[The Paradise Island Domain]
Zeus Eduardo Everest steps out of a red portal, stepping into the beach of a breathtaking Island resort. The lush greenery of this island is made even more serene by the gorgeous ocean views, and the abundant sealife.
The resort also has several modern day amenities like a casual waterfront eatery, a beach bar, overwater bungalows, beachfront suites and many more attractions. It is all very amazing, even though it is completely devoid of people.
Looking at this place, Zeus couldn't help but smile, it is all very beautiful, but he didn't come here to enjoy the view.
Zeus Eduardo Everest: Wow, this place is even nicer than before. It's a real shame, that I have to burn it down. (Zeus said as his eyes begin to burn a menacimg red)... Destroyer beam!!! (Zeus yells as he fires a powerful red beam from his eyes, destroying everything that gets in his line of sight)
The once beautiful island resort is now engulfed in flames, red flames that are hot enough to burn even on water, killing hundreds of the sea dwelling creatures. Zeus then focuses his gaze on the structures, smiling as he obliterates them with absolute ease.
In the Dream Kingdom Domain Shawn can sense that something is terribly wrong, hia domain must be under attack. And it can only be one person.
Shawn Kindle: You crazy bastard!... What are you doing in my domain?! (Shawn yells before opening a portal, and Zeus is the one who steps out of it, his face wearing a satisfied grin)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: I thought I'd have to burn down your entire domain before you would take notice. You have a lot to answer for, you idiot. (Zeus tells him before taking notice of the young dreamer)... Well I guess you found him. (Zeus said with a big smile on his face, staring directly at Toby)
Shawn Kindle: I'm sick of this, I'm sick of you and your nonsense! You can't treat me this way! (Shawn bellows in rage)
In the blink of an eye Shawn is viciously struck by Zeus, the backhand strong enough to toss his body aside, sending it crashing down to the ground hard.
Zeus Eduardo Everest: I can treat you anyway I feel like. I'm supposed to be your mentor, remember? (Zeus tells the downed Shawn Kindle, who is barely even moving at this point)... I gave you a simple order, bring me here when you found him. But no, you had to do your own thing, and make me waste my time, destroying a place I don't even care about! (Zeus yells in anger, but he quickly calms himself)... We can have this conversation later, but for now, I want to know more about him... Who are you, kid. Who do you work for? (Zeus questions Toby, now staring directly at him)
Toby Robinson: This again? (Toby thought to himself)... I don't know what you're talking about, I don't work for anyone! (Toby tells him nervously)... This guy, he's strong, I can tell even from here. So this is what that pressure feels like, it's insane, this situation is insane. But there's still a way out of this, so I should learn what I can about him. (Toby thought to himself)... Who are you, and what do you want? (Toby asks him, sweat steadily running down his face)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: Well that's a stupid question, and the fact that you're asking me means he either didn't tell you about me, or you're not sure who I am yet. Well let me make things clear to you. I am Zeus Eduardo Everest, the Dream Destroyer! (Zeus introduces himself with a menacing aura surrounding his body)
Toby Robinson: Inspect. (Toby whispers)

Toby Robinson: Geezus, is it really that bad? I can't mess around with this guy, I have to get outta here. (Toby thought to himself, quickly summoning his dream sword)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: What do you plan on doing with that? (Zeus said with a laugh, not intimidated at all by the weapon)
Toby takes the dream sword and uses it to stab himself in the foot, screaming in pain immediately afterwards, then quickly removing the sword.

Toby Robinson: That hurts so much! (Toby thought in pain, holding onto his bleeding foot)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: (Laughs) What was that all about, you trying to bleed to death or something? (Zeus asks in amusement)

Zeus Eduardo Everest: Hmm, interesting. He forced his body to absorb the dream energy around him, therefore healing himself. But why did he stop, his injuries are clearly not fully healed, yet he stopped absorbing energy... Why? (Zeus wondered)
Prince Charming, Noble and Browny have finally returned, and they all rush to Toby's side, coming to his aid.
Prince Charming: We're sorry, My Lord. That last attack was strong enough to push us some distance away, and we briefly lost consciousness. But now we're back, and we're not leaving your side again! (Charming declared, Noble and Browny both supporting him)
Toby Robinson: I need you guys to buy me some time, we need to leave this place. (Toby tells him nervously, sweat still running down his forehead)
Prince Charming: Is this a fight we can't win? (Charming asks him)
Toby Robinson: This man is a real monster, stronger than any threat we've ever faced. Don't underestimate him for a second, otherwise, he'll kill us all. (Toby warns him)
Prince Charming: In that case, Browny and Noble, you two stay behind and protect him. I'll buy you all some time. (Charming tells them)
Toby Robinson: Did you not hear what I just said, he'll kill you if you face him alone! (Toby tells him)
Prince Charming: I am the only one strong enough to face him head on, if buying time is truly what you desire, then I am your only choice... Do not mistake my intentions, I do not plan on dying this day! (Charming with determination his words, readying his steel sword)
Toby Robinson: Alright then... take this. (Toby says as he summons a dream shield, giving it to Charming)... You'll need a shield to defend yourself, I doubt it is as strong as yours used to be, but it should help.
Prince Charming: Thank you, My Lord. I'll use it to the best of my abilities. (Charming tells him with a smile)
Toby Robinson: Don't die, okay? (Toby said to him)
Prince Charming: I don't plan to. (Charming says before turning to face Zeus)
Shawn Kindle: What should I do? If I bring Silas here now, this will be even more of a bloodbath. (Shawn thought to himself, sitting down on the ground with a scowl on his face, contemplating what to do in this situation)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: Really, you're seriously sending your dream being to fight me? I'm a Dream Destroyer, what do you think I do to dream beings? (Zeus asks with a smile)
Prince Charming: I am not like any opponent you've ever faced. I am a knight, and I will protect my lord! (Charming said with conviction)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: (Chuckles) Okay then, I've got time. Show me what you've got, King Arthur! (Zeus said with a laugh)

