A/N: I wanted to apologize to the many people who review or follow this series...I cannot apologize enough...and I hope this is an okay addition to this fic. A few things to note though before we start. The special movie that happened last chapter is currently Non-Canon to this story. If anybody wishes I'll delete it and upload it as a single one-shot chapter if needed. If not I'll leave it be. Second I'm looking for potential Beta-Readers who can help me in my future chapters.
Chapter 20!
Kanade's trouble with desire! The Healing Chest is missing?! Super GataKiriBa appears!
Having returned home from their little adventure into another universe, our young heroes were currently relaxing at the Lucky Spoon. The Cake shop of Kanade's family six cupcakes were out for the 5 heroes and Hummy who smiled hugely as Kanade smiled brightly.
"Enjoy the cakes everyone!" Kanade called out as Hibiki grinned hugely.
"Yah! Itadikamasu!" Hibiki cheered as she picked up her cupcake and began to eat it. Ryan chuckled softly as he took a decent bite of his own while Itsuko joined Hibiki in the ravenous devouring of his cake. Hummy doing the same thing, while Ellen ate quietly. Kanade faintly sweatdropped while sipping a cup of tea she had. Her own cupcake not touched yet.
"Now I think we should discuss some events that have happened.." Kanade said as Ryan nods.
"Yeah tell me about it...I still can't believe the Crescendo Tone made the Super TaToBa Medals.." Ryan said as he recalled the Medals that the Crescendo Tone created for him to use. Thankfully it's power was equal to Putotyra, allowing Ryan to fight the stronger enemies without the worry of going berserk. Which was good news for Ryan.
"Still, it does raise the question why that happened though?" Kanade said softly as Hibiki nods.
"Yeah but it's something we can figure out later, Ryan-san's got a power-up and so did we at the same time, I'd say Minor Land better watch out!" Hibiki said as Ellen silently nods.
"Well in any case, we also need to worry about Scorab whenever he decides to finally show himself!" Ryan said as the group all smile and nod.
"Together nothing can stop us!" Itsuko said as the group raised their cupcakes and take a bite or in Hibiki, Itsuko and Hummy's case, finished the last of their cupcakes off.
"Our power will always evolve so long as we have the desire in our hearts! Isn't that right?" Ryan asked as the group cheered a 'Yeah!' together.
"This is so wonderful-nya!" Hummy cheered while relaxing having enjoyed her cupcake as Kanade giggles softly and takes another bite into his own cupcake.
Ryan grinned softly as he takes a small sip of his own tea looking at the reflection as a brief flash of PuToTyra's helmet flashed on the water as Ryan's eyes widened faintly...he was still confused...why did PuToTyra go berserk...
"Well I think we should probably start heading for home soon," Hibiki said as they spotted the sky starting to turn orange. Itsuko nods with a grin as Kanade smiles softly.
"Yes I'll see you all tomorrow, luckily tomorrow is the weekend," Kanade said with a smile as the group all nod in agreement.
"Ryan-san, shall we get going?" Ellen asked as Ryan snapped out of his little thought process and looked at Ellen and smiles softly.
"Yeah sounds good to me," Ryan said as he finished his tea off and stood up.
"Besides I'm gonna have a quick read of that instruction manual that Kougami left me...maybe I can find something useful to upgrade my Birth Driver or the Birth Buster...I am a mechanic," Itsuko said as Hummy hopped into Hibiki's bag as Hibiki headed in one direction towards her home for the night. While Itsuko headed in his own direction to his home...while Ryan and Ellen took the other path as Kanade smiles softly.
"Well time to finish up my chores.." Kanade said softly as she heads inside...unaware of a black figure watching with glowing red eyes...smirking softly while holding what appeared to be a Cell Medal...Kanade sighed as she carried the trash and carried it to the back of the shop. Tossing it away and dusting her hands. "Okay a quick bath and then time to get ready for tomo..." Kanade began until the figure hidden from view tossed the cell medal and it entered the back of her head. "..rrow..." Kanade said as she shaked her head and sighed.
"I need to get up early and make some cupcakes for Hibiki and Ellen.." Kanade said as she wandered back inside her families shop and home...as the chuckling form of Scorab watched her go as nearby...a pair of unique glowing orbs began to form Black Hole's ethereal form floating beside the Greeed.
"Now then...let us see the Desires of the Pretty Cure.." Scorab smirked as he began walking away and fading into smoke...

[End Music]
The next day Hibiki calmly smiled as she walked through the streets of Kanon Town heading off for the lucky spoon. Since it was the weekend she figured she could squeeze in a quick fun cupcake run at Kanade's store before the pair went to find Ryan, Itsuko and Ellen and could either have some fun or continue looking for notes.
"Hmm I love those cupcakes," Hibiki cheered licking her lips softly as Hummy cheered from her hiding spot inside Hibiki's bag.
"Hmm yeah...Kanade's cupcakes are amazing," Hummy cheered as Hibiki smiles as she walked through the streets and coming up to Kanade's family run cake store. Hibiki opened the front door and stepped inside.
"Hello!" Hibiki greeted as she opened her eyes and sweatdropped seeing a rather large rows of cupcakes and the smell of more being baked.
"W-what the?" Hibiki said in surprise as Hummy's eyes sparkled as she saw the cupcakes and cheered.
"Yay! Kanade made so many cupcakes!" Hummy cheered.
"B-but she never makes this much...how long has she been making these?" Hibiki asked in shock.
"For the past few hours...by the time we woke up we found her baking cakes.." is heard as Hibiki turns to see Kanade's father and mother.
"She seemed to be out of it and only focuses on making cupcakes...nothing we say gets through to her...it's like she's in another world." Kanade's mother said in a worried tone as Hibiki carefully moves and enters the bakery part of the shop and looks inside and sees her.
"Kanade...?" Hibiki said in shock seeing her friend was whisking a new cake batter for the next batch of cupcakes. Kanade was covered in flour and batter as well. Mumbling some strange words while whisking that next batch of batter.
"What is going on here?" Hibiki whispered in shock as she approached.
"I need more flour...more sugar...where is the butter.." Kanade mumbled moving to a nearby fridge and looked inside.
"Gah! We're out of butter!" Kanade panicked.
"Kanade! Calm down!" Hibiki said as she grasped one of Kanade's shoulders.
"I can't calm down!" Kanade snapped turning to Hibiki with a rather strange possessed look in her eyes as Hibiki took a step back in shock.
"I need more butter if I wanna keep making my cakes...I need to make the perfect cake!" Kanade shouted as Hibiki sweatdropped as Hummy looked on worried while holding one of the cupcakes.
Unknown to any of them outside in the back of the shop a small gathering of about 5 eggs were still growing until one glowed and burst open revealing some kind of Yummy like monster with antenna of a Shrimp that twitched rapidly before it headed off into the city...it's host needed cake supplies...
"I see...right, we're on our way, Hibiki," Ryan said seriously, hanging up.
"What's up?" Itsuko asked while trying to degrease the oven at Asagi's restaurant.
"According to Hibiki, Kanade's gone ballistic in making cupcakes. I mean, she makes tons of cupcakes already, but not like this," Ryan pointed out.
"Sounds serious. Better get over there then," Itsuko decided, putting the hose down. After cleaning himself off real quick, the two rushed off towards the Lucky Spoon.
