Author's Note

Here is the second half portion. I do plan on doing a Christmas chapter. However, I do not know if I can get it done in time. For this chapter and the previous one, I would like to know if I should rework it. I did kind of rush these two chapters so I can do the Christmas chapter the way I want it to be.

Just in case I don't make it on time, Merry Christmas to all! Thanks for reading my story this far. Twelve chapters, I think this might be the furthest I had gotten with people that are still interested to read in any of my work. Thanks a lot!

Also, all four members of the suite precure got their song with this chapter. Hibiki' song is Sm!le L!nk. Kanade's song is Precious Things. Ako's song is... Overture~Overture of Friendship~. Then for Ellen in this chapter, it is Can't Stop My Heart Beat! All of the songs should be pretty easy to find on Youtube.

Update

Few dialogue and grammar fix

Chapter starting scene changed to match changes in the previous chapter's ending

Chapter 12: Rocking Beat, Can't stop my Heart Beat!

After a few days later, while Rola and Ellen are still working together, Rola says "Your song, it's really good. There are some areas that it needs work but it's going to be amazing."

Ellen responds "Thanks, but it is all because of your help. Rola, you really love rock. To be able to point out so many issues with my song."

Rola shakes her head "There is nothing wrong, it's just that it would be easier and better for live. We still need to get you your choreography and special appeal."

Ellen then immediately says "Actually, I have an idea for my special appeal already." Ellen then whispers to Rola and Rola gets excited.

Rola then says "That's really good! I love the idea, but we can't do with special appeal alone. "

Ellen nods "Right, I'll make sure I master the dance. It is my song after all."

Rola then holds her fist and shows Ellen to do her best "Of course, I'll make sure to help you at much as I can."

Ellen then bows to Rola "Thank you very much. I'll make sure to do my best."

A few days later, Rola is talking to Yume about Ellen and her new song.

Rola says "And then, Ellen thought the dance and singing should be more dynamic. In the end, it turns out to be something that's just too risky and she can get seriously injured."

Yume nods and looks as if she understands "I know, it's actually frustrating though. When your friends are ahead of you."

Rola looks at Yume with a disbelieving look "Yume, the one feeling frustrating should be me. Maybe at first, I was better. However, you catch up to me really fast and in the end, you even beat the perfect queen Elza."

Yume then waves her hands in denial "No way, Rola always seems to be a step ahead of me. All I did was just to keep up and be a good rival."

Rola then stares at Yume "Yume, that part of you really hasn't changed. You are the top idol that is known worldwide already."

Yume then says "If that's true, then I'm really happy to know."

Rola then pushes Yume's head with her finger "What, you don't believe me?"

Yume hurriedly answers "No, I do. I definitely believe you."

Rola then stares at Yume again the sighs "Alright, either way, Ellen's song should be done soon."

Yume nods with a smile "I can't wait to see Ellen's rock."

As Yume says that, a cry can be heard nearby "Negadol!" Then it follows up with a ground exploding.

Rola panically asks "Wha, what is going on?"

Yume doesn't answer and says "Rola, hold on. I'll go check it out." Yume runs off as soon as she finishes telling Rola.

Rola shouts "Yume, wait! I'll go too!"

Rola tries to chase after Yume. However, gound shakes again and Rola fell over. By the time she gets up and trying to look for Yume, she is already nowhere to be found.

At the same time when Negadol comes out, Ellen nearby the forest completing her song.

Ellen mutters "With this change here, it should be good. Hmm, I don't think there is a way to make it better. I should go check it with Rola just in case."

While on her way to see Rola, she sees a depressed girl. Just as she thought about helping her, Gyaku shows up.

Gyaku points at the girl and says "Hoo, interesting. Nice dream to have there. You became an idol so you can stand on the same stage with your favorite band. But that won't be happening! Anti-Dream! Awaken, Negadol!"

Ellen sees how Gyaku transforms the girl into a Negadol. However, the appearance is what shocks her the most. The Negadol's outfit is fitting for one that is in a rock band.

