Chapter 7 - Are you Afraid of the NIGHT?

Aaron: NIGHTS!!!! NIGHTS!!! Nights, are you here?

Nights: Over here Aaron! *flying*

Nick: Nights! You're OK!

Nights: And you?

Kelsea: We, got the Ideya! So you can seal it in the palace!

Liza: That leaves 2 Ideya left!

Nights: What about YOU Ace? You doin' OK?

Ace: Uhhhh...Well let's just say I had a "high-flyin'" good time!

Nights: Oh?

Aaron: YAH! Ace made a real impressive performance back there! He FLEW
into a battle I had with that girl you told me about and saved my life!

Nights: AH? ACE! I'M SO PROUD! *hugs him* OH ACE! AWESOME JOB! YOU
CAN FLY NOW!!!!!

Ace: OW! rrg! I owe it all ta...(ow) you. Ow! You've got a pretty strong grip!
(Ow)

Nick: So I GUESS that means you've got your strength back!

Nights: I SURE do!

Kelsea: We already have the Ideya of Hope, Wisdom, and Intelligence! So all
that remains is the Ideya of purity, and the rare RED Ideya of Bravery!

Nights: Right!

Liza: So we'll worry about the RED one later! Where would the WHITE one be?

Nights: Only in the sparkling beautiful Metropolis known as Nightopia Central,
but after Wizeman turned it into a trash heap and something you would only find
in a bad dream, we NOW just call it... THE FINAL NIGHTMARE.

Aaron: That doesn't sound good.

Nights: It ISN'T! We need to get there and capture the white Ideya of purity,
then hope that the red one is safe.

Ace: Well c'mon! Let's get to the Final Nightmare before it gets any more
Nightmarish!

Nights: You guys can run! I'll fly over there!...and SO will Ace!

Ace: EH? Uh OK! Here I go! *flaps wings and jumps into the air* WAHOO! Let's
GO-OOMPH! Ow!

Nights: I suppose you need more practice! Very well! You can go on foot, Ace!

Ace: Uh huh...go ahead.

Nights: I'll meet you guys there! It's just ahead! Don't worry! I'll be there
when you get there! *flies off*

Ace: *sigh* I guess I was only born to fly once!

Nick: That is LOW Ace! VERY low!

Ace: Whaddaya mean? er...oh I get it! Yah, I guess I won't be too "high" for a
while!

Nick: I mean it Ace! You practically broke the rules of life!

Ace: What??? What rules? Only eat a french fry if it's been dipped in ketchup?

Nick: NO! The OTHER rule! Nights whispered ALL that stuff to you? Encouraging
you to fly? She believed in you and she got NOTHING in return!!!!!

Aaron: She prob'ly wasn't expecting anything back, Nick.

Nick: It doesn't matter? Ace, you should've given Nights a kiss!

Ace: WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! A KISS!!!!!????

Nick: Yup, it's just the rules of life. girl whispers somn, you kiss girl.
It's the rules of life, Ace! I don't make them!

Kelsea: Well...actually you DO.

Nick: Oh yah...well...oh can it! Ace, you gotta kiss Nights!

Ace: Nick, Nights might not even be REAL! This whole thing happening right now
might not be real! Nights isn't exactly the girl of my dreams!

Budum Bum!

Aaron and Ace: mmmmmmmpp...BAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Aaron: Girl of your DREAMS! I get it!!! HAW!

Nick: HEY! I'M SERIOUS!!!!! *bangs Ace in the head with plank*

Ace: iiiii....Queso! *faints*

Aaron: Do the rules of life include Spanish?

Liza: Do the rules of life include DREAM PUNS?

Kelsea: Do the rules of life include planks?

Nick: OH FOR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! OK, look we're in The Final Nightmare OK?
Let's just stop and find that stupid IDEYA!!!!!

Nights: Hello guys, glad you finally made it!

Aaron: Is THIS the Final Nightmare?

Nights: I'm afraid so. With the power of the Ideya, Wizeman turned this happy
city into one huge rusty old mansion.

Liza: How sad!

Nights: But by retrieving the Ideya from the capsule, the machine will deactivate,
and Nightopia Central will be restored!

Ace: Well let's go in!

Nights: WAIT! It's not as easy as you THINK! You need to be EXTREMELY careful
and stay with ME! I've been in that mansion before and it's a terrible place!
It's like your worst Nightmare, a Haunted House, your attic, your basement,
and SCHOOL put together!

Nick: It's THAT bad!?

Nights: Nope, it's a thousand times WORSE! Don't look into any mirrors or you'll
be put under a trance and within minutes you'll look just like your reflection
in the mirror...a skeleton.

Kelsea: *Eyes widen* Ug!

Nights: Don't open any doors or boxes without standing away from it's opening.
Usually all that pops out is a giant jack-in-the-box with bug eyes and three
rows of teeth, but some of them might be alive and will eat you or a spear could
even shoot out of it and kill you!

Liza: WOH!

