(OPENING 1: This Will Be The Day from RWBY)
Volume 5: Episode 17: A Weakness that Becomes Power! Erika's Limitless Love!
In the previous episode of DKR:
The Saint Rose Crusaders had been plotting to take over Tokyo first before conquering the world to make it better in their eyes. But first they must set up their plan within the city and get rid of Tokyo Mew Mew. They began with their previous attacks and now move on to the final parts, starting with a local zoo. Ringo had rush to the café to get Ichigo's help to protect the place Yuki gets to see her fellow penguin friends while Berry was being measured in her waitress outfit and getting her partner and Masha's brother Ryou created, dubbed Ucha by Berry.
Ichigo went along to help Ringo while she and Berry got to know each other and their connection of losing their mothers and their desire to have someone close to each other.
The selling of the zoo is denied thanks to Ichigo well getting Ami and Minako's help but same thing. Not so much when a Chimera Anima attacks controlled by Happy Child and Blue Bayou. The Mew Mews along with the Sailor Mercury and Venus fight the monster and the two villains with Ringo refused to give up and used her new attack. The heroines defeated the monster but the Saint Rose still got what they wanted. As well as the same old woman with them confronting Ichigo without revealing who or what she is aiming for, simply wishing to observe the girl.
What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... a day later since the previous episode:
It was a normal day in Café Mew Mew as Berry was doing her job as a waitress; ordering the meals of the people she attend and being cute about it.
Berry is surprised she's not freaking out about this but she's thankful for Ichigo's training previous about this… though this was supposed to be training too?
Walking up next to the red cherry head just finishing her shift, Berry asks her puzzled. ''Does this really counts as training too Ichigo-san?''
Ichigo turns and sighs nodding, explaining it upset. ''From experience and slave owner Ryou… yea, pretty much.''
''Well at least it's not-'' Berry begins to say at the least they don't have to be on alert 100% of the time… that was until she's interrupted by Pudding shouting over a tightrope over them. ''LOOK AT MY NEW TRICK BERRY-ONEE-CHAN!''
Berry blinks looking up and widens her eyes in horror to see Pudding walking over the rope with multiple dishes at both hands. She was too shock to utter anything as then she heard a THUMB and CRACK. She turns and it was Lettuce, on the ground and a plate broken.
''Sorry, I tripped.'' Lettuce apologizes sweat dropping. Mint sighs taking a tea break. Ringo sweat drops helping Lettuce up her feet.
Ichigo taps Berry by the back and tells her giggling. ''See, training Nya.''
Berry sweat drops admitting she's not wrong. Ichigo smiles as she then turns noticing the nervous wreck Erika had, not focusing on the customers and just checking the clock every 30 seconds seemingly. She blinks wondering if she has stuff to do after work.
She approaches her and asks concern for her friend. "Erika-chan?''
Erika blinks stagger turning to face the red cherry head who asks her smiling. ''You okay Nya?''
''J-just thinking is all.'' Erika replies rather nervously. Ichigo hums staring at her and after thinking recalls that Erika was asked out by Ryan for a date.
''About your date Nya?'' She questions guessing while being very curious. Erika's face turns bright red shyly, not answering. This was very unlike her. Usually Erika would not care about any guy asking her out and never admits it was a date but with Ryan… it felt different.
Ichigo says smiling about her attitude. ''I never saw you this suspense about a date before Nya.''
''I'm surprised too to be honest Ichigo but…'' Erika, her face still red but less, finally speaks hesitate. She isn't sure why she's feeling like this but it's likely because Ryan treats her differently than other boys have done to her. In fact that has made her eager. She then resumes explaining with a smile. ''I feel rather excited for once. You know I've dated before and well, all but Jonouchi's were pretty okay.''
Ichigo rolls her eyes on the last part but she agrees with her adding. ''And even then it wasn't great. Though at least that idiot hitting on you was A TINY bit better than with Ryou, remember?''
Erika sweat drops recalling how Ryou had asked her out but she didn't accept because of the problems back then… plus she could tell Ryou had a thing for Lettuce and didn't want to ruin that pair. Still how he asked her out wasn't as bad.
Still, she's worry that her bold almost stoic nature about boys might ruin her date with Ryan. She didn't want to make a similar mistake like she did with him during the KC Cup.
''… I want this to work out.'' Erika admits with a worrying face towards Ichigo. The red cherry head could see the concern as genuine. She smiles and asks in a rather teasing face. ''Because you like Ryan-kun Nya?''
The black haired girl blushes like a tomato again, just telling her looking away embarrassed. ''Too soon but I don't want to ruin how he wants to pay me back. And well fix my past mistakes with him.''
Erika had told Ichigo about her issues with Ryan and her misunderstanding. She still regrets it and wants to make it up. Still she might need help with this and well the only person Erika can think of to make this date perfect is her best friend right front of her.
''… Ichigo, could you well…'' Hesitating for such an embarrassing request, Erika faces her and pleads for her services. ''Help me make this date turn out smoothly and perfect.''
