Kamen Rider OOO and Precure
Melody of Desire
Chapter 18! First day of School! Healing Chest! Raging Dinosaur Power!
In the nearby woods of Kanon town, Hibiki, Kanade, Ryan, Itsuko, Ellen and Hummy were hard at work, looking for Notes once again.
"Aha! I gotcha! Look everyone! A Rhinoceros Beetle!" Hibiki cheered, showing that she had a Kabuto Beetle in her net.
"A Rhinoceros Beetle?" Ellen asked as she looked at the Insect. She flinched as she looked at the unknown creature.
"Wow, it is big," Kanade said as Hibiki grinned.
"Hey! We're suppose to look for Notes!" Hummy declared. Ryan chuckled as Hummy let the Rhinoceros Beetle free.
"Hey! I finally caught one too..." Hibiki muttered softly as she slumped. Itsuko gently patted her back.
"Hummy! I got one!" Ellen called out, as she had caught a Note with her net.
"Alright! Shiry!" Hummy called out, causing Shiry to weakly float over.
"You okay?" Hummy asked softly. Shiry quickly recovered a little and smiled weakly.
"I'm fine-shishi," Shiry said softly, causing Hummy to smile as she was too clueless to pick up on Shiri and the other Fairy Tones being unwell.
"Alright, let's catch that Note!" Hummy cheered. Shiry then absorbed the Note, before sitting on the grass sweating a tiny bit.
"Hey, are they okay?" Itsuko asked softly.
"We're fine.." Shiry said softly as the other Fairy Tones were resting.
"You sure about that? Maybe we should take a break right now?" Ryan asked softly. Suddenly, they heard some laughing and saw three young boys nearby a field of sunflowers holding nets too... one of them holding a familiar looking Beetle.
"Hey! That's the beetle I caught!" Hibiki whined as Itsuko rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.
Kanade took notice of the boy who had the beetle talking about showing it to his class at school.
"Hard to believe that summer vacation is coming to an end," Kanade said as Hibiki nodded.
"Yeah, and soon it'll be back to school for us," Hibiki said.
"Well, the pair of us will be mostly busy with our own work, so I guess unless the Trio Minor cause trouble we won't see much of each other for now," Ryan said as he leaned on a tree.
"It would seem so, but we'll always come by and visit after school, if Asagi's special after school discount is back up," Hibiki grinned as Kanade sighed softly.
"Eh?! Summer Vacation is ending?!" Ellen asked in shock at this new change.

[End Music]
Inside the Cathedral, our group of young heroes were relaxing for now and enjoying some ice cream with the Fairy Tones sharing one.
"Well, the softball tournament is gonna be starting up soon as school restarts..." Hibiki said softly as she took a bite out of her ice cream bar.
"I'll also have to make a cake with the Sweets Club for the School Festival coming up soon," Kanade added as the pair were making their school plans.
"Man...it's been awhile since I thought of school. Of course, since our job at Asagi's restaurant is still ongoing, we don't have to worry about school," Ryan said as Itsuko nodded; the pair were enjoying their own ice cream bars.
"Won't you feel sad after summer vacation ends?" Ellen asked as Kanade smiled softly.
"It's a little sad, but I'm looking forward to school starting," Kanade said as Hibiki grinned and nodded in agreement, taking another bite out of her ice cream.
"School is fun in its own way. We get to meet up with our friends in class and in our clubs," Hibiki said as Ellen looked away in contemplation...while Hummy and the Fairy Tones were enjoying their ice cream bars.
"Hey, Hibiki. Have you finished your homework yet?" Kanade asked as Hibiki grinned.
"I'm prepared this year!" Hibiki boasted as Kanade giggled.
"Wow, that's sweet!" Kanade complimented as Hibiki smirked.
"I've matured, Kanade-kun," Hibiki said as Ryan chuckled softly.
"Um..." Is heard as the pair looked at Ellen. "I...I want to go to school, too!" Ellen declared as Hibiki and Kanade's eyes blinked in shock, while in the background Otokichi heard everything.
The next day, Hibiki and Kanade were walking down one of the streets. Tomorrow the schools would be open again as Summer Vacation drew to its final day..
"It's so hot again today," Kanade said as she and Hibiki alongside Hummy were walking through the street.
"Yeah, I can't believe that school is starting tomorrow," Hibiki said. Behind Hummy, the Fairy Tones were huddled up.
"We can't let Hummy and the others figure out we don't have any Notes-dodo." Dory said softly.
"We'll have to get the Notes back ourselves-rere." Rery said as the other Fairy Tones nodded in agreement.
"You say something Reri?" Hummy asked, turning to the Fairy Tones who quickly scattered and flew away.
"N-nothing-rere!" Rery covered up.
"We'll be resting today-soso!" Sory called out as Hummy waved the Fairy Tones goodbye.
"Hey, about Ellen going to school..." Kanade asked Hibiki for her thoughts.
"Well I was thinking of asking Papa about it," Hibiki said, as she felt glad that another of their friends would be joining their school. After all, Ryan and Itsuko were too busy working to go back to school.
"I hope something works out," Kanade said as Hibiki nodded.
"Hibiki! Kanade!" was heard as they turned to see Ellen running towards them.
"What's the matter, Ellen?" Hibiki asked as Ellen panted a little to get some air back and smiled.
"Um...I...I can go to school!" Ellen cheered.
"Really?!" Hibiki and Kanade said together as Hummy was too surprised herself to comment on their harmony again.
"Yeah. Earlier today, Otokichi-san came to my room and gave me the uniform and a school bag for your school...so starting tomorrow, I'll be a new student!" Ellen cheered with a smile as Hibiki and Kanade smile as well.
"This is great... Ellen can come to school now. Otokichi-san keeps getting more mysterious." Kanade said with a smile as Hibiki nodded.
"But this is great, Ellen!" Hibiki cheered.
"Yep! I don't know a lot, so I feel a bit jittery." Ellen said softly.
"Well we can have a rehearsal, then. We'll teach you all about middle school." Kanade said as Ellen smiled brightly.
"'Operation Catch the Summer Bugs'?" Baritone and Falsetto asked as Bassdrum chuckled and nodded his head.
"Aren't you suppose to be leader this time, Falsetto?" Baritone asked the Pink haired member who shrugged his shoulders.
"I can't help it when Bassdrum is so insistent," Falsetto said as Bassdrum glared.
"HEY! Listen to me!" Bassdrum bellowed, as he showed a jar containing the many Notes.
"The Pretty Cure and Kamen Riders will come back for these Notes. Have a look," Bassdrum said, showing a simple picture of a tree with the jar of notes in front of it.
"When the Pretty Cure and Kamen Riders see this bottle, we'll drop a cage on them!" Bassdrum laughed as Falsetto and Baritone nodded in agreement to the plan.
Meanwhile...
At the same time, Hibiki, Kanade and Ellen were busy preparing Ellen for her first day of school.
"Okay, now with most schools, we have our morning classes, then our lunch break followed by afternoon classes. Then we have club activities." Kanade explained as Ellen was taking notes, muttering the same words so she could keep record.
"During Lunchtime, we eat from lunchboxes. It tastes so good eating on top of the roof when the suns out," Hibiki said with a smile. Ellen nodded and took down more notes.
"We also have athletic and cultural festivals that are held once every year; we also go on hiking trips like the one we did during summer," Kanade said as Ellen continued to take notes. "But that'll all come later, first thing is your self-introduction," Kanade said.
"Self-Introduction?" Ellen asked, looking away from her notepad.
"Yes, you'll introduce yourself when you first walk into class," Kanade explained. "So let's prac-" Kanade began only for Hummy to leap in.
"Let me show you how it's done!" Hummy cheered as she smiled. "Hello! Hummy's name is Hummy!" Hummy said as Ellen began taking notes again.
"That's kind of redundant..." Hibiki chuckled faintly.
"Hummy wants to complete the Melody of Happiness! I am looking for Notes with the Fairy Tones!" Hummy cheered, turning to Hibiki and Ellen but the Fairy Tones weren't around. "They're gone? Oh yeah they took the day off!" Hummy remembered.
"Jeez, don't make us worry like that," Kanade sighed as Hummy decided to continue her attempt of a self-intro.
"I also love cupcakes! I eat a lot everyday!" Hummy said with a big smile.
"She loves cupcakes..." Ellen mumbled as she wrote more notes.
"Ellen! Stop writing down everything!" Kanade called out.
"My paws feel so good, too! I love it when Kanade feels them!" Hummy said as Kanade blushed.
"Hummy! Don't just say that!" Kanade said embarrassed.
"Kanade loves feeling up her paws..." Ellen continued taking notes as Hibiki was faintly giggling at poor Kanade, who was trying to stop Hummy and Ellen.
"Stop writing down everything!" Kanade called out again as Hibiki smiled.
"It's quite a sight when she sings!" Hibiki said as Ellen blinked her eyes.
"I love to sing too!" Hummy said as she began to sing while Ellen took down even more notes.
"Hummy! Stop singing! Ellen! Stop writing things down!" Kanade declared as this was not going well...
In another part of the town, the Fairy Tones continued their search for the Notes stolen from them.
Dory looked around softly and smiled. Was that a Note she had just spotted?
"Ah, I found a Note!" Dory cheered as the Fake Note was being gently moved while attached to a line of a fishing rod that Bassdrum held as he chuckled.
"By catching them, we'll get even more Notes," Bassdrum muttered with a smirk. Rery and Fary noticed that nearby was the jar of Notes that the Trio Minor kept as bait.
"Ah, I see a lot of Notes underneath the tree-rere!" Rery said as the 7 Fairy Tones landed in front of it and began approaching the jar... only for a cage to fall on top of them and seemed to trap them.
"Yes! We caught them!" The Trio Minor cheered as Dory looks at the others and nodded.
"Everyone! Run away!" Dory called out, as they easily flew through the gaps in the cages bars.
"Hey get back here!" Bassdrum yelled as the Trio the Minor, using those strange telekinetic powers again, drew in Fary, Miry and Lary. But before they could celebrate, Dory, Rery and Sory tackled their faces, making them free the Fairy Tones as they managed to escape this time, to their growing frustration.
Elsewhere...
"When you do a self-introduction, you first write your name in big letters on the blackboard. Then you talk about yourself," Kanade explained as Ellen took a few more notes.
"About myself?" Ellen asked, glancing at both girls for help on that part because Hummy was napping.
"Yes, anything is fine..." Hibiki began to say before 'Hibiki!' is heard as she blinked her eyes and looked at Kanade. "Did you call me?" Hibiki asked as Kanade shook her head softly. "Strange? I can hear that voice again..." Hibiki pondered as Ellen looked around, a little scared.
"S-stop saying such scary things!" Ellen said, as Hibiki glanced at the nearby Otokichi who was carrying a box.
'Who was that voice...it sounded like a girl...but it wasn't Kanade or Ellen?' Hibiki thought mentally.
