She couldn�t stop herself. She suddenly had the overwhelming urge to make a monologue. She fought it and lost.
�A dance is an event that shouldn�t be interrupted�.�
~*~*~*~*~*~
Eriks shook her head in disbelief. She ignored the entire monologue and considered what to do next (for some reason, no one ever seemed to feel like actually acting during a monologue).
~*~*~*~*~*~
As the other Sailor Scouts battled the four remaining monsters (the drum had recently bit the dust), Sailor Electra ran over to the room that she had seen Kat and Angel disappear into. She was about 5 feet from the door when she hit a force field of some kind. *Oh! Maybe this is why I can�t get through to Eriks.*
~*~*~*~*~*~
Night Angel (as she had recently found out her name was) had finally finished her monologue. She was glad and resolved never to do it again no matter how much the Knight in her forced her to.
Jian sneered at her. �Not that this will change anything. You guys are going to die tonight, as will all your siblings.� He sent off a sphere of energy at each of them, each attack hitting its mark.
Night Angel looked at Sailor Eriks. She wouldn�t be able to stand another attack, she thought. Even now she was having trouble getting back up. But Night Angel admired her courage for trying. She ran over to help Eriks.
�Eriks stop! You need to rejuvenate.�
�Right. Like he�s going to give me the chance.�
�Then, why don�t you let me handle him for awhile. You can�t take another hit, and I know you don�t want to fight him�.�
She wasn�t paying attention. She was staring at Jian with a look of determination on her face. �I won�t give up on him,� she whispered.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Electra considered the force field. She had no idea what to do about it. At times like this she needed to call on�.
�Yo, Shorty! There�s a force field here. Do you know how I can break through?�
He looked around the room and suggested, �Have the synthesizer break it down. And don�t call me that!� and resumed fighting.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Eriks ignored Night Angel�s objections and faced Jian.
�Please, Jian,� she pleaded with him, �you�ve got to listen to me. I promise that the Sailor Scouts never hurt your family.�
�LIAR!� He threw a sphere at her, but it missed. She held her ground.
�I don�t lie, Jian. You know that. What you believe isn�t true! Sapphire and Prizma chose to reject Wiseman because he was evil. He killed Sapphire, not the Sailor Scouts! You�ve got to believe me!�
�Shut up!� He sent another one and this one hit her, the force knocking her into the wall and taking most of her remaining strength.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kat (since she had untransformed) lay on the floor as if dead. Night Angel ran to her and found that she was still conscious, though weak and quickly reaching a point of unconsciousness.
She looked Night Angel deep in the eyes. �I�m sorry� Kat said weakly.
�No, don�t die on me, Kat.� Her eyes filled with tears.
�Angel� I�m sorry�.� She closed her eyes, but Night Angel could tell she was still alive, merely unconscious.
�Well, that�s one down, one to go!� Jian-wa laughed gloatingly.
Night Angel got up in a rage and attacked him.
~*~*~*~*~*~
*Say what?! Get the synthesizer to break it down? Why would it want to do that?*
Before she could figure it out, Sailor Phoenix tackled the synthesizer. Sitting on top of it she started to play some high pitched wailing noises. The Starlight fell to the ground as if in pain, and the rest covered their ears.
The force field shattered and Sailor Phoenix hit the synthesizer monster with a point blank �PHOENIX FIREBIRD DESCENDING!�
As soon as the force field was down, Electra was hit by immense pain that wasn�t her own. *Oh my God! Kat!* she thought and ran into the room.
