Just What I Always Wanted

Disclaimer: I don't own Yes! Pretty Cure 5/Go Go! Only the respective company, Toei Animation does. I only own the character, 'Tidus', a unified individual of Shadow and Mushiban. This special story is a direct sequel to 'My Heart Cries Out for You' and November 8th is Nozomi Yumehara's birthday. Also, this will contain many OOC. Read & Review and please, no flames! Enjoy!

Several months has gone by, ever since Pretty Cure 5 and Milky Rose have managed to defeat their previous enemy and save their beloved school. Around that time, Komachi was finally able to submit her feelings towards Nuts by showing him her old novel that she originally shelved until it was finally completed. Not only did it happen to them, but it also happened to Syrup and Urara. After struggling with the loss of Flora, he was strong enough to unveil his feelings to Urara as well.

Since then, the Four Rulers returned to Palmier Kingdom except for Coco, Nuts, Syrup and Milk by supporting their best friends with their daily activities. First for Karen, known as the Blue Spring of Intelligence, Cure Aqua, continues her role as an ongoing doctor. Second is Urara, recognized as the Cure of Effervescene, Cure Lemonade, keeps moving forward to her singing and acting career, while continuing her relationship with the mail carrier, Syrup. Third is Rin, the fiery-passion tomboy, Cure Rouge is having a successful career as an accessory designer with her bead bracelet designs and maintaining her flower shop with her two children. Fourth is Komachi, the friendly and tranquil novelist, Cure Mint has made great progress with not only her novel publishing, but also her special bond with Nuts. And last but not least, Nozomi, a struggling but cheerful school grader, now pursues her role as a teacher with her love interest, Coco at her side helping her out.

Everything has returned back to normal. That is until one fateful evening, Nozomi was in bed and has trouble sleeping by tossing and turning on the pillow.

(Nozomi's Daydream Begins)

The area was very dark and no matter where she turned, there was no way out and fear began to sink in. She was all alone and tries calling out to her close friends. "Everyone! Where are you? Coco? Nuts? Milk? Syrup? Rin-chan? Komachi? Urara? Karen?" She began to cry softly until she heard some loud footsteps coming towards her. A small chill went down her spine and as she slowly turned around, she became stunned to see Dark Dream right in front of her. She smiled brightly. "My old friend! How I've missed you!" But as she threw her arms, she went right through her and fell flat on her stomach. "Huh? What gives?"

As she gets back up, Dark Dream starts to fade away from her. "No, wait! Don't go, please!" But no matter how fast she ran, her dark heroine self kept moving away until she felt something stuck on her feet. By looking down, she gasped in horror to see a familiar dark puddle trapping her. Tried as she might, she was unable to break free and it pulls her down like quicksand. She reached out her hand and tries calling to her friend loudly. "Please come back!" Unfortunately, it was no use and she sank right down to the bottom right before she screamed very loudly. "NO!"

(Nozomi's Daydream Ends)

Nozomi immediately woke up from her terrible dream and was grasping for air. Her forehead was already sweating bullets and her heart was beating rapidly like a horse. By looking at her surroundings, she realizes that she's back in her fabled bedroom. "It...It was all a dream." She gazes at the ceiling above as tears filled up her purple eyes. "How long has it been, since I saw you?" After reminiscing about her late dark counterpart, she goes back in bed and fell asleep. During this, she cried softly.

Morning came and everyone has shown up at Natts House by not only decorating the place but also displayed more flower pots and decorative bead bracelets, along with sweeping up the dust and cobwebs.

Outside of Natts House, Nozomi is the last person to show up and was just about to open the front door until she realizes what today it is. "Oh, that's right. Today is my birthday." She made a faint smile. "I hope, Coco has something special for me." She turns the knob and walked inside.

Rin was busy making more bead bracelets with her accessories kit, when she saw her childhood best friend walk inside and greeted her with a bright smile. "Well, it's about time you showed up, Nozomi. Care to help me out?"

Unlike Rin, Nozomi didn't smile back and turned her head away, while replying in a sad tone. "No, thank you, Rin-chan."

"H-Hey! What's the matter?" called Rin. But much to the red-haired gal's surprise, she didn't answer back by noticing tears coming from Nozomi's purple eyes. Once she walked past Komachi, Nuts, Karen, Kurumi, Urara and Syrup, she goes outside of the patio and closed the door behind her. "Nozomi."

Everyone became baffled upon seeing Nozomi feeling quiet and forlorn.

Even Kurumi felt bad after witnessing Nozomi not greeting everybody with her trademark smile. "Nozomi, what happened to you?"

Syrup asked Urara. "What do you think caused her to be like this?"

"I don't know but something's amiss."

Coco also saw this and is left wondering about Nozomi feeling unhappy. He narrowed his eyes with concern and decided to confront his love interest.

Outside, Nozomi was leaning against the fence and gazes at the blue sky above with pure white clouds with the sun shining down on her. But on this day, she wasn't feeling like her cheerful self. By tracing back to her daydream yesterday, she began to cry softly as tears streamed down on her cheeks and onto the post. Then, she buries her face with her hands and cries harder.

During her breakdown, Coco opens the door and sees Nozomi sobbing. He calls out to her. "Nozomi, what's wrong? Please talk to me."

Upon hearing his words, she turns to Coco with hot tears in her purple eyes.

He became very shocked to see his girlfriend feeling very sad and so were the rest of her friends as they all joined in.

"I haven't seen you look so sad, since you were a kid. Again, why the long face?" thought Rin.

Luckily for Nozomi, she calmed herself down by wiping away her tears and blowed a tissue from the Kleenex box.

Afterwards, Coco folded his arms and asked her as to why she felt silent earlier. "Nozomi, we've known each other for such a long time and now, you're beating yourself up. Tell us your problem and we'll help you. It might lift the weight off your shoulders."

