Author's Note
Yep. They're here. 
Here to destroy my loyalty for Pony.
Nah, I'm just kidding. They won't take me away that easily. Anyway, this story, as I've mentioned, was inspired by Season Five of the franchise, Heartcatch Precure.
Special thanks to my irl best friend for introducing me to the show, and helping me with the Descriptions of the Precure Characters! Also, I do not own the pictures of the Precure that you are about to see, which are stupidly featuring both front and back of the character since I cannot find a picture of them solo with just the front!
PREPARE FOR CRINGE!
A Wilting Heart Flower
**Video buzzing**
Hi. What’s up my little ponies, Nathan here.
Now I know this looks weird right now, I’m shooting this in like, 5 in the morning at the everfree forest. But this is because I have a pretty interesting announcement for y’all regarding the channel. No one- Not even my friends, know this as of right now.
So what am I doing out in the woods early in the morning, you might ask?
Okay, so a week ago, I asked Twilight if she could teach me to do that portal setting up spell on command. Surprisingly, I learned it pretty quickly, and now I’m here to test something. I’ve recently been attracted to a new show, and I’m curious to know if their world exists. What you’re seeing now is going to be me trying to get to this other world. Twilight says the spell is very consistent, and portals won’t get disconnected, so I will be completely fine.
If anyone of you are watching this via a private link I’ve hidden in my most recent video, do not tell my friends about it until I say it’s okay to do so because I have not told them about my encounter with this new world, and I have a plan in mind that may bring forth an amazing change to this channel. Now, this idea is-
*trees shuffling*
”Nathan?”
Uh oh. Okay, gotta go. Bye!
**video ends**
**A Few Months Later.**
"Another video is done!"
I say triumphantly as I turn off the camera for my monthly Question-and-Answer video. This time, I was partnered along with Twilight to read comments and answer questions from the fans of our YouTube channel. There were weird questions that I skipped over, we had a few laughs, and thankfully they did not ask anything about my private life this time because, well, when you're a famous star in the modern world, everyone wants to know what you're like behind the screen.
I've invited the ponies to join in my videos from time to time for quite some time now. Despite the conspiracy of my fans in the past on the existence of the pony world, definitive evidence has finally been revealed from someone else. People quickly picked up on it, and when it really started going crazy, I decided that I'll put them in the video anyway given by the fact everyone can confirm all this was real.
My friends were pretty nervous about being on camera. They don't have our culture of sharing videos to one another in their world. But, I gave them time to settle in, and digest the feeling, letting them get used to the sensation that someone from a whole other world will soon be looking at what they do on camera.
So this led to quite the number of questions for my friends. But, as long it was not too private, they were happy to clear up all of that.
Now that Celestia and Luna retired, my friends weren't as free to make videos with me as much. It got kind of lonely. I do have other friends to turn to, but it just wasn't really the same. Even if they find time to record, it was... different. Why? Come on, they are now in charge of ruling a freaking kingdom. I get a little tense when making videos with them by my side. It just doesn’t seem natural- Despite I’ve collaborated with even Celestia and Luna before. I start to acknowledge they’d want to keep their dignity on check, and for one, that’s why they aren’t in a lot of my videos anymore, and two, they don’t want to do anything stupid to ruin their reputation on camera.
Especially Twilight.
Twilight has always- Always, been my best friend. She’s almost like my partner, per se. We’ve always been so close and sometimes cheesy with each other. But with her new task, she’s busy on a lot of other things. We’ve talked over it, and I was okay with it- I let her concentrate on what matters to her most- Her home. I wouldn’t say we are getting drifted apart, no. Whenever I feel like it, I’ll come over to visit, and we can have some fun chatting. We’re still good friends and we still mess with each other a lot.
But I felt lonely without her.
I wanted to find someone else. Someone that I can hang out with just like when I did with Twi- Something new to bring back innovation to the channel and let me explore new friendships.
I was tidying away the recording equipment when Twilight calls to me.
“Nathan?”
“What’s up?”
“I know you said to not bother asking, but...”
She scratches the ground with her hoof.
“What are you doing with that spell I gave you?”
I shrug.
“It’s nothing.”
“You never ask me to teach you to perform spells,” Twilight winked. “You have something in mind, come on. I’ve taught you how to control magic after I found out the for some reason, you had magic, but not a lot of spells.”
“Really, it’s nothing, Twilight.”
She comes close and nudges me with her muzzle, then leaning and nuzzling against me. I crouch a little so she can nuzzle my cheek.
“It’s for a personal purpose, you said. Tell me...”
“Hahaha, very funny.”
I slowly leave the room, giving her a wink.
“I’m off to do something. See ya, buddy.”
*door closes*
“You are hiding something, Nate... Why wouldn’t you tell me?”
************
**trees wooshing**
I run like the wind across the forest, trying to get as far from any of my friends as possible. I do not want them to see what I’m doing.
I get back to the open area I first set that portal up in, and, of course, set up the portal. I hold my hands out and channel magic, repeating a quote to initiate the spell. After a couple of times, a pink portal opened to another world. Glitter surrounded the edge of the portal, inside showing somewhere else far from Equestria.
I take a deep breath and stepped in.
On the other side, someone was waiting for me.
“*chuckles* You were late.”
“Sorry! I was recording, Alright? Now, where are the others?”
“Botanical Garden. Come on, let’s go.”
****Back in Equestria.****
“*groans* I don’t understand!!”
Twilight lets out a huge sigh, thumping her head on her work desk.
“*sigh* What secret is he hiding...? He never does this... I don’t get it...”
**door opens**
“Princess Twilight?”
“Oh! Celestia!”
Now that Twilight has the throne, Celestia technically doesn’t need to be here. But, Twilight wanted her and Luna to stay to mentor her and help her when even a pony like her is in a pinch. She is inexperienced at ruling a kingdom, after all.
“Are you alright?” Celestia asks, putting a hoof under Twilight’s head.
She sighs. “I’m okay, Celestia. There’s just something I’ve been thinking about.”
Twilight’s ears droop down. Celestia extends a wing to comfort her.
“Come, we can take a walk around and you can tell me about your problems.”
**************
“Oh? You taught him a spell and he won’t tell you what for?”
Twilight nods.
“I just don’t understand. We are such good friends and there was no secret about each other we don’t know. In fact... Why is he hiding this secret, anyway? I always keep an open mind about what he says.”
“There is no law saying friends have to tell each other everything. You do realize that.”
“But Celestia, this isn’t a normal case.”
“Oh?”
“We are talking about the portal spell. It allows him to go to a whole other world... Just like how I met him. What if...”
Twilight gasps.
“What if he’s doing the same thing!?”
She bolts away, and Celestia couldn’t even react to her leaving.
“Twilight, wait!”
Normal POV.
Twilight teleports all the way back to Ponyville. She recalled seeing Nathan in the everfree forest doing something a few months ago, and since then, he seems to be always going there for whatever reason. She once asked him about it, and he always answered that it was to explore and get some fresh air.
But she knows- It wasn’t. And his cover was about to be blown.
She dashes into the forest to find him and see what he’s up to. She searches around for most likely half an hour until she finally finds what she’s looking for.
The portal.
“When the spell was triggered... Until the person closes it with a spell, it won’t close,” Twilight giggles to herself. “Nice try, Nate, you careless buddy. Now...”
To hide, she uses an invisibility spell.
“Let me see just what you are hiding, that you won’t tell me...”
In The Other World.
Normal POV.
Twilight enters into a world she's never seen before.
Well, she has, actually. It feels just like Nathan’s place- Human society. Nothing special. She was in a pretty peaceful and quiet neighborhood, and since she's invisible, she can have a little walk around to see what this world- That he has been escaping to for quite some time, really is.
