Chapter 14: 2nd Match, VS. Chamelan!
The scene opens towards us seeing Dream Gate, as everything appears to be moving along alright. Then bright light came from a Door, where Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie are seen coming out from My Dreams realm. They have been there resting up from their last little bit of work that they done and have now return with plans to continue things. As they walk out to approach the fountain, they look to the Door in where it’s spot was the location to go to Lost Park.
“Man, who thought we have some of them park stuff in dat place?” Applejack spoke off that now in My Dream, they got some of Lost Park’s stuff in that place.
“I pretty much enjoyed it, it was really fun to share with our Nightopian friends.” Pinkie Pie happily stated this off in having had fun during their time.
“Well now that we finished resting ourselves, are we ready to get back to work?” Twilight ask doff in thinking it’s time they get to work on their objective.
“Right, we still gotta find another Ideya.” Applejack nods off to say in knowing what they need to do here.
“I think we’re almost there.” Pinkie Pie stated off to simply say this answer.
“How can you tell?” Twilight asked in feeling somewhat puzzled by that claim.
“Lucky guess.” Pinkie Pie made a cheery perky smile in simply saying this which made her friends stare at her oddly.
“In Rainbow’s absence, ye are so random, Pinkie Pie.” Applejack quoted this off in saying this for which it’s usually Rainbow’s job.
“Heh-heh, I think that’s what she say alright.” Twilight made a little chuckle in thinking that was a funny thing of what Applejack just did there.
“Whelp, shall we be heading off then?” Pinkie Pie asked off in thinking it’s time for them to get going now.
“Ye bet we are!” Applejack declared off in agreeing on that subject.
“Then let’s get going, every pony!” Twilight announced forth that it’s time that they return to Lost Park to complete their task.
As the pony gang were all in agreement, they slowly approached the Door to take them to Lost Park. As they opened the doors, the bright white light escaped to develop them all. And as the ponies were walking into it, the doors began to close up afterwards. For now they are about to face whatever little challenges await them in order to help out and locate the next Ideya in question.
-------------------------------------------
At the time, the scene opens to a part of Lost Park in where there was a railroad track. And flying in on the scene was NGHTS who had Dualized with Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie in which their spirits are seen. They stop to rest their hands on their hips in accordance in what NiGHTS was doing to check out the spot. And then there were happy cheery voices that came from some Nightopians that were happily riding on a train on the railroad track.
“Hey, girls, check it out! Look at that thing go!” NiGHTS was complimenting out in seeing that train zoom on by, it looks really fast and fun.
“Whoa….a roller coaster!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit was awed at seeing that thing go on by. “I love those things! Ever since Rainbow Park was made!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit responded off to mention this in what she loved about those.
“Boy howdy, do we remember dat?” Applejack’s spirit lightly smiled on the subject in how much an adventure they had back then.
“I know it was a surprise when a friend of ours secretly had that made.” Twilight’s spirit sigh to say in feeling almost tired out in remembering how Rainbow Dash secretly made a theme park without her okay, but that was long ways back.
“But you know, every moment I get, during some holidays, ask Mr. & Mrs. Cake take me and their babies to the amusement park.” Pinkie Pie’s spirit exclaimed in holding one of NiGHTS’s right hand up in stating this with much excitement. “Hugh…” But then the pink pony spirit started to sigh as if feeling…sad for some reason, much to NiGHTS’s & the others notice. “But…not this time…” She sadly stated that a moment like that won’t be coming about to see an amusement park.
“What’s wrong, Pinkie Pie?” NiGHTS turn her head in what she and the pony spirits of Twilight & AJ notice that Pinkie Pie almost seem depressed over something; what could get this happy pony down.
“Oh, nothing…” Pinkie Pie’s spirit shook her head off to not have the others worry about her and whatever silly problems she may have.
There was loud train racket noises in sounding like the roller coaster was picking up speed. But the others were too busy focusing on what was keeping their friend a bit down.
“Pinkie, whenever ye say dat, it usually means something?” Applejack’s spirit questioned her friend in thinking she was not telling them something.
“Well you see….Owl said that the reason this world is lonely is because of my heart.” Pinkie Pie waved out her arms and tap her chest with the right one which NiGHTS was mimicking what the pony was doing.
“Well, that is true…we heard about it. Is that why you felt worried?” Twilight’s spirit questioned her friend’s little behavior just now.
“Yeah Twilight. And so, if that’s true, then I need to become stronger!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit declared off to say this in starting to cheer up by speaking words of encouragement. “That way, everyone in Nightopia will be stronger too!” She exclaimed to wave out her arms which NiGHTS followed in having heard this thought’d suggestion.
“Ha ha ha…that’s right.” NiGHTS let off a happy laugher in liking how well thought up Pinkie Pie wanted to help Nightopia be stronger, to make it a better place in starting with Lost Park.
