Bandy was walking down a hall with one hundred other kids, there were security guards with guns all around them. Bandy didn't know how he got here, all he knew was that one moment he was sleeping, and the next he woke up in a new place and adults were walking them down a hall.

Soon, all one hundred kids reached a huge open space, two hundred meters in diameter, with a metal dome as the ceiling. There was a giant blue crystal twenty meters tall in the middle of the space, around it was a shallow lake filled with blue water. The children's stared at the crystal in amazement, they felt some sort of connection to the crystal.

Jay looked at the crystal in surprise, he was surprised that there was an energy source almost like mana and Ki. Perhaps this was the special thing he saw.

Jay thought to himself, “What an interesting energy source. An energy source that caters to the user's deepest wishes. Is this the only country or organization that knows about this energy source, or are there more? If there is more, then there is most likely fighting. Hmmmm, it seems these kids have the mentality to use this energy source, interesting, I wonder what they'll get. I wonder if I can also use this energy source. Perhaps I'll make a new me to....”

Jay thoughts went on and on. Far from the kids were many old scientist in lab coats. They looked at the kids with happiness and suspicion. They came up to the kids and the kids turned towards them. An old scientist with a beard smiled at the kids.

“Welcome, I know all of you are afraid, but I promise you, we are good people.”

None of the kids trusted his words, he was a stranger, and strangers meant people that liked stabbing them. There's also the fact that there were people with guns around them. The kids may not have a lot of knowledge, but they knew what a gun was and that it was a threat.

The old scientist who was named Epline looked at the kids and sighed, he didn't get the reaction he wanted, it seems he might have to use violence. Jay saw this and used Bandy's little energy to send a message into the kid's head. The message was simple, act and cry to gain their sympathy.

After processing the message, many kids fell to the ground and started crying. Some said thank you, some cried, and some hugged each other with happiness.

Epline didn't expect this but he became happy. Another message was sent by Jay. The message was to caters to the adults every wish so that they would have favorable impression of you. The kids processed the information and obeyed.

“Now then everyone, well be giving you new names,” Epline said with a smile.

Jay sent an unconscious thought towards Epline so he would have a favorable impression of Bandy. Epline looked at Bandy with a favorable impression and pointed his finger at him.

“You there,” Epline said.

“Me?”, Bandy asked fearfully.

“Yes you, from now on you will be known as subject zero. Tell me, is that not a cool name?”

Bandy put on a smile, “Yes it is sir,” he said with a smile.

Epline impression of him increased, it seemed him trying to fit in with this new generation was working. Epline then looked at the other kids and proceeded to give them names. Many kids took their name one by one with a smile, some didn't because Jay told them not to, or things will get suspicious.

After he was finished naming everyone, Epline looked at his work happily, these kids would one day be the strength of the country.

“Whos hungry everyone?”, Epline said with a smile.

“Me, me, me,” many kids said with smiles.

Epline nodded happily, “Lets go to the cafeteria and eat some pizza.”

The kids followed one by one and reached a huge open cafeteria with tables, chairs, and kitchen staff ready to serve food. Hungrily, every kids grabbed the food they wanted and started eating. Epline watched everyone eat with a smile.

Another scientist in lab coat came up to his side and spoke, “It’s ready sir.”

Epline nodded and left the kitchen with the scientist. As the kids ate, a wave of energy that couldn't be felt by them moved through the cafeteria.

“An Energy wave that makes people trust and obey you more,” Jay thought to himself, “Very effective on children.”

Jay didn't do anything to remove the energy waves on the kids, the scientists might have a detector to detect whether the energy wave was still on the kids or not. After the kids finished their meals, Epline came back in with a smile and guided them to their dorms.

Many kids were tired and they started sleeping, Epline left them on their own. Bandy went inside his dorm and fell asleep on the bed. That night, he slept peacefully. In his dreams, Bandy heard the voice again.

“I’ve connected you with others, have fun imagining what you want everyone.”

He not only heard the voice, but he also saw the kids around him also heard the voice. Jay had connected Bandy with other kids since he wanted to see what they would do inside their own dreams.

A kids started imagining their parents and their parents showed up in front of them. They cried immediately and hugged their parents. Their parents caressed them and whispered sweet word back to them. The other kids saw this and knew it was a dream, but they accepted it easily, their views of the world had not set in stone and they were still accepting new things.

Some kids imagined dinosaurs and rode of them while laughing. A kids turned himself into a dragon and breathed fire onto the scientists he saw. A young girl conjured the image of her superhero and her superhero saved her. A kid turned invisible and hid away from the scientist. A kid flew up into the sky while smiling and the scientist couldn't catch up to him.

Jay watched the wonders of kids being kids, he looked towards a kid and saw them turn into a grim reaper, the kid started attacking scientist. Jay then looked at Bandy, but Bandy did nothing.

“Why aren't you imagining anything?”

“I don't know what to imagine,” Bandy replied quietly.

“What do you wish for then?”

Bandy thought for a moment and looked at the smiling kids who suffered getting stab along with him. He softly answered, “I wish for a world just like this, a place where every kid can be happy.”

“Thats a sweet dream, do you think you can make it come true?”

Bandy shook his head and felt sad. Jay looked at him calmly but Bandy couldn't see him.

“What if I told you there was a way to make your dream come true?”

Bandy eyes widened, “Is that possible?”, he asked.

“It is,” Jay replied, “that blue crystal can make your dream come true.”

Bandy became more shocked, he then became hopeful and happy. “Is it a wishing stone?”, Bandy asked.

“I guess you can call it that,” Jay said with a smile, “Now go have some fun with the other kids.”

Bandy nodded and went off to have fun. The other kids accepted him with open arms and they started imagining fun things together, fun things like taking revenge on the people who stabbed them.

“Is it sane or insane to wish harm on others who harmed you,” Jay wondered to himself. For Jay, it was never about sane or insane, as long as he was happy, he was fine. “Lets see what happens, meeting my sister can wait.”

Outside the dream network, in a communication room, Epline was talking to a high political figure on a screen.

“How is the project going?”

“Very well sir,” Epline replied.

“Good, once this project is finished, those Naklon will never see what hit them.”

“Indeed, sir,” Epline agreed with a smile.

The screen went off and Epline connected with another person. The face of the person couldn't be seen, but if a native of the country Epline was in heard the voice, they would be able to tell it was a Naklon. Epline was a double agent who had been raised in the enemy country.

“Are you finished?”

“Yes sir,” Epline answered.

“Good, make sure it stay smoothly.”

“I will, sir,” Epline replied.

The communication cut off and the person Epline was talking to gave out orders. From the seas, twenty Ocean Floater started moving. The Ocean Floaters carried hundreds of Zighters on their back. From the sky, a warship flew above.
