Author's note

This chapter is longer than I would like it to be. I am actually surprised with the number of words this chapter got when I finish. My chapters is usually shorter and I promise this is most likely one time thing.

Also thanks to a kind reviewer, I adjust this chapter according to the suggestion. I actually wrote in suggested style a long time ago but was told to stop. Either Way, hopefully it's easier to read in this style and I did it correctly.

Chapter 2: Become Precure, Nijino Yume

Hibiki and the girls stand in front of the Four Star Academy. They check the address they looked upon their phone then looks at each other.

Hibiki gulps then say "This looks like the place but… How do I say this, very celebrity-like school."

Kanade follows up "It certainly looks like a prestige school. I have never seen a school this big."

Ellen comments as well "It's hard to believe there is a school this big for idols."

Ako however, isn't fazed by the school and just walk in as the rest are in their awe "Let's go, this is nothing comparing to the castle. Though…" Ako then checks the box and see Hummy still sleeping "How long is she going to sleep?"

Hibiki then walks up next to Ako then bends forward to her height and looks at Hummy "I'm sure she is tired from all of this stuff."

Ako nod and closes the box to let Hummy rest. Around the same time, the security guard walks over and stops them. The security guard holds one arm out.

"Stop, you girls are not students here right? Only students and those with permission can enter."

Hibiki fumbles her words in panic "Ahh well, we are noth! Ah…" She starts to cry in pain as she bit her tongue. Kanade and Ellen then try to calm Hibiki down while the security guard begins to look at them suspiciously. Ako then moves in front and stand between the guard and others.

She then tells the guard their reason to be at the school "We are here looking for something like this." Ako holds up the Live Module and continues "We think someone from this school picked it up."

The guard looks at the module and immediately response "Hmm? Is this? I see you girls saw the post. I'll let her know so just stay here. The guard then leaves them alone. Ako then turns around looking at Hibiki. All Hibiki says is "Sorry." The four of them calms down and start discussing how they will talk to the idol Yume.

Throughout the school ground, Nijino Yume is jogging. "Aikatsu! Aikatsu!" Those words repeat as she continues to jog. After coming to a stop, her Aikatsu Mobile rings. She looks at the message she got and is surprised that someone already came over to Four Star Academy to claim the item she found.

"This is fast, did they perhaps… Well, it's fine. I'll know once I meet them. Alright then, One two, Aikatsu! Aikatsu!" Yume then starts jogging towards the school gate.

As Yume jogging closer to the gate while saying Aikatsu over and over, she sees four girls talking to each other. She turns and moves towards them as it is obvious they are the ones looking for her.

"Aaaikatsu! Ha… ha… That feels good." As Yume stops close to Hibiki and others.

Hibiki looks at Yume and mutter "Cute…"

Yume heard the compliment and respond with a smile "Thank you. Are you girls here to get this?" Yume then pulls out the Live Module from her pocket.

Ako then points at it in a hurry "The Live Module! It got color and it's rainbow?"

Yume then makes a dry laugh and apologize "Ehehe… Sorry, I don't know why but it suddenly turns into like this. I'm really sorry, I'll pay it back somehow. Ah, could it be something very important?"

Kanade notice Yume starts to think she is in trouble and put a stop to it "Don't worry, it's alright. Rather, it's good that the Live Module got a color."

Ellen then notice it "Ah, could it be? A precure like us?"

Ako looks serious and nods "Very likely."

The conversation derail and confuses Yume "I'm sorry what? Live Module? Precure?"

Ako then looks at Hibiki and others "Since she got the Live Module, I think it's better if we explain everything to her."

Hibiki and others agree and when Ako is about to explain, there is a movement from the box Ako carry. Before Ako is able to hide the box, Hummy opens the box and stretch. After feeling refreshed, Hummy talks.

"That was a good nap-nya. Eh? Is that a Live Module? Amazing, we already found a precure!" Hummy continues to talk while Hibiki and other sighs with Yume staring at the talking cat.

"The cat, is talking. Ah, is it a vantrolog?" said while looking amused

Hummy however immediately deny it "It's not! I'm a fairy from Major Land-nya."

