Previously on Part 1: Utau and her friends have travelled to Tokyo to participate in the upcoming Tokyo Special Live, and meet a girl named Asahina Mirai, who reveals herself to be a Pretty Cure! Just before the Tokyo Special Live begins, the Pretty Cure All Stars are sucked into a mysterious portal where they are taken to a place called the Stage of Dreams. They are greeted by the host, Tristesse, who tells the Pretty Cure All Stars to show off their singing talent. After the Max Heart team performed, Tristesse meets them backstage, where she reveals her true intentions - to steal the beautiful and powerful voices of Pretty Cure in order to complete her dark magic!
"Nagisa-senpai's and her friends' concert was incredible!" I said happily, still dancing from the song. Hey, it was catchy and cute, and all three of them sang amazingly.
"I can't wait to sing and dance with my best friends!" Kiyomi laughed, and I noticed she, like me, hadn't stopped dancing. Go figure.
Just then, two girls ran up to us. One girl had short orange hair in a short ponytail and hazel eyes, and the other girl had long purple hair with some of it tied up into a small bun and purple eyes. Mirai told me that these two girls were Hyuuga Saki and Mishou Mai of the Splash Star team.
"Do you know where Nagisa-chan is?" Saki asked, with a little bit of concern in her voice. I immediately realised she was worried, and I also realised that Nagisa and the others hadn't returned yet.
"Sorry, Saki-chan," Mirai apologised. "But we've got no idea. Maybe they're taking a break? Maybe they have to stay backstage?"
"Don't worry, Hyuuga-san," Hitomi said gently. "If we see Misumi-senpai as well as the other Max Heart Cures, we'll let you know."
Saki seemed to calm down, but there was suddenly a blur of blue appearing on her shoulder. "I have a bad feeling about this," the creature said. Mirai told me that this creature was Flappy, Saki's fairy partner.
"I know," Cadence agreed, flying up so she was face-to-face with Flappy. "Something's just not right here."
"Okay, everyone!" Tristesse gave us a dazzling smile as she walked back onto the stage. "The Max Heart team was great, weren't they? Now, the next three performances will feature the Splash Star, Yes! 5 and Fresh team."
Nozomi then quickly stood up. "It's finally our turn!" She squealed happily. "I can't wait to perform!"
"We need to be careful, Nozomi," a girl sitting beside her said. She had short brown hair and brown eyes, and judging by her appearance, she was probably the brawns and badass of her team. Mirai told me that this girl was Natsuki Rin of the Yes! 5 team. "Just in case something bad happens."
"It's finally time for me to show off my dancing skills!" A girl not far away from us laughed. She had hazel-coloured hair in high twin tails and hazel eyes, and wore mainly pink clothes. Mirai told me that this girl was Momozono Love of the Fresh team.
One by one, the three teams (in Cure form) performed songs called "Yes! Pretty Cure Smile ~Toward the Dream~", "Tomorrow, A Flower Will Bloom. Your Smile Will Bloom.", and "Fresh Pretty Cure Sun Child". Just like with the Max Heart song, I couldn't stop dancing along.
(After the performances, the three teams (in civilian form) went backstage, and Saki took a look around.
"I wonder if Nagisa-chan's here," she asked herself, but suddenly, a strange purple mist began to surround the girls, and each of them fell to the ground, their voices and energy gone.
"Sorry for this sudden turn of events," Tristesse smiled evilly and snapped her fingers, and the ground beneath the Cures once again opened up, and they fell straight through.")
"This is a wonderful concert so far," Kotone said, and Riko and Kotoha agreed, but I noticed that Cadence had a look of concern on her face.
"The performers haven't come back yet," Hitomi pointed out, and I realised she was right. "Admittedly, I'm getting worried and there's most likely something wrong."
"Okay, everyone!" Tristesse said into her microphone as she held up a palm card. "We're all getting tired of waiting for me to decide the next teams between every three performances, huh? Well, the next six teams to perform will be the HeartCatch, Suite, Smile, DokiDoki, Happiness Charge and Go! Princess!"
"Eh?" Haruka managed before starting to freak out even more than Erika did, and a girl with long curly red hair and red eyes who had the image of a princess tried to calm her down. Mirai told me that this girl was Akagi Towa of the Go! Princess team.
When Haruka finally calmed down, the six teams went on stage and performed the songs "Heart Seed", "Door of Dreams", "Laugh, just laugh, let's laugh ", "Treasure", "Happiness is the password ~Yes! Happiness Charge!~", and "Conditions of Being a Princess", which I loved again.
"Utau," Cadence said, trying to get my attention, and I turned my attention to her. To my shock, she had a terrified look on her face! "Mofurun and I have been talking, and we believe that something is definitely wrong."
"Suddenly being teleported to the Stage of Dreams is pretty suspicious," Mirai murmured, obviously thinking about this like a Pretty Cure should, and then it hit me.
"Tristesse is also super suspicious," I realised. "What if her intentions are actually bad, and this isn't the Stage of Dreams, but a Stage of Doom?"
Riko smiled at me proudly. "Now you're learning to be a Pretty Cure," she told me, and couldn't help but blush in appreciation.
