Welcome back everyone! Just to let everyone know, this will serve as a massive spoiler to a game that was released in 2022, a JRPG Game called 'Relayer'. So just a little bit of fore warning before we start this chapter. If you haven't played Relayer, please play the game or watch the storycon YouTube before jumping in here, for this WILL BE POST GAME SPOILERS ABOUND.
Today's Guest in the Hollow Night is Luna, the Starchild of the Moon who started off as a major antagonist before Character Development kicks in resulting in her becoming the main Tritagonist of the JRPG Mecha Game, Relayer. When I first tried the demo, Luna and her older sister Terra became two of my favorite characters in the game and their relationship and bond became one of the most interesting and emotionally gripping points of the game.
While Luna started off as a unrepentant antagonist who wanted revenge on her sister for a seemingly petty reason, things get more complicated as Terra is not the person Luna remembered her as in regards to Terra gaining a new personality and treated Luna with kindness and love in comparison to the original Terra and their father, Director Grayson, who treated Luna with cruelty.
Her time with the new Terra and Himiko allowed Luna to slowly overcome her hatred and become true sisters with Terra become her sisters untimely passing in the Main Story.
This is why the chapter's name is Terra. By the end of the game, Terra's final gift to Luna is switching thier names, allowing Luna to start a new life free of the crimes she committed in order to stop the Relayers and kill Grayson. This won't be following the What-If Post Game Stories (Asterisim Voyage Log and The Wormhole Mystery) as a result and will be my own post game take. So for all intents of this story, Luna will be addressed as Terra.
For those wondering, Relayer is primarily know for fighting in Mechs and not on foot. Granted, Luna, Venus and Mercury have been shown to use firarms during cutscenes, but you never really fight outside of your mech. So, I use Jin Saotome from Cyberbots and Marvel Vs. Capcom as inspiration for Terra's moveset. Like Jin in Marvel Vs. Capcom, Tetra will fight outside of her Mecha while calling upon it for certain specials and supers.
With that out of the way, what brings the Lunar Starchild into the Hollow Night far off from the distant future? We're about to find that out right now.

Victory Screen Quotes
Victory Screen Portrait: Terra is crossing her arms with a smirk.
Generic 1: "That's what you get for muscling in on my action here!"
Generic 2: "To think there are beings who can rival Starchildren and Relayers. Mars and Venus are really going to geek out over this when I get back and tell them about this."
Generic 3: "You should have just turned around and walked away the moment you saw my 50 foot tall Stellar Gear. You got guts for standing up against those odds, I'll give you that."
Generic 4: "Don't panic, I'm not here to kill you. I made sure Selene's power output isn't lethal. Than again, it wasn't really meant to fight human sized people to begin with. The again, human sized opponents don't have super strength, enhanced durability or bizarre powers to begin with, so your fair game."
Generic 5: "Sis... I hope I'm doing the right thing and making you proud. You just keep on watching me as the moon shines upon the Earth."
Vs. Hyde: "Let me guess, you some kind of "bad boy" wannabe right? You know, you shouldn't try to be something you're not. Just saying you should try and be true to yourself."
Vs. Linne: "Immortality huh? You know, if sis were here, she'd tell you to live with the time you have left, but there's not much you can do with a curse placed on you, huh?"
Vs. Vatista: "I... I'm sorry. You just reminded me of my sister. She's someone important to me and you resemble her. I gotta get going. You take care and stay safe for the sake of the people who love and care about you."
Vs. Orie: "The Licht Kries sound like a group of extremists to me. Order's fine, but it sounds like your leaders a paranoid, black-and-white viewing control-freak. How about you think for yourself and just fight for your own beliefs instead of a crazy bitch like her?"
Vs. Wagner: "Bloodthirsty devil! You make Dark Lord look tame in comparison! Still, at least your not trying to wipe out the entire galaxy in the process though..."
Vs. Londrekia: "Brr... that's some crazy ice powers you got right there! You're lucky your not facing Sun, Jupiter and Anilam or they'd smash right through that ice of yours with no effort!"
Vs. Gordeau: "Tall, dark, handsome. You're my type of guy. Sorry to say, but if I'm going to date a boy in the future, I'd rather it being someone back in my world that doesn't use an oversized gardening tool as a weapon."
Vs. Chaos: "You almost remind me of Mercury, only she's not a stuck up asshole who looks down on everyone. Mercury wouldn't even give you the time of the day despite you both being smart and intelligent."
