Chapter 3: Chapter 3: An Alliance Is Formed!: Beyond The Point Of No Return, The Unison Rule Takes Effect!
Date: April 5, 1995
It was after I had gone through the portal that I was immediately met with a bright light, but after the light had faded, I immediately noticed that I had been deposited in an alleyway. I then decided that before I went to go find Wedding Peach and her friends, I first wanted to check out the sights and see what this world looked like, since I had never watched the anime.
After I had exited the alleyway I was immediately met with a long deserted street. "That's strange, why is there no one here?" I thought to myself, as I began walking down the deserted street.
As I walked down the street, I immediately noticed how beautiful everything was. Only thing was, I was now slowly starting to realize something.
"Why does this place look so familiar to me? Just where exactly does this anime take place? Well, judging from the fact that I am right now looking at a sign that says 'Shibuya' on it. I am going to assume that I am somewhere in Tokyo...Well, at least I can understand what everything says...still, I am going to have to get used to the fact that I can now read Japanese letters as though they are in English...Wait a sec, I had been conversing with Limone in Japanese! So I'm guessing that is one of the advantages of having this form as a love angel?...And yet, now that I am thinking about it in that way, that actually sounds a tad bit offensive to me somehow...Anyway, back to the task at hand before I decide to say something that I might wind up regretting later..." I said to myself.
I then continued to walk down the street and admire the many stores and apartments that lined the sidewalks. However, I then began to hear voices, that seemed to be coming from somewhere nearby.
"Pluie, I'll never let you and the devils have the Saint Something Four!" One of the voices said.
"Beautiful Wedding Flower!" The other voice said.
"That sounded like Momoko and Limone, and it sounds like they are somewhere nearby," I said as I then, took off running in the direction, of both of their voices.
But, as I took off running, I then started to feel, the unfamiliar sensation, of the wind now blowing through my long mane of light blue hair. "Well, this sensation is going to take a bit of getting used to...I'm going to have to get used to it...seeing as how I am a female in this form and not a male," I thought to myself.
I then also noticed, as I continued to run, that the armor of my battle outfit that I was wearing, really didn't feel that heavy. I mean, with regard to the Love Angels and their respective battle outfits, I thought that it would at least feel quite a bit heavy. But for some unknown reason, it felt a lot lighter than I thought it would be.
I guess that would explain, from the clips of the love angels transformations that I had watched back in my world, why the love angels were able to move around so easily. "Still, I really expected this armor to feel a lot heavier than this," I thought to myself, as I continued to run.
Anyway, it wasn't long after I had started running that I came upon an open field with a gazebo in the middle of it. And sure enough, in the sky above the gazebo, was Limone, and he seemed to be locked in a sword fight with someone who was brandishing a sword of darkness. And hearing the sound of steel against steel, from that far away, was quite unexpected, and also quite surprising.
"I guess that is one of my heightened abilities, being able to hear sounds like that from a distance," I thought to myself, as I looked on at the both of them sword fighting in complete wonderment.
And it was when I had gotten over my surprise and wonderment. That I then took a better look at the devil who was brandishing the sword of darkness.
"That must be Pluie. Yep, that pretty much is what he looks like, to the letter, dark green hair, and the same outfit...which now that I realize it...he is bearing his chest through that...ew...I just got a really bad uneasy chill..." I said as I grimaced and then sighed.
I then looked to the right of the gazebo to see Momoko Hanasaki, better known as Wedding Peach, who was for some reason dressed in a wedding dress.
"Wait a sec, now I remember, she always wears that right after she has transformed. So that is what natural pink hair looks like in person...she has the same blue eyes as I do...not to mention that that wedding dress she is wearing...so that is what it looks like in person...the images of what it looked like on my computer, really don't do seeing it in person enough justice...the bouquet she is holding...I wonder what kind of flowers those are...Also, it would also seem to me that she in fact 5' 3" tall. Still, I find it hard to believe that she is 13 years old, and is also that tall...thank goodness I don't have a wedding dress form, because I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must be to move around in a large wedding dress like that," I thought to myself, as I furrowed my brow.
I then looked slightly in front of where she was standing, and saw two more familiar faces that I recognized immediately.
