Luna's Visit

It was a peaceful day in Atmos and everyone was enjoying it.

"AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

… Scratch that. Someone was not enjoying this day.

Lina's screams echoed throughout the Condor as she entered the bridge where everyone was gathered. When they turned to notice her, they saw that she was extremely scared, beyond the lines of being absolutely terrified. Her hair was in a mess by how much she had been running and her twitchiness seemed to rival Stork's own paranoid twitch. The expression she was showing was one of dread, an emotion that the sorceress didn't even display at all.

"Gotta hide. Gotta hide. Can't let her find me." The Storm Hawks watched as Lina tried to find a hiding spot that was big enough for her. Now, they knew that she was as fearless and confident in any situation. So, seeing her like this was making them worried a lot. Conversely, Gourry, Zelgadis, and Amelia had a slight idea of what could be bothering Lina. But they didn't want to confirm the situation until she said it first.

Aerrow was concerned about her change in attitude so he walked up to Lina and asked, "Lina, is something wrong?" She was in the middle of rummaging through the crates, not even noticing that the young sky knight was right behind her.

"She's coming. She's coming. Gotta hide before she finds me."

He listened to her alarmed rants, getting a slight idea about what was going on. "Wait, who's coming?" At the moment he asked that, the sorceress got up and began to shake him like mad, much to the others' surprise.

"My older sister, damn it!" she shouted loud enough for the whole world to hear, "I recently got a message saying that she has found out where I am and is coming here to see me! She's probably going to punish me for all the bad things I've done!"

There was dead silence in the room as everyone stared at her momentarily. For as long they had known her, the Storm Hawks really didn't know much about her past. So, this came across as big shock for the group.

"You have a sister?!"

"Is she hot?" Finn asked before getting elbowed by Piper. He rubbed his sides, a bit annoyed that he would get hit over something like that. It was a legitimate question (well, at least to him).

"Well, we don't know much about Lina's sister either," Zelgadis spoke up, thinking that someone should give the kids some clarification to Lina's sudden change of character, "The only things we know about her is that she is a part-time waitress, a Knight of Ceiphied, and Lina gets scared out of her wits whenever she hears her mentioned."

The Storm Hawks listened before looking over at Lina, who was now building a little fort for herself to hide in. "And she's going to kill me when she finds out all the bad things I did!" They sweatdropped intensely, now thinking that she may have been taking this too far. Besides, wasn't Ceiphied a benevolent deity in their world? If her sister was a knight under the Order of Ceiphied (they were thinking that a Knight of Ceiphied was just a regular knight that follows duties under Ceiphied), then surely she wasn't that bad… Or Lina's over-destructive magic and short tempered had cause her to be a wanted criminal on her world.

"As much as I would enjoy seeing Lina like this," Stork said after remaining silent through her breakdown session, "But I don't think her sister will have an easy time getting here. I recently install a new security system and if anyone tries to set one foot on the Condor, they would be most likely incinerated, even her."

At that moment, Lina stopped building her hiding fort and looked at the merb with disbelief. "… Really?" Now she knew her older sister very well, and she knew that a few measly traps weren't going to stop her once she set her mind to something. But she also knew Stork in the short time they had spent together and she knew that he would come up with ways to combat any danger, whether it be monster or natural disaster, and live.

He nodded and as if on cue, the sounds of a skimmer coming their way sounded which was followed by the intruder alarm sounding. The merb grinned maniacally as he rubbed his hands together. "Now, we just wait until the intruder surren-!"

Before he could finish, sounds of traps being sprung were heard throughout the ship. This could have been a good thing. However, it was soon followed by the sounds of metal being slashed and shredded, along with wolf howls. The final echo of something being broken, possible a pipe, had everyone worried. They were not dealing with any normal intruder.

Feeling that sense of dread coming back, Lina screamed before ducking behind her fort, "DON'T LET HER FIND ME!" Everyone else in the room quickly assembled themselves, standing at the entrances of the bridge. They weren't entirely sure if the person attacking was Lina's sister. However, the one thing that they did know was that he, she, or it was very powerful.

It was a few seconds later that the middle door shot open, causing everyone to rush right in front of it. But instead of a big scary-looking invader, it was a young woman wearing strange clothes that were similar to those from the Red World. With her, there was a big green wolf-like creature that seemed to have a human-like quality to his expression. Of course, it didn't help that he was snarling at the group in fear of attacking his owner.

Staring at them, the woman stated, "Sheesh, if this is how you greet visitors, I would hate to see what you do with your enemies." She entered the room with her wolf companion before sitting in one of the Storm Hawks' chairs. "Anyway, I'm guessing you're friends with Lina, right? I'm Luna Inverse and I'm currently looking for her."

The Storm Hawks, Amelia, and Zelgadis had their jaws dropped when she uttered those words (Gourry just silently stared at the green wolf for some unknown reason). She was Lina's sister?! Other than the similar hair color (though Luna's was a little darker), they had no other likenesses to make them think that they were sisters. Of course, that did mean that they could be blood relatives too.

