Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Arms Dealers, Lagoon Company, And HCLI!: Welcome To The World Of Jormungand! (Part 1)
"Hello there viewers...Keiko here again...*I proceed to say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers as usual. To which I then proceed to bring my attention and eyesight back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers. I also now proceed to clear my throat, as I then proceed to continue, to properly address the viewers*...So as usual viewers, a chapter recap is in mind...So viewers, with that in mind...lets get on with the mandatory chapter recap now, shall we?...*I proceed to say this, while also smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
Date: October 14, 2023
Okay, so getting back to the currently still ongoing fight at hand. Which at this point since the tail end of the last chapter, was as follows...
"Oi, you with the long light blue hair! Can you please help me to..." A now currently unrecognizable female voice had proceeded to now say over to Angel Bluebell with. But interestingly enough, unlike every other time that this had happened, Angel Bluebell did not know who the female voice belonged to. So, with this in mind, and as Angel Bluebell then proceeded to turn her attention towards the source of the currently unknown female voice...
"Well miss, I would highly suggest..." Angel Bluebell proceeded to say, only to then proceed to halt herself to a stop mid explanatory response back to the currently still unrecognizable female voice. And the reason as to why this was currently the case. Was that Angel Bluebells light blue eyes, had now fallen upon a female, with long blonde hair and purple eyes. And what was also somewhat striking about her, was the fact that like that of Angel Bluebell, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, Angel Salvia, Eternal Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Mercury, Super Sailor Mars, Super Sailor Jupiter, Super Sailor Venus, Super Sailor Saturn, Super Sailor Uranus, Super Sailor Neptune, Super Sailor Pluto, Mew Ichigo, Mew Mint, etcetera, etcetera. She also appeared to be wearing a similar magical girl outfit, only with a couple key differences.
The first of which, was that her outfit appeared to be based on a traditional Japanese-style kimono, with the only difference was that it appeared to be of a unique, stylized design. Next, what appeared to be a prominent red obi, or a wide sash, was tied around her waist. Which seemed to add a striking contrast to her main outfit. Next, she also appeared to be wearing long white boots adorned with red ribbons that wrapped around them. And finally, a frilly pink overskirt was also around her waist. Which gave a similar appearance to Angel Bluebell, Wedding Peach, the Love Angels, the Sailor Senshi, and a few of the Mew Mews, with the fact that it seemed to bear quite a striking resemblance to that of a mini skirt.
And then...
"Uh, w-well miss, you see, I...I'm sorry who are you exactly? And what I mean by this viewers, is..." Angel Bluebell proceeded to say, only for someone who Angel Bluebell did not expect, to then proceed to interject into her fourth wall break at the very start of it. And as for who it was? Well you see, about that...
"Wait hold on a moment here, did you just speak to the viewers? So you can do that as well?" The girl with the long blonde hair had now proceeded to say over to Angel Bluebell with in response. Which not surprisingly, wound up throwing Angel Bluebell off guard. Since because Angel Bluebell had no idea who she was, Angel Bluebell was taken aback as to the fact, that whoever she was, she clearly had fourth wall awareness.
But, though Angel Bluebell had no idea who she was, someone else did know who she was. And as for who this was? Well...
"Ah, so you're the one and only Phantom Thief Jeanne. You know, I was wondering when your anime was going to wind up finally getting an English Dub. But apparently viewers, this is something, that unfortunately as of the posting of this chapter, still hasn't happened yet. And I really do highly recommend, that you go and watch Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, when you have the chance to do so. As it actually bears quite a few similarities to the Sailor Moon anime. And also viewers..." Zachary of all people had now proceeded to say out of seemingly nowhere. Which since Angel Bluebell had absolutely no idea that the girl standing before her, was in fact the one and only Phantom Thief Jeanne. Angel Bluebell was honestly quite surprised, that Zachary knew exactly who she was, while Angel Bluebell on the other hand, did not.
And then...
"Are you kidding me right now Zachary?! You mean to tell me, that you knew exactly who she was?! And yet you didn't bother to pipe up with this bit of information sooner?!" Angel Bluebell now proceeded to say over to Zachary with in response. And not surprisingly, a tickmark was now also currently present on one side of Angel Bluebells face.
But then, as for Zachary and his response back to Angel Bluebell...
"Well yes Bluebell, I knew who she was. But to be fair Bluebell, you never bothered to ask me, so I didn't really see it necessary to tell you. I mean after all viewers, it helps if someone asks about..." Zachary had now proceeded to say back to Angel Bluebell in response with. Which during this very same statement of his. He had also proceeded to turn his attention, slightly to the right of him, in order for him to briefly address the viewers.