At this moment, someone was heard wheezing a bit as if having a loss of breath. Everyone turns to see that it was Owl, and he look to be in a hurry, maybe something was up.
“Ahh….hah hoo…” Owl was flapping to get up close to NiGHTS & the other spirit ponies in seemingly exhausted from rushing himself for some reason. “Was there a…roller coaster here?” He asked off in almost wheezing a bit about something.
“Yeah. A bunch of Nightopians just took off on it.” NiGHTS responded off without worry to point off her right hand in the direction of where some Nightopians went off riding in a train-theme roller coaster as Owl followed that direction to have heard every word.
“Oh, dear! Oh, dear!” Owl was suddenly sounding like he was gonna panic at this moment. “But the Nightmarens have collapsed part of a cliff…” He issued to say this in giving the worse news of what has just recently happened while wheezing from panting out his words in exhaustion. “And the rubble is blocking the tracks!”
“What?!” Pinkie Pie shouted out in looking shock to believe that had happened; even her friends & NiGHTS had shock faces to learn this.
“That can’t be!” Twilight’s spirit spoke off in finding that just horrible to imagine.
“Say it ain’t so?” AJ’s spirit asked in hoping this wasn’t the case, but Owl didn’t seem to be fooling them.
The background was playing ‘EVENT - Bad News’ during the moment of some terrible news was heard of what was currently the problem now.
“And….and when they crash into it…” Owl was flapping around the group in almost imaging the worst case scenario of what happens with the Nightopians crashing into the rubble; the results shall be tragic.
“Okay, okay, don’t panic! Just leave this to us.” NiGHTS raised her left hand to rest on Owl’s head to have the old bird settle down from panicking, as she and her friends shall handle this with a nod response.
Once that was done, NiGHTS retrieved her hand from holding Owl in place while making a smile on her face in seeing it’s time to get moving.
“Okay, Pinkie Pie, you asked to see some more of my power.” NiGHTS held up her right hand to her chin in recalling a question that the pink pony asked about her abilities. “Well, you’re gonna love this!” She declared this fact that what the gang will see will be something they’ll enjoy.
“What?!” Twilight’s spirit responded off puzzled in having heard this, what was NiGHTS about to do here in showing off more of her power.
“Just wha is she talking’ about, Pinkie?” AJ’s spirit asked off in not knowing what this conversation was about, cause they are just hearing about it now.
“Oh, during a moment, I asked NiGHTS about her amazing transformation ability and how it works. She said she show us eventually.” Pinkie Pie’s spirit explained off the matter to her two spirit friends on the subject.
“Let’s go!” NiGHTS declared off this statement to her friends in being ready to get going here.
And with that, NiGHTS soon flew off with the pony spirits following alongside her. Apparently, she has a plan that will help them out in just this sorta situation here. What was gonna happen was something that relates to her power which the ponies are soon gonna see here. At the moment, the background was playing ‘Wandering Wildness: Coaster Rescue’ during this moment. For it wasn’t long before NiGHTS used her transformation ability that stretch to change her body into her roller coaster form; only this time, the three pony spirits, Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, were back to their flesh forms. It would seem that now the gang are now in a familiar sense from when they rode on NiGHTS when she transformed into a boat. From what is described, NiGHTS’s jester hat antennae spread out wide & far as it went back slightly and the red gem on the chest changed to appear on the forehead, legs & feet molded together to form rails.
“Hey, we’re back to being flesh now.” Pinkie Pie spoke off in noticing that they are not spirits inside NiGHTS’ body no more.
“Not only dat, check our NiGHTS here.” Applejack pointed off in seeing they are once again, on top of NiGHTS when she changed into some different form.
“NiGHTS, you…?” Twilight was about to ask about this sudden scene when the jester said she show off more of her power; could this be what she meant?
“Listen, we can use this form of mine to chase after the Nightopians on the roller coaster!” NiGHTS explained the case of what she is going to do here, it’ll help speed things up in what they are trying to do here.
Then without warning, the back of Coaster NiGHTS’ jet boosters were active as they were moving the ride along with the ponies inside to feel like they are about to go for a wild ride now. Coaster NiGHTS stretched its long legs to help collect some floating green Rings to help build up strength. And from the gang’s view on their piece of track, they see the train that the Nightopians are on ahead of them.
“There they are! And they seem to not be worried!” Pinkie Pie pointed ahead in seeing the Nightopians that were just shouting and cheering in excitement.
“Looks like they don’t know of de danger.” Applejack stated off that those little guys aren’t away of rubble ahead of them that could be dangerous.
“NiGHTS, is there any way we can make it? If we move too fast, we might disconnect you from the track?” Twilight asked if there was a way to help out while making sure they stay on the track to not fall off it.
“Remember how we handle the boat, remember, to shift your weight to help out on the turns.” NiGHTS reminded the gang of an event much similar to this one, they just have to recall how they handled that situation.
