The ships landed in a huge city with tons of flowers.
"We cant fight properly here, so I called in a favor." Hope said.
"A favor?" Carlson asked.
"Apparently, a certain plant loving guild we know has made permanent residence in this town under the guise of a flower shop." Jexi said.
"Wait, are you guys talking about Heaven's Garden?" Usopp asked.
"Oh yeah. Apparently, they have been hiding here after losing to Spectra Force. Since this place is known for a blooming town, it makes it a perfect place." Jexi said.
They walked down the street to see a shop labeled "Heavenly Flowers." Inside was Grace herself as she handed a flower to a woman.
"Here you go and remember, these flowers bloom with light and up to high heaven." Grace said happily before seeing the group. "Oh no. Them." she said hiding behind the counter.
"Is she hiding from us?" Carlson asked.
"Grace, we arent Spectra Force." Hope said. "I called your number."
"I know. But you guys still hurt plants." Grace said. "I can't focus on you guys, especially the flat chested meister."
"Hold on, you mean…" Jexi said as maka flushed red.
"Maka's… got nothing up front…" Soul said.
"Hey! I don't need anything like that!" Maka said.
"Look, Grace. What's it gonna take to stay here for a while." Jexi asked.
"Hmm. Okay, I'll let you stay on a few conditions. You will eat no meat in here, harm no plants, take care of these plants and one of you must work down here at all times." Grace said.
"Fine. Deal." Jexi said shaking her hand.
"So, who's gonna work with grace here?" Hope asked. "None of us are gardeners."
"What? Now that is a bold face lie. I happen to be very gifted with plants. How else do I keep cultivating my popgreens?" Usopp boasted.
"Okay. Thanks for volunteering." Grace said.
"Huh? Oh dang it!" he said.
"Say, youre pretty plugged in here. You wouldnt happen to know the school that these girls go to?" Hope said showing the four normal girl photos.
"I know the red head. Her grandmother runs a flower shop like I do. The school this girl attends isn't too far. Should be easy to find. Its their week of the School Festival." Grace said.
"Oh. Well this is gonna be easy than." Carlson said. "But in order to further watch these girls, we'll need someone here to pose as a student."
"Is this school a high school?" Sunset asked.
"Yes. But you girls cannot go. Well, Sci-Twi can go, but we need a boy to go in hand with her." Carlson said.
"If its not too much trouble...I would like to volunteer for this." Nagito said walking into the building. "You all have so much talent and I am a nothing. So, I figured playing the student could be perfect to support all of your talents."
"Nagito, you are special, youre the Ultimate Lucky Student, right?" Hope said.
"True. I have been blessed with good luck. When I was on a plane, it crashed in the desert. I was the only one to escape unharmed, next to an oasis. My luck is all I have to depend on." Nagito said. "And with it, I will push all of you even further on our journey."
"Dont sell yourself short. But you can still help us. Now get in there." Hope said.
"Yes." Nagito said. "Come on, Twilight."
"Okay. Feels weird though, like a date." Sci-Twi said.
"It'll be fine. Besides, I'll be watching the campus in order to make sure nothing goes wrong." Carlson said.
The two came to the school and saw everyone getting the school ready for the festival. They then saw a girl around their age with dark purple hair and glasses in a school uniform.
"Yuri, youre going home already?" siad as girl with a box coming up behind her.
"First Precure located, Yuri Tsukikage." Nagito said into his earpiece.
"Easy. Keep eavesdrop distance, dont go to em yet." Carlson said.
"Yes, we completely understand." Nagito said as they continued to listen.
"Yes, I have things to do." Yuri said.
"Well my class is basically done." the girl said showing a box of creatures resembling Classic Yo-kai.
Yuri smiled as she left.
"Carlson, it would appear Yuri is leaving early from school." Nagito said.
"Hmm. Thanks for the info. I'll have someone keep tabs on her. For now, go find the student council room. You'll likely find the other three girls in there." Carlson said.
"We're on it." Sci-Twi said.
They approached the next room where they saw Erika and Itzuki there.
"Okay, those are the other two. Go in and mingle." Carlson said.
