Animal Crossing In Action: Duo Of Justice
Chapter 32: New Memories And New Life
Phantom Angel cried over Masked Swordmaster who was now unconscious after he defeated Allen. Serena and Neon were very sad that he was still not awake. Few moments later, something was glowing from Phantom Angel's chest. It magically appeared from her heart, and it turned out to be the light pure crystal. It was starting to shine very brightly and creating another pure crystal for Masked Swordmaster. It purified his body and started to recover him from his injuries. Serena and Neon were very surprised that the pure crystal could actually do that.
After it was over, one pure crystal returned to Phantom Angel's heart and another infused to Masked Swordmaster's heart. He suddenly breathed normally and opened his eyes that Phantom Angel was so relieved that her boyfriend was fully recovered. He placed his hand on her cheek to touch her very lightly. As soon as they were smiling at each other, they were hugging together very tightly. Serena and Neon were very glad that they were starting to chuckle very lightly. When the Duo of Justice were staring at each other, Masked Swordmaster suddenly came up in realization.
"Oh Phantom Angel, that reminds me..." said Masked Swordmaster. "Do you remember when you said you want to restore Emblem now that we have the pure crystal powers?"
"Oh yeah, that's right!" said Phantom Angel. "I did remember saying that! So, I will give it all I've got!"
Phantom Angel used her crystal staff to restore Emblem with Serena's help. Until few seconds later, everyone felt the ground shaking very fast. They tried to stand still as they could during the earthquake. All of the sudden, they saw several cracks on the ground and noticed that the edges of the land began to crumble into pieces.
"Oh no, what's happening now?" Phantom Angel asked in panic.
"Oh, I was afraid this would happen..." said Neon. "When the dark poison crystal was destroyed, this ruined town will collapse into the deep sea!"
"What? But we have to restore this town right away!"
"I'm afraid we're too late for that!" Serena exclaimed. "There's no other choice, but to escape now!"
"Then, we've got to get out of here before we'll fall into the depths of the ocean!" Masked Swordmaster exclaimed. "Phantom Angel, do something and hurry!"
"Right!" Phantom Angel agreed, as she used her crystal staff to summon the portal. "Phantom teleportation portal!"
Everyone quickly entered the portal before it closed down and the land began to collapse into the ocean. While they were on their way back to StarLily, Phantom Angel and Masked Swordmaster were holding onto each other and the guardians were floating above them. Phantom Angel held the tiny dark poison crystal, she found on the ground, with her two fingers; and it was the last remain before it turned into a speck of dust and disappeared.
"Whoa, did you see that?" Phantom Angel asked. "That dark poison crystal suddenly disappeared after it turned into a speck of dust."
"Yeah, just like the bubble had a short amount of time before it pops," said Masked Swordmaster, changing his subject. "Say, Phantom Angel, when you asked me about what I'll be doing in my life right after Allen was gone..."
"Yes? Do you have an answer to that?"
Masked Swordmaster nodded. "I certainly do. Even we may have failed to restore Emblem which I don't care about it anymore, but there's one thing I care about is...you. That's right, all I want is to spend the rest of my life with you!"
Phantom Angel blushed slightly and said, "Oh Robert...I-I want to spend the rest of my life with you, too!"
"Oh Vicki, I love you..."
"I love you, too, Robert..."
After the bittersweet moment between the Duo of Justice, Phantom Angel and Masked Swordmaster were kissing together while they were still holding onto each other. They nearly forgot about Serena and Neon who were floating above them. So, the guardians kept quiet about it and watched the dynamic duo from above.
Meanwhile in StarLily, people and animals were still standing at the town plaza. Especially Nick, Serenity, Lorelei, and Darren who weren't expecting the crowd to wait that long since Masked Swordmaster left. Suddenly, the light came out of nowhere in front of the town tree and the Duo of Justice had finally return in one piece. Surprisingly, they didn't expect the crowd to wait for them for too long. Although, they were very happy that they had return safe and sound.
