I'm an otaku, people! YEAH!!!

I think I've pretty much lost it. I had this dream last night which pretty much consisted of characters from every anime and game (and some from books, movies and cartoons) I know. I told Winger and Youngblood about it this morning, but I couldn't remember much of the details, only who we were and who I fought. Well, cutting those blasted sales dockets gave me time to remember and you'll be amazed how much I did (and I finished 5 rolls today! New record!).

First of all, there was no story. It was just more or less total war between two forces. Everything was just battle after battle. The names of each force weren't stated, so I'll just name my side 'Friend', and the enemy 'Foe'.

Second, it was almost completely first person, so I did not see everyone. I only knew some people were there through dialogue. And some people I just knew were there.

Third, don't ask me why the characters that appeared like this. It's a dream. I had no control.

Okay, there has been a huge increase compared to what i told Winger and Youngblood. Either I fell asleep and remade those scenes while I was cutting those dockets or I seriously forgot that much after waking up.

Next up, scenes I remember:

Winger: *Speaking through commlink* What the **** is this intel!? It's completely inaccurate! Who the hell was recon?!
Lelouch: I believe that would be Krystle.
Winger: ..............................We're dead.
Kafuka: No, we aren't. I'm sure it was because they changed their plans just seconds after recon left.
Winger: ................. We're still dead.
Kafuka: Don't worry. We have Lelouch and Zhuge Liang here!
Lelouch: And they have Light and L. We shouldn't underestimate them.
Winger: Which is why I'm saying we're dead.
Kafuka: Girls!
*Cheerleaders start cheering chains of positive nonsense about Winger and his team*
Winger: .........

Later, on the frontlines,

Winger: Fire!

Snipers fired. Many people were shot down but Elephant Seal (ES for short) remained standing. In fact, his body was deflecting bullets! ES charged forward without stopping and crushed vanguard unit with his giant hammer.

Winger: Damn, this fatass is hard to kill!

Winger jumped off the ledge and raced off towards ES. ES swung his hammer at Winger. Winger bent down to dodge. Winger fired his gun at close-range but only managed to push ES back a few steps without leaving even a scratch.

Winger: Die! Die! Die, you fatass!

ES regained his balanced and ran towards Winger. The ground shook as ES stepped hard on the dirt. ES let out a battle cry. Winger ran forward, stuck his gun into ES's mouth and pulled the trigger.

Winger: I said, shut up and die!

ES's head increased in size as bullets continued to fill the empty space inside him. Finally, his head could not expand anymore and exploded.

(You should be very very happy, Winger. If only you could have seen it yourself.)

Meanwhile, my unit was marching forth in an area surrounded by tall ledges. A unit from recon approached us.

Recon: Sir, the enemy ahead has balls.
Me: Yes, I'm sure they're very brave, but don't go demoralising us before we've even fought.
Recon: No, I mean...

A shower of basketballs and footballs rained down on us. What's more, they exploded upon contact with any surface.

Sakuragi: Hahaha! Look at me! The genius Sakuragi sending you losers back home!
Rokawa: Idiot.
Sakuragi: What!? *Throws basketball at Rokawa* *Rokawa throws back*

Later, me and Sephiroth were engaged in combat. Being faster, stronger and more skilled than me, he was almost always on the offensive.

He slashed at my chest. I quickly jumped and landed behind him. Switching my twin blades for a single, larger one, I slashed at his back. He turned and parried the move, breaking my sword in the process. I recreated the twin blades I used earlier and launched myself forward to stab him. His palm suddenly appeared in front of me and crimson flames immediately engulfed me.

I rolled back and quickly took a defensive stance. But Sephiroth was faster and he delivered a blow on my abdomen with his knee and, while my defense was down, grabbed me by the collar. He raised his sword and delivered the tip towards my heart.

A gunshot sounded and struck Sephiroth on the wrist. He threw me aside and aimed for the shooter. He spied Winger some distance away and rushed for him. Surprised, Winger hastily prepared for close combat. But he wasn't fast enough as Sephiroth's figure suddenly appeared before him and slashed at him.

The blade was stopped as I appeared and blocked with one sword. I then swung the other at Sephiroth and managed to rip open a wound at his waist. Winger quickly jumped above my head and emptied his gun barrels onto Sephiroth's body. Cursing, Sephiroth unleashed a wall of flame and retreated.