''…'' Ichigo just stares speechless by her request, not out of uneasiness but of joy while her face slowly tear up into tears of happiness. She immediately hugs Erika and tells her happily from the bottom of her heart. ''I WOULD BE HONOR TOO NYA!''
Erika sweat drops but smiles accepting her hug. Ichigo giggles excitedly to help Erika especially since she can tell Ryan likes her a lot and they make a cute pair. She asks her though. ''Can I take Berry-chan with me?''
''Um… sure?'' Erika replies a bit hesitate but she can imagine Ichigo wants to take her as a different type of training. Ichigo purrs energetic before proclaiming joyfully. ''Great! This will be good training about love and friendship Nya!''
Erika sweat drops hoping this doesn't get out of hand.
Jonouchi stares from afar and overhearing the conversation from his end; Ichigo yells too loud. He gazes at the thought that lawyer taking his Erika. That ain't happening! Not on his watch!
Unknown over a building, Blue Bayou and Sweet Juliet set up one of the devices needed for Royal Highness to use his powers on Tokyo.
''The tower is set.'' Blue Bayou proclaims wiping his hands together. Sweet Juliet sighs boring as he tells him. ''It's really pointless engaging those Mew Mews now right?''
''…'' Blue Bayou doesn't say word. True, they don't have to engage them but they should. Especially for him, to test his absolute power, he must. And there is one Mew Mew he wants to prove his power over hers.
He turns and starts walking to Sweet Juliet's confusion.
''Where are you going Blue?'' He questions him for once puzzle by his actions. After all, he is the senior over Bayou; he can't let him do what he pleases.
Blue Bayou stops and turns to face his senior, telling him with a cocky smirk as he squeezes his right hand like a fist for a brawl. ''I want to fight that Scorpion one; the same one Mew Mew that Duke warned us to not engaged. I want to find out if she really is strong!''
Sweet Juliet, with the same bored expression, just sighs at his utter nonsense… still if it's something he wants to do, it wouldn't hurt. Plus he has been a bit curious about that Mew Mew if she's that much of a threat if left unchecked.
''Fine. Just to amused myself a bit.'' Sweet Juliet accepts walking with him. Blue Bayou smirks looking forward to beating that scorpion.
In Erika's house, Ichigo helps Erika get ready for her date with Berry waiting and not liking this. Berry groans very unease on the idea to spy on a date like this but Ichigo demands that she comes along with this.
''This is wrong to do this.'' The blonde headed girl protests on spying on a date. She didn't want to be called anything like a pervert or mischief for this. That was until Erika was fully dressed in a lovely bright yellow golden shoulder tank top with an orange mini skirt with high heels.
Berry drops her jaw and expresses happily with star-shaped eyes. ''The outfit looks SO cute!''
Ichigo grins agreeing as she straps Erika with a lovely orange colored collar neck necklace and earrings too. Erika blushes red by the getup and just mutters. ''Thanks.''
''Remember Erika-chan, be yourself Nya!'' Ichigo tells her prepping her purse with her cellphone, telling her. ''Also text me if you're stuck.''
Erika nods going to do just that if well she gets stuck.
''Um Erika-san.'' Erika turns to Berry facing her. She says encouraging with a big smile. ''Smile!''
Erika oddly smiles and promises her. ''I will.''
Berry giggles now wanting Erika's date to turn out smoothly.
Erika waited in front of her house since Ryan said he would pick her up… but he hasn't shown up yet. Weird for a guy who has a limo.
''Where is he?'' Erika asks concern checking the time and he was 30 minutes late. She waits until she hears a ring. She turns and slowly widens her eyes.
It was Ryan, riding on a bike with a back sit, as he rings the bell thrice.
''… HUH?!'' Erika utters out in shock, not ever seeing this coming. Not even the Inner Scorpion watching this and she could see into the future AND saw this coming and still not believe it.
Panting, Ryan utters out in a sweat. ''HUFF! Sorry I'm late! Long hill… HUFF… Bloody hill.''
Erika blushes red by this and immediately asks him still stun. ''… Ryan, why are you riding a bike?''
Ryan eyes her and blushes having been nervous about this date himself too. He wanted this date to not be about he has a lot of money and could take her to Italy for the best cuisine and then to somewhere like Hawaii to see the sun… BUT that would be crazy. Plus he didn't want to make her feel bad due to his wealth so he thought of the best idea.
''Well I didn't want to make things uncomfortable if I arrive on my limo on our first date. So I bought this!'' Ryan explains his reasons while grinning. Erika sweat drops by this, just muttering out. ''You're trying too hard to not impress me.''
He does nod, admitting it though he does say modestly. "I wanted to make this date different. I mean I never technically dated someone before and I want it to be special.''
''… It is.'' Erika, however, agrees about it. Most guys she went out with would show off something to impress her and try to act out of character. Jonouchi too but he was honest and somewhat cute when he tried… But Ryan, he really wants to be himself without his money. She can give this a shot.
Hopping on the back end sit, Erika asks him grabbing him by his waist tight and close. ''Ready to ride us?''
Ryan, blushing reddish, just responds eagerly. ''Yes ma'am!''
