AN INCREDIBLE OPPONENT: THE CORRUPTED GUARDIAN, CURE GREY

After doing the Instant Transmission attached to Shonenji, they arrived into an enclosed space: a hotel's hallway. It surely was the strangest place they had arrived at, that is for sure. Linda was thankful that they could rest the night in there, but at the expense of the characters they were fated to meet... after scolding her for such a unsuitable attitude, the Genderiel of Shonen tried sensing nearby loli energy. Mike sat down on a chair, he was exhausted. The lass whined about having to use a physical and direct approach, that was not her style. They witnessed how some black clouds covered the sky...

MIKE: Those clouds don't bode anything good... by the way, I like the repainting you did to my truck.

LINDA: I do what I can. (^_^) Mahorita will be shocked when she sees I now have two transformations.

MIKE: Do you really dislike fighting close? You did a good performance against those past villains...

LINDA: It isn't like me... I know I don't remember anything, but I don't feel it is really necessary, it only causes pain. The Genderiel that blessed me knows it well, the magical girls follow a different ruleset... and they accomplish the same, right?

MIKE: I can't argue with that. (ears spring) Huh? I hear voices in the room next to ours.

(The stick the ears to the wall and yes, they can overhear someone monologuing about admiring others.)

VOICE: Although I was known as the 'Madonna', you always acted naturally towards me. It was amazing... I could say that I envied you. Deep below I wanted to be myself, just like you do. And that's why I came to this trip...

VOICE 2: I'm scared-popo. (VOICE 3: You're too loud-mepo!) (VOICE: Eh? Don't scare me, Misumi-san!)

LINDA: Sounds like a girl's voice. (MIKE: Indeed it is. I know where we are! Get a hold on yourself, dear!)

(The dark blob called Zakenna arrives, and as it is tradition, Nagisa exits the room, but the travellers enter.)

LINDA: She's older than I thought. (shine) Hey, this crystal's doing funny things again!

YUKA: *awakens* Eh? (0_0) Who are you? And why do I feel tremors out in the front yard?

MIKE: Yowsers! It seems we have messed up this plot. (LINDA: Can it be fixed?) I can not know for sure...

YUKA: (checks) What in blazes is that? (CURES: Spark!) As Misumi-san would put it: It's un-believable!

(All of a sudden starts the op song, 'Danzen: Futari Wa Pretty Cure', the Max Heart version.)

YUKA: It's impossible to believe... this looks just out of a child's cartoon... those two are... they're magical!

MIKE: Yuka-sempai. (YUKA: Huh?) Don't ask me why I know your name, but if you pay close attention to us all this matter will be easier to digest. Fate wanted us to arrive here, and to make you witness that scene...

LINDA: Truth be told, we too have some kind of powers. And our own magical quest...

YUKA: Let me get this straight... (x_x) You say that you're superheroes or something, and those two, Misumi and Yukihiro, are too... possibly since a lot of time ago... Agh, I knew something was going on! I must talk to them!

MIKE: Nooo, you better lay this matter low until you return to the city! Now would be very bad timing.

LINDA: Yeah, according to Mike, he knows your world and you weren't supposed to learn their identities.

YUKA: Then if you hadn't come to this world –are you aliens or else?- I would have never figured out about those devilish creatures and that they protect us from them with magics... but how? And why just me?

LINDA: See, this crystal was infused with weird magic and sometimes it causes very... weird effects.

MIKE: The fact that it kept you awake during the Zakenna's attack shows that you will be important later...

YUKA: Look, let's do this: tomorrow I am returning home on my limousine. You stay in my room for now and I will carry you back. There, we will ask Misumi and Yukihiro for a GOOD explanation, when we are all together.

(They stay the night hidden within her room, and they leave the hotel first thing in the morning, when no one is watching. They board the limousine and after a quick briefing to her chauffer the Madonna is lost in her own thoughts.)

YUKA: So that was why... Misumi, you always were high-spirited, even in the hopeless moments... now I know why: having such responsibility, and keeping it a secret... didn't depress you, but left you with a feel of satisfaction and accomplishment that I've always envied... well, let's see what will happen next! (^_^)

LINDA: Yuka is all fired up. (0_0) Maybe she was waiting all her life... for something that could break the monotony, like me and Mike. Now we have to see what those Nagisa and Honoka girls think about this... at least they look reasonable.

