Toby is battling the butter ant colony with his incredible strength, blinding speed, and pure ferocity. Multiple Drones try to blast him with their venom, but the young dreamer is moving too fast, avoiding the acidic substance and leaping high into the air, taking them down with a newly summoned dream sword.
The golden Butter Ant Queen stands in motionless silence, watching with her compound eyes as Toby blitzes through the colony, decimating scores of the butter ants.
In the real world an ant queen would leave the job of defending the colony to her children. But this isn't the real world, this is the dream world, and it plays by very different rules.
The Butter Ant Queen flies towards the young dreamer at top speed, surprising him with how fast she actually is. Toby doesn't have a shield with him in that moment, so the Queen stabs into his stomach with her golden stinger, driving and slamming him into a wall.
The young dreamer sreams in terrible pain, struggling to pull out the stinger in his gut. But the Queen continues to push forward, keeping Toby pinned to the wall.

The mild relief from the pain only lasts a few seconds, the stinger still buried deep in his gut. The young dreamer desperately attempts to pull out the stinger once again, but fails yet again.
That's when it happens, that's when he feels something hot flowing into his stomach, and the pain that follows is horrific and maddening. Toby screams, the likes of which he has never screamed before, his insides just being liquefied.

The Queen is still pumping the young dreamer's insides with her venom, to her his attempt to heal only delays his inevitable demise. Toby begins to cough up a ton of blood, his red eyes becoming fainter with each passing moment.
Toby Robinson: You think you've got what it takes to take me down?! Hah, don't make me laugh insect! Can't you understand that I'm the main character?! I will always... WIN!!!!!!!! (Toby yells as he cuts loose, letting the power of terror to fully take control of his mind and body, amplifying his physical strength tenfold)

Toby Robinson: Maybe what you need is a demonstration of my awesome power! You might want to stay for this one. (Toby smiles as he grabs onto the stinger with both hands, keeping the Queen before his gaze as his red eyes begin to power up)... Dream... Beam!!! (Toby bellows, blasting the Queen in the face with the terror charged beams of energy)

The Queen is momentarily stunned by the blast, but also hasn't taken much damage from the attack. Her exoskeleton now much harder to break through.

With every second that passes Toby steals more and more dream energy from the Ant Queen, and although she's still injecting him with her venom, the young dreamer has all the points he needs to recover. This is now a war of attrition, who will fall first. The High Grade, or The Dreamer?

The Queen begins to sway left and right, her body starting to notice the effects of the dream steal skill. She tries to pull away, but the young dreamer doesn't let her go, his hands clutching her stinger with all of his royal strength.
Toby Robinson: Where do you think you're going, Huh?! Party's just getting good! (Toby smiles menacing, sensing his victory close at hand)... Heal!!! (Toby yells again, healing himself once again)

At this point pain means nothing to Toby anymore, he has been enduring this venom so much that he's now numb to it. All he has to do is heal and he can just keep going.
Realizing the danger she's in, the Queen releases her pheromones once again, commanding her butter ants to come to her aid, finally allowed to assist. But the young dreamer is far from being defenseless.
Toby Robinson: Release... Prince Charming, Browny and Noble! (Toby yells, quickly releasing his dream beings from his hold)
Prince Charming: My Lord! (Charming gasps, shocked to see Toby in such a precarious position)
Toby Robinson: No time... stop those guys from reaching me! I'm about to take down the queen! (Toby tells them sharply, leaving no room for questions)
Prince Charming: Right! (Charming nods before quickly jumping into battle with the butter ants, backed by Noble and Browny)
Even with all this chaos, the young dreamer is able to notice the sudden stop in the flow of venom, which can only mean the Queen has run out. Which also means Toby doesn't have to heal anymore, and can just focus on attacking.
Toby Robinson: I told you this was going to happen... I WIN! (Toby grins as his eyes burn red with terror energy, ready to finish this fight once and for all)
[Majestic Speed Deactivated]
Toby Robinson: Dream Beam! (Toby yells, blasting into the Queen with his red dream beams, still holding onto her stinger with his royal strength)

[Dream Bank: 1029 Dream Points]
[Royal Strength Deactivated]
With the Royal Srength skill now gone, the young dreamer can now feel his grip on the Queen slipping, she's successfully pulling away from his grasp. If the Queen manages to escape, then it Toby and his dream beings will definitely lose this fight.
Toby Robinson: Its only a matter of time before I lose the terror charge, once that happens my dream beams will become weaker, and we're done. Before that happens, I need to do something! (Toby thinks as the dream beams continue to blast from his eyes, the Queen's armour still managing to stay intact)... Dream Beam! (Toby yells out in desperation, trying to see if he can double the power of his beams this way)
Toby has never tried this before, but to his surprise it actually works out, even better than he'd hoped. He can multiply the power of his dream beams by using them multiple times in quick succession.
The still firing dream beams have intensified in power, blasting harder into the Queen of the Butter Ants.
Toby Robinson: Dream Beam! (Toby yells a third time, tripling the power of his beams)... Dream Beam! (Toby yells a fourth time, quadrupling the power of his beams, now actually doing some damage to the Queen)... Dream Beam!!! (Toby yells with all his might, using the awesome power of the terror beams to blast the Queen into and straight through the walls of the anthill)
[Terror Charge Deactivated]
The beams lose their red glow almost instantly, turning blue as the power of terror energy leaves his body. The dream beams then run out of energy, leaving the young dreamer exhausted in more ways than one.

Toby's vision has become blurry, and he can no longer remain on his feet, lifelessly falling to the ground. Charming and the others begin to rush towards him, but he loses consciousness before they can reach him.