[Prince Charming Has Activated His Royal Toughness]
[Prince Charming Has Activated His Royal Stamina]
Prince Charming: It's Prince Charming, and here I come! (Charming yells before rushing forward, his sword and new shield at the ready)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: Waiting. (Zeus said as he stood still, just waiting for Charming to get to him)
Prince Charming: He's completely open, he's not even trying to defend himself. This is clearly a bad sign, but I won't let that stop me! (Charming thought determinately, continuing to run forward)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: Bring it on, you idiot! (Zeus yells)
Prince Charming: Here it comes, you monster! (Charming yells before throwing his sword, the weapon heading straight towards Zeus's chest)
Zeus is easily able to catch the sword, snatching it straight out of the air, and holding it steady.
Zeus Eduardo Everest: Did you actually think that would... (Zeus said but is quickly cut off by the dream shield slamming into his face, Charming using the dream shield to strike the Destroyer)
The shield will always produce a force when struck, and that force is strong enough to push Zeus back, but he doesn't go down.
Charming uses this chance to run in for another attack, but after noticing the look on Zeus's face, Charming quickly realises that it would be a bad idea, and jumps back a bit.
Zeus now stands with murderous look in his eyes, just holding his nose where he was struck.
Zeus Eduardo Everest: You know what?... You're dead! (Zeus said with seriousness in his words, and a new kind of pressure exuding from his body)
Zeus moved fast, too fast for Charming to even hope to react. But Charming was smart, he had his shield raised at all times, so he was ready to take a blow from Zeus, no matter how hard he may hit.
But the power of a destroyer is nothing to be trifled with, so he punches the shield with enough force to shatter it with ease, and also launch Charming into the air.
That punch could have easily killed Prince Charming, but he was saved by the fact that the shield produced a force upon it's destruction, which was what launched him into the air.
Charming crashes down hard on the ground, but he doesn't seem to have taken much damage from the punch.
Toby Robinson: Charming are you okay?! (Toby asks as he rushes over to him, accompanied of course by Browny and Noble)
Prince Charming: I'm ashamed I couldn't buy you more time, this man's strength is on a whole other level from mine. (Charming explains as he struggles to his feet)
Toby Robinson: It doesn't even matter, that guy drained almost all of my energy, I don't have enough to open a dream door anymore. We're stuck here. (Toby tells him fearfully, the situation looking pretty dire)
Prince Charming: What about the dragon? His strength might be comparable to this man, could he not serve as a distraction for us to escape? (Charming suggested)
Toby Robinson: It's very obvious that these guys want the dragon, and we know for a fact that they're both strong enough to take him down. We can't carelessly bring him out, we have to be smart about this. Also based on his attitude, Clockwork would most likely kill all of us before attacking them. (Toby explains)
Prince Charming: True... But then what do you suggest we do, if we can't fight and cannot flee, what other option is there? (Charming asks)
Toby Robinson: We talk to them, and hope that we can come to an understanding. (Toby tells him, not sure about this plan at all)
Prince Charming: Do you think that will work? (Charming asks with uncertainty)
Toby Robinson: I don't know, but we have no choice but to try. (Toby tells him truthfully)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: Are you ladies done gossiping yet? Because I'm getting tired of just standing here. (Zeus tells them)
Toby Robinson: I want to negotiate with you, I am willing to give you what you want, but you have to leave us alone afterwards. (Toby tells Zeus, really hoping he would agree to this deal)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: Do you even know what I want? I don't think you do. (Zeus replied doubtfully)
Toby Robinson: You want the dragon, right? The time dragon I stole from that guy. (Toby says as he briefly points at Shawn's direction)... I am willing to give him back to you, just let us go. (Toby tells him)... I don't see myself beating this man, he's too strong. And I can't waste too much time here either, otherwise I might wake up and return to the real world, and leave my dream beings alone with him, he'll obviously kill them if I just leave... I feel pretty bad about handing over Clockwork, but this is a very serious situation, I can't do anything stupid. (Toby contemplated, already decided on handing over Clockwork)
Zeus Eduardo Everest: It is true that I want that dragon, I won't deny that. But you, kid. You're equally as valuable. That is why I want you to surrender yourself and everything you have to me. And if you don't, I will destroy every single thing that you own, and still take you with me... It's your choice. (Zeus tells him with a menacing smile, his eyes glowing red)
Toby takes a moment to absorb all of this information, at first he is shocked and confused, but that doesn't last, he knows about people like him, villains whose only goal is to get what they want, and trample anyone that stands in their way.
Toby knows that there's no point in reasoning with such a person, there is only one option available to him now.
Toby Robinson: Guys. (Toby said to his dream beings)
Prince Charming: Yes, my Lord. (Charming answered)
Toby Robinson: We're taking this guy down, no matter what it takes. (Toby said with an intense glow in his blue eyes, now more determined to beat this man)
Next: The First Day.
