Chapter 2

Vamberry

"Aaron! To your right!"

The gunslinger dodged just as a reign of arrows fell down on the spot where he was just standing. He quickly located the skeleton archers and fired off a series of shots with his Ninja guns. The bones collapsed as his Sol-energy bullets hit their marks. "Ha! Alright!" Aaron cried, pumping his fist in the air. He was rewarded by a hit to the head. "Ow!"

"Idiot. Don't let your guard down so easily." The hitter glared at him, one red-tinted brown eye showing, the other covered by an eye patch.

"Heh. Sorry, Lucian," Aaron said as he flashed a quick, sheepish grin at his partner before straitening, setting Ninja back it their hidden holster and pulling out his own gun, Knight. He turned to the floating sunflower hovering near his head. "Thanks for warning me, Toasty."

Lucian snorted and continued to cross the room.

The silence was broken by Nero. "There's something strange about this."

"Huh? What do you mean, Nero?" Aaron absentmindedly asked as he scanned the area behind him for any enemies planning a sneak attack.

"Think about it, Aaron," Toasty explained patiently. "We come back to Vamberry every few days to try and explore it, then spend hours cleaning up monsters. Vamberry has been shut down for months, so why are there still monsters trying to protect the place, and where are they coming from? Those are the answers we are seeking."

"Oh. I guess that makes sense." Noticing that Lucian had gone still, Aaron trotted to the swordsman. "Lucian, what's wrong?"

"This wasn't here the first time," Lucian muttered, more to himself than to the others. He stared at a lump of rock, almost twice as high as he was, and many times as wide.

"Really?" Aaron squinted at it, trying to remember whether or not he had seen it before. Is it a statue?

"Stand back."

"Huh? Woah!" Aaron barely lept back in time to miss being crushed by the debris as Lucian slashed at the lump with Vanargand.

Aaron coughed from the dust as he heard Toasty indignantly say, "You know, it's considered polite to give fair warning when you do something like that!"

"I did warn you," Lucian said apathetically. Nero, used to such actions, said nothing.

When he stopped coughing, Aaron opened his eyes to look at what remained of the rock, only to see a hole in the wall connected to a downward staircase. "Are we going down there?"

"What do you think?" Nero chimed in as Lucian began to climb down. Aaron and Toasty followed silently.

It didn't take long to reach the bottom. They entered a room filled with beakers and strange machines. Glass orbs set into the walls cast a light green glow on everything their light touched.

"Wow…" Aaron peered around the room as Lucian strode unhesitatingly to one of the many tables. "Was this here before?"

Lucian ignored him and picked up a vial filled with crusted goop. He took a small sniff and wrinkled his nose. "Blood. Human blood," he clarified before setting the vial down.

"Ew…" Aaron made a face as he ran a finger across a tabletop and brought it up, covered in dust. "I don't think anyone's been here for a while."

"Be careful of what you touch, you two," Toasty warned as he floated by Aaron's head. "This is an alchemist's lab. Who knows what could happen?" Lucian, as usual, ignored the warning as he poked around.

A small flash of light caught Aaron's attention, but as soon as he turned towards it, the light was gone. Frowning, he walked over to the wall opposite of where they had entered. There was a strange half-circle structure with symbols carved on the edges. He walked up to it as he heard Toasty start to berate the Swordsman, to no avail.

That's weird. I thought I saw something. Aaron put a hand on one of the symbols, and was startled when it started glowing. Like they were reacting, one by one the other symbols began to glow in succession, and a wind seemed to blow throughout the room.

"Aaron! What did you do?!" Toasty cried.

"I don't know!"

A swirling energy started to fill the arch, and the wind got stronger and started pulling everything towards the arch. Aaron gave a cry as his feet were pulled out from under him, and frantically grabbed one of the tiles on the structure. However, the tile cracked and, with a piece still in his hand, he was pulled further towards the energy.

"Aaron!" Lucian started running towards Aaron, with Nero and Toasty right behind him.

"Lucian!"

I'm not so sure I like the ending… Muuuuuuuuuuuuu……… And I found out I think of stories in pictures, which makes putting it in words kinda hard.

While writing this, I realized that Lucian and Aaron have a whole lot of weapons. Since I don't have any new characters in the next chapter, I'll write a brief description of all eight of them at the beginning.

Next Chapter of Star Force: Sun and Moon
