It was a warm,sunny afternoon. Sensaina and Jonetsu were spending it in a dainty boutique because Sensaina's sisters dragged them over. Though the boutique was small it was packed with exquisite,colorful shirts, all with a name-brand. Jonetsu seemed pretty amazed by the beautiful fashions this store held, but Sensaina had seen more than enough of it.
"So,if your sisters can afford the clothes here, would that make you rich?" Jonetsu questioned. Sensaina never really had thought of her family as 'rich'. But considering all the money her sisters got from just wearing a few cheaply crafted garments, to the regular person she would seem rich.
"I don't really think of it like that,"Sensaina said sheepishly,"You've seen my house, I don't even seem rich." Jonetsu laughed loudly.
"That's true! You have too much hospitality to be rich!" Jonetsu jeered.
"W-who ever said hospitality was a bad thing?" Sensaina reddened.
"You girls keep it down!" The old sales clerk,Setsuko snapped,"You'll scare away that customer!" She pointed to a girl who seemed to be in her teen years. She had dark brown hair kept neatly into a ponytail. Her vacant dark blue eyes were staring at the rack of clothes idly being pulled and pushed by her hands.
"Wow," Sensaina said,remarking the girl's subtle beauty and humble appearance.
"Compared to her we look like freaks!" Jonetsu cackled.
"Jonetsu!" Sensaina yelled,karate chopping Jonetsu to the floor. While Sensaina was yelling at Jonetsu, Doki and Toki saw something that caught their eyes. They hopped towards it, unnoticed by Sensaina and Jonetsu. Out of boredom, Sensaina went over to a rack nearby the girl's. It seemed the brunette was talking to someone. Maybe by a headset. Sensaina picked out a cute turquoise top with green stripes. She walked towards the sales clerk.
"Do you have this in a medium?" Sensaina asked . Before the clerk could say anything, Jonetsu came before Sensaina and lead her back to the rack where she found the shirt.
"They always have all the sizes right on the rack. You just have to look a little harder!"Jonetsu exclaimed throwing shirts off the rack,looking for the medium Sensaina asked for.
"J-Jonetsu don't make a mess of the store!" Sensaina nagged.
"That's it! You three! Out of my shop!" The clerk yelled, holding a meter-stick as if she was intending to hit them with it if they didn't leave.
"Oh no! It's the dreaded meter-stick!" Jonetsu yelled,taking Sensaina's hand while the brunette linked on to Jonetsu's arm. While Jonetsu and the girl were desperately trying to catch their breath. Sensaina flipped open her phone pushing the buttons hastily.
"Um,Miyako? We got kicked out of the store so I'll.. see you at dinner?" Sensaina said. A groaning sound was heard and Sensaina hung up.
"Yeah,um we're sorry we got you kicked out of the store," Jonetsu said bashfully,"I'm Jonetsu."
"I'm Sensaina. Nice to meet you!"
"I'm Kokori Mitsoyu,","The girl replied shyly. Something about her seemed peculiar. Perhaps it was her seeming to be lonely.
"Are you new in town?" Jonetsu asked.
"I'm just visiting," She said gently,looking away from them.
"Well Kokori. It seems you haven't seen much of the town,"Sensaina pointed out. The girl reddening slightly,but on her blushing seemed to make her prettier.
"Let's take her around town!" Jonetsu declared,taking both of the girls by their hands again.
"The bakery!" Jonetsu yelled, as they were in the bakery. Kokori marveled at the tiny elaborate cupcakes. The baker offered them samples and they all took one.
"The beach!" Sensaina exclaimed when they arrived at the beach. Kokori was making friends with a hermit crab while Jonetsu was getting bit by one.
"The park!" The two of them cheered. Kokori sat on the swings smiling to her herself. It looked like she was enjoying the time she spent with the girls. Finally they all went home to Sensaina's house. They all seemed tired and they all collapsed to Sensaina bed in relief.
"Now that was fun," Jonetsu exclaimed lifting herself up from her comfortable spot on Sensaina's bed,"Do you have any gum in your purse Kokori?"
"Yeah I should,"Kokori said. Jonetsu rummaged through Kokori's bag for the pack of gum she claimed having. But before she found the gum she was craving, she found quite the mysterious item in Kokori's bag. It was a brooch with a grey base and two white outer rings that had a pair of wing engraved on the front. Jonetsu knew it only meant one thing. There was a third Pretty Cure in this room. Even though the brooch seemed nothing like the dreamkeepers, it was too gorgeous to be a simple trinket.
""Sensaina,can you help me pull out this stick of gum?" Jonetsu improvised.
