The medic is close to finishing up Luna as Noctis and Prompto bring in Aux. "We're back." "And we brought a friend!" Aux was sat down next to Luna tilting his head back and forth lazily. "What's wrong with him?" The medic asked. "THaT's LUna," Aux said, drooping his words as he pointed to her. "And sHe iS a PRincESS." "Tranq dart, got it..." The medic said, looking into his bag. Luna slowly opened her eyes to find herself in the medical bay. She saw one of the medics finishing up healing the princess. She turned her head to see Noctis and Prompto dragging in Aux from what she could see. "I-is that A-Aux?" The two men brought Aux next to her. "I-I-I apologize...I just woke up...I-it's a little difficult to see at the moment." The medic had begun examining Aux to find what was wrong with him. It seemed Aux was acting a little odder than normal. The medic had determined it was a tranquilizer dart that was affecting him. "How did this happen?" She was a bit lost as to what had happened between her losing consciousness and her waking up. "Aux? W-what happened to you?" "I'm Aux!" Aux spoke as the medic gave him a counter sedative into his arm. "Yeah.. one of the guards kinda made a misfire. This is the result." Prompto replied. Aux tried to shake his head before looking at Luna. "Gooooood morning!" Aux said to Luna with warm smile. "Medication should take effect in the next half hour. Yours as well. Your injury was... hard to place. But I just boosted your energy with what I had." The medic informed. Luna watched as the medic inject medicine into Aux's arm. She turned to Prompto as he explained the situation. Luna nodded her head before turning back to Aux. "I see...Well...." The princess paused. "I rather it be that sort misfire than of the other variety." She sighed for a moment before Aux talk to her once more. He had greeted her a 'Good Morning' with a smile on his face. An expression that was rare for Aux to make. Luna nodded her head and she returned his greeting. The medic had then informed Luna of their states at the moment. "I'm grateful for all you've done, Doctor. Thank you very much." Luna bowed her head to the medic. She then turned her head down to her lap to recollect her thoughts and processed all events that have happened so far. Luna clenched her fists. "Lucian.....They will pay for this...." She took a deep breath to calm herself. She turned to Prompto and Noctis. "I thank you both once again! If it weren't for you two, I might have died back there. And I thank you for bringing Aux all the way here." The princess turned her head to the odd-mannered Aux. "Ahh no worries, shame he's gonna be a bit loopy for a while... who knows how long it will take before it gets better..." Aux shot up from his chair like a rocket as they had just finished bandaging his wrist. "Mom!" He yelled out. "It's worse than we thought..." Noctis sighed. Aux shook his head as he tried to get his brain in order. "They... they took them in the prison block. My mom included... Everyone's searching... We should too." Aux turned and bumped into another young man. This young man was Scott. He had just been finished being looked after from the small graze that Karina left on him. As he bumped into Aux, Scott dropped the small twine of hair he took from his to-be-fiancee. "Do you mind?" He asked rudely before looking at what he dropped. "Pick that up." "What?" Aux asked, trying to get passed him. Before he could leave, Scott quickly grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. "Are you deaf AND stupid, you neanderthal? I said.. Pick that-" Aux gave him a swift jab to the nose, knocking him flat on his back. Aux let out a grunt of pain, shaking his broken wrist off. "ACCK! Worth it... Hnnnng..." He turned to Luna and tilted his head to the elevator. "Come on, let's go." He looked down at Luna to see if she was alright first. "You okay?" Noctis looked at Prompto. "Are we... still supposed to follow them?" "What, you had better plans?" Prompto asked. Luna nodded her head before Aux shot up from his chair. The action had startled the girl a little bit. Luna turned her head to hear Noctis sighing. "Well...At least it didn't take too long." Luna awkwardly laughed as she scratched her head. Aux had spoke about people in a prison block, including his mother. Luna was a bit confused at what he was talking about. "H-hold on Aux. What are you talking about?" Luna tried to stand up as she attempted to make sense of the situation. Aux had then bumped into another man, which caused the man to drop what seemed to be hair. "Hair?..." The man was quite rude about the situation, demanding that Aux pick up what the young man dropped. "E-excuse me?-" Luna was about to step in when Aux knocked the man down on his back. The red-haired man shook his wrist, as that jab had hurt his hand. "H-hey..