Queen Sunstar: Chapter eight is here! Enjoy!

Twila: Queen Sunstar doesn't own me, Brighton, or anyone else in her stories except her own characters like Solance, and Lady Flame.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wario and Solance put their right hands down on the mountain, activating their Earthbrands. Yellow light seeped into the mountain, calming it down. Luigi worked his way around the base of the mountain, searching for the remains of the Blade. He switched to solar mode, and hovered. In Brightsun form, Luigi could levitate, use Thunderhand, and bend electricity to his will. He dove low to skim along a ledge, and heard the sound of Mallows cloud, Mel, behind him.

"Anything, Brightsun?" Mallow called.

"Nothing. I think Geno may have done something to hide it, or lied about it." Brightsun called over his shoulder, flaming through a rock. He heard Mallow crash into the rock.

"I'm okay! Mel, how about you?" Mallow was answered by a squeak, "Good. Lets get moving."

"Wait, are there any cave systems on Mount Nimbus?" Brightsun landed gracefully on a ledge.

"Mount Nimbus is a Volcano. Volcanoes have extensive cave systems, so yes." Mallow said, guiding Mel into a landing.

"Could it have somehow landed inside a cave?" Brightsun asked.

"No, it is way too big, and it would take at least 8 million years to do what you are thinking of next." Mallow retorted.

"It did crash. We are standing on its crash site. It hit the ledge up there, and rolled to a stop down here. Mario said that Geno found no survivors, yet he looked like he had been through war." Brightsun entered the cavern, Mallow right behind him. His cell phone rang. Peach had stayed behind to research more into the celestial guardian concept.

"Yes?" Brightsun stopped and answered his phone.

"This is Peach. Wario called. He said that the pressure is rising inside the volcano, and that he and Solance can't hold on much longer." Peach said.

"Tell them to give me five more minutes. Mallow, you go wait outside." Brightsun said.

"Luigi, get out of there, now!" Peach ordered.

"I am in Brightsun form, and I can flame out if necessary. Mallow, go!" Brightsun reasoned.

Mallow left, looking dejected.

"Just be careful. Promise me you will flame out if anything happens." Peach said.

"I promise." Brightsun closed the phone, and walked further into the cavern. He formed a green fireball in his hand, and lit up the cavern. What he saw took his breath away. Many pictures covered the walls. As he walked, he saw the story of the Daybreaker unfold around him.

The first picture showed a dark shadow, and Twilis standing nearby. The next few scenes showed Twilis fighting the darkness. It looked like he was winning, until the black shadow entered his body.

"The Demon would have to be invited by him into his body." Brightsun mused, reexamining the pictures. In the corner of the picture of Twilis with the shadow entering his body, Brightsun made out a single eye.

"Something made Twilis accept the shadow, but what?" Brightsun wondered, going to the next segment of pictures. These showed a terrible battle raging, and the woman in yellow standing next to the Daybreaker in one of the pictures looked like Daisy. He watched as the Daybreakers body was destroyed, and his jaw dropped. He recognized the Sun holding the sword in the picture.

"Brighton vanquished the Daybreaker? This battle must have been recent." He read the date, and nearly choked.

"It happened 5000 years ago? There is no way that's Brighton." He mused, remembering Eldstars story. He moved on to the next segment of pictures. He saw the shadow take Geno and Luminosity, and turn them evil. He moved on to see Geno break through the spell, and meet up with Brighton. Geno went back to the Blade, and Brightsun saw Sol and Bri die fighting, taking Smithy with them, and later, the Blade destroyed Snifit three. Then he came up to the last picture, with showed the eye. The eye looked human, but the pupil was a slit. Brightsun turned and walked back, reverting back to human form as he walked. He walked up to the ledge, and felt the ground quake violently. Solance warped to him, as the ledge crumbled away in the earthquake. Luigi felt himself trying to go solar, and felt a sudden blast of pain on his legs. He looked up to see falling rocks, and everything went black.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daisy landed in a meadow. She reverted back to normal, breathing heavily. Geno looked around, and racked his brains on where they were.

