PPPPPPPPP
The sun rose over the horizon, spreading light and warmth to the world of Wizard City. The sunlight seeped through the window of the bedroom to where the girls were sleeping and lighting up the room. Each of them groaned in annoyance and pulled the blankets over their head in an attempt to block out the sunlight and sleep more.
They slept for about 15 minutes more before they heard the cry of a baby. The girls sighed and kicked the blankets off of them as they got up. Keera rubbed her eyes as she headed out the door of the bedroom. "I got it… she is my daughter after all…" She mumbled sleepily to the others as she went to calm down her daughter.
"I am heading to the shower…" Bianca declared as she started to head out the door. She looked back at the other girls who were either rubbing their eyes or stretching. "You girls coming? We're pretty much all sharing the same bathroom and it would be faster if we all go at the same time."
"Yeah we know that… kind of embarrassing to be showering with other people…" Bly said. It is not that she is against the idea. She just thinks she'll pass out or have a massive nosebleed from showering so close to another person, especially a girl.
"Eh I am used to it. I have been in Girl's Locker Rooms too many times to go shower and such." Yew said with a shrug. "Just don't stare at my body. I know most of you are either gay or bi, except Zarnta. I have an excellent gaydar so… yeah."
The other girls except Zarnta blushed and looked away. Bianca cleared her throat, signaling that they should shower right now and get ready for the day ahead of them. "Let's go then. I think Keera will go after us, since she doesn't seem to be the type to shower with a group of girls…"
"I heard that…" Keera said, loud enough to reach the bedroom. "I will shower with you all, even though I don't want to. Just let me finish feeding Miranda…"
"Kay"
After 5 or so minutes, all the girls were in the bathroom together, showering. There were 8 separate showers and they were at least 3 feet away from each other. All the water will go to the drain hole in the center of the bathroom. It was a fairly large bathroom. There were 8 showers, 8 sinks, and 8 stalls. It almost looked like a girl's locker room… without the lockers.
Bly was blushing madly as she was showering next to Rena and Bianca. Well… technically almost everyone except Yew and Zarnta were blushing.
"Ah… it's good to shower. That training session made me stinky and sweaty…" Bianca remarked as she grabbed the soap and proceeded to apply it on her body, all the while trying not to look at the other 7 naked girls in the room.
"Yeah… a clean body is a happy body…" Umi agreed, looking anywhere but at the other 7 as she cleaned her dirty body.
Bly grabbed the Head & Shoulders shampoo and applied it to her hair. "So, girls, where should we head to first? I mean, there are 8 worlds we need to search for the Dreamers… so where do we go first?" She asked to the girls as she washed her hair after thoroughly applying the shampoo.
"What were the 8 worlds again?" Roxanne asked, just about done with her shower.
"It was Earth, Sandy Paradise, Gardens of Ra, Evergreen Forest, Console Central, Tempest City, Haunted Hills, and the Haggis Lands…" Keera responded with a roll of her eyes.
"Hey, no need to be so rude." Roxanne glared at Keera. The young mother simply shrugged and continued with her shower. The chef sighed and turned off her shower. She went to grab a towel that was hanging on the wall. As she proceeded to dry herself, she recalled who was in what world.
"Ah yeah… I remember now. Hmm," After she was dry, she headed over to the sink to brush her teeth. "I say we go to Evergreen Forest… Jackie seems like an interesting individual. We should go and get her first."
"Whatever floats your boat… we don't have a particular order to do it in anyways…" Rena said as she finished her own shower. She walked over to one of the 8 towel racks and grabbed one to dry herself with. "Does that sound good to you girls?"
"Meh."
"Whatevs…"
"I don't care…"
"I'll say meh too."
"Zarnta is neutral"
"Hmm, that's ok." (1)
Roxanne scoffed as she spit into the sink. "Some team we got here… not even enthusiastic…" Rena nodded in agreement as she headed to the sink next to her so she can start brushing her teeth. A door bell was heard, interrupting the showering and the scrubbing of the teeth.