After a couple minutes of awkward silence, Piper decided to approach their new guest and properly greet her. "It's a real honor to meet you, Lady Luna. Even though we haven't heard about you until now, it is delightful to meet a sister of Lina's and a Ceiphied knight at that."

Luna looked over at Piper with an unimpressed expression on her face. "… I'm guessing that you must be the overly smart yet highly misguided Piper, right?" She leaned back in her chair while stretching her arms. "Nice to meet you too, I guess." Piper grimaced as she listened to the scarlet-haired woman. Why did she feel like she had just been insulted?

She didn't have time to dwell on it though as Finn went to greet her next. "Hi! I'm Finn! You know, you're actually gorgeous for someone who's related to Lina." Piper wanted to slap her head for the way her team mate was talking to their guest. Of course, it did help her ease her aggravation when she heard the massive pile of boxes groan.

Luna gave a curious look at Finn, almost concentrating on him before smiling. "Ah, the sharpshooter who thinks he's Casanova." She then leaned close, putting her head on her fist. "You know, you seem pretty decent… But I think Spot considers otherwise." The wolf creature snarled at the sharpshooter, causing him to snap out of his affectionate mood and into fear mode. Seeing his fear, the creature relaxed with an amused smirk on his face.

Luna also gave a smile before turning her attention to Junko and Stork. "You must be the wallop with the self-esteem issues… And the one who has been giving me the evil eye is Stork." Junko blushed with timidity, surprise to hear something like that from someone who he had never met before. Stork, on the other hand, remained silent as he glared at the guest.

"I think these are yours." After a second, she tossed over a bunch of metal parts towards the merb who caught them with ease. He stared at them for a quick second before going into depression. Six weeks of working on defensive procedures for nothing.

She smirked before turning her attention to Radarr who was also suspicious of her presence. "And this little guy must be Radarr." She glanced over at her wolf companion and asked, "Why don't you two go play?" The wolf looked up at her annoyed as if he didn't want to. However, a quick stern look from Luna changed his mind and he quickly walked over to blue creature, who in turn stared at his approaching form.

As both Radarr and the wolf went to get better acquainted, Gourry still couldn't help but feel something familiar about Luna's companion. "You know… I feel like I have met him before."

"I know what you mean, Gourry." Zelgadis also had a suspicious feeling about the wolf too, but his suspicions were much more established than his companion. Amelia, on the other hand, thought it looked like an ordinary wolf (except for the green fur).

As soon as she heard them speaking, Luna looked over at them and spoke, "And I guess you three are Lina's regular companions: the dense swordsman, the angsty chimera, and the clumsy princess." Both Zelgadis and Amelia facefaulted while Gourry scratched his head over her comments. They didn't know where she was getting these humiliating but almost spot on titles. But if it was from Lina, they had a thing or two to say about that.

"And that leaves the young sky knight, Aerrow." The young woman soon looked at the last person she was to address who in turn stared back at her. Her amusement laid in how someone such as him who had saved his world numerous times was still not acknowledged because of his age. After all, her sister was not that much older than her and she did some pretty incredible things too. Of course, she wasn't going to let her know anytime soon.

"… Yea, that's me," Aerrow finally spoke, keeping up his stern appearance that he had on when Luna enter, "Just out of curiosity, where exactly did you hear about us?" In truth, he didn't like that she had completely mocked every one of his teammates, even if it was sort of accurate. Just because she was a celebrated hero on her world didn't give her the right to talk down to them.

Luna didn't seem to be bothered by the boy's serious look and replied, "Just around, usually from people who have heard rumors about my sister. Of course, it would help if she wrote more often instead of once every three months or so." At her own mention of her sister, she started to casually look around. "Speaking of which, where is Lina?"

Before Aerrow could answer, Stork covered his mouth in hindsight of him answering truthfully. "She's not here. She went out to hunt Sky Pirates." After hearing her destroy his safety precautions, the merb did not take too kindly to her presence. He hoped that she would believe her and leave as to not get a chance to wreck his ship.

"I see…" Luna seemed to be indifferent towards the shaking boxes that were clearly visible to everyone else in the room. Of course, she would have to be deaf not to hear the whimpers of fear coming from it. "In that case, she's going to miss out on the Dragon Cuisine I got for her. I guess I should give it to you guys then."

"NO! My Dragon Cuisine!"

Lina, being blinded by the thought of a free high-priced meal, popped out of her hiding place very quickly. Of course, she soon noticed that it was a trap as Luna waved at her like a sly person. The people who she was traveling with stared at her in shock and she soon realized that she was dead meat… Very dead meat.

Before Lina could make it out of the room and towards the nearest safe house, Luna grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back. "Hey, Lina. It's nice to see you again. It's been a long time since you left home, hasn't it?"

