"It's so beautiful out!" Haruko exclaimed. The sun was beating down like a diamond on her, the rest of the cures, and the fairies. It was official. This weekend marked the beginning of summer vacation. The sky had never been so blue, and laughter filled the air.
Sensaina inhaled every breath of fleeting summer air she could," It sure is!" They were at the local park. It was a quaint place and it was full of children, so many children that they had to hide Doki and Toki!
"It would be nice if.." Jonetsu began. She turned her head to Toki who sat in a corner with a large frown on her face.
"Toki what's wrong?" Sensaina asked softly.
"I don't want to be a burden to you right now-desu," Toki said with a gloomy tone that was unusual from her.
"Doki?" Jonetsu asked.
"Alright-kore." Doki responded,'' I guess you could say she's feeling...homesick-kore."
"Homesick?" The girls repeated.
"Well that's not really the word.. she's missing someone from home-kore."
"Who's this someone from home?" Haruko questioned. As Doki was about to respond, she was pushed away by her twin eagerly.
"What a turnaround," Sensaina said to herself.
"This isn't just any someone-desu! This was my best friend-desu!" Toki exclaimed
"So I guess you had to leave them behind as you came to the human world?" Haruko asked.
Toki bit her lip to prevent it from quivering but eventually bursted into tears.
"Toki, please don't cry!" Haruko shouted," Because if you cry I'll start to.." Haruko began to bawl.
"You two really are hopeless," Jonetsu said under her breath.
"You know what? We're going to devote this day on making Toki feel better!" Sensaina declared.
"How are we going to do that?" Jonetsu skeptically asked.
"Yeah?" Haruko asked as she wiped away her and Toki's tears.
Sensaina looked around both ways to see if anyone was around. It seemed the crowd had died down.
"Alright, first, Toki get into your human form." Sensaina ordered. Toki looked confused but still did as required. The little blue fairy was transformed into the beautiful girl with wavy sea blue hair and eyes.
"Now what?" Toki asked.
"Now, we're going to find some friends for you!" Sensaina exclaimed, with Jonetsu and Haruko cheering her on.
Elsewhere, particularly at Malevolent, Ignis and Hydra were observing their 'progress' and how much info they had on the Pretty Cure.
"But we don't have any Pretty Cure info!" Hydra whined to Ignis.
"Well, we've witnessed all their attacks, know their names, and even those little fairy sidekicks!" Ignis defended.
"Alright, we don't have any decent Pretty Cure info!" Hydra stated.
Ignis gnashed her teeth together, frustrated by her teammate's uselessness,"Why am I always around such an incompetent, air-headed, blue-haired- wait a second."
Ignis' train of thought had crashed.
"What?" Hydra batted her eyelashes cluelessly, giving Ignis her full undivided attention for once.
"Hm.."Ignis sounded as she went into deep thought as she stared at Hydra.
"Like, what is it?" Hydra questioned starting to feel a tad uncomfortable by Ignis.
"That fairy has a human form and conveniently that form.." Ignis started as she pictured Toki's human form and then looked at Hydra.
"You do realize you look like that fairy's human form?" Ignis interrogated.
"Do I?" Hydra asked," Better check the trusty mirror." Hydra skipped off into the other room. Hydra didn't return for a whole hour. Finally, she came back.
"Well?" Ignis questioned.
"You're right, I do look like the fairy in human form." Hydra simply responded. Ignis cracked her knuckles, gnashed her teeth again, and stomped her feet to the ground.
"It took you a whole hour to realize that?!" Ignis screamed," Never mind. We can use your looks as an advantage." Ignis conjured up a picture of humanoid Toki.
"Firstly you hair is slightly longer than the fairy's." Ignis walked circles around Hydra.
"No, I'm not cutting my hair," Hydra stated causing Ignis to roll her eyes.
"But this we'll have to change.." Ignis pointed to humanoid Toki's blue eyes," Her eyes aren't a devious red like yours!"
