Midsummer NiGHTopia [open, and still accepting characters, humans now avalible]

Vaye bated her eyes, not surprised he didn't notice, "Both Eva and Puc have given me the same stare since I've arrived, they don't want me here. I can't blame them, I know why I'm a threat, but I hope they would understand I'm not part of this war anymore.....and that I only want to be with you...Chive." she whispered his name while pulling towards him, kissing his cheek.

"I guess......but....I have another idea...." Puc had a plan come to mind, it was bound to work, especially in their current situation. "Vaye is with Chive in partnership, meaning they are working together in this war. Perhaps we don't have to force her out of her, but to negotiate information from Vaye, about this war and why she has interest in Chive." Not only would this help them with battle, but to see if chive understand what kind of nightmaren he's with.

Lei-Lei returned to Wizeman's chambers with a severally injured Reala, dragged by the collar, she announced her results, "Master, the persona's signal, was a scape goat to the true fight. Cerberus has been released, and was attack a plant fortress, that resides on top of the platform, the alter to the infinite ideya. I found Reala, his persona pulled from his face, 0beaten down as the nightmaren you see here."
"Cerberus.....secure his location, and return him to his nightmare, go now!" Lei-Lei paralooped back to the Dream Gate, while Reala coughed out his words to Wizeman
"Mas.....Master.....Anot.....another chance....."

Chive glided back over to the statitionary Vaye as she spoke out to him, still from the soft spot on the side of his bed. Hearing about the unapproving looks and glares that apparently have been given to Vaye right under Chive's nose honestly didn't suprise him that much....like Vaye, Chive has an idea of why she may be seen as a bit of a threat here...but still, Vaye has come with no harmful intentions in mind...it's not really fair of the others to just keep their cold stares if she's not here for trouble...right?
Chive felt the need to apologize to Vaye for the actions of the others..it would be the right thing to do...but as Vaye finished her small explaination, Chive once again was thrown off his feet...soon recieving a kiss on the cheek..a sweet whisper gently following along right with it. Chive couldn't express himself...his knees unsteadily clanging together with no explination, before soon giving out, causing Chive to tumble to the floor for a breif moment, before awkwardly yanking his way back to his seat next to Vaye on the bed...cheeks a perfect shade of proud pink. "M-...Maybe they will come to l-learn..." Chive stuttered mindlessly as he gazed at his feet, volume of his voice flying from low to high as he tried to form words, "..Things...Things can take time....sometimes...times..things...hahaha..!"

Eva liked Puc's ideas on how they might be able to take control of the situation Vaye has thrown them into...but even if they would be able to get Vaye into a trusty enough mood to where they might be able to get an answer or two from her...who's to say she'd even be honest..?
...There's no way Vaye would even talk to Eva...Puc maybe, but never Eva...would she even be away from Chive long enough to be questioned at some point...?
"...Sounds like a plan to me..." Eva cooed sleepily, nuziling her head lightly into his shoulder, "...Can't wait to be though this madness...being able to have our blissful life and adventures back again....everyday...whatever we..wish it to be..."

Vaye giggled, watching Chive act like an over excited puppy, such an adorable sight. "If they want you to be happy, they'll let me stay...that's the only reason." Vaye told him bluntly as she walk around on her knees on the bed, sitting behind Chive's back. "But thinking too much about this....just relax." placing her plams as Chive's back, she moved them with a constant pulse in a circle motion, messaging his back.

"I know..." Puc simply answered, the past several says have been the worst for Puc. Though he could fly again, it was at the cost of Eva losing her flight and service under Wizeman. Peace would return to their lives once this war is over, then they could go on their adventures whenever they like once more....but they would have to defeat the only two that remain, Chive and Reala. Puc stood up, they would have to put this plan in effect now. "Then sooner we talk to Vaye the better, after all we, want her out of here." Puc answered with a bold grin

"Wizeman stared at Reala with vulgar eyes, "How dare you ask such a request Reala!! I have given you enough lives to match that of cat and you still beg for more. I once saw you as the sight of perfection, and with each recreation you have gotten stronger. But not strong enough!! Reala, your failures have brought you to this point, punishment must be resolved." A red light shot from each eye of Wizeman's six hands. Reala had to paraloop to survive.....he needed the strength.....he needed the strength.....he needed.......it was too late, Reala thought too much on his salvation, he didn't react to these thoughts, and for that, the general was no more.

