Chapter 1: Subconscious Coastline
Duchess is walking along the coastline of Crystal Sands in the dead of the night, when nobody was around, and the tranquil quiet calmed her greatly, until when a mysterious figure rises from the waters below. She turned her head to see the figure, and saw that it has a mass of giant, oily, tentacles reflecting off the moonlight. It's face rose out of the water, revealing a flat-faced, dark-skinned creature, who grinned with fire in their eyes, revealing a set beaked fangs. It continued to rise out of the water, and Duchess then realized that A. It was female, & B. it was naked. She wanted to retch, but somehow didn't feel like it. The figure then rose completely out of the water, reflecting the moonlight off of her chest, face, and legs. Duchess noticed it was bipedal, and that there were noticeable differences between her arms and legs. The figure continued walking toward her, until it was about 5 feet from her. It then spoke in a haunting and echo-y voice, as if it surrounded her on all sides.

"I see you have a predicament in your immediate future." Said the figure.

"I do, but who are you?" Duchess replied.

The figure giggled tauntingly, as she bounced around Duchess, gyrating her chest in a mesmerizing fashion.

"I am Marina, a specter of the dreamscape. I protect the dreams of creatures like you." She says calmly.

"If you go through dreams of everyone in Jamaa, why have I never seen you before, and why are you naked? Especially concerning your... plunging top?" Duchess questions her.

"Fine. I'll change." Marina says, before wispy, black magic veiled her body, and soon whisked away to reveal an exuberant dark purple and black dress, with black crystal shards highlighting the dress, and white fur along the rims of the dress. Duchess is enamored with the dress' detail and intricacies.

"But I must tell you why I am here." Marina says solemnly.

"I must test you for the road you walk ahead. You need to have the right mindset to face the phantom forces."

A portal opens up behind her, and makes a gesture for Duchess to enter it. Duchess complies and hops into the portal unbeknownst to the test that lie before her.

Chapter 2: The Pearlverizer
Duchess opens her eyes to see that her clothing has changed from her red investigator's outfit to a black and green jacket, with matching pants, shoes, and headphones. She saw an odd weapon at her feet. It shared the color scheme of her outfit, and pulled the trigger. It fired a small glob of ink, which made her really confused. She looked around her to see that she was in a ruined laboratory, with semi-live wires hinging from the ceiling, along with lab equipment and machines busted along the walls. She then saw that she was standing on a tall, seemingly new metal column, and turned in the direction of a giant black puddle of ink on the ground in front of her. She walks up to it but before she can do anything, hears magical noises from behind her. She turns around to see.

"Kana! Toby! What you guys doing here?" Duchess exclaims before going up to hug them.

"I don't know. We were having a shared dream, and suddenly-"

"A nude bipedal creature tells you she has a test for you?" Duchess says, cutting off Kana's response.

"Um... Yeah... How did you-"

"Just happened to me." She says cutting off Toby.

Duchess looks at the both of them and notices they are in different clothing. Toby is in a pure Lime Green Jacket, and wearing deep black and orange snow boots. He is also wearing a slicker headset replacing the two long arcing wires with a one-piece holographic headset. The whole outfit was similar to hers, but Kana's outfit was completely different. Kana had no headset, but a pair of Neon Red Glasses, with a bright red light in one side of the lens, but not the other. He was also wearing a Black Leather Vest, with a zipper off-center. He was also wearing a pair of tight leather pants, and some Silver-Strap Buckle Boots.

"You guys just get these on?" Duchess inquires.

"Yup." Kana & Toby say in unison.

The ground then begins to shake. And then the giant black puddle begins to erupt with darkness. A giant machine rises out of the puddle, and the only thing that can be heard is a set of cackling coming from it. It stops rising from the black ink, and all noise stops. The ground stops shaking. The howling laughter ceases. Now it is silent. For a few seconds, nobody heard anything until Duchess picked up on a set of faint metal clicks. Suddenly a figure appears on top of the hulking metal mass, It ha white skin, but it was hard to tell due to the figure wearing a giant, angular, black-painted, Skull Mask. It hid half the figure's face from sight, only two fierce eyes and a white forehead could seen from behind the mask. The figure then spoke in a gravely, yet high-pitched tone, with mechanized voice modulation on top of it all.

"Well, if it isn't the little squid squad! Lookie Marina at how tough they look!" The figure said in a baby voice. Marina popped up beside it, also wearing a giant skull mask but with different makings.

"Oh wow! They do look so adorable in their little costumes!" Marina says also in a baby voice with all the other voice modulation same as the other figure.

Suddenly, a voice comes from behind.

”Your corrupted minds have led you astray, ladies!”

Everybody turns to see that a figure, similar to Marina and the other figure. It is male, and is wearing a Black Cloak with electric blue highlights, and a black hat in the same coloration. He speaks again.

“My friends and I will teach you a lesson, and nothing will stop us! The magic of my melodies shall be your undoing.” He says with determination, as he pulls out a very interesting guitar.

”We will show you no mercy, you over glorified artist!” Marina and the figure reply angrily.

"Pearlie, kill them. KILL THEM ALL!!!” Marina screams antagonistically.

Before Duchess, Kana, or Toby have any time to react, The unknown figure hops down from the giant machine, revealing that she (They Figure its a she) is wearing a giant get of knight armor, and lands on the puddle in front of them.

