Maquillaville - Queen's Palace
*Darkness surrounds the area*
Come on, Vil. Just focus on me.
Here it is... The Best Actor trophy you've always wanted. Look, it's all gold and sparkly... Isn't it pretty?
Yes... It is... This is what I've always wanted.
Rook
Vil, no! Do not heed the darkness!
*Vil starts to sink into the darkness*
Heheheh. That's it. Just stay here, and you can be the best in the world forever and ever, all without having to put in any work.
So... Go on, Vi. Just close your eyes…
Mm…
*Vil sinks further into the darkness*
Rgh...! Come, just try and get away from me.Arrow Afar!
*Rook casts his signature spell, targeting Vil as he fully sinks into the darkness.*
The darkness keeps closing in!
*Silver and Sebek slash their swords, driving the darkness away*
MRAAAH!
Rook! Epel! Are you two all right?
The moment you guys stepped out on stage, everybody in the area turned to darkness...
Vil's been dragged into the darkness! I marked him with my signature spell, but...
After him, quick! We can still pull him back out!
After him?You want us to dive into that goop?!
If he gets pulled any deeper into slumber, it's going to be that much harder to wake him up.
*Everyone leaps into the darkness*
It appears to be the interior of the Night Raven College coliseum.
I fear I know this hallway...
Hey, I hear cryin’!
Arrow Afar's leading me in the same direction as that voice.
Let's follow it!
*Everyone runs in the direction of the crying*
Ah! Look, someone's on the floor.
Is that... Neige?!
!
*sob* Why...? How could this happen to Neige?
Hey, quit cryin', ya doof! *sniffle* *sob*
WAAAH! Neige! Neeeige!
Excuse me! What happened here?
I'm not sure. We were checking out the culture fair stalls, then we came back to the dressing room and found Neige collapsed on the floor…
Everyone, step back. I'm going to scan Neige LeBlanche's vitals.
He's....!
We can't wake him up no matter what we do. C'mon, man, you're not some sleepyhead like Shelpie...Get it together!
What do we do? He's getting colder by the second... Neige, don't leave us!
Hey, uh, MC ! See that bottle of apple juice on the floor? Is that...?
Rook
It's empty... How could this be?! Roi des Neiges!
He's been cursed...!
If we don't act fast…!
Oh... Right! Everyone, step away from him!
Your eyes will close, your breath will still...
*Neige is encased in a crystalline coffin-shaped shell*
Hey, what're you tryin' to pull?!
Crimson Slumber puts my target in stasis while they're encased in the barrier.
Rook, I think...
No! Oh, Vil, why?!
There is no beauty to be found in a top spot claimed through such nightmarish methods.
I think his mind's being dragged into darkness.
Even if it's only a dream, there's no way I'm lettin' him do somethin' that'll haunt him for the rest of his life.
Indeed. Quickly, to our queen!
