*** 02 ***
Last time on the 'Birth of Cure Pink, Aiko Momoiro was a girl who adored all the Pretty Cures
for their dangerous mission they all have. Due to her strange powers, whenever she saw a girl,
she knew that girl's Pretty Cure form and all her abilities. She always supported these Precures
by being their greatest fan. On this day, she met Miyuki who is Cure Happy. Aiko explained about
her vision of this strange warrior she named 'Cure Pink' and her ability to know all the Pretty Cures
and their secret identities and all their abilities. However by the end of the day, Aiko's special sketch
book suddenly opened up due to the wind and her book glowed and Aiko was transported to the
Cave of Trials. And so our story continues.
Aiko appeared in front of the Cave of Trials. The cave was shut by two titanium doors which could
not be opened by human power or strength. She never saw anything like it. To the left of the titanium
doors was a plaque which stood on top of a pedestal which read:
'THIS IS THE CAVE OF TRIALS. WHERE YOUR COURAGE WILL BE TESTED. IN THE CAVE, YOU WILL
BE TESTED IN FIVE WAYS: STRENGTH, COURAGE, LOVE, HONOR, AND FEARLESSNESS. ONLY FEMALES
OF WORTH MAY ENTER HERE. STAND AT THE DOORS AND ANSWER WHY YOU WANT THE 'GREAT PRECURE
POWER' AND THE PATH WILL BE REVEALED BEFORE YOU. GOOD LUCK WARRIOR!'
Aiko finished reading the plaque and she stood in front of the large titanium doors and she heard a pretty female's
voice speak to her.
"It's you, the Chosen Warrior, please state your business for coming here and what is the reason to try and obtain
the 'Great Power' for yourself?"
The pretty female spoke to Aiko and Aiko thought long and hard before answering.
"For a long time, I had this strange ability to know who all the Pretty Cures secret identities are and I had the ability know
what all their items, attacks, and special abilities are. However, I have been given the ability to draw a mysterious warrior
known as Cure Pink and I feel the Great Power has been calling me. My wish is that if I can obtain this Great Power,
I can be a mother to all the Pretty Cures and protect them and also give them encouragement in their greatest time of need.
I have no family left and if I go through this, I am not losing anything but gaining a lot more. This is something I wish to
do more than anything else. This is the answer to my mission I wish to embark upon."
Aiko finished speaking to the titanium doors and the pretty female's voice was heard again.
"You have spoken well child, please enter the cavern. Remember this is a test for the Great Power and I pray
that you will be successful. I await you at the Shrine of Portals. Good luck young warrior!"
The pretty female voice answered Aiko and the large doors suddenly opened and vanished. Aiko took a large
gulp as she slowly walked into the cave. Once inside the cave, the first trial began. On the ground was Cure
Scarlet. She was pinned down by some large boulders. Her legs were pinned down to the point where she couldn't
move her legs. She was partially conscious. Scarlet called out to Aiko.
"Please help me!"
Cure Scarlet asked Aiko to help her.
"Sure I will help you. I will be more than happy to help you. Please try to stay awake while I attempt to remove these
large boulders from your legs."
Aiko answered Scarlet and Scarlet spoke once more.
"What is your name?"
Scarlet asked Aiko in a very curious tone.
"My name is Aiko Momoiro."
Aiko answered Cure Scarlet in a positive tone. Aiko used all her strength to remove the first boulder from Scarlet's legs
as Scarlet asked Aiko a question.
"Why have you come to this dark and dank cave?"
Scarlet asked Aiko why she had come to this cave. Aiko stopped for a moment and answered her.
"I am after the Great Power. It has called me here. I love and adore all the Precures equally. I know
who they all are. I know what all their abilities, items, and powers are. I wish to be like a mother to
them all and protect them all when they need it and give advice when needed. I feel that this great
task is my calling. I know you who you are! You are Akagi Towa who is the Princess of the Hope
Kingdom. Your brother is Kanata. Your other friends are Haruka, Minami, and Kirara."