Nozomi felt a little better. "Thank you, Coco. I-I had trouble sleeping last night and that's when I had a disturbing dream about a certain someone."

"Oh? You're not thinking about Flora, are you?" wondered Coco.

Syrup frowned after hearing the woman's name that raised him, before her passing and the defeat of Eternal's Director.

Nozomi shook her head. "No, it's not her. It's about...Dark Dream."

"What?!" cried Coco.

"Eh?!" gasped Komachi, Nuts, Karen, Kurumi, Urara, Syrup and Rin in unison.

Both Coco and all of Nozomi's friends couldn't believe their eyes. She was reflecting on her dark doppelgänger from yesterday.

"You were daydreaming about your twin? Why is that?" Coco asked.

By sniffing out her nose, she replied. "First off, I apologize for not responding back to you and everybody. I really want to see her again. Back when she sacrificed herself to save me from Shadow's attack, she claims that she liked me and we would've meet in a different place but she can't since she's a fake." She cried again. "I still refuse to believe that my dark clone was a fraud and so I spared her, because she has a heart like I do!"

"I-I didn't know that you still feel that way towards her" says Coco with a look of shock on his handsome face.

Nozomi tugged his shirt and starts pleading to him. "Please, Coco. Isn't there something that you and everyone at Palmier Kingdom could do to revive her and the rest? She was my true friend, just like Rin-chan."

Rin felt touched from Nozomi's words. "N-Nozomi."

"My goodness" added Kurumi sadly.

When Nozomi told Coco about missing her dark clone, Komachi remembers her mirrored self as well and felt awful after she was unable to save her during Shadow's invasion of the Mirror Kingdom.

Whereas Syrup, he raised his eyebrow in question and asked Urara. "I'm a little lost here. What's this all about?"

She whispered in his ear and explained everything about their time ranging from visiting Princess Land by dressing up as princesses, battling Shadow and their dark counterparts in the Mirror Kingdom, right up until Dark Dream's sacrifice of saving Cure Dream's life from Shadow's attack before reverting back as a coloured crystal. After she was finished, Syrup gasped in astonishment.

"S-Seriously?" He whispered in her ear, if she was thinking about her clone as well. "Don't tell me that you feel the same way about yours, are you?"

She nodded her head slightly in agreement. "Just a little bit."

He smacked himself on the forehead. "Good grief."

Back to Coco, he begins to contemplate about how to solve Nozomi's depression regarding her lost friend. Then, it hit him. Before he confronted her outside, he took a quick glance at the calendar and realizes that today is her birthday. He placed his hand on her shoulder and responded back. "Nozomi, I've got an interesting idea and it just might work."

"B-But, how?" she cried after sniffing her nose again.

He continued. "I will be asking Syrup to transport all of us to Palmier Kingdom by speaking with the Four Rulers about your recent problem. If we can find a possible solution, there's a slight chance to be reunited with her."

With that, Nozomi smiled brightly. "Really? You mean it, Coco?"

Coco smiled back. "Of course. Anything I can do for the girl that I truly love."

Nozomi threw her arms around his neck and he threw his arms around her lower back, while they embraced. "Then, let's go! It's decided!"

After their brief conversation, they all came on-board Syrup (in his fairy form) with Nuts, Coco and Milk (also in their fairy forms) by traveling to the Palmier Kingdom in order to bring back Nozomi's long lost ally. During their trip, Karen noticed Komachi feeling down all of a sudden while cradling Nuts on her lap.

"Komachi, what's the matter?"

"Huh?" Upon glancing at her best friend's face, she replies back with a false answer. "It's...It's nothing, really. I'm fine." By turning her head away, Nuts asks her.

"You don't sound fine. What's really troubling you?"

She answered by whispering to him softly. "Nozomi-san isn't the only one that misses her dark self, but so do I."

"What? You too?" he cried.

Before long, she immediately covers his mouth. "Quiet, Nuts-san!"

Karen quickly turns back to Komachi again and is left wondering what the conversation between them was all about. Komachi starts laughing, while still covering Nuts's mouth. With her eyebrow raised in question, there was definitely something wrong with her close friend.

Just then, Syrup informs the group that they've arrived at their destination and landed safely on the ground. "Heads up, everyone. We're here."

Once they've made their arrival, the five girls are greeted by the fairy residents of Palmier Kingdom. Right after that, Karen utilizes her doctor skills to treat the injured, Urara singing one of her latest songs and Komachi reading her novels. Whereas Rin and Nozomi, they tagged along with Milk, Nuts and Coco to discuss with King Doughnuts, King Montblanc, Queen Bavarois and Princess Crepe.

At first glance, King Doughnuts wasn't interested of having Coco's human friends showing up here. But upon staring at Nozomi's miserable expression, he lets Coco explain their reason for coming all the way here. The first was Shadow's invasion of the Mirror Kingdom, the creation of Dark Pretty Cure 5 with the usage of the five coloured crystals, Dark Dream becoming an ally after Nozomi spared her and then sacrificing herself to save her which resulted of her crystal life force shattered, celebrating Nozomi's birthday in the Land of Sweets before Mushiban invaded and Cure Dream obtaining a new form, defeating the Director and its members from Eternal by protecting the Cure Rose Garden and Flora up until seeing her again in her recent daydream.

After a short deliberation, King Doughnuts responded back. "I see. So, you really wish to see your dark twin, again? I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible."

"Why is that?" asked Nozomi.

He continued. "It would require the Dream Collet with all fifty-five pinkies that were caught and the Rose Pact altogether. Still, ever since Nightmare's leader already used it, there may not be a chance for you to see your dark twin again. It's ludicrous."

"Say, what?" yelled Nuts.

