Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Hands Of Fate, And A Weaklinkless Chain!: The Four Aces Alliance Vs. Gensei Kihara (Part 3)
"Hello viewers...Keiko here...*I say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers before bringing my attention back up again in order to continue to address the viewers*...Now then viewers...let us now get on with the chapter...But first viewers...like always...before we go into this episode...a quick recap of the previously told episode is in order...*I say this, while smiling with both eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a cute manner*"
And here is the episode recap in question...
Date: September 20, 2009
Okay, so at it currently stood from the last chapter. I had just witnessed Angel Bluebell, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia, make their entrance.
However, as it currently stood. Angel Salvia, had currently been the only one, at least for the current moment, who had soared forward, with the use of her angel wings. Which was in order for her, to use her Saint Twin Swords, to block a potentially lethal attack from Misaka, before it could wind up hitting me, and wind up doing any sort of harmful, or even irreversible damage.
"Well Lucky Strike, though I would say, that we would currently be meeting again, under much less dire situating circumstances. But given the situation, I would say Keiko, that you could currently, use some help, am I right?" Angel Bluebell had just said to me, with a smile, now very much present, on her face.
However, even though Angel Salvia, had done an excellent job, in deflecting Misaka's potentially lethal attack on me. Our troubles, with regard to this whole mess of a situation, were far from being over.
"So the point here is viewers...*Angel Bluebell then suddenly clears her throat*...Sorry, Angel Bluebell here...Now then viewers, as I was about to address to all of you...and as I am sure that all of the diehard fans of the Toaru anime series will agree with me on...there are 5 normal level groupings, of Espers, in Academy City...The Level 0's...who can be anyone from a normal everyday citizen of Academy City...To even Touma Kamijou..."
"Hey...Bluebell was it?...How about you get to the point...*Touma says this while eyeing Angel Bluebell somewhat wearily*"
"*Angel Bluebell then suddenly sweatdrops*...*She then deeply sighs before responding to what Touma just said to her*...Okay, seriously Touma?...Can you please let me..."
"Bluebell...Just get to the point already!...Or do I need to remind you how things went between you, me, and Zachary, several chapter back?...*I say this to Angel Bluebell while, like Touma is currently, eyeing her quite wearily*"
"*Angel Bluebell then once again sweatdrops*...*She then once again deeply sighs*...Okay seriously Keiko?!...*Angel Bluebell says this with a now noticeable tickmark, now present, on one side, of her face*...*The tickmark, as well as her angry sounding tone and expression, now quickly disappear, almost as quickly as they appeared to begin with*...*Angel Bluebell then once again deeply sighs, with a sweatdrop, now once again present, on one side, of her face*...Okay, alright Keiko...*Angel Bluebell then turns her attention forwards again, in order to continue, to address the viewers*...*She then once again clears her throat, before then speaking up, in order to continue, to address the viewers*...So viewers...the simple and short of this is...Level 0's like Touma...are not really normal everyday citizens...Level 1's, like that of Uiharu Kazari, are just above Level 0....Level 2's like the Graviton Bomber, Hatsuya...Who had used the Level Upper, to become a Level 4...Level 3's...like the Sister Clones from the Level 6 Shift Experiments involving Accelerator...Well technically, most are Level 3's, but you basically get what I mean by that...Anyway, there are also, the Level 4's...like Mitsuko Kongo...Kuroko Shirai...just to name a few...and finally, the Level 5's...of which there are only 8...Well, technically, because Keiko and Misaka are sisters, they are both ranked 3rd among the 8 Level 5 Espers...So in a way viewers...it is technically both 7 Level 5s, as well as 8...But viewers...I really do strongly recommend, that you go and read, Going In Almost Completely Blind, and Going In Almost Completely Blind, respectively...Because if you still aren't...then you are truly missing out, on quite a bit of missing context, as well as overall information...*Angel Bluebell now suddenly realizes, that her fourth wall break. Despite her wanting to keep it short, has now dragged on for far too long*...Look, the point here viewers..is that you really need to go and read them...or, in the similar words of one Jerry Lewis from Totally Spies...'It's mandatory'...And so viewers, with that now very much in mind...Let us finally, move on with the chapter now, shall we?...*Angel Bluebell says this, while smiling, with both eyes closed, in a cute looking manner*"
Okay, so fourth wall breaking aside, at least for the moment.
In fact, it actually wasn't even that long, after Angel Bluebell had finished her lengthy fourth wall break, that something suddenly happened, that none of us were prepared for, and didn't account for.
In fact, maybe even as much, as only two seconds, after Angel Bluebell had finished her fourth wall break. That me and her, then heard a familiar voice, then shout out to Angel Bluebell. "Bluebell, lookout!" The unmistakable voice, of Angel Lily suddenly rang out.
"Saint...Spiral...Whip!" I then heard Angel Lily say shortly thereafter. And, with Angel Lily, quickly motioning her right hand, over her leg band. Which was quickly followed, by Angel Lily's Saint Spiral Whip appearing in her right hand, in a quick flash of light.
