Episode 2: Now...The Legend of Precure is Born Once Again!
Today is our first day at school, a new school...As I have experienced school transferring for so many times, I am getting used to it. I can only hope we will not get any trouble like our original schools. The name of this new school that we are going today is "PreCure Academy", I am assuming that the name is named after the town maybe? I do not know why did mother and Auntie chose this school, maybe they have their own reasons...?
As when the morning comes closer, I open my eyes, waking up as I gently rub my eyes with both of my hands. Slowly get out of the bed and tidy it up, take some time to take a shower, get dressed and prepare everything for our long school day. Noticing the time, it's already 7:30. Suddenly I hear Kaki's alarm clock tries to wake her up with its loud noise, but instead she hits the snooze button as if to make it stops, she continues to sleep.
I get closer to her and try to wake her up, although I tried shake her body so many times, she never feels it. I try to reset the alarm clock and let it rings to wake her up, but she did the same thing as the first time before. I do not really want to wake her in a harsh way, so I wait for her to wakes up on her own, but it took forever. We have lost 20 minutes just to wake her up, and now it is already 7:50, nearly the time when the school would start. I have no choice, but to try shaking her body again, but with more force this time.
"Kaki! Wake up"
"He he.. Me can't eatin' more now"
Said from her lips while still is sleeping, like she is daydreaming, flips herself over and over again. I doubted what she is dreaming, but realized that I should not be thinking about that right now, I continue to shake her body continuously.
"Huh? Kaki!"
"WHAT?!"
"Kyaa-?!"
Kaki yells with her loud voice that frightens me, I startled and accidently falls from her bed and onto the floor. Kaki slowly gets herself up and stares at me with a tired looking face as she yawns.
"What's time 'zit?"
Asked, as she slowly rubs both her eyes with her hands. I blink my eyes, then hand her the alarm clock as if to have her see it by herself, as when she sees the time, caught in a big surprise, Kaki suddenly gets off her bed and starts to run so panickly.
"WHAT?! Why don'tcha callin' me more quicklie!"
"Eh? I-It is my fault?"
Said as I point at myself with a questioned look, staring at her while she quickly get dressed and comes back to me with a pair of toast in her mouth. Not saying anything, but tosses my backpack to me. Quickly, forcefully grabs my other hand and starts to run towards the door, down to the first floor, then to the outside.
As we were running with our hands holding each other for a while, Kaki finally releases my hand from hers and let me start running by myself. Quickly, I put on my backpack on my back and try to catch up with her. Suddenly noticing that I forgot to bring something to eat for Breakfast as I start to be a little bit hungry, the same time as when Kaki hands me one of the toasts in her mouth to me with a smile. I hesitantly receive it from her, do nothing but blinking, blinking my eyes as if being so confuse why she gave me this toast, although she was holding it her mouth all the time.
"Hey, eatin' up! Me toast's yours too! Eve'thin' me own's all sis'!"
Holding her toast in her free hand, she said to me as she smiles so brightly while still running like she is actually standing, then quickly eats the toast in a single bite as it was almost all gone and is easy to eat in just once.
We continue to run to our new school and try to get there as fast as we can. Our house is not so far from the school, a short walk in 10 minutes, but beause we don't even have that much time, so we have no choice but to race against time. Arrived in front of the gate, a giant heart sign with a letter "P" is what actually confirm that this is really PreCure Academy. Stopped to stare at it for a while, then carry on running inside.
Once we are inside the building, I quickly pull out a note with our room name on it: "Classroom PC01". Continue to look for the room, while I'm slowly walking through the hall and stare at the room tags, Kaki eventually runs around with her face full of joy, saying the word "weez" as she goes on. Not being bothered by her, I search for the room until I am able to find it.
As when we open the door and go into the class, I am caught surprised by the number of the students, a little less than what I thought it would be. The majority of the class is the girls with different faces and personalities, they seems to get along with each other really well, also the boys as well.
I hold onto Kaki's hand and drag her along with me to our desks, at the back of the class, aside the window. I quickly put all of my stuff in their place and sit down quietly, notice the note on the board, I try to stare, stare at it and read the contents, it seems to read: "The teachers are still on vacation, soon to be returned tomorrow~ I'll see you guys soon, Pretty Students!". It seems that we do not have class today because the teachers are not here, maybe we can go home? But the school is not end yet, I do not think it is a good idea to go back now, or it is kind of like "skipping the school", and it is no good at all.
"Hey ya, GUYS! G'mornin'!"
A sudden, loud voice spoken from my twin sister, as loud as it could be. I realize that she just runs to the front and shout that out loud while I was trying to read the letters, catching the others' attention to her, including myself. The room is suddenly caught in a silence, as quiet like there were never a single people in here. Then a laugh rings out, one another, and another-everyone is laughing at Kaki as she also laugh to them, the loudest laughter than anyone could make. Quickly, everyone comes closer to her and talk with her, she answers them with such a delighted voice. I did nothing but stare at them-quietly. Turning my gaze to the outside of the window, staring towards the blue, bright sky before me. Slowly lay down myself onto the table and bury my face in between my arms while they're holding onto each other. I wonder how could I become someone like her? Although she is my sister-a part of me-a part of each other, I do not have anything like her at all, I can only say to myself quietly, "I want to be like her."...
