It was over.

For now, that is.

Back in the past timeline, 14th Legion Clone Troopers, armed with carbines set to stun, counting thirty to fifty of the soldiers, were present throughout the school field, transporting all of the captured Foot Ninjas through a few portals that were conjured throughout the field. As part of the official protocols concerning unwanted temporal interferences, the Scientific Department (ScD) of the SCP Foundation is now about to initiate a process known as the Retcon Precision Phase. It speaks of an advanced technological model wherein whose function is to put specific moments in the timeline being rewound back to what has already been the official established history.

Many of the students and teachers of the academy were put on stop-time as they all look to be not moving or are completely still. No eyes blinking, no movement of the body, no reaction, nothing. And the same process can be said for the rest of their environment. Everything was in stop-time.

The only ones who were currently moving were the Clone Troopers transporting the Foot Clan to the portals, many of the prisoners have already been sent to the other side and are about to finish things up. And then there was Misaki Ayuzawa and Doctor Traum who were sitting on a bench nearby where George Kurai was resting for a bit. Hagumi Kurai, sitting right next to Zi-O from the left was gently tending George's wounds with the help of a couple of white medical bandages that were provided by one Clone Trooper Medic who was present on the other side, bandaging the chest that had a few slashes. From his side, he had been carrying a medical bag full of supplies from his back and was now placed on the ground in order to get the bandages.

"There you go, general, all good as new," the Clone Trooper Medic said respectfully. "I know that you can heal fast due in part to your healing factor, but as your personal medical doctor, I'd recommend that you would need some rest."

"The advice is appreciated, thank you, doctor," George politely thanked the medic for the advice.

The medic nodded respectfully as he closes the bag and wore it to his back, taking his carbine and walking away, leaving Hagumi to take care of him as she gently held his right hand. Her face was carrying a very sad expression as she tends to the wound of her young alternate father.

Aside from the mentioned individuals, the past versions of Hana Nono, Hariham Harry, and Hugtan were specifically the only ones who aren't frozen in time. While Past Hana was somewhere nearby George's location, only a few steps away with both hands on her back, Past Harry, now turning into human form, was carrying Hugtan gently. And he was rather quite concerned and a little suspicious, rightly and understandably so considering the situation.

"Hugyu..." Hugtan muttered softly, sporting a worried expression.

"Hey..." Past Harry was looking at his future self who was just nearby.

"Hm?" Harry looks slightly at his past self. From what he could tell, there were traces of concern and a little suspicion that were found on his frowning face. And he can definitely understand these types of feelings too well considering that it wasn't often that your worst enemy is currently your greatest ally for today. And one refers to the young George Kurai who had turned into a Kamen Rider.

"There's something that's been bothering me lately. Why...?" Past Harry muttered, bewildered.

"He's not him," Harry clarified with a simple smile, looking at the young George with sympathy. "He may be his younger self, but he's definitely not him, that's for sure, at least from what I can tell, coming from the same time period as Hana-chan."

"And that's the thing that bothers me..." Past Harry said, concerned. "I noticed the way you called the girl that I...we had just first met very familiarly. Are you saying that she and possibly a few others would become Precure in the "future" you come from?"

"Shhh," Harry smiled as he raised his right index finger with humor. "I can't say, it would spoil too much already. Plus, it's not like you and everyone else would remember this either since from what I can tell, the moment we leave this timeline, it would all rewind back to the way it's supposed to be. In fact, I and the others shouldn't even be here and only came to save you all from getting killed."

"Right..." Past Harry supposed that his future self had a valid point. Knowing about his personal future on whether or not he, Hugtan, and possible others may succeed is something that is a risk that may allow for that specific future to either change in a couple of details or outright not happen. He knew just how risky actual time travel really was since he can speak for himself and Hugtan already being here from a possible future timeline, with the only difference he supposed that the time travel method that is applied in this case is world hopping from one timeline to the other.

And while the two Harrys were discussing this delicate topic, Hana was bowing her head in order to politely thank the young George and the others.

"T-Thank you so very much for helping me and everyone else out," she said, bowing her head.