After spotting the target, Coaster NiGHTS was piloted by AJ to follow along, they tilt to the left to collect more green Rings while watching the Nightopians go down a track path. They ride the Coaster NiGHTS to go down and through a building canyon tunnel and came out the other side. There was signs of fireworks ahead where the Nightopians seem to have stubble upon, as if signaling their spot locations.
“Wow, those fireworks are convenient to appear.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say this in watching the view.
“Then we gotta punch it ta reach them fellas!” Applejack spoke off in seeing they need to catch up to those Nightopians, quick.
“Then I have just the thing, hold on tight!” NiGHTS issued off to say in having the best method to help get them to where they wanna go.
“I think I may know what comes next.” Twilight spoke in feeling nervous, if NiGHTS does what she thinks the jester will do, then they’ll be picking up speed…
Soon Coaster NiGHTS was using her Drill Dash ability which allowed her to fire up her back rockets to boost her speed. The ponies riding on their friend brace for the speed, as they went up a hill track and then they had NiGHTS stretch up and over the right side to avoid hitting a sudden boulder on the track. If they hit that, it would have decrease their speed, and as they pass around the Ferris wheel location, gone down to stretch upwards to collect green Rings in a tight canyon spot.
“Easy on the turns AJ.” Twilight spoke off to her friend in what they were doing.
“I hear yah Twilight!” Applejack replied back in having heard that message.
“Careful not to lean too close to those rocks sticking out.” Pinkie Pie issued this next part off in seeing some rocks sticking out to almost scratch their paint job.
“Man, now I’m wondering how this must feel for backseat drivers.” NiGHTS rolled her eyes in feeling like she has three drivers trying to decide what to do, etc.
Once making it through the tight spot canyon, they exit to see another firework go off to show the Nightopians passing another location. They were passing through another open tunnel building rock, and when they came out…the gang was flying off the track. The ponies seem to scream from seeing this, but as Coaster NiGHTS saw a tunnel in the bedrock before them, she used her rockets to shoot them into the cave and land just on the tracks to stabilize them.
“WOH-HOO! LET’S DO IT AGAIN!” Pinkie Pie cheered out in feeling like she wants to go through that excitement again.
“Let’s not, okay?” Twilight sighed in almost feeling like she have a heart attack from what they escaped from.
“Unfortunately, you’ll have to expect that from time to time.” NiGHTS explained the case in where they may end up going through that same principle of jumping off tracks to reach another side.
“Well we best be careful, we still gotta catch up ta them Nightopians!” Applejack stated off in knowing they have to reach the Nightopians in the train before they reach the path with them rubble blocking the way.
After having to recover from such a close calling of almost falling from a lot of tracks, the gang continues on. Pinkie Pie decided to pilot Coaster NiGHTS within the cave as they saw more fireworks of the Nightopians ahead while collecting more green Rings to help recharge their Dash Power. Then using another rocket boost from Coaster NiGHTS, the gang was moving quickly while stretching the ride to collect more green Rings and make their turns to catch up to their objective.
“There’s more fireworks ahead!” Twilight spoke in noticing what was just ahead of them here.
“That must be where the Nightopians are.” NiGHTS stated that the fireworks show where the Nightopians are located to be.
“We gotta narrow through this dark cave first.” Applejack stated in seeing what they first need to pass by here.
“Well I’ll let Twilight do it, cause there are some pretty stars to illuminate this place. And it sparkles like her.” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say this in looking around that the cave had sparkles and such.
“Um, thanks…I think.” Twilight lightly responded to that weird logic her friend made, though random as it be.
The tunnel was like a wild ride as the gang needed to follow after the fireworks that lit up where the Nightopians are located. Twilight decided that she help in the controls here as they had to watch out for spike rock forms on the sides while carefully using the rocket booster to boost their speed. They went over a rail track over a creek of water in the cavern before going through a smaller cave tunnel path. The ponies had Coaster NiGHTS stretch up to watch out for what seem like something on the track to almost cause them to slow down. They finally managed to make it outside the cave into the light and saw their objective ahead.
“There they are!” Applejack stated in seeing the Nightopians just ahead.
“We need to hurry, they’re almost near the rubble sight!” NiGHTS forewarn her group of what’s ahead of them.
“Then let’s get ready to do this!” Pinkie Pie issued forth in seeing that they gotta work together on this.
“We need precise timing, here goes…” Twilight stated in narrowing her eyes at what they need to work towards…
Knowing that they are almost near the rubble on the track, the gang had to act quickly and precisely if they were gonna reach the Nightopians in time to save them. As they were picking up the pace, they saw it…the fallen rubble on the track ahead, they need to time this just right if they were gonna make it.
“Now!” The ponies shouted out in seeing this was the chance to act here.
