Rainbow breathed in the water like fresh air, fully submerged. It was a glorious evening, the sun barely drifting enough to make the sky change colors. It was warm with a cool breeze and the trees swayed under its pressure. The ocean shimmed with bright beautiful colors from the setting sun. Yet Rainbow couldn't enjoy it, not for a moment. Instead, he darted behind rocks and trees, too weak to fight back. He had seen the ocean from a distance and reached the newfound power source. Nightmare had not followed him into the waves and instead stalked him out, waiting for him to try to escape or give in.

His plan had flaws, but so did Rainbow's, as his sea-breathing gift wouldn't last forever; soon he would have to resurface, even for just a few seconds, to breathe. In the meantime, it felt like he couldn't breathe already, his painful whizzing unheard underwater. He look for coverage for when he resubmerged but realized he didn't need to; he would have enough power to make a decent counter-attack. He had the advantage of the home court and surprise, so although he knew it wouldn't do much, it would ever so slightly tip the scales in his favor.

He swam closer, from a different spot of which he swam in. He was able to sneak behind the beach behind rocks. He could run from there if he truly wanted to, but Nightmare would see him immediately. Rainbow focused his power, one leg still in the tide range. Then he charged, tackling Nightmare to the ground. Rainbow had only seen this much fear in the Nightmare King's eyes when Sabre gave him a power-up and they had their first head-to-head fight. He pinned him to the sand, which gave way every time Nightmare tried to kick free.

He raised his arm, threatening lightning. Nightmare was surprisingly easy to hold down, which was suspicious to Rainbow. He seemed to be fighting it, but Rainbow could only assume the water weakened him or he was generally weaker than usual. Either way, he place more pressure on his chest where his forearm pressed. Rainbow realized this was a perfect opportunity to squeeze information about the steve.

"What do you want from us?" Rainbow yelled at him.

Nightmare shook his head "Why should I tell you?"

Rainbow leaned hard, shaking the lightning summoner in his hand "Cause this fight will end a lot faster if you don't"

"Fine!" Nightmare choked out under the weight "I- I'm following orders!"

Nightmare anxiously wondered if said order giver was listening to the battle. He concluded that no, he was not; he would have come out by now to drag Nightmare away. His only job besides destruction was to not break cover, yet he just did. Elemental might be angry or, more likely, he would just hang his head as he'd have to report the failure to his boss. He would be weary, and just tell him to go. It made him feel worse than any amount of yelling his employer could muster. It also made him wonder how far up the chain of power went.

Rainbow was surprised, but didn't let it show "But what are you after"

"I don't know" He truly didn't, but Rainbow wasn't so sure.

He kneed him in the groin, causing Nightmare to squeal in pain. "That's not an answer!"

Nightmare groaned, rolling to his side. Rainbow subconsciously gave him room, only to shove him back down on his stomach once he realized how easily he could escape. He pressed his neck down, a knee on his back.