"So, what do you think is going on?" Itsuko asked as they ran along.
"Don't know. From what Hibiki said, it sounds like Kanade may have become host to a Yummy," Ryan grunted, of all times for this to happen.
"Seriously?! How did that happen?" Itsuko questioned as the two turned a corner heading towards the usual meeting place for the group involving Hero duties.
"Don't know. From the sounds of it, it sounds like one of Mezool's Yummies. But that can't be right, because I've been keeping an eye on our Cell Medals, and the Trio Minor's Yummies don't come out right compared to normal," Ryan wondered.
"'Mezool'?" Itsuko asked in confusion.
"Oh! Right, forgot about that. Mezool is the Greeed formed from the marine animal Core Medals," Ryan explained, bringing out the ShaUTa Medals as an example. "Typically, her Yummies intensify the desire in someone, rather than forcing them to carry it out like the cat-type Yummies do. They also tend to hang around as an egg sack that's invisible to the host, and one egg sack can form a lot of Yummies," Ryan elaborated on.
"Okay, but I thought Scorab was the only Greeed around here, so how could one of this Mezool's Yummies appear?" Itsuko asked skeptically.
"Don't know. Something to think about when we get over there," Ryan decided as the two boys rushed through the streets.
About 30 minutes later back at the old cathedral Hibiki, Hummy and Ellen had already arrived and were preparing to talk about what had been happening. But Itsuko and Ryan still hadn't arrived thanks to Fifteen's surprise attack.
"Where are those guys.." Hibiki said crossing her arms while Hummy and Ellen were waiting for Ryan and Itsuko to show up after Hibiki called them.
"Maybe they ran into some trouble?" Ellen asked with a worried tone in her voice.
"Hey!" Is heard as the two riders arrived on the scene looking a little bit winded as the pair panted.
"Ryan-san, Itsuko-san," Ellen said with a sigh of relief as Hibiki approached glancing at both of them.
"What happened? Asagi's shop isn't that far from here?" Hibiki asked as Ryan sighed.
"Sorry, we had to handle a few things before Asagi let us leave early...I swear that woman is a saint after all the times we gotta leave due to Hero stuff," Ryan said rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah, took us about 15 minutes to handle all of that. Sorry about the wait," Itsuko said as Hibiki nods her head softly.
"So anyway, what's the emergency?" Ryan asked.
"Right...for some reason Kanade has been going nuts...she's spent possibly the entire night making cakes if what her parents told me was true. She just recently ran out of butter and started freaking out...I tried to talk to her but she snapped at me like I was a stranger." Hibiki said in a worried tone of voice.
"Do you know what's going on Ryan-san?" Ellen asked as Hummy was chomping one of the cupcakes as Ryan sighed softly.
"Yeah, and it looks like Kanade's gotten affected by one of Mezool's type of yummy." Ryan said drawing surprised looks from Hibki, Ellen and Hummy.
"But the only ones with Mezools type of medals are Bassdrum and Minor Land..but they wouldn't something like this since they are so focused on gathering notes rather than destroying us unless we get in the way." Ryan continued.
"We need to go check on Kanade and fast," Itsuko said as Hibiki nods her head.
"Okay! Let's get going fast!" Hibiki said as she began dashing to the exit of the cathedral.
A few minutes later the two Riders and two Precure headed through the streets of Kanon town.
"We gotta get to the Lucky Spoon and quick...if it is a yummy then we got big trouble coming.." Ryan said as they began to turn a corner only to hear crashing noises and skidded to a stop.
"What in the...?" Itsuko gasped as they saw some kind of figure growling while holding what seemed to be tubs of butter or something?
The figure was armored in black armor with a pair of twitching tentacles and beady eyes could be seen along with many whisker like things on it's face as it growled faintly at the fleeing civilians before spitting out a liquid that hit a table...eating clear through the plastic table to the shock of Hibiki and Ellen.
"That's a Shrimp Yummy..." Ryan said in shock. "How is that possible! I thought Scorabs yummies were like Uva's!" Ryan spoke while bringing out the OOO Driver.
"Well we gotta stop it anyway!" Itsuko said bringing out his Birth Driver as the two riders attached their drivers while Hibiki and Ellen nodded and brought out their Cure Modules.
"Okay! Let's stop this thing quick and go help Kanade!" Hibiki declared as Dory entered her Cure Module while Lary entered Ellen's Cure Modules.
"Let's play! Precure, Modulation!" Hibiki and Ellen called out together while Ryan slots his three medals into his OOO Driver while Itsuko brings out a Cell medal.
"Henshin!" The pair declared as Ryan scanned across his Driver with the OOO Scanner while Itsuko turned the crank on the left side of the Birth Driver.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
TAKA!
TORA!
BATTA!
TA-TO-BA! TATOBA TA-TO-BA!
Hibiki and Ellen were covered in light and musical notes before they appeared as Cure Melody and Cure Beat while Ryan in a flash of Medals transformed into Kamen Rider OOO while Itsuko was covered by a Gachapon Pod as the armour of Kamen Rider Birth formed around him.
"Strumming the Wild Rhythm! Cure Melody!"
"Unlimited Medals! Kamen Rider Birth!"
"Strumming the Beat's Soul! Cure Beat!"
"Count up the Medals! Regret Nothing! Kamen Rider OOO!" OOO finished off the role call as the four rushed towards the Shrimp Yummy who's antenna twitched faintly before turning around.
"Take this!" Melody declared as she and Beat slammed a boot into the yummy's back sending it flying away as it crashes to the floor.
"Nice kick girls," Birth said as he aimed his Birth Buster and fired rapid shots at the Shrimp Yummy. Only for the Yummy to fire a spit of acid that blocked the bullets of the Birth Buster.
"Woah!" OOO exclaimed as he hopped away from the second acid barrage.
"Beat Sonic!" Beat called out as she summoned the Love Guitar Rod and strummed the strings launching multiple energy music notes like arrows towards the yummy crashing into it sending it stumbling back with Cell Medals landing on the floor.
"Nice shot Beat!" Melody cheered as she summoned the Miracle Belltier.
"Let's take care of this guy fast!" OOO said as he and Melody rushed towards the Yummy who was just getting back up.
Suddenly a loud clang was heard as Beat and Birth gasped as they saw the Miracle Belltier and OOO's tora claws being held off by the Crab like Armour on the arms of Scorab. The Black Greed appearing in a cloud of smoke out of nowhere.
"Ah...OOO, so nice to see you again.." Scorab chuckled before pushing Melody and OOO back the pair keeping their balance as they regrouped with Beat and Birth.
"Great just what we need..." OOO muttered as Scorab turned to the standing Yummy.
"Go, and continue to spread that Pretty Cures desire." Scorab said to the Yummy who nods before heading off with it's cargo still in it's arms.
"Hey! Get back here!" Birth said as he fired rapid shots at the yummy only for Scorab to swipe the cell medal shaped bullets out of the air with his claw.
"So sorry, but you have more important things to worry about.." Scorab chuckled as OOO narrowed his eyes behind his helmet.
"Melody...Beat," OOO spoke as the two Precure turned to their comrade. "You two go on ahead, chase after that Yummy and stop it before more show up! Birth and I can handle Scorab!" OOO said as Birth nods his head.
"You gotta help Kanade as well right now," Birth said as Melody and Beat glanced at each other and nods their heads softly.