Soon the gang had Coaster NiGHTS use up any amount of Drill Dash to boost their rockets to reach the Nightopians. The Nightopians saw the rubble and yelp in fear as they felt like this was bad. But then Coaster NiGHTS reached the train by stretching over the Nightopians to get in front of them and then the ponies were putting the brakes on. There was some screeching sparks seen on the tracks as everyone was bracing themselves before…both coaster and track car came to a halt just an inch away from crashing into the rubble pile.
“We did it.” Twilight slowly spoke in looking surprised that they did what they set out to do.
“We save de Nightopians!” Applejack smiled off to see that they did do this after all.
“Hooray! We did it!” Pinkie Pie cheered in seeing that they truly have done a great thing here.
At that moment, the background was playing ‘Peaceful Moment’ at this time. As the Nightopians were seen cheering happily to fly out of their train ride to happily thank the gang with much relief. And during the same moment, Coaster NiGHTS bounded up and down in her coaster form as if hollering & making ‘yippee’ moments as if showing her expression that she and her friends have seize victory today.
“Woah horsy, woah!” Pinkie Pie yelps in trying to settle their friend’s actions of movement.
“Pinkie, she ain’t a horse, she’s a coaster.” Applejack rolled her eyes in reminding her pink friend that NiGHTS is not a horse, be it now or as a jester.
“I know silly, I’m just playing!” Pinkie Pie smiled up to simply say this to her pal.
“You really seem happy to…express your thoughts, NiGHTS.” Twilight smile off to say this in seeing the reaction from how happy NiGHTS was behaving.
“Can’t be helped. Be it times when it counts or not, I’m just glad we help save the Nightopians.” NiGHTS smiled off to say this in what she feels was happy to her that they saved the innocent Nightopians.
“I’m happy that we did! Say, anyone up for another wild coaster ride?” Pinkie Pie smiled forth to reply while also asking a question at this time.
“I think we need time ta recover before we do dat again, sugar.” Applejack sighs to say in feeling they are a bit spent on more roller coaster rides.
“Then I’ll help take you over to the Door, you can decide when to come back afterwards.” NiGHTS offered this to get her friends back to the Door to return to Dream Gate.
“Thanks NiGHTS, I think we’ll do that and decide what to do afterwards.” Twilight nods off in appreciating that thought for the time being.
“Then let’s roll!” NiGHTS declared out this statement in deciding to head on out.
Soon Coaster NiGHTS backs up to take the gang down a different track to lead them to the Door. The ponies are heard making their wild screams in feeling like they are now experiencing the thrills of an amusement park. The scene begins to fade out as the Nightopians wave goodbye to their friends as they shall be returning to Dream Gate soon…But boy, will they have had some experience from what they encountered here today…
------------------------
The scene opens up to where Twilight, Applejack, & Pinkie Pie were slowly and gently falling across the starry skies. Afterwards, they landed on the pavement which lead them straight to the center of Dream Gate and to the fountain. As the ponies got closer to the fountain, suddenly, their Blue Chips they collected flew out from them into the fountain itself. And then without warning, the dried fountain began to respond with water coming out of it, like life was being restored. While this puzzled the gang, Owl was nearby that maybe he could help explain things. But for the time being, something else came up that earn even more attention.
“Ah, I see you’re back. That landslide was the work of a Second-Level Nightmaren, I’m sure of it.” Owl replied off to say this while getting down to business of having learn who caused the problem that nearly endangered some Nightopians.
“Wait, a Second-Level Nightmaren?” Twilight yelps upon having heard about this just now, so that was the Nightmaren that caused that last incident they averted.
“Ye don’t mean Chamelan, right?” Applejack asked in recalling the only Second-Level Nightmaren they fought when they came to Lost Park.
“I thought we were done with him.” Pinkie Pie spoke in thinking that matter was long since over with.
“No, if they still are active in a part of Nightopia, then the world you made is still in jeopardy.” Owl sadly shook his head in stating that Chamelan is not completely gone and that Lost Park is not safe with that Nightmaren around.
“But then, how can we help Lost Park?” Twilight asked in wondering if there is some way to help, that foe is more tricky than Donbalon was.
“I can only tell you this much. Someone is hiding within that Nightopia. Keep your wits about you.” Owl wisely spoke in telling the gang that the one that is the cause of their trouble is hiding in Lost Park and they must keep their sharp wits wide open for anything they see as suspicion.
Then without warning, Owl soon vanished from sight with only his feathers that remain behind., The others were too absorbed in the info they were told about to worry about that disappearing act.
“Brother, de guy’s like Zecora, says somethings without giving much straight answers.” Applejack rolled her eyes in making this statement in how what Owl says is about as hard to make as when they talk to their rhyming zebra pal back home.
“Well, I’m not gonna let an evil Nightmaren ruin my paradise world!” Pinkie Pie stated forth in what she’ll be doing to make sure her world of dreams is safe.
“You’re right Pinkie, we should all face him.” Twilight nods off to say this in feeling that same determination as Pinkie Pie.
