The moon was disturbingly beautiful, it was in pieces and broken buildings were made out of it. Stella looked around, searching for a clear path to the general. Not too far from her, lilio and Shiori appeared. They looked around in confusion. "She made it worse than what it was before." Lilio mumbled to Shiori. "You guys are okay." She smiled.

"Lilio, you worthless traitor!" A mans voice yelled out. The ground started to tremor as a man in levitating metal armor, it hit the ground. Stella pushed the two behind her and drew out her canon.

"Zaha..." Lilio growled and drew out his gun.

The way they needed to go was blocked by a gate of light and Zaha.

Stella's eyes widened. She stopped and looked up. "Don't you see? Don't you see?" A sweet voice ran through her mind. "He's a broken man, just like everyone else you have beaten!" It continued.

The world around her turned black and there before her stood a girl. This girl was not much shorter than Stella and had short hair, her eyes were a burning blue. "You gotta set him free!" The girl exclaimed.

"Who... who are you?" She asked.

The girls face went pale. "I don't know who I am, I go by many different names though. 'Shooting Star', 'Stella', 'Insanity', 'Beast.'" She said.

Her surroundings came back into place, She had put her sword through Zaha and killed him. His human self, much like the others, was beaten up. He thank them for freeing him and then he went off into a bright light. "You were in a trance!" Shiori said, out of breath. "But yet you still fought."

Stella looked over at him. "I don't remember... anything." Stella responded. "Do- do you remember us two?"

"I don't remember anything when I black out."

Shiori sighed with relief. "You need to learn how to word things better, you almost gave me a heart attack."

Stella stared at him like she just met him. "What's my name Stella?" Shiori asked. She stared at him, trying to remember. "What's my name?" He asked again. "I don't know..." she responded.

"....what?" His voice went to a whisper. "I don't know... "

He choked back tears as he walked up to her. "What's your name?" He asked her.

Stella didn't respond with her name.

"Shooting Star, Insanity, Beast, Stella..." she recited the words that repeated in her head. "Your name is Stella, that's how it always has been. Stella.. please. I-I--- you promised. You promised you wouldn't forget." He said. "Forget?"
"You wouldn't forget me..." Shioris voice wavered. He had a bitter smile as he shook his head and laughed a little. "This was inevitable." His laugh was bitter, his eyes were bitter.

Stella blinked a couple of times before squinting at him. "Why are you so bitter sounding, Shiori?" She asked.

She was back to her old self again which made Shiori happy. Though he couldn't express happiness, not at a time like this. Though he led her by her shoulder to turn around and face the direction they were supposed to go.

The gate of light slowly started disappearing, black and blue chains shot out of the broken moon pieces and connected the others, the moon was coming back together. They ran as quickly as they could towards the opening. "If we destroy the general, your planet will be free." Lilio said.
