Chapter 1 (Part 2)“Hey, Yui,” Takamina walked over to her dear friend. “Look at this.”
She handed Yui a pamphlet talking about a special showing of a new Art exhibit in the Tokyo Art Museum.
“Apparently, they found these extremely rare gems and are showing them off today.”
“That’s amazing~” Yui said with a smile. “Are you going to go?”
“Nah, too busy.”
“Hmm...” Yui continued to look at it with a curiosity. “I think I may go.”
“Hee~ I didn’t know you had an interest in gemstones before.”
“I don’t know. I just feel like it’d be interesting. Intuition, I guess, y’know?”
Takamina chuckled. “Yeah.”
----------------------------
“My Lord...” A figure dressed in black armor walked over to a throne, kneeling down in front of a larger figure, similarly clad in black. He looked like a king or overlord.
“Yes, Lapis?”“We found them. The Prism Gems.”
The Lord smirked, an evil smile.
“Perfect.”----------------------------
Yui got off the bus and stood in front of the large art museum. She had never seen so many people gathered for such an event, and she wondered, just how special and rare these gems could be to attract such a crowd.
She paid for her pass inside and stepped into the large doorway. It was almost like she had stepped into another world.
Her eyes gleamed at the sight of the beautiful paintings that were hung on the wall and the sculptures that had stood proudly. She stared in awe, seeing such detailed artworks that seem otherworldly.
“This is amazing...” she said in awe.
“Excuse me,” a voice called. “Do you know where they’ll be showing the rare gems?”
“Uh, no. I think they’ll announce it.”
“I see… Well, I came here alone, so how bout I hang with you?”
“Okay. I’m Yokoyama Yui. You?”
“Yamamoto Sayaka.”
“Sayaka...” Yui then noticed something strapped to the girl’s back. “Is that a guitar?”
“Oh yea. I always carry ‘er with me.”
“You’re a performer.”
“If you count street performing,” she laughed.
“Kyaa! It’s Matsui Jurina!” a girl screamed.
Yui and Sayanee looked. Everyone in the museum stared in awe as Jurina walked into the building, smiling and waving at her fans.
“Who’s that?”
“I’ve heard of her, Matsui Jurina,” Sayanee said.
“Really?”
“Yeah. At 9 years old, she was cast as the lead to a drama way back when. That was her debut into the entertainment world. Then, when she was 11, she joined an idol group in Tokyo. But, due to certain circumstances, she left the group at 15 and moved back to Sakae. But since then, she’s come back and forth from Nagoya and Tokyo, working as a model and aspiring actress.”
“Sugoi~”
“They called her a super idol. With a title like that, it’s no wonder she’s so popular.”
As Jurina came in, she took out a small pamphlet she had received from someone.
“Mr. Manager, I’m gonna check this out for a bit. Will you make some time in my schedule?”
“Uh, sure. But, will you be okay by yourself, Matsui-san?”
“Ufufu, don’t worry, I’m almost 18. I’ll be okay. Later~” she waved goodbye and went to a crowd of fans.
Mako, who had just entered, happened to notice and smiled.
“Oh my gosh!”
She quickly fixed her outfit and went over to the crowd.
“Uwaa~ Jurina looks so pretty today~” a fan said to her.
“Thanx! Oh, you’re so cute~”
“Um...” Mako walked up to Jurina. “Jurina..-san.”
“Oh, just Jurina is fine.”
She smiled widely. “Jyaa, Jurina! Can I have your autograph?”
“Of course!”
She took out her notebook and let her sign in, but then someone ran into her from behind and she fell on top of her.
“AAAAH!!!” She quickly got up, blushing. “I’m so sorry!”
“Oops...” The two looked and saw Haruppi, rubbing her butt. “Sorry. I kinda got dragged in.”
Yui and Sayaka happened to see the situation and walked over.
“You three okay?”
“Yeah...”
Then, something happened…
“Huh..?”
“That’s strange...”
“These four...”
“Something about them...”
“Makes me feel...”
“Weird.”At that moment…
DING DONG DANG DONG!“Attention, everyone who is planning to view the reveal of the new rare gems, please report to the Eastern Wing at this moment.”As the majority of the crowd started leaving, the five continued to stare at each other.
Then, Jurina giggled.
“Well, this seem interesting, ufufu...” she said. “Since we’re all here, let’s watch the unveiling thing together.”
Mako smiled. “Guess that’s okay.”
“I got nothing else to do,” Haruppi said.
“Alright then! Let’s go~”
“Eh? Wait, Jurina-sa.. ah! I mean, Jurina!”
“This’ll be fun~”
As the three started leaving, only Sayaka and Yui were left. The two looked at each other.
“Looks like we have no choice,” Sayaka chuckled.
Yui did the same. “Un. Let’s go.”
