Moon asks Astro, "So, you're a goddess princess?"
Astro sighs and answers, "Is that really important right now? Think about it for a second. A being stronger than any human nor demon that you have dealt with combined. I don't have more than three percent of my power."
He questions, "So..."
She explains "So... in your words, we are fucked. The weaker you are, the less you are restricted by Gaia. So these Angels over there are so much weaker than I that they have more power than I on Earth. Their is only one way out of this problem but it sucks for both parties."
"What is it?" Moon pleaded to Astro.
Before Astro speaks, Jophiel says, "I am here for a mission. Aphrodite has a will, and I am here to complete it. Please understand, princess. Also, good job, Lucy. You have paid your debt. Your cancer will be cured."
Lucy bows to Jophiel and says, "Thank you. I will be forever grateful."
Jophiel says, "Truth be told. You were already cured when you became a half-angel, but I had to test you. I apologize, dear."
Astro interrupts Jophiel's conversation and says, "I don't care about your deals nor what you're planning. Aphrodite can do her own dirty work for all I care, but what does it have to do with my human?"
Jophiel laughs and says, "I work for her because the almighty one wants me to work for more loving beings. I would love to be by his side. Oh, how I yearn to be near his presence. Just his glance is full of undying love and compassion."
Moon feels sick from all the words coming out of Jophiel's mouth. He thinks, "And I thought Hikari was too much."
Astro says, "What does this have to do with my human?"
Jophiel says, "Aphrodite has a quest for him."
She asks, "How? How is that possible? He shouldn't be visible to the gods?"
Jophiel says, "Did you curse him? How would it be impossible to be seen by the gods? Most of the gods love watching him. The gods who can see the future do fear him because they can't see his future."
Astro says, "Did they lie? My plan. Our plan is going to end in ruins if they find out. I need to protect him til the time of the big showcase. I can't make him a champion of the gods if I don't have the time to build him up."
Moon says, "What do you mean, Astro? Am I just some actor in your show? What are you planning with me?!"
His doubts are becoming rage at being used.
Dev wakes up.
Moon says "Fuck this!"
Moon tries to walk away, but can't.
Jophiel says, "I can't let you go just yet." Jophiel used his Authority called "Lovebind". Any being that feels love will be bound depending on their strength levels."
Astro says, "An Authority. So unfair. Listen, Moon, trust me just this once."
Moon says, "Why should I trust you? All you do is use me. I am here for your stupid great purpose. To think the first person I decided to start to open up to just tries to use me."
Astro pleads with Moon and says, "I'm ... I'm sorry. You were the first human I have ever meant. The only ones I know of are from storybooks. All I had as a child were books or fake people praising me. My own sister doesn't talk to me. I dreamed of meeting humans my whole life, but you know what. The first human I meant was nothing like the humans from epics nor from any cursed books. Yet you were real. You are and were a disappointment. I hate you. I resent being with you. You are the worst human being I have ever met. You ruined humans for me. Given the choice, I would like nothing to do with you. You are rude, weak, and very idiotic."
Moon shouts, "What do you think you are better than me? You think you are miss perfect just because you are a god and I am a human. I am not your tool. I am not an object, and you don't know the first thing about me."
Astro shouts back, "You know nothing about me either. Why would I try to understand a being that is under me and below other humans? You don't try. You don't face problems, nor do you work hard for anything. You have given up. I don't know why I try with you."
Jophiel and Lucy watch with different expressions. Lucy wants to go. Jophiel is very intrigued by these mixed emotions. He wants to learn even more.
Moon says, "I will trust you for once, but you will explain everything later, and I mean it. I will walk away from you."
Astro says, "And with this you can't." She bites her thumb til it bleeds, then flicks the blood into his mouth.
She says, "Enjoy this, you sick freak."
Jophiel shouts, "What have you done?!" Jophiel is boiling with anger and worry.
Astro hugs Moon and says, "I will make him perfect since we will be stuck together forever. Jophiel, you should have acted instead of watching, and now it is too late."
Astro and Moon are now contained within a barrier.
Lucy asks, "What is next?"
Jophiel says, "To think she is willing to make a contract with a human like that. She would risk her life for him. Is that love? I must see this to the end? Is this your will, almighty one?"
Hikari says, "Are we too late, Umbra?"
Eclipse says, "We will have to do what we can!"
