Spike's Dream
(Just pretend the one hitting everyone is Spike, you don't have to watch it, it's more for a laugh than anything, and I don't own the video or the music.)
??? P.O.V.
The scenery is moving past me slower and slower with every second. Or is it me that is moving slower and slower? I think that is the case. Why is my feet not touching the ground? I hearing flapping coming from my back. 'Oh yeah, I'm flying.' I think to myself. I'm so tired I can barely think straight. How long have I been flying? Hours, days, weeks? Where am I? I look down and see a small forest below me. No it doesn't matter, as long as I'm as far from her as possible. So that she won't get hurt. So that she wouldn't have to see what I have become. My vision is getting blurry. Well, blurrier than it was a few minutes ago and the ground is getting closer. It's getting harder to think.
'I...can't.... keep...going.' Is my last thought before the darkness consumes my vision and the feeling of cold water hits my skin.

Spike P.O.V.
I groan to myself as I search through my backpack while inside the moving truck. After basically giving the cliff notes of our adventure last night and getting a lecture about planning better and how to be more careful in dangerous situations Mist and I got ourselves clean up and got ourselves a quick breakfast before the four of us hit the road again. I'm dead tired right now and I really need some sleep but I'm worried that my nightmare will come back. Luckily I have something that should help with that. I bring out my iPod that was my birthday present I got from Cadence. I've learn that if I fall asleep listening to my music I'll get weird dreams and right now I'll take those over my nightmares. I put the earphones in their proper places, chose a random song, and put it on loop as I close my eyes to fall into slumber.
Spike's Dream
(Just pretend the one hitting everyone is Spike, you don't have to watch it, it's more for a laugh than anything, and I don't own the video or the music.)
"Hey Spike, wake up." I hear Mist say to me while shaking my shoulder, causing me to wake up from my dream. In all honesty I was glad he did, I wasn't looking forward to fighting an army of Pikachus, though it was fun punching that Hello Kitty regent. I look at my watch and see that it is two o' clock. Meaning I got around five hours of sleep. Not the recommended eight hours of sleep but it should be enough to get me through the rest of the day. I look towards Mist and he says, "We're stopping here to stretch our legs and cook some lunch."
I nod my head as I put away my iPod as I got out of the truck and stretch my body. As I am doing this I see Jack run up to Mist and I. When he is in front of us he tells us that his father wants us to go into the woods to get some firewood while he checks over our weapons for any damage from last nights adventure. I'm glad that Mr. Firehammer is willing to do so since my replacement sword is really old and I want to keep it and use it as a memento of Mist's and I's first adventure together. We agree and make our way to a nearby woods to start getting firewood.
"That was some crazy adventure we had last night, huh?" Mist says as we walk.
I quietly chuckle to myself. "No kidding. We end up going from rescuing a woman from bandits to teaming up with a Changeling Mix theif, exploring an ancient crypt, and fighting ancient warrior zombies. If someone told me over a week ago that was going to happen to me I would have thought the guy was either crazy or high."
"Don't forget that bear sized spider." Mist mentions as he gives a shudder. "I almost peed myself when I saw that."
"No kidding. Talk about a horror show. I rather fight the zombies than that thing. Speaking of which that last one was really tough." I say getting serious. "We're luckily that the three of us were working together and even then it was close. One wrong mistake and we would have been dead."
"Yeah but that just means that we got to train harder and get stronger." My friend says with a smile. A smile quickly grows on my face as well. I was about to say something when I notice a white rabbit hop out of the bushes. Now in this kind of situation many people would awe at it and say it was cute but the rabbit was different. It had a small horn that sort of looks like a unicorn's horn and had red eyes. I am getting a really bad feeling from this thing and I can tell that Mist is thinking the same thing. After a quick glance with each other we silently decide to slowly walk away from the thing before anything bad happens. We manage to take two steps back when the rabbits eyes start glowing. The thing grows to a size larger than a bear, now has razor sharp claws, and fangs as long as a combat knife. On instinct we try to grab our weapons, but when grabbed nothing but air we remember something important. We left our weapons back with Smith and we are not in an open enough space for me to use my fire powers without accidentally setting this forest on fire.