"Maybe the heat is getting to you, Hibiki," Kanade said as she turned to Ellen. "Are you good with the self-introduction, Ellen?" Kanade asked as Ellen tapped a finger on her chin.
"The more I think about it, the more nervous I get. Can I do it well?" Ellen wondered, as the pair smiled at their future new classmate.
"It doesn't really matter. You just need to show them who you are," Kanade explained as Hibiki nodded.
"She's right. Just be yourself, you'll be fine," Hibiki reassured Ellen. "I'm sure everyone will like you."
"Thank you, Hibiki...Kanade," Ellen said softly as she smiled.
The next day was the beginning of the new school term, and the various kids were already heading off to school. Included in this were Hibiki and Kanade, now back in their Aria Academy uniforms.
"It's been so long since I've worn my uniform,." Kanade said with her arms stretched, as she glanced at Hibiki who had Hummy resting in her school bag.
"Kanade, how did it go?" Hibiki asked her friend as Kanade smiled.
"I made it perfectly. How about you?" Kanade asked as Hibiki sheepishly showed a bandage around one of her fingers.
"I managed..." Hibiki chuckled weakly.
"Hey girls!" is heard as the pair noticed ahead, sweeping in front of a familiar restaurant, was Ryan who grinned and waved.
"Hey, Ryan! How're things?" Kanade greeted as Ryan grinned.
"I can't complain. Itsuko and I are busy preparing the place for after school," Ryan said calmly, before he noticed somebody behind the girls.
"Oh hey...Ellen...woah," Ryan said as the girls turned to see their friend, who had huge bags under her eyes as she looked half asleep.
"Good morning..." She got out.
"What happened to you?" Hibiki asked as Ellen rubbed her eyes with one hand.
"Sorry...I just got so nervous that I couldn't get to sleep..." Ellen groaned.
"Well anyway, Ellen...here. Take these," Hibiki said as Ellen noticed the pair handing two gifts. Hibiki's looked to be a handkerchief and pencil case with stitching done to both.
"What are these?" Ellen asked.
"Our gifts for you, as a good luck charm for your first day," Kanade said as Ellen smiled brightly.
"I also got you girls something," Ryan spoke up as the girls turned to him as he showed a small basket with cupcakes on it, with a little flag on the center one with 'Good Luck Ellen' written on it.
Ellen smiled brightly at the generosity of her friends and grinned.
"Thank you, everyone! Nothing can stop the beat of my heart now!" Ellen cheered as she placed the girls gifts in her school bag and held the basket of cupcakes as the girls head off to school as Ryan smiled.
Not much later, Hibiki and Kanade were seated in class 2-A and saw Ellen as she, as they told her, wrote her name on the blackboard...but she wrote the words so big that her own name covered the entire blackboard, causing Hibiki and Kanade to weakly smile.
"That's way too big..." The pair said together in harmony.
"Can you do a self-introduction please?" The Teacher asked as Ellen smiled and nodded. She turned to the class as she rummaged through her school bag and brought out a long list, causing Hibiki to sweatdrop alongside Kanade.
"W-way too long..." Hibiki said as Ellen began to introduce herself to the other class members.
"N-nice to meet you! My name is Kurokawa Ellen!" Ellen began, but a little too loud.
"Her voice...too loud..." Kanade groaned as Ellen continued as the teacher asked her to speak more softly as Ellen softly nodded and continued.
"My favorite food are cupcakes, Blue is my favorite color. I love cats. I love this city of music. I am really happy to attend this middle school," Ellen continued to introduce herself.
'It's like Hummy's self intro...' Kanade thought as Hibiki gives a faint thumbs up as Ellen was getting it now.
"I love to sing. I would like to sing a song as part of my introduction." Ellen said to Kanade and Hibiki's surprise as they tried to signal her to stop. 'They're both supporting me so much...' Ellen thought as she was about to sing but the teacher decided to stop her before she could start.
"Thank you Kurokawa-san. The song can come later," The Teacher said as Ellen nodded softly while Hibiki and Kanade sighed in relief.
Meanwhile...
Above the streets of Kanon on their bone bike, the Trio Minor floated around, looking for the Fairy Tones.
"The plan was perfect..." Bassdrum grumbled.
"They got away!" Baritone and Falsetto sang as Bassdrum growled at them.
"We'll gather more Notes, then!" Bassdrum yells as they continued on, passing over Asagi's restaurant just as Ryan looked up, spotting them and narrowing his eyes. He glanced at the clock.
"We got some time. Itsuko, we better move," Ryan said as Itsuko walked into view, having been inside cleaning the dishes.
"What is it? Rider trouble?" Itsuko asked as Ryan nodded.
"The Trio Minor are on the prowl...we better go after them. Besides, we got a few hours before we get any real work and Asagi can handle any before school stuff," Ryan said as the duo quickly headed off after the Trio the Minor.
Back to the first place...
Back at the school, Ellen was currently meeting the classmates while Hibiki and Kanade couldn't get close enough to support their friend properly as Ellen was being a bit overwhelmed by everyone as they asked her questions.
"Well, um... I like black cats," Ellen said to one of the students, who asked why. "Well I used to be a black cat..." Ellen began to say but Hibiki and Kanade had to quickly run interference, especially when they began asking about where she came from.
"Hey, everyone! Let's prepare for the next class!" Hibiki called out before Ellen could reveal that part about herself.
"Yes! Hibiki is right!" Kanade agreed, as one of their classmates Waon Nishijima, with light blue spiky hair as well as being one of Hibiki's team mates in the soccer team, came up.
"Jeez, we can finally talk with Kurokawa-san!" Waon said as Ellen stood up, clutching Hibiki and Kanade's gifts.
"Umm..." Ellen began as she looked a little wobbly. "I...I want to be friends with all of you! So let's get along together..." Ellen began as she looked at Kanade and Hibiki. The pair gasped as Ellen's eyes finally closed and she collapsed.
"Ellen! Are you alright?! Ellen?!" The Pair asked, coming to the aid of their friend.
A little later in the nurse's office, Ellen groaned as she opened her eyes. She looked to the side and saw the forms of Hibiki and Kanade, who smiled in relief.
"Thank goodness you're alright," Hibiki said as Ellen sat up and looked at the pair.
"What...?" Ellen asked, wondering what had happened.
"The teacher said you didn't get enough sleep. You stayed up last night, right?" Kanade asked softly as Ellen sighed.
"What am I doing? I did a good self-introduction and got along well with everyone..." Ellen muttered as Hibiki smiled.
"Don't worry. Your self-introduction was a great success. You really showed them what you truly felt," Hibiki reassured her as Kanade smiled and nodded her head gently.
"Yep. Here is the proof," Kanade said, as she approached one of the windows and opened it up. Outside was their classmates, worried about their new classmate. "She's fine, everyone." Kanade said as Ellen widened her eyes at so much support from her classmates as they all offered their worry about her. She faintly smiled, though was a little nervous. "I'm sorry I made you all worry so much... I would like to get along with all of you," Ellen said as Waon grinned and nodded.
"Ellen! We'll help you when you're in trouble, okay?" Waon said with a smile as Ellen smiled brightly and nodded her head. Hibiki and Kanade were glad to see this happening as Hummy watched from a small distance and smiled.
"Good for you, Siren.." Hummy said softly, when she noticed the nearby medical box had a Note on it and smiled brightly.
"Well, thank you for that," is heard as Hummy turned and saw the Trio Minor. Bassdrum smirked.
"Come out, Negatone!" Bassdrum yelled, sending a wave of darkness out that washed over the Note and turned it evil, transforming it into a Negatone. The Monster growled as Ellen got out of the bed and glared, as the monster caused their classmates to flee in panic.
"Come on, everyone, move it!" is heard as the three girls noticed Ryan and Itsuko arriving, leading their classmates to a safer spot in the school. Ryan nodded at them as the pair faced off with the Negatone while the Precure nodded in reply.
"Hurting our precious friends..." Ellen began as they nod.
"...Unforgivable!" The trio declared, as nearby the weak Dory, Rery and Lary were able to come to the girls.
"Let's Play! Precure Modulation!" The trio announced as they were covered in an array of Pink, White and Light Blue lights. As the trio soon completed with their transformation, they smiled.
"Strumming the Wild Rhythm, Cure Melody!" Melody called out as she posed.
"Strumming the Graceful Melody, Cure Rhythm!" Rhythm called out as she smiled and posed.
"Strumming the Beat's Soul, Cure Beat!" Beat called out in her own pose as she smiled.
"Resonate! Our Musical Suite, Suite Pretty Cure!" The Trio called out as they were ready to fight!
Ryan and Itsuko got out their drivers, Ryan attaching his OOO Driver while Itsuko attached his Birth Driver.
"Now, Pretty Cure! Kamen Riders! Handle this!" Bassdrum yelled, bringing out a Cell Medal that glowed a dark red color as Bassdrum tossed it towards the Negatone. From the top of it, a Bright Red glow was seen as a Condor Yummy formed and screeched its talons, almost burning with flames.
Ryan narrowed his eyes as he slotted in his Core Medals and Itsuko caught his Cell Medal.
"Henshin!" The Pair called out as Ryan scanned his belt and Itsuko slotted the Medal in and turned the crank.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
TAKA!
TORA!
BATTA!
TA-TO-BA! TATOBA TA-TO-BA!
Ryan stood at the ready as the three medals formed the TaToBa Crest and he transformed into Kamen Rider OOO while Itsuko was covered by the pod as his armor formed around him as he transformed into Kamen Rider Birth.
The Two Riders and Three Cures stood at the ready as the Negatone growled and launched what seemed to be medical supplies turned into weapons at the Pretty Cure. Melody, Rhythm and Beat quickly dodged and weaved past the attacks before planting a triple axe kick to the Negatone's head. Meanwhile, the Condor Yummy leaped off and lunged with its talons first towards OOO and Birth. The pair dodged it but the explosion sent the pair skidding back.
"Okay...this Yummy is powerful..." Birth said in worry as OOO got into a ready stance. The Yummy screeched at the pair before lunging forward, sending kicks with its talons as Birth quickly slotted in a Medal and turned the crank.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-SHOVEL ARM-
Birth's left arm was soon wearing the Shovel Arm as he swung it and collided with one of the Talons as the two attacks smashed into each other, sending Birth skidding back.
OOO leaped at the Yummy from behind and grabbed its head. He tried to pull it back but the Yummy screeched and let loose a burst of fire that sent OOO rolling away with embers on his armor.
With the Pretty Cure, the trio began another charge at the Negatone, but this time it was ready, sending a piece of gauze that wrapped around Rhythm's left leg and dangled her upside down.
"Rhythm!" Melody and Beat called out in worry. Bassdrum smirked as he watched as the Negatone sent more gauze towards Beat and Melody. Beat was able to move but Melody got caught as well as she was yanked off her feet.
"Melody!" Beat called out in worry as OOO noticed this and slowly stood up.
"Birth! Go help them!" OOO called out as Birth nodded and headed over to help the girls. The Yummy screeched and lunged towards Birth but OOO quickly changed Medals.
