Author's Note: Alright, this is the second of two prequels to "A Feudel Dream", in case anybody has peeked at/read that first. I don't own the existing character, but the "combo-plater" character that the fictional version of me is able to transform into is my own creation. Enjoy the story!
Dream Quest: Glory Of The Hunt
Three weeks after their latest and greatest adventure in the perilous Outworld, the Masters decided that they needed some down time. After all, since they've been around crime rates have dropped by more than sixty percent; so they figured that Pennsylvania's finest could handle it on their own for a while. After taking a vote between the six of them, they all decided to take all their loved ones on a beach vacation! The bags were all packed and they were on their way! They got to the beach and immediately began to have fun. Setting up camp, cooking on the grill, doing volleyball, and all sorts of other things. In the middle of their three weeks of fun, however, they saw an all too familiar face appear on the ocean waters!
It seems that the Good Lord had another mission for them; right when they were getting used to not having to worry too! With this, the six men got out of the water and headed back to the campsite, leaving their loved ones behind to ponder what God wanted. Once they reached the campsite, God started to speak. God:"As you boys know, life doesn't always go your way. That appears to be the case in Other World." Shane:"Where in Other World?" God:"I think the more proper question is `when.' A series of events have occurred in Other World in the fairly distant 2065. As much as all of you would like to go, I'm afraid that Matt must go alone!" They all shouted in unison, "Why?" God opened up a rift in time and space. God:"Because an ancient legend of the area states that `Only he who can vanquish the dead can save the world from total damnation'. Matt is the only one among who that can kill the undead." With that, He disappeared, leaving the portal in his wake. After a quick change of clothes, Matt leaps through the portal without hesitation!
When Matt emerged from the Time & Space portal, he was in Other World, 2065. He appeared in a practically abandoned city; piles upon piles of rubble were everywhere. Matt saw nothing immediately wrong, other than the darkness of the night, with the exception of a huge rioting crowd up ahead a few blocks. The Power-Sensing Ability within Matt picked up several hundred evil presences, but Matt can't see anything around him! Then, the rioting crowd sees Matt and starts to come toward him in a menacing manner! That's just when the cavalry arrived! The Hunters run up and begin to hack up the crowd with midevil weapons! Right about then, Matt realizes that his mortal eyes can't see the truth of the situation. Knowing this, he changes his eyes into those of Brawn for a few seconds. By doing this, a whole new world opens up! The rioters are actually the walking dead; large stone gargoyle statues possessed by ghosts lumber toward the Hunters; and tiny spider-like time bombs crawl toward them, threatening to blow them to smithereens! At this vision, Matt comes to grips at why God didn't want the others to come along on the mission:only Brawn can see the fiends for what they truly are!
So, Matt transforms into this Nintendo form and quickly flies to a rooftop. Matt decided to play it safe and not reveal himself to the Hunters just yet; Brawn's demonic appearance would probably frighten them, causing them to see him as a threat. Matt does, however, help from the shadows. He fires Fortress Beams at incoming zombies, then disappearing without a trace. After a while, the Hunters see a pattern and figure that another "imbued" is helping them on their quest.
