Star slowly opened her eyes, a look of pure shock on her face.
"I... I absorbed all the stones and broke through to the fifth stage of the Celestial rank!" she exclaimed, jumping to her feet in disbelief.
BOOOM!!
A thunderous explosion echoed through the air, causing her to freeze. She looked ahead to see Sunny enveloped in a massive pillar of shimmering purple light:
"Huh?" Star watched, mesmerized, as Sunny's tail severed itself and vanished, only to be replaced by a new one—a serpentine tail ending in a sharp, menacing blade.
WHOOSH.
The surrounding force field shattered and dissipated, and with it, the mercenaries that had protected her.
"....?!"
Star's eyes widened: "What the?!"
BOOM!
She whipped her head around to see a colossal wave of energy hurtling toward her from Sunny's direction. She instinctively crossed her arms in a defensive posture.
BAM!
