"Nishizawa-san..." the girl read the name from the board. Another girl went to write the name on the board. The previous girl continued, "Yukishiro-san." The other girl wrote the name on the board again.
Nagisa was lost in her thoughts, in the meantime, as she wondered about the events of yesterday. Besides, she was too busy running to train stations and the school this morning to actually think about that. Let's see... a strange light fell into my room yesterday. She nodded to herself. It made me go the ANGELLAND theme park, and Yukishiro seemed to have encountered the same thing as I did. She nodded. A weird kabuki weirdo attacked us and had a roller coaster try to fire eye-lazer beams at us. Another nod. And then... suddenly, we transformed into magical fighting girls. She sighed.
Honoka seemed to have noticed this, but paid it no mind. They weren't busy studying now, were they? Just doing pure, innocent, elections... yep. Absolutely nothing can go wrong. Nothing.
The orange-haired girl sighed to herself. Who was that kabuki wannabe? she wondered. What was that creature who made us transform? And finally... she winced. Does Yukishiro-san remember anything from yesterday at all? Or was yesterday night just a dream...? She sighed yet again.
Everyone suddenly clapped happily, and she looked around. "Huh? Whah?"
The teacher, this time a woman, smiled. "The results are in." she announced. "Yukishiro-san has been elected as the representative for the 2nd Year Sakura Class." she proudly informed.
Honoka stood up and bowed down. "Yoroshiku onegaimasu~" she said happily, although a bit red from all the clapping and cheering.
Nagisa, for now, decided to just clap along with her classmates.
After everything had cheered down, the teacher smiled. "Now then..." she looked around, finally preying onto the hopeful Nagisa much to her disdain. "Nagisa, please read the following passage on pg72." she said with a smile.
The girl nodded, standing up. "Right, umm..." she squinted her eyes, before sighing in relief. This was going to be easy, she was sure. "My friend's name is Tamishiki. I call him Tami-san. We are good friends, but we like different things. Tami-san likes sports, and I like flowers. Even if we like different things, we are still good friends with each other." She coughed a bit before continuing. "When I think of Tami-san, I think of him as a flower. Tami-san is just like a chrysanthemum, and I love chrysanthemums."
"Oi, oi~!"
Nagisa continued. "And then, Tami-san said, 'Oi, oi~!' and... hah?" she paused when the entire class minus the teacher exploded into laughter and giggles. "Wait, what!?"
The teacher looked up from her book upon hearing laughter, curious as to what was going on.
"Oi, oi~!" that voice again. Nagisa gritted her teeth and looked at her bag- that damn Mepple! "It's him...!" she whispered to herself.
The teacher cocked her head at her. "What's the matter, Misumi-san?" she asked. "Is something wrong?"
Nagisa paled. "Oh, um, it's nothing..." she sweat-dropped and looked at Honoka for help.
"...?" the bluenette curiously looked back, unsure as to what Nagisa was asking her to help.
She sighed. "Anyways, um... I'll continue. And then Tami-san said-"
Mepple shook again, this time a bit frustrated. "Oi, oi, oi~!"
"Misumi-san..." the teacher said, musing as to what she should do to her.
Regardless, things would not end up well for our poor orange-haired girl.
Immediately, however, when the bell rang moments later, Nagisa grabbed her bag and ran out the class. Everyone stared at the cloud trails left by the orange-haired girl. "Huhh... that girl's fast." Rina muttered with a sly grin.
Nagisa ran out the school building and hid behind the wall, grabbing the device that Mepple transformed into. "Oi, oi! What did you want during class?" she asked, annoyed.
Mepple made a tempting (in terms of I-want-to-kill-him) whiny face, muttering, "I'm hungry, mepo..." he told her. "Nagisa, gimme something to eat..."
The girl drooped down, landing no her knees. "Are you kidding me!? I'm not your wife, or your friend!" she exclaimed.
"Okay, then please, Nagisa-sama!" Mepple happily asked. The girl stared at him, wondering what was wrong with his brain. "Then, Nagisa-onee-sama~?" Again, no response. "Princess Nagisaaaaaaa!"
"Shut upppppp!" Nagisa retorted, shaking Mepple around.
