[Bannipper]

Bannipper managed to see the ruckus below him, and Paralooped a few of the spiders. Too bad they didn't die. Otherwise, things would be too easy, I guess. "Shoot," said Bannipper, "You're finished." But just as he was abut to finish off one of the spiders, his back ached (he is an old man, after all). "My back!" he yelled. Selph, seeing his sibling in pain, cast a potent spell on him, making him young again. This was the only way Bannipper could possibly fight again. Bannipper looked at himself. He could feel all of that energy coming back to him. He was happy about this. "Thank you, brother!" thanked Bannipper, "Now, spiders...feel my wrath!!" With a single blast of light, one spider was vaporized. The others looked as if they had seen something that they KNEW was too powerful to let live. So, in anticipation for a decent victory, all of them tackled him. And yet another blast of light terminated them all. That's when more of the spiders appeared, and more numerous than before. Bannipper smirked. He liked a challenge. Especially one like this...

[InTheNightlight]

DaRKNES got up off the floor and cupped his hands, quickly forming a water-ball he threw it into the air and began making one after another. They joined with the first one until it was so big that at least six nightmaren could fit. Then he motioned his hands towards the spiders, sending the water-ball straight at them. As five of the spiders vaporized, ten more crawled out from the shadows. "Okay, now I know how Hercules felt..." He said, sighing. He began to paraloop as many as possible, only to have more come from the shadows. "Aw, COME ON!" He destroyed a few and then noticed Illusia being pulled towards a large, black spider-web. He flew over and drill dashed into the spiders, then went back to destroying the other spiders.

Meanwhile, DaYZ was also battling the spiders. He paralooped as many as possible before they pounced on him. He wasn't strong enough to lift the spiders off. He covered his hands in green aura again and blasted the spiders off. He flew up to a few and began to jab them with his Staff(after which they spontaniously exploded).

[Nyclone]

Just before the blast brought impending doom to him, he brought up a shield. The shield was able to absorb it, barely. He threw the little orb of shield and Hell and shot a jolt of lightning at it, causing it to burst. Tiny orbs of it flew everywhere, smacking into multiple things, including Wizeman. "Duck!" He put up a shield around Dusty and Selph and started dodging the blasts, Six and Nine joining him.

[Deraj]

Frosty growls. "Let's shed a bit of light on the situation, shall we?!" Frosty grabs his replicate, which had been floating in the middle of the room, and causes it to glow brightly, like a spotlight, all over the room. What it revealed was terrifying. Thousands upon thousands of the shadowy spiders, crawling all over the room.
"This doesn't make our job any easier." Frosty mutters, throwing more 'charged' shards at the spiders, hoping that the small explosions from the shards would take out multiple targets at once.

[Bannipper]

Sciimer watched everyone from his new location, which was exactly 10 miles from the Borderline. From what he saw, he knew he had to act fast. Otherwise, how would his plan succeed? He had a mechanism with him that seemed to look like some sort of communication device. "I just love science," smirked Sciimer, chuckling to himself. He turned on the machine, and the small window to the real world appeared.

Outside in the Real World, people were looking upward to a giant head of Sciimer floating above the cities of Bellbridge and Twin Seeds. "CITIZENS OF THE WORLD!!" roared Sciimer, "I AM THE ALMIGHTY GOD OF NIGHTMARE, SCIIMER THE WICKED!! I HEREBY CLAIM EARTH FOR THE NIGHTMAREN ARMS!! ALL WHO STAND IN MY WAY SHALL BE TORTURED AND BE KILLED!!! ALL WHO COOPERATE WITH ME, AND ALLOW ME TO SHAPE YOUR WORLD IN MY IMAGE, SHALL ALSO DIE, BUT QUICKLY!! SOON, HUMAN SLIME...PREPARE TO MEET YOUR MAKER!!"

The whole world heard his hysterical cackling (which sounded like a mix between Crosstich and The Joker), and slowly it turned into one big anarchy. It was a slight anarchy for now...but Sciimer had plans concerning this...Oh, did HE have plans...

