PreCure! Jikan!

Time To Begin!

The sun shined on Tokyo, the lush green grass beneath her feet felt calming. The dark-haired girl stared down at her wristwatch seeming to check the time as a rabbit’s face popped up with a smile, “We are close to restoring the balance of the universe, Cure Grey.” The voice speaking had a deep bass that didn’t quite fit with his appearance. “But then what’ll happen, Tsuki? Would I have purpose in this timeline again or…” The girl, who had answered to Cure Grey, sat down against a large tree. Cherry blossoms were blooming and she curled up her legs remembering back to her first encounter with the rabbit.

A dark haired girl tied her hair into pigtails looking in the mirror. She was beginning her first year at Verone Academy, remembering that her friends were going to a different school then dampered her mood. She was going to be alone...again. I can’t let this affect me, the girl thought grabbing her phone and running out the door with a slice of bread in her mouth. At the same moment in a distant land ruled by fairies and pixies a rabbit was scurrying through a forest with a gear in its mouth. He checked behind him and seeing noone, the rabbit approached a tree and dropped the gear panting. “I should be safe. They probably gave up after seeing my great clockwork skills.” With a smug expression the rabbit thought of the statue that would be built for him once he returned. He was still lost in his dream world when a great wave of darkness swept through the area knocking down trees.

“Oh snap they’re here!” The rabbit though picking up the gear and dashing off. A tall man soon blocked the rabbit’s path, his outfit taking heavy inspiration from steampunk. Gears and bolts circled the man’s body as he extended an arm, “Now now little rabbit, give me that Jikan Gear and noone has to get hurt.” The rabbit barreled under the man sticking his tongue and proceeding out of the forest only to be greeted by a wide open lake. “My oh my, nowhere to run darling.” A woman’s voice declared sending out another wave of pure darkness. “If only you had listened to my partner your world wouldn’t be in such...how should I say, disarray.” The woman gave a low chuckle wiping locks of red hair out of her face. “Charlemane, why are you needing the gear so badly? Time will be out of balance without it.” The redhead gave another chuckle pointing a jagged finger at the rabbit, “You see little rabbit, my sister...her Highness if you will won’t allow us to have...any fun with anything related to history but that gear. Well that gear can bypass her barriers and with that power, time will be bent to my bidding.” The rabbit held the gear closer inching towards a tree, “That’s selfish of a person like you! Your sist-” “I don’t care what my sister thinks! Now give me the Jikan Gear!” A dark slice came towards the rabbit and he ducked in fright. Behind him came the growl of a man, “That’s too slow lil’ rabbit!” With a snort of a pig and a raise of an axe, a burly man came bursting through the forage landing a hit on the rabbit causing him to drop the gear and near the water. Charlemane slowly approached the gear and bent over picking it up, “Ah the final piece of the puzzle.” She gave a roaring laugh and the rabbit chuckled, “Fell for the old bait and switch. Clock On!” A giant clockface appeared above the rabbit and he stood bringing out a grey gear from his pocket, “Adieu Princess Char.” He hopped through the clock and was soon gone.

Once the rabbit had left, Princess Char turned to her two assistants and grinned pulling out three gears resembling the one the rabbit had been carrying. “Even without the last gear we can still wreck havoc on the time stream.” Darkness over took the gears making them sharper than they were originally. “I bestow the Corruption Gear to you, Cameron. That gear the rabbit holds shifts to the holder’s dreams. Using that gear you will become his obstacle.” The man with gears and bolts surrounding him nodded taking the dark gear into his body. The gears around him soon gaining the faces of previous times: the emblem for Heartcatch let out a shine. “Destroy the Pretty Cure timeline...as for you...Watsuki, I bestow the Gear of Death. Use this to create our footsoldiers. We must not let that rabbit have his way.” Char waved a hand crafting a clockwork portal, “Now go forth you two.” Without a word the two men entered the portal leaving Char by herself. She held the final gear close to her with a determined look.
