4. Time For Battles

Author's Note: Well, you can expect a lot of action in this chapter. I might put in the Chi fight, and probably the giant spider youkai fights, and a surprise fight. Maybe we'll even see what Aya is up too...

Chapter 3: Time For Battles

"Ugh...where am I?" Aya woke up in a stone chamber, with a door that was clearly locked, as there was a lock on it. She took a quick look around, and saw lots of silk, and her fan. The tengu tried to escape, but found herself stuck to a web. Using her strength, Aya tried to get out, but the silk wouldn't budge.

The door opened suddenly, and in came Kurai, who was drinking some sort of juice pack. "Hello, tengu girl!" She said cheerfully with a smile. "Great, it's you...what do you want?" The tsuchigumo smiled and took a sip of her drink. "Don't know, Master hasn't told me yet." "Who's this 'Master', anyway?" Suddenly, Kurai;s face went weird, and she responded, "Yes, Master." She moved closer, and in one of her silk hands, she held a strange device.

Chi, who was now standing on top of the tallest building in the town, was watching how the be girls were doing. They seemed to be all easily taking care of the spider youkai. The youkai were merely a distraction though. Apparently, no one realized something was wrong when she said magician of light. She pulled out a spell-card, and the sun peeked out of the clouds just enough for the magician to somehow extract some light from it. She continued this over and over again, each time feeling stronger. When she came, the girls wouldn't know what hit them.

"Searing Red Fist!" Meiling jumped up and quickly punched a spider youkai in the stomach. It staggered and went backwards, and Meiling shot out a few balls of chi at the youkai before delivering one last powerful punch that sent it flying through a few buildings.

CRAAAAAA

AAAAAAAA

AAAAAASH!

Out of the dust, Meiling managed to see some silk flying at her, and easily dodged it. She didn't notice the danmaku the youkai shot as she was preoccupied dodging silk and got hit in the left leg by it. Meiling almost fell out, but Remilia caught her and threw a spear made of red energy at the spider youkai's stomach. "Heart Break!" The spider youkai roared and fell to the ground with a deep hole in it's stomach.

The chinese gatekeeper shot a giant chi bullet at the hole in the spider's stomach. Remilia smiled at her before shooting out a chain with a spiked tip after the chi bullet. They collided, and the chi bullet became red and a spike popped out of it. It continued on it's path before hitting the spider youkai, knocking it unconscious. Meiling realized Remilia wasn't at her "position" and told the vampire, who simply walked off.

"Lotus Stance Cut!" Youmu shot out cutter shaped bullets at one of the spider youkai's arms (or legs, I guess) that cut the arm off. The youkai screeched in pain and tried to hit Youmu with one of it's arms. Youmu jumped over it, and ran up to the spider's face on the arm and cut it's face near it's left eye, causing a gash to from there and the youkai to close the eye. The spider youkai shook Youmu off, who couldn't fly in time.

Reisen jumped up and grabbed Youmu, before she shot out rocket-shaped bullets at the spider youkai's stomach. Youmu jumped up and slashed the youkai in the eye again, and moved away in time to allow more rocket-shaped bullets to hit it's eye. "Ripple Half-Body!" Reisen shot out a ring shaped eye beam, and Myon, who was behind Reisen shot out projectiles in to the rings. The danmaku hit the spider youkai, and it fell on it's back. Youmu jumped up above the spider and thrust the Hakurouken downward at it's stomach, killing it off and leaving a deep hole in it's stomach.

"Hakurei Amulet!" Reimu shot out amulets that homed in on the spider youkai's arms, making the youkai cry in pain. Sanae jumped to the side of Reimu and sent her a look. Reimu smiled back and they both pulled out spell-cards. "Fantasy Serpent!" Sanae shot out a charm which became a white snake that flew at the enemy. Spirit orbs shot shot at the serpents making them multicolored The serpents shot at the youkai, and cut off four of its arms. "AAAAARGH!" The spider cried out in pain. "Paper Amulet Barrage!" Reimu shot out lots of paper amulets at the spider youkai's stomach. The amulets were intertwined with purple paper amulets, that rapidly hit the spider youkai's stomach. It fell on it's back, and Sanae and Reimu both threw their gohei's at that stomach, that circled right back to them. "Mid-Day Supernova!" A star appeared above the youkai's stomach, and bullets came down and hit the spider youkai.