Vs. Hilda: "Your little plot ends right here and no one's going to miss you. When you see the Old Bastard in hell, tell him I sent you!"
Vs. Phonon: "I don't get the appeal of BDSM. It's just some freaky shit going on. Not my thing at all. On the other hand, I have to admit. It's cool that your snake can turn into a whip."
Vs. Byakuya: "Listen here you bitch, how about you take your brother someplace safe instead of making him your slave!? The fact that he loves you AND is willing to die for you shows that he deserves better than this!"
Vs. Eltnum: "H-how do you know everything about me? And what do you mean sis is alive in a different timeline!? Answer me! How do you know this!?"
Vs. Akatsuki: "Let me get this straight. You fought robot tanks and you thought you can face my Stellar Gear as a result? Hahahaha! Either you're the most bravest guy I met or your the most craziest moron I saw..."
Victory Screen Quotes Against Terra
Hyde: "Holy shit! I can't believe you brought a giant Mecha to a sword fight here! Good thing you weren't inside the cockpit so I could knock you out instead."
Linne: "Argh... that giant mechanical suit hurt like hell. Still, it wasn't smart of you to fight outside of that thing. You would've walked away with a lot less cuts and bruises as a result."
Vatista: "I happen to remind you of your older sister? If she's not an Autonomic Nerve, I do not see the possibility of why that is. However, I do apologize for bringing you discomfort with my presence."
Orie: "Oh... oh my... I didn't think you'd bring a giant robot into this night... I... I place you under arrest and this robot suit will be taken into custody and... Oo... oh... dear, I think... I need to rest... for a moment... (I honestly thought I was going to die right there!)"
Wagner: "Well I'll be, no matter what I do, I can barley land a dent on that thing. You definitely have a high class mech suit. Still, it's too dangerous for you to have that. I'm sure the Licht Kries will have better use of it then you."
Londrekia: "You appear to have a heavy burden on your shoulders. I won't pry into it, but surely you must have a friend or two that you can talk too, right?"
Gordeau: "Sorry if I'm getting personal, but it looks like you've managed to get revenge and also didn't follow through with it at the same time. What does that feel like? Getting revenge and all?"
Chaos: "Whew! I didn't think I'd be dealing with something out of a Science Fiction Movie. Well, now that the pilot is out, maybe I can study this. Not everyday you get to examine a Mecha."
Hilda: "Well, on the down side, your worthless to me. One the other hand, I get this wonderful killer machine to use. Enjoy sleeping under the moon tonight. It'll be your last."
Phonon: "Whoa! That giant robot is really something else! On another note, you got some really nice and pretty legs. I'm a little jealous actually."
Byakuya: "Hey sis, maybe you can pilot this giant robot? At least that way, you can help me out in a fight. We'd be the ultimate team up."
Byakuya (Alternate): Tsukuyomi: "My relationship with Byakuya has nothing to do with you. What me and my brother do is our business. Stay out of our way or you won't live to see the moon again."
Eltnum: "Giant Mechas are definitely a cornerstone of the industry after all, but to think you'd copy the guy from that Mecha Fighting game made by the king of fighting games? Aren't you supposed to be from a JRPG?"
Akatsuki: "That was a good mock battle! Hopefully this will help you in case you don't have your Mecha. On that note, perhaps I can spar with you in the Mecha this time?"
Super Attacks
EXS Attack - Sword Slash: Terra couches as Selene appears in the foreground and swings a single hand sword across the screen in a quick flash before teleporting away.
Infinite Worth - Machine Gun Assault: Selene fires a machine gun from above in a hail storm like assault. If the attack connects with the opponent, spending an additional 50% of the EXS Meter will cause Terra to throw a grenade into the bullet storm, causing it to explode and deal additional damage to the opponent.
Infinite Worth EXS - Big Bang: Once the Flash Field connects, Selene will lower it's hand down and Terra jumps on before it cuts to Terra inside on Selene's cockpit. She then sends a Bit to knock the opponent into the sky before Selene is in front of the opponent. Then Twelve Bots surround the opponent and all fire upon the them all at once, causing a giant explosion in the night sky. Selene then lowers Terra back onto the stage while the opponent crashes back down.
Unique Traits
Ammo Count: Terra can fire her Pistol as a standard projectile and throw out grenades as an additional lobbing projectile. However, like Eltnum with her gun, Terra only has 13 bullets to fire at a time. If she runs out, the game forces Terra to reload his Pistol. Terra can reload her bullets manually through an input.
