Chapter 10: Angel Wings Spread For the Light!
Vermouth was still standing in the field. He grabbed a small patch of grass and said, "It feels real but is this truly reality?" He saw a figure far away and noticed that it was Apricot. "The younger princess?" he asked. Apricot was wearing a dress similar to her sister's with the small wings. She also had a halo crown. He walked over to her and asked. "Is it really you young one?" "You…" she said. He nodded. "You are part of the Hell Hounds aren't you then how come are you here?" she asked. "I don't know but the only thing I only remembered was that I was swallowed up by your sister's light." He answered. "That explains it." She said. "One question, what is this place?" he asked her. "It is the future. My sister had this vision inside of her for a long time of the Lucky Star Kingdom and it's the only future that Ranpha doesn't know about either." She answered as she got up. "Where's your sister?" he asked. "I don't know, you did say that you and her both were sucked up by her light, she might be somewhere else or maybe not in this world." She answered. "Then let's find her." He said. "You are the only one who can find her, unfortunately I can't help." She told him. "Why!?" he asked. "I don't know." She answered. "Listen little one, you maybe the princess in line back in the present but it doesn't mean you can't be useful, you have the same light and you did come to Cerberus to save her, right?" he asked. She nodded. "Then help me find her! Who knows what is happening to the others right now!" he told her. "You're right, come on, let's go!" she exclaimed and started running. He followed her. Princess Milfeulle, hold on we're coming to get you! He thought to himself.
"So, the remaining three girls have been shot down." Eonia said as the Hell Hounds reported to them on the big screen monitor. "Yes sir, they won't be bothering us anymore." Riserva answered. "Too bad our comrade, Guinness Stout, was shot down." Camus reported. "His sacrifice will be most treasured since he continued with the plan unlike the traitorous Vermouth." Red-Eye said. "Well boys, make sure those girls are dead for sure by finding them, if they aren't dead, kill them." Eonia said. "Yes sir!" they all exclaimed and the screen went off. "Guinness' life is not the only one that was sacrificed, also Sherry's life went down the same road." Eonia said. He looked over at the still lit planet and said, "It is still beautiful, the light still burns." Back inside the world of Milfeulle, Apricot lead Vermouth to the palace which had some of its parts ruined while the rest still stood. "Are you sure that she is here?" Vermouth asked. Apricot nodded. "Well, here goes." He said as he went inside. Apricot followed him. They were walking down the hall and they arrived at the ruined throne room. They saw Milfeulle in ice. "Sister!" Apricot yelled. Vermouth ran over to her and hit the ice with a folded fist. "Damn! It can't be!" Vermouth exclaimed. "I guess her unconsciousness was a lot worser than mine." Apricot said. "We better get her out of this block of ice!" Vermouth told her. She nodded and went over to it and said, "Sister, please, wake up, everyone needs you! They want you back! You can't die now, your light is what brings life to our home!" "Please princess, you are needed yet again, the other girls maybe in danger even though they did risk their lives in the fight to save you!" Vermouth yelled. "Even take a look for yourself!" Apricot exclaimed as her star glowed and images of Ranpha, Vanilla, Normad, and Mint lying in their angel frames. Then an image of Forte lying on the floor of the lab lying in a puddle of blood. Then the image of Chitose with the shards of her star charm on the floor. "These girls risked their lives to save you like when you saved them! You saved Forte from her grief after losing her friends when they got attacked, Mint when her parents kicked her out when she decided not to take on the family fortune, you even changed Ranpha's hurtful ways of hurting people with her powers, and you saved Chitose's life! While Vanilla looked up to you as a role model!" Apricot exclaimed. They noticed that the star was starting to glow inside and the ice started to melt a little bit. "You even changed me and my evil ways, even though I ended up almost dead but I was able to survive because of your light, please princess, wake up!" he yelled. The ice melted and she fell over and Vermouth ran over to her. "Vermouth….Rico?" she asked. "Yes." Vermouth said. "Sis…" Apricot said and the clothes she was wearing disappeared and the imperial clothing she wore from before reappeared. "Now, time to return to the present everyone and bring the life back to everyone!" Milfeulle exclaimed. Both Vermouth and Apricot nodded. Milfeulle closed her eyes and her star glowed bright.
"Mint, Ranpha, Vanilla, Normad, wake up!" the three girls heard. "Princess?" Mint asked as she woke up. "Is that you?" Ranpha asked as she opened her eyes in her subconsciousness. Vanilla and Normad did the same thing. "Yes it's me, you three risked your lives and now it's my turn to help you! Now wake up and spread your wings and take those hell plates down!" Milfeulle exclaimed. Their stars glowed bright and they woke up and Harvester, Trick Master, and Kung-Fu Fighter all started glowing. "What the!?" Red-Eye asked. "What the hell is going on!?" Riserva asked. "I thought they were dead!" Camus yelled. They watched the frames glow a silver glow and healing the damage that was inflicted during the fight. Also from the light wings spread out of the frames. "What the!?" Red-Eye asked. "Are those wings?" Riserva asked. "Now it's our turn to take you down!" They heard Mint say. The frames went after them and they started fighting again. "Forte, wakey wakey!" Forte heard and she opened her eyes half way and asked, "Princess?" "Yes it's me, you heart is still beating, now go and help the others!" Milfeulle exclaimed. She nodded and her star glowed and her wound healed. She gasped in surprise. She got up and ran back to Happy Trigger and went inside of it and sat in the chair and the halo appeared on her head and the star synchronized with it and her frame sprouted wings as she took off. "Chitose, CHitose!" Chitose heard and said, "Princess, I am so sorry I tried to take Eonia down." Chitose said. "It's all right, I am okay, your star is already healed, take a look!" Milfeulle told her. She opened her eyes and saw it whole again and gasped. "Now take it and help the others!" she told Chitose. "But what about you!?" Chitose asked. "Don't worry about me, I will return in one piece and I promise!" she told her. Chitose nodded and sat up and took her star and placed it back on her choker and ran back to Sharp Shooter and took off and it also spread wings. In the Lucky Star and Cross Caliber, the cables, plugs, and cages released both of the frames. Milfeulle and Apricot woke up in their respective cockpits. "Thank goodness, Apricot you okay?" Vermouth asked. "Yes!" she answered. "Now, let's get out of here!" Vermouth exclaimed. "Wait, I need to finish something first." Milfeulle said. "What?" he asked. "Vermouth, I need you to leave with Rico, I have to talk to Eonia, it's time to finish this once and for all." She answered. "Good luck princess, I will be waiting for you once I get out of her safely." Vermouth told her. She nodded and said, "Now go!" she told him. He left Lucky Star and ran inside the Cross Caliber and said, "Take off!" "Right!" Apricot exclaimed as she did so and headed back towards the Lucky Ciel. Please come back safe sis! Apricot thought to herself.
