Echo Incursion 01 - Jurassic Gateway (August 10th, 2016)
It's a particularly hot day in the Gateway City zoo. What else could you expect? It's not like it's not to be expected, it is the middle of August, after all. But there's plenty of things to see here at the zoo, and the visitors' center is air conditioned well enough.
Just a normal summer day in a typical summer vacation spot. Right?
Well, that's when things change. Those in the visitor's center would find the building changing around them. There's suddenly a dinosaur skeleton in the middle of the place, with the banner "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" hanging from the ceiling.
That's not all. The animal enclosures are now different. What used to be a pen for the african elephants now has very large, very long necked reptiles in it. A gigantic, meat-eating dinosaur just tromped its way out of the lion habitat it's too much too large for, and unfortunately for the people around it, its vision is based on movement. The monkey house? Well, those are velociraptors breaking out of it. The aviary? Now filled with particular aggressive flying pterosaurs.
These are just some of the creatures making their sudden emergence, and it's not long until they spill out of the zoo and into the city proper. Dinosaurs are now walking the streets of Gateway City.
Yes, indeed. Just a normal summer day.

That brief, stunned exclamation is all she managed to get out. Twinkle may have been pretty quick and skilled for a rookie... but a rookie she is nonetheless! As such, she reacted a step too slow to avoid the laces grabbing her, lifting her off the ground and throwing her. Her path took her on a straight path, and she just managed a high pitched wail of sorts before slamming hard into a wall.
"Ow, ow, ow...." The dust took a few seconds to settle and when it did there was one dusty Precure in a rather unglamorous heap in a small crater, rubbing her head. She wasn't down for the count yet though, and after a sharp glare she quickly got her feet under her again. "Oh, you did not just try to kill me with your stupid-looking shoe monster!"
And just like that, she was off in a flash, rushing toward the Nakewameke with one fist cocked back to deliver a hell of a punch.
Nobody makes Cure Twinkle look like a chump!
no subject
"Coming from the girl with the ridiculously huge pigtails." Alexandra scoffed and stood back as Twinkle began to charge at her monster.
The Nakewameke on the other hand had been ordered to take care of Twinkle and it still had it's attention on her. It made a dash toward her and it was certainly not a loafer. The running shoe managed to match Twinkles pace and threw a punch of it's own to meet Twinkles'.
While the creature was fast it wasn't quite as strong as the Cure. Twinkle would likely find herself able to push it back, so long as she didn't get knocked back by one of it's flailing shoelaces.
no subject
"Oh, don't even get me started on whatever that is you're wearing!" This time she was ready for those shoelaces. She ducked as they lashed out, bobbing and weaving between them before springing forward again, kicking out to attempt to sweep one of those oversized legs out from under the ridiculous monster.
no subject
The monster may have been, fast but it was to big to get out of way when Twinkle was in so close. It took the kick and had it's leg swept out from under it. It stumbled forward and managed to catch itself on leg and both its hands. It would take it a second to collect itself and wouldn't be able to attack with it's arms. one of it's tendrils however, lashed out but not in Twinkle's direction. Instead, it wrapped itself around one of the dinosaurs that hadn't been cleared away and quickly hurled it at the Cure.
no subject
Even as the Nakewameke went down, she still remembered enough not to take her eyes off those whipping shoelaces, so she spotted the dinosaur when it was tossed toward her. ... And then she had an idea!
She skipped back a step or two and then slipped to the side, when the screeching reptile flew past her. A quick grab at its tail, a spin in place and she threw it right back the way it came from.
With any luck, the shoebeast should have a panicky dinosaur clawing at it any second now.
no subject
For the moment it's too distracted to outright attack Twinkle again, but arms and shoe laces are flailing about wildly as it tries to knock the monster off. She might have to look out for those or being stepped on in the immediate future.
Alexandra can only facepalm as her creature fumbles about, this is ridiculous.
no subject
Those giant arms and legs were something of a concern, but the panicked swings and stomps weren't all that difficult to avoid. Ducking under a whipping shoelace, jumping over an arm and then rolling forward, she managed to get herself under the Nakewameke.
She planted her hands on the ground and pushed upward as hard as she could, both feet extending to kick the brutish sneaker right in the sole! With any luck, there oughta be enough force there to send both dinosaur and Nakewa-whatsit flying up into the air!
no subject
Alexandra on the other hand isn't feeling quite as smug as she was a moment ago and has started to back away toward a nearby alleyway. If her monster was actually going to be defeated, it looked like a great escape route.
no subject
... She even gives it a little wink, before spinning to attempt to give it a little boost on its way back to Earth in the form of another kick. Hopefully right in the direction of that alley that Little Miss Sourpuss is eyeing down there.
no subject
Whether it gets a hold of her or not it's going to crash into the ground not too far off from where Alexandra's standing. Her annoyance is only going to grow seeing as her main mode of getting the heck out of here just got cut off.
no subject
"Hey!" She gives a sharp cry as she's suddenly yanked downward. She's right behind it as it goes crashing to the ground, although she at least manages to coordinate herself enough to land on her feet.
Thinking quickly, she reaches out and grabs onto the shoelace with both hands, pulling hard against it.
"Let go of me, you jerk!"
no subject
She narrowed her eyes at Twinkle, then began to approach the Cure from behind. While Twinkle had her attention on the show lace wrapped around her, Alexandra reached up to grab a handful of the Cure's hair and yank it back.
