The two boys slammed their swords together. When they did the swords made a sharp and loud ring. One of the boys is named Lucas. He was rather scrawny. But where he lacks in bulk he excels in his speed. His blond hair is sticking out in every direction. Lucas's eyes are also always filled with the will to succeed. This will, allows him to get through all the tough times he's been through. The other boy is named Ness. He is the stronger of the two. His black hair was almost always covered in a cap. Unlike Lucas, Ness has been in many fights in the past. One of which caused a large scar to form over his left eye, causing that eye to white out. Lucas has only been in one fight before, with that fight not ending well for him. Their swords looked similar, but the color was different. Lucas's sword was pitch black and Ness's was dark red.
Due to the momentum of their swords slamming into each other the boys fell forward but stopped each other from running into each other. Ness tried to slash Lucas from the right, but Lucas was able to backflip into the air. He landed onto the ground and didn't hesitate to run toward Ness. Ness jumped, which Lucas predicted. Lucas continued to run and got to the rocky wall. He jumped and kicked off the wall. He was able to shoot and slam his head into Ness's back. Ness shot forward but stabbed the flat ground with his sword to stop. He ripped it out and turned to Lucas.
Ness ran forward and Lucas prepared to strike, but Ness teleported. Ness teleported above him and slammed his foot into the back of Lucas's head. Lucas stumbled forward and smirked. He tapped the ground with his foot and the ground instantly got covered in ice. When Ness tried to land he slipped. Lucas turned and slammed his foot into Ness's stomach. Lucas picked him up. Ness forced a smirk. "That's all...all you got," Ness coughed. Lucas chuckled and tossed him into the air. Lucas tried to kick his gut, but Ness covered his body in electricity so Lucas got slightly electrocuted. Ness fell to the ground and still couldn't get his feet firmly planted. He put his hand on the ice and shot fire from his palm. This caused all the ice to melt and even the water that formed to evaporate.
Lucas held up his sword and the blade got covered in electricity. Ness gave a single, small, and smug chuckle. He held up his sword and it got covered in odd green energy. They ran toward each other and slammed their swords into the other. Ness was able to sweep Lucas's legs and he fell. The back of his head slammed onto the ground and he let go of his sword. Ness stomped on his stomach and held the sword at Lucas's eye. The green energy, despite the sword not making direct contact, still caused pain to Lucas.
They stayed like that for a little while. Soon the energy disappeared and Ness took his foot off of Lucas. Ness sheathed the sword onto his back and held his hand toward Lucas. Lucas took it. Ness shot him up and they looked at each other. "Guess I won," Ness smiled. He also allowed a little bit of his tongue to escape his lips. Lucas rolled his eyes. Their hands left and Lucas went to grab his sword. When he did he put it in its sheath on his back. Lucas turned and crossed his arms.
"Congrats...I guess," he said. Ness laughed and walked forward. He reached his hand around Lucas's shoulders.
"Is that salt I hear?"
"Oh please, I was just...holding back."
"My face is just too precious."
"...Whatever helps you sleep at night." Lucas allowed a little electricity to emit from his pointer finger. He then touched Ness's cheek. Ness stepped back, holding his hand to his cheek.
"Asshole." Lucas just laughed which made Ness smile. They started to hear footsteps on the flat rocks they were training on. Ness and Lucas shot back to the rocky wall and kneeled, looking to the ground.
A strange outline suddenly appeared on the wall. This outline showed a door. The rock in the outline opened and an old man walked forward. He had a yellow can that curled at the top. He chuckled to himself as he walked up. The two boys looked up. The old man was rubbing his long beard. "Boys, that was a joy to watch," he said.
"Master Herneldo, did you see me win?" Master Herneldo nodded with a smile. Lucas looked away, and he saw this. Master Herneldo walked over to him.
"Stand up, Lucas." Lucas shot up and looked at him. "Don't worry about losing, it's a part of life."
"Y-yes master."
