The Situation: Chapter 8

The situation

Chapter 8

"Lucas…Come here…Lucas…"

This was all Lucas could hear as he walked through a dark hallway. There were no lights or doors anywhere in the hallway. Lucas was positive he was dreaming. As he looked over his shoulder. He could not see anything other than darkness. He had no choice but to follow the voice that was calling his name and keep moving forward. However the hallway seemed endless and he didn't know where he would end up.

Lucas walked on with an uneasy feeling. The voice sounded familiar to him, but he was too scared to think straight, so he couldn't identify it because he couldn't concentrate. As he continued walking on the walls seemed to fade away. Lucas felt even more uneasy as he approached a door.

"Come in Lucas…" The voice echoed, louder than before.

Lucas grabbed the doorknob and slowly opened the door. His uneasy feelings went away as soon as he opened it.

On the other side of the door was a field full of sunflowers. They were as tall as the sky, which was a clear blue. Lucas could see the sun shining brightly on the flowers. A pathway split the flowers apart. Lucas walked on the grassy path. He then had a pretty good idea of who was calling him now.

As Lucas reached the end of the path, he saw a woman standing on the path. She had on a red dress and had golden brown hair. Next to her was a boy in green and white stripped pajamas. He had bright orange hair. Lucas didn't need to see the boy's face as he knew it was Claus.

And he knew that the woman was Hinawa, his mother.

She turned around. "Hello Lucas. It's been a while since we last spoke, hasn't it?" She greeted with a smile.

Lucas ran up to his mother and hugged her. She returned the hug. It wasn't often that she contacted him. As Claus normally contacted Lucas while he was awake, Hinawa contacted him while he was asleep. "It has been a while, about three months to be exact." He replied.

He then looked at Claus. Dressed in the pajamas he had while he was alive, Claus had his head down. Lucas wondered why Claus was in his dream, for Claus didn't contact Lucas in dreams as much as Hinawa.

"Mom, is everything all right?" He asked Hinawa. He knew she was always watching over him and his family.

"Sadly, things are not ok this time. We have a bit of a problem on our hands." She sounded serious, which made Lucas a little nervous.

"Now Claus and I have been watching you closely tonight. We both know you love Kumatora, but love is going to have to wait. Claus, show him the video."

Claus did not respond.

"Claus?"

Claus snored. It turned out he had fallen asleep.

"CLAUS!"

He jumped up. "Who? What?" He looked at his mother, who had a disapproving look on her face. He then noticed Lucas staring at him. "Sorry mom, but he took a while to get here." Claus stood up and picked up a strange box. Lucas noticed it was a television. They often came in "happy boxes" that the pigmask had given out. He didn't have one, but he didn't want one either.

"Look at what we found." Claus said as he turned on the device.

The device started off with nothing but a black screen. After a few seconds, a giant capsule appeared. Lucas recognized the capsule right away. It was the absolutely safe capsule. Lucas and friends had trapped Porky in the capsule. It wasn't how they planned to defeat the pig king, but he couldn't get out so they left it alone.

Just then a Porky bot, a mechanical version of Porky, walked up to the capsule.

"Listen to this." Claus said.

"Master Porky, we have a problem." The robot said to the capsule.

"Well don't keep an old man waiting." An old voice said from the capsule. It was no one other than Porky, the old, dethroned pig king.

"We have finished your time travel device." The robot explained. "With it we can go back in time and prevent Lucas and his meddlesome friends from trapping you."

"That's not bad news! That's the opposite of bad news! Bring it so we may infiltrate the past and ambush Lucas at his weakest state! Hahahahaha! *cough* *cough* *gasp* *wheeze* *wheeze*" The evil man exclaimed.

"However" The robot continued. "A fox came and stole the device. Somehow it managed to get back to the nowhere islands and it doesn't have wings."

The king froze. "Porky bot 0, tell me you are kidding."

