Yes, another Pretty Cure Chapter. Since I enjoy the series a lot, I thought I'd write another chapter for Aikastu and Pretty Cure. (Spoiler, Aikatsu chapter is next) While this chapter, I'm limiting the series' down to KiraKira Pretty Cure a la mode, HUGtto Pretty Cure, and, Star Twinkle Pretty Cure. Basically a shortened 'All Stars' but having 16 franchises all at once, it's hard to come up with a chapter with over fifty characters, so I limited it down to sixteen, as Bloodyguy stated, the previous chapter was dark and messed up, so I thought I'd tone it down (a little), but added a little twist to this chapter.
Chapter 13: Pretty Cure Piranha Saga: The Floating Island
Where the Chakroad took Petey, was a place full of nature, tress, and low hills, unfortunately, Petey Piranha was hoping for those hills to have eyes, like almost everything in the Mushroom Kingdom. Past the low forest terrain, was what looked like a small city or town, looking at the interstate sign, it said, "Mihoshi Town." A place where he thought he'd never visit again.
Growling loudly in frustration, Petey stomped the ground multiple times with one of his stubs, because he didn't have cages on him to slam around aimlessly. Well, at least not until later.
To ease his anger towards landing on Glitter Force Turf a little more, he tilted his head up, and bellowed a great roar. Causing the ground around him to shake.
"Oyo?" A lovely alien named Lala asked, when she heard a small echo, and the ground rumble slightly.
"Is something wrong?" Lala's pink haired friend, Hikaru shouted from below.
"I thought I heard something -lun!" Lala called. "Must of heard something…maybe?"
After the events of five chapters ago, the top of Lala's Rocket seemingly disappeared, including the top window, and the big striped pink ribbon on the top. With no experience of welding, Lala took measures into her own hands. Even getting no where, she still tried to repair with the help of her personal computer, A.I.
But still, after a month, no progress was made.
Climbing down from her ladder, she walked over to her friends for a break.
"Ugh!" Hikaru sighed. "Can't we just take The Rocket to Flare? Then we can fix it in no time!"
"Hikaru." Madoka tried to reason. "The Rocket can't operate in this condition! It won't even start."
"Unless we get welding degrees." Elena smiled. "We won't make any progress."
Lala finally, after being pressured by her friends for a month, decided to stop.
"How will my Rocket ever fly again?" She moaned. "Will I ever get back home?"
"No worries!" Prunce exclaimed. "We still have Fuwa to warp us!"
"Fuwa!" Fuwa agreed.
"According to Miss Ichika and Miss Hana, some of their objects have disappeared, all seem to be related to interdimensional matter collisions." A.I responded.
Hikaru angrily swung her fists in a playful manner. "Why! Why! Why! Why did that mutant plant have to come and ruin everything!" She shouted.
"I'm guessing..." Elena thought. "That some of their objects were taken by rifts?"
"Wasn't that what A.I just said -meow?" Yuni replied.
Instead of going back to work, the five friends decided to head back down to the Mihoshi Town Shopping District, for some well needed Star Donuts.
The shopping mall, that once belonged to Retail Row was now gone from the District, and had returned to it's once former self, with the exception of the small Taco shop that was the last remaining relic of the Rift Zone.
"Hey! Big-Sis!" Elena's younger brother, Touma ran out. "We grew a totally new plant, I don't think they originate from Japan!"
Hikaru's eyes immediately sparkled. "Twincool! I wanna see it too!"
When the cures arrived at the Sonrisa, Takuto and Ikuto were already staring at whatever plant it was.
"I think it was called, a Venus Flytrap?" Touma asked.
"Yep! That sounds about right!" Elena replied. "They're perfect for eating pesky, little insects in the summer."
Reina picked up the flower pot. "It's a little big and bulky, but that's what Papa called it." Touma said, when Reina held the pot, and showed the cures.
Hikaru's once curious and happy expression, how changed into a frightened expression, along with the four others.
"T-That isn't a Venus Flytrap." Madoka stammered.
The 'Venus Flytrap' that Reina was holding, was actually a sleeping Piranha Plant.
"I thought he left!" Yuni gasped. "Unless he produced offspring to create more vile beasts!"
"He's a king -lun!" Lala shouted. "I'm glad he can't make more copies of himself!"
Suddenly, the Piranha Plant stirred and woke up unexpected.
"Oh no!" Lala gasped, covering her mouth. "I forgot how sensitive they are to waking up!"
Sticking his tongue out, and violently swinging his head, the Piranha Plant roared, and started biting at Anna and Reina, both screamed and backed into a wall.
After a series of bites, it slowly turned it's head and looked at the cures viciously.
"I can tell its looking at us, but it has no eyes!" Hikaru whispered softly.
Scaring everyone, it roared again, and started to bite the cures, the length of his stem prevented the Piranha Plant from actually biting them.
"Haaaaaaaahh!" Lala shouted, gaining energy to her antennas and puffing out her cheeks, until they turned pink, and both her antennas glowed. "LUN!"
Releasing the electricity volts from her antennas, Lala electrocuted the Piranha Plant, causing it to roar in agony. Finally, after roaring for about a minute, it fell silent, shriveled up, and died. Causing it to drop a single coin.
Picking up the coin, Hikaru's eyes sparkled again. "How much do you think this is worth? It's so cool!"
"Thanks Lady Lala, I thought it was going to bite me." Touma sighed.
Lala laughed nervous and scratched her head. "There's no need to be formal! You can just call me Lala!"
"But how did that Giant Piranha Plant grow another one?" Elena asked, growing serious.
"Maybe in that brown mud he hurls, seeds are in them to create more Piranha Plants?" Hikaru asked puzzled.
"Whatsa Pwanha Pwant?" Anna asked curiously.
"Don't worry about that!" Madoka replied rubbing her head. "If you see one, just tell us!"
Everyone decided to drop that the fact of a Piranha Plant was in Mihoshi Town, but things were different in other cities.
Everyday customers of the KiraKira Patisserie, had to wait. Because almost the entire KiraPati was gone. All that was left, was a few kitchen utensils, and tables.
"Aaarrrgh!" Aoi shouted. "Why doesn't that stupid Piranha just take everything too? It took the entire thing!"
The sign of Beauty Harry was gone, along with a few mannequins and clothes.
"What the?!" Harry shouted. "WHO WOULD STEAL MY CLOTHES, ALONG WITH MY SIGN?!"
"Are you sure it wasn't that vile Piranha beast?!" Homare asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Who else would've taken it?" Emiru shouted. "He's the only culprit, I say!"
And now, every other Cure was accusing Petey Piranha of stealing their relics, like the furniture at Nobel Academy, or the four leaf clover that used to be on the top of Clover Tower. And of course, all cures blamed Petey Piranha for stealing such valuable artifacts, except Clara, who knew it was the rifts taking them.
But Petey was still in Mihoshi Town, sleeping off his massive tantrum. Suddenly, Petey sensed Bowser Jr. once again, this time, it came from the ocean at Hagukumi City. Which was the destination he immediately started to fly to.
