Holy shit, 166 views for the first chapter? Also my story status said I got 242 views… Am I really that good? XD

Damn, thanks a lot!

Oh, Kamen Rider Chrome; This Stranger feels honored that you faved and followed this story.

Now, on with the show!

Episode 2: Growth

The first thing I heard when I came to was birds, chirping their songs.

I slowly opened my eyes, the sunlight's beam helped. I raised myself, and sat on the bed. The clock on the wall told me it's nine AM. Then, I remembered what happened;

Holy shit, I just met one of the Precure teams!

Damn, guess the pain on my chest hasn't healed yet… Better cut down the fanboyism for a while. And now that I think about it, I believe the last time I was awake, I've forgotten that the Kiryuu Sisters didn't have the powers that made Cures Bloom and Egret turn into Bright and Windy; it was those two fairy things. Saki and Mai gave them those powers for the finale. Are those two even actual twins? Man, how the hell did I forget those facts?

Alright, this room appears to be some sort of infirmary. I see some medical cabinets and a first aid kit. I see a window; guess it's time to find out where I am. Okay, legs, let's see you work!

The numbness of these two limbs of mine made me shiver, as I stood for a moment to let the blood flow circulate, I limped towards the window. Outside was a panoramic view of the city... I forget the name, but you won't see this kind of beauty in Indonesia; too much house complexes and very few spaces. Sure, there are hilled housings, but the ones back home can't compare to this.

So, you have awoken, Linto.

Oh, you. Guess this isn't a dream, isn't it?

I'm afraid not. I am surprised that you are calm about this; I do not think any normal Linto would act like you.

Yeah, well I'm one of a kind, then… Say, I know that in the show, you communicated with Godai via telepathy, but how are you able to speak to me? I thought you don't work that way.

Perhaps the forces that brought us to this world had amplified my powers. Speaking of powers, the four maidens we saw…

Oh, crud! I just went bonkers before I passed out again, didn't I? They must think me a maniac – even though I admit it – and got scared! Way to go, me! Damn it all…

I feel a presence… it is about to enter this room.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and a man who is about my age walks in. His hair is like the ones you see on those Japanese boy bands; long enough to cover almost his face, but not long enough to reach his shoulders. He wore some sort of lab coat, and carried a book. "Ah, I see you are awake." Said the man, in perfect English. I was a bit startled that he could speak it well, but guess that's just my pride of being the best English speaker around being shattered. I replied to him, "Uh… Yeah. Sorry for intruding, mister…" "Kazuya, Mishou Kazuya. And no, it's alright, you're not intruding or anything." He walked towards me, a hand extended, I took and shake it. "I'm Rasyid Surataruna." Ladies, meet Mai's big brother.

Wow, I'm shaking hands with a fictional character. Guess my theory of somewhere exist a universe where fictional characters actually existing has been proven correct! Too bad I never told anybody of this, nor do I think they would be interested.

"Uh, Mister Surataruna? Are you alright? You were spacing out a bit…" Whoops, better refocus myself, "Oh, sorry, guess I still feel a bit groggy… And please, call me Rasyid; Mister Surataruna is my grandfather." If you're wondering, my dad has that for a last name too, but I didn't found out until I was about 18. Then again, I didn't pay much attention back then.

"You thirsty?" asked Kazuya, "I've prepared a cup of tea for you on the table." He beckoned me to said table; it was a few centimeters from the bed I was on. I sat on the chair near it, and sip the cup. "Wow, this is some damn good tea! I thought my granny brewed the tastiest, but this is also good!" Kazuya smiled at my compliment, "Thanks, my mother taught me to do it." He then poured the contents of the pot to his own cup. As much as I want to enjoy the moment, I better found out what happened to me.

"So, Rasyid… You must be wondering how you got here, am I right?" "Hah, you read my mind, Kazuya… Oh wait, should I say Mishou-san? I forget that it's your culture to do so…" The man simply smiled, "Ah, it's quite alright. You can call me Kazuya. You are quite informed about the Japanese culture, are you a tourist?"

"Well, I did some research when I was in high school, and those anime shows I've seen got me interested. But when I got into it, it wasn't just because of the anime anymore… You country is truly fascinating. I wished to pay a visit one day… But I don't think we're on the same topic; how did I get here? In this home of yours, I assume." I sipped my tea, quenching my thirst. As he sipped his cup, he began to retell me of how I got here…

Mishou Household, one day ago

It was sometime in the evening, a few minutes after school ended. Saki and Mai were walking towards the latter's house, they have math homework and the former needed help.

