HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! This was supposed to be the Christmas Special Chapter 2. But I turned it into the New Year Special Marathon. :3
Since I couldn't reach my word goal (6000 words) I decided to cut it into two chapters.

I hope 2018 will be a great year for all of you!

This chapter is not related to the story.

Hope you all enjoy!

"Aurora! Aurora!" A female voice called out the Ice Queen's name in excitement. Aurora watched as her younger sister-Eudora run towards her with a bright smile. "I'm finally in the story! I have made an appearance after 70 Chapters!!!" Eudora squealed like she was opening her Christmas present after waiting for a year to get it. She was waiting for far too long and wanted to get inside the chapters. Unluckily for this special chapter, it may not relate to the story and the plot.
"Wait, what?" Eudora suddenly asked confusedly. "What do you mean it may not relate to the plot and story?! I'm only in this special chapter?!" She gasped in horror. Not noticing what the author said at the very beginning of this special chapter. "Why are the authors so horrible? What did I ever do?!" Eudora asked again. Wrapping her arms around Aurora to hug her. The Ice Queen let out a sigh out of her lips and decided to answer for the narrator and writer for this special chapter. Me! Vexana! I got author powers now! Hahahaha!
"Well, as far as everybody knows. The author of this fanfic lost their marbles and is a potato weeb rock." Aurora made her answer rather cold, as usual. She is the Ice Queen after all. It's natural for her to be cold unless she's facing that sexy wolf hunter Roger. "Vexana, if you were in your physical form. I will frost your entire being right now." Aurora said calmly, but her words went out bitterly. Her sister who was still hugging her letting out a laugh. "My sis denying the fact that she loves Roger is adorable!" Aurora just lets out a sigh and pulled herself away from Eudora to break the hug. It was no use in lying since clearly everyone knows including Roger himself. She would sometimes avoid him because she didn't want to create an awkward moment. "Your Moskov is stuck in the Ice Lake, by the way. You should go help him." Aurora grumbled her words as she walked towards to the large cabin with her sister to meet and greet the others.

A ball of light suddenly went through one of the cabin's large windows. The mages and supports who are in the mages and supports party room: The Blood demon Queen, the Crow Princess, the mystic mage, the cat, the doll looking robot, the youngest magician, and Cyclops watched as the ball of light transformed into a female humanoid figure. "Someone help me get Moskov out of the ice lake! He's probably freezing." It was Vexana. She sounded overall concerned and worried about her beloved marksman. "He's probably roasting himself to keep himself warm," Alice said before taking a sip on her glass of red wine. "Roger, Zhask, and Argus are on the scene. And for some reason, Helcurt got stuck as well." Gord spoke. Going over to the only entrance door of the room to open it up after hearing someone knock on it.

He was immediately hugged by a silver-haired mage with blue sclera. "Gord! Finally, we have met!" Eudora said with a bright smile on her face. "U-Uh! Yeah! Dora right?" Eudora can hear Aurora letting out phft sound out of her lips. The lightning mage got embarrassed by this, letting out a soft growl out of her lips, quickly pulling herself away from Gord. "I know you, but you don't know me? Hmp! How rude!" Eudora stomped one of her feet to the ground and turned herself in the opposite direction so she couldn't face Gord. "I-I'm sorry! Would you like to go inside?" The mystic mage grumbled. Opening the doors wide for the two mages to come inside.

Eudora silently walked in with her sister, the lightning mage still avoiding Gord. He let out a sigh. Closing the doors once they were inside. The two female mages were both immediately got greeted by the rest of the mages inside the room. "Hi, Eudora!" Nana greeted with a bright, adorable smile. Eudora returned the smile and patted Nana's head. "Hello! How are you and that bird doing?" She asked curiously before beginning to tease the young cat elf.
"Hey, ice Queen. How's the weather?" Alice asked Aurora as she walked towards to her. A playful grin on her wicked-yet beautiful face. "Cold." Aurora simply answered, her eyes looking away from Alice. She was obviously avoiding her because she doesn't want to interact with a being that dwells in the Abyss. "Just like you? No wonder you can't get a boyfriend! Want me to help you out?" The blood demon Queen offered her service, but Aurora immediately thought of it as not going to work out well. So she just politely declined it. "I'll get my own suitor." She said, immediately thinking about Roger. "Oh, come on! I'll be really helpful!" Alice let out a laugh. Grabbing one of Aurora's arms and pulled her out of the cabin. Leading her towards to the Fighter's Cabin while talking about men and how to seduce one.

