Prologue

Sky blue eyelids fluttered as a wolfbat hybrid fought to regain consciousness. Everything was a swirling blur of colors and his memory was slowly regaining itself. He was slowly recalling the events that transpired however long ago. Twilight the Lycalo had spent his morning visiting various stores for Christmas gifts for his friends and fiancé. Next thing he knew a tall hooded figure wearing an overcoat was attempting to get his attention. Being the curious individual he was, he approached cautiously. The figure was a man in his late 30's who claimed to know of the curse the Lycalo held within him. This had sparked the wolfbat's interested immensely and was more than willing to listen to his words. The man started off by saying it was necessary to conceal his appearance, then went on to state he had a cure for Twilight and asked if he was interested. After much thinking, the hybrid nodded his head. The last thing he remembered was hearing an apology, then something being pressed to his white furred muzzle, where his body lost feeling and his mind went blank.

And now here he was, in what appeared to be a laboratory, but where was completely unknown. Not much was able to be seen with the blinding light gleaming on him. He had felt his limbs regain their feeling, but couldn't move them. Upon inspecting his location, he was lying on a hospital bed that was positioned somewhat diagonally. His wrists, ankles and even his forehead were bonded by metal braces. Given his claustrophobia, not being able to move hardly placed his mind in a state of panic and began to struggle to get free.

“Ease yourself, Twilight.” Came a voice, the same thick German accent he spoke with before. The familiar hooded figure stood beside the wolfbat and seemed to have been waiting for him to awake. This time wearing a white lab coat and black slacks.

“Where am I…? And… what time is it for that matter?” Twilight replied with fear drenching his tone. While his location wasn’t an issue, he desperately wanted to get back home. Allowing the curse to unleash itself through lunar energy was never in his agenda. He began thrashing about in his restraints but to no avail.

“Patience, young wolfbat. We must induce the transformation before my procedure can begin.” The man replied. This didn’t exactly help Twilight with his current state of mind.

“N-not a good idea. I don’t think you know what you’re dealing with.”

The man was calm beyond reason and examined a small silver watch on his wrist.

“Ah, but I do. I’ve been watching you for some time. It’ll be any second now.” He stated, departing from the room before a reply could be given. During his absence, Twilight felt the inner darkness nearing its time. It was this point he decided to just accept things and hope everything turns out for the better. The increasing dark purple aura beginning to surround him wasn’t even a worry. It was at this moment the male figure returned, now equipped with a syringe filled with a glowing red substance. He stood close by, watching the Lycalo painfully transform into his monstrous alter ego. Before long, he watched in awe as the shaggy, black furred beast replaced the sky blue wolfbat, not even deterred by the impressive fangs and razor sharp teeth snapping at him. He stared Nightmare dead into his empty, soulless red eyes like he would stare at anyone else. He was truly fascinated with what he had witnessed, but the straining of the shackles reminded him he needed to act quickly. He plunged the needle with great force into the cursed Lycalo’s heart and injected him with the serum. Nightmare was able to send the man flying against the wall beside him with a swift and deadly backhand before his body froze up and his eyes became solid yellow. The gentleman left a small indent on the metal interior of the room as well as a streak of blood before his limp body fell to the ground.

Something phenomenal happened to the Lycalo at this point. His body was shrouded in a blinding white light, the same light that shows Twilight is moments away from restoring to normal. This instance was strange however as the cyan hybrid was tossed on to the ground in front of the chair while the light continued to fill the room. He got to his feet, shielding his eyes from the intensity. For a moment, he thought the mad doctor accomplished his goal, but he was wrong to an extent as he'd soon find out. Once the light subsided, Twilight looked with horror as the living nightmare remained in the chair, his body still with eyes closed and smoke surfacing from his body. His attention was brought to the anonymous male, but before he can seek out care for him, a sound filled his heart with terror. He slowly fixed his eyes back on the monster, only to see the glowing crimson eyes glaring with deep intensity and his fangs exposed and ready to sink into his flesh. What troubled him more was that the restraints were no match for Nightmare’s incredible strength and within seconds, he was free and standing high above his counterpart. With fear crippling him, Twilight fell victim to the onslaught of claws and teeth. Moments passed and the brute hoisted the helpless wolfbat by his throat and seemed to have the intentions of finishing him off. But something strange occurred. Despite having little intelligence to speak of, it seemed Nightmare was aware he was formally a part of this pathetic creature. For imprisoning him after all this time, death was far less than what he desired for the Lycalo. As such, he dropped the lifeless form to the ground, opting to make him suffer beyond reason. Leaving the 2 where they were, Nightmare departed the facility, which was a seemingly abandoned structure on the outer reaches of Station Square. Once the vile being of darkness was met with the open air of the winter evening, he let out a high pitched howl that could be heard for miles. It was his way of letting the world know he was forever unrestricted and was more than ready to express his freedom.

