Chapter 18: Chapter 18: The Pride Of A Devil!: The Vortex Of Destruction!
Date: July 12, 1995
We continued to traverse the forest by following Jama-P, who felt Pluie's evil presence nearby. Daisy, was doubtful of his sense of direction. This was then followed by Jama-P turning his tail to the left, to which he sensed Pluie in that direction. Upon confirming that he was wrong, Daisy chastised Jama-P, which made him cry. I then had to straighten Daisy out to focus on our mission, to which Peach began to tear up when she wound up worrying about Yousuke. Daisy covered her mouth to stop herself from crying and apologized.
Both me and Wedding Peach, walked ahead of the group, as Lily and Daisy talked about Peach's relationship with Yousuke. Lily told Daisy from her own lack of understanding that Momoko may have feelings for Yousuke. I then decided to speak up in an effort to put them both at ease. "I think what you are forgetting here Lily, is that Peach is risking her life to save Yousuke no matter what happens to her, we all are for that matter, so it would make sense that..." However, I was then stopped mid explanation to Angel Lily. As me and Wedding Peach stopped in our tracks as we envisioned Yousuke bound to the tree once again. Wedding Peach then yelled for Yousuke and then ran straight ahead, followed a split second later by me, Angel Lily, and Angel Daisy.
Pluie continued to speculate what the mysterious wave that came from Yousuke was, comparing and contrasting it to the devil's power and the love wave. It's then that one of the orbs in his lair lit up to show the four of us nearby. We then reached a point having sensed Pluie's presence, but we were unable to see him nor the obscured lair. Roots from the ground then suddenly appeared and tried to strike us. Angel Daisy then quickly readied her Saint Pendule. "Saint Pendule...Daisy Blizzard!" Angel Daisy said, as she did a sweeping circle, and fired her attack from the Saint Pendule. But unfortunately the plants simply just broke out of the ice. Angel Lily then readied her Saint Lip Liner, "Saint Lip Liner...Lily Rainbow!" Angel Lily said, as she made a sweeping motion as she spun, and the rainbow ribbon from her Saint Lip Liner, followed her movement. And once the rainbow ribbon had gotten long enough, she then fired her attack from the Saint Lip Liner. Only, just like Angel Daisy's attack had done with the Saint Pendule, it had no effect, and thus, was rendered useless. The roots then wrapped around Angel Lily and Angel Daisy, strangling them, as me, Wedding Peach, and Jama-P watched on in compete shock.
Jama-P then revealed to both me and Wedding Peach, that the roots were part of the tree of evil, a plant that sucked the love wave out from the love angels. Angel Lily told me and Wedding Peach to rescue Yousuke and to find Pluie, to which she then passed out. As Wedding Peach yelled for Angel Lily, Limone communicated to me and Wedding Peach telepathically, telling the both of us to break Pluie's hidden barrier. Unable to enter the forest, he directed me and Wedding Peach, to gather all our feelings in our heart and pray. Focusing all our energy, we broke the hidden circle exposing Pluie and Yousuke. Wedding Peach then readied her Saint Miroir, while I readied my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. "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 purification attack from her Saint Miroir. "Saint Sword Of Bluebell...Devil...Purification~!" I said, as I drew my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, back towards, and then over my right armor clad shoulder. And once the blade glowed its usual bright blue color. I then swung it, in a left horizontal swing in front of me, and fired my respective purification attack from the blade. Both of our attacks wound up ridding the area of the devil tree, and created a clearing.
As Pluie got ready to continue using the to use the tree of evil. Lily and Daisy emerged, and used their respective attacks, which wound up destroying the roots. Wedding Peach, with me following behind her in case Pluie tried something, went to pick Yousuke up, and as Wedding Peach was about to be struck by the roots, Limone used his powers to cut them down. He praised both me and Wedding Peach, for our hard work, and ordered Peach to take Yousuke to safety. Angle Lily, Angel Daisy, and Limone then covered me and Wedding Peach, and went to fight Pluie together. However, the battle had caused the forest to disappear with an explosion of light and me, Wedding Peach, alongside Yousuke and Jama-P wound up escaping to another area.
A short time later, Wedding Peach apologized to Yousuke for getting him involved in the conflict and blamed herself for what had happened. However, before I could speak up, in an effort to put her mind at ease. Yousuke then suddenly woke up and called out to Momoko, surprising Peach. And to tell you the honest truth, it surprised me as well, since I didn't think he knew any of our identities yet. Despite being transformed, Yousuke recognized Peach's true identity as Momoko. And yet, for some reason, he didn't recognize me as Angel Bluebell. "Because to tell you the honest truth viewers...I was thinking it was going to be a lot longer of a time before he found any of that out...Sorry Bluebell here, just had to get that off my chest *blush* Anyway, back to the story." Anyway, now panicking, because why wouldn't she be. Momoko then tried to pretend that she was someone else, but she still wound up blowing her cover when she got annoyed at Yousuke's teasing. "Nice job there Momoko, real subtle of you trying to keep your cover from being blown. If only you hadn't gotten annoyed you might've gotten out of this scot-free," I thought to myself as a sweatdrop found it's way down one side of my face.
