Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Agent Dragon chases the TRIANGLE SYNDICATE through an alley. He must rescue the Prime Minsiter's daughter within 24 hours, or perhaps some sort of international incident will happen! Uzi fire happens back and forth... Agent Dragon catches up to his prey!---they burst out the other side of the alley....

"CUT!" yells the director. Everything comes to a stop. It's a movie. "Alright, that was a good take, I think we can use that one..." he says to the actors.

Nearby watching behind barricades a good distance away is a small crowd. There's a young boy, about the age of twelve who's part of this group- the crowd is probably family members of the acting cast- along with people who maybe stumbled upon the set and we're allowed to watch.

"So Cool..." he says. He can imagine himself. Being an actor. Yeah. Doing his own stunts.. living a dream even if it's for the benefit of others enjoyment in movie theaters.

"Nonono!" says a voice walking up to the director. "This action movie is too loud! There's absoultely no /drammmmma/." says the behatted, odd man. (http://tinyurl.com/hq8p7h7) He hrmphs and places his hands to hips. "Don't worry. I'll do you a favor and take over. This will be a wonderful drama now!" he says.

His head tilts over to the bewildered crowd as the makeup around his eyes glows red.

"Ohhh, this is a strong one-- you. There. /Show me your dream!/." he says, some sort of black keyhole appearing over the kid's chest. before it opens wide to reveal....

'I want to be an action movie star, and make people happy with my movies!'.

"Ugh. Typical." says Shut.

"Shut your dream!" he calls out--- the Zetsuborg flying out as a single black rose appears in his hand- from his chest, toward's the boy--- trapping him into a cage of desperation---

Which creates a large Zetsuborg that kind of looks like a director of sorts. With the beret hat, and some sort of large clapperboard.

"Zetsuborg!"

People now begin running.

"Hey-- wait! You can't leave the set, I haven't said so yet!" calls out Shut. Yeah. He didn't think this entirely through.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Cure Flora is patrolling, with little better to do at the moment. Puff and Aroma are safely back in her dorm, with Siamour holding some kind of Royal Fairy conference with the other two. Flora suspects this may just be something to do with Aroma being a negative nelly lately, but she isn't going to speculate too hard on that one.

Somehow, patrolling to get away from that awkward mess has paid off. The pink Princess Cure hears the screaming and sees the running, scattering crowd. She leaps, gracefully, over the running crowd to stare down the Zetsuborg, glancing around for Close. He's nowhere to be seen, but some weirdo in a top hat, with a rose in hand, seems to be hanging around in his place.

"How dare you make a mockery of dreams while employing the noble rose! Do prepare yourself!" Flora announces, launching herself over the zetsuborg with a powerful leap.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Among the extras, a silver-tressed young lass is having the time of her life, and imagining herself a movie star in no time. This is her first time in front of the cameras, and she might well be overacting just a little. All she's doing is buying a coffee from a street vendor, and getting it knocked over by the hero as he rushes past her. It's a pretty simple role, no speaking lines at all...

But, heck, cat-girl's got stars in her eyes. And some loonie is crashing the party, going on about dreams. And people are falling down. Well, all except A Certain Cat-Girl, that is. And a few unimportant others.

With a tinkle of breaking glass, she throws off her human guise, revealing the white-furred ears that poke up through her hair, the lashing tail, and the claw-tipped fingers.

"Hey!" she shouts, trying to get the zetsuborg's attention. "This ain't a horror movie, so bug off!"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori had been chatting up a friend of hers on the sound crew, trying to sort out what the upcoming concert's going to sound like, what kind of work goes into movie audio and a few other things, general friend and associate chatter. The shouting, the dream thing, that sounds like it's her kind of thing! She watches everyone start to run and tries to duck between convenient parts of the set to disguise what she's about to do next! She reaches out and pulls hard on something, calling out, "Grasp the cord of fate!". Surrounded by red cord, her still grey armor is formed and it ends with her huge darkened sword. Hefting it, she steps around the corner and points it at the creature that she's pretty sure counts as a nightmare right? Maybe there's a thief thing around. Right?

"Who are you to complain about his dreams? There's a lot of work that goes into these movies, especially the action stars!" Wait, can she have a do-over, that wasn't that heroic. Grimacing, she calls out more confidently, "Not going to let whatever you're up to happen!"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Shut is now sitting in the abandoned director's chair. He has one of those cone megaphones. Who the hell knows where he got it. It wasn't there before. He has his legs crossed and looks absoutlely bemused.

