Dream Your Dream


On the airship that is flying once more due to having been repaired since the Genshin chapters because it takes a million years for Lego to gain motivation to write, the lounge was booming with activity as everyone enjoyed a (temporary) break from the Fontaine shenanigans.

"Ya know, I'm impressed," Bardock began as he enjoyed a drink with several members of the crew.

"Impressed about what?" Shallot asked as he placed down a card, playing Uno with Cell, Kermit, and Goku Black.

"The fact Lego hasn't forced us into a conflict that we have next to no reason to be a part of," Bardock answered as he took a swig from his beer. "It's been like, 5 years since he started that shit with Evil in the DAU fic, and we've been in the Fontaine for almost a year now as well."

Evil, upon hearing his name being called, appeared at the table and placed a hand on it. "And that's because the battle with me should be epic! Legendary! And-!"

"Cringe," the DAU cast said at the same time, cutting Evil off.

"What?!" Evil questioned as he glared at them.

"You're cringe," Cell stated simply, with Kermit and Goku Black nodding.

"Hella cringe," Goku Black added as he flipped off Evil.

"You are the definition of a stereotypical Dragon Ball villain," Kermit told Evil bluntly. "You're strong, stupid, and overall just a repeat of what we've had before, except instead of being an evil Goku, you're an evil Lego."

"I take offense to that!" Evil shouted as he pointed at Kermit for the unintended puns.

"Cringe," the rest of the lounge said together as they pointed at Evil, confusing and dumbfounding the shittily written villain.

"...what does that even mean?" Evil asked, blinking dumbfoundedly as he looked around.

"Don't worry about it, you probably wouldn't care anyways," Shallot replied, looking at Evil for just a moment, before continuing to play Uno. "Uno."

"Who has a Plus 4?" Cell asked Kermit and Goku Black.

Before either of the two could reply, the doors to the lounge were opened, with Lego appearing. "What's up bitches!" Lego shouted as he announced his presence. As everyone stole a glance at him, almost everyone tensed up as they saw half of his mask was gone, and one of his eyes was black with a white pupil. And if you remember what happened last time this happened, everyone was notably on edge, with some getting out of their seats and into defensive and offensive positions.

Bardock was one of those people, and shouted to everyone who also did the same, "Quickly, hold 'im down before he-"

"I'm not going crazy!" Lego shouted as he held his hands up. "Not this time at least. You all are okay."

"Prove it!" Katsuku shouted as he pointed at Lego.

"Uh…" Lego thought about a response. "...well, anything I say is technically-"

"Alright, he's normal," Katsuku interrupted.

"I didn't even get to finish my sentence!" Lego shouted.

"Exactly," everyone replied, causing Lego to shrug and roll his eyes.

"So… why is your mask half broken?" Evil questioned.

"Not important because my personal character development is stupid," Lego answered. "What is important is that I am here to announce to you all something amazing!"

This was only met with a chorus of, "Sus." The author wasn't surprised by this and smirked, which was unsettling to some.

"Well, I guess it is, because IT'S TIME FOR VACATION MOTHERFUCKERS!" Lego announced, surprising and confusing everyone.

"...you give people vacations?" Evil asked once more. "Is… is that allowed? Tale?" The man in question, who was sitting in his own corner of the room, merely shrugged. There was also notable confusion amongst the rest of the crew, as Lego was actually giving them a vacation.

Cell placed his cards down and looked at Lego. "Is… is he serious?"

"Yep," Lego confirmed. "Besides, we're already there."

"There?" Shallot questioned. "...there where?"

Lego gestured for everyone to follow with a sly grin. "Follow follow follow, though the truth is hard to swallow," Lego said as he led everyone to the bridge of the ship.

Upon everyone arriving at the bridge of the airship, everyone saw what looked like a colossal artificial space station-like megastructure, surrounded by two small Alderson disks orbiting it. The alderson disks had several landmasses and bodies of water, city buildings able to be seen jutting out on both from the "top" and "underside" of the alderson disks.

It was also to be noted that the airship was in space, and so was the megastructure, with the stars easily seen amongst them all.

"What the hell is that?" Cell asked, confused and baffled.

"Penacony from Honkai: Star Rail!" Lego said as he put an arm around Cell's shoulder, gesturing to Penacony with his other hand. "The Planet of Festivities and where we'll be having our vacation!"

