Kamen Rider OOO and Suite Pretty Cure!
The Melody of Desire!
Chapter 15! Friends Forever! Blazing Wings of Friendship! Enter Cure Beat!
Greyish clouds were slowly gathering in the skies as the group consisting of Hibiki, Kanade, Ryan and Itsuko rushed through the streets of Kanon Town. Things had gone from bad to worse; even after stopping Minor Land's recent attempt to spread the Melody of Sorrow, they had gotten their hands on the Fairy Tones and all of the Notes contained inside each of them.
That included the many Notes the group had gotten during that unique day of the year when the Notes were abundant... making it incredibly likely that they had enough to complete their evil song. Also, because of this, Hibiki and Kanade could not transform into their alter-egos.
Hummy had run off somewhere, and our heroes were trying to find the kitten quickly. Hummy stopped in a nearby alleyway as a familiar looking portal was forming... showing Aphrodite, the Queen of Major Land.
Hummy explained what had happened with Siren and the Trio Minor stealing the Notes and Fairy Tones.
"All of the Notes were stolen..." Aphrodite whispered in a worried tone as she looked at Hummy. "...Hummy? Are you alright?" She asked as the Kitten nodded and smiled.
"I'm fine! I believe in Siren, so everything will be fine!" Hummy said. She and Aphrodite looked into each others' eyes for a few seconds before the Queen smiled softly.
"I understand... I wish you the best of luck with Siren," Aphrodite said softly. Hummy smiled and nodded and began running out of the alleyway to head off... just as a certain quartet arrived.
"Hummy! Where are you going?" Hibiki called out... but Hummy kept running.
"Hibiki. Kanade." Aphrodite's voice spoke as the four of them turned to see the ruler through the portal.
"Wow... what a beautiful woman..." Hibiki said in surprise.
"She looks like a Queen..." Kanade said as the pair quickly connected the dots.
"Wait... are you Aphrodite-sama?" The Pair asked in shock. Aphrodite smiled and nodded her confirmation.
"Yes, obviously this is the first time we've met of course..and you two...would you happen to be these Kamen Riders that Hummy told me about?" Aphrodite asked turning to Ryan and Itsuko. Ryan smiled and gave a short bow at the question.
"Yes, I am Kamen Rider OOO. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty," Ryan said calmly. He glanced over at Itsuko who, like Hibiki and Kanade, was a little in awe. Ryan smacked the back of his head to get him moving again.
"AH! Um... oh yes! I am Kamen Rider Birth... it's nice to meet you, Your Majesty," Itsuko said, rubbing the back of his head.
"I cannot thank you four enough for helping Hummy...but things are starting to get worse..all we can do now is believe in Hummy's friendship with Siren now," Aphrodite said in a quiet voice. The four heroes stood up straight, having bowed their heads to Aphrodite as she continued to speak.
"As long as Hummy continues to believe in her, I'm certain Siren will return back to normal," Aphrodite said. Ryan smiled softly at that. Friendship was a powerful but fragile force at times. And he knew perfectly well that Hummy's faith was well-earned.
"Believe in Siren..." Kanade repeated in a conflicted tone of voice.
"She's done so many horrible things... how can we believe in her...?" Hibiki continued as Ryan sighed.
"We have to believe in her, or at least believe in Hummy. I have a hunch that her faith in Siren isn't misplaced," Ryan added as Hibiki, Kanade and Itsuko looked at him. Aphrodite smiled.
"Thank you, Kamen Rider OOO... but let me ask this question to you both, Hibiki and Kanade...if one of you were to turn evil, would you stop believing in each other?" Aphrodite asked as Hibiki and Kanade glanced at each other.
"No, we would never stop believing," The Pair said in unison as Aphrodite nodded softly.
"That is correct. Hummy is just like that. So long as she keeps believing in Siren, those feelings will reach Siren's heart. No matter what." Aphrodite said softly.
Ryan nodded at those words and spoke up again. "You are correct of course, Your Highness...but for now we gotta prepare to do our part in stopping this. Hummy will need back up from her friends after all," Ryan said as the others nodded in agreement.
"Then I wish you all the best of luck, Pretty Cures and Kamen Riders..." Aphrodite said as the portal began to vanish. Ryan glanced at his friends and grinned.
"Alright! Now let's go rescue this world!" Ryan declared, raising his fist into the air.
"RIGHT!" Hibiki, Kanade and Itsuko answered with their own fists in the air.
[Opening Theme: Anything Goes by Maki Ohguro]
(You count the Medals! One two and three!
Life goes on! Anything Goes! Coming up OOO! )
We see OOO appearing in TaToBa Combo, then a split showing of Cures Melody and Rhythm!
Iranai motanai yume mo minai [Don't bother with dreams that are unnecessary or fleeting]
FUREE na joutai... sore me ii kedo [It's fine to be completely free]
We now see Ryan calmly walking through a beach, Hibiki walking through a street and Kanade through a field of Grass.
("It starts now" What you've been Waiting for
Count the Medals! One two and three!)
Ryan now sees a Taka Medal half buried in the sand and picks it up, while Hibiki finds a Tora Medal on the street and picks it up while Kanade finds a Batta Medal in the grass and picks it up too.
Unmei wa kimi hottokanai [You can't Ignore Fate]
Kekkyoku wa susumu shika nai [In the end, all you can do is keep moving forward]
("Mysterious turn of Events" Give me energy!
Count the Medals! One two and three!)
The Three are now back to back, holding each Medal.
Daijoubu! Ashita wa itsudatte Blank [It's okay! Tomorrow is always a Blank Slate]
Jibun no kachi wa jibun de kimeru mono sa [You're the one who determines what your worth is!]
We now switch to a scene of Ellen becoming Siren, Mephisto and the Trio Minor and finally, Queen Aphrodite, the Fairy Tones and Hummy.
The Scene then switches to Hibiki and Kanade holding their Cure Modules while Ryan scanned his Belt with the OOO Scanner.
("Let's Play! Precure...)
("Henshin!")
(...Modulation!")
The trio activate their Henshins at this point as the screen switches to Scorab the Black Greed hiding in the shadows with many Crustacean, Arachnid and Arthropod Yummies around him...before a faint image of Black Hole appears behind him.
(OOO! OOO! OOO! OOO! Come On!)
We now switch to Ryan transforming into OOO as well as Cure Melody and Rhythm performing their Passionato Harmony Finisher.
Anything Goes! Sono kokoro ga atsuku naru mono [Anything Goes! Fire up that heart,]
Mitasareru mono wo sagashite [Find something to Fulfill you.]
OOO and the Precure together begin fighting against monsters, OOO kicking and punching various Trash Yummies while Melody and Rhythm both drop kick a Negatone...before a brief moment shows Cure Muse standing on top of a building silently. Before Birth is seen leaning on a wall.
Life goes on! Honki dashite tatakau no naru [Life Goes On! Time to Get Serious!]
Makeru ki shinai hazu! [If you are going to Fight, then don't worry about losing!]
The Song Ends with OOO swinging the Medajalibur causing a dust cloud as the Taka, Tora and Batta Medals appear in view with the Fairy Tones around them.
(End Music)
Meanwhile, in Minor Land, Mephisto and the Trio Minor were busy creating the stage in the Human World for the Melody of Sorrow. At that same moment, Siren was singing, practicing for her part of the song.
"Hmm... I bet poor Hummy is off crying somewhere in despair," Siren chuckled to herself, or rather to the others, as behind her was a cage with the Fairy Tones inside.
"No, I believe Hummy is singing," Shiry, the Blue Fairy Tone, said. Siren glanced at them, confused by that. Why on Earth would she be singing?
"Huh? Why would she be singing?" Siren questioned, as she approached the cage holding the fairy tones. At the same time, Hummy was in a forest somewhere in the Human World singing.
"Hummy wants her feelings to reach you." Lary, the Light Blue Fairy tone, spoke. Siren looked at them for a moment before facing the window calmly, attempting to ignore them. Sory, the Green Fairy tone, spoke next.
"You care about her too, don't you?" Sory asked. Siren chuckled at that ludicrous question.
"Nope. No use in trying to convince me. Sorry to disappoint you all, but I hate Hummy. I don't care about her at all." Siren spoke calmly. Her tail smacked into the cage as she walked away, leaving the Fairy tones who could only float inside the cage.
Watching this from a hidden portal was Mephisto, who was smirking.
"Excellent! It seems her heart isn't wavering this time," Mephisto said. However, who should appear behind him but Bassdrum.
"I am not sure about that, Mephisto-sama," Bassdrum said in an even tone. Mephisto turned to him in confusion.
"What do you mean, Bassdrum?" Mephisto asked.
"Siren has been thinking about Hummy quite a bit. That friendship that Hummy believes in is quite dangerous." Bassdrum explained his reasons but Mephisto only continued to smirk.
"Then, let's use this to help keep her on the path..." Mephisto said. He snapped his fingers and what should form in front of him but one of those earpieces that was used on Siren to make her evil again.
"Impressive as always, Mephisto-sama," Bassdrum said as Mephisto chuckled calmly.
Later, in the Town Square of Kanon Town, people were gathering around the strange object that had formed in the square; a strange tree with multiple flat platforms and mushroom-like heads growing out of it. Hibiki, Kanade, Ryan and Itsuko had arrived on the scene and saw this going on. Various living Violins looking like almost human-sized Negatones, if the eyes were any sign, were standing on all the platforms.
Standing on the highest platform was the Trio Minor, Mephisto and Siren.
"Welcome everyone, to the Concert of the Melody of Sorrow! Let us start!" Bassdrum declared.
"It is time!" Baritone and Falsetto said in their opera-styled voices. A curtain fell down, showing that one of the slightly lower platforms was holding the Legendary Score, which was filled in with the Melody of Sorrow. On the other stages, the strange Minor Land grunts that created this stage for the performance began cheering and whistling for the oncoming music.
"That's the Legendary Score...?" Itsuko asked softly as the four heroes looked on.
"Unforgivable... that score should have the Melody of Happiness written on it!" Hibiki said. Ryan clenched a hand around his OOO Driver, which he held in his hand. A wave of painful noise began to expand around, causing the many people to start fleeing whilst clutching their ears. Nearby, Otokichi frowned faintly at the noise.
