"Earth, why'd you disappear like-" Luna paused, taking in the other Celestials beside his parent, "that...? What's going on here?"

"Luna! Perfect timing, can you grab some of those asteroids?" Earth held his adamantine harpe above him, gathering as many rocks as he could.

"Uh, sure? But Earth, you shouldn't be this far from your orbit for too long." Luna frowned, heaving some asteroids close to him. He grunted, feeling his gravity weighing him down.

"I know," Earth steadied the moon, latching the smaller one onto his much stronger gravity, "But I can't just sit around and do nothing, I have to help the others!"

"Just be careful..." Luna uttered, pulling out his silver spear with a crescent moon at the point.

"Be ready to fire." Nine spoke, raising his hand into a fist to anchor the asteroids.

Uranus nodded, snapped his fingers, and spiked the debris with icicles. Within seconds, the ice encased the asteroids, and frost glistened off their surfaces.

Earth stepped out from the asteroid belt, dragging Luna along, "Now to figure out a way to get Neptune over here..."

"Earth, don't you think this is a little... risky?" Luna questioned, knitting his eyebrows as he stared at the other anxiously.

The lively Celestial took a moment to think about it before shaking his head, "Risk is my middle name! Trust me, Luna, I'm sure nothing will go wrong!"

"We don't have middle names... or last names." Luna droned.

"That's beside the point." Earth waved his hand, eyes darting to the blue Celestial across the zone, "Any second now..."

Luna watched with bated breath as Neptune neared them, his attention on Saturn and Jupiter.

Earth raised his harpe, "Hey, Poseidon! Over here!"

The Terrestrial Celestials gaped at the lively one, Mars yelling, "Earth, no!"

Poseidon whipped his head toward Earth with a scowl, "You... you should've been dead a long time ago..."

'Huh-?' Luna blinked, noticing something flash in Poseidon's gaze.

"Hah, it'll take more than a couple of asteroids to get rid of my life!" Earth grinned, twirling his harpe before striking down, "Now!"

Fwoosh!

Earth felt the asteroids sweep past him, holding Luna close as he ducked his head.

"What the-!?"

Bang! Boom! Boom!

Despite his attempts to dodge, it was futile as dozens of rocks merged with his surface, the icy crystals pricking deep into him.

"Interesting..." Nine uttered when he stepped out from the asteroid belt, his eyebrows furrowing, "When we were younger, you were always the better dodger- you could even do it with your eyes closed..."

"You okay, mate?" Uranus spoke to Earth and Luna as they inspected each other for injuries.

"Oh, yeah, we're good." Earth nodded, smiling up at the Ice Giant.

"Good, good..." Uranus averted his gaze, face flushing pink the more the smaller one stared. Luna glared upon noticing it, "You should, uhm... get out of the line of fire. I don't want you to get hurt... or worse."
