Chapter 4 First Day Trouble part 2: Link Revelation
"Shawn. Illya come in." said Sara as she watched on the monitors all of the others.
"Shawn here."
"Illya here."
"There's some more that we should try to recruit so I'm transmitting their coordinates." said Sara as she typed.
"Alright." both said.
With Shawn and the others.
"Well you heard her. I'll meet you back at the base." said Shawn transforming. Then he checked the coordinates and smirked.
"Just do me a favor and don't leave one long burn mark." said Kara.
"Can't make any promises." said Inferno as they noticed his body started moving strange way. Suddenly he took off a lot faster than any of the Pretty Cure had ever seen.
"How can he move that fast?" asked Honoka.
"Well outside of being able to use fire he can manipulate particle speed thus he can move really fast." replied Kara.
"Amazing." said Hikari.
"Not really. El and Ange can move just as fast." said Kara. "In any case let's go."
Over with Illya
"Alright I'll be heading there and I'll meet you back at the base." said Illya looking around.
"Alright. See ya then." said Lance. Illya smiled then jumped very high and they saw her take off in a sonic boom.
"How did she…?" began Mai.
"I don't know." replied Lance. "My guess has always been that because she affects people's emotions she can use them as a guide or something."
In a place known as Kanon Town
Four girls were walking together. The first had her hair looking loose but tied with two tails at the back. The second had dirty blond hair and had it tied with a single small tail. The third was a kid with short orangeish hair and had glasses which had pink frames. The last was a girl who had long purple hair.
"So are you gonna study Hibiki?" the blond asked the girl with double tied hair.
"I don't know." replied the now identified as Hibiki.
"If you don't you'll end up failing and at this point you have to work harder than before replied the youngest of the group.
"Ako-hime's right." said the purple haired girl.
"You see? Even Ellen agrees with me." said the blonde.
"Alright fine. I'll study." said Hibiki. "You don't have to get mad Kanade."
"Huh?" asked Ellen.
"What's wrong?" asked Kanade.
"Who's that?" asked Ellen. The other three turned and saw a with spiked black hair, eyes of two different colors, and who was holding what looked like a silverish white flash drive of some kind. Then he turned and looked at the four girls.
"Hello." he said politely. "My name's Shawn Garrett. But I am also referred to as Inferno."
"Hi. I'm..." began Hibiki.
"Hojo Hibiki alias Cure Melody. Minamino Kanade alias Cure Rhythm. Shirabe Ako Alias Cure Muse. Kurokawa Ellen alias Cure Beat. Suite Pretty Cure." said Shawn before shaking his head causing his hair to fall. "I don't get how the hell Yusei keeps his hair like that."
"How do you know about that?" asked Ellen in shock.
"Are you a new enemy?" asked Ako.
"No he's not." they heard a voice causing the girls to look around. Then they saw a white cat with pink markings land on Shawn's head.
"Hummy?" asked the four Cures.
"So that's your name." said Shawn. "In any case she's right. I'm here seeking to recruit you for a battle."
"Recruit?" asked Hibiki.
"That's correct." said Shawn before turning suddenly. "Damn. I was afraid they'd do this."
"So you sensed me." asked a strange creature that seemed to have been formed from a French horn.
"Is that a Negatone?" asked Hibiki.
"No. It's a Vaglass." replied Shawn. "You four get out of here and take these." he said tossing each girl a watch. "I'll take care of that thing." he said as a red aura surrounded his body. Then his clothes became completely red as did his hair. This also caused two pistols to appear at his lower back, a sword on his left side, and a few circuit like marks to appear at his neck and hands. "Huh that's new. In any case you four get out." he said drawing his sword. "Let's go Leon." This caused his sword to glow lightly before they heard a roar. He then ran towards the creature who began blasting with a sound blast. Shawn, now Inferno, countered with a sonic shriek which blew it back. "Gokai Phoenix Slash!" he called out as the blade of his weapon began glowing. Then he slashed at the monster several times before slashing at it upwards throwing it up. "Lu let's take em out."
"Understood." said a voice they all heard. Then they saw two strange that looked like wing bones made of metal come out of his back surprising the four. Then he began spinning causing several red spikes to appear in the air before he went passed it. That caused the spikes to go through it as it fell.
"What are you?" asked the monster.
"I am your downfall." said Inferno before snapping his fingers with his left at his right and his right above his head. "Shutdown complete!" he said out snapping his fingers causing the spikes to explode destroying the monster.
"That was amazing." said Kanade.
"Why haven't you left?" asked Inferno.
"What?"
"The Vaglass was just a signal array. The real enemy will show up soon." said Inferno. "Press the screen."
"If there's something threatening our town then we'll fight." said Hibiki.
"Well hello there Inferno." said a man who appeared wearing English 18th century clothing.
"Daren." said Inferno with a scowl.
"That's right and I brought a friend too. You might know him." he said as a vortex opened up in front of the five. From it stepped out a creature with unbelievably large muscles.
"Uh Sara. We're gonna be a little late." said Inferno.
Over in another town
"So what should we do today?" a girl with dark pinkish hair that was tied on the sides.
"We could go to an amusement park." suggested a girl with short red hair.
"Or to the park." said a girl who had blond hair that was kept in place with a headband on the top.
"I don't know." said a girl with long green hair that was tied in a ponytail. "I still have to get back to my siblings."
"It couldn't hurt though." said a girl with bluish violet hair.
"Hey anyone hear something?" asked the red head.
"Like what?" asked the pink haired girl. It was then they looked up and saw something moving very fast.
"What's that?" asked the blond. Then they saw whatever it was turn towards them. "Eh?! Why did it turn towards us?!" They were about to run but didn't have enough time and there was a crash in front of them.
"What's that?" asked the green haired girl as the five held out small round pink objects. They were surprised when a girl walked out patting her clothes.
"I still have to work on those landing." said the girl who had long silver hair, red eyes, and wore a light purple dress.
"Who are you?" asked the pink haired girl.
"Illyasviel von Einzbern." replied the girl. "It's a pleasure to meet you Hoshizora Miyuki, Hino Akane, Kise Yayoi, Midorikawa Nao, and Aoki Reika." with a smile. "Or should I call you Cure Happy, Cure Sunny, Cure Peace, Cure March, and Cure Beauty."
"How did you know...?" asked Miyuki.
"All in good time." replied Illya. "Look there's something you need to know but it'll be explained if you come with me." she said pulling up her sleeve. "Transport." she said causing a small data cone to shoot out five watches which landed in the hands of four of the five girls. The last one hit Miyuki on the top of the head and then in her hands.