I gently pull out my pink bunny doll that I got the day before and hold onto her gently, while looking down between my knees and close my eyes.
"What can I do-to have a lot of friends like her…?"
Said quietly with the voice that starts to fade away, I hold onto my doll a little tighter, with little droplets of tears over my eyes.
"Hey, sis!"
"E-Eh?"
Startled by the touch on my shoulder, those droplets of tears fall off my eyes as I turn around to find Kaki, staring at me without blinking, Quickly she sits down and starts to find something in her backpack.
"Me findin' it!"
"Eh? Find it?"
Without saying anything in return, Kaki pulls something out of her backpack, a blue, fluffy bunny doll. As soon as she pulls it out, she puts him on her lap and hugs him so tightly, while still staring at me with her eyes, with its color resembles that of a big blue sky.
"Ya hav' rabbi'? Me hav' me rabbi' too!"
Said as she smiles so brightly, reaches out her hand to grab mine while the other still holding her doll. I grab onto her hand, warm-so warm, and somehow I feel better in all sudden, as I stare at her while she is staring back at me.
Some time later, Kaki and I go out of the classroom and walk around together, since there is no class but we are not allowed to go back home. If we remain inside the school we will be fine.
After walking around for a while, we stop over the in front of the gym to wash our face. We brought our backpacks along with us, in case if we may be able to go back sooner.
"Here ya go, sis!"
Kaki says as she grabs a towel in her backpack and throw it into my face, I try to get it off my face and stare at her, she is staring at me like she is waiting for me to use it.
"E-Eh. But is not this your towel?"
"Nah, me towel's sis' too! C'mon! Useit! Me waitin' for ya."
Smiles so brightly, she stares at me without blinking. I gently wipe my face then hand it to her, which she quickly grabs it and wipe her face as well, before put it back into her backpack.
Once we are done, Kaki drags me along with her and find a bench to sit, I quietly sigh as I slowly lie myself onto it, with my face facing the sky.
"I do not think that I will get along with the students well…"
"Why ya thinkin' likey 'zat?"
"Eh? I-I-I think I am too different from the others."
"Nah, they're nicey people. Aft' all, ya're me sis! Sis never givin' up so easily righto?"
"Eh. S-Sure… I will not-give up…"
My voice starts to turn down as I try to ignore Kaki's sight, likely I am trying to cover my real feelings. She always believe in me, while I am believing in her, not of myself. I do wonder how could she believes in herself, yet never give in believing in me. I do not know how to describe my feelings, but I think that makes us alike to each other, what made us look like twins…
"Kasey! Ah, Kasey! Where are you? I can here voices around here, was that you?"
"Quiet, you idiot!"
Suddenly I hear small voices speak out of nowhere, I turn around to find the source, but nothing can be found. Then suddenly my backpack shakes and start moves by itself. Kaki's backpack also moves, but just a little.
"D-Did the backpack just-move?"
"Nah, 'zat's impossi'. Ya're havin' bad vision day t'day, eh?"
"But, it seems...real."
I say as I slowly hold onto my backpack and open it, I try to reach inside to see if there was someone in there. My hands eventually caught something as I pull it out, it was my pink bunny doll. She starts to move and smiles to me.
"Ah, fresh air! I feel better now. Thanks Kase-"
She suddenly stops her sentence before she could even finish it, as she notice me looking towards her. Stops moving as she stares at me,
"What? You never seen a fairy talking?"
"Eh? Fairy...talking…?"
We blink our eyes twice as we stare each other into the eyes, silence fills the surroundings for a while. Suddenly Kaki runs into me and knocks me down onto the ground, the doll eventually being thrown away as I released her from my hands.
"Ah, Kaki. Do not do that!"
"SIS! It'sa. FAIRY FREAKIN' TALKIN'-!"
"Kylie, I said shut up!"
Suddenly Kaki's blue bunny doll jumps out of her backpack and runs to the pink bunny, catching me and Kaki's attention as we quickly get up, but still sitting on the ground. Overjoyed, the pink bunny smiles and jump up and down as she waits for the other bunny.
"Kasey! You're here!"
"Idiot, let's run!"
Said the blue bunny as he holds the pink bunny's hand and start to run away together. Kaki suddenly gets up, eventually knocks me down onto the ground again and quickly runs after them.
"Waity, dolly rabbi's!"
"K-Kaki!"
Although I tried to shout as loud as I can to tell her to stop, she does not listen, continues to chase the bunnies all around.
Kaki suddenly grabs one of the bunnies, the pink bunny, onto her long, fluffy ears. She tries to shake her body off Kaki's hands, but she could not, because Kaki's grasp is too strong.
"Ah! Kasey, help me!"
"Let my sister go! Just take me instead! Just spare her!"
The blue bunny stopped running as he shouts towards Kaki, stares at her without looking anything else.
Kaki stops her movements as she straighten her body and stare back at him.
"'Tis pinkie rabbi's my sis' Me not lettin' me sis' thingies disappearin'"
"I'm not going to let you do anything to my sister, you cruel human being!"
As the blue bunny ends his sentence, I can clearly see Kaki's expression, her eyes are twitching and filled with anger. She slowly walks toward the blue bunny as if is going to hurt him, the bunny although does not resist. I quickly get up from the ground and put myself in between them, with my face facing Kaki.