"Okay. Be careful!" Melody said as the two Precure head around the fight and chase after the yummy.
"Surprised you didn't try to stop them..." OOO commented as he moved into a fighting pose as Scorab seemed to be smirking if the Greeed could.
"Oh, I'm not that bothered even if they catch up to that yummy...they'll be plenty more for them to try and stop.." Scorab chuckled softly before his pincers opened wide.
"For now...I'll have my fun with you!" Scorab yelled as he lunged forward as OOO brought out the Medajalibur and lunged forward while Birth fired rapid shots with the Birth Buster.
Scorab blocked the shots with one of his claws while he attempted to grab OOO with his other claw. OOO blocked with the Medajalibur before planting two boots into Scorab's chest and jumped backwards landing beside Birth.
"So any ideas?" Birth asked as he reloaded the Birth Buster.
"Not sure, we haven't really gone all out against this guy and he is strong...it would take Birthday form or one of my Full Combo's to beat him," OOO said as they notice a glob of acid coming towards them and jumped away avoiding Scorab who chuckled clenching his claws.
"This is gonna be fun.." He chuckled before charging towards them with his claws giving off a black energy..Birth glared as he fired rapid shots with his Birth Buster only for the blasts to bounce off Scorab's armour.
OOO quickly switched out two medals and scanned his belt quickly before charging to meet Scorab.
TAKA!
GORILLA!
WANI!
OOO swung his Heavy Gorilla Fists that collided with Scorab's claws leading to a power struggle between the pair. OOO quickly moved one leg up and kicked it onto Scorab's stomach causing the energy crocodile mouth to chomp down on the stomach causing sparks to fly as Scorab stumbled back only for get a Gorilla fist to the face sending him skidding back along the street.
OOO charged forward as his Taka helmet's lenses turned Red as he focused before going for a swing of his fist. Only for one of Scorab's pincers to clamp down on the fist. Followed by two kicks to OOO's stomach pushing him back.
OOO grits his teeth and quickly slots out the Gorilla and Wani medals and brings out the Kamakiri and Batta medals and quickly changed.
TAKA!
KAMAKIRI!
BATTA!
OOO spun the two curved blades in his hands and charged forward. Just as 5 energy blasts from Birth's Birth Buster fired at Scorab as he brought up his claws to block the blasts. OOO quickly scanned his belt as he lunged forward.
SCANNING CHARGE!
OOO lunged forward and went for a kick which pushed against Scorab's claws. OOO jumped over head and slashed his glowing Kamakiri swords onto the back of Scorab as the energy caused an explosion. Sending the Black Greed flying off and crashing into a wall.
Scorab grunts as he pushed himself up and glared at OOO who moved into a fighting stance.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
*DRILL ARM*
Scorab quickly turned just in time to block with one claw as sparks showered from the Drill Arm of Birth's digging in as Cell Medals began falling on the floor. Scorab quickly saw OOO charging forth with his Kamakiri Swords glowing bright before he grunts and moving his other claw as he grabbed Birth by the helmet and tossed him towards OOO. The two riders colliding and tumbling back as OOO's finisher faded out.
"Hah! Nice try fools!" Scorab laughed as his claws clenched before he sprayed a splash of acid towards the two riders as they both dodge rolled from the stream.
"Okay that didn't work...any ideas?" Birth grunts.
"I could go for a Full Combo and chase him off?" OOO asked.
"Not sure if that's wise man, we still got that Yummy to deal with," Birth said gripping his Drill Arm as he stood back up.
"Hmm well how about we at least go help the girls now." OOO said as he got out two different medals replacing the Taka and Batta Medals and scanned them in.
LION!
KAMAKIRI!
CHEETAH!
OOO clenched his fists as he looked at Scorab while Birth slotted in a Cell medal and turned the crank.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
*CUTTER WING*
OOO's helmet glowed brightly casting out a blinding light that forced Scorab to cover his eyes with a claw. "Let's go!" OOO said as he dashed down the street in a Yellowish blur while Birth flew after with the Cutter Wings jetpack.
The flash of light eventually faded as Scorab looked at the already distant Riders as he scoffed. "Another time then..." He growled. "If you don't fall to the yummies," He chuckles before vanishing into smoke.
Meanwhile Melody and Beat rapidly ran down the streets of Kanon Town spotting some small acid burns on piece of road as well as wrecked stores.
"This is bad..." Melody muttered before they heard another crash and saw the Yummy heading out holding alot more butter than before as it began running away.
"Hey get back here!" Beat called out as the two Precure chased after the Yummy. Who continued moving with impressive speed..turning it's head back and fired a glob of acid towards the two pretty cure.
"Beat Barrier!" Beat called out as she summoned her Love Guitar Rod and strummed the guitar as a barrier blocked the acid as Melody leaped overhead and slammed a foot onto the Yummies chest making it skid back across the street. Just as it felt a calling and turned it's head to see the Lucky Spoon and cooed in joy as it was nearing it's objective!
"Oh no! It's nearly back to Kanade!" Melody called in worry as they chased after the Yummy as it quickly ran towards it's nest where the two Precure could see many glowing eggs in the back of the cake shop.
"W-what are those things?" Beat asked in shock just as they saw one of the eggs glowing and vanished forming another Shrimp Yummy that looked around.
"Looks like eggs to me...we gotta stop them fast!" Melody said as the Yummy carrying that butter twitched it's antenna to the other one who nods and spits a glob of acid towards the two cures forcing them to dodge.
"Beat Sonic!" Beat called out as she strummed her guitar and launching many note like arrows towards the Yummies sending them stumbling back as Melody gripped her summoned Belltier.
"Come forth, Tone Ring! Precure Music Rondo!" Melody called out launching an Orange Ring that hit the two yummies both monsters exploded with Cell Medals littered all over as another egg glowed before forming another shrimp Yummy as Melody gritted her teeth.
"Great they keep coming!" Melody said as she leaped at the yummy and kicked it back...another egg glowed and formed into another Yummy that growled only for three Beat Sonic blasts to smash into it's side making it stumble back.
"They're speeding up their creation..." Beat said gritting her teeth as two more Yummies formed now outnumbering the girls.
"It must be Kanade...we gotta get to her fast!" Melody said glancing at the store.
"Melody, go and check on Kanade, I can hold them off a little longer," Beat said gripping her Soul Guitar Rod as Melody looked at her in shock.
"Are you nuts!" Melody said as Beat grasped Melody's arm and the pair leaped away from some acid spray stopping infront of the door to the shop as Beat prepared her weapon.
"Just go now! Beat Barrier!" Beat called out summoning a barrier to block the yummies as Melody dashed into the shop!
"Kanade!" Melody called out as she reached the kitchen where she saw Kanade still stirring a bowl of cake batter.
"Gotta...make the perfect cake.." Kanade said as Melody widened her eyes.
"Kanade!" Melody said as she moved in and grasped Kanade's shoulder as Kanade looked like a mess and was also exhausted with bags under her eyes.
"Hibiki...? Are you here for the cake? It's not ready..." Kanade weakly groaned as Melody widened her eyes.
"Kanade! You have to stop...! You should know there isn't a 'Perfect' cake! Every cake is tasty in their own way and are all perfect in their own ways!" Melody said grasping Kanade's shoulders. Making Kanade widen her eyes a little. A brief image of that Strawberry cake she made for Hibiki earlier in the year as she looked at Melody.
