Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Looking at "Ash" lying silently in front of her, the girl instinctively raised her hands to cup her cheeks, her pupils trembling violently and her mouth wide open, while her expression gradually slid into the abyss of collapse.

He's clearly a "devil" who's destroying the world, doing inexplicable things to us, and looking down on me and pointing fingers at me...

But he is such a "big bad guy".

To protect yourself.

Let that thing happen again in front of you.

“Ah ...

“Ash—!!!”

Facing the "corpse" of Ash in front of her, the overlapping scenes from the past made her eyes "dead", and the girl's expression became more and more broken as she let out a loud scream from her throat.

Why, I really wanted to defeat him, but I never thought it would turn out like this... Why did it turn out like this!!!

"Humph."

A disdainful snort came from not far away, and the red-haired man in tight clothes walked out from the shadows with his hands put away. He was the Phantom Queen's direct subordinate, the Phantom Empire's strongest killer "Phantom".

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to kill..."

To be honest, even I was a little surprised. It was so simple that I began to wonder if this guy was pretending.

Phantom, who had watched Ash's entire battle, was no fool. He could naturally feel the extent of Ash's destructive power, so he took the initiative to propose the Phantom Queen's plan to lure him into joining the group.

But now, if the Queen has to be hostile to Ash for personal reasons, Phantom will of course choose to use some despicable means to defeat him if there is a chance.

I just didn't expect that such a powerful enemy would fall into the trap so easily... No, it's mainly because of that, right?

Looking at the Pretty Cure kneeling in front of "Ash" and trembling all over, the man who could remain calm no matter what happened now had a smug smile on his face.

"If you want to blame someone, blame your sudden kindness."

Even Her Majesty the Queen would feel such pain from this powerful enemy. If I had been acting like an unpredictable evil demon, I really wouldn't have been able to find any opportunities. Who told you to be a good person and take the initiative to confront him?

"Such a troublesome and powerful enemy has been eliminated." The accumulated worries from previous troubles encountered in various countries were finally released after defeating the annoying enemy for the Phantom Queen. "Now quickly return and report to the Queen. She will surely be delighted to hear it."

What? You're asking about a Pretty Cure here? Ha, she's just a lone figure after all. I can always come back and take care of her.

"you..."

Phantom, in a good mood, originally planned to let Cure Fortune on the ground go, but the result was contrary to his wishes.

The girl, trembling all over, whether with anger or excitement, slowly stood up from the ground. Behind her gaze piercing from the shadows, the expression she faced him was infinitely gloomy and terrifying, something she had never seen before.

"Are you...kidding me——!!!"

This person, yes, it’s also this man in red, the guy who attacked my sister before!

“What the hell—?!”

He had never imagined or seen Pretty Cure reveal such a terrifying expression, like that of a Prajna demon. Phantom was even stunned when she rushed towards him with all her strength. By the time he reacted and hurriedly raised his arms to protect himself, he was knocked into the wall behind him by the huge impact.

What’s going on... This speed and strength are simply beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Pretty Cure!

"Am I careless?!"

The phantom gnashed his teeth and pulled himself out of the wall behind him. When he raised his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him that was shaken up by the impact, he finally saw the distorted expression on Iona's face with bulging veins and all the resentment pouring out.

Did she see Decade die saving her, so she's angry and wants revenge on me for him? That doesn't seem right... That expression seems to be full of resentment directed specifically at me, but I don't even know her?

"What an ugly expression! Can you still be considered a Pretty Cure like this?"

Words like viciousness, brutality, and hatred, even if they refer to an enemy, I know that they have nothing to do with Pretty Cure.

"Shut up--!!"

As mentioned earlier, the girl's expression when facing him was as terrifying as a demon.

"Do you still remember? The name Cure Tender!!"

Hearing the girl's angry question, the phantom, who had been indifferent at first, raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about Pretty Cure?"

I've defeated so many Pretty Cure girls, how can I remember everyone's name?

Really? You can't remember? It just so happens... I was originally thinking I'd never forgive you!

