And we have four cures now, yay?!
For some reason he didn't understand, Sagino's blood was boiling with anger, pure hatred when he looked at Cure Alien.
''What? How?'' Orlok looked around as If he could find an answer that way, Alien, still standing in front of the other Two Cures turned around.
''Go after your friend! I'll hold these two off!'' She commanded, clasping her hands together while pointing her index fingers towards Karasu, aiming carefully to not hit Sagino.
''Pretty Cure! Alien Zap!''
Blood and Wolf could only hear a few clashes and groans after Alien's attack, they took this moment to quickly jump from roof to roof, beginning to search for Frank and Miku.
Karasu had only just in time managed to create a barrier of crows before Alien's zap hit him.
''So, Cure Alien...'' He began slowly as he summoned another flock of crows to attack the green Cure, she immediately started hitting and kicking the crows away as fast as she could, meanwhile Karasu silently gestured Sagino to go after Cure Blood and Cure Wolf, the scientist ran after them surprisingly fast while looking at the device in his hands.
Quite impressed how quickly she had gotten the hang of her powers, Karasu tried to build up some power in order to summon a big crow.
After reusing ''Alien Zap'' a few times, Alien noticed how tired she was getting but she refused to complain.
She would prove her brother that she could fight.
She would make him proud!
With a big grin, Karasu was able to summon a big crow, which he used to pick up Alien and throw her across the city, causing her to land against the wall of a rather high building far away from the hide-out.
Karasu took his moment to go back inside and make the wall invisible, now that the Cures knew where they were, they had to move.
Cure Alien had already transformed back before she even hit the ground.
She was so tired.
And everything hurt.
Tomoko signed, lying on the ground.
Maybe she had been too careless...
Maybe her brother was right...
Getting her Hollow Changer in her hands she murmured ''Sorry, Pretty Cure...Sorry, brother''
Op: 'Halloween Night' by Aya Ikeda
Episode 19: Aah! The Bride of Frank!?
Blood and Wolf didn't saw any signs of Frank nor Miku but they did eventually run into something else.
''Oh my! You Guys! Something exiting happened!'' Wisp flew into Blood's face, surprising the Cure and causing her to trip over her very own feet and fall into some bushes.
The group had arrived in a street to find Wisp, Larry, Zeta, Hotaru and Kabocha, all with various expressions on their faces.
''Is Andromeda...?'' Zeta asked quietly, looking at the other two Cures, Wolf jumped in front of him as she picked Larry up.
''Cure Alien, she helped us..'' She looked rather uncomfortable, trying to avoid Zeta's eyes while also somehow trying to hide behind Larry.
Zeta frowned nervously.
He didn't want his sister to be a Cure.
He didn't want her to be in danger...
Zeta signed, clasping his long hands together, hoping she would be fine by herself.
He should have gone with her.
''What happened? Why is Annie a Cure?'' Jacky asked hopping in front of Zeta.
''We saw Frank, he gave us this...'' Larry was the one who answered pointing to something Hotaru was holding in her hands, she slowly held it up.
It was Miku's Hollow Changer.
''Why did he do that?'' Blood stared at the purple necklace Hotaru had handed over to her.
''And why didn't you try to stop him? He has Miku!'' Wolf shouted surprisingly loud, startling Hotaru and Zeta a little.
''Calm down, he was too fast, he just threw this to us and said ''choose another Cure'' Kabocha answered, with a very audible, bitter undertone.
''He also said that you were in danger and told us you were there...and then...my sister just decided to try to transform to help you! And you just leave her there!?'' Zeta was getting really furious now, Wisp tried to calm him down with her soothing voice only for him to push her (and Jacky) away with his arms.
''She asked us to go after Frank, she said she would be alright!'' Blood argued, crossing her arms while she jumped on a nearby roof without waiting for Zeta to react.
''Come on, Wolf''
''...A-alright...'' Wolf put Larry down and followed Blood, leaving the others alone and somewhat confused.
Orlok quickly decided to go after the two.
Since it was Sunday, school was closed, yet that wasn't a problem for Frank, he had just broken the gates and doors, while still carrying an unconscious Miku on his back.
He had climbed up some stairs and more stairs till he had finally arrived at the school-roof.
Laying Miku down on the ground and sitting himself next to her, hoping she would awake soon.
