Realm PC-10b
Mirai, Riko, and Kotoha (and Mofurun) decided to spend their summer vacation in the Magic World, and so Theta Team accompanied them. As the whole group (including Kira in her human holo-magic disguise) entered the magic academy's grounds, they were surprised to see a whole lot of students all around.
"They're all getting things ready for the Summer Festival" Riko explained. "Even though it's always Spring here at the academy…"
After Haa-chan used her magic to make herself a uniform to match Mirai & Riko's, Theta's group headed off to find the Headmaster while the Cure Trio & Mofurun met up with their friends here Jun, Emily, & Kei. Meeting up with the Headmaster in his office, Theta Team spent a little while giving the man some detailed explanations and answering some questions. The Cure group soon showed up as well, and put their substantial collection of Linkle Stones on display, the Emerald Stone in the middle.
"We had assumed that the 'light of life' mentioned in the divination was the Emerald Linkle Stone…" the Headmaster said. "But I suppose the prophecy was just too vague to be sure of anything."
Everyone went their separate ways to tour the campus some more. About an hour later, Mirai found the Headmaster by the academy's old Wand Tree, and the two of them reminisced about how much had happened, while Mirai vowed that she and her friends would be together forever, no matter what.
Then, however, a mysterious new figure appeared before them, a big fat-looking red-skinned genie with a crafty grin. Introducing himself as Labut, the evil genie casually conjured a dome-barrier of Darkness over the area, and then used a balloon and a wolf-statue to summon a huge and powerful 'Don-Yokubal'. Labut explained that he served a being called Deusmast, a malevolent entity who represented "unending chaos" and sought to cover the world in chaotic darkness.
Separated from Riko, Mirai couldn't transform, and the barrier kept Riko, Mofurun, & Kotoha from getting in. However, when Erika & Kira showed up, the Emerald Linkle Stone reacted to Erika's Keyblade, wreathing it in bright green light and allowing her to cut a gash in the barrier, letting the quintet slip through.
As Cures Miracle, Magical, & Felice transformed, the Don-Yokubal fired a wave of balloon-shaped missiles, and Kira formed a shimmering magenta-hued psionic barrier that withstood the blasts. She then fired a Moonblast at the monster, while swung her Keyblade to release a slicing wave of Light. Both attacks hit home, and the Don-Yokubal flinched and snarled, but it didn't seem to have taken too much damage, and it responded by charging at the duo so fast that Kira had to use Teleport to get herself & Erika out of the way.
The three Cures attacked together, landing a few blows but not doing major damage, and were then pushed back by a swing of the Don-Yokubal's massive paw. The beast then fired a huge barrage of missiles which then split into two, half of them going for Cure Felice and the other half for Miracle & Magical. Kira psychically grabbed hold of Cure Felice and pulled her to safety, while Erika threw her Keyblade while rushing in to grab Miracle & Magical, and then pulled a Reverse Recall teleport to get them to safety.
"You really should give up" Labut remarked. "I'm gonna use my mugic [muhou, claimed by Labut to be his power, as opposed to magic/mahou] to make this world ready for Deusmast's revival. Why don't you just let it happen? I'm sure you'll have fun… in the few minutes you'll still be alive during it, that is."
"We won't let that happen!" Cure Miracle stood strong. "I already swore that we won't have to go through anymore sad goodbyes… We're all going to get out of this mess alive and together, and that means we're going to beat you!"
Strengthened by Mirai's words, Cures Magical & Felice stood by her, and all three girls' bodies were wreathed in soft, shimmering auras of magical power. The Don-Yokubal fired a focused barrage of explosive projectiles at them, but Felice used the Pink Tourmaline Linkle Stone to form a shield that easily withstood the hits. Cure Miracle and Erika rushed in to attack, hitting the Don-Yokubal with physical blows and Keyblade strikes, actually pushing the monster back, to Labut's surprise.
Cures Felice & Magical moved in next, attacking as one, synchronizing their strikes, aiming at the Don-Yokubal's joints to noticeable effect. As the beast staggered, it launched a large barrage of shots, but then the Headmaster leapt in with staff drawn, forming a barrier of Light that protected him and the girls from the attack. Kira teleported in above the Don-Yokubal, her right hand slamming a Rasengan down into the top of the monster's head and making it faceplant into the ground; Erika had already taught her it, though she wasn't quite sure if it could ever be used in an official Pokémon battle… With the beast wounded, the Cure Trio made the final blow, hitting the monster with Diamond Eternal and Emerald Reincarnation to purify and destroy it.
