"GUYS!" Lucas yelled. He and his closest friends were hanging out at a park. This park stood in the middle of Ultimatum. Almost directly in the middle actually. It was a large park, with water fountains, playsets, benches, gardens, and more.

"Dude….please, stop yelling," Toon Link pleaded. A simple look at the others told Lucas they wanted the same thing….for him to quiet down. Lucas cleared his throat.

"S-sorry…"

"What do you even want?" Young Link asked with a yawn. It was pretty close to sundown, right around the time most of them would be settled down in bed, just waiting for that drowsy feeling to hit them. Ness was the only one not entirely tired. He stood up and wrapped an arm around Lucas's neck.

"What is it, stud?" Ness asked.

"Well….I was wondering if y'all wanted to play Hide 'n' Seek?"

"Nope…" Mega Man said without hesitation.

"Why?"

"Because you always get uber intense when playing it."

"No, I don't."

"You kinda do," Ness pointed out. Lucas pouted and put on a sad face. Ness crossed his arms, fighting the urge to succumb to Lucas's sadness. The second Lucas activated his trap card….puppy dog eyes, Ness lost. He sighed before turning toward the others. "Come on, let's just play with him." Paula stood up.

"Ok...but you're paying for us," she said.

"Yeah yeah yeah, don't worry. I've got the money...one sec." Ness ran off to go pay for them. Lucas clapped his hands together with a smile.

"You sure do have some power over our baseball-loving boy." Lucas smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Y-you can say that." Claus, the most observant of their group, noticed Lucas had a blush that he was mostly able to hide. Claus leaned back and tapped his chin.

It didn't take long for Ness to return. "Alright, done," he said, "Everyone ready?" Everyone stood up from their seats. The players in Lucas's game of Hide 'n' Seek will be Lucas, Ness, Claus, Ninten, Toon Link, Young Link, Paula, Mega Man, and Ana. Everyone, having stood up, told Ness and Lucas that they were indeed ready. Lucas ran over to a water fountain and closed his eyes.

"Better go hide." Lucas started counting down from 1000. The others, reluctantly, ran to go hide. Lucas loved playing Hide 'n' Seek. It allowed a side of him to take control. The others weren't huge fans, however. They did it, for Lucas's sake alone. They knew that if Lucas's darker side came out, it'd be bad news. To make that dark side have more of a thrill, the entire city of Ultimatum was open to the game of Hide 'n' Seek. The players were even allowed to hide in places they normally wouldn't be able to. Certain people understood that Lucas needed this time to "cool off" so they allowed them into places normally closed off.

After a while, Lucas made it to the home stretch of his counting down. "3…..2…...1….ready or not….." Lucas opened his eyes. His eyes turned a blood-shot red. He smiled, his mouth was also blood-shot red. He had an evil smirk as his arms and legs emitted a type of dark energy. "Here I come," Lucas's normally high-pitched and happy-go-lucky voice turned to a sadistic and terrorizing voice. He turned around and started his journey to find…..and kill his friends.

Lucas made it to Smash High. The large school was a perfect hiding spot. And he knew exactly who'd be hiding in this school. Mega Man. And he was correct. Mega Man was hiding in the cafeteria, behind a vending machine for water bottles. Once Lucas stepped into the school, Mega Man felt Lucas's aura, despite being on the very opposite of the school. This aura made the poor robot scared. "Oh, Mega Man!~ Come out come out wherever you are!~" Mega Man gulped as Lucas's voice echoed through the school as if it was on a loudspeaker. Each of Lucas's steps shook Mega Man's world.

Mega Man decided to run to a different hiding spot. He was able to quietly run through the school and make it to the small greenhouse in the courtyard. He proceeded to hide behind a wheel barrel filled with gardening tools. Despite having moved to a new spot, he still felt Lucas's steps and heard his harsh breathing. "Oh come on Mega Man…." Lucas suddenly appeared next to Mega Man. Mega Man slowly looked up at him. Fear having instantly drained any and all features from him. "Hiya." Lucas grabbed Mega Man's throat. Normally, this would choke someone, but Mega Man had the privilege of not needing to breathe. However, running to the greenhouse was his downfall. Him being a robot….he couldn't handle water. This greenhouse, in particular, had small rivers flowing through the sections of flowers. Lucas shoved Mega Man's face under the water. Within a minute, since Mega Man was able to deal with some water, or else rain would be hell, he started glitching. Mega Man never felt pain….unless he started glitching. He screamed, with his head still underwater. Lucas watched as Mega Man screamed with zero bubbles coming up. "It is quite a shame you don't run on oxygen. I like myself some bubbles."

