ED: DREAM! DREAM! DREAM! ~Waking Up Your Future~

Episode 19: |How A Kingdom Falls! I'm Sorry!| (Part 2)

Bukku likes to walk outside the castle grounds. None of the servants ever stopped him and it wasn't like he was ever needed at home. The small prince was use to being alone and learned how to keep himself entertained. Near the gates, a group of young fairies race by Bukku, laughing and smiling. They had gone right past him like he didn't even exist. That was how it usually went, but it still hurt every time. Just once he wishes they would invite him along. But, they never will. Because he's different. Because he's a freak. Because he was born wrong.

"Bukku."

Bukku's ears immediately prick up. I…I know that voice!

The small fairy jerks away and his melancholy eyes fill with pure joy, "Kuroizado?" The wizard was right there! Right in front of Bukku and he couldn't believe it! "Kuroizado!"

Overjoyed, Bukku races over to his friend and hugs his leg. "I can't believe you're here, Kuroizado…"

To Bukku's surprise Kuroizado pushes him aside coldly. "Yes, yes. It is good to see you too, Your Highness."

In that moment, Bukku takes a better look at the wizard. He looked…different. Really different. His skin was so pale that it was practically grey, he had strange dark blue triangle-shaped markings under his eyes, and he wasn't smiling. He wasn't even wearing his usually white wizard cloak. Now, he was wearing a black-coloured one with a single indigo stripe on either side with an aquamarine kimono. Even his eyes seemed different. They were still that luminous indigo-colour, but now they looked so distant; even though Kuroizado was standing right in front of him, he, somehow, seemed so far away.

"W-What are you doing here, Kuroizado?" stammers Bukku. "I-I thought my parents banished you~buku?"

Kuroizado doesn't respond for the longest time, he just stares up silently at the castle. "Yes, they did. But, I have had an…an epiphany of sorts." The wizard stalks along the castle and places his hand on the wall surrounding it. "I have decided to stop my foolish antics of using dark magic. It is a path not meant to go down. I came here hoping to make peace with the King and Queen and be accepted back as their Royal Wizard."

Bukku could barely believe his ears. "B-But, you said that dark magic would better this kingdom~buku! W-What about the promise we made to give me the power of a normal fairy~buku?!"

"Huh? Oh right, that," says Kuroizado half-heartedly. "I am…I am sure we can find another way. But, listen, Prince Bukku—" the wizard crotches down and faces the small fairy eye-to-eye "—would you allow me to meet with your parents? I would like to return to Fanciful Kingdom and revoke my art of dark magic."

"Um…I don't know," murmurs Bukku. Kuroizado is acting…strange. What did banishment do to him?

Kuroizado pats Bukku gently on the head. "Please, my son. I want to make things right."

Bukku bits his lips, but nods his head. "Okay~buku."

The wizard bows his head. "Thank you, Your Highness. You were always a loyal one."

Bukku flinches at this, but shakes his head and takes his friend within the walls. As they head inside the castle and the young prince leads them through the corridors, a glow of red passes through the wizard's eyes and he sneaks a malevolent smile.

"They're in the throne room~buku," murmurs Bukku as they walk down the empty hallway. "But, don't expect them to welcome you back with open arms~buku."

"Do not worry, Your Highness," says Kuroizado as they reach the grand door of the throne room. "I will handle things from here."

Bukku bites his tongue as Kuroizado opens the main door and they walk into the throne room. King Sutori, Queen Peiji, and Kuiru are there. In that moment, Bukku remembers back when he confronted them on banishing Kuroizado. They were in the same place, but now the wizard wasn't walking out, he was walking in and straight towards them.

Hearing the sound of the grand door opening, the King and Queen turn around to face the newcomer. Bukku would never forget their expression. They were like ice. They stood motionless in place and their eyes were frozen at the sight of the wizard.

"K-Kuroizado?" gulps Peiji with a shaky voice. "I-Is that you~piji?"

Kuroizado smirks. "Indeed it is." He takes a step closer and, with a flick of his wrist, the grand door swings shut behind him and Bukku. "And we have much to discuss, Your Majesties."

King Sutori turns to his youngest son in confusion, "Bukku! What is the meaning of this~sutu?!"

