I am finally over my writers block! Rejoice pitiful humans, so that you can bow down to… Oh, nevermind.

Chapter 23

The Shadow of the Killer

The wraithlike demon made his way over towards the small group, pausing to take a headcount.

Irken defect, terrifying bat-winged thing, badass female Irken, short ugly Irken, psycho robot, badass female robot, more badass creepy robot, moose thingy, female Hunter, Sklalian Hunter, calm Hunter, X Hunter, big-head, scary girl… Now where is-?

He was suddenly sent flying by a violent impact smashing into his back. Ow.

He flipped upright.

"No! Don't/I mean no/kill me!/harm!"

Nny raised an eyebrow.

"Are you saying two sentences at once?"

"Yes, it was intended for a creepy entrance, but now it's just giving me a migraine."

The creature was tall and thin, as skinny as Nny. His fingers were long and spiderlike. His eyes were wide violet orbs, and he had two antennae-like horns protruding from the top of his head. He smiled revealing needle teeth.

"Look, I'm not anyone's enemy here." He said in his oddly silky voice, slightly shaky from being ambushed. He glanced nervously around him. He had been surrounded. "There's no need to attack me."

Johnny glared at him. "I have no reason to believe that."

The thing grinned at him. "Well," He chuckled, "I haven't tried to eat you yet."

The glare never wavered.

"What in the tenth level of hell are you anyway?" Shadow asked.

The creature's grin widened.

"This only applies to the guy who attacked me, but you should all listen up." He cleared his throat.

"Only one color, but not one size,

Stuck on the ground, yet easily flies,

Present in sun, but not in rain,

Doing no harm, and feeling no pain"

"A RIDDLE?" Nny snarled. "ARE YOU JOKING!"

The thing backed away.

"Okay, calm down, dammit!" He snapped. "I'm your… shadow, so to speak. A twisted and warped version of yourself." He paused. "Not twisted in the sense of being… well, twisted. In the sense of being different than you."

He grinned. "I am a nightmare, summoned by the big headed human."

"MY HEAD'S NOT BIG!"

"And he had a hand in my creation." A mocking tone came into his voice. "Oh silly little boy! Don't you know not to mess with interdimensional machines?"

Dib's eyes widened.

"Waiiiit…." He muttered.

The thing grinned. "Hang on we're getting there…"

"Halloween…" Dib gasped. "On Halloween I accidently created a nightmare world in my head… You were there! I saw you!"

The creature whipped his head around so that it was upside-down.

"Exactly little boy." He sniggered.

"Everyone just calls me Night…" He cackled. "But in reality, I am Nightmare Nny."

Who woulda thunk! It was Nightmare Johnny! How 'bout that eh?

Night: Read and review or Lord Dread Raven will melt your bowls!

Me: Damn strait I will!