Lucas stood up, stepping on Mega Man's head, keeping it underwater. He looked at the sunflowers he was next to. "Does this please you, Lucas?"

"Yes….So calming." Lucas was a confusing person. But that's neither here nor there. Lucas rolled his eyes.

"This is taking too long." He took his foot from Mega Man's head and grabbed a shovel from the wheel barrel. He turned toward Mega Man, who was recovering from the slight drowning. Mega Man stood up and looked at Lucas. "I hope you're having fun." He proceeded to slam the shovel into the side of Mega Man's head, knocking his head clean off his shoulders and directly into a composter. Lucas cheered. "Hole-in-one."

Lucas soon made it to the forest. He could sense two people were here, hiding together. These two people he could tell were a little odd in their running patterns. They weren't running as if they were trying to get away from him...but they were running as if they just wanted time to themselves. By this running pattern alone, he could tell who they were. Ninten and Lucas's very own brother. "Hey...can we watch them for a second?" Lucas asked.

"How come? Shouldn't we kill them now so we can move on?"

"Yeah….but if you think about it….we could get some sweet sweet tea. I know you love your tea."

"Heh...you're right…." After a conversation between the two people in his body, Lucas brought out a phone and slowly followed their tracks. Soon enough, Lucas found Claus and Ninten. Lucas climbed up a tree and brought out his phone, recording what would happen.

"Claus? What is it? We should be hiding," Ninten nervously said. He had no clue why Claus wanted them two to go into the secluded forest. Claus was also nervous….but for different reasons. "Claus?"

"Ok…." Claus looked around, failing to see Lucas since Lucas concealed his presence. "Ok….I-I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time…" Claus had a pretty major blush plastered on his face. Granted, he always had a blush but that was beside the point. "I-I…..ummm….I…."

"One second." Ninten reached into his pocket and brought out Pepto Bismol.

"Wh-What's this for?"

"You're not constipated."

"NO!" Claus hit the Pepto out of his hand, directing Ninten's eyes to the grounded medication.

"That was my sister's…."

"I LOVE YOU, YOU IDIOT!" Claus covered his mouth. Ninten's eyes widened up as he looked at Claus.

"Y-you what?" Claus slowly lowered his hands and held a somber attitude.

"I-I….I love you." Ninten smirked before kissing Claus's cheek.

"You're more of an idiot than me….idiot." Claus felt where Ninten kissed. Lucas jumped from the tree, scaring the two boys. "O-oh hey...L-Lucas…." Lucas pocketed the phone and stepped forward.

"Alright, gaywads. Which one of you is first?" Ninten and Claus looked at each other.

"One second…" Claus said before bringing Ninten into a full-blown kiss. Ninten melted into it instantly. "I'll do the honors babe." Ninten giggled.

"So chivalrous," Ninten happily said. Claus winked before stepping away from him. He stopped right in front of Lucas.

"What is it now?"

"Hmmm….I know!" Lucas loudly said right before slamming his hand into and through Claus. Claus spat up blood before instantly falling limp. Lucas kicked his brother from off his hand. Claus's body fell right next to Ninten. He looked down at it.

"Huh...creative." Lucas stood right in front of Ninten within seconds. Ninten looked at him and gulped. "Th-there's no point in running….is there?"

"Nope." Lucas instantly snapped Ninten's neck. He fell back and right next to Claus. "They are cute together, aren't they?"

"Yup," Lucas responded.

Lucas made it to the police station. He knew who would try to find solace here. Poor little Paula. He barged into the station, which was still pretty active. Cops running around, doing their daily business. Lucas was able to freely walk around, however. Not being stopped by a single cop who knew he was there to kill and knew that he had already killed.

Lucas walked right up to a cop he personally knew; Joker….or at least that was his code name. "Hey, Ren." Joker shot around and looked at Lucas anxiously.