Her grenades are a limited resource. Each round, Terra starts out with six grenade, but once she runs out, he can't use the grenade move or the Infinite Worth Extender until the next round where her grenade count is refilled.
Bits: Terra can summon her Stellar Gears primarily weapon, The Bits, to assist her. She can set them up as a projectile to fire upon repeating the summon input. She can place four Bits at a time however.
Alternatively, Terra can jump off of a Bit to another Bit or over the opponent. She can only jump on two Bits before landing on the ground.
Hilda Arcade Story Interaction
*Hilda heads over to a new location, only to look on in shock and terror at seeing a 50 foot tall robot floating over the area*
Hilda: "What in the world!? A giant robot!? How did this get here!?"
*A gun clicks as a young woman with blonde hair walks up*
Terra: "Impressed? Not every day you see a Stellar Gear, right?"
Hilda: "You dare point a gun at me!? Do you know who you're talking too?"
Terra: "Paradox, leader of Amnesia. And yes I'm pointing a gun at you along with my Stellar Gear."
Hilda: "Wait a minute... are you saying that thing belongs to you!?"
Terra: "Yup. To be fair, this thing won't be developed years from now. You can say me and Selene here come from the distant future or maybe an alternate future."
Hilda: "Future!? Are you saying these things will be made in the future!?"
Terra: "Maybe not in this world. I don't know how tome travel or alternate worlds work, but I do know that your a major problem. Almost as much as Grayson and Aphrodite. So, I hope you said your prayers, but I'm gonna make sure you won't be able to use your legs again."
"Normally, I can't use a Stellar Gear against human sized foes, but you "In-Births" take a lot from Selene, so I can't hold back."
Hilda: "Aha... Ahahahahaha! What a prize! After I end you, this thing will prove beneficial for Amnesia! No one will EVER challenge us again!"
Terra: "Unfortunately for you, only Starchildren can pilot this Gear, so even in the unlikely chance you kill me, it won't work for you."
Hilda: "Oh, there's always a way. I'll even keep you as a reference to unlock your robot's secrets! Prepare to serve Amnesia, forever!"

Terra Arcade Story
Prologue [Location: Kanzakai Skyline]
*Above the city of Kanzakai is a giant 50 foot tall purple colored robot and inside the cockpit is a young girl between her mid to late teens as she overlooks the city below her*
Terra: "Asterisim, this is Terra, come in. Asterisim, do you hear me?"
"Ugh, of course they won't answer. Venus did warn me that as soon as I entered this strange portal that opened, communications would break."
"Some time ago, Mintaka, Anilam and Anitak found a strange portal that supposedly led somewhere, so it was suggested that a single Starchild should investigate what's in there and report back as soon as they can."
"Well, after flying around this place. I found out this is a world that takes place in the distant past, or another world set in the past. Either way, I'm in a tight spot now..."
"The portal behind me closed and I have no way to get in contact with the others. Now, there's a strange phenomenon going on in this city below me right now. Something called "The Hollow Night" is now occurring in this Kanzakai."
"Gotta thank the coms channel being able to connect with the communications network for the "Licht Kries" and "Amnesia". Now, all I have to do is get a look around down there."
"It's been a month since you passed away, right sis? You traded names with me to give me a new start, a clean slate from the crimes I committed to fighting Aphrodite and our pathetic excuse for a father. I was prepared to die for my sins and you gave me a new chance."
"It was hard for me since you, Himiko and the cube were the closest ones I knew on the Asterisim. Now, Himiko left with Sirius to find Zero and Yodaka is still drifting through space somewhere. Mars, Venus, Sun and Azur filled the void you guys left, but I wonder if I'll make you proud somehow going forth."
"I'm surprised Prince hasn't tried to kill or even confront me about what happened back then, plus Observer is still out there, probably planning something in the long run."
"Regardless, I must focus on now. For this mission to work, I need to travel in the city on foot. Fortunately, Venus installed a remote control system in Selene to function similarly to to my sister's Stellar Gear, Astoria. Therefore, it can help me attack even when I'm not inside it at the expense of not using it's full power."
"I'll need it when fighting these In-Births, cause something tells me they can handle whatever Selene can dish out compared to a regular person."
"Sis, I hope you'll watch over me from the heavens with you and the Moon as my witness. I'm going to do my best to protect our family and help out in any way I can."
