Chapter 18: Fear and Loathing in the Dream Realm
In the dark reaches of space, a long and slick light blue and white cruiser made its way through, the engines on both sides of the ships. In the bridge of the ship the captain sat in his command chair. He was a humanoid duck with black feathers, a orange bill, was wearing a light blue jumpsuit with gloves, and boots made perfectly for his webbed feet. He had his laser pistol in it's holster attached to his belt that had a double D belt buckle. He was captain of this fine vessel, he was a man of bravery courage, and justice. And his name was...
"Hey Daffy!" yelled a humanoid pig in a purple jumpsuit that covered his head and had a antenna on top of it. "We're out of m-m-m-m-u- mustard." the pig stammered. Daffy eyed him annoyed.
"Porky? How many time have I told you not to call me that? When we're out here Im DUCK DODGERS! THE SOON TO BE SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE!" he declared proudly. Porky simply rolled his eyes. "And your name is the Cadet."
"Of course Captain Dodgers." Cadet said. "But could you please tell me again why we stole this prototype cruiser and are chasing after Bugs?"
"Now Cadet we didn't steal it, we borrowed it without asking." Dodgers explained. "And why are we following that no good rabbit?" he asked as his voice began to rise with anger. "Because that big shot rabbit thinks just because the sacred Keyblade chose him he gets to be the one who saves the universe! If anyone is going to be famous, popular, and get the merchandising rights it's gonna be me!"
"And you don't honestly believe he left to save the universe so we can live happily and peacefully?" the Cadet asked annoyed at his captain's greed and jealously.
"No! Of course not! That rabbit is out to outdo me." Dodgers explained. "That's why we need to stop the Heartless before Bugs does. That way we'll be the heros."
"You're inspiration to us all captain." Cadet stated sarcastically.
"I know." Dodgers said smugly, not even noticing the sarcasm in his voice. "Now then Cadet, activate that one thiny that make the ship go really fast." Dodgers ordered spinning his finger.
"Do you mean the 'Hyperdrive' captain?" Cadet asked.
"Yeah! That's it! Activate the hyperdrive cadet!" Dodgers ordered. Cadet rolled his eyes and pressed a few buttons on his control panel.
"Hyperdrive will activate in approximately five minutes." Cadet stated.
"Way too long. Lets punch it." Dodgers moved over and was about to pull the hyperdrive switch.
"No! We don't have our coordinates punched in yet!" Porky screamed.
"Say what?" Dodgers asked as he pulled the hyperdrive lever. They both screamed as they blasted off into the unkown.
Dream Realm
Ryo and Stitch looked in awe of the amazing world in front of them. The Dream Realm had a bright blue sky with several chunks of land floating in it. Some chunks had pink tree, others had oddly shaped houses, and others had all sorts of odd things. In the sky were all sorts of things floating around: giant pencils, flying pigs, almost anything you could imagine. "Wow!" Ryo said excitedly. "This place is amazing!" Stitch happily agreed.
"It's not that great." Lance replied bluntly. Ryo and Stitch looked at him with gaping mouths.
"Lance. We're in a world of dreams! This place is amazing! Astounding! How could you act like this place is nothing special?" Ryo asked the man.
"Kid, I've been doing recon here for so long it isn't funny." Lance replied. Ryo eyed one chunk of land that had nothing but a massive black door covered in chains and boards. On the top of it was a skull with gleaming red eyes. "Wondering about that place eh?" Lance asked the Dream Warrior. "That's the gate to the Nightmare Realm. That's where Lord Fear and his cronies reside. Thankfully we don't have to go there...yet. That over there kid is where we need to go." Lance pointed to the biggest chunk of land in the area. On it was a beautiful and massive white tower that rose higher and higher into the sky. "That is the dream citadel. Inside are doors to the dreams of every person in the universe." Lance, Ryo, and Stitch walked up some stain glass stairs and entered the massive citadel. In front of them were thousands of doors with going up and up with ramps for stairs.
"Well at least they mad It handicap accessible." Stitch said.
"Okay, lets find your friend's dreams." Lance said.
"Are you nuts? Look at all these doors! That could take forever!" Ryo exclaimed.