-" Luna was about to see when Aux headed toward the elevator. Aux had asked if she was alright. She nodded her head. "I still feel a little light-headed, however, I'm alright physically for the most part." The princess sat down for a moment as she held her head. She shook her head to ward off the weariness she was feeling it. The princess got back up and looked at the man on his back. "It would be wise to think before speaking in the future." She bowed her head before going to Aux. "Care to explain to me just what is going on? Just what is happening?" Aux took a deep breath as he doubled back. "The Red Society is here and they've taken a bunch of people we care about. They were trying to escape with them but something went wrong. So now they're stashing them like hostages. And now we have to rescue them because I don't know when I'll get to see her again!"Aux stopped talking after he realized what he said. "Because... I don't know if I'll see her again..." Aux corrected himself, taking a beat. "I've been away from home for almost five years... I told her I'd make her proud." He swallowed the lump in his throat. "I was in such a rush to find her, I never thought about what I'd say..." Luna clenched her fists before looking down. She then muttered to herself. "I was hoping that was all a dream...." The girl closed her eyes for a brief moment. "Brother...." As Aux finished explaining, it seemed he had a small outburst with his last sentence. Luna looked up at the silent Aux. He had corrected himself before explaining any further. It had seemed that Aux was carrying burdens of his own. Luna's eyes shifted to the side to choose her next words. Luna gave herself a few moments to really think and choose carefully. "I...I don't know who this 'her' might be..." She paused. "However, it is alright to not know what to say in situations like these. There is no right way go about some situations. However, it is important that you face those problems head-on instead of avoiding it." She held her hands together, placing the joined hands in the center of her chest. "Regardless of what may have happened in the past, whoever you are looking for will still care about regardless...no matter how much time has passed." Luna looked right into Aux's eyes as she gave her thoughts. "Sometimes you just need to have a little faith. Okay?" A smile had graced her face as she did her best to reassure Aux. Luna took a deep breath before speaking. "So...shall our first stop be at the prison blocks? Or was there another place you had in mind? I'll let you call the shots." The princess giggled a bit before awaiting Aux's answer. She smiled at him a little more kindly and her small giggle was just too damn precious. Aux chose to stand up with a renewed attitude. "Thank you." he shyly replied, trying to return the smile. "Most of the others are still in the earlier levels of the prison block, so we should probably start at the opposite end..." he looked back into her eyes. "And don't worry, we'll find your brother...." Noctis stepped forward. "Prompto and I will stay on the main level if anything changes." Aux nodded in response. He grabbed Luna by her hand and ran forward. "Let's go!" He led her straight to the elevator and pressed the 'Z' button to transfer them to the bottom of the prison block. As the elevator doors closed, he realized he was still holding her hand and quickly let go. "Sorry." he replied, turning red. Luna's smile stayed on her face as she nodded her thanks. "Anytime!" She placed her hands behind her back as Aux decided their next course of action. The princess nodded her head as she listened. Aux had then reassured Luna about her brother. She went silent for a moment before nodding her head. A couple more moments of silence passed by. "Thank you." Luna looked off to the side, her thoughts taking over her mind. "Illiana was taken too....I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if either of them were to be harmed..." She casted her gaze to the floor and closed her eyes as she held her necklace. Noctis had then spoke up, informing the two of his and Prompto's plans now. Luna nodded her head before bowing. "I can't thank you two enough for all you've done. You have my gratitude." Aux had then taken ahold of her hand, dragging her into the elevator. Once the two were inside the elevator, Aux had pressed a button to take them to their destination. Before Luna could say anything, Aux immediately released her hand and apologized, his face turning red. She shook her head as she replied calmly. "That's alright. No need to worry." The princess looked up as the elevator descended to the bottom. Luna took a deep breath as she held her necklace, praying she would find at least some sort of clue to the whereabouts of her brother and her soon-to-be older sister. "We'll find your brother and friend again..." he looked to the elevator as the doors opened. "We'll find my mother as well.." The two left the doors as they raced down the corridors. Z block was empty, as was blocks Y to U. They approached T Block where Illiana and Lucian were placed in the same cell. As Luna approached Block T, she tried to keep her head up in hopes she would find her family. She looked and looked in each cell to find no one in each of them. As she approached the next cell, she found two people sitting in one cell. The princess drew closer and closer to see it was Lucian and Illiana. "Lucian!! Illiana!!" The two picked their heads up to see Luna running toward them. Lucian stood up and grasped the bars. "Luna!!" Luna grasped the bars and faced the two in the cell. "I thought I'd lose you two as well..." Tears ran down her face as she expressed her fear. Her brother placed a hand on her head as he tried to comfort her. "It'll take more than some little hole to get rid of us. You know that right?" Luna giggled as Illiana made her comment. The girl nodded her head.