"Seriously, Saki, this is an easy one, yet you still need me?" "Please~ Mai! If I do this on my own I don't think I could finish it!"

Then, they heard someone calling them; they turned around, and saw the Kiryuu sisters. Despite their appearance as normal looking girls, they weren't exactly humans. Ages ago, when Saki and Mai reunited after five years, they were given the powers to become the Legendary Warriors, the Pretty Cures. They were tasked to protect and restore six holy springs that were devastated by a group known as Dark Fall.

As their battle went on, the leader, Akudaikan, tasked two of his subordinates, the Kiryuu Sisters, to infiltrate the schools the Cures attend. However, as they stayed longer, the siblings began to experience the goodness of humanity, and when he ordered the two to fight the Cures, the two disobeyed him and defected. Now, the four became best friends and went to school together.

"Saki, Mai!" Michiru waved at said pair, her sister followed suite "Do you have a moment? There's something we needed to talk about." The redhead's tone sounded serious. Her elder sister, Kaoru, then said, "We sense a great power coming into this world. We don't know whether it's evil or not, but it's powerful." Saki and Mai were surprised; they've defeated Dark Fall, surely no evil would return to threaten their homes?

"W-what do you mean? Don't tell me that there's a new bad guy coming here… I thought we're done with that." Saki slumped, she was really getting tired of new evils popping up most of the time. "When did you feel this power?" asked Mai. But before she get her answer, the skies suddenly darkens, thunderclouds amassing themselves.

Something moved inside Saki and Mai's pockets. A couple of cellphones moved by itself and popped up, revealing faces on each device. They were the fairies responsible for giving Mai and Saki the powers to transform into Pretty Cures; Flappy, who belonged to Saki, and Choppy, belonging to Mai.

"Michiru is right-lapi! And these are not ordinary clouds-lapi!"Flappy said, and Choppy continued, "I could sense great darkness from them-chopi. This could be dangerous-chopi~"

Suddenly, the skies agitated, lightning flashed to all directions. As it crackles, the girls saw a single lightning bolt striking down near their vicinity, it was pink in color. "Whoa! W-what the heck just happened?!" cried Saki, she was crouching down, hands covering her ears. Then, rain waters slowly drops from the clouds. "Girls, we could solve this mystery later, let's go to my home before we catch a cold!" Mai beckoned the other three towards her home. Fortunately, they've ran near the entrance just before the rain got worse. As Mai was about to shut the front door, she heard something crashed. It sounded like a motorcycle.

Worried about the rider, she quickly fetched an umbrella and checked outside. "Hello? Is someone there?" Meanwhile, a few meters behind her, a person in white looked on, with a sinister smile. The girl shivered, "Choppy, I think you're right; this rain feel somewhat unnatural…" She looked behind, and saw no one. Mai then saw said motorcycle, it had gold horns and mostly silver with few patches of red. The pipes between the back wheel had antennas. She never seen a motorcycle like this before, but she was more focused on its owner; where is the rider?

She then saw a person, lying down facing the street. "O-Oh my goodness! Mister, are you alright?" she ran towards the rider, shaking him. When she tried to move the man to see what he looked like, she screamed in terror.

Hearing her scream, Kazuya, who had just finished giving the other three towels, quickly grabbed another umbrella and come to her sister's aid. "Mai! What's wrong- Oh my God!"

"…So I was bleeding from my mouth… And my chest looked burned?"

"Yes, and for some reason the scar is shaped like a human palm… But your ribs aren't broken, fortunately."

Damn… This just gets weirder. First, a wormhole popped up in my room and for some reason took some my Kuuga toys, then Daguva becoming real, and now I'm sitting on a chair, talking to a fictional character from the Pretty Cure universe. Also, which part of the Precure multiverse am I? The one based on their original TV anime with no other Cures being mentioned, or All Stars? And if I remembered it right, the New Stage movie retconnned the first movie by having the full Suite Precure team fighting Fusion from the first All Stars movie, so I may be in that timeline… God, this is confusing!

