Nazar was back in the normal world.

He found something which he never expected.

“That bastard...”

“What happened, Nazar?” Emma asked as she tilted her head in confusion.

“Solace?”

“Nothing. Sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

Nazar took a deep breathe as he looked at Emma.

“Because he has my brain, he has all my memories and my old consciousness(?), he is a little conflicted. And more than that, he also has Zerathos’ consciousness as well. And of course, he has his own consciousness. So, he is a little conflicted.”

“Little is an understatement,” Laura said.

“Ah, what about mom and dad? Awaken them.”

Nazar tried to awaken them in the same way but it was not working.

“I can’t.”

“Hm?”

“Its like he was letting me free you guys.”

“Damn it!”

Emma took a deep breath again.

Nazar tried to find a way to try and bring everyone back from the ‘Dream World’.

As for Solace, she was still trying to take care of the planes that were flying around the globe.

“Oh. I just noticed something.”

“What is it, Emma?” Laura said as she tilted her head to the right a little.

“Why are you here? And why are you wearing that weird panda pyjama--Wait, is this what I think it is?”

“Yes,” Solace said. “They have been dating for a month now. If you want the exact number of day and hours and minutes, then let me know.”

“Oh my, you have finally become a man,” Emma said to Nazar.

Nazar gave her a blank look.

He then sighed.

“Nah, seriously, I never expected this to happen.”

Laura just smiled.

“Can you do something --khsss-- these planes, Nazar?” Solace asked.

“Okay.”

Solace has never malfunctioned. So, Nazar was kind of confused but he needed to take care of the problem first.

Nazar released another energy ball. It covered the whole world in a few seconds.

Within a minute or so, he managed to teleport all of the planes to a safe place.

“Couldn’t you just do that by yourself?”

“No. My calculations --khsss-- being messed up.”

“Ah?”

“I don’t know… my data is --khss-- accessed. So, I am --khsss-- to self destruct.”

“WHAT?!”

“I don’t --khsss-- the power is --khsss-- too great. I have --khsss-- up the data--khsss-- should have no --khsss--”

She lost her physical form and was now in her N-Sphere form.

"Solace?"

- N--khsss-- -

Solace vanished into thin air.

And Nazar could no longer ‘feel’ her.

Nazar closed his eyes and searched for Solace and also his weapons and armours.

“Um… What the fuck just happened?” Emma asked in a confused tone.

“Damn it!”

“And more than that… are you not taking this whole thinking too lightly?”

“Well… she did destroy all of my armours and weapons with herself. Those are very dangerous so she destroyed it with herself. Though, I still have the data so its alright.”

“Why do you have weapons and armours?”

“Well, I created it so it can help me fight stronger people… Actually, I made it because they look cool.”

Emma sighed.

“So, what happens now?”

“No idea.”

Nazar had a few ideas as to what he shall do.

He can destroy that whole world or he can kill his brother and be finished with it. However, he thinks that this power might end up inside someone else. And what if it is someone even stronger or someone eviler? Theoretically, they could enslave the whole universe with this power.

“So, are you going to even save them?”

“Of course.”

“That’s good. That’s good.”

Laura yawned as she sat next to Emma on the bed.

And Nazar noticed something.

“Ah, that could work.”

Laura and Emma gave him a confused look.

He touched his head and he was fast asleep. He put himself to sleep. And unlike before, he was actually asleep.

He was about to fall to the ground but Laura caught him before he did. Not because it would hurt him but because he might accidentally destroy the floor and they might fall over.

However, she was wrong.

“He is so light. I thought he would be heavier.”

“Wait, really?”

Nazar was super light. And even if he fell to the floor, it would not get destroyed. And also, because he turned off his powers before he went to sleep.

Nazar woke up after 30 minutes.

He opened his eyes and he was looking at Laura’s face. He was a little confused but he put two-and-two together and knew what happened.

“Well, that was pointless.”

“What do you mean?”

“For some reasons… I did not go to that world.”

“Do you know why?”

“No, not really--Hm? That could work too… I think.”

“What is it this time?”

“Can you go to sleep? I will use that as a way to go to the Dream World.”

“Okay.”

Nazar sat up and placed his hands on Laura’s face.

Nazar’s eyes lit up with purple energy.

He went inside her mind.

Laura’s eyes lit up with purple energy as well.

He recently changed the colour of his psychic energies. He has been using blue for a long time. He thought he might change it.

He then put her to sleep.