Cirno, who was sadly all alone, was throwing ice hammers at a spider youkai's face, that wasn't really hurting it. "Darn it! Why won't you budge!" Cirno jumped up at the spider youkai's face. "Fairy Spin!" She spun rapidly at the youkai's face, while throwing icicles at it. Cirno jumped back just as the spider tried to swat her away. "Great, I'm going to have to use that attack. I was really planning to use it in a better fight. " Cirno flew back at the spider youkai's face, but completely encased herself in ice. "Icey Meteor!" The ice fairy crashed hard into it's face, and the youkai jumped back. "Good, now I can charge!"

Cirno made a shield of ice around her, and a hammer formed in her hand, gradually getting bigger. Suddenly, the ice fairy was mushed by a leg, and looked uup to see that her shield had broken.

"Insta-Freeze Beam!" Cirno shot a three-way beam at the youkai, freezing it. She focused on the ice hammer again, and it got bigger and bigger. The ice cracked, and the spider youkai knocked Cirno, but the ice fairy managed to keep her grip on the growing hammer, that was now almost as tall as the spider youkai. With her free hand, Cirno shot out icicles at the youkai, distracting it.

"Finally! Its big enough!" The ice fairy held the hammer above the spider youkai's head. "I'm the strongest! Ice Hammer Smash!" The fairy brought down the hammer, that squished the spider youkai all the way to the ground before shattering, knocking the spider youkai unconscious.

The light magician who was perched on the top of the tower was now glowing extremely bright, as more sunlight entered her body. "That's enough, time to show them who's boss!"

The girls, who were now gathered together, were surprised when suddenly a comet of light forced them to jump back. The magician of light floated in the air, and smiled at the girl's, before a staff made of pure light formed in her hand. "Get ready to face the great mage, Chi Haruzuna!" She announced. "You can't beat all of us!" Youmu shouted. "Who said I couldn't!" Suddenly, before Youmu could react, she was kicked in the back, and bright light blinded her temporarily. "Blinding Flash!"

"Solar Beam!" Chi jumped back and shot a huge beam at Remilia, who was still blind. Because the beam was made of sunlight, Remilia was knocked out. "One down, six to go!" Reisen jumped up at that moment and shot a rocket-shaped bullet at Chi, who dodged it at such close range. "Star-Shaped Light!"

Chi's staff changed into a sword made of light, and she slashed in a pattern that resembled a star. A star shot out of the image of a star the sword slashes made, and shot at Youmu just as the blindness came off. The great magician suddenly thrust her sword downwards and spinning like a drill, and burrowing underground. The girls, who were now confused as to where Chi went, gathered around in a circle, looking for danger. "Earthly Eruption!"

Chi arose on a rock that was being propelled by lava, and lots of other lava sprouted out from holes everywhere. Cirno, who couldn't withstand the heat, fainted. The lava made it's way over the girls, where it became a glowing ball of light similar to the sun. The ball remained above the girl's head's for a moment before crashing down on them. Myon who landed near Chi after avoiding the lava was grabbed by the magician, who noticed that Youmu looked as if she was being squeezed. Smirking, Chi jumped back underground with Myon, and attacked the phantom half brutually.

Millions of slashes and gashes appeared on Youmu's body, and Sanae took notice. She realized that Youmu's phantom half was gone and went to find it, when she was grabbed by the leg and pulled underground.

Outside of the Castle, a knocked out Sam was laying on the floor. The door to the castle wasn't closed. Inside the castle, more knocked out spider youkai were laying unconscious, and now in the main room of the castle, a fight was taking place. A robot, (that looked like Aya) was currently trying to hit Marisa with a fan. "Artful Sacrifice!" Alice threw a doll at the Aya-bot, which caused it to explode, but more came in. "Darn it! There's too many!" Nitori shouted. She flew high in the air, and mechanical arms grabbed both Marisa and Alice and lifted them up. "Kappa Water Bomb!" Nitori's backpack opened, and water came out of water bottles inside it. The kappa grabbed the water as it formed into a circle, and then threw it down, causing it too splash all over the robots.

