A scared Theodore and Shawn were being escorted by a pack of five Impure Troops down a hallway. The hallway they were walking in stretched out for miles. Darkness and coldness dominated the hallway in such a way that made Theodore and Shawn uncomfortable. The hallway was similar to looks found in a dark castle pathway.
Shawn checked out from the arched windows to see an advanced downtown city. Buildings of random designs appeared dark and intimidating. He felt that only evil people could dwell there. The skies were calm with a few clouds out. Unlike the rest of the environment, it carried no form of corruption. Daylight shined into the hallway but barely. Shawn scared of the city’s appearance turned to the troops in a state of panic.
Shawn: “Where are you taking us?!? Please!! Let’s us go!!”
Troop 84: “Never… Your fate is sealed when you became aware of our presence… If your friend here didn’t play hero, you would be back in the Earthbound Existence tormented by demonic spirits… Now, you will be converted…”
Theodore: “Hey!! You are the bad guys here!! What you do is prey on people for your dark ambitions!!”
Troop 84: “You’re right but what will Mr. Hero do? If you think summoning your weapon is enough to stop us then you are delusional… Now enough talk or we will shoot you in the back…”
After their time walking down the dark path, they soon ended up into a dark lab. Looking at the lab, it was a rectangular room that carried dark and evil vibes. The dark ceiling descended downwards as an upside-down pyramid at the center of the room.
Beneath it was a dark machine that looked dark and intimidating in appearance. It had a spherical object suspended by four dark support columns. The spherical object was radiating dark energies of hatred and evilness. Four see-through windows were connected in between the columns. One of the windows functioned like a door. Inside the machine was a chamber made for one person. The machine had three steps leading into it since the platform that was 2 feet up from the ground. A panel was on one side of the machine which controlled how the machine functioned.
Some Impure Troops were inspecting the machine. Others were checking the controls to the machine through a panel. They were making tests to ensure that the machine was working properly.
On both sides of the room, there were jail cells containing many scared and depressed people. The people were not aliens but were humans of different races and backgrounds. Some cried out of fear while others were appearing strong for the group.
Theodore and Shawn trembled in the sight of it all. Their fear increased even more when they noticed a creature walking to them. Looking at the creature, it had grey hair that covered its face. Only its yellow eyes could be seen. The dark yellow cloak he wore gave him the image of being in charge of the operation. He glanced to Theodore and Shawn with a cold stare.
Dark Being 1: “Hello Humans... Welcome to the Conversion Room… Let me introduce myself to you... I am Hosjoster, Impure Lieutenant of Reality... And I know who you are... Dream Club Members Theodore and Shawn...”
Theodore: “I guess we are popular to the Impure Order...”
Hosjoster: “How about I show you how you will be converted...”
Theodore: “Converted?”
Hosjoster snapped his fingers causing the Impure Troops in the area to respond. They went to the cells to summon out a person they felt could serve as an example. They saw a 40-year-old middle-aged business man being taken out. The man was resisting them out of pure anger but the troops were stronger than him. They proceeded in dragging him to the machine.
Person: “You demons! Let me go! This has to be a nightmare!!”
Troop 45: “Silence you human! Don’t you see we are trying to make you better!?!”
The man was forced into the machine before the transparent chamber door sealed him in. He banged on the door while yelling at the troops to release him. The troop standing on the platform glanced at a troop at the controls. She gave off an evil smile before pressing a button.
A rush of dark energy rained down on the man to immediately force him to his knees. Such dark energy formed smoke that consumed him from sight. Everyone could only hear the sounds of his yelling and fists banging on the doors. Eventually, they heard nothing.
The chamber door moved up for a rush of smoke to escape out. Out from the dark smoke, the people saw the man with an evil grin on his face. Evilness and hatred now dominated him. Theodore and Shawn stared at the man with eyes full of fear. One of the Impure Troops went to the man.
Troop 45: “How do you feel now? Will you embrace power and dominance?”
Person: “Yes... I will embrace these things as my guides. Anyone who defies the Impure Order shall suffer!!”
Troop 45: “Good...”