Paddling on the pedals, Ryan rides off with Erika while giggling.
Ichigo and Berry watch from their end with the red cherry head giggling.
''So wait they're riding on a bike for their date?'' Berry questions rather surprising after learning this Ryan is a lawyer and a pretty successful one expecting a car or something. Though she found that cute showing this guy is more than just money.
Ichigo just giggles telling the blonde headed. ''Come on Nya.''
Berry nods as the two girls head off.
However, watching from afar too, Jonouchi grits his teeth gripping hard on a pair of binoculars. He was watching them within Mai's car who well he asked for Mai's services and boy she did regret this even after the darkened blond headed paid her.
''Bastard thinks using the bicycle trick will earn Erika-chan's heart. I CAME UP WITH THAT!'' Jonouchi shouts furious at that stupid stunt. He should have done that with his own bike.
Mai sweat drops heavily with a firm gaze at the darkened blond headed, finally speaking up. ''First off, seriously?''
Jonouchi ignores her and instead declares determined to stop this date. ''Never mind Mai! Let's roll!''
Mai rolls her eyes going to regret this though if this backfires, at least Jonouchi will look at someone else who would appreciate his attentions. The two head off.
Ichigo and Berry have been following Erika and Ryan from their end but so have Jonouchi and Mai. The two groups were surprised as Ryan stops at a wide park stands and after he had to find a chain to mount the bike, he and Erika just had a simple walk of a date.
''Huh? Ryan-kun was serious about showing Erika a good date, without using his fortune.'' Ichigo says pretty impressed. Berry nods softly agreeing.
They continue watching the pair enjoying a fun ice cream meal and watching performers.
Berry can notice that Erika is having fun. Ichigo giggles until she feels unease and blushes red, actually feeling like she needs to use the bathroom.
''I gotta use the bathroom! Keep me posted Berry-chan!'' Ichigo advises her as she runs off in a hurry. Berry watches her leave sweat dropping just mutters nervously. ''Eek… okay.''
Berry watches from her end did spotting two girls just hanging out. It was Rei and Makoto enjoying some getting to know each other better.
''These cones are really good huh?'' Makoto says with a grin. Rei hums enjoying the flavor and adds calmly though blushes. ''I see why Usagi-chan likes them.''
Makoto grins nodding. She then spots Ryan with Erika and immediately utters blushing intense. ''Senpai?''
Rei blinks turning and realizes who this person was from Usagi.
''Think that's the lawyer Dragon Knight.'' She explains pretty sure that is him. Makoto snaps out in a total blushing embarrassment and utters. ''Oh right!''
Both girls watch humming curious on the pair now.
Now sitting on a bench just the two of them, Erika blushes noticing Ryan not making a move for how nervous he looked. She giggles feeling a bit confident.
''So um Erika…'' Ryan starts speaking up shilly-shally but Erika beats him to it giggling. ''Are you enjoying this?''
Ryan blinks eyeing her. Erika smiles and repeats herself. ''Are you?''
Ryan quickly smiles and responds honestly. ''Of course! It's been ages since I ever did something like this before no less with someone awesome like you.''
Swiftly as he said those words, Erika just stares silent by his words. Ryan then adds really happy. ''It's honestly better having company like yours.''
Erika blushes red by that comment, not sure how to feel now. She pulls out her phone and texts Ichigo for her help… but after like a solid minute, no reply. She startles as Ichigo would answer her less than that. She frowns trying to text Berry if they were okay and for her advice.
Berry's phone beeps as she pulls it out and staggers that it's Erika texting her.
''Eek, she's texting me…'' She mutters anxiously. Berry thinks hard how to give her the best advice and then she smiles recalling what Ichigo told her about Erika. She soon replies with the following text: Be Erika.
Erika gets the text back and blinks. She then smiles getting it and proceeds leaning up close to Ryan and holding his hand. He startles looking up at her to see Erika's face, her soft brown eyes staring at him while blushing. Ryan blushes back, his heart beating fixated towards her.
''Ryan, you can always relay on me to find this sensation of happiness.'' Erika asks of him wanting to be there for whenever he needs someone to just talk and be close to. She giggles even adding in a teasing tone. ''And also always be honest with me, I like that about you.''
He stares blushing, also feeling the same about her too. When Erika is like this or speaks from her heart, he really feels the need to want her. It's weird but he feels happy about it.
Ryan soon chuckles a bit before telling her kindhearted. ''You weren't kidding about how guys get turn on by your beauty.''
Erika blushes red by that comment, for once effective. Ryan smiles soon adding. ''But I like your eyes more.''
''… Baka.'' Curling her lips into a smile, Erika tells him with a small smirk. Ryan blinks smiling and asks in a teasing tone. ''That's idiot right?''
Just smiling, Erika suddenly hops on top of him slightly. He startles staring her face blushing really red almost turned on. Ryan just blushes holding her close as Erika leans in to his face with her mouth towards his. He blushes thinking she will kiss him as Erika thought the same. But the two didn't care about to embrace with the other's lips… until-
''NOT SO FAST!'' The two widens their eyes forced to separate and turn in surprise to see Jonouchi glaring at Ryan with just intense fury in his eyes. Mai was present too but she kept herself as barely unnoticed as she could.
