although I do hope I sapped your enjoyment of it after you bought my presents because I will be so sad if my hatred of christmas caused my mommy to not get me any gifts

cody115533 was driving back from Boston to his regular home in New York, when his car began to slow down. cody hammered the accelerator but it was no use; the car's deceleration was out of his control. He managed to steer it onto the hard shoulder of the AUTOBAHN
"Oh, what the f***..." he grumbled. He got out, straightened his tie and opened the hood. He expecting smoke and steam to be rising from it or something similarly disastrous. What he got instead was decidedly different.
The engine had disappeared. Completely disappeared. Where there was once an engine there was now a trollface. cody furrowed his brow, wondering how this could possibly have happened.
Suddenly a wall rose up from the ground directly in front of him, blocking progress along the road. The cars that drove past him did not seem to care, driving straight through the wall. Was it a hologram or something? cody approached it. Nope, perfectly solid.
Oh well, he'd have to get the train or something. cody crossed the road and tried to hitch a ride back into Boston.

At the TNUC headquarters, Maniac was abusing the power they had been afforded and was messing with TATYAN KARIMOVA. The gymnast/first lady of Uzbekistan had been a thorn in Maniac's side since a time that he could not remember, so he was using the resources of the Lithuanian base to make her life a living hell. PirateKing was gullible; he was easily manipulated into using the moonbase's lazer to make her unable to flip around and get 10s from the judges.
Maniac revelled in his "loose cannon" kind of role; he wondered who he could mess with next. Christmas was fine, New Years' was fine, he just liked the power. He was almost...maniacal.
YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

JeffRaze poured some Hydrochloric Acid into the beaker and something exploded. He smiled; this was what he had expected. His lab assistant, Bigwig_rah, was surprised though. He was not the required distance from the explosion and consequently his hair was set on fire. Jeffrey casually put out THE FIRE with a nearby extinguisher.
Christmas? Pah! Who needed it. He had science. Though he did appreciate how people were a bit less stressed than usual, to be fair.

mnkboy was walking down the street - past a beleaguered Nio, GenSag and Ryoko - and stopped when he saw the most festive-looking store of all time. It was brighter than Vegas wrapped in aluminum foil on a hot day but also at night time because that's when all the lights are on, and various fake "presents", wrapped and ribboned, lay in the front window. A sign over the door read: "Emporer's Emporium: Kazbar's Christmas Sale now on!"
mnk liked shiny things. He had often been distracted while talking to someone by the glint of a ring or bracelet, while also enjoying the colour yellow.
Naturally, then, the store was an attractive proposition to him and he entered. It was in the late-evening, so there were not as many people around as there might have been.
Inside was a collection of every Christmas-related item one could imagine. Festive music played over the speaker system softly and the faint smell of mince pies wafted through the air.
The proprietor of the store approached him. "Merry Christmas, sir. I'm Emporer Kazbar. How can I be of service to you today?" mnkboy smiled at the genial manager. "I'm just browsing, thank you." "Well F*** YOU THEN." mnkboy was taken aback, but Emporer said "lol I was just kidding dude chillax" "Oh, OK," said mnk with a shrug. Emporer left, whistling festively.
mnk walked over to a miniature Gingerbread house, vaguely considering purchasing it for his mother.
Suddenly, though, he broke out in a cold sweat. This place, this epitome of Christmas, suddenly sickened him, physically. He needed to be away from it.
So mnk ran out of the store, collapsing a display of candy canes as he did so. When he got out, he threw up.
Bent over, panting, he was approached by Nio, GenSag and Ryoko. "Are you alright, sir?" asked Ryoko.
"Yeah..." coughed mnk. "...Just...had to get out."
"Why were you in that boarded-up shop anyway?" asked GenSag.
"Uhh..." mnkboy looked back. The shop, which was now utterly grotesque to him, wasn't remotely boarded up. He looked at the three women blankly.
* * *
"Good," said ScareChan, the leader of TNUC's Latverian base. "We should probably get the shop owner too." "...?" asked Chrono1219. "He loves making his Christmas customers happy, of course!" "...!" exclaimed Chrono. Scare relayed the message to the moonbase, and it was done.
* * *
Emporer was serving a customer who had followed mnkboy in when suddenly he felt the urge to spit in the man's face. An urge he submitted to.
"GET OUT! NOW!" screamed the suddenly-outraged Kazbar. The customer, scared, did so.

