Escaping fate
Tras spent the rest of her punishment in silence. She never left her room once since she had the dream. Her father grew suspicious and kept a closer eye on her. Finally, she wasn't grounded.
Tras was about to walk back to the apartment when a car drove up to her. She recognized it immediately, though the driver was acting strangely.
The back window rolled down, and revealed the passenger. It was her 'mother'.
"Tras, why don't I give you a ride home?"
"No thanks, Mom, I'll walk!"
"I was afraid of this. You leave me no choice."
Her 'mother' left the vehicle and before Tras could react; she was knocked unconscious by the cloth with chloroform that was covering her face.
She carried the unconscious Tras into the car and said coldly, "Drive."
Tras woke up to a strange sight. It was the ocean, but it felt like it kept getting closer. It was then that Tras snapped out of her drugged stupor. She was falling and there wasn't anything to break it!
SPLASH!!!
Tras was bound, and couldn't get free. It then hit her that she was really going to die. She blacked out for the last time underwater…
Tras! TRAS!!!
There was no answer to Luna's cries.
What's happening?!
Luna took over her body and felt the weight of the water all around her.
Oh, no… We're drowning! Somebody, anybody, HELP!!!!!
Satoshi snapped out of his boredom. It sounded like someone calling to him, but it kept getting weaker!
"Tras…" he said worried.
Tras, Luna! What's happening?!
Daisuke felt the cries as well. Both boys ran out of their rooms and transformed. They had to find Tras and Luna before it was too late.
What's this feeling? Where am I?
Don't worry Star, you're safe now.
Tras recognized the voice from her dream.
Mother? Is that really you?!
Yes, it is me, Star. You blacked out underwater. If you don't snap out of it soon you'll die; and the Lunar Star will be lost. You have to wake up!!
Tras!
Luna? What's going on?
You had me worried there… I thought I lost you.
We're underwater aren't we…?
Whatever gave you that idea? (Note hint of sarcasm.)
Can't you get us out of these chains?
I been trying to, but I think that they're reinforced by magic.
What are we going to do?! I don't want to die!
…
No, this can't be the end! It can't be!! NOOO!!!
Tras glowed again for the third time in her life. Slowly her wings unfurled, and this time they were…silver?
Dark and Krad arrived in time to see what looked like a shooting star.
"You felt it too, didn't you Krad?"
"Yes, what do you think that was?"
"I don't know; but I intend to find out!"
"Mind if we tag along?"
"Actually, I don't mind. We need to find the girls. That alone takes a team effort!"
"Agreed. But this alliance will only last until they are safe. Deal?"
"Fair enough."
