Chapter 3 First Day Trouble part 1: Enemies Revealed
(This is gonna start with each group starting at the new schools which aren't gonna have specific names as my Japanese sucks. Think of it like the episode of Avatar The Stories of Ba Sing Se.)
At Honoka's home
It was around four in the morning and Shawn, Taylor, and Kara had awakened and were currently practicing. Honoka needed to go to the bathroom and was surprised to find the three in the yard so early.
"Why are you up so early?" asked Honoka.
"Morning practice." said Shawn.
"I understand but why so early?" asked Honoka. "Aren't you tired?"
"I'm not. How about you two?" asked Shawn.
"I'm fine." said Kara.
"Me too." said Taylor.
"Well okay." said Honoka before heading to the bathroom. After she headed back to the room she was now sharing with Kara. The morning Shawn made breakfast to thank Honoka and her grandmother for letting them stay. After they got their things ready Shawn passed the lunches he'd made for the others. On the way to school they met up with Nagisa and Hikari.
"Excuse me Garrett-san." said Honoka causing Shawn, Kara, and Taylor to turn around.
"I meant Shawn-san." said Honoka.
"We're friends so just call me by my name." shrugged Shawn.
"Best to call all of us by our first names." said Kara.
"Right. Shawn I was wondering if I could ask you something." said Honoka.
"Go ahead." said Shawn.
"How did you learn to cook so well?" asked Honoka.
"Well I was on my own for a few years." said Shawn. "As such I had to learn to survive."
"You've been alone? What about your parents?" asked Nagisa causing Shawn to stop suddenly. At that Kara and Taylor looked at each other and then down.
"They're gone and let's leave it at that." said Shawn as he kept walking.
"Something bad happened, didn't it?" whispered Honoka.
"Yes it did." said Shawn surprising the three Pretty Cure.
"His hearing is very sharp." said Honoka.
"Yeah. Probably should've mentioned that we're only half human." said Kara. "So we can hear way better than most humans."
"You'll get used being around us after a while." said Taylor. Not too long after they got to Verone where Taylor was gonna be attending with Hikari. However then they followed the new arrivals behind a tree.
"Why are we behind here?" asked Hikari.
"Alright do it." said Shawn. "But remember just don't become Laura."
Then Amy jumped out of Taylor's backpack and the two closed their eyes.
"Tinkle Tinkle Rillitt." said both Taylor and Amy. "Turn Amy/me into Lorna." said two said at the same time. That caused Taylor to start glowing and grow. Shortly after she became a girl who looked the same age as Taylor but who had long green hair with green eyes who wore the same uniform as Hikari and Taylor also including a backpack like Taylor's.
"How did...?" began Nagisa.
"It's a spell." replied Kara. "It let's the user turn one person into anyone they can imagine."
"Or anything into anyone." added Taylor.
"Alright remember not to draw too much attention to yourselves." said Shawn.
"Right Nii-san." said Taylor.
"Alright." said Amy in her now human form.
"And?" inquired Shawn.
"No fighting unless someone tries to mess with us and even then hold back." said Taylor.
"Right. Good luck." said Shawn patting both girls' heads.
"Mou. Nii-san I'm not a little kid." said Taylor.
"Come on." said Hikari leading Taylor and Amy in.
After they got to school Nagisa felt bad about bringing up whatever pain might have been caused to him.
"Class we have two new students transfering." said the sensei. She then turned and in came in Shawn and Kara. "Would you two like to introduce yourselves?"
"Hello. I'm Garrett Shawn."
"And I'm Garrett Kara." The two then bowed and said "Yoroshiku onegai shimasu."
"So you two are related?" asked the sensei.
"We're cousins." they both said at the same time.
"Alright. Shawn-san sit over behind Shiho and Kara-san sit in front of Honoka-san." said the sensei. "Could you both stand?" At that Honoka and a girl with short red hair stood up. After the two cousins went and sat down. During class the sensei tried to not go too fast so as not to confuse the two new students but to her surprise the two had no trouble keeping up and were even exceeding her expectations. During the classes both seemed to be doing very well.
Meanwhile
Over at Verone Academy Hikari showed Taylor around until class started which is when she left. After introducing herself Taylor tried to pay attention in class but found herself constantly nodding off until she remembered something and smiled. She took out what looked like a flat earing which she placed on her left ear. When she did the outer edge of it turned blue.
'Transmitting.' thought Taylor.
"Recieving." said a voice straight into her mind.
'Hey Sara. What're you doin'?' thought Taylor.
"Doing research." replied Sara. "Why are you using this? Hasn't your brother told you it's for emergencies and missions only?"
'Yeah well it's not like he hasn't done this kind of thing before.'
Back with the others
"Alright. Time for lunch." said Nagisa as she moved a desk and sat with Honoka and Kara. "By the way where's Shawn?"
"Probably on the roof. He prefers to eat there." replied Kara.
"I see." said Nagisa. "Do you think he's still mad?"
"He wasn't mad." replied Kara. "This isn't the kind of thing that would get him mad. It just bums him out to remember. He'll get over it pretty fast. But don't mention that kind of thing to Taylor either."
