Lydia: ERIC! You have failed me one too many times. Now you tell me, what should I do with you?
Eric: I-Its not my fault, your majesty, its just that..
Lydia: I don't want to hear your excuses. You let three little girls defeat you over and over again.
Eric: That's because I haven't been fighting on my own, your highness. I've been using my fairies. Just give me one more chance. I'll defeat those girls with my own hands. I'll have them on their knees, begging for mercy. I can really do that.
Lydia: Hmm... alright. I'll give you one last chance, Eric. This time, I want those girls CRUSHED and those fairies here. Then my kingdom will be complete.
Eric: Of course, my Queen. I'll attack them when they least expect it. They won't even know what hit them.
All this was seen by Anna, using her unique power. Immediately, she contacted Queen Regina and told her what she had seen.
Regina: This is indeed rather serious. Contact Maria and Sarah and tell them to bring the girls here. This is an emergency.
Anna: Yes, your highness.
Anna contacted Maria and Sarah and she herself told Ayumi of what she ha seen. Within no time, Minami and Sakura were at Ayumi's place.
Sakura: Yes, Queen Regina? What's the emergency you called us for?
Regina: Anna saw a terrible vision for the future. She saw Eric planning a surprise attack on you. It could happen when you least expect it. So you must be prepared at any given moment. What's worse is that Eric is more poweruful than any of his fairies when he has enough negative energy.
Sakura: Then why didn't he fight us himself beforehand?
Regina: Because like him mistress, Eric doesn't want to get his hands dirty. He'd rather have his fairies do all the work for him. Now girls, come inside this mirror. I have to train you.
Ayumi: Can't Anna's vision of the future tell us when Eric's gonna strike,
Anna: No. I only predict events that happen, not when they'll happen. Even when I foresaw Lydia's attack, I didn't know exactly when it would happen. You have to be prepared.
The girls and the fairies went inside the mirror.
Regina: Now girls, transform.
Minami: Shining Sparkle...
Sakura: Dream Sparkle...
Ayumi: Sunshine Sparkle...
All three: CHARGE UP!
Regina: Alright girls. That is an exact replica of Eric. Your object will be to defeat him. Do the best you can. Good luck.
Dream Sparkle: Alright Eric, eat this!
She pulls out her wand and it gets bigger.
Dream Sparkle: DREAM WAND!
However, the attack left the replica undeterred.
Dream Sparkle: What?! That's supposed to work every time.
Shining Sparkle: Let me try.
She pulled out her wand too.
Shining Sparkle: SHINING WAND!
That too, left it undeterred.
Shining Sparkle: It didn't work.
Sunshine Sparkle: But my attack will. SUNSHINE BURST!
Even that left it undeterred.
Sunshine Sparkle: No, no, NO! Nothing's working.
Dream Sparkle: We can't give up! Lets combine attacks. Dream...
Shining Sparkle: Shining...
Sunshine Sparkle: Sunshine...
Dream Sparkle: ARROW!
Shining Sparkle: BEAM!
Sunshine Sparkle: BURST!
The attacks combined and defeated the replica.
Dream Sparkle: Wow, we did it.
Regina: Don't think its over yet. I know for certain that tomorrow won't be that day. Eric needs time to get all the energy he needs. So come back here. The fight will not be as easy as just combining attacks.
The next day, they came back to train. This time, the fight was much more challenging. But they did it nonetheless.
A week passed. Every day, the girls went to train, each fight becoming tougher than the last, but Eric didn't attack them. Then, during the weekend, they were at the park, playing. Eric had gathered enough energy to become powerful.
Eric: There. I've gathered enough negative energy from feelings of sadness, anger, regret and disappointment. Now I'll strike. Poor little girls. Just playing as though nothing unusual will happen. Little do they know, this will be their last day.
Eric prepared an energy blast that hit the girls.
Ayumi: Ow...what was that?
Eric: Hello, girls. You weren't expecting me now, were you?
Sakura: Eric! Dang it, I forgot all about you!
Eric: Of course you did. Now I have enough negative energy to beat you.
Ayumi: Come on girls. Lets put our training to action!
Minami: Shining Sparkle...
Sakura: Dream Sparkle...
Ayumi: Sunshine Sparkle...
All three: CHARGE UP!
