Going In Completely Blind

Date: July 5, 1995

A week now passed since me and Momoko had had our most recent encounter with Aquelda. And yet, somehow I knew deep down, that not only would we be seeing her again, but I also knew that there was more to all of this then what was currently going on. "Hey viewers, Angel Bluebell here. So let me just clarify something to all of you viewers for a moment. Because if you think things are crazy now, then just wait until after the DX arc. Because that is when things truly start to change and shift. Why you may ask? Well, I'm not going to spoil anything for you guys, but let's just say that there are more powerful things at work in both this fanfic and the other two that coincide with this one, then any of you would ever even begin to fathom. But, more on that much later on. Back to the story."

Anyway, as I was saying, the most recent fight that the two of us had with Aquelda, was only the beginning, of something truly special. But for right now, me and Momoko were currently asleep in our respective beds. Well, that is, until I woke up, and then heard Momoko talking in her sleep again. And once her father had come into the room, Momoko then woke up. Well her father woke her up. Which apparently led to Momoko being upset that her ring was no longer on her finger. "Momoko, since when do you wear your ring to bed with you? Am I missing something here viewers?" I thought to myself, which was followed during this thought of me turning my eyesight to the right of me to briefly address the viewers. Thankfully though, Momoko wound up finding the ring, where it always had been when she went to bed, in one of her drawers, in its usual box. Which caused me to sweatdrop, no surprise there.

Me and Momoko then left for school, despite her father telling her to take off her mother's ring. He then stared at a family portrait, while asking the person in the picture, if he was going too easy on their daughter. As Momoko apologized for losing her memento in the dream, Yousuke then appeared...great...and wound up teasing Momoko about the ring on her finger. This resulted in her getting mad. And if I must be honest, you know when an anime character gets really really mad? Yea, try experiencing that for real. Because to tell you the honest truth, it is quite, interesting...yea...lets just go with that. Momoko then tried to hit Yousuke with her bag, but missed, to which she then kept her balance, which somehow caused Yousuke to smash into a pole. "Bluebell here. So yea, like I said viewers, try experiencing Momoko being mad for real, because I gotta tell you, it is very unique seeing it happen for real. And dare I say, very very shocking sometimes if you aren't expecting it. But to be honest viewers, I have pretty much gotten used to it by this point. I mean after all..." "Bluebell, can you cut to the chase here, we sort of have a chapter to get to..." "Oh, my apologies Momoko, anyways, back to the story."

A little while later, at a nearby park, Momoko was at a bench with Yousuke laying down with his head on her lap. I meanwhile, was keeping a lookout as per usual, in case either Pluie or Aquelda decided to show up uninvited again. This was then followed by Momoko apologizing for hurting him, which made her ring glow. "Bluebell here, I would say that counts as a little bit of foreshadowing viewers, wouldn't you agree? *giggles* Anyway back to the story." Anyway, Yousuke then woke up and as Momoko told him to get off her, he then asked if he could lay down a bit longer, to which she obliged.

And unfortunately, this was also the time when Aquelda decided to appear from inside of the fountain. Yea, that's not creepy or anything. And detected Momoko's ring as a part of the Saint Something four.

Yousuke then got up and suggested that they enjoy the nice weather, seeing as how we were all already late to school. And as he ran off to buy juice for Momoko, Jama-P then appeared, and told us of a devil in the nearby area. Aquelda then showed herself and snatched Momoko with her powers to steal her ring. I then realized, that this was now a very bad situation. "Almost as bad as what went on back in chapter 8 viewers. Because as long as Momoko isn't transformed, I can do nothing in this situation, except just stand by and watch. And I gotta tell you viewers, it is really really not fun. And might I also add viewers, is very very painful to experience. But what choice do I have here? Anyway, back to the story." Thankfully though, Momoko then bit Aquelda, which caused her to let go of her grasp. Which only wound up with Aquelda throwing her into the fountain and into the water. Momoko came out of the water to transform, and I was just about to transform right then and there as well. But unfortunately, Aquelda was already gone. Yousuke then came back to find Momoko in the fountain, after having her ring taken.

We then returned to the house. Which we were then greeted by her father. Once Yousuke left however, Momoko then cried and told her father that she had lost her mother's ring. Momoko's father then looked at a portrait asking Sakura if he should tell Momoko the truth. He called out to Momoko and the three of us then sat down to talk. Through Momoko's apologies, her father revealed to Momoko and myself, that her mother was still very much alive. Momoko's father then apologized to Momoko for lying to her for 10 years, and he then continued that he believed that Sakura would come back one day. He also then wound up confessing to Momoko that she wasn't the only daughter that they had raised, which intrigued me. "Bluebell here, and that viewers, now brings us to the reason why I will now have to change my introduction at the start of every fight against the devils, from now on. So brace yourselves, because as a certain director once said in a parody show, 'what a twist.' Anyway, back to the story and away from my M. Knight reference. *sweatdrops while saying the last part*"

"Sorry to ask, but you can explain what you just said a bit further please?" I asked.

