Darkrai vs Bedman is a What-If?Death Battle by LakuitaBro01.2
Description:[]
Pokemon vs Guilty Gear! The dark masters of dreams clash in the dream world for one truly nightmarish battle! Will Darkrai's potent nightmare give Bedman night terrors? Or will Bedman send the Pitch Black Pokemon to sleep?
Interlude:[]
Wiz: We as humans have the innate ability to dream. Dreams can be nonsensical wonders, or they can reflect our daily lives. In some cases, we can have nightmares.
Boomstick: Whether it be dreaming about your dog dying, getting fired from your job, or day dreaming about getting married, everyone will experience nightmares at some point in their lives.
Wiz: Having a mastery over the dreams of others is a nightmarish ability that's been explored in films like Nightmare of Elm Street, but this battle will take it even further.
Boomstick: Darkrai, the Pitch Black Pokemon.
Wiz: And Bedman, the Dream World's Assassin.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to see who would win a Death Battle.
Darkrai:[]
Wiz: The Sinnoh region is known for their awe inspiring Legendary Pokemon. From the gods of time and space Dialga and Pokemon, to the leader of the golems Regigigas, to even God itself: Arceus.
Boomstick: With so many legendaries, one duo stands out the most: the Lunar Duo. Cresselia represents the crescent moon and pleasant dreams. Like a weird horse looking sandman.
Wiz: But on the other side, we have the master of nightmares: Darkrai. While it may look like it's a terrible, malevolent beast, Darkrai is more often than not just a peaceful creature.
Boomstick: Sure it can creep in on you by phasing through walls and tapping into your very dreams for a snack, but not everything is gonna be the Zodiac Killer.
Wiz: If you would've guessed, Darkrai is capable of manipulating the dreams of any living creature around it, whether it be willing or not.
Boomstick: Darkrai's signature ability is called Bad Dreams. Anyone near it who happens to be sleeping will experience nightmares so terrifying that it will harm and possibly kill them given enough time.
Wiz: Coupled with its signature move Dark Void which puts any Pokemon to sleep, it's a very dangerous combo which makes the Pitch Black Pokemon a menace.
Boomstick: In some instances, Dark Void can be used to pull Darkrai's enemies into its own world. Like some sort of black hole of child support.
Wiz: If Darkrai needs to heal, it can use Dream Eater on its sleeping foes, or use Nightmare to really hurt them too. Its main projectile attack is Dark Pulse, a blast of pure negative emotion.
Boomstick: It can use Nasty Plot to raise its attack power as well as create doubles of itself with Double team to confuse its attacker. Hell, it can use Ominous Wind to attack AND possibly raise all of its stats. Sky's the limit when you feed off dreams every day.
Wiz: Darkrai is an immensely powerful Pokemon. Not only is it Cresselia's equal, but it's also able to take hits from Palkia, one of the rulers of space time, while it was locked in a heated battle with its rival Dialga.
Boomstick: This Zavok looking son of a bitch was even able to use its Dark Void to restrain BOTH of these literal gods for several minutes. Hell, it was the main reason behind Dialga's rampage in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
Wiz: Due to Darkrai's position in the legendary Pokemon hierarchy, at absolute minimum it should be on par if not faster than the Alola Legendaries. Considering how Darkrai could keep up with the god of time itself, it should be far faster.
Boomstick: Darkrai is a monster of nightmarish proportions. Literally. With its only notable weakness being that Bad Dreams would only work on sleeping foes, the Pitch Black Pokemon is a terrifying adversary to face off with.
Bedman:[]
Wiz: Long ago, mankind was faced with an impossible predicament: ditch all technology in the world, or let unknown life manifest itself and potentially terrorize the human populace. Facing societal collapse or mass extinction, humanity took a step back and let technology go.
Boomstick: Just as society was about to collapse, a group of mages called the Apostles introduced humanity to Magic, the new standard for living. After banning technology, industry, weapons of mass destruction, and pollution, the world became more at peace.
Wiz: This new world brought many new opportunities and characters to life, with none being as eccentric as the dream world assassin: Bedman.
Boomstick: Not much is known about Bedman aside from the fact he's strapped to a bed that weighs as much as my ex-wife and that he's trying to reset the universe for his sister.
Wiz: As a toddler, Bedman mental energy levels were so intense that his physical form could not handle it.
Boomstick: So in other words, he's so big brained he needs to be asleep to keep his mental processes down. But that doesn't let his combat prowess falter. He uses his dream powers for some crazy shit!
Wiz: Bedman's bedframe is equipped with buzzsaws and a detachable boomerang head. While he can turn into a top, slam his bed on the ground, or throw his head, his signature ability is Deja Vu. He can cast a projection that repeats the moves he had just done while moving freely as well.
