(The Pretty Cure are towed across The Void for a while. The vehicles follow a road that passes a glistening lake with a house in the center, then a rundown park near a mountainous area, then finally pull up to a small city with 9 skyscrapers and a few smaller buildings)
Hana:There's civilization here?
Emily:That isn't civilization... that is the main base of The Void...
Hikaru:The main base...?
Chloe:Yup. And unfortunately for us... this is our death sentence...
(The Pretty Cure stiffen as they hear Chloe's grim description as they pull into the city.
A young girl with white hair, black attire, and a black sleeveless top pulls a lever to open the makeshift gate to the city. The vehicles drive in and slow down, parking next to the tallest building in the small city.
To the Pretty Cure's eyes, the city is far cleaner and more civilized than other run-down locations they've seen... and far more fortified than them. Several windows were barred, a makeshift wall surrounds the city, and several masked or heavily armored individuals stalk the Cures through the windows or corners around the buildings.
Eventually, several henchmen step out onto the main street as the crew dismount their vehicles. Most notable henchmen were an astronaut in a black suit with glowing green emissives and a visor with hexagonal shapes. A red-skin female succubus with horns and a long-pointed tail, teleported beside the astronaut. Two teenage girls, a girl with blue hair styled back with a prominent forehead and her sister with short velvet hair. A large man with a red-striped tank top, wielding a hammer. A young blonde girl with black clothes and a large purple ribbon, a big muscular man wearing heavy gold knight armor and a large shoulder pad with shotgun shells attached to it, and a tall young woman with lilac hair wearing a suggestive nun habit... staring at the Pretty Cure with a blank and sad expression)
Hana:S-Some of them are... f-former Pretty Cure villains...
(Several of the henchmen unlock the circular cages and aggressively yank the Pretty Cure, the Glitter Force, the Fairies, and the two twins out of their cages and onto the dusty concrete. As the astronaut forcibly throws Lala and Hana onto the ground, loud hissing followed by creaking alerted the Cures. A giant helmet with red-tinted eye holes slowly lifted up... revealing a giant skull underneath. It was then the Cures knew what the wall was made of)
Lala:T-This fortress-lun... is made by this corpse's arms-lun...?
(Hana's eyes widen as she stares at the giant skull)
Hana:I-Is that... Ant-Man...?
Aoi:Looks more like a Giant-Man now...
(The young nun grabbed the Cures gently and lifted them to their feet effortlessly)
Hikaru:I-I-Is that... a nun...? T-Thank you.
(The woman stays silent and continues staring sadly at nothing)
Michiru:I'd keep your voices down... they don't like the chatter.
(Aoi glances at Hana)
Aoi:Boy they're gonna love you...
(The henchmen turn their attention to the skull's mouth, where figures slowly approached into the skylight. The Glitter Force look noticeably scared and nervous, while the Pretty Cure squint their eyes and try to decipher the people approaching)
Hikaru:I-Is that the Aries Star Princess...?
H-HEY! ARIES! IT'S US!
Lala:That's not Aries-lun...
Kelsey:Oh shit...
(Stairs leading to the skull's mouth open as five girls, about the same age as the Pretty Cure except a younger blonde girl, stride to Cures.
The girl in the middle looked noticeably more timid than the rest. She took slow, shy steps... carefully analyzing the Cures as if they might hurt her. She had short black hair with a purple tint, golden horns, and a very suggestive and... more brash outfit than anyone here, but thankfully covered some of herself with a white skirt)
Shy girl:W-W-Who are you...?
Hana:My name is Nono Hana and I'm 14 years old! Thing is, I'm actually a super cool and stylish-
April:8th grader! (ahem) 8th grader...
(Hana simply hummed and nodded, catching on that the Glitter Force were hinting at not revealing their identities)
Hana:A-And this mysterious baby is Hugtan...!
(Hugtan coos silently, still glued to the pole along with the fairies)
Hana:This is Hoshina Hikaru, Hagoromo Lala, Usami Ichika, Arisugawa Himari, Tategami Aoi, and Kirahoshi Ciel!
(A girl with green hair tied in double buns, wearing an oversized military coat and her bottom only covered by a skimpy thong, throws her arms behind her head)
Snotty girl:Hehhhh... these girls just seem like pushovers...
