(Note: This is the morning of the fall, and the fall does not happen until the night) 

Nightmare is sat in his room, thinking over the events that are about to take place. The events of today, no matter what they are, will change the course of his future forever. He took a look at the staff that sat in the corner of his room, and stepped towards it, picking it up and examining it. It was a staff made of a strange dark metal, with purple cloth lining it. There was a crescent moon engraved on the top of the staff, nightmare recognized the staff, as much as he didn't want to. While Dream had the bow of light, nightmare had this staff. It was the darkness that Combated the light, and now it was once again in his hands.

Nightmare: how?

There was a note attached to it, it was from his current host, Jaune, it read

'Thought you might need this, while I might not agree with what your about to do. I will not fight a pointless battle against you, good luck'
-Jaune

Nightmare smiled for a second but shook it off

Nightmare: positivity, disgusting.

He tossed the staff into the air, as it disappeared in a flash of black light. Nightmare stepped out of his room and made his way to the throne room

Nightmare: today's the day.

Roman stood in the middle of the training room, an ax in his hand, and destroyed robots all around him. He smiled in satisfaction as he strapped his ax ok his back, and subconsciously touched his large head wound. It took a while to get used to it, but He had grown accustomed to the wound. He had tried to hide it, by wearing a sweatshirt and shorts to stand out less, and wearing a hood a lot. But as time went on, he accepted it, even showing it off as if it was a trophy. Watts spoke to horror over to the loudspeakers in the combat room

Watts: Horror, it's time.

Roman, or horror as he was now called, made his way to the throne room. It had taken a while to get used to the new name, but it was one of the only things horror remembered. He took a look down at a piece of paper as he walked, it was titled 'things I remember' and was a surprisingly shortlist

Things I remember
Neo
Undyne
Horror
Undyne
Nightmare
The plan
Undyne
Roman

He stuffed the paperback in his pocket and entered the throne room

Horror: today's the day.

Neo sat in her bathroom, staring at herself in her mirror. She cautiously touched the black substance coming from her eyes and was surprised when it felt like nothing. It didn't block her vision or even mess up her makeup. It just existed, and there was seeming nothing Neo could do about it. It had started after she heard about what they were planning to do with Roman, she had never felt such hatred in her life, and then the substance just started to come from her eyes. It was kinda like tears if tears were black and looked oddly like the stuff nightmare seems to be made of. Neo looked at the clock and made her way over to the throne room. She thought to herself as she arrived

Neo:'today's the day'

———————————————

Salem sat on her throne, waiting for her subjects to arrive. Today was the day they would storm beacon, and take the fall maiden. Cinder would take the position as the new maiden, and beacon would finally be gone, Ozpin along with it. She would finally be able to move on with her plan, to conquer all of remnant, but she knew it would be a struggle. But now with the newly transformed Roman, who now calls himself horror, and the guardian of negativity on their side. They couldn't possibly lose, right? Salem shook that thought out of her head, they wouldn't betray her, they don't even how the power to. Salem smiled as her subjects arrived in the throne room

Salem: today's the day.

——————————

Salem stood from her throne, smiling as she did

Salem: my loyal subjects! Today is that day we have prepared for all these years, and now all our planning will come to fruition.

Salem stepped down from her high place and began to walk among her subjects

Salem: You all know your roles, we've been training for this

She stopped by nightmare

Salem: Nightmare, make sure Horror does his job, understood?

Nightmare nodded and Salem walked back to her throne 

Salem: well, what are you waiting for? get to it! 

Nightmare grabbed neo and Horror, engulfing them in his tentacles as they teleported away 

-----------------------

Two atlas soldiers stood guard on one of the three ships that were going to leave for beacon shortly, the ship was currently orbiting atlas, making its final preparations for the festival. The first soldier turned to the second 

S1: Hey 

The other soldier turned to the first 

S2: Yeah? 

S1: You ever wonder why wer-

they were cut off by nightmare, neo, and horror arriving in a ball of black goo. Nightmare passed the trembling guards, who aimed their weapons at him as he kept walking.

S1; Freeze! 

He takes out handcuffs and runs up to nightmare, who turned towards the soldier, easily towering over him. 

S2: I think we are gonna need bigger handcuffs. 

Nightmare sighed as he began to interact with the door pannel 

Nightmare: Horror, deal with them.

Horror smiled and licked his lips 

Horror: My pleasure boss. 

Horror pounced on the two men, as blood splattered onto nightmare's face, who wiped it away. 

Nightmare: Stupid door 

He moved in front of the door, tearing it apart with his tentacles. 

Nightmare: Better. 

Nightmare and his crew made their way towards the control room, with horror and Neo destroying atlas bots and soldiers along the way. as they entered the control room, the few guards and captain turned towards them. 

Captian: What are you doing here?

Nightmare grabbed the soldiers next to the captain, throwing them into the wall behind him as he walked towards the captain 

Nightmare: I am here to commandeer your ship 

He stabbed the captain with his tentacle, ending the pitiful man's life. Nightmare sat in the captain's chair, as the ship began to move along with the other 2 towards beacon for the festival, as nightmare smiled 

Nightmare: Today's the day
