29 Dreams...or not?

Hector suddenly wakes up in a hill, "Where?..." Hector mumble, his eyes meet with the cloudless and vibrant of 5 blue skies above him. "Why am I here? Last time I was in the food cart…" Hector said trying to answer his questions. "Arkus? Arkus!" He called looking around, "What?..." Arkus yawn waking up from his sleep, "good! I thought you disappear!" Hector said approaching him, "hm?...where the heck is this?!" Arkus yelled look around freaked out.

"Calm down. And I don't know. Last time we were in the food cart right?" Hector asks trying to resolve the confusion the two have, "yeah." Arkus nod, "then we fall asleep…is this a dream?" Hector asks holding his chin, "Hm, you can be right! We do fall asleep before! This must be a dream!" Arkus said agreeing with him.

Arkus then evilly smirks, idea just popped up in his head. Arkus bend his legs under his body, Hector stares in confusion, Arkus then jump at his face with his claws out, "GAH!!" Hector shout when he jumps, Arkus has pounced him, and cause them go rolling till they hit a tree. A squirrel falls to Hector's head and runs away.

"Why'd you do that?!" Hector shout scratches on his face, "If this a dream, then we will wake up eventually!" Arkus said explaining why he jumps at him. "Tsk, at least give me a warning." Hector scowls in annoyance. "But you're right. We should've been wake up." He said feeling something weird in this dimension.

"Told ya!" Arkus said proudly, "Whatever let's get going." Hector said standing up, dusting his clothes off.

Zeolite walks around a forest, a forest that looks very similar to the one in his memory. He touch a tree, the tree had Zeolite and Isla name, carved in it. "It looks so similar…what the heck is this?" Zeolite asks himself, can't believe how this dimension has the exact same thing as his memory. He walks again until he sees the lake, a familiar girl is standing there, with her arms behind her body.

"...Is..la?" Zeolite ask eyes widened, "Ah. Big brother!" Isla turns around and smiles at him, she runs at him, hugging him, "Isla! You're alive!" Zeolite said tears running down his cheeks, he returns the hugs tightly, not wanting to let her go ever again, "What are you talking about big bro? Of course, I'm alive!" Isla giggles patting his back.

Hector walks up to a kingdom. Shirogane Kingdom. Many unanswered questions in his head, he walks again till they step into the garden, a woman is humming a song while sitting on the bench.

"Mom…" Hector asks completely shock with what he sees in front of him, his eyes wide opened, mouth slightly open because of the shock. Elaine turns around and greets him happily. "Hector! Welcome back!" She said hugging him, Hector blinks a couple times, tears walls up in his eyes. Elaine let go of the hug, and look concerned with Hector's expression. "What's wrong Hector?" Elaine asks worried, "…Ah, it's nothing. Don't worry." Hector said wiping his tears off, and tries to act fine.

Elain put her hands in front of her mouth, "What's wrong with your face?!" She asks surprised by the scratches on his face, "uh, this arrogant furball doing." Hector said pointing to Arkus who is sitting on his head, "What did you say?!" Arkus snap. "Who is he? And why is he so cute!" Elaine squeals, as Hector just sweatdrops, "I'm a magical fox! Arkus!" Arkus said introducing himself proudly.

"More like a moronic fox." Hector scoffs. "Shut your mouth!" Arkus snap, "Ohoho, you two seem awfully close." Elaine smiles at the two relationships, "are we?" Hector asks, "Just say yes." Arkus whisper, "Uhm! Yes we are!" Hector said nodding. "Good! Oh! I've been wanting to ask you, how was your journey? Is it fun?" Elaine ask curious about his journey, "what journey?..." Hector ask doesn't have a clue, as Arkus shrugs, "Your journey! Outside the kingdom!" Elaine said excitedly, wants to hear his story so badly.

Theresa opens a room door, and is meet with an old granny sitting on a chair. "Grandma? You're still…alive?..." she asks closing the door behind her, "I'm always here Theresa." Her grandma said smiling warmly at her, "But…how? Aren't we already bury you?" Theresa asks frowning, "what do you think? Am I really alive?" Grandma asks looking outside the window. "I…umm…" Theresa let a word rolled out from her mouth, then close her mouth.

"Ah, you guys done? Perfect timing!" Leon grins, "what's the plan?" Ashley asks her right hand rest on her hip. "Do as I say, don't be reckless." Leon said, "but first. I want us to wear this. So we can update the situation each of us got." Leon said giving them a communication device, "wow, you have many. I lost mine yesterday." Ashley said impressed, taking one of them, "of course! I always keep my things on my watch!" Leon said proudly.

Very little timeskip!

"Kick the door?" Ashley asks through the communication device. "If you can't open the door, then do it!" Leon reply, wild winds going on in his background, "Yosha!" Ashley said kicking the door, the door immediately open, and is meet with the sleeping machinist, "got him." Ashley said, "Umm…Ashley? Can you go to the sleeper cart?..." Celine asks nervousness in her voice.

"Sure! Be right there!" Ashley said letting go of the machinist he falls with a thud, "oh, and please take the machinist with you. I feel bad for leaving him sleeping there." Celine said, "Alright, alright." Ashley returns and picks the machinist up.

Leon is on the roof, with Xander and Isla in front of him. "Who are you guys?" Leon ask the two, "we are…simply a passenger." Xander smiles, "normal passengers would never be on the roof. And they would be asleep now. Are one of you…the one who cast the spell?" Leon ask doesn't believe what Xander says, "You've got a great mind young man. But too bad. You'll die now." Xander smirks, "Isla, would you?" He ask looking at her, "yes sir." Isla nod, before disappearing.

Leon look around, looking for her, he pulls his katanas, he follows his gut feeling and put both of his katana in front of him, a sudden force hits his katanas. "Damn, that some force." Leon said impressed. "Good one." Xander smirks, he snaps his finger, one big shadow dragon then rises up behind him, "would you want to play? Mister Hansford?" Xander smirks widely.
