"Who's Discord?" Neku asked her. Luna's left eye twitched as she believes this is all a joke but things here seem to 'off' to be Discord related. Luna looked towards the Nightmares, they stared at the two. Neku was waiting for one of them to attack. Luna was distracted by confusion before remembering what was going on.
"No matter, I'll handle this." She said to Neku. Neku looked at her shocked.
"And how would do that,Princess?" Neku said. Luna looked at him smirking.
"I may not have magic but I still have my Earth pony Strength." She said before thrusting her wings and slammed into one of beast. She slammed into it making it crash into a brick wall. The beast bounce off the wall and fall to the ground. The catdog nightmares just back as Luna slammed into the another beast slamming it against a wall. Neku stood there shocked at her speed and strength.
"She as strong as a Reaper or even stronger." He said to himself before noticing the grounded Tyranto Rex get up. It's mouth began to be engulf by fire, it glowed like a campfire before becoming a wildfire. Neku looked towards Luna as she dodged out of a Meow Wow's headbutt. Neku quickly pulled out an Earthshake pin, he wonder if it would affect Luna. Not wanting her to get burned, he used it.
As Luna delivered a punched to the Meow Wow that tried to headbutt, it was thrown to it's back before bouncing back to it's feet. Still with the goofy look. Luna quickly jumped to her left as the beast bite at the spot she was at before. It looked at her with it's red eyes, glaring at her. Luna looked back at it with smug grin. Luna was about to kick it but the ground started to shake not to her, but the nightmares. Neku then used his Wonder Magnum to fire a burst of three-way bullets at the Meow wows before using the Frantic Pin to summon up a whirlwind to capture the Nightmares but was only able to catch the Meow wows in as the Tyranto Rex was too heavy to lift into the whirlwind.
Luna watched as she dodge out of the rex's attack range, she was awestruck by the clot's ability. Before she could even speak, she was tail whipped by Tyrant Rex. She was thrown to lamppost, the lamp post dent as Luna landed on it. Neku finished off the Tyrant Rex, before using the Meteor Spike Pin on the Meow Wow in front of him. Five boulders appear out of thin air above the Meow Wows, the boulders fall bombarding the Nightmares.
"That takes care of you three." He said to himself. Neku turned after hearing metal bent, turning towards Luna and the Nightmare. Luna was stuck in lamppost before using Blast Warning Pin to make a wall of fire between Luna and the Dino Nightmare. Neku quickly ran over to Luna and helped pull her out.
"You alright?" He asked Luna was slightly injured. Luna looked up at Neku as he helped her to the stairs, Luna had her arm over his shoulder.
"Why is thou helping? We just met." Luna asked Neku. Neku looked at her before reaching the stairs.
"Well I can't leave someone hurt to continued fighting." He told her Luna was about to ask more but caught the sight of the beast nightmare jumping over the wall of fire. Then it slowly walked over to them, Luna could tell that it didn't notice her looking at it do to her mane blocking her face. The moment Neku noticed Luna looking behind them, he looked back to be greeted by a fireball.
The two were thrown to the ground from the impact, Neku was slightly fine but Luna was not. Quickly he used Demon's Hatred pin causing an explosion in front of the nightmare knocking it back before using One Grain, Infinite Promise pin sending energy bullets at the Tyranto Rex. The bombardment ended the Tyranto Rex turning to puff of dust, Neku then used Healing Whale to heal himself and Luna. Neku got up before helping Luna up as well, Luna looked around for any more of those Nightmares. Seeing as there wasn't anymore Luna thanked Neku before standing on her on.
"Thank you, Neku. But why didn't you use that before?" Luna asked him.
"Didn't know if that would work on you." He said to her.
"Oh make sense." Luna said to him. Neku nodded before turning around and walked off.
"Where are thou going?" Luna said walking towards him, Neku turned to look at her.
"I'm look for my friend. We were attacked and got separated." Neku said to her before turning back to the stairway. Luna looked around knowing that she might ran into the Nightmares.