[nightdreamer]

Illusia finally breaks free of the spiders just before she became a wall ornament on the shadow web and spots a shadow spider that looks different than the rest. More like a black widow spider than a shadow. "That spider! I think it's the one that's in control of all the others! I bet if we clobber that one the rest will disapper and so will the web blocking our way to that computer!"

[InTheNightlight]

DaRKNES turned,dashing toward the shadow spider. He almost made it when his feet got stuck to the web. The more he struggled, the more stuck he bacame, until he lay spread-eagle on the web. "...You know, Illusia, this isn't going all we all planned, is it?..." Illusia shook her head. DaRKNES sighed. "I thought not..." He mde a water ball with his hand, leaving the underside open. He was able to stick his head in it and began yelling his brains out. Then he got it off his head and bopped it out of the room.

While DaYZ and the others were fighting the spiders, the bubble popped near DaYZ, nearly deafening him.

"DAYZGETTHEOTHERSDOWNHERETOTHECOMPUTERROOM! ILLUSIAANDIAREGONNABESPIDERFOODIFYOUDON'TGETYOURA**DOWNHERENOW!!!! HEADEASTFROMWIZEMAN'STHRONEANDBREAKTHEWALL! NOWGETDOWNHERE!!!!"

Somehow, DaYZ was able to understand every word that blurted out. He broke the wall and called to the others. "C'mon guys! DaRKNES and Illusia are in trouble! We've got to make it to the computer room before this whole palace comes down on our heads!" He quickly flew over and dualized with Elliot. Then they all dashed through the hole DaYZ had made. On the bad side, there was a huge swirling vortex beyond it. "Oh, yeeeeaaaah...so THAT'S how DaRKNES got down there...didn't see this coming..."

[nightdreamer]

Illusia's trying to get DaRKNES free while battling the spiders but is getting overun and is soon stuck to the web beside DaRKNES despite her fight to prevent it. Illusia looks over at DaRKNES concern in her eyes. "I hope DaYZ and the others got the message or we're sunk." Suddenly DaYZ and the rest drop into the room through the swirling vortex some of the maren even end up landing on some of the spiders squishing them. Reala begins slashing the dark spiders glad to finally be able to take his rage out on something.

[Xero]

Ghost finally raced into the room, having been using his ice spider to distract Wizeman while the others headed for the computer room... and once again he was fighting alongside Reala. It still bothered him, but he ignored it. He began trying to smash the spiders, until he realized that they were pure energy... as he hit one with his hand, he focused on drawing it in, and to his surprise, it worked. He felt a little weird though... a bit light headed.
He started going after the other spiders, absorbing them into his body. But each one made him a little bit woozier...

[InTheNightlight]

DaYZ noticed his friends stuck in the web. Then after trying to supress his laughter, he burst out in a fit of giggles, which grew into a high-pithed laugh. "AHAHAHAHA! OH IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE YOURSELVES NOW! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed, pointing at them. "AH, WRONG! SO WRONG! Hey, DaRKNES, I thought you were--PHHFT! SINGLE!" He clutched his gut.

DaRKNES blushed at DaYZ's quip. "H-HEY! NO! NONONONONONO! WHEN I GET FREE, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU SUCH A PINCH!" He yelled, trying to hide his embarassment. DaYZ either didn't hear or didn't give a hoot, as he just kept giggling. DaRKNES growled, trying to free himself. He whispered to Illusia, "I know, he has a sick sense of humour..." He sucked in a large breath. "DAYZ! GET US DOWN!" He yelled.

"Alright, alright. FINE!" He drill dashed into the web, freeing them. "Thanks! Illusia! DaYZ! We need to tell everyone that the giant black widow is the boss!" They all nodded and hurried to tell the others.

[Bannipper]

"He has it..." chuckled the black widow spider in a creepy fashion. DaYS and Illusia looked at each other. But Bannipper and Selph knew just what he meant by that. "What did you say?" asked Selph. "You mean you didn't know?" chuckled the spider queen, "he has the staff. You've failed. Soon, the world will fall into chaos. We are engines of chaos." Soon Wizeman and the spider queen began to chant, "We are engines of chaos.". Soon the chanting was louder...and louder...and louder...It would appear that from what the computer moniter was showing to everyone, that every Nightopian (including Owl), nightmaren, and human in Nightopia was chanting this sentence. Sciimer was brainwashing them. It was a good thing plenty of people were not chanting this. Then things would get scary (if they weren't already). "ALL HAIL SCIIMER THE WICKED!! FOR HE IS THE GREASTEST LORD OF NIGHTMARE, AND IS THE ONLY LORD OF NIGHTMARE!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they chanted, bringing fear to all who heard it. Helen was scared. She hid behind Illusia, whom at the moment, held her. She, too, despite not understanding what was going on, knew that things were going to get dark. VERY dark.........