Meanwhile, Gyaku notices Ellen "You are, Cure Beat if I remember correctly. Good, since you are alone, I'll finish you first! Negadol!"

Ellen retorts "Finish me? Let's see if you can. Precure, Live Modulation!"

Ellen transforms into Cure Beat. The negadol then tries to attack her with a low kick. Beat jumps up and avoids it. Negadol doesn't let go of Beat even in the air. It creates a dark energy guitar. It then fires dark shadowy notes at Beat.

Beat then takes out her own guitar "Beat Barrier!" With her barrier, she manages to block the attack.

Beat lands safely and looks at the Negadol "That was... "

Gyaku then says "Guitar versus guitar. What is this crap? Well whatever, Negadol! Hurry up and finish Beat!"

Negadol then hobs back and does another attack "Negaaaa Rain!" The negadol fires a rain of dark arrows at Beat.

Beat sees it the attack coming at her "That's! Fine, It's a showdown! Beat Sonic!"

The two attacks crash against each other and eventually causes a huge explosion that even shakes the surrounding air. Both Negadol and Beat could hardly standstill. After the blast, the rest of the cures show up.

Melody asks Beat "Are you alright?"

Beat answers with a nod "Yes, but this one is tough. It actually got some unique attacks."

Gyaku then laughs and says "Of course, this is what happens when I truly do it seriously. Picking out a good vessel to be a Negadol was hard."

Kanade questions him "Vessel? What do you mean?"

Gyaku gladly answers "Parts of the Negadol's power depend on the vessel. The stronger their dream and will, the stronger the Negadol would be. Of course, it also depends on who is creating."

Yume then looks at him with disbelieve "You mean, you are using their dream to…"

Gyaku then answers with a smile "Yes, doesn't matter which world, we create Negadol from the vessel's dream.

Beat then asks "Is that how the AB...C works?"

Gyaku answers again but with a displeased look "Yes, but what's with the pause?"

Beat looks away. When she does, Gyaku looks at the other cure and they do the same.

Gyaku asks "What? I know we are enemies but what is with that reaction." Gyaku then randomly points and it is at Diva "Tell me!"

Diva tries to dodge the question "Well… It is just that abbreviation. It's like the song?"

Gyaku looks confused then recover "I don't get it but… Negadol, Go!"

The Negadol jumps forward, into the sky and attack with Nega Rain. The cures scramble and start attacking one after another. Melody runs towards where the Negadol is about to land. When it does, she hit the leg and makes it flip forward. Taking the chance, Rhythm grabs its arm and toss it over her shoulder.

When it lands, Muse attacks as well "Precure, Sparkling Shower!"

When the attack is about to hit, the Negadol uses the guitar as a shield to block it. When it does that, Beat is shocked by it.

When the smokes let up, Beat questions the Negadol "What was that? To use your guitar like that. You also love rock, don't you? I'll make you remember!"

At that moment, Beat's Live Module glows. She grabs it and looks at it with a surprise. The expectation, however, did not fail her. Cards came out of it and they are a cool blue colored coord. The dress has a short jacket and a miniskirt that has belts over it. There is also a pair of earrings that have the shape of a quarter rest note.

Beat smiles and says "This is... my dress. Here I go! Precure, Aikatsu Mode!"

Beat enters her Aikatsu Mode and soon, the music starts.

After a good guitar intro, she starts singing "I am the lead guitar player, whose sound shakes the soul. Warmth is sprouting within me, connecting you and me."

Melody and others are listening to her song and are amazed by it. The Negadol's memories show up and slowly remember her dream.

Rhythm then looks at Melody "Melody, chance!"

Melody nods and the two together "Precure, Passionato Harmony!"

While the battle is coming to an end, the sound got several people's attention. Rola too was no exception. However, because she was looking for Yume, she is not looking out of a window like nearly everyone else. She comes out of a backyard resting area and heard two girl shouts "Passionato Harmony!"

