So at the time I finished this chapter, I had this one dream like several days after where I was watching some Pride Trooper spinoff (I know right, that'd be a dope dream, wouldn't it). It was dubbed in English… and the Pride Troopers had Russian accents.

So, moral of that story is; the Pride Troopers need Russian accents in the English dub.

But for this story here… there's no morals to it, at least I can't find any so I'll leave that part to you all. Hehe.

Toppo's Dream

.₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪.

"You guys."
The leader of the Pride Troopers stepped into the room, the only people that were there were Kaseral, Kettol, Zoiray, Dyspo, Cocotte, and Vuon. Everyone else was at their own homes or on top of a volcano at the moment, don't ask.
Everyone was dressed leisurely, as in nobody had their suits on. Toppo came in with a regular pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt, he had just came out from a nap in his own designated room.

"What's up?" Vuon asked.

Toppo paused for a moment, for there were things going through his mind, before he shook his head. "I had the weirdest dream just now."

"Knew it." Kettol raised a finger. "I know that look."
"Really?" Dyspo looked at Toppo. "How weird?"
"It was... Unusual." Toppo now sat amongst his squad in the large circle lounging area. "It happened so quickly that when I woke up I was utterly confused, but it did involve all of us. We were fighting an enemy that none of us could beat and had to run, apparently."
"Why would we run?" Vuon frowned. "What'd it look like?"
"They were three giants, and I dunno..." Toppo shrugged. "It was strange, but here's how it went, I'll explain it as best as I can..."

A single star zoomed across the skies of Vascule, the blue tint of its tail contrasting with the light orange sky's hue. The other Pride Troopers were somewhere away from Toppo, Kaseral, and Jiren, who were standing together. Toppo and Kaseral were talking of course, and Jiren was busy giving his monologue to the two men whenever they weren't speaking...
We all know this man barely talks, ever. That was pure sarcasm.
Then suddenly, the trio felt the ground tremor slightly, before seeing a rogue blast flying several hundred feet above them. Dyspo came charging towards Toppo and grabbed him by the shoulders.
"What's wrong?!" Toppo looked at Dyspo, concerned.
"We can't take them down! There's no way we could stop those giant freaks, run!" The bunny shook Toppo before letting go and speeding off. "RUNNNN!"
"I'M OUT THIS, MAN!" The trio saw Zoiray zoom past in a whirlwind state, followed by Cocotte and Tupper. Vuon and Kettol ran past as well with Kettol looking at the dinosaur Trooper.
"Vuon… Vuon, you have to go on without me." Kettol was breathing heavily from running too much. "I can't go on any further... Save yourselves." He made this weird exhausted noise before collapsing to the ground.
"No! Kettol, GET UP!" Vuon pulled at Kettol's arm and the man on the ground was still breathing at a loss of stamina. Vuon pulled him just in time to push him away from the impeding foot of the giant that was now several dozens of meters away from Toppo and Kahseral. The second it hit the ground, the surface beneath Vuon and Kettol exploded, sending them flying elsewhere.
"VUON! KETTOL!" Kahseral looked to the direction of where they flew and then turned to the giant before them. This thing was at least an entire mile tall, they almost couldn't see past its shoulders. It was large and black, with gigantic hands and a biologically anomalous body. The thing made an egregious sound akin to laughter, making the trio raise their hands to throw a ki blast at it.
Weirdly enough, the threat posed to them didn't look that powerful, and even weirder was the fact that Jiren didn't immediately step forward to snack this thing out of their presence. Yes, snack is the term for this particular incident.
Toppo and Kahseral sent a blast towards the giant, and the thing legitimately flicked them away.
"JUSTICE..." Toppo got his fingers ready as he jumped up several dozen meters to enact his trademark attack. "FLASH!"
What happens next would piss off anybody who believes too hard in power logic….