*Terra descends into the city as the 1st stage, with the first randomized opponent, loads up*
Stage 3
Vs. Gordeau [Location: Riverside Plaza]
*Terra wanders around the Riverside Plaza as she meets up with a tall man in a dark purple coat*
Terra: "Well now, what do we have here? You're different compared to the other two that I had to deal with earlier."
Gordeau: "Hearing that from a newcomer like you must be a compliment. A shame that you ended up with me as your opponent this time."
"So, your the girl with the strange giant robot that I heard about right? Got to say, you're really bringing in the big guns if you need something like that backing you up. Looking at you, I can say that you can easily handle yourself just fine."
Terra: "Well, considering that a single Starchild is up against a bunch a people with powers straight out of a manga, I need all the firepower I can get. So, you guys don't get to call me out."
Gordeau: "Considering the size difference, I kind of have a right to call you out. Doesn't make it a less interesting enemy to fight. Fighting a 50 foot tall foe sounds like a blast!"
"By the way, you said that you're a "Starchild"? I'm guessing you're not from around here, right?"
Terra: "Your right on both terms. My name is Terra, I'm the Starchild of the Moon and a member of the Asterisim. I'm actually from a different time or probably a different world altogether."
Gordeau: "Huh, doesn't Terra mean Earth. Kind of strange for a Starchild of the Moon to have a name like that. Anyway, the name's Gordeau if your wondering."
Terra: "Thanks for the introduction. To prove a point to my explanation, what year is it?"
Gordeau: "Strange question, but the current year is 20XX."
Terra: "Yup. The year from where I'm from is 2051."
Gordeau: "Damn! No wonder why the robot is huge, you're from the future or some kind of alternate reality entirely!"
Terra: "Anyway, enough of that. I'm here to find out the source of this Hollow Night. If you know anything, you should probably just spill it."
Gordeau: "Straight to the point. I like that in a gal like you. However, considering you're not an In-Birth, you should probably just leave and head on back to where you came from."
Terra: "I would if I could, but I can't right now. I can only move forward, through you if need be."
Gordeau: "That's a real shame. You seem like a nice lady to speak with. Just don't cry or hold anything against me once I beat you, kay?"
Terra: "That's my line, pal. I'll try not to beat you up too badly since your pretty decent yourself. I have to warn you though, I can be pretty tough myself."
*The scene transitions to the fight*
Stage 6
Vs. Phonon [Location: Crimson Parking Lot]
*Terra finds herself walking around a parking when she meets up with a young woman with bright green hair and a snake on her shoulder.*
Terra: "Well, you certainly a breath of fresh air in terms of how you In-Births look. You certainly have style."
Phonon: "Um... thank you. I mean, that's the intention behind my looks. After all, I wouldn't be the Chemeti if I didn't look the part."
Muniel: "Moo."
Terra: "Right. I was wondering if you can give me some intel on what's going on here. Like for instance, is there a major source within this Hollow Night?"
Phonon: "Beats me. I'm just here to kill some Voids and whip the other In-Births into shape! Ohohohoho!"
Terra: "What are you? Some kind of freak?"
Phonon: "C-come on, gimme me a break! Trying to talk like an S&M queen is harder then it looks, okay!?"
Terra: "Right... well, it's been nice talking to you, but I have more important things to do, so see ya."
Phonon: "Ummmm... hold on a moment!"
Terra: "Yes, what is it?"
(To herself) 'I hope it's not related to her weird S&M shit. I read about that crap before and I'm NOT going to get involved in that creepy stuff."
Phonon: "What's your secret?"
Terra: (To Phonon) "Secret? You're going to need to phrase that another way so I can understand what you're trying to say."
Phonon: "Well... I'm trying to be a S&M queen and the most important part is leg work and all so...
"Tell me how your legs look so nice and lovely!"
Terra: "..."
Phonon: "..."
Terra: "What? My legs? What about them?"
Phonon: "Well for one, your legs are in good shape for one thing. It helps that you show them off thanks to how your shorts look. A pure dominatrix has really shapely legs that they use to step on people, so I want to know how to get such toned legs like yours."
Terra: (To herself) 'Wow, where do I even begin with this? What do my legs have to do with this? I always wore shorts even back at the House of Stars because that's what I prefer wearing.'
'Even then, why would she ask me how to get good legs? Doesn't she look in a mirror or something? Her legs aren't in bad shape either!'
