Luna used Curaza on the party!
(Short post! My bad!) Luna casted Aeroza on the party!
Luna stood her ground as best as she could as the giant serpent had attacked and poisoned. She looked to the others before she even addressed her own wounds. The silver-haired girl spun with her keyblade out at her side, her keyblade beginning to glow a green light. "Heal our wounds and grant us reprieve!" The green light burst forth from her keyblade and rained over the party, healing the wounds and curing any illnesses the serpent might've given. Luna used Curaza on the party!
Luna casted Curaga on Karina! Luna used Faith!
Luna remained unfazed as Jafar morphed into a larger snake. Karina sounded unimpressed while making her comment. The others charged into battle while Luna continue to look at the giant serpent. "If you believe that something like this will faze us, you'll be sorely mistakened." Luna took one step after another as she raised her keyblade to the side. "Lord Phobos...I would suggest fly somewhere else to avoid any damage." The small fledgling on her shoulder rose its head before hopping off her shoulder. Before flying off, Phobos looked to Luna. "May luck and skill grace thee and yours. Mine own power is on standby shouldst thee needeth." With those words, Phobos flew off to a nearby roof. The silver-haired princess nodded her head. "Thank you, milord. May the gods carry us through this swiftly." Raising her keyblade up, a wind current flew around her and around the party. "Winds! Grant us defense!" She paused. "No holds barred! For Agrabah and its people!" Luna used Aeroza on the party!
Luna followed after Aladdin as the group rushed toward the palace. Upon reaching the palace, the sky darkened to a somber red. Aladdin had made the assumption that Jafar had made his first wish. Before moving any further, a barrier had appeared in front of them, halting their advance. In taunting voice, a figure wearing what seemed to be a sultan's attire appeared above them. Jafar.... Luna glared at the sorcerer as he continued to brag about his conquests. Hearing Jasmine ask about her father, Luna prayed for Jasmine that he was alive and well. Relief came over her for a small moment before Maleficient appeared, taking Jasmine with her. "Jasmine! No!" Luna tried her best to reach out to her to keep from their clutches but had failed. The princess clenched her fists as she failed another princess of heart, not only that, it had also been the fact that they now had six of the seven pure hearts. Not again..... Seeing the others take their stand against Jafar, Luna could only clench her fists and look at the ground, deep in thought. The feeling that washed over her was almost similar to that feeling she had when she had witnessed Belle's capture. The feeling of helplessness and guilt that there could've been more Luna could have done or watched out for. Then there was that feeling of anger she had after seeing how the people of Agrabah were treated by those who were to protect them and help keep peace and order. The more she reflected on all of those feelings, the tighter her fist clenched. It swirled all together and formed this feeling of anger and guilt until words had formed quietly from her lips. "Comptent..." Her voice continued to raise up. "Compent ruler......Power....." Her keyblade appeared in hand as she took silent steps towards Jafar. Her gaze still casted down towards the ground. "You have absolutely no idea about what comptency is!!" Her eyes lit up as if a fire was burning within them. "You couldn't be anything further from a comptent ruler!!! You have NO idea what a true ruler looks like, even if one were to be glaring at you straight at your sorry excuse for a face!!" Luna knew logically that she needed to calm down but emotion had taken over her completely and almost wouldn't let up until she had conveyed those emotions. Hearing Beuce's conveyed words, Luna felt her adrenaline calm itself a bit. "Release the sultan now and surrender, Jafar!" She paused. "You've been warned not once, not twice, but at least three times! Surrender now and mercy shall be granted to you!" Her brows furrowed as she took one more step. "Resist...and this princess will ensure that mercy will be the last thing you ever receive..."

Luna readied herself while the guards talked amongst themselves. The Captain had then mentioned something that had intrigued her. Princess Jasmine? Missing?? That's not good...The Captain continued on to belittle Aladdin, especially about his status. The silver-haired girl looked over to Aladdin, looking sullen before lashing out against the guard. Luna looked back at the enemies before her when Karina had called out to the princess. She looked over to her and nodded her head before turning her eyes back on the enemies. "And it would seem that she needs one now and fast!" Luna raised her blade and pointed towards the guards ahead. "Do not underestimate us, especially because of our gender." She paused. "Besides, looking at you all.....you're nothing more than training dummies, waiting to be broken in!" the group charged towards the guards and begun their battle. Luna immediately took to the high grounds to take in the enviroment surrounding her group. She had complete faith the rest of her comrades would be able to handle the guards so she had begun to scan the area in search of any disturbances or abnormalities in the area around her. Perhaps if she had found something, it could be a clue towards Jasmine's disappearance. As she scanned around, she noticed the Captain and one other guard coming up behind Aladdin. Luna immediately took action and jumped from her position to then knock down the guard accompanying the Captain. The princess landed on the guard's upper body, knocking him to the ground while Luna jumped away to land behind the Captain. "Your fight is with me, Captain....Unless you believe you will not be able to win against me."Luna raised her blade against the Captain's throat as he was beginning to raise his blade behind Aladdin. The Captain lowered his blade before turning towards Luna. Aladdin had caught wind of what was happening and moved to help before Luna had stopped him. "Leave this one to me. Go help the others! I'll be fine!" Aladdin hesistated before running to help her comrades. The two stared the other down as both had their blades raised. "You will answer all my questions and answer them in a timely manner once this fight