TAKA!
UNAGI!
BATTA!
A pair of electric whips wrapped around the Yummy's legs as OOO, now in the TakaUBa Random Combo, pulled it away, causing the Yummy to screech at OOO.
Birth, now free to help, rushed over and slammed his Shovel Arm against the side of the Negatone, making it stumble just as its gauze managed to snatch Beat too. But Beat smirked and was able to break free of her bonds before she rushed forward and freed Melody and Rhythm from their bonds. The trio noticed Birth who nodded to them as the girls smiled.
"You girls alright?" Birth asked.
"We are, thanks to you two," Melody said as Birth turned to the Negatone as did the girls.
"Let's end this in one blow!" Melody declared as she and Rhythm summoned their Belltiers while Beat summoned her Guitar Rod.
"Come here, Miry/Fary/Sory!" The trio called out, only to see the Fairy Tones arriving and collapsing as Birth looked at this.
"Eh?! What's wrong with them?" Birth said as OOO noticed too.
"Oh nuts..." OOO said, remembering about this part, only to get a talon slash to the helmet as OOO's Taka Helmet was starting to flash and spark.
"Gotta change..." OOO muttered, removing the Taka Medal for a Blue Medal and scanning his belt.
SHACHI!
UNAGI!
BATTA!
OOO was now in the combo of ShaUBa as Bassdrum laughed for some reason. OOO sent a spray of water that collided with a wave of fire from the Condor Yummy, causing steam to fill the area around them both. OOO's eyes flashed yellow as he let out a SONAR wave. Seeing the Yummy in the steam cloud, he leaped forward and planted a powerful double kick to its chest.
"The Fairy Tones are powerless once again! All part of my plan!" Bassdrum gloated as the Fairy Tones weakly groaned on the ground.
"How did this happen?" Melody said in shock, just as a familiar growl got the three Cures and one Rider's attention.
"Uh oh..." Birth muttered as the Negatone growled as Melody, Rhythm and Beat rushed towards the Negatone.
"Girls, wait!" Birth called out as suddenly three giant bandages wrapped around the trio and stuck them to the Negatone's left arm as it chuckled evilly.
"Geez, talk about bad health care..." Birth joked.
"Now is not pun time!" OOO yelled while still struggling with the Yummy.
"Enough of that!" is heard as OOO and Birth glanced on the roof of one of the buildings.
"Cure Muse!" The Precure exclaimed in surprise as Cure Muse summoned her multicolored Piano Keys around her and launched them towards the Negatone as it covered those Bandages and destroyed them, freeing the Cures. They leaped away while Cure Muse launched a second wave that washed over the Negatone.
"Now's the time!" Dodory declared as Melody and Rhythm nodded as Birth stepped forward.
"Beat, you better help OOO. Leave this to us three," Birth said as Beat nodded and leaped over towards OOO, who had just gotten knocked down by the Yummy, only for a boot to smash into the Condor Yummy's beak, sending it flying back.
Birth slotted in a Cell Medal and turned the crank quickly
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-BREAST CANNON-
Melody and Rhythm nodded together as they clasped hands, Melody's left hand and Rhythm's right hand, as they smiled.
"Precure Passionato Harmony!" The Duo declared together as they pointed their clasped hands at the trapped Negatone, while Birth slotted in two Cell Medals and turned the crank quickly.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-CELL BURST-
"Breast Cannon Shoot!" Birth called out as the cannon glowed bright red and fired a red blast that combined with the Precure's Golden blast towards the Negatone. The Combined blasts blasted the Negatone as it was purified, leaving the Medical Box as the Note was purified.
OOO and Cure Beat faced off with the Yummy. It screeched as OOO removed the Batta Medal.
"Time to wash him up!" OOO declared before rescanning his belt.
SHACHI!
UNAGI!
TAKO!
SHA-SHA-SHA-U-TA! SHA-SHA-SHA-U-TA!
OOO was covered in a blue glow as he changed into the Marine Combo, ShaUTa. The Yummy screeched as Beat rushed forward and spun a kick that crashed into the Yummy, sending it skidding back as OOO quickly brought his hand to his O-Scanner and scanned his belt again.
SCANNING CHARGE!
OOO leaped up and launched both whips, which wrapped around the Yummy, pulling him up towards OOO as the Tako Legs combined to form a drill point that spun fast. "Octo Banish!" OOO declared, slamming into the Yummy and destroying it in a rain of Cell Medals.
Bassdrum growled in rage at both monsters failing to defeat any of them. "In that case...time to retreat!" Bassdrum declared as the Trio Minor left.
"Jeez, Bassdrum's plan is quite the fail," Baritone teased as Bassdrum growled out a 'shut up'.
Hummy looked at the exhausted Fairy Tones in worry as the Note they rescued entered Dory as Hummy took a look inside. "W-We don't have any Notes?!" Hummy said in shock.
"Sorry-dodo, the Trio took them-dodo," Dory groaned out as Hummy looked at them all.
"I didn't know...sorry for not noticing sooner..." Hummy said softly as Dodory spoke up.
"Dory and the others worked too hard trying to get the Notes back-dodo," Dodory said as Melody approached the Fairy Tones.
"That's why you had no energy, you guys were working so hard by yourselves..." Melody said softly, picking up Shiry as OOO approached as did the others.
"For now we gotta figure out how to fix them," OOO said as Melody nodded softly.
'Hibiki!' The voice spoke again as Melody stood up.
"That voice again...who is that...?" Melody asked as Dodory provided the answer.
"It has to be the Crescendo Tone-dodo!" Dodory said as Melody looked at the Fairy Tone and Cure Muse.
"Crescendo Tone?" Melody asked.
'Hibiki, the Fairy tones are growing weaker. Time is running out,' The Voice of the Crescendo Tone said softly.
"How can I save the Fairy Tones?!" Melody called out.
'You need to come to Major Land. With your friends as well,' The Crescendo Tone spoke.
"Eh?! We need to go to Major Land?!" Melody said in shock.
"So the answer is there..." Birth said softly as OOO nodded.
"It seems that way...I guess we better go fast!" OOO said as the other Cures nodded as did Hummy.
Shortly after school ended, our group of heroes had gathered at the Cathedral, away from prying eyes.
Ryan was currently watching as Hummy began to summon the path to Major Land while also polishing one of his Core Medals, mostly out of boredom. He also noticed that Hibiki and Itsuko were playing Rock, Paper, Scissors...and Hibiki was winning as the pair kept trying to outdo the other.
Kanade and Ellen were watching Hummy work for now as the kitten smiled and nodded. "All done!" She cheered as finally they noticed a path of multicolored piano keys formed and was shooting up into the air.
"Okay! We're all set! Follow me!" Hummy cheered, jumping onto the piano keys as she began floating upward.
"We better go first," Ryan said as Itsuko nodded his head. The two Riders approached the pathway and stepped on, only to be sent flying forward.
"WOAH!" Ryan and Itsuko yelled as they were launched forward. Ellen smiled and gripped Hibiki and Kanade's hands as the trio followed.
"Wow! This is amazing!" Hibiki cheered as she looked at the passing clouds as Kanade looked downward.
"W-we're so far up? Kanon Town looks tiny..." Kanade said as Hummy smiled.
"Yay! Let's go to Major Land!" Hummy cheered as Hummy had a special stand for the tired Fairy Tones to rest on. The heroes headed skyward towards the entrance to Major Land, not noticing the peering eyes of the Trio Minor watching them go before the evil trio nodded and returned to their base.
Later...
"What? Crescendo Tone?" Mephisto asked as the Trio Minor had quickly informed him of the Pretty Cures' and Kamen Riders' action.
"Yes. They were called by this Tone and are heading to Major Land," Bassdrum said, not noticing the serious look in Mephisto's eyes as Falsetto continued.
"I wanted to give chase right away... but Bassdrum loves to stall," Falsetto said as he and Baritone looked at Bassdrum who glared at them.
"Shut up! Mephisto-sama! Now is the best chance to defeat them! We'll go after them and finish the deed!" Bassdrum said as Mephisto finally spoke.
"You shall not go," Mephisto said calmly, to the shock of the Trio Minor.
"Why not?!" Bassdrum asked wondering why they were being told to not finish off their weakened enemies.
"They can't do anything in Major Land. Where they intend to go...will destroy them for us!" Mephisto said as he looked at them. "For now, you three continue looking for Notes for the Legendary Score!" Mephisto ordered before he vanished, cutting the connection as the trio nodded.
Mephisto, back in Minor Land, chuckled softly as he smirked. "The Pretty Cure and Kamen Riders will end today!" Mephisto said as he began to laugh.
Back with our heroes, the group had finally reached Major Land as Ryan and Itsuko looked around as did Hibiki and Kanade.
"Hey! I think I see it!" Ryan called out as the group noticed up ahead was Major Land.
"Wow! It's so Pretty!" Hibiki said as Kanade smiled brightly, looking at Hummy and Ellen.
"This is where you two are from?" Kanade asked.
"Ah, this wind feels so nostalgic..." Ellen whispered softlym glad to be back home just as Itsuko and Hibiki noticed a floating building.
"Say Hummy? What is that floating thing over there?" Itsuko asked as Hummy turned and saw the building.
"Oh that's the concert hall where I'll sing the Melody of Happiness!" Hummy said as Ryan smiled softly. Hummy then looked down at the crystal clear lake.
"That lake is where I always caught yummy fish from," Hummy said before noticing a nearby mountain and continued. "That mountain is where Siren got lost as a child and cried!" Hummy said as Ellen blushed bright red.
"Hummy! Don't tell them that!" Ellen said as Hummy chuckled softly and apologized.
"Hey, Hummy. We aren't here to play," Kanade said softly as they were approaching Aphrodite's castle.
Shortly after...
Soon, they reached Queen Aphrodite's castle as she smiled at the 5 heroes.
"I thank you all for coming," Aphrodite greeted them as Hibiki smiled.
"It's good to see you again, Aphrodite-sama," Hibiki greets as Kanade nods softly.
"This is the first time we've met face to face. I cannot thank you all enough for what you've done. Hummy, thank you for guiding the Precure and Kamen Riders all this time," Aphrodite said as Hummy smiled, enjoying the praise while Ryan chuckled faintly.
"Now, Hummy! Now's not the time for that!" a voice was heard as a parrot then flew into view and spoke.
"A talking Parrot..." Itsuko said, rubbing the back of his head as Hummy remembered why they came here again.
"Oh yeah! The Fairy Tones are out of energy!" Hummy said, turning around to show the 7 tired Fairy Tones.
"Aphrodite-sama. We're here to find where the Crescendo Tone is!" Hibiki explained while Ryan stayed silently for now.
"Could you please tell us what the Crescendo Tone is?" Kanade asked.
"The Crescendo Tone is the Fairy that created all the sound and music in this world." Aphrodite said softly, to the surprise of the Precure and Itsuko while Ryan just listened in to a story he had heard before.
"The Fairy Tones were born from it," The Parrot said to Hummy's shock.
