Claire wasn't very appreciative of the kick that launched Cherry into the sky, but that was mainly because the Myceling had been sitting on top of her head when the shadow decided to go for the punt. She was hit as well. Still, it wasn't much of a bother, as she was okay, in any case, she started to look around to see where to go. She spotted the real Xoxi walking toward the weird Squidkid, who was grinning while taking out what looked to be a knife in one hand and a supersoaker...okay...in the other. She continued to look around, and found the shadows piggyback riding some of the Mirifakino bandits. Ignoring them, she looked to where she thought Cia might have been.

Her eyes widened with horror.

Claire expected to see Cia standing back, or fighting one of the bandits in some way. Instead, she saw something she didn't want to see. Though it was merely an illusion crafted by her own grudge against Cia and the fact that the female Mirifakino bandit had a face that looked a LOT like Yuki's, Claire didn't know that. What she saw was her sister being impaled through the shoulder by the one and only Cia herself. Something snapped in Claire's mind, and though she tried to hold herself back, the scene she saw was releasing the anger within her.

This was reflected by the music that started emanating from her body.

The shadows of Xoxi began to shudder and jolt about to the ghastly beginning. For a moment, it seemed as if they were being tortured by the way they twitched about. Then, suddenly a stream of darkness began to be visibly siphoned out of them, as Claire sent a shadow serpent to lunge at Cia. As the music continued to play, visible streams of light began to appear and circle around in a twister with streams of darkness from the idle shadows of ruins. They began to merge into one, creating the form of some giant deity. Her form was tall and towering, her features shrouded and unseen, save for her eyes that held no pupils, but a single color. The light around her became like that of an aurora, flowing around and from her.

For a moment, the Duskician's eyes bolted open. He stared at the Twilit body, and weakly spoke,

"N-Nashaph...Mou...sike..." 

He passed out again, as his body only allowed him that much after the exhausted energy and the jab to his head.

The moment he did, Claire connected herself with her creation, and screeched out in fury and wrath. From her form came a multitude of dark and light arms that began to destroy the ruins of San Francisco. The monkeys from the zoo could be seen fleeing from the place.

Then one final moment of soft, ghastly music was heard at the end, and both Claire and her creation looked to Cia, who undoubtedly had enough power to stop her shadow snake.
