Night Terror

"Dude are you alright," a voice echoed," you took a real hit there. The names Darren what's yours," Darren asked. There was a heavy pressing motion on the child on the ground's chest. He opened his eyes to see Darren, a grey colored humanoid with with some weird silver colored hair. When he made an s noise a small snake tongue stuck out but didn't hiss. Instead it seemed to be inspecting the air for something.

"Um. Hi? My name's," the child said as he hesitated," I don't know who I am."

"Oh that's easy," Darren said," you're name's Vince, I think."

"Alright, hi my name's Vince," Vince started again. As he tried to stand up his head rung. He fell back down and rubbed it.

"Yeah better be careful you went," Darren said as he slapped his hand down on the ground.

"Where am I exactly," Vince asked.

"You're in Dreamscape a land of imagination. This is your home, mine, and plenty more. I'm a Dreamscaper I help keep Phobias from attacking kids and making them afraid of whatever the phobia is a phobia of." Dreamscape looked like something out of, well, a dream. Platforms of rock and stone and dirt floated around in space. A house or two sat on large platforms and far out in the distance a large building towered above it all.

"Wow this place is huge," Vince said as he looked around.

"If you love that you'll love this," Darren said as he held out his hand. Vince grabbed it and Darren helped him to his feet. His head still rung and he used Darren as support while the world seemed to tilt around him. "I knew you'd still be dizzy. Go ahead use me as support. Don't need you falling down there. Darren pointed to a large black platform hundreds of feet down. Stone carved into the shape of skulls scattered the ground and a large spike covered building rose out of the ground.

"W-w-what is that?"

"That, Vince, is the part of Dreamscape we Dreamscapers dare not enter. Now come on Sasalina will be waiting for you."

Everything flew by her as Rainbow Dash continued to test her limits. Faster, faster, faster. The clouds became blurs and the mountains seemed to flatten into twigs. When suddenly she struck something. She spun out of control and smashed into the side of a mountain.  She felt dizzy and something warm seeped from her forehead. She tried to move but she didn't have the strength. She lost consciousness and felt her body go limp.

"A good specimen she is indeed Mother Nature, once again you have done a magnificent job," a muffled male voice congratulated.

"Thank you Father Time, I try so hard to please 'him'," a muffled female voice said. The way she said him made it sound like she hated this person. Rainbow opened her eyes slightly and saw a man in complete black towering over her. Next to him was a woman, with goat legs, and three eyes. She also towered over Rainbow. A loud bang rang through her head as a door flew open revealing a black figure. On their head was a white skull without a bottom jaw and three eye sockets, each with an eye. The top jaw had two large ridged teeth on either end. Horns protruded from either side and a large circle with a line through it was etched in pink on its chest. A tail protruded from its skeletal body and it's fingers and toes were sharp without any muscle.

"So this is the creature you promised," it spoke with a raspy voice.

"Yes Boogeyman," Mother Nature nodded.

"Then we can begin," Boogeyman said as as he grabbed Rainbow with one of his hands, picked her up, and threw her across the room.

The building Darren had taken Vince to was huge. Everything was so well organised on the inside. Halls were tidy with different portraits and statues on either side. Doors had names above them but as they turned a corner Vince came face to face with a cat woman. She wore a brown coat of some kind and her fur was navy blue. Her eyes seemed to glow yellow and she smiled the kindest of smiles.

"Vince this is Sasalina, Sasalina this is Vince," Darren introduced.

"Hello Vince you must be the one I sent Darren and Vendetta to retrieve," Sasalina said. Her voice was soft enough to put a dragon to sleep.

"Vendetta? I didn't meet her," Vince said.

"Of course she was the one that got you into dreamscape," Sasalina said. "You're still young, which is good," Sasalina began to observe Vince. He was bright purple wearing a ,slightly to big for him, dress shirt, pants, shoes, and a tie. His eyes were completely white and his hair was ruffled beyond belief. "Darren could you show Vince to your room? I need to bring the Phobias we have out for reformation exercises."

"Sure can do Sasalina," Darren said as he turned back around and started walking the other way. Vince followed looking back one last time as they tirned the corner.