I then suddenly took notice, of Angel Lily's Saint Spiral Whip, then wrapping its way around Angel Bluebells torso.
And about a split second later, Angel Bluebell, was then suddenly tugged slightly sideways. However, just as it looked as though she was about to open her mouth, in an effort to ask Angel Lily, why she had decided to use her Saint Spiral Whip all of the sudden.
I then noticed a high speed electrical based attack, only manage to miss Angel Bluebell by mere inches. In fact, it had actually wound up hitting, where she had originally stood.
And upon realization, of what Angel Lily had just managed to do, with having just saved Angel Bluebell from certain injury or harm. I then wound up giving a small smile.
"Well that was very quick thinking on Angel Lily's part...Never knew that Angel Bluebell, and the rest of the Love Angels, were able to work so well together," I thought to myself, while the small smile, was still present, on my face.
And, once Angel Bluebell had found her footing again, after she had managed to quickly regained her balance. She then, chose to speak up.
"Nice quick thinking there Lily, you have my thanks," Angel Bluebell said to Angel Lily, with a grateful smile, now present, on her face. As Angel Lily, then withdrew her Saint Spiral Whip, causing it to de-materialize, in a small flash of white light.
And speaking of Limone, and almost immediately, after Angel Bluebell had said her statement. It was then, that an all too familiar bright light, then managed, to light up the sky. Even though, the sky, was still ominously dark.
And with the sudden appearance, of an all too familiar line, of descending crystal steps. It was that I somehow knew, that things, would only get better, from here on out. And finally, Angel Bluebells elaborate, but also simple plan. Would surely wind up going down, in anime history.
"Ah Limone, right on time like always," Angel Bluebell started to say, while giving a small smile.
However...
"Okay Bluebell, though I would love to listen, to more of your thrilling commentary. But we are all sort of in a situation at the current moment," I wound up saying to her, all while I was giving her an expression, to pretty much let her know, that now was not the most ideal moment, to be doing something like this.
And this, was no exception, in fact...
"Bluebell, lookout!" I then heard the all too familiar voice, of one Touma Kamijou then ring out to Angel Bluebell.
And, upon the still unstable, and bright white glowing Misaka, then firing off yet another high electrical attack, in Angel Bluebells general direction. She then, with her quick reflexes, and unlike last time, managed to raise her sword, into a two handed, and deflecting like stance.
However, even though the high electrical attack, managed to hit Bluebells sword, and was successfully deflected. The high electrical attack, was still managing, to shove her whole body backwards. And this was even though, her light blue high heel clad feet, were as rock solid with the ground, as they had been. But despite this being the case, Angel Bluebell, was still being shoved backwards, as her light blue high heels, were leaving drag marks, as she was being shoved backwards.
"Well, good thing for Angel Bluebells supposed superhuman reflexes...And yet, Misaka's high electrical attack, still managed to shove her backwards a good amount," I thought to myself, as I then saw Angel Bluebell show a bit of slight frustration, along with some gritted teeth. As not even a second later, the currently being deflected attack against her sword ceased. And as a result, she was now fully planted again.
"Sis, are you alright?" I heard Wedding Peach call out to Angel Bluebell with concern.
"Yes sis, I am fine, a slight bit strained, but otherwise fine," Angel Bluebell wound up saying to Wedding Peach in response. While afterwards, this was followed, by her giving a slightly audible grunt. Which was followed about a second later, by her then turning to her, and then giving a knowing smile, with both of her eyes closed. In order to let her know, that she was fine.
"Okay, all of us really need to come up with a strategy here, and do it fast...Because given Misaka's currently unstable state...and what I already know about Gensei Kihara...I would say, that we don't have long, before Academy City, is wiped off of the map, and along with everyone in it, including all of us," I thought to myself.
However, I wouldn't know until a short time from now, that when it came to the rest of the Four Aces Alliance, someone on our side, had a hidden ability, that not many knew they had. In fact, it was this hidden ability, that had helped a version of myself, as well as her, to pass The Final Judgment.

And it was then, after I had had this thought, that Angel Bluebell then decided, that now was as good a time as any, to let one Mr. Rotten Luck himself, in on her plan. Because as fate would have it, Touma Kamijou, was another key piece, in all of us putting an end, to the endless fighting, as well as the deaths, that had resulted from those like Galaxia and Beryl.
And so, with this thought, and commitment, now very fresh on her mind. Angel Bluebell, then turned her attention towards one Touma Kamijou, and then decided to speak up, in an effort to fill him in on her plan.
"Oi, Touma? Your Imagine Breaker? You tried it on Misaka not too long before we got here, and it didn't work on her when you tried it, correct?" Angel Bluebell called out to Touma, which was quickly followed, by a somewhat shocked looking expression from Touma.
"How do you know that? You know..." Touma was saying, until I decided to cut him off mid-statement.
