Chapter 42: An Unfortunate Set Of Circumstances!: A Situation That Just Plain Sucks!

Date: January 19, 1996

Well, another week had now passed since our most recent encounter with Petora. However, this was not on any of our minds at the current moment. No, we were concerned regarding the current head of Saint Hanazono Junior High, Mr. Iwamoto. Or as I had nicknamed him, the Jackie Chan wannabe. Anyway, he wound up calling us and the other students at the school to an assembly at the gymnasium. Because as he had said over the schools public address system, anyone who failed to attend would be given a failing grade in gymnastics. Once everyone was present, he then stated that the students at the school were too weak due to the close relationships between the boys and girls. As a result, he declared both male and females were forbidden to converse with one another regardless if they were on or off campus.

And not surprisingly, the four of us didn't take this very well, and we decided to protest it. However this wound up doing more harm then good. As a little later on we had to run laps as punishment by Iwamoto. Sorry, let me rephrase that. We had to run '1,000' laps as punishment.

At nightfall, Yuri and Hinagiku decided to follow Iwamoto, as they, like I had, suspected that he was working with the devils. However, they did this without telling me or Momoko about it. And as they stalked Iwamoto into a nearby park they were then spotted by a devil named Sojiki. "Shinko here viewers. So given this chapters title, as you were probably wondering why the chapter is named with the word 'suck' in the title. Well, that's because Sojiki...is a devil that is in the form of a vacuum...yea...I was shocked to see him for the first time too...Anyway, back to the story."

Anyway, after they had dodged Sojiki's vacuum sucking attack. This then prompted Yuri ready her Saint Lip Liner, and Hinagiku to ready her Saint Pendule. "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.

And it was then that Angel Lily and Angel Daisy started their introductions.

"In then 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.

Angel Daisy then took off after Mr. Iwamoto, while Angel Lily wound up staying behind and fought Sojiki by herself. Despite this however, Sojiki overpowered Angel Lily easily by stealing her love wave. But before he could defeat her, Limone then appeared, and stopped Sojiki, which caused him to flee. As Limone went to check up on Angel Lily, Angel Salvia appeared and criticized Limone for letting Sojiki get away. Angel Daisy then came back, and unfortunately, she then explained that she had lost track of Iwamoto. Angel Daisy then went up to Salvia from her continuous criticisms of Limone and defended him.

As Angel Daisy and Angel Salvia continued their confrontation. "Sorry Shinko here viewers. Not so much a confrontation, but more of a quarrel...*sweatdrops*...Anyway, back to the story." Anyway, Petora and Sojiki then appeared before the three of them. Thankfully, Jama-P happened on the scene with me and Momoko. And in a nearby secluded area, Momoko pulled out and readied her Saint Miroir, and I pulled out and readied my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. "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 also in my usual battle outfit.

And as Sojiki was about to attack, and once the both of us arrived on the scene, Wedding Peach decided to speak up. "Hold it right there!" she said.

"As great a quippy line as ever sis. My turn," I thought to myself, as I then spoke up. "Alright devil, how about dealing with us! Maybe you won't suck as an opponent!" I smugly said, as the power and authority in my voice did a great job at hammering the smug joking statement home.

And as the usual sound of chiming bells filled the air, Wedding Peach then began her introduction. "Young maidens hearts are naive, and good friends argue everyone once in a while! For you to make fun of them was cruel 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.

"Great as always sis. My turn," I thought to myself, as 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 struck my usual pose.

As Sojiki was distracted by both of us saying our introductions. Angel Salvia decided to try and use one of her Saint Pure Sword's attacks against Sojiki. "Saint Pure Sword Bridal Fire!" Angel Salvia said, as she swung her sword back over her right armor clad shoulder, and then held her Saint Pure Sword straight up with both of her hands, as a wave of fire then erupted towards Sojiki from her swords blade. "Well I would say that that is way too hot for Sojiki to handle," I smugly thought to myself.

After I had had my thought, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, and Angel Daisy then readied their respective transformation items, and prepared 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.

However, Sojiki managed to push Salvia back, despite being slightly burned from her Saint Pure Sword's Bridal Fire attack. To which he sucked all of us into his dimension through his vacuum cleaner. Once we were inside, Limone and Jama-P explained to the five of us of the negative wave flowing through the dimension and stated the more love that we held within ourselves as love angels, the more love there was to be stolen. However, after this explanation, Sojiki then summoned multiple vacuum cleaners into the realm and began to suck out our love waves.