"Hmph" Labut crossed his arms as he floated overhead. "So you folk are even stronger than I thought, huh… Well, whatever; you'll lose in the end, and Deusmast shall be revived."
"We'll keep standing against and fighting you," Cure Magical glared up at him, "over and over until you're down and out!"
The djinn smirked. "Nope. 'Cause the next time we meet, I'll crush you. See ya."
He vanished, and the dark barrier came down, the skies overhead returning to normal.
"Cassie and I will have to do some study," the Headmaster said, "see if we can find anything about this 'Deusmast'…"
"And w-what are the chances this guy is Deusmast's o-only underling? We might have other n-new foes soon, too…"
"However many show up," Cure Felice replied, "they won't beat us."
-Break-
As the day of the Summer Festival arrived, the Cure Trio (& Mofurun) met up with Jun, Kei, & Emily to enjoy the festival activities, and learned that those girls were in charge of launching the magic-based fireworks this year. However, trouble brewed as it was discovered that the magic flowers used for this had all mysteriously wilted. The old man who kept track of various local legends spoke of a rumored different type of flower that could also make fireworks, though he didn't know where they could be found.
Mirai, Kotoha, and Emily headed out into the forest to search for clues, while Riko, Jun, & Kei dove into the school's library for any relevant information. The search team found their way to a cave in the forest, and within was a hidden field of numerous different flowers, growing in sunlight that filtered through a hole in the cave ceiling. They received a letter from the research team, showing what the flower looked like… but the image was in black & white, and there were three different flowers with the shape & pattern it showed, and the two wrong choices had rather detrimental effects if used. Guided by something deep inside her, Haa-chan made a choice, picking several of her chosen flower, and the trio hurried back as the Sun began to set.
As they arrived back at the academy grounds, however, Labut appeared and created a Don-Yokubal, though fortunately he also summoned a cloud bank that enabled Timmy & Mariko to join Cures Miracle, Magical, and Felice in the air to fight against the monster. The Don-Yokubal, looking like a black-masked rabbit wielding a bow & arrows, was able to fly under its own power due to the dark magic (or 'mugic', as Labut called it) it was composed of, and it packed quite a punch, bashing the five heroes around.
However, the good guys quickly rallied, adjusting to the Don-Yokubal's patterns of attack. Sapphire Miracle threw one of the monster's arrows back at it, hitting it in the mask-face and giving Mariko the chance to blast the enemy's bow out of its hands, removing its ranged-attack capability. Timmy charged his short-sword with Lightning chakra, using it to slice away the Don-Yokubal's binding ring as it came at him, and then flew in as fast as he could (which wasn't much compared to, say, the Z-Fighters, but every flyer starts somewhere) and started slashing, dealing a few blows before being batted away, and firing a Raijū Tsuiga as a parting shot that shocked and stunned it, allowing Sapphira Magical and Felice to pummel it some more.
Annoyed, Labut fired a spiraling blast of dark magic at the group. Mariko flapped her vector-wings hard and fast, producing a focused gust of Wind energy that destabilized and weakened the attack, enough that an energy blast dispelled it the rest of the way. Taking advantage of their opening, the three Cures combined their attacks to defeat and destroy the Don-Yokubal, after which Labut retreated.
In the aftermath, Haa-chan proved to have picked correctly, and the six students set off a fantastic fireworks display for the whole region to enjoy.
The next day, the three Cures and Mofurun experienced a very odd Cinderella-themed shared dream… and when they woke up the next morning, the Rainbow Carriage that had appeared in the dream was next to them in real life, a beautiful artifact of tremendous sleeping Light power. They took it to the Headmaster, and while everyone was examining it, it reacted to Mofurun and projected a mysterious and complex magic rune-circle. The Headmaster decided to leave it in the girls' care for now, asking them to let him know if anything happened with it.
On the last day before they had to leave and return to Earth / the 'Non-Magic World', Mirai, Riko, Haa-chan, & Mofurun got roped into helping Jun, Kei, & Emily with their independent-study homework. Unfortunately, they were interrupted by Labut, who trapped the Cure team in a sizable barrier-field and then not only made a Don-Yokubal to attack the girls, but joined in the fight himself as well. And unnoticed by the heroines, two amorphous shadowy figures floated high up by the dome's ceiling, watching the whole affair.