Along the way, she notices something. The people she encounters spoke in a language she didn't understand. Judging by their accent, she assumed it to be Japanese, but she won't be so sure. She has dug into learning the different languages humans speak, though only to distinguish where she is located in the world if, say, something like this happens and she wants to investigate and ends up somewhere's she's never been.
The choice of clothing of some of the locals doesn't seem to lie, either. "Why would he come here?" Twilight thought.
As she continues down the path, using her magic to track Nathan down, she ends up stopping in front of a pristine structure. It seems to be some kind of greenhouse, albeit with the interesting exterior design. Most of the two-story building was half- transparent, considering the walls are pretty much all windows.
Then she hears some laughter and a familiar voice.
"Haha, aww, you little buddies are super cute!"
Twilight gasps. After making sure the invisible spell is working, she pressed her face to the glass to get a closer look.
**********
Nathan’s POV.
“I still can’t believe you girls are so charmed about me when I say I’m a fan.”
“Oh come on, it’s completely fine! We’ve met people from other worlds a number of times...”
I give a laugh. I was sitting at a round table, with four other teenage girls. We’re chatting about the little things of life and despite it’s been a few months since we’ve met, I still have things I know about them to reveal. With a few nifty spells Twilight had taught me, I learned how to understand my new friends, and to me, they’re speaking in English instead of Japanese, and I could speak in English, and they’ll magically understand me back as my words are translated the other way round.
Two of the girls were around 8th grade-ish. The one on my left was Tsubomi, a girl with Magenta hair tied into twin-tails with flower-shaped accessories. She’s donning a long pink shirt and blue shorts since it was summer. The one on my right, who was the one that just replied to me- She’s Erika. She wears a sky blue dress and deep blue leggings that reached past her knees. A little blue bow can be found in front of the heart, and the bow’s center was coincidentally a yellow heart, too. She had wavy navy blue hair and was the shortest (and youngest) one, barely reaching the shoulder of the tallest of the four.
Speaking of her, she’s Yuri- the eldest out of them all, at 17 and at around 11th grade. Her long purple locks reached all the way down to her waist, while part of her forelocks was held in place with an azure barrette. She wore a pink blouse under a light lavender jacket, with blue leggings and white shoes. The fourth girl- She’s Itsuki, and she was her school’s former Student Council President. Yes, this makes the fact she’s just an eighth grader a little surprising. She had short, light brown hair that reached halfway down her neck. She wore a yellow dress with orange edges and a printed ribbon. She also wore blue pants beneath it.
All of them look fantastic. When I showed up a few months ago, they were near and were absolutely shocked as they found me. I had to explain a lot of things, and my first encounter with them was very awkward. Nonetheless, Erika’s excitement to make a new friend caught on and, well, the rest is history. I didn’t want my friends back in ponydom knowing this, and I remember telling all the funny lies to cover my plan. We would all meet up and chat like we’re doing now. And despite I’m 24- Way older than Yuri, they seemed to have no objection to meeting a fan.
But I’m a special fan, I still remember saying that to them when they asked me why I like them so much once.
We chat, we giggle, making me feel like I’m a kid again. It feels... Oddly satisfying. Twilight and her friends did it once for me, and here I am again, experiencing the same feeling. Probably the most childish thing I’ve done since I’ve met the girls is the fact I always- Always can’t resist playing with their companions- Three of the most adorable fairies in the whole wide world. They were like little dolls- And I’ve never seen anything like them- So unique that I can’t describe! Their white fluffy ears and white body make them the perfect little ones for nuzzling. They all were pretty similar, albeit one of them was younger and a bit of a baby. There’s a pink one- Chypre, a blue one- Coffret, and the baby one was orange- Potpourri, their colors indicated by various of their traits or accessories like a scarf or their bow or an ornament.
I could rant about your looks all day, I once told the little ones.
Sorry, where was I? Right.
“It still feels awkward that I’m gushing over four teenage girls who can turn into the most powerful type of heroines that saved the world,” I say.
The girls giggle.
“You said it yourself,” Tsubomi laughs, then whispers, ”Maybe the fact we’re the Precure attracted you.”
“Yeah! I can’t recount how many times we saw boys talking about us!” Erika says.
“And just because you’re a boy, doesn’t mean you can’t like girlish things,” Itsuki adds. “Just like me when I realized it thanks to Erika and Tsubomi. I mean, I’m a girl who used to pretend to be a boy and all that, but now I’m fine with showing this side of me.”
I shrug. “Makes sense. *sigh*”
Yuri shoots me a curious look. “What’s the matter?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Erika shuffles close to nudge me. “Come on, what are friends for?”
I chuckle.
“W-Well... I’m just...” I lost my words in a second. So, a bit of silence occurred, before I thought of something else. “Hey, you know what? I suddenly have an idea.”
“Oh?” They all ask.
“I’m not sure if this is your cup of tea, but you know how people like going on social media and sharing videos of themselves doing stuff? I have a channel on YouTube and it’ll be awesome to make a video with you all. Sounds cool?”
I didn’t see it, but Twilight’s jaw drops open as soon as I said that.
“Yeah, sure!” Tsubomi replies. “You girls?”
“Oh, count me in!” Erika giggles.
“I don’t see why not,” Itsuki says, “Just to embrace my casual side more.”
“Yuri?”
She smiles- something that’s actually pretty rare. “Well, since my friends are in, I wouldn’t want to miss out.”
“Great! You girls are just the best.”
“So! What are we gonna record videos about?”
“Anything will do, Erika! Wanna plan? And I’ll record with y’all when you’re good?”
“Sounds like a plan,” Itsuki nods.
“Sure. As long as we don’t do anything crazy, I’ll be fine.”
“*giggles* Yuri, let’s have some fun together, come on!” Erika giggles.
We all have a good laugh.
************
Normal POV.
Twilight, sitting outside, heard most of the things they said. She can only watch in disbelief- Her best friend, attracted by another group of characters from another world? She slops to the ground, her eyes wide open, trying to process what’s happening in front of her.
Nathan, as her best friend, have been lying to her- Sneaking away to a world of another show.
She trusted him. He was her kind’s ally from Earth. He was her closest friend- Arguably a romantic partner, even. And he’s now hanging out with new friends. This fact sent her some pretty devastating thoughts of what he thought about her. Twilight leans on the glass wall, breathing.
“How could he...?”
For a moment, she couldn’t control herself, sending herself into a spiral of misconceptions.
”You ponies don’t care about me anymore...”
“I know you’re a ruler now. But you promised we will still be just as close...”
“I’m finding some other people to turn to.”
“Someone who’s there for me to have fun with whenever I wish.”
“Someone to record with me, a new spotlight on the channel.”
“Someone... Who cares about me enough to be my friend.”
Twilight clutches her head, slowly turning into insane mode from all the thoughts, like when she panicked when she receives the news she’ll inherit the throne, or that one time she wanted to turn her reports in during the nick of time. She couldn’t believe I was doing this as a friend and thought I thought they aren’t worthy.
She was immediately fuelled with jealousy.
*Cries*
**Bangs on glass**
“Huh?” Coffret turns to the sound.
“What was that sound desuka?” Chypre asks.
They all didn’t even to listen to that- Their ears all perked up when they heard the sound.
“How rude deshu~!” Potpourri squeaks.
The girls look to each other in confusion. Nathan just stands there, going into deep thought, curious and puzzled.
**Back In Equestria.**
Nathan’s POV.
I return to Equestria during the evening. But, as soon as I returned to the Friendship Castle, someone awaits me.
"Luna?" I ask the one before me.
Luna shows a bit of a frown on her face.
"Y-You're home late."
"Oh? Sorry. I was doing something with my friends back home."
Luna shakes her head.
"Nathan, I... I'm curious about something. Twilight isn't doing very well."
"What kind?"
"Insanity."
"Eh?" I ask. "What do you mean, she turned insane?"
"Well, not exactly diagnosis bad, but basically she might've... gone a little off. I don't even know what she's blabbering about, but Twilight does seem to be very mad about something related to you."