"Where are we?" Daisy asked.

"I don't know. What did you feel before you transformed?" Geno asked.

"I don't remember." Daisy stood, "Which way?"

"Lets head to the forest, that way." Geno said, taking the lead.

The pair walked in silence. Daisy thought about her transformation, while Geno thought of the life he had left behind at Eldstars Haven, to go work undercover for Brighton. The forest drew closer, and it was Daisy who figured out where they were.

"That's Forever Forest, which means we are in Ladila Plains. We should be able to find Luigi's Mansion, and use the pipe there to get to Mushroom Kingdom. From there, we can go over to the pipe house, and warp back to Skyland." Daisy said.

"Ladila Plains?" Geno paled.

"What?" Daisy asked.

"Ladila Plains is known for its rolling hills! Start running, and don't look back!" Geno screamed.

"Rolling hills?" Daisy asked, still lost.

"Do I have to spell it out for you? The land is always changing here! Sometimes the land will roll, forming a hill that moves!" Geno screamed, "Get moving!"

"You mean, like that thunder I have been hearing, caused by that hill that's speeding right toward us? Run!" Daisy ran with Geno right behind her. The hill bore down on them, and swept them up into the air. Geno closed his eyes, not wanting to look at where he was being carried to. He couldn't hear a thing except the roaring noise as the plains shifted around. Suddenly, everything stopped moving. Silence filled the air. Geno cracked open an eye, and looked around. He was at the edge of Forever Forest.

"Daisy?" He called out, standing up.

"Geno?" Daisy called back, "Where are you?"

"I'm on the edge of the forest!" Geno called, "You?"

"I see you, stay where you are!" Daisy joined him, in Flora form, "I panicked, and transformed. I hovered over the plains during the earthquake."

"You could have at least saved me from the horror of riding out a plains quake!" Geno replied, entering the forest, "Daisy, lead the way."

It was dark out when they stopped in a clearing for the night. Geno watched Daisy sleep, and got up to walk into the woods. He sat on a log, closed his eyes, and waited.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luigi felt a warm glow, and opened his eyes. He knew at once that he was dreaming, as Brighton, looking like he had never been hurt, walked over to him.

"Luigi, Solance?" Brighton called out.

"Dad?" Luigi asked, "Am I dead?"

Luigi tried to move, but found that he was pinned down by the rock.

"No, I think you are dreaming. What happened?" Brighton asked, concern in his voice. Luigi noticed that Brighton was floating.

"I think the volcano erupted. I got trapped on an edge, and Solance warped to me to save me, but the ledge broke. I was falling, and I felt myself trying to go solar." Luigi whispered, groaning as he felt the rock shift. Brighton seemed to be thinking.

"Luigi, I am going to give you my Sunstone. It helped you before, and maybe it will help you now." Brighton looked up at the roof of the cave, obliviously hearing something with his heightened sense of hearing. He handed over the Sunstone to Luigi, and faded out as Luigi went solar. Luigi reverted to Brightsun form, and flamed out. He went to Solance, who had a gash over his right eye, and blood had ran from the gash to pool under him. He touched him, and flamed outside. His legs refused to support him and, and he had the sensation of devolving as darkness fell over him again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Geno felt like he had been waiting forever, when the surrounding woods lit up in a soft golden glow.

"About time you showed up, boss." Geno said.

"What happened to you? The plan was to go undercover and relay information about the Daybreaker at twenty-four hour intervals, not escape with Daisy." Brighton said.

"Plans change. If I stayed, the Daybreaker would have killed me." Geno said.

"Geno, this also creates a new problem. The Daybreaker is going to replace you, and he'll want someone powerful, like Solarton, or Eldstar." Brighton said.