is done. You will also escort me to see the sultan." The Captain laughed. "And why would I do that? A street mouse like you talks a big game but that's all you can do. Surrender now and I'll spare yours and your friends' life." Luna sighed before shaking her head. "I see we won't be able to talk this through. Will we?" She paused. "I am no street mouse and for you to insult those less fortunate than you, it's a pitiful sight. You've wasted my time..." Luna immediately rushed the Captain, dealing blow after blow in rapid succession. The Captain reeled back before Luna delivered one last kick. The Captain fell to the ground as did the rest of his squad. The princess walked over to the Captain before pulling him up by his shirt. "I believe you'll be answering my questions and my group's questions, now won't you? You'll also be assisting me in granting an audience with the sultan." She released the Captain's shirt before standing back up. She looked around and checked in with her group. "Is everyone alright? Anyone harmed or need medical attention?" Defeated Guards: 20/20 EXP Writer: 559 words -> 55 EXP
Luna looked around her surroundings once the carpet arrived at their destination. She looked to Abu and crouched down to his level. “Sorry Abu but I’ll be needing that back now.” Abu looked hesitant to return Luna’s tiara as he looked back between her and the tiara. “I would really appreciate it if I could have that back. It means a lot to me.” The silver-haired girl gave the small monkey a gentle smile as she was asking for her precious tiara back. Abu let out a sigh and looked away as he returned the tiara. Luna took the tiara and petted the monkey’s head. Luna motioned for Abu to climb onto her shoulder as the others were walking into the city. The monkey climbed on as the two returned to the group. Luna looked around her new surroundings as Aladdin was looking around the corner as if he was avoiding something. The more Luna looked around Agrabah, the more the city felt familiar. She couldn’t exactly tell why it felt familiar but she just felt as if she had visited before. “Something about this city……I feel as though this is not my first time……But when and why?….”Aladdin had mentioned that he was looking for a girl in a brown hijab. She had remembered reading about hijabs during one of her many lessons with her tutors. “I’ll keep my eye out for her.” After walking through the markets, her eyes shined with wonder with each passing vendor. It almost felt similar to the village back in Solara Lua. It was at that moment that a man had called out to Aladdin. Abu jumped back to Aladdin’s shoulder as Luna looked at the gold sash wearing man. Aladdin and the others had then started running from the man that appeared to be one of the royal guards Aladdin had mentioned. Luna started backing up before joining the others in running. Aladdin had explained just why the guards and him weren’t exactly all that friendly with one another and it reminded her own people. They hadn’t been in such a situation like Aladdin’s but nonetheless, it got her thinking about those that weren’t lucky to have the opportunities like the princess did. As they continued running, they stopped in their tracks as the group saw more guards in front of them. Aladdin drew out his scimitar and apologized to the group. He then offered to provide cover while they took this chance to escape. The silver-haired princess shook her head as she walked ahead of him and placed her arm in front of Aladdin. “There’s no need for you to fight alone, Aladdin. If this is how these “royal guards” act in regards to this city’s citizens, then I cannot walk away from this.” Luna looked to the others. “I am sure I am not alone in feeling this way, right everyone?” She gave the group a smile as she took a few more steps forward toward the head guard. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Hear me now and hear me clearly. The duty of royal guards is not only to protect royal blood but to watch over their people and ensure that they are safe. That they are not fighting for their lives for even a single grain of food.” Her face then shifted to one of frustration and annoyance. “To hunt down this city’s people as if they are nothing but rats….You are not deserving of your titles.” The princess summoned her keyblade and pointed it towards the guards in front of her. “As princess of the distant nation Solara Lua, allow me to instill the true meaning of your roles, firsthand!”
Luna smiled as Aladdin introduced Abu to the group. Abu had then leaped off from Aladdin and went over to Luna. She noticed the sparkle in his eyes as he gazed at her tiara. The princess giggled as she looked at the jewel-struck Abu. She petted his head before speaking. "Would you like to hold my tiara, Abu?" Luna took the tiara off her head and passed it to Abu. Abu took it from her hands as his eyes filled with wonder over the stunning tiara. The princess giggled once again. "Now, that tiara is very important to me. My father handpicked each of those jewels while my mother designed the crown herself before my father made the whole tiara himself. It's something filled with nothing but my parents' love so I unfortunately can't let you keep it. You can hold it though." She smiled as she looked at the crown herself, picturing the smiling faces her parents must have had as they built and designed the crown for their daughter. Memories flooded in, one after the other, leaving a gentle smile on her face as she reminisced old times with her family. She stroked Abu's head before closing her eyes, picturing her parents once more. Aladdin had then pointed out how the night was growing cold. He looked to his carpet before looking to the others. Luna looked at the carpet and agreed with Aladdin. Karina had then got on her glider to reassure Aladdin that they will be fine. Luna looked back at Abu as the small monkey continued to gaze at the crown. She looked back at the others before looking to Aladdin. "If it's alright with you Aladdin, may I join you on your carpet? I have a feeling Abu won't let my tiara go for awhile." Luna giggled as she asked. She knew full well that she had her own method of transportation but she couldn't bear tearing the crown away from Abu so soon. She looked to the others as she wanted to confirm with the others. "Would that be alright with you guys as well? Would you mid if I rode back with Aladdin and Abu on their carpet?"
