One Punch Moon

Chapter 4 - The Ultimate... Master...?

A few days later, Serena, Luna, and Amy decided to visit Raye, little did they know what was coming for them.

Grandpa Hino: Ah! Are you looking for Raye? She's in her room down the hall and to the left. You'll be in for a real surprise.

Serena: Oh, uh... sure. Let's go, Amy.

Amy: Right!

*Knock knock*

Serena: Uh... Raye... you in there?

Raye: Ah! Yes! Come in, we have much to discuss, Master.

Amy: W-what?

Serena and Luna look at each other with a deadpanned look.

Serena/Luna: Master...?

Raye then offers them to sit down and drink tea.

Serena: *sips* I'm not looking for disciples, so no... Wait, you've fully healed up already?

Amy: Wow! How is that possible?

Raye: The herbs my Grandpa uses are very helpful in situations where I'm injured. As long as he has herbs, healings are quick.

Luna: I've never seen anything like it...

Serena: You're an odd one...

Raye: What type of herbs do you use, Master?

Serena: Eh? Don't use any.

Raye: Then what about your hair?

Serena: Uhh... Shampoo and conditioner...? What about it...  It's all natural...

Raye: But that would mean your meatballs for hair don't factor into your strength...

Serena: SO WHAT IF THEY'RE SHAPED LIKE MEATBALLS HUH WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? she yells while Amy and Luna quietly laugh.

Raye: Me? You'll listen to my problems?

Serena: No thanks... I'm good...

Raye: Actually, three years ago, when I was eleven, I was just a normal Shinto Priestess.

Serena: Did you hear what I just said?

Raye: We were still poor and had to pinch pennies, but we were still able to get by thanks to our services. My father... He is a powerful politician who left our family in order to focus on his career and only meets with me on my birthdays... My mother passed away because of her illness and he never bothered to visit her... The only family I had left was Grandpa Hino. We lived a peaceful and happy life together, until that fateful day, when a crazy monster went out of control, a large, tall, thin humanoid creature attacked our town. We never knew why it happened, most likely a failed body modification, which generated an irregularity in his brain. He destroyed everything in sight, Parks, schools, buildings, my temple, he almost took the lives of my only family that I have left. Miraculously, I survived, but being only a weak 11-year-old, I was alone and at the end of my strength, in a ruined town. That's when Grandpa Hino managed to save me, even at his worst. Even though he's not a doctor, he managed to fix me up and cater to my wounds. He was on a mission to stop the rampaging monster and end his oppression. At first, I was thinking of asking him to help give me body modification surgery to make me better, stronger, and faster. Until one day, another monster appeared. I didn't know what to do, I was scared, frightened, and feared that my life might be over and the new monster would also ravage everything in its sight, just like before. But suddenly, something inside me awakened. This pen appeared in front of my eyes, and somehow, I already knew what to do with it. That's how I discovered that I am a reincarnation of a past warrior. A strong warrior, born to defend the princess of the Moon. I never revealed it to Grandpa Hino, but I promised him I would terminate the evil monster and return peace to this world.
