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

Walk through the..water..?
Eva remembered the last time she had tried to move through water just using her legs...ending up face first in the sand with suit drenched fouly with the very ocean she stands in now...turely an embarassing day that was. "..Walking through the water sounds great.." Eva replied, still a little weary of past mistakes, concidering she has her coat on this time..but they will only be walking this time..they can't have anything bad happen if they go slow, right..?
Getting her coat drapped up over one arm, Eva let her other hand hang free, swaying a little in the water of of anxiety of her precious coat dangiling over wet, wet water...but they are going to be okay..they aren't running this time...she won't fall another time...her precious coat will be alright.
...The warm water feels kind of good on her skin, anyways. ..This is worth the chance.

"No-..No...I want to go on this with you.." Chive replied to Vaye, hastilly trying to show he wasn't affriad...but at the same time half wanting to just take her offer and run off to some new location. "..I do not mind going on this ride..thing.....if you are up for it, I am t-..too..!"
..He wants to ride this thing..while at the same time not wanting to approach a step closer to it...he wants to see what its like, yet pry his eyes away wihin the same desire....he...wants to at least try it once...if its something that can make Vaye's day rememberable, he will do it with her..
...If he acts a fool...it's only Vaye here with him. Chive knows Vaye well enough...its not like this would be a big issue..right..?

Puc was glad Eva would agree to this, he needed something to calm his mind....this was it...holding Eva's hand, he lead her into the water, only about a foot deep, but still enough to feel the warmth spread through the body. With slow but progressive steps, they stepped through the water, leaving a thin wisp of ripples follow behind them.

"Chive, I don't want to go on this....not while you're like this..." Vaye answered, a bit surprised and guilty for the way Chive is acting. She understood his desire to do all he can for her, but she wouldn't let him come in touch with his fears just to please her....that's....it's...it's cruel..."Now's not a good time Chive..."
A flute then sounded through the air, with a strange heroic tune, as a familiar voice spoke, "The park is always open, for anyone at anytime. If you're not sure now, you can always come back whenever." smiled a purple nightmaren.

Haze and Exo stared at each other for a brief moment after Exo's deciding words, the coldneww that had drifted out with them through his voice.
..This is it, huh..? The last fight between them..and it's only the second one! Sounds fun to Haze, regardless. Taking out his boredom on Exo will make up for the boring night and morning he had to suffer through with his sibling. "You said it, not me!" Haze said with a chuckle, spoting a glimpse of that character that had sat imprisoned in Wizeman's chambers now drifting up above them out of the corner of his eye....feeling a little baffled on why Wolf is suddenly free like Haze himself, but there were better things tot end to, as his gaze fell back down to Exo, hands pointing each gun up at him...before both triggers were pulled, two from eac side of the standoff...their fight had begun.
As for the alternate Eva, the gunfight didn't concern her too much..to busy trying to think...where could Eva and Puc be..? Eva was supposed to come running out of her chambers like a frightened young girl, looing for any place to just runa dn hide in for who knows how long...the perfect distraction to eliminate those startled by this, defenses down...but of course, that idiot had saeved the, with whatever he had done...and knowing his customs from the memories of her other...Puc's probably gone and rcomeneded a crummy adventure! to somewhere for their day..leaving their home.
...All she has to do is thik of where she could be, she had all the memories of their past spots, it's not like there were many suprised places they could be at right now....but eliminating the ones with upseting endings...only one world seems to have ended pleasenly enough...that beach....there is a chance they ventured there...all she needs is a moment more..and maybe she can find out in her own way.

Eva slowly moved with Puc deeper and deeper into the soothing warm ocean waters, finding herself squeezing his hand every now and again out of old habit, feeling the water creep high and higher up her legs as they made their baby-steps further in. ..This...this isn't so..hard..this isn't so hard..she can..beat this chalenge...this water...it's nothing!
Watching as more and more of her white legs dissapeared into the ocean's tint brought small chills through Eva, but she still felt Puc's hand right by her own, she still has her strength with her..she can make it...takle this silly thing..it's only water...nice-feeling water. ...Water that she gets to walk through with Puc...water that doesn't seem..as bad as it use to be a minute ago...
...It kind of felt..nicer now.

Puc felt the water slowly raise up around him as they continued to walk the shore hand in hand. The warm water damping his skin through his clothes...served as a reminder...of what he can't have. Strange, how the water changed for Eva's chance to travel through it for once....but even so, Puc felt cold water was...natural, pure....and most of all, realistic for a beach. But this world is only imagination....only dreamers can change this beautiful nightopia.....he liked it the way it was...

