Nightmare castle

Throne room

NiGHTS and Reala drifted into the spacious room. Wizeman was nowhere to be found. Reala floated forward, and called out, "Wizeman! You wanted to fight us, right? Well, here we are! So come out and fight!"

Wizeman's figure appeared before his empty throne. "So you have come, Reala. And I see you have brought NiGHTS with you."

"Wizeman, it's time to stop this madness! You're outnumbered, 2-to-1!" NiGHTS yelled.

Wizeman chuckled. "Heh, anything I have created I can just as easily destroy." Wizeman pulsed with a dark aura for a second, and the air around him shook.

"Now you shall know the true power of a god…" He said before NiGHTS and Reala charged at him.

The 2 flew around his spiky head. 3 of Wizeman's hands came for NiGHTS and Reala. NiGHTS drill dashed one of the hands in its eye, and it recoiled backwards. Reala flew behind the one that was chasing him, and he assaulted it with a flurry of punches and kicks. It flew back to its master.

The third one came after NiGHTS from behind, and just as it was about to close its icy fingers around NiGHTS's body, Reala appeared and drill dashed it in the side, and delivered a kick to its eye. "Thanks, Ree." NiGHTS said.

"Thank me later, look at that!" Reala proclaimed, jabbing a finger at Wizeman. He shot out a huge orb of swirling darkness at the 2 Maren.

The 2 flew away, and the ball of darkness swerved and changed direction, chasing after the two. Meanwhile, while NiGHTS and Reala were fleeing, Wizeman fired more balls of darkness. After 10 seconds, 5 spheres of darkness were chasing after the 2.

Reala did a paraloop, sucking in 2 of the spheres of darkness, and they vanished. NiGHTS did the same, and 2 more vanished. Reala tried another paraloop, but this time, the sphere of darkness turned and soared away from the 2, and then coming back.

Whenever one of the 2 Nightmaren tried using a Paraloop, the sphere of darkness turned and came back, avoiding their efforts.

"Why won't this stupid thing vanish?" Reala yelled, trying another Paraloop in vain.

"How 'bout we try doing a paraloop together?" NiGHTS asked.

Reala bit his lip. "It's worth a shot… lets do it!"

The 2 flew in a paraloop together, and as they did it, they glowed brilliantly. As soon as they formed a circle, the sphere of darkness tried fleeing, but it was simply pulled back into the paraloop. "It worked!" NiGHTS said happily.

The 2 flew back to Wizeman, and he shot 10 more dark balls at them. NiGHTS and Reala did another paraloop together, glowed again while they did it, and all 10 dark spheres were sucked in and vanished.

Wizeman mumbled something, and then fired a tall column of whirling wind. The 2 tried using another double Paraloop, but they were caught in the wind and hurled back out.

"Ugh! This thing is tough!" Reala yelled, gripping his side in pain.

"We can't use a double paraloop… what do we do?" NiGHTS said.

"H-hey! Let's try a Double Drill Dash! Who knows? It might work!" Reala said.

"Yeah… it just might!" NiGHTS said.

So, as the whirlwind approached, the 2 nightmaren drill-dashed towards the column of wind, glowed a bright light, and the whirlwind was batted back towards Wizeman. It made impact, and Wizeman roared in pain, hands flailing.

Wizeman shot a blast of darkness at the 2 nightmaren, and just as it was about to make impact with NiGHTS and Reala, an orange shadow slipped in front of the 2 and the blast was reflected back at Wizeman! It hit him square in the chest, and crashed into his golden throne, destroying it.

The orange shadow unfolded, and revealed it to be Jackle! "Heh, ain't it just great to have a magical cape that reflects everything, huh, Wizey!" Jackle taunted.

Wizeman floated forward, his masked eyes boring into Jackle. Jackle pulled some cards out from inside of his cloak, and threw them forward. They sizzled through the air, but Wizeman sent a fist forward and batting away the cards. The fist impacted with Jackle, knocking him hurtling into a stone pillar, crashing into it and breaking the pillar.

"Jackle!" NiGHTS yelled to Jackle, extending a hand.

Reala pulled her back. "Jackle'll be okay, NiGHTS. He's tough." Reala calmed. NiGHTS only nodded.

Wizeman muttered something again, his hand returning to him, and then clones of Wizeman appeared in a large circle, surrounding NiGHTS and Reala. They whirled around in a blinding circle, and neither of the 2 Maren could tell which one was the real one. "Try defeating me now, fools!" They all yelled loudly, their voice booming around the room.

The 2 chose the nearest target, and double drill-dashed into it. It vanished, and nothing had happened. "Rats! That one wasn't the real one!" NiGHTS shouted.

"Well, don't give up! Keep trying!" Reala said.

The 2 began drill dashing the Wizemans, each one they hit fake. When there was one left, more false Wizemans appeared, and they repeated their strange dance. "Crap! And we were so close to finishing this!" Reala lamented.

The 2 began double drill-dashing the Wizemans, and when one more remained, the process restarted. After 3 tries, Reala groaned. "This is pointless! We can't beat him!"

"Don't give up! When there's one more remaining, lets attack that one, and we'll do it!" NiGHTS encouraged.

Reala nodded. "You're right, NiGHTS. That plan might just work! Let's do this!" Reala said, and the 2 nightmaren began drill-dashing the clones. When one more remained, the clones appeared again, and just as they were about to start spinning again, NiGHTS and Reala double drill-dashed him. The copies vanished, and their former master recoiled backwards, and his hands hung limp in the air. "Yeah! We got him!" Reala said, punching the air.

"Grr… insolent… fools… I shall… decimate you…" Wizeman grumbled.

NiGHTS and Reala gripped each others hands, flew into the air, and charged at Wizeman's iron skull. The 2 drill dashed, glowing like the sun, and fused together into a single bolt of light, charging for Wizeman's face.

NiGHTS and Reala shot through the iron head of Wizeman, cutting through the steely exterior. Wizeman roared in pain, light shooting out from where the 2 cut through. The light shone brightly in the darkness, and Wizeman's figure became unnoticeable because the light surrounded him.

"ARRGH! I… CANNOT… LOSE! I CREATED… NIGHTMARE… BUT I LOST… TO YOU TWO! AAAAAARRGH!" Wizeman bellowed.

The light surrounded the area, and NiGHTS quickly embraced Reala. "Reala! What's going on?"

Reala gripped onto NiGHTS. "I don't know, but just hold onto me!"

Then, the Light consumed everything, and very faintly, a cry of despair was heard before being swallowed in the light as well.
