Chapter 10
The moon that never sets… the end is near.
A/N: Try not to let my story be perfect to the game. I changed it up a bit to my liking! And things will definitely be wrong and a bit confusing since I skip ahead on many parts…but you'll understand!! Oh and since I doubt everyone fights in battles I'll take up battle time with side conversations!!!!

"We will have to go to the core of the moon…" Rose pretty much pointed out the obvious. "It's a difficult task." She awaited any answer but received none.
The whole group had been silent. They finally made it to the moon and they weren't sure what to make of it. They looked at their surroundings and in each person worry built up. They worried for each other, finally they had people they could actually count on and if someone died it would be heart breaking. They were worried if they would be able to save the earth from the trouble, and they were worried for the favorite couple in the group. If either of the two were to die the other would live physically but would probably die bit by bit on the inside.
"We can do this…" Aileana sighed before tilting her head to one side then the other allowing her joints to crack and stretch. "We have to do this…" She looked at everyone with a smile on her face. They looked at her as if she was mildly insane, how could she smile when so much was on the line. "I know I might be a little crazy but… we knew from the start it would be a difficult task and it could be harder to save Shana but..." She saw all the somber faces before turning her eyes down. "I'll be quiet now."
"No… you're right, I came all this way to save Shana and I won't let her down now." Dart said and the group got themselves together and headed on forward to save Shana and the world from total destruction. As they continued on lights flashed all about, when they cleared they found themselves on a grass area. The quizzical faces proved what they were all they inking…' did we get sent back to earth?!?'
"We're still on the moon if that's what you're all thinking."
"…" Miranda just sped off without even waiting for the cries of worry that followed. She stopped short when she came across a big red rose stuck in the ground. When the rose opened up inside was a face… on that Miranda knew well. "Mother…" She whispered gently to herself. She almost thought she was going insane when the rose spoke to her. 'Yeah, now I know I've been spending way too much time with Aileana… her insanity is rubbing off on me.' Miranda looked at the rose as it seemed to beg for her forgiveness. She eventually agreed to forgive her mother and seemed to have reunited with the other.
When she returned the silence hadn't changed. Everyone was silent and heavy with worry, and that's what scared her the most. The chatter box known as Aileana would've been trying to lift everyone's spirits and reassuring everyone that when it was all over that she would throw a big party when it was over, but she seemed somber herself. The girl was much too quiet and even more so was putting distance between her and Lavitz… something was terribly wrong and she knew what it was, but no one had time to really say anything because what they say next was strange.
"Bale?" Albert spoke up first. Everyone seemed to be just as puzzled as he was.
"It's only part of it." Aileana said. Everyone spotted the Inn and agreed it would be a good idea to rest for a couple of minutes seeing how they really didn't have the chance to rest ever since Kongol had waken up that bug at the divine tree. She sighed and followed the others into the inn. They sat for a little bit before a song came on the piano nearby. There was a woman there playing a song that Haschel recognized easily as well as Dart.
"That's Claire's favorite song." He said gaining everyone but Aileana's attention… She was off making sure the stocks were filled. The group then headed out again on the journey to the core only to be stopped by Haschel. Before them stood a girl in what appeared to be fighting clothes and then she walked though what seemed to be a mirror.
*~*~*~*~*~*
They followed that girl to yet another mirror and Haschel had gone in after her. Despite Haschel's fighting knowledge the girl had given him some trouble. Quite a few time he tried talking to her but she seemed bent on destroying him, almost as if she hated his guts through and through. The fight had continued on for a little bit longer before Haschel had finally found a way to stop her ruthless attacks and stopped her in her tracks. The fight had ended and once again the group set out without any further delay. Before anyone could blink an attack by a dragon had been made on them and the group split up to save their lives. Dart, Rose, and Aileana went one way and the others a completely different way.
"Where are we now?" Meru groaned shaking herself of the dust that clung to her body.
"If we knew do you think we'd still be sitting here with dumb looks on our faces??" Miranda snapped nastily.
"Let's keep moving…" Haschel pointed to the direction where Lavitz had been searching for any sign of his beloved and the other two that were with her. Everyone headed out and Lavitz sighed.
"She probably split up with Rose and Dart." Aireana said placing a hand on his shoulder. Before long Kongol had walked away from everyone and saw a figure… one who he identified as his brother Indora.
*~*~*~*~
"Ow!" Aileana resisted the urge to touch the spot the dragon hit her at. She stared up at the black dragon in front of her face. Apparently all they could do is block until they came up with a weak spot on it to attack… the weak spot Rose refused to reveal. She got back into stance knowing she couldn't hold on too much longer… something about being on the moon that never sets has been draining her energy rapidly.
"His weak spot is his heart! You can only get it after he does his laser." Rose finally admitted, unfortunately the message fell upon Dart's ears alone as Aileana had finally lost all consciousness. Within moments the dark dragon had been defeated much Rose's disappointment.