"Rasyid, you okay?" asked Kazuya, seeing that I'm obviously not, I decided to be honest, "N-not really… First thing I was doing something else, and now I'm here… Man, what a crazy way to start 2013, eh?" I proceeded to sip my tea, hopefully this would make me better—

"2013? What are you talking about; it's the year 2011 now."

Welp, so much for my hopes… And the tea I just spat out.

"W-what the hell?! What do you mean "2011", isn't this the year 2013 now?" Kazuya was startled by my outburst, but he recovered quite quickly. He then picked up a desk calendar, and gave it to me. "Hey, I appreciate the hospitality, but this isn't funny! I know it's the year 2013, how could I be in 2011 unless I was in a coma?"

"I'm serious! We're in the year 2011 now, the date's January 5th if you're wondering—" "Bullshit! My granny died back in 28th December of 2012, I watched her get buried and stayed with my aunties until I got home in the fourth! I still remember that, how the f—"

Argh! My chest is hurting again! Dammit!

"Rasyid, hang in there! Don't force yourself like that!" Kazuya carried my arm over his shoulders, he dragged me back to the bed, "I'm telling you the truth, this is the year 2011."

Fan-Fucking-Tastic! Not only I'm a dimensional traveller, I got sent back two years into the past! What gives, did I accidentally bumped into the TARDIS while I was in the wormhole?

"Rasyid, I know that you're not in the mood for questions, but this is important; what did you experienced before we met?" Kazuya insisted. I know he's just trying to help, but… Should I really tell him?

Perhaps showing him would be easier than telling, Linto.

Maybe… But still—

Damned if you do, damned if you didn't… Is that phrase correct for this situation? You could feign ignorance, but I know how you detest lying…

Smartass… Alright, here goes nothing…

As difficult as it is for me, I've chosen to tell him everything I remembered; who I really am, what I do, how I actually got into this universe, everything. The man gave me his full attention, and nodding at everything I told him. He even told me that all those Tokusatsu shows I mentioned in my world existed here, better confirm that later, but thank God they exist here! May easier than making things up on the fly, especially since Kuuga's origins is obviously Japanese.

"That's… very interesting. I honestly don't know what to say…" Kazuya shake his head, having difficulties believing my story. "Look, I know it's damn weird, but it's the truth." I said to him, with my palm on my face.

"I'm sorry, the wormhole thing sounded plausible, I read it up… But did you really have Kamen Rider Kuuga's belt in your belly?"

… You know what? Fuck it, I'm summoning the belt!

I stood up, and concentrated on summoning the Arcle around my waist. I positioned my hands in front of my waist, closed my eyes and focused… I felt my waist getting warmer, and something was about to come out of it. "Hooooooo…"

"What are you… N-nani?!" I heard him backing away. When I opened my eyes to check, I quickly gazed upon my waist area… Whoa.

"It... It actually came out…" I tried yanking the belt, and inspecting it. No doubt about it, this is the Arcle belt around me. The belt is metallic, and behind me was the… thing that allowed the belt to stay attached (God, I needed to renew my vocabularies) and it was quite real too. The Amadam, inside the big glass thing of the belt, was somewhat humming. The color of the glass was black, but I think I could see a bit of orange from it…

Then, the belt slowly faded into my body… Quite funky, but I'll get used to it.

"Oh my God… That's definitely Kuuga's belt. You really were telling the truth!" I sighed; of course he would say that. Even if he wanted to believe me, with no proof, it's difficult. "Then… that means Daguva is real too? He's going to start a new game?!" "I'm guessing you've watched the show?" "Yes, I even have the DVDs in my room. But seriously, what are we going to do if he did? The entire country is in danger—"

"And nobody will believe you," I interjected, "Because the story of a fictional character becoming real and reenacting a plot from an eleven years old TV show just sounded damn absurd. Besides, I'm not even sure if Daguva will make his move now. He's in his Imperfect Form, but even if he's at his weakest, he's still a powerhouse. And I don't think the cops in this universe have the technologies in the TV show… Dammit."

What did I do to deserve this? I'm just a lazy-ass nerd who wants to live a peaceful life, but the Universe decided that I needed some action, and here I am! The people of this universe are already in danger thanks to the evils that threatened it, and the Pretty Cures are their only defense against them… Wait a minute!

