"Yes, I see them too. Strange for strangers to be here."
The conjoined twins who make up Unit peer at Drake and Ameristar from behind a gnarled tree, their own shape even more twisted than the tree is. They are connected down to the waist, the left twin's right arm extends awkwardly in front of his twin's chest, the right's arm is behind. Their faces would be monstrous even on a normal body, with lumps all over their faces and hairless heads. Their combined body is thickly muscled. The tops of their heads are more than eight feet above the ground.
"We could capture them brother."
"Yes, we could capture them an be heroes to all."
"We cold bring them home brother, and all will rejoice at our return."
"They will see. They will see that the Unit is strong. They will see that the Unit should be loved."
"Yes brother. We will make them see like we made our grandfather see."
Unit lurked toward the heroes, stalking awkwardly but slowly to their blind side.
"So what does it stand for anyway?" Drake asks Ameristar. "Muscle Bound Life-savers? Mega Butt-kicking Legion?"
"You mean they didn't tell you?"
"No, do you know?"
Just then, Unit swings a makeshift club at them, sending Drake sprawling and just missing Ameristar. Ameristar flies up and shoots at Unit, the bullets strike, but do only minor damage to Unit's thick skin.
"She stings us brother."
"Then we will swat her down."
Unit throws their club at Ameristar, striking her and knocking her out of control. As Unit moves in, they are startled by a loud roar. hey turn to see Drax charging toward them, They stand their ground and punch Drax in the side of the head as he reaches them. He bellows in pain and rage.
Drax, stay in control, getting mad will just cause you to make mistakes. Tail whip that ugly whatever-it-is!
Drax nods mostly to himself as he spins quickly and hammers Unit with his tail, sending the deformed twins flying. Unit lands on their faces and are given no time to recover as Ameristar lands on their backs. "Help me hold it down!"
"Right!" Drax places a massive paw on Unit as Ameristar restrains them, tying the hands of one twin in front of them and the other behind them. Once they're securely tied up, Ameristar questions them as Drax watches intently.
"Why did you attack us?"
"Secrets."
"Yes, we must keep our secrets."
"What secrets.'
"The tower..."
"Quiet brother!"
"What tower? Do you know about the Tower of Cuccubao?"
"We won't tell you about our home!"
"Brother! We must not tell!"
"Geez, some secret keeper these guys are. I just can't figure out who's the dumber one."
"So, you know where it is." Ameristar thinks for a moment "We'll let you go if you show us the way."
"We'll do it."
"No brother!"
"Yes. Let us show them the way. They'll not survive their visit."
"You're right, brother. They'll not like their welcome."
"You guys can't scare us!"
"Fine, you show us the way and we'll worry about the reception we get."
