I was standing outside the biodome. A spaceship landed near me. It opened and then a cat man got out of the ship. He was acting really strange. He was smoking something. It looked like a joint.
"Drugs…" I said, "Seriously? I thought we were going to help MoSh! You can't do that if you're wasted!"
He said he had gotten distracted. He put out the joint and threw it on the ground. I shot him a disapproving look for littering up the moon. I didn't have to say anything. Nomad made his joint disappear. I asked him if he was ready to go check on MoSh. He said yes. I used Through the Never and focused on opening a portal to find MoSh. A portal opened. Selene appeared and went through. A portal opened and Basara came through. He said if there was going to be healing needed he would come along. Nomad and I followed Basara and Selene through the portal.
On the other side we were in a bedroom. I could vaguely make out MoSh. The rest of the room was a bit fuzzy. What was crystal clear was a dark figure standing over MoSh. The dark figure was drawing energy out of MoSh. The figure looked up at me. It was an older man with gray hair in a black suit with a black fedora hat. He was old but he didn't look weak. He had black stuff dripping from his mouth as if he had been eating something out of MoSh. I told the dark man to step away from the bed or prepare to have his ass kicked. He laughed at me in a menacing manner. While I was watching the man Nomad had circled around behind him. Nomad now tackled the man and shoved him through the far wall of the bedroom. I looked over at MoSh. He was surrounded by a dark aura. Basara said he would start the healing but I might be needed outside. I phased through the wall.
Outside I saw Nomad grappling with an old man. Nomad was part jaguar and fairly large but the old man was holding his own. Selene was slipping blasts of moonlight into the fray. Nomad finally got hold of the old man by a leg and swung him around a couple of times before throwing him to the ground. I immediately used Battery to hit him with a bolt of lightning. He was blasted hard and turned into a mist of some kind. I used Damage, Inc. to flame the mist. Nomad added more fire and Selene hit it with more moonlight blasts. The mist was vaporized.
The three of us teleported back to the bedroom. Basara was playing and singing while white energy flowed through MoSh. Nomad said we should take him to the Healing Glen. I went over to MoSh and carefully lifted his dream body from his sleeping form. Nomad opened a portal and we went through it into the Healing Glen.
On the other side the Crystal Golem met us. He looked at MoSh. He took MoSh from me. He said we all needed to be cleaned up. I used Full Moonlight on the others. Nomad played with his didgeridoo to send healing energy through me. The Crystal Golem took MoSh into the cave. I followed him inside. He lied MoSh in a bed of grass. He said MoSh would need a special mixture for his healing. He described the ingredients needed for the mixture. I did a double take as MoSh got up… or at least part of him did… A second MoSh got up just as his dream body got up out of his physical body. I was staring at that. MoSh said this was his dream body… what was lying on the grass was his astral body… uh… It didn't make a lot of sense to me. MoSh and Nomad headed outside. Basara was playing a song for the sleeping MoSh. I turned to follow Nomad but the Crystal Golem stopped me. He said he wanted to speak to me.
I stayed back with the Crystal Golem. He looked at me closely. He said he has seen that I have a very deep seated parasite that is continuously infecting me with its dark energy. He said he could see it there but normal healing methods do not reach it. He said regular healing methods will get rid of the main symptoms but they leave the cause. I told him I am aware of it, and I have been searching the different worlds for some way to get rid of it permanently. I told him that many ideas have been tried, and some seem to work for a while, but nothing lasts. He said he wanted to make sure I was aware of this parasite. He said he had an idea of something that might help, but he would have to look into it further. I thanked him for helping me. He returned his attention to MoSh.
I left the cave and saw Nomad face to face with a huge snake. The snake was a cobra, raised up with its hood spread and prepared to strike. An attack? Here? As I came out of the cave the snake turned towards me and hissed loudly and violently.
"You chose the wrong place to attack, serpent!" I yelled at the snake as I formed Witchblade into a sword and attacked the giant snake. The snake immediately took to the sky. I managed stabbed my sword into the snake's tail as it was taking off and I was pulled along with it. I don't think the snake even noticed it had been stabbed. "Come back here, you flakey jerk!" I yelled at the snake as I was pulled into the sky.
"Wait!" Nomad called from down below, "That's MoSh!"
"MoSh?" I asked, more to myself than to anyone. I retracted my Witchblade sword back to a bracelet and fell from the snake's tail. I landed in front of Nomad. "He's a snake?" I asked Nomad.
The giant snake flew through the clouds and then returned and landed in front of us. He transformed back into MoSh. I felt a bit stupid. "Sorry about that," I said, "I thought you were attacking us. I didn't know you could transform into a snake!"
I heard something. Not with my ears. In my head. Someone was calling me. I could hear it. I told Nomad I had to go. I used Through the Never and focused on getting to where I was being called. A portal opened. I wondered if someone was being attacked. I formed my Witchblade armor and jumped through the portal.
On the other side I was flying somewhere. It was hard to make out much. I saw someone there. I looked closer to see that person. He looked familiar. Pablo? I asked what was going on. I asked if he was ok or if there was trouble. He didn't answer me. He was watching me. I looked around to see if there was trouble. I saw a couple of strange black forms moving closer. I used my sword and hit them away. I looked back at Pablo. He was trying to open a portal now. I went over to him. I said we could go to the moon. He opened a portal. I looked through it to see where it led. I was losing the dream. It had been going on for quite a while. I told Pablo I would try to find him again. Everything around me faded to black as I woke.