"Look Touma, just try humoring Bluebell for a second would you? Because the more that we just stand here and do nothing..." I said, in an effort to get Touma to understand the currently dire, and very dangerous situation, that we were all currently in.
Which was all but confirmed, about a second later, by the still currently unstable, and white glowing Misaka, then proceeding to change into another form, so to speak. Which, not surprisingly, caused Touma, to pretty much get the message, without Keiko having to finish her statement to him.
"Fine, but if this doesn't work, then..." Touma began to say, only for someone else to chime in.
"Look...Touma was it? How about you just save the idle threats, and just agree to the plan already?!" Angel Salvia then chimed in, as she was now getting pretty fed up, with Touma's semi-defiant like tone and demeanor.
"Well said Salvia, and you have my thanks. Now then Touma, how about you do as Keiko, and Salvia just asked of you? Because judging from how things are quickly spinning out of control, I would say that we currently have, about maybe a minute at most, before Academy City, is wiped off the map," Angel Bluebell, then said to Touma, as while she was talking to him, she had drawn her sword, back towards, and then over, her right armor clad shoulder.
And after she had done this, she then turned her attention to Wedding Peach. "So sis, what do you say, that we do our do-diligence, and save Academy City?" Angel Bluebell said, while she had turned to her, and had given her a knowing smile.
"Gladly sis," Wedding Peach responded back, as she then proceeded, to pull out her Saint Miroir. And, once Angel Bluebell had filled Touma in on the rest of her plan, we then set said plan in motion.
And, with Touma, now proceeding to get into a battle type stance. Angel Bluebell, and Wedding Peach, then proceeded to launch their respective purification attacks, just as Touma, had started to take off running, toward the currently still unstable, and still white glowing Misaka.
"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 the currently unstable, and white glowing Misaka.
"Saint Sword Of Bluebell...Devil...Purification~!" Angel Bluebell said. And once the blade of her sword started glowing a light blue color. She then swung it, in a left horizontal swing in front of her, as she fired her attack from the swords blade, and also, towards the currently unstable, and white glowing Misaka.
And with Touma, just managing to get to Misaka, managing to front forward flip over her right shoulder, and was thus able, to use his Imagine Breaker in his right hand, to provide a semi opening through the protective like barrier on that shoulder.
And once both Angel Bluebells and Wedding Peach's respective purification attacks had hit the still unstable and white glowing right shoulder in question, at exactly the same time, the resulting force of both of our respective purification attacks, in combination with Touma's Imagine Breaker, caused Misaka, to return to normal. And, it was only then, that everyone else, including me, had realized, that what had just happened, truly was what was going to go down, as the most elaborate, but simple plan, in anime history.
But there was still the issue, of one Gensei Kihara. However, apparently Angel Bluebell had already planned, for a way for all of us to get there in a reasonable amount of time.
And so, with that in mind, despite a somewhat big amount of coaxing, to everyone else that wasn't in on her plan. We then, with the aura and power of the Through Card, now coursing through all of us, except for Touma, for obvious reasons. And Sogiita, because he decided to go off and do something else, for reasons known only to him. We then, with using the power of the Through Card, managed to get to the aforementioned lab, in no time at all.
And, just to make things all the more convenient, and as we all currently stood inside one of the walls on the side of the hallway, where everyone else currently was...
"Well, given all you villains, and your less then pleased demeanor. As well as all of your not very pleased expressions. I would say that you really weren't all expecting, all of us to know what was truly going on, did you? Well, that is quite typical, as I think Angel Bluebell herself had said to all of you not long ago. That she knew more about all of you villains, then you thought that she did. And more to the point, she wasn't the only one, that knew about any of this. And speaking of those like Angel Bluebell, I would say that right about now..." I suddenly heard the all too familiar voice of Zachary say.
And of course, just to make things all just a little more dramatic, and to give us all a proper entrance, so to speak. Angel Bluebell, then decided to speak up. "Sorry we're late everyone, we sort of got hung up with something," Angel Bluebell said, as her voice rang out through the hallway.
And upon all of us then walking out from within the wall. Zachary once again decided to speak up. "Ah Angel Bluebell, right on time, I see that you managed to carry out your part of things. Keiko, Misaka, it is so nice to see you both as well," Zachary said, while he, about a second later, had turned his attention back towards the group of villains, who not surprisingly, all now had looks of shock, and total disbelief present on their faces.
"Oh right, where are my manners. Gensei, you didn't really honestly think..." Zachary began, only to have somebody else interrupt him instead. Well more like two somebodies...
"Hey Zachary, they get the point! Now how about we move on from your rambling statement finally?!" Me and Angel Bluebell, then chimed in, nearly in unison, as a way to let Zachary know, that the villains had pretty much gotten the message.
"Oh r-right, now then Gensei, what do you say that we finally settle things, between the likes of us, and those like you?" Zachary said, with a now much more telling smirk present, on one side of his face.
"Hello viewers, Angel Bluebell here...And now viewers...I will see all of you lot in the chapter...okay?...*Angel Bluebell says this, while once again smiling with both eyes closed*"