"Kaki. Please let her go."
"But sis-!"
"Please. I cannot stand stealing someone else's sister. Do not you think if the bunny was actually myself? How would you feel? How would I feel…?"
Kaki stops her movements, staring straight back to me, then look at the pink bunny. Soon later she sighs as she gently release the pink bunny from her hands, that bunny quickly runs into her brother and hugs him tightly, but somehow he tries to push her away from his tiny body.
"Let us go back to class, Kaki."
I quietly say to my sister as I walk pass her and grab her hand so we can walk back to the classroom while holding our hands close to each other. I feel a little bit sad that I have to say good bye to my bunny doll who I just got to meet yesterday and we actually never talk. But if it is for her to be free, I cannot try to prevent her from choosing her own destiny.
"Wait, you two."
A sudden soft voice said and catches my moments frozen, I turn around, the pink bunny walks towards me as she stares at me from the floor where she stands. Then she smiles to me, as brightly as it could be, I doubted but only stare at her quietly.
"You know what? I think I'll live with you then~"
Said she as she quickly runs into me and hangs onto my legs, I eventually become speechless, until the blue bunny runs into the pink bunny and quickly pull her away from my thin legs.
"What the-Are you an idiot?! Are you actually even serious about this?!"
"Yes I am~…I-I mean, I am serious! Not an idiot."
The pink bunny nods as she says with a bright smile on her face, in contrast of the another bunny who seems to be very angry and upset at the same time. He stares at his sister into the eyes for a moment before he sighs deeply and start to avoid her sight.
"It's a yes then~ Okay, let me introduce myself. I'm Kylie and this is my twin brother, Kasey. Nice to meet you!"
"Eh? N-Nice to meet you, my name is Joume Maki and this is my sister, Kaki."
"So it's Maki-chan and Kaki-san then~"
Giggles, Kylie reaches her small paw towards to me as I lower myself to hold onto it with my hand, realizing that my hand is really big when compared to Kylie's. I smile towards her as she and Kaki start to smile back to me in return.
"Wellie then, sis! Why doncha takin' them f' walkin' round here?"
Said Kaki as she gets her head start and runs ahead of us. I turn around to Kylie and lower myself to talk to her.
"Maybe we can start walking around the school and talk along the way."
"Okay!"
Kyle shook her head as she starts to fly (more like levitating or so seems to be called like that) above my head and sit onto it, while her brother seems to prefer keeping the distance from us.
We walk around the school to go through all of the buildings in it, also for my hand-drawn pocket map in addition, so it will be easier for us to figure which building or structure is located in what area of the school, I do this all the time so we will never get lost and I think pictures are better illustrated than words describing a place.
This place is bigger than where I thought it would be, there is almost everything in here. A Gym, Nurse's Office, a planetarium (which is the most surprising structure to be built in a school), there is also a huge room across the halls which I do not know what it is actually for, Maybe we will find out soon enough.
We are walking so endlessly across the halls to try to discover some new places, this school pretty much start to light up my hope about my new life here. Like what Kaki said, people here are very nice, I should not have been judging them so quickly.
Speaking of new things, I do not really know why, but I feel like I have ever seen someone like Kasey, the blue bunny before. Or, it could have been just one of my imagination…
"Geez, it's so quiet here."
Back to the place where the Darkness Kingdom lies, Elizabeth, the Dark Queen's last minion, the last one standing in the Kingdom to serve such great-terrible queen. She does nothing but mumbling about being all alone, sits alone in the dark under the Dark Queen's long casting shadow.
"I wish I had a choice to save them…my friends-my family...They all died for me."
Says to herself quietly as she holds a necklace with a marble sticking onto it, she flips the marble around to find a name imprinted on it: Esmeralda.
"Esmel, I miss you so much. I really just-just can't believe that you're gone. I told you-told you not to try to defy the queen."
.
'I object! I cannot let this unrighteousness going on. You are not our queen and you don't have the right to make anyone disappear!'
A scene in her memory takes place inside of her mind. Herself, standing with another girl, Esmeralda, before the Dark Queen. Although Esmeralda said such aggressive words to her, the queen only grins. Another voice-no, "voices" behind her start to laugh and grin along with her. Their body is covered with the shadows and not visible to the two girls who are standing before the throne.
The voices continue to laugh, until Dark Queen raises her lance, the voices stop. The queen slowly gets up from her throne and walk down a few steps while staring at both her minions with a grin.
Elizabeth starts trembling as she moves one step back and get closer to her friend.
"Esmel-I-I don't think it's a good idea to say something like-"
"I'm not afraid of you! Even if you'll make me disappear as well, there will be someone who will stand against you and bring us to justice!"
Shrieked, Elizabeth jumps as when she heard her friend continues to defy Dark Queen so stubbornly. Crack. The smile on Dark Queen decreases into a frown like a mirror that shatters because of pressure, seems that the smile from before was actually fake. She walks toward the riot as she grabs her collar and raise her up high.