"Um, sure," Sensaina replied blankly. She walked over to Jonetsu who made it look like the crisis of being unable to pull out a stick of gum was urgent. Jonetsu showed Sensaina the brooch. Her eyes opened widely with alarm.
"Pretty Cure?" She mouthed. Jonetsu shrugged. Sensaina expression shifted with more alarm.
"Hey, Sensaina. Would you mind if I looked through your clothes in your wardrobe? I'm wanting to own a clothes store when I'm older and I really need to find what clothes I'd want to sell." Kokori asked.
"Oh, sure." Sensaina replied with a smile. Kokori looked at Sensaina's variety of beautiful garments, most of them being hand me downs from her sisters. When she neared the end of her wardrobe, she dropped Sensaina's dresses on the ground. Sensaina took Jonetsu by the arm.
"Goodness, where's my mother with that dinner?" Sensaina improvised. They were outside of Sensaina's room.
"Come to think of it,where's Toki and Doki?"Sensaina asked.
"We couldn't have just lost them," Jonetsu stated. They opened the door just a crack letting themselves see a tiny bit of the room without being noticed by Kokori.
"Let's check the boutique," Sensaina suggested. It wasn't to from the house so they would get fast enough without striking Kokori's suspicion.
Meanwhile near the beach's shore, Hydra hovered in midair carelessly.
"Ah,it seems like these ungrateful humans don't clutter around the good landmarks of their world, like the beach,"Hydra exhaled,"But little do they know Hatred will rule this soon enough! I guess I'm going to have to take a dreamstone to attention from Hatred." She drifted to the boutique the three girls had been into earlier.
"Oh clothes. It seems everyone can love you," She said while noticing the clerk had an unsure dreamstone. She took it from her,leaving the clerk defenseless with the cage-like dark energy around her.
"Hm, now what I should I make this Malvoid out of?" She asked looking at her surroundings.
"My,my. You seem to be quite the naive amateur," A woman said, floating higher than Hydra. She was a pale woman who was about the same height as Hydra. She owned very straight maroon toned hair with pure black eyes and dressed in all black. She seemed like a vampire.
"Hey, um Countess Dracula. How about you go back to terrorizing the Middle Ages and I'll work my turf right here," Hydra said floating up to the woman. The woman squinted her eyes scornfully.
"Such a light-hearted ditz shouldn't even be working for evil. You would be a disgrace in the eyes of the Dark Prince," The woman hissed.
"Yeah,um I belong to Malevolent and if I'm such a ditz," Hydra started. She snapped her fingers,enclosing the woman in a bubble filled with water,"How come you're drowning?" The woman ripped her way out of the bubble with rage now filling her eyes.
"My name is Etsuko! Consider me your worst nightmare," She hissed in Hydra's face with a sickening,twisted grin.
"I was told not to give my name out to strangers,especially the freaky strangers,and I really hope that's not your 'monster' over there,"Hydra said pointing to what seemed to a doppelganger of Kokori. The doppelganger had been there the entire time. Hydra held up the corrupted dreamstone,pointing to the boutique's window mannequin,"Escape,Malvoid!" Normally, the Malvoids were reserved for the Pretty Cure only. But this time it seemed this one was intended for Etsuko.
"Fine then. Go,Toruura!" Etsuko called out. The two monsters began to fight.
"I don't care how 'menacing' he sounds,"Hydra bunnyquoted,"Your Dark Prince is nothing compared to my Hatred!" As she said that her Malvoid toppled onto the Toruura and repeatedly stomped on it.
Sensaina and Jonetsu had rushed to the boutique in good timing. But they noticed something was missing.
"Where's the mannequin?"Jonetsu asked.
"Jonetsu,come in here!"Sensaina yelped. The boutique was alright but the clerk was on the ground trapped by a cage of dark energy. They looked up seeing Hydra had aquaintenced a woman with quite the provoking appearance.
"Sensaina! We have to transform!" Jonetsu shouted. Sensaina nodded.
"Pretty Cure, Dream on!" They said in unison. They indulged into their transformations turning into their Cure egos.
"Singing the everlasting melody,Cure Songstress"Cure Songstress introduced.
"Joining two hearts together,Cure Matchmaker!"Cure Matchmaker introduced.
"Guardians of dreams,side by side. Together we are,"They struck a pose,"Dream High Pretty Cure!"
"Oh great, Pretty Cure? Of all times?" Hydra questioned.
"Pretty Cure? Where?" Etsuko turned looking around,"Those are Pretty Cure?" It seemed this wasn't what she was expecting."Where's Cure Storm?"
"Cure Who?"Hydra asked.