Chive thought about what Vaye said...her staying here is only made possible because he was being done a favor or sorts by the others....if that was ture....how long would they tollerate Vaye staying with him? She had nowhere else to go...did she...? She'll be all alone out there again if they let her leave....open to another assault at any given time....but as quickly as Chive's thoughts had come and gone by, he heard an odd noise. Looking to his side, Chive noticed that Vaye had dissapeared...and then the odd noises stopped, and Vaye's light sing-song voice started up from behind...and before Chive knew it...he was knocked right off his feet for a third time around...down for the count.
Chive has never had such a thing done to him...such a pleasent feeling thing...it was just..incredible...speachless, Chive just sat in disbelief, dumb smile and bright cheeks sitting on his face as his eyes slipped closed.
...He just has to...maybe he can convince the others Vaye has changed..he just has to...just has to try..he's gotta!

The Dream Gate continued its ominous aura from the two giant monsters, both barely could fight the other, but Cerberus wouldn't give up. The curse placed on him forced Cerberus to go through a final transformatio;the center jewel glowing green once more. The heads of Cerberus faded away into their spiked sphere bodies. A loud growl bellowed as the center jewel, took the shape like Bomamba's cat. Using the two spiked chained spheres as arms, the Cerberus feline smashed the plant with pure destruction, exposing the alter and the persona left nearby.

Eva gave Puc a smile as she watched him give a bold and strong face, getting herself up to her own feet before giving an agreeing nod...but something still sort of bugged her about Vaye..
...That girl...she had been given the yellow mask, corrct? Symbol of the ideya of hope? If so...the change of clothes she had recieved might have been related to her mask's own ability then....and yet, even after claiming her persona is now gone, demolished....she still has her new uniform...now how rational does that seem...one object surviving when the item it's tied to has supposedly been destroyed....Eva didn't buy it...but without seeing the mask on her face, there was still no way to tell if Vaye was being truthful or not....but it any case, truth or lies....she's not staying here long.
Puc has it completely correct...the sooner she departs from here the better...best kick her out before she gets comfortable enough to cause mischeif.

After trying to capture Chive early in the war, how would he have a change of heart and support her instead of fear her. Not only that, Puc and Eva would still have to be concerned, persona or not. Exo was knocked out of the war and yet still fought with a purpose. Then again, that purpose was to break the love between Puc and Eva, easily prevented. "I'll go talk to them. We'll just have to take caution with Vaye. Even if she doesn't have a persona, I don't think that will stop her from fighting is if it comes to that point." Puc floated to the door, looking back at Eva, "you want to come with?"

"Feels good doesn't?" Vaye asked as she continued to message Chive's back with a delicate touch. Bringing Chive to this submission took no time at all, he was easily aroused. She ended the message with a hug , resting her head on his shoulders, and whispering in his ears, "I'll make sure you win this war."

"I think it might be best if I just wait this one out, Puc." Eva replied softly, gliding over to Puc with a small smile spread across the face."I know that Vaye would react more violently if I were to go with you...perhaps this may go over better if I were to stay passive with this one..."
With Chive at her side, any form of physical confrontation is the worst possible scenario. Sure, Chive would never attack them...but with that psycho just inches from him at all times...what's to stop her from hurting him in the process?
"...Here, sweetheart," Eva began lightly, taking the brooch from her pocket before holding it out to him, "....Give it your best.."

Lei-Lei arrived back at the Dream Gate, curious what the result of the gigantic battle was. To her surprise, the fortress is completely destroyed, left as crushed decayed by......a cat? What happen to Cerberus? Is that Cerberus?? This feline Cerberus obviously took on a new transformation.....most likely by that witch of cats....Lei-Lei continued to watch as the feline Cerberus grew tired, and rested by the fountain, leaving it unharmed.

Puc took the brooch from Eva's hands with a smile on his face, "thank you, I will." Placing the brooch back on the collar of his clothing, Puc left through the doorway, he would be performing these negotiations for the both of them. They had to know what Vaye's true purpose were with Chive.....she has to be stopped..