When jumping from roof to roof, Blood and Wolf had noticed Sagino standing in front of the school, the school-gate was broken.
''I knew you were here'' Sagino didn't seem to notice the two as he was talking, loudly, while staring at the sky.
Frank appeared from behind the fence on the roof, he stared at Sagino with an unreadable expressions.
Sagino held up the device ''This handy little thing can track you down and also...''
He pressed one of the buttons and Frank instantly felt an electrifying pain from his neck, quickly growing around his whole body.
Letting out a loud, painful cry while he started twitching rather violently.
His cry caused Miku to wake up, she rose up in a quick movement, confused yet shocked at her current situation as well her location.
''Frank? What...What's going on here?'' She asked, not really sure what to think when she saw Frank sit somewhat limply on the ground, Miku slowly approached him and touched his shoulder but no reaction come from the boy.
''Stop this nonsense, Boy! What are you even doing? Just, Come down!'' Sagino yelled, letting go of the button for a short time, waiting for Frank to answer.
He really was curious. What did he think to get out of all this?
Why did he even take that girl?
Why did he take her here?
''I love her!'' Frank suddenly cried dramatically, startling Miku which caused her to fall backwards.
''EEH?!'' Wolf roared grabbed her head, accidentally hurt it with her claws, Blood and Sagino, in a rare moment, found themselves looking at each other in similar confused expressions.
''What!? But...but we barely know each other...and uh...we're kinda enemies'' Miku didn't know he felt that way about her...
She actually had kind-of liked him at first but in a 'fun friend to laugh with' kind of way, If he hadn't been on Sagino's side, she would have gladly accepted him as a friend.
But it was too late for that now.
Miku sat up again and started to search for her necklace and quickly noticed it was gone.
''Please...Miku...Frank love...'' Frank quickly embraced her in a tight grip while another sharp pain ran across his body.
''Love...me''
Miku started to feel really sorry for him, he sounded so desperate.
''Sorry...I don't...but If you want...I can help you...'' She didn't really know what to say as carefully tried to get him to let her go but his only caused him to hold her tighter.
''NO, MIKU LOVE FRANK, PLEASE LOVE FRANK'
Blood took initiative by kicking Sagino and trying to get the device out of his hands, his time Sagino decided to hit back and he was surprisingly strong.
Or maybe Blood was surprisingly weak.
Looking at the sky, she noticed the bright sunlight staring down at her.
It was annoying. Tiring, even.
''Wolf, I'll get the others, you help Blood'' Orlok quickly whispered in Wolf's ear, surprising the girl who hadn't noticed that the bat had followed them.
It took a while for Wolf to nod and help Blood by grabbing Sagino in a choke hold, however Sagino revealed he was still holding the needle which he threw in Wolf's direction, just barely missing her and instead getting stuck in the gate.
Blood groaned when she saw the gate had gotten two mouths instead of one.
So this was another 'Futakuchi'?
The two Cures started attacking the creature, hoping to find its weak point quick.
It was a weird time to have these thoughts but Orlok noticed how easy flying had become for him, he soared through the skies trying to spot some familiar faces (he did saw Yuina's mother walking through the street If he saw it correctly), he finally noticed Tomoko sitting in the corner of a side-street.
''Andromeda? What's wrong? Are you alright?'' He approached her, quite worried, Tomoko was visible startled by the bat.
''Orly...I'm sorry, I used too much power and now I can't transform back'' She whimpered, Orlok wasn't used to her sounding so sad.
''My brother would be so angry and disappointed...''
While he was mostly calm, Zeta could be very scary when angered.
He remembered Larry had found that out the hard way when they all had just become Cures.
Orlok sat on her lap, searching for something (motivating) to say to her. ''Andromeda, we really need you! You did great back there!''
''Better than your brother to be honest'' He added quickly while holding up his paw, it was true though.
''You're just saying that to make me feel better...''
''No, it's really true, Zeta was terrible at first, Larry absolutely hated him at first because he would always miss when attacking'' Orlok found himself smiling when thinking back at those times.
They had been really fun.
And he was just so glad to have those memories.
They were so precious to Orlok, he wouldn't want to exchange them for anything.
''Boo Boo Bogey! Monster Change!'' Tomoko suddenly yelled when she jumped up, causing Orlok to fall off her lap.
However nothing happened.
''I don't seem to have enough strength...''
