Chapter five:

They make it to the location which is a stage that has one half closed off to the audience while the other half is open to everyone and it holds a podium where a woman who looks to be in the early forties stands.

The woman has black hair that is greying and warm brown eyes with slightly pale skin then a black dress in which she added black boots that only went half way up her legs. She seems a touch tall but not really all that much.

There are royal guards standing in front of the stage staying between the audience and where the princess is most likely going to be raising the sun, on the stage, obviously to make sure no one tries anything.

The woman gets the ok to start and so she does just that. "Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! It is with great honor and pleasure to begin the sun celebration!" She says loud enough for everyone to hear.

The cheers explode out loud, happy and excited.

This world's Haruhi looks to the moon and notices four stars moving quickly towards the moon only to seemingly vanish behind it and the moon softly glows only for the pattern on it to vanish; so it no longer has the human like shape on the moon but instead it's beautiful pattern from before the imprisonment. She looks scared as she fears the worst and she turns back to the stage. She barely notices she had not been paying attention to the speech.

"So without further ado let us welcome Princess Hikaru!" The woman gestures her hand to the curtains next to her that open allowing two spotlights over lapping go to where Princess Hikaru should be standing but is gone.

Everyone gasps in horror at this and some begin muttering.

"This isn't good." This world's Haruhi take a step back. "Not good at all."

The guards begin immediately start searching for the princess but she seems to have just completely vanished into thin air.

Suddenly evil sounding laughter is heard almost echoing slightly.

Up on the stage black smoke seems to come from nowhere and it spirals up until it is tall enough to fit a person inside only to vanish revealing a teen or young adult girl standing there.

She has ginger but a shade or two darker like it has a shadow over it and flowing in the breeze like how it should as a princess but it's a dark princess's hair. Her eyes are narrowed like a cat and have a red glow to them. Her cloak is tinted purple with grey sparkles that look like stars, not to mention it constantly flows to the side like in a breeze rather than just draping over her body like cloaks are expected to do. She is wearing a long sleeved dark blue almost black with sky blue dragon flames looking designs sown into the shirt that line all along the ends of the shirt that open for her neck and waist. On the sleeves of the shirt is not only outlined with small blue flame like designs but on the front part of the arms it is like the dragon blew fire onto the front part of the sleeves as if the frozen in place burning flames make its way up to a centimetre past her elbows. Her pants are tinted blue jeans and they are designed with grey crescent moons on her hips. Her shoes are shoes that are like flats with the sky blue like flame design sprouting from it on the front reaching up to a centimeter past her knees. She also has a small dark blue crown on her head with a moon carved into the front since the crown is big enough to still be seen by others, at the right distance, just still a small crown. She smiles showing her now sharp teeth as she laughs with pure evilness.

This world's Haruhi gasps as her mind quickly works out who this is. "Oh no."

The girl on the stage looks around at the people staring in confusion, horror, fear and shock. "Ah my beloved subjects." She says taking a step forward. "It's been so long since I last saw you. Did you miss me?" Her voice is speaking with obviously fake innocence.

The woman points to the girl. "Seize her! She must know where the princess is!"

The guards charge towards the girl who now looks a little angered and like she wants to growl. "Stay back you fools!" She snaps at them and right after speaking she gathers darkness that the color is like a black cloak but in two flowing snake like clouds coming from below her feet that she controls making it spiral around her going up to her hands as she raises her hands side by side above her head then once all the flowing cloud has gathered there she quickly moves her hands down to reach out in front of her pointing her palms, which have a slight dark glow to them, at the approaching guards.

She fires a beam of darkness that sends the guards flying back crashing into the ground unable to fight as they are no match to her power.

The people are frozen scared as they watch the girl for her next move.

She looks around at the group as they watch her and she lowers her hands that are no longer glowing. "Do you not know who I am?" She turns to the woman and goes over to her grabbing the woman's chin in one of her hands making the woman's face stay facing her. "Did you not recall the legends? Did you not see the signs!?" She lets go of the woman and looks to the others slightly frustrated but quite angry that after this long people seemed to have forgotten who she is.

"What have you done with our princess!?" This world's Tamaki demands taking a step forward.