"Could. Won't." Lance replied. Suddenly Lance's dream stone began to glow and they began to move up the circular ramps at a fast speed. Ryo and Stitch screamed until they came to a stop at a door that read. Yuffie Kisaragi. "Here's a start." Yuffie's door had a black aurora around it. "Note darkness around her door. That means she's having a nightmare."
"Lets go." Ryo said opening the door. They were blinded by a bright light. Suddenly they were in front of the Heartless infested citadel. They saw a panicked Yuffie run to them crying. "Yuffie? What's wrong?" suddenly hundreds of Heartless were charging at them, many of them seem familiar.
"Heartless! Heartless!" She screamed. The Heartless began to close in. "Everyone is a Heartless!"
"Yuffie! Get a hold of yourself!" Ryo said shaking her.
"Come on...Yuffie was it? It's just a dream!" Lance said summoning his keyblade.
"A...dream?" Yuffie asked. The Heartless were getting closer.
"Come on! Aren't you the great ninja Yuffie?" Ryo asked trying to boost her courage. Yuffie's eyes light up with fire and she pulled out her giant shuriken.
"Yeah! I am the great ninja Yuffie!" Yuffie spun around and threw her shuriken at the Heartless Leon, chopping it's head. "Hoo-yeah baby Im back!" Yuffie continued to hack at the Heartless. Lance was slicing several with each slice from his large keyblade. Ryo and Stitch hacked their way through the Heartless only to be confronted by a Heartless Aerith.
"Dang. Even when Aerith's a Heartless, she's still pretty." Ryo stated blushing. Heartless Aerith charged at them only to be destroyed by Ryo. "Man. I feel kinda bad for some reason." Ryo shook it off and continued to fight the Heartless. Once they were destroyed Yuffie gave out a victory cheer.
"Wahoo! That felt great! Though that wasn't enough of a challenge for the great ninja Yuffie!" She said smirking. Suddenly Yuffie began to fade away.
"What happened to Yuffie?" Ryo asked.
"She's beginning to wake up." Lance explained. "Okay, Who's next?" a door appeared in front of them read Tifa Lockheart. They opened the door and saw a sight they didn't need to see.
"Oh geeze Cloud! Could've you have at least gotten a hotel or something?" Ryo said shielding his eyes. Stitch continued to watch the naked Cloud and Aerith with glee. "Yup, this is Tifa's nightmare. So where's Tifa?" Ryo's question was answered as a screaming Tifa ran up to them being chased by a nerdy fanboy.
"I don't know if I should have fear or pity for that thing." Lance said to himself as the nerd approached. Lance quickly destroyed the pitiful dream nerd with ease. Tifa looked sad as Dream Cloud and Dream Aerith continued to have intercourse."
Oh come on Tifa! It's just a dream! Can't you and Cloud be friends?" Ryo asked. In his own opinion, Ryo always thought Cloud and Aerith were right for each other. Suddenly Tifa rose up with angry fire in her eyes. She suddenly grabbed Ryo by the shirt collar and began to shake him violently.
"Don't... you...EVER ... Say...that...Cloud... and I...are just...FRIENDS!" She screamed and shook him more. She dropped the dizzy Dream Warrior and stalked toward the Dream couple, ripping her clothes off as she did. She pulled dream Aerith off of dream Cloud and snapped her neck.
"What the hell?" Cloud said standing up, only to be pushed back down by Tifa.
"Hey big boy!" She said with a devilish grin on her face, completely naked now. "If you thought playing with ms. Pretty in pink was nice, wait till you play with me! But I've gotta warn you...I play rough!" before dream Cloud could react, Tifa lunged at him began to moan and groan with delight.
"Oh for Pete's sake can't you dream up a curtain or something?" Ryo asked shielding his eyes again. Stitched continued to watch with delight.
"Okay...Whay don't we get to the next dream. I don't think she'll be waking up for awhile." Lance said quickly turning around. Ryo and Stitch did the same as another door appeared that read Jake Long. They entered and left Tifa to enjoy her erotic fantasy. Back in the real world, Tifa slept happily muttering "Cloud's a very big boy."
Ryo, Stitch, and Lance found themselves in a park. In front of them was Jake in his dragon form fighting a man with an electro staff. "Who is that?"