"Uh, I know this might sound weird, but does this universe have its own superheroes?" I already knew the answer, but I have to make sure he doesn't suspect that this universe is fictional too… Wait, if I'm here, does this universe stop being fictional? Bah, I'll worry about that later.

"Hmm… Well, we do, actually. They call themselves the Pretty Cures. Believe it or not, there are more than twenty of them, and they're all girls… I heard they're quite young, a bunch of high school girls." Kazuya said as he sat and think.

Alright, so I'm in the All Stars timeline. But which one… "Are you sure there are more than twenty of them?"

"Yes, I heard them from my friends online. And my sister told me about them when I asked. Apparently, she saw them fighting at Yokohama back in '09 and at an amusement park last year. It's a good thing she and her friends weren't injured." Pfft, oh you have no idea how wrong you are…

Okay, next up is DX3 and then New Stage. Wonder if I'll meet that new girl from New Stage; that movie was sort of disappointing, I get the moral of being more responsible with your action, but it wasn't addressed very well. If I meet her, I'll give her a piece of my mind… Better respond to him, though.

"I see… But you said they're very young. It sounded like they were recruited into child soldiers or something." Oh, yes I went there. Look, I love gals who can kick ass, regardless of age. But the circumstances that made them into the fighter they are now…" Kids their age should have normal teenage life or something. But, I guess even in the most heavenly of places, lies a fireplace blazing with hellfire. Yin and Yang, Balance of the Universe, yadda-yadda. You know what I mean."

Wise words, Linto. Such is the reason of my existence; to preserve the peace of the Linto and their descendants. Fictional, I may be, but my purpose is clear.

Yeah, I get ya. I won't like it, but getting help from the Precures is of strategic importance; who know how many monsters I would face.

"Oh, by the way, remember the part where the Arcle – the belt – communicated with Godai in the show?" I asked Kazuya, he nodded at me, "Well, the Arcle I had talks to me. As in, its capable of speech."

"Incredible… I assume it knows what you know, too?" "Yeah, and he can hear you just fine." I know the Arcle's an it, but if something had a male or female voice, I think said object has the right to be called either he or she. "It's a good thing he speaks in English… Which reminds me, where are my shirt and jacket? I think I've had enough being topless." And I should save it for the ladies, with this sexy new bod, they're surely look at my direction now—

Dammit, brain, not now!

Mishou Household, Noon.

Apparently, my shirt was oversized. Since the supposed waist area was burned off, the shirt now fits me perfectly. I don't mind the new ripped area around my waist, though. And the denim jacket… I just realized that the one I wore had a rose behind it. Looks like I'll be channeling Shigeru Jo's confidence with this.

I'm sitting at the living room, Kazuya told me that his parents were out; the mother, Kanako, was lecturing in the local university about archeology. I wonder if she had any adventures in her prime. The father, Kouichirou, is on a trip to JAXA. Obviously something related to outer space. I wonder what he thinks when he sees Kamen Rider Fourze?

Speaking of which, it seems the Tokusatsu shows here are exactly the same as the one in my home dimension. Kazuya said it's Kamen Rider OOO and Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger that's airing. Told him of future toku shows, he seemed sort of interested, but I didn't elaborate; nobody likes spoilers. Well, good news is that I get to watch them on TV instead of a laptop monitor… Bad news is that I can't speak or read Japanese. Luckily, Kazuya had the time to teach me just that. He had all this books stacked up on the coffee table. Since I put my shirt on, I began to learn everything about the Japanese language, for some reason the knowledge flown like water into my brain. I haven't paid attention to any teaching unless it's absolutely fascinates me. Arcle, are you responsible for this?

'Tis unfortunate that a young Linto like you possessed a mind of an elderly. Are you sure you are twenty, or did you need a reminder from time to time?

Oh, hardy har-har. Fuck you, Riku.

…Riku? That name sounded familiar…

It's the name of the original Kuuga from the show, the first one before Godai Yuusuke. I think it's much better than simply Arcle.

Very well; from now on, I am Riku. My thanks, Rasyid.

Hah, so now you call me something other than Linto, Arcle.

I didn't felt like to call your name. And I suggest you pay attention to your tutor.

"…Sorry, Kaz. Me and the belt was talking. I just named him Riku, by the way, after the previous Kuuga before Godai." "Really? I guess it's for the best. He is somewhat sentient, right?"

