"Get a hold of yourself Ant, it was a dream, nothing but a dream," Ant was curled up on his bed, talking to himself in the darkness, "It can't hurt you, dreams can't hurt you they are'nt real!!!"
For the past few weeks Ant had been having this dream, this bad dream. At first it only came at night when he was asleep, but now it was always present; whether he was awake or asleep, it was always there. He couldn't take it anymore it was driving him insane, soon enough he was going to snap and then it would all be over, his life as he knew it gone.
When Ant first had this dream it meant nothing at all, it just passed through his mind like most thoughts and dreams do, but now it was becoming more noticeable, now it was becoming more graphic and now it was almost real. And could feel their pain, Ant could see their suffering and he could hear their cries of agony, their cries for help, but he couldn't do anything, he could only sit and watch.
-----------
Hours passed, Ant just sat on his bed thinking about the dream, thinking about what it meant, thinking about what he could do, but he found no answers.
Ant stood up, he walked over to his window and pulled open the blinds, he was immediatly greeted by a blinding light.
"Dammit I can't see, stupid sun."
Ant looked out it was a beautiful day; the sun was shining, the sky was blue and the birds were singing there hearts out (not literaly) it was a lovely sight. Ant then looked around his room, the sight however was not so pretty, in fact it was the exact opposite to the outside world; it was dark, empty and cold.
"What can I do??" Ant sat back down on his bed, his head was throbbing, "Should I tell someone?? no I can't, no one will believe me, will they?? Maybe Meka will!! Yeah Meka will understand, I should tell him."

er-no was walking with Sheepy back to the overnight rooms and they began to talk about what everything could mean.
'I just don't have enough energy to do it again Sheepy!'
'er-no, we others need you, you have the power that none of us have you have the power to lift and move objects of any weight and from any distance....'
**er-no had his eyes closed**
'....are you listening to me?' Sheepy asked
'Oh sorry, I was saving a mans life in Egypt, a little bit of pyramid rubble had fallen and I moved it out of his way!'
'so, what is it to be, everyone will understand if you choose not to fight with us, you lost too much at the last encounter.'
'Sheepy, I will fight, but only this last time, my power is still here as strong as ever, but my will is near the end'
'Ok, I hear you, just remember what happens when a notable packs in...'
'Yes, he is given the curse of 'sniper' forever, and will die everyday for the rest of his life'
'Yes, well then this is my room'
'I will see you tommorrow Sheepy'
The two moved into their rooms thinking about the day ahead, Meka waited until 12:00 to give the new Sniper his key to his room.

er-no led Meka into a bright room, in it were the other five notables.
"Ah Meka you're here, take a seat, and you er-no" said Grix was sat at the far end of a long table, "Come on hurry up, we don't have all day you know!!"
Meka and er-no, quickly got to there seats.
"Well is everyone hear??" Grix looked around the table, "Good, Good. Then we shall begin, er-no if you will!"
"Ahem, Ok as you all should know we only ever gather here on occasions when... how should I put it, yes that's it ...when there is something a threat to the earth," er-no started to sweat all eyes were on him, "This threat, is no simple thing, we have thought against it before, and manage to somehow banish it, but we knew someday it would escape, and that day is drawing closer."
"I read about this before, My Lord." FM said
"Oh, and where was this, FM???" asked Grix
"It was in the prophecy, the writing on the wall in the Temple of Nackra!!"
"I've got to see this for myself FM I didn't know you could read Nackra Hyroglyphics!!"
"Oh yes my Lord, it's in my blood, I have Nackra ancients!!"
"Ok, tomorrow we leave for the Temple of Nackra!!!" Said Grix "Well if there is nothing else to be said the this meeting is over!!"
"Ummmmm Lord Grix, I have something to say," Meka said slowly.
"Oh yes Meka, what is it???"
"Well last time this happend there was a child with visions, of pain and suffering, who turned insane, do you remember him???"
"Yes I remember, how could we forget!? Now come on get on with it Meka!!"
"Well there is another one, his name is Ant, a 13 year old child, he lives around the corner from me in reality, he came to me this morning, looking for help, on the verge of insanity!!"
"Oh, did he?? so where is this child now Meka???"
"He's at my house, in a deep sleep, at the moment it is probably the only tghing keeping him sane!!"
"Meka you must go and get him now, Sniper go with him."
"Yes my Lord," both Meka and Sniper stood up.
"Hurry back because tomorrow we have a long treacherous journey ahead of us!!"
Sniper and Meka walked out of the room, they started to walk down the stairs, when Sniper tripped over, he rolled down to the bottom and stood up, then there came a creeking noise and one of the iron suits fell on top of him and the sword pierced through his skin.
"I'll see you in a minute then Sniper." Meka said chuckling to himself, he then carried on home
---------
A few hours passed and Meka had returned with Ant, Grix was waiting.
"Ah Meka you've returned, and this must be Ant!?"
"Yes I have and yes this is Ant, he's a bit tired at the moment so if you didn't ask him to many questions."
"Oh it's alright Meka I don't plan on asking him any questions, you forget I can read his mind!!" Grix rubbed the front of his top, boasting about his powers, "There is a room ready for him, it is the tranquil room, so it should relieve him of some stress."
"Ok my Lord."
"Oh Meka, you better get some rest aswell, we have a long day of ahead of us tomorrow!!" Grix walked off into his room.
Meka lead Ant to his room, showed him what was what, and then went off to bed.
"Ah Meka you're here, take a seat, and you er-no" said Grix was sat at the far end of a long table, "Come on hurry up, we don't have all day you know!!"