This was then followed by him saying that their first daughter had long light blue hair, and light blue eyes, and was born a full year before Momoko. That is, until she mysteriously disappeared out of the blue. Not surprisingly this shocked Momoko, as well as me, though not as much as me, seeing as how he basically described a younger version of Angel Bluebell, except he said that they had named her Shinko. "Bluebell here, so I learned that that means Faith in Japanese when translating Shinko over to English...do with that what you will. Anyway, back to the story."

Momoko was shocked, I meanwhile, fainted.

Because what this essentially meant, was that because Shinko was Momoko's sister, and Angel Bluebell was my alter ego, who was in fact Shinko. That basically meant that I was her brother by default. Which also meant, that like Momoko, this wound up making me the leader of our group as Angel Bluebell, like Momoko currently was as Wedding Peach. So in other words, our group now had two leaders, rather then just one. So why wouldn't I faint in this sort of situation, I mean, wouldn't you? "Bluebell here. And this viewers, is why I now have to completely change my introduction...and now you also know, that I am the second leader of our group...*blushes*...yea...I feel as though my responsibilities, are about to get a whole lot more interesting...along with being much more prevalent...Anyway, back to the story."

Later that day, Yousuke arrived at school to find Momoko was missing, as stated by Hinagiku. Suspicious, both she and Yuri questioned Yousuke if he knew anything about Momoko. It's then both me and Momoko walked in, to which Momoko told the two of them that nothing had happened and denied that Yousuke had done anything.

A little while later, Momoko received a ring from Yanagiba and became ecstatic from the sight of it. It was then however that Yanagiba then told Momoko that it was from Yousuke, saying that he has been worried about her. He then left the room, concluding that Yousuke had to clean the school's pool area as punishment for being late.

Once school was over, Momoko, me, Yuri, and Hinagiku were walking home, while Yuri and Hinagiku were asking Momoko what Yanagiba had talked about with her. Momoko then stopped and told the two she has to do something, to which she then ran back in the direction of the campus, while I followed right behind her. But not before I had decided to speak up. "I understand that the two of you mean well, but do you think you could be a little more easy on my sister..." I said. This, not surprisingly, caused Yuri and Hinagiku to look at me with shocked expressions. To which they then wound up bombarding me with questions. To which I then responded by saying that due to recent events, along with some discoveries, which I also explained to them about. It was now apparent, that I was now one of the two leaders of our group. This would of course require both Yuri and Hinagiku to get used to this. "Bluebell here, and yet something tells me viewers, that it still won't be easy. Anyway, back to the story." As Yousuke was cleaning the pool floor, Momoko appeared with a broom, while motivating Yousuke to go faster. Having now gotten through to him, the two then competed to clean the fastest, which caused them to slip on the ground. Momoko then showed Yousuke the ring he got for her, and thanked him.

Unfortunately, it was at this moment, that Pluie, Aquelda, and her water dragon, then emerged from the water to confront the three of us. Momoko demanded that Aquelda give back her ring, but she refused, and then summoned her water dragon to attack. Now knowing the truth, thank goodness for that, Yousuke then tried to protect Momoko with his broom, but it was broken on impact. As the dragon continued to charge towards us, Yousuke shielded Momoko behind him, which caused a blue barrier to suddenly form over the three of us, and this surprised both Pluie and Aquelda. "What are you waiting for, pulverize them!" Aquelda commanded. "Now do you realize why your tactics don't work, even with the two of you fighting together, you still can't win!" I said to Pluie and Aquelda, with a very irritated look on my face. However, neither one of them heard what I had said, since they were currently more focused on making the three of us suffer. And yet, this didn't stop Aquelda's water dragon from disappearing, and Yousuke fainting. The dragon then charged at me and Momoko, which caused both of us to fall into the water. In the water, I looked at Momoko, who had now pulled out her Saint Miroir. And after I had pulled out my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, we then both nodded to each other, and then proceeded to transform.

"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 Angel Bluebell again, and in my usual battle outfit.