Now, he could have done this without putting her to sleep but this time he wants to do differently. Last time, he did not have a lot of power in that world, but this time he thinks he might be able to stay there for long even if the Dreamer kicks him out.

Furthermore, he thinks this way he can retain more of his powers in that world.

When he put her to sleep, she entered the Dream World and Nazar followed her.

As soon as he entered that place, the Dreamer sensed him.

The Dreamer appeared before him.

“What do you want, brother?”

“So, you are in control now?”

“Ah, yes.”

“Can you let these people go?”

“I can’t… I don’t know how to.”

The Dreamer raised his right hand to his face.

“I don’t know how much control I have over my own body. I try to fix this… but I don’t know how to do it. ‘He’ is keeping it a secret from me. And I don’t know how.”

“Let me help you.”

The Dreamer was actually surprised.

“But I can’t help you in this world… come to the real world and I might do something about it.”

“I will do--ngh-- why does he get stronger whenever you are around? Just get out of here!”

Nazar’s hand twitched and both Nazar and Laura came back to the real world.

“So, what happened?” Emma asked.

“I am not sure… I guess we will have to wa--”

Nazar trailed off because he sensed someone. Someone who was still not in the dream world.

And that person was very close.

Nazar immediately phased through the wall and appeared before the one other person who is still awake.

“Jake?!” Nazar sounded surprised.

Jake was moving very slowly.

“What --ngh-- what is happening?”

He was struggling to talk.

Nazar placed his hand on his head and he was fully awake now.

“Thanks. But do you know what is happening?”

“Interesting,” Nazar said as he stared at him. “You used your psychic powers to stop yourself from going to that world, right?”

“Yes. I was about to give up but then I remembered you. It took me a long time to get here.”

“Come in.”

They both entered the house.

“Can you stop staring?”

“I am not staring at you, I am staring at your energy.”

Jake was a little too confused.

“Your psychic energy… it is different from mine.”

“Huh?”

“Can you do something for me?”

“What is it?”

They entered Nazar’s adoptive parents' room and they were fast asleep like everyone else.

“Okay place your hand on their head and see if you can awaken them.”

“I am not sure...”

“Just do it.”

“Here goes nothing.”

He placed his hand on of their heads.

“Now reach deep inside their minds.”

Jake did as Nazar said.

“It is empty. It’s all dark in here.”

“I know. Now, focus your energies and go through that dark place until you reach a grey area. From that grey/white area, you will enter the Dream World and ‘pull’ them out of there.“

“If you couldn’t do it, then how am I going to do it?”

“Just do it.”

Jake did as Nazar said.

After a few minutes, he was able to pull both of them out into the real world.

Jake was more surprised than anyone else.

“What happened…?”

“Emma will tell you what happened.”

Nazar and Jake left the room.

“I am confused… what happened? How was I able to do it and not you?”

“Maybe it is because your psychic energy is purer compared to mine… But also because I think he is ‘blocking’ my energies. Though, I can change it myself… but it should be easier this way.”

“And who is ‘he’? And how is he blocking your energies?”

“My brother. He is the one who is doing this.”

“Um… What?”

“Long story.”

Jake sighed.

“So, what do we do now?”

Nazar smiled.

“Are you ready to have a massive power boost?”

Jake has no idea what to say.

“Only for a few minutes.”

Jake sighed.

Nazar placed his hand on Jake’s head and his eyes lit up with purple energy.

The Dream World:

Everyone was there. It was a dark place. No one could do anything.

In this dark place, they heard laughter.

A burst of sinister laughter.

“Humans, welcome to my world.”

A voice reached their ears.

And then a figure appeared.

He was floating above them.

“I am the Dreamer. Nice to meet you.”

The world around him changed.

“We are going to have fun here.”

Everyone found themselves in a garden. There were beautiful flowers, fruits, trees, animals and more. It was the ultimate beauty. There were plants, trees or animals that only existed in the dreams of people.

A few kids were playing with a pink unicorn.

A dragon was moving above them. No, it was not a bad dragon. It was a good one. A nice dragon. And some people were riding it.

People were smiling and laughing. It was a perfect scene.

The god above them smiled. It was a thin smile.

He raised his right hand and covered his right eye.

Between the gap of his fingers, his eye could be seen a little.

As his smile became wider and wider, his eye changed colour.

He had red eyes now.

And all of a sudden, the peaceful and beautiful world changed.

The blue sky turned red.

The dragon above them flipped and everyone riding it fell to the ground.

People started seeing ghosts, dead bodies, blood, zombies and so much more threatening them.

