This story, and the characters in it, belong to me.
Previously on Star and Ember:
The Destroyer, and The Enchantress, have created the Synervian Liberation Force. Their two soldiers, The Tracker and The Siren, attacked Stareye and Embercore. Our two heroes were able to defeat their new foes, but The Destroyer and Enchantress left them with a haunting exclamation: Wrathenus has been put to slumber at their hands. Now, Stareye and Embercore are left to deal with this horrifying revelation.
3.1. The Villains Regroup.
At the Synervian Liberation Force's secret base, a green smoke appears in the Control Room. The smoke materializes into The Destroyer, Enchantress, Tracker, and Siren.
The Enchantress:
That could've gone better.
The Tracker:
Ya think? That was embarrassing!
The Destroyer walks to the middle of the room. There is a throne stationed there. He sits in it, and faces his team.
The Destroyer:
A temporary loss. The plan is still sound though.
The Destroyer raises his hand, and makes a fist. His fist gets covered in orange flames.
The Destroyer:
I can feel my power growing.
The Enchantress walks up the The Destroyer, and sits in his lap.
The Destroyer:
We must continue. I have an idea, but I need to find a way to implement it.
The Destroyer's eyes glow orange.
The Destroyer:
I'm getting a call. It's Stareye.
The Enchantress:
Duty calls. Lie low for now, everyone.
3.2. Severing Ties.
Wrathenus walks up to a group of people. They notice her. She waves at them. They feel nervous around her, and walk away. Wrathenus sulks. She sits in the ground. Tears start to fall from her eyes. Someone walks up to her. She looks up, and sees that it’s Embercore. Embercore sits down next to her. Wrathenus smiles. The two of them start talking.
Suddenly, Embercore is stirred by someone calling her name. She is sitting on the couch in the living room of Synervian Castle. Stareye is standing up, looking at her.
Stareye:
Ember?
Embercore blinks a couple of times.
Embercore:
Y-Yes?
Stareye:
I called Technodroid. He, and the Creation Crew, are on the way.
Embercore:
...Okay.
Embercore rubs her head.
Stareye:
Are you okay?
Embercore:
I was thinking about Wrathenus. I was remembering the time when we first became friends. Now, I have to tell her mate that she might be gone...
Stareye puts a hand on her shoulder.
Stareye:
Hey, after we get the castle fixed up, we’ll keep looking.
Embercore smiles. She stands up, and walks up to the giant hole in the wall of the living room. Stareye walks up to her. Outside, a Creation Crew van drives up to the castle. Technodroid, Slickshot, and the three members exit the vehicle. Technodroid walks up to the front of the group. He sees Embercore and Stareye. He starts to wave, but he stops. All five of them are shocked to see a giant hole in the wall of the castle. Embercore and Stareye wave back, and smile sheepishly.
Embercore:
H-Hi guys.
Technodroid:
What happened!?
Stareye:
That's a long story...
The Creation Crew join Embercore, and Stareye, in repairing the living room. While they work, Technodroid talks to Stareye and Embercore.
Technodroid:
So, what caused all of this?
Embercore:
I think you should sit down for this.
Technodroid looks puzzled. He walks to the couch, and sits down on it.
Technodroid:
What happened?
Stareye:
We were attacked last night-
Technodroid:
What!?
Stareye raises his hands.
Stareye:
We're alright, thankfully.
Technodroid:
How many where there?
Stareye:
They called themselves the "Synervian Liberation Force." There were four in total.
Embercore:
But, that's not what we wanted to tell you. We were told by two of our attackers that...
Embercore stops talking. Stareye turns to her. Technodroid notices the solemn look on their faces. Stareye puts a hand on Embercore's shoulder.
Stareye:
I'll tell him.
Embercore nods her head in approval. Stareye turns to Technodroid.
Stareye:
Two people, who called themselves "The Destroyer" and 'The Enchantress," told us that they put Wrathenus to slumber.
