Heh, I really hoped to get at least some attention. Oh well, maybe another chapter will change that. Let's go part 2!

What she expected, she wasn't sure. But it was definitely not a star-shaped portal to appear under her so she could fall into it. She yelped, but there wasn't much else she could get out of her mouth. She fell into it backwards, so she could perfectly see how the blue star became smaller and smaller as she fell deeper and deeper into a pit of red light.

A warmth feeling in her legs pulled her attention though. She looked at her feet to see red transparent boxes appearing around her legs. Her skin inside those boxes suddenly changed. They expanded. It didn't hurt though, but it felt more like shoes appearing around her feet. If that made any sense.

When the boxes were done, they moved up to her legs. The same thing happened again, but now she could clearly feel clothing around her legs, unlike before.

The boxes moved up and up, merging when they came to her torso and splitting again when the reached her arms. When they were done with her hands, they finally got off her body and she sighed in relief.

Only for a box to appear around her head.

She could only gasp as her hair become longer and longer, until they were pulled back by a box, which made a nice high ponytail. She also felt something like a bow on her head. She wondered what it was and how it looked like.

A weight was suddenly added on a waist on what she felt like a belt. That wasn't the only thing that suddenly appeared under her belt though. Some kind of soft fabric appeared around her waist like a skirt.

She didn't have the time to see what it was though as she suddenly landed in a bubble. It popped under her weight and she fell to the ground.

"Ow…"

Groaning, she got up. She felt…different. Not only did she feel like she was wearing different clothes, but there was also a nice warmth in her chest. She decided to look at herself and hope for the best.

From what she could see, it was…not too bad actually. Her skin hadn't changed, but she could see she was wearing boots that reached to her tights and a transparent skirt. Said skirt was attached to a glimmering golden belt with five red stars. Underneath it she was wearing shorts and she could feel she was wearing a tank top too. She looked at her arms to see gloves that reached her upper arms. When she felt her hair, she noticed it was curlier and tied to what felt like a bow. She was happy her outfit was her favorite color: red. But it also contained pink, what she was less happy about. The weight she had felt earlier turned out to be her Controller, only it had turned white.

"Wow…" She said as she looked at herself. "I have to say, it could have been worse."

"Come on Cure Power! Tell the monster who you are! Make a small motivation speech! Like in Sailor Moon! Just make sure you end with: Player select: Cure Power." Chara said.

"Do I have to?"

"Yes!"

Nora gulped. She wasn't good in making speeches. It helped it only had to be a short speech, but still. What should she talk about? Hmm, perhaps about hope? And she was Cure Power. Maybe she could do something with that too.

"Um, okay then. Is this alright?"

As if it were her everyday routine, she suddenly started to swing heroically her arms and body around.

"Power protects hope and destroys despair! Player select: Cure Power!"

She ended in a pose, what she soon realized.

"Wait, why am I posing?"

Her fairy giggled. "That's the power of the Pretty Cure."

Right at that moment, the force field shattered. Chara screamed a high-pitched scream and flew away. Cure Power jumped away in a reflex. However, she landed further than she though.

"Could I always jump so far, or is it just this magic power?"

She didn't have time to answer though, as the Bottle Demon blasted another stream of water at her. This time she was ready though and jumped up to avoid it. To her surprise, she jumped up way higher than she normally could. She would probably be able to jump up onto small houses.

"Jup, definitely magic."

Not knowing what else to do, she continued to dodge the demon's blasts. She was getting pretty tired off it though and wondered what she was supposed to do. Perhaps she had to fight it. But what if she hurt it?

"You have to fight it! Don't worry, the human captured won't know or feel anything!"

She had to remember to ask the fairy later if she could read her mind.

She jumped away from another blast, but this time she sprinted forwards the moment she landed. She drew her fist back and punched the monster's leg, half expecting for nothing to happen. However, the power of that punch not only produced a small shockwave, it brought the demon out of balance. It landed on its side after failing to regain his balance. Cure Power looked at her still curled up fist.