Yume not believing Hummy and go along then pokes her "Major Land? Sounds interesting, where is... Eh? This feeling… real?"

Hummy jumps angrily and retorts "That's what I have been saying-nya!"

Ellen then steps in "Uhmmm, there is a good reason for this and we might need your help."

Yume looks at Ellen and nods "Uhmm, I don't know if I can help yet and I don't really have a lot of time." While looking troubled, Ako follows up.

"We know but it can't be anyone else. Can you at least hear us out?" said with a serious look.

Yume thinks for a bit and nods "Alright, but let's talk somewhere else and I got the place just for it." Hibiki and others question it but still follow Yume.

In a garden, the girls seat down except Ellen leaning towards a pillar with her arms crossed. Yume serves some tea for her guests but they aren't drinking it. Rather, they look nervous. Yume notices and giggles.

"Hehe, you girls are like me when I first came here. Please just relax, it's not that big of a deal." said by Yume, trying to calm them.

Kanade takes a deep breath and responds "Sorry, it's just the tea served by a world top idol is kind of… Heavy."

Yume loosens up and try to be more friendly "Well, I don't know. I have a strong rival after all."

Hibiki then asks "Rival for the top idol. What kind of person is she?"

Yume then thinks and try to explain "Rola is… Hmm…"

However, Ellen cuts in and pushes for self-introduction "Well, while you are on that. We should introduce ourselves."

Hibiki then kicks right back in "Oh! Let's do it. I'm Hojo Hibiki. You can just call me Hibiki. I like playing sports and my favorite food are sweets."

Kanade squints her eyes and stares at Hibiki. She interrupts and follows up with her own introduction "You mean you are just a glutton. Anyways, I'm Minamino Kanade. I like cooking and not like this glutton here."

Hibiki is shock from Kanade's introduction "Uhhh, Kanade~ That really hurts my maiden heart."

Kanade then gets angry and point finger at Hibiki. Then with every word, Hibiki is getting pushed back "Maiden heart? What kind of maiden would sneak into the kitchen and devour a whole cake? On top of that, you ran away without wiping your mouth! Can you answer me? In what country a girl like that can be called a maiden?"

Kanade's word pierce Hibiki like needles and at the end, she can't answer her question. Hibiki was left with no choice but to say a simple "Sorry!" then runs. Kanade then chases after Hibiki around the garden. Yume is astonished by how close they are.

"They are really close aren't they." Yume says while looking at them running around.

Ellen then apologizes and follow up with her own introduction "Sorry, they get like this from time to time. Ah, I'm Kurokawa Ellen. For me, I guess I enjoy singing and rock music."

Yume is excited from hearing Ellen's introduction "Oh, I would love to see your performance. We don't have many rock music idol here so I kind of miss it since Rola moved."

Ellen puts her hands in front of her and shakes to deny doing a performance "No no, I don't think I'm that good yet and I bet this friend of yours is much better."

Yume shakes her head "That's true but you don't know until you try." Yume tries to encourage Ellen then notices Ako who is sitting quietly "So next is you?"

Ako nods "I'm Shirabe Ako. I guess it would be appropriate to introduce myself as the princess of Major Land. I also like singing."

Yume blinks and looks at Ako "Ako?"

Ako is confused from Yume's reaction "Yes?"

Yume quickly recovers and make an awkward smile "Ahhaha, sorry one of my friends also names Ako. I wasn't expecting to meet someone with the same name."

Hibiki and Kanade finally stop and Hibiki comments "Now that's interesting. Ako and Ako, maybe you should try being an idol too."

Ako then looks at Hibiki "Really? I think Hibiki would fit being an idol instead. You got a loud voice and is athletic too."

Kanade giggles and follow up with Ako "Not to mention your singing has improved a lot lately."

Hibiki withdraws and makes up an excuse "No no, I don't think those frilly idol clothes would look good on me. Besides, I think Kanade would be the most idol like person among us." Ako and Ellen both nod in agreement. Yume then thought of something and checks her phone. After a bit, Yume smile and shows Hibiki and others her phone with an event displayed.

