A dystopia-adventure, drawn from varied media/comics. Thanks so much for reading (Happy Weekend),

Amlan and Ajay had become pronounced twins of cyber-cult appeal, with their wizardry for cyber-tourneys and games/play for mod-Earthling interest but were unaware of their path of fate that drew them to a special 'labyrinth' of their American Homeland city, half-reality and half-cooked by the paranoia of apocalypse-thinking for surfaced villains of darkness requiring acumen of great hand-eye coordination, acrobatics, and reflex. Their video-game high skill would not go in vain, therefore; and the twins/brothers (Amlan/Ajay) would have never anticipated this immersion in a 'religious' game of death (Selfie-like).



You see, it happened quite logistically, the immersion of the protagonist 'prince-heroes of Earth dominion' for this adventure of the paranoia-variety. They'd been experimenting with alternative forms for play for varied dystopian-apocalypse oriented video-game 'universes' for online tourneys and envisioning the 'mind' of their opponent(s) that cast such darkness for heroics or resilience or flexibility intuitions and therefore (together!) shared a dream-scape dream-sleep plunge into one of these stark adventure-horror strength domains of fighting and evasion involving contention with very bad villains silhouetted (somehow!) by the characterizations re-presented in mod video-game screens (Facebook-like!).



LIZ: I'll be your tour-lady, guide of sorts...this ain't just the River Styx, pals.
AMLAN/AJAY: Wow, this seems like we feel we're sharing dream as twins, lady!
LIZ: You guessed it right for now and don't dare to think to wake pre-closures.
AMLAN/AJAY: We're to go along in some sequence-labyrinth to find villains, IQ?
LIZ: You guessed it right, pals...be wary for this is stark Realism (vampirism).
AMLAN/AJAY: This is just some vampire allusion adventure sequence, Liz?
LIZ: You guessed it half-right; for these challengers are of dark immortality.
AMLAN/AJAY: Then, we can't win (right?).
LIZ: There's a way to find closure for your humble-brain; seek linearity/jars.
AMLAN/AJAY: If we fail, Liz?
LIZ: Then you just maybe wake to find this dark reality is your actual world!
AMLAN/AJAY: Damn (Facebook-like).



Amlan and Ajay were therefore guided by their 'dark-waters' city tour guide woman (Liz) and found the right-stuff cues or clues to make-way to the lairs and covens of the very-villains they were told they'd have to find to find the wit(s) to find escape or conquest for the salvation of Earth world innocence/purity (wow). The city seemed like the one they knew, but it was darker and more neon at-once. Amlan/Ajay were told the villains of master class would number in 3; and to get to them, they'd have to sift through wanderers and minions in their way, to resist temptations or bloody-murder (Selfie-like). Would they succeed (for the Ego)?



Their first 'success' encounter was with Villain-1, a city weaponized Asian ninja doll from Hell who called herself the Night Slasher, but she slashed with both guns and bullets aimed at the ears of mortal humans. Was she a vampire? That's what Ajay thought; but Amlan insisted the brothers (simply) treat her like a hurdle to Heaven. To win this round, the twins would have to create a ring of running, a circle perimeter around the Night Slasher on-foot to mock her deliberate intentionality of simply aiming and striking at them simultaneously. This really pissed her off (ha).



LIZ: You did well...and Night Slasher dropped her gun(s) and writhed-away, ha.
AMLAN/AJAY: What next?
LIZ: You'll have to scale up an abandoned building, stairs, and deal with evil.
AMLAN/AJAY: Minions guarding the entrance to the 2nd villain, Liz?
LIZ: That's right, and to subdue the vanity of this one, you need utter control!
AMLAN/AJAY: What does this villain seek, in this Hell-city, good guide?
LIZ: He wants to drive you into a frenzy by convincing you you're separate.
AMLAN/AJAY: We're twins/brothers!
LIZ: That's your shield, and hopefully for your wake-world, your IQ hope, pals.
AMLAN/AJAY: What's this 2nd one call itself/himself, Liz?
LIZ: White (as in making one pale-white with uneasiness or fears), ok?
AMLAN/AJAY: Good luck (to us).



Amlan and Ajay faced White by fending off the 'guardians' of that darkened building Liz took them to in this dark dream-adventure of the hellmouth(s) variety (wow). When they got to his 'apartment' at the top-level, they remembered their experiences with dealing with noir apocalypto video-game super villains and using reflex and wit(s) to outmatch them. While insisted the twins were not sufficiently bonded or equal or trusting of each other and offered each of them a pot of gold if one of them bloody-murdered the other. At first, they thought the offer stupid, but White explained, "This pot of gold is proof for your wake-world this nightmarish omen universe is real, fool(s)." Amlan/Ajay had to collect all their self-control and used the crossbow gifted by Liz to direct/synchronize an aimed strike and each hit one of the legs of White before waking to find a policeman knocking at their real-world apartment door (hmmm).



COP: Sirs, I was told this abandoned orphan could be cared for by you gents.
AMLAN/AJAY: Who told you this, officer (wow)?
COP: A lady of the Church in the city ('Liz' was her name I think?).
AMLAN/AJAY: Orphan, officer you say!
COP: The woman informed us you'd the fortune to become adoptive parents.
AMLAN/AJAY: No other message, sir?
COP: The woman said, "This is a special message about future religion for all."
AMLAN/AJAY: Oh, yes...we know Liz...this is the place...good future omen.
COP: Good (Selfie-like).
