Episode 1
Log In to Your Heart! Birth of a Pretty Cure!
WonderWorld, or W2 in short, is a new social media site which uses RPG-like interface, allowing the users navigating around the site using their own unique avatar as if their avatar is exploring a whole new world. It's well liked by young people due its cute appearance and handiness as all-in-one site which provides a lot of entertainment such as video hosting, games, forums and blogs. Despite its raising popularity worldwide, no one knows who created this site and where it comes from.
Ssshh… the secret is, WonderWorld is actually a junction between two worlds, the human world and the fairy world, and this site is run by friendly fairies from Binary Kingdom. The fairies oversee the human world through the small screens, and provide support to those in needs. Their task is to make sure that all humans can live a happy life.
But then an evil force slowly approaches WonderWorld…
Pii-pii-pii-pii-pii! An annoying sound echoed through the small bedroom.
A girl in her teenage softly groaned as she stirred under the blanket and reached out to the bedside table. She tapped the wooden surface several times, searching for the source of noise. After some struggle sweeping through the items on the messy table, knocking down some plushies in process, she finally found the rectangular device she was looking for: her phone. She frowned as she forced her sleepy eyes to read at the digital clock shown on the bright screen.
"It's already 7, huh?" Usami Reina muttered while dismissing the alarm. She actually reaaallly wanted to go back to sleep, as she only had around five hours of sleep and still feeling very tired. However, if she ever dared to close her eyes here and now, she would surely be late for school and made the teachers angry.
Mustering her willpower, the girl got up and stretched her body. She yawned widely as she forced her body to leave the warm bed. She took her glasses from the end table and looked around. The room was dimly lighted by the sunlight that passed through the curtain. Even without opening the curtain, she could already tell it was sunny outside; and probably pretty fine weather too.
She would have called it nice morning if only she hadn't been suffering from lack of sleep.
Her attention was then caught by a white laptop lying open on the desk beside her. A wry smile crossed her face as she recalled how she ended up staying up late the night before. It had been due some chat she had had with her online friends on WonderWorld site. Well, the chat had been fun, but it hadn't been anything important so basically she had missed her beauty sleep just for a pointless fun and she kind of regretted it now.
She really needed to sort her priority right.
Sighing, she gently pushed down the rim of screen to close her laptop and then return to her morning routine.
After ten minutes, Reina was done changing into her school uniform and had neatly braided her long purple hair. She exited her bedroom and went downstairs to the kitchen. Her house was usually quiet in the morning because her aunt she had been living with was a very busy person and usually went to work very early. Reina was used to this, finding nothing but a simple note pinned on the fridge stating when her aunt would get home on that certain day and what the older woman had prepared for Reina's breakfast, lunch, etc.
'…There was an emergency call so I didn't have time to prepare your lunchbox today. There are some ingredients in the fridge but in case you don't feel like cooking I also left behind some money…'
"I'll guess I'll be having some sandwiches in the canteen for lunch." Reina shrugged as she tossed aside the note. It wasn't like she didn't feel like cooking, it's just that preparing lunchbox needed a lot of time and she didn't think it could be done in time for school if she only started now. That's why, instead of wasting time on it she decided that she should just focus on making her breakfast.
She looked around the kitchen. There was some bread so she decided to toast them and cook a sunny side up. She arranged her breakfast on a plate and put it on the table. She then poured cold milk into a glass and placed it beside the plate. After moving the plate and glass around several times and adding a fork into the picture, she finally felt satisfied with the arrangement. She took her phone and took several photos of her breakfast. She picked a best shot then uploaded it right away to her W2 blog.
[Today's menu is western styled, sunny side up toast *heart*]
Smiling in content with her handy works, she finally put aside her phone and ate her breakfast. "Let's dig in." She softly said as she took the first bite.
Some minutes later, her phone started vibrating from new notifications. Still chewing her food, she took the phone with her free hand and started reading the messages.
[Wow, it looks so delicious!]
[Western styled? How lucky. We only have miso soup over here. I want something like that to for a change :( ]
[Good, but not enough for a bait. You should have added bacon :P ]
Reina smiled as she read her friends' comments on her new post.
