I get beat up....

Rating : ★★★☆☆
Date : 19th May 2010
I dreamed I was in my room. It was normal here. I couldn't tell it from real life. I was busy doing preparations for the trip to Alaska. I packed my clothes and stuff, inside a teapot. They all just shrank and zoomed inside the cup, fitting easily. It was almost like magic. But that was normal. Teacups are used as suitcases in real life anyways, I thought. I also remember putting in a toilet seat inside, for some purpose. When I had finished, I went out out my room. In real life, I have made a mental note to do an RC every time I open the door to my room. Following the habit, I look at the wall clock that hangs near my door. 1:30 pm. Quite normal. Oh yeah, I have to look twice. Almost lazily, I looked again at the clock, thinking that it was a waste of time. The time was now 1:15. Hmmmm, that's odd. Maybe I read the time wrong before? Oh well, I will miss my bus to the airport if I don't hurry. So I continue out again, but I find that the door is closed. I pull it open again, but no go. Now seriously doubting reality, I decided to nose-pinch. I could still breathe!
I become lucid. I tried to sharpen my view. I spun around. I didn't feel dizzy, but my vision was certainly a lot clearer, as if some kind of fog had been lifted. I looked at my hand, just for extra lucidity. There were seven fingers in both hands. Again, my lucidity increased quite a lot. I open the door to my room again, but it was locked. I didn't want to do anything particularly powerful or exciting so early into the lucid. So I just kicked it away.
But I was now inside a roman stadium. I was never good at history, so I probably didn't know what was going on. There was an audience in high benches all around. There were gold fences around me, but the arena itself had a floor of dirt, mud and clay. In the distance I could see split air-conditioners all around. Good. I don't like being in hot weather anyways. I was wondering what to do, when I noticed that the walls of the arena had cages inside them, and there were large tigers caged inside. They were wearing black and gold armor, and quite heavy ones at that.
Suddenly, a stage comes up with a commentator on it. He grabs the microphone, and shouts, "Battle of the warrior! Start the fight!"
Cool. Just what I wanted. Even my dreams know my preferences.
The bars of the cage disappeared into thin air. A lump of raw meat landed near to me. It was a bait. Smelling the meat, the tigers in heavy armor rushed at it. One of them took the meat and swallowed it whole. Now they were looking for food elsewhere, and spotted me.
My dream was destabilizing. I can tell when it's so because it starts to slowly fade/blur around the edges and then disappears whole. So I rubbed my hands. The faster I rubbed, the more the dream became clear. At last when it was clear enough, I did the nose-pinch RC again. I could still breathe.
The tigers were now circling me. I summoned my katana from thin air, expecting it to be in my hand when I look at it again. I decided to name it Darkness. If you look upon the description, it fits, really. It slowly materializes. But now there is something wrong. It feel heavier than before. There are black flames already around it. What?! I didn't do anything yet. Also, it was harder to control than before. It started to vibrate a little. But when I touched the sword, I really felt a kind of sadness and a thirst for killing. When I put it away, it was gone, but as soon as I held it again, there was that feeling again. And all the time there were black flames wrapped around it. Strange. True I had it only once before, but why is it so weird?
All this time I was pondering about my sword, the tigers were standing still, as if time was frozen. Now everything snapped back to reality. Dream reality, more like. I decided to fight using my sword, and just ignore the unusual behavior.
One of them jumps at me. What was that guy thinking? I love special effects during my dreams, because they are the only times I get to do stuff I can not do in real life, and I try to take as much fun from them as possible, not start meditating and go around asking my DC's or even Leona about life. Get to the point, fighting. I am a pretty peaceful guy IRL, y'know. 
The tiger is now an inch away from me. I slash him, but the only thing my eyes can see is my hand blurring for a millisecond, and then back to the normal position. So this is what it felt like to have supernatural powers at will. A deep slash appears on the tigers middle, and he drops, making weird noises in pain. I take pity on him, because even if he's a DC, I don't like killing animals. I look away from him, and back again. Now he is completely cured, and small as a kitty. He meows a thanks. I said out loud to him, "Now go away before I unleash my passion of kicking kittens."
Though I was kidding, he fled. I realized I couldn't fight the others. I just don't like animals in pain. So when I look back at the whole bunch, I expect there to be a large number of skilled ninjas. My best technique is the expectation technique, because it always works for me. Indeed, there are about twenty or so ninjas now. One of them comes at me, wielding a white katana, which is more like a dagger. I disappear, and appear behind him again. My favorite move. He hangs in mid-air for a second, and then his body splits cleanly in two. If I made them all like real men, there would have been a lot of mess, so I just make dust shadows. Fun to kill, and they don't make a mess. 
His body turns to dust and disappears. Enraged at the fall of their comrade, they all rush at me in sets of five or four. Too easy. I was going to use flash step again, but at the last moment my sword felt real heavy and started to vibrate quote violently. What's wrong with this thing?
PS you might be wondering that how come my LDs are so long? Well, a picture's worth a thousand words, so divide all that text by thousand and you get a frame of the whole video clip. In short, it takes much more typing to describe the dream than it takes to experience it.
Now the ninjas are dangerously near me. But I don't care. I can fight without my sword as well. I punch the one in the front in the face, and he flies back a long distance, hitting a wall and slumping to the ground. I beat all of them in about five seconds, and that includes the other ninjas as well.
I was still in that same old Rome style arena. And the audience was still there. With the ninjas out of the way, I decided to check what was wrong with my sword. It was still emanating that dark fire, and still was heavy and vibrating. The more I looked, the more there was to see. To give you guys an idea of what my sword is like, here's a pic:

But my sword is pure black instead of shining metal like the one above. I had never looked at my sword up close. There was the silver line along it's middle, alright. But now near the hilt, and on the blade, were engraved small words, reading "Espada el Diablo", literally meaning "The Devil Sword". Something to do with Bleach, I thought.
Suddenly, a sharp pain pierces my back. I got shot! No wonder I did, standing in the middle of an arena looking at my sword. I looked at my attacker. He was Dante, from Devil May Cry.

