Chapter 8: Entering Erass


Author's Note

For those who don't know how to pronounce the name "Erass," it's this: (ee-ross). That's all I have to say. Enjoy.


The remaining citizens in Crafty Town were corned to a dead end cliff as they watched Pencilia fight back the man in white defending for her town's people. Some of the citizens watched in fright while a few covered their eyes. Pencilia gave everything she got and sends a pink beam towards the man in white. The man quickly reacted as he sticks his hand toward the beam. When the beam made contact on his hand, the beam slowly disintegrated and disappears as if the man erased the beam. Pencilia moaned as she got her pencil staff and draws multiple missiles shape like pencils and sends them flying toward the man. The man sticks both his hands out as his hands started to glow in a white aura. He then sends white orb projectiles to the missiles, and when they made contact, they exploded, the missiles vanished, and they created a huge dust cloud that Pencilia couldn't see. Pencilia squinted her eyes to see better from the dust, but she jolted when the man in white came rushing in on an attack. She tries to move away, but the man in white is so quick, that the man landed a punch on the sage's stomach. Pencilia yelled in pain and she dropped her staff and was pushed back to the cliff's wall.

"PENCILIA!" the citizens shouted. The remaining escaped citizens went to the sage and picked her up. She moaned in pain as she looks up to the man in white. He was getting close to her and the group with his evil look on his face. A group of Blots were also behind the man surrounding the citizens and the sage not letting them escape. One of the Blots carried and held securely Pencilia's staff. The town's people were very scared and don't know what to do.

"Now tell me Miss Ditzy," said the man in white, "where's the Wonder Color of this forest?"

The sage woman makes a long pause with an angry mood, and then she replies, "I would rather die, than let you and your army take over the world."

"So be it." said the man in white in a grump. He sticks his hands towards the citizens and Sage Pencilia. His hands started to glow ready to launch an attack. "You wimpy people can join her death." The citizens shivered in fright even more. The man scrunches his eyes evilly, "Time that I erase you for good." The citizens and the sage closed their eyes and brace the impact of the man's attack. The man in white's hands started to glow brightly as he is about to launch his attack.

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" said a group of young people. The man jolted as he stops his attack and turns toward the sound. The Blots, the citizens, and Sage Pencilia also turned towards to the sound. And in their sight are the Pretty Cure girls, the fairies, Matthew Oda, Tint, and Daisy.

"You leave those people and Sage Pencilia alone you monster!" Tint yelled.

"Tint, you're okay." Sage Pencilia said in pain and slowly.

Then two citizens from the group, a woman and a man with glasses, spotted Daisy in the team and widen their eyes in shock. "Daisy!" the man with glasses shouted.

"Daisy-sweetie!" The woman shouted.

Daisy heard those voices as she knows and looks at the two adults. She gasped in shock and cried. "Mommy! Daddy!" Daisy cried.

"So that's your mother and father huh?" Rin said as she is next to Daisy's side.

"Let them go!" Kanade commanded. "All of them."

"And leave this place at once!" Yuko followed and shouted.

"And what makes you think that you could command me at such an order and tone like that?" the man in white asked.

"If you don't," Mana continued the order, "you'll be sorry you'll ever mess with us."

"So do as we say and leave here, now!" Karen commanded.

The man in white scoffed, "You think you can make me leave peacefully and quietly just by giving an order for me?" The man walks up to them. "You don't know who you're dealing with." He puts his left hand on his waist and his right hand on the lip of his cap. "I'm Erass, one of the general leaders of the Blots."

"Erass?" Yayoi wondered.

"That's right Miss Blonde, and I have the power to erase anything that's in my sight. Just one touch from my magical erasing hands and it disappears." He looks around and spots a cherry blossom on a tree. "Allow me to demonstrate." He walks close to the cherry blossom and sticks his finger towards the flower. Tsubomi sees the blossom and wondered what Erass is doing. As he touches the blossom, the bud and petals vanished leaving the stem to wilt. This made the Pretty Cure team flinched in shock, especially Tsubomi. "And there you have it girls. And how about you leave us alone and walk quietly away from us."