Meanwhile in the Assassins' Cabin. Everyone was rather quiet except for the two well-known couples. Natalia was having a conversation with Tigreal in the darkest corner of the room while Hayabusa and Kagura were cheerfully talking to one another by the buffet stand. Lancelot told everyone earlier that he was going for a little walk with Odette by the lake. Another assassin occupied because of a romantic relationship. While Helcurt somehow got stuck in the lake with Moskov. Fanny hasn't arrived in the cabin yet, probably still deciding which clothes to wear. The only ones who weren't busy are Saber and Karina. The two were far away from each other. Saber didn't want to talk to anyone at the moment and was feeling envious of the two couples inside the room. He doesn't have a relationship with anyone besides his partner Fanny.

The two are known for doing missions together while managing to keep their hatred for one another at bay. Fanny can fly which pisses of Saber since he can't and he would always tell her to slow down, but the female assassin would always ignore him. While Saber can annoy Fanny because he can counter her and defeat her every time whenever they would duel. Even though this relationship does not seem to be romantic. The swordsman secretly has feelings for Fanny. He didn't know what it was at first. He merely thought of it as a malfunction in his program. But soon he found it to be love after being with his partner for a few years.

Suddenly the entrance doors of the cabin got slammed open by a yellow-haired woman. Allowing the cold breeze to enter the room. Besides her was the King of the Moonlight elves. Who was also late for the party and decided to go with the assassins instead of the mages and supports. He wanted to have a lovely time with Karina before vacation ends. "Why are you late?" Saber immediately asked Fanny.

She glanced at him as her reply and walked over to the large fireplace located at the center of the room. She allowed herself to sit down and feel the hot warmth of the fire. Fanny managed to get trapped in a blanket of snow while flying her way towards here. Luckily Estes saw her and got her free.

Saber walked over to his partner. Sitting down beside her, turning his head to look at her to see how she's currently doing. She looked exhausted as her body trembled from the cold. Didn't look like she can take another harsh word from Saber. The swordsman decided to lift one of his arms, placing it around Fanny's shoulder to give her his warmth. "What are you doing?" She asked him. Turning her head to face him.

He faced her as well, a faint smile forming on his face. "You're shivering. I thought I'd give you my warmth to make you feel less cold. Or you can wear my winter coat if you want." Saber offered, but Fanny shook her head. "No, thanks. You need it." She let herself lean against his tough chest that felt like concrete walls.

The last time that Fanny remembered Saber taking his armor off was when the summer party arrived. She couldn't get rid of how he looked like with only his shorts on with sunglasses covering his still hidden eyes. Fanny let herself yawn, her tired eyes staring aimlessly at the crackling fire of the fireplace. "I'm surprised you haven't pushed me away yet." She mumbled. Lifting her head up to look at Saber. "I'm surprised you're not wearing winter clothes. Like to show off your skin and cleavage?" He said in mockery as he grinned playfully. Immediately making Fanny's cheeks turn red.

She pushed him away without hesitation, quickly scooting away from the swordsman. "I'm outta this party if you're just gonna tease me. I forgot to shop for clothes, okay? This is all I have in my closet and I don't go out when winter comes." Fanny grumbled, unable to look at Saber who was still grinning. She wanted to smudge that look on his face so badly, but too afraid to cause a scene after that summer party accident. Another reason is Saber is a lot stronger than her. So he can just easily dodge her attacks.

The swordsman shifted closer to the female assassin. Lifting his hand up to point at something. "Bad idea. You shouldn't have moved away from me." Saber said, his grin fading away into a sly smile. Fanny glanced at him confusedly, lifting her head up to look at what he's pointing at. Her eyes widened after finding out that Saber was pointing at a mistletoe hanging just above them. "Shit! What the hell?! No! Why did you move closer then?!" Fanny looked like she was having a meltdown. Her cheeks obviously red like tomatoes. "Is it wrong to follow your partner? It's your fault for moving in this direction." Saber placed a hand on her chin and slightly lifted it up. "Wait! Can we do this in private...?" Fanny's eyes were looking somewhere away from his. Her heart quickly beating as if it was racing fast on a race track.