(Just as promised, their senior Odajima invites the other two to her house, much alike Grandma Yukihiro's.)

NAGISA: Erm, tell me again why are we here. (HONOKA: Yuka said about having us meet her friends.)

YUKA: Ah, welcome. We must talk about serious business, but perhaps they would be the best choice to break the ice... they are Mike and Linda-san, and they are, for lack of a better word, heroes. Just like you, girls, in a certain way.

NAGISA: Wha? Wait, say again. Are they super heroes, like the masked ones Ryouta watches on TV?

HONOKA: You've just said that we are, too. What is your basis, or proofs? We didn't do anything weird.

YUKA: (¬_¬) Ah, Yukihiro-san, you're always so calm. But you can't deny it: I caught you hard at work.

NAGISA: And how? The Zakenna is supposed to put to sleep every person who has no Power of Light and...!

(After her close friend facepalms, HARD, the sports girl dones a stupid looking face.)

NAGISA: Ops... looks like I let the dog outta the bag. (HONOKA: It's the 'cat'... and yes, you DID...)

LINDA: Answering your question, this crystal I had stuck (THEM: What!) Calm down girls, it doesn't hurt... as I was saying this crystal emitted a strange light and awakened your friend here, as well as more side-effects we can't expect yet...

YUKA: Hum, perhaps this thing that landed in my purse last night is also here because of your interference.

NAGISA: Wait a sec! (looks) The design is identical to...! (HONOKA: To a resident of the Garden of Light!)

(In that very moment, the alluded creatures jump out of the two schoolmates' pockets.)

MEPPLE: I know who he is-mepo! (NAGISA: Mepple!) It doesn't matter, silly, they've busted us already-mepo.

MIPPLE: We could use another Emissary-mipo. If he is from the Garden of Light he'll be trustworthy-mipo.

YUKA: Who are they? (HONOKA: Hush, how rude of them... they're the hero Mepple and Princess Mipple.)

MEPPLE: As I was saying-mepo, this one is an old colleague of mine-mepo: he's called Topple-mepo!

MIPPLE: Ah, yes, I remember-mipo... both were fierce rivals, they always were arguing over silly things-mipo.

YUKA: Erm, tell me: how can we awaken him? (HONOKA: Dunno... Mipple was fast asleep for 100 years.)

LINDA: (0_0) That's an awful lot of time. (MIKE: Why don't ya use the crystal?) True, it could work!

(She does so, although she doesn't want to overheat the Genderiel's stolen power. The alluded one awakens.)

TOPPLE: Hey, looks like it's already daytime-topo... and who are these babes-topo?

MEPPLE: Show some respect-mepo! These two are the legendary Emissaries of Light from our Garden-mepo.

HONOKA: But if you are here, it must mean that Yuka-sempai is gonna be one too!

YUKA: *sigh* I was already expecting it... (TOPPLE: Glad to work along you-topo! And with Mipple too-topo.)

HONOKA: Now that this is all cleared, why don't these foreigners tell us who they are and what they want?

NAGISA: Yeah, that! They owe us a reason on why they busted our secret! (LINDA: Aw, it's no big deal...)

SHONENJI: Wait, I will explain them. (NAGISA: Another funny bugger?) Ahem, for now I will forgive you for that insolence. I am Shonenji, Genderiel of Shonen and he is Mike, a Knight of Lolicon. Our female friend is Linda, a witch trainee under the Maho Shojo Genderiel, Rita. We travel through the galaxies to gather loli energy and the five Genderiels, to send it to our Goddess and restore her to her rightful place as the all-ruler.

NAGISA: I got it, more or less, but what's a 'loli'? (MIKE: Bah, I was afraid they'll be asking for details...)

HONOKA: Lolicon, huh? That means 'the mental complex which makes adult men be attracted to underaged girls, in spite of, or even thanks to, their lack of physical sexual development'. It can turn into a pathologic case...

YUKA: You have a quite bad habit, Miss Wiki-hiro. (¬_¬) Don't try to question every statement they make!

HONOKA: Sorry, I know I must look like a know-it-all... one could say it's ME the one she doesn't like...

NAGISA: What did she say about patho-whats-it? (SHONENJI: She means it can turn into a kind of virus.)

MIKE: And because that we have our own recurring villain! He follows us everywhere, he wants to kidnap lolis to turn them into his brides or else. Arg, he's the worst case of 'lolicon as a virus'! I hate him with a passion!

