"Don't assume your dreams are just fantasy. If you can imagine a world, believe in it. And dive in."
Nocturne was just a bit blue today of what happened this morning at Camden Town, before leaving this morning.
Nocturne: (Sighs, but she knew what she has to do) I'm going back to Camden Town to find out who I really am.
(Timeskip - Afternoon) (After School)
[Nightfall City - Hotel Betwixt - Penthouse]
Nocturne was in her room thinking about her vision, until someone knocked on her door.
Nocturne: Come in! (The door opened and Serenade appeared behind the door)
Serenade: Hey sis, I see that you're back from your "Relaxation Vacation". I think it went pretty well, except of you being lost after all.
Nocturne: I have to go back to Camden Town.
Serenade: Huh? Why?
Nocturne: (Sigh) Promise me that you won't tell anyone about what I'm about to tell you?
Serenade: I promise you, sis! From the bottom of my heart!
Nocturne: Cross your heart and hope to die?!
Serenade: (Sigh) I won't tell the other girls.
Nocturne: Alright. While I was in school, I had a vision. There was 99 dalmatian puppies, but not like Dolly and Dylan had. But there were two adult dalmatians in the mix and to make things even weirder, a boy was appreciated by them and I almost like...I know this person.
Serenade: Really? Oh my, I didn't know that even happened to you.
Nocturne: Yeah and I was wondering if you can join me in my mystery, my dear sister.
Serenade: (Gasp) Really?
Nocturne: Yes.
Serenade: Alright! Well, what are we waiting for? To Camden Town!
Nocturne: Indeed, we shall.
(One trip to Camden Town later)
Nocturne arrived at the park with Serenade as a Boltund and they were on a mission to solve the mystery behind Nocturne's vision!
Serenade: Whoa, I'm a Boltund now! Huh, I guess me and Aria must've switched forms while Aria was in a rush.
Nocturne: You think? Besides, she's always in a rush to go on a mission early or if I call her.
Serenade: Okay, where should we go first?
Nocturne: I think we'll go stop by Dolly and Dylan's place first, that's what my vision showed me about another litter of puppies and two adult dalmatians.
Serenade: Got it, sis! (She then hears something) Wait, I hear something.
Serenade hears someone panicking, it sounded like there's someone's in trouble!
Serenade: Sis, follow me! (Ran towards the sound)
Nocturne: Wait Serenade, don't leave me all alone! (Went after Serenade)
Nocturne followed Serenade throughout Camden Town and when they were by the residential district, they saw a gang of Heartless in a circle and they're Crescendos playing their music.
Nocturne: Heartless! (Noticed something odd) Why are they in a circle?
Serenade noticed something in the middle and as she went a little closer, there was a dalmatian covering its ears.
Serenade: Hey, there's a dog in the middle and I think it's scared of the noises that the Heartless are producing!
Nocturne: We gotta help him! (Summons her keyblade to save the dalmatian)
Serenade: I'm right behind you! (Summons her keyblade, Sweet Dreams to fight off the Heartless and save the dalmatian)
The two girls were fending off the Crescendos with their power and as they were fighting, one of them was playing a tune that made it heals its allies.
Serenade: (Got upset) Aw, what?! No fair!
Nocturne: Shoot! We got to stop them before they heal themselves again!
They fought the Heartless once again and before they were done, one of them was playing a tune that made more Heartless appear.
Serenade: (Getting angry) Really?! These Heartless are getting very annoying!
Nocturne: I agree, we better take these out super fast!
After fighting the remaining Heartless, they took out the last one and they were finally gone. For good.
Nocturne: Show's over!
Serenade: (Angry) And don't mess with me and my sister, okay?!
Deepak: (Worried) Is it safe? Are they gone?!
Nocturne: Yes, you're safe with us. (Noticed the dalmatian) You look a bit different from the other dalmatians. You're black and white. (Gasp) Just like the yin and yang!
Deepak: Yes and I would like to thank you with handling those monsters that was in my way of my path to peace.
Nocturne: Path to peace? What's that?
Deepak: I'm trying to gain inner piece of my inner cat with Guru Miaow.
