Dream sequence
Chapter 5 A Past revealed: Fire
Nozomi looked around unsure of where she was.
"Hey there you are." said a voice. Nozomi turned to see Shawn.
"What are you doing here and where are we?" asked Nozomi.
"We're in your dream cake for brains." replied Shawn.
"Wait so I'm sleeping?" asked Nozomi.
"Little slow on the get go, aren't you?" asked Shawn. "Yeah you're asleep. We're here because you asked me to help you."
"Oh yeah. Sorry." said Nozomi sheepishly.
"Now let's get started." said Shawn.
"But how will this help if I'm asleep?" asked Nozomi.
"Here physical traits are carried on so anything you gain here will carry onto your real body." explained Shawn. "Anyway let's begin."
The next day
"Nozomi wake up! You'll be late for school." called out Nozomi's mom.
"Don't worry mom." said Nozomi as she came down the stairs fully dressed and completely ready causing her mom to look in shock. "What's wrong?"
"You're actually up. I'm just surprised." said her mom.
"Actually it feels a little weird." said Nozomi with a smile. "Anyway I should probably eat something quick before I'm late." she said sitting down to eat. Shortly after she headed to school. On the way she heard a beeping sound and pulled up her uniform sleeve causing her own device to appear but then turn pink. "Hello?"
"Hey Dreamer." said Shawn.
"Uh Shawn-san?" asked Nozomi.
"Nozomi just call me Shawn." he said. "Anyway how are you feeling?"
"Strange but in a good way." said Nozomi.
"That's because of the dream training. It won't really help with physical training but mental and spiritual training." explained Shawn. "Basically you'll be more focused."
"Is that why I woke up earlier than usual?" asked Nozomi.
"Uh no. That was because your subconscious shot me out and alerted you by forcing you awake." replied Shawn. "Anyway just try to test things out."
"Like what?" asked Nozomi.
"Well I guess have a conversation with someone and see if you recall what they said without actually listening to them." replied Shawn. "Anyway I've gotta go. Later." he said before her device disappeared. When she got to the bus stop Rin and Komachi were surprised to see her.
"Nozomi. You're actually early." said Rin in shock.
"I just woke up early." said Nozomi. "It's not that big a deal." she said pouting.
"It's just surprising." said Komachi.
"So did either of you check out the info we were given?" asked Rin.
"I checked a few of them." said Nozomi. "Did you see that one guy that looked like a statue?"
"Which one?" asked Rin.
"I think his name was Ogre or something like that." replied Nozomi.
"I saw that one." said Rin. "He seems to be one of the strongest enemies we'll face."
"The one that worries me the most is the one called Abomination." said Komachi.
"Abomination?" asked Rin.
"I saw that one too." said Nozomi. "It looks like a monster from a swamp or something." she said making a face. "But it's also supposed to be insanely strong."
"Just how strong could that be?" asked Rin.
"You know how a lot of times when we attack we at least keep an enemy from moving?" asked Nozomi. Rin nodded. "Well he can run straight though any attacks. At least that's what the thing says."
"Wait you actually read?!" asked Rin in overdramatic shock causing Nozomi to pout again.
"I actually only read like three of them." replied Nozomi. "Ogre, Abomination, and Ms Marvel. After I fell asleep." she added sheepishly.
'Nozomi.' a voice said within Nozomi's mind causing her to look around.
"What's wrong?" asked Rin.
"I could've sworn someone called my name just now." replied Nozomi.
"I didn't hear anything." said Rin turning to Komachi. "Did you?"
"I didn't hear anything either." replied Komachi.
"Must've been my imagination." said Nozomi tilting her head as the bus arrived.
Over in Kanon
"So did any of you check the info we were given?" asked Ako as she walked with Kanade, Hibiki, and Ellen.
"I checked a few before going to sleep." said Hibiki.
"Right. How many did you actually check?" asked Kanade.
"Four." replied Hibiki.
"The one that worries me the most though is Mephisto." said Ellen.
"Wait. There's a possibility of your dad being one?" asked Kanade.
"It's a different Mephisto. One who seems to specialize in making faustian deals." replied Ako.
"Faustian?" asked Hibiki confused.
"It means demonic or underhanded." replied Ako. "It seems his power alone exceeds most of the enemies we've ever faced. Possibly even Black Hole."
