BIO: Daiki just doesn't know what to do. Ever since he parted ways with Tsukasa, he now regrets trying to steal the best treasures of the Rider worlds. But what's better than timeless suits, powerful Final Form Rides, and the like? His questions were answered when a sky blue-haired girl approached the sad Rider, sulking on a park bench. "You're guilty of something, aren't you?", asked the girl. He didn't listen. Then she noticed, in a holster on his belt, a weird gun. "You're a Kamen Rider, aren't you?" Thinking she's an enemy, Daiki reacted and pointed his Diend Driver at her. He didn't shoot, but he won't hesitate to pull the trigger. "Who are you?", he asked. That's when he saw a portion of a strange-looking mirror sticking out of the girl's skirt pocket. "A Pretty Cure, huh?" Slowly, he lowered his gun. "What are you doing here?" "I'm just walking around these parts…", said the girl. "…until I noticed you there. Tell me, what's bothering you?" Daiki was not in the mood to tell her, but he can't hold it any longer, so he told her everything.
After what appears to be 15 minutes, he felt better. It looks like a 1-ton weight was lifted from him. "I see", said the girl. She then introduced herself as Shirayuki Hime, princess of the Blue Sky Kingdom and a member of the Happiness Charge Pretty Cure team. Daiki also introduced himself, even telling her that, yes, he's a Kamen Rider. Kamen Rider Diend. After a few moments, they were breaking the ice little by little. Just when the sun was setting over the horizon, Hime said to him that it was a fun talk. "If you want to, come by the Pikarigaoka Embassy for a visit sometime! I live there!" She then said bye to him, and left the park. Suddenly, he felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in his chest. What was it? Shaking it off, he left the park as well.
The next day, he found the embassy. It's a huge house. "Wow, so big…", he thought. He opened the gate and approached the door. He knocked on it, and in a split second, Hime opened the door. "Kaitou-san! Welcome!" It surprised him, but he shook it off and went in. Sitting in the living room, he looked around. What fascinated him more were the mirrors hanging on the wall on his left. Just then, "TA-DA!" Once again, she surprised him. "I brought ya food! It's a Hime original!" "Uh…thanks…", he said with some doubts. Taking a bowl of food, he tried it. A sudden burst of energy in his mouth made him eat the whole thing in a very fast pace. Hime smiled, as she expected this to happen like all of the other people that tried her recipes. After that day, he visited the house every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It shows how much he loves her food.
A few months had passed, and their relationship had grown stronger and stronger. They became best friends, going everywhere across Pikarigaoka, and even Tokyo. They fought monsters together. Daiki even went to the Blue Sky Kingdom a few times. By 2028, they became boyfriend and girlfriend. That's when Daiki realized what was the warm and fuzzy feeling: it was love. "Love. The best treasure I could ever obtain", he thought, as he sat on the same park bench where he met his potential girlfriend, now happily sitting next to him. By 2029, he went back to the Blue Sky Kingdom, permanently as king of the realm, along with his newlywed wife as queen. Then, by September 9, 2030, their child was born, called "Princess Ciel of the Blue Sky". In the human world, she's known as "Kaitou Sora".
Sora lived a very happy life. Most of the time, she travels with her parents to Pikarigaoka to either go to school, or to make some fantastic memories. But, by the age of 15, she will have her first sad memory, as a mysterious figure in a brown attire similar to a detective in black, rectangular glasses saw the family walking by. "First Decade, now Diend?", he thought out loud as he clenches a fist.
As Daiki, Hime, and Sora were walking in the center plaza of a mall, laughing and having a great time, the same figure appeared in front of them. The family stopped and saw the figure. Daiki could've sworn he saw that guy before. But he finally recognized the figure as he yelled, "Damn you, Diend! DAMN YOU, DIEND!" "Narutaki? What the heck are you doing here?", asked Daiki. "That's what I'm about to ask you!", yelled Narutaki. "Having a happy life with these creatures!" He pointed to Hime and Sora, both of them astonished by being called "creatures". "Yeah, so what? They're my family, and no one insults my family!" "Perhaps you don't understand", said Narutaki. Using his dimension-bending powers, he showed Daiki a picture of Tsukasa with two other people, smiling. "Tsukasa?" Hime recognized the pink-haired girl next to Tsukasa. "Megumi?" And Sora recognized the girl between Tsukasa and Megumi, who is her best friend in school. "Juu-chan?"