The fairy whimpered. "Ehhhh, but if I don't eat, I'll die..." He pushed himself a bit towards Nagisa. "And if that happens... I'll haunt you from my grave, mepo~"
"Oh, hush." the girl said.
"I'll stop, so feed me, mepo!"
Nagisa sighed. "But I don't have any food with me." she muttered.
Mepple smiled. "Use the card, mepo~" The girl gave him a blank stare. "If you don't, I can't eat, mepo~"
Curiously, Nagisa grabbed the set of Precure cards from her bag. She looked. "Which one?" she asked.
"Omupu, mepo~"
She cocked her head. "Omupu?" she looked at the set of cards in her hands. "...this one?" Nagisa asked, picking one out. Mepple shook his head with a 'mepo'. Grabbing another one, Nagisa showed it to him. Another negative. She picked a third card, and when Mepple shook his head again, she groaned. "This is stupid... then, this one!?" she took one out.
Mepple smiled. "That one! That's Omupu, mepo!"
"Oh...?" Nagisa stared at the card. This is Omupu? Huh... She shrugged and slashed the card.
She would later witness the hilarious selfishness of Mepple.
Pissard kneeled on his legs. "I have found the two that have escaped from the Garden of Light." he informed to the darkness.
The auras mixed with the black smogs, brown stains occasionally smearing around the auras and smogs and disappearing. In the midst of darkness, two bright red eyes opened themselves. "I see." it growled. Annoyed, the place shook as its chains, capturing its body from arms to legs to head, its barely visible and extremely pitch black face scowled at him. "Yet you still do not have the remaining Prism Stones with you. Why is that..." it gave a piercing glare to Pissard, "...Pissard?"
He swallowed. "Th-that's because, I met with some unexpected interferences. They claim to be Pr-"
"I do NOT want to hear excuses!" the colossal being's voice bellowed against the villain. "The Prism Stones... we already have five of them in our possession."
"Y-yes, but-"
It shot another piercing glare, sending chills to the villain. "Pissard." it began. "Your mission is to take away the remaining two Prism Stones from the fairies that ran away with each. You understand, right, that I need them for my survival?"
Pissard stuttered, but nevertheless went back to kneeling. "Yes, I understand, my lord."
"To survive, I need to power of the Prism Stones... all of them. And then, I shall become immortal." the giant colossal laughed. "My Dark Zone shall cover up the entire universe... and all shall be under our command." Taking in Pissard's frightened-yet-amazed expression, it chuckled. "Go, Pizzard... I trust in you. FOR OUR FUTURE!"
Gaining courage again, Pissard nodded and saluted, his back straight. "Yes, my lord!"
The two of them laughed evilly for quite some time, before Pissard left to accomplish his mission...
...or so he thought, but he couldn't find those... 'Precures' at all. Honestly, he didn't think they would exist- he actually blurted it out and called those girls Precures before they even transformed. But he knew that they had to be one of those legendary Precures, those warriors who defeats evil and saves the world. Pissard couldn't remember when he had heard about those brave magical girls, he only remembered hearing it from the Garden of Light, but from what he secretly knew they used to exist many years ago. What happened to them, however, is a mystery- but why they are returning now, is the question.
He had tried to find them and get the fairies, but... where the hell are they!? He stood on top of a building, staring down at the hundreds of humans walking amongst the streets. "...what is this... power?" he asked himself, expecting no answers. "They're weak and pitiful individually, but together... the power is everywhere. That's not all." he analyzed further. "There's lots of mixture of happiness and sorrow... and anger and frustration. It's like... a weird explosion of fiery power." he smirked. "It seems like I can give my lord Dark King a nice gift..." Pissard told himself.
Nagisa looked at the weird... experiment thing in front of her. What was it going to do? Build more experiments, or some kind of poisonous gas? That'd be... creepy. Like, no, really.
She looked up upon seeing Honoka walk into the class with her science coat. "Hmm? Oh, Yukishiro-san!" she smiled, before glancing curiously at the experiment. "Did you make this?"