Hydra let out a smirk," My eyes are like glimmering rubies. You wouldn't exchange a ruby for anything less."
Ignis looked at her irritatedly and said slowly," If the fairy's eyes are blue then your eyes need to be blue for the sake of the mission!"
Hydra was adamant and only said," But blue eyes are boring. It's not like those humans would even notice anyway."
Ignis' fingers unconsciously started to wiggle around, sparking a flame into her palms," Are you kidding me? Anyone would notice your dumb red eyes! They're big, unnatural and ugly like you!"
Now Hydra finally lost her temper from that one little comment with orbs of water forming in her hands," You want to see ugly? Just wait until I'm finished with you!"
"Where did the not smart girls go?" Tsuchiyo asked himself as he ambled down the dark and bleak corridor. He came towards the room that held the two he was looking for. As he slowly opened the door, he witnessed the unforgettable. Hydra and Ignis weren't actually fighting with their powers and Hydra could be seen with her hands around Ignis' neck while Ignis yanked at Hydra's hair.
"What are you-?!"
"Tsuchiyo! Get out!" The girls cried in unison.
Ignis and Hydra made up, though the former was in truth unwilling to but for this plan, she didn't really have any other choice.
"Alright. Now that we have you looking that fairy. Let's rerun our plan." Ignis said to the Toki-looking Hydra. She was surprised with the spiting image of Toki she created. She even got Hydra to take off her mask.
"Got it! First you find the fairy and abduct it. Then I go into the fairy's place and then find out everything on the Cures!" Hydra explained.
"Perfect. And maybe while we have that fairy, we could hold it captive until they relinquish their powers and strive to save the Heart of Dreams!" Ignis exclaimed.
Hydra gave her fellow Major applause childishly.
"I'll start searching for the fairy," Ignis declared. As she searched thoroughly for the fairy she almost instantly discovered the fairy was exactly below her.
"Now then.." Toki was a near distance from the girls but not near enough to be seen kidnapped. She was 'mingling' with a few boys Sensaina and Jonetsu found for her. As she asked for a drink, the litter of the boys did as requested and went off to fetch their maiden a drink. Ignis swooped down in front of the girl and made this all seem as natural as possible.
"Hi, would you like to try on this necklace of mine?" Ignis asked as she slowly took off her orange pendant.
"Hey aren't you-?" It was too late as Ignis slipped her pendant around Toki's neck, causing her to revert into her fairy form. Ignis caught Toki as she fell in midair,losing her glorious height, and ripped the pendant off of the fairy as not having on felt unbearable. Ignis snapped both her fingers in a signal like way and Hydra then appeared.
"Make sure you find out everything you can get out of the Pretty Cure!" Ignis advised. Toki was yelping, but quickly Ignis slammed her mouth shut.
"Gotcha and bye-bye," Hydra said as she waved down cynically to Toki. Hydra was spotted by the boys who were fancying Toki and was offered one large beverage. She look down to the boys and swiftly took the drink.
"Later!" She walked off hearing the boys cheer for her.
"Toki! Why are you walking off?!" Jonetsu rushed towards her.
"Oh, er, um they didn't like me for my real self-desu," She improvised.
"Why are you saying desu?" Sensaina questioned.
"Um... I guess, I um, maybe.." Hydra rambled.
"Toki, are you feeling alright?" Haruko asked with a worried tone.
"I'm just peachy!" Hydra reassured.
"Alright, well let's find you some more boys!" Haruko interjected. As they walked along, Hydra pretended she was at ease with the girls, even though she didn't know who they were. While Sensaina and Jonetsu's suspicions were raising, Haruko skipped along naïvely.
"Chi~" The two stared in unison at Hydra in front of them.
"Guys, what are you doing?" Haruko whispered. They looked towards their fellow cures with regret in their eyes. Regret because Haruko was so ignorant! They stopped walking and let Hydra wander off.
"Haruko," Sensaina began with clenched teeth.