Aiko explained why she was going through this test. Aiko continued to remove the rest of the boulders
with her strength and within several minutes all the boulders were removed and Aiko helped Cure
Scarlet to her feet. Scarlet turned to Aiko and spoke to her.
"You have done very well Aiko. I trust you will keep my identity a secret?"
Scarlet congratulated Aiko on removing all the boulders and then asked if she would keep her identity
secret. Aiko spoke.
"Don't worry! Your identity is safe with me. I adore all the Precures and would never betray them!"
Aiko gave her answer and vowed never to betray any of the Precure. Scarlet smiled and then spoke
again.
"Thank you. You have passed the first test of Strength. Please proceed through the cave and I wish you
luck brave warrior!"
Cure Scarlet and urged Aiko to continue through the cave. Cure Scarlet and the boulders all vanished.
Aiko realized that this test was only an illusion. Aiko knew she had to be on her guard of the challenges
that lie ahead. She continued walking when she ran into the 'Yes! Precure 5' team. Cure Dream, Rouge,
Lemonade, Mint, and Aqua all thought Aiko was a monster taking the disguise of a girl and they were
going to charge her with their attacks. Rouge went first a hurled her fire attack at Aiko and Aiko jumped
out of the way. Lemonade went next and hurled her attack and Aiko jumped Lemonade's attack easily.
Mint went next and hurled her attack and Aiko just moved to the side and avoided the attack. Cure Aqua
went next hurled water at Aiko and as before she ducked this time and avoided being drenched.
"My turn!"
Cure Dream spoke as she hurled her attack at Aiko and Aiko instinctively put her hands forward and caught
Dream's attack and the fierceness of the attack caused Aiko skid backwards in the dirt with her feet and
Aiko used all her strength to hurl the attack at a nearby wall of the cave and the attack hit the wall sending
dust and rocks everywhere! Once the dust cleared, Aiko took a stance and Cure Dream smiled and walked
up to Aiko and offered her hand and Aiko accepted in bewilderment.
"Congratulations Aiko! You have passed the test of Courage showing that courage is stronger than any
Precure's power. You have passed this test. Please continue through this cave and good luck young warrior!"
Cure Dream explained to Aiko that she passed the test and the 'Yes! Precure 5' team vanished from Aiko's
sight. It was another illusion.
Aiko continued to walk down the cave until she saw Cure Lovely on the ground and in some sort of pain.
Lovely called out to Aiko.
"Please help me."
Cure Lovely begged Aiko. Aiko knew it was an illusion and she had to play it out.
"How may I help you Cure Lovely?"
Aiko asked Cure Lovely. She wanted to help Lovely anyway possible.
"I hurt my leg. Can you help me treat it?"
Lovely asked Aiko and Aiko smiled and answered.
"Yes, I will be most honored Lovely. Let me examine it closely. Alright?"
Aiko answered Lovely and said that she would be happy to help her. Aiko touched
Lovely's leg where she had hurt it. Lovely gritted her teeth when Aiko touched her
wound. Aiko apologized for touching it. Aiko now knew it wasn't broken.
"I have some ointment I can put on your wound. It may sting a bit, trust me you will feel
better soon."
Aiko explained to Lovely and Aiko knew she needed some cloth so she tore part of
her skirt so she had a piece of long cloth. She got out the ointment from her purse and Lovely spoke
to Aiko.
"Why are you here Aiko?"
Lovely asked Aiko and Aiko thought before answering.
"I love and care for all the Precure equally. I admire them all the same no matter who they
are or where they are from or how old they are. I want to help them any way possible. I would
risk my life for them."
Aiko explained as she finished binding Lovely's leg wound and Aiko helped Lovely to her feet.
"Your wound is just a scrape. You will be just fine."
Aiko reported to Lovely and Lovely smiled and spoke.
"Thank you Aiko. You passed this test. Please proceed to the next test. Good luck to you brave
warrior."