The giant saw the myriad of blasts being sent its way, and he didn't even inhale or anything. All he did was blow the blasts away with his mouth, sending them back at the ground's surface behind the trio right after Toppo landed back on the ground.
Him and Kahseral stared up in shock. At this point, Jiren took a step forward, and jumped without any hesitation. He was so far up that the commander and the leader couldn't see him clearly, and Jiren raised a ki charged fist at the giant's chest. The giant held his punch against his palm, Jiren's fist didn't go any major damage to it at all. In fact, the giant swung his palm down, making Jiren swing his hand down before the giant raised two fingers...
...And flicked this motherfucker Jiren away like a fly.
Toppo looked up in absolute horror, seeing his absolute strongest friend fly backwards a hundred feet before he teleported himself right next to Kahseral, in which they both didn't notice immediately and it made them shriek a little for no reason. Out of the shadows, another giant approaches its friend and looked down at the three. The giant raised a palm upwards at sent a zapping blast towards them, and none of the three Troopers asked questions or anything.

The three friggin' booked it.

Toppo, Jiren, Kahseral; the Leader, the Alpha, and the Commander were being chased by mile long giants, with every step they make the ground would shake and make them hop a little bit in their sprinting. Randomly, there was a base of the Pride Troopers a few hundred feet away from them and Kahseral pointed to it whilst they ran towards it. Before they got a chance to enter through the doors, that zapping attack went to the troopers base and transformed it into an…

"EVIL VOTHBALL!" Toppo yelled before running away from the giant transformed base in fear, the other two following him.

[If you didn't get that drift, moles (I swear that's the animal Toppo is modeled after) reject mothballs. Mothballs are used as a mole repellent, just thought you'd know that]

They ran towards another particular building, and that one was zapped into a giant, menacingly noisy contraption that looked like a rotary razor. "RAZOR!"

"How the hell…" Kahseral scrunched up his nose as the rotary razor made a loud roaring zipping noise. At the moment, the three felt the ground shake beneath them, a low pitched sound came from its very surface. They slowly turned around to see the grassy patch of land on the other end of the street thud and stretch upward before breaking apart to reveal another giant emerging from the ground, revealing another giant that came out with thunderous, deep laughter.

You ever just noped your way out of something? Well that's basically what happened just now.

Toppo, Jiren and Kahseral turned right the fuck around and ran away from the giant razor, and the third giant that now joined the chase party. Do not ask why Toppo is somehow afraid of giant rotary razors.

The entire street was being bombarded with random blasts and zaps that the three had to dodge, jump from, and dash away from. One of the giants threw down a blast that looked akin to a horizontal psionic line, it hit the street in front of them and turned into a large barrier, blocking their path and forcing them to turn around and face the three giants sneering at them.
The leader and commander unconsciously backed up behind Jiren, who valiantly raised an open palm to combat whatever these giants had in store.
"You..." Jiren scowled, his arm started to flare and his palm had a small, near translucent ki ball that was accumulating with every second. The giants had a strategy for this, and it wasn't to block the impending attack at all.
The three leaned forward so that the Troopers could see their face, before throwing their heads back as if they were taking a deep breath. They came back down, making their heads smash together which made their heads fuse together; there was now one gross looking head with six eyes that were line up like a semi circle. Their noses were all over the damn place, like there was one on their cheek and another on their left temple, and their mouths fused into one giant ass mouth with two ears on each end of their lips.
You ever seen something so nasty that you had to pause for a moment to access how nasty it was? Jiren lowered his arm slightly, because the sight of this fusion was gross enough to make him blink slowly. "Toppo... This dream is weird."

The giant took a deep breath, and blew harshly at the direction of the trio. Jiren allowed his ki blast to fly forwards, but due to how hot that breath was the blast itself damn near evaporated but did enough justice to keep their noses from dying at the smell of its breath. What it didn't do was fully protect them from the force of the breath, so the three ended up flying backwards until they rolled against the street on top of each other.

Somehow, that one attack didn't kill Toppo and Kahseral but again, this is a dream, and nothing's making sense right now.