“Cause dat’s wha friends are there fer!” Applejack proudly declared in knowing they are there to help another out.
And then the pony gang slowly makes their way towards the Door to return to Lost Park. Upon opening the doors, the same white light enveloped them all as they began to walk into it. And with that, the scene begins to fad out in white while we know where they’ll end up next….and it’ll be their next challenge to stop someone on the other side causing trouble.
-----------------------------------------
The scene opens to where we find NiGHTS flying in the air in leaving a star dust trail. She was passing over the rail tracks and coming near the park attractions. As she begins to stop to stand while hovering with hands on her waist, the pony spirits of Twilight, Applejack & Pinkie Pie were also mimicking their jester friend. Right now, they seem to be observing the surroundings of Lost Park, trying to uncover anything of what is going on.
“The ground around here is all dried up.” NiGHTS pointed out in noticing something strange about the ground below them, as she and the others notice this. “Something doesn’t seem right. Stay on your guard, Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie.” NiGHTS spoke off in giving wise advice to her friends in getting serious about something not right here, and whatever it is…might be around.
“Okay.” Twilight’s spirit responded in having heard that message clearly.
“Can do.” Applejack’s spirit nodded off in understanding that message.
“Aye-aye!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit replied off in her own message to the response.
Then without warning, a strange eerie giggling of someone was heard within the air-space that made NiGHTS feel almost jumpy to look to the left along with the pony spirits. It sounded like their enemy was closely by, but was keeping himself hidden. At that same moment, ‘EVENT - Bad News’ was heard playing in the background to slowly build some tension here.
“So, you finally decided to show up!” NiGHTS responded off with a stern expression in guessing who was deciding to reveal themselves at this time.
Everyone was searching from left to right, but they could not see where the enemy was; all they hear was that snickering evil voice in toying with them.
“But…but…where is he!?” Twilight’s spirit asked off in feeling worried, where was the enemy hiding all of a sudden.
“I can hear de varmint, but can’t see where?” Applejack’s spirit asked off in not seeing where the enemy is, he sounds like he’s everywhere.
“Oh, I hate the evil hide-in-seek! Villains always be so sneaky then!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit pouted in not liking this sorta game.
As that evil snickering was continuing, something seem to be approaching NiGHTS and the pony spirits from behind them when they didn’t notice. That evil snicker cackle continues on, and then suddenly, a strange void portal appears behind the gang when they were trying to find the Nightmaren.
“Waaahhhhh….” And soon NiGHTS & the pony spirits of Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie yelp from being sucked into a rip void within the space of the air before they were gone the next. And then everything suddenly went dark after that as our heroic group was taken to who knows where at this moment and time…But we are soon going to learn the truth in just a moment….
--------------------------
Soon we return to a familiar nightmarish realm, only the scenery seems much more different than before; a bit more reddish and purplish mix with the dark. And also during the moment, the background was playing ‘Cacking Chamelan: Hard Version’ to start the next event about to happen here. And now seen entering the scene of the spotlight of our view, was a familiar Nightmaren lizard magician none other than Chamelan! As we see Chamelan was presenting to let off a cackle at this time, it look like he spread out his arms, and his hat was wiggling as it something unexpected was about to happen. He was seen tapping his wand on his hat, and then…’POOF’, a giant red cloud came out and shot off play cards all around while spinning in motion. NiGHTS & her pony spirit friends had only but learn that they were in Chamelan’s nightmarish realm and their foe was up to his usual tricks.
“Great, it’s like dealing with Trixie’s tricks all over again.” Applejack’s spirit rolled her eyes in thinking this Nightmaren was pulling the same sorta act from last time.
“We better be watchful of those Jacks, Kings & Queen cards that attack with swords and hearts again.” Pinkie Pie’s spirit stated in recalling what nearly got them the last time.
“Best we be careful girls, a magician never repeats the same act twice before the same audience.” NiGHTS warns her friends that perhaps this next battle, isn’t gonna be like a repeat from before.
“So then, what can we do then NiGHTS?” Twilight’s spirit asked in feeling like they are unsure what to do here if things might be different.
“Like we did before. Use a Paraloop to find the magician Chamelan hiding in the spatial distortion!” NiGHTS explained the simple matter in how to defeat their enemy here, same like before just in a different moment and time.
“Right/Got it/Okay!” The pony spirits of Twilight, AJ & Pinkie Pie responded in having been told of what to do, it’s like how they won before, so it’s a simple recalling.
Soon NiGHTS was flying upwards with Applejack piloting her right now. NiGHTS was seen pulling off the Drill Dash to get some speed going; Just as the jester was trying to perform a Paraloop that showed a hidden plant life in the background. But the gang have to be watchful, as the same play cards are shown acting up to attack from a different side than chase NiGHTS. And soon the curtain was covered by the same play cards to surround the gang, and if they recall, if they delay too long, something will appear like question marks. But another problem came that their first Paraloop batches were….vanishing instead of sticking around.