The Impure Troops guided the man to the other side of the machine. Hosjoster stared directly to Theodore.
Hosjoster: “It’s your turn... Get into the machine...”
Theodore expressed deep fear when he saw the troops slowly approaching him. They grabbed him and like the man, they were pushing Theodore to the machine. He tried to resist by sitting down but they picked him up and dragged him. In the end, the troops were able to force him where they want him to be.
A restrained Shawn looked on with a sense of fear for his friend. He turned to Hosjoster who appeared to be observing the sight.
Shawn: He expressed panic. “Please sir!!! Please don’t do this!!! If you let us go, we promise never to get in your way again!! We promise!!!”
Hosjoster: “You are a threat if you don’t side with us… You don’t know how valuable you two really are… Once he is converted, it will be your turn…”
Shawn: “Please No!!! Please!!!”
Shawn started crying out of fear that the troops were laughing at him. Hosjoster shook his head expressing disgust.
Near the machine, Theodore expressed nothing but pure panic. He looked around for any way to escape but the opportunity didn't arrive. He saw Shawn crying out of fear then he turned to Hosjoster with anger.
Theodore: “You monster! You won’t get away with this! I’ll find a way to stop you!”
Hosjoster: “If you had powers, you could be capable of stopping the troops but who will stop me...? Now enough wasting time and accept your destiny...”
The Impure Troops forcefully pushed him into the machine. As he could escape, the chamber door closed on him. Like a helpless child, he was trapped where he was afraid of what was about to come next. A rush of dark energies poured down on him forcing him to his knees. He tried to resist the pure hatred and evilness the machine was giving him. Dark smoke soon consumed him from peoples' view. Hosjoster, Shawn and the troops watched on as they heard Theodore's yells. His yells soon went to silence.
Shawn: “Theodore!!!”
When the doors moved up, Hosjoster and the Impure Troops looked on with anticipation. Shawn looked on worried of what the machine did to his friend. Out from the smoke, Theodore emerged with an evil grin on his face. Shawn moved back in fear.
Shawn: “Theodore… What have they done to you…?”
Hosjoster appearing satisfied walked over to observe Theodore.
Hosjoster: “How are you feeling? Have you finally accepted Impurity in your life?”
Theodore: “Yea! I was a fool to go against the Impure Order. Now, I can experience what the Impure Order could offer me! Can't wait!”
He started to laugh evilly with his arms up in the air.

Hosjoster: “Good that you're enjoying yourself... I will escort you to a place where I will give you further instructions…”
Hosjoster stared directly to Shawn.
Hosjoster: “Now, it is your turn Shawn…”
Shawn: “Please!!! I’m promise!!! I’ll do mostly anything you want just don’t convert me too!!!”
Hosjoster: “What I want is for you to be converted like your friend… Now go…”
The troops that were restraining Shawn started to drag him to the machine. During the way, Shawn was pleading and begging for the troops to release him.
Hosjoster was walking Theodore to the other side of the machine. Soon, Theodore placed his hands on his head. He wasn’t able to move.
Hosjoster: “What’s wrong Theodore?”
Hosjoster’s eyes expressed disbelief and the troops moved back in fear. At the machine, the troops were pushing Shawn into the machine. Shawn was breaking down in tears not wanting to go in. Soon, the troops stopped pushing him. With a look of disturbance on their faces, they turned to observe Theodore. Shawn too looked on with curiosity to what was happening to his friend.
What they saw was the darkness being lifted from Theodore’s body. When all the darkness was gone, Theodore with a sense of confusion shook his head. Observing himself, he discovered that the darkness forced upon him was gone.
Theodore: “That’s what it was like to be converted... I hate it... I'm just glad I’m back to normal...” He gave off a smile.
Shawn started to go from fear to relief.
Shawn: “Theodore’s back!! Thank goodness!!”
Hosjoster: “This is impossible... How did he manage to reverse the effects of conversion...? This has never happened before...”
Hosjoster stared at Theodore with cold eyes. Theodore turned his attention to Hosjoster and the angered troops. His smile went to concern when he knew he was in trouble. The troops summoned out their weapons ready to fire at him.