The bluenette nodded. "Hai. This is my proud accomplishment." she explained. As Nagisa cooed in interest, she giggled. "Please watch for a little, okay?" She took a cup of sugar and poured it into a beaker on the experiment. "If you pour this sugar water..." the two observed, and Nagisa flew back in surprise when steam erupted. "It's alright, Misumi-san~" she reassured, and together the two watched for the results. Honoka smiled upon a candy falling down on the tray. "See? A candy was made!"
Nagisa was flabbergasted. "G-getting so excited over a piece of candy...?"
The bluenette nodded and pouted. "You say it's just one candy, but..." she began, but the materials began shaking. "A-ah! Get down!" Nagisa nodded and ducked behind a desk, to which the experiment exploded. Honoka sighed. "Ah, I have to rebuild it again..."
"A-again!?" Nagisa shrieked at that word.
Heading towards the elevator, Shiho laughed. "But still, I kinda wished Nagisa was chosen~" she sad playfully, scratching her head. Rina laughed along with her.
"True, true... those two make a great pair." Rina said.
Shiho suddenly struck a pose. "Boy Magnet, Yukishiro-san!"
Rina went along with her. "Girl Magnet, Nagisa!"
"We are the Lovey-Dovey Magnetizers!"
As everybody stared at them and shrugged, the two bursted out laughing in the middle of the building. They wiped their tears.
"Man, I bet they'd make a great team fighting off some kind of evil love-hogger." Shiho hypothesized.
Rina patted her on the head. "Yeah, I bet they will."
They finally reached the elevator, and along with some other people, they stood and wait. "..." the two remained silent.
Suddenly, the elevator stopped. They looked out the window and saw that they haven't even reached their destination yet. (They knew the height level of the floor they were supposed to reach.) "H-huh?" Rina froze. "Is this elevator... broken?"
One man banged on the door. "Help! Help! Let us out, we're stuck!" he panicked.
As the others began screaming, Rina and Shiho stared outside the window with uncertainty.
"You had something to tell me, right?" Honoka asked.
Nagisa nodded, and smiled sadly. "It's just..." she sighed. "I just don't want to do this anymore." she explained. "You know..."
"The stuff from yesterday?"
"Mmhm." she smiled and looked away. "Even if I told my mom and dad, they probably won't believe me." the orange-haired girl looked at the sleeping Mepple. "I just, you know, can't take care of Mepple forever."
Honoka walked over to the window. "...I see." she replied, a tone of sadness hinted from her voice.
Nagisa raised her head. "Y-Yukishiro-san?" she asked. "...a-are you saying that-"
"In my opinion, this is a gift from fate." Honoka explained, interrupting her. Before Nagisa could say anything, she turned around and smiled. "I'm not saying that we have to join together to save the world, but... it just sounds interesting!"
Nagisa clutched onto her head. "I don't understand you at all!" she screamed, somewhat frustrated. "We almost died! Next time a monster showed up, I bet that-"
"Bet that what?" Honoka asked, frowning. Nagisa froze, unsure of what to say. The bluenette grabbed the piece of candy she had made from the experiment and pushed it gently into the lacrosse-player's mouth, surprising her. "Do you not like working with me?" she asked, curious with disappointment.
"N-no, I meant, um..." Nagisa turned red, albeit unsure of why so. "Umm, uhh..." her head was spinning with confusion. The piece of candy was still in her mouth, and she had no idea if it was safe to swallow it- not like she cared anyways at the moment.
At that moment, thankfully to Nagisa, a soccer ball crashed into the window. She grabbed it and went to the window, forgetting what had just happened to her not long ago. "Mou, it's the guys from the Soccer Club!"
Honoka let the girl ran outside the building to confront the Soccer Club, chuckling to herself. Upon seeing Nagisa suddenly soften in front of one of the boys, she turned curious. "...where did that threatening attitude go?" the bluenette asked herself.
Nearby, on top of the building with the two students trapped in the elevator, Pissard smirked. "Very good, Zakenna." he said to the monster next to him- a Zakenna that had possessed a vacuum cleaner. It was now sucking air and electricity into its stomach. As Pissard laughed, he grinned and walked somewhere else. "Now, Zakenna..."