"How dare you…" Tsubomi said in an angry mood with her head down. The team and Erass spotted Tsubomi in her state. "That was a pretty blossom I've had ever seen in my life, and you had to 'erase' it because your evil? Not only you're so evil to people, but especially to the wonderful plant life." She lifts her head in her angry state. "I have reached my limit!" Everyone jolted by Tsubomi's angry mood.

Erika tries to calm her down, "Now, now Tsubomi, we're all here together, so let's take this heap of white junk out of here and save this town." Tsubomi nodded as she tries calm her anger toward Eras.

Yuri looks at Matt, "Matt-san, take care of Daisy and protect yourselves." Matt nodded and took Daisy to safety. The fairies and Tint tagged along with Matt and Daisy as they all hid behind a bush and tree for safety.

"Let's go girls!" Akane shouted as she swings her arm in confidence. "We can handle of few pieces of blobs and a white trash bag." A few Pretty Cure girls felt a chill by Akane's joke.

"Wait!" Sage Pencilia called out to them, "You don't know what you're dealing with girls. He's strong and quick."

"And so are we." Ellen stated in confidence.

This made Pencilia confused, but Tint flew to her and winks at the Sage. "You see, these are the girls from the vision that sage he told us." said Tint.

Sage Pencilia widen her eyes in astonishment and looks at the girls. "You mean they're…"

Every girl got their transformation items and raised them in front of them. "Everyone, let's transform!" Tsubomi commanded. Everyone nodded.

"Dual Aurora Wave!"

"Luminous! Shining Stream!"

"Dual Spiritual Power!"

"Pretty Cure! Metamorphose!"

"The star of hope that glitters in the night sky! Cure Fortune!"

Everyone strike their poses. "Everyone all together. Pretty Cure All Stars!" FLASH!

Daisy's eyes widen and her jaw dropped in great astonishment. "Oh my gosh! They are from what the sages told us, our great heroes of our world. The Pretty Cures!"

"Amazing huh?" said Matt in a cheery mood to Daisy.

The residents of the town and Sage Pencilia were also amazed by this great surprise. "Incredible, heaven has really answered our prayers." Pencilia said in relief and happiness. "It's the wonderful warriors, the Pretty Cures."

Erass and his henchmen flinched a little in surprise that they never expected that the ordinary teenage girls were actually the Pretty Cure warriors. "So you're the wonderful and goody two-shoe Pretty Cures we heard so much about." Erass said with little concern. He then put his hands on his waist, "No matter, even with your numbers, you still won't be able to defeat me and my minions."

"We'll see about that Mr. Cocky." said Cure Diamond in calm manner.

"We might a small number than your blobby group," Hime stated, "But when work together as a team, we're unstoppable and unbeatable."

"Really? Well maybe I can change that." Erass sticks his hand towards the Pretty Cures. "Blots! Get them!"

"GWOP-PO!" The blots yelled as they charged toward the Pretty Cure team.

"Let's go everyone!" Cure Heart commanded. Everyone dashed towards the Blots and commenced a fight. Even though the Blots were a huge group, the Pretty Cures were pummeling them to ground and knocking them out cold.


Cure Fortune takes the stage of a group of Blots as she held out her Fortune Piano. "It's time that I wipe you nasty blots freshly clean." She opens her Fortune Piano and puts her Anmistu Komachi cards in the slot. "Pretty Cure Shining Star Symphony." She presses the keys in order: purple, pink, and then yellow, and then she slides her fingers on all the keys from left to right. "Anmistu Komachi!" A light flashed and Cure Fortune is in her Japanese Kimono dress. "Pretty Cure, Dancing Sakura Blizzard!" She danced and claps her Fortune Tambourine. After she shakes her tambourine, she creates a cherry blossom tornado and sends the Blots flying into the air. As the Blots got into the air and took damage from the tornado, they burst into ashes and disintegrated. "And that's you how clean them up." Fortune said as she flicks her hair.


Cure Beauty, Cure Sword, Cure Mint, and Cure Sunshine were the monkeys in the middle when they are surrounded by a group of Blots. The Blots started to pounce onto them, but Sunshine and Mint acted fast.

"Pretty Cure Emerald Saucer!" Mint shouted and commanded. A green and giant circle appeared in the palm of Mint's hands.