What the HELL?! I DO NOT play Devil May Cry!
"Surprised?", he says. "I figured you would be pretty strong, having defeated Nero."
So that's what it was all about.
"Wait, you got the wrong....."
He suddenly fires on of his guns at me. It was a direct aim at my head. I use my other favorite, rather instinctive move, tilting my head slightly to one side. Why, you ask? Because it looks cool.
"I have got no time to kid around, and I don't take shit from anyone except cute girls. Just fight already."
"As you wish."
I stabilize my dream again, just to be sure. That way I won't drop unconscious in the middle of the fight.
"Just to warn you, I am not that Nero guy. I am way ahead of him."
I see. No matter, I will defeat this guy as well.
I wait for him to make the first move. He suddenly appears on my right. What?! He was in front of me! Wait, he is still there! Two of them? The main one fires two simultaneous bullets, which I barely dodge in time. The copy, which I took for as being weak, kicks me hard in my side. It hits me, and I go flying over, smash into a wall, and fall to the ground. What the hell is with this guy? It's not like I am that weak or something, but this is damn crazy.
Instantly, he is standing by my side. He points a gun to my chest.
"I told you, I am not Nero."
He fires, aiming squarely for my heart.
A flash of blinding white light follows the blast. In real slow motion, I see Leona, in a dark cape, fly between my a Dante. Moving lightning-fast, she grabs the bullet heading towards my head in mid-air with her finger and thumb, then grabs me and flash steps a distance away.
Now I notice that she is also wearing an armor of some sort. It's black and purple. Nice combo. She smacks me on the head.
"OW! What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"You are pathetic. Asking for a DC that powerful and getting beat up."
"Hey, I didn't summon him, he came by himself."
"Yeah, and you didn't long for a strong opponent all this time, did you?
"Well............."
"Tch...............what an idiot. Can't even control your own emotions."
She disappears from beside me. Now she is face to face with Dante. I get up to help, but my body is paining to much to even stand up. I feel a kind of vibrating and a burning sensation.
"Just stay where you are. I'll take care of this guy."
Hearing that, Dante says, "I'm sorry missy, but I don't really fight with girls. How 'bout we get a nice drink instead?'
"Don't underestimate me." she says, glaring at him. In third person, I saw her eyes contract to cat-like slits, her expression angry and cruel. Her eyes were red again.
She disappears from view. I deep wound appears on Dante's right hand. He drops his gun in pain.
"I told you, don't underestimate me."
Leona is behind him! He quick jumps back a good distance away, grinning.
"I see what you mean. Sorry, but I'll have to go all out against you. No hard feelings, 'kay?"
He disappears, and so does Leona. They are so damn fast, I can't even see them. All I see is just faint blurs, bursts of Dante's gun, and sparks of light. They finally stop. Dante is on one knee, panting. Leona is still unhurt, and is smiling. Dante gets up.
"I'll have to use my ultimate technique."
Suddenly, there are ten Dante-s all around Leona.
"This enables me to make copies of myself, each as strong as me."
They all open fire. But Leona is too fast for all of them. She defeats each and every single one of them in a flash.
"Copies, eh?"
Now there are countless Leona-s there. They all are moving independently. One of them says, "Then how about this? This is time control. Each and every one of these is me. That's because to you, I am here."
Another one says, "And I am also here."
Dante is standing in shock. He can't begin to comprehend anything. Time freezes. Or rather, Leona freezes time. But there are about 20 more Leona-s there. What the HELL?!
One of them says to me, "I am freezing time every time I freeze time, creating loops of time freezes. That way, each and everyone of myself is behaving independently, is controlled by me, and can attack more than twice at once. My ultimate technique."
This is too much for me to grasp. All of the Leona-s jump up, and send a huge wave of energy at Dante, who is frozen.
I can see the instant the shock waves hit, and then feel the power. One of the shock waves, when I was hit by it, split my body nearly in half when Leona used that move. To think a single person would receive over 20 of those. The explosion was unfathomable, and Dante disappears, totally wiped out by the extreme explosion.
I was losing control and vividness. I knew I couldn't hold on, the pain was too great. That was a powerful blow.
"Hey Leona! Just tell me one thing, are you my DG or someone else's as well?"
"Ah, you are worried after reading those posts on the forum, are you?"
"How'd you know that?!"
'I am your subconscious after all. But no, it's definitely not possible for two people to have the same Dream Master, thats coz DMs are manifestations of you personality."
"Really? Does that mean my personality is girl-like?"
'What an idiot! Don't you see any other quality besides being a girl? Never mind. I am only your subconscious. Yours only."
"Sounds more like a love confession, you know."
She punches me in the face. But there is a smile on her face.
"Thats another couple of week's of hell training for you!"
"Wha..........?"
I couldn't do anything anymore. I feel my whole body shaking, then vibrating violently. I try to rub my hands, but nothing happens. I feel like I am floating in a void. I don't remember anything after that. Dozed off to normal sleep, I guess.
