Her legs were aching her left arm in dire pain, her right arm tired from carrying the yin yang orb, and mind was in distress. She was dirty, her cloths were ripped, and see was out of breath, but that did not matter. As she approached the pillar of light, one thought took center stage. To stop Sariel from causing havoc to the land, and to finish those twos duties.
"Sariel!" Yield Reimu at the pillar of light.
"So someone has decided to challenge me in my hour of awakening!" a figure floated down, covered in a light so bright that Reimu could only tell that this person was a girl, an angel, and had six wings.
"Well you're too late. I'm almost at full power and there is nothing you can do to stop me." The light slowly faded away, allowing Reimu to see what Sariel looked like. She had long white hair and a white skin. Her wings were also white with blue tips. She wore a blue dress with long white sleeves. On her dress was a white emblem. In her hand was a strange blue wand with a white orb. Her eyes seem to be blue.
"I will stop you here and now!" Reimu rebutted.
"You don't have any of the tools need to stop…, wait is that the yin yang orb."
Reimu held up the orb "Yes it is, and I will use it to defeat you."
Sariel looked at the yin yang orb for a moment before putting her hand over her face and laughing "Hahahaha. I was worried there for a second, but it seems you have yet to summon its true power. Without it, that orb will never beat me!"
"We will see about that!" Reimu kicked the orb towards Sariel.
Sariel knocked the orb away with her wand. "Yes we will see." Sariel raised her wand over her head, and the scenery changed around them. From the pillar of light to a sky with a background of bubbles, and Reimu standing on an invisible platform.
Keeping her wand above her head, the angle fired lasers all around the arena. Reimu rushed over to her orb as the lasers rained down. Reimu noticed al laser heading to her orb that would hit her if she stopped to hit her orb. She ran faster towards her orb, and was she neared it, she slid at it. This both caused the orb to launch at Sariel hitting her, and causing the shine maiden to get pass the spot before the laser hit.
Reimu stopped sliding and as she was getting up, she span around and threw several amulets at her orb, causing the orb to hit Sariel before she had a chance to respond. In Reimu's attempt to look cool doing her trick, she failed to notice a laser heading towards her, hitting her in the back.
Sariel raised her wand, and a star formed on her left. The star moved out and around in an arc, leaving behind a bloody trail. It stopped and disappeared just past her on the opposite side. The blood transformed into bats, shooting danmaku at and around Reimu. The shrine maiden, who had reached her orb in the meantime, hit it with her gohei and ran around to avoid the danmaku.
The orb hit some of the bats, dissolving them, and it Sariel. The other bats dissolved and another star formed on her left. Reimu loped around, hitting her orb with her gohei, causing it to fly not at Sariel, but at the star. The orb hit and dissolved the star, stopping the attack in its tracks. Reimu launched some amulets at the orb, redirecting its path and hitting Sariel in the head.
Sariel lowered her wand and felt the back of her head. As she was doing that, Reimu jumped up, grabbed her orb, turned around, and landed maintain her balance.
Sariel pointed her wand to her left, and at that moment, Reimu kicked her orb at Sariel, hitting her. An orbs with Sariel's emblem appeared at each side of the arena. They were firing a cone of danmaku downwards. They started to move towards the center, with the cone lagging behind. Reimu threw her amulets at her orb and timed her jump to hen the two orbs would meet. The two orbs stopped before the center, causing danmaku to hit Reimu as she was jumping back, and causing her to land on her back. The two orbs disappeared before more attacks could occur, because the yin yang orb had hit Sariel. As Reimu got up, Sariel raised her wand. Reimu braced for an attack, but instead the scenery changed from a background of bubbles to a curving light background. Two orbs also surrounded Sariel.
As Sariel lowered her wand, the orbs surrounding Sariel started to shoot out danmaku in a circular fashion, with the left one going clockwise, and the right one going counter clockwise. The danmaku also went forwards as it goes in the direction it was fired in.
Reimu dived left to avoid the bullets from both orbs, landing in a gap of the left orbs bullets. She quickly got up and threw her amulets at her orb, which flew towards Sariel, and promptly knocked towards Reimu when Sariel hit it with her wand. Reimu jumped right to avoid being hit by her own orb. Danmaku hit Reimu's left arm as she was in the air, causing the dull ache to fire back up again.
