Meetings - Fourze/Smile Precure Draft v2 Unfinished
"Seems like there's a lot of students here right now," remarked Gentarou as he was putting on his period costume. A group of students had come in, dressed in the uniform of the Nanairogaoka Middle School.
"I wouldn't be surprised, it is the new school year after all," replied Ryuusei, fitting on the hat again. "Where's Yuuki and Yukina?"
"Ah they're off getting ready. We should be--whoa!"
"ACK!"
In a collision of bodies, Gentarou and a girl with buns in her hair went down in a heap, objects flying everywhere. Ryuusei was up instantly in his chair but he relaxed. "You're really out of it today, Gentarou."
"Sorry, sorry, my bad!" exclaimed Gentarou, sitting up to see a cute girl a couple of years younger than he was, rubbing her head. "I didn't see you there!"
"It's okay, I've been drawing the worst luck recently!" exclaimed the girl. "I should get back to my group. Sorry!"
"It's okay. Go on." The girl bowed and ran out, only to trip on the door. Gen winced. "Man that is bad luck."
Reaching to his side, he blinked and frowned, patting himself down. "Oh crap... where is it?"
"Where is what?" asked Ryuusei.
"The Fourze Driver... it's GONE!"
Ryuusei was already out the door, looking around. "That girl... she must have took it somehow!" Looking down, he picked up a small compact. "This must be hers..."
Already three blocks away into the streets of Kyoto, Miyuki was fishing around in her bag. "It's gone! It's not here! And... what's this?" From her bag, she withdrew a large object with four symbols on it in varying colors.
"Hey, Miyuki, hurry up or we'll leave you behind!" called out Akane.
"AH! Coming!"
====
Space... the final frontier, filled with infinite cosmic energy. It's a beautiful world.
A rainbow full of smiles, five lights paving the way towards a meeting that should never happen.
Meetings

"Nowhere here...! Nowhere! NOWHERE!" Yuuki sunk to her knees. "Where is it?!"
"I didn't find it this way," said Ryuusei as he and Gentarou met up. "The Fourze Driver could be miles away now."
"Kengo's going to KILL ME." groaned Gentarou. "Did you find anyone looking for that compact, Yuuki?"
"About that..." Their heads swivelled towards Yukina who was powdering her nose with the puff. The boys hung their heads as Yuuki wailed, "I'm sorry!"
"Don't be, you did your best," reassured Ryuusei. "Let's split up some more and..."
A sort of shock went through the pair as they stumbled to their knees. 'What is this? A mental attack?' thought Ryuusei as he struggled to keep from falling over. Gentarou was doing the same and Yuuki, well, she was already puddled into a heap. People everywhere were collapsing, black energy trailing from their bodies. "What is this? Some kind of mental attack?"
"Oi, oi Ryuusei, you okay?" asked Gentarou seconds before a body rolled into view. "Kengo!"
Kengo looked drained, like all hope had been sapped from him. "It's over... I'll never find my father's research..."
"Some kind of psychic attack," said Ryuusei. "Zodiarts probably."
"Damn. This Libra's doing?" Looking over to Yukina, she had collapsed into a heap, bemoaning something ineligible as Gentarou picked up the compact that had fallen from her hands.
"I don't know. Since everyone's incapacitated though..." And Ryuusei strapped on the Meteor Driver. "I'll have a look around. Henshin!"
Gentarou nodded. "I'll go with you..." Meteor took off into the distance. "Or not..."
Selecting a random direction, he took off.
====
"The Red Oni!" exclaimed Akane as she and the other girls skidded into view.
"Ah, Precure? What are you doing in Kyoto?!" demanded the Red Oni.
"We were going to ask you the same thing!" exclaimed Nao.
"Everyone, transform!" exclaimed Candy from Yayoi's bag.
"Right." Fishing out their Smile Pacts, the girls held them up. But then everyone looked at Miyuki. "Miyuki, what's wrong?" asked Yayoi.