He stood in one place to look at the two exits on both sides of the room. The situation he faced was the troops. There were too many of them blocking his and Shawn’s way to freedom. Hosjoster walked to Theodore with serious eyes.
Hosjoster: “You are one of the lucky ones... You are indeed special… That means the way you will be converted will be painful... This to make sure that your conversion process will be permanent... Troops, place Shawn into a cell… I want to make an example out of Theodore first…”
The troops agreed before dragging Shawn away from the machine and to a gate full of people. One of the troops input a code to allow the cell doors to open. They force Shawn into the cell before locking it up tight. Shawn held the bars with a look of fear on his face.
Shawn: “Theodore can’t face against the creatures… He will be done for!!”
The Impure Troops started to approach Theodore from all sides. Theodore summoned his weapon but a with few arrow shots from the troops, his weapon shattered immediately leaving him defenseless. With his weapon now back as his book pendant, he held it not knowing what to do.
Theodore: He shook in fear. “I have to find a way to stop these creatures... I need to know how to use powers from this book. It's my only hope that I have to wipe them away, save my friend and to wake up from this horrible place.”
The troops began firing at him. Some of their shots hit the cells producing sparks. The imprisoned people along with Shawn had to move back from the bars to avoid getting hit.
Theodore tried to dodge their attacks but got hit by two arrows across his body. He went to the ground then moved himself back to the bars scared. Shawn was looking down at Theodore concerned about his wellbeing. His concern grew when the Impure Troops pointing their arrows directly to Theodore. Theodore’s eyes were full of fear when he saw the tip of their arrows near his face.
Hosjoster: “Finish him...”
Shawn: “Theodore!!”
Theodore closed his eyes expecting the worse. Instead, he heard nothing but blowing wind. He opened his eyes to find himself in a different place that looked like the desert. It went on for miles in every direction. The hot, burning sun touched his skin but it wasn't causing him sunburn. It was actually soothing to him and even comforting. Winds blew sand to random areas to form sand dunes of various heights.
He slowly got up to find that his shirt was restored as brand new. Checking himself, he discovered that he was fine and well. The threat to which he faced was over.
Theodore: “Wait a minute? This place looks too familiar...”
He reflected on the last time he was there. A flash of remembrance soon took hold of him.
Theodore: He expressed a cheerful attitude. “Oh yeah!! This place is one of the places the angel lady showed me!”
A bright light emerged in front of him. With a look of wonder, he paid attention to the light for a few seconds. The light soon receded revealing to him the Lady of the Light. Theodore started to give off a happy grin as if happy to see her.
Lady of Light: “I welcome you back on the World of Transcendence. I see that you are engaging against the Impure Troops. It seems that they have captured you and Shawn. They brought you to the Conversion Room to be converted.”
Theodore: “Wait a minute? How do you know that? I haven’t seen you there.”
Lady of Light: “In the Pure Existence, I could see what goes on in the Physical, Dream and all Existences. I’ve seen you have already learned to summon the weapon of your Awakening Book but have yet to awaken your powers from it. It is here in the Desert of Manifestation where you will discover them.”
Theodore: “Okay then… What do I have to do?”
Lady of Light: “All you have to do is to experience what the Desert of Existence has to offer you. I’ll meet you at the end of your experiences here.”
The Lady of the Light disappeared in light leaving Theodore alone in the desert. He started to reflect.
Theodore: “I remember only seeing this place for a few seconds the last time. Now, I get to experience it more in depth!!”
Suddenly, winds started to pick up around him to form into a sandstorm. He covered himself as it consumed him. The visibility was so low that he could only see a few inches from his face. Sand was hitting his body from all sides but it wasn't painful. He felt the forces of wind but it wasn't too strong to push him over.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself on a beautiful tropical island. The non-ending sea surrounded the island in every direction. On the island, he saw it to be the cutest place he had ever seen. He saw pink flowers all around the environment. Palm trees with yellow flowers in their leaves were located in random areas on the island. Lovely flowers emitted out a sweet scent that made him feel at ease. The environment itself was well organized as if each thing there were carefully placed correctly.