(To Phonon) "Look, I don't think I can help with that. Just... I don't know... exercise your legs hard, don't laze around and don't eat too much junk, okay."
Phonon: "..."
"Come on, stop joking around and tell me the truth."
Terra: "I-I'm not joking around! I don't get why you want good looking legs when you already have them."
Phonon: "They could be better..."
Terra: "Ugh... this conversation just got weird. Look, I really am busy, so you better leave me alone or I'll chase you off, you hear me?"
Phonon: "Alright, how about this? If I beat you in a fight, you'll have to teach me how to get gorgeous legs like yours, deal?"
Terra: "Seriously!?"
(To herself) 'Wait, maybe if I win, she can point me in the right direction of where to find the source of the Hollow Night.'
(To Phonon) "Alright, but if I win, I want you to tell me about any note worth In-Births in the Hollow Night, you hear me?"
Phonon: "Well, I have heard about an interesting girl with red wings. She's not an In-Birth, but if you beat me, I'll tell you where she went. But with a future me on the line, me and Muniel won't lose!"
Muniel: "Moooooo!"
Terra: "You're in for a rude wake up call once you see Selene..."
*The scene transitions to the fight*
Stage 9
Vs. Vatista [Location: Sleeping Fountain Plaza]
*Terra arrives at a beautiful looking fountain to find the girl with the red wings, but is taken aback by how the girl looks, reacting with shock and sadness*
Terra "...!"
"S-sis... is... is that you sis...?"
"It... it's me... it's Luna..."
Vatista: "You appear to be distressed. Are you feeling okay?"
Terra: "...!"
(To herself) 'That... that's right. This isn't sis... Luna passed away a month ago.'
(To Vatista) "Y-yeah... I'm sorry I freaked out like that. You just reminded me of my sister who passed away some time ago. You look similar to her..."
Vatista: "No apologies are needed. If anything, I should apologize for my viasge upsetting you by reminding you of your deceased sibling."
Terra: "You couldn't have known... my name is Terra by the way."
Vatista: "I thought you refered to yourself as Luna."
Terra: "It's a gift from my sister, she gave me her name."
Vatista: "An inheritance? I understand. You may refer to me as Vatista."
"What exactly brings you here? You don't possess EXS, yet you harbor a great power inside yourself."
Terra: "I have the Will of the Moon inside of me. I'm a Strachild."
Vatista: "I see. I will add the term 'Starchild' to my memory banks."
Terra: "Okay, now if it's okay to ask you something, do you know where I can find the source of the Hollow Night? It's important that I locate it so I can complete my mission."
Vatista: "So you have been sent to pacify Paradox and the Gate to the Abyss? If you are searching for them, they are close by."
Terra: "Close by? So this Paradox must be I'm searching for... and this Gate?"
Vatista: "Controls the flow of EXS in the Hollow Night. If it is destroyed, the Hollow Night will end prematurely and will also foil Paradox's plans to become a Re-Birth."
Terra: "Another power hungry bastard... or bitch in this case."
Vatista: "It might be too dangerous for you to go ahead. Especially with the presence of the mechanical suit that follows you."
Terra: "So you can sense Selene? I can also say the same of you... I... I can't say why... but I can't let you fight this Paradox person..."
Vatista: "While I appreciate your concerns, I will be able to handle and defeat Paradox. Your mission will be complete and my task will be done."
Terra: "It's not just that! I just can't let you go marching to what may be your death! You. Could. Die!"
Vatista: "You are acting emotional. You must calm down."
Terra: "No! I can't lose you! I can't let you burn yourself out again Sis!"
*The scene transitions to the fight*
Final Stage
Vs. Hilda [Location: Skyscraper's Rooftop]
*Terra and Vatista are staring at each other with the Starchild having calmed down*
Terra: "I'm... I'm so sorry Vatista... I just lost it..."
Vatista: "You appear to be in great mourning and I remind you of your sister... aside from Hyde Kido, no one ever showed concern for me."
Terra: "Yes... I miss sis and there hasn't been a day where I wished that she got better somehow."
"Besides... I'm not even from this world. I believe that if I destroy this Gate, I might be able to return home."
Vatista: "Even with your machine, it may be dangerous for you."
Terra: "What if... I could lure Paradox away while you handle the Gate?"
Vatista: "That might work as Paradox is out and about. She is returning to the Gate, but Paradox is my priority."