Boomstick: He also has the uncanny ability to teleport around his foes before their attacks can even touch him. Sticking true to his Dream World abilities, Bedman has a nightmare sheep that follows his foes and stuns them on contact, so there's that.
Wiz: But that's not all. In the Dream World, Bedman is more like Freddy Krueger in that in his own world, all he says is law. He can kill you with little difficulty, heal his wounds, or make you do whatever he wants.
Boomstick: He can also freely drag his foes into this shit whenever he pleases, and if he's ever desperate he can call upon the Absolute World. Basically it's Guilty Gear's version of dinosaur extinction on a universal scale, except Bedman's version is more centralized.
Wiz: On top of that, Bedman has resisted the effect of this literal extinction level event, granted it was only for just a couple of minutes. He still has several combat feats of note.
Boomstick: Bedman can keep up with Jack-O and Sol Badguy, he can trap That Man in a Nightmare World, and he was strong enough to make Slayer second guess himself.
Wiz: Just for reference, just by existing simultaneously, the Scales of Juno and the Flames of Corruption, which is what Jack-O and Sol are, will rest the entire universe.
Boomstick: For strong as he is though, Bedman has his faults. He will not shut the fuck up about anything, and he cannot warp or erase anything in the real world. If he's ever woken up or removed from his bed, he has 4 minutes to fall back asleep. Otherwise his head will explode and he's a goner. But with his intellect and mastery over dreams, Bedman is a terrifying assassin to deal with.
Death Battle:[]
The ticking of the clock rang throughout the city. The constant noise would drive anyone insane, but to the quiet town around it, the noise had a peaceful quality to it. Peaceful enough that even the newborn would stop crying upon hearing it. But tonight was not like any other night. All across the town, the constant ticking seeped into people's dreams, giving everyone nightmares like you wouldn't believe.
A lone, shadowy figure loomed over the town. Its mere presence was enough to give people horrible dreams. The figure zoomed through the town, just passing through, and once it was gone nobody would experience their nightmares anymore.
As the figure flew by the large clocktower in the middle, something called out to it from inside. It stopped and looked at the stone walls of the ancient architecture. Something was moving around inside, something that was calling out its name, something that was taunting it.
"Darkrai... oh, Darkraiii..." the voice called out in its head.
The Pokemon phased through the ancient walls of the tower. The constantly moving gears and clock hands ringing loudly on the inside as opposed to the outside. As it floated down, the moon light shined through the face of the clock and onto the top floor of the tower, where all the gears sat.
On a single bed laid a young man with purple hair, a purple night gown, black leg markings, and nails driven into his shoulder blades. The strangest thing about this scene was that the man was sleeping peacefully. Darkrai extended a hand towards this human that seemed unaffected by its abilities.
Darkrai stopped. It looked up to see a strange looking seal above its head. It was a circle with a spiral in it. Just then, as the Pokemon spotted the seal, a grayscale version of the man came spinning at it on what looked like a top. Darkrai dodged to the side and destroyed it with a Dark Pulse.
The man's bed suddenly shook violently and shot up, turning into a mech with wheels, two buzzsaws for arms, and a head that kept rotating like a clock. Even though he was still seemingly asleep, the man smiled.
"Oh marvelous! How splendid! You weren't a complete mook who fell for my trap. I must say for a brainless creature, you appear to be a cut above the rest! Which isn't really saying much if you ask, well, anyone."
The man's voice was eccentric, and the movements of his machine seemed to be in line with the words he was saying. He continued on.
"Allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Bedman, soon to be creator of the new world. I know you have a latent ability for giving people nightmares and I must say how truly devilish it is! It also appears to be a passive ability as well since just for being around you people are quite shaken. I must admit myself that I'm a little under your spell as well, being asleep and all."
Darkrai just stood there listening to this guy prattle on. It knew some of the human language from all its time spent around them, but this one could sure speak his mind well.
"However your ability would be quite useful in helping bring about an Absolute World that would destroy this planet and create a new one fit for me and the only people who would deserve it. What do you say?"
"GO..."
Darkrai blasted a Dark Pulse at Bedman, but he just teleported off to the side and let his shoulders drop.
"Ah, what a waste of potential. But at least I know now that you can speak so your cries of pain will be all the more pleasant. Just remember, you did this to yourself, so let me be the one to say YOU can go."
Does the Sheep count the Sheep? - Guilty Gear Xrd
Bedman's buzzsaw uppercut the Pitch Black Pokemon. Shattered glass rained down onto the streets below as Darkrai stuck a landing, glaring up at the bed riding megalomaniac. Bedman jumped down, his bed's buzzsaws spinning quickly.
