Chapter 8 ------- The Fluff Chapter...
It didn't take long for all the Mews, and Ryou, to reach Purity Palace. In fact, it took around 3 hours. It was very late when Ryou and Retasu were dropped off in front of the ruinned palace. The stone walls were crumbled and vines warpped themself around pillars, probbly the only thing that kept the palace up right now. Retasu yawned, extremly tired after the long journey, and Ryou began walking up a staircase to the top of the tower. He could see a fire at the top, probbly the other Mews waiting for Retasu and now him. Then, suddenly, he say 3 girls land near the fire. There they were, the Mews... But... Where was Purin? None of them were short enough to be Purin...
It didn't take long for all the Mews, and You, to reach Purity Palace. In fact, it took around 3 hours. It was very late when Ryou and Retasu were dropped off in front of the ruined palace. The stone walls were crumbled and vines warped them self around pillars, probably the only thing that kept the palace up right now. Retasu yawned, extremely tired after the long journey, and Ryou began walking up a staircase to the top of the tower. He could see a fire at the top, probably the other Mews waiting for Retasu and now him. Then, suddenly, he say 3 girls land near the fire. There they were, the Mews... But... Where was Purin? None of them were short enough to be Purin...But it wasn't the other Mews... Well, kind of yes but not at the moment. It was only Purin and Tart at the beginning. Tart had made a fire and was cooking Purin some fish he' d gotten out of a stream. He really was becoming her slave, only she never forced him to do anything. He was just feeding her and treating her like a Princess... Well, she was a Princess... But a Prisoner Princess and he was treating her like she was family or a girlfriend...
The thought made him turn bright red and he shook his head. No no no! She was the enemy! Evil! Gross! Bad person! He HATED her!
"Tar-tar na no da? Your face is all red... I think you' ve been sitting in front of the fire too long na no da. Why don't I cook na no da?" Purin asked with a cheerful smile. Tart jumped back and Purin took that as a yes. So she shoved him aside, took a stick and began poking the fire. A stick cracked and ember floated high into the air, dissolving into the night sky.
Tart just sat there and watched her for a moment. What was with her? She was cooking for him! Before Purin knew it three shadows appeared in the air and 3 other mews landed in front of Tart and her. Purin yelped and fell back and Tart caught her, almost acting protective. Something was wrong with Tart. Very wrong.
"What's up?" Ichigo asked Purin. She had met Minto and Zakuro and gotten a ride from them. Hitch hiking was the way of the future. Purin stared and then smiled, turning around and pointing to Tart. "This is Prince Tart na no da! He kidnapped me na no da!" She declared happily. Zakuro snapped her whip and moved forward a bit, glaring at Tart who quickly backed up. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! They were going to kill him! He was about to give up when Purin changed the subject.
"Why are you here?!" Purin asked happily. The Mews all froze and exchanged confused looks. Retasu and Ryou suddenly reached the top and, having over heard the question, Retasu spoke up.
"Minto-chan told as to come... Hey, who' s she?" Retasu asked, looking to Zakuro. Minto smiled and hugged Zakuro, who didn't respond much. "This is Zakuro-oneesama! She's the Princess of Purity Palace now!"
"Wow... But... Purin-chan nya? Didn' t you get the message? Minto told us all to come using our pendents nya..." Ichigo said, looking very puzzled. There was only one time when the pendents didn' t work, and that was when they were broken. But Purin was transformed, so hers must be working...
"There must be Mew Aqua nearby." Ryou said firmly "The Mew Aqua blocks the signals of your pendents." All the girls stared at Ryou in confusion. Tart wasn' t a girl but, then again, he wasn't staring. He was trying to think up an attack plan when he heard about the Mew Aqua. Mew Aqua was a legend in his Kingdom so he instantly tuned his attention into the conversation. This could be useful information...
"Huh? Ryou?" Minto looked up, very confused. None of the Princesses knew anything about this "Mew Aqua" yet. Ryou sighed and looked over at Tart for a momment. "Well, Mew Aqua can purify things. It' s very powerful..." With that, Tart hovered into the air and cackled childishly.