To which Angel Bluebell then proceeded to cut him off mid sentence, and fourth wall break explanation. And as for why? Well that much should have been plainly obvious...
"Oh sure Zachary, and as Madison once said back in the Fight Card episode of your fanfic perspective 'everyone's a critic.' Which by the way viewers, I am being sarcastic with regard to that. But anyway viewers..." Angel Bluebell proceeded to say, only for something to then proceed to occur, which as a result, had then proceeded to temporarily cut Angel Bluebell off mid sentence and fourth wall break explanation. Which as it currently stood, was as follows...
"Enough, no more comments from the peanut gallery!" Father had now proceeded to yell out towards Angel Bluebell and everyone else with quite forcefully and arrogantly with in response.
Which he then followed up, with proceeding to launch yet another gold colored energy blast towards Angel Bluebell. Only once again just like in the last chapter, Touma simply continued to hold out his right hand, and once the gold colored energy blast hit it, it then proceeded to instantly dissipate into nothing.
And then...
"Really Father, you really want to lose to us that badly don't you?! Well then, how about we finally show you and your lackey, just how wrong and outmatched you truly are?! Okay minna, it's showtime, so let him and Sloth have it!" Angel Bluebell now proceeded to say. Which during this, Angel Bluebell had proceeded to draw her Saint Sword Of Bluebell, back towards, and then over her right armor clad shoulder.
And then, a good portion of us all, then once again proceeded to launch each of our respective attacks towards Sloth and Father.
"Saint Grenade...Critical! Heart...Impact!" Wedding Peach exclaimed, as she conjured up her Saint Revolver, and then proceeded to fire the energy shot from the barrel of the Saint Revolver. As it then made its way towards Sloth and Father.
"Saint Sword Of Bluebell...Devil...Purification~!" Angel Bluebell then exclaimed. And once the blade of her Saint Sword Of Bluebell proceeded to glow its all too familiar light blue color. Angel Bluebell then proceeded to swing it, in a left horizontal swing in front of her. As Angel Bluebell also proceeded to fire the all too familiar blast of light blue energy from her Saint Sword Of Bluebell towards Sloth and Father.
"Saint...Spiral...Whip!" Angel Lily now also proceeded to exclaim. To which she also proceeded to wave her right hand over her leg band. And in a brief flash of light, her Saint Spiral Whip appeared in her right hand. To which she then proceeded to uncoil it, and then lash it out towards Sloth and Father.
"Saint...Rolling...Boomerang!" Angel Daisy now also proceeded to exclaim. To which she also proceeded to throw both of her arms and hands upwards. And in a brief flash of light, her Saint Rolling Boomerangs appeared in both of her hands. To which she then proceeded to quickly whip them forward from both of her hands one after the other. To which both of them then proceeded to quickly make their way towards Sloth and Father.
"Saint...Twin...Swords!" Angel Salvia now also proceeded to exclaim. To which she also proceeded to extend both of her hands upwards. And in a brief flash of light, her Saint Twin Swords appeared in both of her hands. To which she then proceeded to swing both of them in two separate outward facing swings. To which two separate magic energy wave blasts erupted from both of her Saint Twin Swords blades. To which both then proceeded to make their way towards Sloth and Father.
"Moon...Gorgeous...Meditation~!" Eternal Sailor Moon exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her Kaleidoscope Rod. She then proceeded to launch the attack from it, and towards Sloth and Father.
"Mercury...Aqua...Rhapsody!" Super Sailor Mercury exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Mars...Flame...Sniper!" Super Sailor Mars exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Jupiter...Oak...Evolution!" Super Sailor Jupiter exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Venus...Love Me...Chain!" Super Sailor Venus exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Death...Reborn...Revolution!" Super Sailor Saturn exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"World...Shaking!" Super Sailor Uranus exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Deep...Submerge!" Super Sailor Neptune exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Dead...Scream!" Super Sailor Pluto exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Ribbon...Strawberry Check!" Mew Ichigo exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Ribbon...Mint Echo!" Mew Mint exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Deep...Sea Surge!" Mew Retasu exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Ribbon...PuRing Ring Inferno!" Mew Pudding exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
"Ribbon...ZaCross Pure!" Mew Zakuro exclaimed. Which upon her then proceeding to conjure up her usual attack. She then proceeded to launch the attack towards Sloth and Father.
But then, just before all of the attacks had proceeded to hit Father and Sloth, yet another explosion of bright white light, then proceeded to erupt outwards, and across the entire area that we were all still currently in. Which like all of the other times, had now proceeded to once again blind us all temporarily.