Cell blinked as he looked at the author, with everyone else also notably shying away from Lego. "...please let go of me," Cell asked, to which Lego did.

"In any news, I have bullied the shit out of a dude so that we all can vacation here," Lego elaborated. "So, pack your bags or bring nothing, for once inside, we'll each be taken to our own respective rooms within The Reverie Hotel, and then we'll each be able to enter the Dreamscape."

"The what?" Everyone asked.

"You'll see it when we get there," the author replied, his smile unsettling the characters forced to be a part of his stories, even if there was good intentions behind it.

Evil tilted his head. "Wait, I'm also gonna be allowed in?" He questioned. "I'm… I'm a villain. Not to mention others among us are villains."

"I said I bullied someone," Lego replied. "And besides, we're not intergalactic criminals in the Honkai Universe. And if we were, then we're the strongest ones here." The knock-off Lego blinked a bit, baffled by how nonchalant Lego was being.

But, there was no room to complain.


Inside of The Reverie Hotel, everyone noted how much the place looked like a fancy prison, with the amount of doors in the place stretching for miles, with possibly a hundred or so stories inside.

"Yo, here to check in," Lego said to the people at the front desk. "Should be labeled under 'Lego'..."

"So are we gonna question how he managed to actually get us all a room in this place?" Bardock asked as he stared at Lego, still quite dumbfounded that this was really happening.

"With no strings attached?" Cell added.

"And with us not getting involved with whatever dark scheme is probably brewing under the surface?" Lego's main Villain Deku from the Genshin chapters and Fixing the Holes in Society added.

A moment of silence among the three occurred, before they each said, "Yeah, I'm worried."

"This place does look rather nice though," Evil commented as he looked around, his hands on his hips. "...still, this place feels… not like a vacation home."

"That's because we're going to each go to our rooms, and literally dream," Lego said as he walked up to the group. "Listen up people, I'm only gonna explain this once! The Dreamscape is the main location where we're going for our vacation. Basically, we're going to go to our own rooms, sleep in the weird bathtubs inside, and we'll all be in a dream that might as well be another plane of existence. That is the Dreamscape. It's happy, whimsical, and a dream. As for whether or not your powers will show up in there, they probably will, because plot. Also, killing people is pointless as they'll just be yanked out of the dream before you can kill them. There are different moments in the dream, but you can each experience that shit for yourselves."

"The Dreamscape is divided into 12 different moments," a voice added, as a young man with fair skin and yellow irises with purple pupils, smooth, but wavy grayish-blue shoulder-length hair with a fringe swept up to the left and angel wings of similar color behind his ears, as well as a halo behind his head, showed up. "Moment of Daybreak, Moment of Sol, Moment of Scorchsand, Moment of Oasis, Moment of Dusk, Moment of Blue Hour, Moment of Serenity, Moment of Golden Hour, Moment of Stars, Moment of Morning Dew, and Moment of Gilded Hour. Excuse the word vomit, but it'll all make sense in due time."

"Oh, hey Sunday," Lego said to the man. "Nice to know you're still willing to play nice."

Sunday's eye twitched a bit, before he coughed into his fist. "I wasn't left with much of a choice, now was I?"

"This is the dude you threatened?" Bardock questioned as he looked at Sunday. "...damn, that's sad."

"He's the head of the Oak Family in this shithole," Lego replied whilst Sunday merely bowed his head, unable to actually say anything back due to whatever threats Lego had assured Sunday he was capable of following through with. "So yeah, everyone say thank you to him."

"No," the members of Lego's army replied, which drowned out the "Thank you"'s made by the children amongst them.

"Well this shithole is where your vacation is taking place, so you should find it satisfactory for your well deserved break…" Sunday replied, clearly trying to still remain nice and sound unbothered by the verbal abuse committed by Lego and his group. "The Family extends a warm welcome to each of you, but remember that this is still a resort and/or vacation getaway for other people across the universe. Your boss may have 'persuaded' me and the rest of the family into allow the entirety of your group to stay here for free, but any behavior that isn't satisfactory will still be reprimanded, which may result in-"

"We know," Lego's group said at once, silencing Sunday as they could already guess what would happen. This was a resort, so it was natural to assume it would act like any other resort or hotel.