LINDA: Keep your cool, boy, you will get a bellyache... (MIKE: Sorry, it's just that I can't stand him.)

SHONENJI: It's because of him that we can't stay idle much time. The villain Xig-lem could find the 'underaged girl, of great innocence and childish beauty' before we do and hypnotize her to join the ranks of his sinister harem.

YUKA: And who could be? (MIPPLE: I only know of one that fits the description: our Queen-mipo!)

TOPPLE: Yay, then you already found the Queen's Body-topo! Surely she has to be a hot babe-topo.

MEPPLE: Grrr! (¬_¬) This guy just never learns-mepo... (MIPPLE: Please do it-mipo.)

(As this is the best clue they have, they opt to go to Akane's cafe to check on their queenie.)

HIKARI: Welcome to the Tako Café. Hum? If it isn't Odajima-sempai! We haven't seen her since that trip...

HONOKA: Akane! Can you give us a separated table? We want to discuss something in private, please.

AKANE: Yeah, right, I am sure you will be talking about boys... so have Nagisa stay to take your orders. That way you'll have ample time to gossip about that Fuji-P guy and her... (NAGISA: Hey, I heard you!)

(But she obeys, and now that their table's average IQ has risen, the discussion can start.)

HIKARI: Then, Yuka-sempai has also been granted Precure powers from Topple, right?

YUKA: Right, Kujou-san. (^_^) I always looked for something that could give sense to my perfected idol's lifestyle, but the cynical inside me didn't even let me search for it... now I will be an example to follow, but in a totally different way!

NAGISA: (eats) Here are yours. You know, about what you said... Natsuko and Kyoko already tried that.

HONOKA: Yes, after discovering the existence of the Pretty Cure, they organized their own stunt show in the park, to amaze the kids, with costumes that copied ours down to the most ridiculous details. At least they taught them to wash their hands and such...

HIKARI: My, I didn't know about that... and their story about some 'Genderiels', they look awfully similar to my own Heartiels, don't they? (TOPPLE: Ha ha, now that I'm here, the Dotsuku creeps will turn tail before even making a move-topo!)

MEPPLE: (¬_¬) Don't think so high of you, newcomer-mepo. (MIPPLE: I feel a dark aura-mipo!)

TOPPLE: Our princess is right-topo! There's something frightful coming this way-topo!

(Everyone stands up at the sight of the dark cloud covering the park, but today Zakenna appears by itself.)

MIKE: What the heck? (?_?) Aren't King Haaku's mooks supposed to come along with that monster?

YUKA: We aren't gonna stop to check it! (NAGISA: (^_^) Yuka-sempai, you're fired up!) Well of course, I'm the best at whatever I do, remember? And I'm not going to be the exception in this planet-defending business, Misumi-san!

LINDA: As I know, you need to hold hands to start the transformation... but where does Yuka fit in, girls?

NAGISA: Whoops, it's true... (0_0) Maybe if we stand in a circle... are you ok with it?

HONOKA: It's the only way, we will transform in a triangle fashion. What do we need to recite, I wonder?

TOPPLE: Heya, babes, just call your Aurora power-topo! This is gonna be a great show-topo!

(They immediately understand the clue, and the trio holds hands in a circle, while the other heroes wait.)

THEM: Great Aurora Wave! (fluuumsssh!) (MIKE: We have a good one ahead of us!)

After the customary sequence, where they now are three, Black and White do the usual pose and Yuka lands between them, kneeled down. Her Precure dress has bits and parts from her new workmates, sprinkled here and there.

NAGISA: Emissary of Ligh, Cure Black! (HONOKA: Emissary of Ligh, Cure White!)

YUKA: Emissary of Light, Cure Grey! (MIKE: I don't know why, but I was expecting such name to pop up.)

CURES: Servants of the dark power! / You have no chance! / Return to the darkness from which you came!

ZAKENNA: (controls statue) Zake-na! (LINDA: This is atrocious...! Do something!)

HIKARI: Count me in! (PORUM: Let's get them-popo.) Luminous: Shining Stream!

(The blondie transforms too, and the foreigners as well as Yuka can't understand why.)

HIKARI: Sparkling Life: Shiny Luminous! Heart of Light and Wills of Light, for them to become one!

HONOKA: Luminous, why are you taking so many risks? They can't capture you now!

HIKARI: Odajima-sempai moved me with her speech... she is facing her new duty with resolve and bravery...

