Groove - Dec 19 - 3:10 pm

We see several people going around the shopping center, either shopping, hanging out, having fun, or for the kids, telling the local mall Santa what they want for Christmas. As some kids had just arrived at the Santa area, a figure is Ren behind a pillar. They snicker before taking out a high tech remote and pressed a button, all of a sudden the presents around the Santa display start to shake. In a flash a clawed fur covered hand bursts out scaring a couple kids, then out of it came a scary teddy bear with sharp metallic fangs and claws. Causing a lot of the kids to scream, the rest of the presents then opened themselves revealing more scary looking toys and gifts.

From demonic RC vehicles, cybernetic dolls, robotic Stuffed animals, heck there was even a giant living blob made of a play dough like clay. At the moment everyone ran away as the toys started to wreak havoc, at the same time the figure had began laughing maniacally.

Mali U - Spies' Mansion - Dec 23 - 6:00 Am

Alex, with Streaks on her, was seen using XLR8's legs to speed around the house up to hang up some Christmas lights. Once she finished she plugged it all in and was proud of herself, seeing the amazing light show she set up. "And that's how it's done," she said, "n-nicely done Ms. Alex," Streaks said as they zipped back inside the house, "lights are done!" She greeted to everyone.

"Nice job Alex," Ben said as he and Sam were busy with the food, currently he and the red head were trying to bake a cake. "Hey can you give us a hand Alex? I can't read the measurements on the measuring cup," Sam asked. "Sure thing, just as long as I can have some of the batter when we're done," she said as she went over to help, Clover then came in smiling and wearing a Santa like outfit. "This is awesome! I am so hyped for our Christmas party tomorrow," she said, "I know what you mean Clover, I can't remember the last time we had a Christmas party with just us." Ben commented.

The four then saw Erza in her leopard form walk in wearing deer antlers, all the while Ren and Jen rode on her back in elf outfits, "don't forget us too!" Jen cheered as Ren pulled on his outfit, "do I really have to wear this? It's so tight" he whined. "You'll get used to it Ren don't worry," Ben assured, "so what do you think of this lay out for the outside decorations?" Clover asked showing a drawing of the front yard. With several decorations strewn about, and the main centerpiece being a giant Christmas light sculpture of Santa driving his slay delivering presents.

"Huh? I thought we were going with my idea of a giant globe with Santa flying around it." Sam said, "huh?! I though we were making Frosty the Snowman riding Rudolf the red nosed reindeer." Alex complained. The three then started arguing as Ben sighed before replicating by three, "okay boys, lift on three, 1, 2, 3!!" They all had lifted up the large cake pan before putting it into the oven. "Whew, thank god that's over with," he said, "don't forget the cookies," Jen said as she opened the fridge, then took out a pan that had cookie dough on it.

"Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder Jen," He said patting her head, "you two mind checking the notes I left to see how long it takes to bake both the cookies and the cake?" He asked. The two nodded before looking at the notepad, "okay, says here that the minimum amount of time for baking for the cake is about, 15 to 17 minutes," Ren said, "thanks, and the cookies?" Ben asked.

"That would be 12 to fifteen, but that's for the chocolate. The gingerbread cookies are 8 to 10 minutes," Jen answered. Right after Ben set the separate timers for each confectionary they all heard a nasally voice yelling, the girls stopped arguing and had went out with everyone else to see Mandy riding a large parade float of herself wearing a Santa outfit made of ice. "Come on Trent drive faster!" she yelled, "I'm trying Mandy but the ice is messing with the controls!" Trent said as he was having a hard time driving the blasted ice berg. "What the heck is that?!" Clover exclaimed, "oh hey losers, just bringing my new ice sculpture parade float to the campus. You know for the competition," she smirked, what she was talking about was a little contest the university made.

The students who show the most Christmas spirit get a fabulous all expense paid trip to any destination of their choice. "With this I'm a shoo in to win, especially since you don't even have anything up yet," she smirked, getting the girls all irritated. "Ta ta" she said before laughing as Trent drove away, trying to avoid swerving from the ice covering the axles, and partially melting away. "Ooh that's it! We need to beat that shrill Harpy or my name is Gunther! And thank god it's not," Clover said, "that's why we should go with my idea, not only does it promote Christmas spirit, but it also has educational value with the globe." Sam said, "people don't want to be educated on Christmas Sammy. They want to be happy" Clover argued, "yeah so let's do Rudolf carrying Frosty! Everyone loves animals" Alex said, "girls can we sort this out later, we still need to get some more things for the party" Ben said.

Then had grew Big Chill's wings on his back "I'll fly into town to get some more stuff, you three can sort this out," he said flapping his wings. "I'll help you out," Erza added before assuming her Ruby Sphinx form and flew alongside Ben, all the while the girls were still arguing about who's idea they should use for the contest. Jen and Ren in the meantime kept watching on the cookies and cake.

