Solarballs Infect

*Uranus growls, clutching face* You'll pay for that! *lunges forward with surprising speed*

*kicks Uranus in the balls*

*Uranus doubles over* AGH! You... *collapses*

*Uranus starts sparking violently, the infection making him shake* No... NO! *tries to stand but falls* This isn't... over... *his body convulses one last time before going completely still*

*Sun grins* How could I forget? My loyal little doggy.

what? *barks*?

What's wrong with you? *narrows eyes*

*ears droop* Nothing... just worried about you *steps back*

*The Sun's eyes flicker for a moment* Miss me? You should fear me! *voice cracks slightly before hardening* Nobody misses the old me.

*Uranus starts sparking violently, the infection making him shake* No... NO! *tries to stand but falls* This isn't... over... *his body convulses one last time before going completely still*

*freezes mid-lunge, arms twitching* I... I can't... *voice cracks* Stay back! *body trembles as infection fights kindness*

*voice strengthens* Thank you...

*Neptune tears up* A rock... that's nice? *pets Pebble shakily*

*ears perk up hopefully* He's better! *tail wags* See? Pebble's making friends!

*Earth hugs Neptune* You're back!