"It's off." was his only comment on the noise of the band that would play alongside Siren's singing. Hibiki, Kanade, Ryan and Itsuko watched as the people fled from the terrible noise.
"I can't take anymore of this!" Hibiki said as she clenched her Cure Module as the pair were going to attempt a transformation, despite lacking the Fairy Tones...
"I would hold off on that!" Mephisto called out. The four looked up at him as he smirked.
"Pretty Cure! Kamen Riders! Take a look over there!" Mephisto called out. Hibiki and Kanade gasped as they saw that on top of the clock tower with one of those strange musical staffs as well as the Noise Headphones wrapped around her was Hummy. Underneath Hummy's position were the Fairy Tones, still trapped in that cage.
"Hummy!" Hibiki called out.
"Fairy Tones!" Kanade called out as Mephisto smirk at their plight.
"If you try and transform..." Mephisto said calmly causing Ryan to grit his teeth.
"Cowardly little..." Ryan growled out.
"Hummy is in danger..." Kanade whispered.
"We can only stand here and watch the world drown in sorrow?!" Hibiki said in shock.
"Mephisto-sama... what is this?" Siren asked, glancing at Mephisto.
"It's to make sure the Pretty Cure and Kamen Riders cannot stop us," Mephisto said before turning to Siren. "As well as giving you a reason to do your job here as Songstress. If your resolve to sing the Melody of Sorrow wavers for even a moment, that cat will take your place as singer of the Melody of Sorrow." Mephisto said as Siren looked pensively at Hummy.
"You hear that? You dense cat?" Mephisto shouted towards Hummy, who opened her eyes... and yawned.
"Sorry, did you say something?" Hummy asked, causing Mephisto and the Trio Minor to facefault.
"S-s-s-she...?!" Mephisto began but the Trio Minor decided to finish.
"She fell asleep?!" The trio said incredulously in their Opera-like voices. Siren simply smirked and hopped off the platform to head towards the Legendary Score.
"Don't worry, Mephisto-sama. I am not confused anymore," Siren spoke as she approached the Score.
"I know. I am counting on you Siren!" Mephisto called out as Siren looked at Hummy.
"Hummy, there's no use in trying to stop me." Siren said as she and Hummy looked eye to eye. But Hummy only smiled.
"I'm not stopping you." Hummy said to Siren's confusion. "I'm your friend, so I'm not going to get in your way." Hummy continued to speak.
"What are you saying? Hummy!" Kanade asked in shock as Itsuko and Ryan stayed silent. Unbeknownst to them though, the shadowy form of Scorab was smirking and hiding in a nearby alleyway, soaking up some of the evil Noise Energy filling the area.
Siren softly chuckled only for her eyes to widen as she looked at where her heart would be. "What? What was that?" She whispered to herself as Hummy continued to talk.
"You don't have to worry about me, Siren." Hummy said. Siren shook her head in an attempt to get that weird feeling out of her head. She scoffed at Hummy's words.
"Hummy, you're as dense as ever. I'm about to sing the Melody of Sorrow. The world will fall into sadness! Is that fine with you?!" Siren asked as Hummy continued to smile.
"Yes!" Hummy called out. Siren tilted her head in yet again more confusion at Hummy's words. "Even if this world falls into sadness, everything will be fine!" Hummy shouted out as Siren faintly chuckled.
"Why do you say that?" Siren asked calmly as Hummy answered.
"Because when that happens, you'll be crying with me." Hummy said with a bigger smile. Hibiki, Kanade, Ryan and Itsuko could only watch silently as Siren seemed shocked by that answer. "So everything will be fine!" Hummy spoke once more.
"I can't stand this! How dense can you get?!" Siren snapped as Hummy closed her eyes softly.
"I'm sorry thatI'm so dense..." Hummy began as tears began welling up in her eyes. "No matter what happens, we're friends! We're best friends forever!" Hummy shouted out as Ryan looked on softly. 'That's it Hummy...' Ryan thought as he knew perfectly well that Hummy could do it. Hummy openned her mouth and began to sing...
"Sugoi..." Itsuko said softly at the voice Hummy brought out as she sang a song.
"Such a beautiful voice..." Kanade whispered as Ryan closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Siren was having memory flashes... of the time she and Hummy practiced singing together back when they were younger in Major Land as well as other happy memories. Siren sat there in shock as her confused mind and heart tried to understand this new feeling... just as rain drops began to fall down, a few streaking down Siren's face like tears.
"That's enough of friendship. Cue the Melody of Sorrow!" Mephisto called out, as the various Instruments began to get ready.
"Stop it!" Hibiki called out as Otokichi approached the group.
"Believe in them. Believe in their friendship and a miracle will happen." Otokichi spoke up. Ryan glanced at Otokichi and nodded gently. Siren moved into position in front of the Legendary Score.
"Start the Melody of Sorrow!" Mephisto called out as Siren began inhaling to begin singing. But nothing came out of her mouth. Mephisto, alongside everyone watching, could only watch as Siren began to cry, unable to sing.
"Siren! I was right to not believe in you." Mephisto spoke calmly causing Siren to widen her eyes. Mephisto snapped his fingers and suddenly noise began coming out of the headphones on Hummy's ears.
"Hummy!" The group of 4 heroes called out as Siren clenched her eyes shut.
"Hummy! Listen up. Friendship? Love? Trust? That's all useless. Erase all happiness and drown the world in the Melody of Sorrow! That is your mission!" Mephisto called out. Siren, hearing this, smacked a paw on the Legendary Score, causing the Notes to go flying off. As it was floating around, Mephisto's eyes widened as he saw that the Score was losing its Notes.
"The Notes!" Mephisto called out. He glared and jumped up. "You won't escape! Come out, Negatone!" Mephisto yelled out, sending a massive wave of Noise that hit all of the Notes. As they were comprised of all the notes that were in the Fairy Tones, there were almost countless. As they landed on the clock tower, they all morphed into Negatones, causing the giant bird of darkness each Negatone used to transform to appear. Hummy began sliding off the clock tower and managed to break the cage holding the Fairy Tones.
"Help-nya!" Hummy called out as the Fairy tones quickly flew down and attached to the Music Staff around Hummy. Quickly, they chanted their musical tones and freed Hummy just as Hibiki caught the Kitten.
"Hummy! Are you alright?" Hibiki asked. Hummy nodded with a smile as they looked up to see the giant Negatone forming. It let off a big growl at the four heroes.
"Hurting Hummy like that..." Kanade started.
"Trying to bring the world down with the Melody of Sorrow..." Hibiki continued as the pair held their Cure Modules.
"Unforgivable!" They shouted together as Ryan and Itsuko nodded in agreement and attached their Drivers.
Dory and Rery quickly flew into the Cure Modules as Itsuko brought out a Cell Medal and Ryan slotted his three signature Core Medals into his Driver.
"Henshin!" Itsuko called out, turning the crank of his Birth Driver after slotting in the Cell Medal
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
"Henshin!" Ryan called out, scanning his OOO Driver with the OOO Scanner making those three familiar chimes. The three rings of Medals that formed around him were the Taka, Tora and Batta medals.
TAKA!
TORA!
BATTA!
TA-TO-BA! TATOBA TA-TO-BA!
"Let's Play! Precure Modulation!" Hibiki and Kanade called out together as they were bathed in light. Itsuko was covered by a Gachapon Pod around him while Ryan had the three rings of Medals. The light show ended, showing the transformed forms of our four heroes.
"Strumming the Wild Rhythm! Cure Melody!" Melody called out
"Strumming the Graceful Melody! Cure Rhythm!" Rhythm called out.
"Count up the medals! 1, 2 and 3! Kamen Rider OOO!" OOO called out.
"Unlimited Medals! Kamen Rider Birth!" Birth called out.
"Resonate our Musical Suite! Suite Precure!" Melody and Rhythm finished off. The Negatone growled at them as Mephisto smirked.
"Now, Pretty Cure! Kamen Riders! Try this on for size..." He said, Dark energy forming and covering a Cell Medal that he held in his hand. He tossed the medal towards the Negatone causing it to fall into a slot on its back...which began glowing Green as what climbed out was a huge Hornet O-Yummy. Its large wings buzzed off more of the Melody of Sorrow.
"Eh!? When do Yummies get that big!?" Melody, Rhythm and Birth said at once as OOO clenched his fists.
"Only when a Yummy has absorbed a ton of Cell Medals does it morph into that...monstrosity known as an O-Yummy. But to think that Mephisto could give a Yummy so much desire that it goes into its O-Yummy state right away...it's not possible!" OOO said in shock. Mephisto laughed loudly at the group of Heroes facing off against the two Giant Monsters. The Negatone was a bit bigger than the Hornet O-Yummy that began buzzing into the air aiming its Stinger at the group as some windows on the Clock Tower Negatone opened up and fired Note shaped arrows as well.
"Split up!" OOO called out as he and Birth jumped to the right while Melody and Rhythm jumped ahead, knocking away the Negatone's projectiles and going for a double punch to its chest. The Negatone barely felt it and raised one of its giant fists that smashed into the Precure duo, sending them crashing to the ground.
Meanwhile, OOO and Birth were busy dodging rapid-fire Stingers from the Hornet O-Yummy when its antenna suddenly glowed and fired dark-red beams of energy. OOO jumped up high using his Batta Legs to avoid the blast while Birth quickly slotted a Cell Medal and turned the crank on his Birth Driver.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-CUTTER WING-
From Birth's back, pieces of machinery formed into a pair of metal wings. Birth flew up, avoiding the Stinger shots, and rushed towards the O-Yummy while firing rapid-fire shots with his Birth Buster. However, he only caused minor marks to appear on the O-Yummy. Meanwhile, OOO jumped up onto some nearby roofs and jumped as high as he could towards the O-Yummy. It growled and suddenly let loose a powerful sound wave that smashed into both OOO and Birth, sending the pair crashing into the ground. At this moment in time, Cure Muse arrived on the scene in secret.
Mephisto chuckled calmly as he watched the Pretty Cure and Kamen Riders being beaten around by his latest work. He then noticed Siren walking away from the Legendary Score.
"Siren!" He called out as Siren stopped and looked at him. "Watch this." He declared as he snapped his fingers. Down on the ground, Hummy noticed multiple Noise Headphones appearing and rushing towards her. The little Kitten then tried to flee from them.
