A man is being dragged out of his house by some police officers, he is yelling and screaming at them, but that only makes them treat him even harsher.
"Let go of me you pigs! How dare you do this to me, Karen! After everything I've done for you! You'll pay for this, you hear me! You'll pay! (The man bellows in rage)
"Shut up." (An officer says as he pushes the man into the back of their car, and then shuts the door behind him)... What a nutjob. (The officer says as he watches the man kick and scream in the back seat of the car)
"He won't be hurting his family anytime soon... Let's take him away. (The other officer said to his partner, before they both get into the car and drive off with the enraged man)
The man's family watched all of this in complete silence. Even though they saw the officers take him away, they still can't believe that he is gone, but will it be for good this time, they wondered.
"I promise you guys... That man will never hurt us again." (The mother said to her two children, and one of them, is Fred Clover)
Meanwhile with Toby Robinson and his three dream beings, they have almost reached the creepy looking house, but it took a long time for them to even reach this point.
Toby Robinson: (Breathes Heavily) Man, this is taking forever! (Toby says as he takes a moment to catch his breath)
Prince Charming: There must be some magic at play here, My Lord. We are moving a lot slower in this place. (Charming explains in a tired state, with Browny and Noble showing signs of fatigue as well)
Toby Robinson: The system did warn me about this. (Toby thought to himself, remembering the message he had received from the Dream System)
[Warning: Corruption energy detected, this could potentially be a problem]
Toby Robinson: Corruption energy must be like poison to Dreamers, it makes us weaker somehow. And since Charming and the others are also tired, they must be affected by it too... Thinking back on my encounter with the red armour guy, he used corruption through his chains, and then I wasn't able to heal... I must be careful of this power, it is my one true weakness. (Toby contemplated)

Toby Robinson: Guess I'm on point with my assumptions. That's good to know. (Toby thought to himself)
Toby and his dream beings have finally reached the front door of the creepy house, and now it is on Toby to decide on what to do next.
The young Dreamer slowly stretches out a hand, wanting to open the front door.
Prince Charming: Wait. (Charming says as he grabs Toby's hand, stopping him from opening the door)... Before we do this, can you tell us what we're going up against. At least then we can be prepared for this foe. (Charming asks him)
Toby Robinson: Oh... It's called a Wraith, it's kind of like a ghost, but with long sharp fingers. All I really know about it is that it feeds on fear, and uses that to get stronger. (Toby explains)
Prince Charming: Hmm, feeds on fear you say. Well that seems easy to counter, we have no cowards here afterall. (Charming says confidently)
Toby Robinson: Right you are, Charming. Now let's take down this Wraith! (Toby says as he swings open the door, but then they are all blinded by a bright light)
The red light is so bright that everyone instinctively shuts their eyes, unable to open them. But then the front door is suddenly slammed shut, and the red light disappears.
Toby is finally able to open his eyes, and finds himself inside of the house. The living room he is in is dark and quiet, but the place looks very tidy, the plasma tv on the wall being the only thing that is even damaged.
This actually surprises Toby to some extent, he expected the place to be a lot scarier on the inside, but it all looks normal. But the eerie silence kind of makes up for that.
Toby Robinson: Is everyone okay? (Toby asks as he turns back, quickly realising that he is alone in this place)
Toby rushes to the front door, and tries to force it open, but the stubborn door refuses to be opened.
Toby Robinson: Oh, trying to divide and conquer huh? Well that's not going to work when I have tamed summoning! (Toby confidently said)... Summon Prince Charming, Browny and Noble! (Toby yells out)
[Tamed Summoning Failed]
[Corruption Energy Interference]
Toby Robinson: Damn it! (Toby yells)... Okay then, I'll just blast the door off it's hinges! (Toby says as his eyes begin to glow)... Dream B... (Toby suddenly stops, hearing something behind him)
Toby turns back, his glowing blue eyes looking around for the source of the noise he heard. The sound came from a room not too far away from the living room, and it sounded like a whimper.
Toby Robinson: If horror movies have taught me anything, it's that you never investigate strange noises. But I can't just stand here either... (Sighs) If that thing tries to jump me, I'm gonna blast it in the face. (Toby says determinately as he walks forward, heading towards the room door)
Meanwhile outside of the creepy house, Prince Charming and the others are desperately trying to get in, but the door isn't damaged by any of their attacks.
Prince Charming: We all took turns trying to break this door, and there's still not even a scratch on it. (Charming huffs after he brought down his steel sword, unable to comprehend why the door just wouldn't break)
Browny: We have to get in there! The kid could be in danger! (Browny roars as he slashes at the door with his energized claws, but no damage is still done)
Noble: We've been at this for too long, let's find another way to get in. (Noble suggested)
Prince Charming: Good idea, Noble! Let's... (Charming says as he turns back, a serious look appearing on his face as he spots something in the distance)... That is no ghost. (Charming says as a drop of sweat rolls down his forehead)
Not far from the house stands a humanoid figure, having the appearance of a large intimidating looking man, whose body is made dark by the black sinister smoke that is eminating from his skin.
"My house... My house." (The monstrous man spoke in a ghostly tone of voice)... Get away from my house! (The man then bellows, his voice now booming with rage)
