Ichigo screamed. But the dagger never touched her, instead sinking into the chest of Licorice. Lizzie coughed, and a jet of blood was sprayed all over Dark's face. "Nobody… touches my friends…" Lizzie groaned, yanking the Dark Dagger out of herself.

"Mew Mew Dark! Finish her off!" ordered PepperAnne.

With savage roars, Cream and Sherbet launched themselves onto Dark's back, pulling her away from Licorice and Ichigo. Relieved of fending off Dark, she collapsed. "Lizzie! Why did you—"

"You're a Mew. We may have different views on how to do it, but that's because we're different. We still work together to save the Earth, and we must protect each other." Lizzie groaned. She struggled to her feet. "Let me… go… I have to help… Sharon and… Carrie…"

"Ribbon Pudding-Ring… Inferno!"

Dark growled in shock as the Pudding-Ring Inferno barely missed her. She waited, tail lashing.

"So that's it." Sherbet said.

"What's it?" asked Ichigo.

"Dark is a created Mew, and apparently brain-washed. She will now only do as ordered. So if we can deafen her, it's gonna be easy to take her out!"

"Ribbon Death Dagger Strike!" Sharon screamed as the blow hit her full in the back.

"Sharon!" Carrie quickly grabbed the unconscious Mew and lifted her out of danger. "She's knocked out, but that's all!"

"It's decided! Deafen her!" shouted Lizzie, somehow healed of all her wounds.

"H-how is that possible? She was all beat up just a moment ago!" Ichigo gasped.

"Would it surprise you if we said we aren't human?" Carrie asked. "No, we're the cats our animals are. We were made using Mew Aqua's effects. Lizzie is the last displacer beast. I'm a snow leopard. Sharon's owners are probably in possession of a new cat by now."

Without further ado, Carrie leapt in to join the fight.

Mew Aqua. A powerful substance. It could heal the world, or destroy it in a moment. But it also changed three cats into human girls. Lost and alone, these new Mews were drawn to each other. Together, they fought monsters made from humans. They knew the pain of their form being perverted to something different, and made it their mission to fight the fiend that made the people into monsters. Three rare and exotic cats, all barely out of kitten-hood, sworn to defend the Earth.
