A giant clock has appeared above Toby and his dream beings, the second hand ticking as it pushes forward, going around as clocks do. The sudden appearance of this clock can only mean one thing, the high grade dragon known as Clockwork is coming to this domain.
Toby Robinson: Everyone stay back! (Toby warns them, fear written all over his face)
"Low Growl" (Browny sounded in worry, also afraid of the dangerous dragon)
Noble: What's going on? (Noble asked, not understanding what is going on)
Browny: The monster... Its coming here! (Browny warns them, dreading the thought of facing Clockwork again)
More clocks begin to materialize out of thin air, all ticking at the same time and at the same pace. This results in a maddening sound, which forces those who have hands to cover their ears, while the animals are forced to bare it.
The sky is soon littered by these synchronized clocks, and there seems to be no end to them. But then all of a sudden the clocks become silent, and slowly begin to drift towards each other, clustering together as one.
The clocks merge together in a blinding flash of green light, and moments later an enormous jade dragon takes their place in the sky, its terrifying presence looming over everyone in this domain.
Toby Robinson: It's here. (Toby muttered, staring up at the collosal high grade dream being)
The beast unleashes a mighty roar from its gaping maw, terrifying all in its presence. Thinking fast Charming grabs Toby's hand, making a hasty retreat with him.
Toby Robinson: Woah, woah, woah!!! (Toby yells as he is dragged off by Charming, his body almost falling to the ground several times)
Prince Charming: I'm sorry, My Lord! But we have to escape, that beast is enraged! (Charming explains as he runs away with Toby, still firmly holding his hand)
Browny and Noble quickly give chase, not slacking behind Toby and Charming, managing to keep up with them.
Prince Charming: Catch! (Charming said before hoisting Toby onto Browny's back, and then he leaps onto the back of Noble, galloping forward swiftly)
Browny and Noble race towards the edge of the domain, trying to escape from the fearsome dragon. But before they could get far, Clockwork's suddenly loses consciousness, its massive body crashing down on the royal castle, destroying the unfinished structure and blocking their path.
[Restoration Failed]
[Royal Castle Still Damaged]
A large cloud of dust now surrounds the mighty dragon, preventing Toby and the others from seeing what is going on. But eventually all that dust settles, and they can finally see the dragon, and it seems to be unconscious.
Toby Robinson: What is this? (Toby asks in confusion, unable to understand why the dragon is now unconscious before them)
Prince Charming: The dragon... (Charming said as he got off Noble's back, slowly approaching the large body of the beast)... It's in pain... Its been hurt. (Charming explains as he feels the dragon's body, noticing its laboured breaths)
Toby Robinson: Inspect. (Toby quietly said)
[Inspect]
[Name: Time Dragon (Clockwork)]

Toby Robinson: This is definitely the same dragon. The question is, what could have done this to it? (Toby wonders as he slowly approaches the beast)
But then out of nowhere a red portal suddenly manifests into existence, swirling as a circle at the centre of the domain. This grabs everyone's attention almost instantly, the portal casting its eerie glow on the space around it.
[Warning: Corruption Energy Detected]
[Be Wary]
Toby's eyes widen after reading this message, coming to the realization that he's about to encounter another corrupted dream being. And after his fight with the Mad Man, and the warning he received, he wants nothing to do with this.
Toby Robinson: Its a Corrupted Dream Being! Hide! (Toby exclaims, quickly rushing to hide behind the large body of the dragon, soon followed by Charming and the others)... If a corrupted dream being is able to do this to the dragon, then I don't even wanna know what it could do to us! We have to get out of here. (Toby explains to them)
Prince Charming: If our foe is strong enough to take down this dragon, then fleeing is indeed our best option. But how do we get away without getting noticed, the enemy might spot us once they exit that portal? (Charming asks, lowering his voice to avoid giving out their location)
Noble: Is fighting this enemy really not an option? (Noble asks)
Browny: Not unless you want to die. I've seen how strong corrupteds can be, and if this really is one, then running is our only option right now. (Browny explains to Noble)
Prince Charming: Please keep it down, you're going to give out our location. (Charming quietly tells Browny and Noble)... So what is our plan of escape? (Charming asks Toby)
Toby Robinson: I'm working on it. (Toby tells him, still trying to come up with a means of escape)... Wait a minute, I know exactly what to do to get us out of here! (Toby exclaims, quickly remembering what he can do to get out of this situation)
Prince Charming: What is it? (Charming asks)
Toby Robinson: Just try to keep an open mind... Tamed Holding! (Toby said before absorbing all his dream beings into his body, keeping them safe from harm)... Dream Door! (Toby says as he stretches forth his hand, summoning the dream door)... I can't believe I forgot about my skills. (Toby smiles as he watches the door appear before him, the thought of running away on foot now seeming ridiculous in hindsight)
[Dream Door Activated]
[-114 Dream Points]
[Dream Bank: 274 Dream Points]
The dream door materializes before the young dreamer, the destination already set for the Grassland. But just as he is about to open the door, he receives another message from the system.