Scared, Elizabeth does not know what is to be done. She steps back in fear, watching her friend being held up high by that scary person whom she calls the queen. Dark Queen comes to a smile as she raises her lance with her free hand, pointing on Esmeralda' cheek and presses on it. The sharp, pointy blade cuts Esmeralda's cheek and start to drip blood.
"There, little riot. How does that feel? Pain?"
"I-I don't feel anything, but-rage within you-!"
"You never learn, do you? Fine then."
The queen grins, as she throws Esmeralda, sliding on the floor.
She quickly comes to a choke and try to breathe as much as she could, but she couldn't move. Elizabeth rushes to her friend as she tries to hold her up in her arms with tears overflowing all over her eyes.
"Esmel! Are you alright?! Hang in there!"
"Eliza-I...I'm sor-ry-"
In the middle of sadness, once again a laugh rings out-a laugh from satisfaction-it is so loud and high. It was not from the Dark Queen, but the shadows behind her. Dark Queen walks back to her throne then turns around back to the two girls with her lance, pointing at both of them.
"I'm grateful to present that: Someone is going to die. Today!"
She laughs as she holds onto her lance tightly with Dark aura all over her body, then they gather to the sharp end of her weapon, she shoots out the ball of Dark energy and aim for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth startled and tries to get away from the harm, but she couldn't because her friend is injured and she couldn't move away without her. Nothing can be done to avoid elimination, Elizabeth closes her eyes tightly with more tears overwhelming and wait for the end to come.
.
She didn't feel pain. She slowly open her eyes and finds nothing happened to her. Elizabeth sighs in relief, but then she notices that Esmeralda is not on her lap anymore. Then she realizes. The body in front of her-
"Es-
meralda…?!"
It was Esmeralda, who shielded Elizabeth from the harm of the Dark energy. Her body is filled with Dark aura, and it starts to spread. Esmeralda is on the floor again. But with more cuts and bleeding, so much that makes her friend feels so bizarre.
'Live-for me…Eliza…beth…'
Esmeralda uses her last strength to speak out to her friend, with her face facing towards the Dark Queen. Despite the fact of how scared Elizabeth was, the tears are coming out from Elizabeth's eyes even more, running to receive her friend's frail body before she touches the ground.
"Esmel-? Esmeralda?! ESMERALDA!"
No response.
Esmeralda comes to a silence stillness with her eyes closed, she moves no more. In a blink of an eye, she disappears into the air like a mist in the dark sky, leaving her friend sitting on her knees with tears overflowing like the endless waterfall while staring the fractures of her friend's fading lifeforce.
In an instant, Elizabeth lets herself fall down to the floor but still let her two forceless hands keeping her face from the ground. She does not make any sound, but only cry with her mouth and eyes shut.
"Look how easily it is to eliminate a betrayer? Just aim for its friend and it'll jump in to the trap, and dies. Such a weakling."
Dark Queen slowly walks toward Elizabeth as she grins, as she reaches Elizabeth, the girl frighteningly look up to find the Queen offering her hand to help her up. Hesitated, Elizabeth slowly reaches her hand-reaches out to grab Dark Queen's hand and stands up, questioning herself about why did she help her, although she is a friend of Esmeralda, the betrayer.
"W-Why…? Why did you-?"
"Oh, little bird. Are you scared of me because what I did to your friend? Fear not, I will not hurt you. You have proved me that you are worthy of being my closest and the only minion I could trust."
Said Dark Queen as she comes closer to Elizabeth and hugs her gently, like how a mother does to a child. Elizabeth startled, quickly shakes off and escapes from the Queen.
"H-How can I trust you?! You're a murderer, you're-"
"I am not the one to blame. It's them."
Dark Queen says as she points into the illusion she made, constructed with magic, showing the picture of the Legendary Precures.
"The Legendary Warriors-Precure…? But-why…?"
"Our world ended the way it is, it's all because of them. Your King is too weak against them, and I. Will be able to change it."
'We both together...'
The queen says as she opens her hand towards the fearful Elizabeth with a grin. The girl moves closer to Dark Queen and slowly extend her arm and put her hand onto the queen's. As soon as both hands touch, Dark Queen suddenly laughs, along with the shadows behind, and around her.
.
"…How long was that? 15 years? I was so young back then, and I didn't realize what I've chosen. For me to release the Queen and help her, although she…she-"
"My~ Hi there, Lizzie."
A sudden, high-pitched voice rings out and startled Elizabeth, the voice sure resembles that of a girl. She slowly turns around to a scarlet curtain, with a pair of scary eyes and a mouth hiding behind the shadows. The mysterious figure grins as the light suddenly turns down and the figure starts to float around.
"Oh, wow. You are quick to find me this time. Good girl!"
"You're always behind that curtain. It's not that hard to predict. And I'm older than you, where is such respect?"
"Hah! Regardless of how old you are, I am powerful than you twice as much."
"What do you want, child."
As Elizabeth questions the mysterious figure, it laughs and disappears-then suddenly appears in front of her, but somehow the figure remains dark with energy flowing all over it.
"I have an order for you. It is from the Dark Queen."
"Dark Queen gives me an-order...?"
"Why, yes! A simple task that would be easily accomplished by myself alone. But she assigned this task just for you, so I guess I cannot have the fun."
"What is that task you're talking about?"
"As simple as baking pie. The task assigned you to-
Eliminate the new generations of Precure!"
