As the battle intensifies, a mysterious girl arrives.
This girl has blonde hair and red eyes. She wears a red, pink and white dress, white gloves, white thigh-high socks and red boots. This is Cure Macherie.
"Cure Macherie? So there are more Precures after all." Katy Caterpillar said. "Candy was right."
"She sure is. Now stand back, while I deal with this sea creature and sea witch." Macherie jumps up high, then gets on the Flying Dutchman.
(Play Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Song-Pirates of the Caribbean OST)
Davy Jones turns around and sees this. "Who in blazes are you?"
"Cure Macherie." She grabs her Twin Love Guitar and performed Macherie Poppin' with it, to which the dreaded pirate dodges the attack.
"Cure Macherie?" Joy questions.
"You're not stopping the Vase of Water's power!" Uma points the Vase at Cure Macherie, to which she dodged the powerful water magic. "What?!"
"So smooth." Macherie ran to Uma and smacks her in the side, with the latter unhanding the Vase.
"Turn the thing off!" Nanachi said.
Macherie presses the button, and the Vase is deactivated.
"We were close!" Jones said.
"Not quite yet." The guards came to the top deck, with Marulk in hand.
"Marulk!" Riko said.
"Ha ha! You finally got one! Now, who's in charge now?" Jones laughed.
"What do we do?" Reg wonders.
"You're messing with the wrong person." A baby came on board.
The baby has short pinkish-blonde hair that is tied in two small twintails held by fluffy white bands and red eyes. She wears a light pink short-sleeve shirt, white bib, sky blue bloomers and pale cream boots. This is Hugtan.
"Hugtan?" Macherie is surprised.
"A baby?" Jones laughed. "And what good does a baby do?! Huh?!" He laughed some more.
"You'll regret that. The future belongs to us. And you're not gonna destroy the future." Hugtan said.
"Trust me, your future is more darker than you think. I mean, what is future? There's no future. There's only darkness." Jones said.
"Yes, there is." Hugtan uses her Tomorrow Power to overthrow Jones, to which it knocked him out.
"Dang it." Uma said.
"Got the prisoners." A young girl came out of the lower deck, alongside Wendy Marvell and Mamori Tokonome.
This young girl has purple hair and blue eyes. She wears a pink long-sleeve shirt, purple skirt, white almost-to-the-knee socks and pink shoes. This is Riri.
"Well done, Riri." Hugtan said.
"You know her?" Reg asked.
Hugtan nodded. "She's my apprentice. While Hariham Harry still watches over me."
"Is Hariham here now?" Reg asked.
Hugtan nodded.
"Where?" Riko asked.
"Could be in your van truck." Hugtan said.
"Our van truck?!" Reg and Riko said in shock.
"This is not the end. We will return." Uma said.
The Dutchman is now sinking.
"We gotta get out of here!" Macherie said.
"Follow me!" Hugtan said.
They followed Hugtan off of the Dutchman and onto the bridge, then they watched as the Dutchman sank into the river.
"Somehow, in him, he knows me." Nanachi said.
"How?" Reg asked.
"I'm not sure." Nanachi said.
"You finally got them. But they escaped. But what about the vase?" A hamster came to them.
This hamster is actually a Mascot that has orange and cream fur and a tuft of red hair and brown eyes. He wears a gold chain. This is Hariham Harry.
Marulk gasped. "The Vase. Did anybody get the Vase?"
"I have it." Macherie shows them the Vase.
Marulk sighed in relief. "I'm glad."
Hugtan then got exhausted and passed out.
"What happened?!" Reg carries Hugtan.
"She used Tomorrow Power, did she?" Harry asked.
Riko nodded.
"You see, when she uses Tomorrow Power, that can make her exhausted, and she'll need to rest to restore herself before she gets back up again." Harry explains.
"Just like my Incinerator." Reg thought.
Katy crawls to them. "Well, this was a mess."
"It sure is. I wonder where that octopus guy is gonna be next." Riri said.
"Well, wherever he is, hopefully we don't see him again." Katy said.
"I doubt that." Harry said.
"So, what's the plan?" Buzzbee asked.
"We go back to the Agency. Job's accomplished here." Mary said.
"I agree." Katy said.
"Well, let's go." Harry said.
Science Lab
Someone is watching them on his TV screen.
