The priest of Elysion prays far below the surface, in the hidden temple where the Golden Kingdom once stood. He keeps his eyes closed and hands folded as he seeks out one dream in particular, but strays through the dreams of many.

"Maiden. Your dream has become this sad." It makes him sad as well. He doesn't know the reason for it, but he knows her tears.

"Helios? Is it really..." She trails off as his words hit home. Her dream has become sad, through no one's fault but her own. She'd let them become sad, so wrapped up in herself she hadn't even thought about the effect it would have on him.
"Helios, I'm sorry." She hesitates for a small moment before reaching out her hand to him, placing their palms together in a simple but timeless gesture. It really was him. He was here, and tonight at least she wouldn't be alone.
(ooc: much adoration is heaped on your head. This should be fun though, I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure I'll run out of tl;dr eventually.)

"I have been waiting for the day I would see you," he tells her. "Here in your dream. You have truly become the maiden and lady I desperately sought." He presses his hand to hers, and smiles a gentle smile he means to be comforting.

And then it changes.
In an instant, the sky clouds over, the bright yellow suns obscured by clouds. The park empties, dead leaves skittering along the path and Hotaru spins, crying out for her mama, for papa, both seeming to have disappeared. They don't answer, though there's a ghostly laugh, the sounds sending shivers up her spine as she turns to try and find it.
"MAMA?! PAPA?!"Looking down, Hotaru screams, arms glinting with fine silver metal cables. A soft hum starts as her hands raise, feeling the skin of her cheeks. Panic rises at the texture, warm soft skin giving way to hard cold metal, smooth and perfect until it reaches her nose where it returns to ( ... )

But then it changes. The arcade hall starts changing its shape, giant pillars and walls rising up out of nowhere. Minoru can't make out much more aside from the pillars and walls before fire errupts from nowhere, from everywhere. He desperately looks around for an exit, because being burned alive in his dreams while he could be playing videogames with a cute girl instead is Do Not Want!
But why does this feel so familiar, like he has seen it before? He starts coughing, the smoke is getting too thick. Then something - someone? - appears in the distance, almost like it's reaching out for him. Then, before everything goes black, there's one soul-pierching male scream.

"Who are you?"

The figure inside was familiar but strange at the same time, which might lead to even more confusion for someone who wasn't familiar with Wicked Lady.
What will you do Helios? It's so familiar yet strange and wrong at the same time. It couldn't be because she was... no certainly it wasn't that!

"There is no Maiden here."

"Maiden," he calls her again, because that is who she is, who he has always sought, "Can you not see around you? This true dream of yours is altered only slightly. You are yourself."

"POKEMON STADIUM!! ARE YOU ALL READY...TO BRAWL!?" What looks to be some kind of a force field appears around the field before seemingly dissipating. "BRING OUT THE FIGHTERS FOR THE SMASH BROTHERS' FOUR-WAY BRAWL!!"
The crowd loses it at the announcement, screaming so loud that they can surely be heard in the next city over. And on the field, as if by magic, four golden statues appear on the platforms, glowing brightly before transforming into, respectively, dinosaur coming out of flames, very scared plumber coming out of a pipe, a...pink...thing....coming out of a tiny ball...and lastly, but of course not least, a pink ribboned silhouette that transforms into...a ( ... )

The violence of the dream surprises him, with the dream being hers. He knows her well; or had thought he did. He even knows the part of her that ran from fights at first.
Be that as it may, he cannot approach her until the... brawl?... ends; one more spectator has been added to the crowd, and it's a white-haired boy.

The fight starts and it is indeed brutal. The dinosaur is just chasing the plumber for some reason, seemingly oblivious to Sailor Moon or pink thing. This, of course, leaves those two to start fighting, and fight they do. Fortunately, Sailor Moon's size is helping her not be thrown too hard by the pink thing's attacks, somewhat, as is the fact that an item - a fan of all things - has randomly dropped down and Sailor Moon has grabbed it. So, the pink thing is now being mercilessly slapped.
Then, all of a sudden, something drops near the plumber...

A few spectators near him shout and cheer and groan as they watch the match, depending on their views, and he quietly asks one for an explanation when there's finally a calm moment, saying that it's his first time watching one.
