And now, as I promised, here's number 9. Enjoy.

47. Mystery Zone 6: (1999)
In the 80s, I've had a few dreams of He-Man, Thundercats, and several other 80s cartoons I remember. But I can't seem to remember that much of them. However, there is one dream I remember having back in 1999 when I was a teenager. And you'll be surprised that this was a dream I had about two characters from the original 1985 Thundercats show. And this one was rather random, dark, and disturbing. Now let me just say this right here and now. I've been a Thundercats fan my entire life. And this dream was completely out of the blue, because I really can't imagine something like this actually happening in the series. So I suggest that you skip this paragraph because you might be upset at what I have to reveal. However, if you choose to read this by your own free will, then I won't stop you. In this dream, Panthro somehow gets corrupted by Mum-Ra, the main villain of the show. And not only that, but he gets his arm replaced with a cybernetic arm which turns into a rotary saw, kind of like the Barbarian leader from the final segment of the original Heavy Metal movie. And in one part of the dream, Lion-O is forced to fight against the brainwashed Panthro with the rotary saw. And well, basically, it all comes down to a fierce and needless to say bloody battle between Lion-O and Panthro in a gladiator style arena. And holy hell it was a fierce battle. And since I was merely watching everything that was happening, I had no control over what was going on. In other words, I couldn’t do anything to stop them. Of course, Lion-O tried his best to convince Panthro that he was brainwashed, and he hesitated to fight back. In fact, Panthro nearly handed Lion-O's ass to him. Not to mention he almost killed him. But in was in the last minute when Lion-O realized how futile it was to talk sense into his friend. And with much pain in his heart, he took it upon himself to kill Panthro by slicing him down with the sword of omans. Before dying, Panthro's last words to Lion-O was “I'm finally free. Maybe you have what it takes to defeat Mum-Ra”. Again, this was one of the most disturbing dreams I recall. And I'm shocked that I still remember it after several years later. But I guess there was no better time than now to get it out of my system. Thankfully, this was only a dream, as such a thing never happened in the series. And I think that's the way it should be.

Now, this next segment was rather random. But this one was definitely one of the more interesting dreams I remember having. Now, I know I don't talk about this subject too much. But how many of you know of a franchise known as TMNT? How many of you know what TMNT stands for? Surely this needs no introduction. Because TMNT are the initials for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And believe it or not, I've been a fan of TMNT since the 80s. The franchise first started as a comic book series by Kevin Eastman back in 1985. And then two years later in 1987, the comic was adapted into a TV series, which is considered by fans to be one of the most memorable shows of its time. And there has been many movies, TV series, video games, and a whole merchandise that followed over the years. But I'm getting off track here. Let's talk about this dream that I've had. This was one of those dreams where I was only part of the story for a few seconds. But for the rest of it, I was merely watching what was happening. It all started when I was reading through the pages of one of the oldest comics that I used to have. And as I opened the pages, I saw the events in the comics playing out like an animated cartoon. And as I went further into it, all the characters in the comic suddenly popped out right in front of my eyes, and it all played out like a music video, with the song Stardust Eyes from the Ronin Warriors soundtrack playing all the way through. The first image I saw was the turtles in their pure forms shooting out of the manhole cover like from the original intro sequence. Followed by them assuming their humanoids forms along with their respective colored masks and weapons. One part of this dream I remember vividly was when Leonardo sprung out into the screen in a flashy background, followed by his arms, legs, and head springing out of his shell in a robotic sort of way, followed by him taking his katanas from his back. And as he lands on his feet, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello accompany him for a group shot. And then Leonardo uses his swords to slice at the screen, creating an X-shaped portal on the screen that literally opens up to the next scene. And in the next scene, we see the turtles fighting their respective villains, the foot soldiers (both humans and robot versions), Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang and his robotic body, and of course, Shredder himself. All done in wonderful video montage style. And believe me when I say it was epic. The last thing I remember from this dream was when all four of the turtles gathered together once again for a group pose, followed by the classic TMNT logo from the 80s series zooming in the bottom part of the screen. Remember, this was before the 2002 and the 2012 series came along. So you can expect that this was old-school. Now, I'm sure it would look cool with either of the logos. But the 80s logo did just fine. But anyway, yeah. This is one of the dreams which remained in the back of my head for quite a few years now. And I figured there was no better time than now to share this with my friends, and anybody whose a fan of TMNT besides myself.