Believing that the odds of reuniting with her long lost duplicate would never occur, tears reappeared in her purple eyes and as she starts crying again, Rin nestled Nozomi's head on her shoulder. "Nozomi. Hey, that was harsh and you made her upset."

"I only appreciate those who work hard! What more could I expect?" he shouts.

Queen Bavarois retorted. "Please calm down, your highness. The young girl really means well and her heart is pure. Surely, there is a very good reason why."

Princess Crepe blinked her eyes in curiosity. "Oh? What might that be?"

As Coco glances at Nozomi being comforted by Rin and Milk while crying, he informs Rin. "Rin, would you and Milk escort Nozomi outside, please?"

"S-Sure. Come on, Nozomi."

After watching Rin and Milk take Nozomi outside of the palace, Coco discusses with the Four Rulers regarding her late dark self. "Now, please listen to me, your highness. That was quite rude of you to hurt her feelings. It's just like what Queen Bavarois said, she has a pure heart and I completely agree. She hasn't thought about her dark clone for such a long time up until now and it would be even worse on her birthday."

"What was that?" gasped King Doughnuts and so did the others.

Nuts turns to his comrade and belittled him about not telling him and her friends regarding her birthday. "Why didn't you tell her about it?"

"I want this to be a special surprise for her! Let alone having a cake with burnt out candles."

By stroking his chin, King Doughnuts replied. "Well, I could make an exception. Now, listen very carefully..."

While Coco and Nuts prepare to make their arrangements, back outside, Rin and Milk console Nozomi.

"Cheer up, Nozomi. I'm sure that Coco and Nuts are working things out with them."

"Don't condemn yourself. It will only get worse."

By wiping away her tears and getting a pat on the back from Rin, she replied. "Thanks, you two." Just then, she notices Komachi's unhappy expression after finishing her story-time with the fairies. She raised her eyebrow in curiosity.

Rin also noticed it. "Now, what's the problem?" She turns to where Komachi is and much to her surprise, she too spotted Komachi feeling upset and thought to herself. "Good grief. Don't tell me that she misses her dark twin, too."

That's when Nozomi felt Milk tugging her leg. "What is it, Milk?"

"Nozomi, Coco-san and Nuts-san just came back."

As the five girls spotted this, they've noticed the two fairies exiting from their meeting with the Four Rulers and carrying a mysterious new item.

This made Rin very curious and turns to Nozomi. "I wonder, what that is. Any ideas?"

"No, I'm afraid not" answered Nozomi.

"Whatever it is, it sounds exciting" added Milk.

Once all five girls went up the stairs with their fairy companions and onto the back of Syrup's large bird form, they went back to Natts House.

Deep within the darkness realm of despair, two evil souls have made contact and began communicating about one common enemy.

Unknown#1: "What business do you have with me?"

Unknown#2: "Does the name Cure Dream mean anything to you?"

Unknown#1: "Yes, it does. That insignificant pest ruined my plans!"

Unknown#2: "Same with me! She will pay greatly for this!"

Unknown#1: "It would seem that we share the same rival. How about we join together?"

Unknown#2: "You mean by unification? What an excellent idea. Both herself and her accomplices will never know what will hit them."

By making an agreement, the two souls fused together to become one and in a brilliant flash. It began to form into one unified individual and after its completion, an evil grin was shown on its lips and its eyes were crimson red.

Immediately back inside the accessories shop, Coco and Nuts shows everyone about the newest item that was presented to them by the Four Rulers. "What do you all think?"

As everybody hunched over to see the new acquired item, they all became very amazed of it. It almost has the same size like the Dream Collet but with the Rose symbol on it.

"Wow! It looks marvellous. What is it?" asked Kurumi.

Coco answered. "It's called, 'the Rose Collet'. A unified item of the Dream Collet and the Rose Pact."

"That's great. But, does this mean that we have to collect all fifty-five Pinkies and the Roses again?" thought Urara.

Nuts replied. "Not necessarily. Due to the unification of the Rose Pact and the Dream Collet, it won't be needed. In fact, rather than granting one wish, it can now grant two."

All of the girls gasped in astonishment.

"Unbelievable!" said Karen.

"T-Two wishes?" cried Rin. She turns to Nozomi. "Hey, Nozomi. Do you know what this means? You might be able to see your old friend, again!"

With tears reappearing in her purple eyes again, she retorted. "B-But what if, it's temporary? Both herself and the others were only created as our copies by Shadow, when he used the five coloured crystals from the Mirror Kingdom. That's almost worse than Coco being under Mushiban's influence during our visit to the Land of Sweets and it happened on my birthday."

"Nozomi" says Coco feeling awfully surprised. He puts his hand on her shoulder and after wiping her tears away, he continued. "Please, listen. To tell you the truth, the Four Rulers have actually agreed with your request relating to your late friend and thanks to them, we've managed to unify the Dream Collet and the Rose Pact into this. So, go ahead, Nozomi."

The moment she stares at the unified item, she asked him again. "Are you still very certain that it will work? It may backfire on me."

After making a brief sigh, Coco unveiled his explanation. "Well, you deserve a very special gift. Especially on your birthday."

Everybody stood very silent, when they fully understood Coco's plan to help out Nozomi and then, they all said in unison: "EH?!"

Nozomi's eyes filled with shock, upon Coco's reason for helping her out. "Coco, y-you did this...on my birthday?"

He answered with a slight nod. "That's right. You said so yourself that you haven't thought of her, since the Mirror Kingdom incident and the Land of Sweets until this very moment." That's when Coco caught sight of Komachi placing her heads on her chest and feeling distant.

Nuts also noticed it and asked his girlfriend. "Komachi, what's wrong?"

"I...Uh...". She turns her head away. "I'm really sorry."

"Out with it, Komachi. What's gotten into you?" informed Nuts.

