I was dreaming about Trinity, and what we were doing, when everything tilted sideways. As I fell, I looked down. All I saw was blackness. I felt like I was slowing down. As I touched the ground, a bunch of fish swam out of the way. I looked again at the floor, and it was me. I was surrounded by my family. Then I heard a voice.
'There is so much to do, so little time…Take your time. Don't be afraid.'
I was sort of scared at this point. I mean, a 19 year old man standing on blue picture of myself and my family. 'What is this trickery? Is this real?'
'It is very real Adrian Michael Jacobs. Or is it Captain Red Blade? The door is still shut. Are you willing to open it to go to new places?'
'New places? This is so weird, like I've seen this before, but where?' I decided to walk forward. I was in the middle now, and three pedestals rose from the ground. The weapons were a sword, a shield, and a wand?
'Power slumbers in you. If you give it form…It will give you strength. Choose well.'
I walked up to the shield first. And the same unknown voice told me, 'The power of the Guardian; Kindness to aid friends; a shield to repel all. Is this the power you seek?'
I put it back because I knew I could protect my family. I walked up to the staff next.
The same unknown voice spoke again. 'The power of the Mystic; Inner strength; a staff of wonder and ruin. Is this the power you seek?'
I put it back because I knew alchemy. It is a type of magic after all. I then walked up to the sword.
'The power of the Warrior; Invincible courage; a sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?'
I thought about it. I knew how to wield it since I created my own. Wherever I went, ships were destroyed, crews dead at my feet, and my family was safe. 'Yes, this is the power I seek.'
'Your path is set. What will you give up in exchange?'
I walked straight to the staff without thinking.
'The power of the Mystic; Inner strength; a staff of wonder and ruin. Do you give up this power?'
'I give up this power,' I thought.
'You have chosen the power of the Warrior. You have given up the power of the Mystic. Is this the form you choose?'
'I choose this form,' I thought/spoke. No sooner did I think that, the pedestals tilted sideways and the picture started to crumble. I fell again. I fell for a little while, until I saw a pure white and crystalline picture. This time it was me, but surrounded by people, if they could be called that. There were ten of them, and surrounding them were wolves. I stared at them, and my picture.
We all looked like angels, we were so beautiful. 'My 'adoptive' parents Carlisle and Esme; my bear of a brother Emmett; our local blonde sister Rosalie; our little pixie Alice; our fighter Jasper; my beautiful daughter Bree; our lion Edward; my new sister Bella; my little niece Renesmee. All of them were my big happy family.'
Then one of my blades popped into my hand. It was Sure Shot.
'You have been given the power to fight. Use this power to protect yourself and ones you have come to call family.'
What I saw next scared the hell out of me. It was a small dark shape coming out of the ground. 'No, this cannot be! THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE!' I knew what it was, because I've played the game so many times. I continued to stare as more appeared.
'There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong.'
I took a swipe at the nearest one, and it disappeared. Then its friends followed suite.
'Behind you!'
I slashed at the one that snuck up behind me, while I was watching and waiting for more to appear. As soon as more appeared, I slashed, stabbed, and sliced until they were all gone. I looked and there was one more. But as I continued watching, it disappeared into the floor. I watched as the pool of Darkness grew bigger, consuming the pillar I was standing on. I was standing in it, and it started to envelope me. As I was being consumed, I started to struggle. I continued to flail around until I noticed I was on another pillar and the Darkness was gone. This one was blood red. It had a picture of me again with red eyes. This time I had fangs like I did now, but blood was dripping from my mouth.
I saw three other people surrounding me this time. 'That's my father, Alucard,' I thought to myself. 'There's my mother Seras. That's my grandma Integra, and my uncle Walter!' I stopped and thought, 'How do I know these people?' Surrounding them were guns, swords, and crosses. I looked up, and there was a transparent door in front of me. I walked up to it, and tried to grab the handle. My hand phased through it. 'Well, I can't open it just yet.' I looked behind me, and there was a treasure chest. I opened it, and inside was a green liquid. I pocketed it, and a giant crate appeared.
I destroyed the crate and part of the door became solid. I looked around again, and there was a barrel. I concentrated on it, picked it up and threw it. It weighed next to nothing. Before it touched the floor, it disappeared. I looked at the door again, and it was solid. I walked up to it and before I touched it, it opened by itself. I was engulfed by a bright white light.