Slickshot, and the other crew members, stop working. They turn to face Stareye, Embercore, and Technodroid. A look of shock appears on Technodroid's face. He starts shaking his head in disbelief.
Technodroid:
No... No!
Tears start flowing from his eyes.
Technodroid:
Maybe they're lying... They have to be lying!
Stareye grabs Technodroid by the shoulders, and looks at him dead in the eyes.
Embercore:
We don't know for sure.
Stareye:
If Wrathenus is truly gone, then we will do everything in our power to stop them. We just want to repair our home first. That's a promise.
Techrodroid wipes the tears from his face, and nods his head.
Technodroid:
Okay...
Stareye:
Take a break. We'll continue the renovations.
Stareye turns to Embercore.
Stareye:
You should take a break too.
Embercore:
No. It'll be better for me to stay busy.
Stareye:
...Understood.
Slickshot notices that the other three Crew members were not working.
Slickshot:
Let's get back to work, guys.
Everybody starts the repairs again. Stareye walks up to Slickshot and the Fourth Crew Member, who are helping to repair the wall of the living room. They create bricks out of rock using their earth powers. Slickshot turns to Stareye.
Slickshot:
Is she really gone?
Stareye:
That's what our assailants told us. Like Tech said, I hope they're lying.
Fourth Crew Member:
I hope they're not.
Slickshot looks down at Fourth Crew Member, who is kneeling down to fix the wall.
Slickshot:
Don't start.
The Fourth Crew Member stops working, and gets in Slickshot's face.
Fourth Crew Member:
No! I'm going to say what I want. I didn't like being around that freak, and I'm not going to stay quiet because a traitor want me too.
The Fourth Crew Member punches Slickshot in the face! Slickshot's eyes glow red, and he punches the Fourth Crew Member in the face as well! The Fourth Crew Member falls to the ground from the impact. The two other Crew members grab the Fourth Crew Member, while Technodroid and Stareye grab Slickshot. Embercore faces the Fourth Crew Member.
Embercore:
Enough! You are here to help us fix our home. While you are in my house, you will not speak about Wrathenus like that!
Fourth Crew Member:
Screw you, Ember! You, and Slick, were idiots for hanging out with that freak! Worse, Technodroid was her mate! How fitting is it that he is a freak, too, despite being a creature of light! That's disgusting!
A furious expression appears on Technodroid's face. He bears his teeth, and his eyes turn orange.
Fourth Crew Member:
I hope those Synervian Liberation Force guys put more creatures of darkness to slumber!
He turns to Stareye.
Fourth Crew Member:
Starting with Stareye!
Technodroid grabs the Fourth Crew Member by the throat, and lifts him up into the air!
Technodroid:
If you won't shut your mouth, then I'll rip your jaw off.
Technodroud puts his fingers in the Fourth Crew Member's mouth, grabs the inside of his jaw, and begins to pull it! The Fourth Crew Member starts to yell out in pain. He grabs Technodroid's hand and tries to pull it out of his mouth, but to no avail. An evil smile forms across Technodroid's face. Everybody grabs onto Technodroid's arms to try and release his grip.
Stareye:
Tech, stop! You're hurting him!
Technodroid's eyes stop glowing. He realizes what he's doing, and he lets go of the Fourth Crew Member. The two other crew members check on the Fourth Crew Member, while Stareye, Embercore, and Slickshot check on Technodroid.
Technodroid:
I'm sorry! I didn't-
Second Crew Member:
Save it, Tech! Wrathenus was a freak, but you're an abomination!
Technodroid's face drops.
Embercore:
That's enough!
The Second Crew Member gets in Embercore's face.
Second Crew Member:
We are leaving. As far as I'm concerned, Ember, you're not as good of a leader as I thought you were.
Stareye gets in front of Embercore, and faces the Second Crew Member.
Stareye:
Just leave.