Now this is another segment I remember well, because this was multiple chapters long, and they all revolved around the Terminator franchise. Now, for those of you who have seen the first two films directed by James Cameron, then you may remember that they both followed a similar premise; a bad guy is sent back through time to kill someone important who could ensure the survival of mankind, and a good guy is sent back in time to protect that person from the said baddie. In the first film, the Terminator was sent back to the year 1984 to kill Sarah Connor in order to prevent the birth of her son John. And Kyle was sent back in time to protect her. In the sequel, the robot was reprogramed to be a good guy, and he was sent back to 1995 to protect young John from the T-1000. So anyway, in this dream, it was very similar. But it was also fairly different. And like I said, this was a few chapters long. So I'm going to go over this as best as I can without over flooding this entry. The first chapter of this Terminator related saga is “Grandma Robot”. And it begins when I was walking home from school the other day. You know, just another typical day at school. And of course I get picked on by school bullies. Now it's worth mentioning that I've been bullied my whole life. Not that this would be surprising because I'm sure everybody suffers from this problem. In fact, it's nothing new really. Bullying is an issue that has existed throughout time. But anyway, as I was walking my way home from school, I made my way to the mall, where I got myself something to eat. And then I headed over to the arcade room to play the first Marvel vs. Capcom. But in the midst of my enjoyment, a couple of bullies pushed me out of the way of the arcade machine, and proceeded to harass me. Now, something like this did actually happen to me in real life where I was minding my own business, playing an arcade game, and then some jackass pushed me out of the way and started harassing me. But anyway, back to the dream. The bullies proceeded to make my life miserable by physically and verbally abusing me. But then all of a sudden, they were all shot dead by what appeared to be a police officer. Only this wasn't actually a police officer; it was T-1000. I stood in one place, frozen with fear. T-1000 looked at me with a menacing stare. And the next thing I knew, he shaped his arms into large swords, and approached me menacingly. I immediately turned and ran for my life. I sought refuge within a crowd of people. But T-1000 literally slices his way through the people who stood in his way in his attempt to to reach me. Thankfully, he was temporarily distracted so I could escape. I raced my way out of the arcade room, and made my way into the street, where I saw a motorcycle unattended. I hopped onto the motorcycle, and started it's engine. But by then, T-1000 shows himself, and continues chasing me as I rode away on the motorcycle. Thankfully, I was able to outrun him, and I went as far as I could go. But eventually, I ran out of gas while I was in the middle of the road. So I had to leave the vehicle behind, and keep progressing. Eventually, I stopped by at a bar in the middle of the road, where I saw some old lady sitting in one place, enjoying a cup of coffee. I didn't think she'd be any threat to me. So I just ignored her, and I just went about my business. But as I made my way to the counter, someone comes in back of me and threatens me with a knife, demanding that I give him all my money or else. But that's when the strange old lady got off her seat, and with no effort at all, grabs the man who was threatening me, and threw him out of the window. I stood in one place, shocked at what I saw. I mean seriously, an old woman who was supposedly 70 or 80 years old, literally tossed a much younger man out of the window. The woman takes me by my hand, and tells me “Come, young man. We can't stay here.” I had so many questions, and so few answers. However, the old lady answered a few of my questions. And one of the questions I asked her was “Who are you? And what are you?” She answered my question by telling me that she was a robot from the future sent back in time to protect me from T-1000. At least now I know why she was incredibly strong. Because if she was human, she wouldn't be able to throw that guy out of the window so easily like she did. The second question I asked was “So you're a terminator?” she answered me by saying “Yes. I am model number CS-117. But you can just call me Granny”. And so as the dream went on, “Granny” and I developed a strong bond, similar to how John and the Terminator had a strong bond in Terminator 2. In fact, this Terminator seemed a lot like my actual grandmother, who I lost back in 2004 when I was growing up. In fact, she was so sweet, endearing, and wise. She always gave me advice when I was down, and she would always tell me to keep my chin up. But at the same time, she was quite tough and formidable, protecting me from any sort of danger that was present. And she would die to protect me. Now this was quite unusual because usually, Terminators are disguised as young people, or as beefy muscle bound body builders. And I think it's kind of a crazy idea to have a Terminator that looks like a senior citizen. Eventually, after a long and crazy adventure together, T-1000 found us at an abandoned factory, and stalked us both. And it came to the point in which we had to part. Granny told me to save myself. But refused, and I told Granny that I didn't want to see her die. And admittedly, I cried because