"What are these?" asked Akane suspiciously. However then Illya turned with widened eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Go now. Hit the screen." said Illya.
"Sorry but I can't let that happen." said a creature that looks like a mutated film projector.
"Get out of here." said Illya as pink rings formed at her hands and feet which then altered her clothes turning them pink along with her hair and giving her similar weapon's to Inferno's with the exception of a pair of chains around her wrists. "Wow. Every world brings new surprises."
"You won't stop me." said the film projector.
"We'll see." said Teki drawing her sword. The monster then shot some light at Teki which then created a double of her in front of her surprising the others. "That's pathetic."
"What do you mean?" asked the monster. "My copies are always stronger than the original!" it said as the copy tried to attack Teki. However suddenly it stopped inches from striking her and then went next to her. "What happened?"
"You can copy what can be seen but not what is inside someone." replied Teki. "So you couldn't copy my magic circuits or my command seals." he explained with a smile as both the original and the copy drew their swords and attacked together slashing at the monster multiple times. "Heart break slash." she said as the blades of both girls began glowing with increasing intensity. "Ready...? GO!" she yelled out as the two ran and slashed the monster multiple times before slashing a large pink X onto its chest destroying it.
"Sugoi." said Akane.
"It's not over yet." said Teki looking at her double who nodded. The two then held hands and the double became energy that was absorbed into Teki. "Thanks."
"Looks like even you're stronger than you look." said a voice.
"Shawn-nii-chan says anyone who judges an adversary by anything other than skill is just asking for death." said Teki.
"True enough but now try fighting this!" called out the voice with an insane laugh as a vortex formed in front of them and from stepped out something that seemed to be made of stone.
"It's clobberin' time!" it said.
"Oh great." said Teki pulling up her sleeve. "Hey Sara this is gonna take a bit longer than I thought."
With Sara
"This isn't good." said Sara to herself.
"What do we do?" asked Saphi.
"I don't know. They're too far away for any of the others to run there and they'd have to stop here to teleport." said Sara as the Cures who had been recruited and the Elementals arrived along with the Magic users.
"Hey what's going on?" asked Justin.
"Big problem." said Sara hitting some keys causing a window to open in front of them that showed Inferno on one and Teki on the other along with the enemies they were about to face.
"Are those Heralds?" asked Lance.
"Not only that." said Kara. "Those look like the Hulk and the Thing."
"Sara can you send us there?" asked Shiro.
"I'm afraid not. Shawn was going to install the QX5 module to allow for instant transport today."
"I see." said Kara.
"Couldn't you install it?" asked Monica.
"Impossible." replied Kara. "He designed it and unless I have the blueprints I can't do anything."
"Then we just need to find them right?" asked Shiro.
"I know where they are." said Kara.
"Then get them." said Lance.
"They're in his mind." replied Kara. "To ensure no one can use this creations for evil he only designs these things in his mind."
"So we can't do anything?" asked Shiro.
"Not for another ten to fifteen minutes." said Kara.
"There's gotta be something." said Nagisa. Honoka then put a hand on her friend's shoulder
"For now we wait." said Honoka firmly.
Over in Kanon
"Alright you've got two choices." said Inferno. "Transform and fight or leave. I'm not gonna keep telling you to leave." At that the four pulled out white heart shaped devices.
"Then we'll fight." said Hibiki. "Ready?"
"Ready." said Kanade, Ako, and Ellen.
"Pretty Cure. Modulation!"
"Strumming the wild tune!" called out Hibiki who now had long pink hair tied in two long pigtails and wore pink shoes and thigh high socks along with a pink skirt that resembled a tutu, a sleeveless top that showed her midriff, wristbands that covered most of her forearms, a bow on the neck, and a ribbon on her hair. "Cure Melody!"
"Strumming the graceful tune!" called out Kanade who now had long bright yellow hair with a white ribbon and wore knee high white boots with pink outlines, a dancer skirt, a top with puffy shoulders, wristbands like Melody's but with pink ribbons and hearts on the back of her hand, and a bow on her chest. "Cure Rhythm!"
"Strumming the tune of the soul!" called out Ellen who now had lighter colored hair that was tied on a side pony tail and wore long blue boots, a similar skirt to those of Melody and Rhythm, a top that resembled Rhythm's but had a light color in the middle than on the outer parts, and blue wristbands that only had hearts on the back of the hands. "Cure Beat!"
"Strumming the tune of the goddess!" called out Ako who now had much longer hair and magenta eyes and wore knee high yellow boots, a puffy yellow skirt, a long sleeve yellow with covered shoulders, two ribbons on her hair, and an ornament on her forehead. "Cure Muse!"
"Resonate! Our musical suite!" called out all four. "Suite Pretty Cure!"
"I hate to be rude but that was a little long don't you think?" asked Inferno holding a large soda.
"Where did you get that?" asked Cure Muse.
"Over there." said Inferno pointing to a convenience store at the end of the street. Which was around forty meters away and hard to see. "I hope you're stronger than you look."
"You'd be surprised." said Melody.
"Hulk SMASH!" yelled out the large Herald punching the ground causing a shockwave on the ground from which Inferno jumped but knocked down the Cures.
"Power pummel!" yelled out Inferno as his fists began glowing causing small explosions upon impact. The Herald tried to punch him but Inferno dodged. When he turned Melody and Rhythm took the change and started attacking. However when they punched him they found their attacks did nothing.
"This can't be." said Hibiki.
"Hulk smash puny girls!" yelled out the Herald. Just as he was about to Inferno flew and grabbed both of them.
"You two okay?" he asked.
"Yeah but how can anything be that strong? Our attacks don't do anything" said Melody.
"Of course they don't. Only monsters can come close to the strength to fight the Hulk and even then it's tough." said Inferno as the white part of his eyes became black. Then a strange armor appeared on his hands, feet, and back. "Looks like I'm gonna have to do the one thing I try not to." he said before an aura formed around his body.
With Teki
"This isn't good." she said.
"You got that right toots." said the Herald Thing.
"Let's go." said Miyuki.
"Right." said the other four.
"Ready?" called out their devices.
"Pretty Cure! Smile Charge!" called out all five.
"Go!" it said. "Go Go!" the devices said as powder puffs shot out.
"Let's go Happy!"
"Let's go Sunny!"
"Let's go Peace!
"Let's go March!"
"Let's go Beauty!"
At that all five began glowing. After the glow vanished they all stood together.
"Twinkling and shining. The light of the future!" said Miyuki who now had long pink hair tied in two pig tail that were waist high and wore pink boots, a frilly skirt that was attached to the top which was light pink in the center with dark pink on the outside, white wristbands that had pink a pink ribbon on her chest, and a pink tiara with wings on the sides. "Cure Happy!"
