The birds were chirping and the sky was a pretty blue. The day was just like any other in the city of Ultimatum. And just like any other day, death stained the streets. The police force was always working on trying to find the culprit, but the more bodies found the more difficult the case proved to be. At first, they thought it was a serial killer. But they were beginning to doubt that theory. The police force was getting bombarded with questions like "Why haven't you caught them yet" or "Are we safe in Ultimatum" or "Are they paying you to keep quiet". More and more questions like that were hindering the police's ability to investigate.
Lucina, the police chief, gathered the highest grade detectives to form a Strike Force of sorts. This team was the best of the best when it came to detective work. The Strike Force consisted of Lucas, Ness, Ninten, Claus, Joker, Cloud, Samus, and ROB. They were amazingly talented. Lucina crossed her arms. "Alright team. The recent string of deaths is really stirring the public. I need you guys to help find the killer or killers," Lucina said.
"You just want to save your own ass," Claus said. He wanted to figure out the killer, but he knew this wasn't all about that.
"We can't help the public if the public hates us."
"Come on. Does it matter her reasoning? She wants us to find the culprits," Lucas said, lightly smacking Claus's shoulder. Claus huffed, but he understood. He just didn't like to be used. He needed Lucas's optimism to balance him out.
"Thank you for understanding, Lucas."
"Of course." Lucas's smile was intoxicating, especially for his secret boy-toy, Ness. They were a thing for a while now. They fell in love on their first mission together, which was to find a serial killer who would inject his victims with air until their bodies popped. A gruesome death and killer solved by the two lovebirds. They have been amazing partners since.
"What do we know about the culprit already?" Joker asked.
"Not much. All we know is that every victim's death was posed to look like suicide."
"How do you know it's not just that?" Samus asked.
"Because there was footage. Allow me to show you." The large whiteboard behind her also doubled as a screen. So it turned into the paused video of a rooftop. Lucina unpaused the video. It was nighttime. The roof of the building was empty. Empty until a person, looking like a young male, walked into view of the camera. The boy stepped onto the side of the building. That was when he froze. But it wasn't from fear. It wasn't from anything. The boy just stopped moving but still kept up his balance. The boy was joined by a hooded figure. The hooded figure looked directly into the camera, but their face remained hidden. However, that was when a small noise suddenly sounded. It didn't sound like anything outside of some wind or just a glitch in the camera. But soon after that, the boy was pushed. Lucina paused the video soon after the boy got pushed. "There's footage of this hooded figure for every death in the past month. One a day. Every time, he or she looks into the camera before enacting said crime."
"Ma'am…" ROB started. Lucina looked at him. "May I see the flash drive that has the video?"
"Uh, sure, I guess." Lucina tampered with some things before she could grab the flash drive. She gave it to the robot. ROB then injected it into him causing his eyes to flash color after color.
"What is he doing?" Ness asked, sort of in awe of the robot."
"I'm assuming he's analyzing the drive," Joker suggested. ROB's eyes stopped changing color.
"Analysis complete," he said.
"Heh, I was right."
"Just as I thought. The hooded figure speaks."
"He does?" Lucas questioned.
"Yes." A hologram shot out of ROB's eyes. The hologram was of the same video that they had just watched on the screen. The video skipped to right before the boy was pushed off. "There was a weird noise before the figure pushed the boy. I assumed that it wasn't just some error in the camera. Those cameras aren't even supposed to pick up audio."
"I didn't even pick up on that…" Lucina said before going back to her desk to look through her drawers.
"What did they say?" Ninten asked. The video played.
"For the all-father," the voice said. The voice shook the group. It wasn't what they had expected from the hooded figure. The voice was young. It was even a little high-pitched.
"Who's the all-father?"
"Not sure. But it sounds religious."
"We can't assume that based on a single video though. But if it is religious we can assume a large portion of people are backing them. Ness and I have dealt with quite the number of religious serial killers," Lucas mentioned. Ness nodded as if to provide some sort of credibility to Lucas's claims which no one doubted.
Lucina soon found what she was looking for, however. More flash drives. Specifically, more flash drives that had the videos of the other murders. She knew that the other videos all had the same weird sound. She handed them to ROB, who proceeded to analyze them and sure enough, all of them said the same thing. "For the all-father." All of them were said by a young-sounding voice. Presumably a child. It was unnerving for them to hear such a young and innocent voice say such a cryptic thing.