[A Good Opportunity Has Presented Itself Before You]
[The Dragon Has Been Weaken From A Previous Battle, And Is Now Susceptible To Taming]
[Would You Like To Tame Him?]
Toby could not believe his eyes as he read this message, this was such an incredible opportunity for him. He could tame this mighty beast, without even having to fight it.
Toby Robinson: This is great! (Toby said as he stretches out his hand, touching the scaly body of the dragon)... Tame! (Toby said excitedly)
[Taming Failed]
[You Lack The Slots Needed For This Action]
[Tamed: 3/3]
Toby Robinson: Craaaaaaappp!!! (Toby almost screams out, painfully remembering he used his final slot to tame a horse)
"Yes." (A male voice spoke, snapping Toby out of his self pity almost instantly)... Yes I know I have failed you before, but this time is different. This time, I have your dragon, and it's not getting away from me." (The voice explains, the speaker stepping out of the red portal, holding what seems to be a phone in hand)
Toby Robinson: Who is that? (Toby wonders, taking a peak from his hiding spot behind the dragon, catching a glimpse of someone in red armour)... What is that?! (Toby exclaims as he quickly turns away, not wanting to be seen by the armoured man)
"You will have it very soon... I swear." (The armoured man assures the person he is talking to)
Meanwhile, at the Conscious World. Zeus Eduardo Everest is sitting at the back of his expensive black vehicle, being driven by his driver, Gregorio. His arms were folded, his eyes were closed, and his mind was elsewhere, because he is the person the man is speaking with.
Zeus Eduardo Everest: It better be soon, you idiot! If I don't get that dragon today, there will be hell to pay you hear?! (Zeus threatens him, his thoughts serving as a means of communication)
Back at the dream world, the armoured man hears Zeus's words loud and clear, and is visibly shaken by them.
"Understood." (The man replied, the object in his hand soon vanishing into thin air)... Scary. (He said timidly, before turning his attention back to the time dragon)
Toby is still watching the armoured man, he doesn't want to leave before finding a way to tame this dragon. But for now that is not possible.
Toby Robinson: What kind of armor is that? It's unlike anything I've ever seen. Could this person be a Dreamer... Like me? (Toby wonders, watching this individual closely)... Inspect. (Toby whispers)
[Inspect Failed]
Toby Robinson: What? (Toby exclaims in shock after reading this message, his inspect skill failing for the first time)
[You Have Encountered A Very Dangerous Individual]
[Run]
Toby Robinson: Crap, Crap, Crap! I have to get out of here! (Toby decided before quickly turning around, running towards the dream door)
But just as the young dreamer is about to open the door, he suddenly remembers something important. The dream door wasn't the only skill he got recently, there was one more, the Forced Bond Skill.
[Forced Bond: This skill forces an unstable bond between dreamers and dream beings, resulting in an incomplete taming. This causes the dream beings to enter a wild and unpredictable state, remaining so until the taming process is complete]
Toby Robinson: If it's the only way to get this dragon, then I have to use the Forced Bond! (Toby decided before rushing towards the dragon, his hand outstretched to touch its body)... Force Bond! (Toby said determinately, touching the body of the beast and activating the skill)
[Forced Bond Activated]
[-205 Dream Points]
[Dream Bank: 69 Dream Points]
Particles of energy begin to leave Toby's body, all entering the massive body of Clockwork. The man carefully approaches the dragon, but stops once he sees particles of blue light surrounding the body.
"What is that?" (He asked, confused by the sudden lightshow)
[Forced Bond Complete]
[Bonded: 1/3]
Toby Robinson: Now... Tamed Holding! (Toby said before absorbing Clockwork into his body, making the jade dragon disappear in a matter of seconds)
Toby breathes heavily, a little exhausted after using so much power. But then he realizes that the body of the dragon is no longer there to hide him, meaning he is completely exposed to the red armoured man.
Toby Robinson: Crap, I totally forgot! (Toby thought to himself, nervously taking a couple steps back)
"No, No, Noooo!!! Do you have any idea what you've done?! (The man cries out in intense rage, his body exuding an insane amount of pressure)... I'll kill you!!! (He bellows before rushing forward, moving fast enough to close the distance between them in moments)