"EH?! What did you say?! I didn't know that!" Hummy said as Aphrodite continued to speak.
"The Crescendo Tone lives in a special item of legend. The Healing Chest." Aphrodite said, to the confusion of the heroes (minus Ryan) as she continued. "It is a treasure that Major Land has protected for a very long time. But a deep darkness invaded this land and stole the Healing Chest," Aphrodite said as the group began walking through the palace. "I do not know who stole it. But during that time, the Healing Chest was sealed away in the Evil Forest," Aphrodite said, to Ellen's shock.
"The Evil Forest?!" She exclaimed as Ryan rubbed the back of his head.
"Not a very original name..." Ryan commented a little.
"Do you know where that is?" Kanade asked Ellen who nodded softly.
"Yes, it's a forbidden forest in which no one should go near," Ellen said as Aphrodite nodded her head softly.
"Many warriors have attempted to conquer the forest. But...the monster that guards the Healing Chest still lives. I'm sure there is a special meaning for the Crescendo Tone to call out to you. You need to combine your powers and take back the Healing Chest!" Aphrodite said as Hibiki, Kanade and Ellen nodded while Itsuko grinned and Ryan smiled calmly.
"You can count on us, Your Highness," Ryan said, just as a glow came from the girls' Cure Modules.
"The Cure Modules are responding to your strong feelings to save the Fairy Tones! With my help, you can transform!" Aphrodite said as she formed three glowing beams of light. "Now go, Legendary Precure!" Aphrodite called out as the beams were absorbed into the Cure Modules, bathing the trio in light as they transformed into their Pretty Cure forms.
"Well then... we can't stay out, can we?!" Itsuko cheered as Ryan nodded, attaching his OOO Driver and slotting in his three Medals.
"Henshin!" Ryan called out, scanning his belt.
TAKA!
TORA!
BATTA!
TA-TO-BA! TATOBA TA-TO-BA!
Itsuko then attached his Birth Driver, bringing out a Cell Medal.
"Henshin!" He declared while slotting the Medal in and turning the crank.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
He was quickly covered by the Gachapon pod as his Kamen Rider Birth Armor formed around him. He rubbed his gloved hands together to signify that he was ready.
"I wish you all luck...Pretty Cure, Kamen Riders!" Aphrodite said as the 3 Precure and 2 Riders nodded.
"You can count on us, Aphrodite-sama!" They said together before they quickly headed out and headed towards the Evil Forest.
"Aphrodite-sama, will the 5 of them alone be enough?" The Parrot asked as Aphrodite smiled softly.
"We just need to believe in them...this is an important task they have ahead of them," Aphrodite said.
Later...
Hummy panted as she rested while the heroes looked at a glowing portal in front of them.
"This looks like the place...once we go in here we'll reach the Evil Forest..." Birth said as OOO clenched his fists.
"Be ready for anything," OOO said calmly.
"OOO is right...this forest stands between Major Land and Minor Land," Beat said. Melody and OOO stepped forward and the pair curiously poked a hand each through.
"Be careful," Rhythm said softly as OOO and Melody peeked their heads inside the strange portal.
"Ngh... I can't see anything... it's nothing but darkness..." Melody said as the pair got themselves back onto the other side.
"She's right. Not even my Taka Vision could see through that darkness.." OOO said before the portal suddenly glowed.
"That's not good..." Birth said before a sudden vacuum suction sucked in Melody, causing her to scream.
"Understatement of the century!" OOO yelled as he dug his Tora Claws into the dirt. But it wasn't enough as Rhythm and Beat were sucked in followed by Birth and OOO with Hummy being the last.
"I REALLY HATE PORTALS!" OOO yelled out as they were sucked into the darkness...
(Cutaway 1: Shows Hibiki playing music on a Cure Module as Ellen, Kanade, Ryan and Itsuko listen. Followed quickly by Kanade playing on a Cure Module as well as Hibiki listens with the others...next showing Hummy playing on a Cure Module only to gain a Purple Glow and floats only to land on the Suite Pretty Cure title that appears as the group softly smiles.)
(Cutaway 2: Chibi versions of the group are seen around a unique chest or box as Hibiki traces her fingers across a Piano looking keys on the chest as it glows releasing the Cresendo Tone as it flies away with the group chasing after the Cresendo Tone as the Kamen Rider OOO title appears.)
Melody groaned as she began to stand up from her position. She slowly got to her feet and noticed she was in a strange new place...a forest full of dead trees and a strange red sky...
"What is this place?" Melody wondered as she looked around.
In a similiar forest, but with a strange green tinted sky, was Rhythm who was looking around for any sign of the others.
"Everyone! Where are you?!" She called out, but received no answer. Meanwhile, in another exact copy, this time with a cyan coloured sky, was Beat who was looking around her location as well.
"Where is everyone...?" She wondered softly only to notice something ahead and gasp.
In front of each of the Pretty Cure, a lightning bolt struck the ground in front of them. Slowly, a strange statue formed out of the ground. Its head vaguely resembled the stone heads on Easter Island and was proportionally larger than the rest of its body. There were three different versions of the same golem for each of them; one being light red in colour, one a light green colour and one a cyan colour.
"You are the Legendary Warriors, Precure?" The Statue asked
"The three of you and your two friends are stuck in seperate dimensions. Now show us your power!" The Golems demanded in unison as they clenched their right fists and swung a punch towards each of the Precure. Each of them dodged the attack as Melody quickly rushed forward, her fist colliding with the fist of the Golem she was fighting. She grit her teeth as this monster's power.
"In this dark space, your powers, special traits and weaknesses are all exposed!" The Statues said all together. While in Rhythm's dimension the Golem she was fighting was sending punch after punch towards her as she quickly dodged.
"You are naive to think you can defeat the forces of evil!" The Golems said combined to the Pretty Cure while in Beat's dimension she was sending punch after punch to the Golem but its arms stayed up to block the hits.
"It is impossible for you to obtain the Healing Chest!" The Golems said in unison as Melody and the Golem were both pushed back.
"We won't know until we try!" Melody declared.
"We won't give up, even if we are seperated!" Rhythm called out.
"We will definitely save the Fairy Tones!" Beat called out as she planted a kick that sent the Golem stumbling back. All three golems suddenly fired a blast of dark red energy that smashed into the three Cures, knocking them down into the ground.
"Plenty of People have tried fruitlessly to obtain the Healing Chest. Even I have. But no matter how strong the warriors were, they were taken in by the darkness!" The Voice of Mephisto spoke back in Minor Land. "They became slaves to evil! The same will soon befall the Pretty Cure and Kamen Riders!" Mephisto declared, with an almost sad undertone to it hidden away in the depth of his voice.
"The five of them should be able to overcome this. Even when seperated, their hearts are connected," Aphrodite said softly.
Back with the Precure, the Statue chuckled softly in each of their dimensions.
"Now let me tell you what your weakness is. Your trust in your friends!" The Golem said to all three of them.
"How is that a weakness?!" Melody declared as she swung a punch that collided with the Golem again.
"The secret to your strength is the harmony power!" The Golem said while Rhythm was also in a power struggle with the golem. "In other words, you are powerless by yourselves!" The Golem continued as Beat was in the same position. "Now, let yourselves fall into darkness! Legendary Warriors, Precure! It's over!" The Golem mocked as the girls glared at him.
"Don't look down on us!" They said together, as in each dimension the same thing happened: each of them leaped as they each hit an axe kick towards the Golem.
"Even when we're separated, the trust we have in our partners becomes our strength! The Beats in our hearts...are unstoppable!" The trio declared in unison, before hitting a stomp kick onto the head of the statue in each dimension.
Just as the trio landed on the ground, a pair of blurs suddenly appeared, showing two Noise Headphones that attached to each girl's ears and suddenly plagued their ears with a terrible Noise!
"Enjoy the Noise of ultimate evil! Friendship? Love? Trust? They are all pointless! Bow in front of the power of evil!" The Golem declared as Melody clutched her ears as did Rhythm and Beat.
'Kanade, can you hear me?' Melody thought, hoping that her friend could hear her.
'Hibiki?' Rhythm thought as she could hear her friend's thoughts.
'I never felt so happy. I was able to get along with you again, like when we were kids. We fight sometimes, but I love talking to you and playing the piano with you,' Melody said mentally as she continued. 'I want to eat your cakes again,' Melody finished as Rhythm smiled softly.
'Ellen! You're there, right?' Melody asked, reaching out to her other friend.
'Hibiki?' Beat wondered how she was doing this as Melody smiled.
'Out of all of us, you went through the most pain and frustration, right? But you overcame that hatred and became a Precure. You are now our friend. As long as we trust each other, our hearts are connected, right?' Melody mentally said as Beat smiled and nodded faintly.
'No matter what happens...the three of us...as well as Ryan and Itsuko...we'll always...always...be friends!' Melody mentally called out as the Noise Headphones suddenly shattered on her, Rhythm and Beat, bathing all three dimensions in a golden light...
In another location...
OOO groaned and slowly stood onto his feet as he looked around...
"Great. Just what we needed..." OOO muttered as he saw he was in some kind of forest...the trees were all dead and without life and the sky was tinted a purple color. He remembered this part from watching the show all too well.
At the same time, Birth was standing up himself and looking around his forest, which was the same as OOO's but the sky was coloured a dark green color.
"A forest? Hey! Melody! Rhythm! Beat! OOO!" Birth called out as the Kamen Rider looked around, aiming his Birth Buster in multiple directions.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, stunning both of them as they covered their faces. Then, in front of them, an individual golem made of rock and titanic in size rose from the depths of the earth. It's head vaguely resembled the stone heads on Easter Island and was proportionally larger.
OOO took a step back and was ready...the Golem had a Purple Color to it, matching the sky's color as he glared at the monster.
'Of course...I forgot about Moai...a guardian made by Noise...making sure no one could regain the Cresendo Tone...' OOO thought as he knew this was gonna be tough.
Birth was facing the exact same Golem but this one was a Dark Green Color, matching the sky's color as well. The one in front of Birth said this, "Ah... Kamen Rider Birth. What good are you here?"
"Who the heck are you supposed to be?!" Birth snapped as he kept his Birth Buster at the ready.
The one in front of OOO looked at him for a second before saying, "...What are you? I sense no soul in you..."
OOO reacted in shock. 'No soul?!' he thought. 'What the hell does that mean?!' "N-no soul!? What're you talking about?! How can I have no soul?!" OOO yelled with a clenched fist.
"Hmph. It speaks," said the golem. "Fascinating, for a soulless automaton. It even sounds life-like. But automaton or not, you will not get the Healing Chest!" it roared, rearing a fist back as it did so.
OOO's Batta legs glowed with a insect chittering noise as OOO leaped away from the punch and backflipping before his feet touched one of the trees as OOO used it as a platform and launched himself at the Golem and attempted a kick strike to its head.
Birth widened his eyes and quickly hopped backwards, rapidly firing shots from the Birth Buster at the Golem as it had attempted the same reared back punch.
