Chapter 2: Before the Attack

"Get back to work."
Nightmare ordered as he sat up against his stone throne.

ell grunted uneasily as he nudged Error, signaling him to follow him.
Error and Fell left the room quietly without saying a word.

Nightmare facepalmed and groaned.
"Ugh! Why do I have to deal with these idiots!?"

orror kind of felt offended but kept his jaws shut, he wasn't going to test his patience.
"Is there anything I can do for you, my lord?"

Killer appeared behind the door, casually holding his knife out.

"Oh no it's you again."

Nightmare had a look of annoyance with a mix of sarcasm.

"Hmm? Not excited to see me, huh?"
He scoffed.

"Stop bothering me! Just get back to work you little piece of shit!"
He snapped.

"I would do that Nightmare, but I actually have a suggestion."

Nightmare crossed his arms and rolled his eye-lights.
"Make it quick, I don't have all day."

Killer snickered and tossed his knife in the air and caught it again.
"I think, we should attack the Empire of The Sun today."

"Good luck. They have defence all around their empire."

"We'll attack at night, we have an advantage."
He added.

"How will that help at all?"
Nightmare asked.

"They'll be all asleep, they won't see us coming."

"Like if that would've been a much better idea, I would've done that moons ago!"

"We need a much better plot, this is just a suggestion, Nightmare."
He stood firmly.

"My lord."
He corrected.

Killer rolled his eye lights and repeated what he said.

"Yes, my lord."

He smirked sinisterly.
"Much better, now where were we?"

"How could you forget- nevermind. I was thinking of a plot that involves the rest of the gang."
He explained.

"Keep talking."
Nightmare gazed the other direction.

"We attack at night- well I already said that..."

Nightmare had an unamused facial expression.
"Just get to the point!"

"Fine, fine."

"Continue on."
He flicked his hand.

"Today, the Empire of the Sun will be having their Anniversary for their Empire, there will be a big celebration and parade."
He said without any enthusiasm.

"And how do you know this information? I must say."
He looked up and glared at Killer.

"Didn't you hear? The news went around for about- like a week ago."

"Then why didn't you tell me this last week then?"
He questioned.

"I didn't think it would be important, to be honest."

Nightmare's tentacles raised up in anger as it pointed at Killer.
"You should tell me everything that you know about the Empire of the Sun."

"My lord, you said not to waste your time."
He crossed his arms.

"Well you clearly are wasting my time, right now."
Nightmare gritted his teeth as he slumped back onto his throne.

Killer sighed and changed the topic.
"ANYWAYS- Error and Fell should meet up at the gates of their Empire and distract the guards there. Cross and I will enter through the back of their castle and keep Dream's child on hostage. Horror and Dust will clear the city- like a killing spree and once the job is finished... we flee."

Nightmare looked back at him.
"It's a good thing that I'm not involved in this attempt. You better not fail in any way or else all of you will be punished."

"Yes, my lord. I shall tell the others of the plan."

"You are excused to leave the room."
Nightmare pointed at the door.

Killer nodded and left the room, silently spitting at his arrogance.

"So, what's the plan?"
Cross sheathed his sword-knife weapon and put it behind his back.
"Well, both of us get to enter the Empire from the back."
He explained.
"Oh cool."
Cross blinked as though he wasn't really paying any attention.
"Ooh! Ooh! What do I get to do?"
Horror raised his hand up, excited about what was going to happen.
"You get to kill people with Dust."
Killer summarized to make it seem for interesting.
"Hell yeah."
Dust cheered.
"Oh yeah, and Error and Fell will block the gates if anyone tries to escape."
Killer added.
"I don't think this is a good idea, with only 6 of us and like 100 of them, there's a chance they might beat us."
"A chance? Pfft. We're way more powerful then them."
Dust butted in.
"Y'know, I don't think we should attack... We haven't bothered each other in a long time... maybe it should stay that way."
Cross quietly said as the other talked.
"Cross, what are you talking about?"
Horror asked in disbelief.
"We need to eliminate the enemy, don't you understand?"
Fell crossed his arms and scoffed.
Cross looked down and mumbled.
"Fine."

"So when do we leave?"
Error asked.
"We should do it at midnight!"
Horror suggested.
"Good idea."
Killer agreed.
They all cheered and continued to plan about their upcoming attack.