Serenade: (Calms down a bit) Guru Miaow? Who's that?
Deepak: He is a mentor to those who want to find inner peace with cats, but I think that all animals should gain the respect they need and you two have my respect.
Nocturne: Thanks, I guess. Come on, let's head back to Dalmatian Street where you belong.
The girls and their dalmatian friend went inside the house and as they were by door,Nocturne rang the door bell and heard some device activating.
Dylan: (Opens the door and sees his gal pal) Nocturne! You're here! (Sees Serenade) And who's this person?
Nocturne: This is my sister, Serenade. She's like my sidekick!
Serenade: Yes indeed! I'm Serenade, I'm like a super dog who's ready to play, battle and have a good time!
Dylan: Well it's very nice to meet you, Serenade.
Nocturne: Dylan, I found one of your dalmatian siblings. (Shows Dylan Deepak who's calm and worried at the same time)
Dylan: Deepak! Thank dog, I've been so worried about you. Where have you been?
Deepak: I was relaxing by the park and doing my morning meditations, until some monsters appeared and interrupted my routine and I ran back to the house as fast as I can, but there were more monsters blocking my way and cornered me. But these two ladies saved me from them and now I'm giving them my gratitude!
Dylan: Really? (Looks at the two dogs) Well I got to say, you two know how to deal with those monsters. I mean Heartless.
Nocturne: Don't mention it.
Serenade: It was our pleasure, Dylan!
Dylan: Why don't you two come on in and maybe try to make Deepak feel calm while you're relaxing.
Nocturne: Alright then. Come on, Serenade. You two, Deepak.
Serenade/Deepak: Okay!
The girls went inside along with Deepak to the living room to calm him down after one encounter with the Heartless.
Deepak: Alright ladies, since you help me get rid of those monsters, I will teach you the way of Guru Miaow. We shall do this together, ready girls?
Nocturne: It's been a while since I did yoga, but I think I will do just fine. Even though I'm a bit...rusty.
Serenade: A good stretch is a happy stretch, that's what I always say before a good mindfulness exercise.
So, the girls followed Deepak in a set of poses that made them feel all chilled out. First, they did the Downward Dog pose. Second, they did the Upward Dog. Third, they did the Compass pose. (Which is a little bit weird for the girls) Fourth, they did the Happy Baby pose. Fifth, they did the Supported Fetal pose. Sixth, they did the Supine Twist pose and finally, they did the adorable Puppy pose. As a bonus, Deepak showed the girls his Cat pose and the girls followed him as they also do the Cat pose. They were finally done with their stretching and felt so relaxed.
Deepak: How do you feel now that you're all relaxed and calm with Guru Miaow's key to balance?
Nocturne/Serenade: (Relaxed) Yeah.
But while they were all relaxed, there was a commotion outside at the backyard.
Serenade: Huh? What's going on back there?
Nocturne: I don't know, let's go see.
When they got outside, the dalmatian puppies were looking at these walking mushrooms that were wandering around their surroundings.
Serenade: (Looks at the mushroom) Hold on, isn't that a Heartless? (Summons her keyblade) (Mouthful) Don't worry, I'll get rid of it!
Nocturne: Wait! (Looks at the White Mushroom) I think it's not hostile, look how's it's curious about it's needs.
The White Mushroom was walking around the area and thinking, Serenade was very confused about what's it doing here in the backyard.
Nocturne noticed that the mushroom was shivering, as her instincts came in and casts fire on it with her keyblade. It made the mushroom super happy!
Deepak: Ah, I see that there's one monster that's not violent and wants to feel happy in peace. Just like me doing Guru Miaow's teachings.
The mushroom is now spinning around and around, with that in mind, Nocturne casts aero on it and it felt happy again.
Serenade: Whoa, what kind of Heartless is this? Why is Nocturne dealing with this matter? We should take it out right now!
Then, the mushroom was floating in the air and Nocturne casts gravity on it, as the mushroom was very happy and left with prizes left over.
The dalmatian puppies applauded Nocturne's act of courage as she felt a bit proud, while Serenade was a bit like "What?".