"Ok, so this most definitely has some religious intent."
"Can you pinpoint the owner of the voice?" Samus asked.
"I can try." ROB started to cross-reference the voice in the videos with the voices stored up in his hard drive, but that was when he suddenly froze up. It wasn't just the type of frozen that the boy on the rooftop suffered with. ROB was legitimately frozen. Completely and suddenly encased in ice. Everyone was taken aback by this.
"ROB? The hell happened?" Joker asked, with worry tainting his voice. Despite being frozen, ROB's eyes were changing color. From blue to green, to yellow, to red. It stayed a dark red.
"For the all-father," the young voice played through ROB before causing him to self-destruct, shooting ice and robot bits all over the place. No one was hurt outside of small cuts, though.
"So….ROB just died?" Ninten asked.
"What's it look like captain obvious?" Cloud finally spoke up. Everyone turned to the tall, buff, and stoic man. He stood up, unfazed by the cut on his cheek. "We had ROB infiltrate the video and the voice. This must've been what he wanted. He knew only one computer, in the whole city of Ultimum, could've cracked both what the voice said and who the voice belonged to….that being ROB."
"But that doesn't make sense. How can ROB be the only one capable of that? We have loads of tech companies in the city," Ninten brought up.
"Yes, but they viewed ROB as their ultimate design and tried to replicate him over and over again. But constantly failed to give them the consciousness that ROB had….so they were destroyed. And after that waste of money, vowed to never try to create something like that again."
"So you're saying ROB was fully capable of doing this job alone," Samus brought up.
"Exactly. And so the perp must've known that and did something to those flash drives to cause such a reaction that only ROB would've been able to cause."
"Wow, you're good at this," Joker complemented with a pat on the back.
"This is my job for a reason."
"But that's impossible. The only ones who held onto these drives were me and….the police chiefs." Cloud looked at the rest of the team and they all had the same idea. Cloud walked over to Lucina. "Cloud….what're you doing?"
"My job, commissioner." Cloud brought out handcuffs, despite being in the police station. "You're under arrest, Commissioner Lucina."
The Hooded Figure walked into a church. The church was small but was big enough for the figure and the figure's friends. Truth was, they were all one big family. One big family with one big goal. To appease The All-Father. Or who they believed to be The All-Father at least. Most of them were following due to sheer blindness of reality. The hooded figure wasn't one of these people. The figure knew that The All-Father was bull wonky. But just didn't care. The figure never did any of that stuff for The All-Father. Truth was, the figure received a certain amount of joy when committing such heinous acts. The Figure gained more joy when they received praise for those acts.
The Hooded Figure walked right up to their spiritual leader. Although, even the leader looked up to The All-Father. The leader was a man named Ridley. Ridley shouldn't even be considered a man. He was a dragon through and through. But he was intelligent. Conniving. Cunning. Ridley was praying at an altar that was made for The All-Father. The Hooded Figure kneeled before also bowing his head. "Master. It's just as you suspected. The police have formed a team of the best detectives in Ultimatum," The Figure said. Ridley stood up and looked down at the short figure.
"Good. We'll appease The All-Father with their blood. What of the robot?"
"Gone. Reduced to rubbish."
"Good. I have a new job for you." The Hooded Figure stood up.
"What is it, Master." Ridley walked behind the altar and brought out a boy that looked to be pretty young. He was blonde with elf ears. The boy's eyes were dead. But he was very much alive. Ridley wrapped his big hand around the elf's significantly smaller head. The Figure and the elf were similar in height and stature, yet The Figure felt no remorse for the elf.
"The All-Father requested you to deal with this boy. Do what you will with him." The elf walked forward and stopped in front of The Figure.
"Yes, Master."
"For The All-Father"
"For The All-Father."
Within a few hours, The Hooded Figure made it to one of many bridges that led into Ultimatum. The Hooded Figure chose the specific location meticulously. The bridges all had cameras on them. The Hooded Figure looked into the camera that a friend of The Figure's had hacked into to cause the auditory glitch. "For The All-Father," The Figure said before pushing the elf into the water. The Figure watched as the elf sunk deeper and deeper. Bubbles started to rise. Once they stopped, The Hooded Figure knew the elf was dead.