Luna looked around her surroundings and saw nothing but sand blanketed underneath the cover of the night sky. However, something that had resembled a tiger's head nearby. As the others commented on the strange sight, they all started making their way toward it. Luna continued looking around and felt a strange sense of familiarity. Before she could ponder it any further, a voice boomed through the air. Luna looked back and saw it had been coming from the mysterious tiger head. The silver-haired girl ran over to the group to catch up with them. As she caught up with them, lightning struck across the sky while the wind started picking up. The tiger head was beginning to shrink and almost deteriorate while a man and what had appeared to be a flying carpet bolted through the tiger-like cave before landing behind the party. The group went over to the young man to check on him. Karina had looked to Luna as if confirming their actions. Luna looked at the young man before looking back at Karina, she nodded her head in agreement. Beuce was the first to make contact with the young man. He had introduced himself and checked to see if he was okay. The man stood up as he shook his hair to remove any sand that might've gotten on him. Once he had done all that, he had introduced himself as Aladdin. He had then explained that the sand tiger head was something called the Cave of Wonders. Luna looked back at where this cave was before disintegrating back into the sand dunes. She looked back at Aladdin as he motioned to the carpet he had flown in on as well as a golden lamp he had in his pocket. As he was talking about the lamp, he immediately stopped himself and changed the subject. As curious as Luna was, she chose not to pry any further. "We're actually just visiting but it seems we've gotten quite lost." Luna smiled as she scratched her head. She wanted to keep their reason short and vague as possible. She then proceeded to introduce herself. "I am Lunala, however, Luna is fine with me." Another smiled graced her lips as she looked at Aladdin. She had then noticed a monkey pop out its head from beneath the sand. Carrying what seemed to be a fez in its hand, it climbed up Aladdin's body and placed the fez on his head. Aladdin thanked it and patted its head. The silver -haired girl giggled as she watched on. "How nice of your friend! And who might you be?"
Lost in her own thoughts, it took her several moments to recognize Karina had walked up to her. She looked over to the girl, snapping out of her trance. The princess had a look of confusion on her face for a quick moment before replying back. "Huh?....Oh!...I don't mind at all. I actually find it comforting you'll be going along too." Luna smiled at Karina. She then saw Kel walking up to the two girls to join them. "You're coming along as well Kel?" Her smile remained on her face as she asked. "I'm glad to know you two will be coming along. Since it's a desert, hopefully we'll be able to find some clothing to help combat the heat." Luna scratched her head as she tried to wrack her head with any ideas. Not that she minded the desert, she was just not used to such dry and hot environments. The princess was more adjusted to being near bodies of water than the harsh elements of the desert.
Luna overheard the announcement from the courtyard. Phobos, in his fledgling form, hopped onto her shoulder after resting on the space next to her. "Hopefully, this will be good news..." Luna looked over to Phobos as she muttered it. The princess started making her way toward the conference room. Once the group had assembled in the conference room, a hollow grid was activated in front of them and a map had appeared before them. DJ had then notified them that he had both good and bad news. Luna prepared herself for either piece of news. He had then pointed towards two spots on the grid as he told the group that they were able to locate the last three remaining princess. However, only two of their locations were revealed while the last remains hidden. Luna listened intently as Shiro and DJ continued. Shiro had informed them that they would need to split into teams to survey both worlds. Once they were able to locate the princesses, they were to use their beacon apps to notify Disney Station. Luna nodded her head as they gave directions. DJ had then introduced a new app for their gummiphones that would detect any nearby Red Society members. Luna praised the two. "That's wonderful news regardless! Hopefully, we will be able to get the upper hand on them." Shiro switched the monitor off as he continued to give them updates. They will continue their search for Aux. Luna's eyes had then turned downcast. No leads on Aux's whereabouts still...... Luna's mind ran back to the moment Aux had disappeared with Whiskey. She had continuously blamed herself for that during the last two weeks along with tackling with the restoration of her kingdom after her world had finally been restored to its former glory. The fledgling on her shoulders poked its head into her neck as if ton pull her from her thoughts. She looked toward Phobos before raising her right hand to pet the fledgling. DJ notified the group that their ships would be leaving in 30 minutes before his voice cracked a bit. Luna chuckled a little bit before nodding her head. With that she made her way towards the ship headed toward Agrabah.
