The Moon appears in a flash of static in front of Cole, staring down at him.
Cole stares back, "Sup lil bitch." The Moon's sickness spreads to Cole Genesone, causing his ears to ring and his vision to blur. Static overtakes his eyes as he feels the sudden need to cough. Cole falls off the couch and starts coughing as he covers his ears. A rising static tone starts before the two of them suddenly disappear.
---
Cole and The Moon appear outside of a large mansion surrounded by thick forest. Cole, while coughing, looks around and would groan if he wasn't coughing. The mansion is large, labyrinthlike. Anyone unfamiliar with the inner workings could easily get lost. Same with anyone familiar with them. This is one of His many realms. Cole's head is suddenly filled with self-depricating and violent intrusive thoughts as the time of day rapidly changes between day and night and his vision starts to shake. Cole starts manically laughing along with the coughing. Another rising static tone begins and Cole is suddenly transported to a bedroom inside of the mansion. On the bed is a trenchcoat, tinted sunglasses, and a knife that already has dried blood on it.
Cole coughs a little more and looks at the clothes with a smile as he changes into them. He leaves his other clothes on the bed. Cole checks the trenchcoat for a pack of cigs. They're fucking in there.
Cole grabs a cig out of the pack and grabs his zippo from his other pants and lights it and takes a puff, "Oh right, I need the knife." Cole grabs the knife and puts it in his trenchcoat then wanders, looking for the Moon. He's standing in the middle of a living room. Cole stares at him with a cig hanging out of his mouth,
"So what do I do now?" The mental image of a dead and mangled Luna is forced into his mind. Cole blinks a couple times and takes a long drag from his cig, "A warning would have been nice but sure I can do that. Sooooooooooooooooooo you want me to kill the trans cat girl?"
The Moon nods.
"I mean im gonna keep it a buck fifty, if they look cute I don't know if I can do it man," Cole starts fucking coughing again as distortion fills his ears. Cole falls over coughing as he sputters out, "I'll do it.....I'll fucking do it calm down"
The sickness subsides.
"Jesus christ," Cole stands up and coughs a little, "So do you provide like travel or do I have to take care of that myself?"
The Moon makes a fucking distorted and reverbed screech before teleporting Cole to the backyard. Cole walks inside to the living room.
He stares at Luna. "You."
"Me?" Luna looks at Cole, "Oh jesus fucking christ."
“Hey Cole, Nice trench coat.” Knight says.
"Yeah no." Luna disappears.
Orpheus yawns, "Thrice in two days?
Cole takes a puff of his cig, "So slend- god damn it I didn't get to say my funny line." A vine slithers up from the floorboards and pokes Cole. Cole stares at the vine, "What?"
It retreats back into the floorboards as Orpheus snickers
"What's going on??" Harmonia asks. Cole looks out the window to the front yard, sees Luna, and walks outside. Harmonia follows.
Cole steps out and looks at Luna, "Before you disappear let me say my line!"
"Sure. Keep your distance though." Luna says, "I heard you say Slenderman."
Harm walks out and stays on the porch for now.
Cole takes a puff from his cig, "Slenderman says- well he didn't say it was more of a distorted mess but he wants me to uh kill you so."
"Why?" Luna asks
Cole shrugs, "fuck if I know man"
"Look, I've been attacked like six times in the past three days." Luna says
"Youre not killing her," Harmonia pipes up.
"And so far the only one to kill me is Maiden." Luna says, "You're not killing me. Fuck the Moon."
"Mhm," Cole takes a puff of his cig, "So I don't think the moon has like an ass so I don't think you can fuck it"
"I'm a woman, I don't fuck asses." Luna says
Thistle walks out, "Fuck?"
"Thistle, please go back inside." Luna asks
"They learn so fast," Harmonia says
"Is that a child?" Cole asks. Thistle walks back through the door
"She's one of the Naomis." Luna replies
"Neat" Cole says
"So... the Moon must have given you a reason that I need to die." Luna asks, "What is it?"
"They didn't" Cole replies
"Bullshit." Luna retorts
"I mean I could ask" Cole asks
"Please do." Luna replies
"Plug your ears for a sec" Cole warns
Luna defocuses on the entire area. "Go ahead."
Cole screams in the most distorted and glitchy way possible
"What." Luna says, flummoxed
"Give it a sec" Cole says. The Moon appears infront of Cole.