Second Crew Member:
I'm not listening to you-
Stareye steps forward, and glares directly into the Second Crew Member's eyes.
Stareye:
Just. Leave.
The Second Crew Member back away a bit. Stareye continues glares at him. Embercore is surprised. The Second Crew Member turns his head to face the other two Crew members.
Second Crew Member:
Let's go, guys.
The three Crew members leave the castle. Stareye watches them leave. Afterwards, he turns to Slickshot.
Stareye:
That was quite a punch you threw at that guy.
Slickshot runs his head, and smiles in embarrassment.
Slickshot:
I'm sorry, but I wasn't going to let anybody get away with putting their hands on me again.
Stareye turns to Technodroid.
Stareye:
Are you alright, Tech?
Technodroid:
Yeah...
Technodroid looks at the hand he had in Crew Mate Number 5's mouth.
Technodroid:
I've... never been that angry before...
Stareye:
I don't blame you, but let's not do that again okay?
Technodroid nods his head.
Technodroid:
I'm sorry.
Stareye pats him on the back. Embercore puts her head on Stareye's shoulder.
Embercore:
Thank you.
Stareye:
No problem.
He rubs the back of her head. She blushes, and smiles. Then, she sees the hole that's still in the living room wall. Her smile becomes a sheepish one.
Embercore:
Maybe we should continue the repairs another time?
Slickshot:
Don't worry about it. I'll fix the wall myself if I have to.
Technodroid:
Nonsense. We came out here to do a job, and we're going to do it together.
Stareye, and Embercore, smile.
Embercore:
Thank you. Both you two.
Technodroid and Slickshot smile at her. At the Creation Crew station, the three members are trying to adjust to what happened. They're sitting at their table. The Third Crew Member turns to the Fourth Crew Member.
Third Crew Member:
How's your jaw?
The Fourth Crew Member rubs his jaw.
Fourth Crew Member:
It's starting to feel better.
The Third Crew Member sighs, and shakes his head. He sits next to the Fourth Member.
Third Crew Member:
We should have left sooner.
First Crew Member:
Well, we finally came to our senses.
The First Crew Member walks up to them, and sits down at the table.
Second Crew Member:
We're free of Wrathenus, and now we're free of Technodroid.
Fourth Crew Member:
Next is that traitor, Slickshot.
An Unknown Voice:
Are you sure about that?
The three crew members turn to the entrance. There's someone standing in the open doorway, hidden in the shadows. The Second Crew Member stands up from the table.
Second Crew Member:
Who is that!?
The figure steps forward. It's Slickshot. The three crew members breathe a sigh of relief.
Second Crew Member:
What do you want, Slick?
Slickshot smiles, and rubs his chin.
Slickshot:
What do I want? All I wanted was for everybody to get along. In the end, I'm called a traitor...
Slickshot starts to laugh. The three crew members are confused about Slickshot's response, and are a bit nervous.
Second Crew Member:
...We've made our decision, Slick...
Slickshot stops laughing.
Slickshot:
...So have I.
The Siren jumps over Slickshot, and lets out a shriek! The sound waves knock the Second Crew Member, and the table, over. The two other Crew members are pinned underneath the table. The Second Crew Member falls onto the table on his back. The Second Crew Member slides onto the floor. He looks up, and sees The Siren floating above him. Her hand is open, and three frost knives are in it. She throws them, and they stab the Second Crew Member in his eyes, and through his mouth. His body falls over, and lies limp on the floor. The Siren takes another feather, and lets it fly out of her hand. It goes underneath the table. The Third Crew Member tries to lift the table up. However, the feather turns into an ice spear and stabs the Second Crew Member in the chest. The spear grows, and pushes the Third Crew Member against the table. The table is shoved off of the Fourth Crew Member's body. The Siren flies up to the Third Crew Member with a frost knife, and slices his head off! Slickshot walks up to the Fourth Crew Member, and gets in front of him. He kneels down, and smiles at him.
