Me and Amber have finished building the forces. Many armies have been made, and have combined with my powers. And also, Dreams's powers have combine with me essence as well.

He was somehow able to absorb the Abyss Crystal, and now his appearance has changed. But his powers did not, and was only Abyss made.

"Thank you, Sans and Amber. For giving me this new hope. It means so much to us, to me and Milady. We are forever in your debt."

Me and Amber nodded at Dream and nodded genuinely.

"It was no big deal. We are just happy to help you with that problem. I just hope that nothing bad will happen in here."

Dream than frowned a bit. Milady than spoke to me.

"Well, once you get out, it will become bad. Nightmare is waiting for you outside, and will try to capture you. He cannot enter the Donain, becaus of how the protection you put up is affecting him. He will try anything that he can to bring you to Salem, and will try to take your soul. Amber to will also be in trouble. She will get her powers taken, and Salem will use it for herself. So when you leave, fly away as fast as possible. Otherwise, it will be the end for everything we work hard to achieve against Salem."

I was shocked, but I nodded at those words. Amber than looked and held hands with me, her love interest. I spoke telepathically with Amber.

'We need to go to Ebott for one last visit. There is something very, very important for us to do. And believe me, we need it. Thankfully, we have the Relic of Creation. It will help us here. Amber, we need to use it to create a shield around us to that we could sneak away from Nightmare. But only after we get out. The Relic needs time to cool down from creating something. And while we do that, when it cools down for a minute, we can make an illusion to use to throw Nightmare off course. Are you ready, my Windfall?'

Amber looked and nodded yes. But before they can go, Amber spoke out to me, and it was very embarrassing.

'Sans, when we leave, carry me, okay? I may be able to fly, but I am unsure how fast Nightmare is, and I don't want to find out how fast.'

I looked a bit embarrassed. I stops using the telepathy ability, as I thought to myself of what's said.

'I can't believe I have to carry her again, just like when I had to rescue her from Cinder Fall. Alright then, it's time to move it or lose it.'

I looks at Amber, and picks her from he ground. I held her bridal style, and immediately moves fast.

Third Person Point of View...

At the same instant, Black Tentacle than came out of nowhere, and tried to ensnare Sans. But Sans was able to dodge it, and get away of the Domain of Light.

But as he was getting away, and unintentionally getting low on the ground, a black tentacle came out of nowhere again, and grabbed onto Sans. Amber slipped out of Sans' hands, but was able to fly just in time, and summoned a fire shield to protect herself against Nightmare's tentacles.

Abyss used the Abyss Chain, and due to the Purifying properties, while it did not fatally attack Nightmare, it was able to make him repel away from Sans' leg. Amber was not pleased, and used her Fall Maiden powers to rain lighting on Nightmare.

Nightmare, however, wasn't truly harmed. He may looked like he was hurt by that attack, but it is simply the lighting passing through his body, while it is in a form of a watery liquid. Sans grabs Amber again, and gets away as fast as possible.

As Nightmare was about to attack Sans for his power, an arrow than zooming out of nowhere, and hits Nightmare.

"GGGGHH!!"

Nightmare turns and sees the Arrow is made of light and crystal fused together. He has a solid guess at who it belongs to. He looks, and sees none other than Dream, his brother.

Dream was now holding onto his Bow and Arrow 'Desirable Imagination.' This Bow and Arrow allows him to summon Arrows made of Light, which are powered by Positive Emotions. Needless to say, Nightmare was severely enraged by this. He than turns around menacingly, and shouts.

But Dream does not respond from the demand that his brother made. Instead, his response was to shoot more Arrows of light at his brother. Before Nightmare could react, he was shot into many bits and pieces from the arrows. But after about a minute, he than came back together, and is looking very angry. After a minute is staring, Nigthmare growled at his brother, and spoke in a tone that's both dark and oily.

"You ruined the day, Dream. One of these days, I will make sure that you will share my pain from when in the past itself. The same one that you have to me from before."

After speaking, Nightmare turns to liquid, and than goes away. But Dream does not stop looking, like he expects him to come back instantly, and attack.

Amber had her hood on, as she looks at Nightmare fleeing for his life, as his mission has completely failed.

At the Schnee Dust Company hallway...

Weiss walks down a hallway, passing by a room that has framed portraits and replicas of Manticore and Beowolf heads decorating the inside wall around the doorway.

One of the portraits is a painting of Jacques and Weiss, from when Weiss was younger and still had her ponytail centered, before she received a scar over her eye. Another portrait depicts a white-haired man in a suit of armor. One portrait depicts Whitley playing piano, and another appears to depict a man in a white suit shaking hands with a man in a dark suit outside a Schnee Dust mine. There is a pair of portraits appearing to depict headshots of Jacques and Willow Schnee in their wedding attire, from a profile view. The other portraits depict the Schnee Manor, a curved pathway between two unknown structures, the City of Atlas, an industrial type building next to a cliff, and a fountain with a statue of a winged figure holding a staff.

As Weiss continues walking, she is startled by a waitress.

Waitress: "Miss Schnee, is everything okay?"

Weiss: "I'm fine, thank you! Keep up the great work."

Weiss curtseys and walks past the waitress, continuing on her way through the halls. Once she gets to Jacques' study, Weiss enters and breathes a sigh of relief, still facing the door. A voice from across the room startles her.