"Shall we get this started, Darkrai?"
FIGHT!
Darkrai hovered in the air for a moment before diving down with a fist extended, making contact with the bed's head, which had lurched forwards to parry the blow. The Pokemon looked down at his sleeping foe, who was smiling at the feeblish attempt to damage him. It reached down to grab at the body, but instead a buzzsaw caught it right in the side, followed by another slice on its other side. Before Darkrai could recover from the left-right blow, the bed threw its head at Darkrai, knocking it backwards. As the monster recoiled and lunged for Bedman, the head came back around and slammed it into a nearby stone wall.
"Oh my I must say you're going to make this fight rather easy if you keep making moves this predictable. Granted, something with a mental capacity such as yours would never be able to figure out the inner workings on my mind, let alone my abilities." Bedman gloated.
Erupting out from the rubble, the Pokemon grabbed the bed's neck and slammed it into the ground, creating a small crater from the force of the impact. It turned around and fired a Dark Pulse, but the bed just teleported above the Pokemon, bringing its saws down upon its head. However, instead of falling, it resisted the blow. Pushing the arms away, Darkrai grabbed the bed by the sides and flew off with it, crashing through house after house. Not disturbing those under the effects of its ability, the two opponents ended up on the roof of an apartment building.
The ticking of the clock wasn't nearly as loud as it had been before, but in the silence between the foes it was deafening. Bedman's cocky smile was still on his punchable face. The Pokemon growled as it glared at its foe. In an instant, as if the shadow blinked, the assassin was on its right; the big, bulbous clock head just inches away from its face.
"Now listen, Darkrai, there's a clear difference between the two of us. Sure, you may be surprisingly quick, but you can't damage my bed with some stray hits. I've already given you a proposal and if you don't accept it then this rooftop may very well be painted with whatever color your blood is." the assassin stated, his smile replaced with a stone cold face. Darkrai stood standing there, emotionlessly giving its foe the side eye.
"Ah, well I see now what your answer is. ta-ta!"
A buzzsaw activated and swung right for the Pokemon's neck. It made contact, but instead of sinking into flesh, the saw went right through it. Darkrai closed its eyes and sunk into the apartment building below.
"Oh surprise, surprise. Intangibility as well? How marvelous. That won't help you in getting away from me though."
Down below, Darkrai quietly walked the halls, cautious of wherever its foe may pop out from next. The faint sound of an engine stopped it in its tracks. After a few seconds, it passed, calming its nerves. One more step and suddenly a buzzsaw burst out of the dry wall and towards its body. The Pokemon ducked below the attack and turned towards its attacker to see nothing except a damaged wall. At the opposite end of the hallway was the bed. It made its way over towards Darkrai with the saws stretched out, cutting into the wall.
"You put yourself into a corner here. Sure you can phase out the wall behind you to the streets below but I can just teleport out there and catch you. I told you there's absolutely nowhere for you to run so just accept it."
Ignoring the warning, the Pokemon instead phased into a nearby apartment and into a bedroom. The person sleeping there was experiencing one of the nightmares induced by Darkrai's presence, and it was about to get just a tad more terrifying. The shadow positioned itself in the middle of the room, waiting for its foe to teleport into the room. Sure enough, that's exactly what Bedman did. The assassin's bed lurched towards the Pokemon, but before it could hurt him, the shadow opened a portal, pulling both fighters in and sending them into the sleeping human's nightmare.
"Oh what in the hell are you doing?!" Bedman screamed as they were dropped into the middle of another fight.
Grimm vs Freddy Krueger by Y3p owo[]
The battle between Grimm and Freddy was heating up as the Nightmare King entered his new, malicious form. Every plume of fire and every shink of a finger blade bloodied the room as the fighters slugged each other back and forth in an attempt to overpower the other. Freddy grabbed the Nightmare King by the shoulder and plunged his knives into his stomach, slightly piercing through to his back. Grimm coughed up blood as he shapeshifted into his larva form, attempting to get away from his attacker for a moment.
"GET BACK HERE AND DIE LIKE THE FUCKING BITCH YOU ARE!" Freddy roared as he broke into a madman's sprint after his tiny foe.
Grimm turned as his eyes flashed red, and he puffed up, spraying fire in every direction. Just before the flames could hit the slasher, a portal opened up above them and out fell the Pokemon and the Assassin right onto Grimm, thus halting his attack. Freddy sighed in relief as Grimm was in the middle of a tussle, allowing him to momentarily catch his breath.
