A little something outside of what I normally do. I have been fan of the Precure franchise for quite sometime and I was very excited when Happiness Charge started since they had a lot of good set ups but I was greatly disappointed with the writing as the series went on. To be honest the only reason I was still watching was for Seiji and when he ended up brainwashed I really felt excited to watch the next episode. Then episode 48 happened and I was furious! I had to run around the house for good ten minutes to calm down. And in this frustration this came to mind. I originally posted it to my tumblr but I put it here in an easier to read, review, and fav format. And I did some tweaks and corrections so it's not just a repost so enjoy everyone.

...

Seiji watched as Lovely and the others fought with Red. He really wanted to help, really he did, but now that he was free from Red's control, he had no powers. He could only watch as the combatants flew around at top speeds trading blows and energy based attacks. Maybe if they close to the ground again he could get in a punch or two in. The girls were gearing up to use their purification attack, hopefully that would be enough to win and prevent the red planet from crashing into earth.

Seiji shielded his eyes as the attack hit its mark. Lovely and the others touched down on the ground waiting to see if it had any effect.

"Did it work?" He heard Ribbon next to him.

"I hope so…." He responded.

It felt like an eternity, the aftershock didn't clear and there was no sign of Red. The attack has to have done something! The light was starting to die down then, something shot out striking Honey. She crashed into some nearby rocks slipping out of her Innocent form.

"Honey!" Seiji heard Fortune call out as he gritted his teeth. Red had survived the attack without a scratch on him! And he looked like he was ready for more. He locked his eyes on Princess and faster than a blink of an eye he had trapped her in an energy field shocking her causing her to drop out of her Innocent form as well. Lovely and Fortune ran forward trying to draw Red's attention away from their fallen comrades but kept his bored expression blocking their attacks then punching Fortune hard in the gut creating a crater in the ground below them and she too lost her Innocent form. Now only Lovely remained standing.

"Megumi!" Seiji couldn't take it anymore, he started running towards the battle.

"Seiji what are you doing?!" Glassan called out to him.

"Something! I can't watch anymore!" Seiji ran as fast as he could but it felt like the distance between him and the battlefield was getting further rather than closer. He saw Lovely trying one more time to land an attack on Red but she too was hit and lost her Innocent form.

"Farewell…..Precure…." Red said firing lightning bolts at the four. Princess was the first to be hit and in her place, was a mirror.

"NO!" Seiji ran faster. Red was going to seal them away! Honey was next, then Fortune but there was still time. The bolt hadn't hit Lovely yet so if he could just get there. Ten feet, eight feet, six, three, one….

The bolt struck…..Seiji's fingers touched the backside of a mirror.

"No…." Seiji ran around to the front. He could see Megumi sleeping inside. "NO!" He clawed at the surface, banged on it, trying to desperately tear at those ribbons or just break through the surface and reach in. This just had to be a bad dream, Seiji blinked back tears. They were supposed to win, they were supposed to go home and celebrate Christmas together. Now Seiji could only grip the sides of the mirror and press his forehead against the surface, "Megumi…."

Red let out a laugh, "Blue's strongest warriors defeated! So much for love….."

Seiji let out a cry as he rushed Red fist raised. He was furious! Angry! Megumi and the others had fought their hardest over the past year and he was just mocking them! He had to pay! Red on the other hand looked bored and uninterested and simply caught Seiji's incoming fist without looking at him, "You think you can stop me? You're not even worth controlling again….."

Seiji tried to pull his fist back but it was caught in Red's grip so he tried to punch with his other fist but Red simply leaned out of the way. He tried to kick him next but couldn't get a good height on it due him being unable to move his arm out of the way. "This is really pathetic…" Red punched Seiji in the stomach, to the boy it felt like a sledgehammer as he collapsed to the ground but Red caught him by the back of his coat lifting him high enough off the ground that Seiji's toes barely scrapped the dirt. "You don't even have powers. You think you can succeed where your friends failed?" Seiji tried to retort but the coat's collar was cutting into his airway. Red threw him into nearby slab causing Seiji to cough out all the air in his lungs. "Humanity's last hope is one little boy thinking he can stand up to a god?" Red approached him as he tried to get back up only to get a kick in the face then placed a boot on his chest. "Just give up human, it's impossible to win."

