Silver Bots

The bells of dark software rang out. Time had come to tell them that it was time.

The elves seemed to realize that it was Bones who had died, and with him felt his strength drain into the darkness. Karma said this was different... "It 's not like we made you wear the reigns, for once." LG asked Karma to do something about the blood circulating from the ceiling, like a hose was ripped. LG could only groan - Azaran himself had signed off on Christmas day so now it was up to him. His body fit through the door and landed inside, just as the IGNOites ran around the room. Atlas said they had arrived at an important situation now that the true Santa Claus was gone.

Elves...SG2's new weapon may have been comical, but it seemed like Iris had been using poison for assassinations or something. "This will be enough", she said. Brad's throwing shuriken was probably not reliable for the job. Karma groaned, tendrils of ivy like holly leaves and blood red berries spreading out of her hands. Perhaps...what they should do...things like that were the first things, after all. "Let 's hurry up and--" SG2 whispered angrily before they could duck. "My fellow centaurs", atlas said, "tree time is here."

Firm software, clink clank clink clank clink clank clink clank... silver bots with their eyes following behind them. Seeing that there was literally light from the ceiling, Karma pointed her fists at the enemies and pounded blood across the ice. "For the Konungur!" SG2 barked, running at xL and throwing him in the direction of the foe. Atlas galloped quiet around the bush...Karma said this year would be the first time the Father Christmas situation became serious. Iris explained that they didn't have long to assume all elves acted suspiciously, but it didn't matter against their heinous power. The IGNOites had been displaced by the time stream through the door and landed inside a trap.

As light from the colorful lights shining down on the surface, Karma pointed at the bishop... Some kind of cliched detective, immature and green. SG2 was better at being a small tiger than any of them could ever be. All the reindeer left the sanctuary, birds drooping all over the ground before them. Another time again? Bradios was going to sacrifice himself to kill those bots after all...LG muttered under his breath before he confidently hoisted the IGNOites above the cliff. "I'm going after him, Azaran wouldn't want it to end like this." SG2 tried to hide but LG dodged all her attempts before smiles formed. "I won't be coming back without him", LG shouted. "Onward I guess."

...Everyone probably already knew they were dead. While they were at it, MTS hissed under her fists clenched that there was literally no hope left without LG. "That idiot..." Sharp words left her tits again. It was too late to go after him now. Even xL was actually fighting the tears. Evergreens like candy cane wishes decorated the caverns below and the tiger just kept walking. "Alive, then...where the sunlight streams, we cannot die. It's not over until I bring that zedkiel boy back from the other reality!" SG2 knew that LG was motivated by his change, grabbing the IGNOites and running smoothly across the ice. Bones wasted his body already, she wouldn't let that Gaylian...

December probably wouldn't be able to keep Kristof 's curse from spreading to the dead now that Kringle had been turned to blood and bones. Krampus knew all along, fighting in lone silence against the Father, but it wasn't enough. Azaran...if only he had talked about it! LG knew he could not trust the others, but wanted him to trust himself. What happened with the other IGNOites had happened to him as well, time weakness carved into his Gayblade. When the time returned the curse would kill his body, but it didn't mean it was a big deal. Death for a Gaylian was different. Iris knew that and gave him specific potions to hold it off as long as possible. Azaran asked her to get revenge for killing that goat, after all. "Maybe Azaran..." Iris said, somewhat unsure. Atlas barked a quiet holiday tune to pass the time. They didn't have much left before it all would end anyway.

"I can't stand this anymore", MTS hissed, holding her boobs. "I'm going upstairs! SG2 can't fight those bionic bots alone." Karma concluded that there was stairs by the door that they'd found, proud of herself for seeing it. LG told them to let him go but the IGNOites were bad at listening. Cross, Linda, Krampus, Santa, PWR...everyone they ever beat they always did it together. SG2 was better at being a little shit, but they could try it sometimes as a treat. Karma laughed, idly adjusting her shadowstep ability. Bradios was confidently checking his scanner for elf bots. MTS bounced her bumpy buckets and smirked. Tim hadn't really done anything yet and remembered he was in the story too. Iris rubbed poisonous ivy leaves on her banjo. Atlas insisted he lead the charge as a technomancer who could shut the bots down. xL was useless like always. Together, the IGNOites had joined SG2 in the desolate ice caves with one goal - to find LG and stop him from sacrificing everything!

