dream

training facility for people with powers, my team is one little robotic dude? with shield powers? and giant missiles that do something weird on detonation?, and one big bulky stone-ish guy with powers I don't remember
my model/voice looks like Lilac (FP), my power is to generate and channel energy into things, and to copy powers (Boki?)
everyone can fire energy at things with an arm cannon (a la Mario+Rabbids)
at one point during power demonstration fair, I offer to power something and push myself WAY beyond previous limits, generating obscene amounts of power and powering entire facility with this super-massive pink energy beam (normal is blue), but totally drain myself in all of 15 seconds, and quite painful
as training goes on and our powers develop into more potent and, things start not adding up with what we're being trained for
rumors floating around that we're trained as weapons for war
pushed by teacher to push myself far harder than I had been, to the point of hurting myself
find tech that seems to be made to duplicate the students' abilities as weapons
new teammate, can fire energy in triple shot a la assault rifle and create turrets that fire on nearby things
find info detailing the colors of our equipment being used as classifications for our powers and strength level, I'm blue & pink (Lv1 and Lv2)
suddenly get sent into training environment that seems suspiciously like city in structure (looks digital), find team
we explore, get into a couple of scraps, but at a port-like area, we're met by some lady that says "weapons are prohibited in this area"
I put weapon away but before I can ask what's going on, pulled out
flung into fight with allies, disguised as digital environment, allies disguised as polygon enemies; work together with robotic teammate, we recognized each other
try to reason with allies, but no use
Bowser happens at some point, extremely dangerous, I and friend fight him
at some point I end up trying to cast Reflect without having a source of Reflect to copy as a last ditch effort, it works
Bowser seems to be a nonsequitur mostly? I can't figure out how he fit into everything
me and friend realize we're at the actual training facility when we see the briefling/VR training room as polygons, but it's in the thick of a city
things start getting glitchy as forced to fight more; me and friend continue to refuse to fight allies
something happens, suddenly on a beach near training facility, old film filter over everything, sounds muffled like old film
see friend I was with, rush over to him, we basically pouncehug each other, "I thought I'd never see you again"
some woman, I think one of the teachers, speaks, something like "It's time to go" or "It will be done soon" or... something
everything starts to fade out, find myself floating over some kind of digital-looking galaxy alone, all blue and cubes and such, reminds me of PS2 startup a bit
credits music starts fucking playing
realize I'm dreaming, I force myself to wake up and write this journal before too many details fade from memory
there are more details regarding the "things don't add up" part and the "color classifications" part, but I can't quite grasp them
