NAP Presents: The Sora Clause 2 Epilogue

Epilogue:

Later, at the familiar machine, the lever marked "Shrink" was pulled as the tied up Vantias was dropped to the conveyor belt, being pulled to the machine.

Vantias: (struggling) Let me go! You idiot! Wait a minute, something's shocking me. GAH!!

When Vantias was inside the machine, the crowd cheered happily as Sora, now with the red coat and hat, smiled as Danny approached his father.

Danny: You guys were great.

Sora: (grins) Sounds like you were too.

Danny: Pull the...

Sora: Wait, you know whenever someone say that, the wrong lever is pulled...so why not let a responsible one pull it?

Vantias was heard screaming in agony as noises were heard.

Nack: Right, AFTER Vantias shrinks, Azreal's next.

Grounder: Oh, I'll do it!! I'm fully responsible now. I can even clean up toys and pack up presents on my own.

Scratch: (sweatdrops) Last time you did got Hiram and the others sent to Amity Park.

Grounder: Your point?

Sora: We have to-(realizes) Wait a sec. Where's Ariel?

Danny: We've got ten minutes.

Meowth: (points) She's this way!

Vantias was heard screaming more in agony as Ariel approached them.

Ariel: (smiles) Sora!

The two hugged a bit.

Sora: Ariel! Are you all right?

Ariel: (nods) Yes!

Sora began heading to the sleigh.

Herriman: Where are you going?

Sora: I've been losing so much time, I gotta deliver gifts.

Brave Heart: (concerned) But Santa. Aren't you forgetting something?

Sora: No.

Shirly: You gotta get married.

Mr. Bump: Yes, hurry, or Jesus's birthday is ruined!

Adelaine: AGAIN, that fails in logic.

Ariel: (realizes) Excuse me?

She looked more confused with Sora realizing, looking at the coat and hat he wore.

Sora: (sighs) Ariel, I...I cannot continue being Santa...unless I find a Mrs Claus.

Ariel: (realizes) Oh. So that's what the whole noodles and pie thing...You just needed a wife.

Sora: No.

Ariel: No?

Sora: (pauses) Yes.

Ariel: Yes?

Sora: What I mean was: Yes, I was looking for a wife. And no, I didn't figure on falling...in love.

Ariel: (stunned) You love me?

She began blushing a bit.

Sora: (nods) Yep.

Ariel: (pulls her hair) This is all happening so fast.

Sora: Well, there's no pressure.

Ariel: Good.

Sora: I mean, if I don't get married I just won't deliver the gifts and children everywhere will stop believing, the elves will lose their jobs, the North Pole will disappear and Christmas will be gone.

Mr. Bump: And Jesus' birthday will be completely forgotten, even WITH the good Christians trying to remember.

Bowser Jr.: (sighs) Sora, you're breaking my shell here...WILL YOU GET ON WITH IT?!

Sora: Hey, calm down. Geez, I'm trying my best after all.

Lotsa Heart: (to Sora) Get down on one knee.

Sora: (looks at her) Huh?

Proud Heart: Do it. Now.

Sora paused before going down on one knee.

Proud Heart: Now say "Ariel."

Sora: Ariel.

Ariel: Uh-huh?

Psycho: You say this is happening all so fast.

Sora: (to Ariel) You say this is happening all so fast.

Nack: But you've known me your whole life.

Sora: But you've known me your whole life.

Nic: When you were little and alone...

Sora: When you were little and alone...

Some: Santa...

Sora: (chuckles) Uh I can take it from here.

Dingo: Aww, I liked playing the "say what we're saying" game.

He looked back at her.

Sora: (grins) Santa was always there for you. And I will be, as long as you continue to believe in me. I know I'm asking you to leave everything at home, but I can guarantee you that this is worth it. This place...This place is all about magic and love...and wonder. And occasionally a thin-crust pizza and a movie and a long winter night.

Mr. Bump: Hey, just like Bowser's night with the kids.

Bowser Jr.: (glares) Hey, I don't recall inviting you to that!

Ariel: Is there a school here?

Herriman: (nods) Yes, we have one, a school, but the elves need a new principal. Because as of late some of the elves have been acting a bit impish.

Proud Heart chuckled a bit with Ariel smiling a bit.

Sora: (sighs) Ariel...I love you.

Ariel: (smiles) You do?

Sora: Would you be my wife?

Ariel paused for a moment.

Batula: (whispers to Ariel) Say "I will".

Ariel: (whispers) Thank you. I've got it from here. (pauses/turns to Sora) I will.

The two grinned, then hugged each other. As they were, no one noticed a pink arm with claws untying the struggling Azreal before snatching him, vanishing from the area with the toy goat.

Grounder: Awww, a happy end, I hope.