"We don't think that's Toki," Jonetsu finished. Haruko gave them an expression of confusion and then shook off the statement.
"What are you talking about?" Haruko asked carelessly.
Jonetsu took a deep breath to calm her down," This is definitely not Toki. We're sure of it!" At this point it seemed like all they were getting from Haruko was denial.
"Prove it." Haruko requested. Jonetsu bit the inside of her cheek, proving it was probably not going to be as easy. They walked towards Hydra with determination but not a plan. Hydra spun around and plastered on an inadequate smile.
"Hey I have a question," Hydra began.
"What is it?" Sensaina asked hesitantly. Hydra leaned in as if she didn't want her question to be heard.
"Do you know..." Hydra began. The girls leaned much closer," Where the Pretty Cure might be?" The girls darted back in surprise.
"I can't believe this!" They yelped.
"You're...you're" Haruko stammered in rage.
"I'm just the innocent blue fairy," Hydra said timidly.
"You don't even know her name!" Haruko wailed. She pulled up her sleeves and balled her fists. Hydra slowly realized she was in danger and made a run for it.
"Ignis!" Hydra cried. Haruko chased her down with Sensaina and Jonetsu following along.
"She's like a track star," Jonetsu remarked as Haruko zoomed towards Hydra.
Meanwhile Ignis held Toki captive in a flaming cage nearby. Ignis and the cage that held Toki were perched onto a tree. Suddenly she heard her name being cried, stammered, and wailed.
"Hm?" Ignis sounded. She looked down and saw Hydra being pursued by Haruko,Sensaina,and Jonetsu.
"Ignis!" Hydra hollered. Ignis rolled her eyes and laid her back against the tree.
"I'll help...eventually," Ignis snickered.
"How sadistic-desu," Toki quietly remarked.
Hydra was cornered and began to panic drastically.
"Ignis, Ignis!" Hydra shouted," I swear if you don't help me right now, I'll turn you to charcoal gosh darn it!"
"Fine," Ignis grasped the cage and descended in front of Hydra
"A hundred flaming demons!" She chanted and surrounding the girls were a load of demon-like creatures made from, well, fire.
"Now let's go," Ignis said seductively and she ,along with Hydra, was transported away.
The girls dodged and evaded each of the demons' attacks and soon found themselves out of breath.
"Now or never," Sensaina advised. Her fellow cures and herself held up their dream keepers.
"Pretty Cure, Dream On!" They shouted as they transformed into their cure selves.
"Singing the everlasting melody, Cure Songstress!" Songstress introduced.
"Joining two hearts together, Cure Matchmaker!" Matchmaker introduced.
"Growing everything in a lifeless land, Cure Garden!" Garden introduced.
"Guardians of dreams, side by side, together we are," They struck a pose," Dream High, Pretty Cure!"
"Pretty Cure, Musical Clash!" Songstress shouted.
"Pretty Cure, Lovesick Barrage!" Matchmaker shouted.
"Pretty Cure, Budding Charge!" Garden shouted. The triple attack quickly wiped out all of the demons Ignis created.
"Now to find Toki.." Garden trailed off cheerlessly.
"Don't worry, we'll get her back!" Songstress reassured. Garden gave her a timid smile.
"Am I just a best friend replacement in Toki's heart?" Garden thought to herself. She looked up to the sky. The clouds had completely enveloped the sun and the sky was now grey. The atmosphere around her wasn't giving much of a 'You can do it!' feeling. They dashed towards what felt like the right direction, according to Doki and eventually encountered the two female majors again.
"Oh look, we've been found," Ignis jeered.
"Everyone-desu!" Toki cried from the cage's interior.
"Toki!'' They shouted in unison. Garden, enraged, recklessly used her Budding Charge attack repeatedly towards Ignis but continuously missed each shot.
"Aren't we forgetting something?" Hydra asked in a sultry tone.
"Malvoid!" A monstrous lemonade glass bellowed.
