Joy to The World! A Child is born!
Somewhere in the countryside of the Wonderful nation of Vegana a figure was seen pacing in front of a small building, a stable.
Outside the small stable a man walked to and through looking nervous. His wife had suddenly begun to feel sick and he really didn't like the thought of her loosing the baby. He looked around the place, so far everything seemed calm. The night was humid and quite warm and the silence was broken to and through by a cikada chirping somewhere. Youssuf felt a Breeze cooling down his sweaty skin and the wet shirt he had became unstuck to his chest as the wind swept over him. He looked up on the nightsky, gazing at the many stars when suddenly it looked like a star moved and then something very strange ahappened. A new brightly shining star was born, shining stronger than any star he had ever seen, and it seemed to be right over him. Youssuf looked up in amazement and then he heard the cry from inside the stable. He looked up once more in wonder and then hurried in to his wife.

Then it was that three wise men of Dyelli Beybi (IQs of 100, 98 and 76) didst see the star and didst say 'lo, for somewhere over there there art a big glowy thing, let us set forth and bring gifts to him who isst under it' and they didst bring forth gifts of gold, francinsense and AK-47 assault rifles.

The Veganian customers officer looked sceptically on the three strangely dressed men that stood before him.
"Name, occupation and reason of visit?" He said as he glared at the three mens bulky luggage. Behind him his colleagues already had pushed the alarmbutton alerting the security.
-----------------------------------
Youssuf ran into his wife and could clearly see that she was in labour. The thought flew through his head, what could he do? What could he say? He kicked away the annoying critters that seemed to have assembled around his wife.
"Mariah? Are you allright?" Youssuf pushad away a donkey that stood over his wife, a donkey?! Where the fuck did all the animals come from? Youssuf frantically looked around for water, he must cook some water or get something else that was properly desinfected. Youssuf kicked a hen out of his way as he ran to a water tap and begun to fill up a bucket of water.
Dry towels?, was there anything he could use as towels? He wished he had watched that episode of McGyver where he delivered a child. Oh Shit! Here we go
King Harold was sitting on his throne, watching a re-run of McGuyver. The hero was delivering a baby, or something like that. Suddenly, three not so wise looking men burst into his throne room. "Where is the little kiddie who is king of the Jews?" one of them asked.
"What king?" Herod asked. He was too lazy to go and look up something in scripture, but instead decided to carpet bomb all of Israel. Or, he thought, he could just get the Arabs to do it...
Youssuf had enough wits to work out how to use the generator in the stable. Light were better now and he could see his wife lying in the hay, sweating and in pain. He had found some dry and pretty clean cloth, so he bent near her and whispered in her ear:
"It'll be ok darling, just breath, it'll be ok"
Mariah grabbed his hand hard enough to break the bones in it and started to breath heavily. Youssuf looked down and he could see the baby's head , he used his free hand to rearrrange the cloth and kissed his wifes forhead.
And it came to pass, that in those days there went out a decree from Jaar, that the whole world should be enrolled.
This enrolling was first made by Cyrinus, a Veganian governor.
And everywhere his officers went to do the census, every one into his own city.
Sam Shephard, police Kommisar, got the alarm of a breaking and entering on a biological test farm seventeen miles south west of Krokom, a medium sized city in Vegana with almost 4 million inhabitants. He brought two hovers and 8 officers and went out to the farm. On the way they looked at the new star in amazement, Shephard knew what it was, but the populous shouldn't know too much he thought as they sped through the night towards the farm.

Crucify!
Crucify!
Seeing his wife in pain Youssuf felt great despair, he checked his pockets and found the needles. He knew that the needles would remove the pain, he wasn't sure if the drug would harm the baby, but he couldn't take her pain. He picked up the syringe and injected her.
Mariah was sweating, she was in pain, if only the pain could go away, She could feel the baby move within her. She screamed and she felt her beloveds hand in hers and she also felt a vague sting in her arm. She felt the warmth spreading in her body, she could vaguely hear Youssuf as he spoke to her. The pain slowly drifted away as the warmth spread and the hay on which she lay somehow felt softer and less itchy. It was as she drifted away that she saw the shape, the shape hovering above her, talking to her, touching her, making her feel allright, making her feel good.