"Well, that would be Yuri Tanima, who if I remember correctly, will wind up eventually awakening as Angel Lily. Her brunette hair really is quite long, probably as long as mine...she has what look like emerald eyes...And that girl with the green hair, that's Hinagiku Tamano?! So if I remember correctly, she will eventually wind up awakening as Angel Daisy...And that's what natural green hair looks like in person?...Not to mention that she has brown eyes...If I'm being honest though regarding her hair, it doesn't look as weird as I thought it was going to look...Wait a sec, where's Scarlet O'Hara...I mean Angel Salvia?...I guess I'll be running into her later on? I have never known of a female character to be more arrogant then her...actually that's not true, I know of two other female characters, who are just as arrogant. Hard to believe that the two of them were so arrogant...not to mention the fact that they aren't cousins…Okay, let me get myself back on track…Because it's not like I will be running into them anytime soon," I thought to myself in a perplexed manner.
To which my expression then changed to a look of slight irritation, as I then put two fingers, from my free right hand, to my temple, in an effort to try and quell my frustration.
Once I had gotten over my irritation after a couple of seconds, I then heard the sound of chiming bells then suddenly fill the air. And as I turned my attention towards the sound, I saw Wedding Peach, on what appeared to be a red carpet, that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, with her form now completely shrouded by a lack of light.
"Wait a sec, why does this seem so familiar to me?...Hold on...this looks way too much like when Wedding Peach does her introduction speeches during every battle...I mean, I only watched one clip of her doing her introduction...but still...might as well standby and see how she does it...because I am pretty sure I am going to need an introduction of my own...but I will deal with that when I have to," I thought to myself.
And it was then, that my thought of her doing her introduction, was confirmed a second later, as Wedding Peach's form was then illuminated by light, as she then started her introduction.
"In this park, where the cherry blossoms bloom, on this glorious spring day when we should celebrate our joy! I will never forgive those who would try to curse young women forever! I am the Love Angel! I am Wedding Peach, and I am extremely angry with you!" Wedding Peach said, as she pointed her left hand that held her bridal bouquet at the possessed Yuri and Hinagiku, which was then followed by her swinging her other arm in a upward arc, and then bringing it into a flexing pose, with her arm bent, and her gloved hand in a flexing pose.
"Okay...so that is what it looks like when she does her introduction in person...I honestly am amazed...even though this is her first battle, she sure knows how to deliver an introduction," I thought to myself.
However, I then noticed that both Yuri and Hinagiku, seemed to be acting a bit off. "We're not afraid of your anger!" Hinagiku exclaimed to Wedding Peach in a very malign tone of voice. "Now give us the ruby ring, or we'll destroy you!" Yuri exclaimed to Wedding Peach, also in a very malign sounding tone of voice.
"Well, that is clearly not how those two would normally act...wait, why do they both have a red mark on each of their cheeks? Hold on here, if I remember correctly, those red marks would most likely indicate that they are possessed by a devil! Also, largely since they are approaching Momoko...I mean...Wedding Peach with malign intent rather than being the friends that I know all three of them are off the information I have on them," I said with a sigh, as I wound up flummoxing by saying Momoko's name, rather then calling her Wedding Peach.
"Well, I am seriously going to need to get used to calling her Wedding Peach when she's transformed...I really have to get used to that, because after all viewers, what good is being a magical girl, if you don't keep your true identity a secret," I said, as I turned my attention to the right of me to briefly address the viewers. And yet, rather then intervene at this current moment. I decided to wait back and see how Wedding Peach performed in this current situation.
It was at this moment, that the bridal bouquet that Wedding Peach was holding, began to emanate a light from it. "Lovely Operation...Tempete!" Wedding Peach said. Which was then followed, after she had done a full spin, by what looked like a candle with a bow appearing in place of her bridal bouquet in a flash of light. Which from what I knew, was called the Lovely Operation Tempete Rod.
And I then noticed that rainbow shockwaves had suddenly begun to shoot out from it in equal intervals, as it washed over Yuri and Hinagiku. However, after the shockwaves had subsided, both Yuri and Hinagiku still had the red marks on their cheeks, and they both also still had the look of malign intent present on each of their faces. And it was then that the possessed Yuri and Hinagiku then proceeded to advance on Wedding Peach.
