Moon Knight: We're here!

The four of you all stood up and moved to the cockpit where you looked out the window. Vormir. Looks as scary as it sounds.

Tyrone: Do we know if this place is inhabited?

Y/N: Nope. And that's why we need to stay on guard.

Moon Knight: I'll stab the first sign of life I see.

He pulled out his knife and suddenly stabbed your leg which caused you to fall over. Everyone looked at him.

Moon Knight: He was the first sign of life I saw.

Y/N: Ow.

Moony flew the ship down to the planet to land it.

The ship finally touched down and everyone grabbed their gear. You opened the hatch doors and stepped out. You could breathe just fine here. You turned back to the others to see that they were ok as well. Everything looked so, dead.

Cat: Talk about giving me the creeps.

Tyrone: What's the plan chief?

You looked around before you spotted a large tower like structure not too far away.

Y/N: A group of us will head up there. The rest will stay here and guard the ship.

Tyrone: I can stay. If something happens then I can teleport the ship away.

Cat: I should stay to. I'll be able to fight.

Y/N: Ok then. Moony, Molly, you're with me.

Moon Knight: Sounds good to me. Let's find some aliens.

Molly: Uh, shouldn't we avoid any threats?

Moon Knight: If we were pussies!

You and Molly looked at each other before shaking your heads. Looks like this was a family trip. You told the others your goodbyes before Moony hugged Cat. He lifted her off the guard and slightly shook her.

Moon Knight: I'll be back my little kitten. Don't go dying on me.

Cat: Ahhh, I won't!

Moony set her down before scratching the sweet spot under chin, which she allowed.

Molly: We'll be back before you know it!

Tyrone: You three better stay safe. Pretty sure Robbie and Sam would kick our asses if something happens.

You nodded and turned back towards the tower. The three of you headed out toward it. As you walked, the weird water like liquid below you splashed under your boots.

Y/N: What is this stuff?

Moon Knight: No clue. Water on another planet? Reed would probably spend a week just looking at it.

Molly: Oh yeah, you two went to college together.

Moon Knight: Right. I was supposed to go on the expedition with him to. They declared me mentally unstable for some reason.

You and Molly looked at each other.

Y/N: I can think of a few reasons.

Moon Knight: But look at this! The Strikers from past and present, working together toward a common goal!

Y/N: Yeah. This is kinda cool. This is your first Striker mission in, like, 24 years.

Moon Knight: Yep. Before I went rouge. But I'm glad it's with you two.

Molly: Us to Moony. You'll be joining the Knights in Wakanda when we get back, right?

Moon Knight: That's the plan. Skullfucker needs me to help them. Plus I want to see my niece again

That's right. You left Elise with Victor. You wondered how they were doing.
--------
Victor: Ok, you can come down now.

Elise: Nuh huh.

Victor had his hands raised toward the four year old was was sticking to the wall as she giggled.

Victor: Please?

Elise: Nope. I'm a dragon! See?

She blew a ball of fire which Victor avoided.

Victor: Dear god.
--------
They were probably fine. Anyway, you finally made it to the tower. Now that you were actually here, it looked much like one you would see out of a fairy tale. Well, if the tower was old, mostly destroyed, and seemingly abandoned.

Molly: I don't think the Stone is here.

???: You seek the Stone?

The three of you immediately got into fighting form at the voice. Your senses weren't going off, but your instincts kicked in.

Y/N: Who's there?

Moon Knight: Show yourself. I'll only stab you a little.

???: I bring you no harm. I am the guardian of the Soul Stone. Come. Walk tall and meet me on top of the tower.

You looked at the other and Molly shrugged. Looks like you were going to the top of the tower. You looked up and spotted a set of stairs that would lead you up. As you ascended, you wondered what all of this entailed. The Soul Stone was here. You were going to actually get it.

You finally reached the top where you found a ledge that dropped straight down. Standing on it, was a specter dressed in all black.

???: So, you are here.

Molly: Uh, where is here exactly?

???: The home of the Soul Stone. The place where you will make the ultimate choice to prove your worthiness.

Y/N: That sounds, rough. Are we fighting a dragon or...

The specter turned around so that you could see his face.

???: No. You will trade a soul, for a soul.

Moon Knight: Red Skull? Thought you were dead! Nazi bastard.

Y/N: What do you mean we have to trade a soul for a soul?

Red Skull: In order to gain the Stone, you must sacrifice what you love. Trade a life, and the Stone is yours.

You looked at Molly and Moony confused. Was he saying, that one of you had to die? Why?

Red Skull: You must chose. If you do not, you will not get the Stone.

Molly: Uh, one sec. Please?

