"No! Please, you're not dreaming, you're not hallucinating, this isn't fake. It's real. All of this. I know, it's hard to understand, but it's all true. You have to believe me. Just... try and use your power, you'll see."

At that Jason turned around. "Exactly what a dream person would say" he said annoyed now. "I'll show you its a dream and I'm in control" saying that more to convince himself than anything he reached into his pocket and pulled out a device with a small screen. "This is a small idea of mine its a device that will be used to hook up to my schools security system giving me full access. Its not finished yet as I only though of it last week but I am sure it will work." Jason said very confident in himself. "So since this is a dream I will prove you wrong you fucking piece of my imagination" he yelled as he slammed his hand into the halfway working device.

I stayed silent as everything around me went to shit. Powers? What? I'm not sure what's going on. Whatever.

I rifled through their pockets, taking what I could. Surely they wouldn't notice me in the heat of battle.

I pulled up my hood and walked the other way. Maybe that concrete thing wouldn't notice me. Oh, I really hope so.

I suddenly wake up feeling much better.
-Cole, are you still here?
-Sir! You've woken up! I was worried for you. What happened?
-Well, at the lab i was atta... (Maybe telling him isn't the greatest idea)... I just tripped over some bottles and i guess i inhaled some gas. I'm ok now, thank you for taking care of me.
-No problem, sir. Glad i could help.
-Anything happened while i slept?
-Some small explosions around town, causes unknown. Why?
-I dreamed some... things. Anyways even though i feel better i'll go to the hospital. That sli... Gas is pretty toxic, you know?
-Good idea. Do you need anything else from me sir?
-No, actually... Take a day off. You deserve it.

We both left the building, Cole heading home while I headed for the hospital. According to my weird dreams those weren't simple explosions. Assassination attempts and paranormal activities. I had to find out what's that all about.

(I wonder if my dreams mean anything... I'm halfway there, i guess i'll find out)

If Tyler were to look at the street, he'd find it oddly destructed by something that seemed to rise directly from its interior, and he could hear a few screams from the road towards the hospital. He also hears someone running behind him, and then he is suddenly thrown into the ground by a redheaded girl crashing into him, followed by another guy also falling over both of them.

And then a disturbing vibration happens on the ground, as if a concrete construct is stepping on it.

|Glade @Strikingwolf |
|Streets|

Running away from everything, Glade notices that the streets seems to be destroyed like something went out of it like that guy's stomach in Alien. Distracted by the bizzare visage, she bumps into a guy with golden headphones and fancy clothing before tripping over him, and all of a sudden it seems like another person has fallen, which is true, another person has tripped over the mess and fallen over the two.

And then a disturbing vibration happens on the ground, as if a concrete construct is stepping on it.

|Christopher @ThomazM |
|Streets|

As Chris turn to the left, he notices the broken street like a pipe were to be catapulted off its interiors, and he doesn't notice the mess of people before tripping into two of them and falling over a redheaded girl and guy with fancy clothing and golden headphones, as his glasses fall off his face.

And then a disturbing vibration happens on the ground, as if a concrete construct is stepping on it.

|Esaias @Nisteth |
|Streets|

Noticing that the asphalt seems to be ripped in the same way as the concrete, Esaias keeps running before noticing a mass of people who appear to have tripped over one another. The Hospital isn't too far away from now, and if you squint you can see an asphalt man approaching it. You can hear the concrete man approaching with an incredible speed for its size.

Her heart races as she hears him approaching, and just as it sounds like it's right above her, she bolts upright onto her legs, still holding the kickstand, and tosses it at the concrete man with full force. Metal, long... if it had a pointed tip, it would essentially be a bullet. But it's better than a bullet. Hopefully, due to the immense force, and how solid concrete is, it'll shatter and turn into a massive barrage of shrapnel. Then again, I'm no weapons expert. At the very least, a point blank, solid steel kickstand is going to leave a mark.

Esaias gazes over to the pile of people, and rolls her eyes. Today is just my lucky day. "HEY! You might wanna get outta here, this guy isn't exactly friendly! Judging by how he's hunting me and there's another guy over there, there's probably more people involved in... whatever the HELL is happening right now over at the hospital!"

