YouTube: Dream Gamers- Volume 1- Nyo-Venturian

Chapter 4

Jordan didn't know of he should step in or not. If he took the side of MysteryClan, his own fans could turn against him. If he took the side of the haters, not only would he be completely ignoring the truth, but he would become a hater to a fan who obviously looked up to him, and seemed to know exactly what's going on.

After much contemplation, Jordan decided to take the side of MysteryClan.

"Everyone, stop. I think MysteryClan is right. I'm not sure about the whole 'coming from my mind' thing, but I will say now, I think I'm in trouble. Don't call me insane, here, but I'll tell you the truth: I've somehow turned into a girl in one night, and there wasn't any apparent cause. -Venturian"

As Jordan clicked "post", he imagined all the hate he would receive. This was the price he paid for running a somewhat well known YouTube channel. He always ran the risk of getting spammed, called names, and just hated in general. After a few seconds of thinking about this, he laid his head, face down on the desk, and placed his arms down on the desk in shame. He had no idea what he was getting himself into, but it seemed like his life was becoming extremely supernatural.

Jordan stepped out into the great room. "It's done," he said.

"What's done?" Paula asked.

"I put out my opinion on the comment that was getting hate."

"You did?" Isaac asked. "What did you say?

"I told them that I wasn't so sure if something came out of the original poster's mind, but that I think I'm in trouble, and that I actually did become female last night."

"Oh, Jordan," Cierra worried. "A comment like that is going to get people to think you're a scam!"

"How else am I supposed to put it?" Jordan told her. "I'm prepared for the consequences, and I know this could be a bad idea, but people would think it's a prank if I told them in a video or on Instagram! That would have to involve showing my face, and people would think that we got one of our friends to help us with a joke!"

"You have a point," Bethany sighed.

"I just can't stop thinking about MysteryClan," Jordan told them. "Thinking about it now, I answered a comment from them early on in Oblivion Tale. They asked what my favorite fire-type Pokemon was, besides Charizard. Wait a minute,"

"What?" Cierra asked.

"MysteryClan, that sounds like a group of people!" Jordan realized. "That channel must be a group channel like ours!"

"That means that the true owner of the channel, and therefore leader of the group must have posted the comment, because there wasn't a signed name!" Bethany shouted.

"We need to find out who the owner of the channel is!" Isaac exclaimed.

"But, how do we do that? It might not be so easy to find out. It might not be mentioned in the 'about' section of their channel, and if so, how do we find out their name?" Cierra pointed out.

"Actually," Paula said. "I think I might be able to help."

"How?" Jordan asked.

"The channel MysteryClan is a channel I'm subscribed to."

"WHAT?!" all four siblings shouted in surprise.

"I'm also following their leader on Instagram. The two of us have become friends, and we met in the comments section of one of Jordan's Dark Souls II videos," she explained. "Her name is Allie Wannall. She's fourteen, and a huge fangirl of Jordan's. If she finds the reply you left, Jordan, she'll probably be devastated. She has also talked about her dreams having lives of their own. Her latest Instagram post is a picture of a video game system she has, called the Sega Dreamcast. The description states that a creature from her dreams, called the Voltox, escaped her dreams, and could be entering the dreams of others. That post was just made today."

Paula showed them the picture on her phone. Isaac gasped.

"I've seen that before! That's the system I found on Instagram that I thought was really cool! You showed the picture to me, and told me where to find it! That's the same user, too!" he stated.

The description was vague, but terrifying. It explained that the "Voltox" had escaped using the Dreamcast, and now, the Dreamcast was acting weird in real life, as if something had corrupted it, but only slightly. After a bit of messing around with it, it started acting completely normal again, as if nothing happened.

Suddenly, Jordan heard something really loud. It sounded like an original PlayStation starting up. Jordan could have sworn he heard it coming from the TV, and had clapped his hands against his ears to try and block out the loud, and awfully eargasmic sound, but it wasn't working. Everyone else looked at him as though he had two heads. They hadn't heard the sound, but Jordan was confused. It was too loud for him to have been imagining it, yet no one else heard the nightmarish sounds, and the television wasn't on, and the PlayStation wasn't even out. It wasn't coming from a phone, either.

"Jordan," Paula asked. "Are you okay? What just happened?"

"I could have sworn I heard the PlayStation starting up with the TV volume turned all the way up," Jordan breathed.

"You crazy," Cierra teased.

Jordan couldn't help but think the sound was triggered by something.
