---

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Honoka Yukishiro just watches Nagisa, passed out on the floor, then turns to the two little creatures. "So... ummmmm... what _are_ you little things?" she asks. Honoka and Nagisa are in a storage shed by her house, and her dog Chuutaro is there too.

"Well, my name is Mipple. I am the Princess of Hope! I have waited a long, LONG time to meet you, Honoka-mipo!" chirps the pink 'fairy'.

"Hmmmm. That doesn't really help. It's good to know your name, but _what_ are you?" asks the perplexed Honoka. (She doesn't get perplexed very often.)

Mipple ponders, yawning again, as she glances over at Mepple. "We are from the Garden of Light. We came here, to the Garden of Rainbows, because... ummmm.... the Dusk Zone attacked us! They're big meanies-mipo!"

Mipple looks pleadingly up at Honoka. "Ummmm... not the puppy-dog eyes... what do you want from Nagisa and I?"

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Nagisa slowly stirs. She has been passed out for a few minutes. She blinks a few times and carefully stands up to see, The things that caused her to pass out in the first place! "Unbelievable! I got hit in the face by an alien talking plushie! What did I do to deserver this!"

"Hey! We are not plushies! We are residents of the Garden of Light-mepo! My name is Mepple and I am the chosen protector of the Princess of Hope!"The yellow and blue fairy snaps, sullenly. He poofs back into the cellphone like object. "I think there is trouble coming. We need to go!"

Nagisa is at a loss, she shakes her head, "I don't know who you are or where you came from but, You just hit me in the face! Why should I go anywhere!?"

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Mikoto has been keeping an eye out for things falling from the sky, ever since a massive chunk of spaceship punched a hole in a city park and sparked off a massive magical battle. So when she's out flying at night, she keeps a sensor spell active just in case. (It also helps to warn her if there are any low-flying aircraft about to cross her flight path.)

So when Carnwennan's sensors inform her of a small object falling about a block away, with what seems to be low-level magical emissions, it's definitely worth checking out. For all she knows it could be a MidChildan child's toy. Or it could be something more interesting.

A Belkan spell-glyph briefly illuminates an alleyway as she dons Tessen's cloaked and skirted Barrier Jacket, not feeling the need to be Miss Blue tonight. She takes to the air, heading in the general direction of the magical emissions she'd detected...

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Honoka Yukishiro just watches. "Trouble coming? What is the Garden of Light? The Garden of Rainbows?" She just looks puzzled.

Mipple turns back into cellphone form and opens up, her little face is there. "This is what we call your world. The Garden of Rainbows! And there is trouble coming! Pick me up and I'll guide you-mipo! You two are going to have to deal iwth it - it's the Dusk Zone, coming for us!"

Honoka sighs. "Well - they are cute, and if there's trouble, and they think we can do something about it, we should at least check it out." She smiles faintly as she picks up Mipple. She feels Mipple tugging. "Whoa - she's pulling me!" she chirps. She heads in the direction. "Do you need both of us?"

"Yes, of course we need both of you!" chirps Mipple. Honoka shrugs as she heads towards the street, waiting for Nagisa.

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
"If you don't hurry the dusk zone will come for us here and they will hurt everyone and Mipple -Mepo! You both have to do something-mepo! Mepple looks at Nagisa and gives her the poutiest look imaginable.

Nagisa frowns and sighs a little as she hears both of the little creatures give their accounts of the Dusk Zone coming. She looks at Honoka who is already being pulled out the door. "Fine, if its for everyone's safety I guess, we can try to do something. Nothing weird going to happen right?"

"Of course not -mepo. NOW MOVE IT!"Mepple shouts at Nagisa and practically pulls her clear out the door.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa was sitting in front of her mirror and brushing her hair out. She didn't used to care a lot about her appearance. She was that strange odd girl. She just combed her hair and that was it. Then the mirror flashed over in bright blue. Haruna was used to this!

"Blue-sama!~ What's up?" asked Haruna. Blue merely smiled that muted smile that he did. Kindly. Not big. Just a little sad. Blue was a deftly handsome slender man in a white shirt and blue slacks. He subscribed to the 'Kunzite school of shirt wearing'.

"Haruna. Something important is going to happen tonight. I don't think it's too dangerous, but should go chase some shooting stars tonight. Could.. you do that for me, please?" he asked. Haruna blinked. Blue-sama didn't really--- 'order' his Pretty Cures around. He asked. There were others of course, he could ask- but for whatever reason- Blue saw fit to ask her first.

Thusly..

< Rollin' Mirror Change! >

Cure Gull was out in the air--- she was currently a featureless streak of green light moving back and forth through the air. Corvus was on her shoulder, holding on for dear life as he usually did. Gull was taking the request literarly, she was trying to keep up with the occasional actual shooting star up in the night sky. She saw one that looked... closer but...

Hrm.

Was that it? She came to a dead stop.

"What do you think Corvus...?" she asked the Seagull who had to climb up onto Gull's shoulder from practicaly her back.

"I dunno. Not sensing anything untoward. Yet."

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
"Okay, I know we're in the general neighborhood, so where is this thing?" Tessen asks of her Device.

(("The emissions are of minimal strength, Meister. Triangulating."))

A pair of Wide Area Search spheres split off from the girl, heading out at right-angle courses to each other, zipping a block or three out in order to get a better read on where the object might have fallen.

She waits, patiently, hanging there in mid-air. And then spots a convenience store, and decides to zip down and get a soda to have while she waits.

She's just gulping down the first swallows of her cola when the Device chimes in with its results.

