RE-NIGHTMARE

Re-Nightmare was an old webcomic TWISTED-DOCTOR published in 2014-2015, when he was still going by the name "Sleepykinq". It was the original version of Mystery. Re-Nightmare was eventually canceled and deleted in August of 2017. TWISTED-DOCTOR has made it very clear that he doesn't want to talk about any topics of Re-Nightmare, due to very personal reasons that happened to him in the past with association of the webcomic/series itself.

## Plot

\*Renightmare has little to no plot considering its undone and most plot-lines were never explored outside of Skrill's mind, the comic bounces around a lot and there are missing pages, I'll fill the blanks with context clues the best I can.

### Re-nightmare the Comic

The comic starts with Mystery telling Alfred he's late for work. (Mystery may tell Alfred to conduct an experiment on something, page missing). Alfred asks what he should use as a test subject, Mystery tells him "a child". Alfred protests slightly, calling Mystery "crazy", saying he doesn't want to use a child. Mystery becomes angry and pulls out a knife, asking Al if he's "a rebel". Alfred says no.

"Meanwhile" The comic cuts to Jack (Jessy's dad) being thrown out of the bar, then to Jessy waking up at home, excited that it's her birthday. She runs downstairs to Jack coming home. She goes to tell her father but he shuts her up. She tries to tell him again and he punches(? stabs?) her eye out. She runs away crying asking why.

The comic then cuts to Shia walking in on Mystery torturing Alfred, he stands between them in defense but Mystery drives a knife straight through Shia, killing him. (This scene is later re-done in the Sunshine PMV). The comic cuts to Shai and Yuki asking where Shia is, Shai seeming angry that he's missing. Yuki worried. It cuts back to Shia dead. Alfred, now with no ears or tail but still two eyes. Alfred stands and charges at Mystery, winding his fist back to punch him but Mystery catches his fist and possesses him. Kao comes in, not knowing what's happening. Kao offers to help "Alfred", a small time skip happening, Alfred now having his robotic ears. He tells Kao he has to go do some work and to clean the mess (Shia's body) Kao's response to the scene is "..Ew..".

It then cuts back to Jessy, "in the evening" at her house. She looks across the street to Shai's house, climbing out of her window to visit. Jessy says "Finally! Nothing will hurt me anymore!". Possessed Alfred sees her and approaches from behind, injecting her with something to knock her out and kidnap her (page missing). Shai witnesses this and leaves to help her. It cuts to Jack coming home and grabbing his beer. The beer poofs into a cat character. Call him Beer Boy. Beer Boy blames Jack for Jessy's disappearance (i think). It cuts back to Jessy, now strapped down to a table. She wakes up, "Alfred" standing over her asking if she's ready. She manages to free an arm and goes to hit him but he pulls out an ax and chops off her arm. Shai approaches the building they're in, "Alfred" turning on a giant saw and cutting into Jessy's body. Shai comes in and sees it all. Mystery then unpossesses Alfred(unsure where he went, page missing possibly). Alfred, not remembering a thing, asks what just happened and who killed Jessy. Shai screamed at him, saying she hates him. He says he'll do something about it then takes her home. Once home Yuki asks where Shia is. Alfred, calmly, tells her he's dead. She kicks him out.

Alfred is left alone outside to cry and think, Kao approaches and offers to let him stay at his place. Alfred accepts, which causes Kao's nose to bleed in excitement, "Laterrrr" they're at Kao's house, the two going to bed. Kao lies in bed remembering all Alfred's done for him "Company..a job..love?". He then says how everything got bad when HE showed up, showing how Mystery was introduced into their lives. Mystery says he's their new boss, asking Al if his "best friend" missed him. Flashback ends. Kao says it'd only been two years since he's known him, since Al saved him, and he was now gonna save Al. Kao falls asleep

It switches to Jack in the bar, getting served by Oliver. He goes to hand him a beer but Mystery barges in dramatically. Mystery sits at the bar and orders the "fish". Oliver tells him there is no fish on the menu so Mystery bites into Oliver's arm and takes a (non bloody) chunk out. Oliver tries to shake him off, denying Jack his beer since he's "busy".

