The darkness cleared from my vision and was replaced with a long, narrow room made of shiny metal.  Next to me were Kiara and Carlos, and all of us nearly face planted when the room shook. It had a door in the front and back, and round windows on opposite sides of the room.  Through the window I could see nothing but sky and clouds slowly going by.
"Who's nightmare is this?" Asked Carlos.
"I don't know.  Could be virtually anyone's." Kiara answered.
"Ooo, even the presidents?" I asked.
"Maybe."
"YES!" I exclaimed, "we can find out if he's actually apart of the illuminati and foil they're plans to destroy our country!"
"Uh," Said Carlos, "Sorry, but I find that highly unlikely."
Kiara put her finger to her lips, telling us to be quiet.  We watched her walk to the door behind us and turn the knob slowly.  She forced it all the way open and we saw and heard the crying girl, tucked up in the corner.
"Molly?!" I said, losing my guard.
The brown haired girl looked up at us.
"This is Molly's dream?" Said Carlos.
"Molly?" Asked Kiara.
"She's our cousin." I explained.
"Ah." Said Kiara.
She flung her hand back and her backhand made contact with a face painted white.  Me and Carlos hadn't even notice the clown behind us.  The clown's head bounced back, but before it could even register what had hit it, Kiara did a back kick straight to it's kneecap.  The clowns hurting face wasn't seeable through the smile painted on it's face, but u can tell it was in pain.  Kiara jumped up and executed an amazing 180 crescent kick to the clown's temple.  The clown's feet eventually lost the ground while stumbling back.  Once it's back had hit the floor, the whole body dissipated into a cloud of vanishing shadow.  The sudden movement had caused my to turn around and summon my darkened sword in hand.  The room was empty, no more clowns.
"Jemeni?  Carlos?" Said Molly in a shaky voice, now standing up.
"Hey Molly!  Wazzup?" I responded.
All of us still kept our gaze to the other room, being alert for anymore threats.
"Oh, uh... Nothing much... Just hiding, inside an airplane full of clowns and needles."
"Needles?" Asked Kiara.
"I'm guessing it's the needles you get from the doctor," I said, "She's scared of doctors."
"Am not!" Molly said, defensively.
"Yes you are.  It's pretty obvious in real life, and they're even in your nightmares." I stated.
The ground shook and Molly screeched.  I jumped, but only at the scream that came from Molly's mouth.  We all stood in silence for a while.
"She's afraid of planes..." I explained.
We heard the door knob on the other side of the door try to turn.  The door was locked, and the doorknob shook more violently.  There was a hatch near us, and I opened it up.
"We should hide in here, we don't know what's coming through." I said.
"I agree." Said Carlos, Joyfully.
"We can probably easily handle one more clown." Said Kiara.
"True." I thought.
"Nonono," said Carlos, "he had a great idea, and for him it's pretty rare, and we're gonna throw it away?  We're going in the hatch."
"Okay then." Kiara agreed.  She walked over and hopped into the entrance.  It had a ladder, but it was only about 4feet deep in the ground.  Kiara had to duck to go inside.  Molly went next, then Carlos, then me.  It was pretty capacious, length and width wise.  I opened the hatch a little and peeked through.  The door rattled, then burst open.  Two clowns walked through, one holding a giant, sharp pair of pliers, and the other a giant needle.  The needle was so big, the clown used two hands to hold it up.  Molly was shivering in fear.  It looked like she might cry.  I heard Kiara whispering to her, most likely for comfort to calm her down.  The clowns scanned the room and one of them looked right where we were.  It stared for a couple seconds, then looked past us.  They walked towards us, unaware, and I waited for them to get a little closer.
"What are we going to do?" Carlos asked.
I shushed him and kept waiting.  The clowns were a few feet away and I jumped up, bursting through the hatch.  The clowns looked at me immediately, and were caught in surprise.  I flipped and my feet touched the ceiling.  The clown with the needle, held the weapon up to me.  I pushed down off the ceiling and a little to the right, and landed squatting low on the ground.  I raised myself up, holding my sword above my head.  I let my sword make contact with the needle and the clown next to it put the pliers on each side of my legs.  I jumped up and grabbed a hold of the needle.  I used it to swing around and eventually land on top of it.  The pliers snipped at the air where my legs were but I was already on top of the other clowns needle.  It was an incredibly huge needle.  The clown couldn't hold the weight and the needle and let it fall to the ground.  The other clown swung itself around, using the momentum to swing the giant pliers above it's peer and right at me.  I did an areal off the needle and over the pliers and landed on the clowns head.  I pushed off and turned to the other clown in the air.  I sliced it into a cloud of darkness and landed back on my feet.  I looked at the last clown as it stumbled from my kick and hit the wall.  It wasn't down yet, so I ran towards it slide across the ground as it tried to swing the pliers at me again.  The pliers swung above my head and I jumped back on my feet again.  I jumped and did a sideways double front kick, and the clown disappeared into a cloud of darkness.  I landed my kick and watched Carlos, then Molly, then Kiara climb out of the hatch in the ground.  I smiled at them as they came out.
"That... Was amazing." Said Carlos.
"I know right? Jemtastic!"
"And sadly," Said Kiara, "I didn't see any of it.  But I am surprised how all these nightmares have something to do with clowns so far."
"Yeah what's up with clowns?"
"Hey," said Carlos, sounding hurt, "clowns can be scary."
I laughed.
However, the laugh quickly ended as the door burst open again, but this time an uncountable number of clowns bust through.