"Lets see, he already has a sun, and if his plan is what I think it is, he'll go for a moon, like Twila." Geno said.

He talked with Brighton for a little while longer, and told him to wake up. After Brighton faded from view, Geno stood up, and walked over to the still sleeping Daisy.

"I can see what Luigi sees in her. Where he lacks in courage, she gives him hope." Geno laid down, looking up at the stars, "Luigi, I'll do everything in my power to bring her back to you." Geno fell asleep.

Daisy woke as sunlight filtered through the trees. She looked up at the Sun, and recognized it as Brightstar, Brightons younger brother. She got up, finding the Geno was already awake.

"You are up early." She said.

"Light sleeper, woke when the sunlight hit my face." Geno said, "I already found breakfast." He pointed to the pile of raspberries next to him.

After eating a quick meal of the berries, the two set off. They came up to the Mansion around late afternoon, and Daisy found the spare key hidden in the flowerpot next to the door. She left Geno, who went to explore, and went up to the master bedroom. She breathed in the still lingering smell of Luigi's cologne.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luigi woke as the sunlight hit his face. He felt his legs throbbing has he moved. Both legs were bandaged from below the knee. He put weight down on his left leg slowly, and winced as it protested the move. His right leg was not much better off. The door opened, and Peach came in.

"Luigi, you woke up. Your legs were bruised and scraped up pretty badly. Queen Nimbus was able to deal with you on site, but she is still working on Solance." Peach said.

"Does this mean I'm stuck here for a few days?" Luigi asked.

"We are here for two weeks, while both you and Solance heal." Peach said.

Wario came in with the Queen right behind him.

"Green Bean! I was so worried!" Wario bawled.

"Its good to see that you woke up. No walking for the next two days." Queen Nimbus was carrying more gaze, tape, scissors, and an antiseptic solution in a bottle, "Time to clean and change your dressings. Solance is fine. I had a tough time getting his head to stop bleeding. It was a surface scrape." She dipped the scissors into a bowl with some of the antiseptic solution mixed with water to clean them, "We can't risk getting your scrapes infected, now can we?" She smiled, and cut away the bandage. Carefully, she peeled it back, revealing purple and red flesh underneath it.

"Wario, Oww! That stuff burns! Quit calling me Green Bean!" Luigi cried, not wanting to watch Queen Nimbus work.

"Sorry, but we are brothers, and calling you Green Bean feels so natural! Its like me calling Waluigi Stickman, and Mario, Jumpman." Wario said.

"I have to cut some dead skin off here, so hold still." Queen Nimbus said, dipping the scissors in the solution again. Luigi squeezed his eyes shut, waiting for the cold, stinging sensation of the scissor blades to touch burning skin. He felt the release of pressure, and felt blood running down his leg. Then his leg got wrapped up again, and the same procedure happened to his other leg.

"There, done. Your dressings will get checked each hour." Queen Nimbus said, leaving.

"What about the mission? I don't think the Daybreaker is going to wait." Luigi said.

"Wario and I, and I still can't believe I agreed to this, are heading back to Skyland to intercept the Daybreaker. General Guy's Fly Guys saw the Blade set down near Skyland." Peach said.

"You and Solance will catch up to us after you two recover." Wario added, "I get to travel with a beautiful lady!"

"That beautiful lady is Mario's girlfriend, so keep you paws to yourself!" Peach snapped.

"Who says I can't dream?" Wario asked.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bowser and DK arrived at the parliament buildings. The Daybreaker arrived seconds later, and the sky went dark as Lord Sunnings intercepted him. Bowser and DK both joined the fray. Bowser breathed fire at the Daybreaker, and watched him ghost out of the way.

"You want to fight like that?" Bowser growled, going invisible. He breathed fire again, and missed as the Daybreaker ghosted out, again. The Daybreaker hit Lord Sunnings head on, causing the Sun to double over in pain.