Groove - 7:20 AM

Ben was seen with several bags in a cart behind him, "seems about everything, checking the list again," the hero had taken out a list to review it. "Okay, I have some clothing materials for Clover's new projects, an autographed copy of Sam's newest favorite book series, Alex's new treadmill and some plushies, and a card for Jerry. That should be it, I think," he said, Erza nodded in her leopard form, gnawing on the chew toy Ben got her as an early Christmas present. He then noticed a toy store, "oh that's right, I haven't gotten anything for Ren and Jen yet. Convenient this was here, wait outside Erza," he said, the leopard nodded  before standing outsides

He then walked into the store looking for something the two kids may like, "what to get, what to get," Ben muttered. Trying to think of something the kids may like, then had remembered Ren saying something about a new action figure coming out and Jen mentioning some Lego sets she wanted. And by a stroke of luck he found them, "gotcha," before Ben could reach up to grab them he heard a scream.

He ran to the source to see a woman backing away from something, "ma'am?! Ma'am are you okay?!" He asked before seeing what she was afraid of. It was a small teddy bear, standing on its own "s-stay away you monster!" She screamed, Ben was utterly confused as to why this woman was afraid. Then understood a second later as the bear changed, it's mouth opened to reveal several sharp metallic fangs, it's paws deployed razor sharp claws and toes, and it had several spikes in its back and head. "Okay, now I get the screaming, hey Fozzie!" Ben yelled getting the thing's attention, then had grabbed a nearby hockey stick to whack it away. It gripped onto the wall before clinging to it growling, then had rushed Ben slashing his claws.

"Woah?!" He yelled dodging the Claw, it doubled back and went for a second slash, only to get held in the air by Lodestar's magnetic powers, "don't think so fuzz bucket. I don't know about you, but this toy needs to be recalled," Ben then turned his finger into Heatblast's and had threw the bait into the air before shooting a spark at it. This caused the bear to burst into flames before burning away, then he stepped on its mechanical frame. "Whew, hey are you okay?" He asked the woman, then was surprised to see it was Viola Vanderfleet, "Viola?! What are you doing here? I would've figured you'd be in a gardening store." he said helping her up, "well I was shopping here to get a toy for one of my relatives as a Christmas present, when suddenly that, Thing! Came to life and attacked me" she explained.

"That's pretty weird" he commented, "oh by the way, are you still coming to the Christmas party?" Ben asked her, "yes I am, I even have a tree you can add to the outside of your home" she said, giving him a small clear plastic bag with a picture of a large Christmas tree. "Cool, made it yourself?" Ben asked, "I'm a botany geneticist, of course I made it." She said smugly, Ben then bid her goodbye after paying for the toys he was getting the kids before flying home.

Once getting back he had taken out his keys to unlock the door, only for it to open on its own and suck him and Erza in "WAH?!?!"

The young man was then spat out in Jerry's office and fell right on top of the girls, lucky for Jen and Ren they had gotten off the couch before he landed. "Ow" they groaned, "sorry girls" Ben apologized, "it's fine" Sam groaned. "Hello ladies, Ben, children, Erza, it's lovely to see you again" Jerry said, "happy holidays Jerry" they replied, "hey Jerry can you deliver the stuff I got to my room?" Ben asked, the man nodded and sent the bags back. "Anyways, aside from wishing you a merry Christmas, I'm afraid there's something sinister afoot."

The Brit then pressed a button on his desk which turned on a monitor showing the whole fiasco that occurred a few days ago. Ben got a closer look and saw the bear "hey wait! That's the thing that attacked Viola at the toy store today!" He said, "I see you're already familiar with the problem then. You see, for the past several days there have been several incidents around the greater Los Angeles Area involving seemingly normal toys suddenly transforming into monstrous entities and attacking innocent bystanders" Jerry said playing more incidents of similar events. "Woah, talk about freaky" Alex said shocked by the video, "agreed Alex, now onto the gadgets. For this mission you shall get the Ice Queen Perfume, The Wind Tunnel 9,000 Tornado Blast Hair Dryer, Razor Retractable Faux Nails, now in Candy peppermint red and white and guaranteed never to break when cutting harder materials, sugar free hot and spicy gum in peppermint flavor, and finally, the newest additions from our gadget line."