I had grown so attached to her. But she cleaned the tears off my face, and said “Young man, this is my fight. You need to worry about yourself. You have a future to look forward to.” I answered by saying “But what about you? I can't just leave you!” Granny embraced me one last time, and said “If I die, it won't matter. I'm just a machine. You are so much more. In time, everything must die. Now take care of yourself, let me deal with him.” And so I did exactly what I was told. Though with much pain in my heart. Granny clashed with T-1000. Similar to how it went in Terminator 2, T-1000 nearly killed Granny, until she gained the upper hand. She took out one of her power fuel cells from her chest compartment, and jammed it into T-1000's liquid metal body. As I escaped from the factory, T-1000 and Granny were both killed in the explosion. I stood in one place, mourning the loss of my friend. For she seemed like family to me. So as you can imagine, this dream seemed a lot like Terminator 2. And it's ending was just as depressing.

The second chapter in this Terminator compilation is “Cyber Chicks”. And this story took place sometime after the previous story. Only this time, the robots who appeared in this dream were identical twins, one good, and one evil. And you guessed it, one was sent back in time to protect me, and the other to kill me. The two robots were designed to resemble young high-school girls in their teens. And mind you, I was still a teenager when I had this dream. So anyway, it all starts when I was hanging out at a local nightclub, with the song “Sympathy for the Devil” by Rolling Stones playing in the background. And well, basically I just got myself some fruit punch (I don't like the taste of alcoholic beverages) and just sat in my seat while I enjoyed the music. But my peace and quiet didn't last for long when a strange yet sexy looking girl with blonde hair and blue eyes came into the place, and asked me if she could buy me a drink. I agreed to her offer. As we enjoyed our beverages, we picked up a conversation. When she asked me my name, I humbly answered her question. And when I did, she immediately took out a gun, and aimed it at my head. But just before she could pull the trigger, another girl who looked just like her came in back, and shot her in the back. Of course, since she was a robot, she wasn't killed, but momentarily disabled. And so a fierce fight ensures between the two she-bots. But in the midst of their battle, I ran for my life. Fortunately, my rescuer got to me before the other robot did, took me away on her motorcycle. Once again, I had so many questions, and so few answers. The first question I asked was “I take it that was your twin sister?” The girl answers by saying “You could say that. We come from the same assembly line. So we're practically the same model.” The second question I asked was “So there's two of you? And I take it you were sent back to protect me?” The girl answered by saying  “Yes. I was sent back in time to ensure your survival. While the other terminator unit was tasked to bump you off.” I sighed and said “Oh great. I'm going to have trouble telling you apart if we run into her again.” My protector replied “We will see her again. That is inevitable. But right now I have to get you to safety.” The last question I asked her was “Do you have a name?” to which she responded by saying “I have no name. But I do have a model number. I'm model T-386”. However, I decided to give her a name in which I could identify her by. I called her "Sylvia". Now, unlike how it was with me and Granny, I could not develop a bond with Sylvia in spite of my best efforts. She seemed so cold and distant. In fact, she was simply a machine with no feelings or emotions, and she could only follow her program which was to be my protector against her evil twin sister. She didn't have the same emotional bond with me that I had with Granny, my previous protector. But I do have to give her credit for her loyalty to me. Because in her case, that was all she needed, to be loyal and protective of me. And that alone was her greatest strength. Like Granny before her, Sylvia was very strong, versatile, calculating, and intelligent. She wouldn't let anything happen to me. Even though it was merely just her obeying her program. But for some reason, I felt attached to her despite her lack of emotions and a heart. Eventually, it came down to a showdown between Sylvia and her evil twin sister. And boy it was one fierce fight. The two girls literally mangled each other and went at each other's throats. And they absolutely wouldn't stop until one of them was dead at the other's feet. Sylvia pretty much sacrificed herself until her last breath. And eventually, they both ended up pretty much killing each other when Sylvia activated her self-destruct system. And in her last few moments, Sylvia looked back at me one last time before pushing herself along with the other robot into the bay, where they both sank to the bottom before exploding. As I stood on the edge of the bridge, I looked out into the sky, and I took a moment to reflect on the time I spent with Sylvia. Now I know it's kind of stupid to feel for a robot who had no feelings for me, and was simply doing her job. But when she looked at me before she scarified herself, I somehow got the impression that Sylvia had bonded with me in her last few moments before she blew herself up along with her sister. The dream ends with me riding down the road at night on a motorcycle, feeling unsure of what more surprises the future holds.

