Jack found that she still had no items on her.

Nightmare rolled his eyes and with a wave of his hand shattered the illusion of Chucky having a human body making him revert back to his puppet form. "Suitably scared now?"

"You say that, you all say that. And somehow I am not convinced." Nightmare slouched off his throne and stepped down the stairs while shooting Dream a glare before addressing the group. "You guys have given me more than enough energy to last me awhile. And because of that I am not done with you yet."

"You are," Dream interjected. "You interrupted the slumber of these mortals. Stole their dream selves across the universe to use them as fuel. I am here to say it is over."

Nightmare could only laugh at the being before him. "You're telling me it's over? You're just another Dream lord! We can have a little fight if you want but..."

"That wont be necessary." Dream walked up to Nightmare and leaned in to whisper something into his ear. The group couldn't hear what Dream was saying but the what you could describe as utter fear that was creeping up on Nightmare's face told enough. Dream stepped back and looked at the dumbstruck Nightmare.

"I think we're done here." Was Nightmare's only response. "I got what I wanted just grab these mortals and get them away from here before I change my mind." Nightmare was acting tough but it was clear that whatever Dream had said shook him to his very core.

"Well that solves that."

Numahime shrugged. Having her "dream" self spirited here seemed somewhat off-putting, but given that their new "ally" apparently solved the problem for them there wasn't much reason to put more thought into it. She did find it amusing Nightmare treated her as a mortal, but given her last memory was of her dying perhaps it wasn't such a poor descriptor after all.

"With that we're off, then, hm?"

" I am not going to take this opportunity to not leave. Where do we go from here?" He asked Dream. He was sure he could figure it out without a definitive answer, but one would be nice.

"He brings up a good point," Sherry replied turning to Dream. "Is this what? The end? We're just going to be sent home? What about Nightmare?"

"Nightmare is a constant of the universe." Dream of the Endless responded. "His machinations have been thwarted and he knows what will happen if he will repeat this mistake. His punishment is to reflect on his status in the pecking order of the multiverse." He then turned to the group of large. "He has lifted his grasp on you all. A quick pinch should hoist your dream self from Nightmare's domain and back to where you belong."

Nightmare clearly wanted to say something but it was clear that he had overstepped in his plans and was not going to push it further. Instead he slumped back unto his throne like a child being sent to his room after having done something bad.

The Vampire paused, and considered his options. If they were dreaming, they'd likely return to separate locations. He wouldn't be able to honor his oaths. Now, Vlad was no newcomer to betrayal; it was a tactic he'd employed many times in the past, working amicably with his Imperial neighbors for centuries before striking. Even so, that didn't mean he liked to throw valuable allies away. He turned to Dream. "I made an oath to these two to render them aid. I would like to make good on that. Is there any way they could return with me? Somehow?"

"Your unconscious selves finding yourself in a dream realm of your own is bad on itself," Dream started. "To pull your conscious body or others is even worse. Count your blessings I was the one to put an end to this. Others might not have been so friendly. What promises that have been made here are null and void. Do not push me on this."

@BarrenThin @thatguyinthestore @Crow

"Thank you for your offer, Vlad, but ultimately, it cannot be done, it seems," Jack sighs. "Perhaps we shall meet again. When that happens, will be remain one, or will be already have fulfilled our wish? Only time can tell."

Jack looks upwards.

"Something tells us that mother is still alive on the other side, waiting for us to awaken from our deep slumber, preparing leftover hearts from last week's spree for us. Speaking of which, that brings up a question."

Jack turns to Dream and ponders.

"If this is but a dream, how is it that our many souls have remain bound together? Generally, when we dream, the dreams of our seperate souls tell seperate stories. Is that Nightmare's power?"

Delsin walked toward Theo and the others rather confused, trying to figure things out. So his dream self was pulled here? Man he had a headache.

Delsin looked at his hands and sighed, wondering if his powers ever would come back. The slightly embarrassed Delsin came into play again as he looked over at Theo.

"Come to Seattle someday.. I'll show you my powers and maybe a little more.

