"He won't be waking up anytime soon, human." Said a feminine voice from the shadows. Crazy tried to wake Jotaro with force now, kicking him on the ground. He remained asleep, albeit looking a bit more pissed off. Crazy gave up and spoke to the figure in the darkness.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Crazy asked the figure in the shadows. He was slowly beginning to feel tired, so he activated his ten. Crazy felt less tired as soon as he did. Little did he know that this protected him from the sleep spell she was using to make him tired at the moment.

"Tch, seems that you have some basic protection from my sleep spell. It means very little to me that you do, human. I am the Princess of the night and the keeper of dreams. I am not here to fight, I am here to talk." Crazy scowled at this lie.

"I am no fool. If you wanted to talk, you would not have activated that spell of yours." Crazy said, preparing to fight.

"Perhaps I should make myself clear. I wanted to talk." What! Why does she want to talk! Oh, crap. I just realized something, isn't she the one responsible for getting me imprisoned in the first place! Yes, she must be. I remember everyone falling asleep in the camp and we got captured! NO WAY! I NEED TO RUN! Crazy did not waste any more time talking to this 'princess' of the night, he ran!

Of course, he could not go five feet before the Princess teleported in front of him. Crazy suspected this from a creature that holds itself in high regards. He decided if he wanted to survive this encounter, he was going to have to play dirty. He picked up some dirt and threw it at her face. It worked for around 5 seconds. Crazy had ran back to Jotaro and took one of the metal things off of his hat. Sorry Jotaro, but i'm going to need this for us to escape. Forgive me, I might damage this piece a bit.

He pushed Jotaro into the bushes, and then lightly shoved the metal piece he took from Jotaro's hat into his pocket.

"Damned ape! I'll kill you SLOWLY!" The princess of the night rubbed the dirt out of her eyes only to see that both of them were gone. "HA! You choose to run! ITS FUTILE TO RUN FROM THE NIGHT!" She shouted. Crazy was hiding in a nearby bush, ready to throw the metal piece at her. He jumped out of the bushes and threw the piece. It missed her by a mile. She turned around and laughed. "HA! You can't even hit me, yet you want to win in this battle!"

That was when Crazy threw a rock at the metal piece from outside of her view. It created sparks and made a loud ting upon being hit by the rock. She noticed it, successfully distracting her from him for enough time for him to attack again. Crazy threw two rocks at her. The first grazed her and drew blood, the next rock missed.

The princess of the night turned around, fuming in anger but Crazy was gone. He had activated zetsu while pushing Jotaro in the river. Damn, this water is cold! Crazy thought as he waded deeper into the water with Jotaro. Crazy swam them both down the river as fast as he could.

The night had passed, rather uneventfully in fact. Crazy swam down the river fast at the beginning so he could lose the princess of the night, then he just went with the flow of the river until he saw the place to get off at. It was a small cave, it looked unlikely to harbor any life that would be bigger than him. The mouth of the cave was around 6 feet, which Crazy had trouble getting Jotaro in due to his tall stature. He started a small fire outside of the cave to dry their clothing and attempt not to catch hypothermia.

He put Jotaro in the entrance to the cave, the cave went further than that, but Crazy was exhausted enough as is and did not want another adventure. The rest of Crazy's morning was spent training his REN by punching trees over and wondering what was further into the cave that Jotaro laid dormant in. He could have sworn he saw a light in there. Must be another exit to the cave. I should check it out.

Fatigued, Crazy stopped punching trees and got up from his sitting position. I should at least check the location of the exit out, maybe it could be something else. Something... dangerous. He started towards the light, slowly and hesitantly. He slowly made his way over to the light, it was just around the corner of his current position.

He turned the corner, it was another entrance to the cave. He sighed in relief, happy it was just another exit. He made his way back to Jotaro, he was still asleep. A thought appeared to Crazy, it was an obvious thought which he had yet to consider in a while. Why have I been able to run so fast recently? I know that I have never ran as fast as I have in those past two months. There is something strange about this world. Or for that matter, something is strange about the forest. I feel more energized by every day in the forest. Even though this energy I feel is still being given, it seems like its giving less and less.

Crazy heard wing beats outside. No way! It has barely been any time at all! How did they track me down so fast! The wing beats passed overhead. Ah, so they have not pinned down my exact location. Good. That buys me some time. He picked Jotaro up and walked down the cave to the second exit.

There were shadows on the second exit, looking suspiciously like a pony. Shit, I need to go back! He turned around to see the shadow of another pony waiting for him.

"Capture him." Said the shadow from the second exit.

"WHAT-" Crazy suddenly felt a force hit him in the neck. His vision blurred as he faded away into unconsciousness.