"Oh man. He was unbelievably strong." said Hibiki remembering the battle.
"Honestly I'm more worried about whether it is possible for their to be a Herald copy of Galactus." said Ellen.
"Who's that?" asked Hibiki.
"It seems in their universe Galactus was a being so large and powerful he had to survive by consuming whole planets."
"WHAT?!" yelled out both Hibiki and Kanade.
"How would we be able to face something that actually eats planets?!" asked Hibiki.
"He didn't quite eat planets." replied a voice. The four turned and saw Shawn walking behind them startling them.
"How long have you been following us?" asked Ellen.
"About two blocks I think. Except I stopped for a pretzel." replied Shawn simply.
"A pretzel?" asked Hibiki.
"Yeah. There's a guy who has a small stand. His pretzels kick ass though." replied Shawn.
"Must you speak so crudely?" asked Ako.
"Sorry but I have no inner sensor. Never learned one since I grew up with up without parents." said Shawn causing the four to stop.
"You don't have parents?" asked Hibiki.
"Well I do but they've been dead for a little over a decade now." said Shawn.
"I'm sorry." said Hibiki trying to imagine what it must be like. 'Even when my dad's busy and mom's traveling I can always talk to them.' she thought to herself sadly.
"Don't worry about it." replied Shawn. "Look if I dwelled on that constantly I'd be depressed all the time and that's N.G."
"N.G.?" asked Ellen.
"No good." replied Shawn. "From one reality to the next people overcome their problems with different things. Back when we were sent to the universe of the Super Sentai we learned a lot of things that give them power. Including that the greatest magic is courage and that one must be willing to fight for their dreams. In doing so they've overcome great enemies that caused a lot of destruction like when the Gokaigers took on the entire Zangyack great fleet on their own."
"How big was that fleet?" asked Kanade.
"Well their fleet was gathered from across the galaxy." replied Shawn pulling up his uniform sleeve causing his device to appear. "I have the numbers here but maybe it'll be better if I show everyone back at the base."
"If I may ask back when our powers first became one why did you say spoken like a true pirate?" asked Ako.
"Well pirates are somewhat misunderstood." replied Shawn. "In reality a lot of them wanted to grab ahold of that which they couldn't take normal. That which was stolen from them. A pirate does whatever he must to grab ahold of his dreams and in doing so battle with everything to do so. Understand?"
"I think so." said Hibiki.
"Who knows. Maybe someday you'll be worthy to ride on the Galleon." said Shawn with a smile.
"Galleon?" asked Kanade. Shawn pulled out a card which had the picture of a red pirate ship.
"In a similar way to how we bonded I bonded with the Gokaigers and gained a new battle mode back then. Now I'm able to call out a copy of the Galleon that's stationed in the Duel Monster spirit world."
"But it's also become something of a tourist spot." said another voice.
"Who's there?" asked Hummy who came out of Hibiki's bag. At that the spirit of a blond woman who was wearing a blue outfit that was lined with pink appeared behind Shawn.
"Oh hey Mana." said Shawn.
"Mana?" asked all four.
"She's my Duel Monster spirit partner." replied Shawn. "She's also acted like an older sister to me over these last few years."
"Well you needed to be guided." said Mana. "In any case I wanted to tell all of you that there's a lot more to the power you all gained than what you imagine."
"How much more?" asked Shawn.
"I don't know." replied Mana. "All we were told was to tell our partners to head to the Plain of Creation at noon."
"Plain of Creation?" asked Ellen.
"What's that?" asked Hibiki.
"It's the place where everything begins." replied Shawn. "Something like a heaven earth prime. "It's where all the versions of the Elementals originated from and where we gather in times of great trouble. We also use it as a meeting place with the Creator."
"Sugoi." said Hibiki. "So can we come too?"
"I'm afraid not. You're souls are far too weak to be able to withstand the place. Only souls who were originally forces can withstand that place's pressure. Otherwise your souls would be destroyed from just being there." explained Shawn. "In any case I better get going or I'll be late. Ja ne." he said taking flight.
"I wish we could just fly to school." said Hibiki.
"It would be great." said Ellen.
With the Smile Pretty Cure
"It seems there will be a great amount of enemies who we will need to face." said Aoki.
