Chapter 16: The Pharaoh Mummy
The team only started, but blinked in surprise that in order to obtain the Wonder Color Yellow, they must battle Pharaoh Ammon and defeat him. They understood that they need to succeed in defeating the pharaoh successfully, and then they are one step closer to obtaining the Wonder Color and saving Spectrum Land. "So Pretty Cure, are you ready to challenge me?" The pharaoh asked.
The team stared at each other with firm looks and nodded. "We're ready!" Bloom responds.
"Very well then!" Pharaoh Ammon raises his right hand into the air. Then torches lit around the room as they revealed what the Pretty Cure team is standing on is a huge battling field. Then they heard a crowd as the team looked up, and in the balconies contained many mummies and Egyptian people cheering for the battle. The mummy and Egyptain servants carried the Pharaoh from the throne, down the steps, and stopped in front of the Pretty Cure team. The pharaoh snaps his fingers next as a mummy servant brought two Khepesh, Egyptian swords, for their leader. Pharaoh Ammon takes the swords holding each one in both hands. The mummy and Egyptian servants who carried their pharaoh gently crouch down to make the pharaoh land safely on the ground. The pharaoh kindly orders his servants to leave, and he twirls his swords as he warms up for battle. Once he is fully prepared, he makes an announcement, "Now then Pretty Cures, here are the rules. A single warrior or a team no more than five can challenge me to a duel. The objective is to make the opponent lose. Here are the victory conditions Pretty Cures. If you can win by defeating me or I surrender, then the victory is yours. In my victory case, you only get three tries to defeat me. If you fail your three attempts to defeat me, I will win the duel. But be warned heroes of Spectrum Land, I will not go easy on you in this battle. So, do we have a deal?" The team looked at each other with little more concern, but they nodded with a firm look. The all agreed on the duel. "Alright then, who goes first?"
"We will." Cure Happy volunteered. And the Smile Pretty Cure decided that they should challenge first with Pharaoh Ammon.
"Alright then Smile Pretty Cure, as for the others, would you be so kindly to step out of the field for your own safety." The other team members nodded and understood as they moved out of the way and stand on the sidelines.
The warriors of the Smile Pretty Cure stood on one side of the arena ring, and the pharaoh stood on the other side of the ring. Then an Egyptian person comes into the middle of the battle field and on the sidelines. He makes an announcement, "I'll be the judge of the battle. The rules of the battle are exactly what Pharaoh Ammon stated. Warriors, are you ready?"
Both the Smile Pretty Cure and Pharaoh Ammon nodded. "Good luck! Win for the Wonder Color-kuru!" Candy cheered from the side.
The judge raised his hand in the air. With a quick swipe toward the ground…, "BEGIN!"
The Smile Pretty Cure and Pharaoh Ammon dashed right from the start and towards each other. Once they collided, the two different fighters attacked head on. The Pretty Cures use their fists for punch attacks, while the pharaoh use his swords as defense to block the punches. It is a fierce battle as neither side is giving up, and the Pretty Cure team on the sidelines and the crowd cheered their fighters for victory. Matt and Tint only watched the battle but hoped that the Smile Pretty Cure team wins.
As Happy, March, and Peace tries to land a punch on Ammon, Beauty and Sunny got an idea to defeat him. "Beauty, you're ready?" Sunny asked. Beauty nodded.
Beauty charges towards Ammon. "Happy, Peace, March, Move!" she commanded. Happy, Peace, and March heard Beauty and moved out of the way leaving the pharaoh an open attack. Beauty jumped up and chants her attack. "Pretty Cure, Beauty Blizzard!" A big snowflake appeared in front of her, and then a gust of blizzard swirled and zoomed towards Pharaoh Ammon. When the blizzard attack is close to Ammon, he braced for the impact by covering his body with his swords. The blizzard made contact on him as ice started to form around Ammon causing him to immobilize. The pharaoh tries to break free, but the ice is too thick to break. "Sunny, your turn!" Beauty called out.
