Cannon: My Best Friend the Moon

Maybel's POV

     I heave a sigh of relief as soon as we reach the moon room. I hug myself trying to steel my resolve to tell Darnic the truth. Everyone worked so hard to gather all these stones from all over this dreadful dungeon's world, and yet I can't really focus on what's happening.

     I know he needs to know the truth, and I know I can't wait any longer than I already have. I'm so caught up in my thoughts that I miss what Aylin's new power up does.

     I need to focus, I need to be present for my best friend's successful power up for her dragon item. I push all thoughts of telling Darnic the truth and watch on as she places the last stone on the wall.

     Only, things go differently this time. Instead of her crossbow changing We watch on as she lifts off the ground.

     I'm so happy for her, we all worked really hard to get all these moon stones in place, we faced unbeatable odds and came out on top despite starting with nothing here. A smile forms on my face as I watch her body start to change from the light blue it was to a stunning black. Her hair losing its color also.

     I smile as if watching my own child grow and hit a milestone, until the moons come out of the wall and a familiar manta ray appears above her head.

     I watch on with wide eyes as I vaguely hear Darnic yell out a Demon Lord's name.

     "I DON'T KNOW?! IS THAT BAD?!" I yell back. I don't really know what's happening. I don't see how bad this could really be. This isn't that far off from literally everything else my party and I have been through together.

     My heart immediately picks up its pace as I look from Aylin to Darnic.

     "We need to kill her!" I hear him yell as he runs over to her as he morphs into a giant.

     I don't want to hurt her, she's my best friend. She would never hurt us intentionally. Not that badly at least.

     My heart beating in my ears nearly drowns out the desperate words of Nathan saying something about exorsising her.

     Exorcise?

     Exorcise what? Was this not supposed to happen? Are we supposed to take her down? I don't want to kill her! She's my best friend! She would never.

     All at once the moons she's in control of Shoot in every direction as they hit everyone present. It hurt, but not as much as it could have. I'm not ready for this, I don't want to hurt her. I don't want to die here either. I NEED tell Darnic about our baby, I NEED to survive this.

     My hands instinctively move to protect my stomach as I watch Darnic let out a barrage of attacks on Aylin and shortly after Eldin starts launching his own attacks.

     "Don't do anything and I'll spare you and your child, but if you help, I will tell Darnic and focus you." I hear a familiar voice in my head.

     Instantly the blood drains from my face as I back away from her.

     She wouldn't, I know she wouldn't. Why is she making these horrible jokes at a time like this? She's really hurting us.

     The thunder in my ear speeds up more as I watch Eldin continue his attacks on Aylin.

     She's serious. She's going to kill us. What's happening? Why is this happening?!

     "I won't do anything on the condition that you spare my little brother and Darnic." I respond to her using our mind link.
