"I won't argue with you." He said, still chuckling a little bit, determination wasn't a bad answer.

"Trust me. I'm a legendary hero on my world, you know." That might be a little exaggeration, but not actually a lot.

[10billionpercent]

"Yeah?" Senku asked, his tone more curious than disbelieving. "What kind of a hero are you?"

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"I just said, legendary! My friends and I traveled to the Red Moon itself, and put paid to the spirit of the foul Lunarian who'd caused our world endless travail and strife!" Boasting, to be sure, but a true boast at least.

[10billionpercent]

"I'm not sure I grasped any of that, but I'll take your word on that." Senku commented. "I'm not familiar with the Red moon or anything."

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"Funny story. We thought it was a moon, but it turns out it was a vehicle for the Lunarian people to travel in, and they were sleeping in it the whole time." What could you do but shrug?

[10billionpercent]

He blinked a few times at that. "How was that mistake made? Does it look like a moon?"

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"Of course it did! Pretty much exactly like the True Moon, but red." Thus the name.

[10billionpercent]

"Huh. Sounds interesting. What was it made of? How did it work?" He asked, now flipping into the science mode that was always so close to the surface.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"What am I, a Lunarian? They did all sorts of crazy things I don't understand. Giant metal monsters and moons that fly through space and everything else besides..." They'd had so much more of an impact on life than anyone had ever known.

[10billionpercent]

"You didn't ask?" Senku responded. "I mean, that would've been my first question, honestly..."

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"We were a little busy, what with the saving the world and all. Plus there was only one Lunarian awake that wasn't evil, and we didn't have him around for long."

[10billionpercent]

"Huh, so they were your enemy then. That's unfortunate, you could've learned about all that tech." Senku had strange priorities at times.

Edge ran a hand down his face. The situation was, unsurprisingly, more complicated than his simplistic summaries. "We got a little of it. One Lunarian had come down and shared some of it, like airship technology. Then there was the one good one still alive, but the evil one in the depths of the Moon needed to be stopped immediately."

[10billionpercent]

"I think I understand what you mean, but I mean more once it's done, there's always a hope you can learn more." At least, that was what he cared about when it came down to new experiences and new technology. He enjoyed those kinds of things.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"Well, once it was finished the Lunarians figured they were doing more harm than good even just waiting, so they took off." Edge made a zooming motion with one hand.

[10billionpercent]

"That...just leaves me with more questions." Senku admitted, but he chuckled and shook his head, he'd spare Edge.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"The Red Moon was the ship they built to travel from their planet when it was destroyed to ours." That ought to answer everything, right?

[10billionpercent]

He couldn't contain himself. "What planet were they from?" Senku was trying not to ask too many question since it seemed like Edge might not know, but really, they just kept piling up.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"It was from somewhere else around our sun, but it was destroyed a long time ago. That's why they were looking for a new home." Edge didn't mind the questions, and would do his best to answer -- it involved talking about himself or at least his home, after all.

[10billionpercent]

"Hm, how long ago? That seems...well actually, it depends on their technology, it would take years to get to Jupiter after all..." He was musing now, a bit of a tangent his mind had gone to.

"Interesting. So they're not going to stay on your planet I guess, since you said they left, where did they go?"

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"I'm not sure, but a very long time ago. Nowhere in history is there a record of only one moon!"

He shrugged, both to that and the next question. Where they'd gone was in fact a good question, but one he didn't know the answer to.

[10billionpercent]

"Wait, do you have more than one moon?" Senku asked, that excitement tinging his question. "What's your planet like?"

[onehandsomeslickninja]

"Well, we did. Our planet is... pretty ordinary I guess? From what I've seen of places we've been?" He wasn't really sure how to describe it, if he was being honest. Then again, his experience with other planets was limited to the missions and stops of the train.
