The "Last" Murian

Issac was sitting at his desk thinking. Ever since Kitty started living with Luna it had become harder and harder to get in touch with her. She had been staying with Luna for a week now, and in that week had only checked in once. He was loosing her, and at the worst time.

"High Max, could you come here?" Issac asked. A few seconds later High Max Transed In.

"You summoned me, Master Issac?" High Max asked.

"I feel that Kitty's friend is becoming a problem. You see it as well, do you not?"

"Affirmative."

"I was thinking, something should be done about her. What do you think?"

"I agree with you, and if I may speak freely."

"Of course you may, High Max."

High Max walked forward a bit and then spoke, "I have a theory about Kitty Munroe's friend, and I desire to handle this issue personally."

Issac had to think on that, but in the end he nodded, "I like it when my men take initiative. Alright then High Max, it's your time."

High Max had no emotions, but if he had, he would have been smirking while nodding, "I shall not fail you." High Max then turned to the door and walked out. Once outside he thought to himself about the situation, "Transcode 110, Lynx... current level of trust... 30 percent, and dropping... Source of issues, Luna Platz... best course of action... elimination."

Luna had gone in a state of depression after Xerox's news. She hadn't talked to her parents yet, mostly because they called and told her that they were going to be gone for another week. To be honest she wasn't too upset about that.

Kitty was starting to get worried about Luna. She didn't fully understand what was going on but she knew that her best friend was suffering, and she wanted to do something.

Kitty knocked on Luna's door, already in her new school uniform, one that Luna had given her since it fit better than her old uniform (longer skirt and bigger shirt).

"Come in," Luna said softly. Kitty opened the door to see Luna standing by her window looking outside with the Visualizer, still in her night gown.

"Oh, you're still not coming?" Kitty asked, slightly disappointed when Luna shook her head, "Alright then, um, if you finished yesterday's assignment I'll give it to Mr. Shepar for you."

"It's on my dresser," Luna said softly. Kitty took the disk on her dresser and then walked over to Luna hugging her from behind.

"You want to talk about it?" Kitty asked. Luna shook her head, "Okay Luna, I understand. If you ever do want to talk though, you know you can come to me, right?" Kitty asked, Luna nodding this time, "Good. I'll see you later Luna," Kitty said. She then lightly kissed Luna on the cheek and walked out of her room. When she left Xerox materialized next to Luna.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to school?" Xerox asked.

"I don't feel like talking to anyone," Luna said.

"But Luna-"

"Don't, please," Luna went to her bed and lied back down, her back to Xerox, "You saw that picture. I clearly don't own that name."

Xerox, like Kitty, felt powerless looking at Luna in the state that she was in. Why couldn't she just have a moment of peace?

As Kitty walked to school, she saw Solo up ahead. She wanted to get to know him, and this might have been her chance. She ran up to him.

"Hi Solo," Kitty said with a smile, Solo turned to her and nodded, "Luna's still not coming," Kitty said trying to make small talk.

"And I still don't care," Solo said quickly shooting down her attempt at making small talk.

"Ah, you and Luna aren't friends?"

"That's complicated."

"Oh, I see," Kitty was about to leave it at that, but Solo stopped and turned to her.

"You fool everyone else, but you don't fool me. I can see just as well as you can."

"Solo, what are you talking about?" Kitty was getting scared looking at Solo right now. Solo frowned and walked into the school, leaving Kitty to her thoughts.

It was right before lunch. Kitty was leaving her locker right when three seniors surrounded her.

"Can I help you?" Kitty asked.

"Me and my friends just noticed the sudden change in uniform," the leader, Chad, said.

"Well, Luna felt that I needed to look a little more professional at school," Kitty said getting a little nervous.

"That's too bad," Chad said getting closer, "Because I liked you better in short skirts."

"I bet you did," Kitty said under her throat, "Look Chad, I bet that you and your friends could get any other slut in this school, but that's not me. Now if you'll excuse me," Kitty tried to leave, but Chad held her against the locker, his friends standing at her sides.

"You really think you're tough don't you, well little Miss Perfect isn't here to protect you this time. I'm willing to let this go, but you have to do me and my friends a little favor in back of the school. What do you say?" Chad said, now reaching for her breasts. Right when Kitty was about to scream, there was a loud bang next to them. They all turned and saw Solo standing in the distance, his fist against the locker.

"I'm willing to let this go, if you leave quietly," Solo said. Chad and his two friends laughed looking at him, since like Kitty he was a freshman.

"You're not serious, are you?" Chad asked.

"Oh, I'm dead serious, and I wouldn't test that if I were you."

The two other guys ran up to Solo as if to fight him. Solo tripped the first guy and slammed him hard into the ground, and the second guy got his head slammed into a locker just as hard. With both of his friends knocked to the ground, Chad backed away from Kitty once Solo reached him.

"Go on," Solo threatened, "Give me a reason to punch you. I dare you."

Chad ran away, his two friends staggering up and following him. Kitty breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Solo, "Um, thanks Solo," she said.

"What the hell was that?" Solo snapped, shocking Kitty.

"Huh?"

Solo turned to Kitty and slammed his hand against the locker next to Kitty's head, "Those guys were nothing! Even someone like you could have beaten them!" Solo got closer, "Our people, are stronger than that. Don't give us a bad name!" Solo turned to the cafeteria and stormed off.

"When did you find out?" Kitty called out, making Solo stop.

"I saw you Wave Change right before the Four Guardians attacked. Don't forget I was on the Wave Road," Solo turned to her slightly, "What you and Luna have is none of my business, and I don't really care, but if you don't want to loose Luna as a friend, then I'd tell her first, before she finds out the hard way."

"Tell Luna? Why would I loose her as a friend?"

"You really don't know? I thought my people were smarter than that. And here I thought you were spying on Luna."

"You aren't making any sense! What are you talking-" Kitty's Hunter VG went off, showing High Max's picture, "Hello?"

"Lynx, Master Issac needs to see you. He tells me that it is urgent," High Max said.

"I'm in the middle of class!" Kitty snapped.

"Am I under the assumption that you feel school is more important than Master Issac's orders? Shall I pass this information to him?"

"No! That's alright," Kitty sighed, "I use the Wave Road and get there as soon as possible," she hung up and turned to Solo, "Don't say anything to Luna! There's no reason why she needs to get involved in this fight!" she said before running off. Solo tried walking off, but the need to see what was going on was too much for him. He decided to run after Kitty.

As for Luna, she decided to get some fresh air. She and Xerox had just turned the corner when they saw High Max step out in front of them.

"Luna Platz," High Max said, "By Master Issac's orders and for Kitty's safety you are to be terminated."

Luna and Xerox just stood there in shock looking at the mysteriously dressed man who just bluntly told Luna that he was going to kill her.
