"Hello there viewers, Angel Bluebell here...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open both of them up again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers, before I proceed with the chapter...Which is still going to be taking place in the Cardcaptors anime timeline...A usual chapter recap is currently in order...So viewers, lets get on with that chapter recap now, shall we?...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my eyes closed in a very cute looking manner*"

Okay, so getting back to the current situation and the currently still ongoing battle at hand...

"Really Kaito?! This is your so called 'ace in the hole.' You're resorting to stooping to partnering up with an evil spirit like Kurumi Tokisaki?! Is that really the best that you can do?!" Zachary proceeded to yell out to Kaito with. Because as of the last chapter, he was still quite upset and very livid. And this was due largely in part, to Kaito having pulled a 'Freddy Kruger' so too speak, by entering his and Sakura's dream while they had been sleeping.

But unfortunately, as for Zachary's statement with arrogantly asking Kaito if that was the best that he could do. This then prompted a response, that though he wasn't prepared for, I however was.

And as for this response in question...

"My, well aren't we being just a tad bit too arrogant? Kurumi, would you be so kind as to show our opponents here the door?" Kaito proceeded to say back to Zachary in response. Which as for Kurumi and what she wound up doing next...

"Gladly Kaito, now then, let me introduce you all to my many friends, or in this case, my clones," Kurumi wound up speaking up in response with. Which not even a split second after Kurumi had said her statement. Several more clones of her began to appear from seemingly out of nowhere. And what I mean by this, was that while some of them wound up rising up from the ground. Several more of her clones, wound up spawning in from a good portion of the walls on both sides of the somewhat wide street that we were all currently standing in.

And as for me, as one of my eyes had now proceeded to start somewhat visibly twitching yet again...

"Really Zachary, you just had to ask?" I proceeded to say. Which I somehow managed to say in a very polite tone of voice. Even though, I was currently very unhappy, with how Zachary had basically just gone, and had tempted fate, just as a certain superhero in a certain superhero movie wound up doing by saying a similar arrogant statement.

"And by the way viewers?...Angel Bluebell here by the way...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed in a very cute looking manner. To which I then proceed to open both of them up again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers, for those who were wondering which...*ahem*...thing it is that I am referencing?...Well, that much should be obvious...Since I can't say who it was who had said it, or the form of media that they had said it in...You know, so I don't wind up getting a c&d from a certain big brand cartoon mouse...And yes viewers, that is exactly what I am trying to convey here...Because after their most recent...*ahem*...box office disaster so too speak...I have decided to do my absolute best, to keep them as far away from these three fanfics as I possibly can...Because the last thing that I want, as do all of you viewers, is to involve them in any part of this whatsoever...The same applies here, for companies such as Sweet Baby Inc, Firewalk Studios, Compulsion Games, and also Ubisoft...I mean after all viewers, these three fanfics need to retain a very high standard...I mean, let me ask you this...Did Gordon Ramsay settle for low end standards when he was building his empire of restaurants and his sterling reputation as a well respected chef?...And for the record viewers, he didn't...Did Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May...Who for the record, were what made Top Gear...I mean did the BBC really think that Top Gear was about the cars?...Which by the way viewers, it wasn't...I mean, why do you think that the viewership and overall ratings for Top Gear wound up taking a complete nosedive, once Clarkson, Hammond, and May left the show?...I mean come on BBC, it should've been obvious that it was about Clarkson, Hammond, and May, rather then the cars...But no, you had to keep trying to prove otherwise to the general public of Great Britain as well as the rest of the world...that this wasn't the case...And remind me again BBC, just how well did that wind up going for you lot?...Oh that's right, you wound up having to pull the plug on Top Gear, because you couldn't get the shows ratings back up to the standard that they had been at when Clarkson, Hammond, and May were part of it...But anyway viewers, I think that that is enough of my fourth wall break...So what do you say, that we go and get back to the chapter at hand now...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my eyes closed in a very cute looking manner*"

Okay, so getting back to the current fight at hand...

"Well excuuuse me Bluebell for trying to speak my mind against Kaito!" Zachary now proceeded to say back to me with in response.

But then...

"Seventh Bullet: Zayin!" The multiple Kurumi clones wound up all exclaiming together in unison. Which as the respective large Victorian clock faces behind them all began to briefly shine. And they each then raised one of their respective flintlock pistols. This caused the minute and hour hands of each of their respective large Victorian clock faces, to spin until the hour hand landed on the VII, or the roman numeral for seven. And the minute hand, wound up landing on XII, or the roman numeral for twelve.

But, what I did not expect, was for all of the Kurumi clones, to also proceed to put each of their respective and currently raised flintlock pistols to the temple on each of their respective heads.

Which was then followed after they had all shot themselves in the temple, by what appeared to be red colored magical energy, then proceeding to flow out from the VII roman numeral on each of the Kurumi clones respective large Victorian clock faces. They all then proceeded to point each of their respective now loaded single flintlock pistols at me, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, Angel Salvia, and the rest of our allies that were currently present as well.

