After eggman had calmed down, his gaping mouth turned into a large menacing grin. Santa furrowed his eyebrows but collected his sack nevertheless.

Suddenly his hat was pulled over his eyes causing the jolly man to stumble.

"Sorry Santa. Looks like you get to retire".

~~~~~~~~~~
Eggman stared at his festive reflection with an evil grin plastered on his face. He wore a red coat with a black belt, his own black boots, white gloves, and a white moustache. He had become anti-clause.

The villain grinned in victory but was interrupted by a small red robot.

"Umm...sir"?

"What"? He asked impatiently.

"You may want to see this". The small robot muttered.

Eggman gave a snarl but followed the other nonetheless. He had eventually came across his camera room to which the camera screens caught his attention immediately.

"What is this"?! He barked and slammed his fists down on the desk before him.

"A Christmas party sir". If orbot could stutter, he very well would be now.

"Hosted by"?

"...sonic...sir".

"Of course". He grimaced.

The large doctor spun around, his coat swishing behind, and held a large smirk on his face.

"I don't see how this is a good-".

"That's because your level of intellect and intelligence doesn't surpass everyone else's like my'n does". He growled before placing his hands on his hips.

"Get orbot. Sonic has just given me a Christmas gift".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the city centre many mobians of different colours and sizes had all gathered for the traditional Christmas party. Their host currently stood out on a stage to welcome the animals.

He had just welcomed them all here when above them became dark. All of the lights had burst and a large shape covered the evening sky above. The blue host growled and got himself into a fighting stance, with many others following behind.

"Since you all decided to celebrate without me once again I've decided to give you all a special Christmas gift". An all to familiar voice boomed.

"Eggman"! The blue mobian called.

He hopped down off the stage and stood in front of his friends who also prepared themselves for a fight. What surprised the heroes were the many gifts that fell down from the-

"Is that Santa's sleigh"?! Sonic yelled.

No reply. Instead all of the presents burst open to reveal the iconic Eggman army. Badniks. Residents that had gathered now tried to disperse from the scene to no success. Every resident was managed to be kept in this circle from the robots creating a wall around them.

"The sleigh is gone"! Tails called.

Every heroes attention was caught and they followed the genius' gaze to the starry sky above. Not to their knowledge but outside of this city all Christmas shaped trees had began to slump and die, all Christmas decorations had burst, if they were lights, and shops no longer played their Christmas tunes.

Clearly Eggman had managed to ruin Christmas and he now felt like no one could stop him.
