As they transform and fight, Usobakka turns their transformation devices into stones and reverts their transformations. As Usobakka kidnaps Saaya and Homare, Hana proposes to seek help from other Pretty Cures. Few hours later, Hana encounters the Kirakira Pretty Cure a la Mode team: Ichika, Himari, Aoi, Yukari, Akira and Ciel after they rescue Hugtan from a stroller. Usobakka appears again, and like from before, he turns their transformation devices into stones and kidnaps the Kirakira team but Ichika.
Ichika and Hana goes to the Magic World, where they try to alert the Witchy PreCure! team: Mirai, Riko and Ha-chan about Usobakka, but he appears once again and kidnaps Riko and Ha-chan. As the three girls escape, Hana reveals that the monster was known as a boy named Clover, as she had befriended him as a child and couldn't fulfill her promise to see him again. Meanwhile, the other trapped girls meet up with Saaya and Homare, whom realizes that they are slowly being turned into stones. Mirai proposes to Hana to find the Door of Time to prevent and save Clover from being turned into Usobakka. As they find and enter the door, Hana apologizes to Clover, and rescues him by exiting his world.

Clover then uses last of his powers to aid the Pretty Cures, and with the additional aid of the Miracle Lights, they attack Onibi with "Pretty Cure Clover Formation" attack.
