I was gonna wait for a few chapters before yeeting them in but oh well
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two men wasn't especially tall, in fact, they were pretty short. But they were scary looking, like real scary looking, especially in the almost pitch black environment where they couldn't see shit. They almost looked like the two men he saw yesterday.
But this time, it was different, instead of two barb wired sticks from aunt Summers, they were equiped with what seems like, a rifle. Instead of retail store sand goggles, they had gas masks, with some uneasily menacing laser dotted sights, starring down at the two boys.
His screeching friend beside him fell into silence, and it wasn't because the pain was going away.
He passed out, for reasons unknown.
Lucas tried to keep his calm, but everything spoiled when one of the men decided to point his gun at Ness, who is now asleep on the ground with half a leg stuck in a trap.
"Reach for the skies, or your friend will pay a one trip visit to the afterlife." One of the men ordered in a terrifying deep voice. "Don't move an inch now."
Lucas didn't know what to do, if he defended himself, his friend would get shot. He did just as the man ordered, he felt pathetic again, an awful feeling.
He watched as they stripped Ness' backpack off of him and violently ripped it open, he couldn't do anything, this definitely wasn't optimal for his friend.
Suddenly, something from the depth of his mind triggered, his mind detected a voice coming from deep inside his head.
"Lucas!"
It was Ness' voice.
"I'm talking to you via telepathy."
"Why ain't you attacking them."
"Lucas!"
As much as he wanted to respond, he was unable due to his lack of knowledge in the field of telepathy. He stood as Ness' voice became harder and harder to hear, before it is completely silent.
He was alone on this one.
"Hey! Is this all the shit you got, three empty cans and a dildo?"
"That's a water bottle...We don't have much supplies neither. You should probably move on with us..."
"Dang."
"Sorry..."
...
The shorter man took his aim off Ness, and then reunited his eyes with the other man. "This sure was a disappointing trip." Whispered the slightly taller masked man.
"Sure is." Replied the other. "Knew we shouldn't have came out here this late, always the best ideas from you, twat. We didn't need to skip dinner for this...I'm actually hungry n-"
"Ok...ok Vill, lets dip, just imagined if this never happened."
"Never happened!?"
The voices were deep and cold, but something wasn't right, the attitude of the two men just didn't fit their unnatural voice. Maybe he was right, or maybe he is just going mentally insane from stress.
Its almost like they were using a v-
Expectedly, the two men stood up, and started to walk away. Lucas stood there, silently. He didn't know what to do. Ness was still unconscious with his legs barely intact. He needed to help him, but he didn't know how. Lucas held up his finger and pressed it deep within Ness' chest, shiny green circles popped up left and right, but nothing happened to Ness, who still laid on the ground.
Strangely, the two men in masks stopped, as if they just read Lucas' mind, stood still for about a dozen seconds, and turned back around. They walked towards Lucas, who was incredibly surprised.
"You guys are pretty brave to be out here alone." Said the taller man. "How old are you?"
...
"Why do I need to tell you that?"
Lucas felt a bit of taunt coming from them, were they playing with him? Just to pour the salt on the wounds. Or, did they come back to help him.
"You look hungry, when is the last time you ate?"
"The last time I ate? Yesterday."
"You must be starving."
"Not really...Also, can you pretty please help my friend, you guys seem to be great people, surely you guys can maybe, get my friend out of the trap?"
"Seem?" The taller man asked.
"Well, we could if you come with us." Said the shorter man. "Don't really have the tools to do it here hmm?"
"I'm not too sure about that...I d-don't really know who you are."
...
"Look, we can be friends, not creepy, at all...Man this situation is horrible for us. You don't have to be scared, we are good people, kinda ironic"
Lucas wasn't exactly scared, he had powers after all. He was simply skeptical at the sudden change of attitude.
"You guys are seem...nice, I will come, as long as you can help my friend. But...can I see what is under the mask? I'm just curious, this won't change anything."
The two men stood still, thinking wether they should do what the young boy was telling them to do, revealing their identities. They knew quite well that Lucas still did not trust them at all.
"This?" The taller pointed at his mask. "Alright, if this will gain your trust..."
"This is a horrible idea." The Shorter one murmured.
The taller man loosened the strap of his mask, and the shorter one followed. both of their masks dropped down to their necks, now revealing their face, and oh it wasn't what Lucas was expecting.
Originally, Lucas thought that he would be greeted with the face of two middle aged cave trolls, but it was not even close. In the end, he felt more awkward than actually being scared.
"So uh yeah, now that's out of the way, do you trust us now?" The shorter "man" asked nervously, something that he just didn't expect to ever see from someone as menacing looking as him. The voice from before was gone, and now replaced with a much higher and younger voice.
He was greeted with the faces of two...schoolchildren? (give or take) The taller one with golden blond hair and the shorter one with light brown hair. Both of them own a pair of solid black eyes, which is half creepy yet half funny looking. The two sharply contrasted each other.
"Didn't weird you out too much right?" The taller boy asked.