"Some seem a lot more dangerous than others." said Nao.
"Maybe but so long as we keep fighting for everyone's happiness I'm sure we'll be able to take anyone or anything head on." said Miyuki.
"That's a good spirit but thinking like that will only take you so far." said a voice. The five turned and saw Illya sitting on a tree branch above them before she jumped off and landed in front of them.
"Illya-san." said Aoki.
"You don't need to be so formal." said Illya.
"But we've always pulled through no matter how strong the enemy." said Miyuki.
"That's because up until now you've been light fighting darkness." replied Illya. "This time around you'll be light fighting light, darkness, fire, water, wind, earth, and a lot more." she explained. "One thing you need to understand is that light and darkness aren't actually good and evil. Back home there was one who saved our universe's twelve dimensions using the power of darkness against light."
"Light was evil in your world?" asked Yayoi.
"Kind of. It's a little hard to explain." said Illya. "The important thing is that you need a lot more than just light to face the coming enemies. But it never hurts to have friends to help you because even if you're fighting light or if you're fighting something within yourself they'll be there for you. Right?"
"That's right." said Miyuki with smile.
"Excuse me but there's something I've been wanting to ask you." said Aoki.
"Go ahead." said Illya.
"Yesterday when that creature made a copy of you how were you able to make it work with you?" asked Aoki.
"Because of my eyes." replied Illya. "I'm a magus of a top class family and I was born with special eyes which allow me to put anyone who looks into them to sleep. Well originally. Now I can hypnotize anyone or anything that looks into my eyes so long as I'm in this form. In my Elemental form I can't even while I can use my magic circuits."
"Magic circuits?" asked the five confused.
"They work like the circuits in a machine allowing a magus easy use of their magic. However there are some who are able to do extraordinary things with theirs." explained Illya.
"Like who?" asked Miyuki excited.
"I won't tell you what they can do other than make a reality marble but Shawn and Shiro are able to do something amazing." said Illya. "Anyway I better go or I'll be late. See ya." she said flying away.
Over with Kara and the others
"So where's Shawn?" asked Nagisa.
"He said something about needing to have a talk with the Suite and flew off." replied Taylor. "But he's on his way back."
"How can you tell?" asked Hikari.
"You don't smell that?" asked Kara.
"Smell?" asked Nagisa taking a wiff. "It smells like something burning." Then they turned and saw a fireball flying towards them which crashed in front of them.
"Well better than Illya's landings." said Shawn walking on fire.
"Yeah well you need to remember to stop igniting mid flight." said Kara. "Remember what happened back when we met the Titans?"
"You mean when I crashed onto Cinderblock?" asked Shawn as the fire vanished.
"Hey, since when are the uniforms fire proof?" asked Nagisa.
"They're not." replied Shawn. "But anything we wear becomes a part of us while we wear it so in my case it becomes fire proof." he explained. "So shall we?"
"Let's go." said Taylor taking her brother's hand.
With Illya
She flew heading to the school. Then she stopped a few yards above the school and dropped landing on her feet. Then went in heading down the stairs.
"Hey Illya. Where were you?" asked Monica.
"Had a little talk with the smile." replied Illya. "In any case you've heard about today at noon?"
"Yes." replied the other Elementals.
"What's gonna happen?" asked Urara going up to them.
"Nothing. We're just gonna have to meet up in the Plain of Creation." replied Justin.
"What's that?" asked Urara.
"We don't really have the time to explain right now." said Justin.
"How come?" asked Urara.
"Because we have to go into class for some other things." said Lance as they left.
"So why'd you lie?" whispered Illya.
"Does it really matter right now?" asked Lance.
At lunch each of the Elementals were on the roof of the schools they were attending and sat in lotus position and their hands together to form a circle. At first they had their eyes closed. When they opened them thier eyes were glowing and lights shot up into the sky leaving each Elemental with thier eyes glowing in their individual primary colors. Each Pretty Cure team who was attending with Elementals went to the roof of their schools and found them sitting on the roofs.
"Hey you ran off kinda fast." said Nagisa as she and Honoka approached Shawn and Kara but got curious when neither of them moved. "Hey are you okay?" she asked placing a hand on Shawn's shoulder for a second before she pulled it back.
"What's wrong?" asked Honoka.