Elizabeth shocked as she hears her task, while the figure is laughing in contrast. She starts sweating and unable to catch her breath, at last tries to straighten and stare at the figure again.
"Kill the Legendary Warriors? W-Why…? They're no more don't they?"
"One fallen, another rises. How dumb you are to not think about it that way? You have two tries or die. Oh, and that perfectly rhymes!"
The figure laughs as it starts to disappears, the room is lighten up again. Elizabeth does not say a word, she starts to breathe heavily as she grabs a hold of her chest and closes her eyes with her head hanging.
"Two…tries…I guess the end is already near me. I can't kill those warriors. They-They fight for justice! I know that our Kingdom hated them so much for being unfair, but…everything's changed. Everyone is dead! I just...I can't bear living like this anymore..."
The girl drops herself on the floor as she starts crying, quietly, while holding onto her charm, which was of her best friend's. She slowly opens her eyes to stare at her friend's pendant.
"Esmel…If it was you, what would you do...?"
Said as she holds the charm tightly as she quickly stands with a paper that suddenly appears in her other hand. But this paper is no ordinary paper, it is filled with Dark energy, so much that one may suffer if is used in an injustice act. Elizabeth strikes the paper down the floor, its energy suddenly unleashes and formed into a monster-like creature.
Although the monster starts roaring, striking it's fist on the floor, its summoner remained silent and down.
Time flies, finally it is already late. The sun is setting down as the sky is turning orange, then red. Kaki and I and our little friends finally walk our way out of the school, and straight back to our home.
Before we actually reach the cafe, Kylie stops moving and land on the floor, standing still while her long, fluffy ears are twitching. Her expressions really get me doubt.
"Is something wrong, Kylie?"
I carefully bend myself down to ask her, she turns around to look at me with such fearful expressions. Kylie then folds her ears down and fly up above my face.
"I can feel something really terrible happening in this area!"
"Something…terrible...?"
Boom!
As I am questioning Kylie about what she notices, a sudden explosion shakes the ground and us. We all try to get a grip of ourselves and try to stand up, I glance towards to find a group of dust particles all over in the air, with a huge figure behind it.
"Wah-What's 'zat?"
Kaki said as she quickly jumps in front of me and tries to stare into the figure. It suddenly becomes visible, it is black and huge, a creature-looks more like a monster. But I tried to look closer more than just the monster, there is actually a person on its shoulder. The woman in black sitting on the monster's shoulder turns around and stare at us with an uneasy look as she clears her throat.
"Greetings, the new generations of Precure! I'm here to destroy-you all…"
Although her face looks like serious, her voice starts to turn down as she almost finishes her sentence, she does not even look at us directly.
Confused, I and Kaki look at each other in the eye and turn around to look at Kylie and Kasey, we all look so confused and puzzling.
"What's wid ya, crazy lady?"
Kaki raises her voice higher than usual so the person could hear her, and it seems that she does, as she changes her expression and ties her eyebrows together.
"W-What did you just called me?!"
"Ya're deafy? Me said ya're crazy la-! Mmh!"
I quickly run into Kaki and use my hands to mute her before she make the strange person mad and hurt us. Then I drag her a little bit away from the spot where the person could hear us and let Kaki go.
"Kaki. I do not think it is a good idea to make someone like that or anyone angry. It would put us in trouble."
"Nah. But me bein' honestie'"
"I do not think honesty would work for her in a good way, so please keep quiet, Okay?"
Kaki nods her head as she walk a little bit toward the place where we stood, and stare at the person. The mysterious woman sighs as she stands up on the monster's shoulder and stare at us.
"You weaklings. I am Elizabeth, last but most loyal servant of the great Dark Queen, the leader of our Darkness Kingdom. I could sense the presence of the fairies around here, so I came."
"What are you planing to do with us?!"
Scared, Kylie asks Elizabeth as she hugs her brother tightly in fear, but still looking at her. Suddenly, the woman grins as she quickly extends her arm towards and point her finger at us.
"I'm going to destroy, all of you! Whoever has seen my shadow would never come back alive."
"B-But-whatever we fairies did to you?! I don't understand!"
"You will soon understand, little furball. Sokkenna!"
"Sokken!"
Although Kylie tries to convince her, the woman did not listen, instead she orders her monster to move toward as it shouts the word ''Sokken". We cannot do anything but step back, until our backs hit the wall. We cannot escape anymore…We are going to die here?!
I close my eyes as I think it is already the end of us, while Kaki tries to cover myself with her body as if to make herself a shield to protect me.
"Kylie!"
"O-Okay! I know!"
After Kasey shouted to call his sister's name, she nods as she uses her magic to summon out something, her brother does that also. Two lights appear before I and Kaki and suddenly strike into our hands, as soon as the lights fade away, they reveal two keys in the shades of pink while another is blue. We look at each other with a puzzled look, I could not help but to turn around to ask Kylie.
"W-What is this key?"
"It doesn't matter what it is! Just shout out 'Precure! Unlock Form!' !"
Still confused, I step towards Kylie, but Kaki stops me before I would step any further. I can see her eyes sparkling as she holds my hand while another hand is holding a blue key, somehow both pink key and blue key start to shine as our hands touched.
