Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Grandma once said that children are the treasures of this world." A rhinoceros beetle knight, pointing one finger to the sky, swerved past the monster beside him, elbowing it off balance. "And anyone who harms these treasures is unforgivable."

"Protecting such treasures is a man's responsibility!" He thrust his javelin, firmly catching the monster that Kabuto had elbowed, and thrusting it through with a powerful thrust. "So, until we're all down, there's no need to put these girls in danger!"

However, seeing that they are just as nosy as I am, it seems impossible to stay away from them.

"Captain, your statement is a bit too chauvinistic."

"Hey, is there any?"

"Female warriors have never been a problem for the Super Sentai, right? It's better to say that for the Knights..."

"No, the number of women becoming knights... does seem to be quite low."

Bickering back and forth wouldn't solve the problem of being overwhelmed by the ever-increasing number of strange creatures. At this critical moment, a strange yet familiar sound and feeling suddenly echoed in the ears of both the enemy and the enemy.

"this is?"

It was like the roar of an engine and the hum of a windmill. If I had to put it bluntly, it was like—

“Taku——!!”

The shadow of fire, transformed into a gust of wind, sped past the Knights and Rangers, capturing the attention of everyone present. And the Kamen Rider, riding the Tornado motorcycle, careening through the enemy hordes, his scarf fluttering behind him, was recognizable even through the mask!

"Ash, weren't you with the Pretty Cure girls? Why are you back?!"

"why?"

With a luxurious tailspin, he knocked over a hapless alien knight, and with one foot on the ground, Ash braked past them in a very "Akira" way.

"Because I hear your voices begging for my return!"

------

"Switch on—that's what they say, right?"

When the big red button is pressed, and the mechanical engine is ignited with a heartbeat-like starting sound, the underground research laboratory that has been abandoned and covered in dust for a long time is now once again lit up with the light of technology.

"Ahem—how long has it been since anyone has taken care of this place?" The man impatiently covered his mouth and nose, brushed off the dust on a random table, and sat down casually. "Tell me, you silly raccoon cat, why did you call us here?"

"Mr. Yang Ma, please sit down and talk with the person at the table next to you."

Anyone familiar with special effects would be stunned by this combination. The blue delinquent king, Yangma, the smoothing-over by Goshikida Isao, a genius physicist with a keen interest in the dusty facilities, a certain card filled with random writing... and finally, the Blue Ultraman, maintaining his human-sized form among the crowd.

Almost all the famous scientists in the three special effects industries are now gathered in this research room which is neither big nor small.

"Yeah~ If you can't satisfy God—you know the consequences, right?"

"Yes, and on the other side! Although the sudden disappearance of one of the enemy leaders has tilted the situation, we can't wait!" Accidentally picked up a full, jet-black rabbit bottle from the table next to him and flipped it over. At the bottom, a Kiryuu Battle Rabbit, signed by Ash, seemed to want to laugh, but couldn't. "No one knows when the blockade that Histim mentioned will be completed. If they wait until they're done, even if we defeat him in the end—it would be our failure!"

"Everyone!"

Walking at the front, Ash raised his hand and transformed into a Dark Angel in the blink of an eye. Looking at the scientists he had specially selected to gather here, he no longer smiled but instead pointed at his temple like a "someone" (someone).

"I know you all want to return to the battlefield and help your friends..." Seeing someone suddenly express dissent, Yaxiu changed her tone. "Well, at least most of you would think so. But—even though I'm the opposite of Yaxiu and know nothing about science and technology, I do understand one thing!"

“A scientist’s strongest point is never his fists, but his brain!”

"Heh...you're quite good at this little girl."

Hearing her say this, some of the people who had been acting rather carelessly couldn't help but look at her seriously. "So, in light of the lavish hospitality you gave us last night, where could you possibly use our wisdom?"

"Ms. Ash." Ultraman Hikari, who had remained silent the entire time, now approached. "What exactly is this possibility you're talking about, the possibility of changing the outcome of this war?"

And this is the biggest reason why they would accept Yashu's invitation.

"I've already asked the Pretty Cure girls to complete a portion of it." While explaining this, Ash reached for the shoulder bag that came with her transformed Pretty Cure. "As for the other part, I hope everyone can do it!"

please!

In front of everyone, Yaxiu took out from his pocket... an ordinary heart-shaped flashlight with a light bead on the top that flickered faintly.

"If everyone can do this, can we make one that everyone can use?"

Of course, this is just a small flashlight that doesn't contain any special materials and is so simple that it has no power at all. I have experienced this myself.

