School War Dream

Yo this is the like the shortest gap between 2 posts ever. Well unless I get lazy and not finish writing this one till a couple weeks later like I did with the last post. But I mean its not like that'll happen again right? eh probably not. Also if you read my last dream then you would of seen that I had another "good" dream before I was even done writing the previous one. Well this is that dream. So I kinda had this like a week ago but I'm sure its fine. So as repeated in most of my posts, lets cover some basic background info on this super amazing wacky ultra fun dream.

So in this dream there are 2 dominant high schools in my town. There's the one I go to, which is my high school in real life but its located where my old primary School is and then there's the super generic rich evil one. Everyone at the high school are just like super dicks like their probably kicking puppy's and what not. Their the kind of people that go to parties, eat all the food there, then leave. So these 2 schools are having like a whole "this town ain't big enough for the both of us" thing going on, one thing led to another and now both schools are going to fight each other in a game. And not like a friendly game of dodge ball, this is a straight up battle to the death, well sorta. To eliminate someone from the game, they had to just be unable to battle. Once every player from a school was eliminated, the other school won. Whatever school wins this game will become the only school in town. Most people from my school decided to avoid killing as much as possible but we already knew that the other school would not care if someone died or not. The battle was restricted to my school which meant that we had the home field advantage. Anyone caught leaving the school grounds would be disqualified immediately. Now there are 2 important elements of this world. The first being that some people could bend elements like in Avatar. This meant that some people could control either Fire, Water, Earth or Air. The only problem was that bending in this world was very difficult. This caused powers to be very limited. This meant that bending was more of a support thing rather then a primary weapon. The other important element of this world was that some people had a "special" form. This "special form" could only be used for short bursts before the user got tired and had to return to their human form. These forms varied from person to person but they were all very powerful. OK I think that's all you need to know for now so lets just get to the dream shall we.

The dream starts 7 days before the match between the 2 schools is scheduled to begin. As you can imagine we're spending all of our free time training for battle. This is all being done at the grass Oval located across the street from our school. There are teachers all around the Oval giving lessons about different things in battle though if one wants, they can simply practice on their own. I choose to practice on my own due to the fact that I can bend earth and have a "special form". I wanted to work on improving these things as they could prove to be very effective if used right. I'm practicing a technique I created. The technique if done correctly, creates a hole under the enemy in the shape of a circle. The problem is that this is proving to be very difficult to do. Earth bending was difficult in general. Lifting up rocks required a huge amount of concentration and will power. This meant that launching rocks at opponents was extremely difficult to do so I avoided trying to do so. Creating holes was a little easier. It felt like I was literally pushing the ground down with my bare hands. To create a hole under my opponent faster then they react was going to be very difficult though. I spent a couple of hours practicing this technique while remembering to push the ground back up when I was done. After I was done training for the day I started walking around checking out everyone else training. While doing this I happen to spot my mother who is being thanked by some kids that she was just training. They run off as by the time I reach her. I say the generic hi, hows it going and all that stuff. I then notice my little sister Jade practicing some type of karate not far from us. I'm worried about her safety during the battle as there's a chance that she may die. I wait till after she's done to approach her. We talk for a while before I tell her that she needs to stay behind her teammates and avoid combat as much as possible. As expected, she gives a passive aggressive response but still agrees to do as I say.