Sephiroth: Overlimit! Now!

Miharu appeared before us. Ancient text started appearing on his face and we were engulfed in a huge, bright explosion. I lost consciousness.

---
I moaned and grunted as I regained consciousness. I was instantly greeted with the tip of a scythe blade stabbing the ground before me.

Haseo: Heh? You're not dead. But I'll change that soon enough.
Me: Trace on! *Summons dual swords*

I swung my sword at Haseo and he hopped back, switching his scythe for dual swords. We immediately crossed swords. The clanking of metal blades clashing continued for several hundred times.

Aside from the wounds obtained from the fight with Sephiroth and from the explosion, I was also still pretty groggy after waking up. So, it wasn't much of a surprise that I was losing the advantage bit by bit.

I then slashed desperately at Haseo. He leaped backwards and sheathed his dual swords. The handle of a large sword appeared behind him and he grasped it. Pulling it out forcefully, he dealt forward a shockwave so powerful my dual swords shattered. I quickly materialised a single sword but had little time working out the details. Another slash from Haseo shattered that sword, breaking my right arm in the process, and also inflicted multiple wounds all over me. I flew back from the impact and landed on my back. I tried to get up again but that proved futile.

At that instant, a familiar figure appeared and grabbed me. Haseo quickly slashed at the figure but the weight had slowed down Haseo's movements. The figure managed to avoid direct contact with Haseo's broadsword and also dodged the shockwave produced.

Shana: Cloud, get him out of here. We'll take on Haseo.

The figure nodded and quickly ran off.

Haseo: Oh no you don't!
Saber: Excalibur!! *Pillar of light blasts Haseo into a wall*
Cloud: I'm counting on you two.

I was swiftly led away from the battlefield. I really wanted to see how that fight ended though.

The view then switched to two giant robots fighting. One of them was sustaining heavy damages while the other was still operating at maximum efficiency. The view swtiched to the pilots and I saw Youngblood in the damaged one and Lu Bu in the fine one.

Youngblood: Why he so strong one?

Youngblood fires at Lu Bu but misses. Lu Bu then deals another slash onto Youngblood with his halberd. Warning signals flash in Youngblood's Knightmare Frame.

Youngblood: Lelouch! I cannot fight ade. He hit me again, I die d.
Lelouch: Follow my instructions and I'll guide you to victory.
Youngblood: Okay.
Lelouch: 400 meters to your right. Swing your blade at him and then retreat 20 meters. Fire your gun at him and then retreat slowly. Keep your defense up as you move backwards and you'll live. He's hot-tempered, so throw him a few taunts, but don't overdo it.

Youngblood followed Lelouch's instructions. Lu Bu did not let up at all. Although Youngblood focused entirely on defense, he was still taking damage. Suddenly, the commlink was cut.

Youngblood: Lelouch! Oh shit!

Lu Bu leaped and drove the halberd into Youngblood's Knightmare Frame. The robot fell to the ground as the system shut down from excessive damage.

Lu Bu laughed at his fallen opponent and continued to stomp on the robot, hoping to crush Youngblood inside. He was so intently focused on it that he did not notice a red Knightmare Frame appearing behind him. The Knightmare Frame drove a claw into Lu Bu's robot and discharged an energy wave into it. Shocked, Lu Bu jumped backwards to defend himself from further damage. However, the intended goal had been fulfilled. His robot swelled and soon blew up, destroying both machine and pilot.

Karen rushed forward and shielded Youngblood from the radiation.

Lelouch: Nice job, Karen and Youngblood.
Youngblood: Why so late?!
Lelouch: I expected you to last longer.

At the same time, Cubix was dueling with Van. Both were on par with each other as they threw everything they had at each other.

Sadly, this fight had no ending. They just kept fighting and the entire scene I saw only showed both fighters exchanging blows with fists and swords. Of course, they were both fighting in their robots. I wonder who would have won.

---
My alarm rang half way through the fight, so don't blame me for not finishing your story, Cubix. And I guess that also meant that I didn't get to know if Retarded Bunny or Carol were in there. I mean, Krys was.

Wow, this post was long. Took me 4 hours to type. Phew... But it sure was nice to dream of something like this. I bet Dissidia influenced a large part of this dream. But I still wnat Dissidia! DISSIDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