"Just don't lose too much," he chuckled. Lucas looked at Ness, who stood up.
"You said we had a mission?" Ness asked. Master Herneldo looked at Ness.
"Yes, it's more or less at steak out. It's more of a test for you two." Master Herneldo walked slowly over to the edge of the cliff. He looked down at the forest and stretched his back. He slammed the bottom of his cane into the ground causing a small piece of the cliff to fall into the forest. He then used the cane to point at a very distant city. Only a single tall building could be seen. Ness and Lucas walked over and looked at the building. "Drunshell...the port capital."
"We've been there, it doesn't seem all that bad," Lucas said.
"Nothing bad is there, but something bad is coming."
"A monster?" Ness asked. Master Herneldo shook his head and looked at Lucas.
"Porky." Lucas backed up slightly and clenched his fist. He shot his head to the building and a small growl came from him. "Lucas...remember what I taught you."
"..."
"What did I teach you?"
"..."
"Tell me."
"Don't let emotions lead," Lucas finally said. Lucas looked down. Ness put his hand in Lucas's hair. Lucas turned his head to him and grew a smile. Master Herneldo turned around and walked toward the hole in the wall. Before entering it he turned around.
"Be careful, a very...impressionable boy lives there." Lucas tilted his head but nodded. They looked down at the forest.
"Ready?" Ness asked. Before hearing Lucas's response he jumped.
"Crazy bitch," Lucas said as he jumped. They both were able to swing on a branch to land safely. They looked at each other and nodded. They started to walk and the forest showed its true creepy colors. Lucas, despite trying to be tough, was clearly scared. Ness chuckled to himself knowing Lucas is trying to impress him.
"You know, you don't need to impress me."
"I don't care if you're impressed." Ness rolled his eyes and picked Lucas up. He put Lucas onto his shoulders. He looked up.
"Are you more comfortable up there?" Lucas playfully ignored him. They walked like this for a while until Lucas decided to jump off. He looked up at a tree. He smirked when he saw an apple. He took out his sword and tossed it up, breaking the branch and dropping the apple. Lucas caught both the apple and sword. He tossed the apple up and chopped it in half. He caught the sword again and Ness grabbed the apples. He tossed one to Lucas. Lucas bit into it and looked at Ness. Ness could tell Lucas was holding something inside of him. "We'll get him, Lucas, don't worry." Lucas looked down and shook his head.
They had been walking for a while and realized it was rather late. They both decided to set up camp. Ness reached into his pocket to grab a small pin. He looked around to try and find a plain area. He found one that was plain enough so he shoved the pin into the ground. The pin shone and suddenly a premade tent formed. Ness put his hands on his waist and looked at Lucas. "Impressive eh?"
"Are you really that lazy to set up one yourself?"
"Not like we have the stuff for one unless you have it up your ass or something."
"I'm sure you'd like to find out."
"Trust me, I would," Ness winked. Lucas chuckled and crawled into the tent. Ness followed. They only had a small bed and a small campfire with a pan. Lucas crawled into the small bed and Ness sat in front of the small campfire. He held his palm to the wood and shot a small flame from his palm. "So, what'd you like?"
"Your specialty." Ness nodded. Lucas tapped his middle finger's knuckle and a raw steak appeared in his hand. He tossed it to Ness. Ness caught it and put it on the pan. Lucas tapped the knuckle again and brought out a picture. He looked at it and sadly sighed. Ness didn't have to look to know what he was looking at. Ness just continued to cook, trying not to let Lucas's emotions come to him.
Ness was able to cook the steak and he ripped it in two. He put out the flames and crawled over to Lucas. He laid next to him, gave him his half of the steak, and looked at the picture. The picture of Lucas's family. There was him, Hinawa, Flint, Claus, and Boney. Lucas bit into the steak and his hand lowered. Ness put his arm underneath Lucas's neck and rubbed Lucas's left shoulder. "Come on, time to get some shut-eye." Ness tapped Lucas's middle finger knuckle and the picture disappeared.