"Since they are brother and sister." said Honoka.
"That's got nothing to do with it." said Kara. "Shawn and I are related by blood but Taylor isn't actually related to us." she explained. "I don't know much other than her parents are dead too and Shawn adopted her as his sister. Thanks to Shawn's work for S.H.I.E.L.D. they put in a call and in a few minutes it was official."
"So this S.H.I.E.L.D. has that much influence?" asked Honoka.
"And then some." said Kara before looking serious for a moment. Then suddenly she wolfed down her food faster than any time Honoka had ever seen Nagisa eat. After she got up and looked around.
"What's wrong?" asked Honoka as Nagisa drank something to keep herself from choking. Suddenly they felt an explosion which made them nearly fall.
"What was that?" asked Nagisa.
"Just don't say anything and follow me." whispered Kara. "And bring your lunches."
"Why?" whispered Honoka.
"Because if I'm right we might not come back in here for a while and the last thing we need is you two hungry if we have to fight." replied Kara. "Now let's go." she whispered sneaking out followed by the other two. When they made it outside they saw Inferno falling from the roof but then he spun and landed on his feet. At that Kara pulled both Pretty Cure into a bush.
"What are you doing?" asked Nagisa.
"Don't charge into battle if you haven't seen the enemy." said Kara. "Besides you two haven't finished eating and if you don't it might handicap you so finish." she said sternly almost like a mother catching the two off gaurd and causing them to start eating as Kara transformed silently. Then they looked and saw Inferno looking around with his hand on the hilt of his sword. Then a strange silver blob made its way towards him and attacked forcing him to jump. "Come on. Show yourself." she whispered to herself. Then the blob became more humanoid but with a few distinguishing features. Mainly it had what look like hair, the face had strange looking eyes with a mouth which had sharp teeth.
"Is that Fusion?" asked Nagisa in shock.
"It can't be." said Aquatica. "How can anyone else know about them?"
"Them who?" asked Honoka.
"I'll have to explain later." said Aquatica running towards the two as her body converted to water allowing her to move faster. When she got next to Inferno her body returned to normal. "Is that?"
"Looks like it." said Inferno.
"Looks like my objective is complete." said the silver creature before vanishing.
"Ah dammit." said Inferno. "I think we walked right into this one."
"Indeed you did." said a voice as a guy appeared wearing what looked like a grey suit but with a trench coat. Then a guy in a what looked like funeral clothes walked up from behind him.
"Are these the ones?" asked the guy in black.
"Yes they are." said the other guy.
"Who are you guys?" asked Inferno who reverted back to Shawn along with Aquatica who revereted to Kara.
"I'm Mark." said the guy in black.
"Name's Jake."said the other guy, " And we're here to give you two choices. Give us the cards or duel with your souls at stake."
"Then we'll duel." said Shawn.
"Very well." said the man in black as both held out their wrists causing a strange device which was strapped to their left wrists. Shawn and Kara pulled up their sleeves causing a red and gold and a blue and silver devices on their respective left wrists.
"Battle on. Activate." called out the two causing a red and gold version and a blue and silver versions of the devices the two guys had. Then all four pulled out decks of card and put them into the largest opening. Once both Honoka and Nagisa finished their lunches they were about to pull out Mepple and Mipple when Honoka stopped Nagisa.
"What's wrong?" asked Nagisa.
"I'm not sure but I don't think they're going to actually fight." said Honoka.
"Game on!" called out both Shawn and Kara as a counter lit up on all four devices that revealed 4000 on it.
"I'll start things off." called out Shawn drawing a card. "I start with the spell Dance of the Storm!" he called out sliding a card that had a green frame into one of the slots on the back of his device. This caused a larger version of the card to appear in front of him standing up. "Thanks to this I can special summon out Galactic Hero Storm Master (Level 6, Light, Fairy/Effect, 2300/1800)*!" he called out as the card began glowing then shattered revealing a woman in a strange pink out fit who long white hair and was covered in an electric aura. "Next up I'm activating the spell Attribute Tag Out. With this I choose one monster on my side of the field and return it to my hand. In exchange I can special summon out a monster whose level is the same as the chosen monster so long as the level is equal to or less than the chosen monster." he explained with a smile. "Now let's get this party really going." he said as his Storm Master began glowing and moved back into his hand. "Now I can summon out Dark Magician Girl (Level 6, Dark, Spellcaster/Effect, 2000/1700)." he said as he placed another card on the card slot on top of his own device causing a girl who had long blond hair who wore a strange magician outfit that was blue edged with pink to appear. "Now I summon out Galactic Hero Cyber Blocker (Level 4, Light, Warrior/Effect, 1200/2000) in attack mode." he said as a guy in a silver armor with two large shields on each arm appeared. "Next up I'm throwing down a pair of facedowns and I'll call it a turn."
