Moss agate rushed into the field where some other gems have gathered, there a Lunararian stand, but it was a rare type. Moss only stood there sword in hand frozen as it was able to block off Bort’s attacks, it was strong but it seems like it’s holding back. Moss was snapped out of his trance after another gem pointed out they spotted a ‘Phos-y’ thing. He tilted in seeing the gem’s body picked up by the lunarians. Before panic fully sink in Sensei finally stepped in as the Lunarians disappeared into smoke as they dropped the gem. Moss took a closer look at them, Lapis head, golden alloy arms, promptly agate legs a pearl sword and an odd outfit, but it was rather nice looking Moss noted but who are they to judge, they don’t know fashion as good as Red Beryl. The only thing that caught Moss of guard is his Pearl eye.

This was indeed Phos. He told stories of the moon or well ‘what he remembered’. Moss doubted he forgotten everything. After seeing Phos return, Moss was honestly distraught upon hearing Phos’ return, he didn’t find it fair. ‘Why him… why doesn’t the other gems return..’ ‘like.. Labradorite’. Moss paused remembering the final promise and words that his former partner told him before shattering. “meet me at the moon”. The Agate took a deep breath and took a stroll to find Phos about to head outside. He doesn't seem like he’s staying for long. Moss tapped the other gem’s shoulder as they turned to him. “oh! Hey Mo-” “i have a special request for you phos” “huh!?” “take me to the moon.” Phos silent went completely blank for a second before Moss continued “i know you're returning but… please take me to the moon to you i just” ‘meet me at the moon’ “have to.” The younger gem only nodded still silent at the sudden request before he stared at Moss seeing the sorrow, distant and pleading in his eyes. “alright.” “One more thing, please dont tell Firo i’m coming with you… he needs to stay”. Phos only nodded before walking away from Moss. All Moss can do is sigh.

Moss Agate stared at the other gems that stood beside him as they to also wanted to go to the moon. “Everyone, You can turn back now if you want.” silence “Except for you Cairngorm” “Eh!?”. Moss couldn't help but chuckle at the little banter the two have before the others interrupted that they are fine with going, he could only mumble “I asked to go”.

“-Can i see outside?” Diamond asked the Lunarian;Cicada. It moved towards the pillar and pats it gently as suddenly there was a soft light coming out from the darkness. Some gems gathered by the opening, so did Moss. Moss could see the firey red reflected by the moonlight gather with the rest of the gems who have stayed behind and felt rather guilty. “I-Im sorry Firo… its for your own good” he choked out quietly before turning away not wanting to see more. The gems need Firo especially how they're gonna react after their sudden disappearance.

“That was fast.” fast it was. Suddenly the darkness opened up once more to a sudden blast of light at the gems reached the moon. It was rather pretty. ‘I only hoped that he was able to see it… but maybe he did’ Moss thought to himself looking around the new environment… it was so sparkly. “Hello again.” greeted a lunarian standing in front of the others wearing some sort of suit “it speaks?”. “And we’re so glad to see you to see you dear gems, we welcome you.” he continued. ‘is this some sort of trap?’ a slight chill ran down upon Moss as they stepped down from the cloud.”Aechema.” is that the lunarian’s name? Moss asked himself “these are the companions that came with me Benitoite, Alexandrite, Goshenite, Diamond, Moss Agate, Cairngorm, Yellow Diamond, and one of the twin amethysts, 33” Phos introduces us as “33” interrupted “No I’m 84”. And so he was fooled as well.

“There’s something i want to let you all know about First” Phos started a with hint of firm but unsettled-ness in his voice, as he picked up a pile of dust into his hands. He explained how the moon was covered in the crushed dust of their colleagues and something in Moss broke as he fell onto his knees like the others.

“At Least you get to be part of the moon now…”

“I will negotiate with Aechema to restore everyone from dust”
