When Elliot regained consciousness, he found himself at the top of a cliff. The wind was freezing.
Elliot was unable to do anything but wrap his arms around his knees. In order to withstand the cold and loneliness, he bit his lips hard.
NiGHTS.......how could NiGHTS possibly be a Nightmaren?

"Elliot, can you hear me?"

It was NiGHTS! After a moment, Elliot told himself to restrain his joy.

"I've been locked up somewhere, where I can't move. There's no key, so I can't open it. I need your help."

When Elliot said nothing, NiGHTS lapsed into silence. Only 'byuo byuo' could be heard; just the sound of the wind.
Unable to stand the silence any longer, Elliot opened his mouth first.

"Are you really a Nightmaren?"

"Yes," NiGHTS' voice and feelings were cheerful as he answered.
"But, do you need to know why I was called that? I'm Mr. NiGHTS. What else is necessary?"

Elliot looked up at emptiness. Under his feet the cliff shook. Thus was Nightopia rapidly being engulfed by Nightmare.
...NiGHTS and I, we are fighting to protect Nightopia. Besides, most of all, I liked NiGHTS before. So really, what more is necessary?

"NiGHTS, I'll help you. What's the best thing to do?"

I thought as much. NiGHTS grinned broadly and laughed.

"You have conquered fear. This deep darkness, it shows the fear that haunts your heart.
Dive into the darkness, Elliot. Then you can find a solution."
"Solution?"