I gasp.
"H-How did you know...?"
"I was there. I hear Twilight crying in her room, mentioning things about you."
Then, I remember. I recall the bang on the wall of the Botanical Garden an hour or two ago when I was hanging out with my friends. The fact we saw hardly anybody at all, despite our reaction being almost simultaneous, was another point of suspicion.
And then, it clicked.
"*gasp* Oh no..."
"Huh?"
"L-Luna... Can you do me a favor and teleport me there right now?"
"I don't know if she wants to see you, though."
"Please? Or... Maybe I'll explain all this to you and Tia?"
Luna shrugs. "You can tell me."
***************
When I knocked, Twilight didn't answer me.
I could tell- She saw everything and heard everything I said to them. I am pretty sensitive, so I could tell my words pierced her heart in an unintended way. She was yelling from inside, telling us to leave and let her be. But I never meant to do that. Sure, I've bonded with them the same way, so what? I just wanted some new friends and explore. I, from months ago, did not expect this at all.
I couldn't sleep that night.
Now that Twilight is a leader, I worry if she had the misconception I was making new friends behind their back, they would think I'm leaving her and her friends that I loved so much. She's already jealous, and I can see that through her actions. I have no idea what kind of things she'll do, now that she has absolute power- being the Princess of Friendship, somepony who hates any form of betrayal against the subject... If she was misled by my intention, who knows what she will do?
Originally, I only did this so I could get company when my pony buddies are busy. When my friend introduced me to the show they were in, I was hooked. They were perfect- Pretty, cheerful and strong, just like Twilight and her friends. I had no intention to break apart my bond with the ponies, however. Yeah, I'm crazy into the four now, I'm spending a lot of time with them and we have a great time. That's just what friends do.
I just don't understand what's on Twilight's mind.
So, feeling a little helpless and nervous, I finally spilled the one thing my new friends have yet to know.
*************
"Say what now?"
Erika asks me as we walk around town, just to hang out. Itsuki and Yuri weren't there, but Tsubomi came since, well, she's best friends with Erika, after all. I sigh. I don't want them to get involved in the confusion about me knowing about a whole other world besides planet Earth that even they don't know about, even though they've crossed paths with people like them from other worlds.
I try to describe what that world is like to the two. They seem to be very fascinated, but I can tell they were trying to keep their composure as I said it in a moody manner.
"Indeed," I reply. "I am from Earth, per se. It's a long story, how I met up with the ponies from another world, that I'll tell you all later. Point is, they found out about the fact I'm sneaking over here to this world."
Tsubomi and Erika exchange a glance.
"What's the problem with that?" Tsubomi asks, tilting her head.
"I know! We should totally meet your friends from there!" Erika exclaims. "We're all from a world beyond yours, it's awesome when we meet people from other worlds, as long they aren't like... *gags*"
"Desert Apostles?" I fill in the blanks.
"Yeah, they stirred up quite the trouble before. Glad they're gone now."
"Well, Tsubomi, Erika, the reason why I'm so nervous about telling you all this... *sigh* Is because... I-I don't want them to think like I'm abandoning them."
“Why would they think that?” Erika asks.
“Well, you see, I’m kind of a big deal back in the pony world Equestria. I’m kind of their ally from Earth. To be honest, I always felt like being loyal to the show they’re in in the past was the reason why I sympathize with them so much. I’ve always been loyal to them. My Little Pony is the show I’ve loved for years on end, even after their version ended.”
“And then, you girls came along.”
Tsubomi, confused, asks, “Oh? Did we... Do something wrong?”
“No, absolutely not. I think it’s natural I start loving another franchise, the one you girls are in. My friend introduced me to you all, and I was hooked. I adored your series- The adventures, the art style, the awesome characters... Everything. Just like I was a year ago, I so desperately wish that I could meet you, Tsubomi. And you too, Erika, and of course Itsuki and Yuri.”
“But now I’m worried. I’ve spent so much time with the ponies- So much passion poured into doing things related to them and being friends with them, that I thought... If I was to suddenly switch over to caring more about you guys, maybe... Maybe they’ll get the wrong idea. My friend Princess Twilight already did.”
“You told us before that you wanted to find and make more friends to keep you company when your friends couldn’t, right?” Tsubomi asks.
“Mhmm, since my friend now rules a whole kingdom.”
“Well, I don’t think you need to worry, Nathan,” She continues. “Friendships aren’t limited to any one kind of people. And you can love whatever franchise you want, but loving one doesn’t stop you from loving others, right? The four of us really like having you as a friend. Timid, but playful and kind. Haha, just like me when I was younger. I’m shy and introverted back then. But now... Friendships with my three best friends really brought out the best in me.”
Erika giggles and pats my shoulder. “You know what? As I said, I’m sure they’re all in for making some new friends from a whole other world again. *whispers* We could also show them we’re the Precure since that’s why you like us. By the way, what do the ponies look like? I would love to meet them if they’re cute. I mean, I always love cute creatures like my fairy Coffret, could we maybe-“
“Erika!” Tsubomi giggles, slapping a hand over her mouth.
“Sorry, Okay? Anyway! The point is! There’s no reason to fear for your conflicting loyalty towards us or them. For one, if you really love the ponies over us, it’s fine! We won’t be mad. And plus, we’re all your friends, and we all care about you.”
I smile.
“Th-Thanks for understanding, but...” I blush. “I’m not sure if Twilight will have the same opinion...”
“Sure she will! If she really is this Princess of Friendship you’re talking about, there’s no reason for her to feel betrayed,” Tsubomi replies.
“Really?”
“Of course!” They both say, winking.
“Hahaha, awwww. You know, I find you girls far cuter than what I see from pony sometimes.”
We all laugh.
***************
*portal woosh*
“Whoa... H-Hey, Twilight.”
The moment I return, I see Twilight in a definitely-not-Fine-But-pretending-to-be-fine State. Her mane is messed up, she’s carrying an innocent but forced smile, and she seems to be very intent on looking at me.
“Wh-What are you doing?”
“Mmmm, Nothing~” Twilight hums, nuzzling against me.
“H-Hey, that tickles, come on,” I say.
Her muzzle soon presses against my nose, and I let out a hideous blush, looking at her smile and focussed eyes.
“Nathan... How much exactly do you like us ponies?”
I raise an eyebrow.
“Uh... Very very much, no?”
“Uh huhhhh....” She says, awkwardly stretching out the syllables, “Reeeeeeeally?”
“Y-Yeah, What?”
I temporarily pull back and I was going to leave the room to do something else, but Twilight decides to reel me back over with magic. I become entrapped in a tight embrace with her two front hooves.
“*giggles* I’m having a rough day... Can you hug me?”
“Uhhh, the hay, Twi?”
“Hm?”
I turn to hug her.
“H-Hey, What’s wrong?”
“N-Nothing... I just suddenly feel depressed...”
I play with her mane a little as she squeezes tighter.
“You are really affectionate, huh...”
“Oh, because I’m your best friend, am I not?”
I want to let go, but Twilight would not let me out.
“Twi? Can you let go now?”
She shakes her head, nuzzling her muzzle against me as she did so.
“Stay, my friend...”
“Wh-Wha?”
“You know why I’m asking this...”
I make a confused face. “I have no idea what you’re talking about...?”
“Don’t you lie!” Twilight cried, a tear leaking out. “You’re hanging out with another group of friends!”
“Ohhhhhh, that? What’s the problem?”
I try to finagle my way out of the hug.
“Let me go!”
“Only if you admit that you love us more than them!”
“What do you mean!? I always loved you girls...”
I am absolutely mind-boggled at this point, I don’t even care, I just fling her off. But, unexpectedly, she just tackles me right on her bed. I don’t want to, but I struggle. I don’t even know what she’s so mad about.
“Nathan... All that stuff I heard... You’re trying to replace me and the ponies or something?”