"Don't worry about it," George said with a smile. Then he turns his attention towards Misaki, concerned at the fact that she was here in the past timeline of his reality, and also noting her special type of clothing attire that he was familiar with. "Speaking of which, Misaki-oneechan, I'm going to garner a guess that Paradox-sensei suddenly brought you here without any prior warning since you're still wearing your maid uniform."

"(Sigh). You got that right, George," Misaki said with an exasperated smile. "I was just working at the café like always when Paradox-sensei suddenly showed up out of the blue and told me that you, Tatsuya-kun, and Kiriya-kun are in trouble because Ultron and GameOver's lackeys showed up and that you all needed my help. So I dropped everything and told the manager that I'd take a break for a moment, and thank god that I did since I just saw you fighting against the Shredder of all people," her expression turned sour as she sees the wounds that were inflicted on him by the Shredder decoy exosuit.

"And after that, Ayuzawa-san and Paradox visited me next. At that point, I have been heavily notified of the current situation that you and the rest have found yourselves in while I was watching the official broadcast from the tv at my laboratory. And so I came just as quickly," Doctor Traum spoke with concern.

"Thank you both, Misaki-oneechan, oji-san," George smiled, bowing his head towards Misaki and Doctor Traum. And then, he looked at Hagumi who was greatly concerned for his well-being. He smiled gently, nodding reassuringly that he was alright as he noted the subtle gesture sensed by his right wounded hand through Hagumi who looked like she was about to cry. "Well then," he tried to stand up straight, albeit rather slowly. "We should probably get going since we overstayed our welcome here in the past."

"Wait!" Past Hana exclaims as she gently grabbed George's left arm. "Will I...Will I see you again?"

George smiled softly. "You will...one day," he said as he gently left the hold as he walked, with Hagumi just right by his side, holding on to his right arm in order to keep him steady while Misaki heads to the left and handles the other arm.

Doctor Traum was following close behind, saying with a smile. "Well then, ojou-san, it's time for us to leave. Farewell for now."

They were all about to walk to a nearby clock portal that was conjured just a few meters ahead, with Past Hana watching curiously while also concerned as she felt something in her heart.

Harry, seeing the way back to the present time, can only look at his past self who was holding Hugtan. "I guess I should get going for now, but a word of advice even though you wouldn't remember any of this anyway," he looks at his past self seriously. "Take care of Hana since she's our only hope for the future."

"...You really think so," Past Harry muttered softly, hoping against hope.

"I know so," Harry spoke without any hesitation with an unwavering smile that was reminiscing all of the times that he had experienced with the HUGtto! Precure Team, both the good and the bad. And so, he begins to walk toward the clock portal with a satisfied smile on his face.

Both Past Hana and Hugtan looked on as they saw George and the others now about to step through the portal. Past Hana was simply holding both of her hands together just right near her heart as she looked on, with a mixture of feelings that make her confused and sad, wondering as to when she would see him again. Hugtan was looking at George from afar as she raises her arms slowly, muttering.

"...Pa...Papa..." Hugtan muttered softly.

And at that very moment, they vanish as they step through the clock portal that in the next few seconds was dissipating as if it were never there. The 14th Legion Clone Troopers have already made themselves scarce, transporting all of the prisoners as they close all the portals on their way out.

And in the next few moments, time itself would now rewind as it all stopped for the ones who remained. And all of the memories that they shouldn't have because of unwanted temporal interference were erased for good, setting history back on track. And the moment would repeat to the specific hours before the interference when Hana Nono as Cure Yell would fight her very first battle against the Oshimaida and has her very first encounter with the Criasu Corporation. And this was the beginning of a great adventure that would forever define her fate and destiny.

But this is a special type of story that is to be told appropriately in another time and place.

Somewhere was a room where advanced control panels were located, the color of silver which shows reflective surfaces for one to see their own reflection. Various professional operators were seen from the control panels, wearing their respective headsets and other formal military attire that was of greyish color. Some in fact were wearing scientist coats, referred to as the eggheads among the SCP Foundation whose logo was located just nearby the platforms of the wall and on the screens of the computers that are being used.