It was like in the summer party. Fanny had tripped but thankfully Saber was there to catch her. If he hadn't fallen with her towards to the ground and created a kiss, the summer party would have been great for Fanny. The images of their lips crashing onto one another haunted the female assassin and became her nightmare for a month. She couldn't go on a mission with him or even talk to anyone. Saber couldn't face her either after that accident or get out of his laboratory. He would either get teased by Bruno or Alpha, so he decided to dwell in the darkness and secretly went on solo missions.

"Oh? You want to do it with me in private?" Saber was obviously playing with her. But Fanny couldn't tell since she was panicking at the moment. No longer feeling the cold atmosphere that made her shiver. She was instead feeling like being inside the fireplace. Saber-being the fire that was making her skin go hot. "Haha! What thing? Do you mean that thing? And I don't want to do-"
Saber grabbed one of her arms and pulled her up with him before she could finish her sentence. "I never thought that you'd think I would mark you, Fanny. Have you been to the dark side with Lolita?" He asked. Looking at the flustered assassin in front of him. "Ha! You've misunderstood! I'm not thinking about that thing! And Lolita and I will never dare enter the dark side." She answered him quickly that her words almost sounded like a blur. Fanny was too embarrassed to face and act normally in front of him. If he wasn't quite playful, she would have never act like this in front of anyone. "Why can't you say kiss? Too afraid?" He grinned like a sly fox. "Don't tell me you like me." Fanny blurted out. Gathering all of her courage to try to spat back his words at him. "What if I do?" One of Saber's arm slithered around her waist. Pulling her closer to him. Fanny went speechless, unable to say anything any longer.

She just looked away, looking more flustered than ever. Saber let a snicker out of his lips. "I thought so." He tipped her chin by using his free hand and pressed his lips against her.

The others went to another room to give the two some private space. Natalia and Tigreal went outside to visit the Fighter's cabin. Everything felt more like Valentine's day than Christmas. Almost nearly everyone was paired up into two. "Hey, I'm sorry for pushing you away." Natalia apologized to Tigreal for the 24th time. She was always so busy in finishing her missions that she forgot to spend time with Tigreal who would either stalk or track her down. "It's fine, my love." The knight spoke gently. Pressing his lips to her forehead to give her a kiss. Natalia couldn't help but let out a giggle. Gently holding both of his warm hands. "Let's go inside the cabin. I don't want you to catch a cold." She said as she grabbed the door's knob. Twisting it and pushed it forward to open the door. "Look! It's Natig!" Freya announced. Waving both at the two with a cheeky grin. "Look! She's still single." Moskov suddenly spoke out of the blue. He had just gotten out of the Ice Lake with Helcurt thanks to Zhask. Now the salt king is here to take the spotlight and roast everyone. "Why did you let that guy out?!" Freya whispered to Zhask who was standing right beside her. "I wanted to show Argus how more powerful I am than him." He answered loud and proudly that it made Argue roll his eyes. "Phft. Obviously, I am more powerful than you since you're just a pathetic mage that bangs airplanes!" Argus harshly spoke. Wanting to make his demonic sword appear and have a fight with Zhask. But unfortunately, they are not able to make their weapons appear because a certain someone is preventing them. "Damn, I taught you well." Moskov grinned, patting Argus on the back. "Haha! I bet that puny mage can't roast me back!" The fallen war angel let out a laugh.

"Oh, please. We all know it's truly Zhargus. Or is it Rafargus or Argeya?" Alucard spoke up. Not realizing that he shouldn't have gotten himself involved. Argus turned around to face the young demon hunter. Crossing his arms. "That's a lot coming from a guy that gets paired up with a lot of people. Here's a list of it: Aluby, Alulong, Rafalu, Aluber, Aluyla,
Alestes, Aluya, Aloger-"
"Yes! I get it! I'm the guy with the most ships!" Alucard interrupted Argus before he could continue adding more. The demon Huntsman seriously wanted to fight this guy. Alucard would obviously win against Argus even if did use his ulti. "It's okay Alucard! It's not like I'm your first lover or anything..." Ruby wrapped her arms around Alucard. Tears beginning to form in the corners of her eyes. She sounded so heartbroken.

The demon Huntsman began to panic. Wrapping his arms around her tiny waist to return the hug. "No! Don't cry. I haven't dated anyone except for you Ruby! I will never cheat on you." Alucard said softly. Picking Ruby up into the air as if she was light as a feather. He leaned his face close to hers and gave her a gentle peck on the lips.