[InTheNightlight]

DaYZ held up his own Staff and charged at the Spider Queen, pounding it's head in. Suddenly, it's head grew back. "..." DaYZ was now VERY creeped out. "You don't watch horror movies often, do ya kid?" She asked. "In order to defeat a bewitched villain, you must strike the heart..." She sighed, aggitated at DaYZ seemingly lack of brains.

"Oooh..." He said. He then flinched, remembering how squemish he was. "See you!" He bolted towards the computer and typed in the password: WAKING. "Got it! Bannipper! Selph! Head into the Waking World! We'll catch up! Sciimer's weaknesses are right here! In order to defeat him, you must--URK!" He was interrupted by the Spider Queen grabbing his legs. "In order to defeat Sciimer, you have to USE THE STAFF! Take Selph's Staff and beat him at his own game!" He shouted across the room. Suddenly, the Spider Queen shoved him inside her jaws, undoubtedly killing him.

"DaYZ! NO!" DaRKNES yelled. Everyone knew that DaYZ was gone...

Suddenly, the Spider Queen turned green, then white, then began switching to different colors. Soon, she exploded in a green, slimy mess, DaYZ standing in her remains, his Staff held high. He noticed the look of shock on everyone's face. "Heh, you can't kill me off so easily..." He smirked as the shadows dropped dead and dissappeared in a puff of purple smoke.

[Bannipper]

"Jolly good show!" said Selph, cheering for DaYS, "Well done!" "I sense that that spider won't be bothering US anytime soon," chuckled Bannipper, "But now, all we have to do is focus upon Wizeman. We can't kill him, that would kill us, too. But I can sense that he can be of use. We may need him alive." "YAY!!!" cheered Reala, not knowing that Helen was right behind him, ready to Dualize with him. Everyone looked at Reala and Helen. They all knew what was going to happen next. And everyone was giggling at the very thought of it. "What?" asked Reala, "It's not like anything else bad is going to happen to us." Helen then Dualized with Reala, without him even knowing that she was there. Reala looked at himself. He was now just like NiGHTS, whom was laughing hysterically at him, pointing at him, too. Soon everyone began to laugh, even the brainwashed Wizeman began to guffaw. "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" roared Reala, his yell put in slow motion by Selph, to add to the humoruos moment that had just occured. "Look, I maay have SOME power that my staff left behind, but at least I can use THIS as much as I want to." said Selph, laughing with everyone else. "If only I had a camera," thought NiGHTS to himself.

[Deraj]

Frosty looks at the portal to the Waking World anxiously. He turns to his replicate. "Tell Dusty, Nyclone, Six and Nine to get their a**es down here. Now."
Reassuming his beast-like armor, Frosty jumps through the Portal to the Waking World...
And lands right on top of Twin Seeds Tower.
"Look up there!"
"What is that?!"
Frosty looks down. Despite the chaos, someone had actually noticed him.
"Pff. Locals..." Frosty mutters, waiting for Sciimer to address the Human race once more. Soon, the clouds open up and Frosty makes his move as Sciimer's face appears, jumping up into the massive face, and he is instantly transferred back into the Dream World, into Sciimer's Throne Room.
"I didn't think that would actually work..." Frosty smirks. As Frosty is surrounded by guards, he fires off a myriad of charged Shards, taking them out with ease.
"Uh-uh. Not this time. This time, it's you against us! No Wizeman to help you now!"

[InTheNightlight]

DaYZ flew through the portal, not knowing that they would end up at the top of Twin Seeds. He looked down, screamed and scrambled back to the tip, apparently the Waking World having an adverse affect on him. "Whew..." He sighed. He was only able to think for two seconds before DaRKNES, Reala and NiGHTS crashed into him, sending DaYZ spiraling down. "YIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!" He screamed.