As the chains tightened around Luna, she could feel more and more of her energy drained out of her. The woman raised her hand up to sky and the chains, along with Luna, rose with her hand. Before Luna could utter a word, the mysterious woman slammed her down and sent Luna crashing onto the floor. With another motion, she swung her hand to the west wall, sending Luna crashing into it. She could barely move before, but now her body was almost lifeless. The woman then pulled Luna's chains and slammed her onto the opposite wall. Luna could barely feel her fingers or move anything in her body. The sound of a chair hitting against something rang in the princess' ears. She tried her best to move her head, only to see Noctis and Prompto. The woman immediately bound Prompto in her chains as Noctis looked for something to shield himself with. Luna slowly opened her mouth and hoarsely spoke. "R..Run...get..out of...here.." Noctis asked the woman just who she was. She revealed herself as Princess Amelie from a kingdom called Ridania. Luna was definitely unfamiliar with that name or that kingdom. Amelie then turned to Luna before tightening her chains further, accusing Luna of taking something. Just what could Luna have taken if she had never even known of this woman? Amelie continued to drain the light out of Luna. Luna was on the verge of losing consciousness before she felt the chains being removed from her body. Her body dropped to the floor before hearing an aggravated scream coming from Amelie. Luna tried to move her fingers but found it hard to do so. Noctis ran over to the princess, wrapping an arm under her shoulders to lift her body slightly. Prompto walked over to the two to make sure they were alright. "Noct! You alright?" Noctis nodded his head. "I'm fine. It's Luna that needs help right now." Prompto looked at Luna and was concerned. "Her highness needs some immediate help and fast." The sounds of an argument filled the room. The two men looked over to see what was happening before looking back at Luna. Luna needed some medical attention and she needed it fast. Noctis shouted at the group. "Hey!!" Prompto looked at Noctis while remaining silent. "I think we have a bigger problem over here! She needs help!!" Prompto looked to the group before shouting. "Her highness is gonna need someone to look at her before anything else. Whatever that lady did to her, it really really knocked the wind out of her!!" Luna tried to open her eyes and opened her mouth. "You...you guys...go on...ahead...." Luna struggled to utter her sentence as she told the group to go on without her. Amelie had drained so much of her strength while inflicting various other injuries on her that it almost hurt to speak. "I-....I'll catch up....with you...soon....The others....they need more help...." Noctis and Prompto stared at the princess as she pleaded for the group to help out the others.
Luna listened in while still forming many, many questions to ask these board members. She looked over to her brother as he was listening intently. Perhaps there was some questions he was formulating as well. There was quite a few problems she had with the board. Did they think that some world leaders were not competent enough to help their people? She couldn't tell and didn't want to assume anything yet. "Something about this whole thing just does not sit well with me, Luci." Luna looked to her brother as unease settled in. Lucian put a hand on his sister's back, hoping to reassure her. "It doesn't sit well with me either, Luna. However, things will get better and we'll get to the bottom of this. I assure you that." Luna placed a hand over her brother's as she nodded her head in thanks. Before either of the twins could ask their own questions, the sound of her bracelet caught both of their attentions. "The bracelet..." The captain had then asked everyone to return to their rooms as the people began to stir. Luna turned to Lucian. "I don't have a good feeling about this..." The twins turned to Illiana, Orella, and Soliana. Before either of them could say anything, the P.A. system was blasting with a familiar voice. "No..." Her eyes widened in shock before turning back to the three women. "Illiana!! Soliana!! Get Orella out of here now!!!" The two nodded their head before moving out of the room. Sho had started talking about a new game in which sent Luna's worries skyrocketing. He had then spoke of removing extra pieces from this new game. "Extra pieces?!" As if time was in slow-motion, she heard a scream from behind her. A scream belonging to an oh-so familiar face. She turned around to see Illiana sinking down into a dark portal. "No..no...nonononononono.....Illiana!!!!!!" "Soliana! Orella! Go now!!!" Memories from her past started to fill her head. As if to give her mind no reprieve at all, Lucian had let out an outcry. Luna immediately turned around to see her brother start to sink down in that same portal. "Lucian!!" She grabbed his hand and tried to pull him out. She pulled and pulled, with tears filling to the brim in her eyes. Unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough to pull him out and Lucian completely sunk into the portal. Her eyes widening in shock once again, the dam that was holding her tears at bay broke, releasing her tears as she screamed out her dear brother's name. "LUCIAN!!!!!!!!" Luna dropped to her knees and held her arms, bringing her face close to the ground. Two more portals had shown up before them. Luna stood up, tears still running down. She had no time to react at all as white chains shot out from the portal. The chains immediately wrapped her up. As she struggled, Luna felt her energy rapidly decrease. A woman had then emerged from the portal, walking over to the princess. The woman had opened her mouth, her attention pointed towards Luna. She had spoke in French, with rage hiding underneath her tone. "Give what back?....What...do you...mean...false princess?..." It was almost as if the chains were sucking her energy dry as she gathered enough energy to ask her questions.