"Fine then I draw!" declared Jake. "And I start by summoning Insectivor (Level 4, Earth, Beast/Effect, 1600/1400) in attack mode." he said as a strange wolf like creature appeared. "Now with him out I'm allowed to take any spell or trap in my deck and set it on the field." he explained as one of his cards got out of his deck and appeared on the field face down. "Next I play Insectivor's second ability. By sending one insect monster to the grave my monster gains 500 ATK points." he said sliding a card into the open slot just past the counter. "Next up I activate a little spell you might be familiar with. I activate Meteor of Destruction!" he called out as a large meteor appeared above him. "So now I'm hitting you with 1000 points of damage!" he called out as the meteor his Shawn causing him to be thrown back. When he stood he was clutching his right arm.
"Are you okay?" asked Dark Magician Girl as she flew towards Shawn.
"I'm fine." said Shawn. "I activate the trap card Counter Roulette!" he called out as one of the cards he had face down arose. Then a roulette appeared in place of the card. The roulette had a eight plus signs and eight thunder bolts. "Now here's how it works. Whenever I take battle damage this trap activates. If it lands on the thunder bolt then you take the same damage I just took but if it lands on the other sign then my life points go back up by the amount I lost." The roulette then began spinning going faster each second. Then began slowing down until it stopped on a thunder bolt. "That's gonna hurt." he said as what looked like a yellow meteor of destruction which then impacted on Jake launching him back. (LP Shawn 3000, Kara 4000, Jake 3000, Mark 4000)
"You little prick." said Jake. "But now you're in trouble! Insectivor attack his Cyber Blocker with Rampant Rage!" he called ordered causing his monster to start charging with its eyes and claws glowing.
"Dude bad call." said Shawn as Honoka and Nagisa unknowingly got closer. "You see whenever Cyber Blocker's the target of an attack while in attack mode his ATK points become 0 but in exchange whatever his ATK points were go to his DEF points and he changes positions." he explained as the warrior went to one knee. (ATK 0, DEF 3200) Once the warrior did the beast attacked but was thrown back causing a backlash of energy to hit Jake. (Shawn 3000, Kara 4000, Jake 1900, Mark 4000)
"Damn." said Jake. "Then I'll activate Dian Keto the Cure Master to raise my life points by 1000." (Shawn 3000, Kara 4000, Jake 2900, Mark 4000) "Then I'll play a card face down and I'll end my turn."
"Then I draw." said Kara.
"Do you understand what's going on?" asked Nagisa.
"I think so." said Honoka. "I believe the monsters have a value to attack and defense and the monsters have positions for both. They also seem to have abilities."
"Don't try to figure it out. We'll explain it to all of you later." said Shawn.
"How come?" asked Nagisa.
"Because if we got called out for a duel it's likely the others have as well." said Kara. "I start by playing the spell Viral Vortex!" she said. "Now check this out. If I send a level 3 or below monster card from my hand to the graveyard then you get hit with that damage at the start of each of your turns." she explained sliding a card into what was now identified as the card graveyard. "Next up I'm activating the effect of the monster I just sent to the graveyard. You see it was my Pyro Bug (Level 2, Fire, Insect/Effect, 700/400) and while it's in my graveyard I'm allowed to special summon a level 4 or below Fire monster once per turn so the monster I call out is my Wildfire, Madness Flame (Level 4, Fire, Pyro/Effect, 1400/900)." she called out as a monster made of fire with an insane smile appeared in front of her. "Now I summon out Crashmeister (Level 4, Earth, Warrior/Effect, 1800/1200)!" she declared as a monster which looked like a guy whose eyes couldn't stay focused on one point and wore a white armor appeared. Then she turned to Shawn who smiled.
"I activate the trap Jar of Greed which let's me draw a card." said Shawn drawing.
"What are you so happy about?" asked Mark.
"Whenever a duelist draws a card by a card effect then the effect of my Crashmeister activates dealing everyone damage equal to the total of ATK points of the monsters on the field." explained Kara.
"What?" asked both Mark and Jake.
"So that means you lose too." said Mark.
"No really because I'm activate the spell Card Hacker!" called out Kara. "Thanks to this I can send one card in my hand to the graveyard to force activate a spell in the hand of anyone else on the field and I'm choosing my dear cousin." she said turning to Shawn who smiled.
"I activate the spell Reactor Exchange. Thanks to this until the end of this turn any battle damage we would've taken goes to you." said Shawn with a smile as a red sphere appeared around both him and Kara. Then Kara's monster gathered energy from all the other monster and fired it at both teams. However the blasts that went to Shawn and Kara bounced and hit Mark and Jake. (Shawn 3000, Kara 4000, Mark 0, Jake 0) After being hit the two were thrown back and fell unconcious before vanishing.
"What's was that?" asked Nagisa.
"I don't know but we'll have to check in with the others after school." said Shawn looking at the spot where the two stood before. Then they heard people walking towards them so Kara and Shawn took Nagisa's and Honoka's hands respectively and took to the air.
Same morning at Mai's and Saki's places.
Over at Mai's place Lance was on the roof with Illya and the two were having a sparring session. Mai had just woken up and saw her brother at the kitchen.
"Hey Mai." said Kazuya.
"Hey Onii-chan have you seen Lance-san and Illya-san?" asked Mai.
"Yeah. They said something about morning training." said Kazuya as they saw both Illya and Lance entering a little sweaty.
"So how was it?" asked Kazuya.
"It's nice and peaceful." said Lance.
