And posted. I must say that this is increasingly more and more difficult to work with, but I'm getting it.

It's amazing how I'm able to update so much faster than before, when I usually left my fics for a long while, several months in fact. I guess I'm just able to know how to update much faster, which is good, meaning you all can check my stories and be updated on new things.

Now then, onward to the next chapter.

Chapter 4: Unexpected Crisis

The boy looked at the ceiling as he remembered something earlier, having muttered a single word before he found himself unconscious again, where he soon understood that it was his own name that he had uttered. He isn't sure how it was possible that he had suddenly remembered it, when earlier he couldn't even recall anything without getting a splitting headache followed by all the other pain he had going on him.

But his name... Solo... what a weird name. What kind of name was that? He understood the meaning of it, wondering if his name held significance. Either way, he knew he wouldn't be able to move, especially as he felt straps on him, binding his arms and legs to the bed. He now felt more of a prisoner than some patient of theirs. Then again, he did kind of cause a scene earlier when that girl Luna was there.

He looked to his right and saw the window, but it was already sunset, judging by the light of the setting sun gave. He must have been sleeping for some time now, but he felt like he shouldn't be here, as if he was supposed to do something important. He had a gut feeling that that was the case.

Hearing the door open, he looked to see the same girl as before, Luna.

"I was told that you woke up. I came to check up on you," Luna said to him, though Solo only remained silent from this, not sure how to really talk to her. Strange, was he not the social type? He couldn't remember, but... there was something about her... something that made him feel like he was bound to her. "Sorry about the binds. They said that they can't take any chances of you having another episode again. I was against this, but they wouldn't listen."

He honestly couldn't blame them for that, so he didn't say anything there, but his mind kept going back to how he felt something about her that was beckoning to him. Was there something special about her? She didn't look that important to him, honestly. He then remembered the last time they had spoken.

"Solo."

"What?" Luna asked when she heard him say something.

"My name... it's Solo," Solo finally said, deciding that he might as well tell her his name now that he could remember it. Besides, he had nothing better to do than lay down and rest, so this was better than anything else. "I still don't remember anything, but I seemed to remember that much a little earlier..."

Luna seemed a bit surprised by that, but not the fact that he remembered. No, it seemed more like she knew something, but didn't realize everything about it.

She soon nodded and regained her composure. "Until you're better, I'll have you cared for by all my butlers and maids. They'll make sure you're well fed and get the treatment, though I think you need to get some food. You didn't have food at all today."

Solo shook his head. "I don't need any," he merely said.

The platinum blonde looked at him with a blank expression. What a stubborn person, but she decided that she wouldn't force anything on him, with him being injured and all. So she decided to talk about something else, and looked over to see his left arm, bandaged up a lot, and wondered how he was faring from that. "Does your left arm still hurt?" Luna asked as she reached out and touched it to see if he it hurt or anything like that. Gently running her hand up his arm, she soon touched an exposed part, thus touching his skin.

However, the moment she touched it, a rush of what felt like electricity ran through them, and Luna immediately retracted her hand, as if she was burned, with both of them thinking the exact same thing: What was that?

"Um... I'm gonna go. You should rest some more. Goodnight," Luna said, as she left hurriedly, and Solo found himself looking at the ceiling once more. Whatever that feeling was, Solo was almost sure that there was something about Luna that made him think there was more to her than meets the eye.

The second she entered her room, she closed the door, locking it, and held the hand she used to touch Solo's arm. "What was that? The moment I touched him, I..."

She saw something. A ball of fire coming right at her, and when she attempted to shield herself from it, she was consumed by it, and the last thing she then saw was... someone. She couldn't decipher who it was, but she was more concerned with how she knew absolutely nothing about what was going on. Was she going crazy or something? Ever since she met this person named Solo, she's been really feeling out of it. Even now, she felt so tired that might just fall asleep at any second without warning.

"That's it. Tomorrow, I am so going shopping to take my mind off of all this. Maybe I'll invite Geo and the others. They can help carry my stuff," she said to herself, planning what to do tomorrow. The thought of making Geo, Bud, and Zack carry her things amused her a little, though she didn't really enjoy that much of pushing them around like that. It was just fun doing that sort of thing at times.

She considered writing a message for Geo and the others to invite them to some shopping tomorrow, deciding that she needed to enjoy herself since school would be coming the day after that.

However, she eventually had decided against it, and would simply invite them tomorrow afternoon. With that, she proceeded to work on other things to help pass the time before she would go to sleep, though every time she did, her mind kept going back to Solo, much to her annoyance. She needed to stop thinking about him so much, even if he was a heavily injured patient that was living with her in her large mansion. Though with how her butlers have him bound, he was more of a captive now. Hopefully he wouldn't hold it against them, and wouldn't cause anymore trouble, though at least when she checked up on him, he looked a bit better, which was surprising really. He must be one fast healer to be able to wake up and move around like he did despite all the injuries he had sustained, which still confounded Luna as to how one could acquire such wounds.

"Argh!" Luna grunted angrily as she scratched her hair with both hands to snap herself out of it. "I need to sleep now. Maybe by tomorrow, I'll just forget about all these weird things and just have some fun tomorrow."