"You guys...!" sniffled Miyuki. "I lost my smile pact!"
"N-no way! Where?!" exclaimed Reika.
"I don't know! All I found is this in my bag!" And Miyuki held up the Fourze Driver to which the others stared.
"Did... you buy something and not tell us?" asked Akane. But there was a strange look on Yayoi's face as she exclaimed, "It couldn't be...!"
"Yayoi, do you know what this is?" asked Reika.
"Pah, it's just a piece of plastic," grumbled the Red Oni as he held up Miyuki's slip of Terrible Luck and a Blue Nose. "Come forth, Akanbe!"
"Gah, there's no time for this! Miyuki, stay back! Everyone lets go!" exclaimed Akane and the others nodded, transforming as they did so.
Taking shelter behind a tree, Miyuki watched her friends as they launched attack after attack, blocking the punishing strikes that seemed to bounce towards every part of her hiding spot. Ducking around another tree, Miyuki groaned. "What's with today?!"
"Precure Sunny Fire!" The explosion rocked the area but when the dust settled, the Akanbe still stood as Sunny collapsed to her knees, panting.
"So it's true, our attacks have no effect on these new Akanbe," observed Beauty. "We need to perform the Rainbow Healing!"
"We can't, not without...!" March and Peace looked over at Miyuki who looked down, clenching hands around the device.
"Not without me," said Miyuki. "We can't beat it without me I... I want to help but...!"
"Useless!" exclaimed the Red Oni as he directed his Akanbe towards them. "All of that is useless, Precure!"
"AKANBE!" Firing a ball at Miyuki, she screamed and threw herself to the side, landing on the device. "OW!"
"Miyuki, are you all right?" demanded Sunny as Miyuki got up, the Driver attached to her middle. "The heck? Is that a belt?!"
"AH!" Peace gaped and exclaimed, "Miyuki! That's a transformation belt!"
"EH!? HOW DO YOU KNOW?" demanded Miyuki as she dodged another attack.
"It looks like Space-Man's belt from Masked Hero Space-Man! Try to activate it!" called out Peace, seconds before she was blown into a wall.
"Peace!" Miyuki held up her arms to shield herself as Sunny and March caught the ball from impacting onto her. "Everyone!"
"If Peace is right, then you're our only hope, Miyuki! Do it!"
Miyuki trembled but nodded, getting to her feet. "I won't let you hurt anyone else, Red Oni!"
And frantically she started hitting switches out of order, until the red ones were flipped. There was a loud ringing noise as the Driver charged up and stated to count down in a loud voice.
3!
"Peace what do I do now?!"
2!
"Exclaim It's Morphing Time!" yelled Peace as she blocked another strike.
1!
"It's Morphing Time!" exclaimed Miyuki, expecting something to happen. But when a moment passed and nothing happened, she looked at her hands. "Um, I don't feel transformed."
3!
"It's counting down again! Peace!"
"The lever, Miyuki!" said Beauty, pointing it out. "Try throwing it when the countdown is finished!"
2!
"I won't let you do that!" exclaimed the Oni, sailing down and taking a swing of his massive club. It splintered the ground around Miyuki and she was sent flying.
"Miyuki!"
1!
Grabbing the throttle in mid-fall, Miyuki threw it. "It's Morphing Time!"
=====
Meteor landed just as the world faded back to its normal colors. "What in the world...?" he muttered as he started looking for the source of it.
Nothing seemed to be out of place, and people were getting up. Making a tsk noise, he walked away, undoing his transformation just as Gentarou ran up with Kengo under his arm and Yuuki supporting Yukina. "Ryuusei, did you find it?"
"I didn't. I also didn't find the source of the phenomenon." replied Ryuusei.
Surprisingly, Kengo didn't look too pissed off as he said, "He might have lost it, but there's a good chance we'll find clues if we retrace our steps."
"Oi, Kengo, you're not mad?" inquired Gentarou who then recoiled at Kengo's eerie smile.