Much like Coco, she also revealed her reason, while hiding her face. "N-Nozomi-san isn't the only person that was thinking about her dark twin, but...same with me."

"K-Komachi? Are you serious?" cried Karen.

The green-haired novelist pressed on. "Y-Yes and I apologize. It was when I was combing my hair, a couple of days ago. After I was finished brushing my hair and putting it away by closing the mirror, I saw Dark Mint. It freaked me out for a moment and when I rubbed my eyes, it was only my reflection. So, I suppose that much like Nozomi-san, I also didn't think about my dark self until recently. I tried to save her during Shadow's invasion, but her fate was already sealed."

"Oh, dear" says Urara sadly.

Karen walked up to her close friend and hugged. "You had me worried but I'm glad that you told us the truth."

"Th-Thank you, Karen."

Nuts also acknowledged Komachi's troubles with a slight smile.

Rin pats her best friend on the back with some encouragement. "Now that everything has been settled, make your wishes come true, Nozomi."

"Are you sure, Rin-chan?"

The red-haired gal nodded and so does everybody else with smiles on their faces.

With a renewed vigour in her heart, she walks up to the Rose Collet and opens up the lid. By taking a deep breath, she grants her first wish. "I wish for Dark Pretty Cure 5 to be fully revived."

As a result, the Rose Collet shined very brightly across the room and it made everyone gasp in total bewilderment. Then, in a matter of seconds, it began to float in the air and zoomed outside of Natts House.

"Come on, everyone!" shouted Nozomi.

With a nod of their heads, they all headed outside to see where the Rose Collet had took off. As soon as they've found it, it was floating higher in the air until it began to glow a few times and then, it happened. A huge beam of light shot from out of the Rose Collet and landed on the green grass by radiating everyone.

Luckily, they all covered their eyes before they got blinded by the bright light.

Several minutes later, it subsided and the Rose Collet that was floating earlier was about to fall until Coco caught it in his hands.

But at the same time, he turns around to see a very astonishing sight on the ground: Dark Pretty Cure 5 have been successfully revived!

That made Nozomi feel very happy to reunite with her dark twin. "Amazing! It actually worked!"

Not only was she ecstatic, but so did Komachi. "Same here."

Syrup is seeing his girlfriend's dark counterpart for the very first time. He couldn't believe that she was facing her evil twin, during her visit to Princess Land and then the Mirror Kingdom. "So that's her duplicate? Remarkable."

"I wonder how my siblings would react of seeing another me but without her Dark Cure form" thought Rin.

For Kurumi, on the other hand, she made a brief sigh. "Somehow, I feel both relieved and ashamed that I don't have my own reflection."

Karen questioned Nozomi's unusual wish after glancing at her dark self. "I don't think it was such a good decision, Nozomi. They might have a relapse and act far worse than before. What's really the point of bringing them back?"

"Didn't I already told you? I haven't thought about Dark Dream until I was daydreaming about her. Still, this might just be my best birthday gift ever! All that's left now is a really big cake!" says Nozomi happily.

"Don't count on it, twerp!" says a booming new voice coming from the sky above.

Once they all looked up, the clear blue sky had immediately turned dark with flash of lightning and black clouds with roaring thunder.

"Huh? A storm?" wondered Rin.

"No, that's no ordinary storm. Something has appeared!" told Coco.

"Eh? On a day like this?" cried Nozomi.

"But, we've already defeated our previous enemy, months ago. There's no way that we have to deal with another one" informed Kurumi.

"Unfortunately, it's true and...its presence is very terrifying" notified Nuts to the entire group.

Right after his brief notice, a shaft of lightning came down from the sky and it made a big bang on the green grass area.

Then, as everyone clutched their chests, the unknown entity revealed itself to them after the dust was cleared. It has tanned skin with blue and purple medium long hair, dark red eyes, large purple gauntlets on its shoulders with light blue lining, a purple and blue gem on its centrepiece armour, black gauntlets on each wrist, purple leather belt with black buckle wrapped around its waist, dark blue pants and purple boots. By taking a deep breath and clenching its fists, he made a mischievous grin. "So glad of me to drop by."

Feeling very shaken of its sheer presence, Coco asked him. "Who...Who are you?"

He introduced himself. "Well, since I've made quite an entrance, I will tell you all who I am. My name is Tidus. I'm the unification of Shadow and Mushiban."

"You're what?!" cried Nuts.

"Oh, no! Not another unified enemy!" added Kurumi.

"Indeed I am, miss. Does the name, Manticore, mean anything to you?" he asked them.

"Huh? Yes but, why are you bringing that up?" thought Syrup.

"It was she that resurrected our souls within the realm of darkness and then, we became one entity. Long before you defeated her, several months ago" answered Tidus.

By understanding his presence, Coco yells back at him. "We won't let you to take over the Mirror Kingdom and the same goes for the Land of Sweets!"

Rather than insulting his remark, Tidus laughed. "I hate to disappoint you, young man but this isn't about dominance or destruction, it's all about revenge." He pumped his fist.

"Revenge? On whom?" wondered Nozomi.

Tidus scoffed and points his finger at her. "That would be you! You shall pay for ruining our plans! But since that we've combined together, you and your puny damsels stand no chance against us!" Before he could make the first strike, he noticed something in the distance and much to his disgust, he recognizes the group known as Dark Pretty Cure 5. "No way! Y-You...You brought them back? Why?!"

Nozomi looks over her shoulder and replies back to him. "I won't tell you!" She sticks out her tongue at him.

Tidus narrowed his eyes. "Then, I will beat the living daylights out of all of you!" He cracks his knuckles.

"Everyone, let's do this!" called Nozomi to her colleagues by nodding their heads in pure agreement.

By flipping up their CureMos, they recited their transformation sequence in unison, 'Pretty Cure Metamorphose!'. Just like from before, they introduce themselves in their heroine forms.

