Cannibros part two!

@angry-trashcan and I worked together again for part two of this <3 and how Wars is handling everything that's going on, spoilers its not good <3 It's got the same warnings for part one and this time its 2.6k words

The salt did little to ease War’s nerves as he watched on. The scene being branded into his memory with a hot iron. The noises of ripping flesh and bones breaking filling his ears, the smell of blood overwhelming his senses. “What is happening…”

Twilight stood from the body, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “Woulda been better if it wasn’t so cold.”

"Twi, I mean this in the kindest way possible. What the fuck was that. That was a person. now they are a pulp"

War’s expression was unmatched in that moment. What was his friend thinking? Could he even call Twilight his friend anymore after everything? No, he can’t be so quick to throw everything away. Even if there wasn’t anything left by then? “... is it always this gruesome?”

“No, we don’t always let Twi at them. Sometimes we take them back to the house.” Sky explained, finally loosing his hold on him.

“To… to our house?”

“What other house, dumbass?” Sage hissed out, turning to leave the alleyway.

“What…what do you do with them there..?” Warrior’s words were weak and stuttery as he followed.

“You can figure that one out.” Warriors took a moment. Can he? What does that mean?

“Do you sell them? Like I mean [name] mentioned ‘organ donors’ are a thing here. Is it just forced organ donoring?”

Sage’s unimpressed side-eye and Sky’s muffled laughter was telling enough that that was a wrong answer, but what would be the right one? Sage likes to cook… and he - oh, oh, OH.

“...”

“Is it the reason why… oh goddesses… is it the reason why you were so on edge when [name] found the ‘beef’..?”

Sage didn’t look over at him, “Yeah, ‘beef’ was a strong word for that.”

Warriors looked like he was going to puke, all color leaving his face at the realization. “Oh, how… how long..”

“Long enough. You’ve had it enough, seem to like it too. Always eat every last bit.”

His knees got weaker with every word, car nearly in sight thank the golden three. “Why.. why do you..?”

“Why do you think?” Twilight cut him off. “It’s easier to hide like this.”

“I wouldn’t go that far, farm boy.”

“Watch it.”

“Well even if the rancher won’t tell you the reason he likes it so much, he is right that it’s easier to hide.”

Sky’s more upbeat tone is the most unsettling thing about this, Sage seems fitting for the lack of a better word, Twilight has the wolf so it’s not out of character, but Sky? He feels so wrong.

“We don’t need to waste any energy finding somewhere to hide the corpse! So why try anything worse, this isn’t Hyrule where we could dump bodies without a thought…”

How is he getting cheerier?? “I still don’t get why Twilight just eats them right then and there its… disturbing.”

“I don’t like waitin’.” He shrugged. “And when they find the body it looks like a wolf attack, or so the news reports say. They been thinkin’ theres a wolf on the loose in the city. Got outta the zoo or somethin’.”

The car doors opened and they took their previous seats. Sage took back Twi’s seasonings, giving him a look once more for only using the salt before closing the glove box. A silence fell as Sky started the engine and pulled onto the road.

“So… if I can ask one more question…”

“You’re running out of questions.” Sage shot back.

“Sorry, but. Why was Twilight trying to kiss Sky earlier exactly…?”

The sudden jolt of Sky slamming the breaks and pulling to the side of the road shocked everyone within the car, the knight’s patience clearly having been pushed far past breaking point by that final question.

“I DON’T KNOW. I DON’T KNOW ALRIGHT? I DON’T KNOW WHY HE TRIED TO KISS ME. AND I DON'T LIKE THAT HE DID TRY. I WANT ANSWERS. WE AREN’T MOVING TILL I KNOW.”

The silence seemed to only irritate him further, with how the two that have to know something about the incident staying mute and looking to there sides to avoid answering him. Assuming that Sky won’t hold onto his promise, and assuming wrong.

“JUST. TELL. ME.”

“Do I actually getta explain myself this time?” Twilight mumbled, still looking out the window.

“What the fuck does that mean?” Sage hissed, not looking back to him.

“You wouldn’t let me talk earlier, can I now?”

“What else is there to say, Twi?! You were trying to kiss him!”

“I was tryin’ to-”

“TO KISS HIM!” Sage turned back to him, his face red.

“I WASN’T TRYIN’ TO KISS HIM!”

“CAN SOMEONE JUST ANSWER MY DAMN QUESTION?!” Sky yelled out, hushing the argument.

“I was tryin’ to fuckin’ smell your breath for alcohol! Fuck!” Twilight sat back in a huff, crossing his arms.