"Yes", said Narutaki. "The destroyer of worlds has a child now. Who knows what she can do to erase this world from existence. And now, you also have a child. One of you should've been dead in the first place!" Daiki suddenly realized what he was trying to say. "Look, we've went our separate ways years ago. We're no longer rivals, and I'm happy that he has a family, much like how I'm happy that I have a family." Hime and Sora smiled and hugged Daiki. "But...but you're The Shadow Thief! You're supposed to steal the universe's greatest treasures!", yelled Narutaki. "Isn't that your purpose in life?" Daiki closed his eyes and smiled. "You're right". He opened his eyes again and looked at the brown-clad man. "However, I've regretted doing so. Hime here taught me that life is not about suits, or cards, or any of that sort." He pointed at Narutaki. "Now, I've learned about life's greatest treasures. They are happiness, courage, kindness…and love". Narutaki made a disgusted face. "Yuck! It's so cheesy, it makes me want to puke! Fine then! If Decade can't destroy you, then I'll have to do it personally!" Opening a dimensional rift, he summoned a black Kamen Rider bearing a striking resemblance to Ryuki.
"Hide, Sora-chan!", said Hime. "But Mother, will you and Father be OK?", asked a worried Sora. "Don't worry", said Daiki. He gave her a thumbs-up. "We'll be OK." Nodding, Sora ran and hid in a store. Turning around, he looked at the brown-suited man and his evil Rider. "Narutaki. You must understand. Tsukasa does not destroy worlds, he protects them. I no longer steal treasures. Just like time, we change! And sometimes, your perceptions of people are not what you expect!" Narutaki growled through clenched teeth. "You might not believe me right now. You still think that I'm still a thief and I don't deserve a wife and children. You still think that I deserve to be dead. Well then, perhaps it's time to show you what it's like to live a happy life other than stealing treasures or destroying worlds!" From there, Daiki and Hime transformed into Diend and Princess. Narutaki cannot contain his wrath any longer. "Attack, Ryuga! KILL THEM!" The black Rider dashed towards the blue heroes. Readying themselves, they engaged against the evil version of Ryuki.
Chaos ensues around the mall. Everyone in the vicinity evacuated the premises, so there will be no causalities while the battle was underway. Even Sora had to evacuate to a nearby bento shop. Meanwhile in the mall, Ryuga tried his best use Sword Vents and Advents, and even a Final Vent, to hit the two heroes, but they both dodged the attacks. Using Rider cards and shooting blue energy orbs, Ryuga was finally defeated. Narutaki just laughed. "Don't say that you two won so easily." Diend and Princess were confused about what he said. But now, they understood, as Ryuga exploded into purple flames. From the purple flames, a clown-faced monster has risen. "Behold! I introduce you two to the King of Darkness, Pierrot-sama!", yelled Narutaki. "And now, you will feel the true extent of my anger!" The two heroes were frozen in fear, as Pierrot charged up a beam of darkness. They didn't have the time to react, and then, the beam hit them with the heroes screaming in pain. An explosion occurred afterward, destroying the mall in the process.