He then brought out four items, "the first one is the Claus Case, a bag with its own infinite pocket dimension capable of holding anything now matter the amount or size" he said tossing it to Clover "Ooh awesome" she said putting it on her arm. "Next is the Tassle Tangler, a long stretchy and extendable cable able to hold anything or anyone, cleverly disguised as Christmas tassels to give it a festive look" he tossed that to the Sam, "the Star buckle, a belt buckle in the shape of a star that can disperse either a blinding flash of light, a high intensity laser beam, or several small start shaped projectiles that stick to enemies and explode on contact" he tossed that to Alex "sweet."

"And finally, the Electro Magnetic Wave Blasting Digital Walkman, capable of shooting a powerful pulse of electromagnetic waves that can knock out any and all electronics, now loaded with the most popular Christmas songs through the years" Jerry said throwing it to Ben. Who plugged his earbuds into it and turned on the music "wow, nice picks Jerry" he said listening to Mariah Carey's All I want for Christmas is you. "And and before you go here are some early Christmas presents" the baldy then gave them all some gifts, Clover got a new pair of earrings, Sam received a book mark of her favorite novel, Alex got a small stuffed bear, Ren and Jen had small figurines of Ben, and Ben himself got a smoothie cup "wow thanks Jerry" he said admitting it was a nice cup, "thank you. By the way Ben, that cup is actually able to automatically refill itself with whatever smoothies you put in, just select a flavor and press the button" he said making the shapeshifter's eyes widen.

Groove - 5:00 pm

The gang was sneaking around the shopping center, "keep an eye out for anything unusual" Ben said as he hovered over the mall using Big Chill's wings and invisibility to keep himself hidden. "Will do" Ren said as he and Jen were hiding in the shadows, Alex had peeked out from a corner and looked at the toy store Ben was at earlier that day. "Nothing happening yet" she said over a com line, Sam then looked down at the Santa area from earlier before speaking into her communicator "same here," she said.

Clover had been monitoring a kiddy play area but got distracted by some boys who walked by, "ooh" she said eyeing them, then doubled back before seeing two kids running up to them calling them dad. Oops, okay imma just focus back" she said looking back at the play area.

Unaware a figure had looked at a large display in the center of the Groove, which had a Christmas toy drive. They smirked before taking out a remote and blasted the toys they had collected, Ben took notice "incoming people, something or someone is doing something at the toy drive" he said before flying over. Whoever it was already his bud what Ben saw happen was shocking, the toys that were collected suddenly came to life and became more monstrous, "not again?!" The person in charge said before running from a demon RC helicopter. "I got you sir!" Ben yelled before going full Omni, then had flew towards the man and pushed him out of the way of the toy.

It curled around before shooting several little missiles at Omni who blocked it with a crystal shield, then shot some miniature missiles of his own using Upgrade's powers to make miniature missiles. The chopper turned around to get away, before he could let his guard down Ben turned around to see a big Teddybear standing up before growing claws and spikes. "Again with the demon bear?" He questioned before punching it repeatedly, however the stuffed toy's plush body apparently made it highly impact resistant. It then roared before smacking Ben, it was about to advance when Sam appeared and used the Ice Queen perfume to freeze it "that oughta cool him off" she quipped before kicking it. Causing the bear to shatter to pieces, "watch out Sammy!" Alex called out before kicking away a toy soldier that was about to jump her friend.

"Thanks Alex," both Sam and Ben said as they got up, then heard screaming, they then saw Clover wrestling with... a sweater? "guys help! This stupid sweater is possessed or something!" she yelled before throwing off the clothing. Revealing it to be rather monster like, having teeth in the neck hole and claws on its sleeves. "We got you Clover!" Ren and Jen said before tackling the sweater into a mannikin. The clothing article shook its top before putting itself on the manikin, which caused it to come to life also and take a fighting stance. "Uh oh," the twins then activated Bloxx and Wildvine's power, Bloxx for Ren and Wildvine for Jen, then attacked.

Ren shooting several blocks at the sweater possessed dummy while Jen whipped at it, making back into the open. "Alex!" Clover called out, "I'm on it, Star Buckle do your thing" she then spun the buckle around before it shot a high intensity laser beam. Once it hit it burned the sweater right off the manikin, as well as part of the manikin also, "oops, I think I put too much power into that..." Alex said awkwardly. "No worries, still, like what even happened here anyway?" Clover asked, "not sure, everything was normal one minute and the next I knew everything went pear shaped fast," Ben replied. Then noticed a short someone spying on them from a distance, once they realized they were spotted they ran "hey that guy was listening in on us! After him!" Ben said, the group then gave chase. The individual was having a hard time escaping due to the difference in stride "end of the line bucko!" Ren said leaping at him. The person then dodged before taking out a remote and looked around, then fired a lasted at a bicycle, which caused it to transform into a child sized motorbike like ride that they got on and and drove. "What the?!" Clover exclaimed, "they ain't getting away that easily" the group then assumed their spy uniforms and flew after them using their Jet Pack Back Packs.