“What? No!”
“You sound like you want to.”
“I’m not.”
“Nate, I thought you liked our show- And that’s always been a fact. Now you’re going to like some other franchise out of nowhere? You know, when I found you sneaking out that morning... I wondered what you’ve been doing, so secretive you have to do it when nopony knows. All the excuses are made clear- So you’ll rather hang out with them?”
“Twilight, what are you trying to say?”
She lets go.
“I’m saying that I suspect that just because we, and especially I, am now ruling over a nation, and can’t record with you and have fun with you... Just because of that, you’ve decided to find a ‘replacement’ for us!”
“What the- What!?”
Twilight cries.
“It’s not like I don’t care about you, Nathan... I really wanted to hang out with you too... And now you found someone else? Have you forgotten about me?”
“N-No, I-“
“Whatever, I just don’t want to talk to you, until you cancel the portal connection with their world. I know I mean so much to you, and the same for you to me... I love you, but... I just can’t imagine you finding new best friends!”
She runs out the door.
“Twilight!”
I drop to the floor. I’m shocked- She has never spoken to me like that before-
Why am I rhyming so much? Hold on, let me try that again.
I fall to my knees. Why did she just speak to me like that? She’s never said things like that in the past. She always tried to understand me and what I want to say before voicing her opinions. And now she just rushes out the door, completely ignoring me!
My head dips down as I hear a woosh behind me.
“Nathan-San?”
It was a fairy’s voice. A cute one, in fact. Then came two more.
“What happened desuka?” Chypre asks, flying in front of me.
“Are you okay? What’s wrong?” Coffret follows.
Potpourri comes over to nuzzle me, hoping that will make me feel better.
“Feel any better deshu?”
“No, Potpourri... Thanks, but I don’t think your trick on Itsuki will work on me.”
“Hate to say it, but he has a point.”
I turn my head to find Itsuki and the others coming from the portal. I sigh and get up, holding her fairy.
“Let me fill you girls in...”
***************
Normal POV.
Twilight sits on a hilltop, looking over Ponyville, to get a better state of mind.
The sun sets, making way for a peaceful evening and about to enter the night. Usually, Nathan would be here to accompany Twilight to watch- We used to do that all the time. He would ruffle his friend’s mane, as she tickles his sides, making them giggle to no end.
But she has no room in her heart for negotiation tonight.
She’s confused, disappointed, and jealous all at the same time. She thought he found new friends and she thought he didn’t care about them, evident from how often he started going to their world in the past few months, and lesser times actually spent with her and her friends. She just didn’t want him, such a special and symbolic person in their world, going off to having ties with another show that aimed at the exact same fanbase, carried about the same message, and with the similarly lovable characters like hers does.
”Why must you leave just because we don’t seem to find you anymore?” She ponders. ”We always cared for you... And now you’ll leave us to please another show and their characters?”
From a distance, a certain fairy uses her magic powers behind the princess.
“Her heart flower is the Yellow Rose desu...” Chypre states.
“I didn’t know ponies had heart flowers,” Coffret says, “Oh no... And it’s wilting desu...”
“The yellow rose stands for Friendship and Joy,” Potpourri adds, then letting out a frown. “How sad deshu... She thought Nathan-san forgot about her...”
The one accompanying the three motions for them to lay low as she steps near Twilight.
“Excuse me, are you Princess Twilight?”
Twilight turns- To Find a human girl she recognizes. She immediately turns back.
“Yes, what do you want from me now?”
Yuri doesn’t reply and silently sits down right next to the princess.
“You are Yuri, one of Nathan’s new friends, right?”
Yuri nods. “Tsukikage Yuri. Now, I heard from Nathan, he said you’re not doing very well?”
Twilight nods.
“I know you’re a good friend of his. And... I wish to help. Could you tell me-“
“You took him away...”
Yuri hesitates.
“*chuckles* Yeah, Nathan’s happier with you all, no?”
“Wh-what do you mean?”
The pony sighs.
“When I first met Nate, he is this cool, awesome guy that my friends and I loved hanging out with. He’s from a whole other world, and we wanted to know more about him so much. We always chat and play together, and even record some of his videos as well. I don’t think Nathan and I have had a single fight. We love each other so much, we’re pretty much a couple. I hoped that he would stay forever, just like how he loved the show years ago, and never forgot about us even when it ended, again, several years ago.”
“*sigh* But then... You all came along.”
Yuri was a little surprised by her sudden change in tone.
“Someone who he admired more than us... When I became the ruler of my nation, my friends and I were, indeed, very busy and didn’t have much time to do our own things, especially for me. I feel like all this kinda is my fault... If I spent more time with Nathan, he might realize how much I care for him... And now he’s finding you girls to replace us in the videos he’ll make on his channel. I just... Don’t want him to forget me. And at this rate, he will at some point... I just can’t bear to lose against you girls- Losing him, who has meant so much to me.”
Twilight curls into a ball and starts sighing and slowly crying. Yuri hesitates, before putting out a hand to comfort her.
“Your Highness,” Yuri says, “We never meant to do such a thing as to take him away from you. Friendships are not limited to anyone in any world. Nathan can like us, but he can still be in love with you girls too. He’s a great friend- And we feel so lucky to have him as a friend, even though he’s much older than us. You all should be glad too, that he’s willing to extend his hands of friendship to you all.”
“Friends ultimately have their own things to do. Duties to fulfill. And over time, it’s easy to be so caught up in what you’re doing yourself that you forgot about the ones around you. But when you really think about your friends during these times, you’ll find just how much you miss them, how much you care, and how much you want to see them. Nathan’s been telling us about this recently, and I think that without a doubt, he yearns for your care and friendship proved to him.”
Twilight stops crying and finally looks at her.
“But... But I really do love him as a friend...”
“You understand the importance of friendship, don’t you? If you both can understand each other, and know what each other is going through, he’ll understand just how much you cared about him. He is kind of misled by the fact you haven’t been hanging out a lot with him like you used to. Now, he knows that he is wrong to think that way.”
“Yuri-san is Right!”
The two turn, to find Tsubomi, Erika, and Itsuki, all with their fairy partners.
“Nathan really cares about you, your highness!” Tsubomi says, with a hint of passion.
“Onegai! He doesn’t want to see you mad!”
That was weird. I’ll change it...
“Please! He doesn’t want to see you mad!” Erika begs.
“Nathan-San is really sorry about all this. Please give him a chance!” Itsuki says, bowing.
Twilight gasps and a frown can be seen on her face. It was then Nathan finally steps into the scene. He walks slowly towards her, then crouching down to talk to her.
She turns away.
"Nathan, I..."
He sits down and pats her head from behind.
"Twilight, you feel any better now?"
"*sniff* Stop comforting me..."
"Why?"
"I said a bunch of meaningless words to you... I was being selfish... I was being naive..."
He chuckles. "What are you saying to yourself, Twi?"
"*sniff* Don't you... Hate me? For mistaking your feelings about us? I never really knew you felt so... Lonely, when we took on our new roles. So when I found out you were going to another world, I instantly thought you were trying to make new friends to replace us. I feared that if you did, which you kinda ended up doing... You'll..."
*Sobs*
"You wouldn't want to hang out with us anymore..."
He stays silent and just hugs her. Twilight tries to pull away.
"I've always cared about you. No matter how busy I was. You're always on my mind, and I always hoped that I could see you and we can have some fun, away from the stress of my work. I'm sorry I acted that way last night, yelling at how you don't care about us and pay more attention to them. I shouldn't have been preventing you to make new friends, but to encourage that. I just... Got the wrong idea."
He ruffled her mane, making her giggle at the familiar touch.
“You apologize too much,” He laughs, “I was not mad at you, Twilight, but rather confused at what you were saying, nothing more. You’re on my mind too. You know, my new friends... This new show I’m into... When I got into it, I knew at once by using the spell you used to reach out to me, I’ll be able to meet them. So I did exactly that. My intention, if you haven’t figured it out already, was only to simply make some new friends and see what new things about friendship I can find by being friends with other people- Different cultures, different style, and different personalities.”