On top of that, the dragon then threw fire out of its mouth.

The dragon then shot itself towards them… but something else happened.

KRAKABOOM!!

They all heard thunder. A powerful thunder.

And as they looked up, they saw the person they call Norse God.

He shot a massive bolt of lightning towards the dragon.

As the dragon got hit, it shrieked in horror.

The Dreamer appeared above him.

“Ah, the Norse God. A being who was powered by a demon until a human with the power of a god saved him. And you also have utilised the power of multiple Norse Gods. Very interesting.”

Norse God was a little surprised.

(How…? Doesn’t matter now.) Eddie thought.

He shot himself towards the Dreamer. He had no chance against him but he did it anyway.

Besides shooting himself towards the Dreamer at full speed, he was also through raging thunders towards the Dreamer.

He was about to hit the Dreamer but he dodged.

As soon as he dodged, he was hit by a lightning strike.

“Argghhh!?!?”

Eddie was confused and surprised.

(Did… did that really hurt him?)

The Dreamer was hit by another and then another strike.

As he was getting hurt, the world went back into darkness.

(People are getting out?)

After a little while, Eddie stopped hitting him with lightning.

The Dreamer recovered a little.

“How?” The Dreamer seemed surprised as well.

“Yeah… I don’t know.”

The Dreamer thought about something for a minute.

“Maybe I am not that durable?”

Eddie punched him in the face and the Dreamer did not even feel the damage.

“Hm? Can you shoot me with another lightning please?”

“Okay?”

Eddie did as the Dreamer asked.

“Arghh!”

“I am confused,” Eddie said as he scratched his head.

“I think I am close… Can you hit me with lightning but this time… maybe silent?”

Eddie closed his eyes and focused his energies.

He managed to shoot him with a silent lightning strike.

The Dreamer was undamaged.

“So, ‘sound’ is my weakness? Interesting.”

Eddie’s mind went completely blank.

“Maybe it is because ‘sound’ is one of the biggest reasons why people wake up?”

Eddie sighed.

“I guess it is not as weird as Alan Scott’s weakness,” he said under his breathe.

Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern’s weakness was wood.

Eddie then started hitting him with a massive bolt of lightning. Over and over again. And the Dreamer cried in pain.

People started to ‘wake up’ in the real world.

Real world:

Nazar has increased Jake’s powers significantly.

Jake’s power was now covering the whole world.

He was inside the mind of everyone on Earth now.

And he was trying to pull them all out.

Dream World:

Eddie has been fighting the Dreamer for hours.

He has only been using thunder-based attacks.

The Dreamer was in pain.

He tried to fight back, but the ‘sound’ of thunder hurt him a lot.

And the more they fought, the Dreamer lost control over more and more humans.

After a while, the whole world was empty. Just the Dreamer and Eddie.

While he was still hitting him with thunder, the Dreamer finally stopping crying in pain.

“You do know, I was a little weak earlier. I had to keep control of all of them… so, I was not using my full power.”

His face was ripped in half with a smile.

“But now I am. Now, I don’t have to try and hold the others in. And I used our fight to learn a thing or two about my world.”

Out of nowhere, something wrapped itself around Eddie. He did not know what it was, but he was hurt by it.

“My control over this world has gotten much better.”

Eddie tried to break free but he couldn’t.

He tried to use thunders but it was not working.

“There is no such thing as a ‘thunder’ in this world anymore.”

(Damn it!) Eddie thought.

However, something else happened instead.

Whatever was holding Eddie in one place loosened a little.

Eddie was surprised but he took the opportunity and flew up.

The Dreamer raised his right hand to his right eye.

It went from red to brown.

“Get out of here… I keep losing control--”

“Life is so bad.”

He started speaking to himself.

And Eddie was very confused.

“I just want to die.”

“Shut up, human. I am a God now.”

“I… I am just --ngh-- I AM JUST A HUMAN!”

The Dreamer could no longer control his energies.

He unleashed all of them and the whole world changed.

It became peaceful again.

He waved his hand and Eddie was thrown out of the Dream World.

Only the Dreamer was inside the Dream World now.

He was all alone.

“I am a human.”

“I am a human.”

He said it very slowly.

“Mom… Dad… Where are you?”

His voice started to tremble.

“WHY CAN I NOT FIND YOU?!?!”

He fell to the ground.

And the scenery changed around him again.

This time it was different.

There were two little boys. One a little older than the other.

And there was a woman and a man.

They were standing on a beach, looking at the sunset.

“Mom… Dad... Where are you?”
