After falling out of the sky, Lucas and Boney landed in the sunflower field near their house. They didn't know how they got here, but how was Lucas going to tell his dad and Rosella's parents what happened?
Boney barked into the distance.
Lucas got up. "Huh?! What is it, Boney?"
The two of them saw the ghost of Hinawa.
"Mom..." Lucas cried. "What do I do?! I've already lost you, I can't lose anyone else in my family! And I definitely can't lose—"
Hinawa's ghost started walking away.
Lucas chased after it. "No, come back!" He cried, "Please..."
He sighed, before realizing he was back in Tazmily.
"Wait, how did I get here?" He looked around.
Pierre and Bianca rushed to Lucas.
"Lucas!" Bianca called.
"Where's Rosella?!" Pierre asked worriedly.
Lucas didn't know what to say. Should he tell him that Rose was kidnapped by Claus? How would her parents react to something like this? He started sobbing.
"What's wrong?!" Bianca pulled Lucas into a hug.
"She's not dead, is she?!" Pierre asked, even more worriedly.
Lucas shook his head, still crying.
Boney whined and tried to cheer him up by nuzzling into him and licking him.
Flint heard all this and rushed outside.
"Lucas!" He shouted. "What happened?!" He rushed to Lucas's side.
"Rose got kidnapped..." Lucas finally spoke up.
"What?!" Pierre said angrily.
"By whom?!" Bianca asked.
"Claus..." Lucas answered.
"You found Claus?!" Flint asked, his eyes widening.
"But he was different!" Lucas answered. "He was turned into some sort of killing machine!"
Pierre's face went pale as Lucas explained the situation. Bianca was the first to notice and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Sweetie...? What's wrong...?"
Pierre's silence turned to rage.
"He promised..."
"What?!" Flint whipped his head around to face his best friend.
Pierre punched a wall. "HE PROMISED HE'D LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS IF I DID AS HE SAID! I...I FEEL SO STUPID!"
Flint's eyes widened. "You..."
Pierre hung his head guiltily. "I'm so sorry..."
Flint fell silent.
"Don't apologize to my dad," Lucas piped up angrily, tears still in his eyes. "Apologize to Rose! Your daughter was kidnapped by a brainwashed version of my twin brother!"
Flint put a hand on Lucas's shoulder to calm him down. "Did you...know that the Masked Man was Claus?"
Pierre nodded.
Bianca looked away. "What do we do...?"
"Well, I'm not just gonna stand there and let Porky do what he wants with Rose," Lucas said. "I'm going to round up my friends and try to rescue her again!"
Flint's eyes widened. "Lucas, wait! I—"
Bianca sighed and smiled a bit. "Remind you of someone?"
Flint sighed and nodded. "Yeah..."
