The wooden doors slowly opened. Chara gulped as she stepped inside. Her brother, Story, was more relaxed. She was jealous. He was never nervous to come to this place. He was never nervous to talk to the Priestess.

Speaking of the Priestess, she was right there, standing by the altar. Her beautiful white body seemed to glow. Chara had always been envious of fairies with shimmering fur in beautiful colors. All she had was fluffy red fur that could never be kept in place.

"You called us?" Story casually said. Chara wanted to shush him, but the Priestess turned to them.

"Yes."

Story stepped forward and Chara followed him. Normally, she was never nervous around other people, but this was the Priestess they were talking about. The third most powerful being, aside from their King and Queen.

Story stopped and kneeled, and Chara copied him.

"Chara and Story. Like you know, it's been ten years since Level and Stage placed a spell on our worst enemies to delay them and buy time for humanity. But now, the spell will wear off and they will have humanity in their hands, as the humans developed their phones in the worst way possible. Because of this, I am sure it will spread like wildfire."

Chara nodded. She knew all about the spell too, just like her brother. She was scared. If they could take over humanity with their cursed demons…

"And that's why we need to stop them."

Two servants stepped forward, each holding something. Chara's eyes grew wide and judging the little sound her brother made, her was just as perplexed.

"I-Is that…" she managed to say.

"Yes. After many years, we have decided it's time for these two heroes to rise. You'll have to take this, find the chosen humans and assist them in every way possible."

Chara couldn't hold her excitement anymore. Her, assisting a Pretty Cure? The defenders of love and peace? She jumped up and took the red object from the servant.

"Thank you, thank you! I'll not disappoint you! You can count on that!"

"Hehe, aren't you excited." Story said, having stood up too and taken his own green object. Chara turned to him.

"How can you not? Do you realize what's happening? We're chosen to be the helpers of the legendary warriors!"

The Priestess chuckled, and Chara regained her composure, blushing.

"You will take off soon enough. You will have to split to find your human, but try to find each other. After all, they work better when they're together."

The two fairies saluted and nodded before flying off. The Priestess watched them go and sighed. She looked back at the altar.

"I hope I made the right choice. It's not like I have many other choices, but still. I don't want to lose another fairy. And I certainly don't want to lose another Pretty Cure…"

Nicanora Bayfield loved running. It took her mind off. It let her explore new places. And it was a great exercise.

That was why she was running through the streets of the town they now lived in. Temporary. She knew that after a while, she would have to pack up again before they left for another country. That was both the upside and the downside of being a child to a family of travelers. Whether it was for business or fun, they would never stay long in one place. Her mother was a photographer, while her father was a stuntman. She had been traveling since she was born.

And now they were in Japan. It was nice, she guessed. She had already seen quite a lot and she hadn't seen anything in Japan yet that amazed her. She knew it was the land of technology and such, but she wasn't so much into games. She rather sported the whole afternoon.

"Go and try to make some new friends. I know it's hard because of the language barrier, but you'll pick it soon enough. And since we'll stay here for at least two months, you have more than enough time to befriend some kids."

Those were the words her mother said when she went out. Nicanora scoffed. Friends? Like she really needed them. She wouldn't stay here long anyways, so why even bother? There would be only heartbreak. Not to mention, her mother knew she was shy around other people. Exactly how was she supposed to befriend someone if she was too afraid to talk to them, or even walk up to someone? No, she was a loner and she didn't mind.

Her feet, dressed in white sport shoes, took her further and further away. She reminded herself she had to pay attention to where she was going, or she would get lost. The town was fairly empty, so she had enough space to run.

When she passed a group of students playing on their phones, she was surprised they hadn't briefly put it down to look at her. After all, she pretty much stood out with her tanned skin and brown hair. She considered herself lucky.

After seeing more and more people absorbed by their phones and thinking about what the world had come to, she decided to go to the park to find a bench to rest.

The park was pretty empty as well. She could easily find a nice bench to sit down and drink some water. Panting, she sat down next to a boy of her age. He briefly glanced over her to see who had disturbed his game before continuing on his phone. Nicanora was glad that game seemed to be very addicting. Now she didn't have to worry about random strangers talking to her.

