Into The Woods

Ch5: Found

                                                Luna's POV:

I was sitting down at a picnic table, out in the open for every human and alien alike to see.

As I was sitting in the moonlit grassy area, I looked up at the moon and sighed.

I felt really guilty for sneaking out while my parents were in the bed asleep but, I had to because on the light side of the moon, I saw two humans in astronaut suits and they were collecting moon rock samples and placing bags of their waste down.

I was for certain that one of them looked at me so, I teleported here to this very nice campground.

I have to admit... Being on Earth is not so bad.

She has breathable oxygen, tall trees, water, a view of the moon and weather.

I smiled and just as I was about to lay down, I then heard the sound of an approaching flying saucer.

I instantly got up and just as I was standing there, a red light began to surround me.

"Luna, this is your best friend from The Zula Patrol! Stay right where you are with your hands up!!!" The sound of Astranova's voice echoed through a megaphone.

I didn't know what to do and my legs were now beginning to run up and down in place.

I decided to go against their instructions and I then ran away from them.

I could've just floated away but due to Earth's gravitational pull and the moon being a supermoon tonight, I couldn't use my levitation powers.

As I was running, I could hear the ship.

"Luna, please don't be afraid. We're here to help you!!!" Astranova's voice echoed as I was trying to find a new place to hide.

I then saw a playground so, I quickly ran over to it, climbed onto it and began to hide near the open slide.

As I was hiding, I heard the ship approaching and the red light alongside with it.

I felt the little tick biting me as it was gripping onto my skin.

It hurts.

I silently started whimpering but, I couldn't hold it in for long when I felt another one biting on my side.

I cried out in pain.

As the ship was now hovering, I saw Astranova appear from teleportation.

*Lucky...* I said to myself, a little bit jealous that I couldn't use my powers tonight.

"There you are, Luna! Me and Zeeter have been looking all over for you!" Astranova said as she was now helping me up.

I listened to Astranova ranting but when she just mentioned that it was her and Zeeter, I was concerned.

"What's wrong, Luna?" Astranova asked as my eyes met hers.

"Wh... Where's the rest of the team? What happened to you and Bula?! Are you two still together?!" I asked, with a panicky and frantic voice.

Astranova then placed her arm around me as we were now walking towards the playground bridge.

"Relax, Luna. The rest of the team is at home and nothing has happened to me and Bula. Also, him and I are still together." She said, in a reassuring tone as we approached the pick up point.

Luna then looked around.

"Why are you two not going to stay on Earth with me and help me with these sticky pests that are on my skin and burying?" I asked, concerned and worried.

Astranova's antennas were twitching from side to side.

"I can sense that a villain that we know is here and we need to go... Now!!! We can take care of your problem when we get back to Zula. Zeeter...?" She said as she was beginning to feel really tired.

"Yes, Captain?" The lavender alien pilot responded immediately.

"Activate pick up procedure." Astranova said, while holding onto me.

"Yes, Captain!" The lavender alien pilot responded as she now pressed a button and a huge extender with a gloved hand on it.

Astranova then looked at me.

"Hold on!" She said as the gloved hand grabbed us and was now putting us into the ship.

When Astranova and I got in and buckled up, the lavender alien looked at me.

"Hold on, Luna! We're going for a wild ride." She said as we were now taking off and into the night sky.

.........................................................................................

After we left, there was a red camper and out came Deliria Delight, a villain who wears a ladybug like cape and has a robot for an assistant.

"Madam, they're getting away!" Cloid said as Deliria was sitting in her favorite red reclining chair in the living room.

Deliria now had a mischievous look on her face.

"I know, Cloid but don't worry... They'll get what's coming to them. Come on. We've got mosquito bombs to make..." She said as she now got up and walked over to the set of stairs that led down into the lab.

Cloid nodded his head yes, hesitantly.

"Y... Yes, Madam..." He said as he now began to follow her.
