Hikaru hung from the tower, high over the ground. A boulder rests on the floor next to her hand. Blood ran down her arm. "Kaoru!" she cried. Tears streamed from his eyes. "I'm sorry, Kaoru!" He thinks. "I always only said unfair things to you. I was only cruel to you. Now I know. You and I are partners!"
The boulder was lifted up. A hand grabbed Doll's, and Snake held her in the air. "Now I know," he said. "That you couldn't become a warrior, Hikaru. It's because as your partner, I lacked power."
"Kaoru...?" He smiled. "Power is spreading all through my body," she thought. "Even more than before, such strength. Hikaru and I are linked together."
Hikaru gained her powers and leapt back onto the top of the power.
"Hikaru!"
"Kaoru!"
"Damnit!" said Bandiane.
Hikaru turns to her. "How dare you treat me with such terrible disdain! I'll beat you!" Bandiane disappeared. The attack flew past her.
"Why you!" yelled Xia. She threw knives He Hikaru. He swung his weapon at Xia from the tower. He ran down to join the others. "Kyoya! Hunni! Mori! Tamaki!"
"Hikaru!" Tamaki said. "You became a warrior!"
"I'm sorry, everyone," Hikaru said. "But I'm fine now."
"Kaoru," he thinks. "Thanks to you." He looked down at him from the tower, smiling.
Xia sent Lemures to attack the trapped warriors.

"Can't I do it with my power alone, after all?" Hikaru thought. "Is my power still not enough? If we had more, more strength! To defeat the enemies, to protect the ones important to us! Power! Gather!"
Tamaki stared out the window, at the dark sky. "I feel uneasy..." he thought. "Tonight again, I can't even see one star. Is this the enemies' doing too? The darkness spreading, so I can't see the stars? Kaguya...I want to go see her. I want to go help her right now. Where is Kaguya? Where is Dreaming!?"
Tamaki began to cough and collapsed.
"Tamaki!" the warriors cried, held by the vines.
Xxx
The vines were destroyed by Tamaki, freeing the others.
Xia attacked.
They vanished, missing her attack. "They dodged it!?"
They stared at each other. All exchanged happy comments and remark on the twin's growth. Hikaru ran and hugged his brother.
"Kaoru!" She hugged him down. "You're alright!"
"Hikaru! Tamaki...is he alright?"
"He..." said Hunni. "He might not hear your voices now."
Xxx
"Tamaki!" Kyoya said. "Tamaki!?"
Tamaki lay in bed, coughing. "I'm okay. I'll get better if I get some rest..."
"Since you came back, you've been in pain, Tamaki." Kyoya ran out of the room. "I'm going to call the others!"
Xxx
The Eclipse Dreamers now attacked all the warriors and they attacked back all the while talking and exchanging info. Hikaru asked why Tamaki can't hear their voices and Mori asked why they came back to them.
"A crisis is approaching Tamaki," said Hunni. "We've gathered for that. We can't avoid that destiny. So we'll protect those two with all our strength. We must face and overcome that destiny. We'll cut our way through our new destiny. That is the true mission of us ten warriors."
The girls continued to fight.
Xxx
"My Warriors."
Mori halted. "That voice...! It can't be..."
"It's is." Hunni said.
Tamaki sat up in bed. "I feel it!" He thought. "They are fighting! Everyone is gathering!"
Kyoya ran to Tamaki's room and grabbed the mirror from his dresser. "Tamaki's hand mirror!" He saw the others in it. "Everyone!?"
Kyoya held up the mirror. "Mirror! Take me to the others!"
"I'm going right after you!" says Tamaki.
Kyoya vanished with the mirror. The hand mirror appears before Hikaru. He sees the image of Kyoya in it. "Kyoya!"
"I have to go too!" Tamaki said. He ran out of the house.
As Tamaki ran through the street, he saw Kaguya running toward him.
"Kaguya...!"
"Tamaki!" she said. "I heard your voice, calling me..."
"I'm all right."
"Tamaki!?"
His knees buckled, and he fell down.
"Tamaki!"
Kaguya caught him.
"It can't be... Your body... "
"We have to go," Tamaki said. "Everyone's gathering. Something is going to happen. We have to go. I'm the one who has to defeat the enemies."

"Tamaki is in crisis!?" said Kaoru. "For that, all the warriors are gathering...!" He grabbed Hikaru. "What's going to happen!? What'll happen to those two!?" He screamed as knives flew past him.
"We don't have time for this nonsense!" said Hikaru. She held out her mirror. "Look!" The power blasted a giant hole in the top of the circus tent.
A dark moon loomed in the sky overhead. "It's appeared over the circus! That huge new moon- no, inside the darkness of the new moon, a wide mouth is spreading in outer space! The nightmares are rapidly spouting out from there, to the planet's surface."
