Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Having seen various forms of negative energy, Ash called himself a doctor in this field. After observing the existence forms of these "shadows", Ash quickly came to a conclusion.

"These should all be violent energies—violent energies so concentrated that they are visible to the naked eye!"

But why, how is such a high concentration of energy awakened!

In a sense, these are purer than the "Terminator Monsters" that are created through energy and the help of someone's negative emotions...

"But didn't we repel the entire world's violent energy?"

Hua, who was dodging carefully, attacking and counterattacking quickly, couldn't help but feel annoyed. Even though it was easy to find ways to defeat these enemies who had no self-awareness, the seemingly unlimited number of them still made it difficult to deal with them.

"A month? Or was it a week? Showing up here again so soon doesn't make sense at all—"

"Indeed." Ash, feeling almost as nervous as Hana, carefully checked his own escape route. "Unless there's something attracting them—"

He thought again of the man named Kulei who could control and command "violent energy". Based on similar situations in other worlds, he should have paid the price of his own "broken heart" and been attracted to the violent energy like a bear smelling honey, and actively accepted it to make himself its spokesperson.

Could it be that man secretly interfering? No, I don't think that guy who saw the death of an important person and remained indifferent would dare to show up in front of me again.

"If that's the case, what on earth attracted this violent energy?"

Holding the flower, he quickly retreated to avoid the shadows in front of him who seemed to want to grab and stab him. Faced with the countless hostile beings in front of him, Ash thought quickly.

"There must be an equally negative existence to have awakened such violent energy to this degree—so what could it be?"

Is there something extremely dark, terrible, and deep around here?

Think quickly - think quickly, Ash, what is it?

"What on earth could be so alluring as to attract violent energy here...?"

Ash suddenly reacted, and instinctively supported his forehead with his right hand, his eyes widened in disbelief.

The so-called darkest place under the lamp, with the characteristics of attracting dark forces, here is one...

That is.

me!

【Bonus】Case File 101: Cutting Off the Future (4K)

It was like God was playing a joke on me.

It’s just that Ash really couldn’t laugh.

After reaching this "farce" conclusion, Ash, who forgot about fighting on the battlefield for a moment, did not notice the spike aimed at his back from Shadow's hand!

"Ash!"

Hana appeared in time and quickly stood in front of Ash, who had slowed down, and deflected all the attacks directed at him.

"What's going on? Why do these things prefer to attack Ash instead of me?!"

Hua naturally noticed something was amiss. Logically, shouldn't I, the user of "Tomorrow Energy," be the biggest enemy of your "Violent Energy"? Haven't you always attacked me with the intent to destroy me?

Keep coming at me, what's the point of attacking Ash?!

"Drink——!"

He put his hands together and pushed out the pink cyclone from his palms, blowing away the shadow that was trying to bypass him and surround Ash, then he hurriedly pulled Ash and prepared to start pulling him.

Why are these guys focusing all their attention on Ash now? What is their intention? Are they trying to get something from him?

Although Nonoka doesn't quite understand the underlying principles behind this, since this is the enemy's intention, and if they've even dragged Ash into this, then I must stop it! It won't be a good thing anyway!

"But, this isn't right!" Ash exclaimed as he was practically pulled backwards by Hua's collar.

The reason these violent energies have revived and attacked at this moment is precisely because they are attracted to my body, which contains countless "echoes of darkness"! Having suffered a severe blow not long ago, they want me to join them like that "Kurai", so that the darkness can awaken to a greater extent than before!

Thinking of his increasingly convincing theory, cold sweat covered the back of his crimson combat suit.

But if that's the case, why didn't the "violent energy" immediately attack me when I first arrived in this world, attracted by the dark echoes?!

Ash and Hua, with embarrassed expressions under their silver-red faces, kept shifting in front of the "violent energy" that was trying to wrap around them with strong desires. Seeing the darkness being constantly pushed back by the pink light in Hua's hand, Ash seemed to have a flash of lightning behind his head that put all the clues together.

My brain cells are boiling!

"Right...on that day."

In order to save the flower that day, I shattered the "Future Crystal" that was generated from my future-oriented heart, which symbolized the existence of the entity of "Tomorrow Energy" in this world!

At that time, I didn't want any recognition from the powerful positive forces in this world. I wanted to return this power to the flowers, so I did it!

Does this mean that I personally shattered my own future? In the eyes of this world's rules, has this made me, like Kulei, someone who has given up "hope"?

"Ah."

Therefore, having lost the protection of "tomorrow energy", I felt like I was naked and being stared at without reservation.

I want to protect the flowers.

But as long as they are by my side, the flowers will not even have a chance to breathe, and there will be no peaceful day for them.

"Swish--" Ash, who seemed to have finally come to his senses, turned the gun into a sword and cut off the darkness in front of him. Ash, watching the shadow disappear, couldn't help but think.

If I had been proactively attacking and nipping these violent energies in the bud—!

"Ash..." The darkness that was cut off turned into a human form in front of Ash not long after. The drawn-out voice seemed to be calling Ash's name as he stretched out his hand, but was finally dispersed by the flower just before it touched him.

"No."

Oh, and then there is me.

As long as I exist, these things that are completely based on negative emotions and energy will be reproduced continuously!