"Ga" Reimu involuntarily yelped as the pain on her left arm intensive a thousand fold.
Sariel began to laugh at Reimu. "Hahahaha. You thought you had me because I have to keep my wand up while I cast my attacks but this attack goes on its own, allowing me to knock back your pathetic orb. All I have to do now is wait for you to tire yourself out and kill you."
Reimu, despite the pain her left arm was in, got up and dodge the danmaku about to hit her. She noticed her orb behind her bouncing off an invisible wall. She got an idea, ran over and hit the orb not at Sariel, but at the right orb. The orb broke, and Sariel grabbed her right side in pain. The yin yang orb bounced off the right wall, causing Sariel to turn and face the orb as it bounce off the back wall. Unbeknownst to her, Reimu ran around the other way tell she spotted her orb. She threw amulets at the orb and ran towards the center, Sariel who was preparing to hit the orb, was taken by surprise when the amulets redirected the orb towards the left orb. The yin yang orb broke the left orb and bounce off the left wall towards the center, causing pain to enter her left side.
As Sariel raised her wand to change the scenery, Reimu and her orb both reached the center. Reimu kicked her orb at Sariel causing it to hit her while the scenery changed. The scenery change to a light coming from behind Sariel, as hands from the fire below reaches desperately for the light. This understandingly makes Reimu uncomfortable.
Sariel raised up her wand, and lasers come down directed by her eyes, at the same time danmaku rain down from above. Reimu dodge the laser and hit her orb with her gohei, causing the orb to hit Sariel and ending the attack before the danmaku rained down all the way.
Light began to gather around Sariel, and danmaku began to fire in a circle pattern in rows of 4. Lasers are fired along with the danmaku a few times a second. Reimu jumped out of the way of the laser and used her gohei to create a path through the wave. Before the wave came around again, Reimu rushed over to her orb and hit her orb with her gohei. The orb hit, bounced off, and allowed Reimu to hit the orb again.
The orb hit Sariel while she was raising her wand to change the scene. The scene change to one with a black background. Floating in the black sky were images of the past including Reimu battling Shingyoku again, Sariel with her orbs, and Reimu starting her journey.
Sariel lowered her wand "that's it. I'm done going easy on you. I will finish you in the lens of time." Sariel quickly pointed her wand left.
Two beams appeared at the edges and moved towards the center. At the half way point the beams stopped and danmaku sported from where the beams passed by, firing into the air and coming back down in an arc. Reimu dodged the bullets and went towards the orb. When the attack ended Sariel fired a wave three deep across the arena, Reimu hit her orb which hit Sariel, and used the path the orb created.
When the wave attack finished, she fired two more beams at the edges which repeated the first attack. Reimu threw her amulets at the orb and then ran out of the area that erupted into bullets. The orb hit Sariel while Reimu was dodging the bullets. Reimu threw more amulets at the orb, which hit Sariel again.
Two lines of danmaku fired in groups of four popped up from the ground into the air and headed towards Reimu. The shrine maiden dodged and ran over to her orb and kicked it. This caused yet another hit as danmaku rai down from above. The danmaku fell down rather quickly, almost hitting Reimu in the head, but the miko managed to dodge he bullets. Reimu threw her amulets at her orb and ran back, causing the orb to hit Sariel. The orb bounced to Reimu who kicked it at Sariel. The orb hit Sariel just as she was beginning another wave attack.
Sariel's wand shattered from the last hit, and with it so does the danmaku and scenery as an image appears of the wand breaking. The scenery turns back to normal, with the exception of the pillar of light gone from the now black sky. Sariel was taking heavy breaths leaned over and on the ground. Her dress was torn and dyed red, one of her wings was broken, and her wand hand was limp.
Reimu, who was not in the best shape ether, grabbed her orb and pointed her gohei at Sariel "will you not cause any more trouble or will I have to make sure of that."
Sariel, despite all the pain she was in, stopped breathing heavily. She straighten her body and raised her head. She was smiling! "You ignorant child. Can you not tell a distraction from reality?" Sariel began to levitate as light formed around her, so bright that Reimu could not look at it.