"Sir, everyone has evacuated from the specified timeline, we're ready to begin initiating the Retcon Precision Phase," one operator said.

"Good," the scientist with grey hair and wearing a lab coat spoke with a grim tone. "Initiate the process."

And so, the operator presses a few buttons before the timeline get's reset back to its original history.

Meanwhile, back in the present timeline...

"George!"

"Uff!"

A surprise welcoming embrace happens for George Kurai as found himself in the warm welcoming arms of Hana Nono who was sporting a worried and concerned expression. Her sweet, soft embrace tightened greatly and yet was very gentle and accommodating in light of his wounds which were already healing fast. From what he can tell, there were about...over fifty or so Precure from Futari wa Precure up to KiraKira⭐Precure a la Mode and their respective mascots, along with his two other fellow Kamen Riders, Tatsuya Kaname and Kiriya, everyone one of them were now in their civilian attire, who were all gathered throughout the hospital room that was a lot bigger than it looked, probably spaced out automatically to accommodate the growing number of visitors. From what he can tell, he'd assume that everything was finished in the present time just as in the past time. From the corner of his eye, he spotted the rest of the HUGtto! Precure who were all sitting on their respective hospital beds, no doubt recuperating from their near existence erasure. And he could see their respective families by their side, sporting expressions of gratitude towards him for saving the girls. And then there were many of the clones who were cheering and clapping in praise of him.

"George-san, I'm glad that you're alright," Saaya Yakushiji smiled softly as she was sitting in her hospital bed.

"Honestly, you really had us worried there, nyan," Himari Arisugawa put one hand to her waist, with a smile of exasperation.

"We were rather worried, peko," Pekorin spoke with concern.

"Mou, you had us worried there for a second, young man," Sumire Nono remarked with a sad smile as she, her husband, and her other daughter, carrying the same expressions as her, was drawing near George.

"I salute your glorious return from the battle, my Lord," Woz smiled as he placed his right hand on his breast while holding his book in his left hand. "As expected, you managed to put the cur in his place. Although, it displeases me greatly that your enemy didn't do it in person just like a coward with underhand tactics. But then, I expected no less from one who does not walk the path of honor and fights only to win," he said the last part with scorn and displeasure against the Shredder.

"Woz-sensei," George said as he glances around. "Where's Paradox-sensei?"

"Oh, he left, my Lord. He said that he had other matters of the space-time continuum to attend to. Oh, he also said that you should rest first in spite of your healing factor to which I wholeheartedly agree," Woz explained.

It was also at that moment when George could spot Souji Tendou among the crowd, untransformed and right back to his civilian attire, with both of his hands placed in his pockets, walking towards him with a subtle proud expression.

"You did well, my student," Souji spoke simply with a nod, maintaining a serious facial expression. "As of now, you need to lie down in a hospital bed and recuperate from your wounds. That's an order," he commanded softly, not taking "no" for an answer, knowing just how much of a workaholic George is, one of George's flaws that the latter still struggles from time to time as immersion from work tends to keep his mind off from other things.

"Yes, sensei," George nodded humbly, thinking that there was no use in arguing with sensei especially when it concerns his health. But then, he also admitted that he could use a soft bed to lie down as he could still feel a bit bruised in spite of his healing factor kicking in. Getting shredded by the Shredder was something that he'd rather not recommend to anyone due to the painful experiences of such against the near brush of death. He glances at Hana who was still embracing him out of sheer worry which was quite understandable especially when dealing with the Shredder.

"I'm glad that you're feeling better, Hana," George softly muttered as he placed his right hand near Hana's hair, patting it with care which was a mixed bag of embarrassment and subtle joy for the latter. "I was admittedly rather worried when I was in the past."

"I could say the same thing..." Hana muttered softly, her tone being sad and a little cute which was making George slightly blink his eyes. "I...I couldn't stand to see you hurt like that..."

