Claire's P.O.V.

"Welcome to the sky arena," Chrysta said. "As you can see, we are above Tokyo.  If you get weak, you fall to your doom.  If you pass out, you also fall to your doom.  If you die, you'll fall to another death.  If we die... YOU STILL FALL AND DIE!!!"

"We won't die!" Sailor Eris yelled. "Serpent... STRIKE!!!"  A new move?!?!  X and Chrysta pulled out shields and blocked it.

"I'm gonna follow ya on that, Eris," Sailor Alleyen commented. "Venomous... Snake... BITE!!!"  Another new move?!?!  X and Chrysta didn't even get scratched!

"I'll try a new one, too!" Sailor Kerry exclaimed. "SHADOW... ORB.. CHASE!!!!"  Dark orbs went around their shields and hit them from behind.  That's what we need to to! 

"Lotus!" I exclaimed, looking over to Max.  We charged.  "Neol Wand, transform!"  At the same time, Max, X, and Chrysta all pulled out their swords. Max took X while I fought Chrysta.  We tried to keep them distracted long enough for the others to attack, but the attacks weren't launched.  I look to see the girls and Larry fighting demons!  Looks like we're on our own, Max...

I hear you, Claire...

Did he just hear my thoughts?!?!  My tiara glowed brightly.  I tapped it.  It slid right off!  Am I going to use a new move?

"Neol... Tiara... SEVER!!!" I yelled.  In a vertical formation floating on my hand, I rolled it along the ground and it went quickly towards Chrysta.  It shot up and dealt some blows.  That attack... is it meant to work like what Earth calls a chainsaw?

"Your pathetic party tricks are useless!" Chrysta exclaimed, shooting me with a powerful dark beam.

I screamed in pain.  This hurts so badly... I felt Max get blasted into me around the time I hit the ground.

Oh, everyone...

Eris, Alleyen, Kerry, Larry, Max...

Please...

DON'T GIVE UP!!!

Sorry this chapter was short!  I will try to make up for it!  Anyways...  Are X and Chrysta too strong?  Will the Special Senshi and friends lose?  The fate of the world is in their hands... will they let everyone down?