Reacting quickly, he slotted a Cell Medal into the Birth Driver and turned the Crank as fast as he could.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-CUTTER WING-
The Cutter Wing's machinery quickly formed on Birth's back as he used the Jetpack to fly away from the punch of the Golem and quickly fire rapid shots from the Birth Buster towards the Golem monster.
"Sorry to ruin your evil guard duty! But we'll be taking that Healing Chest back!" Birth declared as he got another Cell Medal out and ready to use.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-DRILL ARM-
Birth quickly summoned his Drill Arm, having holstered his Birth Buster for now, and charged at the Golem, rearing back a drill punch as he went.
KUWAGATA!
KUJAKU!
CHEETAH!
Having gone into the GataJaTah Random Combo, OOO sped around the golem, firing off fireballs and electric blasts as he went. "What do you mean by I have no soul?!" he asked as he went. "If I didn't have a soul, I wouldn't be alive!"
OOO continued to speed around, using his running speed to easily avoid the punches of the Golem and firing bolts of green lightning and a barrage of fireballs as well.
"What you're saying doesn't make any sense! I have emotions! No automaton, nothing without a soul has that!" OOO yelled ou,t as a smoke cloud had formed over the Golem from that last attack that covered all of it.
"I meant what I said. I sense no soul from you. Something about you doesn't feel right; as if you are not a part of this world," the golem explained, before firing a blast of Noise Energy that caught OOO off guard, knocking him back to the ground.
As he got up, he latched on to something the golem had said. "'Not part of this World'... of course, I'm not. I'm not from this World or any other like it at all!" he exclaimed, popping open the TaJa Spinner as he did. He replaced three of the Cell Medals in it with the Core Medals in his Driver and scanned the Spinner.
KUWAGATA!
KUJAKU!
CHEETAH!
GIN-GIN-GIN-GIGA SCAN!
OOO reared back his left hand as the TaJa Spinner began letting off Green Electricity, Red Fire and faint Yellow Gusts of wind. OOO quickly performed a punching motion and fired a ring of lightning, fire and wind at the Golem that smashed into its form.
"Phew... You had me worried there for a moment," OOO said as he got ready for the Golem's next attack.
"Now, get ready to get your butt kicked. We'll soon be taking that Healing Chest off your hands," OOO joked.
"Hmph. That'll be the day!" proclaimed the Golem as it charged up a truly immense blast, so powerful that even the air itself was being pulled towards its open maw. OOO was dragged along, until he switched out his Arm and Leg Medals.
KUWAGATA!
KAME!
TAKO!
But even sticking to the ground and shielding himself wasn't enough to save him from the giant explosion that engulfed him.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-CRANE ARM-
Birth moved his left arm back as the Crane Arm combined with the Drill Arm. He then launched the Drill Arm attached to a cable at the Golem.
"Nothing you do will stop Me, OOO or the Pretty Cure from saving the Fairy Tones!" Birth declared. The Drill Arm then collided with the head of Moai, but somehow wasn't drilling through the evil enhanced statue.
"Tch. Pathetic," the golem commented. "I see you and I know you, Kamen Rider Birth, Hamataro Itsuko. Nothing you do truly matters in the grand scheme of things. OOO is a better Rider than you are, and he and the Precure are much better heroes than you'll ever be. Why struggle so hard?"
Birth gritted his teeth as he glared at the Golem.
"Because I have the power to protect others! So what if I'm not the most powerful! I only care about having enough power! My Desire to Protect will never stop!" Birth called out as he charged forward and dismissed the Drill and Crane Arms before slotting in another Cell Medal.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-SHOVEL ARM-
Birth's left arm soon formed the Shovel Arm and he swung it hard, making it collide with the Golem's head.
"FOOL!" The Golem yelled before suddenly a blast of energy was fired at Birth who quickly slotted in another Medal and turned the crank.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-BREAST CANNON-
Birth quickly slotted in three Cell Medals, turned the crank and gripped the handles of the cannon.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-CELL BURST-
Birth quickly gathered energy in the cannon as it collided with the Golem's blast of power, blinding Birth as a flash of light covered the area...
Unknown to our heroes, the 5 dimensions combined into a single Dimension of the Evil Forest!
Melody slowly opened her eyes and saw she was in what seemed to be the same forest but now the sky was a greyish colour and standing beside her was Rhythm and Beat. "Rhythm?...Beat?" She asked, glad to see her friends alright as the trio groaned only to hear a crash in front of them as appearing was OOO in his most Recent Random Combo of GataKaKo.
"OOO!" Beat said in surprise as the girls approached him. OOO groaned and sat up only for them to hear a yell and see Birth falling and crashing on top of OOO.
"OW! Get off me!" OOO said as the two Riders got back to their feet.
"Birth? OOO? You alright?" Melody asked as OOO groaned.
"Never better Melody," OOO chuckled as Birth gave a thumbs up as the trio smiled.
"Curse you, Precure! Kamen Riders!" is heard in front of them as the Golem combined with its 4 other versions, turning into a grey colored golem while glowing a dark red colour. A huge pile of rocks suddenly came out of the ground and formed into a giant form, with its head now looking size accurate.
A small light floated around and the Precure and Riders noticed that inside were Hummy and the Fairy Tones.
"Let them go!" Melody demanded as the Golem chuckled.
"Then surrender and bow in front of the darkness! If you won't..." The Golem said as he suddenly trapped the bubble between two of his fingers and began to squeeze as a crack formed.
"Stop it!" OOO yelled out as the Golem chuckled.
"You can't do anything, I see. It's time for you to die!" The Golem roared as he launched a blast of dark red energy that crashed into our heroes, sending them crashing to the ground.
"Everyone! Forget about me and fight!" Hummy yelled out.
"Sorry Hummy, but we ain't leaving you behind!" Birth said.
"No matter what happens, we will save you and the Fairy Tones!" Melody declared as the 5 of them got back to their feet. The Golem just sent barrage after barrage of dark red energy blasts that covered our heroes in dust... Hummy whimpered in worry before the smoke cleared, showing the heroes out of their transformations.
"You cannot hope to save the Fairy Tones..." Moai said in his deep monotone voice as Ryan and the rest of the group tried to stand again, while the Rock Golem continued to hold onto the strange bubble with Hummy and the Fairy Tones inside. Hummy had tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Hibiki! Kanade! Siren! Ryan! Itsuko!" Hummy cried out. "Everyone! Don't give up!"
"What fools... sacrificing themselves for something so miniscule," The Golem laughed.
"Unforgivable..." Hibiki groaned as she began to stand up properly.
"Something... so miniscule?" Kanade groaned out as she began standing up too.
"How can you stand? You're powerless in front of the powers of evil!" The Golem declared as Ellen was starting to get up too.
"We're doing our best, too..." Ellen groaned as the trio got back up as Ryan and Itsuko began to follow suit.
"All life is precious!" Ryan grunts out as his OOO Driver was still on his waist as he began moving a hand to the Medal Holder.
"How dare you place your own values on them..." Hibiki said as the group were standing tall as Ryan picked up a trio of... Purple Medals...
"This...is..." The Three girls groaned out "...Unforgivable!" They said together as they glowed a golden color as Itsuko got his Birth Driver back out as well.
"Henshin!" Itsuko called out as the group were covered by a bright golden glow...covering up even Itsuko's transformation.
"What?!" The Golem said in shock as in front of them were Melody, Rhythm, Beat and Kamen Rider Birth again.
Ryan calmly walked in front as he slotted in the Pterodactyl medal.
"We shall not give up..." Ryan began as he slotted in the Triceratops Medal.
"...when we believe in our strength and the strength of our friends!" Ryan said, slotting in the Tyrannosaurus Medal.
"We are unstoppable! HENSHIN!" Ryan yelled out as he scanned his belt.
PTERA!
TORIKERA!
TYRANNO!
PU-TO-TYRA~NNO-SAURUS!
Ryan was covered in three rings of purple medals that formed into the new combo that formed around him...as a sudden wave of freezing energy spread out forward, freezing up the Golem's legs for a moment as the new form of OOO roared, causing the ice to shatter and making the Golem stumble back.
"Count Up the Medals! Invincible Power! Kamen Rider OOO! PuToTyra Combo!" OOO roared out.
It was then that something strange happened. Maybe it was due to the interactions of the differing powers in the air, maybe it was just something that happened in Major Land. But suddenly, music started playing out of nowhere.
[Insert Song: POWER to TEARER by Eiji Hino (Shu Watanabe) and Akira Kushida]
The girls and Birth looked around in puzzlement, wondering why there was music playing suddenly. As for OOO, he recognized it immediately as PuToTyra's Image Song, POWER to TEARER. He questioned why it was playing, but put it out of his mind when he saw Moai attacking! That was when the singing started.
PU-TO-TY-RA!
PU-TO-TYRANNO~SAURUS~! (Saurus~!)
PU-TO-TY-RA!
PU-TO-TYRANNO~SAURUS~! (Saurus~!)
OOO noticed the attack coming as his Ptera Wings suddenly revealed themselves. He leaped up high, avoiding the attacking Moai. A sudden roar was heard as the Tyranno Medal's weapon, the Tail Divider, formed now as OOO slammed the tail into Moai's head with surprising force.
Birth quickly got to action as he got his Birth Buster ready, firing rapid fire shots that made small explosions against Moai's form.
Tsuyoku nareba naru hodo Nani no tame ni chikara [As you become stronger, it becomes important]
Tsukau beki ka Judge ga Juuyou ni naru sa (Kimi jishin no) [To judge what you use your power for (your very own)]
Furikazashite Kyoufu de Subete te ni iretara… (Machigau na!) [Brandish it—once you get everything through fear (don't make a mistake!)]
Inoru hito no Nakami wa Tada no egoist (Sou darou?) [The core of a prayer is just an egoist (isn't that true?)]
Melody and Rhythm leaped up and punched Moai in the face, while Beat flew in from the sky with a kick.
Moai stumbled back from the hits before roaring and sending a black of dark red energy towards the group, who quickly dodged as OOO flew towards Moai, dodging each shot with speed as he reared a fist back and punched Moai in the face before the Ptera Wings glowed and suddenly breathed freezing wind into Moai's face, freezing his head for a few moments before OOO leaped back, skidding across the ground on all fours.
Sono shunkan Nomikomareru Dark side no kiken na yokubou [Devoured in that moment, a dangerous desire of the Dark Side]
"Alright...time to see if this works..." OOO said as he reared back a fist and suddenly punched into the ground, causing a purple glow to be seen as OOO ripped out the Medagabryu.
"Woah!" Birth said seeing the giant Axe like weapon.
POWER to TEARER Kokoro no tsuyosa [POWER to TEARER—strength of the heart]
Tattaima Tamesareru toki [Just now, a time to be tested]
Hakaisha wo shugosha ni kaeru Sono negai de control [A destroyer becomes a protector, control with that wish]
OOO slotted in a few Cell Medals into the slot on the Axe blade, then closed the Tyranno mouth.