"...Sorry about that," George could not respond except to embrace Hana and gently give her a pat on the back. Hana only responded with a shaking of the head which was felt from George's chest, feeling the softness of her hair.

The Mahou Tsukai Precure! and the KiraKira⭐Precure a la Mode knew what Hana had meant since they all saw what had happened concerning what was perhaps terrifying, gruesome, and brutal as much as they were used to dealing with. They have all fought their fair share of enemies before and they weren't naïve by any means when it comes to evil individuals and groups, remembering their own respective adventures and the enemies that they fight. But then, facing the grim reality of a battle to the death and the wounds that were found from George, it's like that one wake-up call that flashed behind their minds regarding the probable dangers of superheroics.

The rest of the Precure Teams, while they weren't there specifically to watch the battle as they were busy dealing with the Ultron Sentinels and assisting the 14th Legion Clone Troopers, were told summarily that something bad had happened and it shows through the wounds that George had from his right hand and his chest. Some of the Precures were concerned while others were slightly horrified as their expression shows.

"Hana-chan," Shintarou Nono put his hand on Hana's shoulder which was noted by the latter as she glances at her father. "Perhaps we should let George take a rest on the bed since he probably needs it right now. I don't think standing for too long is a good idea."

"I'd have to agree, Hana-san," Tatsuya smiled as he draws near his best friend. "This stubborn overworking guy needs a little rest after all."

"Right," Hana didn't hesitate as she begins to help George to a nearby hospital bed with Hagumi Kurai from one side and Misaki Ayuzawa on the other. Misaki was simply smiling to herself as she noted the way that Hana was caring for George, although she was just keeping her thoughts to herself and keeping her mouth shut, thinking that the teasing of the young man can wait.

Meanwhile, Ruru Amour was looking closely at Doctor Traum, or rather a much younger variant than the one she or the other Precure knew, sporting an obviously worried expression for his surrogate nephew. Doctor Traum noted her looking at him, showing a mixture of feelings. The same can be said for the rest of the Precure as soon as they realize that Doctor Traum was present before them.

"Speaking of which..." Erika Kurumi looks at Doctor Traum with curiosity and suspicion.

"Aren't you..." Love Momozono muttered as she looks at Doctor Traum with curiosity and suspicion.

"Oh..." George noted the suspicion of many of the Precure as he was being placed in the hospital bed which was the one that Hana uses. He calls out to all of the Precure who glance towards him. "Ladies, you don't have to be cautious. He's not the Doctor Traum that you all fought back then."

"That seems pretty obvious at this point considering that he can transform into a Kamen Rider," Riko Izayoi muttered in bewilderment.

"Eh?! Really?! Doctor Traum is also a Kamen Rider?!" Haruka Haruno muttered in shock. And following that, many of the Precure were either side commenting or looking at Doctor Traum with curiosity.

"Let me guess, he's not the Doctor Traum from the same future timeline where Harry-san and Hugtan came from, correct?" Yuri Tsukikage asked.

"Yes, ojou-san," Doctor Traum smiled. "I'm a very different man from my counterpart. And speaking of which," he looks at Ruru who was just nearby, looking at him with mixed feelings of concern and curiosity. "You must be Ruru Amour, correct?" he said as he slowly makes his way toward her, smiling. "Pleased to finally meet you although I've heard of you before from far away observations."

"Yes...nice to meet you," Ruru spoke softly.

"George Kurai, correct?" Reira Yakushiji was walking toward George's hospital bed alongside her husband, both of whom were smiling gratefully at George.

"Yes," George nodded, confirming his identity.

"Thank you," Reira spoke with a trembling smile as she held the latter's right hand with her own two hands. "Thank you so very much for helping my daughter and her friends."

"We are greatly indebted to you, young man," Shuji Yakushiji smiled.

"Indeed," Haidon Aisaki agreed as he, his wife, and his son were looking at him with a smile. "You deserve all of our gratitude and that of my very own."

