Going In Completely Blind

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Running In Top Gear!: Angel Salvia, The Lone Wolf Love Angel!



Date: December 22, 1995

Well, a week had now passed since our encounter with Potamos. And the first appearance of Angel Salvia. "Sorry viewers, Angel Bluebell here. So you're all probably wondering why the last chapter was cut off abruptly. Well, that is because I am going to be explaining what actually happened after the chapter had ended at the start of this one...Anyway, as I had predicted, Scarlet O'Hara, or Angel Salvia as Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, and Angel Daisy call her...Anyway, much to my chagrin, Salvia was not only as arrogant as I figured she would be. But, she was even worse then that...she not only had the unfortunate demeanor, that devils should be destroyed, rather then purified. But, she also aggressively went after Potamos with her Saint Pure Sword. And when the four of us tried to confront her, she was less then enthusiastic about being a team player. So viewers, that brings us to now, where the four of us, are going to have to work really hard, in an effort to get Angel Salvia to become a team player...But enough of my rambling. Oh, I almost forgot, the devil that Potamos had summoned to sic on us, was purified without any difficulty, by me and Wedding Peach...But, it is now time to continue on with the story."

Anyway, at Saint Hanazano Junior High, Momoko, me, Yuri, and Hinagiku were discussing the fourth love angel, Angel Salvia. While Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku tried to figure out her identity. I meanwhile, didn't say a word, seeing as how I had to keep the timeline relatively intact. And telling them that I knew exactly who Angel Salvia really was, would wind up messing up everything regarding the timeline. Anyway, Hiromi wound up interrupting our conversation. Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku then suspected Hiromi of being a love angel, having suddenly transferred to our school and joining us at the hot springs in the previous chapter. And while the four of us were spying on Hiromi, and realized, that due to her silly behavior, that she couldn't be a love angel. Well, Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku figured that out. While I, seeing as how I knew that Hiromi was in fact Potamos, once again decided to say nothing. Anyway Yousuke then approached us and commented on the trip to the hot springs. Momoko then took out photos from our trip and browsed through them. Hiromi then joined in on our group and looked at the pictures while Brani watched her. "Shinko here viewers. So, you are probably wondering who Brani is right? Well, that would be our devil of the week that we will have to battle and purify...You know what...that sounds a little bit like another anime show...you know, the one that had a monster of the week...Still, that group had quite the sterling reputation...Can't wait to be working with them later on in this fanfic...But enough foreshadowing...back to the story."

Anyway, once school was over, Hiromi invited Yousuke on a date, but refused as he had to buy soccer gear for himself. Hiromi then offered to go with him and eventually convinced Yousuke for her to tag along. And this was not sitting well with Momoko, at all. I could tell from the less then pleased expression that she had displayed on her face. "I mean after all viewers. Sorry Shinko here again. As a certain someone once said, 'if looks could kill.' Anyway, back to the story."

Anyway, a little bit later, while spying on Hiromi and Yousuke on the street. Hinagiku wound up asking Momoko to say something to her. However, and not surprisingly to me I might add. All this did was get her upset, and caused her to lash out at Yuri and Hinagiku.

A short time later, at a nearby burger shop. Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku, were still spying on Yousuke and Hiromi. While I was just looking at the three of them with a look of unhappiness on my face. "Well, isn't this just nice and awkward. And I thought that Administrative Vice Cop Roy Earle from L.A. Noire was suspicious...Oh great, Momoko is upset again..." I thought to myself, as my thought was then interrupted by Jama-P appearing from out of Momoko's bag and telling us of a devil's presence in the surrounding area.

Jama-P wound up leading us to the devil. To which we saw Brani, having tied up a girl with scarlet red hair. But before we could act, the girl broke from Brani's grasp. And she then said the three words that confirmed the identity of the fifth love angel, "Excellent Wedding Flower!" This was then followed by a flash of light, and she was then in her wedding dress form, and the Something New tiara then appeared on her forehead. This was then followed by her saying, "Angel Passionate Salvia!" And in another flash of light, she was in her battle outfit.

Angel Salvia then challenged Brani. To which she then summoned her Saint Pure Sword out of nothing. "Saint...Pure...Sword!" Angel Salvia said, as she then proceeded to duel against Brani. However Salvia was struggling to take the devil down. And this was then followed by Momoko pulling out her Saint Miroir, me reaching into my skirt pocket, and pulling out my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, Yuri readying her Saint Lip Liner, and Hinagiku readying her Saint Pendule.

"Beautiful Wedding Flower!" Momoko said. And in a flash of light, she was in her wedding dress form. "Elegant Wedding Flower!" I said. And in a flash of light, I was once again Angel Bluebell, and in my usual battle outfit. "Graceful Wedding Flower!" Yuri said. And in a flash of light, she was in her wedding dress form. "Attractive Wedding Flower!" Hinagiku said. And in a flash of light, she too was in her wedding dress form.

This was then followed by Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, and Angel Daisy readying their respective items, a they then proceeded to transform into their battle outfits. "Bridal Change Wedding Dress Transform!" Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, and Angel Daisy all said in unison. "Angel Amour Peach!" Wedding Peach said. And in a flash of light, she was in her battle outfit. "Angel Precious Lily!" Angel Lily said. And in a flash of light, she was in her battle outfit. "Angel Courage Daisy!" Angel Daisy said. And in a flash of light, she too was in her battle outfit.

And with all four of us now having transformed. Wedding Peach then decided to speak up regarding Brani. "Stop!" Wedding Peach said. "As spontaneous as ever sis. My turn," I thought to myself, as I then spoke up. "I think that is enough of that devil, now how about dealing with the four of us!" I said, the power and authority in my voice hammering that statement home.