The young chef quickly washed her mouth and wrapped a towel around her body. "I'll get it…" She headed out to the front door. Quickly checking to make sure the towel is wrapped tightly around her body before she proceeded to open the door. Not surprising, it was Ambrose.
"Good morning, Ambrose. What do you need?" Roxanne greeted as she motioned for him to enter the house. Ambrose obliged and proceeded to sit down on one of the couches. He rubbed his temple in distress. Roxanne quirked an eyebrow and wondered what made him so distressed and… worried.
After a minute or two of silence, he turned his head to look at Roxanne. "Roxanne…" He started slowly as he looked at her, "Where are the other girls?"
"Oh um, showering. As you can see I just got out of the shower…" She responded. Ambrose sighed and turned his attention to the HD TV. He wasn't going to watch any TV; he was just looking at it, for the sake of looking at it.
"Call them to come out here once they are all done… fully dressed preferably. I have an important discussion with you all and it can't wait any longer…" He fiddled with the staff in his hand and out came a hologram of some sorts just above the coffee table.
Roxanne couldn't make out what the hologram was at where she was standing, but it will be best she gets the other girls first. "Alright. I'll go get them."
6 minutes later…
Once the girls were all dressed and seated on the couch, excluding Bly who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and eyes closed, Ambrose then decided to tell them what he came here to talk about.
"Young wizards… something terrible happened while you were all asleep…" He pointed to the hologram he set up, which just showed Wizard City and Neo Wizard City floating next to it. "Now watch…" All eyes watched as a mysterious looking castle island appeared out of nowhere. A sinister laughter was heard as 8 worlds swirled in around the 2 worlds floating together.
Once all 8 were circled around them, a blue force field was created outside of the circle, preventing anyone going in or out of the circle. Then suddenly the Nightmare Symbol popped up in the circle created, before disappearing from sight.
"So… so…" Umi placed a finger on her chin in thought, "He basically trapped all 8 worlds we are supposed to go… around us and prevented us from getting to him by the use of the Space Ship outside…"
Ambrose nodded, "That is the gist of it sure… but… you all saw the Nightmare Symbol… yes?" He looked around the room, to see that everyone nodded. Satisfied, he continued on. "What you just saw was the Nightmare King putting a 'Nightmare Virus' in all of those worlds…" He clasped his hands together as he stared at the now unmoving Hologram since there was nothing left to show. "That virus is going to bring Night Dwellers upon that worlds and bring it to its knees…"
"Not only that… The Nightmare World will be pretty much present in those worlds and doing unimaginable things. Things will disappear… PLACES will disappear. Let me show you to explain it better…"
Ambrose made the hologram disappear and he stood up. The girls watched him as he moved to the center of the room. With a tap of his staff, he cast a spell.
…
…
The girls looked around the room and did not see anything happen. They gave Ambrose a confused look at what he was getting at. He sighed and decided to explain. "I had basically made an item disappear in this room. Now… what did I make disappear?"
Bly looked on the wall near the TV and sees that the Clock was missing. Without speaking, she nodded her head towards the location of where the Clock used to be. Ambrose nodded. "Now… watch, I will bring you all to the Nightmare World version of this House…"
With a wave of his staff and a chant of some kind, all of them were transferred to a very evil, spooky, looking version of where they were. The girls were pretty much in shock as everything had this "Nightmare" change to it. The TV had a devil head on top of it and devil hands on each side of the TV. The couches they were sitting on were now made of dead snakes… which they promptly got off of in fear. Pretty much everything looked scary except for the Clock.
The Clock looked pretty much the same when it had disappeared from the Real World. Ambrose nodded towards the Clock. "Now see how the Clock is unchanged in the Nightmare World? That means it didn't belong in the Nightmare World in the first place… Bly…" He turned to the Princess in question, who was still freaked out by everything around her. She turned her attention to him after a minute or two standing in fear.