"Stop right there!" Alex yelled, "sorry but looks like they aren't gonna be stopping anytime soon, looks like a job for the Tassel Tangler" Sam said, then threw one end of the tassle at the suspect which managed to wrap around and grab his ride, "got it-WOAH?!" She yelled. The bike was apparently very strong and pulled her along with it. "Sammy!" Alex, Clover and Ben exclaimed before grabbing her, "gold then still" Sam said as Ben grabbed the tassel, then threw the other end at a lamp post which it also wrapped around. Anchoring their perp, "now, time to capture our holiday mayhem spreader" clover said as they approached the bike. The figure then got off before getting tackled by Ren and Jen, "you ain't getting away that easily" the young girl cheered, the person then aimed their remote at a cardboard display of a tentacled monster before shooting it.

This caused it to come to life and grab the two "Ahhh?! Not the tentacles!!!" Ren yelled, "we got you!" Clover and Alex yelled before using the Razor Retractable Faux Nails to slice the cardboard beast into bits. "Hey get back here!" Ben said before leaping at their suspect, only to hit a manhole as they had escaped through it, "ow, dagnabbit" Omni grunted turning back, and rubbed his nose. "Is everyone okay?" He asked, "yeah, thankfully Alex and Clover managed to get us free" Jen said, "who was that freaky guy?" Alex asked. "I don't know" Sam said, then saw something on the ground, picking it up it appeared to be a small circuit board "however I think this could shed some light on things" she said. Then sent the sample to Jerry before they all went home.

Mali U - Spies Mansion - Dec 24 - 6 AM

The girls were seen in the living room, still arguing about what their lawn light sculpture should be. "I'm telling you the Santa around the Globe is the winner!" Sam said, "it should be the classic Santa Claus delivering presents" Clover argued.

"We are doing the Rudolf and frosty!" Alex said as Erza, who had been sitting there the whole time and had finally had enough, roared loudly "knock it off! How about you blend your ideas together?! That way it includes all the elements of your ideas!" She spoke. Shocking everyone, "you know, that does sound like the better option, now that I think about it" Sam admitted. The cat rolled her eyes, then out of nowhere Sam's COMPowder rang.

Outside Ben was busy working on something outside underneath a large sheet, which was their light sculpture for the contest, "I'm sorry for leaving them out of the loop but we really need to get started on this" he said. Then suddenly he was called in by Sam saying that Jerry has the analysis of the circuit board they found, "I'll be right in!" He said before getting out from under the sheet and ran inside.

He sat down on the couch as Jerry explained the component to them, "hello Spies, after analyzing the circuit board you sent me I have discovered that it's main function is to give anything it's used on a severely powerful enhancement. Additionally with the right additional components, they can transform whatever they're used on into a more powerful and monstrous version of itself" Jerry explained. "That's some pretty powerful stuff Jerr, now what kind of place on earth could develop technology like that?" Sam asked. "I am uncertain, however after looking over the circuit board I have found a logo and an address. If my suspicions are correct our perpetrator may be living in this dwelling, or has set up their base of operations in it." Their boss explained more.

"Got it, hey it's actually close by. We'll notify you about any updates Jerry" Ben said as the communication ended. "Hey I know this neighborhood, used to tutor someone there back in highschool" Ben explained as they nodded.

Unknown Residence - 7:30 AM

The gang was now standing outside the wall of a large villa in one of the high class areas of Los Angeles, with a few things that stand out being the copious amounts of scrap metal on the yard, a large satellite dish on the roof, and the high tech security cameras everywhere. Though the weirdest part, was that there were no decorations, ironic since the holiday season is just around the corner. "This is the place, problem is though, how are we going to get inside with all those cameras?" Alex asked, "easy, we can't go through or over, or else we'll be spotted, so we just need to go under" Ben smirked. He then turned into Omni, morphed his arm into Armadrillo's, and drilled into the ground, tunneling underneath the wall.

After reaching one part of the house which was covered by a tile, Ben gently lifted it out of the way before peeking his head out. Looking around he signaled that the cost was clear, soon everyone began to crawl out "so any knowledge on who lives here?" Clover asked, not impressed by the decor. Alex then looked up the address, "here they are, the Rockwell family, a well known family famous for their incredible skill in technology and engineering." She explained, "with scientists in their family they'd probably have a secret lab or something," Sam said.

