A weird fairy-like monster wrecking havoc at a bake sale was nothing out of the ordinary to Miyuki. The weird part came when the creature made it clear it was the cakes themselves it was targetting, and was not just eating everything in sight to plunge the people who baked them into despair or something similar. Now that was quite the unique motive to go on a rampage!
In a town so far away from Nanairogaoka, Miyuki assumed she was the only Precure present. She hid under one of the tables, and transformed there. But just as her metamorphose was reaching completion, she heard a voice calling out at the monster. One she didn’t know.
Cure Gelato! Ready to serve!
Happy knocked the table over - hurting her head in the process- as she sprang up to see who she that new warrior. The sudden contact with the table made her see stars - so much for a superpowered alter ego! - but the second she snapped out of it, she saw her. A blue Precure. Younger than her of course. With animal ears? She was adorable! But now wasn’t the perfect time to gush over how cute that new… “kohai” was. Defeating the monster took priority.
The enemy gulped down several dozens of pots of quince jelly, and it turned into a huge pile of what it just ate. Its body got transparent, more orange, and somehow really ugly when you compared it to the relatively adorable critter it was seconds ago.
The monster was turning its back to Happy as it exchanged some jabs with Cure Gelato - which she seemed to succesfuly avoid. Alright! Now was the time for her cool entrance, Happy thought! Better make the best first impression to the newbie! Cure Happy rose her fist and charged at the monster’s back, attempting to strike it by surprise.
… But when she tried to hit, she passed right through the jelly that made up its body.
She came out of the monster’s body as suddenly as she entered it, now covered of a gross sticky substance that didn’t even smell like jelly… But she didn’t have the time to worry about that. What happened a split second later was the cause of much more trouble.
With the momentum of her charge, she might have spared herself an embarrassing situation where she got stuck in the monster’s belly. But that left her with no time to lower her fist when she darted out of the enemy’s body.
The next thing Cure Happy knew, her fist was lodged into the younger Precure’s stomach.
From the shock of the full blown impact, Cure Gelato was propelled backward, stopping her course in the remains of one of the tents the evil fairy wrecked.
Happy ran to her side as fast as she could. There was a certain number of ways she could have screwed up her cool entrance… and fate just picked the absolute worst one for her!
“Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh, I’m so so so so sooooo sorry! Are you okay?”
‘No, those chords wouldn’t work’ She thought. The classical artistic block began to faintly but surely hit her. Desperate enough, her brain started to review all the safe-bet power chords she had stored on it but none quite seemed to fit the mood the song she had in mind. A deep sigh came out of her mouth as she lowered her head, sunk in pure disgrace and resignation.
Click! Her eyes widened like dinner plates. A sudden rush of divine illumination took her being by storm! She had it! That was... gone. Absolutely gone as screams from her surroundings returned that light to the place behind the clouds it belonged.
That surely was a henteko. Aoi’s first reaction, aside from the usual concern for the poor people, was fury, lots of fury. Just when she could touch the answer of her muse, the monster dragged her away. In fact, this now was personal as well.
Hastening her steps to hide behind a tree, the blunette reached for her Sweets Pact, clenching her teeth in anger. She didn’t really mind if she was late to a rehearsal, she would kick their butt so strong the foe would kiss the moon and fall back to earth just to meet Gelato again with the intention of sending it to the sun.
CURE A LA MODE !・DECORATION !
❝ Cure Gelato! Ready to serve! ❞ She cried out, revealing herself and fiercely lunging towards it, yet when her gloved hand clawed through its surface, what she more or less would have expected (if she wasn’t following pure instinct) happened: the only thing she got was a hand covered in jelly. Quickly reacting and dodging the strikes the latter intended to land on her, the blue cure would have to think of something else. That was, at least until her ears twitched.
Blue orbs went directly towards a table lying upside down just behind the enemy, a silhouette that reminded her of Ichika stood up. ❝ Whip — ? ❞ The realization that the unknown figure was missing some bunny ears and the will to reformulate that question were suddenly halted...
... By a hit too fast to even react to. Her body comically curved around the force she didn’t have time to even make a painful expression. The lioness went flying until gravity (and a tent) stopped her impetus.
❝ AGHHH!!! TATATATATata... ❞ Her legs were kicking the air as her tail franctically wagged in an attempt to ease the pain. Kneading her tummy, Aoi growled in aching as she waited for it to calm down. ❝ Y-Yes... ❞ Gelato lied, of course she wasn’t okay, that hurt like hell.
