Chapter 36: Break is Over

All three girls got spat out of the phone and as their bodies floated in midair, their flight eventually stopped as they entered the bubble.

Angel looked and saw her cat. "Luna!"

Sakura asked, "Is another world in danger again?"

Angel commented "She catches on quick."

The bubble began moving fast and Angel commented with a panicky voice "Here we go again."

Sakura asked, "What do you mean?"

Then the bubble dropped straight down like a rollercoaster and the girls began screaming!

Sakura yelled "No! I don't wanna die here! Why do I always have to fall out of nowhere?!"

Vanessa who began tearing yelled "What are you talking about?! This is the fourth time I've had to go through the Eto Rangers landing!"

"Even the landing is like Eto Rangers?! Oh man!"

Angel just kept praying to God with her eyes shut then Vanessa began to pray to Buddha "Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

Luna began screeching loudly and crying as their bodies became animated while entering the new world.

The strangest thing happened though. The bubble hit a barrier. There was a loud crackle and electric shock.

This caused cracks to appear throughout the bubble.

"I-Is this supposed to happen?" Vanessa asked nervously.

The bubble was magical, so it split into four different bubbles, each member was in their own bubble and their individual bubbles flew in different directions.

"Ahhh! No! I'm all alone! Why?!" yelled Vanessa in a panicked tone.

But before she could continue fretting or say anything more, her bubble landed and popped! The foam covered Vanessa's entire body and she could hear a harp. When she looked down, she was wearing a blue sleeveless dress with a white button-down shirt underneath, a white apron, and brown ballet flats on her feet.

"W-What? Why am I wearing Belle's outfit?!"

She touched her face "What happened? Why do I look like Belle?"

Vanessa turned her face left and right "At least I still have my dark brown eyes."

Unnoticed by Vanessa, a silhouette came up from behind her and snatched her! She screamed as loud as she could, but her kidnapper ignored her and threw her into a black carriage headed somewhere…

Inside the carriage, Vanessa's terror stunned her into silence. She curled up into a ball and began crying onto her apron.

Here she was, all alone and kidnapped. Why did the man kidnap her? What did he want from her?

Vanessa continued to cry for a long time until she looked out the window and had a foreboding feeling that the carriage was taking her somewhere far away. She had to get out of here. But she had no idea what to do and tears spilled out of her eyes again.

Her phone began ringing and she was shocked, pulled it out, and saw a picture of a black cat and the caller id said "Luna". She recalled that she had magic.

The mysterious man turned to her and asked, "What is that thing?"

Vanessa hid her phone behind her then waved her hand in an attempt to throw the man with her powers, but he grabbed her hand and asked, "What do you think you're doing?"

Vanessa grit her teeth and wiggled her fingers causing the black hood that covered the man's face to fall off.

"Gaston?!"

Vanessa had a feeling the voice was familiar. It turned out to be that jerk after all!

Gaston had an irritating smirk as he said, "In the flesh."

She just opened her mouth then someone hit her neck from behind and she knocked out.

Gaston hit Lefou in the head.

"Ow! What was that for?!" Lefou held both sides of his head.

"That was for hurting Belle."

"But you said to knock her out!"

Gaston closed his eyes as he placed his hand over his forehead "Yes. But, couldn't you have done it more gently?"

"Um...Probably not."

Gaston sighed. "Fine. But, don't let this happen again."

Lefou raised his hands as he replied "I got it! Once she's Madame Gaston, no hands on her."

Gaston smirked "Of course. I'll just let the prince think she's his for now, take the money, then come rescue her from the monster the prince really is."

Lefou started chuckling in a sinister tone that others might've thought was funny as he played with his fingers.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the castle.

Vanessa's unconscious body was lifted by Gaston bridal style. He walked up the stairs and the doors opened by itself. Gaston continued to move forward as if the sight was nothing new. He kept walking until he entered the open room at the end of the hall.

He saw an old man begging on his knees in front of a shadowy figure. As he got closer to the shadowy figure, he heard the old man say "Please, please. Take me instead. Please leave my daughter out of this."

The shadowy figure ignored the old man and spoke in a monotone voice "Show me the girl."

Gaston moved forward until he was facing the shadowy figure who was Prince Adam.

Gaston placed the unconscious Vanessa on top of the carpet.

He closed his eyes as he spoke in a haughty tone "I've brought the girl as you requested, your Highness."

Vanessa began to slowly open her eyes and when she sat up, she could see that she was inside some kind of fancy building. On her left was Prince Adam and Maurice! And on the right was the jerk, Gaston.

When Maurice made eye contact with Vanessa, he looked shocked.

Vanessa asked "W-What's going on here?"

Maurice cried "Oh, Belle, my poor daughter!" He ran towards her and hugged her so tightly.

"Um...Sir… I'm not…"

Maurice squeezed her tighter which made Vanessa grab Maurice's clothing "I… I can't breathe…"

Unfortunately, she couldn't resist the old man's grasp and she fell into darkness once more.

Meanwhile…

Angel and Sakura were separated and trying to locate their other team members within the village. Both were wearing village girl dresses. Angel was wearing a yellow dress with a white apron while Sakura wore a pink dress with a white apron.

After a while, Sakura had no luck finding anyone else until she heard Angel call her name! She turned her head back while she was walking, and she bumped into someone!

Sakura closed her eyes in pain "Ow…"

When she looked up, she saw a brunette with her head lowered.

"Oh my God. I am so sorry. Are you ok?" She immediately stood up.

The brunette lifted her head and said "Oh, yes. I'm fine. I'm sorry for not paying attention as well."

"Belle?!"
