Later when Luna goes back to the Assassin's Guild, sorry about the missing gaps about Luna's and Zato's last fight, but I need to work out how it will be finished. I hope you like this. Bit cheesy but oh well, my brain is starting to lack ideas for this.
Life in Assassin's Guild was routine. Zato was relieved that you came back alive, but was upset that you had gotten a serious injury and left behind a scar (Zato could feel the scar). Venom was also relieved, he demanded that you give him the picture you took of him before you left, you said over your dead body.
Five years passed, agonizingly boring, the only thing to entertain you was to either go treasure hunting or play with Zato or Venom (means to fight them for fun).
"Did you hear Master Zato?" one of the assassins came in while you and Zato were talking, "Hear what?" Zato snarls, he did not want to be disturbed from your time together. "There is going to be a tournament, featuring the strongest warriors." "Not interested." "Wait. The strongest? Sounds like a lot of fun!" "You are not getting involved Luna." Zato firmly says, "Come on Zato-kun, I'll be right back after it. Where is it?" "Leave!" Zato yells at the assassin, the assassin hurriedly runs out of the office. "Foo. You are not that fun Zato." You grew huffy, "You cannot, you will have another mission coming and you will not abandon this one." "Oh come on! He was about to fall off a cliff anyway!" you were talking about your last mission, the man accidentally committed suicide; you braced Zato's fury for several weeks afterward. "I will personally make sure you are there." "It was only once! I won't do it again, hopefully." You mutter the last part, "I heard that Luna." Zato scowls.
You managed to get the info from the other assassins. "Luna? What is going on?" Venom sees you a little upset, "I want to go to the tournament the others are talking about, but I can't." "Master Zato brought up the mission, didn't he?" "Kind of, that was after I learned about the tournament." "You should not have left it." Venom scolds you, "He was about to fall off a cliff! Can't anyone see that?" Venom picks you up, you became a kit (baby fox) "Just behave and maybe Master Zato will change his mind. Trust me Luna." You sigh, "Gui" you replied in fox which meant yes.
The next mission was to assassinate a spokesperson that had encountered a treacherous assassin and told him everything about the Assassin's Guild and where it was. This man was completely dangerous, he arranged an assembly to tell everyone where the Assassin's Guild was and its weaknesses, the assassin was there too, to guard the spokesperson. Zato was with you this time and this mission will not fail.
Zato was displeased when you brought a sniper rifle, an old one too. You told him you wanted to scare the people to not prod into the Assassin's Guild affairs; a loud shot with a dead person in the end would do it.
The assembly started on time, you scrambled to reach the roof of a building. "Why must we fear the Assassin's Guild? We must not! A being was willing to infiltrate and report everything in the Assassin's Guild to me, and this man is the brave soul." He brought up the treacherous assassin, "The Assassin's Guild lies in theā¦" "Bam!" the voice of the sniper screams, the spokesperson falls over dead. The people scream and start to panic, Zato personally appears before the assassin. The assassin reaches for the microphone, "Bam!" the sniper's bullet snaps the cord that connects the microphone to the speakers, and the assassin was doomed with Zato. Zato's shadow tears the assassin into shreds, his blood splattering everywhere. Out of nowhere a blonde woman appears before Zato, she points a finger toward Zato and says something, you could not hear because you were too far, the microphone was dead and the people's screaming deafened everything. You could tell that Zato was furious, he sent out his shadow but the woman easily dodges it and her hair becomes a spear, you quickly and sloppily aimed, "Bam!" The bullet misses her heart but it nicks her arm, she took her arm in and glared at you. The newfound "International Police Force" arrives to take Zato-kun and you in for first-degree murder. Zato manages to slip away and the woman leaps away, this left you. One of the officers found out where you had shot the spokesperson and a herd of officers was running toward the building. You luckily had a secondary escape plan before you came here, you jumped off the building and used some of the clothesline you grabbed onto, break your fall. "Halt!" an officer scream out, you ignore him and try to lose them in the alleys. You encountered one alley with a tall fence blocking your way, using the walls as an invisible staircase you jumped between them until you were clear enough to vault over it. The angry and frustrated officers behind you the officers was left to try to kick down the gate and attempt to have backup try to come and get you.
You returned to Assassin's Guild without anyone following you, you reached Zato's office because he wanted to talk to you immediately.