"MALFUNCTIONING! SELF-DESTRUCTING IN 3, 2, 1.." The trio found that there was no exit, and prepared for the worst. They stayed in that position for a while, before realizing nothing ha happened. They were surprised as they know where in the room Aya was. "Great, Kurai made more clones, that Master guy sure has a strange plan..." Nitori released the chains on Aya and yelled. "We aren't clones!" "That's what that Cirno clone said!" Aya yelled as she picked up her fan. "After I'm done with these clones, I probably will be able to beat up Kurai, that will make a nice news story!"

Before Marisa could even react, Aya dashed right into her, causing her to fly up in the air. "Gale Fan!" Marisa was bombarded by the cutter-shaped gusts, and the tengu was about to fly up again when mechanical arms stopped her. "Aya, we are not clones!" Nitori shouted at her. "Sickle Weasel Veiling!" Wind surrounded the news reporter and traveled all the way to the kappa through the arms, and as a result, Nitori was blasted away.

"Artful Sacrifice!" Alice threw a doll at Aya, but was surprised when Aya caught It. The crow tengu aimed the doll upwards and shouted, "Speedy Sacrifice!" The doll was thrown at blinding speed, and hit Marisa (who was about to use a Narrow Spark) in the stomach before exploding. "KYAAAAA!" Marisa crashed up into the next floor. Aya was suddenly above Marisa, and kicked her in the back, sending her back down. Nitori's mechanical arms made a platform for the witch to land on when she fell back down.

"Sorry about this, Marisa, but..." Nitori hesitated for a second before yelling out, "Mechanical Throw!" The arms threw Marisa at Aya, who had enough time to stick out her broom. The witch rammed into the tengu and announced, "Miasma Sweep!" Aya was knocked upwards into a circle of dolls who all shot out narrow red beams at her. While the dolls kept the tengu in the air, Alice threw a doll at Nitori, who caught it in her mechanical hand. She shocked the doll, and Nitori threw the electrified doll at Aya.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM! Aya managed to dodge the doll, and it hit the wall causing a piece of it to break. "That was close!" Suddenly, Aya pulled out three spellcards at the same time. "Wind of the Tengu Path! Sarutahiko's Guidance! Indication to the Divine!" Aya wrapped herself up in a tornado, before shooting out a cyclone and charging into it with the wind surrounding her. The tengu shot forward into the cyclone, and crashed into Nitori. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The tengu reporter made a quick U-turn and charged at Alice, who had little team to react. Aya crashed into the puppeteer, making her fly up in the air. Aya grabbed Nitori and Alice, and started spinning around extremely fast until a tornado surrounded her. "Tornado Throw!" She threw Nitori, who was surrounded by wind, at Marisa, but the witch dodged it. The witch was surprised, however when Alice came flying at her, and got hit."KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Marisa flew back to the wall where Nitori had crashed, and they broke through the wall and found themselves flying through the castle and breaking walls.

Aya came to where they had landed and laughed at them. "Heh, those clones were too easy!" "Why are you saying that if you're clone?" A voice said. The trio saw another Aya hanging on the wall. Nitori used her mechanical arms to free Aya, who smiled at her and said thanks before grabbing her fan. "Now, I'll prove to you that the real person always beats the clone!"

(Music Ends Here.)

Meanwhile, Chi Haruzuna was standing on top of the hotel with a bag made of silk. "Well, that wasn't too hard of a fight. Hopefully, I taught them not to mess with me!" She hummed a merry tune for a while before shouting out, "I got them!" The only strange thing was that no one was around. Suddenly, Chi vanished with the silk bag and in her place was some sort of ripple...=

Chi reappeared in a dimly lit bedroom. She calmly placed the silk bag on the side of the bed, before releasing lots of light and yelling, "I won the bet, Kurai!" The tsuchigumo who was in the bed got up and rubbed her eyes and stretched out her arms. "Wait, you got all 11?" Kurai asked. "II? I only got 7." Suddenly, a spider youkai rushed in. "Lady Chi! Lady Kurai! There is a disturbance in the prisoner's room!" "Really, well dispatch the youkai there then!" Kurai yelled at the spider youkai before her. "And take that bag with you!" the spider youkai took the bag and walked away.

"Well Chi, I think it's time to get ready. You already dealt with them a little, so I'll take care of the others. Get the arena ready in the mean time." Kurai hopped off the bed, and calmly walked outside the room, heading to where she had imprisoned Aya. She passed the horde of spider youkai, and told them to stay outside the room. The tsuchigumo walked, made a new silk door, and went into the room where Aya was being held captive.