Lovely congratulated Aiko and Cure Lovely vanished and Aiko's skirt was restored good as new.
it was another illusion. Aiko continued down the cave where she ran into Cure March. Cure March
spoke to Aiko.
"Greetings young warrior. I already know why you are here. I am to test your honor. Please answer
my questions. If you pass the test you can proceed to the last test. Understand?"
Cure March explained to Aiko.
"Yes, I do. Please proceed."
Aiko answered Cure March and March asked her first question.
"If you faced the enemy and had to surrender the Smile Precure team to the enemy, would you do it if it
meant saving your own life?"
Cure March asked Aiko and Aiko thought long and hard before answering.
"Cure March, please know that turning over a bunch of Precures to the enemy is wrong. I would never betray
any Precure to the enemy. I'd rather die first. I would be so ashamed if I did that."
Aiko explained to Cure March about what she would do if she had to turn over a bunch of Precures. Aiko explained
that she would rather die first before she did that.
"Second question. If the Smile Precure's leader Cure Happy was beaten by the enemy and she wanted to give
up. What would you to do to help her?"
Cure March asked Aiko and as before Aiko thought before answering. When she was confident that she had the answer,
she spoke.
"I would explain to Cure Happy to never give up! There's always an answer to every situation and a solution to every
problem and a way to defeat the enemy."
Aiko explained what she would do all she could to help encourage Cure Happy.
"Good. Good! Final question. If the enemy was to hurl a huge fireball at the Smile Precure team, what would you
do?"
Cure March asked Aiko. Like before, Aiko thought long and hard and then she answered.
"I would take the hit for them so they wouldn't be hurt. The towns people look up to them as heroines. So, I would
die first to protect them from harm. And I would do that for any Pretty Cure."
Aiko explained again about what she would do in the situation if a fireball was hurled at the Smile Precure team and
Cure March smiled at Aiko.
"Aiko, you show not only honor but wisdom. Please proceed to the final trial. Good luck young warrior."
Cure March spoke and she vanished. It was an illusion. Aiko walked down the cavern to the exit when a mysterious warrior
dressed all in pink with two ponytails at her sides. This was Cure Pink or at least an illusion of her.
"Greetings Aiko. This is the final test. I am to test your fearlessness. If you can show me that you are fearless then you
will have passed the Cave of Trials. Understand?"
Cure Pink asked Aiko and Aiko spoke.
"I understand. Please continue."
Aiko answered Cure Pink. Cure Pink suddenly charged at Aiko and Aiko jumped out of the way so she wasn't hurt by
Cure Pink's sudden charge and Cure Pink slammed into the wall sending dust everywhere.
"Oh good. You are quick on your feet. try this! Pretty Cure Blinding Flash!"
Cure Pink spoke as she released a blinding flash of light and Aiko quickly covered her eyes with her hands and
she protected herself from the blinding flash. And when it it was over, Aiko uncovered her eyes.
"Good. Good. I expected you to do that. Try this on for size! Pretty Cure Pink Purity Blast!"
Cure Pink spoke as she released a huge blast of light at Aiko and Aiko decided to show her fearlessness and stand
her ground and take the hit. Cure Pink was impressed by this and spoke.
"HALT!"
Cure Pink spoke to her own power about one inch before it hit Aiko and Cure Pink's power fizzled away into nothingness.
Cure Pink smiled and spoke as she walked to Aiko.
"Congrats Aiko! Sometimes standing to a friend is tougher than fighting an enemy. You have what it takes to continue
to the Shrine of Portals. You passed the trial. Please go through to the exit. The way has opened before you. You have shown
that you don't seek this power out of greed. Please go through to the exit to the Shrine of Portals. The Great Power awaits you!"
Cure Pink explained to Aiko that she passed the Cave of Trials and Cure Pink vanished. It was another illusion. The exit lit
up white meaning Aiko could now go through. The Great Power awaits her.
