Now...

Gradient sighed. And after that, Dr. Buck checks on him to see if he's injured. Gradient said that he is fine, and he doesn't need it. But Dr. Buck insists so, and he agreed to let her see if he's okay, though he had to use his pixels to cover up the injuries that he had before he arrived at the foundation.

Well, he shouldn't think of this for now. He than closed his eye sockets, and he goes to sleep, as his eye lights dimmed and faded into the darkness.

Dream World...

Gradient looks around, and sees that he is in a pitch black empty void of sorts. But as he looked around, he hears a voice calling from behind him.

"Gradient. Thank goodness that you are able to talk to me now."

Gradient turned around, and saw a bright purple sphere of light behind him, surrounded with purple paint, as Gradient realized that it is Palette Roller. Gradient nodded his head, as he than spoke out.

"Yeah, nice to see you as well, in the dream world, I mean."

Palette nodded, as he than floats forward, and he glows brightly, as he appears before Gradient in his usual form. The entire landscape changed, as it resembles the original Dreamtale, before Nightmare had corrupted and destroyed it. Gradient has no idea why he chose an area to look like this, but he will not complain as it is the leash of his worries. He looks back at Palette, as he than spoke out.

"So...it is very...interesting, to say the least, the foundation, I mean."

Gradient nodded his head, as he than spoke out.

"Okay, I'll get straight to the point. I have been acting a little...well...worried, recently, about something."

Palette looks at Gradient, as he than spoke out.

"What?"

Gradient than looks up at Palette and spoke out.

"Not what, who. It is about this Jared human. He is making me a little suspicious of him, due to the way that he is acting towards me. He looks like that he wants to kill me for some unknown, strange reason, even though I have not done anything bad to him. At least, nothing that I can think of."

Palette looks at Gradient and spoke out.

"No, you didn't do anything bad. In fact, I have a similar feeling to that man as well. There is something wrong about Jared. And I do not know why, like you do not know as well."

Gradient looks down, as he spoke out.

"There is something very wrong, Palette, and it is obvious not a very good thing at all, to have a feeling such as this. Maybe we should-"

Before Gradient could finish speaking, he stopped, and so did Palette, as Gradient spoke out.

"Do you...feel something, Palette Roller? I feel like we aren't the only ones here."

Palette nodded his head, as he spoke out.

"I hear you. I have a feeling something is wrong as well. It feels like someone is invading this dream world that we are in."

But that is impossible. Only Dead!Dream, the stronger version of the original Dream, as well as one of the fathers of Palette, he is the only one capable of such a feat, and he is not in this universe. He is not even aware of it. So who is he feeling it from all of a sudden? Than, a blinding light occurred, as Gradient and Palette closed their eyes, in order to protect their vision, at what is happening. When the light died down, they both opened their eyes, as they looked around.