Bukku shadows his face. "No, this is your doing~buku! This is the consequences of your actions for banishing Kuroizado!"

Queen Peiji's eyes soften, "Bukku…"

"You are such a moron, Bukku~kuru!" snaps Kuiru furiously, "Why would you bring him here~kuru?!"

Kuroizado turns to the eldest prince and gives him a condescending smile. "Watch your tongue, Your Highness. I would appreciate it if you would leave my partner alone."

"P-Partner~kuru?" scoffs Kuiru. He glares down his brother who matches him with his eyes of red. "Bukku, what did you do~kuru?!"

"What do you want, Kuroizado?" demands King Sutori, protectively stepping in front of his wife and son.

Kuroizado grins at him with disdain. "I just wanted you tell you…you were right." Sutori narrows his eyes baffled. "During my time in banishment, I realized something…"

The wizard reaches out his arm and opens his palm to reveal a dark orb of pure dark magic, "…Dark magic could never be used for good. It can only be used for destructing and casting others into the darkness of sorrow and despair…"

Kuroizado smiles wickedly and his eyes flash crimson red, "…And that is exactly how I am going to use it!"

"Wait~sutu!" cries out King Sutori too little too late.

The orb slips from Kuroizado's fingers and smashes to the ground. A giant blizzard of purple-and-black coloured dark magic rain over the throne room, sending the Royal Family hurtling into the wall behind them. Bukku looks around frantically as the room is thrown into chaos, destroying everything is can get its hands on; shattering the stain glass windows surrounding them, breaking the chandeliers from their chains and having them smash to the ground, tearing up the banners and carpet, and knocking over the royal thrones.

Something came out of the darkness. A tall woman with an elegant figure, but with strange pale grey-purple skin, long dark maroon hair, garnet red eyes, elf-ears just like Kuroizado, and a lilac-coloured star marking under her left eye. She was dressed in red-gemstone jewelry and an hour-glass dark blue-and-purple dress. At first she looked gorgeous, but then Bukku noticed the slit down the left side of her dress and what he saw made his body tremble. A row of mismatching eyes went down her leg, looking around sporadically. They were ugly and terrifying to look at. Bukku covers his mouth with his paws to stop from puking.

"Kuroizado-sama," the woman says with a deep, yet alluring voice that lets his name roll beautifully off her tongue, "Do you want me…to destroy these filthy creatures?"

Bukku chokes on his own breathe as he looks over at his family staggering to get to their feet. Even injured, his father is still trying to help his love. "Y-You will not touch my family~sutu!" roars King Sutori. "I won't let you lay a finger on them~sutu! You hear me~sutu?!"

Kuroizado laughs at this. But, it wasn't his usually light-hearted laugh like when Bukku use to make jokes. It was a hideous laugh. It was terrifying. Bukku wanted to cover his ears, cover his eyes, and pretend he wasn't there anymore; that he was under his favourite tree drawing a picture of him in a superhero costume. But, all he could do was stand there and do nothing except watch.

"No, no," snickers Kuroizado in amusement. "I do not want to destroy you. That would be too easy. I want you to suffer! I want you to see everything you love crumble around you! All your hardwork be turned to dust! Like how I suffered! How I suffered after you banished me from the kingdom that I loved!"

"You can't compare suffering, Kuroizado!" states King Sutori struggling to his feet. "My love and I saw you were going down the wrong path and we had to stop you! I can see now that might have only sealed it. However! Putting your anger and pain on others is not the answer, Kuroizado!"

Kuroizado irritably twists his head to one side. "I am tired of your babbling." He snaps his fingers. "Now, where did you hide the Fairytale Puppets?"

King Sutori's eyes widen and Kuroizado smirks patronizingly. "Do not take me for a fool, Your Majesty. I know Hikaru hide the Fairytale Puppets somewhere in this throne room. Now, I will ask again; where are they?"

It was for only a moment, but Bukku saw his father glance other at his throne that had been knocked over. Unfortunately, Kuroizado noticed too and gazes over at the tarnished throne.

He smiles snootily and turns to his mistress of darkness, "Linda, darling, if you please..."