Then it changed to Ichigozaka, and Mihoshi Town again. That's when Petey understood the mind game. It was forming a triangle within the city limits of the three cities.
"Heeheehee!" Bowser Jr. giggled. "After this, I just need the legs!" Then he slammed a button, causing the Rift Zone to activate, however, no bubble was created.
The transmission darted to the sky, causing it to strike Petey and repel him upwards.
Roaring loudly, it finally reached the atmosphere. Creating another loud explosion, creating a massive rift in the sky. (The size of the rift was due to Petey's body going through.)
"What in the—?" Ichika shouted, when the rift exploded.
Everyone looked up when the phenomenon happened. Madoka's father immediately went to work, to see how this had occurred.
Unfortunately, it didn't last long, it simply shriveled up.
The cures were left with nothing but curiosity when the rift exploded, however, no rift zone was activated.
Two days passed, and still nothing was unusual. The cures still were confused what happened, but decided to ignore it completely. And Petey Piranha was still no where to be found.
Hikaru, Lala and everyone still attended school, like everyone else.
Hana, Saaya and Homare helped Harry remodel his shop back to the way it was.
Ichika had set up a small KiraPati in Ichigozaka Town Square.
And still nothing unusual happened.
At least, not until a few hours later, when Pekorin came to Ichika in a panic.
"Ichika!" Pekorin cried.
Pekorin's sudden appearance made Ichika jump a little. "W-What's wrong Pekorin?!"
"Ichigoyama! Something appeared! The trees around died, and the grass turned to rock! It's right near the fairy village -peko!"
"What?!" Ciel exclaimed. "We need to go there now!"
BGM: Bowser's Coming! (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)
By the time Ichika and the others arrived at the scene. Hana and Hikaru were already there.
"Oh! Ichika-Chan!" Hana exclaimed. "We got information that another 'Corrupted' Area appeared."
"Corrupted Area? Are you referring to this?" Ichika asked.
"Yeah! One appeared outside of the Mihoshi Town's Shopping District, so I started calling them Corrupted Areas, it's a Twincool name, right?" Hikaru exclaimed with sparkling eyes.
"Well, aren't you full of surprises?" Yukari smiled, and started scratching Hikaru's chin.
"Indeed, I agree as well." Ruru replied with a smile.
"One is right outside Beauty Harry's front door! Even Hugtan feels something's wrong about it, I say!" Emiru shouted.
"So far there are only three?" Madoka asked Akira.
"I haven't heard anything from Mirai, Riko or Ha-Chan. So I'm guessing it's only in our three cities?" Suddenly Akira gasped, and pointed. "What on earth is that?!"
In the center of the Corrupted Area, was a purple, glowing rune. It's persistent was unknown.
"I can't translate that Kanji." Madoka replied, squinting. "Ruru, can your database translate it?"
Ruru took a moment to scan it, then she gasped at the sight. "It-Its the exact same encrypted language from when I received the distress signal. I still can't make it out, but I know it must be another scheme by a The Seven!"
"I'm guessing the other Corrupted Areas have a rune as well?" Aoi asked. "Even so, what do they even mean?!"
"Are they holding some kind of energy?" Himari asked. "It's glowing purple, so I thought..."
"We should inform the locals that everything is most likely okay, and to stay away from these sites." Ciel announced.
"I can get A.I to inform everyone in Hagukumi City, hopefully it reaches the news, so everyone in Japan can be alerted about this ~lun." Lala explained.
"Hold on a moment." Ruru asked. "I added the Areas to my GPS system, and it seems to form...a perfect triangle."
"I-Is there something suspicious in the center, I say?" Emiru asked nervously.
"Nothing right now, if something does, it might be related to these runes, and Corrupted Areas." Ruru stated.
"Alright!" Hikaru exclaimed. "Let's go to Hagukumi City!"
"FUUUUUUU—WWAAAAAA!" Fuwa screamed, and teleported everyone through a wormhole.
Her wormhole teleported them to the old Final Battle ring, where they fought Petey Piranha a month ago, currently unused, and located in Pleasant Park.
"Such pitiful memories." Elena mumbled as they left the old decaying arena.
"A.I, can you get into the system?" Lala asked her gauntlet, with A.I's memories stored inside.
"Should I warn the civilians about the Corrupted Areas, Miss Lala?" A.I asked before proceeding.
Lala nodded, and with one button, A.I was inside of the emergency broadcast systems.
"Alert! All civilians are to not to be anywhere near Corrupted Areas, located at D8, A4, and G5. If one should approach these areas, please proceed with caution."
Everyone was confused at first, then understood what the message meant.
"There! That should be a lot of—!" Lala paused, so did everyone else.
The ground started rumbling, causing everyone to loose their balance.
"W-What is Ha-Happening?" Hana rattled.
"H-Ha-Hagyu!" Hugtan whimpered, and hugged close to Hana.
Suddenly, a rift opened up again, striking the water, and a distant island far away.
The water ripples were massive, and it almost looked like the island started to rise.
Everyone turned, with their mouths hanging wide open, dropping anything they had in their hands. (Except babies.)
BGM: Stand and Fight, Luigi! (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)
The water currents around the island splashed against the ground surrounding the island, and the island itself seemed to be a Rift Zone.
Rising, the island in a cone shape, started creating a maelstrom, along with a large tornado surrounding the island.
Track Reaches — 0:15
Stunned, the cures watched the island rise. Powerful winds blew at their hair. Casting a large shadow, the island fully blocked out the sun.
What seemed to be resting on the island's edge, was...Petey Piranha.
With the island still forming, Petey slept through the entire thing. Which proves how deep of a sleep Piranha Plants can be in. Unfortunately, with all the water around the island, Petey started slipping off, and finally fell off.
"HUURRGH?!" He shouted, and banged his head against the Harbor.
Angrily, Petey growled at the island, and shot a fireball at the island, which struck a purple, glowing, object.
In response, it retaliated, and struck Petey Piranha with purple electricity.
"GGROUCH!" He yelped, and got pushed back from the bouncy, purple lightning.
After getting thrown back, Petey (while smoking) landed on his stomach, right next to the cures.
"Gruh-Huh?" Hana and Hikaru yelped, as Petey's impact nearly scared them out of their wits.
With stars surrounding his head, Petey dizzily sat up.
"P-P-P-P-P—" Himari and Aoi stammered.
"PETEY PIRANHA?!" Everyone shouted at once.
Petey himself, yelped in surprise.
"So you're the one who stole our artifacts! Give them back, I say!" Emiru shouted.
Petey inhaled, then spat out two cages, then slammed them together.
"C'mon girls!" Hana, Hikaru and Ichika shouted. "It's Glitter Time!"
After their own transformation sequences, Petey roared louder than the raging maelstrom in the distance. Baring his gums, and bloody teeth, leftovers from Ushio and Nagisa's bodies.