YUKA: You said it, Kujou-san. Being a Pretty Cure is something to be proud of! (NAGISA: How bold...)

(Then they start beating on the monster, and the blondie is eager to support her friends. Mike convinces his sidekick that is better to not intervene. The statue attacks them as a true medieval Black Knight, slashing away.)

ZAKENNA: (raaas!) Zake-na! (HONOKA: We almost have him. Grey, let's get this over with!)

HIKARI: I will help. Wills of Light give me courage! Be my hope and strength! (baton) Luminous Heartiel Action!

ZAKENNA: *paralized* Zake... naaa! (NAGISA: Come on Grey, let's see how it handles this!)

(The newcomer jumps on the others' shoulders, they're gonna fire a three-beam version of the Marble Screw.)

YUKA: (arms up) Black Thunder... White Thunder! *thunder strikes*

HONOKA: Our beautiful Precure souls...! (NAGISA: Shall crush your evil heart!)

THEM: (hands forward) Pretty Cure DELTA Screw! (bzzz!) MAX! *fire da lazor*

(Total an utter annihilation of the dark monster, not far they can hear a slow, sarcastic applause...)

VOICE: I should have guessed it won't be a match for you... those demons are, like, your daily chore, right?

NAGISA: (?_?) Who is he? (MIKE: Arg, it's HIM! That good-for-nothing kidnapper!)

HONOKA: So he finally appears. How did he control the Zakenna while not being King Haaku's servant?

MIKE: This guy is no joke... he can do that and much more, if he ever wanted to...

XIGLEM: Thanks for the moral support, knightie. Now they know just what they will be facing today.

LINDA: Girls, call upon the Powers of Hope! You can't allow yourselves to play fair with this guy!

HONOKA: *closed eyes* Before our eyes, the Hope... (NAGISA: Into our hands, the power of Hope.)

(So, the Sparkle Bracelets arrive there, as Yuka has none of her own, she will have to sit out of this one.)

CURES: Black Thunder! / White Thunder! (and all that jazz) Pretty Cure Marble Screw!

(The beam is fired with the usual potency, but the blinding light doesn't allow them to see the evil dude.)

YUKA: I can't see further than my nose... but keep at it, he won't be able to withstand such a great move!

CURES: (bzzzz!) Sparkle! *bigger beam* (XIGLEM: Again, they do just as I planned...)

(The Shadow Mirror eats the fulgurating beam, and seconds later spits it out with many times its power.)

HIKARI: Noooo! (CURES: He bounced back the Marble Screw...! AAAARG! (MIKE: Dang it, I forgot!)

(The boy regrets not having warned the magical warriors about his enemy's dirty trick, and now the attack has ruined a big chunk of the park, and their own bodies too... now the villain approaches Luminous with bloody eyes.)

XIGLEM: I love when plans are successful. (grabs) When my mirror charges its dark energy you will be my new doll... Luminous. And just to be sure, I'll be grabbing your new recruit too. Smell ya later, suckers!

HIKARI: No... you can't... *coughs* have your way... someone so evil and selfish... *faint*

MIKE: Let her go, you bastard! COSMO BREAK! (LINDA: Dawn Rosary Action!)

(But the hidden Shojonoe blocks the lasso destined to tie up the ugly guy, and therefore the sword tech fails.)

SHOJONOE: Don't forget about me, fools. I won't let you catch Lord Xig-lem just like that.

(In the end he escapes, and leaves the good guys with two casualties and two injured... what a mess.)

LINDA: I am gonna heal them... it's the least I can do to help. Yomitama! *healing*

MIKE: Eh, another bead is shining... maybe it was because of the Delta Screw's force.

LINDA: Indeed. (^_^) I can feel its power, it's the bead of Thunder, 'Gekitama'! Yay!

HONOKA: This is disastrous... that villain took away both Luminous and Cure Grey...

NAGISA: The worst part is what we can tell to Akane about her... and to Yuka's parents.

MIPPLE: The dark cloud is dissolving-mipo. The park's zone should be returning to its normal form-mipo...

MEPPLE: Grrr, Topple was an arrogant moron-mepo, but I can't just abandon him-mepo!

SHONENJI: We can't give up on the pigtailed girl either, I realized she has the lolicon essence.

MIKE: Why didn't you tell us before?! (SHONENJI: It's hard to sense such energies in the midst of battle!)