With that, she went to bed.

The sound of giggling was heard as Luna opened her eyes, once again finding herself in the weird place once more when she dreamed earlier. Was she dreaming again? Very likely, but she felt… more energized here, or rather, she could feel more aware of her surroundings now than before, she couldn't really focus that well, like all dreams tend to be, as they were simply one's consciousness going into a state without any awareness.

Luna looked around now and began walking, once again wondering where she was once more, and looked towards the sky, spotting what looked like a large tower-like structure, likely the center of the place. Luna began heading towards there, before she suddenly saw two kids running around, the one chasing the other child looking much like a younger version of Solo, but a bit different. Wait, wasn't that the boy she had seen before when she was here?

"Come on, wait up!" the boy cried out. However, Luna noticed something…

That wasn't her language!

They were speaking in a different language she had never once heard of, but what was surprising Luna more... was how she could understand this strange language. What was going on? Luna never heard these words they were speaking, yet she understood them perfectly as if they were her own.

This was getting really freaky now...

The other child, a young girl with silver hair and amber eyes, wearing similar clothes to the young boy, turned her head around, laughing. "Nope, you have to try and catch me, slowpoke," she teased as she hurried faster.

Hearing that, the boy growled in irritation, but slightly still keeping a playful attitude, jumped up and went higher than the average person could, but seemed to be riding something as he then landed in front of her, making her try to stop, but she only succeeded in crashing against the boy and falling on the ground, both groaning in pain, mostly the boy cause the girl was the one that hit him.

"Ow… why didn't you stop?" the boy groaned out as he got up slowly, though the girl got up before he did, and placed her hands on her hips as she bent over to him with a pouting glare.

"This is your fault. You shouldn't have used the waves to try and catch up, cheater," she said, sticking her tongue out at him, but then smiled and held out her hand, helping him get up, before the two started laughing together.

"Sorry about that," the boy said, rubbing the back of his head.

The girl smiled and nodded. "It's okay. Come on, the others are probably still waiting for us." Taking ahold of the boy's hand, they began running away, leaving Luna there with even more questions than before.

What are these dreams of hers? Some kind of vision, perhaps? Then why did this vision have people wearing clothes similar to Solo's? Who are these people? Does Solo have something to do with this? If so, how did she get caught up in this? And why was it that when she was looking at the scenario, she felt so… happy, yet sad? What were these feelings welling up inside her? Why is it that she feels so happy when she looks at this, but at the same time, wanting to cry? What was going on with her?

She tried to think more, before she felt her head beginning to hurt, and the dizziness struck her again, and she found herself opening her eyes back in her room, the sunlight already shining through her windows.

"It's… morning…?" Luna muttered as she got up, and felt her eyes stinging and rubbed them, before feeling a wetness. Was she… crying in her sleep? Those feelings she had in the dream… were they so strong that she cried in her sleep? But why would such a cheerful dream be painful?

This was too much. She needed to get out and have some fresh air. Least she made some plans for today.

With the afternoon now here, Geo had decided to go to AMAKEN to enjoy some games by Mr. Dubius on his Matter Wave project, and decided to see if Luna and the others would wanna come with. Wouldn't be that much fun if it were just him playing around. He really had changed quite a bit, as before he met Omega-Xis, he wouldn't even consider having friends, but now, he wanted to hang out any time he could.

When he was about to call the others, his Star Carrier instead rang, and after accepting the call, he saw the screen pop up and Luna appeared. "Hey Geo," Luna greeted.

"Hi Luna. I was gonna call you just now. Looks like you beat me to the punch," Geo said with a small chuckle.

"Guess I'm lucky. Anyways, I wanted to invite you, Bud, and Zack to come shopping with me. You can carry some of the bags for me," she told him, making Geo falter.

Not again.

"C-come on, Luna. I was gonna invite you and the others to AMAKEN so we could play some of the games Mr. Dubius has. We don't need to-"

"We're going shopping and that's final. We'll play afterwards. Don't you dare skip out, or there will be consequences." And with that last word, she hung up, signifying the conversation was over, and there was no choice in this matter.

"Great, when Luna's like that, there's absolutely no stopping her…"

Omega-Xis popped into the screen now, and nodded, but laughed a little. "That's true, but if you were Megaman, you'd be able to tell her what to do instead," he said, which was true, since Luna had a major crush for Megaman, though Geo didn't really think that was the case. If anything, to Geo, Luna was like a big fan of Megaman. Clearly he couldn't take a hint that her affections were more genuine than he realized.

"Well, might as well go." With a sigh, Geo headed out to the mall, no doubt Bud and Zack also there, though they'd more likely be happy with this, unlike Geo.

Walking happily through the mall holding a shopping bag, Luna hummed one of Sonia's songs as Bud and Zack were following behind with lots of shopping bags and boxes for them to carry for her, with Geo following lazily behind them. "Why did we have to do this?" Geo whined for the third time.