"Ulp!" Glitter Macherie gaged, trying not to throw up.
"Stay strong, Macherie!" Glitter Yell shouted. "It's Showtime!"
BGM: Never Let Up! (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)
Petey let out a sharp grunt, before slamming a cage down at Glitter Cosmo and Parfait, who jumped just in the nick of time.
"Chocolat Aromase!" Glitter Chocolat shouted, whirling a chocolate-like drill at Petey.
Instead of shielding it with a cage, Petey Piranha, instead, opened his mouth. And caught the attack through his mouth.
"HUURGH!" Petey grunted, he licked his lips, and restored three hundred health.
Trying defeat him, using the power of sweets, the rest of the KiraKira Cures spread their attacks on him.
"Whip, Decoration!"
"Custard Illusion!"
"Gelato Shake!"
"Macaron Julienne!"
"Chocolat Aromase!"
"Three・2・Wonderful A La Mode!"
All their attacks started heading right towards Petey Piranha. Including the Wonderful A la Mode.
Now, if this were seven chapters ago, Petey would be rather frightened. But from two chapters ago, Petey gained the ability to use the Vacuum Block.
"GRROAH!" Petey gasped as he started inhaling all six attacks at once. The suction caused the cures' balance to become unstable.
Finally, with a huge cake down his throat, Petey had swallowed all six attacks. "GRAWHAHAHA!" He taunted with a toothy grin. Plus, gained nine-thousand, nine-hundred and ninety-nine health, and the power-up sound played. Gaining increased Power, and Defense.
"Wuh-Wha?" Glitter Whip stammered, after seeing Petey inhale the entire attack.
Petey then took out a ball of Piranha and Fire Piranha Plants, then tossed it aside.
Three Fire Piranha Plants sprouted, with a quick swipe of a non visible finger, all three, plus Petey spat fire at each Cure. Then Patooies spouted up, blowing a Spikeball in the air, when a Cure was selected, they puffed their balls onto the cures' heads, plus a giant Spikeball from Petey. Finally, Potted Piranha Plants came out, and with enough of mashing 'A'. Petey plus the plants bit hard at the KiraKira Cures with their long-stem attack. This Brawl Attack was named the Piranha Plant Patrol.
The tuckered out Cures flopped on the ground, to taunt, Petey roared triumphantly, gurgling something that sounded like. "IRULE!"
"Did-Did." Glitter Whip panted. "Did he learn new attacks?"
"Heart. For. You!" Glitter Yell shouted, and threw a giant heart from her Pom Poms.
Retaliating, Petey vacuumed the heart too. But inhaled again, and the pink heart turned orangish-reddish and started to have a magma glow to it.
"Wait!" Glitter Étoile shouted. "It's a fireball!"
Then, Petey spat the fireball back at Hana, but Saaya stepped in before she could get hit.
"Heart. Feather!" Glitter Ange shouted, in which, a giant heart-shaped shield reflected the fire-heart back at Petey.
In response, Petey Piranha put on red body armor, and a matching helmet. When it came back, he slammed the heart back with his head.
Ange angrily bounced the fireball back again, and Petey retaliated the same way.
Finally, after the fifth time of playing badminton with a molten heart, Petey kicked it up with a stub, and smashed it with his head, back at Glitter Ange with meteor force.
"Ah—!" Saaya cried, before she and Hana blasted away from the explosion.
"Heart! Star!" Glitter Etoile shouted, as a small star came flying at Petey, counterattacking once more, he slapped the Star with no effort, bouncing it back like it was a tennis ball.
"Hurr-Ha!" Petey laughed. Then took off his armor, and looked at Glitter Macherie, who already shot out her Macherie Poppin'.
Preparing a leaf like a bat, Petey struck the little pink heart, so hard, it slammed Glitter Macherie and Amour into the air, like a home run.
"Milky! Shock!" Glitter Milky screamed, sending a green electric volt to Petey.
Remembering he had cages, he threw one at the lighting beam, causing the whole cage to be filled with electricity, then it hit Lala in the head, sending electric volts through Glitter Star, Milky, Soleil and Selene.
After they were on the ground, the cage boomeranged back into Petey's hand. Finally, all airborne cures landed back on the ground.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow." Hana moaned.
"D-Does he play s-sports?" Aoi asked, rubbing her head.
Petey crossed his leaves, and grinned triumphantly. Petey was an ace at playing tennis, and baseball. With, or without a racket or bat. Once, Petey was the Worldwide Champion of a dangerous and violent soccer league. He was very skilled at playing soccer.
Injured and unable to move, Petey lifted both cages, ready to slam them on the cures. Bracing for impact, the cures waited, and waited. Until they were blown back by horrific winds.
Petey had stood his turf, but the winds were incredibly strong. Everyone took a moment to stare at the Floating Island.
BGM: Battle Time! DX (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
The maelstrom stopped, revealing the island's center. Which seemed to be a collision of forgotten memories and a corruption of time. A old, lonely house seemed to be on the top. To Ichika's surprise, on the roof, was the top of the KiraPati the decorations of fruits and a waffle cone still there, even the sign of it remained. Hana and Harry gasped when the sign of Beauty Harry was imprinted on the side of the House, as well as Noms and a sign on the roof, that said: "Welcome to the Lodge." Lala's beautiful pale skin and rosy cheeks drained to white, the top of Lala's Rocket was on top of the KiraPati. And a old glowing sign impaled on The Rocket's side. The sign read: Motel.
The bottom of house wasn't different. Other than colliding with Motel and part of the KiraPati's kitchen. Down where an old mineshaft used to be, were the rooms of Motel, and the dining area of the KiraPati had merged with it. A registration desk was fused on top of the dining area, old cars still remained where It had once been. The outdoor pool of Motel was in the back of the Floating House/Diner/Rocket/Motel Island, some furniture from the KiraPati and Lala's Rocket had been set up to look almost relaxing.
The storm below of The Floating Island came into view, it explained where the purple energy came from. Glowing purple cracks shined from the tip of the island, and a giant glowing, purple Cube was in the center tip of the cone shaped island. It's power seemed to be making the island float. It's name was simply CUBE.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the corrupted mess. And a giant purple CUBE possessing the island. Until everyone's senses were broke to Petey eating a giant bag of chips, and everyone turned to look at him with an annoyed expression.
Petey looked back, but continued to snack. (He had seen way more, Rift Zones, being inside the in-between, meeting witches in a whole different reality, going retro with a family of cats, and two astronauts and a giant quest to save Japari Park with a group of animals in his stomach. To him, this was normal.
Electricity continued to spark from the CUBE, it seemed to be calling for something. Suddenly, runes flashed by, and all three started circling the island, giving their power to the CUBE.
When everything was all said and done, the sky was clouded by purple clouds, over, no rain fell. It all seemed to be coming from the island, which the CUBE started giving off a particle effect, similar to a Rift Beacon being activated. It was creating a portal, which surround the clouds with darkened clouds. Similar to the fight with Dark Petey Piranha the Cerulean Queen summoned.