"Then I'll help you as you helped me." Luna said walking by him. Neku looked at her before accepting her help.
"Sure." He said to her. Luna looked at him before speaking.
"Could you tell me what was the magic you used." Luna asked as the two walked to a door between buildings.
"They're pins." He told her, Luna looked at him as they entered a new area.
'Fourth District' said a sign on a pole.
"And what are this pins? I'm sure they don't act as they should be." Luna said to Neku. Neku smirked abit.
"I that what I said to when I was first use them." Neku said to her.
"Care to explain." She asked him. Neku scratched his right cheek.
"Well Pins are used to activated Psychs or in your case magic." He told her, Luna listen as they travel this district.
"Psychs have four affinities: Positive: Melee attacks, Negative: Ranged attacks, Neutral: "Irregular" attacks, Ability: Fixed effects that do not deal direct damage." Neku said to her. Neku went on to explain from what he knows.
"And what powers these Pins?" Luna asked Neku.
"Imagination. The more Imagination one has, the more pins the person is able to use." Neku explained.
The two walked through the district as he explained, Luna looked around noticed many buildings embellished with many bright lights and decorations such as streamers. This area houses multiple shops, including a Dream Eater shop which has a balloon in the shape of a paw hanging outside the door. The largest and most prominent feature within the district is a large tower similar to a lighthouse, to which various streamers are tied. The two walked over to a building that said 'Flick Rush Colosseum".
"What's this?" Luna asked as they neared the Colosseum.
"This the Flick Rush Colosseum. A place where people battle with their Dream Eater against each other,kupo." Said someone from behind them. The two jumped back from the voice. The two turn to look at what was talking to them. What was there was three plush toys floating in the air.
"Oh, it's just you Moogles." Neku said to it. Luna stared at it, confused by it's appearance.
They are small, white creatures resembling plush toys, with large, spherical heads, small ears sprouting out of the sides of their heads, and stubby hand and feet that lack distinct digits. Their eyes are constantly narrowed into brown slits, giving the appearance of being closed and their noses are bulbous and pink. It also sport tiny, purple wings like those of a bat on their backs and, perhaps their most distinctive traits, large, red, spherical "pom-poms" on attached to the tops of their heads by a thin, brown antenna.
"And what are you, three?" Luna asked confused.
"They're called Moogles and that's all I can say as I have no idea where they even came from nor how to tell the differs." Neku told her as two other Moogles went towards the Colosseum leave them with one.
"And what it's your name? My's Luna." Luna said to it.
"I'm Stiltzkin." The Moogle greeted back. Luna smiled as Stiltzkin left them to be with it's friends...family?
"To be honest," Neku said to Luna not even looking at her.
"I have no Idea how they don't get attack by the Nightmares." Neku told her as they watch the Moogles float in place not doing anything. Luna watched for a second before speaking.
"They might be more tougher than they look." Luna said to him smiling. Neku laughed abit.
"That could be true." Neku said as they walked over to the Moogles to see if they have seen Neku's partner. As they did, Luna walked by a large chest. Stopping in her tracks, she turned to look at it. It was nearly three feet tall, reaching up to her waist.
Luna stared at it before giving it a hard kick causing it to open. Light poured out before a piece of paper floated in front of her. Luna stared before slowly grabbing it. After she took the paper, the chest faded out a exists. Confused, she looked at the paper wonder what it said.
Snip Doggy (Nightmare)
Description: With a tail that flattens itself out into a sharp blade, these cute little critters are cuddly one moment and feral the next! Don't worry, though. With a few swings or some dark magic, these mutts will be more bark than bite.
Dangerous when feral
1 Wild Fantasy
3 Noble Fantasy
1 Wild Fantasy
"What is this?" Luna asked. Neku looked at the paper in her hand.
"That helps you make a Spirits but a Nightmare? That new." Neku told her. Luna became interest in this.
"How do I make one." Luna asked him. Neku was concerned about this.