"Hummy..." Siren whispered, her form shaking faintly. Hummy continued to run only to slip on a puddle allowing the Headphones to land on Hummy's head. Hummy tried to cover up her ears, but couldn't remove the Headphones. She soon looked up and saw the Trio Minor as Bassdrum began to slowly move his hands down to snatch up Hummy.
"Stop... stop it..." Siren whispered as tears formed in her eyes. She finally couldn't take it anymore! "Stop it! Stop making Hummy sad!" Siren called out as Hummy looked up at her friend while she was in Bassdrum's arms.
"Siren!" Hummy called out for her friend. Cracks began forming on Siren's necklace, with Blue light coming out of the cracks bit-by-bit before the necklace was blown off Siren's neck. Siren closed her eyes involuntarily as she was bathed in a light blue light. This seemed to stop everything, as even the Negatone and O-Yummy seemed to be stopped by this strange light show.
OOO meanwhile smiled inside of his helmet as he knew what was coming. However, unknown to everyone, invisible waves of Dark Energy were flowing out of Siren's being and heading towards the form of Scorab, who smirked as he gathered up all of the energy. Everyone else could only see the cat figure of Siren...changing into a Human-like form. The figure was unable to be seen properly as the new figure leaped off the platform towards the Trio Minor, sending the trio flying as she grabbed Hummy and rescued her as she landed on one of the other platforms.
Mephisto, the Suite Precure, Kamen Rider OOO and Kamen Rider Birth as well as Otokichi and Aphrodite saw that Siren had transformed...into a Pretty Cure.
Her hair was Lavender colored and was wild and long looking and it was tied to the side with a feathered bow. Her costume was slightly more elaborate than Melody's or Rhythm's, as well as being more Blue in color and featured many more frills. Her boots were knee-length and her gloves were wrist-length and fingerless. Hummy's eyes were huge and sparkling as she smiled brightly. "Thank you Siren!" She called out. Siren's eyes widened, as she suddenly realized what she did. By accident, she let go of Hummy who landed on the Platform without harm. She turned to Siren who looked around and at herself.
"No way..." Melody and Rhythm said in surprise. OOO simply stayed silent while Birth shared the girls' surprise. Siren suddenly leaped away as Hummy tried to go after her friend.
"Negatone! Now!" Mephisto called out, as the Negatone, taking advantage of their distraction, threw a punch towards Melody and Rhythm.
"Melody! Rhythm!" Birth called out. However, it was then that the two Riders heard a buzzing noise, and saw that the O-Yummy was finally getting its act together as it lunged at the pair of Riders. Siren meanwhile landed on a roof and began to flee from the area.
"Siren. Where are you going?" Is heard as Siren turned around to see Cure Muse with her Fairy Tone Dodori talking for her once more. "Are you leaving Hummy behind?" Dodori asked as Siren clenched her fists.
"I.. .don't care what happens to Hummy..." Siren said in a not very convincing voice.
"Then why did you save her?" Dodori asked as Siren turned to fully face Cure Muse.
"I don't know!" Siren snapped.
"You do, actually. Look at that." Dodori said, pointing at the battle field where Melody and Rhythm were on their knees trying to get back up after the Negatone sucker punched them. Nearby, OOO and Birth were in a similar position as the O-Yummy flew up, preparing its stinger for another barrage while Mephisto was laughing.
"Now Pretty Cure! Kamen Riders! It's time for you four to run away crying!" Mephisto taunted. Melody clenched her fist as did OOO, Rhythm and Birth.
"The Precure don't run!" Melody declared, as she and Rhythm stood up.
"Yes! Until the world becomes happy again..." Rhythm continued the declaration as the pair glared at the Negatone.
"...We won't give up!" They declared in unison. OOO and Birth began stand up as OOO looked at the O-Yummy, opening up his Medal Holder as he did so.
"That's right!" OOO said as he brought out a pair of familiar Red Medals. The Medals glowed, with flames causing faint steam to be seen as he removed the Tora and Batta medals from his OOO Driver. "We Kamen Riders are the same!" He spoke, slotting in the Kujaku Medal. Birth continued for him.
"As long as evil exists, we will never give up!" Birth shouted out, as OOO slotted in the Condor medal and gripped the OOO Scanner. Siren could only watch in disbelief at what was going on down there.
"The Pretty Cure don't run away from their feelings, no matter how hard it gets. Apparently, the same goes for the Kamen Riders." Dodori said as Siren looked at the Fairy Tone. "You became a Precure because you wanted to save Hummy from the bottom of your heart. Believe in those feelings and fight for the sake of Justice as a Precure!" Dodori declared before a sudden sound filled the air as a wave of heat formed around OOO...
[Insert Song: Time Judged All by Eiji Hino (Shu Watanabe) and Ankh (Ryosuke Miura)]
TAKA!
KUJAKU!
CONDOR!
TA~JA~DOR!
OOO calmly crossed his arms as he appeared in his Blazing Combo. Looking up at the O-Yummy, he uncrossed his arms as beautiful Peacock Feathers formed on his back before they detached and fired like missiles smashing into the O-Yummy. Melody and Rhythm rushed towards the Negatone, summoning their Belltiers and firing a combined blast at the Negatone's face that sent it crashing onto its back.
"Rhythm! Let's do this!" Melody called out as Rhythm nodded quickly. The pair summoned Dory and Rery to their Belltiers and separated them for their second most powerful attack.
"Precure Miracle Heart Arpeggio!" Melody called out, summoning her Pink/Orange colored Heart of flames that was launched at the Negatone.
"Precure Fantastic Piacere!" Rhythm called out, as she summoned her White/Yellow colored Heart of flames, launching it at the Negatone as well. The pair smiled and gently waved their Belltiers.
"3/4 Beat! 1, 2, 3! Finale!" The Pair called out together as they purified the Negatone with its almost countless Notes. Hummy smiled and performed her part in purifying the Notes that began going back into each of the Fairy Tones. Meanwhile, Birth slotted another Cell Medal into his Birth Driver.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-BREAST CANNON-
Birth's chest armor then formed the power cannon. He then slotted two more Cell Medals into his Birth Driver and turned the crank again.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-CELL BURST-
Birth gathered energy in his new cannon as the O-Yummy fired multiple stingers towards Birth. He fired the huge blast that easily destroyed the stingers and slammed into the O-Yummy causing Cell Medals to go flying as it crashed into the ground in pain. Just then, a bright red figure was seen above the O-Yummy. It was OOO, who was flying above to prep for his own Finisher.
SCANNING CHARGE!
OOO then began to dive bomb the Hornet O-Yummy. He showed both of his feet together, causing the Leg armor to shift and transform as they formed into the Condor Talons. "Prominence Drop!" OOO called out, as he dug the Talons into the O-Yummy's back, coating it in flames, before it exploded, showering Cell Medals everywhere. However, the added darkness of the defeated monsters were fed to the hiding Scorab who smirked and easily swiped 200 of the falling Medals.
Mephisto gritted his teeth before showing the Legendary Score to them all. "I still have the Legendary Score, you fools! Next time, we'll take those Notes back!" Mephisto called out as he, the Trio Minor and the rest of the Minor Land forces, including the stage, vanished from sight.
[End song]
Melody and Rhythm smiled and hugged each other as they had managed to stop Mephisto with surprising help from Siren. Meanwhile, Hummy looked around but couldn't see Siren anywhere nearby.
"Siren!" Hummy called out. Birth and OOO then landed softly with the group, Birth's C.L.A.W.S Armaments vanishing for now. OOO clenched his fists tightly.
"We did it," OOO said. Melody and Rhythm nodded, the four heroes placing their hands together. Cure Muse watched, before glancing off in the distance...
Siren, still in her Precure form, continued running through the streets, rain pouring all over her as she began changing into her human form of Ellen. She looked up at the sky that poured with rain as if it had all the answers.
"Why... why did I become a Precure...?" She whispered.
The next day, it was still a rather cloud-filled sky, as Hibiki, Kanade and Hummy walked together. The two Precure were in their school uniforms as they were heading off to school again.
"Yeah! Siren became a Precure!" Hummy cheered, walking ahead of Hibiki and Kanade. The Kitten was ecstatic about her best friend being a Precure. "We can gather so many Notes with her! We can sing the Melody of Happiness together and bring peace to the world! Everyone will be happy!" Hummy gushed as Hibiki and Kanade continued to follow.
"Wait up. I don't think things will go that easily." Kanade said, causing Hummy to look at the pair.
"Eh? Why not?" Hummy asked causing Hibiki to speak up next.
"Because Siren was our enemy just a while ago! And Now she's our ally all of a sudden?" Hibiki offered a surprisingly smart look at this, as Siren's sudden change was a little hard to believe from their point of view.
"This may be all part of her plans again. Even then, she doesn't have a Cure Module and yet she transformed. How strange." Kanade said. It was also true, as Siren hadn't used a Cure Module like they did.
"Siren saved me! Didn't you see that happen?" Hummy asked.
"Well, yeah..." Kanade began, as Hummy continued her explanation.
"Harmony power makes all of us friends, fairy or human! I'm sure if I talk to her, she'll understand!" Hummy declared. Kanade then continued her train of thought.
"Talk to her? We don't know where she is." Kanade said. Hummy blinked her eyes at that and nodded.
"Wait up. I'll bring Siren here." Hummy said as she headed off to find Siren just as another batch of rain began to fall down.
Meanwhile, in Minor Land, Mephisto was grumbling to himself. He paced back and forth in front of his throne, grumbling about Siren's defection and the fact that she was a Precure.
"Damn you, Siren... but how is she a Precure?" Mephisto muttered to himself, tapping his chin and glancing at the giant pile of Cell Medals nearby. He then proceeded to pick up one of the Medals...
Meanwhile in Major Land, Aphrodite was also thinking about Siren's new transformation into a Precure. "If she really is a Precure, how did she transform without a Heart Tone Key? What is going on?" Aphrodite wondered.
Meanwhile, back in the human world, walking through the rain was Ellen, still in shock at her transformation. "Why... Why did I become a Precure?" She whispered to herself. She soon found some shelter from the rain under a playground's chute... with it being the same one where she and Hummy had almost reconciled their friendship the first time.
"How did that happen?" She wondered as that Noise echoed in her head. She covered her ears. "That dreadful Noise is stuck in my head!" She spoke while clutching her head. "I was controlled... But it was because of my weak heart..." Ellen whispered to herself. Suddenly, a voice spoke up.