''Jonouchi?'' Erika utters visible confusion why he's here.
Berry panics immediately texting Ichigo but no respond yet. Oh this is really bad.
''Oh hey! Funny coincidence!'' Ryan expresses standing up, being oblivious that Jonouchi might have been following them. Jonouchi snaps and yells at him barking. ''NOT IN THE MOOD BRITISH!''
''British lawyer.'' Ryan, smiling, corrects him to Jonouchi's irritation. Erika sweat drops sometimes amazed by when Ryan will be taken serious and not.
Now annoyed, Mai speaks up by Jonouchi's BRILLIANT plan. ''This was your plan? To interrupt their date?''
Jonouchi turns facing her and had no word, hoping to make Erika realize her mistake but well that hasn't happen yet.
Ryan eyes Mai and sweat drops more slowly getting what's going on, just muttering out. ''Oh this is awkward.''
Erika just smiles that he really is a smart yet oblivious person, but nice. Jonouchi groans at the face she has for him and tells her from the bottom of his heart. ''Erika-chan, you can't fall for me. What about us?!''
Erika sighs with a smile at how forgetful he can be. Their last date was a wager they made and she was clear about it… but he's too in love like any boy, at least in a different way.
Berry watches really unease how this will end until her view is blocked by Ucha floating right in front of her.
''Huh Ucha?'' Berry utters puzzled why he came out from her. Ucha just responds of what he's detecting. ''Chimera Animas are here, dummy.''
Berry startles surprised and worried.
''Oh Jonouchi…'' Erika begins to say wanting to be nice about this but then her train of thought is cut off seeing a vision. Immediately panicking, she pushes Jonouchi downward as she then pushes Ryan out of the way all while she ducks in the last minute as something fast flies pass where she was standing. Luckily Mai was away from the thing which Erika knew but still Mai is left silent by the speed of whatever just passed.
''Nice timing!'' Ryan comments by Erika's reaction speed. Erika sweat drops apologizing for doing that. ''Sorry about this Ryan, I got my vision a little late.''
The Inner Scorpion rolls her eyes at her daughter's words and just states within her head. ''Not my fault dear.''
Erika wasn't putting the blame on her… she was however going to blame on the ones attacking her date.
"Such interesting thing about love.'' A voice calls out rather bored. Erika turns angrily as the others blink with Ryan and Jonouchi standing up straight. They stare directly at the appearance of Blue Bayou and Sweet Juliet.
The Crusaders were also surrounded by a swarm of bee, hornet and wasp Chimera Animas. Erika stares rather shaken up, breathing slightly rough. The Inner Scorpion groans not liking this knowing her daughter's fears better than others.
''Don't care. Only care beating the so-called strongest Mew Mew.'' Blue Bayou declares tightening his fists as he points one of them towards Erika. She glares annoyed, wishing her visions let her see this coming a mile more away.
Erika's date turns from nice to uncomfortable due to Jonouchi to a disaster with the Saint Rose Crusaders attacking her. Will things end well?
Commercial Break:
Erika: Just what I didn't want on my date.
Berry: EEK! WHERE'S ICHIGO-SAN?! ERIKA-SAN NEEDS HELP!
After seemingly forever, Ichigo finally could find a restroom that wasn't out of service or full or just disgusting to even walk in.
"I can't believe it took this long to finally use a restroom Nya.'' Ichigo expresses with a relieve face. She really needs to stop drinking during these stakeouts. She prepares to head off back until she's stopped by a voice calling out to her. ''Oh we meet again young lady.''
The red cherry head blinks turning and startles to see the old lady from before. She's surprised to see her here too. ''Oh hello! Visiting the park too Nya?''
''I find it curiosity how humans act.'' The elderly woman responds watching many people; families, friends, just little children all together doing different activities or relaxing. Ichigo blinks just seeing them all enjoying themselves.
''Simple minded creatures with their concerns being themselves. It truly is a wonder.'' The older woman says with the most amused expression on her face. Ichigo faces her and smiles correcting her. ''Well people like to enjoy life in its fullness. We only get one life and not a long one Nya.''
The elderly woman looks back at her and hums agreeing partly with her. Ichigo feels the vibrating of her phone. She pulls out her phone and reads the text from Berry. She soon widens her eyes horrified.
''Um I gotta go Nya! Bye!'' Apologizing with a bow, Ichigo tells the elderly woman as she runs in a hurry. The old woman watches her leave in such a hurry, just muttering out with a small smirk. ''Such a simple girl.''
She giggles as her eyes glow an eerie silver light.
Watching from his end in the shadows, Arkham gazes at the old woman… curious. He can sense something vile and dark from the elderly woman and can't help but chuckle, going to keep his eye on her.
Berry groans beginning to panic, watching from her end and from Jonouchi showing off to ruin Erika's moment with Ryan AND NOW the Saint Rose Crusaders are here to make the situation worst. She ties dialing on Ichigo, hoping she shows up quickly.