Dream: "The great power of hope, Cure Dream!"

Rouge: "The red flame of passion, Cure Rouge!"

Lemonade: "The fragrance of bursting lemon, Cure Lemonade!"

Mint: "The green earth of tranquility, Cure Mint!"

Aqua: "The blue spring of intelligence, Cure Aqua!"

All: "The power of hope and the light of the future! Our five hearts fly high with splendor! Yes! Pretty Cure 5!"

Much like Nozomi and company, it was Kurumi's turn by transforming into Milky Rose. "Skyrose Translate!" Afterwards, she recites her dialogue.

Milky Rose: "The blue rose is my secret emblem! Milky Rose!"

"I shall succeed to where Shadow and Mushiban could not: defeating the Pretty Cure! Bring it on!" shouted Tidus.

The Pretty Cure 5 and Milky Rose all sprung into action. In-spite of the number disadvantage, he was able to not only avoid their kicks and punches, but also counter back at them. First was Cure Aqua by grabbing her dark blue ponytail from behind and throwing her hard back first against the tree. She was then rendered unconscious.

"Aqua!" cried Milky Rose upon seeing her close friend getting hammered. "Why, you little..." Rather than utilizing her Metal Blizzard attack, she comes charging at him but was unable to connect any punches and kicks after he assaulted Cure Aqua earlier.

As he restrains her arms, he head-butts her and while she stumbled, he knees her in the stomach and by carrying her on her shoulder, he leaped high into the air and as he lands on his feet, he performs a backbreaker on her that made her scream and then, he slams her hard on the ground. He then focuses on his next prey: Cure Mint.

By seeing her enemy coming towards her, she tries protecting herself with her technique by covering her arms. "Pretty Cure Emerald Saucer!"

Tidus slams his hardened fist onto her emerald green saucer and within seconds, it began to crack until it was immediately shattered and Cure Mint was blown away by the sheer impact.

"Mint!" Cure Lemonade couldn't believe that he was able to break through her protective shield with only his fists and as she sees him coming at her, she tries to restrain him with her own attack. "Pretty Cure Prism Chain!" She throws her yellow chains at him, but much to her dismay, he caught them with his hands and starts spinning her around in the air for a couple of minutes until he throws her right back at Syrup, Coco and Nuts. Just like with the other two, they were also rendered out-cold.

"Lemonade! Pretty Cure..." cried Cure Rouge and as she tries to counterattack with her special move, he cancels her out by punching her in the gut and performing a swift kick to her face that sent her back first against the wall of Natts House.

"Everyone!" By glancing at her best friends manhandled from their fearsome foe, her purple eyes were filled with anger. "I will never forgive you for hurting my friends!"

"I strongly disagree! It is you who shall pay!" told Tidus.

During their melee, one of the members of Dark Pretty Cure 5 began to murmur and sure enough, it was Dark Dream. She reopened her dark purple eyes and upon feeling her head, she looks at her hands. To her surprise, she was brought back to life. "I-I've returned!"

Not only was she perplexed, but so did the rest of her comrades.

"H-Hey, where are we?" thought Dark Rouge.

"I have no idea" replied Dark Lemonade.

Dark Mint gasped in shock upon seeing their light counterparts down and possibly out. "Hey, look!"

With their eyes widened in shock, Cure Aqua, Milky Rose, Cure Mint, Cure Lemonade, Cure Rouge and even the fairies were all knocked out except for Cure Dream. However, she's getting pounded by an evil individual.

"Who's that?" wondered Dark Aqua.

While the Dark Pretty Cure 5 watch helplessly regarding this new enemy, Cure Dream kept on trying to fight back but due to the souls of Shadow and Mushiban that increased both its speed and strength, she was unable to utilize any of her special attacks.

By connecting his latest punch onto her chin, it sent her flying into the air until he teleported above her, clasped his hands together into a hammer and strikes her in the back of her head. Thus, she was sent crashing down hard and nearly next to her colleagues as she tries reaching out to Milky Rose but collapsed.

Tidus laughs in triumphant. "Now, it's time for your funeral!" He summons a dark magenta pulse saber in his hands and looking to finish off the leader of Pretty Cure 5. "DIE!"

Dark Dream's eyes flashed in vigour and as she remembers a familiar scene that transpired in the Mirror Kingdom during her confrontation with Shadow, she risked her life to save Cure Dream and it cost her crystal life-force. Not wanting to take the same chance, she quickly notifies her teammates. "Hurry, everyone! We must save her!"

"B-But..." Dark Rouge's sentence gets cut off by Dark Dream's plead.

"NOW!"

With his prey in sights and not moving an inch, he looks to stab her through the chest with his pulse saber. But just as he was about to claim victory over his arch-nemesis, he gets bounced back by a mysterious large barrier and it cancelled out his sword strike onto Cure Dream. He felt very angry after someone interfered him. "Who the hell did that?!"

"That would be us!" says a new group voice.

Not only did he gasp in shock, but so did all of Cure Dream's friends after they've managed to recover from their wounds and witness a very startling scene: the Dark Pretty Cure 5 have formed a protective barrier and it saved Cure Dream's life.

"Oh, my god!" cried Cure Rouge.

"I don't believe it! They saved her!" informed Cure Lemonade.

"How wonderful!" added Cure Mint with tears in her eyes.

"This is amazing!" says Cure Aqua in astonishment.

As Milky Rose looks on in bewilderment, she slowly got back on her feet and consoled next to Cure Dream by calling out her name. "Dream! Dream, wake up! Please respond!"

It didn't take long for her to recuperate and by reopening her purple eyes, she sees Milky Rose smiling. "M-Milky Rose." She felt even more surprised to see her dark counterpart and the rest of Dark Pretty Cure 5 saving her from Tidus's oncoming sword attack. Tears reappeared in her eyes and as she walked up to her revived dark clone, she wraps her arms around her neck in a warm embrace. "Welcome back, my old friend."

