after a moment of standing there in silence, the person who held Lukas peered around carefully. they exhaled, relieved, and freed Lukas. the other person did the same. as soon as they were freed, Lukas, Petra and Jesse immediately backed up, drawing their swords. "woah, easy there." one guy spoke up, raising his hands up in defense. "we were just trying to save you from being fucking killed." the other spoke, raising his hands as well.

"by dragging us the second you see us and covering our mouths?!" Petra spoke harshly, waving around her sword. "even if it was just our mouths covered, there was a time where I couldn't breathe." she said, pointing her sword at the guy that held her. "I was trying to make sure you didn't escape." "and your best idea was to nearly kill me?!" "look, I'm sorry I didn't mean to nearly kill you, I apologize. I was trying to keep you from escaping and drawing attention to yourself."

"you should know not to stand in the middle of the open with all these alternates wandering around." the blonde guy spoke. "alternates?" Jesse echoed in confusion. "yeah.. the things that were on the broadcast that are out to kill people." the brunette said. "why are you confused? this is a very known thing."

"well, believe it or not we're not actually from here. we're from another world." Jesse started explaining, slowly lowering his sword. the two guys exchanged confused looks with each other before turning back. "are you high? there's no way you could be from another world." the blonde spoke.

"what, no. we're serious. we're just some friends that came from a place called Beacon Town and we went portal hopping and one of the portals led us here." Jesse explained.

the two looked at each other again. "can that happen to you when you're high? like imagine you're from a different world?" the brunette asked. the blonde shrugged. "not usually, but I wouldn't know. Jonah's the one that gets high a lot." the blonde answered. "dude, we're not high! we're telling the truth!" Lukas said, putting his sword back before reaching into his small satchel. "see look, this is where we're from." he said, showing the guys a picture of Beacon Town.

"holy shit.." the blonde muttered, observing the picture. "that's definitely not from around here." "no, and I've never heard of Beacon Town.." "see, now do you guys believe us?" Jesse sighed, putting away his sword, Petra doing the same. "a little.." the brunette said.

"okay, well how about we introduce ourselves. I'm Jesse and this is Lukas and Petra." Jesse said. "I'm Mark and this is Adam." the brunette said.

Mark wore a dark grey beanie that covered his brown hair. he had dark cyan eyes, safety pin earrings, freckles and a tooth gap. he wore a light grey hoodie and black pants with tall brown boots. Adam had fluffy blonde hair and blue eyes, with a white eye patch. he wore the hood of his black hoodie that had the same yellow "BPS'' embroidered in the corner. he wore jeans that flared out and tucked back into small boots that were opposite shades of brown.

the letters "BPS" on Adam's hoodies caught Jesse's eyes. he took a mental note of that because it felt important. Mark and Adam sized up the three before looking at each other. they seemed to have a conversation with each other through looks before they turned back. "follow us, we're going to take you guys back to my house." Adam said finally.

"wait, how do we know we can trust you guys?" Lukas questioned. "yeah how do we know this isn't a trap?" Petra pitched in. Adam frowned. "fine, stay here. be killed." "yeah in case you guys forgot what happened a few minutes ago, there's entities out to kill people." Mark said.

the three stayed silent. "fine, we'll go with you." Jesse said. "good. now, let's go." Adam said, fishing his keys out from his pocket.