Sunday sighed as he shook his head. "...very well. Enjoy your stay." Sunday then began to walk away, grumbling under his breath, "Can't believe I have to indulge these assholes…"

Lego clapped his hands together. "Well, fuck him, let's enjoy ourselves!" Lego said, which prompted the rest of his group to actually, for the first time in a moment, cheer in excitement.


"What the hell is this?" Evil questioned as he stood inside of the Dreamscape's Golden Hour, which in all reality simply looked like a city in your typical world that emphasized gambling and shopping. "Seriously, what in the world am I looking at?"

Evil was baffled and silent as he looked around as people wandered the streets without a care in the world, with all sorts of people around, ranging from your typical people, to children who had a fluff ball dangling on their head (Evil heard something about them being something called a Pepeshi?), and even golden robots in suits or dresses wandering around.

There were walking billboards that had eyes and mouths on them shouting about whatever they were advertising, and Evil even encountered the occasional trio of floating ice cream cones with three scoops. The sky was also in a constant state of night time, with nothing but the lights from the buildings and lamp posts illuminating the area.

The weirdest part? Evil actually could not sense any Ki from the people he encountered, leaving him wondering how this dream operated.

Evil walked around the Golden Hour, simply looking around the Dreamscape with no intention to shop, nor any intention to gamble at any of the machines. That wasn't him. He was a killer, cold and ruthless! He destroyed galaxies for Pete's sake!

Evil scoffed as he found himself walking through a back alley. "This is pointless," Evil said. "What is the point of coming to this place if some of us don't even know how to properly relax, or even want to?!" Evil continued walking through the alley, before hearing some shuffling.

Evil looked over at several trash cans, as well a dumpster within the back alley, hearing something coming from inside the trash. "And they have trash cans within the Dreamscape?! Is this even a dream?!" Evil questioned, baffled by the appearance of trash cans, before he watched a grey haired girl poke her head from out of the dumpster.

"Hmm?" The girl questioned as she looked at Evil, who was surprised more about the fact that a girl was rummaging through trash in the Penacony Dreamscape. Just what was this place?! "You here for the trash too?"

"Wha- I'm sorry, who are you?!" Evil questioned as he pointed at her.

"I'm Stelle," the girl said as she introduced herself. With a smile, she added, "Otherwise known as Galactic Baseballer."

"Never heard of you," Evil replied bluntly.

"Not surprised," Stelle replied as she got out of the dumpster, holding a couple trash backs before they suddenly dispersed.

Evil blinked a few times. "How did you…?"

"Don't worry about it," Stelle said with a smile as she walked over to another trash can and took off the lid, before digging through the trash aimlessly, before pulling out an unopened bottle of some kind of beverage. "Ooooo, this'll come in handy! What a steal!"

"I'm sorry, why is a homeless rummaging through trash in a dream?" Evil questioned as Stelle looked over at him. "Isn't this still just a dream?"

"Oh no, you can bring almost everything out of the Dreamscape and into reality," Stelle answered as the bottle she held in her hands also dispersed suddenly, likely into some sort of sub dimension of items. "Although apparently the only thing The Family doesn't have the ability to do is make the vehicles here in reality. Aeons know why, but eh, not my concern."

Evil was stupefied… but also somewhat impressed. "Oh, they can do that?" Evil asked for further confirmation.

"Yeah. That's why I've also been able to bring in some other trash I had on me," Stelle said, baffling Evil more.

"What?"

Stelle nodded, her expression being serious. "Yep." To prove her point, she suddenly pulled out a golden trash bag, confusing Evil. "See?" She quickly returned the golden trash bag from whence it came, a hint of fear in her eyes that quickly faded as the trash bag simply dissolved into blue mist.

Evil was stupefied beyond belief (although it wasn't like there was much in that head of his anyways). "I… I'm confused."

"About what? It seems pretty simple to me," Stelle replied as she crossed her arms.

"Why do you collect trash?" Evil questions. "Trash is still trash."

"Have you ever heard the phrase, 'One man's trash is another man's treasure'?" Stelle asked Evil, causing the demon to pause and think on it. Eventually, Evil nodded, to which Stelle followed up and said, "It's just like that. Not to mention the thrill of finding something useful in a trash can is similar to opening up a treasure chest!"