"The brilliant sun. Hot blooded power!" called out Akane who wore an outfit similar to Happy but in orange with a less frilly skirt and had orange hair that was tied in a bun on the upper part of her head, and her eyes became brighter. "Cure Sunny!"
"Sparkling and glittering. Paper, Scissors, Rock!" called out Yayoi who now had brighter hair with a high pony tail that was spread around and wore a similar outfit but in yellow that had shorter boots, a back part the extended a little passed her skirt that looked like a flowery dolphin tail, and puffy shoulder parts. "Cure Peace!"
"Intense courage! A straight up bout!" exclaimed Nao who now had long bright green hair in a ponytail with long bangs and wore similar clothes but in green and included a lot of the stuff on Peace's outfit. "Cure March!"
"The snow, falling and gathering." said Reika who now had light blue hair that was tied with two long bangs at her sides and wore similar clothes but with more resemblance to Happy's except that her skirt wasn't as frilly and that the bow on her chest was a little loose. "Cure Beauty!"
"The five lights that guide us to the future!" declared all five. "Sparkle! Smile Pretty Cure!"
"Takes a little long, don't you think?" asked Teki.
"It don't matter. I'll crush you all!" said the Herald Thing charging to the girls forcing them to jump.
"Just try it!" yelled out Teki pulling out her sword as her wings expanded. "Rapid Storm!" she called out firing several blasts from the tip of her blade which didn't actually do anything. At that Cure Sunny and Cure March charged and tried to punch him. Unfortunately his body was a lot harder than they thought and their hands hurt. Then he punched them both throwing them back.
"Are you okay?" asked Cure Happy.
"Yeah but that thing's seriously hard." said Cure March massaging her hand.
"No kidding." said Cure Sunny doing the same.
"What can we do?" asked Cure Peace.
"We're probably gonna have to blast it." said Cure Sunny as the pouches they each now wore began glowing.
"Don't." said Teki stepping in front of them.
"Why?" asked Cure March.
"He's invulnerable to both energy and magic based attacks." said Teki. "Damn. If I'd known this was gonna happen I would've brought my system but I guess we're gonna have to settle with some weapons. Are any of you any good with staffs, swords, or firearms?"
"No." replied all five girls.
"Then I guess there's no choice." said Teki as she her device appeared.
With Inferno
"Damn. My energy's too low to do anything major. Guess there's no choice." said Inferno as his own device appeared on his forearm.
*Split screen*
Inferno and Teki held up their devices.
"Ignite the nova towards the future!" the two called out as their devices began glowing.
At that their devices began expanding the glow onto their owners' bodies.
"Boost up Gold!" called out both. At that their clothes became golden and they the out edges of their clothes became sharp. Teki's hair was tied back and Inferno had a ring on his head. Inferno's armor also became golden.
At base
"Sugoi." said Saki.
"Not good." said Kara.
"Why?" asked Honoka.
"If they're using those forms now of all times then they're getting desperate." said Kara.
"Isn't that form strong?" asked Nagisa.
"Normally yes but given the amount of energy they had left it'll only put them at their normal level." explained Justin.
"And odds are that's not gonna be enough." said Lance.
With Inferno
"Now let's do this!" he yelled out charging.
With Teki
"Heart Break Rush!" she called out running towards the Herald Thing. Then with her right hand glowing she hit him knocking him into the air. Then she punched him further up before the grabbed him and throwing him downwards. She followed up by flying down and landing in front of the Smile Pretty Cure.
With Inferno
Inferno had been exchanging punches with the Herald Hulk which was causing Inferno to take most of the damage. However he kept trying to push him back. This was until the Herald Hulk punched him back causing him to crash through a tree.
"Now while it's distracted!" said Melody.
"Come out, Tone Ring!" called out Melody, Rhythm, and Beat.
"Ti note's Shining Melody!" called out Muse.
"Pretty Cure Music Rondo!" called out both Melody and Rhythm throwing each an orange and a yellow energy ring which caught the Herald Hulk.
"Pretty Cure Heartful Beat Rock!" called out Beat launching a green ring to the Herald Hulk which also caught him.
"Pretty Cure Sparkling Shower!" called out Cure Muse as several golden bubbles shot towards him.
"3/4 time! 1, 2, 3! Finale!" yelled out all four causing the energy to fuse into a blue sphere which then exploded.
"Alright we did it." said Melody. However right then from the dust the Herald Hulk charged at the four ready to punch all four with one hit. However just before he did someone got in front and was launched back along with the four heroines. The four got up and went towards Inferno who was laying on his chest.
"Are you okay?" asked Beat.
"I've been better." said Inferno as he forced himself up. Unfortunately he was in a lot of pain and ended up spitting up blood but still forced himself to stand.
"You need to relax." said Melody.
"Hulk crush puny fire boy."
"Then bring it." said Inferno. "You four get out of here."
"No way. We can't leave you here in this condition." said Muse.
"Just go. Don't worry about me. I've been dead before." said Inferno clutching his left arm.
"We're not leaving you." said Melody.
"She's right. We may not be the same kind of hero but there's no way we'd just abandon you." said Rhythm.
"We stand together." said Beat.
"That's why we've gotten as far as we have and that's why we will always fight on." said Muse.
"Spoken like a true pirate." said Inferno with a smile.
With Teki
"All together now." said Teki.
"Pretty Cure! Happy Shower!" called out Cure Happy making a heart with her hand that fired a pink blast of energy.
"Pretty Cure! Sunny Fire!" called out Cure Sunny as she spiked a fireball that followed the pink blast.
"Pretty Cure! Peace Thunder!" called out Peach as she fire lightning straight into the other two blasts.
"Pretty Cure! March Shoot!" called out Cure March kicking a glowing ball of wind.
"Pretty Cure! Beauty Blizzard!" called out Cure Beauty launching a blast of snow.
"Lover's Eternal Scorcher!" called out Teki firing a large pink blast from both hands. The six blasts impacted on the Herald Thing before he hit the floor. When the smoke cleared they saw the Herald started walking towards them. Unfortunately all six had used too much energy and fell to their knees. "Any of you have any power left?"
"We're all out of energy." said Sunny.
"Then get out of here." said Teki. "I'll hold him off as long as I can." she said as the thing started walking towards them.
"But what'll happen to you?" asked Cure Happy.
"For now that doesn't matter. Just get out of here." said Teki running towards the Herald. 'I wish Berserker was here.' she thought as she dodged punch after punch until he headbutted her knocking her back. After he punched her back causing her to crash into the Smile Pretty Cure. "What are you doing? I told you to run."