The third chapter in this series is “Robot Apocalypse”. And yes, you guessed it, this takes place many years after the first and second films in the series, and this takes place around the same time as the third film “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”. So anyway, in this story, the year was 2005, which of course was a few years after I had this dream. And well, it starts off with me just carrying on with life. Although the memories of my past experiences continued to haunt me. And I couldn't help but to wonder when the next struggle for my life would take place. I got my answer immediately when I found out that the military was working on Skynet, the main villain of the Terminator series. When I heard about this on the news, I knew that couldn't be a good thing. All I could do was just hope for the best that the project would be halted. But much to my displeasure, the project wasn't halted. And the day came when scientists had completed Skynet, and launched it on the internet. And as you can imagine, that's where the chaos began. Because as the earlier models of Terminators and combat robots were completed, Skynet took over the machines, and they started running rampant among the world of humans, bringing death and destruction in their wake. Fearing that I would survive, Skynet once again sent a Terminator after me. And John Connor sent another one to protect me. And you wouldn't guess who my protector was this time. It was Arnold. Yes, the Terminator who we all know and love was in this dream as my protector. How insane is that? Oh, and just in case you're curious, my would be executioner was a ninja-like robot who kind of resembled a young version of Sonny Chiba. And holy hell this guy was relentless. I'm not joking. This guy was literally a robo-ninja who came with built in weapons like shurikens and a plasma sword, similar to the one used by Strider Hiryu. And as you can imagine, this guy provided a challenge for the Arnold robot. And so in the midst of all this chaos, the Terminator clues me in on the whole story, and he explains to me that the reason why Skynet wants me dead is because in the future, I become one of John Connor's best soldiers. But of course, he also gives me some bad news. And the bad news is something terrible had to happen. As if that wasn't happening already with the robots running amok and turning the world into a battlefield of death and destruction. But anyway, Arnold tells me that it's important that I survive because I had an important role to play in the resistance against Skynet. I wasn't all too thrilled to be honest. Because I could only imagine that if I lived through this disaster, I would live to face a new nightmare. In the end, Arnold succeeded in carrying out his mission even though he pretty much got his ass kicked by the ninja terminator. Though he prevailed in the last second before telling me "You will see me again". As for me, I was left in the midst of the disaster as the bombs went off and destroyed half the Earth. When the bombs went off, I saw an image similar to the scene in Terminator 2 with Sarah's vision of the city and its people being engulfed in flames. Along with buildings blowing up and vehicles being pushed away by the blast. As for me, I wasn't caught in the explosion. But I was however, close to the blast, which resulted in me contracting radiation sickness. When the resistance found me, they figured there was no way to save my dying body, except to transfer my essence from my human body into an exact robot duplicate of my original. When I woke up (still in the dream), the year was 2029. And I found out that I was completely different even though I looked almost exactly the same. I was stronger, faster, more endurable, and my eye-sight was different as well. My eye sight was similar to Robocop's digital vision, which gave me all the advantages. And thus came the role that Arnold said I was destined for; to be one of the best soldiers in the resistance. And being that my new body was almost completely mechanical, I had all the advantages that the regular human soldiers didn't have. I could perform my job proficiently and with ease. In a way, this was kind of like playing the Terminator Salvation arcade, a very recent game developed by Play Mechanix. And in a way, it was kind of like a video game because I literally found myself engaging with all the different kinds of robots that are featured in not only the movies, but also in the comics and in the games. In Robocop vs. Terminator, you not only fight against humanoid robots. But you also fight against HK tanks, and robotic dogs. This was perhaps one of the most insane yet exciting segments in this whole dream. Because I never thought that it would come to this conclusion of me becoming a cyborg for the resistance. Because I seemed to do my job quite well. In fact, I seemed to work too well according to some of the soldiers who grew suspicious of my existence, fearing that I would soon turn on them should Skynet find a way to corrupt me and join the opposing side. And that was something I feared myself. That's pretty much all I can remember from this final segment of the dream I had. And I have to say this was probably the most epic ones I recall.