George looks at all the happy faces of the parents, grandparents, and other loved ones in this room. It was undeniable to George that these people, the family of each member of the HUGtto! Precure Team, truly cared for the girls' well-being. He can only just imagine the frightening concept of non-existence due to someone who was interfering with their lives in the past like a couple of toys. This reminded him deeply of his late parents as he now wonders about what they would think of him now as he was all grown up, having to grow up too fast for one's personal liking.

"There's no need to thank me, everyone," George reassured. "I just only did the right thing. That is all."

"All the more reason for our gratitude, young man," Chitose Kagayaki nodded with a smile.

"Well then," Souji spoke in turn with a cool expression. "Everyone except for the Precure, their mascots, and Kotori-chan are to leave the premises immediately."

"...Eh?" George Kurai and Hana Nono both muttered in bewilderment as they blink their eyes.

At that moment, Tatsuya smiled as he glances at Kiriya who was also smiling. They both knew what to do in this particular situation. And the same can be said for Misaki and Doctor Traum who smiled knowingly as well.

"Good idea, Tendou-kun," Shintarou suddenly smiled as if he knew what the Kamen Rider was intending to do. "Honey," he turned towards his wife. "Why don't we leave Hana-chan, Kotori-chan, and their friends a bit?"

"Oh," Sumire smiled as well, softly clapping both of her hands. "I think that's a great idea."

"I'd agree as well," Reira smiled, following the lead. She turns towards her husband. "Dear, let's give Saaya-chan and the others some quality time."

"Eh?!" Saaya looked confused.

"Homare-chan, okaa-san and your grandparents are about to go now, have fun with your friends," Chitose said with a smile as she and the grandparents waved back at Homare as they leave for the door.

"Eh?!" Homare looked confused.

"Well, Emiru-chan, it's time for us to go, take care," Miyako Aisaki said with a smile as she, her husband, and her son were now walking towards the exit.

"Eh?!" Emiru looked confused.

"Well then, Ruru, I must go as well," Doctor Traum smiled sadly as he walked towards the exit.

"What?" Ruru looked confused, with the phrases of "Does not compute!" ringing on her mental programing.

"Welp, I guess all of the Riders need to go as well since we're gonna be in a "secret" meeting for today to discuss what had happened, right Kiriya?" Tatsuya looked at Kiriya with a smile.

"Right," Kiriya smiled casually with a nod as he looks at Honoka Yukishiro, who along with Nagisa Misumi and Hikari Kujou, looked confused. "Sorry, Honoka, everyone, we really should be going so take care of George for us," he said as he and Tatsuya walked towards the exit.

"Eh?!" Honoka, Nagisa, and Hikari muttered in shock.

"Wa-Wait, Kiriya-kun?!" Honoka muttered, confused as she raised her left hand.

"Alright, um, general's orders, we're going as well," one Clone Trooper said as he and the rest were heading out of the door.

"Eh?!" many of the Precure were bewildered, not knowing what was happening.

"Oh?" Yukari Kotozume looked amused as if understanding something immediately.

"Hm, what is it?" Akira Kotozume glances at Yukari, wondering what was the matter, recognizing that look.

"Oh nothing," Yukari simply answered with an amused smile.

"Welp, it's time for onee-chan to go," Misaki said with a smile as she pats George gently on the hair. "Oh! And Hana-chan, Hagumi-chan!" she said, looking at Hana and Hagumi, both of whom were noticing her in surprise. "Take care of George, okay?" she said, her smile becoming a bit sad.

"Y-Yeah, sure," Hana answered while being bewildered.

And so, everyone that was not a Precure or a mascot or Kotori-chan was leaving for the exit, leaving George with the rest of the Precure, Kotori, and the mascots alone by themselves.

All alone...

And what was adding to the awkwardness was that all of the Precure and their mascots were looking at him now. Some were bewildered. Some were curious. Some were amused.

George didn't know what to do with this awkwardness as he is essentially all alone with a ton of young beautiful women in this very room. It was something that he found to be a little stressful. And here he thought that Tendou-sensei would let him rest. None didn't know what to do. No one made the first move as all they did was stare at each other. If they were just nearby a forest, they'd probably hear the cicadas crying in the background.