"D-Don't look at me, I didn't tell them to wait here for our return..." said Masked Swordmaster, as he was glancing at Phantom Angel who gave him an awkward stare.
"Of course you didn't," said Isabelle, who was standing behind the white knight. "S-Sorry, we didn't mean to startle you like this...It's just that..."
"Oh no, it's fine, Isabelle, really!" said Phantom Angel. "Y-You guys were just worried about us, do you?"
"Y-Yeah, maybe so...But anyways, is it okay if I can give you an interview for just a moment here?"
"Yeah, sure thing!" the Duo of Justice replied in unison.
Several days after Isabelle interviewed with the Duo of Justice, Vicki started to read the front headline with the big picture of the dynamic duo. Robert stopped by at the town hall and immediately saw her at the office. She took a glimpse at him and quickly left the office with the newspaper in her hand. She showed him the front headline, and they were very glad about it.
"You know, Isabelle did a great job on the headline!" said Vicki happily.
"Yeah, she sure did alright!" Robert agreed.
"Why, thank you very much, you two!" said Isabelle happily. "Oh, Mayor Vicki...If only you were there with me, you would be so proud that the Duo of Justice saved the day from the evil threat! When they explained to me about what happened, it gives me the goosebumps and the excitement! Don't you think you feel the same way as I am?"
"O-Of course, I feel the same way as you do, Isabelle!" Vicki replied. "That's good for the Duo of Justice! Action takes flight as they always say!"
"I couldn't agree more!" said Robert. "Now if you'll excuse us, we're going to have some time together."
After Vicki and Robert said goodbye to Isabelle, they left the town hall and went to the town tree to sit down together. While they were laughing with each other happily, they immediately saw the airplane flew by. Vicki saw it for the second time and it made her realize something.
"Say, Robert...ever since I saw the airplane for the first time, I was beginning to wish I could get on there so I can travel places," Vicki explained. "I was curious though...do you ever think about getting on the airplane to travel the world or the island?"
"Come to think of it, I do," Robert replied. "I always wish to get on the airplane, too."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"If you really mean it, then I want to go with you! Seriously, that settles it! Let's leave StarLily together so we will go by the airplane! It doesn't matter of where it will take us, and we will be staying there together! What do you say, Robert?"
"Oh Vicki...if you're planning to go to the unknown destination with me by the airplane, then who's going to be the mayor of StarLily?"
"Ah, I think I know the right person who will become the future mayor of StarLily…"
Several days after Vicki talked to Isabelle about her consideration of StarLily's future mayor, people and animals had gather around the town plaza. The dog secretary was ready to announce the new mayor of StarLily who would willing to take Vicki's place. So, the crowd paid attention to her as she was starting to speak up.
"Attention everyone, I will like to announce the new mayor of StarLily!" Isabelle announced. "Please allow me to introduce your new mayor...Mayor Nick!"
The crowd began to applause when Nick stepped in and waved at them. Since he's no longer an employee of Nook's Homes, he wore a light blue shirt with a black tie and a dark grey pants. Everybody was cheering on him when he said, "Thank you! Thank you! You're too kind!" Sammy and Jimmy weren't pleased about this, but they didn't seem to care at all. Suddenly, the raccoon named Tom Nook came to see Isabelle and asked her if he could make an announcement. So, she told him to go right ahead and Nick moved away.
"Um, attention everyone..." Tom Nook announced, as the crowd started to pay attention to him. "I have an announcement to make...You see, I've been thinking a lot lately, yes yes...so I decided to tell you something very important to get this off my chest. Here it goes...I, Tom Nook, the president of Nook's Homes, have decided to resign my position."
The crowd was bewildered in confusion of why Tom Nook was resigning his position, not even Nick knew about this. So, the raccoon continued his speech before the crowd started to react so sudden.
"But there's more if I daresay..." said Tom Nook. "I know someone who will take my place, and he deserves to get promoted as the president of Nook's Homes. Allow me to introduce your new president and my dear friend, Lyle!"
