## Summary

*"Glitter Ace's destiny is revealed as she holds the Golden Crown of Wisdom, and she sets off to Splendorius on a treacherous mission."*

## Synopsis

Johnny has finally returned to Sea Shell Bay to speak with the Glitter Force. He tells the girls about what he's been doing while he was away. After Regina left Splendorius but before Glitter Ace awoke, Johnny and Dina left with the frozen Princess Marie Angelica to find the third legendary weapon: the Golden Crown of Wisdom. One day, he heard the princess speak to him. Marie Angelica magically sent Dina away to help Natalie awaken as Glitter Ace. She also instructed Johnny to go to a faraway land to find the Golden Crown of Wisdom. He heeded her advice and eventually found it.

When Johnny presents the Golden Crown of Wisdom to the girls, Maya immediately tries it on. Natalie gets mad at Maya for being so reckless with the crown and yanks it out of her hands. Almost as soon as Natalie touches it, the crown glows and she suddenly regains all of her past memories. This causes her to pass out.

When Natalie wakes up, she's back at her house. Due to her regained memories, Natalie now knows that she has a destiny to follow. She's scared of this destiny and wonders how she'll be able to do it, but her grandmother reassures her that she is strong and that if anyone can do it, it's her.

That night, Natalie organizes a secret meeting with Johnny, Mackenzie, and Davi at Johnny's antique shop. When they all arrive, Natalie shatters the ice that Princess Marie Angelica was in. It turns out that the ice was just a decoy princess meant to throw off the Mercenares. Natalie then tells the other three what she learned from the Golden Crown of Wisdom. After that, she tells them her plan: she's going to Splendorius to fulfill her destiny by finishing off Regina once and for all. Natalie invites the other three to come and watch but says that they don't have to come with her.

Johnny, Mackenzie, and Davi agree to go to Splendorius with Natalie, and they use a Glitter Crystal Pad to teleport there. Meanwhile, Maya, Rachel, and Clara don't know anything about what the others are doing, so they're concerned that they can't find Mackenzie or Natalie anywhere. They become even more worried when Natalie's friend from elementary school tells them that Natalie has gone missing. Yesterday, Natalie gave her a drawing and said she's miss her, and that led her friend to think she'd never see Natalie again. The girls agree to search for Natalie.

In Splendorius, Natalie and Regina agree to a one-on-one duel, and Natalie transforms into Glitter Ace. Mackenzie also transforms into Glitter Spade to make sure that Ira, Marmo, and Bel interfere. The duel is long, but thanks to the Golden Crown of Wisdom, Glitter Ace no longer has her 5-minute time limit. Regina eventually uses the Spear of Light to summon a dragon made out of shadows, but Ace dispels it using her Glitter Sparkle Stick. All the while, Glitter Spade is thoroughly upset by the idea of Glitter Ace and Regina being in a duel to the death, even if it is destiny.

On Earth, the other three girls search for Mackenzie and Natalie at the antique shop. There, they find the remains of the ice that the fake princess was trapped in. Then, one of their Glitter Crystal Pads floats up to them and shows them an image of the Crystal Mirror.

Back in Splendorius, Glitter Ace finally finishes up the fight by using Ace Shot on Regina. The attack creates a huge explosion and leaves both her and Regina prone and barely conscious. With Regina down for the count, Bel takes the opportunity to usurp Regina's throne and become number one. He commands several Distains to attack both Glitter Ace and Regina. He also makes a spider Distain tie up Glitter Spade and Johnny with its webs. As Glitter Spade watches both Glitter Ace and Regina struggle, she regrets keeping this mission a secret from the others and calls out Maya's name in desperation.

As if on cue, a beam pierces through the sky, and Glitter Heart, Glitter Diamond, and Glitter Clover arrive in Splendorius. The beam takes out the Distains attacking Glitter Ace and Regina and frees Glitter Spade and Johnny from the web. Together, the Glitter Force uses Royal Lovely Straight Flush to defeat the spider Distain.

Glitter Heart then stops Glitter Ace from finishing off Regina and demands to know why she's doing this. Glitter Ace finally decides to tell all of the girls the truth: she and Regina were created from the light and dark parts of Princess Marie Angelica's souls.

## Trivia

* *Glitter Force Doki Doki* never shows Johnny returning to Sea Shell Bay, only him meeting with the Glitter Force after doing so. This is because he returned in episode 44 of the original Japanese version, which was never dubbed and takes place between Episode 10 (season 2 Doki Doki) and this episode.
* Natalie's best friend from elementary school is unnamed in *Glitter Force Doki Doki*, but she's named Eru Morimoto in the Japanese version. Eru first appears in episode 27 of *Doki Doki! Pretty Cure*, an undubbed episode in which she and Aguri (Natalie) become friends.