Chive was hypnotized by Vaye and her message, not a thought going through his head as she continously moved the muscles in his back. This is just so amazing...so wonderful...and it's thanks to Vaye..being here.....she's just...just too won-
..-But Chive's attention soon found Vaye again as she propped her head on his shoulder, arms around his front as she entangled him in a hug...whispering gently to him again...again...about the war...
"...Vaye..." Chive began gently, lifting an arm up without even knowing it, not even thinking about it as it grazed the side of her cheek, "...I do not think I can be in this war anymore...I almost lost my brother because of all this fighting...all this pain...it is not worth just a measly wish...especially a wish to one that does not even know a use for it. ...I can not just go out and fight someone...I am..I am just too weak for such a thing.."
Chive still didn't know what his actions should be....even after all this time, he still can't take his mind off at least trying to stay to fight...but..how can he...?
...Somone is bound to be hurt in al of this...it's surely going to happen, Chive can feel it. All this meangless combat.....someone's going to get killed...

Vaye let go of Chive, she was surprised to know how weak Chive was. To no longer fight in this war, all for his brother sake. How precious, but if he really wasn't going to dare play, then why wear the persona up until now? "I don't think you're weak Chive." Vaye told him with false feeling in her heart "If you know there is no reason to fight....then tell Wizeman you resign from this war....." If Chive gave up, that would be one less competitor to worry about...and give Vaye a disadvantage in their...relationship..

Puc floated to Chive's doorway, and a deep breath, he knocked on his door with determination. "Chive.....Vaye! I need to speak with you both!" Puc awaited their answers, while thinking of a plan to follow through with.....to show Chive that Vaye is still the same mischievous girl he had first met.

Chive's head perked up apon hearing the knock of Puc at his door, half opened eyes gazing towards the object that currently seperated their eyes. He was curious as to what Puc would want..but, he sees no reason not to let him have his word. Puc is someone that has come to gain Chive's respect and trust...what reason is there to deny him a wish...
"Please enter, Puc," Chive called out in reply, granting Puc the proper consent of allowing him into his space. Perhaps Vaye really had it right from before....Eva's hesitance with her words...maybe she really wanted to come and say something diffrent to Chive other than what she had said...then perhaps now..Puc has come to say what she can't say..for her.

Eva gave a light yawn as she watched Puc glide down the hall to Chive's quarters, wishing him the upmost of luck in his mission to truely explain to Chive what monster he has prowling around with him...digustingly hanging off his side like that...why, if Eva still had the nerve she'd-! ..No.....no, Eva wasn't going to let Vaye ruin the rest of her night...Exo's already suceeded in putting a pretty good damper on most of her mood, but the small time she has been able to spend with uc has made it a bit better....Vaye's not going to get the pleasure of making that joy die off too. That girl should be counting her blessings, anyway...oh, if only she hasn't pulled Chive into his....she'd have no legs left to keep wandering her way in here with!
With a quiet tug Eva pulled off her coat by the sleeves, folding it up with tired hands as her boots began to zip their way down her legs in unison, soon left leaning against one another on the floor as the coat in turn sat softly in its own happy shelf. ..Eva knows Puc will be able to straighten everything out by the time he comes back...there's nothing he can't do, after all...Vaye will soon be out of here...and Chive will be able to think his own thoughts again.

Lei-Lei flew down to the platform to view the damages, all of which had been down to the plant fortress, the flooring, alter, ideya were all still intact.....and.....a persona? The persona bearing the ideya of hope rested by the alter, the holder must have left it behind....but for what purpose.....Lei-Lei took the persona in her hands, and flew past the sleeping giant, planning to claim the other rouge persona.

Puc entered in Chive's room, greeted by the obvious curious stare from Vaye. Puc would have to keep focus to try and set these negotiations. "It has come to my attention that Eva still disapproves of Vaye staying here with you Chive. So if are still focused on giving her shelter for the time being, then we might as well be partners, and all four of us will be an alliance." If they teamed up, Vaye will have a harder time keeping up her charade....but Eva will not be pleased about this.....it was all he could think of attempting....