Acting quickly, the Pokemon grabbed the bed's neck and slammed it to the ground as Grimm flew away once again in his larva form. Freddy watched, inspired by the two new fighters, but his eyes slowly and slyly came to rest on Grimm, who had reformed across the room and stared him down. Freddy raised a finger, halting Bedman and Darkrai's fighting and tossed them towards Grimm, creating a dogpile.
"AaaaaaaaallllRIGHT! Everybody... FREEZE!" Freddy shouted with a cackle as all three fighters suddenly froze in place. Ice began to creep up to their necks, leaving the three stuck in a stasis as Freddy approached with his arms stretched wide open, twirling his finger blades.
"You damned Pokemon look at what you did. You've put us right in the middle of another brawl but this time with some sort of omnipotent man! Now, using my intellect, I may find a way out of this, but for you I believe there's no where to go from here but six feet under. All I must do is break out of this ice cage and it will all be fine-" Bedman prattled on before the ice fully encompassed his mech, silencing him.
"You talk too much, sleepy head!" Freddy called out as he circled Bedman before continuing. "You're in MY world! I am the ruler of the dream world! Me! Freddy!" he cackled once more.
Like a piece of paper, Bedman crumpled, turning into many chunks of ice, seemingly killing him. Freddy jumped with glee like a little girl who was just given a puppy for Christmas. However, just a few feet away, Bedman reappeared.
"Ah, yes, see Mr. Krueger you appear to be a dream yourself. You are not real, just a figment of some poor soul's imagination." Bedman explained.
Freddy huffed and he puffed and he bolted right at Bedman. Just before he could land a direct hit to the assassin's head, the bed teleported out of the way. Instead leaving Grimm in his place. Krueger's claws found their mark in Grimm's brain, instantly killing the Grimm Troupe's master. Instantly, the whole world began to shake and fall apart, and Freddy looked at his hands as he slowly began to disappear, screaming bloody murder.
"S-Son of a BITCH!" he screamed as he fully disappeared.
The Pokemon finally broke out of the ice and opened another portal and disappeared into it. The bed followed close behind it as the portal closed. Back in the real world, the dreamer had woken up and looked around, sweating profusely. What a nightmare that was.
Devil Mario vs Sonic.EXE by The Golden Moustache[]
Live and Learn - Sonic Adventure 2
Devil Mario was currently in the middle of being crushed in the hands of the giant demon Exeller. The damn blue monster had grown massive in size, and the possessed plumber could only struggle as the grip on him tightened, causing blood to rush to his head and his eyes to bug out. The hedgehog let out a hellish gargle of a cackle as the possessed hero roared back in defiance. Suddenly, a flash of aura emitted from Mario, blinding is foe and loosening his grip on him. He kicked off the giant's hand, waving his katana wildly across his foe's chest, stomach and entire body as Exeller could only help to thrash around aimlessly.
While the battle would eventually go into Exeller's favor, times would change as Darkrai's portal opened above the demonic brawlers, tossing the two dream world inhabitants right onto Exeller's head. Surprisingly this went unnoticed as the giant's full attention was on his tiny foe. Just as the giant began to float up in the air, Bedman's bed launched itself upwards and slammed down in a ground pound-esque manor, being forceful enough to completely knock Exeller flat on his back.
Taking the opportunity, the plumber ran all over his foe's body, slashing it up. The demon bellowed in pain, shaking the very air around them as normal sized clones surrounded him, attacking anything that was not a blue hedgehog. This took the original fighters attention away from each other as these terrifying creatures surrounded them.
"How ghastly this situation is. say, Darkrai, for the moment let's put our differences aside and take care of these insolent demons, shall we?"
Foes turned temporary allies, Bedman's bed make quick work of the clones as Darkrai used double team, splitting into countless copies of himself, each one went to work in destroying these clones. The Pokemon charged up a Dark Pulse and fired it at a random group of clones that looked piled up, freeing Devil Mario from what was certainly a close death. Gripping his katana, Devil Mario charged the now getting up Exeller. Running up his stomach, he slashed his foe repeatedly before kicking off his chest and aiming his sword downwards.
Realizing the situation, the Pitch Black Pokemon ripped open another portal and escaped with his enemy close behind as the sword was plunged deep into the head of the demon, causing it to release an ear splitting screech.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH" yelled the giant as his body slowly began to erode and turn to dust while his foe stood triumphantly above him, pulling the sword out quickly to create a fountain of blood.
The plumber nodded his head at his now deceased foe and smirked as he too was erased from existence. In the real world, the dreamer sat up in bed in a cold sweat, accidentally slamming their head on their night stand on their way up. Gripping their head, they got up to get a drink of water.
"...That's not how that'd go..."
