Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Passing through the huge fantasy driving book unfolded in front of him, several miracle incarnations soared in the sky with him, followed by a roundabout maneuver in the air and then slammed towards Piero below like a comet falling to the earth!

"I'm Ash!"

The reason why I pursue darkness and collect the dark echoes representing resentment and negativity between countless worlds is all because I long for heroes and want the stories of heroes to continue!

Yes! I'm back now, I remember everything!

“It’s for readers who like heroic stories!”

An emerald green hurricane kicked into its belly from below, causing it to break through the clouds and fly into the sky. The cute yellow lightning swung down a scissor hand, causing it to tremble uncontrollably due to lightning and thunder outside the universe. The blue ice arrow shot from afar pierced its chest, freezing its entire body. Then, a red-orange fireball fell from the sky like the sun falling to the ground, illuminating the entire world with it.

Ash, carrying Miyuki on his back, held Miyuki's hand from behind to his chest. After they landed on the ground together, they saw that in the deep pit on the ground, countless tiny fragments of Piero were reconstructed after being aggregated, and began to emit a greater and greater aura of despair.

"Let all the tragic energy transform into despair that devours the world!"

When Piero desperately tried his best and gathered all the tragic energy of all mankind, no, almost the entire universe, everyone looked up at the sky outside the earth. There was an energy black hole as big as a planet. In the deep core composed entirely of tragic energy, which even attracted light, one could vaguely see fluctuations like Piero's face.

If no one agrees that a tragic ending exists, then I will destroy the story itself!

Before the joy of defeating the powerful enemy arrived, Lihua and others outside were greeted by a black hole above their heads. Looking at the power of despair, they felt powerless and speechless for a moment.

At this moment, a white light from afar blasted into the sky. Although it only stopped for a short moment before being attracted by the black hole, it also brought them back to their senses.

"Akane, Nao, Yayoi." Reika, holding the Water Sword in her left hand and the Princess Candle in her right, called out everyone's names one by one. "Now, let's do our best."

"You're wrong, Lihua." He patted his friend's shoulder, the fear of despair gone from his straight face. "We have to succeed! After all, Miyuki, Ash, and everyone else are still waiting for us."

"Yes!" Qian approached, pressed her weapons together, and released a single flame from the tips. "There are still many things we want to try and do! Like... falling in love?"

"In that case, I know a great place!" Yayoi suggested, bouncing around. "After we defeat the enemy, let's all go celebrate together!"

"It's so rare to have a good idea!"

"Then it's settled, Yayoi~!"

The joyful atmosphere dispelled the despair of the ending. The girls gathered all their determination and strength. As the gradually brighter light merged and sublimated them, a pink figure with wings on its back also walked towards them from behind.

"Pegasus, now find your freedom. Run towards the endless future and carve out our own world, our own future!"

The flying five-colored Pegasus merged into one and turned into the fire phoenix, which symbolizes absolute hope in the legend of the fairy tale kingdom. After the fire phoenix let out a loud cry facing the future, it soared forward towards the black hole of absolute darkness outside the universe!

"Precure Miracle Rainbow Burst—!"

------

"How could it be that even they have overcome despair?!"

“So I said it.”

The fire phoenix above their heads and the rainbow light waves wrapped around it forcibly eliminated the black hole and began to revive the entire world. At the same time, Ash and Miyuki flapped their wings together to push Piero's and push it out.

"It's not you who decides the ending of the story, but us!"

"As long as our bond remains together, our hope will never die."

The goddess on Ash's back raised her hands, and one shining baptism of joy after another hit Piero's face, causing the tragic energy composed of him to be continuously liberated from the resentment and dissipated!

"As long as we are still here, no matter how difficult the future may be, we can move forward with a smile on our faces."

You mean friends? I obviously don't have any friends...

"Shut up! The end of the world is clearly predetermined!"

Piero, extremely angry, punched the knight in front of him and finally knocked the enemy who had always suppressed him to the ground.

"Ash—!"

Miyuki behind him called out with emotion for the first time, but there was no reason for her to worry more, so Ash shook his head and lowered his left hand from covering his face.

