Chapter 10

Jan struggled to awaken from this nightmare. It was not natural, not the way the stench me zowazowa tainted every corner and every gap of his dream.

Gaps. Lots of them. Zowazowa pouring out of them. And a whole ocean of red threatening to overflow out from behind the army.

Gaps. Created by the stiff white material they called bones, which surrounded him in a hoard of unfamiliarity.

And somewhere in that mess of white and red bones, red and yellow zowazowa, and the stink of the unnatural, was his comrades.

He needed to find them, and then everything will be harehare, and they will wipe out all the zowazowa and escape from here.

"That's if you can overcome the world of Nightmares, boy. It's MY world." Jan spun around towards the source of the voice following the scent of the strongest zowazowa in the place.

Somewhere along he had crossed into another world, through a curtain he did not even feel so much as brush pass him. The only thing that told him anything was the sudden change in landscape- the skeletons were gone, and with them his friends, replaced by men in black skin-tight suits with a skeleton motif printed on them.

There was a single figure that stood out- well, more than stood out, for if practically jumped out at Jan, grabbing him, a beacon in the gray atmosphere in his red uniform, before two of those suited men enclosed on the tiger boy.

"Are you ok, boy?" The skull looked down at the tiger asking.

Jan shouted. His geki flared and roared, blowing the area around him clean.

The tiger looked at his savior, who remained untouched by his geki. This meant the man was not part of the wave of zowazowa.

The area was suddenly silent as Jan found himself in a seemingly empty city. A city very much like the one he'd been staying in for one stellar cycle, with his friends. The skulls, the ribs were gone, yes, but he was faced with the biggest skeleton ever.

All at once screaming filled his ears, followed by civilians running past him. Instinct spurred him to run in the opposite direction of the flow, to see two stripped figures, in pink and blue respectively, fighting the skeleton like ants fought pandas.

"Tagire! Power of the Beast! Beast on!" Jan almost smiled at the one familiar thing since the start of this nightmare. He did not care that the two other figures were staring at him weirdly as he unleashed his Kageki and summoned GekiGorilla.

"Tsukasa, I thought it was unfair when I wasn't given a bike, but this is just downright mistreatment of us," the guy in blue complained to his companion in pink.

"They don't have bikes, Daiki. That's why we're riders and we get to keep that title," the pink rider pat his friend's head.

Jan wasted no time in wasting the giant monster with a lesser version of GekiFire's Gan Gan Knucke Drop. He only managed to hear the explosion of the great skeleton before he, inside his GekiGorilla, found himself in space. Faced with a large ship bigger than even the SaiDain, than even the biggest dekadeka no zowazowa he's ever seen.

On a giant stick sticking out from the middle of the ship flew what Ran had called a flag, and on the flag was a skull with a hat, and a pair of crossbones.

"Guide them well, I implore you," Neko's voice resounded in his mind, in the small confined space of his GekiGorilla.

Just like that, the whole scene disappeared into darkness- all stars, the ship, his GekiGorilla, everything.

And he heard it.

"Jan! Wake up! I got your favorite menchikatsu!"
