A book thunks into Howard, and the dream violently shifts. The library is no more - in fact, it almost looks like a blurring in the boundaries between their dreams - as Howard shouts out! ...

... But, sleep endures, and stubbornly so. It seems only a few of them manage to slip out of the dream - even as chaos rages on both within and without the dream world. They are left wondering about the man who had showed up - clearly from Lulu Flint 's part of the dreams - and what 'Chimera' is meant to mean... But with the two gone, they doubted the others would have much more of a clue than they did.

howard slayte schemes with Naomi Sato , and they briefly glance to him to see what plans he might have. However, they're doing thinking of their own.

They aren't sure where Shred is. They aren't all that sure where oscar clayton is, either. The two of them could have awoken for all Makoto knew, really. But, they can't help but shake their focus off of the fact that Shred's Meltan is here. His pokemon - they supposed that even the pokemon are probably having their own dreams, but then...

... Perhaps, there was something they could try, to wake everyone up from within the dream...?

They breathe in deeply, as they focus. If this was a world of dreams, of the mind - and if it's being affected by the dream mist, which is where it began to blend with reality - then perhaps... ... Erebus.

Nothing happens. But Makoto once more tries, focusing their mind. Erebus..!

Perhaps Makoto had managed something themself - or perhaps it's the Deoxys' psychic sensitivities, with it often paying attention to any thoughts they wished to direct towards it. Either way, they can feel it when Erebus has noticed them, and makes itself known - they can feel the natural Pressure it gives off as the alien almost seems to phase into the dream, hovering above the group.

Something is happening out there. The alien observes, its thoughts (even if less words and more feelings and concepts) pulsing outwards to those present, as it listens to the chaotic noises that seem to rage on beyond the veil that separates dreams from reality.

Makoto nods. "We need to wake up. Now." They speak - casting a quick glance to Howard and Naomi both, to make sure the two are prepared. "Can you wake us up, Erebus?" If anyone had dominion over sleep and dreams, even from within said dreams, surely it'd be a powerful Psychic-type like itself...

Erebus dips its head in acknowledgement. I will try.

Its core glows with psychic energy - and it reaches outwards, for the minds that compose this dreaming realm. For it is from one's mind that dreams spring forth, is it not? It is a delicate process for certain, to awaken everyone that it can without causing harm; but all it ultimately had to do was give them the proper jolt--

-- Makoto gasps sharply, as they shoot up from their bed - greeted by flares of red alarm lights and the blaring of sirens. They feel groggy, disoriented, confused for a moment... But they see, as Erebus is hovering over the beds, gazing down to them, watching as the last of the crew begin to stir and awaken.

The duo's gazes meet, and Makoto is immediately swinging themself out of bed, grabbing for their pokeballs. "It-... It sounds like it's coming from deeper within the ship... Do you know where the others are?"

I believe so. Erebus responds, drifting down to their side. It feels the pulses of other minds, it feels the hostility and desperation and feelings of adrenaline.

"Bring us there." They speak - preemptively readying a pokeball. They weren't sure what to expect, but it certainly wasn't good.

It is a simple matter, for Erebus to grasp the trio in psychic energy - and much as Makoto directs, it Teleports them as close to the source of the chaos as safely possible. As close to the cargo bay as possible - where the others are fighting.

As soon as Makoto has their bearings, they send out Midori - their Iron Leaves. They need not speak for it to know what they desire of it - and it is quick to charge into combat, a Psyblade at the ready for the first hostile it sees..!

TLDR/NOTES: Deoxys helps the remaining dreamers wake up, and Teleports Makoto, howard slayte and Naomi Sato as close to the cargo bay fighting as safely possible. Makoto sends out Iron Leaves upon gaining their bearings, who readies a Psyblade for the first hostile it sees. (Slither Wing?)