Slickshot:
You were always the most annoying one out of the trio. I would let my mate finish you off herself, but someone else wants to have a word with you.
Green smoke appears, and it manifests into The Enchantress and The Destroyer. They walk over to Slickshot, and see the Fourth Crew Member on the ground.
The Enchantress:
Well well well. I always wanted to see you in this position.
She leans down, and stares at him.
The Enchantress:
On her hands and knees, looking up at me with a pathetic look on your face.
The Destroyer's eyes glow orange. He leans down. The Crew Member closes his eyes, and winces. The Destroyer touches the Crew Member's head. His body glows orange briefly, and then returns to normal. The Destroyer leans back up.
The Destroyer:
He's all yours now.
The Enchantress:
Finally.
The Enchantress extends her hand, and her eyes glow blue. An ice knife forms in her hand. She puts it in front of the Crew Member.
The Enchantress:
No matter what I did, you always bullied me and called me a "freak..."
The Crew Member's eyes bulge out of his eyes. He knows who she is. She grabs his left arm.
The Enchantress:
Call this... retribution!
Fourth Crew Member:
No! Wait!
She cuts off his arm! He starts screaming.
The Enchantress:
Oh yes! Scream louder! I've waited so long for this moment!
She grabs his right arm, and cuts it off as well! The Enchantress starts to laugh.
Fourth Crew Member:
I'm sorry...
The Enchantress:
What was that? I can't hear you.
Fourth Crew Member:
I'm sorry!
The Enchantress:
Please! I know you're not sorry. How many times did I apologize whenever my powers went awry, and you and your friends still made fun of me!?
The Destroyer reaches down, and grabs the Crew Member by the throat. He lifts him him.
The Destroyer:
I almost ripped your jaw off earlier.
A look of shock appears on the Crew Member's face.
The Destroyer:
Now, Star and Ember aren't here to stop me.
The Destroyer's eyes glow orange. He puts his hand inside the Crew member's mouth, and grabs the inside of his jaw. Then, he rips his jaw off! The Crew Member's eyes glow, trying to heal his body. However, instead of healing, the Crew Member's body begins to melt into mud. He's horrified.
The Destroyer:
Wondering why your body isn't healing? Well, my powers are preventing your body from doing so. Your friend was right about me before. I'm an abomination... and I like it!
He lifts the Crew Member above his head.
The Destroyer:
We are the Synervian Liberation Force. Anyone who gets in our way will be put to slumber, whether you are a creature of light or darkness!
The Destroyer rips the Crew member's body in half! The bodies of the three Crew members turn into orbs. The Enchantress collects them, and looks at them.
The Enchantress:
I tried so hard to get along with you. Now, your spirit orbs belong to me.
A thought occurs to The Destroyer.
The Destroyer:
I know what our next plan of attack will be.
3.3. Surprise Attack.
Back at the Synervian Castle, the wall of the living room is finally repaired. In said room, Embercore and Stareye review the evidence that they have of the Synervian Liberation Force. Stareye's eyes glow white, and a holographic screen appears in front of them.
Stareye:
Okay. Here's what we know so far: The Synervian Liberation Force, or SLF, are made up of four members.
A picture of The Destroyer, and The Enchantress, appears on the screen.
Stareye:
The Destroyer, and Enchantress, seem to be the leaders. They, probably, put Wrathenus to slumber. This is according to The Enchantress. This could be wrong, but we don't know.
Another picture appears on the screen. It depicts The Tracker, and Siren.
Stareye:
Then, we have The Tracker and The Siren. These seem to be subordinate to The Destroyer and Enchantress, doing the latter's dirty work.
Then, profile pictures of the four individuals appear on the screen.
Stareye:
For now, the identities of our four felons remain anonymous. Interestingly, the SLF includes members that are not just fire and earth elementals. Admittedly, this makes their possible motive difficult to determine.
