Nightmare was hardly even alive in there. You couldn’t ever possibly call this sad excuse of an existence living in any capacity. But he was thinking. He could see, he could hear. So when he heard the door open, when he saw Robotnik come into the chamber for reasons Nightmare could only assume were not nice, Nightmare felt prickling on his metal.

Faint pain of electricity that didn’t exist which made his melded together fingers try to twitch, but stop out of the threat of actual pain. Nightmare didn’t whimper because he was no scared dog, but he was most certainly not looking forward to any talk he refused to respond to.

..Oh no.

Banana’s in the room. So he’d have to watch Nightmare get tortured again. Ugh, how awful. He wanted something to change, he just wanted the bad dreams he gave Robotnik to give him a heart attack and kill him. He wanted Banana to wake up his dad, he just wanted some positive change for once.

He wanted to stop looking so pathetic, at the bottom of the orb, barely even alive looking, completely mute, rusted over, and unmoving. He wanted a change from that. Anything that could change that would be nice. Maybe he should think about really, really actually asking Meta Knight for help.

The egg has gone from the frying pan straight into the fire. That’s a burnt and messed up egg right there, gonna have to get a new one after this. Regardless, this dream started off with Robotnik.. In bed. Still in all his same clothes. Except there’s no blankets on the bed. All the covers are gone, it’s just the mattress.

It’s like Robotnik had blinked and suddenly something had gone off with all his covers and what not. Now, what could have possibly stolen from him? Was it Eggette? Who knows.

Better go find those blankets. This is very important.

Nightmare was like a loose dinosaur in one of those dinosaur park movies. He shredded through everything he went through like an unstoppable, godly force that nothing could topple. Watching him draw closer and closer through the security cameras was surely a pretty spooky experience.

Nightmare could taste it, sense it in the air as he perused through the hallways. Fear, fear, where it was. But moving forward, the air burned his metal and he’d often had to stop and heal himself to keep going.

He’d gotten lost along the way, but he was getting there. With his illusions, he was calling out in someone’s voice.

“Eggette?”

‘Robotnik’ called, looking for ‘his’ niece. The illusion sounded basically perfect. It was all auditory, no visual. Nightmare kept it center to himself as to make sure that if the person in question did hear him, it’d be close by.

All Nightmare had to do was find her and his cape. Then, he’d put Banana in his cape, slap her a bit like he did to Robotnik, and leave.

Nightmare was personally here to make sure the dream amused him. Not that he could be seen or sensed, he’d blended himself into the materials and things themselves, the very air and space of this place. He was basically the setting, and at the same time, the characters, but he had no feelings over them.

The room is just one of Robotnik’s many. Well, except this one’s special. It’s. The Chaos Emerald room. In which there were all seven. All in their proper places, all of them glimmering, all of them there.

What a pretty sight.

Almost makes you not see the clone of Robotnik that just sort of sat up from the other’s body, detaching from him like a weird liquid man, brushing himself off, then stepping ‘out’ of the other in perfect form. He looked exactly the same, this guy.

“Oh, right. Well, with preparations and.. Sudden naps out of the way, lets get right to it.”

Lets just call him.. ‘Fearegg’ for clarity.

“That little nuisance is going to be as dead as dirt, and I can finally take over the world unopposed.”

Fearegg smiled sinisterly to himself, in a way that Robotnik might. Well, he reached out for the Emeralds. It seems, if there were any precautions or security on the Emeralds seconds before, there weren’t now. They’d deactivated to allow this guy to touch them.

Jam, the Big Beetle Boy that had been a gift by Nightmare, was rather brash in all of this. Maybe more offputtingly aggressive than nessecary. But it had detected something off, and was acting out of pure, absolute despair and hellish anxiety that made its limbs twitch and eyes sharpen out of tenseness. It looked rather dodgy, checking corners and scoping around before dragging Eggette down a hallway by her wrist.

It seemed to know exactly where it needed to go. Mostly because it could tell where its creator was at all times, so long as it was on the same planet as him. So, it’d mapped out this place and forced Eggette along with it as Jam made the trudge all the way to Nightmare’s holding cell. 

Once they were there, Jam closed the door behind the two and continued to drag Eggette all the way up to the encaged wizard’s big glass orb, where he was still wailing on the glass. 

He’d looked frenzied as they’d came in, but as soon as he saw them his spirits lifted to something much less extremely scary to look at. A big metal wizard being angry was a far from pleasant sight.

“You, you!” Nightmare sounds delighted, seeing the Buggzy and Eggette, “You, I. I need you to get me out of here. You have to get me out of here.”

Nightmare pressed his hands against the glass as he looked down on the two.

“There’s been a mistake. Or, or, what, what do they call it? A malfunction? Yeah, you, I,” Nightmare sounds flustered, and unsure of himself, key things that told off the fact that he was lying, “You need to get me out of here.”

A girl all alone and all cut up (yet somehow not bleeding despite there being blood vessel and meat obviously there) was certainly quite the horrific sight indeed. But apparently it wasn’t enough. Even when Eggette was crying this man just told her to ‘stop’. What was she supposed to stop? Stop being hurt? Stop being tortured?

What was she at fault for?

Eggette, through sounds of extreme soundness and agony, broke up her sentence multiple times due to the sobs, but it came out something like ‘uncle don’t hurt me, I didn’t do anything’. 

It’s a terrible noise, this little girl’s sobbing.

Nightmare scoffed to himself, amusing himself with his internal processes that he let himself laugh and smile. Despite how much he’d been tortured, he still had his confidence in himself.

“Yeah, I do. I know one holiday. There’s one where I hold a party. It’s the day you die.”

Nightmare’s is nice and loud as he halfheartedly yawns, then goes back to smiling in the face of danger and torture.

“But I can tell that’s not the one you celebrate. As suicidal as you are, doing all this. Also I’m not doing anything you want. Unless it’s killing you. Which I will absolutely and happily do for you. Maybe with some stuff before it but yeah, I’ll definitely kill you. For you. Just let me out and we’ll get cracking.”
