SOME DAYS WAY LATER.)

A princess came to Earth. She wanted a friend and already found one, an animaliouse (she loves them) from the Yual World, who was also a survivor. She had sparkling skin and a pair of green shimmering eyes. Her name was Hiki. Going outside the castle for the princess was new. All of her subjects and her royal family needed her to go take a stroll so she was curious about Earth inhabitants.)

Hiki: *looks at the world with wonder* Wow...

The princess (Ella): Are you liking what you see?

Hiki: *blushes* They have so much food! So many vegetation! So many places to explore! And we have none of that!

Ella: True. I am also very surprised.

Hiki: *yawns* I wish my friends could come and visit us too, Your Royal Highness. *bows down* Will the humans find out who we really are?

Ella: This is another world, what makes you think that? *pondering*

Hiki: *thinks for a moment* I dunno... *yawns again*

Ella: I need to go home now. Hiki, you can explore the castle and the surroundings, but give me more respect next time.

Hiki: Yes.

Ella: *walks away*

---

After not that many several hours, Hiki found a group of people.)

Iken: *she was writing down her routine with the other cures*

Hmm... So, there's that to complete...

Hiki: (Think: Ok, I found a group of people, now all I have to do next is to get along with them, stay focused Hiki, you can do it.)

But suddenly...)

Zip: WHO ARE YOU, ZIPPU?! *she had a pulverisator* ARE YOU CRAZY TO COME HERE, OR WHAT?!

Hiki: Calm down! CALM DOWN! Relax! I didn't came to hurt you or anything else that's bad, but instead to talk with you, understand each other...! I am an animaliouse too!

Zip: *puts down her pulverisator* Oh... Okay...

Iken: *she moved her finger along her neck* What's going on?

Zip: There is another animaliouse zippu, I don't really get it anymore.

Iken: I see...

Hiki: *she looks beautiful due that she was treated by a princess* So, you were sent here to find other animaliouses like us?

Zip: ...That's right, zippu. *she shows the other animaliouses*

Szoz: Hi, pszoz.

Zameel: Hey.

IQMW: H-Hello.

Me-chand: ...

Urin: Hi there.

Hiki: Wow! You're six! That is the number of all of you here! I thought all of us were dead! And the others accompagnying you are humans!

Zip: Hmph, no comment.

Hiki: A princess took care of me. I'm very grateful for it.

Zip: A PRINCESS?! THAT'S LUCKY???! I'M SORRY FOR BEING RUDE AND ACTING SO OFFENDED TO YOU, ZIPPU! I'LL NEVER CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!

Iken: You do?

Hiki: Yes, just like how you all are to the humans who raised you.

Iken: Your world must be exciting.

Urin: I reckon so.

Szoz: Yes, except for mine.

Hiki: What?

Szoz: It's different. More special.

Hiki: I've never been there.

Iken: Now I'll go back to my schedule routine. If you want to help Hiki, you can.

Hiki: Yay, I'm also part of the team!

Iken: You can, but we are too many, if I also count Arigaoa, Shikuna, Inuyama, Mine, and Faith.

Hiki: No, it's alright, I understand. I just meant part of the team as in your temporary helper.

Mine: Actually, can I count you in?

Iken: Huh?

Mine: I need an additional member for my other species squad. After all the hard training I went through, you are also a valuable asset to the team. Everyone can be accepted, Iken. Even the cute Cures.

Iken: I hope Hiki-chan will be along with us.

Hiki: Uuuh. If you think it's a good idea.

Mine: *nods*

Hiki: Okay, I'll join.

Iken: *looking away, doing her routine again*

Hiki: *yawns like she's lazy* I think I'm gonna have my head crushed into a wall.

Mine: Why?

Hiki: *huge yawn* Because I didn't move an inch since the night before, I keep yawning and spacing out.

Iken: If you didn't move an inch in the last 24 hours, I bet you're feeling tired now.

Hiki: I am and not at the same time.

Iken: Sleeping is the first sign of ageing and I'm starting to notice it.

Hiki: I'm not that old yet...

Iken: Pretty sure you are old enough to start thinking about growing up...

Faith: I will be going on a journey.

Hiki: A journey? Where to?

Faith: It... depends.

Hiki: Depends? On what?

Faith: The world at hand. As an angel, I tend to come and go.

Hiki: Like me.

Iken and Hiki were now alone.)

Hiki: Hmm, looks like everyone went away, I don't get why, maybe they're doing their thing.

Mine is doing kung fu somewhere while no one seemed to notice. She was wearing a qipao with a belt, and decided to take a break.)

Hiki: Iken!

Hiki managed to convince Iken to look at her stuff. But it seemed to be almost impossible.)

At the moment, she noticed a cowboy hat and pretended to stage play.)

Iken: Everyone disappeared in this town...

Hiki: This is a crime! We are angry! They're NO MORE! *she had fake pistols and started to engage a duel*

Iken: Yeehaw!

Mine: Hey, hey. Why are you pretending to be cowgirls?

Hiki: And why are you dressed like a kung fu practitioner? I'm not mad, just asking since you were also asking a question of the same form.

Mine: Because I want to, that's why.

Iken: She does kung fu, in secret... *to Hiki*

Mine: I love kung fu, long story short. It's for my Pretty Cure fights that I do that.

Hiki: In that case, Mine is probably going to kick someone's butt.

Iken: She is very attentive.

Arigaoa: *watching the play from behind, sighs, and then leaves, the play clearly stopped since some time*

Hiki: Then I better not anger her.

Iken: Mine is very athletic. Like, she even has other skills in sports. Mine could make someone's day when they have a bad day, she is a really good friend.