"A little boring for my taste but well enough." said Illya stretching. "So you wanna shower first?"
"Go ahead." said Lance.
"Alright." said Illya heading to the bathroom.
"So you two are close?" asked Kazuya. "You almost seem like brother and sister."
"You could say that." said Lance. "But this is mostly so we can stay in good shape." he said cracking his neck. "She got me good though."
"Where?" asked Kazuya.
"She dislocated my right shoulder and I had to force it back." said Lance.
"Shouldn't you go to the hospital?" asked Mai.
"I've been worse." said Lance.
"So you both practice martial arts?" asked Kazuya.
"Among other things yes." replied Lance.
Over at PanPakaPan
Rin was cooking some breakfast for everyone as a thank you for allowing her and Leon to stay and allowing Dian to stay as well.
"Good Morning." said Leon to Rin.
"Morning." said Rin to both Leon and Dian.
"Good morning." said Saki's parents looking at Leon who had Dian on his shoulder until Dian jumped onto the table and looked around. It was then that Saki's younger sister, Minori, walked in with a smile.
"Hi Dian-chan." said Minori causing Dian to glare at her. This was only noticed by Leon, Rin, and Saki.
"I wouldn't call him like that." said Leon with a nervous smile as Dian's left paw was glowing very lightly.
"Okay." said Minori with a smile. "Then just Dian?"
"Yes. I think he'd prefer that." said Leon as Dian's paw stopped glowing. Right then Rin came out with some omelets and placed them in front of everyone, also including a small one for Dian. After breakfast they left first dropping off Minori. After that Dian came out of Leon's backpack and stood on his shoulder.
"I'm glad we dropped her off finally." said Dian with a sigh.
"Just don't do something bad to her." said Leon knowing regardless of how calm Dian was he could still be angered if treated as a lesser.
"So what exactly can you do?" asked Saki as Flapi decided to appear on her shoulder.
"I am a Jewel Pet." said Dian. "We are able to use magic both on our own and with our partners."
"We along wtih our friends are graduates of the Jewel Land Magic Academy." said Dian.
"Cool." said Saki as they were joined by Mai, Lance, and Illya.
"I'm jealous I couldn't be a student there though." said Illya. "But I guess Berserker would've gotten worried."
"Berserker?" asked Mai.
"Something for another time." said Leon.
"So where are they gonna be going to school?" asked Saki curious.
"Isn't that obvious?" asked Lance pointing to the fact that both Illya and Leon wore the same uniform the four older warriors wore.
"Seriously?!" yelled out Saki in shock.
"You know you didn't need to yell." said Lance.
"But will they be able to?" asked Mai concerned.
"No problem." said Illya.
"That's right. Both of us are more than smart enough to keep up." said Dian.
"After all Leon was one of the best students in the Academy and only lost to Alma near the end of the Jewel Star Grand Prix." said Dian.
"I remember that day." said Rin. "That girl had begun losing control of her own magic from her infusion of the Battest damn near destroying Jewel Land and the entire power of magic from there."
"So what stopped her?" asked Saki really curiously.
"Akari was trapped in there magic formation Alma was in along with Alma's twin brother Yuuma. She made her way and was able to take the Battest from Alma. But her soul was in danger of being destroyed and so Shawn like the jackass he is ran in using rocket punch and ended up saving her by taking hold of Akari."
"So what happened?" asked Mai this time.
"Part of it is in Shawn and part of it remains in Akari." replied Leon. "Both of them carry it and guard it. Each of them has something in them which allows them to not lose control and be taken over by the Battest. Something which would be impossible to take from them."
"What's that?" asked Mai as they were joined by a girl with long blue hair and a girl with short red hair.
"Good morning." said both girls.
"Who are they?" asked the blue haired one.
"I'm Lance also going by the name Cyclone. The earth's origin of wind."
"I'm Illya or Teki. The earth's embodiment of love."
"I'm Rin or Angel. The earth's origin of Light."
"I'm Leon and this is my partner Dian."
"Nice to meet you two." said Dian.
"You just introduce yourselves to anyone." asked Saki.
"They're not entirely human, right?" asked Illya shocking the four along with Flapi and Chopi who had appeared on Mai's shoulder. "Neither are the nine of us."
"She tends to be too blunt in this kind of thing." said Lance. "So what are your names?"
"I'm Kiryu Kaoru." said the blue haired girl.
I'm Kiryu Michiru." said the red head.
"So sisters eh." said Lance.
"Hey I just realized something." said Illya.
"What?" asked Dian.
"Well it's just us and Shawn's not here." said Illya with mischiveous smile.
"You know, you're right." said Lance.
"But wouldn't it be a bad use of power?" asked Leon.
"Doesn't matter." said Rin. "After all we wouldn't wanna be late."
"Very well." said Leon realizing he wasn't going to win.
"Well then let's do this." said Lance stopping along with the others.
"What are you gonna do?" asked Mai.
"Alright since there's four of us and four of them let's each take one of them." said Illya.
"Alright." said Leon as Dian sighed before a grey jewel that hung from his belt began glowing.