"Heh...it's true."

It is a "gentle" world where no one needs war, and where there are kind people like Nonoka who shine brightly and whom I can't take my eyes off.

But from another perspective, it's actually better than a world with monsters like "Hora" and "Negative Monster"...

It's even more cruel.

If it were in the past, such an interesting and contradictory setting would definitely make Ash laugh out loud.

But now he had no interest at all.

Because he is living in this world with the most important person in his life...

How can this make people feel at ease?

"No? What do you mean by no? Aren't we fighting now?" Hua repeated Ash's words and found that she didn't understand him anymore.

"What a joke."

The angry Ash swung the lightsaber in his hand with blazing flames, but seeing those hostile beings that were easily scattered and dispersed, Ash did not feel a bit of pleasure in his heart. Instead, the flames of anger and pain burned more and more fiercely.

The more I want to help her now, the more I will push her into the abyss of destruction.

Did the choice I made to save her actually open another portal to hell?

"Ash—" Hana, noticing that Ash was becoming increasingly abnormal, quickly put down what she was doing and called out his name. "What's wrong with you?!"

"I heard."

Under the girl's worried gaze, the man lowered his raised arms, shook them, and nonchalantly put the sword on his shoulder.

"what?"

For some reason, Hua, with an increasingly uneasy feeling in her heart, looked at Ash in front of her, as if she had returned to the first time she met him.

In front of the red warrior who seemed to be searching for something twisted... seemed to be jealous of something.

"I said I heard it."

Under his hood, Ash loosened his clenched fists with an unpleasant look on his face.

"The world's malice."

just now.

right here.

"Wooo ...

The "violent energies" that originally existed as shadows suddenly roared in pain collectively, and along with the roar, the originally illusory bodies began to gradually solidify. These ethereal illusions gradually approached the desperate and hideous appearance of the monster in Hua's memory.

“It’s…it’s over!”

"Why!" Hua's face was filled with disbelief as she listened to the iconic roars of these "Terminators." "Why have they suddenly changed again, becoming even more powerful!"

Although the Terminator was a monster that absorbed people's negative emotions, it had never grown so powerful so quickly in the battles of the past few years! Faced with such a drastic change, even Cure Yell had a blank expression on his face.

But Ash knew why.

I’m afraid that “violent energy” is constantly being generated in my heart right now?

It was after I met and fell in love with Hua that I had the "hope" to face the future with her, but the reality made me realize in my heart that I could not have a "future" at all, let alone give Hua a "future".

This despair.

Despair that grows from hope.

It makes me more and more in line with the conditions for producing violent energy.

"Ruined!"

Although they still maintained the size of ordinary people, several Terminator monsters with enormous strength swung their fists at the two. Hana and Ash, who were surrounded and tried to defend themselves hastily, could no longer maintain their current posture and were knocked backwards by the huge force.

Now that he has even sacrificed himself, Ash can no longer deceive himself, deceiving himself that he can save the world with Hana again... After all, being able to fight the enemy while aiding them is a unique existence.

"Oh, that's true." Ash raised his hand and brushed the cracked silver mask across his chin. His fighting spirit plummeted to its lowest point. "This vicious cycle of things spiraling into abyss of despair is just like this."

Compared to Ash's usual war-crazed style, at this moment he was completely focused on the battle and didn't notice that he could hear the person behind him talking to himself.

"I say... Ash, you said you're not actually from this world."

Cure Yell and Time Fire, whose strength was gradually depleted and whose breathing was already becoming irregular, stood back to back. Hana, whose clenched fists were beginning to ache, asked the person behind her a question that was troubling her.

"But now, I have to pay so much for this world...or for myself."

Although I don't want to ask such a question that will definitely trouble you, I am afraid that if I don't say it now, we will have no chance.

So, please let me be willful for once.

"Is this really good?"

Ash, whose mood had already fallen to the lowest point, was suddenly shaken as if he was immersed in memories when he heard Hua's question.

The silver-red flames covered Ash's face, hiding his true expression. Ash did not express it directly, but just clenched his fists and took a stance, aiming at the existence in front of him that could be called an enemy.

When I first met you, I learned about the traces you left in this world. Your deeds that rivaled legends made me really want to get to know you in person.

I want to know what kind of woman is this warrior who, even though she is tormented by such contradictions and pain, still fights for a world with no future.

It wasn't until I saw you again in real life, looking into your eyes that showed no sign of surrender, that I truly felt it.

What a... conscious woman.

It makes me want to understand you and walk into your story...but in the end I am trapped by the "love" that attracts me to you.

But please don't misunderstand, this is not a complaint, after all...

"I volunteered."

You want me to stop here or something, that's impossible.

"Then, Ash, please tell me... I really want to know—"

The moment of rest with their lover was only a moment, and then they separated and rushed towards the enemies in front of them.

"What exactly do you see now?"

"What you showed me was—"

The fist that was burning with flames was swung down, fiercely burning the darkness in front of him, and then smashed into the opponent's body deep with strength and speed.

"Star!"

I have a very high opinion of you.

"really--"

Looking at the violent energies that were more surging towards him than towards the flowers, Ash was convinced of that fact.