"Say, since I've been reading for hours, how about we test my Japanese by watching the news? I remember that the media used some sort of complex Japanese to convey the news. May I?" I asked his permission to turn on his TV, he gave it, and I turned it on. "Alright… She's saying something about a prison break, right?" Kazuya nodded at me, seems I got it right. As we continue to watch the news, however, my joy of being finally able to speak and read Japanese was diminished.

"Holy shit… more than five hundred prisoners missing, including some of the guards?" I said, disbelieving at what I've seen. "Not only that," added Kazuya, "it happened in may prison from all over the country… Do you think it's… him?"

"It seems Daguva is making his move… But look; she said that most of the escapees were killed. How the hell did he do that, and it happened in different prisons too… Could he had help from someone? "

Wonderful, an all out prison break. And Daguva's obviously responsible for this. Kaz looked worried, "Hey, I'm sure the police could handle them. Just be glad that there's no prison around here that would cause panic to this town, okay?" "…Yeah, I guess your right. I wonder where they all went, though."

"Speaking of going, didn't you say there was a bike next to me when I was unconscious?"

The Garage

"Oh. My. God… Is this what I think it is?"

"There's no other bike like this, and even if there are, this thing's one of a kind."

"I can't believe it… It's the goddamn Trychaser 2000; the same one from the show!"

Sweet Merciful Allah, the freaking Trychaser 2000. Kamen Rider Kuuga's main bike! And it's all mine—Oh… hell no." Crap. I don't know how to ride a bike."

"Y-you serious?" "Very serious. I know, it's disgraceful." Goddammit… Like I said, I dunno how to commandeer any vehicle, and for a Kamen Rider who can't ride a bike? That's just embarrassing.

"And are you sure there wasn't another?" "No, we found you with this bike. And the Beatchaser was nowhere to be seen. Sorry." Oh, that's just Fan-Fucking-Tastic.

"Look, if I'm going to be stuck in this universe for a while, I should at least learn some new things. Riding this being one of them." I put the… thing that made the bike stood upright (Seriously, gotta add some new words to my vocabulary!) and wheeled the bike outside. "So, mind helping me out?"

"S-sure… Oh, here's a helmet. Don't worry, I got spares."

"Damn… good thing this parking area is spacious! I could've wrecked dozens of cones thanks to my riding!"

I barely in control of this thing, the speed was unbelievable! No wonder the cops in the show used this; it's useful for a chase… Then again, maybe that's why they have "Chasers" in their names.

You must be wondering how I activate it; the bike doesn't have any keyhole for ignition. Instead, it uses the right handle as the key. Basically, it's a humongous key, not only that, it has a code in the… cockpit of the bike. (I think you can guess that I still have much to learn in English)

I tried to input Godai's birthdate; Zero-Three-One-Eight. It didn't work. I tried many combinations, but fortunately, I found it, and hello, hello; what a coincidence! It's my birthdate!

Zero-Seven-One-Nine.

This is obviously not a coincidence. The forces that brought me must be responsible for this convenience. I am grateful, but that won't let me stop me from decking their face in.

So, here I am, at the empty parking lot. Hanging on for dear life as I tried to ride this thing. A few hours later, I finally got it. I was speeding round and around. I managed to pop a wheelie, and didn't fall! Booyah!

"Alright, way to go, Rasyid!" Kaz cheered at my success, and I raised a thumbs-up in response.

… There it is again. Riku, did you do this?

You wish to become like Godai, did you not? From what I've seen in your memories, he seemed to be a good example of a Linto.

Hmm…Can't argue with that. Guess I did somewhat wished to be more like him.

Then, I saw two girls walking on the street, one of them directed their gaze on me, and waved. "Onii-chan!"

Oh boy, it's them.

Kazuya waved back to his sister, but before he walked to her, I grabbed his hand, "Hey, I know you trust your sister and her friends… But don't tell them about what I told you, okay?" The son of the Mishou smiled and nod at me. "Don't worry, I won't tell."

I know its cliché, since withholding information from the protagonists usually leads to said information being told to them anyway. But I can't risk it. I heard her speaking to him, and I think she asked something about me. She looked at me, and I gave her a "hello" wave. She waved back, and returned to talking to Kaz. The man then beckoned to me. I turned off the bike and wheeled it as I came closer.