“I don’t blame you for misunderstanding. I had this thought too- That you’ll think I am abandoning you all for them. But the truth is that I am certainly not. You’re still my best friends, and they’re friends of mine too- That’s just how it is, and it wouldn’t change. ’Make new Friends, but keep the old,’ am I right?”
He gives a cute wink.
“*chuckles* Thanks, buddy.”
“You’re so welcome, Twi.”
They have a nuzzle before letting go, and standing back up.
“So!” He says, clapping his hands, “You girls! Wanna introduce yourselves?”
They all shrug. Not even a minute after they finished, the group hears a yell.
“Twilight!!!!”
She turns a few times before she sees her assistant fly over.
“Spike! What’s the rush?”
“Th-th-th-th-The Changelings!”
“Huh? Aren’t they-”
“Chrysalis! Invasion! Defense! NOW!”
Twilight and Nathan gasp.
“She did WHAT now!?” She yells. “Did she start a civil war!?”
Spike nods vigorously. That’s when Nathan had a brilliant idea.
“Girls?”
“Yes?” The group of seven replies.
“Huge favor? Please?”
“What’s the matter desuka?” Coffret asks.
He takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself and structure together on how to explain all this in the shortest time possible.
“*quickly* Okay, the pony world has this hostile race called the changelings led by Queen Chrysalis, who has now defeated the ruler of the good changelings in a sudden civil war and is now apparently about to attack the rest of Equestria. Capiche?”
The teenagers eyeball each other.
“*groan* Precure. NOW.”
“Ohhhhhhh!” They all giggle.
“Sure thing!” Tsubomi replies. “We haven’t done this in a while, and we’re eager to get back into it!”
Erika pounded her chest with a fist. “Just leave it to us! This should be no problem!”
“Don’t underestimate the changelings,” Twilight says in a serious tone. “They can shapeshift into different things at their own will- a perfect way of distraction.”
Yuri nods. “She is right. We may have beaten hundreds of Sunackies from the Desert Apostles before, and I’m willing to bet there are going to be many of them. There’s no room for being cocky.”
“Right,” Itsuki agrees, “The worst thing you can do is to underestimate your opponent.”
“Well! What are we waiting for desu!?” Chypre cries.
“We need to get there now desu!” Coffret follows.
Twilight raises an eyebrow.
“Uhhh... Nate?”
“Yes?”
“Did the... Whatever those things are...” She points at the fairies.
“Yep. They talk.”
“Okay... And how are they supposed to-”
“I know, the group doesn’t look powerful, but trust me, you will see. No need to bring the Royal Guard.”
“What!?”
Potpourri makes an unamused face and squishes against Twilight’s muzzle.
“How dare you underestimate my dear Itsuki deshu!”
“Ahhhhh! Get her off of me!”
The fairy bangs her little stubby hands on the Alicorn’s horn before Itsuki pulls her away. The rest of them give a short laugh or a smile, before returning to the matter at hand.
“Right! Then let’s get this party rolling!” Erika says enthusiastically, putting her hand in the center of the group.
The other three were quick to do the same, then throwing their hands into the air.
****************
Nathan’s POV.
Twilight called her other friends over to assist the defense on our way to the new changeling kingdom. It looks like they are tucked in for the night early- The perfect time for a sudden attack. But, rather than initiating the attack right away, we thought it would be much safer for the sun to come out, and lure the changelings out. If we attack the moment we arrived, it would much more difficult to infiltrate into the base as the entirety of the changelings would heavily guard the passages to the throne room.
So what we did was set up a temporary camp and wait out the night. Our friends arrived a little later. The fairies agreed to get up early and raise an ear for any abnormalities.
Our plan was extremely simple. As the girls will transform into the legendary heroines, the Precure, I knew they will have no trouble handling the front line. Therefore, the plan is that they will attack first to plow right through the major defenses. Given Chrysalis’ impatience to attack, Spike predicted she will likely send in almost the entirety of the horde, only to fall right into our defense trap. Once the situation slowly becomes manageable, Twilight and her friends will come out to aid the fight, pushing the rest of the horde back under control. With this distraction, the Precures will rush straight to the throne room, with Spike and I to lead the way and detect any other hostilities inside the base. We then split, so I can free the innocent changelings that have been captured alive, while the Precure attack.
That wasn’t simple at all, but you guys want it that way, so fine.
*****************
“Tsubomi!”
“Erika!”
“Itsuki!”
The three girls wake up at an instant.
“They’re here?”
“Yes deshu!” The fairies alert.
They quickly call me up and the rest of the gang.
“How in the world are we supposed to defend when we just woke up?” Starlight asks.
I smile. “Yuri, do you have the heart pot?
“Right here,” She replies, holding up a glass pot filled with colorful objects that look like candies. “Are you trying to find a heart seed?”
“Yep! Which one is the seed that gives you energy again?”
Potpourri grabs the pot and takes a look.
“Let me see deshu... Aha! Found it!”
“One of you, heart perfume!”
“Right here!” Tsubomi says, holding her Heart Perfume up.
The heart perfume is a pale, elongated spray-like object. The base is a very pale variant of the Cures' theme color with a vine design and either side. A thickly ornate gold plate is on the middle, lined in a dark variant of the Cures' color. At the middle is a large hole for the Heart Seed. On top is a gold, leafy shape with a small hole on it. A similar hole is also on the white rosebud on top of it.
Twilight’s eyes open up in curiosity. “What’s it do?”
“It can be used with the heart seeds from their heart pot to give us different additional powers,” I explain, inserting a magenta heart seed into the slot. “This one is the saintly perfume- One spray is the key- So let’s go all out!”
As soon as I give the ponies a spray of the perfume, they immediately got their mojo back.
“Haha, woo! I feel much more in the zone now!” Rainbow Dash says with enthusiasm.
Pinkie giggles, admiring the glitter effect. “Oooooh! Pretty!”
The others giggle.
“Seriously, Pinkie?” Applejack asks, “These powers are so cool, and you’re admirin’ the glitter?”
“These perfumes are also the key to helping the girls transform,” I explain further. “We just need their Precure seeds.”
“So where are they?” Twilight asks.
“Leave it to us deshu!” Potpourri replies.
“Alright then,” I say. “You girls, have fun!”
“Will do!” They all reply.
The changelings seem to be ready for their next attack. I was scouting the area through Twilight’s magic, and they seem to be preparing for a formation or some sort. During their plan, the girls step out into the open wasteland.
“Hold it right there!” Erika announces.
The changelings all change their point of view to face them. They were pretty intimidating- There are probably several hundred of them, all looking at them with their blue, eerie eyes.
“We hear that your kind wishes to plunge the whole of this world into disaster, and we are here to protect!” Itsuki follows.
“We hear you all are fierce creatures. You are a threat to ponykind, wishing to destroy and enslave the nation,” Yuri says, “But you all are taking away their love in selfishness- Instead of striving for harmony and sharing the love of everyone’s hearts in this world.”
“The acts you’re about to cast upon our new friends... Unforgivable!” Tsubomi says, “I... I’ve had enough!”
Tsubomi gives a glance at her friends. In a flash, they whip out their heart perfumes and unlock the compartment to reveal the round slot inside it. Yuri does something a little different- She takes out the heart pot and opens the cover instead.
The fairies fly over as the silver heart pendants they wear around their little necks glow, in pink, blue and yellow respectively.
“Precure Seeds, go!”
The magic shoots out of the pendants, creating three seeds similar to the heart seeds, but noticeably more beautiful. Their color corresponded with the color of their magic. Yuri’s seed was already with her- A purple one, that she wears around her neck as a pendant herself.
”Precure,openmyheart!”