48. Megaman X and Zero Battle: (2000)
This is yet another dream I had based around the Megaman universe, a franchise that I've known since my early childhood. And as the title suggests, this was a one on one battle between Megaman X and his best friend Zero. And basically, this dream was triggered after playing Megaman X5 for the PS1. Now for those of you who remember, Megaman X4 was the first game in the series to be released for the PS1 back in 1997. And to be honest, that's a game which I have mixed feelings for. It's not a bad game, but I feel that there were a few things about it that were lacking and piss poor. Aside from the easy gameplay and the choppy animation for the cut scenes, one of the things I found REALLY annoying about the game was the horrible voice acting. I mean we all know that the characters all had MUCH better voices than this. But that was only after the release of Megaman X4. One of the voices that bothered me the most was X's voice. I mean what was Capcom thinking when they gave Megaman X a girly squeaky voice? That totally ruined him! And right from the start, I knew that that was NOT how X is supposed to sound like. And it gets worse, Capcom actually used all of the same actors from Megaman 8 when they made the English dub of the game. And on top of that, the game was pretty easy. But I'd better get onto the dream. So anyway, as I said before this dream was induced by what I saw after playing Megaman X5. And this was basically my own personal visualization on what the outcome of the battle could have been like. As we all know, X and Zero are good friends. But there have been a few times when they clashed in a fight to the death. Not necessarily out of spite for one another, but because of an act of fate. It's to my knowledge that while X was created by Dr. Light, Zero was created by Dr. Wily. So in a way, their fates have already been decided. And so it basically opens up with Zero, who apparently has acted on the darker side of himself, and has turned himself into a god of death and destruction. While X was donning a suit of armor which I apparently thought up and designed myself. With a few influences of course. So anyway, before the fight began, X and Zero had a small conversation with each other on why it was their destiny to fight each other in spite of all the times they've helped each other out of dangerous life threatening situations, and how X looked up to Zero as a big brother figure. Being the pacifist that X is, he tried to talk Zero out of fighting. But Zero was so consumed by his darker side, that there was no sense in talking him out of it. He ended the conversation by saying “We cannot stray away from the path of fate. It is our destiny to fight." X shouted "Zero! Don't do this!" but Zero concluded "Enough talk. Fight me.” And so the battle between the two robots began. And as you can imagine, it was a pretty big fight. In fact, this fight took up pretty much the entire story until the end, when X and Zero received heavy battle damage from trading attacks onto each other. And yes, this is one of those dreams where I was merely watching everything that was happening. And I couldn't do anything to stop them from their fight. But I guess even if I was apart of the story, I don't think my words would convince them that it's not worth fighting. And yes, they fought all the way to the bitter end. Or so it would seem since they were both so badly injured that it seemed like either one of them, or possibly even both of them would die at each other's feat. Even so, they still had enough energy to keep on going. And so the fight went on and on until they destroyed the entire scenery around them like the badasses they are. X charged up his X-buster, and Zero charged up his light saber. But just as they were about to land their finishing blows onto each other, the dream ended, and I woke up to reality.