Deepak: (Sees the prizes) Oh, it looks like it left with these gifts to you, Nocturne. (Gives the gifts to Nocturne)
The gifts were Lucid Shards and Lucid Gems, this made Nocturne wonder about something. As she put the shards and gems in her bag.
Nocturne: Mother told me about these kinds of Heartless. "If you give the White Mushroom what it needs, then you'll gets some very good goodies indeed".
Serenade: Whoa. That was a bit weird, but okay.
Deepak: Maybe if you give them what they need with your weapon, that way you'll get more gifts. (Got an idea) Nocturne, that weapon. May I take a look at it?
Nocturne: Sure, if you like. (Gives Starlight to Deepak)
Deepak: Wow, there's an unusual power beyond this blade and (Gasp) It can give me the courage to stop being scared and become something that I want to be, a dog that's brave and strong with the power of the keyblade, along with the ways of Guru Miaow by my side! I'll bring inner peace to this world!
The dalmatian puppies applaud Deepak's speech as he gave Nocturne her keyblade back and felt very proud deep within his heart.
Nocturne: (Felt like that she's being watched) Huh? (Saw the person that was watching Nocturne) A Zoroark?
The Zoroark was looking at Nocturne with curiosity, but when Nocturne tried to walk on over to the Zoroark, it instantly vanished into the darkness.
Nocturne: Wait, come back! (She then heard something in her head)
Mysterious Voice: (Telepathy) When the time comes, you'll see me again.
Nocturne: Mother? Is that you?
Lune: (Telepathy) It is me, Moonshine. I'm somewhere in Camden Town and I saw you bequeath that dalmatian, you even bequeath the other dalmatians as well.
Nocturne: Bequeath? What do you mean?
Lune: (Telepathy) It means you're lending your power to the dalmatians and you've also passed down your power to Zee Zatara.
Nocturne: (Shocked) What do you mean by that? How did you find out?!
Lune: (Telepathy) I had a feeling and I just want to say is.
Nocturne was sweating with anxiety, she found out that her own mother was passing down her power to other people and she was scared about her mother was about to say.
Lune: (Telepathy) I'm very proud of you.
Nocturne: Huh?
Lune: (Telepathy) Yeah, I did that as well when I was young. Besides, not only that I found my sweetie, Soleil. But I also gained allies and loved ones as well.
Nocturne: (Still shocked) Really?!
Lune: (Telepathy) Yes. There were a lot of people who supported me and my wife, Soleil. (Sigh) She was a keeper. Now it's your turn, Moonshine.
Nocturne: (Sigh) I can't believe this is happening.
Lune: (Telepathy) Gather potential keyblade wielders from every world and maybe gain some loved ones along the way. Perhaps, you'll start a harem too. (Giggling)
Nocturne: Ha-ha-ha, very funny. But you're right, mother. It's my time to shine and nothing will stand in my way. Not the Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed!
Lune: (Telepathy) That's the spirit! Well, au revoir and we'll see each other when the times right!
Nocturne: Au revoir, mother.
Serenade: Nocturne, who are you talking to?
Nocturne: My mother. She's here in Camden Town and we need to find her.
Deepak: You're mother is here? (Gasp) So I was right, you can talk to spirits from the great beyond!
Serenade: Actually, it's called telepathy.
Deepak: Well, that works too. But anyways, Nocturne, it is my great honor that you'll leads us toa bright future. (Licks Nocturne)
Nocturne: Aw, thank you. (Licks Deepak) Tell Guru Miaow that there will be inner peace in this house and for the future ahead of us.
Deepak: I think I will! It's an honor to be by your guidance, Nocturne. I bid you farewell. (Left back inside the house)
Serenade: I think I'll play with the children, Nocturne. Besides, I think they're friendly...in this sort of way.
Nocturne: Yeah, I think I'll relax for a bit. While I think about what my mother said.
(A few minutes later)
Nocturne: (Thinking) Find potential keyblade wielders? (Summons her keyblade) What does my mother mean by...passing my power to those who have potential? Hmm?
But when she was thinking about passing her power, someone was tapping on Nocturne's fur.
Nocturne: (While thinking) Serenade, not now.
But then, she felt the tapping again. But this time, she was getting a bit annoyed.
