Dream ~ Mutant Slaughter

This dream starts in a computer shop where I am working trying to get the TVs fixed. It isn't officially open but there are some young female customers my age in the store looking around at merchandise, while standing close to me so I'm really self-conscious. Well what I'm working on is on the floor, it's a group of TVs  of varying size connected creating a vague cross shape. Most of them change to a channel displaying a lot of muscled men posing and such (like a bodybuilding competition). Blushing I quickly work to change the channel to find one showing some really extreme body modifications people do on themselves. Since this is taking place in the future some things here I haven't even heard of being done before. It shows people getting their faces changed like in "Repo! The Genetic Opera". A musical genre movie, I love it! Most worrying to me though was the man and is very young son being altered so he was like some rock/metal soldier hybrid with his son sporting a large left arm kind of like Hellboy. Poor kid if he ever changes his mind later! I remember seeing all different kinds of things for several minutes before the dream shifts almost like I was in the TV.

Only some people where I suddenly found myself had modifications like this. The sort of "auditorium" where I was now was actually a party, many people knew each other since this was an annual party. A year before I came along not expecting much but enjoyed just talking with some people there. There some handsome looking guys there and obviously gay by their apparently picking some other guys and, well body language can speak for itself.  They seemed to pick some other guys, and it seemed they didn't even come with them so yeah could motives be a little more obvious? Nearing the end of the party I my eye caught a tall, dark, and strong guy hanging out near the front stage checking me out. The man was huge, over a head taller than me and built like a tank.  He looked familiar though I couldn't really figure out why. He greeted me friendly and we got along great. I realized a little bit after talking that now that he party is ending I have to wake up from this dream (kind of like dream sharing, this is the future afterall). I quickly ask him where he lives and replies with something like "Harding" I can't quite remember now but I take to memorizing the town's name. "That's not far from where I live I'll drop by soon!" I promise him shouting as this world fades and "reality" settles back in.

Now where I live my parents are important people who protect everyone within the confines of the shield from the outside's modern age war wages against man and mutants as each is fighting on just about every front possible. Fire isn't even limited to the other race as they bicker and shoot at their own "species" as well. It's impossible to leave this shielded city without a crystal, all of which are kept in a locked chamber that powers the shield itself so taking one would weaken it. But I wanted to break free and spread my wings anyway so I break into the chamber without disabling the security because I just don't have that skill. A giant  floating and dull metallic ball hovers low in the room. Soon I discover that to be the security mechanism. It shoots a gold beam of light at me which only stings as much as a static shock, however the real danger of it is the floors. It activates the thick semi-transparent "bars" on the floor so they raise up to the roof blocking the way out. Understanding the urgency in which I had to act I surprise myself by jumping onto a 'chandelier", swinging to the most vulnerable crystal and snatching it from space. The shield surround this chamber itself collapses revealing that some of the walls were merely illusion as it had crumbled ages ago.

Now the thing is that the shield chamber is enclosed underground. Father probably already heard the security alarms go off so he's going to be coming soon. I make for the broken wall only to have that ball raise the floor just a ways from it. Backing off and make towards the now closed entrance. It tries to cage me in by raising floors around me but I'm quicker and circle the obstacles til I"m around the security ball. The system isn't really very bright as it fires right when I'm on top of it. It didn't take much force for me to bring it on my position in which it gets raised to the roof and bursts into a bunch of shards. The entrance reopens but like I said i wanted to avoid father's wrath if he caught me down there.

There isn't much hope of escaping back to the surface, but the city I knew so well couldn't be totally self sufficient. Already I could see mysterious pipes stretching out. Unless I knew I could walk into them I wasn't going to waste time. Whoever stole the crystal (which happened to be me) wouldn't be let off lightly. Everything could have been better planned out yet it was already too late and the net was going close around me if I didn't learn quick. So going around the chamber's modern concrete walls with military designations on them contrast to the sort of magic/fantasy look inside it of it, and the Utopian society it supports.. I'm starting to see the world in another light (or dark) when I come upon a town hidden in the darkness down here. I'm surprised a little but realize the town "Harding" that I remember being nearby is this place right here. Vaguely I think back to my childhood. could this have been where I lived at one time?

Old houses lay there barely kept and mutants have made them their homes here. Right underneath a floating plate that completely blotted out the sky. I realize that if they are searching for me they will inevitably find this place and hunt the mutants here too! A terrible thing to happen all because I wanted to meet a guy in person. A rather scary and demonic looking man with Ram horns, black shaggy fur and huge muscles (a mutant) stops me as I approach the outer part of this community. It's hard to seem him as I'm not used to the lack of light here but faint reds in his eyes and hair have a sort of glow that reveal him to me.

I tell him I was going to meet a someone in Harding as i motion in front of me. He just crosses his arms and nodded completely believing me. Next...I can't quite remember because it happened fast. Next thing I know soldiers in armor similar in design of the antagonists from Killzone arrive guns ablazing. It's somehow bright morning and there's snow about instead of the dead land I saw before full of nothing but dirt and decay. A snow mobile flies over me as I duck under a steep slope. I remember seeing some children being shot down as the man who had stopped from entering town earlier tried futilely to save them only to be shot down as well. A terrible fate all because of me...and I was about to found. Ideas were starting to formulate in my head. Options still open to me like running or negotiating. But before this dream continues further I wake up to the annoying sound of a garage door.