"Be quiet, everyone!" Kiyomi snapped, and when we all looked at her in confusion, she pointed to backstage. "Can't you hear that? There's a weird song playing."
We did, and I was shocked to hear that Kiyomi was right! There was a song playing, no, it was multiple songs being sung by a chorus of voices! Although all the voices were completely different, the songs fit together perfectly like a single song. However, I felt like I heard those voices somewhere.
Just then, Tristesse walked onto the stage. "Sorry for that inconvenience," she apologised. "Now, the next team to perform will be the Mahou Tsukai team! Good luck, you three!"
Mirai, Riko and Kotoha then stood up, and Mirai smiled as she handed Mofurun to me. "If something happens backstage," she began. "Promise me that you girls will come help us."
I nodded, and Mirai, Riko and Kotoha went on stage and changed into their Cure forms, and performed "DREAM ARCH", which was such a great song. Those three are totally idol materials, I thought happily.
(After the performance, Mirai, Riko and Kotoha (in civilian form) went backstage, where Tristesse was waiting for them.
"What an amazing performance!" Tristesse said, flashing the girls a dazzling smile. But her smile faltered when she saw how serious the girls looked.
"Where are our senpai Pretty Cures?" Riko asked sternly. "You must have done something to them!"
Tristesse looked a little shocked, but her mouth quickly stretched into an evil smile. "I'm impressed," she admitted. "You are one of the most recent teams, but you were the first to discover me. But it's too late now!"
She then held out the small bottle, and the strange purple mist appeared again, and Mirai, Riko and Kotoha lost both their voices and their energy. As they fell through the ground that opened up beneath them, the doors burst open.
"Stop right there, Tristesse!" Four voices resonated together, and Tristesse looked up, and saw the faces of the newest team, the Idol Star team, all glaring at her.)
Hitomi, Kiyomi, Kotone and I all glared at Tristesse. I was shocked, don't get me wrong, but on top of that I was furious. How dare she steal my senpai Pretty Cures' voices for her own selfish desires!
Tristesse smiled evilly. "It's not your turn yet, ladies," she cackled. "But now that you're here, it doesn't matter. I'll just have to take your voices like I did with your precious senpai Pretty Cures!"
"Never!" I shouted, and we held up our Star Cards. "We are idols, but we're Pretty Cure too, and we will protect our voices and rescue the others, and now, it's time for you to enjoy the show!"
The four of us inserted our transformation Star Cards into the slots of our Idol Bracelets, and we shouted out "Pretty Cure, Live Start!". We turned the rainbow dials on our Idol Bracelets at the same time, and our transformations began. Our hair grew longer and turned bright pink, light blue, platinum blonde and lavender, and we ran into three large cards, and our shirts, skirts and shoes appeared. I held my arms out, and ribbons appeared on my arm protectors, and I tapped my feet together, which caused frill garter-like segments to appear on my socks. Hitomi placed her feet on a puddle of water, which caused ripples to be formed, and those ripples moved upwards while surrounding her body, which caused any extra parts of her outfit to be formed. Kiyomi twirled around, which caused herself to be set on fire, and extra parts of her outfit were formed. Kotone snapped her fingers, which caused electricity to surround her, and extra parts of her outfit were formed. I then tapped my chest, which caused a red bow with a golden emblem on it to appear, and I struck a pose. Hitomi put her hands over her chest, and took her hands away again, forming her bow and emblem, and and struck a pose. Kiyomi snapped her fingers to light her hand on fire, and she then placed her hand on her chest, which caused the emblem and bow to be formed, and struck a pose. Kotone touched her chest to make the bow and emblem appear out of electricity, and struck a pose. The four of us then flew down from the sky, and landed on our feet.
"Hearts represent the melody of love!" I said as I did a series of movements. "Magically musical, Cure Harmony!"
"Diamonds represent the rhythm of hope!" Hitomi said as she did a series of movements. "Eternally musical, Cure Serenade!"
"Clovers represent the beat of happiness!" Kiyomi said as she did a series of movements. "Happily musical, Cure Operetta!"
"Spades represent the song of courage!" Kotone said as she did a series of movements. "Specially musical, Cure Concert!"
Standing in a straight line with only our backs seen, the four of us each turned around as we shouted a phrase. "With the power of song residing in our hearts," we shouted together, and then raised our right arms to the sky. "Our beautiful voices will resonate forever!" We then struck our final poses. "Idol Star Pretty Cure!"
"Double Pretty Cure Punch!" I shouted with Operetta as we moved together to punch Tristesse.
"Double Pretty Cure Kick!" Serenade and Concert yelled as they went to kick Tristesse together.
But before we could punch/kick Tristesse, she snapped her fingers and suddenly, the ground beneath us opened up, and we all fell through, screaming as we plummeted into darkness.
"Ow," I muttered. I looked around, and found that we had landed in a world of darkness. I quickly scanned myself for injuries, and thankfully, I was still in Cure form and had no injuries, just a few scratches.
Operetta from behind me asked where we were, but suddenly, Tristesse appeared again. The bottle containing the voices was strung around her neck, and she smiled evilly as purple magic gathered around her.
