Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Really now? that's quite interesting, I'll have to look into that after this. Do you have the location of the source? If so, someone has to come back to the ship to watch over my patients and protect them from another possible attack."

"Hmm, I have a change in plan though, sent Ace on recon instead to the former tower. When he returns, we can make a better plan from there and that also gives us time to prepare, not much but just enough."

"Oh good, you here." (Hand Goggles over to Ace) Take good care of them, and good luck."

Jenna returned to the room Fozzil was in an brought another blanket for him. She gently threw it over his body, quietly leaving the room. This was the first time that Fozzil wasn;t around to crack any wierd jokes or devour food. She felt that their was something missing.

-----WITHIN FOZZIL'S SUBCONCIOUS-----

Fozzil rubbed his head, getting up from the earthen field that lay before him. He looked around him. There was a small clearing around him, which was surrounded by trees. The sky was a deep-blue and sun gleamed brightly

"Oh boy...that hurt. What happened? One minute, I was in a city. Now I'm in jungle-like area. Doesn't seem like there is anyone here, though..."

He glanced around again before calling out for his allies.

"GUYS? ANYONE? GUYS...?" Fozzil called out, but no one responded. "DAMN IT! This is what...the fifth time that I get seperated! GRRRAAAHHH!!!" He fumed as he stomped around.

His anger created a red mist that flew from him and sunk into the ground. The ground ruptured and twisted as a pyramid-like monument erupted from the earth. At the top of the near-featureless monutment was a brown coffin-like box with purple likes around it.

As the sound of Fozzil's anger, the coffin opened, releasing the being known only as Eradicator Skull.

The being was saurian in appearance, his wrists wrapped in chains. His face has features similar to a Triceratops, except more human in appearance. His glowing purple eyes piercing through Fozzil's soul. He wore pants that were darkened black by coal, with a chain holding up his pants. Spines made of bone stuck out of his back. Suprisingly, the being wasn't large or musclar to begin with, but fairly lean with slight muscle definition.
His feet were clawed like a T-Rex and eagerly clawed at the ground. A red headband was wrapped around his forehead, below his horns.

"Ah... Fozzil, welcome to your subconcious...!" He exclaimed with joy, grasping some fruit off a tree. "Here, have an apple."

Fozzil took the apple, and held it in his hand. "How might you be...? What are you here for?"

"Ah I thought you'd never ask... I am known as the Eradicator Skull. I am the source of your powers, good sir." He told him, wolfing down an apple out of the bunch he got from the tree, spitting out seeds which shot deep into the earth. "You are lucky! Although I formed from your anger, I am here to help."

"Hmm...Eradicator Skull, eh? How do I know I can trust you? I remember fighting Spyther without reason, consumed with rage. I'm sure it was you." He asked him, a slight bit more angry and taking a fighting stance.

"Relax, my boy, you have nothing to fear from me..." Eradicator Skull told him, leisurely devouring another apple. A smile spread on his face after eating the remnants of the apple...shooting out more seeds. "You friend was quite the fighter? I thought you could handle the power I had to offer, but it just corrupted you beyond normal levels."

"I am here now to teach you the ways of the forbidden Eradicator Skull technique, named after me of course." He heartily laughed, causing the earth around him to quake a bit. "I will help you to learn new techniques while you recover from the overload. Do you agree?"

Fozzil had no were to go and wasn't going to roam the dreamscape on his own. Who knows what could exist out there. Eradicator Skull knew my subconscious well. He tought it would be better to go with him, train and teach him about to improve his powers. Outside his mind he'd recover and be back up to speed in no time.

"Might as well train while I'm here...my body will take some time to repair itself. In the meantime, you train me in the ways of the Eradicator Skull technique. However, if you do anything shifty, I will fight you..." Fozzil said, sticking out his hand sternly.

"It's a deal, good sir..." His scaly hands grabing hold of Fozzil and wildly shaking his arm up and down. Fozzil was amazed by his strength.

He then began to march up the pyramid, changing his coffin into a glowing gateway. "Follow me, young Fozzil, there is much to teach you..."

Fozzil, charged forth, up the pyramid at blazing speed. Fozzil enetered the gateway...the Eradicator Skull following close behind.