Shy girl:D-Don't be rude, Leo-Chan...
(She turns her attention back to Hana and smiles shyly, and a little... weirdly)
Ciel:Who are you?
Shy girl:I-I'm the... leader of this g-group... Magia Baiser...
Hana:M-Magia... Baiser-Chan...?
Magia Baiser:He... hehe... y-you girls are... c-cute! O-Oh! I'm sorry! U-Um... L-Leber-Chan... c-could you...?
(A quiet, reserved girl with short, messy teal hair and wearing a two-sided robe only covering her front and back, rolls her eyes and snaps her fingers. Black matter envelopes the Cures... but immediately melts the paste that stuck them together. The Cures gently step away from each other)
Obnoxious girl:So? Baiser-Sama? What are we gonna do with them? They don't seem like much to me...
Magia Baiser:Hmm... y-you're right. W-W-Well... hehe... y-you girls are... w-w-welcome to stay with us... i-i-if you like...!
Leopard:Aww... didja have to let them go so soon, Baiser-Chan...?
Magia Baiser:Hibiki-San... w-w-where did you find these girls...? A-A-Are they new...?
Hibiki:Yup. We picked up magical energy over near the warehouses. They could transform too, took out Lum pretty quickly. They called themselves the... Pretty Cure?
(Magia Baiser lets out a squeal through her closed lips and her friends' eyes widen as well. Baiser's mouth curls into a smile and her already rosy cheeks turn redder)
Magia Baiser:Y-Y-Y-Y-You're... t-the... P-Pretty Cure...?!
Hana:Y-Yes... d-do you know us?
Magia Baiser:Y-YES! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN! I LOVE YOU, AND EVERYTHING YOU DO!
(As Magia Baiser gushes over them, Ichika notices that the Glitter Force sigh in defeat, as if Baiser knowing their identity was a bad thing)
Magia Baiser:A Pretty Cure! I wondered when we'd get one of you!
Himari:Y-Y-You're... our fans...?
Magia Baiser:YES! All of you are just so cute... and cool! Haaaahhh... I wish I were one of you...
Hikaru:Thank you...! I-I-I'm flattered, honestly... hehe... it's weird and nice to meet a fan...
Aoi:How do you know us so well?
Magia Baiser:Every once in a while,I do get a Magical Girl through here. I justlovethose little darlings, don't you? Positive... upbeat... optimistic... like you.
Hana:There's more of us? Great! W-Where are they?
(Magia Baiser licked her lips seductively, her shy demeanor turning a 180. She slowly approached Hana, and cupped her chin)
Magia Baiser:I'm so glad you came here... I can finally enjoy somerealMagical Girls...
(The Pretty Cures' faces dropped... they could feel the threatening aura surrounding Magia Baiser. Something about her knowing they're Pretty Cure flipped a switch in her head.
Leberblume smiled, the Cures took notice of her sharp teeth)
Leberblume:Hehe~ I can't wait to play with them...
Hana:W-What do... y-you mean by that...?
Magia Baiser:I love Magical Girlssomuch... I... I just wanna feel their... smooth, soft skin... and... do... a lot of things to them...
(Baiser predatorially brushes Hana's cheek, and curls her long purple nails against her chin)
Hana:S-Stop... p-please...
Aoi:What are you doing?! Get your hands off her, you creep!
Leopard:Aha! That's what they all say!
(Baiser stops and strides over to the Glitter Force)
Magia Baiser:And I've been trying to find this Glitter Farce for years... haven't I, Emily?
(Baiser gently scratches Emily's cheek with her fingernail)
Magia Baiser:Ohh... pick the wrong time to make new friends?
(The obnoxious girl with maroon twintail hair and teal highlights, with an admiral cap and an open sailor outfit with a bikini, smiled snarkily at the Pretty Cure)
Loco Musica:Ahahaha! Thanks for delivering them to us! At least you girls are good for something!
Pekorin:Hmph! Kelsey-Chan and April-Chan told us all about you-peko!
Aoi:Maybe shut up now...
April:Yeah... maybe don't...
Pekorin:B-But you were right-peko! She's a megalomaniacal psychotic a-hole. Very into domination and pain-peko!