Eva and Puc continued with thier stroll through the unusually warmed waters of Puc's splendid beach.
It was still quite the newexpireience for Eva, to be willingly walking through water, the fact she has her coat on as as she takes her setpes...but the soothing temperature of the water around her legs was almost enough in its on for her to want to take this little side-trip...but no extra instances could pose more a greater reason, than the prmoise of being near Puc.
With a relaxing sigh, Eva let her pace even out too that of a bit of quicker speed, moving up from baby steps at leas..to perhaps..todler steps...but..as the two continued their peacefull walk together..something in Eva..soon went numb.
The enitre feeling throughout both of Eva's legs suddenly died away..completely a mystery to her on what was even going on, but unable to bear her weight..Eva soon found herself tumbiling towards the ground, seeming as a mere trip, using the few half seconds she has left before the wet world came at her-...to shift her coat high above her head, sparing it from having a single drop of water touch its maginifcent red textures...as the rest of her bottom half remained soaked.
...it was purely mystery to eva why she couldn't use her legs...but before she could confirm this annomally to Puc, her feeling in her legs suddenly came back. ...An odd occurancd....but, this surely wasn't anything to worry about...best not let something so silly interfere with her time with her loved one..she has her feeling back now, at least...whatever that odd thing was..it's all over now..
..Through that same moment, a separate, cold pair of balck and white eyes reopened, having felt the feeling of water around her legs...her orginal's current location proving truely to be somwhere where she could walk through warm water...but the only place that she could do such an action was thatcold-watered beach Puc takes her to..the other places just don't have that kind of set-up ike the beach could give; it left her unsure...but she had her lead now. ...she knows where they are..
...She knows she can find them

"....I...understand, Vaye." Chive replied as he loosened his grasp of Vaye's hand, now realizing that pehaps-...she hadn't wanted to go on that ride at all..or amybe it was his own reaction that drove her away from it..but whatever it was...it made him feel a bit at fault for her reason to back away from this coas-
The sounds of a flute soon drifted through the air, this beautiful melody quickly getting Chive under alert as he moved his hand from resting in Vaye's to pulling her close by the waist. ..That flute, only the enemy plays that flute...that traitor he's been taught and come to hate on his own...chive wasn't expecting such an encounter on his day with Vaye. ..he couldn't possibly let something like this take his attention away from the one he wanted to spend his daylight hours with, but--...this traitor that somehow always escapes imprissonment..be it one cage design after a perfected other....he can't just sit by and let him run freely as he sitss here....no-...no, he can't just do that!!
With a reach back with his other hand Chive unhooked his bruch, holding in ready at his side as he looked around to spot the face of the traitor that embarasses them all with his actions and antics....hoping only that this pest might dissapear...and give him the excuse to be able to just go back to having time with Vaye..rather than have her sit and watch him..do his duties.

Puc's pulse for Eva continued, but this walk of repetition only made his mind wander, were they truly safe? Could the dreamer who change the water here did this act on accident, or did they have a purpose.....and what about the alternative Eva....no matter how many times he tries to forget.....this was their newest thr-
In instance Eva's hand jerked downward pulling the distracted Puc towards the water, Puc's only reaction was to shut his mouth and eyes, and brace for impact as fell into the water face first with a splash. The warm water cushioned his fall from hitting the sandy bottom of the shallow ocean before using his arms to pull himself up to the surface, exhaling his held breath, and opened his eyes. Confused with what just occurred, he turn towards Eva, who looked just a shocked, waist deep in the water. Puc got back to his feet, the entire front of his body suit, drenched in water, fading the the color to a dark gray. His face still damp with water, who couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright Eva, did something happen?"

Vaye pouted at the sight of the cheerful purple nightmaren, to think their day could have been perfect, is again intruded by a nosy pest. Lucky for Vaye, Chive felt the same way about this rude being, already bearing his weapon for attack. Vaye was of course thrilled by Chive's actions, even with a fear of roller coasters, Chive is able to summon true courage to stop threats like this happy-go-lucky nightmaren.
NiGHTS smile turned towards concern, he didn't plan on fighting, and would not let that occur while the nightopians are around. He'll have to negotiate with them, these nightmarens of Wizeman, and stop them from causing any terror to this nightopia.
"There's no reason to fight here, this is a place of joy and entertainment, not violence." NiGHTS jumped down from the roof, staring at the two nightmarens, who looked back at him with angered looks, "IF you want a fight, I'll let you choose the location, anywhere but here."

It took the sound of Puc's splash to wake Eva from her thoughts, leaving her to look around curiously for the source of the odd noise, dumbstruck on what it could be that fell...but soon, watching as he picked himself up, completely drentched all over the front of his suit...that thing that had fallen...was Puc.
Eva could only stare, covering her mouth with her freed hand as her widened eyes watched Puc get up to his feet. ..Oh...she must have pulled him down with her...they were holding each other's hand-...he must have gotten yanked down with her when her legs gave way-..!
"..I'm perfectly alright, sweetheart.." Eva began quickly, taking care to keep her coat dry as she too got to her feet, guilty blush rising on her cheeks. "...That was just-...well, it doesn't matter now. ..I'm so sorry for getting you all wet, sweetheart.."
Taking it with her free hand from the arm supporting her coat, Eva plucked a handkerchief from her lack of wrist, gently drying Puc's damp face off with another guilty bite of the lip. ..Whatever the reason for her legs giving way was, it didn't matter...due to her own actions, Puc suffered..even if it was just him getting drentched on his front. ..Eva still felt guilty for Puc's spill into the ocean...she only hoped this wasn't going to ruin the mood of the rest of their day together.

"You must have just tripped on something." Puc reassured Eva on why she might have fell, he couldn't let her worry...or they would have no reason other than return to home....might as well now. "At least the worst was just getting wet, all that matters is we're safe." Puc walked out of the waters back onto the sand, his feet sinking an inch into the sand with molding foot prints. He reached for the zipper on the back of his suit, pulling himself loose from his drenched suit, the cool air breezing past his body. "We should dry off, and head back."

