Episode 06: |PreCure Fan Club! Part 2!|
"Dang~buku," whispers Bukku from Imari's book bag. "These guys really love attacking during lunch time~buku."
"Do you think Cure Fable will show up?" asks Yū with a shaky voice. "I mean, she has to. Right, Imari-chan?"
"Of course she will!" insists Tsubaki standing up alongside Imari. "She's gonna charge in any second one and clobber that monster in the flipping face!"
I would love to, agrees Imari to herself. But, I can't just transform in front of Yū and Nīmi-senpai! I have to find a way to get out of here like last time.
But, as Imari tried to sneak away, Yū abruptly grabs her arm. "Imari-chan…I'm scared."
Imari blinks in surprise. "I-it's okay, Yū-chan. We're going to be fine. Just like last time. Remember?"
Yū nods nervously.
Imari smiles softly, "Then, we're going to be—"
"—YOU KNOW, CURE FABLE!" hollers Xoanon. "YOU SHOULD KNOW; I'M NOT A PATIENT MAN! SINCE YOU'RE NOT COMING OUT; MY ENDINGU WILL JUST HAVE TO COME IN!"
At that moment, Imari takes a better glimpse at the Endingu. It was dressed in green and had a matching hat with a red feather.
Why does that Endingu look so familiar, wonders Imari.
Yū and Tsubaki look out in horror as Imari realizes too late. The Endingu's Shadow separates completely from its body! And comes charging straight at the girls.
It's Peter Pan, grasps Imari. And his Shadow!
"Everyone!" cries Imari. "Run! Get out of here!"
The Shadow smashes through the window and jumps at the students.
"Endingu!"
The Shadow knocks their table completely over, sending Imari falling down this it.
"Suzukawa-san!" gasps Bukku unable to help her without revealing himself. "Are you okay~buku?"
Imari staggers up onto her knees. "I'm fine—!"
"KYAA!"
The students start running out of the cafeteria screaming and trying to avoid the Shadow's strikes.
Yū desperately helps her friend up to her feet. "Come on, Imari-chan! We have to get out of her!"
"Okay," nods Imari.
She picks up her book bag with Bukku. They grabs each other's hand and struggles through the frighten schoolmates to the main exit. Suddenly, the Shadow reaches out at Imari and knocks her in the shoulder. Imari lets go of Yū's hand and is sent tumbling.
"IMARI-CHAN!" screams Yū as she is sucked up and pushed out of the cafeteria with all the other scared students.
She bangs into a fallen table as she lands and lets out a hurtful yelp.
"LOOK AT THEM ALL!" laughs Xoanon maniacally. "RUNNING LIKE MICE FROM A CAT!"
"That does it," declares Imari as she quickly jumps behind the fallen table and pulls out her PreHeartBook. "This Endingu is going to get a supreme butt kicking!"
As Peter Pan's Shadow lifts up the table, it is blinded back by a burst of pink light.
"Pretty Cure Unlock My Story!"
The Shadow lets out a hiss and races away back to the Endingu.
"The Story of Dreams! Cure Fable!"
Without hesitation, Cure Fable follows the dark figure; jumping through the broken window.
"AH," says Xoanon satisfied. "THERE YOU ARE, CURE FABLE!"
Cure Fable contained her composure. "Attacking innocent students is pretty low, muscle man."
"NOW YOU'RE STARTING TO CATCH ON!" taunts Xoanon. "TO BAD FOR YOU, I'M NOT IN THE MOOD TO TALK! ENDINGU!"
"Endingu!"
Once again, Peter Pan's detaches itself from the monster and lunges for the legendary warrior.
"Pretty Cure Punch!"
Cure Fable jabs at the Shadow. However, to her surprise, her fist goes straight through. The Shadow snickers like a bratty little kid and claws Cure Fable in the stomach. She manages to stand her ground.
"Pretty Cure Kick!"
And just like, before; her attack goes straight through the Shadow. Cure Fable starts storming the dark figure with a barrage of her best hits, but the results are the same.
"Just is completely rigged~buku!" barks Bukku furiously. "She can't even hit it~buku!"
Xoanon smirks. "THAT KINDA THE IDEA, RUNT!"
The Shadow assaults Cure Fable again. But, this time, she's ready.
"Dream Bubble!"
"There you go~buku," Bukku grins confidently. "Take that, you stupid Dark Charm Knight—!"
The dark figure goes right through the shield and whacks Cure Fable in her side.