The coroner rolled the elf's body onto the table in front of the Strike Force. Lucas averted his eyes from the body. "What's the problem boy? You've seen dead bodies before," Cloud said.
"Toon Link here is our friend," Ness said as he rubbed the silently whimpering blonde.
"Oh...sorry for your loss." Lucas cleared his throat before shaking his head.
"L-let's just get this done," Lucas just said.
"Cause of death?" Joker asked the coroner.
"Drowning," the coroner said. Lucas smiled softly.
"It's ironic," Lucas said as he looked down at his old friend.
"What is?" Joker asked.
"Toon Link always loved water. It was his passion you may say." Joker and Cloud exchanged a look before Joker brought out a notepad.
"Tell us more about Toon link."
"Uh, well he was always a light-hearted character. He was able to bring up any room he was in."
"Would he have made any enemies?"
"None that I could think of. He was light-hearted….sometimes he could come off as a bit of a dick. But in the end, he was always caring and he'd make sure the people he hangs around with are happy and comfortable."
"There has to be something about him that makes you think," Samus brought up. Lucas started thinking intensely. Ness hugged Lucas from behind.
"You've got this."
"Uhh, why is he hugging Lucas like that?" Cloud asked.
"It helps Lucas think," Ninten made up. Lucas closed his eyes as a thought came to his mind.
"About a week ago he said he was going to hang out with someone he's never hung out with before. Not by himself at least," Lucas recollected.
"Who is this person?" Joker asked.
"Uhm, I don't really know his name actually. He goes by a nickname."
"And the nickname?"
"The Blue Bomber."
"Blue Bomber….ominous and dangerous name." Joker wrote down what was said. He looked at Joker and Samus, vowing to go find this person themselves. They leave the younger detectives with their friend to go out and do some more in-depth detective work. Claus sighed before walking forward to Lucas's side. He put a sheet over Toon Link's body and looked at his twin.
"How you feeling?" Claus asked, a hand on Lucas's shoulder. Lucas looked fine, but he was always one to keep his emotions bottled up.
"He was my best friend." The other three stayed quiet. Lucas balled up his fists. "I swear to him, I'll get them. I'll get them all."
"Lucas, try not to be blinded by revenge." Lucas growled before shooting an evil look toward his brother.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF REVENGE?!" Lucas quickly realized he was yelling at his twin, which set out to find their mother's killer, and ended up being severely tortured and on the brink of death. Lucas looked down, tears welling up in his face. "Claus...I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean that."
"I know, Lulu, I know." Claus brought Lucas into a hug. Ness was rubbing Lucas's back.
"Luke, you need some time to yourself?" he asked. Lucas broke the hug up and nodded. "Go on and get. Take your time, babe." Ness kissed Lucas quickly. Lucas looked at his brother for acceptance, and when he received it he ran off.
"Poor Lucas…" Ninten said under his breath.
Samus, Joker, and Cloud arrived at the house of The Blue Bomber, otherwise known as Mega Man. They decided to take a gentle approach due to Mega Man being young. Samus knocked on the door. It opened soon after to show the young robot. Mega Man looked up at the three detectives. "Hey there."
"Hey, Mega Man, we have some questions to ask you. Can we come in?" Samus gently asked.
"Uh, o-okay." Mega Man stepped aside. The three detectives walked in and Mega Man closed the door, locking it. "So what do you need to ask?"
"When was the last time you saw Toon Link?" Cloud asked.
"Uhm, like a week ago. He and I went out to have a relaxing day, I guess."
"And where did you go?" Mega Man's attitude changed. He straightened up and his idle hands turned into battle-ready fists. His face started glitching. "Mega Man?" When the glitching stopped, Mega Man smiled.
"You really want to learn about us, don't you?" A voice came from the robot, but it wasn't Mega Man's. Mega Man was simply used as a vessel. Joker grabbed his gun. "Now now, Ren, if you shoot innocent little Mega Man, he'll emit the frozen gas I am so proficient in. The All-Father may not be huge on murder…..but he's even less huge on people hurting his followers."
"What do you want?" Joker asked.
"I want to chat. A nice civil chat." Joker looked around at the other two, who both nodded. Joker put the gun back in its holster.
"Fine, where do we meet?" Mega Man fell to the ground, seemingly deactivated.