I turned my head around to see a giant monstrosity dadhing towards me and these other guys. After hearing the girl's warnings I jumped on to my legs and backed away.
"Whatever that is... We need to get away!", I said, grabbing the other two who tripped and starting running like crazy.

|Yep, going to first person POV here - it's much easier to write in|

My head wasn't capable of handling that much information at once, it simply wasn't - at an instant, I saw myself being dragged out of the alleyway by a guy, seemly wearing what appeared to be a set of golden headphones? And if what I could make out out of my blurry vision was correct, he also seemed to be wearing a very gentlemen-like piece of clothing... I overthought a lot of the whole "asking what the hell is going on" process, leaving me with only one question to be asked: "What in all that lay it's existence in this side of reality's fabric have I dragged myself into?". Let us analyze the situation: As of right now, I'm being chased by supernaturally looking, maybe mythological creatures out of an alleyway, and running by my side are two individuals which I've never seen before in my life: one somewhat fancy looking gentlemen, and a girl, with red-brownish looking hair, both seemed as confused as me, which I honestly can't tell if it's good or not. May I be hallucinating.​

The footsteps of the concrete construct now chasing us brought me back into reality without much difficulty - I looked at my side, where the individuals were located, shook my arm of his hand and started running by his side myself, constantly trying to keep up.
-"I'm guessing you don't know what is happening either, do you?" -He said, a bit louder than usual, making sure that the two people next to him were able to hear what he was saying.

"I just got here, pal! What is certain is that we're being chased and we're basicly deep in crap." I said taking off my headsets and throwing them at the creature. "I didn't think that would hurt it but it's easier to run. By the way, what's your name?" I said yelling for making myself heard over the loud stomps of concrete.

I stopped for a second, processing my answer as much as I could before actually saying it.

-"Watson, you can call me Watson". -I said loud and clearly, making sure he could hear me. After making another pause, I added. -"Do we have any plan sort of whatsoever?"

"Nice to meet you Watson, I'm Tyler, call me Ty. We obviously can't run forever so we should try hiding somewhere. The only problem we have is that we can't hide somewhere small. He'd smash right through. Hey, I'll tell you what. I have an underground lab. What about that?" I asked as loud as I can, hearing the steps getting closer. "Crap! Ok let's take her and go! Go! Go!!"

Hearing Tyler's answer, I looked back at the construct, dashing into our direction with rage. I turned my head in the man's direction, asking in a somewhat not very convinced manner:

-"With walls strong enough to hold that guy?" -I pointed backwards at the concrete creature running after us. Right after actually stopping to think about the man's answer, I shook my head- "Wait, did you just say... Underground lab?"

Only if this day could get any weirder.

The concrete man rips off a piece of the asphalt, and throws at you all. The crowd goes running away, hearing screams. Death seems inevitable.

However, as the object touches Christopher, it slowly starts disappearing before vanishing completely right before your face, as if it were to be stuffed inside a personal pocket universe. Some members of the crowd stop, amazed at what they just saw.

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!" I yelled. "Now i know why they're chasing you but why me? I don't think anything happened to me recently. Oh, and yes. Underground." I said still shocked of what i've just seen.

I stood in shock, literally paralyzed for what it seemed to be an eon. I'm not entirely sure if I know what just happened, but I can't say it haven't happened before: so, that knife, that was real? There's only so much weirdness a human is able to handle before a mental breakdown: I feel like I'm slowly crawling into insanity. I shook my head out of the shock and started running, like I never did before, expecting the two to catch up.

-"Please tell me you can explain what just happened?" - As he runs, he starts breathing heavily, making his phrase a little shuttered, mixed up with the breathing.

"I dunno but i have an idea. Don't ask me how i got it, it's just physics. Here we go!" I said, suddenly stopping to switch the direction in which i was walking. "(Please work, please work, pleaseworkpleasework i don't want to die...)" i thought to myself franticly running towards the monster. When i got close to it i closed my eyes and attempted to slide under its feet. I expected it to keep going due to its mass and inertia.

I see the people around me as I regain my senses...they are shouting...What is that thing over there...Like seriously what is it. The people around me start running, but I stay behind. I am determined to fight this thing, whatever it is. I drop into my sword stance out of habit then go back into a hand fighting stance; after all I have this newfound power, let's test it out. I rush to the creature and kick it in the side. As I kick it the creature explodes, but it isn't over yet. I watch the creature start to loom over me. "Get over here guys I need some help!" I yell at the guys running away...I hope they heard me or this could get bad fast.

Glade's kick leaves an explosion mark and a small crumble, but just not enough for the creature to shatter.

As Tyler tries to slide under the concrete juggernaut, a light, purple glow emanates from his head, and the thing starts to crumble above him before it ultimately reorganizes itself. The timing is just enough for Tyler to sneak by.

However, on the other side, Christopher violently coughs a knife at terminal velocity, and it goes flying away before the massive asphalt piece starts going out of his hand with the same speed, and the debris goes flying back towards the concrete giant before crashing into it and shattering its left arm into tatters.

"My names Glade how about you? Also, I think we shouldn't be talking right now" I point at the monster...Inside I am trembling, but outside I am as fiery as ever, I rush to the creature and try to punch it.