"Songstress!" Matchmaker yelled pointing below them. Near the store was Kokori with Toki, Doki,and an unrecognizable fairy.
"Good observation," Etsuko croaked diving to Kokori. Kokori was in trouble. It seemed Etsuko was trying to take the brooch from Kokori.
"We have to help her!" Songstress exclaimed.
"Oh, you two aren't going anywhere. Malvoid, sick 'em!" Hydra commanded. The two were now caught in a fight with the Malvoid ,unable to aid Kokori. Kokori refused to give the brooch to Etsuko and lifted her hand with the brooch in the air.
"Sky Metamorphosis!" She yelled flying up to the sky. She had transformed into someone you wouldn't recognize as Kokori. She had white,silky hair with tiara crowned on her forehead, a very decorated and detailed grey and white dress,and gloves and boots. Small wings appeared on her back shortly.
She retained nothing but her voice from her civilian appearance. Not even her eye color which was toned down into a light grey shade.
Her cure self leapt down from the sky and landed gracefully. She threw two punches forward and performed a somersault kick to the air then threw her arms aside, throwing herself into a battle stance.
"Let the clouds drift you away, listen to the birds sing their beautiful tune."
Kokori looked up and smirked.
"Guardian of the sky, Cure Storm!"
Cure Storm twirled and went into her battle stance once more.
"She's.."Matchmaker started.
"A Pretty Cure?" Songstress finished. They decided to finish their battle quickly to be of help to their fellow cure.
"Musical Clash!" Songstress yelled,aiming at the Malvoid. She entangled the Malvoid with music notes attached to bars.
"Lovesick Barrage!" Matchmaker yelled,aiming at Hydra. Hydra shrieked and gave herself refuge by conjuring up a bubble shield.
"That should keep the two of them on hold for awhile,"Matchmaker said.
"Yeah, but you didn't have to shoot at Hydra," Songstress said. They darted down to Cure Storm who seemed to be doing badly at the moment.
She was getting beaten badly by Etsuko. It seemed unusual for them as it was usually the Malvoid or something committing the abuse.
"Pretty Cure, Cloud Rush!" Cure Storm yelled. It was hard to tell what she was aiming for but whatever she was trying to hit she missed and ended up purifying the Malvoid. A cloned dreamstone dropped itself onto Songstress' cupped hands.
"Her attacks work on Malvoids?"Songstress asked,gawking at the dreamstone.
"Well,if that's the case,"Matchmaker started
"Pretty Cure, Star-Spangled Wish!" The two Cures said in unison aiming a violet and red glimmering star at the Toruura. Etsuko noticed their attempt to attack her Toruura. She created a sphere of black energy coming towards the star. The Cures manipulated the star to go to the Toruura faster. It made it in time, finishing off the Toruura.
"Awake!" They both yelled.
"Tch. Conceited girls," Etsuko said,"No matter, I can still destroy Cure Storm right here." Etsuko created an ominous,opaque barrier around herself and Cure Storm, "You like it? I call it Lunatic Sector."
"This place..it's making it too hard to even move," Cure Storm gasped.
"We can't get through," Songstress moaned as Matchmaker was using her Lovesick Barrage over and over again. Suddenly they saw a girl coming to the barrier. She looked like Kokori but her hair was a dark,coveting blue and she had serious dark grey eyes. It seemed everything about her was quite darkly.
"Ah, Sayuri. What great timing. Care to defeat Cure Storm while I take these two girls out?" Etsuko laughed.
"Lunatic Sector!"She walked into the barrier at ease.
"Sa-Sayuri.. It's you.."Cure Storm said. It was like she was in a trance like she knew this girl since the day she was born. It was as if she was the darkness of herself that brought back her light. Sayuri left a large crack in the sector,letting it be completely shattered, bringing in the light.
"But how can she?" Etsuko spat.
"Because.."Cure Storm said,still in her trance.
"My Apologies Miss Etsuko. I no longer care about you since you hurt my comrade,"Sayuri said with a slight grin.
"Ready? Sky Metamorphosis!" Sayuri called out.
Her outfit was instantly changed to something similar to Cure Storm's,which wasn't surprising for her being Kokori's clone,except it was dark blue and purple. Her hair was still the same colour and a pair of black wings, no bigger than her back appeared.
"Stare at the moon in wonder, hear the creatures of the night cry."
Sayuri looked up and threw herself into a battle stance.
"Champion of moonlight, Cure Luna!"
"A-another Cure too?" Matchmaker said. Cure Luna looked at Etsuko spitefully. If looks could kill,Etsuko would be dead by now.
"Cure Storm, Cure Songstress, Cure Matchmaker!" Cure Luna cried out,"Help me destroy who used to be my superior." They went near each other,extending out their hands.