(("Signal is moving, Meister. Vector zero-seven-three mark one-seven from current location.")) It isn't a compass reading, but relative to her own position and facing.

So she takes another gulp of cola and waits a bit longer to refine the signal, then nods. "Alright, let's go." And it's back into the air and onward and upward gee whiz!

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Honoka Yukishiro waits a bit for Nagisa, but then both phones are pulling the two girls. "Where are we going?" she asks suddenly as she runs at full speed to keep up with the relentless tugging. "There is an agent of the Dusk Zone here! He's after the last two Prism Sontes-mipo!" comes the voice of Mipple.

"A... Prism... Stone? What are teh Prism Stones?" asks Honoka as she is realizing that they're heading in the direction of the amusement park -w hich should be closed by now, right? "The Prism Stones, seven sacred stones, are the source of all light and power for our world! But the Dusk Zone invaded - they took most of them! The two of us managed to sneak away two last ones. You have to help us get them back-mipo!" Honoka sighs as she stops by the gates to the amusement park. "Do you mean it's here? But it's closed!"

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Nagisa is holding on for dear life. Good thing these creatures arent stronger. Her arm would be ripped out of it's socket! She does listen to Mipple as the prism stones are explained which is helpful if someone really knows the gravity of the situation. Nagisa doesn't yet.

Now standing in front of the Amusement park, The redhead looks at the closed gates. "I guess this is where the trip ends. This place is closed until tomorrow. We can come back and chase off this dusk zone guy then?"

"Go in -Mepo!" Mepple orders expectantly.

"We can't This place is closed. How do you expect us to get in here. Walk through a closed gate?"

"There's gotta be a way in -mepo, so find it before THE DUSK ZONE DESTROYS THE GARDEN OF RAINBOWS AND THE GARDEN OF LIGHT! Mepple shouts at the girls, being a brat and just flat out ominous.

"Okay okay! Yeesh are you always like this!" She glances around and finds a tree at about the right height. "Honoka-chan, this way!" Quickly she makes her way to the tree and starts climbing, making her way to a branch closest to the wall.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Eventually, the trace leads Tessen to the general neighborhood of an amusement park, which appears to be closed for the night. (It is, after all, February.) As she's flying, it's relatively easy to get over the fence, and she ignores it completely. She doesn't spot the two youngsters climbing over it, either.

"Prepare to initiate a Barrier, 'wennan," she orders the Device.

(("Ready to comply, Meister. Trace source is still moving, new vector three zero four mark two two."))

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Honoka Yukishiro just stares. "You have got to hbe kidding..." she murmurs. "Fine." She follows Nagisa up the tree, and slinks across it. Wtih a graceful move, she gets over the wall, clings to the branch, and gracefully lands on her feet as if she's been climbing trees all her life. "Silly little creatures, we could've hurt each other." She looks around. "All I see is an amusement park that's... not doing anything. "Well - there is a dark presence here. It's hiding - watching-mipo." She blinks. "Hurry up, Nagisa. You're supposed to be the sports star. Never climb a tree before?"

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Nagisa Misumi rolls her eyes. Thats what she gets for making sure the science nerd makes it okay first. "Do you see any trees on a Lacross field?" She asks and then, She attempts to show off.eeNagisa springs out of the tree and attempts to go over the wall. Well that part is successful. She doesn't manage to stick the landing though. As she hits the ground, she bangs herself up a little. More importantly, Mepple goes flying in a wild spin!

"Waahhhhhhhh Make it Stop!!! Stopppp Spinning me!" Clack! The device hits the ground as it comes to a full stop.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa looks to the theme park and blinks. "Eh..?" she asks. Corvus blinks. "Woah, you felt that too. Must be pretty bad... I wonder if this has anything to do with what Kami said..." he mutters under his breath. The two begin taking off towards the theme park...

****

Something horrible and dark materializes in the theme park. It became aware of the two denizens of the Garden of Light the moment they 'woke up'. It was pulled from it's hiding spot amongst many others in a street- taking the form of a wild, biker-like man in the crowd. It slipped into the darkness of an alley and dissapated--- and stepped out of shadow-- at it's foot was the phone Mepple had taken the form of it reached down and picked it up.

"If you give me the Prism Stone, I will spare your miserable life."

The man was dressed in some sort of black cat-suit-- which some weird, kabuki-actors like cloak shrouded around. His hair was wild, and white- eyes and face lined in facepaint-- white with red tracing the eyes.

The others here did not appear to be of consequence to him. He ignored them- they were just humans. What could they do? Flail at him?

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
(("Meister. The readings have strengthened considerably. On the same vector. Continue ahead."))

Tessen nods. "Right. As soon as we're within fifty meters, go ahead and erect a barrier. And send a text to Vicki, tell her I'll be late to tonight's study session."

She perches atop one of the park's small food stalls, and the rotating triangle-cross Belkan spell-glyph appears briefly... and the Barrier washes out from her location, spreading across the park. Colors are slightly desaturated wherever it passes, and any non-magical people seem to disappear as the magical parts are pushed slightly out of phase with the rest....

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Honoka Yukishiro just looks around. "What is this?" she asks softly as she sees that Nagisa fell out of the tree. The tow girls were not affected by the barrier - they are still there. "Ummm... David Bowie just died. Have some respect," she yells to the creep.

"Oh noes! He has Mepple! We have to get him back-mipo!" chirps the other cellphone, shaking and quivering in anxiety.

Honoka stares. "Ummmm.... any suggestions?" she asks. "I mean - he doesn't look that tough." She decides to simply run at him adn try to snatch the item from his hand. Making sure that Mipple's tucked away safely.