[It IS delicious ;) ] She replied to the first comment.
[Aww, *pats you* I'll let you have a bite then :O] Was her reply to the second one.
She wasn't sure how to reply to the third one so she just left it as it was for now and get back to it later… well, maybe.
To be honest, she knew that her food wasn't anything special, but doing something like this somehow just raised her mood. It was nice to talk to someone in the morning even though it was just an exchange of silly comments. It successfully drove away her sleepiness and made her breakfast more fun.
This was Reina's way to start the day.
Kanazono is a small seaside town. Reina's school, Toumei Private Senior High School located just next to the beach. One could see a beautiful sea view from the road she usually took. The air was also clean with a tinge of sea salt taste. Under a nice whether like today, the short trip to school could become a nice energizing walk. It was something that would make one thinks that today would be a great day.
But then again, it might not make much impact if one had seen the same scenery for hundreds times. At least that was the case for Reina. She had been attending the same school for years that the sea view had become pretty dull for her, so Instead of admiring the scene, she would just look down at something more interesting, which was her phone.
"Morning!" Someone suddenly tapped her shoulder and greeted cheerfully.
Reina was startled with the sudden body contact. She quickly looked up from her phone and turned to the person who had just greeted her. On her left side, stood a classmate of hers; a short haired girl with a wide cattish smile. Reina recalled that the name was Nekoyama… something.
"Good morning, um, Nekoyama." Reina replied hesitantly.
Nekoyama stared at Reina's face and tilted her head. "Why do you look so low spirited? You shouldn't be mourning so early in the morning!"
Reina blinked several times as she tried to process Nekoyama's word play. Not sure how to reply to the joke, she could only give an awkward reply to her classmate. "Uh… I guess I'm just still a bit sleepy."
Nekoyama furrowed her brows slightly; probably feeling a little disappointed by Reina's bland reaction to her puns. But then she quickly wiped off that expression and returned to her cheerful persona. "Well then, see you in class, Usagi!"
Reina's brow twitched as Nekoyama called her with a wrong name. She could only stared at Nekoyama's back as the latter ran ahead to greet other students. She sighed heavily. She just wasn't good at handling overly cheerful people like Nekoyama. She already felt tired just by exchanging greetings with that girl.
Reina sighed once again before she held up her phone and returned her attention to it. Actually, she had the option to greet some classmates in front of her instead of playing with her phone, but the thought of approaching them first just make her feel more uneasy so she decided to just keep looking down at her phone, pretending that she didn't notice their presence.
Reina accessed W2 site and browsed through the notice board to look for some interesting news or update since she hadn't had the chance to do that earlier. She then visited her friends' pages and read their new entries. Once in a while she would leave a comment on their posts, just like how they had done on hers earlier. She also got back to her homepage to check on some unread messages in the virtual mailbox. She remembered that there was a comment on her breakfast post that she hadn't replied yet. It was a tricky one to reply, so she needed to think her words thoroughly and retyped her reply several times before she finally pushed the send button.
This was one of the reasons why she preferred texting over verbal communication: she could take her sweet time thinking of the best way to rephrase her thought before presenting it to the other party.
Several minutes and a couple of message exchanges later, a strange message showed up her inbox. It caught her attention because the title said [HELP WANTED], written in capitalized letter. She raised a brow, wondering what it was about. However, just as she was about to open the message, a teacher with huge build suddenly appeared before her and she almost bumped into him.
"No phone allowed during school hour." The teacher said sternly. His expression clearly indicated that he was unimpressed on how the girl had been too absorbed with the little device in her hand and failed to notice his presence until they had been only a meter away from each other.
"Oh... Right. I'm sorry." Reina quickly apologized. She shoved her phone into her pocket and bowed to him.
The teacher glared at the top of her head for a while before he finally turned away and entered the classroom. Sensing that he had already gone, she slowly straightened her back and sighed in relief.
To think that she would have run into a scary teacher like Mr. Sanada early in the morning and had gotten scolded even before the class started yet…
She must have a bad luck today.