"The Huntsman." Lance stated. "He's the leader of a group known as the Huntsclan. Members of the Huntscan dedicate their lives to hunting magical creatures." Ryo and Stitch stared at him. "What? It's a big universe. You tend to learn things." Soon Ryo and Stitch jumped to the aid of their dragon friend.
"Man am I glad to see you guys!" Jake said dodging a blast of green energy.
"Allies or not You shall fall tonight American Dragon!" the Huntsman bellowed. Ryo combated the Huntsman, but the clever hunter blocked every slash with his staff. The Huntsman kicked Ryo back and aim his staff at him. At the last moment Stitch grabbed him by the legs and began to whack the hunter against a tree several time. Stitch released his grip on the Hunts man as Jake spewed fire on him. The Huntsman screamed in pain and yelled. "She will never accept you dragon! Take note of that!" and then disappeared.
"What did he mean by she?" Ryo asked as Jake transformed into his human form.
"A girl who I liked, but is with the Huntsman." Jake said sadly. "But I know she's not all evil. I'll find a way to bring her to my side." as Jake said this, he began to fade away.
"Okay, that's two people we've woken up plus one who refused to wake up. Who's next?" Just as Lance said that another door appeared that read Ron Stoppable. They entered the door and found themselves in a jungle. In front of them was Ron running away from a mob of screaming monkeys. "The kid's afraid of monkeys?"
"Ron had a bad experience with a chimp at summer camp." Ryo explained.
"You know chimps and monkeys are two different types of animals." Lance stated.
"Monkeys, chimps who cares!" Ron screamed running behind them. "Hide me!"
"Oh come on Ron! They're just monkeys! What's the worst they can do?" Ryo ducked as a brown goop flew past him. "Please tell me that was mud they were throwing."
Lance sniffed the air." No that is definitely not mud." Ryo retaliated by susing light slash, destroying the monkeys instantly.
"Now see? Are they that scary?" Ryo asked.
"No, you're right! Thanks man!" Ron said as he faded away. Another door appeared that read Donald Duck. They entered it and saw Daisy with a big duck in a business suit. Donald was on the floor with a frenzied look on his face.
"Oh boy. I can see the picture here." Lance stated. "Let's just get this over with." Lance was about to charge at the dream ducks when he noticed the devilish smiles on their faces. They both began to change into hideous beats with green drool coming out their mouths. Soon Nightmare grunts appeared behind the creatures. "Looks like Lord Fear's finally fighting back." Lance, Ryo, and Stitch combated the grunts and two creatures while Donald sat there in the cradle position.
"Donald! Don't just sit there! Help us!" Ryo yelled destroying a grunt.
"But Daisy dumped me for a better person." Donald said oblivious to the pandemonium around him.
"Tell me something Donald,...WOULD THE DAISY YOU KNOW AND LOVE TRANSFORM INTO A GREEN DROOLING MONSTER?" Ryo yelled as he dodged a swipe from one of the creatures. Donald finally snapped out of it and his sadness turned to rage.
"THUNDAGA!" Donald screamed and lightning came down on all of the enemies, missing Ryo, Stitch, and Lance. When the lightning faded, the creatures and grunts are gone. "Oh boy!"
"I knew you had it in ya Donald." Ryo said.
"Thanks Ryo." Donald said happily as he faded away. Suddenly another door appeared reading Cid Highwind.
"Come on. We're not done yet." Lance said. They then entered the nightmare of the engineer.
Radiant Garden
On the roadway leading toward Outpost Beta were two four wheeled cars, Sora, Kairi, Goofy, and Kim were inside the transforming Hot Shot. Murphy's police car consisted of himself, Lulu, and Bugs. Gramps was in his dragon form and flying above them. "Outpost Beta is just up ahead." Kim said from the back.
"Let's be careful okay?" Goofy warned.
"How hard could it be...oh crud." Sora said as he saw the several Nightmare grunts guarding the outside of the base. Hot Shot stopped to let his passengers out.
"Okay! I've waiting for some action for a long time! Transform!" Hot Shot said transforming into his robot form. He pulled out his blaster and began to shoot at the grunts. The Nightmarish creatures gave out a battle screech and flew like wasps at the heros. Lulu let loose a barrage of thundaga spells, Sora and Kairi, and Goofy hacked away at the grunts. Robo joined the fight shooting down every grunt in his sight with his auto targeting system.