Greymon vs Goodra by Vrokorta[]
Battle! Trainer - Pokemon X and Y
The two dream demons fell right from the portal and into a flood of dirty water cascading over the greenery. As they struggled to stay afloat, many more water based projectiles flew overhead, nailing a massive orange dragon over and over. Bedman's frame flung itself out of the water, leaving a seal hanging mid air as Darkrai dove into a portal below the waves, appearing in mid air watching the scene.
The orange dragon, Greymon, had his back on the ropes as the onslaught of water was coming from a giant snail dragon known as Goodra. With a swelling roar, Greymon slammed his foot on the ground, uprooting the very earth below him and launching Goodra from her high ground and towards a boulder. With a wet slap, coating the rock in slime, Goodra went flying back towards Greymon, who had his mouth open, ready to chow down onto some escargot.
At the last second, the seal activated and a copy of Bedman slammed down onto Greymon, forcing his moth shut just shy of his target. Goodra's messy body slammed into the Digimon and forced him to the ground, the slime dripping from her body and onto him. Bedman grimaced at the sight. During the distraction, Darkrai suddenly erupted with speed towards Bedman, landing a direct punch onto the man himself. The bed recoiled from the blow and put its arms to Bedman's chest.
"That HURT!" he yelled as the bed sprung forward, spinning around like a top. Darkrai flew away but it was being chased down like a wild animal. Looking to the corner of his eye, he made eye contact with Goodra, who had finally noticed their existence.
"D-Darkrai?!" she yelled in surprise.
"GO!"
A shiver went down Goodra's spine. The ghostly, hoarse voice of the Bad Dream Pokemon echoed around her, and all she could do was obey. She slid off of Greymon and ran for the trees while the sheer excess amount of slime stuck her foe to the ground. Greymon could only look and let out a muffled scream of terror as Darkrai and the spinning death trap went right towards him.
shunk
Bedman's body almost went flying off of his bed. One of the spikes from the bedframe embedded itself deep into Greymon's head, leaving the assassin stuck in place and the dragon dead on the spot.
Flying around its foe in a circle, Darkrai lunged for Bedman with a Dark Pulse charged and ready to fire, but the bed reached out and stopped the attack, pulling it to eye level with the sleeping foe.
"You know there was one dream in particular I saw on our way here and I thought 'wow how lovely I must bring Darkrai to see this!' So how about we go ahead and find the dream where these two wolves are fighting and have ourselves a tête-à-tête, hm?"
As the world faded out of existence, Bedman pulled the Pokemon into his own portal, barely escaping the incoming void. In the real world, the dreamer rose out of consciousness just for a second, but then fell back to sleep. It was a really long day for them.
Jon Talbain vs Sabrewulf by SoMaShadow[]
Upon entering the new dream, Bedman pushed away from his foe as a pillar of flame erupted from below, covering the Pokemon in flames. Bedman stayed afloat in the air as the flames dispersed, leaving nothing behind. He smirked to himself, his foe had been turned to ash in only the fourth dream.
Down below, there were two wolves. One standing triumphantly above the other, who was currently in the middle of crawling away like it was prey. The blue wolf roared and severed the arm that was pulling the full weight of the downed beast.
"Ah, the circle of life. Always ends in death; nothing more nothing less. Just as I have triumphed over that pest of a demon, so has this werewolf over his beast counterpart. I suppose I will just have to figure out a different way to bring about my world."
Bedman turned to leave through a portal to the real world. Down below, the blue wolf, Jon Talbain, was about to sink his teeth into the neck of his foe.
"GAH!"
Not the scream you'd expect to hear from a werewolf. The downed lycan, Sabrewulf, opened his eyes to see Jon was no longer standing over him. He sat his armless body up to look around: no one at all. He fainted from the blood loss as the battle had continued elsewhere.
Back in the real world
The dreamer had woken up abruptly. A demonic looking wolf from his dream and a bedridden man were entangled in the middle of his bedroom floor. Jon's teeth were sunk into Bedman's sternum. The bed was scrambling to rip the wolf away from his chest while the man himself was pondering how this could have happened.
From a portal above, Darkrai floated into the room upside down, opening a portal under the dreamer as well. With the civilian out of the room, the Pokemon turned his attention to Bedman.
"H-How did you?"
Then it hit Bedman. Just before Jon delivered his finishing blow, and before Bedman could leave, Darkrai had opened a portal connecting Sabrewulf's neck to Bedman's chest, causing Jon's attack to hit the assassin instead.
"You BASTARD!"
Jon's head was immediately separated from his body as the buzzsaw dug itself into him. The bedframe stood there for a second. Blood dripped from Bedman's open wound as the nightmare stood in the corner of the room, watching his foe gather his nerve.