“Wha in Sam Hill?” Applejack’s spirit yelps in seeing that sorta thing get pulled off.
“Wait! That didn’t happen before!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit pondered off in recalling the last time they were here.
“NiGHTS, what’s happening here?” Twilight’s spirit asked in seeing their Paraloop portals aren’t sticking around longer than they did before.
“Chamelan’s playing more harder now, he won’t just let you find him that easily. We have to recall…that he likes hiding with the Ace cards, that’s what we need to locate.” NiGHTS explained the case in seeing what was going on, the battle now will be much harder than last time.
Seeing that their foe is gonna be giving the gang a more harder time then last time, they have to adjust now. If they can find some Ace cards, outside or after they make a Paraloop, then they can get Chamelan. However, what was soon appearing besides the cards were bombs that when they came close, exploded. That gave the gang and NiGHTS a small yelp to be knock backwards while recovering and heard the mad cackling of their opponent.
“Hey! No self-respected magician throws bombs at his audience!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit snapped off in seeing that was a dirty trick to be pulled.
“Too bad he ain’t self-respected.” AJ’s spirit rolled her eyes to quote the remark.
“Try to dodge the bombs and keep performing the Paraloops, we have to find him.” NiGHTS explained this out for her friends to follow upon.
“Okay, let’s try this again.” Twilight’s spirit nods off to say in understanding the question of their topic.
Seeing that Chamelan is playing an even more confusing game than before, NiGHTS & friends will really have to try their best to find and expose their lizard magician’s hiding. The gang go through some green Rings to build up Dash Power and try to allow Pinkie Pie to perform a loop-de-loop formation of Paraloops. Eventually, it help found Chamelan, but the gang yelp from seeing his Kings & Jacks appear with swords to block them as he moves away to hid away behind the curtain. As the gang got away from the attacking cards, they lost sight of their target again.
“We almost had him!” Twilight’s spirit cursed in seeing that Chamelan vanished from sight again.
“There he goes, he’s becoming a blur in the curtains.” Pinkie Pie’s spirit pointed in seeing their target in watching something move behind the curtain realm scene.
“Looks like de spotlight is not losing its star.” Applejack’s spirit stated in seeing that the random spotlights that move around, one of them was keeping track of Chamelan.
“Then that’s what we can use to beat him.” NiGHTS issued forth in seeing that they can use a magician’s friend on a stage as their own undoing.
Twilight decided to take over to pilot NiGHTS after Pinkie Pie. And soon the gang had to fly around in trying to narrow down their search spots in Paraloop one spot at a time while dodging any attack cards or bombs. They followed the spotlight until it made a certain stop in one location that seem like the moment it vanished. Doing a Paraloop on the far side, some plant-life background showed a card with a little ‘A’ on it before the portal window vanished. And that’s when the gang knew they were on the right track.
“This is it girls, we have to get this just right.” NiGHTS explained to her friends in seeing that if they miss this, it’s gonna be over then.
“Right or its curtains for us!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit nods off in understanding what will happen and they don’t want it to be their end.
“Did ye have ta say it dat way, Pinkie Pie?” AJ’s spirit raised her eyebrows in having heard something as downgraded as that statement.
“Never mind girls, let’s just do this…together.” Twilight’s spirit spoke forth in trying to help build up their motive to get this done.
Soon in another Paraloop event done by NiGHTS, in trying to perform the one with the most Drill Dash for some speed usage, was done that that the next plant life seen showed some cards with the ‘A’ symbol for Ace. And there was Chamelan, as he appeared, sticking out his tongue as if teasing those that can’t get him. And soon goes up to where the edge of the Paraloop was to vanish behind the curtain. The gang had to put their all into this, and shot off with NiGHTS to catch the cackling lizard Nightmaren and perform another Paraloop. They made it just in time, the wicked and evil cackle snicker stopped as Chamelan made a loud yelp noise while he was caught in NiGHTS Paraloop to swirl off into the plant-life to vanish out of thin air. Thus signaling the epic end to the tricky magician Nightmaren known as Chamelan and thereby giving the gang the victory. During the same time, ‘Peaceful Moment’ was heard playing in the background right now in responding to the victory here.
“We finally did! We defeated the tricky-trickster of illusions and hide-in-seek!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit cheered forth in seeing that they have done it, they won and beat Chamelan.
“Heh, I’m just glad it’s finally over with. He was a real problem.” Applejack’s spirit smiled off to say this in knowing how much trouble this Nightmaren gave them.
“We did it NiGHTS, we stopped him.” Twilight’s spirit smiled to say this to their friend for having helped them out.
“We did it together.” NiGHTS issued off to say this with a positive look on things here.
“So now de guy won’t be pestering us no more, right?” Applejack’s spirit questioned this off just to be certain they are in the clear.