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
"Ow!" Nagisa winces and stands back up. At least she cleared the wall. She looks up and sees, What? Something about this guy is really creepy, It could be the crazy hair. It could be the fact that he is funky looking cloak. Most likely though its those eyes. Those creepy eyes that just look wicked. "Hey! Give him back! He doesn't belong to you and you can't have..." Whelp there goes Honoka.

Mepple, meanwhile is panicking as much as anything could possibly panic! "No! You can't have the prism stones! You'll have to kill me first. Help!!! Help Nagisa! Honoka! Mipple! Help me!!"" He cries out for all he is trying to wiggle free of the evil man's hand.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
And that is the situation Tessen discovers when she finally finds the center of the mess: A man facing off with two kids, holding a screaming... something... in one hand.

She holds back, unsure of what exactly is going on. Is the man holding the Mepple hostage? Or is it something like Kyubey, and he's trying to protect the girls from it? She doesn't know. So she dosn't act.

Yet.

But above her in the air, slivers of light, translucent as oil-sheened glass, form in the darkness, swirling about. Waiting.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
The man in the odd outfit reaches a hand out and---places it to Honoka's forehead. This does not take particular effort to keep Honoka at bay with a hilarously minimal amount of force on his part. He's stronger than he looks.

With a push he aims to shove Honoka back- possibly to her butt-- or otherwise push her away. "Do not interfere." he says, apparently to the girl. It's hard to say, he doesn't actually look at them. His eyes keep focused down on the odd cellphone.

"If you do not give me the Prism Stone, I will take it by force." he demands, reaching a hand down towards the cellphone.

This may be unpleasent if no one makes an earnst effort to free Mepple.

Meanwhile, Cure Gull is still making her way through the air in a hurry. Corvus is flapping right beside her!

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Honoka Yukishiro was stopped cold by just having his hand put on her forehead - she strains but she can't budge. "What in the world? This guy looks like an anemic 80s rock star, but he's super-strong!" Then the push send Honoka backwards as she falls over. "Owwwwie..." she states as she slowly rises up. "You gotta get Mepple back!" squawks her 'phone'. "Any suggestions? Whatever this guy is - he's very strong... he could really hurt us!" She rises to her feet and brushes herself off. "You gotta keep trying! We can't let him have the Prism Stones!"

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Nagisa Misumi watches as as Honoka goes down. She winces. This is bad. What can she do? What IS there to do? She shouldn't even be here. She should be at home studying for a test or something... at least if she did study. She should be resting up! There is a big game this week and she needs to be at her best!

Then she just looks at Honoka. Then at Mipple. Slowly she looks up at the terrified Mepple. There is no backing out. This is her team right now and they need her. She takes off running. Its a burst of speed that screams well trained. She goes at top speed toward Pisard. "Give Him BACK!" she screams as she delivers a hard, fast body check. The type that she's delivered a hundred times over but never with this much fierocity.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Tessen has been watching the confrontation, and the more she sees of this man's behavior, the less she likes him. Sure, the thing he may be confronting the girls over may be as bad as Kyubey... but he's a grade-a jerk about it. And she just doesn't like him.

On the other hand, it wouldn't do to give away her presence just yet. But her training comes from a Belkan Knight-Commando. She can do stealthy.

"One ping only, Vasili," she whispers, in a rather bad faux-Scots accent.

Carnwennan knows what she means. A single Flicker departs from the ever-growing swarm orbiting above her, lashing out to strike Pisard's chest simultaneously with Nagisa's tackle.

It wouldn't cause any real injury by itself - but it will add considerably to the momentum of the other girl's attack, and give her a chance to recover the whatsit without betraying Tessen's own presence.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
By itself, the check would be enough to catch Pisard off guard and loosen his grip on the phone. With the addition of the flicker shot, it's enough to send him back a bit and knock the wind out of him. This cactches him off guard. How does a girl strike with such strength?

Or maybe it wasn't the girl at all, his eyes trace up to Tessen as the phone goes flying from his hand in the strike-- back towards Nagsia.

He doesn't look too happy about this. He raises his hand and fires off what appears to be your standard beam of dark energy at Tessen.

"Do not interfere." he says, asking again. Not a man of many words. Nope.

He's distracted.

Cure Gull is able to see the blast as her eyes widen. "Woah what's going on!" she says. She's almoooost there.

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Nagisa usually catches things with her stick. That doesn't mean she can't catch with her hands if necessary. As the phone goes flying towards her, she springs up into the air and makes a catch worthy of some professional sports. She comes down and lands.

Mepple who is looking semi-sick at this point, pops open, "Quick you need to transform -mepo!" Mepple exclaims. He sounds exceptionally nervous over this whole situation and honestly, who could blame him?

"What? What do you mean, Transform! I can't transform into anything!" Nagisa exclaims as she backs away towards Honoka.

Mepple snaps back, "Use the card in the slot -mepo! Her eyes point downward to the commune card slot.

Nagisa blinks a few times and reaches into her pocket. "Oh The cards!" She pulls out the little deck and begins looking through them. "Which one!"

"The Queen Card! That one -mepo! He states as she puts her fingers onto the Golden card.

Quickly she takes the card and swipes it through the reader on the commune. Taking Honoka's hand, she calls out instinctively, "DUAL AURORA WAVE!"