...Tripped....she was going to have to start believeing that excuse as fact...Puc is already worried about so many things lately...the last thing she wants him to have to deal with is the knowledge that her body might be failing her in some form now..
"...You're probably right...clumsy me.." Eva replied with a light chuckle, watching Puc as he walked back to the shore ahead of her, getting his damp suit off...with much attention from Eva.
Things will just have to be this way until whatever Puc has on his mind has been taken care of..it seems....but, Eva will wait for that day...she has no problem or quarrel with waiting for peace to come. ..Eva only wished she could help Puc from straining himself so much all the time...but what Puc wants to keep to himself...he'll keep to himself.
with a rise from the water and a let down of her coat, Eva flew off to go and fetch her boots, getting chills sent all throughout her from the cold wind mixing with her half-soaked suit as she flew...but it wouldn't stop her so easily, as she arrived bck at the spot where she had removed herself from her boots, bending down to pick them up...but as Eva leaned over...another unexplainable event occured. Hands just a hlaf inch from reaching her boots...Eva heard a light giggle from directly behind her..but getting herself straightened up, throwing an imidiate glance to see this person...there was no one there.
Eva didn't know what it could have been...perhaps it was just her being crazy...but a little shaken, she proceeded to gathering up her items and flying back off to Puc's location, landing next to his side with smile on face, knowing that whatever that was-...no..it was probably just nonsense...!

Chive gave the Nightmaren before them a hard galre, the meschievious NiGHTs...now intterupting his day out with the one he loves.
"My purpose being here today was indeed to just have a peaceful expirience here, " Chive stated without emotion, eyeing NiGHTS and his obvious displeasure...probably only trying to save these Nightopains by offering to trek somewhere else for a fight between them. "...Though I would prefer continuing on my day, if you intend to continue disrupting my plans for my day I will not halt mysellf one moment further than taking you back to Master Wizeman. Concider that a promise.."
In all honesty, Chive had no problem with going out and trying to subdue the traitooor only the best have managed to even contain for a few moments at a time...but all he really wanted was to just have a perfect day out with Vaye..the day they couldn't pull off yesterday. ...If this nuisance chooses a fight, Chive won't heistate to give it to him, but, secretly..his heart and mind were only for Vaye today...if he does..get this fight...Chive nows his heart won't be in it.....he-..NiGHTS-...this-...it only made Chive squeeze his brush harsher.

Puc stepped out of his suit and picked up the wet pile of damp cloth by the shoulders, fanning it out with quick whiplash of the wrists. He then packed it tightly together, and ringed out the last droplets of water that absorbed into the sandy ground. Puc took his wrinkled body suit and wrapped the suit around his waist, wearing it like a belt until they get home. Puc then walked back to Eva, who still had a puzzled look, she must be embarrassed from her trip still...it's only natural to feel guilt..."If you're ready Eva...I'll take us back."

"you'll only get hurt if you still plead loyal to Wizeman...I don't violence at this park, so I'll leave you two be." NiGHTS formed a paraloop, and like a blackhole, all the nightopians flew from where-ever they were in the park leaving the park just to Chive, Vaye, and NiGHTS. "This place is yours for now. If you still serve under Wizeman's orders, I won't hesitate....." NiGHTS followed through the portal, leaving the angered couple by themselves. Vaye felt Chive's courage fade away with that purple nightmaren's escape. His heart was more powerfull then his rage, but Vaye still saw him as a knight in shinning armor. "Thank you for saving me, Chive." Vaye gave him a kiss on the cheek before asking, "Who was that exactly, a rival of yours?

"..Oh, um-...sure, Puc..I'm ready if you are.." Eva replied half-mindedly, still a bit perplexed with the giggle..but unsure if what she heard was truely an atuall occurance, or perhaps just a false thought. Turning around to look to Puc as he walked up to her..to see him in his hardly dressed state..barely dressed in his suit...at all..
..To see Puc in such a way....again..stained Eva's cheeks with a deep blush, dropping her boots back onto the sand she had just gotten them off of. Eva's confusion and uncertainty of the mysterious giggle she had heard soon died away, replaced now by..well, no thoughts at all. An empty mind, with eyes blankly staring at the pefection before her, before her head swiftly turned to look back infront of her, cheeks dyed the same tint as her horns as she scrambled to get her boots again, unable to stop the actions her body began to make, the only thoughts on her newly cleared mind..thoughts her lips weren't strong enough to repeat.

It irked Chive to listen to NiGHTS's parting words, hand girrping his held brush tightly within his shaking hands. ..To say he would be in danger with being with Master Wizeman....that NiGHTS..he's...lair! That's nothing but a lie! Don't act like you're being the bigger person by running away, you scum! Don't think that wa-!!!! ...huh?
"...You do not now him..?" Chive asked Vaye lightly, interrupted y his thoughts from her kiss to his cheek, but still-...tht traitor that just left is one of the most widely known among those loyal...but, yet0..wait...Vaye isn't loyal...is she..? ..It makes sense that she might not know of NiGHTS like him, then..but even so, perhaps it wold be best to let her know about the threat that had just made his escape.
"..That was a Nightmaren named NiGHTS..an ex-first class Nightmaren, and one of the most powerful during his time of loyalty. ..He is not truely a rival of mine..that is more of the general's claim, but he is hated by most..included by my own person.....Eva an d Exo would surely yell at me for not purusing NiGHTS right now if they knew about this..hehe..."