Hiki: I thought she was different, similar to the time when Zip was going to hit me. Oh well... I noticed something that seemed very crucial. I didn't tell you because I forgot but here it is. *she had a smart brilliant novel that reflected with lights*

Mine: Yes! You have it! *heart tongue*

Hiki: I haven't read it yet, but I know that this tome-like object hides a profound importance.

Mine: It's a Smart Brilliant Novel. We only have one left... We needed it to save your worlds.

Hiki: My worlds?

Mine: And mine, there's a threat going on so we must collect all of the same novels to do so.

Iken: *reading the epos from the novel* "The Power of Suggestion, a Tale about Intelligence and Spiritual Love." The Yual World. A Cheery World... *reading*

Hiki: My friend, you're talking about two different things. The first one and the other one.

Iken: Be quiet, I'm reading.

Hiki: Oh, okay. I'm sorry...

Later.)

Iken: I like books.

Hiki: The first one or other one?

Iken: Both.

Hiki: It's... confusing.

Iken: No, it makes me be in a good mood, I shall tell the others about the discoveries. My old homeroom teacher used to make us read stories like those.

Hiki: That's something very specific to be covered in a story.

Iken: Not for her. *turning to look at Mine* You like it too?

Mine: Huh... Yeah.

Iken: *she goes to the other girls*

Arigaoa: *since she was watching them, she returned*

Mine: Hiki is talking about two different things and you should be talking to her through the right medium.

Hiki: *sees Arigaoa* Hmm, she's here...

Arigaoa: I heard you found a Smart Brilliant Novel, can I read it?

Iken: No...

Arigaoa: Why not?

Iken: Because it is personal.

Hiki: Iken...

Iken: Oh, I didn't mean to say that. Here you go. *holding the novel to Arigaoa* There's a lot of imaginary poems inside, but they are very accurate to real life for the most part.

Arigaoa: You consider that real life?

---

Ryuuto: *scrolling through his computer* Hiki... Is an animaliouse, an animaliouse is... Eugh, it's an animaliouse.... *struggling* Even with my intelligence, I can't get this kind of thing. Besides, it's too... I don't know, weird. What are those Pretty Cures up to?

---

Shikuna: *she had arrived and is talking to Inuyama*

Arigaoa: Now that we are all here, I want you to let you all know about the Smart Brilliant Novel.

Iken: It's the first time that she lets everyone know a new item, if my memory serves me correctly.

Shikuna: And that is?

Arigoa: It's a Smart Brilliant Novel!

Shikuna: Tell us anything about it.

Inuyama: Do, Arigaoa-chan!

Shikuna: Yeah.

Arigaoa: Hehe, it's a very interesting item. Each side of the paper has a different telling about the worlds, if you combine all of the Smart Brilliant Novels you can create some amazing weapons! Like a magnet...

Faith: But do we have all of them?

Arigaoa: No, but we have the ability to make them. Also, the weapons made out of these can be combined to make other weapons as well.

Shikuna: Can't you just do that with magic? Also what if they get broken?

Arigaoa: Then you'll be damned.

Shikuna: M-My mind wasn't ready for that answer...

Hiki: I have to go...

Iken: Huh?

Hiki: I have to return to my world, it's an emergency... I-I don't want my princess to be worried about me.

Arigaoa: N-No! Don't leave us so early... *tears run down her cheek* Please... stop...!

Hiki: I told you all that the princess would get worried if I stay here for such a long time.

Hiki: Farewell, no, not farewell, see you again. *she smiled despite everything and ended inside a gateway*

Iken: She's gone...

Faith: But she said that she will see us again.

Arigaoa: I truly hope that it isn't just to make us happy...

Iken: *cries softly and calmly* ...

Arigaoa: What's the problem?

Iken: I'm fine...

Arigaoa: You are not fine. You're crying.

Iken: ...I'm really fine, you don't understand.

---

The Cures were now outside.)

Arigaoa: Iken, we'll cope with this together.

Melns and Kikzdkolds: *dancing and yelling at the same time*

A poisonous BeKan appeared out of nowhere! It came out of the grass and tried to strike them!)

Arigaoa: AAAGH!!! *she was blinded by the sun, tried to hit it even with the blindness and that state, now transformed*

Iken: *transforms, hitting it* /It's not killing the BeKan/

BeKan: *hits Cure Intello and eats her alive*

Cure Intello: *since the BeKan is heavy, she was feeling really pressured*

Melns and Kikzdkolds: HAHA!

Cure Smart: WHAT?!

Kikzdkolds: (Translation: SHE IS GOING TO BE HECKING DESTROYED STUPID PRETTY CURES!)

Cure Bon: SHUT UP! SHE ISN'T! AND YOU'RE THE STUPID ONE, YOU CAN'T UNDERESTIMATE US! GET REAL! *really meaning it*

Melns and Kikzdkolds: Nuh-uh po po ow!

Cure Intello: *not only is she really getting pressure but is now toxic* Ugh...! I-I cannot take it anymore... Argh...!

The BeKan swayed and pushed itself. Cure Intello struggled but couldn't get away, she screamed and received tar on her, poison and tar are too much. The Cures saved Intello, making the BeKan falls on the ground and Intello get out of her effects.)

Cure Reason: H-Hrmm...! Get this hope! FAITH PRAYERS! *she did her attack*

BeKan: *dying?* BEKAN!!!

Cure Reason: Do not talk... Reflect on your own actions...

The Cures detransformed and the villains disappeared.)

Iken: *shaky* ...

Mine: Iken...

---

Iken: Hiki, if you're here, remember me. We've had a good time, I don't want to lose you...

Hiki: Iken?

Hiki opened her paws and reached to Iken...)