"I'm okay! For that, eat fire! Celestial fireballs ignite!" Sunnings gasped, firing off a round of fireballs.

"Waterbrand!" the Daybreaker destroyed the attack. Brightstar, Lady Flame, and Twila came running out of the building, joining the fight. DK raised his fist, and punched at a ghosting Daybreaker. Peach and Wario arrived by warp pipe, and Wario levitated a chunk of earth, his eyes burning with rage.

"Waluigi, don't make me hurt you! You are my brother! Rock Throw!" Wario screamed, nailing Waluigi in the side.

"Nice try, Earth Elemental, Pyronia, nice to see you." Waluigi growled.

'Please, let this work!' "Nice to see you too, Waluigi! Wildfire Rage!" Peaches body lit up with fire as she used her anger vibe. Suddenly, she knew what she needed to do, "Fire Guardian transform!" She evolved into Pyronia. Pyronia looked much like Flora, except she wore red, and her hair was of fire. Her wing tips were tipped with fire, "Want to die, Daybreaker?"

"I have no need of you, Pyronia. it's the moon I want." Waluigi turned to Twila.

"Waluigi, fight back! This is your mother talking to you! Fight back for your body now!" Twila raised her staff, and fired off a blast of blue light at the Daybreaker, who caught it in his hand.

"I am part moon, mother!" Waluigi growled, sending the ball of blue moon magic back at her. Twila screamed, and Sunnings dove in front of her, taking the hit. He went down, and Waluigi ghosted out, taking Twila with him.

"Da brother not like dis at all." Brightstar said.

"We failed to protect the royal family!" Lady Flame cried.

"Dere, Dere, We try best, it okay." Brightstar comforted her.

"We tried to protect her, now DK and I have to go report back to Eleanor." Bowser walked away, head low.

"We tried really hard. Who knew that the Daybreaker had mastered Waluigi's abilities?" DK went over to Sunnings, who had been knocked out in the blast. His chest rose and fell, telling the Ape that he was still alive. DK picked up the limp form of the Sun, and carried him with him. He would get some medical attention at the hospital.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mario walked slowly, being followed by two nurses to the elevator, and rode down two floors to the ICU. He walked slowly into Brightons room.

"Shouldn't you be two floors above us, resting?" Eleanor stood.

"I had to come down and see how my father was doing. I heard that he woke up out of the coma." Mario said.

"Mario, he has a breathing tube in his mouth, and it still isn't looking that good for him." Eleanor said.

"You don't know my father, Eleanor. This is nothing compared to what he has faced before." Mario walked over to Brighton, who opened his eyes as he sensed someone nearing him.

"I hear that they say you are fighting a losing battle." Mario said.

'They don't know me, Mario. This is nothing. I'll be out of here in no time!' Brighton replied, speaking telepathically.

"That's what I keep saying. I had to come see you once I heard you woke up." Mario said.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Eleanor step outside and talk to Bowser. She came back in, fear written over her face.

"Brighton, he got Twila, and injured another Sun." Eleanor said.

For a minute, it was quiet, except for the steady beeping of the monitors. Suddenly, each monitor flat lined. Eleanor took Mario by the arm and took him back up to his room. Bowser, DK, and Yoshi followed, as a swarm of doctors flooded the O.R.

"I've noticed that every time Brighton starts doing well, something happens. Its like he takes one step forward, and two steps backward." Bowser said.

"Mario, they will bring him back. He'll start doing even better, as he begins the healing process." Eleanor said.

"I wish I were healed already, then I could go after the Daybreaker myself. I knew that Luigi wouldn't be able to handle it. He is too weak. I should have been the one to go." Mario's voice broke.

Eleanor's motherly instincts took over as she rubbed Mario's shoulders.