Reina usually stick to her commitment not to check on her phone during class, but today she wasn't able to focus on the lesson as the phone in her pocket kept bugging her from time to time.
'Strange,' she thought. She was sure she had turned off the notification just before Mr. Sanada's literature class began. She couldn't help wondering what was wrong with it and her mind trailed off to that one strange message she hadn't gotten the chance to read earlier. What was that about? Could it be all of these notifications came from that message? Perhaps… Perhaps she should just take a short look at it. Surely the teacher wouldn't noti-
"Hey you!"
Her heart skipped a beat as the loud, familiar voice rang through the room. She quickly dismissed the thought of secretly checking her phone as she watched Mr. Sanada scolding her classmate for dozing off in class.
"Hey, isn't Mr. Sanada just too much?" One student whispered to another.
"I know right? We can't help that his class is just too boring," Said the other in low voice.
"That reminds me. I once forgot to bring my homework and he made me redo everything four times-"
The conversation was cut off when the teacher suddenly looked away from the student he was scolding and gazed at the rest of the class with skeptical look. It was so scary that no one dared to say a word until the class ended.
Reina excused herself to the restroom as soon as the morning class ended. She went inside one of the empty cubicles and closed the door behind her. She fished out her phone as she leaned her back to the door and then turned on the screen.
She read how she had received a lot of reminder notifications about that certain unread message.
She couldn't help getting more intrigued by that message, but at the same time she also felt a bit scared to open it. What was it about? Why did it look so urgent?
She took a deep breath then pressed the open button. She held her breath as she read the head of the message.
Title: HELP WANTED
Sender: Administrator Ultra
"An admin?" Reina knitted her brow as she read the sender's information. What in the world would an admin want from a normal user like her? Curious, she continued reading the message.
HELP WANTED
Dear Ms. [REINA],
Thank you for your continued support to WonderWorld. Along with this message, we have to regretfully inform you that WonderWorld is undergoing some issue at the moment and we need your assistance to resolve it.
Please click [Proceed] if you're willing to go with this; otherwise, please delete this message within 24 hours.
Providing help regarding the site issue, huh? The girl wondered what it was about. W2 looked just fine to her, but since one of the admins had gone to a length to request assistance from users, she supposed there was really something that could only be done by her.
She shrugged and without a second thought, clicked the [Proceed] button.
A loading screen appeared then suddenly went blank. It scared her for a bit when she thought that the phone might have just crashed. After a while, much to her relief, something appeared in the middle on the screen. She recognized it as a kind of user avatar from W2. The avatar was drawn in cutesy style; it had pale purple body, fluffy dark purple fur balls as his ears and tail, and several magenta heart-shaped marks on his face. It also wore a short magenta cape around its neck with a heart golden broach on the front.
The avatar sat in the middle of the screen, appeared to be sleeping. He then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Reina. It blinked several times before a huge smile bloomed on his cute face.
"Piku!"
She jolted in surprise as a small squeak-like voice came out the speaker.
"Um… [REINA], isn't it?" The avatar spoke up. "My name is [Pixel]. Starting from today I'll be your partner. Nice to meet you!"
The said girl was lost for words. She hadn't expected that the avatar would be able to talk to her. What was this thing, exactly? Was it a sort of game? A virtual pet game? Or was it a new navigator feature for the site?
Reina scowled as she couldn't figure out what it was and what she was supposed to do with it. She tapped around the screen in hope that she would find a lead. She expected there would be a hidden menu button somewhere but nothing happened. She tried again, this time tapping right on Pixel. Perhaps the menu would happen if she could trigger an interaction with him.
"H- hey, what are you doing?" Pixel looked bewildered when she tapped on stomach repeatedly.
Reina didn't stop despite his complain. Instead, she began tapping on different body parts such as the heart marks on his forehead and ears to see if there would be different reaction.
"Oww! Oww! Stop!" The avatar yelped as if it really felt a pain. "I… said… STOP!"
Whoosh! Something suddenly crashed onto Reina face and everything became pitch black for a moment. She lost her balance and fell on her butt.