"Seriously~buku! It goes through shields too~buku!"
"I really hate this Endingu right now too," agrees Cure Fable with a wince. "But, don't worry, Your Highness. I'll find a way to beat it."
"NOT IF IT BEATS YOU FIRST!" snaps Xoanon.
The Shadow goes to slash at Cure Fable again.
"Hey, ugly!"
Cure Fable nearly jumps out of her skin and she turns to see Tsubaki Nīmi standing there a few meters away from Xoanon.
"Why don't you come and get me!" she yells sticking her tongue out.
"WHAT THE HECK?!" huffs Xoanon. "WHAT DO WANT, KID? I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF DESTROYING MY ENEMY HERE!—"
"—Rock to the face!"
Without a second though, Tsubaki pips up a pebble on the ground and chucks it at Xoanon. Hitting him square in the jaw.
"OWWW!" roars the Dark Charm Knight. "YOU LITTLE BRAT!"
Xoanon snaps his fingers. The Shadow obeys his command and swiftly returns to the Endingu. It crimson red eyes flash alive.
"ENDINGU!" orders Xoanon. "WHY DON'T YOU SHOW THIS SPOILED BRAT SOME MANAGERS?!"
No!
"Endingu!"
The monster charges at Tsubaki. Her eyes widen in panic. She backs up, but ends up hitting the school wall. The creature fists his fist into the air.
"Endingu!"
Tsubaki closes her eyes and hold up her hands. "KYAA!"
However, nothing happens. Surprised, Tsubaki opens her eyes. The PreCure stands in front of her with the pink bubble holding back the Endingu. The monster stumbles backwards. Cure Fable takes the opening and delivers a powerful punch to the monster's face. Then, she swings her leg into its gut. The Peter Pan Endingu stumbles to find it footing, but Cure Fable doesn't give it the chance.
"Fable KaBoom!"
A giant blast of pink light blazes out of Cure Fable's hands. And, while the Endingu is distracted trying to recover, Cure Fable picks up Tsubaki and leaps out of harm. But, not without snatching up Bukku as well.
"Wait, wait, wait~buku!" gasps Bukku. "You need to go back and fight the Endingu~buku!"
"Yeah, what the talking stuffed animal said!" nods Tsubaki.
"Why do you humans think I'm a stuffed animal~buku!"
"And that's exactly what I'm going to do," states Cure Fable, "After I get you someplace safe, Tsubaki."
Cure Fable manages to jump over the entire junior high division building and place Tsubaki securely at the front door of the school.
"Now," says Cure Fable, "You need to go. Find your classmates. Make sure everyone is safe."
"Alright~buku," claps Bukku, "let's go~buku."
As Cure Fable goes back to fighting, Tsubaki grabs her hand.
"Wait!" Tsubaki cries. "Please, just hold on a second—!"
Faster than Tsubaki could think, Cure Fable turns around. And hugs Tsubaki.
"Thank you," smiles Cure Fable gently.
I've wanted to say that to you all day, Nīmi-senpai.
"Knowing that there is someone—like you—who is cheering for me," continues Cure Fable. "That while I'm fighting, you're fighting with me too. It made me feel stronger, braver, like I could take down an army of Endingu."
Cure Fable tightens her hug. "Thank you for cheering for me. Thank you for fighting with me. But, most of all, Tsubaki…"
She opens up, but keeps her hands on Tsubaki's shoulders. "…thank you for making me stronger."
"C-Cure…Fable," stammers Tsubaki with a stunned frown.
Cure Fable takes her pointer fingers and pushes Tsubaki's mouth into a smile, "Supreme smile power!"
Tsubaki blinks astonished.
Cure Fable winks. "Everyone's smile will be my greatest source of strength."
"Cure Fable," interrupts the fairy prince. "We have to go~buku. Before Xoanon erupts like a volcano~buku."
Cure Fable giggles softly. "We wouldn't want that now would we?"
Bukku hops into her arms. And with that, the legendary warrior soars high into the air.
"I even think I have an idea on how to defeat the Endingu," beams Cure Fable.
"Excellent~buku," grins Bukku. "Because here it comes~buku!"
"Endingu!"
Reacting on instinct, Cure Fable conceals Bukku into one of her pink bubbles.
"What are you doing~buku?!" yelps Bukku.
Cure Fable blows on the bubble and allows the fairy prince to float to lightly the ground. But, she gets a full impact of the monster's fist and was slammed down on the pavement below.