"Wait a sec, why didn't it work!? I am going to assume then that now would be my chance to step in and assist...I just hope that I can explain myself to her without messing things up. So viewers, get ready for a superhero landing...because I intend to make a grand entrance, as well as a good first impression," I said with a smile, as I once again turned my attention to the right of me, to briefly address the viewers.
Not knowing, that the reason that her attack hadn't worked, was due to my current involvement in the anime canon timeline. And yet I would never know, that something called "The Unison Rule," would wind up proving itself, to be more then something that sounded made up. In fact, it was something that had to do with how I would wind up having to purify a devil, alongside Wedding Peach.
And as I then spread my angel wing decorations out from underneath my shoulder armor, both becoming massive angel wings in an instant, I then realized something. "So, that is how that works, I never knew that angel wings could feel so light, it's as if they aren't there at all. Well, time to make my entrance," I thought to myself, as I then ran forward, and took off skyward.
"So this is what it is like to have the ability to fly...feels quite foreign if I'm being honest. I'll just add this to the now long list of things that I now have to get used too," I thought to myself, as I then used my angel wings to change direction, from flying straight up, to flying straight down.
But, I did it in such a way that when I got close enough to the ground, that I changed direction so that my light blue high-heel clad feet were pointing towards the ground. And it was when I landed on the ground in a stance that had me down on one knee, right between Momoko and the possessed Yuri and Hinagiku that another thought went through my mind.
"Well viewers, I would say that that is a well executed superhero landing. A small side note, I just realized that Deadpool would have probably been so giddy from my landing if he had been here to see it, oh god. He does love superhero landings after all. I could cringe so much right now about Marvel's most recent poor decision making, namely Disney's She-Hulk. But I'm in a serious situation at the current moment. So back to the battle," I thought to myself, as I briefly turned my attention to the left of me to address the viewers.
"Thanks for the save, but who are you exactly?" I heard Wedding Peach ask, looking quite confused and perplexed, while my back was still to her.
"Well, I didn't expect her to ask me that...actually I did, but I wasn't expecting her to ask it like that...well, I clearly can't tell her the truth about how I got here, at least, not yet anyway. I have to at least try to keep the timeline somewhat intact, at least for now...because something tells me that there is more to this, then just the fifty-five episodes of the show...well, might as well explain myself..." I thought to myself, as I then turned to face Wedding Peach.
"It doesn't matter right now Wedding Peach. I have been sent by Limone and Aphrodite to assist you in your journey, you may call me Angel Bluebell in this form," I said in a somewhat confident and nervous sounding tone of voice, as a sweatdrop then found its way down one side of my face. "So...this is what it is like when an anime character sweatdrops...I can literally feel it on my face...well, this is a tad bit awkward, but I guess I can get used to it eventually..." I thought to myself, as I then sighed.
"Oh okay, well the more the merrier I guess," Wedding Peach said in response as she halfheartedly laughed, but in a kind way.
"Well, I guess that is one thing that is true about her, she really does have a kind and pure heart. And what is this force that I am feeling coming from her. Is this what is called the love wave? Wait a sec...I just took another look at Momoko, and she looks to be level with me in height...since I am looking her straight in her eyes...without having to move my head at all...I would assume that would make me 5' 3" tall as well...So that would mean that my height decreases by 6 inches...when I am transformed...Add both of those to the list of things I have to get used too..." I thought to myself, as I once again sighed.
However, once I had finished my thought, a certain someone decided to shout out something.
"Jama-P, destroy them!" Pluie shouted from up above us.
"Well, that's not good...I guess I am now a target on Pluie's hit list...great...so that would mean that I am now in this fight as much as Wedding Peach is...but you know what, I wouldn't have it any other way...because if protecting Wedding Peach from Pluie is part of the reason why I am here, then I am going to have to get used to those like Pluie coming after the both of us. Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to put Wedding Peach at ease, by telling her that I have a way to help her purify Yuri and Hinagiku..." I thought to myself, as I then took a deep breath and spoke up.
"Wedding Peach, I just had a great idea, you have a way to purify them right? I just so happen to have a way to purify as well," I said to her.
