Back at the Conscious World, Toby Robinson is still sleeping on his bed, but there is something very wrong with his body. His skin is now extremely pale, and he is sweating profusely, breathing quite heavily on top of it all.
He then begins to cough, a cough that would not stop even as blood is escaping from his mouth, staining his bed and clothes.
Sarah hears Toby coughing from her room, and eventually comes to check up on him. She is worried because he has been coughing for a while now, and it doesn't seem to stop.
Sarah Robinson: Honey are you okay? (Sarah asks as she knocks on his door, but soon let's herself in, and what she sees is her son covered in his own blood)... Oh my God! Toby are you okay?! (Sarah asks as she desperately tries to help him, but he would not stop coughing, or even wake up)
Sarah continues trying to wake him up, but he is not responding to her words or actions. And the coughing only gets worse, his body now thrashing about on his bed, violently coughing up more blood, and this is absolutely terrifying for his mother.
Sarah Robinson: Toby please wake up! I need to get you to a hospital! Toby please! Please don't do this to me! (Sarah begs him with tears in her eyes, the mother losing all sense of composure at this point)
Back at the Dream World, Toby slowly opens his eyes, his body still very much in pain, and he feels like crap. He finds it hard to move for some reason, but after coming to his senses, he realizes that he has been bound to the dark stallion symbol device, and lacks the strength to break free from the ropes that held him in place.
Mad Man: Don't bother trying to escape, I put a lot of my power into those ropes, you won't be getting away from me so easily. (The psychopath tells him with a big smile on his face)
The young dreamer doesn't even have the strength to respond to this, his head suffering from a splitting headache. Obviously because of the blow he took to the head.
[Cheetah Speed Deactivated]
[Big Bear Gang Deactivated]
Mad Man: Your friends are still fighting down there, but the strangest thing just happened, a bunch of them disappeared, just poof and they were all gone, isn't that something. (Mad Man informs him as he watches the battle down below, happy to see all the extra effort Toby's Tamed have to put in because of the loss of Toby's gang)
Even though they were now outnumbered by the army of corrupted dream beings. Big Papa Bear, Browny, Cheetah Woman, and whatever allies they have left, are still fighting against the overwhelming odds, not willing to back down or accept their fate.
[Browny Has Been Greatly Injured]
[Cheetah Woman Has Been Greatly Injured]
[Big Papa Bear Has Been Greatly Injured]
Toby Robinson: No, no stop it... Leave them alone. (Toby tells him weakly, too exhausted to even speak up)
Mad Man: Hmmm, nope I can't do that. Those friends of yours are really dangerous, I can't let them live, that would be unethical, and also very dumb... Tell you what, as promised I'm going to let you live, you're way more important than those guys anyway, and my master will have use for you, what greater honour is there? To be honest I'm a little jealous of you, Dreamer. My master doesn't visit me very often, in fact he hasn't visited me for a long time. Sometimes I think about looking for him, but if I go somewhere, who will be here to welcome him when he comes back, no one that's who! That's why I stay here, doing what needs to he done, and obeying his will. It's hard work, but it's so worth it. You'll understand everything once you meet him, you'll see what I'm talking about, don't worry. (Mad Man explains to him, his words filled with delusions and insanity)
Toby Robinson: I told you before... I'm not meeting anyone! (Toby tells him defiantly, his eyes briefly glowing with dream energy)
Mad Man: But why not?! You two have so much in common, you're practically one in the same... I don't know if you're as strong as he is. I mean, probably not, but you two give off the same kind of energy, or aura, or I dunno, vibe? I can't place my finger on it, but there's something that connects you two, I just can't figure it out. (The psychopath continues to ramble on, not making any sense to the young dreamer)
Toby gets lost in his thoughts, so many things are happening right now, and it's just so overwhelming for him. Could this be his last moments, is this where his journey ends?
Toby Robinson: Everything hurts... it hurts so much. The system said my body was in danger, does that mean l will die in my sleep or something?... No, no I can't do that to my family! If I leave mom and Billy alone, then I'm no better than him... I don't wanna die, I'm not going to die, I will escape from this no matter what! (Toby thought to himself with dogged determination, pulling on the corrupted ropes with all the strength he could muster)
The ropes turn red as Toby is struggling against them, becoming so tough that they felt like chains to the young dreamer, but even still he keeps pulling on them.
[Cheetah Woman Has Been Destroyed]
Toby Robinson: No... No! No! No! (Toby yells as he pulls on the ropes even harder, but still they would not break)
Cheetah Woman has just been killed by dozens of the corrupted partial dream beings, who ganged up to beat her and her goons to death. Not too far away Big Papa Bear is also being overwhelmed, but is still fighting strong with the few men he has left.
Big Papa Bear: You think you're so tough, huh?! (Big Papa Bear yells as he punches away five of the corrupted dream beings)... Well my boss is killing your boss right now! So... sucks to be you! (The big man says as he continues to fight through the overwhelming odds)
[Big Papa Bear Has Been Destroyed]
Toby Robinson: Dammit! That just leaves Browny... He can't fight them all by himself, he'll die. (Toby thought in dread at the possibility of also losing Browny)
Down below the dream bear is still fighting with everything he's got, being overwhelmed and having no more allies doesn't slow him down at all, in fact it makes him fight harder.
[Browny Has Activated His Terror Claws]
Toby Robinson: There's still time to save him, I can still save him. (Toby thought as he continues to pull on the corrupted ropes that bind him, refusing to stop until they break)
Browny is still mauling and bashing as many enemies as he can, but there were just too many of them, and even though it seems futile to continue fighting, the dream bear continues to fight.
[Browny Has Activated His Terror Charge]
Browny's fur begins to burn an ominous red, and using this boost in power he leaps into the army of corrupted dream beings, crushing as many of them as he can with his enraged might.
Toby Robinson: That's it, that's the answer. It's been there the whole time, I just have to use it. (Toby realises that he still has one more trick up his sleeve, and it could be the key to ending this once and for all)... Activate... Terror Charge! (Toby bellows as he activated the one skill he has left, his last tamed empowerment skill)
[Terror Charge Activated]
Next: Last Skill.