"I want you to be a dear and say these magic words while you point at the clock with your wand… err… sword." Ambrose said to her. Bly nodded and pointed her sword at the clock on the wall.
"Arfarious Nexum" Ambrose said to her. Bly nodded and repeated the spell. A Beam of light erupted form her sword and struck the clock. It vanished… probably went back to the real world. With a smile, Ambrose brought them back to the Real world with a wave of his hand.
The girls relaxed a bit as they were no longer face to face with scary stuff… but they feel slightly dizzy. Bly shook her head to try and block out the dizziness she suddenly felt.
"Woah, I feel a bit dizzy… what happened?" Bianca asked. Her sight is a bit out of focus.
"That is the effect of the Nightmare World. If you stay there for even a little bit, your dreams are literally being taken from you little by little. Stay too long and you'll stay there for a long time with all of your dreams sucked out of you until someone drags you back…" Ambrose explained.
"When you travel to the other worlds… there will be areas and items that might be important that will disappear because of the Night Dwellers. So you would have to enter the Nightmare World in order to bring them back…"
The girl's eyes went wide at that. They would have to go into the Nightmare World for that? Suddenly they didn't feel like being Heroines anymore, but… they might as well. Ambrose got out 20 magic potions and handed it to them, plus giving each of them their Initiate Deck for each of their schools.
"Those are your Initiate Decks… use them well in combat. I wish to give you higher rank spells, but you are not experienced enough yet to handle them…" He then glanced over at the 20 magic bottles he gave them, "And those are for entering and exiting the Nightmare World. Use them wisely of course. These magic bottles are expensive… I could have given you more but I am flat broke at the moment…"
"No problem… we'll use them properly…" Bly reassured as she placed the 20 bottles in her bag for safe keeping and placed her Initiate Pyromancer Deck in her pocket. The other girls did the same with their decks, excited to use them in a real battle against the Night Dwellers and the Dream Crushers.
"Now one other thing I must discuss with you…" Ambrose pulled out a model of the world called Earth. All of them immediately recognized it and cocked an eyebrow in confusion.
"The World Earth is not supposed to know that there are other worlds out there. Now since some of the worlds are bunched together with them tagged along, they knowing of the other worlds existence is inevitable…" Ambrose sighed as he placed the model away. "World order must be kept… Sure the other 7 worlds know there are other worlds, but Earth is not supposed to. We cannot have the citizens of Earth traveling to them."
"So…" Zarnta started, quite confused to where he was going with this, "What are we supposed to do about it?"
"I want you to go to Earth ASAP, if your first destination isn't already that…" He watched them shook their heads in response, signaling that Earth was not their first destination.
"Evergreen Forest is our first destination we chose, Ambrose…" Bly answered as she bit her lip, nervous that they did not make the right decision and they should have headed to Earth first. (Choosing Earth first IS a bad decision. :P)
Ambrose sighed and placed a hand on his face in exasperation. "Very well, do Evergreen Forest and then Earth if you must… but you must go there soon. We don't want Earth to meddle in the affairs of other worlds."
"Ok…"
"If I recall… Anastasia… one of the Dream Crushers, is in Evergreen Forest. She built those factories to flesh out Jackie, I'm sure of it…" Ambrose reached into his pocket and pulled out a photo. He gave it to Bly. The princess and the other girls gave it a close look and burned this image into their head, as it was the picture of one of the monsters that plans to crush dreams across the Spiral."
"I don't know much about her, but if you ask around in Evergreen Forest, I am sure you'll get some answers about her background."
Ambrose looked over at the baby that was lying peacefully on the hammock and miraculously did not cry when they switched over into the Nightmare World. Baby Miranda sure isn't like the other babies he had seen before. He walked over to the hammock and gently picked her up in his arms.
"I'm afraid I'll have to take care of Miranda while you are gone, Keera. An adventure like this isn't safe for her…" Ambrose said. He stared into the eyes of the baby and she in turn stared back, wondering who he was again.