“Right, and that means Lost Park is finally going to be safe now.” NiGHTS happily said this in knowing what this also means for the other part of Nightopia that Pinkie Pie created.
“HOORAY! My special world shall be free from any meany Nightmarens!” Pinkie Pie’s spirit cheered in seeing that now Lost Park shall also be a happy place of dreams for one to enjoy.
“So what happens now, are we going back to Dream Gate now?” Twilight’s spirit asked in pondering what happens next with their enemy defeated.
“Probably in a bit, but first off…” NiGHTS thought off to say this, but shrug it off in thinking too far ahead of the question of where they all return to in the end is the same….after one small event of course. “Well, maybe it’ll be better if you just wait and see first, after all….you’ve experienced it before.” She smiled off to simply say this much that what happens next before going to Dream Gate, the ponies will recall it.
The pony spirits were unsure of what NiGHTS was talking about, but they trust her enough to have faith and believe that if they experienced something before, it must be a good thing. And then as NiGHTS was just simply flying about to leave star dust trail in her wake in response to her proud victory, the nightmarish realm began to fade and blur out with the Nightmaren Chamelan already defeated. And now with that, everything around goes into a blank state of where we see nothing while pondering what happens now…
----------------------------
At this moment, a familiar scene shows us the same white abyss place that is always very calm and peaceful when one is there. And like before, floating from above was a familiar large sphere with a star inside, and it was blue. As the large blue orb floated down to stop before Twilight, Applejack & Pinkie Pie, it let off a pretty light when they went to hold it. It felt really nice at the moment they did this, and felt something else like…from within their hearts and also something that was a portion of their Elements of Harmony. There was no denying it, this was really…an Ideya!
“Girls…you see this?” Twilight asked off in feeling amazed by what it was they are seeing here.
“Yeah, it’s…” Applejack nods slowly in getting what it was they see, it was….
“The Blue Ideya, symbol of Intelligence.” Pinkie Pie responded off to note what they have, and somehow felt…smart by that way of addressing the identity of this Ideya.
“Well, guess it darn goes ta show we are as smart, might not be super smart like ye Twilight.” Applejack smiled off to simply say this while knowing they are just about right when compared to their very smart pony pal here.
“Maybe, but we all have Intelligence, even those like Pinkie Pie.” Twilight commented to say that they are each smart in their own way. “How do you feel Pinkie?” She asked her pink friend in what she was feeling like the rest of them.
“Well…I can feel it filling my mind.” Pinkie Pie quoted to say that when she holds this Ideya, it’s likely entering her very mind.
“Plus, I think I feel our elements too.” Applejack replied off to say this in what else she felt too.
“So now we have three Ideya.” Twilight stated in knowing how many Ideya they have on hand.
“Intelligence, Purity and Courage.” Pinkie Pie described out those three in their possession.
“Then if we can get two more…” Twilight thought out slowly spoke in knowing just how many others they need now.
“No sweat Twilight, we’ll get this done…together.” Applejack proudly stated this off in saying they can get the job done if they stick together.
“Cause we’re here if you need us! And NiGHTS too!” Pinkie Pie happily issued to say this with the best of their hearts on the subject.
“Girls….thank you.” Twilight slowly smiled in feeling joyful to having heard such thought words.
“No sweat!” Applejack smiled forth in giving the A-okay reply.
“Happy to help!” Pinkie Pie smiled off to reply in her own kind words.
Then the Blue Ideya created three large orbs of itself to be in possession of the three ponies. And then they sank into to be absorbed into Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, with them having obtain the third Ideya that was missing from their hearts. So with this, it’s just another step close to feeling more portions of their represented Elements of Harmony rejoining them by each little bit. As the scene closes in here, the group feels like they are almost two more Ideya away from collecting a total of five that will help them out in the Night Dimension and soon….return home.
---------------------------------------
While the events of Twilight’s Team having won against Chamelan and obtaining their third Ideya had occurred, something else was going on. And it was within the realm of Nightmare as we find a familiar throne dominion in seeing Wizeman was station. And just below him were those that were likely mere ants, but they were in truth in people sizes. For it was Reala along with Phantom Pie that were bowing before the mighty evil god and ruler of the Nightmarens.
“All of my plans have been foiled…” Wizeman coldly addressed the matter of what has been occurring that his plans to destroy Nightopia….is being fouled, and he is sounding seriously upset. “My worthless creation.” Then Wizeman’s two giant metallic hands floated down near Reala in addressing to the one that has been letting him down recently. And from the bitty glares of yellow eyes on the metallic palms, they were glaring at Reala’s failure.
“Hey, I think he’s talking about you.” Phantom Pie silently whispered this to Reala near her, sensing who Wizeman was more upset with the one who was being responsibly in stopping NiGHTS & the pony Visitors.
Reala started to feel the intense pressure from Wizeman beaming down at him as he focus his head and closed eyes to bow in being devoted to his master while not wanting to face his wrath.