As Luna walked out of the court room, both trial had left a bad taste in her mouth. The judge was not professional in the slightest in Luna's eyes. It had taken every nerve in her body to not blatantly shout at the judge for the way she had conducted herself in both trials and her practice as a judge. As much as she wanted to help her friends escape her cell, she knew she wouldn't be able to if she was behind bars as well. Luna leaned her back against the wall, letting out a small sigh. A hand laid on Luna's shoulder. She turned her head to find the owner of that hand belonged to Illiana. "Everything alright, Lulu?" Luna sighed once again before answering. "Yes. Just reminded myself that not every person's view on justice is as our view or their majesties' views..." The princess lowered her head. Illiana patted her head. "Every person is different but that doesn't mean we can't make a difference in at least one person's life." Luna smiled a bit. "Thanks Lili." Illiana nodded her head before escorting her to the summit. As the two reached the doors to the summit, they saw Lucian and the others. Illiana walked over to Solianna as Luna greeted her brother. Lucian offered Luna his arm. "Shall we head inside?" Luna nodded before taking his arm. The other three made their way to the spectator seats while the two royals went through the VIP doors. She looked around to see the auditorium before eyes fell on the center of the room."Everything will be fine, Luna." Lucian sensed the unease on Luna's face as he tried to reassure his sister. Luna looked up at her brother before a smile graced her face. "Thank you Luci. I'm glad you're here with me." Lucian smiled before nodding his head. The two then made their way in and took their seats. April Attendance: 8/30
Luna walked into the elevator and looked at both Noctis and Prompto before thanking them. "Merci beaucoup!" She smiled at both men as the elevator doors closed, descending them down to the lower levels. The princess held her necklace as the elevator continued to descend, praying she would be able to find the rest of the group. As the elevator doors opened, Noctis and Prompto were the first to exit the elevator. Luna followed after them as the three made their way into the cells. She spotted a couple of familiar faces. "You guys!!" Luna waved her arm towards the group. She walked up to Kel and Beuce before looking at those who were in the cells. She let out a sigh of relief before speaking. "I'm glad you guys are safe! It's not under the best circumstances but I'm happy to know you guys are okay." She put a hand on her chest before looking over to Noctis and Prompto. "This is Noctis and that is Prompto. They were kind enough to escort me down here." She then gestured to the two as a smile graced her face. She walked over to the cells and looked at each person. "How did you guys end up here? Maybe there's a way I can get you guys out on bail?" Luna brought her hand to her chin as she pondered on how to release them. April Attendance: 7/30
Prompto bowed to the Princess and had asked her if she would like to join the two in visiting the detention center. Before Luna could answer, Noctis interjected and went back and forth with Prompto. She had assumed they were talking about their friends. Noctis then turned to Luna, informing her how they haven't been able to get into contact with anyone outside of the Sanctuary. Luna put a hand on her chin as she processed that. "Interesting..." Perhaps, there was something interfering with communications. Or perhaps, their means of communication was just out of reach for them to use it? Noctis had then told Luna she didn't have to join him and Prompto if she didn't want to. Noctis immediately glared at Prompto before scolding him. Prompto had then asked the Princess if there was anyone she knew that would be in the cells. Luna nodded her head. "I was actually planning on heading there myself after the summit but it appears that they extended visiting hours." Luna looked back at Noctis. "If it's alright with you, may I join you two? Some of my friends are missing and I need to see if, perhaps, they may be in their holding cells." Luna smiled at both Noctis and Prompto as she asked. April Attendance: 6/30
Luna walked up to the spot the compass had lead her, looking around for any sign of Koa. As she looked around, she heard a voice call out to her. Luna turned around and saw a blonde man walking toward her. He looked pretty friendly to say at the least but his wardrobe gave a different signal about him. The man had then said something about someone sending the wrong woman. The princess tilted her head in confusion before seeing the compass in hi hand. "That compass...." Luna started making her way over before the man called over to who she assumed to be his friend. Another man had approached Luna and the blonde man. She immediately noticed the man's dark-spiked hair before looking into his eyes. His eyes held a distinct almost sharp blue color to them. They looked sad but at the same time his eyes looked as if he was not shocked over this mix-up. The dark-haired man apologized about having her come all this way. His next comment did, however, piqued Luna's interest. "Lunafreya?..." She slightly lifted her right arm to interject, however, the blonde man and dark-haired man continued their conversation. The blonde man had made a mention of something regarding the other man's fiancee and the fact that she was missing. "M.I.A?..." The dark-haired man thought to himself before mentioning what she had thought to be two of his other friends. Luna looked down slightly and thought about their conversation for a moment before her thoughts were interrupted. The man apologized before introducing himself as Noctis then introduced the blonde man as Prompto. "Noctis..." Luna pointed to Noctis before moving her finger to the other. "Prompto..." Her finger landed on Prompto. Prompto, with a smile on