Evil's interest and confusion was piqued. "Did… did you say similar to a… treasure chest?"

Stelle nodded. "Mhm." She picked up an unopened trash can and brought it over to Evil. "If you don't care about being covered in trash, how about you look and see what's inside?"

Evil was hesitant. Trash was trash to him. He saw no value within the discarded junk… But with Stelle believing that the trash had a use and was comparable to treasure, he was curious about what he could find if he blindly opened the trash can. So, with blind faith, the demon opened the trash can, chucking the lid to the side and digging inside of it… finding a half eaten rotten apple that has a rib cage on the inside of it.

"An… apple?" Evil commented as he observed the garbage.

"Ooo, Hunger," Stelle remarked as she took the apple from Evil and looked at it. "Apparently this is a spice within Penacony that makes any food irresistible within the Dreamscape."

Evil blinked. "You're telling me this rotten apple can make irresistible food?" Evil questioned in disbelief.

"Yep!" Stelle answered. "...mind if I have it?"

Evil scoffed and crossed his arms. "It's not like I cook, so go ahead, help yourself."

Stelle smiled. "Thanks." After pocketing the apple that was called 'Hunger', Stelle looked over at Evil and asked, "Wanna look through the rest of this trash with me?"

Evil was baffled. "You don't even know me, and you want me to dumpster dive with you?"

Stelle paused and seemed to think about it. "Hmm… yeah, pretty much," she said nonchalantly. "Actually, what is your name?"

"It's Evil," he said as he looked down at her.

"Evil… Alright, nice to meet you Evil," Stelle said, actually taking it literally. This surprised Evil, as he didn't expect her to actually believe his name to be… well… Evil.

"...no jokes?" The demon questioned, as if this was too good to be true.

"You'd be surprised at how many people I know who have objects or concepts as names," Stelle said, surprising him like she said he would be.

"Wait, for real?" Evil asked as he leaned forward and looked at her.

"Yeah," Stelle said. "One of my friends is literally named March 7th, although that's because Himeko, Welt, and Dan Heng didn't know what to name her, so they named her after the day they found her, which is March 7th."

Evil couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of such a name. "They named her after a date?!" The demon laughed for a moment, before his laughter died down. "I'm sorry, that's just too funny!"

"One of the members of the IPC who I've become acquainted with is also named Topaz," Stelle told Evil with a hum, smiling at his amusement which even caused her to giggle a bit as he laughed. "And then two members of the Stellaron Hunters I've fought are named Silver Wolf and Blade, which is a bit funny considering the fact that one of them is more or less a call sign while the other is probably just a name due to what I've learned about him."

Evil seemed interested to learn more about the people of this world. "Tell me more," Evil said.

Stelle's smile widened. "Sure."

The two then proceed to go through more trash whilst Stelle explained to Evil some of the factions of this world, as well as some of the adventures she's gone on, with Evil blissfully unaware that he had encountered an MC of the Honkai Universe.


The Garden of Recollection was known to gather the memories of any and everyone with the intention of preserving the universe's memories, for they were aligned with the Aeon of Remembrance, Fuli. As those that worked for the Garden of Recollection were Memokeepers, rarely to appear before people, and to simply record the memories of the cities they approached, silent and efficiently, before moving onto the next.

So when Black Swan saw a massive group of people arrive in Penacony after apparently bullying one of the family heads, she took note of how unique and different the people were. Many of them were humans, yes, but many weren't just human.

So once she entered the Dreamscape, she hunted down their leader to learn about him, for who better to learn from than the one who led these people.

It wasn't until she was face to face with the young man that she realized…

"Black Swan," Lego said as he looked over at her. "I knew you were coming."

Black Swan was pleasantly surprised as she sat down next to Lego, the two of them at Aideen Park within the Golden Hour of Penacony. "You know me? That's a surprise," Black Swan commented.

"I have outsider knowledge," Lego stated with a hum. "But sadly, I'm not interested in an exchange of memories, nor will my group be willing to indulge you."

Black Swan pouted a bit playfully as she looked at Lego, unable to resist the urge to smile. "Oh? So bold to proclaim such a thing. What makes you so sure of that?" The Memokeeper asked, a playful tone in her voice.

