NIGHTS flew around his cage feeling bored and restless. Reala and Jackle had left him a few moments ago, due to unexplained circumstances. He was guarded by a third class nightmaren who happens to be a jester too, a silver jester to be exact.

"So how's your life going? "NIGHTS asked as he broke the silence.

"Why would you want to know?" It said.

"Nothing. I'm just bored and there's nothing to do here but fly."

"Well better enjoy it while you can", the guard said coldly." You're never going to know what punishment you'll receive from Wizeman."

Why does everybody say that every time? NIGHTS thought.

Suddenly out from the ground, three shadow figures emerged unexpectedly causing the guard to be alarmed. The figures began attacking the guard until he was lost consciousness.

"Now what just exactly happened?" NIGHTS thought confuse upon seeing the whole event.

Before NIGHTs could ask the shadows their business, they began to search for a way to free him, which only made him more confuse. But after several attempts, the shadows failed and immediately left.

"Wait, wait! Where are you all going", NIGHTS called out. But they were already gone." Great, now how am I supposed to get out of here now?"

NIGHTS!

NIGHTS then saw Aza coming towards him

"Aza it's you" NIGHTS said happily. "Thank goodness you're not hurt, did those shadows told you I needed help?"

Huh? What shadows? Aza asked. "I didn't see any shadows on my way here."

Aza then notice the fallen guard." Did you do that?"

"No I didn't."

"Now, how do I get you out of the cage?" Aza asked.

NIGHTS didn't thought about it. "Good question then."

All of a sudden, Aza's hand began glowing again.

Is that a red Ideya Aza? NIGHTS said.

"I suppose so", she answered.

"Well you can get me out of here by the help of that Ideya. Climb up here and I'll do the rest."

"Ok then."

Aza then stood at the bottom of the cage and looked at the chain. Much to NIGHTS surprise, she began to do a combination of backflip and cartwheeling on her to the top.

"Where did you learn to do that?" NIGHTS asked as she entered the cage.

"Well I didn't leave the circus learning nothing", she said." I'll tell you about this after we get out of this cage were in."

"Ok good idea."

NIGHTS then dualized with Aza and escaped the cage.

While flying NIGHTS asked, "Hey Aza, you mentioned the circus thing twice. What exactly is it?"

Aza didn't want to answer but she had to on behalf of her friend, "It's a place where I was taken after my parents died, that's where I learned all the stunts that you saw. I was trained to be an acrobat."

"I bet it was fun there", NIGHTS said playfully.

"No….it wasn't", Aza said sadly. "They treated children like me as tools. That place was a nightmare to be exact."

NIGHTS noticed that there was pain in her voice as she said those words. He felt guilty for asking." I'm sorry I asked, I didn't mean it", he apologized. "I was just curious."

Aza let out a little laugh and said, don't worry, we all make mistakes. I was like that before I went to live in the circus. NIGHTS, I hope you won't mind if I ask you this."

"What is it then?"

"How do you know the Nightmaren who went by the name Reala?"

Oh him? He was always a threat. Doing his dirty works for Wizeman."

"Who's that?"

"The one who rules the realm of Nightmare. And also his boss."

NIGHTS and Aza talked as they flew across Ocean Valley, the young girl was so happy that someone like NIGHTS became her friend.
