Chapter 188 - Chapter 188: Pride Of The Homunculi And Being Absolutely Clattered!: There's No Raid Like A Night Raid! (Part 3)

"Hello there viewers...Zachary here...it is nice to see you all again...Now then viewers, before I proceed forward with this particular chapter...and like always viewers...a chapter recap is in order first...now then viewers...let us begin the chapter recap now, okay?...Now then...what do you say, that we get on with it now...okay?"

Date: Imperial Year 1024

Okay, so getting back to the still currently ongoing fight at hand...

"Hey Musketeer, you with the Rapier!? You seem to be quite skillful with that sword of yours, but tell me, just how good are you with it?" I then proceeded to shout out to General Esdeath with. Which as intended, had caused General Esdeath to temporarily divert her attention to me.

And as for my follow up...

"Because, though you may have the speed and endurance. What do you say that I show you how to strike accurately? So Sakura, shall we teach D'Artagnan here how a proper swordsman fights?" I now proceeded to speak up with in follow up.

Which was then quickly followed by me proceeding to pull a Star Card out. To which I then threw it upwards into the air, and about a second or so later, both me and Sakura proceeded to raise our respective Star staffs towards the still spinning Star Card, as it continued to spin in place above us both.

"Sword!" Me and Sakura proceeded to chant together in unison. Which was then quickly followed, by both of our Star staffs proceeding to change into swords.

And as for General Esdeath...

"Gladly, so let me show you both why I am known as the Ice Queen!" General Esdeath proceeded to say back to me in response. Which as she then proceeded to smile quite the devilish and evil looking smile. To which she then proceeded to dash towards me and Sakura with quite a bit of speed. And with her Rapier drawn back ready to strike.

But thankfully, her attack was immediately blocked by Sakura's sword. Which as both swords slammed into each other, it caused a very audible metal clanking sound to result from the impact.

And as for Angel Bluebell and everyone else...

"Bluebell, behind you!" The voice of Angel Salvia proceeded to call out to Angel Bluebell. Which as she proceeded to turn around a full one hundred and eighty degrees. Angel Bluebell was then met by another figure, that was closing on her very fast. But thankfully, she was able to raise her Saint Sword Of Bluebell, with more then enough time to block their strike against her.

Which as her Saint Sword Of Bluebell came into contact with their weapon, Angel Bluebell then noticed that it was what appeared to be a giant pair of scissors. Which looked almost like the big pair of scissors, that Yuri Tanima's mom had had in her possession, when she had been possessed by Jama-P all those years back. And more importantly, when Yuri Tanima had first awakened as Angel Lily.

And as Angel Bluebell then proceeded to get a better look at this individual, she then realized that they were a beautiful and slender-yet-curvaceous young woman with long, purple hair and eyes. She was also currently a revealing, sleeveless lilac qipao with detached lilac arm sleeves. Or the same outfit that was usually worn by Chun-Li from Street Fighter. She was also wearing white boots, glasses, and also had a scar on her right cheek.

And yet strangely...

"Alright you psychopath, time to answer for what you did to our friends!" The girl proceeded to scream at Angel Bluebell. Which pretty much clued her in almost immediately, that they were not exactly aware of the fact that it was General Esdeath that she should've been attacking.

And as for who she was...

"Uh, so Sheele? I am not the one you're supposed to be fighting. And speaking of, if you want to go after Esdeath, she is currently dealing with two of our allies, over there," Angel Bluebell then proceeded to say to the clearly air headed Sheele. Which she had proceeded to say, while a small eyed and straight mouthed look, was currently present on her face. And also, while she proceeded to point over in the direction of General Esdeath, who was currently having a bit of a struggle fighting against me and Sakura at the moment Angel Bluebell had pointed over to General Esdeath.

And as for Sheele and her response? Well about that...

"Oh sorry my bad, I apologize for not knowing the situation in more detail," Sheele then proceeded to say back to Angel Bluebell in response. Which she had proceeded to say to her, while a sweatdrop, and a very astonished expression was also present on her face.

Which upon seeing this, I then realized something. And with this in mind...

"Okay, so it does in fact look as though Sheele is in fact a pretty obvious airhead like she was in the anime. You know, I am not so sure how to respond to that well that is probably due in large part to me and Sakura having our hands full at the moment with fighting against General Esdeath....So viewers I think that this is more then enough of a good place to end this chapter...But don't worry, as we will be getting right back into the action in the next chapter...so viewers, see you all there okay?" I proceeded to think to myself. Which once again, while I was having this thought. I had once again proceeded to briefly turn my eyesight and attention to the left of me, in order to briefly address the viewers.