They all insert their Precure Seeds into the slot of the perfume and pot respectively, as they start to transform with beautiful colors in mid-air. The magic from the perfume and heart pot help change their outfit and traits like their hair. At an instant, they look very different from their original human form, which really brought out their heroine vibe.
Tsubomi’s hair is nicely tied into a bright pink ponytail. Her costume is mostly pink and white, with her skirt shaped like a blooming flower. Her light pink boots reached her knees, adorning with flower ornaments on her ankle. Arm warmers with dark pink edges are on her wrists. Her heart perfume perches on her waist. The deep pink bow with a heart-shaped brooch on her chest completes her look.
Erika’s cyan locks flow behind her like the waves of water. A heart-shaped accessory with blue ribbons perches on her head. Her costume has a striking resemblance to Tsubomi’s new look, but it’s blue and white dominantly. Her boots are short, but her long white stockings reached her upper thighs. The same heart-shaped brooch is embedded on a blue bow on her chest. Once she finishes the transformation, like Tsubomi, the heart perfume perches on her waist, as she gives a light tap to lock it in place.
Itsuki’s golden twintails shone like the sun. Her costume was yellow and white in color. Her skirt was about the same as the ones above, but her costume was a unique two-piece costume. She wears gold flower earing and an orange ribbon was tied around her neck. Her heart brooch was perched on a bright yellow bow.
Yuri’s mesmerizing lavender hair reached way down to her knees. Her bangs were asymmetrical and swept into a crescent shape on the left side of her head, two rose-shaped ornaments on her head. Her ruffled sleeves were shaped like wings, and her right arm was wearing a long, purple glove while her left wrist has the same arm warmers as the others did. Her silver skirt was hiked up at the front, just below the black ribbon around her waist, a purple layer beneath the silver one. Her heart brooch was a purple rose perching on her left shoulder.
I am already completely fanboying at the sight in front of my eyes, as they all pose and get ready for their introductions.
**************
“The flower that spreads throughout the land...”
Tsubomi lets out a smile and poses.
”Cure Blossom!”
“The flower that Flutters by the Ocean winds...”
Erika puts out a hand, looking like she’s charging a ball of magic in her hand as she poses.
”Cure Marine!”
“The Flower that bathes in the Sunlight...”
Itsuki does a twirl and spread her arms wide.
”Cure Sunshine!”
“The Flower that glistens in the light of the Moon...”
Yuri allows her hair to flow for a second, then twirls as her hair flows along her movement, then pointing to her left with a finger in style.
”Cure Moonlight!”
The four all give a light tap on their heart brooches on their new outfits, and end off their transformation with a group pose as magical hearts get cupped between their hands.
HeartcatchPrecure!
**************
“Ahhhhhhhh they’re so beautiful!!” I squeak as I watch what is going on.
Twilight rolls her eyes.
“We get it, Nate. Now stand by!”
“Fine, Fine, haha.”
The changelings know that the four Precures were a threat to them at an instant. They launch their attack on them immediately. With no fear, the Precures charge right forward into the horde and start beating up Changelings for such a long time that it seemed like forever. With their newfound strength, the four all land heavy physical attacks, and because the Changelings are in a much smaller size than what they are used to fighting before, sometimes they have no trouble in completely lifting one of them up, and throwing it against a bunch of changelings at the same time.
It’s not the fact that it’s hard that kept the Precure away from their goal. It’s the fact the changeling horde was much bigger than the group had thought- Wave after wave came to the scene. The good thing is that the Precure was basically taking in all the force and overpowering it all at once before they can land a step on their attack against the main kingdom.
The Precures’ fast reflexes and strength obliterated the horde, sending them flying (naturally) with their punches, kicks and even spells. They can even jump in insane heights that the changelings could not reach before they get pummeled right back to the ground. This fight was nowhere close to a challenge for them, given the fact they have overpowered many alien beings far stronger than what they’re dealing with. Even despite the Changelings' ability to shapeshift, the Precures adapted to their diversion strategies very quickly.
”Marine Impact!”
Marine’s prey gets blasted from the air right back to the ground, knocking over a bunch of changelings. Then, she fires a ball of magic for a combo attack.
“Moonlight!”
Moonlight immediately catches on.
”Moonlight reflection!”
She summons two silver pads of magic, reflecting the projectiles on their enemies. Then, she dashes forward to pick off a few more, before getting overwhelmed by the size of the new horde. She was taking in the damage on her own, but a new wave just came in and they were tough.
But, the others were ready.
”Sunflower Protection!”
An all-around yellow shield, set up by Sunshine, blocks the movement of the changelings charging to them, also defending from their strategy of trapping their opponents with their green gooey slime.
But someone wasn’t too lucky.
“Girls!”
The three turn to find Blossom getting spit on, being entrapped.
“Blossom!”
Marine quickly dashes over and jumps high into the air.
”Marine Dive!”
The force from her contact with the ground sends a shockwave that knocked the surrounding enemies back, also freeing Blossom.
“Thanks!” Blossom sighed in relief. “Now, I have an idea!”
“Go on!”
“Let’s all attack at the same time!”
“Sure thing!”
They all get in position, facing the horde. Blossom and Marine both draw in a circle motion with their open palms, channeling some kind of energy. Sunshine moves her hands in a way that also looks like channeling energy.
”Sunshine Flash!”
”Marine Shoot!”
”Blossom Shower!”
In a flash, waves of gold magic flares, big droplets of water, and pretty flowers shoot out from the magic they were channeling, knocking much of the horde back with a huge force.
Then something interesting happened.
”Moonlight Spark!”
Moonlight casts a spell that was similar to the three, but with the same force of all three with one spell, knocking off the rest at the back with powerful, lavender projectiles of magic.
“Wait a minute!” Marine teases, “You never did that, Moonlight!”
“I’ve never seen you do that, that’s for sure!” Blossom says.
Moonlight shrugs.
“I guess I just never bothered using my sub-attack, but I've used it before I met all of you. Now, Fairies, call Nathan and the others.”
The fairies nod and fly off to notify us, looking from a distance. And what timing, too- A minute later what’s left of the horde start doing a pretty good job at dodging their attacks, allowing them to push back momentarily against the Precure. Well, not really push back, but just hold up their offense.
That is, until...
**Zaaaaaaaaaap**
“We’ll take it from here!” Twilight commands, “You all take the queen down!”
The Cures nod.
“Chypre, Coffret, let’s go!” Blossom says.
“Will do desu!”
In a flash, the fairies summon their magic powers and turn into a bright pink and bright blue cape for Blossom and Marine, allowing them to fly off the ground. Moonlight gives her heart-brooch a tap to summon her bright purple cape.
“Sunshine!” Marine calls.
Sunshine finishes beating up a few more changelings with a leg swoop before responding.
“Potpourri!”
“Right here deshu!”
The baby fairy turns into a bright yellow cape tied around Sunshine’s neck, and away they go as the ponies stay behind. The Precures plow right through any opposition, clearing the path and allowing Spike and I to make our mad dash to catch up.
“*panting* It’s really hard for me to catch up when you all can fly and I can’t!”
I say, trying to keep my pace. The group stops and turns back. Moonlight opens the lid of the heart pot and Blossom takes a red heart seed, placing it in her heart perfume’s slot.
“Here, try this!”
She gives me a spray of the Heart Perfume.
“Now, try!”
They take off, and I notice my movement getting much faster than before. I give a chuckle, readied myself, then took off at a crazy speed, allowing myself to catch up fairly easily.
Inside the throne room, Queen Chrysalis was chilling on her throne. Of course, that was until she realizes what is going on.
”Moonlight Silver Impact!”
The Cures blast through the final changelings guarding the entrance to the throne room after 10 minutes of navigating through the maze of her castle.
“Ah, you ponies finally decided to- What the-!?”
Moonlight is not wasting any time. She summons her magic heart from a tap on her heart brooch.
