"I never realized how pathetic my grade point average thingy was until today!" Haruko groaned. Awkwardly, Sensaina placed her hand onto Haruko's shoulder.
"It's not that bad," Sensaina said as her attempt to comfort Haruko.
"Easy for you to say!" Haruko said,"You have Jonetsu in your class!"
"And that's helps me how...?" Sensaina asked.
"Aw come on, don't tell me you've never got to look at her answers for more than a few moments as she turns her head upwards to listen to the teacher!" Haruko said as she dramatized the statement in her head.
"Do you honestly think Jonetsu's that generous with her answers?" Sensaina asked as she raised an eyebrow.
The two girls were walking around the neighborhood without Jonetsu as apparently, something came up.
"Do you think she's just studying for some test?" Haruko asked as she held her hands behind her head.
"I'm not too sure." Sensaina said. After a little more walking, the two unknowingly wound up in the district where Jonetsu's house was.
"Go to hell!" They heard what had to be Jonetsu's voice yell.
"I may as well be in hell!" A very obnoxious voice that no one should be punished to hear twice countered.
"What's going on?" Sensaina whispered.
Haruko was peering around the corner, spotting Jonetsu and some guy.
"Better question, who's that?" Haruko asked.
Sensaina went behind Haruko to peer around the corner. Jonetsu was standing with a boy her height who had jet black gelled hair and blue eyes. He dressed outrageously in a solid pink t-shirt and orange pants, making him look like a certain explorer. Jonetsu appeared to be unimpressed with the boy and the boy seemed desperate. Just as Jonetsu was about to walk back to her house, the boy held her shoulder.
"Joni, why do you have to be so unreasonable?" The boy asked.
"Barano, give me a break." Jonetsu said bitterly.
"Aw, come on it's not my fault!" Barano yelled, the obnoxious tone of voice returning.
"You're repulsive!" Jonetsu shouted as she karate chopped him down. He let out a very strange scream and fell near to Jonetsu's knees.
"But if you don't tell me, I'm going to get in trouble with Masaru, and then Masaru's going to get into trouble with his boss!" Barano cried.
"Why should I care about what happens to either of you?!" Jonetsu said.
"Are you seriously going to go there?" Barano asked as he put on what seemed to be his serious tone," Masaru's in a gang you know."
"Aren't you in a gang too?" Jonetsu asked.
"Yeah but my gang's full of a bunch of dorks and posers!" Barano shouted in his defense.
"I. Don't. Care." Jonetsu said impatiently.
"Joni, wait!" Barano yelled as she was about to leave for the second time during their conversation.
"Jonetsu!" Haruko shouted as she left the spying spot.
"Haruko!" Sensaina yell-whispered as she followed along.
"Guys! Wha-what are you doing here?" Jonetsu asked as she turned red.
"Who are they?" Barano asked.
"Friends of Jonetsu." Haruko declared.
"These are your friends?" Barano asked as he pointed to Sensaina and Haruko.
"Well, yeah..." Jonetsu responded quietly.
"I hope you're having fun with this nutcase!" Barano hollered to Sensaina and Haruko.
"That's it, get out of here!" Jonetsu said as she kicked him off the sidewalk.
"You trying to get me killed?!" Barano yelled as he brushed himself out.
"Barano, leave." Jonetsu ordered.
"Ok, fine. Have fun with Masaru and his friends." Barano said as he walked off.
"Jonetsu, who was that?" Sensaina asked.
"No one really..." Jonetsu replied awkwardly.
"Jonetsu who was that guy?!" Haruko asked as she suddenly began to shake Jonetsu.
"Alright, alright!" Jonetsu shouted as she ripped herself free from Haruko," He's..one of my exs.."
"You have exs?!" Haruko shouted. Of course, being the childish girl she was, the whole boyfriend and breakup concept was somewhat new to her and because of the friends she had, it's not like she knew alot on relationships.
"I wish I had exs.." Sensaina sobbed.
"Yeah, and the guy Barano talking about, Masaru, he's another one of my exs.. and he's Barano's older brother." Jonetsu explained.