''Who the hell are these guys?!'' Jonouchi demands furious at these weirdoes. Sweet Juliet gazes at the darkened blond headed and states uninterested. ''None of your concern simpleton.''
Jonouchi snaps and begins to shout coming at the weirdo. ''WHO THE HELL-''
Immediately Erika raises her arm up to stop Jonouchi. She then states coldly at the two villains before her. ''You attack us in our date and worst…''
She then glares venomous yet unease at the flying army of bees hovering over them. Her legs shake violently.
''YOU INTEND USING A CHIMERA ANIMA WASP AGAINST ME!'' Erika yells angrily that her eyes glow a venomous orange light. Ryan blink taken back by her overreaction.
''Um…'' Ryan tries uttering while Erika blushes red, actually shaking. She never wishes to admit anything but it seems these Crusaders know her fears. Gulping, she reveals it. ''Hornet, wasp, bee… mostly hornets and wasps; I hate those bugs. So much.''
Ryan blinks now getting it. He frowns now understanding why she hates this; these guys are using what she's afraid of against her.
''And it'll be these same bugs that will kill you, scorpion girl.'' Blue Bayou proclaims cocky cracking his knuckles excitedly.
Erika glares beginning to declare pulling out her pendant. ''We'll see-''
''Oh no you don't!'' Bayou shouts charging at her as hornets fly at her. Erika panics dodging the hornets quickly, trembling but freezes up as Bayou swings a punch at her… only for Ryan to intercept the punch with his own fist, both clashing. The two are pushed back with Ryan gasping, shaking his slightly bleed.
''Bloody hell… That hit like a truck!'' Ryan says shaking his hand. Blue Bayou notices his own hand bleeding and bruised, commenting. ''Not bad yourself.''
Ryan glares taking on a fighting pose. Erika sweats, breathing heavily, hearing the sounds of the wasps echoing in her ears. She gulps, her hand shaking tightly gripping on her Mew Pendant. Was she that scared to fight her fear?
She remembers when she was little how she once played with a beehive with a stick, pretending it was a piñata and when she smacked it well she got angry bees stinging her. Luckily Erika survived the assault but she could never forget that moment no matter how old she gotten since.
''Ryan, I-'' Erika tries uttering, not sure if she can fight them the way she is but she couldn't finish her line but immediately Ryan speaks up, insuring her confident. ''No, I have your back Erika. It would be cowardly of me to let you fight alone.''
She staggers as Ryan narrows his head towards her and smiles, now his turn to protect her like she protected him.
''I won't let you down.'' He vows pulling out his Dragon Sword from his side waist. Erika just stares at him and blushes kindly.
Jonouchi watches this and he's just left stunned. He grunts all pump up and declares passionate. ''I-I CAN FIGHT TOO FOR YOU TOO, ERIKA-CHAN!''
Erika blinks eyeing him. Jonouchi just grins confident that he'll show her who's deserves her more.
He reaches for his deck box and slides on his wrist… only to sweat heavily just realizing something.
''… I forgot my Duel Disk.'' Jonouchi utters out dropping his head down in shame, forgetting to get it. Mai sweat drops admitting leaving hers in her car.
Blue Bayou just sweat drops, pretty sure he's being ignored. Sweet Juliet didn't care, just wanting this to be over with.
Berry groans watching from her end as Ichigo finally shows up in a panic. She turns and cries out hugging the red cherry head. ''ICHIGO-SAN!''
Ichigo sweat drops smiling, patting her head as a mean to apologize to her. She then declares gripping on her Mew Pendant Necklace. ''Let's go Berry-chan!''
The blonde headed girl nods pulling out hers.
''Mew Mew Strawberry/Berry!'' Both girls begin to chant before kissing their own pendants, finishing their lines in union. ''Metamorphosis!''
The pendants shine and wrap their light around them. The girls transform into their Mew forms and leap out from their hiding spot. Mew Ichigo releases Ribbon Chidori Current, zapping the flying bug Chimeras back as she and Mew Berry land beside Erika.
''Ichigo!'' Erika utters out blushing. Mew Ichigo eyes her and smiles responding. ''We'll talk later Nya!''
''Stay on your toes dummy.'' Ucha advises her with Mew Berry nodding.
Blue Bayou grunts annoyed that these girls just don't learn. Sweet Juliet sighs uninterested simply ordering the Chimeras bored. ''Get rid of them.''
The Chimeras swarm towards the Mew Mews, readying its stingers. Mew Ichigo and Mew Berry evades around their thrusts even as the swarm fire their stingers like missiles as they regrow them without dying. The Mew Mews dodge around them while moving everyone away, one being that Mew Ichigo kicks Jonouchi by the groins, gasping in agony dropping hard face forward.
''STAY DOWN BAKA!'' Mew Ichigo yells at him winking as she ducks a stinger.
''DAMN IT MOMOMIYA, WHY THERE?!'' Jonouchi complains furiously, rubbing his nuts. Mai sweat drops pretty sure the cat girl did that out of delight.
