"Thank you for having us!" Gina and Ako bowed to Ayako's parents.

"No worries, it's nice to have you here." They bowed back.

"Gina, Ako, welcome to my home." Ayako smiled as she stood beside her parents.

"Thank you so much for inviting us." Gina smiled in return.

"No problem."

"We have brought gifts for you as thanks for your hospitality."

"You needn't have bothered, but thank you anyway."

"It's all alright."

"Please follow me to my room and I will bring snacks and tea once you're both settled in."

"Thank you, Ayako."

After doing just that, Ayako placed the box she found that day and opened the lid to show Gina and Ako what was inside.

"It has four gears, what of it?" Ako asked.

"The gears all appeared after fighting with the Chuuya and when I asked Chain about them, they refused to explain anything." Ayako explained.

"That's because I wanted to wait until all three of you were together." Chain spoke, appearing from under Ayako's bed.

"Why were you under my bed?" Ayako asked the fairy.

"That doesn't matter now." She frowned. "We have to talk about the matter of your mission as Precure."

"What is that exactly?" asked Gina.

"Get comfortable and let me explain." Chain stated as the girls did so. "We will begin this talk in a faraway kingdom not accessible to humans . . ."

After the explanation told to them through a story, the girls sat in silence to ponder what had been said.

-

"How can they be formed already?!"

"I'll head back to earth."

"You needn't bother."

"What? Why?"

"I have already sent someone else."

"Who?"

-

"Why are we in town?" Ako asked.

"I need to get a few things for a personal project." Ayako waved her hand in the air.

"Was there a reason why you brought us?"

"I need help carrying the stuff."

"Are we your slaves?!"

"Come on, Ako. At least try to put up with this and besides, this may only be a one time thing."

"Fine, I'll deal with it I guess."

"Thank you."

"You two coming or what!"

"Coming!"

"What did we get ourselves into?"

After shopping, the trio grabbed something to eat on their way back to Ayako's place. Getting what they wanted and paying, Ayko found some misplaced gears and placed them into her pocket before Ako and Gina could find out what it was.

"What did you put into your pocket?" Gina questioned.

"Just some change I dropped." Ayako smiled. "Nothing to worry about."

"If you say so." She raised an eyebrow as they continued walking.

"Girls." Chain whispered urgently.

"What is it, Chain?" Ayako asked.

"Chuuya." said Chain, face changing.

"Where is it?" Gina inquired.

"Lead the way." Ako outstretched her arm.

With Chain turning this way and that to find the Chuuya, they came to a halt when they found it and the girls stared inquisitively at the person who created it.

"You're not Dan."

"That's right."

"Who are you?"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Doori."

"Let's go girls."

Precure! Wind my gears!

Clicking the pen and drawing on air, Ayako got a high waisted layered skirt and a long sleeve shirt that went around below her shoulders. Placing her feet into a circle gave her mid knee boots and stockings.

Long ponytails were made in her hair mid back length garnet hair with the change to more of the rose tint. A top hat on a hair band soon followed and the pen made room in a bag which manifested from it.

Clicking the pen and drawing on air, Gina got a bodice-like dress and an asymmetrical skirt that ended at her feet as it wrapped around the midthigh skirt of the dress with a bow placed at her stomach. She drew a square with her feet and as it glowed, she was given high heeled ankle boots and leggings.

A long ponytail was made in her short deep orange hair with the change to more of the lighter tint of the colour, which also gave her a fringe. A watch at the starting point of the ponytail soon followed and the pen made room in a bag which manifested from it.

Clicking the pen and drawing on air, Ako got a dress with a strap wrapped around the left shoulder and the skirt of the dress that ended midthigh and fabric that was split at the belly that wrapped around her. She drew a diamond with her feet and as it glowed, she was given heeled knee-high boots and thigh high fishnets.

A long ponytail was made with her deep purple hair with the change to more of the lighter tint of the colour, which went to her right. A gear was at the start of the ponytail and bat wings manifested on her back which was soon followed the pen making room in a bag manifested from it.

"May these wings help me to fly in the light of love. Cure Butterfly!"

"The clock that forever winds forwards and backwards. Cure Watch!"

"May these wings guide me through the darkness and into the light of day. Cure Bat!"

"As the lights gather, may the past and future come together. Steampunk Precure!"

"Get them. Chuuya!" she commanded.

"Chuu . . . Chuuya."

Dodging left and right with openings for punches and kicks, the trio spent a crazy amount of time trying to back it into a corner and finally got it into that corner.

"Go Butterfly!" Watch called to her with the girl nodding in return.

"May my wings save you poor soul. Precure! Butterfly Tornado!"

The Chuuya was gone and Doori bowed to the girls before leaving. Returning back to their regular states, Ayako took out the gears in her pocket and they zipped away when Gina and Ako got a look at them.

"Is that what I think it was?"

"Yep, more gears."

"I wonder what they will make when we have everything together."

"That will be a day, I'm sure."