"Geeeeez!"
She heard Pixel's voice, but this time was much clearer than before.
Rubbing her aching nose she slowly opened her eyes.
And then she saw a plushie which looked exactly like Pixel, hovering in the air.
"Ky- AAAAHHHH!" She instinctively shrieked.
"SSSHHH!" Pixel swiftly flew toward her and covered her mouth. "You're too loud!"
She could feel how his small hands were pressed against her lips and they were just… they felt so real!
"What… are you?" she asked hesitantly. The thing before her eyes was certainly a being she could physically touch, unlike a mere projected hologram.
After making sure she wouldn't scream anymore, he step back then sat on her knees. "I'm Pixel. A fairy from [Binary Kingdom]."
"Fairy? Binary?" She tried to repeat his words but they just didn't register in her mind.
"To put in simply, I came from a fairy world located on the other side of WonderWorld." He tried to explain.
"W- WonderWorld?" She suddenly remembered about the site and the strange message she had received. "That request…"
"Right! It's good that you can catch up quickly!" The fairy paused for a while and cleared his throat before he started his explanation. "You see, WonderWorld is actually a bridge that connects the human world with our world. We fairies from Binary Kingdom have a sacred duty to look over human's life through WonderWorld and protect their happiness. However, one day an evil group called [Infinity] suddenly appeared and hacked into our server. They slipped into WonderWorld and infected it with malice power to spread missery into the human world. It's just really terrible! We have to stop them at any cost and for that, we need your power!"
Silence filled the room as Pixel finished his story. He stared at the girl intently, waiting for her reaction. He was a bit worried that it might be too complex for her to grasp. She seemed like a smart girl, but the concept of other world should be a whole new thing to her. He couldn't blame her if she couldn't process all of the information at once.
"I… see. I… get it now." Reina finally opened her mouth and spoke slowly.
His round eyes sparkled with hope as soon as he heard her reply. "Y- You do?" It was beyond his expectation that she would have understood so easily.
"Seems like I'm starting seeing things due the lack of sleep…" She said as she held her head and glanced sideway.
Pixel comically fell down and cried out in desperation. "NO, THAT'S NOT IT!" He scratched his head and spun around in the air. This was harder than he had expected. Let alone understanding about Binary Kingdom and WonderWorld's real form, this girl was even still in denial about his existence and everything that had happened before her own eyes.
The little fairy sighed heavily; this would take time just to convince her that everything was real. He folded his arms and started raking his brain to find a better way to explain the circumstance to her... and make her believe that he was, indeed, real.
The two of them stared at each other in silence. One minute, two minutes… time passed without anyone saying anything. Occasionally, Pixel would open his mouth, but then he quickly shut it tight again. He was still struggling to find the right words.
Reina herself didn't know what to do. Everything seemed unreal to her to the point she started thinking that this might be just a dream.
It had to be a dream.
This fairly before her could not possibly exist. It hadn't just popped out from her phone. No, there was no way something like this could have happened in real world. This was not some game where one could summon an item out of thin air… not to mention the ground had started shaking and her ears could picked up faint sounds of people's scream.
This was just so wrong; it couldn't be real...
Reina was too preoccupied with her own thought that she failed to notice the change in Pixel's expression.
"Earthquake? No, this bad feeling is…" The fairy scowled as he eyed the door behind Reina. He then quickly rose up, flew passed her head and slipped through the gap between the ceiling and the top of toilet's stall.
"Wha-" Reina was a second late to realize that Pixel had gone from her sight. "Wait!"
She ran after the fairy to the hallway. At first she was worried about what would happened if Pixel got seen by the other students, but it turned out no one even paid attention to the flying stuffed-animal-like creature. Everyone's attention was stolen by something else. They all gathered by the windows and some of them even had their phone out to record whatever was happening outside. Curious, she peeked through the small gaps in crowd and there she saw… a huge, two-stories tall monster was rampaging on the school ground.
"Shiraneeeeeee!" The monster's cried out as it smashed the ground, leaving huge crater.
Reina took a step back and turned around.
