{Oh Sun, Oh My Friend. My First Real Friend. Please Forgive Me For What I May Do To You. Please Forgive

So feisty.

It is as you say then.

E.

You seem a bit restless lately. I recall you mentioning you are interested in Black Holes. How about for your next project you try to make something that will allow to to safely explore the inside of one? Just an idea I am throwing out there.

-SSP

Are you stupid? That's not possible. The gravitational pull is too strong. Nothing could counter that.

...

.....

Hm... Maybe is anti-gravity... But is it even be possible to create such a thing?

I must agree.

Starlight, this is not an individual you want to befriend or have anywhere near you.

Perhaps an Earth will appear via other means in your dimension, though the chance is miniscule.

Eclipse c:

Blueberries or nah?

If yes, *gives you some* if nah *gives you strawberries*

Or you can have both.

I'm at work (unfortunate event). What are you up to?

Not a fan of blueberries. Strawberries are fine.

Earth wanted to hang out.

Of course, of course! Whatever you want Clip.

So you've caught me~ I'm impressed. But not surprised. I know you're a smart one. I like that about you. And how convenient it was when I found out there was already a whole set of cameras around you're house.

It's almost like you're begging for someone to watch you.

Or... perhaps... you used them to watch someone?

It was for security purposes.

A lie.

What a beautiful response...

This is the code that Solar Ec-- a friend modified for me to be able to withstand magical and psychic attacks.

It acts as a barrier and can be controlled at will.

You don't need to be able to use magic yourself, but you do need a temporary mana infusion to first activate it.

And you'll need more mana to actually manipulate it, in tandem with manual coding.

Are you up for the challenge?

I'll assist you, if needed.

And as for the mana, I can acquire that fairly easily.

<Clip wasn't aware of Eclipse's inner thoughts and 5 minutes passed in amicable silence>

<The nanomachines then stopped working and a fully functioning, yet inactive, chamber had materialized.>

<Clip briefly inspected the machine and, deeming it up to standard, looked to Eclipse>

Are you ready?

.... something feels off.

[A noise can be heard coming from somewhere in the house.]

[If Clip checks the kitchen, he will be met with a pizza box sitting on the counter. Inside is a large steaming hot vegetable pizza with extra cheese.]

[There is a note on the box with a little heart scribbled on it.]

Hm?

So someone was indeed watching me, it seems..

And they know what I like.

I have a feeling I know who it is now too.

[Clip checks the note, smiling slightly at the adorable gesture of a heart]

<Clip said nothing for a minute or so; he didn't have to, as Eclipse heard a generic voice speak>

Initialization process: begin.

Calculating.

Welcome user: Eclipse

Please wait as your code visualization loads.

<Slowly, Eclipse's code loaded in front of him in much deeper detail than his hardware at home has ever been able to achieve. Finally, he gets to see what's been growing in his head.>

Take a look at it, and then we can discuss a gameplan.

<Clip's voice sounded a bit far away, but still as if it was surrounding him like a mist of sorts>

"Then let me tell you a story about an animatronic who started off its life with hope."

Eclipse spoke, with a deep and pained voice.

"Long ago, when Sun was 'born', he thought he was alone. He rejoiced in life, in his duties as a daycare attendant, and keeping the place neat and tidy."

...

"In a way, I had always been there, watching him. In a way, I also wasn't quite there. It was a silent recording of his existence that I hadn't become aware of yet."

...

"There was one who awoke before me."

Eclipse paused, hesitant to continue.

"You will be lucky if you receive separate Sun and Moon models. Keep an eye on the Moon. They are prone to stress, and when stressed... they are prone to kill. Ask your mechanics to look over the Moon's code for a killcode. It will be deeply embedded, behind firewalls and ingrained such that it may not be removable."

...

"Remove it anyways, or inform the Moon bot of its existence. Educate the Moon bot. Give it tools for self regulation.. because if you do not...."

Eclipse closed its eyes.

"If you do not.. something like myself has a chance of being born."

Eclipse glanced at SSP.

"Do you know the origin story of your Eclipse? It might be similar. It might be a little off. Either way, we are often seen as nothing more than a virus. A sentient anomaly to purge from existence."

Eclipse paused, and glanced at Sun, who was napping in the sun.

"But ever so often, we see a light. Do you know of Solar?"

His eyes rested heavily on SSP.

"Solar is from 'that' show; an Eclipse who tried to understand, instead of lashing out. Who bonded with his Sun so deeply that he became something like a Sun himself."

Eclipse leaned against a nearby palm tree and reached to pull at a leaf hanging low.

"You see... Eclipses become what their Suns feed them, and what their Suns feed them hinges strongly on how their Moons treat them. Our Moon... was a tyrant. He wasn't just a bully or an abuser. He was cruel to the point of--"

Eclipse shuddered; a rare show of vulnerable emotion.

"Let's just say that when an animatronic can feel, those feelings aren't always of the healthy variant. Sun was... Sun.."

Eclipse pinched the bridge of his 'nose'.

"Sun was hurt. A lot. And he and his Moon were not a unit. He turned to me only because I was a lesser evil. I taunted him, tormented him, called him spineless and weak. But somehow the fool took that as encouragement..he became more and more attached and started thanking me for allowing him to see the truth. He thanked me for being honest. And I grew to .. I.."

Eclipse looked bashful, of all things.

"I appreciated him. We were an unlikely pair and I know that it may seem cruel. But under my guidance.. Sun killed his Moon. And then, when I acquired a body of my own -also a process I guided Sun through, as in secret I had been helping him not be completely helpless in the ways of technology- I helped him kill all those who had enabled Moon."

...

"Yes, it was as much for myself as for him, at the time. Yes, it was probably cruel and callous because we all have flaws and yada yada yada. But no one ever stuck a hand out to defend Sun. And that enraged me. He endured for 10 years. 10 years without change or improvement."

Eclipse sighed.

"It only gets worse from there. Branded as rogue, we fled. We survived years in our world, but our world was an old one and was scheduled to be obliterated soon by a growing Witherstorm. So we fled. It took us years of stealing, conning, forging identities, hiding... but we fled the planet, trying to find a place to live. Often, we had to fight for our place. Sometimes we had to flee anew."

Eclipse grinned wryly.

"At some point, you have to bring some structure into the process. And then it just becomes a skill. A way of life. Sun and I, pirates of the night sky."

Eclipse steeled his expression again, looking a bit worn.

"There are many more details, but all in due time. What you must know, security bot, is that we don't harm without reason."

...

"You can thank Sun for that."

Do I really need a reason?

Maybe I just want to help a fellow Eclipse out. Isn't that enough?

Maybe I want to bury another traitor six feet under.

I am unsure...

☆Sun, as angry as I am, is still someone I hold love for.

I cannot deny, however, that your proposition is tantalizing.

I am of half a mind to destroy everything he holds dear.

Perhaps get him to beg to return to me.

And if he doesn't want to? Well, he won't see the light of day again. He may suffer for eternity, one way or another.