(Loco Musica silently agrees, Leberblume curls her lips in almost respect, Leopard glares at the Glitter Force for insulting her BFF, while Magia Baiser just turns to them... a little amused)
Magia Baiser:You said all of that about me?
April:No... NO! I didn't say any of that!
Pekorin:Why is she scaring you-peko? You were so serious about what you said-peko! And you're right-peko!
"This finger-licking dead inside pixie-slab of third-rate dime store nut milk can eat your delicious cinnamon ring and kick rocks all the way to Domme heck"-peko!
(The astronaut and knight look at each other, Michiru and Kaoru blush in surprise at the insults, while Hibiki raises her eyebrows and furrows her lips)
Kelsey:W-We have never said any of those words in our entire life!
Pekorin:A little... graphic-peko. They used bad words, but it's true-peko! April-Chan and Kelsey-Chan are great at insults! I never thought someone could be so rude-peko!
April:WHAT?! I-I-I don't know what half of that means!
Himari:Um...
(Himari blushes from secondhand embarrassment as April and Kelsey stammer relentlessly... trying to get words out)
April:What? I didn't... she's... that's... I-I... I... I don't-
(Before April or Kelsey could finish... Magia Baiser smiled, showing her sadistic and fanged smile, then pinched her fingers together... ripping the flesh right off the Glitter Force.
The Pretty Cures eyes widen in horror, and they can't do anything but gasp.
The Glitter Force remain frozen as their meaty skeletons remain standing... blinking twice as blood glugs out of their mouths... before collapsing into a pile of bones and viscera...)
Hana:AHHHHHHH! W-WHAT?! N-NO!
Aoi:YOU STUPID FAIRY, YOU JUST GOT THEM FREAKING KILLED!
(Thunder rumbles softly in the distance. Magia Baiser shushes the grieving, screaming, or panicking Cures and Fairies softly)
Magia Baiser:Shh... Alioth is hungry...
Hana:P-P-Please don't hurt us...! W-W-We need to get out of here... there's a really mean lady who's gonna destroy our timeline... and we need to stop her!
Magia Baiser:Oh darling... you don't strike me as the world saving type...
(Hana remains silent, her face filling with something other than optimism. Magia Baiser immediately senses this and whirls around)
Magia Baiser:Did I strike a nerve? Hm?
Ichika:Please just help us... a-all of our friends are in danger... a-and we can't stop Paradigm alone...
Magia Baiser:Well... like I said earlier... every once in a while, there would be a Magical Girl who came by... they needed help, they were positive, optimistic, and kind like you... but none of those Magical Girl teams were as strong as us... except maybe the Pretty Cure! Now we could be truly terrifying together...
Aoi:You're that scary, huh?
Magia Baiser:The TVA certainly thought so. They sent us here before we fought anyone other than the Tres Magia... and you know it was the best thing that happened to me. I love it here!
Lala:You live in a garbage dump-lun...
Magia Baiser:To you, yes. But The Void is a paradise. I can wield my power and fulfill my desires here... without shame. I can truly show my love for Magical Girls WHENEVER I WANT!
Ciel:Then why did you kill them?! And where are these other Magical Girls?!
Loco Musica:Heh. You're gonna wish you hadn't asked that...
Magia Baiser:I love my darling Magical Girls so much... let's see... ah!
I'd string them up, strip them, humiliate them, beat them, caress them... fondle them...touchthem, d-do... hehe... other things...
(The Pretty Cures eyes widened as they were filled with dread. They finally understood what kind of love Magia Baiser meant... sadistic love...
Magia Baiser's eyes softened eerily. Her cheeks bright red, her smile twisted into a nervous and perverted smile, and she started to drool)
Magia Baiser:I'd DO UNSPEAKABLE THINGS TO THEM! USE THEM! TORTURE THEM! WATCH THEM WRITHE, SQUEAL, CRY, BEG! OHHH IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!
(Magia Baiser's eyes widened with insanity. Her star-shaped pupils flashed brightly and glowed. She grinned sadisticly, now completely mad)
Magia Baiser:But... all of them were so... weak.
Hikaru:H-H-How...?
