PRECURE EDITION: THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN

I was up for some Yukakira Precure crossover filk right now... something like the All Stars films. And a Yorktown filk set in this crossover 'verse with my favourite Cures in the leading cast... So I said to myself, why not?

THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN

The battle of Clovertown, 
2017...

CURE SCARLET:
Precure Chocolat?
CURE CHOCOLAT:
Precure Scarlet!
CURE SCARLET:
In command where you belong?
CURE CHOCOLAT:
As I say, no sweat. 
We're finally on the field, we've had quite a run...
CURE SCARLET:
We red Cures!
CURE CHOCOLAT:
We get the job done!
So what happens if we win?
CURE SCARLET:
I return to my land,
and give freedom to my people with an open hand...
CURE CHOCOLAT:
We'll be with you when you do...
CURE SCARLET:
Go, lead your men!
CURE CHOCOLAT:
See you on the other side!
CURE SCARLET:
Till we meet again!

PRECURE BACK FOR THE FINALE BYSTANDERS (LIKE, NOBLE ACADEMY STUDENTS):
I am not throwing away my shot!
I am not throwing away my shot!
Hey, I am just like for fighting, I'm young, and all wrongs righting!
I am not throwing away my shot!
CURE CHOCOLAT:
Till the world turns upside-down...
PRECURE BACK FOR THE FINALE BYSTANDERS:
The world turned upside-down...

CURE CHOCOLAT:
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory...
This is where it gets me; on my feet, the enemy ahead of me...
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me;
weapon in my hand, a command, they will bend with me!
Then I remember my li'l sister's expecting me...
Not only that... my Yukari's expecting me!
We gotta go, gotta get the job done!
Gonna start a new era, gonna meet my loved ones!
Take wand, instrument, or gun! 
BACK FOR THE FINALE BYSTANDERS:
What?!
CURE CHOCOLAT:
Wand, instrument, or gun!
We move under cover and we move as one!
Through the fog, we have one shot to live another day;
we cannot let one stray shot give us away!
We will fight up close, seize the moment, and hold it tight!
It's either that or have enemy blades pierce all through you right!
The codeword's "otokoyaku!"
BACK FOR THE FINALE BYSTANDERS:
Otokoyaku!
CURE CHOCOLAT:
You have your orders now; make it through!
And so, this new crossover experiments begins,
with my friends all scattered to the winds...
Ellen's in the Major Land, redefining self-expression...
CURE BEAT:
We'll never be free until we end oppression!!
CURE CHOCOLAT:
When we finally drive the foemen away,
Cure Scarlet is waiting...
CURE SCARLET:
Back from the HK!
CURE CHOCOLAT:
How did we know that this plan would work?
We had someone on the inside... yeah, that's right!
CURE GELATO:
AOI TA-TE-GAMI!!
A rockstar spying on these cadre goverments,
I entertain them, glean information, and then I smuggle it
UP!!
To my fellows' revolutionary covenant,
I'm running with the Pretty Cures and I'm loving it!
See, that what happens when you're up against the ruffians...
We're all f-ed up, and somebody's gotta shovel it!
Aoi Tategami; I need no introduction!
When you knock me down, I get fricking back up again!!!

PRECURES, BACK FOR THE FINALE CAST, CADRES
Left! Right!
Hold!
Left! Right!
Hold!
What!? What!? What!?

CURE CHOCOLAT:
After a week of fighting, a young man in a horned hood stands on a parapet...
CURE SCARLET:
We lower our weapons as he frantically waves a white handkerchief...
CURE GELATO: 
And, just like that, it's over. We tend to our wounded, we count our dead...
CURE BEAT:
Yousei and humans alike wonder if this really means freedom...
MARIE-ANGE:
Not. Yet.
CURE CHOCOLAT:
We negotiate the terms of surrender...
I see Marie-Ange smile...
We escort their men out of Clovertown;
they stagger home single file...
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets,
there are screams and church bells ringing!
And, as our fallen foes retreat,
I hear the drinking song they're singing...