The Don-Yokubal used its paintbrush-club to start bashing Cure Felice around, and when Ruby Miracle & Ruby Magical tried to rush to her defense, Labut blindsided them and blasted them into the dirt. When pressed, he spoke of how the 'mugic' he and his fellows wielded had capabilities beyond the 'magic' the heroines used, and came to them naturally and by instinct rather than having to be trained & studied, meaning that 'studying magic is a waste of effort'.
However, Ruby Miracle refuted him, declaring how much fun magic was, and how much effort her friends had put into it, couldn't possibly be meaningless. The Rainbow Carriage then glowed, giving her the strength to repulse Labut's incoming blow and shove him back. The two girls then blasted him with Ruby Passionale, but the djinn was able to break free of the attack's effect. The Don-Yokubal, however, couldn't overcome Cure Felice's Emerald Reincarnation, and with his monster gone Labut withdrew… for now.
Afterwards, that evening, Theta Team and the Cure group bade goodbye to the Magic World for now, getting on-board the 'Snailiner' that would take them back to Earth. Theta Team rode aboard the first of the train's two cars, while Mirai, Riko, Felice, & Mofurun rode in the second. Unfortunately, as the train was riding through the space between Worlds, Labut sprung his trap, separating the Cures' carriage and leaving it stranded in the Void. He then assumed a gigantic, musclebound form and started effortlessly thrashing the Cures, scattering them across the inter-World space.
In the midst of the lonesome darkness, however, Cure Miracle managed to rekindle her light of hope, and this gave Magical & Felice the strength they needed to pick themselves up and find their way to her, followed by Mofurun with the Rainbow Carriage. The girls' feelings created a new Linkle Stone, Alexandrite, and with it they transformed into new 'super modes' and then used the Carriage to unleash a new ultimate finisher: Extreme Rainbow. Labut was overcome and vanquished, seemingly destroyed, and the train car restored just as the rescue Snailiner came along to pick the girls up and get them to Earth, where Theta had been waiting with panicked worry and were now shocked to learn what had happened.
Also, the girls had come accompanied by a strange group of cutesy little spirits, their power and purpose unknown. For now, all they could do was accommodate these strange little spirits; they seemed friendly enough…
As the next semester at Mirai & Riko's middle school started up, Kotoha joined in as another new transfer student, enjoying herself quite a bit. Some of the odd little spirits followed as well, though thankfully they were smart enough to stay out of the Mundanes' sight without being told to. Haa-chan managed to make friends with Souta, a boy who was captain of the school Soccer Club, helping him get out of a little funk he was in and get the rest of the club to enjoy their practice, and learning a couple tricks from him in return.
The next day, as the Cure girls and Anya waited in the bleachers for an upcoming match between the school team and another's, a new enemy appeared: Shakince, a tengu-themed servant of Deusmast. He used a goal net and a border cone to create a Don-Yokubal, and the Cures transformed to fight it, Mirai & Riko using their Topaz Forms. The monster attacked by firing soccer ball-sized projectiles which expanded into nets upon hitting their targets, managing to ensnare Topaz Miracle. Anya used her fire-chakrams to shred the net-balls aimed at her, while Topaz Magical used her shape-shifting magic orbs to catch and sever the one that almost caught her and then run over to cut her teammate free.
The Don-Yokubal went to charge at Topaz Magical, but when Cure Felice kicked a stray soccer ball at it, it reflexively abandoned its attack and used its extendable arms to block the ball from hitting its net-face. This gave Felice an idea, and she led the girls in a counterattack, getting Miracle & Magical to exploit the monster's habits to make it render itself wide-open to a soccer ball-pattern magical blast kicked by Felice that nailed it in the face, blasting it back and leaving it vulnerable to a Topaz Esperanza finisher. Scowling, Shakince made his withdrawal. In addition, after the battle one of the cute little sprites flew into and joined with the Rainbow Carriage…
The girls then got a surprise visitor, sent by the Headmaster: Riko's father Rian, a famed expert archeologist with plenty of experience investigating legends and artifacts at the Headmaster's behest, and already in-the-know regarding the Pretty Cures and the DDF team. He and the girls went over what they had to work with so far, but Riko grew increasingly frustrated and barely-concealed upset that her long-busy father was only here for work and seemed to be focused entirely on the mission before them rather than his daughter. This culminated in her storming off and running while they were all at the park, with Mirai giving chase to try and smooth things over.
