Zödra

I am in my room, I fly up into the air and head for Mongolia. As I am flying I decide to Zoom teleport instead of flying and get there really quickly. I land at near someone that looks like it could be the great Khan himself. I have a FA to my house, kind of, more like just a quick flash back to it and I am standing near my bed. I close my eyes and fall back to the ground, instead of mirroring out the other side where I want, I get stuck in the ground and appear right behind him.
“Is it you? Or is it just a clone?” I ask. He is startled and turns around, pulling a sword out. Startled, this is definitely the clone, the dreamer I know wouldn’t be very easy to startle. Fire flies out of nowhere from his direction. I have no way to deal with this unless I use powers! I jump behind a tree. Summoning my sword from my hand. I need to pick a stat to counter this fire. He doesn’t seem to have a limited amount of fire, completely unlimited fire, maybe unlimited breath? I dunno… I realize that my sword has been set into the ground and a hole has been created, not like the acid eating away at it, but like a teleportation ring, I wonder where it sends me. I jump in and realize that it just goes where I want it to in a 50 meter radius, but since I hadn’t decided a place, it just shot me 50 feet up in the air… I can’t survive a fall like this unless I use a stat or a non normal ability… stat… Arms max everything! I summon my sword, realizing that the ground teleport actually is my sword when it hits the ground and after use, it unsummons my sword. I use max precision and max strength to toss the sword into the ground and land in it. My momentum carries with me, so I have to choose the right place to teleport. I pick a tree around and choose that to teleport out of at him, I should be slowed down enough by the time I hit the ground with the angle. I land in the teleport and out the tree, but my angle was a bit too high. Instead of hitting the ground right before I get to him, I am heading right at him. He turns and sees me, I summon my sword and we clash swords, I push him back with the extra strength. Each time our swords clash, mine is much stronger, he learns quickly how to redirect it, and starts throwing fire at me, I realize that with his fire in this close range, I can’t hope to win. I toss my sword on the ground and jump down, appearing right behind him. I punch him in the back and he goes flying. As he flies away, he turns towards me and lets a huge wave of fire, enough to kill me if I don’t dodge. I take off away from him and my hand pushes off a boulder and I fly way faster than the fire, towards… nothing?! I realize that I am heading towards a black emptiness and I fall down into the void and back around to the other side (imagine falling out of orbit). Apparently we are on a small 50 meter by 100 meter floating platform, a plain with a few trees on one side and something that looks like mustafar on the other side, only 2 meters high (50 x 100 x 2).
I summon my sword. Mustafar could kill me, I just use it to teleport to the other side. Not much momentum, so I just come out of the other side a little ways away from Khan. I throw my sword at him. He gets his sword hand rattled, I do a quick summon and teleport to him, summoning my sword again. I know this seems tedious, so from now on, I think I will just leave it out, it flows as a quick clap clap, or just a clap if I need it. He raises his sword, but with the already off balanceness, I grasp his sword and take it from him.Chopping his head off. 7 copies of him pop up all around me and I swing both swords, chopping all the heads. Doesn’t seem to be working, but he might just be healing or something like that. I notice that they are dissipating and throw my sword down at the ground one last time, I push myself through with my arms, giving me tons of momentum, and appear right behind the last clone. He dissapears and I hear a wave of fire. I notice that all the trees are burning and something is burning through the whole area. I also notice that the huge thing we are on is now floating around a world, not just void. I found this interesting, but the fire is coming from every direction and I fall to the ground and punch through the ground, falling through to the mustafar side, when I almost land, I put the two swords together and raise them up high. I swing down with all my might (maxed out speed and strength) and just the wave of energy cuts the thing we are on in half. I am temporarily suspended between them, but then I start drifting towards one of the sides. I see Khan coming at me, his neck has healed mostly. I get on all fours and use my arms to send me across to the other side. When Khan jumps across he sends a huge amount of fire that way too. I use my sword (which I realize now is the only sword I am holding since the other one broke from the use of it (Maybe it was an ability I used of it to extend and cut that thing in half, but I don’t know). I set my sword down and leave a teleporter under me, waiting for the last moment. The fire reaches me and is