"...Oops..." DaRKNES said. DaYZ flew back up, one of his horns twisted at an odd angle and one arm hanging limply to one side. "Great...just great! We haven't even GOTTEN to the final boss and I'm already hurt!" He sighed. They all heard the all-too-familiar cackle behind them, where Sciimer's head floated. "SCIIMER! This time you're mine!" DaRKNES and DaYZ shouted simultaneously. Selph flew out of the portal just in time to see them fly towards it. "STOP!"

Too late...DaRKNES and DaYZ hit it, but this time instead of teleporting like Frosty, they flew through it, crashing into the wall behind it. "...I hate you all..." DaRKNES mumbled.

[nightdreamer]

Illuisa flies over to them after getting through the portal herself and not adversly effected by being in the waking world. "Are you O.K.?"

[InTheNightlight]

DaRKNES poked Sciimer's huge head after prying himself off the wall. "Hmph! I knew he was a coward but this is an all-new low..." He crossed his arms. DaYZ pried himself from the wall.

"All right, Sciimer! Where are you!?" DaYZ called out.

[Nyclone]

Nyclone ran as fast as he could to Frosty, changing back to normal.

[Bannipper]

"Coward, you say?" said the voice of Sciimer, who appeared with the Staff of Selph, "Look down upon the anarchy. This is what humans are TRULY like. They are out only for themselves. They are even greedier than I am. In that sense, if not that sense alone, one might say that I slightly idolize them for it. For it is this that gives us power. And I will abuse mine, until I get what I want, when I want it. And yet, it is this very trait, which makes them fools. At least I am capable of maintaining my greed. There's is endless. I like that. But soon there will be no more need for human greed. For when this is over...Earth will become the new Nightmare!" Bannipper clanched his fists. He wanted to kill Sciimer so badly. "You are an *ssh*le!" roared Bannipper, "You're a sadist, nothing more or less, and I can tell you that you will NEVER win! Not while we still live." "I see that you are young again, and the same age I saw you last, too," Sciimer said, "That makes crushing your heart sound more amusing. After all. It was I who helped to break yours. How pathetic. You are still hung-up on Isabelle, the wh*r* that you laughably loved to death. Hehehe...loved to death...How ironic...I am so sorry for ruining it for you, old boy, but you had it coming. And now I can take you to her...BY TAKING YOU OUT!!!" Sciimer removed his mask, sparks of dark energy seeming to enter the mask, the mask teleporting into Nightopia, to some random location, which is yet to be told of. Bannipper was horrifed to see the face within. It was a disgusting decaying face, which akwardly resembled Two-Face, except the whole face was dead. "You look upon me, yet you cease to tremble in fear," grinned Sciimer to the best of his ability, "At least, unlike Isabelle, you would not have died a coward..." "Luminous Fist!" roared Bannipper, charging at Sciimer. "Dante's Talon!" roared Sciimer, charging at Bannipper, a trail of purple flames being left behind, like a jet leaving behind puffs of smoke in the air as it moved through the sky. They hit each other. Bannipper was sent flying. Sciimer was as well, but to a shorter distance. And with a cackle, Sciimer evilly stated, "Time to meet the reaper, sharmitans!"

[InTheNightlight]

DaYZ gripped his staff. He was tired of this. He sprung forward, attempting to tackle Sciimer. Sciimer saw this coming from a mile away and swung Selph's Staff like a baseball bat, hitting DaYZ in the face.

"I MISS THE WAAAAAAAAAAaaaaalls...!" They heard him yell, flying into the horizon, then they heard a "Puff!" sound, as DaYZ hit solid ground.

"...I'll give him 5 minutes to come to." DaRKNES sighed.