49. Run Away: (2000)
This is one of the shortest and needless to say random dreams I can remember. And this was just at the beginning of the 21st century. So anyway, I had this dream shortly after I watched “Golgo 13: The Professional” for the first time. And this is one of those dreams that was so random, that it remained in the back of my head for quite a while. So anyway, it all begins with me being out at sea on a large ship (kind of like the titanic). I was a servant for the captain of the ship, and I was working with a partner who closely resembled Golgo 13 in appearance; he had the same hairdo, the same sideburns, and he even had the same eyebrows two. But I can assure you, he was not Golgo 13. So basically, we were just servants doing clean up work around the ship. Though, we were treated horribly by the Captain. Because even after all our hard work and effort, we got absolutely nothing in return. Nothing but contempt and scorn. Even for making one tiny mistake. And it was hellish for us both. In one part of the dream, while I was mopping the floor, my partner asks me if he could speak to me, to which I say “Okay.” And so he talks to me about our current situation. He told me that he didn't want to spend the rest of his life as doing clean up work, and that he had dreams of living life at its fullest. But the chances for that ever happening were absolute zero, since he had no possible way of ever reaching his dreams and living them in the way he envisioned. I asked him “So what's your point?” to which he answers “My point is don't spend your whole life taking orders. You have the ability to choose your own path because you're a human being, not a machine. It's too late for me. And there's no going back.” And so, after our conversation was over, we continued working around the ship. And when the Captain reared his ugly face in our presence, my partner smiled, threw himself overboard, and swam away into the ocean. And he swam away as fast as he could until he was far out of sight.

50. Exile: (2000)
Come on, you knew I was going to get to this one eventually. Besides, I'm sure there are some of you who were expecting me to get to this one dream I remember. Well, it's taken me this long. And yes, I know I've already went over this one in some of my earlier submissions that I posted. So guess there's no real need for me to go over this again. But what can I say? Despite it's short-lived run on television, Road Rovers was an important part of my childhood. And as such, I've had many dreams of its characters in the past. And this one dream that I had of Exile is one of the dreams which I remember the most because it left quite an impact on me. Well, there's no better time than now to go over this dream as I remember it in its entirety. Now before I go on, I just want to remind you all that this is perhaps one of the strangest, most random, and most bizarre dreams I've ever had. And I had this dream when I was in high-school. As I remember, I was visiting my sister during the summer. I arrived at her house on a dark stormy night, and unfortunately I had to sleep on the floor because there were no extra beds. Anyway, enough of that. Let's talk about the dream. It all started when I was wondering through a dark tunnel. And I was dressed in what looked like a Madmax inspired outfit with armored boots, gauntlets, shoulder pads, a jacket, and jeans with a fancy belt. I wasn't sure how I ended up in that tunnel. But I was determined to find my way out if I could. I walked for what seemed like hours. But when I reached a particular part of the tunnel, I heard what sounded like motors revving. And when I looked over my shoulder to see what was behind me, I saw a motorcycle gang hot on my trail. I raced in the opposite direction to elude my pursuers until I was cornered. But the bikers made a big mistake; cornering me triggered me to fight back and defend myself. And so after making short work of the bikers, I proceeded to the next part in the dream. I'm not sure how that happened. But since this was a dream, I guess logic doesn't count in this case.

Like in most dreams, this one seemed to jump from point to point quite randomly. And the next thing I knew, I was in what looked like a military complex of sorts. And judging by the personnel there, I'd say that it was one of Parvo's bases of operations with all the canomutants there. Not only where the canomutants from Hunter's Heroes present, but even the speedo-clad canomutants from Still a Few Bugs in the System where there. This was a pretty tricky situation for me. And I knew that the slightest mistake would cost me dearly. So I did my best not to attract unwanted attention by sneaking my way through the defenses in the facility. But then I was spotted by surveillance cameras, which triggered the alarm, and the guards tried to take me down with their blasters. But then I performed a Matrix style dodging technique, and avoided capture. And keep in mind this was back when “bullet time” was a popular technique in film. So much as various comedy films parodied the Matrix. So anyway, I made a hasty retreat and ran as my pursuers gave chase. Desperate to elude the guards, I raced to a nearby storage room where there were empty oil-drums. And as soon as I reached that part in the base, I ran into someone who I totally didn't expect to see there. And you guessed it; it was none other than Exile the Husky himself. Stopping at the storage room, I did a cartoony style halt with my feet screeching against the ground as Exile suddenly appeared right in front of me out of nowhere. He jumped over some of the oil drums and landed on his feet in a crouching position. But as he stood up, I analyzed him from his feet to his face, and I couldn't help but notice the way he was dressed; he was wearing an outfit that closely resembled the strange looking outfits that the gray canomutants wore from episode 9; "Still a Few Bugs in the System". Complete with a vest, speedo, belt, spiked wrist bands, and a dog collar. When I noticed this, I was like "What the hell?" And then I asked him: "Exile? What the hell are you doing dressed up like that?" The husky promptly grabbed me by one arm, dragged me into a hiding place, and said "Shhh! Not so loud, comrade! Don't attract unwanted attention from mutant doggy men!" Then he asked me what I was doing at the facility, and I told him that I had no idea how I ended up there, but for some reason I just ended up there.