"I understand that, but my attack didn't work when I tried it," Wedding Peach said in a somewhat concerned sounding tone of voice.
"Well, time to tell her my idea I guess...and just to let you viewers know..."The Unison Rule," will now be in effect, for the rest of this fanfic," I quickly thought to myself as I then built up the courage to tell her about it, after I had briefly turned my eyesight to the left of me, to briefly address the viewers.
"That may be, but what if we tried our attacks together, it might just be the boost we need to purify your friends and win this fight, come on Wedding Peach, we don't really have much of a choice here," I said in a very confident sounding tone of voice in an attempt to reassure her, with still a bit of nervousness. After taking some consideration, Wedding Peach decided to go with my idea, seeing as how we really didn't have any other option available to us.
And as we both took battle ready stances, I then drew my Saint Sword Of Bluebell back towards and over my right armor clad shoulder.
"Well Wedding Peach, you ready to save your friends?" I asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be," she responded back, still with a hint of nervousness present in her tone of voice.
And with those final words between us exchanged, we then set our plan in motion. And as the possessed Yuri and Hinagiku almost made it to us, we then launched our respective attacks.
"Lovely Operation...Tempete!" Wedding Peach said, as she did another full spin. And her Lovely Operation Tempete Rod then started to once again emanate rainbow shockwaves from it in equal intervals.
"Saint Sword Of Bluebell...Devil...Purification~!" I said, as I swung my Saint Sword Of Bluebell forward, in a left horizontal swing in front of me, as I fired my attack from the blade of my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. Which was a blast of light blue energy.
And during this, I took note of the fact, that like my battle armor, the sword also felt quite light, as I swung it in my left hand. "I guess I'm going to have to get used to the fact of how light this sword truly is. I guess I have some sort of inhuman strength. Which I guess that would explain why the armor and sword feel so light to me," I thought to myself, as I turned my attention back to the trajectory of both my own and Wedding Peach's attacks.
And when both of our attacks hit the possessed Yuri and Hinagiku at exactly the same time, the devil inside of them was overwhelmed and escaped from both of their bodies, which then caused both Yuri and Hinagiku to collapse.
It was then that I immediately recognized the devil.
"Wait a sec, isn't that Jama-P?...Well, that's clearly him, and yet why do I feel a bit on edge seeing him for the first time? I guess that is probably because I have only seen him as an image on my computer, so seeing him in person, is quite alarming...If I can be honest...Which I obviously am about to be...I am not even sure how to describe what he looks like to you, viewers...Well, let me now add getting used to fighting against devils as another thing that I now have to get used to," I thought to myself, while briefly turning my eyesight to the left of me to briefly address the viewers for the first part of my thought.
This was then followed, after I had finished thought, by Jama-P then speaking up. "Forgive me Lord Pluie, Forgive me!" Jama-P yelled, as he fled back to the devil world. And it was at this point that Pluie then dissipated his sword of darkness. "Limone, you and I will finish this fight another day," Pluie said in an arrogant tone. "That's what I thought you'd say," Limone said while smiling.
And it was once Pluie had fled back to the devil world, that Limone came down to congratulate the both of us on a job well done, well, he congratulated me more than he did Wedding Peach. This was due to the fact she was still not aware who Limone actually was, whereas I did know. And she was also still getting used to being Wedding Peach, as was I with getting used to being Angel Bluebell.
A little later on, after me and Momoko had returned to our civilian forms, I had pocketed my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, and Yuri and Hinagiku had woken up, Momoko introduced me to both of them, and boy was it a little intimidating. But after we conversed a little bit, we managed to quickly become friends.
Momoko then explained that I would be accompanying them to school as a student and be staying at her house until further notice. Yuri and Hinagiku were somewhat skeptical about it at first, as was I. Seeing as how from what I knew about Momoko, it was very intimidating being in the same house with someone like her. But after some hard convincing from her, and seeing as how I had nowhere else to stay, I agreed.
"Well, I guess this now officially begins my journey as a Love Angel...I'm still not used to transforming into Angel Bluebell...But hopefully, like everything that I need to get used to, I can hopefully get used to that too," I thought to myself, as I closed my eyes, and then smiled.
