The most dangerous powers of a weaponized dream were that those inside it wouldn't even remember what they were doing but be placed in a certain scenario, and they would simply accept it and carry on as their minds are weakened.

And that power affected everyone. Their memories and thoughts became discord as their subconscious took over and was on an endless cycle of feeding them scenarios after scenarios that they would accept.

The confusion didn't last long as everyone saw their dreams as acceptable.

"Hey, look! Is that the World's Helm? We're near!" Chris suddenly called out to those nearby.

Those who heard him saw the scene change as they began to accept his words of Chris and see it like that.

"It seems that they are here to pick us up. Finally, the alliance begins! We can finally fight those Presiders." Stevenson laughed.

Cliff harnessed his Memory Realm and quickly caused it to surge out.

His thoughts remained on what Arthur had explained to him.

"So this means that the world or realm you could find yourself in is not a dream world that Garenjazz designed. Dreams are a world where no coherent thought process exists. The dreamer sees things without thinking, and yet it is a world that constantly creates and adapts its scenarios to the actions of the dreamer. It uses the subconscious, the memories, and even the beliefs of the dream to create the odd world. So now, the question is, what is a reality in this world? Is everything that you see in this world real? Or are these illusions? If this world is Garenjazz's powers, it won't be a simple illusion. Assuming that Garenjazz has Dimensional Upholding, he could bring all of your forces into a dream world and force everyone to dream."

"So everyone will be asleep?"

"It's more like sleepwalking. And that is the danger. The Unlocked army is not trained enough to fight in the dreams. So they will suddenly be in a state of dreams where the subconscious leads their control over their body. Imagine fighting next to someone who is dreaming."

"So they'll act weird or even attack me..."

"Exactly. Without shooting a single gun, it's even possible to conquer an army. But you have the chance to counter it and save everyone."

"How?"

"You daydream," Arthur answered.

Following Arthur's command, Cliff began to daydream. The power began to erupt, and everyone suddenly saw the scenes drastically changing from one form to the other.

The forms and persons began to change, and everyone became confused.

The strategy that Cliff made was to pour out his layers of imagination to drastically cause everyone to see strange things and question the world's reality.

Cliff began to speak.

"Arthur told me this. Your subconscious might not accept my statements even if I said something. You all are sleepwalking, after all... But with my powers as the Day Dreamer, I am forcing you all to see the truth, and hopefully... You'll come up with the same conclusion." Cliff called out to everyone as he transmitted his thoughts and imaginations to everyone who was being affected by the suggestive properties.

Everyone saw the strange vision before them, and with all the oddities presented that didn't make sense as to the time and place of where they were, they began to think and wonder where they were.

Their visions kept changing so fast. The scenes were too weird even for the dreamer to subconsciously accept them.

Alphie realized it first. She remembered who was on the ship so far away.

"Seeker!" She shouted.

A few people were suddenly starting to recover from their dreams.

Cliff didn't say anything but only created a suggestion that would lead to the safest way to awaken everyone. He saw the enemy send a barrage of attacks toward him, but he didn't move or fight back but allowed the attacks to strike the serpent.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

But then the attack ended. The enemies sent a barrage to see the reaction of Cliff's Basilisk. Cliff accepted the attack to see his army's reaction.

"Cliff!" Meryl exclaimed.

"Good. Is everyone daydreaming now?" Cliff asked.

"Dreaming?" Meryl asked.

"...Yes. Thank goodness you're here, Cliff." Alean sighed as she felt great fear in their hearts.

"This is a dream... General Cliff! Was that... inception?" Stevenson asked.

"Yes. You guys haven't woken up from the dream yet. Through inception, I made you realize you were dreaming so that the enemy would not notice the changes. They must have a way of analyzing if you are dreaming or not. Right now, you know you are dreaming and have more control of what you can see. But the enemy thinks you still are dreaming."

"I'm still dreaming? Weird... Oh hey! You're right! No wonder they suddenly became all the guys I've had a crush on but now look down since I'm more beautiful, and they are not in my league anymore." Meryl exclaimed.

"... Yeah." Cliff didn't know how to respond and kept the Basilisk moving straight as if he was in a trance.

"Stop shooting the serpent! He isn't attacking because the person wielding that power is not affected. Move closer, and prepare stronger weapons! They are all dreaming! So let's kill them quickly! Send the forces closer and kill them in one shot. If you shoot now, the explosions may awaken many and fight back in their dreams. We have to get back and help Presider." The Pioneer Commander ordered.