"Got it. Man, we never are this organized in Kadic." Sci-Twi said.
"Well, you have to mix it up." Nagito said walking into the room. "Excuse me ladies. I was wondering if you needed more help with the School Festival. I thought that women of high talents like yours could need the help of two ordinary students."
"What should we do? Only 3 days left! We get 30 minutes and 7 people are walking… no no, its 9 people.. We still need to make the signs and posters… ah, ighting too!" Erika said.
"It like were not even here…" Twilight said.
"Oh, we heard you." Itzuki said sorting a few clothes. "Erika, all the clothes are ready for the show."
"Clothes, Okay… clothes, okay…" Erika said.
"Not yet!" said a new girls voice as Tsubomi was frantically sewing a dress for the show as Erika changed the status.
"Here." Nagito said. "Can i try?"
As soon as Nagito got onto the machine, it suddenly started moving fast with the dress inside. But surprising the room, it came out perfect, finished and beautiful.
"Well, looks like my luck is still super high." Nagito said laughing.
"Whoa! Youre really lucky to do that!" Erika said. "Youre not from here, right? I've seen you before, um… what was youre name again?"
"Oh. Forgive me. I never gave you my name. I'm Nagito Komaeda. I am a recent transfer from Hope's Peak." Nagito said.
"Hopes Peak? Wasnt that shut down almost a year ago?" Itsuki asked.
"Yes. But its up and running again after so long." Nagito said calmly.
"I'm Twilight. I'm here from CHS." Twilight said. "We figured we could see what could be learned here and share it with others."
"In that case, stay as much as you like. If you'll excuse me, i have some documents to stamp." Itzuki said picking up one of the weird dolls on the table.
"Theres a meeting with the other classes, so we have to get going too." the other student said as they left.
"Youre all part of the executive committee, right? Just leave this to us and go." Tsubomi said.
The girls soon left leaving only the four of them in the room.
"Youre not fooling anyone." Nagito said.
"Hm? With what?" Tsubomi said.
"Youre dolls." Nagito said poking one of them making them move. "They aren't dolls."
"Exposed!" the pink one said floating into the air.
"Yikes! Dont reveal this to anyone!" Erika said.
"We wont, we'll keep your secret, Tsubomi, Erika." Twilight said.
"You know our names?" Tsubomi asked.
"All we can say is that we are people who support what you do in this city and wish for it to keep on going." Nagito said. "We want to support your talents."
"Well, we'll believe that." Tsubomi said.
"Now get to work helping us." Erika said as Nagito and Twilight got to sewing.
"That was amazing. Nice negotiation." Twilight whispered.
"Its no problem. I just spoke from my beliefs and my heart." Nagito said.
"It worked." Twilight said as the two creatures floated around them.
"Thank you for keeping our secret. We're the ones who accompany the Precure." The red one said. "My name is Chypre and the one near me is Coffret. We're fairies."
"So, how did you figure out we were living beings. We were so still." Coffret said.
"Oh. I didn't. I just took a guess using my luck." Nagito said.
"You must be really lucky. Arguably one of the luckiest humans." Chypre said.
"Thats because Hope's Peak Had him on file. He was called the Ultimate Lucky Student. He was picked by lottery." Sci-Twi said.
"Yes. My luck truly knows no bounds. Like winning a jackpot at my first try at a slot machine." Nagito said.
"So, did you enjoy Hope's Peak?" Erika asked.
"Well, yes. I find myself in funny situations with my class mates. For instance, Kazuichi always seems to be in some sort of pain whenever he and I are around. I paid for a soda from a vending machine, but out of nowhere he hits the ground the same time as a truck landed on the machine. I won jackpot and got a lot of sodas from it." Nagito said.
"Wow! You need to tell us your capers at Hopes peak someday!" Erika said.
"I dont see why not. I'll tell you the day all of us were gathered together in the academy after were finished here." Nagito said.
"Just dont get to into it." Sci-Twi whispered. "They dont want to find out about the...thing..?"
