the moment.

Satisfied that the orphans would most likely be scared senseless by the screams, or at least not able to get any louder than them, HollowEyes stumbled back into his room and fell back to sleep. Little Sister had moved herself to a deeper section of the Cave, having been promised that if somebody woke her up again she could do as she pleased with them.

Panther glared at the obnoxiously colored yo-yo, before tossing it over her shoulder. She flattened her ears against the children's horrible singing- an obvious sign of aggression. "Stop. That. NOW!" She snarled, swishing her tail angrily. "I despise carols. And plus, there are several members that are asleep right now that hate being woken up. So STOP IT!" She patted Supaiku on the back, who had his claws clasped over his ears in the futile effort the keep singing out.

"I'll get 'em for you, kid." She swiped both arms in the air, turning them into twin blades. She jabbed Goron in the stomach angrily. "I'm feeling unusually nice today, so this is your last chance. Get out before I gut ye like a damn rabbit!" She spat the last sentence out with an audible hiss afterwards.

"Oh you kids and your toys. The spirit of Christmas is alive and well within you! Perhaps some more caroling will lighten this mood," Goron said as he strode across the room back to the Orphans. Just as he Orphans began singing "Silent Night," the screams came on over the loudspeakers.

"Oh most wonderful! Somebody wishes to join us in singing, but is too shy to join in person. There is nothing to fear here! We bring only tidings of good will!"