"Hmm. I wonder who that Cure Macherie would be. Oh, I feel the intensity already." The mysterious man chuckled. "I'll show them who's the real threat to this world is. My fascination with Bruce Wayne is still there. But this fascination, this new sensation, is here. Cure Macherie. I wonder what you are." He laughed, maniacally.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
They gotten back to the Agency. Macherie changes to her normal form.
Her normal form has auburn hair worn in twintails held by a red ribbon and red eyes. She wears a white, pink and dark gray short-sleeve dress, white stockings and red Mary Jane shoes. This is Emiru Aisaki.
"You're a young one." Katy said.
"Thanks." Emiru said.
Compa came to them. "Sorry I wasn't part of the mission."
"You're fine. We got our asses beat by Davy Jones, the most feared pirate of the Seven Seas, but we fought him, and he's gone." Mary said.
"I did some research on the feared pirate of the Seven Seas. You actually fought him? In the Flying Dutchman?" Compa asked.
"Yeah, we fought that bastard." Mary said.
"Huh." Compa said.
Candy came to them. "Emiru Aisaki. Hugtan, if you're awake. Hariham Harry."
"Candy. Glad to meet you again." Harry said.
"You too, little guy." Candy knelt down and shakes Harry's hand.
"Okay, I'll give you info on when we might have another mission on board." Mary said.
"Understood." Reg saluted.
"What I like about you." Mary leaves the room.
"Well then, shall we go on?" Katy said.
Hugtan wakes up, and sees Candy. "Candy…"
Candy sees Hugtan awake. "Morning."
Reg unhands Hugtan and she walks up to Candy.
"It's about Asakura." Hugtan said.
"Asakura?" Candy asked.
"Ryoko Asakura." Hugtan said.
"Yuki Nagato's nemesis...Why?" Candy asked.
"She got herself working for the Sorcerer Supreme." Hugtan said.
"The Sorcerer Supreme?" Candy asked.
"That's not good." ID-3 Hoihoi-san walks to them. "If such a dangerous person is working for a more dangerous sorcerer, then I'm afraid we're gonna face the ultimate darkness."
"That is why we have to set up, pi." A Puchidol came to them.
This Puchidol has dark green hair and reddish-brown eyes. She wears a green shirt with white long sleeves, black skirt and black thigh-high socks. This is Piyo Piyo.
"Vaai, Piyo Piyo. I was wondering where you were." Harukasan said.
"Hush up. You're not the boss. I am." Piyo Piyo said.
"Wow. You're so amazing." Harukasan holds Piyo Piyo's hand. "I wish I be more like you."
"Not a chance." Piyo Piyo said.
"Why?" Harukasan gets depressed, sighed, then walks to Reg, climbs him until she got to his head, and "Nom." Puts her mouth on his head.
"I swear." Piyo Piyo came into the room. "It seems the Sorcerer Supreme has made more allies then it already is."
"Who are they?" Hoihoi-san asked.
"It seems that Asakura, Davy Jones and Hordak are part of this." Piyo Piyo said.
"Hordak? Enemy of She-Ra?" Compa asked.
"I'm shocked you knew." Piyo Piyo said.
Compa nodded.
"Great. Now what?" Morgana asked, feeling frustrated.
"We might wanna come up with a plan, if this 'Sorcerer Supreme' is getting more allies." Katy said.
"I can finally agree with you for once." Willa Caterpillar said.
"Oh hush." Katy said.
Meanwhile, Mary walks into her office and looks at her stuff.
"Criasu is gonna come back."
Mary turned around, startled, and sees a female.
This female has lilac hair that is worn up in braids with a pair of conical buns with a black headband and violet eyes. She wears a light purple short-sleeve shirt, indigo shorts, light purple thigh-high socks and purple shoes. This is Ruru Amour.
"Who's Criasu?" Mary asked.
"Not who. What. Criasu is a corporation of which they wanna destroy the future." Ruru said.
"Destroy the future?" Mary asked.
Ruru nodded.
"The hell is this?" Mary turns around. "You know, you wanna consider something here." She turns around, then sees that Ruru is gone. "Bitch. Alright." She sighed.
Ruru is outside, feeling some problems arising in her. Evil white eyes are staring at Ruru.
Break
Meta-Verse Department Agency
Candy is in Katy's office, alongside Hugtan.
"We need to find the Hugtto Precures, as they are out there somewhere." Candy said.
"Where do you think they would be?" Katy asked.
"I wouldn't even know for sure." Hugtan said.
"Hmm. Alright. We can start searching for them." Katy said.