Puc formed a paraloop back to Puc's artistic mural room, no problems came to them during this trip...everything meant to be...they would return to a comfortable bed, and rest the night away. He looked back at Eva, who's blush brighten her embarrassed face. Puc's cheeks soon matched the same color, her eyes obviously looking at his unclothed body. "l-l-let's go..." Puc stuttered grabbing Eva by the hand and taking them back home.

"NiGHTS......" Vaye repeated the name, her voice short and harsh, she's heard his name before...but she had never seen his face before. That nightmaren...NiGHTS...Public enemy number one, is the prize loyal nightmarens of Wizeman have tried to capture for their master time and time again for the respect and honor they would receive from their master. "I've heard that name before...." Vaye remembered...a day of gloom and despair...to hear her sister had been attacked by NiGHTS...and was no where to be found...."...NiGHTS is the reason I was put into exile....."

Eva followed along with Puc with rosey glowing face held low, sporting her boots huggled against her chest as she traveled back home with her incredibly fashionable Puc.
Standing in Puc's room of glorious and peaceful painted scenery was more than enough to bring Eva's gaze back up from the floor...but even then...she couldn't stop her gaze from occasionally wandering over to..Puc...oooh! ...She-...she just needs a moment-..! "..Puc..?" Eva began lightly, letting her red cheeks and gaze look towards the door as she shifted a little, "..I'm going to go place my boots in my quarters...I'll be back in a moment...!"
Reaching over and giving Puc a quick kiss to his cheek, Eva soon scurried out the door, hussiling herself down the hallway with crimsion-tinted face covered with her hand, before heading into her darened room and heaving a strained sigh..dropping her boots to the floor.
This day was something to be remembered..so much happening..nothing coming to ruin it..and then Puc's little wardrobe malfunction...this is certainly a day she won't ever be abel to forget..not that she would ever want to, that is...everything about today...how perfect it was...it could only bring a little smile over Eva's face, small giggle coming from her as she held her gloved hands gingerly at her waist......but as her small and short giggle stoped...the giggling in the room..did not. A haunting giggle played all throughout Eva's room, a giggle of her own voice..but...twisted in a way...not like the one she had made at all.....this gggle...there was a threatining tone to it. Soon the odd giggle was replaced with another sound, cutting the laugh off in place as it echoed through the room, a loud slam, immdeately making Eva jump a bit in supprise. With a swift turn Eva looked to find her once open before door now shut tightly behind her, and apon her heading over to it, taking the metal handle in her grasp...the door meerly gave clicks as it was pulled and pushed. ...What th-....how can this b-...she's been...locked in.....she's-...she's locked in!!

..iI was supprisingly easier to separate the two than how she thought it would be, but lucky for her...it seems Eva did all her work for her...and through that little flustered fly down the hallway..it seems Eva sealed her own fate....and Puc's.
A gentle giggle drifted around Puc's room, sound soft and soothing, the giggle the pitch of Eva's voice as it lightly drifted throughout the quiet and peaceful room.
Two arms soon wrapped themselves around Puc from behind, soft textured sleeves delicately pulling the body they belong to close to Puc by his back, as a familiar white face popped over his shoulder, persona pressed and polished resting above an unseen grin.
"....Did you have fun today..?" a smooth voice asked, icy fingerless glove grazing against Puc's opposite cheek as the voice spoke to him. "..I know I had fun today..watching you have fun...."

Home sweet home, Puc proceeded to lay down on his bed, while he heard Eva's voice, and answered, "Be back soon..." As Eva left to tend to her needs, Puc got up again to place his suit on the floor, flatten out. It will dry by morning, so he'll just have to sleep bare for tonight. A noise then caught him by surprise....Eva? It sounded like her...but....she left to her room...then....the shadow came to him, gripping its hold on him like Eva's embrace. Puc couldn't turn around to see the person behind him....but through the familiar yet twisted voice....it was the one he tried to avoid....Eva's alternative. Puc had to stay strong, he was undressed and held captive...might as well find out information from this fake, "Of course I had fun...I spent time with the one I love. Tell me, why revenge? Are you nothing more then Eva's forgotten memories...?" Puc had to buy his time...usually the one that saves others from peril, is in the need of a rescuer.

Wizeman made a rare trip to a familiar being, to a location he only escapes to talk with...a mighty tree that towers within the clouds. "Good Evening Mother Elm, it has been awhile since our last meeting. I'll first assure, this is not grave news."
The tree shook rapidly, notches soon appeared on the trunk showing two eyes and crooked mouth, the tree spoke with a raspy voice.
"If it is about my little Vaye, I know she had escaped....she had found someone else to love."
"I am not interested in love life Mother Elm, I bring to you...a gift." Wizeman presented a jagged orb, the one who stole from his captive, now set free. "This, will bring back the one you lost, Mother Elm."