"This battle is ours." Sunny declared as she chants her attack. She jumped up, "Pretty Cure, Sunny Fire!" A huge fireball appeared and she spiked it towards the frozen pharaoh. The pharaoh sees the fireball coming towards him as he braces again for the impact. The fireball hit Ammon and exploded making a huge fire blaze in front of everyone and entrapping Ammon inside. The pharaoh screamed in pain, and Sunny smiled in confidence. When the fire is out, everyone, the Pretty Cure team, the judge, and the crowd, only saw Ammon lying down on the ground all burnt up.
When the burnt pharaoh didn't move for a few seconds, the Smile Pretty Cure assumed they won the battle and jumped for victory. The other Pretty Cures, Matt, Tint, and the fairies smiled thinking they've won. "Hooray! We've won-kuru!" Candy cheered.
"Alright! We got the Wonder Color." Tint applauded.
The Pretty Cure team thought they had won… "Ah, ah, ah. Don't celebrate yet Pretty Cures." the judge said while waving his finger back and forth. The Pretty Cure team heard and stopped cheering. "You underestimated our leader…, our very special leader." They were now confused of what the judge said. The judge turned to the burnt Ammon on the ground, and the team followed along. They stared at the pharaoh body for a moment when…, CRACK! The Pretty Cures jolted in shock when they saw the pharaoh's burnt right arm quickly stretched upward. Then the Pretty Cure team really became frightened when the burnt pharaoh slowly rises from the ground and onto his feet. He stood up straight and looks at the Smile Pretty Cure. Only his eyes glowed, his whole skin body is burnt up, but suddenly… Crick! Crack! Crick! Crack! The pharaoh's burnt skin body started to crack…, and his burnt skin fell off of him. The whole Pretty Cure team jumped in fright and widens their eyes when Pharoah Ammon's burnt skin was removed; he is now a live mummy. He is wrapped in worn-out silk bandages, his wardrobe had burnt and scratch marks, and his face shows ghoulish eyes and teeth. He even shows his skeleton bones that aren't wrapped from his bandages. Pharaoh Ammon then stretches his neck side to side to loosen his muscles. He then grabs his sword again.
"The judge is right." The pharaoh said, "You see, I'm a special undead mummy that can't be destroyed so easily. It's a handy power of mine to test those heroic warriors to battle me for victory and the Wonder Color. Time to rethink your strategy, Smile Pretty Cure. If you want to win, then truly show me everything you've got." The pharaoh gets back into his fighting position.
The Smile Pretty Cure warriors are a little scared. "Oh man, and I thought we had him." Sunny said while worrying.
"We have to keep trying!" March commanded. "C'mon! let's move!" March ran forward and the other four Cures followed her. The Smile Pretty Cure warriors charged at Pharaoh Ammon as he held his guard up. Sunny and Beauty start to collide at the pharaoh as the two girls try to land their punches on Ammon. When Ammon is distracted by Sunny and Beauty's punch attacks, Happy and Peace comes in leaping forward and shouts their attacks. A beam from Happy's hands came out and Peace's thunder attack appeared as they aim towards to Ammon. Sunny and Beauty moved out of the way, but Ammon dodged the two attacks. In a flash, March came right up to Ammon and makes a powerful kick. Ammon manages to dodge March's attack in time, but his right arm, along with his sword it holds, was kicked off from his body, and it flew into the air. "Ha, you don't have your arm now." March said in confidence.
Pharaoh Ammon makes a firm look. "Don't be so sure." He said.
March makes a confuse look, but the right arm she kicked off suddenly stopped in midair and headed straight towards her. The flying arm pulls back on the sword it holds, and when it got close to March, the arm swipes at her. "AAAAHHHHHH!" March screamed in pain, and she was pushed back and hit a pillar behind her causing to give more pain to March. The other Smile Pretty Cure gasped in shock as March came off the wall and collapsed to the ground. The other Cures looked at Ammon as his arm floated towards him and reattach to Ammon's body. Ammon gets back into his fighting position again.
"Like I said Pretty Cures, I'm a special undead mummy." He said calmly. "Now witness one of my special attacks." Pharaoh Ammon crosses his sword and chants his attack. "Sandstorm Tornado!" He slashes his swords forward, and a huge sand tornado appeared and heads towards the four remaining Smile Pretty Cure warriors. Sunny, Beauty, and Happy brace for the impact of the sandy tornado, but they were suddenly sucked into the tornado, including March, as they were spinning around and screeching in pain.