As the two Mew Mews dodge the enemy attacks, Mew Berry sadly slips of as Blue Bayou swings at her. She panics hopping off her feet, just barely dodging the powerful fist but not the swarm of hornets charging directly at her.
''Berry-chan!'' Mew Ichigo shouts leaping right in front of the rabbit-cat girl and forms her pink barrier. The hornets didn't care ramming their stingers right through the barrier to the cat girl's horror.
''They can bypass my barrier?'' She tells herself never having that problem ever. Her barrier is indestructible minus times it shattered by the Dark Lord, his general, Deep Blue nearly and those Espada guys.
The hornet come at them with Mew Ichigo quickly blasting them with Ribbon Strawberry Check, pushing them back but one that fires its stinger and scratches upon her neck. The cat girl widens her eyes terrified. Jonouchi and Mai gasp in horror as did Ryan.
''ICHIGO!'' Erika shouts in terror as did Mew Berry. ''Ichigo-san!''
Mew Ichigo drops on the ground but not before Ryan slides in and catches her. He sighs calling it close as he gently puts her on the ground. Mew Berry panics landing and rushing to her aid. She watches trembling with the cat girl just uttering out weakly. ''I-I can't… move.''
She couldn't move her body, gasping heavily.
Sweet Juliet hums amaze, simply saying with such a heartless voice. ''Their stingers are meant to paralyze and kill their target. Wonder how long you have.''
Mew Ichigo glares weakly moving her right arm, struggling. Mew Berry notices this and immediately helps her. With her help, the cat girl presses her Strawberry Bell still grip on her hand over her chest and focuses as light surrounds her body. Mew Berry watches recalling that Ichigo has a healing power like Ringo; she's probably trying to remove the poison in her system.
The rabbit-cat Mew Mew looks down squeezing her hands, feeling horrible for not being better and having Ichigo save her like that.
''I-I was careless…'' Mew Berry mutters defeated, feeling more than responsible for this. Erika watches this and frowns, angrily not towards her but herself. She failed her leader, her best friend because of fear. If not for that, she would have protected Berry better. That enraged her so much that she has had it.
''… Unforgivable.'' Ryan blinks turning towards Erika as he sees the orange outline forms around her body. She glares at the villains, declaring angrily. ''You pissed me off.''
Blue Bayou sweats while Sweet Juliet watches for once with a look of fear. They might have enrage the beast now.
''Mew Mew Erika…'' Erika begins to chant kissing her pendant, shouting. ''METAMORPHOSIS!''
The pendant shines wrapping Erika in orange ribbons, unfolding to reveal the beauty dark headed as the venomous scorpion girl.
The swarm of hornets, bees and wasps fly around the Mew Mew however Mew Erika just breathes deeply her eyes still closed, not even afraid. Ryan forms a smile that Erika is acting like herself.
''H-hey, how the hell are you not scared of the wasps?'' Blue Bayou utters confused by this. They thought using her fear would give them an advantage.
"Simple.'' Mew Erika begins to explain, slowly opening her eyes to reveal them glowing orange and furious. ''You dare harm my friend.''
The orange outline erupts like a wave that pushes the swarm back. The scorpion girl Mew Mew slams her tail on the ground, cracking the ground slightly.
''RIBBON ERIKA VENOM!'' Mew Erika shouts taking aim with her tail and fires the venomous orange blast at the swarm, consuming and melting a few hornets, bees and wasps.
The swarm came at her as Erika summons her gauntlet, scorpion pincers-like wrist blades. She swings her Erika Stingers, slashing down at the swarm coming at her along with her tail. However there were still too many as they shoot out their stinger missiles at her. Mew Erika turns going to blast them but then a bronze-colored Dragon Slice Attack destroys the stingers and a few of the swarm.
She staggers as Ryan gets on her back and tells her smiling. ''I said I got your back Erika!''
Mew Erika just smiles blushing softly, gazing at the Chimera and slashes one coming at her with her stingers.
Sweet Juliet watches not liking this. The scorpion girl isn't even afraid at all. This will affect their odds now.
Blue Bayou, however, didn't care finally able to fight the so-called strongest Mew Mew. He smirks charging at Mew Erika who engages him while Ryan protects her back.
Hiding close by, Rei and Makoto watch this play out and the two eye and nod to each other. They had to do something pull out their pens.
''Mars Planet Power!'' Rei begins to chant as did Makoto. ''Jupiter Planet Power!''
''MAKE UP!'' The two shout raising their left hands up and begins to transform.
The swarm flies at the two while Mew Erika evades Bayou's punches. Just then a burst of flames ignite and burn most of the swarm. This surprises everyone as Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter lands beside the other heroes.
''You girls.'' Ryan utters surprised while Mew Erika giggles asking Mars. ''What took you so long?''
''Thought you could handle things. My mistake.'' Sailor Mars responds with a small smile. Mew Erika nods as the two blasts at the swarm with a combination of poison and flames.
Blue Bayou, irritated for being ignored again, comes charging at Mew Erika with a punch but Sailor Jupiter gets in between and catches the fist with her bare hand. He staggers as the Sailor Guardian smirks confident, telling him. ''I'll be your opponent now little man.''