As Luna strolled around, she had realized she never told Aux of what was to happen the next day. Luna reached i to her pocket and pulled out the gummiphone that was handed to her. She opened up her phone and found Aux’s contact that was given to her. She left him a brief message but left it vague. Apologies for leaving a message this late. I need you to meet me by the ship we used from the Sanctuary at dawn. I would suggest being prepared for a period of time. Luna sent off the message and sat down on a nearby bench, waiting for the sun to rise. Luna remained on that bench that whole night and saw daylight break over the horizon. She got up and went back to her room to grab a small bag before walking over to where the ship was being held. A loud dinging sound came from Aux's phone to signal he missed a call. His large arm emerged from his blanket as he felt around for the gummi phone. He put it to his ear and played back the message. Upon hearing everything, he hung up the phone and groaned into his pillow. He did as instructed and went to meet her at the hangar. Not getting much sleep himself, he had bags under his eyes. He let out a huge yawn as he saw the princess approaching. He looked to see if anyone else was with her. "Where are the others?" Luna saw Aux by the hangar, yawning loudly. He looked over at her before asking where the others were. The princess shook her head. “No one else will be going. Originally, I was planning to go alone, but DJ and Shiro insisted that you were to be brought along.” She sighed for a moment before crossing her arms. “I am more than capable of handling myself and this is a more personal matter. But they left before I could argue back.” Luna walked past Aux and climbed aboard the ship. Aux blinked each eye separately from the early morning rise. Ignoring his unwanted presence, he was still on board with the plan. "Some one kidnap your boyfriend?" He asked, climbing onto the ship and closing the door behind them. Luna shook her head as she started up the ship. “No. Koa is fine. I did a small check in with him a little while ago.” Luna paused as she continued to focus on the starting sequence for the ship. “This is a tad more serious than that, I’m afraid....” The princess took ahold of the controls and the ship started to rise. Steadily, she continued to raise the ship higher into the air until she felt she was okay to open a gate. Luna took her keyblade, pointing it straight ahead, and opened a gate for the ship to pass through. His eyes widened ever so slightly as he took a seat next to her at the cockpit. "Well not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon..." he proved his feet on the dashboard, cracking his neck as he leaned back in the chair. He folded his arms and turned to her. He paused for a brief moment before sighing. "Look, I know you're able to take care of yourself. But we've been losing more and more people lately. Having some backup now and then doesn't hurt... Kaida told me that teamwork means people doing smaller jobs to get the big job done faster... so what's the big job?" Aux took his seat next to Luna. He then made himself comfortable by putting his feet on the dashboard. Luna immediately moved them off of it. “Do not put your feet on the dashboard. They are not a foot rest.” Aux then sighed before reasoning with the princess. He then asked what needed to be done. Luna had sighed as she continued to steer the ship. “This ‘big job’ is more on my end rather than someone else doing something...” She paused for a few moments. After several silent moments, Luna opened her mouth. “It involves that.” The princess then pointed towards the incoming world. The outside of it had been shattered and what could be seen of the ground was almost an ash grey color. “I will give you at least two guesses as to where we going.” Aux made a quick whistle as he eyed the broken world. "So are we here to fix it?" Luna nodded her head. “Essentially. Yes.” She tightly clenched the steering wheel as the sight of the broken world got closer and closer. Aux's eyes narrowed on her tense grip and patted her shoulder. "Hey..." he waited until she looked back at him. "You've got this." Luna looked back ahead as she still kept a tight grip. “I have a lot riding on this.” She paused. “A lot is at stake...” Several moments passed as they had reached the broken world. As they entered the world, no color was to be seen for miles and miles. All that filled this world was an ash grey and a sort of dark red tinge to it. Broken houses surrounded the area, dried up lakes and rivers, and the ground was bone dry and dead. It was as if the world was on its last few breaths. Luna looked away as the sight pained her immensely. She took a moment to breathe before looking at Aux. “If you had one guess as to where we are, where would you think?” After inspecting the broken terrain he shrugged. "Your home?" Luna looked back as they were passing a castle slowly breaking apart. “Welcome to what remains of Solara Lua...” She looked forward once more as the ship pressed on further into the world. "So, what can I do to help?" He asked cracking his neck as he stretched. He was starting to feel more awake now. Luna saw two people just up ahead and prepared to land the ship. “There’s not really much. Like I said, this is more on my end rather than it is yours. That is why I was telling DJ and Shiro I can take care of things.” The ship had landed in front of a young man and a young woman who had crossed her arms. Luna was the first to exit the ship. “Better late than never, Princess.” The young woman said with a hint of annoyance in her voice. “My apologies, Mira. There’s a lot going on right now.” Luna apologized to the woman named Mira. Mira had then sighed before the young man spoke up. “While that is understandable, Your Highness, but this issue needs to resolved quickly. You are running on borrowed time and that borrowed timed is quickly diminishing.” Mira nodded her head in agreement. “Deimos is right, kid. If we don’t get this solved, you and your brother are going to have a lot more to worry about.” Luna nodded her head in silence. She closed her eyes and turned her head away. “I know I have little time left. However, I will do what I can to get this resolved.” "You two..." he barked, referring to Mira and Deimos. "What can I do to help Luna do this as safely as possible? I know this is something she has to do alone, but there's gotta be some way I can support her." Mira walked over to Aux before answering back. “Listen Red-head. First of all, you don’t intimidate me or Bird-Brain over there. Second of all, I’ll be giving the orders around and you’ll treat that with respect. Third of all, there’s nothing we can do but wait.” Mira stepped up towards Aux, showing him she isn’t going to be one to budge. Deimos sighed as Luna scratched her head awkwardly. “What Mira is trying to say is that, there