[Robert] [hider=dream sequence] [i]What am I doing here?[/i] I ask myself as I make my dream self look all around the landscape. There was some sort of strange, greyish, flying snake thing looking down on me... something told me that it was mad, VERY MAD. The creature reminded me of pokemon, yet, it looked much larger than I thought it would be, and the area itself? It was Issac Newton's worst fever dream, that is, if his dream happened to include an M.C. Escher painting... well, a painting that had a limited pallet of purple, grey, and black... heck, a look at myself in this dream revealed that even I wasn't immune to the effects of this odd land, as for some odd reason, my entire body was grey, and it wasn't the body I knew, no, not my current dragon body, and certainly not my old human body. [i]What the heck is going on here!?[/i] I ask myself in my dream as my dream self decides to speak "You claim to be helping others like me, but, at what cost? I won't allow the others to lose their world just so 'my' race can live on!" These weren't exactly my words, but they were spoken through what could be considered 'me'... at least, in the dream. The creature laughs, and then disappears into the shadows, almost instantly. I had no clue how the other me thought he was going to defeat this thing, but, a moment later, the thing came and struck my dream self hard. Thankfully, I couldn't feel pain, with this being a dream, however, I could tell simply due to the fact that my dream self was launched forwards some distance. From that, you'd expect the other me to be knocked out, as apparently HE felt the pain, yet, he just got back up, and even had enough energy to deliver what was probably the most overused one-liner in history "Is that the best you've got?" Well, I knew I couldn't vouch for this guy's intelligence, given that he just taunted a monster that's more than twenty times his size, and had the power to instantly teleport and then attack using another teleport... of course, this prompted my dream self to materialize some sort of grey vine, and, I'm not even kidding, run up to the creature which looks as though it has the power to instantly destroy him, and bash him on the head with it. Oddly enough, that seemed to damage the beast, almost more than the shadowy, teleporting move hurt my dream self. I guess my dream self wasn't too in over his head with this fight, then. The creature then slashes at the other me, and almost instantly he seems to counter with that vine thing again, this time not doing any damage, but actually cancelling out the creature's attack. The battle went on for a while, with my dream self slowly gaining ground against the creature, and eating some sort of either small fruit, or large berry... it looked kind of like an orange, but blue... anyways, he ate that whenever the battle seemed to be too much for him, and, soon enough, the creature was defeated... much to my surprise. Just when I thought my dream self was out of danger, some sinister laughter could be heard just beyond the edge of the chunk of land that this fight took place on... odd... though, the dream just sort of ended right there, with the sinister laughter. [/hider] I woke up and thankfully didn't scream or shout. The day was bright, which made it seem as though the dust from yesterday settled, and some of the light woke me up as per my usual daily routine... though, I did take a quick look at myself, revealing that, yes, I was still a dragon. The dragon part wasn't a dream, but obviously, the weird snake thing was. I yawned, stretched, and got out of my bed, and take a shower before putting on some clean clothes, and heading downstairs, with the only difference being that my clothes now had holes in them from that first day, when I modified them to fit better. Of course, the differences between today and a couple days ago started to become more apparent when my stairs creaked and cracked apparently no longer really able to support my weight, which, I suppose I could understand given that there were giant holes all over the wood. Yeah, sure, I was actually lighter like this, but the stairs were much weaker from some unknown attack on them. I end up breaking one of the stairs and decide to just sort of fly down, where I saw Miles basically melted onto the hardwood floor that covers the downstairs portion of my house, and Elena still fast asleep in her sleeping bag. I didn't really want to wake either of them up, yet, as it still seemed early... of course, I had no idea what time it was, given that all of my electronics kinda stopped working, recently, but, I just had a hunch that it was still very early in the day. --- [Tony] I woke up after a dreamless sleep, and take a quick look around, mainly making sure that everything actually happened, and if it did (and it did) to also make sure that Michelle was still in her jail cell. I quietly make my way past Val and her canine helpers to find that she was still there, and asleep. I notice a weird rock formation that wasn't there last night, and just assume that it's Connor, who, I'm guessing is still asleep... which I suppose means that rock monsters actually require sleep. Ralph and Deravan weren't too far away, but I suppose that was to be expected, given that we haven't actually done anything with the base yet, well, save for the support beams that we made. It was weird, but, unlike that other time I fell asleep on a rocky floor, I didn't really feel as though someone hit me on the back with a hammer several times when I woke up... heck, I felt as though I just got out of a soft, feathery bed, somehow. Maybe that had something to do with the fact that I'm no longer human, or maybe the fact that I can control rocks, somehow... I guess my answer will come as soon as one of the others wakes up, but I didn't really feel like making someone wake up because every one of my teammates has some sort of advantage against me, and I didn't really want to be drowned, burned alive, or crushed today. I secretly take over for Val by making sure that I keep a good eye on Michelle, who, again, was asleep... okay, fine, I just sort of sat there, waiting for someone else to wake up so I could do something.