"We have to get her to an inn." Dart reached a hand out to grab her but yanked it back. "Quickly, she's out with fever." He said striking immediate shock to the other female's system. Without hesitation they lifted the half human, half wingly and hoisted her over Dart's shoulder. They rushed to the Inn and had occupied another room unaware that the others were there already. "This isn't good… she's not even perspiring out any of the heat." He said and Rose just left to go find a buck and to retrieve some cool water. She found the bucket with little problem but nearly ran into Albert on the way back. She slowly turned her eyes up at the king who immediately noticed a change in her.
"Your sister is ill." Rose said simply. "She has come down with a fever."
"This could slow down our journey."
'If my suspicions are correct it might speed us up.' She thought silently before long crashing was heard from the room she and Dart had previously been in and the rest of the group left the room the had been and they saw rose drop the small bucket of water and run to the other room. She saw Dart with his sword out trying to protect himself from a blow from Aileana's staff.
"Hey Aile-ail… What are you doing??" Meru stepped forward to touch her shoulder but only got smacked by the girl. Everyone stared at her... she was definitely not herself.
"You will all die here." She said breaking the inn window open and jumped from it and took off running.
"Lavitz… your girlfriend is psycho!" Meru said holding her stomach.
"That wasn't her. We must hurry if we wish to truly save her, Shana and the planet." Rose said with renewed confidence to get the group to continue. They left in silence while Aireana hushed Lavitz to keep his cool.
*~*~*~*~*~*~~*
"This place sure doesn't know how to bring up one's past." Meru said rejoining
the group after her fight with the Archangel. "I guess I'm just lucky it shows
part of your past."
"Why? Have something you don't want to share with the rest of us?" Miranda poked the girl who covered her mouth turning an odd shade of red. Lavitz looked around the surrounding areas before stopping in his tracks making Kongol nearly trip over him.
"Could you warn someone when you stop like that?" Kongol complained.
"What do you know that the rest of us don't?" Lavitz turned his eyes to Rose. He had kept his patience up until now. He wanted to know exactly what happened to Aileana and why she had promised death to them all. That couldn't have been her talking really… "You always seem to know what's going on…." His tone lightened and Rose sighed.
"There wasn't just one Moon Child." She admitted. "There were two Ultimate Virages. The Virage Embryo and the Virage Mistress... Both did tremendous damage in the Dragon Campaign. I had heard rumors that once the Moon child for the Virage Embryo was in place the Virage Mistress would return as well." She said looking at the shocked faces all around.
"And my sister is that Mistress?"
"Apparently your mother had been the original but with the extraordinary powers y our sister possessed the Mistress left your mother going to Aileana." She told the king. "But if we are going to save her and Shana and the world we have to go!!" She was becoming impatient and they rushed forward only to be met by Zeig. He attacked them, mainly at Dart and took the dragoon spirit once more. A smile crept onto his face as it shone for him.
"After all this time it still remembers." He said turning into a dragoon in no time. Dart looked at the man with mixed emotions but felt no need to say a word because it was obvious after all they went through with him they were eventually going to fight him. Rose stepped forward to one of Dart's sides while Miranda came forth wanting to express some anger.
The battle wasn't very long and everyone fighting and on the sidelines had been silent. There was too much at stake right now to slack off completely like they had before… there was too much to think about, but thoughts came to an end when something strange began to happen to Zeig… like another person was emerging. Another person was emerging… Melbu Frahma.
"I almost missed the fun." A voice uttered from above them. It was Aileana floating above them all, but she looked different. Her clothes weren't the lavender they had grown accustomed to seeing her in, and her aura had a different feel to it. Nothing was the same about her, almost as if she had already merged with the Virage Mistress already. "Soon my beloved shall arise and together we will carry out the wish of Soa." The voice said… it definitely wasn't her voice and it disturbed the hell out of everyone.
She watched the scene unfold before them as Melbu Frahma made his short explanation of how he lived before he absorbed Shana's powers and merged with the Virage Embryo.
"Then I will stop you myself." A familiar voice came from nowhere as Lloyd appeared dragon buster in hand. A fight ensued with Lloyd showing off the power of the Divine Dragon but before long Melbu Frahma attacked him, killing off the man.
"Perfect…." She sneered placing herself in front of the man who seemed ready to attack her as well. "You cannot harm me; I give you the power needed for the destruction of all the earth." Her words were slow and held a deadly meaning. She reached a hand forward and the power of the man before them increased immensely, before she had been sucked up inside of the Embryo herself. The battle then soon began.
"I'll fight." Rose stepped forth once again with the dragon buster in her hand.
"I will too." Aireana said.
"Are you sure??"
"Positive." She looked at the spot where her father had been before the body disappeared. 'For the family I will fight…' She thought to herself before the surrounding areas seemed to change as if it were alive.
