Tim and Rei were now standing side by side.
Tim was ready to head back home after all those events and Rei was ready go back to her orphanage with her usual gloomy look.
Tim smiled."It's already too late! I have to go back home or my parents will worry about me. Don't worry, I will come back tomorrow."
Rei trying to act annoyed said. "
I don't want to see your face again. You can leave me alone."
But thenโ
Suddenly shadows stretched behind them.
Before either of them could process, a cold wind swept through the park-unnaturally sharp, like the breath of some ancient void.
The shadows around them twisted and deepened.
The stars above flickered, then dimmed-like the sky itself was holding its breath.
Tim suddenly looked pale. "Um! What's... happening? I'm... uh..a..scared."
Rei trembled slightly sensing something dangerous. " IโI don't get... it... but it's not looking good."
Then, with a low hum that turned into a deafening roar, the darkness split open, and from it descended figures cloaked in obsidian armor,eyes glowing.
Every step they took cracked the earth beneath them.
Tim grabbed Rei's hand instinctively in fear. She didn't pull away and was feeling unsettled.
Tim finally muttered. "Th...There is only one option....run."
With that he tried to dash out of the way grabbing Rei's hands as he ran with pure instinct.
But before they could escape โ
Chains of dark tendrils erupted from the ground, wrapping around their arms and legs like living snakes. The world spun, air vanished, and then-
Blackness.

Tim and Rei awoke, trapped inside glowing capsules - Tim's pulsed with a brilliant gold light, while Rei's radiated a cold dark blue hue.
The soldiers spoke in hushed tones.
"These Earthlings..." one muttered. " No mistake they radiate the same aura."
Another nodded. "The boy has to be the... Solar Warrior and the girl
...the Lunar Warrior. They are definitely the ones from the prophecy."
As the ship was leaving Earth, heading for Soluna, fate began to shift.
For watching from the shadows were two figures - Henry and Marie.
Henry, a Solar man with golden hair like a burning sun.
Marie, a Lunar woman with flowing blue hair, as serene as the night sky.
"We have to move now," Henry whispered, his hand tightening around his Solar Blade.
Marie placed a hand on his shoulder. "We can't save them both, Henry. The security around the girl's capsule - it's too strong."
Henry's jaw clenched. "We can't just leave her."
Marie's voice broke slightly. "If we try, we lose them both."
With grim resolve, the pair struck. Shadows clashed with light as Henry's Blade cut through the soldiers, while Marie wielded her Dagger with lethal precision.
They fought their way to the capsules - the boy's and the girl's.
Tim stared wide-eyed as the glass of his capsule shattered suddenly, Henry pulling him out in one swift motion.
"Who are you?!" Tim stammered.
"No time to explain," Henry replied.
But as Marie reached for Rei's capsule, a dark force field erupted, throwing her back. Sunburn's voice echoed through the chamber.
"Did you really think you could steal all my prey?"
A wall of flames separated Rei from her would-be rescuers.
The last thing Tim saw as Henry dragged him away was Rei trapped, pounding weakly against the glass, her mouth forming a silent word:
Tim.
Henry and Marie barely escaped with Tim, slipping away in a stolen escape pod as Sunburn's ship surged toward Soluna.
As they rocketed into the stars, Tim clutched Henry's arm.
"Rei - we have to go back for Rei!"
Henry's expression was hard, his gaze locked on the glowing planet in the distance.
"We can't," he said softly.
Tim didn't understand. He didn't know why his chest ached or why his heart screamed her name - Rei - a girl he had barely met, yet felt destined never to forget.
For as they crossed the threshold into Soluna's atmosphere, a strange pulse of energy rippled through Tim's mind.
His last memory of Rei - of her black spiraled hair, her quiet sadness - faded into oblivion.
The screen was covered by darkness and last thing being heard was the screams of the children seperated.
When Tim will be in contact with Solunar atmosphere, his memories of Rei will be gradually erased due to some mystery related to the prophecy and same will also happen to Rei as her memories of Tim will be erased by the ones who abducted her.
