When Reala heard that about NIGHTS escape, he was pretty furious about it.
"WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED!? "He bellowed at the silver jester who watched NIGHTS.
"Sir I told you I was attacked by shadows!" The nightmaren said as he trembled before him.
"Shadows don't just move around by themselves!" his voice was echoing around the place sounding like he just got angry at one of Jackle's screw ups.
"I don't know what to say anymore!" guard then began to wail. He wasn't sure whether the attack of the shadows was real or not anymore.
Before Reala could say another word, a booming voice called for him.
REALA! COME TO MY CHAMBER THIS INSTANT!
"Coming master", Reala called back. "I'll get back on you."
As Reala went to his master's chamber, he noticed Jackle. He had the big silly grin plastered on face. This was unlikely him for him to grin that big. He then heard him mumbling," sapphire blue eyes, yellow hair, lovely face and so on. Pretty little visitor."
"He had a crush on the visitor?" Reala thought. "I can't believe this, he just met her."
As he approaches the door's chamber he knocked and waited for a response.
"Enter" said the voice from inside.
As he entered, he kneeled down to show his respect. "You summoned for me, master?"
"Yes," said Wizeman. "I have heard the news that NIGHTS has escaped, is that true?."
"Yes master that is true", he answered. "The guard said that he was attacked by shadows."
Wizeman looked a little unconvinced. "That's the most original excuse I have ever heard."
Reala had to agree, but he didn't say how furious he was at the guard.
"I have decided to unleash Aquarius", Wizeman said after a brief silence." As well as the other two new creations and I want you to deal with the visitor Jackle 's mumbling about."
"As you wish masterWizeman." Reala said as he did the order.
As NIGHTS and Aza explored more of Ocean Valley, they found a bunch of Nightopians scampering on their direction, they look like as if were trying to run away from someone or something.
"What's wrong the Nightopians NIGHTS?" Aza asked.
"I don't know "he answered. "Let's go check out the problem then."
"Ok."
"NIGHTS! AZA! There's trouble!" Owl cried out as he saw them.
"What's the problem old bird?" NIGHTS asked.
"A new nightmaren is wreaking havoc in a small town inhabited by Nightopians!" he said.
"What does it looked like?"
"Its whole body is made out of water and it carries a vase in which it draws its power. I think I heard one Nightopian screaming out its name. I think it was Aquarius."
"Wizeman based a Nightmaren on a constellation?" Aza said confuse.
"What's a constellation?" NIGHTS asked.
"I'll tell you later; right now we had to focus on the havoc that Nightmaren is causing."
Knowing Aza was right, NIGHTS agreed. She was a little reckless then he thought. Then they took off to find Aquarius.
"Be careful! That Nightmaren can call upon the power of the seas and rain", Owl warned.
Upon arriving the town Owl mentioned, almost nothing survived but a few tree barks. Fortunately the Nightopian residence manages to evacuate before Aquarius could literally drown them.
"Now where did that Nightmaren went off to?" NIGHTS said as he scanned the area.
Aza then notice that the remaining water that surrounds the town was taking shape. In a nervous voice she said," NIGHTS, I think I know the answer to your question."
"Really? Where?"
In an instant a huge figure emerged from the sand, it carried a vase and and it also wore some kind of talisman around its head, it then quickly went into the water.
"So that's the Nightmaren Owl was talking about", NIGHTS said it came to its full view. "Ok, let's see what this can do."
"Careful NIGHTS, remember what Owl said about its power", Aza reminded.
But before they could set into action, Aquarius summoned a tidal wave which swept both of them into the water. Aza was got separated from NIGHTS and was now trying not to panic. NIGHTS began to search frantically for after, but soon he was relieved to see that she had clung into a nearby rock.
"Are you alright Aza?" NIGHTS called out.
"Yes!" she answered.
"Don't move from that rock. I'll come and get you."
But before NIGHTS could even move, the shadows that tried to free him appeared. They then returned Aza back into shore.
"Now do you believe me?"
Aza just gave him thumbs up as her reply.
The shadows began dragging Aquarius back into the shore; it then began to weaken the moment it left the water.
"NIGHTS I think this is your chance to attack it!" Aza yelled giving him a signal. Don't worry, I'll distract it while you attack, aim for the core! "
"What core?" NIGHTS thought, but before he could ask, Aza began to set in action.
HEY YOU! YOU OVERGROWN WATER VASE! OVER HERE! She wasn't good on telling different names.
"I better find out the core she meant or else she'll be in trouble, besides the shadows won't be here for long."
NIGHTS began to think about the most possible core he could think of. He paralooped on Aquarius's talisman. In an instant, damage had inflicted on it.
"You did it!" Aza cried happily. "Now if you just keep that up, we'll finish this fight in a flash."
But the battle wasn't easy for the both of them. Every time NIGHTS inflicted damage on the nightmaren, it escapes into the water and summons tidal waves which swept Aza into the water, and after being in the water for a few minutes the shadows would appear and help Aza, and at the same moment, they would drag Aquarius along with them. Aza was worn out from swimming, avoiding whirlpools, trying to get the nightmaren's attention and trying to stay alive.
"One last paraloop and this battle is over", NIGHTS said as he notice the vase Aquarius was holding is going to be shattered, for it was the source of its power. "Hang in there just a little longer Aza!"
And with his last attack, Aquarius was good as gone.
We won! We won! Aza said happily as she jumped up and down.
"Yeah we won alright."
Aza's arms flew around him giving him a hug. "You're amazing NIGHTS."
NIGHTS blush a little and said, you're amazing yourself too."
Suddenly a blue shining light went to Aza, and without a doubt NIGHTS knew exactly it was.
"That's the Ideya of intelligence" he said to Aza. Take it, it's yours to keep. And besides, the Ideyas are part of your heart.
Taking the Ideya, Aza could feel the intelligence flowing through her mind, as if there was something that had returned to her.
"Should we continue exploring then?" He asked her.
"Sure", she answered. "After that, let's go back to the dream gate to let Owl know that were fine."
"And tell me more about the constellations that you mentioned before." He said.
"While you tell me more about the Ideyas."
NIGHTS then dualized with her, and flew away.