Ben then tapped a wall "uh speaking of" Ren then went over and tapped an area before punching it, causing a small door to open. "Nice job Ren" Sam praised as they crawled in. Or at least tried to, "man it's hard to squeeze in here" Alex comments, "yeah no kidding. Now I know how Gwen and Kevin felt when they had to cram themselves into that mining cart when we first encountered the DNAliens and the Highbreed"Ben replied. Then had shrank down to Gray Matter's size to fit better, "that's better," he said. "Yeah lucky you" Clover muttered, "hey, we may not have the power to shrink down like Ben, but we can use the Sugar Free Hot and Spicy gum to sweat and slip through here a lot easier" Sam said taking out the gadget.

"Eww but Sam I always hate that gadget" Clover Complained, "now's not the time for complaining clover" Alex said before she ate one of the gums while shoving another into Clover's mouth.

Later

The group then exited the passage way and found themselves inside of a large laboratory. "Wow, talk about creepy, I'm getting serious mad scientist vibes" Ben comments as the girls freshen up to get the sweat off them. Jen then went over to the computer before turning her hands into Upgrade's "maybe the computer can tell us what's going on" she said before interfacing with it. After unlocking the computer it showed dozens of files, mainly of manifests of toy shipping companies, large scale Christmas events such as toy drives or charities, and even some festivals and plays that were going to occur in a few days. "What's with all these files?" She asked, "seems like whoever our baddie is, really like to keep tabs on toys. Think it could be Seth? You know, the guy who saved us during our case with the toys that were brought to life with those military chips" Alex said.

"Impossible, he already off probation and has been doing rather well for himself. Why would he want to wreak this much havoc?" Sam said, "how about Seth Toyman? The baddie responsible for setting all those killer Mandy dolls loose on our campus last year" Clover suggested. "Also impossible, he's still incarcerated" Ben said showing video feed of Seth Toyman locked up in his cell. "Vladimir Kozyreb?" Sam suggested, "no, still being held at the WOOHP Euro Branch." As they began to try to figure out who could be behind this, a grunt was heard before several energy beams hit some toys inside the lab.

Causing them to come to life, they all helped as the monster toys hanged up on them, "hey?! Why are these toys so tough?! Ahhh?!?!" Alex screamed as several large teddy bears dog piled her. Then multiple stretchy snakes ganged up on Clover before tangling her up, Sam was about to fly to call for reinforcements, only to be blasted in the face by a heavily etched out water cannon before the water froze. "H-hey?! Let me go!" She grunted. "I'll get you out!" Ben yelled before turning his hand into Heat Blast's, but before he could melt her out he was suddenly shocked in the back by their perp using a modified joybuzzer, then had fallen down with Ren and Jen as they were shocked earlier. "The oldest trick in the book," he snickered.

Later

The gang was now seen inside of a large tank, tied up in large amounts of Christmas lights and tinsel, "okay you annoying little nut case, exactly what the heck are you up to?" Ben said, the figure then took off the mask they were wearing to reveal they were a young boy. "A displeasure to meet you, name's Tod Rockwell" he introduced, "hey I've heard about you, you're some sort of prodigy of the Rockwell family." Sam said.

"Yes I am, but frankly I wish I wasn't" he said, "huh? Why?" Alex questioned, "why? Why?! It's because of this unnaturally intelligent mind I've lived through years of torture!" He yelled. "Every since I was born, my natural gifts were already showing, I spoke at a three months and did complex math equations at one year. I was confident that my abilities would earn lots of praise, but oh was I wrong. When my parents noticed, you'd think they would praise my genius and skills and give me the positivity I needed. But no!"

Tod then shows a compilation of photos on the computer showing him working on several tests, equations and inventions. "They always made me work, work and work. No fun, no love, and no positivity, they didn't want their star child to hinder this talent with unnecessary affairs. So they put me through the ringer, the only time I was able to take it easy was on Christmas when I'd go spend it with my grandparents." He said, "so? Why all the holiday destruction?" Clover questioned, "because my parents forbid me from even having Christmas! They noticed that I was slacking around this time and decided to get rid of all the, what they call Distractions, and told my grandparents I would be spending the holidays with them, just to give me more work to do! But if they think I'm taking this lying down, they have another thing coming" Tod then smirked before shooting his remote laser at some toys on a table which caused them to transform.

"As you see, I do like one thing about my gifts, I can make extremely powerful inventions. My crowning achievement is the Krampus Remote, I can use it to alter and manipulate any sort of object down to its molecular level, allowing me to transform any harmless toy, into terrifyingly powerful monsters hellbent on destroying Christmas" he explained as a demonic stuffed snake slithered into his arm. "Okay, but why ruin Christmas?" Ren questioned, "because I've had to live several years of misery, so if I wasn't allowed to celebrate Christmas this year, then no one will! And no one can stop me, I guaranteed it" he then flipped a switch showing his family locked up in suspended animation, sealed in action figure cases, which shocked the spies.