And now that the chapter recap is now done. We will now proceed right into the current chapter.

Date: Imperial Year 1024

So getting back into the swing of the current situation, as well as the current fight at hand. Which was just as Angel Bluebell was getting yet another strange and yet all too familiar feeling of a nearby, and quickly onrushing enemy...

"Rukia watch out, on your left!" Angel Bluebell proceeded to shout out to Rukia Kuchiki with. And taking her clear warning into an immediate account. Rukia then proceeded to raise her Sode no Shirayuki in an attempt to block the onrushing threat.

And sure enough her Zanpakuto, was immediately slammed hard against by another sword. One, that at the moment, none of us recognized. And this was due in a very large part, to this belonging to another new enemy, that we all hadn't encountered yet. And as for who they were? Well as Angel Bluebell was just able to make out, by quickly and briefly turning around and towards the figure that she had sensed not but a moment ago. She was just able to quickly make out, that this figure was a somewhat middle aged man, wearing a familiar looking dark blue military uniform, and they also had an eye patch over one of their eyes.

And, upon Angel Bluebell then suddenly sensing several more quickly onrushing enemy auras. She then got into another battle ready stance. And as a way to help alert the rest of her allies to the quickly onrushing threats...

"Minna! Several enemies closing in fast on us! Get ready minna, because it's sssssshowtime!" Angel Bluebell then proceeded to shout out with saying. Which she then proceeded to finish off her statement, with a witty line from a certain character from a classic 1988 movie.

"And viewers just so you don't waste time trying to look that film up?...Angel Bluebell here by the way viewers...But just in case you were all wondering which film it was?...It was Beetlejuice...And no viewers, I don't mean the sequel that was just released recently either...I am talking about the original from 1988...But anyway viewers, back to the story at hand...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this, while smiling with both of her eyes closed, in a very cute looking manner*"

But getting back to the current situation and upcoming fight at hand. My clear, quick, and decisive warning wound up doing the trick. And what I mean by this is...

"What the heck? Who is this kid?" The unmistakable voice of Keiko now proceeded to shout out with a bit of confusion to her current tone.

Which as Angel Bluebell proceeded to turn towards Keiko in order to figure out what she had actually meant by her statement. She was then greeted, by Keiko using her iron sand composed sword, to cut through what appeared to be a wave of shadows.

And more importantly, once she had taken a look to a bit further in front of Keiko. Angel Bluebell was then just able to make out what appeared to be a young kid. But, from what she could sense from this young male kid, they were certainly not human.

But then...

"Bluebell! Behind you!" The voice of Angel Daisy proceeded to shout out to Angel Bluebell with. Which as she proceeded to turn around, as well as instinctively raise her Saint Sword Of Bluebell to block. Angel Bluebell was then met by a very pale hand, proceeding to slam somewhat hard against the flat face of her Saint Sword Of Bluebells blade.

And, as Angel Bluebell then instinctively looked up, in order to get a better look at the enemy who had dared to attack her. She then realized that they were a pale-skinned androgynous teenage young man with a lean, muscular build. They also had long, wispy hair, violet eyes with slit-like pupils, and were currently wearing a black crop top, elbow length fingerless gloves, and a matching headband with an alchemical, triangular symbol on it.

And upon Angel Blueell then realizing who this was...

"My, aren't we just pale with envy. Am I right, Envy? So, do you expect us to talk?" Angel Bluebell proceeded to say in an all too familiar and witty sounding tone. As she had now correctly identified the Homunculus Envy. As Angel Bluebell had also proceeded to say one of the most iconic lines from 007s Goldfinger. And as for Envy's response back to Angel Bluebells statement. And as she had intended Envy to respond back with...

"No little bug, I expect you to die! Just as I did to Hughes!" Envy proceeded to respond back to Angel Bluebell with quite a bit of craze to his tone.

But then, out of seemingly nowhere...

"So it was you?! You were the one who killed him?!" The all too familiar and quite enraged sounding voice of Roy Mustang proceeded to shout out to Envy with.

And instinctively, like last time...

"Minna! Shield yourselves!" I heard Angel Bluebell now proceed to suddenly shout out. And as intended, Super Sailor Saturn quickly sprang into action. As she quickly then proceeded to ready her Silence Glaive. "Silent Wall!" Super Sailor Saturn proceeded to quickly shout out. Which just as the Silent Wall quickly then proceeded to appear, and then shield every one of our allies. An intense wall of fire, then proceeded to quickly engulf Envy. Which wound up burning him quite a bit.

And as for Angel Bluebell...