Magia Baiser:I'd punish them for hours on end... hehe... a-after I would finish... p-p-pleasing myself... I'd give them to my friends to use for a while. But after a couple days they'd either become masochists or just lose their will entirely... they're Magical Girls yet they fall so easily?! Where's their dignity?!
Soon, they'd become my slaves... or they'd just become meat puppets. If that happens, I will feed them to Alioth... or give them to my henchmen.
(The Cures' eyes dulled... hearing what Magia Baiser did to Magical Girls... they didn't even want to imagine it)
Hikaru:Y-YoukilledMagical Girls...?!
Magia Baiser:Hehehehehee...AHAHAHAHAHAHA!WHETHER THEY DIE OR NOT IS UP TO THEM!
Lala:You break their will-lun! And they're just teenagers like you and me-lun!
Magia Baiser:Oh... you think so? But they're Magical Girls... little girls look up to them because they're strong, independent, cool, cute, and unbreakable! Is that how the world would want to see their idols?
Lala:But you don't give them a choice-lun!
Hana:W-What happened to them...?
Magia Baiser:I've punished a ton over the past couple months... My own darling Tres Magia... a girl named Madoka... a sailor Magical Girl... the DokiDoki Glitter Force... the Six Hearts Princesses... and a little girl they called the Cardcaptor...
Hehe... I-I keep their... c-clothes as trophies... they still have their scent on them...!
(The Pretty Cures' eyes widen in horror as they see a pile of outfits that belonged to fallen Magical Girls... and what scared them the most... five outfits that looked similar to the DokiDoki Cures...)
Magia Baiser:Of course... we did have some of your friends come down here... never mind though, no... they weren't like you. They fell just as easily, and now... ahahaha! They work for me!
(Magia Baiser pointed to some female henchmen appearing. Of course, the Cures recognized the former Pretty Cure villains, however, some of them caught their eye...
Kaoru, Michiru, Eas, Regina, Queen Mirage, Twilight, and a heavily wounded Cure Supreme)
Hana:T-T-Those are... former Precures...
Leopard:Heehee! Either Alioth eats them... or I kill them! Either works for me! I need those pigs out of the picture anyways!
(Leopard grinned at the Pretty Cure, but they could see the anger in her eyes... hidden behind her empty eyes and fake cute smile)
Leopard:What about your Magical Girls? Did they protect you? Did they make you feelsafe?!
Aoi:We're Magical Girls... we're never safe...
(Aoi transformed into Cure Gelato, retracted her claws, and charged at Magia Basier... only for Magia Baiser to laugh manically and stop Cure Gelato with a simple finger wave. Then she buried her into the ground and dragged her across the concrete by flicking her finger)
Hana:D-D-Don't hurt me! P-Please...! We have no problem... w-we just wanna go home...
(Hana tears up, making Magia Baiser smile softly again)
Magia Baiser:Welllllll... Icanget you home...
(The Cures' eyes light up with hope)
Hana:Really?! Good!
Magia Baiser:But... I don't want to!
Hana:Notgood...!
(Hana gasped and groaned in pain... something was heavily throbbing inside her head)
Magia Baiser:It's no fun when you want to leave so soon! Hehehe... I think it's punishment time!
(The Cures take a step back, not realizing Leberblume had manifested behind Hana... engulfing her shadow... and now moving her fingers inside her head)
Leberblume:What do you want... Hana Nono?
Hana:W-Why... can't I move...?! H-How are you... IN MY HEAD?!
Leberblume:Nice catch... my powers can manipulate, control, and puppeteer anyone by their shadow!
(Leberblume squeezes her hand inside Hana's head, making her cry and pant in pain)
Leberblume:But in order to do that...I need to get my hands dirty...
(Leberblume sneered with her sharp-toothy grin, enjoying making Hana feel pain as she began to enter her mind. Hana could see flashes of her memories from when they were in the Miracle Light Factory... to when she first became a Precure, and everything in-between.
Hana's mind echoed as she felt a hand grab her... and she was back in Beauty Harry's, running off because she couldn't bear to see Hugtan sick)
Homare:Wait! What's this all about?
Hana:It's... all my fault.
Hugtan is suffering because of me... I don't deserve to be Precure anymore!
Hugtan brought me so much joy... I have nothing.