Now Sensaina was starting to get a little more curious.
"How old is Masaru?" Sensaina cautiously asked.
"Twenty?" Jonetsu guestimated. Sensaina held her mouth in shock while Haruko willingly gasped loudly.
"He was nineteen when we were going out!" Jonetsu shouted in her defense.
"That doesn't make it any better.." Haruko cringed.
"So apparently, he's some sort of assistant for a local artist in the neighboring town.." Jonetsu explained.
"And..?" The two girls asked.
"This artist despises my mother and he is just waiting for the downfall of Makka Hihoshi." Jonetsu continued," Mom's working on an apparently legendary piece and this guy just wants this alleged masterpiece up in flames or something like that."
"That's so cruel.." Sensaina said while Haruko was at a loss for words.
"Wh-what she said.." Haruko stammered.
"Well, while we're here.." Haruko began,"..Can we look at your mom's masterpiece?"
"I'm not even allowed to look at my mom's masterpiece." Jonetsu said.
"Persistence, Jonetsu. That's all there is to it!" Haruko shouted cheerfully as she dragged Jonetsu and Sensaina into the house.
"I don't think this is the best idea.." Jonetsu groaned as she was getting dragged.
Within a matter of seconds, the girls were inside Jonetsu's house and now in front of Makka's painting quarters.
"Knock, knock!" Haruko shouted playfully as she banged on the door.
"Haruko, you can't be so noisy!" Jonetsu yell-whispered through clenched teeth.
"Stay out. I'm busy." Makka stated.
"We just want to come look at your drawing.." Haruko stated innocently.
"Drawing?" Makka repeated.
"Huh?" Haruko asked.
Suddenly, the doors to the painting quarters opened.
"Do you honestly think this is a simple drawing? Do you think such an artist as myself would produce something as simple as a drawing?" Makka questioned.
"Well no, it's just um well, also, I've never been in contact with any of your artwork.." Haruko said as her teeth chattered.
"Look around this house, my art is all around." Makka stated.
"Th-that's nice." Haruko said quietly as she avoided eyecontact with Makka.
"Mom." Jonetsu said as she walked up to her," I'm sure you're aware of Tomoki Genhara and his uprise in the art community."
"Of course." Makka scoffed.
"And with every uprise comes a downfall, and the downfall he's anticipating on is yours." Jonetsu stated neutrally.
"Ok then," Makka simply responded.
"You can not be so nonchalant about this." Jonetsu said.
"Says you." Makka said childishly. She then went back into her painting quarters.
"She paints, sketches, draws like there's no tomorrow." Jonetsu stated," Of course, there was no way we'd see this masterpiece of hers."
"Jonetsu.." Sensaina said.
"Don't worry though, we'll see it...eventually." Jonetsu said as she gave a reassuring smile to the girls. But obviously, the girls weren't buying Jonetsu's positive front for a second.
"In any case, we should do some sort of research on that Tomoki guy right?" Jonetsu asked.
Sensaina and Haruko narrowed their eyes at Jonetsu's idea.
"Research?" The girls asked together.
"Aw don't worry, research can be fun, I'll show you!" Jonetsu cheered.
"Research is anything but fun!" Sensaina said under her breath.
Soon, they were inside Jonetsu's room lazing around while Jonetsu was on her laptop searching up Tomoki.
"Velvet blankets are to die for.." Haruko said as she cuddled Jonetsu's red velvet blankets on her double bed.
Jonetsu, still fixated on her computer screen, didn't seem to be getting any form of data on Tomoki.
"Surprising how he's a famous local artist yet there's so limited data on him.." Jonetsu noted," No archived information, nothing.."
"Jonetsu, let me see." Sensaina said. Jonetsu showed her the laptop screen and Sensaina studied the nearly blank screen before her. Contrary to popular belief, Sensaina was better than Jonetsu when it came to computers. But, after ten minutes of messing with the address bar and making very very specific searches on Yahoogle, Sensaina gave up.
