It's quiet in this place of the X mansion. Nobody here, just the sound of air whistling around the room and a machine beeping. A girl is seen laid down straight her head on a pillow as a cord is shown around her wrist. She is a sleep, but this was a really deep sleep. One that she couldn't get herself out of. She was fully alive but her eyes spoke otherwise as they were shut tight. Her blonde hair seemed to touch her shoulder as it was in a straightened position.

The girl was Deja also known as Dream. She was the dream walker, the dream manipulator but right now she wasn't capable of defeating this nightmare. Her mind had been drawn to some other place in her head were there were dark things. This feeling was so serene and seemed like she was trapped forever in this hell like place. She could be in pan, she could be in torture but you couldn't tell by her quiet and muted body. Nobody knew what to do and most importantly if she would ever see the light of day again. Would she be trapped in her dreams for the rest of her life?

Sam walked down to the infirmary for the third time this week, after finding out his favorite Dream walker had been admitted into the infirmary. The first person that had a small fraction of the messed up life he had from before the mansion. He was worried but he didn’t show it, all he had to show his concern for her was a pink tulip that he figured would add to the room once she woke up…if she woke up.

Sam sat in the same seat he sat in everyday right next to Deja’s bed where she was out cold, and where the nightstand was with a vase full of pink tulips. Sam put the new tulip in the vase as he took out the old dead one in there and tossed it in the garbage can. He then started telling Deja about his day and what he did the night before, “… and then the police said thanks to me! Can you believe it…? I was just passing through and spotted those jewel thieves.” He then leaned back in his chair and said, “You know Deja, you kinda need to wake up soon…” Sam put his hand on hers and activated his powers slightly trying to see if his actions caused a reaction.

In the heat of the moment, Deja's body did react as the chill of cold swept over her body. Her powers moved toward Cold Steel as his body had seemed to collapse on the ground and he was now in Deja's head but most importantly her nightmare. It was dark, almost pitch black and there were cells with chains all around him. Pits of fire burned on the ground as there seemed to be a horrid force.

The air was like heat coming before our face, which wasn't very relaxing. Out in the shadow stood the reflection of a girl who seemed to be hiding in a corner, her hands and arms locked together in a cradled fashion. Her blonde hair covering her face as she began to rock back and forth. She defiantly seemed to be scared but withdrawn at the same time as she was also covered with a black leather jacket. Roars were heard in echoes way beyond where Cold steel stood.

Sam felt a weird tingeing sensation as he felt his body being pulled down towards Deja. Sam felt like he was losing control of his body as he fell to the floor his hand still touching Deja’s seemed to give a small jolt as Sam suddenly felt like he was flying as everything went dark. Sam felt his body moving as he floated in the dark space towards a light, “Am I dying?” thought Sam as his voice echoed around him, ‘I can’t die yet…there is still so much I have to do…’ Sam felt his body now being pulled with an intense force to the light. Sam closed his eyes as he was thinking, ‘Not yet, Not yet.’

Sam opened his eyes a few seconds later to find himself in what looked like a prison cell with chains around him… “Shit am I in hell?” Sam whispered as he breathed in through his nose and smelt fire and what he thought was brimstone. For the first time in his life Sam felt warm, his body sweated from the heat as he realized that this had never happened to him before, “I never from the heat…” Sam continued to look around till he saw something curled up in a corner. Sam walked over to the black lump and then couldn’t believe what he was seeing, “Deja!!?? Is that you?” Sam walked closer to her and noticed she was scared he put his hand on her back as his ears twitched from a roar was heard off in the distance. “You okay?” asked Sam as his eyes kept shifting around trying to take in all possible angles he could be attacked from.

Her eyes shifted up toward Sam as she coughed toward him. Trying to speak was hard but she was able to after taking a deep breath. ''What are you doing here? You shouldn't ever be in this place. It's not safe!'' Deja looked at the deep shadows which surrounded her. It was coming, it always did. The feeling of being helpless was hard to bear and handle. Images of her father being put in a home surrounded her thoughts as he didn't know who she was. It was like she had never been his daughter, never was. The way she walked toward the home and visited him, how he wouldn't speak almost blanked out. Tears usually would come to her eyes but she had to suck it up.

Hard, rough stomps began to get clsoe as Deja began to bite her lip. Her whole body was shaking and she didn't want to face it once more. It was terrible, tall and reaped death. it's entire being just had that sickly aura which made her want to puke. It was evil and the kind that makes your blood boil hot. It was something she couldn't ever really escape as much as she wanted to try. As she looked at Sam she just wanted him to go and be safe. She couldn't help it if something happened to him. ''It's useless.'' She kept in her corner as she had suddenly gone quiet.

