Unknown Void
Greetings, friends! I'm happy to see
That all of you came to listen to me!
The Watchers are busy, what can I say?
So Wheelie will tell you the stories today
But the multiverse is vast, where to begin?
There are so many stories that we could dive in
Like the Stitchpunks, who witnessed their very first snow
If the twins could speak, they'd be screaming "Whoa!"
They couldn't go out, it was much too deep
Yet they were far too excited to go back to sleep
The Valley Girl Doctor put up quite the tree
And then went out on a festive shopping spree
Ben and Polly followed her, carrying her bags
An exhausting chore where they frequently lagged
But most of the gifts were for her two friends
It was quite a long list, they thought it'd never end!
Up in the north, the North Pole was in trouble
A snow monster arrived to turn it to rubble
It stomped on the workshop and left such a mess
Santa Claus had never felt such distress!
But before the monster could crush Santa's sleigh
Father of Ultra appeared, and drove it away!
For a daring rescue as smooth as silk
They gave him his weight in cookies and milk
"No thank you," said Father, "I don't need to eat"
"But how else can we thank you for such a feat?"
So they brought down his family-Mother, Ace, and Taro
And they partied all night and well into the morrow
Then Man came with Sanzan, then Seven with Zero
Then the North Pole was swarmed with Ultra heroes!
Franklin and Valeria finally settled on 857
Even if to them, it was hardly like Heaven
New York was their home, the Baxter Building too
And they had Sunday dinner with the rest of the crew
Reed and Sue were ecstatic by this appreciation
Johnny and Ben gladly joining in their elation
The former two still weren't "mom" and "dad"
But it was the biggest development they'd ever had
Momo made Jirou a custom guitar
Shaped like a dinosaur head going "rawr"
Jirou loved her gift, the reason why anyone could tell
But also because Momo had made it, as well
Izuku's ring jested that he had competition
He ignored it, lest he have a conniption
Uraraka had trouble finding perfect gifts
These were her friends, she couldn't just thrift
But they reassured her that it wasn't about stuff
That her just being there was more than enough
The Mysticons were sent this way and that
And by the end of it all they'd collapsed flat!
They went to the Beyonder fuming and huffing
He apologized half-heartedly, which was better than nothing
The JBs, like always, were in their Infinite Bed
But this time they were handing out presents instead
Next to Wasp, George felt his suit wouldn't hack it
So she gave him wings, and he became Yellowjacket
Together the two ruled the land and sky
Small or large, they didn't need to try
There was a party going on at Hazbin Hotel
Plenty attended, from both Heaven and Hell
Charlie, Charlotte, and others just like her
Stayed up awaiting Krampus by the fire
There were other festivities that were equally neat
Like all the lights and decorations in Sesame Street!
And there were so many lights, I'll tell you what
The mood in the Grim was anything but!
But there are those who would use the festive celebrations
As a distraction against their malicious machinations
Such was the case with the Furious Five
Who defended their world from a Broodling Hive
The bugs were thwarted by the heroes of China
Who had assistance in the form of Ultraman Dyna!
Strategist Megatron engaged his many plots
It was like an Advent Calendar, he had lots
But Wildcard Optimus, joined by her crew
Fouled up his schemes, like they usually do
The Dalek war machine never once slowed
As countless unprotected worlds got steamrolled
Master America still plots global domination
While Fury hopes to prevent such an occasion
One particular scheme, that defied all logic
Had a bunch of bears be given narcotics!
But just as villains had nefarious goals
So too were their heroes, to give them their coal
Spider-Man took out thugs who were handing out woes
And helped the Avengers fight an army of King Joes!
He was so busy he didn't get anything for Christmas Dinner
But he'd still made it on time, so he felt like a winner
The aforementioned Master is formidable, but won't win
He still has an enemy to battle within
And Doctors all over, Time Lord or Who
Easily foiled an evil plot or two!
There were plenty of folks under mistletoe
But I'm sure that fact you may already know!
Zonic and Brooke had a case of the snuggles
At the cost of their tasks, which were left in a muddle
T, O, and M still roam the stars
Seeking a new home, whether near or far
It was a slow path, one that felt like forever
But they didn't mind, so long as they were together
Doll fed on Lizzy-a little, not a lot
The blonde still found it incredibly hot
But Christmas isn't all festive cheer
It's also a gateway towards the New Year
So with the old year fast drawing to a close
May as well reflect on it, I suppose
Rock and Roll sat together to muse
About their father, their dog, and their big brother, Blues
Friends they'd made and had long since lost
And the home they'd defend, no matter the cost
The survivors of worlds lost to the antimatter waves
Refused to let those memories be lost in a haze
They kept them alive wherever they went
That love only fueling their merriment
Michael Afton kept his father contained
Torturing him time and time again
It hurt him too, and what a state he was in
But he felt he deserved it for all of his sins
Doctor Ten continued traveling with his party
Righting wrongs with Jess, Jen, and Marty
They could tell he had something for which to atone
And tried to reassure him he wasn't alone
Ben thought of his old friends on Earth-192
And wondering what they were going through
They didn't remember, but would sometimes think
That something-someone-important was missing
His new friends in the Skysurfers made him feel at home
He understood that with them, he need not roam
The Monks were weary, yet far from out
They weren't about to let life keep them down
They had what it takes to keep pulling through
Just like those they write about would do
They'd continue protecting the Multiverse
And immortalize it all within their words
Regardless of whatever's around the bend
I'm certain that we won't soon see an end
So from Gemina to Gotham to the Land of Light
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