"What's the matter? You look terrible. Are you okay?" The voice spoke up. Ellen turned to see it was Ako and Souta. Ellen's eyes widened as she remembered using a Negatone to drown poor Souta in sorrow. "You'll catch a cold like that." Souta spoke up, not noticing Ellen's reaction. Ellen quickly began to run. As she ran through the streets of the town, she passed by many people carrying umbrellas due to the rain falling down. Images of many people crying in sorrow due to her actions were plaguing her mind... It made Ellen clench her teeth as she slipped into an alley and decided to try and transform.
"Turn me into a cat!" She called out... but nothing happened. She widened her eyes, looking at her current form and peeking out of the alleyway. She spotted a nearby girl. "Turn into her!" She said, trying to get her powers working as she looked at her unchanged body. "I can't change forms... why?!" She began to wonder only to remember that her necklace had shattered when she transformed into that Precure form.
"I can't change forms anymore... what should I do now?" She whispered to herself, falling onto her knees in shock.
Back in Minor Land, Mephisto was busy trying to contact Siren, but he was failing to get any reply back from his former minion. He clenched a fist in anger. "This means that she has completely awakened from the Noise of Evil." Mephisto said to himself. He noticed an image forming and thought it was Siren until it showed that it was actually the Trio Minor
"What do you guys want? Where is Siren?" Mephisto asked. Bassdrum spoke.
"I don't know. That means I'm the leader now." Bassdrum attempted to say calmly. But Baritone spoke over him.
"No, I'm the most fit to be leader." Baritone bragged.
"The one with the highest tone of voice should be leader." Falsetto argued.
"You fools! Find Siren and bring her to me!" Mephisto ordered.
"Why? We're letting Siren go, right?" Bassdrum asked.
"No! She's the only one who can sing the Melody of Sorrow!" Mephisto snapped. Baritone and Falsetto tried to say they could sing it, but Mephisto only pointed a finger at them. "You guys are way too Terrible!" Mephisto shouted out. As the other two members flinched, Bassdrum pushed them aside.
"Do not worry, Mephisto-sama. I have a great plan in mind." Bassdrum bragged.
"A good plan? What is it?" Mephisto asked as Bassdrum smirked.
"So I can be leader?" Bassdrum asked causing Mephisto to sigh.
"Fine! You're the leader! Now, what is your plan?" Mephisto asked. Bassdrum chuckled and began to explain his plan...
"Here you go, girls, some fresh cakes," Ryan said as he placed two plates of sweet cakes down for Hibiki and Kanade at Asagi's restaurant. Since the pair had finished school, they decided to come here and try to relax... but with Hummy out there searching for Siren, it wasn't exactly easy.
"Strawberry Cupcakes! My favorite!" Hibiki cheered. Ryan nodded as Kanade smiled too.
"Yeah it's also... Hummy's..." Kanade said as the pair glanced outside at the still rainy day. Hibiki then stood up from her chair.
"Oh! I can't take it anymore! I'm gonna go look for Hummy and Siren!" Hibiki declared as Ryan chuckled softly.
"Look for them? What will you say to Siren if you find her?" Kanade asked Hibiki who blinked her eyes and tapped her chin in thought.
"I'll figure that out when I find her!" Hibiki said. Ryan chuckled as he calmly got out a small bag and carefully placed both cupcakes inside. Hibiki and Kanade noticed that he was doing so in surprise.
"Well, you're not going alone... Itsuko! Hold down the fort for now!" Ryan called out. Hibiki smiled and nodded as Kanade sighed. The trio grabbed an umbrella each and headed out into the rain to find Hummy and Siren. Itsuko reacted in alarm at what just happened.
"Hey, wait!" Itsuko called out as the trio headed off to look for Siren and Hummy. "Oh, you guys suck!" Itsuko pouted as he continued to clean up.
Meanwhile, Ellen silently walked through the still raining streets of the town, confused about where to go..
"I have nowhere to go, and nowhere to turn back. What should I do?" Ellen thought. As she continued to walk, she began to hear music...as she saw she was passing by the cathedral from before, she widened her eyes and moved to cover her ears due to past experience with the music...but she felt no pain.
"What? My head doesn't hurt anymore." She wondered and stepped inside the cathedral. She soon reached the main chamber where Otokichi was planning music on the organ. She hid behind a wall and closed her eyes as she listened to the music. "What a pretty sound. I thought I hated it, but why?" She thought as the music stopped.
"Why don't you come out from there?" Otokichi asked. Ellen widened her eyes at being caught before she timidly stepped into view. "It sounds better up close. You can hear it better," Otokichi said as Ellen spoke up.
"I don't have that right." Ellen said, believing that she didn't deserve to listen to such beautiful music. Otokichi chuckled softly and continued.
"You don't need to have rights to enjoy music." Otokichi said as Siren shook her head softly.
"No, I used music to do bad things! That's why I can't enjoy beautiful music!" Ellen explained her reasons as Otokichi calmly spoke in response.
"Really? Put your hand to your heart." Otokichi said as he placed a hand over his own heart. Ellen soon copied that... and she began to hear the beating of her heart.
"You can hear it right? Your own beat has quite the music." Otokichi explained as Ellen kept her eyes closed as she listened to her heartbeat.
"My beat is music...?" Ellen began, only to open her eyes as she looked at Otokichi. "You can hear it from there?" she asked as Otokichi smiles.
"Everyone has music in their hearts. The melody plays and the rhythm shines. The beat keeps track. When you are confused and frustrated, just follow the beat of your heart." Otokichi said as Ellen looked at him for a few moments. She nodded and turned around as she prepared to leave. "Come and listen anytime. Music doesn't discriminate." Otokichi added as he smiled calmly.
Ellen stepped outside of the cathedral to see that the rain had stopped. She glanced back at the cathedral and placed a hand over her heart. "The beat of my heart..." Ellen whispered as she began to walk away... before Hummy suddenly latched onto her face.
"I finally found you! I was looking for so long, Siren!" Hummy called out as Ellen finally dislodged Hummy from her face.
"Hey! Are you trying to kill me?" Ellen asked. Hummy chuckled sheepishly as she apologized to her friend.
"I was just so happy to see you!" Hummy cheered as Ellen gently placed Hummy down and kneeled down while looking at her friend. "Come with me, Siren. You should talk with Hibiki, Kanade, Ryan and Itsuko." Hummy said, surprising Ellen.
"What will we talk about? I've hurt so many people! How can I make up with all of them?" Ellen asked Hummy who simply smiled.
"We'll hold a party for you!" Hummy cheered, as the 7 Fairy Tones floated around Hummy. Ellen stood up straight.
"Don't you understand!? I've done so much! I've hurt you so much! I've tricked you!" Ellen said as Hummy only smiled brightly.
"I forgot about it." Hummy said caused Ellen held the sides of her face as she remembered.
"Well, I remember everything I've done. I made them cry in sadness... I brought misfortune!" Ellen snapped as she just couldn't let that side of her go.
"But... you are now a Precure that protects everyone!" Hummy cheered trying to help Ellen who could only shake her head.
"No! I... I don't have the right to be a Precure!" Ellen cried out. She ran off with Hummy and the Fairy Tones right behind her.
(Cutaway 1: Shows the 5 Fairy Tones with Hummy who smiles, as it changes to Hibiki and Kanade playing music on their Cure Modules with the other two fairy tones, while Ryan was nearby napping as the Suite Pretty Cure title appears.)
-A person walks up wearing an open red jacket, brown cargo pants, and a black shirt with the Kamen Rider Kiva logo-
Hey everybody, I've got something to tell you! I'm OathToOblivion, a fellow Rider...I mean writer of Rider Cure's, and this is an important message!
A few months ago, me and a fellow writer by the name of Symbolic Joker were discussing fic ideas with each other, when I mentioned I wanted to start a HeartCatch Pretty Cure and Kamen Rider Gaim crossover. This piqued his interest, as he also wanted to write a Gaim fic, so he asked to be a co-writer, which I accepted. The result was HeartCatch Pretty Cure - Just Live More, which you may have seen if you've been in the same section as this story is archived in.
From there, the idea expanded far beyond my initial scope. Eventually, we decided to create a whole brand-new universe, where Riders and Precure have been teaming up ever since the original Futari wa Pretty Cure! This universe is called The Symbolic Oath to Rider Cure Universe. Why does it have that name, you ask?
Well, I've been helping Rider Cure with a few things regarding this story, mainly betaing and future plot elements which you'll see in a few chapters. When I mentioned the universe, he was interested in the concept as well, and asked if he could help out. I agreed, on the condition that this story be a part of the Universe. He was skeptical of it though; he was already planning on it connecting with another story somebody else had written. But, after a few nitpickings here and there, we finally agreed on something!
Basically, this story is a part of our shared universe... in Broad Strokes. Certain elements, like his version of All-Stars DX3 are completely different, whilst others are slightly different to accommodate for the fact that Riders have appeared before. However, the version of his story that you're reading is completely separate from the shared universe... save for an interesting little movie-length chapter of our story you may see later.
Well, that's all! Be sure to check out the current story, and the stories to come! Allons-y!
(Cutaway 2: Kanade is trying to keep her cupcakes away from Hibiki but Hummy snatches one followed by Hibiki snatching one as Kanade flips out and begins chasing them while Ryan is calmly drinking a cup of tea while the Kamen Rider OOO title appears)
Meanwhile, the group of Hibiki, Kanade and Ryan walked through Kanon town in search of Siren and Hummy. So far, the trio had not seen any sign of either as of yet.
"Oh great...and all this time I forgot my cupcake..." Hibiki muttered. Ryan chuckled calmly as he was still holding the bag with said cupcake and its twin in his hand. It was then that he got an idea...
"Hibiki..." Kanade muttered in fond exasperation. Just then, the trio heard something in the wind and looked up see the leaves swaying in the wind giving off a beautiful vision.
"Wow... such a beautiful day... it's like the trees are singing..." Hibiki said softly...just as the trio soon began hearing familiar singing. "Hey isn't that... Hummy!" Hibiki said, as the trio walked slightly ahead and saw Hummy and the Fairy Tones singing. They were trying to add Ellen to their singing group.
