Something about Moon Plains rubbed Commander Moon the wrong way. It was as if she’s been here before, but she could never recall any moments saying so. Perhaps it was in a dream that Shining Skies brought her here or something.
Commander Moon’s heart leaped when she spotted Zeval standing beside Baruti Landson appearing troubled. Beside him, Baruti Landson was gently rocking a bandaged Stray Dog while cooing at him. Did Stray Dog get injured?
“Where’s Sochi?” asked Commander Moon. She quickly glanced at Nurse Molly who was doing a face palm while frowning. Did the dinosaur happen to fail his mission?
“My leader took him and injured the dog,” Zeval explained. His bright blue eyes burned into Commander Moon’s, and she realized how angry he was at her. “I thought I told you to stop messing around with Group 16!”
Riverbird stepped forward with her usual annoyed look. “Excuse me, we’re dealing with Mr. Heart!” She snapped.
Zeval lifts a finger before frowning and doing a face palm. Had they done something wrong? Clearly so, seeing that he wasn’t too pleased by Riverbird’s answer. Unless he knows something about Mr. Heart.
Since there was an awkward silence, Baruti stepped in. “Well, Poem told me that Mr. Heart uses a potion that dazes people,” he explained looking worried. “The scent was like lilacs.”
Hearing that, Riverbird looked at Commander Moon who frowned. “That’s what happened to you,” she growled. Did Lionpool fill her in on the details of what happened the other day? She then shifts her gaze to Zeval. “Do you have any idea of where Mr. Heart took the prisoners?”
Without answering, Zeval looked away before snapping his fingers. A dark purple Shadow Portal appeared, and out of it came a young girl with light brown hair carrying Bluebell in her arms. Behind her, another kid walks out wearing dark clothes and a hoodie to which Commander Moon assumed was Giovanni.
The kid smiled and started waving at Commander Moon who waved back. “This is Galleria, a good friend of mine,” Zeval told Commander Moon with wide grin, something she hadn’t seen in a while. “I’m still locating where Kong and Blue Pig are.”
“We can help,” Commander Moon chimed. She flinched when Zeval glared at her. What is his problem with accepting help?
Zeval steps away from a curious Baruti as he goes to place a hand on Galleria’s shoulders. She smiles and let Bluebell down who rubs his head against her leg while purring. After saying goodbye, Galleria headed back into the Shadow Portal.
Before Zeval goes, he turns to face Commander Moon. “Don’t let Mr. Heart trick you, okay?” He told the purple molly.
Riverbird snorts. “She’ll probably get tricked like before.” Commander Moon gasped as she scowled at her Doctor. What was with that snide remark?
It didn’t help that Zeval rolled his eyes before heading inside the Shadow Portal. Once the Portal vanished, Riverbird pads over to Bluebell who is gazing after the Portal with longing. “It’s time to get you home, kid,” She meowed.
Bluebell stepped back. “NO! I want to stay with you guys!” He yowled before bolting past them. Baruti covered his mouth with one hand as they watched the indigo tom race back towards camp.
“What was that for?” Commander Moon asked confused.
Giovanni slips his hood off as he sighs. “The young tom hasn’t gotten along with his siblings lately,” he told the Moon Family Commander.
But Fawn was worried about him, Commander Moon thought with worry. Could it be that the other three had been arguing with Bluebell? There was no way the light brown molly would travel all the way to Moon Family just to receive help from them.
“We should get going,” Commander Moon meowed. Riverbird nodded and the two left, leaving Nurse Molly to stay back with Baruti, Giovanni, and Stray Dog.

The sun was high in the sky by their return, and the two stopped at the entrance when Trainee Feather approaches them with a wide smile. “Villie has successfully given birth to three kits,” Trainee Feather purred.
“They were a bit early,” Riverbird exclaimed. She then smiled and started purring. “However, I knew you had it in you.”
Commander Moon strayed away from the two when she noticed Lostleap approaching her. “Bravetiger came by and complained about Murphy pacing on their territory,” Lostleap sighed.
“Pfft, Murphy’s just an ally, not an actual member,” Commander Moon laughed.
“That’s what I said,” Lostleap meowed while laughing.
As Commander Moon laughed, she stopped when she felt a sudden chill go down in her spine. “Time is wasting, find Epic Supreme before the next moon,” Enki growled.
Commander Moon lowered her ears. Why was her friend suddenly acting cold towards her?
