Mew Amai

Episode 3 Part 2

Amai was speechless. 

Her very first kiss was stolen by her enemy. Her enemy, who to her, was actually very cute and handsome. A blush painted her cheeks. Why did he... my heart's banging so hard.

Her head was swimming, her heart was pounding. It didn't help that Pudding was cheering about how she'd never witnessed a real kiss before in the background.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Kisshu asked before he perked up. "Or was my kiss that good?" Amai gasped when his finger pressed against her lips. "Want another?"

She sputtered. "I..." Shaking her head, the flustered Mew took a few steps back. "W-wait!" 

Kisshu jumped up onto the pillar he was on before. "You're embarrassed? Boy, you are fun."

"Stop teasing me!" Grinning, he held up a hand. "I wonder how you'll look when I make you cry or angry?" From the palms of his hands, balls of light appeared and became little jelly-like creatures. Amai recognized them from her first fight. "Aliens?!"

"I'm done with my introduction. Now, it's time for the show!" The jellies spread out and turned multiple animals into Chimeras. Amai was stunned, Pudding held onto her arm in excitement and wonder. As they became surrounded by a giant lion, giraffe, and elephant, the younger girl got scooped up into the elephant's trunk. 

"Pudding!" The younger was more happy than afraid. "Whee! This is more intense than an amusement park ride!"

"Oh, no!" Amai wanted to transform but was afraid of another secret being discovered by Pudding. Kisshu watched her from his place on the pillar. "She's just standing there." He jumped down, kicking his leg and making her trip onto her stomach. She groaned when she hit the ground. Kisshu walked around her. 

"What a disappointment." Crouching, he held her chin as she started to sit up. "Here I'd thought I'd found a cute little toy to play with. But you're boring me." With his other hand, he raised a small, sharp dagger. "So it's time for you to die."

Amai felt tears grow, yet she refused to let them fall. Her gaze narrowed to mask her fear. "Look at you. You're not that much fun." He moved the dagger closer to her face. She squeezed her eyes shut. No, this can't be how I die!

"Ribbon Mint Echo!"

Kisshu jumped out of the way before the arrow hit him. Amai looked up and was relieved to see Ichigo, Retasu and Mint jump in front of her. "Are you okay, Amai-san?!" Retasu asked, keeping her gaze on the Chimera Animals. 

Mint gripped her weapon. "You really got into trouble this time, haven't you?" 

"You're not hurt, Amai-chan?" Ichigo worried. Amai smiled. "Guys!"

Her face fell a little confused. "Wait, Ichigo was already here, but what are you two doing here?" Masha floated up to her. "Shirogane sent them!" 

"He did?" 

Mint looked at her. "Not important right now! Transform!"

Amai did, and the four Mews gathered together.

"The four of us..." Retasu started. 

"...with gratitude and grace..." Mint continued. 

"...together..." Ichigo added. 

"...will serve out justice!" Amai finished, the four of them posing.

From her upside-down position in the elephant's trunk, Pudding sparkled again. "Y-you're so cool!" Kisshu was also impressed. "Huh. Now things are getting more interesting."

The Mews all attacked. Every hit turned animals back to normal. When Amai hit the elephant, Pudding flew up into the air. Amai caught her in the nick of time. "There's no end to them!"