Sage squinted his eyes, “Convent.”

“Why would I fuckin’ kiss him?! I have someone to kiss!”

“SHUT UP. BOTH OF YOU SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.”

Again the knight’s outburst silenced the car, the impact of his first-ever swear slamming into them. After a brief moment, Sage started to laugh while Twilight had a far stare and a red face. The weight of what he just said seemed to embarrass him slightly as his face also reddened and he stuttered his next sentence.

“...please, Twilight, please just explain.”

“It’s like a sniffer dog… the wolf…”

Sky’s face morphed into one of despair as he thought over the implications of that, wanting nothing more than to leave the conversation now.

“... like a sniffer dog???”

“Yeah… like a sniffer dog. How they can sniff out drugs and alcohol on people. And find missin’ folks. I was tryin’ to see if there was alcohol on ya breath.”

Sky looked to him through the mirror, “...And was there?”

Twilight met his gaze, “No, no there wasn’t any.”

Sage laughed even louder this time. “You- you were drunk off of nothing?!”

Sky’s face turned a darked red as he put the car in drive. “Lets go home.” He mumbled a few things under his breath as he pulled onto the road.

“So you can get drunk on rootbeer again?”

“I thought it was alcoholic!”

“So clearly even thinking of alcohol can get you drunk, nice to know…”

“SAGE!”

Sky’s mild embarrassment was now full on mortification as the weight of this settled in, is he really that much of a lightweight? To get placebo drunk? Sage’s laughter didn’t make it any easier to cope with it, less with the promise of it happening again.

“... how are you all so upbeat..?”

Twilight looked over to him, “Whatcha mean by that?”

“...you” He pointed to Sky, “Just killed a man. And you,” he pointed to Twilight, “Just ate a man.” He shuddered a bit before pointing to Sage. “And you… you orchestrated it all.”

Sage looked back at him through a mirror, “And?”

“And?”

“And we did it to take care of a threat. Why would we not be happy that a threat is now dealt with?”

“...He was just a coffee shop worker…”

“He was a threat.”

“Did [name] even know what he was called?”

“... doesn’t matter. He was a threat.”

“You killed a, what, young adult you thought was a threat, when he wasn’t.”

War’s had to take a moment for that to settle within his mind, for it to really sink in. with sage judging him the whole time, waiting and watching for him to slip up or make a fatal mistake.

“Did you even know his name? If he had a family, A LIFE??”

“Even if he did, he doesn’t anymore. It’s already done.”

“Are you saying his life didn’t matter?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

Warriors sat back in shock at that. “So whos lives do matter to you? Does any life matter to you? Or could anyone be your next meal?”

Sage turned around in his seat, eyes boring into him. “My family matters. Don’t you fucking forget that soldier. And if anything happens to them. You’re next.”

Warriors swallowed, looking back out the window as they pulled into the garage.

“I wouldn’t dare to hurt any of them. Before you arrived they were MY family anyway.”

“... what was that captain? That sounded like the last wishes of a delusional bastard.”

“I… I didn’t say a thing.”

“Good.”

His fear seemed to thicken the air they - or maybe just he - were breathing, leaving him gasping and desperate to get out of the car. But like before they all had to get out in order, leaving him to last, too scared of them to try anything that could set them - set Sage on him.

“Don’t you dare tell [name] of this. Got it?”

“Sir, yes sir.”

Sage smirked at this, “Good. Let’s be going then.” He opened his car door, finally, stepping out.

Walking back up to the house was full of laughter between the three other men, the outlier quietly trailing behind. Even as Sage opened the door to the house and announced their arrival, Warriors stayed quiet, opting to go to his room as quickly as possible. Sage took note of this out of the corner of his eye, lips upturning as Wind ran into his arms.

“You won’t believe it! Twilight over here was trying to accuse you of stealing beer! Like you would ever drink that!”

Wind laughed, “Pssh, that shit’s nasty! I need some of your whiskey, old man!”

Twilight ruffled his hair, “Ya Ma’s gonna have a fit over that one!”

“Mum knows I drink twiiiii… they’re better about it than you are!”

While the small family was having a moment there was someone who watched the captains actions and knowing the basics of what they get up to decided to go and check. Granted getting him to open his door seemed to be a harder challenge than any dungeon before this. The soft sounds of whimpered crying escaping every so often, eventually getting fed up of the lack of response the door was broken into by the veteran.

“Wars. Wars you need to tell me what you’ve seen. You have proof.”

He shook his head, another sob coming from his lips as he buried his head into the pillow even deeper.