"I wish I could master, but I am not. It was a silver fox wearing socks. I do not know how it managed to escape New Pork."

There was silence for several seconds.

The ex-king broke the silence. "Get any troops that still serve me, head to the nowhere islands, and GET THAT FOX!" he cried.

"But master, what if we run into Tazmily's defense force ?"

"I don't care if you ran into the chosen four!" Porky yelled. "Just GET THAT DAMN FOX! *cough* *gasp* *wheeze*"

"Y-yes master Porky, right away!" Porky bot 0 ran off.

Claus then turned off the television.

"Lucas, Porky is attempting to change the past so you never pulled the final needle!" Claus exclaimed. "You have to find that fox first!"

"I agree with Claus." Hinawa said. "I don't know who the chosen four are, but Porky seems to hate them. Perhaps they may be able to assist you if you find and asked them. As for the fox, perhaps the fox at our graves might be the one you are looking for."

"Mom…Claus…promise me you will help me when I need it. I don't think I can do this alone." Lucas was shivering.

"Bro, you're not alone." Claus said. "We're still with you in here." He pointed to his heart.

"As long as you keep us in your heart, we'll always be able to help you." Hinawa said. "We'll tell your father what's about to happen. If we don't he might not let you leave to find the fox."

"Dad will be a little sad that you have to leave again." Claus said "If we don't tell him he might have another breakdown."

"I'll round up everyone tomorrow and we'll head over to Sunflower hill." Lucas told the both of them. "We won't let Porky get away with this!"

"Good, now go my son, and save us once again from the world's demise!" Hinawa exclaimed.

"You can do it Lucas!" Claus also exclaimed.

Everything started going black. Lucas shielded his eyes. When he opened them again, he was still in Kumatora's room. He looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Lucas looked at Kumatora. Oddly, her white robe was on the floor. Lucas wondered how her robe had gotten off. He gently climbed out of bed and picked up her robe. He gently folded it up and set it gently by her. He looked at Boney, who was still asleep at the foot of the bed. Lucas gently patted Boney on the head and headed towards the door. He glanced back at Kumatora, getting a good look at her sexy undergarments.

"I still don't know what she meant by pure." He though. Then he snuck out of the room.

He walked down to the main room where the party was held. To his surprise, it looked like there was no party at all. Lucas could see ghost carrying out guest and their things. Lucas thought that the ghost must have cleaned up and put in charge of getting the guest to leave. He chuckled at this, for Kumatora often described them as "freeloaders".

He walked back to her room. He gently shook her to wake her up.

"mmm…" she moaned. "Lucas…"

Lucas' eyes widened. She was dreaming about him. Him of all people. As much as he wanted to find out what she was dreaming, his next adventure had to begin now.

"Kumatora…" He whispered in her ear.

"Oh Lucas…" she moaned again.

"Kumatora wake up." He shook her a little faster.

"Come on Lucas, don't slow down." She giggled in her sleep.

Lucas wondered what she was dreaming about. "Kuma, wake up!"

Her eyes opened slowly. "Huh? What?"

"You were moaning in your sleep."

Kumatora blushed really hard. "Sorry, I was just having…a very good dream. Anyway, what's up?"

"I have to talk to you, Duster and Boney. It can't wait so I need you to hurry up and get dressed.

"Oh, all right." She yawned. She got up out of bed. She then noticed her robe was on the bed.

"Lucas how did my robe get off my body?" She gave him a suspicious look.

"I don't know, it was off when I woke up." He told her.

She shrugged it off and went into the closet. Lucas then tried to wake Boney up. As the boy shook his dog, he noticed Kumatora humming some sort of tune. He didn't know why, but it sounded familiar.

Boney sat up and yawned loudly. "Woof! (Morning Lucas!)" He greeted.

"Morning Boney, we have a lot to do today." Lucas greeted him.

"Woof? (What about?)"

"I'll explain everything once Duster is up. Now stay here for a moment." Lucas then went towards the door Duster was sleeping in.