GOKKUN!
PU-TO-TY-RA!
A MIDI-fied version of PuToTyra's transformation jingle played, as OOO charged up the Axe and flew right at Moai.
POWER to TEARER Saa tenazukero [POWER to TEARER—now tame it]
Taiko kara tsuzuku chikara wo [If you immerse your body in]
Sono karada ni matou no nara Kuu ka kuwareru ka no mission [That ancient power, the mission is about devouring or being devoured]
Wow… POWER to TEARER
OOO roared out as he slashed the axe blade against Moai, sending him stumbling as he dropped the ball containing Hummy.
"NO!" He roared and reached out to grab the orb again only for OOO's tail to extend and wrap around the ball, pulling it away as OOO sighed faintly.
"Ryan-san! Thank you!" Hummy cheered as the Fairy Tones were inside too as OOO nodded before looking at the others.
"I think...it's time...we end this..." OOO said, in a slightly tired tone, as he got out Four Cell Medals and slotted them back inside again, closing the Dinosaur head on the axe.
Wow... PU-TO~TY~RA!
PU-TO-TY-RA!
PU-TO-TYRANNO~SAURUS~! (Saurus~!)
PU-TO-TY-RA!
PU-TO-TYRANNO~SAURUS~! (Saurus~!)
Melody, Rhythm and Beat nodded as they each extended a hand forward as the familiar G Clef sign appeared in front of them.
"Get ready to face the power of our friendship!" Melody, Rhythm and Beat declared while OOO's Medagabryu absorbed the Cell Medals that OOO fed it.
GOKKUN!
Instead of reopening the blade, he changed it into the Bazooka mode and gripped the grip that held the trigger.
PU-TO-TYRA~NNO HIS~SATSU!
Birth also followed suit as he placed the Cell Buster Container infront of the barrel of the Birth Buster.
-CELL BURST-
"Precure Passionate Harmony!" Melody, Rhythm and Beat declared together, sending a massive beam of light towards Moai.
"Birth Buster: Charged Shot!" Birth called out, firing an orb of energy towards Moai.
"Strain Doom!" OOO roared out, firing a massive beam of Purple energy!
"Go Our Harmony Power! Resonate!" The Precure yelled out and they're beam gained more power and pushed through The Golem's chest with Birth and OOO's attacks.
[end song]
Moai groaned as he was defeated. "Curse you, Precure! Kamen Riders! But this isn't the end, it's only the beginning!" The Golem laughed as his body turned into black and began to vanish before a flash of gold washed over the group as the Evil Forest vanished.
"Woah..." Birth said in shock as the forest was replaced by a beautiful meadow flowers blooming all over as the bubble that had been holding Hummy and the Fairy Tones popped. Freeing them from it's confinement as Hummy sighed in relief. OOO grunts and suddenly fell to his knees.
"OOO! You alright?" Beat asked in concern as she, Melody and Rhythm helped him up as OOO weakly gripped his belt and turned it back to normal as the armour vanished.
"I'm fine...that combo is my most powerful...it takes a lot out of me..." Ryan groaned as he stood up with help from the girls.
"Hey girls! Look there!" Birth called out pointing ahead on a nearby plateau was some kind of key as the group headed towards the key.
"Pull the key out of the ground!" Dory called out as the group reached the key as Melody gripped it and grunts as she pulled the black key out of the ground with a strange almost beak shaped end of the key as Melody looked at the giant key.
"Wow...that's big," Birth complimented as suddenly from the tip of the key another line of those multicoloured piano keys launched out forming a path towards the sky as a golden glow bathed the sky and formed a white door with a keyhole, an Aurora forming on the sky.
"Well um I guess that's where..." Ryan began to say as the key in Melody's arms suddenly flew towards the door and turned the lock with a clunk sound.
The Doors slowly opened showing a golden glow inside as appearing was a chest...a simple looking white box with golden trim on the lid and the corners of the box. A Pink Handle was ontop while the box has a lock shaped like a Golden Fairy Tone with feather like wings but on it's crystal like part is had the colours of Blue, Pink, White and Purple.
"Well done making it this far, Pretty Cure and Kamen Riders." A voice from the chest speaks as the chest opened revealing a jewel inside with multi-coloured piano keys as well. Appearing inside the Jewel was a Golden Fairy Tone with large Gold Feather like wings and also was wearing a tiara.
"I am the source of all sounds, the Cresendo Tone." The Cresendo Tone spoke as Ryan smiled as they had done it.
"Come, Fairy Tones." Cresendo Tone said as all 7 of the Fairy Tones entered the same jewel giving off that same music chime each time as the healing chest floated down into Melody's arms.
"Now play the notes lining the Healing Chest." Cresendo Tone said as Melody nods and slides her fingers across the piano keys creating a lovely little tune before appearing in a flash was Dory who looked good as new as the Precure smile as Melody plays the tune 6 more times restoring Rery, Miry, Fary, Lary, Sory and Shiry to normal as well.
(Later)
"You did it! The Seal is broken!" The Parrot cheered as Aphrodite smiles at the 5 heroes.
"I knew you could do it." Aphrodite said softly as Ryan nods softly.
"We couldn't have done it without our powers combined." Hibiki said as Itsuko smiles as Hibiki looks at the Healing Chest in her hands. "We should give this back to you." Hibiki said.
"No, you are taking that with you." Aphrodite said with a smile. "After all it was the Cresendo Tone that chose you all." Aphrodite said looking at the Healing Chest. "The chest has other powers too. I'm sure it will help you against Minor Land." Aphrodite said as she waves goodbye as the 5 of them alongside Hummy, the Fairy Tones and the Healing Chest head back to Kanon town as night was falling on the city.
Aphrodite smiles softly as she sighed. "They may be able to fully use those powers." She said softly to herself.
A few days later, things had returned to normal for the group. Ellen was becoming better suited to her new school life with Hibiki and Kanade helping her as well as the group hanging out with Ryan and Itsuko whenever they could.
Right now, the trio were heading to school and Hibiki looked a little depressed.
"Good morning Hibiki," Kanade greeted, giving her friend a soft poke to the cheek. "Today is another great day as usual, right?" She asked her friend as Hibiki continued to pout.
"Nope! There's a quiz today and I was trying to study yesterday...I fell asleep!" Hibiki said, gripping the top of her head.
"If you had kept a proper sleeping schedule, Hibiki..." Kanade began as Hibiki raised one hand softly.
"Okay, I know," She interrupted. "You can lecture me some other time. Did you study, Ellen?" Hibiki asked Ellen as Kanade frowned faintly.
"Yes, I already studied for the test," Ellen said as Hibiki felt her Intelligence dropping.
"Oh...what should I do?" Hibiki groaned. "Wait, I know! The Healing Chest!" Hibiki called out as she brought the Chest out of her school bag.
"What are you doing with that?" Kanade asked as the girls stopped at a nearby bench and Hibiki placed the Chest down.
"Remember what Aphrodite-sama told us when we got the Healing Chest?" Hibiki asked. "So maybe it can help me on my quiz..."
"Nope!" Kanade said as she held the Healing Chest. "You can't use it like that!" Kanade said as Hummy agreed.
"Then how do we use it?" Hibiki asked as Hummy sweatdropped and Kanade smiled.
"How about a Piggy Bank?" Kanade offered a possible option.
"There's no place for you to insert coins," Hummy pointed out as Ellen offered her own suggestion.
"Maybe a Jewelry Box?" Ellen suggested.
"It looks like it, but that's probably not it," Hummy said as the group continued to think.
"Oh well, just help me on the quiz, okay?" is heard as Hibiki had the Healing Chest again and was praying in front of it. Just as the others quickly rushed over to stop her, the jewel glowed, showing the Cresendo Tone. The others were surprised to see the Fairy Tones' creator so soon.
"Hibiki. You should work hard and study yourself," The Cresendo Tone said, causing Hibiki to freeze up. The Healing Chest soon closed shut and Hibiki groaned in frustration.
Unknown to them, watching from behind a bush was Falsetto, who was using a fan.
"Healing Chest?" He muttered before he vanished and headed back to base.
A little later, the girls had arrived at school while Hibiki was trying to study from a textbook...that was upside down?
"Hibiki...it's upside down," Kanade said as Hibiki groaned.
"It's no good. I don't know this at all! Oh yeah!" Hibiki said before she suddenly whistled. Just then, the door to the classroom opened up, showing that standing there in the threshold was Waon.
"Hibiki, did you call me?" Waon asked.
"Yes I did!" Hibiki cheered, glad that she had more help.
"Nishijima-san?" Kanade wondered how Waon heard that whistle.
"Waon, you said you'd help me when I'm in trouble, right?" Hibiki asked.
"Eh? You finally need my help?" Waon asked as Hibiki nodded her head. Waon grinned and gave a thumbs up.
One explanation later...
"...and that is pretty much it," Hibiki said, having finished her explanation.
"I see...how about this, last night...I was jogging in the neighborhood...and while I was taking a break...I heard these dogs bark like it was a symphony! Amazing, right?" Waon said.
"Wow, how interesting," Hibiki said as Kanade spoke up.
"Nishijima-san, so what does that story have to do with the quiz?" Kanade asked.
"Nothing," Waon said, to the shock of the three Precure. "I couldn't help you with your quiz, but the least I can do is cheer you up, Hibiki," Waon said.
"Well, I wanted you to help me with the quiz..." Hibiki began before Waon showed them her own quiz paper. The three Precure looked in shock at the high number.
"This is your last test?" Ellen asked in shock.
"What a score..." Kanade mumbled.
"Jeez, Hibiki. I won't lose to you in studying too, you know," Waon said as Hibiki chuckled weakly. "Well I gotta go! Later!" Waon waved as she left the classroom just as the bell for the next class rang.
"Ah! I didn't get anything done in the end!" Hibiki groaned out.
"What? Healing Chest?" The voice of Mephisto asked as Falsetto had reported what he discovered.
"Yes, it's a box about this big," Falsetto said as he made some motions with his hands to give an estimated size of it as Mephisto copied his hand movements for some reason?
"You idiot! They retrieved that from the Evil Forest!" Mephisto declared as Bassdrum spoke up.
"This is just me muttering...but is that place really that scary?" Bassdrum muttered.
"You idiot! Are you doubting me? I had quite the frightening experience with that forest." Mephisto said.
"Well...what happened?" Bassdrum asked.
"Um...what was it?" Mephisto muttered as he somehow couldn't remember, causing the Trio the Minor to facefault.
"Nevermind! Just go and steal the Healing Chest from the Precure and Kamen Riders before they can unlock its powers and hamper our Note collecting even more!" Mephisto said before he cut the connection and crossed his arms.
"What is going on...if that place was so frightening, why can't I remember?" Mephisto muttered as shown briefly was a pair of...noise headphones...
Meanwhile...
Back at the school, the test had finished as Hummy, Ellen and Kanade went to find Hibiki.