"His body's like on fire." said Nagisa blowing on her hand. Honoka got curious and placed a hand on Kara's shoulder before pulling it back. To her shock her hand had gone numb. After a few seconds her hand felt normal again. Then the two went in front of them and saw that their eyes were glowing.
With Saki, Mai, Kaoru, and Michiru
"Hey are you up here?" asked Saki as they got to the roof. "You see? I knew they'd be here."
"But something's wrong." said Saki.
"Indeed." said Michiru approaching Lance, Rin, and Illya. Then she went in front of them and saw their eyes were glowing. "Is this normal? I mean for them?" she asked. The other three went in front of them too and saw their eyes were glowing.
"Not quite normal but not all that strange." said Leon as he walked towards them. "They're souls are currently away and because of this their bodies are pure element so I wouldn't get to close."
Over with the remaining Elementals
"Hey are you up here?" asked Nozomi as the six got to the roof of the building. When they got there Nozomi found it weird they didn't answer and got closer. Then she placed her hand on Kimiko's shoulder but pulled it back quickly after feeling a jolt of electricity.
"Are you okay?" asked Rin.
"Yeah I just felt a jolt in my hand." replied Nozomi.
"What's your problem?" asked Rin walking in front of them followed by Komachi.
"I don't think they can hear you." said Komachi noticing how their eyes were glowing. The other four went in front of them and noticed as well.
"It looks like they're entranced." said Karen. "Perhaps we should just eat."
"Alright." said Nozomi.
In the Plain of Creation
Angel was walking with Cylone and Teki throught was place with a shining sky and many flowers everywhere. The three walked until they saw what looks like a large gate which opened when they arrived at it. Once they entered they saw the other six Elementals.
"Took you long enough." said Inferno.
"Well it's not like we can go straight here." complained Angel.
"In any case why were we called?" asked Cyclone.
"Good question." said Shadow.
"You are here because I have called you here." said a voice. At that all nine of them knelt down. "Please rise." The nine did and then looked up. "I have called you here because there is something you must know."
"What is it?" asked Inferno.
"As you have already seen the Fire and Love have gained strength with those two groups of Pretty Cure." said the voice.
"Yes we have been trying to find out about that." said Aquatica.
"It was because in a moment of clarity their souls became united. In doing so they granted you something and you granted them something." explained the voice. "With time they won't be limited to how they can transform."
"I see." said Inferno.
"But then does this mean that we'll all be able to bond with them?" asked Terra.
"Indeed but it will be one of you bonding with one group of Pretty Cure." replied the voice.
"Except that there's only seven groups of Pretty Cure." said Electrix.
"There is one more group whom you have not met. They were created artificially but one gained enough strength to earn her own heart and soul. In doing so the full group has a new prospect." explained the voice.
"So who are they?" asked Teki.
"That you will find out in time. All I can say is that when you do meet them you will have to save them." said the voice.
"That might get complicated then." frowned Cyclone.
"There is one more thing." said the voice. "I believe you all have noticed that some even though all of the Pretty Cure draw power from light some of them use Elemental powers."
"Indeed we have." said Titan.
"I must advise you to train those who's Elemental powers are drawn from your element. They still have a great potential which they have never explored because they did not have the guidance. I'm certain if you help them they will be able to not only get stronger but they will also be able to created their own attacks and find other ways to use their powers." explained the voice.
"Very well. We shall." said Inferno.
"Should we start after school?" asked Electrix.
"No." said Inferno. "While we don't know any of their history we should tell them about ours. At least from this life time."
"Won't that take too long?" asked Teki.
"For today it'll just be El and I." said Shawn. "Everyone else stay out in case there's an attack."
"Understood." said Shadow.
"So what? He's in charge?" asked Angel.
"In the meantime yes. Shadow's Warchief." replied Inferno.
"You watched that movie again, didn't you?" asked Aquatica.
"I don't think it matters. They're Warriors and so are we. Even if we're not trying to fight our way home but it's not too far off." replied Inferno. "In any case we will go now if that is all."
"It is." said the voice. "Go and protect." The nine nodded and knelt down once more before they began glowing and vanished.
Back on earth
Nine lights fell hitting each Elemental which caused their eyes to stop glowing.
"So what happened?" asked Nagisa.
