Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

My desire right now may not be enough, but now that I have cheered up, the remaining residue is enough to help the person I want to help!

"[Ta·To·Ba, TaToBa, Ta·To·Ba!]"

Accompanied by a strange and passionate singing voice, the three-colored "Kamen Rider Ooo (Oz)", a knight who fights by combining the power of desire coins representing the characteristics of various animals, appeared for the first time in the paradise belonging to the Pretty Cure.

(BGM: Regret nothing ~Tighten Up~)

"Transform—" After transforming into a protective form, Ayumi, now lying on the ground in a thin skirt of light, stared at the knight in front of her with her mouth wide open in shock. "Even A transformed?!"

"Did the belt sing just now? Is this Taka Tora Batta referring to its current appearance?"

"The song isn't the point. This is OOO (Oz), the me now."

He picked up the makeup box that had exploded at his feet, put it back into Ayumi's hand, and then helped her stand up from the ground as she almost stumbled.

"Now, stand up, warrior! Are you ready to join me in avenging the shame of your previous defeat?"

"Do we have a chance of winning this time?" The still somewhat tattered pure white battle suit was put on again and went into battle. The fear and timidity after the failure still existed in the girl's eyes, but the more overwhelming emotion was the warm trust in the person in front of her.

After all, it was A who responded to me.

"Whether there is hope or not depends on you."

After saying that, the two of them separated and quickly retreated. Perhaps because he couldn't stand the scene of the two "showing affection" on the battlefield, the octopus monster's tentacles flew out from the place where they were previously close.

More tentacles attacked rapidly, the tiger emblem on the round shield in the center of the chest lit up, and the tiger claws on the arms flipped and unfolded. With the swift dance of A's hands, an airtight encirclement net was swung in front of him, cutting all the attacking tentacles into octopus balls.

"Roar--!"

Golden Phoenix Thunder, brimming with destructive force, hurled its flames and steel feathers at the two in a blanket of blows. The emerald green locust emblem illuminated once more, and A's legs transformed into powerful, leaping, reverse-jointed locust legs. Turning and hugging his waist, A leaped into the air, stamping against the walls and ceiling like a true locust, dodging the seemingly inescapable space with improbable angles.

The emerald green compound eyes like an eagle lit up and swept across the three monsters in front of him. Although it sounded a bit foolish to fight two against three given his and Ayumi's current poor condition, these guys were just copies without self after all, and there was no hope for us to do it!

I don’t know whether I will win, but at least I won’t lose easily!

"Ayumi, listen carefully, remember what you're going to do next—!"

"I, I'll do my best!"

After giving the instructions, A in mid-air released her hand, and inertia carried the girl like a bullet out of a gun towards the direction of Golden Phoenix Thunder. The fist that fell from the sky hit the face of the monster who had no time to retract his punch. Then the girl, who was breathing rapidly, punched continuously, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe!

The two people who understood each other's thoughts chose the enemy that best suited them. A, crouching on the ground and running like a beast, quickly approached Ortega. The flexibility of his feet allowed him to avoid the strange sword, and his sharp tiger claws could bypass the shield and continuously tear the enemy behind him into pieces to hunt.

"clang!"

A, who was trying to cut down the enemy in front of him, suddenly retracted his arm, drew out the Holy Emblem Sword and put it behind his back. Then, from the violent vibration on the sword, it seemed that the one coming was the madly attacking natural disaster. The Holy Emblem Sword and the magic sword in its hand collided again and again, demonstrating the intensity of the battle from all directions.

The threat level of natural disasters is undoubtedly the greatest among the three. At least A does not want to be hit by a "disaster attack" and die on the spot.

The sharp claws in his left hand blocked the tentacles of the octopus, and the long sword in his right hand could only continue to entangle with the magic sword of Megiddo. It was very difficult for A to persist in fighting one against two. After all, there was no sunset here and he was not Ultraman Jack.

Even after transforming into OOO, his internal weakness still made him fight in a rather awkward position, and he was defeated step by step in front of the pair of magic swords.

On the other side, Ayumi fought again after being injured. Even if she suppressed the opponent, it was quite difficult for her to continue to output. Ayumi, who had no way to retreat, stood back to back with A, and in front of them was the enemy who was eyeing her covetously.

Golden Phoenix Thunder unleashed a fiery blaze, and the strangely burning "Disaster Invasion" also gathered on the sword of natural disasters. Demonic power filled Ortega's entire body.

The attacks from both sides were launched at the same time to attack the two of them. When they were about to be hit and fall to the ground, A and Ayumi suddenly fell to the ground together. The hole opened under their feet made the two of them fall down instantly. After the cadres' decisive moves lost their targets, they hit each other directly.