LINDA: Girls, we want to compensate you for this mess... because of us Odajima-san has been cast into a quest far too big for her. If we hadn't appeared in her life, perhaps she would be safe now. I can't think of a way to fix the damage...

HONOKA: Forget it for now. We must check if the park or Akane's café had suffered any side-damage.

(They return there, looks like the villains acts didn't break anything. They ask about the blonde's whereabouts.)

NAGISA: Akane, don't you miss something, or someone? I thought you told Hikari to do some shopping.

AKANE: Hum? (?_?) Who is 'Hikari'? If she's a friend of yours, surely you didn't introduce her to me..

HONOKA: Never mind! (0_0) We are in a hurry! (leaving) How is it possible? Hikari is gone from her mind!

SEEKUN: (enters) I think I know what's going on. (ALL: Seekun!) Our queen arrived to the Garden of Rainbows taking the shape of one of its residents. That created some modified memories in the brains of the people who had contact with her.

NAGISA: Ah, I get it now... the void created because of her disappearance has wiped their brains clean of the memories related to Hikari. It's like she never existed! That is why Akane has a very selective analgesia, of course.

HONOKA: It's called 'amnesia'. But that makes sense. Now we need to check what happened with Yuka.

(They go to the manor where she called them for a meeting, all alarmed. The butler can not believe it.)

BUTLER: I hope this is not an ill-willed prank, girls. Odajima-ojousan has not moved from her room since you all left the first time this very morning. But well, I'll call her. Ojousan! Some people want to see you!

(Incredibly, the Madonna appears in the hallway with the calmest face in the world...)

ALL: (0_0) But how... (YUKA: What's up? You look like you saw a ghost or else.)

NAGISA: Yuka-san! *tear rivers* I am so glad you were safe all along! (hugs her)

YUKA: Calm down Misumi. I am glad too, that you wanted to visit me. Without you, this life is a dump!

HONOKA: Let me speak with her. Let's see, Odajima-san: When was the last time you knew of us all?

YUKA: Why the rude tone, Yukihiro? (¬_¬) It was this morning, when you visited me to introduce them, Mike and Linda. (HONOKA: Wouldn't it be the other way around?) Of course not, I would remember it! I always remember everything, I'm a Madonna!

NAGISA: This will sound ridiculous, but have you seen Topple anywhere? It's small, and big headed...

YUKA: What's that about? Ah, yes, maybe it's one of your plushies. I was told you like them, Misumi. How cute. (^_^) By the way, I wanted to give you something next time you came to my house. It is a very expensive gift, so please accept it!

(All in all, the rich girl gives her a ticket for the Angel Land amusement park, the one we know very well.)

NAGISA: Whoa, it's a special course valid all day long. It surely had to be expensive...

YUKA: I want us to spend all day together. I want to know more about you, because you made me happy...

LINDA: Then you are going on a date? (HONOKA: What!) Ops, sorry, I meant in a non romantic way...

YUKA: You are feeding me up with your comments, Yukihiro. (¬_¬) But the date can be whatever she pleases. She is the person I love the most in this world! (^_^) But if you already have a boy waiting for you, I'll have to step out... I only want to be your friend.

NAGISA: *sweatdrop* No, I don't really have anyone... (YUKA: Better yet, men are a nuisance after all.)

(After clearing his throat, Mike asks to check the ticket. Nagisa gives it to him and then he ponders...)

MIKE: Well, it says that the main ride starts in the park's central square at 13:37 PM.

LINDA: EH! (0_0) We know what it means! This is the exact time always chosen by...!

MIKE: Psss, be quiet... okay Odajima-san, we don't want to cause anymore trouble, so if you excuse us...

(They leave the place in a quite upset mood, ones for different reasons than the others. So they explain.)

HONOKA: So you did notice something weird too. I suspected it, that she was acting anything but normal.

NAGISA: And why? The poor girl is very kind, when you get to know her. Although she was a bit rude to Honoka.

MIKE: Precisely that's why she looked weird. Yuka didn't remember about Topple or the Pretty Cure. She was acting very sugary to you and very rude towards Yukihiro-san. And the date in the park is at a time we know very well...

LINDA: It's the time Xig-lem always chose to launch his attacks! Arg, I finally said it.

HONOKA: Can't you see it, Nagisa? That attitude wasn't exactly usual on the cynical Yuka. Be careful.