"I…" Keera reached a hand out in protest but then dropped it in realization that it is probably best that her daughter is safe. "Ok… B-But! If something happens to her, so help me god, old man!" She threatened to him, raising her voice for the first time in days.
"I'll keep her safe, don't you worry. By the way…" He turned to the hallway that leads to the Spaceship Control Room/Planning Area. "The Peacekeepers are waiting for you in the Spaceship. They have been in there all morning, making sure everything is up and running. They are going with you in case you need the extra help."
"U-um, cool I guess?" Bianca was applying make-up for whatever reason and the girls smacked their head sat how idiotic Bianca is. Who the hell puts on make-up while going to another world for an adventure? Just who?
"Can I slap Bianca now?" Yew asked, so annoyed at Bianca. The model looked offended and placed her make-up kit away. "You'll do no such thing, Goth bitch."
"Girls… not in front of me…" Ambrose sighed, "And especially not in front of the baby either. Why don't you go now before more time is wasted, hmm?"
XXXXXXXX
The girls had just entered the Spaceship. Ambrose was in the Control Room, ready to launch them when the countdown finishes, which is in about a minute. The Peacekeepers were all in their seats and strapped in. There were 7 other seats to be filled and the Pilot's seat. The question was… who was going to be the Pilot?
"Hey girls!" Heylie greeted with a friendly wave.
"Yo gals! Ready to rock and roll?" Devlin asked from his seat, not bothering to turn his head to look at them.
"Yo um… dude…" Bly greeted back, not quite used to using this type of speech.
"Let's get this shit over with, right Rena?" asked Tara, giving her a flirty wink. Rena blushed crimson and looked away.
"Come on, get to your seats, this thing is ready to go!" Sabrina Jadeleaf ordered, wanting to get this over with as quickly as possible. She didn't like working with any of them, really.
"Nope, I am not going to be the pilot, I have no piloting skills!" Bly exclaimed before anybody had a chance to ask as she made her way to one of the empty seats. Yew pushed Keera to the Pilot seat while she and the others went to the other seats available and strapped themselves in.
Keera growled in frustration. She was going to hurt Yew someday. She may be a Computer Hacker, but this was far beyond her area of knowledge. The young mother sighed and strapped herself into the pilot seat. With a gulp she held onto the wheel and checked to see if everything was ok for them to launch.
"5… 4… 3… 2…" Ambrose was looking at his watch while his left hand was firmly on the button that will launch them into Space in the direction of Evergreen Forest. "1… BLAST OFF!" He pressed the button and the Spaceship set off into the sky in a tremendous speed. Screams and yells were heard as they headed off into Space. It was going so fast, it was only natural for them to scream.
"Good luck… may Bartleby watch over you…" Ambrose said, hoping things will turn out ok…
XXXXXXXXXXX
"JACKIE! JACKIE!" An elven woman shouted. She walked around the forestry area that was near close proximity to the Factories that have been built recently.
She had red hair, pointy ears; which is natural for an elf, brown eyes, a mere 3 feet and 8 inches tall, and an average bust. Her shirt is green and her pants are brown, with matching boots. There appeared to be a supply of arrows strapped to her back and a bow gripped in her right hand.
"She's been gone for a week now and I still haven't found her…" The Elven woman sat down on top of a rock and let out a tired sigh. She has been searching for Jackie for all the seven days that she had disappeared. Every rock, every tree, every cave, and there was still no sign of Jackie. The only place left is the Factories… but the Security is ridiculously hard to get past. There was no way she can get in there by herself.
On top of that, she had to deal with those creatures that had mysterious popped up just last night. Unfortunately for her, her arrows don't have any effect on them and she had to flee instead of fighting.
"If only I can get inside the Factories… but I can't do anything about it with the intense Security…"
A loud noise was heard from above. It was a noise that wasn't quite what she was familiar with at all. She immediately placed on some headphones that she required at this "Junkyard" those humans built to toss away items they did not want to keep. Looking at the sky with a hand over her eyes to shield the Sunrays, she sees a Spaceship about to land in an area about 100ft away from her.