"Sup moon dude." Luna says
"So can you explain why I have to kill the trans cat girl," Cole takes a puff from his cig
"It's cuz I'm trans right?" Luna asks.
"My dude, he's literally unkillable." Luna replies, "I genuinely cannot win against him."
"Dont fucking kill her???" Harmonia pipes up
"Also that. Good point Harmonia." Luna replies. Harmonia walks and stands protectively in front of Luna.
"I mean like I'm actually unkillable can you give me a more fair person or like a bad person?" Cole asks
"Like legitimately, this is a human being vs an Ant." Luna says "Maybe next time THINK BEFORE PUTTING OUT A FUCKING HIT! Long and hard"
"Don't shout, it hurts its ears, it's very emotional," Cole snarks as the Slender Man stands there and speaks in telepathic waves that the Writer can't pick up :(
Luna fucking guffaws
"Idea: dont make Cole kill my fucking friend? Fucking kill me or some shit at least I'll come back." Harmonia offers
"I don't want that either Harmonia. Look, I won't win against Cole, but I also won't die." Luna says, "Nine lives are useful for that."
"Don't make women mad it's the first rule" Cole says. Harmonia just sighs
"And yet... he made me mad. Because for the seventh fucking time this week, I HAVE BEEN TARGETTED. And I'm fucking tired of it!" Luna refocuses herself.
"I'll literally fist fight you" Harmonia says to the Moon.
"...telling the person who was supposed to die to simmer down." Luna says, "How fucking dare you."
"Okay." Harmonia walks up and tries to fucking punch him. Luna grimaces. Cole face palms and takes a long fucking drag from his cig. He catches the punch with one of his tendrils as Harmonia starts feeling the effects of the sickness. She doubles over, coughing and whimpering in pain.
"Fine. You want me to die so badly, then let's fucking duel, Cole." Luna offers.
"Hold on let me," Cole tosses his cig butt on the ground and stomps it out as he grabs another cig from his trench coat and struggles to light it.
"Jesus christ dude." Luna comments. The sickness disappates as The Moon offers a hand to Harmonia.
Harmonia takes it. "That didn't work..."
"Hold on," Cole finally lights it and takes a puff, "It was the wind I swear" The state of this man. What a fool. Lung cancer has ruined him.
Luna clicks the app on her phone, transforming her into MG form.
"I've never been angry in this form." Luna says. Cole takes the knife with dried blood on it out and walks over to Luna with the cig in his mouth.
"Cole do not-" Harmoina says
A light purple fiery aura surrounds Luna, kind of like Super Saiyan form. The Moon helps Harmonia up and teleports her out of harm's way, but to a place where they could still see the fight.
Luna pulls out her Onyx broadsword and lights it on fire. Cole aims a stab at Luna's stomach.
Harmonia looks at them. "Cole, stop it!
Luna blips backwards and shoots a big ball of flames at Cole! "FLAMETHROWER!"
Cole rolls out of the way and slashes at Luna's thigh.
Luna jumps out of the way and slashes the flame sword at his back! "Flame slash!"
"Both of you fucking stop!" Harmonia tries to run and get between them. Cole rolls backward and slashes at Luna's chest.
Luna rolls to the side dodging the slash, shooting another fire ball at where Cole's weakpoint on his back would be.
{- It's a game of weak spots, once more -}
Cole rolls out of the way and throws the knife at Luna's forehead, "Fuckin eat shit"
"STOP FIGHTING IM GONNA FUCҜ丨几-" Harmonia's words turn into growls as she gets in front of the knife.
"Harmonia no!" Luna claps her hands, stopping the knife dead in its tracks.
"Fucking idiot!" The knife flies back into Cole's hand.
"Harmonia, I know what I'm doing. Trust me on this." Luna says. The Moon teleports Harmonia back over to him. Harmonia is growling incoherently as she tries to run back. He does it again.
Luna knows Cole's weakpoints like the back of her hand. Just sucks her entire fucking body is a weakspot.
Harmonia decides to try and attack the Moon instead! Hitting and kicking in pure anger. She gets ensnared in his tentacles, the sickness overtaking her.
Cole throws the knife at Luna's forehead again. Luna claps her hands once more, stopping the knife in mid air, "Try try again bitchboi."
Harmonia doubles over and groans, going limp as she coughs.
The knife flies back into Cole's hand, "What fucking power is that? What are you, fuckin doctor who?"
