[It happened so suddenly, where the dream world was heralded by strange feathers falling from the sky last time, this was only darkness swallowing up the sleeping. It didn't feel like the force that was responsible last time, that much Maka was able to tell.
She is also able to tell that the dream she's in isn't her own...though, actually, it might be more accurate to say "nightmare." It's poorly lit and there's a smell like death, but ahead she sees two figures--one advancing towards the other. It takes a moment, but Maka recognizes the yellow coat and realizes, to her horror, it's Kaneki being beared down upon.
Maka doesn't think, she acts, she runs forward and skids between the two of them, raising up her fists and striking out with a left hook.
Once she does, the sign that she made a terrible mistake hits her.
The offender falls back, growls out a curse, then...something, some appendage emerges from him and lashes out to her.
Dodging would only have it hit Kaneki. Maka holds her ground and grabs onto the thing--]
Ah.
[It slices into her palms and stabs into her stomach, straight on through.
Hands bleeding and shaking, Maka raises them up to her mouth to keep the blood from spilling out there. It doesn't help, she chokes and coughs out the bitter liquid even as the appendage retracts and raises up again for a second strike--probably more fatal.
It's just a nightmare. Stay strong. Don't stand down. You won't die here.
Her thoughts repeat over and over, Maka squares her shoulders and stares up defiantly at the enemy.]
Combining 1 and 15 for great justice (warning for TG blood and stuff)

Get...get out of here, Ken, run.
