Chapter 7 A Dying Romance
James was set down in the dark room. He looked around clutching his locket tightly. He took a few steps further.
"Where am I?" asked James. He stepped deeper inot the room. He saw Princess Style.
"Jess!!" shouted James he ran up to the pillar she was in. "Don't worry! I'll find a way to get you out!"
James pounded on the pillar. The pillar vanished and Jess fell into James' arms. Jess sat up.
"James! Watch out!"
"Huh?"
A crystal flew towards James' back. Jess knocked him out of the way. The crystal bearly missed him. Sailor Target appeared. She laughed evilly. Sailor Target took out Jess' locket.
"Hand over you locket James. With it I can awaken the stylish powers," laughed Sailor Target. James held his locket tight. He couldn't let Sailor Target have it.
Meanwhile...
"Victoria's Secret Beauty Thrust!"
"K-Mart Pricetag Collision!"
A mix of pink energy and price tags hit the side of the pillar. It wasn't even a scratch on it.
"There's a force field around it," sighed Tom.
"I guess Jess and James are on their own," said Chas.
Back in the Pillar...
Sailor Target prepared another crystal. "Foolish children" She thew the crystal. This time James could not dodge it.
"James we've got to move!"
"I can't I'm frozen!" shouted James.
"TSX Movie Wave!!" shouted a voice. A beam of movies shot towards the crystal. The movies hit the crystal and it shattered.
"What? Who's there?" asked Sailor Target. A knight jumped in front of Jess and James.
"I am the TSX Knight! I am the guardian of Princess Style!" shouted the knight. So this knight was one of the Inner Mall Store Scouts too.
"Not another pesk!" shouted Sailor Target. "I'm going to get that locket no matter what! Target Bulleye Cage!"
The bullseye wrapped around TSX Knight. He was tossed to the side. Upon reaching the ground he detransformed.
"Kyle!?!?!" shouted Jess. It was Kyle, Jess' friend from school. James stood up.
"You'll never get my locket!" shouted James. Kyle tried to get out of the bullseye. Sailor Target laughed. She took out her pennywhistle and blew a few notes into it. A slate appeared behind James. Restraints attached James to the slate.
"LET ME GO!" screamed James. Jess stood up and tried to pull off the restraints. A shadow hand came up form the floor and knocked Jess out of the way. The shadow then took he locket form James. He couldn't fight the power of the shadow. The locket flew over to Sailor Target then the shadow hand vanished.
"Now I have the two lockets!" cackled Sailor Target. Sailor Target tried to smash the lockets together. "Why won't they combine?"
"Because only those of the Style Court can!" shouted Kyle. He broke free from the bullseye. Kyle ran up and knocked over Sailor Target. The two compacts flew over to Jess.
"Jess! Read the words on the lockets!" shouted James. Jess looked down at the lockets.
"With in these lockets are the powers of style.... With them true love shall be unleashed!" read Jess. The two lockets combined. The room turned into a blue haze. Princess Style was floating in he air. In her hands was a blue scepter.
"No! You've gained the stylish powers!" shouted Sailor Target.
"In the form of a scepter!" continued Kyle. Princess Style pointed the scepter towards Sailor Target.
"Stylish Eternal Bells Ring!" shouted Princess Style. A beam of rainbow colors shot towards Sailor Target. All that was heard was a long horrible scream.
The colors returned too normal. But things were different. James wasn't on the slate anymore and he had a silver crystal in his hands. Jess was on the floor. Was she dying?
"JESSICA! You can't die!" shouted James. Kyle kneeled down by Jess.
"She needs the kiss of life," said Kyle. James didn't pay attention. He was too worried that Jess would die to care about what Kyle was saying.
Kyle leaned over Jess and kissed her. Kyle then turned into a knight! But he wasn't in his normal knight suit. This one was black. Jess opened her eyes.
"Prince Handsome?" asked Jess. The style scepter appeared floating above Jess. She sat up and held on to the scepter. James' crystal vanished. James feel like he had become a shadow. And that he did. James vanished.
Jess turned back into Sailor Bath and Body Works. Kyle became himself again. "Where is James?" asked Jess.
"I'm not sure. Come on this pillar is going to collapse!" shouted Kyle. He stood up and helped Jess up. The dashed down he stairs and out of the pillar.
James was set down in the dark room. He looked around clutching his locket tightly. He took a few steps further.
