Prologue

{Recap from episode 6, make sure this matches. --K}
Cure Rosetta: Who might you be?
Bel: There's no need for me to tell you my name.
After all, this will be the last time we meet.
Good riddance, Precure.
Very soon, light shall no longer fall upon this world.
As it now belongs to us, the Selfishe.

Mana: Rikka! Alice! You're okay!
What about Makopi?

Alice: Lance-chan and the other fairies are gone, too.

{OP}

Part 1

Rikka: Over there... what's that?
Mana: {\i1}Every fiber of my being is screaming at me to get out of here! {A bit liberal, yes, more literally, "Alarm bells are going off in my chest. I shouldn't be here!" --K}
We should run!

Makoto: That's not necessary.

Mana: Makopi!

Makoto: King Selfishe is currently in a deep slumber.
He won't come attack you.

Alice: King Selfishe?

Rikka: How do you know that?
Who exactly are you?

Makoto: My name is Cure Sword, the Trump Kingdom's last warrior and guardian.

Mana: The Trump Kingdom? Its last warrior?

Title: Battle on the razor's edge! Good riddance, Precure!!

Cheryl: Mana! Rikka! Alice!

Lance: Where is everyone?

Raquel: Hide!
The Trump Kingdom is under the complete control of the Selfishe.
If they find us, we're done for.

Cheryl: We fell right into the Selfishe's trap, and were sent back to the Trump Kingdom.
On top of that, we got separated from Mana and the other girls.

Lance: What do we do?

Raquel: I don't know either.

Davi: Calm down!
Don't start crying yet.
We need to figure out a way to get back to the other world as soon as possible.

Raquel: Umm....

Cheryl: Who are you?

Davi: I'm Davi, Cure Sword's partner.

Cheryl: Nice to meet you, I'm Cheryl!

Raquel: I'm Raquel.

Lance: I'm Lance.

Davi: Let's put off the introductions for now.
Our highest priority right now is joining back up with the Precure.

Cheryl: That's easier said than done.

Davi: Think about it! At a time like this, where would those girls head to?

Cheryl: Oh, the Princess's palace!

Lance: Yeah, that's the most prominent building. {lit: That stands out the most. --K}

Raquel: Let's go!

Cheryl: Hey Davi, how long as the Trump Kingdom been like this?

Raquel: We were sent off to that other world right after being born, so we don't know much.

Davi: The Trump Kingdom was a land of eternal peace.
Thanks to Princess Ange, the people had smiling faces every day.

{flashback}

Marie Ange: Are you comfortable with the hymn services yet? {祈りの歌の儀式は　もう なれましたか？ 祈りの歌 = song prayers = hymns, 儀式 = rituals, rites, (religious) services, etc. --K}

Cure Sword: I've still got a ways to go.
I still get nervous in front of a large crowd, and I'm not very good at weaving words.

Marie Ange: I for one, love your singing.
When I hear your singing, it has a wondrous power to warm my heart.

Cure Sword: I don't have quite the words to express this properly, but thank you very much, Your Majesty.

Marie Ange: I don't mind if you call me "Ann" when it's just the two of us.

Cure Sword: Thank you, Your Majesty.

Davi: Then one day, they suddenly attacked us.
They were King Selfishe's underlings!

Selfishe: Selfishe!

Davi: But the Princess didn't give up hope, and personally led the charge against the Selfishe!

Soldier: Cure Sword-dono! {Should we try and translate -dono? If so, best I've got right now is "ma'am". --K}
Cure Sword-dono... The Princess...
The princess fought valiantly to seal King Selfishe.
However, inside that petrified body of his, a weak flame of dark energy known as "Janergy" continues to smolder. {"Flame" is being used metaphorically and not literally, to help clarify and justify the use of the word "smolder", which is the TL of くすぶっている --K}

Cure Sword: I couldn't save them...
Any of them... {Repeat of these lines from ep 1, with different footage. --K}

Soldier: The princess exhausted her power, and so has taken refuge inside the palace.
Please return there immediately, you are the only warrior left!

Marie Ange: Please, search for the legendary warriors, the Precure!

Mammo: Hide and seek is over now.
Come, you too must now offer your soul to King Selfishe!

Cure Sword: Are you alright?
Marie Ange: Cure Sword! You came!

Mammo: What can you hope to accomplish by yourself?
This kingdom is already doomed to destruction.

Cure Sword: We can rebuild this kingdom time and time again, as long as we never give up hope!

Marie Ange: Cure Sword...

Cure Sword: Let's go, Your Majesty!

Mammo: Dangit! {Yes, more polite than "dammit"/"damnit", this is a kid's show. ;) --K}

Bel: What's up?

Mammo: The princess jumped into the mirror!

Bel: Running away, is she? {With a connotation of "And she thinks she can actually get away?" --K}

Cure Sword: Your Majesty!

Marie Ange: You must escape on your own, Cure Sword!

Cure Sword: You mustn't give up, Your Majesty! Don't let go of my hand!
Your Majesty!

Marie Ange: Count on me following after you later. So you must...

Cure Sword: Your majesty!!

Makoto: I realized I had been separated from the princess, and let myself be carried to your world. {There's a connotation here of her going with the flow of the liquid medium in the space between worlds. Of the current of that liquid carrying her to the other world. --K}

Rikka: So, the reason you became an idol...

Alice: Was to find your princess?

Makoto: I had nothing left but my singing.
I thought that surely she would recognize me if I just kept singing.
However, I haven't been able to find the princess.
And no matter what I've sung, she hasn't responded.

Mana: Well then, let's look for your princess together.
It might be impossible by yourself, but with all four of us together I'm sure we can find her.

Alice: Mana-chan?

Rikka: What are you talking about?

Mana: That Mammo lady is also trying to find where the princess is.
I'm sure there's a reason why the princess being found by her would cause problems.

Makoto: When a Selfishe is created and while it is rampaging, Janergy is released.
They're gathering Janergy so they can revive King Selfishe.

If we can retrieve the princess before that happens, he can be completely sealed away this time.

Mana: See?

Rikka: So, if all we do is focus on purifying Selfishe, that can only slow his revival, hmm?

Selfishe: Selfishe!

Bel: The Trump Kingom is already crawling with Selfishe.
Those girls really should be able to last very long there...
But I guess I better go check on things just to make sure.