After the explosion, Narutaki looked at the hole where two bodies are lying in the ground, motionless. "I…I did it…" He raised a fist in the air. "YES! I've defeated Diend and his precious wife!" While the brown-clad man was laughing in victory, Sora looked at the hole. Narutaki stopped laughing. "Come on, Pierrot-sama! Next up, Decade!" Just when he turned around, he heard a voice. "So! You defeated Diend and his precious wife, huh?" Narutaki then turned back, seeing a sky blue-haired girl on the other side of the hole produced by the beam. "You forgot to kill their daughter!", she said as pointed to herself. "What? Where were you?", asked Narutaki. "None of your business, old man!", exclaimed Sora. "What did just call me?" The girl then slowly approached the dead people that were her parents. "Old man! What else can I call you, then?" Narutaki clenched another fist. "You should respect us adults! You didn't learn any manners, eh 'princess'?" "I did!", she said as she grabbed her father's Diend Driver and Rider cards. "But sometimes, some manners are meant to be broken. In this case, for villains like you!" "Me? A villain? But I'm doing this to protect the world! For a good cause!", yelled Narutaki. Sora pointed at Pierrot. "You call THAT a good cause?", she asked as she grabbed her mother's mirror and cards. "Of course! How else would I protect the world from evil beings like Decade?" Sora closed her eyes. "I've known Juu-chan for a long time. She told me her father is no destroyer of worlds. How else would he be best friends with all the Riders from the nine worlds, especially Kuuga?" "But…but…what are doing?", asked a confused Narutaki. Sora opened the Diend Blaster. "I may be a princess…" She held out her hand and magically produced three mysterious PreCards. "...but I'm also the daughter of the former Shadow Thief and the queen of the Blue Sky Kingdom! The daughter of two of the greatest people a girl has ever known!" She inserted the henshin Rider cards into the gun and placed the PreChanMirror on her hip, magically sealing in a little, purse-like bag. "You may call me…" She closed her gun. It spoke "CURE RIDE", did its familiar alarm-like sound when cards are inserted in it, and she pointed it to the sky. "…The Shadow Princess!" She pulled the trigger, and the gun shouted "SKY!"
A beam of light got shot out of the gun, went really high, then it went back down, and it hit Sora, blinding both Narutaki and Pierrot. After the henshin sequence, the light died down. Narutaki looked at what's in front of him with an open jaw. Is that Cure Princess? No, it couldn't be. She does not have some of Diend's elements on the outfit, nor a ponytail. He wiped his eyes and saw the Pretty Cure-Kamen Rider hybrid. "Did you just…combine your parents' powers?" The new hero emerged a smile. "Yes, I did." She leaped from the hole and landed gracefully in front of Narutaki. "You may call me Cure Sky!" She pointed her gun at Pierrot. "And now, nobody shall stand in my way!" She started shooting at the clown monster, and he roared in pain. "No! Pierrot-sama!", yelled Narutaki. "Now, to finish you off", said Sky. She produced magical wings and flew to the monster's face. She grabbed a yellow Rider card, inserted it into her gun, and closed it. "FINAL ATTACK CURE RIDE. S-S-S-SKY!" She pointed it to Pierrot's nose, and a row of illusionary cards acts as the reticle. "Sayonara." A huge white and sky-blue beam was shot from the Driver, purifying and destroying the monster. Pierrot took so much damage, he roared as loud as his lungs could muster, fell down, and exploded. Narutaki pointed at the new "Cure Rider". "Listen and mark my words, young lady! I will be back, but don't expect any mercy the next time we meet!" He opened a dimensional rift, went in, and disappeared.
A few days after the mall incident, Sora was crowned the new queen of the Blue Sky Kingdom. When not discussing politics, or making speeches, or such, she sits on her throne, looking at her blue and black gun; a memento left by her father. Then she looked at her pink mirror; a memento left by her mother. Already, she's been missing them. Can she see them once again? She gripped tightly on the two henshin items, as she walked quickly through the castle halls, remembering something that her mother told her when she was seven.
The castle basement was the location of her answer. At the center was a lone mirror covered by a tarp. Sora pulled out the tarp to reveal a dusty mirror. It looks like your ordinary medieval mirror, but after saying the number "2014", the reflection was replaced by a spiral of many colors. You guessed it: it's a magical time-travel mirror. Sighing, she stepped into the mirror, never to be seen again by the residents of the Blue Sky Kingdom.
When she went to the past, Hime was still a princess, and Daiki was still interested in stealing treasures. After they discovered that they're parents in the future Sora's in, they can't believe it. A thief? Married to a Pretty Cure? Impossible! Eventually, these two would fight each other to the death. Seeing them clash in an epic battle, Juu would approach Sora, and ask her, "This again?" "Yep", said Sora. And so, the two transformed into Cure Ten and Cure Sky, hoping for them to do whatever it takes for them to stop fighting. All in all, she was still happy to see her parents again.