"Do you really think we can save them?"
"Of course-"
"No, do you really think we can save all of them?"
"..."
"Please tell me the truth."
"...If I know anything about Porky...he'll give you a choice. So you'll only be able to save one."
"That's what I thought." Lucas closed his eyes.
"Lucas, look at me." Lucas opened his eyes and turned to him. Ness kissed his forehead. "I've got a small idea. It's risky, but it may work."
"What is it?"
"Master Herneldo may hate us for it...but we need this boy. We need to find him." Lucas nodded. After a little time passed they went to sleep.
Ness and Lucas ran to Lucas's house. The two thirteen-year-olds had found a special item whilst they were exploring the nearby forest, Hope Forest. They know Lucas's mom would know what the item was. They looked around the immediate room but didn't see her. "Mom?" Lucas called out.
"In the pantry hun," Hinawa could be heard. Lucas ran forward and to a small room that they used as the pantry. Hinawa grabbed a bag of tortilla chips and turned. "I was going to make some nachos."
"Ooooh, Nachos." Ness shoved Lucas slightly to remind him. "Oh, right, mom, we found something." Ness took his hands from behind his back and showed her. It was a pink sunflower.
"Woah." She reached her hands to the flower but hesitated.
"It's alright," Ness said. Hinawa nodded and grabbed the flower. She walked out of the pantry, handing Lucas the tortilla chips. The pink sunflower was in a small flower pot. Hinawa put the flower in front of a window in the kitchen. She tilted her head as she looked at it. Lucas opened the tortilla chips and started to eat. Ness chuckled. "Fatass."
"Ness."
"S-sorry."
"No, not that, where'd you find this?"
"Hope forest," Lucas answered. Hinawa gulped and turned around.
"Oh boy."
"What?" Ness asked. Hinawa grabbed the flower and handed it to Lucas.
"Keep this safe, at all times."
"What is it?" Lucas asked. Hinawa shook her head.
"Just keep it-" Hinawa was cut off by the ground shaking. Hinawa backed up and put her hands in front of the boys. Lucas dropped the tortilla chips. Soon the door slammed open and Flint and Claus ran in. They slammed the door behind them. Hinawa ran to them. She looked around, noticing the absence of Boney. "Where is he?" Lucas handed Ness the flower when he noticed Claus start to cry.
"Claus?"
"H-he killed him," Claus cried. He bombarded Lucas in a hug. Lucas hugged back but noticed the ground shook once more. Flint grabbed Hinawa's hand.
"We need to get out of here," Flint said.
"What is it?" Hinawa asked.
"Your research...it's true." Hinawa grew shocked. She turned around and looked at the flower in Ness's hands. Soon the roof of their house was torn off. Everyone looked up and saw a concrete statue seemingly given life. He reached toward Ness but Lucas grabbed Ness's hand and pulled him away. Lucas backed up with Ness in his hands. That's when Hinawa jumped high into the air.
"Mom?" Lucas asked surprised. She held her hand toward the statue's face. Fire shot from her palm which made it step back. She landed on the ground. Flint, her, and Claus ran to Ness and Lucas.
"We need to leave, follow us," Hinawa said. Ness and Lucas nodded and they all started to run. They left the house and saw the statue had fallen onto another building, definitely killing anyone inside it. They ran through nearly the entire village but stopped at another house. Ness knew this house, it was his. Hinawa ran up the steps and didn't even need to knock before Ness's mom opened the door.
"It's Porky, ain't it?" she asked. Hinawa nodded. Ness's mom turned into the building. "Tracy, get King and let's go. NOW!" A minute after saying that Tracy ran down the stairs with King in her arms. They continued to run and soon made it out of the village. They thought they were safe until Ness's mom saw a sudden shadow. "SCATTER!" Everyone did as she said, but she was a little too slow and was crushed by Porky.