Linda bows her head and struts out to the throne. Linda throws up her hand and her nails grow and sharpen into blades. She cuts up the cushion of the throne chair and a flurry of Fairytale Puppet fall out.

"A trickster to the very end, Hikaru," coos Kuroizado as Linda hands him the batch of Fairytale Puppets.

"Alright, you have them now~sutu," snorts King Sutori crossly. "Now what are you going to do with them~sutu?"

Kuroizado plucks down one of the puppets from the group and holds it out in his hand. "Simple. Fairytale Puppets bring about happy dreams and folklore that bring young ones hope and joy. I am going to take that all away. I am going to demonstrate the true power of dark magic!"

Bukku, King Sutori, Queen Peiji, and Kuiru look on in horror as dark-colour magic completely consumes the puppet, warping its appearance and turning it into pure evil. "Behold," grins Kuroizado as he drops the darkened Fairytale Puppet, "My precious creation. My Endingu!"

The Endingu Doll hits the ground and a huge monster appears from the small doll. "Endingu!" the monster murmurs as its red eyes flash alive. Bukku backs up in fear and trips over his own feet and lands on his bottom, but is unable to look away from the horrifying monster.

"This magic~sutu," realizes King Sutori. "This level of magic could have come from only one source~sutu."

"From him~piji?" gasps Queen Peiji.

"But, I don't understand~sutu. How did you break the seal of his prison, Kuroizado? Only a member of the Royal Family can break the seal~sutu!"

"Yes! Magnificent is it not!" boasts Kuroizado as he faces the young prince. "And I could not have done it without you, Bukku!"

Bukku goes numb as he feels his family's gaze pierce through his heart, "W-What~buku?"

Kuroizado reaches into his cloak and pulls out Bukku's red cape. "Your hero cape, my present to you that you returned was all I needed to break the seal and gain even greater power!" He smiles down on the small fairy. "Thank you for your help, Bukku! I could not have done it without you!"

Soon, everything was thrown into chaos. With his Endingu and Dark Charm Knights by his side, Kuroizado made the kingdom of dreams and hope fall to nightmares and despair. Kuroizado had overthrown the kingdom and captured all of its citizens and was holding them captive. The colour of life was drained from Fanciful Kingdom and had turned into a battlefield. And it all my fault. This is all my fault.

Through a crumbling kingdom, Bukku ran. As fast as his stubby legs could carry him, he ran.

"Endingu!" A monster strikes at the small fairy, but he manages to crawl underneath a fallen pillar and avoid getting captured. Once the Endingu passed, Bukku made a break for it for any safe haven. But, the castle was practically all in ruins. Only a few rooms managed to hold on against the ruthless Endingu and Dark Charm Knights. There was only one place left Bukku could think of where he would be safe.

"Where are you, fairy brat~?" chimes a voice.

Without hesitation, Bukku quietly ducks under a pile rumble and covers his mouth and silence his panicked breathing. One of the Dark Charm Knights, Thames, flies overhead, searching around the ground as he goes.

"Bukku, Bukku, wherefore art thou Bukku," snickers Thames. Luckily, he flies right past the scared fairy.

"THAMES!" yells Xoanon, meeting his teammate in the sky. "HAVE YOU FOUND THE PRINCE YET?"

Thames shakes his head. "That li'l runt is a slippery one."

"COME ON! HE COULDN'T HAVE GONE FAR!" With that, the two Dark Charm Knights teleport out of sight.

Bukku lets out a huge sigh of reflex and slips out of his hiding spot and manages to reach the last remaining tower. He races up the swirl staircase and reaches Kuroizado's old studies. But, as he's able to reach for the door, a voice inside stop him cold in his tracks.

"Father, what are you doing~kuru?" It was his brother Kuiru.

"Your father is creating a portal~piji." Mother.

"It will get you and your mother out of here safely~sutu," explains King Sutori from inside the room.

"But, what about you~kuru?" demands Kuiru. "Why don't you come with us~kuru?"

"This portal can only take two people~sutu," explains the King. "Besides, as king, I must stay behind and protect our people~sutu."

"It's alright, luv~piji," assures Queen Peiji. "Once we get through to the other side of the portal, we'll be about to find the PreCure~piji."

Bukku ears prick up. PreCure? What is that?

