After everyone finishes gasping, they all ask me how this is possible.
He survived by the self destruct count down messing up, so he got launched into orbit by the explosion in the escape capsule and he said his plans will soon return and he will rule the world, I say to them, I tried to get him trapped in my mind, but I missed the chance.
Dr. Cockroach says, Paul, I have studied lucid dreaming and the whole dream controlling slightly, but I could never fully attain it. How do you do it so easily? I know there is a certain food you have to eat before bed but what is it?
Well, I start to say, The secret I found out was what I eat every day for dinner here at the facility, Bacon and Olive Pizza with no sauce. I have attained full control but Gallaxhar had managed to use a device to transfer brainwaves into my mind and infiltrate my dreams.
Of course! Dr. Cockroach realizes, The proteins in the bacon along with the cheese become amino acids that become lactic acid. Along with the complex molecules of the pizza bread, these take longer to digest, so then more blood goes to your stomach region to keep it warm and your brain realizes you re asleep from less oxygen going to your mind, thereby allowing you to realize you re dreaming and then you can control it, Brilliant!
So, I say, What are we going to do?
Susan starts up, We need to find Gallaxhar and then we can go and stop him.
Link says to Susan, But what if that is what he wants us to do?
Bob says, Well let s welcome him to the neighborhood with a barbecue! We all stare at him and then he realizes his blunder.
Monger interrupts our planning, You shall do no thing! We shall put trackers on your bodies and each of you will get a watch that can locate each other. Then you will go by your regular day or missions and when he tries to catch one of you, we will find you and save you and put an end to his attempts to rule the world.
He mumbles into a walkie talkie and suddenly a helicopter drops from the ceiling with a bunch of wires, each having a certain size of watch and tracker. And then a large one is then lowered for Susan and an even larger one for Insecto!
Link got one that was waterproof and all of them were shock-proof. The tracker was put onto our arms and the watch went onto our wrists.
Monger then tells us, Well, now I ve decided that Paulankey, now you will have to be ready for any attempt of Gallaxhar attacking again so we re going to change your diet to your dinner meal for all three meals.
Ok Monger, I say to him.
Alright Monsters, well you all have to keep training for the upcoming battle so from breakfast to lunch, you will be in the training room for preparedness.
We all go into the training room after breakfast ends and then we go for lunch and there, I get pizza just like Monger said would happen!
Then Dr. Cockroach brings out a lot of parts as he wants to make a lucid dreaming device for the use of study incase Gallaxhar attacks.
So Paul, Dr. Cockroach asks me, How do I make a proper lucid dreaming device?
I start up, Well, you need two red LED light bulbs, a light switch flicker device with a settable tempo, a sleeping mask, two batteries and wires.
Dr. Cockroach manages to get all of those things from the pile. Why did he have all of those? I think to myself. And why does the sleeping mask have a nibble on one part of it?
I show him how to hook up all the parts. The LED lights go onto the wires and connect to the switch, reroute and reverse the polarity of the wires and the tempo is tuned once everything is connected to the battery. Lastly, the LED lights go thru the sleeping mask and voila! we have a lucid dreaming device! The mask looks pretty decent.
Brilliant! Dr. Cockroach exclaims, Now I can just have to make a pill form of the elements within the pizza to induce lucid dreaming. He grabs a slice from the table as Monger sent some in for lunch. He runs out of the main room and goes up to his room.
He comes back down and has a pill with him.
Dr. Cockroach tells me, Here Paul, Try this he hands me the pill and I pop it into my mouth.
Wow, I say and then respond, This tastes just like it would if it wasn t a pill but a slice of pizza! How did you do that Dr. Cockroach?
Dr. Cockroach replies to me, Well Paul, I simply put it into a dehydration device and removed all of the liquid and then compacted it into a pill!
Dr. Cockroach makes a dozen or so of these pills.
Then I go back up to my room and then just lay down in shock at what may happen. All of my friends are working hard to save the world and all I can do is just try to help. I realize what will have to happen. I will have to reach deep down inside of myself and then when the time comes, I will have to release the mind of Blankey and then let him attack Gallaxhar! He won t see it coming!
I realize what I will have to do so I go back down to the main room and get everyone together.
Hey everyone, I shout to them, Come over here.
They all come over and then Link asks, What is it Paul?
Well, I start to tell them, I ve decided that we need more training but on a higher level than just in the facility.
Susan asks, What do you mean Paul?
I tell them, I mean if Gallaxhar attacks with a new method, we won t be ready. I ve chosen the perfect place to expect the unexpected. My mind!
They all realize I m right and then Dr. Cockroach asks me a question, But Paul, what if Gallaxhar attacks us in your mind?
He won t, I tell Dr. Cockroach, If you can make a lucid dreaming device, you can make a brainwave blocker and block all brainwaves from entering my mind that aren t within a certain distance!
Of course! Dr. Cockroach exclaims, I only need to put a blocking device within the lucid dreaming device and then it will be able to work and block distant attempts to hack into your mind! I ll make a lucid dreaming device for Link, myself and a large one for Susan but what about Bob and Insecto?
I tell Dr. Cockroach, Just have Monger set the blinking red light to a slow pace and remove the buzzer and it should work the same as the devices.
Dr. Cockroach runs off and isn t seen until dinner.
We all are eating and then Dr. Cockroach emerges from his elevator and we see Monger with him driving a jeep with a huge sleeping mask for Susan and Dr. Cockroach is holding a smaller one for Link. And one for a huge pair of eyes was also in the jeep for Dr. Cockroach.
Monger says to me, Paulankey, Dr. Cockroach has told me your plan and I approve of it! The boys in the alarm room know that the lights in Insecto and Bob s rooms will blink slowly and without a buzzer. Now I don t approve of everyone eating the same food tonight so Dr. Cockroach has made a lot of the pizza pills for you. And he told me overdose is impossible and we have already tested it.
Then the tubes return each with a certain amount of pills, a few for Link, a few for Dr. Cockroach, a few fall onto Bob, a wheel barrel of pills for Susan and a truck load for Insecto and I lastly get a bucket full probably so I can maintain control the whole night. Luckily they are so compact; they aren t choking size and immediately dissolve for large intake.
We all eat and Monger leaves and then I finally explain to them the final part of the process to reach my mind.
I explain to them, Alright everyone, when you fall asleep, you will dream regularly. Suddenly, there will be a door that will appear in front of you. You have to go through the door and you will enter my dream and my mind. Then you will realize that you are dreaming and will see me. Alright?
They all understand and then we all say goodnight and soon expect to see each other in 15 minutes or so.
I go to bed and prepare for a very busy night, but I know I won t be tired in the morning because I will get a full night s sleep!
As my eyes close I begin the process of lucid dreaming and soon I m ready for them.
