Prologue

Regina: Who are you?!

Cure Ace: Love's trump card! Cure Ace!

{OP}

Part 1

Title: Bring Back the Love! The Five Precure Oaths!

Rikka: Cure... Ace?

Davi: A new warrior I've never seen before.

Regina: {\i1}What's with her?{\i0}
{\i1}Just looking at her makes me queasy.{\i0}
Begone from before me!

Cure Ace: Wherever could you be looking, I wonder?

Mammo: She's fast!

Cure Ace: I'll settle this in one shot!
Make up! Love Kiss Rouge!

I'll make your heart race!
Ace Shot!
Bang!

Mana: Regina!
Regina!
Regina!

Bel: Cure Ace, you said?
I'll remember that name...

Mana: Wait!
Don't take Regina!
Regina...

Regina: Precure...
I'll never forgive you for this!
Precure!

Mana: Regina!

Rikka: Mana!

Cure Ace: Do you think crying will bring her back?
Come on, on your feet!
This is no time to be falling down.

Rikka: Hang on a second!

Makoto: You don't understand!
You don't know how much Mana cares for Regina!

Alice: I don't know who you are or where you came from, but I won't permit such an offhand dismissal of Mana's feelings!

Cure Ace: The Five Precure Oaths!
Those who are Precure always keep walking forward, their eyes on the road ahead!{She says 一つ here, but she's not saying number one, she's saying "One of which is..." which I think is unnecessary/awkward in the English, so it's just been dropped. The reason why I say that is in later eps, she says 一つ again, but says a different one, meaning that she's not meaning to number them off, but just say (as I already said) that it's just one of the five oaths. --K}
You need to become much stronger.

Mana: I can't...
I can't get any stronger than this...

Cure Ace: I have no choice then.{"You are hereby relieved of command." ;_; --K}
I will hang on to this until you have recovered your love.
Okay? Adieu!

Rikka: W-Wait!

Davi: She's gone...

Mana: I'm sorry, guys...
It's just like she said.
I'm not qualified to be a Precure.

Alice: Mana-chan...

Rikka: It's not your fault!
So please stop crying!

King Selfishe: My poor, poor daughter...
Go to sleep now...
A deep sleep... deeper still...
Who in blazes is this Cure Ace?

Bel: We do not know.
However, she {\i1}is{\i0} a fearsome opponent.

Leva: Seems like she's more than you can handle, Bel-chan!

Bel: Stop calling me that, Leva!
You guys haven't captured a single world yet, have you?

Gula: We've already wiped out three whole worlds!

Ira: They must have been boring worlds where nothing better than monkeys lived.

Leva: Are you trying to tell me off?{With a kinda, "Look at him, isn't he so precious? Trying to act all big and tough..." vibe, I think. w --K}

Gula: Want me to take a big bite outta your head?

Ira: Try it if you can!

King Selfishe: Cut it out!
Leva and Gula!
I'm counting on you to exterminate the Precure!

Leva + Gula: Yes sir!

Rikka + Makoto: Hello!

Kentarou + Ayumi: Welcome!

Rikka: That smells {\i1}good{\i0}!

Kentarou: Wanna try one?

Rikka + Makoto: Thanks.

Makoto: Umm, how's Mana?

Ayumi: She's been holed up in her room since yesterday, and hasn't eaten a bite.

Makoto: I see...

Kentarou: Did something happen?

Rikka: Hmm? Something?

Kentarou: Mana's not one to mope often.
I'm thinking she probably had a fight with Regina or something.

Rikka: It wasn't exactly a "fight", per se.

Kentarou: Huh?

Makoto: It'll be okay.
Mana's going through some hard times right now, but I'm sure she'll be back to her cheerful self in no time.

Kentarou: That's true.
Mana has some really good friends.

Makoto: Mana's probably depressed.

Raquel: That's not hard to believe.
Regina was snatched away, and on top of that...

Davi: Her Lovie was confiscated.

Rikka: Cure Ace... I wonder exactly who she is, anyway.

Alice: About that...

Sebastian: Since she appeared, we've been probing into the whereabouts of Cure Ace.
However, we haven't been able to garner any solid information.

Lance: She's quite the worthy opponent.