"Sunshine Aegis!" Sunshine shouted as giant sunflower shield appeared in front of her.

Both of the shields were close together encasing the Pretty Cures for protection. When the Blots made contact, they crashed in pain and were pushed back by the energy of the shields. Some of them burst, while the rest were on ground in pain.

"It's our turn." Cure Sword commanded.

"Right." Cure Beauty replied.

Sword calls up her Love Heart Arrow and puts her Cure Lovead into the heart slot of the arrow. "Pretty Cure, Sparkle Sword!" she commanded as she pulls and releases the trigger multiple of time to send multiple of purple spade arrows towards the Blots.

Beauty got her Smile Pact giving her power for her attack. She gathers snow power in her right hand and then she draws a snowflake with her left hand. "Pretty Cure, Beauty Blizzard!" She shouted as she her snowy beam to the Blots.

When the two projectile attacks made contacts on the Blots, some were frozen solid and the others were pushed back in pain from the arrows. They all popped and turned into ashes.

"Awesome work Pretty Cures!" Sword complemented with a wink.

"This truly is the power of teamwork." Beauty stated.


Cure Lemonade sends and swishes her chains toward the blots knocking out and bursting them. "Alright! That was easy." said Lemonade as she ends her attack. But unbeknownst to her, a Blot leaps into the air and tries to land a punch on her. She noticed the Blot's presence and turns towards it. She screamed and panicked as the Blot got closer to her.

"Pretty Cure, Sunny Fire!" Cure Sunny shouted as she sends her attack to the ambushing Blot. The attack made contact and the Blot disintegrated from Sunny's attack. Sunny came up to Lemonade and patted on her shoulder. "You alright Lemonade?"

"Yeah, thanks Sunny." Lemonade kindly replies as she scratches the back of her head.


"Way to go Pretty Cures!" Moop cheered. "Keep it up-mupu!"

"Get them Pretty Cures! Get them-kuru!" Candy shouted.

"Don't lose your ground! Keep yourselves on your toes!" Tarte warned them.

"You can do it-nya!" Hummy yelled.

Daisy smiled and watched this exciting battle as the Pretty Cure triumphantly defeat the useless Blots. "Go for it Pretty Cures!" said Daisy in excitement.

"You seem to like them." Matt noted as he watches Daisy cheering on to the Pretty Cures.

Daisy heard Matt's statement and turns to him, "Of course, how about you?"

Matt looks up to the team and crosses his arms, "Me too, they're magnificent."


The Pretty Cures kept fighting and defeating every single Blot in their sight until the Blots were just a small group. The remaining Blots shivered in fright and hid themselves from the Pretty Cures. Erass saw this in his angry mood, and he looks back at the Pretty Cures who were standing tall and were perfectly healthy. "You girls sure are persistent." Erass groaned.

"We sure are." Cure Melody stated. "So why don't you just give up already?"

"Grr…My minions may be weak, but I will still 'erase' you for good." Erass's hands started to glow in a white aura.

"Not if I can help it." Cure Happy called out as prepares her attack. She draws a large pink heart in front of her and concentrates her energy to transfer into a smaller heart. "Pretty Cure, Happy Shower!" She thrusts her attack toward to Erass as a pink beam heads straight to him. But as the beam got close, Erass sticks his hand out as the beam made contact on his hand. When it happened, Happy's beam started to disappear and disintegrated. "EH?! No way!"

"Here, let me try!" Cure Marine volunteered. She circles her hand as bubbles appeared in front of her. "Marine Shoot!" she sends her bubbles toward Erass as a scatter shot. Eras' hands glowed as he sticks them toward the bubble projectiles and shoots out multiple white orbs. The two attacks made contact as Erass's attack cancels and erases Marine's attack. "Eh!? That's not fair!"

"Pretty Cures listen!" Sage Pencilia called out to them. She got the Pretty Cures' attention. "No matter what attacks you send to him, he can erase anything using his magical erasing hands! You have to find a way that his hands won't be in the way of your attacks." The Pretty Cures looked back at Erass.

"So then how can we pull that off?" Cure Rosetta wondered.

"If we use our attacks on him and he cancels them out, our energy levels will decrease and he'll sure to defeat us." Cure Passion pointed out the fact.