Nocturne: Serenade, I'm busy. Aren't you playing with the puppies? (Went back to thinking)
For a third time, Nocturne felt the tapping again and this time, she was getting upset.
Nocturne: Serenade, what do you want?! (Turned around and saw no one) Huh? What the?
Dimitri 1: (Takes Nocturne's keyblade) Yoink!
Nocturne: (Sees the one who has her keyblade) Hey!
Dimitri 1: Is this your magic wand?
Nocturne: No and give that back, that's very special to me!
Dimitri 1: Oh, is it now? Well then, you better come and get it or it will become my wand. (Laughing while running away)
Nocturne: Oh no, you don't! Get back here! (Ran after Dimitri 1)
As she was running after Dimitri 1, Nocturne was in hot pursuit when she was after the one who took her keyblade. No one steals Nocturne's keyblade and gets away with it.
Dimitri 1: (Whispering) Psst! Bro, your turn! (Gives the keyblade to his brother, Dimitri 2)
Dimitri 2: (Whispering) Got it, bro. She'll be in for a wild ride.
Nocturne: (Sees the dalmatian with her keyblade) There you are!
Dimitri 2: What's the matter? You don't want this magic wand?
Nocturne: It's not a magic wand, it's called a keyblade.
Dimitri 2: Nah, it's a wand. (Gasp) Look out!
Nocturne: Huh? (Turns around and heard laughing behind her) Why you?!
Nocturne then chased after Dimitri 2 in the house and she was hot on Dimitri 2's trail. Until, she got tripped by one of the toys that were lying down on the floor.
Dimitri 2: (Whispering) Hey bro! You're up! (Gives the keyblade to Dimitri 3)
Dimitri 3: (Whispering) Time to give that lady, a wild goose chase of her life.
Nocturne: (Sees the dalmatian with the keyblade) Not so fast, keyblade thief!
Dimitri 3: You mean, this special wand? (Looks at Starlight)
Nocturne: Yes, it's mine. (Sigh) Now be a good little dog and hand it over, please?
Dimitri 3: Okay.
Nocturne: Really?!
Dimitri 3: Nope! (Ran away from Nocturne)
Nocturne: (Sigh) Well, looks like I have no choice.
Dimitri 3 was running for his life and noticed something strange, Nocturne isn't chasing them. Maybe she gave up. Or did she?
Dimitri 1: Bro! Over here! (Waving his arms to signal his brother to come here)
Dimitri 3: (Panting) Hey, something's wrong.
Dimitri 1: Look, just give me the wand and she won't catch you.
Dimitri 3: She wasn't chasing me, I knew she was planning to chase me.
Dimitri 1: But?
Dimitri 3: She wasn't. (Gasp) You don't think she found out, do you?
Dimitri 2: (Came out of the background) Found out about what?
Dimitri 1/3: Our prank! (They heard tapping on the floor)
Dimitri 2: What's that sound?
Just then, the keyblade vanished from Dimitri 3's paw and noticed that there's fog coming from outside of the backyard. To make things weirder, the dalmatian puppies are running away from something.
Puppies: (Running away) She's coming!
Dimitri Trio: Who's coming?
Serenade: (Running, while screaming) It's her, my sister! She's gone crazy mad and she's hunting down naughty children and takes them in her trap.
Nocturne: (Off-Screen Singsong) Oh, little children!
Serenade: She's here! Save yourselves! (Drops marbles on the floor, while running away) (Thought) Alright, Nocturne. Looks like it's showtime. (Laughing) Those troublemakers are in for it now!
Dimitri 1: Come on, let's get out of here!
Dimitri 2/3: I agree!
The Dimitri Trio were about to run for their lives, until they were slipping on marbles and they were stumbling a lot.
Nocturne appeared in a grim reaper cloth and she used her keyblade to place the Dimitri Trio in barriers and they were trapped.
(Meanwhile outside)
Serenade: (Laughing with the dalmatian puppies) Good acting, puppies. Now all Nocturne has to do is to give those troublemakers a lesson of never taking anyone else's stuff.