Meanwhile, back at the factory, Lily and Daisy reported to Limone that there were now no traces of the evil tree nor Pluie in the area. Back to me, Peach and Yousuke, and we were now by a river talking. Being asked about Momoko's identity, she, thankfully I might add, decided not to tell Yousuke any information in order to keep him from going further into danger. He then wound up telling Wedding Peach that he won't ask anymore, as the two stared at each other. However, before I could make a comment, Wedding Peach then got up and told Jama-P to take Yousuke somewhere safe, as she believed Pluie wasn't defeated just yet. I then decided to speak up. "I am with you on that Wedding Peach, something tells me that we will be seeing him again real soon..." And sure enough, right as I finished my sentence Jama-P detected Pluie's presence nearby. Negative energy suddenly targeted me and Wedding Peach. Yousuke managed to push both of us out of the way, and he took the hit instead, to which he fell unconscious once again. Pluie then appeared, intensified with more evil energy than normal, and was possibly planning to die, according to Jama-P. Pluie then proceeded to attack Wedding Peach with his powers and caused her to fly back. He then did the same thing to me, causing me to fly back as well, and man did it hurt. After we had both gotten our bearings, I then told Jama-P to take Yousuke away quickly. And after we both evaded Pluie's next attack, Wedding Peach kicked Pluie with her bridal kick, while I punched him with my free right hand across his face.
As the three of us got ready to continue the battle, Raindevila wound up interrupting the confrontation. And a thought then went through my mind. "Okay, so I was expecting Raindevila to be tall, but I never expected her to be 'that' tall...oh good, she is apparently unhappy with all of Pluie's recent failings...Actually...now that I think about that a bit more...this reminds me way too much about another villain, who was dissatisfied with how many times one of her henchman failed...Okay...seriously...I need to stop having these thoughts intrude...because it's not like I am going to cross paths with either of them...they are both dead after all..." I thought to myself, as I breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway Raindevila then ordered Pluie to send me and Wedding Peach into something called the vortex of destruction, while also sacrificing himself through his devotion. Raindevila then summoned the said void, to swallow the three of us. To which she then vanished. Following her commands, he grabbed both me and Wedding peach, and took us into the vortex. Thinking about Yousuke, and me thinking about my bond with Wedding Peach Peach and the love angels, we thankfully managed to get out of Pluie's grasp by holding on to a tree branch while Wedding Peach grabbed Pluie's arm, and with me holding Wedding Peach's hand and my other, which still had my Saint Sword Of Bluebell in it's grasp, was holding onto the tree branch. "And I am going to be honest with you viewers, this is not an ideal situation to be in, especially when you already have a sword in your left hand and you're holding onto a tree branch as well...Your grip, hurts, like a lot. Sorry Bluebell here again, just had to give you viewers my two cents. Anyway, back to the story."
We both then told Pluie through his confusion that we would both be sad if he fell into the vortex, having been easily discarded by Raindevila. Undeterred, Pluie mistook our love as weak, and then went to pull her arm to take her with him. Jama-P then told both of us that our efforts were useless, as he would never understand our love waves. However me and Wedding Peach refused to give up, since we both believed that Pluie could be touched by the love wave just how Jama-P was. And somehow, me and Wedding Peach were somehow able to get through to Pluie. However he then let go of Wedding Peach, as he drifted himself into the direction of the vortex. But before he fell in, he threw Wedding Peach's stolen ring back to her, and then disappeared along with the vortex. Wedding Peach then looked up into the sky, wondering out loud why Pluie had sacrificed himself. "You got me Wedding Peach, but you have to remember that sometimes somethings, are done for the greater good, and sometimes things that happen are just out of our control," I said in response, in an effort to put her at ease. "Thanks Bluebell, that means a lot," Wedding Peach responded back to me with a smile on her face. "You're quite welcome, because after all, that is what siblings do, they look after each other," I responded back with a smile on my face as well.
Wedding Peach then apologized to the unconscious Yousuke for dragging him into the conflict again. Angel Lily and Angel Daisy then caught up to me and Wedding Peach. The two were then told by the both of us, that we had asked Limone, to erase Yousuke's memories from the last few days. The girls asked if this is what we really wanted and even suggested that Wedding Peach might like him, to which she denied having feelings for him. Wedding Peach then turned around to see Limone in the sky, while she questioned if things are alright the way they are. "Yea Momoko, you do realize that you just lied to Angel Lily and Angel Daisy right? So I guess this is going to happen a lot during the series huh? *sigh* I guess that is something that both myself, and you, the viewers are going to have to learn to deal to with..." I thought to myself, which was followed during this thought by me turning my eyesight to the left of me to briefly address the viewers.
