Yatta, I can't believe that I'm actually working on this fic, Most people
probably believed I had abandoned it... but nah I just had mondo writing block
on how to do certain parts. Dedicated to all those people who emailed me to
continue... and to the few people who left reviews for me at FF.net.
Child of dreams

Chapter Five
Ranam gasped as sudden pain filled his body, hugging himself he fell to
his knees trembling.
Never had he felt such pain before, not even when he had gone against
Saffron.
He gave a silent scream as his head began to feel as if it would
explode, he clutched it and shook on the ground.
'What's going on, what's wrong with me' Ranma thought whimpering
slightly, tears slipped down his face from the pain.
He had been taught to cry or shown pain like this was weak, but since
the baka panda wasn't here he could freely show the terrible pain he was in.
Finally the pain lessened some and he slowly got up, with swaying steps
he made it to the window and looked out.
He gulped and swore silently, the sky was covered with a darkness of
some type and whatever had just come through it felt pure evil.
He shivered at this, he had never felt anything so evil... this things
aura was just twisted.
"No, it can't be," he whispered as he saw what had come trough, it was a
creature that looked like a twisted version of a joker... the evil creature from
his dreams.
Quickly the blue eyed youth looked for anyone on the streets, what he
saw made his blood run cold. Everyone outside lay on the ground there faces
twisted in pain and eyes glazed, humans, birds and every creature he could see
was effected by it.
"Mom," he said, he had forgotten his mother and had to make sure she was
all right. He ran to her room, noticing that he was moving better now. All he
could feel of the earlier pain was a dull ache in his body.
"Mother," he whispered sadly, his mother was in the same situation as
those outside. He turned and left sadly. He had a feeling, that there was no
way he could help her at the moment.
'But why wasn't I effected the same as the others, sure I was in total
pain for a few moments but I feel fine now?' Ranma thought confused, what ever
was happening was connected to the creature in the sky.
"I'll be back," he whispered pulling on his sneakers, he had to do
something or the people he cared about could die from the pain they were in.

Reala laughed, here in this dimension nights hid, soon his army would
come into this dimension and destroy it completely. He couldn't wait to
destroy Nights, he hated that goody two shoes Nightmaren (lol).
'Soon I will destroy everything, once I destroy this dimension I'll
today destroy the dream world... then the whole universe' Reala thought and he
laughed crazily (writer sweatdrops).
He gathered dark dream energy in his clawed hands, it was the same dark
energy he had used to escape limbo and become so powerful.
Sanity had long ago left him, all that was left was pure evil... and it
was insane.
***
Nights ran through the streets his eyes filled with sadness, somehow
when Reala had opened the portal in the sky like that it had affected
everyone.
He felt terrible sadness at what he saw, everyone laying in silent agony
and even car crashes for people had been in the cars when the pain struck.
'Ranma must be like that too' he thought biting his lip, tears
threatened to fall at the thought of his one true friend like that.
As he ran he could slowly feel a buildup of energy around him, he knew
that soon he would be transformed into his true Nightmaren form.
"Reala," he whispered as he ran neared to where the evil Nightmaren was,
he shivered feeling the raw power swirling around the other Nightmaren.
'How can I defeat him, if I don't this dimension and all its people
including ranma will be destroyed' he thought sadly, he decided right there
and then that while he had run from the dream world he would stand against
Reala... too much depended on him.
"Its pure evil," a voice said startling Nights, with a gasp Nights spun
around and stared. Standing there was Ranma, his blue eyes were filled with
pain so like his own and his face was pale determination written on it.
"Ranma," he said, the young human looked at the evil nightmaren floating
in the sky.
"Your going to need help fighting him, were the only ones still standing
after that portal in the sky opened," Ranma said in almost a whisper, Nights
stared at the human noticing that for once he saw no ego in the human but a
deadly seriousness.
"Ranma, you will be killed if you go against that thing in the sky,"
nights protested, he knew then that Ranma wanted to fight Reala.
"I know, I finally understand when some of my dreams were trying to tell
me... I need to fight with you... the other dream creature," Ranma said, at those
words Night froze. How could Ranma know he was a dream creature, and how could
he stand there uneffected by the pain others were feeling.
"What do you mean ranma, tell me!" he demanded, he looked at the sky
knowing that if he didn't get that portal closed Realas army would soon be
coming out.
"Your aura confused me for a long time especially since its identicle to
the dream creature I met in the dream world, all I know is that your going to
need me to fight that monster," Ranma said and Nights saw true anger in those
blue eyes, he sighed knowing that if he didn't let ranma fight his human
friend would never forgive him.
"I guess I can let you see the true me," Nights sighed as the energy
around him reached a climax, in a flash of purple light Nights transformed
into the true him.
"Like the creature in the air I am a dream creature called a Nightmaren,
but while Reala is evil I am his exact opposite," Nights said, Ranma looked
thoughtful.
"Cool," he finally said, Nights blinked knowing that he would never
truly understand how the human mind worked... especially if it was Ranmas mind.
"We have to hurry, Reala is trying to bring an army through the dream
portal," he explained, ranma nodded and then leapt to a rooftop startling
Nights as he began roof hopping.
"Okay, that's cool... but I can fly," he said to himself, with a sigh he
leapt into the air and began flying towards Reala.
***
Ranma frowned as he roof hopped towards the creature... Reala, he had a
mission and he would succeed no matter what it took. His mother was counting
on him winning this fight and so many countless innocents, it didn't matter
that the only person able to help him fight this evil wasn't human.
It was strange that Nighst was a dream creature, but he had finally
pieced it together from his dreams just before he had met Nights on the way
here.
'I don't understand how I can help Nights fight this creature, I can
feel it that nothing of the fighting skills I learned over my life will help'
Ranma thought frowning, but as everyone knows Ranma never gives up... even if it
would kill him in the end.
TBC
Well that was the fifth chapter, I know it was a bit lame but in chapter six
there will be the big battle and other stuff... but the ending of this fic you
will probably be surprised by.
