"I saved you, Roy. I'm... a friend." said Galactus with purple blood splattered on his body. Roy couldn't believe his eyes. "What have you done?" The false galaxy began shattering as if it was glass. The shards into infinite nothingness. Galactus began enlarging his body and using his new powers destroying the dream-state. "Stop it! Galactus, stop!" Galactus didn't stop instead he confronted Roy. "Why stop? This is what you wanted. I'm destroying what you could've had to go through until you die. You should be thanking me." Roy thought for a second and checked his pockets.
There was a piece of gum, 100 dollars, and the other piece of that 20 dollar bill. He kept thinking and glimpsed at the countdown. 5:11. Just 5 more minutes. He began stalling and trying to convince him to repair the dream-state. "Fix it Galactus!" "Why? You hate it. I hate it. We all hate it!" While talking a being similar to Galactus came him through one of the space shards. "Galacius, God of Nightmares. You must be punished for your actions on the dream-state. Now you shall die by my hands, Wolfeer, God of Sleep." said Wolfeer, he began pulling out a sword bigger than Roy and attacking Galactus.
"Wolfeer! You fool!" Galactus summoned balls of fire ascending into Wolfeer. 3. 2. 1. Roy was back, but in a hospital. They must of thought he died. A nurse came up to him filing some papers next to his bed on a night stand. "Doctor Sox! Doctor Sox!" called the man. The doctor came up to him to ask some questions. "Mr. Damples, you fainted and woke up with no fatigue. That is not normal. We may need to run some tests on you." said Doctor Sox, checking a clipboard. Roy checked the clock on his nightstand. 9:40. "Crap, I'm going to be late." Roy got up, but the doctors tried to push him back down. He resisted of course and stepped on a doctor. "Hey! Get him!" The doctors and security guards begin running after Roy.
"Only 100? Where am I going to find 100 in 15 minutes?" said Roy, looking around the streets. He spotted Mario's Pizza, Marvelous Ice Cream, and JC Bank. He decided to rob Marvelous Ice Cream, but he needed to be armed and the doctors off his trail. The doctors and guards eventually left to get backup. Roy stole a knife from Mario's Pizza's kitchen. He surprisingly wasn't caught. Before leaving he checked the clock. 9:55. "Damn it! I'm going to be late!" Roy entered Marvelous Ice Cream hiding the knife in his pocket. "Hey sir what-" The employee noticed the knife. "100 now." Roy said, hitting an all new low. The worker gave the money and Roy ran out of the shop.
The doctors spotted him and ran after him. Roy kept running and eventually made it to an alley. Through a window he saw the time. 10:02. He's late! He makes his way to an alley with no way out. He tries climbing the brick wall, but it doesn't work. He tries one last time and he falls on his back. Then all of a sudden the sky begins to fall. Veer is dead and so is the dream-state. No one is left to protect dreams. Our worst fear has now become a reality...
