East Meets West

by hatsudami

One day whilst patrolling, Damian comes across an interesting scene involving a mysterious girl who calls herself Cure Ruby. Fascinated by this girl, he does some research into the legendary Pretty Cure and discovers a world way beyond his. The question, what is a pretty warrior like this one doing in Gotham and why?

I have thought about this and decided to introduce the International Cures but place special emphasis on the American ones. Will expand on the American Cures introduced in Happiness Charge and also there are some OCs I introduced as well. The American Cures are as follows:

SPARKLING CRYSTALLITE PRECURE (The sempais of these bunch and Gotham's Precures. They are the oldest Precures of this lot and are both American and Japanese Precure at the same time. They are the American version of Precure 5 with elements of Smile Precure and MahouTsukai Precure due to the colors of the team and also the gemstone and magical motifs. Just like the original Futari Wa Cures, these ones are the ones front and center at most battles. They are also like the Sailor Senshi xD)

Rei- Cure Ruby (Red Precure and Leader of Sparkling Crystallite and the American Cures generally.) Hindi name is Durga

Ami- Cure Sapphire (Blue Precure) Hindi name is Ganga

Makoto- Cure Emerald (Green Precure) Hindi name is Bhumi

Minako- Cure Topaz (Yellow Precure) Hindi name is Radha

Usagi- Cure Garnet (Pink Precure) Hindi name is Piya

Hotaru- Cure Opal (Purple Precure. Yes Opal is the official sixth Ranger. Ironic that I named her after Sailor Saturn whom I based her off) Hindi name is Jigyasa

BOMBER GIRLS PRECURE (Texas' resident Precures. The girls in this team do not have official names but the team does. The girls' names were inspired by this post: post/109314558216/breakyoursoulapart-bomber-girls-pretty-cure-of though credit belongs to zakuro-onee-chan as this artiste on deviantart came up with those names before that Tumblr post was are similar in some ways to Happiness Charge and DokiDoki with bits of Heartcatch thrown in. Their motif is Westerns.)

Cure Sheriff – Erica (Blue and Leader of this team and second in command to Ruby)

Cure Rodeo- Chelsea (Pink)

Cure Feather- Lita (Yellow)

Cure Misty- Olivia (Purple) (I added an additional Cure)

ALOHA PRECURE (Hawaii's resident procures. They are similar to Splashstar as they have the nature motif.)

Cure Sunset- Ohana (Yellow)

Cure Wave- Olina (Blue)

SPACE FORCE PRECURE (Washington DC's resident precures. They share similarities with Maxheart. As their name implies, outer space is their motif)

Cure Meteor- Yuri (Pink)

Cure Comet- Chanel (Black)

MUSICA PRECURE (Another set of Japanese precures who would reside in Gotham as the sempai precures would have to train them. They share similarities with Suite Precure)

Cure Echo- Ayumi (White and Leader. She was the only Precure then that had no team till recently)

Cure Tempo: Anzu (Red)

Cure Bass: Nezumi (Green)

Cure Treble: Juri (Purple)

GO PRINCESS PRECURE (Metropolis' new Precures. Originally they were Japanese Precure but then moved to America)

Cure Flora- Haruka Haruno

Cure Mermaid- Minami Kaido

Cure Twinkle- Kirara Amanogawa

Cure Scarlet- Towa Akagi

STAR SPANGLED PRECURE (New Jersey's resident precures and the newbies on the block. They are similar to Fresh Precure. They use a chess motif)

Cure Queen- Melissa (Blue and Leader)

Cure Bishop- Kara (Red)

Cure Knight- Jessica (White)

Cure Pawn- Tara (Yellow)

General Precure Facts in this fic that are yet to be mentionned:

1 The American Cures differ from their Japanese counterparts as the Pink Cures are not the leaders on their teams except Princess Precure though they are also Japanese Precure

2 All the American Cures save for Sparkling Crystallite and Space Force got their powers from Blue, the same guy that gave Happiness Charge Precure (Japan's then resident cures 3 years ago) their powers.

3 There are more Japanese Precures though other countries are starting to get their own Cures.

4 Sparkling Crystallite often times do not regard themselves as Cures or even see themselves as Gotham's Cures due to Batman's presence but Bruce Wayne secretly acknowledges their strength and potential and regards them as Gotham's resident Cures but he does not say it out loud of course

5 Bomber Girls Precure chronologically in this verse are the second American Precure team, making them Happiness Charge's sempais technically.