"Yes Zato-kun?" you had already gotten use to running all the way up without becoming breathless. "Close the door" you could tell that Zato was not in a good mood, you nod and close the door gently behind you. Zato appeared suddenly in your face, "Why did you interfere?" Zato yells out and hits you down. Zato was beating you down and he was yelling at you. Soon he was done and stared out of the window, you were lying on the ground, the blood leaking out to become a puddle, "Leave." Zato dangerously demanded. You then hear someone enter and help you up, it was Venom, and you bow to Venom and take your leave.
Venom's POV: You see Luna lying on the ground in pain, Master Zato was furious. You knew why, Luna had shot at Millia Rage and Master Zato wanted to inflict damage on her himself. Luna leaves and both of you are left alone, it was some time before you spoke, "Master Zato, she only did what she thought was best. She would have protected you from dangers even if it put her life in harm's way." Master Zato calms down, "Bring her back in then." When you looked down there was a puddle of blood, and there were droplets leading toward the door. Intrigued you follow it; this pattern was that Luna used to walk out from Master Zato's office. Outside the door the blood drops were erratically everywhere, Luna was stumbling by the time she reached the stairs to the roof, she fell against the floor three times, leaned on the railing twice and kept swerving. When you reached the roof, you could see Luna's blood from her head seep into her clothes and dripped to the floor. When you added how much blood you seen on the floor and on her clothes, you immediately could tell she lost too much blood. She was at the edge of the roof, she suddenly got dizzy and fell off the roof. You could not get Luna that way or you would be committing suicide as well. You dashed down the stairs; Master Zato heard your state of panic and demanded what was going on. "Luna fell off the roof and now is plummeting toward the ground!" you quickly respond, and then Master Zato suddenly disappears.
Zato's POV: Venom's speech about Luna's actions made you feel guilty, she did not know what happened between you and Millia Rage and she paid a heavy price for her loyalty. When Venom told you what happened, your blood went cold.
You reached the ground floor and sensed Luna in the air; your shadow enveloped you and gave you wings. You flew up and caught Luna, you reached the ground gently, but you felt something leaking out onto your body. You tasted it. It was blood, Luna was this injured and she told no one? She was bleeding heavily and her body got cold in your grip. Some of the assassins ran out, "Immediately tend to her wounds!" you demand, "Yes Master Zato" they quickly took her and ran inside the building.
You later got news that her bleeding had completely stopped and she was still unconscious. When you reached her room, she sensed you, became a kit, forced herself up and hid under her bed. Her aura was screaming out fear, "Luna, look, I'm sorry for how I treated you. Can you forgive me?" you apologized, this was becoming routinely for you. Her answer was a no; she still trembled under her bed and squealed when you tried to get her. This was going to take another three months for her to get the message that you were truly sorry.
You heard that Luna would attack anyone who came into her room by panic and fear, all her stress she had gathered caused her too much pressure on her wounds that she would faint easily especially if she was excited. She refused to come out from under her bed when you came to see her and when you sent your shadow out to drive her from under the bed; she fainted. Her condition made her too dizzy to eat or to frolic just as she used to do; she was shedding too much fur and got jumpy after three nights of not being able not to sleep, she fainted more often.
"Nice going you idiot." Dragon insults you, "Don't you have anything better to do?" you snarl, you did not want to deal with her. "Unless that is making the fox faint then no." she plays with a dagger, "this is just like last time, except she is not angry at you." You were stunned, "you remembered when Luna was injured?" "Yes and the fox will know about the first time too." "You will not tell her." You threaten, "Who is going to stop me? A blind man will stop me from telling the fox; will it be terrible? She will remember how she called you a monster and start killing everyone again. Then I'll have a nice meal from their bodies." "Whap!" you hear Venom's pool cue make contact with the Dragon's head, "I would suggest to do as Master Zato says." "Okay, just hope she doesn't remember on her own." She angrily hisses.
Venom was the one to comfort Luna, she only felt safe with Venom, not you. She started to sleep under Venom's bed and gingerly eat before you came by and rushed back to Venom's bed. Her wound healed and she stopped fainting, but her courage to encounter you was badly damaged, nearly shattered. Soon she kept sneaking out of the building to go digging for treasure and usually found a bone or a sealed container.
Venom's POV: "Why does your 'Master' think he could make the fox calm down if he was unsuccessful the first time?" the Dragon was bored, she was not allowed back in the body of Luna. "He will be this time, he will soothe Luna from her fears." "But he is her fear. How can you get rid of a fear?" "He will find a way"
Zato about to quell Luna's fears, how hard can that be? Pretty hard. Oh, and I'm deciding to make another story, somehow send a message to me if you want to check it out. MoonlitLuna out. Daisuke made Guilty Gear!