his face, then stated that they were homeless. This definitely threw Luna for a loop. She didn't really know how to respond to something like that. Prompto then asked where she is from. Luna turned her down slightly before curtsying to the two. "A pleasure to meet you two. My name is Luna Kiatespira. I'm from the Kingdom of Solara Lua. Pleased to make your acquaintance." The princess stood back up before smiling at the two. "If I may..." Luna looked at Noctis before continuing. "I believe some light must shed on some of these misunderstandings." She then looked at Prompto before looking back at Noctis. "While my name is Luna..." She paused. "That is only my nickname. Lunafreya, however..." She paused once again before continuing. "Lunafreya is not my name nor do I know anyone else with a name like Lunafreya. It's not a common name and neither is mine. However, our nicknames, on the other hand, that I would think would be a bit more common than our names." Luna placed a hand to her chest. "My full name is Lunala Rosalind Fiametta Kiatespira...I believe that name is far from Lunafreya." She then turned to Prompto. "Your friend, however, was not far off base with me on some facts." The girl giggled a little bit before enlightening the two men. "A reintroduction is in order. My name is Lunala Rosalind Fiametta Kiatespira of the Kingdom of Solara Lua. I am one of two heirs to our nation's throne." She paused before smiling. "In other words, I am my nation's Princess." She bowed a bit as she finished her official introduction. April Attendance: 5/30
Luna walked down the hall, following the compass given to her. She had walked past a small sign that said 'J Quadrant'. "I wonder who made it on board....Everyone should be in one of the couple colonies we set up....It's mildly concerning but oddly refreshing to hear some are on board." Luna stopped for a moment and thought about all the possibilities that might have led to this for her people. She shook her head to erase those thoughts and continued her stroll to the 7th floor. As Luna reached the 7th floor, a small glimpse of brown hair caught the princess' eyes. "About time we found you, Your Highness." A gasp left Luna as surprise took over her body. A brown-haired girl, dressed in a royal knight's garb, smirked at the Princess as she made her comment. She took one step before slowly taking her other step. "I-Illiana??.." The female knight smiled at Luna before opening her mouth. "It's been a couple years...Hasn't it Lulu?" Luna ran toward the girl, tears welling up in her eyes. "Lili!!" The princess wrapped her arms around Illiana, smiling with tears running down her face. Illiana placed a hand on the princess' head as the other held her shoulder. "Never realized how comforting it was to hear that old nickname. Just what are you crying for anyways, Lulu? I thought I trained you better than that." She chuckled as she petted Luna's hair. The two stayed like that for a couple of moments. Luna pulled away and wiped her tears away. The knight patted her head before putting a hand on her hip. "You didn't think I came here alone did ya?" The princess was a bit confused at what she meant but remembered the nurse's words and how she mentioned several people had shown up. Illiana stepped to the side and the sound of footsteps filled the room. Luna opened her eyes to see two more women with a young man standing behind them. "Orella...and....Soliana..." She looked between the two and smiled before bowing slightly. "I'm glad to see you're alright, Princess." Orella smiled back at Luna as she expressed her relief. Soliana smiled then bowed to Luna. "Truly a blessing from the gods to see you once again, Your Highness." Luna bowed her head slightly. "I should saying that. It's not everyday, you get the opportunity to speak with the Phoenix of Apollo." Soliana smiled at the girl. "Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness. I believe you two are long due for a much needed reunion, if I do say so myself. Aren't I correct, Prince Lucien?" Soliana turned her body to face the man standing behind her. The man nodded his head before stepping toward the princess. A white-haired man, dressed in a white suit faced Luna. Her eyes widened once again as tears filled them. She placed both hands over her nose and mouth in shock. "Little under two years....I believe that is grounds for a reunion. Wouldn't you agree, dear sister?" Luna ran into her brother's arms. The two twins smiled as they embraced. "Lucian...I almost can't believe it. However, this is very real." The two pulled away and Lucien wiped his sister's tears away. "You've gotten a lot stronger, Lunala. I almost want to say your hair grew a bit longer but I can't honestly tell, hahaha." He scratched his head as he looked at Luna. "I think you gotten a little taller than me since the last time I saw you." Luna stood on the tips of her toes to reach her brother's head. "Then I guess we've both changed since we last saw one another, haven't we Luna?" Luna giggled before answering. "Indeed we have, Luci." Lucien's expression then turned into a serious one. "As much as I would like to continue this reunion, there are matters that you need to know; in regards to colonies, that is." Luna nodded her head. "There's been a shift in power." Lucien got straight to business as he opened up with this statement. The princess was a bit confused as to what he meant but remained silent as the discussion continued further. Once the discussion had ended, Luna took a deep breath to process everything. "It's hard to believe this....But, I know I can't turn away from this." Lucien put a hand on his sister's shoulder. "I understand. This must all be hard to take in, but we'll get through this." Luna nodded her head as she rested her hand on his. "Thank you Luci. I wish I could do something about this now but...." Illiana then walked up to her. "You have to take care of things here, am I right?" Luna turned her head to her. "Don't worry, Mira and Luan are watching over everything while we're here. They're doing their part, let us do ours. We'll see each other again, after you've finished what you need to do." Luna smiled and nodded her head. She took out the digital compass and opened the map. "Supposedly, Koa should be here. I should go see him before the summit starts." Everyone in the room nodded their head. "I'll meet you near the summit hall when it gets closer to the time." Lucian nodded to his sister as he told her. Luna nodded in response. "Alright. I should get going. We'll meet back up after the summit and discuss plans, moving forward. I'll see you soon." Luna hugged Lucian one more time before waving to the others before leaving the room. She took out her compass once more, making her way to 'V Quadrant'. April Attendance: 4/30