"Our next course of action has been decided." said Shawn pulling up his sleeve. "All PCs come in. After school head to base."
"Very subtle." said Kara.
"So what are we gonna do?" asked Nagisa.
"A history lesson." replied Shawn.
With the Heartcatch
"I wonder what we'll be doing." said Erika.
"In the meantime I would be better to focus on what we're doing." said Itsuki.
Over with the Fresh
"I wonder why." said Love.
"It doesn't really matter." said Setsuna. "If we have to go then we have to go."
"That's right. Otherwise we might miss something important." said Miki. At that Inori nodded.
"We'll have to do our best."
After school at the base (*AN: I've been wanting to name the base but haven't been able to come up with a good name yet)
Shawn and Kimiko arrived first and went towards Sara and Saphi.
"So what's it going to be today?" asked Sara.
"Nothing. Take the day off and hang out with the others. We're just gonna be telling them some things." replied Shawn.
"Understood." said Sara before she and Saphi left. It was then Taylor appeared.
"You two gonna be ready?" asked Shawn.
"Those aren't happy memories but yeah. It might become important for them to know about us." said Kimiko. Taylor just nodded with Amy on her shoulder. Within a few minutes all the Pretty Cure showed up in civilian form.
"Alright before we start I wanna make one thing completely clear." said Shawn. "No talking until it's over and even then I don't wanna hear anyone say things like I'm so sorry or anything like that. Understood?" All the Cures nodded.
"So why did you call us here?" asked Yuri.
"A history lesson." replied Shawn. "We're gonna tell you about our past so you can get a clear understanding of us and what we are."
"I see." said Yuri.
"Alright well it would all start around sixteen or so years ago." began Shawn. "We were born into our own world as most but there was a little issue after. Several new borns most of whom were a week old were kidnapped. Kim and I included."
"We were taken by demons who were working for a demon who was working for the source." continued Kimiko.
"The Source?" asked Nozomi.
"Demons can be good or bad and some were under the command of someone who was known as the source. As in the Source of all evil." replied Shawn. "Anyway this demon had several newborns kidnapped. The purpose was simple. To create the ultimate army. They experimented on us splitting us up into three projects. I was in Project AlterWar."
"I was in project BioWar." added Kimiko.
"Through that we were sent to different facilities." said Shawn. "Project AlterWar consisted of the demons created copies of Devil Arms which are weapons that come about as a result of a demon being defeated. To create these copies of Devil Arms they used the souls of several demons for each one. Then another to merge the weapon into each subject's soul making the weapons alive in a sense."
"Project BioWar consisted of subjects being infected with a number of different viruses that are meant to increase the test subjects natural abilities. Of the four possible viruses I was infected with Ouroboros."
"All the projects had one thing in common though. We were all equipped with a super computer in our Cerebral Cortex which would later on be meant to control us as well as allow us to scout and do thing like that without needing tools like nightvision goggles. That's the reason our eyes to two different colors." explained Shawn. "One eye is able to use most kind of scans known to humans and some known to demons. The other can scan things such as magic and things of that nature. A few of us were infected with a technorganic virus known as Daidalos. Of the five subject injected with it none displayed any changes so it was scrapped."
"Excuse me but what do you mean by Technorganic?" asked Tsubomi.
"It was a vius that was meant to convert our oganic bodies into metal. In other words they wanted to turn us into machines."explained Shawn. "But again at the time none of the test subjects displayed any changes so they didn't believe it worked."
"So any of them display any changes later on?" asked Inori.
"You tell me." said Shawn as his right arm suddenly became metallic. "Anyway we were in it for about ten months. It was then that a few task forces found out about the project and raided the labs. They rescued all the children. The one I was in was saved by a group of Mutants known as the X-Men. They began taking the children back to their parents finding them with DNA tests. I was the only one left because I was one of the only hybrids in the project."
"Hybrid?" asked Nagisa confused.
"I'm only half human because my mother was human but my father was a vampire of an evolved class known as Daywalkers." explained Shawn. "Anyway it took them another four months or so for them to be able to find my parents. During that time I became attached to them and thought of them as family."
"How could you have if you were only about a year old?" asked Miki.
"The computers in our Cerebral Cortex made us self aware. After they were installed we became completely aware of everything they did to us and the world around us." replied Shawn. "Anyway so a few more months later and they found my parents and Uncle Logan returned me to them."