"Mad? Mad at you for losing my father's work? Why NO I am not mad at you one bit. But I'm too tired to yell at you right now, so let's just keep looking." With that, Kengo stalked off.
Yuuki winced. "Oh god he is so incredibly mad..."
Looking over the battlefield which had turned back to normal, Ryuusei frowned. "What just happened here?"
=====
Ten minutes before...
Miyuki felt power of an unfamiliar type flow through her body as she fell to the ground. A spray of exhaust slowed her fall and she touched down gently. Opening her eyes, she found her view augmented by a compound helmet. "Everyone, did I manage to do it?"
"What the heck is that, Precure?" inquired the Oni, clearly not impressed by Miyuki's new outfit. "It's so weird..."
Miyuki looked at herself in the waters edge and gaped, holding at her head. "I'm... transformed, really?"
"So cool!" exclaimed Peace, eyes shining. "Now we have the power to defeat the Akanbe!"
"Well I don't know if we could but lets do this!" exclaimed Sunny. "Beauty, March, go left. Peace, right with me. Happy, er, whatever you are right now, straight down the middle! Lets go!" And the Precure charged into the fray as Miyuki followed behind at a slower rate.
'No super speed, but I am faster than normal...' thought Miyuki as the girls laid into the monster, her following with a punch. Which made her squeak in pain. "O-ow!"
"Akanbe!" snorted the Akanbe and swatted her backwards. Miyuki yelped but the thrusters on her back fired again, catching her fall.
"That really hurt!" exclaimed Miyuki, wringing her hand and accidentally striking the first switch.
[RO-KE-TO-ON]
"Eh?" Seconds later, Miyuki screamed as the Rocket threw her back into the fray, the girl slamming headlong into the Akanbe, bowling it over. "HOW DO YOU STOP THIS THING?!"
"Miyuki! Try to find the hero kick!" exclaimed Peace as Miyuki slammed into the Akanbe again and again.
"I don't know which switch that is!" cried Miyuki as she hit another switch.
After toggling the radar on and off, Miyuki hit the third switch, producing the drill. "I have a drill! Where's my foot though, it's not here!"
"That's it! That's Space Man's signature move! Point yourself at the Akanbe, and proclaim Space Man Super Hero Kick!" exclaimed Peace.
"And try throwing the lever while you're at it!" added Beauty, ducking a shot.
"Not while I'm around!" And the Red Oni leaped at Miyuki who dodged away with a flail, and the Oni yelped as he went into the drink.
"All right, lets give this a try!" Throwing the lever, a male voice proclaimed, Rocket Drill LIMIT BREAK as Miyuki blazed forward, remembering to scream, "Space Man Super Hero Kiiiiickkkk!"
The pair met headlong and for a moment, it looked like the Akanbe was going to win. But seconds later, Miyuki tore through the Blue Nose and in a explosion, the Akanbe was wiped out. Landing hard, she spun around like a top before falling over, rear sticking up.
"Owwwwwwwwww...."
Clambering out of the water, the Red Oni made a grunting tch noise. "I'll deal with you kids later." And with that, he teleported away.
Peace was immediately at Miyuki's side as she helped the armored girl up. "That was incredible! That was just like what I expected a real super hero to be like!"
"Oi, oi, what are we then?" chuckled Akane as their costumes faded. "Lets get you out of that suit somehow..."
"Oh Maikos!" exclaimed Nao, pointing at the women who walked into view.
"Ah I can't be photographed like this!" And Miyuki fumbled with the belt before switching it off, transforming back in a burst of light and smoke. "There we go!"
"Candy thinks Miyuki was very cool," said Candy, nodding sagely as Miyuki blushed. "But you have to find your Smile Pact before the bad guys come again!"
"She's right," said Reika as they lined up to take the picture. "Lets retrace our steps."
=====
Gentarou flipped the Smile Pact in his hand. There had got to be someone looking for this thing, whatever it was. Opening it up, he peered at the item and poked the hole in the middle with no effect. Shaking it, he proclaimed, "How can we be friends?"
