Chapter 16 - Chapter 15: A Midnight Chat with Luna!

/2 Years before Season 1\

Somewhere on the moon->

We see a short, beautiful, and a definitely must protect young Alicorn. She was watching through a glowing orb, spying-I mean… observing a young individual.

"Hmm, with his abilities… Maybe he can save me?" This Alicorn was desperate for a saviour. Nightmare Moon will escape in due time… and her strength is running out…

We time skip a few minutes later, we see the Alicorn using a spell in the orb.

"Please work…" she whispered.

Then suddenly… 

*SHING!!*

….

A Few Minutes prior->

We see our main protagonist, Kurat Melenia, reading new comics and mangas. Some include: My Hero Academia, Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, Boruto: The Next Generation, Captain Underpants, and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (Yes, Adam created a Comic Version of MLP: EG using the paper provided by Kurat and Kurat's memories of the side show).

It was also nighttime, with a Full Moon!

"Hmm, Applejack was a bit dumb to not discuss with Rainbowdash here… still gives me that headache till this day!" Kurat complained about a certain scene.

[Kurat, I am detecting a Magical Signature]

"Huh? Really?" Kurat got up. "Where is it being located?"

[Here]

"Huh?"

[At us]

"…Please tell me it is a letter from Celestia…" Kurat prayed.

[No, it is a signature coming from the moon. I do not know how, but judging at how bright the moon is, and the legends about "The Mare In The Moon", and from your memories of the events of season one, I can absolutely say that this is a calling spell]

"A what? So, it's not a summoning spell or something like that?" He asked with curiosity.

[It is sort of like a summoning spell, but it requires the user to be asleep for the spell to take effect, and because I was able to deduce the coordinates of the spell's origin… it is coming directly from the moon. It could be within the dream realm, as it is Luna's domain, but that is just a guess from my standpoint]

After hearing Adam's report, Kurat placed all his stories aside, laid down on his futon, and told Adam about his hypothetical scenario.

[Are you sure? Luna is trying to call upon you? Really?]

"Yes, I'm sure Adam, now hurry and knock me out!" Kurat urged Adam, but Adam was skeptical about the whole situation.

[Maybe it could be Luna, or maybe it could be Nightmare Moon. I can't let you take this risk Kurat. As both your friend and guardian, it is my duty to make sure you survive, so that we both can survive]

"Adam, don't argue with me here."

[Kurat, please use your thick head for once and listen! This could either go really badly, or really, REALLY, badly for the both of us!!]

"Adam… knock me out." Kurat was serious about this…

[…]

Adam, seeing Kurat's seriousness, and his determined attitude, could only accept defeat and play along.

[*sighs*]

[Fine… I'll do it. But to be careful, I will also allow you to use [Unique Skill: Adaptability], only if! You are in a tight spot. Nightmare Moon was locked up alongside Luna, so there's a high probability that a battle will initiate]

Kurat took Adam's warning to heart and closed his eyes, waiting to be knocked out.

[One more thing: Since we are being called upon, I am also being summoned. And for more safety measures, stay in your Human form, do not use any Domain Expansions, unless absolutely necessary, and that is only IF Adaptability somehow fails, which it probably won't. Understood?]

That wasn't a question, but an order. Kurat nodded and kept his eyes closed.

[Knocking out in 3…]

Kurat was thinking of many scenarios of how this "meet up" would go down.

[2…]

Kurat started to sweat a bit, mostly due to his fear of fighting a near Demi-God in her domain.

[1]

Kurat Blacked out…

….

*Shing!*

Kurat is seen in a lying position.

*groans*

Kurat got up, a mild headache followed his transition to the dream realm.

"Huh, so this is what the moon looks like?" Kurat stared back into the emptiness of space… and saw it. The large planet of Equus.

"Beautiful" was the only word that escaped Kurat's mouth.

After a few seconds of admiring his new home world, Kurat snapped back to reality and asked Adam for a report.

[This new realm is new, even to me. I would need to scan the area for a while, but I can still provide support if needed. Also there is an entity slowly walking towards you. Turn Around]

Kurat turned his head nervously, really hoping it was not Nightmare Moon… thankfully, he was right.

"Hello…" The young Alicorn spoke.

"Umm, hi?" Kurat waved back.

"Are…are you the being that resides in the EverFree Forest?" She asked, although certain, she was also afraid that it could be another trick by her Evil Self.

"Yes, yes I am. My name is Kurat Melenia, and you must be Princess Luna? Little sister of Princess Celestia?"

*gasp!*

Luna walked back slowly, 'how-how he know who we are? And how does he know we share blood with Tia?' Luna thought.

Kurat held one of his hands open, in front for Luna to grab. "I-I'm not evil or anything! I was just… knowledgeable about your history is all, and records of you appear in the EverFree Castle." Kurat answers Luna, seeing a bit of her fear disappear.

