The Gathering of Heroes to Search for the Vampire Clan

Barney turned and ducked farther into the helicopter. He didn't want to discuss anything more about the woman named Lacy with Christmas.

Just as Christmas was about to ignore everyone's disdainful looks and spend a little more time being lovey-dovey with his girlfriend, Ivan, wearing his Mech Armor, flew over from the distance.

As he approached the helicopter, Ivan's armor suddenly opened and launched him into the cabin. The terrifying, sinister-looking Mech Armor then flew alongside the helicopter like a wingman, keeping pace with its left side about fifty meters away.

Unfortunately, Christmas was in Ivan's flight path. Ivan bumped into him, and Christmas's phone fell out of the helicopter.

When Christmas glared at him murderously, Ivan tilted his head and ran a hand through his greasy, shoulder-length hair. "Don't take it personally. I can make it up to you!

How about I tattoo a 'hat' on that bald head of yours?"

As he spoke, Ivan demonstrated with his hands. "I could make it look like a spiderweb, then tattoo a spider next to your ear.

It'll scare away all those annoying flies, and then you can pretend you can't hear people badmouthing your girlfriend..."

Christmas thrust out his Popeye-style jaw and raised both middle fingers at Ivan. "You assholes are just jealous of me...

Don't treat me like an idiot..."

Christmas craned his neck and drew a knife from his waist