Although reluctant at first, Dark Dream smiled brightly and wrapped her arms around Cure Dream's waist. "Me too."

Right after that, the remaining members of Pretty Cure 5 also joined in and reunite with their dark clones. So does Coco, Nuts and Syrup.

"I never would've thought that they help us."

"Yes, indeed."

"I still can't believe of what I'm seeing."

After breaking up the hug, Cure Dream clasped her hand with Dark Dream's and made a strong suggestion. "Now that you're back and saved my life, let us fight together."

Dark Dream nodded. "Absolutely!"

In a very strange twist, the butterfly brooch on Cure Dream's chest began to glow and so does everybody else's. "Wh-What's going on?"

If that wasn't surprising enough, it gets even more baffling when it aimed at Dark Dream's life crystal and shined on her entire body. The same goes for the rest of Dark Pretty Cure 5 as their original counterparts also aimed their butterfly brooches onto their life crystals as well. Before long, it radiated everyone just as they shielded their eyes.

A few minutes later, the strange ominous light had disappeared and then, the unthinkable has happened: Dark Pretty Cure 5 are now wearing Yes! Pretty Cure 5's original outfits and wearing Pinky Catches on their wrists during Nightmare's invasion.

Coco, Nuts and Syrup couldn't believe their eyes.

"A-Astonishing!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Holy smokes! How did this happen?"

Milky Rose explained her theory. "I know! Because that Dark Dream had saved Cure Dream with her companions, they solidified themselves as the newest members of Pretty Cure! We can still win this!"

Regardless of this new outcome, Tidus was still unamused and stood himself up. "What difference does it make, when I've already got this in the bag?!"

"Not so fast! You will never harm Cure Dream and her friends, ever again! In fact..." As she smiled, she recites her new dialogue and everyone else. "Allow me and my comrades to reintroduce ourselves. Ready?"

They all nod their heads in agreement with smiles on their faces.

"EH?!" says a startled Cure Dream.

Cure Dream Plus: "The extra great power of hope, Cure Dream Plus!"

Cure Rouge Plus: "The extra red flame of passion, Cure Rouge Plus!"

Cure Lemonade Plus: "The extra fragrance of bursting lemon, Cure Lemonade Plus!"

Cure Mint Plus: "The extra green earth of tranquility, Cure Mint Plus!"

Cure Aqua Plus: "The extra blue spring of intelligence, Cure Aqua Plus!"

All: "The extra power of hope and the extra light of the future! Our extra five hearts fly high with splendour! Yes! Pretty Cure 5 Plus!"

"P-Pretty Cure 5..." Cure Dream paused and unable to conclude her sentence as it allowed Cure Rouge to finish it for her.

"Plus?"

"I think, it sounds great" informed Cure Mint with a smile.

Cure Aqua raised her eyebrow in question. "Are you sure? They might relapse, once this issue has been dealt with."

Upon hearing her statement, Cure Aqua Plus replied back. "Don't be so sure...my twin sister."

"What did you say?!" says a shocked Cure Aqua.

"Like what she said, due to Cure Dream's wish of reviving us and having your power being transferred over with your DNA, we're now related as your twins" told Cure Mint Plus.

While Cure Dream and her colleagues, along with Nuts and Syrup are left very stunned, Coco glanced at the Rose Collet in his hands and smiled. "Looks like there was some side effects towards Nozomi's wish. It wasn't such a bad idea after all."

Tidus noticed the strange object from Coco's hands and made an evil grin on his face. "Now's my chance!" Taking advantage of Coco's distraction, he viciously punches him in the face hard that it sent him flying across the pavement until he was transformed back into his fairy form and obtaining the Rose Collet.

"Coco! Give that back!" yelled Nuts.

Rather than handing it over, Tidus retorted. "Forget it, punk!" Just like what he did to Coco, he kicks him in the stomach and tosses him over his head next to his fairy companion.

Cure Dream and Cure Mint felt horrified to see their beloved boyfriends getting thrashed by Tidus.

"No, Coco!"

"Nuts!"

He turns his attention to Syrup and as the mail carrier tries to run away, he catches him by the collar, lands an sheer uppercut to his chin and finishes him off by using a rabbit punch on the back of his head. Thus, Syrup was also knocked out-cold like the other two fairies.

"Syrup, no!" cried Cure Lemonade with tears in her yellow eyes.

"He's even got the Rose Collet!" told Milky Rose and by looking over at her fallen fairy comrades, she tries to avenge them but Cure Aqua cuts her off by placing her hands on her shoulder. "B-But, Aqua..."

"No excuses. We must retrieve it from him!"

As soon as Cure Dream and the entire Pretty Cure team try to prevent him from using the Rose Collet, he growled. "Incompetent bugs!" With a wave from his pulse saber, he summons a large diagonal blade projectile and it sent all of the girls several feet away from him. Then, he looks over at his prized possession. "What an interesting item." As he inspects it, he realizes that it bares a slight resemblance to the Dream Collet and calls out the Pretty Cure team. "If my hunch is right, it will grant the user any wish, is that true?"

Once everybody stared back at him while consoling their fairy friends, Cure Dream does her best to warn him. "Please, don't do it! You don't know what you're doing!"

"I know exactly what I'm going to do and it's not being immortal." With both hands clasped onto the Rose Collet and raising it above his head, he grants his own dreadful wish. "I wish...to be the most powerful demon in the world!"

All of the girls became very shocked of his awful request from the Rose Collet.

With a response from the Rose Collet, it shined down on him and later on, he lets go of it and drops down to the green grass as it's now been petrified into a grey-like statued condition. While the Pretty Cure look in pure disbelief, Tidus clutched his ribs and groaned heavily while a very dark red aura surrounds his entire body.

