Chapter 53: Chapter 53: A Shock To The System!: A Nightmare Beyond All Expectations, A Fight To The Finish!
Date: March 12, 1996
Well, only one more day had now passed since our most recent encounter with Raindevila, who had wound up appearing in our world. "Shinko here viewers. Well, it really does seem like this is going to be a battle to end all battles, huh? Well, it isn't exactly the final battle, but we will get to that quite a bit later on. But anyway, this isn't going the last time that we see the likes of her, or even fight against her for that matter. And unfortunately, as I am sure you viewers are all aware by this point, Raindevila, is going to soon be the least of our problems. *giggles* But, enough of spoiling you all with more foreshadowing, on with the story."
Who knew that I would be getting so emotional over my sister Momoko getting married. Well, not exactly, Yousuke, despite having failed several times already, was still intent on going to the Devil World to confront Raindevila. This was where the idea for a wedding ceremony was thought up by Me, Yuri, Hinagiku, and Scarlet. However, and unfortunately, as Momoko walked down the aisle, wearing all the pieces of the Saint Something Four, and took her place at the alter, I then started to feel on edge again. Knowing full well what this more then likely meant.
And with me, Momoko, and Yousuke, running out of the Wedding Hall, and into the streets of Shibuya. I immediately realized that something was terribly wrong. As I then noticed that the entirety of Shibuya, was now covered in an all too familiar swarm, of all too familiar evil red tree roots.
And as the three of us continued to run through the streets of Shibuya. I reached into my skirt pocket of my wedding outfit, and pulled out my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. However, without having to say my transformation phrase this time, my body glowed white, and when it had faded, I was in my battle outfit, with my Saint Sword Of Bluebell already at its full size in my left hand. I then looked over at Momoko and Yousuke, and noticed that they were both already transformed as well. Wedding Peach was already in her battle outfit, with the only difference this time, being that she still wore all four pieces of the Saint Something Four.
So, rather then wonder why this had just happened, with neither me or Wedding Peach needing to call out our respective transformation phrases. I instead decided to push that to the side for now and continue my charge towards the fight that would decide the fate of not only just us, but the world as we knew it.
Unfortunately though, this was going to not only be our toughest battle to date. But, the pain I had wound up feeling from our last battle and encounter with Raindevila, would pale in comparison to the pain that I would soon feel in just a short time from now.
Fast forward to about a minute later, and me, Wedding Peach, and Viento came across Raindevila. Who was currently shocking the living daylights out of Limone, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia. And it was at this point that Wedding Peach decided to speak up. "Stop that!" Wedding Peach said.
"As passionate as ever sis. My turn then, and hopefully, this battle will wind up turning out okay," I thought to myself, as I then decided to speak up. "It seems you still haven't learned that evil actions never solve anything, huh Raindevila? Now how about leaving them alone and try dealing with the three of us! Well, that is if you can! Because we aren't going to let you continue with your evil acts!" I passionately said, as the power and authority in my voice helped to hammer my statement home.
And as Raindevila turned her attention to the three of us, and as the familiar sound of chiming bells then filled the air, Wedding Peach then began her introduction. "Today the springtime suns shine is warm! On a fine day like this, you have tried to destroy the world with evil, 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.
"As great an introduction as you have always done sis. My turn now viewers," I thought to myself, as I briefly turned my eyesight slightly to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers.
And after I had done my brief fourth wall break, I then began my usual introduction, whilst holding 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 then struck my usual pose.
Fast forward to a couple of minutes later. And unfortunately, things had suddenly gone from okay, to much much worse.
In fact, as I currently looked on in complete horror, as Raindevila was currently shocking the living daylights out of Wedding Peach and Viento, I then saw several cracks appear in her heart emblem on her chest. And a short second later, it shattered into several pieces, which caused the emotion to suddenly leave her eyes. And this immense shock had also wound up destroying all four pieces of the Saint Something Four, shattering all four of them into small shards. And yet, despite the Saint Something Four getting destroyed, I then noticed that my Saint Sword Of Bluebell remained completely undamaged. "That's strange, why is my sword still here?...And undamaged no less," I thought to myself, as I stared at my Saint Sword Of Bluebell with immense thought. However, this had happened for a very good reason, but wouldn't become more clear to me until several years later.