But...after seeing them and Ash's appearance, I still want to believe it!

“To be able to do this.”

"Can anyone pray for a ticket to a miracle?"

Chapter 282: A Small Shock Brought by Ash and Guangmei (4K Chapter)

Ash, who announced his return in a high-profile manner, attracted the attention of everyone present, both friend and foe, as soon as he appeared on the stage, and the neat row of people staring at him was exactly what Ash wanted!

Please don't get me wrong, this sudden high-profile behavior is not a whim for Ash... In fact, he has always done this during the previous suit wars!

"Because I hear your voices begging and pleading for my return!"

With a standard knight leap, he flipped over the handlebars and flew down, kicking the two Gurongi beneath him as footholds. He landed with a perfect 10-point stance, paying no attention to the strange looks from the surroundings. "So I'm back when you need me most, just like always!"

This guy really dares to say that! This is the first opinion of most people.

Finally willing to come back? This is also the second opinion of most people.

"You brat!" someone cursed, laughing as they knocked the freak who'd attempted a sneak attack from behind down with a backhand punch, then approached with their smile still undimmed. "Just like before, be careful not to get too cocky!"

"I still like to play these fancy games." Others shook their heads without surprise, and continued to focus on fighting the enemy in front of them, but the occasional glance revealed their true thoughts.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Some even went berserk, looking even more agitated than when facing an enemy. If their friends hadn't quickly stopped them, they'd have rushed forward to settle old scores with Ash. "And—give me back the treasure you stole from me!"

"for you."

"what?"

When Ash received the object, the person who had screamed was momentarily taken aback... No, this habitual criminal, like a certain cross-border thief, actually returned the item? So sensible?

Now they immediately lost their temper, as if they saw that their younger brother who had run away from home in a fit of anger had finally returned to report the good news after completing his studies. Although most of the people still spoke harshly, they came closer to him with joy in their hearts.

"Roar--"

However, as mentioned before, it’s not only Ash’s friends who notice him, but his enemies as well!

"That's him! This is the man the boss is talking about—"

When they confirmed that the overly ostentatious Kamen Rider in front of them was Ash, the greedy eyes of the gnats, the covetous Death Leaders, and various alien bounty hunters were instantly locked on him.

"Ash, I thought you'd tucked your tail between your legs and hid under those women's skirts, but I didn't expect you to actually come here—!"

There were even more pairs of eyes that, after confirming Ash's identity, instantly became filled with momentum and hatred.

If it is said that due to Ash's past "inconsistent" behavior, most of his old friends who have transformed heroes have some "old accounts" to settle with him.

So this group of people... or should I say, this group of weirdos, really want to settle all the "new and old grudges" against Ash together.

Especially considering that this guy loves to backstab others in the villain organization, shouts like "Ash, give me back my empire!", "Ash, give me back my base!", "Ash, give me back my belt!" are actually endless.

There was even someone who traveled from the future to the past and was taken advantage of by Ash... ahem, I won't go into details about his glorious past achievements.

"Hurry up—hurry up and catch him back!"

There is a "person" who, probably for some purpose originating from "Histim", has completely set his sights on Ash.

"This little bastard must never be forgiven!"

Some "people" simply want to settle personal vendettas and public outrage at the same time.

...It is hard to imagine what method New Hundred Worlds used to make these "people" stay in the same trench and fight side by side. In any case, Ash couldn't figure it out.

"Although I have a joke idea that I've been thinking of for a long time, it seems that now is not the time to speak..." Just as the evil minions began to gather towards this battlefield, someone had already blocked this way. "Ash, let's go!"

"[zero two jump!]"

"Now it's our turn to protect you! Great, I'm fired up!!"

"[The Absolute!]"

When the final bursts of light and sound resounded before him, it proved that these people were ready to show their true abilities for this moment. Whether out of a grasp of the key to this war or as friends, they couldn't just stand by and watch!

"We can't let them succeed!"

"Go, we'll cover you!"

But in such a passionate atmosphere, Ash was the one who took the initiative to step on the brakes. After patting the shoulders of his two friends who were waiting in a state of alert, he actually stepped aside and walked in front of these eager monsters amidst everyone's bewildered gazes.

"Have you ever seen me running away from a burning battlefield like this? Besides, let's get this straight."

"It was never them targeting me."

