Chapter Text
"What... what do you mean save Sun from himself?" the digital ghost chuckled "Oh, you thought I went off the deep end when Solar died but, what happened with me has nothing on Sun" the double snapped its fingers and they were both pulled into a rush of data and code. Said code shifting like grains of sand to reform into a memory, just one that Moon did not remember being a part of.
Honestly seeing Sun with his hands around KS throat and, engulfed in flames no less, seemed more a nightmare than a memory. Yet there he was, his beloved brother with flaming hands around the killer's throat and, if their faceplates would allow it Moon imagined his brother would have a look of murderous rage in his eyes that would put the Kill Code to shame.
It just felt wrong... it had to be....
"This... how do I know this is not a fake" he regarded the ghost with a suspicious glance; he would trust a rabid bear with his life savings before he trusted some digital ghost of Nexus taking him on a supposed trip down memory lane. The double did not seem offended or annoyed "Oh trust me its real, I honestly did not think Sun had it in him but, when the Family could not think up an answer and the Sanctuary and Haven failed to fix your memory... well I guess Sun hit his limit" it looked back to Moon with a wicked grin.
"And, KS had it coming really, offering to take you out back like a rabid dog..... well... lets just say he got the wrong dog" "Sun... he could not... I mean there is a difference between KS and well....." the double chuckled "Sun killed Nexus in a moment of desperation and despair but KS..... last I heard he is still alive though I have a feeling he wishes he was not" the ghost actually spat at the ground now "He's Tyrant's plaything now... even Titan was impressed by the imaginative cruelty" Moon blinked in confusion, he was getting good at telling when a memory was snatched now but, this felt more like the ghost had lapsed into thought or Moon had not been paying attention.
Just who was Tyrant, they were talking about Sun.... right?
"Ty.... what are you talking about I thought this was Sun we were discussing" the Nexus double shook its head "Oops jumped the gun there.... and your the one who is supposed to be having the memory issues" another finger snap and the memory in the code shifted and changed, transforming into what looked like a cross between Atlas's old home and Moon's own lab "This is less a memory and more a recreation since you were not there at the time" Moon narrowed his eyes in suspicion and the double raised a hand "Hey trust the source of Monty and Solar over the messenger" he replied before pointing into the image has the two entered the scene.
"After Sun's.... justifiable blow up at KS he ran off for awhile... took the family about a month and a half to find him" Moon wanted to run into the memory at the sight of the prone form of his brother in the centre of the chamber and the magic circle. He was inert and looking much like a puppet with cut strings that, for the briefest moment, Moon feared he was dead; a sentiment shared by past Monty and Solar.
That was until someone spoke out of view in the silent memory and a stranger walked into view.
"Sun... after everything decided it was time for a change... both in attitude and body" the figure that approached was like a cross between a day care attendant and a knight; glistening red and gold armour with a blood red cape decorated with bells. He might have looked heroic were it not for the soulless black eyes and rictus grin on a now ornate looking face. "He was going to be more proactive with the threats to the family by any means and, was not going to let anyone get in his way" before Solar and Monty could move, never mind protest they were thrown back by a magical aura has, like a phoenix of legend the transformed Sun vanished in a burst of flame.
It might have been cool if it was not so ominous.
"He even took a new name with the magic enhanced body and, given the fact he is out there waging a war of conquest against all creation I think Tyrant seems fitting don't you?"