"Happy! Sunny! Peace! March! Beauty!" Candy cried as she fearfully watched them in pain inside the tornado.
When the tornado disappeared, the Smile Pretty Cure team started falling and collapsed to the ground. The Smile Pretty Cure were unable to move and recover themselves. The judge sees the fallen Smile Pretty Cure and makes the final decision. "The Smile Pretty Cure can't battle any further. The victor is Pharaoh Ammon!" The crowd in the balconies cheered in great excitement. The other Cures and the fairies were a little disappointed that the Smile Pretty Cure team lost. Matt, and some of the Pretty Cures went into the arena to help the Smile Pretty Cure. They carried the injured Smile Pretty Cure to the sidelines.
"Oh Pretty Cures, I'm sorry you lost." Lemonade said in sorrow.
"Oh well… we've… tried." Sunny said with breathing in pain and exhaustion.
"Yeah…," March tries to speak up, "we… didn't know… we're facing a strong mummy boss."
The Smile Pretty Cure sat and relaxed on the sideline as Ammon makes an announcement to them. "That's your first try of battling me. You've only got two more. So what's your next team to face me?"
The Pretty Cure team is a bit afraid of the pharaoh that he looks unbeatable, but Bloom and Egret looked at each other for a moment, and then they nodded. "We would like to face you next." Bloom called out.
"Then step into the field Pretty Cures." And Bloom and Egret did as they prepared themselves for a battle.
Before the next round battle starts, Bloom and Egret's crystal communes begin to shake. Flappy and Choppy tries to talk to them.
"Be careful Bloom." Flappy said in concern, "That pharaoh is really strong-lapi."
"Please be okay-chopi." Choppy followed with little concern.
"Don't worry, we will." Egret responds.
Moop and Foop cheered on as they floated on the sidelines. All fighters were ready as the judge makes the call. "Are both sides ready?" The Splash Star duo and Pharaoh Ammon nodded. The judge raises his hand high, and then he swipes it to the ground. "BEGIN!" The Cure duo and Ammon charged forth to each other and collided as they started to attack each other. The other Pretty Cures, Matt, Tint, and the fairies cheered on hoping that the Splash Star Cures would win the second round.
Bloom and Egret kept landing punches on Ammon has he crosses his swords in front of him to protect the punches from the Cures. The two Cures kept punching until Ammon drops his guard and the swords slip out of his hands. The swords flung back behind him and stick to the ground. Ammon sees this, but he let his guard down again when…
"Now Egret!" Bloom commanded. Egret nodded. Ammon turned toward the Cures, and suddenly…
"Pretty Cure, Twin Stream Splash!" A huge yellow and blue jet stream appeared and makes impact on Ammon pushing him back and hits a pillar behind him. When he crash into the pillar, his body broke into pieces, and they all landed on the ground. The two duo Cures only see the body parts on ground and thinking they may have won the battle. Bloom and Egret jumped in victory…
"Uh, Girls! Not yet!" Matt shouted and pointed out.
Bloom and Egret heard Matt and looked at the body parts again. The two cures were surprised when the body parts start to move again and slowly come together. Then the parts swirled in midair and assemble back into the Mummy Pharaoh Ammon again. Ammon stands on his feet and shakes his body to loosen his muscles again. Bloom and Egret became really shocked. "You've got to be kidding me!" Bloom complained.
"No way!" Egret cried.
"Not bad Pretty Cures," Pharaoh Ammon complemented them, "but not quite good enough. I see you young warriors are really strong, but you haven't shown me your full power to me yet." The pharaoh grabs his swords that were sticking to the ground and pulls them out. "Now Pretty Cures, it's my turn to attack." He starts to pull back his right arm, and next he thrusts it with his sword into the ground as a quake started and a crack heads straight toward the Splash Star duo. Bloom and Egret looked around their feet figuring out what's going to happen as they panicked a little. Suddenly, a huge sand dune popped out of the ground and underneath Bloom and Egret, and it entraps them leaving only their head sticking out of the dune. The two Cures try to break free, but the sand became harden making the Cures immobilize. The other Pretty Cures on the team, Matt, Tint, and the fairies startled in fright when they saw this. Pharaoh Ammon chants another attack, "Sand Blast!" He thrusts his left arm and sword towards the trapped Cures, and a yellow beam appeared from the tip of the sword and heads towards the dune that encases Bloom and Egret. When the beam made contact, the dune exploded sending the two Cures into the air in pain and screaming. And the little harden sand pieces from the dune makes multiple hits on Bloom and Egret doing extra damage to them. The two Cures then started falling down and crashed onto the ground. Bloom and Egret were in terrible pain and were unable to move.
