Isiah: What up! Isiah and Tom here!

Tom: What's up!

Isiah: And welcome back to Avalor's Nightmare Aftermath. Last time, Queen Elena and her friends were summoned by Shuriki, Fiero, and Princess Sofia who told them about the aftermath of destroying Nightmare's world core.

Tom: They told them had time continued with that outcome, time would come to a complete stop. And that they needed a different outcome for Nightmare's defeat.

Isiah: Luckily, the only way to do it was to go back in time and somehow stop Nightmare a whole different way.

Tom: Now that Shuriki and her allies are back to the past, how will they stop Nightmare from delivering hell to Avalor?

Isiah: Let's get into today's chapter and find out.


Confronting Nightmare

Shuriki, Sofia, and Fiero were approaching Nightmare's palace. When they made their way inside, Shuriki was the first to see Nightmare sitting on her throne and she held up her Scepter of Night before blasting one of the elements at her. It directly hit Nightmare in her chest killing her almost instantly.

When it was all said and done, Shuriki blew out the smoke on her scepter and said, "All too easy."

"That's what you think," the trio turned around to see the real Nightmare standing aside with another spirit demon named Darkness. Nightmare held up a red ring and blasted it at the trio making them fall on impact.

After doing this, Nightmare let out an evil laugh knowing her trick she had worked like a charm. "You three are all so predictable," she said. "I should've known you guys would have the idea to travel back in time to stop my plans."

"What do you m- mean," Shuriki said in pain.

"The bitch followed us to this exact point in time," Fiero said.

"Indeed I have. And now that I have you two right where I want you, let me be the first to say congratulations," Nightmare said. "You three get to be the first of my demonized servants."

Sofia still had some pain from the blast Nightmare gave out, but managed to hold her own and say, "I would rather burn in this hell-bent world than serve you!"

Darkness went over to Sofia and placed a hand on her face saying, "We were hoping you would say that, Princess Sofia. So I'll tell you what we're going to do."

"Shall we feast on their flesh, Master," one of the demon soldiers stepped up.

"Not yet. We will imprison them and make them bare witness as we begin the construction of our sinless world," Darkness said. "Then we can decide the fate of their pathetic lives." And with a quick point to the trio, the other demon servants went over to them and forcefully carried them out of Nightmare and Darkness's sights.

After watching Shuriki, Fiero, and Sofia be carried off, Nightmare went over to her throne and magically disposed of the clone Nightmare that was on there. Once she sat down, Darkness asked, "So...how were the last sinners you've killed?"

"You mean those fools that declare themselves as the Four Shades of Awesomeness? They'll make great servants...when their magic is absorbed with mine," Nightmare said. "They thought they could get the jump on me in the future, but boy did I prove them wrong."

Darkness nodded at this and Nightmare continued. "Now we need more servants to complete my armies and then we can begin to invade Avalor."

"I think I know another trio of rodents who've been up to a hell of a lot as of late," Darkness said showing Nightmare an illusion with an elderly man, a sorceress, and a female malvago. Nightmare smirked at seeing this and chuckled saying, "This oughta be some real fun."

Claiming the First Victim

In the deep part of the forest, Chatana was looking around and minding her own business when she realized that she was starting to get bored. So she tried to leave the forest, but looked up in the sky to see that the skies were going from beautiful sunny skies to pure clouds. Once it was nothing but clouds in the sky, Chatana began to realize that it was starting to rain as well.

After letting out a sigh of annoyance from her getting wet, Chatana began walking towards one of the pathways that would've hopefully led her to the forest exit. But while she was walking, she saw sight of a certain figure standing from the distance. Her curiosity got the best of her and she decided to go towards it.

When she got closer to the figure, Chatana noticed something familiar about who was standing there. It started to look a lot like Princess Elena. The sorceress didn't seem pleased at seeing this and aimed her wand at the standing princess. Firing an attack spell at her.

After firing her attack spell, Chatana looked to see that Elena on the ground in defeat and let out a smirk of evil as she walked over to her saying, "Hmph. Guess that's what happens when you don't watch your back. Ash and Esteban are gonna love hearing this."

Chatana then grabbed the knocked out princess by her arm and began carrying her away, but stopped when she noticed that Elena was giving her a grip back to her. Then she realized that Elena's grip was getting harder and she then heard her say, "Oh, what do you say we keep this between us?"

The sorceress looked over at what she thought was a knocked out Crown Princess. But her eyes opened and Chatana realized that this wasn't Princess Elena. This was indeed Nightmare.

"And by this, I mean your death," she said slowly getting up with a smirk of pure evil on her face.

"Who are you," Chatana asked in shock as she was taking steps back.

"What? You haven't heard of me," Nightmare asked walking towards the sorceress.

"Who the FUCK are you," Chatana asked again as she was taking steps back more quickly. Nightmare noticed this and grabbed Chatana by her arm with her hand shaped claw making them come into contact with her skin as she said, "I am the way to your death, you sinful fool. I'm going to kill you and wash away your sins."

"You? Kill me? Hell will freeze before you get the chance to kill me," Chatana said as she managed to get out of Nightmare's grip and run the other way. The spirit demon just smirked at this and began walking towards the sorceress.

For what felt like hours, Chatana was running down the pathway of the forest. She looked back from time to time and saw that Nightmare was getting closer and closer to her. But she was still walking. After what felt like an half hour past, Chatana ended up tripping over a small tree branch and falling face first on the grass.

Fearing for her life even more, Chatana looked around for something to buy her some time. She ended up finding a sharp tree branch and got a hold of it while picking herself back up. When she turned around, Nightmare was standing right behind her, and the sorceress gave the spirit demon a good blow on the neck with the branch.

Nightmare was caught off guard by the blow for a split second before keeping herself together. Waiting for Chatana to look back at her and see that her stabbing her neck had little to no affect on her. Nightmare then removed the branch from her neck and waited for it to quickly heal before letting in a deep breath and letting out a loud demon roar.

Chatana screamed in pure fear and covered herself. Closing her eyes as she braced for the impact that she thought was going to come. She stood there for about two short minutes before opening her eyes and realizing that Nightmare wasn't there anymore.

"What the..." Chatana continued standing there scared and confused. Was this some sort of an illusion? Was her mind playing tricks on her? She then looked over at her arm and saw that the scar she had gotten from Nightmare was still there. This can't be an illusion, she thought to herself.

Just as when she was about to walk the other way, Chatana was jumped by Nightmare coming from behind her and covering the sorceress's face and nose to the point where she was unable to breathe. She tried to fight it but Nightmare proved to be too much for her and just when Chatana began falling unconsciously, Nightmare wrapped her other arm around her neck and snapped it, killing the sorceress.

After the sorceress was killed, Nightmare grabbed Chatana by her leg and began dragging her out of the forest. When was finally out, she set the body neck to a pile of branches and set the branches on fire before throwing Chatana in the fire.

A long five minutes of silence past before Nightmare turned her head to see an abandoned power plant from the distance and saw a certain elderly Avaloran male walking inside it. Nightmare smirked at seeing this and began walking towards the power plant.

"So many sinners to play with...so little time," Nightmare paused for a moment knowing who the Avaloran male was walking inside.

"Wouldn't you agree...Chancellor Esteban," she finished before letting out an evil laugh.

To be continued...