Luna watched as Kel and Beuce walk off with Alexander. Luna nodded her head and waved as the two walked away. Luna turned to the other two as Ananta had a smile that almost creeped out Luna and AJ stood as Beuce and Kel left. Once the three were out of sight, Luna let out a sigh before turning to the other two before crossing her arms. "What in the world was that? You two made us all look a little more suspicious than we needed to be." Luna started to scold AJ and Ananta a bit. "We're lucky that the General took Beuce and Kel to see Karina. I'm used to situations like that since I had my own duties to settle back home. However, this situation, in particular, could've gone a lot better if we kept some questions to ourselves." Luna put a hand on hip while the other rubbed her temple. "It's better not to say much or ask a lot when you deal with something like that. Again, we're lucky he took those two with him." Luna sighed before taking a deep breath. AJ then said to the two that they should start moving and made his way out of the bay. He turned to the princess and started speaking. However, Luna made no movement. He asked for her thoughts on this whole situation. Luna sighed as she scratched her head. After a few moments of silence, Ananta spoke up and gave the two her thoughts. Luna wasn't paying attention to the conversation that much as she was processing the earlier conversation. Ananta then asked AJ and Luna what they should do now. Luna turned to Ananta and spoke. "I'm sorry. I apologize. I wasn't paying attention." The princess rubbed her temple before continuing. "I apologize but I have some other business to attend to. You two are more than welcome to explore this place but I'm afraid I can't join you." Luna bowed her head a sliver. "If you'll excuse me." With that, Luna walked away from the two, pulling out her compass the nurse had given her. April Attendance: 3/20
The group looked over the pamphlet. Luna opened the floor to everyone if they had any concerns or comments. Kel then spoke up, voicing a concern he had. He was worried about splitting up before they knew how Karina was doing. Luna nodded her head as she put her thumb under her chin while her other fingers covered her mouth, pondering about some other options the group could pursue. "Right. I understand that completely. Given past experiences, it would be best if we stick together but-" Before Luna could explain her decision any further, she felt someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to see a man standing behind her. "Are you Princess Luna?" Luna was a bit hesitant to answer, since she didn't think nobody would know about her homeworld. After a few moments, she answered the man's question. "Yes, Yes I am. May I ask who you are?" The man offered his hand to shake with hers. He then introduced himself as General Xares, Karina's father. Luna widened for a quick moment before returning to her normal expression. He had a smile plastered on his face but based on past experiences in Luna's life as a royal, she was unsure if that smile was genuine. She returned the smile back with one of her own. Before she could shake the man's hand, Ananta decided to speak up. She asked the General how he knew Luna's name. She then proceeded to ask if they could lead the group to Karina. Luna put a hand on Ananta's shoulder and turned to her. "Now now, we've only just met the General. We shouldn't ask so many questions when we have only just met." Luna kept her pseudo smile as she spoke to Ananta, hoping Ananta would understand the Princess' hidden message as not to make them look a bit suspicious. Luna turned back to the General and shook his hand. "My apologies, General. It's very nice to meet you." She kept up her smile as she placed her hand back at her side. "May I just say, your daughter is an amazing warrior! I'm sure you're very proud of her." Luna smiled as she complimented Karina to start off their conversation. She put her hands behind her back and lifted her left hand to motioning to the others to wait. April Attendance: 2/30
The nurse spoke to her while using her tablet. She had explained that Alexander Xares would be coming down for the summit soon. Luna nodded her head before the nurse handed her several pamphlets. She looked at the pamphlets as the nurse explained what they entailed. The nurse smiled and told her to enjoy her stay aboard the Sanctuary. Luna thanked her before walking out to the hallway to rejoin the others. "Alright so the nurse handed me these pamphlets so everyone will be getting a pamphlet. There should be a layout of the entire colony, which include the barracks, mess halls, and sleeping quarters." She handed out the pamphlets to the others before speaking again. "I assume we'll have to speak to someone else about our rooms for the night. For now, all the nurse told was that Karina's father's name was Alexander Louis Xares. She said he would be heading down for the summit soon." Luna looked at the clock to see how much time was left until said summit. She looked back at the others. "We have about an hour and