"Wait, where are you going?" Pixel asked as he saw Reina's sudden detour.
"…Infirmary. There's definitely something wrong with my head."
"Wait, wait! REINA! Stop being in denial! You've got to do something about this!" He pulled one of her braids in attempt to stop her.
"Owww!" She cringed in pain and tried to shake him off. "It hurts! Let me go!"
Despite her complain, he kept pulling her hair and use it just like a leash to drag her to the opposite direction.
A red haired man in black suit stood at the top of the fence. At first glance, he looked like a normal, high-class business man, but one would realize right away that something was off with him. His face looked so thrilled while he was watching the monster destroying everything.
"Good! Good! Keep it up, boy. Destroy everything!" He said, laughing maniacally.
"Shiraneeeeeeeeee!" The monster cried as it obeyed the man's command and smashed more trees.
"Hahahaha!"
….
Several meters away from them, two shadows sneaked behind the bushes.
"Just as I thought, it's the Infinity." Pixel grimaced. "To think that they've made such a bold move… things might have gone worse than we've predicted."
"Just what is that thing?" Reina whispered as she crouched down beside the fairy. Not even in her wildest dream she had ever hoped she would have witness something as absurd as this. Wait, this was a dream, right? Or it wasn't? God, it was just so confusing!
"That, is a [Shiranee]," Pixel said as he pointed at the monster. "They're monster that was born from human's misery."
Now that she could see the monster up close, Reina noticed that the monster looked like a gigantic textbook that had somehow grown legs and claw-like hands. It also got a face with a pair of big, yellow droppy eyes on the front cover. There was a red X mark on its forehead.
Such a ridiculous looking monster.
"And that man, he is from Infinity," Pixel continued. "He's the one controlling the monster."
Reina shift her attention to the red haired weirdo. Indeed it looked like the monster obeyed to his commands.
"No one come, huh? This is no fun." The red haired villain muttered. He then looked at the school building and narrowed his eyes. His lips curved, forming an evil smile. He called out to the monster as he pointed at the building. "Shiranee, destroy the school!"
Reina gasped as she covered her mouth. 'What? But everyone's still there!' She thought in horror.
"This is bad!" Pixel panicked seeing the monster had started moving toward the school building. He quickly turned to Reina and pleaded. "You have to stop it!"
"What? How?" She was flabbergasted.
Pixel grabbed on her collar. "There's no other choice than to fight!"
"What? Fight? That's impossible! I can't!"
"Yes you can! No, to be exact, only you can! The reason why you were chosen was because you're-"
Pixel's word was cut when suddenly a shadow was casted upon them.
"Ho? Looks like we've got a company here…"
The red haired Infinity suddenly appeared before them. Reina instinctively grabbed Pixel and hold him against her chest.
The man looked really pleased as he noticed how her face had lost its color. His eyes narrowed into slits. "You don't have to be so scared, young lady. I won't hurt you as long as you listen to what I say." He bent down, slowly enclosing the distant between him and Reina, then reached out his hand toward her.
Reina's mind urged her to run away from this man, from this nightmare, but her legs had suddenly lost their strength.
"Now, come here..." His words were sweet but latched with poison.
She held her breath as his hand got closer and closer to her face…
Pixel then suddenly jumped out and headbutted the man's chin.
"OW!" The man groaned in pain as he took a step back. He rubbed his chin and glared at the thing that had just crashed into his face.
"I won't let you lay a finger on her!" Pixel shouted at the man. He then turned to Reina and urged her to retreat. "Run! I'll hold him back somehow so you should get back first and tell everyone to run away!"
"But-"
"GO!"
"A fairy, huh? So the Fairy Queen has finally made her move," The man chuckled as he rubbed his chin. "But it's too late!" He suddenly charged at the fairy, swung his fist and hit Pixel.
"Pixel!" Reina screamed as she saw Pixel's small body was sent flying.
"Hmph, what can you possibly do with that useless body." The man scorned. He then smiled sadistically as he turned to Reina. "This girl, as well as all this world, we'll drown them in misery."
