It was a dark and stormy night.
Two girls saw a lightning bolt strike from their homes. Their cell phones rang. They let the cell phones ring for a while, but the cell phones couldn't stand it any longer.
"Quickly! The place where you first became a Pretty Cure… struck by lightning! More strange activity is suspected! And no, I'm not talking Dusk Zone-level strange activity! This is something else!"
Nagisa got out of bed quickly. She put on a poncho over her pajamas and, grabbing Mepple, ran outside. However, she was careful enough to quickly write a note.
"GONE TO CHECK SOMETHING OUT. HOPE TO BE BACK SOON. -MISUMI NAGISA"
Homura, in her light blue cardigan and white dress, arrived with Mipple accompanying her. What Nagisa saw was people getting randomly struck by lightning and apparently being incinerated instantaneously. Mepple asked, "What do you make of it?"
Nagisa said, "Either it's a sentient lightning bolt or some thunder god I don't know about decided to mess around!"
Honoka took one look towards the chaotic scene and said, "It's very dangerous, but Pretty Cure can handle this, right?"
Nagisa charged right in with Mepple and also got struck by lightning. She appeared to be vaporized right before Honoka's eyes, leaving nothing behind but a pile of ashes.
"NAGISA!" Honoka yelled before she too was struck by lightning.
The world around her disappeared before her eyes.
However, she was still alive, and not even she could figure out how it was possible if she had been reduced to ashes by the sudden lightning strike.
That's because she wasn't.
Nor was Nagisa.
In fact, they, and the others struck by lightning, were instead being transported to a whole new universe.