"Of course. I would be better to keep that to ourselves. Besides, I have a permanent reminder of that." Nagito said showing a robotic arm to Twilight.
"When did you get that?" Twilight asked.
"Your fox friend made it for me. He truly is helpful to those in need of a new limb." Nagito said.
"Just ask Yang." Twilight siad.
They spent most of the days preparing for the show, until one day in a darkened room, a boy was watching a movie he created.
"Can I make it by tomorrow?" he asked himself as he watched the film before seeing a red, blue and yellow explosion before seeing a man with red hair covering one eye appear in it. "Huh? What's this? I don't remember shooting this. I can't make it like this!"
"I'll be destorying that movie of yours!" said a voice from the same man.
"Youre..!" the boy said.
"Kumojacky." the man said before gazing into a flower with his red eye. "Youre heart flower is wilting. I'll be taking it. Come out, heart flower!" Kumojacky said turning the boy into a blue crystal and expelling a spherical part. He then picked up a case of film.
"Desertian, your turn!" he called out as the crystal and the films fused to create a large monster with film rolls for hands and a projector for a head.
Meanwhile, the others were with a photographer student when the monster appeared. Nagito took notice.
"Ah! Look!" Nagito said. "It would appear a horrid monster has appeared near the quad!"
Carlson heard this through the earpiece and got serious. "Thanks. Head to the quad and evacuate the students. I can handle the monster." Carlson said.
Back at the quad itself...
"I'll never be able to finish my movie by tomorrow!" A distorted voice said as the Desertian rampaged.
"It talks?" Nagito said.
"Derstians are reflections of ones true thoughts and feelings when a heart flower is exposed and wilted. What youre hearing isnt from the monster but from the heart." Tsubomi said.
"I cannot finish my movie by tomorrow, so the school festival will be cancelled." it said smashing its hands on a sign.
"Arent you gonna do something?" Twilight asked.
"Were helping you, and we cant transform now with all these civilians here." Tsubomi said. "I do want to help, but…"
Kumojacky then appeared on top of the school.
"Looks like the Precure have turned tail and ran scared." Kumojacky said smirking.
"They may not be here right now, but i am!" Carlson said going in front of the movie Desertian and holding his badge for Kumojacky to see. "Subject 20117, Kumojacky. General to the Desert Apostles. By the authority of the Universal Police, I'm placing you under arrest!"
"Interesting. But first you have to get past this! Get him, Desertian!" Kumojacky said as it charged and Carlson rolled out of the way. Behind a building, Yuri watched.
Almost instantly, a makeup compact style device flashed and restored a purple chip. Yru grabbed both and uttered these words.
"Precure, open my heart!" she declared.
She placed the chip into the compact and spun the inside, making it vanish. Her clothes and hair began changing as she did this. A magical girl uniform appearing on her body as she styled her hair to a front point and putting the compact on her chest.
"The flower that glistens in the light of the moon, Cure Moonlight!"
She appeared on the scene and backed up Carlson.
"Yuri!" Tsubomi said.
"Good. I was worried for a bit." Nagito said calmly.
"How are you so calm at a time like this?!" Erika said shocked.
The two faced the monster down.
"If only there wasnt a school festival…" the voice said.
"Okay, i'll draw its fire while you…" Carlson said before Moonlight dashed ahead. "Or you could just go ahead and fight, that works too."
He pulled a futuristic laser pistol out and shot the Desertian while Moonlight used close quarters combat. "This things in trouble. I was an ace sharpshooter back in the academy."
They knocked it back.
"So, you;re okay with this? Destroying property and endangering lives?" Carlson said.
"He is right, are you not going to regret this? Think for yourself!" Cure Moonlight said.
"I…" it said.
"Enough of this! Its time for this." Kumojacky said. He unfuled his sleeve and revealed a black band with a crystal.
"Ah…" Nagito said feeling the exact dark pressure from back then.
"Fall into darkness and be controlled by a dark heart!" Kumojacky said. "Dark Bracelet!"
Kumojacky turned into pure darkness as he entered the Desertrian, turning it completely evil.
Tsubomi and Erika gasped.
"This was so not in the briefing…" Carlson said.
