Engel bit her lip in bliss. "I..." She reached out to touch Paranoia's face, to make sure he was real.

[Trash Jack]

Paranoia/Steven simply allowed her to check to make sure this was the Visitor that she knew. In fact, he got even closer to allow such a thing. The skin on his face gently touched her hand. The hoodlike Paranoia-face was ready to go back up, but Steven halted it for just this moment.

"Yes, it's me. The rest of me is still beastlike, but I'm perfectly fine with that."

He then backed up and let the Paranoia face attach to his own once more.

"But if you ever do anything like that again without learning to control it . . ."

He shuddered in fear.

"I don't even want to KNOW what would happen!"

The Paranoia face then went down to his neck again. The human face returned, as did the human voice.

"But thank you, anyway, Engel."

[DAiLiGHT]

"I only wanted him back. I didn't know it was really you. I.... I'm sorry I let my powers go out of control. When he Dreamed of me, er, when you Dreamed of me, we were so close. Then you went away and I became withdrawn. That's why I was such a jerk when I first met everybody. Why I stooped to stealing Ideya and throwing coins at people."

Engel clung to Paranoia desperately, as if he would blow away in the wind.

She noticed his hood-like face.

"How do you do that? Multiple faces. That's pretty cool."

She grinned widely.

"Better than multiple hands!" She joked, taking a jab at Wizeman.

[Trash Jack]

"Think of the Paranoia face as a sort of mask."

The Paranoia face clung to his own.

"This is the mask . . ."

The Paranoia face then came back down.

"And I am underneath!"

He paused.

"Of course, I'd certainly like having multiple hands and ultimate power, but not if it meant that I'd have to go around being evil, trying to conquer the Night Dimension, and speaking like a raspy James Earl Jones."

He paused again.

"But don't worry. I forgive you. It's basically my fault anyway."

[DAiLiGHT]

"How is it your fault?" Engel asked sadly.

[Trash Jack]

"Because, if I hadn't left, then you wouldn't have wanted to do those things."

The Paranoia face returned.

[DAiLiGHT]

"It wasn't your fault you had to leave. I realize this now." Engel gave Paranoia a hug, again holding him as if he were fragile glass.

[Evil Reala]

Angela watches Engel hug Paranoia as she sat under the tree and sighed.

Youko was resting near a lake far from her friend, she was still upset over what she did when she was a monster. She was startled when she heard the snarls of Seapos wandering around. The kitsune laid still and hoped they would leave her alone, then she saw them walk away.

A young and charming, black kitsune appeared from the side of the lake after seeing the Marens walk away. His eyes twinkled orange with a tinge of red and his features almost resembled Youko, but was a little older and was around her age. The black kitsune turned to Youko and asked in a young, boyish voice, "Did it wake you?"

"If you must know, yes." Youko replied, looking to the male.

"Troublesome Marens, Seapos..." The black kitsune remarked.

Youko agreed, calming down while looking to the kitsune, "Yeah."

[The wise Kitsune]

Grape was asleep under a tree. She was in her regular form again, and woke up. She walked over to her friends. "Hey guys...whats going on?"

[Aura24]

The black kitsune cleared his throat and introduced, smiling a wicked grin, "My name is Yori." His tails swayed slowly behind him.

"Charmed, I’m sure.” Youko replied, her tails danced lazily in the air behind her. The kitsune turned to Yori and looked at him. She could see that he loved her; perhaps he would love her more if he knew who she was.

Yori said, walking toward Youko, “You’re more beautiful than any other creature in Nightopia, Youko.”

Youko blushed, Yori had such charm. "Thanks." She looked at Yori, and for the first time, she had a loving gleam in her eyes. “Yori,” She muttered tenderly.

Yori looked at Yori, his eyes gleaming tenderly as he smiled, "Youko..."

[DAiLiGHT]

Engel suddenly got the sudden urge to sing something. She broke her hug from Paranoia and turned towards the sun in the sky.

"I can feel the summer
I can feel the rain
I can feel forever
Love and joy and pain

I can feel forever
I can feel the same
I can't stop myself
From going insane

From Nightmare to L.A.
From the Dream World to the streets
I can wave a hand
Pure across the land

And I can find myself a way."

Engel's song rang from her throat like a chorus of bells.

[Aura24]

Yori and Youko perked up when they both heard a voice singing from afar.

"Who is singing that song?" Yori asked.

Youko listened, "It's sounds familiar."

[andersam]

"Gee, let's see..." Grahm said, turning to Grape. "Sam's a visitor again, Paranoias a visitor, And oh, yes, We just learned TORiAS's is the freakin creator of nightopia!" He started to breath heavily, 'gosh, am i ever gonna get a break?' Grahm thought.

"gee, should I call you Stephen or Paranoia now?" Sam asked upon Engel finishing her song. "At least I can't complain about being the only Dreamer in the group now!" Sam laughed

[The wise Kitsune]

"I though true human thoughts and the Great Mother created Nightopia..." Grape said to herself "Thats what Mother told me...she wouldn't lie, would she?

[Aura24]

Yori and Youko didn't hear the song anymore once it ended.

Youko said, looking to the distance, "That was probably one of my friends."

"You have friends?" Yori asked.

Youko nodded sadly, "Yeah. But I don't think they'll like me anymore, not after I almost killed some of them. They probably don't even know I'm gone now."

[andersam]

"I doubt someone like the Great mother would lie...." Grahm folded his arms across his chest and thought. "Theres something weird here..."

[The wise Kitsune]

"Hm..."Grape put a finger on her chin "Who is right? Great Mother..."

