But if, not...
Erika, who was holding her hands on her chest, shivered for no reason. She thought of a possibility, but she didn't want to continue thinking about it.
"Calm down, Erika."
The delicate fragrance coming from behind and the weight on her shoulders made the girl, who was filled with fear, wake up from her imaginary nightmare.
Another clean piercing blow solved Desertrian. Yuri, who landed gracefully, put his hands on Erika's shoulders and looked up at the seemingly endless meteor shower. "There must be a way, and we Pretty Cure are trying to find the only way to victory in such a crisis!"
"Well, if we Pretty Cure all lose our composure." Lei, who had just gone to bring friends and family, including the citizens who had not yet become crystals, to a safe area also fell beside him, giving Erika an encouraging look. "Who else can save this world?"
"That's it... but - ah, it's true! It's not me, Mr. Erika, who is secretly distressed!" Erika, who was not used to this uncomfortable feeling, simply burst out the depression that was suppressed in his heart and yelled regardless of his image. "I, who have a heart wider than the sea, can't bear it anymore for this guy who casually disturbs everyone's happy holiday."
Everyone's hearts still haven't given up, but if you look closely at their well-proportioned and slender thighs, which are stained with dust from the battle, you can see that their ankles are trembling slightly like cramps.
After a long period of all-out fighting, the strengthened body began to feel really tired.
A huge black shadow suddenly cast down, completely covering the place where the four were in darkness. They were instantly reminded of the sense of crisis stabbing their temples like pins and needles. The girls turned around at the same time and saw an extremely huge Desertrian, estimated to be hundreds of people tall, walking over with heavy steps. Its scarlet eyes were firmly locked on them.
"Boom——"
The giant Desertrian slammed down with a mountain-like fist, but it did not hit the ground directly. Instead, it was supported by the palms of four pairs of girls first. As the spiritual light overflowing from the four Heartcatch members burst out, they all shouted in unison and pushed hard. The Desertrian, which weighed tens of thousands of tons, was pushed backwards by the girl who was not even the size of her own fingernails.
The huge bodies smashed into the office building behind them. The buildings made of human reinforced concrete structures were like soft cakes under them. They fell into pieces at the moment of contact. There were countless short circuits and explosions in the building due to squeezing and collision. With countless huge flying sparks wrapped in the debris around them, another monster fell to the ground.
"Pretty Cure Shiny Fortissimo! (Pretty Cure Shiny Fortissimo)"
Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe, Cure Sunshine raised the tambourine and used "Golden Strong Whirlwind" to form a huge light ball above her head. The remaining three people simultaneously used "Flower Energy Super Fortissimo" and passed through. Their bodies were soaked in golden light and turned into a ball of light. They instantly penetrated the huge mountain in front of them, leaving only a soul-shaped gap in their chest after being captured. After the Desertrian explosion, petals bloomed and fell into the ruins.
"No... if we continue like this, we will really be knocked down!"
Itsuki, who was kneeling on one knee, took a big breath of fresh air. It was obvious that the move just now consumed a lot of her energy.
"I don't want it, I don't want to lose to Desert Apostles at this time!" The most encouraging reaction was Lei. The more people gain, the more unbearable it is to lose. "My sister... or maybe my brother hasn't been born yet! I haven't become a sister yet, and I haven't let his Heart Flower bloom again, how could he fall here!"
"If the enemy fell from the sky, it means that the real enemy is outside the earth!" Looking up at the sky that was completely shrouded in darkness with no stars or moon, Yuri almost broke his teeth. "But... what to do?"
Although the cloak can fly, the elves are not adapted to the cosmic environment without Heart Tree, so they are limited to the atmosphere. How do they get to the universe?
Even if they can fly up after taking 10,000 steps back, what will the people who are still on earth do now? Are we going to let Desertrian people do whatever they want during this period of time? If their family members were also attacked and turned into crystal...
"If we can have support... support?"
Just when Lei felt trapped in a dilemma that made her grit her teeth, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and seemed to see a very familiar pink streamline.
In Desertrian, who was constantly wandering in an attempt to turn the world into a desert, a light left several criss-crossing pink streamlines in the air. The light jumped between them at an extremely fast speed, and every time it beat, a medium-sized heart-shaped wound would fall on Desertrian's chest, causing the huge body to collapse.