"I'm sorry.." Sensaina groaned as she buried her head into Jonetsu's velvet blanket.
"I think we need to take this research thing to the next level." Haruko declared.
"The next level..?" Sensaina and Jonetsu repeated together.
"And that would be..?" Jonetsu asked.
"Going to see Tomoki Genhara himself!" Haruko shouted.
"No way, that would involve a day's worth of travel by car!" Sensaina objected.
"But we really need to find some information on this guy..and since we're unable to find anything about him and his art on the internet, going to see him in person is our only hope." Jonetsu declared.
"But I doubt your mom would be willing to take us.." Sensaina said.
"Who said my mom would be taking us?" Jonetsu asked.
"Well Haruko's mom can't drive and my mom's busy all weekend..." Sensaina listed.
"Miyako can drive, can't she?" Jonetsu asked.
"Oh yeah..." Sensaina droned.
The next day, the girls were assembled at Sensaina's house. Miyako agreed to take the girls to the next town as apparently she had friends there she hadn't seen in a while so now seemed to be the perfect opportunity.
"Miyako, how much longer are you going to take?" Sensaina shouted from downstairs.
"I can't decide!" Miyako groaned.
"Can't decide on what?" Sensaina asked.
Miyako rushed downstairs with a shimmery blue hairbow in one hand and a polka-dotted flower clip in the other hand.
"Which should I wear?" Miyako asked desperately.
"Wear the bow in the car and the flower outside of the car.." Sensaina suggested reluctantly.
"Perfect!" Miyako exclaimed. As she put on the bow, the girls walked outside.
"You sure know how to help your sister," Jonetsu remarked.
"She and Minako are always like that." Sensaina sighed.
Soon, the girls were in the car and after a few hours, they were at the neighboring town, Nekojutaku. The streets were much different from the girls' city. The streets seemed to be flooded with artist prodigies and for some reason, the sun refused to beam down on the citizens of Nekojutaku.
"So, where does this artist guy live?" Miyako asked. The girls froze up.
"We never found out.." Sensaina responded.
"How are we supposed to find Genhara now?!" Haruko shrieked.
"Genhara..as in Tomoki Genhara?" A soft voice asked from nearby. The girls looked towards the direction from where the voice came and saw a boy of their age with dull blonde hair and grey sullen eyes.
"Y-yeah.." Jonetsu said as she awkwardly towards him.
"I'm Hiraku, follow me. I'll take you to Tomoki Genhara." The boy said.
"Wow, thank you!" Jonetsu exclaimed. The girls, with Miyako now gone in search of her friend, followed Hiraku and they eventually approached a very old looking house.
"This is his house. Only few at a time are allowed entrance." He said in a dull tone.
"I'm getting chills just being in here.." Haruko said as she looked around. The house was poorly lit, but anyone could see Tomoki wasn't much of a neat freak with large amounts of sketches lying around.
"Sensaina, don't forget to take pictures.." Jonetsu whispered.
"Got it." Sensaina nodded.
"We were unable to find any of Tomoki's pieces on the iternet.." Jonetsu said sheepishly.
"I see.." Hiraku responded," Then I guess you can come into his painting room with me."
"Really?" Haruko asked excitedly.
"Why not." Hiraku smirked.
Into the painting quarters they went and in there, they finally witnessed Tomoki Genhara's paintings. He painted extraordinary things, mystical things, horrifying things. But for sure, one thing was present in all of them; the colour scarlet.
As Jonetsu looked at Tomoki's paintings, Hiraku looked at Jonetsu intently. Soon enough, Jonetsu took notice of his staring.
"Is there something wrong?" Jonetsu asked stiffly.
"No, not at all..it's just your hair..it's of a breath taking colour.." Hiraku exhaled.
"Go on, it looks like you have more to say." Jonetsu said in her smitten tone she reserved for men like Hiraku.
"It's colour coveted by cold blooded women, hair the colour of both ripe strawberries and fresh blood. Like blood and strawberries, your hair is able to make others want more.." Hiraku said.
Now somewhat creeped out by Hiraku, Jonetsu took a few steps back.