"Ugh, more Humans… Can't allow that…" The Elven woman took out an arrow and then proceeded down the path to the place where the Spaceship will land.
Inside the Spaceship, Keera was having no problems landing the Spaceship, which is surprising. Her knowledge is mostly based on Computers, not being the pilot of a Spaceship. "I think I got it… T-minus 20 seconds till we land." Keera said in her usual quiet voice.
"You girls can head out to investigate for Jackie first… we Peacekeepers will fix the damage caused by the Night Dwellers." Devlin suggested to the heroines of this adventure. He walked over to the fuel gauge and noticed that the Spaceship is almost out of fuel. "And get this Spaceship more Fuel…"
While they were in Space, they had run into Night Dweller ships. They don't know the logic in that but didn't question it. They were attacked by a lot of them, but they managed to slip through and blast all of them away with the Spaceship's defense mechanisms. There were a lot of dents and damages to the ship that it is too risky to head off into Space again without repairing the damage.
"Ugh, but I don't fucking want to fix the ship… I want to help Rena and the others…" exclaimed Tara not liking the idea of staying behind to fix the ship.
"Fixing the ship IS helping them out. Besides if we don't fix it, we'll never get off this world with Jackie." Grace said to her.
Tara shook her head in annoyance and agreed reluctantly. Amber looked in her Crystal Ball to see what she can figure out for the soon future. "I see… that fixing this ship will take about 3 hours… also… it seems that there is an Elven woman wishing to do us harm right as we open the door out of this Space Ship.."
The Spaceship landed perfectly. Bly looked out to see that there was an Elven woman with a bow and arrow ready to fire in front of the Space Ship door. She looked over to Amber. "Well, you are correct again."
"I hope you are also correct about the fact that it will take 3 hours to fix this…" Heylie said, not really wanting to do manual labor, but if it will help them get them out of here once they rescue Jackie, so be it.
The Peacekeepers immediately got to work as they were now on solid ground to do repairs. The band of heroines opened the Spaceship door and sure enough, the Elven woman was threatening to shoot them.
"HALT! What is your business here?" ordered the Elven woman, arrow ready to strike at any moment.
Bly held her hands up as she stared at the elf before her. "We don't mean any harm miss… we are just here to find Jackie…"
"Find her and do what? Kill her? I won't allow it. No more humans should be allowed on this world!"
That's right. Anastasia and her henchmen have destroyed most of her homeland to build up factories to produce dangerous weapons to do damage to her world and the others. It is only natural that the elves feel hatred towards humans… Bly thought as she stared at the elf in front of her, the arrow about to shoot one of them in the heart at any second.
"We are not here to kill her…" Bly reasoned, "We are trying to protect her from the Nightmare King and the Night Dwellers…"
The Elven woman lowered her bow slightly, "You know about the Nightmare King?" She asked. Bly nodded in response.
"We are not here to cause any trouble for you or your people. We are searching for Jackie and the other Dreamers so we can protect them from the Nightmare King and try to save the Spiral from him…" Rena added, hoping that she would put her bow and arrow away.
The Elven woman hesitated for a moment and gave them all a good look. They didn't look evil… in fact they looked awfully familiar to her…. An imaginary light bulb flashed above her head in realization. With a smile she placed her arrow away.
"Ah. Sorry for not recognizing you all. You are the ones Majestic Nina and Jackie told me about."
That name again… just who is Majestic Nina? All we know about her is that she picked who was going to be a Dreamer… Bly wondered. Ambrose never explained to them who Majestic Nina was. Was she some sort of spirit? Was she an enemy of the Nightmare King once before? Whoever she was, she hoped they would find out soon, because she is now curious as to who this person was.