"The PreCure will be able to save us~piji."

"Okay~kuru. I understand~kuru."

I don't! Bukku wanted to chime in. What is this PreCure? How is it supposed to help?

"SO! THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE HIDING!"

Bukku nearly jumps out of his skin when he turns around and is face-to-face with Xoanon and the rest of the Dark Charm Knights.

"Find you~," smiles Thames.

"AHHHH!" cries Bukku and bursts through the door. His family spin around and their eyes widen in fear as they rapidly spot him and the Dark Charm Knights.

"Gee thanks, Bukku," Linda grins as she walks into the room. "You helped us find the King and Queen too! You're so much help."

Bukku backs up and looks back at his family. Then he spots the portal. A blue-and-lime coloured swirling portal in the center of the room. He looks back at the towering Dark Charm Knight and Linda reaches out to snatch him. "Come on, small prince. Kuroizado-sama demands to see you."

His feet move on their own. With thinking, the young fairy runs out of Linda's reach and races for the portal. Pushing past his brother and mother, Bukku jumps through the portal.

Bukku flies through a flurry of light that takes his breath away. Bukku manages to look back and can sees his family getting cornered by the Dark Charm Knight and Kuiru glaring down at him, "YOU COWARD~kuru!"

Before he can do and say anything, Bukku pops out of the other side of the portal. He manages to regain his breath and take the moment to look around. Blue? Everything is blue! Why did the portal take me here? How is the world of blue going too—no—wait there's a cloud! Oh, there's another cloud!

Then, Bukku decides to look down and it suddenly hits him. He's in middle of the sky, fifty-feet off the ground. At that moment, gravity welcomes the prince, "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Bukku starts frantically flapping his arms like a chicken, but the small flightless fairy begins falling from the sky. Through the tears of air rushing in his face, Bukku sees that he racing towards and giant plan of grass. No, there's something else. Or, someone. In the middle of the field is a girl. She's lying on her back, looking up at the sky. No, now she's getting up and is pointing up at Bukku. He is falling straight for her.

"Hey~buku! Get out the way you doofus~buku!" Bukku tries to call, but the girl just stand there completely perplexed. "Are you deaf or something, idiot~buku?! I said; get out of the way~buku!"

"A talking stuffed animal?" gasps the girl.

A talking…what? What the heck is she talking about! "Are you stupid~buku! Move~buku!"

She girl reaches out her arms. "Oh, wait! Hold on! I can catch you—!" Apparently, she's a horrible catcher because instead of soft, warm arms, Bukku clashes head-on with the girl's inhumanly hard forehead.

"Dear god, you really are an airhead~buku!"

"That's right," sneers Linda in amusement. "Not only did your precious Prince Bukku help Kuroizado destroy Fanciful Kingdom, but Bukku deserted his family and ran away like a coward without a care! Too scare to face what he had done!"

The story hit the PreCure like a rock.

"F-Fairy-san? Is this true?" Cure Mythical croaks out weakly.

Cure Enchant shoots a glare at the eldest prince, "Kuiru, why didn't you say anything?!"

Kuiru faces his brother. "I hoped we could avoid this~kuru. But, deepdown, I knew it was only a matter of time before the truth came out~kuru. Well, what do you have to say for yourself, dear brother~kuru?" But, Bukku is silent with his head down looking to the ground, refusing to look at anyone.

Thames laughs at this. "Wwwhhhaaattt, can't confess, fairy brat? Can't face the PreCure who are trying to clean up your mess? Ha-ha! You are so weak—!"

"—I don't care!"

Everyone stops and turns to see Cure Fable standing in front of Bukku with her pink-coloured eyes piercing through the Dark Charm Knights. "I don't care what Bukku did in the past! All that matters is what he does now!"

The small prince lifts his head to her with tearful eyes, "Cure Fable."

"If Bukku didn't care, if Bukku was a coward, he wouldn't have tried to find us! He wouldn't be here trying to fix his mistakes, trying to save his kingdom and our world if he didn't care!" The Pink PreCure looks up at the leader with anger blazing in her eyes. "So, I don't care what you say! I think Bukku is amazing!"

"You do realize this is all his fault," smirks Linda, humorously folding her arms. "The reason your world, your family and friends are in danger."