Ruby's cheeks reddened like roses. She can't help but feel excited every time Alucard kisses her lips. Alucard let out a soft chuckle out of his lips, placing the little wolf huntress on to the ground. "So adorable and short." He teased with a playful smile on his charming face. Ruby's eyes widened. She didn't like being called short. She tried everything to get herself tall, but it wasn't working out. The little wolf huntress fumed cutely. Pointing at Alucard with one of her hands. "You're just taller than me! Don't call me short!" Ruby said. Looking so defiant with a confident voice. It made Alucard laugh for a short moment before deciding to nuzzle her nose with his. "So small like a bean!" He continued to tease her.

Since Ruby couldn't handle the teasing any longer. She decided to violate the rules and made her scythe appear. "I'm gonna slice you to pieces!" She suddenly swung her weapon at the demon Huntsman without a second thought. Alucard immediately dodged the attack. The coat and shirt that he's wearing getting sliced into halves while he dodged the scythe. It quickly fell off his body. Revealing his bare chest. He looked like a sexy model. No wonder he keeps his body fully covered.

The little wolf huntress' red cheeks turned even redder after seeing Alucard's half-naked body. She made her scythe disappear and quickly apologize. "So sorry! I got out of hand! I'm gonna find clothes for you!" Ruby quickly spoke. She was about to go somewhere until Alucard grabbed her by the hand. "I'm fine! It's my fault for teasing you." He spoke softly. Pulling her closer until her body crashed against his. Ruby felt his strong chest against her face. He felt so warm against her skin. It was not too long that she fell speechless.

"Ruby? You still there?" Alucard gently shook her since she wasn't responding. Ruby slowly snapped back into reality. Quickly pulling herself away from him. "I-I'm sorry! I was thinking...about something." She finally answered. Her cheeks still bright red. Making her look so adorable. Alucard gently pinched both of her cheeks, letting out a charming laugh. "You're such a cutie! I'll just go to my room and grab some clothes." He said. Letting go of her cheeks and walked towards to where his room was inside the cabin.

Meanwhile, Freya punched Argus on the arm. Receiving a groan of pain from him. "What was that for?!" He glanced at her. Rubbing his arm that got punched by the Goddess of War. "May God excuse me for my language. I punched you because you were being an ass!" She hissed at him. If only her weapon was around. She would have smacked his face with her large shield to knock him out. "Thank you for the compliment, Goddess. Good luck in finding yourself a lover!" Argus bitterly spoke. Getting a smack on the head from a familiar staff. "Taste my Holy Staff!" Rafaela spoke loudly from behind. Smacking Argus on the head again.

He groaned in pain. Holding the staff by the handle before Rafaela could smack him again. "Why do you have your weapon?!" Argus glanced at the fair angel who glanced back at him with cold, blue eyes. "I've been granted permission to smack you." She spoke without mercy. It made her look terrifying for a sweet looking angel. Argus couldn't help but gulp, hanging his head slightly. "Sorry, dear. I won't longer be an ass..." He grumbled. Letting go of the handle of Rafaela's staff. He couldn't fight her since she's his lover. Freya would kill him if he dares hurt her best friend. Or Rafaela would give him a hundred smacks on the face. It's more painful than you think it is. "That's a good angel! Now be good to everyone." Rafaela went back to her cheerful and friendly attitude. Gently patting Argus on the head before going over to Minotaur for a small chat.

After a while. Everyone heard a loud boom that sounded like multiple gunshots. Some of them decided to go outside their cabins to take a look at what's happening outside. Fireworks were being created early. It isn't even 12:00 A.M, yet there are fireworks in broad daylight.

"That's one nice show of fireworks, Har." Cyclops said to the magician who was standing beside him while holding one of his hands. "I'm not doing that. All though I'm one of the people responsible for lighting up the fireworks later." Harley replied. Watching as the fireworks flew towards to the sky one by one. All large and beautiful in their own ways. Showing off their vibrant colors. But one, in particular, flew up and then rushed back down. Instead of blowing up mid-air. It blew up in the nearby forest. Causing a fire.

Even though it was snowing. The ones who witnessed the fireworks quickly ran towards to the fire to immediately put it out. The fire spread violently. It wasn't normal. It was a spell. And inside the fire was a shadowy figure of a person.