really is nothing we can do on this side, Her Highness will not be having any support once she starts. The only thing we can do is to prevent any intruders who might dare to enter.” Deimos calmly explained to Aux before turning to Luna. “Speaking of Her Highness, I had thought you would be traveling alone.” Luna looked back at Deimos. “A sudden change in plans unfortunately. Though it might be useful should something unexpected arise while I’m in there.” Deimos nodded his head before Mira looked at her. “Alright. Now answer me this, kid. How much does Little Red know?” Luna turned away as she scratched her temple awkwardly in silence. Mira shook her head before sighing. “Well that answers that.” He walked around them and nearly matched eyesight with Luna. "I'll make sure no one interrupts you from this side." He reached into his pocket and pull out an old folded piece of paper. "Growing up, I never had a lot of confidence in myself. So if you ever feel like you're not enough for the task, read what's on the paper." He put it in her hand and closed it. "You ready?" Mira scratched her head. “I’m guessing he knows nothing.” The young woman sighed and shook her head. Luna nodded her head as she put the paper in her pocket. “I’m ready but we’re still waiting for few others.” Mira then interjected. “Not to mention, Lizard Breath’s temple isn’t up yet. We still have time to sort of get ready.” Deimos sighed before elaborating further. “What Mira is saying is that Lord Phobos’ temple must reveal itself first before Her Highness steps in. We are still waiting for three more to be present.” “Nope, we just need the temple to show up now.” The three looked over at the sudden voice. The voice had belonged to Koa’s elder sister, Illiana. Along with her Luna’s twin brother and an orange haired girl appeared alongside Illiana. Luna ran over to her brother before hugging him. “Luci!” Lucien hugged his sister back as he greeted her. “Hey Luna. I’m glad you’re okay.” Mira crossed her arms. “Well now all we need is Lizard Breath to wake up.” She paused. “While we’re waiting, you might as well fill in Little Red here. I don’t know what you’ve kept secret from that group of yours but you’re gonna have to at least come clean to the red head here.” She point her thumb over at Aux before pausing once more. “Unless you rather have me do it for you, Luna.” "Up to you..." he motioned to Luna. Luna pulled away from her brother and remained silent. Mira shrugged her shoulders. “We’ll deal with that later, I guess.” She looked at the three that had arrived. “You guys weren’t followed, right?” Illiana shook her head. “We’re all clear. It should be relatively quiet for now.” Mira nodded her head. At that moment, the ground started to shake violently as something started to rise from the ground from several yards away. A building had started rising from the earth above the hidden building. “Guess Lizard-Breath is awake...” The group tried to keep balance as the ground continued to shake. Once the building had completely risen, the ground stopped. Luna immediately looked at everyone. “Is everyone alright?” The group nodded their heads. “Solana, Deimos, you two take to the skies and get to a vantage point. We need eyes above just in case.” The orange haired girl and Deimos nodded their heads before quickly shifting into a phoenix and the two flew off ahead. Luna then focused her attention on everyone else. “The rest of you guys will stay outside here. However, you guys will decide amongst yourselves on how you will be positioned.” The rest of the group nodded their heads. Luna looked back at the risen temple. She took a deep breath before walking right in. Mira watched as the princess marched ahead before turning back to Aux. “Alright. Since our princess is doing she needs to get done and everything is quiet. Let’s actually bring you up to speed, Little Red.” With one hand on her hip, she pointed in Aux’s face. “Pop quiz! What do you and your group already know about Luna?” He listed then aloud as he thought to himself. "Princess of heart, she has a brother, something happened to her homeworld..." Mira scratched her head before crossing her arms. “So practically nothing. Got it. Grab a chair, Red. You’re gonna be listening for a bit.” Luna walked up to the entrance of the temple. She hesitated for a few moments before shaking her head. She turned back to look at her friends and family before giving a slight smile and wave. Luna had then turned back towards the temple and ventured in with the door sealing off behind her. Illiana crossed her arms before letting out a sigh. “Alright. From here, it’s all on Luna. We’re merely bystanders right now.” Mira shook her head. “I wouldn’t say that, oh niece of mine. You never know what might be lurking around. We have to make sure no ones gets into that temple, otherwise our dear Princess will be grave danger.” Mira placed a hand on her hip as her gaze directed towards the temple. She then looked at Aux. “Can you handle a little guard duty, Little Red?” "Beats doing nothing I guess." He peered off to where he last saw Luna. "Whatever gets us to that final form." “Great. Not much arguing with Little Red here. I honestly thought he was the type to rebel or something like that.” Mira shrugged her shoulders before putting both hands behind her head. She looked over towards the temple with a gaze of concern painting her eyes. “Go easy on her, Lizard Breath. She ain’t Selene but she’s her family regardless...” The woman turned back towards Aux. “Well Little Red, we have some time so let’s have a nice long chat. How does that sound?” Illiana rubbed her temple in frustration. “She certainly likes to make light of even the most intense of situations doesn’t she?” Illiana sighed as she looked at the temple before looking behind her for any intruders or individuals that would be trespassing on their home. "You know I'm taller than you, right?" He asked regarding being called 'Little Red' so many times. "And it's not like I'm going anywhere anyways..." Mira shrugged her shoulders. “And? Everyone here is little to me. Doesn’t matter if you’re tall or short. Everyone is a little kid to me.” She stretched a little hit as she paused. “Unless you’re somehow older than me then you’re staying Little, capiche Little Red?” Aux kept thinking back to how he would've responded to this a year ago. He simply groaned and glared at her. Mira smirked for a moment before looking at Aux. “You can keep glaring all you want but unless you’re over 3000 years old, that name is sticking.” She chuckled before crossing her arms. Illiana sighed as she rubbed her temple again. “You can ignore her but she really is over 3000 years old.” He looked to Iliana. "So What are you doing back here?" Illiana looked back at Aux. “Same reason we’re all here. Protect the princess and bring back our home from the brink of destruction.” Illiana looked at the temple