"Ha! Silly Princesses! MY Kingdom is too powerful for yours, so deal! Mew Aqua won' t save you!" Tart flicked his finger and suddenly a tree grew up from the ground, splitting the palace in two. Minto, Zakuro, Ichigo, Ryou and Retasu were on one side and Purin on another.
"My brothers are coming and you' ll be sorry that you ever messed with up! Kierama anima, go!" Tart infected a couple animals and soon his bat and two wild cats were ready for battle. The cats leaped across the pit and one of them knocked Zakuro over but Zakuro slapped it with her whip and it backed off while Retasu and Mint summoned their weapons to get the 2nd cat off Ichigo.
"Onee-chan!" Purin cried, trying to get over to the other side. Tart grabbed her by the tail and yanked her back, chuckling. "You' re my prisoner! And I' m not through with you yet!"
"Yeeeeek!" Purin screeched in pain. She turned around and kicked Tart in the leg and he let go. She took the brief second to summon her Pudding Rings but Tart grabbed her by her monkey ears and yanked her back. She fell onto her back and sat up, trying to get Tart to let her ears go.
Meanwhile, Retasu and Minto hurried to get Ichigo free while Zakuro took care of the other cat and bat. "Ribbon Lettuce Rush!" Retasu screamed.
"Ribbon Mint Echo!" Minto joined her with an attack that forced the cat off. Zakuro tossed an attack at the cat and it flew through the air and Ichigo struggled to her feet, Strawberry Bell at hand.
"Ribbon Strawberry Check!" She screamed, curing the cat Zakuro had been fighting of Kierama Anima. The bat swooped down and knocked Ryou over and tried to get him to fall down the split in the Kingdom but Retasu snatched his hand and tried to pull him up.
"RETASUU!" Purin screamed "LOOK OUT NA NO DAAA!"
The cat picked itself up and ran over to Retasu, knocking her and Ryou down the split Palace floor. The split was like an Abyss and Retasu fell, still holding Ryou's hand, until Ryou grabbed part of the lower floor and swung them both up onto the safer level.
"RETASUUUU! ONEE-CHAAAN!!! RETASUUU!" Pruin screamed, her eyes hot with salty tears "TART YOU MEANY! LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!" She yelled, breaking away from him and turning to the bat that was now trying to kill the remaining Mews.
"Ribbon Pudding Ring INFERNO!" She yelled. The bat was trapped in yellow jelly but Purin wasn' t free for long. A vine pierced the ground and warpped Purin up so she couldn' t move just as Tart's two brothers showed up.
"I' ll take care of the cat..." The older brother, Pie, said coldly as he moved down to Ichigo. Ichigo screamed and did a back flip to get back and then attacked the frozen bat, making it dissolve, just as Zakuro tied the cat up for Ichigo to attack again. With both Kierama Anima out of the way the only thing left was the aliens.
Retasu moaned and sat up, her pendent glowing with weakness until she faded back into a regular princess. Ryou was next to sit up at look up at the battle. "C'mon, Retasu, there's a Mew Aqua in this Kingdom..." He said quickly as he ran off, trying to find a way to the top level. Retasu shook her head, shaking off a dizzy spell, and ran right after him. "Mew Mew Lettuce! Metamorphosis!" She yelled, trying to transform. It didn't work. "Mew mew Lettuce! Metamorphosis!" Nothing happened still.
"Ryou! I can't transform!" Retasu called to him as she put her pendent away "What's wrong?!"
"Don' t bother trying. I think the Mew Aqua is draining your power."
"Why?! The Mew Aqua in fairy tales don't do that!"
"Mew Aqua react to the DNA pattern of you Princesses. It' ll show itself when you express great emotion but otherwise it drains all power around to protect itself... This Mew Aqua must be---" Ryou was cut off as more vines and trees tore through the palace and formed cages around the Mews above. Retasu screamed as a vine warpped around her leg and she was pushed through a hole created by a tree growing up.
"RYOU! HELP MEEE!"