It turned out that it was the perspective ability of the compound eyes on the head of the OOO red falcon that allowed A to discover this underground cave long ago. So after exchanging information with Ayumi, he decided to deliberately lead the enemy here, creating the current chance of victory.

"Ayumi, swap!"

"anytime!"

Standing in front of Zao and Ortega who were all on fire, Ayumi, who was sore all over, still raised her palms to gather all the strength into her hands, and shouted angrily as she pushed the torrent of purifying energy towards the monster.

Use the "O Scan Ring" to sweep the "OOO Drive" again, and three core coins jump out from the waist. A's legs are transformed into recurved "locust legs" and he jumps up and spreads his red wings in the air. He ignores the fireworks thrown by the enemy around him, passes through the red, yellow and green halo in front of him in the air, and kicks the monster's chest with both feet!

“Go to hell (Seiya)!!!”

At this moment, the battle cries of the boy and girl merged into one and burst out.

Chapter 25: Flower of the Heart of Tears

In front of the Nasta Café, which had already closed, the former manager was fighting with the current manager and a staff member.

The bonus that the quadruple genetic armament brought to Timmons was obvious. His constantly spinning anti-jointed feet kicked away the two men's sudden attacks, and the steel feathers on his back allowed him to always create distance at the critical moment. The Anomalocaris fist armor on his hands made it difficult for the two battle-hardened Pretty Cure to deal with him.

But these were not the most troubling things for the girls. The real problem came from Timmons' attitude at the moment. At least Lily was completely furious.

"Why do you have to use this posture? It's obviously the worst for your health!"

Not only have you wantonly trampled on my heart and everyone's trust, but now you've completely disregarded our feelings, fighting even at the cost of your own life. Don't you know how sad and tearful we are for your suffering?!

Or do you still find pleasure in seeing us in pain and disbelief? It's a good thing the Dark Pretty Cure isn't here, or else you'd have tricked her all over again!

And those other kids, you actually lied to them too, right?!

Okay, since you want to see it so much, I’ll let you see it enough now!

Erika, who had just wiped her red and swollen eyes and was about to struggle to stand up, was stunned by the purple moon shadow that rushed past her like a tornado.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

It sounded like the sound of a cannonball exploding, blasting out from the distorted air between the collision of the two men's hands and feet.

Abandoning his previous swift, precise and elegant fighting style, he abandoned defense and fought desperately with Timmons, whose hands and feet were all deformed. Moonlight's cold face was now ignited by anger, and veins on his forehead were bulging.

After learning about the side effects of the belt from Kain, who had been resurrected, Yueying Lily remembered that the store manager's health had indeed been getting worse for a period of time. Recalling the past battles, she suddenly felt indescribable regret.

So now, when Lily saw the person in front of her doing the quadruple gene fusion without hesitation, she was really furious.

You have been playing with other people's hearts all the time! Even if you are on the opposite side of the fence, you still want others to be sad about you!

"You don't value your body, do you? Bastard!"

The tall girl, so angry that she even cursed out loud, raised her high heels, which were stained with purple light, and kicked the knight's chin with a loud bang.

You... just like to play games with us, right? So this time is actually no different from the previous ones, right?

In that case, I'll come and play with you to your heart's content now!

"I will fight until my heart is full!"

At worst, I can just break both of his legs and take him back!

"Moonlight Silver Impact!"

With one hand, she used a silver energy wave to hit Timmons' face. Lily was even beginning to feel excited when she saw that she was about to knock "Ash" down again. At this moment, the scorpion tail on the opponent's back suddenly bounced up from the ground, and the whole person turned over Lily's head like a half moon, and even missed the attack of the silver shock wave.

"what!"

The scorpion's tail stinger shot out from mid-air and turned around to knock Lily to the ground. Although the protection of the battle suit quickly eliminated the poison, the pain it brought still made Lily scream.

She made a mistake.

The overly impatient attack even made her completely lose her usual composure. The result of seemingly suppressing Timmons was that she fell into the trap easily.

"Pretty Cure Buttocks Punch!"

She flew over and slammed Timmons in the face with her butt, knocking him back. Without caring about the fear of being caught and spanked before, Erika hurriedly helped Lily up from the ground, but as soon as she stood up, she was about to rush over to fight him again.

"What are you doing, Lily!" Erika, with a terrified expression, quickly grabbed Lily's skirt to prevent her from leaving. "We should attack together now, calm down!"

