Zeus Eduardo Everest has donned his dream destroyer armour, which makes him a seven foot tall behemoth. The crimson red armour is pulsating with incredible power, his visor only focusing on the king of the undead.

  Dream Destroyer: I wanna see what you're made of, big guy! (Zeus yells before rushing forward like a bullet train, effortlessly swating away the zombies standing in his way)

  Sis Gravestone: So this is the power of a Dream Destroyer... Incredible. (Sis said in awe, watching Zeus steadily make his way to the king of the undead)

  [Warning: Purification Energy Detected Nearby]

  [Be Cautious]

  Sis Gravestone: Should I be worried about that purification wave? I don't have to tell you how dangerous pure dream energy is to us, right? (Sis asks)

  Susie Walters: I limited the purification to only affect the weaker nightmares, which obviously reduces its potency. If I didn't do that, you would probably be drowning in your own juices by now. (Susie tells him calmly, her expression as cold as ice)

  Sis Gravestone: Purification energy, the power that almost killed my grandfather. No wonder my Nightmare System is wary of it, thankfully there's not enough in the air to be harmful to us, so I guess she's telling the truth. But I am still worried about this Dreamer, her purification might even rival my corruption. I need to tread carefully with this one. (Sis thought to himself, deciding to be more careful around her)

  Susie Walters: I know what you must be thinking, but I am not your enemy. I need purification energy to survive in this world, so I won't stop using it, and I am not going to hurt you... Believe that. (Susie tells him, unconcerned by his wary gaze)

  Just then several zombies leap towards them, trying to rip Sis to shreds. But the young dream demon stretches out a hand, corruption energy rapidly swirling around his wrist.

  Sis Gravestone: Corruption Bze! (Sis shouts as he clenched his fist, bsting the zombies with red fmes of corruption, incinerating them almost instantaneously)... I do believe you, that is why I want you to keep your purification powers on hold for now. I believe we might be needing it very soon. (Sis tells her)

  Susie Walters: Is something worse than this coming? (Susie asks, slightly confused by his words)

  Sis Gravestone: My grandfather is a difficult man to impress, something worse is most definitely coming. That is why I need you to be ready for anything, your purification energy might be exactly what we need to survive this pce. (Sis expins to her)

  Susie Walters: (Chuckles) It seems I was wrong about you, you're much smarter than you look. I didn't expect you to figure it out. (Susie tells him with a smile)

  Sis Gravestone: You know something. Tell me what my grandfather is pnning?! (Sis demanded)

  Susie Walters: Calm down, I'm just as clueless as you are. But I've also known your grandfather for a long time, long enough to be familiar with some of his tricks. I just wasn't sure if you were in on it. (Susie expins to him)

  Sis Gravestone: What is going on then? What are his pns for us?! (Sis demanded to know)

  Susie Walters: When you first told us we were weak, and you were going to train us, I knew it was only a matter of time before we were tested, to find out if we were strong enough to exist in your grandfather's perfect world. I have no idea what's coming, kid. But whatever it is, won't be good for us... My advice to you, is to go with the flow, we'll figure this out together... Hopefully. (Susie expins)

  Red fmes begin to surround the young dream demon's body, constructing a suit of blood red armour around him. Sis turns away from Susie, facing the army of undead monstrosities.

  Sis Gravestone: You're absolutely right, it's best to just go with the flow. But, if my worth is being tested, then I will put on one hell of a show! (Sis yells before leaping into the air, descending down towards the army of zombies)... Activate... Nightmare Bdes! (Sis bellowed, his corruption energy quickly constructing two massive bdes in his hands)

  But these were no ordinary bdes, these weapons are roaring with the serrated edge of a chainsaw, these were chainsaw bdes.

  Sis nds with enough force to squash the zombies below him like insects, the resulting shockwave pushing back those closeby. The nightmare bdes are hungry in his hands, demanding to be fed by roaring even louder.

  Sis Gravestone: Watch me! (Sis growls in anger, attacking and decimating more of the undead)

  Some of the zombies are foolish enough to try and grab Sis, but the burning fmes of corruption erupt from his armour, scorching any that come close.