"Alright, since you're doing so well in speaking Japanese, how about introducing yourself to my sister and her friend?"

A/N: From here on out, everybody's speaking Japanese. Foreign languages, either English or Indonesian, will be in Italics. But that's for sentences, when the SI me speaks one word of English, it would be in Bold. For convenience's sake, I'm not using Japanese honorifics much. Except for some essentials ones, like addressing your elder sibling.

"Uh… Hello. My name is Rasyid Surataruna. Pleased to meet you." I bowed at the girl, since the Japanese always do that, why not?

"Oh, and my name is Mishou Mai. Pleased to meet you too, Surataruna-san." "Uh, I prefer to be called Rasyid, if you don't mind. I know it's part your culture and all, but calling me by family name seems like we're talking like businessmen, you know what I mean?"

"It's alright, Mai," said Kaz, "You can call him by his first name. I allowed him to call me Kazuya, so it's fair." The girl nodded, "Oh… Okay then, Rasyid-san."

Hmm… Ra Shi Do-san, eh? Man, my own name sounded somewhat cooler if said in Japanese.

"Awesome! I'm Hyuuga Saki, pleased to meet you, Rasyid-san! You can call me Saki." Said the brunette with a cheerful smile. My, I knew she's enthusiastic onscreen, but I could feel it emitting from her. "Sure thing, Saki! Let's be friends, eh?" I gave her the thumbs-up. She did so too.

Mai then paid attention to the bike next to me, and asked, "So… this is your bike? It looks very nice."

Nice. NICE?

"Mai, this bike isn't just "nice", it's awesome! Especially since this one is the same one ridden by Kamen Rider Kuuga, one of my all time favorite Tokusatsu heroes! This thing goes really fast! I was hanging on for dear life, but by God; I conquered the Trychaser 2000!"

…

"Oops, sorry about that. Guess the excitement of riding a vehicle associated to one of my heroes got the better of me." Man, that was awkward. "Ah, don't mind about it, Rasyid-san! I get carried away too most of the time whenever I talked about the things I like!" Saki basically broke the awkward moment. Bless you, girl. "I had no idea you love this bike so much, Rasyid-san… Gomen-ne?" "Hey, no need to apologize, Mai. I'm the one who supposed to do that." I scratched the back of my head nervously. Crap, why do these two have to be so cute?

Brain, not now.

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be at school?" I asked the two, "I didn't realize that schools in this country ended this early…"

"Actually, the school told us to go home. I heard the news…" Wowzers, that quick? Then again, that was obviously worthy of being national news. Everybody must've heard it. "They sent you home to keep you safe, right?" "Y-yes, they did."

"Saki, do you want us to escort you home?" asked Kazuya, "It would be terrible if anything happened to you or your friends." Her face was almost as red as a tomato. Oh yeah, she has a crush on him, didn't she? "A-actually, we're just about to buy some school supplies in the mall here! So we may be staying here longer." Kazuya smiled, making her even more flustered. "Alright, if you say so. Rasyid, do you mind keeping them company? I'm going back to see if the house is safe."

"Oh, it's okay. I'll stay with them. I'm getting hungry anyway…" I slapped my forehead, realizing something important. "Dammit! I don't have any money!"

"No money, eh? That could be problematic… Here, I'll lend you some of mine." Kaz reached deep into his pocket and gave me… Five Thousand Yens. Will this be enough, or is this too much? "Don't worry; you don't have to pay me back. Consider it a gift." "W-wow, Kaz… Thanks so much." "Hey, it's what friends do, right?" He pats my back, and left the scene, "Take care."

… He called me friend? Wowzers. Not everyday you find a guy this generous. Can't believe he's still single, though.

"So, what's your story?" The three of us are sitting in a café, Saki mostly eating lots of pastries. Mai was the one asking, "My brother told me that you somehow lost your memory. If you don't mind, can I ask you about it?"

Ah, the old "I have amnesia" plot. Alright, better think fast.

"Well… All I could remember is that I was touring the country on my own. I carry few with me since I want to travel light. When I arrived here, there was a storm, right?" Mai confirmed my question with a nod, "Okay, when the storm appeared… I think I was struck by lightning."