And as the sound of chiming bells filled the air, and after we had landed on the side of the pool opposite Pluie and Aquelda, side by side, Wedding Peach then began her introduction. "On this fine day when the water is warm! You've stolen a memento from a most beloved mother, and on top of that, you destroyed a reconciliation a long time in the making, I can never 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 well delivered as ever sis. My turn then. So let's see if this new introduction is as good as it sounded as when I thought of it," I thought to myself, as I then took my usual stance, with my Saint Sword Of Bluebell being held straight up with my left hand as usual. But once I began my introduction, that was when the attention of both Pluie and Aquelda was then focused completely on me. "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 up towards, and then over, my right armor clad shoulder. But, as I swung it downward, I then stopped it mid swing, as I then held it in front of me in a battle ready position. And I then struck a similar pose to Wedding Peach's, but was still slightly different.

Pluie and Aquelda then fired their respective attacks at us, and as we both dodged them with no issue, Wedding Peach then proceeded to transform into her battle outfit. "Bridal Change Wedding Dress Transform! Angel Amour Peach!" Wedding Peach said. And in a flash of light, she was in her battle outfit. But as Aquelda ordered her dragon to attack us again. An all too familiar attack wound up freezing it. "Saint Pendule...Daisy Blizzard!" the familiar voice called out, as it then froze Aquelda's water dragon. 

This was then followed by the appearance of Angel Daisy and Angel Lily, as they both then landed on top of Aquelda's now frozen water dragon. "They aren't the only Love Angels in town you know!" Angel Lily said, as both she and Angel Daisy leapt off of Aquelda's water dragon, causing it to fall apart into several pieces. 

And it was then that Angel Daisy and Angel Lily began their respective introductions. "The daisy is the emblem of the pure and innocent heart. And its power can withstand the force of even the most evil wind! I am the Love Angel, Angel Daisy!" Angel Daisy said, as she struck a pose. "In the language of flowers, the name of the pure lily is special, it means that it will bloom and grant love! I am the Love Angel, Angel Lily!" Angel Lily said, as she struck a pose. Angel Lily then proceeded to use her attack to tangle Aquelda in her own whip. "Saint Lip Liner...Lily Rainbow!" Angel Lily said, as her attack tangled Aquelda up.

"Now Peach and Bluebell!" Angel Lily said to me and Wedding Peach. "Right Lily, it's about time we send you packing Aquelda!" I said, as I then drew my Saint Sword Of Bluebell back towards, and then over my right armor clad shoulder, with a stern look of determination on my face. And after me and Wedding Peach nodded to each other, we then proceeded to launch our respective purification attacks at Aquelda.

"Saint Miroir...Bridal Flash!" Wedding Peach said, as she then did a full spin. And once the heart on her Saint Miroir glowed red, she then fired her attack from it towards Aquelda.

"Saint Sword Of Bluebell...Devil...Purification~!" I said. And as the blade of my Saint Sword Of Bluebell glowed its usual bright blue color, I then swung it, in a left horizontal swing in front of me, and fired my usual purification attack from my swords blade.

And once our respective purification attacks hit Aquelda at exactly the same time, she was purified. And she then faded out of existence. But not before she said something to Pluie, which caused him to look on in disgust, and then mutter something to himself once she had faded out of existence. He then, as per usual fled back to the Devil World, but not before he vowed to make us pay. "Yea, so Pluie, do you ever get tired of vowing to make us pay? *sigh* Why is it that you villains are always so arrogant?!...Not to mention quite repetitive...Hold on...that sounded way too much like a statement that was said...in the video game L.A Noire...When the captain in the first traffic case said, 'why are you war heroes always modest...'" I thought to myself, as a tickmark then appeared on one side of my face, as I held my free right hand, in a tightly clenched fist. To which my face then softened during the second part of my thought.

A little while later, Yousuke was then woken up by Momoko, to which he then asked where the devils were. Yuri and Hinagiku were going to say something to him, until I decided to step in and speak on their behalf. "Oh Yousuke, I think you might've..." I then stopped mid explanation. Because at that moment Momoko wound up inching closer to him, relieved that he was okay. Yuri and Hinagiku then asked if the two were in a relationship, which made the two of them blush. And unfortunately, this then caused Momoko to accidentally push him away and into the pool. Yousuke then yelled at Momoko as she then apologized as both Yuri and Hinagiku watched on in laughter. "Sorry Bluebell here again viewers. So if I may point something out, both Yousuke and Momoko seem to remind me of some other people who acted this way...who you may ask? Well as I said multiple chapters ago, I am not going to spoil anything for you. Because if I did, then that would wind up defeating the purpose of you all wanting to read on. *giggles* Anyway, see you all in the next chapter."