"..." Ness and Tracy just looked at the blood on Porky's feet. Ness dropped the sunflower but Hinawa caught it and handed it to Lucas. Porky looked around and chuckled. His eyes stopped on Lucas.
"Give me the flower," he said in his dark and echoey voice. Lucas looked at Hinawa who shook her head.
"No!" Lucas yelled. Porky growled and Lucas bolted in a run. Porky dropped the slingshot and extended his arm. His arm was able to grab onto Lucas's right arm. Lucas instantly felt the strength and pressure of the cement. He yelped in pain which broke Ness from his trance. Lucas looked down and saw Ness staring up at him in fear. Lucas tossed the flower down and he caught it. Porky growled again and tossed the book toward them. Most jumped out of the way, but due to King's weight, Tracy wasn't able to jump far enough and they both got crushed. Ness just looked at it and entered another sad trance, but still kept hold of the flower.
"You stupid kid, I am tired of these games." Lucas tried to detach Porky's hand from his own arm. Porky's newly freed arm grabbed onto Lucas's body. Hinawa tried to jump up and attack but Porky slammed his hard head into her, making her unconscious.
"Mom..." Claus said. Lucas was too much in pain to realize what Porky did. Porky started to pull on Lucas's right arm. He screamed from the sheer pain.
"Oh shut up, just take it like a man." Porky put more strength in pulling on Lucas's arm. Lucas's screams got louder. Claus started to cry more, and the mix of both broke the mold surrounding Ness. Ness looked up at Porky and his nose twitched. Porky soon ripped off Lucas's right arm. Ness growled and held his arm toward Porky. He doesn't know why he did, but he felt he needed to. That's when green energy shot from his hand and rammed into Porky's chest. This temporarily froze Porky and eventually exploded. When he did he dropped Lucas. Flint ran forward and caught him. Flint ran Lucas, who was just barely conscious, back to Ness. They looked at the smoke surrounding Porky. The smoke shot in different directions and Porky still stood in a new spider mech. He didn't waste any time shooting electricity toward Ness and Lucas. But before they could get hit Flint and Claus pushed them out of the range. Due to pushing them, however, they were hit. They didn't die, they went into a paralyzed state. Flint couldn't move, but he could talk.
"Boys...run...find him...Master Herneldo." Lucas struggled to keep his eyes open. Ness looked at Porky who was charging more electricity. Ness picked Lucas up and ran into Hope Forest with the flower in his arms.
After running for two days straight Ness fell, dropping Lucas. Lucas pushed himself onto his back with his left arm. He looked up at the stars. He started to cry when he reached into his pocket. There he found a picture of his family. "Lucas..." Lucas tried to look around for Ness but didn't see him, not even where he fell. "Lucas?" Lucas looked around some more.
"LUCAS!" Ness yelled, waking Lucas up. Lucas looked around and saw Ness's worried face. "You had that dream again, didn't you?" Lucas wiped the tears he had which gave Ness the answer. "Anyway, come on, we've gotta leave at the crack of dawn if we want to find this boy." Lucas nodded and sat up. They both left the tent and Ness tapped on the top corner, turning the tent back into the small pin.
They continued to walk for hours, stopping every now and then to eat an apple. They knew they were getting to the end of the forest. They started to see smaller buildings break from the trees. "Ugh, finally made it," Lucas groaned.
"Hey, I heard this town has one of the best restaurants, wanna stop there?"
"Where'd you get money from?" Lucas asked. Ness winked.
"Trust me, we don't need money." They entered the town that instantly filled the boys with a sense of happiness they last felt back in their home village. The people knew who the boys were. The boys have made many visits for mission purposes or to meet with Master Herneldo. They walked to the town square and saw Dedede's Poissonnier.
"Uhh, what does that word mean?"
"French for a fish cook, and Dedede, I assume, is the name of the person." Lucas turned to Ness.
"How do you know French?"
