Chapter 4 - Planning

Rocket, Boombox and Sword were all preparing for the meet up, grabbing their weapons for protection in case anything bad happened. Sword was wondering what plans they'd talk about, maybe traps? Most likely, but that was an assumption. But the problem was, barely any of them knew how to create traps, yeah they had powers but they haven't made anything by hand before, the only person they know who has is Subspace.
Boombox broke the silence that had been filling the air, the only noises were the packing.

"Is everyone ready? I'm pretty sure I'm all set to go."

Zipping was heard, it was coming from both of their backpacks that they are all using to carry their stuff.

"Yeah, I'm ready."

Rocket responded, turning his attention to his boyfriend, Sword.

"Are you ready too, Sword?"

"Yeah, I am."

"Okay then, let's go."

Boombox told the both of them as they all started heading out the door. Sword was the one to make sure to lock it when they headed out. Crunching was heard beneath them as they walked, they looked around their surroundings, making sure to keep an eye. Sword was the most one that was looking around though, he wanted to be more defensive than them both, he wanted to protect them, and he knew they both wanted to protect him as well. Sword gasped and jumped a bit when he heard a rustle.

"Guys, I heard something, did you hear it?"

Rocket and Boombox were more paid attention to the journey than looking around though, so they both responded with a "No" and carried on.

Sword kept trying to keep an eye, he knew what he heard, he was guessing it was the monster, but he also thought it could just be an animal, he convinced himself that is not very likely, he just believed it was most likely the monster.
Sword felt a little paranoid because of the thought and decided to speak up.

"Hey guys? Can we pick up the pace a little bit?"

"Isn't the pace we have already enough?"

Boombox questioned, looking behind him and at Sword.

"I mean, yeah, I'm just a little paranoid.."

Sword admitted, he didn't want anything bad to happen if he didn't say something, so he might as well just admit it, even if he felt defensive.

"Yeah, we can pick up the pace, Hun."

Rocket told his paranoid boyfriend who looked behind himself to look at his boyfriend, Rocket.

"Thanks, Rocket."

Sword said, smiling at his sweet and loving boyfriend, now blushing a bit.

"Okay then, let's pick up the pace."

Boombox said, they were all now picking up the pace at Swords request. Sword looked behind him, still a little paranoid but to also keep watch. He swore he saw something move in that bush, but he decided to not really say anything because they were already picking up the pace, he wouldn't want the pace to go more faster because of his paranoia.

He swore he saw white circles in the dark.
___________________________________________
Boombox knocked on the door, waiting a couple of seconds before the door was opened. The trio went inside, seeing everything was dark, the only light that emits the room is the candle Medkit holds.

"Follow me you 3, we are heading to my room."

They didn't say anything and just followed him, the clicks and clacks of the marble floors under their shoes every time they walked was echoing throughout the building. Medkit opened a room door, Shuriken was sat by a candle placed on the floor in the middle of the room and there was another guest, someone they all knew.

"Hey slow pokes, about time you showed up!"

Subspace grinned at the trio, knowing the name Subspace gave them would make them mad.

"Nice to see you too, Subspace.."

Rocket responded in a deep annoyed tone, they didn't like Subspace because he was always ranting about how he's better than everyone at anything, he's also very rude and sassy to everyone he talks to.

"So, you 3 may be confused as to why Subspace is here, I invited him because he could help us, as I hate to admit it myself.."

Medkit said walking towards the spot where Shuriken and Subspace were sat.

"Come, sit down, we shall discuss what we shall do to keep each other safe."

Medkit patted the ground, the 3 knew what Medkit meant and they sat around the candle too, joining the others. Rocket was sat next to Subspace, which they didn't like so they scooted away from them a little bit.

"Wow, Rocket, a bit rude much, hmm?"

Subspace commented to Rocket moving away from him, he raised his eyebrow.

"Shut up, Subspace, you know I don't like you."

"Aww, that makes me sad, Rocket, I'm gonna cry."

Subspace used his finger to trail it down his cheek, indicating it was a fake tear.

"Can you two stop fighting? This is serious!"

Medkit complained, looking annoyed, mostly at Subspace though.

"Ugh, fine, you're so boring you know that, Medkit?"

Subspace said to Medkit in an annoyed tone, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, don't care, anyways-"

"What is that?"

Boombox cutted Medkit off, looking into a dark corner, seeing some robot with orange glow.

"Oh, that? That's my beautiful creation, Biograft, say hi, Biograft!"

"HI."

"Isn't it fascinating? Surely something you could never make! Ha!"

Subspace laughed, but stopped when Medkit showed his anger when he loudly clapped his hands to get all of their attention.

"Can we please be serious now?! This is a life or death topic, I would like for it to be taken seriously!"

"Yeah, be serious guys!"

Shuriken said, showing an angry face that turned out to be cute.

There was silence, they waited for someone to start the topic, to which Medkit gladly obliged.

"Thank you, now, let's start talking about how we can keep ourselves safe, we could start by making traps around the place, small alarms will go off when those traps are set off, this is why I invited Subspace, as you all know, he created a robot by hand before, so he should have no problem making us some traps."

There was silence, Medkit allowing anyone to ask a question to break the silence, but no one did, so he continued talking.

"We also need people to keep watch overnight, is there anyone willing to do that?"

Sword raised his hand, so did Subspace and Shuriken.

"Ah, Shuriken, I don't think-"

Medkit was then again, cut off for the millionth time by Shuriken, who protested.

"Yes, I can! I'm not weak, Medkit!"

Medkit sighed, regretting what he's about to say.

"..Fine."

Shuriken raised up their arms in joy as they made a "yay!" noise.

"Subspace, aren't you going to be doing the traps? Why are you participating for night watch?"

Medkit asked, they were confused as to why Subspace would volunteer to two things.

"I can do traps and watch, because I'm just cool like that."

Subspace pointed to themself and grinned, seeming confident in themself.

"Yeah okay, so I'm guessing you and Rocket will do the traps?"

Medkit pointed at Boombox and Rocket, to which Subspace had an idea and spoke up.

"Oh wait, I can help them make traps, this is why I'm cool like that, Medkit, you just don't see that in me, it makes me sad."

Subspace put on a fake sad face, wanting to annoy Medkit.

"Sure, fine."

Medkit responded, putting their hand up to their face to cover it in annoyance, now starting to regret inviting Subspace even more than he did before.

"Alright then, let's get started, shall we team?"

Subspace got up, grabbing onto Boombox and Rocket, pulling them up into a hug.

"Ugh!, let me go, Subspace!"

Rocket said while struggling to get out of the tight grip Subspace was holding them both in while Boombox just said "Sure."

"Alright then, let's do this."

Medkit said without enthusiasm, as he wasn't that type of person.

"Yeah!"

Except Shuriken, he was.