"I wonder how Hibiki's test went?" Hummy wondered as the trio found Hibiki curled up in a corner with a cloud of depression over her head. "I haven't even asked yet..." Hummy mumbled, seeing Hibiki in this state as did Kanade and Ellen.
"It's over for me..." Hibiki moaned while anime tears streamed down her face.
"You're overreacting," Kanade tried to reassure her.
"How did the two of you do?" Hibiki asked about their test results as the pair sweatdropped and tried to come up with something.
"This is Kanade's test," Hummy said, showing Hibiki the test which seemed to...shine?
"Stop that! That test is too amazing for me!" Hibiki declared, covering her eyes as Hummy stopped it as Hibiki began to get depressed again.
"This is Siren's test," Hummy said, showing an equally shining test paper.
"It'll be okay!" Kanade tried to say as Hibiki laid on the floor. "This isn't the only test." Kanade said.
"Yes. We still have midterms and finals. There are proficiency tests, too. Next year we have entrance exams, too..." Ellen explained as Hibiki cried out as Kanade flinched.
"Ellen, stop!" Kanade said as Ellen quickly stopped. "Well, we have PE next, so cheer up," Kanade said as Hibiki slumped as she got back to her feet.
"I guess you're right.." Hibiki muttered as she began to walk down the steps...but as she touched the step the sound of a piano's note was heard. Hibiki softly giggled while walking down and back up the stairs, making a little music, before reaching the bottom of the stairs to the applause of Hummy, Kanade and Ellen.
"Well, that was weird..." Hibiki said as she looked at the stairs as the Fairy Tones floated down and were clapping as well.
'The Fairy Tones were cheering me up,' Hibiki thought as she smiled and headed to PE as Kanade smiled.
"Good work you guys," Kanade said to the Fairy Tones.
"What-dodo?" Dory asked.
"That wasn't you?" Kanade asked the Fairy Tones who shook their heads. Kanade, out of curiosity, tapped one of the steps with her foot and got nothing. "This is weird...it's just a normal flight of stairs..."
Later...
It was now PE class for the girls and Hibiki was pumped up again.
"Alright! Time for PE!" Hibiki cheered as she did some cheers to warm up.
"Hibiki looks a lot happier now," Ellen said with a smile as Kanade nodded.
"Well, PE is her best class," Kanade said as Hibiki suddenly slumped in depression again.
"Yes, I can't do anything other than PE," Hibiki muttered as Kanade tried to apologise but the coach called everyone to line up and began to blow on his whistle..and giving off another music like that of a trumpet or something?
"W-What's with that?" Hibiki wondered as she laughed.
"Another sound?" Kanade wondered as she and Ellen glanced at each other.
Even more later...
Next up was lunch time for the group as Hibiki poked at her bento, probably not as hungry due to this test stuff.
"Hibiki. Here," Kanade offered as she showed a piece of her lunch as Kanade smiled.
"Thanks...Kanade," Hibiki said as she took the offered bite and smiled. "I'm already feeling better." Hibiki said.
"We're hungry, too-dodo," Dory said softly.
"What should we do?" Kanade asked the two Fairy Tones.
"Use the Healing Chest-rere," Rery said as Ellen began rummaging through her schoolbag.
"But we don't know how to use it yet," Hibiki said.
"Don't worry. I feel like this will work," Ellen said as she brought out the Healing Chest.
"Well then, um, give it a try, Ellen." Hibiki said as Ellen nodded and opened the chest, revealing the Crescendo Tone.
"Fairy Tones. Return to me," Crescendo Tone called out as the Fairy Tones flew into the jewel in the Healing Chest. Ellen smiled and began to play a little tune on the piano keys inside the Healing Chest. Ellen smiled and as she finished a beam of light launched skyward, showing all 7 Fairy Tones looking content and fully charged again.
"Looks like it worked well," Kanade said as Ellen smiled.
"Well, how about we head to Asagi's restaurant and say hi to Ryan and Itsuko?" Hibiki offered as Ellen smiled.
"That sounds good to me," Ellen said as the girls smiled.
A while later, with school finished for the day, the girls began heading to Asagi's restaurant while thinking over the events that happened today.
"But those sounds were quite strange..." Kanade muttered as Hibiki blinked her eyes softly.
"Eh? The Fairy Tones didn't do that?" Hibiki asked.
"Sorry, but we don't know anything-fafa." Fary said as the group continued walking and reached the town square where Souta was.
"Hibiki-nee-chan! How did your test go?" Souta asked.
"Whatever!" Hibiki muttered as Souta grinned.
"Sounds like normal for you. You screwed up, didn't you?!" Souta declared as Hibiki sighed and nodded softly.
"It's your own fault," is heard as Ako walked into view as Hibiki glared.
"Leave me alone!" She snapped as Ako smiled.
"I'll do that," Ako said as she took a step but a strange sound was heard like she was hitting a cymbal. Ako continued taking steps as Souta headed over and chuckled.
"Interesting! What's going on?" he wondered as Hibiki giggled softly and Ako faintly blushed and frowned as she stomped away, the sound still following her as Souta chased after his friend.
"I see you girls are having fun again?" is heard as the group turned to see the approaching Ryan who smiled.
"Hello, Ryan-san. We were just about to come visit you and Itsuko-san at the restaurant," Kanade greeted.
"Well, Itsuko is handling some after school visitors. So, what's up with the cymbal sounding ground?" Ryan asked, looking at Ako and Souta, who were just walking out of view.
"We don't know...this is the third time a strange sound has happened," Kanade said.
"Sound...hey! Why don't we ask Otokichi-san!" Hibiki offered a suggestion.
"That sounds like a good enough lead as we can hope for." Ryan said, knowing perfectly well where the sounds had been coming from. The group thenheaded off towards where Otokichi was usually located at; they soon heard that familiar music.
"What a beautiful performance." Kanade said softly as the three girls and one boy walked inside.
"I'm sure it's Otokichi-san," Hibiki said but as they saw the organ being played...the keys were being pressed on their own!
"There's no one there!" Kanade said as Ryan looked at the now shaking Ellen.
"The Organ's playing on it's own?!" Hibiki said. Ellen screamed and Hummy leaped into Ryan's arms as Ellen continued to run all over in fright.
"Ellen! Calm down!" Ryan called out.
"Please be quiet. You can't hear the performance otherwise," Otokichi said as Ellen was shaking him in fear.
"Otokichi-san! It's playing itself..." Ellen continued to stammer.
"Ellen! Please calm down!" Ryan called out again as Ellen stopped.
"Seems like the Fairy, the source of all sounds, is near." Otokichi said, to the surprise of the girls. "This is your doing, isn't it? Crescendo Tone!" Otokichi finished to the shock of the girls as the Healing Chest flew out of Hibiki's bag and floated in front of Otokichi and opened, revealing the Crescendo Tone!
"You seem well, Otokichi." Crescendo Tone greeted him as Otokichi smiled.
"Long time no see, Crescendo Tone," Otokichi greeted to the shock of the girls and Hummy as Ryan covered his mouth surreptitiously to stop chuckling.
"Just a little while longer, right?" Crescendo Tone asked Otokichi as they looked at the organ. "Will we make it?" The Crescendo Tone asked.
"I'll make sure we do. Definitely," Otokichi said calmly.
"Uh, sorry for interrupting..." Hibiki began.
"What is the relationship between you two?" Kanade finished the question.
"Well, you'll know soon enough," Otokichi said as Ryan smiled faintly.
"I hope you'll continue to help them, Ryan Stenhouse." Otokichi said to the Rider who smiled softly.
"Of course, Otokichi-san," Ryan said as Otokichi smiled. The group began to leave, letting Otokichi continue his work.
"I guess we discovered the source of the sounds today was the Crescendo Tone's power," Kanade said.
"Yes. That is correct. I did all of them to cheer Hibiki on. I thought that the fun sounds could give her energy," The Cresendo Tone said.
"But Hibiki fell asleep," Hummy teased.
"Shut up..." Hibiki muttered before looking at the Crescendo Tone. "But why for me?" Hibiki asked.
"I want to cheer on the people that are down," Crescendo Tone said softly as Ryan smiles softly as the group continued to walk for now as they noticed a nearby mother trying to cheer up her crying child. The Crescendo Tone caused some nearby rustling branches to have a unique sound to get the child laughing.
Nearby, two friends were arguing while playing catch but when the ball was caught a ding dong sound like a doorbell was heard each time, soon getting the pair laughing at how weird it was.
"The power of sounds is amazing," Kanade complimented.
"Sorry girls. You've been cheering me on as best you can, but I've been feeling down. I'll do my best on the next test!" Hibiki cheered as Ryan nodded. Suddenly, a Note appeared on Hibiki's test paper.
"Ah! A Note!" Hummy said at the same time as the Trio Minor, who hadjust appeared.
"What the?! How'd they get that close?!" Ryan said in surprise as he didn't see how those three could be so sneaky.
"We shall be taking that Healing Chest today!"
"Let's go! Negatone!" Bassdrum yelled, corrupting the Note on Hibiki's test paper as it flew out of her hands and morphed into a Test Negatone.
"The Healing Chest brings smiles to everyone!" Hibiki said as the girls got their Cure Modules at the ready while Ryan attached the OOO Driver to his waist.
"Hey!" is heard as a motor is heard as Itsuko arrived on his motorbike, his Birth Driver already attached.
"Your not leaving me out of this!" Itsuko said as Hibiki nodded as the other three nodded as well.
"You are not getting the Healing Chest!" They said together as Dory, Rery and Lary flew into the Cure Modules while Ryan slotted in his three Medals into his OOO Driver and Itsuko clutched one Cell Medal.
"Let's Play! Precure Modulation!" The trio announced as they were covered in an array of Pink, White and Light Blue lights. As the trio soon completed with their transformation, they smiled.
"Henshin!" Ryan and Itsuko called out together.
*CRANK*

TAKA!
TORA!
BATTA!
TA-TO-BA! TATOBA! TA-TO-BA!
"Strumming the Wild Rhythm, Cure Melody!" Melody called out as she posed.
"Strumming the Graceful Melody, Cure Rhythm!" Rhythm called out as she smiled and posed.
"Strumming the Beat's Soul, Cure Beat!" Beat called out in her own pose as she smiled.
"Resonate! Our Musical Suite, Suite Pretty Cure!" The Trio called out as they were ready to fight!
"Count up the Medals! 1, 2 and 3! Kamen Rider OOO!" OOO called out as he moved into his fighting stance.
"Unlimited Medals! Kamen Rider Birth!" Birth called out as he moved into his fighting stance...
Only for the 5 heroes to be in front of some kind of game show-like booths.
"Uh...what the heck?" Birth said in surprise as OOO looked around and groaned.
"We're suppose to fight...not do a game show..." OOO muttered.
"Now! Time for Negatone Test!" The...Negatone spoke?!
"Eh! It talked normally?!" Beat said in surprise.
"T-test?!" Melody groaned in worry as Rhythm chuckled faintly.
"It's like a quiz show," Rhythm said as OOO groaned faintly, slumped on his booth.