"Don't!" Pixel forced his body to stand up then run toward the man. He jumped and hopped on the man's head and started pulling his red hair.
"You're annoying!" The man grunted as he tried to pull Pixel away. He grabbed the fairy's body then slammed it onto the ground. "Fine then, if you want me to finish you so badly." He then raised his foot and kicked the fairy.
"Stop it!" Reina threw herself to catch Pixel then secured the fairy in her arms as she slide on the ground.
The man was slightly taken aback when he saw her action, but quickly regained his composure as he gazed coldly the girl, who by now had been covered with bruises and dirt. "I thought you're supposed to run away. Why did you stay and throw yourself just to save that useless fairy?"
Reina gritted her teeth as she tried to pull herself together and faced the evil man. "Of course I wanted run away... If possible I'd get away from this place as fast as possible but…. I just can't leave this kid alone, can I?!"
She was really scared. A monster went on rampage on her school, a cruel and heartless evil man who found joy in torturing others… This was just crazy she wished it had really been just a bad dream. However, she couldn't just run away and pretend that everything was a mere illusion, not when Pixel getting hurt from trying to protect her.
"Tell me, Pixel…" She whispered on the fairy's ear. "What am I supposed to do? How should I fight this?"
"Reina…" Pixel widened his eyes then his gaze softened as he smiled. "Thank you." The fairy then took off the heart broach from his cape. "Quick, give me your phone."
She did what he told her and gave him her phone. He then placed his broach on the top of the phone and it glowed. The phone's shape changed as the two items merged into one. Her originally black phone turned into white, with a pink heart gem replacing the home button; there was also a golden heart emblem similar to the broach's design on its back.
"With this, you can fight as a legendary warrior, [Pretty Cure]." Pixel said.
"Pretty… Cure?" She repeated his words as she stared at the glowing phone in her hand.
"What are you guys mumbling about? Moreover, what was that light?" The red haired man shouted in annoyance. He could feel that something would happen if he let them stay like that. The man charged at them and tried to take the suspicious glowing item, but then it suddenly shone brighter and formed a barrier around Reina and Pixel. "ARGH!" He groaned as he was thrown back.
Reina closed her eyes as the light enveloped her body. Suddenly her body became so light that it felt as if she had been floating in the air. She felt something soft and light, like silk ribbons, touched her skin and wrapped parts of her body. The pain from her wounds also disappeared gradually.
Her eyes fluttered open as her foot touched the ground. She didn't know how, she was supposed to be lying on the ground, but after the strange floating sensation, she suddenly found herself already standing on her two feet.
"What is this?" She muttered as she looked at her hands. By the time she came to her sense, her appearance had completely changed. She was now wearing a flashy looking pink and white one piece dress, with a pink heart broach on her left chest. Her outfit was compiled with a pair of black tights, white boots and black leather gloves. Her hair also changed into light purple color and is arranged in high fluffy twin tails. They were so long but they didn't feel heavy at all. It was as if her hair was made of cotton.
"How did you?" The red haired Infinity was bewildered seeing how the girl before him just literally transformed. Moreover, this girl gave off a really different vibes from before. She was so different to the point he suddenly sensed threats coming from her. He quickly stepped back and called out to his underling monster. "Shiranee! Go get her!"
"Shiraneeee!" The monster changed its track then charged toward Reina.
She stepped one foot behind to form a defensive stance. The monster threw a punch with its right hand. It was very fast and powerful, but somehow she was just able to see it coming and dodged it in time. The monster used its other hand to make a swiping move and aimed at her stomach; once again she was able to see it and successfully blocked it. She jumped back, somersaulted then landed on the top of the fence.
Her body felt really light. Her vision, physical ability and agility had increased so significantly that it made her feel that she was in someone else's body. She tightened her fists. This just might work.
The book-shaped monster ran toward her. It tried to attack her again, but she jumped into the air as soon as it almost hit her. The monster lost its balance and she used the chance to counter attack. She repeatedly kicked its face then once it was about to fall, she punched it as hard as she could to knock it down.
"Shiranee…" The monster growled.