Terra: "Please... let me handle Paradox and you go destroy the Gate. Please, do this for me Vatista."
Vatista: "... Very well. Take caution with Paradox."
Terra: "Thanks and I will."
*Terra parts with Vatista as she hurries to intercept Hilda on the rooftops and allow Vatista to destroy the Gate*
Terra: "Hey! Are you the lady that they call Paradox?"
HIlda: "Well, that's a fine 'how do you do?' to say to someone you're meeting for the first time."
"But to answer your question, I am indeed Hilda the Paradox, the leader of Amnesia."
Terra: "Perfect! Selene!"
Hilda: "What the!? A giant 50 foot robot!? You're the Starchild that beat up Gordeau!"
Terra: "So you and Gordeau are pals? Wonder how a decent guy like that is friends with you?"
"But yeah, I'm the Starchild of the Moon and I'm here to stop your plans to become a Re-Birth, whatever that is."
Hilda: "Oh that's rich! You think you can stop me from obtaining immortality and power!"
Terra: "Immortality!? Well, now I really can't let you go now!"
Hilda: "I can say the same about you! Becoming a Re-Birth is my main goal, but that giant mech will serve me greatly in the long run too. Bestow it upon me and I may forgive you transgressions."
Terra: "Sorry, but Selene is not something I can give. Besides, only a Starchild can pilot it, it would be useless to you."
Hilda: "Well, I can always take you prisoner to unlock the mech's secrets. Once I capture you, then I'll take the Insulator and obtain eternity!"
Terra: "I'm afraid you won't get that chance! With the Moon as my witness and my sister watching over me..."
"I will protect the Earth from you or anyone who threatens it!"
*The scene transitions to the final fight*
Aftermath
[Location: Skyscraper's Rooftop]
*Terra stands triumphant as Hilda is in disbelief that she lost*
Terra: "I... I did it, sis..."
Hilda: "Ugh, how could I possibly...?"
*Vatista arrives on the scene to see that Terra has defeated Hilda*
Vatista: "You have defeated Paradox. I am relieved that you are safe."
HIlda: "The Autonomic Nerve that's with the Insulator Boy! What are you?"
"Wait... the flow of EXS stopped...? Did you destory the Gate to the Abyss!?"
Vatista: "I have eliminated the Gate and now I will pierce your vessel and render you powerless."
Hilda: "No! I won't submit! We will meet again!"
*Hilda runs away and as soon as she does, Terra and Selene begin to fade away from this world*
Terra: "Doesn't look like she'll get far, huh?"
Vatista: "You are... fading away."
Terra: "That means I'm heading home. I certainly have a lot to explain to everyone on the Asterisim. Thank you for helping me out Vatista."
Vatista: "You are welcome and I appreciate your aid, Terra. I will keep your name stored in my memory banks alongside Hyde Kido's."
Terra: "You're welcome and thanks for the sentiment."
"Well, it's time for me to get going. You take care of yourself Vatista."
*Terra hugs Vatista and gets inside Selene as they return to their original world with Vatista unknowingly crying in response*
Vatista: "Farewell, Luna."
Ending
[Location: Space, around Earth's Orbital Ring]
*Terra is inside her cockpit as she hovers around the planet her older sister had the will of*
Terra: "Finally home. It's funny, I didn't have many good memories of this planet and I was hoping to come to love it with you here with me sis."
"I guess running around that strange world with Gordeau, Phonon and especially Vatista gave me a good idea of what a regular world without Starchildren is like."
"However, I'm not ashamed of being a Starchild. Not anymore. After all, I shouldn't even be alive right now."
"I've done so many horrible things to you and to the galaxy, all to kill the God Relayer and to end the evil man who called himself our father."
"Yet, you always tried to reach me halfway and shown me the one thing I've always wanted. The love and warmth of a family."
"But, I now have the Asterisim as my family now. Your... little sis is in good hands now..."
*Suddenly, the image of a white hatred girl with brown eyes appears before Terra, surprising her*
Luna: "You see sis. Everything's alright."
*With a smile, Luna fades away to the heavens and the screen cuts to a grave in the middle of a beautiful flower field with Terra, Mars, Venus, Sun, Azur, Mintaka, Anilam and Anitak visiting it while the ghost of Luna hugs her sister, who has a soft smile and tears in her eyes*
Terra: (To Luna) 'I know... I'm not alone... not anymore.'
*The credits roll as "Into The Lost Code" plays*