"Don't tell me that giant Cube over there is the Rift Zone and the villain." Glitter Macherie mumbled.
Suddenly, everyone realized something, they turned to Petey Piranha, and he turned to them. The cures figured out that Petey wasn't the villain here, it was The CUBE, and Petey noticed they weren't the ones in his way today, for the same reason.
All the cures embarrassedly looked down , blushing ferociously. "Um, sorry we thought...Y-You were the one who stole our stuff." Glitter Yell said apolitically.
Petey nodded, when suddenly, something dawned on them. Petey looked at Glitter Yell with the same question in mind.
"D-Do you want to be our, ally until we can get this whole deal situated?" She asked.
Petey grunted affectionately, and shook her small hand with his leaf. Then everyone stared at the CUBE again.
"It's a little weird teaming up with a villain, especially with a Super one." Glitter Ange admitted. "The more, the merrier."
Suddenly, Petey got an idea of what Saaya just said. Then he roared a call, as if to call for someone.
"Was that a call for more allies? Or henchmen of yours, Petey?" Glitter Chocolat asked.
And suddenly, running was audible. It surprised the cures who showed up.
It was no longer Glitter Force Turf, it was Minion Turf!
BGM: This is Minion Turf! (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions)
"At your service, General Petey!" It was a voice of a Goomba, Captain Goomba.
"C'mon!" Now, it was Captain Shy Guy. "It was the General!"
"Keeheeheehee!" Captain Boo appeared, scaring Emiru. "Gotcha, didn't I?"
"It won't work Captain Boo! Not until we get this, THROUGH!" Captain Koopa Troopa exclaimed. Though, no one was impressed by his rhyme. "Never-mind." He said.
"General! Some of Bowser's loyal army stands ready—oh, I see you have some, erm, new, henchmen? Or women?" Captain Goomba asked.
"We are NOT his henchmen!" Glitter Étoile shouted. "We are his ally until we defeat that CUBE over there!"
Petey gurgled an inaudible response, telling Captain Goomba about their temporary alliance.
"Alright! Minions! Let's show that polygon our Minion Spirit!" Captain Goomba shouted.
"Focus! For Lord Bowser!" Captain Shy Guy commanded the minions.
All that they were able to scrap up, was: a Boom Guy, a Big Tail Goomba, a Hammer Bro and a Sledge Bro, three Bomb-Oms, a Broozer carrying a Thwomp, and the big guns, a Chain Chomp, and Petey's own two henchmen, Piranha Plant and Piranha Bean.
"This is all the wondering minions we could find! Is that good enough?" Captain Goomba explained.
Petey gave a nod, implying his approval. Now their mission was to weaken the CUBE's force field, collect Rune fragments, and destroy the CUBE.
"All right!" Glitter Yell shouted. "On three! One! Two! Go Team!"
And everyone sprinted for the first Corrupted Area: Beauty Harry.
BGM Ends.
Everyone slowly approached the Corrupted Area, it's atmosphere wasn't pleasant.
"There it is!" Exclaimed Hana. "all we need to do is—."
Suddenly, as if the CUBE could sense their appearance, a portal struck the Corrupted Area, causing lightning strikes to repeatedly appear in the corners, the Rune fragment was now trapped inside a large CUBE Fragment. Four others were spread on the corners.
"What in the?" Glitter Selene gasped. "What are those?!"
The CUBE Fragments glowed, and on the tip, it struck the ground. Summoning zombie-like creatures, only purple, and supported an angry look.
Slowly, a fragment would summon about five 'zombies' and some small fragment, then explode.
Six types of creatures existed. All looked very similar to:
"Nottorei?" Hikaru asked puzzled. "What are Nottorei Fiends doing out here?"
"Those aren't Nottorei Fiends, ~lun!" Lala whispered. "I think those are...their in horror movies, what are they called?"
There were six types. (So you can understand them better)
A Cube Fiend, a small and most recurring creature.
Cube Brute, fat, large and bulky creatures. Who spawned not as common as the Fiend, but packed a punch.
Ranged Cube Fiend, a pesky little Fiend, who tossed burning CUBE balls at anyone in sight, it's balls can also support it's own kind.
Elite Cube Fiend and Elite Cube Brute, these stronger versions of the Fiend and Brute, glowing purple and angrier expressions. Packed some serious punch.
And the boss: Cube Mega Brute, a gold brute, packing extreme punch, with a high defense. It rarely spawns, this boss only appears once, per, Corrupted Area. And is the guardian of the Rune fragment.
"ZOMBIES!?" Hikaru exclaimed with extremely sparkly eyes. "R-Real zombies?! Super Twincool!"
The Cube Monsters growled, and then howled as they started slogging towards the Allies.
"Oh no!" Glitter Yell cried. "Hikaru attracted them!"
"Alright, Petey, Minions! Let's see how powerful ya are!" Aoi challenged. And everyone stood in the heat of the battle.
BGM: The Marvelous Duo DX (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions)
A Cube Fiend was the first to charge at Hikaru.
"Not on my watch!" Captain Goomba shouted, and performed the Rocket Headbutt on the Fiend, causing it turn into dust with a cry.
"Ah! Not my hair!" Glitter Macherie screamed. A Cube Brute had grabbed her hair, and started swinging her aimlessly,
"Get our of her way!" Glitter Amour shouted, hitting the Brute in the head.
It backed up slightly, then charged at Ruru, rapidly throwing punches, but her dodges were too fast for it. They she kicked it in the back, causing it to disappear into dust.
"G-Get away from me you foul fiends!" Glitter Milky shouted. "Milky! Shock!"
Her attack shocked a horde of Monsters surrounding her, killing off all fiends that were on her.
"Aaugh!" Glitter Selene cried. Her along with Glitter Ange had been surrounded by Cube Fiends, Brutes and Elite Fiends.
"Help!" Glitter Ange cried.
"Ruff! Ruff!" The Chain Chomp barked, and started clanging his mouth, then performed the chargin' champ move, biting and ramming into every Monster surrounding them.
"Is that's way of playing?" Glitter Amour asked, looking at the Chain Chomp swinging a lifeless fiend in his mouth aimlessly.
"Eek!" Glitter Custard shrieked when a fiend approached her. "Yaaah!" She cried when a horde was approaching her.
The Broozer threw the Thwomp into the air, causing it to awaken, and slam into the ground. Killing off a bunch of fiends. Then the Broozer lost its mind, causing it to throw several punches, not knowing or caring where it was going, but it did manage to steal the highest Fiend Eliminations.
Staying behind a scared Glitter Yell, the Boom Guy tried fending off a few fiends by shooting some Bullet Bills at them, one explosion would kill three fiends. But he was running out of ammo fast.
"P-Please don't give up!" Glitter Yell urged on.