”Gather, flower power! Moon Tact!”
The heart changes into a unique object- The flower tact. Moonlight’s flower tact is white with silver accenting. On the bottom of it is a purple ornament to match the heart placed beneath the spinner, along with a tiny button further down. A purple gem rests on the very top of the tact. The spinner is a clear glass dome with pieces colored different shades of purple inside of it.
"Haaaaaaaaaah!!"
She charges, jumps high, and does an air slash, casting some kind of purple shockwave that almost obliterated the throne, had Chrysalis was not sitting on it and took the hit.
**Thud**
Chrysalis drops to the floor after being blasted by surprise. Moonlight stands before her, her right hand holding the tact.
“Wh-Who are you all?” She says. “What have you done to me!?”
The fairies all turn back to normal form, crossing their stubby arms.
“Stop trying to attack our friends deshu!” Potpourri cries.
“She’s right,” Blossom says. “You have threatened our new friends and their kingdom. As the protectors of all hearts, we strive to protect them from your forces, who are set on taking away their love!”
Chrysalis chuckles.
“So you all work with them, now?” She laughs. “Twice have they tried to defeat me, and I survived. It is hopeless to try- You all should turn around now before I blast you all into pieces. Not even Celestia and Luna can save them- How would just that Princess Twilight, that annoying Starlight Glimmer, and her weak friends supposed to beat me, now that the Elements of harmony are gone?”
Marine can’t help it- She bursts into laughter.
"You're too confident," Marine giggles. “You’re not getting out of here until we teach you a lesson!”
“What!?”
“Do not underestimate us,” Moonlight warns, “Protecting everyone’s hearts- Even though this is not our world, is our mission. And if your kind is going to put them in danger, we shall fight until their hearts are complete!”
Chrysalis lets out a hmph.
“So be it.”
She charges her magic from her horn, about to blast it at the four.
”Sunflower Aegis!”
Sunshine puts up a giant sunflower shield, reflecting the magic beam.
“Our turn,” She says.
The four quickly surprise the Queen with their reflexes and quick-witted attacks. Marine charges right at her, landing a number of punches and kicks despite some of them getting blocked. She kicks her into the air, where Sunshine was ready to drop a roundhouse on her, even using the Queen’s size to her advantage by grabbing her hooves and tossing her back down.
”Blossom Butt punch!”
Miraculously, as awkward as it is, Blossom gets in position, times in just right to strafe back, allowing her bottom to forcefully knock away their enemy right to the other side of the room.
“Seriously!?” Marine yells, half-laughing. “You had to, Blossom!”
“How do you punch with your butt!?” Chrysalis roars, charging back in.
Blossom quickly gets targeted, but unlike the past, she does an excellent job at dodging attacks here and there. She gets out of range for a moment, forcing the Queen to use her magic to blast her. The Cure ducks and jumps her way around, distracting her and allowing a sneak attack from behind.
”Precure Double Punch!”
Marine and Sunshine sidekick against the wall, and pummel a punch to her face on the way down, sending her flying back. Blossom does a cute wink.
“See? I’m not that bad.”
Moonlight couldn’t help but shrug. “You’ve gotten better.”
“Thanks! Haven’t done this in a while, but-”
**Woosh!**
Blossom gets blasted right to the wall. Marine blows a raspberry and makes a face.
“You get distracted so easily!”
Blossom gets up before she gets pummeled again. “Oh, excuse me, Marine! just watch!”
She taps her heart brooch, summoning her heart and her flower tact. The tact looks similar, it’s just smaller than Moonlight’s, had different colored accessories and the pieces in the spinner were rainbow colors.
”Gather, Flower Power! Blossom Tact!”
She spins the spinner, allowing its magic to take effect. She draws in a wavy line motion, then raises the Tact. A huge ball of pink magic appeared at the top of the tact- Looking like a very spherical peach with three giant leaves at the bottom.
”PRECURE PINK FORTE WAVE!”
The ball of magic blasts out, heading straight for the villain. But surprisingly, the Queen uses her magic and slowly pushes back the attack, making it unable to reach her. But, Blossom’s allies are prepared.
”Gather! Flower Power! Shiny Tambourine!”
Sunshine pulls out a very fancy looking tambourine- Which serves as a replacement of the flower tact. It is a white tambourine shaped like a sunflower with a row of gem hearts circling it, alternating between yellow and orange. At the center is an orange ring with four glowing light sections, two of gold, one red, and one orange. At the bottom of the tambourine is an orange heart. She does this little dance to kickstart the magic of the weapon before initiating her spell.
”PRECURE GOLD FORTE BURST!”
A stream of sunflowers busts out in style, targeting Chrysalis and freezing her in place. It was not enough to purify her, but Blossom’s Pink Forte Wave is able to hit its target now. Both attacks send a stream of magic flowing within the evil Queen’s heart, as she levitates in a blank state.
Both Cures spin the glass spinner rapidly to speed up the magic purifying her. However, to their surprise, nothing happened when the spell was done- All that happened was she dropped to the floor, but there was no change to her look.
“Huh?” Blossom asks, looking at Chrysalis. “That’s... Weird, why didn’t her heart flower show up? Or at least... Why does she still look the same?”
Marine comes to give the now passed out Queen a poke.
“Maybe it’s because she is not like the desertrians we fight back in our world,” Moonlight explains. “This is another world, after all.”
“True, if she was one, she would have transformed into a heart flower crystal and we can just find the ball containing her real self to bring her back,” Sunshine says.
Marine gives them a sign their mission is done. “I think the effect just needs some time to settle in! Moonlight’s right, we are in a different world, things aren’t the same here like in-“
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
“What was that?” Marine Cut her own words off.
“Ah! Our friends are in trouble desu!” Coffret cries.
“We need to hurry up and help them desu!” Chypre follows.
Moonlight nods. “Everyone, let’s go!”
*****************
Twilight and her friends, despite the situation now is under control, were surprisingly cornered by the rest of the horde, trapped in their puddle of goop. The changelings are about to start taking away their love- And they are hungry for it.
But then, the ponies heard a few fierce screams from above.
“PRECUREDYNAMITE!”
The moment the Precures touch ground, they crash down hard and initiate a powerful shockwave that obliterated just about every last changeling left, also freeing the ponies. They took a few seconds to process what in Equestria just happened.
“Whoa Whoa Whoa!” Rainbow Dash Chuckles, “That, was, AWESOME!”
“Thanks for helping us,” Fluttershy gives a light laugh. “I didn’t know you all can be so powerful.”
Marine laughs triumphantly.
“We used to fight creatures like these on a daily, at most a weekly basis, what’d you expect?” She laughs. “Plus, they are nowhere close to being so easy to defeat like the changelings...”
Twilight titters. “So, where’s Chrysalis?”
“Passed out,” Sunshine reports.
“Okay...? Seems like you all beat her up hard.”
“Oh, we did, haha!”
“Anyway, time to give them the talk and reform them,” Starlight says, “Did this last time, surely it’ll-“
”PRECURE BLUE FORTE WAVE!”
Before she could finish, Marine already whipped out her flower tact during the conversation and fired a similar blue ball of magic like the Pink Forte Wave, purifying a bunch of changelings clumped together after she magnifies its magic.
The ponies stand with their jaws dropped open.
“Too much?” Marine titters, scratching her head and blushing innocently.
The Precures all have a good laugh. Then, I return to the scene.
“Everyone!”
I was followed by many reformed changelings. Spike is with me as well.
“Nathan-san!” Blossom says in relief.
Spike looks around, levitating in mid-air.
“Geez, a lot has happened when we were gone.”
“Where’s King Thorax?” Twilight asks, noticing his absence.
I was about to reply before I hear whirring from behind and above me.
“Look out!” Moonlight warns, pushing me out of the way.
Chrysalis crashes down, hissing at the whole group. I blush before getting up and thanking my friend. The Queen turns to me, levitating the King in her grasp.