"I've had some missions where people spoke it. I was kinda forced to learn it."
"Well then, tell me something." Ness giggled.
"Je t'aime," Ness winked. Lucas looked a little confused but Ness just walked to the restaurant. They soon entered the building and saw a small pink puffball dancing to some music.
"Adorable," Lucas couldn't help but spit out. As soon as the puffball saw them he took the headphones off.
"Hiya, the name's Kirby, I'll be your host."
"Hey, table for two?"
"Right, follow me." Kirby jumped from the counter and started to walk. They walked past some happy faces and soon Kirby stopped at a small booth that's ideal only for two people. Ness and Lucas jumped onto their seat and Kirby handed them menus seemingly from his mouth. "Anything to drink?"
"Just water, for both of us." Lucas nodded and Kirby jumped away. Lucas looked at Ness.
"Do you know what this boy looks like?" Ness shook his head.
"Master Herneldo never said anything about him." Lucas looked out of the window and saw a boy standing at the window looking at them. He seemed almost in awe, despite being the same age. Ness chuckled. They're used to fanboys and girls so Ness called him in. The boy pointed at him and Ness nodded. The boy nearly jumped and ran toward the entrance.
"He looks kinda like you."
"Yea...only he has a scarf."
"In the middle of summer?"
"Guess so." Soon the boy made it to their side.
"H-hi," he said with joy. Ness chuckled.
"What's your name?"
"Ninten."
"Well, Ninten, great to meetcha." Ness put his hand on Ninten's shoulder.
"Wanna eat with us?" Lucas asked.
"R-really?" Ninten asked. Ness nodded and scooted closer to the window. Ninten chuckled and sat next to him. "Thank you." Kirby soon came by and gave the two boys their cups of water.
"Want anything, Ninten?" Ness asked.
"Just water." Kirby nodded and hopped off. Ninten looked down and looked as if he was thinking. Lucas looked at Ness and tilted his head. Lucas cleared his throat which seemingly broke Ninten away from his thoughts. Ninten looked up.
"Something on your mind?" Lucas asked.
"Just thinking of a rumor."
"About us?" Ness asked. Ninten nodded. "What is it?"
"That you two are together." Lucas chuckled.
"Together how?" Lucas asked.
"I think you know," Ness said.
"Oh...well then..." Lucas winked at Ness.
"Oh my god, it's true?"
"It's as true as you want it to be," Ness said.
"Way to keep it open." Lucas chuckled and rolled his eyes.
"Yes we're together, Ness is just an asshole," Lucas said.
"It's about the mystery," Ness shot back.
"You're gonna confuse our new friend here for a mystery?"
"...Friend..." Ninten said to himself. Lucas looked at Ninten and handed him a menu. Ninten smirked and looked down. Eventually, Kirby came back with Ninten's drink and so he took their orders. He eventually brought it to them. They happily ate like they've been friends forever. While eating Ninten remembered something about their story. He put his fork down and looked at the duo. "Is it true you were trained by Master Herneldo?" Ness and Lucas stopped eating. People knew about the two of them, but not about Master Herneldo.
"How do you-" Ness was cut off by someone screaming. Kirby ran to the duo, knowing they could help. "What's wrong?"
"I-I don't know. Some guy in a spider thing," Kirby panicked.
"Spider..." Lucas said to himself. He turned to Ninten. "Stay here, stay safe." Lucas ran toward the exit and Ness jumped onto the table. He saw Lucas hold out his hand as he ran and Ness was able to quickly catch up and grab the hand for them both to teleport. The teleported into the streets. "It's really a bitch you need to run to teleport."
"You're telling me," Ness said. Another scream and splattering noise made the duo turn. They saw him, Porky. He stood on the remains of what used to be a building. He was in his spider mech. Porky saw the duo and noticed Lucas had both arms, and the flower was nowhere to be seen.
"Well, boys, great to see you again. How long has it been, five long years," Porky chuckled. Lucas clenched his fist.