"So how can we defeat him with just one shot from our attacks?" Cure Peace frantically wondered.


Matthew, Daisy, and the fairies from the side watches the Pretty Cures struggle as they tried to figure out how deal with Eras and his incredible erasing magic.

"That power from Erass is strong." Ribbon stated. "The Pretty Cures might not have a chance to defeat him he keeps erasing their attacks-desu wa."

"There's gotta be some way to stop him-coco." said Coco in concern.

"But how-ropu?" Syrup followed.

"This does not look good," Tarte said with a little shiver, "What can we do?" Chiffon, next to Tarte, was a little bit worried as well.

"C'mon Pretty Cures, don't give up." Tint said in a firm mood.

"Don't give up Pretty Cures." Daisy cheered to the team. "I know you can do it!" Some of the girls heard Daisy's cheer, and they smiled back at her.


Matt Oda observes the battle from afar as he makes a concerned look on his face. "This isn't good," he said, "That Erass guy can eliminate any attack by touching them. I wish I could help the Pretty Cures, but all I can do still is cheer them on."

Cure Egret noticed Matt's concern state. "Don't be scared Matt." Egret called to him. Matt heard her and sees her. "We may be in a tough situation, but we'll find a way to break through."

"I know you're determined girls," Matt replies, "but how will you able to defeat a guy who can 'erase' your attacks. There's has to be some way to put his guard down. I mean something to surprise him from the back."

When Egret heard Matt's words, an idea hit her. "That's it!" She called out to the Pretty Cures for a group huddle. Every girl arrived and listened to Egret's plan. The Pretty Cures nodded and turned back towards Erass. They all got into their fighting stance.

"So are you ready to call it quits and let me find that Wonder Color?" Erass asked in an orderly manner.

"Not yet Erass," Milky Rose said on the contrary, "We still have a trick up in our sleeve."

"Well no matter what you throw at me, I will still cancel your attacks." Erass got into his fighting stance. "So bring it on you frilly weaklings."

"Let's go everyone!" Cure Peach commanded. The team rushed toward Erass as they landed punches on him, but he block the attacks. A few of the girls even tried to trip him over with their round kick, but Erass evaded the attack. Erass concentrated on the all of the girls attacks and blocked them well, until out of the blue…

"Pretty Cure, Twin Stream Splash!" Erass heard and looked up. A stream of a blue and yellow water heads right to him. The attack was coming from Cure Bloom and Cure Egret. Erass held out his hands toward the stream and block the attack. Slowly the stream starts to disappear by his erasing hands.

"Heh, is that all you got Pretty Cures?" Erass said in amusement. "You still can't beat me."

Bloom and Egret smiled as they continued their attack. "You let your guard down Erass." both said in unison.

Erass blinked in confusion. Swoosh! Suddenly someone is behind him and she places her hand on Erass's back. He turned around quickly and sees Cure Moonlight. "Moonlight Silver Impact." Her palm that touches Erass's back started to glow in a silver aura, and then makes explosion impact. Erass is then pushed in pain away from Moonlight and flies towards to Cure Black and Cure White. Both of the girls screamed as they punched him into the air. He yelled in pain as he is high into the air. He snapped out of this unconsciousness and looks around.

"Pretty Cure, March Shoot!" Erass looked up ahead and sees March's green orb projectiles flying toward him. He reacted fast as he sends his white erasing orbs to the March's projectiles. But March smirked as Erass fell into her trap.

"Pretty Cure, Fire Strike!" Erass flinched as he turned his head around quickly and sees Rouge's attack heading straight towards him. He tries to cancel it, but Rouge's fireball moves too fast that it made contact and pushed him away in pain.

Erass was knocked out again as he flies in the middle of the air. "Princess Ball!" Erass heard, looked up, and sees the blue ball from Cure Princess's attack heading straight towards him. The ball made contact and exploded sending him towards the ground. He screamed in pain and then…BOOM! Erass crashed to the ground.

Erass groaned in pain as he tries to get up from the ground. "Ace Shot!" Erass suddenly looked up from the voice he heard and sees Cure Ace's yellow stream attack heading towards him. When the Ace's attack made contact on him, he was wrapped in green vines making him immobilize and can't use his erasing hands. He tries to break free, but due to his injuries, he can't get out of the vines.