The forces stopped shooting at Cliff and began to assume formations.

"Hmmm? General!" Matthew noticed it.

"I know. They think we are dreaming and plan to kill us at close range. I will undo my Memory Realm now. Since I'm forcing all of you to see my memories, it eats up quite a bit. Keep remembering where you are. Dreams tend to give you all short-term memory. If I see any oddities, I'll activate this realm once more. But let's get this battle over with!"

"Roger, General!" Everyone responded.

"Well, I kind of guessed that... Why would all the superheroes of the comics I read be here to kill me..." Chris Carlean chuckled as he began to quietly arm his Supreme Exoskeleton.

"Honey, be sure to get me in that ship with your suit. I'll be off to work."

"Just don't shoot me like the last time. I know you were acting like a spy, but that still hurts..."

"Oh, come on. A bullet to the heart isn't critical for someone like you." Grace chuckled.

"I'll get you in that Hypersphere, Grace!" Jake vowed.

"Thank you." Grace chuckled.

Stevenson's supreme exoskeleton began to quiver.

​ "Husband? Why are you worried?" Jade Mikado asked his husband.

"I see... my grandparents and parents charging towards me... It's going to be rather difficult for me to shoot them now." Stevenson sighed as he saw what every Asian dreaded.

"Dude..." Lynda Indigo muttered.

"I see your family, Lynda." Peters Indigo admitted to his wife.

"You do? Can you fight with that as your dream?"

"I'll probably enjoy this more than I should." Peters chuckled.

"Everyone! Get ready! We will be initiating our counterattack soon! Cliff! Prepare an attack!" Alean ordered.

"Jane! Mark! Let's surprise them. Allow the power to surge! They want to kill me with a sudden strong attack. I'll give them just that! But first, a deception..." Cliff began to recall one of the lies, Lowengren.

"No! Don't kiss her!" Cliff roared as he pointed in a certain direction.

His voice shot echoed out as the power of Richie's sound reverberated.

"...What an idiot. He's lost himself in that dream. Such is the power of our Presider!" The Pioneer Commander smirked, and all the Pioneers and Planteds that were approaching the army began to chuckle, and everyone was laughing at the person's stupidity.

"I'll kill you for that!" Cliff shouted again.

As Cliff said, Jane and Mark of the Twelve Disciples used the power of Richie and Lennox, respectively, followed the Basilisk forward and enhanced their powers.

Sound and lightning took form. The power of the two paths achieved unity and became one attack.

With Jane and Mark's aid, Cliff and his team were finally able to reach this level through their training, and the two powers had merged as one.

On the outside, nothing was happening. But those with realm could feel the terrifying change within the serpent.

"Woah... Cliff sure is strong..." Chris Carlean watched in shock.

"Is he going to be the Life?" Jade wondered.

Alean was closing her eyes and concentrating. But, in truth, despite this advantage, she could feel that the battle was still not theirs. The powers of the dreams had only begun to appear. And Alean was constantly looking for that precise moment to keep making the right moves to turn the tides of victory.

"Shoot it... Now!" Alean ordered.

"Flashes of Lightning! Peals of Thunder!" Cliff roared as he gathered the energy in the palms of his hand. His Funneling General Exoskeleton armor was the peak of their sciences, and it began to control the powers of the two Paths. Cliff's realm erupted, and his memory of an attack that the two showed him came to being.

Instantly, Cliff, his trio of drug dealers, Jane, and Mark released the combined energy. The massive Basilisk quickly spat out the ball, and it shot towards the approaching army.

"Commander!"

"Defensive Shields!"

"Too late!"

The combined force of the two created a power that would equal weapons of mass destruction.

But unlike those rockets that could be deactivated, destroyed, or only had explosions and fire that damage the three dimensions, the combined power of sound and lightning would create a ripple that would tear apart and attack those on the fourth.

The path of the attack tore through the dream world and the area where the ball of lighting and thunder tore through the dimensions and purged it revealing the real skies that had the three dimensions.

BOOM!

A massive shockwave and a blast of lightning surged out and exploded out, instantly killing thousands of the enemy.

The Unlocked armies charged ahead and began to make their attacks.

"Kill everyone! Twelve Disciples! Charge up the center and attack the ships! Void assassins! Get ready! All spies prepare to board the ship! We only have one chance in this battle! Let's do this!" Alean ordered.