The blue otter with the glasses stepped up in front of the crowd and waved at them while they were applauding. Everybody was so grateful that Nick became the mayor of StarLily and Lyle became the president of Nook's Homes. Those were the best announcements of StarLily that they could ever had in their entire lifetime. Isabelle decided to throw a party at the town plaza and everybody agreed with her.
It's been over a night since Isabelle decided to have a party at the town plaza. Nick, Serenity, Lorelei, and Darren were sitting at the log bench, drinking their juice. Nick put his arm around Serenity and Lorelei cuddled up with Darren while they were looking at the moonlight. Few seconds later, the two couples were kissing on the beautiful night.
At the town plaza, Sammy and Jimmy decided to do the conga dance. While the music was playing by DJ KK, the animals were joining the twins and doing the conga dance with them. Sammy was the lead, Jimmy was second, Isabelle was third, Tom Nook was fourth, and the other animals were right behind them. They were dancing to the rhythm and enjoying their time together.
At the beach, Vicki and Robert were sitting on the sandy ground and watching the ocean waves. She laid her head on his shoulder and his head was next to hers. They slowly touched their fingers before they held their hands. Finally, they glanced at each other with their smiling faces.
"Well, Vicki, are you ready to leave this town by tomorrow?" Robert asked.
"Yes, I'm so ready for this!" Vicki replied. "What about you, Robert?"
"Oh, I'm ready whenever you are!"
Vicki and Robert chuckled happily as they were kissing each other under the moonlight. Katrina, Serena, and Neon were watching over them from the top of the hill. The panther smiled broadly when StarLily was in peace once again.
"I knew that their bonds are unbreakable, thanks to their secretive power," said Katrina.
"Um, what secretive power, Katrina?" Serena asked.
"There is something that those two have that no one else does..."
"And what could that be?" Neon asked.
"That secretive power is called...miracle romance."
Serena and Neon didn't quite understand of what Katrina was saying. They just blinked their eyes while they were looking at her.
"E-Excuse me?" said Neon, being confused.
"C-Can you repeat that one more time and explain please?" Serena asked.
"Miracle romance is the most powerful bond that those two have," Katrina explained. "It's the power that the dynamic duo have created since they first met. Not only this power could make them stronger, but it creates the pure crystal as well..."
Serena and Neon were fully understand of Katrina's explanation. Her eyes were sparkling while she was watching over Vicki and Robert who were still kissing together. Then, she closed her eyes and sighed when she realized that they were planning to leave the town within the next day.
One day later, Vicki and Robert were getting on the airplane along with Tom Nook and the Nookling twins, Timmy and Tommy. Everybody, in town, were very sad to see them go somewhere around the world. As soon as the airplane was ready for take off, they were all waving and saying goodbye. When the airplane flew higher and higher, Nick and Lorelei ran off until they reached to the end to see their older siblings for their final time. Vicki and Robert looked at the window and saw their younger siblings waving at them for the final time. So, they waved them back whether they saw them or not.
With Allen and his retainers were now gone along with the dark poison crystal, StarLily was in peace once again. Nick became the new mayor of StarLily and Lyle became the new president of Nook's Homes. Timmy and Tommy decided to let Darren to be charge of Nooklings' store. Some animal villagers went to the mineral exhibit to take a picture of the pure crystal that the Duo of Justice donated it from another day. Blathers added the protection around it to make sure that the crystal was safe and sound.
Serena and Neon were on top of the airplane for a ride without being contacted by the animals and humans, except Vicki and Robert. While Timmy, Tommy, and Tom Nook were asleep, Vicki and Robert were very excited that they were riding in the airplane for the first time. Vicki was very glad that she finally found someone who became her first true love. Robert was very happy that he finally found someone who really loved him and became his real true love. The duo kissed for the final time before they fell asleep. Nobody would know what their destination could await them. Wherever they're heading, they surely would live happily together.
