Luna has a good time enjoying what she has achieved.

Later, she has a very strange dream...

Luna stood in the sand and laughed and laughed. It had seemed like this mistake that she had done wasn't intentional, but completely necessary. The person that she wanted she didn't get, but in her eyes, she got something better than her main target; a speedy blue hedgehog that was fully committed to helping the ones that can't defend themselves. Perfect. She looked towards the black sky and laughed wildly at her accomplishment. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" she chanted happily. "Even though I didn't get the person I originally wanted, that's okay. I got something better. This is a wonderful mistake!" she laughed. "Who to get next? I don't know! I guess I could get anybody I want at this point! I'm stronger than them all anyway! HA!!!" she boasted. She walked to her left and sat on a boulder protruding from the sand. Then she calmed down and thought about what her next move was going to be as she glowed in the dark like a giant candle. Just then, she began to think about her old army from the past and what happened.

"Luna, we found another set more planets to annihilate; the six linked Reptilia Planets; an easy target."

"Yeah!"

Flashes contorted her memory and messed with her train of thought. "Damn it!"

"What are you doing? Stop this! You have gone crazy!"

"Only a fool would stand before my God!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Her brain crashed. "Damn it! Stupid memory loss. It just pops up at random times. I hate it so much. Oh, I should try to keep that off of my brain. It'll just distract me from my main objective. Now, let's think about this for a minute," she said. "I've got Knuckles the Echidna, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Who should I get next?" she thought, moving her long nails across her face. "I want Amy Rose, Cream the Rabbit, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Princess Sally Acorn. I can go after Amy next. I suspect that she is not too far from here in the industrial area that I saw; then I can get Princess Sally, then I can get Shadow the Hedgehog, finally I can claim the other two. For now," she yawned, "I'm just going to take a nap here until the sun breaks the night."

She then put her head back and shut her eyes. She rested her hands behind her head and laid her legs straight forward. She laid flat on the boulder, glowing brightly light a nightlight. The wind gently blew across the beach sands, lifting up grains of sand and tossing them towards the water. The all-around silence situated the mood because nobody was around. The wonderful silence sounded like music to her ears. This is what she wanted to hear as she was sleeping peacefully. Her subconscious could fully comprehend her success and what she would accomplish by hacking into her victim's minds and using them to her advantage. It made her feel so good inside. She then proceeded to dream and go to a cocoon of ambition and sudden sensations. Her brain became a dream weaver of infinite possibilities. She began to imagine a world controlled by her and her brand new army. Inside her subconscious, something was happening.

"All citizens of the Earth kneel down before me! I am the new ruler of this planet! Your governments and your rules are weak and powerless! Your monuments have fallen, and your Gods have betrayed you! Bow down before your new ruler, Luna the Badger!!!"

"Oh, Supreme Master Luna?" a possessed Knuckles asked.

"What is it, Knuckles, my slave?"

"Shalst we conquer Maquie?"

"Maquie, the planet in which...Yashima lived?" She became scared and frightened. She became entangled in a web of self-resentment and jealousy. A giant tidal wave washed over her little world of happiness that she used to have, and it ate her. It devoured her and tore her apart slowly as she screamed and exploded inside. She shook and rattled in frustration as it ravaged and spread like a virus. The pain was unbearable. Not even her new commanding army could do anything to help. What could they possibly do? There wasn't anything possible that could be done at this point to persuade her that all of this mischief was going to solve all of her problems. She liked it, and she loved to destroy, but thinking about her old army gave her second thoughts about all of this. What's happening? I can't control my thoughts. I can't stop thinking about them. Every time I do, it hurts me even more. Stop disintegrating my thoughts, damn you! She screamed in her mind. An equally possessed Amy Rose stepped forward to her.

"What beist wrong, Supreme Master Luna? Art thou feeling not well? Dost thou feelest the need to recover abandoned ones? Dost thou needest a requiem for thine hardships?"

"No, none of that, my slaves. You all have served me well. It's just…I am being haunted by my past." As her back was turned, her new slaves suddenly disappeared. "The hauntings of my mind are best to be taken into consideration by you all. I do not wish to participate in anything that ever so slightly resembles the past. If I do, the core of my heart will fall into oblivion, and I will be no more. I must forget about the past. I will now leave it with you," she said, rubbing the hot sweat her forehead.

She felt as if everything was going in reverse. It all had to get better from this point. The memories were hurting her royally. It wasn't like blowing up a planet. It wasn't that simple. It wasn't like she could just make it all go away. But, she just had to forget about it otherwise it would hurt her for the rest of her life. She rummaged through her thoughts and she ran through them like a file cabinet and tossed out the past amid sighs or relief. When she turned around, she noticed her old army in front of her, staring at her with omniscient eyes. It seems that she didn't throw her past away completely -- in fact, it was standing right in her face. All six of them.

"Luuunnaaaa…" one voice mysteriously said.

"We didn't disobey you," quivered another.

"What? Of course you did! You blatantly disobeyed me. I commanded you to do something for me, but you refused to! You acted untrustworthy…right in front of my face," she growled.

"Let us speak to you," the spiritual form of one of Luna's original members reached her hand forward and gripped her mouth. "The past that you have originally made, you will remember. But the future that you wish to see…will be for naught." The spirit loosened its grip. Luna began to fall down, down, down into the vast emptiness of space. As she fell, her body began to go limp from the lack of air she was receiving. She closed her eyes. She was slowly dying as she fell past the deteriorating condition of Earth that she put it in. The end was fast approaching her. She was dead at this point falling through this void of nothingness known as space. She fell faster and faster until she made her crash landing of a lone star. It burned. It stung. A thousand fiery tongues were licking away at her corpse. She slowly sunk into the cesspool of fire. She slowly disintegrated away into emptiness, but it was okay, because she was already dead. She couldn't feel anything anyway. Maybe this was the best way to go, dying from ongoing collision with a star. There wasn't any other way that suited her. She was melting. Skin peeled from the bones. Bone marrow broke and turned into jelly. She was gone. A bright light signified the end of her journey…

Luna shrugged and awoke from her dream. She was breathing heavily, looking nervously back and forth, and sweating like a dog. Her eyes widened as she griped her knees and shook nervously. "It was only a dream. But, it felt so real. I could hear those words as clear as day. It was scary. Thank goodness it's still night."