"I don't think that would be a good idea." He said to her. Luna looked up from the paper.
"Thou don't have to worry as I, Luna princess of the night and dreams, will tame this beast." She said to him with proud. Neku stared at her before looking back at the paper.
"Well you're going to be needing what on there." He told her. Luna looked at the paper noticing the ingredients it need.
"Where do I have this?" She asked him.
"From the Nightmares. Each one while have a different Dream Piece." He told her. Luna looked at him.
"And this Dream Piece comes from those Nightmares." Luna said to him. Neku thought for a second before showing her one of the Pieces.
It was a consists of a purple orb with six orange-tipped spikes, detailed with a spiraling star.
"This is a Wild Fantasy." He told her handing her the piece before pulling out more.
He pulled out what looks like circular glasses with six spikes on each lens, each one with a stripe of the same color of the spirals on them.
"This is a Noble Fantasy." He said handing her three before getting one last piece out.
The last one represented by a whirlpool.
"And this is a Rampant Figment." He told her handing her two.
"Why are you giving me these?" She asked him.
"You be needing help when fighting the Nightmares." He said to her.
"Thanks, Neku." Luna said to him.
"Welcome." He said before turning towards the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Luna asked. Neku turned to her.
"I got separated from my partner, Shiki ." He said before jumping onto a rail and speed off as he glowed in pink aura.
"What?" She said in disbelief.
When Neku made it to the large doors of the next District, he pulled out his cell phone.
"Plus I think I found our mission." He said to looked at the text on his cell. Opening the door, he walked in but stop as he looked back to where Luna was. A part of heart told him to go back and help her while the other told to go found Shiki and Luna would be fine. Neku sigh as he continued on.
She tired to think but couldn't understood how he did that. She decided not question it more than she needs. She went back to the paper, she stared at it wonder how it even make this Dream Eater.
"So did I just think about it?" She asked herself, thinking of the Dream Eater. As she did the Dream Piece flew out of her hands and swirled a round her before floating in front of her. The Piece fused together in a bright light. In the light dined Luna stared at the Dream Eater in front of her. In it's place was a puppy, it's eyes were red, fur was deep blue with cyan spots on it's face and tail as a big one on it's back had the Nightmare symbol, it's paws were pink and purple.
It stared at Luna for a few seconds before jumping on her. Luna fell over while giggling. It started to lick her cheeks happily like a normal puppy would. Luna felt it's tongue rub against her face. She patted it's head in response to it's friendly gesture. It's jumped off of her, Luna got up as it pounce ran around her. Luna smiled at it and also noticed it was about 3ft tall, about close to her hips. She kneel down looked at it, before rubbing it's belly, then suddenly it started to sparkle with the sudden change of it's eyes from red to sky blue, and the eyes went from cycles to stars. Luna decided to gave it a name.
"I'll call you Midnight." Luna Said to Midnight. Midnight jumped around happy at it's name. Luna was too by Midnight to noticed the Moogle flying to her.
"It seem you're doing well with your Dream Eater,kupo." The Moogle said to her, making her jump in surprise. Midnight jumped as well.
"Hello Stiltzkin." Luna said to it. The Moogle laughed before speaking.
"I'm not Stiltzkin. I'm Alice." The Moogle told her. Luna stared at it before deciding to not any try to tell the differences.
"Anywho, What do you need?" Luna asked it. Luna couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl.
"Since you have a Dream Eater, I would like gave some things for your Dream Eater." Alice said before summoning a wand and then summoned some items. The Items were a paint gun, a water barrel, balloons, etc.
"Ah, thank you?" Luna said looking at the paint gun. The moogle returned to it's place with it's friends. Luna looked at Midnight before trying out what's she was given.