"No cake is always perfect...?" Kanade whispered as she gripped her head as she fell to her knees.
"Kanade!" Melody said helping her friend.
Meanwhile Cure Beat hopped away from the shrimp Yummies as she gained a cold sweat at the many numbers...already around 15 of those Yummies were around...without Melody to help her fight back they spawned much faster than she could defeat.
"This just won't end.." Beat groaned as she gripped her Soul Guitar Rod...just when a blur moved infront of her and slashed two Yummies back.
"Hey Beat, sorry for taking awhile," OOO spoke up gripping his Kamakiri swords while Birth flew onto the scene...firing an airborne barrage with his Birth Buster. Forcing the Yummies back as OOO slashed a few with his swords.
"Thanks...Melody's inside trying to help Kanade...but this horde won't stop.." Beat said before Birth noticed a small glowing light off in the corner.
"Hang on a second!" Birth said as he aimed his Birth Buster and shot a barrier of shots...hitting the glowing egg sack as it burst into water.
"The egg sack! Great work Birth!" OOO said. "Without that they can't spawn more Yummies!" He added before the two Riders and one Precure looked at the still 15 Yummies.
"But we still gotta deal with these...Melody's got Kanade, so let's end things fast," Birth said.
"Agreed," OOO said as he removed the Lion and Cheetah medals from his belt and brought out two familiar glowing green medals as he slotted them in and scanned the belt.
KUWAGATA!
KAMIKIRI!
BATTA!
GA~TA-GATA-GATA-KIRI-BA! GATA-KIRI-BA!
OOO stood still as the trio of glowing Green medals formed into the combo symbol and changed his armor into the Insect themed Gatakiriba as his form glowed and began making the duplication clones as the Gatakiriba swarm began to clash with the many Yummies. The clones slashed their swords against many of the yummies spilling Cell Medals onto the ground with every kick, punch or slash.
Birth moved in too landing as he fired rapid shots with the Birth Buster.
"Beat Sonic!" Beat called out as she launched the Musical Arrows at the Yummies pushing them back as well.
OOO's clones slashed rapidly herding 10 of the Yummies together.
"Alright finish them now!" OOO declared as he and all of the clones reached for their OOO Scanners and scanned their belts.
"Right behind you!" Birth said as he detaches the Cell Bullet Pod and slots it infront of the Birth Buster while Cure Beat switched her Guitar to it's Rod form as Sori flew into the Guitar.
SCANNING CHARGE
*CELL BURST*
"Gatakiriba Kick!" OOO yelled out as all of the clones slammed into the 10 Grouped Yummies making them explode and shower medals everywhere
"Birth Buster: Charge SHOT!" Birth called out firing a charged shot from his Birth Buster wiping out three more of the Yummies.
"Precure, Heartful Beat Rock!" Beat called out launching her Tone ring as it hit the two remaining Yummies.
"3/4! 1, 2, 3, Finale!" Beat called out as the ring slammed down destroying the last Yummies.
OOO took a soft breath as he looked at his fists and clenched them, feeling so far alright.
"Looks like your stamina's getting better," Birth said as OOO silently nods his head for now.
"Hey guys!" They hear the call and head inside to see Melody holding Kanade in her arms, the poor girl finally passed out from exhaustion.
"She alright?" OOO asked as Melody nods her head.
"Yeah she finally conked out." Melody said.
"Kanade!" A voice of concern is heard as Kanade's family quickly rushed over as Melody gently handed Kanade over to her parents.
"She'll be alright now...she's just exhausted," Melody said in as soft a tone as she could.
"B-but...what happened to her?" Souta asked as OOO sighed and approached while Beat and Birth stood back for now the group inside the home for now.
"Please don't think badly about her," Said OOO as he pointed at Kanade, who was still asleep after being used as a host of the Yummies, "It was thanks to our enemy she ended like that,"
"Your enemy?" Asked Kanade's mother as she still lest her daughter to rest in her arms.
"Our enemies use these coins," Said Birth as he showed a Cell Medal he took out of his Birth Buster, "These coins when used on a human can create monsters that feed on desires,".
Kanade's Mother and Father were surprised that a simple coin could create those monsters.
But Souta also glared the Cell Medal with a bit of anger knowing now that it was the item that make his sister suffer.
"Probably that girl had desires to make a perfect cake and our enemy took notice of that and used her to create more monsters," Since OOO and the Precure showed up Kanon Town eventually knew about the existence of the monsters so it would not be weird to be like that, "To create monsters that coin makes her become obsessed with her desire," OOO continued to speak as Birth stepped in.
"Indeed, but she is now free of that evil influence," Said Birth in his best attempt to fake an stoic voice, even when he was struggling to not show worry over one of his friends.
Still Ryan suggested they do that since if they showed too much familiarity with Kanade then maybe her family would begin to suspect.
It was lucky in that sense their suits covered their bodies, as their faces were hidden from the world and thus the nervous expression Itsuko was making while trying to act serious.
Well… telling lies clearly was not a strong point among most people of this group… maybe except for Ryan.
"Without that she would never acted obsessed like that," Said OOO, "However I don't think having desire itself is bad because if not then she would not have the drive to improve and make better cakes,".
Desire was something that could be used for good things or bad things… but to Ryan maybe it was something he lacked himself? After all he could handle Full Combos without going berserker.
However in that moment Souta noticed something.
"Hey, there is a Precure missing," He said, looking that indeed there was a Precure less in the group.
"Now that you mention it, it seems that a Precure is missing," Commented Kanade's father as he looked at the group, noticing there one less Precure than normally.
By this point it was known that the Precure had 3 members after one more joined some time ago, after all they were famous in all of Kanon Town.
Upon hearing that, Beat and Melody looked slightly nervous. Melody weakly chuckling as she rubbed the back of her head sweat dribbling down her face.
"W-well Rhythm is not here because… she is outside!" Said Beat as she tried to make those words sound convincing.
"Y-yeah, she went outside to make sure no other monster were left around," Said Melody, trying to not to show too much nervousness.
Yup, terrible at telling lies like this. Though Ryan believed if they had time to prepare it would have been better.
So knowing that if Hibiki and Ellen continued like that Kanade's family would suspect something, Ryan decided to speak once again.
"There is no need to worry anymore, so just let her rest more," He said, pointing at Kanade as her parents nod their heads, as they began carrying Kanade upstairs to the bedrooms.
"Come on let's head home for now, I need a good meal after fighting that many monsters," Birth said as OOO nods his head as do Beat and Melody as the four of them began to leave the place and left Kanade's family to take care of the rest… but before that. They heard a voice.
"Thanks for saving my sister!" Souta even bowed to show how grateful he was to OOO, Birth and the Precure for everything… while not knowing that his own sister was also a Precure. OOO glanced back at Souta.
"Heh no problem...but you don't need to say thanks...we're SuperHeroes, it comes with the job," OOO said as Birth and the Precure smiled.
"I promise that one day I also become a hero like you two!" Souta said with determination in his eyes as he was pointing to OOO and Birth.
Only girls can become Pretty Cure but OOO's and Birth are guys and yet they can fight alongside the Precure… so Souta wanted to be like them!
It was like seeing them in person fighting to save Kanade awakened something inside Souta.
That was… Desire.
