Chapter 22

Unknown Danger Ahead

Blaze and his friends had arrived in Minor Land shortly after they had stepped through the portal, though they didn't know where they were in Minor Land at this very moment, and because of the predicament they were in, Blaze decided that it would be best if he just asked Karen, seeing as she knew this place very well.

"Where are we?"

"We're in my room inside the palace in Minor Land"

"Wow, you're rooms super cute!" Mia said as she admired the room in awe, while Blaze looked rather impatient.

"Let's just hurry up and find my sister so that we can get out of here. I don't want to be here any longer than I have to be."

"Okay, so where do you think she'd be, Karen?" Rina asked the girl, who began to think carefully, though just shrugged moments later.

"If I remember correctly, then Hanon should be in one of the rooms closest to the throne room."

"We'll let's go!" Luchia declared, sprinting off towards where the throne room was along with Blaze, which surprised Karen."

"Wait! There might be some traps set up!" She began, though it was too late as it seemed that Luchia had already triggered one of them.

A second later, the group heard a rumbling sound and looked behind them only to see a giant boulder formed out of negative energy waves heading straight for them. Panicking, Rina grabbed Mia's hand as she and Karen began to run from the death machine that was behind them.

After another second of running, Karen and Blaze noticed the corridor they were nearing and quickly pushed Luchia, Rina and Mia into it, so that the Negative Energy ball rolled straight past them.

"They really don't want us to get to sis, huh?" Blaze said breathlessly, putting his hand to the wall, activating yet another trap, which sent an arrow filled with Negative energy straight at his hand, which he quickly moved out of the way before the group began to run down the corridor, towards the throne room and once they were there, they began to listen into the conversation, which seemed to be almost over.

"I want you to take out those Pretty Cures once and for all the next time you see them! Is that understood!?" Noise declared, obviously very annoyed.

"Yes, sir. As you wish."

Blaze froze as he heard this voice. Though it sounded more sadistic than usual, Blaze knew he would recognize it anywhere. It was his little sister.

He didn't have much time to process this however, as he heard footsteps coming towards the door as soon as Hanon had finished speaking and he was roughly pulled into one of the dark corners behind the door so he saw Hanon as soon as she exited the room, which made his heart clench as he noticed that the girl look so exhausted.

"Let's follow her." Luchia whispered, and they all began to follow her friend, hoping that very soon, they would be on the same side once more.