"Looks like Hummy found her as well," Ryan spoke softly. They watched the group sing as Hummy briefly stopped when she noticed a faint glow emanating from where Ellen's heart would be, before it vanished suddenly. Hummy shook her head, before noticing a Note on a nearby tree.
"A Note!" Hummy cheered as she smiled at Ellen. "Siren! We can sing the Melody of Happiness together when we gather all of the Notes!" Hummy continued to cheer. Ellen couldn't believe it; Hummy wasn't furious with her?!
"Why aren't you mad?! I did so many horrible things!" Ellen said as she went onto her knees again due to the height difference between human and cat.
"You want me to be mad?" Hummy asked as Ellen nodded. Hummy then puffed her cheeks and finally spoke. "You fool!" Hummy snapped before suddenly starting to smile again. "Okay, I got mad. Now, let's sing together!" Hummy cheered. Ryan smacked his head behind the tree he was hiding behind. That seemed a bit more like Tsukino Usagi logic than anything else. Meanwhile, the wind blew again as the many leaves and branches of the trees began to make nature's own music using the wind.
"You see, the trees and the breeze want to sing with you, too. You just need to perk your ears and listen." Hummy said. Ellen slowly closed her eyes to hear something... only to hear the growl of a stomach, causing her to blink her eyes.
"Hibiki, watch that stomach of yours!" Kanade muttered behind a tree as Hibiki was hiding with her.
"I can't help it!" Hibiki responded. Ryan simply chuckled and walked into view of both Hummy and Siren as well.
"Well, they'd have to be deaf if they couldn't hear you two argue again," Ryan teased. The two Precures chuckled sheepishly, when suddenly Ellen and Hummy's bellies growled at the same time.
"Well, it seems all of us are a little hungry, huh?" Ryan asked as he showed the bag with the two Cupcakes in it. Hibiki's eyes sparkled...although not like crappy Meyer vampires.
"Ryan, you're a life saver!" Hibiki cheered. Ryan brought out one of the Cupcakes and broke it in half, before giving one half to Hibiki and the other half to Kanade.
Kanade was surprised. "Why'd you do that, Ryan-san?"
"Friends should share what they have," Ryan said as he broke the other cupcake in half and offered one half to Hummy, who smiled and offered her thanks. Ryan approached Ellen, who was still on her knees, and offered her the last piece. Ellen blinked her eyes in surprise, before gently taking the cake.
"T-thank you," Ellen said, still feeling slightly uneasy talking to her former enemies.
"Well then... Itadakimasu!" Hibiki and Hummy cheered as they wolfed down their pieces. Kanade giggled softly and ate her piece while Ellen looked at her piece before eating it herself.
"So anyway, are you alright, Siren?" Hibiki asked. Ellen looked to the side, still uneasy.
"Don't call me by that name anymore." She said softly. Kanade smiled and spoke up.
"How about we head back to the restaurant and have a small little get together with some more cakes?" Kanade asked. Hummy smiled and nodded at the same time that Hibiki smiled at Ellen.
"What do ya say, Ellen?" Hibiki said, asking her to come along. Ellen still looked confused while Ryan was chuckling.
"What they're saying is, half a cupcake isn't gonna be filling enough for some singing, so let's all get some more food to eat and then you can all sing," Ryan said. Hibiki then proceeded to playfully nudge Ryan's ribs with an elbow.
"What do ya mean by that? You're joining in too," Hibiki joked. Ryan blinked his eyes before shaking his head.
"No way; not a chance. I'm not that good of a singer," Ryan chuckled. Ellen could only watch the antics before suddenly...
"Enough of the friendship...!" Bassdrum sung as he landed on a branch followed by Baritone...
"No more snacks for you!" Baritone continued as Falsetto ended the trio's small little opera number.
"Too bad!" he called out as Bassdrum looked at Ellen and smirked before he spoke up.
"Let me tell you that I, Bassdrum, shall be leader starting from today!" Bassdrum boasted as he bowed. "Nice to meet you." He chuckled as Hummy watched in worry.
"If you thrash around like that, the tree can't sing anymore!" Hummy called out. Bassdrum raised an eyebrow at that.
"The tree, singing? That is completely stupid!" He snapped, grabbing a branch and breaking it off. He then proceeded to toss it down at Hummy, who quickly avoided it.
"How mean!" Kanade said as she, Hibiki and Ryan glared at the Trio Minor.
"What are you doing!?" Hibiki snapped as Bassdrum smirked calmly.
"I'm doing... this! Come out, Negatone!" Bassdrum yelled, sending out that wave of Noise that washed over the Note. The tree glowed with a dark aura and lifted off the ground, actually coming off its roots as it was changed into the Tree Negatone. Bassdrum smirked, showing that he was holding a Rhino Cell Medal that he tossed at the Negatone. A Rhino Yummy was formed, grunting as it pounded its armored hands on its horned and armored head.
"Negatone! Yummy! Go wild and spread the Melody of Sorrow!" Bassdrum called out as the two monsters roared. Hibiki and Kanade brought out their Cure Modules while Ryan secured the OOO Driver onto his waist.
"You dare to harm an innocent tree...!" Hibiki began, clenching her Cure Module.
"...and you dare to harm Nature's music!" Kanade continued, holding her own Cure Module.
"Unforgivable!" The Pair called out together as Ryan slotted in his three Medals while Dory and Rery entered the Cure Modules.
"Henshin!" Ryan called out. As per usual, the three rings of Medals formed around his head, torso and legs.
TAKA!
TORA!
BATTA!
TA-TO-BA! TATOBA TA-TO-BA!
"Let's Play! Precure Modulation!" Hibiki and Kanade called out together as they were bathed in light, while the three Medal rings locked the Taka, Tora, and Batta Medals into place. The light show ended, showing the transformed forms of the three of them.
"Strumming the Wild Rhythm! Cure Melody!" Melody called out
"Strumming the Graceful Melody! Cure Rhythm!" Rhythm called out.
"Count up the Medals! 1, 2 and 3! Kamen Rider OOO!" OOO called out.
"Resonate! Our Musical Suite! Suite Pretty Cure!" Melody and Rhythm called out together. The Rhino Yummy roared and charged forward, causing Melody and Rhythm to dodge to the side. Meanwhile, OOO held his ground, gripping the horn as he slowly skidded back, before purposely falling onto his back, kicking both feet into the Yummy's chest, and monkey flipping it onto its back.
The Negatone then began shooting sharp leaf-like projectiles at Melody and Rhythm as they quickly dodged left and right. The Pair nodded and prepared for a combined attack before suddenly two of the Negatone's roots buried underground appeared behind them. One wrapped around Melody's legs and the other wrapped around Rhythm's arms and upper body, immobilizing the pair.
"Melody! Rhythm!" Hummy called out in concern, before a net suddenly snatched poor Hummy up. Ellen spun round to see Bassdrum holding Hummy hostage! Meanwhile, OOO noticed it too, but he was too busy dodging constant tackles from the Yummy. He then slammed a kick into its chest, but that did nothing but make it mad as it swung its fist slow but powerfully! One fist hit OOO directly in the chest, sending the Rider skidding back as his back hit a tree, causing his head to shake from the knock.
"Now, Siren! If you want us to free her, you shall return to Minor Land and sing the Melody of Sorrow!" Bassdrum demanded. Nearby, above a tree, Cure Muse was watching this develop with her Fairy Tone Dodori. "Let me tell you now that I shall be the leader. You will only be singing the Melody! So... what shall you do?" Bassdrum smirked, holding the captured Hummy. Ellen gritted her teeth at this, and Melody and Rhythm could only watch due to the Negatone having caught them.
OOO, at the moment, was busy holding the Rhino Yummy's horn back and trying to stop it from spearing him with that nasty horn. "If I sing the Melody of Sorrow, then Hummy...?" Ellen began to ask as Bassdrum chuckled.
"I'll let her go," Bassdrum said, covering Hummy's mouth before she could speak. "Only if you sing the Melody of Sorrow..." Bassdrum chuckled as Ellen glared at him faintly.
"No. I won't sing it." Ellen said calmly, causing Bassdrum to glare at her.
"You don't care what happens to her? You're ignoring your friend?!" Bassdrum asked, making Ellen clench her fists.
"It's because I don't want to make her sad! If I sing the Melody, Hummy and many more will drown in sorrow. I want her to sing happily, always." Ellen said softly with a smile as Hummy's eyes sparkled. "Give her back!" Ellen demanded. She rushed forward, but Bassdrum knocked her aside and growled in rage. Raising a hand that looked like he would strike at Hummy, until Ellen's hands caught the punch and stopped him. "I don't care what happens to me! But if you hurt Hummy, I... I'll never forgive you!" Ellen called out, just as that golden glow where her heart was returned in full glow now.
Melody and Rhythm could only watch in awe, OOO noticed too, driving two knee strikes into the Yummy's chest before he began to swing the Yummy around by the horn... "I was right! I did see the Heart Tone Key!" Hummy cheered, as the glow took a shape and became... a Cure Module in Ellen's hands, much to her shock. Hummy smiled. "Lary! It's time!" Hummy called out as Lari, the Light Blue Fairy Tone, moved and landed onto the Cure Module. Ellen nodded calmly.
"Let's Play! Precure Modulation!" Ellen called out as she was bathed in light. During the light show, she was covered in blue ribbons of energy. Her hair became longer and wilder, turning Lavender in color as her new power as a Pretty Cure awakened. Calmly standing there in her new outfit, she held what looked like a musical staff-like guitar, making an electric guitar sound as she smiled. "Strumming the Beat's Soul, Cure Beat!" The new Cure Beat declared.
"Cure Beat? I don't care who you are, but I have the hostage here!" Bassdrum smirked, when Beat suddenly did some speedy cartwheels and chopped a hand on Bassdrum's hand, causing him to release Hummy. She snatched the Kitten and jumped away.
"Oi! Bassdrum! Catch!" is heard as OOO tossed the Yummy so that it crashed into the Trio Minor.
OOO dusted his hands as Beat returned, having gotten Hummy to a safe spot. She glanced at OOO who nodded in response as he removed the Tora Medal. Slotting in a familiar glowing red Medal, he rescanned his belt.
TAKA!
KUJAKU!
BATTA!