before looking back at Aux. “However, once we bring this back, more problems are gonna come along. There’s only so much the Prince and the others here can do.” Aux nodded in reply. "What did you say your name was again?" Illiana responded to the young man. “Illiana. Illiana Salavic.” She paused for a moment. “Your name is Aux right? If it’s alright with you, I’m just gonna stick with Red.” "Why? Is Aux really such a hard name to remember?" he replied. Illiana shrugged. “Nah. I just get lazy.” She crossed her arms as she responded. “I got too many things to remember and names are the least of my worries.” "Whatever you say..." he eyed her up and down briefly to try and come up with a color to define her as well. He caught sight of her hair and added; "-Chestnut..." Illiana looked at Aux before shaking her head. She sighed for a moment before smacking Aux behind his head. “Chesnut? Really? If you’re gonna throw nicknames back at someone, be a little more creative with it.” She shook her head again as Mira nodded in agreement. “It’s all in the creativity of the names and speed. It was a decent attempt though.” The prince sighed as he rubbed his temple. “Are we really discussing names and comebacks when we’re supposed to be watching for any trouble?” He looked back at the temple. A look of worry spread across his face. A portal opened in a flash of light with whiskey stepping through it. Her long, white flowing dress cascading behind her. She summoned her keyblade and began to scatter her chains across the floor. "où est-elle?" She spoke calmly with intimidation as she walked forward. "Ahh crap..." Aux replied. A small look of annoyance crossed Mira’s face. “Tch…Figured we wouldn’t have some peace and quiet.” Illiana looked over at Mira for a moment. Mira looked back at her and immediately shook her head. Lucien took a step forward and answered. “Malheureusement pour vous, elle n'est pas là.” His expression did not waver as he calmly answered. Illiana and Mira took a step forward behind the Prince. “You are not welcome here. Leave now.” Whiskey summoned to light chains as she entangled them around Mira and the prince. Lucien struggled a bit as Mira remained calm with a smug grin on her face. “Now we see the gimmick live and in person. Those two already filled me in on what you’re about and trust me sweetie, I don’t taste that good.” A faint dark red aura surrounded her as she spoked to Whiskey. Illiana then took this opportunity to speak to Whiskey as well. “You won’t get anywhere if you harm a single hair on either of their heads.” She crossed her arms. “Besides, you can try and kill that one but she’s pretty stubborn for someone over 3000.” Mira looked back. “You know…Fair enough. She has a point.” "I have adjusted..." she spoke clearly in English. She twisted her wrist as if turning a metaphysical gear, causing the chain on Mira to turn a darker shade. "Any vaccine requires knowledge of the virus to purge it..." The Dark chain began to drain Mira's aura at a rapid rate. "Va avec dieu.." she calmly replied, watching the life drain from Mira. Mira dropped to her knee as she felt her energy being sapped. “Alright…she came prepared…” She struggled a bit against the chains. “Wasn’t….expecting that……and….me without a….plan….b…” Lucien struggled against his own chains before dropping onto both knees. “I didn’t….think….she adapt….so quick….” The two felt the energies being drained more and more with each passing minute. Illiana called out to Whiskey. “Stop!! If you think this will get the Princess to you sooner, then you’re sorely mistaken!!!! What good is hurting these two gonna do for you?!?!” "She took everything from me... now I will return the favor..." she flung a dark chain at Illiana, zooming towards her. Aux spung ahead of her and guarded with his blade, the chain partying off it. "Roturier.." she groaned, glaring at him "MOVE... or DIE." she commanded them. Lucien fell to his knees as he continued to struggle. He couldn’t understand what was driving Whiskey to do all of this. He tried to gather as much strength as he could to tilt his head up and look at her. “What could….she possibly have….taken from you?….You two barely…..know each other!” Mira looked over at Whiskey as well. “The princeling….has a point…..how could she have stolen……everything if you two never really….spoke?” And then it hit Illiana at once, it had started to make sense. “You know Luna is a princess of heart, don’t you?” Illiana gazed right into Whiskey’s eyes. “That must be it. If you have something to do with that, it would make sense why you’re doing this but I’m still not making any sense of it!” Whiskey then shot out a dark chain at her. Illiana braced for impact but before the chain could reach her, Aux immediately blocked it. “Thanks but I could’ve dodged it.” With one hand on her hip, she smirked as she gave her thanks. Illiana looked back at Whiskey. “One more chance. Let the Prince and the woman go. Luna isn’t here. There’s nothing for you to gain here. Release them and leave!! This is your final warning!” Illiana opened her palms at her side as dual pistols were summoned to her hands. She readied herself for to fight, knowing she was most definitely Whiskey was in a league of her own......
Shiro and DJ looked at one another before looking back at Luna. Shiro and DJ agreed to let Luna go but on one condition. "I have to take Aux with me? It makes sense but I am more than capable of defending myself, I do not wish to take Aux away from any training." DJ sighed at Shiro before turning back to Luna. He informed her that she could take the ship they flew in on from the Sanctuary. The princess sighed before scratching her head. "And I guess that ends that discussion..." DJ had then told her to contact someone in case her situation got out of hand. Luna nodded her head as the two of them walked off. Another sigh left Luna's lips as she scratched her head once more. "Well, at least there'll be more eyes to keep watch. Though that'll require me to explain the situation to him......Or I could have the others explain it to him. I feel horrible about that but I am on borrowed time." Luna sighed once more before walking away. She walked back to her room and got her stuff ready for the journey ahead. Suffice to say, sleep was not easily obtainable for the princess. Luna had so many things running through her head. Her kingdom and its current situation, her world and what little time she had left to try and save it, her own strength and how to convince Phobos to help her, and what other hurdles might lie ahead for her to face. A multitude of things that kept eating away at her mind throughout the night. After tossing and turning for a few hours, Luna decided to get up and have a stroll, hoping the night air might help clear her mind. However, her stroll would do little to calm her racing mind as the sun rose on the horizon, bringing a new day.