Not even a blink of time went by and the assassin was suddenly behind his foe with the spikes on his buzzsaws dug into the sides of the black shape.
"There's no chance in hell that a feral beast such as yourself can have more power over dreams than I! I am Bedman! I must create the perfect world! Just be my pawn for a moment!"
The hysterical screaming nearly woke up the other denizens of the apartment complex if it wasn't for the near instant silence that followed. The room was eerily quiet, and what was left behind was only a portal which was closing.
Baldi vs Mr. Crocker by TheGreatDimentio![]
Giant Robot - The Fairly Odd Parents: Shadow Showdown
Magic was being blasted all over the school, and imprints of the letter F was ingrained onto nearly every surface visible. A bald man in a green sweater was running away from a complete madman who mad metal appendages sticking out of him.
"BAAAALDIIIII!" the man yelled as a tentacle ripped a wall open.
The other teacher, Denzel Crocker, stuck his body through the wall as a ruler slightly pierced one of his tentacles.
"Ha! Fool! Wood can't cut through metal! I thought you were smarter than that!"
The bald teacher was immediately blasted through wall and had his ruler taken away from him. Nonetheless he stood his ground and his Mr. Crocker with a barrage of attacks which did nothing short of just proving he was a mild inconvenience. Just as Crocker was about to deal the final blow, Darkrai went hurdling through a portal and crashed into him, knocking the Fairy Freezer straight up into the air.
"What in the world?!" Crocker yelled as he scrambled to find his glasses.
Bedman touched down shortly after his foe and held him up in the air. Crocker fixed his glasses and stared at the figure in front of him. It was floating, it looked like a magical creature, and he could tell it had some sort of unknown power that just MADE him curious. It dawned on him as to what this ethereal figure could be.
"A FAIRY GODPARENT!"
Crocker's body contorted with every syllable. He had found what set his magic detector off and there was no need to continue to battle this deranged, balding weirdo. Just as he was about to get up and capture Darkrai, he felt himself freezing in place. He turned in horror to see Baldi holding his own weapon and using it against him.
"NNNNOOOOOOOO!"
His entire life was spent hunting fairies, and just as he was finally able to find one, he was going to die.
As he was being frozen in place, Darkrai broke free from its foe's grasp with a Dark Pulse to the face. Before the assassin could recover, he found himself being dragged through the walls of the school, eventually leading to outside where the land immediately dropped off into a bottomless void below. Darkrai opened a portal to another dream and the duo disappeared once more.
Unfortunately for Baldi, the dream was no longer affected by the presence of the two interlopers. Crocker broke free and ripped the man to shreds with his tentacles, abruptly ending the life of the poor teacher, but in this world everything was right.
Aqua Bomber Vs. Amy Rose by ThunderStar20[]
In the dimly lit warehouse, Aqua Bomber stared at her surroundings trying to make out any shape she could see. After straining her eyes, and only seeing crates and scaffolds of many different sizes, she gave up. Suddenly a blow was dealt to her side, flooring her upon impact. Even before she could get up another blow was dealt to her head, sliding her across the floor.
Nothing was in her view, absolutely nothing. No hedgehog, no person, just a bunch of boxes and the darkness around her. As she got up to one knee, the wind began to blow around her, creating a massive tornado in the middle of the warehouse. Aqua saw her foe above her with the large Piko Hammer. She reached into her pocket and tossed out a bomb as the hedgehog came crashing down.
BLAM!
The impact created from the hammer and the bomb levelled the warehouse completely. Amy stood on some of the wreckage, looking over the sight for any sign of her foe. Just then, from behind her, the bomber erupted from the wreckage towards Amy.
shink
The sound made Amy turn around. Aqua was decapitated and dead on the spot. Confused and mortified, Amy saw a blur of black and purple dashing around the destroyed battlefield. Aqua had stepped out into the middle of this brawl and died because of it, and before Amy herself could move, she too was split in half by the unseen force.
The blur stopped in place, revealing itself to be Beman and Darkrai.
"I must say the collateral this time around would REALLY mess with this dream."
The entire world shook violently as everything was being erased. An exit portal opened far above in the sky and the two foes raced for it, attempting to push the other one away so that only they may survive. Bedman's sigil activated and the bedframe slammed the Pokemon towards the floor, leaving the assassin in the lead.
As a last ditch effort, the Pitch Black Pokemon opened a portal directly in front of Bedman and pulled it closer to itself, pulling the assassin into another dream. Darkrai itself was able to make it in time before the world was erased, letting it move on into the next dream.
