Chapter 2

A Battle of Knives and Darkness

(Marisa Pov)

As we were walking through the forest I noticed ruffling in the bushes but, paid it no mind while Hazama made a comment in a whisper"Seems we've got others following us." I then looked back and said

"Yeah not surprising a lot of the forest wildlife is probably not used to you ya know from being new around here and all." just after I said that multiple little forms gathered in front of us they were fairies normal annoying fairies. I then heard Hazama make a comment one of his usually closed eyes cracked open enough to see the golden snake like eye glowing under his hat.

"So this is what you meant before when you told me about little roadblocks here and there well to best deal with this I say we beat the everliving shit out of them...agreed?" near the end his voice gained a hint of insanity before he went back to normal with a shrug and I pulled out a spell card giving a slightly cruel grin

"Sure they're gonna attack us anyway." to be quick on the explanation the best word to describe what happened was that it was a complete slaughter on the faires side of things. Hazama did a heavy kick into one of the fairies before using a chain with a snake head to latch onto her and throw her into her friends. As if to add onto it all he then used light green binding circles to seal them in place giving me a signal. I pointed the mini-hakkero at the faires calling out

"Love Sign:Master Spark!" the beam decimated the fairies leaving only dust from where they once stood.

"Well now that was some trick Marisa." I nodded before saying

"Yeah well not as impressive as that chain of yours what is it?" he chuckled as a black-green portal appeared at his side as a chain extended around his body from the portal and he said

"This my dear little witch is Geminus Anguium: Ouroboros my weapon." it didn't explain much on what it was but, I guess I can learn more about it as we go so whatever. We kept walking finally reaching the gate we found China asleep...again.

"Usually I would just walk right into the mansion but, with how I have Hazama with me I guess I should have some tact….until I'm inside." I walked over to her and flicked her on the head snapping her out of her slumber which caused me to jump back as she let off a strong right hook that would have knocked my head off if it landed.

"Who,,whaaa…?!" she looked at me and Hazama for a second he once again whispered in my ear saying

"Well isn't she just the guard of the year award winner?" I chuckled before saying

"Yeah though don't underestimate her in close range she could stomp an oni's head in." nodding at my warning I then said "Hey China been a while I'm here to talk to Patch it's urgent and it deals with my friend behind me." she looked to see Hazama who walked over and introduced himself hands in his pocket.

(Hazama Pov)

"My name is Hazama it's a pleasure miss China." she seemed distressed as she said

"My name isn't China it's Meiling and why should I trust you?!" that's when I heard a sniffle behind me to see Marisa holding her hat down against her chest and her eyes were watering giving them a twinkle.

"Bu..but big sis Meiling Patchy said I could come see her as long as I didn't blow a wall up to get in or sneak by you so please." she was so on the verge of tears that even I was about to stand up for her but the 19 maybe 20 year old woman broke first wrapping the 18 teen year old girl in a hug saying she was sorry and that we could pass. After bowing and telling her thank you we entered then, Marisa snickered at the closed door saying

"What a sucker." I was absolutely shocked the about in tears vulnerable little 18 year old that had me about to argue for her completely disappeared and a mischievous smirk appeared on her face as she asked me

"So what did you think of the performance Hazama?" I looked at her surprised before saying

"Well you got me that's for sure don't think that means it'll ever work when it comes to something I'm against though." she just gave me a smirk which told me exactly what she was thinking

"Anyways let's get to patch's library it's this way." she said walking towards a hallway when I quickly entered the serpent's benediction stance and called out

"Falling Fang!" the lunging kick collided with a knife that a woman in a maid outfit was holding which would have been dangerously close to burying itself into Marisa's head if it weren't for my shoe taking the hit. I then while she readied for a second attack did a quick activation doing a frontflip kick calling out"Rising Fang!" she was out of the way annoyingly enough before it could land though.