---------------------------------------
Somewhere in the museum, a figure snuck in and entered one of the rooms. Inside, there was a case holding many glowing gems.
“There they are...” the figure said in amazement.
She walked towards them, admiring their how they shined from the light reflected off them. She opened up the glass case carefully.
“Even if I can’t use their power...” she said, “I’ll still protect them.”
She took the crystals one by one and placed them into a bag she had with her. She carefully placed every one inside, making sure none would shatter and break.
Then, she realized something…
“Wait… some are missing..!”
She then heard an evil laugh echo.
“Lose something, Oshima?”
Yuko glared at a figure sitting on top of a platform.
“Lapis...” she growled angrily.
“Looking for these, I presume,” he said, holding up a few of the gems. With a snap of his fingers, they all turned black.
“No!”
“Geodites, come forward!”
The black gems took physical forms and turned into strange monsters.
Yuko took out her necklace with a white crystal and held it tight in her hand. She closed her eyes and chanted a few words, but when she opened her palm, nothing happened.
“No, this can’t happen..!” She held her crystal harder. “Come on! Work!”
The monsters were closer, so Yuko had no choice but to run. She took the last five necklaces and ran out of the room as the monsters charged for her.
She looked at the gems in her hand. No matter what she’d do, they weren’t working. They were just regular gemstones.
She groaned. “Fine! I don’t care if they work. I just got to get out of here!”
As Yuko ran out into the Eastern Wing, she accidentally tackled into someone, making them both fall to the ground.
“Oh, sorry. You okay?”
Yuko looked up and saw Yui and the others.
“Oh no, I need to get these five out of here before…”
“Hey, you alright, miss?” Haruppi and Mako helped her up.
“Listen you five, I don’t have time for chit-chat, I need to go, and you should come with me--”
“Woah, woah, I’m not taking orders from some weird chibi.”
“Hey, I’m not a chibi! I’m just 152 cm tall, y’know!”
“That makes you a chibi~”
Yuko pouted. “How old are you, kid?”
“Hey, I am NOT a kid!” Jurina said annoyed, but then she flipped her hair and smiled. “I’m almost a blooming 18.”
“Well, you should respect those older than you. I’m 25.”
“Eh~? So you’re a chibi AND a baba. Who knew?”
“OI!”
Then Yuko realized what she was doing.
Returning to the main subject, she urgently told the girls, “Wait, I don’t have time for this! We need to go now!”
“Why?” Sayaka asked.
“This place and everyone in it are in danger!”
“Danger? Danger from what?”
Before they could say anything, all the power suddenly went out.
“What the--?!”
“What happened?”
That was when Yuko noticed something. She thought she was imagining things, but the gems in her bag definitely were beginning to give a faint glow.
“What..?”“Guys, I think we should get out of here,” Yui said.
“You think?!”
The six found the lobby again and saw many people had collapsed on the ground.
“Oh God...”
“Are they all..?” Before Jurina could finish her sentence, Mako and Haruka immediately covered their ears going “LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA!!!!!”
Yui and Sayaka ran up to the entrance doors and tried to open them, but to no avail. They were all shut tight as if glued in place.
“What’s going on…?”
“Hey, wait...” Yuko examined one of the people who had collapsed and saw that they were fast asleep. “They’re just sleeping...”
“Oh thank God...” Mako held her head and sighed.
“If we can’t get out, then… what do we do..?”
Yuko gripped her fists. She knew she had to get the gems out of here, but with her pendant not working, she was powerless.
“I’ll be putting these five in danger if I keep them here any longer...”
Just then, there was a large crash. The group looked and saw strange monsters approaching them.
“W-w-what is that?!”
The monsters all had different forms, but they were all black and had strange gems on multiple parts of their bodies.
“KYAAAA!!!”
“What on Earth is going on?!”
Yuko watched as the group started backing away from the group of monsters. One of them happened to eye them and slowly approached them.
“No..!”“What do we do..?”
With that, Yuko made the biggest decision that will change everything.
“The five of you must fight!” she said.
The five girls looked at her in disbelief.
“Fight?!”
“Against that thing?! No way!”
“You have to. Take these,” she handed the five girls necklaces with different colored gemstones. “Use these to transform!”
“Transform?!”
“How?”
“Just hold them up and say ‘Gem, energize’!”
Sayaka looked at Yui. “Should we..?”
Yui looked at the necklace, staring at the red gem as it shined in her hands.
“Let’s just try it for now...” She stood up, gripping her necklace.
The others looked at each other, then they all agreed and stood up with her.
“Let’s go!” Yui yelled as they all held the necklaces up.
“Gem, energize!”
That next moment, the gemstones shined a bright light, enveloping their bodies.
The monsters roared from the brightness of the light. From a distance, a young man in similar black attire as Lapis saw the scene unravel and cover his eyes.
“What the hell..?”