"You knew I was right. That there are other Precures out there." Candy said.
"I thought there might be, but I wasn't sure myself." Katy said.
Meanwhile, Emiru walks down a hallway in the Revengers Base.
"Hello to you."
Emiru turns around and sees a female behind her.
This female has long straight dark purple hair that extends to her thighs, with the bangs slightly parted around her face and dark purple eyes. She wears a black long-sleeve shirt, black stockings and black loafers. This is Kotonoha Katsura.
"Who are you?" Emiru asked.
"I'm Katsura. Kotonoha Katsura."
"Emiru. Emiru Aisaki."
"Would you like to come with me?" Katsura asked.
"I guess not." Emiru said.
Katsura grabs Emiru's hand and they both walked out of the base.
Harry sees this out the window, and notices something. "Why is Emiru with that girl? Who is she?"
Hugtan knocks on Emiru's door. "Emiru."
Silence
Hugtan knocks again. "Emiru."
Nothing
"I'm coming in." Hugtan opens the door, then sees that she's gone. "Where is she?"
Harry came to Hugtan.
Hugtan turns to see Harry. "Where's Emiru?"
"She is walking with that girl. Whoever she is." Harry said.
"Oh no. Something's wrong." Hugtan said.
"You think the Sorcerer Supreme is…" Harry trailed off.
"Let's hope not." Hugtan gets out of the room.
"Wait!" Harry ran out of the room as well.
Later, Katsura and Emiru arrived in a laboratory.
"What is it that you want in here?" Emiru asked.
"It's not me. It's him." Katsura said.
"Who's him?" Emiru said.
"I am." The mysterious man came to them.
This man is bald and has a gray beard and wears glasses to hide his eyes. He wears a white long-sleeve lab coat, black gloves, black pants and black shoes. This is Hugo Strange.
"And who are you?" Emiru asked.
"I am Dr. Hugo Strange. And I have a lot to do with you."
"Like what?" Emiru asked.
"You'll see soon enough. Now come this way." Hugo went into the building.
Katsura and Emiru followed.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
"So Emiru is gone. Where do you think that girl taken her?" Katy asked.
They're in the meeting room.
"I'm not quite sure." Harry said.
"Great. The last thing I wanted." Katy said.
"I'll detect her for you." Lain said.
"That be great." Katy said.
Lain nodded, then she goes to do so.
"I'm getting worried." Hugtan said.
"Don't worry. We'll find her. You'll see." Riri said.
"Let's just hope you're right." Hugtan said.
Lain's eyes widened. "Oh no."
"What did you got?" Katy asked.
"She's in a science laboratory. Run by Hugo Strange." Lain said.
"Mad scientist of Gotham. Dang it. We have to get there now." Katy said.
"Understood." Hoihoi-san saluted.
Science Laboratory
Inside, we see Emiru going into what appears to be a torture chamber.
"Take a seat." Hugo said.
Emiru did just that on the doctor's chair.
Irene Engel came to him. "This must be good."
"Oh, it will be." Hugo said.
"Wait a moment. Is this some sort of trap?" Emiru gets scared.
"It will be if you don't shut your trap." Engel said.
"This is getting interesting." Tanya von Degurechaff came to them.
"Daughter. I'm letting Dr. Hugo Strange handle things." Engel said.
"Oh I know. I'm just here to report that people are outside." Tanya said.
"What people?" Engel asked.
"Emiru's friends it looks." Tanya said.
"Send someone down there NOW!" Engel said.
"Yes, mother." Tanya leaves the room.
"This is a trap. Let me out of here!" Emiru tries to get up, but straps holds her to the chair.
"Don't worry. Once your brain is dissected, then everything will be over." Hugo said.
"Dissect my brain? I'm not letting you!" Emiru said.
"Too late." Hugo grabs a needle. "This will only hurt a bit." He chuckled.
Emiru's eyes widened.
Outside the building, we see three females standing in front of it.
The first female has slightly wavy magenta hair that is worn down with a few green hair clips on each side. The most notable part of her hair is her short and uneven bangs due to a mishap. She has magenta eyes. She wears a light pink short sleeve shirt, light blue skirt, light blue socks and pink sneakers. This is Hana Nono.
The second female has long navy blue hair with most of her bangs pulled to the left in a bun held by a blue clip and some sections hanging loose and blue eyes. She wears a light blue dress with white long sleeves, white almost-to-the-knee socks and blue shoes. This is Saaya Yakushiji.