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Honoka Yukishiro sighs in relief, along with Mipple, as Nagisa manages to re-capture her phone. Then Mipple, also, says "You have to transform too-mipo!" Honoka blinks. "Huh? What do you mean?" she asks. "Use the Queen Card - the golden one!" She then grabs the golden card and slides it through the slot. She then takes Nagisa's hand, and suddenly something happens to her. "DUAL AURORA WAVE!" she yells, simultaneously with Nagisa.

A brilliant pillar of rainbow light engulfs the two. Inside, the two girls start changing into new outfits - Nagisa into a black top and a skirt-shorts with boots decorated iwth red hearts, and Honoka herself into a white dress decorated with blue hearts. Then the rainbow pillar dissolves and thw two warriors appear. "Emissary of Light! I am Cure White!" she declares along with Nagisa's matching declaration. "Evil spirits of darkness..."

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Nagisa is stunned as she strikes her pose. Quickly without thinking, she speaks out, "Emissary of Light! I am Cure Black!" Waiting for Cure White to say her words, She follows up with,"Return to the Abyss where you belong!" She winces and frowns, "Did I really just say that?"

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
"Yes, you did," calls Tessen, rising from her crouch atop the stand and levelling her sword at Pisard. "I've heard worse." She shares a light, pleasant smile with the girls.

"Seems to me, you're outnumbered, old boy. That's usually not a good position to go on the attack from. Especially when you don't know your enemy's abilities."

She flicks the sword-blade, and a little vortex of mana swirls out from it, to slam into the pavement at Pisard's feet and blow a nice divot to demonstrate for him. "If you really intend to do battle... then know that your foes include a Knight of the Grey Rose."

For any serious student of Ancient Belka, the mention of the Graustiegrittern would be... significantly intimidating. Mikoto seriously doubts that this fellow is such a scholar, however.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa looks back down because... there's a flash of light--- it's strong enough that Pisard has to shield his eyes. He's not able to see what happens when the Dual Aurora Wave hits. When it's gone, his expression changes from one of steely, confident resolve to one of perplexment-- and then frustration---"Pretty Cure..." he says. So..it's happened. Were those two girls really the fated warriors of legend?

Cure Gull finally makes touchdown somewhere behind the two emergency Pretty Cure and stands up from a rather hard landing-- haven been amazed at the sudden outpouring of-- rainbow light and positive energy. Corvus is on her shoulder. "The wings of hope, that soar across the sea, Cure Gull!" she calls out throwing a hand up--- because that felt appropiate to call out. Okay. Now she sees why Blue-sama sent her out here. But. These Precure don't quite feel.. or look, like Blue's brand of Pretty Cure. Maybe that's why Blue wasn't able to tell her much else.

"Hey guys, who's David Bowie over there!?" she calls out. Corvus shivers. "Bad reading. Dark stuff. Powerful Dark Stuff." he insists.

Pisard looks more and more agigtated. Pretty Cure- the Emmisaries of the Light. Some unknown Pretty Cure, and a mage. Mikoto has a point. He is hilarously outnumbered.

"I am Pisard. of the Dusk Zone. If you refuse to give me what belongs to me...

He jumps upwards and away from the group and lands on the top of a tent-- he flies as if he had wires- except he clearly does not. It's time to even the odds.

"Spirits of darkness, heed my call! Come forth and help your master....!"

There's a swirling of darkness in the air-- as if a storm brews overhead-- something dark and terrible swirls from the vortex and moves to inhabit the roller coast--- things happen-- they shift--- and the roller coaster turns into some sort of terrible mechanical millipede as he roars off the tracks!

"ZAKENNNNNNA!" screams the beast.

It attempts charge down into the varied opponents on the ground. Here it comes!

Mikoto currently seems safe from the Coaster. Not from Pisard.

He fires another burst of dark energy at her.

It seems the odds are still not even, but they're better than they were for the denizen of the Dusk Zone.

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Cure White just blinks. She steps back, her dark eyes widening as the roller coaster comes to life. "You have GOT to be kidding," she states. "This defies all scientific principles!" she yells. She watches the roller coaster. "Here it comes!" She backflips out of the way, and ends up doing a triple. "Hey ummmm...." "Her name is Cure Black now, as yours is Cure White!" "Fine. Cure Black! Looks like we got some moves!" She then gets a running start and does a flying kick at that roller coaster monster - and she moves far faster and stays airborne far longer than she should as if gravity decided not to pay much attention for a little bit.

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Cure Black looks down at her self for a moment and then at the inbound Roller Zakoaster. She shakes her head, "Science went out the window with rainbows and transformations!" She exclaims.

"You'd better move, Black!" Mepple exclaims as the coaster comes flying towards them.

Quickly she does the exact same triple backflip as Cure White! She sticks it. "You're telling me, Cure White!" She takes off towards the coaster as well and turns loose a barrage of punches on it.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Unfortunately for the 'Denizen of the Dusk Zone', Tessen's defenses are more than adequate to deal with blasts of dark energy. It's nothing she hasn't encountered before. She's pushed back a bit when the blast splashes off the shield-glyph that materializes before her, but she sets her feet, grits her teeth, and tanks it.

She has to chuckle a bit at White's complaint of the 'bad science' involved. For Belka, magic was science. "To paraphrase Sir Arthur Clarke, my young friend, 'Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from technology."

She waves the sword again, and a trio of mana vortexes lash out towards Pisard, much faster than the last one. (("FLAKSCHRECKEN!"))

And then she takes to the air once more, leaping across the park, from stall to stall, denying the enemy an easy target...

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull blinks at the two other Pretty Cure and her eyes light up. "OH! Are you two new? Do yourself a favor and just follow your guuuuuut!" Corvus clears his throat. "..and listen to your talky animal buddy!". Corvus nods matter of factly. "That's right!" says the seagull.

