[65]Christmas Drama

"sooo what are you doing?" Otto suddenly asked Alex who was working on her computer, sitting on the couch in the living room of the cabin.

"Science stuff. I'm sure it'll bore you" she rolled her eyes, feeling that It was a topic too boring for someone as handsome as Otto.

"Haha, it wouldn't bore me at all, infact I'm a doctor" Otto suddenly revealed, surprising Alex.

Otto didn't seem old enough to have one as it would take years to obtain a PhD unless you were some sort of super genius.

"Really? In what?" Asked Alex, curious as to what he was a doctor in.

Otto reached behind the clutch, taking out a binder.

As he opened it he revealed a multitude of papers.

"Well I have a PhD in Biology, chemistry, Astrophysics, engineering-" Otto continued to show his PhD to her, shocking Alex to the core.

Why? Becuase they were real!

What she didn't know was that they were indeed real, but they were obtained by Otto through a series of manipulation.

He had Gasper alter some of the universities files so that he wouldn't look like he came out of nowhere if someone decided to look into him.

Otto also mentally manipulated some people so that he could recieve genuine PhD diplomas.

Of course Otto could obtain them without a hitch if he really wanted to, but he didn't have the time nor the drive to get an actual degree, altough it would be more like a speed run for him.

He alone could make the professors at some of the most prestigious universities feel like their stupid.

"Wow-" Alex sat there dumbly as she looked at the multitude of degress.

"See? The science talk won't be so boring to me~" said Otto in a singing tone.

Alex and Otto continued to talk, Ignoring the drama that was going through the house.

Jay and Claire had a fight, Many and Luke where trying to scare lily, Andy and Hailey were having an affair.

Of course even without Otto and Alex, thing resolved themselves...well mostly.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!" A scream suddenly spooked everyone in the house,

Everyone immediately rushed toward her location.

"The forgotten boy-i heard him" Lily said with a voice filled with nervousness and fear, her eyes never leaving the door the nose was coming from.

"Of course he is. All right, let's get him out, huh?" Phil said with a chuckle, thinking that it was just her imagination.

As he reached out to the door nob, he couldn't open it.

"Huh?, well that's weird"

"Don't worry I got it" Otto suddenly came out of nowhere. Lifting his hand, he choped down and knocked the doorknob of the door.

"Huh, I guess that's one way to do it" cam said, him fully impressed.

The door swung open, revealing Haley and Andy fixing their clothes, pretending like their weren't doing the dirty juts a second ago.

"Oh, god" Claire looked away, embarrassed creeped up her face as she saw her daughter half naked.

"Andy, take off the blazer" spoke Phil, his voice full with betrayal.

Everyone in the room say there quietly, not a person making a single move or noise.

Well except one person, Otto was currently on the piano playing some soft melodies.

Alex, deciding that she had better stuff to do, stood up and waked to Otto's side.

"Your sister is quite the disaster, huh?" Otto spoke with a light chuckle, his hands never stoped playing.

"Well, we're a lot of things" she said with a wry smile.

"Well positivity is a lot of things, your family might be lacking a bit if it right now but I'm sure you'll all find out a way to fix it" spoke Otto, reassuring her with a smile.

Alex only gave a deep sigh "I hope you're right"

"Well there's only one way to find out" Otto hands began to move on the piano once again, this time the song being a Christmas classic.

---

"What do we do now?" Asked Cam as he nervously walked around the room.

"We wait until the whole Haley/Andy blows over" Mitch recommend with a tired sigh.

"Silent Night, Holy night" both cam and Mitch suddenly heard two sweet voices singing together.

"What the hell is that?" Asked Cam.

They both walked out their room and into the living room, finding both Alex and Otto singing the song they wanted to perform this Christmas.

They were both surrounded by the whole family as they sing, painting a sweet scene.

"Son of a bitch!" Cam said, seeing his time for redemption from last Christmases performance being taken away.

As both Alex and Otto finished the song, everyone claped their hands.