Maybe even… even Ako would be impressed with him if he did become a Kamen Rider.
(Cutaway 1: Shows Hibiki playing music on a Cure Module as Ellen, Kanade, Ryan and Itsuko listen. Followed quickly by Kanade playing on a Cure Module as well as Hibiki listens with the others...next showing Hummy playing on a Cure Module only to gain a Purple Glow and floats only to land on the Suite Pretty Cure title that appears as the group softly smiles.)
(Cutaway 2: Chibi versions of the group are seen around the Healing chest as Hibiki traces her fingers across a Piano looking keys on the chest as it glows releasing the Crescendo Tone as it flies away with the group chasing after the Crescendo Tone as the Kamen Rider OOO title appears.)
Ontop of a building of Kanon town...stood the silent Cure Muse...her eyes narrowed briefly in memory having seen the power of the Healing Chest herself when it so easily defeated that Negatone. Silently she clenched a fist as Dodori floated infront of her.
"Muse, what are you thinking about?" Dodori asked but got no response as Muse stood there in silent thought.
(Meanwhile)
A week had passed since Kanade's experience with the Yummy. The young girl had finally recovered completely and was intent on helping her family out for the week she was indisposed. Especially with the recent Flea Market that was happening. Despite her family saying they could handle things, Kanade wished to help and had even recruited Hibiki and Ellen to aid in handling the selling of various things from clothing, toys and other kind of items.
"Wow, there's quite a lot of shops here.".." Ellen commented looking around at the market as she was seated with Hibiki while the pair were watching over the items they had for sale.
"I know right?" Hibiki said with a bright smile. "We have these kind of Flea Markets twice a year, every spring and fall. They're quite fun," Hibiki said as Ellen smiles and nods in agreement.
"Hibiki! Ellen! Sorry about the wait!" Kanade called out as she jogged over.
"Kanade!" Hibiki waved in greeting.
"Your finished helping out with the Lucky Spoon?" Ellen asked as Kanade smiles.
"Mostly, Mama and Papa said I should relax though, besides Souta will be coming around soon to help." Kanade said as Hibiki nods her head.
"You are truly a hard working daughter, Kanade," Kanade's mother spoke up as she was behind a small little travel stand for the Lucky Spoon, no doubt to sell their cakes for anyone wanting one while looking around the flea market.
"Hibiki, Ellen, let's work hard," She said as Hibiki grins and nods her head while Ellen formally bowed her head.
"Thank you for letting us join today," Ellen said as Kanade's mother smiled brightly.
"Well look forward to our sweets and cupcakes," She winks as Hibiki smiles even brighter while nearby Hummy who had been standing on the blanket holding some kind of gold charm acting like a stuffed doll reacted as well.
"Cupcakes and Sweets!? I want to eat some now!" Hummy cheered. As a passerby heard and widened his eyes.
"Did that cat just talk?" He asked as Hummy froze at talking outloud. While Ellen sweated too.
"Uh, it's a talking doll. You push the top of it's head like this," Ellen said as she lightly pressed a finger down on the top of Hummy's head.
"I want to eat Cupcakes!" Hummy called out playing along with Ellen's idea.
"Wow! How interesting. Like this?" The man said as he copied Ellen's finger press upon Hummy's head.
"I want to eat Cupcakes!" Hummy called out again playing the role still.
"That's pretty neat, is this one for sale?" He asked.
"I'm sorry, it's not for sale," Ellen said softly.
"I see, that's a shame," He said as he lightly pressed on Hummy's head again, with Hummy copying her response from before. But then his gaze landed on something else.
"Oh? How much for that beautiful box?" He asked as his eyes were upon the Healing Chest.
"Sorry, that isn't for sale either," Hibiki said softly.
"I see, shame," The Man said before he stood up and left as Hummy turned back to the pair.
"Don't sell me or the Healing Chest by mistake," Hummy whispered.
"Don't sell us either!" Dory said for the Fairy Tones that floated over.
"Don't worry we know," Hibiki said with a smile before she pumps a fist in excitement.
"Alright Kanade, Ellen, let's do our best!" Hibiki cheered as the girls followed in her cheer...as they were mostly selling what seemed to be homemade stuffed dolls.
Meanwhile back in Minor Land, Mephisto was grumbling to himself..his thoughts turning back to the power of the Precure and Kamen Rider OOO.
'Precure Suite Session Ensemble!'
'SUPER TATOBA TA-TO-BA!'
"Grr...damn that Healing Chest..." He growled before he activated the magic that allowed him to contact his trio of underlines. "HEY! Trio the Minor!" He yelled out having caught the trio having a lunch.
"M-Mephisto-sama! Good Day!" Bassdrum said as the trio quickly kneeled before his vision.
"Good day my butt! Stop sitting around and eating!" He scolded as the trio nod their heads.
"You have seen how fearsome the power of the Healing Chest is right? You must steal it form the Precure and Kamen Riders quickly!" He said with a growl. "Got it!? This time you better follow my orders!" He yelled before he dispelled the connection leaving the Trio the Minor alone.
"I've never seen such a fearsome Mephisto-sama!" Falsetto said as Baritone nods his head.
"We must get the healing chest or else something terrible will happen to us." He said while Bassdrum had just finished his meal.
"Mephisto-sama has gotten serious, it seems." He said calmly before he calmly swallowed his meal.
In another part of the Flea Market another familiar group were wandering about.
"So this is a Flea Market huh?" Ryan said as he looked around smiling faintly at the impressive variety of small stalls and shops lined up.
"I know, it's always a great place to find a bargain," Asagi said gleefully while Itsuko weakly chuckles.
"Well I'm mostly going to see if anybody's got anything mechanical I can find...you never know what someone will sell at a Flea Market," Itsuko said as he calmly headed down the row of shops.
"I'm gonna see if I can find some ingredients to buy...I might even have a new menu special for tomorrow," Asagi said as she headed off in another direction leaving Ryan as he chuckled weakly.
"Well guess I'll just wander around." Ryan joked as he calmly walked through the market his eyes glancing around calmly. Listening to the music that a nearby band were playing as he smiles...before he noticed a gathering of people around a certain stand as he noticed the Lucky Spoon next to it.
"Heh looks like they're doing well," Ryan joked as he stepped over. Just as a nearby woman and her daughter stepped over to the stand to see what was going on.
"Welcome!" Hummy greeted still keeping her doll act going.
"What a cute doll!" The little girl gushed as she lightly pets Hummy's head.
"That one isn't for sale, but we do have these other cute dolls here," Kanade said gesturing to the other dolls as the young girl picked up a rabbit doll. "Oh what a cute rabbit doll." The girl giggles.
"I made that one myself," Ellen said with a smile as she noticed Ryan who had arrived as he gave the girls a quick smile.
"It's really well made," The mother of the girl said with a smile as her daughter turned to her.
"Hey Mama, can we take this doll home with us?" She asked holding the Rabbit Doll.
"That sounds lovely, I'll buy the doll then," The Mother said with a smile.
"Thank you very much," Ellen said with a bright proud smile.
"I'll call this cutie Mimi-chan," The Little girl giggles while hugging the doll.
"Please Treasure it," Ellen said softly as the mother and daughter pair began to leave with the daughter holding the doll.
"Very nice work indeed girls." Ryan said with a smile.