Theo smirked. " Only if I get to show you my powers in return and a little more in return. Maybe the area I live too... though it isn't much quite honestly. Maybe when I come to visit, I'll bring the pup with me," he said, referring to the boy he used to crush on. A jealous pup would be fun to watch. " Is there something else you want before we go?" He asked.

"Jesus, can you two just get it over with and fuck already? It's getting so goddamn annoying..." Chucky asked allowed, still pretty peeved that he was, in fact, still a doll.

...Was it really so be so simple as that?

They were freed? He could return to his temple--To his worship--To his lord? Oh, this was divine! Sammy clasped his hands, visibly enthused at this sort of news...

...And then the enthused prophet began to preach.

"Thank you!" He gushed to Dream first, smiling. "Thank you! In your divine grace and your kindness, you shall never be forgotten! I shall work to serve you, to praise you, and all divine figures like you--Honor you as you've honored me!" Not that he exactly knew what this 'Dream' person would want as a sacrifice, but he'd jump that hurdle when it was more relevant. "And may the lord bless all the companions I have thus far traveled with--The metatron, the believer, and all else--For I know in your actions, your souls shall be eternally blessed by he, the demon, the figure of ink in the darkness..."

And then there was a pause, and some enthusiasm drained from his tone.

"...Except the doll. May his soul be forever condemned among brimstone and acetone. Amen."

Dream of the Endless showed no emotions as the man prostrated himself in front of him. "Praise is not something I am seeking nor admiration. Return to your own world and don't grace this or another dream realm not your own ever again."

Sherry then would put what Dream said to the test. "Well if you said it was fine...bye everyone. Too bad we had to meed like this." She raised her hand and pinched herself and Sherry evaporated from existence. It seemed that Dream was telling the truth. A pinch was enough to wake them from their slumber.

So Theo, you asking what I want before we go..

He looked slightly embarrassed

"Are you asking if I want another kiss? "

Before Delsin waited for Theo, Chucky had to have his last laugh.

@LuckycoolHawk9

Delsin put his snarkiest face on and turned to Chucky "Only heros get the guys... isn't that right, Theo?"

@thatguyinthestore @LuckycoolHawk9

Delsin looked sad "Well this is the part where i have to say goodbye to everyone." "Name's Delsin Rowe, remember that."

He was looking forward to having his powers again.

He looked at Theo and looked up "Let's get going."

Before he would return home, Chucky would turn to Vlad and smirk.

"Oh, Vladdy Boy! Time to pay the fuckin' piper!" Chucky said with a smirk, waiting on Vlad to bestow his immortality unto him.

"You heard Dream, Chucky. Vlad can't give you or us new bodies," Jack said, "we don't know about you, but we'd like to look like this for a good while, spend a bit more time with mother in this form."

Jack took out a knife, pointing it towards her heart.

"Well, it's going to take a lot of pinches to wake us up, since there's so many of us. Vlad, thank you for offering the chance for us to be born, even if it ultimately could not be fulfilled. Chucky, we'll be sure to enjoy dismembering you thoroughly the next time we cross paths, so make sure you get your ideal body by then~."

She then turns to Unknown.

"We will consider your offer, head back to your own mother for now."

Jack was ready to head off. But first, she checked to see if others wished to speak.

Epilogue
Draw Me Closer
Take this body, hear my call
I will stay inside your walls
Be my savior, be my guide
And lead me now into the light

Just a pinch. It seemed to be working, too--The prophet watched as a few before him vanished into the beyond. It was so simple, so easy...

"Thank you! Thank you! In your kindness, oh, divine being of dreams, you shall always have my praise!" Then, more calmly, "It was an honor to be on this holy mission. May the savior bless all of you for assisting me on it."

Now, the problem. A man made of ink couldn't exactly pinch himself awake. It wouldn't do anything. So instead, he straightened up. He peeled off his mask, showing the blank face below it. He reached up one hand, and he began to scratch; going more furiously and digging deeper into his skull (or whatever of it was left)...Until he awoke.

...

