As the Terribad made from the police officer caused havoc in the Potsdamer Platz, the blue light on the top of it's head flashed and he swung his Billy Club around, smashing into a parked car. Currently locked in a battle with one of the Pretty Cures of the Intenational Corps, it took a step forward as the blonde and orange figure rushed at it.
As Cure Rhine slammed her fists into the Terribad, it stumbled backwards, landing on a knee as it let out a screaming siren from it as the Pretty Cure rushed in, eager to bring it to a halt and stop it. Another punch, and it was down, ready for her to unleash her purifying attack.
"Refresher Reinigung!" she called out, and the Terribad was engulfed in a glowing light. "....Refreshing...." it moaned, before disappearing from existance, and the meter maid that was held in the coffin-shaped mirror was released.
"You're safe now." the Pretty Cure offered, helping the meter maid to her feet. "I'm gld I could help, yah?"
And then from above the pair, the sound of a pair of clapping hands. Standing on top of the arch, a figure in white with a red shield looked down at them. "That was... passable." he announces, before drawing his sword and leaping downwards, looking to strike at the Pretty Cure.
The blonde girl shoved the police officer out of the way as the strike hit the ground, and amethyst crystals started to erupt from the ground as the new combatant struck. "Laufen! Schnell!" she yelled at the girl, bringing around her armored fists to strike out. "And who are you?!" she demanded.
As his sword came around to defend the strikes - he then uses his free hand to catch one of the fists in his hand. "I'm the one that is going to end you. You shall soon join your comrades in eternal rest."
Her eyes went wide. There were rumors about a Pretty Cure Hunter - a figure that stalked Pretty Cures, captured them, and stripped away their powers, but she had thought it was a story like Baba Yaga, or the Boogeyman. Something told to new Pretty Cures to remind them to be on their guard, to always work together. She was alone now. And he was here.
The battle raged throughout the plaza. The Pretty Cure could have been told she fought valiantly. She could have been commended for the effort she put forth in the face of an overwhelming threat. She even once managed to knock the Hunter back a couple of times. But as she continued to unleash powerful attack after powerful attack, she realized she was running out of energy and time - and she knew she needed to do something desperate.
Despite the fact that she had done very little damage from what she could tell, she gathered all of her energy into one last push. "Panzer... SHOT!" The blonde Pretty Cure known as Cure Rhine launched herself towards the figure standing the middle of the field, expelling her most powerul finisher attack, sure that this time, this time she would push through his defenses and land the blow that could turn the tide of battle her way.
As the Pretty Cure slammed into the shield of the Pretty Cure Hunter, he grunted. "You have power. But what you lack is skill. All head on attacks. No strategy." came his critique of the girl as he shoved her back. "Maybe if you had that, you would have a chance. Not that you're going to get one."
Drawing his blade from his back, he lets out a blast of red energy tinged with dark energy. As it hits the Pretty Cure, she screams as she feels the electricity wash over her, and for a moment, her outfit is broken and she falls to the ground, the magic that surrounds her covering her as she tries to recover. Given time, she would have had a chance. If she could retreat.
He doesn't give her the chance, as he lifts his bracer arm. Red tendrils launched outwards, wrapping around the Pretty Cure's wrists and ankles, holding her in place.
"Vas ist los?!" she yelped in a panic as she realized she was held, unable to fight back.
"This, Cure Rhine, is my invitation to you to enjoy a slumber." closing his left hand, he calls out. "ETERNAL GAUGE!" Red electricity rushes at the Pretty Cure, slamming into her. She screams for a second, and suddenly, she disappears. When she reappears, she is trapped within a coffin-shaped mirror, her arms crossed over her chest, red ribbons holding her in place.
"Another Pretty Cure to present to Queen Mirage." Phantom commented as he moved to scoop up the small mirror compact off the ground. "You won't be needing this anymore." he tells the slumbering Pretty Cure, as he collects her to deliver to the Graveyard as he recieves a text.
You have been away too long. Return to Tokyo. - QM.
Glancing at the message, Phatom smiled slightly. At least she noticed he was missing, he decided, as he collected his prizes and teleported back to Headquarters, singing as he went along.
"In that chest, light will never reach again... Sleep forever on the other side of the mirror..."
