Neo Gear

(Bonus): A New Moon

"My dear Lunas..."

"I don't deserve you..."

"Forgive me for being selfish even with what I already have."

"Please... Lend me your power once again."

Lunas awoke from his slumber.

Lunas: My lady... I would have given anything to fix your broken heart.

Lunas: Anything to get back at the world that took away your hope...

Exiting his Gear body, Lunas looked around the hangar where a few of his uncles lay in their slumber.

Lunas:... When did Stegael come here?

Lunas:(sigh)

(snap)

The hanger began heating up to melt the frost he left in his sleep.

Getting his tools, Lunas arrives back into the hangar to see the drones drying the floors.

He himself then began inspecting his uncles. Making sure they were all peaceful.

Aiba:(recording) Lunas, how are you-

Lunas: Skip.

Aiba:(recording) It's been a hundred-

Lunas: Skip.

Aiba:(recordings) Two hundred-

Lunas: Skip.

Aiba:(recording) I know you are skipping these. Please... My precious moon boy... I miss you... I need-

Lunas:... Delete all.

(BEEP)

Lunas:...

When everything was nice and clean. Lunas shut his eye. To him, what felt like a blink was in reality a massive amount of time.

Opening his eyes, Lunas found all his uncles and aunt in an endless dream.

Lunas:... Unbelievable...(sigh)...

He begins to perform another check-up until the doors open revealing Azrexel.

Lunas: Father?

Lunas: Tch. I'm not interested in talking...

Azrexel: Neither am I.

Lunas: Huh? Then why are you here?

Azrexel walks up to one of the units that would put him into an endless dream.

Lunas:?

Lunas: Father, wh-what are you doing?

Azrexel: Joining my siblings.

Lunas:!?!

Entering his Gear, Lunas rushes up to Azrexel.

Lunas: What do you mean?! You can't do that!

Azrexel: I should have been the first.

Lunas: What are you talking about?! Stop messing around! This stunt won't change my decision!

Azrexel: This isn't about you. It's about not wanting forever.

Lunas:?

Azrexel: My memory has reached an end. And I've made up my mind on the Theseus answer.

Lunas: Father, you can't...

Azrexel: I rather this than your mother deleting the "useless" memories.

Lunas: Father... Please, I-I'll leave, just don't-

(BAM)

Azrexel punches Lunas onto the floor away from him.

Azrexel: Until you are ready to leave. Please watch over us. Don't let anyone, not even your mother mess with our slumber.

Lunas: Father!

Azrexel: I know your pain, Lunas... And let me tell you, it was you and Solas who helped me get over it.

Azrexel: Thank you. Goodnight, son.

Entering his endless dream, Lunas simply stares in shock and sorrow.

Lunas: F-Father... I'm... G-goodnight...

More time passes in a blink of an eye.

Lunas, surrounded by frost, stares at his reflection.

"So this is the body you made for yourself?"

"I-Is it not to your liking...?"

"I can see the inspiration."

"I-I couldn't help it..."

"It's great... It'll make sense when you walk me down the aisle."

"Huh!?"

"I know, the tradition is outdated, however, my Mother always wanted me to-"

"My lady, you want me to-"

"You'll experience your first slap if your shock doesn't fade soon."

Lunas:(chuckkes)...

"M-My l-lady... May I have this dance...?"

"Quite daring of you to ask the bride to dance with you in front of her husband. I respect that."

"Come on, let's go."

"What type of dance do you want-"

"Anything but slow dancing. You saw the foot trauma we went through"

"Play something-"

Lunas: "That we'll always remember"...

Speaker: Playing.

On the frozen ice, Lunas danced the same way he did so many years ago, just the same as he did in front of his family.

"Hahaha! Where did you learn to dance?"

Lunas:(smiles)

"Someone give me more alcohol! I must be intoxicated to show him how to truly dance!"

Lunas:(chuckles)

"Everyone! Come on, let's dance! You to hubby!"

Lunas:(moon walks)

"I love you, my moon knight. You are my family."

Lunas:(smiles)

With a smile about to break into tears, Lunas slides into Azrexel.

Lunas:... I think I'm going to grow up Father... I won't leave you... But I will take the next step.

Lunas: Goodnight Luna...