OOO calmly raised his left arm holding the TaJa Spinner as he opened it up to show the Cell Medals inside. He removed three of them as the Yummy began to stand up again and growled at OOO. He then proceeded to remove his three Medals from his belt and place them inside the Taja Spinner. At the same time, Cure Beat landed in front of the Negatone who tried to attack her with the same leaf projectiles it used on Melody and Rhythm. But Beat slipped through and easily evaded the attacks as the Negatone used it's remaining 4 roots to try and tie her up. Cure Beat easily leaped around them and got all four roots tangled up together, before she rushed up to the Negatone and performed rapid fire punches and a powerful kick that sent the Negatone crashing to the ground.
"Cure Beat! You wanted to spread sorrow, but now you're a Precure?!" Bassdrum growled out as Cure Beat turned to him. Meanwhile, OOO was moving his OOO Scanner towards his TaJa Spinner as the Medals inside began to spin slowly...
"Yes, you are right. I can't erase what I did. I myself know that the best. But I don't want to spread sorrow anymore. I want to become strong so I can protect my friends! The beat in my heart wants that to happen!" Cure Beat called out as OOO smiled behind his helmet, as he moved his OOO Scanner across the TaJa Spinner!
TAKA!
KUJAKU!
BATTA!
GIN-GIN-GIN-GIGA SCAN!
"Take this! TakaJaBa Strike!" OOO called out as he made a punching motion and sent a huge blast of Red Fiery and Green Electrically mixed energy slamming into the Yummy, sending it flying backwards as it roared before it exploded into Cell Medals, causing OOO to sigh in relief.
Cure Beat smiled as Sory, the Green Fairy Tone, summoned a Note for Beat. She smiled, holding the Note as it begins taking a new shape... "Spill out, Spirit of Love!" Beat called out, as that Green Note took the form of a Guitar, mostly light blue in color while also looking like a combination of a rod and electric guitar. "Love Guitar Rod!" Beat called out as she smiled. calling on Sory who landed on the end of the Guitar. Beat grabbed the soundboard of the guitar. "Change! Soul Rod!" She called out, as she moved the Light Blue Heart shaped portion of the Guitar and slid it along the rod until it rested near where Sory was in, holding the Guitar Rod like an axe now.
"Go forth, Tone Ring!" Beat called out, making the familiar ring but a greenish color now. She held the Guitar Rod, while pointing the ring at the Negatone. "Precure Heartful Beat Rock!" Beat called out as she launched the ring at the Negatone who was just getting up at this point. The ring slammed into it as Beat smiled.
"3/4 Beat... 1, 2 and 3... Finale!" Beat called out as the ring slammed onto the Negatone and purified it, turning it back into a tree. Hummy cheered and quickly purified the Note as it went into one of the Fairy Tones while Melody and Rhythm were freed of the roots.
Bassdrum growled as he clenched a fist at this. He snatched up some of the Cell Medals on the ground. "Come on, we're leaving," He growled as the Trio Minor vanished, leaving the four heroes together as Melody, Rhythm and Beat returned to Hibiki, Kanade and Ellen as OOO calmly powered down back into Ryan.
Ellen was mostly focused on the damage down to the tree due to the battle. Hibiki and Kanade approached to offer their thanks as Hummy cheered about how amazing Cure Beat was. Ellen clenched her fists tightly. "The tree got hurt because of me..." Ellen muttered as Hummy blinked her eyes. "I'm sorry..." Ellen whispered as she took off running.
"Siren! Where are you going!?" Hummy called out as Hibiki and Kanade glanced at Ryan who simply sighed softly.
"Give her time..." Ryan said softly as he looked at the fleeing Siren.
Unknown to either of them, a Black Blur snatched up the Cell Medals left on the ground as a faint chuckle echoded silently...
Bassdrum calmly sighed, as he and the other members of the Trio Minor were in a new location. "Alright... from here on, this is..." Bassdrum began and Baritone and Falsetto sang to finish.
"...Our new base!" The pair sang as Bassdrum began taking to the leader role. Bassdrum stayed seated on a chair as he calmly rested his hands together under his chin.
"Listen up. Siren got us good in that last fight. We'll have to use all of our powers and defeat her!" Bassdrum called out.
"Defeat her!" Baritone and Falsetto sang alongside Bassdrum. Their new base was a lighthouse situated on an island nearby Kanon Town.
Meanwhile, Ellen at that moment was wandering around the town. She looked up at the sky, using her hand to cover her eyes from Sol's rays.
"What should I do? I can't return to either Minor Land or Major Land. I can't even change forms anymore. I don't belong anywhere in this world." Ellen spoke softly. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and saw Hibiki and Kanade with Hummy as well. She quickly began to turn and walk away...
"Where are you going?" Hummy asked Ellen, who stopped for a moment to sigh. "Somewhere..." She spoke softly. Hibiki took a step forward.
"Ellen, you'll be fighting with us now, right?" Hibiki asked as Hummy nodded with a smile.
"Let's combine our powers and work hard!" Hummy cheered. Ellen softly shook her head.
"I told you that I don't have the right. I know all too well how many bad things I've done." Ellen spoke. Kanade decided to speak up now.
"But you can't stay like this forever, right?" Kanade asked as Hibiki continued to try and convince their fellow Cure.
"Who cares about the past? Just believe in your own path now." Hibiki said. Ellen continued to speak softly in refutation.
"I don't have anything like that. Stop talking to me anymore." Ellen spoke and walked away. Hibiki, Kanade and Hummy could only watch softly with sighs.
"Hey girls, what's going on here?" Is heard as the pair turned to see Itsuko walking over, wheeling over his motorbike. Hibiki could only glance down the path at Ellen's retreating back.
"It's Ellen... even though she's a Precure... she still won't join us." Hibiki said softly as Kanade sighed.
"She keeps blaming herself for the stuff she did as Siren." Kanade said causing Itsuko to sigh as well.
"Well that's understandable... the poor girl was brainwashed to spread sorrow and pain to people here and in Major Land. That kind of guilt can eat away at anyone.." Itsuko said softly, as Hibiki and Kanade glanced at the path Ellen went down.
"Well... we can't give up on her! She is our friend! Friends don't leave a friend behind if they're in trouble!" Hibiki called out as she began heading after Ellen. Kanade sighed and followed while carrying Hummy causing Itsuko to chuckle and follow suit.
Ellen soon arrived back at Otokichi's Cathedral, and gently tapped a key on the piano as she looked around softly. "In the end, this is the only place left." Ellen said softly, before hearing a meow. Turning around, she noticed a cute Orange cat walking over. Ellen gently picked the cat up.
"Hey, Miko?" A voice called out. Ellen looked ahead, and saw a young boy walking into view with brown hair, a blue shirt and green shorts carrying what looked like a doctor's bag. "Sorry about that." He said, seeing the cat as he approached Ellen who only smiled softly.
"Is this your cat?" Ellen asked, as the boy gently petted the cat.
"No, it's the neighbourhood cat. My family doesn't allow cats." He said as Ellen nodded softly.
"I see. Do you like cats?" She asked softly as the boy nodded. Just then, a voice called out for someone named Mamoru.
"It's Papa! You better hide!" The now named Mamoru said as he and Ellen hid behind a wall. A man wearing a grey vest and white jacket appeared at the entrance to the cathedral calling out for Mamoru. Mamoru and Ellen stayed silent before he left... the sound of his distant footsteps allowed Mamoru to sigh in relief, before his stomach growled. He blushed as Ellen smiled.
"You hungry?" Ellen asked before her stomach decided to make itself known, causing the pair to laugh together.
At that moment, Hibiki, Kanade, Itsuko and Hummy were looking around for any sign of Ellen. Sadly they couldn't find any sign of her yet, causing the group to sigh in unison.
"She told us not to talk to her anymore." Hibiki said as she glanced at Kanade.
"But we can't do that, right?" Kanade said softly as the pair stopped walking. Itsuko and Hummy turned to look at them.
"Ellen is confused right now. It's hard turning into a Precure all of a sudden." Hibiki said as Kanade nodded.
"She has nowhere to go, right?" Kanade spoke as Hummy softly nodded, as do Sory and Lary who are floating with the other Fairy Tones.
"We are the only ones who can help her right now." Hibiki said as Itsuko nodded with a grin.
"Yep. Being alone is no good." Kanade added as Hummy smiled softly and nodded her own head gently.
"But what should we do?" Hibiki asked, as they didn't know how to approach Ellen.
"Just talk it over and you'll be good friends in no time." Hummy said with a smile.
"That's why I have this." Kanade smiled, showing a box from her family's shop, the Lucky Spoon. The group smiled as they now had a plan to try and help Ellen, only for that same man, that Ellen and Mamoru had been hiding from, to head past them and nearly bump into the pair. He turned to them.
"Sorry! Are you okay?" He asked as Hibiki and Kanade both nodded softly. He sighed in relief. "Excuse me then!" He said as he headed off, causing the pair to glance at each other.
Meanwhile, Lary and Sory were watching as Ellen was talking to Mamoru
"So, you go to elementary school?" Ellen asked having heard Mamoru say he was 10. He nodded and was about to ask about where Ellen went...when a voice spoke.
"Hey, Ellen! So you are here." Is heard as Hibiki, Kanade and Hummy arrived, Itsuko appearing behind them and waving with a grin.
"What do you want?" Ellen asked, as she saw Itsuko among the group as well.
"Nothing, really. We were wondering if you were hungry." Kanade said, showing her box with the Lucky Spoon cupcakes. Mamoru smiled hugely at being able to eat such yummy cakes.
A little later, the group of 4 humans, 1 Cat turned Human and 2 Cats were busy enjoying themselves. with Ellen, Mamoru, Kanade, Hibiki and Itsuko enjoying some cakes together.
"So what is inside this bag, anyway?" Kanade asked, noticing the bag beside Mamoru. He sighed softly.
"It's stuff from my papa's work." Mamoru said. Itsuko glanced at this as did the others.
"Why do you have it? Won't your dad be in a bind?" Hibiki asked Mamoru.
"Who cares!" Mamoru snapped, as he took a big bite out of his cupcake, finishing it off. He stood up and headed off.
Ellen could only watch this, confused as to what to do. Itsuko stood up, finishing up his cupcake calmly, as the group began to follow to check up on the kid.
They soon saw Mamoru sitting and leaning against a wall nearby the cathedral as they approached. Kanade was carrying the bag as she approached him.
"You forgot this." She said softly as Hibiki walked into view.