"Grilla Grilla Jewel Flash." said both Leon and Dian causing Leon to glow lightly. This changed his clothes to a violet suit with a cloak. This caused the four girls to look at him in shock. Then he extended his hand to Michiru who even though surprised took it. Lance extended his hand to Mai, Rin to Saki, and Illya to Kaoru.
"Here we go." said Illya just before the four took off into the air completely shocking the two Cures and their friends.
"How is it that you can fly?" asked Mai.
"I use magic." replied Leon.
"What about you three?" asked Mai. The three didn't answer. All that happened was that wings extended from their backs. Completely shocking the four.
"You all have wings?" asked Saki in shock.
"Yeah. Why? Don't at least some of you have wings?" asked Lance.
"Only when we need to power up to take out a really hard enemy and even then we're only able to stay in that way for a few minutes after an attack." replied Mai.
"That sucks." said Lance as they arrived on the roof of the school. Once they did Rin, Lance, and Illya retracted their wings while Leon returned to normal.
"Alright are you ready?" Leon told Dian.
"Yes." said Dian.
"What are they talking about?" asked Saki.
"Just watch." said Rin.
"Grilla Grilla Rillitt." said both of them.
"Turn me/Dian into Alex Summers." both of them said causing Dian to start glowing and then become larger until he became as tall as Leon but became a guy with short blond hair and red eyes. He also had the same uniform as the others and had a book bag like Leon's.
"Now put this on." said Leon handing Dian a watch which he put on.
"Alright let's go." said Lance. After they went in they headed to class with Leon and Illya being in the same class as Mai and Saki but Lance and Rin being in the next grade. During class Leon, Dian, and Illya attracted a bit of attention but nothing that caused any problems. Rin and Lance were a little different. While Lance was being a carefree guy who was attracting the attention of the girls Rin was starting to get a rep for being a bit stuck up which Lance tried to keep from happening.
"You know I don't care what others think of me." said Rin as she and Lance got to the roof.
"Yeah but the last thing we want is to attract attention and with that attitude of yours that's exactly what you're gonna do." replied Lance. Not too long after they got there Leon and Illya joined them along with Saki, Mai, Kaoru, and Michiru.
"How come you're eating up here?" asked Saki.
"It feels a lot nicer than being cooped up in a classroom while you eat." said Lance taking out his lunch as did the others. As they ate Lance and Rin were looking somewhat distant.
"Is something wrong?" asked Mai.
"No." replied Lance. "We just rarely get a chance to enjoy days like this since we've got a lot of work at school over there and then we have to investigate things from enemies we faced over several years in the past."
"Not to mention we have to deal with problems like the old Avenger." said Rin as both she and Lance finished their lunches along with Illya. It was then they heard a beeping noise.
"What's that?" asked Saki. Illya, Lance, Rin, and Leon responded by pulling up their sleeves causing a device to appear on their left forearms.
"Sara?" asked Leon.
"Yes it's me. We've got trouble. Something's gone after Shawn and Kara." replied Sara.
"On our way." said Lance.
"No. They're dealing with their own problem and there's one heading right for you and something going towards the others. I called to warn you." said Sara.
"Alright. We'll be ready." said Rin.
"Over and out." said the four.
"So do you know what kind of trouble are we talking about?" asked Saki.
"We'll find out soon enough." said Lance as he, Rin, and Illya transformed.
"Hey Leon can you watch over the two of them?" Rin asked turning towards Kaoru and Michiru.
"Alright then we'll help." said Saki.
"You will but wait until they've focused their attention on us." said Rin. "Don't transform until after we've started fighting."
"I sense it. Whoever or whatever is coming is about to arrive." said Illya. As if on cue there was an explosion at the entrance gate which caught everyone attention. As they looked and the smoke cleared they saw a small group of silver people some of whom caused Cyclone's, Angel's, and Teki's eyes to widen.
"That's not possible." said Cyclone.
"Do you know them?" asked Kaoru.
"They're all fallen warriors from our world." said Cyclone pointing to the first one who looked like a space sheriff from an old space movie, wore strange goggles, and had strange armor. "That's Captain Commando. He was killed almost ten years ago."
"And isn't that Sonson I?" asked Teki looking at a guy who looks like humanoid creature which looked somewhat like a monkey in a strange suit.
"Yeah and there's Jin Saotome." said Angel.
"I think we have a bigger problem." said Cyclone.
"What do you mean?" asked Angel as she noticed Cyclone gulp.
"Look." he said pointing to a humanoid creature that seemed to have whips coming out of it's body.
"Is that Fusion?" asked Mai in shock.
"Doesn't that look like?" asked Illya.
"Lasher." said Cyclone.
"And it looks like Phage's there too." said Angel.
"Then we'd better be ready for anything." said Cyclone just before the three of them jumped and landed in front of the school to the shock of the students.
"Can we do the presentation?" asked Teki.
"Fine." said Cyclone as a green aura formed around Cyclone, a pink one around Teki, and a white one around Angel. "The winds of freedom extending to the sky!" he called out. "The winds eternal! The Falcon Cyclone!"
"The guardian of light with the heart of purity!" called out Angel. "The light which guides onwards into the future! The Tiger Angel!"