Mipple yawned as she woke up. "Ohayou, Honoka!" she exclaimed happily.
The bluenette returned the laughter, although she sweat-dropped. "Um, but it's already afternoon though..."
"Hehhh!?" the fairy screamed. "How long have I been asleep, mipo!?"
"A long time."
Mipple panicked while Honoka laughed.
After calming down, Mipple smiled. "Hey, hey, Honoka!" she began talking. "Do you want to hear about where I came fro- umm, Honoka?" she paused, sweat-dropping.
Honoka's eyes were glittering with fascination, and the bluenette in topic nodded eagerly as she closed up to Mipple. "Yes, of course! This could help me in identifying what creature you are, scientifically!" she squealed.
"...umm, okay, mipo..." Mipple coughed. "The place I come from is called the Garden of Light, mipo."
Honoka stared. "Garden of Light?" she asked herself. "I wonder what forest that is..." she prepared to open her textbook's maps, but Mipple shook her head.
"No, no, it's not in this world, mipo." she smiled. "In the Garden of Light, flowers were always blooming!" the fairy said, her eyes fascinated as well. "The people there had bravery, hope and justice in their hearts... it was a very beautiful place, naturally and socially!" Mipple exclaimed. "Everyone was living extremely happily... until one day, dark evil appeared from nowhere and started taking over the Garden of Light."
"T-that's horrible!" Honoka said.
Mipple nodded. "They came from the Dark Zone." she explained. "Our Queen and elders were afraid of being consumed by the Dark Zone. Thus they gave the Prism Stones to me, the Princess of Hope!" the fairy proudly said. "Aaaand also Mepple, the chosen hero, so we could escape... mipo."
Honoka cocked. "Prism Stone?"
Mipple nodded again. "The stones of life. Both of us fairies have one, mipo."
"Honoka?"
The two stuttered, and Mipple hid as a device. Honoka turned around. "W-whaaat is it, obaa-chama?" she asked.
The frail lady smiled. "Honoka, who were you talking to just now?"
"N-no one..." Honoka lowered her head, nervous. "I was, um... just talking to myself. Yeah." she responded.
"By the way..." her grandma began. "...have you been to the storage shed recently?"
Honoka shook her head. "N-no, no I haven't."
"I see... then there's nothing wrong."
Honoka's grandmother left, and the girl herself was left wondering what that was all about. Something suddenly occurred to her- the storage shed. That was where she met Mipple, wasn't it? She peeked outside and stared on as her grandmother disappeared from her view into the house.
"..." Honoka remained silent, doubting that the grandmother could have anything to do with this Precure business.
Nagisa ran towards the shelf, finding her shoes. In the mean time, Ryouta walked through the house entrance. "Tadaima..." he greeted. Noticing his sister, he frowned. "Sis, you've got to believe me. Outside is a wreck!" Ryouta exclaimed, Nagisa nodding without listening. "All the signals are lost and dysfunctional... huh?"
The girl walked past him, towards the door. She paused when Ryouta grabbed her, though.
"Ehhh, where are you going, onee-chan?" he asked. "Tell me..."
"Shut up!" Nagisa hissed, locking her little brother into a Cobra Twist.
Soon enough, he let her go and she ran towards wherever Mepple was telling her to. "Ah! Yukishiro-san!" she exclaimed upon seeing Honoka rush towards her.
"Misumi-san!" the bluenette shouted. "Something bad is happening, Mipple says-"
"I know!" Nagisa told her. "We need to go defeat whatever is going on."
The two nod to each other and stopped upon seeing a familiar elevator on a tall building. "W-what's the matter, Misumi-san?"
Nagisa pointed up. "S-Shiho, Rina!"
The bluenette looked up and gasped. Both of Nagisa's friends were trapped inside an elevator. "We need to help them!"
The two entered the building and rushed up the stairs. Panicking inside, worried for her friends' safety, Nagisa increased her speed (much to the surprise of Honoka) and kicked the door open. The two went through and gasped at the sight of a familiar face. "Y-you!" Nagisa shrieked.
Pissard laughed. "Well, well... I knew you would show up soon." he mused with a smirk.