The figure in the back strikes a chord on his guitar, and the battle began.

Chapter 3: Duchess & the 7th Heaven
Play Song while reading chapter. Pearlverized (Trust Me, It helps) (Credit to Jonny Atma & Jun Ishikawa)

The back figure plays an set of chords on his guitar as Pearl taunts Duchess with chaotic movement. As the set of beginning guitar strikes end, Marina begins to fight the figure behind them with a set of crashing drum beats. Pearl lunges at Duchess, but she dodges out of the way. Pearl then turns right at her again, and continues a string of attacks with a giant sword encased in the same black ink. Duchess continues to avoid her onslaught, until she realizes to use her weapon. She fires it off in Pearl's face, and it seemed to do a bit of damage. Toby & Kana pick up on this, and get their weapons to shoot Pearl. They continue to bombard her with Green, Red, and Blue ink, while the music battle behind goes somber. The music suddenly kicks up a bit, as after taking enough shots, Pearl then begins to shake and scream demonically, and then violently explodes in a mass of multi-colored ink, just as a mesmerizing crash of drums and guitar chord strike harmoniously. Marina, now infuriated by her sister's defeat, fills the machine she is standing on with a black magic, and then it begins to move, it makes an Earth-Shattering leap off the ground, revealing its true from, The Blobulord. It is a giant mech resembling a bathtub, and Marina then continues to throw down on the drums, to which the behind figure begins to shred on his guitar, somehow filling Duchess, Kana, and Toby with extreme magic power. The giant mecha bathtub then launches giant black bubbles at the heroes, who dodge with ease, as the magic shredding of the figure fills them with determination. The Blobulord runs across the battlefield, while Duchess lands blow after blow, seeming to cut the black magic from the machine. Toby and Kana sprint across the battlefield, acting as a distraction to help Duchess destroy the machine. Duchess soon pelts the leg with enough supercharged ink to the point of it giving out, immobilizing the mech. They then shoot the mech to kingdom come, as Marina tries to bring out the power of her drums to counterattack, to no avail. The figure then shreds an penultimate series of chords, swelling Duchess' power, as she leaps into the air. She raises one paw as Toby and Kana continuously scream.

"BOOYAH!" They scream over and over again, growing the giant amalgamation of ink and musical might in Duchess' paw grows enormous. As the final shred plays, Duchess throws the ink mass into the heart of the mech, bringing it to an absolute ruin. The heroes scream and cheer, soon turning around to that the stranger, whom to their confusion, has turned around, revealing a Neon blue 7 on the back of his jacket. He then vanishes in front of their eyes, as the last of the musical determination runs dry.

Chapter 4: Return of The Nightmare King
Marina's blasted hand then strikes out of the rubble, and Duchess turns around in confusion and anger.

"HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE, YOU PSYCHO!?" She exclaims.

Marina begins to laugh as she begins to rise out of the destroyed machine, but her laughter is... different. Is is more distorted, it's no longer sickeningly sweet, now it is raspy, cruel, and chaotic. Her upper body is now completely visible, her skin is ripped, body contorted in agonizing ways, with black and purple pus pulsing out of the wounds. She continues laughing, but now it seems masculine, and then she rises out of the mass, floating above the wreckage. She is now cackling maddeningly, and her eyes are now glowing bright yellow. Out of nowhere, a giant, pointed, purple hand rips out of her torso as she goes limp. A second hand protrudes from the cavity, and then Marina's whole being is ripped completely in half. Duchess and her friends look on in horror, as they gaze at the cloaked mass floating above them.

"Yes, Yes, YES!!!! My plan vorked! SCREEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The new figure screeched.

"Plan? What plan? Marina! EXPLAIN." Duchess demanded.

"Vehehe. Your Marina was made of vies I tell you, VIES!!!" It screeches again.Toby and Kana look on in astonishment. The figure soars down to Duchess. It was bat-like, with vampire fangs, and bat wings, purple clawed arms, and even a bat bow tie. Standing next to it gave Duchess chills, as it seemed to be emanating a nightmarish energy.

"Ah, I have not explained myself, have I?" It said to Duchess.

"I am ze great Antasma! King of Nightmares, and destroyer of dreams. Screeheheheheee!"

Duchess is baffled at his existence.

"But- and- WHAT?" Duchess says, questioning everything.

"You vell for my trap! You accepted Marina's challenge! You villed her! Screeeeee!"

"What trap?" Duchess asks.

"This One." Antasma replies.

The ruins of the lab vanish to nothing, as the room bursts into a purple, red, and black nightmare, as Antasma screeches maddeningly once again, as he grows in his size and power. The world around them seemed to melt away, revealing the true nightmare within.

Antasma had grown to a massive size, and wavered over the trio, cackling again.

"I haven't had a good meal in decades!" He says before licking his lips.

Duchess, Kana, and Toby stand in fear until Toby remembers Four simple words.

"Its just a dream." He says. Duchess and Kana realize the fact and repeat the words.

"Its just a dream!" They continue repeating it as Antasma looks on in defiance.

"IT IS JUST A DREAM!" They say in unison.

A bright light then envelops their sight, and Duchess finally wakes up, quite exasperated. She checks the clock. 6:30. She gets her gear, grabs her cloak, and books it to the Alpha Headquarters.