A small glint appeared in the Shy Guy's eye, and it loaded his head-cannon with a giant bullet. Then shot out a massive Banzai Bill, gathering Monsters in it's path, then exploded into a tree, killing all the Monsters it picked up.
Glitter Soleil and Captain Shy Guy we're behind a rock, as their fort, while Ranged Cube Fiends stayed behind a tree.
Glitter Soleil would burn a turnip with her hands, then Captain Shy Guy would chuck it at the Fiends. But they threw burning embers back. They were making no progress, one would get injured, but instantly healed by it's teammate.
"It's no use, wait!" Glitter Soleil took out her Princess Star Color Pen.
"Soleil! Shoot!" She hollered, kicking a burning Giant Turnip Captain Shy Guy was holding.
And just like dominos, they all fell down.
"Yes! We got em'!" They both exclaimed and hi-fived.
"Hmm, I've got an idea!" Glitter Macaron schemed.
"Macaron! Julienne!" She had attached her rope to the Chain Chomp, and swung it like a Wrecking Ball. Destroying all Monsters in sight.
"Nice idea, Macaron!" Glitter Chocolat agreed.
"Meow!" Glitter Macaron teased, with a wink.
When the Mega Cube Brute realized it was out of minions, he roared and pointed at the allies. Causing the fragments to finally break.
The KiraKira Cures gasped at the sight. It was almost like looking at a Dark Reflection. Twisted, glowing, purple cures of the KiraKira girls stood before them, grinning devilishly.
Cure Whip, now had dark purple hair, and the strawberry in her cake hair decoration and bow tie, now was a Shadow Stone. Her outfit was now from a whitish-pink, to a light purple, and all pink colors on her outfit were dark purple, with the same glowing glyphs from the CUBE. Her eyes glowed magenta, and glowing cracks formed around her eyelashes. This was known as Dark Whip, along with her CUBEified friends, Dark Custard, Dark Gelato, Dark Macaron, Dark Chocolat and Dark Parfait.
"Wait, Rabbit-Hero-Lady!" Captain Shy Guy shouted. "That Dark reincarnation is full of Shadow Remnant of you! It has your attacks, and moves!"
"We'll see about that!" Glitter Gelato shouted. "Gelato! Shake!"
"Darkness! Shake!" Her corrupted double shouted, breaking all the ice chunks Glitter Gelato sent.
"Well, I see you got that right." Glitter Whip agreed.
Dark Custard leaped over top of her real counterpart, landing right in front of her. All Glitter Custard saw, was death and darkness in her eyes.
"W-Why do my, I mean your, eyes look like that?" Glitter Custard screamed.
"Wow, you're full of color! I'm only limited to purple colors, the greatest color of all!" Dark Custard smiled.
"But, doesn't having colors to choose from, more fun?" Glitter Whip asked her dark double.
"Nope! But, now, I'm receiving a transmission to destroy you!" Dark Whip shouted.
"Ichika! Watch out!" Glitter Yell shouted.
Both Whips punched each other's fists, creating a shockwave, and being pushed back a little.
"Wow! I guess they were right about you having my abilities!" Glitter Whip exclaimed.
"Stand, still!" Dark Chocolat bellowed, nearly hitting Glitter Chocolat.
Elsewhere, Petey Piranha, the Piranha Plant duo, and Lala were trying to fight the Mega Cube Brute, to see if killing the boss would destroy the dark counterparts.
Piranha Plant changed into a Prickly Piranha Plant, and whacked the Mega Cube Brute in the stomach, Piranha Bean enforced the attack by biting it's head.
"Way to go ~lun!" Glitter Milky cheered.
The Mega Brute stood it's ground, and roared furiously at the allies. Giving all the Dark Cures FURY status.
"Darkness Julienne!" Dark Macaron shouted, getting a direct hit on Glitter Macaron.
"I think this status gives them better and faster aim on us. We'll hold em' off! Just kill that gold zombie!" Glitter Whip instructed.
To get precise aim on the Mega Brute, the Broozer tossed another Thwomp into the air, then started charging a fist. When the Thwomp hit the Brute in the head, the Broozer smacked it into the air.
"Now! Shoot!" Captain Shy Guy instructed the Boom Guy to Fire a Banzai Bill that he had stored in his Bill Blaster.
"Take it!" Captain Koopa Troopa shouted, causing the Chain Chomp to go haywire, and ram straight into the Mega Brute, hitting it backwards, and straight into the flying Banzai Bill. With a great explosion, the Cube Mega Brute started to glow, and burst into dozens of colorful stars, within it's death, a small Rune remnant fell.
Glitter Whip was currently in a tussle with Dark Whip, who kept trying to repeatedly hit her in the face. When the Brute died, she stopped herself.
"Grraaah!" She cried, then all six dark cures started exploding themselves, more and more cracks would appear, when an inverted explosion of stars hit. Eventually inverted energy dwelled inside them, and they exploded, with CUBE Fragments shattered from their bodies.
Everyone stared at Bowser's Minions, who had wholeheartedly killed everyone in the battlefield.
"T-They know teamwork better than us." Glitter Yell giggled nervously.
Glitter Macaron closely inspected the shattered CUBE Shards from her Dark Double. "I see they were just fragments, not us entirely." She said to herself.
"All right!" Glitter Star exclaimed with an extremely wide smile. "One down! Two more to go!"
"The CUBE is already supplying the next Corrupted Area! C'mon, let's go!" Captain Goomba instructed.
Portals appeared over Beauty Harry, creating large CUBE Fragments to appear around the Corrupted Area, summoning more CUBE Monsters, including another Boss.
"Oh no! The gold one already took the Rune Fragment!" Glitter Ange gasped.
"The only way through, is to fight." Glitter Selene noted.
"GGRROOAH!" Petey Piranha roared, as if to rally everyone. And apparently, it worked.
BGM: The Final Antasma Battle (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)
Spotted already, the CUBE Monsters howled and starting running their way.
"Hey Petey." Glitter Macherie asked a little unsure of herself. "Do you have any Bros. Attacks we could burrow, or, teach us?"
Petey looked at the Minion Captains, then at the Glitter Force, then at the Koopa Troop. Then back again. And with the very limited intelligence he had, he came up with an idea.
"Hurr-Haha, BLEHEHEHE, GURRENGH, HURR-HA!" Petey gurgled, although no one but the minions could understand.
"W-What did he say ~lun?" Glitter Milky asked.
"He says some of us have the capability to perform some Bros. Attacks, meanwhile, he can use his own Brawl Attacks." Captain Boo translated.
"But, how do we know what to do?" Glitter Gelato shouted back.
"I dunno! If you ever seen a Bros. Attack, maybe you could reuse those." Captain Shy Guy remarked.
"Wait!" Glitter Yell exclaimed, Gelato! Custard! You both make up strength and metabolism! Maybe you can use that Metal Dog-Ball to your advantage!"
"I see where you're getting at! C'mon Custard!" Glitter Gelato exclaimed, grabbed the Chain Chomp and dragged it far away.
"Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Glitter Custard whimpered.
