Back at Nanairogaoka, the Smile Precure team was still having a good time. They were back at Akane's restaurant and were once again eating okonomiyaki. Nao was the happiest to be eating, as she always had a large appetite.
"Delicious, as always Akane." Nao exclaimed. "I knew I was friends with you for a reason."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm amazing." Akane replied. All of a sudden Miyuki stood up and gasped.
"Miyuki?" Yayoi asked. Miyuki turned to her.
"I forgot something at home. I'm going to go get it, I'll be right back!" She said, already on her way out the door, with Candy in her bag.
"Miyuki…" Reika sighed. "What are we going to do with her?"
Just then they heard a load explosion, followed by a "What's this?!" from Miyuki. The four of them quickly stood up, before they even reached the door, they heard screams of pain.
"Miyuki!" Akane yelled desperately. When they got outside, they saw nothing. No signs that anything at all had happened. Nothing but Miyuki's bag with Candy standing near it.
"Candy! What happened?" Yayoi questioned frantically.
"I-I don't know-kuru! All of a sudden this shadowy thing showed up and before she could even transform, it had grabbed her-kuru! It dragged her into the ground, I couldn't do anything-kuru!" Candy managed to say between her tears. Before they could say anything else, shadows began to surround them. The sky darkened, and buildings began to crumble, all around them, they could see people being turned into stone.
"What is happening here?" Reika questioned. The girls barely had a moment to react before they, too were grabbed by the shadows.
"Let go of me!" Nao yelled, but to no avail. The four girls could't move as the shadows tightened their grip on them. They screamed in pain before they too were dragged into the ground.
"Everyone!" Candy cried helplessly.
The girls were still at the Natts house, Rin was busy designing new jewelry for the store, and Komachi was working on her novel. Syrup was helping Urara practice for an upcoming and Kurumi, also known as Milky Rose were attempting to help Nozomi with her homework, but they weren't getting very far.
"We're out of mame daifuku so I'm going to get some-coco." Coco said as he changed into his human form. Nozomi practically jumped up.
"I'll go with you!" She offered. Coco nodded, indicating that he accepted her offer.
"Hang on Nozomi, we're not done studying yet!" Kurumi exclaimed. Nozomi clapped her hands together.
"Please." She looked at her with her most innocent eyes. Kurumi just cringed.
"Its alright, just don't take too long." Karen stepped in. "We all need to take a break sometimes." She said.
"Yay! I'm going with Coco, It's decided!" She quickly got up and ran out the door, before Karen changed her mind. Once they got out the door the remaining group got back to what they were doing.
Before too long, however, they heard a loud explosion outside.
"Eh!?" They heard Nozomi exclaim. The group got up in a hurry to see what was going on. They heard Nozomi yell in pain.
"Nozomi!" They heard Coco yell. The team was outside in a split second, but by the time they got outside, the only thing they saw was Coco in his fairy form desperately grasping at the ground.
"Coco! What happened!" Rin questioned.
"It happened so fast-coco. I didn't see anything, a shadow came out of the ground and grabbed her before she could transform-coco! It took her into the ground!" He managed.
"What could be happening here?" Komachi questioned. No one could think of anything to say, but they did hear Rin say "Nozomi" worriedly under her breath. Just like that, they were surrounded by shadows, and the sky there also became grey. They could see people being petrified.
"What?" Karen exclaimed. They were all captured by the shadows and dragged into the ground. Coco, Nuts, and Syrup watched, unable to do anything but watch in horror.
"Precure!" Syrup yelled.
Hibiki, Kanade, Ellen, and Ako were happily eating cupcakes at the Lucky Spoon.
"Kanade's cupcakes are amazing-nya." Hummy said laying on her back.
"Umhm, can I have another?" Hibiki asked, handing her plate to Kanade.
"Hibiki, you've already had four." Ako said.
"Your point?" Hibiki asked, looking for clarification. Ako rolled her eyes. Ellen looked at the clock.
"Hibiki weren't you playing for the soccer team today?" She asked her. Hibiki looked at the clock, her eyes widened.
"Oh no! I'm late! Wish me luck! I'll be letting us girls down if we don't win!" she said dashing out the door.
"That girl-nya." Hummy said, still lying happily on the table.
Suddenly there was a loud explosion outside. Kanade stood up quickly.
"Hibiki!" She yelled, dashing out the door. The girls heard Hibiki gasp in pain, but when they reached the outside, nothing was out of place.
"It wasn't just my imagination was it?" Kanade said, hoping it was. Hibiki was fine, at least thats what she wanted to think. But the other two girls shook their heads.
"I heard it too." Ellen said. Suddenly the skies began to darken, and in the distance they could hear buildings falling. Eerily they didn't hear any screams, and when they turned they knew why. Everyone was turning into stone. Shadows began to surround them, but before they were able to transform, they were grabbed and dragged into the ground.
"Hibiki, Kanade, Siren, Ako!" Hummy exclaimed.
Similar scenes were being played out amongst all the Precure teams, Nagisa and Honoka had been taken while walking home from school. Hikari was on a break when the shadows got to her. Saki and Mai had been enjoying ice cream under the Sky Tree when they were taken.
Eventually all the Precure had been captured, and the rest of the world was in shatters. Who exactly was the mastermind behind this? And what were they going to gain by defeating the Precure?
Authors Note: Hey guys! I hope you enjoy this story as much as I'm enjoying writing. There is just one thing I want to clarify just for reference later. I know Hibiki and Kanade can't transform on their own, but for the sake of this story they can. I hope this doesn't make anyone too angry, anyways, please enjoy!