And so, after we were done chatting, Exile decided to help me out, and we teamed up. We sneaked our way around the base, doing our best to get through without being spotted. But eventually, we got spotted, but as soon as we did, we fought back with brute force. Exile fought off the guards using wrestling techniques for close range combat, and then using his ice and heat beams to easily do away with the guards. While I helped out using brute force and martial art skills in a similar way I beat up the angry mob from the Heathcliff episode "Nightmare in Beverly Hills". When we were finished beating up the guards, Exile looked at me with a confused expression, watching as I handled the guards. And so he asked me; "Where did you learn to fight like that, comrade?" And I responded by saying "I took karate and tae-kwon-do classes when I was a kid." And then he compliments me by saying; "You sure can handle yourself!" And I replied by saying: "You ain't so bad yourself". As far as I know, this was one of the strangest dreams I can remember. And yet I remember every single detail of it like I just had it moments ago. And I especially remembered the way the dream ended which made even less sense. In fact, dig this; the dream ended with Exile pulling a sled with me and Blitz on it. I had no idea what that was all about. But then again, all dreams are pretty random. I mean everybody knows that, right?

But anyway, this particular scene in the dream with me running into Exile has struck me in such a way. I admit though that I was a bit weirded out when he appeared right in front of me wearing that strange and revealing outfit. Inevitably, this inspired me to draw Exile as he appeared in the dream, complete with the entire outfit. Because after having that dream, I just had to draw it out. But now that I think of it, he doesn't look so bad in this outfit. Because frankly, I can picture Exile as a professional wrestler dressed in that kind of attire. But of course, as I further experimented with the outfit, I felt that I needed to make some changes to it. Because one thing I immediately noticed is that the outfit that Exile wore in the dream was exactly the same as the one that the gray canomutants wore. The first change I made was to the bracelets. When I posted my first sketch, SilverZeo suggested that I change the bracelets because the spikes didn't seem to fit Exile. Naturally, I agreed, and so I changed them for golden bracelets, similar to what the Wolfpack Freedom Fighters wear in the Sonic universe. I must also give credit to Marlon94 for suggesting me to give Exile boots rather than being bare-footed. And I think adding boots was a nice touch. Further changes to the outfit include giving a darker tone of red as opposed to the brighter red. And I've even added a few accessories like a Road Rovers insignia for the belt buckle, a capital "E" for his name on the right side of his vest, the Russian flag on the left side of his vest, and a Husky logo on the back. And as for the speedo, I didn't really have to change much since he was wearing a speedo in the dream to begin with. The only real difference is that it's a darker tone of red than it was in the dream. So as you can imagine, it's basically the same outfit, but with some changes made to it so it looks more unique. And boy have I made quite a bit of fanart of Exile in this costume. Needless to say it seems to have become popular among fans of Road Rovers. In conclusion, this dream has left quite an impact on me. And it still has a special place in my heart to this day. And of course, Exile has appeared in a lot of other dreams that followed after this. And in many of them which I recall, he donned the modified form of this costume.

I took another look, and number 49 actually has a deep message in it, you've probably realized, but I noticed several dreams have deep messages in them, and each can help you a lot.