"Welcome, Idol Star Pretty Cure!" She boomed. "To my world of dark magic, where you shall meet your doom!"
"Where are our senior Pretty Cure warriors?" Concert asked, trying to hide her anger, but she wasn't doing a very good job of it.
Tristesse raised her hand and the four of us took a stance as if we were preparing to fight, but she pointed behind us. We turned around, and saw them. Looks of shock formed on our faces as we saw the unconscious Pretty Cure All Stars!
"No!" I cried, running to Mirai and tried to shake her awake. "Mirai-chan! Mirai-chan, wake up! Please!" Tears were streaming down my face as I tried to wake up my friend.
I heard another cry, and saw Operetta trying to wake up Kotoha, and Concert was trying to wake up Riko. I saw tears shining in Concert's eyes, and Operetta wouldn't stop shouting at Kotoha to wake up.
"Why are you doing this?" I heard Serenade ask, her voice a small whisper. "Hurting our senpai Pretty Cures this way… that's just horrible!"
"You want to know why?" Tristesse cackled. "I want to fill the worlds with despair, but in order to do that, I needed to steal the voices of Pretty Cure that hold so much power!"
Operetta whispered that Tristesse was so cruel, and I stood up. I no longer felt sorrow for the Pretty Cure All Stars, but instead, I felt anger building up inside me. "The only way to save the Pretty Cure All Stars," I growled. "Is to get back their voices!"
I saw Operetta and Concert rise, and the three of us stood next to Serenade, and as our respective elements formed in our hands, we began attacking Tristesse. But to our shock, Tristesse used her magic to block our attacks!
"We can't give up now!" Concert yelled at us as Tristesse kept cackling. "We have to save our senior warriors!"
(As Tristesse and the Idol Star team continued to fight, Cadence looked at the audience (which is us).
"Alright, everyone, listen up!" She said, holding up a Miracle Light. "We need to help the Pretty Cure All Stars! Wave your Miracle Song Lights! Hurry!"
All the mascots who have previously helped the Pretty Cure All Stars began waving their Miracle Song Lights, and as they did, Mirai slightly opened her eyes and watched the Idol Star team fight.
The idols are supposed to be performing in the Tokyo Special Live, Mirai thought. I have to get them there. I'll do anything.
She stood up, and to her surprise, the rest of the Pretty Cure All Stars stood up as well. Although they couldn't talk, they were all thinking the same thing: the desire to get the idol Pretty Cures to the Tokyo Special Live.
"Okay, everyone!" Mofurun shouted to the audience, waving her own Miracle Song Light. "Wave your Miracle Song Lights more! Help the Pretty Cure All Stars!")
I couldn't believe it. The Pretty Cure All Stars. They couldn't speak, but they knew what the others were thinking. They all worked so well together that I couldn't wait until I could join their ranks.
All of a sudden, there was a breaking sound, and I turned around - to find the bottle containing the voices had broken! There was a rainbow-coloured light as the voices returned to their rightful owners. I watched them all transform into their Cure forms, and I smiled in pride at the Pretty Cure All Stars.
Cure Miracle then walked up to me, and she was being followed by the other pink Cures. "Ready to join us, Cure Harmony?" Miracle asked teasingly. "After this battle, you're going to join us as an official Cure leader."
I smiled, and nodded enthusiastically. The twelve of us then jumped up, and I saw all our respective elements combine. "Pretty Cure Dreaming Harmony!" We shouted, and sent the elements to Tristesse, who managed to block herself. However, the blue, yellow and purple/red teams had also combined their powers, and the shield around Tristesse broke.
When the Pretty Cure All Stars had landed, there were sparkles appearing around us, and all of a sudden, our appearances changed! Our outfits had turned white, we each gained golden tiaras and gained angel-like wings. I knew immediately what form this was: Sparkle Form. The pink Cures and I all joined hands and surrounded Tristesse, while the others floated above us.
"The reason why a Pretty Cure's voice is so beautiful and powerful," I told Tristesse. "Is because it must be used to fill a person's heart with love and joy. It grants people peace forevermore when a Pretty Cure sings."
Tristesse faltered, and then put her hands over her heart. "I was wrong," she admitted. "I… I'm sorry. I thought a Pretty Cure's voice is meant for power, not for peace."
"It's despair from the past that allows everyone to have hope for the future," Cure Sparkle Miracle said to her with a smile. "It's amazing how a Pretty Cure's voice works."
Tristesse nodded, then turned to me. "Is it okay?" She asked with a hopeful voice. "That I could attend the Tokyo Special Live and watch you and the Idol Star team perform. I haven't seen it yet."
I smiled. "Of course you can!" I told her happily. "Everyone's welcome!" And that's when everything turned bright.
("It's as if time stopped when we went to the Stage of Dreams," Mirai laughed when the Pretty Cure All Stars had returned to the Tokyo Special Live.
"It truly was a Stage of Dreams," Riko agreed, but then Kotoha hushed everyone as she pointed to the stage, because it was finally time for the Idol Star team to perform. The Pretty Cure All Stars watched eagerly as the four girls began singing and dancing, and everyone couldn't help but dance along to the song.)