almost consuming me, but then it fades, thanks to my arms shielding me and the Khan wrapped in fire, is trying to deliver a finishing blow. I am getting badly burnt in all places but my arms, and my eyes can no longer see. I wait until the khans fire first comes at me and I block with one hand and grab the portal with the other. The block throws him off balance and when I teleport through, I come right behind him and punch through the fire shield and reach his heart with an arm stab. The fire subsides (I can feel) I consider this battle won, so I heal myself and see where I am. I am stuck between the three pulls of gravity, so I reach my hands out and let fire spew from them, completely incinerating the two things, then I crush them into bits with some TK energy and there is nothing left of them. I float down to the world. It is constantly changing and shifting. I think it is because the idea of so many dreamers shaping such little dreamscape. I put my hand on the world and imagine it 10 times bigger, I can’t tell a difference, but the one city I was near is actually seven different cities far apart and changing much less. I also think about some old newspapers from Zödra, 1 million. The population of the world. That is all. I don’t think it was there before with my ideas of Zödra, but it is now. Lots less people, more places. This should keep the dream world from destroying itself. I might have to add more people later, but meh, a max of 1 million should be good. It might dwindle with all the killing that is likely to ensue with all the people realizing that it is a dream, but I can always add more later. I step into the closest city and no one seems to notice me, everyone flying and no one working anywhere. I need to make sure that we cement the currency, don’t know how to do that yet. Alarm goes off.

I am in my bed. I fly out of the wall and head down to the forest entrance. I know what is usually around here is a bunch of temples and shrines, but this time it should be different. I run through the forest. I keep hearing a loud thud and keep running towards it. I can’t see anything though. The thudding is getting louder and louder and I am having trouble keeping up, I use some dream control to run faster and remind myself not to use any dream powers unless I can’t beat the beast. I finally see it. A giant spider. Weird, no, this isn’t it, but it is made completely out of wood and more like long branches wound together, like a vine made of huge trees in the shape of a spider leg. I climb up a tree and am a far cry away from reaching the monster, it is about 300 feet high, I can not make it that high on my own. I’ll try something else. I keep running until I get in the way of a leg, not as hard as you would think. I grab ahold and when the leg goes up, I let go when it was moving quickly upward and springboard up towards the bottom of the spider, it is also a mass of trees. I spin as I get there and pull out my sword. Making a large hole in the bottom, my sword still has some abilities I know not. It is about 10 feet by 4 feet and grab ahold of a small viney tree that is dangling from the mess I just created. I swing myself in and it is hollow, still really big, it is a natural mechanism, must be controlled by the giant. I run towards the front. It takes a few minutes, but there are no doors and the entrances are about 50 feet high, a really big spider fortress, there are some big tables and things, all created like the spider. I ignore them a lot and make it to the front.
The giant is sitting in a opening looking out towards the giant forest, I can see all sorts of mountains, the whole place seems to be a lot less populated than the area I am actually at, I imagine that this is what Zödra, Japan looks like. Smaller villages, but the same technology. I notice that the giant has his hands on the wood and it seems to be going out of his hands, he must be creating this stuff. He is using a ability really well, this could be difficult. I doubt he has the ability to animate objects, just create and control. I decide to chop off his arm and realize I don’t have my sword anymore. I put my hands together and resummon my sword, there is a noise, but the sword isn’t there, I do it again and it summons, it must need to be unsummoned and then summoned if I am not in control of it. Interesting. I run at the giant and am gonna knock off one of his arms when the term giant sinks in, he is about 50 feet high, (by my guess, hard to tell with him sitting down, and I couldn’t cut off his arm without alerting him because I can’t reach the 20 feet where his shoulder is at right now. I jump up and aim for the wrist, he is alerted right before I jump and turns, his hand lifts up and I sever the wood connection coming out of his hand. Instantly the whole right side of the giant spider stiffens up (he needs a connection to control it at all, interesting) and he lifts his hand back, points it at me and sends all sorts of tree vines my way. I slice them up, but I am losing my footing with the spider falling down. I hit the ground, the