[Deraj]

Frosty growls, his wolf-like armor's head-piece opening up as Frosty's mouth begins to glow. 'I only have a second before he senses me back here-!' "Eat below-zero temperatures, freak! ABSOLUTE ZERO!"
"HEAVEN'S JUDGEMENT!"
"HELL'S FURY!"
"HYPERBASS TONE!"
As Frosty's Absolute Zero slams into Sciimer's back, both a beam of Light and Dark energies go whizzing by his head, hitting Sciimer at the exact same instant as his own. Meanwhile, at that exact same instant, something that felt like an earthquake seemed to pass right through Frosty, shaking him to his very core before it passed on to Sciimer, and apparently, everyone else in the group as well. As the four attacks came to an end, Frosty spins around to spot Dusty, Six, Nine, and soon after, Nyclone came through the Portal.
"Dusty? I didn't know you had something like that."
"It's more of a disabling and distracting move than anything else." Dusty says. "Unfortunately, I still can't aim it very well, because it's all sound waves."
"I noticed." Frosty says, feeling his armor begin to crack, its energy completely drained from being poured into the attack. "I almost cut off my Absolute Zero by accident, to turn around and look at you."
"I'm glad you didn't." Dusty says. "Did we do any damage?"

[InTheNightlight]

DaYZ flew back, assuming his fight position.

DaRKNES sighed. "D*mn, I guess I owe you five bucks..." He said to Reala, handing him five dollars. "Thank you very much!" Reala said, smirking. DaYZ flew towards Sciimer, aiming for his head, but missing.

"SHOOT!" He kept slicing the air, but Sciimer dodged each time. DaYZ suddenly felt a timer go off in his head. "Uh-oh!" He said as he and Elliot un-dualized, falling. "DAAANG IIIIIIIIT!!!!!" DaYZ screamed. Soon, DaYZ and Elliot flew back up, using their respective Ideya. However DaYZ had just had his power plummet A LOT because he had reverted to dreamer form.

[Bannipper]

Bannipper charged at Sciimer, this time sending HIM flying. "Take that, you wretch!" Bannipper roared with intense anger. Sciimer quickly returned to where he once was, and spat out a broken tooth. Not one person had ever managed to break out a tooth before, especially someone like Bannipper. "So the loser has a little fight in him, I see" grunted Sciimer, "Well then, bring it on!! I like a good fight! I love this job, I love it!!" "Love this, you pr*ck," said Bannipper, shooting a ball of light at Sciimer, who avoided the attack with ease. Sciimer then said, "I know how to get at your heart, boy. I know now that you are still angered by the death of that woman. I know just what to do. Bannipper, why did you let me die?!" Bannipper was furious. Sciimer was imitating Isabelle's voice, just to see him suffer. And that really was his intention, then Sciimer succeeded. Bannipper, could feel a strong agony, but an agony that gave him the power to fight. But sadly, he was off-balance (so to speak). He never hit his mark. "Come here, you wretched animal!!" Bannipper roared in anger.

[InTheNightlight]

DaYZ and DaRKNES flew straight towards Sciimer, attempting to attack. Sciimer dodged and used the Staff to knock DaRKNES into a wall and ducked under DaYZ, sending him into a wall.

"Oy..." DaYZ grunted. Selph grabbed one end of his Staff and tugged, trying to wrench it away from Sciimer. "You've caused so much pain and suffering, NOW YOU PAY THE PRICE!" Selph shouted.

[Nyclone]

Nyclone attached the black wings to his back and flew up. "Frosty! Throw me a shard!"

[Deraj]

Frosty tosses Nyclone a few shards, before grabbing another 'Beast' Shard, and the remainder of his 'Dragon' shards. "This is my last set. Let's make it big!" Frosty releases the seal on the 'Dragon' shards, turning them into pure energy, which he combines with the 'Beast' Shard. "There we go. I should have plenty of energy to throw around, now!" Frosty activates the 'Beast' Shard, which rejuvinates the Beast Armor that Frosty was already wearing.
Frosty dives toward Sciimer and Selph's Tug-of-War, firing a Myriad of Shards at Sciimer in order to 'persuade' him to let go.

