Some incredible Fanart of Luna by my friend! ⬆️😆

Shadow Moon hurried through the forest on their mission to find the traitor...

"So much for waiting up for me!" Yurio panted, finally catching up to everyone.

"Time waits for no one," Echo returned, her voice steady, her eyes scanning the trees for any signs of abnormality.

"Hey, Yurio!" Luna beamed.

"Hey," he panted, adapting to a walking speed.

"What did you have to do??" Luna asked curiously.

"Looking for the exit to the friend zone, probably!! Hahah!!" Galaxy called from the front of the group.

"Shut. up!!" Yurio growled behind gritted teeth. 

"What exit??" Luna questioned cluelessly as Jay popped his head out of a bush in the background...

"Uh. No, never mind, there is no exit," Yurio tried guiding Luna out of this conversation.

"Got that right!!" Galaxy still contributed to their one-to-one conversation.

"SHUT UP!!" Yurio repeated in a yell of frustration.

"Ugh. Anyway. I figured this would be a dangerous encounter... so I thought it would be a good time to use that strength potion I got at Oakville," Yurio explained as Ray peeked down from a tree in the background.........

"Oh yeah, you haven't used it yet! Good idea! I think we'll need a lot of strength for what we're about to go through..." Luna replied, fiddling with her hands nervously. 

"You really think the best time to test your little potion is when we're about to confront someone tryna kill us?! Don't ya think it would have been safer to test it in training before this? You don't know what kind of side effects it has or how long it will even take to work!" Echo argued with worry.

"It's expensive!! And it shouldn't have any side effects as long as I take just one. It should work within a few hours so--" Yurio was interrupted. 

"SO IT MIGHT NOT EVEN TAKE EFFECT UNTIL THIS WHOLE THING IS OVER!!! Why the heck didn't you take it sooner?!" Echo yelled furiously. 

"Well, I didn't know we were going to confront Eclipse until ten minutes ago!" Yurio argued.

"Guys, there's really no need to fight!" Luna tried to calm them down.

"Shhh, don't stop them now! It's just getting entertaining!" Galaxy grinned mischievously as Ray fell into a bush, causing a yelp from Jay.

Nobody noticed.

"Now we're all together, we should teleport close to Cold Stone. It will take us hours otherwise," Echo mentioned.

"Oh, wow, Echo, what great insight! Not like I suggested the exact same thing only to be brutally rejected!!" Galaxy saltily pointed out.

"You suggested we teleport right in front of the girl trying to kill us!! I wouldn't exactly call that great insight!!" Echo argued, steam boiling from her body.

"Well, I'll have you know, my seal makes it so I can track Eclipse anyway! We coulda used that to find her," Galaxy brought up.

"WAIT WHAT?!!" Echo raged, body snapping around to Galaxy.

"That's right. The magic connecting us becomes stronger when we're closer. Even now, I feel the bond strengthening with every step we take," Galaxy elaborated, tone surprisingly solemn. 

"And you didn't tell us this WHY?!!" Echo fumed for the 3rd time today.

"You were too busy rejecting my ideas. I assume you weren't looking for contributions," Galaxy sulked.
