Kotone and Claire finally caught up with Momo and Blaire.

"Uh, who are-" said Maria, being interrupted by Momo.

"These are my other friends. This is Kotone Otsuka, and this is..."

"Love, Momo! My name is Claire Stein when I'm in my human form."

"Uh, right..." said Momo. Kotone looked at Blaire and cocked her head.

"Hehehe! You must be wondering who I am, right?" said Blaire. Kotone nodded her head in curiosity.

"I'm Cheerful," Blaire answered. Kotone's jaw dorpped and laughed. Maria got out a sword and held it towards Kotone's face. Kotone opened her eyes and freaked out.

"ENOUGH ALREADY!" Maria shouted, then giggled.

"What's with you, Maria?" said Momo. Siira came over and whispered in Momo's ear, "She's like that. She can be silly and serious just like Love and Cheerful."

"Oh, I'm sorry!" said Kotone. Siira looked at her and smiled.

"What's the matter?" said Siira.

"She loves to introduce herself to new people," said Momo.

"What is your name?" asked Kotone.

"My name is Siira Walker. It's nice to meet you, Kotone."

"I thought you said-"

"Oh wait, Maria, she also wants to know their names, too."

"Thanks for clearing that up, Momo," said Blaire.

"Would you shut up?" said Momo. Blaire laughed and held Claire's hand.

"It's time to go. No more wasting time," said Maria.


In the underground passageway, Shihon was soundly alseep during the invasion, until she heard a bump from the outside. She got up and poked her head from the passageway. It was none other than Setsuna Suzaku.

"W-Who are you? Are you my savior?" said Shihon.

"No, no. I'm an Angel," said Setsuna. "My name is Setsuna Suzaku."

"Setsuna? Do you know where my mother is?" said Shihon. "Oh, and my name is Shihon Rosella Evergreen. My mother's name is Elaine Evergreen."

"Hello, Shihon. I can help you find your mother, but some of us are too busy saving the princess."

"She's right here," said Shihon. Mugen waved at Setsuna and smiled at her.

"P-Princess? What are doing here?"

"The maidens told me to hide away from Shogun. They're going to tell him that I ran away for three months in order for me to hide the dress from him, and to escape! They're awesome. *laughs*"

"Well, let's get you out of here. I'll let the others know that I'm taking you with me. *gets out communicator* Kotone! Momo! I'm taking Princess Mugen with me! Make sure you destroy all the Shadow Chimeras within the palace. Oh, and try to- Hello? Guys?" Her communication between Kotone, Momo herself was cut short. On the other line, Kotone and Momo were caught by a couple of guards, just seconds after Setsuna had told them that she's going to take Princess Mugen back to the BlasSphere Galaxy.

"Talking to one of your Angel friends, huh? Well then, I guess you two would have to meet Princes Shogun and talk to him instead. *chuckles*" The guard told them while laughing. The guard next to him (Tetsu Fukuhara) sweatdropped and pointed his sword at Momo's face.

"Don't move," said Tetsu. Momo grinned and held the blade.

"Hehe.. Don't think that you can scare me... I don't hurt that easily."

"M-Momo?" said Kotone softly. Momo called for her Black Radiant Bow and Arrows and grinned some more. She got out an arrow, and threatened to kill Tetsu if he ever pointed his sword at Momo again. Tetsu'scomrade alerted other guards to come and fight Kotone and Momo while they get Tetsu into safety.

"*gasps* There's m-more of them?" said Kotone.

"Ugh! Don't be such a coward, Kotone!Do what you're supposed to do! Fight!" Momo ordered. Kotone nodded and got out her Silver Radiant Bow and Arrows. She got out an arrow and shouted, "Shining Navigation! Silver Lining Pierce!" releasing the shining silver arrow, striking a guard.

"Now, what were you going to do with that sword of yours, sir?" said Momo.

"*sighs* Nothing. It's no use," said Tetsu. Momo laughed.

"Then what?" said Momo.

"*grumbles8 You're too beautiful to destroy.."

"Huh? What's that?"

"I said that you're too beautiful to destroy!" Tetsu excalimed, causing his comrades to stop fighting with the Angels.

"Tetsu, what are you saying? She's one of Mugen's1 One of Shogun's bride's army!" said one guard. Tetsu shook his head and looked back at his comrades.

"No... Mugen doesn't have an army. All she have are three BlasSphere Angels... What do you mean she has an army? She doesn't."

"Why are you saying this, Tetsu?" said Momo. Tetsu walked over to her and hugged her.

"I'm sorry for all of this," said Tetsu. Momo bit Tetsu's shoulder and growled at him.

"An enemy is an enemy until he realizes what he has done to the good. He must make up for what he has done in order to show his true self to the good... Those are the simple rules... AND YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING ANY OF THEM!" Momo exclaimed. Some guards nodded and agreed with Momo, who looked at them and just stared. Tetsu looked down and apologized for his ruler has done, and that he's going to do everything to make things better.

"And you just met me, so why are-"

"I'll do ANYTHING to save your galaxy from further destruction. I will."

"Tetsu, you stubborn boy! Only BlasSphere Angels can protect their own galaxy! Not outsiders!"

"You are wrong, Momo!" shouted Princess Mugen from behind. Rika, Setsuna and Shihon were following her, too.

"Setsuna! Rika!" said Momo, not acknowledging Shihon at all.

"Momo... ANYONE can defend our galaxy..."

"Princess Mugen, Love told us that-"

"Then she has lied as well! I did not say anything like that!" said Mugen. Shihon hid behind Rika and shivered.

"She's scaring me, Rika.. Do something," said Shihon. Rika held onto Shihon and hugged her. Claire and Blaire came running toward them.

"We're here!" said Claire. Blaire laughed and panted.

"Let's just go, Princess Mugen," said Setsuna. Mugen nodded and held hands with her, flying back to the BlasSphere Galaxy.

"Please forgive me next time, Momo," said Tetsu. Momo turned away from him and walked away. Rika looked at all of the guards watching Momo walking away from Tetsu.

"How old is that guy anyway?" Rika asked herself, and walked over to Tetsu to ask how old he is. He answered 16, which made Rika shiver.

"Momo's like that sometimes," said Kotone. Claire and Blaire watched the stars shoot across the dark blue sky.

"8sighs* She'll forgive me... someday," said Tetsu.


While the Hiram Maidens were trying to stop Shogun from finding Mugen, Elaine and Maria decided to team up and go their own way to stop Shogun... They decided to destroy the Shadow Chimeras and blame it on the guards except for Tetsu, who is known for helping the maidens with anything they needed help with.

"Are you sure that this is gonna work? I mean, without the rest of the maidens, we're no good," said Maria. Elaine nodded and got out a sword to strike the Shadow Chimeras.

"Shogun will never marry Mugen for sure," said Elaine. Shogun was listening to the two talk about destroying the Shadow Chimeras and about him not going to marry Mugen. He appeared in the doorway and scared them both.

"I heard what you two girls have said.."

"S-S-Shogun?" said the two maidens.

"Hehe.. You two are going to pay for this, and I mean pay.."

"Now, now..." said Elaine. Maria blocked Elaine and pointed the sword at Shogun's throat.

"One step closer towards us and your head will be mine," said the fierce Maria.

"*thinking: Oh, I forgot. She is a skilled swordswoma, a very young swordswoman with skill.* Maria, can you handle this?" said Elaine. Maria nodded and told her to leave.

"It's just you and me now," said Maria. Shogun laughed and got out his sword too. A new war has begun...