The judge makes his final decision, "The Pretty Cure Splash Star duo is unable to continue the battle. The winner is Pharaoh Ammon again!" The crowd cheered and goes wild again. The Pretty Cure team was disappointed again and became more frightened. Melody and Sword went into the field and helped Bloom and Egret. The Splash Star duo were carried to the sidelines and were rested to restore their energy. Moop and Foop came by and floated in front of Bloom and Egret.
"Oh no, I can't believe you lost-mupu." said Moop in sorrow.
"Yeah, me too-pupu." Foop followed.
"Don't feel… too bad," Bloom said in pain, "We tried…"
"It's just that… he's really strong and very tricky… that's all." Egret followed up while in she's in pain.
"That's your second try Pretty Cures." Ammon announces to them, "One more loss and you will walk away with nothing. Do you wish to continue, or turn back for your good?"
After what the pharaoh said, the team isn't sure if they could win the battle with Ammon's incredible powers of the undead mummy. It seems they've faced a dead end, and their hopes to obtain the Wonder Color Yellow and saving Spectrum Land will be over. Just when Matt suggested they should give up… "NO!" everyone turned to who shouted that call, and it is Cure Peach with her team partners standing next to her. "They may have lost, but we'll never give up. I know this our last chance to win the Wonder Color, but we're not going to give up that easily. We will keep going until we succeed to the very end. We will be the last team to battle you to win the Wonder Color." Peach looks at her team members, "Are you ready girls?" Berry, Pine, and Passion nodded saying they're ready. Peach nodded back and looks back at Pharaoh Ammon.
Ammon sees the Fresh Pretty Cure's confidence and determination as he raises one of his eyelids in surprise. "You young girl got some spirit in you. Alright then, this is the last battle and the last chance for you girls to win. I hope I expect something worthy out of you girls for me to enjoy."
"Don't worry," Berry responded, "we're going to make sure you'll be impressed by our determination to win this battle." So, both Pharaoh Ammon and the Fresh Pretty Cure went to their own side of the field and prepares for the last battle.
Before the battle starts, Matt calls out to the Fresh Pretty Cure, "Pretty Cure, are you sure you're going to be okay? It's just that, I don't want to see you get hurt like the last Pretty Cures. Besides that, Pharaoh Ammon is a really strong opponent for you girls to defeat. He keeps reassembling himself no matter what attack you throw at him."
"Don't you worry about a thing Matt." Pine said in a calm and happy manner. "As long as you never give up and keep your determination going, you're bound to achieve many things when you work really hard."
Matt listened to every word what Pine said, and he understood only to give the Fresh Pretty Cure a thumb-up. The Fresh Pretty Cure gave a thumb-up back to Matt. Matt stepped away onto the sidelines, and the Fresh Pretty Cure got into their fighting positions. Pharaoh Ammon is also ready for the last battle. The judge calls out, "This is the final battle round. Let this be the best one of all. Are you ready?" Both sides nodded. The judge raises his hand into the air, and then he quickly swipes it down to the ground. "BEGIN!" The Fresh Pretty Cure and Ammon charged forth and attacked.
When the Cures and Ammon collided, the Cures land their punches on Ammon as the pharaoh defends himself and swipes his swords to counterattack. The other Cures, Matt, Tint, and the fairies cheered on with all of their heart-filled spirits hoping that Fresh Pretty Cure will win the battle. The Fresh Pretty Cure kept punching the defended pharaoh, but Pharaoh Ammon jumped back and crosses his swords. "Sandstorm Tornado!" he shouted and swipes his swords, and a huge sandy tornado appeared and heads towards the Fresh Pretty Cure. The Cures jumped out of the way and dodged the tornado in time. But when the Cures's guard is down, Ammon quickly thrust one of his swords to the ground creating a quake and making a crack heading towards the Cures. The quake and crack reached the Fresh Pretty Cure and entrapped them in a sand dune with only their heads sticking out. With the Cures immobilize, Ammon aims one of his swords toward the trapped Cures and chants, "Sand Blast!" A beam shoots out from his sword and hits on the dune. The dune then exploded causing the Fresh Pretty Cure to fly into the air screaming in pain. Little chunks of the hard sand from the dune hit and damage the Cures in the process. The Cures then fall down to the ground and crashed.
