paradetherainTitle: Nightmare, Chapter 4
Rating: Errr PG-13 for swearing in this one I suppose? idk.
Summary: A confrontation? Lame jokes? I don't even know. :|
I told you.
Those aren't your friends.
Your friends would never attack you, right?
Let's defeat these impostors together.

Yue sighed, and summoned Mizuchi. Fighting something that looked like her brother... wasn't something that she wanted to do, but if there was no other option...
She took aim, before Souji pushed her hand down. "Stop."
Yue glared at him. "Why? This fake is blocking our way to Isamu."
Miwako sighed, and shook her head. "No. He's not."
Yue froze. "... He's not? Then that's..."
"Yes. Your brother himself." Nyx gestured to the planet covered in darkness in the distance. "His heart called to me, deep down. I merely ended his pain."
"You bi-" Yue was cut off by Minato clamping a hand over her mouth and shaking his head.
Orpheus crossed his arms and shrugged, seemingly bored with this whole exchange.
Yosuke spoke up. "He already faced his Shadow. He should be done with this."
Nyx chuckled. "Doing so only provides a temporary reprieve from my children. He understands that. As do you." Her gaze fell on Orpheus, who yawned.
"Are you done yet?" Miwako snickered at her 'brother''s reaction. "Honestly, you and your speeches."
The goddess rolled her borrowed eyes. "Fine, then. Fight me. Kill this body. One more death amongst all the others."
"You're bluffing." Yue narrowed her eyes. "He's too valuable."
"Child, there will be others of his arcana. I could find another. This is merely out of convenience." Nyx sounded bored, flipping the handle of the sword between her hands.
Souji glanced at the planet. "This is a world where the Seal failed, isn't it?"
"That's correct." Nyx smiled. "Their pain has ended."
Miwako took a step backward, her eyes widening in alarm at the aura suddenly coming from Nyx. "Back up."
Minato nodded and hauled Yue a few steps backward, not questioning the instruction.
Nyx took a few steps forward in her borrowed body, pools of darkness appearing where she stepped. Isamu's skin seemed to pale, and his hair darkened past even Minato's blue, all the way to black.
"I'm going to be polite. Step aside." She pointed to the door behind them with her sword. "I have places I need to be."
"No." Souji facepalmed at Yosuke stepping in front of the group. "I'm not sure who you are, exactly, but you're not using my son for whatever you're planning."
"I am the darkness. I am the night. I am -"
"Batman?" The entire group stared at Yue.
"... What." Miwako snickered. "How do you even know who Batman is?"
Yue shrugged.
Nyx snorted. "Do you know how many times I've heard that joke?"
"... Five?" Yue offered 'helpfully'.
"... Times that by about fifteen thousand, perhaps."
"... Right." Orpheus said flatly. "In any case, the door is off-limits." The Compendium appeared in his hand, and it opened and flipped pages until he found what he was looking for. Miwako and Souji took this as their signal to prepare as well.
"W-wait, we're going to fight him?" Yosuke stammered. "You'll kill him!"
"... So?" Orpheus responded.
"What do you mean, so?! That's my son!"
"Who is currently housing a goddess of the night intent on entering the Mall and spreading to as many worlds as she can. Would you like to be the one to explain to the residents of the Mall why their worlds are suddenly dead?"
"... No, not really."
"So shut up."
Yosuke opened his mouth to say something, but shut it when Yue walked right up to Nyx and grabbed the body she was currently possessing by the shirt collar.
"I'll give you one chance, and one chance only. Get the fuck out of my brother."
Nyx smiled, and patted her on the head. "Let's talk, dear child." In an instant, the two were gone.
Yosuke looked at Minato, and then Orpheus. "W-where did they go?"
There was silence for a few long moments, and then Miwako and Orpheus spoke in unison. "... I don't know."