Luna stepped out of the Gummi Ship to see DJ and Shiro awaiting their return. DJ had informed the group that they had found Aurora before recommending they expand their arsenal. Shiro then flipped a switch to reveal an assortment of long-ranged weapons. Luna gazed at each of the weapons but none of them even sparked an interest in her. She looked at DJ and Shiro. "If it is alright with you two, I have my own preferred weapon of choice." Luna then took out a small box and proceeded to open it. Inside, there was a small blue stick with small gold accents on it and an engraving of a crest on it. The princess removed it from the box before tossing it into the air. She raised her hand and small glow shined from that hand. The crest shined in response and the stick had extended with a blade forming at the top, forming into a halberd. As it started coming down, Luna caught it moving with it as it spun around her body before she stuck it into the ground. "I would rather use this. It is nothing against those fine weapons but I much rather use this. It's more of a sentimental reason." DJ and Shiro had then given the group their next course of action for tomorrow. The group went their separate ways. As Luna started walking off, she heard a faint sound coming from her pocket. Luna reached into her pocket and pulled out her sphere-comm. She waved her other hand over to answer the signal. From the sphere appeared Mira and Deimos, Luna then greeted them. "Mira, Deimos, what's going on?" Mira crossed her arms. "What's going on? What isn't going on?" She paused before continuing. "You-know-who is starting to catch wind of our little plan. Not to mention Lizard Breath's patience is running thin." The princess was a bit confused on the information that had just been relayed to her. "What do you mean? How? Phobos knows we are coming?" Deimos had then spoke up. "One of her servants might have seen us leave for Solara Lua. As for Lord Phobos, the instant we reached Solara Lua, I instantly felt a presence higher than Lady Artemis. Lord Phobos is awake, mi'lady." Luna's eyes widened in shock for a moment. Mira had then continued. "There's only so much time Lizard Breath can hold out for before he decides he's done and with Wannabe Dictator over there sniffing us out, we don't have much time. It's now or never kid. You need to get your royal bum here now." Luna placed a hand on her forehead. What was she going to do? She couldn't abandon her training but she also has a duty to her world and its people. Luna looked back at Mira and Deimos. "Alright. I'll get there as soon as possible. Deimos, I'll call for you in a bit. Be prepared." Deimos bowed to his princess. "Of course, Your Grace." Luna looked to Mira. "Mira, contact Lucien as soon as you can and let him know. Once you do that, we'll need him on Solara Lua." Mira seemed a bit lost as to why Luna needed her brother there as well. "I can do that but why do we need him here?" Luna paused then placed a hand over her heart. "Just a feeling I have right now. Please trust me on this." Mira shrugged. "Alrighty, you're the boss." With that, the two faded away and the light emitting from the sphere was no longer shining. She put the sphere back in her pocket before clenching her fist. "I'm running out of time. I need to hurry." Luna turned around and made her way toward DJ and Shiro. "DJ...Shiro...may I have a moment with you two?" Time was of the essence and if she needed to leave, it would have to be now. She walked along with the two. "I have something urgent that needs to be taken care of back home. If I do not get this settled now, I fear for the worst for my home." Luna then bowed her head. "My deepest apologies, however, I will not be able to join the others for training until I get this matter sorted."
Luna's emerald colored eyes shot wide open at the sight of a familiar adversary. The Headless Horseman had appeared in front of the group, however, his appearance had been through a drastic change. "Cara deum...." The horseman was no longer headless as he donned a skull with horns coming out from his head. The horseman looked at the princess as she took a step back. Before she realized what was going on, the Horseman had shot a fireball at her. Jack immediately jumped in front of her, taking the brunt of blow, knocking him away from the group. Luna immediately turned to Jack before reaching a hand towards him. "Jack! Zero!" Luna turned her head right back the Horseman. "That was a mistake, Horseman! You will pay for that! Not only for Jack's sake, but for Belle as well! You will return her back this instant!!" Oogie then pushed a button which locked the group in what appeared to be some board game. She looked to the others before shouting to them. "Keep your guards up!! Do not let them down, not even for a moment!!" She looked back at the Horseman with a hidden fire hidden behind her emerald irises. The group had won the game against Oogie. Luna ran towards the Horseman but before she could reach him, he had vanished from sight. She clenched her fists tightly, whispering to herself. "Not again...." She took a deep breath before immediately running over to Jack and Zero. Once she reached the two, she immediately casted a healing spell. "Are you alright, Jack?" The skeleton nodded his head. Sigh of relief left the princess' mouth as Jack assured her he was okay. "Thank you for saving me. I owe you a lot for that." It was then Luna felt a familiar light nearby. She turned towards it and saw that the keyhole had revealed itself. "It's the keyhole!" Quill's keyblade had been immediately drawn to it. Quill had then sealed the keyhole, securing the safety of this world. A smile had then covered his face. Luna felt a sense of relief at the moment, it had felt as if the weight of his burdens had gotten lighter. Jack had then confronted Oogie, taking his place as the true Pumpkin King. Luna watched on as she remembered Jack's words and ambitions about what the Pumpkin King is. Another smile had graced her face once more. Jack had then given the group of SOS members his first task as Pumpkin King. Oogie laughed hysterically at the thought of the group "escorting" him out. Luna crossed her arms before speaking to Oogie. "I would not laugh if I were in your place, Oogie. You will atone for all the crimes you committed here and never harass these people again." She then looked to the others. "I am on board for whatever you guys see fit as his punishment."