Embercore:
What did Wrathenus, and Technodroid, do to deserve being attacked?
Stareye:
Perhaps, it was the incident at the Creation Crew station? Maybe our suspects were present at the scene, and decided to take Technodroid and Wrathenus down because of that?
Embercore:
The three suspects I had in mind were innocent, so it could've been anyone present at the time.
Stareye's eyes glow white again. He's getting a call. The screen changes to having Technodroid on it.
Technodroid:
Hey guys.
Stareye:
Hey Tech. Is everything alright?
Technodroid:
Don't worry. I'm feeling better. However, I do have a problem.
Embercore:
What is it?
Technodroid:
I tried to call the Creation Crew Members, but I've received no response from them.
Stareye:
Maybe they just need some space?
Technodroid:
I understand that, but I want to keep things in order for Wrathenus. Plus, I feel that I need to apologize for what happened. Can you guys help me out?
Stareye:
Of course.
Technodroid:
Perfect. I'm at the Creation Crew station.
The call ends. Later on, Embercore's vehicle drives up to the workshop. Technodroid is standing outside the building. Embercore and Stareye exit the car, and the car disappears. The two of them walk up to Technodroid.
Embercore:
Are they inside?
Technodroid:
I guess so. I didn't want to do this without you guys.
Technodroid opens the door, and the three of them enter the building. Nobody is inside. The trio spots the table lying on its side. Stareye sniffs the air, but he doesn't catch any scents. Embercore's eyes glow red. She searches for signs of consciousness, but she doesn't find anything. Embercore turns to Stareye.
Embercore:
I can't sense anything.
Stareye:
Neither can I.
They look at each other, and have a realization. They turn to Technodroid.
Stareye:
Tech, we're leaving!
Behind them, the front door is gets covered in green mud. In front of them, The Tracker and Siren appear. The Tracker is hugging The Siren. The Siren super-speeds her way behind the trio. Stareye gets in front of Technodroid, and Embercore gets behind Technodroid. They transform into their superhero suits, and raise their fists.
The Tracker:
I believe it's time for a rematch.
Technodroid:
Who are these guys?
Embercore:
They're our assailants from before. The SLF.
Technodroid's eyes grow wider.
Technodroid:
You mean... You guys are the ones who attacked me, and Wrathenus!?
The Tracker laughs.
The Tracker:
Yes, but the true culprits would be The Enchantress and Destroyer.
The Siren:
The Tracker and I, on the other hand, put your Creation Crew teammates to slumber.
Technodroid frowns, and his eyes glow orange. Then, he bears his teeth. Stareye turns his head back to Technodroid, and sees the rage on his face.
Stareye:
Tech, calm down.
The Tracker:
Yes, Technodroid. Relax. Besides, you three are about to join Wrathenus anyway.
The Siren laughs, and then The Tracker follows suite. Technodroid lunges towards The Tracker. He pushes Stareye out of the way.
Stareye:
Tech, no!
Stareye grabs Technodroid's arm, and stops him from running. The Tracker's body turns into mud, and he swings a fist at Stareye. Stareye gets hit by the mud fist, and is sent backwards. The Siren lets out a shriek at Embercore, and Technodroid! The two of them are sent forward, flying across the room. They hit the wall, and falls to the ground. The Siren runs away from the entrance. The mud on The Tracker's fist engulfs Stareye, encasing im in his fist. The Tracker's arm bursts through the front door. The fist goes to the ground, and encases Stareye in a cocoon. The Tracker's arm breaks in half, and the attached part retracts back inside the station. The Tracker's arm reforms. Embercore and Technodroid looks up, and see The Siren and a muddy The Tracker looking down at them. Embercore puts a hand on Technodroid's shoulder.
Embercore:
Get behind me.
She tries to get up. Suddenly, both Embercore's and Technodroid's eyes turn green. Technodroid's body gets covered in blue ice, and is frozen to the ground. Embercore receives a massive headache. She is being hit with a psychic attack! She puts her hand son her head, and goes back down on the ground. Green smoke appears. It materializes into The Enchantress.
