Chapter 19 - The Hero of the Night: Luna Part 1

Misa looked around and found herself isolated from the rest of her friends. She wandered around aimlessly, hoping to find someone. The town she was at was empty. It was a ghost town. She decided to get some rest in an abandoned building as she just got done fighting Yuto. She sat on the cold floor and closed her eyes.

A few hours later she heard shifting and opened her eyes.

"Who's there?!" Misa called out. She stood up and walked to the direction and saw a woman in black clothing and white hair. She seemed to be hiding. "An assassin..you don't have to fight for Yuto anymore as he is dead.."

"I'm not fighting for whoever Yuto is..are you with that man?" The woman asked.

"What man?" Misa asked.

"Kurai..I escaped his world..I ran out of energy to make another portal.." She said.

"I am actually a Dark Lord. Kurai is my enemy..who are you?" Misa asked.

"I am Luna.." She responded.

Misa took a step back and looked at Luna. The Hero of the Night was sitting before her...and she looked pretty pathetic in the eyes of Misa, although she can't blame her. Kurai and the Phantom God are ruthless with their prisoners..not as bad as the Dark Lords but pretty bad.

"Where are we?" Misa asked.

"The 16th World: Gigias..All the heroes here..are gigantic..Titans..too strong for even me to handle...I can't imagine how the other Dark Lords are doing.." Luna said.

Misa walked and sat beside Luna and looked at her. Luna looked at Misa and smiled weakly. Misa wrapped her cape over Luna.

"Why are you nice to me..? Isn't it your job to kill heroes.. especially when they are at their weakest?" Luna said.

"You aren't an enemy.." Misa looked at the roof. "Tell me more about Luca please.."

"L-Luca..?" Luna looked at Misa surprised. Misa looked at Luna.

"What went down after they captured you? What did Luca do..? What happened?" Misa asked.

"I..I can't remember...the last thing I remember was seeing Luca in his Transcended Form..he wasted all his energy using one last attack against the Phantom God..it was called...Unholy Hypernova. This attack was the only attack that was nearly able to kill the Phantom God..but Kurai deflected the attack back to Luca..and afterwards I passed out.." Luna said.

"I see..what happened to Shaman and The Queen..?" Misa asked.

"Shaman sacrificed her own life to be with her husband..The Queen is still alive...she's resisting becoming Kurai's new mind slave..she's been resisting for so many years that I lost count.." Luna said.

"What about the child? And Luca's secretary?" Misa asked.

"Both dead...I am the only one who was able to escape alive..I wanted to save The Queen but she told me to run.." Luna looked down.

Misa closed her eyes and sighed. The only two alive from all those years ago are Luna and The Queen and Luna is the only one who managed to escape.

"We have to kill the Phantom God..because he plans to take my power...and destroy the Phantom Realm..I am not even close to Kurai's power.." Misa said.

"Kurai has no weakness as you could imagine..he can't even be killed normally..Queen has tried..she stabbed him in his heart..3 times..it's like he doesn't even have one...like he's just a vessel." Luna said.

"How can that even be possible...if we can't kill him how can we even-" Misa paused. "What if he's..you know... immortal.."

"Doubt it..but he does have signs of Supernatural Healing..being stabbed in the heart 3 times and walking off like it's a normal scar shows he has healing abilities beyond belief.." Luna said.

"Supernatural Healing..that's a skill not many people have..if that's true then he must have a core inside his body.." Misa said.

"Probably..." Luna yawned and closed her eyes. "I need to rest...so good night..."

Just like that Luna was fast asleep. Misa watched her and sat beside her and closed her eyes as well.

Meanwhile the others were fighting the Gigantified Heroes. They were struggling since their power was boosted by a multiple of 2. They couldn't handle all of them at once.

"Irea..we need to retreat for now..there's too many of them." Kazumi said.

"Yeah.. alright let's withdrawal for now!" Irea said.

They all retreated the base and hid inside a village. They sat in an empty bar.

"Don't tell me we get stuck on the 16th World.." Tania groaned.

"Where is Misa?" Marielle asked.

"She's on this world..I felt her energy...but she's all the way on the other side of the world.." Viper hissed.

"What are we gonna do? We don't have enough Mana to warp to her." Elizabeth said.

"Can't believe I'm saying this but..we have to..use the Merchant.." Irea mumbled.

"Did I hear Merchant?" A little devil appeared behind the counter of the Bar.

Emma squeaked and stumbled back. The little devil smiled and looked at them.

"Yeah..we need to buy supplies.." Lilith said.

"Take your pick..for this world the hot item is a Gigantify Battle Room for your monsters. Only one monster can use this so choose wisely." The devil said.

"I will get one for each Dark Lord and Kazumi...Polaris you're better off using the Equipment Merchant." Irea said.

"Yeah my Ice Katana isn't working so I will have to use one of these.." Kazumi said. Polaris agreed with Kazumi.

"Before we defeat the heroes and the boss..we have to find Misa first..who knows what person could be lurking around the world waiting to snatch her.." Emma said.

A shadow figure walked in the abandoned building and saw Misa and Luna then smirked. He walked to them and Misa woke up and saw the man and grabbed Luna and vanished. The man growled and ran out the building.

"Mmm..." Luna slowly opened her eyes and saw she was on a roof and was about to scream then Misa covered her mouth.

"That man tried to take us...we need to be quiet.." Misa whispered. Luna nodded.

Misa jumped from building to building and vanished.

"You're more useless than that Urias." Kurai said.

"Misa must've sensed me.." the man said.

"Don't worry...she won't get very far.." Kurai chuckled.