"Midnight, do you want to play with a balloon?" Luna said to him(She was sure it was a him). Midnight wagged his tail excitedly. Luna pulled out the fully aired balloon and tossed it at him. Midnight jumped to bump it back only for the balloon to pop into two different balloons one green, and the other blue. The two balloons came towards Luna as she stood there confused but shook herself out of it as the balloons came near. Luna bumped them back, Midnight bumped one that was near him then the other which both then split into two make four balloons of the colors. Red, Yellow, Green, Blue. Luna bumped them back as quickly as she could as they came towards her pretty quick. This went on for about five minutes, the two played with the balloons making about thirty appear. It would be an odd sight for anyone (besides the Moogles) to see. After awhile all the balloons popped, leaving Midnight confused. Luna blinked confused before pushing that to the 'Don't question it' side of her mind.
"I guess we better get going." Luna said as the two walked off. Luna walked by some rails near the stairs and remembered what Neku do. Luna decided to try whatever the heck he did. Luna jumped onto the rail and before she could think her body glowed in a pink aura. She then rode the rail up the stairs, as she dashed though she noticed that Midnight wasn't with her. She jumped off but was surprised by how high she jumped. As she landed, Midnight reappeared in a puff of smoke.
Midnight barked happily seeing Luna. Luna smiled back before being hit from behind. Midnight backed angrily at the attacker, which was a skeletal fish.
Luna got up, turning towards the opponent. She cocked her head at the bone fish.
"I've heard of being skinny but that's about a bit much." Luna said to it. Suddenly more Fishbone appeared along with a snake, a cat spiky thing, and a bat.
The cat thing is a small, hairy lion-like creature consisting of a head with feet and a tail. Its shape is a circle, covered with prickles. It has circular red eyes, and a spiky dark purple mane covers most of its body, in addition to a green colored face with a yellow nose and a mouth lined with sharp pointed teeth. The Nightmare Dream Eater symbol is located on the bottom of its mane. Its ears and tail are striped with pink, yellow, and purple. Its green legs have purple paws with blue nails. The tail has a spiky tuft of dark purple fur.
The snake thing resembles a fusion of a snake and lizard. It has a curve-based structure with a spiked spine. It has multiple teeth along with a horn resting atop its head. There is no visible nose. It has a lime colored head, with two yellow spots as cheeks, and white, pointy teeth. It has red, squared eyes, and black spikes line its head down its spine. The Nightmare emblem is located on its colorful underbelly, that is lime, fading to purple. Its back is purple, and its body ends in a lime coiled and black-spiked tail that melts into an orange, purple, then finally black. It has two thin, lime legs and it wears purple and black shoes.
The bat has a small body. Its round, furry head has a diamond mark covering its face, with large, frilled ears, tiny eyes, and two small fangs. Two small, clawed feet hang from its body, while two large, thin wings extend outward. The wings are covered with four-pointed stars, one of them much larger than the others. It has a purple body and yellow feet. Its head is black with a light blue diamond, while the inside of its ears are pink, fading into purple, the back of its ears are lime. It has red eyes with, and its fangs are blue, the same color as the diamond on its head. Its wings are dark blue, while the stars on the wings are blue and green, and outlined in white.
"Bring some friends?" She said to them, in response they attacked the two.
Luna and Midnight jumped out of the way as the snakes rolled at them. Luna watched the Nightmares as they tried to surround them. The cat things jumped towards Luna from behind to bite her but Luna side jumped before catching it by the tail and used it was a wrecking ball. As she hit the incoming Nightmares, She spin it around causing it to bring out it's spikes from it's body. Midnight slashed at some with it's blade like tail and bite on a few. The two were able to take out most of the Nightmares but they got hit a few times, Luna noticing some Dream piece floating in place after some Nightmare burst to dust. The Pieces flew to Luna and was absorbed by her. Luna was confused but focused on the battle, Midnight was biting a bat by the wing and was hanging as the bat tried to get him off. It span around trying to pry of the puppy but Midnight stayed to where he was. Luna was about to help but was then hit from behind, the snake and bone fish attacked her from behind. The fish shot of bream of water at her, making her fall to the ground flat on her chest as the snake rolled at her. It was about to hit Luna but was thrown back by Midnight as he lost his grip on the bat. Midnight was thrown at the snake accidentally. The two collided and the snake burst to dust, leaving a dream piece behind.