Bayou glares engaging Jupiter in a fist fight which Jupiter counters back with her punches and both were evenly match. This irritates Bayou madder, yelling out. ''Damn you!''
Blue Bayou slams his fist and rips the very ground from underneath, throwing it at Jupiter who smirks.
''SUPREME THUNDER!'' Her tiara pulling out a small antenna, Sailor Jupiter shouts unleashing a burst of green electricity upon the thrown earth, vaporizing it while also zapping Bayou slightly.
''BURNING MANDALA!'' Sailor Mars shouts forming 9 spheres of flames and throws them upon the swarm of Chimeras, burning them into ashes.
Mew Ichigo watches this recovering while Mew Berry sighs of relief that this might end now.
Blue Bayou pants still angry and comes charging directly at Mew Erika but she simply ducks due to her visions ability and evades his thrusting punch. He startles but smirks taunting her. ''Dodging me won't-''
Just then he's cut up by a pain across his body as he drops on the ground. He gasps in agonist pain, struggling to breathe and getting up properly. Mew Erika frowns having stung him as he came at her without him noticing it till it was too late.
She walks up to him laying on the ground and now taunts him with a small smirk. ''My stingers poison and paralyze too.''
Sweet Juliet sighs more than annoyed snapping his fingers as more of the Chimera swarm appear.
Smirking again, Mew Erika aims with her Mew weapons and tail, shouting. ''RIBBON ERIKA VENOM BURST!''
She fires a three-way venomous magical blast, striking and burning all the swarm in one shot. Everyone was left amazed with Mew Berry declaring with a smile. ''You got them!''
''Not yet dummy!'' Ucha, however, pops out just as the swarm starts reforming to everyone's shock.
''These insects are made to regenerate from your attacks.'' Sweet Juliet reveals still bored not expecting they would last this long but it's time to call it. ''Your efforts are all for null.''
Mew Erika glares annoyed as the swarm flies right back at the group.
''DRAGON SLICE ATTACK!'' Another bronze energy slash comes at the swarm. Ryan smiles firing that attack declares confident. ''But that won't stop us!''
Mew Erika eyes him blushing as the two unleash their attacks at the swarm, decreasing their numbers even as they regenerate but it became too much. Sailor Mars guards Erika with her flames as Jupiter shocks them
Ryan watches worrying as the swarm comes at him until he's suddenly pull down just evading them. He blinks looking down as it was Jonouchi tackling him. He smiles thanking him. ''Thanks Jonouchi.''
''Yea-yea…'' Jonouchi not so happy, hoping Erika acknowledges him more.
Mew Erika, angry that they tried to harm Ryan, has seen enough of his nonsense as the orange outline grows.
''My attacks won't kill them… then my mother's can!'' She proclaims letting it out with a shout, Mew Erika shouts with intense fury and power by the power of the Inner Scorpion. Blue Bayou panics while Sweet Juliet actually sweats; both never feeling such power. The other can feel this like an earthquake even affecting the Chimeras that were airborne.
Sailor Mars gets everyone near her and manifests her flames like a barrier, protecting them. She can sense this won't be pretty.
Taking aim with her tail and Erika Stingers, Mew Erika shouts as her eyes glow viciously. ''RIBBON ERIKA VENOM DESTRUCTION!''
Taking aim again, Mew Erika focuses her hardest and fires a maximum full power version of her signature orange venomous blast, unleashing it at the swarm. The attack didn't just melt them, it annihilates them to the point they couldn't even regenerate back. However, the attack might have overdone it melting the very ground and anything else it touches.
Sweet Juliet, however, used his psychic powers to protect himself and the standing up Blue Bayou from the attack though mostly the swarm taking the major amount of the attack.
Sailor Mars breathes putting down her flames for all to see the damage. Ryan whistles now seeing why Erika fears her powers though it's still cool.
''W-woah…'' Mew Berry utters kinda frightened how strong Erika is. She turns to the cat girl and smiles joking around nervously. ''G-guess you weren't needed for the final blow huh Ichigo-san?''
''…'' Now suddenly moving again as she gets back on her feet, Mew Ichigo finally mutters out. ''Maybe not Nya but...''
She starts walking up towards the two crusaders as a pink ominous outline of energy forms around her body.
The two crusaders felt something wrong as the cat girl smirks almost evilly and takes aim with her Strawberry Bell, electricity coursing through.
''THIS IS FOR RUINING MY BEST FRIEND'S DATE, JERKS!'' Mew Ichigo shouts, her eyes gaining a slitter cat-like pupils, as her weapon glows violently. ''RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHIDORI CHECK!''
She unleashes her electrical magical blast, quickly hitting and consuming the two villains but they leap away in the last second. The attack hits through the ground and destroys most of the ground and anything else in its path. Mew Berry sweat drops heavily, thinking she might have upset her.
Sweet Juliet frowns at this disaster and waste of time to do this after already completing the other part of their mission.