"Of course! Now get on!" Glitter Gelato grinned.
"W-What?!" The latter shrieked.
"Trust me!" She urged.
"Bark! Bark!" The stationary Chain Chomp barked.
As Glitter Custard nervously mounted the Chain Chomp, it began to hop around. "Hang on!" Glitter Gelato shouted, then she picked up the chain, and began to swing it in circles. Constantly getting faster and faster, until she chucked it back to the Corrupted Area.
"EEEEYYAAAHHH!" Glitter Custard screamed, as she started to descend back to main ground. She tilted the Chomp's head to the right, hitting a group of CUBE Monsters, defeating them all with the shockwave from the Chain Chomp's impact.
"That was scary!" Glitter Custard whined when she unmounted the Chain Chomp. It barked in agreement.
"And that's called: Cannonball Chuck!" Glitter Gelato beamed. "Thanks Custard!"
"Glad I could help..." She moaned.
All the cures observed the Bros. Attack with awe. The enemies looked with annoyance. "See, that was a great Bros. Attack!" Captain Goomba announced.
Glitter Yell looked at Piranha Plant, who had turned into a Putrid Piranha Plant, and sprayed a poisonous gas at a couple of CUBE Fiends.
"Ange! I have an idea! Let's use Piranha Plant, and perform a Bros. Attack!" Glitter Yell exclaimed.
"Erm, I suppose..." She mumbled. Piranha Plant looked equally uncomfortable with the idea.
"Follow me!" Glitter Yell encouraged.
Following the cheerleader, Glitter Yell grabbed Piranha Plant's pot, he stared with an uneasy expression.
"Aannd, FLY!" Glitter Yell yelled as she tossed Piranha Plant into the air, causing him to start using his Piranhacopter move. Running to catch him, Glitter Yell grabbed his pot. "Ange! Grab onto my feet!"
Sprinting to catch up, Glitter Ange finally grabbed onto her friend's feet, just as Piranha Plant descended into the air. Hovering above the CUBE Monsters, Glitter Yell focused her target on a Elite Cube Brute, and with fast spinning, she and Glitter Ange drilled into the Elite Cube Brute, and the shockwave killed the CUBE Monster horde.
"Uuuugh, ahem! That was called..." Glitter Ange stammered.
"Dropchopper!" Glitter Yell finished.
"Wonderfully demonstrated, I say!" Glitter Macherie exclaimed. "Piranha Bean! Do you want to do a Duo Attack with me?"
Piranha Bean fell asleep, then woke and gurgled in agreement.
Glitter Macherie then took out a huge pink Beach Ball with stars, and started puffing air into it. After about thirty seconds of puffing, she was already exhausted. But somehow, it inflated on its own. Causing her to trip and bounce on it, hugging it close, she slowly fell back to the ground. Piranha Bean retaliated and bounced it upwards with his head. She slowly fell down, and hit all enemies at once, then bounced back and Piranha Bean pushed her back up with his head.
She came down, and bounced back up, then hit the ball with her bottom, and it popped, killing all the Fiends at once.
"Super Bouncer!" She beamed proudly. "It was super effective, I say!"
Lala stood alone, thinking of what she could do to help out her friends, and destroy the CUBE Monsters.
Suddenly, A.I, or much smaller version of Lala's Rocket fell beside her, making scream a little.
"Miss Lala, this small prototype rocket may be a good attack to use." It transmitted.
Lala touched it, causing it to shake.
"Lala!" Glitter Star cried, and jumped on the other side of The Rocket, trying to crawl to her alien friend.
3, 2, 1, WOOSH!
The Rocket took off, with Glitter Milky and Star on it's sides.
"Wwaaahh!" Glitter Star cried as they both fell down, Star was first, and Glitter Milky fell second, side of The Rocket in her hands. Hikaru landed hard on her heels on one of the Elite Cube Fiends, and Milky fell second, doing the same procedure, only, The Rocket malfunctioned and blasted off again, it would explode any minute.
Taking advantage of the situation, Glitter Milky aimed The Rocket's point to the center of the horde, exploding all killing off every last one.
"That was very useful, ~lun!" Glitter Milky smiled.
"Let's call it Rocket Blast!" Glitter Star exclaimed with sparkling eyes.
When the Cube Mega Brute realized that it's subordinates were all defeated. It roared loudly for backup. This time the CUBE Fragments spawned Dark versions of the HUGtto Pretty Cure.
Everyone now had a dark purple, purple, light purple and black color palette, with the same glowing cracked eyes and Shadow Stone accessories.
"Mechokku! You look just like me!" Dark Yell said with shock.
"You're not us! You're just using our faces, I say!" Emiru shouted.
"Yell! If we attack them using our own attacks, they will copy them! If we come up with new Bros. Attacks, we may be able to counter them!" Glitter Étoile exclaimed.
"Oh! You're right! And I have the perfect idea for a new attack!" Glitter Yell smiled.
Glitter Ange brought over Bomb-Oms, and tossed them into Glitter Étoile's hands.
"W-What the heck? Are you trying to kill me?" She cried.
"Étoile! Just throw them in my direction!" Glitter Yell informed.
"If you say so...here goes!" And she started tossing the bombed in Glitter Yell's direction, but she deflected the bombs with her Melody Sword, each deflection would hit a random Dark Cure, and finally, Glitter Étoile threw a giant Bomb-Om, which exploded all the dark cures at once, infecting them with a different status effect.
"Nice! I'll call it...Bomb Derby!" Glitter Étoile exclaimed.
Wait, they're all distracted!" Glitter Ange shouted.
Dark Yell was hit with DIZZY
Dark Ange fell over with TRIP
Dark Étoile was running around with CHAR
Dark Macherie's dress had CRUMPLED
And Dark Amour's hardware was infected with DIZZY
"There! Now is your perfect chance to strike!" Captain Shy Guy shouted. "Here, take this! It's called Jet Board Bash!"
Walking a mile away, Glitter Soleil and Chocolat jumped about a mile away. Glitter Chocolat took our her Candy Rod, and Soleil started pushing the board with her hands. Causing the board's engine to start flaring up, until it reached 100mph, and turned into blue flames.
With just the right time, Glitter Chocolat hit all five cures at the same time, dealing over five hundred damage, pull all had DIZZY status.
With all five vulnerable, the Glitter Force had to come up with a plan. When suddenly, something dawned on Glitter Yell.
"Here, Milky! Take this sledgehammer! You'll see what to do with it later!" Glitter Yell explained. "Hey Goomba! Do you happen to have something to make her a little big?"
"All I have is this Mega Mushroom." He replied. "Anything else?"
"That might do, as long as it doesn't go over board." Glitter Yell replied. "Alright, Lala! Eat up! I'm sure it's yummy anyhow!"
"I-I-I've never eaten a Mushroom before ~lun! Will it hurt?" Glitter Milky whimpered.
"Oh, I'm sure it's fine, I just need you to grow to stomp those stupid zombies over there!" Glitter Star urged her friend.