Lina gave a small if not shaky nod at Luna, trying her best not so fear. "Y-yea, it has been." Snapping herself back into her tough, gung ho self, she said, "So, how have you guys doing? Is mom and dad okay?"

"Oh, they're good for the most part," Luna answered, before becoming serious, "But as for you, I heard that you're becoming a very bad girl."

Lina gulped as her sister continued with her lecture. "From what I have heard, you've been causing a lot of trouble around here. And you know what happens when you cause trouble, right?" The others listened in, worried about how Luna was taking this. After all, Lina had reasons for doing those things… Maybe not very good reasons, but they were still reasons.

"You know if you cause trouble, I have to put you in line." It was evident that the sorceress was now scared beyond all reason of her sister now, especially when she saw her cracking her knuckles. With an evil smile, she leaned towards her with a fierce aura around her. At that moment, Lina prayed that she would make it out of this alive as Luna grabbed her shirt and started to drag her. "Would you excuse us for a moment?"

"WAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Lina tried to make a break for it, but it was inevitable due to her sister's strong grip. The others watched the two exited out of the room and into the hallway where it was quiet… Too quiet. The silence was then soon followed by screams of pain and various other sounds that were indescribable to the group. But that still didn't stop them from imagining the horrors that were befalling their friend.

Zelgadis, trying to be collective in this type of situation, spoke, "It can't be that bad." To everyone else, they tried to agree with a sound mind. But of course, the imagined horror of what was happening to her scared them too. It was hard not to visualize the intensity of Luna's punishment.

And as if by fate wishing for comedy relief, a bunch of Cyclonian grunts entered onto the bridge a few moments later. At first, they were wondering why the merb's alarm system didn't go off when they boarded. But soon, they didn't care because this meant a perfect ambush for them. "Alright! Surrender your arms and-!"

Their epic entrance was soon ceased by them realizing that their enemy was paying more attention to a door than them. "… Ummm, what's going on?"

Finally noticing the Talons by one of them asking, the group turned to them while sweatdropping. "Lina is being punish by her sister." Aerrow was hesitant in giving his answer since he didn't even believe it himself. It just seemed like a scene from one of those sappy dark soap operas.

"Oh…" The Talons seemed pretty calm before something popped up in their heads. "Wait! She has a sister?!"

The others nodded as Stork elaborated, "And apparently, she's afraid of her." The grunts blinked before turning their full attention towards the door and Lina's screams. Like the Storm Hawks and their guests, they didn't know what to make of it. Listening to whatever was happening had scared them into silence for the most part.

After a few seconds of not speaking, one of them asked, "Do you mind if we used your radio? We want to contact the rest of the Cyclonian army as soon as possible." Everyone in the room quickly glared at them, knowing that they were probably going to play a trick.

"You better not call for reinforcement," Zelgadis said as he glared at them. Just because Lina was out of commission didn't mean that the rest were going to take a fight lying down.

"Are you kiddin'!" one of the Talons replied back, "We were just going to tell them that Lina Inverse has a sister! They're going to flip when they tell them she's way scarier than her!" Right after he said that, the others stood there silent, watching as the grunts went over to the radio and began to contact their comrades. Even though they didn't actually give permission, it didn't matter now. A lot had happen and it was painful to even think about it further.

Throughout the Atmos, the news of Lina having a sister was spreading within Talon ranks and soon to everyone else in the world. Every sky knight, thief, pirate, prisoner, and various other persons had now knowledge about Lina's sibling (and upon hearing what was happening, they very scared too). It had even reached the highest levels of Cyclonia nobility up to the empress herself. Once hearing this interesting report, Cyclonis found new appreciation for being an only child. But then, she demanded that there should be triple guards at every post in case this so-called sister decided to visit.

Meanwhile back on the Condor, Luna settled herself in and Lina was in a short-term coma from the punishment. Stork, for the moment, was rewriting his "Dangers and How to Combat Them" list. He finally found a way to counter Lina in case his slug strategy didn't work. Now, he just needed to find a counter for Luna.

Author's Notes:

I'm not dead! I'm still trying to focus on writing!

Anyway, I wanted to do a Murk Raider follow-up to the last one. However, I soon got an interest into Luna thanks to djwagLmuffin on DA (read her comics, she's awesome). So, I decided to write what would happen if Luna visited her sister in Atmos. I don't consider it to be my best work in this drabble series, but it's pretty good.

The problem was making out Luna's character since the only thing I know about Luna in canon is that she is Lina's big sister, she is a Knight of Cepheid and she scares Lina a lot. The rest can come from djwagLmuffin since her interpretation of Luna is the best thus far. However, it kinda counteracted with how I wanted to story to go. Hopefully after I did a heavy revision of it, you guys like it.

Anyway, thank you AceStarKnight for favoriting and story-alerting this. I hope you like this!
