Chapter 11- Rivalry
"We got this covered, we don't need you here!" Hissed Midnight. She was by the portal opening which was going to close soon. The rest of the portals have already been taken down, now that 98% of the inhabitants have been moved. They'll be doing one more sweep in order to make sure everyone's been evacuated and they can start to attempt to retake this universe, but for now Midnight will be heading back to The Oasis.
"Got this covered? Bitch if you had it covered then explain why the hell were these creatures here huh?" Bickered back Pj.
Midnight kept her pissed off expression. "Shut it Pj!" She snapped back. Midnight furiously turned around. "And do not follow me, you are not welcomed here." She said going through the portal. The light dimmed as her eye sight regained it's self.
"Why not? You still butt hurt about your daddy issues?" Midnight stopped in her tracks. Pj had followed her through the portal. She turned slowly. "Oops did I hit a nerve?" He said with a smug smile.
Midnight's expression relaxed. "He's not my father." She said turning again. She proceeded to continue to walk away. "I just find you extremely annoying and useless." She stated coldly.
Pj gasped. Attempting to sound offended. "Oh so you're upset because we abandoned you? So you're blaming us for your problems." He said with a click of his tongue. He paced forward and caught up with his cousin.
"We left you, because we didn't want to put you in danger. We may be cold and distant but it's better this way." She said attempting to walk away from him.
"So that's why you don't reach out." He smiled. "Then why are you so mad?"
Midnight stopped. She looked to him as he came into view. "Because we've made it clear to leave us be. We don't want anything to do with you all and yet. You opposed that one rule and you then use your skill and power to get some people to like you! Its abuse of power." She said puffing her chest.
Pj hummed as he leaned forward. "So you're jealous?" Midnight flinched.
"What?" She said feeling rather annoyed. "How dare you accuse me of something so low!"
Pj laughed. "You do the exact same thing whenever you've been to our place." Midnight lowered her head. "We're rivals it's only right for you to feel that competitive spirit. I am quite t-" he was cut off as he realized that Midnight was gone. She was ahead. She was fast walking but fast enough to where she was nearly at the door that led to the rest of the castle. Pj noticed and clenched his teeth. "You little b-"
Comet was in the meeting room with Phoenix as they were both overviewing the production and stats of The Oasis 2.0 as the newcomers were going in. Everything was looking well which meant they'll be able to leave and go introduce these people to their new home. "You think Midnight will be here s-"
"Shh." Comet quickly interrupted. They both stayed still. Listening to the silence. "Someone's here-"
The double doors opened. In came Midnight and Pj. Both looking rather exhausted. "I beat you." Whispered Midnight as she walked forward. Feeling rather tired.
"Pj!" Both the younger individuals gave an excited cry. Comet and Phoenix were walking over. "Hey you two!" He said happily. "Comet so good to see you! You look great! New cloak?" He said petting her head as she came to view. Comet gave a soft expression.
"Same old, same old." She said holding her hand out for a handshake.
"Hey Pj!" Exclaimed Phoenix as Comet went to catch up with her sister. "You look well! Not a day over 543!" Pj laughed.
"I should say that to you! Seems like you stopped aging! You look so well! Soon you'll be a pile of bones." Pj stated sarcastically. Phoenix laughed and hugged Pj. "Where's Jupiter?"
Comet typed a few things from the computer. "She's currently acting as clean up crew for Nightmare's mess. She's starting the speech to help out the abandoned individuals." She said as a screen popped up. It showed a Jupiter talking and projecting her voice. "We should be getting there too. They'll be wanting us there soon."
"The portal is ready, we were just waiting for you Twi." Midnight hummed.
"Then let's get going. We shouldn't waste anytime." She said turning to leave. The rest followed as Pj was behind them. It was quiet for a few minutes.
"So Pj." Started Comet. "Why are you here?" She said finishing the sentence. "We no longer associate with all of you and yet here you are." Phoenix looked at his sister. Pj had stopped walking.
So did they. They looked over to him as Pj looked out a window. "I have a message." He stated. He looked back at his cousins. "We want to speak with you." Midnight narrowed her eye. "We've been meaning to apologize and start a new. We have a lot of things going on. We've like to have a word with all of you. We think it's time to form an alliance." Both the younger leaders looked at their sister.
"All of a sudden." Midnight moved past her siblings. "Paper Jam. You, Lux, Ink, Error, Cross and Dream left us. We cared about all of you even still. We care about you all so much, we ultimately decided to stay away for your own safety. Besides it doesn't seem like our uncles even want to see us again anyways." PJ sighed. He felt sadden. Everything that was said was true. They did abandon them. They were neglected. Maybe it was the fear of being involved with Nightmare that had them be neglected and felt lonesome.
"This isn't about them." said Pj as he gripped onto the cloak. "Lux and I miss you guys. We know things can't go back to how they used to be, but I want you to know that we are here to support you." Pj looked up to them. "Things are changing, we need to work together if we want to bring this menace to a halt." Midnight squinted her eye. She hummed quietly.
"I'll need Jupiter and the rest of my advisors. I also need them to come. If you're serious about this then show me that you're serious about it." She turned away looking down back at the hall. "You have 3 days. If I don't hear anything I'll assume it's been withdrawn." Midnight took a step and continued forward. "You're welcome to leave whenever you'd liked."