And, with each of the flintlock pistols flintlock mechanisms then proceeding to emit a spark. This then caused each of the now loaded bullets, to exit the chambers of each of the Kurumi clones barrels of their respective single loaded flintlock pistols.

But, as each of these multiple flintlock pistol bullets proceeded to quickly whizz through the air towards us, while leaving somewhat noticeable sound waves behind each of them as they proceeded to do so...

"Silent Wall!" Super Sailor Saturn proceeded to call out. Which she proceeded to call out, as she proceeded to raise her Silence Glaive upwards, and was then swiftly followed by the appearance of the Silent Wall barrier.

Which as intended, wound up causing all of the bullets to slam into the Silent Walls barrier, and then immediately break apart, as well as disintegrate.

And then, quite predictably I might add...

"Well, it seems as though I underestimated you all. Well, no matter, as I think that you'll find, that Zayin isn't my only means of causing you irreparable damage!" All of the Kurumi clones proceeded to say.

Which as they once again proceeded to attempt to use their flintlock pistols again, in order to try and attack us again...

"Okay, I think that that is enough of your evil tricks wouldn't you say Kurumi?! As I think that you'll find, that time is still very much on our side!" Zachary proceeded to say. Which was then quickly followed by him proceeding to pull out the Time Card. 

"Time!" Both Zachary and Sakura proceeded to suddenly chant together in unison. As Zachary then proceeded to quickly throw the Time Card upwards. To which he and Sakura, then proceeded to quickly raise their respective Dream Staffs towards it. Which was then followed quickly thereafter, by the appearance of the Time Card spirit.

And not even a second after that, all of the Kurumi clones, were then suddenly frozen in place. As they had all now quickly changed to a bright yellow color all over their entire respective bodies. Which wound up completely confirming, that thanks to the Time Card spirit, they were now all completely frozen in place. And they weren't exactly going to be unfrozen from the power of the Time Card spirit anytime soon.

"And by the way regarding that viewers?...Angel Bluebell here by the way...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open both of them up again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...But, with regard to all of the Kurumi clones, they won't be getting unfrozen anytime soon, because both Zachary and Sakura have enough magic to keep all of the Kurumi clones frozen pretty much indefinitely...But the thing is viewers, the Kurumi clones aren't exactly done being a threat to us just yet...But you can look forward to that in the next chapter...And speaking of which viewers...this now marks the end of this particular chapter...But like always viewers, we will be getting right back into the action in the next chapter...So viewers, see you lot there...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my eyes closed in a very cute looking manner*"

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

Date: August 12, 2018

Okay, so getting back into the current and still ongoing fight at hand...

"So Kaito, do you still want to continue? Because with both Kurumi and Zafkiel hung up for the current moment, I would say that you..." I proceeded to say over to Kaito with a smug looking grin now very much currently present on my face.

But then...

"Who says that I'm hung up? Did you really think that your little time spell was going to be enough to stop me and Zafkiel?" The currently disembodied voice of Kurumi and her clones proceeded to say in stereo out of seemingly nowhere.

And as for me...

"Alright Kaito, explain yourself! What did you just do?!" I now proceeded to yell out to Kaito with. Which I had proceeded to, while I proceeded to brandish my Saint Sword Of Bluebell towards Kaito, with the tip pointed directly at him.

And as for Kaito and his response back to me...

"Oh right, I forgot to mention. Zachary and Sakura aren't the only ones who can control time and all of its fundamental concept. I mean after all, I used my own magic, in order to nullify the Time Card's power that had been administered on Kurumi. And speaking of which, its time is now up!" Kaito proceeded to say, with an all telling and very smug looking smirk now proceeding to also make its way onto his face.

And then, in the blink of an eye...

"Thank you for that Kaito. Now then, shall we continue?" The now no longer disembodied voice of Kurumi and her multiple clones proceeded to say. Which they had all proceeded to say, as all of their bodies had now become unfrozen from the power of the Time Card spirit.

And then, no more then a split second later...

"Fourth Bullet: Dalet!" The multiple Kurumi clones wound up all exclaiming together in unison. Which as the respective large Victorian clock faces behind them all began to briefly shine. And they each then raised one of their respective flintlock pistols. This caused the minute and hour hands of each of their respective large Victorian clock faces, to spin until the hour hand landed on the IV, or the roman numeral for four. And the minute hand, wound up landing once again on XII, or the roman numeral for twelve.

And this was then once again followed, by the Kurumi clones, to also proceed to put each of their respective and currently raised flintlock pistols to the temple on each of their respective heads.

Which was then followed after they had all shot themselves in the temple, by the all too familiar appeared of red colored magical energy, then proceeding to flow out from the IV roman numeral on each of the Kurumi clones respective large Victorian clock faces. They all then, once again proceeded to point each of their respective now reloaded single flintlock pistols at me, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, Angel Salvia, and the rest of our allies that were currently present as well.

And, with each of the flintlock pistols flintlock mechanisms once again then proceeding to emit a spark. This then caused each of the now newly loaded bullets, to exit the chambers of each of the Kurumi clones barrels of their respective single loaded flintlock pistols.