"Hey Spike," Mist say really quietly in a nervous voice." you got a plan?"
"You could say that." I start as Mist and I take a few steps back. "It's called RUN LIKE HELL!!!" And with that my friend and I hightail it out of there as if Nightmare Moon herself was after us, which in all honesty I would prefer her to that demon from hell. Too bad death bunny is hot on our heels.
Cue the Benny Hill theme
It seems like no matter where we go that hell rabbit is right behind. We climb up the highest tree we could find only for it to somehow be on a branch directly above us. We got into a cave where we run into it while running in the dark. Though it turns out something else was already there and quickly kicked the three of out of its cave. We jump into a huge hole in the ground and we though we were safe after a minute or two but suddenly we are out of the hole and somehow standing on top of death bunny's head. After that we end up running around the forest while pulling off just about every cartoon chase trick in the book. While this is happening I can't help but think, "Did that thing take lessons from Pinkie and why is this happening to us? Is some higher power out there that just loves screwing people over?!"
(In the realm of shadows a phantom of darkness suddenly sneeze as he looks over a list of people for him to screw over.)
20 minutes later
music stops
I have my hands on my knee as I try to catch my breath and Mist isn't doing much better.
"I think we finally lost it." I say while panting heavily.
"Yeah but lets go before it finds us again." Mist says while being out of breath. As we are about to make our way back to camp we notice something in a nearby river. On the bank of the river it looks like an unmoving body. As we rush to the figure we get a better look it. The person is a boy who looks to be around the same age as me. He has blue somewhat spikey and long hair with a black streak that goes down between his eyes. He has a lanky figure with a bit of a baby face to him. He is wearing a blue scarf with a triangle design to it around his neck, wristbands with the same design as the scarf, a silver tank top like shirt, silver pants with tassels at the knees, and black bellbottom shoes giving him a bit of a cowboy look to him. The weird thing about him is the fact that he has four gun on him with two holstered in each leg. The guy looks like he hasn't had anything to eat or drink for a good while now but I can tell that he is still breathing so that's at least a good sign.
"What is this guy doing in the middle of nowhere?" Mist asks while looking around for any clues to what happened to the stranger.
"Don't know but we better take him back with us. We don't want death bunny finding him and tear him apart." We both shudder at the though of that Monster and we quickly grab the unconscious teen and hightail it out of the woods so that we won't have to deal with its demon. We run as fast as we could until we manage to reach the camp to see Smith has already got the campfire going and is cooking lunch while his son Jack watches. Jack is the first to notice us and points us out to his dad.
"About time you two showed up. I was wondering if you gu-" Mr. Firehammer starts but he now notices the unconscious boy we're caring. "By the first, what happen to him."
"We don't know, we found him on the bank of the river and we couldn't just leave him like that." I say as we put him near the campfire while Mist goes to the truck to get a sleeping bag for the blue and black haired kid. " And you better look over his guns. They might be damage from the water." The weapon smith nods and takes his guns to inspect them. Mist comes back with the sleeping bag and we but the conscious teen in it and let him rest.
"Man, this kid has some really nice guns." Smith says has he cleans and inspect them for damage. Mist and I take a better look at the guns and we can see what Smith is talking about. All four are pitch black and look to be custom made revolvers. All four had a really big chambers that went off to the side with two of them going off to the right while the other two went off the left. They all had really long and thick barrels and a mini scarf attach to the butts of the guns. We see the gunsmith push a button on the one of one of them and the barrel and chamber went slant so it can be reloaded. "These things were made for speed, accuracy, and easy reloading. They seem to use slightly larger bullets than the average revolver Don't know why he has four of these though."
(I don't own the item or picture)
After that we decide to eat the food Smith has already made while saving some food for the gun wielding boy for when he wakes up and hoping he can tell us who he is and what happened to him.

The Gunslinger P.O.V.