"The hearts of all united under a single archer!" called out Teki. "The Guardian of love. The Lovely Swan Tekisei!"
"You know this would probably look a lot better if it were all nine of us." said Cyclone.
"I thought we still looked cool." said Teki.
"Can we talk about this later?" asked Angel. "We kind of need to focus on the Heralds."
"Right." said Cyclone and Teki taking offensive stances.
"Is that them?" asked the "Herald" identified as Sonson.
"Yes it is." said Commando. Then five turned towards the three Elementals all of whom drew their swords and began charging. The three began fighting while trying to stay back to back.
"So what's the plan?" asked Angel.
"Just follow my lead and we'll go from there." said Cyclone as he released a large wind around them causing the Heralds to cover their eyes allowing the three to attack taking them by surprise.
"Captain Fire!" called out Commando firing a blast of energy from his gauntlets.
"Hurricane wind blast!" called out Cyclone as his left arm became a twister which caught the blast and launched it back. This was blocked by Lasher who's hands formed a strange shield but at the cost of him getting thrown back.
"Gotcha." said Angel as both she and Teki focused energy arrows which they fired at Lasher. The arrows caused the shield to dissolve which then caused Lasher to be pierced by the arrows followed by explosions right after. It was then that Commando charged at them before being punched by Cure Bloom and Cure Egret thowing him back.
"Good timing." said Teki.
"So care to share what or who they are?" asked Bloom.
"Later. First we gotta beat them." said Angel as four wings of energy. "Light eternal below all life."
"Tempest storms which call out strife." chanted Cyclone.
"Uniting our heart and protect those lives." chanted Illya as she did some sign language to signal to Bloom and Egret. Bloom was confused while Egret nodded.
"As soon as their attack goes we follow up." explained Egret in a whisper.
"Alright." said Bloom.
"Elemental souls of three. United forever, we battle as one!" called out all three as a their auras formed animals. Behind Teki appeared a pink swan, behind Cyclone a falcon, and behind Angel a white tiger who had wings. Then the aura animals fired out energy of the same color as themselves which caused the remaining Heralds to stop moving which as they were trapped in a strange tornado of pink/white energy.
"O Spirits of the earth." said Bloom causing a golden energy to rise from the ground which went to her.
"O Spirits of the sky." said Egret causing a silver energy to fall from the sky which went to her. "Now together with Pretty Cure."
"Release the power of a miracle." chanted Bloom.
"Pretty Cure..." began the two making a circular motion with their arms. "...Twin Stream Splash!" at that the fluid like energy formed in front of them before the fired it at the Heralds. That energy mixed with what held them to be turned into stone which then crumbled.
"Ok that was weird. Even by what we've been through." said Teki.
"I have to say I agree." said Angel. It was then they noticed many of the students were watching them from the windows. "Sorry for the disturbance." she said before she took both Bloom's and Egret's hands before they all became invisible. Shortly after they were on the roof back in their civilian forms.
"How did we become invisible." asked Saki still shocked.
"I'm the Elemental of Light, remember?" asked Rin. "I can focus it and manipulated. All I did was bend it a little."
"In any case we should inform Sara." said Leon.
"Right." said Lance.
The Same Morning over at Komachi's home
To not cause trouble Kimiko and Justin had woken up early and gotten ready to make sure they didn't bother Komachi and her family. Komachi walked to the living room from her room after having changed and found Justin and Kimiko looking through their own decks of cards which they placing on the coffee table.
"What are they?" Komachi.
"Our Duel Monster decks." said Justin.
"We go through our decks every once in a while because it let's us feel closer." said Kimiko with a smile.
"Closer to your cards?" asked Komachi.
"All thirteen of us are duelists and as such our souls are reflected in how we duel." said Justin.
"That sounds pretty cool." said Modoka, Komachi's older sister.
"Hey Justin what's that?" asked Komachi pointing to a card that looked like a weird screw that had a chain around in.
"It's called Sinister Sprocket." replied Justin. "It was a gift from a good friend."
"Breakfast is ready." they hard Komachi's mom say.
"Ok mother." said Komachi as Justin and Kim put their cards back in the boxes they carry on their belts.
At the same time at Karen's house
"How do you feel?" Monica asked Shiro who was a balcony.
"I'm just amazed that it's her and her butler in this huge house." said Shiro. "I don't think Tohsaka's place is this big."
"I understand what you mean. Akari was having a hard time going to sleep because she's not used to staying in such a big place. Even when her and her friends have sleep overs at Shawn's place." said Monica with a smile.
"So won't this cause problems for your career?" asked Shiro.
"Not really. I'm on a temporary leave of absence." replied Monica.
"You work?" asked Karen who finally found them.
"Yes. I'm starting as an actress." replied Monica.
"You don't need to be so modest Onee-chan." said Akari as she came in after Karen.
"That's right. She's an idol." said Ruby who was on Akari's left shoulder.
"An idol-labu." said Labra from Akari's right shoulder.
"Well I've still got a ways to go before I reach my goal." said Monica.
"Then would it be possible for you to give advice to someone who is also trying to become an idol?" asked Karen.
"I suppose." said Monica. "But I'm not sure how I could really help."
