Daniel slowly opens up his eyes and looks around. He is once again in the bedroom where he first met Nightmare. He quickly goes over to the door and walks out of the room.
He catches a glimpse of Nightmare Bonnie in a side room, watching TV. He shakes his head and continues down the hallway. He always found it strange that the nightmares could do such normal stuff inside his own head. He makes a quick left and stops in front of the door at the end of the hallway. He takes a deep breath to calm himself and walks inside.
His nose crunches up as he is assaulted by a strong sewage-like smell. He looks up and sees Nightmare sitting on his little thrown. Nightmare was currently in his organic form, that being a black anthro bear. He wore his yellow tophat and bowtie, and his eyes were still a piercing red.
Nightmare was staring at his razor-sharp claws when he heard Daniel walk inside. He chuckles deeply and looks down at Daniel. "What does the little master have for me today?" Nightmare's voice was an amalgamation of voices. It was scratchy, yet it flowed smoothly. It was harsh, yet it had an undertone of softness. It was demonic, but it also had a soothing tone to it.
Daniel winces slightly as he sees Nightmare smirk at his confusion. Despite his organic form being much more approachable, Daniel was still creeped out by Nightmare. Daniel steels himself up and says "Nightmare. We have a problem."
Nightmare's smirk grows and he says in that sickly sweet voice "Oh? And what would that be?" Nightmare loved to hear about Daniel's problems, simply so he could prod at Daniel's patience with them. Daniel may have bested him and kept control, but Nightmare wasn't done trying. Not by a long shot.
Daniel's eyes narrow and he says "Just see for yourself." Daniel waves his hand and conjures his memories of the pictures. He makes them float over to Nightmare and Nightmare grabs them.
Nightmare holds them in front of him in disinterest. Daniel's problems never concerned him, even though he loved to hear them. Nightmare's eyes narrow, however, when he realizes what the pictures are.
"Nightmares?" Nightmare scratches his chin lightly as he analyzes the photos. He feels like they should be important to him, and yet he couldn't place his claw on it.
Nightmare's eyes widen as he realizes what the pictures symbolize. He growls loudly and sends a claw through the picture.
Daniel raises an eyebrow at Nightmare's sudden provocation. "What is it?" Nightmare glares at Daniel, but responds anyways. "Nightmarionne." Daniel just raises his eyebrow again.
Nightmare notices and continues. "Nightmarionne is basically my rival. While I take over others and live within the dream realm, Nightmarionne lives in the real world. He uses teasers, like these photos, to announce his coming arrival. He uses illusions and tricks to defeat his opponents, and then he sucks up their negative energy until they are practically a husk. He already is stubborn, but when it comes to me…"
Daniel raises his eyebrow again. Nightmare throws his hands up and screams to the heavens. "Can you only respond with raising your eyebrow, or is this just to annoy me?!" Daniel simply raises his eyebrow again.
Nightmare growls when he sees Daniel try to repress his smile. Nightmare continues, reluctantly. "Nightmarionne is less powerful than me. Because of this, he finds it his personal mission to try and best me. Now, I would welcome this if not for the fact that the guy is a complete psychopath, more so than me. It is annoying to try and not get turned into a deflated balloon."
Daniel's eyebrows furrow as he processes this new information. "So Nightmarionne is targeting me?" Nightmare shakes his head. "Yes and no. He will target you, but also your 'friends'. He always targets anyone who is with his original target as well."
Daniel growls and clenches his fist. "If he knows what's good for him, then he won't touch my friends." Nightmare chuckles darkly and says "Yes. That won't be a problem for you, now will it."
Nightmare's face suddenly drops its sadistic look and grows serious. "Now, despite your power, Nightmarionne is still very powerful. Any wrong move and he can have you trapped in an infinite loop of misery."
Daniel nods his head, his eyes filled with determination. Nightmare loses his serious demeanor and he smirks once again. "Now enough warnings. I want to see how you handle Nightmarionne's little games." Nightmare waves his hand and Daniel's breath is knocked out of him. Nightmare was pushing him out of the dream realm. Daniel instinctively resists, but he knows it is futile. After a short moment, Daniel is launched of his feet. The last thing he sees is Nightmare's sadistic smirk.