But anyway, as Wedding Peach fell to the ground and laid there motionless. I couldn't help but react with a immense shriek. "Sis!" I shrieked out to a now motionless Wedding Peach. And once I had made it over to her, I then turned my attention towards Raindevila, with a very enraged look on my face. "Damn you Raindevila! How dare you harm her! You'll pay for this, that is something that I can very much assure you of!" I said, through gritted teeth, as well as immense anger, and rage.
Unfortunately, Raindevila took immediate notice of my anger, and wound up responding in a way that I wasn't prepared for. "Spare me the theatrics Bluebell! Or would you like to join her?!" Raindevila said, as she then proceeded to shock the living daylights out of me, with a huge amount of her evil energy. Which not surprisingly, caused me to let out another immense shriek, as my body continued to feel the now mounting pain. And it was quite honestly, the most horrible pain that I had ever felt up to this point. "Damn you Raindevila...Damn it...this hurts so much...!" I managed to think to myself, as the attack continued to shock me throughout my entire body.
And as I continued to let out my shriek of pain, as well as shield Wedding Peach's still motionless body. Because before Raindevila had proceeded to shock me with her attack, I managed to throw my body on top of Wedding Peach, in an effort to try and shield her. And as this was going on, I couldn't help but feel immense remorse for what had just transpired. "I'm sorry sis, I am so so sorry...I did all that I could, and it still wasn't enough to save you..." I managed to think to myself, as I then started to tear up, as the pain continued to mount. "Bluebell!" An injured Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, Angel Salvia, and Limone all called out to me, as they looked on in complete horror, as I continued to receive the full brunt of Raindevila's attack.
However, as the pain continued throughout my body, I was just able to see a certain injured someone manage to race out in front of me, and then proceeded to block Raindevila's attack with his sword. "Viento...thank you...damn it...this still really hurts!" I thought to myself, as I was still over Wedding Peach's still lifeless body, and was still feeling pain, even though Raindevila's attack had now stopped hitting me.
However, it was then that something unexpected happened. Wedding Peach's body started to glow. And as I got up off of her motionless body, with some slight difficulty. I noticed that the shattered heart emblem on her chest plate, had now somehow mended itself. And as Wedding Peach opened her eyes, I couldn't help but manage a smile, despite the immense pain still coursing through my entire body. "Welcome back sis, what do you say we put an end to all of this, and purify Raindevila once and for all," I said, as I proceeded to help Wedding Peach up with my free right hand.
"Agreed Bluebell, time to finally put an end to all of this," Wedding Peach said in response, as she then readied her Saint Miroir, through a slight bit of pain, while I drew my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, with a slight bit of difficulty, back towards, and then over my right armor clad shoulder.
"Saint Miroir...Bridal Flash!" Wedding Peach said, as she then did a full spin, and once the heart on her Saint Miroir glowed its familiar red color, she then launched her attack from her Saint Miroir towards Raindevila.
"Saint Sword Of Bluebell...Devil...Purification~!" I said. And once the blade of my sword started glowing its familiar light blue color. I then swung it, in a left horizontal swing in front of me, as I fired my attack from the swords blade.
And once both attacks hit Raindevila at exactly the same time, she was purified, to which she then faded out of existence. And, it was at this point that we finally felt that we could all be at peace. However, both me and Momoko, and everyone else, would soon learn, that a Love Angel's work is never done. As evil never takes a holiday.
Date: July 16, 1998 (Two Years Later)
Fast forward to two years later, and it was another normal night for me and Momoko. Well, about as normal as it could get for two sisters who happened to be Love Angels. And while I was now 18 and Momoko was now 16, I really didn't feel any older.
Anyway, Momoko was in the bathroom getting ready for bed, and I was at our desk, holding my Saint Sword Of Bluebell in my hand just with a thought on my mind. "It really is hard to believe that it has been a few years since I first wound up in this world, and to think, I had first thought that all of this was fictional," I thought to myself as I held the Saint Sword Of Bluebell in my open palm.