"Sakuya the hell is up with the sudden attack!" Marisa yelled at the previously unknown attack who said

"You are invading milady's home once again black-white though this time you have brought a new thief friend of yours." she stated and this time I growled out

"Hold it right there shitty maid me and Marisa are acting on an invitation from her friend who lives in the library here so if you could kindly get your ass out of the way before I kick it to the curb that would be nice of you." Marisa looked shocked while Sakuya as she was called did not seem to be entertained and she then growled out

"And who would you be again?" I chuckled taking my hat off I did a bow and said

"My name is Hazama currently I'm traveling with Marisa to get some answers about something that doesn't concern you at all so step out of the way shitty maid." I put my hat back on adjusting it before following up with"And no we're not after taking anything we just need some help with something and miss Patchouli could help us." she then said an ice cold glare locked onto me

"I'm sorry to disappoint you both but, I will not allow you to go any further so please drag yourselves out of here." I did a shrug and turned around making it seem like I was about to leave until in seconds I flicked the knife I had originally blocked at her impaling it into the wall from the force there was a slight cut on her cheek which slowly bled as I said cracking an eye open to give her a one-eyed glare.

"Well as much as I'd like to avoid fighting." I stopped myself before letting my voice take on a small hint of insanity both my eyes open glowing yellow while laughing out"Looks like we're cutting our way through hahahaha!"

"I see you're going to be more problematic than I thought and same goes for you black-white." she was about to throw a knife in Marisa's direction but, I yelled

"Ouroboros!" the chain nearly caught her as I felt as if time stopped in a similar fashion to how Hakky's Kokuujin Ougi crap works. She was behind me and I dodged away before saying "Well now isn't that a neat trick let me show you some of mine!"

(SWR Sakuya -Flowering Night)

She held something in her hands a card of some sort and said "Conjuring "Illusional Misdirection" a large burst of magical energy and knives came flying in my direction I just sighed this would be more annoying than it's worth I tilted my hat and at last second I called out

"Jayoku Houtenjin!" Splitting in two I completely disappeared until reappearing in front of her landing a devastating kick to her lower jaw while sending her flying but I wasn't done yet she stopped time for a second to recover mid air but I launched my attack aiming for where she would be after she recovered"Hungering Coil!" it gripped her leg by a hair and I brought her down to the ground slamming her against the floor before green circles sealed her in place as I laughed out "Mizuuchi Rekkazan!" dragging her over to me I began rapidly cutting her up with my knives before growling"Feels good don't it?!" and then with three serpents behind me I did a forward stab knocking her a good distance away as she groaned in pain from the heavy assault.

" it what are you." she growled trying to stand up and I then tipped my hat as I said insanity dripping from every word

"Oh nothing much just an artificial human now c'mon shitty maid didn't you imply you were going to put me in my place hahaha!" she growled again pulling out another card I prepared myself to follow the same trick again when she said

"Maid Secret Skill: Killing Doll!" the knives became almost impossible to dodge razor wires that were more sharper and deadly than anything she could have thrown at me I dodged through some while I got hit by others and then to add onto the pain she got up close and did quick slashes on me before stopping time and sending a rain of knives into my body. I hissed in pain as she said

"That is your punishment for trespassing if you wish not to die I would go and leave." Marisa I could tell was about to jump in when I chuckled before straightening myself out. I then said

"You know I was planning on being nice and letting you go without to many cuts and bruises but, if you're asking to feel some real pain then you'll get exactly what you want you shitty ass maid." I felt my insanity take full control as I yelled"I'm Sending you to hell!" activating my overdrive I then said "Jayoku Houtenjin!" this time there wasn't a second to react as I teleported in front of her delivering another devastating kick to her gut and before she could recover I used a ouroboros chain to drag her over to me as I growled out

"Orochi Burenso!" I then caught her in a sealing barrier before doing a raising knee and then slamming her into the ground with my foot downwards and after landing I began stomping down on her head repeatedly finishing the move off by grinding my foot into her head saying "What a weak little pest you aren't worth my time." I then kicked her in the chin launching her in the air and delivered a kick into her stomach while dark energy covered my foot in the form of a snake she slammed into the wall unconscious.

(End music)

"Man what a pain in the ass that was" I said picking my hat back up before looking at Marisa who was stunned silent. Before stuttering out

"Th..that was so badass I've never seen moves like those before!" I chuckled at her starry eyed reaction while picking my hat off as it had fallen off during the last attack. We then went back to going to the library within the mansion.

