Dream Theater
Ok, this is coming a bit late but I decided to put this up as soon as I got the chance to. First up, belated Christmas wishes to one and all. I couldn't wish everyone earlier as I was busy going out and staying over at a friend's place on Christmas Eve and all. Haven't gotten a proper break till now.. well after this, I still got a chalet to see to so.. But here it is anyway. This happened on the night of Sunday 23rd December (or rather the early morning of Christmas Eve). Its about one of the craziest dreams that I've ever had in my life.
I was working in some sort of hotel together with Brian, Gloria and Wenjie. The hotel resembled Peninsula Plaza. I was off shift and we were resting in this area that looked like the 2nd floor lift landing of Peninsula Plaza. I was hanging around and talking about some stuff to Wenjie when Gloria came to the rest area and started crying her eyes out. Apparently she had gotten told off by customers and the manager for not performing well. I sat next to her and did my best to calm her down. Just then, Brian arrived and I told him to take care of her as I needed to go somewhere at the time.
I took a lift up to the higher floors on the hotel and got somewhat lost trying to find the place. I reached a floor that resembled the typical floor of an industrial building. As I was looking around for the intended location, I noticed 3 badass biker dudes carrying a girl by her arms. The girl was about 5 - 6 years old and she was crying so she was probably kidnapped or something. Not wanting to get involved, I turned and went into one of the "rooms" on the floor.. which led to a warehouse sized kind of area. there were people who looked like hobos hanging out there and I was asking them directions to where I wanted to get to. Unfortunately, none of them were familliar with the place so I went back out the door.
When I stepped outside the door I noticed the biker dudes at the staircase (which was very near to the entrance of the warehouse area). The biggest one (think big bear/raiden from fatal fury) was leaning against the wall and moaning in pleasure while the other two were in front of him and forcing the little girl's head to his you-know-what. The echo of her gurgled cries turned my stomach. Even though the angle that I saw it from had the lower part of his body covered the corridor parapet, it still repulsed every cell in my body. I could only scream "You guys are fucking sick!" and went back into the warehouse to call the cops. Unfortunately, i did not know what was the name of that place and which floor it was on. I desperately asked some of the hobos but they either didn't know or they simply stared blankly at me. As i was about to give up, I noticed that the massive biker dude was glaring at me through the window along the corridor of that place. I looked around and spotted a cargo lift somewhere in the back of the warehouse. I ran to it and frantically pushed the button to make it open but it was somewhere down.. very far down. I glanced back to see the biker dudes making their way into the warehouse. I started pounding the lift and pressing the buttons like a madman. A yell from one of them confirmed that they were already inside and it was a matter of minutes before my life would end. I continued pummeling the lift and screaming for the god damn thing to open. The distance between us was like the length of a football field. Even so, the lift had no indication of coming up to the floor and I would probably be dead before it was even halfway up. With a roar, the massive biker dude charged headfirst, straight for me, like a bullet train with bloodlust eyes.
It was then that I stopped pummelling, stopped moving, stopped everything and turned around very slowly. He was about a quarter through the distance and closing in very fast. I didn't know what I was doing but the view switched to first person mode and I started running towards him, picking up speed as I got closer. When he was within range, I jumped and executed a flying kick, the heel of my foot catching him square in the nose. At that split second everything paused (like how it does in the animes) and turned into black with white lines outlining our bodies and features (like everything became as if it were drawn on a chalk board). Still in first person view, i could see what looked like the image of a Chinese dragon, the head at my foot and the body at my leg, ramming into the biker's face. Time resumed as and the force of the impact was so great that his face was smashed inward. The first biker fell to the floor and lay motionless. The second biker (tall dude with metal claws attached to a metal plate which he wore around his wrist) ran towards me and tried to claw at me with both hands (which for god knows what reason, were open). I stabbed the middle of his palms with my first four fingers of both hands and gripped his hands firmly. I then pulled them down (moving my left hand anti clockwise and right hand clockwise) and applied upward pressure so as to lock his arms. Without warning, I put my foot against his stomach/chest and pushed hard, ripping his arms off at the elbow sockets. Second biker dude fell to the floor writhing, screaming in agony and bleeding to death. I threw the arms away and approached the third biker dude who was now cowering in fear. He pulled out a gun and started firing at me. For some reason, I could see the bullets move in slow motion (due to ultra high adrenaline or whatever) and sidestepped them all while still walking up to him. He kept firing until he ran out of bullets. He crawled backwards as I walked towards him and finally he hit a wall. Dead end. Literally. The last thing I see before the view fades to black is his screaming face.
The next thing I knew, I was washing my hands and my face in the toilet near the stairs and thinking how the hell I was capable of doing that. I turned the tap off and stared at the sink trying to remember something but it just wouldn't come to my mind. My sixth sense kicked in as I sensed that there was danger behind me. I looked up and saw biker 1 in the mirror. He was about to give a sledgehammer blow to my back with both hands clasped but I avoided it and instead, he smashed the sink to pieces. He turned and tried to punch my head into the wall but I dropped into a crouch position and, with my first 2 fingers extended, stabbed into the side of his abdomen, puncturing his kidneys in the process. He fell over with a gurgle, blood coming from his mouth (quite dumb coz that is usually attributed to a stomach wound unless I had pierced his stomach as well). I cleaned up and walked outside and saw that the girl was lying in a corner of the stairs. Blood was stained on the wall near her. I approached her slowly and turned her to face me. Her face was a bloody mess but she was still alive and breathing, though barely. I carried the girl in my arms and walked away. The next scene was me giving the girl to a flabbergasted Brian. I told him to take care of the girl and hand her over to the authorities when they arrived. I then turned and walked away. Brian kept calling out to me but I never turned back. I continued walking into the shadows.. never to be seen or heard from my friends again.
I know its super anime-hokuto no ken-exaggerated but it just felt so real that it wasn't funny. I don't want to think what would happen if i were really cast into that situation. Time for me to head off to the chalet. See you guys in the new year! JoJo Valentino signing off.
