Overview

"Christmas" is the twenty-fifth chapter and thirtieth overall chapter in Project X Zone 2. This is the second of the two Resonance of Fate themed chapters.

Synopsis

The other group was checking out the gate, but didn't go into The World like last time. Just then, Vergil detects movement from the church, and while they lost the chance to jump them, Ulala switches on a Space Parabolic Mic with her and listened in on Dokugozu and Dokumezu's conversation outside. It seems they were carrying fragments around the chains, but they notice the Dragonturtle.

Flynn suggests launching an attack before they're surrounded. They decide to get the others ready to fight, but then Ciseaux arrives and says the same thing about the shards as well. He's joined with Ouma, but Vashyron suddenly gets an idea and has Zephyr help him out. He plans to make them give the shards to them...as a present. They step out and change into reindeer costumes and manage to convince the French rabbit to hand over the shards, but as they fill their box with them...Vashyron slips and spreads them out all over the garden.

After that, they blew their cover and signaled the others to arrive. Dokugozu mentioned they only have 10 minutes before they disappear, so they decide to get their presents before time is up. The trio call for reinforcements before beginning the fight.

Dokurobo shows up from the eastern gate, and he brought some of the locals with him. If he's appearing now, then the other team is having problems as well so they decide to clean up fast. The Prelude is damaged severely, and mentions about their forces spread thin.

As they continued, the gold chains disappeared. Saya appears and intends to take them down. She then calls some new recruits, ones made from the chain's power. However, Phoenix has other ideas. He mentions about Dokugozu claiming the shards would disappear if separate for too long, and why would they go to the trouble of cleaning them up. They originally were thought to be where their new monsters were buried, but it they were generated by something else, they have a secondary purpose; all connected to whatever is forming the shards, and that is the real reason behind Ouma's salvage operation!

The pieces were falling into place, remembering Aya-me's words and the 101 shards they were collecting. Saya decides to make them scarce before they reveal their plan. Dokugozu drops out after defeat. Dokumezu bows out after another beating. Dokurobo, furious at his defeat, retreats in a huff.

After all the presents are collected, they keep them in a single box so Urashima can analyze them later.

Saya retreats, but some are wondering what she meant by "endgame".

After the first group arrives with the statues, they trade info on each others' situations. Afterwards, they mentioned Saya ran off into the church but the portal closed behind them. Urashima chimes up and says that the vehicle has rift-interference devices for this sort of situation. She activates the Dimension Dive and drives straight into the church through the portal.

Strategy: Spread out to collect the presents while battling enemies. Use any movement or ZOC skills to get to the presents before the 10th turn is up.

Trivia

• The title Christmas has a lot of meaning to Resonance of Fate (besides the fact that Christmas is on the 25th of December): 1. One of their missions was dressing up as reindeer (with Leanne as Santa Claus) and toss out presents to some of the partygoers. 2. Leanne's attempted suicide was failed by Zephyr as he swung to save her as the clock struck midnight on Christmas morning.