"Oh Ryan-san, what brings you here?" Hibiki asked.
"Asagi dragged me along but she's off browsing for now...so I'm just wandering for now." Ryan said.
"Wow, your doing pretty well," Another voice speaks as Ryan turns to see Souta and Ako.
"Souta! Mama was looking for you!" Kanade said as Souta widened his eyes.
"AH! I totally forget! Sorry Ako. I have to help with the store." Souta said as he rubbed the back of his head as Ako nods her head.
"It's fine really, I was going home anyway." Ako said as Hibiki shows one of the T-shirts the girls had on sale.
"Hey Ako-chan, I have a t-shirt just for you. It's already been used, so you can have it for free." Hibiki said with a smile.
"Sorry, but I'll pass." Ako said softly.
"Oh? I thought it fit you perfectly?" Hibiki said as Ako began to walk away.
"Hey Ako! I'll see you at school tomorrow!" Souta called out. Ryan staying silent as he glanced at the leaving Ako before he shrugs his shoulders.
"So anyway I can help out with your sales?" Ryan asked as Souta headed over to help his mother with the Lucky Spoon stand.
The Trio the Minor were currently flying in the air scanning the ground.
"Where are those blasted Precure and Kamen Riders.." Bassdrum grumbled as the trio looked around.
"Hey what is that?" Falsetto asked pointing at something as they landed their flying bike...landing at the entrance to the flea market.
"What is this? Some kind of Festival?" Baritone asked looking around as they soon spotted the girls sale stand as well as Ryan chatting with them.
"Bingo! There they are!" Bassdrum cheered as the trio began to sneak into the market...
Back with the girls and Ryan...the Healing Chest was still getting a bit of attention indeed as a woman was admiring it.
"Hey, are you sure that's not for sale?" She asked as Hibiki bowed her head in apology.
"I'm really sorry," Hibiki said. "But how about I play a little song at least?" Hibiki asked as she opened the healing chest.
Ryan smiles as Hibiki began playing a little melody from the Healing Chests Piano-like keys on it's form. The young rider closing his eyes at the harmonious tone as did Ellen and Kanade.
Otokichi who was passing through heard the music and smiles as well before going on his way. Hibiki gently finished her little song to a round of applause from the crowd.
"You must really treasure that chest, right?" The woman from before asked as Hibiki smiles brightly.
"Yeah! It's precious for everyone, too." Hibiki said as Ryan smiles while Kanade and Ellen nod their heads.
Nearby hiding behind some stands was the Trio the Minor as Bassdrum and Falsetto for some reason were cross dressing as women.
"That's right...the Healing Chest is precious for us as well." Bassdrum said as he finished his disguise.
"Why are we disguising ourselves?" Baritone asked. "Why don't we just steal it?"
"Because we'll get owned by the Healing Chest's power again...you saw what it gave the Precure and OOO?" Falsetto asked.
"Exactly, we sneak in close with these disguises, make them drop their guard, then we take the Healing Chest and it will be ours." Bassdrum chuckles as Baritone and Falsetto nod their heads.
Back with the group Hummy was smiling brightly while munching on a Cupcake, as well as Hibiki, Kanade and Ellen together.
"Oi! Ryan-san!" Is heard as Ryan who was also enjoying a cupcake himself...noticed Asagi carrying a few bags.
"Well guess I better head off for now. you girls have a good day," Ryan said.
"You too Ryan-san," Ellen said with a smile as Ryan nods softly before he heads over to Asagi.
"These Cupcakes are just the sweetest!" Hibiki cheered as Ryan walked to Asagi only to be handed a few of the bags.
"Looks like Asagi-san brought Ryan-san along for extra help with her purchases..." Kanade said with a sweatdrop.
"Excuse me?" A voice asked as the trio turned to the voice. Only to freeze at the sight. Of the trio of Cross-dressed Trio the Minor.
"U-um...a-are you looking for something?" Kanade asked.
"This store is full of cute things!" Bassdrum said in his fake voice.
"Yeah! I'm so curious!" Baritone said in a fake tone himself.
"Wow! Look at that! That box is amazing!" Falsetto finished off in his own fake voice. "It'd fit you quite nicely." He said as Bassdrum chuckles.
"Oh no, I wanted that!" Bassdrum said as Hibiki held the chest in her arms.
"I'm sorry, but this isn't for sale!" Hibiki said as Bassdrum frowned.
"What a grouch. Can't I at least have a look at it?" Bassdrum asked as he managed to rip it from Hibiki's grasp and grinned. "This is it..." He said in his regular voice as Ellen and Hummy gasped.
"You...!" Ellen said as Bassdrum laughed as the trio removed their wigs.
"The Healing Chest is ours!" Bassdrum declared.
"We've got it!" Baritone and Falsetto called out in unison.
"Later!" Bassdrum grinned as the trio dashed off.
"Hey! Give that back!" Hibiki yelled out as she dashed after them with Ellen, Hummy and Kanade following.
"Souta! Watch the Store for us!" Kanade said as she dashed off.
"Eh!? What!?" Souta asked in shock. In another part of the Flea Market area the trio were moving down a street at fast speeds to get more distance from the Precure after all.
"Haha! We got the Healing Chest!" Bassdrum cheered as the Trio the Minor dashed down a street only for the heels in Bassdrums shoes for his disguise broke. Making him lose his balance causing Baritone and Falsetto to crash into him.
The trio took a tumble down the stairs in a pile up with the Healing Chest on the ground nearby. The trio too disorientated by the tumble to see someone take the healing chest away.
"Where is the Healing Chest?" Bassdrum asked looking around for it. Only to see what seemed to be the Healing Chest on the ground. "Thank goodness, it'd suck if we lost it right after getting it." Bassdrum said the trio not knowing of a shadowy figure in a nearby alleyway who slipped away. Just as they heard the girls approaching their destination.
"Drats...quick behind the Fountain!" Bassdrum said as the trio moved away quickly...neither group noticing Cure Muse watching from above.
The girls soon arrived nearby the fountain looking around for any sign of the Trio the Minor.
"Jeez! Where did they go!?" Hibiki spoke looking around.
"They couldn't have gotten too far." Kanade said.
"Let's look this way," Ellen suggested as the trio headed off not knowing of the hiding Trio the Minor behind the fountain.
"The Healing Chest is ours." Bassdrum chuckles casually as he calmly began to open the chest...but instead of the piano like keys and the jewel inside the chest...all that was inside was a Pink heart with a cartoonish pair of eyes and pulling a raspberry at them. "What!?" Bassdrum gasped.
"When was it switched!?" Baritone growled out.
"Found you!" Hibiki called out as the trio the minors loud exclaim got the girls attention. "Return the Healing Chest now!" Hibiki declared as Bassdrum scowled.
"How is this the Healing Chest!?" Bassdrum asked showing the fake version.
"A fake?" Kanade asked in surprise.
"W-where is the real Healing Chest!?" Hibiki wondered.
"Phew...okay that's everything all back where we need it...good work Ryan, it'd be a pain getting this all back by myself," Asagi said as she and Ryan set their bags down inside the restaurant.
"No problem Asagi-san." Ryan said as he carried his bags into the kitchen. Setting them safely on a table as Asagi followed suit.