Right after Mirai and Haa-chan managed to pull some damage control off, however, another new servant of Deusmast emerged: Benigyo, a woman who looked like a mix between a raijin and an oni. After introducing herself, she used the park's fountain and some fallen leaves to create a rather large and agile Don-Yokubal, flying through the air in pursuit of the girls. Thankfully, they were soon joined by Rian, Kotoha, Mofurun, Erio, & Caro. The original twosome assumed their Sapphire Forms, they and Cure Felice leading the charge, while Erio and Caro wielded spear and sword in support, firing fire blasts and lightning bolts in an attempt to box the Don-Yokubal in. The two Theta members sent out Pokémon to help, Mareep firing Thunder Shocks at the Don-Yokubal while Gible leapt up and struck it with Dual Chops whenever it passed overhead.
The Don-Yokubal rapid-fired water blasts at the team, and one shot managed to catch Sapphire Magical, knocking her to the ground. As she tried to regain herself and get back up, the monster fired another barrage at her, but then her father stepped into its path and conjured a Flame Shield, which proved strong enough to overcome the type advantage and flash-evaporate several of the watery projectiles. Caro moved in to help just as his shield began to fail, her pink Rune Shield tanking the remaining shots, while Friedrich and Gible launched small fireballs and Dragon Rage bursts that slammed into the side of the monster's head, stunning it.
Rian joined the fray properly, firing attack spells at the Don-Yokubal, helping everyone keep the monster surrounded and off-balance. Finally, Erio and his Mareep hit it with a Dios Tukos and an Electro Ball, stunning and weakening it, and then the Cure Trio used Extreme Rainbow to vanquish the monster. With a sneer, Benigyo made her escape for now. In the aftermath, Riko and her father ended up having a proper talk, the man telling of how he never stopped worrying about her, how he was doing this research and travel to find a way for her & her friends to beat the prophesized calamity and win the fight against the Darkness. He made his departure and bade farewell, promising to bring his wife along next time. And, as Mirai, Haa-chan, Mofurun, and (via Cassie) the Headmaster watched this time, another of the little sprites joined with the Rainbow Carriage.
Soon after, the girls' friend Mayumi experienced her 'first love', developing a crush on a boy from another school. Mirai, Riko, Kotoha, and soon Kana (the girls' friend who kept catching sight of the local magical shenanigans and was thus committed to hunting the truth) all joined in to help her work up the courage to confess. Unfortunately, when she finally tried, the boy's girlfriend showed up, leading to a heartbroken Mayumi tearing the love-letter she'd worked so hard on to shreds (in full view of the chagrined couple) and running off, to be caught and comforted by Kana.
When the Cure Trio tried to go after Mayumi & Kana to buy some snacks to help cheer them up, Shakince appeared, and when they tried to blow them off to go help their friends, he forced them to stay by siccing a Don-Yokubal on them. However, this time Theta Team's members didn't even get the chance to show up and join in before the Ruby Cures & Felice, driven by their passion, managed to defeat and destroy the monster, sending Shakince away. Afterward, Riko gave both girls a treat by dropping some snacks for them and letting herself be seen (though not close enough to identify her) flying away on her broom, leaving Kana elated and Mayumi happily shocked & glad for her friend.
As the elections for student president approached, Riko decided to run against Yuuto, a quiet and studious classmate who was the only other one running for the position. As the campaign passed, however, Riko came to realize that she didn't really know what to do with her position, and she also saw how much Yuuto was invested in making the school a better, friendlier place. When Benigyo threw a Don-Yokubal at the girls, the monster's punishing gusts of wind leaving them near-helpless and threatening to level the school, Laicixa made her appearance just in time, using Voulge's Haken-Saber form to hack off one of the Yokubal's giant fans, letting the girls get free. Fueled by her conviction on what she knew she must do, Diamond-form Cure Magical led the counterattack, turning the tables on the monster and helping to vanquish it. In the aftermath, she conceded the election, letting Yuuto become student president, a job she knew he'd do great at.