Besides him, hovering up and to the right, is the Cage of Despair in which the boy is trapped. He isn't moving much. Unlike Naru, he isn't strong enough to resist's it's effects.

"Ah.. you...." he says to Cure Flora. "You look exactly like how Close described. Stunning-- absoultely beautiful." he insists as he holds the rose between two fingers. "Of course. I still am going to have to handle you. Dyspear's orders and all~" he sings out.

Then he snaps to the others. They get considerably less respect. "Well. Aren't the rest of /you/ all nasty and impolite." he spits.

"Zetsuborggggg... Action!" he calls out through the cone megaphone as the giant Zetsuborg brandises it's Clapboard and with a mighty /CLAP/ a rock of sonic force echos out from it's location toward's the heroes trying to blow them away.

Or blow out ear drums.

"Zetsuborg!"

There's no one's manning the camera now. How was he expecting to make his own movie again? :I

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Flora drops from the air towards the Zetsuborg, angling herself to deliver an absolutely vicious drop-kick. She lands after the kick on one knee, flower petals swirling around her. "I don't care if you try to flatter me or not, I will free that dream you have locked in a cage of despair!" She whips up and around to punch at the Zetsuborg.

Her hair is a flurry of motion as she launches, glad that her angle has put her the other way from that clapper board.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Hikari shakes her head, briefly, and growls under her breath at Shut's dismissal. "I'll have you know that I am the epitome of grace and elegance!" she yells at him. Cat-ears sweep back as the wave of sound rolls over her, knocking her back a few steps.

She claws at the air between her and the Zetsuborg...

And as a silver-gleaming spell-glyph forms at her feet, chains of light erupt from the street to wrap around the monster's wrists and ankles, straining to hold them bound in place! She might not be able to hold it for long, but hopefully it'll be enough for the PreCure girl to get a few good shots in....

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori winces at the sound, though at this point she's far enough away from the source that it's just ringing in her ears and not anything worse. Tilting her head left, then right, she starts to run forward towards the creature, sword slung over her right shoulder, balanced precariously there as she draws her left flintlock and fires a bolt of fire towards the director, mostly to keep him from making more noise because that was seriously loud.

Leaping into the air on a pillar of earth, she holsters the flintlock and grabs the sword in both hands and tries to come down on the zetsuborg, which she's dubbed a nightmare mentally because seriously, what's a zetsuborg? Sword point held down, she tries to crash into it, at the least to use the momentum, her armor and the sword to throw it off balance. This is only after realizing that the catgirl was trying something. When was there a catgirl?

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Flora kicks hard down into the Zetsuborg, from an angle that keeps her out of the path of that clapperboard--- then chains binds up and around ankles that doesn't help matters- because what should had been it sliding across the ground ends up with being slammed down to it's back. This leaves it open for the mighty strike to it's chest with a "Zetsuboooooorg!" it screams out.

Shut.... seems oddly non pulsed by this as he is literarly smelling that black rose as he talks. "Well if you can't accept flattery that isn't my problem." he insists. His eyes look to the cat girl, and he rolls his eyes. "I completely disagree. You are 'pretty' at best." he insists.

"Zetsuborg...... RETAKE!" he calls out into that cone.

There's some sort of dark flash of power as---- the Zetsuborg reappears back where it was before everyone started hitting it. It looks kind of ragged- so it obviously hasn't healed itself, but most of that heavy damage is gone-- it's no longer held in place by binds.

"ACTION! THIS TIME WITH FEELING!" Shut calls out.

"ZETSUBORG!" calls out the creature as this time it attempts to swing around that board directly into Cure Flora, rather than re-try that clapperboard manuever.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Cure Flora yelps as the clapperboard whacks her in the side, skidding into the ground a way. Still, she gets up and glares at the thing, glancing over at the others fro a moment. She skips sideways toward Hikari.

"Can you do that thing again? I want to try something while it's chained up," she says, softly.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Hikari was just starting to get ready to crush the blasted thing in her chains, when all of a sudden it was just gone.

Oh, wait. It's back over there.

The spell-glyph reforms and starts to rotate, and she nods to Flora. "I'll be glad to give it a try. Promise me you'll kick it's arse!"

And then she's ready for it, and this time a full dozen chains lash out from the earth's surface to seize hold of the creature.

The strain is visible on the cat-girl's face as she focuses, the demands of the spell taking her full concentration and more.