"Since you all think of each other worthy to be an idol, why don't the four of you try this?"

They move in for a closer look together and all says the title of the event together in surprise "New Amateur Idol Audition?"

Yume nods and smiles "Yes, I'm actually going to be one of the judges and I think you girls are perfect for this. I already entered the four of you by the way."

Hibiki and the others in unison again "Eh?"

Yume then stands up "We should get going then. The audition is starting in two hours."

Hummy then raise her paw and asks "What about explaining the Precure and Live Module-nya?"

All the girls look at Hummy "Ah…"

While on their way to the audition in a car, the girls explain precure to Yume. They tell her everything they experience: Major Land and Minor land, Ellen's past and Negatone, the notes and Noise, and the Live Module. Yume just simply listen to everything they say. At the end, she questions them.

"So this world is in danger and I'm supposed to be this precure? But I don't have a G-clef Emblem." Yume wonders thinking hard about it.

Hummy then jumps onto Yume's laps "Don't worry-nya. I'm sure it is just sleeping inside you-nya."

"Ah, yeah." Yume hasn't get used to Hummy and gives a simple response. The car then stops as they arrive at the location of the audition. Yume put up a disguise and the girls get off the car. The audition is taking place in an open venue with a stage set up in the middle of a park. Yume and the rest eventually partway as Yume walks away to meet host and other judges.

In the waiting room, many girls are practicing or chatting. Hibiki and others are no exception. However, one girl caught Ellen's eye.

"Hey, isn't that girl acting weird? She seems way too nervous." said as Ellen is worried.

Kanade looks and agrees "You are right but… Hibiki isn't much better." Kande turns back and looks at Hibiki being nervous to the point as if she is sweating a waterfall. Ako looks at Hibiki and giggle. Ellen couldn't help but do the same and three of them end up laughing.

"Ahh wait, thi… this isn't funny!" Hibiki retorts but after a while, she laughs a bit as well.

A man wearing a business suit stands on top of a tall stage light, looking down at the people. He tongue clicks then focus at the waiting room. As if he can see through the building, he sees a girl cloak with a purple aura.

"Hmmm, she will do. There isn't a precure that can fight against us in this world after all. Anti-Dream! Awaken, Negadol!" say as he reaches out his hand and shoots a beam of black energy at the girl. The girl's clothes begin to change into one that is similar to what a cute type idol would wear but it is black and sinister. The purple lining also forms around her eyes and when she opens her eyes, she walks out of the room. Hibiki and other looks at each other and nod then follow her.

On the stage, as the staff is finishing with the preparation. The girl in the black dress walks to the center of the stage. Yume sees her and walks closer.

"Are you alright? The audition is going to start soon so can you wait just a little longer?" Yume said with a smile but the girl doesn't react to her. Yume gets worried and just when she tries to touch the girl, she looks at Yume and Yume is blown away with a force. All the staff turns over and some rushes to Yume to help her up. A helping staff asks Yume.

"Yume, are you alright? What just happened?" As he pulls Yume up.

Yume gets back up and looks at the girl "I don't know, but… something feels weird."

The girl then speaks "Idols… There is no way. All of this is no good at all." The girl then takes a deep breath and sings out a note "Laaaa…" The sound echos and her purple aura spread out as if it is part of the sound wave. Everyone that is hit by the sound begins to lose motivation and their eyes lose its color. Yume is able to resist while covering her ears. When Yume looks around, all the staff stops working and mutter words they normally won't say. Most of them saying negative lines like "Idols are worthless." or "Stage is a waste."

When Hibiki and the rest arrive at the stage, they see all the staff standing like zombies. The girls hold out their Live Module and ready to transform.

Hibiki then tells everyone to transform "That must be the new enemy. Let's go, everyone!" The girls nod and begin their transformation.

They transform into their precure form and all together says "Shine! Our Dream Suite! Suite Live Precure!"

Rhythm then looks at Melody and ask "What was that?"

Melody shakes her head and shrugs "I don't know." She then looks at Beat and Muse. However, they do not have any idea why they say it differently. Beat then notices the girl has turned and faces them.