"We can't do that." said Happy.
"That's right. We've been in tough spots before and we never gave up." said March.
"Nor did we abandon a friend in trouble." said Beauty.
"And as far as we're concerned you came to help us and that makes you a friend just the same." said Sunny.
"No matter what we fight to help our friends." said Peace. Teki smiled.
"I guess as Shawn always says: If you're gonna go down best to go down swinging." said Teki standing up. "Let's do this."
Right then Inferno and Teki began glowing in red and pink respectively.
"What's going on?" asked Cure Melody and Cure Happy. At that the two's bodies began glowing with several strange symbols which then flew around.
With Inferno
The symbols flew around and then forms what looked like cacoons around Melody, Rhythm, Muse, and Beat before another formed around Inferno.
With Teki
Teki's body began glowing and shortly five pink lines extended causing the Smile Pretty Cure to start glowing as well.
At the base
"What's going on?" asked Taylor.
"I don't know." said Sara typing rapidly. "But their vitals are going off charts. Same with their energy levels." she said as there was a power surge on the computer forcing Sara and Saphi back.
With Inferno
*Transformation Sequence*
"The phoenix revived, the soul to give hope." said Inferno.
"United we fight, eternal we stand." said the four Cures.
*The five stood with Inferno in the middle and each of the four standing at a corner from him. Then their Cure Modules became surrounded by fire which vanished revealing the modules now were red and gold with what looked like wings on the backs of them. This caused red feathered wings to extend from the backs of all four Cures. The wings then embraced each one and their clothes began glowing as did everything else that was part of their Cure uniforms. Then phoenix shaped marks appeared on their backs as did one on Melody's right shoulder, Rhythm's left arm, Muse's right forearm, and Beat's left leg. After each glow became feathered before they dissipated revealing their uniforms were now red and whatever their original colors were with feathered edges. Then rings of fire formed at their wrists, ankles, and waists which formed new belts, wrist bands, and anklets. Then the white parts of their eyes became red, the back parts of their hands gain two markings (A feather and a flame), and a they all gained what looked like metallic gauntlets which were very thin.
Inferno's clothes became pure fire which wound up becoming more metallic looking, his shoes gained what looked like small lights at the back, this vest became what looked like a trench coat, and a visor forms in front of his eyes. His hair then gained golden streaks at the sides and his gloves and shoes became metallic as well.
*End Sequence*
After that the five stood looking at the large Herald.
"Hey what happened?" asked Melody as the four looked at their new clothes.
"And what is this?" asked Muse.
"I don't know but the power feels amazing." said Beat.
With Teki
*Transformation sequence*
"With the swan the guides human heart to love!" called out Teki.
"Lover's eternal, we shall unite and protect!"called out the five Pretty Cure.
Their Smile Pacts then began glowing and all got inverted color schemes with the pink parts changing to match their original colors. After on their backs appeared what looked like a light pink swan with wing marks appearing on Happy's neck, Sunny's left forearm, Peace's right hand, March's left hand, and the right side of Beauty's neck. It was then the clothes of all five began glowing as did their hair. Then the light pink wings of energy extended from their backs which shattered the energy on their clothes revealing their uniforms looking similar but they all now had bracelets and anklets which changed their shoes and gave them gloves with studed knuckles. Then they all gained ribbons in their hair and earings which were glowing which caused the lights on their clothes to shatter revealing their clothes had become a whitish pink on the main part with their edges matching their original colors. Each of the five now had bands on their right arms, the white part of their eyes became pink, and they had badges of some kind on their left shoulders which had a heart with different symbols for each one.
Teki's own clothes gained an outer layer that looks like a pink trench coat, studded bracelets, metallic gloves and shoes that became boots, and a pink visor over her eyes. Her hair also became darker, her nails were painted pink, and on her head were what looked like pink bat like wings.
*End sequence*
"Are you all okay?" asked Teki.
"Yeah but what happened?" asked Cure March.
"Looks like a power up." said Teki looking at her own clothes before turning to the five. "Everyone ready for the test?"
"Let's do it." said Cure Happy.
In the base
Everyone stood there completely in shock.
"What happened?" asked Justin.
"To be completely honest with you I have no idea." said Sara. "I've never seen such a power surge. Have you?" she asked turning to the Elementals.
"No. This has never happened to any of us before in any of our past lives." said Kara.
With Inferno
"Get ready." said Inferno as his new trench coat seperated into four wings. Then he stood ready to charge. "Ready?" At that the four girls stood in similar positions. "Go!" he called out signalling all four to charge along with him. However what surprised them was that they went so fast when they hit the Herald to them it was only a split second after that he was thrown back. Then all five gained a white aura. "Alright we're heading up so just follow me." he said before he took off flying toward the Herald. The four musical Cures suddenly had red wings extending from their backs and followed Inferno as he hit the Herald and then flew straight up with him. The five flew going after every second.
"Hey isn't this dangerous?" asked Rhythm. "If we keep going up we're not gonna be able to breath." However to her surprise the five had cleared the atmosphere and were now floating off planet.
"Hey wait a minute?! How are able to breath?!" asked Melody.
"Cliff notes would be that you've been infused with Cosmic Energy and because it comes from space if it's in you directly then this kind of thing isn't a problem." said Inferno who pushed the Herald away. Then the five began glowing.
Back with Teki
"Alright let's go." said Teki as her coat split into four wings. Then her eyes began glowing pink as did the eyes of the five other girls. Then all six charged, however the Herald tried punching them which forced the six to dodge. Then Peace landed behind the Herald and spiral kicked him from behind allowing March and Sunny to kick him into the air. Then Teki, Happy, and Beauty kicked him back down.
"Pretty Cure! Thunder Strike!" called out Peace as she shot lightning out of both her hands which threw the Herald Thing back.
"Sugoi." said Happy who looked at Peace who was looking at her hands in shock. The Herald was still in shock and couldn't move. (I know. Bad pun)
"Let's finish him." said Teki.
"Right." said the five Cures all of whom began glowing along with her.
Outside the planet
"The cosmic fire burns eternal!" said Inferno.
"Light a path in the darkness of space!" said Melody.
"Giving hope to those in dispair!" said Rhythm.
"To fight and protect, that is our cause!" called out Muse.
"And forever keep evil from destroy innocence in life!" called out Beat.
"Cosmic Force!" called out all five. "Phoenix Incinerator!" At that the five began glowing brightly in red and flew very quickly towards the Herald Hulk causing them to become five bright red lights that combined and formed a large phoenix made of pure fire which then flew through the Herald. When the phoenix vanished the Herald was no longer there.