"But...!" thought Hikaru. "There was nothing when we entered the tent! No, from previous lives, the outside was already spreading strange air and darkness.
"People throughout the world, cities, engulfed in the nightmares of their creation. Around this planet, since long ago, it has been covered by a strange barrier of darkness. They plan to conquer this planet, and make it a planet of death."
The girls of the Eclipse Dreamers laugh.
Tamaki runs through the city in darkness. "The darkness is getting thicker!" He thinks. "Was the world this dark?" The decrepit streets are covered in trash. People everywhere are fighting.
"What did you say, punk!"
"Die!"
"Haha! Kill him!"
"Since when has the city been this enraged!?" thinks Tamaki. "This isn't Tokyo!" He sees the dark moon in the sky, clouds all around it. "What's that? A pitch-black moon...? No, it's just like a black hole...!"
"Kaguyaaa!" Tamaki calls.
Zia appears in the air. "Damn girls!" she says. "You're a lot of trouble. This is the end of your play." She sees Tamaki. "Heh heh heh. You come here often, warriors. I am the guiding soul serving Queen Bandiane, Zia. Ones of the Dreaming! It is too late, this city is already ours. This planet, too, is practically under our rule."
"Such a fragile planet," says Queen Bandiane, appearing above him. "The humans accept our nightmares defenselessly. This planet is protected by weak ones who accept the nightmares themselves! Just like twisting a baby's neck!"
Tamaki start to cough hard.
"Tamaki!" calls Kyoya.
"I won't let you!" says Tamaki. "Preying on weakness, doing as you please!"
"The Dreaming was gone long ago," Zia says. "You should be eliminated! Cursed ones!" The winged eyeball flies from his staff.
"Look out!" Kyoya calls.
It shoots a beam at Tamaki.
Kaguya lies on the floor, in his cage. "Oh no! My Warrior!" She appears.
"Kaguya!" calls Tamaki.
Tamaki begin to shrink under the beam, becoming younger and younger.
"My Warrior!?"
Tamaki lay on the ground, as a child, coughing.
"You are slowly suffering and losing your breath," says Zia. "Good. Heh heh. Ahahaha!"
"Oh no!" says Kyoya. "Is this the second stage of the curse Kaguya was talking about!?"
"My body now is also being changed by the curse," Kaguya said.
"This... isn't fair!" says Hunni. "I won't let you!"
"Now you can't protect this planet anymore!" say the girls of the Eclipse Quartet. "Heh heh. Ahaha!" They run away.
Kyoya and Mori run after them. "Mori!?" calls Hunni. "Kyoya!"
Kaguya approaches the two coughing children. "Their resistance is rapidly diminishing," he says. "If it continues like this, their lives will...!" Light begins to shine from the jewel on his forehead. A light flashes, and Tamaki and Kaguya are gone.
"Tamaki? Kaguya!?"
Mori follows after Hunni. "Where are you going?"
"To fulfill my destiny," says Hunni. "To fight together with you!" They run into a circus tent.
Inside the tent, the four sisters of the Eclipse Quartet attack and cover the two girls up with soy beans.
Hunni thrusts out his weapon. A force field forms around him and Mori, shielding them.
"Your spirits are also ruled by those nightmares!" Hunni says. "Don't you see it!?"
"What are you talking about!? Since we were born on the Dead Moon, with the power of the sacred new moon's darkness, we are capable of controlling the nightmares!"
"You're only using that power as a perverted form of the power inside you! Wake up!"
A haze appears around the four girls. "Hated ones of the Dreaming! Our plot is to take the blue planet!" Broken glass falls at them.
Mori hears voices in his head.
"Beautiful dreams are garbage!"
"In darkness, in the circus, dreaming wasn't allowed."
"Hate! It's all the fault of the ones of the Dreaming!"
"Nightmares are flowing in," he thinks. "But these nightmares are a little familiar. Aren't they enemies!?"
"Wake up," says Hunni, holding out his weapon. "Otherwise, there is only death. You are only being manipulated by the dead."
The four girls stare at her in silence. Mori slowly reaches his hand toward Hunni. A barrier appears between them, and the four jerk back in pain.
Zia shows up and yells at the Eclipse Dreamers calling them immature brats. They call out 'Grandma forgive us' but Zia sucks them up into a ball. "They've forgotten the kindness with which I lovingly raised them," she says. "Now they're only disruptions." The winged eyeball returns to her. "Oh, Zia," she says. "Punish the invaders over there." The eyeball glows. Two shards of glass are raised from the ground.
Mori grabs his weapon. The two shards fly at Mori and Hunni, and they are sucked into the glass. Zia picks up the balls and glass. "Heh heh." She puts them through the black mirror, dropping them on the other side. "Heh heh heh." Queen Bandiane smiles as she sees the four balls and two shards of glass drop to the ground before her.