"Le's do tis', sis!"
Said Kaki as she tighten her grip on my hand, I can feel the urge of courage in all of sudden. I nod my head in respond as I release my hand from Kaki and hold onto the key in my hand tightly.
\\Precure! Unlock Form!/
My and Kaki's shout harmonize, suddenly both keys shine and unleash a powerful light energy. I find myself covered in those light as the parts of my body changes, my hair-my clothes, I feel like I am in a dream in the moment. As soon as the light disappears, I open my eyes to find myself amazed.
"T-This is…me-?"
I question as I look over myself, my hair turns pink and tied into buns shaped like heart. A sleeveless white dress with pink ribbons and wings all over. A bracelet on my left wrist. Although amazed with these changes, I turn around to find my sister, just to stuck in another amazement. Kaki's hair turned blue and tied into two big pigtails, her dress has the same pattern as mine but in the shades of blue and everything is pretty much placed on the opposite side. Her bracelet also, instead is placed on the right rather than left.
"We are the new…Precure?"
"Yeah! Me's a Precure! Then me's 'A blue star of chance…ah-Cure Key!' N' ya, sis? Didn'tcha wanna name ya Cure form?"
Kaki suddenly interrupt me by jumping in front of me, saying her speech and turn around to me to ask.
"Um…I-I am not sure about-"
Suddenly a name comes into my mind, a lock…? That is right! If Kaki's name would be Key, then a lock…that would fits the key! That is another way to describe that we are twins and we belonged together. Then my Cure name-my name would be-
"-A pink heart of love…Cure Lock…?"
I say the name without noticing that I said it loudly, Kaki is staring at me questionably, but then let out a smile and put her thumbs up towards me.
"Cooli' name! Me likeit"
"T-Thank you, Kaki…"
I find myself blushing as I try to hide my face from Kaki's stare, the perfect timing when Kylie comes closer to me, looking so panicky.
"I don't think it's the right time to chat. The monster's going to attack us!"
Never mind the embarrassment, I quickly come to realize that we are in the middle of battle against the huge monster and the woman who called herself Elizabeth. Speaking of battle, somehow I feel-so scared. I cannot move myself or even to respond to Kylie, I just cannot move myself, even though I should be able to. The fear is weighing me down...? How come that I am still scared even if I have become a legendary warrior like those girls in the story? I can only question myself, as suddenly I life my face up to find the monster thrusting its fist towards me.
"Eh-?!"
A sudden shock caused by a sudden attack, I could feel myself acts on its own. Unable to act quickly, my legs are not moving either. I quickly close my eyes and put my arms in the air as if to try to block the attack, although I know I will not be able to.
"Watch out, you idiot!"
Surprised by the voice, shouting out to me. I turn around to find the blue bunny jumps in front of me and extends a firm, massive shield, constructed with magic. It protects my body from the harm of the monster's quick swing, although the shield looks kind of frail, but it is more effective than the way it looks.
"What are you looking for? Run!"
Kasey shouts back to me while he is holding his shield towards the monster, confused, I do as he says and run towards Kaki-no…Cure Key.
I reunite with Key and Kylie, my sister jumps from afar and into me, while Kylie quickly fly into me, hugging each other as soon as I approach. Then Kylie suddenly withdraws herself and quickly turn to her brother's way with a gasp.
"Oh no! We have to save Kasey! He's going to get crushed!"
I turn my glance towards Kasey as I heard Kylie's words, seeing him struggling with the monster as it tries to break his shield. It continues to thrust its fist towards him, and it is starting to have a crack and breaks down. I could not stand staring while someone is struggling, I try to move fast towards his way to help, but instead is pushed behind by my sister as she rushes ahead of me and into my place.
"Ya're goin' down, stupy face!"
Key shouts toward the monster as she extends her right arm and summons a-blue blade…out of her bracelet-? It is blue but transparent, seems to be made out of some energy…or was it just based on my determination?
That topic does not matter anymore as I see her use it to hit the monster, it sure is pretty effective and strong that the monster quickly jumps away from her because of that strike she delivered. Key just saved Kasey in the nick of time before he is going to be crushed, but somehow he does not seem to be so moved with her rescue.
Relieved, I turn back and sigh. At the same time that I suddenly suspect something as when my gaze crosses over to my left where Kylie is standing. I happen to see my bracelet shining as it summons out a powerful wave of energy, surprised, I let out a single, quiet "eh" as I continue to observe it.
As when the light fades out, it reveals a pink transparent bow on my bracelet, like how Key has a transparent blade on hers, but differed in side and color, their forms as well.
"How could a bow appeared on my wrist…?"
I question myself, and literally happen to notice the monster attacking me at the same time. Startled, I suddenly pull the bow string-with a light arrow that appeared out of nowhere and release it towards the monster to prevent it from harming me. It screams of pain as starts to collapse in front of me so suddenly, I quickly dodge before its body would hit me.
"The monster! It's weakening! Now it's our chance, Legendary Warriors!"
Shouted Kylie towards my way, I only respond her with a doubtful stare as Key suddenly jumps into me out of nowhere. As soon as her hand touches mine, our bracelets suddenly shine at the same time, I could feel massive energy flowing inside of me. Two lights combined, the bracelets shine even brighter.