"See, positivity" Otto looked at Alex with a smirk, seeing how his method worked in fixing the mood.

"Well I didn't know you could sing Otto" Phil pat the 'butlers' shoulder, obviously impressed by his singing.

"Well I'm sure that your family doesn't know a lot about you neither, Slash Dog?" Otto suddenly replied.

"Slash Dog?" Alex said in confusion.

Phil who had a smile on his face, suddenly turned cold.

This shocked most of the people in the room, they never knew Phil could make an expression like that considering he's basically known for being goofy and happiness incarnate.

Reaching into his coat, he pulled out a beautifully decorated gun.

He pointed it at Otto who was sitting on the piano stool next to Alex and pulled the trigger.

"Dad, no!!" Alex's heart droped as she saw her father pull the trigger.

For everyone, they expected to see Otto dead on the floor. But no, he sat there casually on the stool. The bullet caught in between his two fingers.

"A holy bullet? I didn't think you would use a weapon as weak as this" Otto remarked.

"Tch" Phil clicked his tongue.

"Sweetie get away from him!" Phil shouted,

"What? You juts shot at him, you should be the one backing off" Alex retorted, forgetting the fact that Otto caught the bullet itself.

Not someone a normal human can do.

Phil's shadow extended, a dark figure junked out of it in the form of a dark wolf with a dark blade in its mouth.

"What the fuck?!" Cam and Mitch shouted as they watched the amateur magician perform one of the greatest tricks they had both ever seen, if it even was a trick to begin with.

"There it is, Canis Lykaon" Otto said with a smirk

"Who are you and what do you want with me?!" Phil demanded answers as a dark blade formed in his hands, just the same as the one the wolf had on its mouth.

"Fufufuf no need to be so defensive Phil~"

"It's Mr. Dunphy for you" Phil said, ready to slash Otto's head the moment he went for anyone in his family.

"I just came to tell you that it's time to choose"

"Choose?" Asked Phil with confusion.

"Yes, choose. You need a to choose a side Phil. The world is going to change soon, and the change will be something that will affect everyone. Including your family." Otto's last words seems to have hit a nerve as Phil's grip on his shadow sword tightened.

"The world is changing Phil, and I recommend you get ready to change along with it. It's time to come out of retirement, Slash Dog" with those final words, Otto disappeared as he was consumed by a purple fog.

A fog Phil was familiar with, Dimension Lost.

"So he's a Longinus user to, huh?" Muttered Phil under his breath, forgetting that his family had seen the whole thing.

He basically couldn't recover from this and now needed to tell them everything.

The most shocked person in the room right now was Alex, as they guy she began to like had just been sucked up by some weird fog.

She could only stare blankly at the card he left behind containing the Shicksal logo and his phone number.

"Why not juts take it?" Asked Rita besides Otto, they were both at a distance looking at the cabin that was being inhabited by the Dunphy's and prirchet's.

"Because he's the perfect user for it, and becuase he's a man that is willing to do anything as long as he can protect those he care about" Otto responded.

"Ah!" Rita's eyes widened as she realized why Otto didn't just harvest the sacred gear off Phil.

It was becuase he was a man Otto respected, a man juts like himself.

Juts like Otto, Phil was a person that would go to great lengths to protect those who he loved.

And how Otto has his villain persona reserved for his enemies and his happy silly personality for his loved ones, so did Phil.

He had his cold hearted assassin persona for his target's, and a goofy and silly father for his family.

The only difference was that one person has the ability to protect his family from the upcoming disasters that are to come, while the other one can't.

That's why Otto was so sure Phil will call him in the future, because the living catastrophies will shake Phil to his core, leaving him no other choice but to look to Otto for his families protection.

A perfect pawn for Otto to control without lifting a finger.

"Let's go, we have much to do" Otto spoke as he finished the entry on his computer.

Almost everything was set, he only needed things to take course by themselves.

Rita nodded as she warped them both back home.