“Thorax!” Spike cries.
Thorax struggles in her grasp before his magic gets completely taken away by Chrysalis, leaving him momentarily unconscious.
“You! Whatever you are!”
I stare at her as I stand in front of my friends.
“You are the one who brought them here... You brought them to foil my plans!”
“Clever. How’d you know that’s my intention?”
“You knew Princess Twilight and her friends will not be enough to stop me. I see you’ve made friends with others from another world, so you can use them to protect your friends. How bittersweet. Not only did it cost you the trust of your old friends... They now realize how selfish you are, using them to win against me. You may win today, but will they still think of you the same way? You have been exploiting your new pals... Trying to complete a mission that Equestria has never managed to finish- Defeating me. Are you undermining their power and society?”
I gasp and look down. Chrysalis commands her remaining subjects to rise back up and get ready for attack.
“He’s not a traitor!”
Twilight and Blossom shout at the same time. I turn to the former, then the latter.
“Nathan-San does not only care about us for our power!” Blossom yells. “He’s friends with us for a reason. He genuinely likes us and enjoys spending time with us. He’s not using us to fight for the ponies’ nation... We’re all fighting together, to protect his friends as well!”
Twilight smiles and turn. “He’s not just our friend, even. He’s our kingdom’s ally, willing to help us with anything he can help with. No matter how drifted apart we might be due to all these obstacles in life, we are still best friends! Just because the Precure have become friends with him, does not mean our bonds are broken. Matter of fact, we are welcome for them to help- To stop your plea!”
I’m surprised.
“Twilight... Blossom...”
“We are not that weak to believe in your lies,” Sunshine says, “To think us two sides will fight over him with no compromise, is the thought of someone devoid of love and harmony themselves!”
Marine gives a nod. “Even someone like us, with a heart wider than the oceans, is at their limit! Moonlight!”
Moonlight whips out her flower tact.
”Shine, Flowers!”
”PRECURE SILVER FORTE WAVE!”
Moonlight’s Forte Wave was much more powerful than the others. Chrysalis was unable to step up to the force- Quickly getting grasped in the control of it’s purifying magic, struggling.
“Now!”
In a flash, Sunshine takes out her Shiny Tambourine, while Blossom and Marine get their tacts at the ready. Sunshine and Moonlight both draw a big lowercase ‘f’ with their weapon. Blossom and Marine do the same behind the Queen.
“PRECUREFLORALPOWERFORTISSIMO!”
In two pairs respectively, the four wrap themselves with a huge ball of magic, shoot into the skies and come crashing down upon the villain as their balls of magic get fused into a dual-colored heart, one with yellow and purple, the other with pink and blue. They pierce right through her as they land back down.
”Heartcatch!”
**BOOM**
A huge explosion occurs, leaving her unconscious. The explosion threw her high into the air.
“She’s not going to get purified, so let’s get her as far away as possible!” Marine giggles.
“Really? Well then! Give her your best shot!” I shout over the smoke clearing sounds.
The four look at one another, then nod. They come together, aim exactly at where the Queen is going to land after the blast, and get ready for another combined spell as the changelings are about to storm in and attack again.
“Ready?” Moonlight asks, giving a smile.
“Yep!”
As she gets in their view...
“Everyone! Take cover!!!!” I command as we all run.
“PRECUREIMPACT!”
A huge rainbow forcefield appears, and as soon Chrysalis and her horde get in range, they all get blasted off by a devastating rainbow shockwave straight into the unknown, out of their view in seconds.
****************
“Don’t tell anyone we’re the Precure- It’s supposed to be a secret.”
“Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!”
Pinkie and Tsubomi share a hearty laugh. After the battle, the Precures de-transform and decide to hang out with my pony friends, since they want to get to know each other as my friends. We’re all just casually lounging around in the Friendship Castle. Celestia and Luna, despite having stepped down, also came to thank the four, for their heroic efforts. They have been so used to their regal self, it’s still taking them some time to get used to having given up the throne and their duties, changing their roles to guide Twilight’s rule.
At another corner, Erika, being a fashion designer and all, is chatting with Rarity.
“I wonder what designs your kind has?” Erika ponders.
Rarity does a mane flip. “Darling, do come over for a visit sometime, I have all the time to share everything.”
“Yo, you all were so amazing over there! So cool!”
Rainbow Dash never thought she’ll be fangirling over humans, but somehow, she did.
“Y’all can really give these troublemakers a good beating, eh?” Applejack asks.
Itsuki gives a giggle.
“We Precures are much stronger than our human forms,” She clarifies. “Though, I practice martial arts on a daily basis anyhow, so...”
I have to add this in for the ship, people will kill me if I don’t.
“I don’t think my spells can match up against your magic attacks!”
Starlight is praising Yuri.
“Why not?”
“You, especially- How long have you been doing this?”
“4 years, the others about a year or so.”
“That’s amazing! But, I want to ask something, if you don’t mind...”
Yuri hesitates. “Oh?”
Starlight looks at the three fairies, who are tickling and playing with Fluttershy, making the pony giggle to no end.
“Wh-Why do the three all have their fairies, but you-”
“Don’t ask her about that desu!” Coffret yells.
Yuri gives him a signal to stop. “Well, it’s a long story... *sigh* He sacrificed himself to save me once when I’m fighting.”
Luna gasps, coming over.
“That’s so sad! Are you alright?”
“Don’t worry. I’m trying to get over it.”
Celestia comes. “Well, my sister has the power to control dreams of ponies. Perhaps she can help do you a little favor?”
“If I can do that with humans like you, please, do accept this as our token of gratitude.”
Yuri smiles. “Th-That would be great. I would love to see Cologne again- He’s my fairy and my best friend.”
“Well, Twilight?”
I was leaning against a wall as I watch them all get along. I look at twilight and nudge her.
“Yes?”
“You all hit it off just fine. What’s with your weird interpretations that they’re trying to take me away?”
Twilight gasps, and blushes.
“Hmph, I’m sorry, okay?”
I chuckle and pet her.
“Twi, come on. And you call yourself the Princess of Friendship.”
“Nathan!”
She playfully slap-fights with me.
“Haha,” I tease. “Twi, please don’t think I don’t care about you and think that I think you don’t care about me back. Because I do- very much.”
“*titters* Really?”
“Of course, what do you think I am? A desert apostle with no soul?”
“Eh?”
“Whatever, explain on a later day.”
I continue leaning against the wall.
“Nate...”
“Mhmm?”
Twilight smiles and blushes.
“Don’t leave me, okay?”
I hug her tight, and whisper, “Why would I ever leave you?”
Our hug catches the attention of the girls.
“Ah!” Erika gasps, pointing to us. “Nathan! *smirks* Whatcha doing?”
“N-Nothing!” I blush as I let go.
The ponies all laugh, and the cures can only shrug at the situation. I give an annoyed sigh.
“This is why I love you more,” I whisper.
“*giggles* You sensitive little guy,” Twilight whispers back.
Author's Note
Wow! Okay! 12,000 words! Did not expect that!
Before you go leaving comments on how bad this fanfic is, I will admit it, this is really bad, the fight scene was written horribly because let’s face it, apparently I still haven’t learned from writing my old series.
So, I’m pretty sure no one on this site has ever written a crossover with the Japanese cartoon series Pretty Cure, so I decided that I would take up the challenge and see what I can do. I’ve only joined that fandom for around a month, and I definitely think if you are a person that’s into cute things, awesome animation, light-hearted stories, this is a must-see if you’re already used to watching girlish cartoon shows like, say, Pony!
If you wish to know more about the series or you have something from this story you don’t understand, just click here for the fan wiki! Again, special thanks to my irl best friend, whose pen name I will reveal as MoonlitHope, for helping me write some parts of the story! Hope you enjoyed reading this, and now, I go!-
**************
It’s coming...