"It's my turn to shine." Cure Rhythm as she got Fantastic Belltier out in her hand. "Come out, Tone Ring!" Rhythm draws a huge yellow circle in front of her and grabs it. "Pretty Cure Music Rondo!" She flicks the ring and sends toward Erass. He sees the ring getting closer as he panicked trying to break free. The ring made contact on him and it swirled around him. "3/4 Beat! 1…2…3! Finale!" The ring expanded, enclosed on the tied up Erass, and then it exploded.

After Rhythm's attack, Erass was then pushed back while screaming in pain. He was flying straight toward the small group Blots and one of them carried Sage Pencilia's staff. The Blots panicked and then…Boom! Erass and the Blots collided with each other, and the Blot who had the staff let go and sends it twirling into the air. The staff was heading to Pencilia and she grabbed it. "My staff." Pecilia said with joy.

"Excellent Rhythm!" Melody complemented.

"Thank you very much, Melody." Rhythm gracefully replied.

The Blots got up from the impact, but Erass struggles himself to get up on his feet. He was all scratched all and worn out by the Pretty Cures' sneaky attacks. Erass twitched when his left arm sting in pain. He looked up with one eye open and sees the Pretty Cures standing tall and strong.

"So do you want to 'erase' more and we get tough on you even more, or what?" Cure Blossom requested in a grump.

"Blossom, take it easy." said Cure Marine trying to relax Blossom.

Erass manages to stand on his feet, but he was feeling weak. His whole body was shaking in pain. He then swiftly moves his right arm and points toward the Pretty Cures, "You may have won this round, but the next time we meet, you won't be so lucky!" He snaps his fingers to the Blots. "Retreat troops!" The blots saluted in agreement as one of them drew a hole that is a portal back to their base. The Blots went to the portal first, while Erass looks back on the girls with a mean look. "I will defeat you Pretty Cures! Ciao!" he said in grump. Erass jumps into the portal and it closed and disappears.

The Pretty Cures smiled. "Alright!" they all shouted in cheer.

"Bravo! Bravo Pretty Cures!" Matt applauded while clapping his hands.

"You did it! Way to go!" Daisy said in great cheer.

All the citizens who are free from the Blots all came in front the Pretty Cures and applauded. Pretty Cures were happy to receive everyone's gratitude.

Sage Pencilia walks up to the team and smiles. "Pretty Cure, I couldn't be any happier. Thank you for saving all of us and the town." She then bows to the team.

"You're welcome," Cure Berry replied, "but are you alright?"

The sage nodded, "Yeah, just a little bruise." She rubs her stomach to relax the pain.

"Mommy, Daddy!" Daisy happily cried. The team looks toward Daisy and they smiled as Daisy is reunited with her mother and father.

"Daisy my sweetie flower, you're alright." the mother happily said as she hugged her young daughter and cried with tears of happiness.

"You're a very brave girl my dear." said the father as he patted Daisy's head.

Some of the Pretty Cures cried with joy, but all of the girls were very happy by this wonderful and tearful reunion.

Cure Bloom looks back at her partner Cure Egret with a chat, "Egret, that plan of yours was really awesome." Egret heard Bloom's words and she blinked.

"Yeah, that was really smart Egret." Cure Dream commented. All of the Pretty Cures grinned at Egret because of her plan.

Egret smiled, "Thanks, but I couldn't figure out how to defeat him if it wasn't for Matt." The team blinked and Egret turned to Matt. "He came up with a suggestion of how to defeat that Erass."

"Me?" Matt said in confusion, "All I said was to find a way to surprise Erass from the back."

"And that was it." Cure Egret smiled. "A surprise attack from behind is just what we needed. Thanks Matt."

"Great thinking again Matt-san." Shiny Luminous said with joy.

Matt scratches his head and grinned, "Ah, it was nothing. Besides you did all the work, I just gave you all a strategic thought."

Ace walks up to Matt and pats his shoulder. Matt sees Ace smiling at him. "Y'know, I think we Pretty Cures made the right choice to have you on the team. You're really are smart." All the Pretty Cures agreed and Matt smiled even more.
