Chapter Ten

Luna heard a voice echoing through a nearby cave, she questioned it lightly, "Hello?" She said. Morph followed her.

"Luna?!" It was Jim's voice.

"Jim?" She asked, she briskly followed his echoes.

"I'm in here Luna!" He said.

She walked into the cave, her mind firmly fixed on a vision of him. Knowing how he'd never really meant to say such nasty things to her. Luna hurried inside of the cave, Morph hurried in behind her, quickly finding a spot to hide. She went inside and there stood Jim in a very nice suit. However, Morph didn't hurry over to him. Something wasn't right. Luna ran over to Jim, embracing him tightly.

"I'm so glad you came back!" She said.

"Oh, I couldn't possibly forget you..." He said, holding her all the more tightly, "...My sweetest."

"...What?" She then realized what was going on. Trying to shove herself away from him, only to fail. Jim's appearance faded into that horrible creature from so many years ago.

"We're going to have some fun." He said in his normal voice, shortly switching back to Jim's voice, "My love." He laughed hysterically at his abilities. Morph had slipped out of the cave in pursuit of the real Jim, of whom was having problems of his own.

Jim was cornered, Corin's group of baddies were getting ready to tie him up and kill him. Morph rushed over and the two of them fought a difficult battle. Ducking and dodging the shots taken at them both. Finally, help was on the way, Silver and crew made their way to the battle, turning it into somewhat of a war.

"GO Laddie!" Silver yelled over to Jim, "She needs ya!"

Jim nodded once and ran off again, Morph on his shoulder.

The two of them found the cave which Luna was tricked into. Morph held Jim back from just rushing into things, so they sat behind a convenient hiding place and listened.

"You thought I wouldn't hold true to my promise, sweetest?" He viciously whispered, "You thought I'd actually let your puny little planet exhist?"

"Why...?" She asked, as he squeezed the life out of her.

"I was able to make this planet a cheap recreation of that putrid Utopia of yours!! You will be mine, or that boy of yours... will die." He demanded, stroking her face with one of his many tentacles.

"So kill me then!!" Jim said, unable to contain himself any longer.

"Very well.... I accept." Corin laughed.

"Don't...." Luna managed to get out before falling unconcious from being squeezed so tightly.

Corin's attacks were fast and dark inside the cave, Morph provided some light for Jim by glowing. Jim had hopped onto his solar surfboard. Corin towered above him, so all he could do was fly around his head making small hits on him here and there. Corin became tired of playing with him, knocking the board from beneath Jim, he fell to the ground. Corin laughing all the while. Providing a shield for Jim, Morph then got an idea as Jim ran for cover. Morph turned himself into a sharp object, piercing the hand that Luna so happened to be in. Corin scowled and dropped her. Jim ran to her and the two of them hid together.

Morph continued to be the one putting up the fight as Luna came to.

"You stupid little brat!!" Corin screamed at Morph, swatting at him. Unfortunately for Morph, he let down his guard for just a moment, only to be absorbed into Corin.

"Jim?" Luna asked, awakening. She could see the long tentacle-like arm wrapping around Jim's body, he smiled at her, tears in his eyes.

"I love you." He said, only to be pulled away immediately after.

"Wait!!" Luna yelled after him. There she lay, helplessly. She looked frantically around the room for something, anything to help her. That's when she saw it, the spear. Picking up the bottom of her full dress, she ran to the spear, picking it up.

"For those you love and hold so dear," She recited, the spear began to glow, "In this Utopia, I shall hold the spear."

Tossing the spear, with nothing but hope it penetrated deeply into his heart.
