"DREAM WORLD!"
The entire battlefield changed.
The open field disappeared, replaced by a strange world filled with floating islands and an endless sky.
Nyx looked around.
Leyla stood several metres away.
"Welcome to my world," Leyla said.
Nyx chuckled.
"Interesting place."
Suddenly, the ground beneath Nyx disappeared.
She fell into an endless void.
Nyx spread her arms.
"Darkness Manipulation!"
Several dark tendrils emerged from her body and wrapped around the floating rocks.
She pulled herself upwards, but before she could reach the surface, a massive hammer appeared above her and slammed her back into the void.
Leyla watched from above.
"You're not going anywhere."
Nyx crashed into a small floating island and slowly stood up.
She looked up.
"You're quite troublesome."
Leyla smiled.
"You're not the first person to say that."
Leyla raised a finger.
"Dream World: Nightmare!"
The sky turned black.
Suddenly, hundreds of enormous eyes appeared across the sky.
Nyx looked around.
"What is this?"
Leyla snapped her fingers.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Massive hands emerged from the ground and grabbed Nyx.
They pulled her in opposite directions.
Nyx attempted to break free, but the hands continued tightening.
CRACK!
Her body was crushed beneath the pressure.
Leyla lowered her hand.
"You're stronger than I expected, but this is my world. I decide what happens here."
Suddenly, Nyx's body disappeared.
Leyla turned around.
Nyx reappeared on a small floating island several metres away.
She brushed the dirt from her clothes.
"Is that all?"
Leyla frowned.
"Still standing?"
Nyx smiled.
"Unfortunately for you."
Leyla raised her finger again.
"Then let's try something else."
The entire environment changed.
Nyx suddenly found herself standing in the middle of a burning city.
Buildings collapsing around her.
A massive explosion erupted in the distance.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Nyx looked around.
Leyla appeared on top of a nearby building.
"Do you like this one?"
Nyx looked at the burning surroundings.
"Not particularly."
Leyla smiled.
"Too bad."
She raised her hand.
"Nightmare Collapse!"
The buildings surrounding Nyx began falling towards her.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Nyx was buried beneath the rubble.
Leyla watched lazily.
A few seconds passed, then the rubble began moving.
A dark hand emerged and Nyx climbed out.
Blood ran down the side of her face.
She wiped it away.
"You're beginning to annoy me."
"Good. I haven't even started." Leyla replied.
Nyx looked at her then she sighed.
"You're making this more difficult than it needs to be."
Leyla raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
Nyx suddenly disappeared.
Leyla turned around.
Nothing.
She looked towards the sky.
Nothing.
Then.
BOOOOM!
A massive dark fist emerged from the ground and struck Leyla.
She was sent flying across the city.
Leyla crashed through several buildings before landing on the ground.
She slowly stood.
"What was that?"
Nyx appeared on top of a building.
"Just returning the favour."
Leyla wiped the blood from her mouth.
Then she smiled.
"Not bad."
Nyx looked at her.
"You're still smiling?"
Leyla raised both hands.
"Dream World: Endless Nightmare!"
The entire city disappeared.
Nyx found herself standing in an endless ocean.
Water stretched in every direction.
Leyla stood above the surface.
Nyx looked down. "Another illusion?"
Leyla shook her head. "Not exactly."
Suddenly, enormous waves rose around Nyx.
"Try surviving this!"
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The waves crashed down and Nyx was swallowed by the water.
Leyla raised her hand.
The ocean began spinning, forming an enormous whirlpool.
Nyx tried to escape, but the current pulled her deeper.
"You're running out of options." Leyla said with a grin.
Suddenly, a dark portal opened beneath her.
Nyx emerged from it and grabbed Leyla by the throat.
Leyla's eyes widened.
Nyx slammed her into the water.
BOOOOOOM!
The ocean exploded around them.
Nyx stood above her. "You're quite powerful."
She tightened her grip.
"But you're making one mistake."
Leyla struggled. "And what's that?"
Nyx smiled. "You're assuming I need to fight you using your rules."
Leyla suddenly disappeared.
Nyx looked down and her hand was now empty.
Leyla reappeared several metres away.
She took a deep breath.
"You're really difficult to deal with."
Nyx chuckled. "Now you understand."
Leyla claps her hands together.
The ocean began rising.
Nyx watched as the water formed an enormous sphere around her.
"Dream World: Eternal Prison!"
The sphere closed around Nyx.
A powerful explosion erupted.
The water compressed around her, crushing everything inside.
Leyla lowered her hand.
For a moment, everything became silent.
She looked at the enormous sphere.
"That should do it."
Then she heard a laugh.
"HAHAHAHA!"
Leyla's eyes widened.
The water began turning black.
Darkness spread through the entire ocean.
Nyx's voice echoed throughout the dream world.
"You're very talented, Leyla."
A massive shadow appeared beneath the water.
"But I think we've played long enough."
The ocean suddenly disappeared.
Leyla found herself standing in the original open field.
She looked around in confusion.
"What happened?"
Nyx stood across from her. Her expression had changed and she no longer looked amused.
Leyla stared at her. "How did you escape?"
Nyx slowly raised a finger.
"The captain told me to use only ten percent of my power."
Leyla stared at her.
Nyx continued.
"But it looks like I'll have to use twenty."
Leyla's smile disappeared.
"Darkness Manipulation..."
The shadows beneath her feet began spreading.
The entire area started turning black.
"LIMBO!"
A massive wave of darkness swallowed everything.
Leyla looked around, the open field was gone, the sky was gone. Even the ground beneath her feet had changed.
She was now standing inside an enormous dark dimension.
Leyla slowly turned around.
"Where am I?"
Nyx appeared in front of her.
"Welcome to my dimension."
Leyla looked around. "Where are we?"
Nyx smiled. "Limbo."
Nyx raised a finger. "In here, I control everything."
Suddenly, the ground beneath Leyla cracked.
Dark chains erupted and wrapped around her arms and legs.
Leyla struggled to free herself. "What is this?"
"You're inside my world now." Nyx replied.
Leyla tried to activate her Dream World but nothing happened.
She tried again, but the chains tightened around her.
Nyx watched her struggle. "What's wrong? Having trouble?"
Leyla glared at her. "What did you do to me?"
Nyx chuckled. "You're no longer in control of your surroundings."
The chains pulled Leyla off the ground.
Nyx slowly approached her. "Now..."
Nyx smiled. "Let's see how you handle my world."