EVERYONE:
The world turned upside-down...
The world turned upside-down...
The world turned upside-down...
Down...
Down, down, down...

CURE SCARLET:
Freedom for our Earth and all Magical Lands!

EVERYONE:
Down, down, down...

CURE CHOCOLAT:
Gonna start a new era, gonna meet my loved ones!

EVERYONE:
Down, down, down...

CURE GELATO:
WE WON!!!

CURE BEAT:
We won!!

CURE CHOCOLAT:
We won!!

ALL PRECURES FEATURED + MARIE-ANGE:
WE WON!!

EVERYONE:
The world turned upside-...
DOWN!!!


And right, now I explain the cast... maybe this becomes a full-blown filk opera (surely only on Act One), CHOCOLAT: A PRECURE MUSICAL, whose opening song will be titled: "Not Sailor Uranus-san..." Imagine Akira in her muggle self singing: "Not Sailor Uranus-san, my name is not Sailor Uranus-san..." So of course she has to get Alex's lines... "How does a kind bifauxnen, expy of the first one in the genre, dropped into the middle of the latest spot of a decade-long series in which her kind was lacking, grow up to be a leader for attacking?"
Yukari would be a composite of Eliza and Burr. Which would allow for more angles to look at my OTP. So the next song... "Oneesama?" begins with Akira entering Ichigozaka (2016 Ichigozaka) and our intro to the rest of the cast unfurls. Lile Yukari and Akira having this exchange:
"Pardon me, are you Oneesama?"
"That depends, Ser. Who's asking?"
"Oh... well, sure, Miss.
I'm Akira Kenjo, right? I'm at your service, Miss...
I have been looking for you...
[···]
You're an orphan... of course I am an orphan!
I wish there was a war...!
Then, we would prove that we're both more than anyone bargained for..."
[···]
"Yo yo yo yo yo!
What time is it?
SHOWTIME!!!"
"Showtime! Showtime!!"
"Ellen Kurokawa in the right place for sure;
three pints of Sixth Ranger, but I'm working on four! Ah!
Those cadres don't want it with me,
'cuz I will pop them like popcorn pops until I'm free!"
"Oui oui, mon amie, Hope Daylight je m'appelle;
the Clever Princess of this set, you can tell!
I came from afar just to say bonsoir,
and tell the King 'casse-toi!' Who's the best?
C'est moi!"
"RAARGH RAARGH!! I'm AOI TATEGAMI!!
Up in it, lovin' it, heard of someone say COME AT ME??!!
[···]
Lock up your fanboys and horses, of course it's;
hard to have intercourse over those constraining corsets!!"
And then of course we would meet the models in Stella's agency ("Take Mrs. Stella, she sure is loaded..."); only Kirara is her biological daughter, but there were things I had to change... and of course Rinrin Akeboshi makes the perfect Peggy!
*Smirk smirk*
"Kirara's here!!"
*Smirk smirk*
"Yukari!"
*Smirk smirk*
"And Rinrin..."
Mephisto would of course be George III and have these impressive filks of my entire fave song in the musical, just because they're britpop sung like 90s show tunes with a British accent...

Returning to our filk... did anyone else catch Kuroro's cameo at the end? I just imagined the white-flag redcoat as Kuroro, as simple as that.
As for the other Cures I chose to play the revolutionaries... let's say I just thought that my fave Cures, all of them more or less Aces and made of badassium, fit the personalities and roles of the other male leads. Which makes, if the whole opera should be a thing, my heart ache a little for offing Ellen; I mean, I identify myself with her (as I do with the other revolutionary Cures in this AU)... and also, (both the historical and scenic) Jack Laurens is one of those sacrificial lions I mourn the most just because of the attachment invested in them... maybe I leave Ellen for dead and then have her return from the battlefield in the sequel filling some other slot? Or will there ever be a sequel, since I find the battles of the first act far more exciting than the second one's focus on statescraft and laws...?