His body crackled with multiple forces...LG was probably ready to step in. Soon, the darkness of the bots extravaganza would be stopped. "Azaran was studying with me, I can't let him die. He will sacrifice himself if I don't stop him...so I will let that bad bad software take me instead." LG was resorting to Santa's crimes now, all for his zedkiel boy. Unfortunately, Karma licked an icy pole and couldn't get there in time...Atlas galloped back down the tunnel through holes large enough to make xL scream with joy. It was a trap, of course, but since they didn't have Bones anymore those elves dramatically made this thing bullshit.

SG2 laughed madly into the darkness, flaming fist aura shooting out of her voice. "Please excuse us", she smirked, elf bots flying across the ice cavern beneath them. LG growled - that tiger wasn't supposed to experience his Gayblade. He didn't want them to see what he would do out here. SG2 stood up from the shadows until she could scream out from the shadows, sleek silver bots wrapped up beneath the trees. "Evergreens are razor oiled", the elf guard said, idly adjusting his face as the IGNOites ran like reindeer in the woods. Claws like marionette titties ripped through the air, effortlessly probably not easy to cut the IGNOites. Machinery humming shook within the ruins, leprechauns lying dead beneath the Christmas tree.

"When Bones died they were easy to get", laughed the elves. Garbage...but it didn't matter, Azaran never heard of them. He was pure, LG believed it. Karma pointed at the bishop on top of the tree. Unlike all the previous Santa Clauses, it was a single shape, although not just as the IGNOites could expect. Ivy began to creep out from under his head and his arms were not supposed to talk with a deep voice. All of the other reindeer examined the IGNOites with great breaths, getting closer.

Karma concluded that this was happening so the bots could finish Azaran. MTS asked Karma if it was hard to talk with a frozen tongue. xL removed his pantlegs and danced to the tune of the holly jolly December sounds. "I hate that guy", whispered Christopher Kringle. Wait...what?!

...Everyone was probably pretty suspicious of Santa showing up suddenly, because Bones killed him. "Cookies gave me new life", he laughed, pulling out a sarcastic little gun. xL offered up his ass to the new Christmas King, but LG grabbed a stone and threw it at him. "This is why I told you all not to come!", LG cried, tearing up with fire in his eyes. Perhaps only now did they realize he was trying to protect them all. "Azaran told me Santa would return and I knew he would try to stop him, for that goat that died. And Krampus. But if I could kill him first, then...then--"

Aaahh...

Santa shot his gun and LG's legs cartoonishly slipped on the ice. His body dropped. Regrettably enough...LG was dead.

The IGNOites were not going to let these halfwits get away with that...! MTS' tremulous titties could ever cause the ground beneath to crack open and swallowed all the bots in one blow. Her rage was flying off the handle for LG's death. SG2 summons poachers to kill the reindeer while Atlas' hooves crushed the last of the bots. Now Santa was all that was left. It was so easy, if only LG had trusted them to help...when things looked worst, the IGNOites had always saved the day. But now...now it was too late to save him.

Fairy sparks came through, and Santa's job was done. "Hate to cut this thing short but I have a hot fist for a pixie queen", he laughed. Brad's scanner picked up unimaginably hot flames in that direction...and Azaran. Santa's true goal was to finish what he started, no matter the tiger in his way. "Please help LG", SG2 whispered angrily before shaking her flamesaw forward without wasting speed. "I'm going to kill that Claus if its the last thing I do!"

...

From that day, when the dimensional fabric ripped open and SG2 went after Santa through it, the tiger was not seen again. Another Christmas came and went, but this story was not able to finish. But they say that Azaran is still on a search, for revenge against that Kringle once and for all...

TO BE CONTINUED...?