She walked back slowly towards Kurat, seeing his hand held out, asked "are…aren't you afraid of we?" Luna asked, hoping for a different reply.

Kurat shook his head. "No, I am not Princess Luna." Kurat reassures her.

"Hmm…" Luna places one of her front hooves onto Kurat's held out hand. Kurat smiled at this and shook her hoof.

Kurat let's go and asked immediately, "So, were you the one who called upon me?"

"Yes, we saw your battle against the Hydra, your lifestyle, your training, your abilities… and your…continued discussion with the air." Luna ended, her words still unsure about Kurat.

"Ok… can you tell me how you spied on me?" Luna blushed a bit before lighting her horn, showing a glowing orb.

"This allows us to watch one individual's life, their current life. And we sensed your power, slowly investigating you, learning about you… we hope you aren't mad…" Luna's ears dropped, his indicating an apology for seeing his private life.

'Oh God, this is adorable!' Kurat shouted in his head.

Kurat threw his hands around, showing that he did not mind. "No, no, it's alright Princess Luna. And the "talking-to-the-air" thing is not a psychological thing, I swear!" Kurat answered Luna.

"Then… who did thou speak to then?" Luna asked, tilting her head slightly to the side.

"Hmm…" Kurat rubbed his chin. 'Hey Adam? Is there a way for you to… I don't know, allow others to hear you?'

[Normally, no. As I would need both a physical body, and both Ego and Soul, I already have an Ego and Soul, but my power is still a bit limited due to only being a Unique Skill, but…]

'But?'

[Since this is the dream realm, it should be theoretically possible for me to possess or manifest a body here… should I give it a try?]

'Absolutely!'

Luna watched as Kurat kept thinking to himself. 'What is he thinking about? Is he trying to find an explanation on why he talks to the air?' Luna wondered.

[Running Calculations…..]

[Calculations runned!]

[Manifesting a body here is possible, and due to this realm having only the limits of imagination, me having a body is possible]

'Do it.'

[Manifesting body… copying Kurat Melenia's appearance…]

'Hey, wait! Why me?'

[Why not you?]

'Well… I can't think of a good reason…. BUT I WILL SOON!!'

[Body creation… created]

[Temporarily transferring [Unique Skill: True Sage] into body]

[Transferr… successful!]

[Body manifesting now!]

*Shing!*

A Body appeared right beside Kurat. It looks like him, but it wasn't Kurat.

The Body bowed towards Luna, "greeting Princess Luna, I am Adam, Kurat's Friend and Guardian."

Luna jumped back in shock, seeing another being appear, in her domain, without her permission, was a surprise to her. 

"So… are you the one that Kurat talks to?" Luna asked.

"Yes, as you tell, I do not have a proper body, and this is only possible due to your realms rules" Adam answered Luna, assuring her that he is the one who talks to Kurat.

"Wow, it's like looking in the mirror!" Kurat exclaimed, shocked at Adam's new appearance.

'So this is how Rimuru felt, seeing Ciel use his body as an example and basing off that to form her own! Man, I can't wait for the future!' Kurat was indeed excited.

"Well, we are pleased to meet you Adam, friend of Kurat Melenia." Luna spoke first.

"The pleasures are all mine, Princess Luna." Adam bowed again, before standing up straight.

"Oh, please do not call me Princess…. that title holds no meaning here. Ple-please, call me Luna!" Luna said in a nervous voice.

"Alright then, miss Luna." Adam answered.

Kurat cuts in, making his statement, "soooo, are we all friends here or what?"

Adam turned to Kurat, "Kurat! She just met us, and is probably still adjusting to our appearance! Let her mind slowly adapt to the situation before making state-" Adam was cut off by Luna.

"It is all right Adam, Kurat means no disrespect. And… friends? We would call thee a friend?" Luna asked, slowly walking towards the duo.

"Uhh, yeah!" Kurat answered quickly.

Luna stopped just a few feet away from Kurat and Adam. "Friends…" she said it once to get used to the sound, "yes, indeed we are friends!" 

Adam and Kurat looked at each other, using Bro Telepathy.

'Adam, how lonely must one be to quickly befriend complete strangers?!'

Apparently, almost 1000 Years imprisoned on the moon is enough for that to occur, and also because she spied on us.'

'Ah, right… did-did we just befriend an Alicorn Adam?'

'I think… we did Kurat'

Luna was very confused at why Kurat and Adam were just staring at each other. "Umm, excuse me you two? Hope I'm not bothering or anything, but, what is going on?"

Hearing Luna's voice, Adam and Kurat quickly snapped out of their conversation. "We were simply discussing to ourselves, that is all Luna" Adam Answered.