"But, I wouldn't have become a PreCure either!" argues Cure Fable as she turns to face her teammates. "And I would've have met Mythical or Enchant. We wouldn't have ever become friends. All of that was thanks to Bukku!"

Cure Mythical blinks in surprise but nods, "Yeah. That's right! His supportive methods may be a bit unorthodox, but Fairy-san helped me realize that it was okay to be scared and helped me gain my courage!"

"Huh?" gawks Thames in disbelief, "A coward teaching how to be courageous? Don't be stupid, brainy."

"Hit us with your best shot!" Cure Enchant smirks, pointing her thumb to her chest. "But, well won't let you take Bukku!"

"Tsk!" scoffs Linda. "Humans are such a pain! Ask for one lousy fairy and they pick a fight!"

"THAT DOES IT!" roars Xoanon, cracking his knuckles. "I'M GONNA TEAR THESE GIRLS TO PIECES!"

"I'm with ya on that, Xoanon," coos Thames, tossing away his lollipop.

"Yes," smiles Linda wickedly. "Let's see how strong you really are, Fairytale Pretty Cure!"

Before any of the girls has time to react, the Dark Charm Knights strike. Xoanon hurtles at Cure Mythical and punches her in the stomach.

"KYAAA!" screams Cure Mythical as she is sent flying.

"Mythical!" cries Cure Enchant. Too distracted with her unaided friend, the Green PreCure doesn't see her foe coming until it was too late. Thames smashes her down into ground. The green warrior gasps out in pain as he knocks the wind out of her.

"Enchant!" calls Cure Fable.

Linda charges at the Pink PreCure, trying to pull the same stunt, but the pink warrior is on guard, "PreCure Punch!" She hits the leader in the shoulder. But, the victory was sort lived when Cure Fable feels a twinge of pain in her stomach.

In the clash, Linda manages to put her hand on Cure Fable's stomach, digging her long nails into her skin. Cure Fable sees a flash of purple illuminate from Linda's palm and is shot with a powerful blast of dark magic that ripples through every inch of her body and sends her flying through the air where Linda rapidly teleport, waiting for her. She lifts her hand into the sky and bashed the defenceless legendary warrior to the ground.

"Cure Fable!" cries out Bukku and Kuiru.

This is my fault.

Cure Mythical isn't fairing any better. Xoanon is relentless; over and over again with his meaty fists at her while she barely holds it off with her Wise Safeguard.

"I'M GONNA SMASH YOU TO THE GROUND, CURE MYTHICAL!" roars Xoanon as he drives a powerful kick into Cure Mythical's shield. With a single hit, the shield of light shattered into a hundred pieces and Xoanon jabs the Blue PreCure in the chest.

"No!" sqeals Cure Mythical in panic.

Xoanon doesn't even give her a chance to fight back as it pins her to the ground, one arm locked behind her back. Every time the blue warrior tries to struggle free, Xoanon would only twist her arm more, "KYA!" Cure Mythical cries out in pain as he tightens his grip.

This is all my fault.

"Quiet dodging my attacks, you punk!" snaps Cure Enchant as she frantically tries to hit the young Dark Charm Knight.

"Hehe," he chuckles, "You mmmaaaddd?"

"Argh!" shouts Cure Enchant as she sends a flurry of punches and kicks, but he manages to evade them all, "ARGH!"

"Oh, oh! She's panicking! She's panicking!" Thames snickers as he reaches into his pocket and pops one of his lollipops into her mouth.

To Cure Enchant's surprise, she starts feeling overwhelmingly drozy. Her arms and legs feel like they're being weighed down by anchors. The Green PreCure closes her eyes and collapses to the ground.

"And now she's asleep," snarks Thames.

All my fault.

A tear falls down Bukku's cheek. "I didn't…I didn't want this~buku." Now, a burst of tears is streaming from the young fairy's eyes. He closes his eyes and lets them flow. "I didn't…want any of this to happen~buku."

Kuiru looks to his brother with pity, "Brother~kuru."

Bukku tightens his paws. "I was mad~buku. Yes~buku. I was at the world that rejected me for being born different~buku. But, it's not like I could control that~buku! It's not like I chose to be born without magic~buku! I was mad at Dad, Mom, and Kuiru. But, I never wanted them to ever be in danger~buku! This is all my fault~buku. All my fault~buku."

