Christmas '22

"Christmas '22" is the first episode of DMD Adventures Season 2 and the 10th episode overall. It's also the first special episode of the series.

## Plot

The episode opens on the day of the Christmas Eve. Two kids finished building their snowman, but suddenly The Nightcrawler appears behind it and starts to do a creepy sound. The kids are begging the creature to not eat them, but a middle-aged man saves them by trapping the white thing in a bottle. One of the kids asks him if he is an angel sent to protect people, but the man is annoyed by this comparation, and proceeds to explain the kids that he doesn't serve God, but the Devil. He than uses a magic spell to brainwash the 2 kids.

As the night comes, Drake and his friends prepare for the Christmas. He tells Miles about the news he found: a satanic cult called "The Mad Demon" attempting to ruin the holiday (other news including Samuel Jackson becoming a weeb, an Indian fruit seller creating a flying bus and Putin discovering an adult film about himself). Miles tells Drake to not talk about satanists on Christmas's Eve, and instead he offers him to taste his grandma's schnitzels. Drake asks if after lunch they are gonna watch a movie, and is thankful to hear that it's gonna be the classic and obligatory Home Alone.

In the centre of the city stands with Christmas stuff have been organised, as well as the tree decorations and fake Santas on the street. Dahl and her new friend, AJ, sit and admire the city. AJ is impressed by the lights and tries to do a Bonus Stage reference, only for Dahl to complain about the show. AJ receives a call from a moustached man wearing a hood, who demands her to come to their ceremony. He also reminds her that Father Vitali, the organiser of the event, doesn't like to wait, and that he also wishes for her to bring a partner. AJ complains about this but the moustache guy tells her that he didnt't make the rules. Not knowing who to pick, AJ decides to take Dahl, telling her she wants to show her something.

Once they arrive at the place, AJ tells Dahl the thruth and how she has to wear a hood and dont speak. It is revealed that the 2 girls attend a satanist ceremony, and that AJ and the moustache guy are part of the Mad Demon cult. Scenes with satanist symbols on walls are shown, followed by the appearence of Father Vitali, who is revealed to be the man who helped the kids earlier in the episode. The priest greets his adepts and starts to rant about Christmas and about the ritual he made, which according to him, will bring the hoodies closer to their goals. Dahl decides to film the ceremony but is scolded by AJ. Dahl assures her that she will not be noticed, but drops her phone by accident. Vitali heard the sound and realises Dahl isn't one of his followers, thus ordering her capture.

At home, Drake and Miles are watching Home Alone and agree that the movie never gets old, even after they seen it 30 times. Drake is worried about his sister and Miles tries to calm him, saying that nothing bad can happen on Christmas's Eve. However, their TV is hacked by the satanists and plays a menacing message telling Drake that he needs to give them "something" in exchange for Dahl. Drake gets angry and yells that he will kill them. Miles tells him to not worry, as they will have no chance against his spade, but Drake decides that a cross would help better. At the satanist place, Dahl struggles to escape the hoodies, while AJ tells Vitali to punish her instead, but he ignores her and decides to test his ritual on Dahl. The spell caster starts reciting, but he is suddenly stabbed in the head by Miles's spade and dies instantly. Vitali taunts Drake about how is he going to pay for the stuff his friends did to his cult. Drake tells him he is going to give him his soul, but Miles convinces him to just take rid of their new enemies. Drake agrees and menaces them with the cross, to which a blue skinned hoodie replies with fear. Vitali than shoots a purple beam from his finger, which is redirected by Drake's cross to a shelf. The beam breaks the bottle where The Nightcrawler was caught and the entity captures the blue guy, allowing Miles to save Dahl.

The 3 friends exit the place and Drake scolds Dahl to stick with them from now on and not go in weird places. After some time the blue guy freed himself from the Nightcrawler's tentacle by using his blue magic, and the creature decides to leave them. The moustache guy asks Vitali what are they gonna do now, but he uses his finger to call AJ next to him, hypnothising her to find Drake and kill him, as revenge for ruining the ritual. AJ obeys his orders, becoming a new enemy to the main characters.