"My name is Cure Fortune...you've taken someone important from you!"

Now, you've done the same thing to me again, and I can't stand it anymore!

As she fell silent, the phantom's expression gradually grew more alert, and a dark purple aura with a hint of gloom gradually emerged from the girl's entire body, enveloping her.

So... even if I look ugly, or even if I'm overwhelmed by negativity and don't look like a Pretty Cure, it's okay! Give me all your strength!

"I'm going to knock you down—"

The tremendous power transformed from anger was injected into the girl's fist, and she charged towards the phantom in the most direct and merciless manner.

“Today, here!!!”

Chapter 27: Ash (who is not dead at all) is resurrected!

The only thing that remained in the eyes of the girl with red eyes was the enemy she had to defeat.

The senior official of the Phantom Empire who calls himself "Pretty Cure Hunter" has been defeating Pretty Cure girls all over the world and sealing them away for a long time. He is the worst enemy for people like Iona.

One of the reasons why he easily ignited the fuse of conflict with Ash was that what he did reminded Iona of bad memories to some extent...but now!

"You said I was bound by my own fate..."

Even if I just resign myself to fate as you say, I will be here, for my sister and the defeated Pretty Cure, for myself... and for you, to defeat him completely!

Humans are upright creatures with only two fists and two legs, but in front of the phantom with horror on his face, he clearly saw countless fists and feet attacking from different angles, like an overwhelming rain of explosions that was about to drown him.

Is this the kind of attack a Pretty Cure can pull off?!

“Chester—!!!”

Since childhood, she has been practicing karate from her grandfather, the master of a dojo. The exquisiteness of each move has been integrated into every step of Hikawa Iona's movement through day-to-day training.

Therefore, even in the situation where all attacks were filled with anger at this moment, each blow of these angry fists infused with skill was stronger than the previous one, which immediately made the "Phantom" with rich combat experience feel a tricky feeling.

"The power is still increasing!?" Phantom kept adjusting the gauntlet on his left arm to block the opponent's increasingly fast attacks. To this day, he never thought that he would be suppressed by a mere Pretty Cure.

He knew, of course, that Pretty Cure was a "psychic" warrior who could grow stronger or weaker with the changes in her mind and emotions—but could you achieve this with just your angry heart?

"Pretty Cure Hunter 'Phantom', this day next year will be your anniversary!"

Straight punches, inside punches, knife hands, and high-legged kicks aimed at the temple. Even though the girl's moves were not inaccurate, they no longer had the beauty of the past. There was only some kind of most direct and wild collision that kept exploding on the arm of the phantom's block, making him retreat repeatedly without any chance to fight back.

However, the completely suppressed phantom did not show any anxiety. Instead, he observed the angry girl with narrowed eyes.

She is indeed stronger than all the Pretty Cures I have defeated before. The power after her explosion even forced me to avoid her.

It's a strong quality...but, it's precisely because of this anxiety that the flaws are getting bigger and bigger.

A Pretty Cure with a mere outburst of rage is nothing to be afraid of!

Seeing that the other party had been completely suppressed by her, the girl raised her hand and turned the "Light Love Bracelet" on her wrist, condensing all the purifying power in her body and holding it in her hand.

Gathering starlight energy of the same color as the universe in her palm, the girl burned fiercely between her fingers like a fire. She roared angrily and poured all her strength into her flaming fist, smashing it down at the phantom in front of her without hesitation.

"Fortune Star Burst!"

"boom--!"

The skill dedicated to close-range explosive output exploded violently between the girl's fist and the enemy. Looking at the billowing smoke left behind where the phantom had been, the girl, whose fist was a little charred, showed joy for a moment.

"Great, I defeated—!"

However, before she could maintain this joy for more than half a second, a sudden noise from behind made her smile freeze on her face, followed by a piercing pain from her kidneys.

"what--!"

The girl screamed and was knocked away, crashing into the wire mesh on the other side. When she collapsed limply on the ground, she finally saw the phantom standing behind her.