The girls and Mofurun soon had a strange new visitor: a little bee-fairy named Chikurun. He made friends with them after some initial friction, getting along especially well with Mofurun. The next day, Chikurun asked Mofurun if she knew of anywhere he could find good honey, and she led him to a field of cosmos flowers on the edge of town. While they were there, however, they were ambushed by Oruba, another servant of Deusmast with the form of a scholarly young man. He had determined that Mofurun was somehow important to the MahouTsukai Pretty Cures' powers, and intended to capture and 'study' the magic teddy-bear.
The cavalry arrived in the nick of time, however, the three Cure girls joined by Timmy & Anya. Oruba formed and unleashed a Don-Yokubal, while Timmy sent out his Pokémon to help with fire-support, Chimchar combining fire attacks with Anya while Timmy and his Voltorb blasted the monster with electrical attacks, keeping the thing from pinning the Cures down. During the battle, one of the Don-Yokubal's missiles almost hit Chikurun, but the Cures flew in and redirected it, flinging the projectile right back at the monster. Timmy's Voltorb then used Eerie Impulse to weaken the dark monster's long-range attacks while his Chimchar inflicted it with a Burn to weaken its physical strikes as well, giving the heroes an easier time dealing with the thing as they wore it down, finally ending the battle with a Sapphire Smartish / Emerald Reincarnation combo.
The Headmaster went missing again, and Caro & Friedrich accompanied the Cure Trio plus Mofurun & Chikurun over to the Magic World, tracking him down to an always-summer island where the sun-kissed oranges that were used to make Frozen Mandarins grew. Apparently, they weren't growing quite as well or as often as they should be, and he'd come to try and figure out why. After harvesting a few baskets-full of them, they traveled to the frozen island, where the the oranges could be frozen by "the sigh of an Ice Dragon". There were plenty of Ice Dragons around, though none of them would release the ice-breath sigh, despite the various ways the hero group tried to get them to.
Before they could solve the issue, though, Benigyo appeared and attacked with a Don-Yokubal made from an empty basket and some icicles. Mirai was busy handling one of the Ice Dragons, but as Cure Felice got ready to fight below, Caro pitched in to help, unsealing Friedrich and sending out her Charmander as well. The Alzusian Dragon led the charge, using fangs & claws as he grappled with the Don-Yokubal, though it kept twisting out of the way of his attempts to blast it with flames. The monster managed to fire a barrage of ice spears at Riko and the Headmaster, but Caro formed a Round Shield wreathed in White Dragonfire that flash-melted the icy projectiles on contact, protecting them. A few more had Chikurun in the crossfire, but Caro's Charmander used Metal Claws to slice the ice spears out of the air, saving the little bee-fairy.
Mirai arrived, she and Riko assuming their Ruby Forms and going on the offensive with Felice & Caro. One of the Ice Dragons joined in to help, releasing a wave of freezing wind that froze the Don-Yokubal's ice-spear launcher shut, clogging it with snow. This eased the pressure on the heroes, who quickly began pushing the monster back, bolstered by Ruby Miracle's vow to let their new little fairy friend get to taste a Frozen Mandarin. Finally, Caro ensnared it with Alchemic Chain, letting the Cures destroy it with a group finisher. Annoyed at yet another loss, Benigyo teleported out. In the aftermath, they all shared a couple of Frozen Mandarins, with Chikurun finding them even tastier than he expected.
-X-
As the three Cure girls and Mofurun & Chikurun headed back to the village surrounding the magic academy, wanting to walk around a little before heading back to Earth, they ran into some familiar faces at the local park: Jun, Kei, Emily, and Riko's older sister Liz.
"What are you guys doin' here?" Jun asked.
"The Headmaster went missing," Mirai replied, "and the Vice-Headmaster asked us to help find him. He was over on the island where the orange used for Frozen Mandarins grow. It's a bit of a story…"
"What about you girls?" Kotoha asked.
"Just hanging out" Kei replied. "We ran into Liz-sensei about five minutes ago, and she said she wanted to stick with us a bit."
"Giving them some company and making sure they stay out of trouble" the older girl cheerfully admitted.
"Wanna hang with us for a bit?" Jun asked the Cure Trio.
For the next 10 minutes or so, the girls (and Chikurun) hung out together, just making small-talk and looking at things. As they prepared to leave the park and go their separate ways, however, the sky overhead suddenly darkened, and they could sense Darkness in the air. Then, a shadow came over them, and they looked up to see Shakince standing atop a tree, arms folded. He snapped his fingers, and a Dark Barrier formed around this part of the park.
"Now then," he said, "let's not beat around the bush. Come forth, Don-Yokubal!"