And once Brani and Angel Salvia turned their attention to us, and the sound of chiming bells then filled the air, Wedding Peach then began her introduction. "This friend you stalked on a fine wintry evening is a love angel. You have attacked Salvia, the fifth love angel, and for that I can't forgive you! I am the Love Angel! I am Wedding Peach, and I am extremely angry with you!" Wedding Peach said, as she struck her usual pose.

"Excellent delivery sis. My turn now," I thought to myself, as I then began my usual introduction, as I held my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, straight up with my left hand. "The nature of the bluebell, is to spread joy and love, allowing friendships to remain strong! I can't forgive those who commit acts of evil! I am the Love Angel! I am Angel Bluebell, and I am very angry with you!" I said, as I drew my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, back towards, and then over, my right armor clad shoulder. To which I then stopped it mid downward swing, then held it in front of me in a battle ready stance, and struck my usual pose.

"In the language of flowers, the name of the pure lily is special, it means that it will bloom and grant love!" Angel Lily said, as she struck a pose.

"The daisy is the emblem of the innocent heart, and it can withstand the most evil wind!" Angel Daisy said, as she struck a pose.

And after the four of us had said our respective introductions, Brani then decided to attack us, but she was countered by Salvia. And although the four of us offered to help her, Salvia just was as arrogant as ever, in which she told told the four of us to can it. But despite Salvia's arrogance, Angel Lily readied her Saint Lip Liner, and proceeded to try and assist Angel Salvia.

"Saint Lip Liner...Lily Rainbow," Angel Lily said. But, Salvia simply just went and cut the rainbow ribbon to pieces. 

"Okay really Scarlet!? You really are not on board with being a team player. But, cutting Angel Lily's attack to pieces, that was out of order...Okay...why did I just think that...after all viewers, this isn't Top Gear the last time that I checked...You know the good old days, back when Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May were the hosts...Personally, and if I'm being honest here, which I clearly am...I think that the BBC sort of shot themselves in the foot when they fired Jeremy Clarkson...And to think viewers, that it took them many years later, to finally realize, that they were just running on borrowed time...I mean, did they really think that they could recreate the synergy of Clarkson, Hammond, and May?...I mean, they replaced them with Matt Leblanc? Chris Evans? Rory Reid? Andrew 'Freddy' Flintoff? Chris Harris? Paddy McGuinness?...Surely they must've realized that they couldn't recreate the synergy?...I mean, no offense, but Paddy and Andrew aren't even car journalists...Andrew is a cricketer...and Paddy is a comedian...If anything, Chris Harris was the only one of the final three that had any sort of major car knowledge and experience...And quite honestly viewers, I quite enjoyed Richard Hammond's explanation regarding oversteer and understeer...Now just remember viewers, that oversteer is best, because you don't see the tree that kills you...But enough of that, back to the current situation," I thought to myself, as I briefly turned my eyesight to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers.

This was then followed by Angel Salvia then proceeding to go after Brani again. And although she managed to land a hit on Brani. To which she then proceeded to use one of her sword attacks to try and finish Brani off. "Passionate...Cake...Cut!" Angel Salvia said, as she then tried to swing at Brani with an overhead swing. However, before Angel Salvia could finish Brani. The four of us stood in front of Brani, in an attempt to get through to Salvia. Unfortunately, due to her arrogance, Angel Salvia simply refused, and then rudely suggested to us to get out of her way.

And as Angel Salvia continued to argue with us, Limone then appeared and tried to reason with her. But despite his efforts, Salvia remained unphased and then doubled down on killing the devils. Brani then lunged towards us. This was then followed by Angel Lily, summoning the Saint Astral Baton from the Something Blue earrings, as she then proceeded to use her attack on Brani. "The Veil Of The Maiden's Shyness!" Angel Lily said, as she did a full spin, whilst twirling the Saint Astral Baton. "Saint Astral Stardust!" Angel Lily said, as she then got onto one knee, and spun the Saint Astral Baton in her now open palm, as she launched her attack at Brani, which wound up weakening her.

This was then followed by Angel Daisy, summoning the Saint Tornado Rod from the Something Borrowed pendant, as she then proceeded to use her attack on Brani as well. "Memorial Candle Of Love!" Angel Daisy said. To which two rows of candles then appeared, which then lit themselves. "Saint Tornado Dreaming!" Angel Daisy said, as she did a 360 degree spin, and then launched her attack from the Saint Tornado Rod at Brani, which further weakened her.

"Now Peach and Bluebell!" Angel Lily said. Which then prompted Wedding Peach to summon the Saint Crystal Rod from the Something Old, while I readied my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. "Saint Crystal!" Wedding Peach said, as she did a full spin. To which she then absorbed Brani's attack into the Saint Crystal Rod. "Wedding Engage Gift...Saint Crystal...Love...For...You!" Wedding Peach followed up with, as she did another full spin. And once the crystal on the Saint Crystal Rod shined brightly, she then launched Brani's own attack back at her, in the form of a love wave.

"Saint Sword Of Bluebell...Devil...Purification!~" I said, as I once again drew my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, back towards, and then over, my right armor clad shoulder. And once the blade started glowing its bright blue color. I then swung it forward, in a left horizontal swing in front of me, as I fired my attack from the blade.

And once our respective purification attacks, hit Brani at exactly the same time. She was purified, to which she then faded out of existence.

With the battle now over, Angel Salvia had fled during the fight. Limone told us to find a way to reunite with Salvia, to which he then left. However, I knew, that this would be easier said, then done.