"You're really starting to annoy me, you know that?" Then Alexandra drove her knee into Cure Twinkle's back.
no subject
"Ow!" With her head pulled back, she glared at the white-haired girl and was about to fire back a retort when she took that hit full on in the back. She was definitely not expecting this girl to hit so hard, and it hurt like Hell. So, instead of a reply there was a sharp, pained gasp as the air was driven from her lungs and her grip on the shoelace faltered.
Two on one were really bad odds for her here....
no subject
A split second later, a blast of energy falls from her towards the silver-haired young woman, while her fist drives towards the Nakewameke.
No words, not yet. Focus on getting this girl back on her feet, first.
no subject
As the blast of energy comes her way she tries to grab a hold of Twinkle's shoulder and yank her in the path of the shot instead. The Nakewameke isn't quite as lucky and the punch lands, the force driving it back down onto it's knees. Twinkle will feel the shoelace start to come to loose after that.
no subject
Alexandra's attempt to try to get her to take the shot might have worked, if not for Moonlight hammering the Nakewameke with a punch and freeing her from its shoelace grip. As it is, she thrusts her arm back to try to give a good, stiff elbow to this jerk-off's gut before wrenching free of her grip and jumping into the air up and over the blast.
"Later, loser!"
no subject
"I don't know what the hell you're playing at," Moonlight growls, drawing her baton weapon in a flash from her brooch. "But this is more than enough! You've got one chance to stop this."
no subject
On shaky feet Alexandra attempts to get closer to her Nakewameke while it recovers from Moonlight's attack. If she's going to get out of this she's going to have be a bit more coordinated with her monster it seems.
"And what if I refuse?" She's just stalling to give herself and her monster a few more seconds to recover, but it's her best option at the moment.
no subject
She lands gracefully a short distance away on the other side of Villain Girl and her crazy monster. With the situation back under control that insufferable, devil-may-care, smile is back on her face.
"If you do that then you're totally going to get your butt kicked." ... There might be cameras around, so she's watching the language. Can't have a superhero throwing profanity around!
no subject
Okay, so even if she so rarely uses harsh language, Lily may be a bit less concerned about her language than Twinkle. There's something bothering her, clearly - a person capable of summoning a monster? That obviously seems pretty similar to Lily's memories of Yuri, although this definitely wasn't a Desertrian. Still...
"You could be costing people their lives by making us deal with your nonsense!"
no subject
It's about then that she catches sight of another group of people fleeing out of the corner of her eye. She smirked as an idea suddenly came to her mind.
"You don't know the half of it." She said in a rather smug tone, then she raised her arm and pointed toward the group of people.
"Nakewameke, attack!" And with the command, the Monster suddenly made a mad dash toward the civilians who were just trying to get away from some dinosaurs. If she was lucky, both the Cure's would move to stop it and give her another chance to escape. If she wasn't... well she'd just have to figure that out.
no subject
... She's not a hero. She's definitely anything but that... but something like this? There's just no way she can simply stand by and let this happen.
Without even thinking about it, as if on auto-pilot, she's off in hot pursuit of the monster. She can't let this happen, she's got to stop it but... how? She can punch it some more but that didn't seem like enough to really put the monster down for good. And then everything seems to slow down for a few steps, that urgency giving way to an odd hollow feeling... and then she knows what to do.
Her eyes narrow in determination and she leaps, adding an extra boost to her run and her Key and that perfume bottle are back in her hands.
"Exchange! Mode Elegant!" She slams the Key home into the bottle, turns it, and it fills up with a shining gold liquid. She twirls in midair as she passes over the Nakewamake's head, surrounded by a nimbus of light from the perfume. By the time she lands, directly between the creature and its would-be victims, the light bursts out from her, forming into...
... into a ballroom gown?!
no subject
Boots hit the ground, and her heels skid back along it as she brings herself to a stop. Just as... Cure Twinkle summons a big, poofy gown?! She has a moment of wondering what bizarre sort of power she must be summoning, but... her body's already driving on instinct. As such, she drives right up into the rampaging monster, aiming to deliver a punch to its middle section, hoping to either slow it down at the least, or launch it back the way she came at the most - right into this new girl's path.
"Cure Twinkle! Now!"
no subject
The Nakewameke on the other hand is continuing on with it's headlong charge when it's suddenly interrupted by Moonlight suddenly dashing at it and driving a fist right into it's middle. The blow isn't enough to knock it back but it's more than to slow it down to a stop for the moment. It'll swing an arm at Moonlight to try and knock her out of the way but it's completely unprepared for what ever Twinkle is planning to do in her new evening wear.
no subject
More important, is this dress! She doesn't know where the heck it came from, but she's kind of liking this whole superpowers thing more and more. It doesn't look like anything you'd want to wear to a fight but all the same, she can feel a sudden power rising inside her. Bright, and warm, and strong.
"Okay! Just leave it to me!" Moonlight gave her the opening, time to take advantage of it! Smile never faltering for an instant, she turns to the Nakewameke bringing her hands down around the star-shaped emblem in the center of the belt around her waist. "Shine, O' Stars!"
The emblem glows brilliantly and then flies up into the air, leaving a trail of stardust as it spins over her head.
"Precure!" One hand strikes out, catching a corner of the star and stopping it in place. "Twinkle Humming!"
And with a quick motion, she casts the oversized star toward the Nakewameke.