Erika had never thought that there would be a day when she would have to step on the brakes herself.

"Calm down! How can you expect me to calm down? Where is the resurrected Ash right now?"

"I'm worried about Ash, too!" Erika, who usually doesn't like the way things are, suddenly grabbed Lily and yelled at her. "I don't know what he's thinking, Erika, but you're only going to make him more disappointed! This isn't like Lily at all!"

Lily stopped when she heard this, and her raised hand fell down weakly. Erika looked up again and could see a sense of grievance and sadness in the expression of this high school Pretty Cure.

"But...but I like him. It's so hard to see him again. I want him to come back..."

"Gu..."

Erika also had an aggrieved expression on her face, wanting to cry but not daring to. The blurred tears in her eyes were the love that existed in her heart even though she didn't admit it.

I, I am obviously the same...

Obviously, shouldn't this kind of feeling make both parties feel happy and joyful? Why, why is it like this... Is it because we haven't done enough?

"tread."

Standing behind the two men, Timmons did not make a move, but just stood there.

It seemed to be silently saying, "Show me the progress you have made during this period."

So, after being released, the two of them regained their unity and fulfilled his wish.

"Drink ah ah ah -"

Erika's punches and Yuri's kicks, the two's successive combos continuously pushed Timmons back. At this time, they were not fighting alone. Rei, Itsuki, and the entire Pretty Cure Group were fighting side by side with the two of them!

The two people cooperated seamlessly to make up for each other's flaws, and finally overwhelmed Timmons in the quadruple superposition state head-on with their full strength. They waved the magic wand in their hands to rotate the crystal in the middle, and Erika also threw the ultimate move containing all her intentions at him.

"[Pretty Cure Blue Forte Wave]!!"

After the huge aqua-blue bud hit the knight, it blossomed into a gorgeous white cyclamen behind Timmons, who had his arms outstretched. Perhaps it was because he sensed the intention behind it, but "Ash" didn't struggle and just let Erika's purifying power eliminate the malice in it.

"This is the end—"

Leaving her legs loose and bending down, Moonlight Lily sat on the waist of Timmons who was lying on the ground. She pulled at the belt and tried to take it off but failed. Then she drew out her magic wand and was about to stab the belt with the crystal tip.

"pat-"

The Moonlight Magic Wand slipped from Lily's loosened hands and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The crystal clear crystal wheel in the center of the staff also reflected the scene of trembling hands supporting the knight's chest, and dripping tears falling and flowing along the spider web patterns.

"Wow, wow, wow—I can't do this, Ash..."

She remembered the time when she and Lei gave up on Ash in the planet city.

No—I can’t do it!

"Manager, I can't do this..."

No matter what, I can't fight you with the pure attitude that the manager expects.

I already can't...

“Woo—woo—woo—”

Tears kept flowing from the purple-haired girl's tightly closed eyes. Her shoulders were shaking violently, and her hands, which were clutching the knight's breastplate, kept exerting force, as if trying to give herself some warmth.

Lily's sobs were soft, and her chest, which rose and fell violently with each breath, symbolized the pressure she was under.

As her sobbing continued to spread along with the cycle of grief, she felt something warm gently brushing past her eyes, taking away those sad tears.

"You're such a crybaby, Lily."

"Manager...?"

The familiar voice beneath her made Lily mutter his name blankly. The response she never expected to get made her feel as if she were in another world.

"Lily, you look better when you smile."

Chapter 26: There is no false HeartCatch

Timmons wiped her tears with his hands.

"I told you before, I can't be the person who guides you in your heart. I can't even control myself."

"But at least I can wipe your tears for you."

A strange yet familiar feeling surged into my heart as the touch brushed past the corner of my eyes.

It felt like going back to the time when Ash was still the manager of Nasta Café and was still there to support her.

The eccentric store manager who is always making a fuss, who prefers to trick others into trying out his weird new products rather than running the business properly, who always likes to bully Rei and Itsuki, and finds ways to tease Yuri and Erika, but who always gives them support at the critical moment after every battle, and brings home-like warmth to the team.

This feeling of regaining what was lost made Lily feel as if she had returned to that day again, when she was completely despairing and was with Ash, and he reached out to help her...

"Woo, huh—wooo..." The girl, panting rapidly, quickly raised her hands left and right to try to wipe away the traces of her crying. However, the more she did so, the more the pain brought by the joy made her tears flow out. The sobbing sounds could not stop flowing from her suppressed throat, and soon both sides of her cheeks were covered with dark red tear marks.

"Manager...Ash? The one in front of me now is the real Ash, right?"