"Already here." The voice came from behind the trio. They turned and saw The Hooded Figure sitting on the couch. The Figure's face wasn't visible. The Figure stood up and looked at the door down to the basement. "Follow me. And bring my friend Mega Man." The Hooded Figured opened the door and started walking down it. Cloud looked back at the others.
"Alright, remember, stay on guard. Samus, bring Mega Man," Cloud whispered. Samus picked up the robot and followed the other two down to the basement. Inside the basement was an aura of creepiness. There wasn't much inside the basement to cause the effect of creepiness. There was, however, one thing in there that was odd. It was a crucifix. It was hanging on the wall. There was stained blood on it, showing that it was used at least once. Joker stared at the crucifix in horror.
"Ren, looking in the wrong direction." Joker turned to see The Figure. The Figure was standing behind an island. This island didn't have much to it outside of a sink.
"Tell us what you want to talk about," Cloud ordered.
"Now now, what's the rush? It's not like there's a killer out there for you to-Oh wait, there is." The Figure started to giggle. "I forgot."
"You sicko. You killed all those innocent kids," Samus called out.
"You're right. I did." The Figure put their hands behind their back. The Figure walked to the other side of the island, closer to the detectives. The detectives took a step back. This was exactly what The Figure wanted. Mega Man woke up and placed three chairs behind the detectives, so when they stepped back, they fell onto the seat. Mega Man was able to quickly tie all three of them into the chairs. "And I'm about to add two more."
"Two? Clearly, you can't count," Cloud said.
"Oh trust me, I know how to count. But, The All-Father only calls for two of you for now. Not three." The Figure started to sing "Eeny meeny miny moe" to determine who would be safe. "Whoever I do not point to, The All-Father calls for you." The Figure pointed at Joker. "It's your lucky day." The Figure walked over to Joker. Cloud and Samus tried to attack. Mega Man prevented them from succeeding by throwing a sharp gear, causing a cut on Cloud's face. Marking his second cut. "Ah. Ah. Ah. Didn't think I'd be caught so easily huh?" The Figure grabbed Joker and pushed him aside. Joker slid over to the back of the room, right next to the crucifix. And this crucifix was picked up. The Figure looked at Joker. "I hope you look forward to seeing this…..chilling event." The Figure stabbed the crucifix into the weak ground. "Alright, Blue Bomber, it's time." Mega Man nodded as he walked forward. The Figure attached Mega Man to the crucifix. "For The All-Father."
"For The All-Father," Mega Man repeated before The Figure ripped his robotic heart out and jumped out of the way. A gas started to emit from Mega Man's chest. Joker realized what The Figure had said before.
" If you shoot innocent little Mega Man, he'll emit the frozen gas I am so proficient in," The Figure's voice echoed throughout Joker's head. The gas surrounded Samus and Cloud as they tried to struggle out of the powerful binds. They weren't making any gain with it, though. Their feet started freezing up and the freezing continued slowly up their bodies. Cloud knew it was over. He stared at Joker.
"Take these bastards out for us," Cloud said. Joker, while not being all that emotional, still nodded. The Figure walked into the gas and sniffed it.
"Ahh, what a great smell."
"How are you not affected by this?" Samus asked.
"Oh, Ms. Aran. That's like asking why Poison Ivy can't get poisoned. I am the cold." The Figure walked forward and took her helmet off. The Figure gripped her ponytail and forced to look into The Figure's hood. Samus saw who it was, and her mouth fell. "And I will watch all of you freeze. For the glory of The All-Father." Samus's face was soon frozen. Samus was gone. The Figure looked at Cloud right before seeing him freeze. The Figure smirked before pushing Samus over and causing her to shatter, frozen blood being spilled. The Figure walked over to Joker and smiled.
"Not going to make it look like a suicide?"
"Why should I. Killing people, in the same way, is boring. I much prefer trying different things."
"So you're not a serial killer." The Figure laughed.
"Oh, your poor naive creature. Serial killers are psychotic. I am methodic. A very big difference."
"Then why do you kill." The Figure stood up and crossed their arms.
"I don't think I signed up for an interview, Detective."
"And I doubt you will. You're not one for following the rules." The Figure chuckled.
"I can see why you're a detective." Joker sat up straight. He needed to play this right. He knew that The Figure was right. They weren't psychotic. Nor did they seem like a sociopath. The Figure was just as he said, methodical. But every methodical person had some way to get into their head.
"Now then, I'm sure it upsets you that you could've only killed two of us."