Meka lead Ant to his room, showed him what was what, and then went off to bed.
The pool glittered with the reflections of the sun and images slowly whirled around it of the past, the present and what may come to be the future. Grix considered the signs. "A second coming? Is this possible?" Grix wondered. "eh?" asked Er-No who had been sitting in the corner whittling at a staff of wood. "Hmm?" Grix became aware of the prescence of Er-No, who had almost managed to become part of the furniture "There are bad omens my friend, the prophecy may well come true." A look of horror crossed Er-No's face for just long enough to be noticed by Grix before Er-No managed to return to his usual non-emotional face. "Surely you are mistaken, we erased all knowledge of the first coming!" said Er-No in a tone that betrayed his fear. "Indeed, but we remember and you know well that memory can never truly be erased," replied Grix. "Shall I gather the council?" asked Er-No. "Yes, I believe they should know about this, I shall collect the ancient disks and we shall show them the evidence.
Meka arrived at the office block and made his sacred sign to the guard at the door. Passing through the halls he almost walked straight into Er-No. "Watch where you're going you damned fool!" Said Er-No and then realised who the fool was "Oh it's you Meka, I was looking for you." "Well it appears you've found me, and I'm a little worse for it" said Meka. "Yes, well, the council is in session there have been bad signs," Er-No told him. "It get's worse, I have found the dreamer, I must inform the council," said Meka with urgency in his voice. "Come with me then," said Er-No leading Meka away.

Luckily for Ant Meka was knowledgable in the ways of the world, and regression hypnosis!
After a brief chat Meka decided that he must delve deeper into Ants dream.
Hours passed then finally a breakthrough...
Meka: What do you see Ant!
Ant: I see people, billions of people suffering, I can feel their pain.
Meka: Go on.
Ant: I cant help them, I'm trying but ... I cant, arrgghh!
Meka: Your in a safe place Ant, I'm here if its to painfull you can come out now or at any time!
Ant: Theres a small girl playing in the park with her friends, she seems happy....Arrrgghh wait theres a bright green light, its engulfing everything in its path destroying anything who opposses it... such hatred, such evil... Wait its comming from me, no, no I didnt mean to kill her.
Meka: Do you want to come out!
Ant: No I feel this great joy, a joy at the sadness of the world. Wait theres a Xbox on the floor and its green glow is calling me.
Meka: What do you see...
Ant: A reflection, no, noooo Im Bill Gates!
Meka: Thats it Im bringing you out...
Ant awoke but was in a comma, Ant had to rest at least for now. Meka knew this was beyond even his powers,perhaps even beyond the powers of the Notables. Meka decided to assemble everyone he knew to announce his findings... action had to be swift if the world was to be saved....

"Get a hold of yourself Ant, it was a dream, nothing but a dream," Ant was curled up on his bed, talking to himself in the darkness, "It can't hurt you, dreams can't hurt you they are'nt real!!!"
For the past few weeks Ant had been having this dream, this bad dream. At first it only came at night when he was asleep, but now it was always present; whether he was awake or asleep, it was always there. He couldn't take it anymore it was driving him insane, soon enough he was going to snap and then it would all be over, his life as he knew it gone.
When Ant first had this dream it meant nothing at all, it just passed through his mind like most thoughts and dreams do, but now it was becoming more noticeable, now it was becoming more graphic and now it was almost real. And could feel their pain, Ant could see their suffering and he could hear their cries of agony, their cries for help, but he couldn't do anything, he could only sit and watch.
-----------
Hours passed, Ant just sat on his bed thinking about the dream, thinking about what it meant, thinking about what he could do, but he found no answers.
Ant stood up, he walked over to his window and pulled open the blinds, he was immediatly greeted by a blinding light.
"Dammit I can't see, stupid sun."
Ant looked out it was a beautiful day; the sun was shining, the sky was blue and the birds were singing there hearts out (not literaly) it was a lovely sight. Ant then looked around his room, the sight however was not so pretty, in fact it was the exact opposite to the outside world; it was dark, empty and cold.
"What can I do??" Ant sat back down on his bed, his head was throbbing, "Should I tell someone?? no I can't, no one will believe me, will they?? Maybe Meka will!! Yeah Meka will understand, I should tell him."