A bit later, the crowd was outside in the snow with Gaia, as a priest, looking at Sora and Ariel about to be married while the familiar immortals and friends watched.

Gaia: By the powers vested in me by me, I now pronounce you Santa and Mrs Claus.

The couple smiled a bit while the bell began ringing, causing the toys to revert to toy mode.

Gaia: Well, go on now. Kiss her!

Mr. Bump: Hurry up before the 12th gong like Cinderella's pumpkin carriage.

Miss Calamity: Or when Charlotte's status of "princess" was over.

Shirly: I told you before: The kiss has to happen with not JUST a Princess, but also with True Love!

The two turned and as the sixth gong was heard ringing, the couple kissed as the crowd cheered.

Few: Awwww!

Reluctant Ones: Ewwwww!!

Malina's wings fluttered a bit with excitement while the final gong was heard, making the couple kissing glow brightly. Everything flashed as the crowd covered their eyes. When it cleared, everyone turned, noticing Ariel now donning Christmas-looking gear and Sora, still young looking, now wearing a black/red Santa-looking suit with his clothing similar to his original clothes. The two looked, gasping in surprise.

Ariel: We-we're changed!

Sora: But I'm still-

Herriman: That's never happened before.

Anakin: I think Master Yoda will explain it when he comes home to here.

The crowd only cheered happily as a few gave thumbs up with Danny, confused, feeling his mouth before noticing a new tooth in his mouth, grinning with the tooth twinkling. The crowd cheered with Ariel happily kissing Sora as the bouquet was tossed, both briefly transforming to old forms, then back a bit.

Padme: (amazed) Wow.

Silver: This is surprising!

Sonic: I know. Guess Ariel and Sora can disguise themselves at will now.

Boss: Nevermind that! (jumps up) GIMME THE BOUQUET!!

Psycho: NO WAY!! Sarah needs a new one!

Dingo: No, that's mine!!

The hunters jumped as the struggled, each trying to catch the bouquet while Danny quickly went to his father.

Danny: Dad, we gotta go.

Sora: (realizes) Oh right. Walk me to my sleigh, Ariel.

They hurried through the crowd.

Sora: Come on. We gotta go! When we get back, we start making some more toys.

Quickly and swiftly, Danny and Sora hopped in the sleigh now with the reindeer once more together before looking at Ariel.

Sora: (fixes his gloves) All right. Well, Mrs Claus, you might want to get some rest. You see, tomorrow begins vacation season for me, (grins) which means a three-month honeymoon for us.

Ariel chuckled as Sora fixed his hat.

Sora: Nothing tropical. You do not want to see this in a Speedo. He-he-he.

Ariel: (grins) Don't be home too late.

He looked at Danny, then at Ariel.

Sora: And so it begins. (to the elves) Boys, we've got some toys to deliver! (slaps the reins) Hyah!

The crowd cheered while waving to Santa and Danny goodbye. Everyone else was cheering while Inez noticed the bouquet the hunters were fighting landing in her arm, stunning her.

Most: (shocked) NEZZ!!

Boss: (groans) CRAAAAAAP!!

As the crowd continued cheering, Maximus only looked at his comrades, holding some broken toy pieces in the bag.

Maximus: Friends...I think it's time to go now...

Inez: Yeah...

Meowth, however, only looked a bit confused.

Meowth: Nezz?

Inez: Let's just get the Extreme King's flight components repaired.

Back in Amity Park, as the familiar hoof sounds were heard outside, inside the bedroom, the familiar girl was sleeping before in came Danny, putting his coat down. He sat near her before shaking Megan, awakening her.

Danny: (whispers) Hey, Megan?

Megan: (sleep mumbling) R...Fighting is Magic. (awakens) Huh? Wha? (notices) What, Danny?

Danny: (grins) Come downstairs with me. I want you to see something.

Downstairs, the two arrived to where the small fireplace was.

Danny: Meg, watch this.

The girl, confused, watched before, to her shock and surprise, the chimney pathway became bigger, then down came what appeared to be Santa. After a moment, when he stepped out, he transformed into a familiar figure, surprising her and making her grin as he approached her.

Megan: Uncle Sora?!

Sora: (grins) Do you have any twos?

Megan: Go fish! You ARE Santa!!

She hugged Sora.

Megan: (happily) You are Santa! I knew it was you all along.

Sora: (grins) And you were right.

Megan: Uncle Sora...You look all rosy. Are you feeling better?

Sora: (nods) I'm feeling much, much better.

Megan: Is there anything else I should know about?

Sora: (ponders) I don't know. But Danny has something he wants to tell you.

Megan: OK.

She looked at Danny, whom looked uneasily to her.

