Oyasumi Pretty Cure Z

Oyasumi Pretty Cure Z is another fanseries by MonoTheMonochrome. The main-theme is sleep and dreams, putting heavy emphasis on consciousness. It also has a stellar and sky sub-theme and a rather subtle, underlying theme-park motif, such as the Cures' attacks and the movie taking place at a huge theme-park.

It places emphasis on that you shouldn’t let the past hold you down. That you should go on and move towards a new tomorrow. It is unknown how many episodes this series will have, but it is planned to have 1 movie.

Plot
"The end of the dream, is the beginning of a new day."

The Palace of Sleep is a calm, heavenly place located somewhere in the sky, where the sleep and dreams of people are created, as well protected. Peace is constant and prominent, until three mysterious girls appear and force all the civilians of the Palace in a deep comatose, even one of the Palace's two warriors known as Cure Aurora finds herself trapped. Her partner, Sayo Asahi, also known as Cure Cloud, is the only one able to escape to the human-world to hide.

Completely unaware of the tragedy that had just occurred in a different world, Nemu Yozora continues her relaxing days as usual. Which mainly consist of her lounging in her own special place, which is actually an old caravan in the woods, reading some action manga or playing some cool video-games! But her lazy days come to a complete halt when she finds a sleeping, plush-like sheep inside. The sheep’s awakening lures three girls to their location and attack them. To protect the sheep as well herself, Nemu finds herself transforming into Cure Luna. From here on, Nemu’s life takes a whole different turn than she had ever imagined.

Pretty Cure
Nemu Yozora / Cure Luna

Voiced By: Asami Shimoda

Intro: 'Dreaming of the elegant night sky! A dreamer of courage, Cure Luna!'

Attacks: Luna Laser, Lunar Frisbee, Super Bumper, Rocket Shot, Voltare Cups, Dream Coaster

Theme Colors: Grey (& Pink)

Age 14. Energetic, adventurous and somewhat hot-blooded. Nemu never backs down from a challenge and always gives everything her 200%! She's brash and can rather impulsive sometimes, often landing her into trouble but, by the end of the day, she's a kind-hearted girl who loves the idea of fighting for justice and peace. Nemu is a little tomboy-ish and doesn't feel all that comfortable in dresses, but she still thinks they're pretty to look at. She lives with her grandmother, who she adores, and rarely seems to mention her parents. Nemu is naturally curious and while she does like exciting things, she doesn't want to worry her grandmother

Mayu Hoshizawa/ Cure Stella

Voiced By: Aya Uchida

Intro: 'Dreaming of the twinkling night sky! A dreamer of kindness, Cure Stella!'

Attacks: Comet Drop, Star Slide, Stardust Orbiter, Voltare Cups, Dream Coaster

Theme Color: Yellow

Aged 15. Is rarely called by her full name, Mayumi, and everyone knows her simply as Mayu. A confident and hard-working girl. While a little unapproachable at first glance, once you get to know her better, you'll be surprised how unpredictable and slightly eccentric she can be. Mayu is a fashionista who loves experimenting with different clothes and accessoires. While she has some selfish moments and loves being in the spotlights, Mayu always looks out for others and will never turn her back on people in need. Mayu is also part of the school choir and has an interest in astrology. She lives with her father and younger brother. A running gag is that she tends to label almost every guy she sees as her 'true love', only for it to end in heartbreak. Unlike Nemu, Mayu is already in possession of a Cure-Clock even before she becomes a Precure. Said Cure-Clock belonged to her own mother, which has Mayu become suspicious of her absent mother. Could she have been a Precure too?

Sayo Asahi / Cure Cloud

Voiced By: Rina Hidaka

Intro: 'Dreaming of the ever changing sky! A dreamer of trust, Cure Cloud!'

Attacks: Vento Ombra, Fog Enterprise, Rotor Tornado, Voltare Cups, Dream Coaster

Theme Color: Sky Blue

Aged 18. One of the Precure from the Palace of Sleep. Her true form is a white sheep with cloud-like wool. Sayo was the only one able to escape and is still deeply traumatized by the loss of her partner Asami, as well her home-world. A withdrawn and bashful girl who often tries to act more bold than she actually is, instead making her come off as incredibly awkward. She has trouble letting go of her past mistakes and tends to blame herself whenever something (either small or big, and either someone else's fault or her own) goes wrong. Despite being the oldest, Sayo may be the most childish and naive of the group, and is easily brought to tears. Sayo is also quite insecure, especially because of her failure and being a bad-luck magnet in general, so she has a strong desire to become stronger, but her soft-hearted personality often gets in the way of that. Like Mayu, she's also a hopeless romantic who loves romance stories.

Allies
Makura / Night Knight

Voiced By: Kenji Nojima

Intro: 'The Prince Charming who will protect your dreams! A dreamer of justice, Night Knight!'

Main Attacks: Daybreak Blade

Theme Color: Black & Purple

A character that will appear midway in the series and the closest thing to an actual mascot. While he has a human form, Makura is actually a living, magical, black and pink pillow with special powers. He's a guardian who protected the comatose Tsubasa and kept bad dreams from taking over Tsubasa’s body while Mara was sealed inside her. After the half-way point of the series, he joins the girls in their fight, becoming the warrior Night Knight. Makura is a cheerful and somewhat flamboyant young man who constantly tries to swoon every woman he sees and thinks of himself as a 'Prince Charming' but is actually just a huge dork with a little too much imagination. He's very friendly and polite towards elders and is quite popular with children, for some reason. Despite his seemingly silly and cheerful personality, Makura is a good listener and very accepting towards others.