"Geez, stop complaining, Geo. You should be used to this by now," Zack said, carrying the least among the three, given his short stature, while Bud was carrying the most with how he was bigger and stronger than the two of them. "And besides, once we finish here, I'm sure Luna won't mind coming to AMAKEN to play some games."

"That's right," Bud nodded in agreement, though Geo wasn't fully thrilled by how he still had to endure this. And he doubted that Bud and Zack were gonna be able to endure this completely.

"What are you slackers doing?" Luna angrily asked them as she turned around to see what was keeping them, and it turned out they were just whining like babies. Really, a gentleman would be more than happy to assist a lady like her shopping by carrying her items. "Keep that up, and I won't make any snacks for you."

Well, that ended up getting them, as even Geo seemed to find that to be a silver lining in this situation. Her cooking had indeed improved a great deal thanks to his mom guiding her, that now he found himself enjoying the snacks she made that he couldn't help but try to snag some of them when she wasn't looking at times. Now there was something to look forward to in this boring situation, so maybe it wasn't all that bad. Though he did hope that this shopping spree would end soon, because otherwise he was going to find himself buried in the boxes.

"Alright, just one more store and we should be good," she said, and the trio of boys were happy about that, following her into the clothing store, where Luna was checking out several outfits, which dampened the boys' moods just as fast. No man ever seems to be able to handle a girl checking out clothes, because they take forever. They knew because their moms were all like that whenever they went shopping, even in grocery stores, though in Bud's case, taking their time on grocery shopping was okay, cause that meant he could eat the best types of food with his folks.

Luna tried on several different outfits, all of which the guys replied with casual compliments, as they really didn't know how else to describe it. It wasn't like they were girls and could give better opinions. Though this made Geo wonder what would happen if Luna and Sonia ended up shopping together. Maybe then it would work out better.

After several dresses and Luna reaching the last few ones, Geo sighed, waiting for Luna to try on the next dress.

"Are we almost done yet? She's been there for at least 20 minutes," the brunet grumbled, as this particular one seemed to take Luna much longer than the last ones, which was weird cause the dress didn't seem hard to put on. "I'm gonna go check on her to see what's taking so long…"

As he approached the dressing room compartment that she was in, geo knocked on her door. "Luna, how much longer are you gonna be in there?"

Silence.

"Luna?" Geo questioned as he knocked a bit more. He wasn't getting in response, and even tried raising his voice to call her, and still nothing.

"Geo, break through the door!" Omega-Xis' voice shouted out to him through the Star Carrier.

"Wh-what?"

"Just do it!"

Something was wrong, if Omega-Xis was acting like that, Geo stepped back and slammed his right shoulder against the door, though it didn't work and he tried a bit more.

Geo wanted to Wave Change, but these places have cameras around, so if he did that, he would be exposed.

"Geo, what are you doing?" Bud asked as he arrived with Zack in tow.

"Bud! Zack! Help me break this door down. I think something's wrong with Luna!"

The moment Geo said that, the two panicked and nodded as Geo and the other two slammed their whole weights against the door, finally breaking through it, though they knew that this would land them in trouble later.

However, the top priority was Luna, and the trio saw her collapsed on the floor with the dress she was trying out, though her eyes were still open, but the dull color in them seemed to indicate that she wasn't conscious.

"LUNA!"

Geo reached her first and lifted her so she was upright a little and tried to shake her. "Wake up, Luna!"

No response.

"Geo, she isn't breathing," Omega-Xis said to him, making Geo's blood run cold and the color starting to drain from his face. Bud and Zack held the exact same face as him, if not even more. Geo held his hand over her mouth, and just as the AM-ian said, Luna wasn't breathing.

"Call for help!" Geo shouted to them, as they nodded and hurried away.

"Luna, wake up, please…" Geo said, as he was feeling complete terror flowing through him.

Solo immediately sat upright as if he had awoken from a nightmare. "Luna…" he muttered, feeling something horribly wrong.

"What did you say?" Sebastian said, as he arrived to check up on Solo's health and change his bandages again with the help of the others. However, when Solo mentioned Luna's name, Sebastian immediately narrowed his eyes at the boy, wondering if there was something amiss by the way he acted.

Solo turned to him. "I think something happened to Luna. You have to go to her now," he said, but despite seeming panicked at first, he seemed to say that sentence rather calmly.

Sebastian stared at him with wide eyes. Something happened to Luna? Sebastian didn't want to believe that to be true at all, but he couldn't take any chances if there was a chance that something did indeed happened to Luna. He swiftly turned and hurried out of the room, ordering the other butlers to stay and keep an eye on him as the elderly man hurried with some others to try and reach out to Luna.

As they left and Solo was left in his room with some other butlers keeping watch over him, Solo looked over at the window.

He was connected to this Luna girl somehow.

But what?

And why?

There had to be a reason…

And that's the end of this chapter. Oh the drama. XD

Thank you RTNknight for the review about how I don't need to worry about making the flow try to match how it happened in the original. This is a reboot, so I go my own way, not the original story way.

So who expected this to happen? I bet you no one. After all, they were in the mall. Since when does anything special happen in a mall when the Earth isn't being attacked?

So I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Let me know what you thought about this.
