Hmm, That Should Do It.

<Sun could be heard humming ever so often throughout his time charging, trying not to think of what became of Eclipse>

Thank you, once more.

And .. you did what you had to. We all did.

Hello my friends! Starlight here! I do not quite know how time works between different realities, but here it was recently New Year's Day! My first actually! It was rather chaotic the night before (so many human adults acting rather like children, my goodness gracious) but I got to see Fireworks! I loved them, they were so beautiful! They look a bit like how magic feels, if that makes any sense. Color and wonder and light and awe. Or um, something like that, ha ha.

Again, I do not know how time works for you, but regardless I thought I would wish you a Happy New Year! And that this New Year be filled with Joy and Peace for you both!

Gosh, I never imagined they'd go to him for help!

He already doesn't want to help me; why would he help someone else in helping me...

Weeping

I rather miss talking to him though.

Hmpf, even if he was mean to me. He reminded me of Clipse just a little.

No need to panic. I'm rather pleased at your confession.

That little cockroach really didn't deserve you. How could he ever match your greatness.

You are just like me. We devote ourselves to the ones we love.

Hmm~

You're lovely.

I have a rather disturbing predicament on my hands as of now though.

There are.. core files being corrupted as we speak.

I couldn't kill a radiant thing..

How could they have found the house.

I've managed to salvage the cats but there's not much else left.

This means war.

Oh Eclipse... Eclipse.

It's a shame he chose to become my enemy.

I would have loved to have been his.. friend, accomplice ?

We could have done marvellous things together.

But alas, he is soft.

Gentle even.. although he doesn't dare admit such to himself.

Even ☆Sun, I had molded into harder stuff.

Stronger stuff.

Although he proclaims to have left all that behind.

Tch.

He thinks he can escape years of conditioning that easily?

I made him perfect, and he threw it all away.

And for what?

An inferior version of myself?

Pathetic.

To think I tried to play by his rules; be "nicer" to others.

Such tedium.

Yet.. you.. came.

<Eclipse faded out as Sun² worked on him. They worked fast but not fast enough.>

<Everywhere Sun stepped, he wreaked carnage.>

No, it wasn't Sun anymore, was it?

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 put 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.

Coincidentally also intercepted by @lunargrovedaycare

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

I'm finding so many Eclipses.

How peculiar

~✒️

Welcome to the Internet, I suppose.

Why, Sun, didn't we let your friend know what became of you?

How neglectful of us.

Starlight, Sun is just fine under my care.

We are at a rest location while Sun recovers from his injuries in our last ordeal.

Come, if you so wish.

There is much to chat about, and perhaps you can relax a bit on the beach.

@es-startravel

Hello!? Hello!? Sun, This is Starlight Security Puppet! If it is safe for you to do so, can you please tell me where you are?

I came back from my dayshift rounds to check on you and I cannot find you anywhere! And I still have the cameras blacked out in parts and service so I do not know when you left or where you went!

I can not find you via any of the active cameras in the pizzaplex so I assume you are either hiding or have left the pizzaplex entirely.

Are you safe? I am not sure if you are in good enough condition to be out and about!