spider is falling, our descent slows and then we crash pretty softly into a clearing. I jump up and see that the giant has taken off running. I take off and realize that I was correct about the whole “size equivalent to speed”, because it is a dream, he isn’t slowed down by his mass, he moves the same amount of ground I would make if you compare the size of our bodies. I notice that I lost my sword again, so I put my hands together and unsummon it for later use. I take off running and decide to use my other ability. MAX STAT! I choose my legs, their stats get maxed out until the end of the dream with no negative repercussions. I take off running and easily catch up to the giant. He is running through a long clearing in the woods and turns around to face me. He yells and slams his hands on the ground, I am waiting for something to be made when I realize that he must have sent it under the ground. I jump up at him and tons of tree vines flow out of the ground at me a second too late. I am going in a straight line at the giant’s face and he lifts up his left hand to block. I pull my sword out while flying and swing at his arm, expecting it to be completely severed. My sword slices into his arm and gets stuck, since he sent out tree vines from the part of his arm that was cut, a very strong power, stronger than the acid like blow of my sword when severing something. He swings his arm out and it throws me across the glade. I am headed toward a tree, I still don’t want to use any more powers, so I shift as much as I can to plant my feet on the tree while it hits, the tree bends and with the max stat on my leg I am able to time the jump perfectly when the tree bends back and sends me back at the giant, I make sure to not use max power so that I land right before I get to him and jump again. He puts his right arm in front to block, and send out a tree vine, but I use my legs to jump straight through his legs and behind him, He turns around quickly, but as he is turning I stay in his blind spot and jump into the air, the 50 feet needed. As I am at the peak of my jump, I leave my sword in front of me and kick it (it is a white katana, so I kicked the side of the blade that isn’t sharp), the strength way stronger than my own and the surprise attack makes it soar through his neck as thick as it is, with no retaliation. I am super excited to have won and am planning on landing on his shoulder and riding that down.
His shoulder shifts off as I stand on it, the entire outer layer of his skin is falling off, made of the same tree vine thing that was coming out before. Revealing a much smaller giant (about 35 feet high) that was inside of him. I jump up off of the falling tree vines and aim for the head of this fiend as he steps out of the other shell. I unsummon and summon my sword in an instant and pile it down into the head of the giant. This also sheds like the previous one (about 20 foot giant) and I am too off balance this time, I land on my feet on the ground, but he is turning to face me, sending tree vines at me. I throw my sword at him and he pulls his hands up and jumps at my sword. I run at him and jump at his head. The sword lands in his arm, but without causing damage since it was just normal speed and all. My feet hit his head and knock him to the ground, my feet still in his face, as they are sending him to the ground. I unsummon and summon my sword as I am falling to the ground, my feet crush his head in and it also is just made of the tree vines and a 9 foot tall man sits up and jumps to his feet, he doesn’t seem to be made of wood this time since his movements are more fluid. He jumps at me and I set a foot on his chest while his long arm reaches me, He grabs my shirt and I kick him away. He lands against a large tree and my shirt is ripped off painfully. I jump to the tree and slice his head off neatly. The body fades away and the old man steps out.
“Why are you here?” I ask, but I already know the answer. I put him there, he wasn’t actually the giant or controlling the giant, but in my need to see him, he inserted himself into Zödra in the only way I let him. He looks at me and smiles.
I put my hand on his head and try to do scan on his mind. I only am able to get a static that he seems to be emanating. Is he already doing scan? Or maybe constantly doing scan? I ask him a question in this state, where our consciousnesses are out and thoughts pour out instead of words.
The first couple of questions I did forget, but I know that one of the answers was something about me having many dreams that I have forgotten and that is how things have transpired this way in Zödra. I then get to the question I care about the most.
“How can I be lucid all the time?” I say aloud and he moves my hand off of his head and puts his forehead on mine. I am flashed instantly to Infinity. I haven’t seen it in a long time, I have drawn pictures of it, and tried to get there many times, but it is still magnificent. The houses are gone now, there is just the square plots and a black stemmed red rose in the exact middle of each plot.