a half until the summit. We might have to split into two groups. One group can look for Karina and her father and the other group can look around the Sanctuary and see what you can find." Luna looked back at the pamphlet before looking back at everyone else. Luna thought about how to best split the group up. After pondering for a bit, Luna spoke up. "So this is how we're going to do this. AJ, Ananta, and Kel, you guys will be exploring the Sanctuary. I will be putting Kel will be in charge of your group." Luna looked at the three before continuing. "Beuce and I will see if we can find Karina's father. Let's make sure we're not standing out as much as we can. We don't want to cause any trouble not only for us, but for other people that might be on board. Any questions? Comments? Concerns?" Luna looked at everyone to see if anyone was confused or if they had a problem with her plan. April Attendance: 1/30
Luna looked over at the nurse as she had given them clearance to leave the medical bay. She bowed her head in thanks before turning to the others. At some point, Ananta had woken up and joined the group. Ananta gave her thoughts on their situation. Luna looked at everyone and decided to take charge of all this. "Alright. Here's what we're going to do. We have 15 minutes to grab our stuff and leave. We will take our stuff, you guys wait out in the hallway, and I will ask the nurse as much as I can. What we're not going to do is stand around here and wait until something happens. We will continue everything as I explained and if anyone else has any other ideas or disagrees with anything, we will discuss this calmly and in an organized manner. Am I clear?" Luna looked at everyone as she explained their next actions. She went back inside the bay and grabbed her belongings. Once Luna was settled, she walked over to the nurse to see if there was any information she could get out of the nurse. She tapped on the nurse's shoulder and began to ask. "I'm so sorry to bother you again. Do you happen to know Ms. Xares' father's name? I would like to speak with him and Karina if, at all, possible." She placed her hands in front of her and held her right hand in front of her left. She paused for a moment before speaking again. "I also have a few questions if you can answer them. I do hate to be a bother but we're unfamiliar with our new surroundings." Luna looked around her as she spoke before turning back to the nurse. "Are there quarters that we can use so that we may rest? Are there any rules or laws that we should know about? We would prefer not to break any rules that we are not aware of." Luna bowed her head once again. "I do apologize for all these questions." She stood back up to wait for the nurse's answers.
Luna went over to Beuce as his voice rose at the nurse. "Beuce!" She could tell he was upset and it definitely showed in his tone of voice. Beuce pushed past the nurse and left the room. Kel followed after Beuce. Luna followed after them and went over to Beuce. She put a hand on Beuce's arm as he was taking a deep breath. "We won't be able to help anyone unless you calm down. I know what the nurse said was a little uncalled for but raising your voice won't help the situation either." She paused, however, before she could continue, AJ walked over to the three. He had apparently woke up. AJ was a bit concerned as to why the three just gave the nurse their names. Luna spoke up. "You may think that way but I don't think it matters at this point. I refuse to disregard who I am and where I come from. There's no point in falsifying who we are or where we come from." Luna turned to AJ as she explained her own reasoning. "I understand your concern but I don't think it'll help if we lie about who we are. It's better to just get that out in the open than to lie and potentially endanger people in the long run. Does that make any sense?" AJ had then blamed himself for what happened earlier. "It's not your fault. Nobody is at fault and we shouldn't blame ourselves. It was more of an ambush. Nobody could've predicted what would happen. Even if we had our guard up, nobody could've known." She looked at Beuce, Kel, and AJ as she spoke. Luna put a finger under her chin as Kel mentioned the compass. "If visiting hours are between 5 and 6pm, we won't be able to see or help Stratos in the holding cells or anyone else that might be down there. It's best if we wait until visiting hours are in effect." She looked at Beuce. "I know you want to help Stratos but if we break whatever rules they have here, we'll only be hindering ourselves and we won't be able to help anyone. We need to keep a level-head and think through our next course of actions for now." Luna smiled, hoping she could at least ease the tension that was slightly in the air. The princess went over all the information the nurse had given them. "Our first order of business should be finding Karina. If she's in her father's custody, then we should start with finding her since she's not in the holding cells. Though Ananta hasn't woken up yet so we should probably have someone wait for her to wake up." Luna paused as she continued planning out everything. "The summit is in about an hour and a half, so that should give us a bit of time to find Karina, talk to the people from our homeworlds, and get to the summit in time." Luna looked at Beuce. "We need to find where her father is. Wherever her father is, we'll be able to find Karina." Luna looked at Kel and AJ next. "While we're asking about Karina's father, we can ask about everybody else's whereabouts. We'll kill two birds with one stone." She looked at everybody as she gave her suggestions. "I'm open to any other suggestions. I apologize if I just if I took over the reins if someone else had their own plan." She didn't mean to just plan everything out if someone else had another idea on how to go about things. She wanted to open it up to the other guys and hear their thoughts.
