It has been a few days since Shadow Drag destroyed Shadow Shark, and no Shadow Beast King has attacked. At Ichigo's school a festival was underway.
"Hey Ichigo, is Mint really going to sing at the end of the festival?" asked Moe as they stud on the stage.
"Yeah, I asked her to do it days ago, the talent show is for anyone who wants in after all," said Ichigo.
"Actually all of the Mew Mews are going to be in it," said Masaya as he walked up.
"In that case, what are you going to do, Ichigo?" asked Miwa.
"Whatever it is better not get her cat instincts going," said Kasai as he through knives at targets.
"Actually I'm going to dance," said Ichigo as she looked at him with a tad bit of anger on her face.
"We have never seen you dance before," said Moe.
"Do you want to see a preview?" asked Ichigo.
"Sure," said Moe. Ichigo then turned on a boom box and started to dance. When she was finished everyone clapped for her.
"Not bad," said Kasai.
"And here I had a bad feeling," said Masaya with a surprised face.
"Thanks guys," said Ichigo with a smile.
"You might have been good, but I'm better," said Ichia as she walked up to her.
"Then let's see what you got," said Ichigo. When Ichia started to dance she was all over the place, after a few seconds she fell off the stage face first.
"Ouch," said Ichia in a low voice.
"Ichia, are you alright?" asked Ichigo as she jumped off the stage along with the others to make sure she was okay.
"I'm fin, ouch!" said Ichia as she stud up then fell back down.
"What's wrong?" asked Ichigo with a worried voice.
"I think I sprung my ankle," said Ichia as she held her right ankle with both her hands.
"Guess that means you can't be in the show," said Moe.
"Well, I'll get her to the nurce," said Kasai as he picked Icha up, then walked away. Later that night at the school, Ichigo was waiting outside the gate.
"Hey Ichigo, we're here," said Masaya as he and the others walked up.
"Hey guys," said Ichigo with a smile.
"So, when does the show start?" asked Lettuce.
"It starts at nine, so we have till then to look at the booths," said Ichigo as she looked at her watch, which read 7:30 on it.
"Pudding wants to get cotton candy," said Pudding with a happy face.
"Sure Pudding, we'll get some cotton candy," said Ichigo. And so, until the time of the show, they went around to all of the booths and had a great time.
"I can't believe Pudding won that fish," said Ichigo as they all stud back stage waiting.
"I think I'll call him Bany," said Pudding as she held up a tiny yellow fish that was in a plastic bag filled with water.
Hey Pudding, since you're up first I'll watch him for you," said Ichigo.
"Thanks Ichigo," said Pudding as she handed her Bany. Pudding then went to get ready.
"Alright everyone, it's time for the talent show to begin," said a male voice over the speakers on the stage.
"Give a round of applause for Pudding Fong," said the voice. She then came out on to the stage on a big rubber ball while she spun several plates on sticks.
"Whoa," said the crowed as they watched and cheered for her. When Pudding was finished she jumped off the ball and let all of the plates fall as she coot them with her head.
"Ta da," said Pudding with a bowl after taking the plates off her head. The crowed then stud up and cheered for her. When she went backstage she noticed that everyone had a smile on their faces.
"What is it guys?" she asked as she came closer.
"Someone's here to see you," said Ichigo.
"Who?" asked Pudding with a confused face.
"Long time no see," said Ron Yuebin as he walked into her line of sight.
"Ron!" said Pudding as she ran up and hugged him.
"Looks like you missed him," said Mint.
"Yeah, by the way how is my dad?" asked Pudding.
"He's fine, and training as hard as ever," said Ron.
"Well I'm up next," said Ichigo.
"Good luck," said everyone. As time went on, everyone had fun at the talent show, including Zakuro who did a duet with Momoka, the girl she had saved from Kishu at the river.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, the last contestant for today, Mint Aizawa will be singing a song she wrote herself," said the voice. Mint then took the stage.
"Thank you for coming out here tonight, I wrote this song for my friends and brother, so I hope you like it," said Mint as she stud in front of a microphone. But before she could sing a sonic screech hit everyone in the crowed and staging area.
"What's happening?!" asked Lettuce over the screech.
"It's Shadow Canary, she's the loudest of the Shadow Beast Kings with her sonic scream!" said Kasai. The screeching then suddenly stopped.
"Let's not waist time," said Ichigo. All of the Mew Mews then transformed and ran out onto the stage.
"Are you alright Mint?" asked Ichigo as she ran up to her.
"I'll be ok, but what happened?" asked Mint as she stud up.
"A Shadow Beast King just attacked us, you might want to transform," said Phoenix.
"Right, Mew Mew Mint, Ibong, Metamorphosis!" said Mint. When she was finished transforming, Shadow Canary, who was a humanoid bird, landed on the stage.
"So you're a bird too," said Shadow Canary.
"Yeah I am, and I'm not going to let you ruin the show," said Mint.
"Try and stop me," said Shadow Canary before she used her screech again.
"Ow!" said everyone as they grabbed their ears in pain.
"It's worse the closer she is," said Pudding.
"We need a way to cancel her out," said Zakuro.
"Mint can, her blue lorikeet DNA makes it show she can sing at high frequencies," said Kasai.
"I've never done that before, but I will give it a try," said Mint. She then closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and let out a sweet low sound that stopped Shadow Canary's attack from reaching them.
"That's better, Griffin Claws, Dark Ribbon Feather Slash!" said Ichigo.
"Centaur Bow!" said Blue Knight. When the two attacks hit Shadow Canary, they caused her to be blown back in a cloud of smoke.
"Did that do it?" asked Mint as they watched the smoke settle. When it cleared they saw Shadow Drag standing there all alone.
"Thanks Mew Mews," said Shadow Drag as he vanished.
"He took another one," said Kasai as they all transformed back to their normal forms.
"Looks like I don't get to sing," said Mint with a sad face.
"What are you talking about Mint, don't you all still want to hear Mint's song?" asked Ichigo as she turned to the crowed who in return cheered as lowed as they could.
"Can't let your audience down," said Zakuro. As Mint took her place, the others left the stage. When Mint started to sing everyone seemed to have forgotten about what had happened just a moment ago with the enemy as they let her sweet voice drown away their sorrows. When she was finished, everyone gave her a standing ovation. And at the end of the show she was awarded first place. Meanwhile at the Shadow Beast Castle, Shadow Drag was talking with Shadow Mintacor.
"Did the plan go as we thought?" asked Shadow Mintacor.
"Yes sir it did, Shadow Canary is now an armor plate along with the others," said Shadow Drag.
"Good, then the master plan is set for tomorrow, now leave so I can prepare," said Shadow Mintacor.
"Yes sir," said Shadow Drag with a slight bow before he walked away.
"Only there will be one change, it will be my plan, not his that goes into effect tomorrow," thought Shadow Drag to himself with a smile as he walked down the hall.