"Well..thanks." Jonetsu said.
Suddenly, the door to Tomoki's painting room flung open and inside came a middle aged man.
"Tomoki, what are you doing?" The man shouted.
"T-tomoki?" Sensaina stuttered.
"No way..this kid could be Tomoki Genhara.." Jonetsu thought.
"My real name is Hiraku, Tomoki Genhara is a pseudonym." Hiraku stated.
"So does that mean..?" Haruko trailed off.
"Yes, I am Tomoki Genhara." Hiraku answered.
"H-how old are you?" Sensaina asked.
"Only fourteen years of age." Hiraku said with a half grin.
"Tomoki..that girl..! She's..!" The man was too shocked to make sense.
"Calm down." Hiraku simply said," Now, who is she?" With the look on Hiraku's face, he expected himself to take the man's news lightly.
"She's..the daughter of Makka Hihoshi!" He cried.
Hiraku's eyes widened shock," What? Hihoshi has a kid?!"
"What kind of nemesis are you?" Jonetsu asked skeptically," Not a good one to me if you don't know that much on my mom!"
"That's it, get out of here!" Hiraku yelled.
"Ha, we're already gone!" Jonetsu shouted as she, Sensaina, and Haruko left the house.
"Good riddance.." Hiraku said bitterly through clenched teeth"..Hihoshi girl."
On the car ride back, The four girls awkwardly sat in silence.
Eventually, Jonetsu reluctantly attempted to break the silence.
"Sensaina, you got those photos right?" She asked.
"Yup." Sensaina said as she handed her the camera.
Jonetsu studied each and every picture, noticing how every picture featured the colour scarlet. Jonetsu then held a clump of her hair.
"No wonder he liked me.." She thought.
As the three were dropped off at Jonetsu's house, Sensaina and Haruko exchanged expression of worry about Jonetsu.
"You know..it's weird." Haruko started stiffly," Hiraku's looks like he's only our age and yet he paints like he as old as Makka, n-not saying your mom's old though."
"That doesn't make him weird." Jonetsu said as she stopped walking," That makes him talented."
"I guess so.." Haruko said awkwardly.
"Anyway, it's getting late..you guys should head home for the day." Jonetsu said.
"Sure!" Sensaina said loudly," Oh, I could've gotten a ride with Miyako!" Sensaina slapped her forehead.
Haruko giggled and the two left Jonetsu's house. Jonetsu grinned to the girls as if she didn't have a care in the world but as they were out of eyeshot, the smile disappeared.
"Now I wonder how she's going to take it.." Jonetsu thought out loud," When she finds out this nemesis of hers is my age?"
"Not good! Not good!" Tsuchiyo yelled obnoxiously and childishly.
"Oh goodness, what is it now?" Hydra asked uninterestedly as she sat onto a nearby counter.
"Did you lose your gold boots?" Kagekaze asked flatly.
"N-no! I didn't-" Tsuchiyo checked his feet for his gold boots," Alright I didn't lose my gold boots."
"So what's driving you mad?" Hydra asked in a sick playful tone, now laying on the counter.
"My belt pendant. L-l-l-look at it!" Tsuchiyo cried in distress.
Kagekaze reluctantly took a look at Tsuchiyo's pendant.
"My oh my." Kagekaze smirked.
"D-do you know what's wrong?" Tsuchiyo asked.
"Seems the higher up ,as in Hirutaro, is getting bored with you." Kagekaze responded.
"What does that mean?" Tsuchiyo asked.
"Well, the next time you face the Pretty Cure will likely be your last." Kagekaze said neutrally.
Tsuchiyo whimpered and became even more distressed.
"Unless.." Kagekaze snickered," You harvest and bring back a corrupted dreamstone."
"I'll do it! And I'll do it today!" Tsuchiyo proclaimed as he disappeared to search for dreamstones to corrupt.
"Oh goodness, he doesn't know how close we are to victory we are does he?" Hydra asked.
"Probably not..he doesn't realize what sort of stimulative energy humans are able to exert when they are hopeless." Kagekaze stated.