'What are you doing here? You shouldn't ever be in this place. It's not safe!''

Sam frowned as he looked at her, she was scared and freaking out something he didn’t like to see at all in his friends. Sam looked around this place, “You brought me here…” Said Sam as he walked over to Deja and put his hand on her back and the other by his side. She was scared and he didn’t know why he had to do something for her. Then it hit him it was here powers Sam smiled as he figured exactly what was happening and that explained why his powers didn’t work. Sam felt the ground shake as thuds could be heard as it felt like it was getting closer, “Deja what the hell was that?”
Sam watched as she bit her lip and started to shake.

''It's useless.''

Sam started to shake her, “Deja, Deja come on what is it?” Sam stood up and looked around feeling the vibrations in the ground get closer together. Sam knelt by her and shook her again, “Hey come on can’t be that bad!”

Suddenly out from the shadows came a beat like monster with horns,and, he looked like a giant. His eyes were red and he seemed demon like. He faced the two heroes and just smirked. Without making a sound, fire appeared in his hand and it wouldn't be a fun time for either Sam or Deja. Her eyes looked in confusion and fear as she didn't want to go through this once more. This monster was a destroyer and each time he made her mind Hell. ''You have to go Sam, please! I don't want you to get hurt.'' She looked at Sam pleading for him to find a way out of her mind. She didn't have the courage to fight this thing.

Sam eyes shifted from Deja to the monster that looked well like a monster. Sam’s eyes looked into the red glowing eyes and gaped I the vastness of nothing in the sea of red in the monsters eyes. He next looked at the horns then the hand which had caught fire but the monster seemed to be controlling he flames…’shit’ thought Sam as he tried to activate his powers with no luck, ‘why aren’t they working here?’ Sam stood up no longer next to Deja but started walking closer to the monster.

''You have to go Sam, please! I don't want you to get hurt.''

Sam just looked to Deja as she spoke a little in disbelief, “you really think I would leave a friend in a place like this?” Sam walked away from Deja, “if you won’t move I guess I’ll have to take care of this nightmare of yours my self.” Sam knew his powers were gone but he hoped that Deja seeing him get hurt would cause her to act this was after all her dream, her nightmare. She had the power here not Sam.

Sam glanced over at a long and small chain and smiled. Sam somersaulted over to the chain and picked it up and started to whip it around just like he used to when he practiced various weapons. He had mastered the sword but the chain was a different story Sam really hoped the monster wasn’t as tough as he looked.

A little playtime before the rule fun begins, that was all that was going through this beats mind as he stared at the unfortunate guy named Sam. Whipping the chains he thought that would stop him! He just stood there and waited to be attacked by the human.

Deja watched on in stress as Sam tried to defend them but she knew the effort was useless and he might as well stand still. She wasn't going to be able to get herself out. She had tried once and it didn't turn out so well so she lives with this. Biting her lip she wondered how someone so cute can be so stupid at the same time?

Sam looked to the monster with a frown on his face, ‘this thing is hurting my friend…. unforgivable!’ Sam ran for it swinging the chain as fast as he could try to intimidate thee horned best it didn’t work. The Best seemed to motion as if he was laughing…big mistake. Sam ran towards him as the monster swung on of his large hands in Sam’s direction. ‘I don’t have powers but that doesn't mean I can’t fight!’ thought Sam as he jumped barley clearing over the monsters large hand. Sam landed on his back and then rolled into a flip landing on his feet as the monster brought his hand around for another swing.

This time Sam was ready for it, Sam ran towards the hand swinging the chain as he jumped up and over the hand on the other side. The chain however wrapped around the bests large hand…”shoot” said Sam as the beast seemed to laugh again as he lifted his hand and then started to swing it in the air causing Sam to fly with the hand still holding onto a chain, “Deja, you really gonna give up…like this!?” yelled Sam as he was getting thrown about.

The chain snapped under the weight of Sam as Sam was sent flying into an old column that seems to give way and the column it self seemed to shake, coughing up blood from the impact Sam looked to her and said, “Your dream…your nightmare…your power…” Sam struggled to get up as he continued to cough, ‘Monster would be over with if I had my powers…’ thought Sam as he started to walk towards the best this time with a smaller chain. ‘Deja you better come to you senses soon…’ thought Sam as he started into a limping run towards the best.