And now with the right nation...
Watching the night sky made the people happy. Especially today. A new star... they didn`t know it had been EOTED satellites, nor did they really care.
It was just, beautiful, any many of the old, wise man in the villages and smaller cities said it was a sign... a sign that a new age was about to begin, a sign that their saviour was coming...
Many prayed, and many had tears of joy on their faced, celebrating this great day...
For god is great, and his prophet had finally come!

Mariah was still sweating but now she felt better, she could actually feel the colours around her and there was a lot of colours around her. She saw a donkey standing beside the shape asking her if she wanted honey in her tea. Then suddenly the colours started to speak to her, they whispered and then fled into the SHAPE. They shape spoke:
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Fear not, Mariah, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Iesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne and of his kingdom there shall be no end."
Mariah cried with joy, she tried to cry with her eyes shut though because she didn't want the wasps and the fluttering pink butterflies that lived in the walls to get to them. Everything went in slow motion and then it was like everything just stopped. She could hear Youssuf say:
"Mariah! It's a boy"

Good Lord, Holmes! You've solved the case!
From Famicon, three wise men set out to Vegena as well, spreading the word of the Northmen gods Othar and Halla Magli. They brought with them three gifts; a Sako TRG-42 sniper rifle, an FN Minimi Para machine gun and a Remington 11-87 Police shotgun, and they intended to use it.
Björn Ericsson, the Veganian customs officer looked sceptically at the line of people requesting Visas to Vegana. How come trouble always seems to come in threes?
"Name, occupation and reason of visit?" He said as he glared at the three mens bulky luggage. Behind him his colleagues already had pushed the alarmbutton alerting the security.
He had had a very bad day. Since that strange light phenomena had arrived in the sky, travellers seemed to have gone haywire. People were trying to smuggle ochra, spices, gold, narcotics, one guy even tried to pass a camel as his grandmother. He looked at his desk where the application lay, Occupation: Wise man, Reason of visit?: To pay homage to the son of God.
Great lord, the only nation none had come from yet was Iesus Christi, on the other hand, wise men were scarce in Iesus Christi, being the 27:th dumbest nation in the NS world. And then there was the REAL nutcases. The kind that stood before him now. Three men clad in Burkhas, with large rifleshaped luggages. He pointed at the men as 5 huge security men walked towards them.
"Sirs, you will have to wait in one of our allies facilities while we check your credentials. We have booked a room at the Archangel Spa Resort in Iesus Christi. I hope you will enjoy your stay."

"Our names are Couscous, Falafel and Hummus" the first man said, his turban bobbing eraically as he spoke, "We are professional wise men for the Church of Dyelli Beybi, we are here following the Star in the sky in order to bring gifts to the newborn King."
The others nodded their agreement. They did not seem to think this was particularly unusual.

Björn Ericsson Sighed, this cultural exchange was getting a bit out of hand. Newborn king, that sounded treasonous, and professional wise guys he was sure he had heard that term regarding organized Crime.
"Well mr. CousCous, Falafel and Hummus, please step this way and your transit plane to the newborn king will take you straight to your destination."
Sam Shephard stepped out of his Hovervehicle and looked around in the humid night. The strange light phenomena seemed to be right over the farm, shining down upon the houses. He signalled to his men to dismount, the men checked their guns and equipment as they started to walk the trail down towards the houses.
Mariah and Youssuf wept in joy as they saw their firstborn son. They never heard the sounds of engines shutting off a few hundred yards away. They just were looking at the little boy, with stars for eyes, looking wideeyed upon his parents.
In related news, Sketchian hospitals reord a record number of babies born in one day - six hundred and sixty six.
Ha! Take that oh child of "God"! :P
In other words...tag
(Sam Shephard signalled to his men that there had been a break-in, there were animals everywhere roaming about in the yard. He could hear voices from inside, Squatters!, He hated them, loitering around the countryside, stealing, looting and raping. He would show these that they should treat other peoples property with respect.
He signaled to his men, flash-bang grenades, two, on his mark... He counted to five checked so that the closest ones were in position and gave the signal. The grenades were tossed into the room and the men outside prepared for the impact.
It was a great flash and the stench of magnesium and sulphur, the men went into the stable, firing rubber bullets at anything moving inside.)
==> Stand by for alternative ending
(As the bright shining iron filings were cleaned up by friendly Sentient People crafts the star shined weaker and weaker until it faded away together with the life of a new born baby hit by a rubberbullet.
In the stable the kommissaar ordered a suspect suspect Youssuf Al Chalabu to be shot for drug possession and after checking his barcode finding 40 more indication of drug related crime activity he sentenced the female junkie to be shot as well for association Crime.
The two hovercrafts left the stable and two newly digged mounds behind them in the soft humid summer night. The star were brightly shining in the dark sky twinkling together with passing satelites and far away the StreiteKräfte.)
Stand by for the alternate ending
OOC: Awwwww. This thread was funny up 'til the end. What a cop-out!! Everything was going strangely by the book (pun alert!) and then went strangely not by the book. I thought it was extremely imaginative until that last bit.

