Bah Humbug. [A Jeannie and Dire christmas story]

The only thing Krampus said was: "Pick a number between 1 and 11."

Dire grinned because he knew the number a soon as he said pick one.
"7!"
Krampus grinned and said "Correct!"
Immediately a tentacle grabbed him and shot a weird substance down his throat.
He then stood at attention.
Dire knew immediately he was being controlled.
Yet he could still think independently, just not move.
The more he tried, the tighter the control seemed.
"To save my brother, Jeannie Rose... You must defeat Dire. If he is intact enough to help you defeat me, then you can..."
Dire snarled and drew his flaming Moonblades.
"Fight!!!"
Dire then moved forward menacingly and robotically towards her.

ewwie gross glad i didn't say 7 Jeannie is confused save your brother,huh you mean santa claus ?

how can you be brothers your a squid and he is an elf. and you need to learn about personal space when it comes to where you stick your tenticles Jeannie then notices dire coming at her.

no fair I can't make swords appear that's cheating .hey wait a minute buddy it's me rember she holds up her friendship ring pop.you don't wanna slice up me, chop up the icky squid then we can make squid kabobs.

Dire looked unfazed at the Ring Pop, and began running.
Yet he ran directly past Jeannie.
Straight to Mr. Cuddles.
He picked him up and held a gun to his head.
"Say yo-"
Was all he could get out before Mr. Cuddles but him on the finger.
"Ow. You little shit..." He said, dropping him.

darn, Jeannie though that snap him out of it. She's then confused when the mind controlled dire runs past her. oh no Mr. cuddles! leave my puppy alone!

trying to mind control him into hurting the puppy he gave her. she's definitely going to turn this squid jerk into Sushi for this. but first, she has to save her puppy. luckily Mr. cuddles is pretty smart and bite his finger to get away. Jeannie runs by and scoops him up. She decides to get Mr. cuddles to safety first then do something about the mind controlled dire,

Right, but where to go there in the middle of nowhere. she needs to hide her puppy somewhere. oh yeah, Santa Claus is there if she gets to him and unties him. he can use his Christmas magic to get them out of here. She holds Mr. cuddles tightly and starts running to where Santa was tied up. running away isn't one of Jeannie's favorite things as it's not very heroic but she is good at it.

plus getting Mr. cuddles to safety is more important to her right now huh maybe if dire chase her and gets away from fish face his mind control might weaken that be a nice bonus.

Santa Claus held out a paralysis gun for Jeannie to use on Dire.
"Use this..." He coughed

yay a ray gun for Christmas! Jeannie takes the gun, weird huh weird getting a gun from santa, hopefully, it won't hurt him too much.

well Jeannie trust that Santa wouldn't want dire permanently injured so it should be ok and zaps him with the paralysis gun sorry malik but you need a time out

Dire was in full sprint towards her when the gun zapped him and he had no feeling in his entire body.
His was like watching a VR movie.
"Agh... what the hell?"
Krampus had a similar reaction.

Jeannie is relieved when dire talks look like the ray gun just froze him. and he sounded more like himself, tentacle maybe it broke the link between tentacle face. who seemed affected by the ray to most have been the psychic link between them. so maybe it did break his control.


sorry you were being really weird and chasing me with your sword. so Santa told me to shoot you what a weird thing to say and gave me this ray gun.
so are you-you again?

Dire sat up and grimaced.
"Yeah, I'm fine... I don't even want to know what the hell that white stuff was... It tasted horrible."
He drew his Moonblades and ran forward at Krampus at blinding speed.
The thing is, Krampus is a demon so he could see him easily enough.
He used his tentacle to ensnare Dire, he then threw one blade into Krampus' eye and one to Jeannie.
As the blade grew ever closer to Jeannie, it went from light blue flames to neon pink flames.
Dire stared horrified and amazed.
"What the hell?"

it looked like monster boogers, I can't believe he stuck that in your mouth so gross Jeannie then notices the pink sword and grabs it.

yay shiny!!! and my favorite color too Jeannie playfully swings the sword around. then she holds it up over her head i have the power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok icky monster time to stop you Moon Spiral Heart Attack  Jeannie spins the sword around and points it at Krampus it shoots little pink bubble hearts at him

Dire watched the very anime looking attack, forgetting that he was in anime clothing him self, it looked as if they were really in an anime.
He watched as the hearts seared and melted through Krampus.
He revolted with a loud, "ARRRGH!!!"
And dropped Dire.
This was a very big mistake being as Dire was pissed.
He stabbed his blue katana through Krampus and he died as Dire pulled it down through him, cutting him in half.

After Krampus was dead, he snatched his moonblade from Jeannie.
Santa Claus came to the two, his cheeks extra red and jolly from the blood rushing to his head.
"Thank you, kids. I would've died..."

Jeannie jumps up and down excited yay we did it Christmas is safe! mission complete. Jeannie does Cammy's win pose.

She then makes a pointy face when dire took the sword back. she liked playing sailor moon. oh well she then gives Santa a big hug and smiles yay Santa is ok

Dire watched as his Moonblade went from pink to blue.
He nodded when he was sure it was blue again, and put it into its sheath.
He stood in the corner, waiting for Jeannie to be done with Santa so he could go home.
Being as it's Christmas Eve.

Santa laughed rather creepily when Jeannie hugged him and looked to Dire.
"He looks like he could use a cheering up..."

yeah he's been this way all day, not sure how someone can be gloomy at Christmas time. think you can help Santa? maybe some Christmas magic can cheer him up
