Void Valley

A mysterious dream girl appears in Void Valley. Perhaps she is from the world of consciousness. Suddenly, she hears a cry for help, and she tracks down the source of the voice. There she finds a troubled magician creature dangling inside the cage over the Void Wurm's hole.

"HELP!!! Somebody save me! Some mean brutes left me hanging from this branch, and now I'm about to be eaten by a Void Wurm! Save me, and I will reward you!"

"Don't worry! I can help you." The girl replied, and all of a sudden plants around her start to appear. A giant mushroom pops up beneath her and sends her to the cage. She spawns out a long flower club and breaks the magician free, and grabs his hand from the mouth of the Void Wurm. "Are you alright?" The girl asked, "You must be having a hard time in there."

"Yes, well... I'm not surprised if [i]you'll be the next to have one."

"Wait... what?!"

"PSYCHE!!!" The magician shoots electric bolts at the screaming girl, causing her to explode. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to talk to strangers?! MWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!! At last! I am free to cause mayhem again! And that was phase one of my plan! There are still more to do!!"

With that, the magician escapes with devious glee as his plan is about to set motion.

From the physical world, someone is dreaming...

His consciousness has manifested in this realm...

Cerulean Jigsaw has appeared in the Void Valley. Looking around, he tries to evaluate his surroundings...with little luck.

"Where...Where is this...?" he wondered out loud.

Wandering about, Jigsaw tries to see if anyone is around.

"H...Hello? Is anyone out there?? Anyone??"

There didn't seem to be a soul in sight...

"Oh boy... {out loud} I-If someone...or something could just give me a sign, I'd really appreciate it!"

Soon, he saw a group of people in the distance. Among them, a boy seemed to be leading them.

"(!) H-Hey! You over there!" Jigsaw made his way toward this group.

"(!) Shh!" the boy chided. "Quiet, or they'll find us!"

Jigsaw made it near the group, and what he saw was a bunch of children with what seemed like plush animal heads (of reddish, light-colored, and dark-colored hues). The boy leading them had a white wolf head, with gold and silver eyes. Around his wrists are bracers equipped with key-like attachments.

"(?!) U-U-Uhhh...!" Jigsaw was somewhat surprised by the kids' appearance.

"U-U-Uhhh what?" the wolf-faced boy said. "What are you trying to say, dreamer? 'Unreal' or something?"

"Err..." Jigsaw had to keep cool - manners first. "...Who do you...mean by...'they'?"

Just then, from out of one of the holes in the area, a large black silhouette of a spiky arm burst out, reaching skyward and giving off a shady red glow. The kids with the wolf-boy were frightened, hiding behind him and Jigsaw. Jigsaw was even more frightened by this arm's entrance. The arm then slammed down, reaching toward the kids.

"G-Go!" the wolf-boy said, sparking up his keys. With them, he conjured a portal, which the kids started going to.

"But what about you, Wi-Paw??" a girl with a pale-yellow mouse head asked timidly.

"I...I'll figure something out," the wolf-boy, Wi-Paw, said. "But for now, you gotta get to where they can't hurt you!"

So all the doll-headed kids got through the portal before it closed up. Wi-Paw yanked Jigsaw away from the arm's attempted grab.

"W-What about me??" Jigsaw asked, close to panicking.

"You're dreaming, duh!" Wi-Paw replied. "Pinch your face or something!"

"Wh...? Dreami - ?"

Impatient, Wi-Paw delivered a pinch to Jigsaw's cheek himself, making the dreamer warp away from the Dream Dimension in a beam of light. This left the boy to escape the arm's attack...