"What're you doing here?" Ness asked.
"I needed to find you, so you can see my new toy." That's when a yellow light shot at Lucas, but Lucas simply held up his hand and absorbed it with his PSI magnet. He looked in the direction it came from and saw a masked man standing on the nearby building. "He's called the Masked Man...I wasn't a part of the naming convention." The Masked Man jumped from the building and landed in front of Porky "You can handle them can't you?"
"Who do you think I am?" Masked Man asked. Lucas recognized something about the voice. He couldn't pinpoint it though. Masked Man jumped into the water and disappeared. Masked Man turned and pointed his arm cannon at the two boys. He extended his other arm and a yellow beam sword appeared. "Well, Lucas, Ness...we're not going to achieve anything by standing around." Ness put his hand on the handle of his sword and ran. Lucas tried to run but something seemed to stop him. When Ness slammed his blade into Masked Man's helmet something inside of Lucas hurt. Ness turned around and saw Lucas frozen still.
"Lucas," he said. Masked Man slashed Ness's side. Ness fell to the ground. Masked Man walked over to him. He grabbed Ness's throat and lifted him into the air. Masked Man aimed his arm cannon underneath his jaw.
"You should know, don't let your guard down." He shot and Ness fell all the way back to Lucas. Lucas saw Ness's deep cut and his struggle to breathe. Masked Man shot at Lucas, but Lucas simply absorbed it. Lucas glared at Masked Man. Masked Man took a shot at Lucas every time he took a step. Each shot simply got absorbed. Masked Man soon got right in front of Lucas, but he failed to take action. He shook his head and held up the beam sword.
"LUCAS!" someone yelled behind him. Lucas looked back and saw Ninten on a star. Ninten was able to fly it toward him and pick him and Ness up.
"Ninten...where'd-" Lucas started.
"Kirby bowered it to me." Ninten went back to the ground and looked at Lucas. "Remember...don't let emotions lead you." Lucas looked down and nodded. Lucas jumped onto the ground and Ninten followed. Kirby came out of nowhere and flew the star-and Ness-away. The duo walked toward Masked Man.
"You're the boy aren't you?" Ninten reached behind him and a sheath suddenly appeared behind him. He pulled out his sword as Lucas did.
"I'm still a fanboy." Lucas and Ninten held their swords toward Masked Man. The two bolted toward Masked Man and-despite more fight back-Lucas was able to get in a good slash. They kept on dodging and absorbing Masked Man's sword and blasts. Lucas caused Fire to surround his fist and slammed the fist into Masked Man's face. Ninten covered his leg in ice then kicked Masked Man in the back of the head. Masked Man tumbled forward and Lucas noticed a small crack in the back of the helmet. Lucas put his hand to his heart. He closed his eyes to focus. Ninten was able to keep Masked Man from attacking Lucas to give him time to charge. Once Ninten noticed Lucas was nearing the end he jumped back, allowing Masked Man to run toward Lucas. Lucas opened his eyes and held his hand to the sky. He waited as Masked Man ran toward him.
"PK Love," Lucas said as Masked Man was about to slash him. This powerful PSI shot Masked Man and Ninten back. Ninten was able to absorb some of it, healing the minor wounds he sustained. Masked Man slammed onto the ground, and his helmet broke. When he slammed into the ground so it kicked up a lot of dust and dirt. Ninten ran to Lucas.
"Should we check him out?"
"Sure...let's go." The two of them carefully walked toward the dust cloud. Eventually, the dust cleared and Lucas's eyes gaped open. "C-Claus?" Ninten didn't seem fazed. He walked forward and kneeled. He grabbed Claus's head and closed his eyes. Ninten was able to heal Claus enough for him to open his eyes.
"Hey Claus, come on." Lucas looked at Ninten.
"You know him?" Ninten looked up.
"We were locked up together...he saved me."