A Lama with a scarf

Time skips forward and there is only 2 days left until the match. I'm inside a medium sized circular building located at the far end of the Oval (this building doesn't exist in real life btw). It has 2 floors and I'm at the top floor. The top floor is full of computers and machines while the bottom floor is like a small coliseum which kids can fight in. The second story has a glass floor so people can observe the fights from above. I'm arguing with my friend Cooper. He's mad because I'm getting special treatment from everyone and he's not. I keep telling him its because I have the "special mode" and can bend earth. He responds by saying that he's done heaps for the war (cooper is helping organize the troops and prepare a strategy) but I still getting treated better then him. This fight goes on for a while before I accidentally yell that I'm more important then he is. The room goes silent. Eventually Cooper breaks the silence by telling me that if I'm so important then I can do all of his work for him. He then hands be a bunch of files and a clipboard before walking off. I know he'll be back so I just leave his stuff on the table and head down to the coliseum for some practice. The way the coliseum works is that the fights in it are 1 v 1's with the rule that if the winner of a fight wants to keep fight the next opponent, they can but they can also leave after any fight. If someone loses a fight then they must leave and wait their turn to try again. I start fighting my opponents and defeat most of them pretty easily. I'm simply trying to beat my best score before leaving. After some fights I'm only 1 off a new high score. I see my opponent walk into the arena. Its Cooper. He says that if he wins, everyone will see he's just as important as me. The fight begins and Cooper immediately charges at me. I swoop to the left and lift a rock up under him causing him to trip. I then drop a rock on him which injures him enough for the fight to end. My goal was to beat my high score then stop and that's exactly what I did. As I'm walking out of the arena, I can hear Cooper screaming at me that he wants a rematch. Ignoring these screams, I exit the arena. Turns out that my score was the second highest in the school. I go back to training and realize I'm never gonna get this technique done in time. This causes me to invent a new technique. I spend the rest of my time training perfecting this technique while making sure nobody knows what it is, in case an enemy spy is listening. 

Time skips forward to the day of the match. Every is getting ready at the Oval. A huge siren goes off signaling that we are now walking to school to begin the battle. When the siren goes I instantly start searching for my mum. I find her and so does jade shortly after. She quickly tells us to both be safe and puts wax in our hair so it doesn't get in the way during battle. We thank her then run off to our age groups walking to the school. Some kids around me look grim as if their deaths are guaranteed. I realize that I might die today and get a little scared myself. I cant seem to find my friends anywhere but I do manage to see a kid called Dylan that I used to be friends with in primary school. I walk over to him and we start talking about random things to keep the mood light. Eventually we reach the starting point for out team at our school. I've lost Dylan but found my friends all sitting together. I join them. Everyone is sitting on the ground as the principle who has some teachers standing next to him, is giving a speech. He reminds us about what we're fighting for. He then tells us that while killing is ill advised, it is legal during this match. We are told of a new rule that has been added. If a player is hit by a dodge ball, then they are eliminated. Each student/teacher has been giving 5 special dodge balls that are very small but when squeezed, they expand to become regular sized. This rule allows us to avoid killing as much as possible though we already know that the enemy will ignore this rule. It is for this reason that we all have rifles in case of emergency. He then goes on to remind us of our formations for the battle. The school will be split up into 5 battalions. Each battalion will consist of 10 squads each. Each squad will consist of 6 people. I was placed in a special squad that consisted of only members with the "special form". We were to be a secret weapon that would allow our battalion to push through to the enemy base very quickly. During the speech, one of my friends is messing around and nudging me in the back with his foot. After a couple of nudges I fall forward. The principle sees this and pauses his speech to ask if I'm ready for battle. Everyone looks at me. I just kinda laugh it off and tell him that I am indeed ready. After his speech finishes another siren goes off indicating that the match has begun.

 Super Cool Edited Map of My High school

As soon as the siren goes off, a bus crashes through building I and parks so that its side is facing our starting zone. Immediately after, opponents from the other school start throwing dodge balls through the windows of the bus. While this does make a lot of people glad to know that some of the enemy will be using dodge balls, it doesn't change the fact that the bus is going to do some serious damage if not dealt with fast. Our principle yells for 2 battalions to stay back and take out the bus while the rest begin their advancements. I quickly found my squad and we grouped with our battalion shortly after. My squad contained my 2 friends Nick and Brandon, 2 random guys from my school and a girl.