"Fine, if anything bad happens, I'm not going to be happy!" Then Glitter Milky ate the Mega Mushroom. And suddenly, massive rainbow stars circled her, as a deep power-up sound played. When the transformation ended, her eyes glowed Golden, and she was about fifty feet tall, even her breasts grew to a DD size.
"WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME?!" Glitter Milky screamed in a booming voice, which she covered her mouth instantly.
"Milky! Take out your sledgehammer! And go stomp those guys!" Glitter Yell shouted to her friend.
Petey Piranha flew, and landed on her head. Then lowered a Star shaped vitamin to her.
"Will this give me extra power ~lun?" Glitter Milky asked. "Or will make me grow even more?"
When she swallowed the small vitamin, causing a dark red fire aura to engulf her. The status was named KO or Super Strike.
"W-Wha? I feel, stronger, and, and...HHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" She screamed, as the fire absorbed her, making her strength go way beyond capacity, and her checks flush in anger. Then she started stomping, holding the sledgehammer by her side, each stomp, would make her go faster, and faster until she prepared her shoulder and.
THWACK!
This caused the dark cures, Petey Piranha, and the Mega Brute to be thrown far away, but each time the enemies skid, Petey would land on their heads, again and again, until he landed so hard, his feet skid against their face. Causing the whole attack to do an insane amount of damage, that no boss could even survive.
Immediately glowing, everyone burst into inverted purple stars, until only their bodies remained.
Lala shrunk back to her normal size, and breast size, she cheered to being normal again.
Petey used his vacuum ability to inhale the bodies, and start his fire breath. Causing his fire to turn purple. Finally, after reaching max capacity, he shot a massive, purple, meteor at the forcefield of the old CUBE Island, causing it to smash right into the forcefield like glass, which lowered and shattered into the raging maelstrom below.
With glowing glyphs, and pulsing sounds, The Floating Island stood at the edge of the harbor. Everyone had already arrived at the Hagukumi City docks.
Now, with the forcefield lowered. Everyone stood heroically.
The Final Battle awaits.
BGM Ends.
Wind continued to blow everyone's hair, petals, and flags, however, the island just remained stationary.
"We'll stay down here, General Petey Piranha. And defend the city from the smaller CUBE Fragments." Captain Goomba announced.
Petey shook his head in approval, then stared back at the island.
"So, heh heh." Glitter Gelato giggled. "Who wanted to explore the house first?"
Everyone stared at her, then back to the water. Glitter Cosmo was the first to jump in and start swimming to Leaky Lake, one by one, the cures followed. Petey decided to leave his henchmen below, and fly to the island.
The tornado surrounding the island, allowed the cures to be blown upwards. Reaching high elevations, they finally landed in the front steps of the House/Motel/Rocket/Diner fused island.
BGM: The Castle Depths DX (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
The view up close was even more chaotic when they imagined. Working from their way up the tower they started from the mineshaft. Which lead to a dead end, except a door in the middle of the shaft, with a glowing sign that flickered OPEN.
Nervous, Glitter Whip opened the door. Broken lights from the KiraPati still flickered, the front counter and decorations still hung, but damaged severely. The pathway to the kitchen was broke off by the wall, which explained why the kitchen was upstairs. All the tables and chairs in the dining room remained as well.
Outside, Glitter Star opened a metal door, where room number one-o-three was displayed, along with four others that were nearby. Inside was two beds, a desk and lamp, a couch with a television and a small bathroom, no one had inhabited this room for what seemed years. The lonely feeling of forgotten memories of families once sleeping in this Motel room made Hikaru feel depressed and uncomfortable, she saw a map on the wall, of an old, forgotten island that was lost to the Blackhole.
With nothing but discombobulated, the cures went back outside. Thunder roared in the background. Approaching the steps to the house, was the pool of Motel, no water had been filled in it for what seemed ages, but it looked shiny clean. Lala looked unimpressed by some of her furniture being used as an outdoor patio. Noticeably, her Rocket's chairs, and extra tables.
Approaching the House depths, the sign of Beauty Harry was imprinted above the door. Inside was a normal living room, however, the missing mannequins with fine clothing and jewelry were neatly laid around, and doors to the KiraPati kitchen was in place of the old house's kitchen. Inside was untouched, and a pile of unused cookie supplies laid on the counter.
Upstairs was a hallway to a bathroom, and a bedroom, both perfectly fine and untouched from the fusion of four locations. Onto the third floor, where more tables and chairs were set up, the window showed a stunning view of the outer layer of the island, and a spectacular view of Hagukumi City. Above was a glowing sign that read KiraKira Patisserie and NOMS.
Taking a secret path to the final floor, where the top of Lala's Rocket was. Which looked identical to her control module, only a small Shadow Stone laid in the center, everything else was dead and not turned on. Except the glowing smaller cube.
Reaching to pick it up, Lala touched it her palm.
BGM: Battle Time! (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
A violent shake occurred, causing the Cures to be thrown off balance, however, Lala still attached to the Stone. Which caused the movement to become even more violent, until the same purple electricity shocked the cures and Petey again, sending them flying back towards the harbor,
Realizing what she touched, Lala stood on her feet.
"I think that was it's brain. It's almost like a Frankenstein ~lun!" Lala gasped.
The CUBE started shaking violently, and finally exploded. Sending the cures flying through a building.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Glitter Yell mumbled, when the ringing of her ears stopped. She looked outside. The house has been split into three smaller islands, and The CUBE was now fully exposed, rotating, as if to find the cures, and Petey.
Finally, it spotted Petey, who had grouped up with the other cures. Hana ran over to join them.
"Stand down, polygon! I don't want to have to beat you with some shapes and puzzles, I say!" Glitter Macherie shouted.
The CUBE was clearly not impressed, and it shocked her with purple electricity.
"You've corrupted our hometowns long enough! I never thought I'd be fighting a cube, but this it's how it's going to go down! I guess." Glitter Yell shouted at the corrupted six sided mystery.
"GGRRRRAAAWWWWWHHH!" Petey roared at it.
The CUBE set off an ear ringing pulse, as if to roar back.
It's now the Final Battle.
BGM: Destroy the CUBE'S Power! - Destroy the Dark Power! (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey)
When the battle started, the CUBE glowed and pulsed brightly, then dropped two liquid energy capsules, which created two Lil' Kevins.
Then the CUBE created four electric balls, one that was hot pink, and the three that were teal. Likely implying Lala and Hikaru. Then it commanded them upwards, and the CUBE flew up, hitting them down towards Glitter Star and Milky.
"STAR! PUNCH!" Glitter Star screamed, breaking the ball of energy.
"Milky! SHOCK!" Glitter Milky bellowed, balancing the balls with her own electricity.
The Lil' Kevin's jumped to Petey, one charged it's eyes, and shot lasers at Petey, which he deflected with the left cage, and the other shot a Dark spell with it's body. And he blocked it with the right.
