Somewhere Between Half A Dream 10 Memory Seven: Re:Zero

Will had felt himself fall into a deep sleep, though his dream he started to have felt more surreal than previous ones. This time it was as if he was watching the dream from outside his body, but he still had his body he could float around in. From what he could see he was in a training room he didn't recognize, though he did recognize most of the people in the room, though they somehow seemed different. Curious Will flew down towards a group of students to listen in on what they were talking about.

"You know Damian, you think Eevi would know not to run late on training days." S----- said in a half worried tone with his arms crossed and foot tapping furiously. "Well yah would think she would bu-" Damian mentioned putting a hand on his shoulder casually but was cut off swiftly by Artemus "We may as well jump in without her before the professor ends this quick." Artemus said in a hard but matter of fact tone towards S-----. Although, like them, another team had entered the training room around the same time and had already started the training that they were supposed to be doing as well. Will tried to see the dark haired boys face but for some reason it was blurred out, which only made him more curious as to who it was since he didn't recognize him,

When Will looked over to see who they were talking about he noticed it was Jacob, Lily, and Leona. They were currently doing the robot attackers training and were doing quite well from the look of it. Jacob moved ferociously through the robot attackers, burning them with quick punches and kicks that sent out flames from his limbs. Leona mostly stayed back since she could utilize a special property of her water powers to heal the others, though with the strain it put on her body it wasn't always the best to use thus she played a more supportive role with ranged water attacks. Lily was more like Jacob, although using wind instead of fire, but she stayed back to fight with Leona so that she had back up. As they fought through robot attackers the room changed drastically, pillars formed from the floor and the terrain shifted quite a bit. Though as Will watched from his position near the others, a metal pillar that had risen from the floor to make the terrain difficult suddenly broke and began to fall, and it was on a course that would squish the girls of his team.

"Hey! Lily! Leona!" the dark haired boy yelled out from where he was but Lily didn't register it and neither did Leona. Both of them kept fighting unaware of the danger that they were in. The boy sighed as he rushed forward ignoring his teammates who were standing there and quickly made a path through the robot attackers by bringing up metal walls to block them from attacking him as he ran. The walls seemingly flipped upward from the floor pushing and knocking training bots out of his way. "S---- wait!" Damian and Artemus shouted in unison as they moved after him. The boy ran as fast as he could while seemingly ignoring his teammates shouts, and in one smooth diving motion, pushed both Lily and Leona out of the way of the falling pillar. Will watched all this happen with a shocked expression as his head began to hurt.

Both girls landed safely on the other side but S---- was nowhere to be seen. The training program was force stopped and professor Flynn who was overseeing the exercise came out to see what happened. "Spike!" his team shouted as they rushed towards the pillar concerned for their teammate and beloved friend. At that point Eevi had entered the room and rushed towards S---- with her team behind her managing to pa.s.s them due to her worry as well as physical ability. As all the students neared the pillar it started to lift off the ground, and as it lifted they saw a small metal ball that seemed somehow transparent, inside of it was Spike seemingly untouched. Upon hearing this name Will's head pounded as he floated towards the sphere.

"Don't go near it just yet, let me check it out first." Professor Flynn told the students as he jumped down making his exit from the control room and braving to go near the sphere himself. Flynn happened to be the training instructor when it came to physical exercises, even though his outward appearance would say otherwise, Will knew better than to mess with him.Though he normally looked calm and collected, Flynn was visibly nervous as he approached the sphere. Flynn approached slowly but as soon as he went one foot closer to it, large metal spikes quickly spread out from the bottom of the sphere and quickly began to cover the room. "Everyone grab onto me quickly!" Professor Flynn shouted as all the students quickly obeyed, grabbing onto him as well as each other. Within a moment the Professor teleported them out of the room, leaving Spike in what would soon become the old training center.

Will's head pounded as they all left, he was all alone in the room with the sphere containing Spike. Though when he looked Spike was seemingly sitting on the sphere staring right at him. "So, you're the other me? Hmm..Don't seem too strong." Spike said as he pointed to Will. "Other me? I'm me. Are you, Spike?" Will asked him as he held his head staring him in the eyes. "Oh, your you? Kinda cliche ya think?" Spike said as he looked towards the ceiling for a minute before directing a rather dark gaze straight to Will. "There is no you, Will. You are me, or rather a part of me. The more fun outgoing part actually, which is a no brainer as to why Lily likes you." Spike told him as he hopped down off the sphere to stand in front of Will. "Lily likes me? What do you mean?" Will asked thrown off guard as he looked into Spikes eyes. "I mean she LIKES you dude.. Man this part of me is so dense.." Spike said as he rubbed his temples. "Anyway, I need you. I need that part of me that makes me feel fun." Spike told him as he took a few steps towards Will. Will instinctively took a few steps back away from Spike as he went into a more defensive stance. Spike stopped walking and just stared at the other boy "Looks like you don't have all my memories yet.. Well it just means I need to make you understand".

"I'd like to see you try!" Will shouted to him as his gaze shifted around the room looking for an exit from this nightmare. "There is no Exit buddy, but don't worry about that." pike told him as he waved his hand and suddenly they shifted places to a black void. "Lets start at the beginning." Spike said as he and Will embarked through a journey down Spikes memory lane. That night Will would learn everything he needed to know about Spike, and what exactly his plans were for the future that involved Will.