"Y-Yes… we are the 8 with the strong will to take down the Nightmare King" Bly responded, trying to go along with it. "I'm sure Majestic Nina has given you photos of us or such…"
"Oh indeed she did… even Jackie knew of your existence and painted your portraits…" The Elven woman said with a smile.
"T-That's cool…" Bly remarked. And creepy…
"Allow me to introduce myself… I am Maya LeafBearer. I work under the great, Jackie LegendBlade. Forgive me for the display I showed, I was only protecting my homeland from more evil humans…" Maya said with a polite bow.
"Don't worry about that… we know Anastasia destroyed your homeland… so it is only natural to feel hostile…" Rena said.
Maya looked angry when she said Anastasia, but only for a few seconds. Her expression softened as she pointed to the town square that was about a mile away from where they were standing. "Jackie's home is over there, want me to show you the house and perhaps explain a few things?" She suggested.
"Sure, let's go girls," Bly looked back behind her at the Peacekeepers inside the Spaceship. "We'll be back soon!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, just go!" Sabrina JadeLeaf shouted out in response, clearly annoyed and angry.
"Sabrina… it is not appropriate to be arrogant…" Emily said to her.
"Shut up, you diviner!"
"Keep it down or I'll bash both of your skulls with my hammer, we got work to do!" Grace shouted.
The girls rolled their eyes at that. They followed after Maya who was leading them to the location of Jackie's home. As they were leaving, they heard one last conversation in the Spaceship.
"Does this thing go here?" Devlin asked. An alarm was heard and the Spaceship door slammed shut.
"Uh no. But I know where my foot will go if you keep messing up, fucker." Tara responded.
"Tara! How rude!" exclaimed Sabrina DeathCaster
"I was only fucking kidding… jeez."
"Girls… and guy…" Amber sighed in exasperation.
The heroines giggled as they walked away from the Spaceship and kept on following Maya.
XXXXXXXXX
Inside one of the Factories, there was a bird-like cage hung up high on the ceiling. Within it, was none other than Jackie LegendBlade. She was struggling to get out of it, but to no avail. The elf was outraged at the fact that she was trapped like a helpless bird.
She appeared to be trapped in a room with a bunch of old and unused boxes. To the right of her cage was her weapons she used in combat. Her sword, her bow and arrow, her supply of bombs, and her gun were all in a pile. In the middle of room was a Mirror.
That is no ordinary mirror however, it is a Mirror that she will soon be strapped to and then her pure dream will extracted from her once the conditions are right. If her dream is extracted, she will be nothing more than a lifeless puppet, and that is one fate she hoped to never happen.
In order for the Mirror to completely extract her pure dream, it must be on a night of a full moon. It can't be done on any other night. However, this isn't the only method to extract a Dreamer's pure dream.
"GRRR! LET ME GO! ANASTASIA, YOU'LL REGRET THIS!" Jackie threatened, teeth bared, eyes on fire.
"Shut up." said a feminine voice with a Russian accent.
Jackie looked over at the doorway to her left and sees one of the Dream Crushers called, Anastasia. She was a rather tall woman with a Russian military uniform. Her hair was red like the blood and her eyes match her very hair. In her right hand was a whip.
"You're in no position to be making demands, dear Jackie." Anastasia walked up to her cage and gave her a threatening glance. Jackie wasn't intimidated by her stare and stared back just as threateningly.
"When I get out of this cage I'll fill your ass full of bullets after I am done kicking it!" Jackie shouted.
Jackie wasn't normally a very violent elf or one that swears a lot… She is a very kind elf, but if you push her buttons too hard, she'll snap.
"I like to see you try. However, you can't do the impossible. That cage is immune to your magic, no matter how hard you try." Anastasia whipped Jackie across the cheek with 100 percent accuracy. A red slash mark was across Jackie's cheek.
Jackie bared the pain as this only fueled her rage. She had nothing to say further as Anastasia walked out of the room. The elf heard that she was heading to her office and that in 7 hours or so, her dream will be extracted. Jackie did not want that to happen, EVER!