And the only thought on Angel Bluebells mind at this very same moment, was what form of media, were we all going to wind up in next?
"Well viewers, about that. Angel Bluebell here by the way...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of her light blue eyes closed. To which Angel Bluebell then proceeds to open both of them back up again, in order for her to continue, to properly address the viewers. Angel Bluebell now proceeds to briefly clear her throat, before she then proceeds to continue to once again properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this, only for someone to then proceed to come into the frame of shot. To which they then proceed to cut Angel Bluebell off mid sentence, and also midway through her usual end of chapter fourth wall break*"
"Excuse me, Bluebell was it?...*Phantom Thief Jeanne, now proceeds to come into the frame of shot, and proceeds to then speak up. Which was exactly why, Angel Bluebell was forced to stop midway through her end of chapter fourth wall break*"
"Yes Jeanne, what is it?...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this back to Jeanne in response. While surprisingly not sounding even the slightest bit annoyed. No really, when she had proceeded to respond back to Jeanne, Angel Bluebell wasn't even the slightest bit upset. Which was more then likely due to the fact, that Jeanne seemed to remind Angel Bluebell quite a bit of Eternal Sailor Moon. Which as a result, wound up causing Angel Bluebell to default to being polite right from the off. Which interestingly enough, would wind up making a huge difference later on*"
"Would you mind if I help you with ending this current chapter?...*Jeanne proceeds to say this over to Angel Bluebell. While she also proceeds to smile quite warmly and kindly at Angel Bluebell, with both of her purple eyes closed for a brief moment*"
"Uh, s-sure Jeanne...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this back over to Jeanne with in response. Which she also proceeded to say, while a nervous looking sweatdrop, had now also proceeded to temporarily appear on one side of Angel Bluebells face*"
"Thank you Bluebell. Hello there viewers, Jeanne here. It is very nice to be able to finally speak to all of you...*Jeanne proceeds to say this to the viewers, while also proceeding to smile with both of her purple eyes closed*"
"Likewise Jeanne. Now viewers, this now marks the end of this current chapter. But the good news like always viewers, is that we will be getting right back into the action in the very next chapter. So viewers as usual, from me, Jeanne, Keiko, Zachary, Catherine, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, we will see you all in the next chapter. So viewers, see you all there, okay?...*Angel Bluebell proceeds to say this, while she is also proceeding to smile with both of her light blue eyes closed, in her usual very cute looking manner. And Jeanne also proceeds to look towards the viewers, while also pretty much mirroring Angel Bluebells action as well*"
And now that the chapter recap is over and done with. Well, at least for now, we will now proceed on with the chapter at hand.
Date: June 5, 2012
Okay, so getting back to the currently still ongoing situation at hand. Which at this point since the tail end of the last chapter, was just after the huge bright white light had proceeded to erupt from our most recent encounter with both Sloth and Father. But, as for the current area that we were all about to wind up in? Well that was about to make all of the other forms of anime media that we had wound up in thus far, like child's play.
And speaking of which, as Angel Bluebell then managed to quickly glance around her, at all of our allies, she then noticed, that a couple of them, had now once again vanished out of existence. And, as the light had then proceeded to slowly die down. To which the scene around Angel Bluebell and everyone else returned to normal. Angel Bluebell could then see, that what had actually happened, was that other then Sam, Clover, Alex, Martin, Diana, Java, and anyone else who didn't possess some kind of magic, or were a part of Black Lagoon, had all vanished. Which in this case, was pretty much everyone, except for the six aforementioned people. Which meant, that Dutch, Benny, and Rock, had now reappeared, along with the rest of us.
But then, as Angel Bluebell, who had now returned, along with everyone else that were still transformed back into their civilian forms, at least for now. Shinko then proceeded to glance around at our present surroundings. She then noticed, that we seemed to now be in another open looking area. And yet...
"Hey, who are all of you people and what are you all doing here?! There is a business deal going on here!" A currently unrecognizable sounding female voice had now proceeded to say over to Shinko with a clear and obvious amount of confusion, and yet a lot more of what sounded like anger, in their current tone of voice.
And, once Shinko had proceeded to turn her attention towards the source of the female voice. That, was when Shinko's blood had then proceeded to suddenly run cold.
Because as for the female in question who had said this statement? Well, she was a slim, fair skinned young woman with waist-length fair hair styled in a hime cut and light colored eyes, She also appeared to have white hair with light blue eyes and pale skin. And yet from what I could also tell, she also appeared to be dressed in what was clearly a white coat with a feather-like collar. And as for who she was? Well interestingly enough, someone else had decided to speak up with regard to that. And speaking of which...