"Holy crap." said Inferno. "First time I do something like that. How about you four?"
"I've never even been out of the planet." said Melody.
"Well in any case let's go back." said Inferno heading back.
"Hey won't we be in trouble going back in?" asked Muse.
"I doubt it since we got out without much problem." said Inferno.
With Teki
"From the hearts of all humans!" called out Teki.
"To the hearts of animals around!" said Happy.
"Their love unites to protect!" said Sunny.
"With the will to fight on!" said Peace.
"We shall destroy all evil threats!" said March.
"And guide towards the future!" called out Beauty.
"United!" yelled out all six. "Lovely Swan Dive Crusher!" they yelled out as the six began glowing brightly and came together forming a light pink swan which then flew straight through the Herald before it was destroyed. After the swan split and the six girls stood together smiling.
"Hey what's that?" asked Sunny looking up. They all turned and saw five figures coming down really fast straight at them. Then expanded what look like wings and slowed until they landed with the six.
"Inferno?" asked Teki.
"Yeah." said Inferno. "I guess the same thing happened to you?"
"Yeah." said Teki.
"So anyone care to exlpain what's going on?" asked Muse.
"Wish I knew." said Inferno. "For now let's head to base."
"Understood." said Teki as the others looked.
"Do you all remember how this works?" asked Inferno.
Most of them nodded.
"In case you don't just press the screen of the watch." he said as he and Teki began glowing then vanished. The nine Cures then pressed the watches and also vanished.
At base.
"Stand by for arrival." said Sara. Shortly after two bursts of light appeared followed by nine more. Then all eleven were revealed.
"So what happened?" asked Justin.
"I'd expain but I'm not entirely sure." said Inferno. "For a moment it was as through we became connected for long enough to transfer power to them."
"It was more than that." said Teki. "During that time I felt their emotions going through me."
"So any theories?" asked Lance.
"Well the only thing I can figure is that there was a momentary connection which allowed an overload of our powers to flow into them which would explain why their current forms are as they are." said Inferno.
"So can anyone please explain what's going on?" asked March.
"It's a bit of a long story." said Inferno.
"Hey can any of you explain to them?" asked Kara.
"Allow me." said Honoka.
"By the way Shawn you still need to install the..." began Justin.
"The QX5 module. I know." said Shawn placing his hand on the floor causing the ground under him to glow and vanish allowing him to fall. Then the tiles reappeared.
"So you've all agreed to be part of this to face this new threat then." concluded Muse a few seconds after Honoka finished.
"Yes." said Honoka.
"Well there's no way I'm letting anyone threaten our world or the people we care about." said Melody. "I'm in."
"Me too." said Rhythm.
"Same here." said Muse.
"Count me in too." said Beat.
"And you five?" asked Kara.
"We're not letting you fight without us." said Happy. "After all it's been a while since we were all fought along side each other." she added as the tiles on the floor once again vanished.
"You're gonna wanna stand back." said Kara.
"Why?" asked March. Her question was answered when they saw a blue line of electricity shoot Inferno out of the hole. It then closed before he fell.
"Are you okay?" asked Tsubomi.
"Every damn time." said Inferno cracking his neck. "Alright the module's in. Just give it a minute to start up. In any case so are you nine in as well?"
"Yes we are." said Melody.
"Good. Now then..." he said revering straight to normal along with the Cures who first returned to their previous forms before going back to their civilian forms. "Interesting. In any case today we're gonna give you equipment."
"Equipment?" asked Yuri.
"That's right. There's a good chance that you'll end up in a position when you might be forced to transform but you might be in a tight space like if an enemy corners you in civilian form. So yours will consist of simple things like flash bombs, smoke bombs, a few darts for short circuiting, simple stuff like that." said Shawn. "After all you're all still too green to have anything that could do any real damage."
"Like what?" asked Erika.
"Taylor would you show them?" asked Shawn.
"With pleasure." said Taylor as she pulled out a small metal stick.
"What's that?" asked Inori.
"Just observe." said Shawn. Taylor held her hand to the side which caused it to grow into a large metal staff.
"I call this my Shock Stinger." said Taylor. "A multi-use staff that can give off well anywhere between 40 to 250,000 volts of electricity depending on the enemy." she explained as she began spinning it over her head before doing a few moves. Then she back flipped and hit the base of the staff on the ground and stood with one hand on it. "And even if it runs out of power it's still made of a combination of Vibranium and Adamantium so it's indestructible and able to absorb and amplify sound so it's still very dangerous."
"Can I see it?" asked Nozomi.
"Hang on. It could be dangerous." said Rin.
"Don't worry." said Taylor. "I'm the only one who can activate its functions." she said hand the staff to Nozomi. However when she held it she found it was much heavier than she thought. But being stubborn she tried to hold it while her face turned red. "Here." she said taking the staff. "I forgot to mention that Adamantium is really heavy." she added sheepishly.
"Let me see." said Rin (R). Taylor handed her the staff and did find it to be much heavier than she thought but nothing she couldn't handle. "You work out then don't you?"
"Every once in a while." said Taylor.
"Once in a while?" asked Shawn. "She trains so much I had to recode some of the simulations."
"Computer Synchronization complete." said a mechanical voice.
"What's that?" asked Honoka.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" asked a woman's voice.
"Rider?" asked Shawn.
"Shawn is that you?"
"Who else could it be?" replied Shawn coyly. "Sara can you set this into holocall?"
"On it." said Sara typing before hitting one last key. This caused strange blue holograms to appear around them. The Cures turned around and saw a woman who had long hair and was wearing pants, a turtleneck, glasses, and a ribbon at the end of her hair.
"Shawn I've been so worried." said the woman identified as Rider.
"Yeah I gathered. Sorry we couldn't contact you guys but we've been kinda busy." said Shawn.
"Rider did you find them?" asked another woman who entered. This one looked more around their age but had her hair tied in a bun with a ribbon and with her bangs at the sides of her face and wore what looked like hiking shoes, long socks, a long skirt, a long sleeve shirt with a ribbon at the collar.
"Yes we are Saber." said Shawn. Shortly after a man with long hair that was tied behind him and wore a pants, a t-shirt, and a wristband stepped in followed by a young woman who had her hair tied in two pigtails who wore a skirt, a short sleeve shirt and had fox ears and a fox tail. Then two more guys entered. One dressed like a cowboy and one who was wearing pants with a sort of half skirt and a shirt with a jacket.
"So you're all okay." said the man in the jacket.
"Is that anyway to talk Archer?" asked Rin (T).
"Alright sorry and I'm glad you safe." said the man identified as Archer in a semisarcastic tone.