(Meanwhile with Nocturne)
The Dimitri Trio were in fear as Nocturne came closer and closer to them as she was ready to give a performance of her life.
Nocturne: So...it was actually you three who's trying to keep my keyblade away from me.
Dimitri 1: We're sorry for taking it, we just wanted to mess with you with our prank. Our prank is just harmless, we weren't trying to make you mad. We just wanted to mess with you for a bit, because we want to give you our respect of how you take down those monsters.
Dimitri 2: Yeah, we just want to get to know you better by playing with your wand. We didn't mean to make you upset.
Dimitri 3: Now that you've figured out that we're triplets, can you please forgive us and don't trap us forever and don't tell mum and dad. Please?
Nocturne: Well...since you're confession is true...and all you three wanted to do is gain my respect. (Takes off her hood and smiles) Okay.
Dimitri Trio: Really?!
Nocturne: Yup! (Licks their cheeks) Seriously, I didn't know that there would be triplets in this family.
Dimitri 1: You didn't? But how did you know?
Nocturne: When I was chasing you, I saw the number on your chains. The first one I was chasing was one, then there's the second one is two and the last one is three.
Dimitri 2: Wow, it looks like your smarter than Dawkins.
Dimitri 3: You are one clever lady.
Nocturne: Thank you. (Released the Dimitri Trio from their barriers) Now come on, you three. Let's go outside and get to know each other. Properly.
Dimitri Trio: Okay.
(Meanwhile at the backyard)
Dolly: Wow, Nocturne is a hardcore prankster. Huh?
Dylan: Yup, now that Dimitri 1, Dimitri 2 and Dimitri 3 know not to prank our guests. They'll probably be on their best behaviors with the others.
Serenade: You knew that they were up to no good.
Dylan: Yes. Those three can be a handful, but they always love a good prank.
Dolly: That's how they roll and no matter what, we still love them.
Serenade: I hope my special video camera on my sis' collar would show you how she and the trio are doing.
Serenade's holographic projector showed how Nocturne and the trio are doing and her phone is doing the trick as the dalmatian family watched.
(Meanwhile with Nocturne)
They were all walking along the streets of Camden, chilling out and relaxing by the sunlight. Until they saw something going on at the park.
There was so many treasure chests that was laying for all the animals to enjoy. It says: "The Animal Treasure Hunt". This is kind of sketchy.
Dimitri 1: Whoa, check it out! The Animal Treasure Hunt! This is an animals only event and the rules say whoever gets the most treats that are inside of the treasure chests will win a fabulous prize, a bag of dog biscuits.
Dimitri 2: If we had those biscuits, we would be in fine dining right now.
Dimitri 3: Yeah and maybe our new friend would share it with us. You will help us, right?
Nocturne: I don't see why not, but remember, no pranks or we will be disqualified. That's also one of the rules. "Cheat and you will face disqualification".
Dimitri Trio: Got it!
And so, Nocturne and the Dimitri Trio signed themselves up for the great treasure hunt.
Announcer Dog: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the Animal Treasure Hunt. Here we have our four teams ready to compete for the bag of biscuits. So, you know the rules.
(One rule explanation later)
Announcer Dog: So, is everyone ready?
Nocturne: Ready, boys?
Dimitri Trio: Ready, ma'am!
Announcer Dog: Ready, set, GO!
The dogs made their mark as they were rushing and opening the treasure chests and gain points along the way. Without cheating or pranks.
The battle was fierce and everyone was gaining points along the way, but there's something way off by those treasure chests.
Dimitri 1: Nocturne, there's something very odd about the treasure chests. (Looking at the treasure chests as they were shaking like crazy)
Dimitri 2: I agree, this is getting a bit too weird and sketchy. We need to check it out, just to be sure.
Dimitri 3: Nocturne, think we should check it out?
Nocturne: I agree. This is getting way too sketchy. I've seen a lot of competitions and there's always obstacles in their way. But this is getting way to...easy.
Just then, one of the dogs got attacked and guess what? It was the treasure chest itself! But it was actually a Heartless known as the Pretender.
The Pretenders were hurting and capturing the animals inside of their trap, everyone except for the Dimitri Trio and Nocturne.