"Wh-What's happening to him?" asked Cure Rouge Plus.

"It looks like that he's changing, but into what?" wondered Cure Lemonade Plus.

In a matter of seconds, his whole body began to grow rapidly, while the clear blue sky starts to turn dark purple with flashes of lightning. During this, his appearance had also started to change. First, his whole skin was turning into dark purple fur as two large horns were formed on his forehead, his medium hair had lengthened while it turned black, his eyes turned dark yellow, his front teeth formed some fangs, his shoulder pads were torn off, the gem on its chest turned crimson red with its clothes torn off, his gauntlets were shattered and grew razor sharp claws on both hands, his pants and shoes were also torn by its furry legs and claws. With his new transformation complete and a loud roar, he calls down upon his prey in a very dark voice. "You cannot defeat me, Pretty Cure! I shall drown you all in your deepest despair!"

"Goodness gracious! Where's Cure Grace when I need her?" thought Cure Dream in her mind, while her forehead was already sweating bullets.

So does all of the Pretty Cure and fairies already feeling frightened of Tidus' new demonic form right after he granted the Rose Collet second and final wish.

Just as if things couldn't get any worse, he conjures up a large dark energy beam from his mouth and blasts them head-on as everyone immediately got blasted away by Tidus' newfound powers. They were all battered and bruised but still alive and kicking.

Tidus, in his new giant demon form, grins at his fallen enemies. But, it right away faded by witnessing Cure Dream slowly getting back to her feet but only up to her knees. "Oh, perfect! Just when I thought I'd won, she refuses to give in! I'll put her away for good!" He reaches out to her with his large hand and as Cure Dream finally stood up, she finds herself trapped within his massive grip.

She tries to break free but to no avail, due to his increased size and strength.

As everyone recovered from their previous beatdown, they all felt very shocked to see Cure Dream getting pressurized by Tidus.

"Dream! Let her go!" cried Cure Rouge.

"I think not, squirt!" By clasping his hands together, he squeezes Cure Dream very tightly and as she starts crying in pain from within Tidus' hands, Cure Dream Plus couldn't stand it any longer and decided to take matters into her own hands by freeing her.

As her new butterfly bow shined on her brooch, it followed into her left arm and as it reached to her fingertips, the Dream Torch Plus appeared and performs her newly acquired attack. "The extra great potential of a young girl's dream...Take this! Pretty Cure Crystal Shoot Plus!" Using this, she spins around that is surrounded by fragments of pure pink light and pointing it at Tidus's large black crystal on his chest. It then shot out a wave of pure pink crystals and upon feeling the pure purple light coming from Cure Dream Plus's attack, Tidus releases his grip on Cure Dream and gets pushed away before falling down on knee.

"Argh! My chest!"

In an instant, Cure Dream quickly recovers from Tidus' grip and as she landed on her feet, she sees Tidus clutching his chest. As she turns around, she felt very astonished to notice Cure Dream Plus holding out her original item. "Why, that's...the Dream Torch! How did you..."

Cure Dream Plus interjected. "I was really worried about you and it's actually the Dream Torch Plus. I didn't want to see you suffer anymore."

A small sparkle was shown on Cure Dream's purple eyes. "You still are my true friend."

During their heartfelt conversation, Cure Mint Plus interrupts them by notifying everybody regarding Tidus trying to recuperate. "Hey! Savor the moment for later! He's getting right back up!"

Cure Aqua Plus narrowed her eyes carefully and realizes that the large black crystal is really Tidus' weak spot. With a huge gasp, she replied. "That's it, then!"

"What is it?" asked Cure Aqua.

"If we can shatter the black crystal on his chest, we can defeat him once and for all."

"You're really sure about this?" thought Cure Rouge.

"Of course, it is! Let's combine our attacks all at once!" told Cure Rouge Plus with her suggestion and pumping her fist.

Without hesitation, Cure Dream Plus nods her head. "Alright! Let's do it!"

While Tidus got back to his feet, a light from three members of Pretty Cure 5 Plus shined on their new butterfly bows representing each of their main colours. Much like with Cure Dream Plus, it travelled to their right arms until it reached to their fingertips. They use their brand-new incantations after their light counterparts synchronized their butterfly brooches and became connected to each of them.

Cure Rouge Plus (holding her Rouge Tact Plus): "The extra powerful flame of a young girl's pure heart...Take this! Pretty Cure Rouge Burning Plus!"

Cure Lemonade Plus (holding her Lemonade Castanet Plus): "The extra bursting power of a sparkling girl...Take this! Pretty Cure Lemonade Shining Plus!"

Cure Aqua Plus (holding her Aqua Ribbon Plus): "The extra rock-crushing power of a young girl's outpourings...Take this! Pretty Cure Aqua Tornado Plus!"

With their combined attacks, they were able to penetrate Tidus' large black crystal as it makes a few cracks onto it. Regardless, he refuses to give in and scoffed at them. "I must...admit that I'm impressed with your...improved tenacity. But, it's still not enough to beat me!" Once again, he opens up his mouth to fire another dark energy beam right into everyone's path.

Now, it was Cure Mint Plus' turn by utilizing her Mint Leaf Plus in order to protect her newfound friends. "The extra Earth tremors of a young girl's anger...Take this! Pretty Cure Mint Shield Plus!" By raising her arms, the leaves on her new item glowed and it produced a powerful shield that expanded nearly everybody around her; just in time to block Tidus' second dark energy beam from out of his mouth.

Because of Cure Mint Plus neutralizing his attack, Tidus tries to charge up his next move but kept on breathing due to its overuse.

Cure Dream immediately took full notice of this. "He's used up nearly all of his energy and he might recharge himself. Coco!"

He nods his head in agreement.