I'm in a clearing of a forest lying down on my back looking as I up at the sky. I turn my head to the side to the person I love with all my heart. She is beautiful. Her hair is silver and short that stops around her chin. Her eyes is as blue and breath taking as the ocean with a cute mole under corner of each eye. She had skin as soft and smooth that it was like velvet. When I first met her she was a bit of a spoil brat but over time her beauty became both inside and outside. Soon we found love in each other and we couldn't be happier. Than out of nowhere a group of people who I could not see their face jump us and grabbed my love. I tried to fight back but before I could even get up one of them shot me in the heart. Then one of them grabs and tosses me aside where I found myself falling into a dark void. Within it I can feel my heart slowing its beat by the second. 'I can't die. I can't die here, she needs my help.' The thought goes through my mind.
Through the darkness I see a weird glow. It comes closer and I saw what was making it. It looks like a black shroud and hood floating with nobody inside it, but it did have long black claw like hands.(Just think of my avatar) In one of his hands is what looks like a black crystal skull with one of its eyes close. It gives off a really ominous glow and feeling that makes my hair stand on end.
"Do you want to live? Do you want the power to save your love?" The specter asks in a deep and eerie voice.
"Yes." I manage to say.
"Even if it means that you must become one with darkness and death."
"If it means I can save her than yes I will." I say without a second thought and in as a determine voice I can in my situation.
"Very well than." The phantom says calmly before thrusting the skull into my chest. I feel the power, darkness, and an unspeakable evil coursing through my body. Forcing it to change so it can contain its power. I scream in pain that is unlike any other that I had felt before. "Be warn that this power comes with a price. If you are not able to control and command this power it will destroy all the you hold dear."
"Who-urg... are you?" I manage to grunt through the pain. For some reason I could feel him grinning at me even though didn't have a face.
" In every dimension or universe, every change, no matter how grand or small, can be trance back to one moment or event. I'm one of the beings who set up event for change to occur on a grand scale. But the outcome of the change is not for me to decide. Whether you help save this world or help doom it. Whether you become a hero or a monster, it all depends on the choices that you and those around you make." After that he disappears and after a few minutes of agony the pain stops and the darkness recedes. I'm standing in the same clearing as before and the bodies of the people who had attacked the love of my life and I lay died on the ground and looked to have been killed in the most brutal ways possible.
I turn around and see my love leaning against a tree as she looks me in worry, horror, and fear. I try to get close to her, to sooth her, to tell her that everything is okay, that I will never hurt her until a voice rings out in my head.
"kill her." The voice rings out. I froze. 'What? Kill her? Why? Why would I want to do that to the love of my life?' I think to myself.
"Kill her." The voice rings out again only this time stronger than before. I can feel the need, the desire to tear apart whatever is in front of me. 'No! I cant. I won't!'
"KILL HER!" The compulsion keeps growing and growing.
"No I won't!" I feel the power and darkness and gather at my back and pour out of it. With it I take to the skies as fast as I can. I thought I heard my love yell something but I couldn't hear over the wind and this explosion as I fly. Slowly the darkness consumes me once more.
I slowly wake up to find myself looking at the sky. From the position of the sun it looks to be sometime in the afternoon. I look next to me and see a campfire and some people eat. Two of them looked to be around my age. One of them looked has dark skin and black dreadlocks and eyes. Other is more surprising since he has green spiked hair and green snake like eyes. I have heard of people with those kind of features. I think they are called Dragonborns I think. But there aren't any from where I'm from they only live in on the continent that is on the other side ocean of Gunsmoke. I look at the other two and see a kid that looks to be about ten and a man who looks to be a blacksmith. The man notices me and smiles.
"Look who decided to wake up." The man says as he grabs a paper plate and a plastic spoon and gives it to me.
"You look like you need a good meal so eat up." The plate has two hotdogs with baked beans on the side. I suddenly realize how hungry I am and start eating like there is no tomorrow. "Whoa, slow down there kid. Your going to choke on something."
I finish chewing and swallowing the food in my mouth and say with a sheepish smile, "Sorry about that."
Everyone just smiles and the man says, "No problem. You got a name kid?"
"Zero. My name is Zero."