The Meta vs Nemesis by LakuitaBro01.2[]
The Meta was pinned under his shield by the massive, gelatinous body of the Nemesis tyrant. It batted the shield with its mighty claws as it no-selled pistol shot after pistol shot directly into its gaping maw, leaving the Freelancer in a unwinnable situation. A situation which was about to get a whole hell of a lot worse as the DES shield he had surrounding him began to falter. His AI companion glitched heavily next to him as its distorted voice spoke.
"Your suit is low on power. You must go now."
The Meta dropped his sidearm back into its holster and booked it towards the exit to the hangar he was trapped in. Not one step out of the shield and he was immediately captured by the beast in an iron grip and brought up to eye level with the Tyrant.
The AIs gathered in unison around the head of The Meta as the nightmarish creature readied its other arm in a scooping mission. Just as it was about to do the deed and finish the mission, a hole bursting with dark energy gushed out its back, causing it to release an ear splitting roar.
The AIs all looked at one another and Meta.
"We'll say it for you: Oh, son of a bitch." they all echoed in unison.
The Meta was dropped to the floor, and immediately he ran right for the Red and Blue Teams who were currently still blockading the door. Meanwhile, the Nemesis thrashed around as more holes ripped open its body, leaving the beast to experience nothing short of intense pain. As its head waved around, the dark energy eventually shot out of its eyes as its entire body burst like a water balloon. Out of the mess came Darkrai and a very beat up looking Bedman who had just taken the full front of an onslaught from the Pitch Black Pokemon.
Bedman stuck a landing and bashed his foe over and over with his saws, drawing blood repeatedly. Darkrai dodged one blow and picked up the Brute Shot itself and began to parry all of Bedman's attacks. Meanwhile, down the hall, the Red and Blue teams were getting their shit pushed in as The Meta tore them apart one by one. Eventually ,after getting the upper hand on Tex, he drew his magnum and pointed it right at her.
Just as he was about to pull the tripped, a massive, grotesque claw reached over and grabbed The Meta, crushing him to death in its grasp. Nemesis had evolved once more into an even worse looking monster. Outside the hallway, the other arm of the Nemesis grabbed at Bedman, who dodged the attack but suffered the loss of one of his bedframe's joints.
"Enough of this you repugnant, disgusting, brainless abomination!" Bedman yelled as it disappeared with the snap of his fingers.
The dream began to shake as Darkrai threw its temporary weapon to the side and went on to the next dream, and its foe followed.
Richter Belmont vs Johnny Joestar by Arigarmy[]
Divine Bloodlines - Smash Ultimate
The two dream manipulators landed in a clearing, ready to end the fight as soon as they could. Bedman's frame threw its own head at Darkrai, nailing it in the chest as it teleported Bedman over. Saw after saw landed its mark on the Pokemon's body, leaving holes in its skin. Ignoring the blows, it retaliated by ripping open the ground underneath Bedman, trapping him on lower ground.
Darkrai chased the assassin with Double Team induced Dark Pulses, trapping him at every turn. Nothing in the forest moved except for the two fighters. The eeriness of the entire forest caught the attention of both fighters as they unknowingly approached the main attraction of this dream.
The distant echo of an "ORAORA" hardly caught the attention of the two enemies playing cat and mouse. Bedman briefly got distracted when the trees and wildlife suddenly sprung to life after being silent for so long, as if time itself was stopped.
"What in the-" he began, but stopped when he caused a collision with one Richter Belmont, taking his place as the energy from the Infinite Rotation surged towards him. Suddenly the dream assassin felt his entire body experience a pain like nothing before. Every pore of his body expanded, ripping open as blue lines of energy rotated around his body.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" he screamed in agony.
Darkrai hovered in place. glaring at its foe. The others stopped and looked in awe at what just happened. The bedframe crawled along the ground as if it itself was in agony, moving its way over to the Pokemon. As it walked past Richter, it rammed a buzzsaw across his stomach, spilling his guts. Then as it walked past Johnny, it smashed his head it with its other arm, breaking his neck.
The world began to fall apart as Bedman reached his foe and grabbed him, the effect of the Infinite Rotation tearing him apart.
"Into my dream... we go..."
Darkrai tried to pull away as its foe dragged him down through another portal, dragging it into his own dream world where he was the king.
In Bedman's Dream
One-Winged Devil - Therewolf Media
Upon entering, Darkrai saw for the first time what appeared to be a fully awake Bedman, who sat amused in a theatre chair, clapping his hands. The stage it stood upon was dimly lit, and behind the Pokemon an endless void sat in silence staring back at it.
"You're in my world now, Darkrai. My word is law and nothing can say otherwise. What I'm about to do to you now will be purely with pleasure."