"Gentarou~!" Suddenly bowled over by Yukina, she plucked the compact out of his hands. "Manly men shouldn't be worrying about childrens toys like this!"
"Ah sorry, but I want to return that to that girl," replied Gen, making a grab for it. "Yukina come on!"
Yukina sighed and reluctantly handed it back to him. "Thanks. This is probably important to that girl."
"Do you even remember what she looks like?" inquired Yukina as the pair wandered around.
"Um, smaller than I am, pinkish hair..."
Bump. And two bodies went down again as Gentarou was bowled over by Nao. "Ow..." the pair chorused before Nao exclaimed, "The Smile Pact!"
"Eh? You mean this?" inquired Gentarou, before smiling. "Then you must be that girl's friend!"
"Yeah, Miyuki's looking for that. Oh, sorry, I'm Nao Midorikawa. We split up looking for the pact."
"No problem. Can I tag along then? I want to hand it back to her, and ask if she's seen something of mine."
Inwardly, Nao cringed. So this must be the guy who that weird belt belonged to. He looked nice enough though, despite his punk appearance. And the girl clinging to him protectively must be his girlfriend. "All right. We're meeting up in the center street in a little bit."
At that moment, screaming was heard as people came stampeding away from a group of what Nao figured were ninjas. Were they filming something?
"Dustards!" exclaimed Gentarou, getting up and pulling Nao and Yukina to their feet. "Run!" And he leaped into action, punching and kicking at them before drawing the swords at his side. "This isn't a show, get out of here!"
"What gives, this isn't the Bad End Kingdom...!" exclaimed Nao as the others ran up. "Everyone! Where's Miyuki and Candy?"
"They're stuck on the other side of the old town. We should help." said Reika.
"Two transformations in one day, this is going to suuuck," groaned Akane as they produced their Smile Pacts.
Gentarou threw one over his shoulder seconds before a chorus of, "Precure Smile Charge!" was heard. Turning around, he was almost blinded by a flash of rainbow light. When it receded, he gaped. "Precure?"
Not wasting any time, the Precure leaped into action as he caught March on the shoulder. "Nao right? I can handle this."
"No dice, we're going to help you out," said March, grinning at him. "C'mon, I get the feeling you're tangled up in this."
=====
Miyuki pushed through the crowd, heading for the fight when the ringing of a staff on the ground made her pull up short. "What?"
From the side, Libra stepped out, heading towards a tall stone pillar. "There we are," said Libra, raising his staff.
"He's going to destroy that pillar!" exclaimed Candy.
"What? No! Hey you, stop it! Don't break things so recklessly!" yelled Miyuki, getting his attention.
Libra turned towards her and there was a puzzled expression on what could be seen of his face. "This does not concern you, child. You should step aside."
"No! I don't know what you're doing, but I'll stop you!" She held up a hand and the Fourze Driver appeared in it before strapping it onto her middle.
"What!?" exclaimed Libra, taken off guard. When did this girl get Fourze's Driver?
Throwing the switches, the voice counted down as Miyuki grabbed the lever. "It's Morphing Time!"
When the dust settled, Miyuki posed. "Powerful Space Warrior, Twinkling Lights! Precure Stand-in SPACE MAN!"
Libra was not impressed and he fired a blast that threw Miyuki into a wall. "You are not Fourze... but I suppose i cannot let you get in the way of my plans."
Struggling out of the hole in the wall, the newly redubbed Fourze got up and dusted her hands off. "Still, I can't let you do whatever evil thing you have planned!"
And with that, she charged in, punching and kicking as Libra parried easily. "Pathetic. You're not a challenge like the true Fourze."
"Oh yeah?!" demanded Miyuki, punching out with her right hand and Libra catching it. Toggling the Rocket Switch, it appeared on her arm and completed the swing, knocking Libra back several paces before she charged after him.
"Go Go Space Man!" cheered Candy as the pair fought back together. "Use that final attack again!"