Luna followed the group as they had finally reached Oogie's manor. Jack had then knocked on the door before a voice spoke out to them. It was the sound of a small child. Jack had then made up a reason to visit. Luna felt a little off about her surroundings. Once the words 'trap door' were uttered, Luna immediately looked at the floor as it opened up beneath the group. Without a blink, Luna found herself falling at what had felt like 20 feet. The door that had dropped them had then shut, leaving the group in complete darkness. Without being able to see anything, Quill suggested for the group to huddle together, with their backs to each other. The sounds of keyblades being summoned echoed in Luna's ears. She stayed right where she had landed and closed her eyes while taking a deep breath. She took that moment to think of an idea that benefit their situation. Quill had then asked Jack if Zero's nose could shine brighter. She immediately opened her eyes with a gasp. In that moment, an idea had appeared in her head. "That's it!" Luna shouted towards Quill. "That won't be necessary!" Luna then cupped her hands together and closed her eyes once more, seeming to be in deep concentration. With her eyes remaining closed, Luna concentrated her energy into her hands. With each second, a small glimmer of light appeared in her hands before it continued to grow into a small ball of light, illuminating the surrounding area. "We have enough light here." Luna opened her eyes as she looked at the group.
Luna continued to fend off against the heartless. Cutting down each one that had dared to confront her. She watched as the others continued doing the same. The princess scanned the area around her and saw the heartless' numbers were diminishing with each passing second, until a few had remained. It was then she heard Kel shout. She turned to where he was looking to see Quill on the ground while the heartless were pouncing on him. "Kel! AJ!" She turned toward the two before she gave instructions. "Take care of that and keep him covered!" She turned to the remaining heartless that still stood in front of her. Luna ran towards the enemies alongside Jack. With a couple of slashes from her blade, the remaining enemies had been dealt with. The princess looked around once more just to be sure no other enemies were lying in wait. After making sure the area was clear, Luna ran over to the group of three. She kneeled down to take a look at Quill's injuries. Before she took a glance, she looked to the others to see if they needed any first aid. "Did anyone else suffer any injuries? I want to make sure everyone is alright before we press on." She turned Quill over before beginning to administer first aid. Luna took a look at Quill's gashes and immediately held her keyblade above his body. A warm green light covered her blade before covering Quill. She knew her healing magic wasn't going to immediately fix everything but she knew it would hold over until they would be able to get access to proper medical equipment. "Quill. Quill, are you alright? Can you hear me??" The princess called out to him as she continued using her healing magic. 12/12
Luna continued to lend her ear to Quill as he expressed more of his concerns: His concerns for his home, his concerns for his world, and his concern for himself. Luna's eyes widen as she saw drops of blood flow from his hand. With conflict filling his eyes, Quill thanked the princess for listening and lending council to him. Before Quill could rejoin the others, Luna grabbed his wrist and pulled out a small cloth from her pocket. "The best way you can thank me...is by not giving up." She paused as she started wrapping the bleeding hand. "Don't allow doubt to fill your mind. Nothing will be resolved if you allow 'what-if' scenarios stop you. Sometimes, you just have to go for it. Life isn't about 'what-ifs', it is about taking your shot and moving forward." Once she finished wrapping his hand, Luna looked up at Quill with a smile on her face. "That is how you can thank me. I will not accept anything else." Luna placed a hand on his shoulder, nodding her head before walking back to the others. Jack had went on about what it meant to be the Pumpkin King. It had meant that you were a symbol of Halloween and leader on the night of frights. Luna heard the passion and conviction in his voice as he spoke about the role. "It sounds to me like you would be a much better fit for this role instead of Oogie." A small giggle left her lips. The group had reached the hill and as they were about to press on. Heartless had the group surrounded. Keyblade in hand, the group had started their strike back against the Heartless. With Jack's Soul Robber equipped, Luna looked at it and an idea sparked in her mind. She looked at the Heartless that were surrounding them before looking back at her keyblade. She turned her head toward Jack. "Jack! Quickly! Use your Soul Robber and launch me into the air!" Jack looked hesitant but Luna gave him a smile of confidence as she nodded her head. With a quick nod of his head, Jack extended his Soul Robber to grab her wrist. Luna grabbed onto the Soul Robber as Jack spun her before releasing her into the air. As she was sent into the air, Luna spun her body around pointing her keyblade outwards. The tip of her blade glowed blue as ice magic started shooting out from her blade. The ice struck the Heartless that were getting close to the group, giving them a bit more breathing room. Luna landed back down on her feet. She stood back up as she thanked Jack. Luna looked back at the remaining heartless. "That gave us a bit more room to breathe. Though there's still many more to go through." As Luna was surveying her surroundings, the ears on her head twitched a bit as she heard rustling coming from behind her. With a quick swipe, she had gotten rid of the heartless that was about to attack. A small look of concern covered her face. "How did I-? It's as if my hearing just elevated further." Luna went to touch her ears that should've been at the side of her head. When she discovered her ears were not where it should have been, her eyes widen as she reached for the top of her head. "What in the name-?!" She touched her new ears in shock. Luna had then remembered that heartless were still attacking them which needed to be resolved. The princess drew her keyblade and readied herself for battle once more. 7/12