The shattered pieces of the eyepiece were in his palm, and through the cracked mask of the helmet, he could see the dark eyes full of determination behind it.

"[The fatal blow is broken]!"

The burning broken sword was sheathed again.

"Aimlessly pursuing only darkness, a nonexistent mind has forgotten the true meaning of the opposite of light." Ash concentrated on gripping the broken sword, his body poised to deliver the final blow at any moment. "With such a profound sense of déjà vu, I must slay him... no, I must defeat him."

"So Miyuki, show me the future!"

The existence of a hero is one in which even if the distance between the past and the present is still approaching infinity, even if the performance you want to make is just a poor imitation of the "real thing", as long as it is the path that "he (she)" has walked, no matter where you are, you can catch up with it with all your strength.

If you ask why, it's because their overly noble postures and visions in battle have transcended the erased memories and become a reaction engraved in this body.

I don’t know why, but I feel like I can do it now.

"Ah."

The girl replied softly.

I will assist you.

"Stretch your hands forward a little further."

Miyuki closed her eyes but still maintained that gentle smile. She held Ash's arm with her own hands and guided him step by step towards the direction of the grudge that had to be cut off.

"The real Piero is further down."

"I see."

The sword in the movement looked like it was imitating someone, yet it was not similar to anyone.

Simply imitating is not enough! What you really need to do is to combine everything you have and all the miscellaneous skills you have mastered to create something that can be presented to you.

"—"

Piero's final counterattack at this time was very scary. After discovering that the last means of self-destruction had completely failed, it concentrated all its remaining strength and rushed straight to where Ash and Miyuki were, regardless of the darkness that would affect it. However, facing the two people in front of him who were like evil spirits, his heart was extremely calm for a moment.

Sniffing the pleasant smell behind him, even the restless dark echoes in his body miraculously fell into tranquility, and the moves in his hands felt even purer.

Whose passionate protection is the blazing and unbridled fighting spirit?

Whose decisiveness and cheerfulness gallop across the earth at such a rapid speed?

Whose beautiful and strong heart is not afraid of thunder?

Whose graceful and gorgeous expression depicts the meaning of cold bones?

And, more important than anything else, the sincere smile of a girl who trusted him——appeared before his eyes.

Yes, and I have a promise with her that I can’t forget.

"With a heart of compassion, I cut off the space of evil. Its name is—!"

The flying five-colored light ball came into contact with and merged into the holy sword, and along with the man's dancing movements, it condensed into one point, reaching the pinnacle!

"[Miracle all swords drawn——!]"

Holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, he poured all his energy and will into the sword. He suddenly raised his whole body and slashed the sword towards the resentment below.

"[Miracle Killing Slash!]"

A rainbow of light burst forth from the sword, followed by a decisive sword that could melt everything in the world. The decisive sword roared and instantly transformed into a massive sword light.

Faced with such a fatal sword, Piero, who knew it was unstoppable, stood still without dodging, looking at Ash coming from above, and simply responded with all the power of darkness.

Until the bright future finally drowns out the dark despair.

"[Grand Finale!]"

Chapter 208: Still Not Enough Smiles (Volume 3 Finale)

Facing the final Sky-piercing Sword, Piero, the Dark Emperor, gathered all his strength to meet it without dodging or evading, until the dark future was pierced by the road of light, and he himself was cut in half by the two dark swords facing the light.

Above their heads, in the world, the influence of the dark forces is fading. The world that was devastated by natural disasters and turned into a purgatory on earth is returning to its original beautiful appearance as if time has gone back under the miraculous power of the girls.

Similarly, the story [Where the Dragon Was] written by the girls for Ash, this new story born from despair and full of the warriors' wishes and miracles, is also, as Ash said, proof of the changed ending.

"I...what's wrong with me?"

As the first confused person stood up from the tragic energy, the second, the third, and more and more people followed the glimmer of light that appeared before their eyes. As their souls and bodies melted together, they stood up from the ocean of the abyss and returned to the world.

"Pierro," the knight asked, his back to the enemy, as the goddess behind him had ascended to heaven. "As a villain who fought to the bitter end, can you tell me what you think?"

