---Reaper's POV----

I tapped my fingers on the oak desk in front of me, growling silently. Geno had gone missing. No warning. He just disappeared.

He does that quite often actually. But he's always back within an hour ig someone calls for him.

And he always comes back if I call for him.

Always.

So considering that he's been gone for two hours...I was beginning to feel the slightest bit of concern.

"Where are you you little piece of shit?" I growled, my eyes scanning across the room. "What're you planning?"

Suddenly, footsteps running towards the cabin, and a second later, Geno burst through the doors, stumbling in and tripping to the floor. He seemed to he clutching something to his chest.

I immediately stood up, hissing. "Where have you been?!"

Geno winced, looking up at me. He stayed silent.

"Where. Have. You. Been." I asked again, implementing each word with force.

"Helping you, asshole." He snarled, getting to his feet.

"Ha! As if you'd ever help me."

Geno growled, slamming whatever he had in his arms down on my desk. "So this isn't helping is it?!"

I froze, my eyes widening.

It was the chest. Nightmare's chest. The one that I wanted. The one that we needed Nightmare's little pet to open for us.

"Where did you get this...?"

Geno smirked, looking me up and down. "His room? Duh."

I hissed softly at the way he addressed me, but I didn't challenge him. I know he's got something ale that he's hiding from me, so having my usual pissy attitude towards him wouldn't help much.

My hands reached out, tracing across the chest softly, the gold and jewels sending little sparks through my fingertips.

This chest literally felt magic.

"I know you've found something else Geno...so tell me now before I force it out of you..."

Geno snickered, walking to my side.

I blinked. "What happened to your arm?"

He froze up a bit, glancing down at the large bloodstain on his jacket sleeve. "It's nothing..."

I shook my head. If Geno said something is nothing then he's not going to tell you what it is. No matter how much you pester him.

Torture could get the answer out of him. But what's the point in hurting someone to find out why they were hurt already?

"So..." I started. "What else do you have for me?"

Geno smirked wider, and before I could say anything, he had something dangling in front of my face, swinging it back and forth like a pendulum.

I took a step back, letting the object focus in my view.

It was a golden locket. A golden heart locket. The prophecy boy's golden heart locket.

I blinked. "What's so special about that?"

Looked at me innocently before placing the locket in his hand other hand and fiddling with the clasp.

As it popped open I nearly took another step back.

In the middle, was a small golden key.

"I-Is that..."

"Yes Captain. It's the key to the chest. The chest right there on your desk. I have it right here in my hand."

I held out my hand to him. "Give it to me."

Geno snickered, closing his hand around the key. "Mmm...I don't think so, Reaper."

I growled. "What?"

"I have one condition if you want this key~"

"And what might that be?"

"Maybe a little kiss~?"

I snorted. "You really are desperate aren't you~?"

Geno smirked as I stepped closer to him. "Maybe~"

---Nightmare's POV----

I let out a soft groan as I woke up, covering my eye with a hand lazily. Waking up sucks.

Something shifted next to me, making me jolt and look over, only to instantly relax and smile as I saw that it was just Cross, snuggled up happily to my side.

I sighed, moving a hand to pet him softly, rubbing my hand over the top of his skull in a comforting way.

Cross purred softly, shifting in the bed so that he could press closer to me. God he's just so cute.

I nuzzled him before sitting up and looking around.

Immediately something felt wrong.

There was a horrible pit-like feeling in my 'stomach', making me feel ill.

But what was it?

I glanced back at Cross, checking him over. Nothing wrong with him. That's good...

I growled, getting to my feet and grabbing my clothes, slipping them on quickly, my eye scanning my room the whole time.

Something was missing. More than just one thing...

Anxiety starting to set in, I went quickly over to Cross' side, waking him up by shaking his shoulder gently.

"Crossy...wake up time..."

"Nuuuu..." He whined, making me snicker. "Don't wanna..."

"Mmm too bad Crossy." I said, pulling all the blankets off of him in one swift motion.

He let out a loud squeak, instantly curling up to cover his exposed body, shivering. "H-Hey! What was that for?"

"Wake up time, sweetheart~"

He blushed and huffed, hugging himself as he stood up to get his clothes on slowly. "Um...are you going to look away?"

"Nope."

Cross' face flushed and he quickly started putting on his clothes, glancing at me every now and then. "Perv..."

At some point I did I did turn around, snickering to myself.

That's when I saw the empty corner in the room. The corner where the chest was supposed to be...was empty...

That's when Cross spoke up. "N-Nighty...m-my lockets gone..."

No sooner than he'd said that the sound of frantic yells followed by splashes rang out.

And that's when everything clicked into place.

"THAT PICE OF SHIT!" I ran out of the room, kicking down the door and scrambling out to see members of Reaper's crew chucking my crew overboard, right off into the ocean.

I scrambled to the edge of the ship as Reapers pushed off, looking down at my crew swimming around frantically at the bottom.

"Oh Nightmare~"

I looked up to see Reaper stood at the end of his ship with Geno. The chest in one hand. Cross' locket in the other.

"GET BACK HERE REAPER!" I yelled.

He laughed, shaking his head. "I don't think so Nightmare. It's my turn for revenge!"

"NO REAPER IM SERIOUS!"

"And so am I Nightmare. Now I suggest you save your crew before anything bad happens!"

I growled, skidding to a stop at the end of the ship, unable to go any further. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS REAPER!"

He smirked, shrugging. "Once I have that treasure, I'll be able to pay for anything!"

And then just like that, he sailed off, his ship going off at full speed across the glassy ocean.

I let out a yell of frustration, turning around to see Cross stumble out of the cabin, clearly shaky on his legs.

I smirked for a moment before running over to him. "Get rope! Any you can find!"

Cross nodded, scrambling away as I sprinted over to the hatch that lead to bottom deck, practically jumping down the stairs. I stumbled over to the large coil of rope in the corner of the room and quickly grabbed it, gripping it tightly before running back to the top deck.

Once back on top I saw that Cross had already caught on to what I was doing and was tying some rope to a cannon on the side of the ship securely before chucking the rest of the rope overboard and into the water.

I started doing the same, tying the ends of ropes to cannons before pushing the rest overboard.

"EVERYONE!" I called, catching the attention of my frantic crew, that were still stuck treading water, half of them nearly drowning.

"GRAB THE ROPES AND CLIMB UP!"

They all looked at the ropes hanging off the edge of the ship and reaching the water. Immediately they all swam towards them, grabbing onto the thick ropes with numb hands.

I watched for a moment before walking over to Cross, hugging him from behind slowly.

"We've really fucked up...haven't we?"

Cross sighed, nodding softly. "Yes Nighty...we have...but you know what happens when you fuck up?"

He turned to look at me, giving me a quick kiss and smiling sadly.

"You put what you did right..."
