"Well... I'm ready," I say weakly as I tie the duo up with void whips. I knew that these wouldn't hold for too long, but, thanks to Celes' chains, they didn't have to. I then press the button to teleport myself, and the rest of my team, Kamina included, back to the guild. Once back, I say "Ugh... Celes... maybe you should handle this for a while... I'm not in the best condition for this right now," after that, I head down and towards my team's room. For some reason, it felt as if it had already been ages since I last slept here, and yet, I was certain that I did so earlier today. I shake off that feeling and pass out on my bed. I then started to have those same dreams about that weird place, yet, this place seemed familiar now... was it possibly... that oddity from earlier? It sure looked like it was, but in the dream, there was a giant, towering, snakelike figure in the distance. Those two crooks were there too, yet, they smiled as I passed by instead of attacking me. "We've weakened him, now go! Finish him off!" I hear the chermeleon call out to me. Finish who off? What universe was this that I was WORKING with these jerks!? Either way, I had little control over what happened next, and saw myself running towards the giant figure, but... before I could attack, I was thrown into some sort of portal, which led right to the guild, and next to Celes and the tied up duo... what the heck!? Sure, it didn't make any sense, but, then again, I've heard that dreams typically don't make much sense, if any. The dream sort of just stopped right there for whatever reason, and I kept on with my now-dreamless sleep.

"Thank you all for showing me the way out," Darkrai said to my team. This time, however, he sounded normal, and seemed to have a rather deep voice instead of his old, raspy voice. Terra then turns towards Josh after he asked about Blaze, and, with a worried look on her face, she runs off, presumably back to the basement again. I didn't really feel as though she needed any additional help, so, I stayed right here with the weird old dude. "I've been trapped in that place for years... only just surviving off of the elder's dreams... funny thing, I was just passing through as a tourist, back when this place was a tourism hot-spot," he then laughed, but, said laugh was cut short when a certain victini showed up. "YOU!" The elder shouted. The elder then ran up to Darkrai, and continued with "Don't you know where your place is, monster!? Get back in the basement, you horrible fiend!" Darkrai answers with "You don't understand! I mean you no-" he was cut off with the elder saying "I understand plenty! Those nightmares you caused, and those lies about you just 'wanting to pass through town', pffft, simple, easy to see through illusions, just like what the rest of you dark-types use to make others think you're not evil! I know better, though, I'm not so easily tricked, not so easily..." the elder went on and on about how evil dark types supposedly were while Darkrai simply flew off, and Daniel just continued to look angrier and angrier. I had to hold him back from attacking the elder a couple times, and thankfully, he stopped trying to attack the man after that.

"Hey, Tini, we could really use some help over here!" I call out to Tini, who still seemed focused on the aipom, instead of the scrafty who just showed his face by using hi-jump-kick and then acid, thankfully missing William with his hi-jump-kick and smashing into a tree, instead. I, after going over my moveset in my head, decide to try to use attract on the scrafty, his masculine voice giving away his gender... well, that, and the fact that he was seen earlier with a female kirlia, whom we are now helping. This would at least make a decent distraction, and, seemed to work just fine, with him making some sort of stupid-face at me that I could only assume was 'love'... of course, the scraggy family was never known for their expressions, but instead, their habit of spitting bile at their enemies. He seemed as though he was trying to attack someone, but instead just looked over at me some more, as if I was some sort of beauty queen or something. I then think my options through again, and remember that bite can leave enemies open for attack. That being my only option, I run right at him, and bite him right on the hand... of course, he hardly seemed to notice, and I ended up in some sort of bramble bush, with the spiky plant leaving a few balls of spikes stuck in my fur. Obviously, I didn't stay in there for long, and unfortunately, almost every movement was now coupled with some sort of spike-based pain. I then started to think if there was any possible way to use this as an advantage, but laughed at the idea, and started trying to take out some of the spikes... I had to do this one at a time, and gave up whatever attack opportunities might come up, soon.