Nocturne: What's going on? (Gasp) Boys, hide!
Dimitri Trio: Yes, ma'am! (Hid in the bushes with Nocturne)
Announcer Dog: (Evil laughter) Yes, the plan has been accomplished. Now his majesty would be praised by our work, my soldiers. This contest was nothing but a facade. Now that there are so many animals to capture, Nocturne would obviously come and rescue them.
Dimitri 1: Nocturne? What does that announcer want to do with her?
Announcer Dog: Now the pieces are in place. (Transforming into a Darkling) Now let's see if our prey can come by.
Dimitri 2: The Announcer Dog was a monster?!
Nocturne: No, it's even worse. A Darkling.
Dimitri 3: A "Darkling"? What's that?
Nocturne: A Heartless that's corrupted so many keyblade wielders for generations, they succumb to the darkness and they'll become servants to the darkness within.
Dimitri Trio: Oh no.
Nocturne: I bet that there isn't any dog biscuits, maybe. (Gasp) It's Lux!
Dimitri Trio: Huh?
Nocturne: I'll explain later, right now. (Summons her keyblade) (Mouthful) We've got some animals to save.
Nocturne rushed into the scene as she was going for the Pretenders very quietly and when she tapped on one, she quickly dodged it's surprise attack and attack the Pretender.
Dimitri 1: We need to help her!
Dimitri 2: But how? We don't have any weapons.
Dimitri 3: But we can prank them, it got us into a lot of messes, maybe it can help our girl.
The Dimitri Trio is hatching up a plan to help Nocturne deal with the Heartless and the Darkling that's commanding them.
As for Nocturne. She took out a lot of Heartless as she was getting exhausted and she was getting really tired saving the animals from their imprisonment.
Nocturne: Everyone, get to safety! (The animals were running for their lives as the Darkling showed himself)
Darkling: Well, if it isn't the Dragon Princess herself. I see that you came all this way to help out these poor animals from their fate.
Nocturne: If you weren't around here, then you wouldn't be harming them! But here's the real reason, why are you here?
Darkling: The contest was all an act, there aren't even biscuits at all. They're actually Lux contained within this bag.
Nocturne: I knew it! So you're here for the animals instead of the humans?!
Darkling: Of course. Because in this world, the humans are the pets and the pets are the humans and what better way to gather the light is from the animals themselves.
Nocturne: No. That's messed up. These animals are like innocent bystanders and even though the humans take care of them, that doesn't mean that you'll take away their hearts?! I mean, that's animal abuse!
Darkling: Animal abuse? Says the devil woman who wants to make a certain dalmatian litter into a fur coat.
Nocturne: You're talking about Cruella De Vil, aren't you?
Darkling: That's right, unfortunately, she's in prison right now and it's all because of the dalmatian family! (Growling) Their light would be a precious offering to my masters.
Nocturne: I won't let you touch them, I'll protect the dalmatian family with my life and that includes my family too.
Darkling: I see, the other remaining princesses is another reason why I'm here. The Dog Princess is near somewhere and the Queen of Darkness is here too.
The Dimitri Trio are quietly setting their prank trap above the Darkling as quietly as they could, so that they wouldn't be spotted by the Darkling.
Nocturne: (Sees the Dimitri Trio and stayed quiet) So...you're saying that there's another one of my sisters? Here? In Camden Town?!
But when the Darkling was about to answer, Dolly, Dylan and Serenade rushed on over to the park as they saw Nocturne facing off.
Dylan/Dolly: Nocturne!
Serenade: Sis!
Nocturne: Dolly? Dylan? Why did you come here?
Serenade: We came here to help you get rid of the Darkling. (Summons her keyblade)
Darkling: Oh, the Sheep Princess has arrived her beloved sister and you two. (Got angry) This is all your fault! If Cruella's nephew hadn't gotten in the way, then I wouldn't offer your lights to my masters!
Dolly: First off, Hunter did what's right to my family! He helped us be free from her grasp.
Dylan: Cruella's the true enemy and Hunter was misunderstood, all he ever wanted was be loved and all Cruella wanted was a new fur coat made out of. Well, us!