Seiji felt his vision blur, he just wanted to sleep. No, he mentally slapped himself. Megumi wouldn't give up in a situation like this. He weakly grabbed Red's foot trying to lift it from his chest. "Are you still resisting?" Red asked disbelievingly, "You're just as stubborn as Blue!" He dug his heel further into Seiji's chest causing him to scream. "That's right! Scream! Cry about your helpless situation!"

Black was encroaching on Seiji's vision. I'm sorry everyone….I tried….

A flash of pink shoved Red off of him. Seiji couldn't make it out who but he could tell there was someone standing in front of him wearing the uniform of a Precure. Who was she?

Red seemed to know, "So now you're facing me Mirage?"

Seiji blinked, Mirage?! What was she doing here? And when could she transform?

"I'm not here alone Red…" Mirage calmly stated.

Now Seiji was even more confused, who else was here? The answer came in the form of comforting hands helping him up. It was Blue.

"Blue….I…." Seiji saw his concerned face, "I'm sorry…Megumi and the others…I…."

"Seiji…" Blue cut him off, "I know it's not your fault" A faint smile crossed Blue's face, "Right now I'm glad you're okay."

Red looked unamused, "Blue….you abandoned your precious planet to save the life of one human? You really are pathetic."

Blue just gave him a look like a parent would give to a misbehaving child, "I consider every life precious and worth saving. You once had similar feelings as well."

"Well look around you!" Red motioned to the wasteland around them, "Look where that caused me to end up!"

Blue didn't break eye contact, "You know as well as I do that there was still a chance."

"No…." Red became eerily calm, "No…..love is an illusion….happiness is an illusion." A dark aura collected around him, "Despair will reign supreme."

"Blue….I'll hold him off." Mirage said.

"Be careful…." Blue looped one of Seiji's arms over his head and helped him up. "Come one Seiji…"

"Why are you here?" Seiji asked.

"Mirage and I both felt something was wrong so we came. And it's a good thing we did….." Blue led Seiji to where Megumi and the others were sealed.

"Can you free them?"

Blue nodded, "Mirage should be able to distract Red long enough…." Blue held out his hand as it glowed blue as did the mirrors. The ribbons slowly peeled away from the surface even Seiji felt his own injuries ease in their pain. Maybe they can win after all.

Suddenly something slammed into them causing them roll in the dirt. When Seiji got up again, he saw that it was Mirage.

"Mirage!" Blue crawled over to her, "Are you alright?"

"Sorry Blue…" She gripped her arm in pain, "He caught on to us…."

Seiji looked up in horror as Red stood not that far away from them looking really ticked off. "So…you think you can distract me and free them? I'm really disappointed…." He held up his hand holding a black ball of energy that gave Seiji a feeling if that hit, it was over. "Goodbye…." He threw it.

Seiji closed his eyes and braced himself for impending doom, but it never came. Cracking an eye open, he saw why.

Blue had jumped in the way of the attack.

"BLUE!" Mirage screamed as he hit the ground scrambling over to him and rolled him onto his back. Seiji felt sick as he saw the burn on his chest.

"Blue…" Red sounded shocked, "Throwing your life away…..you are a god….why do you waste your time saving mortals?"

Blue tried to say something, but it only came out barely a whisper.

"Nothing to say? Fine…then…." Red began creating another ball, "This time I'll finish you off."

Blue looked up at Mirage and whispered something to her causing a shocked expression to cross her face but nodded, "Seiji…please come here. Blue wants to say something to you."

Seiji crawled over as fast as he could, "What is it Blue?"

Blue gave a glance to Red then back to Seiji and with the speed unexpected of an injured man, he grabbed the spot on his chest where the hatred crystal used to be.

"What are you…" Seiji's world went white.