Saaya:That's not true!
Hana:Yes, it is!
(Hana ripped her hand away from Homare)
Hana:I'm not like either of you!
That's why I can't transform into Precure anymore!
(Hana breathed shakily with her eyes closed tightly... feeling the pain of Hugtan's suffering within her heart. Saaya simply sighed heavily and looked at Hana)
Saaya:You'll never fucking matter...
(Hana opened her eyes and slowly turned to stare at Saaya with widened eyes)
Hana:What...?
Homare (Leberblume's voice echoing):You'll neverfuckingmatter.
(Hana started silently crying as she stared at her 'friends' with horrified eyes. Their bodies occasionally flashing back to the city and Leberblume grinning at her)
Saaya & Homare (voices synced with Leberblume):You'll...never... fucking... matter...
(Hana started breathing rapidly within the nursey room of Beauty Harry's... beginning to have a panic attack at this twisted memory.
Finally... Hana's mind was let go and she could see herself back in The Void)
Hana:They... n-never... said that...!
(Leberblume ripped her hands out of Hana, making her wince sharply in pain. Leberblume simply mocked Hana with a sing-song voice)
Leberblume:No... but I bet theythoughtit!
(Hana shook her head rapidly to get the feeling of Leberblume's hands out of her head)
Hana:You're so mean! I could also sense your mind, and it felt likeHATE!
Magia Baiser:You're so lost, Hana-Chan... and long before you came here...
(Hana's eyebrows furrowed and she took out her Pri-Heart)
Hana:Baiser-San... I'm not joking... either you help us... or we're gonna show you the power of the Precure!
(Magia Baiser simply looked at the Pri-Heart without much enthusiasm)
Magia Baiser:If you want to defeat me... it's gonna take more than a little phone, darling...
Lala:How about ten-lun?
(Suddenly, ten sharp claws impaled Magia Baiser... it was Cure Gelato. She had tunneled herself over to Magia Baiser when she was buried. Gelato growled and lifted a sputtering and gasping Magia Baiser upwards)
Ichika:That's our Gelato! Wicked strong!
Hikaru:That's our girl! Yes, you are!
(Cure Gelato smiled just as devilishly at Magia Baiser, who was gasping for breath... however... Magia Baiser's pained expression turned into an amused laugh... then she melted into a pile of candle wax.
The real Magia Baiser reappeared behind Gelato, smacking her with her four-pointed star riding crop... sending Cure Gelato hurtling towards the base. However, she caught herself and posed with her claws retracted)
Magia Baiser:Well... as much as I want to punish and humiliate you all in front of everyone...
Nero Alice?
(The blonde little girl wearing a Victorian-era blue dress and white apron with a giant white ribbon in her hair, who had been keeping quiet the whole time, stretched her hands upward... blue magic radiating off her hands)
Magia Baiser:As much as I want to... but the big guy needs to eat, and the rent is due...
(The sky started turning purple... the thunder rumbling getting louder. Magia Baiser and her friends started walking back to the Giant-Man corpse.
Magia Baiser turned around and smiled sadistically at the Cures)
Magia Baiser:By the way... you're the rent.
(Sirens surrounding the city started blaring loudly and the henchmen started screaming in fear. The astronaut looked up... then took off, the succubus next to him had a look of dread on her face... then teleported away with fiery smoke.
The vehicle crew started running into buildings, and other henchmen ran around screaming)
Henchman 1:ALIOTH!
Henchman 2:ALIOTH! RUN!
Eas:ALIOTH WARNING! RETREAT TO YOUR STATIONS!
Kaoru:ALITOH WARNING! SISTER, RUN!
Hana:Alioth...?
(Before the Cures knew what was going on, a loud warbly roar bellowed throughout the city. The Cures turned around to see a giant purple smoke cloud quickly surrounding the base... and in the center... was purple smoke forming to look like a snake skull. Its mouth, nose hole, and eyes glowed red. Thunder crashed loudly as purple lightning occasionally came out of the giant tempestuous being
The fairies and Hugtan screamed in fear as a cloud tendril approached them. Before it could strike, Ciel dove and caught the fairies in her arms.
