One bright morning, Shauna and Bianca were walking to school. It was very quiet as they arrived at the school grounds. Shauna looked around.

"Where is everyone? School starts in half an hour." Bianca looked over at the side and tapped Shauna's shoulder. She turned and saw Pink, Purple, and Z waving at them. She waved back and the whole group went inside.

At lunch...

Shauna sat down with her friends. The lunchroom was louder than usual.

"Why is it so loud?" Pink grumbled. She had her head down.

"Are you ok, Pink?" Shauna asked. Pink glanced up at her. Her cheeks were red.

"I'm not feeling well. My head's been throbbing all day." She then put her head down again. There was a crash from across the room. Purple snarled a bit.

"Ok, out of the way, trans-psychopath." The big bully of the school yelled. There was a chuckle. The group looked at the fight.

"How about... no." The person grinned. "Besides, Kevin... you're trying this one alone. Don't get cocky." Kevin chuckled.

"You're the cocky one." He then threw a punch, in which the person slammed into the table. Kevin winced. The person put something in front of his face.

"Kevin, do remember that I'm in the Children's Guard. I, Mac, will be back." Mac then walked away. A loud applause erupted from the crowd as Kevin stormed away. Mac walked over to their table. "Can I sit here?" Shauna's heart fluttered.

Mac was part of the Saxe family, who was full of superheroes. Mac was the only transgendered person in the school, but that didn't stop them from getting into the top of some of the lists in the school. Shauna gulped.

"Of course." Mac smiled and sat down with their stuff. Purple grimaced.

"I could've helped." He mumbled. Mac chuckled.

"If it was more than just Kevin then maybe." Purple smirked.

"Whatever." Shauna blinked before asking.

"Wait Purple, are you in the Children's Guard as well?" He nodded.

"I just don't like talking about it." She nodded.

After school...

Shauna and Mac were walking to Mac's house due to a project. When they got inside, there was a voice calling out to them.

"Mac?" Mac grinned.

"Hi mom. I have someone over to work on a project." They called back quietly.

"Ok." The two then walked up to Mac's room. The two were able to finish in an hour.

"Wow... all done..." Shauna sighed. Mac chuckled.

"If you want, I can walk you home." Shauna paused. She wanted to say that she could handle herself, but she remembered that Mac was part of the Children's Guard.

"Sure." Mac smiled before they went. The house was in view when they heard a voice.

"Oh, look. Two pathetic weaklings." The two turned to see a woman standing there. Shauna felt Sylvie's ball rattle, indicating that Cure Sylveon was needed. Mac got in front of her.

"I got this. Go!" Shauna bit her lip before running towards the house. She went to the backyard and pulled out her phone and Sylvie's ball. Pink and Bianca were on their way. She lifted Sylvie's ball into the air.

"PRECURE ON!"
***
A bright light surrounded her. Inside the light was a pink background. Sylvie appeared next to her. Shauna clapped her hands and feet together, which made armbands and shoes appear. She did a quick spin to make the rest of her outfit. Her hair grew out and changed colors. Ears and a tail appeared on their own. A pink knitting needle popped up. She grabbed it and twirled it before landing on the ground.

"Fairy of the Ribbon! Cure Sylveon!"
***
She turned and ran towards the fight. Mac was slumped against a pole. Sylveon snarled. A large monster had appeared. Mew and Cinccino appeared on either side of her. The three raced at the monster while the poke-cures ran over to Mac. Mac was whispering a small healing spell. They looked up and saw the 5 creatures.

"Who?" They paused as they saw the cures fighting the monster back. Their eyes widened. "I have to get in there!" Sylvie's ribbons grabbed Mac's arm and pulled.

"No! It's too dangerous!"

"But-" A small giggled stopped them.

"No, no. Sylvie, you should let them try. If they want to help the others, they should be allowed." The poke-cures gasped as a familiar creature came out of the shadows.

"Amaura!" The little creature smiled.

"Yep." It turned to Mac, who had gone quiet. "You want to help the cures, right?" They nodded. It smiled. "All you need to say is 'PRECURE ON!'" Mac nodded. They kneeled down and touched Amaura's head.

"PRECURE ON!"
***
A bright light surrounded Mac. Inside the light was a light blue background. Several lights surrounded Mac, changing their clothes and hair. A long, wooden staff appeared beside them. Mac gripped it calmly before settling down with Amaura next to them.

"The Rainbow of the Soft Snow! Cure Aurorus!"
***
Aurorus looked down at themself before turning to the battle. They pointed their staff at the sky before calling out.

"BLIZZARD!"

A large twister of ice and snow surrounded the monster. Sylveon blinked before calling her ending move.

"FAIRY WIND!"

"Pretty..." The woman snarled.

"I'll be back..." She then vanished. The other three cures went over to Aurorus. Sylveon nodded before deforming. The others followed. Mac opened their eyes and stiffened.

"Shauna... I told you to get out of there... Pink... Bianca... what are you guys..." Shauna smiled softly as they explained.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well... at least I know that I don't have to say anything about it." Mac sighed. Shauna grinned. She turned to Sylvie.

"How many more?" They all paused. Amaura smiled.

"Technically speaking, 9. There are three more of the original group and then Noivila's 2. Balamena has hers to wait for." They all grinned. Shauna looked at the sky.

"Almost there, everyone! Let's keep going!"