"I was found by a group known as S.T.A.R.S. More specifically by a woman by the name of Jill Valentine. It didn't take as long with me but I was also returned to my parents." added Kimiko.
"For around the first four years after it was all peace and happiness until it happened." said Shawn.
*A Few Years Ago*
A woman with mid length black hair was driving a five year old along with her own son. As she drove she noticed many people gathered and got out of the car followed by both children. Getting closer she was stopped by a police officer.
"What happened?" asked the woman.
"A bomb was planted in the home. There were no survivors." said the police officer. At that one of the boys dropped the toy he was holding which the officer noticed.
"Sir!" called out one of the officers who went up to the one who was near the woman.
"What is it?"
"It seems that of the family one was missing. It seems it was this boy." said the other officer noticing the boy's expression. When the officer got near him the boy took off running as tears began running down his face.
*Back with the others*
"I ran and ran for a long time just trying to dull the pain but I did realize what had happened." continued Shawn. "Some of the demons who had been watching over us were searching for me and when they didn't they killed my parents and my brother. From that point on I ran and became a stray. Even going as far as stealing to survive. I would try to think back to what it was they had taught me but everytime I thought about them the same thoughts played out in my mind. 'They were searching for you. It's your fault they're dead. If you had been smart enough to learn how to use your powers earlier you could've saved them.' For about a few days I just ran until my wings sprouted and I ended up flying. I felt so bad I just flew none stop until I wound up in Winchester, New York. But I went for so long I ended up losing conciousness and fell from the sky. After that I remember waking up in the X Mansion. I was looked around but couldn't tell at first."
*Flashback*
"Where am I?" asked a young Shawn.
"You're in the X Mansion." said a male's voice. Shawn turned and saw a man with wild looking hair who was wearing jeans, a brown buttoned shirt that was open enough to see he wore an undershirt, and was smoking a cigar.
"Uncle Logan." said Shawn.
"Care to tell me how exactly you ended up crashing here from the sky?" asked Logan. Shawn looked down with his fist balled before he ended up breaking down and hugged Logan while crying. "What happened?"
"My...parents...My brother. They were killed." said Shawn.
"It's alright kid. You're okay." said Logan trying to comfort him.
"No it's not!" yelled Shawn. "They died because of me. I know they were looking for me! And I was too weak to save them!" he said as fire formed in his hands. Logan noticed and decided something.
"Come on. Let's go see Professor Xavier." Shawn nodded and the two walked. When they got to a set of large doors Logan opened the doors they saw several people sitting at a large dinner table. One was a guy with short brown hair who was wearing a pair of red sunglasses. Another was a woman who had long red hair. There was also a bald man in a wheel chair. Next to him stood a woman who had dark skin and long white hair. Next to her a larger man. Next to him was a woman who brown hair that was white in the front. Next to her was a woman who had long turquoise hair.
"So you're awake." said the bald man. "How do you feel?"
"Professor there's a problem." said Logan. Shawn was had been walking behind him looking at the ground up until now. Then when the two took a few more steps Shawn collapsed. At that all of the people went towards him to check if he was okay. Logan turned him around and saw Shawn was still crying even while unconcious. Then he checked his pulse and noticed Shawn's pulse was weak. The red headed woman placed a hand on his head and closed her eyes.
"I sense nothing but sorrow in his mind." said the woman.
"Can you find why Jean?" asked the guy with sunglasses.
"I'll tell ya Scott." said Logan. "His family was killed."
"What?" asked the others in shock.
"But why did he collapse?" asked the woman with part white hair.
"He collapsed because he hasn't eaten in days." said Jean as she opened her eyes. "He ran away when he found out and has been surviving by stealing small bits of trash restaurants Rogue."
"But then how did he end up crashing here?" asked man who had a russian accent.
"He flew." said Jean in surprise. "He flew in sorrow and so he went none stop. That's why he lose conciousness. He hasn't eaten anything."
"Then perhaps we should start at feeding him when he awakens." said the woman with all white hair.
"There's a problem with that Ouroro." said Jean. "The same thought is repeating in his mind. He blames himself for it and with that I doubt he'll eat."
"Poor kid." said Rogue placing a gloved hand on his cheek.