Darkling: (Still angry) That doesn't matter! All that matters is that Cruella failed me! Now it's my turn and I'll get your light! One way or another! (Concentrated his power)
Dolly: Uh-oh.
Dylan: What's he doing?
Nocturne/Serenade: You two, get down!
Darkling: Your hearts are mine! (Powered up his strength) Say goodbye to your light!
Dimitri Trio: (Off-screen) I don't think so!
Darkling: Who's there?
Dylan: Wait, is that?
Dolly: It can't be!
Nocturne: (Smirks a bit) Indeed, it is!
Dimitri Trio: Leave our friends and siblings alone, you meanie! (Flying with a bag full of water balloons and threw at the Darkling, but the water balloons was full of dog food)
Darkling: Ugh! Dalmatian pranksters, you're going to get it this time!
Dimitri 1: Hey, we may be pranksters and play them, but that doesn't mean you'll get our light!
Dimitri 2: There's no way you'll take away our family from us!
Dimitri 3: We'll win until the very end!
Darkling: Well then, then I supposed you'll win against this! (Summoned the Heartless, the Crimson Prankster) Take care of the dalmatians and the princesses! (Vanished into a dark corridor)
Nocturne: Well Serenade, it looks we've got ourselves a Heartless to defeat!
Dimitri 1: Ma'am, we'll leave this Heartless to you.
Dimitri 2/3: Good luck, you two! (Left with Dolly and Dylan to safety with Dimitri 1 following suit)
Nocturne: Ready, Serenade?
Serenade: Ready, sis!
They were on full assault on the Crimson Prankster as they were in pairs and Nocturne and Serenade aren't afraid without a fight!
Nocturne: We'll need to take them out at the same time, because if we take out one, the other will make another copy. We'll have to be very agile and quick about it.
Serenade: Gotcha! We'll take them out at the same time and they'll go away.
The girls rushed to the Heartless, as it used their flamethrowers to damage the girls and try not to let them get closer. But they were denied as they leaped up high, but they were swatted by their batons and took damage along the way. Then, the Heartless leapt up high and make a shockwave of flames. The girls quickly healed themselves with Cure and quickly dodged the attack with their agility as they rushed towards the Heartless, but the Heartless spun themselves around with their batons in flames.
Serenade: If you can't take the heat, chill out! (Used Blizzard magic on the Heartless)
The attack has halted the enemy and Nocturne did the exact same thing to the other one. They were in luck as they were striking the Heartless multiple times.
Nocturne: You two maybe evil, but I made some pranksters that are way more fun than you!
Both girls is striking at the girls with all of their might and they're giving it their all, but Nocturne got an idea and used the batons to her advantage.
Nocturne: Hey, pranksters! (The Crimson Pranksters looked at Nocturne) Here's a prank for ya! (Throws the batons sideways through the Heartless)
The Crimson Pranksters were no more as their hearts came out and this made them disappear without a trace.
Nocturne/Serenade: Show's over!
Dolly/Dylan: Alright, Nocturne and Serenade!
Dimitri Trio: Ma'am, You did it!
Nocturne: Thanks, guys! Dimitris, thanks for showing up to stop that Darkling.
Dimitri 1: Don't mention it, ma'am!
Nocturne: Come on, let's get back home. We had enough excitement for one day.
(A few minutes later) (Timeskip - Afternoon)
Nocturne: Dolly, Dylan and Serenade, come by the backyard real quick.
Dolly, Dylan and Serenade came by the backyard to see what's going on with Nocturne.
Dolly: We're here, Nocturne.
Dylan: Is there anything you need?
Serenade: What is it?
Nocturne: This has been a wonderful experience for me to be here, but I still haven't figured out my vision yet.
Dylan: It's okay, Nocturne. You'll figure it out someday I'm sure.
Dolly: Uh, guys. Where are the pups?
Serenade: Yeah. It's empty outside and there's no one here.
Nocturne: Oh right, maybe they went out for a walk. Don't worry, I'll call them back. All you guys have to do is get closer.
The three dogs went to each other to be closer to one another.
Nocturne: Closer. (The dogs went more closer) One more time. (They were close enough for Nocturne to do this)
Dimitri Trio: Group HUG!