MIPPLE: If we attend the date we could find Topple too-mipo! (MEPPLE: At least it's worth a shot-mepo.)

NAGISA: This is incredible... (x_x) This will be, like, the fourth time? That something happens in that park...

MIKE: The moment Xig-lem rears his ugly head we will be there to save Luminous and Topple, worry not.

The date's time arrives but on this occasion they were pretty hurried to get things ready. They brought some of Akane's yakis to calm the hunger and then jumped the fence a la Mortadelo & Filemon. Nagisa was already worrying.

NAGISA: I feel bad knowing this is not the real Yuka... poor girl is happy just for being here with me. Why can't she stay like this? Actually, this change would be an improvement, although if she recovers her Cure Grey powers she will have the same troubles as us... bah, the choice is difficult. Whatever I do, I'll surely mess up. I don't know! (x_x)

YUKA: Nagisa... I can call you that, right? Look, I want you to relax. I'm remembering the time I watched you and Yukihiro cleaning erasers... my brain was telling me it was a childish stupidity, but my heart wanted to jump and join the fun...

NAGISA: You did? Well, it was me who suggested the nursery rhymes... so don't hate Honoka, please!

YUKA: I don't care about her, only about you. I finally opened my eyes, I am going to enjoy my youth as I please, not as people want me to act. I have already left a good role example, now I want to live like you do. (NAGISA: She's CRAZY!)

(Certainly, someone who wants to be just like Nagisa is someone who needs help... and a great deal of help.)

NAGISA: Yes, well, look... the wheel's ride is over. Let's step out, we still have much park to explore.

YUKA: No. *zombie* You will be with me forever... you are the person just for me...

(The girl with the carrot hair suffers a slight heart attack, because her friend has a weird voice and the Dotsuku Zone's darkness covers the park facilities... just at the prescribed time. She slaps herself for not having remembered.)

NAGISA: Oh my gosh! Honoka and the others are awfully late! Boy, I am in fix!

XIGLEM: (arrives) Ah, I see you have been left alone, Misumi-san. You have very bad friends... thank goodness you still have Odajima-san, right? She truly adores you, as you have witnessed. I made her obey her heart, that's how she really is deep inside!

NAGISA: Wow heavy! (0_0) Then you didn't hypnotize her to turn her into your slave?

SHOJONOE: No way, young lady! Such honour was reserved for your dear Luminous. It's a fine specimen, ne?

(The fairy is carrying the blonde, still transformed. The fatigue doesn't let her speak.)

XIGLEM: Now that everything is clear, we'll leave you with your new bestest friend... enjoy her.

YUKA: Nagisa... I don't want you to leave me... don't leave me! Aurora Wave! (flumsh!)

(She has transformed by herself, but now his dress is grey and opaque like a rock... the genuine Cure Grey.)

ZAKENNA: (controls ferry wheel) Zake-na! (NAGISA: Ack, I feel she won't want to soft my way out of this...)

VOICE: It's 'smooth'! You almost got it! (NAGISA: Honoka! (^_^) I'm so glad to hear you correcting me!)

(Finally the rest of the team makes their entrance, about to finish eating some popsicles.)

MIKE: See? I told you we had time to buy them, even I we didn't eat them back there.

LINDA: Okay, now that you made the easy joke... (¬_¬) How about letting those two have a happy reunion?

HONOKA: (munches) Nom nom... ah, well. Are you too busy, or can I ask you to save Topple and Luminous?

NAGISA: I always have time for you. (^_^) Let's go together! Dual Aurora Wave!

MIKE: Linda, this battle we won't want to miss. Master Force! (LINDA: Do we ever! Magical change!)

(Now that the team has transformed, the lacrosse player feels like a kid who wears his old shoes again.)

NAGISA: I was starting to miss doing this. Now what? We have a lot of things to do...

MIKE: Let's do it this way: you deal with Grey while we try to free the two prisoners.

HONOKA: Sounds good, although we can't hit her as hard as we really wanted... (¬_¬)

YUKA: Get away from Nagisa, Yukihiro! From the start you've tried to steal her love, I won't let you!

HONOKA: (0_0) Looks like she did want the date to be romantic. She is crazy! (NAGISA: I figured out as much.)

(After a series of punches, kicks, karate moves and overall stuff only the Precures can do, the corrupted emissary jumps to a roof and starts preparing a devastating light ball. Let's see what she called it.)