"NO!" Tint screamed in fright.
"Pretty Cure!" Matt shouted. The other Cures and the fairies were shocked and speechless.
The Fresh Pretty Cure laid down on the ground immobilized. The judge and the pharaoh just see the Cures lying down on the ground. Pharaoh Ammon closes his eyes in shame, "(Sigh)… And here I thought I had a worthy battle. Turns out, it was just a waste of my time."
The judge examines the fallen Fresh Pretty Cure, and then he makes his announcement, "That's it; I made my final decision. The winner of the last battle is—"
"NOT YET!" Everyone heard the shout, including the pharaoh and the judge, and turned towards the source. The pharaoh became surprised when he sees the Fresh Pretty Cure slowly standing up on feet. They struggle with the pain the Cures got, but they held their ground and got back into their fighting stance. The Cures were breathing really hard as they were covered with bruise and dirt marks on their body and outfit. "It's not over… until it's over!" Peach shouted while breathing.
Pharaoh became speechless to see young girls keep the battle going even after they took a hit of his powerful attacks. The other cures, the fairies, and Tint smiled knowing the Fresh Pretty Cure are raring to go, but Matt was shocked and confused of why the Cures are so eager to win when they're badly injured. Matt shook his head and calls out to the Fresh Pretty Cure, "Pretty Cure!" The Fresh Pretty Cure heard Matt and turned to him. "Why you want to keep going if you girls are weak and injured from Pharaoh Ammon's sand attack? You're going to kill yourselves. Do you want that?" The Fresh Pretty Cure listened every word what Matt said, and they calmly smiled.
"I know it's not the right thing to do, but it is." Berry said.
"Even though we're in pain right now, we'll never give up until we fulfill our mission." Pine stated.
"Why would you say that?" Matt said curiously with little confusion.
Passion slowly replies, "It's because, our determination… comes from…" Matt listened, "… our dreams."
Matt blinked, "Your dreams…?"
Peach nodded, "…My dream is to become a wonderful dancer. When I saw my favorite dancing team, Infinity, did so well on stage and they offered me to take dance lessons, I thought to myself that I like to dance on stage and be famous for everyone to smile my performance. Although there were times that I couldn't perfect my dancing moves on the spot, I never gave up. I took some falls during my lessons, but I kept getting back up on my feet and kept dancing. And if I keep going and never give up, I will become a famous dancer." Matt became speechless.
"The same thing for me." Berry followed, "I want to become a top model. Even when there are times I wasn't selected to be on stage, my determined heart is telling me to keep trying, and one day my chance to become a superstar model on stage will come true. As long I keep trying, I will be perfect."
"And my dream goal is to become a wonderful veterinarian." Pine stated, "I love taking care of animals. And when there is a time that I face an animal that looks scary to me, I'll at least do my best, because it is my dream and goal to help all those poor and injured animals that are in need."
"And I may not know what my dream is in the future, but I will sure some day I find that dream of mine." Passion said with a smile. "I faced many hardships, and I didn't what to do when I became an enemy of Peach and the others. But thanks to their kind hearts, there was hope me. And as long there's hope for me and everyone, then anything can happen if you believe."
Matt is a little awestruck, then Peach makes her last inspiring words to Matt, "Matthew Oda, we Pretty Cures are also determined to help those in need of trouble or are lost in the dark, especially saving our world from turning into black and white and lose their life energy. And it is our job to make sure that everyone has a dream and are eager to fulfill their dream to come true. As Fresh Pretty Cure, we want to make sure everyone has a smile to live on. That is why I, Cure Peach, will make sure everyone gets their happiness, even if there are people without dreams."