"Oh yeah, that's right!" Throwing the Drill switch, she flew up into the air and circled back, throwing the lever. "Space Man Super Hero Kick!"
'This girl, where is all of her power coming from?!' Throwing off his cloak, Libra blocked against the attack, the Drill screaming against his staff.
=====
"So we're looking for this Miyuki girl?" demanded Kengo. "How is she able to use Fourze?"
"She's a Precure like us, but somehow her stubbornness managed to get it to work," said Sunny as they ran towards where the battle had been detected by a Burgermeal.
"With a little help of course from our resident hero otaku," chuckled March and Peace blushed.
"I just remembered it from last season of Super Hero Man." replied Peace.
"Oh that was the space one right?" asked Yuuki. "That was an awesome show!"
"You saw it too?" asked Peace, smiling. "What did you like the most about it?"
"All the accurate constallations in the show!" laughed Yuuki and Peace nodded. "Me too!"
"At least Ryuusei's keeping Yukina occupied," remarked Gentarou, holding onto the Smile Pact as they turned the corner, just in time to see Fourze clash against Libra. "Libra again!"
Thrown backwards, Libra got up and stalked towards the pillar when Meteor crashed between them. "Stop!" exclaimed Meteor.
"More nuisances," remarked Libra, looking at the girls. "Precure... so you do exist."
"We won't let you hurt anyone else!" exclaimed Beauty as Miyuki limped towards them. "Are you okay?"
"Just a little winded," panted Miyuki as she looked up at Gentarou. "My Smile Pact!"
"And that's our Fourze Driver," said Kengo. "Give it back!"
"Ah, right of course." Undoing the transformation, Miyuki smiled up at Gentarou as he passed her the pact and she the driver. "Sorry for using your powers like this."
"It's okay, I woulda done the same if I could," said Gentarou, holding out his hand for Miyuki to shake which she did. After their handshake, he strapped on his buckle as Miyuki popped open the Smile Pact. "Let's show Libra a taste of our newfound friendship!"
"Kisaragi, what are nonsense are you spouting now?" demanded Libra.
"We're now all connected, Riders and Precure! If you want, I'll show you a taste of our true friendship!"
READY? 3! 2! 1!
"Precure Smile Charge!"
"Henshin!"
"Kamen Rider Fourze! Let's settle this man-to-man!"
"Twinkling and shining! The light of the future! Cure Happy!"
"The brilliant sun! Hotblooded power! Cure Sunny!"
"Sparkling and glittering! Rock, paper, scissors! Cure Peace!"
"Intense courage! A straight up bout! Cure March!"
"The snow, falling and gathering! A noble heart! Cure Beauty!"
"Kamen Rider Meteor! My power will call up a storm!"
"The five lights that guide us to the future! Sparkle! Smile Precure!"
Team explosion.
And nearby, Leo stared. And just decided right then he should step in. Before Libra died of embarrassment.
"I wouldn't be surprised, it is the new school year after all," replied Ryuusei, fitting on the hat again. "Where's Yuuki and Yukina?"
"Ah they're off getting ready. We should be--whoa!"
"ACK!"
In a collision of bodies, Gentarou and a girl with buns in her hair went down in a heap, objects flying everywhere. Ryuusei was up instantly in his chair but he relaxed. "You're really out of it today, Gentarou."
"Sorry, sorry, my bad!" exclaimed Gentarou, sitting up to see a cute girl a couple of years younger than he was, rubbing her head. "I didn't see you there!"
"It's okay, I've been drawing the worst luck recently!" exclaimed the girl. "I should get back to my group. Sorry!"
"It's okay. Go on." The girl bowed and ran out, only to trip on the door. Gen winced. "Man that is bad luck."
Reaching to his side, he blinked and frowned, patting himself down. "Oh crap... where is it?"
"Where is what?" asked Ryuusei.
"The Fourze Driver... it's GONE!"
Ryuusei was already out the door, looking around. "That girl... she must have took it somehow!" Looking down, he picked up a small compact. "This must be hers..."