Willow: Hello darling.

Weiss turns around to see her mother standing behind Jacques' desk with a bottle in one hand and a glass in the other.

In the hallway...

Winter stands alone with her arms crossed in a hallway away from the dining room.

Penny: "Are you okay?"

Winter looks to her right to see Penny leaning around the corner. Penny walks over to her.

Winter: "I'll be fine. I just let my emotions get the better of me."

Penny: "What do you mean?"

Winter: "You wouldn't understand."

Penny takes a brief moment to process.

Penny: "Oh... right."

Saddened, Penny looks down at the floor, fidgeting with her skirt.

Winter looks at Penny, and upon seeing Penny's expression, she realizes that her words were misinterpreted. She moves to stand in front of Penny, speaking with a softer tone than usual, and Penny lifts her head to look at her.

Winter: "No, no, what I mean is, this place holds a lot of memories for me, specifically. I thought I was in control, but... you heard me. I sounded like a petulant child."

Penny: "I thought you sounded fine. You were just speaking from your heart. "

She said, placing her hands to her chest.

Winter: "And that is precisely the problem. I should have just stayed in line."

Penny turns her eyes away, thinking for a moment. She then looks at Winter.

Penny: "I guess you're right, I don't understand."

Penny walks away, going back around the corner. Winter stays behind, watching her go.

Mecha than comes and holds hands with Penny.

"Well, at least you are okay now. I really do miss the old times when none of this disaster had to happen."

Than, out of nowhere, Neo and Emerald than appeared again.

"Hey, Penny. You still haven't went out with Ruby. Shouldn't you do that right now?"

Emerald spoke to Penny, confused. This seemed to have distracted her from what has happened, because she looks up, realizing what she forgot, and began to speak very, very excitingly.

"Oh My!! That's right! I haven't done our play date!! Hold on, Ruby!! I'm coming!!"

She than used her thrusters, and began to fly away. Mecha than looks at the 2 and spoke out loud.

Mecha: Did you seriously came up with something like that now?

Neo shrugged, and pulled out her scroll, typing to him.

Neo: "We don't want to see one of our friend feeling down about this, so we?"

Mecha looks and spoke out to her fiends.

Mecha: That's a good point.

Neo and Emerald smiled at each other for distracting Penny, and Mecha agreeing with it.

Back with Weiss...

Willow: "I'm sorry I couldn't come down for your party, I'm... afraid I'm not feeling well."

While she speaks, Willow walks around to the side of Jacques' desk and sets her bottle and glass on it.

Weiss: Um... it's okay, mom. It's fine.

There is a brief silence.

Willow: "What are you doing i-in your father's office?"

Weiss blinks rapidly, unprepared for the question, but she soon recovers.

Weiss: "Just looking for something I left."

Willow looks at her glass, leaning it in circles on the desk.

Willow: "That's right, you... left."

She pauses, and than looks at Weiss.

Willow: "You left."

Weiss walks across the room, headed for Willow and the desk.

Weiss: "I need to use father's computer."

Willow: "Why?"

Weiss: "Because I think he may have done something. Something wrong."

Willow: "I thought we all simply assumed that at this point."

Willow turns her back to the desk and leans against it, resting her hand on top of her glass. Weiss looks at the glass, then at Willow.

Weiss: "Yes, well, some of us are trying to do something about it."

Willow tenses her fingers on the glass. She snatches up her bottle of Six Swans brand vodka and begins drinking from it.

Upset, Weiss looks away and grips her arm. Willow finishes drinking and gazes at Weiss, gaining a look of realization, followed by sadness. She sets the bottle on the desk.

Willow: "He started locking his home computer."

Willow turns and picks up a Scroll from the desk.

Willow: "But... he still has blind spots."

She opens the Scroll and taps one of the buttons, showing Weiss a live camera feed of the office. Weiss gasps and looks at the corner behind Jacques' desk. She then looks at Willow.

Weiss: "You put a camera in here?"

Willow seemed offended, and spoke really upset.

Willow: "I put them in every room of this house, for our safety, in case I ever needed to..."

She quickly trails off and takes a moment to gather herself. She then looks at Weiss.

Willow: "You haven't come back to stay, have you?"

Weiss: "No."

Weiss said to her mother. Willow smiled at her young daughter.

Willow: "Good."

A single tear rolls down Willow's cheek.

Her smile soon fades, and she wipes her tear away, while Weiss looks away sadly.

Willow: "A man came by."

She hands Weiss the Scroll, picks up her bottle and begins walking across the room.

Willow: "I'm afraid your father might've been involved in something more dangerous than he realizes."

Weiss looks at the Scroll, which has a recorded video of Jacques and Arthur Watts pulled up.

Willow: "No matter what happens, Weiss... please don't forget about your brother."

Weiss looks at her mother.

Weiss: "Whitley wants nothing to do with me."

Willow stops at the door and turns to look at Weiss.

Willow: "Of course not, you left him alone."

She looks at the portrait of Jacques behind the desk, and Weiss looks at it too.

Willow: "With us."

Willow leaves the room, shutting the door behind her, and Weiss stares at the door with a sad look of realization. She then gathers herself and looks at the paused video suspiciously.

Weiss: "Who are you?"

She taps the screen to begin playing the video.