"How do we even hurt this cube? It's body is so bouncy, it just bounces me back!" Glitter Étoile shouted angrily.
"Try hitting it's smaller cube buddies!" Glitter Gelato replied.
Glitter Soleil created a large fireball, and aimed it at one of the Kev's. "Soleil! SHOOT!" She screamed, and kicked it at the small cube, causing it's red eyes to fade, and turn it into a tiny cube.
The CUBE turned around, and commanded it into the air with electric pulses. One was the cube, and the other was a electric ball.
Careful on which to hit, Glitter Star punched the cube at it's bigger boss, causing the first forcefield to break.
"Selene! Arrow!" Glitter Selene shouted, piercing another small Kev. Causing it to die.
The CUBE turned around again, and commanded it into the air with electric pulses. One was the cube, and the other was a electric ball.
Selene grabbed the small cube, and aimed it at the bigger one, then shot the small cube at Kevin, causing it's final forcefield to shatter, then the CUBE stopped glowing and fell to the ground.
"Get as much attacks in, girls. And Petey!" Glitter Yell commanded.
"Right!" Everyone but Petey called out.
First up to attack, was the KiraKira Cures, who performed their own Group Attack.
"Candy Rod!
"Kirakirakiraru Full Charge!"
"Three・2・Wonderful A La Mode!" Then blasted a large cake at The CUBE. Dealing five hundred damage to it.
Next was the HUGtto Pretty Cure, whom they took out their Melody Swords.
"Mirai Crystal!"
"Yell Tact!"
"Ange Harp!"
"Étoile Flute!"
"Be free, thorns of the heart!"
"Pretty Cure・Trinity・Concert!"
"HUGtto! Pretty Cure! Yell・For・You!"
Attempting to purify the CUBE, a large tree sprouted, however, it only dealt seven hundred damage.
"Light up the sky! The power of imagination!"
Twinkle Stick!"
"Star Twinkle!"
"Milky Twinkle!"
"Soleil Twinkle!"
"Selene Twinkle!"
"Make the four lights become one now!"
"Pretty Cure! Southern Cross Shot!"
Once more, it did not purify the CUBE, only deal eight hundred damage.
The CUBE pulsed, and hovered back into the air, then electrocuted itself, infected with FURY status.
"B-But how!?" Glitter Yell shouted, both confused and angry.
"That-That should've killed it!" Glitter Star said with colorless eyes.
The CUBE summoned more Lil' Kevs, who restored thirty percent of its health and increased its power.
"Okay! One last try!" Glitter Whip called out to her friends.
"Custard! Illusion!" Glitter Custard shouted, and shot custard balls at both Kevs. Turning them both into small stones.
Commanding both, The CUBE sent both spiraling at the cures, but Glitter Ange and Milky stepped in the way.
"HEART! FEATHER!" Glitter Ange shouted, creating a heart shaped shield.
"MILKY! SHOCK!" Glitter Milky screamed, making a electric heart barrier.
Both hearts deflected the Cube Power, breaking The CUBE's forcefield, turning it into a Stone again.
"Petey! This one's yours, Meow!" Glitter Cosmo commanded.
Petey shook his head, and prepared for his final move: The Piranha Finale.
"HURRGH!" Petey bellowed, then tossed the unresponsive CUBE into the air, and started biting it like crazy, faster and faster. Until, I'm slow motion, he whacked it extremely hard with one of his cages. Causing it to leave the atmosphere.
The CUBE orbited earth at a extremely high speed, closing in on where it last stood. And finally landing in the water.
It floated and started cracking, glowing and spinning. Creating a fail safe, sending everyone into the in-between. And trapping them there forever. By doing this, it started creating reverse winds, sucking them in.
"K-Keep running!" Glitter Star screamed through the intense winds the CUBE was creating. Finally, it stopped. Cracking, exploding, it's remaining island fragments falling into the ocean, and it's extra accessories returning to their proper worlds.
The CUBE shed it's last breath, and exploded, sending the minions who accidentally got sucked in, back to their proper world, however. Petey was blown to a nearby building.
BGM Ends.
Tired and out of breath from running, cheeks flushed and gasping for air, the cures saw the rest of what happened. The maelstrom at Leaky Lake closed off, filling the whirlpool with it's proper water.
The purple clouds cleared, and reverted back to a regular sunny day.
"W-What a nightmare!" Glitter Yell sighed, laying her head against the cement. "I'm glad that is over with!"
"What even was that Cube? How can a cube be evil?" Hikaru gasped. Now laying down in the grass.
Petey crawled out of the building. Not caring, but happy that his own problem was dealt with, he emerged out to the now, resting, untransformed cures.
"H-Hey, Petey." Aoi waved. "With the storm gone, today sure is a lovely day, isn't it?"
Petey, who had only agreed to an alliance until it was over, immediately took out his cages, and prepared to swing them.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!" Hana screamed. "It was a hellish day already! Can't we just compromise?"
Petey lowered his cages to see what she had to say.
"Fuwa can send you to another city, similar to here, but far away." Hikaru motioned for Fuwa top open a wormhole from her horn.
"FUUUU-WAA!" She called, opening one.
Looking at the cures, he genuinely accepted the compromise, and entered the wormhole.
"Bye Petey! Until we meet again, hopefully never..." Hana called out.
Petey Piranha had hoped to end up on Plack Beach, or Sparkling Waters, but instead, was over the water.
"HURRENGHEN!" Petey yelped, before splashing into the water entirely.
TO BE CONTINUED...
I genuinely enjoyed this chapter, not only for the love of darkness, but the theme as well. If had not already noticed, some of Petey's roars, sound effects, or noises come from: Bowser's voice clips from Bowser's Inside Story, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and his own. Since Petey's voice wouldn't work very well, I figured he'd use his monstrous roars from Brawl, and take some grunts and growls from Bowser, as well as his own voice.
Another thing, is that Petey's ability to breathe fire and ice comes from Super Smash Bros too, unused data was found for Wii U and 3DS where he had an ice attack. And as a part of Piranha Plant's (who the same Piranha Plant is one of Petey's henchmen) Final Smash, Petey is shown to breathe fire. And his vacuum ability is from Bowser, although, he did have a similar feature in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, where Paper Petey Piranha used a similar ability.
And finally, the CUBE is from Fortnite. Yes, I promise not to make anymore mentions to that after this chapter. And it's boss fight is based off the Dark Star battle, I broke out my 3DS to fight the X version while writing this. Which are most of my Mario and Luigi battles come from. A user named Bloodyguy told me that the previous chapter was dark and messed up, so I toned it down to where Petey formed an alliance with my favorite anime. And I already spoiled that a another Aikatsu chapter is next. (Warning to few, it does contain minor sexual content. Because I flipped a coin, and violence disturbing is my norm in this book, so I thought I'd mixed it up a little.) and a appearance from one of Petey's old friends.
And with five chapters left, we're almost done here! Thank you for all your support so far!
