CHAPTER 4: DREAMCAST

Sonic was sitting around a camp fire -Merlina's corpse. I will SO do that.- on top of the sleeping dragon with Gawain, Lancelot and Percival, guitar in hand, calmly strumming.

"It takes a while to be trained with one of these, and plus no one here knows how to take care of these wounds it causes, so I'm sure as hell not giving any of you guys the boomstick." Sonic explained. He liked 'reading' the book. It was like playing an adventure you can go back and play like a video game, find other paths and ways to do things. He wasn't going to read any books based off more recent times. He liked being the best guy with the best weapon.

"What? You don't trust us?" Lancelot grumbled.

"No, it's just that if someone is quick to judge, they are quick to shoot, without bothering to hear them out. Imagine beating a thief down for stealing your money, some guard walks up to you and stabs you in the back because he thinks you were stealing from him. I'll be leaving tomorrow or the next day, back to where I came from, so I'll be appointing Gawain as the king until someone else speaks up with a better idea." Sonic lectured.

"Great!" Gawain exclaimed.

Some time passed. The sun had fully set. The sky was a nice purplish color, with the stars twinkling and the sun just under the horizon. Gawain, Lancelot, and the dragon were all asleep, Merlina had stopped burning, it was just Sonic strumming a couple tunes on the guitar, with Percival listening quietly.

"So... you're going home tomorrow?" Percival asked. "Your real home?"

Sonic shrugged. "Yeah. Sucks a bit. Sure it's more advanced technology wise, but I got this fangirl breathing down my neck, a copy cat that thinks he's better than me at everything, a crazy doctor trying to take over the world every other week, and only a thousand 'most powerful creatures' and 'incredible forces' to put to sleep. Not to mention all the other fan girls."

Percival got up and sat closer to Sonic. "That sounds terrible."

"Not that bad though. I'm not a fan of using weapons and stuff, so I only used them here to get going fast. I have this 'shapeshifting master of darkness' to put up with. He got me in this place to begin with. I was planning to use one of the cursed books that my friend gave me, but then I realized I had brought the wrong book and tossed it aside. He threw me in the book right before I finished him off." Sonic explained. -Dude I fought Aku.-

"Oh... well do you think it'll be of any use trying to fight back if he'll just toss you back in here?"

"Not alone. That's why I'm still on the dragon. I'm bringing it with me, along with the Scabbard, to the real world." Sonic answered. "Maybe you guys too, if you don't fall or something."

"Do you want to go back?"

"Eh, I don't really care. It's just the same shit on a different day. This world is decent though. It's such a break from the normal. What would be the fan girl here is polite and not chasing me, my faker can at least work with me, the doc is no where to be seen, I killed both the 'mystical beings' in this world, and I don't have to worry about this giant military company chasing me for the stuff I accidentally did to them for getting in the way."

"How about this..." she said, her voice changing from normal to seductive. "You can stay in our world."

Sonic simply stared at her. -WAIT A SECOND. Percival's not Rouge. SOMETHIN' AIN'T RIGHT. Hey wait a second, I never fought Aku to begin with, but shit I WISH I did...-

"You only have to do one liiiiittle thing for me..." she said as she giggled and leaned closer.

-This is a dream isn't it. This is how all my nightmares start. All good stuff, then some weird stuff, then some I JYNXED IT FUCK.-Sonic slammed his eyes shut. -WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP DAMMIT...-

There was a pause.

-...No. Actually...-

"NOPE." Sonic answered before she could say anything. He opened eyes, to see Percival somewhat disappointed, tilting her head before leaning back again. -MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, LUCID DREAM IN PROGRESS.-

"Oh..." the cat said, in a disappointed and confused tone. "Well, uh..."

Sonic tossed an arm around her shoulder. "But what would you do? Gawain would be the king, Lancelot and him would fight over it, would you really want to deal with that? Tell ya what. How about, instead of me staying here, how about you come over here? We already have so many people over there, you'd hardly be noticed." Sonic explained.

"Hmm... Sure. Heh..."

Percival chuckled a bit, before turning to the pile of ash that was once Merlina. She lit the ashes on fire. There was an audible moan coming from the ashes. Percival put her hand on Sonic's shoulder. Feeling relieved, he closed his eyes.

~NOW THIS IS A STORY ALL ABOUT HOW MY LIFE GOT FLIPPED TURNED UPSIDE DOWN~

He felt that he was spinning.

-oh god what-

He opened his eyes to see that he was in a spinning purple chair, suspended on a wall with graffiti all over it. In horror of his mind randomly straying from what he wanted, he grabbed the sides of his face and began pulling down in shock, but immediately stopped in fear of tearing off his own face.

~NOW I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MINUTE JUST SIT RIGHT THERE, AND I'LL TELL YOU HOW I BECAME THE PRINCE OF A TOWN CALLED BEL-AIR.~

Suddenly the wall collapsed behind him, Sonic took a look to see that the chair was on a motor that was spinning, and the motor is on a beam, which is being held up by a catapult. -Note to self: NEVER CLOSE YOUR EYES IN A DREAM AGAIN.-

After being flung across the sky in his perpetually pirouetting pimpin' purple pop-culture chair on a stick, Sonic decided to get out of the chair, and on the ground before he reached Bel-Air.

Sonic smashed into the ground, unsure where he was. He got up and dusted himself off.

"I just HAD to think of Bel-Air." Sonic muttered to himself, throwing the purple hat to the ground and stomping on it. "Dream was going down ever since the beginning. The crashing plane started turning up when I got lucid, but then GOD DAMN LIGHTNING STRIKES and I crash land in Bel-Air. I want my own sitcom." Sonic then took the moment to realize where he was.

He was on Shadow Moses.

There was Metaknight, Solid Snake, and Lucario.

Metal Gear Rex just bursted through the Shadow Moses Nuclear Storage Facility. It was holding 2 missiles, and was charging its' railgun.

"LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!" Snake said, quickly aging in the process.

"SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!" Said Liquid from inside Rex, getting ready to smash the missiles together.

"LUCARIO!" Lucario said, charging up lasers to shoot at the missiles.

"KIRRRRRBEEEEEEE!" Kirby said, taking off Metaknight's mask.

"Son of a bitch."