He awoke once again in his lord's temple. The hallways of the music department. He was on his back, and slowly he sat up, staring at the familiar wooden walls. He smiled. What a dream. What a dream indeed. The prophet rose, then began to resume the work that he left behind. He rearranged cardboard cut-outs of his lord and savior, Bendy the dancing demon. He wrote new statements on the wall. He drew out pentagrams on the floor and conducted rituals within them. He wrote music. He sang old songs. He gave sermons to the Searchers, vaguely humanoid ink monsters.

Things were normal again.

...

At least, things were normal. For a while. For days. For weeks. For months, maybe.

But that's another story.

Theo smirked, but remained silent when he asked if was asking him if he wanted another kiss. He was playing coy, but he couldn't help but feel better about it all. " Yes, only heroes get the guys," he replied with a smirk, before going to lean in with a goodbye kiss.

Theo didn't think he would be sad to return home, but even when it was horrible, this place was happy for him. Theo felt weird that he was leaving it behind, but there was nothing that he could do about it.

Theo looked at him. " Yeah, let's get going. I will find a way to see you again, I always find a way to break the rules."

Epilogue - A new nightmare

It had been two years since the death of the man called Voldemort. The Prison of Azkaban continued to stand firm and dark on its spot. Even with out the Dementors traveling its halls it was the last place you wanted to be sent. Poor Dolores Umbridge had been incarcerated her ever since Voldemort's demise and the part she played.

There was no one who wept when she received her sentence...well other than the tears she herself shed. Despite what she thought however she deserved this for all the horrid things she had done. Perhaps she would at one point seek repentance, but now was not the time.

Umbridge laid in her bed, the years having her look more like a shriveled lizard then a smug toad. She was mumbling incoherently to herself, the only past time she had in this place. The guards had lost interest in listening to her since her first week here, only dropping the food and being on their merry way. This day seemed to be shaping up like any other day.

That was before a dark portal swirled into existence inside her cell. At first Umbridge didn't even realize it was there...until she started hearing whispers echoing inside her head. "H-Hello?" She let out a shriek and fell off her bed when she spotted the gateway, but the whispers continued inside her head. "H-Help me? Yes. Yes! I do not deserve to be here! I was only helping the community! You're right." She got up to her feet and made her way towards the portal. "To make everything right? Why yes...I would love a school...you know...I do so admire children." Umbridge now had a wicked grin on her face as she passed through the portal. When she was gone it vanished as well leaving no trace of the cells occupant. The papers later reported that Dolores Umbridge had vanished into thin air. Conspiracy theories flew about but the only thing that was certain was that she was gone. Where and why though no one could say for sure...

To be continued...?

Epilogue
Murderer of the Misty Night

Jack stabbed her heart with a knife, falling to the ground as the spirits of many children rose into the air, all dressed in rags or dressed as paupers. Each rose into the air in a spiral before disappearing into thin air...

Jack woke up from the horrendous nightmare, awoken by the sombre melody of the piano,

"Mother, is that you?"

Jack left the comfort of her bed, approaching the source of the noise.

"Oh, Jack~ you're awake! Why not you sit down here before we go out for breakfast."

Rikudou Reika, a prostitute who was almost used as a sacrifice to Jack's initial Master, before he was killed by Jack. From then on, Reika took the responsibility of being Jack's foster mother.

"Mother, we had a really horrible dream where we lost you, then one of those mean Servants killed us."

"But it's just a horrible dream, isn't it Jack?"

"Mmmhmmm! We know that because Jack and Mother will always be together! Forever and ever!"

"There's my girl! Oh dear, you must be hungry. Give me a bit. I've got leftovers from yesterday."

Reika went to the fridge, unveiling a raw heart, wrapped in plastic and lying on a plate. Jack was most excited by the sight.

"Wow! Thank you, Mother!"

"That's right, Jack, eat to your heart's content. We've got a long day ahead of us."

~The End~

... to be continued?

"Jack's going to be quite the handful, isn't she, Master? Hey, hey, hey, you haven't forgotten about little old me, right? Hello? Is this thing on? Well.. uh... what? We're out of time? Fine! Next time on the Convergence Series! Thing's are about to get really Berserk, and it's my time to shine!

I'll have you know that I've been to the moon before NASA! What? Other planets? That's impossible! ... I think."