I could do nothing but stare at how it is being so bright, then turn around to Kylie, who is also amazed by the light as well. That was the perfect time when the monster starts to stay down and gone berserk as if it is scared of some invisible force that continues to be greater-hurting it directly, although there is no one hurting it.
"W-What is wrong with you, Sokkenna?! Why are you going all berserk?"
Sokken!
I quietly watch the monster going all crazy and try to hide itself from the said light, but its body is to big to hide anywhere. Suddenly I realize: it is our chance to fight it back. So I quickly turn to Kylie's way and wave my hand as if trying to draw her attention onto me instead of the monster.
"Kylie! Can you hear me from here? W-What are we going to do about this…light?"
"Oh, Maki-chan! Well, I don't know how it works too. But I think the monster doesn't seem to like it much."
Said Kylie as she puts her paw under her fluffy chin with her other hand hugging herself, trying to think of something. For a while, she suddenly points her index finger (maybe a little bit too small to be called an index finger?) into the air with a delighted expression.
"Maki-chan! I think those colored lights can be used to make the monster turn into it's original form! Like some-ah…Finish move! Yes, that's it!"
"F-Finish move? How are we going to do this-"
Crash!
The monster suddenly hits the ground in between, where Key and I are standing. We quickly dodge while holding each other's hands and land somewhere a little bit further from the point where it hit. My sister lets out a long, loud "phew" and brushes her hair for a little bit.
"'Zat'sa closie one!"
"W-What are we going to do?"
"Dunno! Gotta thinkin' of some kinda phrase for the move, eh? Got goodie ideas?"
"Wel…I do not think that I…"
'Precure Heart Unlock!'
Suddenly a voice-no…"voices" echo in my head, harmonize-and somehow gives me an idea for the phrase. Maybe this phrase may fit the attack best because it purifies the monster (or at least seems to) and may turn it back to its normal form.
As soon as I made my mind, I turn my face to Key, and tighten my grip on her hand.
"Key, I got an idea for it now. A-Are you ready?"
"Ya got 'n idea? 'Zat's me sis! Le's smashit all up~!"
Said Key as she puts her other hand on our hands as I do so, suddenly the place is covered in vivid lights from out hands. We put the hands towards the monster and tighten, unleashing our energy towards it.
\\Precure Heart Unlock!/
Together, Key and I shouted as we strikes the light energy into the monster, everything is almost impossible to see as the brightness of light almost blind us. But somehow the light made me feel comforted, like there's someone embracing us in their warm hug.
Sokken!
"Ugh! That light! It's so powerful…-Heh! But not enough to defeat me! Retreat!"
As soon as Elizabeth finishes her sentence, she and her monster disappeared into dust. Did we win?-I thought in my mind. Somehow I feel like this is not done yet but…they disappeared, does that mean we defeated them?
I loose my grip as I sigh quietly, the same time when Key jumps into me, hugging so tightly as she rubs her cheeks against mine and giggles.
"Yay, sis! We winin'!"
"Ah! Kaki. Please. Stop!"
I try to push her body away from me, but unable to. As I always say that she seems to be stronger than I am, I am nothing against her.
The perfect time when Kylie jumps into us, which makes Kaki jumped and lets go of me.
"That was great, you guys! For someone who never fights, you just made a good start"
Said Kylie as she puts her thumb up towards me and Kaki, I smiled back while Key puts both of her arms behind her head and smile. Out of curiosity, I stop to look at myself for a little bit then back to Kylie.
"What are we going to do with…this?"
"Well, how about think of a name for your team first?"
"Eh…I don't know what name would suit us best-"
In all of sudden, Key jumps into me and cling onto my shoulder, putting her thumb up.
"We're gonna be callin' 'Lock On! Precure' yo! Pinit!"
"That sounds cool, Kaki-san!"
"Nah! Don'tchu callin'me Kaki while me in this form! Call me Key!"
"Oh, sorry~ So I'm calling you two Lock and Key then."
Key and Kylie get together and giggle, I do so with them. The same time when Kasey comes behind me and crosses his arms, somehow I smiled a little bit when I see him like that. Suddenly, Key and my body shine as ourselves turn back into our original self.
I turn around to Kaki as I notice the sun going down, startled, I quickly grab Kaki's hand and start running.
"Ah! I think it is already late! Let us go home quickly!"
Without hesitation, I quickly run back home without looking at anyone, rushing through the town and into the street where our home is. Kylie and Kasey quickly fly into our bags and hide in there.
Kaki and I slowly open the door to find Auntie Yona before us, with her face somehow so dark. I hesitantly step into the door and look up to her.
"Maki, Kaki-WHY ARE YOU SO LATE?! Do you guys know we're so sick worried about you?!"
"Yona! Don't be so mad at them! They just came back."
Our mother comes aside Auntie as she tries to calm her down, it seems to work as Auntie lets out as sigh and stay still while mother comes toward me.
"At least you two are safe from any harm…"
"H-Harm? What do you mean by that?"
"We went shopping and we saw a big monster around the school. I think the new Cures defeated it"
"E-Eh?! Is-Is that so?"
I pretend to be nervous of what she just said, try to avoid her eyes and quickly move pass her with Kaki aside me.
