Chapter Nine: Loved Ones Past

Moon's POV:

Today, was bizarre? I was outside, thinking of why I could see Nick. Said Helicopter was watching me from a distance but when I didn't move for like…...two minutes, he rolled up to my side. I was near the treeline, Nick on my right.

Nick looked at my confused expression, "What?"

"Well, I was thinking," I remarked, "Why was I able to see you?"

Nick thought for a second before replying, "Maybe because I let you see me."

"Maybe," I responded then I thought and remarked, "I wonder…..Nick? Do you ever want to come back to life? As yourself?"

"Never thought of it," Nick responded, "Yeah, but…..woah that might be a stretch from your powers, even though you are a Divine."

"Still, I can talk to my ancestors if I needed to in the past," I smirked, "Maybe I can ask for their advice."

"Still how much energy would it drain?" Nick responded.

"Nick I'll be fine, and you can annoy him back with a girlfriend," I retorted, "He needs one bad, then if I go back to my-You know what…..Just get him a girlfriend."

"Your worried about what?" Nick asked with a smile, then his smile faded as he realized, "Oh…...If you go back. Manufacture."

"It is a possibility," I remarked, "Everything would go back to normal, no one will remember me. It'll be the start of a new leaf in my world, but yours? I'm not sure."

"I would never forget you," Nick whispered, after my brief silence.

Yes, that was possible, the very thought of losing the one family I had would be…I don't even want to think of that. I just hope, and pray, that it would never happen.

That'll have my family in one piece once this war is done.

"Thanks Nick," I replied, then I smiled, "I need you in this world like Blade does, it's been thirty years nick, thirty, he won't hold on much longer if I left the next day in my world. I'll talk to my ancestors tonight. They might have something."


(Moon's POV):

I was in my dream world, it was quiet nothing abnormal. Heh, they always were like that. I asked, "Ancestors? Mom? I need to ask about something about my powers."

"What is it child," my mother appeared in front of me, she was five foot two inches, was in a white silk gown with a blue bow in her hair. Which was raven black like mine, her eyes were silver since all Divine had silver eyes. She smiled at me, I smiled back, "Mother."

"Oh Moon, so bright like the moon and stars," My mother hugged me, I hugged her back tears slipping down my face, "Look how you grown, your now what? Twenty years old?"

"Mom, I missed you so much," I gasped, "And you still look beautiful, I'm so sorry I haven't been able to contact you."

"It's okay, blame the Pursuers," My mother whispered, "Their the ones who blocked your memory including my, well your father, who is the king of them."

"I still don't know how but I guess that will be later, I have a question that I think only you will answer," I told my mother who unhugged me, I rubbed my right shoulder with my left hand, "Umm, can I bring back loved ones? Like the dead?"

"Hm," my mother looked into my eyes, I looked straight into her silver ones, "You might have the potential, but untrained no. If trained yes."

"How would I be trained to save Nick?" I asked my mother.

"Nick? Was he the Helicopter that became your adopted uncle, but crashed tragically during filming?" My mother asked softly.

I nodded, "Yeah. He became my silent uncle and gave me a hint from the mind barrier."

"Hm, I believe we accidently killed him in one of our traps," My mother told me, I gasped in shock, my own ancestors killed my uncle?! What the-but my mother interrupted my thoughts, "Oh yes he was, we didn't know what to do so we made him a wandering spirit. We were so sorry we made a spell for return of life. Sadly we did it when we died so no one but the next generation so great and powerful as the first Divine, could come and save him."

She looked at me and I realized, "Me? But I can't be as strong as you say I am!"

"Yet you are, you stopped the ruler's plans, who had more experience by the way, by using your ancestors as a guide, not many have done that without falling," she told me with a laugh.

"Well, I just remembered Skipper's teachings I didn't realize I was using you-," I told my mom and her eyes widen.

"You are powerful," my mother whispered, circling me, "Hm, unforeseen power. Stronger mentally and Physically. Amazing gifts to see the dead. You are-my gosh my daughter is stronger than the first Divine!"

My eyes widen, "So? What does that mean?"

"Your powers need to be train, You will train all day and for a full three days, you must," My mother pressured me, "To make us all rest in peace for destroying the Pursuers forever."

I thought then I responded with a straight face and a nod, "Of course mother, I'll try."


Dusty's POV:

Moon must be sick, it has been a whole day and she hadn't been outside her room. Blade was going to check on her but a fire broke out near the lodge and we had to go. Maru told Blade not to worry for he was going to watch the hunger closely so would Patch.

Once the fire was under control and half of it extinguished, Blade, Dipper, and I rushed back faster than the others. We were all worry for Moon.

Blade landed on the runway and rolled to Maru, "Maru? Anything?"

"Nothing," Maru replied as Me and Dipper landed, "She hasn't come out and the lights are still shut off."

"ARGH!" A scream came from her hanger, Blade whipped towards the sound.

Moon.

Oh Manufacture.

MOON!

As Everyone else landed we rushed to the hanger. Blade tried to open the hanger but the door was closed, Maru rushed up as another painful screech went up, "AH!"

That one was louder and heartbreaking, it was like…..

Like she was dying. Then as Maru went to work, it was silence. Completed silence, I was on the right side of Blade, who was whispering, "No. No. No. No."