''This was really pointless. I hate it.'' He says vanishing. Blue Bayou sweat drops at his senior's attitude and just proclaims at the heroes. ''A-another time then…''
He too vanishes. Mew Ichigo hisses as the outline vanishes and her eyes revert back to normal.
''Damn cowards.'' Jupiter comments punching her right fist onto her left palm. Mars silently stares thinking what those two were even plotting doing this?
Mew Erika sighs of relieve this ended. She wasn't sure how long she would be strong in front of those bugs. She eyes the cat girl walking towards them almost wobbly.
''You okay Ichigo?'' She asks her friend who responds smiling weakly. ''Dizzy actually Nya…''
Just then Mew Ichigo starts falling but Mew Erika quickly grabs the cat girl by the back, making sure she doesn't fall. She sighs as Ryan says pulling out his phone. ''I'll call my limo guy.''
Mew Erika nods, thanking him blushing. ''Ryan, thank you.''
Ryan, smiling, nods happy to at least owe her back.
Mew Erika sets herself and Mew Ichigo on a bench. The cat girl purrs tilting her head a bit to her and apologizes about the date. "Sorry about your date. I should have been prepared for baka and bad guys Nya.''
The scorpion girl eyes her and just smiles replying honestly with a smile. ''Why? I had so much fun just well having had a guy talk to me.''
Mew Erika leans her head to Ichigo's and says kissing her forehead. ''Thank you.''
Mew Ichigo purrs joyfully eyeing Erika's tail near hers.
''Oh your tail Nya…'' She mutters blushing as her cat tail acts on its own and moves, wrapping around her friend's scorpion tail. Mew Erika startles at this uttering out. ''W-woah Ichigo…''
She's cut off as Mew Ichigo rests her head on Mew Erika's shoulder while purring and smiling. Mew Erika blushes redder, holding her by the waist all while the cat girl gets rather horny and rubs her friend happily. The scorpion girl blushes redder but doesn't tell her to stop, enjoying this actually.
Mew Berry sees this and blushes redder wondering if this is what Tasuku meant about girls loving each other A LOT.
Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter sweat drop blushing as they decide to head out, probably for the best to keep those two alone.
Ryan blushes really red waiting for the limo, really-REALLY lucky he's watching this.
''We're lucky mates huh?'' Ryan asks Jonouchi hoping he is watching this.
Jonouchi, indeed watching however, really hates this scene so much just because it's ICHIGO doing something hot with Erika. WHY?!
''… Hate you, hate this.'' The darkened blond headed just mutters frustrated at this unfair day. Mai sweat drops sighing as she tries to lift the idiot up. Maybe now he'll give up on Erika… hopefully.
Still watching, Arkham in the shadows had watch and just hums humorous. Now he should try to learn who these Crusaders really are and what they want... and their connection to that old woman.
Now inside the limo, Ryan takes the girls to their homes with Berry being drop off first.
Erika relaxes happily… though she isn't exactly happy. This sensation of the Mew Mews' new enemy doesn't seem to be towards the Crusaders. But then what? What could this ominous feeling belong to? Erika shakes her head, must be overthinking. Yea, that must be it. This has been a long day.
She looks at Ryan and just smiles who smiles back, grateful for spending time with her.
Ichigo purrs relaxing, getting better while still resting her head on Erika's shoulder. She blushes still redder checking her phone and then gets a message. She reads it and startles slightly.
Turning towards her friend, Erika calls out to her. ''Ichigo.''
''Yea?'' Ichigo just replies still resting on her shoulder, finally starting to doze off. Erika sighs tapping her head and informs her. ''I got a message… from Masaya.''
Immediately the red cherry head lifts herself upward with a surprised expression. Ryan blinks recalling that's Erika's brother from their date talk.
Blushing by the news, Erika tells her. ''He's coming back.''
Ichigo just stares at her even more surprised but blushes. She isn't sure how to feel… but she does know this, she knew one day she would have to see him again. She can only hope nothing weird again happens between Yugi and Masaya… hopefully.
Will things end up like last time and will the girls learn what the Crusaders are even up to?
To be continued…

Author's Note: Longest chapter for once!
Just a chapter about friends, love… and don't piss off Erika Aoyama. I want to clarified this… there was a reviewer to a story Redwallfan2000 stopped writing, Tokyo Mew Moon 3, in which this person said Erika was a Mary Sue… No. I don't agree. Erika is flaw, powerful but has a temper; she's heroic but tries to do things alone so others don't have to. If anything, Erika needed a story base around her before Tokyo Mew Moon. I didn't do it for DKR but I have done stuff that anyone, even Redwall would do: give her a spotlight, let us see her character and see these flaws while keeping her destructive power there but not fully hers to control yet. If anything, DKR Erika is getting there more than her Tokyo Mew Moon version but again, growth and developing. Anyway, that guy is a dick. Any character can be a Mary Sue and it's up to the writer to not fuck it up… or us fanfic writers to fix those mistakes.
… SO what you guys thought of this chapter though?
Anyway next time is Jenny/Mew Plum's chapter turn and then I'll explain the chapter after that.
Sorry for the late upload... stuff.