She grabbed you and Moony and dragged you both off to the side.

Molly: Ok. What the fuck?

Moon Knight: One of us has to sacrifice ourselves for the Stone. This sucks.

Y/N: No way. No one is dying. We can just leave. Thanos, probably doesn't have someone he loves enough to get the Stone. Right?

Moony and Molly looked down in thought.

Y/N: Guys?

Moon Knight: We can't risk it kid. If that purple fuck even has the slightest edge, it could be trouble. We need to do this.

Molly: But who?

Moony looked at you and quickly realized why.

Y/N: No. No no no.

Moon Knight: It has to be me kid. You're supposed to fight Thanos and the Celestials. Molly has to get back safe and sound to.

Molly: But, you'll...

Moon Knight: I fucking know.

You shook your head.

Y/N: No way. We can't loose you. We'll just leave. Risk it. Either that or I'll take the plunge. I already died once.

Moon Knight: Nope. Not gonna happen. You two have too much to live for. Too many people have put their faith in you for you to turn back now.

Molly: But we'll lose you!

Moon Knight: If you'll miss me that much, you can name your kid after me.

You raised a brow before you turned to Molly.

Y/N: You're…

Molly looked down silently.

Molly: Yeah.

Y/N: Then, that's even more of a reason why you need to stay. You have to see your niece or nephew.

Moon Knight: This isn't up for debate.

You slowly lowered your head as you clenched your fists.

Y/N: There has to be another way.

Moon Knight placed his hand on your head causing you to look up at him.

Moon Knight: I know this sucks kid. Seems that there's only going to be three original Strikers left.

You just looked at him.

Y/N: There has to be another way.

Moon Knight shook his head.

Moon Knight: This isn't my story. It's yours you little shit. Just make sure you beat the shit out of that purple piece of shit.

He turned to Molly.

Moon Knight: I want both of you to promise to protect everyone. Everyone.

Molly nodded as did you. Moon Knight sighed under his mask.

Moon Knight: I'm gonna miss you kid. Even though we're not related by blood, you'll always be my family. Both of you. Never forget that.

Y/N: How can I?

Moon Knight nodded and turned towards Red Skull.

Moon Knight: Hey Red Rocket, all I gotta do is jump right?

The Spector nodded. Moon Knight looked up to the sky and saw the hovering moon.

Moon Knight: Please protect everyone.

He walked towards the edge and looked down.

Moon Knight: Yikes. That's a big fall.

He turned back towards you and slowly reached up to grab his mask. He slid it off and for the first, and last, time, you saw his face. An aged man who had seen many battles. Your uncle. Your guardian. Your family. 

Marc: I'm so glad you grew up to be a good man Y/N. And Molly, keep being a little terror. This is goodbye for now. We love you.

You felt tears start to form in your eyes.

Y/N: I love you too.

Molly: G-Goodbye.

Moon Knight dropped his mask on the ground before leaping off the cliff. As he felt, he felt something he hasn't felt in years. Tears.

Moon Knight: Damn kids, you made me cry.

You suddenly sat up in the water and looked around. You were back at the ship. Tyrone and Felicia looked at you and Molly.

Tyrone: You guys are back. How did it go? You get the stone?

Felicia looked around before she noticed someone was missing.

Felicia: Where's Moony?

You didn't answer. You slowly lifted your hand out of the water and opened it to find the Soul Stone. In Molly's, was Moon Knight's mask.

Cat: Don't tell me…

Molly: He sacrificed himself for the stone.

You clenched the Stone in your hand as tears began to fall from your eyes. You slowly lifted your fist to your face as silence fell upon the group.
---------
Y/N: He's really gone.

You stared at the Stone in your hand as the ship flew off to meet the others at Knowhere. The ship was quiet unlike earlier when everyone was lively. It was a bittersweet moment. You had the Soul Stone, but no Moony.

Tyrone: I'm sorry for your loss.

Felicia held your hand as you just nodded.

Y/N: There really is, only three of the original Strikers left.

Felicia: And we need to keep fighting for those who aren't.

Molly had dissapeared sometime ago when you left the ship on auto pilot. The course was set, so you were just waiting.

Tyrone: He made a nobel sacrifice. We have the Stone now.

Y/N: I know. Trust me, I won't let his sacrifice be in vein.

Molly: Good.

The three of you looked up as Molly entered the haul. You then noticed her attire.

Cat: Why are you wearing that?

Molly: Because, Moon Knight needs to live on. Marc Spencer was killed. Our uncle. I refuse to let Moon Knight die as well.

You smiled as she put on the mask.

Molly: I refuse to let him be forgotten.
