Back at their getaway car, the Bad Guys watched as Tiffany and the crowds gathered around Roboclaus.

'I gotta hand it to you, Webs,' Snake said, nodding his head. "They really love your Santa."

Piranha gasped as Snake covered Pandora's ears, "hey hey, don't you dare."

"Why it's true isn't it, Snake finally admired my Roboclaus is a good idea" Webs says.
    _______________________________
"Maybe too much," Piranha said, watching as people gave Roboclaus the same love and attention they'd earlier given to Big Nick, the giant Santa balloon.

"These people gotta get home if we're gonna pull our Holiday Heist-tacular in the morning." Webs pulled out her laptop and began to hack into the suit.

She was able to operate Roboclaus like a giant pup-pet. As if on cue, Roboclaus shot flames out of his hand. The crowd screamed in terror and then erupted in cheers. It really did scream fun!

"Shark," Webs said, typing at her controls quickly. "I just patched your comms into the suit. He's no Scrooge, but think you can play Santa?"

Shark grinned and tested out his very best Santa voice.

"Ho ho ho!" Shark boomed. "Happy holidays! Now it's late, so everyone go to bed. Because Santa commands that evervone celebrate tomorrow... in their homes and not at their security guard jobs!"

"I'll do it!" Gary the bank guard whooped. "I'll stay home for you, Roboclaus! Please be proud of me!"

He tossed his security hat onto the ground and ran away from the bank as fast as he possibly could. Everyone else in the crowd also began to wander off, heading toward home to celebrate the holiday with their families.

"We did it!" Wolf said, shooting the Bad Guys a wolfish grin. "The Bad Guys saved Chrism--achoo!"

Sniffling, Wolf shuffled into the lair's living room the next morning.

All his pals were slumped on the couches and chairs and floor, moaning and coughing and groaning.

"I can't believe," Wolf said, stopping to sneeze again. "That after all that--achoo-we're too sick to pull off our Holiday Heist-tacular."

"You all got sick?" Mason Jr. asked.

"Yeah, can you imagine, we had to spend Christmas morning inside and sick." Mason says.

"So the Holiday Heist-tacular had to be canceled then?" Drake asked.

"Yeah" Mason says.

Snake whined, "How about a new tradition: No more traditions! Or holidays! Bah humbug!"
_______________________________
"But then we noticed something in the fireplace." Mason said.
_______________________________
Shark squinted, looking suspiciously in the direction of the fireplace.

"What. Is. That?" He muttered.
_______________________________
"What was it?" Pandora asked.

"Presents." Mason said.
_______________________________

A pile of presents was gathered at the base of the chimney, wrapped in beautifully festive paper.

"Oh no," Webs said, her eyes growing wide. "I think they're presents."

"Like, for us?!" Piranha yelped.

"No... it can't be!" Hyena exclaimed dramatically.

Horrified, Webs nodded. 'We must have done so much good for the city, that we ended up on Santas Nice List! I'm gonna be sick."

"No way! This is impossible!!!" Dragon shouts sick of the fact that they got presents.

"The shame!" Shark wailed.

"Not only did that bearded freak have the gills to break into our lair, he goes and gives us presents, not coal?" Piranha cried.

He leaned over to sniff a present, then perked up.

"Wait--is that stinky cheese? How did he know?!" Piranha said.

"And is that the Jumbo Gummy Bears I want?!" Hyena said in joy.

"Wait! Even some of these presents are from Krampus! You've got to be kidding me!" Dragon said.

"He's Santa, he knows everything." Pandora says.

"I still think it's creepy." Snake says, "and how he found our hideout."

"Why is getting gifts from Santa bad?" Pandora asked.

And surprisingly, Wolf picks her up and puts her on his lap.

"Because we did have a Christmas miracle to change us for the better, we didn't have an angel to give us a reason of being good." He said.

Snake grumbled, "The Bad Guys will be the laughing stock of the criminal community. I'll never be able to show my face again."

He pulled down his ski mask to cover his face from the humiliation.

Wolf wiped his nose, then leapt toward the heist board.

"This will not stand," Wolf declared angrily. "We need to start planning now. Next year, we are going to heist the North Pole and show Santa that the Bad Guys belong on the Naughty List!"

_______________________________
"And that is the story of how we saved Christmas that year." Mason finished the story.

"So what did you guys planned for that year?" Pandora asked.

"We robbed Santa with some naughty kids from the Naughty List to break into Santa's Workshop." Mason answered.

"Really? What exactly happened?" Pandora asked.

"Eh. That's another story for another time. But after that year, we didn't do anything." Mason said.  BiancaSantana880

"Why's that?" Pandora asked.

"Because along the way, a baby was delivered to us. And soon after that we had more kids that are still the reason becoming good guys in the first place." Mason said.
