Lucas stepped cautiously out of Steven's house, his eyes widening at the sight of the soldiers stationed outside. The air was tense, heavy with anticipation. He quickly turned back to the door and called out to his friends, his voice urgent. "Guys, get out here! Something's going on!"
Steven, Spark, Sam, and Daniel emerged from the house, all looking around warily. Daniel was the first to speak. "What's going on?" he asked, eyes darting around the scene.
Spark, always on alert, instinctively took a defensive stance, scanning the soldiers for any sign of an impending attack. "This doesn't look good," she muttered. "Why would they bring this many soldiers if they weren't expecting a fight?"
Sam, trying to assess the situation, nodded. "Let's just find out what they want. If they're here for a fight, we need to be ready."