6 Aloha Precure came in months after Happiness Charge

7 Sparkling Crystallite have been active for 3 years, the longest of all the American Cures and have been around since DokiDoki's time, making them and DokiDoki Precure their mates as they all awakened as Cures around the same time.

8 Cure Sword, Cure Beat, Cure Princess, Cure Passion, Cure Scarlet and Cure Ruby are all childhood friends

9 Happiness Charge Precure were the last international cures to be awakened.

10 Star Spangled Precure are the newest Cures as they awakened after MahouTsukai Precure

11 All five Azuna sisters bear a resemblance personality-wise to the Robins

Rei- a combination of Dick and Damian as she is the badass and hot-tempered yet very passionate and sweet leader and mama bear. She also shares similarities with Wonder Woman due to the influence of ancient mythology in her life in Rei's case, Hindu mythology

Ami- Tim as they are the smart guys on their respective teams and the quiet ones

Makoto- Jason Todd as they are both hot-blooded and often challenge their older siblings and other ones and are cocky

Minako Dick as she is the jokester

Usagi- Damian as she is the cute baby. Also has bits of Tim in her due to her adorkableness

Hotaru- Damian due to her past

12 Bomber Girls Precure are not sisters contrary to popular belief. They are childhood best friends. Ironically, they and their sempais the Azuna sisters attend the same school. You would see them in the next chapter

13 Aloha Precure are twins

14 Sparkling Crystallite Precure are the first team of Precure to have all team members be evil Cures at some point as their evil younger brother Opal brainwashed them with his magic and made them evil. Their parents at the cost of their lives freed them from Mahishasura's magic which brainwashed Opal and made her evil for a while and thus awakened their Precure powers. That is why Rei is the most hurt about their kingdom's destruction as she is the heir apparent and oldest child, yet she hides it or at least tries to. Instead she hides that pain with a fake smile, something that Dick Grayson is well known for doing at times. Plus Rei is cursed.

15 The Joker is infatuated with Cure Ruby much to Damian's, Ruby's and Harley Quinn's horrific dismay

16 Of all Batman villains, the Joker is the one the Cures, Ruby especially fear the most and for good reason

17 Damian has always been a fan of the Cures and cutesy stuff generally but hides it or at least tries to. He developed a crush on Ruby partly because she resembles Sailor Moon somewhat

18 Damian is nicer here as he had sort of outgrown most of his jerkish attitude though he is still snarky and still does his signature TT! The main reason why Damian changed is because Rei managed to tame him with her no nonsense attitude which reminds a lot of people of Bruce xD

19 Jason has also mellowed out here too but is still hotblooded and at times a jerk

20 Tim and Damian get along as well though they throw playful jabs at each other

21 Ironically All the girls share names with the Sailor Senshi xD. Their mother's Japanese name is Setsuna ironically and their father's would be Mamoru.

22 When Damian falls in love, he falls real hard

23 Emma loves writing and would like to be a novelist someday

24 Of all the Cures, Makoto and Usagi are the worst cooks and as a result, everyone bans them from the kitchen. Also Erica aka Cure Sheriff is even worse and has even poisoned her fellow Cures at one point without realizing it

25 Usagi is also called Cure Clumsy or as Damian would say, Cure Klutz because she knocks things over a lot. Ironically she is Sailor Moon personality-wise

26 Makoto has a bad sense of direction and as a result it is a good thing that Rei is their leader

27 Sparkling Crystallite Precure often challenge Fresh Precure to dance offs as they are the only other Precure team that focuses on dancing

28 Rei gets along with the rest of the Batfamily and surprisingly she and Bruce get along well, something that shocks everyone especially Damian. At first, Bruce was weary of her due to her and her sisters powers but out of respect for Damian who is in love with her, he tolerates the Azuna sisters and finds it adorable that his baby son is in love. The fact that they are similar to the Batkids also makes him like them a bit as he sympathizes with them but hides it. Also the fact that she helped tame Damian and make him a much better man has earned her the respect of the entire family. Even Damian acknowledges this.

29 Just like their Japanese counterparts, the American Lead Cures all have catch phrases.

Rei: Buzamada and also Do not Bullshit me. Urusai and Matakku counts as she would usually say this whenever the other Cures misbehave especially Erica

Erica: I can't believe this! (A nod to Nagisa aka Cure Black's tendency to say Areinai) and I sense with my tingling senses...