"Also, you two don't have to hide from us like that. I know that you're in there little fairies."
I shrieked and find myself frozen, totally caught speechless. I slowly turn around to mother to see her smiling. Kylie starts to move and jumps out of the backpack while her brother does also.
"Ah~ I don't expect the humans to find us out like this. Anyway, I'm Kylie and this is my brother Kasey~"
"I'm Mune and this is my sister, Yona. Actually, there used to be a lot of fairies living around here, so we know their behavior pretty well"
"Is that so?! That's so amazing~!"
I am a little bit surprised of how there used to have a lot of fairies living around, but that somehow makes sense to me if talking about how Auntie and mother found out that Kylie and Kasey are hiding in our backpacks.
Kylie and our mother start to talking and get to know each other so quickly, in contrast of her brother who stays still so quietly.
"Oh. That's right, Kylie. Can you transform into a human form?"
"Of course I can, Mune-san! I'll show you~"
Said Kylie to mother as she steps back aside, holding her hands over her chin. Suddenly, she is covered in magic and changes into a tall, slender figure.
As soon as the light fades away, I could see her more clearly, as a cute girl with sparkling scarlet eyes, pink hair. But somehow her pink ears still remain on her head.
I am pretty much amazed of how she is able to transform into a being, like us humans.
"Ya lookie so cutie, Kylie! Hey, can ya bro do 'zat too?"
"Get me out of this, you idiot!"
Shouted the blue bunny towards my sister, with his hands crossed and sighs deeply. Then he quickly move away from us through the stairs and somewhere up there, he seems to be troubled by every single thing everyone thinks it is fun...
While the others seem to ignore him, I follow up to the top to find Kasey sitting on the roof in front of the balcony of my room.
"Such a foolish world. Why are we even here? Did our parents want us to be here…?"
Kasey, in his human form, sitting, mumbling something to himself quietly. He sit still for some time before he picks up a letter and hold it up to his face.
"We're just some orphan fairies. We don't even know who we are. I could only remember the faded faces of our parents…they're gone. And they left this message to us-but the rest has faded before we're able to read"
'Sorry for abandoning you two. It's just because of our fault. Our lovely children…'
As soon as he finished reading the letter, he looks down, hug his knees and bury his face between his legs. I felt moved by his emotion that I forget about all of the argument we had, I slowly move towards the balcony and stand behind the saddened fairy.
"It is sad is not it? To be alone like this."
"…You again? You're really annoying"
"I do know how you feel, missing somebody in your life sure is sad. But that does not mean you will have to stay like this."
"Shut up…"
He say the word quietly as he moves his body in another angle, facing away from me. Although I should have been ignoring him, instead I try to climb on to the balcony and drop myself onto the roof, sitting beside him. He does not move from me, but tries to look the other way. He did not say a word…
I quickly open up my backpack and put my hand in there to find something. A package is caught in my hand, I pick it up. It was a bag of homemade chocolate chip cookies, I presume mother put it in my bag before I left off to school. She always does this because she thought it will bring luck for the first of school. But somehow it has been opened before, I think it might have been Kylie who was in there for some time.
I put my hand in the bag and grab out a piece, and hand it over to Kasey. He does nothing but stare at me with such doubtful look.
"Are you hungry? Maybe you might want some cookies. I can share it with you"
"Are you trying to tame me, human?"
"N-No! I just want to help you. So…do you want one?"
He stays quiet, glaring at me without taking his eyes off, hesitantly take the cookie in my hand and take a bite then another bite. I also bring another cookie in my hand and bite while looking at Kasey enjoying his cookie.
"Stop looking at me. Can you just leave me alone?"
"Eh? I-I am sorry! I will just-"
I quickly move as I hear his words coming to me, but somehow I was moving too fast…
...and I suddenly stumbled my feet...
"Eh-?!"
I was in a shock as I see myself falling from the edge of the roof, sent flying and downward to the ground. I could not bear seeing what comes next. I shut my eyes tightly, with my hands in the air…
.
I feel nothing. Was that the end of me?
But somehow I feel really warm…
I am unable to move myself around, I feel like there is someone holding my body.
I slowly open my eyes…
"Stupid human…watch where you're going."
Said the boy with blue, silky hair with his sky blue eyes looking towards me. Somehow I feel really warm inside my heart, whenever I look at him. His touch embraced me. My heart skipped a beat and I can feel my face burning.
What is this? I question myself. I left myself in a question as Kasey slowly put myself down on the balcony. He only stares at me and quietly walk away.
"T-Thank you, Kasey…"
"If you're falling next time, I'm not going to save you"
He left.
I quickly grab my backpack on the roof and come into my room, I could not say anything more but sigh. I am still unable to figure what happened to me, but somehow I feel something strange about him-something is familiar. But I cannot remember…
I shake my head quickly as if to knock the seriousness off my mind, and come down the stairs to take a bath. As soon as I finished, I slowly let myself down onto the bed and lie my whole body on the blanket.
To think that everything that just happened is real is pretty much like a daydream. But somehow it was all real…Becoming a Precure is one of my and Kaki's dream, and we never expect it to really happen.
That means we will have to fight for something…right?
Or does that mean we became one just for now?
What will our life go through is not to be known, we will just have to believe in ourselves and try our best…