The third female has short gold hair covering her ears with a long ahoge-like lock on the corner of her head and gold eyes. She wears a light yellow long-sleeve shirt, white skirt and white sandals. This is Homare Kagayaki.
"Ready girls?" Hana asked.
They nodded. A masked figure came to them.
This masked figure wears a white mask with bright red eyes. He wears a gray suit, black and red cape, black gloves and gray boots. This is Colonel Vyktor Kratek.
"Surrender yourselves now, or your friend's going to die." Kratek said.
"He has whoever it might be." Saaya said.
"Maybe Emiru." Homare said.
"That is correct." Kratek said.
"Let's go. Precures." Hana said.
Hana holds her PreHeart in its phone mode and inserts her Mirai Crystal onto the device while saying "Miral Crystal!" She then flips the device into its heart mode as the screen flashes on with a white heart that emits white light as she says "Heart Kiratto!" Covered in a pink glow, she presses the red heart on the PreHeart while saying "Hagyuu." until pink hearts fly out and create her dress, her pompoms, socks and shoes. She presses the red heart again while saying "Gyuu." to change her hair length and as well as adding her hair accessories. She presses the red heart for the final time to allow her earrings and tiara to appear. She places her PreHeart in its carry bag on her waist and says "Cheering on everyone! The Pretty Cure of High Spirits!" while jumping high into the sky before landing on the ground and says "Cure Yell!" as she poses.
Saaya holds her PreHeart in its phone mode and inserts her Mirai Crystal onto the device while saying "Miral Crystal!" She then flips the device into its heart mode as the screen flashes on with a white heart that emits white light as she says "Heart Kiratto!" Covered in a blue glow, she presses the red heart on the PreHeart while saying "Hagyuu." until blue streams of light created her dress, sash, arm warmers and boots. She presses the red heart again while saying "Gyuu." to change her hair length and color and as well as adding her hair accessories. She presses the red heart for the final time to allow her earrings and tiara and cape to appear. She places her PreHeart in its carry bag on her waist and says "Healing everyone! The Pretty Cure of Wisdom!" while reaching to the heavens before kneeling to the ground and says "Cure Ange!" as she poses.
Homare holds her PreHeart in its phone mode and inserts her Mirai Crystal onto the device while saying "Miral Crystal!" She then flips the device into its heart mode as the screen flashes on with a white heart that emits white light as she says "Heart Kiratto!" Covered in a yellow glow, she presses the red heart on the PreHeart while saying "Hagyuu." until yellow streams of light fly out and create her dress, sash, skirt, leg bracelets. gloves and boots. She presses the red heart again while saying "Gyuu." to change her hair length and color and as well as adding her hair accessories. She presses the red heart for the final time to allow her earrings and tiara and cape to appear. She places her PreHeart in its carry bag on her waist and says "Making everyone shine! The Pretty Cure of Strength!" while spinning around, touching the ground then straightening back up and says "Cure Etoile!" as she poses.
"That's damned it!" Kratek grabs his photon gun and shoots at the Hugtto Precures.
They dodged the blasts, then Cure Yell jumps. spins around and smacks Kratek in the face.
"You need some help?"
The Hugtto Precures turned around and saw the Revengers coming to them.
"Hey there. We do, thank you." Yell said.
"Let's get Emiru back." Hugtan said.
They all nodded.
Inside the lab, Hugo is close to dissecting Emiru's brain. "This will all be over once I see what's in your mind. How many memories you hold dear to you. How much you must have suffered through life, lost, all alone. Scared even. I wanna see what's in that mind of yours." He laughed maniacally.
Suddenly, something grabs the needle and breaks it on the wall.
"The fuck is that?!" Hugo gets shocked.
"Me."
He turns to see Ruru with a grab rope.
"Why you?" Hugo gets mad.
Engel unsheathes her rapier. "You did this to my face."
"Your face was broken anyways." Ruru said.
"You FUCKING FOOL! YOU THINK I HAVE SOME FUCKING NERVES TO MAKE THIS FACE PRETTY AGAIN, BUT NO! YOU FILLED IT WITH BLOOD! My face is now ruined because of you." Engel said.
"It's time I give you a taste of your own medicine." Ruru said. She breaks the straps on the chair.
"My specimen!" Hugo said.
"Ready?" Ruru asked.
Emiru nodded.