"O-oh h-hey Lucas...H-how're you?" he nervously asked. Lucas crossed his arms and smirked, only making Joker all the more anxious.

"I have a question for you."

"Y-yes? A-anything…"

"Did you happen to come across any hiders?"

"Y-you know that's against the r-rules." Joker was mad nervous. He knew that if he said one thing out of Lucas's playbook, he'd be killed within an instant.

"You know what is not against the rules?" Joker gulped as Lucas floated up to be eye-to-eye with him. "Any casualties from people who don't accommodate me. Do you want to be one of those casualties?" Joker shook his head.

"N-no….Uhm….Paula was here a moment ago. BRING HER OUT BOYS!" Cloud and Falco did as Joker told. They each held onto one of Paula's arms. She was struggling, of course, but that only made it more fun for Lucas as he landed back on the ground.

"Hey there Paula. How's it hanging?"

"I-I don't know why I keep signing up for this…."

"You're the person who tortures poor Lucas with all those game nights. Made only to embarrass him." The officers dropped Paula. Paula nervously giggled as she backed away.

"I-it's all fun and games…."

"For the readers. But for Lucas….it's not at all fun." Lucas grabbed Paula's neck and she instantly started choking. "I want you to die…...just like how you kill Lucas with embarrassment." Paula couldn't respond. Her life was leaving her. "Ren, my friend….your gun."

"R-right," Joker handed him his gun. Lucas didn't hesitate to put the gun into her mouth and pull the trigger. Lucas let go of her and she fell.

"Poor thing…" Lucas kicked her lifeless body.

"Four more…...Four more…..not much longer 'till this game will end," he sang. He skipped through Ultimatum. Lucas's hearing was immensely enhanced in this form. He heard The breaths of the Links. They came from a random house along the street. "Found you." He teleported inside the house. The breaths of the poor links were slightly different. One was further than the other. "Oh Toonie…." He walked through the house and got to a little room underneath the staircase. "Hey, Toonie….how're you feeling in there?" Lucas smirked evilly.

Young Link was hiding underneath a bed in an upstairs bedroom. He couldn't hear anything. In fact….it was too quiet. No bird chirps…..no whooshing wind….nothing. Soon enough….the door to the bedroom was kicked open. Young Link saw a pair of feet in the doorway. Lucas's shoes proved that it was Lucas. But something was dripping down…..blood. Within seconds of the door slamming open, Toon Link's lifeless and bloody body was thrown onto the ground to look directly at Young Link. Young Link covered his mouth.

"Hmmm….Young Link…..I'm pretty sure you're in here." Lucas was teasing at this point. He skipped over to the closet. "Are you in here?" he sang. He opened the closet and, not to his surprise, he wasn't in there. "Oh….that sucks." He slowly looked down at the bed. "Are you under there?" Lucas snapped his fingers, forcing Young Link to say….

"Underwear?"

Lucas giggled. "You said underwear." He continued laughing as he lifted the bed up to see a trembling Young Link. I sure do love this game. Lucas twisted the bed around and slammed it back down onto Young Link….squishing and killing him. "Whoo….two left."

Lucas kicked open the door to the underground office that belonged to the gang leader of the city. The city was run by officials, yes, but secretly was run by a gang named Starwolf. And the big bad leader of the gang was the big bad wolf himself…..uh Wolf. Wolf O'Donnell to be specific.

Lucas barged into Wolf's throne room. Wolf was sitting on this throne. He saw Lucas walk in and stood up. "Ahh, Lucas, here to pay another visit?" Wolf asked with his dark, raspy voice.

"Not this time. I'm looking for Ana."

"Ahhh, Ana, she did come here." Wolf snapped his furry fingers and one of his lackeys, Charizazrd, flew in with Ana. Charizard dropped Ana, showing that she had burn marks and cuts around her body. "She tried to escape us, and you know how we feel about that." Lucas walked up to Ana and smiled down at her.

"Tch tch tch, you should've known better." Lucas extended an arm out to her. She grabbed it, but Lucas instantly crushed it. Ana screamed in pain. "You're way too trusting for your own good. That's what people like about you. Too bad it'll also be your weakness." Lucas stepped on Ana's neck, not nearly enough to choke her. "I should teach you something in the future. Remind me ok?" Ana's pained eyes just wanted to be put out of her misery. "Oh whatever," Lucas shrugged as he snapped her neck. "Kinda boring….but hey."