Now the interesting part about this girl was that she was from a dream I had earlier that night. I don't remember her name so lets just call her Leah.I don't remember much from the dream besides the fact that me, Leah and another guy were all best friends. We lived at our school which had groups of 3 live together. Because of this we basically hung out 24/7 and used to just mess around a lot in our free time. Leah and the guy were dating and I remember being jealous because I had a crush on the her. I chose to just get over it and move on so we could all remain good friends. That's all I remember from the dream besides the fact that it was relatively long and a lot of stuff happened that I don't remember. 

Our battalions job was to move through buildings C, D and H in an attempt to control the North side of the school. From there we would push south down the right side of buildings H, I and J. In doing this we would hopefully meet up with the other 2 battalions that will be pushing through the south side of the school. Once the bus was taken care of, 1 of the 2 remaining battalions would take full control of building M and use it as a safe house in case our assaults fail. The final battalion was to remain flexible and wait until they were needed. Our battalion waited for the bus to be distracted before moving in between buildings C, D and H. We knew that around the corner of building H would be the enemy so we approached it carefully. Our squad and another were to lead the battalion at the front because of our skill when it came to battle. A girl from another squad stuck her head around the corner but was immediately fired at by the enemy. Luckily she wasn't hit but this meant that the enemy was well set up due to the large amount of gunfire. Suddenly while we were accessing the situation, 2 girls from the enemy team came around the corner aiming their rifles at us. Before they could fire, I quickly threw 2 dodge balls at them, eliminating them both from the match. Realizing that we cant afford to wait, I decide to use my secret technique. I go as close to the corner as possible and using my earth bending, lift a thin column from under the ground at the corner. I raise the column to about eye height. I then push out a sheet of cover from the left side of the column, effectively creating a rock cover. 

So that wasn't a very good explanation of the technique so I created a visual demonstration of what the technique is.

The Cover Technique

As you can see, I'm not good with visual explanations either. Hopefully you can sorta get the idea from the picture though. Basically I raise the column form out of the ground, then sorta pull a thin block of cover from it. I can adjust the size of the cover or column whenever I want and can also create cover from all 4 directions of the column at once. Now your probably thinking this isn't that special of a technique but keep in mind that bending elements is really difficult in this world. The fact that I can do this at extremely fast speeds is impressive enough. Well as impressive as ones powers from their own dream can be. Alright back to the dream

After I was done extending the cover enough so we could hide a person behind it, I created another column at the far end of the cover. Using this column, I created another cover that is taller then a person. Both of these covers effectively created half a box so we could have a person peak over to see what the enemy was doing without having to worry about a surprise attack from their left. Everybody started cheering as soon as I was done creating the covers. The same girl that peeked around the corner was now using to cover to take a look at the enemy. Suddenly she yells that there's a mortar heading her way. I raise the cover just in time and block the mortar that would of killed a couple of our teammates. Building H has a roof that extends beyond the wall a bit which gives us a small amount of cover from the mortars. We realize that their using the mortars to pin us down while they send in squads to take us out. This won't be very difficult considering we're sitting ducks hiding under the small amount of cover we have. Having mortars constantly exploding near us doesn't make coming up with a plan any easier either. We got the girl that peeked over the cover to draw us a map of the situation so we could determine what course of action we would take.