"You said she was of Dreamscape origin," Boogeyman yelled as he smacked Mother Nature," you said you created her! But you didn't," Boogeyman shouted as he clawed at her. Father Time lay in a heep on the other side of the room. Blood seeped from claw marks and from parts of flesh Boogeyman had torn off. Mother Nature was crying as Boogeyman continued to beat her, claw at her, and kick her. Boogeyman picked her up and slammed her against a wall repeatedly before dropping her to the floor. "Disappoint me again and we'll see hat happens!" Boogeyman left the room and slammed the doors behind him. Rainbow laid, sprawled across the floor. Her rainbow mane was a mess, well not a mane anymore. Instead it was hair, human hair, but she felt like a pony, she still had her wings. Problem was, if she was human, she had no clothes on.

"I'm sorry little pony, I-I-I thought I could use you as a way to prevent any more damage to me or my husband," Mother Nature whimpered. She created a bra and underwear of leaves out of thin air and handed them to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow struggled to figure out how to put them on. But Mother Nature helped her and she was soon no longer naked. "I really am, i'll even help you out of here," she said as she used vines to break a hole in the wall. "Hurry before Boogeyman returns." Rainbow flapped her wings to make sure they still worked then took off. Behind her she heard a loud scream and then silence.

"So this is my room," Darren said as he opened the door to his room. It looked like a normal child's room. Toys, clothes, posters, and of course a big bed that was far to big for the child.

"Woah cool. You have posters of everything here, Freddy Fazbear, Pilot, Timeline, even Radioactive."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah! This is so cool!"

"Thanks Vince."

"Will you two shut up in there. I'm trying to sleep," someone yelled.

"Who was that," Vince asked.

"Just cranky ole Jasper. He's not very friendly to kids," Darren replied. Vince felt his stomach grumble and he realized he was hungry.

"Um Darren i'm hungry, can we get something to eat?"

"Sure thing Vince."

Rainbow's wings ached as she continued to fly up. Her body was in pain and she felt as if she were going to give out any second and fall to her death. Suddenly she was caught on something and felt as if she had become thrity times lighter. She couldn't see it but something was moving her towards a large building. At the entrance stood a creature in a white cloak holding a staff with a three pointed object at the top. On his forehead were three dots and the creature looked sad. "Do not fret young Rainbow Dash, I am here to help you."

"Where the hell am I? And how the hell did i get here," Rainbow asked.

"You're in Dreamscape and you were brought here through the will of a greater power," the creature seemed to mutter.

"Alright mister cryptic," Rainbow yelled," mind giving me your name?"

"I am Tybalt."

"Well Tybalt I don't know who the fuck you are but I ain't gonna stick around. So send me back home."

"I fear I can not. I do not have the power."

"Alright then who does?"

"I'm rather interested into how you got here, please come inside young Rainbow Dash." Rainbow's eyes narrowed.

"How do you even know my name?"

"Our archives. I can show you them in time. But for now lets get you properly clothed." Tybalt motioned Rainbow inside. His mask scared her. It always looked sad and never changed. Rainbow walked into the building and followed Tybalt. He motioned her to a room that said storage overhead. He opened it to reveal a large room with coats, shirts, pants, a chest marked under garments and more.

"Mother Nature, you have not only failed me again but aided a creature in escape," Boogeyman yelled. Mother Nature was on her stomach covered from head to toe in burn marks. "You are standing on thin ice woman. Give me one reason I shouldn't turn you to dust." Mother Nature tried to speak but instead groaned. "Very well Mother Nature, you brought this upon yourself." Boogeyman lifted her up and slammed her against a pipe. The pipe exploded sending a blast of hot air into Mother Nature's face. Slowly he drove her into the air, scalding her until burn marks became dried out skin which peeled away. Her muscles crumpled and snapped as they dried up. When all that was left was her skeleton he pulled away the skull and crushed it. Then threw the rest out a window. Landing with a satisfying crack.

Mother Nature appeared in a pure white room with two buttons. One read, continue as a Phobia, the other read, continue as a Dreamscaper. Mother Nature reached out and touched the continue as a Dreamscaper button. She then pressed it and watched as a bright light engulfed her. She awoke on a platform in Dreamscape, alive and intact.