Luna nodded her head as the nurse gave her the time. The nurse looked through her clipboard and found her name. Apparently, several of her people had made their way on board. This had surprised Luna just a bit. "That's odd.....I would've thought they would be in one of the few colonies His Majesty set up a few years back. It's definitely a pleasant surprise though!" Luna smiled as the nurse gave her a compass. She then asked if she was referred to as 'Luna' as well. She nodded her head and the nurse then proceeded to tell her another piece of news. It turns out Koa was on board as well. Luna's eyes widened a bit. "Koa's here?!" Luna smiled as she held her necklace. The nurse programmed the locations to her compass as well as the location for the summit. The nurse had also informed her that the compass would be able to give her access to the summit since she was a political figure. Luna nodded her head as she listened to the nurse. Luna bowed her head to the nurse. "Thank you for your help! It is very much appreciated!" Luna rose up before looking to Kel and Beuce. "What do we do now? Should we go our separate ways? Should we wait for Ananta and AJ to wake up?" Luna wanted to see who had gotten on board but she also wanted to see Koa. However, she didn't want to go off on her own without having some sort of plan. "That summit seems very interesting to me. If His Majesty were here, I know he would definitely want me to attend that summit. However, I want to check on my people and I need to see Koa. I'm not sure what the plan from here is." She looked at Beuce and Kel before looking at the compass in her hand.
Luna looked over to see Kel had just woken up. "Kel! Glad to see you're alright." Beuce then went over to the nurse nearby. His line of questioning was a bit stern. She went over to the two, along with Kel. "At least his questioning is straight to the point..." She laughed a bit awkwardly. The nurse happily answered Beuce's questions. They were apparently aboard some vessel named 'The Sanctuary'. She then asked for their name and homeworld. She looked at Beuce and Kel before they each answered. Beuce took this opportunity to ask about some of the others. Karina was in the custody of her father. Something about that had given Luna a bad feeling. She was definitely a bit worried. The nurse had then stated that Stratos was currently being detained. That definitely shocked Luna. "Oh dear..." The nurse had then informed them about a council summit that was to be held at 3:30pm. This definitely intrigued Luna but on the other hand it had concerned her. Just who is this council? Slighly curious, Luna spoke up to the nurse. Perhaps, someone from her kingdom was aboard this vessel. She wouldn't be able to get her answer unless she asked. "I beg your pardon...My name is Lunala Rosalind Fiametta Kiatespira, princess and heir, of the Kingdom of Solara Lua." She stated her name as well as her homeworld. "Has anyone come aboard here from that kingdom? If not..." She paused. "Where would the summit be held? By the way, you wouldn't happen to know the time currently, would you?"

Luna bowed her head toward Zeus and Hercules before walking with the others. As the group made their way down the mountain, Aux spoke out before passing out. "Aux?" Luna looked to see a dart coming out from his neck. "Oh no...." Before she could say anything else, Ananta and Faust were the next to pass out. "An ambush?!" Karina and Beuce passed out soon after followed by AJ and Kel. "No!!" She turned towards Castur and Stratos. "Where are they coming from?!" Castur and Stratos were then hit with the dart. Luna turned toward them and made her way before she felt the dart puncture her neck. She reached her hand toward the dart as she fell down. "N-n-no..." Her hand went limp and Luna had passed out. Luna felt something shaking her after what felt like awhile. Her eyes fluttered open and saw her surroundings had changed. It had seemed that she was in a hospital. She looked at what had took ahold of her shoulder and saw a glass hand. Luna looked up and saw Beuce. "B-Beuce? What's going on?" She slowly sat up and noticed the IVs that were in her arm. She grabbed her head. "I think I'm okay. Are you alright?" Luna carefully took the IV out of her arm with ease. "The last thing I remember was we were walking down the mountain and then Aux had collapsed. Right after that, everyone else started collapsing one-by-one." Luna grabbed her head as she tried to recall any other detail. "Oh!" She had then recalled. "Darts! I remember seeing a dart coming out of Aux's neck. I believe we were ambushed. The darts must've had some sort of sleeping agent in them." Luna dropped her hand down to her lap. Just who in the world attacked them? And for what purpose? There were quite a few questions roaming in her mind. Luna looked around in a slight panic. "What happened to the others? Are they alright??" Luna looked over to then see Kel, Ananta, and AJ right by them. Luna sighed in relief. "At least we know they're safe." She looked over to Beuce before looking back at the three. "We should probably try and wake up the others. However, I want to figure out just where we are and where the others might be. I hope they're alright." Luna slowly stood up as she looked at Beuce to see what he would like to do.