The girl snarls. "Am I not royal enough for you?! How dare you not know who I am! I am your ruler and you will now bow to me!"

"I know who you are and I have seen the signs!" This world's Haruhi takes a step forward gaining everyone's attention. "You are Princess Kaoru Hitachiin though you now go by Princess Nightmare."

There are gasps, including ones of shock from the host club from this world's Haruhi's words, as people begin to notice that yes indeed it truly is Princess Nightmare.

Princess Nightmare smirks insanely but she still looks good. "Well it seems you now remember who I am." She says. "So you must know why I am here then."

This world's Haruhi looks a little scared. "You are here to… to…." She couldn't finish as the very thought of what Princess Nightmare is here to do shakes her up, after all it just isn't natural.

Princess Nightmare laughs before speaking. "Remember this day my subjects for it was your last. The night will last FOREVER!" She tilts her head slightly back with an evil grin as she slightly throws her hands into the air like showing power above everyone else.

"Why would you do something like this!?" Host club Tamaki asks taking a step forward. "Aren't you supposed to be one of the good guys!?"

This worlds Tamaki takes a small step forward. "What happened in the past is in the past! The world isn't like that anymore! It really is true, things have changed! Now please stop this. Right now you probably don't have full replenish of your magic because of what happened. But you won't have to worry about that if you just stop this! I swear that things aren't like the past."

Princess Nightmare narrows her eyes. "Things like this don't change no matter how long you give it. Humanity is this way!" She says. "I have so much strength inside of me that you don't even KNOW what I could do! If the world isn't going to love me then I'll teach it to fear me instead!" Her eyes turn red like someone using powerful magic as she speaks, starting from when she said 'know' with a slight toss almost nod like movement of her head to emphasize the word 'know', she causes the room to shake a little when she says this only for it to stop when she finishes the rest of her words in those two sentences. She stomped her foot onto the ground as she said 'I'll teach it to fear me instead' making sure that it isn't just a quick thing instead almost taking the whole part of the sentence except the instead part didn't really get anything in the stomp and she makes sure it doesn't look stupid. Her eyes even go back to the way they were before as if the red in her eyes was mostly for scare or just happened to be a part of it to emphasize anger perhaps. "There is obviously only room for one princess and that princess is ME!" She tilts her head back laughing evilly.

This worlds Haruhi turns to the others that are a part of the group she brought to where the sun was supposed to be risen. "We need to go and find a way to stop her! Follow me." She races towards the library with the others following.

They make it to the library and shut the door behind themselves.

"What's going on!?" Host club Tamaki asks.

This worlds versions of them that are there with them share a look before this world's Haruhi explains.