She really should not have spammed her attack and wasted so much power.
''Andromeda, you want to help Yuina and Wakaba right?''
''Yeah, they seem nice, I don't really know them that well...''
''They also didn't knew each other at first and look at them now!''
''They're inseparable, just like you and the previous cures...'' Tomoko smiled, remembering how often her brother would tell (or better said, complain) about training If he happened to be home, he was mostly around the other Cures.
Tomoko somehow gained the courage and fighting will again, she would get just as close with those girls as Zeta had done with his comrades.
''Boo Boo Bogey! Monster Change!''
This time something did happen.
''MIKU BE FRANK'S BRIDE!'' Frank looked totally out of his world to Miku, he was holding her by her shoulders and while shaking her quite wildly. Continuously yelling in her ears to 'love him' or to 'become his bride'.
Needless to say, it was scaring her a lot.
''MIKU MARRY FRANK''
She was slowly getting terrified.
''MIKU LOVE FRANK''
The way he looked at her.
It was just so frightening.
''Stop it...please'' She begged, quite shocked at how her voice was trembling.
He didn't seem to hear her and continued to shake her only to suddenly stop and staring deeply in her eyes.
The last straw was Frank trying to push his lips on her lips.
''STOP IT!''
Miku didn't really know what actually happened but somehow Frank was shoved through the fence by an incredibly strong force, causing him to landing on the ground with a dangerously cracking sound.
Only a moment after he had landed, Sagino grabbed him rougly by the arm and instantly disappeared, leaving the Cures to fight the Futakuchi.
''Miku!'' Wolf abandoned the fight and climbed up the roof to help her friend.
''Are y-you okay?'' She was quite shocked how pale Miku become, she stared at her hands with wide eyes.
''What did I do?''
''It's fine, you're safe now...'' Wolf embraced the girl, hoping to calm her down.
''WOLF! A LITTLE HELP?!'' They could hear Blood's voice call, sounding quite irritated.
Wolf took a short moment to reply Blood's cries and started randomly evading and attacking the Futakuchi.
What actually had they done to defeat the Futakuchi last time, they tried attacking together but Witch's staff had done something by itself again...
Blood signed, turning to Wolf
Maybe two was enough to defeat it?
Miku was looking around on the roof for her Hollow Changer, but she couldn't find it, maybe Frank had it...
Nononono.
That would be bad.
As If luck was on their side, again Cure Alien appeared by jumping on front of them, Orlok flying above her with a somewhat proud face.
Alien clasped her hands together and pointed at the Futakuchi, without saying a word Blood and Wakaba both put their hands on Alien's hands.
''Pretty Cure! Hallow Festa!''
The Futakuchi was engulfed in a bright, three-colored light and in a moment the school-gate was returned to its normal state and it wasn't broken anymore.
''Wow!'' Cure Alien seemed really surprised.
''Well done, Cure Alien!'' Blood congratulated her newest teammate while Orlok flew in front of them.
''Is everybody alright?''
Wolf climbed on the roof again and helped Miku down.
''Hehe, A lot happened today...You guys have a lot to explain...'' Miku forced a smile on her face yet it felt kinda awkward.
One by one the three transformed back to their human-forms, Yuina and Wakaba instantly felt tired again, they had been fighting a long time...
''Mi~! It's me Tomo! I'm a Cure too now~!'' Tomoko cheered and embraced Miku happily, staring at the shorter girl with her bright, big eyes.
''Hey, girls can I say something?'' Yuina interrupted the moment with a serious face, she held the little bat in her hands.
''I've decided to continue fighting, for you Orlok, for Halloween World and for this world, for my friends, my parents and everyone...I'm a Pretty Cure, a defender of life, I will fight with all of my power, no matter what it will cost me'' Yuina spoke, sounding very determined.
''You know what will probably happen eventually If we continue doing this, and If you want to quit, I respect that...'' She continued, staring at Wakaba and Miku.
After a silent, long moment both of them shook their heads at the same time.
''No, Yui'' Miku merely embraced Yuina, startling the latter.
''We will f-fight with you!'' Wakaba put her arms around the others, even pulling Tomoko in for a tight hug.
''And me too! Let's save everybody!'' Tomoko said, her smile had returned again.
''Because...we are Pretty Cure!'' They said in unison, holding up their Hollow Changers.
''Not so loud!'' Orlok whispered.
