The Seventh Four Women Fighting · Part Two
Dark Pretty Cure had her sights set on Wuki from the beginning. Naturally, their old opponents, Kamen Rider Timmons, took on the other two.
“Ah, to be honest, there’s really no need to be so tense.” Unlike the tense girl who tightly clenched her fists as if ready to punch herself at any moment, Ash approached with a rather relaxed step. “Just treat this as an end-of-month test.”
“As a student, I hate exams the most!” Erika, who couldn’t stand the thought of getting angry, angrily swung her little fists. “Don’t talk to us like that! You’re not our teacher!”
“That’s true… but I do share something in common with your teacher.”
In front of the girls, Ash pulled out two stamps from his belt and pressed them together.
“If you don’t make me satisfied with your performance, I’ll be very angry.”
“Scorpion! Anomalocaris!”
“Add! Dominateup! Scorpion! Anomalocaris! Condor! Genomix!”
As steel dark wings spread, a scorpion tail extended from his tailbone, revealing yet another new form never seen by the girls. Both of Ash’s hands transformed into dark biomechanical blades, covered with wriggling claws and sharp blades like living organisms.
“Eee—!” For Erika, who disliked the different art style compared to the Desert Apostle, all she could do was unleash her dissatisfaction. “Why is it always such disgusting enhancements? Couldn’t they be cuter?!”
Hearing her friend’s words, Lei nodded in agreement.
“Ah, geez.” Accompanied by light speech, Ash’s Anomalocaris hooks scratched the helmet, producing a grating sound. “That just makes you a kid.”
If that SIC style is so cool, it’s a shame women who can’t appreciate a man’s romance are so annoying.
“Who are you calling a—ah! You terrible adult!” Realizing there might be some truth in what he said, Erika stamped her feet in anger.
“Come on, let me play with you again.”
“You’re calling this play?! Alright!”
With rage boiling over, they lifted their palms and fists together, a unified goal echoing loudly from their hands.
“For what you’ve done to those people.”
“We will definitely defeat you!”
While the fighting began on one side, the intense confrontation on the other had already reached its peak.
“Haah—!”
“Eeeyaaaa—!”
Fist-to-fist, leg-to-leg, one was a martial artist who, even after ten years, had recently pushed past her limits, while the other was a humanoid weapon built with unimaginable advanced technology, specifically designed for Pretty Cure. Their battle was likely a dead heat—
No! Actually, it wasn’t, as Dark Pretty Cure, who had defeated CureMoonlight and nearly taken her life, was far superior in speed and strength compared to today’s rookie CureSunshine. Even with Miki’s knowledge of the Myōdōin Flow techniques, she might not be able to overcome the opponent’s innate combat instincts, nor close the gap to overpower her.
“But how could I lose!”
Dark Pretty Cure gracefully dodged Miki’s assault, leaping upward, only for Miki’s roundhouse kick to hit nothing but air as the figure before her seemed to dissolve like a shadow, leaving her feeling that her speed and action lagged behind the opponent’s afterimage!
“Hmph!” The attack landing on her abdomen forced Miki’s body to bend like a shrimp, with severe pain from within and a powerful blow from the opponent slamming her onto the ground, causing the side of her face to collide painfully. Her saliva spewed from the corner of her mouth in pain.
“Sunshine—!”
“Don’t come closer!”
Lei and Erika tried to assist but were stopped by Miki. This was her fight, especially since facing the now dangerous Dark Pretty Cure, helping would only result in serious injury for both Lei and Erika.
“Really, when I’m fighting, you even dare to daydream? Now your opponent is me,” Ash wasn’t to be trifled with. Taking advantage of their distraction, he launched numerous steel feathers from his opened wings behind them, bombarding the area they stood in.
The girls gritted their teeth and charged out of the explosion’s radius, but their attacks aimed at Ash missed. As they were puzzled, a figure emerged from the smoke behind them, and with high-speed rotation, Ash swung the Anomalocaris blades, hitting the exposed backs of the two girls.
Hmm, three layers of Timmons seem quite effective. With me like this, I can fight for another ten years!
“Aaah!” The intense pain on her back caused her to lose control and scream as she fell towards the ground.
On the other side, Miki didn’t fare well either; as she tried to rise, Dark Pretty Cure stepped on her neck, pressing down harshly between the gaps of her shoe sole and high heel.
“Hmm….” Pain showed on Miki’s face, and the more she saw her expression, the greater it satisfied Dark Pretty Cure’s vague sense of disgust.
“You think you’ve become stronger, but you’re still just a girl.” She continued to grind Miki’s delicate neck from side to side with the sole of her foot. “What a waste! Even if he thinks you can, you still disappoint him. You won’t be a match against me, Darkpretty cure!”
After defeating CureMoonlight, I am the strongest Pretty Cure!
“What’s with this arrogant attitude—” With renewed energy upon hearing the words, Miki roared as golden flames exploded around her, repelling Dark Pretty Cure.
“You keep talking about how good you are with Timmons. It’s like you’re friends,” Miki rolled backward and got up from the ground, half-kneeling. Pointing straight at Dark Pretty Cure, she stated, “Compared to you, I’m the one he chose!”
He seeks someone who rises like a sun after countless trials. It was he who said so.
“You act like you know him well, but you don’t understand him! He expects my light, not your dark, shadowy self!”
“You——say——what——”
Dark Pretty Cure, enraged.
