Oh geez. It's been a while now, huh?

Brainy: Do we have to tie you up again?

Nonono! It's not even my fault, little green dude!

Superman: Oh really?

YES! If you'd just let me tell you, I can warn you that there's-

?+?: HELLO!

Oh frog mammit...

?+?: Two new witches, with power and grace, have come to aid the heroes of justice! Our fantastic power! BEHOLD IT!

...I want to die now...

CHAPTAH!

STARTO!


"Are you sure this is the direction Nivan told us to go in?" Cham asked as the group stood atop a hill, the wind calm. Reki stared down at the enormous crater that held a tiny sparkling lake, surrounded by a dense forest. Just beyond it was the shrine mentioned, a dragon lovingly crafted and detailed perched upon a mound.

"Well, this is the lake, and Nivan said it would be plenty obvious when we saw it." Reki said, kicking a rock into the hole. Measuring the size and depth, Reki doubted even Colossal Boy could see over the edge, even at his tallest. She then saw what appeared to be a glow of power. "Uh, Brainy? What le fuck is that?"

The Coluan looked at her, then to the direction she was pointing in, and saw what she saw: A huge fireball, seemingly frozen in place just over the lake, before it exploded before their eyes. Two streaks of light seemed to discharge from the explosion, and headed towards them. One crashed right into Colassal Boy, who fell over, and the second landed almost carefully in front of Reki.

"Well now, aren't you a sight for sore eyes? Which you used to have, if I remember correctly." A voice asked from the gloom of the smoke. Reki backed up and fled behind Brainy, who held his arms up defensively. Reki peered out from near his shoulder.

"Who the firetruck are you? And what do you mean by that?" The dust was blown away, and the figure was revealed to be a young girl like Reki, adorned with black, blue, and purple. The thing that hit CB flew up and landed unsteadily next to her. It was also a girl, with a bright mixture of green, yellow, and blue.

"Heeheehee, I was supposed to dodge that truck, right?" The bright one laughed with the air of being drunk. The darker girl face-palmed. "Dammit Jo-Jo, we're suppposed to have a grand entrance, why would you screw it up?"

"Sorry Jay." Reki felt a shock pass through her, and she stepped out from Brainy's shield and approached.

"How did you know I used to wear glasses? And, who are you two?"

The darker one laughed. "How can you not remember the glorious princess of demons?" She pulled off her hat. Purple eyes stared hard at Reki.

The bright one also laughed, that weird drunken pitch giving Reki the impression of insanity. "Yeah, after all we did drive you crazy. Or maybe you drove us crazy. Or maybe..." She seemed to pause for dramatic effect. "We drove each other crazy at the same time. Oh well, in that case, thank you!" She bowed with a flourish and a sweep of her hat.

Reki just stood there, unable to believe her eyes. "It...can't be. How are you here? You two..." She took off running and crashed into both of them in a tackle hug. "Jasle! Jo-Jo!" They landed in a pile. "My best friends..."

Brainy watched with a stunned expression as they separated. Reki wiped away tears as she began to introduce the two strangers.

"Everyone, these two are my best friends ever. I think they can make their own intros." The black-haired girl stepped forward and struck a pose. "Announcing! The midnight witchling of frosty chaos! Jasle!" The green girl stepped forward and bowed with a flirty wink. "Announcing! The ever-hyper witchling of springtime chaos! Jo-Jo!"

Reki joined their pose. "Announcing! The amazing witchling of fiery chaos! Reki!" The three shifted until they were standing in a pose akin to the Power Rangers. "Behold! Pretty Cure Witchlings!"

Superman grinned as he walked over to them. "Reki, this is great! You have your old friends back!" The brunette smiled and clasped their hands together, smiling at the two by her sides.

"Yeah..." The warm feeling around the group was dispersed as Reki then proceeded to throw both girls over her shoulder into Superman, who winced in surprise. "So, enlighten me, you two she-devils, why the firetruck are you here?" She was glowing brightly with flames the same color-scheme as her dress.

Jasle laughed. "Well, we figured that, while we're in the neighborhood, we'd visit you."

Reki gave her a look. "You got stuck here and don' know how to get back, do you?" Jasle grinned and nodded.