[andersam]

"who's this great mother person, anyway?" Grahm asked

[Aura24]

"Well, I'm sure they're busy discussing matters of their own." Yori said.

Youko scoffed, "Yeah, maybe. One of my friends, I think is Engel, said my friends liked me and I thought they would care about me too. Heck, they even saved me from being a bloodthirsty monster. If they really cared about me, then they would go and find me by now; they would know what why I felt said. It appears...I was wrong." The red kitsune turned and began walking away sadly, heading to the far distance of Spring Valley.

Yori closely followed Youko, never leaving her side.

[The wise Kitsune]

"The Great mother is to Nightopia the Wizeman is to Nightmare; She created Nightopia, and Ideya, including Purple for Creativity, and Pink for Passion. She made me to hold this Ideya, and as a Dream persona." She paused "But...Wizeman Killed her...leaving Nightopia unruled..." Tears filled her eyes.

[Aura24]

Youko was falling more deeply in love with Yori the longer she was with him. Clearly, he was doing the same. Hopefully, Youko would be his mate. All he had to do was tell her about his life, and make her feel comfortable with him. Yori had already done that. As the kitsunes reached the border of Spring Valley, Youko stopped when she along with Yori saw a large horde of Marens marching through the plains.

"They just never give up." Youko growled.

Yori said, "I have never seen a horde of Marens this big."

Youko turned to Yori, "They must be after Grape and the others. We got to warn them after the Marens." The kitsunes turned around to run, but saw a a few Marens standing and floating in front of them. Gasping, both Yori and Youko scurried away from the advancing Maren horde.

[andersam]

"hey, Hey! don't cry!" Grahm said, quickly hugging Grape. "Thats why were here, right? We've gone through....I've lost count, but we've made it through all these struggles, right?"

[The wise Kitsune]

Grape wiped her eyes and smiled "Yeah...Its just I miss her...It was hard losing her. And now, I dont know the truth. Im just confused." She sat down.

[Aura24]

Yori and Youko attacked the nests again, this time. However, the kitsunes only attacked half the number of Marens as before, because they were attacked. Yori and Youko were halfway to where Grape and the other are, and Yori heard loud snarling. His jaw dropped when he saw the huge army of Marens blocking their way. The kitsunes, in desperation, split up. Half of the Maren went after Youko and the other half blocked Yori from getting back to his new friend and mate.

It was only when Youko got far away from the Maren that she realized that she was separated from Yori. "Yori?" She looked around. "Yori??" She was about several feet from the horde of Marens she escaped from, by a large tree. Suddenly, something jumped down and pinned her to the ground; it was a Maren. Then, seven more came and pinned her down.

[DAiLiGHT]

Engel saw a large horde of Marens at the edge of the cliff. Hey, she had good eyesight. And there was Youko and another with them. "Paranoia! Grape! Everybody! Youko's in trouble! The Marens are attacking!" She cried. "We gotta get down there!" She cried, floating up into the air in a wobbly pattern.

[Aura24]

The Marens laughed evilly as Youko squirmed to get away. She had one last choice for escape. “YORI!! GRAPE! ANYBODY!!” She screamed. She was scared! She wanted her friends to come out of the blue and save her! She wanted their protection; she desperately hope that they would save her! A large Maren grabbed Youko by the throat, and prepared to bite her in the head.

[DAiLiGHT]

Engel flew down. "Don't worry, Youko, I gotcha." Engel tried to shove the Maren off of Youko. She struggled with the weight before finally getting it off. "Come on, let's go." Engel said.

[Aura24]

Youko leapt into Engel's arms.

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

"NO, he is not your father ViXEN. HE is mine, Wizeman's and the other gaurdians ONLY." ViSiON responed.

[Aura24]

Worried, Youko looked at Engel, "What have to find Yori! He's a friend!"

[The wise Kitsune]

Grape lied down under a tree. She looked up at the eternally cheerful sky through the swaying branches. Suddenly, the lonely door opened slowly and Dani came. She found and joined Grape under the tree. "Hey..What's wrong?" She asked. "Nothing..just a bit preoccupied..."Grape answered, still looking at the sky.

[andersam]

Sam turned and saw Dani "Hey!" she called, glad to see her. "boy did you miss a lot!"

[DAiLiGHT]

"Then let's find him!" Engel cried. "Come on!" Engel looked over at the Marens, who were now recovering and regrouping. "I don't think this is going to end well...." Engel commented dryly, looking at the hordes of Marens.

[Aura24]

Youko held onto Engel.

Yori was busy fighting off the Marens, but it only made them angry. They managed to corner the black kitsune near the edge of a cliff.

[The wise Kitsune]

"Hey Sam!" Dani made a confused face "Wait...didn't you wake up from the coma?!"

[andersam]

"naw... my heart just restarted. the fact that I'm still here proves I'm still in a coma, right?" She took a seat next to Dani. "why? did something happen?" It felt so odd to talk about something like this so causually....

Grahm had silently noticed the black kitsune and the marens. "Here i come to save the DAAAYYYY!" he cried, dive bombing into the nearest Goodle

[Aura24]

Yori noticed Grahmn tackle a Goodle and looked at him, "What is that Maren doing?" He muttered, but backed away from his enemies until he reached the very edge of the cliff.

[DAiLiGHT]

Engel gulped and grimaced. "Let's hope that crazy Maren can get that Goodle to work properly." Engel said, noticing Grahm up above.

[Aura24]

"Yori, up here!" Youko shouted from above.

Yori looked up and saw Youko near Engel, then flew toward her, almost getting bitten by a Maren.
