Chapter 4-Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This Jason's dream was paradise. It was a dojo, extending into infinity. Oddly enough, it was a shared dream of Tommy and Zach, but they overlapped. The three of them could spar or train alone. They also could dodge projectiles a la bullet time similar to the Matrix films. Bending the laws of physics was quite entertaining, not to mention fun and incredible. Kimberly's dream, shared with Trini, Katherine, Aisha and Tanya, was the Oneiros Mall, a huge shopping mall with 900+ stores and 10 anchor tenants. It was a shopper's paradise. In one store, Kimberly spotted the robot duchess Drossel von Flugel buying a new outfit. The brunette teen chuckled to herself, remembering how Pepper mentioned an online clothing store specifically for humanoid automatons. Somni was off catching Pokemon in a field, all dream-initatiors themselves like Jigglypuff, Hypno, Snorlax and cute ones such as Whimsicott and Rowlette. Beta was joining her, but he fixed his gaze on fire and grass types. They were off together, laughing and having a blast. Pepper was contemplating the stars, mapping out the constellations. ASIMO joined her, narrating the tales of Greek myths that surrounded them. Soon, she found herself and ASIMO blanketed in fairy dust, just like the tale of Peter Pan. She had many happy thoughts, similar to the book. Before long she was floating and flying, soaring amongst the stars and even playing with them. ASIMO soon joined her, actually laughing right along with her. Billy had a laboratory all his own. Everything was immaculate, but there was a dream shard located there that he had no clue as to it's ability and potency. It was just such a shard that Dr. Nightshade could impliment to tap into everyone's dreams and lock everyone into their dreamworld permanently if need be. His energy reserves would be replenished until the humans died out completely. Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull savored their arcade-topia. Things were a little strange though. Nothing they played worked. 'What kind of a gyp is this ?', Bulk complianed. 'No, look, I think that air hockey table's functional !', Skull said, with an air of optimism. Their dream began to warp and shift, making them both feel woozy. 'Come on, we have to get out of here.', Bulk said, trying not to vomit as they exited. They followed a light to another realm where they found Billie levitating a few feet off the ground. A man, whom they recognized to be Angel Grove High's guidance councelor, was draining Billy of energy. 'That's quite enough ! Drop him !', they said, one right after another. 'Or what ? He's touched the dream shard and learned of its importance. One step closer to it and I'll have all I ever needed, wanted and even more. I'll become a GOD.', Nightshade cackled. His screeching laugh made their blood curdle. Seeing their friend so helpless like that made them insensed. The two of them hated to fight and had sensed that this was no mere mortal creature. They were going to require assistance and the sooner the better, for the battle to come was going to be ugly.