"Discussing? How? I sensed no telepathy between the two of you?" Luna was confused, very confused.

"Uhhh, it's a bro's thing Luna." Kurat answered Luna, but she was still confused.

Questions flew by, conversations started and ended. We see the trio sitting down, chatting with each other about their lives.

*laughs*

Luna laughed after hearing the time where Kurat was being chased by an Ursa Major.

"Why? Why would anypony-oh sorry, anyone, willingly into an Ursa Cave? Especially one that resides in the EverFree Forest?"

"I-" Adam cuts Kurat off.

"He thought that untold treasures resided inside that cave, even after I told him there was an Ursa Major staying there… but he never listens until it's too late" Adam said while sipping his tea.

"Wha-HEY! ANYONE WOULD VENTURE INTO A MYSTERIOUS CAVE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!" Kurat retorted.

"Haha, yes, some might follow that way of thinking Kurat but-" Luna froze.

"Is something wrong Luna?" Adam asked.

"Yes… she's here…" Luna answered, Adam immediately knew who "she" is, and his body immediately dissolved, returning back into Kurat.

"Is it?" Kurat asked Luna.

"Yes… Nightmare Moon is arriving!" Luna answered, Kurat immediately started to feel fear, sweat slowly formed on his forehead, his hands started to shake as the immense pressure of the incoming aura slowly got closer…

"Wha-what should we do Luna!!" Kurat asked in a hurried voice.

"We face her… there is no running here Kurat. Trust me… I have tried numerous times to flee her grasp… but this prison… keeps us at bay.." Luna slowly backed behind Kurat. Kura seeing this, was now even more terrifying at the impending doom approaching them.

[Kurat, from the time we arrived until now… we have about 3 hours left before dawn breaks]

Kurat heard Adam's report, he sighed is relief for a second, but remembered about Luna… 'sh*t! If I leave, she will definitely be abused by Nightmare Moon! What should I do?!' Kura was thinking of a way to deal with Nightmare Moon, when Adam gave a proposal.

[I want to help as well Kurat, she isn't just your friend, but mine as well. I have a plan that might slow her down, or completely seal her]

'Well, tell me already?!'

[We use [Unique Skill: Gluttony] and absorb her, I will use all my strength to keep her at bay, using her immense power as her prison, and then I can slowly consume her, having a high chance of gaining a Unique, or maybe even a good chance to evolve one of your skills to the Ultimate Level, but… the risks are also as great as the rewards…]

*sighs*

'Let me guess, that bit*h somehow overpowers you, takes control of my body and either kills or imprison you, or I start to lose control due to long usage of Gluttony?' Kurat's guess was right on the nail.

[….Correct..]

'Hmm, low chance of success, certainty of death?'

Kurat grinned.

'What are we waiting for?'

[Good call Kurat]

Luna was still watching Kurat remain silent, she guessed that both Adam and Kurat had come up with a plan to somehow push back Nightmare Moon, but it was only a guess…

*Hoof steps*

"She's here…" Luna shivered in fear and hid behind Kurat.

Kurat looked back and reassured her, "don't worry Luna, Adam and I have come up with a plan… and we will make sure to protect you, right Adam?"

[Righty-o Kurat]

"Re-really?" Luna asked, a hint of happiness came from her voice.

"Yup! And now…"

*Hoof steps stop*

Luna and Kurat were now facing the one being they really wanted to avoid… Nightmare Moon.

….

(A/N: Nightmare Moon = NM. Alright, cool)

"Hoo~ who is this Luna?" NM asked Luna, who was seen hiding behind Kurat.

"I'm her friend, and you ain't gonna do sh*t to her." Kurat asked with venom in his voice.

"Hmm? And who might you be, Mortal?"

NM asked with curiosity.

"I'm Kurat, your friendly neighbourhood, "Demi-God Spanker!" And I see one just asking for a good beating." Kurat winced a bit from his choice of words, 'god, that was both weird and cringy!!'

"…"

"Uhh-" Kurat was cut off.

*Laughter*

'She's laughing? Oh, of course she is! A Mortal daring to challenge an Alicorn? Of course she would laugh!'

"Hahaha, really? You dare to speak like that to your queen?" NM answered, her horn slowly glowing and her wings expanding , showing her full Dark Form.

"Uhhh, yeah! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FU*KING CHALLENGE!" "Sh*t I said challenge twice!" Kurat said the last part in a soft voice.

"Oh, hohoho, fine. It would be better to put you in your place, afterall…" NM's horn glowed, creating a large set of dark, thick spikes above her head, aimed at Kurat.

Immediately, the only words that Adam and Kurat could muster up was: "Oh we might be fu*ked!" / [Oh we are royally fu*ked!!]

Part Two: Battle of Darkness! Kurat VS Nightmare Moon!!!