It cuts back to Kao's house, now morning. Kao wakes up to someone screaming "THIEF" downstairs. He runs to the room and sees Howaito beating Alfred with a book. Kao stops Ito's beating, introducing him as his brother, and introducing Al as his "boyfriend". Alfred is disgusted. Kao asks Ito if he'll beat up Mystery for him, Ito doesn't pay attention, reading. Kao gets upset, taking his book. This makes Ito angry and he throws Kao out of the window next to Al and the two go to work.

At work Mystery is still there. He says hello and Alfred's anger takes over him, he goes to attack Mystery but he pins him and holds a knife to his throat. Alfred tells him to do it but before he can Kao throws a magic spear/spike into Mystery. Mystery takes it out of himself and snaps it in half, clawing one of Kao's eyes and pinning him. (Problematic dialog is shared). Mystery is shot with a tranquilizer by Nya and Neko, passing out and being taken to a jail cell.

It then goes to a flashback, describing Mystery's past. Mystery and Alfred were best childhood friends. One day Mystery (kid name Jeremy) called Alfred to come help him, Mystery's dad Arthur coming to hurt him. Alfred goes to leave but his parents, Emily and Gerald, stop him from leaving, telling him to do his homework. Jeremy calls him again, now scarred and torn up. He asks Al why he wasn't there and Al tells him it was his parents. Jeremy says he hates them, Al says he hates them too sometimes. Jeremy says he has an idea and hangs up. It's the next day, Alfred comes home from school, upon opening the door he drops his books. His parents are dead. His mother's head is cut off and his father has a knife in him. Jeremy greets him happily, saying they can now be together forever. He says he can fix it and it'll be okay. (Page missing but either Alfred punches Jeremy, knocking him out, or he randomly faints.). Al runs away, hiding until night. His uncle Mike arriving to take him home. Jeremy wakes up, going home. The next day Jeremy comes back to Al's and finds a note, it reads: *"Dear Jeremy, please forgive me, I don't think I can stay here anymore. Please leave ME ALONE." - your best friend.* Jeremy cries, asking if it's a joke. He threatens suicide if Al doesn't stop the joke but nothing happens. He decides to live, decides he can fix everything. He prepares to leave to find Al but Arthur appears, ripping out Jeremy's eye and then burning him to death.

Jeremy wakes up in a dark void, catching a scythe as it falls at him. He meets Skull, the shinigami/reaper. He's there to take his soul but Jeremy takes his scythe, taking out his eye and putting it into his empty socket. He woke up from death, a pair of X's on both sides of his hands.

### Re-nightmare Animated series

The animated series picks up where the comic left off, Jeremy waking up and seeing the X's on his hands. Arthur grabs him, asking him what he's doing there, how he's alive. Jeremy shoves him away and it's implied he's either killed or knocked out (assume knocked out since he appears in images after the events). He then leaves to go find Al. On his journey it's implied Jeremy was abused by people around him, strangers he'd met while traveling.

There's a time skip and Jeremy is now a teenager. He's sleeping in a trashcan for shelter, but is kicked out by someone who was there first. This characters name is Rex. (Rex is no longer a character in any of Skrill's works. It is not his character). Rex is a small demon hedgehog dressed in scenecore style outfit. Jeremy tells him his name is Mystery. Rex takes Mystery to the fair to get some food. At one of the games we meet a goat with angel wings, it's not stated but this is Henry, Kao and Ito's father. Mystery shakes him until he gives Rex an undeserved prize. Which he does. Mystery leaves Rex, promising to come back but never does.

There's another time skip, Mystery in his 40s and waiting for people to pass him. This black cat-demon character walks past, his name is Vincent. Mystery asks him if he knows Alfred, showing him a picture. Vincent says he does and he's his boss, but denies Mystery's request to take him with. Mystery follows him, kills him, then takes his clothes. He comes in, greeting Al and hugging him. Saying how he missed him. Al shoves him away, yelling at him about how he ruined his life. He meets Kao, accusing Al of replacing him with Kao. Mystery uses his "demon powers" to squeeze Al till he pukes blood, to beg for his life. He does and Mystery lets him go, leaving. It shows Mystery crying alone, then saying he'll make Al suffer like he did.

Mystery then wakes up. In the cell at Nya and Neko's. complaining to be let out, but then going back to sleep. It cuts to Al at a funeral. (maybe Shia's but he still has his ears, so possibly Vincent's.)