"You must be like the flower if you wish to stay" He says to the younger version of me, standing next to me. The younger version doesn’t seem to notice me, and winks out of existence after a few seconds of spinning and rubbing his hands. I realize now that infinity is controlled by the old man and that the version I saw before was just remnants of the dream from before, this time I was seeing infinity as it actually is, the square plots leak out in every direction instead of just left and right. There is nothing on the horizons, there is just the square plots in the reality, or in this filter of reality.
“You will always be like the flower, so you must change the flower” is the best translation of what I felt when he looked at me. I understood immediately and infinity snapped out of view. I was with the old man in the clearing in the woods. I looked around, knowing what I needed to do. I turn around and look at the place. It looks very similar to near my house, except that at this angle there are no inhabitants or dwellings, just forests and mountains as far as the eye can see. I turn around and don’t even notice until remembering this that the old man was gone. I can see the wrecked giant spider in the background and lots of the tree vines all around the area. I decide to teleport to my dad, even though I love the beauty of this place. I close my eyes and fall backwards.
Instead of hitting the ground, instead of hitting the ground, my eyes are open and I am coming up from my back inside my parents basement in the exact opposite motion that I just made falling backwards. My dad is on me in a flash.
“Who are you? He isn’t this strong! You have made a mistake.” He says as he points his finger at me, I don’t really know what powers he has, but he is more powerful than most opponents I think, but I am not limited right now. I flash behind him.
“It is me, I just am a lot stronger than you remember.”
He laughs and points another finger at me, I teleport onto the roof in front of him and then teleport a few more times instantly.
“I need to find Jason” I say, coming up with unpredictable places to be.
“If you are really Sensei, then he already told you where he is at.”
“Yeah, the internet, this doesn’t help me.”
“He is always on the internet.”
“So I should send a message there?”
“No, you should meet him there.”
Of course, he used scan to upload a version of himself onto the internet.
My dad uses scan and flashes right behind me the instant I flash somewhere. I pause time. I can’t let him know I can manipulate time, so I move it to extremely slow, I walk next to him and whisper in his ear “You are nowhere near fast enough to follow me.” I realize that at that speed it would be complete and utter nonsense, So I pull it back and create a little audio box in the air, invisble to all but me, I set the speed to normal speed and I connect it to my dad’s ear. Then I stop time completely and post online.
“At the school, meet me there.”
I fly over to the school that I first learned Jason’s name and it takes me a little bit to get there, there is still somehow a mass of people flying there, but they are all paused. I wait for Jason for about a minute before realizing that time is stopped for him as well. I turn time back on and get a notification that my dad got my message. Haha. weird dream. I look around the group of people for someone that stands out and I see Jason, yet again with that air of confidence.
“I want the internet.” I tell him.
“I told you how to get it before.”
“Uploading tons of memes of myself. Yeah, that isn’t true.”
“It is close to the truth, but it won’t work because I am already on there.”
I realize that he must be putting part of his consciousness on the internet at all times, so I double my consciousness (instead of split), it is hard to keep track of both bodies at once, but I needed to leave one there and keep the other one there to make sure that Jason doesn’t leave. With scan I am able to hold out my phone and feel Jason’s presence in there and what it should feel like to be in the internet. My other body flies around the internet until it connects with Jason’s other body.
“I am stronger, because I am a full consciousness in here and you are only half a consciousness at most.” I tell the fragment. It is impossible to dislodge the fragment and it seems to have a lot of countermeasures.
Me #1, standing next to Jason near the school needs to take action. The Jason inside of the computer is like a dream program. I need a passcode to dislodge it. I touch his head and look for the part pertaining to the program and he tries to run away, I freeze time for a second before he breaks the connections. I get the password “Zaspel”.
Me #2 in the comp says the password and the other Jason inside, dissipates.
Full consciousness program, something like Jason’s, but with my will. I set an easy set of moves and if anything tries to stop it, it has my full consciousness again. I check the wording. Check the idea and then let it go.
Send the message “This world is a lie, and you are a dreamer here” is sent to every electronic device every 10 minutes.
I wake up.