But, just like before as each of these multiple flintlock pistol bullets proceeded to quickly whizz through the air towards us, while leaving somewhat noticeable sound waves behind each of them as they proceeded to do so. They simply wound up slamming into Super Sailor Saturn's still very much holding and still stable Silent Wall barrier.

Which just like before, caused every single one of the bullets to simply completely shatter, and then disintegrate into nothing.

And as for the response to this having just occurred...

"Well Kurumi, it would seem as though you have forgotten about the barrier haven't you?" Zachary proceeded to speak up with saying. Which he had proceeded to say, while a smug looking smirk was now visibly present on his face.

But then...

"Did I forget though? Oh you poor naive little boy, I think that you should perhaps take another look!" The Kurumi clones wound up saying back to Zachary in response. Which they had all proceeded to say, as a smug looking smirk now also became present on every single one of their respective faces.

And sure enough, as way to hammer the statement of the Kurumi clones home...

"Wait, why is my Silent Wall disappearing?" Super Sailor Saturn wound up suddenly saying out of seemingly nowhere.

And sure enough, the Silent Wall had now suddenly begun to mysteriously fade out of existence.

And upon seeing this having just occurred, I then realized that we now had a very serious and dangerous problem on our hands. Because as long as the Kurumi clones had control over the concept of time, and Kaito had this ability as well at his disposal. Then this fight would only end, with our loss. And given everything that was at stake, for me, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, Angel Salvia, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance. If we lost, then it wouldn't just be us, that would wind up suffering from it. In fact, trillions of people across several anime canon timelines, would wind up paying the price for our loss.

And though I couldn't see at the moment, but tears of both sadness, anger, and rage were currently beginning to stream down my face. I just couldn't let mine and everyone else's journey end here, not when we had all fought so hard to get to this point. But what could any of us possibly do against the likes of Kaito and Kurumi? They seemed to be able to counter every single move that we all happened to make. And since the Kurumi clones had only displayed two of Zafkiel's number bullet powers. I knew all too well, that given the numbers on Zafkiel's clock face numbering a total of twelve. This meant that there were still ten more abilities of Zafkiel, that hadn't been used yet.

And this didn't include that the Kurumi clones could still use the two already used powers of Zafkiel. So having thought about all of these parameters for a second or two. I wound up coming to the conclusion, that unless something miraculous wound up happening, then our journey and our very lives, would come to a crashing end right here at the hands of Kurumi, Kaito, Quiche, and the Bambies.

But interestingly, something miraculous did wind up happening. And as for what that something was? Well about that...

"What the heck?! Something just rushed past me!" The voice of Li suddenly called out with out of seemingly nowhere. Which, had now caused me to quickly turn around to see what Li had just witnessed. But strangely, my eyes didn't wind up happening upon Li. But instead, they wound up staring into a pair of bright blue and glowing eyes.

Which belonged to a somewhat young looking male, with long white spiky hair. He was also currently wearing a dark blue zip-up jacket with a high collar, which was also fairly broad. He was also wearing matching slim-fit black pants and black dress boots. But what was even more strange, was that in one of his hands, he was holding what appeared to be a black colored blindfold.

And interestingly, I somehow sensed, that he was just the kind of miraculous individual, that we were going to need. Which would help us get an edge, against Kurumi, Kaito, Quiche, and the Bambies.

But, as for who this mysterious man was? Well about that...

"Uh h-hello there. Who are you exactly? And can you perhaps please back up a bit? You're currently a little bit to close to me for comfort here," I proceeded to say to the currently mysterious man. Which I had proceeded to say, while a sweatdrop was now very much visible, on one side of my face.

And as for his response back...

"Seriously? That's how you you're going to greet someone like me?" The man wound up responding back to me with.

And as for my response back...

"Okay then...perhaps you would like to tell me how I should greet you then?! I mean, since you're clearly not a fan of the way I just spoke!" I proceeded to say back to the man in response with.

But strangely, instead of responding back to me, the man then proceeded to lightly chuckle. And as for his response back after he had finished lightly chuckling for a couple of seconds...

"I'm only kidding...I mean seriously, you need to have a better sense of humor," The man then proceeded to respond back to me with saying.

Which not surprisingly, had now caused a tickmark, to then become visibly prominent on one side of my face.

And as for me and my response...

"Wow, for the record by the way, you're actually a tad bit more annoying in person...Oh and by the way viewers...Angel Bluebell by the way...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open both of them up again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...For those of you who don't know who this man is?...May I introduce Satoru Gojo...You know, the very same Satoru Gojo from the anime Jujustu Kaisen?...Yes viewers, things are about to get a whole lot more interesting...I mean after all viewers, you didn't think that I wasn't going to include a more modern day anime in these fanfics did you?...I mean, that is kind of one of the main objectives with these three fanfics after all...But anyway viewers, this now marks the end of this chapter...But as usual viewers, we will be getting right back into the action in the next chapter...So viewers, see you lot there, okay?...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my eyes closed in a very cute looking manner*"