"I'm heading for the control room back me up!" Kim called as she slid, jumped, rolled and somersaulted toward the gate, dodging the swarming grunts. Gramps fired a blast of blue fire, killing several. Kim, along with Bugs ran into the compound while the others stayed to fight the grunts.
Back at the citadel, Leon was informing the now awakened Yuffie, Jake, Ron, and Donald of the situation. "Great so now while everyone's screaming and not waking up, That Fear guy is getting enough power to escape to the real world?" Jake asked.
"That's the case." Leon said.
"Well, with Ryo, Stitch, and that other guy I didn't know on the job it'll be a piece of cake!" Yuffie said cheerfully. Suddenly Cid came into the control room.
"Oh man I fell great to be awake!" Cid yawned.
"Okay, that's almost everybody." Merlin. Said. "Wait. I feel like someone is missing..."
"Princess Sara!" Leon and Merlin yelled in unison. In the Princess's room, Sara was on her bed listening to her headphones. Soon she became drowsy and fell asleep. She woke up with a shock. She found herself in a dark cathedral.
"Hello there pumpkin." Said a twisted voice. Sara turned to her right to see the sadistic Alistar in a tux next to her. "Today's the big day." That when Sara noticed that she was in a black wedding gown that stopped at her knees. She spun around in horror to find Heartless in the pews. Shadows, Soldiers, air troopers, Armored Nights, all of them Heartless except for Pete and Jangpo who were in the front pew crying and blowing their noses with tissues.
"I get so..sniff!..teary eyed at weddings!" Jangpo said drying his eyes.
"Me too!" Pete wailed blowing his nose. Sara turned back to the altar to find none other than Maleficent with a book in her hands.
"Lets get started shall we?" Maleficent began. ":Do you, Alistar, take this girl as your shadowy queen and wife?"
"I do." Alistar said.
"And do you, Sara, take this psychotic boy as your shadowy king and husband?" Maleficent asked with a smirk.
"Hell no!" she yelled attempting to run away. Suddenly she noticed in horror she was handcuffed to Alistar.
"It's like I said Sara, Destiny cannot be controlled." He said laughing evilly and Sara began to scream.
Dream Realm
After waking up Cid from his Gilligan's Island hell, Ryo, Stitch, and Lance had saved Aerith from the Shin-Ra soldiers. "All that should be left is Cloud." Ryo said. They entered the door and Ryo almost wet his pants. "Oh crap!" In front of him was none other than Sephiroth and Cloud wailing by a dead Aerith.
"Let's get 'em!" Lance yelled.
"Are you nuts! That's freaking Sephrioth!" Ryo yelled with fear in his voice.
"It's a dream Sephrioth, how hard can he be?" Lance said charging at the One Winged Angel. Sephrioth dodged the attack and almost chopped Lance's arms off.
"Im strong enough to kill you." Sephrioth stated. Ryo and Lance were barely dodging his attacks. Stitch tried to get closer but he jumped back as Sephrioth swung his sword. Cloud still stood there by Aerith's corpse.
"Come on man! Is this how you're gonna go! Crying over a fake Aerith?" Ryo yelled. You can beat this guy! Come on! I mean look at his sword! This guy has GOT to be compensating for something!" Ryo ducked as Sephrioth tried to chop his head off.
"You're... you're right!" Cloud stood up angrily and began to glow with a bright light.
"Impossible!" Sephrioth exclaimed. Cloud lunged at him and sliced him in half. "Dream or not. You can never kill me for good." With that Sephrioth faded away.
"Alright Cloud!" Ryo cheered.
"You kicked his long haired ass!" Stitch said Cloud.
"Thanks Ryo. But he will be much more powerful in reality." Cloud said as he began to fade away. "And I'll be ready."
"Okay that should be all of them." Lance said as another door appeared. It read Sara Mouse.
"Oh-No! Sara!" Ryo yelled running in, Stitch and Lance right behind. They were now in a dark cathedral with Heartless lining the pews. On the altar were Alistar, Sara, both of them decked out in gothic wedding clothes, and Maleficent.
"Ryo!" She cried.
"Let her go Alistar!" Ryo demanded pulling out his Dream Sword.
