Epic Battle

There are war elephants, the kind from Lord of the Rings, and there's a huge battle gearing up. Suddenly the side I'm on is entrenching behind a wall, with boulders and stuff protecting us. A bunch of coworkers are with me. The enemy, which outnumbers and outguns us, is pouring into position in their own area opposite us. It's like we are facing eachother behind two balcony walls in an outdoor mall area, but on a vast scale. As we entrench, there's one guy on our side who's panicky, and he's whining and scared and stuff.

Then they attack, they start lobbing huge flaming fireballs using a trebuchet. We watch as one flies towards us, right where we're hiding. It slams into the wall with terrific force, and I feel a tremendous shock as the whole fortress shakes, and I'm holding on to the wall trying to keep it together. Then we're almost neck deep in water for some reason. Maybe the panicky guy wet his pants, we're not sure, but he doesn't want us to get rid of the water because it's comforting to him. I don't listen to him, and open a crack in the wall and the water rushes out. Then more flireballs are launched by more trebuchets.

Now, suddenly I'm discussing an archeological find I'd made. I discovered the hadrosaur, and wanted to give the honor of discovering it to the panicky guy because it might boost his confidence. But someone, some being or entity who's in charge of such things, informs me that that's not right since the panicky guy didn't deserve credit for discovering the hadrosaur. The being, for some reason I think it was female, said that for truth and justice's sake, I should give her the credit instead because it's only right, so I did. As I walked away I thought of how odd it was that in order to maintain truth and justice I had to give her credit instead of the panicky guy, when neither one really discovered the hadrosaur.

Then I try and get back into the battle, I open the elevator and see my wall I was hiding behind, but how to get to it without getting shot. Someone I know from TPF was there, trying to give me instructions. As I peak around the doorway, an enemy combatant draws a bead on me and fires. I duck back in just in time, and I think about how I'm pretty invincible, as if I know that in my dreams I'm some sort of super soldier or something. I go to the next level down, and am ready to make a dive for it to get behind the wall again. Then I notice that in the courtyard below, a lot of people are milling around, like there's not a battle going on. Then I realize with horror that some of the people milling around are the enemy soldiers!

Suddenly, Allen Powell is there and he's on the enemy's side, and as he sees me a look of shock comes over his face. He informs me that if anyone sees me they'll shoot me on sight. He takes me over to a table where I'm hiding my face, and informs me that the battle is over, and that it was a massacre, and that most of my side were killed in the attacks, but many, many more were killed outright after the enemy had breached the fortress and were walking among them with impunity, just stabbing and slaughtering everyone. Allen shudders as he talks about all the arms and legs and heads laying around in a big pile. I wonder at it all, and how inconceivable it is that my side should have lost and all my friends are dead.