Ohana: Surf's up!

Yuri: Gotcha!

Ayumi: Chu!

Melissa: Super Dee Duper!

30 Yuri and Erica tends to steal stuff from Rei's wardrobe at times much to Rei's annoyance

31 Melissa has a tendency to trip over things and bash her head.

32 All the teams have fairies:

Sparkling Crystallite- Mimi and Sally

Bomber Girls Precure- Chu and Nu

Aloha Precure- Aloaha

Space Force- Starlight and Crystal

Musica- Gureru and Enen

Star-Spangled- Chichi and Menet

33 All villains fear the Cures as they know how powerful they are especially together. Some of the girls can fight without their powers but still transform as they are more powerful with their magical abilities hence why most villains try to depower them by stealing or trying to destroy their transformation devices and separating all of them as they know that when all the Cures are together, they are one force to be reckoned with. Even when their transformation devices get destroyed, they will still regain their powers back thanks to magic and the faith humanity has placed in not just them but other heroes as well.

34 All the fairies have vocal tics

35 Rei is an established actress in Japan whilst Minako is famous as a model over there who occasionally dabbles into acting. They also participate in Bollywood works at times

36 Ironically Rei and Urara aka Cure Lemonade have worked together in the past in a drama called Rambling Girls which co-stars some other Cures and the other Azunas

37 Makoto snores in her sleep

38 Usagi is scared of clowns thanks to the Joker

39 Damian is just as over the top and dramatic as Dick but hides it well.

40 Damian in this fic resembles Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond and is somewhat closer to Terry personality-wise

41 Damian got the sex talk from his brothers, Bruce and Clark earlier as they figured out his little crush on Rei. Bruce had a hard time dealing with it as he did not know how to approach it but the older Wayne kids, Alfred and Clark helped him, the reason being Damian's dark past

42 Damian's current ringtone is My Chick Bad by Ludacris as he wants to show off his beloved.

43 The following are the Leader Cure's theme songs:

Rei: Hot as Ice by Britney Spears. Circus also fits her too and ironically she and Dick Grayson share the same theme song xD no suprises, they are both drama queens. Also Castle by Halsey counts too as it fits her over the top personality which you would see later. Most Koda Kumi songs fit her too

Erica: Team by Iggy Azalea. Also Fighter by Christina Aguilera

Ohana: Watch out for dis by Major Lazer also Trini Dem Girls by Nicki Minaj

Ayumi: Rolling Girl by Hatsune Miku also Marionette by Ayumi Hamasaki

Melissa: Wham Bam by Clooney

44 Dick and Rei challenge each other to see who is the bigger diva of the two much to everyone else's chagrin. Damian joins in scaring the shit out Bruce no thanks to his spot on Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera impersonations. Damian can even hit crazy high notes, something that scares the shit out of everyone. Hmm...this headcanon just gave me a devious idea hehe.

45 All the Precures have obssesions with different Kpop and Jpop groups. Generally all the Cures, the Japanese ones especially like AKB48. Sparkling Crystallite love Wonder Girls, Bomber Girls love T-Ara, Musica like Kara, Space Force love Girls Day, Aloha like AOA, Princess Precure like f(x) and Star Spangled love Sistar. All American Precures generally love SNSD,4minute and 2NE1. The Batboys and Batgirls also love SNSD, 2NE1 and 4minute and Dick has a secret crush on Tiffany. Damian has a crush on Hyuna. For boybands, everyone loves Exo, Seventeen and BTS whilst the Jason loves Bigbang.

46 Damian has been taking dance lessons since he was little though he does it in secret as a result of his mother's harsh ways.

47 Rei is actually Mar'i Grayson but in a different context and is a combo of Wonder Woman and Mar'i Grayson with bits of Kory. She is more like Mar'i personality-wise to some extent as she is the only one that can tame Damian and put him in line which is why Damian fears her. Yup She would zap his ass xD. Also, she is like Wondie and Kori due to the mythological aspects of her backstory and the warrior princess aspects of things.

48 Hotaru and Rei both have elements of Sailor Saturn in them. You will find out why as you read on. Basically Sparkling Crystallite are the Outer Senshi somewhat

49 The Jewel Kingdom is called Maniraajy; Mani meaning gem and raajy meaning kingdom in hindi making the Azuna sisters partly Indian.