"You have no idea."
"And why is that?"
"Because it feels great to kill."
"And who is this All-Father person?"
"Our grand leader…..which I don't believe in. This tomfoolery is beyond me."
"You just don't care if he is real or not, do you?"
"Of course I don't. If it gives me an excuse to kill, then being a part of a stupid cult is fine by me." Joker opened his mouth but then The Hooded Figure took Joker's gun and hit him with it. "That's enough talk."
Joker opened his eyes, groaning from pain and aching. Lucas was to his immediate right. "Oh thank God you're ok. Had me nervous there," he said. Joker sat up and looked around. He was in a hospital room. There was immense pain in his eye.
"What happened?"
"Lucina pleaded with us that she was innocent so we let her go and she helped us discover a few things. One of those things was that The Blue Bomber's house was just one big trap.
"I thought so. W-wait...how's Samus and Cloud?" Lucas looked away. He closed his eyes before shaking his head. "No...bastards." Lucas stood up and smiled.
"We'll catch them."
"Oh yeah, bring in the team. I learned something." Lucas nodded before leaving the room. He came back soon with the rest of the living team. Lucina stood there at the foot of the hospital bed. "I apologize, Chief."
"Don't worry. You made the smart choice. Just tell us what we need to know," she said, with a notepad and pencil in hand.
"Ok, so The Hooded Figure is a part of a cult that worships this All-Father. The Figure also loves using this ice gas."
"Do you know who The All-Father is?" Ninten asked. Ness cleared his throat. It was his time to shine.
"I do." All eyes were on him. "I did some research and I found a reasonable guess as to who this "All-Father" person is."
"Who?"
"He goes by the name Giygas. No one knows what he truly looks like nor do people even know if he's real. It's a Creepypasta one may say. But a Creepypasta that has devout followers. And this cult might be one of them."
"So smart," Lucas smirked. Ness blushed a bit before clearing his throat.
"Is there a place people would meet to cherish Giygas?"
"Well, if this is sort of like a religious thing, then I'd imagine some church. Maybe an abandoned church," Claus connected. Lucina snapped her fingers into a finger gun at Claus.
"There's an abandoned and rundown church downtown near Funk Street," Lucina said. Claus clapped his hands.
"There it is. Ready to investigate boys?"
"Yes," Joker answered. The others looked at him with concern. "And don't you even say anything. I'm hurt, yes, but I'm doing this. I'm doing it for those we were supposed to protect." Joker stepped off the bed and stood up heroically.
"Are you sure?" Lucas asked.
"Trust me, I am."
"Let's just hurry," Lucina said. She led the team out of the hospital and into the police van. They drove through the city, into Downtown, and to Funk Street. They made it to the church. Lucina looked back at the group. "Alright. We do not know how many people may be in this cult. Nor do we even know if they're stationed here. But stay on guard and guns at the ready. Understand."
"Yes, Chief!" the members said in unison.
"Good. Let's go." Lucina got out, followed by the others. They brought out their guns and walked to the church. They needed to step over rubble from the failed tearing down of the building. They entered the dark and ominous building.
"There's something about old abandoned churches that creeps me out," Ninten said as he gripped his gun harder and got closer to Claus.
"I hear you," Claus said. They walked further into the dark and dingy church. There wasn't any sound, which was what they expected.
"Maybe we jumped to conclusions…." Joker said from next to Lucina.
"I wouldn't say that…." A dark and gravelly voice said from somewhere within the church. That was when Lucina was snatched up into the air. She screamed and soon the scream was muffled before it just stopped existing. Everyone was looking up where she was taken.
"Maybe she's ok…." Ninten held hope. It started raining blood on them. "Maybe this is someone else's blood." Lucina's disembodied head fell to the ground. "Ok….yeah she's gone." Joker started shooting into the air.
"Run! They're here," Joker said. The group ran forward, ready to shoot if needed. They continued running but were forced to stop when they came across a sudden dead end.
"When did we sign up to run a maze?"
"When you decided to trespass in the land of The All-Father," the voice said once more. Something wrapped around Joker's leg. He looked down and saw that it was a sharp tail. The tail led into the darkness in front of them.
"Shit," Joker simply said before being dragged off and killed. The wall behind them collapsed into the ground. This allowed the four survivors to run deeper into the church.