"Hey….Lucas…." Lucas looked up at Wolf. "Did you need to kill her right here? Making a damned mess." Lucas walked forward and stopped right in front of Wolf's throne. Wolf, the strong-willed and tough gang leader wasn't nearly as shaken up as Joker but had a slight feeling of fear.

"If you want I can make a bigger mess. I'm sure any member of your pitiful little group wouldn't mind cleaning their boss's guts off the floor."

"If you kill me, you become their target."

"And if you keep talking you'll become my target. So I suggest you keep that snout shut and clean up my mess." Wolf growled before getting off the throne and walking to Ana's body. Lucas smirked. Wolf kneeled near the body. He looked around and saw that Charizard was still there.

"OUT!" Charizard nodded before running off. Wolf began cleaning up the mess. Lucas slowly sat down on Wolf's throne before crossing his legs.

"Good boy."

Lucas walked through the forest to the Sunflower Fields. He knew the final hider would be there. He broke through the thicket of trees and out onto the cliffside of the forest that overlooked Ultimatum. This was where the sunflower fields were. Separated from the forest by a small dirt border. The sunflowers stood tall over Ultimatum. And Ness stood directly at the edge. He turned around and smiled. "Hey there Lucas," he said.

"Ness…..who would've thought you'd be here."

"Oh please, you knew I was here. You just saved me for last," Ness winked.

"Perhaps." Lucas walked up to Ness. Ness was ever so slightly taller than Lucas, so Lucas needed to look up a bit. "And why would I choose you to be last?" Ness softly put a hand on Lucas's cheek.

"Because you know I like seeing your cute little ass."

"Do you need to be so profane?" Ness giggled.

"I never know which Lucas is talking when you're in this form. But I know both of you love me." Lucas blushed before looking out at the town.

"Shut up, idiot." Ness giggled some more as he ruffled Lucas's hair.

"You may be a sadistic killer….but damn it are you cute." Ness licked Lucas's cheek, making his cheeks flush much much more.

"Y-you suck."

"You betcha~" Ness winked. Lucas looked at Ness. "You wanna kiss me while you do it, don't ya?"

"M-maybe."

"Good…." Ness rubbed the back of Lucas's head. He leaned in slowly and brought Lucas into a passionate kiss. Despite the red mouth Lucas had, the kisses all felt the same. Each full of love and passion. During the kiss, Lucas felt up and down Ness's back. Soon enough….he dug his now sharp fingers deep into his back. Ness gasped, of course, but didn't stop the kiss. Lucas slowly inserted his hand, digging deeper and feeling the heat of the inside of his body. Blood started coming out of Ness's mouth. It wasn't long after that, that Lucas pulled out Ness's heart and kicked him off the cliff. Lucas looked down at Ness's falling body.

"LOVE YOU!" Lucas yelled down with his pumping heart still in his hands. "Heh….your heart is also so big and active. See you soon~"

The next morning Lucas woke up with a stretch. There was a knock on his bedroom door. "Wake up Lucas, breakfast time," Claus announced. Lucas left the room and found his family calmly eating breakfast.

"So boys, why were you out so late last night?" Hinawa asked. Lucas looked over at Claus with both of them having their mouths full of scrambled eggs.

"Claus was kissing Ninten," Lucas said. Claus dropped the fork he was holding.

"YOU BASTARD!" Claus yelled, spitting eggs in the process. Lucas stood up and stuck his tongue out.

"What're you gonna do, hit me?"

"YES!"

"Come and get me, asshole!" Lucas ran off, laughing. He opened the front door and saw Ness.

"Yo dud-" Ness was cut off by Lucas grabbing his hand and running off. "You exposed Claus?" Claus appeared out of the house and glared at Lucas and Ness with absolute malice.

"Yup." Lucas and Ness sped up with Claus still speeding up after him. While they ran, Ness kissed Lucas's cheek before taking the charge and allowing them to run faster. All three of them, loving the chasing game they were now embarked on. Lucas's fury was quenched, no one would need to worry about it for another month. But when that time comes…..it's time for a new game of Hide 'n' Seek.