Part 1

(Starting this now)

Twilight gradually awoke after his encounter with Nightmare. In his diluted state, he wasn't quite sure where he was or what had excatly happened for that matter. He winced in pain, attempting to clear his mind. A light amount of pressure on the right side of his head brought him to reality somewhat. Upon taking a look at what could potentially cause such a thing, the hybrid found himself in slight shock as he saw the man who was essentially responsible for all the events that unfolded. There was a bandaged wrapped around the top of his head, with a decent sized patch of blood on the front corners, likely from the injury he sustained from the brrutal beast. Twilight quickly realized he was in the same chair before, only it had been positioned differently and allowed him to actually sit upright as if it were a normal seat. The man had been attending to the Lycalo's many wounds, which was evident by the numerous wraps and bandages seen across his body. The hybrid glared at the human, his irises strangely becoming orange in color, almost appearing as if they had a hint of red. It seemed he was just about to release unknown amounts of anger and hatred to him much like Nightmare did, but he simply let out a prolonged sigh and sat all the way back, staring blankly at the wall in front of him.

"Mind telling me what the hell that was all about, doc?" Twilight questioned, obviously irritated. The man was sitting on a wheeled stool and had rolled his chair back a small distance sensing the wolfbat wanted some space.

"My most sincere apologies, Twilight. I was painfully unaware of the repercussions." he admitted with a solemn sigh. The Lycalo let out a huff, moving about in the chair to get more comfortable.

"It's fine, I guess. Not like there's much neither of us can do now. I'm gonna at least warn my friends, that is if they don't know already. That thing tends to make everyone know he's out and about." he stated, attempting to sit up, but having a small degree of difficulty. One of the human's hands leant itself to assist the cyan wolfbat, which he accepted after some hesitance.

"Fair enough." the doc replied, pulling Twilight from the chair and helping him regain his footing. The canine stood on wobbly legs and gently pushed the man away, opting to do things himself. "Remember this place. If for any reason you require assistance, please inform me. I want to do everything I can to make up for my mistake." the man went on, a guilty tone present in his voice. With a nod in agreement and understanding, Twilight began to make his way out of the facility, currently unaware one of his allies was either close by, or already inside.

Just as Twilight was about to walk out, a figure appeared around the corner and suddenly stopped in front of him with a gleaming silver crossbow aimed at the Lycalo. It was a rusty-orange dingo wearing an all black outfit. It was Zorovar Hallstrom, though nearly everyone else knew him by his alias, which coincidentally was the same as the Lycalo's name: Twilight. Upon seeing Twilight, the dingo lowered his weapon. "Twilight?" he asked, not only surprised that the Lycalo was there, but completely baffled that he was not in his cursed form. A quick glance into the room told the dingo that a struggle had recently occurred there. "What's going on?" he asked.

Twilight was immensely startled by the dingo's presence. Usually he'd be able to hear his footsteps and catch his scent from far away, but his senses weren't exactly working at their finest right now. The wolfbat had raised his hands in the air with his fingers outstretched, signifying the hostile force he meant no harm. Upon seeing it was a friendly, he lowered his arms and looked at Zorvar with a somewhat troubled look on his face.

"It's... a long story. But I'm actually glad to see you. There's a bit of a problem. There's not much time so I'll explain on the way." He replied. If Zorovar chose to investigate the room Twilight just departed from, the doctor would be missing and the only thing remained was the remnants of Nightmare's chaos and destruction.

Meanwhile, a dark figure lurked about high above the city of Station Sqyare. There was so many choices of prey and the monster couldn't help but lick his fangs in anticipation. He was no longer being held back by his former other self, and he was moments away from letting the world know of such a fact.

"Great time ta be shoppin',don'tcha think so, Deadline?" a voice rang out. It sounded like a man.

"You only dragged me along to babble to me about how much stuff you're going to buy," another man replied dourly.

"Nonsense! Ah'm sure ya gots a family that'd like a present or two!"

Deadline didn't bother to correct his partner. He just let the hyena babble on, and the lizard looked around, a bored expression on his face. Both of them were unaware of the recently-unleashed terror lurking on the rooftops above them.

A young melanistic raccoon looked up at the sky, holding her scythe tightly. She noticed the dark figure, and she groaned.

"Wow," she muttered, but she was going to keep a careful eye upon it to make sure it didn't cause very much destruction.

Lucinda was taking a flight, holding her "daughter" near. Luce flew near the forest where her home was located, and she took a turn to the city. She had to make some last-minute Christmas shopping for some of her friends. Luce suddenly saw the figure, and noticed him immediately; she had seen that figure all too well. Luce stood there in horror and shock. This can't be.

A mobian rabbit like creature could be seen standing outside of a jewelry store as if she were waiting for something, then suddenly, she was approached by a mobian, cat/fox creature in a cloak.

"You shouldn't be here." She said to the rabbit. "I told you that this was my jurisdiction."

The rabbit turned around with her arms folded. "Since when have I ever listened to you." The rabbit scoffed.

The cat fox creature sighed under her breath. "Very well then, but remember, I am not above, killing those who interfere with my work." She turned and walked away, then the rabbit simply chuckled under her breath.

"If you think you can intimidate me, you are so full of it."

At the park, a purple Mobian cat was enjoying a nighttime stroll; she was accompanied by a Nidoking of all things.