"I can handle the rest...besides it's a lovely day and I'm sure that Flea Market will have some fun stuff...so why don't you head back out." Asagi said as Ryan looks at her as she smiles. "I can handle the shop for a few hours by myself, just make sure to come back soon." She said as Ryan nods his head and heads outside into the sunshine.
Ryan gave a small frown as he began moving...only to notice a figure of Black moving through the sky.
"Is that...?" Ryan said in shock before he got out the OOO Driver and his core medals!
Meanwhile on a rooftop was Cure Muse who was looking at the Healing Chest.
"Everyone is looking for the Healing Chest...we need to give it back to the Precure quickly." Dodori said as Cure Muse began to move a hand towards the Healing Chest when a voice spoke.
"Cure Muse..." A soft tone spoke making the silent Cure widen her eyes...as the Healing Chest opened revealing the Crescendo Tone inside the jewel.
"Crescendo Tone-sama! It's an honor to meet you!" Dodori cheered as the Crescendo Tone smiled brightly.
"Dodori, you look great." The Golden Tone spoke before turning her eyes to Muse. "Cure Muse, I understand your frustrations of having to wear that mask. But it's okay. The day you can take it off is coming soon." The Crescendo tone spoke with a smile as Muse gently widened her eyes...only for a buzzing sound to be heard nearby.
"What is...?" Dodori wondered turning around and gasped as Muse spun around to see hovering nearby was a Dragonfly Yummy...it's form glowing black as it growled towards her.
"One of those Black Yummy monsters!?" Dodori said as Cure Muse stood ready to fight. The Yummy growled before it was kicked out of the air. Muse blinking her eyes in surprise as it landed on the rooftop in a heap...as the one who kicked it...landed infront of her...Kamen Rider OOO currently in his Tatoba combo.
"Kamen Rider OOO-san?" Dodori said in surprise. OOO turning to see Dodori and Muse his eyes focusing on the Healing Chest.
"You mind holding onto that for now." OOO said as he turned to the Yummy. "I'll take care of the Yummy!" OOO said as the Yummy growled. Just as they heard a familiar voice nearby bellow out.
"Come Out! Negatone!" Bassdrum's voice called out as OOO turned to the nearby plaza as one of the Rabbit dolls the girls had sold was transformed into a Negatone and was already spreading the Melody of Sorrow.
"OOO-san Look out!" Dodori called out as OOO turned to the Yummy as it tackled into OOO sending the pair over the edge and down into the plaza. Where Hibiki, Kanade and Ellen were facing the Negatone.
"Turning a fun time for everyone into something like this..." Hibiki clenched a fist at that.
"Making them all sad..." Kanade added as the trio nod their heads in resolution.
"...Unforgiveable!" Hibiki, Kanade and Ellen called out together as they gripped their Cure Modules.
"Let's play! Precure Modulation!" They called out together bathed in light of Pink, White and Blue before forming into their Precure identities.
"Strumming the wild rhythm, Cure Melody!" Melody called out.
"Strumming the tranquil melody, Cure Rhythm!" Rhythm called out.
"Strumming the beat of the soul, Cure Beat!" Beat called out.
"Resonate! Our Musical Suite! Suite Precure!" They finished together.
"Go Negatone! Make them feel pain until they reveal the real Healing Chest!" Bassdrum declared as the Negatone blurred appearing above the trio going for a splash on them as they avoided the attack. But the Negatone extended it's rabbit ears to try and strike the trio but they were able to avoid...just as the Negatone was hit by a barrage of Cell shaped bullets.
"Hey! Sorry I'm late girls!" Is heard as Itsuko currently transformed as Kamen Rider Birth appeared on the scene firing with his Birth Buster. "Hey where's OOO?" He had to ask.
"I haven't seen him...but be careful this Negatone is quick." Melody said.
"Split up then," Birth said as he and Melody headed upfront. Birth firing a small barrage to get it's attention. Beat and Rhythm moved to the sides to attack. But the Negatone was quick swinging a tail and one of it's arms knocking Beat and Rhythm away!
"Girls!" Birth said in shock as the Negatone turned to the pair and roared out a Melody of Sorrow towards both Birth and Melody.
Bassdrum then noticed something as he narrowed his eyes...as a crash was heard nearby as Rhythm and Beat groaned looking at the scene and noticed OOO on the ground holding back a Black Dragonfly Yummy as the Rider kicked it back.
Muse meanwhile was watching this all clenching a fist in silence. When the Crescendo Tone spoke up.
"Melody, Rhythm, Beat, OOO and Birth are fighting to save the worlds happiness. You have the same thoughts." The Crescendo Tone spoke as Muse glanced to the side as Dodori spoke.
"That's right. Muse is always working hard for happiness, too." Dodori spoke turning to Muse. "But today...No Muse has changed lately." Dodori said as Muse closed her eyes.
"Cure Muse, I understand that you want to protect the people precious to you." The Crescendo Tone spoke...as Muse widened her eyes at the Tone knowing that...only to notice one the Green Piano key starting to glow as the Crescendo Tone smiles softly.
Back at the battle, Melody broke through the Melody of Sorrow and kicked the Negatone's head while Beat and Rhythm hit it on the back of the head. Allowing Birth to recover and fire a pair of exploding rounds into the Negatone's knees making it stumble.
"Those five wish to protect everyones Happiness from sorrow. They fight with all their might." The Crescendo tone spoke. "There is nothing quite the same as you wanting to protect the five of them." The Crescendo tone added as the Negatone hit the three Cures and one Rider sending them flying back. Meanwhile nearby the Dragonfly sent a black buzz of shockwaves towards OOO making sparks fly as he was sent back landing nearby the others.
"Muse...I believe in Melody, I believe in OOO...i believe in all of them. I'm sure you'll be able to connect with them all as well." The Crescendo Tone spoke as the Five got back up with Birth joining OOO as the two Riders charged at the Yummy attacking with punches and kicks forcing it back. The Crescendo tone smiling as Cure Muse would see a pair of glowing Green lights flying out of the Healing Chest and down towards the battle!
Melody meanwhile noticed something behind the Negatone and turns to Rhythm and Beat. "Rhythm, Beat, distract the negatone for me." Melody said as the pair nod and jump up landing a double kick to the Negatone's face. Allowing Melody to grab the nearby banner. "Okay! Take this!" Melody said as she blinded the Negatone by wrapping the banner around it's eyes.
"Okay let's end this now!" Melody said as the girls summoned their Belltiers and Beat summoned her Soul Rod Guitar. Only for Melody to widen her eyes as the young girl they had given the doll too earlier blocked their path.
"Please! Stop picking on Mimi-chan...!" She cried out as her mother quickly tried to comfort her daughter as Melody smiled softly.
"We're not trying to bully her." Melody said softly as the girl stopped crying as she looked at them.
"We're trying to return her back to normal. We're fighting the evil heart that's taken over her." Rhythm said as Beat nods her head.
"Don't worry, we'll return her good as new." Beat said as Melody nods showing a pinkie to the girl and smiles.
"Promise," Melody said as the girl gently smiles back and links pinkies with Melody. The girl and her mother moving out of the way as Melody turns to the Negatone.
"Remember..you have someone who loves you...now let us set you free!" Melody said gripping her Belltier.
"Come Out, Tone Ring!" The Trio called out.
"Precure Music Rondo!" Melody and Rhythm called out together.
"Precure Heartful Beat Rock!" Beat called out as the trio launched the tone rings as they hit the Negatone.