"The hell is going on here!?" Claus yelled. That was suddenly when they blacked out from a powerful hit in the back of their heads.
Claus fluttered his eyes open and closed. His wrists and ankles were tense. His vision was blurry but as it got clearer and clearer he noticed he was in a dark room with dark-robed figures surrounding him. Ninten was also next to him. Ninten was sitting in a chair. He was still knocked out though. "Ahhh, Claus. The boy out for revenge. Became a detective huh?" the voice asked. Claus, who was dangling from chains that extended upward, struggled at the chains.
"SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD!" The large purple dragon, Ridley, landed on the ground and towered over Claus.
"As you wish." In one of Ridley's large hands was Joker's head. Ridley lifted it and looked into Joker's now lifeless eyes. "Forgive me, All-Father, I needed to dispose of trespassers."
"Screw your All-Father!"
"Now now Clausey, no need to be rude," A familiar voice said from one of the hooded figures. The one the voice came from stepped forward before taking his hood off. It was Lucas. "L-Lucas?"
"That's my name, don't wear it out."
"Wh-what're you doing?" Lucas slowly walked toward his twin.
"I'm doing what I want. I'm living the life I want. A life with no rules. No boundaries."
"So you joined a cult?" Lucas chuckled before stabbing Ridley in the chest.
"I am the cult." Ridley stared down at his lackey in betrayal. Ridley died quickly. Lucas looked over at his brother. "The All-Father is a stupid myth. His name is Giygas, and he doesn't try to be a hero. He's not who Ridley thought he was. Giygas is the liberator. He will rid the world of people like you."
"Like me!?"
"Hero. Do-gooder. Anything of the sort."
"I am not the most ideal hero."
"Oh, I know you're not. But you're still on the side of good. And thus….I must eradicate you for him."
"Lucas! I am your brother. Bad guys killed our mom! Why would you want to be bad!?"
"Hehe, have you ever found who killed mom?"
"No. I just got myself hurt." Lucas giggled.
"Poor thing she was. I told her about my idol, Giygas, hehe….she wasn't that big of a fan."
"No...you didn't."
"Oh yes, I did." Lucas stepped forward and grabbed Claus's chin. "Mom was a stepping stone for me. For me to become the ideal vessel for Giygas."
"Wh-what about Ness. He wouldn't like this side of me."
"That's what I thought. But….he vowed to always be by my side. Through thick and thin. Always…." Lucas snapped his fingers and Ness undid his hood. "Take Ninten. I'll handle my brother."
"Yes, Lucas." Ness walked forward and dragged Ninten away. Claus yelled after him but Ness didn't bother with actually hearing him. Ness dragged Ninten away.
"Bastard!" Claus yelled.
"Just be lucky I didn't make you watch your precious Ninty die."
"What happened to you Lucas. You were always kind-hearted. You would never do such bad things. Especially as bad as this."
"Oh, Clausey. We all have secrets we hide. We all have wants and desires we never show. I just found a way to do it. And don't even deny it, some part of you loves killing."
"Shut up."
"So defensive." Lucas took the knife from Ridley's chest and licked the blood. "Ahh dragon blood. So delicious." Lucas slowly looked at Claus. "Wonder if my twin's blood tastes like mine."
"You're sick."
"Oh Clausey, you're so adorable. I am not sick. I am thriving." Footsteps could be heard and when Lucas looked in the direction of them he saw Ness walking down with blood all over him.
"Ninten is gone," Ness said. He walked over and kissed Lucas's cheek.
"Thank you, deary." Lucas looked back down at Claus who was still trying to drain in the fact that his boyfriend was dead. Claus shakily looked up at the duo.
"I thought I knew you. Ninten was your friend. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU KILL HIM!"
"Giygas has need of him. Much like all the other deaths. Giygas needs them. And now….he calls for you, Claus. He needs your blood."
"Go ahead….just kill me already. I don't see the point anymore."
"I'm glad you're making this easy on me…" Lucas grabbed Claus's ginger hair and smiled. "I love you, Claus." Before saying anything more, Lucas rammed the knife into Claus's throat. Claus started dying instantly. Unable of speech. Lucas licked the blood on the knife and smiled. "So good…" Lucas dropped the knife and giggled as Claus bled out. Claus soon stopped moving and the giggle turned into a smile as Ness wrapped his arms around Lucas. "For Giygas."