Lucas noticed Duster was still in the bed in his clothes. Lucas knew Duster was a heavy sleeper. Lucas sucked in his breath.

"DUSTER WAKE UP!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

Almost immediately, Duster jumped up and fell out of the bed. "Ok, I'm up, no need to shout!" he cried.

"Sorry, but there's something I need to discuss with you, now hurry up!" He walked out, leaving Duster on the floor.

-A few minutes later-

As the four walked out of the castle with their belongings, Lucas lead the team towards Sunflower hill.

"So Lucas, exactly what do you have to tell us?" Kumatora asked, dressed in her normal blue robe, pink shoes combo.

"Mom and Claus spoke to me last night in my dream." Lucas spoke quietly, almost in a whisper. He had put on his clothes from yesterday.

There was silence as they walked along.

"So what did she say?" It was Duster who broke the silence. He still had on his clothes from yesterday.

"She said Porky's planning to use a time machine to get free and prevent me from pulling the final needle. He was going to send a Proky bot." Lucas felt angry at Porky. He didn't want anyone else to go through what he did.

"Woof! Woof! (Oh no he won't! We'll stop him before he gets the chance!)" Boney barked wildly.

"Mom said that a silver fox wearing socks stole the machine from Porky and is on the nowhere islands somewhere. It could be the fox at Sunflower hill."

"Well that saves us a trip to New Pork City and back." Kumatora cheered.

The four finally reached Sunflower hill. As Lucas had thought, the silver socked fox was under the sunflowers. This time, it had a shiny silver object in its mouth.

"Mom also said something about the chosen four. It seems Porky hates them as much as he hates us." Lucas said as he walked up to the fox. "Mom said we should ask them for help."

"But we already have the device right here!" Kumatora explained. "We just need to smash it, right?"

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this." Duster said.

"Excuse me, Mr. Fox?" Lucas asked.

The fox looked at him in disbelief.

"Sorry, I mean Mrs. Fox. Do you mind if we have that device?"

The fox dropped the device, smiled at Lucas, and ran off.

The device was shaped like a Mr. Saturn. It had three buttons, a red one, a green one, and a blue one. It had two dials next to a set of numbers. Lucas assumed that they were to change the year.

However the year on the device said 199x.

The device started to glow.

The four jumped back. Lucas then realized that it was activated. "Guys, if we don't get that machine, it may land up where an evil person can use to destroy us all!" He exclaimed.

The four then rushed to the object. As soon as Lucas picked it up, Flint came rushing towards the four heroes.

"Lucas!" He called. "Hinawa and Claus told me everything! I'm here to help!"

As Flint caught up to the four, the time machine started to make a loud sound. At that moment, the machine let off an enormous bright light. Lucas and company had to shield their eyes. Lucas wondered where the time machine would take them. He suddenly felt a cold breeze.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he noticed clouds going up in the sky.

"Why are the clouds going up towards the sky?" he asked.

"Lucas I don't think they're going up!" Kumatora cried. "I think we're going down!"

Lucas looked down. Sure enough, They were falling towards a house. Lucas closed his eyes and prepared for the worst. "It's been nice knowing you all." Lucas cried.

Before anyone could reply, they all hit the ground. Luckily, everyone was in one piece. However Lucas couldn't stand up. He was slowly losing consciousness. As he struggled to stay awake, he heard voices.

"I bet ten bucks it's just some crazy fans wanting our autographs." A male voice said.

Lucas heard a door open. He couldn't see anything but a small road.

"Oh my god they're hurt!" cried a female voice.

"I wonder how they got here?" asked another male voice. This one sounded nerdy. "They weren't here a few moments ago when we arrived. Perplexing indeed..."

"Let's take them inside, they look badly damaged." A third male voice said. This one sounded more serious than the others.

Lucas felt something grab him as he closed his eyes. Lucas then lost consciousness.

The End?