"So what took y'all so long?" asked the cowboy.
"These kinds of things take time Avenger." said Kimiko.
"In any case is there a way for you to return?" asked the man who had his hair tied back.
"For the time being we're staying here since we aren't the only ones who came to this world. Hope you don't miss us too much Assassin." said Justin.
"Yeah. Sure." said Assassin.
"But I miss you master." said the fox girl.
"I miss you too." said Lance. "And don't worry Caster. Besides we're always careful."
"You better be." said Caster.
"Okay stop it before I blow my brains out again." said Shawn.
"Party pooper." said Caster.
"So who are they?" asked Archer looking towards the Pretty Cure.
"They're this realities heroes. Or heroines if you wanna go that route." said Shawn. "Did Jules go back?"
"Yeah I'm here." said Julie appearing.
"Alright Rider and Saber I need you to do two things. First tell Jason we're gonna need him here to train the rookies."
"Excuse me? Rookies? Who do you think you're talking to?" asked Nagisa angrily.
"Someone I could kill in a matter of seconds if I wanted because she's to slow to do anything." said Shawn causing Nagisa to take a step back out of fear. "We're gonna train you to handle things that you're can't handle."
"Like what?" inquired Yuri.
"Humans." replied Shawn. "I know these guys and they'll get humans to help them whether it's by paying them, supplying them with something, or by threat. Which means you won't be able to go all out unless you're willing to rip a person apart."
"You can't be serious." said Miki.
"Think about it." said Justin. "You've all only ever fought monsters and you rarely held back. What better weakness for you than to have to fight humans?"
"So they're willing to put humans in danger?" asked Itsuki.
"It's never bothered them before so why would it now?" asked Rider.
"Hey I'd like you to analyze some data from earlier and send copies of it to both Tony and Peter." said Shawn.
"What kind of data?" asked Saber.
"Battle data." replied Shawn.
"Alright." said Saber before the holograms vanished.
"So what should we do?" asked Lance.
"Train the rookies to limit themselves for one." said Shawn.
"Limit? Aren't we gonna fight monsters and stuff?" asked Nagisa.
"More than that. If they're gonna operate they'll be finding ways to get other people to join them. And they might experment with people on the street." said Shawn. "So for part of the time we're gonna be out in the streets."
"We should go as well." said Itsuki.
"Not yet." said Shawn.
"I thought part of our agreement was to not be treated as children." said Itsuki.
"We're not." said Shawn. "We're treating you as rookies." he said looking around. "Alright how about this? Any of you take me on in a fight. You win and you'll go into the advanced training and we'll let you patrol the mean streets with us. Otherwise you will remain under orders."
"Alright then." said Itsuki. "Except I need Potpourri."
"Here I am." a small white and yellow fairy who came out of a small white light. Then several other fairies appeared before them.
"What are they all doing here?" asked Setsuna.
"The fairies of this universe are similar to the animals so they sensed us." said Justin.
"That's right-nyah." said Hummy.
"So then shall we begin?" said Shawn transforming.
"Pretty Cure! Open My Heart!" called out Itsuki. With a flash of light stood Cure Sunshine. "So how are we gonna do this? We can't fight here."
"Sara. Let's go with Extern-25885, Extension-17, battle zone-855059." said Inferno.
"Nice choice." said Sara as she typed quickly. A few seconds after strange lights formed a grid on the two.
"What's going on?" asked Sunshine. She was answered by their surroundings suddenly changing to a large city. Sunshine looked around in shock and saw they were on top of a building.
"It's a something of a simulation chamber." said Inferno. "This base has a digital simulator. So shall we start?"
"Alright." said Sunshine as she charged at Inferno. Then she began trying to strike him but he simply dodged.
"My oh my. So a fighter and beautiful. Not a bad combination." said Inferno as he dodged.
With the others
When they disappeared a few screens appeared around them.
"Where'd they go?" asked Tsubomi.
"Just watch." said Taylor with a smile. They watched as Inferno dodged hit after hit.
Back with the two fighters.
"Come on now. Is that the best you've got?" asked Inferno as he kept dodging.
"I thought you were supposed to be some kind of big time fighter." said Sunshine.
"And I thought that since you're into martial arts you'd know better than to let an opponent let you waste your energy." countered Inferno before vanishing from Sunshine's eyesight.
"Where are you?" she asked.
"Down here." said Inferno. Sunshine ran to the other side of the roof and saw Inferno seemingly standing on the side of the building with his arms crossed. Then Sunshine jumped and started trying to strike him again as the fell until he once again disappeared from her line of sight and she punched the ground. "You're gonna have to do better than that sweetheart."
With everyone else.
"What is he doing?" asked Nozomi confused.
"He's goating her." said Justin.
"Simple strategy. Talk a lot. Annoy the opponent and they start slipping up eventually." said Kara.
"Then there's the detail that he's always been the kind of guy that can get any girl angry at him with a few words." said Lance.
"How?" asked Urara.
"By hitting on her." said Lance. "When he faces a female opponent he starts hitting on her in order to get her to lose focus as the fight progresses. Usually he just get them angry and they make mistakes but not all opponents are the same."
Back in the fight
"Are you gonna fight back or what?" asked Sunshine.
"Not until you stop holding back." said Inferno. "Although I guess you might not stop holding back if I don't stop." he said to himself as he ducked from one of Sunshine's punches before he drop kicked her back causing her to slam into a wall. As Sunshine turned around she saw Inferno standing with his eyes closed and saw a red aura around him. Then when he opened his eyes the aura spread and vanished. At that the two charged at each other before they began punching. However as they fought they were matching each other punch to punch. Then the two punched hard enough to be pushed back by the force of the hits. "Not bad."
"I might be a girl but I'm nowhere near weak." said Sunshine.
"Only a dead man judges an adversary by anything other than skill." said Inferno. "You're not the first girl I've ever fought."
"I see." said Sunshine. "Then try this." she said making a circular motion with her hands. "Sunshine Flash!" she said firing several shots of golden energy. However when they were gonna hit him Inferno threw a small ball that caused a smoke screen surprising Sunshine. When she saw the attack go through the smoke she figured he had moved and began looking around. 'Where is he?'
"Super Scatter Shot!" she heard. Then she looked up and saw Inferno holding a strange red and gold bow with four arrows that had no arrow heads aimed at her. When he fired Sunshine started walking backwards until she saw the first arrow hit and explode. Then she jumped back to dodge the following arrows. Then she saw and arrow flying but that wasn't aim at her. She watched until it hit a car that was right behind her. Then she saw a light on the arrow that started blinking giving her an idea of what it was gonna do and attempted to jumped back far enough to still get hit with the explosion which threw her back.