Already three blocks away into the streets of Kyoto, Miyuki was fishing around in her bag. "It's gone! It's not here! And... what's this?" From her bag, she withdrew a large object with four symbols on it in varying colors.
"Hey, Miyuki, hurry up or we'll leave you behind!" called out Akane.
"AH! Coming!"

"Nowhere here...! Nowhere! NOWHERE!" Yuuki sunk to her knees. "Where is it?!"
"I didn't find it this way," said Ryuusei as he and Gentarou met up. "The Fourze Driver could be miles away now."
"Kengo's going to KILL ME." groaned Gentarou. "Did you find anyone looking for that compact, Yuuki?"
"About that..." Their heads swivelled towards Yukina who was powdering her nose with the puff. The boys hung their heads as Yuuki wailed, "I'm sorry!"
"Don't be, you did your best," reassured Ryuusei. "Let's split up some more and..."

"The Red Oni!" exclaimed Akane as she and the other girls skidded into view.
"Ah, Precure? What are you doing in Kyoto?!" demanded the Red Oni.
"We were going to ask you the same thing!" exclaimed Nao.
"Everyone, transform!" exclaimed Candy from Yayoi's bag.
"Right." Fishing out their Smile Pacts, the girls held them up. But then everyone looked at Miyuki. "Miyuki, what's wrong?" asked Yayoi.
"You guys...!" sniffled Miyuki. "I lost my smile pact!"

"Useless!" exclaimed the Red Oni as he directed his Akanbe towards them. "All of that is useless, Precure!"
"AKANBE!" Firing a ball at Miyuki, she screamed and threw herself to the side, landing on the device. "OW!"
"Miyuki, are you all right?" demanded Sunny as Miyuki got up, the Driver attached to her middle. "The heck? Is that a belt?!"
"AH!" Peace gaped and exclaimed, "Miyuki! That's a transformation belt!"
"EH!? HOW DO YOU KNOW?" demanded Miyuki as she dodged another attack.
"It looks like Space-Man's belt from Masked Hero Space-Man! Try to activate it!" called out Peace, seconds before she was blown into a wall.
"Peace!" Miyuki held up her arms to shield herself as Sunny and March caught the ball from impacting onto her. "Everyone!"
"If Peace is right, then you're our only hope, Miyuki! Do it!"
Miyuki trembled but nodded, getting to her feet. "I won't let you hurt anyone else, Red Oni!"
And frantically she started hitting switches out of order, until the red ones were flipped. There was a loud ringing noise as the Driver charged up and stated to count down in a loud voice.
3!
"Peace what do I do now?!"
2!
"Exclaim It's Morphing Time!" yelled Peace as she blocked another strike.
1!
"It's Morphing Time!" exclaimed Miyuki, expecting something to happen. But when a moment passed and nothing happened, she looked at her hands. "Um, I don't feel transformed."
3!
"It's counting down again! Peace!"
"The lever, Miyuki!" said Beauty, pointing it out. "Try throwing it when the countdown is finished!"
2!
"I won't let you do that!" exclaimed the Oni, sailing down and taking a swing of his massive club. It splintered the ground around Miyuki and she was sent flying.
"Miyuki!"

Grabbing the throttle in mid-fall, Miyuki threw it. "It's Morphing Time!"

"Mad? Mad at you for losing my father's work? Why NO I am not mad at you one bit. But I'm too tired to yell at you right now, so let's just keep looking." With that, Kengo stalked off.
Yuuki winced. "Oh god he is so incredibly mad..."
Looking over the battlefield which had turned back to normal, Ryuusei frowned. "What just happened here?"
=====
Ten minutes before...
Miyuki felt power of an unfamiliar type flow through her body as she fell to the ground. A spray of exhaust slowed her fall and she touched down gently. Opening her eyes, she found her view augmented by a compound helmet. "Everyone, did I manage to do it?"
"What the heck is that, Precure?" inquired the Oni, clearly not impressed by Miyuki's new outfit. "It's so weird..."