"You see Urara is currently working to become a an idol." said Karen.
"I suppose I could help her a bit but from when we met I don't think she needs help." replied Monica.
"I've gotta agree." said Shiro. "She seemed to be able to handle herself."
After breakfast Karen offered to take three but declined deciding to walk. After dropping off Akari Lance and Monica used their powers to get to school. Once they arrived they went to the entrance gate. Shortly after a limo arrived which dropped off Karen and a bus stopped which let out several students including Nozomi, Rin, Komachi, Kimiko, and Justin. Once they got together the six Pretty Cure decided to show the four newcomers around.
"Nice campus." said Monica.
"Yes it is." agreed Shiro.'
"It's not so bad." said Rin with a smirk.
"So would there be any clubs you might be interesting?" asked Komachi.
"Not really." said Justin. "How about you three?"
"I'm fine." said Rin.
"Same here." said Monica.
"Never really had an interest in that kind of thing since my condition makes it unfair for me to join such things." said Kimiko.
"Condition?" asked Nozomi.
"It's a talk for another time." said Kimiko as she noticed Monica looking a little cautious. "Hey you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine." said Monica with a sly smile which Kimiko knew all to well which is why she let out a sigh.
"Is something wrong?" asked Urara.
"Wait for it." said Kimiko.
"Wait for what?" asked Rin. Right then they heard someone trip and fall behind them. The group turned and saw a girl who had short brown hair and wore glasses along with a camera.
"Masuko-san?" asked Komachi.
"Yeah but it was like a rock came out of nowhere." replied Masuko as she looked behind her and saw nothing.
"So mind explaining why you started following us?" asked Monica.
"You know?" asked Masuko.
"No one can hide from her." said Justin. "You might as well have been playing a bass guitar."
"In any case I don't appreciate being followed. Got it?" asked Monica with a stern look.
"Y-yes. I'm sorry." said Masuko.
"Good. Now did you need something." said Monica with a sweet smile causing the Pretty Cure to sweatdrop.
"Is she always like that?" whispered Rin.
"You mean the passive aggressive thing? Only with reporters." replied Justin. "With her job she doesn't trust reporters overall since they tend to printout lies from time to time. Which usually ends badly."
"Badly how?" whispered Urara.
"You remember how Shawn mentioned S.H.I.E.L.D.?" asked Justin. The two nodded. "Well they've got a way bigger influence around the world so they can dig things up."
"I'd heard rumors about you and I wanted to ask for an interview." said Masuko feeling nervous.
"Then it'll be a pleasure but please give us a few days to get used to the school first." said Monica.
"Sure. Thank you." said Masuko before leaving. Right then a small bird landed on Justin's head.
"Wow." said Komachi. "I've never seen a bird just land on someone before."
"What's up?" asked Justin. The bird chirped and the Elementals nodded.
"So what's the matter with that?" asked Justin. The bird chirped again. "Yeah but he won't learn if we interfere." The chirped but then looked confused.
"Oh there are we're just split to for the sake of cover." said Monica.
"You can talk to animals?" asked Nozomi surprised.
"Well yeah. We've existed for as long as the earth itself so animals know about us." replied Justin.
"We can also speak just about any of the ancient languages and the languages of animals." added Kimiko with a shrug.
"So what's he saying?" asked Nozomi.
"She's asking for help because her brother's being stupid and teasing some cat or something." replied Justin. "Anyway we can't do anything directly but if you'd like I can do something to help you." The bird and the Pretty Cure looked confused but the the bird nodded. "Alright you're gonna feel a little weird at first so bare with it." he said placing his palm in front of his head allowing the bird to jump onto it. "Ready?" The bird nodded. "Alright." Then he placed his other hand on top of the bird causing his palms to cause a light black and purple glow. After a few seconds the glow stopped. "How do you feel?" The bird chirped happily and jumped on his shoulder.
"What did you do to her?" asked Kurumi.
"We have the ability to infuse animals with a single ability related to our element." replied Kimiko as the bird flew away. "So what'd you give her?"
"The ability to look into someone or something's mind and make them see their greatest fear." shrugged Justin.
"Couldn't you have done anything nicer?" asked Nozomi.
"Two things you need to learn." said Justin. "One. Light and Darkness are not akin to good and evil. Light can be evil just as Dark can be good. And second I originated as the polar opposite from Angel as such what our powers do is actually because of humans. They focused darkness to negativity and that's what I can do."
"I see." said Karen.
"In any case isn't class about to start?" asked Shiro.
"Good point." said Monica. After that Karen and Komachi led Justin, Nozomi and Rin led Shiro and Kimiko, and Urara led Monica. Once they each arrived in class they introduced themselves in their classes which followed by the teachers asking how familiar they were with certain thing most of which they were all too familiar with. Some in personal experience and some in slightly different experiences. All in all they surprised their hostesses with how much they knew. At lunch time the four new arrivals seemingly vanished. The six Pretty Cure went to try to find them but then saw the bird from that morning land on Urara's head.
"Hey isn't that the same bird from before?" asked Rin. The bird jumped on Urara's shoulder. Then it flew pointing towards the roof. Half of them were confused and the other half nodded. The bird then flew towards the building with the six Cures following until they got to the roof. There they found the four new students almost done with thier food.
