Mirage attempts to attack the Cures but is stopped by Blue, who attempts to reason with her, only for his words to fall upon deaf ears, forcing the Cures to retreat when Mirage attempts to attack Megumi. As Megumi and Yuko decide to put together a party to celebrate their safe return, Iona takes Hime with her to shop for ingredients, with both girls initially finding it hard to get used to each other. When asked by Hime about what happened when she opened the Axia Box, Hime explains that she heard a saddened voice coming from the box which prompted her to open it, setting the Phantom Empire loose. As Iona feels guilty that she never bothered to hear Hime out before due to her grudge, Hosshiiwa attacks with a Mother Saiark. Iona initially gets the upper hand but is soon double teamed by a speedy Son Saiark. Luckily, Hime arrives to back Iona up, using their Macademia Hula Dance and Pine Arabian forms to defeat the Saiarks. After the battle, Iona gives her thanks to Hime and becomes closer friends with her before being officially welcomed to the HappinessCharge Pretty Cure.