"I'll be your opponents now!" Kumojacky said inside the thing. "But first...you need to go, you pathetic officer!"
"Oh no, look out!" Moonlight said as he dodged the lasers. He was then backed up against the wall.
"Hahahahahah! Now youre mine!" Kumojacky said.
"Under his vision, he sees me as a weak bug that can be stamped out. Well, we might not be as special as heroes, but one thing is clear….I'm a bringer of justice." Carlson said pointing the gun to his head. "A cop!"
"What? Youre gonna shoot yourself?" Kumo jaky said.
Suddenly, the vision around him buzzed as a dark blue light appeared in his hands. And a voice came.
"I am thou… thou art i."
"I haven't even begun to show you what I'm capable of! There's been something buzzing around inside me for a long while. Now it comes out! Persona!" Carlson shouted.
He shot the gun and he didnt die, but something shattered and he exploded into blue light.
"Thou hath opened thine eyes. The time is now!"
At HQ…
"Sarge! Getting readings from Dp 23! New energy readings are going through the roof!" an officer said.
"Its the same as some of those other rookies from the academy this year." another said.
"By god. I should have known. He's an Enhanced." Nancy said.
(Cue- Persona 3- Mass Destruction)
"Come… Sukuna-Hikona!" Carlson shouted as a small bug like creature appeared behind him.
"No way...he has Naoto's skills in sharpshootting and her persona!" Twilight said.
"What is this…?" Kumojacky said.
"Moonlight, ready?" Carlson said as Moonlight nodded and swirled some petals around.
"Gather, flower power! Moon Tact!" Moonlight said as a sort of scepter appeared in her hand.
They fought some more as the both charged in as Moonlight slashed downwards knocking it back.
"Come back, we aint done yet!" Carlson said moving fast and shooting the Desertian in the face as Sukuna-Hikona zipped by. "Sukuna Hikona, Vorpal Blade!"
The persona generated a blade of darkness and cut clean into the Desertian.
"Fight all you want, but this heart flower is as good as wilted!" Kumojacky said.
"No. I will not let it wilt." Moonlight said. "I shall fight until all hearts are complete!" she said raising her tact.
"I'll be the one to end things here!" Carlson said raising his gun. "Final Attack!"
"Shine, flowers!" Moonlight said s Kumo jacky looked at the both of them with charged attacks.
"Fortune...Critical Finish!"
"Precure… Silver Forte Wave!"
Both attacks moved fast through the air as they directly hit the Desertian, freeing the boy's heart flower and destroying the monster.
"Grr. Cure Moonlight and cop. You are quite good." Kumojacky said before vanishing.
"That was amazing! I didn't think you were an Enhanced!" Twilight said as the other girls tended to the boy.
"Its not just me. I realize now that you guys cant fight. So…i'm getting the others that were enhanced with me. All of them are Persona enhanced with Chariot, Priestess, Magician, Emperor and Lovers. All of them officers in the force." Carlson said.
"And you have my autorization...Detective Carlson." Nancy said over the comm.
"Youre… promoting me to Detective?" Carlson asked in shock.
"I figured I may as well. Considering all the other enhanced we've had with rookies in the academy, it would make sense that you might make a good detective. I was saving it for after you get back, but consider it your early present." Nancy said.
"Th-THANK YOU, SARGE!" he said.
"No worries. I'll also contact those other 5 when I get the chance." Nancy said hanging up.
"Well, this is a fine congratulations, Detective." Nagito said.
"IS it your luck or coincidence that made me this way?" Carlson said.
"My luck only works well for me. You got it with your own wonderful talents and skills." Nagito said.
"Then, we're gonna celebrate tonight." Carlson said.
As the others partied on and the faries exhumed a new heart seed, the prep was complete and and the girls approached Nagito.
"Alright Nagito. You promised us that tale." Tsubomi said.
"I admit, I'm a biut curious about your days at Hopes peak too. But twilight told us not to say too much." Yuri said.
"As long as you know where I went, its alright." Nagito grinned. "So then… it all began when a former Ultimate came into the class…"