Then Tarte filled in on Matt. "That my good human friend is what true determination really is." he told to Matt. Matt didn't know what to say, but he gave two thumb-ups and grins. The Fresh Pretty Cure smiled in response.
Pharaoh Ammon became speechless when he heard what the Fresh Pretty Cure said. Then the cures turned to him with their firm looks on their faces. "You may be an undead mummy, but we'll find a way to defeat you." Cure Peach declared. "There's always a way to defeat someone if you're determined and bound to achieve and reach your goals and dreams." Peach turns to her comrades, "Isn't that right girls?" The other cures nodded. Then the team got into their fighting stance.
Pharaoh Ammon closes his eyes and smirks. "Those are inspiring words Pretty Cures." Ammon commented. "Alright then, like you said young girl, the battle isn't over until it's over." The pharaoh got into his fighting stance. "Let's continue!"
The judge nodded in agreement. "Alright everyone!" the judge shouted, "Continue the match!" He then swipes his arm down signaling the fighters to continue.
The Fresh Pretty Cure and Pharaoh Ammon dashed towards each other, and when they collided, they started fighting again. The Pretty Cure team and the crowd cheered on as they watch the fierce battle. Matt and Tint also cheered from the bottom of their hearts. The Cures and the pharaoh battled really hard as they were down to their last breath knowing they're left with a little bit of their life energy.
Pharaoh Ammon jumps back and stares at the Cures. "You certainly got will power Pretty Cures," he said, "but it all ends here as I give you one last attack to end you girls for good." The pharaoh crosses his sword, and then he swipes forward. "Sandstorm Tornado!" A sandy tornado appeared and heads to the Fresh Pretty Cure.
The Fresh Pretty Cure looked at each other. "Girls!" Peach called out. The other Cures nodded back at Peach. The Cures quickly head toward to some sand that's on the ground, and in an instant, they quickly and powerfully kicked the sand on the ground and sends them into the tornado. And when the tornado sucked up the sand, it created a huge dust storm in the whole field and huge room. Every single person in the room covered their eyes from the sand storm, including Pharaoh Ammon who now can't see the field.
"Grrr…! I can't see." Ammon shouted. The dust storm then slowly starts to disappear making the room become visible. When the storm cleared away, Pharaoh Ammon opened his eyes to the field, and in shock the Pretty Cures disappeared. "What the!? Where did they go?" He looked around…
"HAAA!" Suddenly someone shouted and Ammon turned toward the sound. And in coming quickly is Berry running up close to him. Ammon tries to react in time as Berry tries to land a punch on Ammon. Ammon blocked the attack with his swords, but then Pine follows up behind Berry. Berry moved out of the way, and in a flash Pine got in front of Ammon and kicks his swords as they flicked off his hands and flew away. Ammon jolted and sees his swords flying away, but he drops his guard.
"Peach, Passion, now!" Pine called. Then Peach and Passion instantly appeared on the sides of the pharaoh. Pharaoh Ammon flinched in surprise. Peach and Passion then quickly grabbed one of the loose bandages on Ammon's arms. And quickly running in circles, the two Cures tied up Ammon's arms and body making him unable to move. Pharaoh became immobilized.
The judge and the crowd in the balconies became shocked and surprise, and the Pretty Cure team, Matt, Tint, and the fairies smiled and cheered in great excitement. "Alright!" Tarte shouted. Chiffon even cheered loudly and proudly.
"Let's do it girls!" Peach commanded. The other Fresh Pretty Cure nodded in agreement, and all the Cures stepped back and prepared a powerful attack.
"Clover Box, lend us your power!" Peach commanded. She then raises her hand into the air, and a huge white light beam appeared behind her. The Clover Box appeared, and it opened as the four leafs of the clover inside glowed. "Pretty Cure Formation!" The Fresh Pretty Cure were then into their racing mark stance. "Ready… GO!" And all the four cures dashed off and head to the trapped Ammon.
Passion calls out the first wave of the attack, "Happiness Leaf, set!" Her carrying Linkrun pocket glowed, and it gave Passion a red glowing leaf in her hands. She grabs the leaf, "Pine!" and flicks it to Pine.