"Well Roy, it's nice to see you and Lieutenant Hawkeye again. So then, I'll leave Envy to you and Lieutenant Hawkeye. As I am sure that you have some unfinished business to deal with regarding Envy correct?" Angel Bluebell now proceeded to say to Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye, who had just happened onto the scene.

And as for Roy...

"Indeed, and thank you Bluebell. Now Lieutenant, stay out of this, this is between me and this Homunculus! Now then you Homunculus, this is for Hughes! " Roy Mustang then proceeded to shout out quite angrily. Which was then quickly followed, by Roy then proceeding to snap his gloved middle finger and thumb on both of his gloved hands, several times in rapid succession. And each one of his snaps, quickly caused a column of intense fire and flame to erupt upwards and around Envy. And each one, wound up causing Envy, to shriek with immense and mounting pain.

And as for Angel Bluebell, upon sensing yet another aura. She once again proceeded, to raise her Saint Sword Of Bluebell, to block the oncoming strike with both of her eyes closed in anticipation. But the strike never came, and as Angel Bluebell then proceeded to open both of her eyes again. She was then greeted by the appearance of an air-skinned woman with brown eyes and straight blonde hair that parted above her forehead. Her hair also had shoulder-length bangs that framed her face and the rest reached her lower back. 

And upon realizing who she was almost instantly...

"Oh Lady Tsunade, so what brings you here?" Angel Bluebell now proceeded to say. Which she had proceeded to say, with a bit of hesitation in her current tone.

And as for Tsunade's response back...

"Does it matter to you why..*hick*..I am here!?" Tsunade proceeded to say back to Angel Bluebell in response. To which Angel Bluebell then immediately picked up, on the clear hiccup that had been audibly present in her statement back to Angel Bluebell in response.

And upon seeing a bottle in one of her hands, Angel Bluebell then realized that she was somewhat intoxicated at the current moment. Which for a fight such as this, was not the most ideal.

And with this now in mind...

"Uh, well viewers...this is not the most ideal...Because at the current moment, Tsunade is absolutely clattered...And yes viewers, that is a British term, to describe someone, who is very very intoxicated...In fact, Richard Hammond sometimes used it himself on occasion...You know, when he wasn't upside down on the side of the road in a car...And Richard?...This is all in good fun, as I mean no sort of disrespect from my statement...You know, in similar like, to when James May suggested in an episode of the Grand Tour, that the sponsors should put the sponsorship stickers on the bottom of Richard Hammond's car...And to give you all a sort of picture of what that would look like...'And here comes Richard Hammond. Oh no he's gone off! Pepsi!'...You know, that sort of camaraderie based fun so too speak...And for the record to all of you over in the states?...Jaguar, is prounounced as Jagu-ar...A Jaguar, is a type of animal...It is not a car brand...so please do stop mispronouncing it as Jaguar...The same is said for the element Aluminium...it is pronounced as Aluminium, and it is not to be pronounced as Aluminum...And furthermore...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this, only for Misaka to once again proceed to come into the frame of shot, and then proceed to speak up*"

"Hey Bluebell! Can we get on with the chapter again already?!...*Misaka proceeds to say this to me, with a somewhat ticked off looking expression currently present on her face*"

"Y-yes Misaka, sorry about that...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this, while proceeding to put her free right hand behind her head. And also while she is also sheepishly smiling, and a sweatdrop then also becomes present, on one side of her face*...So viewers, let us now get back to the chapter at hand...okay?...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this while smiling with both of her eyes closed, in a very cute looking manner*"

Okay, so getting back into the situation at hand...

"Finally, more fresh meat to devour!" A very crazed and somewhat high pitched sounding male voice proceeded to shout out with quite a bit of craze to its current tone.

And upon Angel Bluebell then proceeding to quickly raise her Saint Sword Of Bluebell again. The front facing edge of her Saint Sword Of Bluebells blade, was then contacted by what appeared to be several rows of very sharp and pointy teeth.

And at the center of this, and a ball of what Angel Bluebell could only describe as black mass. Was a somewhat fat looking pale skinned male, with white dot eyes, and a currently very malice grin on its face.

And upon realizing who this black ball of mass was...

"Uh...well Gluttony is here...that's just great!...So then that would mean that the man fighting against Rukia, is the Homunculus Wrath...Or as he is also known as, Fuhrer King Bradley...And this viewers, now seems like a good point to end this chapter...But don't worry viewers, because as usual, we will be continuing the action in the next chapter...So viewers, from me, Zachary, Keiko, and the rest of the Four Aces Alliance...We look forward to seeing you all there...okay?...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this, while smiling with both of her eyes closed in a very cute looking manner*"
