[Video] Canon Update

[fightbymoonlight]

The video opens on a battle in progress, starring three very familiar girls fighting against a powerful enemy. It's Dark Precure versus the three Kibogahana Precure... and our heroes are on the losing side. Dark Precure is effortlessly wiping the floor with Cure Blossom and Marine, who have just used their Shining Fortissimo attack. They're blasted back, now unconscious.

A worried Cure Sunshine quickly runs over to where they land, holding on to her teammates. Meanwhile Dark Precure takes out her Dark Tact, ready for her next attack. But before she can do that, something strange happens.

In a flash, tiny lights appear, covering every visible tree. There must be hundreds of them, if not more.

"What is this?" Dark Precure and Cure Sunshine look around, both equally confused. "The lights of the Heart Tree?" Dark Precure flinches, as gusts of wind appear. The wind centers around one spot in particular, covering it, before bursting apart with a shining purple light. This reveals...

Yuri, in a glowing white dress, holding the Heart Pot.

She turns to look at Cure Sunshine and smiles gently at her.

"Hah...!" Cure Sunshine grins widely.

"You...! " Dark Precure glares at Yuri. "Don't tell me..."

"Courage... love... friendship... kindness... sorrow... joy..." Yuri turns around and holds up the Heart Pot. "All these feelings... Everyone's hearts..." She looks up at Dark Precure, her eyes narrowed. "I will fight for them!" She holds up her broken Precure Seed. "For everyone's hearts!"

"Precure... Open my heart!"

Pressing her Precure Seed into the Heart Pot, Yuri transforms in a bright purple glow. When the light fades, it's no longer Yuri that's standing there, but...

"The flower that glistens in the light of the moon,"

YAY! [All the spazzing.] I'm so glad you got your powers back!

[fightbymoonlight]

As am I. [It hasn't been that long since the battle and Yuri's hanging out at the Heart Tree, still transformed.] It's strange, feeling like this once more. I thought I never would again.

[pikapikapikarin]

It's a wonderful feeling isn't it? Being able to do something like this once again.

[fightbymoonlight]

Yes. It's been so long since I've really been able to protect others. I had almost forgotten how it felt.

I... missed it.

[pikapikapikarin]

It's a heady feeling, but one with a good responsibility. People taught me that.

[fightbymoonlight]

Very true. It's... what made me love being a Precure, when I first started out. Even though I was going at it alone, the fact that I was responsible for everyone, that I could help so many people... It made the painful parts worth it.

...funny how things can get so clouded over time.

[pikapikapikarin]

I'm sure someone ELSE would be happy to know you're empowered once more.

[fightbymoonlight]

...you're going to have to be more specific. [Oh, she knows perfectly well who Yayoi's talking about.]

[pikapikapikarin]

Tall, handsome, prone to getting punched in the face...

[fightbymoonlight]

Oh, yes, now I remember. Though I'm not sure where you got the handsome part from. [She sure is becoming a troll. It helps that she's still riding high from the fight, so she doesn't feel like blushing so much.]

Do you think he'll be happy to hear that I can now kick his ass even more easily?

[pikapikapikarin]

I'm sure he would enjoy a girlfriend who can easily take care of herself.

[In the Atori, Kaitou sneezes.]

[fightbymoonlight]

[She pauses at the 'girlfriend' part, because oh god hearing someone say it is weird. She hasn't even referred to herself as his girlfriend yet.]

That's always been the case. I'm just better at it now.

[pikapikapikarin]

Hehehe well I'm sure he'll appreciate it more.

[Appreciate getting hit more or just more smiling Yuri?]

[fightbymoonlight]

Let's hope so. Either way, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. [Can't have one without the other. It's a package deal.]

I have to say, though, I'm... surprised that this is the only part of the day the community decided to broadcast.

[pikapikapikarin]

Hopefully yeah. It should be a good thing.

It was still a very cool moment to be all honest!

[fightbymoonlight]

It certainly better be.

Ah... Thank you, I guess? [Geez Yayoi, quit embarrassing her.] But yes, I suppose it was certainly the most flashy part of everything that happened. Still, usually the community isn't quite so gracious when it comes to my privacy.

[pikapikapikarin]

Maybe the community wants to show off the coolest parts of it?

[fightbymoonlight]

In that case, I must wonder why it skipped my fight with Dark Precure. Or even my fight with the Desert Generals.

Perhaps it decided to limit itself to the most important part... [Ha! 'The community'. 'Limit itself'. Yeah, right.]

[pikapikapikarin]

Maybe it's easier to show bits and pieces instead of whole fights? Even so, it was still awesome.

Maybe?

[fightbymoonlight]

Possibly. These are all theories, though and ones we will never get an answer to for that matter. [The answer is lazy muns. That's always the answer.]

In any case, I appreciate that this was all it showed. My fight with Dark Precure was long and at moments confusing. Having it here would have been pointless.

As for after... Well, I think the community has seen enough of my... moments by now. [She means her crying, but that's hard to just admit.]

[pikapikapikarin]

This is true. There's a lot that was skipped in my world too.

I hope you stopped her from hurting everyone too and yeah I agree, it gets weird sometimes.

[fightbymoonlight]

Getting this place to make sense is a lost cause, I think.

I... did my best, in any case. Sadly, she got away. At least I managed to save Blossom, Marine and Sunshine, but I still wish I could have ended it then.

[pikapikapikarin]

What's the old saying? Should have, could have, would have? It wouldn't make any difference if you pushed yourself too hard. People would have been sad if you hurt yourself.

[fightbymoonlight]

True enough. Still, it's not like there would have been much pushing.

...I had her, you know. I was this close.

[pikapikapikarin]

That's true.

You had her? What stopped you? The boss-level bad guy?
