Kamen Rider is the Villain in Pretty Cure

After all, maybe there's nothing else I can do besides being a hero who saves people.

The pitch-black "Rampage Energy" flashed like a glaring ink drop within the pink Mirai Crystal.

The man opened his bright red mouth wide.

The woman parted her pale, thin lips slightly.

"Time Fire!"

The crimson flames of the future enveloped the man, and the battle suit from another future world encased him within the world of fire, fully equipping the warrior.

"Mirai Crystal, Kokoro Sparkle."

Shaking the shining Light Heart, the surging Tomorrow Energy transformed the girl's body, infusing her with an endless source. Her light pink bangs drifted down, obscuring her eyes.

Gazing at Time Fire in the shattered mirror at his feet, the man, filled with vexation and rage, leaped towards the Doomsday Monster above him.

He had never blamed the person in the mirror so much before.

Gazing at Cure Yell in the murky pool at her feet, the woman, heavy-hearted and lost, walked slowly towards the Doomsday Monster before her.

She had never hated the person in the pool so much before.

[Side Story]Case File 57 Eyes That Walked into the Void

"It's all over!"

Yakushiji Saaya, once a beautiful actress, was now completely consumed by the inner darkness born of misunderstanding. The Rampage Energy erupting from her body buried her deeper in despair. Now, neither her mother's pained cries nor her friends' calls could reach her once kind heart.

"It's all over!"

Shouting such despairing words, the colossal monster, with a tragic, human-like expression painted on its face, broke through the building above it. It swatted away the surrounding structures that bound it, and people, covering their heads amidst the falling debris, fled to safety. Fortunately, the "Doomsday Monster Incidents" of the past eight years had taught people how to escape.

However, there were still some who, for various reasons, were reluctant to leave.

"Saya, Saya!"

"It's too late, Emiru." Gritting her teeth, unable to bear looking at the Doomsday Monster above, Homare, still remaining in the venue, dragged the reality-unaccepting Emiru away. "It's good that Hana and Dr. Ash aren't here. We need to escape quickly!"

Otherwise, if Saya were to witness herself harming her friends, it would be more painful than killing her!

"But—Saya actually!"

She had never heard of a Doomsday Monster being able to be created from a human!

While the reality-unaccepting Emiru was still struggling, the walking "natural disaster" descended from the sky. The colossal Doomsday Monster's wildly flailing tentacles were smashing towards them.

"Waaaaah—"

This time, it's really over!

Facing the destruction that could not be resisted, they could do nothing but scream.

Amidst the roaring dust and smoke, two beams of light, one red and one pink, flashed across.

"Are you okay, Emi—Miss!"

"Ye—Miss Yell!"

Instantly soaring into the air, when the nervous and uneasy Emiru opened her eyes, she saw a Pretty Cure walking on light in the refreshing wind. Her eyes immediately sparkled like she was seeing an idol.

"You're here! I knew you'd come!"

"Yeah..."

The gusting wind caused her pink bangs to cover her eyes, and the shadow cast made Emiru unable to see the momentary loss of sparkle in her eyes.

"No matter the time, I will always come."

Regardless of the weather, regardless of the time, regardless of the day, regardless of what I'm doing, as long as a Doomsday Monster appears, I will come, because this is something only I can do.

Because everyone is waiting for Precure to save them.

"So I have to come."

"Ye... Miss Yell?"

Emiru, highly sensitive to voices, heard the emotionless tone and called out her name uncertainly.

Facing the giant hand descending from the sky to crush them into paste, Ash's mind moved. The time unit built into the Time Fire suit activated, and the surrounding world instantly became as if frozen.

In this world where even time was slowed, Ash's movements left behind a trail of burning crimson afterimages. He carried Homare on one arm, then looked back at the series of pink afterimages that had brushed past him.

It wasn't that he was surprised by her appearance, but what had this guy done?

Why was the usual energetic emotion that persisted through any desperate situation gone? All he could feel was cold will?

Is this guy in a bad mood?

"Waaah—"

Before she could even scream in fear, Homare found herself in the sky. The sun, without a speck of dust, reminded her of her leap on the ice rink that day, under the gaze of everyone.

Did I... jump? No, I was carried, hoisted up!

"Wait—Waaah!" Homare, carried on Ash's shoulder, was lifted up along the Doomsday Monster's arm. Ash used the monster's arm movement to his advantage, leaping backward and landing on the rooftop of a building behind them like a gymnast.

"Put—Put me down—Ugh!" This guy is carrying me like a sack of rice!

"Don't throw up on me."

Putting Homare down on the ground, Ash turned and looked in the direction of the Enders.

"It's over—"

Continuing her shouts, this "Raging Ender," completely different from the Enders that had appeared before, was still mutating. Its form was actually starting to resemble a nurse, and a syringe-like weapon had materialized on its hand.

"This guy has evolved as an enemy too… Hmm."

Should I use the power of V-REX here? No, I'll hold off for a bit longer.

"Hoo…"

Following the gaze from behind him, Ash's eyes fell on her slender, elegant leg.

"Everything's fine now, see? My initial assessment was correct, wasn't it?"

"You!"

"What, want to speak ill of your savior?" Ash attacked without hesitation, cutting her off. "You should at least say thank you to me now, shouldn't you?"

"Tha—" She finally managed to say it, mustering her courage. "Thank you—Huh?"

By the time she bravely looked up, the red warrior had already disappeared from the rooftop.

"Hey—"

Ash landed in a superhero pose and saw Cure Yell with her back to him. His somewhat gloomy mood finally lifted, and he greeted her as usual.

"Hey, have you seen anyone with hair the same color as yours… Ah, never mind. What's wrong? You're in a bad mood?"