Unfortunately for Jiren, Toppo's big belly ass was on top of him and Kahseral's booted foot was against Toppo's cheek. The three giants approached and looked down at the trio, who pretty much looked like they in a advanced match of Twister right now. Without wasting any more time, the giant fusion puckered its dirty moss colored lips and bent down to uhh... What the heck was it gonna do?
Hopefully it wasn't gonna kiss them, god that notion made them sick to their stomach.
"I'M A MARRIED MAN, STOP!" Kahseral yelled while shielding his eyes and face from the impending. Apparently, that's what it was going to do. Umm...
"GET AWAY FROM US!" Toppo rolled off of Jiren's poor back; he was used to carrying the team anyway. His back must hurt all the damn time.
And it looked like he needed to do so again. Jiren wrapped his arm around Toppo's shoulders and Kahseral by his waist and he flew upwards, swerving before the giants tried any bullshit on them. He quickly blasted away from the area, and the giants chased Jiren while laughing loudly.
Kahseral and Toppo didn't even realize they were airborne until they moved their hands from their eyes. Jiren was carrying the both of them out of harm's way, and Toppo looked back to see that they weren't taking long to catch up to the flying Grey. They chased them with a hand of... What the heck are they even holding? It looked like a pole with a ball attached to it, where the heck did they get that from?
They swung it, and since they weren't that far from them Jiren had to swerve and dodge the weird thing while flying, apparently their swinging was much faster than they all anticipated, there were several instances where it would graze against Toppo's leg and he's feel the immense heat of the pole-ball thingy ghosting against his calve. They, made contact after what seemed like a minutes of flying; it hit Jiren's backside, making him flip while in midair. The ball was so hot, it singed half of Toppo's beard off and burned off a portion of Kahseral's pants, and it legitimately made Jiren say "Ow."
D-did Jiren really get hurt by a giant hot ass ball? Again, do not ask.
As quick as he was hit, for some reason he started to twitch like an airplane that was losing gas in mid flight. He did that a few times before they stopped accelerating and no longer were picking up speed to actually fly. Toppo looked down at the distance between them and the ground. "Shit."
The trio went tumbling down to a portion of the land that was all dirt, their bodies were scattered and picking up dirt piles as they rolled into the ground. Three dismantled-hair heads (well, I mean... Jiren's bald, and Kahseral's clean shaven, so make that one) popped out of the ground, and Kahseral had a dizzy look on his face.

The three looked back to see the three giants before them, and Toppo turned back around. They had brutally landed right before a small open window, in which the leader took both his friends and shoved them right into it, rendering the two stuck to one another. Toppo crouched, as if he was about to jump up and land… somewhere.

Jiren gave him a careful look. "Toppo… What are you doing?"

"Toppo." Kahseral looked at the leader, and he and Jiren started trying to wiggle their way out of this situation because big ass Toppo was about to shove them into this house in the worst way possible. "STOP IT!"

The leader continued to run forward. Imagine seeing some giant, built yet fat mole running towards you with a white mustache in red and black spandex… How would you feel?Toppo leaped forward, and Kahseral yelled in horror while Jiren looked up at his friend with a high amount concern, the impending belly slam getting terrifyingly closer to their faces...

"And umm… that's the story of my dream. There." Toppo scratched the back of his head while everyone else was just dead silent, there was no noise in the room. The Pride Troopers didn't move, even the drink Vuon was holding was just before his mouth while he stared at the leader in mild concern. Dyspo shared the same concerned look too, everything in his purple face said What the fuck, man?

If you walked into the room right now, it would look like everyone was doing the mannequin challenge. This went on for several seconds, before Cocotte broke the silence with a question we all had in our heads after reading this…

"What kind of dream is that?"

"What thoughts were you having before you slept?" Zoiray blinked at Toppo, and the leader shrugged.

"I dunno, I was thinking about going to sleep, that's about it." He seriously didn't know where this came from. "It's a dream, I reckon it wouldn't make sense."

"I'm just… I'm so shocked, I don't think I could ever dream of Jiren being flicked away." Vuon shook his head, placing his drink down. There was so much wrong with the dream. "And why does dream Jiren know that this is a dream?!"

Toppo shrugged dramatically. "I don't know!"

