The man who had been pursuing them wasn't stopped in time as he was taken aback from this sudden time stop. Gurē brought her hands out in front of her and slowly swung them clockwise ending with both her pointer fingers directed at the sky. With a loud shout she declared, "PreCure! For my future!" A clock appeared behind her blinding the man. Red threads slowly winded around her forming short gray boots, dark gray gloves and a flowing gray dress. On her hips were two small bejeweled daggers that looked like the hands on the clock. The light faded and Gurē jabbed her fists to the air staring Cameron down, with another deep breath she spoke the words that had popped in her head: "The emissary between time! I am the guardian of time, Cure Grey!" The dust settled and she instinctively drew a wand with a smile across her face. "You can give up now for as long as I'm here, the history of the Cures will remain intact." Cameron chuckled sliding out three gears, "Wel' if ya kno' so much then how about a lil' fight?" He threw the gears causing them to land on an ant, a tree and a trash can. With a dark cloud brewing above their monsterous forms soon took shape.
The trash can spun on its axis gaining two wheels with spikes rolling down its back. The ant enlarged hopping into the now trash can car, the pincers on its mouth growing longer and the legs growing to become a set of arms. The tree in the meantime uprooted itself gaining wooden arms that sharpened into two swords. "Meet my minions, I'd like to call them Gearoids." A protective bubble formed around the man as he raised his arms awakening the gears that had rooted themselves inside the object. "Now my pets, go kill the Cure!" The trash car suddenly gained eyes letting out a growl. Gurē yelped rolling out of the way of the car, the ends of her dress barely missing the tires. "GABRAH!" The car roared coming back for round two. Gurē became wide with fright, what just happened? Why did those words come her mouth?! She spun the wand hearing words come to her, "Grey Rewind!" A clock mysteriously appeared in front of the ant car and slowly time rewound to the point of the gears sliding out and returning to Cameron who had a look of utter surprise. "Now that's uncalled for?! Where's da fightin'? What cheap tricks ya pulling girlie!" Gurē reflexively held her arms in front of her frightened by the outburst more than anything. She didn't expect that to happen.
She figured it would've just stopped them in their tracks. Even Tsuki had a look of surprise. "H-How did you…" Scenarios ran through his head, did she have a connection with the Queen? Cameron's right eye glowed a dark red and he slammed his fists together, "Whateva, I'll just take ya out myself." He brought out the three Corruption Gears and was about to draw them into his body when a portal opened and Princess Char stepped out looking smug.
"No need to fight Cameron, at the power level you're at she would wipe you in an instant."
"Whatdya say Princess! I'll have ya kno' that I am by contract servin' ya so please have a lil' bit more faith in me." Gurē took a step back seeing the elegant looking woman. Her features were very defined and with a model body too. Princess Char tucked some hair behind her ear staring down her foes, "I'll strike you a proposition since this must be all new to you. Join the Rebellion and we can change the course of history. That indecisive demeanor of yours can be changed in an instant, just give us the go ahead and you'll be loved by all." The offer sounded tempting, leaving her old life behind and becoming someone else.
She twirled the wand sending out a wave of light pushing the two back. "Thanks for the offer but I think this magical girl stuff will send me further along." Princess Char glared at Cure Grey, "You and the Queen just can't see the light. Just you wait, we'll make sure you're erased from existence you idiotic hero!" Gurē chuckled swapping her wand for one of the hand swords and dashed at Cameron who flung shuriken shaped gears at the grey colored Pretty Cure. Gurē spun her sword in a wide arc causing them to land on the ground, their velocity lost. She kicked up the now useless shurikens knocking them back at Cameron. "M-Ma'am I'm headin' to another timeline, screw this!" He opened up a time stream and hopped inside. Princess Char on the other hand drew her own bejeweled weapon: a chakram in the shape of a clock. "Your time will end with me, you may be stronger than Cameron but I'm on a different scale." The malicious princess gained a wicked grin and was gone in a flash. Gurē looked around in panic hoping to catch a hint of where she had went. Think, think! Gurē brought out her wand attempting to use the reversal of time spell once more yet, all that came out was a small puff of magic. Char materialized in front of Gurē swinging her chakram sending the poor girl back. Another strike sent her into the tree. The magic inside her, she could feel it starting to drain out.