"..Puc-? Puuuc?? ..Sweetheart-..can you hear me??"
Locked up in her room with little explinationas to why...there wasn't much left for Eva to do to get out of her cage than to try and get the attention of who might be able to help her down the hallway...but...she was rather far away...Puc might not be able to hear her through a closed door all the way down the hall..
Tug after tug on the door handle proving fruitless in her efforts to get free from her room...all Eva could do was give a long sigh, letting her hand slip off the hadnle as she turned to give a fustrated look to the wall. She can always just produce a portal out of here through a paraloop...but even then..to have to result in paralooping herself such a short distance when her door was available quite litterally just two moments before...it was irritating to Eva, to say the least, but at least with paralooping..she still has a way to get out.
With a lift up already in motion to produce a portal back to her sweet Puc there was little to think about that might stop her from freeing herself...but as she lifted up..her foot jerked itself back down onto the floor. Eva's widened eyes instantly glared down to the floor, spying around her foot a purple barrier..of...sorts. ...Impossible...if she can't paraloop, she can't get herself out of here at all-....and-...just what is this purple stuff anway?? What right does it have to hold her here like this..??
This is unfathomable....what...what's..what's going on...! This odd thing on her foot-....it's so much like...so much like her own ability..

An entity soully composed from the sorrow and pain created by memories of lies an deciet...that is all Puc sees her as? ...Awwww....what a clever young thing he is...isn't he..? "...I have many reasons to seek revenge for my suffering from you two, various reasons that I would prefer not to bore myself repeating them all for you, Puc...but you are the cause of my whole being...after all....it was many mistakes made by your love-struck heart that brought me this body. ...But ignoring all of that for now..tell me..Puc...you refer to me not as your Eva..not as the one you care for so....why is that, Puc~? Think about it, my dear...am I not truely the Eva you fell in love with in the forest that night..? The time our eyes met first...could it have been the one you allow to be called Eva that you saw...or perhaps.." Alternate Eva paused, moving to Puc's ear as she gave a curling whisper, "....could it have been me, I wonder...?"

Puc knew in the situation he's in, honesty would be his key to escape. He can't just wait for Eva, or Exo, or even Chive and Vaye to come save him....or it will be too late. This alternative....no.....Eva wants answers, Puc understood now that this Eva, is much more than the product of Eva's hate and anger after breaking her heart many nights ago..."To be honest...I fell in love with Eva twice...each for different reasons. However, the Puc that fell in love with you, only for the desire to get close to Wizeman, and defeat him, roams Nightmare by the name of Wolf. The second time, I fell in love with Eva for my own reasons, so I thought. With both are minds wiped of the past....all we could focus on was the present...and the future. We started with a clean slate. I'm sorry to say this...Eva...I did love you....but for all the wrong reasons. I can't change what had already happened..what's done is done. I hope you can forgive me.......Eva........"

Wolf watched Exo and Haze's duel from beginning to end, interested in how the battle occurred. Each copying the others movements, as if mirror directly between them, the perfect fight of symmetry. Wolf understood, as a copy, the greatest opponent they can face, is the original. Each at full power, their skills, specials, and styles, all match. Wolf however, always likes to take the upper hand. He floated towards Exo, who like Haze, panted on the ground, each servilely unable to continue the fight. "How interesting, you put up quite a show. However, I've already decided your copy to be my ally." Wolf shoved Exo with his foot watching him rolls as he soon picked up speed declining down the roof, falling to the ground. "No hard feelings?" Wolf shouted as he couldn't help but sound off an evil laugh.

Alternate Eva was mezmorized by Puc as he spoke his words to her, the fingerless glove that cradeled his cheek slowly but surely slipping off with each passing moment gone by. Puc's words...they ment so little to her, but they held some kind of...some kind of feeling within them...like some deep part of her was soothed to hear what he had to say...her entire rage against him depleating...with much displeasure to her..but even then-...what..what does she care for this apology??? It means nothing to her...she has no feelings for Puc...n-no-...this talk is just...just talk.
"..You are a big man to be able to admit your own mistakes, Puc..even when the time for apologies has long since passed you by.." Alternate Eva softly responded in Puc's ear, refusing to touch him a second further as she took her arms away from him, enraged with the fact that her anger against him has slowly thinned, "...I remember the feelings that my other experienced throughout that time...my old Eva, before you murdered her with your love......she loved you quite dearly, as I recall...was willing to do just about anything you asked her to, so long as she believed she would be able to stay beside you...I was bron off the rage she felt for her broken heart, yes....but rage is a diffrent emotion from heartbreak..." Alternate Eva took a few steps back, staring at Puc with glowing eyes, tone growing more and more threatening as its volume decreased, "..Heartbreak...that has no chance of lasting forever..it someday eventually passes, gets less and less powerful over time.....rage, on the other hand.." Alternate Eva hissed, hand slowly drifting upward, deadly attack panned for Puc, about to begin, "...rage is a power that knows no matc-..!"
Cutting her off mid sentence...a vicious blow to the back of Alternate Eva's head. Completely knocked off guard, Alternate Eva soon unwillingly stumbled backwards, falling onto Puc's bed as another dizzing blow hit her, the real Eva, still locked away in her room, delivering blow after blow to the purple mass holding her hostage in her own room, unknowingly detroying the very concentration Alternate Eva has..long with her ability to stay composed...
"..I-....." Alternate Eva mumbled, rolling onto her stomach as gravity limply pulled her off the bed, struggiling to get herself airborn as she lifted from the cold flooring...she has to..get out of here..she..can't faint in a place like this, "..I..I will come..back..for you.....concider my departure...a merciful leave.." With a portal blowing air and her coat widly throughout the room now openedt, Alternate Eva took not one second in haste before crossing through to an unrecognizeable airspace, the sounds of a final gunshot playing from the oposite side...before all was still again, with the portal's close.
...She..won't..forgive..him....she..can't...forgive..him.