"3/4! 1, 2, 3! Finale!" The trio declared together as the rings bathed the Negatone in the light...freeing the Doll from the control and the Note from the Negative energy. Hummy helping in purifying the note as it went into one of the Fairy tones...
Melody smiling holding the doll or rather Mimi-chan as she approached the girl and handed her it back. Only for a crashing sound to be heard as Melody turned to that with a frown.
"You better go now," Melody said as the pair take off with the three Precure heading to the other fight going on.
Birth swung the Drill Arm as it clashed with the Yummy sparks flying only for it to knock him aside. OOO clenching a fist as he stood up...only for his sharp eyesight to catch a pair of glowing Green lights flying towards him as he caught them both. Opening his palm and widened his eyes behind the helmet.
"N-no way?" OOO said in shock.
"OOO!" Melody called out as the three Precure arrived. "What's going on...?" Melody asked only to see the Medals in his hand.
"Wait...how'd you get those? Didn't the Crescendo Tone send you those other medals?" Rhythm asked. OOO glanced at the Yummy as it growled out in anger.
"I'm not sure either girls...maybe the Crescendo Tone finished them and sent them to aid us...despite it being who knows where..but for now I gotta finish this fight." OOO said as Melody, Beat and Rhythm nod their heads as Birth landed infront of them stumbling.
"Geez this Yummy is tougher..." Birth groaned as OOO calmly stepped forward...bringing out the Super Batta Medal he already had and slotted it into his OOO Driver...the two glowing Green lights becoming a pair of Medals...mostly Green colored with a Golden carvings showing a Mantis on one and a Stag Beetle in the other as OOO slotted them into his OOO Driver...and scanned his belt.
SUPER!
SUPER!
SUPER!
SUPER KUWAGATA!
SUPER KAMIKIRI!
SUPER BATTA!
SU~PER GATA-GATA-KIRI-BA! GATA-KIRI-BA!
[Insert Song: Got To Keep It Real ~short ver.~ by Eiji Hino (Shu Watanabe) feat. Sunaho from Labor Day]
OOO stood there...covered in an Emerald Green glow as lightning sparked off his form. His Taka Helmet briefly changed into the Kuwagata Helmet...before it also changed...the antlers becoming thicker and widened out forming rows of spikes along it sparking with electricity. His lens stayed orange as they glowed with power...while on the arms was segmented Light Green armor all over the arms...a pair of Scythe like blades showing on the arms instead of curved swords each one gleaming sharply. While the legs remained the same as Super Tatoba's. In the centre was a Full Green emblem with the Golden markings of the Three Medals appearing together...the last thing was the bodysuit being Pure Green in color compared to the normal Black bodysuit under the armor.
"E-eh!? A new evolved combo!?" Birth said in shock as the Trio the Minor grit their teeth at this as they boarded their bike and fled the scene.
"You can just feel the power..." Melody whispered as Green Lightning sparked off OOO in his new combo. The Dragonfly growling before charging forward as OOO calmly watched before blocking it with the back of his Scythe Blades before slashing wide causing sparks to fly as the Yummy spilled Cell medals. OOO went on the offense slashing and clashing his Scythe Bladed weapons against the Yummy before planting a fast kick to it's stomach...sending it skidding back as it's wings unfurled launching it into the air.
OOO calmly formed some kind of symbol with his two hands together...before his form sparked and summoned another four clones together in a split second..as all four grabbed their OOO Scanners and scanned their belt together.
SCANNING CHARGE! x5!
The Four Clones jumped into the air as one of them went for a flying jump kick but seemed to miss as the Yummy moved out the way only for the Clone's leg strength helping it leap in midair as it hit the Yummy in the back stunning it in place...as the clone vanished when it hit...the other three clones striking it with a kick coating it in more green electricity...as sparks flew...as the true OOO seemed to jump upwards twice before falling towards the Yummy sparking and glowing with Green Electric energy.
"Super Gatakiriba Kick!" OOO declared as the final attack hit...as the Yummy exploded into a rain of Cell Medals...with OOO landing panting heavily from that brief use.
[Song End]
"That was crazy..." Birth said in shock as OOO set the OOO Driver to normal and turned back into Ryan as Birth removed the Cell Medal returning to Itsuko.
"Jeez what was that stuff about the Healing Chest?" Itsuko asked.
"Ah! We still need to find it!" Melody said as the girls returned to normal while Ryan glanced at the rooftop nearby.
Muse picked up the Healing Chest silently as Dodori spoke.
"Muse. What will you do with the healing chest?" Dodori asked as the five had already taken off as Muse silently hopped down to the plaza...
It was late afternoon now and the Lucky Spoon's sale stand was empty, Souta seemed to have sold all of the items as Hibiki, Kanade, Ellen, Ryan and Itsuko arrived to see Souta napping.
"Souta...sorry we took so long," Kanade said. Souta waking up as he noticed the five of them.
"Jeez how long were you gonna make me wait?" Souta groaned out.
"Sorry.." Kanade said softly.
"It's fine...don't worry about it sis." Souta said with a smile before his gaze turned to the left.
"Huh? Ako?" Souta said in surprise as the group turned to her.
"Ako-chan? Didn't you go home?" Hibiki asked.
"I came here to give you this back...you dropped it." Ako said as the trio gasped as did Itsuko.
"The Healing Chest!?" Ellen gasped.
"Where'd you find it?" Hibiki asked as she took the box and opened it seeing everything was fine.
"It was by the fountain. That was yours, right?" Ako asked as Hibiki smiled brightly and gave Ako a surprise hug.
"Yes...thank you very much!" Hibiki cheered as Ako looked a little embarrassed by the thanks.
"Okay..." She mumbled as Hibiki eventually let her go as Ako headed for home with Souta waving good-bye.
"Heh she's pretty nice." Itsuko chuckled as Ryan smiled faintly.
"Yeah but that was pretty close though...we nearly lost the healing chest." Kanade said.
"Did the Trio the Minor drop it while escaping us?" Ellen wondered how the Trio got that fake Chest.
"Oh well...we got it back, that's all that matters," Hibiki said with a smile.
"If you say so." Itsuko said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Hey, we're almost done here? Isn't it time to clean up?" Souta asked.
"Right, let's close up." Kanade said.
"Sadly we gotta get going and help Asagi back at the restaurant..." Ryan said.
"We'll chat another time," Itsuko said as Hibiki nods her head as the two headed off. Hummy meanwhile gently opened the Healing Chest.
"Crescendo Tone, where did you go? Did someone take you somewhere?" Hummy asked as the Crescendo Tone appeared.
"I'm very tired today. Good Night Hummy." The Crescendo tone spoke before vanishing into the Healing Chest again.
"Oh well...good night then," Hummy said as she gently shut the chest.
Meanwhile deep in the nearby forests of Kanon Town...Scorab calmly crossed his arms with a frown on his face.
"What was the point in sending that Yummy out there? Even if we got the Negative Energy from it and that Negatone's defeat?" Scorab asked the swirling cloud of Darkness that was Black Hole who calmly turns to Scorab.
"Hmph..the problem is that Healing Chest.." Black Hole grumbled. "It has been providing that Kamen Rider OOO with new powers...with that power as his command as well as the Precures power...they could overwhelm us before we're at a suitable stage of the plans." Black Hole explained.