“Come on, Wars. This is important. You know something.”

Wars opened his mouth, beginning to speak, only for another cry to fall out. “I-”

Legend grabbed his shoulders, pulling him up off the bed and looking at his tear streaked face, “Wars, come on. Talk to me.”

His words couldn’t come as he tried, only more sobs meeting his broken words. “I-I’m sor-rry.”

Legend dropped his hold on his shoulders, looking down at him. “Please. Tell me what you saw.”

“I- I- ca- can’t.” Another shake ripped through his body, making him fall into himself.

The veteran’s eyes fell to the ground, “It’s okay. I’ll find another way.”

As he left the room and started to head to his own the veteran was met by Sky standing in the hallway, his figure looking more imposing than ever with the new knowledge that he had to have done something to warriors.

“You shouldn’t go digging through fresh wounds like that, you could find yourself in a bloody mess.”

“I’m not the one with blood on my hands.”

“And I’m not the one who has to prove that baseless claim.”

“You have nothing on me legend, or on any of us. You need to accept that.”

It took a moment to shake off the threat? No that doesn’t sound right - the warning sky gave him before he fled back the perceived safety of his own bedroom.

Legend took a breath, closing the door behind him. There had to be something he could find. He reached under his bed, pulling out a tattered old box. He looked back to the door before opening it slowly. He dug through it for a moment, searching for anything he could use on them.

His hands fell onto the cool of the glass, his eyes widened, pulling out the mirror. He looked into it, only seeing himself staring back. He sighed, theres no magic here. He pushed it back in, continuing to dig through the box. A shuffling noise and and a groan from behind him had him closing the box as fast as possible.

“What are you doing?” Hyrule’s sleepy tone carried to him.

“Nothing, go back to sleep, Rulie.”

“Are you looking through that box again?” He sighed.

A short tired glace from legend put a stop to the questions for a second, seeing in Rulie’s eyes that while it isn’t the end of it, he’ll get a short respite.

“You seem more bothered now than anything recently, I’d say you need the sleep more than me.”

“Rulie. Please don’t say that, I’m not the one who lost nearly every part of myself. Just rest please.”

His regret was instant after that, Rulie’s pale skin seeming to lose even more of it’s hue and his sickened look only getting worse.

“I didn’t need reminding.”

“No - No I - Look you know I didn’t mean it that way, I - Sorry. It’s just - I’m worried about you.”

Tense barely describe the air between them, while legend’s words acted like how perhaps only a week ago iron would’ve on Hyrules own skin.

“You don’t need to be worried for me…” Rulie spoke, attempting to break the tension. “I’m holding up just fine. I’ve been through much worse.”

“No.. No you haven’t.” Legend’s words were quiet. “But I’m sure with time you’ll adjust. It just may take time…” Time we may not have.

“{Name}’s world has been hard on me, I know. But Sage is taking care of things. I trust that everything will be fine.” Legend grimaced to himself, pushing the box back into it’s place under the bed.

“Hopefully you’ll have a good day soon and we can go out. It’ll be good to get out of the house.”

“Yeah, that’d be nice.”

“Hopefully it’ll come sooner rather than later… maybe I could ask sage to …. No I can’t waste it…”

“Rulie..? Ask Sage to what?”

“Hmm? I didn’t say anything, maybe you’re so stressed that you’re hearing things.”

“No - I - I’m not…”

“Either way you should rest.”

Does Rulie know more than he’s letting on? But he’s my successor, he wouldn’t do anything like this would he? Would it even count for him? Legends questions were starting to get to the point where he had to agree with Hyrule, he has no reason to be suspicious of him. Rulie wouldn’t do that.

“Yeah - yeah maybe you’re right. Maybe I should rest.”

Sky shook his head to the closed bedroom door, turning back down the hallway. That fool needs to mind his own, before he gets himself hurt. He walked past Time’s door, giving it a once over before returning to the living room. Sage was on the couch with the kids, laughing away about something one of them said, Twilight in the kitchen pouring himself another drink.

“No, you can’t have any.” Twilight says, downing whatever was in his glass.

Sky laughed, “Trust me, I don’t want any. May try to kiss me again.” He nudged the other man before opening the fridge and reaching for a rootbeer. “I’ll try not to get drunk off of this one.”

“If you don’t let go of my fuckin’ hair I’m gonna tell mom that you’re the one who broke the hair dryer!” Wind cried out from the other room.

“You lying little shit! It was you!” Wild argued back. Sage laughed, knowing damn well he was the last to use it.