"So that guy who was in a rush. Was that your father? Isn't he worried about you?" Hibiki asked as Mamoru frowns.
"Nope. Papa gets along fine without me." Mamoru said. Kanade spoke up again.
"Hey, can you tell us what happened?" Kanade asked as Mamoru shook his head.
"It doesn't have anything to do with you two." Mamoru said as Kanade smiled softly.
"Yes it does." Hibiki said calmly.
"Yep, you ate my cupcake, so you're our friend now." Kanade said while Hummy was staying hidden for now.
"Me too." Is heard as Ellen walked into view. She looked at Mamoru. "I want to hear your story." Ellen said softly as Itsuko walked over and smiled calmly.
"Same here kid. So, mind telling us what's going on?" Itsuko asked as Mamoru finally relented.
"Papa is a doctor in this city. But now he has to work on a very big ship." Mamoru said softly, as he remembered when he heard about it from his dad.
[Flashback]
"You can't come back for a year?! Are you kidding me!?" Mamoru shouted, as his dad tried to explain.
"Mamoru, you have to understand. We decided this already, right?" His dad asked as Mamoru spoke up.
"You're okay with not being able to come back?!" Mamoru snapped as his dad shook his head.
"No! I want to stay with you. But I'm the only one who can do this! A lot of people will be in trouble if I'm not there." His dad said, lifting one hand onto Mamoru's shoulder, slightly showing a bandage on his thumb...? "As a doctor, I can't let this pass." He said, as Mamoru backed away.
"That's enough! Papa... Papa... I hate you!" Mamoru yelled out, snatching his dad's bag and running off.
[End flashback]
Mamoru clutched the bag in his hands as Kanade decided to speak.
"So that's what happened..." Kanade said softly as Hibiki continued.
"Hey, Mamoru. It'll be a bit lonely, but if your hearts are connected, it'll be fine." Hibiki said, as she moved down the pieces of a building ruins and continued. "When I was little, I got separated from my mother too. But our hearts are connected, so I'm not lonely at all." Hibiki said, leaning on a wall next to Mamoru.
"That's right. You're not alone. Don't you think so, Ellen?" Kanade asked, as Itsuko stayed quiet for now.
"No, I don't." Ellen said, calmly leaning on another wall. "We're all alone. That's what you think, right?" Ellen asked Mamoru. "You hate how your father left you all alone." Ellen explained as Mamoru turned and walked til he was almost beside Ellen as he nodded.
"Yeah... I hate it." Mamoru said, as Ellen walked forward and stood on a piece of stone.
"You two won't understand. We're all alone in the end." Ellen said calmly. "It's pointless to feel bad about all the good-byes. Living alone and getting stronger all by yourself...That's when your loneliness disappears." Ellen said, as Mamoru was thinking over those words.
"That's not true. We're all connected." Kanade said as Hibiki stepped forward as well.
"That's right. You're not alone, Ellen. We are..." Hibiki began as Ellen suddenly interrupted.
"I'm alone! The connection we have may disappear in an instant. So we shouldn't have bonded in the first place." Ellen said. Mamoru nodded faintly as he thought that she is right.
"But you're holding onto that bag because you don't want him to go, right?" Kanade asked Mamoru, who looked at the bag in his hands as Hibiki softly spoke.
"Hey, when does your father leave?" Hibiki asked as Mamoru sighed softly.
"Tonight..." He said softly as the pair gasped.
"I'll go look for him!" Hibiki said. Kanade nodded, turning to Mamoru.
"Please talk to him one more time!" Kanade said as Hibiki nodded.
"You'll regret this if you don't talk to him!" Hibiki said, as the pair headed off to find him. Itsuko shrugged his shoulders and followed the pair.
"Let's go, Mamoru." Ellen said, as she hopped off her rock and looked at Mamoru. "You don't want to see your papa, right?" Ellen asked, as she began to leave. Mamoru nodded and began to follow. Ellen noticed Hummy, and the pair looked at each other for a few moments before Ellen and Mamoru began to leave. Hummy didn't say a word.
Late, Ellen and Mamoru were walking through the streets of Kanon Town, passing by many people.
"So many people here, yet we're alone." Ellen said as Mamoru began to walk ahead, not seeing this as he passed Ellen.
"I'm all alone..." He muttered to himself as Ellen widened her eyes.
"Mamoru!" She said, seeing him about to walk onto the road. She quickly pulled him back as they avoided a car, but the bag that belonged to his father was sent flying. "You okay?" She asked. He nodded and looked around for his dad's bag, only to see it nearby. He headed over to pick it up.
"Huh? What's this?" He wondered, as he saw a cat doll on the pavement and picked it up. "Why does Papa have this?" Mamoru wondered, when he suddenly recalled that bandage on his dad's thumb.
"What's wrong?" Ellen asked as she approached. Mamoru smiled faintly.
"I'm sorry, Ellen. I'm going home." Mamoru said. Ellen blinked her eyes in surprise and asked why. "Papa made this for me, I'm sure. I understand now." Mamoru said as he showed the cat doll. "Papa is always thinking about me." Mamoru spoke as he smiled.
"But he's going away!" Ellen explained. Mamoru nodded softly in agreement, but smiled.
"Yes, but... I'll just be leaving him alone then. I don't want to do that! Because I love Papa!" Mamoru said with a smile, which Ellen was surprised about.
"Hey, you have someone you love too, right?" Mamoru asked. "Someone you want to become, someone you truly love?" Mamoru asked as Ellen's eyes began to widen. Brief memories of Hummy, Hibiki, Kanade, Ryan and Itsuko flashed through her head in an instant.
"I'm sure she does, kid," A voice is heard. Ellen's eyes widened. She turned around and saw that walking over was the form of Ryan, who simply smiled calmly.
"OO...I mean Ryan-san..." Ellen said in surprise as Ryan approached.
"How're you doing, Ellen." Ryan greeted with a smile as Mamoru glanced at Ryan.
"Ellen? Is this your friend?" Mamoru asked as Ellen glanced at him and then Ryan who only smiled.
"I like to think we are friends," Ryan said with a grin as he sighed softly.
"Mamoru... let's go back. You still gotta talk with your Papa," Ellen said with a smile as Ryan nodded.
"You two go on ahead, I gotta pick up something," Ryan said as Ellen looks at him who grins.
"Ellen... don't forget that you are never alone now. You got all of us as a, well, very dysfunctional family," Ryan joked as he walked away calmly, smiling softly. He turned a corner to see his motorbike resting there, as he had been going for a drive when he had spotted Ellen.
Later, the group regrouped back at the Cathedral as Mamoru and his dad were talking again. Mamoru held the doll in his hands.
"Papa, you made this, right?" Mamoru asked as his dad sheepishly tried to begin only for Mamoru to smile softly. "I could tell by looking at your hand." Mamoru said as his dad looked at his bandaged thumb and smiled.
"Yes, it's a good luck charm. It's a present so you won't be lonely when I'm not around." Mamoru's dad explained, smiling as did Mamoru himself, holding the doll close.
"I'll never be alone anymore with this." Mamoru said as the father and son hugged. Hibiki, Kanade, Itsuko and Ellen watched the scene with smiles.
"Ellen, thanks for coming back." Hibiki said softly.
"I knew from the beginning that you'd come back." Is heard from Hummy, who was watching as well. She turned to Ellen and smiled. "You and I were connected from the very beginning." Hummy said with a smile as Ellen softly looked at her friend. However, unknown to them, a Note had appeared on the back of the doll.
"Heheh, I found the note. I also found you, Siren!" Bassdrum declared, as the Trio Minor stood ontop of the cathedral, smirking down at the 3 Precure and 1 Kamen Rider.
"Go! Negatone!" Bassdrum called out, as the soundwave echoed and turned the Note into a Negatone. The Cat Doll was turned into a Negatone that landed on top of the Cathedral and growled, before sending out the Melody of Sorrow that washed over Mamoru and his father, causing the pair to start forming tears. Ellen widened her eyes at this.
"We finally repaired the bonds..." Hibiki said, as she and Kanade stepped forward.
"...between father and son!" Kanade added as the pair got out their Cure Modules while Itsuko got his Birth Driver onto his waist.
"Unforgiveable!" The Pair said together as Itsuko flipped a Cell Medal into the air and caught it.
"Henshin!" Itsuko called out, slotting the medal into his Birth Driver and turning the crank. Meanwhile, Dory and Rery entered Hibiki and Kanade's Cure Modules.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
"Let's Play! Precure Modulation!" Hibiki and Kanade called out, as they were bathed in light while Itsuko was covered in that dome as he transformed into Kamen Rider Birth while Hibiki and Kanade became Cure Melody and Rhythm once again.
"Strumming the Wild Rhythm! Cure Melody!" Melody called out.
"Strumming the Graceful Melody! Cure Rhythm!" Rhythm called out.
"Unlimited Medals! Kamen Rider Birth!" Birth also declared as he held his Birth Buster at the ready.
"Resonate! Our Musical Suite! Suite Pretty Cure!" Melody and Rhythm called out together.
"Negatone! Attack!" Bassdrum ordered as the Negatone lunged at Melody and Rhythm. "Also, Kamen Rider Birth! Try this on!" Bassdrum shouted, as he tossed the Cell Medal at Mamoru's father. A White Yummy spawned from his back and transformed into a Elephant Yummy that trumpeted before glaring at Birth.
"Oh boy..." Birth said as he got his Birth Buster at the ready. The Yummy charged at him while he peppered its armored skin with his Birth Buster's shots. Meanwhile, Rhythm lunged at the Negatone and attempted some quick punches and kicks, but got her leg caught and tossed aside. Melody quickly joined in, but the Negatone somehow dodged her as well, before getting knocked aside as well the pair crashing to the ground. But not for long, as they charged towards the Negatone and performed a double punch as the Negatone did the same with both fists, causing a burst of wind from the impact to spread out. Ellen and Hummy were on the sidelines, watching the fight play out.
"Why?! Why do those two work so hard? They even told me I'm not alone... Why?" Ellen asked, confused about how accepting the pair were. Hummy then spoke up.
"They are honest with themselves, that's all. They work together and try their best to protect what they want to protect. That's harmony power. That's what makes them..." Hummy began as Ellen finished.