"You want her come and claim her!" Alistar said summoning his dark keyblade. They ran to each other and began to fight. The Heartless jumped out of the pews and attack Lance and Stitch. Lance slashed at the Heartless fiercely. Pete was charging at Lance, only to be stopped and picked up by Stitch.
"Hey let me go you blue freak!" Pete growled. Stitch happily obliged and tossed the obese cat like a bowling ball, crushing many Heartless with his gigantic gut.
"Strike!" Stitch crackled with glee.
Lance and Stitch soon took care of the Heartless.. Now only standing in their way was Jangpo. "Come on! Bring it!" Jangpo said tightening his grip on his Megaton hammer. "I can take anything you guys throw at me." Jangpo ducked as a pew flew by him. Stitch picked up another pew and threw it at Jangpo. The muscular teen continued to dodge the pews. "Ha! Is that all you've got?" suddenly a statue hit him in the face and chest and he collapsed on the floor. "I give..." he groaned. Alistar and Ryo continued their sword fight.
"Face it Ryo. You cannot change destiny." Alistar jumped back and threw his Keyblade at the Dream Warrior. Ryo raised his sword and deflected it.
"Sorry Alistar, but I don't really like to cooperate with the destiny of a madman." Ryo yelled jumping up and jabbing his sword into Alistar's gut. Surprisingly no blood spewed out, and Alistar still had that sadistic smile on his face.
"Congratulations. You defeated a dream version of me. Lets see what happens when you face the real me." the dream Alistar disappeared in darkness. He looked up at the altar to find the dream Maleficent gone and Sara unchained to the altar.
"Ryo!" she cried happily running to him. She pulled Ryo into an embrace. "Thank you." She looked up into his chocolate brown eyes. "You're always my knight in shining armor." She said as she faded away. Ryo blushed at what she said.
"Well our work here is done. Lance said as his dream stone began to glow. "Looks like your friends pulled out the disk." Suddenly the cathedral was gone and they were back in the control room. They were greeted by Sora, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Kim, Lulu, Jake, Gramps, Robocop, Bugs, Leon, Aerith, Yuffie, Cloud, Tifa, Cid, Ron, and Sara. "Well here's the heros of the day!" Cid said happily.
"You saved all of us from our nightmares. We're very thankful for that." Aerith said.
"Did you get the disk?" Lance asked.
"Yup. It was a piece of cake!" Kim said proudly holding up the disk.
"So we stopped Lord Fear from escaping right?" Sora asked.
"Im afraid not dear boy." boomed an ominous voice. Suddenly black mist spewed up from the ground. Soon a figure was visible.
"Lord Fear!" Lance said angrily. Yes, standing at eight feet was none other than the leader of the Nightmares. He wore a black tunic with black pants, black gloves, and steel boots. Over him was a black cape that covered nearly all his body. His head was shaped like a normal human, yet his entire face was covered by a round black mask that had a giant yellow slitted eye on it. He had brown hair styled like Axle's.
"Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" he boomed. "Free at last! And now you see the face of your enemy and I see the faces of mine." They all began to glare at their new enemy. "Now with nearly all the keyblade warriors gone I shall rule all of the worlds with my fearful iron fist! Not even you will be able to stop me Dream Warrior. Farewell for now!" Lord Fear began to laugh manically as he disappeared and a odd rumbling began.
"An earthquake?" Leon asked.
KH-KH-KH
Slade, Joker, and Freeze waited on the cliff overlooking Villain's Veil when the rumbling began. "It's time." Slade said. Joker began to laugh as they disappeared in clouds of darkness.
KH-KH-KH
Soon massive dark energy began to spew from the ground and formed in the sky. When itwas over, they finally saw a dark mass in the sky. "It's a world!" Merlin yelled. Yes it was a dark world with haunted houses, dead trees, and other nightmarish buildings. On top of this world was a black castle with many towers sticking from it. It began to rise into space and disappeared.
"Leon, we need a ship now!" Sora yelled, all of them now out in the postern.
"Well what do you want me to do? Snap my fingers and make a ship instantly appear?" Leon yelled snapping his fingers. There was a loud explosion as something crashed into the castle gates. They ran down to find a large light-blue and white battle cruiser with the initials DD with a lightning bolt between the letters on the side of the ship.
"Well at least something good came out of this night." Cid muttered as they moved to check on the passengers of the ship.
