Author's Note:

Yay sixth chapter!

Short chapter. But there is a reason to that. I didn't want to make an huge chapter about what happens to Iggy and what happens to Lemmy. So that's it. Chapter 7 is way longer than this, to make up for this 'small chapter', so don't get angry please =P ( Since, I gave too much space to Iggy in these chapters, so why don't focus on Lemmy?

Disclaimer: I just own the plot and the OCs.

Alright, Let's-a-go!

Solution

Chapter 6: Dream

"Urgh.. man, my head..." Iggy groaned as he slowly came to. He struggled to sit up as he took in his surroundings.

"Where... where am I?" he wondered as he looked around aimlessly.

All he could see for miles and miles around was... white. Pure white as far as his eyes could see.

"Am…I dead? What happened back there?" Finally able to stand, he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes before placing them back on. He shrugged and figured the best thing to do was start walking... somewhere.

After what seemed like a long, long time, he could hear a strange voice in the background. It sounded like...

"Lemmy?" He started to run to where he thoughts he heard the strange sound. But it was no use. He didn't seem to be getting anywhere... wherever the 'any' where was supposed to be.

"Lemmy?! LEMMY!" he screamed as his legs gave out from exhaustion. He collapsed, sobbing in grief at the sound of what he believed to be his older brother in pain.

"I'm sorry, Lemmy... I failed... I can't save you, I can't save anyone! I really am useless.." he sobbed.

"Are you really sure, Ignatius?" a voice suddenly spoke. A girl's voice...?

"H-Huh? W-Who's there?" Iggy stuttered, wiping his cheeks and picking up his knife as fast as he could. He started to turn around, and he tried to look for the person that talked to him.

"Hey, what are you doing? I won't hurt you." That was definitely a girl, but what was a girl doing in the Forest of Mist?

"Who are you!? Where am I!?"

"Can't tell you yet!"

"Show yourself!" Iggy shouted angrily. He was annoyed to no end; who on earth was that voice?!

"I know who you are, and about your feats to help your brother."

"You don't know anything about me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure! Now who are you!?"

"Told ya I can't tell! But I'll be with you as you travel, 'kay?" she giggled.

"Who are you!? Did you bring me here?! What is going on?!" he demanded, gripping his knife tightly in his hands.

"No I didn't. You're still passed out in front of that freaky forest. I didn't do anything more, I promise."

Iggy slowly calmed down, lowering his knife. The girl speaking to him sighed and said, "I'm just trying to help you and your family, Ignatius. Got it?"

Iggy nodded. "I don't know if I'll be able to do this... I mean, what if I let Lemmy down? This is his last chance and if I mess this up-"

"You won't. Trust me, Ignatius. But I have one favor to ask."

"What?"

"Don't let the gem finish in the wrong hands. I know you are a good person. To be honest, I want that gem out of the world completely. While it can grant the wish of whoever possesses it, if it falls into the wrong hands..."

"Yeah, I get it. I just wanna help my brother. That's all."

Iggy hummed in thought before he remembered something. "Wait a second. What the heck is your name? You never told me."

"You can call me Aryal."

"A…Aryal? Ok. So can you tell me anything else? Like why you're in my head?"

"Nope. Told you before." Aryal reminded him. "I'll go now. Get some rest, and be prepared for later. You've gotten yourself into some adventure and you'll need all the sleep you can get, okay?"

"Yeah. Thanks, Aryal."

"Okay. Sweet dreams, Ignatius, and good luck."

Iggy felt himself drifting back into his body, so to speak, but he couldn't forget that strange conversation he just had.

'Who was she? She knew a lot about me, but I knew nothing about her… seems strange. And who else wants that Starpower Gem...?'

New character introduced. Who is this girl? Who knows! Just something you should think of, is that she is an OC, but I can't say more.