Danny: You know, I was exactly your age when I found out my dad was Santa. (sighs) But I couldn't tell anybody.

Megan: (realizes) I can't tell anybody either?

Danny: No. (realizing) But knowing it isn't a burden. It's a gift. Most kids stop believing in Santa when they grow up.

Finally, Danny smiled warmly.

Danny: But I get to believe in him forever.

Megan: (smiles) I love you, Danny. Thank you.

Both hugged together with Danny smiling at his father, whom grinned.

Megan: (pauses) But do we still get toys?

Sora: (smirks) If you ever get to bed and go to sleep like the other kids.

Megan: (realizes) Oh...okay.

Sora: Merry Christmas, Meg.

Megan: (smiles) Merry Christmas, Santa.

Sora began backing back to the chimney with a grin.

Sora: (to Danny) Sport, I gotta fly.

Finally, the two watched Sora go up the chimney, turning to Santa form as the chimney shrunk back down. Both step siblings grinned, smiling to one another. They heard hoof cluttering on the roof.

Danny: Come on.

Outside, both of them came out of the house, then looked at Sora flying the sleigh while the familiar time machine was flying high. As that was happening, Lightning was humming while wobbling the sleigh.

Sora: Whoa! Easy, boys, easy.

Psycho: Good thing Nezz and Maximus can repair the flight controls quickly.

Dingo: Meh, I would've hotwired it like I would with the Toon Patrol van.

The sleigh halted a bit as did the Extreme King.

Sora: Hey. You're gettin' it, Lightning.

Megan was lifted as the step siblings smiled to the friends and Santa waving while the ones below waved goodbye. Sora then looked back at the familiar chubby dear behind the sleigh patting it as Comet groaned.

Megan: (points) Look, Danny!

Danny nodded a bit.

Megan: (waves) Merry Christmas, Comet! And to you Freelance Bounty Hunters!

They waved before Megan hugged her step brother.

Others: (randomly) Bye. See ya soon. Later. Hope to see you again.

Sora: (to the deer) All right, boys! Hyah! Ho, ho, ho!

Finally, the sleigh and Extreme King took off.

Sora: Hyah!

Lightning only made a bugle sound as the Extreme King flew in a different direction, about to leave the timeline.

TK: (waves) Bye, see ya in OUR timeline!

Kari: See ya on Halloween or Christmas!

Sora: (happily) Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!

Lightning, however, almost tripped as he wobbled the sleigh around.

Sora: Come on. Nothin' wrong with a straight line, Lightning.

The deer only laughed a bit.

Sora: Lightning! (panics) LIGHTNING!!

Most: (pauses) He'll be fine.

Cosmo: Hmmm...you think the other me and Tails with the other Danny, Sawyer, and Oliver will be okay with Sora?

Tails: I'm sure they'll be okay.

Grounder: And we got rid of the bad guys...uh I think.

Coconuts: (pauses) Grounder, you DID make sure to do BOTH Vantias and Azreal, right?

Asriel: Of course he would. I mean he wouldn't be dumb enough to let the toy me escape.

As the Extreme King was sparking and flying, Grounder only looked confused.

Grounder: Wait, did I?

Finally, a series of flashes with lightning was seen. Meanwhile, back at the North Pole, as the song "Everybody Loves Christmas" was played, Ariel, now in old form, danced around and laughed with the puppets bopping to the beat with Ariel transforming from Mrs. Claus to regular form and back. Meanwhile, at an elf bakery shop, as the familiar toy music was heard, Vantias, glancing at the toy Santas, watched as he frowned at the toys dancing to the music with the evil Sora glancing at the lifeless toys.

Vantias: (notices) Hey! What the heck are we doin' out here? Agh! Look, if we're gonna dance...dance like this. All of us!

He began dancing a bit differently, then glared at them dancing the same style.

Vantias: (annoyed) Everybody, you idiots! (to an elf) Hey, lady! (dancing strutfully) Watch this! Ever seen a toy do this?

He posed, grinning before cackling, causing her to become worry and dart off.

Vantias: Where you going? Whoo!

(8 Years From Present Time: 20XX)

Narrator: 2 weeks before July 28th...

Somewhere in the darkness, a flash was seen before the familiar goat toy, groaning as he undid the gag in his mouth, looked at the very thin figure with pink arms.

Figure: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ooooh, I'm loving these watch things! They go in time AND space and wherever I can muster up a fight!

Azreal: Where the hell am I, you idiot? This isn't the North Pole.

Voice: No...it is where YOU need to be, Azreal...and I can provide you with a heart more powerful than your chocolate one you currently have.

The goat toy realized, then looked at a figure with dark glowing eyes chuckling wickedly before the toy goat only smiled.

Azreal: Master...