Grunting, Nagisa shook her head and ran somewhere else. "I don't have the time to deal with you right now..." she told him.
As Honoka stared at him with uncertainty, Pissard laughed. "But I would really like to deal with you, however." He raised his hand, and shouted, "Go, Zakenna!"
The Zakenna turned around and smacked its face across the two girls. They jumped back, but tripped back in the process and landed roughly on the ground. "Ouch... damn, now you're just making me angry!"
Mepple grinned. "Transform now, mepo!"
Nagisa nodded. "Yukishiro-san!" She called out, to which the bluenette nodded.
"Now, slash the cards!"
The two slashed their cards, and immediately, they began transforming again.
Pissard tried to remain steady as the light bursted from under the two girls. He observed carefully as they gained new clothings, and turned into... Precures. "...stupid brats." he muttered.
"Emissary of Light," Cure Black introduced, "Cure Black!"
The same went for Honoka. "Emissary of Light, Cure White!"
"Futari wa... Precure!" their voices mixed together as they glared at the Zakenna and Pissard.
"Servant of the Dark Power..."
"Return to the darkness from which you came!"
Pissard mused. "As I thought... it's just like the legend from the Garden of Light." Smiling with arrogance, he raised his hand. "Zakenna, don't hold back! Crush them!"
"ZAKENNA!"
Rina sighed as she looked at her phone. Of all the things she could do while trapped in the elevator, she decided to start a timer to see how long they would be trapped in an elevator. Although she heard some kind of fighting above, she paid it no attention.
The panicking people, especially the man who was previously banging on the door frantically, had given up any hope by now. They sat near one corner of the elevator room, their heads drooped down.
Shiho placed her ears on the wall of the room. Rina noticed this. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"Shhh... something's going on way up there." Shiho told her and the girl tried to listen as well.
"Emissary of... Black..."
"...light... Cure Whi..."
They raised an eyebrow. Was there some kind of weird superhero show going on? They should know by now that the elevators weren't working, right? ...well, hopefully. The two went back to listening to the noise way upstairs.
"Misu... I mean, Black..." one girly voice shouted. "Go save... and the others..."
The other girl seemed to gasp. "But Yuki... um, White... what about..."
"I'll... Zakenna off... now!"
For some reason, the voices felt familiar but Rina and Shiho couldn't place a finger on who they were. They felt the elevator shake and suddenly, a thump above them. Everyone looked up. "...h-hello?" Shiho shouted.
"Shiho! You're safe!"
Rina stared at her friend. "...um, do we know you!?"
"U-uhh... no! I am Cure Black, and-"
"Please! Save us!" the previous man suddenly exclaimed. "I'm begging you, whoever you are! Please help us!"
The voice seemed to shuffle. "Umm, I'll try..."
Suddenly, another voice laughed at Cure Black. "Do not be foolish, Precure. You cannot save them." it laughed.
Rina clutched her hands. "H... hey! Who's that, who are you!?" she shouted.
"You all shall die... painfully."
The elevator shook, and suddenly began falling. Cure Black and all the passengers in the elevators seemed to scream in fear.
Cure Black began panicking. "A-ahhh! What should I do!? They're going to die!"
At the last moment, however, the elevator began slowing down and stopped right at the bottom of the building. Everyone looked around, confused.
"...a-ah, right! Shiho, Rina, wait right there! I'll get you out!" Cure Black said as she tried to punch her a hole into the elevator's ceiling.
Shiho shook her head and sighed, however. "Cure Black, go help your friend." she said.
"B-but, you guys are-"
Shiho smiled, to the surprise of Rina. "Cure White is waiting for you, so... go help her destroy whatever the problem is. We'll be fine! Right?" she asked her friend and the other trapped people.
Slowly, Rina nodded. "...she's right, Cure Black. We'll be alright, so go help your friend!"
Cure Black stuttered. "But... but...!"
The panicking man suddenly shouted, "Precure. Precure! Precure!" Slowly, he cheered for the two Precures (although there was only one who could hear it), and the others start repeating the same thing.
"Precure! Precure! Precure!"
Finally, Cure Black gritted her teeth and smiled. "Alright, trust me!" she jumped up high, then wall-jumped until she reached the top. But not before saying, "I'll coe back to save you guys!"