"Are you doubting your own brother? I still hurt from the beating he gave me for kidnapping you years ago! When you get that guy worried about someone, he don't stop at nothing until he sees that person safe again! Get a reality check, Mario! Luigi is capable of doing this! I still have the scars of the beating he gave me to prove it!" Bowser roared, showing the white lines on his left arm, and on his left cheek, "I thought Luigi really was going to kill me!"

"Its not that, Bowser. Its just that I am the one who always has to go save him, or bail him out of sticky situations. I have been saving him since the time we were born." Mario said, "Mom told me that once I cried for no apparent reason until she went to check on Luigi, and discovered he was running a fever of a 103. She said that I saved his life that day. We were only three months old then."

"I think you are not giving Luigi the credit he disserves! I have never seen him so angry before, when we fought after I kidnapped you! He was worried about you, and he fought through his fear to save you! Stop with the guilt trip already, Mario!" Bowser ragged, "Luigi about beat the living daylights outta me, to go save you!"

"Yea!" King Boo popped up through the floor, "back when I battled him, he started out fighting scared, then he changed. It was like I was fighting you!"

"King Boo, what are you doing here?" Eleanor asked, brisling. Bowser and Mario both let low growls escape their throats. DK glared warily at the ghost King, while Yoshi hid behind Mario, and shook.

"What kind of stupid question is that? This is a hospital, and I am a grim reaper!" King Boo said.

"What ever you do, you leave Brighton alone!" Mario snarled.

"I am not here to reap Brighton's soul. He is an immortal, and I don't do immortals. Yes, immortals die to. Even they don't get to live forever. I'm an immortal myself, and I'm already dead." King Boo said, "I have to go back and convince a comatose Cleft to die." He disappeared through the floor.

"I wish they would tell us what is going on with Brighton." Mario said.

They didn't have to wait much longer. Dr. Toadala came in, still wearing his surgical garb. It was common belief that when a doctor came out of the OR and his clothing was covered with blood, the news was never good. Dr. Toadala's surgical garb was coated in blood splatters.

"The news is not good. Brighton is a lot worse. The liver is healing nicely, but the toxins in his bloodstream have damaged his other organs. Also, he suffered an absence seizure, and he was down for sometime. There is no telling how bad the damage to his brain is. What I am saying is that his brain went without oxygen for nearly ten minutes. He may not be the same, when he wakes up. I can't promise anything." Dr. Toadala said.

"He will live, right?" Mario asked.

"Looking at it right now, this could still go ether way." Dr. Toadala said.

"See, Mario, He is doing fine, now." Eleanor said.

"Mario, since you are his son, and he is the ruler of Skyland, we can't keep this quiet much longer. Would you mind talking to a news reporter?" Dr. Toadala asked.

"Yea." Mario said.

"Okay. Kisa, you can come in, now!" Dr. Toadala called.

A female Nokis entered the room with a Koopa Troopa camera man behind her.

"Greetings, Prince Mario. My name is Kisa Jones, and I am here to get some answers out to an antsy public. Thank you for agreeing to a short interview. Trust me, I am not like other reporters. We will go as long as you want to, and if you say to omit something, it will be omitted. Is that okay?" Kisa asked.

"That's okay." Mario said, "I know I am royalty here, but can you please not use my royal title?"

"Okay, no royal titles. First question, What happened to Lord Brighton?" Kisa began the interview.

"From what I know, he suffered a work related accident, and needed a new liver. That's why I am here. I gave him a part of my liver, and he is doing fine." Mario said.

"Okay, the rumor is that the Daybreaker is behind this. Is that true?" Kisa asked.

"I am afraid I can't answer that." Mario said.

"Did what happened to Lord Brighton have anything to do with the appearance of the Daybreaker at the Parliament buildings?" Kisa asked.

"I can't answer that, ether. I will say, however, that the Daybreaker is being taken care of by my younger brother, Luigi." Mario said.

"Last question, Who has stepped up to run Skyland?" Kisa asked.

"Skyland is under Twila's control. She left to return to Clockwork Castle to catch up on some sleep." Mario lied.