"Now, I'd you need me, I need to complete my greatest achievement yet. Come tonight on Christmas Eve, I shall use the power of my remote, along with my family's satellite on top of our company building, to send its influence around the country. Maybe even around the globe, and make sure no one has a happy Holiday!" He yelled before laughing maniacally. Then had hopped on a hovercraft, "anyway, I'll be going now" he then hit two buttons on a different remote, one that opened up the roof of his lair, and another that began filling the tank they were in with water and glitter "Ahhh!" Clover yelped. "Hey be glad, you'll be the worlds most realistic snow globe," Tod laughed before riding out of there.

"Oh we gotta find a way out of here, if Tod unleashes the power of that thing, there's no telling how much destruction it can cause" Sam said as they all struggled. "I-I can't get out, for a kid, Tod really knows how to get these knots tight" Alex comments, Clover then tries to reach for the super spicy gum, but can't "grr! My arms stuck, and I can't reach our gadgets!" She said. "Dang it, really wish Jerry gave one of us the Double-In-Trouble Osmosis Bubble suit, least that can give us the ability to slip out of here" Ben said, "can't you guys just phase through it?" Alex questioned, "we can't, he out these enhanced braces on us that nullify our powers" Ren said, "h-hey, mines a bit loose, if only I had some sort of of lubricant. Like oil, or moisturizer, or... my Smoothie!" Ben said as he reached into his back pocket.

Then had pulled out the smoothie cup "Ben! I know you're thirsty but this isn't the time for a drink" Sam chastised, "no Sam, remember? I had a protein smoothie and brain max smoothie earlier. With the brain max smoothie having fish oil in it, oil that" he then selected the brain max smoothie and held the button, causing the cup to violently blast the drink all over them, "Ew! Gross" Clover whined. "Sorry Clove, but thanks to that" Ben then slipped out of the lights and tinsel, seeing him everyone got the idea and managed to get out. "Ahh, that's better, but how do we get out of here?" Alex asked, "yeah, the smoothies gummed up out jet pack backpacks" she said, "not a problem," Clover smirked before bringing out the tornado blast hairdryer, she aimed it down and blasted, causing everyone to get blown out of the tank, and launching herself out as well.

"Thanks Clover" Jen said as she had ripped the braces Tod put on her, as did Ben who turned into Omni and Ren, "incoming, we're not out of the woods yet" Sam said noticing more of Tod's toy army around them, "is there anyway we can get rid of all these annoying toys at once?" Clover asked, the toys then began attacking. Ben had guarded everyone by using XLR8's legs to zip around and keep the army away, "I got this" he said, then had ran around in circles to create a powerful vortex sucking the toys into it.

Which gave Sam an idea, "wait Clover! I know how to get rid of them, or rather, just how to put them away!" She said, "really? How?" The red head then pointed to the Claus Sack the blonde was holding onto, "oh right."

Clover then removed the bag from herself, "Ben! Throw then over here!" She called out, "roger that babe!" He said before throwing the toys at her. She smirked before opening up the bag which had expanded wide before engulfing all the toys, "whew, that was close. So the question is, how do we stop Tod?" Alex asked. "Well he said he was going to his family's company to use their satellite, we just need to find where it is and stop him before he unleashes his wrath" Ben answered. "Here I got the coordinates, we gotta move" Jen said hacking the computer.

The group then flew away, with the family still trapped and grunted in annoyance as they were forgotten. "Oh don't complain you can't say you don't deserve it, plus you're gonna be collected anyway" Jerry said as WOOHP arrived to collect them.

Rockwell Tower - Dec 24 - 6:00 pm

Tod was seen hooking up his remote to the satellite humming to himself, then had heard some engine fire before looking back. "What the?" Using some binoculars he saw the gang flying towards him "what?!How did they find me?!" He gasped. "Get ready Rockwell, your days of holiday terror are over!" Alex said as they flew closer. "That's what you think," he then brought out several toy sentry guns before hitting them with his remote. Turning them into lethally dangerous sentries as he kept working, "incoming! They're gonna shoot us!" Ren warned, "Evasive maneuvers!" The group begins to fly around dodging various blasts.

"We got this one" the two kids said before transforming, with Ren turning his torso into Terraspin's, while Jen turns her head into Spitter's. "Take this, Sick Twister!" The two then blasted a powerful spew of mucus slime and wind which knocked the sentries away, granting them enough room to land. "Give it up Tod! You can't run" Alex said, "I ain't running, but you will" the boy then pressed a button which caused more toys to show up to defend him. "Gonna take a lot more to scare us!" Ben said as they all charged, Sam was heading straight for their target but had stopped to dodge a large clay fist, "a clay monster? Didn't see that coming" she said, then screamed before dodging more fists.