All of them cheered.
Cure White wasn't doing so well, however, as the Zakenna's vacuum wire wrapped around her leg. "N-no!" she shrieked, before the Zakenna swung her around. "I- I'm going to throw up..." she muttered, dizzy.
The Zakenna laughed and finally swung it towards the stone wall of the roof's entrance, smacking Cure White's body roughly against it.
"K-kyaah!" she screamed. The wire let her go and she fell to the ground, clutching onto her body. "T-that hurt..."
Pissard returned and laughed. "Too bad, Precure. You are now alone."
Cure White's eyes widened. "No way! Black wouldn't be defeated so easily... right?" she muttered. Misumi-san...
The villain laughed again. "Even if she was alive, she'll die soon anyways." He walked over to Cure White and kicked her across the ground. "And soon, you'll join them too." He walked over to the Zakenna. "Zakenna! Finish her!"
"ZAKENNA!"
"White, hang in there!" Cure Black shouted, jumping through the door to kick Pissard in the back of his head.
"G-gahh!" he shrieked, jumping away. "You Precure! I thought you had died!"
Cure Black smirked. "Not that easily, though!" She turned to Cure White. "White, we'll defeat these guys first and save them later, okay?" she explained.
Although Cure White wanted the people saved first, she calme down after seeing Cure Black's somewhat lifting smile and agreed. "A-alright." Cure White replied while rubbing her arms.
Cure Black pulled her up by hand and they shut their eyes, hoping for power while the vacuum Zakenna shot a fully charged electric beam at them.
"...?" Cure White looked up. A barrier had somehow formed around the two. "B-Black! Look!"
She opened her eyes and gasped. Cure Black then smiled. "White!"
"...alright!"
The two smirked at the Zakenna, who was still processing in its mind what was going to happen next.
"Black Thunder!"
"White Thunder!"
Lightning struck down onto their palms, pitch black and clear white. Energy merged inside the two, warmth filling them up. Cure White gave a piercing glare at the Zakenna.
"Our beautiful souls..." she said.
"...shall crush your evil hearts!" Nagisa finished.
The two raised their hands towards the Zakenna and shrieked, "Precure Marble Screw!" Like before, black-and-white lightning merged together and struck the vacuum Zakenna.
"ZAKENNA!"
Landing one more kick, Cure Black bounced off and rushed to Cure White, the two holding their places not to get blown away. Pissard jumped away to avoid the explosion, while the Zakenna bursted into millions of dark stars that grunted 'I'M SORRY... I'M SORRY...' over and over.
The two girls then smiled, and decided to go save the trapped elevator people.
Far away, Pissard grunted. "...what is this power?" he mused, before disappearing.
At the same time, a yellow-haired girl stood near the elevator entrance. Her hair glowing, as the elevator was about to crash down in front of her, she lifted her hands. The elevator slowly came to a stop, gently touching the ground.
At the sound of confusion, the girl walked away. Her eyes immediately changed and she gasped. "Huh? What... what was I doing?" she asked herself, looking around. Upon seeing the elevator's not so severe crash nearby, she became nervous and walked away, hoping that she would not be followed.
"It was amazing, you know?" Shiho exclaimed. "You should've came with us..."
Rina nodded as Nagisa sighed, rolling her eyes. "We were trapped in this elevator... and suddenly, someone was about to save us when the elevator fell!"
Shiho paled a bit. "I seriously thought we were going to die..." She laughed and patted Nagisa. "But then this awesome person who called herself Cure Black saved us after fighting some weird thing!" she cheered, finally. "She asked all of us to keep her and Cure White's appearance a secret, because she didn't want to be on the news, but... KYAAAAH it was so amazing!"
Her friend just mused. "I wonder who she was..." Rina sighed.
Nagisa sweat-dropped. "H-hey, if we don't hurry, we'll be late." she lied... until something dawned upon all three of time.
"Oh no!" they all shout simultaneously, rushing ahead.
As they passed by Honoka, Nagisa heard her chuckle but paid it no attention.
Honoka could only stare at the trails they left with a smile.
