[EZEKiAL]

Roze snickered under her breath, pulling out a few tarot cards. "We're going to be together for a long time, Fox," she said through a grin. "There's no room for you in our future!"

The cards were experimental weapons that followed Nightmaren energy signatures...another one of the higher-up Nightmaren could use them like a pro.

[Aura24]

Youko's fur bristled with irritation, hissing at Roze, "What are you saying?"

[EZEKiAL]

She cackled, "I'm not going to let you steal our future from us! Scykle is MINE!" She pulled her whip out and readied the cards, grinning at the tiny fox.

Scykle slept soundly above, completely unaware.

[Aura24]

Youko growled, baring her teeth and bristling her fur.

[EZEKiAL]

Roze lunged at the Fox, cracking her whip inches above her head. "Just leave! We'll be better off without you!"

[Aura24]

Youko quickly took to the air, putting a safe distance from Roze, "You're crazy!"

[EZEKiAL]

She hucked a few of the cards at Youko, smiling. "Haven't you heard? Love is mad."

[Aura24]

Youko twirled and darted through the air, trying to avoid the cards.

[EZEKiAL]

Roze cracked her whip again, chasing after Youko. "Leave! NOW!"

[Aura24]

"Never!" Youko barked, shifting into her monster form before lunging straight for Raze, baring her jaws..

[EZEKiAL]

Roze leaped backwards, but was caught by the massive beast. She stabbed a rose into her side. "Why're you so adamant on staying?!"

[Aura24]

Youko yelped in pain, hurling Roze away then shook the rose off her side.

[EZEKiAL]

Roze stood up, slowly, holding her arm. "I...I'll...be back...but..." she growled, "I'm not going to let Scykle slip through my fingers." She dashed away through the sky, leaving rose pedals in her wake.

[Aura24]

Youko slowly took to the ground, sitting down, panting softly..

[EZEKiAL]

Scykle fell out of the tree, yawning. He looked over at his friend, then instantly jumped up and grabbed the rose from her side. "What the hell happened?!"

[Aura24]

Youko panted hoarsely, "Roze..."

[EZEKiAL]

"Dammit!" he growled, throwing the rose to the side. "I'm...so sorry, Youko!"

[Aura24]

Youko nodded slowly, "It's alright, Scykle..." She shifted back into her kitten form, looking up at Scykle.

[EZEKiAL]

He frowned, "If it weren't for me getting captured, none of this would've happened..."

[Aura24]

Youko jumped up to Scykle's shoulders, "It's not your fault."

[EZEKiAL]

He smiled, nodding. "Well, where to, now? We better stay on the run to avoid getting caught again."

[Aura24]

"I saw that winged snake hurt Scykhell really bad." Youko said.

[EZEKiAL]

Scykle sighed, looking down. "Scykhell..." he growled, clenching his fists. "We have to find out if he's alright...we may not be on the same side, but he's still my brother, dammit."

[Aura24]

Youko shrugged, "If you say so." She then crawled into Scykle's collar, "You stabbed the snake in the eye too to save Scykhell too."

[EZEKiAL]

Scykle swallowed hard. "So...is he still with the snake...?"

[Aura24]

"No. When you stabbed the snake in the eye, it went back to its world." Youko replied, "And its eye was poked bad."

[EZEKiAL]

A sweat drop formed on Scykle's forehead. "Well...what do you think we should do?"

[Aura24]

"Like you said before, check on Scykhell." Youko responded.

[EZEKiAL]

"Alright...but...we'd have to go back to Nightmare...it might be dangerous..." he sighed heavily. "Let's make sure neither of us get caught."

[Aura24]

Youko pokes her head out of Scykle's collar, nodding to him quietly.

[EZEKiAL]

Scykle sprinted ahead, toward Nightmare. He hoped Scykhell was alright, but was it really worth risking getting caught again...?

[Aura24]

Youko laid her ears back the closer they got to Nightmare; she looked about cautiously.

[EZEKiAL]

Scykle crept quietly and quickly into Nightmare, watching in every direction for any sign of an enemy Nightmaren. It was empty, completely empty.

[Aura24]

"Scykle...?" Youko also looked around, but she didn't like how it was too empty.

[EZEKiAL]

He looked around silently. "It's creepy here..." Scykle looked up at Youko. "Mhm?"

[Aura24]

"I don't like this..." Youko shivered, "It's too quiet."

[EZEKiAL]

"Me neither...let's...let's go back to Nightopia," he grumbled, clenching his fist. "It's not worth this." He started back.

[Aura24]

Youko slips back into Scykle's collar, still shivering.

[EZEKiAL]

Scykle stepped back into Nightopia, feeling empty on the inside. "Something...was odd."

[Aura24]

Youko suddenly started tossing and turning again, shivering as if she was cold and emiting a small snarling noises.