"YOU KNOW, CURE FABLE!" snarls Xoanon. "I DON'T APPRECIATE YOU LEAVING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR BRAWL!"
Cure Fable staggers to her feet. "The safety of everyone else, like Bukku and Nīmi-senpai, will always, always come before you guys."
That pissed Xoanon off big time.
"ENDINGU!" shouts Xoanon. "FINISH HER OFF!"
"Endingu!"
Once more, the Shadow of the monster disconnects from its body. The glow in the Endingu's eyes disappears along with it.
Here we go, breathes Cure Fable.
The Shadow rips at the legendary warrior, but she bounces out of the way. The dark figure attacks once more, but she continues to evade it.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!" cackles Xoanon. "ARE YOU A HELPLESS BUNNY NOW, CURE FABLE?!—"
"—Would you shut up already~buku!" snaps Bukku. "The only one that can insult Cure Fable is me~buku."
"JUST GET HER!" orders Xoanon.
The Shadow persists to slash at the PreCure. But, she keeps on dodging and spring farther and farther away from it. Cure Fable looks behind her to see that she about to back up into the school wall. The Shadow cuts at her one more time and Cure Fable takes the biggest leap back into the shade of the wall and pins herself against it.
"IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR LITTLE GUARDIAN CORNERED, PRINCE," mocks Xoanon.
The Shadow's eyes flash gleefully and hurtles itself at Cure Fable. And right into the thick shade of the school wall. The dark figure is alarmed as it reaches out for claw the legendary warrior that it starts to get sucked into the shade.
"Time for the shadow to become trapped in bigger darkness," says Cure Fable.
Peter Pan's Shadow falls to the floor and struggles to fight as it's slowly pulled into the shade.
"What happens when a small goes into a bigger shadow? It disappears into the bigger one."
The dark figure lets out a terrified scream as it vanishes into the giant shadow of the school wall.
Now, the Endingu is wide open, thinks Cure Fable.
I remember when the Shadow first left its owner's body; it was almost like it shut off and it lost the red in its eyes. The Shadow was the mind and soul of the Endingu.
And, without it; the Endingu is just a hollow shell is now a hollow shell with its Shadow.
Without hesitation, Cure Fable opens up her hands and the PreHeartBook appears in a sparkle of pink light. "Monster corrupted by darkness, I will return your happy ending to you!"
"NO!" shouls Xoanon.
Bukku smirks. "Do your thing, Cure Fable!"
"Pretty Cure Dreamy Joie De Vivre!"
"Ending…" moans the Endingu as it fade away into the shimmering light.
"Oh! Imari-chan!" breathes Yū as she tightly hugs her friend. "When I last you in the crowd I was so scared!"
Imari smiles and hugs her back. "I'm okay, Yū-chan. But, I'm sorry I made you so worried."
The two friends broke apart and Imari looks over Yū's shoulder to see Tsubaki approach Student Council President Masato Kashima.
"Yū-chan," starts Imari. "Do you mind if I…"
Yū turns around and spots Tsubaki. She looks back and grins. "Sure. I'll meet you at class."
Imari grins back and walks over to join Tsubaki and Masato.
"What do you want, Nīmi-san?" huffs Masato crossing his arms.
"To change my answer," says Tsubaki nervously.
Imari stands next to Tsubaki.
Tsubaki takes a deep breath. "I do want to cheer on Cure Fable, but…you said…why we need a fan club. What it would be for."
"I did," nods Masato. "So…what would it be for."
Tsubaki swallows and turns to Imari. "To would be for…"
Imari smiles and gives her a supportive nod.
Tsubaki turns back to Masato. "To would give everyone…hope."
Masato blinks in surprise.
"When that monster—when that Endingu —attacked," carries on Tsubaki. "I saw how terrified everyone was. They were running and screaming. I was scared too."
"But, when Cure Fable saved me; I wasn't afraid anymore. Because I believed in her."
Masato is quiet, so Tsubaki continues. "That's why I think we need to have the fan club. Not to idolize or worship, but to help everyone believe in Cure Fable too."
Tsubaki smiles brightly. "And, with time, the fear will be gone and change into hope. Hope that Cure Fable will protect us."
Masato stays silent for the longest time after. Imari couldn't help, but fidget as she waits for him to respond. And he finally does. "I will think about it," he says.
"THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!" beams Tsubaki as she tackles the Student Council President into a bear hug.
Masato tries to pull away. "Get off! Get off! Suzukawa-kōhai, help me!"
Imari bursts out laughing.
"Um…excuse me."
Tsubaki and Masato pause as Imari turns around it see a small group of girl students approach them. "Y-you're Tsubaki Nīmi, right?" stutters one of the girls timidly.
"Yeah, you were asking around at lunch for PreCure Fan Club member," tells another.
"We were wonder…" speaks a girl. "…If you were still accepting members."
"If you're still doing it, that is," says the last girl.
Tsubaki bursts into a huge smile and looks at Masato victoriously. "Yeah, Masato-kun. Will you pitch the idea to the Principal? Pretty Cure please with a cherry on top."
Imari held back another laugh seeing how trapped Masato was.
"Fine," he finally grumbles. "I'll ask the Principal about it."
"Yeah!" cheers the group of girls.
"Another successful day as a PreCure, Suzukawa-san," starts Bukku as the last bell rings. "That was some quick thinking today~buku."
"What? A compliment from thee Prince Bukku De La Hope Wish Von Dream Star!" gasps Imari dramatically. "I'm speechless!"
"Ha-ha. Very funny~buku," says Bukku. "But, I mean it though~buku. You're not always a complete idiot after all~buku."
"Annnnd there it is," chuckles Imari as she walks out of the school's front door. "In the words of the great Nīmi-senpai; 'You try overthrowing a thirty-foot monster!'"
"Imari-chan! Hold up!"
"Speak of the devil~buku," snickers Bukku and hides back inside Imari's book bag.
Imari turns around to see Tsubaki running towards her. "Hello, Nīmi-senpai. What is it?"
Tsubaki stops right in front of her and beams a wide smile. "Masato-kun and I just got back from talking to the Principal. You are now looking at the President of the PreCure Fan Club!"
"Really?" shines Imari. "That was fast."
"Well, the Principal was completely sold on the idea," Tsubaki gushes. "Seeing as this was the, like, third time an Endingu has attacked the Academy."
Play it cool, Imari.
"An Endingu?" echoes Imari tipping her head to the side.
Tsubaki bobs her head. "Yeah, that's what Cure Fable called them. She was more amazing then I thought she would be!"
Imari tries to hold back from blushing. "R-really?—"
"—But, she was waaaaay shorter than I thought she would be." Imari bites her tongue and try to hold back the depression lines.
"Anways…" Tsubaki goes on. "I still need a Vice President for the fan club."
Imari smiles. But, shakes her head.
"I appreciate the offer, Nīmi-senpai," says Imari. "But, I have been thinking about it and…I think I still need to keep looking for the perfect club for me."
Plus, Imari says to herself. It would be just a little weird being a part of club that looks up to me. Cheering with the fan club while I'm fighting seems just confusing.
Tsubaki looks a bit disappointed by keeps her smile. "I understand. But, thank you so much for everything today."
Tsubaki reaches her hand out to Imari. "If it's any consolation; I think your nickname is dead wrong."
Imari shakes Tsubaki's hand. "Thank you."
"I'm home!" calls Imari as she kicks her shoes off at the door.
"Welcome home, sweetheart!" greets her mother. "How was school?"
"Very eventful," replies Imari.
"Your father is still working in the café. Do you think you can give him a hand with the last few orders?"
"Sure," accepts Imari. "I just have to drop my bag off in my room first."
Imari hurries to her bedroom and put her book bag kindly on her bed. She opens up her bag "Okay, Your Highness. We're home."
Her eyes soften as she sees that the fairy prince had fallen asleep. Imari carefully put him up and lays him down on her pillow. "Sweet dreams, Bukku."
She goes back into her bag for her homework and spots something out of the corner of her eye. Bukku had drawn in the colouring book. It looked like a little kid sketched in it. It was a drawing of her as Cure Fable and Bukku on her head. At the bottom of the paper was writing.
You will always have my support. I promise.
– Sincerely, Your Stuffed Animal
Next Time on Fairytale PreCure!
Imari: Does this mean I can call you just Bukku now?
Bukku: No~buku!
Imari: But, you do have a soft spot though!
Bukku: No, I don't~buku!
Imari: You love this idiot. Admit it!
Bukku: Shut up~buku!
Imari: Bukku Switcheroo! Meet Tomoka!
Ha-ha! Looks it's your turn to be the idiot!
