Steampunk Precure

Halloween Surprises

While the class was having discussions about what the could do for the Halloween Festival the school holds, the class agreed they would host a cafe of sorts and Ayako was elected to take care of it all.

"What?" Ayako glanced at the class. "Why me?"

"You're the one who has changed the most this year and everyone has taken note of it," explained the teacher.

"Why can't someone else do it?" Ayako frowned.

"Sorry, Hagaruma." the teacher apologized. "This honor is only given to those who the class thinks changed the most, so stop complaining and accept it."

"Who are you?" Ayako quipped. "My mother?"

"I may as well be." the teacher retorted.

"Fine," Ayako sat back in her seat. "I'll do it."

"Thank you." The teacher stretched. "You may all go to regular lessons."

After finishing her homework, Ayako got to work on the class theme for the cafe and all that was needed for it to run.

"Hey, Ayako." Gina greeted. "Need any help?"

"That would be great, thanks." Ayako smiled.

-

"I'm bored."

"Tell us about it."

"Stand up, all of you."

"Your majesty."

"May I ask what you're doing here?"

"I want to head to Earth with one of you to see what those girls are like."

"Which one of us did you want to accompany you?"

"Dan."

"As you wish. Shall we head down now?"

"Indeed."

-

Waiting for the teacher to arrive, Ayako looked over everything so she had it in order so she could present it to the class.

"Hey, Ayako." Cora greeted. "What are you working on?"

"Hey, Cora, I'm am just looking over my things for the class cafe," Ayako replied.

"May we have a look at it?" Mirio inquired.

"You'll get a proper look at it when it's up on the screen," Ayako smirked.

"Aw, you're no fun," Mirio whined.

"Suck it up, Princess." Ayako held the laptop close.

"Take your seats, everyone." the teacher suggested and everyone did. "Are you ready to show us what you have planned for the class cafe, Hagaruma?"

"Indeed." Ayako smiled.

"Come up and show us then." the teacher gestured.

The week went by without issues as everything was set up for the school to celebrate Halloween and as Ayako was standing in the middle of the finished decorated classroom, Rose brought the girl out of her thoughts.

"Is something wrong?" Ayako asked.

"Are you ready to get this show on the road?" quizzed Rose.

"Absolutely." sighed Ayako.

"Let's get people in so they can have some fun." Rose pointed to the door.

"Right." Ayako agreed.

Just five minutes into helping the class do and take orders, Ayako felt a slight rumble from under her feet and wondered if it was a Daimu.

"Go," Cora whispered. "We'll take of things here."

"Thanks." Ayako returned the whisper.

"Where are you going Hagaruma?" The teacher questioned.

"I need to use the bathroom," Ayako lied. "I'll be back soon."

"Don't take too long."

"I won't."

Seeing Rust already fighting with Gina and Ako joining her on the field, a nod was shared between them.

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 hairband 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 color, 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 color, 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 backward. Cure Watch!"

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

Jumping straight into the fighting, the group of four made sure it was going to be a quick fight. Instead, they were knocked against trees and were on their knees.

"How weak can you four be?" Dan mocked. "I thought you were all better than that."

"We are." Butterfly stood on her feet. "Were just gaining our second wind."

"Yeah right." Dan snapped his fingers. "Daimu, get them."

"Daimu."

A beam of energy cut the Daimu off and everyone looked to where it had come from.

"You should know better than to treat our enemies this way, Dan." the woman said. "And I don't want to hear any buts."

"Of course, your majesty."Dan bowed.

"Your Majesty?!" the group exclaimed.

"I have seen enough of this." the queen waved her hand. "Finish the Daimu, Precure."

"Uh . . . okay." Butterfly shrugged.

"Precure! Change Ship!"

With their outfits changing to a creamy white with their colors as accents, the trio stood tall and looked ahead.

"Our synced light is to save you. Precure! Gear Change!"

De-transforming after everything was dealt with, the girls stood in confusion as to who it was that asked them to finish off one of their Daimu willingly.

"Do you know who that is, Fuyumi?" Ayako asked.

"I wish I had the slightest idea." Fuyumi sighed.