With the others
"Hey that's not fair." said Erika.
"When you fight these enemies you can bet they'll have weapons so you'll have to learn to not only adapt but to use your surrounding but find a weapon in anything around you." said Taylor. "Sometimes that can make enough of a difference to change the entire course of a fight. So we'll find out if little Miss Sunshine can turn the tide of the fight."
"You've been hanging out with your brother way too much." said Rin (T).
In the fight
Sunshine had jumped into an alley trying to figure out how to counter Inferno's weapon when she noticed there were no more explosions.
"Big mistake trying to hide." said Inferno causing Sunshine to turn around in shock.
"How did you…?" began Sunshine.
"Elemental, remember?" said Inferno. "We're part of the planet and as such we can sense anything and anyone if we look for them. And since we're in a small space there's nothing to look for except you." he said with a smile before his look became serious. "Remember that the enemies you face won't care who you are or what's around so you have to think on your feet. Make sure to think fast but also take into account everything around you."
"Wait a minute." said Sunshine. "This is a lesson, isn't it?"
"Well we had to start somewhere." said Inferno with a smile. "Now come on cowgirl. Let's see what you've got." he said charging at her. Sunshine did the same but then took notice that his eyes had begun glowing. Then she saw several lines that formed throughout his body which looked similar to circuits. Then he jumped and started what looked to Sunshine like he was skating on fire. After he jumped and drop kicked her. Sunshine saw it coming and she blocked but was surprised when the impact caused an explosion that threw her back. "Don't forget that even though you've gotten attacks there's always room for growth. Just takes some focus."
"Focus huh." said Sunshine as she was about to hit. Then she began spinning and was able to stop on the nearest building and impulse herself. As she began picking up speed her she began glowing. Inferno noticed and began glowing as well. The two sped up until their impact caused a bright light.
Back with the other
There was a large flash of light from the screen which forced everyone to cover their eyes. After they looked and saw no one was there.
"Where are they?" asked Tsubomi. As if on cue a there was a bright flash and before them stood Inferno carrying an unconcious Cure Sunshine in his arms.
"Sara."
"Right." said Sara hitting a key. This caused a part of the ground to rise allowing Inferno to place Cure Sunshine on it.
"What did you do to her?" asked Yuri angrily.
"Nothing." said Inferno. "I told her to focus her energy and she ended up using too much. Her body couldn't handle it and she passed out." he explained. "She'll be asleep for a few minutes. After that she'll be fine."
"So anyone else up for a round?" asked Justin.
"We don't have time for that." said Inferno who returned to his civilian form. "First we need to discuss what we each saw. So far I think it's obvious that we've all run into Heralds so let's make a list of who was seen."
"Well we saw Ruby Heart with three weird mutated bug people things." said Justin.
"Those were Girinma, Arachnea, and Bunbee." said Nozomi. "They were part of Nightmare. An organization who wanted to get the Dream Collet."
"Alright so that's four. Who else?" asked Shawn.
"We saw Captain Commando." said Lance avoiding eyes contact. The Cures noticed and then saw Shawn's eyes widened.
"Who else." asked Shawn looking down.
"Well Jin Saotome." said Lance.
"We also saw Lasher and Phage." said Illya.
"So there were more." said Shawn.
"What do you mean?" asked Lance.
"We saw Scream." said Kara.
"So two dead heroes, three unknowns, a live hero, and three symbiote warriors." listed Shawn. "In that case we'll have to start training them as soon as we can but right now we need to figure out how many possible Heralds we could be facing." he said. "Including most of the versions of us."
"So they'll need to be prepared for a lot of possible scenarios." said Kara. "Anything from magic to technology. From killers to snipers."
"From Gods to demons." said Shawn.
"Wait are you serious?!" yelled out Rin (R).
"Dead serious." said Shawn. "Now then for a little history."
"Shouldn't we be training?" asked Sunshine who got up and returned to normal.
"A basic rule of war is know thy enemy before you take them on. Otherwise you'll be walking into your own grave." said Shawn.
"But then..." began Rin (R).
"He's right." interupted Yuri. "Each enemy we faced we went in fighting blind and only came out on top because we were able to gather the power of those who believe in us. This time it might not be enough so we need to be as prepared as possible if the enemies we face are as diverse as he says."
"So then this time around we won't just be fighting to save one thing or one person at a time. We might end up fighting more than one creature or enemy at a time." said Honoka.
"It gets better than that." said Shawn. "I've had a sneaking suspicion of who we might be dealing with and if I'm right you might be meeting old friends and foes. Especially those who once were enemies that became friends and then were lost. I know because they did it to me before."
"What?! When?" asked Kara.
"When we were making our way to the crystal. Remember the guy in red who stopped us?"
"Yeah. The guy you beat before we met up at the crystal chamber." said Kara before her eyes widened.
"He took off his mask when I burned part of it and there he was. My dead brother." said Shawn. At that many of the Cures looked at him sympathetically. "I fought him to the death and I did it without remorse. You'll have to learn that while some of the people you've met who will be back can be saved but others can't. Until this is over we won't expect you to kill or anything like that. If you are in a situation in which have to take a life then leave. The only time you'll be expected to do so is if you're the only one there and there's other lives at stake. Any other time leave it to any one of us. Except Shiro. In that kind of situation he's undependable and has almost gotten himself killed like nine times."
"Hey that's not true." said Shiro.
"Actually it is. We've been keeping count." said Kimiko.
"In any case the important thing now is that there's gonna be a lot of possible foes. Too many to go over right now." said Shawn as a blue sphere formed in the middle of the room. When it vanished there were twenty eight devices just like the ones the Elemental had used to communicate with Sara during class. "These will allow for you're study. Rider has put in the information of just about every friend ally, and enemy who they might make a Herald of."
"So anyone in particular who might be really dangerous?" asked Erika.
"That's all on perspective." said Shawn. "We're not gonna test in case you were wondering. This is a know you're possible enemy kind of thing. The only real plus side to this is that there's no Hulk to deal with. Hopefully they don't make another Herald of him."
"Speaking of which how did you beat him?" asked Taylor. "Last we saw the five of you flew off planet."
"You what?!" yelled out Akane and Rin (R).
"Well that's part of what I've been thinking about." said Shawn. "Out of all nine of us I'm the only one with active use of Cosmic Energy. I think the whole thing that happened earlier was similar to how we use our symbiotes."
"Wait. Your symbiotes?" asked Karen.
