Sorry, I can never seem to get a good flow on the chapters on a story. I should really make a buffer. Anyways, here's the next chapter.

I do not own NiGHTS.


Captured

Nights awoke in a dark dungeon with her wrists bound in heavy manacles. Her body felt heavy and she looked down to see a pink, metal one piece outfit. "Ugh, what hit me...oohh yeah, a half dressed guy with a relatively high voice. I'm obviously in Nightmare right now, but what's with the girly weight?"

"I don't care who started it. The point is that Jackle's arm was snapped in five places and then dislocated at the shoulder, which I find hilarious. So I'm letting you off the hook for forgetting your clothes. Just don't do it again." Reala said as he stepped through the door of the dungeon.

"Yes sir." Mutt followed him through the door, now with his undershirt, hat, gloves, and boots on. the second he saw that Nights was awake, he jumped behind reala and tried to hide, which, considering Reala was a half a foot taller than him, wasn't very hard.

Reala looked back at Mutt, then at Nights. "How the hell did this guy catch you on his first mission, when we've been actively trying to get you for years. He is actually scared of girls."

"He blindsided me with something hard and pink, which I'm pretty sure I'm wearing right now." She gestured to her current attire.

"Yeah that's his." He pointed over his shoulder at Mutt, who only tried harder to hide himself. "I suggest you hold still while he gets it off of you."

"D-d-do I-I h-have t-t-to d-d-do i-it?" Mutt peeked out from behind Reala's shoulder.

"I have no idea how the hell it comes off. Hell, I didn't even know it came off." He said before pushing Mutt towards Nights.

Mutt stood nervously and mumbled to himself for a few seconds before kneeling down and grabbing his armor by the arm holes and mumbling, "Please relax." He then jerked the armor sharply to the right, disconnecting the vest from the shorts, and quickly lifting away the front of the vest. The shorts fell to the ground with a loud sound of metal on stone.

Nights' reaction to her new freedom was almost immediate. She jumped up and, using her flight ability to give her a good deal of extra power, kicked Mutt directly in the face, causing his head to snap back. She then drove her other heel into his stomach, hard, causing him to hunch forward and giving her the opportunity to slam her leg back down onto his head and smash his face onto the hard stone floor, where he stayed.

"So much for your little friend Reala."

Reala looked down at Mutt's unmoving body and nudged it with his foot. "...Get up."

"I'd rather not. She might hit me again."

"It obviously doesn't hurt."

"It hurts my pride."

"We came down here to get your favorite pink outfit, which you left on a girl you met while half naked in the woods, and, to add insult to injury, you just got your ass kicked by that same girl. You obviously don't have any pride."

"But...but...alright." Mutt pushed off of the ground and picked up the scattered pieces of armor, then quickly stepped out of Nights' kicking range and returned to hiding behind Reala.

During the conversation, Nights was busy dealing with the fact that the boy's head seemed to be made of steel. She logically decided to clearly state to the other two people in the room about a problem that had quickly made itself known. "OWOWOWOWOW, I think my foot is broken."

Reala looked over to her and sighed, pulling a key out of his pocket. He walked over and began undoing the manacles around her wrists. "It's your own fault for attacking someone you knew nothing about. I know from experience that Mutt here can take a cannonball to the chest and walk away clean. Add the fact that his skull is almost as thick as Jackle's, and you have a broken bone and a massive blow to the ego." He finally managed to get Nights free and pulled one of her arms over his shoulders while sticking a small red gem on her forehead. "There, that should keep you from flying away for a while. Mutt, I'm taking her to the infirmary. Go do...whatever it is you do during free time. Read a book or something."


Again, sorry for the wait. I'll try to get the next one in sooner. And, for those wondering, that gem is an inhibitor that basically drops anyoune down to low level 3 status fighter.