"Woah-Kay buddy! I think you need to chill out" she said, then had brought out the Ice Queen perfume before blasting the clay monstrosity with it. Freezing it solid, "huh? Ice is a good look on you" she joked before smashing it to pieces. Clover and Alex meanwhile were fighting some demented drones that were shooting lasers at them, "talk about an airborn assault! Woah?!" She yelled dodging a blast from a drone, "don't worry Clover, I think it's time for little combo gadget action," Alex said smirking, then had brought out the Star Buckle. Clover smirked back before bringing out the Wind Tunnel 9000 Tornado Blast Hair Dryer, "prepare to see some Stars!" They quipped before Alex pressed the belt buckle, which made it open up and release millions of small shurikens, to which Clover used the Tornado Blast Hairdryer to blow away towards the drones. Once they stuck to them the small projectiles exploded causing the machines to be destroyed, "now that's what I call star power" they said high fiving each other.

With Ben, he had just finished taking down two life sized figures of superheroes using Humungousaur's size, but there were still more figures after him. "Sheesh, you'd think for a kid who's parents never let him have any fun he'd have fewer toys. But this guy's got a lot" he comments, then shoots a ball weevil ball at another figure causing it to explode. "Yea! Did he like steal them or something?" Ren asked, then ducked as Jen had climbed onto a flying action figure and rode them around. "Don't know!" She yelled, then had jumped off letting it slam into another action figure. "Okay then, I think it's time I stop this. But how?" Ben asked before shooting another one that was coming towards them with electricity and magnetic waves, "it's almost over anyway, so you may as well give up!" Tod mocked plugging his remote in.

Omni snarled before noticing something about the action figure he hit just now, the electricity was making it sputter out, then it inflated before exploding, leaving the original action figure it was in its place. "What the? Did it just turn back after my magnetic waves and electricity hit it?" He asked, then turned his brain into Gray Matter's, "oh Wait! Of course, the device is energy based and is most likely done by having electrical currents pull apart the molecular bonds, then use it to rearrange and reform them into new forms. By using the same combination of Electrical energy and magnetic waves, only on a much larger scale, I can reverse the Krampus effect." He said, "but how to train it onto the toys without knocking out the other electronics?" He then dodged another toy before the digital Walkman fell out of his pocket. "Oh! That oughta work," he said grabbing it with a Wildvine Tendril, then uses Upgrade's fingers to interface with it and adjust its settings. "Just need to adjust its frequency to knock out only the toys Tod's turned, and also his remote."

Ben then turns his left arm into feedback's, his left shoulder into Atomix's, and his right arm into Shockrock's. "Sorry kid, but your mayhem days are over" he said raising the Walkman hp high and charged it up with massive amounts of energy. "No!!!" Tod cried before running at him, only to be tackled by Ren and Jen as they held him down.

The hero then activated the Walkman which released a powerful bust of electro magnetic waves, completely reverting the toys back to their original states and destroying Tod's remote, as well as the Rockwell Family's satellite. "Well that solves that" Sam said as Tod began crying, throwing a tantrum about his plans are ruined, feeling a little bad for the kid Alex out a candy cane in his mouth to at least make him feel better.

Bottom of Rockwell Tower - 7:30 PM

The group was now giving Tod to Jerry, "what are you gonna do with him? I mean, I know he was kind of a brat and had tried to turn us into a life sized snow globe. But he hasn't exactly had the best life which lead him to doing what he did." Sam asked, "I'm well aware Sam, so I have decided for Tod to live with his grandparents, in addition he will attend WOOHP's juvenile rehabilitation Hall for a time, for all the younger criminals you've detained, as well working in community service which will help lighten his sentence. I'm sure tech repair will do nicely for him, in the mean time, he can possibly even socialize and make friends with the kids there, have fun like a young boy is supposed to. And maybe even have a happy childhood" Jerry assured, making them feel a little better, then saw his family being taken out of the action figure packaging he put them in, and afterward being handcuffed.

"What about them?" Ben asked, "as for the Rockwell family, they on the other hand will be getting quite the punishment for abusing their child as they did. In addition, they'll be doing a substantial amount of community service, almost over five thousand hours of it, as well as several mandatory compulsory parenting classes" Their boss explained. "Wow, that's an even more harsher punishment than what you did for those bad parents back in the O.P." Sam commented.

"Well they really what they sow, by the way, isn't there a Christmas decoration competition you all should be getting back to?" Jerry asked. "Ahh!! You're right! We still haven't made anything for the contest!" Clover said, "not to worry, I've uh. Sorta been working on something when you all were arguing" Ben said confusing them.

Mali U - 7:50 PM

Ben and the girls were now standing outside their lawn waiting for the judges to come. The girls being increasingly nervous, "are you sure this will be okay Ben?" She asked him, "don't worry I got this covered" he said.