As Maru opened the lock, we barged in to see a sweating Moon who was in dead slumber. She was on her bed, her black hair tossed, her face scrunched in pain. She groaned in pain, Blade pushed past us with Maru tailing behind him.

I saw Blade whisper, "Not again."


Moon's POV:

I felt their presences near me, I wondered if I screamed from the amount of Divine teaching I was getting pushed into my power. It was only day one. The basics. Healing, fighting, and growth.

Man, I wonder if I was sweating.

Hm, I wonder if Nick would kill me if He found out how much training it takes.

Welp, just get it done with. I guess.


Dusty's POV:

Screams were getting less by every hour. The next day already passed, it was on day three. Blade hadn't left her side in such a long time that I thought that she might never wake up.

This is probably what my friends and teammates must've thought when I crashed.

I gasped when Maru poked me in the face, he looked stern, "Dusty rest in your hanger."

Did I fall asleep? "Huh?"

"You need rest," Maru remarked, "You fell asleep on top of your own wheels, this is not the first time. Go. I'll let you know when she awakes. Now go on, shoo get some rest!"

I rolled out and stayed out but was still watching Moon who lost her fever, I replied, "I'll stay until Blade comes back."

"Already here Champ," I turned around to see Blade behind me, he looked tired and unhappy. I nodded as I left, I looked to Moon's still form and my heart sunk.

Moon please wake up.


Moon's POV:

I saw my wolf self in a silk dress. My mom was in her wolf form too, she was black with two silver stars on her eyes, she smiled at me, "You did great."

"So what next?" I told her, I wagged my tail, "What do I go from here?"

"You do what you are meant to do," My mother nuzzled me, she then handed me a suitcase, "It's time for you to go Home, to bring back the wandering spirit and to end the existence of the Pursuers. I love you."

"I love you mom," I remarked changing back to a human, I hugged her as I grabbed my suitcase, "Forever."

The darkness faded away and I was on my bed, I opened my eyes to my dark hanger. I moved my head slowly feeling a bit dizzy then I felt my suitcase beside me. Maru was talking to Blade, Blade eyes lowered. I moved away the covers softly, then I started to walk forward. My legs unsteady.

"Dad? Maru?" I whispered to the two machines. They stopped and fully looked at me, I asked, "What's going on?"


Dusty's POV:

I was barely getting any rest. The thought of Moon asleep forever was on my mind. Was she dying? Was she even hanging onto life? Was she even alive? Did she die already? I rolled and rolled around until I couldn't take it.

I snuck out of my hanger seeing that Maru was talking to Blade I snuck behind him away from the door. Then I heard a whisper, "Dad? Maru? What's going on?"

Moon? Moon was awake?

I felt like flying, but Blade turned to see Moon and he rushed forward, what was happening, "You never scare me like that again."

"Sorry but I had to," Moon voice got stronger, "To restore peace. I had to train my powers, which are the strongest powers in record. Oh that reminds me, do you have anything to drink, beside oil."

We all chuckled, me softly. That sounded like Moon.


Moon's POV:

Of course it has been three days, but finally I was able to talk to Nick after everyone left. He wouldn't leave me alone of course, over protective and all, but when we finally got some alone time I had to do it to him. Let him return.

I turned to him with a smile, "Did you know what I learned?"

"What?" He remarked with a sly smile, then he realized what I was talking about and looked shocked as he rolled back, "Oh no, no, no, no. You couldn't have, you shouldn't. You'd waste all your energy!"

"Actually, not really," I responded, closing my eyes then I waved my hand over his body remembering his form, color, and everything. Every part. He was in awe as I chanted, "Return to body, soul. Live another day. Never be forgotten again, no more wander. A body of old return to you. Live!"

Then I opened my eyes to see Nick in his CHoPs form. He looked shocked, "H-H-How?"

"Returned atlast," I finished the spell and Nick gasped as my hand glowed sealing the spell.

After the spell sealed he looked at me, "Can you get me a mirror?"

"Yep," I responded, getting my mirror.

I showed Nick himself with the mirror, I was looking at his face, total shock and unbelieve happiness. He whispered, "Thanks a lot amiga."

"Look, you can speak Spanish!" I chuckled.

He gasped, "I can!"

Then we both laughed, enjoying each other's company again. He was alive. He would remember everything.

I will never be forgotten.


(Moon's POV):

I was still with Nick when Maru yelled, "SUPPER TIME!"

Nick smiled, "I can't remember the last time I had food."

"Just enjoy it while it lasts," I nudge him giggling.

"Ha, Ha," He remarked sarcastically. I was usually the last one to get supper to sit with Blade who would usually to Paper work. That stuff, I can say, are the worst thing in the world's history.

As I saw the last planes and tugs go in, I smiled, "You ready?"

He smiled as I opened the doors, "Ready as ever."

We got to the door and I shushed him, I opened the door and coughed. Everyone looked towards me but Dusty looked towards me the fastest. I smiled and asked, "Where's Blade? I got him a surprise."

"I'm right here," Blade replied rolling out of his office, he moved forward, "What do you need Moon?"

"Someone came to visit," I remarked smiling opening the door fully. Letting everyone see a better than new Nick.

Everyone nearly spilled their oil as Blade's mouth dropped, "N-Nick?"

"How have you've been partner?" Nick replied with a smile.

"Surprise?" I asked as Blade looked ready to faint.