It was then that Momoko came out of the bathroom and her attention was drawn to me sitting at the desk. "Oh hey Shinko, what's up?" Momoko asked. "Oh nothing sis, just thinking, that's all," I said, as I closed my hand that had my Saint Sword Of Bluebell in it and put it the pocket of my Pajama top, before Momoko could see it. "Oh okay, well we better both get to bed, we both have to be at the beach tomorrow with Yuri, Hinagiku and Scarlet," Momoko said. "Oh, right," I said in response as I went to my respective bed and tucked myself in, With Momoko turning out the light, and then tucking herself into her respective bed. However, as we both dozed off, I would soon have a dream, that would turn into a living nightmare.
Darkness, all I could see was darkness. And it just went on forever. But as I stared out into the endless void, I would soon realize that I was not alone.
"I see you've been enjoying your time as a Love Angel, tell me, are you having fun?" a disembodied voice asked out from the endless darkness. "Who are you, identify yourself!" I shouted into the void. "Oh come on now, is that any way to treat someone who has helped you countless times on your journey up until this point?" The disembodied voice called out from the void. "What do you mean by that?" I asked, clearly now stunned. "Do you remember that night when you woke up and you were stuck in your female form and were so permanently?" the disembodied voice said. "Wait, that was you, you did this to me!?" I said with clear distraught now present on my face. "Oh come come now, I also made it so your Saint Sword Of Bluebell didn't break during your fight with Raindevila like the other pieces of the Saint Something Four did, you should be thanking me rather then berating me," the disembodied voice said back to me with a hint of sass.
It was at this point, that rather then lose my temper again, I decided to calm down, since losing my temper was clearly getting me nowhere. "Okay, so do you know where my destiny is ultimately going to take me?" I asked. "Well, if I told you that, then I would be spoiling the fun then wouldn't I?" the disembodied voice replied back with about the same amount of sass that Maximilian Pegasus had given Seto Kaiba during their duel at Duelist Kingdom in the Yugioh anime. "Yea, I guess you're right," I said with a tickmark now visible on one side of my face.
It was at this point however, that the void around me got very bright, and my dream ended.
I rose up very quickly in my bed. "What a weird dream," I thought to myself. However, I knew full well that that wasn't a dream. I then looked over at Momoko's sleeping form. "Well, this never was going to be easy, but at least I have the best friends and allies having my back every step of the way, and that, is more then someone like me could ever ask for," I thought to myself, as I closed my eyes as a smile found its way onto my face. And yet, this was then though by me having another thought. "So viewers, now that we are alone for the moment...Let me ask you all...what do you think of the fanfic so far?...I know, their are still technically four more episodes left in this anime...But, who ever said that this story was going to end after those four episodes?...Sure, those four episodes are technically ova episodes...We are actually in the start of the first one now...But, as I will now spoil you all with a little more foreshadowing...And as I am sure I have told you all about this at some point in the previous chapters...We are not the only ones that are going to be present in this fanfic...I mean, after all, I am not the only self-insert character that was originally from another world...*giggles silently*...Anyway, enough of me spoiling you all with foreshadowing...Back to the story." I thought to myself, while I briefly turned my eyesight, as well as my head, to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers.
Unfortunately, after I had had this thought, I then remembered back to when Momoko and the other love angels had had their memories erased about being love angels.
They just wanted to live normal lives.
But as for me, due to a bad feeling that I had had during this exchange, I had chosen to speak to Aphrodite in private during that meeting with all of us in the Angel World.
After telling her that I wanted to keep my memories unchanged, but I wanted her to tell everyone to make it seem as though she was going to still erase my memories.
I just didn't want them to be suspicious, I just wanted them to live normal lives.
I mean, Raindevila had been defeated, so why was I feeling uneasy still?
But anyway, after this had been carried out, I had been told by Angel Celeste to not speak a word to Momoko about what had transpired about our adventures of being love angels and the like.
I mean that was just common place.
And yet, that bad feeling that I had had, was a stepping stone, for what was to come in just a few hours time.
