Mysterious Person's POV

Today... I will make love die! How can Ira experience it? It doesn't make sense...

"The light of wisdom! Cure Diamond!"

Cure Diamond... along with the other Cures.... will be erased forever from this pathetic world...

Mana's POV

"RIKKA!!!" I called out to my best friend.

I was in front of Rikka's door, with Regina beside me.

"So Ira actually does like Rikka, huh?" said Regina.

"I think so! He seemed like he did last night when I saw him after getting Dad's groceries" I explained.

"Well, I think they'd be perfect for one another!" announced Regina.

"Me too!" I said with a smile.

Then the door opened. Rikka and Ira were there.

"Sorry Mana! But I'm curious.." said Rikka.

"Waddya mean?" I asked

"Not to be rude or anything, why'd you invite Ira?"

"Yeah why did you invite me?" Ira asked.

"Do I have to repeat it again? Ira, we're friends, remember?"

"Oh, I didn't think that you were serious" he said.

"Mana is serious about friendship" said Regina.

"When did this happen?" asked Rikka.

"Last night, I noticed Ira and I decided to have a chat with him" I explained.

Ira nodded.

"Thanks for understanding Mana! You too Regina!" Rikka said

"No problem" Regina and I said with a smile.

"So where are we going exactly?" Ira asked.

"To Joe-san's shop, he's not here but we are still allowed to meet there" I explained

"Makoto, Alice and Aguri will be there?" Rikka asked.

"Mhmm!" I said with a smile.

"Wait, what!!?? The other Cures will be there" Ira asked, shocked.

"Don't worry! You'll be fine!" I said, grabbing his hand and we took off.

"I'm glad that Mana understands" said Rikka

"I agree! Ira hasn't experienced kindness before. I should know" said Regina.

Mysterious Person POV

I teleported to the first place I could think of and I ended up in front of a souvenir shop.

Just then, I saw C. Heart with Ira beside her heading towards the shop.

I bet Ira and the Cures are "Best Buddies" now... Well, not for long...

I smiled wickedly as I pulled out a Jikochuu Agent's signature secret weapon... A selfish heart.

Then I flew above the shop, and waited.

Rikka's POV

We entered the shop to see Alice, Aguri, and Makoto sitting on the couches.

I could tell that Aguri and Makoto were surprised to see Ira, but Alice smiled.

"M-Mana? Can I talk to you for a sec?" asked Makoto.

"Ok Makopi!" Said Mana.

Makoto's POV

We went to a different room.

"Mana? Can I ask why Ira is here?" I asked

"Makopi, I thought we believed in him" said Mana.

"I guess your right... but it still feels kinda... weird seeing him near us.."

"Well, we just have to trust him! After all, friends do trust eachother, right?"

"I believe so" I concluded with a smile.

Rikka's POV

Makoto and Mana came back. Aguri looked disappointed but she wasn't mad.

Then I heard a voice in my head..

Come and fight me Diamond...

Fight?

There's no point in loving Ira... he's still a Jikochuu agent.... he will turn on you....

No! You're wrong! He wouldn't!

Oh but I am right! It's true! You can't trust him....

I will!!! Leave me alone!

Come outside... and prove it...

Then the voice left.

"Rikka?" asked Aguri.

"Yes!?" I jolted.

"Are you all right? You were mumbling to yourself.."

"Oh sorry! I was thinking about something...."

I thought hard about the voice. Then I knew my choice..

"Um.. I'll be right back" I said

"Ok Rikka" said Mana.

I left the shop. I turned to see if anyone was there. I looked left and right.... but I didn't look up..

Then I heard a wicked laugh. A laugh that I cannot mistaken... for Mamon

"Very clever, Diamond. Good for you" She said as she floated down to me.

"What do you want?" I asked, sternly

"What do you think? You!" She said, pointing at me.

"Wh-what?"

"Maybe it'll be easier to understand... IF I SHOW YOU!!!!"

At that moment, she shot a beam at me, which trapped me in a cage made out of Egogy

I tried to force myself out. But I didnt succeed.

"Good night, Diamond..." said Mamon.

Then I felt drained. As if my energy drained from my body. I heard Raquel moan in pain. As did I

And then.... everything went black...

Ira's POV

I had a weird feeling... as if someone... was calling my name...?

Love is disgraceful...
A voice said softly so that only I can hear it.