From: muddersmilk | #093 I've been meaning to point this out. In the status it says that my location is unkown, but in my intro chapter it says I'm at HQ.
cody had managed to hitch a ride back to Boston with a random guy who went by the name of Chronic1000. Chronic, it turned out, was also an NYC native; he was just headed to Boston to drop off this rented car.
"heh, so we might even be on the same train?" "I guess!" said Chronic. "So you say your engine disappeared and a brick wall just sprouted up in front of you when you tried to walk forward?" "Err...yeah. Does that sound insane?" "Not really. This one time, I met this guy who was carrying around a fish strapped to a spear and you had to pay to use it actually as a weapon. It was weird." "That sounds bats*** insane." "Yeah, crazy world we live in, huh?" Chronic said as he drove over the famous loop-de-loop bridge that took them into Boston, taking care to accelerate so as not to fall during the upside-down part.
* * *
Meanwhile, GTM bit into a delicious-looking Turkey and Cranberry Sauce sandwich. He was exceptionally hungry, and was looking forward to enjoying this delicious-looking early slice of Christmas.
Unfortunately, the food turned to a disgusting mush in his mouth. It almost tasted like sewage, but there were also vague notes of raw iron, the now-exploded Saturn and the dried blood of GTM's enemies. Needless to say he immediately spat out his food onto a plate.
This was a shame, because GTM happened to be in a high-class eating establishment, and such behaviour was not to be tolerated. He was thrown - literally thrown, by Fabuloso, the 8ft chef - off the premises. When he picked himself up, trying to make sense of what had happened, he saw three girls surrounding a man who was also puking. He heard them having a debate about boarded up shops and decided to be nosy and check out what was going on. His stomach growled.

Chronic had dropped off his rental car and joined Cody on the train. This was incredibly convenient, since bbbtime was also there, in the same carriage.
The train set off and after 10 minutes of Chronic and Cody discussing the recent explosion of a literal planet, they were out of Boston and headed to NYC.
...Suddenly, however, they felt themselves shunted backwards. Everybody else on the train was fine, but Chronic, cody and bbbtime were being shunted down the train. When the three of them shouted for help, nobody looked up or even responded. cody watched in horror as bbbtime slid inexorably towards an old woman, on a collision course, but bbbtime simply flew right through her.
That was when Chronic realized; they were not moving backwards. They were staying in the same spot. It was the train moving on without them.
This was confirmed when they suddenly found themselves outside of the train. All three of them landed painfully on their backside, the metal of the track not helping matters.
cody staggered up in surprise and tried to chase the train, but a brick wall merely sprouted in front of him again. He hit it in frustration and turned to bbbtime.
He had never seen somebody look so physically angry. The man was practically foaming at the mouth. Suddenly, he turned into the hulk and punched the wall as hard as he possibly could. It exploded into smithereens. After protecting his face, HulkedUp!bbbtime tried to advance onward. But the wall had, inexplicably, returned.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" said Pirateking. "All these fools will NEVER CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AGAIN. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "Yeah! It's awesome!" said his second-in-command, masterplum. "All these LOSERS. Pah. They probably love presents, but presents always suck anyway! You might as well rename them "LOSENTS"." Plum put on a pair of sunglasses over the pair he was already wearing. "YEAAAHHHHH!"
"Indeed," said Pram. "It's perfect." he straightened his tie and flicked a small mote of dust from his evil chair of doom. "Perfect."
He got on the intercom and spoke to Pirateking, "by the way man nice work with GTM." "oh, no problem, Mr. President." "President?" "Leader?" "Head honcho?" "Chief?" "Captain?" "Superior?" "Harbinger of Christmas Doom?" "God?" "Your eminence?" "Your excellence?"
"OK let's just settle with 'boss'. Because he is quite a cool guy and deserves that title. In fact, you could almost say he was...BOSS YEEEAAAAHHHHH" said plum, putting on another pair of sunglasses over the two he was already wearing.