Pine, while running, grabs the red leaf. "Plus one, Prayer Leaf!" she called out. Her carrying Linkrun pocket glowed, and a yellow glowing leaf appeared and attaches the red leaf. "Berry!" Pine throws the two leaves to Berry.
Berry grabs the two leafs. "Plus one, Espoir Leaf!" she called out. Her Linkrun pocket glowed, and a blue glowing leaf appeared and attaches the two leaves. "Peach!" Berry throws the three leaves to Peach.
Peach runs with all her might, and she jumps and grabs the three leaves. "Plus one, Lovely Leaf." Her Linkrun pocket glowed, and a pink glowing leaf appeared and attaches the three leaves. It then created a four-leaf clover.
Berry, Pine, and Passion jumped to get close to Peach, and then Peach throws in front of her and her comrades. Then spinning clover quickly grows huge. The Fresh Pretty Cure then heads and lands on their own color leaf on the big clover as their own color leaf glowed. The clover with the Pretty Cures on them is getting close to the trapped Ammon as he widens his eyes in shock. The clover goes through Ammon as the huge clover sets Ammon in the middle of it. The Cures raised their hands in the air. "Lucky Clover Grand Finale!" The Fresh Pretty Cure shouted. Magic particles of pink, blue, yellow, and red appeared and delve into Pharaoh Ammon. Then a huge crystal gem appeared encasing Ammon. "HHHAAAAAAAAA!" The Cures shouted as the crystal began to glow brightly white and magical particle streams swirled around it.
The Pharaoh screamed in pain as the Cures' attack did a number on him. The Egyptian people and the mummies made their eyes widen, and their jaws open wide. Then Ammon said the last words, "Shuwa, Shuwa…" The light grew brightly even more, and then it disappeared.
When the Cures' attack was over, Pharaoh Ammon just stood still unmovable. Then a few seconds later…, he falls towards the ground and his whole body broke into parts. The whole crowd became shocked and frightened when their leader has fallen. The judge was surprised too, and he didn't know if he should call the round. The other Pretty Cures, Matt, Tint, and the fairies watched and waited for the anticipation.
The Fresh Pretty Cure was tired as they were breathing hard from their last attack. Once the Cures' catch their breath, the four walked closer to the fallen Pharaoh. There in their view, they see the body parts twitching in pain. They spotted Ammon's head as his eyes were closed and is unconscious. Then Ammon slowly opens one eye and sees the Cures staring at him. "Hrrk!... You girls… are really strong…" he said in pain. "Uuuhhhh… I wish I could stand… but…, I'm too weak and tired to move…"
The Cures just kept staring at Ammon's head, until Peach makes a grin. "Hey your highness, let us help you out." she said. Peach turns to her teammates, and they nodded. The Fresh Pretty Cure then starts picking up the body parts of Ammon, and they assembled him back into his mummy humanoid form again. Pharaoh Ammon can stand again, but he feels a little weak as he holds his left hand that's sore. "Are you feeling okay?" Peach asked.
"Yes…," the pharaoh responds, "thank you young ones for helping me getting back in one piece." Everyone in the room watched as the Fresh Pretty Cure listened and Pharaoh Ammon talked. "I must admit Pretty Cures…, you have great power that I didn't and never expected from you. You have shown your true power to me."
"So does that mean we win?" Pine asked.
"Just hold on there, Miss. There's one more thing I must tell you before I make my final decision on the battle." Ammon looks at the other Pretty Cures that are on the sidelines. "This includes you too." he called to the other Cures. The Pretty Cure team listened. "I did say that this battle is the true final challenge to see if you're worthy enough to obtain the Wonder Color, but let me tell you something else. This battle is only just part of the truest test of all here in Yellow Desert for the Wonder Color." The Cures blinked in confusion. "Do you know what the truest test is to obtain the Wonder Color Yellow?" The Fresh Pretty Cure shook their head slowly. The pharaoh smiles, "The truest test was…, your determination." The Cures blinked. "I know everything about you when you arrived in Yellow Desert. You've encountered many obstacles in your path, but all of you never gave up. You kept your spirits up to get to Clay Outpost, find the Golden Scarab, find my pyramid, and surpass my challenges. You never let one obstacle, including something that looked dangerous, stand in your way. And when you battled me, you kept moving forward even from my powerful attacks. And you're inspiring words of determination have touched me. It proves to you young heroes that your incredible determination are the true Pretty Cure heroes, and you have what it takes to save Spectrum Land. You Fresh Pretty Cure, and you other Pretty Cures, have the powerful ability you possess, and that is: Perseverance." The Fresh Pretty Cure smiled, and so did the other Cures, the fairies, Matt and Tint. Even the crowd audience and the judge were amazed by the pharaoh's words. Pharaoh Ammon then raises his voice to let everyone hear his final judgment, "And so therefore everyone, I, Pharaoh Ammon, declare the Pretty Cures…, the winners of the battle!"