"Hiiiii Tessen!" calls out Cure Gull loudly. "Lemme know if you need help handling Flock of Seagulls over there!" she calls out.

She turns back to the other Pretty Cure and huffs. Okay this thing must be... thier monsters? Like... how those Storybook Pretty Cure have Akanbes! And... she has.. Terribads! And they're dark! So---!

"GULL CUTTER!" calls out Gull as she takes to the sky to evade the charging coaster, her wings lightly up--- she throws a rathe feather that spins like a blade towards the coaster.

Hand in Hand, Cure White and Cure Black smash into the Zakenna, causing it rock! It screams out: "ZAKENNA!" and it stops and rears back, lifting it's self up and position itself like a snake about to strike---it throws it's wheels about on it's front--- two slamming out towards White, Black, Gull and Mikoto-- they burst into high speed flame!

Pisard doesn't look too happy and Pisard leaps upwards--and continues going upward... and upward.. and... he floats. It looks and feels like there should be wires there- as the attacks hit where he was. He's faster- and stronger- than he looks. He throws out his hands---and various things are picked up in the park--- and begin to one by one be launched at Mikoto with devestating efficeny and speed--- as if something was jerking them upwards and causing them to accelerate.

"Interference will be punished!" he frustratedly yells out.

Cure Gull in the meantime, has her eyes go wide as she evades flaming wheels--- Corvus spins along with her grabbing onto her shoulder as she spins to the right--acccccck!

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Cure White squawks as she manages to jump over one flaming wheel and simply punt another one right back at the monster with a powerful kick. "So... I think we can go Fire and Dark type? Too bad it's not as cute as Houndoom!" She glances over. "Follow our gut?" she asks as she hmmmmmms, jumping up high and using herself as a human missile, feet first, seeking to land a devastating two-footed stamp right on the thing's face. Mipple in her side-pouch shakes and then chirps, "Alright, ladies. Soften him up a bit more, and then we'll tell you how to defeat him!" White raises an eyebrow. "Oh really. There's an easier way?" she asks, hopefully seconds from impact.

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Cure Black is hit with a flaming wheel and goes flying backwards. She does a quick flip to right herself as she gently touches down. It hurt alright but she is okay. "Its not a Pocket Monster, White!" She calls out as she hears her trying to make sense of it."

When the girl with the bird tells them to follow their gut, that gives Cure Black an idea! She springs upwards towards the Zakenna. This time she lines it up to come down on the creature with a powerful punch. "Cure White! Get in here, I've had enough of this coaster clown! Time to shut it down!" She exclaims as she pummels it.

"Yeah! This is what you get for messing with the Garden of Light! Let em have it Cure Black! We'll help you finish it off after you've weakened it a little more. You can do it! You are Pretty Cure!" Mepple is definitely being a cheerleader and he's doing a pretty darn good job of it.

Black just keeps wailing on the creature. She isn't stopping. Not in the least!

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Tessen is, it must be said, very good at keeping the bad guy distracted while someone else slips in for the finish. Right now she's keeping his attention, hurling more Flakschrecken every few leaps, all the while summoning more Flickers.

With flaming wheels and other debris hurling forth at her, however, she'll have to expend a few of them. Or a few more. "Defensive shot," she orders, and the Device announces its compliance. A pair of slivers of light descend from the heavens as each item comes near her, slashing it apart and letting its remains splash harmlessly on her shield. Of course, using them up like that makes it hard to use them to attack....

"Quicker, girls! Don't forget who the real enemy here is!" Defeating the monster is important. Defeating Pisard is, to her mind, vital, or else he'll keep summoning more monsters. She's too busy holding his attention to put much into offense, right now... but the more he sends at her, the less he's sending at Black and White.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
The Zakenna has a rather large feather sunk into it's front which causes it to yowl in pain-- which gives enough of a setup for Cure White to plow down into it hard and fast-- with Cure Black following it up with punches. The Zakenna wails in pain and then thwips it tail out towards Cure White and Cure Black in an attempt to give itself space.

"That's righhhhhht!" calls out Cure Gull. "Corvus, think this is thing is almost dead? Or should we go punch Sting over there?". Corvus sighs. "You know, Gull, calling him names doesn't make him any less of a threat."

Cure Gull sticks her tounge out. Nyah!

She instead calls out--- "GULL WINDY HURRICANE!" and throws her hand up, wind building up around it-- and then she throws her hand forward in a chop, a torrent of wind throwing out towards the Zakenna., trying to entrap it for the other two to do thier thing!

"ZAKENNNNNNA!" screams the coaster.

Pisard has had quite enough of dealing with Tessen it seems, as he throws his hand out-- a barrier of darkness forming, as he tanks the shots. The Dark General winces-- it's taking energy to do this, and his very being is energy. He isn't a corrupted human or a corrupted ideal he's just... corruption, given life. He throws out his hands- and nearly invisible lengths of Kabuki wire fly out from his fingers and try to slap out toward's Tessen-- trying to slice against her like tiny blades.

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Cure Black backs off as Cure Gull traps the Zakenna. She quickly gets close to Cure White as hey, They are sorta together in this. "Okay Mepple, Mipple, what should we do. I don't think we can beat it up anymore. Lets do this, then we can go smack the tar out of David Lee Roth up there."

Mepple is quick to respond. "You need to take Cure White's hand and call out Black Thunder -mepo. That will start off your big attack!"

Black shrugs and looks at Cure White, "Here we go!" She takes White's hand and puts her free hand in the air. "BLACK THUNDER!"