"Pretty much!"

The fire-witch sighed and face-palmed. "Once again, I'm going to get caught up in your drama?" The other two girls encased her in a hug.

"You love our drama. It used to entertain you, remember?" Jasle poked her in the cheek. Reki smirked.

"Oh yes, I quite loved the smell of fire extinguishing foam as I got rid of your fiery solutions." Jasle jumped away, wearing a look that was half affronted, half smiling.

"ONE TIME! One time I burn down a building-"

"It was twice, actually." Reki corrected, Jo-Jo bursting into laughter.

Jasle's eye twitched. "-And you never let me live it down?"

Jo-Jo spoke up. "Not when you remember that you set it on fire because you tripped over a broken wheelchair." Lightning Lad coughed "IRONY" into his fist, earning a rib-poke from Saturn Girl.

Brainy finally cut in on the girls laughter when his scanner began to sound an alarm. "We aren't alone." The ground began to rumble, and the Legionnaire's and witchlings took to the air. "Something massive is heading towards the surface. It appears to be- OH! Um, hello?" Superman looked over to see Jo-Jo peering closely at Brainy. The alien looked startled. "Can I help you?"

Jo-Jo stared for a long moment, before grinning. "You're a green space midget." Reki snorted so hard she lost her balance, and landed on her back laughing. Brainy turned dark green, and Jasle used her wand to whack Jo-Jo over the head.

"Stop talking, please."

Jo-Jo cried out and brandished her own wand, and Reki watched as a huge vine sprouted from the ground and attempted to wrap around Jasle. Several black energy bursts cut through the vegetation, and the two commenced a chase across the sky. It ended when the thing burst out of the ground; a giant wolf-like creature, that screamed anger into the sky and knocked everyone to the ground. Brainy got up first, his eyes trained on the creature; he disliked being pushed, even moreso when it was by a thing of lower intelligence.

"M-Ma-" Bouncing Boy was stuttering out of fear as the beast pinned them with a hungry stare. "MALIBA!" Superman flew up and drew an upper-cut that sent the beast reeling backwards.

"WHAT THE FUCK?-!" Jasle screamed, flying backwards. She glared and landed in front of Saturn Girl, who was helping Lightning Lad. "By the pale moon whose light I am blessed by, I reject your presence!" She brought her open palms together and her cape burst into a thousand bats made of black energy. "BATTY BATTALION!"

The bats swarmed in a circle around Maliba, making it roar in frustration. The Legion was swept back by a blast of red-tinted wind.

"Don't breath in!" Brainy shouted, Reki and the other girls magicking up gas masks for everyone. "That dust is the same stuff that rotted everything in the village!" He transformed his arm and began firing off at the tornado. A few blasts hit, and Maliba screamed its pain. "Fire at it, do not let it get near the village!"

With that, energy blasts, fireballs, and all manner of attacks went sailing at the beast. "Fire Fans!" Reki yelled as Bammy separated into two disc shapes and she launched them at Maliba. "Darkness Crackle!" Jasle screeched as black lightning burst from her hands, electricuting the beast. "Thorny Missiles!" Jo-Jo yelled as vines from the bottom of her hat, the thorns exploding from the vine's surface and embedding into Maliba's fur, exploding furiously.

The beast screamed as it went down, but not bofore it launched its paw out and swatted at a figure the Legion had missed completely- Nivan.

"No!" Reki screamed, Jo-Jo forming a lasso from her staff and rodeo-d the alien out of the way. He held tight to the witchling. "Nivan, what in the under belly of Satan's cow are you doing here?" Jasle gave her a weirded out look, before smiling and turning to the alien boy.

"I-I followed, to make s-sure you f-found it." He stuttered. Jo-Jo patted his head, and flew closer to the Legion. "AH!" He pointed to the ground, where a dustcloud marked Maliba making its escape. A huge hole, like a crater, was all that was left.

The Legion and witchlings landed beside it. Jasle turned to Reki. "We going down there after it?" She nodded. Jasle nodded back. "Great. All stops pulled out?" Reki nodded again. Jasle did the same. "Thought so. We gonna nuke it?" Reki smirked. "Oh yeah..."
