Precure All Stars New Stage

Part 10: Fusion's True Friend.

All the PreCure groups and Ayumi were getting closer and closer to the tower. They hadn't fought any Fusion fragments for a while which was starting to make Night suspicious.

"Day," Night got her attention as well as Muse's and Beat's. "You know that we haven't fought any Fusions in a while?"

"Yeah, thank goodness," Day told her.

"No, that's not it," Night replied. "I think Fusion is planning a surprise attack on us." Day, Beat and Muse gasped at her accusation.

"Ayumi-chan, we're almost there," Happy told her from in front of her, Ayumi running behind her. "Keep at-" She wasn't able to finish her sentence because at that moment, a Fusion fragment came up in front of her and attempted to swallow her. At the last second, Ayumi pushed her out of the way and got swallowed up instead. The fragment turned into a tower pushing upwards. Everyone surrounded it, unsure of what to do. "Ayumi-chan! Ayumi-chan!"

'I thought I was alone,' Ayumi thought to herself as she was slowly being eaten away by the Fusion fragment. 'I thought no one knew how I felt. But I was wrong.' Outside, every group launched themselves at the fragment, but they were all pushed back by it. 'I wasn't alone,' Ayumi told herself as she slowly opened her eyes. 'And I could get my feelings across if I actually spoke them. For sure! Fu-chan, I want you to know how I really feel. I will get it across to you!' All the Cures got up, looking at the tower in front of them. 'I want to go to Fu-chan!' To the surprise of all the Cures on the outside, at the very top of the fragment, a bright, white light started seeping out of it, causing the flow to the top to get clogged.

"Wh-what?" Sunshine questioned no one in particular as everyone started getting up. The top got bigger and bigger as more and more of the Fusion fragment got backed up.

"That's..." Berry trailed off. The Fusion fragment then started disintegrating as the white light inside of it overpowered it.

"The darkness is disappearing," Melody whispered, not wanting to ruin the moment of awe. All of the Cures were looking up at the light, eyes wide with awe.

"Ayumi-chan," Happy whispered, worried for her friend. The light then shrunk and then dispersed. Floating in the air, there was Ayumi, but she was totally different. Her hair was still in pigtails, but was longer and blonde. Her outfit was now a medley of all the others'. When she opened her eyes, they were gold instead of brown.

"Deliver my feelings!" Ayumi called out, bringing her hands together as if she was praying. "Cure Echo!"

"Cure Echo?!" Happy said happily.

"Ayumi-chan became a PreCure?!" Melody asked no one in particular.

"Cure Echo, desu?" Chypre and Coffret asked no one in particular at the same time.

"Oh, so she was PreCure, nyan," Hummy said.

"No, she wasn't, nuts," Nuts told Hummy. "She just became a brand new one, nuts."

"It's the birth of a new PreCure!" Forever said as he and Candy jumped up and down while Chiffon and Potpourri danced in the air behind them. As Echo slowly floated down to the ground, everyone ran over to her. The ones directly in front of her were, from her left to the right, Black, Day, Peach, Melody, Happy, Blossom, Dream, and Bright.

"Why did I become a PreCure?" Echo asked the others as she looked at her hands. She could feel the power flowing throughout her body.

"It's because you have a heart just like ours," Black told her as she held out her hand, palm down.

"A heart that is passionate," Bright added as she put her hand on top of Black's.

"A heart that is kind," Day continued as she placed her hand on top of Bright's.