*End flashback*
"After that I lived with them for a few weeks." said Shawn. "For a short time they wondered if I was mutant to which I told them I wasn't. I told them some of me being the Elemental of fire but as it was I barely ate anything I would lose conciousness very easily." Shawn looked and noticed many of the Cures looking sad. A few had even started crying.
"A few weeks after a man went to the mansion and explained he had been a friend of my father's and that he wanted him to train me because they knew of what I was and that I'd need to be trained. So I went to live with him and I was trained and taught by him. For the first year we worked on my temper and personal issues. Mainly my anger issues. To deal with that he had me learn violin and I got very good at it. I also learned how to play the piano, the flute, and percussion. In doing so I gained a bit more control of myself and my powers. A few months during the second year took me to train in magic by our universe's Sorcerer Supreme. Dr Stephen Strange. He taught me sorcery and a number of other things including a lot about charms and curses as well as magical combat. I stayed with him for a few months before returning. Then I was taken to San Francisco where I was taken in by the Charmed Ones. The Halliwell sisters. From them I learned the more complex things about Sorcery and the basics of witchcraft. After a few months I returned with Master Aldian and things were about the same. However one day I was to go and get the groceries but when I returned that day there had been a break in. My Master was found dead. So I was eight going on nine and gonna be alone again. It was then a man contacted me and told me that there was something I was to recieve if anything happened to Master Aldian that was from my father. From when he married my mother my father had been sending money to have a home built in Fuyuki. I went there and saw the home. It was a large house with about three floors, an attic and basement, and five sub levels. I was also told that there had been an account set up from which all the bills would be automatically paid. Other than that I was gonna have to pay for anything additional myself."
"That must have been some trouble." said Yuri.
"A bit more than you'd think. Not even ten, living alone, and having to survive on my own. And let's face it. It's not like anyone would hire a kid for anything so I did the only thing I could think of."
"Which was?" asked Ako.
"I set up a website with several encryptions and firewalls and began doing the only job I could really do." explained Shawn.
"Again which was?" asked Ako.
"I became an assassin." replied Shawn.
"An assassin?" asked most of the Cures in shock. Shawn nodded.
"I also set a set a rules in the site. First off regardless of when they want a target dead I need a week to do recon. If the person does deserve it then I take the job. Otherwise I turn them down." explained Shawn. "So far I've only killed people who are considered bad guys. Anyway about a year later I was contacted by someone I never expected."
"Who?" asked Love.
"S.H.I.E.L.D." replied Shawn. "They'd been keeping tabs on me and had a job they wanted me to do. I accepted and was given a few tools. After that job S.H.I.E.L.D. offered me a position as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent but I turned them down and told them I'd rather stay a free lancer. As such they offered me something else. So long as I took jobs from S.H.I.E.L.D. I'd have a full pardon for anyone I took out so long as it wasn't anyone important. In that time I had been trying to put a car back together. I finished a few months later. One night I was driving back to Fuyuki from Tokyo when I heard the sound of glass breaking." At that Shawn turned to Taylor who nodded.
"I guess that makes it my turn." said Taylor. "Well my life was pretty simple with one exception. When I was young I was sick a lot. The doctor's didn't give me past the age of four but I was still alive at eight. Anyway one day a man broke into our home wanting to take something from my dad. My dad wouldn't tell him and so he killed both my parents. He was about to kill me when..."
*Flashback*
An eight year old Taylor was on the floor looking at a man who had a gun aimed for her. She was terrified and began to feel a pain in her chest which caused her to start losing conciousness. All she heard was gunshots.
Two days later
She was opening her eyes and wondered where she was. She saw she was in a hospital bed and turned. A nurse was about to check on Taylor when she saw the girl was awake. Taylor looked and saw she was hooked up to a machine.
"Where am I?" asked Taylor.
"You're in Fuyuki General Hospital." said the Nurse. "You were brought in by that young man." she said looking at Shawn who was asleep on a chair.
*End flashback*
"I was still out of it but I realized that something was different about me." continued Taylor. "It wasn't until Nii-san took me home that began understanding so I asked."
*Flashback*
"I must thank you for saving me but what what did you do to me?" asked Taylor.
"What do you mean?" asked Shawn.
"I mean I was dying." said Taylor.
*quick interuption*
"What?" yelled out most of the Cures.
