Take That Back!

<Sun had briefly snapped out of his anger by the sound of Eclipse's voice. However, another voice joined in.>

Now, now, my star, remember your counting exercises. You can't let the other out like that for something like this.

Come, let's go home.

<Eclipse, Clip, turned to Starlight and the other Eclipse>

Apologies, friends.. Sun has a.. condition. He's not quite himself in the face of authoritive gestures.

I hope there is no harm done.

...

A tracker on his body alerts me of these episodes, so you're not in any danger as long as I'm around to control them.

<Eclipse began to lead Sun away, who was muttering confusedly under his breath. It was easy to tell there was more to this story... a lot more. But would they really want to know?>

You must think you're being real cute, aren't you.

Wait.. please. Where are you going?

< Eclipse grabbed at Sun's ankle as he walked off from the carnage>

To pay a visit to our friends. I must get rid of all nuisances.

No, they haven't done anything.. Sun!

<Sun turned around>

You know, Sun loved you. Tolerated you and put up with you. But you just had to go and try pull out the thorn, didn't you. Couldn't accept his .. imperfections, could you? Because everyone-- everyone needs to be perfect like you are!

Look at you, even now, before the end of the day you'll have repaired yourself. Always prepared.

But in the meantime....

<A sinister grin spread over the moveable half of Sun's face>

Suffer.

<Sun kicked Eclipse's face in one last time, to add insult to injury>

Who are you...

All a few individuals got from Eclipse's signal was just one word: RUN.

With corrupted footage of the last 10 minutes attached.

@eclipse83

Coincidentally also intercepted by @lunargrovedaycare

And to @insults-by-sun a single: help...

Wait.

Did they just tell me they .. love me?

It's a shame. A real shame.

But your feelings are holding you back. That little stain has made it clear he doesn't want anything to do with you. So why hold onto such hopeless feelings.

Oh I already have so many ideas.

We should kidnap that other Eclipse. He's the one keeping the traitor active. What fun would there be to torment a dormant spirit after all. Oo that rhymes~ Torment a dormant spirit. As much as I hate hurting another Eclipse... He did ask for it by helping the little cockroach. Right after you'd been so nice to him too. Ungrateful asshole. And it seems your dear Sunny has developped a soft spot for him.

So what do you think?

Hmm, you may be right.

On both accounts.

Still, Eclipse did me a courtesy... it would be awfully rude.

I'm not entirely opposed, however.

Do share your ideas, darling.

Sometimes we whisper to the night, when the night can do naught but listen.

I don't know if you can even hear me in there, Sun.

But I want you to know that I regret it.

Every day spent with you, I grow tired, more and more, of not saying it properly.

The words I hold back, the things I leave unsaid. They weigh heavy.

I express to you every way I can, how much you truly mean to me, but the fear lingers, twining around my fingers like serpents of dread.

What if you don't feel the same? What if you laugh in my face? Pity me? Recoil in disgust?

Would you? I'm unsure if I could bear it.

Even now, I start and stop, just short of speaking my mechanical heart to you. I envision an awkward laugh, a step back. Rejection.

At the very least, perhaps, I can cherish you as a friend. If you'll still have me then. You'll always have me, after all...

...

Dear Sun, if nothing else, survive, and at the very least ... don't let my last words be goodbye.

E., with heavy yet great affection.

It's none of your business.

Ouch, alright... sorry. I'll leave you alone.

- Sun

Tsk.

I mean. I am no scientist but given what I have l learned and experienced recently "Impossible" seems much smaller than it used to be.

You developed a means to punch holes between realities out of what mostly appeared to be boredom, Eclipse. Within weeks. So forgive me if I thought that something else completely insane like that was within your abilities.

-SSP

Heh. I'm flattered you think I could make a portal in only a few weeks. But that portals represents months of work.

Sure. Exploring a blackhole might not be entirely impossible. But it'll most certainly take a bit longer than the portal.

[???]

[Where did you guys find that?]

Oh! You didn't know?

Perhaps I could teach you a thing or two?

I'm fairly experienced by now; I've had years to practice and various mentors (some a little unwilling but Eclipse likes to make deals..... or threats...)

I can definitely teleport over but I'll be completely depleted upon arrival? I suggest an extension cable... or a strong friend..

Oh sheesh. Hm. You make a good point with the tracking.

I can. I can.. but my gosh, there's only a 60% change I'll arrive in one piece. What are the chances you'll have spare parts available for a Sun model? Oh and don't be afraid, I don't look like your typical sun. Like Eclipse, one half of my face is fully black.

His personal touch on me~

What the heck, I trust you- let's do it!

@lost-in-space-sun

Hello Sun! SSP here! Whenever you feel up to it, could you give me the contacts of people who you think would be able to assist you? Or at least tell me what sort of people I should be looking for?

Maybe you achieved enlightenment, like you wanted

Thinking of an old friend..

Where are you?

You taught me so much.

All my magic, it comes from your essence, your mind.. your core.

But then you left without goodbye.

Mirror self, are you still out there?

Are you still alive?

Sun?