"Wow…"

She had little time to admire her newfound power though, as the demon quickly got up and shot another blast of water at her. This time she couldn't jump away that easily. The blast sent her straight in a tree. She groaned as her back collided with the wood. Luckily she was able to see the second blast and ducked in time.

Using the opening to get closer to him, she threw another punch at his leg. This time, though, the demon was able to keep its balance and Power jumped away to avoid the leg of the demon.

"Don't just punch him in his legs! Punch him somewhere else! You can jump high enough!"

True. She could jump farther and higher than normal. And punch harder than usual.

"Alright…"

Hoping for the best, Power stormed at her foe, dodging every blast shot at her. When she saw the chance, she jumped up. Her jump reached to the demon's face. She drew her fist back and punched him in his nose. The demon screamed and took a step backwards.

Power felt a lot more confident that she was making progress and used the opportunity to land and jump again, this time kicking it in his stomach. She could hear Chara cheering for her. Grinning, she kicked the leg of her foe again. She was surprised it went so easy. The demon stumbled backwards until it landed on his back.

"Okay, its down! All you need to do is climb up to his chest and destroy the phone embedded in its chest."

Power stopped questioned everything that was happening around her and jumped on his body. She ran forward until she came to his chest. There, right in the center, was a black cellphone-like object embedded in the plastic. She ran towards it and lifted her boot. With one mighty stomp, she crushed the black object.

"You did it!" Chara cheered.

Power grinned, but then noticed she was panting. It was probably the effect of running and jumping so much. However, that didn't take away the fact that she was blooming with excitement.

However, her victory was cut short when the monster suddenly started to expand. Before Power could jump off of it, it exploded into tiny bits, which immediately disappeared. As she fell down, she noticed a small ball of white light before her. Without thinking, she reached for it and grabbed it.

She was so absorbed by the strange object that she failed to notice the ground in time. She landed harshly on her face and groaned. It wasn't long before she felt Chara fluffy paws on her back.

"Cure Power! Are you all right? Did you grab the soul?"

"I'm all right. I don't know about the soul, but I do have this white ball…"

Chara smiled brightly and took the little ball from her hand. "That is the soul! Don't worry; take your time to get up. I'll place it inside the human. If we're lucky, it shouldn't be too tainted yet."

The fairy checked the shining object. When she saw a speck of black, she frowned and gave it a kiss. The black spot immediately disappeared. Power got up to see the fairy flying over to the boy, who was lying unconscious at her feet. Chara placed the orb on his chest and then pushed it in. She then flew away and hit behind Power.

"Why are you hiding?"

"It's strictly forbidden for a fairy to be seen by a human that is not a Pretty Cure."

Power opened her mouth to say something, but a moan cut her off. She looked over to see the guy waking up. He drowsy looked around, wondering where he was. He slowly tried to get up, but stopped when he saw Cure Power.

"Oh my god he is looking at me what do I do?!" Power started to panic once she realized he was looking at her in awe. She got a nudge in her back as response.

"Well, you talk to him." Chara responded.

"What do I say?"

"Tell him everything's all right and advice him not to play Soul Absorption. Or no games at all."

She wondered what Soul Absorption was, but she could ask her friend later. She took a deep breath, cleared her mind and turned to the guy.

"Hey, don't worry, you'll be all right, right?"

To her surprise, talking went easier than she thought. The guy nodded, seemingly understanding even with the language border. What now? Oh right, advice.

"Um, you should stop playing Soul Absorption. It's a bad game. Playing any game is a bit of a waste, right? Why not try to do something else instead? Sport, for example. You will meet a lot of new people and it's also good for your condition."

The guy nodded again and gave her a quick thank-you before getting up and running away, looking flustered.

"That went horrible." Power sighed, but her fairy disagreed.

"Nah, you just need more confidence in yourself!"

Power smiled a little, but it was a forced smile. No way that she could learn to have more confidence.