She wiped the sweat of her brow and took her bottle of water from the bag around her waist. She screwed it open and let the cooling liquid fall in her mouth. Would running every day get boring? It wasn't like there was much to do. Ironic. The child of parents with the most exciting jobs gets bored.

But it wasn't her fault. After all, she wasn't a people's person, and going out is difficult if you have no connections. Shopping becomes easily boring. Going to amusements parks becomes boring. Hell, games would pretty much become boring if you have no one else to play with. If she were interested in them in the first place.

Speaking of games, the guy next to her was still playing. A little curious, she glanced at the screen. A monster was fighting another monster. She recognized the character from a poster she had seen while on her run. Apparently, it was a free mobile game.

She sighed and leaned against the bench. Well, never mind. What if she would get bored? She could ask her father if she could come and watch him in action. Granted, she would probably have to speak to more people again, but maybe she could avoid them if she kept quiet and pretend she had no idea what they're saying. Or she could join her mom on one of her trips. She didn't need any friends to have fun.

Suddenly, she heard a grunt beside her. She looked over to see the guy crouching over, holding his eyes. He must have gotten something in his eye. That was her first thought. She hesitantly glanced at the water bottle in her hand and sighed. Shy or not, she couldn't let him be.

Forgetting the language barrier, she reached the bottle out for him.

"H-hey, are you okay? D-do you n-need some water?"

He seemed to notice her as he perked up and removed the hands from his eyes. He looked at her.

He looked at her.

He looked at her with pitch black eyes, like his eyes had been taken out and drenched in a black liquid before being placed back in his sockets.

Nicanora immediately dropped the bottle and moved back. What the hell was that?

The guy didn't seem interested in her though. It looked at the fallen water bottle with great interest.

Suddenly, he howled of pain and fell from the bench, grabbing his chest. Something black slipped under his arms and grabbed the smartphone he had dropped. With one slick move it dragged the phone back under the guy's arms. The moment that happened, something black started spreading over the guy. Nicanora got up from her place and moved away, terrified what would happened next.

When the guy was completely covered in black, his body started to change. He became bigger and bigger, his arms and legs became rounded and his hands changed to be only stumps.

When the change was done, the dark liquid fell off him, so she could see what he had become.

A burly human-like creature, made out of plastic, filled with water and bottles for arms.

"What in the actual-"

Nicanora never got to finish that sentence, as the monster turned to her and looked down on her with his black eyes. She gulped and took a careful step back. The monster growled and took a step forward.

She found this the best time to run.

She turned around and sprinted away as hard as she could, but the creature didn't intent on letting her get away. He shot a blast of water at her, successfully hitting her. She didn't expect the water pushing her against the ground and yelped.

Drenched in water, she tried to get up, but the monster planted his foot in her back, forcing her back into the dirt. Even though he was made out of plastic, he was still heavy of the water and she felt that.

Am I going to die here?

That thought suddenly rang through her mind. She guessed that was going to happen. The monster didn't look like he would take his foot off her anytime soon and it wasn't like she could force him off her.

She regretted dying here. She would die with no friends, but still leave her family behind. She would never run again. She would never travel again. She would never have the chance to overcome her shyness.

But there was nothing she could do, right?

A spark of hope in her heart said otherwise. She didn't want to die here. She didn't want to die now. There, in the mud, she knew that she still wanted to do a lot more.

Besides, was she really going to let herself be killed? Not even after a fight? Would she really just end up as nothing more than a victim?

"No…I don't want to be just a victim!" She yelled out loud against the monster. Her heart felt like it was bursting with warmth.

She would not die without a fight.

Suddenly, a bright light coming from her pocket took her by surprise. The bright light came along with what she could only describe as a force field, as it threw the monster off her and surrounded her, protecting her.

"What the hell?" she muttered as she reached in her pocket. She took out her phone, which was for some reason bright as the sun. She narrowed her eyes to inspect it.