"Yosh, just a little more." Reina said to herself. But then, just as she was about to launch another attack, she suddenly heard a weak voice.
"…listen to me…"
She looked around to find the source of the voice, but it was neither Pixel nor the Infinity guy.
"They just won't listen to me…"
"Huh? Don't tell me…" She looked down at the monster. Could it be that the voice came from it?
"My students just won't listen me. Even though it's actually for their sake… I want them to study properly so that they can grow up into fine adults but… All they do are fooling around. They keep doing things halfway and I always end up scolding them for that. In the end, it just makes them drift away from me. What should I do? Why can't I reach out to them? I'm such a failure for a teacher."
"What is this feeling?" Reina clenched her fist on the top of her chest. Somehow it hurt. Listening to this voice pained her heart.
"That's misery." Pixel said as he fly to her side. He, too, had a pained expression on his face. "Infinity takes advantage of human's negative emotion. They cause people to drown in sorrow and turn them into Shiranee."
Upon hearing his explanation, she turned at the Shiranee in horror. "You mean, this monster is actually a human? Moreover, one of the teachers?"
"Teacher, huh? I remember that useless old man did refer himself something like that. Well, it doesn't matter anymore, right? He has given up on it anyway." The red haired Infinity commander cackled.
The monster wailed. Reina bit her lips hearing its heartbreaking voice. They must be hurting inside. This was just so cruel. Her teacher had done their best for the students yet Infinity trampled over their feelings.
"Don't laugh." She muttered under her breath as she glared at the red head.
He shifted his attention and looked down at her. "Come again?"
"You don't have the right to laugh at someone else's hard work!" She snapped.
"Ha? Hard work? Hh, all he did was complaining though." He sneered.
"That's not true! Mr. Teacher had a high dream for his student, that's why he blamed himself when he's unable to meet his own expectation." She then turned to the Shiranee and shouted at it. "Also, this is not time to feel down! Don't you know what situation we're facing? The students must be scared after seeing such commotion. Shouldn't you be at their side to calm them down and guide them? Please hang in there, Mr. Teacher!"
"Hmph, as if your words can reach it. Crush her, Shiranee!" The red head Infinity shouted as he pointed his finger at Reina. However, much to his surprise, Shiranee didn't budge and ignore his order. "Huh? Why?" He looked at Shiranee in bewilderment.
"Her words actually reached!" Pixel exclaimed as he saw the monster's strange behavior. He quickly turned to her. "It's your chance! You have to purify the monster to return the teacher to his original state."
"Purify- but how?"
Just as Reina questioned about it, the heart gem on her chest suddenly felt warm and glowed. Words suddenly came into her head and somehow, she just knew exactly what to do.
She clasped her hands on her chest. She closed her eyes and started chanting. "Sadness, pain, and worries… I'll embrace all of them!" She shot her eyes open and spread her arms. "[Precure Dramatic Synchronize!]"
Ray of light appeared and shot through Shiranee. Light then covered it; its size gradually become smaller and turned into a human figure. The figure slumped into the ground as the light slowly faded away.
"What? It was Mr. Sanada all along?" Reina was surprised when she recognized the stern teacher's face.
"Tsk! I didn't expect this." The red haired Infinity frowned as he witnessed his monster got purified. "Girl, just what on earth are you?"
Reina turned and looked straight at the man's red eyes. She didn't realize since when she had stopped feeling intimidated by him. She breathed calmly and then, just like when she had been about to purify the monster, words just came into her mind.
"I am… [Cure Actor]."
That's it! I hope you're satisfied with the first episode n_n Tbh, I'm not used with referring a chapter as episode, but since I saw people used episode instead of chapter here and made the chapter feel like an actual anime episode, I thought I'd also try it out (that's why this become so long since I needed to end the episode with something dramatic).
Hope you like the story so far. Please review and tell me what do you think of the story and the characters, especially Reina/Actor. Concrits are always welcome :D
Oh, speaking of which, Cure Actor has become a kind of mascot cure in a certain pretty cure site/forum called "Pretty Cure Forum". Please check it out as well if you have time :D
See you!