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Cure White shrugs. "The power of love, huh?" she whispers. Mipple echoes her companion and says, "Take Black's hand and call out White Thunder-mipo. And then... let the power guide you." She then reaches forward and takes Black's hand. "WHITE THUNDER!" Two thunderbolts crack down from the sky - one black as night, one bright as day and impact their respective Cure. They start glowing with a prismatic rainbow. "We step out of the darkness and we summon the light!" Upon hearing Black's echo, the two thrust their hands out and yell, "PRETTY CURE MARBLE TWISTER!"

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
"Oh no not again!" Cure Black mumbles as she echoes out the line, "We join together to set things right!" As the attack is called out an explosion of magic in black and white twists forward slamming into the Zakenna. The force is strong enough to push the two girls backward.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Tessen's smile vanishes as Pisard tanks her latest shots. Well. That's not very nice!

His latest blast slams into her shield, the spell-glyph straining to protect her, crackling with energy as it holds off the dark blast.

Focusing her own energies on the shield, Tessen can launch no further attacks herself. But there are still a goodly number of Flicker Shots orbiting her, and she calls on the remaining light-darts all at once, sending them slashing down at the Dark General to spiral about him like leaves in the wind - except that each 'leaf' is a more-than-razor-sharp shard of energy.

It's probably good for her that she did focus on the shield. Because either this attack is stronger, or she's grown weaker from expending as much energy as she has. After several moments crackling under the strain, her shield cracks, then shatters, and the last energy of the dark bolt slams into her.

Knocked back by the blow, she tumbles from her perch, hurled through the air to fall with a thud to the ground below.

The fallen Knight is lost from sight, the stall structure concealing her from easy view of the battlefield, and her Flickers are expended in her last-ditch attack. If she is even still conscious, it is impossible for any to tell, at this moment.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull beams "Alright! Let's do this! WINGS OF HOPE! TU---"

'Pretty Cure, Marble Twister!'

The Marble Twister rockets out across the theme park's grounds as it hits home into the Zakenna and seeks out the darkness--the Zakenna begins to loose cohesion and the black spirit rockets from the coaster----some sort of strange force taking hold of the coaster and---promptly putting it where it came from--- the spirit suddenly breaks out as it yells out----

Into a variety of tiny stars that rain out among the ground. "Gomen, Gomen, Gomen, Gomen. ;_;" they all repeat as they begin to hop away.

"uurrnnnnnnn....... into a.... sacred...." she trails off as she blinks and then calls out. "THAT WAS SO COOL! WOAH!" yells out Cure Gull. She doesn't notice Tessen fall because she's too caught up in this fight.

Pisard floats out of the way quickly of any attacks and when one looks like it's about to hit.... he just phases out of existence and reappears. He hrmphs as he watches Tessen Fall. Good. He thinks. Now the matter at hand. Pretty Cure.....

He watches however--- as the brillant mix of black and white rockets out across the grounds and causes him to cover his face and his form from the sheer explosion of obvious positive energy rocketing out. He seethes.

Well. That was a miscalculation.

"This isn't over, Pretty Cure. The Dusk Zone will aquire what it rightfully owns." he calls out.

Then he simply up and vanishes into a fade of energy-- dissapearing back to wherever he came from.

Gull lands on the ground and yeas! loudly. "That was awesome! You guys are awesome!" she calls out. Corvus sort of facepalms at the cringe of Gulls current bravdo.

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Cure White just watches. "Whoa..." she states. "That... was... AWESOME!" she chirps. She's still holding Black's hand, as if it's the most natural thing in the world. "So... hi there. I guess I'm Cure White and she's Cure Black." She looks around. "Hey wait - where's the other girl, who was keeping she asks. "Anyone see her?" Suddenly Mipple suddenly changes back into faerie form. Mepple-mipo!" she chirps as she runs over to Black, quite sure that in short order, Mepple will make an appearance, and then Mipple will hug him silly. "So - you're one of these Pretty Cure too?" she asks blankly to Gull. "You called yourself Cure Gull or something?"

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
"Yeah... Awesome." Cure Black is slack jawed and very wide eyed over this. She gives a little smile to Cure Gull. "Yeah, I'm Cure Black. Nice to meet you." She blushes a little and nervously looks over at Cure White. She isn't bothered by the spotlight. Though she is more accustomed to wearing a uniform and holding a lacrosse stick for it.

"MIPPLE -mepo!" Mepple pops out of the card commune and runs over to Mipple. They hug and hold each other. "We found them -Mepo! We found the Legendary warriors! We found Pretty Cure!"

"What happened to the other girl? The one who Ziggy Stardust went after."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull blinks. "The other....? OH! Oh my god, Tessen, where did she go!?" she calls out. "TESSSSSEN!" she calls out. She tugs out her Cure Line and begins texting madly on it, sending rapid texts to Miss Blue's phone in the vein of 'omg are you okay!? dio ran away!' She does look up thoughtfully and smiles.

"I'm Cure Gull, yes! I'm a Pretty Cure, yes!" she beams. "This is my partner... Corvus!" she says. A seagull? Named after a crow? That should sound familiar to Honoka. Corvus nods! "It's a pleasure!" the seagull says. Because yes. It talks.

She crosses her arms. "Kami-sama sent me out because he sensed something important was going to happen tonight..." she says tapping her chin. "Not that I expect you to know what that means... you guys just don't look like one of Blue-sama's Pretty Cures-- and I'm sure he'd had known what was going on if you were." she smiles.