The said tengu was whacking the clone with her maple leaf fan on the head. She jumped back and pulled out her spellcard. "Maple Leaf Fan!" Aya shot out a big tornado at the clone, who dodged it and countered by shooting a few cutter-shaped projectiles. The real Aya jumped over the first bullet and ducked beneath the second one. While she was ducking, the clone managed to get above Aya and shot out a frenzy of wind shots, that hit their target.

The tengu managed to get out of where she was shot before the clone noticed, and took notice of the many things surrounding her. The clone must have noticed too, because they both did the same thing. Wind filled the room, blowing the tables, chairs, chains, and everything in the room. Aya found herself jumping and ducking to avoid getting hit. The tengu saw that the clone was getting pushed to the wall a little, and used this to her advantage. "Route Forbidden to Man!" All the wind suddenly went in the direction Aya was facing, causing all the objects to fly at the clone.

It happened so suddenly, that the clone got hit in pretty much every part of her body. Suddenly, the clone pulled out another card. "Illusionary Dominance!" Before the real Aya could dodge the attack, she was knocked up into the air, and kept getting knocked higher and higher. "YAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Aya held her knee that had been hit multiple times, and with her free hand she pulled out her spellcard. "Illusionary Dominance!" Aya flew downwards, and hit the clone just as she was about to hit her, causing them to clash.

"Domination Dash!" Aya applied much more speed, and knocked the clone upwards before kicking her back downwards. The clone staggered to get up, and Aya could see electricity cackling around it. It suddenly released all the electricity around it, and the real Aya got hit by one of the bolts. Then it's right arm turned into a cannon, and it started charging a laser.

"Magical Recycled Bomb!" Marisa threw a pot at the clone, and it exploded when it hit the clone. Because of this, the clone stopped charging, and as a result, a doll was flung at it. The doll exploded, sending the clone back again. "Mechanical Combo!" Nitori flew out and grabbed the clone, keeping her in place while her other arms started rapidly punching the clone. The clone managed to get out of the grip, and pulled out three spellcards.

"Wind of the Tengu Path! Sarutahiko's Guidance! Indication to the Divine!" Aya, who was now standing was surprised at the announcement. "Isn't it like against spellcard rules to pull out more than one spellcard at a time?" The clone wrapped herself in a tornado and shot out a tornado shaped projectile, shrouded herself in wind, and charged at the projectile. Nitori suddenly grabbed Aya with her mechanical arms, and threw the tengu at the fake tengu. Aya shrouded herself in intense wind, and crashed right into the clone.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Wind flew out in a frenzy, pushing everyone but the two Ayas back to thw wall. The real tengu pushed harder, and the fake one did as well. They pushed more and more, before the real Aya suddenly shot out wind shots at the clone, making it lose its focus. The tengu pushed hard, and the fake one was pushed into the wall and crashed through the other walls before falling down.

"Well, you did rather well." All heads turned around to see the newcomer at the door. Kurai stood there, drinking from her juice pack again. "You did pretty well, tengu-girl, but I'm afraid that I have to defeat you now." Silk hands shot out around Kurai, making a total of 8. "Prepare to meet, the Copy-cat Tsuchigumo!"

Author's Note: Next chapter will feature the Kurai battle, and our girls will storm the castle. Please review, but no flames, only constructive criticism.

EXTRA STUFF:

If you haven't figured it out yet, Chi can control light and is an advanced magician, which is why she practically made her own sun in "Earthly Eruption."

The Aya clone was originally going to do a whole lot more than bring out her cannon, but I decided not to do that, yet.

The Aya bot and several other "bosses" they fight might reappear in later arcs...

The theme used in Chi's fight is another relation to the story that Chi was originally in. I might re-upload that story later...

Chi's isn't really overpowered, it's just that she was charging up her power for a really long time. Like imagine if Patchouli or Reimu were charging a spell for that long or something...

Ripple Half-Body, Fantasy Serpent, Paper Amulet Barrage, Icey Meteor, Ice Hammer Smash, Speedy Sacrifice, Mechanical Throw, and Tornado Throw aren't real Touhou spell-cards. Whew, that's a lot!
