Hey guys! Long time since I last posted. Had a hectic time because of school. But don't worry, I have more time now to this time I won't disappoint you all. I'll most likely post every two weeks or so. For now, enjoy this chapter. This time it doesn't have too much explaining and a bit of action. Made it like that so that you don't get bored. Enjoy!
In A Museum Close to the Loonatics Tower...
It was dark out, the light from the moon bright enough to illuminate the rooms through the glass windows. A dark figure was roaming around a museum. No one could see the figure at all; not even the security guard with a flashlight illuminating the area it shined brightly. The guard was on high alert, told that the jewelry thief was on the high run and might target their new display of the necklace warn by Queen Antoinette from the 25th century Acme England. The guard walked away from the area, making sure the cameras worked and the necklace was still there. Once he left the room, however, the figure left the walls and got close to the necklace. The silhouette of the figure made it hard to tell how the person looked. It took the necklace without setting off the alarms and turned to one of the cameras, golden eyes with black slits that were in place of pupils shined from the moonlight. And just as fast as the figure appeared on cameras, it disappeared from the room and cameras, leaving just a not of what was stolen. The figure appeared once again outside of the museum, the lunar light now illuminating the figure properly. The figure turned out to be a woman looking to be 24, with hip-long brunette hair. Her top was short and her skirt had a long slit from mid-thigh down to the ankles, some black high heals placed on her feet that seemed both comfortable and uncomfortable, and small black leather gloves on her hands. If another thing helped to describe her, it was that she looked exactly like Luna, but with much longer and different colored hair. She held the stolen necklace in one hand and a strange staff in her other hand.
"Heh. That was too easy for such a high-tech museum. I didn't even have to use my powers," the girl said. She turned to the moon, her eyes shining in the light and her pupils changing to normal ones. "I hope the others are safe."
Luna woke up with a start, having a cold sweat on her forehead. She put a hand through her hair, her red hair falling off to reveal mid-forearm long, wavy brunette hair. "I really do hope those nightmares would go away someday," she mumbled to herself. She looked at her watch and saw that it was too early in the morning to get up and do normal activities. She wiped her sweat off and laid back in bed, trying to go back to sleep only to end up sleepless. She gave off a sigh and got up, the moonlight shining on her skin. She had slight marks on her neck that shone slightly on her cheeks, and small cat ears that camouflaged with her hair. An orange-tan tail with black stripes that resembled a tigers fell from behind her that swayed along with her movements, swaying as slick as a cat's. She still looked incredibly human even with these strange animalistic traits of hers. No one knew of this except the ones she truly trusted.
The Next Morning...
Everyone was inside Tech's lab, Luna sitting at a chair with her red wig on and rubbing her arms nervously. "Do I really need to get a shot?" she asked nervously, obviously not liking the idea.
"Don't worry. You won't get a shot. We're just going to put this on you to see what your powers might be and why they seem get off the radar so much," Tech explained. He walked over to her with a pad in his hand. "Just hold still so we can get things quicker." He wrapped the pad wrapper on her upper arm and a holographic screen came up from it. He looked at the screens and analyzed the data that came up. "Hmm...very interesting."
"What's interesting? Her DNA?" Duck asked, unamused.
"That's one thing, yes." Duck's eyes went wide for a moment.
"Really? I was just kidding about that." Luna held her breath a bit in a nervous reaction. Tech noticed her tense up and patted her shoulder gently.
"Just relax, Luna. I'm almost done," he reassured her. After a minute or two, he removed the pad. "All done. Now for some exercises to see how your powers work." Luna nodded and stood up, fixing her sleeve back down. She got up and followed him to the training simulator, the others following afterwards. She went inside and waited for the simulator to start or one of them to get inside to test her out. "Ok. I'll have the simulator at an easy level to see how your powers are activated. All you have to do is fight off the robots," he explained. Luna nodded, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath before getting started. "Ready? Go!" Robots came from all sides, aiming straight at her. As soon as the robots were just a foot away from her, she opened her eyes and jumped high into the air, making the robots clash into each other and becoming nonfunctional. She did a small flip in the air and landed a few feet away from them, landing on her feet and going lower to spread out the momentum and gravity. A robot had gone over the pile and was flying towards her, but she high-kicked the robot into the wall. She continued on with the simulation as she did, not seeming to have let out her powers at any point, but made the others be incredible surprised by her skill. Ace and Tech were both surprised the most at how calm she looked at doing so.
"Strange how she hasn't activated her powers yet when we eventually would," Ace said to Tech.
"Should I make t harder for her?" Tech asked him.
"Guaranteed." With that, Tech clicked a few buttons on the simulator and activated a few more things to make the fight more interesting. Small flying saucers with blades on them came flying to attack her. She heard and saw them and reacted quickly. She flipped backwards, avoiding the two saucers that were coming at her and others that came afterwards. She moved her right hand to her left hip as if to grab something, but realized what was supposed to be there was not. A flying disk came at her from the front and a robot from behind, giving her no space to escape.
'One thing left to do,' she thought. She made a small sign with her hands before making a hand go towards her right and left, an invisible force pushing the robot and disk back in the direction it came from. This is where everyone was taken back, making most of them have their jaw dropped low. Figuratively speaking, of course. Luna was breathing slightly heavily and started to fight with an invisible force, going into offensive now. As she fought, it seemed like she was finally letting go of what was holding her back. They were all astounded by the way she fought with these unknown powers. Tech analyzed over the data was able to figure out what her powers were.
"Okay. So far she seems to have only released around two powers. One being super strength and the other is wind manipulation. She can practically do almost the same as Weathervane can with the weather." Everyone turned to Tech as if he just created something dangerous and in amazement. Who would have thought this human girl had such power in her and was able to hide it for over 4 years. Once the session was over, Luna came out of the simulation room with a bit of a sweat. She wiped it off with her sleeve and was careful about her hair.
"How did I do?" she had barely asked before they surrounded her, except Tech and Ace of course. They stayed behind to check on the data they collected. Tech wasn't satisfied with the results they got.
"Something isn't right. Something else is in there other than having radiation from the meteor. It's been bugging me since I started analyzing her DNA," he said. Ace raised an eyebrow and turned to him after observing the praises their new member got from the others.
"I know what you mean about something not being right, doc," he said, crossing his arms across his chest. "Did you notice when she was fighting how she moved to grab something by her hip that wasn't there? It looked liked she had grabbed for a weapon, something like a knife.." Tech looked up and over to him.
"Or a sword," Tech finished. Tech turned back to his computer and started to do some research. "I believe that maybe it's an outer material other than the meteor that has affected her into getting powers. I'll have to do a scan on that sword of hers to confirm my theory." Ace nodded and went with the rest of the group to give his own praise to her. What they didn't know, was that the whole time they whispered, she had been listening to them talk about her.
So here it is, guys. Hope you liked it. I did my best on writing the section. I'm not that good at writing action or their moves. Forgive me for anything that seems off about it and for how short this is. I'm still writing this even after not getting any reviews because I want to get a Major in writing. Please help me get better by telling me your thoughts on my story line so far or critiquing it. Thanks. Until next time!