Midnight got up and started turning red. He rushed at the fish, slashing it with his tail till it burst before jumping up at the bat and slashed it's claws at it. The bat turned to dust leaving a strange orb which went to Luna. Luna brushed off some dirt as Midnight went back to normal, he then jumped on her and started licking her. Luna laughed a bit before placing him down. Luna then looked through her pockets for any of those pieces.
She had four Rampant Figments, three Troubling Figments, one Wondrous Fancy. She also had 150 of those orb things, she was sure how she knew how much she had but it just came to her. She also had a cog keychain. She put them all back into her pockets before going back to learning how this place works. She jumped to a wall and started glow in pink aura, she then jumped off. She flew higher than she expected before grabbing onto another wall and dashed forwards. She went around the whole area of this place, she rail slide ropes, got to a bell tower finding a large chest and opening it getting another dream eater recipe.
"I wonder what this is?" She said to herself while reading it.
Komory Bat(Spirit)
These noctilionidae nuisances boast quite the repertoire. Supersonic confusion waves? Check. Vampiric drain attack? Vunderful.
Special
Dark Mist
Luna placed the paper her pocket. She then jumped of the bell tower and landed lightly on the ground. She and Midnight traveled to a nearby doors which were the sizes of the Castle's doors just with image on top.
On the door was the words ' Fountain Plaza'. Luna wonder what this is, so she walked in. She and Midnight was greeted by massive eponymous fountain, which was in the shape of a heart with two water geysers. In the middle of the heart was a two towers, one half the size of the heart fountain and a smaller tower in the middle of the second tower. Luna stared at it in awe, was she hasn't seem something likes this in years, not even her ponies could make something like this. Luna noticed something way up top of the fountain. Luna jumped before flapping her wings but only fall face first into the water.
'Guess I lost the ability to fly? Just great.' She thought to herself.
Not only did she lose her magic, found out there's a world beyond her's, she no longer, and now she can't fly. Great just great.
"Might have to get used to this." She said to herself before jumping up on the water tower. She soon reached the top, she found a small chest. Opening it; she found a bangle.
It had a smooth, relatively thin bracelet. It is a faded red color with thin, dark red, flame-like designs on it. The ends of the bangle are blunt, silver and black spikes.
Placing it on; Luna felt slightly tougher like her defense has raisin. Jumping down and landing softly; she made her way to a two pathway clearing. There was some lamps nearby. Walking into the clearing she was then jumped by some more Dream Eaters. There were those Meow Wow, Tyranto Rex, Komory Bat, Fishbone, and Hebby Repp. Luna ready herself as the Nightmares tried to attack her and Midnight but out of nowhere a blazing fire slashed straight across the nightmares. The nightmares burst to smoke as the figure stood to the side of the former standing Nightmares. Luna was slightly cautious as the figure turned to her. She got a good look at what they were wearing. They wear wearing a black cloak with the hood covering they head. Their weapons was blade in one hand and in the other was a small scythe, they were purple and black.
Luna felt something was off about this, but before she could open her mouth for a 'thanks' the cloaked being pointed his blade at her. The cloaked figure looked at her before walking away to the left pathway. Luna followed them, Midnight tilted their head in confusion but followed. She distanced herself from them so they wouldn't noticed her but as she did she was greeted a series of routes and confusing streets. She made her way through it but got lost here and there, she rode a stream of water up a building, jumped from rooftop to rooftop testing her new ability, and found more chest filled with strange shaped treats. Luna had fought some Nightmares and got more Dream pieces. After while of searching for the cloaked being with no trances, she decided to enter a post office that was nearby.