Recreation of map

Now that we had a map, we were beginning to create a plan. As we are doing this, an enemy comes around the corner. She seems to have a very cocky attitude and laughs when she see's our battalion. She then tells us that she can single handedly take us all out. Some people attempt to throw dodge balls at her but she dodges them with ease. She then uses earth bending to pick up rocks and throw them at me. Apparently my new technique has made me a target to get rid of. I use my earth bending to guide the rocks away from me and my teammates. Sadly I'm very bad when it comes to holding and throwing rocks so I cant send them back at the girl. Realizing that is a do or die situation, some people from our battalion start shooting at the girl with their rifles but she dodges them with ease. Her fighting style is unique as she uses the rocks under her to launch herself around at high speeds. This makes hitting her very difficult. I try mimicking her technique the best I can though I'm still doing much worse then her. The only advantage I have is that she must keep moving to dodge the bullets from my allies. That being said, I also have to dodge the mortars though they are much less frequent then the rifles. Predicting her dodging patterns, I manage to push a rock up below her as she attempts to move to the right. Doing this cause her to fall which allows me to push another rock upwards striking her in the head. This knocks her out. Just to be sure, I still hit her with a dodge ball so even if she is faking being unconscious, she's out of the match. Someone from our battalion notices a book that had fallen off the girl. Upon picking it up, I realized it gave instructions on how to upgrade mortars. The girl must of accidentally took it with her. Knowing that it was valuable information, I gave it to Nick and told him to protect it no matter what. We realize that we cant afford to hide for much longer as every mortar fired would risk one of our allies to be injured/killed. My squad decided that we would run towards the oval and see if we can make a difference from there. We would do this by using my technique to create a barrier spanning from building H, all the way to building L. This would buy us a little time which hopefully would be enough for use to reach a safe distance. Nick stays behind to protect the book so its just me, Brandon, the 2 random guys and the Leah.

We timed the mortars shots, waiting for them to have to reload. Once it was time, we ran out of our cover and towards the Oval. My team laid down a suppressive fire (while trying to not hit anyone) to make my job easier. I raised the column in the middle of the area. Not wanting to mess it up, I went as close to the column as possible before creating the barriers on both sides. Once I was done, I went to run with the others towards the oval but a mortar had finished reloading and fired. The blast went between me and my squad, knocking me into my own barrier and separating me from them. The mortar had left a ringing in my ears and left me barely conscious. I quickly regained my senses and noticed that the barrier I was leaning on was falling apart. My squad was already at a safe distance and were yelling for me to hurry up. Just as I managed to pull myself up, huge flames started gaping through the barrier. I leaped forwards out of pure instinct. Looking behind me, I see part of the barrier breaking away to reveal 2 kids behind it. They were twin brothers. Once had a flamethrower and the other had no weapon. They both had a hillbilly type of accent and were mocking me. Luckily the barrier would be able to hold for a bit longer but I still needed to move fast. I went to quickly check on my battalion again, but they were all gone except Nick. Nick was fighting over the book with the cocky, earth bending girl from earlier. They were just pulling it back and forth like you would expect 5 year old's to do. I walk over to them and snatch the book off of both of them. The girl starts to chase me. I decide to throw some insults at her while running away. Not long after, her brother appears. He noticed my insults and tells me not to get cocky as it could be my downfall. I acknowledge this and admit that the girl probably would of beaten me in our earlier fight had it not been for my teammates. He responds by telling me that while I shouldn't be cocky, I shouldn't underestimate myself. Especially since I created such an interesting technique. He then grabs the girl by the wrist and starts pulling her away. The girls gives little resistance, showing that she respects her brother. Now that that's done, I go to ask Nick where everyone went. He tells me that the 2 battalions fighting the bus had defeated it and 1 of them went to help ours. They apparently created a hole in the wall of building H and let us battalion sneak through it. Nick was left outside to guard. The hole had since been resealed. Satisfied that allies are safe, I tell Nick to follow me to the rest of our squad. Just as we're about to reach them, the entire barrier crumbles to dust, allowing our enemy's to go through. I order Nick to hide behind building D while I dealt with the 2 Brothers. I decided to stand my ground at the edge of the Oval so that any rifles would struggle to reach me. The brothers start moving towards us very slowly while constantly on the lookout for a surprise attack. I then notice a loose piece of building H's stone wall. I'm too far to be able to control the rubble but I may be able to guide it in a way that it lands on the brother closest to it. I manage to push the rubble but just before its about to hit the brother with the flamethrower, the other one stops it with earth bending. He yells at his brother for being so careless then focuses his attention at me. I can only watch as he molds the piece of rubble into a flying saucer shape that's about the size of a torso. He then proceeds to throw this at me. As its coming towards me, the brother starts changing its speed from fast to slow and vice versa. This makes dodging it very difficult. I just manage to push it a bit to the side with my earth bending which allows me to dodge it. The molded rubble falls close enough to me that I can pick it up and attempt to throw it back at the enemy. This was a terrible idea though as I can't throw it very fast and the brother catches it with ease. He then proceeds to throw it back at me while he and his brother advance towards me. I decide to try to catch it but fail. The rubble smashes straight into me, sending my flying to the ground. Realizing that I'm going to be in a lot of trouble if this keeps up, I decide to take advantage of the arrogance that most of our opponents have. I do this by inviting the earth bending brother to a 1 on 1 fist fight. He laughs then agrees to the fight. I tell my teammates not to interfere and he tells his brother not to as well. We decide to fight at the left side of the oval. There is a small bridge there that goes over a pond. The bridge isn't there in real oval mostly because it would be inconvenient to people playing sport but this is a dream so fuck logic. He tells me to throw the first punches. I try put every time I go to punch him, he just catches it, crushes my knuckle then pushes me back. Eventually he starts throwing punches and starts decimating me. I try to fight back but he just dodges me then follows up with some severe hits of his own. This goes on for about a minute before I jump back to gain some distance. Realizing that there's no way I'm going to win like this, I activate my "special form". This turns me into a werewolf. And not like that twilight bullshit where its just a big wolf. I'm the kind that stands on 2 feet

