Chapter 1:

The winter gator and the vault

Dream's Requiem


Ah~ I'm almost done! I walk through my pile of papers trying to find my bed. I shove all the papers out of it and finally lay down. Now I can finally go to sleep...

My eyes pop open. We're walking down a path. There's trees all around us, dead, covered in snow, and are gigantic. Late at night. We're trying to head down south to make it before the blizzard hits...

"It's oddly quiet don't you think Beruto?"

 Now that he mentions it... I can't hear anything. It's almost as if time itself had stopped.

"Yea..."

We continue walking and find a lake. It's frozen over, and it's pretty wide. We have to head over the lake to get to where we need to go.

"Wait a second, someone might have fallen in!"

Yu points to a hole in the middle of the lake. He walks on the ice cautiously trying to look for the person that might have fallen in.

I'm not sure why he would've done that. There's no blood nor anything that would've indicated that there was a person even around here. I guess it's safe to cross seeing as he hasn't fallen in yet. I walk onto the ice following behind Yu.

"There's something in the water..."

"Is it a human?"

"No, look."

He points to right under him. Revealing a gigantic silhouette of something. It's moving with it's tail.

"I wonder what it is..."

Yu puts his face close to the water.


A massive gator breaks out through the ice and grabs Yu's arm! Dragging him under the water! I run towards the hole and dive in where the gator broke through.

Huh...? It's just Yu where did the gator go?

"Behind you!"

I turn around as Yu yells at me. I see the gator with it's mouth wide open ready to eat me. I pull out a knife from my back pocket. Sticking it between it's teeth while I swim backwards. It bites on it trying to break it, but it can't. I go underneath it's stomach and kick it up out of the water. Yu swims up by me launching himself out of the water flying higher than the gator. He locks his feet together then torpedoes the gator right back into the water sending ice flying everywhere.

The gator stops moving. I swim back to the top of the lake with Yu.

"Aw... My clothes are all wet now!"

"Same!"

We climb out of the lake. Soaked.

"Oh look at you two! You're a mess."

Eva is looking at us. Yu sighs.

"Thanks for recognizing..."

"Oh don't worry, we'll get you fixed up!"

We walk to the mall. Heading to a clothing store to get changed. We walk in looking around for a change of clothes. We grab a pair of matching clothes and toss them on.

"What's that in the back of the store?"

Eva points to a door...?

"It's a rusty submarine door!"

"We should go check it out."

Eva makes her way to the door. We followed behind. As we got closer, the bigger the door got. Yu is astonished by it.

"Woah... It's so big!"

"The only issue is how do we get in?"

I try and think of a solution. Only for Eva to tap on the door pushing it open.

"Nevermind."

The door opens to reveal a large bridge. The walls are very spaced out. Leaving lots of dead room. Everything was coated in a layer of rust.

"Oh great another door."

Yu points to the door on the other side of the bridge. I look around to see if there's any way to get to the other side. I see a panel in the middle of the bridge. I rush over to it and there's a case that won't budge.

"We're never getting past this door are we?!"

"Wait! I have one last idea."

There's a ladder, but it's at the bottom of the vault like structure. There's a large pit of water. I jump off into the deep water. I try and climb up the ladder only to find it locked...There's a sign on the side of the wall.

"Huh?!"

I hear my alarm go off as my body flies up. My paper flies everywhere. I hear my alarm go off. I slam it and then go back to sleep.

"Ah~ WcDonlands land! I'm so glad we made it!"

Yu is excited. Sara on the other hand...

"It looks like a repurposed gigantic warehouse."

"Come on Sara I'm sure it'll be fun!"

She rolls her eyes and we all walk in. There's tons of crates and a large metal cage. There's no telling what they have inside of them. On the other side was the sign of a sign. We walk up a metal ramp.

There's all types of bright colors. Shapes and other objects encased in a glass box. The more we walked the weirder it got. It's almost like it wasn't made for a theme park...

I get up from my bed rubbing my head. The birds are chirping. I check the time.

"N-no way! I'm an hour late?!"

I rush out of my paper filled room.