"...Before or-"
"During." Claus groaned and looked around. He held up his arm cannon at Lucas but a shooting pain caused him to lower it. Lucas walked over and kneeled.
"Claus...why?"
"..." Claus turned away and looked at Ninten.
"Claus...tell him. No need to fight it anymore."
"...I-If I tell him...he'll h-hurt dad...and Lucas."
"Who?" Lucas asked.
"Porky," Ninten answered. Claus closed his eyes and started to cry.
"Mom's never going to forgive me...I-I'm sorry Lucas...I'm sorry Ninten." Claus held the arm cannon against his head, with the intent to shoot himself. When he shot he didn't die. He opened his eyes and saw Lucas had his right hand blocking the shot.
"Remember when Porky ripped my arm off?" Lucas asked.
"How could I not."
"Yea well..." Lucas looked at his arm. It started to turn into a silver metal and very futuristic. Lucas looked back at Claus's new red-eye. "We're still alike...still twins...because we're both fakes." Claus allowed a tear to fall down his face and Lucas pulled him into a hug.
"Lucas...do you forgive me?"
"As long as you can forgive me." They hugged for a little time. Lucas broke from the hug first and stood up. He extended his arm toward Claus. "You asked me, time to ask Ness." Masked Man looked down at his arm cannon, thinking of trying to shoot himself again, but he just turned the cannon into his normal arm. He also caused the sword to disappear. He grabbed Lucas's arm and Lucas picked him up. They looked at each other. "We'll get dad back, and if Porky touches him, we'll fuck him up. Deal?" Lucas bent his arm and balled his hand into a fist. Claus chuckled and interlocked his arm in the same way with Lucas.
"Deal."
"Just one moment," Ninten said. He snapped his fingers and Kirby came down on the star. Kirby jumped from the star. "Is he there?" Kirby nodded. "Good, I've left you a little tip back at our table." Kirby nodded and ran away. Ninten turned to the twins and tapped on the star. He jumped onto the star and the twins jumped behind him. He flew the star to a very similar cliff. It was the cliff the Ness and Lucas trains on. Lucas jumped off the star and ran to Ness who was lying on the ground, bleeding. Ninten and Claus soon followed. Ninten ran over and touched Ness's forehead. "Since his wound is deep it'll take a bit." Lucas nodded and stood up. Claus walked forward.
"Did you finally tell him."
"About what?"
"Your crush on him."
"Is now really the time to ask that?"
"Come on, I'm your brother, I'm supposed to know this stuff."
"..." Lucas just blushed as he looked down.
"Oh my...you did. How many times have you two banged? Oh, and does he treat you well, 'cause you know if he doesn't-"
"He treats me lovely...and we only do it on occasion." Claus jumped with excitement and Lucas chuckled. "You're such a child." The twins kept their eyes down at Ness as his slash started to heal slowly. Once the wound was fully patched up Ness started to groan. Ness fluttered his eyes open and saw Lucas next to Claus.
"L-Lucas...is that?"
"It's Claus," Lucas nodded. Ness turned and saw Ninten stand up, confusing him some more. Lucas picked Ness up. "There's a lot to explain, but are you feeling ok?" Ness shook his head and looked at Lucas.
"Just tell me, are they here to help?"
"Yes."
"Good, that's all I care about." He looked around. "Well, what do we do now?" Claus walked forward and held out his arm. His open palm showed a map. He was able to project that map into the air.
"We need to barge into Porky's base, I know my way around it," Claus said. Ninten stepped forward.
"I know a secret and safe way in," he said. Claus smiled as he turned the map off. Lucas put his hand in the middle of their circle. Ness put his hand on top of Lucas and the other two followed.
"We'll take Porky out," Ness said.
"Because we are a team," Claus said.
"We'll stay a team," Ninten said.
"We're the PK Boys," Lucas said as the four of them balled up their hands and pounded them together. They then jumped off the cliff and made their way toward Porky's lair, as a team, as the PK Boys.