Rola looks at the golden energy hitting the Negadol and purifying it. Soon after, a man says something and disappears. After the man left, the damaged ground recovers as if nothing had happened.

Then out of the five girls, one of them has the clothes suddenly change into ones similar to the other four with glitters of light. They look around and quickly jumps aways. Luckily for Rola, they jumped towards the direction she came from.

Rola looks at them while running and says "Just what is going on? Who are they?"

She runs towards them and when she gets there, she sees the five girls undoing their transformation.

Surprised Rola mutters "Yume? And that's… Ellen?"

Yume then notices someone looking at them and turns around.

Yume asks "Who is there?"

Rola quickly hides and many thoughts going through her head "Yume, what was that? Those noises and explosions. It's like it never happened. Ellen, you too… Just what is going on?"

Ako asks Yume "Was someone there?"

Yume thinks "I don't know, could be just some animals. We do get them around time to time."

Hibiki then looks at Ellen with excitement "Anyways, that song was amazing! The guitar goes so well with you!"

Ellen smiles happily "Thanks! I got some help and without her, I don't think I would even complete it."

Yume then guess "It's Rola, isn't it? If is Rola, she would be happy to help."

Kanade then thinks and agrees "Rola, if she helps you, maybe that's why you complete it in such a short time."

Ellen nods "Yes, Rola helped me a lot. She is definitely amazing. Everything she said was on point. Even though she should be busy with work, she was able to help me so much. I got to do my best from here on as well."

Ako smiles and gently tells Ellen "It looks like you are fine now. How about it? Feel like doing a Live?"

Ellen looks at Ako for a second. She then puts up a confident face while pulling out her new dress, Sky Rider Coord.

Ellen says "I'll do one for sure. The practice stage should still have open slots for today. I'll make sure to make you all speechless."

Yume "Hehe, I can't wait."

The other girls agree and slowly walk away. On the other hand, Rola can't comprehend what has happened.

Rola then says to herself "Yume…" She then slaps her cheeks with both hands "No use thinking about it, I'll ask her tonight."

Within the dressing room, Ellen stands by herself with her eyes closed.

She takes a deep breath and says "It's okay, I'm not the same as before. All those things I have done and everything else I did to try and atone, it all brought me to today. Hummy, even with everything done, you believed in me. Hibiki, your straightforwardness helped me see how all my worries are pointless. Kanade, your gentleness and to be understanding of others are what made me stay as myself."

Ellen then opens her eyes and looks at her cards "Ako… Princess… Thank you for giving me the chance to be with you. Even though I brought danger to the Major Land, I was unpunished. You even accepted as your friend and let me continue to fight along with everyone. This stage, I'll put all my soul and heart into my every beat! Kurokawa Ellen, burning my heart's beat!"

Ellen gets changed and hops into the stage. Then music then starts playing and eventually Ellen starts singing while dancing.

Ellen's aura comes up fast while sings "I am the lead guitar player, whose sound shakes the soul. Warmth is sprouting within me, connecting you and me."

Ellen does a quick jump then continues "We are trying to match the power of the beats in our hearts. Our hearts and mind are linking a symphony of ties. If you believe in friendship and love, there is sunshine everywhere. We want to protect tomorrow So I can't stop my heartbeat."

Ellens aura starts to glow brilliantly and she gathers them into her hand and begins a guitar solo. At the end of it, she follows up with her special appeal. In her special appeal, she plays multiple notes with the aura guitar in her hand three times. Each time it creates many small sparkling blue notes. Then one last powerful play creates larger notes that surround her. When her special appeal ends, her aura returns to normal and continues her performance.

The performance was way above anyone's expectation. Even Rola who helped her wasn't expecting such great performance. A loud cheer for Ellen can be heard even out of the building. While everyone is happy and amazed by her performance, Rola is filled with worries.

Rola looks at Ellen then eventually moves her eyes on Yume "Ellen, that's amazing. No, not just Ellen. The other three are quite amazing as well. Yume, just what happened and how did you find them. Am I… falling behind again?"