"NiGH-....NiGHTS was the reason for your exile???"
Chive could only stare at Vaye in utter shock....rage coarsing through his always softened eyes. How....he had just let the one that had cost Vaye her reson for being slip through his fingers..??? He-....NiGHTS-....how could that traitor-...Vaye...how could he do such a thing to Vaye??? ..He-...He can't get away with such a thing..!! Chive couldn't bare it-...that traitor-...he..this can't be something that can ever be forgiven-...Chive-..!
"...How could he do such a thing to you, Vaye..??" Chive meerly replied, looking at her with now saddened eyes, feeling as though that her exile...it must have been such a horrible thing to go through...Vaye-...because of...because of someone else..everything was taken away..

Exo and Haze's gunfight was that of a fight to the end, bullet shells scattered all throughout their battlefield, casings covering from roof ledge to roof ledge from their mightly duel to the death...but even then, as the two both panted and gasped for sweet air to continue beating the life from one another...an interferince from Wolf...chose the winner of it all for them..
With too little strength to even keep himself on his wobbiling and unsteady knees, Exo couldn't keep Wolf's foot from coming, being nudged just enough by Wolf to send him fully off his stance..soon falling down the roof end over end..before silently slipping over the edge of the roof, dissapearing, as if he were never there at all.
Haze didn't want another draw-..he wanted to win this time..without other's help..but lifting his beated gun up, aimed straight for the rolling Exo as he still hung barely in his sight...the gun meerly collapsed into a pile of gears and rubble as the trigger was pulled, leaving Haze to watch his trophy fall off the horizon before him with helplessness, seeing Exo certainly end up dead by someone else's power...instead of the power he had on his own.
"...Why...did you come...?" Haze panted out, staring up at Wolf as he proudly floated in the air, upset to have his orginal's death be the award of another who so cheaply had come and stole it from him...but still...Haze was still curious to at least know.
"...I coulda beat him on my own...man...I didn't need...halp.."

Puc starred at the pained Alternative Eva, his words were enough to pull her away, but something else was attacking her....unsure, Puc could only guess...love. The Eva he first met, he was able to captivate her, but could not share the same feelings....and therefore...is nothing but a memory. With her departure, Puc had nothing to worry about...with her. Eva still hadn't returned, but probably heard her fake's voice, and is most likely still in the home. grabbing his mostly dry suit, he dressed himself, and was determined to hold Eva close, and sleep the night away.

"Please Chive...calm down....I'll tell you why." Vaye sat down at a nearby bench by the roller coaster, they were the only two occupants of the amusement park, but Vaye didn't feel these silly rides would make her worries go away, only confessions. "It wasn't NiGHTS that put me through exile, but more on the lines of what he did to someone else. I know you recently met my mother, but....I haven't told many about this secret...I have...well...had a sister. Her name was Bella, and she was one of the most beautiful nightmaren to ever take flight. She had grace, charm, and could easily attract anyone she desires, my role model. I wanted to be like her...she was always close to me...Unfortunately, and I still don't know why, but she was forced to become guardian of the forest...and I haven't seen her since. One night, mother told me that she was defeated at the hands of NiGHTS....and was gone forever. I couldn't control myself, I used my powers for violent reasons....I called mother a liar....and so she punished me....placing me in exile....it was my own fault for my actions....and I never thought....ever....that I would met my sister's murderer."

Wolf didn't have to watch Exo hit the ground, if he had enough strength to get up after that fight, he would be foolish to attack Wolf in his critical condition. For now, he can only assume the fall would be enough to end it. He then turned to Haze, injured with a busted weapon. "As confident as you are Haze Bullet, you strength would not be enough. Watching your fight, I understood you couldn't win, and neither could your original. Your fight styles are the same, no matter where you moved, the other mirrored that movement. Had I let this fight continue on its own, you would have both lost. So I decided I'd keep you breathing, after all....I'm in need of some help, and the more fake marens....the better."

