Brigh laughed almost evilly as she stood amongst the crumbling, flaming rubble that was Sandy Claws workshop. So many crazy things have gone on, it almost felt like we had been here for almost a year. And how strange that Jack was a member of a club, and had relatives he had never mentioned. What else was he keeping secret? And how many other Union Jacks were there?

The glow of the fire reflected off Brigh's crazed eyes, and off her giant fierce grin. "Yes, I am the hero! I saved you all! I await your glorious praise!!!"

"Actually," Fishermen Steve stepped forward proudly. "I saved us all. Well, with the help of my prized pokemon!" He stroked his pokeballs and cooed gently to them.

We were all quiet for a second, and Brigh was about to disagree loudly (and possibly with her flamethrower) when the last few seconds before the fireblast echoed in my mind. "Oh good heavens!" I exclaimed, looking at Steve with shock. "He really did save us this time!"

All of us stared with disbelief at Steve, even Brigh, though she also wore a pouting look, still believing she was the one who saved everyone. Steve looked around at all the faces pointing towards him, shrugging his immense weight uncomfortably. "Well, what do you mean 'this time'? I'm ALWAYS saving the day! My Magikarp are brilliant like that!"

Ever the skeptic, Drake crossed his arms and took a deep breath, before looking thoughtful, as if scanning the events which occurred after the destruction of our Apt complex. One of those flashback thingys flashed upon reality, showing how Fishermen Steve's Magikarp turned into the Karp Kommandos, how Steve's fishing skills helped him catch fish in the desert, keeping them alive long enough in the bandit camp for me to formulate an escape, and finally showing the events of a few minutes ago, of Steve busting through the heavy door with his sizable body, effectively saving us all.

"That last one wasn't really necessary Drake...we remember that happening.." Roy said, not even bothering to wonder how Drake can show everyone flashbacks when he doesn't even have a TV.

Drake shrugged. Steve stood up proudly. "That's right! But I can't take the credit, my pokemon are the real heroes!" Though we all wanted to, no one could disagree. Maybe he really was the best pokemon trainer?

Before anyone could say anything, the building exploded, flattening everyone to the ground. A giant fireball rose to the heavens, and scalding air rushed over everyone. Someone yelled and screamed and then suddenly....

We were all back on the bridge of the ship. "Ah welcome back, " Patrick Stewart greeted them as the quiet sounds of technology chirped and whizzed in the cool processed air. Everyone was still crouched on the ground defensively for a moment before Brigh stood up and shouted, "HOLY SHIT!!!! SANTA WAS PACKIN SOME SERIOUS HEAT!!!"

I couldn't help but agree. Even though I didn't understand what type of 'heat' she was actually referring to.
"Indeed..." Patrick Stewart said. "Although it wasn't really Santa you know. (Spoiler:) Santa isn't real after all."

Patrick Stewart laughed as all of us froze in disbelief. "Thats right, that was one of the alien's secret bases. Now we are engaged in interstellar war, which is what I wanted anyway, thank you!"

Jack shoved his way to the front of the group to exclaim at the Captain. "WHAT!? You USED us! Please tell me we are at least at war with a member of the Council so we can get the shard and get out of here!!?"

At the mention of the word 'shard' I pouted. "Yeah, we went through that whole Christmas special without even getting a shard...."