"He also doesn't seem to realize that's he's extracting not only dreamstones, but the energy itself.. sad to say, I don't even think he knows what he's made of." Hydra remarked.
"With that energy, soon, soon enough..the revival will be complete." Kagekaze grinned maliciously.
Later that night, Jonetsu was growing adamant and unable to tell her mother the truth about Tomoki Genhara. For the past few hours, she had been contemplating and wondering whether it would be the right thing to tell her mother or not.
Suddenly, she heard something, like an egg dropping, from outside her window. Suspicious she went outside to check it out.
From the window of the living room, Jonetsu could see a silhouette of a tall man with what seemed to be a carton of eggs in his hand. Jonetsu went outside impatiently to see who this was. Even though there was a very limited amount of light outside, Jonetsu was able to decipher who this silhouette man was.
"Masaru!" Jonetsu screamed, likely waking half the neighborhood.
"J-jonetsu!" Masaru reddened as he pushed up his hounds tooth glasses. Jonetsu was in a striped red and pink nightgown that barely covered her calves.
"What are you doing here at this hour at night?" She yelled.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Masaru asked.
Jonetsu raised an eyebrow and folded her arms.
"I'm egging your house." He answered.
"Why?" Jonetsu asked.
"Because, Tomoki told me to. That way, when your mom sees this in the morning she'll cry and admit defeat..at least that's what he says." Masaru explained.
"Oh, and I was hoping for some kind of gangbang, not this egging done by some idiot.." Jonetsu said," And besides..my mom can go days without going outside."
"So is she going to admit defeat?" Masaru hopefully asked.
Jonetsu squinted her eyes in frustration," Matchmaker kick!" She shouted as she drove her heel in Masaru's shoulder.
"Ow!" Masaru shouted.
"Get off my property.'' Jonetsu demanded.
"But it's not your-"
"Don't make me repeat myself."
Masaru groaned and left. Jonetsu scoffed and went back inside her house.
By tomorrow, Jonetsu finally decided to tell her mother the truth about Tomoki. Even at too early to be up in the morning, Makka was wide-awake and painting in her chamber that kept her away from from humanity.
"Mom," Jonetsu said as she knocked on the door.
"Busy, can't talk." Makka responded robotically.
"You're always busy.." Jonetsu said as she rolled her eyes,"..Anyway, I found something out about Tomoki the other day.."
No response from her mother was given.
"Mom?"
"I'm listening.''
"Well, apparently...Tomoki Genhara isn't his real name.." Jonetsu said awkwardly. She balled her fists frustrations as she realized she was beating around the bush.
"That's nice, anything else?" Her mom asked flatly.
"Yeah! I actually found out, 'Tomoki' is as old as someone would think.." Jonetsu added vaguely.
"A young- adult?"
"Well, depends..do you think of me as a young adult?"
"Definitely not."
"Alright, so 'Tomoki not a young adult, because..he's no older than me."
During the entire conversation, the sound of Makka sketching and painting could be heard but after the sound of what seemed to be a paintbrush dropping, it was silent.
"M-mom?" Jonetsu called out.
No response whatsoever from Makka was given. Within her chamber of paintings, she was in a state of shock, unable to look at her own paintings, she had her head down on her desk and her eyes were wide open.
From outside, Jonetsu was impatiently waiting for a response from her mother. After another few moments of silence, Jonetsu gave up on her mother and went upstairs to her room.
"So you just left the house?" Sensaina asked. It was noon now and Jonetsu decided to walk around the neighborhood with Sensaina. Sensaina was a good enough listener, for Jonetsu to pour her problems on, but that didn't actually mean she was able to give decent advice.
"Well, yeah..I do this all the time though, don't worry." Jonetsu reassured," So yeah, the response I got from my mom probably wasn't the best one.."
"Doesn't sound too good to me." Sensaina stated dimly," It's hard to believe something like this is bothering her so much.."
"Well, it would bother anyone. Just think, a person who has spent years of their lives doing only what they love most and only improving on a gradual and then all of a sudden, some tween appears and shows you up." Jonetsu said.