Miyuki looked at herself in the waters edge and gaped, holding at her head. "I'm... transformed, really?"
"So cool!" exclaimed Peace, eyes shining. "Now we have the power to defeat the Akanbe!"
"Well I don't know if we could but lets do this!" exclaimed Sunny. "Beauty, March, go left. Peace, right with me. Happy, er, whatever you are right now, straight down the middle! Lets go!" And the Precure charged into the fray as Miyuki followed behind at a slower rate.
'No super speed, but I am faster than normal...' thought Miyuki as the girls laid into the monster, her following with a punch. Which made her squeak in pain. "O-ow!"

"Candy thinks Miyuki was very cool," said Candy, nodding sagely as Miyuki blushed. "But you have to find your Smile Pact before the bad guys come again!"
"She's right," said Reika as they lined up to take the picture. "Lets retrace our steps."
=====
Gentarou flipped the Smile Pact in his hand. There had got to be someone looking for this thing, whatever it was. Opening it up, he peered at the item and poked the hole in the middle with no effect. Shaking it, he proclaimed, "How can we be friends?"
"Gentarou~!" Suddenly bowled over by Yukina, she plucked the compact out of his hands. "Manly men shouldn't be worrying about childrens toys like this!"
"Ah sorry, but I want to return that to that girl," replied Gen, making a grab for it. "Yukina come on!"
Yukina sighed and reluctantly handed it back to him. "Thanks. This is probably important to that girl."
"Do you even remember what she looks like?" inquired Yukina as the pair wandered around.
"Um, smaller than I am, pinkish hair..."
Bump. And two bodies went down again as Gentarou was bowled over by Nao. "Ow..." the pair chorused before Nao exclaimed, "The Smile Pact!"
"Eh? You mean this?" inquired Gentarou, before smiling. "Then you must be that girl's friend!"
"Yeah, Miyuki's looking for that. Oh, sorry, I'm Nao Midorikawa. We split up looking for the pact."
"No problem. Can I tag along then? I want to hand it back to her, and ask if she's seen something of mine."
Inwardly, Nao cringed. So this must be the guy who that weird belt belonged to. He looked nice enough though, despite his punk appearance. And the girl clinging to him protectively must be his girlfriend. "All right. We're meeting up in the center street in a little bit."
At that moment, screaming was heard as people came stampeding away from a group of what Nao figured were ninjas. Were they filming something?
"Dustards!" exclaimed Gentarou, getting up and pulling Nao and Yukina to their feet. "Run!" And he leaped into action, punching and kicking at them before drawing the swords at his side. "This isn't a show, get out of here!"
"What gives, this isn't the Bad End Kingdom...!" exclaimed Nao as the others ran up. "Everyone! Where's Miyuki and Candy?"
"They're stuck on the other side of the old town. We should help." said Reika.
"Two transformations in one day, this is going to suuuck," groaned Akane as they produced their Smile Pacts.
Gentarou threw one over his shoulder seconds before a chorus of, "Precure Smile Charge!" was heard. Turning around, he was almost blinded by a flash of rainbow light. When it receded, he gaped. "Precure?"
Not wasting any time, the Precure leaped into action as he caught March on the shoulder. "Nao right? I can handle this."
"No dice, we're going to help you out," said March, grinning at him. "C'mon, I get the feeling you're tangled up in this."
=====
Miyuki pushed through the crowd, heading for the fight when the ringing of a staff on the ground made her pull up short. "What?"
From the side, Libra stepped out, heading towards a tall stone pillar. "There we are," said Libra, raising his staff.
"He's going to destroy that pillar!" exclaimed Candy.
"What? No! Hey you, stop it! Don't break things so recklessly!" yelled Miyuki, getting his attention.
Libra turned towards her and there was a puzzled expression on what could be seen of his face. "This does not concern you, child. You should step aside."
"No! I don't know what you're doing, but I'll stop you!" She held up a hand and the Fourze Driver appeared in it before strapping it onto her middle.
