Kamen Rider Is Playing the Villain in Pretty Cure

"Dad..."

Yet the voice of a lonely girl rang out.

"Don't leave me behind. It's so dark here..."

"Pretty Cure, I, Kamen Rider, have come to save you!"

Those were supposed to be the lines, right? After suddenly getting separated from everyone in an unfamiliar place, with the outside world looking like a ruined post-nuclear wasteland, they should have been panicked and terrified! Then, with an enemy hunting them down on top of that, wouldn't it have been cool for me, Ash, to descend from the sky and lend them a hand when they were exhausted in body and mind? At most, people might complain about me showing up at the last possible moment.

But what was with the two flashing red and blue lights in front of me, constantly clanging against the person opposite them?

"Ancient—"

The dragon-man armor that housed ancient resentment was now covered in dents and looked utterly battered. Its arm went numb as it barely blocked Heart Angel's powerful high kick with its great shield, and the armored figure hurriedly retreated, preparing to turn the tide with a finishing move.

"Rikka!"

But there were two opponents, and they had been waiting for that move!

"Diamond Swirkle!"

Light swept out from her Crystal Mirror, creating a pool beneath her opponent's feet. With a step forward, she transformed it into an incredibly smooth diamond surface, and then Rikka mercilessly kicked him from behind.

"You're only this good!"

"!"

The armored figure spun as he flew away, unable even to hold onto the shield in his hand. At that moment, the two Precure clasped hands and leaped into the air, their glowing feet striking out in a pose Ash found all too familiar.

"Compared to the Ash from back then, you're still far behind!"

"Pretty Cure Double Kick!"