"I guess it is pretty bad, but art's not a contest, your mother should know that." Sensaina reasoned.
Jonetsu just sighed," I don't even know what to do with her sometimes, she's so detached from the family..it's been awhile since we all had a day spent with each other and come to think about it, it's been a few months since we had dinner together."
"Jonetsu, I think you should try reattach your mom to your family." Sensaina suggested.
"Sometimes.." Jonetsu stopped walking,"..I think I should too."
"Stepping on the road doodoododo!" Haruko said cheerfully as she, stepped on the road.
"Stepping on the road loodoodoo-desu!" Toki sang along. Suddenly, Toki felt shivers down her spine.
"Toki, what is it?" Haruko asked.
"I feel something like a Malvoid nearby-desu!" Toki cried.
Confused, Haruko looked towards the road.
"Malvoid!" She saw a monsterfied canvas rampaged on the streets.
"Not good!" Haruko yelled. She placed Toki on the ground and reached for her dreamkeeper.
"Go get Sensaina and Jonetsu, I'll lead the Malvoid off the streets." Haruko instructed.
"Got it-desu." Toki nodded.
Haruko faced the Malvoid with a fierce look in her eyes as Toki left.
"Pretty Cure, Dream On!"
"Sensaina, Jonetsu-desu!" Toki cried as she searched the streets for the two girls. Soon enough, she came in contact with the two girls.
"Toki what are you doing here?" Sensaina asked.
"Haruko found a Malvoid and is fighting it by herself-desu!" Toki bawled.
"Let's go." Jonetsu said as she took out her dreamkeeper.
Sensaina nodded and reached for her own dreamkeeper.
"Pretty Cure, Budding Charge!" Garden cried. She was able to lead the Malvoid into a nearby field, and very nearby Tsuchiyo was watching the battle ensue.
"Yes, yes! I getting this dreamstone today!" He declared with pride," And I'll be spared today!"
The Malvoid began to chase Garden.
"What kinda Malvoid is this?" Garden cried childishly.
"This Malvoid's definitely the one that's gonna kill your life!" Tsuchiyo boasted," I know it's good because the host of this dreamstone looks like Cure number red."
As Garden's leg was being held by the Malvoid, she attempted to process this barely comprehensible information she was given.
"Cure number red..as in Matchmaker.." Garden said.
Garden's eyes flickered up as she realized what Tsuchiyo was talking about.
"This dreamstone is Makka's.." Garden stated. The Malvoid then flung Garden into a nearby tree.
"Now that I've got her cornered.." Tsuchiyo smirked.
"Not so fast!" Cure Songstress and Matchmaker said together.
"Huh?"
Tsuchiyo looked up and found the two Cures standing in front of Cure Garden.
"As guardians of dreams.." Songstress began.
"..Side by side.." Matchmaker continued.
"We will not let you, the side of darkness, have your way!" The two declared.
"Did they coordinate it or something?" Garden asked uninterestedly.
"That's it! I'm going to make sure there's no way you beat this Malvoid!" Tsuchiyo declared.
He then glared at the Malvoid.
"Don't just stand there, go get them!" He screamed.
The Malvoid did as told and went towards the Cures.
"Pretty Cure, Melody of Madness!" Songstress shouted as she darted to the left of the Malvoid.
"Pretty Cure, Heartthrob of Lust!" Matchmaker shouted as she darted to the right of the Malvoid.
The Malvoid collapsed to the ground as it was hit.
"I'm not done yet!" Tsuchiyo screamed as stomped his feet, causing Garden to scurry up the tree for refuge and Songstress and Matchmaker to jump.
"Energize!" Tsuchiyo commanded the Malvoid as he pointed his finger to it.
"Malvoid!" The Malvoid stood to it's feet and charged towards Garden.
Garden rolled her eyes," Pretty Cure, Bouquet of Radiance!"
The Malvoid fell for the second time during the battle.
"Energize!" Tsuchiyo hollered nonhesitantly as he pointed to the Malvoid.