"Hey. What took you?" asked Justin.
"How you came up here to eat?" asked Nozomi.
"It's peaceful and there's a nice view." replied Kimiko looking to the side. "Why don't you join us?"
"Okay." said Nozomi sitting down followed by her friends. "So what's your world like?"
"Probably not much different from yours." replied Justin. "Well except that our world has a lot of heroes around the world and plenty of villains to go around."
"Really?" asked Nozomi surprised.
"So are all of you in one big group like us?" asked Rin.
"No. You see back in our world there's a lot of...political issues. Especially in regards to mutants." replied Kimiko.
"Mutants?" asked Komachi.
"That's right. You see there are people who are born with powers. They get them through a genetic mutation. The Mutant X Gene." explained Justin. "Unfortunetely there's people who are afraid of mutants and want them gone. But just as there's people who are afraid of them there's people who want to live in piece with them. Including Professor Xavier."
"Wow. So even with so many heroes there's a lot a trouble in your world, isn't there?" asked Karen.
"Yeah. One of the few things is that makes our world good is that whenever there's a threat to our planet there's some bad guys who are willing to team up with good guys to stop whatever the threat may be." said Shiro.
"Like what?" asked Urara.
"Well there was the thing with..." began Monica just before they heard a beeping noise.
"What's that?" asked Karen.
"Sorry that's us." said Monica as the four pulled up their left sleeves and devices appeared on them. "Yeah?" she asked as the devices opened.
"Hey. It's Sara. Just calling to warn you. All the others are in combat right now."
"Alright we're on out way." said Shiro.
"No. There's something heading towards you as well so be ready and be careful. So far it looks like they're Heralds." explained Sara.
"That's not possible. Shouldn't they have all disappeared with Galactus?" asked Monica.
"We can discuss this later. For now just be ready for battle."
"What about Akari. Will she be okay?" asked Monica.
"She'll be fine. It seems they're looking for you so they ignored Taylor and are also ignoring Akari." replied Sara. "In any case be ready."
"Understood." said Shiro as all four closed the devices.
"So anyone got a plan?" asked Justin.
"Do we ever?" asked Kimiko. "All we can do is make a stand and kick some ass."
"Subtle as always." said Shiro as the four transformed.
"Hang on." said Nozomi. "Let us help."
"That's fine but not until you all finish eating. Last thing we need is for your hunger to become a nuisance mid battle." said Shadow. "So you got anything Terra?"
"Yeah. Something coming and it looks like..." she began just before they saw something go over the school gate and slam into a tree. Then they saw a silver woman in pirate clothes who jumped over the wall.
"You're all idiots." said the woman.
"I don't recognize any of the other ones but isn't that Ruby Heart?" asked Electrix.
"Yeah it is." said Shadow.
"This isn't good." said Terra.
"Who is she?" asked Nozomi as she finished her lunch.
"She's a pirate who's considered a great hero and happens to be one of the most dangerous fighters in our world." said Shadow. "In any let's go." he said.
"Right." nodded the other Elementals as they jumped off roof and landed in front of the Heralds.
"Oh? I guess you're supposed to be the ones we're after." said the Herald Ruby.
"Maybe we are." said Shadow.
"What are you idiots waiting for. Get them!" yelled Ruby.
"Right." said the other four. They were revealed to be a mantis man, a man who seemed to have been infused with some kind of beetle, and a woman who looked to have been mutated or combined with some spider.
"Uh is it just me or do those look like some seriously fucked up kaijin that were rejected by Foundation X." asked Justin.
"I was just thinking that." said Monica.
"Seriously though did they shove them into a microwave with bugs or something?" asked Electrix.
"Oh man." said Titan trying not to laugh.
"What are you laughing at?!" yelled out the mantis.
"Oh I don't know." said Electrix. "How about this?" she asked as suddenly lightning hit the three of them.
"What's going on?" asked the mantis.
Back on the roof the others had finished and were watching.
"So you think we should help them?" asked Rin.
"I don't think they'll need it." said Urara as they saw the ground seemingly swallow the three up to their waists. Then the got launched up allowing a dark mist to form on the ground. At that Titan jumped and made his hand into a large hammer and knocked the three straight into the mist which then became a dark sphere. This was followed by a small explosion which left the three on the floor.
"Hey get up." said Ruby. Just then another mist appeared and the three disappeared.
"So what do you think?" asked Electrix turning to Terra.
"I think this is gonna be rough if she's anywhere near as strong as our Ruby." said Terra.
"Those idiots." said Ruby. "Well we got what we needed." she said looking up. "Understood." she said before she vanished.
"So what do we do?" asked Terra.
"Hm." Shadow pulled up his forearm. "Hey Sara you pick up anything strange?"
"Nothing yet but I'll keep searching."
"Alright we'll head over after school."
"Understood."
It was then they noticed Masuko heading towards so Shadow made a viel of darkness whcih allowed them to escape without her seeing them. Once they got back on the roof they let out a sigh.
"What in the hell is going on?" Justin asked himself.