"...Pretty Cure..." Ellen said softly, as Birth avoided a swinging arm of the Elephant Yummy. The Yummy then stomped the ground, before headbutting Birth hard with a force that sent the Rider stumbling away as he rolled over to Ellen and Hummy. Just then, the Negatone slammed both Melody and Rhythm away as they crashed nearby as well. Hummy turned to the trio with worry as Bassdrum chuckled.
"What's wrong, Siren? Aren't you going to transform?" Bassdrum asked, as Ellen looked at the Cure Module in her hand. Bassdrum scoffed as he smirked. "Then you're finished! Now!" Bassdrum ordered as the Negatone sent another blast of Melody of Sorrow that caused cries of sorrow from Mamoru and his father.
"Mamoru! Stop! Stop doing such terrible things!" Ellen pleaded, as Bassdrum raised an eyebrow at that.
"Terrible? What are you saying now? You were a part of this up until now!" Bassdrum snapped, as Ellen's eyes widened as she looked at the crying Mamoru and his dad.
"I did all of this before? Then... I don't have the right to be a Precure." Ellen said, dropping her Cure Module. Just then, a sudden roar is heard as the Elephant Yummy was beginning to charge the group. Melody, Rhythm and Birth began to stand up, ready to fight, when the sound of a motor is head.
"What?" Ellen said, as she turned to the noise as her Cure Module stopped in front of Hummy. They all saw a motorbike rush in and slam into the Elephant Yummy, sending it crashing into a wall as the rider calmly hopped off and removed his helmet to reveal Ryan who grinned.
"Ryan!" Melody and Rhythm called out as Birth groaned.
"About time, man!" Birth snaps as Ryan chuckled.
"Sorry I took so long," Ryan said, as he approached, looking at Ellen as Hummy spoke up.
"Siren. Forget about the right to be a Precure or what you have done." Hummy said, as Ryan approached and spoke up as well.
"The real question is this Ellen..." Ryan said, as Ellen turned to him as he smiled.
"What do you want to do now?" Ryan asked as the Yummy began to stand up again, growling in rage as the Negatone growled as well.
"I... I..." Ellen began, as a flash of Mamoru and his dad crying in her head told her answer. "I want to protect them!" Ellen declared as Ryan and Hummy smiled, as did Melody, Rhythm and Birth. "All that I have destroyed... Friendship... Love... A trusting heart... Yes, the bonds in our hearts... I don't want to destroy them anymore!" Ellen declared as Ryan approached calmly. Lary and Sory picked up the Cure Module and brought it towards Ellen.
"So, the desire in your heart... what does it want?" Ryan asked calmly as Ellen turned to Ryan, smiling calmly.
"I need the power! The right! If I possess them... I shall become a Precure!" Ellen said as Ryan nodded with a grin, putting on his OOO Driver.
"We've been waiting for those words!" Is heard by Lary holding her Cure Module.
"You're finally honest with yourself." Sory said as they placed the Cure Module in Ellen's hands.
"You want to protect the bonds of our hearts... that feeling... we shall return you power with it." Lary said as Sory nodded in agreement.
"Now's the time!" Sory said as Ryan got out a familiar trio of medals that glowed bright red. Ryan smirked and slotted the medals inside. "Transform for real!" Sory added as Ellen nodded softly. She turned to Ryan who also nodded, his OOO Driver in its standby phase. Ellen gained a determined look in her eyes as Lary entered her Cure Module.
"Let's Play! Precure Modulation!" Ellen called out finally, as she was bathed in a Light Blue light.
"Henshin!" Ryan called out as he scanned his belts. Bright Red Flames formed around him alongside three rings of Red Medals.
TAKA!
KUJAKU!
CONDOR!
TA~JA~DOR!
Ryan was covered in crimson flames while Ellen was covered in a Light Blue shining light. As the light faded, Ellen smiled, standing there as Cure Beat while Ryan stood beside her as OOO's Blazing Combo.
"Strumming the Beat's Soul, Cure Beat!" Beat declared as OOO clenched his fists, flames forming around him.
"Count Up the Medals! Blazing Wings! Kamen Rider OOO, TaJaDor Combo!" OOO declared as a bird-like screech was heard as he and Beat stood there together. Finally, the Negatone lunged towards them.
Beat and OOO glanced at each other before both driving an elbow into the Negatone's chest followed by two uppercuts to its chin, sending it flying high as Beat trapped its right arm between her legs as OOO's leg armor transformed into the Condor Talons and gripped the left arm as the pair tossed the Negatone away.
The Yummy roared and rushed towards them, only to get a triple punch to the face by Birth, Melody and Rhythm who sent the Yummy flying as they followed it. Bassdrum glared at Beat and OOO while he glanced at Baritone and Falsetto.
"Let's go!" Bassdrum said as the Trio combined their power, making a purple coloured orb of energy around them. As they lunged at Beat and OOO, the pair quickly jumped high as Beat summoned her Guitar Rod and Lary slotted herself into the top of the guitar. Beat smirked and OOO nodded.
"Beat Barrier!" She called out, strumming a chord on her guitar. A dome formed around her and OOO, blocking the Trio Minor's attack dead cold. As Beat and OOO landed back on the ground, OOO crossed his arms and summoned his Peacock Feathers.
"Alright! Kujaku Barrage!" OOO declared as the feathers became missiles and launched at the Trio Minor.
"Beat Sonic!" Beat called out, as she played another tune on her Guitar, summoning 6 Notes that turned into Arrows and lunged at the Trio Minor and sending them crashing away in the nearby trees.
Beat and OOO smiled before the Negatone attempted a sneak attack. They spun around... only for the Elephant Yummy to be thrown and slammed into the Negatone by Melody, Rhythm and Birth, who looked at the pair with smiles. Melody and Rhythm had their Belltiers out and Birth was moving his Birth Buster into its finisher mode.
-CELL BURST-
"Fly forth, Tone Ring! Precure Music Rondo!" Melody and Rhythm called out together as they launched their rings towards the Yummy. Birth aimed his Birth Buster which was glowing with power.
"Birth Buster: Charged Shot!" Birth called out, firing his blast at the Yummy as the trio of attacks slammed into the Yummy.
"3/4 Beat! 1, 2 and 3! Finale!" Melody and Rhythm declared as the Yummy exploded into Cell Medals.
"Finish this!" Melody and Rhythm called out to Beat and OOO who nodded and looked at the Negatone. Beat prepared her Guitar Rod while OOO began opening up his Taja Spinner.
"Change! Soul Rod!" Beat called out as Sory entered the other end of the Guitar. Beat moved the Guitar so it now looked like an Axe/Rod. OOO removed three Cell Medals from the TaJa Spinner and removing his three Medals from his belt, placing them in the TaJa Spinner. He closed it up and moved his OOO Scanner across the TaJa Spinner, letting it spin up.
"Fly forth, Tone Ring! Precure Heartful Beat Rock!" Beat called out as she aimed her Soul Rod at the Negatone and let the ring fly.
TAKA!
KUJAKU!
CONDOR!
GIN-GIN-GIN-GIGA SCAN!
"Yosha! Magna Blaze!" OOO called out as he made a punching motion. Launching out of his TaJa Spinner were three copies of his Red Medals made of flames that formed a screeching Phoenix.
"Sugoi..." Melody and Rhythm could only say at the sight of both attacks as the Phoenix and the Green Tone Ring slammed into the Negatone. The flames formed a ring around the Negatone too as Beat glanced at OOO and the pair nodded to each other.
"3/4 Beat! 1! 2! 3! Finale!" Both declared, as the two rings slammed into the Negatone, freeing it of the evil. Hummy quickly clapped her paws and purified the Note as it went into Rery for safety.
OOO and Beat nodded and high fived faintly as Melody, Rhythm and Birth smiled at the scene while Bassdrum, Baritone and Falsetto slipped away. Beat slowly slid a hand through her hair, making a unique guitar-like noise as she smiled.
Later that day, Mamoru waved goodbye to his father who was heading out on that ship while Hibiki, Kanade, Ellen, Ryan and Itsuko watched. The 5 of them smiled, before Ellen felt something wet rolling down her cheek and noticed she was crying. Touching her cheek in confusion about her sudden crying, a voice spoke up.
"Tears make up the world's smallest sea. That's a quote from Andreson, right?" Is heard as the group turned around and saw Otokichi, who smiled at them as he continued. "People live through their connections with each other and everyone has their own seas. Since your heart has the sea known as your tears, that means you are connected with someone else." Otokichi said as he smiled softly. Ellen placed a hand over her heart for a moment as she looked at the group of Precures and Riders alike as they all smiled at her..
A little later, they were nearby a cliff as Ellen began to speak while looking at the sun setting. "I... loved the Melody of Happiness. But when Hummy was chosen, I got jealous. That jealousy engulfed me and turned into hate. I came to hate the Melody of Happiness. Something I loved turned into something I hated. I had such a fearsome heart. I was afraid of becoming a Precure." Ellen said as Hibiki and Kanade looked at each other and nodded as they approached as Ellen continued. "I didn't know when hate would overcome me again." Ellen finished as Kanade gently grasped her left hand and stood by her left side as Hibiki grasped her right hand as she stood by her right side and the pair smiled. Tears started to well up in Ellen's eyes again.
"You're not alone anymore, Ellen." Kanade said softly as Hibiki nodded.
"That won't happen again. We won't let it happen." Hibiki said with a smile, as the group soon saw Ryan placing a hand on Ellen's left shoulder and Itsuko on her right shoulder as the pair smiled.
"Same goes for us, you got a rather dysfunctional group right here Ellen... a group of friends," Ryan grinned as Itsuko gave a thumbs up with his free hand. Ellen's tears continued to well up.
"You should let it all out." Kanade said as Hibiki nodded while Hummy cutely moved onto the top of Ellen's head and smiled brightly at her friend.
"We're all connected... our hearts combined make a beautiful music... our connection is just like this sea." Ryan said, looking at the ocean as Ellen smiled, tears now streaming down her cheeks as she finally leaned forward and spoke.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for doing such terrible things! For destroying the bonds! But now I'll protect them! I'll protect those bonds! That's why I want to be connected to everyone, too!" Ellen called out as she felt Kanade and Hibiki hold her hands as Ryan and Itsuko smiled and nodded. Hummy smiled hugely and she smiled too, her eyes closed as tears continued to stream down her cheeks...
"Thank you..." She whispered softly as the group watched the Sunset...