"One step ahead," Ignis responded confidently. Garden was still acting recklessly and used her Budding Charge attack on the Malvoid. She cracked her thumb knuckles as her attack seemed to have failed.
"Why won't it-?" Garden began angrily before realizing the Malvoid was aiming to her. As it locked it's straw on the pinpoint that was Garden, it squirted out a mouthful of lemonade. Garden attempted to shield herself with only her arms.
"Pretty Cure, Double Bubble Cover!" Her two fellow cures shouted. Miraculously, Garden was dry and safe inside a violet and red bubble.
"Garden, you're not alone," Songstress reminded. Garden flashed a genuine smile to the girls and was now ready to fight alongside her fellow cures. They ascended and readied themselves to attack.
"Pretty Cure, Triple Dreamer Smash!" They shouted as they kicked down to the Malvoid. The Malvoid fell to the ground and seemed unable to even get up.
"Ignis that's the weakest Malvoid I've ever seen!" Hydra scolded. Ignis clamped her ears shut with her hands.
Garden took one step forward.
"Pretty Cure, Blooming Empathy!" Garden shouted. A large flower came towards her and she smacked it open, causing a million smaller flowers to surround the Malvoid.
"Awake!' She shouted as she purified the Malvoid. After the Malvoid reverted back into a glass of lemonade and the dreamstone's duplication and departure, Garden took another larger step forward, making Ignis and Hydra confidently one step back.
Garden let her fingertips involuntarily fidget, and as a result vine-like stems grew from them.
"Botanical Evergreen.." She began to chant, causing the 'vines' grow and slowly reach Ignis and Hydra," Flourish!'' The vines latched themselves around the cage and Garden began to tug on onto the cage. Ignis did the same with Hydra being of aid by holding on to the woman's shoulders.
"Songstress, Matchmaker!" Garden cried out. Songstress and Matchmaker both took a hold of her and tugged as hard as they could. Ignis and Hydra lost grip of the cage and as it left Ignis' grasp, the flames quickly diminished. The cage was pelted on to Garden's chest, forcing her to skid and fall backwards, but she didn't seem to care.
"Well I at least we got some info on you Pretty Cure brats!" Ignis boasted ignorantly.
"No we didn't," Hydra said quietly.
"What?!" Ignis screamed before they disappeared.
"Toki I'm glad we got you back!" Garden exclaimed as she broke Toki free from the cage," And I promise I'll be the best replacement I can be!"
"Replacement-desu?" Toki repeated.
"Well, I thought-" Garden stammered.
"One friend is one friend-desu," Toki began, " And Haruko is another!" Garden giggled in her usual childish tone. Songstress was glad that Garden's positivity returned, while Matchmaker looked to the sky. Rain was pattering down.
"Guys it's-" Matchmaker began.
Garden turned around to face Matchmaker with Toki in her arms, " I could care less right now!"
It was night now and the rain was really pouring down. Hydra and Ignis stood before Hirutaro in the doorway of a balcony. But on the balcony was someone, probably a man, obscured by shadows watching the rain pour down heavily with pleasure.
"Hirutaro, we're really sorry!" Ignis apologized as she gave a bow.
"This won't,like,ever happen again!" Hydra reassured desperately.
"Obviously you've realized this first the first time you've failed to defeat the Pretty Cure," Hirutaro scolded.
"Oh please don't get rid of us!" Hydra was down on her knees at this point.
"You act like I have the authority to demolish you worthless failures," Hirutaro responded in a bitter tone. Hirutaro looked towards the figure on the balcony.
"What do you suppose I do with them, your majesty?" Hirutaro called out. The figure seemed to have heard him, but they didn't respond. Hirutaro squinted his eyes in frustration.
"Alright you can stay, but I'd rather you two not work so closely together," Hirutaro advised.
"Fine, she was becoming a bit of a dead weight on me," Hydra stated.
"Dead weight?!" Ignis repeated. As the two girls squabbled and Hirutaro left, the figure was thoughtlessly gazing at the rain splashing down.
