Well, as soon as I saw Flashman's Christmas Side Story challenge, I
wrote this thing up really quick and decided to send it in while the
challenge and season are still fresh!

This isn't officially anything I'm going to include in the next
chapter, so it's just something I wrote on the spur of the moment.

Before you ask, yes, I'm working on chapter six. It just takes a lot
longer than this... Having to get everything right and stuff...

Here goes...

Un-Spell-Checked...

Non-Plot checked...

It's...

&&&[Begin Christmas Side Story.]

/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\*/*\
[Merry Christmas to All...]

	"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL," The man in a red suit said in
a jolly manner, "NOW YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!"

	It was the night Santa went crazy... The night Saint Nick
went insane. It seems he realized he was getting a 'raw deal'
and, well, something finally must've snapped in his brain...

---

	Ah Christmas, the time for giving, sharing, and spending
huge quantities of money buying all those beloved gifts.

	Atomic Starlight Knight was BORED.

	Not a single thing people needed blown to pieces. All the
bad guys had taken the holiday off, and he was just ITCHING to
destroy something.

	That was when he heard the musical call of Jolly Old Saint
Nick, "-NOW YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!"

	A.S.K. smiled. Perhaps today wouldn't be a total loss after
all. He beamed over to his home base in Jupiter and readied his
latest 'mech. The "Hulking-Machine-What-Blows-Stuff-Up!!!

***

	"Queen Beryl," Nephrite said, "I have a definite plan to
gather energy for the Negafor-"

	"Shut up, Neflyte! I don't get vacation this often! Let me
enjoy it!!" Queen Beryl snapped, annoyed. Nephrite sighed.

	"Very well, Queen Beryl." Nephrite said then whispered,
"Now I can go give this gift to Molly!" Nephrite disappeared.

	Zoicite appeared with an annoying laugh, "Ha ha ha haa.
Kunzite? Where are you, Kunzite?" Zoicite vanished, leaving
a wreath of flower petals.

	"Yeah, Merry Christmas..." Beryl muttered grudgingly.

***

	"Yay! Christmas!" Serena said joyfully, not being able to
sleep, waiting to open her presents. [This is an NA continuity,
and therefore, they celebrate christmas like that.]

	"Serena, did you hear what just happened?!" Luna asked,
concerned.

	"What?" Serena asked.

	"I'm afraid that there will not be much of a Christmas
with what just happened to Santa Claus and such." Luna replied.

	"What?" Serena asked, shocked.

	Luna told her.

	"NOOOOO!" Serena said.

	"I'm afraid so..." Luna said, attempting to console Serena.

	"Well, it's not going to happen while Sailor Moon's around!
Moon Prism Power!" Sailor Moon transformation sequence.

---

	Santa Claus was opening fire upon all the toy stores and
gift shops, laughing maniacally. His sleigh had been outfitted
with a turret, rocket launchers, and lots of sharp, pointy
sticks. His reindeer had been replaced by robotic copies.

	He fired a rocket at a Christmas tree.

	A glowing disc came into the path of the rocket, destroying
it before it hit the tree.

	"Stop right there!" Sailor Moon said, "Santa Claus should be
bringing joy and gifts to all the people of the world, not
destroying it! I am Sailor Moon, Champion of Justice! I right
wrongs and triumph over evil, and on behalf of the moon, I'll
punish you!" Sailor Moon took a deep breath after saying the
whole speech in just one breath.

	"Alright, little girl! You've been VERY good this year!
No coal for you!" Santa said insanely, taking out a HUGE
stocking. "It's URANIUM this year!!"

	Santa threw the nuclear explosive stocking at Sailor Moon,
which was intercepted by a blast from out of view.

	"HA! I am the Starlight Knight, and I've got more bombs
than you do!" Starlight Knight said, following his 'mech.

	"Starlight Knight!" Sailor Moon said happily.

	"Yes, Sailor Moon, now watch this!" S.K. said, fiddling
with a remote control.

