NIGHTS couldn't believe that his brother would actually let Aza go without any conditions or whatsoever. The moment he spotted her, he was so overjoyed.
"So Reala just wanted to talk you? Why can't he just approach in a nice way to do it, rather than kidnapping you? He asked.
"Maybe he can't, because he might be caught by his comrades and maybe you'll think he's up to something", Aza said.
"But still, it sounded unlike him."
"Yeah, I thought that too. But you know what? He's kinda sweet."
NIGHTS sigh. It really sounded untrue." Let's get back on the dream gate. Owl's feathers are probably falling out from worrying" he said. Aza nodded in agreement.
As they flew back to the door, Aza asked NIGHTS on what happened on Leo and Taurus.
"Leo retreated, while I beated Taurus", he answered. "It seems that Leo didn't have much experience on fighting and Taurus was more on attacking rather on defensing."
As they arrived at the dream gate, NIGHTS and Aza were surprise to find Gavin and Corvus talking to Owl.
"There you are. Where have you two been? You had me worried" Owl said to them.
Instead of the both of them answering the question, Aza ended up talking to Corvus and her brother while NIGHTS did all the explaining.
"So Reala kidnapped you, and then he let you go without any condition? "Corvus said in amazement. "It seems that he's not that bad after all."
"I can hear you from over here Corvus!" NIGHTS growled. It was obvious that he still not believing
"Ignore him, he's just upset" Gavin whispered.
When Wizeman heard the news that Sagittarius has been defeated, he really did keep his word on not telling Reala about the release of his next creation. But what he didn't know was that Reala ended up showing pity on the visitor.
"Gemini awaken", he ordered.
Two masked figures suddenly emerged from the darkness; they had the appearance of a ninja but with different color. The first one was black while the second one was grayish silver. Wizeman named the black one Castor, while the other one Pollux.
"I want you two to get rid of the visitor and take their Ideyas", Wizeman ordered. Do not tell my other servants as well as my first leveled creation, and bring back the traitor NIGHTS. And if they want to battle, only the visitors can lay a finger on you. Not NIGHTS"
The two nodded, and as quiet and swift as a real ninja. They were gone.
Owl then informed to Aza that new door has finally arrived in the plaza. They saw it on the east.
"Let's go check it out then", NIGHTS said excitedly for he knew it was another adventure.
"I'm with you", Gavin and Corvus both said. Aza was the last one to say" I'm in."
The nightopia they all visited was an abandoned city that looked like it was destroyed by war. Aza was silent as cloud while Gavin couldn't bear to look at the city. It seems like they didn't want to remember something.
"Hey, are you two alright?" NIGHTS asked. It was unlike Aza to stay quiet to long, but this was new to NIGHTS.
"T-t-t-this place", stammered Aza, at the same time trembling. "It's the place of all our lost."
"I thought I never see this place again" Gavin said in a low voice.
NIGHTS then remembered about Aza's past. Her parents were killed by a war and they were separated from each other after wards. He told it Owl and Corvus.
"I think it's best if we leave this place", Owl said." It seems like any moment those buildings would fall down."
"We have a confession to make", Aza said to them. "And it's something that we rarely tell."
"Aza you don't need to tell it all", NIGHTS said.
"No it's something else! It's about how this war started and why people mistreated us!"
"NIGHTS, I think we should listen to them", Corvus said. "There's just something we should try to understand about them."
Aza and Gavin told them about their past. Gavin and Aza were born with unusual powers that can create and summon by the help of shadows. Their father was a shadow summoner, while their mother was human. Gavin was a full time summoner, while Aza was half human which was very rare. The human government knew about her existence and wanted to use her as a weapon of war, because she can possess a power that no other summoner can match. But Aza cannot fully control her power that time. The summoners then rebelled against the humans for mistreating their kind. Then it drew the conclusion of war between shadow summoners and humans. Their father was an elite summoner but he died defending his family while their mother was shot. During the war, Gavin hid Aza as much as possible and he promised that he would protect her no matter what. But that promise didn't last long, the circus people took them after the war and separated them. Neither both of them mentioned about their past or what they are. Aza and Gavin were both mistreated while they were living in the circus.
"So that's why I said I didn't care if Wizeman was your master or if your nightmaren, because I knew how you felt", Aza said to NIGHTS.
The trio felt extreme pity at the twins. At such an early age, they knew the harshness of the world and they never experience happiness until now.
"I wish you could have told me before", NIGHTS said. "But why didn't you tell us before anyway?"
"Because we were afraid that you might be like everyone else", Gavin said instead of Aza." We've grown weary from others so that's why we never told to anyone. Can you promise to keep our secret?"
"We firmly kept it", said Owl, NIGHTS and Corvus.
Aza and Gavin smiled at their answer. Now they knew that there were still others that they can willingly trust.
But before they leave the city, their path was blocked by the nightmaren twins, Gemini.