Lei couldn't help but turn her head and look, eyes wide open. The light was not as dazzling and charming as when they gathered, but it was faster and more decisive than them!
And this pink light is so similar to the petals that fell along the way and finally landed on my fingertips... No! With such a sense of déjà vu, Lei instantly realized that it was not that she was similar to herself, but that I was similar to her!
In this case, the true identity of this being that is rapidly approaching here is exactly——
"Grandma?!"
"Cure Flowe?!" After hearing Lei's voice, the other three people reacted instantly and shouted out the name of the person who came. It was Pretty Cure from the previous generation, Du En's beloved "Flower Angel".
Her long pink hair and white dress lengthened to her waist like a winding waterfall. The pale yellow wreath on her head swayed gently in the breeze. She didn't have any trace of the aging look of an old woman who was nearly seventy years old before her transformation. Her youthful skin and face were still as beautiful as spring, which seemed to indicate that time had not taken away any of her splendor after her transformation.
"Yo~" As if her body became younger, her heart also became younger. This beautiful lady with a granddaughter naturally greeted her juniors.
"I heard you need support, so I'm here."
Chapter 209 Seniors
The image once borrowed by Heart Tree to talk to Ash, the previous generation Pretty Cure, the main body of Pretty Cure who sealed Duan decades ago and made him miss him, the legendary warrior named [Cure Flower] (Flower Angel) now truly appears in front of his stunned descendants.
"Is it really, really me?!"
As Lei's senior, Yuri, who had learned more about this old senior's deeds from the elves, opened his eyes wide regardless of the character's collapse, because the scene in front of him was too shocking.
After all, warriors from decades ago, existences that could no longer be reproduced in theory, walked out of the legendary scrolls to fight alongside them.
And this gesture... what's going on?! Although Lei's grandma is in great shape due to exercise, the signs of aging on her face and body are inevitable. But at this moment, the transformed appearance in front of them still maintains her best youthful and beautiful appearance. This is really great - I mean it's so shocking, isn't it?
Hearing Yuri's confused cry, the women in front of them smiled and assumed a very familiar pose. They raised their hands to their chests and made a flower continue to bloom, which was the symbol of the Heartcatch roll call.
"A flower shining in divine light, Cure Flower!"
An eyeless Desertrian was attacking Cure Flower during the roll call. Before anyone else could shout a warning, they saw a green fluffy one directly hitting it. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was the mascot with dull eyes who acted as a comfort pillow mascot for girls in the botanical garden. Grandma's elf partner "Science".
In the past, when they encountered powerful enemies, were bullied to tears by Ash, or simply felt tired and wanted to rest, the girls would come to grandma's botanical garden, hug the furry science and bury themselves in the fluffy fluff. The incomparable feeling of comfort healed the girls' budding hearts, so no one would ever think of this "big cute thing" in terms of fighting.
But now, Koppu has changed from the cute and cute furry image in the girl's memory. He captures the enemy in front of him with ferocious and ferocious eyes like a beast. The big sausage mouth that opens and roars is actually full of fangs. He raises and waves the two furry claws that are usually used to hug and heal them. The sharpness and huge force quickly tear open the enemy in front of him alive.
"Kopé-sama is so handsome!" The voice of the partner came from the cloak on the shoulder, and the girls woke up from their dazed gaze. After all, the scene in front of them was too counter-intuitive and shocking, just like a certain history geek in your class suddenly told you that he was the devil and completed the transformation in front of you.
"Is this the true strength of Kopé-sama..." Lei only knew that Koppu could transform into the handsome boy his grandfather looked like when he was young, but facing his current ferocious appearance, he could only sincerely sigh that he was indeed the elf who had been partnered with his grandma for decades.
She patted her partner's plush shoulder naturally, and looked quite nostalgic when she saw its hair sticking out.
"When you were still in your mother's belly, I was already protecting this world. Don't forget it."
"Lei's grandma turned out to be like this after her transformation... so handsome!" Erika stared at the tall, beautiful and handsome Cure Flowe in front of him, imagining how "handsome" he Mirai would look, with his mouth wide open and drool almost dripping out.