	The 'mech flared into action, blasting rockets left and
right, finally targeting the sleigh. It blasted the evil
copies of the reindeer.

	Prancer-BOOM!

	Dancer-BOOM!

	Comet-BOOM!

	Cupid-BOOM!

	Donder-BOOM!

	And, finally, the clincher-RUDOLPH-KABLAM!

	Finally, the sleigh burst into flames. Santa lept out
as the sleigh crashed straight into the 'mech.

	*BLAM!!*

	"Very nice, but you'll never stop.. THE ELVES!!" Santa
said insanely. Suddenly, a legion of armed robotic elves
flew in on rocket packs.

	"Eeep!" Sailor Moon said in shock.

	"Mercury Bubbles... BLAST!"
	"Mars Fire... IGNITE!"
	"Earth... Shining Sunlight Purification!"

	*WHOOSH!* The elfin hordes were swept back, being
destroyed, burnt out by the bubbles, or turned into cute
fuzzy pink stuffed animals.

	"AUGH!" Santa said, collapsing, "You.. have defeated me?!"

	"Yes! He can be taught!" S.K. said, handing Santa a
diploma.

	"But he's still evil!" Serena whined. S.K. thought about
it.

	"Let's see, if I remember from my Moon Kingdom days..."

###

	"Waah! Somebody turned my toys evil!" Chibi-Serenity
cried.

	Atomic Starlight Knight blew through the wall.

	"Don't worry, Serena! I remember something that may
fix it!" A.S.K. said.

	<Yeah, a BIG WRENCH!>

	<NO! That wasn't it. I was thinking more along the lines of
the 'Moon Crystal Healing.'>

	<Oh yeah. Do I remember that?>

	<I should, I mean, it WAS a very memorable experience, you
know, having most of your evil purged.>

	<I'm still here, though!>

	<Gah! Mental Boot to the Head!>

	*WHACK!*

	<Missed me!>

	<Miss this! BRAIN DEATH NEURON REBORN REVOLUTION!!!>

	*BLAM!*

	"Shut up." A.S.K. said quietly to himself in order to not
completely freak-out Chibi-Serenity.

	"Now, if I remember correctly, Stellar Fires, PURGE!"
A.S.K. said, re-creating the old 'Moon Crystal Healing' to
his specifications.

	<Yeah, I didn't think 'Earth Seas Brainwash' would have
gone over too well...>

	<Quiet.>

	The magic of the purge cleansed Chibi-Serenity's toys and
made them not-evil.

	"Thank you!" Chibi-Serenity said.

###

	"That's it!" S.K. said, "Stellar Fires, PURGE!"

	Santa Claus went through a transformation, going from an
EVIL Santa to a GOOD Santa in record time: 3 seconds.

	"I now know the errors of my ways!" Santa said, "Now,
I will give each of you a very special gift!"

	"You will?" All of them asked anxiously.

	"Next Christmas!" Santa said joyfully, pulling out his
backup sled and flying off.

	"We saved Christmas!" Sailor Moon said happily.

	"Actually, Christmas can exist quite easily if people only-"
Sailor Mercury began scholarly before being cut off.

	"Wait, where's Tuxedo Mask?" Sailor Earth asked nicely.
Starlight Knight got a big grin on his face.

	"I sent him a... special present." S.K. said, "Bye!"

	S.K. vanished, leaving everyone wondering what he meant by
that.

---

	Hurrying to the scene, Tuxedo Mask was surprised to hear a
bicycle bell ring.

	*RING*RING*!

	"Nihao!" The purple-haired girl said, running Tuxedo Mask
over, then jumping off the bike.

	*GLOMP!*

	"Is special delivery, Airen!" She said.

	<Not that Amazon! I thought I defeated her!> Tuxedo Mask
thought.

---

	Sailor Pluto STILL had a horrible headache.

	"When I find that guy..." She steamed, cracking her
knuckles.

&&&[End Side Story!]

	All I can say is: I'm glad it isn't revenge season!

Any comments?

Remember:
	Some things are best left not taken seriously.. Like this story.
