Night Life
After rescuing Leena from the wedding hall, the members of Ryong met to discuss their strategy for dealing with the fortress on the Carnival World. It was in the middle of a crowded city, where there was set to be a parade to honor Madam Luna the next afternoon. Harry was going to be directing it along with Dreg, while the queen herself was stated to appear via a videophone—she hated to travel. Hoping for a chance to take out the leaders, the resistance decided to attack at that time. They planned to get there early, and Naomi would watch for the parade's first float—since she had the sharpest eyes out of the team.
That night, they all dug themselves into the mountains outside the target town. But Cleon kept running around the camp, impatient to get it over with. "Is it time yet?" she would ask about every five minutes. To which someone else would tell her how many hours were left. Finally, she settled down and went to sleep.

"Harry," said Dreg, "You can't just sit there like a lump on a log. We have a parade tomorrow, and you need to be in tip top shape."
Harry yelled, "How could you be so insensitive? I just had my true love stolen from me again. When I next see Bit Cloud, I'll make him pay."
Dreg walked up to Harry, and slapped him in the face. "Just because you lost some girl doesn't mean you can just mope around. Maybe you should look for someone different."
"I don't want another girl, I want my Leena," screamed Harry. He returned to his corner, and continued to mope around.
Dreg sweatdropped. "I don't believe it," he exclaimed, "Our most valuable ally in this quest, and he spends all his time on one girl."

"Let's get going, the parade won't wait for us," called Bit. The rest of Ryong fell in right behind him. Then they began to march towards the city. Once there, they hid themselves in the crowd of watching people, and waited.
The wait wasn't long. Within a few minutes, the float at the start of the parade entered Naomi's view. As it came closer, it was clear that neither Harry nor Dreg was on it. So they continued to wait, until at last they saw the float that carried their enemies.
Ryu and Nina let out their battle cries, startling Harry and Dreg. At that moment, Ryong ran out of the crowd, ready for a bubble battle. The guards began to attack them in order to defend the float, but they were easily conquered.
Soon only Harry and Dreg were left. Harry instantly ran towards Bit, while Dreg attacked Bub. All of the Night Fairies—as well as the other members of Ryong—began to watch the epic matches. Dreg was quite skilled, but Bub was motivated by the dream of protecting his people. At the same time, Bit was beating the tar out of Harry, as usual. In a matter of moments, the two members of Ryong had conquered their enemies.
"So long Harry," teased Leena. Then, they all ran for the fortress, since the populace had either ran away or taken up their weapons in order to fight alongside the rebels. Harry reached out his arm towards their escape rout, hoping to grab Leena's hand. Then, he fainted. Dreg was forced to pick him up and drag him to the teleporter.
At the fortress, a new unit of guards ambushed the party. Everyone began to hammer them with bubbles, and soon the guards went down. Then, they all ran into the fortress. Instantly they began to look for the control room.
As usual, it wasn't too hard to find, since many of the architects had similar design ideas. But no one was there. "Probably was at the parade with Harry," stated Bit, "Or maybe it was Harry. That's a scary thought."
Leena agreed, "Yeah. If Harry was in command of his own fortress, I'd think this Madam Luna needs psychiatric help." Every member of The Blitz Team began to laugh at that joke. They all knew that Harry was unlikely to handle such a job.
So they all began to search for the jail cells. But after several hours of looking around the castle, they'd seen no type of prison. Their search for the slaves had drawn one big blank for Ryong. Bit asked, "What's the deal here anyway?"
Suddenly Cleon spoke up. "There is no jail in this castle. You can't chain a Night Fairy, they just slip out again. So—in order to gain our cooperation as slaves—Madam Luna's army destroyed much of our amusement parks. All the fairies on the streets are our only citizens."
Everyone stared at the young fairy. "Why didn't you tell us earlier?" asked Leena—who was clearly annoyed at this.
"I didn't think it was important. Besides, doesn't this make your task much easier?" replied Cleon. At that, the other members of Ryong facefaulted.
* * *
The next day, the Night Fairies were cleaning up their parks in order to return to their life of entertainment. All except Cleon that is. She was planning to head along with Ryong in order to go to the Planet of Sages—their next target.
So after a few good-byes, the young fairy boarded the Unity. Once everyone was aboard, the ship lifted off. As it began to fly away, all of the fairies gathered on the streets of every city on the planet. Then, they all began to wave at their heroes.

Well, were on our way again. Harry doesn't learn, does he?