"An...alli..ance?" Chive repeated with question, knowing without a doubt why Eva would still hate having Vaye within these walls, but....to form a team...with the two of them both in it....Eva couldn't possibly agree to that, could she?? To have to work with someone that tried to hurt you...even protect them...Eva probably doesn't even know Puc is asking all this right now.
"Well...if you consider that as our best action, I shall agree to it," Chive began without doubt, unsure how Vaye would take this...but hopefully better than Eva...
"...But are you sure such a pact will..work? I do not mean to criticize you at all, but.." Chive paused to throw a quick glance at Vaye with his eyes, pointing at her without actually pointing, "There might be a few..quirks.. in our group.."

"I'm not fully sure if this will work, but judging by the current standards.... There are 4 of us left in this war. Chive, Eva, Reala, and I. Forming an alliance, we can find Reala, defeat him, then decide from the three of us, who gets the wish." Puc wasn't to sure of the plan, knowing only that the main objective was to make Vaye show her true colors.
"and you want me to be apart of this alliance too?" Vaye asked, she knew there was another reason for this....alliance....what was Puc trying to hide,
"Of course, you were the last to have fought Reala. If you lead us to the last location Reala fought you at, we'll all be there together. Having the remaining competitors in one open place will surely get his attention.

To team up to take on the general himself...just thinking such a thing put a horrible feeling through his heart. The general is the strongest of them all, of anyone for that matter, even stronger than his twin...the best....the most respected and adored...and now, they have to go out and engage him in combat? This war...this evil war..not only does it turn sibling against sibling in its evil wake, it now forces its puppets to go after the one they all follow...Chive...Chive hates this war..!
"I will agree to that...taking the general on in a group is our only chance to match his superior skill...I..will help in his elimination from the game...at least that will make a sure two or three of us to fight."
Puc will fight, Chive knows that firmly, its his own plan...Vaye might fight...payback for her own elimination...Chive himself will fight until the mask breaks...nothing more than that, but...sister has always been the most starstruck of their trio of the most adored.......but she's still going to have to help.

To Lei-Lei's luck, the persona bearing vigilance rested on the branch it was last left on. Both personas vacant, if both of these were lost, does that mean their owners have a chance to claim them back.....For Reala, he didn't deserve another chance....not after his actions....but with the persona bearing hope....surely she was still in this war? No matter, safe to say the best choice of action would be to return these items to Wizeman as soon as possible....however.....this late into the war.....she wouldn't mind fighting....for her own wish....

"I guess that will work..." Vaye said dully, just one fight and then they would decide the end of the war.....how boring "Reala would most likely return to where we fought....the Dream Gate."
"Then we'll set plans to be there tomorrow." Puc answered firmly, the last time they were at Dream Gate.....Vaye kis-
"I will say something else about the location we fought at.....it's where the infinity ideya is." Vaye answered with a eager grin.

"...Infinity Ideya..?" Chive repeated silently, unsure what Vaye was talking about...but clearly, it appears that was one of the others things he must have missed back in Wizeman's lair........his name's still not silly.
"Having that present will not put any hitches in our plans, will it?" Chive began gradually, pretty much clueless as to what the thing is, but...if it's related to this sick and twisted game..it still might cause as much trouble as another opponent supporting a mask. "It would be costly to have something distracting us in a fight with someone so powerful...will having this ideya cause much diffrence to us?"

"Don't you remember Chive?" Vaye asked, batting her eyes at him, "the infinity ideya is what this war is all about. Each time one of the seven personas is broken, the ideya from that persona is transferred there. Last competitor to add their persona wins the war, and is granted their wish."
"correct Vaye." Puc understood this plan was more of a final battle strategy. "If the prize is at that location, then this will be the final fight."

Chive blinked, putting Vaye's explination together in his head....such an obvious answer, yet he overlooked it.....embarassing..
"....R-right...I remember it now..yes..." Chive began gradually, Vaye's eye-spasm trick once again taking his gaze in its grip, "..If this shall be the final fight..I will...I will make sure to be in top shape..come..come tomorow."
The final battle, the end of this madness...just a few more moments, one more night to stand of all this....he can fight one fight, Chive can stand fighting just one battle...if doing this can stop anymore battles from arising.....he shall fight untill he falls.