"Haze-...Haze....where are you...?"
Alternate Eva arrived through her portal to the aftermath of an atrocious fight, seeing casings of bullets spread here and there, dozens, if not hundreds of them, as they all glistened in the light and fading light....Haze and his other must have been fighting all day..all this mess left behind by them clearly points to that conclusion...but, where is Haze? He must be around somewhere..perhaps he still is where Exo had been residing before....huh...it's worth trying out..
Gliding with unstable leans here and there awkwardly to the sides as she moved, Alternate Eva made her way to the sight Haze had flown to, hearing as she got closer and closer the sounds of her brother's voice, and responding to him...the cooler tone of..Puc..?
"...I-..s-so-......it-...." Alternate. Eva heard as he approached closer still, "....why the heck do you need help, anyway? How the heck did you even manage to get out of that orb vessel thingy-ma-bob I saw you in?"
..Vessel....the only one Haze could be talking about...was that Wolf..boy....Puc's words playing through her mind again just at the thought of Wolf's name. He escaped..? Wolf...huh...pleasant to hear that after all her waiting, she gets to finally meet the one who started this situation....but someone like Wolf...what could he need help with..
"...Haze..?" Alternate Eva called out again, finally able to spot her battered and beaten up sibling, Haze, who eagerly waited for her return, as he waved his arms in excitement, signalling her to come over, yelling out to her with his weakened voice, "THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT WE AREEEE! ...DO I SHOOT HIMM?"

With the alternate Eva's exit from the chambers of all that reside peacefully there, all odd effects cast on the home surely vanished along with her, the doors unlocking, the rooms turning to their regular light, and the foot of the owner if this home, quickly freed.
Eva was still left baffled as to what had occurred, but giving her door handle a try...she was able to open it to the view of the whitened hallway...still leaving her speechless and dumbfounded..but, she's too tired to comprehend it..so why bother trying....Puc is waiting for her..he's the most important thing that matters.
After a quick travel down the hall back to Puc's room warm pound soaring in Eva's heart, Eva arrived back to Puc's room...to unexpectedly see him dressed again..but seemingly just as willing for bed as she is.
"...Sorry for making you wait.." Eva began as she entered the room, "..hope it wasn't much of a bother to you..Puc.."

How lucky, Wolf can now ask for the assistance of Haze Bullet and the alternative he fooled to love, a reunion not soon to forget. "I escaped with pure strength of course, Wizeman could contain me for long till I broke free, a fugitive on the run that Wizeman will never catch again." He added a hearty evil laugh at the end of his lie, Wolf is fond of making stories of fiction. "There's no reason to shoot me, I'm just like you...a copy of a pathetic nightmaren. By ourselves, we are weak, only able to match our original in strength and nothing more. But with our powers together, no nightmaren would be able to stand against us....not even Wizeman himself."

Puc opened the door to the hallway, as he thought, Eva was waiting for the coast to be safe. "It's alright, I'm just glad to see you again." He said, pulling Eva into a hug, he needed to keep his lover close, to get rid of the cold harsh touch from her alternative. "Not at all, let's just get some rest, we've been through a lot today." With that said Puc led Eva to his bed, where they will relax for the night, expecting tomorrow just to be full of more spontaneous events just like today.

"..So..your plan is to attempt overpowering every being here...sounds like quite a mighty challenge, Wolf....tell me..what would you have to gain from such a feat as that..?"
Alternate Eva and Haze were su[prised and intrested at Wolf's proposal undoubtibly, mighty claims of how banding together, they can rise to the most powerful, and even then..beat the mightest of them all.
A pact to become free from the reign of their original's Master was indeed somethine Eva and Haze were willing to go on about forming, but even then-...thught they all are powerful in their unique ways..there is only thee of them...but then again, what use is there in counting out the numbers of the enemy when those numbers are only going to be hacked away by their own hands. With a glance of intrest tossed between Haze and the alternate Eva, there was still the hint of curiousity in both of them that waited to hear more about this idea, but as their glance spread apart...a noise was heard, off in the distance...the sounds of a echoing thud from somewhere far, far bellow them...and at that moment, Haze gave a hearty laugh, turning to his sibling and telling her in between the snorts from laughs, "..I won!"

Chive sat down along Vaye's side as she told him the tale of her exile, listening to her spoken words with full attention to them..but unable to get the thought out of his head...that it was all the fault..of NiGHTS. ...That traitor has taken away the sibling Vaye had had....what might be her only one? ..The one she cares for, even looked up to....she was taken away..and it's all NiGHTS's fault0....but...Vaye..blames herself for her own exile after it. ..To be exiled for something like tha-..that outburst was completely rational in Chive's eyes! Being put through something so horrible, it's only natural that one would react to it! And for Vaye to be sent away on her own because of that little event-.....it...it irked Chive....he has..two siblings to look up to..and he's even able to see them both every day-...but, Vaye's only sibling is gone forever...it doesn't seem fair-...it..it wasn't fair..
With a turn towards Vaye, Chive leaned in closer, hugging her as he placed his head close to her own. ..He had no words to give to her for this..something that terrible..to lose a sibling..he's never expirienced it before...Chive's always been so lucky..to have both of his siblings around, even since day one...he couldn't grasp Vaye's pain...but his only wish was that it may soon hea-...hea-..
...Something horrible pulsed through Chive's heart, just meerly for a moment..but a message he couldn't decode sending its cruel feelings throughout his chest. ....Something..something's happened...somewhere...somewhere...something's happened...
...Something...bad..

"Master Wizeman, what made you think I would want....her...to be found? She had lost her use, ran away, fell in love, and become a grotesque member of your experiments. You think I wouldn't know? The trees, everywhere, are my ears. I know what you've done Wizeman, and I don't want her back."
"Understand Mother Elm, I'll be glad to use this power myself, but if I do, she' will be a servant once more, and she will never know of her mother's existence. Would you rather have her never experience a special bond of a mother and daughter?" Wizeman asked, and was quickly answered by
"Do what you will, I have no children....." With that said Wizeman left back to his chambers, he'll will have to find someone else to use this power...and be consumed by it.