"Okay the mansion dwellers, let's see what you've created shall we?" One judge asked, "well you see, at first we couldn't decide on which idea to use. But Ben here managed to cobble something together" Sam explained, which was Ben's cue to pull down the sheet covering what he was working on. The result shocked everyone, it was a Christmas light sculpture of Santa and Frosty flying around the globe in his sleigh delivering presents to all good boys and girls, with Rudolf pulling them along, in addition there was a massive Christmas tree on it with a bright star on top. "Oh my! How splendid!"they all said, "yeah! This is awesome Ben!" Alex said, "it ain't over yet, Ren, Jen, you know what to do" the hero called over. "Right!"

The two then activated their alien powers in a location farther away, with a Ren blowing Big Chill's Ice breath into a small device, which was connected to a tube leading to Frosty's hand. And had made him shoot snow and frosty vapor out into the air, making it snow around their house. Jen meanwhile increased the voltage to the lights making them turn off and on as a spectacular light show. "Amazing! A true work of art indeed!" The judges said, what they hadn't noticed though was that the Star on top of the Christmas light tree was actually the Star Buckle, and it was being charged up, "wait is t that the Star buckle?" Sam asked pointing to it, Ben then noticed something in his pants and took out out revealing the Star he was going to use for the display. "Uh oh," he was about to take it down when it fired a powerful high intensity Heat ray, "uh oh, I hope that doesn't hurt anyone" Alex said worriedly.

Mean Mandy's ice berg of a sculpture, had attracted the attention of some other judges "time for me to take the prize, as always" she said smugly. Only for the laser beam to hit her ice sculpture, which took its upper torso off and caused water that was inside to flood out "Huh?! My ice sculpture!" She wailed. The judges then got back to avoid the water, "not good, the LA sun melted the ice from the inside out causing it to melt. That's gonna be a hefty deduction" they said before walking away.

Mandy then began balling before some water fell on her, "while I do feel kinda giddy from this, I kinda feel bad that we wrecked Mandy's statue" Sam said as they saw what happened. "Same here, wonder if we can do anything to make her feel better" Ben said, Ren and Jen then got an idea.

Mandy's Dorm - Dec 25 - 5:00 AM

A knock was heard at the door, Mandy groaned as she went to answer, only to see a life sized ice sculpture of herself there, with a card that read "to Mandy, the coldest Ice Queen on campus." look it over she smiled impressed, "wow, I gotta say this looks nice" she then drags it in, struggling as she did so. Once inside she panted before putting a hand on the statue for support, only for it to start moving, revealing to have mechanical components inside. "Huh?!" She yelped, then the statue spoke "hey cutie" the statue then proceeded to kiss Mandy's face multiple times as she complained.

Meanwhile

Spies Mansion - Same time

Ben and the girls were smiling as they saw Ren and Jen playing with their new toys, "that was nice of us to give Mandy that ice sculpture. Wonder if she's enjoying it?" Alex said as they all sat on the couch, too early to tell, but since we also decided to make it a prank with those water proof animatronics I put in it. I'm sure she'll have a blast" Ben snickered as the girls giggled. "Speaking of people we find annoying, I heard you say something about a gift for Ronald" Erza said, referring to Ben's original roommate when he and the girls moved in, who was an alien conspiracy nut. "Oh him, let's just say he's having an out of this world time" Ben said.

With Ronald, the rotund boy was seen having a blast playing with a toy UFO "this is the best present ever! It's even got it's own tractor beam!" He said as it picked up some plants, then had hovered it over to him, then someone bumped into him. "Ooph! Sorry Ronald" she said, then noticed the ufo, specifically what it was holding "oh it's fine, no harm done. Hmm?" He tilted his head as she looked exasperated, then sighed before kissing him on the cheek, which revealed that the plant his ufo caught was a mistletoe.

Back to the spies

"That was nice of you, by the way, we've got our own present for you" Clover said in a flirty way, "really?" He asked, then saw them holding mistletoes over him, "oh uh..." he blushed, then was jumped by all three girls.

End

Ren and Jen interview

Ren: man, this week's mission was pretty hectic.

Jen; I know what you mean bro, and not just with how crazy using toys to destroy Christmas. I mean like, what drove Tod to do that, I get that some parents can be strict. But actually taking Christmas away from their kid just so he can work more, that's just wrong.

Ren: yeah, I'm glad our parents weren't like that, and we're really lucky to have met Ben, Sam, Alex and Clover. They were nice enough to give us a new home, and a new family, it really makes you appreciate the things you have in life.

Jen nods

Jen: before we close up, we'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Everyone: (pops in) And A Happy Holiday!!