  Sis Gravestone: Is this all you can do?! I am not impressed! (Sis roars in anger, his rage intensifying the bdes before he stabs them into the earth, unleashing an omnidirectional wave of fire that burns so hot it reduces dozens of the super zombies to dust)

  Susie Walters: What a monster. (Susie smiles at the dispy of power from the young man, but is then reminded of another young individual, who might also have great power)... I really hope you aren't a Dreamer, Toby Robinson. Otherwise, your life will get very complicated. (Susie thought to herself, unsure if Toby really is a Dreamer)

  Meanwhile Zeus Eduardo Everest, the fabled Dream Destroyer, has finally made it to the king of the undead. But not without a swarm of zombies grabbing onto him, desperately trying to hold him back.

  Dream Destroyer: Get off me, you idiots! (Zeus yells in anger, pushing away all the zombies with only his brute strength)...I'm finally here, we're standing face to face... Let's dance, butt ugly! (Zeus moves fast, cracking the massive zombie across the face with a devastating punch)

  The lower half of the monster is still stuck in the ground, so only its upper body is pushed back by the blow. But that is not the case for long, because the king quickly turns its head to face the Destroyer, roaring at him with immense rage.

  "How dare you strike me?! I'll kill you!" (The monster roars, quickly grabbing Zeus by the head and effortlessly lifting him off the ground)

  The Destroyer is about seven feet tall, but the king of the undead is a twelve foot tall monster, and that was still just its upper body. The king tries to bite off the Destroyer's head with his enormous maw, but Zeus held open its mouth with his incredible strength.

  Dream Destroyer: You can talk... good! Now I want to hear you scream! (Zeus said as his visor begins to power up, gathering an enormous amount of red energy)... Burn!!! (Zeus bellows, firing a concentrated bst of destroyer energy from his visor, setting the head of the king abze after the bst)

  The monster screams in pain, letting go of the destroyer in the process. Sis can see what is going on, and quickly turns to Susie.

  Sis Gravestone: Take it down! Use everything you've got! (Sis tells her)

  Susie Walters: You've got it, kid... Purification! (Susie responded, channeling purification energy through her dream staff, steadily aiming it at the king of the undead, who is still screaming in pain)... Beam! (Susie yells, firing a focused bst of pure dream energy)

  The purification beam moved obsurdly fast, the power strong enough to completely blow off the head of the king, leaving what's left to fall to the ground lifelessly.

  Dream Destroyer: I had him! What gives, Susie?! (Zeus yells in anger, frustrated by his victory getting stolen from him)

  The rest of the zombies slowly turn to ash, with the domain lord gone, they can't sustain their physical forms anymore. Zeus is very angry with Susie at this point, approaching her with the earth trembling from his heavy footsteps, but Sis stands in his way.

  Seth, Shawn and Midy are completely unbothered by this squabble, their just happy its finally over, they have conquered this domain. But Sis doesn't believe that is the case, and he makes his worries known.

  Sis Gravestone: This fight is not over yet! There's something coming, something worse! (Sis warns them, standing before the Destroyer without his armour)

  Zeus Eduardo Everest: What are you even talking about?! (Zeus asks in anger, his armour fading away as he confronts Sis)

  While Sis is trying to expin himself to the others, someone is watching them from a distance, the shadowy figure smiling as he listens to the young dream demon.

  "Such a clever boy." (The shadow man muses, calmly raising the glowing purple he held in his dark hands, focusing it on the group who are completely unaware of his presence)... But this game is just getting started. (He chuckles before firing an inky bck substance from the cane, which moves fast as it cuts through the air)

  The bck substance sms into the putrid remains of the undead king, causing an unnatural effect that draws in all the ashes of the deceased zombies. The grey ashes meld with the king's body, rapidly restoring him piece by piece.

  A new creature is born from all the ashes and death, its sinister presence enough to make the weak tremble in fear, and send shivers down the spines of the strong.