"……"

Cure Yell simply looked up at the Enders slowly approaching them, standing rooted to the spot like a wooden post, showing no intention of answering him.

"What, no reaction? Are you going for a cool and aloof vibe today? Or should I tell you a joke to wake up that sleeping woman?"

"……"

"You're really boring today—So, what about this new monster?" Standing shoulder to shoulder with her, Ash continued to talk to himself. "It doesn't look like the usual weaklings. How about you defend and I attack—Hey?!"

Before Ash could even finish speaking, he saw Cure Yell leap into the air with wide eyes, her fist burning with a large amount of Tomorrow Energy, and smash it towards the descending ocular weapon!

What's going on with this woman today? Did she take the wrong medicine?!

"Boom—"

The air exploded like a cloudburst. Nonohana swung her trembling right hand counter-clockwise behind her, but the Enders also let out a scream and fell backward, crashing into the already collapsed building behind them.

"Drip, drip…"

Bright red blood dripped onto the ground from her trembling fist. The Tomorrow Energy forcibly repaired the cracks on the back of her hand, and the pain of tearing and reassembling shot through her nerves. However, Nonohana's face was blank and gloomy, showing no sign of concern.

The wound Ash had healed on her showed signs of cracking open again. Normally, she would be careful during battle, but now she didn't care.

She didn't listen to what Time Fire was saying at all. Since he was just another guy obsessed with Cure Yell, even wanting her to always be Cure Yell, she hated him, even loathed him!

At this moment, Nonohana's eyes were only on this giant monster. She had almost forgotten her mission, only feeling the righteous indignation in her chest, and…

Wasn't there something right in front of her to vent on?

Then she would smash it down.

[Extra]Case File 58 Out of Control

"Hey, you're bleeding."

"It's over—"

Completely ignoring Ash's voice, Cure Yell continued to charge at the Enders with a low, dark expression, knocking it down again with a single blow, as if the so-called darkness and 강화 were nothing but a joke in front of her.

I am Precure.

My mission is to defeat evil darkness, and nothing else!

"Boom—"

Yell almost completely abandoned her defense, leaving only a blood trail on her back. She narrowly dodged the incoming syringe and rained punches down on the Raging Ender.

The Enders crashed heavily into the building, which was on the verge of complete collapse, and the splashing debris startled the surrounding crowd into screams.

Ash felt something was wrong. In past battles, Precure had never fought so recklessly, ignoring others!

This girl—something was wrong with her.

Completely different from before, it was as if she had been replaced by someone else!

Ash thought this. The Pretty Cure in front of him now gave him a completely different feeling from his previous impression. If the radiance Ash saw in the previous Yell was the strength to persevere through any desperate situation, with eyes always shining with burgeoning justice and kindness.

Then the feeling Yell gave Ash now was only the silent burning word "danger."

This oppressive feeling was—

In this world, this was the first time he had experienced the tension of facing a strong enemy, as if he could be killed at any moment. Under the helmet where data streams flickered, Ash's heavy and cautious breathing grew slower and slower…

The hairs on his back stood on end, and his right hand had unconsciously gripped the handle of the Vulcan Gun. If Yell made the slightest move, Ash would not hesitate to draw his gun and shoot this woman.

"Do you have something on your mind? Should I guess? Could it be that your boyfriend dumped you?"

Ash casually brought up some teasing topics, intending to distract her and help her relax. However, what he didn't see was that the moment he finished speaking, her blood-stained fist clenched tighter.

"Ha, I can't read minds, so I don't know what you're thinking. But I advise you not to bring emotional baggage into a fight. It's troublesome."

Hana lowered her head as if she were truly being lectured by Ash. If one ignored her increasingly clenched fist, it would indeed seem that way.

"You heroes, whether from this world or any other, always think about random things at the wrong times, and can't even see what's right in front of you. I've never liked your naive nature—"

The Melody Holy Sword sliced across the ground, creating a piercing sound and sparks. Then, with immense force, it was swung down, creating a whistling sound as it cut through the air. In the blink of an eye, Yell had leaped above Time Fire. The Melody Holy Sword, tracing a rainbow-colored arc, was brought down towards Time Fire's head.

"DV Conversion, Guardian Sword."

"Clang!!" Giving the command at top speed, the Guardian Sword, with its slender blade compared to the Melody Holy Sword, withstood Yell's almost full-power strike. However, even the Guardian Sword, a crystallization of future world technology, couldn't completely resist this power.

Merely holding its ground against the Melody Holy Sword for a moment, the luminous blade of the Guardian Sword began to emit sounds of being overloaded. Ash's arm, braced with all his might, also made creaking noises as his bones strained under the immense pressure. The already unstable ground had long been shattered by the shockwaves of their clash.

Time Fire pushed off the ground with both feet, dodging to the side and backward, breaking free from the Melody Holy Sword's suppression. The spot where he had stood was shattered by Yell's sword, its force undiminished. The already severely damaged press conference venue could now be declared completely ruined, ensuring that city officials would be sleeping with headaches for at least the next half month.

"Hey, are you crazy, Yell? The Doomsday Monster is behind you, not me!" Stabilizing himself, his body and combat suit, strained from the confrontation, served as a warning. Yell, who was now burning fiercely, was in a terrifying state.

Was she enraged by my words? But the real enemy is right here. Why would she suddenly turn her attention elsewhere? This isn't like her at all! Something's wrong!

"Can you even call yourself a hero like this? Or perhaps I was mistaken about you?"

"If your head isn't working properly, just hand over the job to me and go home. This isn't how you should be."

This isn't how I should be...

"Hehehe, hahahaha~"