[Bannipper]

"Let go of my staff, you mongrel!" roared Selph, "I have more power than you can ever have! So give up while you can!" Sciimer saw the shards of ice flying his way, and used Selph to help him get out of their way. He spun around selph, with his still holding onto the staff, to make sure not one shard could hit him. But there was one thing he DIDN'T see. Bannipper was charging up a strong blast of light. This blast, Bannipper made sure, would destroy Sciimer, as he had planned for years. "Gotcha!!" said Bannipper, shooting Sciimer with his beam of light. The attack was successful! But things would soon get worse...MUCH, MUCH WORSE. "He stole some of it..." said Selph, "He stole a tenth of my staff's power!" "WHAT?!?!" asked Bannipper. "Youare all fools for resisting me!" roared Sciimer who was now a mix between Chamelan, and a T-rex (inshort, think Chamelan's body but with the head of a T-Rex), who now wore a golden brown cape, one that seemed to be blazing with power, "Know that I control everything! Now, with me using the staff as a wand, you all will be finished." "That's because we're going to kick your butt!" said Selph, "Bannipper, let's finish this!" "Alright, brother," replied Bannipper.

[Nyclone]

"Are any of these beast shards?"

[InTheNightlight]

DaYZ had seen the transformation and gulped. He flew over to help Bannipper along with DaRKNES. They tried to rip the cape off, thinking that it was his main power source. BIG mistake. As soon as they touched it, they were catapulted across the sky.

"CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD!" DaYZ yelled. "NOOOOOOOT AGAAAAAAAIIIIIIN!"

[Bannipper]

"Black Ideya can be used for many different things, my friend," said Sciimer, making a grimace, "In this case, it keeps my cape from being torn off, making me look all the more powerful in the process. Oh, how I love Black Ideya. I was born from it, you know." "Yeah," said Selph, "Black Ideya is corrupt Ideya that evil humans create when they dream. It isolates them in their own "Dream World" and Wizeman takes advantage of this, and steals the Ideya from them. I don't know what else he does with that, but he seems to favor this Ideya." "Your knowledge only goes so far, boy," growled Sciimer, "Know that I have all the wisdom and power that your staff once brought you. And now I shall use this staff to smite your world, and that of the humans!" The merging of Nightopia and Earth was beginning. Bannipper and Selph knew that they had to act fast. Otherwise things would get hairy.

[Xero]

Ghost finally makes it through the portal, having left Reala behind and "cleaning up" what was left of the spiders. When he sees Sciimer... or at least what he thought was Sciimer, he nearly turned around to go back through the portal. Then the choice hit him.
'Reala, or death? I'll take death.' he thought to himself.
He charged forwards to where Frosty, Nyclone, and several others were using Frosty's special shards to attack Sciimer, as he tried to formulate a plan of attack in his head... maybe he could drain some of Sciimer's "black Ideya" to compensate for receiving the Staff's power?
He looked over at Frosty, but turned his attention back to Sciimer quickly.
"So... things got a little crazier, huh?"

[Bannipper]

Bannipper flew upward, attempting to sneak behind Sciimer for a surprise attack. Then he noticed it. The source of Sciimer's power in this form. Sciimer had a crown on the top of his head. The crown, apparently, was feeding power to the cape, which was how it was so powerful an item. You have a black vein of darness on Sciimer's spine to thank for this. Power was oozing into the cape, and Bannipper knew just what to do: either destroy the crown, or pop that vein of Black Ideya liquid. "Gotcha again, jerk!" said Bannipper, shooting a ball of light at the crown. Unfortunately, Sciimer was quick to react, and Bannipper was thrown downward. But from the way Sciimer reacted, Bannipper knew that his hunch was right. That WAS his current weakness. "Bannippr managed to recover from falling, and flew back up. He had a telepathic message to tell.

[Deraj]

"Just one of them. I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I threw it in there." Frosty says to Nyclone, before turning his attention to Ghost. "Yeah, looks like we bit off a bit more than we could chew here. He took four super-powered attacks, and didn't even flinch! We've got to get that Staff and Crown away from him!"
"Any ideas?"
"Just one." Frosty says, making the armor around him more dense, making it nearly impossible to see him inside of it. "And it involves nearly suicidal tactics, distractions, and, if all goes well, one big bang. Your phasing ability... Can you 'partially' phase? So you can grab someone's bones, maybe sever a few muscles and chop up a few vital organs? By bet is that with all that attack power, he sacrificed some of his ability to heal himself. All you've got to do is get in close, with me distracting him, and start cutting things up, and ripping things apart. If it works, he'll be as useless as jelly."