The post office was the most weirdest place she has mostly wound ever be in. There were rails everywhere. Books and mails were stacked, there was a big red thing in the middle of the place with rails going through it. Not want to lose the cloaked stranger, she jumped on a green rail and was rushed forward. She passed by the red tower thing, looked towards the yellow rail which lead to what might be an exit. She landed on what she thinks is a platform to two sides of it filled with mail and other things. She looked to her left and saw another platform with a chest, she looked at what rail lead to it. A blue rail lead to it.
Luna jumped onto it and moved turns it. Her ears touched a bit as she hear voices. One was slightly rough and male, and another was soft and female.
"Yo,where did that hooded guy went to?" Said the male voice. Luna made to the platform and quietly walked to the chest not wanted to catch their attention.
"I don't know but I don't understood the mission 'Find the blue horn winged princess.'. what does that mean?" The female said confused.
'They're looking for me?' Luna thought to herself.
"Maybe, it's a statue? Or some graffiti art?...Men why could Reaper's be more specific with this missions." The male voice sigh.
Luna walked over the the edge of the platform to see who was looking for her. The two looked like siblings.
The male was pale skin with blond mane wearing a white t-shirt, red sneakers, light brown short pants, a hat and chain neck with both of them having skulls. While other was similar to her brother but was wearing a bell around her neck. She wear a pinkish red shirt the seem slightly too big for her, on her shirt was a heart shaped skull with a cross of bones below it. She had white short pants and yellow black shoes. She also wear a black hat with a white skull pin on it.
"Hope, Neku and Shiki fairing better." The young girl said, sighing.
The two walked towards a hallway which possibly is the exit. Luna watched as they were about to leave till a sound of a bird screeching. Luna's ears twitched as the screeching was hear all around the complex. Even the two foals seem to stop and look around to where the sound was coming from. Luna looked around too for the bird, thinking it might be a large Nightmare but she was about to jump down from the ledge there was a 'thump' sound before a the same screeching from behind her. Luna turned to be greeted by a large bird thing.
It looked at her before Midnight growled at it, the bird growled back. Luna spread her wings and give a few flaps as a warning, hoping this bird follows this warning but unfortunately it just screech while rushing towards her. Midnight jumped in front of Luna before rushing towards to. Luna rushed forward to stop Midnight but he was to fast. Midnight and the bird headbutted each other but the bird seems to have done a better as Midnight was thrown back. Luna quickly caught him as he flow back towards her. Luna sigh in relief as Midnight wasn't badly hurt through his eyes were swirling.
'Odd?' she thought to herself before remembering what was coming at her, Looking up she was quickly face to face with the bird that now headbutted her causing her to fall off the platform she was on and on to the ground floor. Luna's eyes closed themselves as she hit the ground.
Luna landed on her back while still holding Midnight. Luna opened her eyes to look up as the bird up down to stomp on her but Luna quickly rolled out of the way. Getting up, Midnight jumped out of her grip and tried to bite the bird. The bird yelped in surprise as Midnight bite the bird's leg. The bird tried to get him off but was suddenly hit by a broad with wheels on it's sides. The bird yelped in pain as it was toss away from them. Midnight let go of the bird as it was thrown back. The bird got up and stared at the one that attacked him. Luna stared at the colt before the same filly came up next to her.
"Are you alright?" she asked her. Luna got up from the ground before looking at the filly.
"I'm alright, young one." Luna said to her. The filly looked at Luna strangely.
"I'm..fine?" She said noticing that Luna was a blue pegasus.
"Save the talk for later, yo. Time to take care of these Carakillers." The colt said to them. Luna and the filly ready themselves as more of those birds appeared. Midnight bark at the in coming Nightmares, about six more appeared. They circled the four as they waited to strike.
"Ready to rumble Rhyme." The colt said to his sister as he stared at Nightmares.
"Ready Beat." Rhyme told him.
'Rhyme and Beat....I wonder if their parents' names are Jazz and Metal.' Luna giggled to herself.
The Carakillers circled them, growling ready to pounce at any second.
"Ready for a beatdown!" Beat yelled as the Carakillers came at them.
