Fallen Moon Season 2

Episode 10: Greetings

Lexus clenched her fists then relaxed, "Doesn't matter, I can take you down without it," she said.

Ryuga smirked, "How about, before you get reckless... we make a wager?"

Lexus cocked her head and raised an eyebrow, "Talk while I still have interest."

"If we end up successful in this fight... you'll help us in order for us to spare your life, while if you are victorious, both of our lives are in your hands," Ryuga said.

"Hey! I never agreed to that!" Lyn blurted, bur Ryuga ignored it.

Lexus wet her lips as a devious smile crept onto her face, "Sure, I'll accept your offer.... Let's make this interesting shall we?"

"Good," Ryuga said as he took on a battle stance, leaving Lexus to do the same. They fiercely stared at each other with grim smirks on their faces, then they both pushed off.

"So you joined this 'council' because of the pay?" Stell asked.

"Of course, what other reason would I try to hurt two gorgeous ladies like you?" Luther asked, making Stell blush.

Ameria rolled her eyes, "She might be falling for your little trap but you're not fooling me," she held out her left hand as a blue flame formed around it.

Before she could do anything, Stell pushed her hand down and said, "He dropped his weapon, he might actually be a nice guy, so instead of rushing for the kill, why don't you just pretend to be nice and hear him out for once!"

"Well that's kind of hard considering that he was just our enemy a few minutes ago," Ameria stated.

Luther let off a soft chuckle, "Don't worry, I vow to no longer pursue you... Well that's if you don't get yourself into more trouble."

"That won't be much of a problem... Right Ameria?" Stell asked while looking at Ameria through the corner of her eye.

Ameria shrugged and mumbled, "It's like you keep forgetting who's the older one," she rolled her eyes, "Fine, continue your conversation, just leave me out of it."

The wind gently blew, allowing the hair of both Lexus and Ryuga to gently sway in the wind.

Lexus chuckled as she lift her left leg, ready to make her move, but to her surprise Ryuga was already behind her, leaving her vulnerable as he kneed her in the back.

In order to prevent herself from falling, she cartwheeled in order to land steadily on her feet. Ryuga was already close enough to land a blow in her gut as soon as she landed, but instead of giving in to the pain, she pulled on Ryuga's hand and threw him into the nearest building.

Ryuga got up, flinching because of the new wound on his left shoulder. Speedily bursting through the building, Lexus leaped at the injured Ryuga.

She held him tightly around his neck and pinned him onto the ground. 

"Why don't you just admit defeat already?" Lexus asked.

He smirked at her, not saying a word. 

Due to his teasing, she tightened her grip, "What's wrong with you!?! Just lose already!"

"What's wrong with me? I was about to ask you the same thing, because to me, you're strangling air," said a all too familiar voice from behind her.

She turned her head, seeing Ryuga stand at the entrance she made. She turned back to view the 'Ryuga' she was strangling before but there was no one.

"Who? What are you?" She asked shakily. 

Ryuga licked his lips in a soft and subtle reply, "Who? Me? No I'm nothing more than just your average God," he said with a smirk on his face as his eyes glinted with red.

"What got into him?" Yukinae asked.

"I don't know.. he just came out of nowhere and started attacking me," Sebastian replied.

"Yukinae, may I assess the situation?" Celest asked inside Yukinae's mind.

"Sure," she replied.

Yukinae's eyes glowed a bright purple as Celest analyzed Reinhard.

"As I thought," Celest said.

"What thought? You have so much of them it's hard to keep up," Yukinae replied.

Celest rolled her eyes.. well.. rolled Yukinae's eyes and said, "It's the user of the red amulet... If you don't mind Yukinae, I'll take over from here," Soon after, Yukinae's body went completely under Celest's control. 

Reinhard struggled to get up, ignoring his injury. His nails grew as his eyes shone a brighter red, "No one hurts me and gets away with it," he growled.

He launched at Celest but failed, due to the fact that she froze him in mid-air.

"Wha... What's going on?" Sebastian asked, while looking at Yukinae, in shock.

Celest looked at him through the corner of her eye, "Calm down boy, I'm helping you."

Sebastian then forced himself calm and allowed Celest to do what she needed to do.

She spoke a few words in ancient tongue, which made Reinhard's eyes shine a bright white, before reverting to normal, making him fall on the ground unconscious.

"How did you..." before Sebastian could ask his question, a nerve ripping pain shot through his head. He began seeing several images at once, each seeming as if they were all memories that were once forgotten, but the problem was that it was not his own memories he saw, it was Ryuga's.

When the images faded away, he was embraced in Yukinae's arms as tears fell down her face, "Are... you okay?" she asked.

He blinked a few times for reassurance then calmly said, "Yeah.. I'm fine."
