Claire's P.O.V.

When I stepped out of the portal I found myself in the small "apartment" owned by us Neolians for generations... and it's practically invisible from the outside.

I took a look around the room, and I found something in the desk drawer.

It was a brooch... and there was a note with it.

'Dear Neolian,
Your time here won't be easy, as Neol and Earth never really knew about the existence of the other. Your heritage must remain secret, for your sake and others.
To help you with your time here, here is this brooch.
Use its power wisely, as there is a capacity to it.'

Hmm... it isn't signed.

???'s P.O.V.

"Hmm... I feel an energy near us... I haven't felt this in a long time. X!" He then appeared before me.

"I am in need of some energy if I am to keep myself in this form... the longer it takes for you to find a suitable vessel for me, the less I am able to give myself a physical form at all. So bring me some energy and find the vessel already!"

"Yes, Mistress." He then teleported away.

The time has come... this energy has to be from the vessel this time around...

Claire's P.O.V.

What is this... how does it work...

Why am I feeling so drawn to figure this thing out anyway?

I heard a soft explosion in the distance and went to the window of my apartment. When I looked out the window, I saw a huge monster attacking the city.

When I realized that there was a second one... right by my apartment building...

It was too late.

The windows caved in and the wind went like crazy into my room. The ground practically rotated to almost ninety degrees straight down... the monster was tipping this building over.

"What are these guys? Twin Doomsdays?!" I caught myself on the beam that was set between the no longer existent windows before I could fall out. I saw my brooch fall and caught it before I could lose it.

"Now would be a really good time to know how to use this thing! I declared, hoping I would somehow know. What luck! I'm hearing voices now! It's telling me to say something...

"Neol... Stellar... Power... make up?" Suddenly, I transformed into some magical hero thing!

"Interesting..." Did I say that out loud? Oh well...

So, as I would normally, I acted on impulse.

I fought it. The voice needed to tell me an attack now so I can finish it...

"Attacks, attacks, attacks..." I was hanging onto a railing now after all that. If I let go, I die. If I continue to hang on, the monster'll kill me... I need to do something that doesn't involve much hand motion...

Then, the voice told me something.

"Okay, I'll try that. NEOL TIARA SEVER!!!" I used the railing to flip myself up and give me enough time to tap my tiara, which then came off my head, and throw it vertically at the monster as I fell.

I beat it...

But there's still one more to go!

~~~~~~~~~~

Claire transformed!

She fought the monster!

She's done an attack!

Now there's one more to go!

We'll see how that ends next time!

Bye!