YUKA: You just had to anger me, Honoka Yukihiro! You and the whole world, which doesn't want to understand what I feel for Nagisa! You don't leave me more options... than to blast you dead with the Pretty Cure Marble Bomb!

MEPPLE: How did she come up that-mepo? (MIPPLE: Look, there's Topple-mipo!)

(Aha, the bad guy has Mepple's rival firmly grasped, he is in his stuffed bear form.)

NAGISA: No, wait! (jumps) (hugs) I didn't want to do this... but you left me no choice.

(The brown-haired one feels moved –only a bit- by seeing Black stare at her... so White knocks her down.)

NAGISA: You could have been a good Pretty Cure... I wish we could start anew from the field trip's day...

YUKA: I only wanted to be with you... *tears* As common girls, or as magical ones, I don't care. Please...

NAGISA: (sobs) You should forget about me... for both's sake. Black Pulsar! (HONOKA: White Pulsar!)

(The special move they hadn't used for fifty episodes... will finally heal another heart.)

HONOKA: With the power of Light, we make the Darkness depart! (NAGISA: Break the chains that bind your heart!)

(And shouting 'Pretty Cure Raibow Therapy' the Madonna is freed from the hypnosis.)

NAGISA: One less to go... how are the others doing? (HONOKA: Gee, thanks for even remembering them.)

MIKE: The Zakenna is under control! (LINDA: Kazetama, blow a storm towards him!)

(The ferry wheel tumbles towards the Cures, and finish him with a quick Marble Screw.)

LINDA: It's falling down! (MIKE: The what?) The Marble Bomb is still in mid air... and is falling down!

(But two pearls jump out of the rosary at the same time, they gobble the black and white energy, one each.)

LINDA: Saved... *breaths* They're the Okatama and Yunetama, the Light and Shadow have acted together...

NAGISA: And that makes two. (^_^) We are doing fine! (XIGLEM: I doubt it, girlies! The Queen's Body is still the prize of this minigame. If you can't beat me, you won't save her nor this noisy stuffed bugger!

MIKE: We have to do it the other way around... Cosmo Break! (LINDA: Dawn Rosary Action!)

(This time the sword tech strikes before the rosary gets to the target, the bad guy has to let go of her prey.)

SHOJONOE: Ag! (trips) The redhead has snagged the queen and the annoying plushie!

HIKARI: Whew, was about time! Thanks Linda... Black, White, we must join forces!

BLACK: Abundant courage! (WHITE: Overflowing hope!) (SHINY: Together with the embrace of sparkling light!)

THEM: Extreme... Luminario! (XIGLEM: I can't stop that...! IIAAARG!) *twinkle*

(So be it, they have gotten rid of him once more. Misumi carries the one who was her secret admirer.)

TOPPLE: I can feel it-topo... this babe has forgotten about me-topo. Can't be helped, I will travel back home-topo.

NAGISA: Again we are just the two of us... I told her before, she could have made a good Pretty Cure.

HIKARI: Give my regards to the Garden of Light people. We'll work hard! But now I must help someone else.

(She does the loli-power pact with the boy, to help him in his quest for the Genderiels.)

HIKARI: If you could stay a bit more, I am sure you could help us with my Heartiels, but this is all I can do for your quest. It saddens me to see you leave... but we wish you the best of luck from here on. Is not it right?

PORUM: Agreed-popo! I was so scared-popo... (MEPPLE: That is because you are a scaredy cat-mepo.)

NAGISA: If we gather all Heartiels... what will be of Hikari? I'm not so sure... but now we have to be happy, everything returned to normal. (HONOKA: And now Nagisa will be commenting the episode... how cute.) (^_^)

MIKE: Till next time, Emissaries of Light! We will look for more lolis, and adventures!

(next episode's preview music starts.)

NAGISA: It's sooo hot, save meee! (HONOKA: Grandma asked me if I wanted to go on vacation...) Yes, I will go! It's cooler in a boat, or even in the water from the park! Look, your grandma and Hikari are having a good time...

HONOKA: The waves on the water make it look like a water slide...

BOTH: Together we are Pretty Cure! 'Hikari's summer day, Sanae's memories'.

NAGISA: Ah, to ride in a boat everyday... (HONOKA: I might go overboard! Nah, just kidding.)

MIKE: You stole her punchline! (LINDA: Just as you did theirs.) Ah, give me a week.
