Serenity's P.O.V.

We were given freedom to roam around the park, so the first thing I did was head to the lake(don't know why they called it a pond) so I could check up on Claire, who said she'd be meditating there.

There was no one when I arrived.

The ground shook underneath me and some dark thing that looked kind of like a squid shut up out of the ground, and I fell backwards.

"Serenity!" Aera, Jersey, and Itsuki ran up to me.

"Are you okay?" Jersey asked.

"I'm fine, but have one question. Where's Claire?"

Claire's P.O.V.

I woke up in what felt like a very dark and cold room. There was light, but no source. It was almost like some sort of Neolian crystal...

"Hello?" I called out, getting up and starting to walk around. "Hello?"

I crashed into what seems to be a wall. But instead of becoming one with the wall basically, I fell backwards. It was then that I realized that I was surrounded by this wall... and my reflection was on every single part of it.

Serenity's P.O.V.

"Let's go, Special Senshi! Eris Prismic Power!"

"Alleyen Prismic Power!"

"Kerry Prismic Power!"

"Earth Prismic Power!"

"Make up!"

(insert catchphrases here)

It instantly threw one of its tentacle-like things at us. So I tried to stop it.

"Eris Crystallizing Flash!" I froze the end of it in crystal, slowing it and giving us enough time to jump out of the way.

Max's P.O.V.

I woke up with a severely aching head. I guess I hit head-first.

I got up and observed my surroundings. There was a mirror-like wall around me. I went up to the wall and knocked on it. It was very thick and stable. No way anyone would knock it down.

Claire's P.O.V.

I ran at the wall for the tenth time. I again forgot the point at which the wall began and got hurt crashing into it again, sliding back to my starting point again as well.

Wait...

What if I tried transforming?

Serenity's P.O.V.

"Alleyen Prism Explosion!" Alleyen exclaimed.

"Kerry Darkness Overdrive!" Kerry shouted as well.

Neither attack took it out.

"It's no use!" Earth yelled. "We can't destroy it and I can't use my attack!"

"Why not?" I asked while dodging.

"We're at a Nature Park! I'll destroy us all if I try!"

"So we just hope that Sailor Neol, Tuxedo Lotus and his accomplice, or Rosemary B show up?!"

"We have no choice!"

Claire's P.O.V.

"Neol Legend Power, make up!" Nothing. My powers don't work down here either.

A Neolian would be able to get out of this... and I'm supposed to be the princess of them...

Am I even Neolian?

If not...

Who am I?

"Need a hand?" I looked up and saw none other than Max.

"Max..."

"Hey Claire."

"...Are you... real?"

"I think so. I'm pretty sure I am."

"Am I real?"

"What's with all the questions, Claire? If I'm real, you probably are too."

"It's just... this feels like a dream..."

I looked at him for a while. Why is he being so kind to me? I thought... the Neolian texts claimed he was an omen... at least, I think they did... I'm not sure what is real... or who I am...

"Well, why don't we find out then?" He then held out his hand to me. "Take my hand."

Well uh...
