Shadowed Cape Pretty Cure

Shadowed Cape Pretty Cure (シャドウケーププリキュア Shadou Kēpu Purikyua) are a group of girls created by Empress Kurai Tamashi and are created from the remains of Form-Changers that have either faded away or have vanished and the powers of the Cures. Kurai Tamashi had made the capes herself, the fabric of the capes consist of the Cures' despair, pessisism, and any other negative emotions.

History
Kurai was so determined to defeat the Cures that she had an idea. Her idea was that she would make evil counterparts of the Cures to defeat them. She used Form-Changer remains and the Cures' powers to create them and kept tinkering with them to make sure that they were perfect. The Empress also made the capes from the Cures' despair, pessisism, and other negative emotions. She set them to attack the Cures when she died. When Kurai died, the Cures were awakened. The Sailor Suit Pretty Cure and the Shadowed Cape Pretty Cure met each other, then the Cures were knocked and taken to seperate dimensions. They died when their good counterparts defeated them.