"All right…now, how do I take this costume off?"

"Umm…I forgot."

While the fairy and the Cure were fiddling around, trying to find out how to deactivate the costume, a figure was watching them from a distance. He grinned at the new threat before him.

"Well, well, well. A new Cure has arisen. How fun. I wonder how she will fare in a real game."

He turned around as the wind caught in his black lab coat.

"I hope she will find her partner soon. After all…the more the merrier…"

"Mom, dad, I'm home!"

Nora said as she opened the door to their flat. Her father was there in the living room to greet her.

"Welcome home sweetheart. Your mother is out to explore a bit more. I see you went out running. Did you have fun?"

Nora nodded as she walked to her room. "Yeah, but now I feel tired. I'm in my room."

Before her father could respond, she had already opened the door. The moment she closed it, she let out a big sigh. Chara flew out of the bag around her waist.

"You have a nice room. Oh, what a lot of stuff!"

Despite her tiredness, Nora couldn't help but smile. "Thanks. I collect souvenirs."

She slumped onto her bed, barely being able to feel her legs. She took the Controller out of her pocket and took a look at it.

Transforming back had been a pain. Apparently, Chara only knew that a transformation would be undone if a Cure died. They had spent thirty minutes messing with the Controller to get the transformation undone. Luckily, they found out that holding the star-shaped button undid the transformation immediately. And they also found something else.

Power got more and more frustrated as she continued to press the buttons in no peculiar order.

"Don't get angry; you'll only make things worse!" Chara had said and Power had it dismissed.

"There has to be a way to undo this! I can't walk around like this, what would my parents think? What would everyone here think?"

"They'll think that you're the coolest person around and you'll get very popular!" Chara had tried to cheer her up, but it failed.

"That is exactly what I want to avoid. I hate talking to strangers. I already dislike being awed at by strangers because of my skin tone. I don't want to be popular. I. Just. Want. To be. Left. Alone!"

In her rage, she had pressed the up-button twice. Suddenly, the Controller glowed.

"It works! It works!" She had cheered, while Chara just stared at her, looking troubled. However, Power didn't notice her.

But instead of giving Power her own cloths back, the Controller changed shape. It became longer and rounded until it was like a handle. Then, a long blade shot out of the top. Power had dropped it immediately, but seemed curious.

"This thing can become a sword?" she had asked her fairy, who nodded.

"Yeah, that is the Sword of Power. You can use it in battle to be stronger. It also unlocks your special attack. But Story said that you need to learn how to use it first."

"That sounds amazing. But who is Story?"

"Story is my brother. He is looking for the other Pretty Cure."

"Other…Pretty Cure?"

Chara had then explained that since the beginning, Pretty Cures had never been alone. They always had a partner to fight crime with. While it wasn't uncommon to have four or five Cures, the fairies decided it was better to work in duos. So, when Chara got assigned to become her fairy, her brother got assigned too to find the other Pretty Cure, who she would end up working with.

It felt like her whole world broke down. She had just been a little used to fighting demons. No, scratch that. She couldn't even process the thought to fight demons alone, let alone fighting with someone else.

Chara told her that fairies and bad guys were attracted to Japan, because of the old magic there. However, Japan was a big country. The chance was big her 'partner' lived on the other side of Japan. This gave her time to figure things out on her own.

"This…is not the last time something like this is going happen, isn't it?" Nora suddenly asked her fairy.

"No, as long as the game Soul Absorption exist, people will get hacked by demons. But don't worry, as long as you're there, the people will be safe."

Nora sighed deeply. "I hope so."

And this is the conclusion of the first episode! I'm really happy how this turned out. And yes, I know that Nora has't used her special 'Pretty Cure attack' yet, but it will come with time.

Next time: We cut to another place as a young girl is suddenly faced with a demonic creature. Luckily, a fairy is there to help. Wait, what do you mean I need to fight it? Stay tuned for the next episode: Birthing Life!