"Your darkly crying spirit.." Songstress and Matchmaker started
"...Shall be pacified with our love!"Storm and Luna finished.
"Pretty Cure,Moonstruck Dream!" The four cures yelled. They created a large white sphere with two red and purple rings intersecting around it.
The sphere hit Etsuko far away,but it didn't seem to purify her. The three fairies hopped along to the cures.
"Doki! Toki!" Songstress exclaimed. The two fairies went into her arms,leaving Matchmaker left out.
"They never hug me,"Matchmaker said quietly.
"Lucky,"Storm said softly as he jumped into he arms,"Did we get rid of her for good?" He shook his head sadly.
"No~chi. You just sent her back to the Dark Temple~chi" He said disappointedly.
"That's alright for now," Storm reassured. Glittering dust was filling the air. They all looked to where it came from. It was coming from Cure Luna.
"Where are you going?" Cure Matchmaker asked.
"I have to go back. Otherwise I'll strike suspicions," She said softly.
"But I thought you just defected from being a bad guy!" Songstress said. Storm didn't seem to mind her leaving as if her clone's actions were understandable. Cure Luna smiled sweetly before disappearing completely. Storm shrugged it off and they all detransformed.
"But wait! Does that mean...Kokori's the third Pretty Cure?"Sensaina asked Doki.
"Not exactly-kore,"Doki said.
"I'm Cure Storm, the guardian of the skies. I was chosen to protect Sky Paradise and the Rainbow Princess from the Dark Prince. You see, the Dark Prince is trying to force the Rainbow Princess to marry him so he can gain full control."
Lucky transformed back into a human and stood their like he was proud. "Yes, me and Bonbon come from Sky Paradise." He said.
Suddenly a little pink, long-eared creature popped out of Kokori's pocket and landed on her head. "I, Bonbon~bon!" The creature cried with a toddler's voice.
Then out of nowhere a purple slate dropped onto the floor in front of the girls. Kokori looked down and quickly picked it up.
"What's this?" She muttered.
Lucky dived back in shock. "That's one of the gemslates! Sayuri must've dropped it for us on the way back to the Dark Temple!" He cried.
"So Sayuri has them all?" Kokori asked.
"Yes, she only drop when evil defeated like Hisashi~bon." Bonbon said.
Kokori looked up at the two girls and smiled. "You're probably wondering why I have a clone."
"Well basically, we encountered Hisashi. Hisashi managed to grab both Bonbon and Lucky away from me but he didn't leave while he had the chance. Instead he got Toruura to try and fill my body with darkness and kill me. He did succeed into filling my body with darkness but I eventually fought it off after a mysterious voice put courage into me. But strangely, I transformed without using the brooch since Bonbon was taken and only she can transform into the brooch."
"She isn't fighting for what we are fighting for-desu. Her mission is different from ours-desu," Toki explained.
"Aww! But she's so cool!" Jonetsu whined. Kokori blushed.
"We were chosen to become Pretty Cure because of how powerful our beliefs in our dreams are. Doki and Toki here were sent from the Heart of Dreams to find the one who stole the Wishing Coffret which creates the dreamstones. And if the Wishing Coffret is destroyed then dreams will be gone forever and so will the Heart of Dreams. We don't know much about Malevolent and we've met four of the Majors from Malevolent but lately they've been babbling about someone called Hatred." Sensaina explained.
Sensaina looked at Kokori's dreamstone by making a heart with her thumbs and index fingers. Sensaina seemed to be impressed. Jonetsu did the same.
"Wha-What are you doing?"Kokori reddened.
"Checking out your dreamstone,"Jonetsu said thoughtlessly.
"What does it look like?"Kokori asked. She kinda knew what dreamstones were. They were those stones that helped Sensaina and Jonetsu used to transform. And apparently a corrupted one could be used to make a Malvoid.
"It's really pretty,"Sensaina remarked,"It's white and grey and has it has angel wings in the center!"
"Re-really?"Kokori turned away.
"So does that mean she wants to be an angel?"Jonetsu asked. They all laughed. A few later was Kokori's last day in Kiirohikari.
"Bye, fellow Pretty Cures,"Kokori lowered her voice to a whisper as she was ready to board her train back to Ryunem.
"Bye Kokori!" Sensaina said.
"Come visit soon,"Jonetsu cried out. The train left with Kokori aboard on it.
"I think I'll miss her," Sensaina said.
"I know I'm going to miss her!" Jonetsu laughed. It was remarkable how there were other Pretty Cure out there sent to protect different things. But it was also great they got to meet Kokori too!
