Earth 8018: The Story of Tyler and Kristyn

Part 55: Reminiscing

Meanwhile, because Dream Master was on his way to our home city he was actually a lot closer to where Simbi and I were. And eventually we ran into him.

"Dream Master!? What are you doing here?" I asked.

He then said,
"Tyler told me everything. I'm here to help. I don't want to die by the hands of that thing!"

Simbi then said,
"That makes two of us... three if you include miss goodie-two-shoes over here."

Dream Master then said,
"Wait... aren't you the Queen of... sorry... weren't you the Queen of sand city?"

"Yup! That's me!" She said.

I then cut in,
"Hey! Focus! What exactly did you and Tyler discuss? And how?"

Dream Master then said,
"Oh. Right. Apologies. He told me about how his body had been taken over by Drahsoh. He filled me in on all that had taken place. And I told him of my first encounter with Drahsoh."

I then said,
"Wait! You've seen Drahsoh before? That means you've seen Tyler before too! When was this!? What happened!?"

He then went on to say,
"Doctor Corgan. Corgan hired me occasionally to do jobs for him. Make people dream things. See things. Believe things. I was on my way to collect a payment. However when I walked in I saw Corgan being torn apart by a boy. There was a women in the corner terrified. But something was off. I felt 3 minds in the room. Af first I thought one belonged to Corgan... but upon further inspection, I saw that Corgans body was so torn to shreds that he couldn't possibly have been alive! I didn't understand why I felt 3 minds that day. Until I met Tyler again a few years later. But it wasn't Tyler. It must have been Drahsoh. He was fighting... no... killing an army of Supers! I observed from a distance, I recognized the young man. After killing them all he calmed down and returned to whomever he was originally. The second mind I felt became inactive once his became active. However his eyes had been removed... he killed all those soldiers simply by listening for where they were. But once he was back to himself, reinforcements had arrived. And they beat him senseless for hours. After appearing to be dead for some time I left. The soldiers paked up their dead and moved on. Leaving him there. I then met Tyler two more times after that. Once in the desert, and once when he ruined my plan to get stronger... right before you ruined my revenge..."

I then asked,
"When did you start messing with his dreams?"

In reply he said,
"I've only been in his head once. When he fought against me in the desert."

Tyler and I had been wrong. The Dream Master wasn't messing with Tyler's dreams all this time. The nightmare he was having was a memory. Dream Master was there! I had one more question for DM.

"When he fought all these Soldiers, was he wearing a black sand suit, with a matching helmet but red gloves from a different sand suit?"

He then said,
"Yes... how did you know that?"

I then said,
"It's not important. We need to come up with a plan."

It wasn't important to the situation at hand. But it was very important. I knew what he was wearing that day because that was the day he came back beaten up. The day I bandaged his wounds. The day I found out he was a super.
