Oh, everyone...!  It looks like something strange is happening, after all.  I don't want to say I told you so, but... well, I did tell you so.  Be careful if you're going outside, alright?  Until we sort out what's happening, it'd probably be for the best if everyone kept to themselves.  After all... Wouldn't it be just like the town to trick us into hurting each other again?

[Lucas laughs, less nervous than such a laugh ought to be.  It's slightly unnerving.]

If, you know, the doubles are really the real people just acting different because the town has brainwashed them... Then, if we don't stop to think... Well, I don't want to think what might happen.  Nobody wants to hurt their friends, right?  We can't just believe the people in the pods because they're more... accurate.  It would be just like the the town to pull something so awful!

Anyway, if you're hurt at all, please call me!  I'll be right there to heal you.  That's what I do best...  Please, don't hesitate!

[action]
[And Lucas can be found in his garden, tending to his plants with a smile on his face.  ...He's ripping them out.  It was fall, after all.  They were dying.]

[action 2, first for Rainbow Dash, but open afterwards for anyone]
[Naturally, in the middle of his dead garden sits a small pod about the size of a child or a young teenager.]

[action 3]
PK Flash!

PSI Counter Alpha!

[The explosive green light reflects against the shimmering shield, bouncing back with enough speed to catch nearly anyone off-guard; Lucas, though, is intimately familiar with his own battling techniques.  A flick of his stick and the green light harmlessly diffuses into flashing sparks.]

You won't get away with this!

That's what I ought to say!  I'm the real one!

Liar!  You're nothing like me!

Because you're a fake!  You attacked first!

You ran at me with your stick!  Now stop pretending! 

[The two psychic boys continue to duke it out in the front yard.  Lucas doesn't fight too often, but it becomes clear from this battle that he is much more well-practiced than might have been expected.  PSI after PSI is flung back and forth and met with counter or shield; swings to the head are dodged easily; flying leaps result in evenly matched stand-offs as the boys bounce against each other again and again.  At one point, one of the Lucases backflips, collecting a massive amount of PSI power in his foot.  The drive downwards is met with an equally powerful blast of PSI upwards from the defending Lucas; the resulting explosion sends both of them flying.  ...This seems to be a signal for a brief respite.  One of the Lucases certainly could use some help.  His doppelganger was every bit his equal.]

[He'll shake his head, no.]

It's not that; he got away and we should find him. I need your help, Lucas.

Oh, no!

[...The clone doesn't sound very surprised, though.]

I knew you wouldn't be able to manage it alone. Alright, we've got to go find him, then!

[And the clone will head straight for the front door.]

sorry it's so slow.

[And Holland will make sure to walk in front of him.]

He just caught me off guard.

It's alright. I shouldn't have trusted so much in you, anyway; these kinds of things should be done --

[And then a tea table walks through the front door.]

and here too

[Nothing to do but stop. He's more curious than anything over what Lucas had planned.]

No problem!

[And the fake Lucas runs forward excitedly.]

Oh! It's the ta --

[And the fake Lucas is squirted with a massive cloud of stinkjuice from the bug clinging to the underside of the table.]

Aaaaugh, gross!

[Hoi, Lucas. You could have told him. He might have gotten a bit on him.]

No worries!

[Whether or not the Netherlands does, the next thing that comes through the doors is a flying baseball bat. Lucas has very good aim from a few months worth of monster fighting and the clone is busy screaming about the burning in his eyes.

It goes down.]

[O. . .kay. Later, he'll ask Lucas how this is better than just shooting the clone, but for now he's trying not to breathe in whatever that terrible smell is.]

. . . is that it?

[Lucas covers his nose a little, too.]

I think we should think of somewhere to keep him. He's not dead, after all.

Somewhere he can't get out. . .

[He'll think for a few moments.]

There's a storage closet in the pharmacy.

From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
I, um. Think I could probably blast my way through a door pretty easily.

[Lucas is almost apologetic.]

...Do you have any sleeping solutions in the pharmacy, Mr. Netherlands?

[Just. . . blinking. Sheesh, Lucas, just how powerful are you.]

. . . that's a good idea. I'm sure there's something.

[He'll pick up the fake Lucas. . . despite the smell. Holland coughs a little.]

[Lucas will reach up and try and hold his nose for him. ...Not that he's anywhere near tall enough.]

...Sorry...

[He'll pat Lucas' shoulder with one hand.]

It's good that you made a plan. It worked.


[Now to take this fake to the pharmacy.]

[And away they go, bearing the body on a stretcher. ...Walking tea table. The pharmacy isn't too far, hopefully.]