"Oh, this is gonna suck..." OOO muttered as Birth chuckled.
"Heh. If this means we can stop a Negatone without needing to throw any punches, I'm game," Birth joked.
"First question for Cure Rhythm! 'Shiro' in English is?" The Negatone asked as Rhythm tapped the button on her booth.
"White!" Rhythm answered, getting a ding of correct as the 0 on her booth turned into 1.
"Correct! Next question for Cure Beat! 'Ao' in English is?" The Negatone asked as Beat tapped the button on her booth.
"Blue!" Beat answered as she also got a ding of correct, as her own 0 became a 1.
"What the heck is it doing?" Baritone muttered as the Trio Minor were watching.
"Correct! Next question is for Kamen Rider OOO! Name three animals that sound the same in English and Japanese!" The Negatone asked as OOO smirked and removed his three Medals.
"I'll answer with this demonstration," OOO said, slotting in three new Medals and re-scanning his belt.
LION!
GORILLA!
CONDOR!
OOO soon changed into the LaGorDor Combo as he also got a ding for being correct.
"Correct! Those three animals do sound the same in English and Japanese!" The Negatone said. OOO decided to stay in his new Combo for now.
"Next question for Kamen Rider Birth! What is the fastest land mammal!" The Negatone said.
"Cheetah!" Birth answered as he got a correct as well.
"Next up for Melody! 'Pink' in Japanese is?" He asked as Melody pressed the button.
"Pink! Wait, Japanese?" Melody said as she got it wrong.
"Wrong! You need to study more!" The Negatone said before launching a red X shaped energy blast at Melody who was hit and groaned on the floor.
"Oh that had to smart..." OOO said as Melody got back to her position.
"Oh? There is a rule like that?" Falsetto said
"What an annoying one..." Bassdrum muttered.
"That is your Negatone after all," Baritone pointed out.
"Rhythm! Same question!" The Negatone said.
"Momoiro!" Rhythm called out as she answered for another correct answer.
"Cure Bea..." The Negatone began when Bassdrum interrupted.
"Hey! Give Melody another question!" Bassdrum ordered as the Negatone saluted.
"Do you know how to count in English?" The Negatone asked.
"Uh...I don't know!" Melody yelled out and got another X smashed into her.
"What's 1000? 10,000? 100,000,000?" The Negatone asked three times.
"I don't know! I don't know! I don't know!" Melody yelled out as she got 3 X's in a row.
"Melody!" Hummy called out as she rushed over to the slowly getting up Precure.
"Hahahah! What an idiot!" Bassdrum laughed as Melody clenched a fist.
"I really don't know! But I'll study hard for next time! For the sake of everyone who cheered me on. I won't let them down! I'll try my best for everyone who supported me!" Melody declared. "That is my answer!" Melody finished as Bassdrum glared.
"What kind of answer is that?!" Bassdrum said as they heard a voice.
"It is," Crescendo Tone's voice is heard as the Healing Chest suddenly began to glow a powerful golden color. "Everyone has things they don't know. But that's why we work hard. That's the important thing. Cure Melody, your answer is correct in my heart," Crescendo Tone said as Melody smiled brightly. "Now it's time I lend you my power! Wave your hand across the keyboard," The Fairy Tone directed as Melody curiously did as she was told.
Once Melody waved her hand across the keyboard, the Crescendo Tone came flying out of the Healing Chest and looking quite large in size.
"Woah!" Birth exclaimed in shock as did the others (minus Ryan, who was still slightly shocked to see it for real).
Melody soon floated on some appearing multi-colored piano keys as Melody fused with the Cresendo Tone as it flew towards the Negatone. "W-what amazing power..." Melody grunted before she was actually sent flying back and landed as the Crescendo Tone missed and vanished back into the Healing Chest.
"I don't know what happened, ,ut now is our chance!" Bassdrum declared.
"Hold it right there!" Rhythm said as she and Beat stood in the way as did OOO and Birth.
"If you want the Healing Chest, then you have to answer our questions," Rhythm said to the annoyance of the Trio Minor. "Hey! It's rude if we don't get to ask questions too!" Rhythm declared.
"Alright! We'll answer your questions!" Bassdrum said as the Trio Minor were ready.
"Melody let's do this," Rhythm said as OOO nods as he and Birth step back.
"Alright! Time for the Precure Quiz! First Question is..." Rhythm began as Melody finished up.
"What are the names of the attacks coming right now!" Melody asked as she and Rhythm summoned their Belltiers while Beat summoned her Guitair Rod.
"Miracle Belltier!" Bassdrum answered.
"Fantastic Belltier!" Baritone answered.
"Love Guitar Rod!" Falsetto answered.
"Now it's time for...the answer!" Rhythm said.
"Come out, Tone Ring!" The Trio said summoning the tone rings..
"Precure, Music Rondo!" Melody and Rhythm declared as they threw their Tone Rings.
"Precure, Heartful Beat Rock!" Beat announced as she launched her ring at the Negatone.
"EH?! That's not fair!" The Trio Minor said as they got out of the way and the Negatone was hit.
"3/4 Beat! 1, 2, 3! Finale!" The Trio declared together as they purified the Negatone! Melody quickly snatched her test paper as Hummy returned the Note to the Fairy Tones for safety.
"Too bad. You answered the names of our weapons, not the actual attack names," Rhythm said as she grinned and OOO laughed.
"Hah! Nice one, girls!" OOO said as he and Birth walked over.
"It's not over yet!" Bassdrum yelled as he, Baritone and Falsetto...brought out three Cell Medals?!
"Uh oh... that's not good..." OOO said, still in his Random Combo right now, as the Trio raised the Cell Medal each had in their hand and raised it to their own foreheads. The tell tale slot appeared as they slotted the Medals inside. Two Green Portals formed on the backs of Baritone and Falsetto and created a Kabuto and Kuwagata Beetle Yummies...while Bassdrum's portal was grey and formed a powerful Gorilla Yummy. The three Yummies growled at the Precure and Kamen Riders.
"Now Yummies! Take the Healing Chest!" Bassdrum yelled as all three Yummies glowed a dark red colour.
"Okay, those look way stronger..." OOO said as the two Insect Yummies lunged forward. Melody, Rhythm and Beat blocked one with a triple punch while Birth quickly got in the other Beetle Yummy's way.
*CRANK*
*CRANK*
*POP*
-CATERPILLAR LEGS!-
Birth's new legs dug into the ground and pushed back against the Yummy.
OOO quickly swung a punch that collided with the Gorilla Yummy's fist, the force sending OOO skidding back. He turned to Hummy.
"Hummy! Get the Healing Chest somewhere safe!" OOO said as Hummy nods as OOO quickly took out the Gorilla and Condor Medals and slotted in two familiar yellow Medals.
LION!
TORA!
CHEETAH!
LA-TA LA-TA~! LA-TORA~TAH!
OOO, now in his Scorching Combo, sent a bright flash of heat towards the Yummy...which was glowing a dark red color. Despite its body giving off smoke it continued onward and swung a fist that sent OOO rolling backwards.
"No way...it took that blast of heat?!" OOO said in shock as he got back up and barely avoided the fists of the Yummy, before it beat its chest and sent a wave of gravity that sent OOO flying back, rolling across the ground as he groaned.
"HAHAHAH! That's it, Yummies! Take them down!" Bassdrum laughed.
A sudden scream of surprise got OOO's attention as the three Precure were sent crashing in front of him as Birth suddenly got a blast of green lighting to the chest and groaned in front of the group.
"Well things are going bad..." Birth joked as OOO glared at the three approaching Yummies.
"Stay back..." OOO said to them as he approached and slid the Lion, Tora and Cheetah medals out of the OOO Driver and sighed faintly.
"Time to use them again!" OOO declared before three purple lights flew into his right hand showing the Ptera, Torikera and Tyranno Medals as he slotted them in and scanned his belt.
PTERA!
TORIKERA!
TYRANNO!
PU-TO-TYRA~NNO-SAURUS!
OOO crossed his arms as the three purple medals formed into his new form. He roared out, sending a wave of ice that crashed into the Yummies, sending them stumbling backwards.
"Go, OOO!" Melody cheered. However, they didn't notice...that OOO's normal Green Eye Pieces was glowing Purple.
"...Grr..." A faint growl was heard as OOO approached the Yummies slowly. The two Beetle Yummies swung a punch each...but OOO scarily caught each punch with one hand each. Growling at the pair, he summoned his Tail Divider and slammed a tail against the two Yummies, sending them crashing to the ground. The Gorilla Yummy charged and reared back a fist as OOO summoned his Ptera Wings and flew upwards easily and smirked, planting one of his Tyranno boots into the Yummy's back, sending it crashing to the ground with OOO on top of it as a crater formed.
OOO growled and gripped the OOO Scanner and scanned his belt as he looked at the Kuwagata Yummy.
SCANNING CHARGE!
OOO's Torikera Horns on his shoulders launched out and stabbed into the Yummy, holding it in place as the Ptera Wings let loose a freezing wind that froze the Yummy solid.
"Blasting...Freezer!" OOO roared out as he swung his tail and destroyed the Kuwagata Yummy easily, to the shock of the others as one of the Cell Medals flew towards OOO who caught it, hopping off the Gorilla Yummy. OOO punched into the ground and summoned the Medagabryu.
OOO calmly slotted in that Cell Medal and pulled the mouth down as it chomped on the Cell Medal.
GOKKUN!
OOO smirked and calmly gripped the Axe as he pulled the axe head back.
PU-TO-TYRA~NNO HIS~SATSU!
OOO charged at the Kabuto Yummy and roared.
"Ground of Rage!" OOO yelled as he swung the axe. An energy slash of purple color cut clean through the Kabuto Yummy and destroyed it, leaving the just getting up Gorilla Yummy.
OOO again caught one of the Cell Medals that the Kabuto Yummy left and slotted it back into the Axe.
GOKKUN!
This time, OOO switched to Bazooka mode and aimed it right at the Yummy.
PU-TO-TYRA~NNO HIS~SATSU!
"Strain Doom!" OOO roared out as he fired the huge beam of energy, which smashed into the Yummy and destroyed it; the last one.
"I-Impossible...all three by himself?!" Bassdrum muttered in shock as OOO breathed heavily. He then turned to the Precure and Birth...who finally noticed that his eye pieces were purple.
"OOO? Are you alright?" Beat asked. OOO glanced at Kamen Rider Birth who was just getting up, and growled as he switched his weapon to Axe Mode and approached before he roared and lunged forward and slashed his axe against Birth's chest, causing sparks to fly.
"OOO? What're you doing!?" Melody yelled out as Hummy could only look on with wide eyes.
Bassdrum raised an eyebrow at this as OOO swung his axe many times as Birth dodged each one barely before one nasty one got a direct hit as Birth was slumped against some stairs and groaned as OOO summoned his Ptera Wings and Tail Divider and roared in rage.
"We gotta stop him! Before he does something he'll regret!" Melody said as the trio of Precure rushed towards OOO who growled in rage...