Miles away, in her warehouse laboratory, Mikoto looks up from her latest experiment as she feels the drain from her familiar and purses her lips. "Right, 'wennan, lock on to her coordinates and be ready for a teleport if she needs help...."

(("Affirmative, Meister."))

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori looks surprised when she both lands the hit and when she's suddenly stumbling towards the ground as her cushion is suddenly standing again. Hefting herself up, she draws the sword from the ground and flicks it behind her, knocking any dirt, monster bits and anything else free. Bringing it back around, she hefts her sword around, holding it at the ready and watches the other two. "Uh- should I maybe hang back then?" since they have a plan, she doesn't know them and she's afraid to get inbetween an attack and them or to make the chain thing harder.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Chains rise back up to try to catch the Zetsuborg!-- and they succeed! This thing isn't exactly nimble and fast. "Zetsuborg!" it screams as it tries to free itself-- thrasing about--- it then blares SPOTLIGHTS from it's shoulders-- that seem very bright and seem to be trying to shine into Hikari's eyes for distraction.

Shut sort of just covers his eyes a bit. "Ugh, too /bright!/ Hurry up and defeat them already!" he calls out through that megaphone!

It seems like this is giving enough time for Flora to try what she wanted to, at least- it /is/ being held down for the moment with that binding spell.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Flora pulls out her Key and Perfume. "Pretty Cure, Princess Engage! Mode Elegant!" Flora's skirt lengthens in a swirl of bright-white energy, to something further resembling a ballgown. "Pretty Cure Floral Tourbillon!" She claps her hands together in front of her chest, tilting them out at the heels to form a 'v' shape. Swirling pink flower petals whirl between her palms, and she throws them at the Zetsuborg, letting the whirlwind explosion of flowers circle the Zetsuborg.

"Gokigen'you," Flora says with a curtsey, eyes fixed on the Zetsuborg. She hopes the flowers connect, teal eyes focused intently on it.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Hikari's ears go flat back as the spotlights blaze, and she squints into the bright light to try to keep an eye on the monster. Really, it's easier to just watch the tension on her various chains, and that's what she ends up doing. It's visible difficult, the tension in her slender form is hard to miss, but she's determined to give Flora the chance to finish it off.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori finds that she doesn't get an answer in the slightest from the other two, so she shouts out, "Fine then, GET DOWN!" With her hand to her eyes, she dashes forwardd, swinging for the creature in what can be best described as a hatchet chop. "Any time either of you want to clue me in on your plans, I'm happy to help out!"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
The Zetsuborg, manages to break it's chains-- through sheer force. But sadly, it's too late by that moment, because Cure Flora is full Elegant Mode by the time it's ready to bring it's clapboard to bare. At the same time, Yuzuki comes down with a swing to knock it's attack off balance---

Which leaves it to be hit by the Tourbillion uninterupted-- it's caught up in the mighty purifying blast of energy as it calls out---

"Dreaming...."

Then the Zetsuborg disspates into nothingness.

Shut sort of eye twitches a lot as he stands up. "RETAKE!" he calls out.

Nothing happens. He sort of blinks and sort of throws the megaphone like cone down and begins to step on it and smash it into the ground. "Ugh! Useless! Now I'll never see the perfect movie." he cries. How sad for him.

He hrmphs and points at all the heroes. "I won't forget this!" he calls out accuisingly at the heroes as a keyhole like portal appears above him and he floats upwards into it, before it fades away into nothingess! Seems he's run away!

The boy in the cage is left there. Waiting for Flora to go about freeing him, and the dream.

Haruka Haruno has posed:
Flora hops to it, popping the key part of the dress up key out, unlocking the cage of despair and reaching up to catch the boy with a soft smile on her face. After all, he's safe now.

She lays him down somewhere safe, smiling at the other two girls. "Thank you for helping, you two. I don't think I could have done it without either of you."

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Hikari straightens, relaxing visible, as the spell-glyph - and chains - fade into nothingness. "Glad to help, it's only right."

And miles away, a young Knight relaxes as well, her worry for her young partner assuaged.

"So, another new bad guy throwing monsters around, huh?"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori shrugs and says, "Communication helps when you don't know the others helping out." before pulling her sword free from it's place and wandering off to remove her armor. Seems she's kind of grumpy after both her chat being interrupted and being a third wheel.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
The boy is freed, the dream is too! Things are now... back to normal. Well except the abandonded set. Seems Shut is done for the day! He's probably whining back in DysDark already about his failure.