"Because they're idiots," Lego answered. "And you'd have waaaaaay too many universes to sift through. It's really not worth your time, especially when we're not from this universe or dimension."

The Memokeeper seemed more intrigued than confused. "Oh? And what's that supposed to mean?"

"Multiversal shenanigans mixed with way too many alternate timelines," Lego said as he pulled out a diagram that literally just said 'Time Vault', refusing to elaborate more on the matter. "Hell, you'd have a problem dealing with Izuku and then Katsuku, and then learning about the canon MHA timeline."

Black Swan raised an eyebrow at what Lego was saying. Regardless of how he tried to dissuade her, it sounded like he and his group were highly powerful, with extremely advanced technology if they were able to travel through universes and timelines.

"Legoooooooo!" A voice called out, with Lego and Black Swan turning to see Navia from the Spina di Rosula walking up towards them. "Thank heavens I found you!"

"Sus," Lego replied, before sighing. "What's wrong?"

"Well, I merely wished to ask," Navia began before stepping to the side and gesturing to Furina, the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, who was following her too, "why is Furina here?!"

"Don't worry about it," a notably depressed and less flamboyant Furina replied, with most of the white in her outfit now being black instead. "But just know that I am happy you managed to lead me back to someone I know."

Navia looked back at the crazed author, and added, "And what happened to her?!"

Lego turned to Black Swan however and said, "See what I mean?"

"Don't just ignore me!" Navia shouted. "I'm trying to talk to you!"

The author turned back towards the president of the Spina di Rosula and said, "This Furina is the one who works alongside me in Genshin, which means this is post Genshin 4.2 Furina. Meanwhile you, Navia, are from 4.0 still as that is the part of the story we're still in regarding my Genshin chapters."

Black Swan looked between Lego and his two companions, before saying, "I can begin to see why you said it would take me a while now, even if it merely feels like you're talking about a video game."

Furina laughed at Black Swan's analysis. "Oh, you have no idea," Furina replied, before slumping over in her chair and partially laying on the table.

Navia sat down next to Furina now, looking at Black Swan and asking, "And who may you be?"

"I am Black Swan, a Memokeeper that works for the Garden of Recollection," Black Swan answered. "We preserve the memories of the universe, so that when the destruction of the universe occurs, everything will be reborn and preserved." Navia and Furina both stared at Black Swan, confused at how that would work.

"Try not to think about it," Lego said. "I don't try to understand either."

"Well, I'm Navia, the president of the Spina di Rosula," Navia greeted with a smile.

"And I am Furina, still known to some as Focalores, the Hydro Archon of Fontaine," Furina greeted. "Which would mean I am the God of Justice and Water. But Furina is fine."

Black Swan was interested to learn that she was in the presence of a god, and looked closer at Furina. But before Black Swan could say anything, Lego said, "Oh shit, it's the bad bitch!" This random statement caused confusion, before the three ladies that Lego was with turned to see a purple haired woman carrying an odachi sword, wearing a black crop top, black and purple shorts, black gloves and boots of different lengths, and a white and purple jacket with sleeves that were reminiscent of a kimono.

"Bad bitch?" Furina and Navia questioned, whilst Black Swan rolled her eyes.

"Oh god, he's a youngster," Black Swan commented dryly.

"Damn right!" Lego said, before turning back to look at the purple haired woman. "And goddamn… we need to recruit her."

"I'm sorry," Furina began as she sat up in her chair and looked at Lego. "What? Why?"

Lego made Furina look at the woman, saying, "That's Acheron, one of the coolest people I know in the Hoyoverse games, which isn't saying much considering I only play Genshin and Honkai: Star Rail, but still, she's as bad as it gets."

"She's a villain?" Navia questioned.

"No, she's cool," Lego replied. "Hella cool! We're talking sitting on a plastic lawn chair in the middle of a storm, cool. We're talking badass cutscene levels of cool! …that and I also managed to summon her in Honkai: Star Rail, so we should probably recruit her because I'm a selfish dick."

The three women looked at him, dumbfounded at that last part. "That's not something to be proud of," Furina commented with a worried expression on her face.

"You're depressed, so I don't want to hear it from you," Lego said as he crossed his arms.

"What?!" Navia questioned.

Black Swan then said, "Well, you better get moving, because Acheron's already left." Lego's head popped up, before turning to where Acheron stood, with only an outline appearing where she stood, as Acheron left.