Lala, Himari, and Piton ran towards the Giant-Man corpse as the other Cures stared at Alioth in fear)
Piton:T-That's my rocket! They must've taken it when the TVA zapped it!
(Lala wasted no time and immediately took off a panel on the rocket pack. Piton flapped into the straps as Lala used her antennas to wire and re-fuse the internal wiring.
Hikaru ducked and screamed as a cloud tendril grabbed an unlucky henchman right next to her... vaporizing him into nothing but bones with purple scorch marks)
Hikaru:W-WHAT?!
Aoi:THIS IS NOT HOW I'M GONNA DIE!
(More tendrils missed the Cures and grabbed more unlucky henchmen trying to get into the fortified buildings. Unfortunately, Hana noticed the still chained-up twins in the street too late)
Eve:O-Onee-Sama...?
Alice:GOD, PLEASE!
(Alioth's tendril immediately snatched the twins before Hana could reach them)
Hana:OH MY... MECHOKKU!
(Lala angrily zapped the rocket's wiring with her antennas... then simply resorted to kicking the rocket)
Lala:Darn it-lun! Why... won't... you... WORK?!
(Finally, the rocket sputtered as Lala and Himari clutched the rocket or Piton for dear life)
Lala:YOU COMING OR WHAT-LUN?!
Ichika:COMING!
(As Alioth turned his attention to the Pretty Cure, the Cures ran towards Piton's rocket pack and hugged each other or clung onto something... finally the rocket took off just as Alioth's tendril struck where they once were.
Alitoh roared loudly, then his face disappeared as the smoke cloud retreated.
Magia Baiser stepped out of her Giant-Man base with a look of anguish, rage, and surprise... she turned to her henchmen with wide eyes... the white stars in her pupils flashing angrily)
Magia Baiser:Find them...FIND THEM!
(Piton's rocket flies southwest of The Void... eventually sputtering out and stopping. Everyone screamed as they crash landed. The Cures and Fairies tumbled along the grass and eventually stopped in a dirt path... however... Himari nearly tumbled right into a decayed structure of barbed wire...)
Hana:Ow... Owowowow...
Aoi:Body... crushed... on top...
Hana:Mechokku! I'm sorry...
(Hana got off Aoi who was struggling to catch her breath. The Cures were relatively unharmed... at the expense of Piton's rocket pack... which had been destroyed in the violent crash)
Lala:Are you okay, Piton-lun?
Piton:I-I'm fine... boo... I'm glad we got out of there...
Ichika:(sighs)I miss when it wasn't littered with trash...
Hikaru:We're still alive! Twincool! That crazy girl nor that storm monster got us!
(Aoi sharply turned to Hana, Pekorin, and Hikaru)
Aoi:New rules...I talk now...
Hana:But I'm a talkative pers-
Aoi:SHUT THE HELL UP! Now lemme think...
(Aoi pondered for a minute as the other Cures equally questioned what they needed to do)
Aoi:Well, we need to get back to Paradigm, right?Right?
Hana:Je m'excuse...am I allowed to speak now?
Aoi:Just nod, dummy...
Hana:Ciel-San taught me that... hehe...
(Hana smiled smugly and nodded)
Aoi:Right. We need to find the others those poor American Cures were talking about,before you got them killed!
(Aoi sharply points to Pekorin)
Pekorin:B-But they told me to quote them-peko!
Aoi:If there's a chance they know how to get out, we find them... and make those TVA jerks fix our universe before it's too late...
Himari:Good plan... b-b-but... w-where do we find them...?
Aoi:April-Chan said something about them hiding out in lesser populated areas... I say we scavenge the outer rim of this island.
Also... I'm the leader now.
Hana:Aoi-Chan... we're all equals, and if anything, I'm the leader-
Aoi:I'm the strongest Precure here... so that responsibility falls upon me. Don't ya think...?
Himari:N-No wonder Aoi-Chan is a Lion...!
Chourou:So... how do we find these others-jaba...?
Hana:I smell quest!
Lala:(sniffs)I smell food...
(Lala turns around... behind them is a small broken-down residential area. Its main attraction seems to be a fast-food place, noticeably a burger with eyes and a tongue was on top of the sign.
The Cures start walking to the residential area in the trashy mountainous region)
To be continued...