"But, but, didn't grandma exhaust her power and lose her ability to transform when she sealed Duen decades ago? Why now?"
Lei, who quickly took over the topic, did not let the question go astray. At the same time, she also asked the question that everyone was most curious about.
"Of course it's like this in normal times, but it's different today." Lifting up the circular necklace hanging on his chest, he could see the indescribable darkness crawling inside. "All my power in the past was used to seal Duen's power here, but only at times like today Christmas, miracles often happen."
"The happy mood generated by the festival caused Heart Flower, which bloomed more vigorously than in the past, to feed back to Heart Tree, allowing it to flourish and bloom, and also gave me extra energy to transform."
The moment she finished accumulating energy, she transformed and ran over, but even so, it was still a step too late.
"Grandma—Grandma!" Looking at the grandma in front of her who was so similar to herself, Lei's eyes turned red for no reason and she threw herself directly into her grandma's arms, and was patted on the back affectionately. "She really loves to act coquettishly... What's wrong, Lei?"
"We fought hard against the enemy and brought everyone we could find to a safe place, but -!" Looking up again at the mature woman in front of him, Lei held hope in her chest and held back tears to seek answers from her. "No matter where you are, I can't find where Ash is!"
"I don't believe that a person like him would fall silently somewhere!"
People like Ash, even if they die, will definitely shout slogans and cause a scene before dying laughing!
"Xiao Lei..." Holding his granddaughter in his arms, running his fingers along the gaps in her pink hair and feeling her thoughts, Cure Flowe couldn't help but complain about the "culprit".
Not only my Lei, but also the four Hyundai Pretty Cure have all turned their attention to me.
Really, the atmosphere of Heisei is really different from Showa, and this guy actually "stole" everyone's Heart Flower in one fell swoop and didn't treat them well. He even did so many things that felt sorry for them, and he dared to act like he didn't see it and was just looking out for himself.
Although I don't know if you did it intentionally or unintentionally, you are Pretty Cure's biggest and most evil enemy!
"Lei - I know it may be cruel, but I want you to prepare for the worst." While comforting her with her hands, she poured a bucket of cold water on everyone.
After all, Du En, their opponent, has nothing to do with kindness. It is more likely that he used Ash's incident to stimulate them and induce flaws.
"But if he is really still alive." Perhaps feeling something in his heart, Cure Flowe looked up at the dark sky.
"He is definitely somewhere, maybe in the enemy's lair - doing something cool on his own!"
While the Pretty Cures were being burned by fire, the former Dr. Sabaku and now Tsukikage Eimei put on the coats they had worn as enemies in the past, and silently put the weapon in their arms.
Just as he was about to open the door and leave, he felt his waist being hugged from behind. This feeling was that of the wife he felt most sorry for. He could feel her tears of reluctance soaking the clothes behind his back.
"Do you still want to leave me?"
"Sorry, if possible, I don't want to." After a moment of silence, the man who finally wandered back to the shore from the darkness personally pushed back the helping hand that was extended to him. "However, my two daughters are outside. As a man and a father, I want to watch from the sidelines. I can't do it!"
"Then you have to come back, everyone, definitely!"
He let go of his hand without hesitation and tenderness, and Tsukikage Eimei nodded vigorously. It wasn't until the tenderness was completely gone after walking out of the door that he took out the revolver again.
"If you kept this thing on purpose, it must be useful."
"If someone must die, I hope that person is not you, but me."
Chapter 210 The Successors
Ash, as a guy who has made his granddaughter cry several times, Flower Angel has naturally studied this guy carefully. If this man who is simply the incarnation of contradiction does not appear at such a critical moment, then there is only one possibility. He will definitely go around and bump into him for something he unilaterally believes in!
If you are still alive... then get ready for me! I must give you a good lesson. After all, you have caused so much trouble to my Lei and the younger generations, mostly because of your awkwardness. I will not spoil you like this with Lei and the others!
If I don't let you eat and learn a lesson, as an elder, I can't swallow this breath!
So——
Stay alive, boy!
The situation on the battlefield quickly changed due to the addition of one person. Although the current Cure Flowe could no longer release the signature purification ability of Precure, with the rapid strikes and strong guidance of her addition, everyone finally had a chance to breathe. After quickly clearing the surrounding enemies, an extremely tense combat meeting was held based on the current situation.