The Enchantress:
Stay right there, Embercore.
Embercore:
You again!
The Enchantress:
That's right. I never properly introduced myself to you last time, didn't I? Call me "The Enchantress."
Embercore:
I swear... that I will... take you down... for Wrathenus!
The Enchantress laughs.
The Enchantress:
Oh, my dear! I share the same sentiment about you, albeit for different reasons.
Embercore gets frustrated.
The Enchantress:
Aw. You look so cute with that angry face you're making.
She extends her arm forward, and rubs Embercore's cheek with her hand. Suddenly, Embercore's body gets covered in blue ice. She tries to break free, but her strength is failing her.
The Enchantress:
You are the true villain, Ember. The SLF are the heroes that Synervia deserves. What we have started cannot be undone. Soon, everything you have will be mine!
The Enchantress' eyes glow brighter, and her psychic attack on Embercore grows stronger. Embercore screams in pain. Outside, the mud cocoon freezes over. Stareye's fist punches through the cocoon, and it falls apart. He gets to his feet, and looks around. He notices that he's outside, and Embercore and Technodroid are nowhere to be found.
Stareye:
Guys!
Stareye runs towards the station. When he enters the building, he sees Technodroid attending to Embercore. She is lying face-first on the floor. Stareye run up to them. He kneels down next to Embercore, and rolls her over.
Stareye:
Ember?
Embercore slowly opens her eyes. Stareye makes a sigh of relief.
Stareye:
Are you okay?
Stareye helps her up to her feet. She puts a hand on her head.
Embercore:
A little beaten up, but I'm alright.
Stareye:
What happened?
Embercore:
The Enchantress. She froze me and Technodroid, and hit me with a psychic attack.
Technodroid looks defeated.
Technodroid:
First Wrathenus, and now my Crew mates. This is all my fault.
Stareye:
I feel like I let you down, too. We're no closer to stopping these people, and they keep getting away with these crimes.
Embercore puts her hand on Stareye's left shoulder.
Embercore:
Hey, I'm not going to give up. As for right now, I think we should leave before we get attacked again.
Stareye:
Yeah.
Embercore turns to Technodroid.
Embercore:
You should stay with us for a little bit, Tech. I don't want anything to happen to you.
Technodroid nods his head.
Technodroid:
Yeah. I'm fine with that.
The three of them begin to leave the building. On a screen at their base, The Lady, The Tracker, and The Siren watch them leave.
3.4. Stareye's Dream.
Stareye, Embercore, and Technodroid land back at Synervian Castle. They enter the building, and Stareye and Embercore transform back into their regular clothes. Technodroid sits on the couch.
Technodroid:
Is it me, or has everything been going wrong as of late?
Stareye:
I think it has.
Embercore turns to Stareye. He still has a look of disappointment on his face. She rubs his back.
Embercore:
I think you should go rest for a bit, Star. We've been working nonstop.
Stareye:
No. I need to focus on find a solu-
Embercore puts a hand on his cheek. She turns Stareye around to face her. Her eyes glow green, and so do Stareye's.
Embercore:
You're frustrated. You won't be able to think straight when you're mad. Just go take a nap okay?
Stareye:
...I will take a nap.
Both of their eyes stop glowing, and return to normal. Embercore smiles.
Embercore:
Good. I'm going to join you to make sure you do that.
Embercore turns to Technodroid.
Embercore:
We'll be back in a bit.
Technodroid:
Roger that.