"I must get out of here!" Jackie growled in frustration as she gripped the bird cage with intense strength. She called upon her inner strength and the power of the folklore magic to help aid her get this cage open.
"I'LL SHOW YOU I CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE!" Jackie pulled and pulled with all her might, trying to pry apart the bars. All that rage she accumulated while inside this cage added to it. Within a few seconds, the sounds of metal bending were heard and it created a large enough hole for a small elf like herself to slip out.
Jackie grinned and slipped out of the cage. She landed on the floor and looked over at the weapons over to her right. It was time for her to grab them and make her escape. Jackie could have sworn she felt that the Chosen Ones had just entered her world a little while ago. Perhaps she should go find them and see if they can help her rid of Anastasia and the factories that are destroying her beautiful home.
2 guards in black uniform entered the room unannounced and they see that Jackie is out of her cage. "ALERT! PRISONER HAS ESCAPED!" They shouted to the other guards in the Factory.
Jackie saw them try and tackle her. With quick swiftness, she cartwheeled out of the way, making the guards fall on the ground. She quickly ran over to her weapons and placed them on with quick speed. Sheathing the sword in her belt, she chose to use her bow over her other weapons at her disposal.
"Night, night, guards!" She shot an arrow into each of their hearts and that finished them off. More guards came into the room with rifles, ready to shoot.
Bullets and bullets were fired in her direction, but she dodged them all and dived under their legs to make it to the room outside. She lit a bomb with a very short fuse and threw it at them. Jackie jumped out of the way as the bomb exploded and killed all the guards.
The Factory Door that was about 100ft where she was, was about to close. She got up from the floor and quickly ran to it. Bullets were fired at her direction, but they kept missing. The Door was only 2 feet away from closing completely.
Jackie dived and due to her small frame she barely got out of the Factory without getting squished. She placed a hand on her chest as she stood up. Clearly out of breath, she panted heavily. Quickly looking around, she noticed that the walls were way too high for her to jump over, or even climb them since they have electric defense system.
"Shit… how am I going to get out of here?" She mumbled silently to herself.
Suddenly a hand grabbed her ankle. She looked down and sees that the hand came from underground. It wasn't an undead hand, no; this hand was fully fleshed and feminine. Jackie yelped as she was pulled underground.
The elf only saw darkness, but she can still feel the presence of the one who pulled her down here. Not even trying to look for the girl, at least she thinks it is a girl, she let out a sigh. "All right, who are you and what do you want?"
"The name is Edith DawnSinger… I am a life wizard. I am here to save you from Anastasia…" answered a young feminine voice. If Jackie had to guess, she thought she was human and her age is about 16.
"Well thanks, Edith… um, but how do we go from here? It is so dark even I can't see where everything is…" Jackie questioned, looking around the darkness to see if there is any light around. The hole that was made when Edith's hand grabbed her was closed after was pulled in and there is no light source.
"Hang onto my hand. I'll bring you to your house where the others are…"
Without another word, Edith grabbed Jackie's hand and dragged her down a pathway only she can see.
"Woah hey! Careful!"
XXXXXXXXXX
Maya was showing them the House where Jackie lived. It was a relatively small cottage house. There were 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, a small kitchen, and a room where only Jackie has access to. Maya doesn't know what is in that room however.
"It's not your everyday house with gigantic rooms and stuff, but it is still a home to Jackie and me." Maya said. She went over to a nearby couch and sat on it. She was all worn out by the walking she had to endure looking for Jackie this morning.
"Well it is better than my home," Yew said, a bit uncomfortable to duck her head and a bit of her body to fit in the house. Since this is a home designed for elves, it is only natural that the house itself fits for the elves themselves and not humans. "Well… slightly better" She added.
Umi, being the smallest of the girls, could fit just fine in the house. She walked around with ease and noticed a "Keep out" sign on one of the doors.
"What is this room for?" Umi asked, pointing to the door in question. Maya looked her way, sees where she is pointing at and she shrugged in response.