What's going on... Oh, I clearly remembered that he could use a move like teleportation... I actually didn't notice it! This is... What a blunder!!!

"Hmph, you're just a Pretty Cure fighting for something as frivolous as dreams and love." Retracting the burning red light from his hand, the indifferent Phantom walked over to the girl, who looked resentful. "You've always been like this. Even if you fight me now with an outburst of rage and resentment, you're no match for me."

The power that was temporarily unleashed by a burst of courage and rage was indeed powerful, but it also had obvious weaknesses and was no match for me.

"Ouch..." The reckless blow, infusing all her strength into it, had left Iona with no strength left except for resentment. But even this stubborn girl refused to give in. "I must defeat you. For the sake of others, and to save the person I love most!"

"That's all very nice to say, but you can't do anything right now." The palms held out before the girl ignited a red glow, reflecting the girl's unwilling expression. "Just lament your immaturity for challenging me with such reckless emotions, and then disappear."

"Woo..."

Looking at the light of "despair" getting closer and closer, no matter how unyielding she is or how unwilling she is to admit it, the girl can only accept the fact that she can no longer do anything other than cry out in failure.

Sister, I'm sorry...

"I don't have any power right now..."

Ash, you said that I was bound by fate from the past.

Well, now I am unwilling to accept my companions, unable to see the future, and end up like this.

That's right, I have no qualifications at all...Is this my true destiny as someone who dreams of becoming a Pretty Cure to avenge others?

"Hey, don't insult Pretty Cure like that."

After all, I watched them grow up. If you look down on those real Precures casually, I would be very embarrassed.

The sudden interruption of the voice made the girl who was crying silently open her eyes wide, and the phantom let go of his hand and jumped back quickly at a distance as if he had seen a ghost.

How could this be, damn Decade! I killed you with my own hands!

"It's right in front of me."

Yazheng was sitting casually on the ground with one arm resting on his knees, and he raised his hand to shake the card he was holding at Phantom.

[AttackRide Illusion!]

"I'm perfect."

So, in the split second before being attacked, I used my clone to take the damage, then sat back and watched, letting you be my "substitute," so that the stubborn girl could understand her true nature through actual combat...

Of course it can be done!

Chapter 28: Ash is more than just a name

When Ash and Kamen Rider Decade appeared in front of him intact and raised their hands to greet him, Phantom realized that he... no, everyone had been deceived by the other party!

My feeling was right! Sure enough! This guy can't be killed so easily!

"Is all this part of your calculation?!"

And those Pretty Cures I was planning to defeat recently, now that they see I can't beat them, they run away faster than the other one! It's impossible for me to catch up with them and seal them away. Is this also your doing?

"I don't have the ability to predict the future, so don't make it sound so mysterious."

Your expression is like you're asking me questions about other Pretty Cure... After all, you just got beaten up and educated by me, and you have some psychological trauma, so it's only natural that you learned a little bit, right?

In response to the enemy's heartfelt "accusations", Ash is always happy to "defend" himself.

"It's just that your development is too easy to predict, so I just try to adapt to the situation."

The so-called strategic planning in battle means estimating the distance one or two steps more than the opponent.

Ash stood up from the ground and even snapped his fingers at him when he was excited. The more relaxed Ash looked, the uglier the Phantom's expression became.

For some reason, I saw a strange giant shadow from behind the pink demon, seemingly dragging itself into the air, infinitely demonic... No, was that really just an illusion?!

It’s not that he was afraid of this man...well, maybe a little, but he believed that he could get through it with his loyalty to the Phantom Queen. It’s just that the relaxed, or more accurately, confident look on this man’s face was too weird.

I didn't show anything, but my sharp intuition made me feel like I was dancing in his palm the whole time... What's wrong with me? Why am I already feeling fear before the fight even starts? Is it because of his pressure?!

The cadres of the villain organization actually felt terror from others... How ironic it is.

"Besides, you don't really think it's that easy to kill me, do you?"

No matter what he thought, Ash was now really going to end it all.

"With your skills, you think you can attack me from behind?"
