They look up at the sky when the sound of blaring music filled their ears. A ship flies overhead. Pigmasks.
"After it!" Lucas exclaims. Duster pulls out his Rope Snake and latches it on. Duster grabs Kumatora's hand and they begin to ascend.
Using one hand to cling to Duster, Kumatora grabs Pollyanna's wrist and Pollyanna holds Lucas close. The Masked Man open the door of the Ship. He was silent. He sways the Rope snake. Causing them to fall but all thinking Quickly grab each other. Kumatora clings to Duster's leg and was holding Pollyanna's ankle.. Pollyanna held Lucas's hands. "I'm slipping!" he shrieks.
"Then stop slipping!" Kumatora yells. "I can't!" Pollyanna tightens her grip yet her "brother's" sweaty palms still slip. He falls into a sunflower field,screaming. Pollyanna stared at her hands and shouted. "Drop me!" Hearing this Kumatora tighten her grip on the child.
"Let me down! My brother fell! Lucas!" She kicked herself free. She too fell into the sea of Sunflowers. "Idiot!" Kumatora yelled at her. Kumatora didn't last much longer she and Duster fell as well.
Duster felt himself being carried by something small.
He could feel Hot spring water get splashed on him. He opened his eyes.
"Ugh."
"Are you broken?" a voice asked.
"Hello. Did you help me?" The thief asked.
"Man fall from sky. Like bird." He marveled at the thing. It was no bigger than his foot, it had a antennae and a huge nose. This thing is a Mr. Saturn.
"I'm Duster, I guess i'm okay."
"Hello Dust-dust."
Duster pulled himself to his feet, He was in a village. He assumed that this thing carried him here. "Have you seen a girl. Yay high?" He gestured his hand towards his chest. "Pink hair, blue coat and brown boots?" The Mr. Saturn shook it's head(?)
"A boy with blond hair? Yay high?" He put his hand next to his naval. "Red and yellow shirt?"
The same response.
"How about a girl? Near same height. Purple t-shirt. Brown boots?"
"Blue in hair?"
"Yeah! Is she here? You know Pollyanna?"
"Girl not here. We close."
Duster was confused. They used to have idle chitchat before this whole crazy ordeal and she would've been squealing on how cute this thing is. He heard some voices.
"No sign of the 3rd needle."
Pigmasks?
"We could try underground. King P never liked this place anyway. Tear it up."
They can't do that!
"Hey pigs!" He said.
The pigmasks turned to Duster.
"Get outta here!" He defied.
"Get him! He's with those kids!" The green one yelled to the Pink ones.
"Let's play." He says taking his fighting stance.
"Play fun, but not playtime." says the next to him. Duster charges at the Pigmask and kicks him hard. He prefers to use his feet. He lands a few hits but when he takes out 2, 5 come out of the nearby huts.
Soon Clash! Duster fell over unconscious, the Mr. Saturn that he met tried to protect the incapacitated thief but made a noise of surprise when the green pigmask kicked him away like he was a soccer ball.
Kumatora groaned. She opened her eyes and saw the 3rd Magypsy. "Oh good. You're awake. I was starting to get worried, your highness. That was a nasty fall."
"I'm no highness, Don't call me that."
"You never liked that, Kumi. You never told us why. We have little time left together, mind sharing?"
"I don't like that princess stuff! I don't like titles, I don't want to be Princess Kumatora! It's a bundle of stress"
"What about the boy?"
"What about him?"
"You aren't the only one dealing with stress. He has to pull these needles first or BAD things will happen and he knows that he could be letting his friends and loved ones down. Which he isn't. Is that not stressful? No child should have to go through that."
Kumatora thinks. Yeah, Lucas has had a pretty tough time.
She nods, Then it hits her. Where are they?! "Hey the rest of the gang, They haven't shown up yet have they?" The magypsy shakes her head. "I hope they survived the fall." Kumatora says. "I'm sure they did. Destiny and Fate are odd ones".
Pollyanna thought she was blind. She felt her eyes open, but saw darkness. She moved her sore arms to her face and wipes her eyes. They were covered in dirt, She sat up and took her surroundings to mind.
Will i ever wake up somewhere normal? Or at least not in pain. She rubbed the sore spots she landed on. Lucas! Oh man! Is he alright? Is he nearby?
She doesn't get a response, so she takes it into her own hand. She saw her screws were loose. She saw a bag. She grabbed it. "Please be the right bag. Please."
She says aloud. She pulls out a screwdriver. "Yes!" she says. After tightening the screws and bandaging her wounds she gotten from the fall, a hand was held out to her.
A boy in a baseball cap was there, offering his hand. He was about her age.
She looks at the boy with confusion. "My arm's getting tired." He says. It's the voice!
She takes the hand. Once up she could clearly see the boy. He wore a shirt that looked like Lucas's but A deep shade of navy instead of Red. He has black hair and wasn't alone. Behind his were two other kids. "Nice to see you. You've become strong."
The girl about a year older than Lucas said. Next to her was a boy with blonde hair but unlike Lucas. His hair was a Bowl-cut. He had glasses and was wearing a blue-green suit despite the warmness. He seemed the other boy's age.
He raised his hand and said. "Nice to finally see you." "You sound like the voices. Who are you?" Pollyanna's curiosity piqued, no it's been piqued for a while now. The girl motioned for her to follow them.
When she hesitated, The boy with a baseball cap grabbed her hand and pulled her along. "I'm Paula. The one with a cap is Ness. And the one with glasses is Jeff." She said as Ness guided them through the Yellow Field. "I wish that i could've said goodbye at least." Pollyanna said out-of-the-blue. She picked a Sunflower and held it. Paula looked sadly at Ness who shared the same look to Pollyanna, who still walking forward, let out a bitter laugh. "It's sad. I never knew my real mom, and because i didn't think ahead I lost someone who was like one to me."
She felt the seeds and then the petals "Then because I wasn't there, One of my best friends,more of a brother, yeah, my brother ran off. Then I stood up for my other brother and was kidnapped. Now i don't know where he is." She closed her eyes and slowly advanced her pace slowing. The other three were silent.
It was the flowers, too many bad memories swimming with the good ones,drowning them in sorrow. "Hey! You shouldn't mope about your family! Lucas is fine! And stay away from the bad memories!"Ness slapped the Sunflower out of her hand and held her by the shoulders. "Now You'll thank us later" They stopped at a cliff's edge. Pollyanna made a noise of confusion and felt gravity take hold of her. Apolgetic looks were blurred as her world went black.
Lucas stirred but his eyes refused to open, until..""Lucas! C'mon Are ya gonna sleep forever?" A familiar voice called bouncing next to him. He shot up and saw Claus!
"Claus! You're okay! We-" Tears of excitement roll off his cheeks. Then Claus yelled "Race ya!" Then he ran off. "No! Come back!" Lucas, ignoring the pain from the fall, dashed after the elder twin. When he came at a fork in the flowers he could hear voices.
"Lucas, come here."
He flaked right in the direction of the voice. He saw his mother.. "MOM!" his smile spread more if possible. He ran teary-eyed to his mother. He dived over the cliff, wanting to hug her. He wanted to feel her comfort him by running her fingers through his hair.. But yelped when he wasn't caught by her loving arms. He felt numb, but he could feel himself land on someone. Then it all went Black.
