History
When Sonic and the Chaotix Crew confronted Lord Sidewinder and his henchmen in battle, Lightmare used the Box of Nightmares to cast illusions of bug spray on Charmy, though Charmy was till able to continue fighting Lightmare.

Later on, Lightmare and her comrades launched a surprise attack on the Chaotix using the Box of Nightmares. However, Sonic remained unaffected, managing to knock out the box from Lightmare's hands and close the box, ending the Chaotix's nightmares.

Lightmare showed up later when Sonic and the Chaotix were attempting to deal with the Black Asteroid. Due to Sonic attacking her, she used the Box of Lightmares to cast a nightmare of blindness on Sonic and one of imprisonment on Mighty. When Lightmare attempted to make Espio forget his invisibility powers, however, he quickly snatched the box from her hands, whereupon Lightmare revealed that she had come to talk with them rather than fight.