"Damn it, now it's going to look like we're stalking her!" Lego slammed his head into the table. "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck…"

Black Swan then giggled at Lego's morality and how he was going to be breaking it. "Ah morality. How quaint. I have no quarrels with stalking since she piqued my interest, and as a Memokeeper, I want to learn her history and record it in the Garden of Recollection. So, follow along." Black Swan then began to walk towards where she had seen Acheron go, leaving Lego, Furina, and Navia behind.

"Well, we have nothing better to do," Navia said as she stood up. "This should be a fun little adventure."

"Agree. It's time for the superstars to shine throughout Penacony!" Furina added flamboyantly as she too stood up, her supposed depression having mood swings. Either that or it was a mask she wore to hide whatever sadness she had.

"I'm not a superstar though," Lego commented as he looked up at Furina, also standing up.

"I know that, that's why I wasn't referring to you," Furina replied, scoring a not very effective hit on Lego's pride.

Lego pointed at her. "There it is."

"Black Swan's getting away!" Navia reminded them. "Now quickly! Let's go!" Navia then began sprinting towards where Black Swan was, with Furina and Lego in tow.

"See, this is why I keep y'all around," Lego commented as he ran with Navia and Furina. "Because I'm two-thirds a bitch and don't have the guts to do this shit." As if irked by his statement, Furina pulled out her weapon, a pipe, and smacked Lego's legs with it while they ran, tripping him up and running off. "GODDAMN IT FURINA!"

"Cry about it!" Furina said as she flipped him off, whilst Navia looked back briefly with a worried and confused expression.

The only thing Navia said, however, was, "What the hell happens in 4.2?"


After an hour or so of hanging out with Stelle, Evil found himself slowly learning the ways of this world. And in truth… it barely made sense to his simpleton brain.

So, there were Aeons that were practically gods. Some are dead and some are alive. Some people are also allowed to use their powers for their own purposes, and they become Pathstriders. There are different levels of power each of the Aeons are willing to give the individuals. Some of these people may also become Emanators, carrying out the will of the Aeons or just doing their own thing… something like that apparently.

"So let me get this straight," Evil began. "These Aeons are like Gods…" Stelle nodded in confirmation. "...the Emanators carry out their will and have access to their power." The trash-panda nodded once more. "But Pathstriders who aren't Emanators can just tap somewhat into the Aeon's power?"

"Yep," Stelle nodded. "I can wield the power of Nanook the Destruction and Qlipoth the Preservation, although I can use only one Path at a time."

Evil seemed confused. "I thought you said Pathstriders can only wield one Path?"

"Well, in combat, yes. But that doesn't mean there aren't exceptions," Stelle replied. "Me and the Nameless of the Astral Express follow the Path of the Trailblaze, but we each follow our own Paths. March's power comes from the Path of Preservation, whilst Himeko's comes from the path of Erudition. Mr. Yang's power comes from the Path of Nihility. Dan Heng is the only one who can also switch between Paths, but he has to enter his Vidyadhara form to switch to the Path of Destruction. Otherwise, Dan Heng's power comes from the Path of The Hunt." Stelle crossed her arms with a hum as she thought about it a little more, thinking if there was anything else she could add to that.

"That's… something," Evil said. "So… in combat, the Paths of Destruction, Preservation, Erudition, Nihility, and The Hunt are what'll help people fight?"

Stelle nodded. "There are also the Paths of Harmony and Abundance as well."

Evil seemed dumbfounded by this. "What?"

"What?" Stelle questioned as she saw Evil's confusion.

"What does any of this mean?!" Evil questioned, his simpleton brain unable to process what she was saying in full.

The Trailblazer that was Stelle seemed to realize Evil didn't understand any of this. "Nutshell: Destruction means big damage, The Hunt targets a single enemy, Erudition attacks more enemies, Nihility deplies debuffs to enemies, Harmony provides buffs for allies, Abundance provides healing for allies, and Preservation provides shields to allies," Stelle stated, hoping now Evil would understand.

Realization dawned on Evil's face. "I see!" The demon exclaimed, standing up as he finally understood, before following up with, "Why didn't you just refer to it all as that?"

"Because I thought I was explaining it well enough," Stelle answered as she too stood up. "...how old are you again?"