"Well… Many years ago there was an incident. My father and mother told me this story many times as they remember hearing about it when they were young. My great great grandparents were young when it happened and the story of what happened is true though some are starting to say it's just an old fairy tale. You see …. Back then no one liked the night, stars and moon that Princess Kaoru brought out every night. This caused an imbalance between the two. Princess Hikaru was given so much glory, praise and attention ever since she took over the duties of the day when their parents died when they were little. This made her shadow cast over Princess Kaoru leaving her isolated from everyone it's said the only one who truly understood and was her only friend was the moon she controlled. Everyone pushed her away and thanks to everything that Princess Hikaru was given she became blind to her sisters suffering until a few nights before the incident happened. She felt guilty to not notice but she also knew she couldn't give her sister any wisdom or relate or anything as all she knew was the day with no isolation. She could only watch, unable to do anything, away from Princess Kaoru as the destruction of the one that needed her most continued. Princess Kaoru became resentful, bitter and angry. A few nights later on this night coming up once the sun set marks another year it's been since it happened. The moon refused to set to make way for the dawn. Princess Kaoru came out to where the balcony Princess Hikaru stands on to make announcements and to look out on the kingdom. Everyone was telling her to lower the moon then waited for her response or to do as told. Princess Kaoru announced right there and then in front of the whole town that they will love her and the moon even if she had to make them. Everyone was shocked and confused because nothing like this has ever happened before. Princess Kaoru continued and told everyone that the sun will never rise again and that the night will last forever. That's when Princess Hikaru came out onto the balcony behind Princess Kaoru making the younger turn. Princess Hikaru tried to reason with her sister however Princess Kaoru refused to listen and even yelled that there was only room for one Princess and that it would be her. She slammed her foot down onto the ground then the unexpected happened. Below Princess Kaoru some sort of darkness came up and surrounded the younger Princess. It changed her into an evil monster of the night feeding off her hate, anger and bitterness. Princess Kaoru allowed this to happen and allowed herself to become one with the darkness which changed her looks as it did so. She was still her but different at the same time. She was even more powerful. She also called herself Princess Nightmare making some say that she wasn't in control like a possession. She promised to imprison Princess Hikaru in the sun with the new power she had. She at first attacked Princess Hikaru with a beam of darkness created from some extra darkness she called out from under her. Princess Hikaru used her own powers to create a beam of light. When the two beams collided they seemed equal however the beam of darkness pushed the beam of light back and once it hit Princess Hikaru it sent her flying back into the balcony's edge wall. Princess Kaoru knew and even said out loud that with that power she will rule the world of eternal night. She went to use her powers to seal Princess Hikaru away in the sun however Princess Hikaru had escaped back into the castle while the other was distracted. Princess Kaoru shook it off and jumped down from the balcony to stand in front of the people. She demanded that they bowed down to her glory and everyone knew if they didn't there would be a punishment that no one wanted to find out what it was. They prepared to do as told when Princess Hikaru came out of the front doors of the castle with one hand behind her back. She tried one last time to reason with her sister but Princess Kaoru still refused to listen but I guess everyone calls her Princess Nightmare now until she is returned to the way she was if that ever happens. Left with no other choice and no time to try to think of another one Princess Hikaru brought out a tiara from behind her back. The tiara that their mother sealed her powers and her life into to make it very very powerful. Princess Hikaru put the tiara on her own head and said that if her real sister was still in there then she would come out and come back to them. Princess Nightmare told her that she is the younger sister…. The one that had been ignored and uncared for. Princess Hikaru regretfully used the tiaras magic and adding some of her own powers she used a more powerful beam that knocked Princess Nightmare back towards the moon. As the light shards from the beam around them faded everyone watched as Princess Nightmare went towards the moon then just as she was above others heads she faded. The moons design changed to what you saw earlier and everyone knew that Princess Nightmare had been sealed away in the moon. Princess Hikaru was very upset about what she had to do and blamed herself for letting it happen even though everyone else told her it wasn't her fault. Since then Princess Hikaru has taken on responsibilities for both day and night, sun and moon. Peace has been maintained since then and every sunrise on the night the incident happened the sun celebration became a tradition. One town will have Princess Hikaru go to their town and raise the sun at dawn in front of everyone as they have all stayed up to watch it. Also the incident was an eye opener so people began looking at the night time differently and discovered the mysteries along with the beauty of the night. No longer was the night, stars and moon hated anymore. The people who remember the incident looked up at the moon and thought about the Princess of the night before she became the monster of night while those who may not know the tale simply do not hate the night time. But now she got free from her imprisonment and she's going to send the world into eternal night." She says.

The host club are shocked into silence.

"Let's start looking for something, anything." This world's Haruhi starts searching the books for anything that may possibly help find a way to stop Princess Nightmare.

But even with everyone looking they cannot find anything.

It is starting to look like a lost cause.

This worlds Haruhi groans in frustration as they can't find anything. "There has to be something!"

"What about the crown that holds much power?" Host club Haruhi asks.

This worlds Haruhi shakes her head. "No. We have no idea where it is and with Princess Nightmare back I doubt we'll even be able to get close enough to the castle to try to find it. Besides I have never heard of anyone other than those of royalty being able to control that much power before." She explains as they keep looking.

"Then how are we supposed to defeat her?" This worlds Kyouya says. "Not even all of who know how to use magic combined could stand up to her. The princesses are just too powerful especially with the darkness that transformed Princess Kaoru into Princess Night giving her more power since it was pretty much added to her when she became Princess Nightmare."

This worlds Hunny nods. "But if we can't defeat her then the world we be lost in an eternal night."

This worlds Mori grunts in agreement.

"I don't know." This worlds Haruhi pauses and glances down in worry only to blink then let her expression change. "There has to be something here." She says with some determination.
