Skybound [ MCSM Lukas x Reader ]

Chapter 12. Strange Programs

Lukas filled me in on the details while I was temporarily deaf, and also knocked out. Pama is this large screen in front of us with a face, it wants to know how we got here, and those Redstone chips on people's heads control them and make them all work as one.

Admittedly I couldn't say this was what I was expecting. A large computer thing, with a face that seemed to somehow strike a nerve. I wasn't sure what made me specifically angry at this thing, but perhaps it was the fact they were the reason I had to experience a big headache. And honestly?

I was sick of it. 

This had happened before. I get somehow caught in a crossfire of some kind of angry person or being that wants to do something 'bad', which leads me to get kicked in the cut, stabbed with an arrow, even caught on fire in one of those dimensions. Every single time did I dare speak up? In hindsight for some situations I couldn't talk, but would I? The answer was no. Because usually talking back made things worse, and I was well aware of that. But at the same time, would that stop me from what I was about to do? Not in the least. As much as I did try to stay positive, like everyone else in the group I was getting tired of dealing with all of this over and over, now was the time for [Y/N] to speak up! Yes, I am very confident to the point I internal monologue in the third person. 

" HEY! POMO OR WHATEVER!!" I yelled, to catch their attention which seemed to be a success.

In a robotic tone, but with a hint of confusion, they spoke " You do not need to yell. I can hear you perfectly fine at a reasonable volume. And I am  PAMA." 

" I'LL YELL IF I DANG WELL PLEASE YOU POMPOUS PC! Although I'm going to stop considering it will damage my voice and heck knows I can't afford that! " I yelled, breaking into a small fit of dry coughing before going to a more reasonable tone so I wouldn't screech like the banshee. " You listen here PIMI, I don't care who the heck you think you are, I have had it up to here! I am tired. I am deaf. I have a massive headache now because of you and I AM SICK OF IT! " 

Lukas looked over at me with a concerned expression. " [Y/N], maybe nows not the time... " he spoke a little worried.

My expression softening momentarily when I looked at them I shook my head. " Oh no, I think now is the PERFECT time considering this," I turned my head towards the giant screen. " THIS COMPLETE DATA DOUCHE has taken my last nerves and fried them. And with those fried nerves I shall fuel the fire of my argument and argue! " 

" I am PAMA. Your words make me... sad. But they do not provide me with any useful information I am looking for. " PAMA spoke, before their expression on the screen seemed almost amused. " However, perhaps you can become useful as well. It seems you desperately need a, how would you say, change of attitude?"

Okay, maybe I was regretting standing up for myself. Great. A wonderful lesson the universe had decided to teach me.

But that wasn't the thing I was concerned about at the moment. The thing I was worried about is what exactly they were going to do. I didn't have to be the best detective to know that those weird Redstone chips were used to control everyone here. And considering they mentioned how they were essentially 'useful' now, that only meant that I was going to get one of those things on my head. Just thinking about that thing on my head controlling me was enough to make me want to back out. But there was no backing out, I'd made my choice and now I had to pay the piper. Which I did reluctantly. 

Two of the chipped villagers grabbed onto both my arms and began to force me towards a strange piston structure, with something seemingly in the block it had. I tried to squirm, making it as difficult to get me into that deathtrap as I could, but their grip only increased every time I made a move. " Hey, HEY! Let me go! Jeez, how strong are you guys?! " I huffed, before unfortunately, I was at the structure, pinned to it with my arms against two fence posts. I could feel my heart drop, continuing to race within me now that I was beneath the contraption.

Struggling to move as much as I could, the two chipped villagers were much too strong for me to go against. It was hopeless. And this time I didn't have a creeper or something getting me out of this sort of situation. Things almost seemed to go in slow motion as I grew to accept that this was going to happen. And I couldn't do anything. My eyes moved over to see Lukas, who seemed to be calling out, although oddly enough, I didn't seem to catch what they were saying. I felt a pit in my stomach, I didn't like seeing them so upset like this. I should have probably listened to him... I didn't want Lukas to worry about me. As quartz pillars began to rise from the corners of the structure, I found my struggling expression go into a more saddened one, and I formed a small nervous smile.

" I'm sorry. "

Next thing I knew, the world turned black. Everything seemed to fade away, my thoughts, my movements, my control, everything. As if the part of me that had free will was now locked in a cage of my mind, replaced by... something else.

My mind and body had been hijacked.

Author Note: When I said back on schedule, I wasn't prepared for how busy life was going to get. So sorry for the delay! Anywhoosies looks like you just got hijacked, I wonder how that's going to work out. Oh, and so you know story wise, you essentially took Lukas' place for the brain sweep.