"I don't know. Master Jackie never really tells me what's in there. She just goes in there whenever she has free time. Probably something she wants to keep secret, so I just respect her wishes and not go in there."
"Tell me, Maya…" Rena started as she tried to reach Jackie's bedroom to see if there is anything of interest in there. "Do you have some sort of relationship with Jackie? Or is it just a work relationship?"
Maya blushed as red as a tomato at that question. "N-No. Our relationship is platonic. Master Jackie is mostly interested in humans, not her own race, for whatever reason. I can't deny that I once harbored feelings for her, but I moved on." She responded, trying to get the redness from out of her cheeks.
"Oh…" Rena looked into the bedroom and sees a painting of what looked to be her and the rest of the gang. It accurately got all of them down from their clothes to their hair. That really begged the question, how did Jackie knew all of them? Was it because of Majestic Nina? Speaking of…
"What do you know about Majestic Nina?" Rena asked as she walked back into the living room, still trying to adjust to the small space.
"Yeah, we hardly know much about her? Tell me, is she cool? Is she magical? Does she see the future? Ooh I bet she does." Roxanne asked, back in her "Annoying talkative" state.
Maya laughed while the rest simply rolled their eyes. "Seeing into the future isn't one of her powers unfortunately…" She responded kindly to the talkative chef. "Honestly I know as much as all of you do, if not more…"
She rubbed her temples as she tried to think back at what she knew about Majestic Nina. "I remember her coming here to see if Jackie was ok. I only saw her face. She looked like a very beautiful woman with deep blue eyes you can get lost in. She had this… ethereal presence about her. Also, she wore this brown dress that covered her from her hair to her toes."
Maya got off the couch and walked over to one of the windows in the living room. "She is a mysterious one. She keeps talking about how important Dreams are and that Nightmares will always exist as long as there are Dreams…"
"Interesting…" Bly placed a hand under her chin in thought, "Anything else?" Maya shook her head. The Princess sighed in frustration. That didn't help her much. She wanted to know all about this Majestic Nina. Just who is she and what is of her significance to the Nightmare King? There is so much she wanted to know.
"Do you… u-um…" Keera stuttered, not use to asking questions herself, "Know about the other Dreamers? Especially the one on this world c-called… E-Earth?" She asked in almost like a whisper.
Maya barely heard her, but she knew what she was asking. "The Dreamer on the Earth, you ask? Well I don't know anything other than her name, as I do with the other Dreamers. I believe her name was Emma Green…"
"Emma Green…" Bly rolled that name on her tongue. "Hmm, why does that name seem so familiar to me?" She asked silently to herself.
Suddenly a huge black hand broke through the window and grabbed Maya. The Elven woman screamed as she was pulled outside. Another black hand reached in through the broken window and grabbed Rena.
"RENA! MAYA!" Bly reached for Rena's hand but the young thief was taken outside before she could even get close to her. A loud roar came from outside that shook the entire house. Then there was loud footsteps going away from the house.
"We must save them!" Umi exclaimed, getting out her claws, but just before she ran outside, she heard multiple screams from the townsfolk nearby. They all looked out the other window and see a pack of Night Dwellers that looked like evil fairies, attacking the townsfolk. This was not good at all…
"Ugh!" Bly exclaimed as yanked some of her air in distress, "Who should we save?"

1) Eh you should know who is speaking with those kinds of dialogue.
2) Sorry if the OC's seem slightly off, I am not on top of my game today and I was trying my horrible attempt to add humor.
It is time to make your decision. Their fate is now in your hands… Remember, the obvious answer isn't always the best answer. Go and be logical with your answers. (Hint: The 3rd solution is an obvious choice, but do you REALLY think it is correct? Don't let me stop you if you pick it though)
1) Save Rena and Maya
2) Save the Townsfolk
3) Be Smart and split up into 2 groups.
I'll update whenever possible. Mina (Everyone in Japanese) Goodbye, see ya again!