"Okay, that about does it. You get well soon, Pri- Mario." Kisa left.

"You did impressively, Mario." Eleanor said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twila chose not to fight. She was tossed into a cell, and the door was locked. Twila watched the Daybreaker leave. She closed her eyes and focused on orbing out, and found that the cell was surrounded by anti orb spells.

"Nuts. Once again, I get caught by the evil, and Brighton is in no condition to save me." She muttered to herself, "Might as well work on levitation to pass the time until Luigi comes."

Twila hovered, relaxing to the up down motion of hovering. Hours slid by, until she heard footsteps, and looked up. She saw Luminosity.

"The Daybreaker sent me to talk to you about his plan. He plans to turn you, and together we will turn this world into Dark Utopia!" Luminosity said.

"I hate to burst your bubble, but that isn't going to happen! Luigi won't stand for it, and he'll fight! Luminosity, you are good, remember? You are married, and you are the head sun of the Irregular Galaxy, Remember? Remember Lunus, your husband? How about your children, Dusk, and Dawn? Come on, you have got to remember something of your life!" Twila said, watching the female sun for her reaction.

"Lies, all lies! The Daybreaker is trying to pave the way to Dark Utopia, and you are only impeding his glorious way!" Luminosity sneered.

Twila felt her emotions boil over.

"Come on, you don't even remember Solarton, your boss? Or lord Sunnings, your little boss? You have got to remember your own family!" Twila screamed.

"Lies, Twila, all lies!" Luminosity said.

Twila felt her Moonstone, a gift to her from Brighton on their first wedding anniversary, start to glow white.

"I can't believe you, Luminosity! I saw you as my best friend, and as my midwife when I had the boys! You have got to remember something!" Twila screamed, thoroughly angry now. The Moonstone glowed brighter, and Twila's light gray eyes turned blue. The moonstone floated by its own accord, and a blue light shot out of it, to hit Luminosity right between the eyes.

"You have got to remember!" Twila screamed again, the light growing stronger. Luminosity seemed to be floating now. Suddenly, the light stopped, and Twila's eyes reverted to normal.

"Twila, what happened? Where are we?" Luminosity asked, "The last thing I remember is walking down the hallway to my room at the Solar Hall."

"Daybreaker." Twila slumped up against the wall, exhausted, "I didn't know I could do that."

"Daybreak- oh no, not the Daybreaker, again!" Luminosity cried.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Luminosity, it appears that my hold over you has been broken." Waluigi strode into the hold. He raised his hand, and shot off a blast of metal energy laced with shadowy light at Luminosity. Luminosity shocked everyone, by raising her right hand, and catching the blast.

"Hey, no messing with my element! Double Fire!" Luminosity returned the attack, with double the force.

"I can do one better. Triple Fire!" Waluigi blasted it back.

"I can do one even better." Luminosity flamed out to appear behind the Daybreaker, and threw lightening at him. Waluigi screamed.

"Didn't your mother teach you that every element has an opposite weakness?" the female Sun taunted.

"Twila did teach me all about that. Try this one! Silver Fire Blast!" Waluigi called, blasting silver fire at Luminosity, who simply raised her left hand, and caught it.

"I could fight you all day." Luminosity angled the attack, and winked at Twila, who ducked down at the opposite corner, and braced herself. Luminosity let the attack fly.

"Missed me, Sunny!" Waluigi taunted.

"Actually, I never missed." Luminosity said.

"Reflect!" Twila cried, after climbing out of the cell. She sent Luminosity's attack right back at the Daybreaker.

The attack caught the Daybreaker off guard, and sent him flying into an open cell. Twila locked it, and orbed the anti orb spells over to that cell.

"Lets go!" Luminosity lead the way up onto the outer deck of the Blade. The Sun and Moon leapt off the side of the ship, and flew into the gathering storm.