Time after time it seemed he kept trying to defeat this mosnter in some way. It was stupid and pointless but he still tried his best to defend her. He was being brave and courageous yet he had no powers. Seeing him fall and get abck up showed heart and it gave ehr some hope. She really wanted to help but she had to get over this fear. She still remembered as a kid hearing her mom speak about her father's mental state and how he became a monster once at her. This was ofcourse before he left due to mental althimizers. But she had described him as a mosnter and this image somehow appeared ever since.

“Deja, you really gonna give up…like this!?”

How he didn't know how much she was trying. She just couldn't pull herslef to do anything. It felt like she was withholding her power for some reason. Maybe the feeling of fighting the picture of her father in her eyes were too much for the woman to handle. The feeling of taking control over her mind felt obsolete. Suddenly, the monster turned at her and smiled. Walking closer to her he grabbed ahold of her, her fear in her eyes were shown clearly as she was thrown into the deep fire like pit. The screams being heard from the woman.

As she was in the pit she heard Sam say it was her dream,her power, her nightmare. Clsoing her eyes she raised from the fire, unscratched. Glaring at the monster, her eyes were pure white as she moved her hands out wide before clapping them sending a shock to the beast which pushed him back away. He shook his head and came charging at her as she waited, the robe on her flinging back and forth. Suddenly she jumped in back of him and twirled her hands before pressing her palm on him which seemed to weaken him. She was through playing around now.

''Coldsteel close your eyes!''

Deja was about to finish this as she gathered all her power that she could muter up in this nightmare, all the light that was here just dampened as she took a deep breathe and directed the beam toward the evil monster.

''Coldsteel close your eyes!''

Sam let out a laugh after being throw down again, spitting up more blood, “Bout time Deja, he I thought you was gonna let me die…” Sam did what he was told and closed his eyes. He could feel the power flowing around him. Sam smiled, she was taking control, good Deja!’ thought Sam as he kept his eyes shut. Even with his eyes closed Sam still could see a bright light threw his eyelids, ‘she waited till I was this messed up to do this?’ asked Sam in his head, as he wished he could be back in his own body again.

Her will was strong and she noticed that this beast was not going to give up at all. The darkness around him started to help him get back up after her blast! She was in disbelief as she didn't know what to do. Turning to Sam she smiled and moved her arms back and forth before firing the energy inside of her sending the beast into the oblivion. Looking at Sam, she ran to him and hugged him,tightly. Staring into his eyes she took a deep breathe. ''You know--I'm really glad to see you.'' Deja then moved her lips closer to his hoping he wouldn't move away from it.

Sam’s eyes were still closed the blinding light was just that blinding even with his eyes shut. Noises could be heard but they fell all over the place, which made the sounds jumbled and confusing. A boom here a crash there. Long story short Sam guessed there was an epic battle going on.

The sounds faded after a large crash and the bright lights vanished. Opening his eyes Sam could still barley see, the scenery started to make it self clear after a moment or two. Rubble was the first thing he saw then a blonde streak as he felt someone hugging him tightly.

''You know--I'm really glad to see you.''

Sam didn’t really comprehend until her lips were on his, ‘what the hell? She kissing me?’ thought Sam as his eyes were opened and looking at the top of Deja’s head. ‘Leila!’ thought Sam as he pulled back slowly shaking his head slightly not saying anything.

Sam felt another tug to his body only this time he was waiting for it. Like the tug that pulled him in Deja’s Nightmare this one was pulling him back to his body. Like before the darkness came followed a bright light and then unlike the first pull this one had a certain perk to it.

Now in his body Sam activated his power over his left hand. Ice quickly answered his call as his left hand turned blue and cold. “Thank god!” said Sam as he shook his hand forcing the ice to fall off. Sam sat back down in his chair and waited to see if Deja would come to.

Gasp! Her breathe for the first time came back to her as she finally could see a room. Sitting up she looked around nervously. Her eyes scanned the room as she had to make sure she wasn't dreaming. There was flowers at her side and a machine that made this weird noise. Finally there was a familiar face and she smiled. ''Sam..'' Her eyes widened more as she touched her face, her arms and she knew she was awake. Pulling the sheets back she turned herself over and took a big step up. The thing about being in a bed for a long time you kind of have to get used to walking. Sam was there and he helped her get back to reality. Thee last thing she remembered was going to kiss him and then she was here.

"So--is there anything important that I should know? Has anyone been injured, are there any kids in trouble, is it raining pigs outside!?'' Deja then chuckled as her eyes stared at Sam. She still couldn't get used to actually being up again.