No time was wasted. Darkrai was smashed, trampled, bisected and completely tortured, only staying alive by the thread of Bedman willing him to be so. It had to endure being eaten by the Nemesis, being blown up by Aqua Bomber, being slashed to ribbons by Sabrewulf, stabbed by Baldi, smooshed by Goodra, blasted by Sonic.exe, and getting stabbed by Krueger all at once.
"Everything you feel is what I've WISHED I could've done to you from the very moment you led me on a chase through the dreams of the innocent! You DESERVE all of this!"
As Darkrai recovered from the all-at-once onslaught from Bedman, Bedman hit him with a rendition of the Infinite Rotation. For the first time tonight, Darkrai roared in pain as its body contorted in agony, but its foe smiled in pure happiness as the creature was on the brink of giving up its life.
It looked up at him with a glare in his eyes in a last act of defiance. Bedman was overjoyed at the look, and decided it was time to end it.
"Once I erase you from this dream, you will cease to exist in real life. I did enjoy this little paly you just put on for me though so I promise this will be painless. Ta-ta!"
Bedman cackled as the stage went white. Darkrai's body was obscured by the brightest light it has ever seen. It was like the sun itself touched down upon the stage, but it sat there and stared. After a moment the light cleared. Bedman rubbed his eyes: the Pokemon was still there.
"WHAT?!"
Darkrai stood up, staring at its foe. It was completely healed. No damage was done to it. The assassin began to freak out as he tried again and again to erase Darkrai to no avail. Slowly the demon floated over to Bedman, who screamed in terror.
"There's no way! I'm the supreme deity in my own world! Get away from me!"
As the Pokemon got closer, he reached out to grab Bedman. And that's when the assassin did the unthinkable.
He woke up.
The Nightmare Ends - Bloodborne Remix
He sat up in his bed. The clocktower's chirping echoed around his head. To his right was Darkrai, who was watching him while he slept. It was all just a nightmare induced by the nightmarish Pokemon. Bedman laughed and turned to face his foe.
"That was well played. I suppose you won't let me fall back asleep?"
"No..."
"Well then, I have no other choice."
The entire world around the two turned white. The dream assassin brought about the Absolute World, covering the entire clock tower and the surrounding apartment buildings. All denizens were immediately destroyed upon contact with the sphere of energy. Bedman stared down his foe as it fell to a knee.
"Your powers will not work, Darkrai. We will go out together in a blaze of glory."
Bedman resigned to his fate and laid down, not trying to fall asleep again. Darkrai was not about to give up. It got back up to its feet and loomed above its adversary, who smiled at it.
"Any last words?" Bedman inquired smugly.
Raising one of its fists in the air, Darkrai's eyes glowed a bright red as energy surged within it, terrifying the now doomed assassin.
"PERISH!"
The fist came crashing down onto Bedman, cratering his skull. The Absolute World immediately dispersed as Darkrai fell over, smoke billowing off of it. It survived the fight, but it was going to take a while for it to heal.
KO!

Boomstick: Uh-huh. How did this happen?
Wiz: It's quite simple, actually. While both Darkrai and Bedman had immense control over the dream world with their abilities, only one of them was sort of doomed from the start, but we'll get to that after the raw numbers.
Boomstick: Bedman could contend with Jack-O and Sol and give Slayer a run for his money, but in the universal sense the stuff they've done barely scratched the surface! One Darkrai was able to, at the very least, take hits from a seriously pissed off Dialga and Palkia, and while it couldn't really harm either, it still restrained both of them at the same time for a decent amount of time.
Wiz: Both were about equal on speed as well with both reaching into immeasurable feats of speed. Both of their teleporting helped any sort of difference they may have had, and any portal hopping could keep the other in check.
Boomstick: The one clear difference between the two was the abilities to mess with dreams. Bedman is the clear victor in that regard, especially with his own dream world where he's an omnipotent being, but there was one slip up along the way where Darkrai pulls ahead.
Wiz: Due to Darkrai's ability Bad Dreams, anyone or anything that is asleep will experience night terrors so horrible that it will hurt them. Since Bedman is already asleep, he should realistically be affected by this ability. It was only time before the dream got so horrible it began to hurt him.
Boomstick: Or at the very least terrify him into waking up which would KILL him. "But guys!", I hear you asking, "why didn't the absolute World just kill Darkrai?" Well, considering how the Absolute World will erase you from existence, and Darkrai was able to take hits from Palkia and Dialga without being erased immediately should be enough to clue you in.
Wiz: Bedman may have had a better control over the dream world, but the strength and passive abilities of the Pitch Black Pokemon earned it the win.
Boomstick: Poor Bedman, his victory would've been absolute if not for the dent in his head.
Wiz: The winner is Darkrai.