Shining Sparkle: I am the Magical Girl of Kindness! Shining Sparkle!
Dream Sparkle: I am the Magical Girl of Determination! Dream Sparkle!
Sunshine Sparkle: I am the Magical Girl of Happiness! Sunshine Sparkle!
Eric: Very nice. Now, say goodbye.
Eric shot an energy blast at them.
Sunshine Sparkle: Sunshine Charge!
The two attacks clashed, but in the end, Eric's proved to be more powerful.
Sunshine Sparkle: Aah!
Shining and Dream Sparkle: Sunshine!
Eric: And now its your turn.
Dream Sparkle: DREAM LIGHT!
Eric: Hah! That stupid light will have no effect on me.
Dream Sparkle: Wh-What?
Shining Sparkle: Shine Shower!
Eric just caught all the sparkles in his hand and reverted them back to Dream and Shining.
Dream and Shining Sparkke: Aaaaaaahhhhh!
Eric: Now, take THIS!
He shot a thunder bolt at them. Tears appeared in Shining's eyes.
Shining Sparkle: Ow...it hurts.
Dream Sparkle: Don't cry, Shining. We've trained for this! We can't give up! Lets try combining attacks.
Shining Sparkle: What do we have to lose anyway?
Dream Sparkle: Dream...
Shining Sparkle: Shining...
Sunshine Sparkle: Sunshine...
Dream Sparkle: ARROW!
Shining Sparkle: BEAM!
Sunshine Sparkle: BURST!
The attacks combined and actually hit Eric.
Eric: Ha ha ha. Very clever. An attack that actually managed to hit me. That's an achievement. But don't count on it. Here's another lightning bolt!
The girls, except Shining, avoided it.
Dream and Sunshine Sparkle: SHINING!
Shining Sparkle: Even out combined attack...didn't hurt him.
Dream Sparkle: No no no no! We can't give up! We have to do this...for Maria, Sarah and Anna. Because if we don't, they'll be corrupted too.
Shining Sparkle: Yeah...for them... Sh-shine...S-storm...
Eric: Too weak. Now its my turn.
Eric shot an energy blast at them that trapped them.
Shining Sparkle: I...I can't move.
Sunshine Sparkle: None of us can.
Sarah: Girls!
Eric: Too bad. They're trapped now. That energy blast paralyzed them and will slowly suck out their energy until they die.
Maria: Nooooo!
Anna: We'll never surrender, Eric.
Sunshine Sparkle: Yeah...leave them...alone...AAAHHH!
Shining Sparkle: (crying) Its no use...despite our training...we're still overpowered.
Dream Sparkle: Shining, we're gonna be okay. Please don't cry.
Maria: Minami-chan...
Dream Sparkle: Minami-chan, give me your hand.
Shining Sparkle reached out an held Sakura's hand. Ayumi did so too.
Dream Sparkle: If we're going to die, we might as well...die together...
Sunshine Sparkle: That's right. We're...a team...we fought together and now we'll die together.
Shining Sparkle: Yeah...everything's better with friends...even dying.
The girls closed their eyes. But when they did, a very bright light shone that freed them from their trap.
Eric: What's happening? What's that light.
Maria: No way...
Sarah: They just got their team attack.
Anna: Girls! Hold hands and scream 'Team Sparkle'.
Shining Sparkle, Dream Sparkle and Sunshine Sparkle held hands. The bright light shone again and they screamed:
"TEAM SPARKLE!"
First came a pink light, them a blue one, them a yellow one. They joined together and made a big, white light which hit Eric and defeated him.
Eric: NOOOOO! How can this happen? How could I have been defeated? Whyyyy?!
The girls detransformed
Ayumi: That...was...AWESOME!
Minami: And just when I was about to give up!
Sakura: I knew we could win!
Maria, Sarah and Anna: GIRLS!
The fairies hugged the girls.
Maria: You have no idea how glad I am that you're okay!
Sarah: We thought he had you there.
Sakura: He'll never defeat us, no matter how hard he tries.
Ayumi: Hey Minami-chan, are you okay?
Minami: Yeah, I'm fine. Still a bit shocked though.
Sakura: Don't worry No matter what obstacles Eric throws at us, we'll overcome them all. Because we're a team!