Ruru and Emiru holds their PreHeart in its phone mode and inserts their Mirai Crystal onto the device while saying "Miral Crystal!" They then flips the device into its heart mode as the screen flashes on with a white heart that emits white light as they says "Heart Kiratto!" Covered in their respective colored glow, they pressed the red heart on the PreHeart while saying "Hagyuu." until their respective colored streams of light fly out and create their dress, coat tails and boots. They pressed the red heart again while saying "Gyuu." to change their hair length and color and as well as adding their hair accessories. She presses the red heart for the final time to allow their gloves to appear. They placed their PreHeart in its carry bag on their waist and says "Loving everyone! The Pretty Cure of Love!" while hugging each other followed by spinning around and says "Cure Amour!" "Cure Macherie!" as they posed.
"I knew it. I knew it! She is Cure Macherie all that time! Now I can do some more on her!" Hugo laughed, maniacally.
"I'm afraid that's a no." Katsura has a pocket knife in hand.
"Why?" Hugo asked.
"I'm not working for Criasu anymore." Katsura said.
"But Katsura, Criasu needs us. Criasu is our future. There's no other way." Hugo said.
"You're wrong. You're lying." Katsura said.
"What would your sister, Ryoko Asakura think if you betrayed Criasu, hmm?" Hugo asked.
"My sister is sick!" Katsura said.
"Then prepare to die." Hugo pushes Katsura into the chemical bottles, and they fell on top of her. "That's your warning."
"You only made it worse."
Hugo slowly turns around and sees Katsura having ghostly traits. "Oh shit."
"You're the one that got to die." Katsura flew quick to Hugo and she punches him to the wall.
The Revengers came in.
"Wow. That guy got battered." Mary said.
Katsura returns to normal, and is quite scared. "What just happened? What just happened?!"
"The chemicals gave you this." Kratek came into the room.
"I'm assuming you're Engel's new commander." Paiman said.
"Yes. Replacing Hexadecimal." Kratek said.
"So she's gone now?" Katy asked.
"No. She is still there. Taking a new role." Kratek said.
"I hate it when stuff like this happens." Katy said.
"Well, we can knock him out." Riri turns her hand into purple energy.
"Is that so?" Kratek grabs out his photon gun. "Then you'll see the point of revenge on yourself." He shoots it.
Riri blocks the attack with her purple energy.
"Nice going." Katy said.
"Cool, huh?" Riri asked.
"It is." Katy said.
"You know, Hugo there isn't just a doctor. He is an uncle." Kratek said.
"To who?" Hoihoi-san asked.
"To Doctor Stephen Strange." Kratek said.
"That dream? Does that creature want him?" Marulk thought.
Cure Amour screamed.
"What's wrong Cure Amour?" Macherie asked.
Amour opens up portals and unleashed Oshimaida snakes and they attacked Hugo, Engel and Kratek.
"You bitch! I won't forget this!" Engel leaves the room, so as Hugo and Kratek.
"Until we meet again!" Hugo leaves the building.
The Oshimaida snakes then turns to Katsura, then they try to attack her, to which frightens the school girl.
"Amour, stop!" Macherie said.
The Oshimaida snakes are about to eat Katsura, but they faded off. Katsura whimpers.
"No. No. This can't be happening again." Amour said.
"That was an Oshimaida, wasn't it?" Hugtan asked.
"Oshimaida?" Katy asked.
"They're dark beings that wanna destroy the future." Hugtan said.
"Is she one?" Katy points at Amour.
"She was a summoner once, but not anymore. But now, I'm not quite sure." Hugtan said.
Amour then runs off.
"Amour!" Macherie said.
Reg looks down at the floor. "What if she's gonna be evil again? What would happen to her then?"
"We'll worry on looking for Amour later. For now, let's just head back." Katy said.
Macherie looks at where Amour once was, then goes with the Revengers and left.
London, Nazi Base
Mael Radec came to Kratek. "You failed."
"Those were Oshimaidas. Seems that Amour is getting back to her dark side now." Kratek said.
"Excellent. What Criasu wants." Radec said.
Kratek turns to Hugo, who is sitting down on a couch, looking at a painting of Gotham City. "You thinking of seeing your relative?"
"Yes. I've been waiting to meet with him for a long time now." Hugo said.
"Guess you finally got the chance." Kratek said.
Hugo smiled. "I sure do."
Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down
Well, I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
But I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all I know, it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there and holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