A tree and a park bench went into the creation of a Don-Yokubal, the monster calling out as it loomed over the group of mages.
"Come on now, girls. Transform so I can defeat you properly. Or don't, I don't care that much."
Mirai, Riko, and Kotoha tensed up, backing up a little, while the frightened girls and Riko's older sister looked confused.
"W-What is he talking about?" Emily asked.
"Oh?" Shakince arched an eyebrow. "Could it be you've been hiding it from your friends? Alright, then; if you won't transform in front of bystanders, putting you down will be much easier."
The Don-Yokubal swung a leafy branch-arm down at the group, and Liz immediately conjured a Barrier spell to protect them. She winced and stumbled back as the hit made her barrier warp and crack, nearly shattering. The next blow shattered the shield completely and sent the whole group tumbling, slamming against the edge of the barrier. Jun, Kei, & Emily groaned as they tried to help each other up, while Liz tried to take a protective position in front of the group.
Mirai looked over at Riko & Kotoha, and Riko let out a little sigh and nodded. The trio stepped forward, to the surprise of the other four, and Riko looked backward at them.
"Sorry for keeping a pretty big secret from you guys for a while…"
Then, the trio were enveloped in spiraling lights, which then dispersed to reveal their transformed states. Jun, Emily, Kei, and Liz were overcome with shock as the sight before them sank in:
"M… Mirai and Riko and… "and Haa-chan are…" "the legendary mages…" MahouTsukai… PreCure…?"
The Don-Yokubal prepared to swing its branch-arm as a club again, but then a Fūton: Shinkūha came in from the side and sliced off most of its branches, as Mariko joined the fray; she'd gotten through the barrier by using a vector-drill to tunnel her way under it, as evidenced by the hole in the earth behind her. She sent out her Starly and her Pichu to pitch in, though the next blow came from Cure Miracle as she took advantage of the Don-Yokubal's distraction to punt it halfway across the battlefield.
The Don-Yokubal roared as it swung its other branch-arm, releasing a barrage of razor-sharp leaves at the girls. Mariko used her vectors to deflect each and every one of them, and then the Cures went on the attack, striking with a barrage of blows from three different directions at once. The monster growled as it swung its limbs, trying to bat them away, and was then zapped by a Thunder Wave from Mariko's Pichu, hindering and slowing its movements.
Mariko blasted the Don-Yokubal with Fūton: Daitoppa, battering the monster and keeping it off-balance. Her Starly then hit it in the face with a Wing Attack, stunning it further, letting Cure Felice hit it with a Linkle Stone Peridot blast. Pichu hit it with a Thunder Shock when it tried to retaliate, damaging it further, and Miracle & Magical finally ended the fight with a Diamond Eternal. Letting out a frustrated grunt, Shakince retreated, the dark barrier coming down.
Before anyone could say or do anything else, Mariko's Pichu was enveloped in glowing white light, her little body becoming a mass of light that shifted and grew. When the transformation ended and the light faded, the newly-evolved Pikachu looked herself over, heart-shaped tail-tip giving a twitch, and then she turned to look at her Trainer with a big smile. Mariko squeed as her Pikachu leapt into her arms, hugging her close. Meanwhile, the three Cures de-transformed and headed over to their friends and Liz, and the older girl immediately pulled Riko into a tight hug.
"I still can't believe it…" she said. "My baby sister is one of the legendary warriors…"
"I kept it hidden because I was embarrassed…" Riko admitted. "One of the legendary heroines being the girl who was totally inept at practical magic? That's just…"
"Does… Does anyone else know?" Kei asked.
"The Headmaster knows" Mirai replied. "I don't know if he's told the Vice-Headmaster or not. And because Riko's father is the Headmaster's main guy for ferreting out ancient secrets and relics and legends and whatnot, the Headmaster brought him into the loop as well. Apparently they're tracking information regarding our current enemies and some prophesized 'great calamity'…"
"And as for me and my friends," Mariko came up, still holding her Pikachu while Starly sat on her head, "that's a whole other story… Might take a bit of time to explain."
"Today's a holiday" Jun replied. "We're all ears."
-CHAPTER END-
And we cap off the latest round of adventures with a brand-new battle that never happened in the original canon, complete with people whose canon selves were kept in the dark the whole way finding out here. Next time, how might Deusmast's servants seek to bring an end to the PreCure?
