Summary[]
Part 1[]
It is December 23 (which is the day before Christmas Eve) and Chapa is in the Man's Nest getting hyped and ready for the Christmas holidays, but sees that the others are not doing anything to help. Chapa is disappointed and tells them that she is very obsessed with Christmas. The others are not. Ray arrives with a book of stories to confront Danger Force with: "The True Story of Christmas". He tells them that not that many years ago, Father Time and Mother Nature got married and had two children: Santa Claus and Krampus. Santa was the favorite child, but Krampus was not. Krampus once stole his father's car to go to a concert, so as punishment, Father Time gave Santa the jet ski instead of Krampus. Krampus hated that, since jet skis were one of his favorite things. Krampus went into exile in San Bernardino. As revenge, Krampus wanted to turn everyone into 'Dilweeds' and 'Krampons'. Before he could, Krampus and Santa had an epic battle, where Santa managed to stop his brother by locking him up in Punk Function. Krampus is still locked in there to this day. Ray finishes telling the story with Schwoz playing the guitar in the background. Miles does not believe the story so Ray scares Miles. Later, on Christmas Eve, Schwoz arrives and throws a Christmas bomb, decorating the entire Man's Nest in Christmas stuff. Schwoz reveals that he knows Santa and takes Bose, Mika and Miles to see the injector of the sled. Schwoz explains that he tunes up Santa's sled every year but hates the reindeer. Ray and Chapa notice the alarm for an incoming object going off but look outside and see nothing arriving. They initiate PANTS protocol, so Chapa goes outside and shoots into the sky. They see that she hit something, and it falls from the sky. It is Santa. Ray realizes that Santa being shot down out of the sky releases Krampus from Punk Function.
Schwoz and the others come back and see that Ray and Chapa are acting strange. They reveal that they accidentally shot Santa down from the sky. They explain that when Chapa hit Santa with her electricity bolts, it caused Santa to temporarily lose his memory. They had to keep Santa locked up so he wouldn't wonder off with amnesia, but as they explain this, Santa has wandered off. They listen to the sound of rock music getting closer and closer, and they notice that Krampus is free. They realize Krampus is now looking for his brother for revenge. In order to protect Santa's location, they fight Krampus. However, Bose accidentally reveals to Krampus that Santa left the Man's Nest. Krampus gives Bose a fist bump in thanks, but it turns Bose into a Dilweed. A Dilweed is what a person turns into when Krampus touches them, making them appear pale-ish, like a zombie, and changing their clothes to a more rebellious look. Krampus declares he will find his brother, then destroy Christmas. Krampus teleports to find his brother and they all decide to go find Santa before it's too late. Meanwhile, Schwoz tries to repair the sleigh and turn Bose back to normal.
In the KLVY studio, Trent and Mary interview Percy and Miriam, who have found Santa and placed him safely in a bag. Ray and Chapa arrive in time to save Santa, but Krampus teleports in the KLVY studio. On live TV, Krampus says that he will destroy Christmas forever. He turns Mary, Percy, Miriam, and Trent into Dilweeds. Chapa shoots Krampus and Krampus falls to the ground, but it merely stalls them. The Dilweeds dance as Captain Man escapes with Santa.
Part 2[]
ShoutOut and AWOL arrive at Hip Hop Puree to find a bunch of people dressed as Santa Claus. Fran prevents them from entering unless they are dressed like Father Christmas. Back at the Man's nest, Schwoz finally turns Bose back into his normal self after singing a Christmas song and giving him a present. This is part of what can cure a Dilweed. Captain Man and Volt return to the Man's Nest with the bag of presents lying that they took Krampus down. Back at Hip Hop Puree, ShoutOut and AWOL find Santa Claus as a D.J. ShoutOut and AWOL take him back to the Man's Nest, but it is too late because Krampus has arrived at the store. ShoutOut then blows off Krampus's Clothes. AWOL teleports Santa away and ShoutOut runs away. AWOL returns to the Man's nest with Santa while Captain Man is playing with a Jet Ski. Captain Man plans to take the Jet Ski to lake Swellview. Krampus leaves a balloon at the Man's nest saying, "Party Time". Krampus returns to the Man's Nest with Santa and the bag of presents and leaves Volt, Bose and Schwoz tied up in a Christmas Bag. He then teleports away.
Schwoz is examining the situation when he finds KLVY taken over by Krampus. But things get worse when Krampus is teleporting all over the world to turn people into Dillweed's. Captain Man returns from Lake Swellview after finding out it is frozen. Volt then finds out that Krampus took Santa to San Bernardino store. Danger Force teleports into the store, Punk Function, to find Krampus and Santa. Krampus then states that he has more power than Danger Force on his own turf, because after all, he spent years trapped in there. Santa is refusing to be untied because he doesn't know who Captain Man is. Krampus then starts to disable Danger Force's superpowers. Krampus tries to befriend AWOL but disables his teleportation.
Captain Man decides to fight Krampus himself, but Captain Man mentions his Jet Ski he got for Christmas. This makes Krampus upset because he was supposed to get a Jet Ski for Christmas once but never got one. He stated that if he had just gotten a Jet Ski for Christmas, he would never have hated Christmas in the first place. AWOL suggested that Captain Man should give Krampus's his jet ski. After rudely saying no, ShoutOut then persuades him to give up his 6th Jet Ski. This makes Krampus happy, and he is no longer a demon. Danger Force breaks free but remembers that Santa does not have his memory and Christmas Dillweed's are still in Swellview. Danger Force then takes Santa's Sleigh to deliver presents which turn the Christmas Dillweed's back into their normal self, ending the story. Krampus finally fulfilling his dream by riding his Jet Ski with Santa Claus (who still has amnesia) and Captain Man as the episode ends.