Do you really want to suffer with love..? Or continue destroying it..?

Huh..? Suffer? Could suffer mean by all the times my heart ached?

Yes Ira... now come...

I can't! Rikka is-

The choice is yours Ira... come outside...

Come outside?

I had a really bad feeling about this... but I knew my choice.

"I'll be right back.." I said, as I teleported outside.

I arrived in front of the shop... then I heard a sneer and a laugh.

"Come at me Mamon... I'm right here!" I called.

"Clever Ira, very clever" she sneered

"Whaddya want now?"

"Why, I just want to take you back to where you belong!" She replied sincerely.

"Where I belong, isn't in the Jikochuu realm!"

"That's what you think! Let's see what your friend thinks..."

Then I saw Rikka in her Cure form.... pinned to the ground by Bel (who regained his true form).

"LET HER GO BEL!!!"

I lunged toward him and shot a beam. Of course he blocked it. Then he shot a beam at me.

"Ira... go back..." Rikka whispered.

"NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!!!"

Then I shot another beam at Bel. This time he shot one too, much more powerful then mine.

It hit me and I fell backwards. I yelled in pain, but I didn't give up, I continued to fight, but I ended up hurting myself in the end

Then the other Cures came.

"DIAMOND!!!" Yelled Makoto.

"Girls? Let's go?"

The girls agreed

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

***Pretend the Jikochuu wasn't there

"Ah! More visitors! Welcome Precures!" Mamon declared.

"BE QUIET!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH RIKKA!!??" yelled C. Sword.

Bel laughed

"Never mind what we've done to her, mind what we are about to DO TO HER!!!"

Then Bel shot a beam at C. Diamond.

"RIKKA!!!!!!!!" I yelled, attempting to get up but failed.

The pain was back. More painful then ever before. I cried hard, and my tears never stopped.

"Well, it was nice knowing C. Diamond. She was too blue"

Then I couldn't believe what Mamon did next. She shot a beam at Rikka..... and I don't even want to explain what happened next.

I cried even harder. I was petrified. I was scared. And I was weak.

Rikka... couldn't have been gone... she couldn't.

The other Cures were as devastated as I was.

"RIKKA!! NOOOOOO!!!" yelled C. Heart as she ran to her friend.

But Bel stopped her

"No point in trying to call for her. She won't answer" sneered Bel.

"YOUR WRONG!!!" Said C. Sword, as she charged to Bel and kicked him with all her might.

Bel felt the kick and collapsed to the ground.

"RIKKA ISNT DEAD!!! SHE CANT BE!!!" yelled C. Rosetta as she lunges towards Mamon and punched her, which caused Mamon to fall.

Regina and C. Ace combined attacks which sent Bel and Mamon deeper in the ground.

Meanwhile I was attempting to reach Rikka...
My heart ponded...my eyes were red from all the crying... but I continued to reach to my love.

I finally reached to her... I stared at her in disbelief... I checked her pulse then her heart... it stopped.

My eyes widened and stung from all the tears. My heart sank... my hands trembled...

Mamon and Bel were unconscious. The Cures were exhausted and they collapsed to the ground. And I was clutching my love close to my chest... hoping that she would heal my heart.

Then I heard footsteps.

"This is what love has done to you Ira" said Mamon, "it has made you weak"

"YOU'RE WRONG!!" I cried, hugging my love.

"Come Ira, that feeling will go away... let's go home..." said Mamon softly.

"NEVER!!!"

"Come on now! You'll regain your strength in our world"

"I'D RATHER DIE!!!"

"Ira listen-

"NO!!! I WONT LISTEN!!! I CANT LEAVE HER!! I CANT!!!"

"Ira-

"SHUT UP!!!"

"But-

"NO!!! STOP TALKING!!! IM NOT WEAK!!!"

"Your in pain though" she added.

I couldn't continue talking. At that moment, I
lost all my confidence...

Then I felt a dark feeling... in my heart...

I was slipping in the darkness... I tried to leave it but I couldn't...

I knew that if I continued to be in despair, then I'll slip in...

But I couldn't help it....

Then I stood up... and I have made my choice...

"I won't slip in the darkness... but I will return with you... only to think.." I concluded.

"As long as your coming back with me... then your wish is my command"

Then I collapsed to the ground and I felt Mamon arms holding me up...

Then the world around me... faded...