"So you guys are new...?" she asks. She notices the blush and eyes Black. "Don't worry." she smiles. "You get used to the costumes and it grows on you fast, but yes, there's other Pretty Cures out there!" she says.

She looks around. "That was Tessen... She's a friend of mine. I dunno where she went to. I'm trying to see if she responds to my text. If not we should go searching...." she mutters.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
As if on cue, there's a groan from behind the stall, and a thud as Tessen tries to get to her feet and doesn't quite manage it. She succeeds on the second try, however, and staggers back out, leaning heavily against the wall for support.

"Hey," she croaks, smoke still seeping from her scorched Barrier Jacket. Her cloak took most of the blast, it seems, but there was enough force that she isn't really feeling too great. "... you get 'im? Tall, dark, and mouthy?"

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Cure White squeaks as she finally lets go of Black's hand and runs over. "Are you alright?' she asks as she looks Tessen over. "Well, somehow Cure Black and I did this massive attack called the Marble Twister. Oh, I'm Cure White. And... he muttered a threat like on some 80s kids cartoon show and disappeared." She then turns back to Cure Gull. "Well. I believe I've met you before, Corvus. I can't believe there'd be TWO pet seagulls who were named after a crow which would make you..." She raises an eyebrow. "Well, suffice it to say it's pretty obvious but I'm unaware of protocol in this situation..."

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
The black clad cure goes over to check on Mikoto as well. "You aren't too hurt are you? If you need help to the hospital we will be glad to help you there." Black frowns. This is a lot for her to take in. She's usually the one to be playing rough games like Lacrosse or wrestling her little brother. None of that is life threatening.

"Umm, Cure White, Are you sure about this? This is really dangerous. We could have been killed. Cure Black clearly looks a little worried over the whole thing and for good reason.

Mepple perks up, He looks at Cure Black worriedly, ""You can't quit Cure Black! You're a legendary warrior! You're a Pretty Cure! It's your destiny to save the Garden of Light!" He explains hoping he's getting through to her.

"Oh, Hey Cure Gull. Nice seeing you out here. You too Corvus." She smiles a little and can at least put that much together.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
"Meh," says Tessen dismissively. "Shoulda seen me... couple weeks ago. This stuff... happens all t' time." Her hoarse speech is interrupted frequently as she draws ragged breaths. At least, she doesn't seem to be bleeding...

"'ll be fine. Jus' need rest... purge t' dark energy." That stuff really isn't good for anyone. "How 'bout you two?"

That's when she recognizes the green figure she'd seen out the corner of her eye as Cure Gull. "Hey, Gull-chan. Taking the newbies under your wing?" Her breathing already seems a little easier. Then she coughs, heavily and gratingly.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull pads over to Tessen. "Tesssssen! Sit down already! Yeah he ran away after saying something like a jerk." she crosses her arms and turns to face White and Black. Corvus blinks. "Eh? Oh. Yeah. No problem there if you /know/ but..." he waves a wing. "Protocol is follow your gut. Gull here isn't exactly stingy with who she is anyways."

Gull crosses her arms and turns away from Tessen. "We-ll a bunch of bad people know who I am anyways so what's the point of hiding it from friends and-- other Pretty Cure even! We're all practically like kid sisters anyways!" she huffs. "Well.. maybe not that close." she huffs some more. "But... if I can't trust a Precure.. who can I trust!?" she beams. She turns to White.

"You shouldn't take those threats lightly. Do you guys know what you're up a against." she looks to the two fairies. "Hey, you two are these guys partners, right? Did you tell 'em what they're up against yet?" she asks.

"Or was this a spur of the moment thing?" she asks. She listens. "Garden of Light...?" she asks, head tilting. "Okay so that must be what you're protecting then or saving!" she smiles.

She looks back to Tessen finally and pats her shoulder. "Are you going to be okay?" she asks her. "Do you need me to take you back to your home...?" she asks.

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Cure White nods. "I was just being polite," she muses as she moves to sit by Tessen. "Well - let's see. Black here wished upon a shooting star and it beaned her in the face. Became Mepple. Then I took her to my place to check her out and my dog was freaking out, and he led me to Mipple. The two appeared, and then told us there was trouble here and dragged us - more or less literally - and then the roller coaster attacked." She shrugs. "So - talk, you two." She turns her gaze to the two faeries.

Mipple smiles faintly. "I already explained a little bit. We are from the Garden of Light, a beautiful realm covered in flowers and happiness. Then the Dusk Zone invaded. And... they won. They took five of the seven Prism Stones - Mepple and I managed to escape, taking two of the seven - whoever holds all seven stones has the power to create - ultimate power."

White hmmmms. "What's our role in all of this? And... you also mentioned the Garden of Rainbows or something?" She raises an eyebrow at Black.

Mipple smiles. "This is the Garden of Rainbows - what we call your world. And you are Pretty Cure. The legendary warriors who will defeat teh Dusk Zone and recover the prism stones from the forces of evil. And... this was an easy fight compared to what the Dusk Zone can throw at you."

White grins. "I'm in. It sounds like fun. I love explosions and stuff like that." Considering how many times Honoka has reportedly blown up the school chemistry lab, this is probably very true.

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
"This is unbelievable! You can't be serious, White! This is really dangerous. As in we could wind up dead! Not just us, What about our families? What about this planet?" Black is really struggling with this. She takes a seat on a bench and thinks a few minutes.

Mepple hops up on Blacks lap and starts, "If the Garden of Light falls, The Garden of Rainbows will too. Everything will go to darkness. You and Cure White are the hopes of both Gardens. You can't give up."