Princess Char eased up on her weapon scoffing. Retrieving the gear from her pocket she gave Gurē one last look disappearing into the stream as well. Once the Princess had left, Gurē powered down feeling the blows that she had been dealt from the fights. Tsuki hopped over to the now passed out Gurē and heaved a heavy sigh, he had dragged this poor girl into this situation because of a reading he felt coming from her direction. "I must get her some place safe." Sweeping his arm above them they slipped into his own personal stream.
All around the two became a swirl of different times and places, one showcased a team of girls who were of the nine planets. Another was of a group of multicolored girls with traits of animals. Tsuki drifted to and fro, an unconscious Gurē still beside him. "That power...I had no idea the Princess was so...was so...powerful." He thought back to when he had first became the Queen's personal servant, his parents were so glad for him. Rising through the ranks he could provide for them more than he ever could being a farmer. Tsuki closed his eyes and saw the battle play back. Cure Grey had unleashed a very powerful spell which rewound time, something felt oddly similar watching that happen but at the same time it had left her vulnerable to the Princess's strikes. He needed to warn her about the dangers of using spells like that instead of using her fists but he didn't blame her, she didn't know what she had been doing. As Tsuki fretted to himself Gurē was having a dream about her life. She saw herself as the leftover pick during gym, she was always the middle man people would use...it was all disappointing. The offer she refused echoed giving her a sense of curiosity, would the Princess had kept her promise? She didn't want to open her eyes and alert Tsuki. It seemed he had a lot on his mind as well. She soon felt paws poking her cheek. Poke. Poke. Poke. She jolted up glaring at the rabbit, "What?!" Tsuki recoiled in fear and held up a mirror, "We'll be arriving in the Land of Time soon so make yourself presentable." "With what?! You yanked me out of my home!" Tsuki slid on a tie turning around. "At your feet is a dress handpicked by the Queen herself." Gurē reluctantly put on dress. It was a dull black, looking almost grey in the blue color of the stream. "So who is this Queen we're meeting?"
Tsuki turned back to face Gurē who had fully slid on the dress replying, "She is my master and the older sister to Princess Charlemane, the woman you happened to faced earlier or shall I say a few days ago." The portal opened into the throne room where an empty throne sat, it seemed the Queen had stepped out. "Now don't touch anything you hear?" Gurē huffed crossing her arms, "I know that! I know how to act in a stranger's house." Of course the words flew out of her ears as she started investigating the podium beside the throne. On it sat a broken, grey watch that had its hands stuck at midnight. She picked it up and looked at her own watch, were they the same model?
"Ah, so interested in my Time Watch?" A sugar-sweet voiced asked. This caused Gurē to jump nearly drop the watch. Turning she saw the Queen draped in her elegant gown all cloaked in black with white gloves extending to her elbows. "So you are the Time Cure of the millenia?" Gurē gave a curt nod. "Has my assistant told you of what being a Time Cure entails?" "W-Well, I was told that I would be protecting the Pretty Cure timeline." The Queen sat down which caught the rabbit assistant by surprise. "M-Mistress! I-I mean my queen." He gave a small bow which she waved off, "No need for that," Turning to Gurē, she continued strapping on the broken watch, "Has he told you that in order to be an official Time Cure your presence from the timeline must be erased?" Gurē chuckled thinking of it as a joke. "I see you are not convinced...do you know what keeping your presence would entail? If you were to simply remain as you are now then my sister would have no problem returning and finishing you off for good. If we allowed it then our presence would be known to the outer world. Time Cures are meant to be forgotten and keep the timelines from diverting into a…" She glanced down, her eyes sullen as if a memory had resurfaced, "A bad future is what we are meant to prevent. Leave the showy stuff to the main Cures." "So I'll be leaving my life behind in order to be your janitor?" The Queen nodded, "That sums it up but please sleep on it. If by tomorrow you decide not to accept the offer then I will have Tsuki return you and you can live out your years." Without another word the Queen departed and Tsuki looked at Gurē and she just proceeded back into the portal. With a sigh Tsuki shouted, "Take a left near the closed off sections! From there...you can return home." The portal closed and Tsuki turned to look at the Queen's crystal ball with a look of worry and doubt for the future. The Queen now in her private quarters just sat on her bed watching the waves roll and then reverse.