Embercore and Stareye walk up the stairs to the bedroom. Later on, Stareye and Embercore sleep in their bed. Embercore's hand is on Stareye's chest. Her hand begins to glow green. Stareye starts to have a nightmare. In his dream, he sees a woman standing in front of him in the distance. Her back is turned to him, but she resembles Embercore. Stareye reaches out to her. Suddenly, the ground cracks and crumbles underneath him. He starts falling. He tries to fly, but he can't for some reason. He lands in a large body of water. He tries to swim out of it, but he can't. Underneath the water, something is watching him. A purple tentacle swims up, and wraps around his legs. Stareye is pulled under the water! He extends his hands to freeze the water, but he can't. He reaches down to grab the tentacle. He then sees two giant eyes glowing from below. One of them is green, while the other is yellow. Stareye tries to rip off the tentacle, but it's no use. Another tentacle appears. It's yellow. It grabs the purple tentacle, and rips it in half! The remaining purple tentacle goes back down. The yellow tentacle grabs Stareye, and takes him to the surface. Once he breaches the surface, Stareye gets a good look at the creature that is rescuing him. It's a yellow Octo-Serpent. It puts Stareye on the top of its head. Stareye goes on his hands and knees, and tries to relax.
On the opposing side of the two, the water bursts. Another Octo-Serpent, a purple one, appears. It confronts Stareye and the yellow Octo-Serpent. It charges at the yellow one. The yellow Octo-Serpent grabs Stareye with one of its tentacles, and puts him behind it. Then, it charges at the purple Octo-Serpent. The two serpents collide! Their tentacle mouths bite and rip into each other. Stareye hangs on to the yellow tentacle keeping him safe. the purple octo-snake grans the yellow one by the head, and throws it into the water. One of its tentacles grabs Stareye. Another one grabs the yellow tentacle holding Stareye, and bisects it! The purple serpent opens its mouth, and Stareye is dragged inside...
Stareye wakes up, and leans straight up! He gasps.
Embercore:
Star, relax! It's just a bad dream.
She puts a hand on his cheek, and turns his head around to face her. She's not in the bed, and is standing up.
Embercore:
You're okay, honey.
Stareye closes his eyes, and calms down. He opens them again, and nods his head. Embercore removes her hand from his cheek.
Stareye:
It felt so real! I saw you, and there was-
Embercore:
Don't worry. It wasn't real. I'm right here.
Stareye nods his head, and lies back down.
Stareye:
Yeah... yeah.
Embercore:
Now, relax. Wrathenus and Technodroid are waiting for us downstairs.
Stareye's eyes widen. He leans up, and faces Embercore.
Stareye:
...Who's waiting for us?
Embercore forms a confused smile on her face.
Embercore:
Wrathenus and Technodroid, silly.
Stareye:
...Wrathenus is... missing, Ember. Don't you remember?
Female Voice:
No I'm not.
Stareye's ears perk up. He recognizes that voice. He turns to the doorway, and he sees Wrathenus and Technodroid standing there. Stareye's eyes widen again, and his mouth drops.
Wrathenus:
I'm right here.
Embercore:
Sorry guys. Star had a nightmare.
Stareye gets out of bed, and walks to Wrathenus. He pokes her shoulder. She's real! Everyone else is a bit concerned.
Wrathenus:
I'm real, Star. Trust me.
Stareye can't believe it.
Stareye:
You're real...
A smile forms on his face.
Stareye:
You're back...
He turns to Embercore.
Stareye:
She's back!
Stareye wraps his arms around Wrathenus' and Technodroid' necks.
Stareye:
We're all together again!
Wrathenus and Technodroid look at each other in confusion.
Technodroid:
Yes, Star. We've always been together.
Stareye:
"Always?"
Stareye lets go of them. Technodroid pats him on the head.
Technodroid:
Yep. Always.
Wrathenus:
When did I ever leave?
Stareye tries to remember the incident, but he's drawing a blank.
Stareye:
You... I... I don't remember.
Wrathenus:
That's because I never left.
Stareye runs back to Embercore. He grabs her around her waist, and lifts her up in excitement.
Stareye:
I'm sorry for scaring you guys! So, what did we plan to do?
End of episode 3.