"Now I just need a virgin sacrifice to finish my transformation, and look here." The light dimed enough for Reimu to see Sariels new from. Hew wings were fixed and had increased to 4 times their previous size, her cloths were mended and not red, and her left arm, still without a wand, was active.
Reimu franticly kicked her orb with all her might, and it flew towards Sariel with blinding speed, but was caught by Sariel's left arm. "Fool. Like I said, without the true power of the yin yang orbs, you cannot stop me!" she threw the orb back at Reimu so fast that she could not react.
The orb hit Reimu in the gut so hard that she coughed up blood. The pain, fatigue, and turmoil from throughout the day came rushing back. The legs fatigued from walking, the left arms searing pain from burning up, the right arms tiredness from caring the orb, the chest being crushed by her orb, and her heads dizziness from the rushing thoughts. Reimu collapses, falling face first onto the ground, with the yin yang orb rolling out of reach. The shrine maiden was just barely conscious.
Sariel began to taunt her "Now you will die either way. And nobody can come to your assistants in hell, not even the gods. If you sacrifice yourself to me, then your death will be quick and painless. Resist any farther, and your soul will suffer eternal pain."
Reimu weigh her options. I should sacrifice myself. My entire body is in constant and aggravating pain. My orb is out of my reach. I can't hurt her even with it. I still can't call on my god for help. I should sacrifice myself, but…
Reimu got to her hands, despite all the pain her body was in, and got to her knees. "I… I will not sacrifice myself to you."
Sariel was taken aback by this "What?" she said in an unbelieving voice.
The shrine maiden got to her feet and grabbed he gohei "YuugenMagen and Kikuri died trying to fulfill their duty to stop you, and I won't let their deaths go in vain. It is my duty as Hakurei shrine maiden to stop incidents from occurring, so I will fight you tell my last drop of blood is spilled to make sure you don't cause mayhem. It does not matter if I don't have the backing of a god. I will use every ounce of my energy to fulfill my duty!"
"If that's your choice, then eternal pain awaits. Now di-" Sariel was interrupted by a bright light the yin yang orb began to emit.
The orb growing brighter, began to levitate off of the ground. A bright flash followed, and when Reimu adjusted to the bright light, she noticed two smaller yin yang orbs were floating around her.
Sariel was taken aback "How did you summon the yin yang orbs!" she quickly started to act calm "no matter. You can't fly, so I will use that to make sure you die!" A danmaku bullet appeared below Sariel on the floor, and bullets quickly spread across the floor so density that no room was left to stand on. Reimu looked at the rapid spread of danmaku in fear, unable to look away. A voice from behind broke her form the trance.
"Lady Reimu!" the voice came from a flying old turtle rushing towards Reimu.
"Genjii!" Reimu quickly ran towards Genjii, despite her legs being fatigued. The danmaku started to get closer to her though.
Just as they neared each other, the danmaku was right behind Reimu. Knowing that she could not stop, she used her right arm to press down on Genjii and to jump up and land on Genjii, just barely dodging the danmaku.
"No, I will not be stopped so close to my goal!" Sariel launched all the danmaku on the floor up words. Genjii flew upwards to let the bullets come apart, then flew carefully around to make sure none of the danmaku hits either him or Reimu.
"Lady, you focus on firing, I will focus on dodging."
"Ok Genjii." Reimu focused her energy into the orbs, causing them to fire danmaku amulets at Sariel.
Sariel fired several waves in every which direction at Genjii. He stopped and moved down and around to avoid them, moving under Sariel and to her back. Reimu fired another burst of danmaku at Sariel.
In retribution, Sariel created several orbs around Genjii firing cones to trap him and Reimu. Genjii began to quickly move up and around the danmaku, and passed a tight squeeze to escape the trap. Genjii then flew above Sariel, and Reimu fired a burst of danmaku at Sariel.
"I can't lose! Not Now!" Sariels wings shattered, making her start falling. "Reimu, I promise to return at full strength some day and kill you for this!" Sariel said no more as she slammed into the ground, shattering apart.
"Well my lady, are you ready to go back to the shrine?" Genjii asked Reimu, who did not reply for she laid unconscious from the day. Genjii said no ore and quickly headed back to the shrine.