Angel Daisy then summoned the Saint Tornado Rod from the Something Borrowed pendant, and proceeded to try and use it on the vacuum cleaners. "Memorial Candle Of Love!" Angel Daisy said, as two rows of candles appeared, which then lit themselves. "Saint Tornado Dreaming!" Angel Daisy followed up with, doing a 360 degree spin, and then firing her attack from the Saint Tornado Rod.

At the exact same time, Angel Lily then summoned the Saint Astral Baton from the Something Blue earrings, as she then proceeded to use it on the devils. "The Veil Of The Maiden's Shyness!" Angel Lily said, as she did a full spin, while twirling the Saint Astral Baton. "Saint Astral Stardust!" Lily followed up with, as she then got down on one knee, and spun the Saint Astral Baton on her now open palm, as the attack was launched from it towards the vacuum cleaners.

Also at the exact same time, Angel Salvia decided to try and use one of her Saint Pure Sword's attacks against the vacuum cleaners. "Saint Pure Sword Bridal Fire!" Angel Salvia said, as she swung her Saint Pure Sword back over her right armor clad shoulder, and then held her Saint Pure Sword straight up with both of her hands, as a wave of fire then erupted towards the vacuum cleaners from her swords blade.

And also at the exact same time, and after a quick nod to each other, me and Wedding Peach then proceeded to launch our respective purification attacks at the vacuum cleaners. "Saint Miroir...Bridal Flash!" Wedding Peach said, as she did a full spin. And once the heart on her Saint Miroir glowed red. She then fired her attack from her Saint Miroir towards the vacuum cleaners.

"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 started glowing its familiar bright blue color. I then swung it, in a left horizontal swing in front of me, and then fired my respective purification attack from the blade of my Saint Sword Of Bluebell.

But despite our best efforts, all of the attacks are rendered useless by the vacuum cleaners. Since all it wound up doing was that it wound up strengthening Sojiki's powers. This was then followed by him continuing to drain love waves from us. In an effort to protect us, Limone wound up risking his own love wave being sucked away, by holding back Sojiki's attack with his shield. However, Sojiki then pulled out a big vacuum cleaner and managed to break Limone's barrier and weaken him greatly.

And with Limone's love wave now fading, he told us that he had faith that we could defeat Sojiki and Petora, since he was no longer able to help us anymore. He then proceeded to tell a frantic Angel Lily that he wished they would've met as humans. To which Angel Lily then mentioned how they would've studied at the same school and had long conversations with each other. It was then that something amazing happened, Angel Lily's love for Limone caused the Saint Something Four to appear between all five of us. This wound up overwhelming the dimension, thus purifying Sojiki from the intense love wave.

With us now out of the dimension, Angel Lily called out to Limone not wanting him to die. Limone then transformed back into Yanagiba. Which only wound up surprising Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia. I already knew that he was Limone.

Anyway, Yanagiba then woke up, and proceeded to explain that he surpassed any memory of Limone in order to keep from being detected by the devils. This was then followed by Angel Lily embracing Yanagiba, while telling him that they had experienced life together as humans after all. As they continued hugging each other as the five of us looked on in happiness. I then decided to speak up. "Well, I would say that this is one heck of a twist," I happily said, as a small smile found its way onto my face. Which prompted Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia, to turn their attention to me briefly, with slightly confused looks on their faces. "Okay, so probably not the best time to say something like that, but look on the bright side, the five of us now know that Yanagiba is Limone, so doesn't that account for something positive?" I said, in an effort to make light of why I had decided to say what I had said, as a sweatdrop made its presence known on one side of my face. Despite having just lied that I had just found out that Yanagiba was Limone.

The next day, at the school, Hinagiku was seen looking out a window at Yuri and Yanagiba talking with each other. This was followed by me and Momoko, going up to Hinagiku, to which I then chose to speak up. "Cheer up Hinagiku, I know that you were interested in Yanagiba. But let Yuri have this..." I was about to say more when Momoko decided to interject. "And who knows Hinagiku, you may soon find someone too," Momoko said, continuing off what I had said. "Okay sis seriously!?...At least give me some sort of warning!...Calm down, this isn't worth getting upset over...Just be happy with the fact that we managed to get out of another confrontation with a devil unscathed...But still, I wonder when, if ever, will we wind up running into 'her'...Because if that information I read on the newspaper clubs computer was accurate...we may soon find ourselves, in a much larger fight...not just for our timeline...but for others outside of it as well..." I thought to myself, as my irritated expression, changed to one of very deep thought.