(Ragna Pov)

After the most exhausting training I've been through since Jubei's nightmare of a regime we take a break. "You know i'm impressed I haven't seen someone pick danmaku up this quickly." Reimu said while taking a sip of tea while I simply responded

"Yeah well kind've had to or else I would have been pummeled into a pulp." she nodded in agreement to my then got up and said

"Well how about I take you into town so you can meet some of the other people I know as a reward." I just chuckled at that

"Yeah sure whatever and to be exact I don't see how it would be a reward." she shrugged before saying

"Well you get to see the beauty of nature before we get there." I rolled my eyes at her and stood up my back slightly sore from where a magic orb hit me dead in the back. I then went clipped bloodscythe to my back and we headed for the the way there I had a shiver go down my spine and Reimu remarked

"Oh is the reaper cold?" I then growled

"Hell no I just got the feeling there is some bad shit going down somewhere and it has to do with an unwanted part of my past." Reimu chuckled and then said

"Ehh well just ignore it even if it is something bad we'll here about it eventually." I deadpanned at her lazy attitude and decided to keep following her it couldn't be too bad right? As we closed in on the village we were ambushed by a group of fairies but, before Reimu could do anything I did a high speed lunging slash with my sword roaring

"Carnage scissors!" after the blade connected with the first fairy I the flipped it forward calling out"I'll devour ya!" the explosion of darkness wiped the out the rest and I reset my sword saying"Way too damn easy." Reimu just lightly clapped at the attack saying

"Whoo good job that was an excellent example of what danmaku is not." her voice was bland and I responded

"Hey I agreed to play by the rules when it came to one of your friends not the little annoyances that can get one shot." she looked at me not entertained at my answer she responded

"You know what we shouldn't argue about it let's just get to the village." right as we came into the village we walked over to a schoolhouse

"Uhh Reimu is it a good idea for us to just walk in." she looked at me and shrugged

"I sometimes have to come here for stuff besides I know the teacher so it should be fine." she waved her hand casually before opening the door saying

"Hi Keine." the woman in question looked up along with the class of four girls she responded with a smile

"Hello Reimu here to join us in class today instead of home study?" she looked hopeful and...Reimu crushed her expectations responding

"Nah I just wanted you to meet my new friend." she said pointing at me the children also starred as the woman known as Keine walked over to me introducing herself

"I'm Keine Kamishirasawa a pleasure to meet you mr." her hand was out so I could shake it so I gave her a smile and said

"Name's Ragna it's nice to meet you." after that the kids had shot up and pretty much surrounded me the blue haired girl with icy wings said

"I'm Cirno the strongest fairy in Gensokyo!" she giggled while having a mischievous smile but, looking into her icy wings made me remember Jin so I quickly focused on the others in their little group. A green haired girl with little antenna said

"I'm Wriggle Nightbug a bug youkai" she had a more innocent smile than what Cirno had and seemed to be much more shy keeping her head down and such. Next a girl with pink hair and little wings floated by my right shoulder looking me over.

"Hehe I'm Mystia it's nice to meet you I'm a night sparrow youkai." she gave a smile that held a bit of greed but , again like Wriggle's it was more innocent than cirno' I notice one last figure who quite literally latched herself to my right arm before sighing contently

"I'm Rumia big Bro Ragna." she said it in a very satisfied voice and I asked before anyone else could

"Big brother?" she nodded rubbing her head more into the azure grimoire while saying

"I can feel it the power in your right arm it's blacker than the darkest nights it almost makes it hard to resist me taking a nibble." she quickly to a small bite into the azure and I quickly shook her off though I saw a black chip in her mouth which she quickly swallowed while I thought in amazement

"She bit into the azure and managed to chip it how tough are her teeth?" and then she glew a pure black before an explosion of darkness sent us flying through the front door and wall. "Tch damn so that's how it feels to be thrown by a wave of darkness that sucks." I picked myself up as did the others to see instead of the little girl standing there a woman up to my shoulders licking her fingers.

"Ara ara that hit the spot who would have thought that a single little chip would have been enough to free me from the little seal ufufufu!" she then looked at me and said

"Thank you big bro Ragna now as an reward i'll let you live for a little while instead of killing you outright." I then told her

"Really then well sorry I'm going to have to kick your ass." she laughed before saying

"Kick my ass how cute you're just a normal grade A human even with that little toy arm of yours you can't beat a goddess of the night." I rolled my eyes I've kicked the as of more than one person who claimed to be some holy figure.