The judge didn't say a word at first, but a few seconds later he smiles and makes an announcement, "And there you have it everyone! The winners of the battle are the Pretty Cures!" The crowd was speechless at first…, but then they smiled and applauded. And the crowd goes wild for a marvelous battle.
The Pretty Cure team shouted and jumped in excitement.
"Yahoo! They won!" Lovely shouted.
"Yeah! Way to go Fresh Pretty Cure!" Lemonade cheered.
"Hooray! Victory-kuru!" Candy shouted.
"Yay! Pretty Cures rule!" Marine shouted and jumped.
"Wahoo! What a battle!" Matt cheered.
"Alright! Victory is ours!" Tint followed.
The Fresh Pretty Cure smiled as they looked all around the room hearing everyone applauding for them. Pharaoh Ammon smiles, and then he snaps. "Servants!" he commanded. A couple of mummies brought forth the cage of the Wonder Color Yellow to the pharaoh. One of the mummies unlocks and opens the cage. He takes the Wonder Color Yellow out and gives it to the pharaoh. The Fresh Pretty Cure sees the Wonder Color in the pharaoh's hands. "And now Pretty Cures," the pharaoh says to the Cures, "here's what you have been waiting for: The Wonder Color Yellow. Take it, you truly deserve this." In the Cures view, they see the Wonder Color, floating a little above Pharaoh Ammon's hand, is a glowing orb just exactly like the Wonder Color Green, only this time it's glowing the color yellow.
The Fresh Pretty Cure smiled. "Thank you so much." Peach said to the pharaoh, "We'll make sure we will save Spectrum Land and our galaxy." The pharaoh smiled knowing for sure that Peach is true to her word. The pharaoh gives the Wonder Color to Peach, and she takes it. Peach turned around, "Hey Matt! The case!"
Matt heard and nodded, and he and the rest of the team walked up to Peach and the others. When they all approached in front of Peach and the other girls, Matt digs into his messenger bag and pulls out the Wonder Color Case. "Time to send the color yellow in this safe box." Matt said as he opens the lid. Peach then opens her hands wide as the Wonder Color Yellow starts to float towards the case.
Once the Wonder Color Yellow got close to the case, it then swirled into the air up high and glowed brightly in a yellow light. The Wonder Color then zooms down and heads towards the center circle of the Wonder Color Case. It went inside the case and the center circle glowed in a bright yellow beam. Then one of the eight small blank holes begins to glow in a yellow color. The Wonder Color Yellow is inside the case. "Wonder Color Yellow is ours!" Peach stated. The whole Pretty Cure team jumped in victory.
With all the challenges and tests they've encountered, the Pretty Cure team have successfully overcome the trials and obtain the Wonder Color Yellow in their possession. Pharaoh Ammon and his loyal people were pleased and happy to see the Pretty Cures achieve the Wonder Color by their incredible perseverance. The Pharaoh and his people became good friends with the Pretty Cures, and safely escorted the team out of the pyramid. They wish the Pretty Cures the best of luck as the team left and head back to Rusty and Musty who are waiting for the Pretty Cures' return. When Rusty and Must heard the wonderful news of the Pretty Cures' great success, the two western folks smiled and jumped for joy. Rusty and Musty gives the Pretty Cure team a ride back to Clay Outpost, and the Pretty Cures waved happily farewell to Pharaoh Ammon and his people. The Pretty Cures are one step closer to save Spectrum Land as they prepare to head back to Pigment Village and head out for the next Wonder Color. But who know what other dangers await for the Pretty Cures as the mission to retrieve the other Wonder Colors continues.