Yuko stared in awe as the girls were covered in bright colored auras of the gems.
“Now say, ‘Summon, armor’!”
“Summon, armor!”
The next second, the girls were dressed in strange clothing. They looked like outfits similar to what mages in medieval times wore, and at the same time, there was also padding on their shoulders, chest, arms, and legs that resembled armor. They looked like something out of an anime, and each had a colored streak in their hair to match the gemstones. The pendants dangled on their chests, shining brightly.
“No way!”
Sayanee reached up and felt the armor that now covers her body. “We transformed?!”
Mako looked at her outfit, surprised by what just happened. “Holy cow! How is this possible?!”
“I don’t know, but… this looks so cool~” Haruppi exclaimed. “We look like superheroes!”
“It’s not superheroes,” Yuko corrected. “You are now Prism Knights.”
“Prism Knights..?”
On the other hand, the man was not pleased to see this.
“Grr! Oshima you fool! You dare give the gems to those puny humans!? Hand them over!”
But Yuko replied, “I’m afraid that can’t be done, Topaz. Once the gems choose a host, they become part of them. Those Prism Gems belong to these five now!”
“Prism Gems..?”
“These?”
“Wait, who is that?”
“Fine. Geodites, attack!” the man called Topaz commanded as the monsters all charged forward.
“Wh-what do we do?!”
“Hold out your hands and say, ‘Energy, release’!”
As the monsters came forward, Yui stepped up before anyone and held her hands out in front of her.
“Energy, release!”
Once she said that, a red aura shot out of her hands and shot brightly in front of the monsters. It was so strong, the monsters retreated to their gems.
Yuko stared in awe at the sight.
“I never thought she could master that so easily… she IS powerful.”As it calmed down, Yui looked at her hands.
“Woah...”
“Sugoi~” Haruppi’s eyes sparkled. “How did you do that?”
“I… I don’t know.”
Topaz gritted his teeth. “Damn… Fine, I’ll just get rid of you myself!” he said before shooting a beam of dark energy towards the girls.
However a small smirk was seen on Yuko’s face. She ran in front of the group and held her hands out.
“Release!” she said before a barrier surrounded them and protected them from the blast.
“Eh?!”
“She can use magic?”
“I think it’s time we took our leave,” she said to the girls.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
But her question came unanswered when Yuko now held out her own pendant.
“Work this time...”She clenched it in her hands and whispered a few words. The next moment, a bright light surrounded the group. It flashed and caused Topaz to go blind for a moment.
Much to Topaz’s frustration, when his vision cleared, Yuko and the girls have vanished from sight.
“Tch! Curses! That Oshima really has some nerve…”
Lapis walked over to him and took the black gems in his hand.
“A minor setback… but next time, we shall defeat them.”
Topaz just gripped his fists. “Fine...”
Then, the two teleported out of the room.
-----------------------------------
Now as for where Yuko and the five girls had disappeared to, it just so happens that in the last minute, the thing Yuko used was a teleportation spell that came and grabbed the girls and pulled them at Mach speed through what felt like a roller coaster.
In seconds, the five girls were screaming as they were taken to who knows where at lightning speed as thousands of colored lights surrounded them.
“What’s going oooon!?!”
Finally at last they were arrived in a completely other place.
They ended up landing on solid ground, all of them now back to their normal forms and without the armor.
“Ow…”
Jurina however was the only one who laughed and said in excitement, “Wow! That was fun!”
“Fun?” Sayanee repeated thinking that the girl from Nagoya is crazy.
“Um...where are we?”
“I’ll explain things, girls, so please stay calm,” Yuko said.
“Yuko!” But, before she could say anything, a girl ran up and approached the woman. “What happened? Did you get the Gems?”
“Yeah, I got 'em, Kana. But so did Lapis. He turned some of them into Black Gems before I could get a hold of them.”
“God, that guy is annoying!”
“Don’t worry, though. I got most of them before they were corrupted.”
“Good...” Kana then saw the group of girls, looking at the pair with wide eyes. Kana screamed and dragged Yuko to the other side of the room. “Yuko, who are they?! Why did you bring them here?!”
“Ah yeah about that...well you’re looking at the new Prism Knights,” she said sheepishly.
“Huh?! How? You gave them the gems?”
“I was sidetracked by Topaz. I had no choice, and besides…” she looked over at Yui, who held the red Gem. “They have been proven worthy by the Gems themselves.”
“Hello?” Sayanee called out to gain the two older girls’ attention, “We’re still here you know?”
The five are still left clueless and out of the loop
“After what just happened, I guess we can safely assume that you two know exactly what’s going on here?” said Yui, “What exactly were those monsters? What is the meaning behind these gems? And who exactly are you two?”
Yuko sighed. “Please, calm down. We’ll answer all of your questions.”
Yui gave a serious look. “Please do.”
