(Luna's View)
Thump-thump-thump-thump!
The sound of a heartbeat enters my ears in a soothing manner. My eyes are heavy. My limbs are tingling faintly and are gently pressed on something soft and warm. Also, the sound of frantic steps pounding against something metal also enters my ears. While all of these senses slowly begin to process in my brain, a moan exits my mouth without me deciding to do so. The moan causes whatever or whoever I'm with or on to tighten the warm, soft and furry feeling against my limbs. The footstep sound ceases. My back soon tingles for an instant when it laid on something cold.
"Luna…Can you hear me…?" A deep voice whispers shakily. My right hand is grasped by someone. I moan out in response. My chest is too heavy and weak to speak right now. However, instead of speaking, I manage to open my eyes, revealing Infinite staring at me with teary eyes. A faint, weak, but visible smile creeps up my face. Infinite smiles back.
"You're back. Sweet Mobius you're back!" He hums loudly, helping me sit up from the metal floor on the deck of the Blue Typhoon. I groan out, rubbing my eyes with my weak arms. "Wha…What happened…?" I huff out. Infinite shakes his head. "No time to explain. Just stay put. We're in a war at the moment." He says in a shaky voice, turning his head to the entrance to the interior of the Blue Typhoon. When he does, the door blasts from its hinges. Infinite grabs me, pulling me away from the oncoming door. He, too, doesn't get hit. My eyes widen as I see an army battalion of what appears to be 35 hedgehogs, coming towards us. Sonic, a couple seconds later, blasts through wall, tackling the leader of the army battalion. Infinite unsheathes his sword and then snatches mine.
"Mind if I borrow this?" He asks. "Y-Yeah…Do I have a choice?" I ask back. Infinite smirks. "No. You don't" He hums before charging towards the army battalion. As Sonic and my boyfriend fight, I bite my lip, tears streaming down my face.
I'm helpless in this moment, in this important moment. I can't fight. I can't even walk. I need to help, but I can't. This punches me in the gut. My head soon lifts to look at the stars…
And then the moon.
The moon.
Smiling weakly, I attempt to stand to my feet. As I predicted, though, my legs buckle. Infinite snaps his head to me for a split second, but the army turns his attention away from me. But, he does speak to me.
"Luna! You have to rest!" He hollers, kicking a hedgehog soldier in the face, which makes the solider topple another one down. Infinite quickly stabs the soldier in the forehead, ending their lives quickly, ending their lives without pain (talk about a change from his former self.) I shake my head weakly. "Infinite! Please listen! Get me to the moon!" I huff out. Infinite, slitting another soldier's throat wide open, turns his attention to Sonic, who chucks a dazed soldier onto the last remaining "healthy" soldier. Sonic turns his head to me. "What do you mean?"
"My powers are incorporated to the moon, right? And Infinite, you know that the moon powers me up. If you guys can get me to lie on the moon, I can heal…" I huff out, my head lightening. I expect a response, but nothing comes. Silence answers. My weak body soon is lifted into Infinite's arms. Sonic tosses something to him. Soon, I realize that my sweetheart is contacting Shadow from above. I lift my head to see a dogfight in space. I clench my jaw in rage, the rage strengthening my body a bit. I gently hop out of Infinite's arms, my legs now strong enough to support my body weight. Infinite lets out a small gasp. I grin. "I'm stronger than you think." I hum, winking at him. Infinite, instead of smiling or responding, hands my bloody sword to me, grabs me and before I could comprehend what he's doing, my chest slams onto the wing of Shadow's starship. Clutching onto the wing, I am zoomed to the moon, my body flying onto the moon when Shadow sharply turns, launching me off of his wing. When my back hits the moon's surface, something…interesting happens.
My vision sees a bright light, identical to the cliché "I see the light" phrase that is stated in young adult books when the character is about to die. The light fades, but instead of the vast, starry sky that I expected to see, I come to see memories of my life flashing before me. Then, it ends, but not with a memory.
It ends with a face.
Infinite's.
My body, in that instant, heats up, the tingling fading away. My joints pop and my muscles strengthening quicker than I've ever thought possible. My vision returns to its normal state, staring at the starry, space sky. To my surprise, I find myself being above the moon. I was floating.
Landing onto my feet, I look up to the dogfight above me. With a swing of my sword, I leap onto Shadow's incoming starship, clutching to the wing's edge. Shadow, blasting down an enemy starship, looks at me for a second.
"That was a sight to see. You glowing and all." He says. I raise a brow. "Glowing? Me? That never happened before." I hum, confused and curious of Shadow's words. Shadow smirks. "I figured. The moon healed you completely. So, you ready to head into the Death Egg when it comes?" He asks. "Wait…the Death Egg? I thought Sonic destroyed it!" I holler out. Shadow nods. "He did. Eggman constructed another one, powered by the Chaos Emeralds. The robot should be coming any second." Shadow states firmly. I nod. "Yes. I'm ready. It's time for Egghead to pay for what he has done the galaxy." I scowl. Shadow nods. "Yes…and what he did to you too. Guess you don't remember though, being in the state you were in."
"What did he do?!"
"He poisoned you. We can discuss what happened while you were later. We have a robot to destroy. Now, let's get to it."