"Lost count over 100," Evil answered with a hum. "I think I'm like… 130 years old?"

Stelle's eyes widened. "...I'm hoping you merely lived on a planet with a small orbit around a sun, because-"

"Oh, I'm just going off of when I was born," Evil replied. "Ya know, 365 days a year, 24 hours per day."

"Then how in the world are you so dumb?!" Stelle stated bluntly, catching Evil off guard a bit.

"...well, to be fair, I am a conqueror," Evil answered. "I take what I want by force, kill anyone who gets in my way, and kill whoever I want because I can."

Stelle seemed to believe Evil as she took a step back. "Please tell me you're joking… because if you're not, you are honestly quite sad."

Evil was about to place his hand on Stelle's head and make her look through his memories, but he paused before he did. "...how would I be sad?"

"It's a figure of speech!" Stelle said. "You're not actually sad! You're just-!" Stelle cut herself off with a sigh. "Let's… Let's just move on from this…"

"O-Oh… Okay?" Evil was definitely confused as he's never had a conversation like this before.

"Wanna go get a bite to eat?" Stelle asked Evil suddenly.

"But this is a dream," Evil replied, not sure why they would even eat. "We don't need food in a dream…"

Stelle shrugged. "And there are plenty of people getting drunk and drinking a lot of alcohol here," Stelle countered. "And besides, who wouldn't want to try some sort of otherworldly food that makes next to no sense in terms of composition and ingredients?"

The demon was about to counter the Trailblazer's point, before his stomach actually growled. "...tch, my Saiyan cells are responding to that," Evil muttered, before quickly speaking up once more with a hint of bravado. "Very well! To a restaurant!"

Stelle smiled, as if amused by Evil's quick acceptance of them going to get food. "I guess the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach…"

"I beg your pardon?" Evil asked as he looked at her, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh nothing," Stelle replied as they walked out of the alley and to the nearest restaurant in the Golden Hour.

As the two exited the alleyway, they both walked about a couple of feet before they noticed a man and woman in a suit, whom Evil identified as members of the Bloodhound Family that were responsible for maintaining the peace and order in the Dreamscape chasing a girl with silver hair, with the silver haired girl looking scared.

"Don't even think about running away, you stowaway!" One of the Bloodhounds called out.

The girl kept running, before looking at Stelle and quickly running behind her. "S-Sorry for bothering you! Please, I need your help…"

Stelle almost instinctively pulled out a lance from thin air, and said, "I'll do my best to protect a pretty young lady!"

"Hey, look! She has an accomplice!" The female Bloodhound exclaimed.

"Good work! Now we can nab them both in one go!" The male Bloodhound said, before two yellow robotic dogs with hats and soda bottles around their collars, as well as a walking red TV with arms appeared.

Stelle's eyes widened. "New enemies!" She said, alarmed.

Evil tilted his head. "Robots?" Evil's lips curled upwards and into a smile, before he lunged forward and thrusted his fist through the TV's screen. "Well then, I should be able to corrupt you easily!"

Although the attack itself was swift and should've likely killed the robot, once Evil had removed his face from it, the TV slowly began to turn from red to a very light and almost silvery purple color, with a demonic crackling coming from it as the robot TV fell to the ground and started convulsing. A dark aura then erupted from the TV as it slowly hovered off of the ground and got onto its feet. The screen that once had a face on it was replaced by the ever familiar Time Breaker symbol used by Towa and Mira of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse games.

Evil laughed, before he clapped his hands, and the robot TV lunged and started attacking the yellow dogs.

"What in the world?! He corrupted the Mr. Domescreen?!" The male Bloodhound exclaimed.

"It's attacking the Bubble Hounds!" The female Bloodhound shouted as the corrupted Domescreen attacked and destroyed one of the Bubble Hounds, although it did become somewhat injured from the first Bubble Hound. The other Bubble Hound managed to destroy it, although it was significantly damaged as well, until Evil blasted its head off with a Ki Blast.

Stelle and the silver haired girl were surprised at what Evil had committed here, with any onlooking civilians also quite surprised and scared at what was happening as well. The Bloodhounds were alarmed due to the danger that Evil posed. "Quickly, call for reinforcements!" The female Bloodhound exclaimed.