[Bannipper]

Selph watched as everyone fought hard against Sciimer. But then he noticed something. Nightopians were flying in the sky. This meant just one thing: Nightopia had merged with the real world! "Well that's just dandy!" growled Selph. He went off to warn anyone who didn't notice this.

Meanwhile, Sciimer and Bannipper were fighting one-on-one. Bannipper, much to, at least, a few people's surprises, managed to stay alive. "I am eternal, you little fiend!" roared Sciimer, "Know that you are no match for me!" "Now, NiGHTS!" yelled Bannipper, "Take off that crown!" NiGHTS, who was just about to take off Sciimer's crown was thrown back. Sciimer was once again quick to react. "His senses react every time his crown is about to be removed," thought Bannipper to himself, "And that vein seemed to be flowing both ways. Could the cape AND the crown be generated by that one vein??" Bannipper gained a rather ingenius idea. But he'd need to talk about it with Frostbite, though. He seemed to already be planning something of his own.

[InTheNightlight]

DaYZ tried to attack Sciimer again, but had the same results as NiGHTS. "Man, is he INVINCIBLE?!" He shouted to DaRKNES. They all noticed Selph flying towards them.

"We're too late!" He shouted. "WHAT!?" DaYZ shouted. Then, everyone noticed the multiple things happening in the skies and cities. Nightmaren and Nightopians were flying around, panicking. Down below, the streets were turning into fields and others were turning into black sand, the sands of Nightmare!

"NO!" NiGHTS yelled over the high winds. "It's the end of the world!" Reala shouted. DaYZ realized something. If everything from Nightopia and Nightmare were being unleashed..."Oh, no. Light!" He shouted. He HAD to save Light, but he couldn't leave his friends! Suddenly, he felt as though he was being ripped in two. He was immediately thrown to the side, turning back into a nightmaren. And in front of him was..."DarkJester...WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" He glared.

"Go." DarkJester said. "I'll cover for you. Go, DaYZ. SAVE YOUR FRIEND!" DaYZ understood and nodded. He flew off at high speed, catching Light as she fell. DarkJester turned and scowled. DaYZ merged with him again, but he still looked like DarkJester. "Look out, Sciimer, DarkJester's back!" He said.

NiGHTS, on the other hand, did not get ANY of this. DaRKNES explained. "Apparently, DarkJester has taken over DaYZ's body, giving DaYZ enough power to beat Sciimer--" He was interrupted by DarkJester whizzing past them. "...Or not..."

DaYZ was back to normal, and yelled, "Comic releif!" He grabbed his Staff and flew up to Sciimer. "TAKE THIS!" He shot a lightning spell at him but it failed. "...Oh, crumpets..." He said, his pupils dillating. Sciimer swatted him away like a fly. DaYZ was going to crash, and at such a high speed, it could KILL him!

He hit the wall.

[Bannipper]

The evil Sciimer was at it. He was beginning to smash buildings, to keep NiGHTS and co. distracted, so that he may kill them without interference. But Selph saw threw this lie, and aimed a magic blast of energy. Bannipper watched in surprise. But then again, Selph was always one to think on his feet. "This is for harming my brother," said Selph, aiming the magic pistol blast at the vein on Sciimer's neck. DIRECT HIT!!! Sciimer began to roar in uncontrollable pain and agony, as if he were dying. He knew he had to act fast, lest he perish. He then absorbed four-tenths of the staffs power, giving him 50 percent of it. Another gruesome transformation commenced, this time turning him into a giant floating brain with three menacing eyes, the spinal chord looking like a giant spire of darkness and bone. Within the cortex of the brain was not only the Black Ideya, but the Staff of Selph, too. "Only I have the brains to rule forever!!" growled Sciimer, "I promise you this, Bannipper and Selph! You will never be rid of me!! For I am the greatest and only true Maren to ever exist, in this world and the next, and the ones to come!!!" The brain of Sciimer was thrice the size of his past form. Not to mention people could see spiders, millipedes, and other creepy crawlies creeping on (and protecting) Sciimer in his "Twisted Mind" form. "Now THAT'S overkill," said Selph. Bannipper growled. "If he keeps holding onto that staff of yours, he'll sap all of its power!" Bannipper stated, "We have got to get it out of his hands immediately. Wait...I have a plan. I'll call Frostbite over, and see if we can freeze this guy."