### Plot-lines that were only told through animation memes and images

There are two plot-lines (that I can think of) that were implied multiple times but never showed up in the comic or animated series.

1. The torture and death of Glitch and Tenshi.
	1. Glitch and Tenshi were brother and sister. Mystery tortured Glitch and killed Tenshi in her sleep. Both were brought back to life and became angel-demons. Glitch sought revenge. OKAASAN, their first appearance, Halloween MAP part.
2. Mystery being in the asylum and his implied death.
	1. In the Losing My Mind meme Mystery is seen with shorter hair and in a straight jacket. He's also seen like this in the Ride MAP part. There's an image of mystery with this design seemingly drowning, unable to move from the straight jacket and chains. Drowning to his death.

## History

Re-Nightmare, formerly named Nightmare (Unbound Skies), was originally a sonic fan comic that revolved around Sleepykinq's (Tr4sh-kun) sonic oc named Jessy "Skrillcreeper" The Hedgebot (aka Jessy Edgebot), her ill and drunk father (Jack) and an outdated version of Alfred. Mystery and Kao are not present, but there were other characters, one being Splendorman. He seemed to help Jessy after she woke up from her 5 year coma (which Alfred's torture put her in). Jessy also meets the other Slenderman brothers, they give her a pair of glasses. The comic was 45 pages (plus 2 cover images and a "bad ending" page) until its deletion. There are pages not from Nightmare or Renightmare (that i can see). Of Jessy going home after being tortured and being given robot parts where she kills her father. The comic was deleted and was remade to "Re-Nightmare" as it was a remake to its original comic. It became a webcomic series on Deviantart, and maybe had around 143 pages. It was published in 2014-2015 and got discontinued in August of 2017.

The last comic pages were released in 2016, then the animated series came out in mid or late 2016. The animated series had over 8 episodes in a row, but due to it being criticized and often being viewed as 'the worst webcomic/series', TWISTED-DOCTOR proceeded to scrap the story and make a new story/game, in which he had stated in his unlisted video from the canceled series playlist, It wasn't called Re-Nightmare anymore (it was still named that in early 2018, but it got changed to Doll Eye further on). The animated series got privated on his YouTube (you can find re-uploads of it actually, here's an HD one with a few fast parts) , but the webcomic is somewhere on archive websites, Pinterest, Deviantart, and this drive(missing and out of order pages), etc. The webcomic did have its flaws, because the characters weren't introduced enough, and the script of this series came out kinda bad. The comic didn't look so well either, it was kinda made lazily and not put in enough effort. The animated series was alright, there were detailed backgrounds this time and some new characters appeared on there.

Even if the series was quite criticized, it did have a little fandom itself (2016-2019). Many people loved the series and made a lot of fanart/AU's made for the webcomic back in the day, though as of now, not much people are interested in this webcomic anymore, the hype from this fandom died out when it got scrapped and Doll Eye was slowly becoming a thing, others seemed uninterested/upset about Re-Nightmare getting canceled in this community, even when the characters' changed designs (in late 2017 and early 2018), others weren't shocked about this happening and were okay about it. Re-Nightmare still has some hype at some point to this day, with recent fanart on certain websites can still be found.

There's some animation memes and some PMV's for Re-Nightmare's story. It may not be much, but it's something at least. The videos you watch state that none of the events are no longer canon anymore (as stated under the description of the videos).

## Genre

The genre of Re-Nightmare is hard to explain. It is probably the comedic/dark humor type, and murder mystery included. There's some comedic/joke scenes in the webcomic and animated series sometimes. There only see some depressive and heart wrenching moments in Re-Nightmare that makes you feel bad for some characters who go through the worst stuff.

## Trivia

* Re-Nightmare was originally called 'NIGHTMARE'.
* Jessy's old middle name "skrillcreeper" was a reference to TWISTED-DOCTORS's old username.
* Re-Nightmare takes place in 2006
* Before it got canceled, TWISTED-DOCTOR wanted to make a storyboard for the series instead.
* Jessy was actually the main character, not Alfred.
* TWISTED-DOCTOR briefly elaborates his regret over the creation of RE-NIGHTMARE and the way he made it. He wanted to revise after the backlash he received for a while. Thus kickstarting the creation of the Doll Eye.