"Lets find Daisy and Geno, and get back to Skyland!" Luminosity called over the howling wind.

Suddenly, Twila shrieked, and Luminosity looked down to see the Moon get hit in the side by a flying tree branch, and fall.

"No, Twila!" Luminosity flamed down to catch Twila mid fall. She flamed again, and appeared over Ladila Plains. She felt something wet and sticky on her left arm, and looked down to see Twila's left side soaked in blood. The Moons eyes were open, and unfocused.

"Luminosity, it hurts real bad…" Twila whispered.

"You are going to be okay, I promise. I need you to stay awake for me, okay?" Luminosity asked.

"Okay…" Twila said.

Luminosity flamed from Ladila Plains to Eldstars Haven. She ran into the large sanctuary.

"Klevar! Kalmar! Muskular! Mamar! Skolar! Misstar! Eldstar! Twink? Somebody?" Luminosity called, "I need help!"

Klevar was at her side in an instant.

"Somebody page Eldstar! Luminosity, what happened to Twila? Through here, move it, Skolar! Here, put her down here! Kalmar!" Klevar screamed.

"She was hit by a tree branch in a storm! This is my fault! Brighton is going to kill me!" Luminosity cried.

"Kalmar! Get your backside in here now! This is life or death! Ooh! That Star Spirit has a permanent brain cramp! Kalmar! I mean it! Now!" Klevar screamed again, peeling back the folds of Twila's robe to see the injury better. A long, deep gash ran up her side, and she was losing blood at an alarming rate.

"Twila, you need to stay awake! Come on, fight for Brighton! He could never live without you in his life! Fight for your children! Come on, Stay with me!" Luminosity cried, tears streaming down her face. Her hands began to glow.

"I swear, I am going to kill Kalmar! Kalmar! Get your smelly, rotting, other word for a butt down here this instant! I think Twila is dying!" Klevar bellowed again.

"The pain… It stopped… I can see… Fate is coming for me…" Twila whispered.

"No! I'm not going to lose you! Brighton needs you more then ever now! Stay with me!" Luminosity cried, her hands glowing even brighter. The gash started to close on Twila's side.

"Luminosity, you are healing her! Keep it up!" Klevar said, excitedly.

"You are right! Twila, come back to me! Brighton is going to need you to help him heal!" Luminosity called, her hands glowing even brighter. The gash got even smaller, then it disappeared. All traces of its blood vanished, and Twila jerked, coming back to life.

"What happened?" She asked.

"You almost died, Twila." Klevar said, "Speaking of which, Kalmar! You are a dead star!"

Just then, a scream split the night. Klevar ran into the main room, with Luminosity and Twila behind him. Mamar was white. She only pointed at the floor, where a trail of blood led to the shattered remains of a window, where a bloody handprint pointed inwards.

"He got Kalmar, Klevar." Muskular whispered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Queen Sunstar: Sorry, I zoned out, and just now realized I'm on page thirteen of the document. Here is an interesting fact about Critical. Brightons injuries are based on the ones my uncle received in a boating accident two months ago. I even gave a part of my liver to him to save his life. Everything that happened to him, will happen to Brighton. My uncle is doing great today. I started typing Critical in the waiting room of a local hospital. I don't know how long Critical is going to be, but the next chapter is called Together Again. In it, we will see Daisy, Geno, Peach, Wario, Luigi, Solance, Twila, Luminosity, Solarton and Mallow meet up back at the hospital, and Waluigi will begin to fight back the Daybreaker for his body. A massive freak storm strikes Solarsky, and Luminosity races against time to bring back the electricity to the hospital. Brighton will reawaken sometime the next chapter.

Twila: Queenie! You trying to kill me off or something?

Queen Sunstar: no, I didn't mean anything by putting you at deaths door. I saved you, didn't I?

Twila: True, but I want Amerella to type the next chapter!

Queen Sunstar: We'll see.

Twila: Don't forget to review, dear!