The dalmatian puppies went out of their hiding places to give the two dalmatians and Serenade to give them one big dalmatian hug as the three were surprised to see that happen.
Nocturne: Oh! You just got mooned!
The Dimitri Trio came out of their hiding spots and they were amazed and they were impressed by Nocturne's skill.
Dimitri 1: We taught her everything we know.
Dimitri 2: (Laughing) You should've seen the looks on your faces!
Dimitri 3: Yeah!
Dylan: Ha ha ha, very funny!
Dolly: Well played, Nocturne.
Serenade: I'm getting squished! Nocturne, get me out of this!
Nocturne: Nope! (Laughing with the Dimitri Trio)
Serenade: (Whining) Nocturne...Is it about what happened last time?
Nocturne: Yes and that's what happens when you mess up my hair!
The dalmatian puppies were laughing while hugging, as the Dimitri Trio gave Nocturne a lick on the cheek and Nocturne licked the trio back.
Nocturne: (Laughing quietly) Dog, I'm good. (Winks at the reader's view)
(One good prank later) (Timeskip - Evening)
Nocturne was in the hallway, thinking about her vision from this morning.
Nocturne: (Sigh)
Dolly: Hey, are you going to be okay?
Nocturne: This vision, I still haven't figured it out yet.
Dolly: Don't worry. You'll find out what it is, I'm sure of it.
Nocturne: It was about two adult dalmatians and a boy, along with another dalmatian family. The boy was being praised, but it wasn't Hunter. It was someone else.
Dolly: Really? Who is it?
Nocturne: I don't know, but what I do is the two dalmatians are like. (Noticed a picture of them on the wall) Them! Like them! That's the two adult dalmatians that I saw in my vision. They were very quaint of each other.
Dolly: (Noticed the picture) Oh, that's great-great grandma and grandpa! That's what you saw in your vision?!
Nocturne: Yes and their names are...Pongo and Perdita. (Gasp) Wait...did I just remember their names?
Dolly: Maybe, but I think you should head out soon. Your sister's waiting.
Nocturne: Thanks, Doll! You're the best!
Dolly: (Blushing) You're welcome. (Laughing a bit)
Serenade: (Outside) Come on, sis! I had enough adventuring for one day and I'm sorry about the hair prank.
Nocturne: (Rush towards Serenade) It's okay, I just want to learn your lesson. But guess what, I solved the first half of the mystery, the adult dalmatians were Pongo and Perdita.
Serenade: Really?! That's awesome! Now all you need to do is to solve the second mystery, the boy.
Nocturne: You're right. Thursday, after school, back to Camden Town!
Serenade: That's my sister! (Went back home with Nocturne)
The dalmatian puppies waved goodbye, along with the Dimitri Trio and Dolly and Dylan waving goodbye as well.
Now that Nocturne solved her first half of the mystery of the two adult dalmatians, Pongo and Perdita, there's the second half and that's the identity of the boy. This girl is up for some mystery solving and must get cracking. Nocturne, I hope you solve this mystery of yours. But there's a new threat to Nocturne and it's a Darkling that's after the light called Lux. What's this Darkling want with the dalmatians? Why is it after Nocturne? Will it go after the other sisters?
These answers will be revealed later. So let's go, as the journey continues!
[Epilogue]
Dimitri 1: Wow, I didn't know that girl had it in her.
Dimitri 2: I know right, maybe we'll go to her world and hang out sometime.
Dimitri 3: Certainly and we'll all be by her side, as bodyguards.
Dimitri Trio: As bodyguards! (High pawed each other, until it's time for bed)
(Meanwhile in Metropolis)
Zee was enjoying her beauty sleep, until she had a nightmare. It was a Darkling and it was after not just Nocturne and Aubade, but their entire family as well. She saw that their lights were taken away and Nocturne and Aubade were in total despair as she was wiped out by a swarm of Shadows.
Zee: (Wakes up from the nightmare) Oh no, Nocturne and Aubade in trouble. What am I going to do? (Got an idea) I've got it, starting tomorrow, I'm heading to Nightfall City.