Villains
The Sandman

A mysterious, hooded entity simply known as 'The Sandman'. He seems to be the 'boss' of the Night Terror Precure and provides them with special sand and powers to collect Nightmare Powder. Always speaks in a slow, deep voice and seems to be able to easily figure out someone's weakness, which he enjoys exploiting. He is seemingly stuck in a different dimension of some sort and thus only appears as some sort of hologram to talk to the Night Terror Precure about current developements once every few weeks.

- Nigh Terror Pretty Cure

Self-proclaimed Precure Warriors who serve as the antagonists of the story. They use special sand-like powder to make people fall asleep and trap them in an eternal nightmare to collect Nightmare Powder. But why are they doing this? Aren't Precure supposed to save people? And where do they come from anyway?

Yuka Ueshiba / Cure Toxic

Voiced By: Saori Hayami

Intro: 'A seed born from a clever heart, Cure Toxic!'

Main Attack: Acid Spray, Decay Dance

Theme-Color: Light Green

Aged 15. The leader of the trio and the one who takes their mission very serious. Well, she actually takes almost everything serious. Yuka is a mature, collected yet cold and reclusive girl, armed with a silver tongue and venomous words for each and every situation. She prefers to not get too close to people and hates being touched, and touching others. She cares a lot about her appearance and considers Mayu her rival in beauty. She's also a huge fan of detective-novels. Yuka always wears magical gloves due to her poison-touch, which came with her powers.

Homura Takeda / Cure Rage

Voiced By: Chika Anzai

Intro: 'From the unlimited and untaming power in my heart, I am Cure Rage!'

Main Attack: Smash Chain, Punching Punch

Theme-Color: Orange

Aged 16. The second member and brawns of the group. Homura sees no need in planning and strategies, and just wants to kick some butt. Though, despite her roughness, she's probably the nicest of the trio, as she's rather good-natured and always gives the Precure a fair chance. She thinks of Yuka and Chie as her family because she, unlike others, used to be a solo fighter. Homura loves drawing (and is surprisingly good at it) and always does it when she's troubled. She's also quite simple-minded and is very easy to manipulate. She's, more often than not, used as a human-shield by her teammates. Homura has a huge disgust for cowards and thus can get annoyed at Sayo's attitude.

Chie Hayase / Cure Warp

Voiced By: Yui Horie

Intro: 'From left to right, and right to left! The pixelated fighter of pace, Cure Warp!'

Main Attack: Polygon Warp, Power Glove

Theme-Color: Dark Blue

Aged 13. Before becoming a Precure, Chie was an average kid who was bored with her average life. Chie hates everything 'normal' and always looks for excitement in stuff. A big action and video-games fan, especially when stuff explodes, which gets her very excited. Chie is incredibly stubborn, loud and can be a little obnoxious sometimes. She may just be annoying for the sake of annoying people. Chie doesn't take many things serious and sees everything as an 'awesome' game, which causes her to get at odds with Yuka quite often. Can be quite devious despite her childlike innocence. Despite having similar likes and personalities with Nemu, the two can't stand each other and always butt heads over small things.

Yue Kara / Prima Crescent

Voiced By: Asami Shimoda

Intro: 'On the edge of midnight. I’m the bringer of the darkest night, Prima Crescent!'

Main Attacks: Discordia Notte, Brillante Incubo

Theme Color: Black & Pink

A villain introduced in the middle of the series, just after Makura joins the group, and could be considered an 'ally' to the Night Terror Precure. Yue is a girl who looks almost identical to Nemu. Which makes pretty much everyone (including herself) curious about her origins. Because of being constantly compared to Nemu, she soon grows to hate the other girl. Especially since Nemu starts to insist that they must be ‘twins separated at birth’, which annoys her to no end. Smug, cruel and proud with a sadistic love for tormenting people and trampling over others’ feelings. Yue is an incredibly fearsome foe with many dark powers and is considered Sandman’s ‘ace’. She has the powerful ability to make dreams/nightmares real, forcefully dragging them out of people’s Dream Dimensions.

Yumekui

The monsters-of-the-week. They are summoned when one of the Night Terror Precure uses the special sleep sand to make someone fall into a deep slumber, which opens some sort of portal to that person's Dream Dimension. The Yumekui, and the dream dimensions, take an abstract form of the victim's mental state and insecurities. To defeat them, the Precure have to find and defeat said Yumekui, which can literally be anything in the Dream Dimension. The Yumekui will slowly eat away the victim’s dream and traps them into a neverending nightmare. Their name roughly translates to Dream Eater.

Other Characters

Asami Asahi / Cure Aurora Aged 19. Sayo's partner who was put into a coma during the attack on the Palace of Sleep. Asami has been a Precure since she was a child and was trained by the famous Cure Astro before the latter disappeared without a trace. According to Sayo, Nemu is quite similar to Asami, both in looks and personality. Her real form is a pastel-pink teddy-bear with a black ribbon on her head. It soon turns out that she was keeping quite some secrets from Sayo and the key Asami gave to her before the attack may hold some answers.

One day, Tsubasa found a Cure-Clock next to her bed and was granted magical powers. She used said powers to give fend of the nightmares and eventually seal Mara away in her body. Tsubasa herself fell into a comatose state and was sealed away to a safe, unknown place so that nobody would be able to release Mara. Madame Traum used to be a good friend of her and is known as a legend in the Palace of Sleep, having various statues baring her name. According to Madame Traum, Tsubasa used to be surprisingly reserved and lady-like, and loved writing. Rumor goes that she still has some works of Tsubasa lying around somewhere in her room.