Coco: "Power for Pretty Cure!"

Right after Coco's calling, the Cure Fleurets were sent to the Pretty Cures and they recite their incantations.

Cure Dream: "Crystal Fleuret, the light of hope!"

Cure Rouge: "Fire Fleuret, the light of passion!"

Cure Lemonade: "Shining Fleuret, the effervescent light!"

Cure Mint: "Protect Fleuret, the light of tranquility!"

Cure Aqua: "Tornado Fleuret, the light of intelligence!"

Later on, Milky Rose summons up her own special attack.

Milky Rose: "Let burst the shining rose and envelop the evil power! Milky Rose Metal Blizzard!"

After she launches her blue rose decorated in metallic icing, the five Cures narrate their incantation by crossing their Cure Fleurets and raise them, while forming five red roses that signify each of their colours.

Cure Dream: "Let our five lights..."

Cure Rouge, Cure Lemonade, Cure Mint and Cure Aqua: "...be ridden by courage!"

Everybody: "Pretty Cure Rainbow Rose Explosion!"

By thrusting their Fleurets forward, the coloured roses are shot and immediately combined together into one grand rose in the form a rainbow. Then, as it merges with the Metal Blizzard, the grand rose shines even brighter in pure blue and heading into Tidus' path.

As soon as he saw the grandest rose, it flies above him before falling down and annihilating him. But once the smoke was cleared, everyone stood there completely awestruck of witnessing a very disturbing sight: Tidus has survived the ordeal but only stood up by one knee. However, many more cracks were developed on his black crystal.

"Impossible! He withstood our combined attack!" cried Cure Dream.

"What do we do, now?" asked Milky Rose.

Cure Dream Plus countered. "Step aside. Let us finish this."

Uncertain as to what she meant, Cure Dream and everybody else blinked their eyes in confusion. That is, it quickly turned into shock by recognizing a very familiar item.

"No way!" cried Coco.

"Is that what I think it is?" thought Nuts.

In that very moment, all five members of Pretty Cure 5 Plus placed their respective items into the Dream Torch Plus and were immediately sent into their latest item: the Symphony Set Plus - a duplicate of Yes! Pretty Cure 5's original attack during Nightmare's invasion. Once Cure Dream Plus grasps the completed Symphony Set Plus, it becomes empowered and grew into the size of a jet. Then, Cure Dream Plus recites part of the incantation by holding out her hand, followed by the four remaining girls as they recite theirs.

Cure Dream Plus: "Together with the extra power of dreams and hope..."

Cure Mint Plus & Cure Aqua Plus: "Join with these extra five lights..."

Cure Rouge Plus & Cure Lemonade Plus: "Here and now!"

Everybody: "Pretty Cure Five Explosion Plus!"

By completing their latest incantations, the lights representing each of their new respective colours cover them from above and bring them on board the Symphony Set Plus. As the Rainbow Light appeared from the wings of the item, it dashes through the sky by gaining butterfly wings of energy and colliding into Tidus' crystal at pure velocity. Therefore, Tidus was ultimately purified as Pretty Cure 5 Plus safely landed on their feet while leaving rainbow butterflies. As a result of Tidus' defeat, the sky had returned back to normal and Cure Dream jumped for joy, along with everyone else.

"We did it!"

Coco approached to Cure Dream after a very fought battle. "I'm really glad that you're safe, Dream."

She nodded with a bright smile on her cute face. "Thanks."

In the midsts of things, Cure Dream Plus felt flattered upon seeing Coco's handsome face and bright smile. Feeling curious, she walked up to them and asked. "D-Dream, who is he? He looks so...attractive." A small hint of redness was shown on her cheeks.

"This is Coco, the future king of Palimer Kingdom and my boyfriend" told Cure Dream with her introduction.

"Nice to meet you, again". He smiles at her.

"S-Same here."

They weren't the only ones that occurred between them. The same goes for Cure Mint and Cure Lemonade by introducing their fairy boyfriends (in human forms) towards their twins as well.

Their cheeks also had a small hint of redness.

"Oh, he's so dashing."

"I totally agree."

Both Nuts and Syrup felt very unsure of themselves regarding their girlfriends' clones already falling head over heels.

That's when they were all briefly interrupted by Coco's announcement. "Ah-hem. Excuse me but, we have a birthday to celebrate." He turns to Cure Dream, while smiling.

She smiled back at him, in return.

But for Pretty Cure 5 Plus, they were all left puzzled as to what he meant.

An hour later at Natts House, everyone was gathered around a very long table with a wide variety of food and drinks for Nozomi's birthday. Before it got underway, Coco, Nuts and Syrup explained to Pretty Cure 5 Plus regarding Nozomi's wish from the Rose Collet that was used by Nozomi.

Therefore, they each acquired new names in their civilian forms after receiving their own Pinky Catch Plus devices on their wrists during their fight against Tidus, along with sharing their twins' clothing. For Cure Dream Plus, she is now known as Niko, translated as benevolence. Next is Cure Rouge Plus, now known as Rui, which translates as Affectionate. For Cure Lemonade Plus, she's identified as Utano, translated as Field of Songs. As for Cure Mint Plus, she will be recognized as Kazuko, which translates as Child of Peace. And finally, Cure Aqua Plus was given the name, Kimmi, meaning Righteous.

Nozomi felt extremely happy with not only a huge birthday cake being presented to her by Coco, but also reunited with her dark counterpart who is now her new twin sister. Soon, all of her friends sang 'Happy Birthday' to her and she shed tears of pure joy. She walked up to her newfound twin and hugged her warmly. "I'm really glad to have you back, Niko."

"Me too, N-Nozomi."

That also happened with Komachi and Urara also embracing with their twins.

Her birthday became a sensational success and with everybody together as one, the Pretty Cure 5 team has become more stronger than ever.