"Bring it on!" Evil shouted, a dark red aura appearing around him. He seemed almost ready to power up, before another Bloodhound showed up.

"That's enough!" The Bloodhound said, stopping the Bloodhounds, and as a result caused Evil to pause.

"S-Sir?!" The male Bloodhound questioned as he looked at the more experienced Bloodhound.

"What's gotten into you all?" The senior Bloodhound questioned. "Open your eyes and take a good look." He gestured to the silver haired girl that was standing behind Stelle. "Is this lady the stowaway we're looking for?"

"Sir, the thing is, that young lady there looks very suspicious. We're sure she's the one! Not to mention her accomplices have shown themselves!" The female Bloodhound said, before pointing at Evil. "In fact, he managed to somehow control and corrupt the Mr. Domescreen that-"

"YOU BLOODY IDIOTS!" The senior Bloodhound shouted as glared at the Bloodhounds. "THAT'S SUNDAY'S HONORED GUEST THAT HE SAID WAS OFF LIMITS!"

"E-Eh?!" The Bloodhounds questioned as they looked at Evil, surprised and baffled.

"Return to base you fools! I'll deal with you later!" The senior Bloodhound ordered, clearly quite angered by their failure here today. The two Bloodhounds were clearly scared and worried, but they left with their heads down.

"You're an honored guest?" Stelle asked Evil as she whispered to him from behind.

Evil shrugged and whispered back, "Lego did say he bullied Sunday so our group could get a vacation here."

"Wait, bullied?" Stelle questioned, causing Stelle and the silver haired girl they saved to raise an eyebrow each as they were confused.

The senior Bloodhound cleared his throat as he looked at them. "I apologize for their behavior. I'm Gallagher of the Bloodhound family, and those idiots are some young Bloodhounds that I've been training." Gallagher sighed as he looked at Evil and Stelle, glancing at Firefly as well. "Because of their youth and inexperience, they mistook an honored guest of Penacony for a criminal... This is indeed a regrettable mistake. I'd like to offer my sincerest apology to you on behalf of the Bloodhound Family and Mr. Sunday himself."

"Didn't know I was a big deal in Penacony," Evil remarked as he looked at Gallagher.

"Mr. Sunday himself informed us about your presence Mr. Lego," Gallagher explained, although he mistook Evil for Lego. "You and all of your group are off limits, and that we were to cause no problems for your very diverse group during your stay."

"First, I'm not Lego," Evil said. "I'm Evil. Literally and figuratively. Second, are we that important? Just what did Lego do to Sunday?"

Gallagher seemed surprised. "I do vaguely recall Sunday mentioning something about a man being named Evil amongst Lego's group. But to think you were this dangerous… I can see why Sunday said we were to be on our BEST behavior and to not provoke or incur your group's wrath."

Evil laughed in amusement. "Exactly. For I am-"

"-going to relax, because we don't want to cause trouble," Stelle said as she covered Evil's mouth with her lance to stop him from saying something he might potentially regret.

Gallagher let out a small laugh at Stelle silencing Evil. "Well, as long as you don't break the Family's rules or stir up trouble in the Dreamscape, you'll be fine." Gallagher gave a small yet direct nod. "Well, I'm going to take the time to simply let you off with a warning, even if you are esteemed guests of the Family. Please, enjoy your trip in Penacony." With that Gallagher walked off, leaving the demon and trash panda with the girl they had saved.

"Thank you both so much," the girl said with a thankful and somewhat apprehensive look on her face as she looked at Stelle and Evil, her hand over her chest. "I-I'm sorry for forcing that situation onto you."

Stelle smiled at the girl. "It's alright," Stelle said as her lance disappeared into a pocket dimension. "My name is Stelle."

Evil crossed his arms and nodded. "And I am Evil. And I mean that literally, as in that's my-"

"N-No worries, I-I figured you meant it literally!" The girl said with an anxious wave as she looked at him. "A lot of people have names after concepts and such after all, so… n-no need to worry about that."

"What's your name?" Stelle asked curiously with a tilt of her head. The girl slowly let out a deep breath, before relaxing and smiling.

"My name is Firefly."


Alright, this is taking too long, fork Sunday, he's a son of a nice lady, and that muddle fudger extended this more than it should have been. Now I have a goddamn plot to make on top of the Genshin chapters. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