"Psychic powers. Nope, just Luna." Luna grins. "How else do you think I teleport? Same idea, except I can target items too." A invisible force picks Luna up by the nape of the neck and lifts her in the air. "Fuck."
"I still have my powers fuckass," Cole snarks. Luna tries to teleport out of it, but it keeps its grip.
The sickness weakens as The Moon starts to let Harmonia go. Cole slams Luna into the ground hard enough to shatter bones as he takes a long puff from his cig. She's downed, quite a few bones broken. A loud screech comes out of her as her purple flame aura strengthens.
"Are you done?" Cole walks over to Luna and blows the smoke in her face.
"Are you?" Luna asks, "Also fucking get a vape you jackass."
"No fuck you," Cole stabs Luna in the back.
It connects. Luna is downed, close to death, "...finish me off..cole. make..moon happ.y."
Harmonia looks over. "DONT"
"Alright," Cole stabs Luna in the back of the head.
Luna Grey, Archivist of Worlds, friend of many, mother of Rookbot, is dead.
Harmonia screams.
Cole takes the knife out and takes a puff from his cig, "I mean they told me to do it."
The Moon teleports beside Luna's body, staring down at it. Harmonia starts sobbing. Luna's dress was all black and sparkly, a human with purple hair and cat ears. A few seconds pass before both The Moon and the moon disappear.
---
The Moon appears inside the mansion with Luna's body. He then brings it into a basement, setting it down alongside a pile of others. He disappears.
...
...
...
For some reason, a sound was emitted from Luna's corpse.
ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴇɪɢʜᴛ ʟɪᴠᴇꜱ ʀᴇᴍᴀɪɴɪɴɢ...
And she's able to open her eyes.
{- Lunes! Lunes! You-- you're alive? -}
"Wha... wha?"
"What happened Krystal?"
{-You... allowed Cole to finish you off.. he killed you.-}
"...right. right, i.. remember.. fuck that was my first death wasn't it"
{-In this world at least. Remember, different worlds have different rules. In this world, it seems like you have nine lives... for real. It's not just a joke about how you keep surviving shit randomly.-}
"nine lives?"
"Sooooo... this isn't heaven?"
Luna looks around, still in her magical girl form. And that's a lot of dead bodies. What the fuck Moon???
"Shit."
Luna opens her phone, trying to see if there's a connection.
One bar. Not good enough for a phone call. Any texts will take a while to send.
"...fucking fantastic. I get fucking perfect reception in Hell, but Slendy's place has to be special."
Anyway, she dusts herself off and checks herself in her phone camera. No wounds? Just a very cute woman staring back at her 😳 ... oh wait, that's me.
Luna tries to leave the basement, through the door up the stairs.
The door is locked with a padlock.
"Really? What is this, an escape room?"
{-Lunes, just treat it as Ace Attorney, I'll even give you some music.-}
Krystal digs through Luna's massive library of music and finds fitting music.
"Ah much better."
Luna examines the round around her for some kind of a key, or maybe even a hairpin.
There is a locked box with a 3 number combination on it.
"...oh for fucks sake."
Luna inputs 4 2 0 as a joke.
It fucking opens.
"Wait what the fuck??? Okay The Moon is a pot head."
She examines the contents.
There's a paperclip inside.
"Ugh. Okay, time to see if my lock picking skills aren't shit."
{- you have Picking stat of 30/100. -}
"Shit."
Luna heads to the padlock. She inserts the paperclip into the padlock and tries to pick it open. She imagines being Lock Picking Lawyer, someone she watches regularly.
"I am the Lock Picking Catgirl, and here today I have an old padlock for your examination."
No genesis set unfortunately, as featured on Covert Instruments dot com.
It works.
"Nice. mmkay."
Luna exits the basement.
The mansion seems very well-kept for something that's seemingly abandoned from the outside. There's electricity, and the walls only have a few vines and cracks in them. Luna sees a hallway infront of her.
Luna goes through the hallway looking for the exit.
Luna passes by The Courtyard, where she can see The Moon standing in the middle of it, thankfully not looking in her direction. She suddenly feels the urge to cough, but since the sickness is not currently being directed towards her, it isn't too prevalent.
Luna holds her cough the best she can. Figures it takes her to actually die to feel any traditional sickness. She continues walking forward.
She eventually comes across a back door, but it's locked.
"...fine."
Luna simply tries to unlock it, no key necessary.
"Keep things simple."
It opens right up.
"As I thought. Not even locked."
Luna exits through the backdoor.
She teleports home
