Chapter 12
"Luna, Ryuutatsu, hurry the fuck up!" I yell, already far ahead of them. Even with Luna riding on Ryuutatsu they are so slow! Maybe we should fly instead. I think to myself as I ride Tornado.
"Want to fly Luna? It will be much faster." I ask, worried that at this rate I won't make it to my next concert. I pet Tornado, trying to soothe myself, it's not working very well though.
"If you want, sure I guess we can fly." Luna says, Ryuutatsu flapping her wings and taking off.
Tornado runs faster before taking flight. I smile, "WOOHOO!!!" I yell, taking in the pleasure of the wind blowing through my hair as I hear Luna woohoo too. I laugh as Tornado does some flips in the air.
"What are you doing Chara?!" Luna asks.
"Just doing some flips." I say. I pat Tornado's neck and start humming Savior of Song. I do eventually start singing the song, "I look across the raging war
And feel the steady beating of my heart
Arashi no mae no shizu kesa ni

Did you ever take the time to
Stop and think
Or imagine all the damage
You had to cause
Cause now you're standing
In front of a battle scene
And all the world was
Watching as hope was lost
Although you can't
Undo all that you have done
It's not the way
To cry or for you to run
You willing me
No way to before mind
And then you'll find
The answers inside of you
Bokura ga nozonda ni to I want it
Nikushi me ga kutte shimaun darou
Arasoi no saki ni nokoshita
Tsumeato wa dare ga kesunda?

Hagane no yō na kurushimi ni
Yaiba wo furi oroshitekunda

Savior of song
Savior of song!" I couldn't help it, I had to sing. I can't help but think about my friends from my life as a Mental Model.
"Your voice is as beautiful as ever Chara." Luna said.
"Thanks." I reply, it seems I only ever sing in Japanese as I am not a fluent speaker when it comes to Japanese.
"Chara, we are getting closer." Luna says.
"Alright." I answer, petting Tornado. I close my eyes and start to relax. After about a half hour of flying Luna gasps.
"We are here, they are below us." Luna says.
"Alright, Tornado get ready to dive." I say and then I look down and there is what seems like an abandoned factory. Tornado dives down by tucking in his wings. I look back to see Ryuutatsu hot on my tail, Luna giggling. Tornado lands softly and slows to a stop, then neighs loudly.
"They are somewhere around here, I can feel them very strongly. It's kinda strange, they feel weird to be honest. They were like my aura until about two hours ago, now it's like they are glowing." Luna says getting off of Ryuutatsu.
"Hm… weird." I say, scanning our surroundings for danger as I dismount off of Tornado.
"Yeah, wish I could see." Luna says stepping forward tentatively.
I pat Tornado's neck before walking towards the abandoned factory, "Come on, let's head inside and look around." I say. Luna puts a hand on Ryuutatsu's side as we slowly walk forward. I then walk towards the abandoned building and open the door. Tornado enters first and I wait for Luna and Ryuutatsu to enter as well, as we enter I have the sudden urge to leave. What is this feeling?? It feels like I'm being watched… or more importantly I think Luna is being watched. I summon a ball of fire so I can see everything around me. Weird, this place feels like it might be haunted… I think to myself. I see my own little illusion of Carl, my old bully from one of my previous lives. The thing is, only I can see him as he's my own illusion of torture. Luna gasps and I turn around, she's clutching her head and she turns towards a hall on the left.
"They are in this hall here." She says, pointing.
"Alright…" I answer and start walking down the hall. Carl continues to taunt me from the shadows. I glare at Carl and whisper, "Go away, you're not really here, you're dead, I killed you and burned your body, so go away." Carl just grins at me and shakes his head. I frown. Tornado looks at me, worry fills his red eyes.
"What?!" Luna asks, horrified.
I pet Tornado, still glaring at Carl. I then sigh and ignore Carl. As I continue walking down the hall. "I wasn't talking to you sis…" I say, shaking my head, hoping that Carl will leave but he doesn't.
"Oh." She mutters.
"Alright, so how much more walking do we have to do?" I ask. Tornado snorts and then starts nibbling my hair. Luna walks ahead of me and stops in front of a sea blue door.
"Right here." Luna says.
"Okay…" I say and open the door for Luna. Snap! "What the fucking hell was that?" I asked, looking around, I found something horrifying greeting me. A lab greeted me, her sea blue eyes were in a tank with a bunch of shit hooked up to it. What shocked me the most was it literally looked like her eyes were glowing gold.
"Chara? What happened? You're awfully quiet?" Luna asks.
"What the actual fuck is this?" I say, still horrified. "Wha- why?" I add.
"Chara??" Luna asks, worried.
"So uhm… your eyes are in some sort of tank and we're in a lab…" I say.
"Oh, no wonder they were weird." Luna says, as she collapses holding her head.
"Luna?! Luna what's wrong?!" I say, freaking out.
"My head hurts so much!!" Luna all but screams.
I curse and look around, trying to figure out what's causing this. I look over and Luna's eyes are seemingly glowing brighter. "Woah…" I say, entirely confused.
"What??" Luna cries, holding her head, curling into the fetus position. I watch as Luna uncurles herself and stands up, still holding her head.
"Luna? You alright??" I ask, but I get no response. She then walks slowly towards the tank, the closer she gets the stronger the glow. All of a sudden the glass breaks and a white light fills my vision. I open my eyes to find Luna on the floor passed out. As I ran over to make sure she was okay my vision started to get blurry, then all was black.