I was this kinda wolf

I give a laugh and ask if he's ready to continue. He retorts with his own laugh, claiming I'm not the only one that can do that. He then proceeds to transform into a wolf as well. We charge as each other and continue our fight. Unlike earlier, the fight is now even with neither of us showing any signs of giving up. Its also a lot more brutal thanks to our increased strength and claws. We battle for about 5 minutes with leads to us fighting at the entrance to the bridge. We both manage to land a large blow on each other at the same time causing us to both to fall and slide backwards.

My sliding comes to a sudden stop about halfway across the bride. Wondering what I crashed on, I look up and see the Leah standing behind me. Next to her are the rest of my squad. They all look really pissed off due to me being injured in the fight. I turn back to see the brother I was fighting has now got his squad behind him as well. The flamethrower guy is there but the rest I had never seen before. Both squads activate their "special forms" at the same time. The only one I remember was Leah's. She had become a vampire which meant very little had changed besides her eyes going red. The thing that makes Leah special is that she has a power unlike any other. The problem with this power is that it has a cooldown of sorts, meaning that she can only use it like once a month or something. The fact that we had an entire squad of enemy's that had a "special form" right in front of us meant that this was an appropriate time to use it. When this power was used, it sent each of us into a different dark bedroom with 1 of the opponents sleeping in bed. We were all then given the power to decide when they would wake up and return to reality. The catch was that none of us could communicate with each other while in the room, meaning that if one really wanted too, they could make the person sleep for eternity. We all had to trust each other not to do this. I decided to make the person sleep for a month in case this match somehow lasted an extremely long time. After this was done, me and my squad warped back intro reality in our normal forms. We decided to meet up with whats left of our battalion and continue our push forward. That is when I woke up.

So... that was a pretty long dream. might even be my longest post. But if I'm gonna be real honest with you, because this is a place of trust. I may of taken like 4 days to write this. I got like really lazy and just wrote for like an "hour" a day which lead to this taking a while. Also this is probably one of my all time favorite dreams. It just ticked a lot of boxes ya dig. Now if you actually manage to make it this far then congratulations. Like seriously I make these so that I can reread them later on when I forget the dreams but this one is fucking long. I'll probably ignore it for a while. Mostly due to the fact that my poor writing/grammar/formatting makes most of it unbearable. Also I usually only document the dreams that are long in length but I may add in a couple of shorted dreams here and there. There are probably also dreams that I'll make fake names for people that are in it, like if something weird happens with them. Like ya know... sex? maybe? .... don't judge me, I cant control my brain. Besides I can't recall having any weird dreams about people I know. Anyway thanks for reading I guess and I'll see ya next time.