"W-whoa, really? How did you survive?" Saki was surprised at my recounting. She was now listening to me instead of chowing down. "I'm not really sure," I told them, "All I remember was a great flash of light, and then I woke up in your home, Mai. All covered in bandages. Thanks, by the way. I owe you my life."

"Y-You're welcome, but it's mostly my brother who did that, you should be thanking him." Mai answered with a smile… did I see a blush? Nah; must be my brain being a douche and tricking me.

Suddenly, the girls pocket moved by themselves, "Uh, excuse us. We better take this call." Said Mai as she and Saki stood up. They walked quite a distance. Must be Flappy and Choppy wanting to talk about something.

I suggest you prepare for whatever happens next.

Ah, my order just arrived! Mmm… Earl Grey Tea. Jolly good! I'm totally prepared to drink this! You should try this, it's good for you health—Wait, you're a belt. You can't even eat. Don't worry, I'm sure the nutrition this tea have will give you longevity, and you won't feel rusty about it.

Cheeky bastard.

"Flappy, what's wrong? I was enjoying my meal~" "No time for that-lapi. I sense something from that guy, I don't know what it is, but it felt dangerous-lapi!"

Flappy, the fairy representing the spirit of flowers warned the brunette about the odd looking man. "You know, Saki, I have a feeling that he's not telling us everything. I mean, I know you don't just talk about everything about yourself, but I feel he's hiding something…" Mai peeked around the corner, overlooking Rasyid's spot. Then, Choppy popped up to join the conversation. "I felt it too-chopi. I don't think it's evil, but it was powerful-chopi."

Suddenly, two ghost-like things popped out of nowhere. They were the spirits of the moon and the sky, Moop and Foop.

"He seems like a nice person-mupu~ I want to meet him!" said the moon spirit, floating about as he stated his want. "Me too-pupu~" Foop joined as well.

"No! You are not wandering off again, do you hear me?" Saki ordered the two to stay, but their youthfulness were usually troublesome for both girls. "Look, maybe we should see what happens next, don't judge a book by its cover, remember?" asked Mai to the others.

Saki sighed, "Alright, let's go back to him, he must be worried. Alright you two, go—Wait, where's Moop and Foop?"

"…"

"Hello! My name is Moop!" "And my name is Foop!"

Linto, are you seeing this?

Trying to believe it, too.

The fairies of the moon and the sky, respectively. Now, you may think that me being a guy, I would instantly don't give a crap. But since I was raised by watching Sailor Moon, I'm grown used to cutesy things. Being a Brony helps too.

But these two… Oh God they're cuter in person~

Dammit wait! Can't afford to go bananas here!

But thew sow adowwablle—

Not now brain!

"Uh… Hello?" I managed to utter a greeting, "I'm Rasyid… Nice to meet you."

The two looked at me with childlike curiosity. Aren't the other people around here seeing them? Bah, whatever. Then, I saw the girls walking back, they look very panicky. I decided to put on my best poker face, and greet them, "Hey girls, back so soon? That was a long phone call you have…"

"Um, well you know us girls! We kept on babbling so much we lost track of time!" Saki laughed awkwardly.

"So much that I have to conjure imaginary friends just to keep me company! I mean, are you seeing these two?" I pointed to Foop and Moop, they happily flying around my head. "I swear, my mind made the most silliest of things! I mean, ghost-like entities? As a guy, I should be imagining sports or video games, but here I am, imagining cute ghost thingies." Saki continued to laugh at my comments… But not Mai. She seemed rather suspicious. The Wiki said she's basically an Agatha Christie, observing oddities from people and noticing it. I simply sipped my Earl Grey, and continued as nothing happened. "So, what were you going to ask me, Mai?" Yikes, Mai got quite the glare. Saki sat down and nervously continued to eat her pastries.

But before she even uttered a word, I heard a crowd screaming in terror, I looked to my right to see dozens of them running away from something. "Run! There's a spider monster on the loose! Run before he gets you!"

Shit, this spider monster better not the one I think it is…

"That doesn't sound good… Girls call the police, I'll see what's going on!" I ran ahead of them, dashing past the crowd. I guess Mai will suspect me even more, but I wanted to tell them anyway.

As the crowd grew thinner, I reached a place that looks like the mall's centerpiece. I looked up to see a giant nest of web hanging above. Then, I saw cocoons on them. Weird, I thought the Grongi just kills them. Guess they're not—

Behind us!