"Domination of course. That tyrant Wizeman has kept his high and mighty perch on the throne for too long. There needs to be a more powerful ruler, in our case, rulers. One being should not control an entire population. Only united can we take down this dictator and rule for ourselves. I'd rather fight for our freedom here, then return back to that hollow world we were born from." Wolf ended his speech with a heavy sigh, saying the entire thing in one breath. The three of them are strong, but not strong enough. In order to take down Wizeman, they would need their remaining members...the portal stolen.

"Chive....." Vaye accept Chive's touch, keeping him close..surprisingly, he was more upset then she was...then again, he has such a fragile heart, always reaching out for in her time of need....he truly was everything. And in her thoughts about the past...she had done something even Bella couldn't accomplish: obtain true love.
"Thank you Chive..." Vaye offered her gratitude through a kiss, but before she could, Chive jolted, "Chive, are you alright??" Vaye asked, starring at a look of fear on his face, "Answer me, please....what's wrong?"

Being gifted a hug apon her return to Puc's room put all worries to rest in Eva, forgetting the superstitions she had gone through the few moment before, in exchange for focusing on the one that matters..her most perfect thing~.
As the two began their short stroll back to Puc's soft bed, Eva couldn't help but let her mind briefly wander back to that purple mass that had placed itself on her foot...so much like her own power, but yet-...not at all like it.....so much colder...harsher in comparisson to her harshness..which even then, sadly doesn't seem anything like her old flare. But Eva isn't affraid of admitting it anymore, she knows she's changed since the days before she began spending her times with Puc..whatever that purple thing was-...it's nowhere near as important as the one beside h-....
Within the same moment as her brother in the park of amusements galore...a horrible, painful pulse shot through Eva's heart, making her stumble in their walk as she grasped for her heart.
...That pain..pulse....would could this have ment....she knows this is something, this kind of pulse she has felt before...a pulse that related to the wellbeing of those she has internal attachment to...something has happened to someone...and that person...that person..might have-..
"....Thank you...Puc.." Eva stated softly, shaking her head as she tried to shake the feelings away, not wanting to ruin this night.. "...I had..fun today..."

All that remained was that last path to Puc's bed, and they'll soon sleep their worries away. "I find it ironic, after all the enjoyment of leaving home, we come home to our enemies open armed. I guess we should be used to it by now, but it's still..." Puc paused, there was a tug on his arm, Eva almost fell. Puc wouldn't let her fatigue take her out yet, after all they've been through...he's surprised he's still standing....literally...Laying down on the comfy surface, "You're welcome Eva...tomorrow...will be better....."

"Grr.....there's nothing to do here....." SPiTE, tired and out of his mind. He searched everywhere at the Dream Gate for places to go and interesting secrets, but alas, nothing caught his fancy. The cave that led to a fast upward air current caught him by surprise, but nothing more. SPiTE could easily leave, but where would he go? Wizeman sent that devious vixen to bash him up at his return, he surely do worse if dare paraloop back to Nightmare. Where else could he be....where.....SPiTE sat up, an idea, a location came to mind. He remembered, the white room, the angry red maren. Perhaps if he asked nicely.....he could live under a roof, once again....

The pound through Eva's chest was just too much for her to leave out of her thoughts, such a thing never a good sign....never...a good sign....but even through her thoughts Eva felt Puc's guiding hand help her back up to steady feet, helping her over to his bed as they continued on their short journey to the comfy sheets it holds, before Puc set to plopping himself down, Eva soon after as soon as her coat met the floor in a neat fold.
Whatever the cuase of that pulse is-...there is no chance, little chance it could be anything ut something horrible....she knows that pulse...she knows it-...she just can't tell what it means....but she does know it means something...whatever that something is, though...it can't be avoided now.
"...Goodnight, Puc.." Eva stated softly as she curled up along Puc's side, giving him a kiss good night before resting her head on his shoulder, feeling more at ease with this tension through being able to stay near the one she loves...but she'll feel a lot better when her siblings arrive back at home.
...Both in one piece..like she hopes..

Chive was left breathless, staring with widened gaze into the air as he let the feeling in his chest pass by in its rage....coming back to the world around him from the sounds of Vaye's astonished voice. "...Something-...I.." Chive began...unsure what to say to her, he didn't want to ruin her mood....perhaps-...perhaps it's nothing at all. ...Nothing at all...it could be...could..be...
"...I just-...bit my tounge..." Chive half lied, already biting his tounge for the lie he told...to at least make it half of a true statment, "...I am sorry to have startled you like that..nothing at all is the matter....but...you are welcome..Vaye..." Chive ended, small blush on face as he gave her a quick kiss to her cheek...wishing to save her day and make it worthwhile more than anything else right now...even the feeling of dread and pain in him...it's...it's surely nothing..
...When he gets home...eva and exo will be there waiting for him..arguing infront of him....hating each other as usual...nothing out of the ordinary.
It's all fine.