Ash didn't hate it, at least it was already very impressive what it could achieve now.

"Really? I lost."

As he watched the darkness gradually fade away from this body, Piero's face showed no resentment or hatred after the defeat, but instead a faint sense of relief.

As a being that represents negative emotions, it is natural that he wants to lead the world to destruction. As the Tragedy Emperor, he also wants the best possible tragic ending.

"I have no complaints about losing to you."

"No, you didn't lose to me." Ash turned around and smiled at Piero. "It was us."

"Us...?"

Piero, whose existence began to dissipate, looked up and saw the four angels looking at the saved world slowly descending with joy. But in front of him, in the center of the indescribable darkness that swallowed up all light, he could clearly see the only remaining shadow of humanity.

Moreover, the smiles on the shadow and the angel's faces were identical.

"Is that so? I didn't lose to the greater darkness, but to the tiny light between you and them..."

Piero then imitated his smile and contentedly accepted his own tragic ending.

"Ash, finally, please be careful..."

Looking at the scene where the deep darkness turned into light and disappeared, Ash sighed with an inexplicable melancholy.

The enemy was defeated and the world was saved, but Miyuki, if this is the only outcome, then the promise cannot be fulfilled...

"Ahem...Ash?"

"Miyuki?!"

The sudden voice from behind made him almost unbelievable, until the system reminded him that it was correct. The ecstatic Ash rushed to the clear water pool in two steps and saw Miyuki crawling out of it, all wet.

"Hehe, seeing Ash's expression of pity for me, maybe Miyuki is lucky~"

Seeing Ash's panic in front of her, Miyuki had already thrown away the pious and sacred temperament of a pure goddess to Java. Now the expression on her face was the silly smile that Ash was most familiar with, so stupid that no one would get angry when seeing it.

"In order to allow Ash to fulfill his promise, Hoshizora Miyuki Teru has now arrived on time at the appointed time!"

".....Stupid woman!"

"Ah, that's too much! You're still calling me an idiot at this hour—" Just as Miyuki was enjoying the playful banter with Ash, the fierce general suddenly changed his expression and pushed Ash away. "Ash, danger!"

It felt like being hit head-on by a truck from another world. After Ash rolled over several times on the ground to regain his footing, he saw an extremely distorted evil existence in front of him, with various features that looked like a ghost.

"Jagu——!"

"AAAAA——!" The monster, whose name was called out, let out a distorted roar. The reason why Ash couldn't react was that this guy was standing in front of him and he couldn't feel any reaction of life. Instead, there was only a chaotic resentment and the reaction when Piero disappeared.

Judging from his current insane reaction, which is neither human nor ghost, he must be in some abnormal state both mentally and physically.

"You bitch again—" Jiagu grabbed the coughing Miyuki on the ground and lifted her into the air. His bloodshot eyes cast all his malice and murderous intent towards her. "You're standing in my way again!"

"Ahem!" Miyuki's face flushed with shortness of breath, but she didn't show any sign of being frightened. "Of course you are! You've been getting in the way of us and Ash!"

"Shut up!!!"

Gagu grabbed Miyuki and stood in front of Ash who was about to use his signature backstab technique, and his sharp claws cut the girl's slender neck.

"You took everything from me—I'm going to take what's yours!"

"You said you want to change? You want a happy ending?! I won't let her have such a thing, hahahaha - you're just dreaming if you think you can have a good ending, hahaha!"

With an extremely hideous smile, Gagu raised his thumb and pointed at Ash, then scratched his neck with heavy force.

"Now, either you die! Or she dies!"

"No!!!" Miyuki, who knew Ash's character well, also widened her eyes and continued to struggle, kicking behind her, and even biting the monster's arms with her teeth until they bled, but she still couldn't break free. "No, no, no, no! Ash! No!!!"

"Ash aa ...

Watching the man in front of her silently raise the broken sword once again, the girl let out a scream even more shrill than the one she had let out when she was defeated by Piero and sank into despair.

"Miyuki."

Ash's voice was full of calmness, and the power contained in this calmness actually calmed down Miyuki, who was crying and making a fuss.