The moment the man's sneer escaped from beneath his knight mask, the surrounding Zerg, as if feeling some kind of pressure, instantly entered a state of hyperdrive. All before him was a fleeting glimpse, impossible to grasp with the naked eye, and in his ears was the shrieking sound of high-speed swarms. Not far away, even more enemies surrounded him! Surrounded by a formation impossible to break with ordinary means, Ash simply...clenched his right fist, clasped within its jet-black gauntlet, and raised it high.

"Go ahead! Even if he has gained some powerful strength, he may not be able to kill us all before his strength runs out!"

Especially since this guy looks like he's gathering strength. If not now, when?!

"Kill!"

"Ash!"

With weapons in hand and claws raised, he rushed towards Ash in a symphony of killing mixed with roars and metal scraping sounds, accompanied by the exclamations of everyone.

However, all the attacks, like a massive yet inexplicably weak killing intent, slid smoothly across the armor's surface. Ash, however, simply clenched his fists even harder amidst the clamor!

Then, a force so simple that it could only be called powerful began to increase rapidly and dramatically!

"But I'm targeting them!"

I'm sorry, but the truth is you can't even expend your energy.

The extreme pressure of the fist distorted the light. When this critical point-breaking fist of judgment was about to fall, the vacuum created by the fist wind alone sucked the debris in the surrounding area into a vortex.

"!!!"

As he stared at Ash, the terrifying calculations generated by the "zero two" dimensional quantum leap device in that 0.01 second made Hiden's eyes widen beneath his mask. He retreated at top speed, shouting to the others ahead. "The power of Ash's attack—no! Retreat! Get everyone off the ground!"

"Oh my!"

Igazaki Tenharu, who had transformed into the "Super Red Ninja" next to him, didn't think as much as he did. However, with his instinctive vigilance as a warrior, he grabbed the rest of the people around him and flew high into the sky in the lion's flames.

As if waiting for their reaction, when everyone's toes left the ground, Ash's fist sank into the ground.

Then—the shockwave centered on that punch spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye, toward the surrounding darkness.

Be it invaders from alien planets, monsters from ancient times, or demons from another world, they were all shaken—maintaining their last moment of terrified and hideous expressions, they were transformed into simple elementary particle units in the spreading impact.

There were no shocking special effects that required a lot of money to complete. Ash simply used a punch to give the battlefield that was about to be surrounded the effect of a desktop cleaning master.

But this did not prevent the others from feeling genuinely shocked when they saw all this after landing.

"What a powerful punch! He took out all the enemies with just one punch!"

Those who don’t understand the ins and outs of it are only surprised by the amazing result, while those who can understand it are so amazed by the process behind the result that they can’t stop jawing.

“It’s amazing…”

As one of the top-tier technological knights, the part of 02's visor that calculated the force output had already displayed only error messages after that punch. "It was the intense gravity that shattered the enemy into elementary particles... You actually managed that with just your fists?"

When did he secretly make progress and gain such powerful strength?

"For Kamen Rider Ash, these are nothing." He added, hands on his hips, pleased with the surprised looks behind him. "Don't be so surprised, because you guys also contributed to this punch."

After all, it was a miracle created by gathering all the power in the life of Ash so far.

"our?"

No one could understand Ash's incoherent explanation, but that didn't stop them from secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

After all, Ash does have his limits, but sometimes he can be a little too crazy. They're worried that after gaining such powerful power, Ash will suddenly go crazy again, afraid that he'll cause trouble again. Seeing him use his power so well and still not change is really wonderful.

So, maybe we should thank those little girls from Pretty Cure?

But speaking of them, there were also a few "angry" people with clear goals who came up to them.

"You're finally back... I thought you were already drowning in the gentle embrace of Pretty Cure and didn't want to come back to us."

We used to be honorary members of the Single Hero Club together, but I didn't expect you to graduate without a word, and in such an enviable... and despicable way!

"That's not out of the question." After dodging someone's slapping gesture, Ash raised his thumb in the direction he came from. "But there's no need, since we came here together."

"Is it okay? Their companions are obviously——"

"No, my Pretty Cure is the strongest Pretty Cure!"

Following the passage of light that Ash had torn open from his dimensional distortion, everyone saw many colorful Pretty Cures as he had described. However, these Pretty Cures were very different from the ones that had left before.

Stepping on the whining Ferris wheel in the abandoned amusement park, the Bud Angel unleashed a storm of cherry blossoms to block the corrosive slime spewed by the Octopus Monster. Meanwhile, the Happy Angel, along with her companions, soared into the air on a Pegasus. "Happy Shower!" a rainbow beam pierced the dark clouds, purifying the shadowy path beneath their feet into light amidst a burst of joyful smiles.
