Stein's Laboratory

[Etherian]

Details later

[Etherian]

Stein brought the Weapon and Etherian, letting them rest from the exhausting encounter, as they were sleeping, he used the time to "investigate" their unconscious bodies.
A few hours passed until they woke up.

[Luna Uchiha]

Luna woke up, a massive pain and acheing in her body. She was depressed, highly and her will to live wasn't far from disappearing. "Stein..." she groaned opening her eyes slowly.
She wanted to die right now, for her life to end.

[Etherian]

Nothing was heard, and on a stretcher at her side, Etherian woke up as well, yawning.

-Wha... whats...?

He turned to look at Luna.

-Hey....

He greeted with a feint voice.

[Luna Uchiha]

"Hi..." she said trying to sit up, but felt too much pain. "STEIN!" she managed to get out, yelling before she felt herself get weak once again. He soul wavelegnth was hovering dangerously around descending into madness or dieing. she didn't want to be weak. Luna felt a hole in her heart where selena had betrayed her, sucking up any positive mood she had.

[Etherian]

Walking inside the room, the familiar figure of Stein approached, holding a huge needle on his arms. Both Etherian and Luna would realize by nw that they were handcuffed to the stretchers they were laying on.
Etherian was struggling as Stein proceeded to inject Luna in the neck with the healing serum he hold in the needle.

-You were close to die, both of you...

He commented as he finished.

[Luna Uchiha]

"I realize that now... Thanks i guess..." she said trying to form her arm into a blade but with no success. "Might i ask, why do you have us chained up?" she asked the professor.

[Etherian]

-Both were feral when i brought you...

He replied almost inmediatly.

-The poison you took was too much, and if you moved it could be too difficult not to kill you, while curing and studying~

[Luna Uchiha]

Luna's eyes went wide. "Stein... please tell me you didn't "swap toes" in the name of science." she said, she turned to look over to eather, trying to check to make sure he didn't have any of her body parts or vice versa.

[Etherian]

-Was a rutinary Soul Study preocedure, you'll be fine~

He replied waving his hand.

-May i ask anything suspicious you noticed about those Witches?

[Luna Uchiha]

"they were targeting selena. and they were grouped together, roughly being the same power level. i can only assume they were minions or pawns to something larger. And can i please have my hans back please? i hate being confined." Luna said, tugging at the restraints as her body began to regain energy.

[Etherian]

-You cant, both cant...

He took a cig from his pocket and put it on his mouth.

-Both went feral, each one close to madness, WAY too much.

Stein lighted the cigarette and continued.

-Why you think i did the procedure?

Taking a smoke he walked to the door and staying there, he finally said.

-Your bodies need to rest for a day to return to normal.

[Luna Uchiha]

"Professor stein, with all due respect, i want to be free. I know what i need to do and i can keep myself out of madness. I want out." she said, keeping calm. her voice was normal and flat. "And if i can't be let out, then bring me a mirror or something to speak to lord death through." she said.

[Etherian]

-What you need to report?

He asked slightly turning his head at her.

[Luna Uchiha]

"The battle, the encounter. witches, everything. and to be honest, i'd rather speak to him directly. Ok? I would have contacted him myself, but you refuse to let me go. and i don't want any details lost in transition with a middle man. Is that understandable?" she asked him rather kindly.

[Etherian]

-Talk like you were in front of him now...

Etherian sspoke for the first time saying those words.

-I got an hologram of you right where he is, you can report now

The Kenshin grinned confident.

[Luna Uchiha]

Luna shrugged and continued. "Lord Death. Witches attacked the city. they had atleast one kishin with them. One of the witches used darkness and another had control over bee's. i'm not sure but i think they might have hired people inside the city." Luna said and her head hung low. "They took selena as well... i tried my best to protect her... but i failed..." she said and tears began to well up in her eyes. "That is all..." she said ending her report.

[Etherian]

As soon as she finished, Etherian nodded to the air, like listening, which he was indeed doing, hearing Death's reply, for a second, Etherian's eyes widened, he looked at Luna worried, then nodded one last time and cut off the transmission.
Once finishing, he let out a sigh.

-He wants Stein to go...

[Luna Uchiha]

"Stein to go what? Eth, please tell me. selena is my life and if i don't get her back, i'll go mad." Luna said and gave an angry, yet stronger tug on the restraints. She was trying to think of what to do, how she could go after Selena, there had to be a way.

[Etherian]

-He needs to give instructions to him...

He replied to Einstein, who walked his way besides Luna and pulled out another needle.

-Stay quiet

Einstein said with a serious tone. holding up the needle.

-I got no problem sedating you for a week, but at the same time, i dont want to deal with the papers of you missing classes, so here's the deal...

The Meister took another deep smoke and continued.

-I will free you two AFTER i return, and you'll do exactly as i say, and eventually, we'll get your friend. BUT, if you move from this place, the Shibusen will consider you both a menace, and i'll hunt you down personally, even if only one dissobeys, the two shall pay, deal?

[Luna Uchiha]

"Stein, you know as well i do that i won't sit around. Sedating me will only make me go insane when i wake up. The girl is my life and i'm willing to die to get her. I'm not going to sit around and wait to do things by the book while someone i have a chance to save, falls to madness and lands herself on the path to becoming a kishin. All of this pain and damage i took was voluntary. i care about her." Luna argued.

"Now, how long will this take for you to speak to death?" she asked him.

[Etherian]

-You think that with your level you can beat me?

He simply asked, and after a few seconds of silence, he proceeded.

-Who has your friend captive, might be ten times stronger than me, maybe as strong or close to Death-sama... and will probably keep her close, on a place we know nothing about, probably infested with Witches...

He paused and stared at her eyes.

-You think you gain something dying like that? That with your current level you'll do more than produce anguish to that precious friend?

Cutting the seriousness, je turned on a joky face and said.

-About the time, well, depends on Death-sama~

He chuckled.

[Luna Uchiha]

Luna sighed. "Well, please make it quick with him. and try to let ether know how long it will take. Odds are i won't be in the restraints by the time you get, back, but i'll be here. Is that ok with you? i might want to eat something and stretch a bit. i don't like being couped up." Luna said. She rolled her shoulders, trying to stretch them. "I'm in no condition to be out in the desert, even if i tried. I know i might make it to some hole and wind up crawling along the sand still searching for her." The weapon said trying to think of how to get to the food.

"And i'd go to the ends of the earth for her. Just please don't restrain me, ok? I'm not in too happy of a mood right now." She said and held her wrists up, gesturing for him to take them off.

[Etherian]

He smiled at her kindly and released her wrists. He walked towards Etherian and did the same.

-Im against training Kenshins, but Death's orders probably include your safety...

He sighed and looked back at Luna.

-You will rest until tomorrow, by then we'll take you to another place, a sealed place where you both can train.

Stein walked his way back to her side and rubbed her head.

-You have the resolve, yet still need more wisdom, and fights over your body to go into such an adventure...

The man turned his back to both and finally said.

-Tomorrow, you'll learn to be a team.

[Luna Uchiha]

"Just make it back here quickly." Luna said rubbing her wrists looking over at ether. "What sorts of affinities do you have?" she asked him, wanting to know how useful he'd be.
