Dreamscape

This was a non-canon fic written by TheIkranRider that took place around Season 2. After stopping a monster named Albedo thanks to cauterization, a technique with Hercules against the Hydra, the Witnesses and Gavin headed back to the cabin. They noticed someone intruded it and they were ambushed by banshees. Each one was assimilated by them and eventually blackened out.

The first to come to was Gavin. He heard a sound from a familiar source, the flute to the Pied Piper. Through the desolate, lifeless woods, he was ambushed by Abbie who was under his thrall. At a sudden effort, she accidentally shot the Piper in point blank range, disabling his control. Eventually she woke up and Gavin said they're trapped in an alternate dimension powered by their own nightmares. In other words, if they die in the Dreamscape, they die for real. They believed it was Moloch who planned this to eliminate his adversaries using their own subconscious fears.
They later met up with Ichabod who was fighting the Redcoats as well as the masked Hessian. Before he was able to slay him, though, Gavin caught him off guard and made his demise, along with the soldiers. Crane knew it was an illusion, and he agreed with their conclusion. He said in order to end the dream they must find the source. And that happened to be in a boiling lake of blood.
It started to violently whirl and a monstrous arm with decaying flesh emerged. It was later revealed to be a monster only Gavin recognized...which caused him to faint. The horror incapacitated Abbie, and Ichabod persuaded to swallow him, so he'd venture its insides. He escaped from its massive stomach before the walls crushed him. He went to its heart and slashed it apart using the Purgatory Sword. Its body exploded, and everything went blank.
The three woke up one by one back inside the cabin, as if nothing's happened. The Witnesses were curious as to what the monster was at the end. Gavin showed them it was the Brood Mother, a horror he knew from a YouTube collab describing the 15 Disturbing Bosses from Non-Horror Games, which happened to be #1. He summarized the Brood Mother which they claimed it stayed and scarred his psyche in a way for Moloch to destroy him and the Witnesses. Luckily, he was unsuccessful, then Gavin felt a sudden warmth at the back of his hand...
(SPOILERS: This was a foreshadowing to a missing episode, "The 7 Sacred Virtues.")
== Trivia ==
* This is a non-canon oneshot and Ikran's first attempt on doing a creepypasta. Although she thought of this since mid-Season 2; this can take place before the mid-season finale, Magnum Opus.
* Gavin's nightmare of the Brood Mother was a rough inspiration from a collab on YouTube from Joshscorcher and Alex Rochon, Top 15 Disturbing Bosses from Non-Horror Games. Even though Ikran never played Dragon Age: Origins and she despised the list.
* This was also inspired by a vague dream Ikran had with an array of skulls and having a blood pool boiling as the heart of the dream itself, around the Halloween season back in 2014.