DaYZ had hit the wall. But he didn't die. Quite the contrary, he was even more powerful than ever! He had sustained a bluish aura and was wearing a mask similar to Robin's mask in Batman. His staff also glowed a blue aura, but was slightly brighter. His horns had grown into three long spines and his body resembled that of anthropomorphic fox, only with his usual jester suit. And lastly, his mouth had disappeared.

He had seen the transformation and growled. "If Sciimer wants a fight, I'll give him one!" He shouted.

[Xero]

Ghost shuddered, glancing over at Frosty.
"You're sick, you know that?" he says, with a bit of a disgusted look on his face.
Frosty pondered it for a minute, before looking back at Ghost, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Yeah. I am. Well, here's an idea. Imagine it's Reala."
Ghost was about to reply, when those words sunk in.
"Done." replies Ghost, smirking a little.
But before he got a chance to even approach Sciimer, he watched as the nightmaren absorbed even more of the Staff's power.
"Aww h*ll." muttered Ghost as Sciimer's form grew more and more disturbing.
He took a deep breath, and prepared to charge in, glancing back at Frosty, only slightly.
"All right... let's try this your way."
Ghost charges towards Sciimer, leaping upwards, and phasing through him, solidifying once he got inside... this was a VERY big mistake. With all of the black Ideya coursing through his body, Ghost found himself unable to do anything other than remain idle. It took most of his energy just to fall back out of Sciimer's body. He landed on his back and remained there, his entire body surrounded by a black-ish aura. Some of the black Ideya had found a way into his body, and seeing as he was made up of Ideya, the rest of his body was rejecting it.
He felt as if he was having a heart attack, as he tried to get to his feet.
"This isn't... happening!" he choked out, finally getting back to a standing position. As he turned around to face Sciimer, he was suddenly swatted towards the wall, just managing to phase and avoid crashing into DaYZ for a second time. He ended up going through the wall and landing on the other side. As he re-solidified he hit the floor, sliding about halfway across the inside of the building. Paying no attention to any humans or Maren around, Ghost clambered back to his feet, looking a little angrier than usual. He slowly walked towards the wall, phasing back through it and joining Frosty again.
"Brilliant plan ice-head... you almost got me killed!"

Illusia looks over at Sciimer who's laughing like a maniac as he battled them. "Boy and I thought Jackle was crazy. He's practically sane compared to this guy. Not to mention a lot better looking." She blasts a piece of wall that Sciimer threw their direction before turning to Frosbite and the rest. "He's going to tear both worlds appart at this rate. Frosty can you freeze his hand just long enough for him to drop that dang staff or for one of us to get it?"

[InTheNightlight]

DaRKNES flew towards Sciimer, attempting to grab the Staff of Selph when he was off guard. Again, no such luck. He was thrown across the sky and landed in a heap in the Twin Seeds tower. "Ouch..."

DaYZ flew across the city, gathering up speed, then flying straight through Sciimer. It seemed as though it had knocked him silly, but...you know what happens...

The Staff of Selph had lost it's usual glow and was now glowing a dull green. "Hoo boy...that does NOT look good..." Reala said. Selph's mouth dropped open in a silent gasp. "He's absorbed nearly all of my staff's power!" He shouted. "W-WHAT!?" DaRKNES and NiGHTS gasped. DaYZ gasped, however no one would know as the wind suddenly picked up, drowning out all the sound nearby. "Sciimer has absorbed 3/4 of the Staff's power and is nearly unbeatable! It would take a MIRACLE to stop him!" Selph managed to tell Frosty. Suddenly, time stopped for everything but the heroes.

"Quickly, my children. Use your powers to beat Sciimer. Divided you stand no chance, but together, you are unbeatable." A female voice called from the heavens. DaYZ gasped. "You! You're the one who gave me this staff!" DaYZ called. "Long time no see, Timspay..." Selph said. Time restarted.