"Care to find out?" she summoned a pitch black and red sword while I drew my own it was ass kicking time

(Play Ex-Rumia theme )

It was an even fight for a while till she busted out her Danmaku which made it infinitely harder on me the others were taking cheap shots at her but, it wasn't doing a damn thing to deter her from attacking me. "This keeps going I'm going to have to use that and even the odds." I thought as she launched an orb of darkness which along with several other attacks pummeled into me sending me through a giant rock.

"What's wrong big bro if you don't get up I'll just kill everyone hehehe." now I was seriously getting jin vibes which caused me to not just stand up but I raised my right arm

"It's about time I even the odds." I growled as I began my activation chant

"Restriction 666 Released,Dimensional Interference Field Deployed, Idea Engine Linked BlazBlue Activate!"I glowed with black energy as I went to attack she sent a hail of orbs at me and I did an upwards slash roaring "Dead Spike." sending a giant black beast head flying towards her it both nullified her shots and almost scraped her though she was right on top of me in seconds and I was forced to guard but, before she could make an escape I raised my hand up as it became a claw and I snarled "There's no Running!" slicing into her with it the attack left her open and I pulled my right arm back as the ground shook from the impending attack ""Let the Darkness Consume You!" my arm turned into a black claw once again and I yanked her into the air as darkness tendrils ripped and tore through her the claw then exploded as the darkness shattered like glass. I then growled "You got a death wish?!" and with a fist covered in darkness my attack dragged her with me until my arm one last time became a claw and I yelled"Reimu, Keine Follow up!" the claw shattered and Reimu did a spin as seal tags surrounded her and she called out

"Spirit Sign: "Fantasy Seal" -spread-"sealing tags and magical bullets swarmed the falling body of the girl but, it wasn't over as she huffed and puffed trying to stand up Keine then called out

"Ambition Sign: "Masakado Crisis!" then orbs of magic once more pummeled her to the ground yet even then she still kept picking herself up she growled"Eternal Nightmare: "Shatter the loving Dawn" her sword then was covered in black flames and I simply adjusted my collar

"I'm going to show you…" I put my left hand on my right arm focusing all my strength into it as the seal of the black beast flared a deep crimson behind me and as she swung downwards as hard as she could I finished what I was saying"The True power of the Azure!" I did a heavy reverse grip upwards slash canceling out her attack as I went and turned my sword into scythe mode as she made her sword into a scythe as well. As our blades collided one attack after another I growled"There is no hell just darkness." right as the vortex was created she made a solid orb of energy around her to protect herself from the attack and she said

"You can't bypass the eternal dusk." I simply grunted roaring out

"This is the power of darkness!" the attack collided with the orb cracking it slightly so I followed up by saying"I'm not done yet" releasing an explosion of darkness from my sword's blade destroying the orb I then did a heavy upward strike calling out"I'm sick of your shit already Infernal Eradicator!" I used the attack to drag her high into the air and as I landed she fell crashing into the ground behind me as I said "And stay down!" this time she didn't try to push herself up.

(music end)

(Reimu Pov)

Me and Keine were shocked at the turn of events Ragna's finishing move was obviously devastating knocking Ex-Rumia out cold."Tch bitch wasn't to tough" he said casually as a bright glow covered Rumia as she turned back into her more childish state. Ragna then dropped onto one knee breathing heavily it seemed he was more beat up than he was willing to admit. "Shit she was one hell of a fight had that gone on much longer I would have been her lunch."

"Ragna don't push yourself that was one hell of a fight." I looked at him slightly worried yet he stood up and then stared off into the distance to see a giant green beam of energy.

"Impossible how the hell is that goddamn idiot here." I raised an eyebrow as he forced himself up and growled "Time go finish that bastard." I then wondered if he meant that someone else from his world was here before I could even question him he said"That attack is one of Terumi's when he has a host body we better find out where he is and kill his ass after finding out how he survived." I just nodded with determined eyes he told me this guy was incredibly powerful and dangerous so eliminating him would be the only option. So we headed off in the direction the attack came from.

(Reilus Pov)

"So the mansion is this way correct?" my guide nodded before asking

"Is it really possible for Marisa to be this Murakumo ?" I nodded as an answer while thinking

"I still find it amazing that I found another puppeteer quite a talented one at that." I then looked up to see a green beam filling the air like a blade aiming to pierce the heavens which told me we had better get moving.