"Master, I have found these personas at the Dream Gate, what shall be done with them?" Lei-Lei asked upon her returning, hoping for either both to be destroyed or at least to posses one of them
"The personas.....both controlled by those that had conquered dismay and courage. One no longer has bearer, the other has left her sight. Therefore, there are two nightmarens that I see, in trapped by the other competitors. Hope for Bomamaba......Vigilance for Exo....."
Lei-Lei smiled, Exo would have his chance again.....however.....the cat witch would be allowed to fight again......
"Yes master, who shall I find first....?" Lei-Lei asked bitterly
"Exo resides tied up in his own weaponry on the out skirts of Nightmare, free him and re-enlist him at once."
"...yes....Master..." Lei-Lei left the chamber to the skies of nightmre, searching for the nightmaren she had saved once, and would rescue again.

"Good, get some rest, we'll send off after some sleep." Puc had finished his negotiations, Eva won't be too happy, but this war will soon be over, Reala will knocked out of this war and Vaye can go back to living on her own....life will be back to normal.
The moment Puc left, closing the door shut, Vaye instantly wrapped her arms around Chive again. "Now that he's gone....let's spend some more time together."

Chive gave Puc a small wave as he turned and made his exit, ready to prepare himself properly for what might be his actual first mission in what seems like ages....but before Chive could even let his hand reach back down to his side...Vaye made her move.
"M-M-M-More..t-time..?" Chive stuttered out in his awkward low to high sounding pitch, caught off gaurd by her tatics yet again, "..Wh-What d-did you have in m-mind...?"

The lonely whistle of wind blowing past was the only thing keeping him company throughout these few hours of his captivity; caught up in a trap of his own making...left to pay for his words and actions..for as long as it takes...
This captivity's torture was to solely just make him think...relive every single harsh word that he said to them..go through all those feelings of anger and confusion towards the one person he thought was just ignoring it all, and then to the person that meerly added to everything....go through the feeling, over and over again....of seeing his sister walk away..taken care of by a new soul....not even batting a eye at his calls for her to come back....all this time...it's only made him think....lie silently under his binds, and think...go over everything in his head again and again...leaving him wanting nothing more but to let the score settle...nothing more but a crave to let Haze Bullet..find Puc and Eva again.

Puc returned to Eva's drowsy....sleepy.....barely making it to Eva's bed, he laid down....tired....he needed rest....
As for Vaye, she was ready to play with Chive again, she laded next to Chive, giggling, "Oh, Chive..." she kissed him, while moving her hands to his torso, the message continued. "I still want you to win...."

Eva let her curious eyes open back up as she felt a shift of weight on her bed, a restless mind still barely keeping her still awake. Unsure with what the odd occurance might have been, Eva turned her head drowsily to the side, expecting to find that her mind had meerly played a trick on her, but yet...what she saw only made her chuckle..an exhausted Puc, flopped down on her bed..barely able to keep himself running for a second longer.
...This day has been nothing but work for both of them...Puc deserves this rest. And giving a sleepy lean over, Eva gave Puc a light kiss on his forehead, whispering a still chuckling, "Good night, Puc.." before turning back around, and nuzzling her smiling face back into her pillow.

Chive was left dumbstruck by Vaye's sudden dramatic change in mood, harsh thump in his chest coming straight back, stronger than it ever has before. Feeling the relaxing feelings from his back now repeating on his front..feeling that pressure in his face...it was all too much..he almost felt...almost felt faint..
"..You..still want me to win...?" He repeated cluelessly, eyes half looking to Vaye, half staring at what her hands are doing, "..bu...but...the others..the others will surely want this wish more than me...how could I not...g-g-give it to them...?"
It confused Chive why Vaye still wants him to be the victor..but..he has to no wish...no greedy things his heart desires....how can he take the wish with no reason...what's wrong with just letting the others have it..?

Vaye was hesitant to prove Chive wrong, he had to believe more in himself, win for the sake of his own....but he doesn't wish for anything......just like Vaye.....they both were satisfied, "So you don't want to win... because you have everything you need?" Vaye didn't want her charm to be this much of an influence on Chive....nothing more she could do....they were both in love.

The nightmaren Lei-Lei had saved once before, was tethered in net and left to solidarity. Lei-Lei had already seen potential in Exo during his fight with Reala, but simple mistakes almost cost him his life. She approached Exo cautiously, carrying both personas of vigilance and hope. "Luck shines upon you again Exo." She announced, freeing him from the tangled trap. "Master Wizeman sees it fitting that you deserve a second chance, after all you've been put through." She handed him the persona of vigilance. "...By using the persona worn by Reala...."