Sorry for the abrubt ending. I may add an alternative ending later on :wink: (just like in Hollywood)
Felt like I needed to end it quick since I haven't got much time for NS right now.
Then it was that three wise men of Dyelli Beybi (IQs of 100, 98 and 76) didst see the star and didst say 'lo, for somewhere over there there art a big glowy thing, let us set forth and bring gifts to him who isst under it' and they didst bring forth gifts of gold, francinsense and AK-47 assault rifles.
ARE YOU NUTS, anyways i dont blame you gave them IQ of below average since average is 140

Thank you very much Couscous said, following the man in the uniform. The other wise men followed him, discussing something about putting a turnip through the eye of a needle.

He grinned.
"That will show them what Christmas means... i hope our present doesn`t ruin their christmas celebrations."
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
There's music in the air
The sleigh bells are ringin' and the carolers are singin'
While the air raid sirens blare
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That this is not a test
Everywhere the atom bombs are droppin'
It's the end of all humanity
No more time for last minute shoppin'
It's time to face your final destiny
Well, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
There's panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath a mushroom cloud
{siren}
You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone's climbin' down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill
Oh, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
And if the radiation level's okay
I'll go out with you and see the all new
Mutations on New Year's Day
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
Just seconds left to go
I'll duck and cover with my yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
Now the missiles are on their way
What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday
What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday
Listening to the music, he gently touched the nuke that was about to be strapped to his 'Satan Claus'. He laughed evilly.
This time, it wont be New Years eve when the fireworks begin.
Embracing the joy his work gave him, he went home, whistling.
[/not serious]
The three men jumped out through the window, running for cover as they fired their guns. They couldn't understand how on earth the law had arrived this early, and how the hell they knew they were hiding here. Vittorio, Samuel and Mario had been Wise Guys since more than fifteen years but this was their first shootout with the police. They ran towards the barn, their pocket swollen with loot.

Meanwhile, the real Santa reads the daily news with interest and amusement, while doing...ahem...some business...
http://www.miami.com/images/miami/miamiherald/7235/52351040940.jpg
This is Margaret Lieber with HNN News:
Her Excelleny, Maire Haru was rushed to St. Jude Hospital this evening to be treated for minor injuries incurred while reading "Joy to the World..A Saviour's Born" by the Most Benovolent Jarr of Vegana. According to our sources, Her Excellency was found on the floor of her office. Apparently she had fallen off her chair from laughing so hard.
Dr. Engleme released a statement to the effect that Maire Haru did not receive serious injuries but that he is keeping her under close observation. Hospital employees have said that "it is good to hear the First Lady laugh." and "tis the season, ya know. Good cheer to all...".
In other news, David Smith was arrested at his suburban home otside of Calis. He has been charged with crimes against the State. Mr. Smith, a postal worker, and father of five children claims he is innocent of all charges.
<<vid clip of five surly looking children ranging in ages between 12 and 2 outside a well kept two story house. A middle aged woman is seen in the backround sobing softly.>>
"Daddy told us to sit down and write our letters to Santa so we did," pipes up little Mary Elizabeth, 8 years old. "We told Santa that we were confused...why does he bring gifts to SATO children as well as us? Aren't they bad children?"
"Daddy read the letters and said that Santa cares about all children even those SATO tykes; that we must pray for them," a young boy of about 10 adds.
"About an hour later the police came and took Daddy away."
<<end vid clip>>
Mr. Smith is being held in St. Michael's prison in downtown Calis. More arrests are expected.