Suddenly, something popped out of it. It was so quick she didn't have any time to see what it was. She dropped her phone and looked shocked at the creature that had come out. The light that surrounded it died quickly enough.

It took her a moment to realize she was staring at long, red, fluffy creature with ropes in the place of its ears, each rope having a pompom at the end. In its forehead it had a white crystal.

"Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha!?" She stuttered as she moved away from the…'thing'.

"Ah, don't worry human! I'm here to help you!" it said in a girly, cutesy voice.

Nicanora didn't pay attention as she tried to find something to fight the creature with. If she couldn't beat the gigantic plastic monster, she could at least try and beat the small fluffy creature.

"Go away you monster! What do you all want from me? What in the world is going on!?" she yelled as she grabbed a stick to defend herself with.

"I'm a fairy, not a monster. You don't have to be scared of me!" The red creature reassured her. Or at least tried to.

"S-Still, what does everyone here want from me? I'm just a 14-year-old girl with travelling parents."

"I'm here to help you to unlock the power to let you become Cure Power!"

"That makes no sense."

The fairy flew back to her phone and reached inside of it. She took out what looked like a red Gameboy and flew back.

"Sorry, but I don't like to play games." Nicanora said, waving her hands in front of her. The creature giggled.

"I don't want you to play games with this silly, you need to use this to become stronger to beat up that demon!"

Nicanora glanced at the plastic demon, which was currently trying to break through the barrier. She gulped, not taking her eyes off it.

"Me? Beating up that thing?"

The red creature nodded. "Yeah, you can do it Cure Power! I, Chara, believe in you!"

She turned back to the creature. "My name is Nicanora, or Nora for short. Not Cure Power. And that is no way I can beat that."

The creature grinned mysteriously and handed her the Gameboy. "You might not be Cure Power yet, but that's what the Super Controller is for. Just take it and I'll tell you what to do."

Nora glanced from the creature to the demon to back at the creature. She couldn't stay here forever, right? I didn't seem like she had much of a choice. Thrilling with nervousness and hesitation, she took the mysterious thing out of the fluffy paws. Now that she had it in her hand, she could take a better look at it. It was completely red, with hints of pink here and there. In the middle was a star, surround by direction buttons. In the top of the object was a slot, like one in an arcade machine.

"Do I need coins for this?"

The creature (Chara, she believed) shook her head and pointed to the crystal in her head.

"No need, I just give you the Super Coin! Insert Coin!" The creature yelled, and a golden coin with a shard of a ruby popped out of the crystal.

Nora caught it and automatically slid it in the slot. Suddenly, her entire body started to glow as her clothes merged with her body.

"Ah! What's happening!?"

"Don't worry, that all part of the transformation. Just say: Press play! Pretty Cure, start the game! Then press the star! And the magic will do the rest!"

"Transformation? I don't want to transform! What if I turn into a monster like that?" Nora yelled, as she grew more scared by the second. What was happening?

"Don't worry, that won't happen. Just trust me!"

Nora looked from the creature to her body to the demon. The force field looked like it wasn't going to last for much longer anymore. She sighed as she saw the only option.

"I really do not trust you. But, I don't want to die here either. So, I'm just going to give it a try and see what happens."

She straightened her back as she echoed the words in her head.

"Press play! Pretty Cure, start the game!" she screamed as she pressed the button.

Hello there, ChocolateRoseNinja here. If you are reading this, then thank you for reading the first chapter. Now, a bit of explanation. As I have no idea how frequently I will be updating, I have split the first episode into two parts. So, if I get later in a writer's block, I can upload a part of the episode.

Now, the journey of the first Game Pretty Cure has started. But who will be her partner? And when is she going to be revealed?

That, ladies and gentlemen, is for another time. I hope you have enjoyed the series so far and give a nice review and maybe even a follow!

I do not own Pretty Cure, but I do own all characters. If you have also a Pretty Cure series that involves games, it's completely coincidental. I also really hope the next Pretty Cure isn't going to revolve around games, or this could get pretty awkward.

Until next chapter, bye bye~