"Yeah." said Shawn. "Come on out guys." The Cures looked around until they saw what looked like a small yellow and black slime thing with white eyes sliding towards them. It was followed by a one with blue, one with green, and one with purple. The yellow one then jumped onto Shawn's shoulder white the blue one jumped onto Justin's, the purple one onto Kimiko's, and the green one onto Lance's.
"What are those things?" asked Tsubomi.
"They're Symbiotes." said Shawn. "We found them about a year ago when the four of us we're called in to search for some...well that part's classified. What we can say is we split up found them near death and let them bond with us."
"So what do they do?" asked Nozomi.
"Can someone define Symbiote or symbiosis for her?" asked Shawn.
"Symboisis is a relationship of mutual benifit." explained Yuri. "Simply put both them and the Symbiotes gain something from their partnership."
"Oh. I get it now." said Nozomi. "So who gains what?" she asked curiously.
"Well we let them feed off the excess energy we have." said Shawn. "And the exchange is they boost us whenever we need it. Of course at this point we have gotten pretty close, haven't we?" he asked looking at the symbiote who jumped onto his other shoulder. "Anyway it seems this is similar. I think when Illya and I transformed with them our Cosmic Energy flowed into them which is why Hibiki, Kanake, Ellen, and Ako were able to fly out off the planet and survive out there."
"I see." said Ako. "But then is it possible we may have gained more?"
"What do you mean?" asked Shiro.
"There was an exchange of energy from us to them which might mean they could begin to manifest some of our abilities which would be a problem."
"Why?" asked Hibiki.
"This is why." said Shawn as his body suddenly caught on fire surprising the Cures. "I'm more than used to walking like this but you wouldn't be able to control it." he said returning to normal.
"Wait but if it doesn't hurt you why would it hurt us?" asked Kanade.
"The point isn't would you get hurt. It's that you could scorch the city." said Shawn.
"So what about us?" asked Miyuki.
"Illya?" asked Shawn towards the youngest Elemental.
"You're gonna have to be careful because it could go one of two ways. You could either start feeling everything the people around you feel or you could influence how the people around you feel." said Illya. "But given how much time it's been since it happened is this really something that we should be concerned about?" she asked as each of the Cures took a device.
"So how do we put them on?" asked Nagisa.
"Just place them on your forearms and they'll close." said Shawn. Each did and became surprised when they closed.
"Just one thing though. They have a DNA lock so once they're on they don't come off." said Kara.
"What?! Why didn't you tell us that?!" yelled out Nagisa.
"Don't worry. While they don't come off they do kind mix in." said Shawn.
"What do you mean?" asked Miki.
"The DNA lock allows them to mix in with your DNA to stay hidden. Simply put they'll only appear if you want them to." replied Shawn.
"This is very advanced technology." said Honoka. "How did you get it?"
"Advanced?" asked Shawn. "These came out like five years ago. They're standard issue if you're train by one of the companies."
"Sounds fun." said Nozomi. "Hey can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead." replied Shawn.
"Well you had a look when they mention Captain Commando." asked Nozomi. "Were you two friends?"
"No. We were sent on missions together from time to time but in the last one he was brainwashed and tried to kill me. I was able to overload his armor enough to snap him out of it but not for long." explained Shawn.
"So what happened?" asked Nozomi. "He told me I had to kill him because he was compromised. I refused to and he told me to give him one of my guns and finish the mission. That was the last I saw of him."
"So he died?" asked Karen.
"I don't know." said Shawn. "I was able to complete the mission and destroy the core but on the way out the place came down."
"Must have been from the core." said Justin.
"Yeah. I'm not so sure about that." said Shawn.
"So what do you think it was?" asked Komachi.
"Well probably the twelve pounds of C4 I used to blow the core." said Shawn.
"You used twelve pounds of C4?!" yelled out Karen.
"What's C4?" asked Nozomi.
"It's an explosive material that's really light weight and easily moldable. It also won't go off unless it has a trigger of some kind." explained Shawn. "And for the record it wasn't my idea. The jackass who contacted thought it would be impossible to break through unless we use a lot of fire power. I tried suggesting using an EMP but he then he start rambling about something I didn't actually understand. I think he mentioned Funnel Cake though but I just went with what he wanted."
"So then he died on mission?" asked Taylor.
"Again I don't know." said Shawn.
"But you said the place exploded." said Urara.
"Yeah but he was never found." replied Shawn. "There is a chance that he's alive but give how long it's the odds are low."
"How long has it been?" asked Nozomi.
"Like three years." said Shawn. "And from that I still carry the scar he gave me." he said pulling up pulling up his right pant leg revealing a scar just below his knee. "In any case study a few of those a day since it's impossible to tell how many could be made. Their profiles are included but there's one additional thing that can't be factored in."
"What's that?" asked Karen.
"They're all probably gonna have cosmic energy which means that most of you're powers won't be enough to take them out. So until we find another way to take them on you'll have to rely on skills and smarts." said Shawn. "Alright for now everyone's dismissed. I'll catch up with you later and we'll test the communicator function tonight to link all of us up. Nozomi could you give us a hand?" Nozomi looked surprised but nodded as the other were teleported.
"Don't take too long." said Rin (R) before she also left leaving only Shawn, Nozomi, Sara, and Saphie.
"What did you need my help with?" asked Nozomi.
"I don't. I wanted to ask what it is you really wanted to ask me." said Shawn.
"I don't know what you're talking about." said Nozomi.
"You can lie all you want." said Shawn. "I can read people and I know you wanted to ask something else."
"Well I wanted to ask if you could train me." said Nozomi. "You know, alone."
"Why?" asked Shawn curiously.
"Because out of everyone in my team I'm the one that tends to mess up the most. Sometimes even in battle and even if they say they rely more on me than I do on them I know I might be useless. That's why I wanted to ask."
"Alright. I get it." replied Shawn. "Sara, Saphi. Keep this between us."
"Understood." said Sara. "So how do you plan on it?"
"Nozomi I want you to take this like a pill tonight before you go to sleep." said Shawn handing her.
"What is it?" asked Nozomi.
"It doesn't have a name yet. But it will synchronize our minds and souls so that while we sleep we'll be in the same dream. That should help us with this." explained Shawn.
"So are you gonna take one too?" asked Nozomi.
"No. It's got a crystalized fragment of a phoenix soul and since I myself am a phoenix it'll synchronize us. At least in theory." replied Shawn.
"Ok." said Nozomi before leaving as well.
"Alright Sara if either of you need anything any of us are just a call away." said Shawn before leaving as well.
Anyone who has questions can just pm me. Also the world the Elementals are from a large crossover and part of that is part Yu-Gi-Oh! so that's why last chapter had a duel.