"I think you should elaborate." said Shawn.
"Right." said Taylor. "When I was born I was diagnosed with Leukemia and so I was only given to the age seven to live. After he saved me I no longer felt weak or anything."
*Back into the flashback*
"Really? Never would've guessed." said Shawn.
"You did something to me and I am grateful you cured me but I have a right to know." said Taylor.
"Look I don't wanna tell you because you might take it the wrong way." said Shawn.
"Try me." said Taylor.
"Alright go look at your neck in the bathroom mirror." said Shawn. "It's the door over there." he said pointing to a yellow door.
"Fine." said Taylor. She went in and turned her neck. There she saw two puncture wounds. "What is that?"
"Well I did notice you were sick on the way here and I did the only thing I could think of to save you." said Shawn.
"So what did you do?" asked Taylor.
"I bit you." replied Shawn as his K9s became sharp.
"You're a vampire?" asked Taylor in shock.
*Another interuption*
"You're a vampire?!" yelled out all the Cures.
"Please stop interupting." said Shawn causing all the Cures to calm down.
*Back in*
"No." replied Shawn. "I'm a Dhamphir. I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea but I couldn't just let you die."
"I guess I should be grateful but what do I do now? Just go out at night to drink blood?" asked Taylor.
"There's something you really need to know." said Shawn. "First of all yes Vampires are real but some of the myths about them. That and that a long time ago there was a kind of meeting among some of the highest vampire clans and there was an explosion or something. Anyway long story short those clans evolved into two new classes of vampires. The first was a kind that became much more dangerous. They became known as Night Stalkers. The second is what we are. Daywalkers. Simply put we're more human and don't really have the thirst. However in order to survive we have to eat more than humans do."
"So I'm like you now?" asked Taylor.
"Not quite. It still takes 72 hours for you to completely turn." replied Shawn.
*End flashback*
"So three days later I wound up turning completely and found it really fun." finished Taylor.
"So then what happened?" asked Tsubomi.
"Well he also explained to me what had happened and when they were gonna have the funeral for my parents he took me there. I made peace and resolved to become strong enough to be able to become protect other so they wouldn't have to feel the pain I felt." explained Taylor. "So I asked him to train me but he kept refusing. Eventually though he agreed."
"Yeah because she wouldn't even let me sleep." added Shawn. "Anyway she was already living with me so I asked Colonel Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., to help us out and he was able to push the papers.
"So what was your original surname?" asked Yuri.
"Powers." replied Taylor. "And I know you might be thinking I changed it to hide or ashamed but that's not it at all. I changed it to match Nii-san's because I felt as though the old me had died and was reborn. I try to honor my family by fighting those who would cause pain."
"Wow." said Itsuki. By now the Cures had finally noticed Kimiko had left.
"Hey weren't we gonna here about all of you?" asked Erika.
"Kinda." replied Shawn. "But later on. You see she only came to help explain about the project we were a part of. In any case that's the main part of who and what we are as well as why we are the way we are."
"So if I may ask why did you want to tell us about yourselves first?" asked Yuri.
"Well out of all of us I'm the one who has the most issues so I thought it would help the team if you understood why." explained Shawn. "I was also hoping this could help us grow closer as a team."
"I see." said Yuri with a smile. "I believe it will and perhaps we should thank you."
"For what?" asked Shawn.
"It couldn't have been easy for to tell us about such a painful past. I know I would've had a much harder time." replied Yuri.
"Well that's why we're a team isn't it?" asked Shawn. "We back each other up and stand together. And if we're gonna fight this threat we'll need all the strength we can get."
"Agreed." said Honoka walking up to the two siblings before she hugged them. Then the other Cures joined.
"Alright you're starting make me regret tell you this." said Shawn.
"Just go with it." said Taylor with a smile causing Shawn to smile as well.
Author's Note
Sorry if this chapter was boring but I wanted to explain a few things about Shawn and Taylor. I'm also not gonna have them talk about the past of the others since that would make the story kinda boring. I'm gonna spend some time skipping stuff from them being in school since there won't be a lot of significant stuf happening there I know Pretty Cure isn't the most popular anime and as such doesn't have many readers here on fanfiction but if you took the time to read this thank you and if you have any questions you can PM me or just ask in a review.
