Ok, this was one of the most absurd dreams ever!
The Bulette SimulatorA Sensei (my host?) was training me to fight a bulette!
The bulette was a simulator, a robot like a flight simulator pod. Looked much like a elephant from below. All I saw was gray column-like legs. And the massive snout came down from above if I was not careful. The robot could not lift its legs and walk, just rock into all dimensions - like a flight simulator.
But here comes the best part: The bulette also had massive balls and as I was underneath it, they were mostly in front of my face. Luckily, while the legs and snout looked very realistic, the balls were simulated by a car tire on a chain. Including steel rim for extra weight.


So imagine this!
I'm underneath a gray elephant size bulette simulator that rocks in all directions with great force while I try to strike it (didn't have a spear). I either got body-checked by the legs, hit by the snout that was out of my view from above/behind, or struck in the face by the swinging car tire balls.
Because Alice is a good CQB fighter, I managed quite well after a while, hitting the bulette in the balls before it could hit me. Sensei (I never could really see him but at the edge of my vision) said he had taught me everything and that was it - for the easy part!
I was confused, thinking I had finished my training, but he said in my current shape I only had a 1:1 chance of winning in a real life situation. Which was fair I guess...
Now I was granted my normal Living Metal form and for a test manifested the branching spines from my left arm. Yes, this was going to be fun! I got ready - and woke up. It had started raining, maybe that was the cause...
