Tenshi felt as if she had been jolted out of a dream and set into a nightmare. Jian-kun had apparently just snapped!
While keeping an eye on Jian-kun, she tried to focus on Neko-chan's hand. It was bleeding a lot. She tried to put some pressure on it, but could tell that that hurt Neko-chan more and she was reluctant to do that. Moving to Neko-chan's side, she took the wounded hand between both of hers and just held it. She didn't know why, but for some reason she felt as if she were actually helping by doing this.
She glared at Jian-wa. How dare he hurt her Neko-chan!
~*~*~*~*~*~
How dare he glare at him like that! As if he were the bad guy here!
That's right! Don't let her act as if she's better than you. That's how they justify everything they do. But you know better.
For a second Jian-wa was confused. She? Then it dawned on him, of course Haruka and Michiru's children would be women. And as if she didn't look enough like Haruka - he should have known.
Just another lie. Another betrayal.
Enraged, he sent off an attack.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Suddenly, Neko and Tenshi were hit by a force that knocked them against the wall.
"Neko-chan, daijoubu ka?"
"Hai." Neko didn't know what to do. *Jian-kun must be possessed by an evil demon, but if I attack him, I'll hurt him as well.* She decided to transform at least. "Tenshi-kun, are you a Senshi? Can you transform?" she whispered.
Tenshi looked down and shook her head. "Neither Puroko nor I were chosen to be new Senshi."
Neko nodded in understanding and said, "Ok, just stay here for a second then."
"Eryx Planet Power: Make Up!"
If she expected Jian-kun to be surprised, she was out of luck. He sneered at her. "You Senshi are so predictable. I'm only surprised that it took you so long." He released a black sphere of energy at her.

Where the hell was Neko-chan? Sailor Electra couldn't imagine why she hadn't come as soon as the fight had started. Even if she hadn't been around, Neko-chan/Eryx still should have sensed what was going on, not to mention any pain that Electra was receiving.
She tried sending her a message as she fought the cymbal yoma, but was surprised to find herself blocked. So surprised in fact that the yoma managed to hit her with a "DEAFENING CRASH" attack.
"Eryx, where are you?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Where the heck was Mi-chan? Sailor Eryx couldn't imagine why she hadn't come as soon as the fight had started. Mi-chan/Electra should have sensed what was going on, not to mention the pain that Eryx was feeling.
She tried to sense her sister, but found that she was blocked!
"Oh, please! Like I was really going to let the two of you communicate in this situation," Jian-kun said, rolling his eyes. "There's a force field around this room that your thoughts can't penetrate. Don't worry though. She and the others are busy fighting their own battle out there."
She thought about the communicator watch that was in her purse. She had put it down when she was introducing Tenshi to everyone and hadn't grabbed it before leaving the room. Now when she needed the watch, she didn't have access to it.
Cut off from her two best friends in the world and enclosed in a relatively small place, Eryx found herself at a loss for what to do. She looked at Jian-kun. He had to be possessed! If only she could get through to him.
"Jian-wa, I know you're in there! Onegai. Onegai, fight against the demon that's possessed you! Onegai�." Her voice broke as tears started falling down her face.
Suddenly she felt Tenshi grab her and pull her away. She realized that she had just narrowly missed being hit by another sphere of energy.
"Baka! I am Jian-wa! You still don't know who I am, do you? You don't know what you did to my family?"
"Jian-kun�."
Eryx realized that she had never actually been to his house before. She didn't even know who his parents were. "�I never-"
"The Senshi destroyed my family and I will have my revenge. All the children of the original ten Senshi will die. Then my family's honor and power will be returned. I will destroy you all."
"Your family?"
"Hai, the Sailor Senshi killed my father and robbed my mother of her power. She died a little while later after moving to China to escape grief for the loss of Safiiru."
"Safiiru? Your father was Safiiru?" Eryx was confused. She was pretty sure that Safiiru hadn't had a son. And she knew that it was Wiseman, not the Sailor Scouts, who had killed him. Where was Jian-kun getting this info? Who was his mother?
"Hai. Safiiru and Petz were my parents. And the Sailor Scouts made their lives miserable. But I can regain their power if I kill all of their children either in person or with my yoma. You guys made it easy for me by being here together on the same night. I'll have to get the other two later."
Eryx looked at Tenshi. "Puroko-chan and the princess�," she whispered.
~*~*~*~*~*~
That was the last straw. Nobody was going to hurt Puroko-chan and get away with it. It didn't matter that the guy had powers or that he was a black belt, whereas she had never had any formal training. Tenshi's big brother instinct had kicked in. She rushed at him, fists clinched, ready to fight him to the death if need be.

The four Senshi in the auditorium had actually managed to take out one of the yoma. After the guitar yoma