"What!?" exclaimed Libra, taken off guard. When did this girl get Fourze's Driver?
Throwing the switches, the voice counted down as Miyuki grabbed the lever. "It's Morphing Time!"
When the dust settled, Miyuki posed. "Powerful Space Warrior, Twinkling Lights! Precure Stand-in SPACE MAN!"
Libra was not impressed and he fired a blast that threw Miyuki into a wall. "You are not Fourze... but I suppose i cannot let you get in the way of my plans."
Struggling out of the hole in the wall, the newly redubbed Fourze got up and dusted her hands off. "Still, I can't let you do whatever evil thing you have planned!"
And with that, she charged in, punching and kicking as Libra parried easily. "Pathetic. You're not a challenge like the true Fourze."
"Oh yeah?!" demanded Miyuki, punching out with her right hand and Libra catching it. Toggling the Rocket Switch, it appeared on her arm and completed the swing, knocking Libra back several paces before she charged after him.
"Go Go Space Man!" cheered Candy as the pair fought back together. "Use that final attack again!"
"Oh yeah, that's right!" Throwing the Drill switch, she flew up into the air and circled back, throwing the lever. "Space Man Super Hero Kick!"
'This girl, where is all of her power coming from?!' Throwing off his cloak, Libra blocked against the attack, the Drill screaming against his staff.
=====
"So we're looking for this Miyuki girl?" demanded Kengo. "How is she able to use Fourze?"
"She's a Precure like us, but somehow her stubbornness managed to get it to work," said Sunny as they ran towards where the battle had been detected by a Burgermeal.
"With a little help of course from our resident hero otaku," chuckled March and Peace blushed.
"I just remembered it from last season of Super Hero Man." replied Peace.
"Oh that was the space one right?" asked Yuuki. "That was an awesome show!"
"You saw it too?" asked Peace, smiling. "What did you like the most about it?"
"All the accurate constallations in the show!" laughed Yuuki and Peace nodded. "Me too!"
"At least Ryuusei's keeping Yukina occupied," remarked Gentarou, holding onto the Smile Pact as they turned the corner, just in time to see Fourze clash against Libra. "Libra again!"
Thrown backwards, Libra got up and stalked towards the pillar when Meteor crashed between them. "Stop!" exclaimed Meteor.
"More nuisances," remarked Libra, looking at the girls. "Precure... so you do exist."
"We won't let you hurt anyone else!" exclaimed Beauty as Miyuki limped towards them. "Are you okay?"
"Just a little winded," panted Miyuki as she looked up at Gentarou. "My Smile Pact!"
"And that's our Fourze Driver," said Kengo. "Give it back!"
"Ah, right of course." Undoing the transformation, Miyuki smiled up at Gentarou as he passed her the pact and she the driver. "Sorry for using your powers like this."
"It's okay, I woulda done the same if I could," said Gentarou, holding out his hand for Miyuki to shake which she did. After their handshake, he strapped on his buckle as Miyuki popped open the Smile Pact. "Let's show Libra a taste of our newfound friendship!"
"Kisaragi, what are nonsense are you spouting now?" demanded Libra.
"We're now all connected, Riders and Precure! If you want, I'll show you a taste of our true friendship!"
READY? 3! 2! 1!
"Precure Smile Charge!"
"Henshin!"
"Kamen Rider Fourze! Let's settle this man-to-man!"
"Twinkling and shining! The light of the future! Cure Happy!"
"The brilliant sun! Hotblooded power! Cure Sunny!"
"Sparkling and glittering! Rock, paper, scissors! Cure Peace!"
"Intense courage! A straight up bout! Cure March!"
"The snow, falling and gathering! A noble heart! Cure Beauty!"
"Kamen Rider Meteor! My power will call up a storm!"
"The five lights that guide us to the future! Sparkle! Smile Precure!"
Team explosion.
And nearby, Leo stared. And just decided right then he should step in. Before Libra died of embarrassment.