Beat cautiously tell the girls "Everyone, she is coming."

"All live and idols should just disappear. Laaaa…." The Negadol, the girl, blast the sound at the precures. However, they spread out and begin to attack from all side. Due to their experience, they quickly knock the Negadol off the ground and sent her flying. While the Negadol is trying to get up, the four stands together and ready their finisher.

"Precure, Passionato Harmony!" A giant G-Clef forms and shoots out a golden beam at the Negadol. The Negadol takes on the attack but when the attack ends, the Negadol gets up as if nothing happens. The precures are surprised and immediately feel the danger.

Melody then respond to the situation "Passionato Harmony had no effect? No way."

The man in suits then jumps down and land close to the Negadol.

He looks at the precures and says "I see, with that much power. It's no wonder that useless beast lost. However, music alone won't save this girl. Why don't you girls just give up and surrender?"

Beat then questions it "Music alone won't work? Then what else can we do?"

Muse then ready herself once more "We just have to keep trying!"

Negadol then jumps in and start attacking with punches and kicks. The attacks are simple but the precure couldn't end to fight. It is slowly making them exhausted.

During this time, Yume is just standing on the sideline looking at everything that is happening.

"So it was all true, but this is just horrible." Yume says as she looks around. She then starts thinking if there is anything she can do to help. However, since she doesn't know how to transform, turning into a precure is impossible. Yume keeps thinking but at the end, the only thing she can do it make a live performance.

"I guess there is only one thing I can do. If music alone won't do, then maybe my live will." Yume grips her hand tight and resolves to make the best performance she can.

Yume rushes to the changing room. When she arrives, she looks at her cards and nod.

"Nijino Yume, ready to go!" Yume says and runs towards the changing device. She put in her student ID and the cards one by one. When it is down to the last card with wings, she says "Dresses can make everyone shine!" The device then opens up and Yume changes into her Rainbow Étoile Coord. Yume then jumps into the stage and start performing.

Everyone turns their attention to Yume as she begins to dance and sings Music of Dream. Yume's performance is dazzling and the precure can feel the energy from it. The one most impressed by it is Rhythm.

"Is she really about the same age as us? She is amazing." says as Rhythm looks with excitement.

However, the man in the suit doesn't agree and says "Amazing? A live like this? There is absolutely no power from it."

Yume who is performing is listening to the conversation as she performs. From the comment of the man, she had thought "Power? Is he talking about the mysterious power? But…" Yume takes a quick look at everyone, including the staffs. Everyone that is affected by the purple waves is not looking or listening to her performance at all. One thought goes through her head "As long as I don't rely on the power too much, using it once shouldn't be a problem." Yume feels desperate and decides to let loose her power. The stage soon filled with multiple rainbows and her dazzling aura grow exponentially. The precure become speechless at her performance and the man is looking surprised.

"That is, impossible. There shouldn't be anyone here with that power." The man says while looking angry.

Hummy, who is still in a box Muse carries, pops out and says "Cure Voice-nya."

Muse then asks Hummy "Cure Voice?"

Hummy then explains "It is the power said to be capable of bringing happiness to anyone who hears it-nya." Hummy then jumps out the box and lean on the stage. "Yume-nya! Now is the time-nya! Believe in the power of music and your live-nya!"

Yume looks at Hummy and nod. She starts to perform with all her heart. As a result, her voice starts to project golden waves. Everyone that is looking like zombies begins to recover and starts to cheer for Yume. At the end of her performance, Yume's Live Modules flies in front of her and her G-Clef awakens. Her G-Clef immediately went inside the Live Module and Yume subconsciously grabs it. Yume then says her transformation words. "Precure, Live Modulation!"

Yume begins transforming. Her precure outfit is very similar to her Première Berry Coord, but with a few minor changes. The top now has red shoulder piece with similar frills and her skirts are now shorter with the inner layer in rainbow stripes. Her sandals are also changed to high heel boots up to the ribbons on her legs.

When she finishes transforming, she says "Shine like the first star! Cure Diva!"
