Miyuki's Nightmare, Cure Happy vs RascalRascal went to the Pretty Cure dimension to find the right body for him to take over, and the one he thought was perfect was Miyuki/Cure Happy, because he thought she was the most powerful. That night when Miyuki went to sleep Rascal came out from under the covers and went inside her body, she then started to have nightmares of herself being brainwashed and destroying things and even turning against her friends. The next morning at school, Miyuki looked extremely tired, her hair was messed up and her eyes look very bloodshot, even her friends were very concerned of her, she couldn’t even work well in school. Later that night Miyuki went back and this time Candy agreed to sleep with her for the night, however since they were sleeping together they both had the same nightmare. Miyuki then went back into her current state of mind but then looked around and was devastated knowing she would never do something like destroy or betray people, she then decided that it was time to wake up. Rascal however appeared laughing as he refused to let Miyuki wake up from her nightmare, Miyuki and Candy were shocked at Rascal’s return but also stumped on why he’s turned into a shadow ghost like entity, Rascal explains how she and her friends did that to him, how he came back, and how he felt very melancholic about losing his master. Rascal then implies that he’s back for revenge and that he’s making Miyuki have nightmares so that he could take over her body, Miyuki of course was not going to let that happen and she transforms into Cure Happy. After being killed three times only to come back afterwards, Rascal then explains how basically him and Miyuki are sharing the same dream, and how he’s going to finish what Emperor Pierrot started, he then defeats Cure Happy causing her to turn back into Miyuki, Rascal the tries to take control of her. However surprisingly the possession did NOT work, mainly because Miyuki does not hold any real negativity against any one or anything, she and Candy felt so relieved, but Rascal on the other hand refused to accept his loss, then a red and black portal appeared next to him, he then gave a devilish smile and bid Miyuki and Candy a farewell for now.

Bosses

 * 1) Joker/Rascal (Shadow Entity)- Inside Miyuki’s head in her dreams, you’re given infinite XP, mainly because Miyuki realizes she’s in a dream and she can do whatever she wants. However little does Miyuki realize that Rascal can do the same thing, and after Rascal is defeated three times after coming back, he then defeats Miyuki of all her HP in one special attack, after giving a speech about his motivation.
 * 2) Possessed Ren/Joker- This boss is fought three times in the game: The first time is with the phantom thieves for which they all lose on purpose, and there is no official outcome of the battle since it was interrupted by the Pretty Cure in the next cutscene after. The second battle is at the Nightmare Factory, where Rascal fights more seriously but the battle ends when his health gets real low. The third and last battle is at downtown in the Precure world, when finally defeated, Ren finally breaks free of Rascal’s control after Arsene slices him in half. Compared to most bosses in the persona series, Rascal does not play fair in battle when it’s the last turn in the party because most of his cheats involve him attacking the player even though it’s not his turn.
 * 3) Ink Blob of Horrors- Frustrated by the Phantom Thieves and Pretty Cure destroying his factory, Rascal creates an orb of shadow spirits, and mixes them with a bunch of Ink bags, creating a twisted blob-like ink monster. This monster will consume anything in its path showing no mercy whatsoever, when fighting this monster it can shape shift into two things which happens to be a giant bouncing ball and a large volcano which will spew out ink monsters. The worse thing about this battle the possessed Ren will try to take you down by dropping bombs on you, luckily these bombs can be useful. Yayoi soon discovers that this monster actually has an inside source keeping it alive.
 * 4) The Dream Snatcher- after defeating the ink blob, Rascal escapes, however the Phantom Thieves and the Precure are unable to escape from the Persona world and it’s because of a horrific nightmare entity called the Dream Snatcher. This legendary demon has been known to stalk young children in their sleep and trap them inside their own nightmares, with this monster released from its prison by Rascal, it has locked both the Phantom Thieves and the Precure in the Persona world.