At the heart of the island, he looked on with curiosity to find a female version of himself sitting on a rock. Looking at her outfit, she dressed in white and pink colors. Cuteness radiated out from her. She was singing out a beautiful tune while relaxing in nature. Daylight shined down to her from above making her glow in beauty.
Suddenly, another sandstorm started happening from nowhere. It eventually consumed him. He covered himself as the sandstorm kept blowing pass him. Once the sandstorm cleared up, he found himself in a quiet village. The village contained old fashioned buildings that were alien in design. For instance, the shape of the housing resembled trees. The walls appeared like tree barks while the roof was the tree leaves. The buildings vary in looks a bit but generally appeared the same.
At the heart of the environment, there was an elderly man that looked like an older version of Theodore. He was in a meditative pose chanting words repeatedly. The language he spoke was alien but Theodore felt that he was praying.
Soon, another sandstorm hit Theodore causing his surroundings to disappear from his sights. Once the sandstorm receded, he found himself in an advanced city. He saw buildings similar to the ones on Earth. The difference was that they had triangular tops instead of a flat surface. Many of the buildings had colors of grey, red or blue.
There was so much noise from the dense population of citizens and holographic display monitors. The monitors were playing on the sides and on top of some buildings to show alien forms of content. He could faintly hear music and laughs by the people as well. Although he didn't understand it, he had the look of enjoying it.
He also took note of the species inhabiting the city. They were of a variety of different species. Some appeared close to human-like but the rest appeared alien. He saw the following species:
‘V’ head shaped, sky yellow species that appeared serious and intelligent. They dressed in robes as if to show their high class in the society.
‘T’ body shaped purple species that had small heads. They walked as if they couldn't move their arms.
An orange haired creature had its hair so curly that it covered the creature’s face. It could still move around as if it could see perfectly.
A brown skinned creature had yellow hair around its body. The hairstyle was similar to ice cream on an ice cream cone. Miniature versions of that creature were following it. It was guiding it’s offspring like a mother duck guiding her ducklings.
In the group of moving creatures, he saw a person looking like an alien version of himself. The person had a body showing that he was from under the sea. He acted with similar behaviors to Theodore. The difference was that he was far more confident and studious than Theodore. Theodore observed the person exploring the city of its diversity and wonders. Soon, a flash of remembrance got to Theodore's attention.
Theodore: “I... I understand how to use my powers…”
A flash of light emerged to reveal the Lady of the Light again. Theodore turned to face her.
Lady of Light: “Well done Theodore. You have remembered your powers. You now embody the powers of existence. You have the power to manifest things through the use of your mind. With your powers, your mind will be enhanced to the level where you can create a mental existence within you. Your mind will help you to form whatever experience you want.”
Theodore: “Really? That’s cool then!!”
Lady of Light: “Since you have what you need, it’s time for you to return back.”
A flash of light overtook his sights. The downtown city he was seeing slowly disappeared from his sights. He instantly woke up out of his vision experience. When he opened his eyes, he forced himself back to the cell bars out of panic. In front of him were the Impure Troops. Their weapons were pointed directly to his face. Fear quickly returned to him with the realization that he was back in the nightmare.
Theodore: “Whoa... That was a wild experience… Thanks to the angel lady, I know how to use my powers… Time to turn this nightmare into a superb dream experience!”
With a smile, he placed his finger indexes together on his book pendant. With a spin, his book pendant was turned into an arrow. From it, a rush of green energy emerged from his weapon. The energy started to push on the people and Shawn. The people and Shawn were soon able to regain their footing to witness a great sight.
Shawn: “Amazing… Is that Theodore’s power? He is all glowing in green light…”
The rest of the people appeared amazed by Theodore’s power. Theodore amazed grabbed his weapon firmly while looking at it.
Hosjoster’s eyes began to express curiosity. The rest of the troops backed away from him surprised. They appeared stunned at first before regaining back their composures.
Theodore: He smiled confidently. “You beings will now have the disadvantage!”