"Hold on..." Kettol raised an objective finger at Toppo. "Why do I have shit cardio in this dream?"

"Because you have shit cardio in real life."

Kettol shot a look at the tiny blue Pride Trooper and his rebuttal. "Shut up Zoiray, no one asked you."
"It's true
, thought."

"You say one more word about that and I will-"

"Whaddya gon' do?" Zoiray raises his arms by his sides, leaning forward with narrowed eyes. "Chase me?"

"You two can stop bullying one another now." Vuon raised a hand at Kettol and Zoiray before a windfest marathon would happen again. Trust me, that's a thing in this universe. "Toppo, have a seat."

"Yeah man, have a seat." Dyspo gestured to the empty seat beside him. Normally, they would say 'Come sit with us' or something less formal, but they only did this when they were concerned with someone. Cocotte left to get a glass of water and as Toppo sat, she handed him the glass like he was parched or some shit.

"You guys, there's nothing wrong with me. Geez." He raises both hands in reassurance, but Vuon tilted his head.

"Mmm I dunno, usually crazy dreams like that indicate that you haven't drank enough water the day before."

"I can assure you, I drank more than enough of the daily dose." Toppo looked at Vuon. He did smile under his beard, Vuon was being humorous again.

"I just love the randomness of it." Kettol shook his head. "You came in as if this dream wasn't as weird as it turned out to be, and apparently we're running away, three giants fuse and try to kiss you, Jiren and Kahseral, and uhh… are you afraid of razors or something?"

"No." Toppo answered that way too quickly, while subconsciously touching his own beard and Kettol furrowed his brows with a smirk. "No seriously, I'm not."

"Then why would a giant rotary razor scare you?"

"Because the dream made no sense." Toppo shook his head, and started to chuckle. "Even Jiren was afraid of it."

"He has no hair." Zoiray said. "What can he possibly shave?"

"His-" Vuon was about to say something dirty and funny, but he thought back on behalf of it and decided not to gross himself out. "His chest hair."

"You nasty fuck." Cocotte started laughing. "Don't act like we don't know what you were about to say!"

"I was totally gonna say chest hair!" Vuon couldn't help the stupid smile growing on his face though.

"Bull-shit." Zoiray sounded out the word all extra-like because he is extra.

"What were you all doing here anyway?" Toppo gestured to the crew of playful adults, and they looked at him and then looked at the table in which there was a board game with pieces laid out since they had started already. It's called SnatchHouse, it's like a combination of Monopoly and CandyLand except everyone gets to keep their friendships and families intact because it's not that serious.

If it was Numbers, which is similar to Uno, that is a different story.

"Oh." Toppo blinked. "You all already started?"

"We begin shortly before you came with that epic tail of voyáge." Dyspo said, Toppo gave him a look. "You can join in though."

"Okay, cool…" Toppo smiled. He leaned forward while everyone rounded everything up to be distributed again. A random cringe hit him when he thought back to that weird giant fusion thing by accident, he muttered to himself. "I need something to…Take my mind off of seeing that."

Somewhere far, far away within Universe 11, Jiren was busy doing what he does best; meditating. The Grey was perched on top of a mountain cliff, right in view of the sun and with the wind blowing gently against his face. He centered his energy around everywhere, there was no need for a focus point because he was immersed in his own void, a place of ultimate and undeniable peace… And then this random image of some giant head with six large eyes, moss green ear lips, mismatch noses, and thick hair follicles popped up in his mind.

Jiren opened his eyes and looked from his left, to his right, and then forward with a weird glare on his face before silently cringing at that random ass incursion.

Just to reiterate: WHY DOES THE JIREN IN TOPPO'S DREAM KNOW THAT THIS SHIT IS A DREAM? AND WHY THE HECK DID HE GET THAT IMAGE IN HIS HEAD IF HE WASN'T DREAMING ABOUT IT EITHER? THE FUCK?!

This further solidifies that there could only be one Jiren.

What do you guys think is the reason for Toppo to be scared of a razor? Lol this was fun to write.
