Bridges, and giant swords and now a bright light that snaked around him...they had figured it out.
The creature snarled as it tugged at the beams of light that tried to bind it, he pulled hard but it had fastened him in place. How dare they? This world was his and his alone! The dream eater lurched forward, but once again the bindings of light pulled it back. Its paper-white face contorted into an expression of hate. "I will snuff out your hope and make you wish you had never been born." They had figured it out and Dr. Dream wasn't happy at all. "What you can create, I can also destroy!" There was the sound of cracking bones and the creature once again stood at its full height. It snapped one of its fingers, burning one of Dylan's bridges down, but for every bridge he would destroy, another one would appear out of nowhere to take its place.
No! Nonono! His plan had been foolproof, he had toiled over his machines and wires for years and he wouldn't allow his experiment to fail because of a few pesky and pathetic guilders. "THIS WORLD IS MINE!"
"Apparently, it's our world too." Lucien grinned at the outraged demon then gave Amy a thumbs up. "You look a little tied up at the moment." The summoner gave the dream eater a Cheshire cat grin. Just moments ago, he thought the thing would crush them and use their guts as jam, but now, they were on solid ground. And Don, Estelle, and Moira were dressed up and ready to fight.
Xan gaped, a dream of course... Don was a genius! Things were finally working out in their favor and it was such a massive relief.
"Hey, hey," the summoner elbowed her in the ribs. "Do you want to see something cool?"
A smile lit up her own face. "Sure Lucien, make it a show."
"You betcha!" The summoner was grinning like a kid on Christmas morning. "Abracadabra!" There was a blue-green puff of smoke and suddenly a giant cat with a toothy grin appeared on one of Dylan's bridges. The feline gave everyone a ridiculously wide smile before a ball of yarn fell on the dream eater's head and nabbed the cat's attention.
"Hey Dylan," Lucien was trying hard not to laugh. The summoner slammed his fist into his open palm and blurted out another idea. "You should put the dream eater in a dress."
Atlas could only facepalm in reply, but despite Lucien's rather random suggestion a smirk made its way onto the Magician's face. "They're right, it's not your world anymore and you're severely outnumbered," He began cracking his knuckles.
Syed launched a powerful attack in the dream eater's direction and Moira leaped towards their foe. The creature, still bound by the beams of light could only take the punishment that was dished at it. The cat clawed deep into its skin and lightning seared throughout its body.
It hurt...
The creature's eyes shot open before the sound of breaking glass echoed throughout the place. It sent those who were near it flying and the beams of light that had bound it in place disappeared. "You'll pay for this, you'll all pay!" It began charging towards them.
"Just keep imagining," it was Atlas and he was smiling, "You guys sure are something." If they kept hammering the dream eater with their own imaginations, if they kept warping his twisted reality into something they wanted then they would sure as hell stand a chance!