“M-Master Wizeman…! Forgive me!” Reala felt his words tripping in trying to speak and ask for forgiveness. “NiGHTS has joined forces with three other Visitors who each possess an Ideya of Courage, and…” Reala opened his eyes to look up upon his master in trying to explain the situation...
“Be silent, Reala…” Wizeman shouted off forth in sounding just about furious as his two metallic hands came within an inch to nearly twitch to grasp Reala with angry yellow and red eyes in wanting to end this creature here and now. Phantom Pie may have been near, but she almost felt like she didn’t wanna be in Reala’s shoes from this heavy pressure weighing on him.
“Yes, my master! Forgive me!” Reala bows down again in understanding this matter and wishes to be forgiven for even upsetting Wizeman.
Soon Wizeman’s two hands began to retreat back to the big body, as if having spared Reala and from destroying him for his failures.
“Where that useless Second-Level Nightmare has failed. Cerberus will succeed.” Wizeman issued off in sounding spiteful of where Chamelan had failed him, he shall bring forth another servant to succeed in dealing with NiGHTS.
“Cer…Cerberus the Hellhound?” Reala yelps to shutter his words a bit in sounding concern in having heard who it was Wizeman plans to send out to deal with NiGHTS.
“Um, is this like the same Cerberus from my world who guards Tartarus?” Phantom Pie questioned off in being the first time she’s hearing about this discuss relating to a name she has heard before.
“No, Cerberus of the Realm of Nightmares is considered to be the most ruthless & most dangerous Second-Level Nightmaren. When one becomes his prey, even those of One-Level Nightmarens, such as us, would be eliminated if not prepared for the worse.” Reala looked to the nightmare pink pony to explain that Cerberus, is a beast that compared to other Second-Level Nightmarens, he is one that is the strongest, and most feared of all that he could destroy any poor soul…even NiGHTS & he knows how dangerous the Hellhound can be.
“Hmmm….senseless, ruthless, and one to torture innocents…I may enjoy him being a pet.” Phantom Pie thought this over with showing a smiling interest all of a sudden.
“You Reala are already aware, I know that they have quite a…temper.” Wizeman exclaimed to mention this in a slow remark concerning how Cerberus has a ’temper’ issue even among other Nightmarens while obeying the Ruler. “Should you wish to avoid becoming their prey, I might advise you take care as well, Reala.” He spoke in a deep, dark, harsh tone of his voice of ‘might’ & ‘become their prey’ as a threat to one if they fall, even for Wizeman to make a simple statement that Reala must be better prepared if he knows what’s good for him.
“Heh, sounds like if you’re not careful, you’ll become a dog’s chew toy! Heh-heh-heh, how amusing it be to see that!” Phantom Pie let out a snicker to imagine what would happen to Reala as he showed an annoyed face in how carefree this pony thought it was funny when she knows nothing.
“Do not excuse yourself just yet, Phantom Pie. For you may also, share the same fate.” Wizeman forewarned Phantom Pie that the same fate of meeting Cerberus, may happen to her as well.
“M-Me!?” Phantom Pie suddenly yelps to shutter the idea, she’ll be target to Cerberus if she fails.
“Should you also fail to provide me with…results, of your service, I might advise you tread carefully.” Wizeman warns Phantom Pie with a dark threatening tone in advising this new ally of what happens to those that only excuse themselves will failures.
“Gulp….suddenly…I’m not into dogs right now!” Phantom Pie swallowed hard in suddenly changing her opinion about wanting such a dangerous Nightmaren as a pet…especially if it’s gonna eat her.
Having heard much of this that concerns his own wellbeing from how serious things have turn out, Reala kneels to cross his left arm to his master. “I will take control of the Cerberus and bring NiGHTS to you!” Reala vowed that he shall bring forth NiGHTS with the use of Cerberus, and he shall not fail his master this time around.
“Yeah, what are you gonna do about any of the pony Visitors though. With either one of the two groups, they’ll turn the tide.” Phantom Pie raised an eyebrow in reminding Reala that all NiGHTS needs is one group of her pony pals, and she’ll be alright.
“If my plan works, we’ll simply need to discourage NiGHTS’s spirit….by targeting those that feel most confident with her presence….before ushering a downfall. For like they say, the truth….can be a painful revolution between sides.” Reala responded to say this in feeling most confident in his words, much to Phantom Pie being lost in not understanding them; but by the sounds of it….there is a truth that will be a decisive blow to the Visitors.
With that, the scene begins to slowly darken at this moment as everything goes black while we can tell there is a rise of tension in the air. What will happen when NiGHTS & her friends suddenly meet an encounter with Reala, what sorta weapon will he use to cause problems. And will it be even more terrible than a wrath against the Nightmaren; Cerberus? For now, all these questions are all left to be solved….at a later time…If the gang can survive what to expect….
