Chapter 3

Drens' Attack

Raspberry quietly waited outside Ichigos' house. When she saw that Ichigo and this times' Masha had left, she used her cat powers to get to Ichigos' room. She and the future Masha looked all around her room, but the Sutoro bell bell was nowhere in sight.

"Drat, Mom must have taken it to school with her." Raspberry said to Masha, who tweeted back. "Come on, we need to find the school so we can get the Sutoro bell bell, get back to our time, and then bring it back A.S.A.P. Lets go Masha." I hope the others are doing better than I am. Raspberry thought as she teleported.

Thyme was doing slightly better that Raspberry was at the time. Even though the security system was top grade, it was old and obsolete to Thyme. Plus, the security system wasn't programmed to alert when someone flew in. Thyme quickly grabbed the Mint Alo, and got out of the house, she had a little trouble with Mickey, but a Milkbone was all that was needed to fix that.

Cabbage was making the long trek to Lettuces school. Because Lettuce didn't have a fancy security system like Mint or Zakuro, she had taken her ability with her. But, she had left the Lettuce Tanets in her locker. Cabbage got to Lettuces school at lunch time, obtained the tanets, and left, to go back to the hideout to meet everyone else.

Custard knew pudding would leave the Pudding Rings at home. Luckily for her, Custard was the same age as Pudding at the time, and looked just like her. She quickly retrieved the rings, without Puddings brothers, eventually to be Custards uncles knowing the difference. So far, everything was working out fine.

Zaki was having some trouble, after all, Zakuro had a pretty good security system, and Zaki couldn't fly like Thyme could. Further more, Zaki couldn't figure out how she was going to disable the security system, and steal the Zakuro Whip without getting caught on the camera. Finally, Zaki just decided to go and get Thyme to help, and by that time Raspberry had retrieved the Sutoro Bell Bell. When Zaki got there, they all packed up, and then went and got the Zakuro whip. Everything seemed to be going fine. Raspberry was ready to teleport them when Zaki stopped her.

"Hey, Raspberry, I don't think any of us have had a bite to eat all day, how about we go get something to eat first. I don't think any of us want to battle Celayans on an empty stomach." Zaki pointed out. "And we still need to find a Mew Aqua."

Raspberry thought about that. "What does everyone else think, I'm all for it if you are." She asked

"Definitely." Custard answered.

"I'm in." Agreed Thyme.

"Lets go." Cabbage approved.

"Alright then," Raspberry said, detransforming, "then, lets go get something to eat."

They all bought sandwiches and soda from a store, and they thought things were going pretty good.

"Hey, how about we go and get some ice cream in the park after this? It's right across the street." Thyme suggested.

"Yay, ice cream!" Cheered Custard, her mouth full of sandwich.

Each of the original mews met in the park after school. All of the abilities had been stolen.

"Lets go to the café. Maybe Ryou will think of something." Ichigo said.

"That's about the only thing we can do." Answered Lettuce.

Suddenly a platoon of Kirenma Anima appeared!

"Guys, what do we do now?" Mint asked.

"Well, if we weren't being cornered in, we would run, but that isn't

an option now." Zakuro answered.

"Well, we've finally got you five." Kish said, appearing.

"Will you just leave me alone!" Ichigo shouted at him.

"Sorry, but, no. Our Kirenma Anima got an upgrade, from a very helpful person, who would like to introduce himself to you." As Kish finished Dren appeared.

"So, the famous Tokyo Mew Mew will end here. It's a little early, but as long as it keeps those brats out of my hair, I won't have a problem. Allow me to introduce my self. I am Dren of the Celayans. I have come from the future, for one purpose, to dispose of you, to get rid of those Mini Mews. They probably traveled back to try to stop us somehow, but have made on error, they didn't expect me. Now they will disappear as I destroy you." Dren Monologued.

"Wait, what? I thought those mini versions of us were on your side!" Ichigo demanded of Kish.

"They probably didn't want to get you involved, so they attempted to try to get some items that would help, but, they'll never find out now will they?" Dren sneered. "Goodbye Mew Mews!" suddenly at the same time as the Kirenma Anima attacked, Dren threw an energy attack at the 5 trapped mew mews.

Suddenly, they heard a shout "Ribbon Custard Shield!" An ability that looked like puddings suddenly surrounded them, and the attack was much like Ribbon Pudding Ring Inferno, except the mew mews were the ones inside the rings, but they weren't being smothered by a pudding/jello-like substance.

"Dren! You leave them out of this!" Mew Raspberry shouted, as the mini mews appeared in the shield.

"Kirenma Anima! Break the shield and destroy them!" Dren ordered.

"Raspberry, we need to get out of here." Mew Zaki advised.

"Right, Ribbon Raspberry Portal!" a ring of pink suddenly appeared.

"Come on!" Mew Cabbage said to the original Mew Mews as she jumped through.

"What do we do?" Ichigo asked some of the other original Mew Mews.

"Let's go with them, they're on our side, and they can explain later." Zakuro said.

"Right." Agreed Lettuce.

Lettuce copied Mew Cabbage and jumped through the portal. Zakuro and Mew Zaki followed, then Mint and Mew Thyme.

"Custard, are you going to go first?" Mew Raspberry asked.

"I'll keep the shield active, just give me time to get through after you go through." Mew Custard answered.

"Okay then."

Mew Raspberry looked at each other and nodded, and jumped through the portal at the same time. Almost instantly they were outside the Café. After a few seconds, Mew Custard and Pudding appeared, and Mew Raspberry closed the portal.

"So, let's get the story now shall we?" Zakuro asked, her eyes hardening like purple diamonds.

The mini mews detransformed, then, Raspberry reached into her backpack, and pulled out the Sutoro Bell Bell. "We're really sorry." Raspberry began, offering the Bell Bell back to Ichigo, "It's just we wanted to save our time, but none of us are strong enough. We were going to bring you abilities right back, it's just, we weren't, counting on Dren to follow us here. We didn't want to get you involved, because…." Raspberry started sniffling. 'Our time is doomed, we failed, and after this, the original Mew Mews will never help us.' Raspberry thought to herself. The other mini mews were giving back the abilities they had taken, they were obviously thinking the same things as well.

"There were some questions you couldn't answer, that we would have probably asked, if you came and asked ups for help, right?" Zakuro guessed.

Raspberry nodded. "It's just, our mom's had lost their powers, and we just… we just didn't know what to do."

The future Masha tweeted softly and landed on Raspberries shoulder.

"We should probably go and see what Ryou thinks we should do." Lettuce whispered in Ichigos' ear. Ichigo nodded back.

"How about we go into the Café, and figure out what we're going to do about all this." Ichigo half suggested. They, everyone, Present mew mews and future mini mews went to the Café. All of the mini mews felt horrible, they were sure that they were going to get sent home to fend for their selves, they were positive they would never get any help from the original mew mews. Now they had to go inside and hear them say it.