Black sighs and nods, "Okay. Alright, I'm in."

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Tessen nods to Gull, and reaches up to squeeze her hand. "Said I'll be fine," she insists. "Jus' need t' rest." She quiets, listening to Mipple's story, and smiles, a little sadly. The little creature makes it all seem so simple. So straightforward.

She doesn't bother to correct it. The girls will learn in time. She did. She survived it. "Welcome t' the fun, White, Black. Congratulations." Her smile grows a little more genuine, or perhaps she's just trying harder.

"I should get m'self home and t'bed... gonna have a headache the size of the moon tomorrow." She taps the sword, now tucked into a scabbard at her side. "Dimensional displacement, partner. Winter Moon."

(("Affirmative, Meister.")) A few moments later, the spell-glyph forms at her feet again... and rises up through her, erasing her presence. When it fades, she is gone.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull crosses her arms and listens... "The Garden of Rainbows. That's a term I've heard for Earth, yeah, but only from like... Blue-sama." she says. She thinks a little. "I wonder if Blue-sama knows anything about this..." she says thoughtfully. "--wait you guys are fighting that creepy dimension that just sits, like, around Earth!? Woah!" she says. "That's a scary place." she nods matter of factly.

She keeps her arms crossed.

"Anyways. My job is to defend Earth. Well- right now... The Phantom Empire has my priority. They want to sink Earth into misfortune and do this by trapping people in 'Mirrors of Despair' and turning thier happiness into a monster called a 'Terribad.'...." she huffs. She peeks over Corvus. "Speaking of which..."

"Corvus, that didn't end up in a new PreCard for me , did it!?" she asks. Corvus shakes his head. "Nope. You stopped mid attack because you were kinda watching that massive beam crash into the thing."

"Phooey." huffs Gull.

She looks around and raises her PreChanMirror and her henshin fades and the 'Cure Gull' Precard slides out of the Mirror. She carefully puts both away. Then Cure Black goes on about Family-- and seems distressed. She frowns as she steps forward and places a hand on Black's shoulder. "Hey..." she says softly.

"...I know what it's like.. to worry about family, and those you care about most in this-- and-- your friend has it right. If you fight.. you can protect them from the horrible things out there because-- it's not just this 'Dusk Zone' but... it's The Phantom Empire, and The Bad End Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom and 'Noise' and lots of other really horrible groups out there!" she says.

"Are you just going to... stand there, and let these groups hurt people now that you know about it, and-- and can do something about it!?" she asks, throwing her fists up in front of her with determination!

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Cure White nods slowly. "We'll figure this out one step at a time. Maybe for now we should go home..." She hmmmmmms. "Alright, guys - let's turn this off..." And with that, White's white dress shimmers and she returns to her normal appearance. Not that it was very hard to tell - who else would know off hand that Corvus is a stupid name for a seagull? She smiles. "Will you be ok?" she asks her partner, but does turn to see Tessen vanish. "Wow. So teleportation can actually happen?"

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Cure Black smiles a little, "You're right. I can't not do this. Even if it kills me." She sighs and just smiles. "Besides, We're awesome magical girls now! Whats the worst that can happen?" She laughs.

With that, her henshin fades leaving her normal self standing there. "That is pretty cool! It would be sweet to teleport like that. I guess this means we have a couple friends from out of town to look after now, huh?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa blinks. "Oh! Yeah some people can teleport. Not everyone. But I can also turn the bow on my back into wings when I'm a Cure and most Cures can't do that. Everyone's a little different. I do know most Cures share the well---" she makes some fist motions and karate chops at the air. "...ability to punch things very well!" she beams. "..and some of us have secondary elements, but not everyone. Like I can do 'Wind Magic' if you could call it that..." she says.

"My sister does 'Water'-- she's Cure Tide!" she says. "Together, we're Ocean Spray Precure!" she insists.

She then blinks rapidly...

"Oh!.... you're those two girls at Midori-ya the other day!" she says. "Okay I get it now!" she smiles. "With the Corvus stuff!..."

"Yeah.. um. If you two. Need help. Lemme know! I can introduce you to some friends of mine. Maybe answer some questions if you have any." she sort of fishes a slip of paper from her pocket and offers it over. "This is the number to my Cure Line. Call me if you need to~" she says with a smile.

Corvus gives a little wave. "I don't normally talk out in the open. People question a talking bird. Also..." a blush. "Thanks for the danish n' all that." he mutters.

"But yeah.. get home. You guys are probably gonna sleep well tonight for be sure. This stuff is so tiiiiiring." she giggles.

Honoka Yukishiro has posed:
Cure White nods. "But if it's also good exercise, then it will help us keep in hsape - not that Nagisa needs it, she's an athlete, but I welcome the diversion. I think I'm going to enjoy this," she cooos. "But thank you for the phone number." She watches her mascot turn back into a cellphone. "Ready to go to bed, Mipple?" "Awwwww. I guess so..."

Nagisa Misumi has posed:
Nagisa Misumi smiles and looks to Mepple, "Time for you to go to bed too, Mepple. We gotta go home and my family will think I'm insane." He does turn back into the card commune but... Sadly that isn't the end of it.

"Awww I don't wanna go to sleep! I wanna stay up and stay with Mipple -mepo! You wouldn't say no to love, would you -mepo?" Immediately he begins giving big sad eyes and a pouty face.

"Uh uh! That isn't going to always work on me and it definitely isn't going to work this time! Honoka-chan is going home and Mipple with her. You are coming with me so you can't stay with her anymore tonight. Don't worry you will see each other soon."