Every the Malvoid was re-energized, it was knocked down several seconds later.
At Malevolent, Hydra and Kagekaze were watching Tsuchiyo's fight.
"He doesn't realize what's he's doing, does he?" Hydra asked.
"Of course not. And at this rate..well, let's just say things are looking bleak for Malevolent today." Kagekaze stated.
After several re-energizes, Tsuchiyo found himself out of breath, unable to even stand.
"What's going on?" Tsuchiyo asked aloud.
"What is going on?" Songstress asked.
"Haven't you noticed?" Matchmaker asked.
Songstress simply shook her head.
"Every time he re-energized the Malvoid, he took energy out of the onyx gem on his belt, so now.." Matchmaker trailed off in hopes Songstress caught on.
"He can't re-energize the Malvoid, because now he's lost all of his energy.." Songstress said realization.
"And now-kore.." Doki started,"..It's our best chance to cleanse the Malvoid-kore."
Ok!" Songstress said.
Matchmaker placed the dreamstone into the Casket as soon as Garden opened the Casket.
"Specialize!" The three called out.
Suddenly the atmosphere around them turned white.
"For Destinies!" Garden cried.
"For Hope!" Matchmaker shouted.
"For Dreams." Songstress said.
"With the miracle of magic, Pretty Cure shall arise!" The three chanted.
"Pretty Cure, Dreaming Wonderland!" The three cried. Within the white atmosphere, the Malvoid was soon cornered and was soon rendered trapped.
"Awake!" They yelled as they purified the Malvoid.
Tsuchiyo was in shock as he watched his final Malvoid disappear. He then looked at the gem on his belt. It was now simply stone cold grey.
"I don't need it..I don't need it." Tsuchiyo declared as he tossed the gem to the ground.
"Hey wait! You still have intel on Malevolent!" Garden shouted.
"N-no I don't!" Tsuchiyo as he ran away. As he ran, he caused multiple tiny tremors strong to unbalance the Cures.
As Garden ran for him, she fell on something.
"Ouch! What did I-?" Garden moved her knee to see what went under it.
Under her knee was Tsuchiyo's gem, now cracked.
Garden and Tsuchiyo's eyes shrunk in fear.
"Look what you've done!" Tsuchiyo shouted.
"Look what I've done? You're the one who tossed over his shoulder because he didn't care!" Garden shouted.
"But now look at me!" Tsuchiyo cried as he began to disappear.
"It's for the best." Songstress simply said.
The three stood up and readied themselves.
"Pretty Cure, Hopeful Hand!" The Cures shouted.
The attack caused Tsuchiyo to disappear even faster.
"Stupid Pretty Cure!" Tsuchiyo shouted as his final words.
"Mom?" Jonetsu carelessly walked into her mother's painting quarters, finding head down on her desk.
"Mom, it's late afternoon get up." Jonetsu said.
"Huh?" Makka said as she awoke. She opened her eyes seeing Sensaina, Jonetsu and Haruko in front of her. She didn't seem to mind all the people in her room right now.
"What you'd come in here for?" Makka asked groggily.
"Mom.." Jonetsu started unwillingly," I know of this family compiled of a father and one girl. The girl spends a reasonable amount of time with the father and although they like their time together, they feel like something's missing. A mother. The two would like to have a mother in their family so their family can be complete, would you like to be this mother?"
Makka blinked for a few moments, unsure of what exactly to say.
Finally she giggled and smiled," Yes, I'd liked to be this mother."
Jonetsu grinned and Sensaina highfived Haruko behind Jonetsu's back.
"So, do you want to see my latest piece? I finished it this morning." Makka said as she stood up from her chair.
On the canvas was a silvery flower in the moonlight.
"What a pretty flower.." Sensaina said.
"Moon flower to be exact." Haruko corrected.
"I'm glad you girls like it." Makka chuckled.
"Mom, do you still remember my favourite flower?'' Jonetsu asked.
"Isn't the Moon flower?" Makka asked gently.
"That's my mom." Jonetsu replied with a large smile.