"Wait is that you Koko?! How long has it been?!" Revy of all people had now proceeded to shout out to the now identified, and yet still quite scary in person, one Koko Hekmatyar. As in the very same Koko Hekmatyar, from the anime Jormungand.
And it was only then that Shinko realized, that things were not as bad as they could have been. Which given who these two females were, that was actually saying quite a lot.
"And yet viewers. Shinko here by the way. And in case any of you are wondering as to why I'm back in my civilian form along with everyone else? Well let me ask you this, would you want to still be transformed, and risk getting found out? My point exactly...*Shinko proceeds to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of her light blue eyes closed. To which Shinko then proceeds to open both of them back up again, in order for her to continue, to properly address the viewers. Shinko now proceed to briefly clear her throat, before she then proceeds to continue to once again properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers, for those of you who are going to attempt to try and question as to why Koko and Revy know each other? Well then I would highly recommend, that you go and read 'Asian Sea Merchants.' As this was, and still is physical proof, that Revy and Koko. Albeit Koko was younger at the time, but the two of them did in fact meet each other. But anyway viewers, I think that that is more then enough fourth wall breaking from me don't you think? So, what do you viewers say, that we get back to the current chapter at hand now, okay?...*Shinko proceeds to say this, while she also proceeding to smile with both of her light blue eyes closed, in her usual very cute looking manner*"
Okay, so getting away from Shinko's current fourth wall break moment, and back to the current situation at hand. Which as it currently stood, was a follows...
"And I see that you've brought your sister Cat with you as well! Nice to see you both again!" Koko had now proceeded to say over to not just Revy, but to Catherine as well.
And then...
"Are you serious right now Cat?! Since when did you..." Shinko then proceeded to say over to Catherine with.
But then...
"Since when have I ever met Koko, Shinko? Is that what you're asking me? Well Shinko, I don't mean to brag, but the three of us have actually met one another a bit more then either you, or the viewers think that we have. Oh, and by the way viewers, if you're wondering how I know this? Well that is because I have the memories to back it up. And if you viewers want more proof then just that, then tough," Catherine had now proceeded to say back over to Shinko in response with.
Which during this very same instance, Catherine had also proceeded to turn her attention and eyesight slightly and briefly to the left of her, in order for her to briefly address the viewers.
And then...
"Wait hold on a sec here Revy. So that's the woman who sold you and Cat those weapons all of those years ago?" Rock had now proceeded to speak up with asking both Cat and Revy out of seemingly nowhere.
And yet, not surprisingly...
"Well yeah Rock, were you even listening to a single word that Revy said?!" Catherine had now proceeded to yell back to Rock with in response. Which she had proceeded to say back to Rock with in response, while Shinko could also quite visibly pick up on the clear and obvious fact, that Catherine was also becoming slightly annoyed, with Rock's absentmindedness.
But then, just as Misaka was about to attempt to speak up...
"And in case you're wondering Misaka, as to why Koko sounds like Dr. Kiyama? Well that is because they are both voiced by the same Seiyuu, or voice actor. Which in this case viewers, is one Anastasia Munoz...*And just as Shinko finishes her explanation over to Misaka, she then proceeds to close her mouth again. Which was to confirm, that her question that she was about to ask, was already answered by Shinko*...Now then viewers, Angel Bluebell here...*Shinko proceeds to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of her light blue eyes closed. To which Shinko then proceeds to open both of them back up again, in order for her to continue, to properly address the viewers. Shinko also now proceeds to briefly clear my throat, before she then proceeds to continue to once again properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers, this now marks the end of this current chapter. But the good news like always viewers, is that we will be getting right back into the action in the very next chapter. So viewers as usual, from me, Keiko, Zachary, Catherine, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, we will see you all in the next chapter. So viewers, see you all there, okay?...*Shinko proceeds to say this, while she is also proceeding to smile with both of her light blue eyes closed, in her usual very cute looking manner*"
"And that viewers, was what one would call a fifth wall break. Keiko here by the way viewers, and it is so nice to be able to be doing another end of chapter fourth wall break after so long...*I proceed to say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers as usual. To which I then proceed to bring my attention and eyesight back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers. I also now proceed to clear my throat, as I then proceed to continue, to properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers, as Shinko herself just said, we look forward to seeing all of you lot in the next chapter. And trust me viewers, when I say that you're not going to want to miss reading it either, I guarantee it. So see you lot there, okay?...*I proceed to say this, while I am also proceeding to smile with both of my brown eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side, in my usual very cute looking manner*"