"There is no doubt that with this intensity of attack, now is our final battle with Desert Apostles!"
Cure Flowe raised his index finger and pointed directly at the sky above everyone's heads.
"You should also have heard that the worst enemy from the past, Duen of Desert King, is definitely watching us from beyond there!"
After all, she was the one who sealed Du En into the depths of the universe. She probably came here seeking revenge.
"Fortunately, as the source of our power, Heart Tree, the most precious core of the earth, has not suffered excessive attacks. It is a fact that we can still transform."
"But it's impossible for Dune to not attack this ready-made weakness when he returns to Earth. This shows that there must be something hindering it, allowing it to destroy Heart Tree without even taking a breath."
Speaking of this, Cure Flowe paused for a while and then had an epiphany. She seemed to understand where the "missing" Ash had gone.
But looking at the expectant eyes of the children in front of her, she decided to stay silent and not tell them about this possibility.
"Although we have secured our most important rear area, Heart Tree itself has no fighting power. She can only try her best to support us with the miraculous power of the earth."
"I understand!" He slammed the table in front of him and almost climbed onto it. Erika's eyes flashed. "Since Heart Tree is so important, we have to start a war of attrition around Heart Tree, right?!"
Cure Flowe shook his head. If they do this, even if Heart Tree can support them from behind and deliver a steady stream of energy, it will become an endless attrition war with no end. Even if they can withstand it, people on the earth cannot withstand it.
"Duen chose to use the military sea tactic in order to make us exhausted in the attack on Desertrian. But as the saying goes, what the enemy wants us to do, we have to do the opposite! Only in this way can we best attack the enemy's target!"
"So we have to do the opposite, temporarily abandon our defense, knock down Du En, who has not yet reached his peak, in one go, and end all this!"
This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous and "suicidal" way of fighting, so Cure Flowe scanned the eyes of everyone present with extremely stern eyes. What made her feel gratified was that the girls' pupils only had perseverance and no flinching.
Everything they have experienced has become part of their extremely strong hearts.
That's really respectable, successor.
"But if the enemy is in space, how are we going to get up there?"
"Shiffre They are still too young, so they can't do it, but I will take you up if we learn more about it."
While everyone was thinking about whether it might work, looking at her grandma's gentle smile, Lei suddenly felt something in her heart and hurriedly asked.
"But if this happens, what will everyone on the ground do?"
What if, after finally fighting fiercely, they return home and find that everything has turned into sand, wouldn't they still lose regardless of whether they defeated Du En or not?
"I am the only one who can hold it, so I will stay on the ground and try my best to find a solution."
"No, grandma!" Lei shouted immediately after hearing this. She clearly understood that although grandma was strong enough, this time it was all based on everyone's power borrowed by Christmas. It would not be surprising if she ran out of power and suddenly lost her transformation.
If this happened during a battle... Lei didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"Cure Flowe, this method, please make a decision again!"
"That's right! There's no need to let grandma take risks. There must be a way to get the best of both worlds!"
"Wu——" Kopp never spoke, but just made a whimpering sound at this time.
"No need, the time now doesn't allow us to get entangled!" She stood up suddenly, and everyone could see the long-lasting realization in her eyes. "If we continue to delay now, we don't know what will happen to Duen, so time is what we must strive for, no matter what, we must be quick!"
And if I stay on the ground, Duen will definitely find a way to distract me in order to seize my power. Once distracted, no matter whether it is a human or a ghost, he will make mistakes, which will create opportunities for Rei and the others!
"Besides, don't worry about me, even if the worst happens..." Cure Flowe looked at the four juniors in front of him, and his eyes became gentle for a moment. "I am completely satisfied to be able to watch Lei grow up, and even watch her become my successor. I have lived long enough and have no regrets at all."
"Grandma————"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps approaching suddenly attracted all the attention. They almost immediately changed direction and prepared to fight, but they couldn't help but froze when they saw the person coming.
"Shaback—No, you are!"
"Dad!" Yuri directly called out the identity of the visitor. As soon as he appeared here, Tsukikage Eimei took out the "Gear Closure Gun" that Ash had given him and finally repaired it, and put it on the table.
"There is a way to get the best of both worlds!"