"It's okay, Your Highness."

Bukku snaps his eyes open and looks up. Cure Fable is lying battered on the ground, covering with bruises and snatches, but is smiling strongly at him. The most beautiful smile Bukku had ever seen.

"Everything is going to be okay, Prince Bukku," smiles Cure Fable hopefully.

"Shut up, you pest!" barks Linda as she dropkicks down on the pink warrior.

Bukku flinches as the Pink PreCure lets out a sharp yelp of pain. But, the smile remains on her face. She reaches her hand out to him. "Remember, Bukku. Remember the promise I made the first day we met?"

Bukku tries to speak, but never comes out; only short gasps.

Her eyes soften. "I promised that I wouldn't let anyone hurt you. That I would always protect you."

"But, why~buku," Bukku manages to sqeak out weakily. "Why would you protect me~buku?"

"Because," beams Cure Fable, "You're my friend, Bukku."

Bukku's eyes widen. Friend?

"You know, you're really starting to piss me off!" snaps Linda. She grabs Cure Fable by the hair and smashes to head down on the floor.

"Cure Fable!" gasps Bukku.

"Don't…don't worry, Bukku," Cure Fable continues to smile. "My supreme smile power will always win."

Linda kicks the PreCure of Dreams aside. "That does it! It's time we destroy like we should have from the beginning!"

The Dark Charm Knights fly up into the air and stand side-by-side. "Let's show 'em the power of our dark magic!" says Thames, sticking his tongue out at the fallen warriors. He charges up green-coloured dark magic. It swirls inside his hands as Linda and Xoanon follow suit with red and golden-coloured power.

"GOODBYE, FAIRYTALE PRETTY CURE!" roars Xoanon as they leashe their dark magic down on the defenceless PreCure.

"WAIT~buku!"

The Dark Charm Knights stop as the small fairy runs in front of the PreCure and shreads his arms out wide like a shield.

"Leave them alone~buku. Please~buku," says Bukku, clutching his fists tightly. "I will go with you~buku. But, please, let them go~buku."

Cure Fable is barely able to lift her head, "Bukku? What are you…?"

"Thank you, Cure Fable," murmurs Bukku, unable look at her face-to-face. "Thank for protecting me~buku. Thank you for putting up with me~buku. And I'm sorry for always calling you an idiot~buku. I'm sorry for always acting like a brat~buku. But, I finally understand~buku."

"Fairy-san?" gulps Cure Mythical.

"Every since I was little, I dreamed of being a hero~buku. But, heroes don't run and hide~buku. They put others before themselves~buku. They sacrifice themselves for the ones they care about~buku. Just like my father and just like you, Cure Fable. You put your life at risk to protect someone like me~buku. Someone you didn't even know~buku. But, you didn't care~buku. All you cared about was everyone's elses safety~buku. And now, that's what I'm going to do~buku."

Bukku steps forward and faces the Dark Charm Knights. "So, I'll go with you~buku. But, you can't hurt my friend anymore~buku."

Linda snorts, but Xoanon puts a hand on her shoulder. "KUROIZADO-SAMA DID SAY HE ONLY WANTED THE PRINCE, LINDA. LET'S NOT DISOBEY HIM."

Linda scares down bitterly for the longest time until she fine rolls her eyes, "Alright." She soars down and lands right in front of the small prince. "For the sake of Kuroizado's wishes, we will follow your demands. This battle is over. Now come along, little fairy."

Bukku nods his head and takes a step towards her.

"Bukku!" cries Cure Fable, holding back her tears. "Please…don't…"

Bukku turns his head and gives her a brave smile. "Goodbye…Imari."

Next Time on Fairytale Pretty Cure!

Imari: We let Bukku get captured by the Dark Charm Knights.

Tomoka: What are we gonna do?

Nijiko: What kind of stupid question it that?

Tomoka: Nijiko?

Bukku: You're gonna find a way to save him!

Tomoka: But, how?

Nijiko: I don't know, but we can't just give up!

Imari: Save Bukku! To Desolate Castle We Go!