I instinctively dived forwards, did a roll and took a fighting stance at whatever's behind me… Oh my God.

"The Spider Grongi… No way." Yes, this is the very first monster that Kuuga fought in the show, and guess what; the one I'm facing looked exactly like him. I never bothered remembering their names, since they're hard to pronounce and to remember, so I usually call them by what kind of creature they are. Gah, look at him! With his spider limbs on his head and a spider's mouth with no sign of a humanoid lips… Yup, he's hella ugly. And I'm scared shitless.

He started to talk. Gah, again with the Grongi tongue! One of these days, I should try deciphering it so I can understand and maybe speak it! Tsukasa did it, the actors who played the Grongis did it, why can't I?

Pay attention, Linto!

Gargh! He got my neck— SHIT!

The girls struggled against the human tidal wave as they tried to keep up with Rasyid. He was surprisingly fast.

"Jeez, what's the big idea, running off like that? I thought he's going to watch over us." Saki complained, Mai grabbed her friend by the wrist and dragged her. "It doesn't matter. I think he knows more than we were let on. Come on!"

The girls managed to pass the crowd, and walked through the center of the mall. The were surprised by the amount of webbing surrounding it. "Eeww~ What's with all the webbing! It's so darn thick!" Saki pulled one of the webs, only for it to stay intact.

Flappy and Choppy were in their fairy forms, they were floating about, looking for an opening. Choppy saw cocoons hung high above, she yelled at the girls of the hostages. "Oh no… We have to get in there, Mai!"

Suddenly, they heard grunts of pain. And fist colliding with flesh. "Argh, dammit; Hold still!"

The girls saw Rasyid, he was battered and bruised, with cuts on his arms. But the man was holding the monster back.

"Rasyid-san! What are you doing?!" cried Saki, "Get away form that thing!"

"Hey, that's my line, Saki! I'm keeping this creep distracted so the others can get away." He dodged a swipe, and countered the spider with an uppercut, "You two should get to safety!" The spider suddenly kicked his guts, sending the man a few meters away. He was groaning in pain "C-Come on! You think I'll go down that easily—" He was cut off as the spider strangled his neck, it seemed to be speaking to him, but the language it used were unknown to the girls.

"Mai, let's transform!" Saki ordered her friend, with Flappy already transformed into his mobile device form on her right hand. Mai nodded, and Choppy in her mobile device form in the girl's left hand. The two held each other's free hand, and began their transformation They both cried out these words:

"Dual Spiritual Power!"

Pain… So much pain…

Shit, this guy really is tough! And to think he was the first boss I fight!

Linto, why do you insist on fighting him in your current form? You will perish unless—

Hold yer horses, Riku. My plan is about to proceed into its next phase.

Plan?

Then, I saw bright light flashing outside the web dome. It was so intense, parts of the dome began to break apart. Then, the light faded as it flew near me and the Grongi… This is it. "You're fucked now, ugly."

"The Shining Golden Flower; Cure Bloom!"

"The Radiant Silver Wing; Cure Egret!"

"Because right now…"

"We are Pretty Cures!"

"Those who harm the innocents!"

"Stop your cruel behaviors, at once!"

"Those two will kick your ass."

No worries, they'll fight in the next chapter. And the SI me shall transform into Kuuga for the first time!

And since he was bonded with he Arcle for the first time, he becomes Kuuga Growing Form. Remember, the Kuuga I'm using is based on the various versions of the 13th volume Super Imaginative Chogokin Kuuga. Because he looks more badass.

Btw sometimes I like to think up and do lulzy things for the lulz, the SI me sort of trolling the two being one of them. I don't usually do that in real life (with very few understanding my humor, what's the point?)

In case of some of you not knowing, wall of text is my forte. I'm telling you a damn good story so you better appreciate me sacrificing my sleeping hours and fingers just to type a damn good story! lmao

Since you're all so nice to me, giving this story about 240+views, I should repay you all by giving you all hints:

- Harem

- Rage

- SI Me doing fictional things, be they action or attacks, and making it happen for real in the story (I've been playing "Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage" a LOT to prepare myself for KR2. Omae wa mo shindeiru.)

- What if Daguva isn't the only one with the rank N?

I'm sure you're all smart enough to figure this out, so in the mean time, Read, Review, Rejoice! :D
