[You Have Gained 45 Dream Points From Killing Multiple Butter Ants]
[50/100 Dream Points]
[56/100 Secondary Dream Points]
Toby Robinson: Woah, woah, woah! (Toby yells as he and Browny both fall to the ground, thanks to all the butter from where they just came from)... Remind me to go back there, but next time with a lot of bug spray. (Toby jokes as he sits up from the ground)
"Huff!" (Browny sounded in displeasure, not liking all the butter on his body)
Toby Robinson: Don't worry you don't have to get up. I'll carry you this time... Tamed Holding! (Toby says as he stretches out a hand)
[Tamed Holding Activated]
Browny's body once again breaks apart, becoming particles of light which all enters Toby's body.
Toby Robinson: I'm getting good at this. (Toby said before he stood up, but almost slipped in the process)... I'm not too buttered up so I can walk. But where am I now? (Toby asks as he looks around, perplexed by how realistic this domain looks)
The day was dark and the city was bustling with cars and people, this was the complex design of this domain. Toby has never seen a domain with real people before, they all spoke clearly, their cars honked, and they laughed and argued just like real people would. With nothing weird to indicate that this was a dream domain.
Toby Robinson: This domain is awesome! It's just like a real city. (Toby said with a big smile on his face, very excited to explore this new location)
"Get off the road, you moron!" (A man yells as he slams his car horn, screaming for Toby to get out of his way)
Toby Robinson: Oh, sorry! (Toby said as he got off the road, allowing the car to pass)
"Freak!" (The man yells before speeding off in his car, leaving Toby even more surprised by how realistic this place is)
Toby Robinson: What should I do now? These people are dream beings, but I can't just attack them. They look so, human. (Toby thought to himself, before realizing something).... Wait a minute, if these are really dream beings, why haven't I gotten a message from the system? I've already encountered some of them, so the message should have popped up by now. (Toby wonders)
Just then a bright light shines into the air, casting the silhouette shape of a horse shoe across the skies of the city. Once the light appears in the sky, everything and everyone stops moving, almost like time has come to a complete halt.
Toby Robinson: What's going on? (Toby asks as he stares at the faces of the now frozen people)
[You Have Encountered A Strange Power]
[Be Wary]
The message from the system has put Toby on edge a little bit, but then he focuses on the beacon in the sky, and suddenly remembers what it is.
Toby Robinson: I know that signal, it's the Dark Stallion Symbol! (Toby yells in surprise, shocked to have forgotten such an an iconic sight)
The Dark Stallion is a comic book character who fights crime in Dark City, the city that knows no rest. Dark stallion comics are something Toby read a long time ago, so long ago that the character isn't even considered cool anymore.
Toby Robinson: Okay, now I get it. This domain is based on the dark stallion world. Which means at the top of that building, is Dectective Hornswoggle. (Toby thought with a smile)
As Toby is making his way up the building, he keeps thinking about the warning he got from the system. This was the first time he has seen such a message, so he decides to get ready for anything, prepared to release Browny if necessary.
Toby climbs up a lot of stairs, and eventually makes it to the top of the building, where the signal was coming from.
Toby opens a door and steps into the roof of the building. There he saw a man waiting, standing next to the large projection lamp that shines the symbol into the sky.
[You Have Encountered A Strange Dream Being]
[Be Wary]
[Name: Detective Hornswoggle]
[Race: ????]
[Level: Low Grade Dream Being]
[Skills: ????]
Toby Robinson: Okay, that's a bit strange. But at his level he's barely even a threat to me... I'll just see where this goes. (Toby decided after thinking about it a little bit)... It's nice to see you, Detective. (Toby said in a charismatic manner)
Detective Hornswoggle: Huh? Who are you?! (The frightened dectective asks as he takes a couple steps back)
The detective is a middle aged man, who wore a black coat and a hat, just like he did in the comics. Toby knows the good detective is probably expecting to meet up with Dark Stallion, not some teenager he has never seen before in his life.
But he already has a plan for this situation, and puts the detective at ease with this reply.
Toby Robinson: I am the Dreamer! The Dark Stallion sent me to aid you in his stead. (Toby answered confidently)
Detective Hornswoggle: The Dreamer? But Dark Stallion works alone, he would never send someone else to defend this city, especially a kid. (The detective argued)
Toby Robinson: It's true in normal circumstances he would never entrust anyone with the protection of this city. But he had an urgent matter to attend to, a matter that... Umm, could ruin his personal relationships. So he sent me instead. (Toby explains to him, hoping the detective would buy this story)
Detective Hornswoggle: Personal problems huh? I understand, afterall he is just a man, forced to clean up the filth of this city. (The detective spoke somberly)... So what are you, his sidekick or something? (Hornswoggle asked)
Toby Robinson: Heck no! I'm my own hero, I'm just doing this to help him out! (Toby explains)
Detective Hornswoggle: Very well then, let's get down to business. (The Detective said as he brought out a folder, containing information on the criminal he is after)
Toby Robinson: Whose causing trouble this time? Cheetah woman, Night mask? (Toby asks as he approaches the detective, so that he could get a closer look at the file)
Detective Hornswoggle: It's Big Papa Bear, him and his gang have been robbing a lot of banks lately, and no one can stop them. They usually strike at night, and with Big Papa's strength the vaults are nothing but a hard workout. They don't take a lot, but it's enough to leave a dent. (The detective explains as he shows Toby the file of the criminal, displaying his mug shot)
Just then a loud explosion erupts from somewhere across the city, the blast so big that it could be seen from the building they were on.
Detective Hornswoggle: That must be them now, you have to stop them! (The detective tells him)
Toby Robinson: Aren't you coming with me? (Toby asks him)
Detective Hornswoggle: That must be them now, you have to stop them! (The detective says again)
Toby Robinson: So is that a no, or? (Toby asks)
Detective Hornswoggle: That must be them now, you have to stop them! them! them! them! (The detective repeated in a creepy and distorted manner)
Toby Robinson: You know what, you're absolutely right, I'm just gonna get out of your hair now... Don't wait up! (Toby said as he quickly moves away from the dream being, heading back down the stairs)... Something is definitely wrong here, I have to be careful. (Toby thought worriedly)
Next: Big Papa Bear