Nights: And last of all, don't press ANY buttons or flick any light switches!
All the doors will open revealing gargoyles and Nightmaren and booby traps and
sometimes the rooms get even darker than they already are, so you can't find
your way around, and you may never even come OUT! So...*cheerfully smiles*
You up for it?

Aaron: Yes!

Ace: Uh uh!

Liza: No way!

Nick: Let's do it!

Kelsea: I'm still thinking!

Nights: Let's ALL go in! We'll be safe if we stay together!

Ace: *sigh* Let's get it over with.

Nights: *opens door*

Aaron: ACK! No wonder this place is haunted!

Kelsea: EW! Do we HAVE to go in there?

Nights: Hey, the leeches and rats are gonna be the LEAST of our worries when you
actually get inside. We have some blue chips to find!

Nick: Here comes a hallway! Let's see where it leads us!

Nights: Careful! Don't look in those mirrors! You got that Aaron?

Aaron: I got that Nights! You got that Ace?

Ace: Sure do Aaron! You got that Nick?

Nick: I hear ya Ace! You got that Kelsea?

Kelsea: You bet I do! You got that Liza?...Liza?...LIZA!

Liza: ICK! I look like a skeleton in this mirror! Who would be hypnotized by THAT?
It's so...ugly...and...uuuuuuu.....

Aaron: OH NO! Liza'a been hypnotized by the mirror!

Nights: LIZA! LIZA! Liza, you awake? Can you hear me?

Liza: .....yah.....mirror......

Nights: It's happened...She's under the mirror's spell. If she isn't careful, she
may die.

Aaron: Well, WHAT DO WE DO?! We can't just leave her here staring at the MIRROR!!!

Nights: I'm afraid we must. We need to continue moving on.

Kelsea: Poor Liza.

Nights: She'll be fine.

Nick: Well...let's keep moving on.

Kelsea: Alright, HEY! I think we're at the end of the hall! I'll get the door!

PANG!

Kelsea: uuuu?

CLUMP

Nick: KELSEA!!!! What's happened to Kelsea!?

Nights: OH MY GOSH! She activated a booby trap!

Ace: BOOBY TRAP??? We've lost anoher one TOO???

Aaron: Is Kelsea gonna be OK?

Nights: Well...she's fine...but she's been knocked out. This dart will make
anybody faint instantly with no hope of waking up 'til Wizeman knows when.

Nick: NO! KELSEA?

Nights: Your friend will be OK. But we need to continue without her.

Nick: BUT WE CAN'T!!!!! I'll stay here with Kelsea to make sure she's OK.

Nights: Are you SURE? You might get assaulted by swarm of Nightmaren. They
appear in numbers at the worst of times, and we won't be able to help you.

Nick: I'll be fine. Go on ahead.

Ace: OK. Be good Nick.

Aaron: Well, here's the next room.

Ace: It's really dark in here.

Nights: Well, we'll have to make do with this darkness.

Aaron: Then how do we expect to find any blue chips in here if we can't even SEE?

Nights: We use our OTHER senses!

Ace: Like WHAT? We SMELL for the blue chips?

Nights: I'm not sure. Let's do what we can.

Ace: Oh forget it! I'm turning on the lights.

Nights: NO!

CLICK

Ace: AGGGGG!!

Aaron: What's going ON?

Nights: Ace triggered another booby trap!

Aaron: A booby trap where a giant hand grabs Ace and carries him off to someplace
ELSE?

Nights: He's going to the Nightmare Dungeon. It's the Nightopia underworld.

Ace: HELP! Unless you haven't noticed, I'm being taken away by a giant HAND!

Aaron: Ace, don't panic! We'll get you out of there, and back on land in no time!

Ace: BACK ON LAND? Am I going UNDERGROUND or something?

Nights: Everything's gonna be OK, big guy! There's nothing to worry about!

Ace: I hope SOOOOO!!!!

Aaron: Well...I guess it's just you and me, Nights.

Nights: I guess so. We'd better start looking for those blue chips!

Aaron: RIGHT! Let's go!

About thirty minutes later...

Aaron: This is pretty hard. I only found three blue chips! At THIS rate, Nights and
I'll NEVER save Nightopian Central, OR the White Ideya and my friends! NIGHTS!
HOW ARE YOU DOING?........hmmm. No answer. Better keep looking.

Nights: EEEEEEEEEEEEGGGG!!!!!!!

Aaron: AH! Nights? You're....drooling! Is this normal! What's wrong?

Nights: oooorrrrrRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! ....Aa...ron.

Aaron: NIGHTS?

Nights: It...the...atmosphere...of...the...mansion...

Aaron: ?

Nights: I'm....uuu...being mutated by the....mansion's spell...

Aaron: Nights!

Nights: Help me Aaro....Aaro...Aar...Aar... RRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRR!!!!!!

Aaron: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

Nights: UAHAHAHAAAA!

Aaron: I guess I'm on my own! RRRRRR!!! Nights! I didn't want to do this...
but I have no CHOICE!!!!! It's time to say good NIGHT!!!!!
