I do not own Touhou or Fate Stay/Night
"ATRUM! I TOLD YOU, DON'T MIX THOSE TWO COMPOUNDS TOGETHER!"
"What? Than how are you supposed to rearrange the atom formation-"
"Use your freaking head! You don't need to change the compound itself, you need to change the state of matter first! Freeze it!"
"I don't understand-"
"YOU DON'T NEED TO! JUST - GAH!"
Boom!
"See, what I told you?" Marisa told Atrum Galliasta, her employer, "Those two compounds would create a chemical reaction that would result in a large explosion."
"But wouldn't the end result remain the same?" Atrum responded as he took off his ruined lab gear.
"You mean, you still want to do that again? It'll kill the experimenter!"
"….But we could use other-."
"That again?" Marisa snarled, "I have told you, no. We are not treating human beings as just a cost in producing a pure crystal!"
"But there are a bunch of people on the market-"
"You know what? You do whatever you want." Marisa took off her lab gear and threw it on the ground. "I quit."
"But you can't-"
"I just did." Marisa retorted back, "I won't work under somebody who pursues alchemy at the disregards of other people's lives. Until you understand that aspect, I will not tolerate working with you any longer."
There was a brief moment of silence as Marisa gathered all her materials. Atrum was thinking hard, how to keep Marisa with him. Marisa was such a valuable non-magi scientist who seem to have perfected making the crystal at such a low cost of resources. But, the way that Marisa employs is too long, so he wanted to use human bodies as a catalyst to speed up the reaction. Problem is, she's adamant on not using humans.
And this ended up with Marisa quitting her job. But, she hasn't left the lab yet.
"GUARDS!" Atrum roared, "ARREST HER!"
Five of his guards rushed into the lab, their Tasers in their hand as they prepared to disable Marisa. Marisa just smirked though. What was she so confident-
Atrum didn't notice that Marisa had already gathered all her personal items. He didn't notice that Marisa had pulled out a vial from her personal items. He certainly did not notice that Marisa had put on her face a handkerchief, tightly wounded over her mouth.
So, he didn't expect gas to be released in the lab. The gas was very potent, for it instantly knocked out the guards and made Atrum a little bit dizzy, but he still remained standing up.
"I'm an Alchemist, da ze!" Marisa said as she took out more vials from her bag. One of them had the label of Methoxypropane, a very very very potent sleeping gas. And Atrum saw no more.
Deleting all her records from the data system was what Marisa did next in her ex-employer's lab. It was simple in uploading a virus erasing all information of Marisa was while transferring ten million yen to her bank account. She was promised that amount if, in under circumstances, that Marisa quits from her job due to her contractor being immoral.
The guards started to flow into the control room when the virus finished transferring money, so Marisa did what she did best. Escape with style.
She threw her bag at the nearby window, dropped a flashbang that she borrowed from a sleeping guard, and jumped out. The guards ran over to the window to see Marisa, but their vision was temporary disabled.
Marisa started flying on her broom and decided to leave a parting remark to give to Atrum.
"This is the day," Marisa yelled as she rode off into the night, "That you almost caught Marisa Kirisame, da ze!"
"Hmmmm, that's disappointing." Marisa said as she landed on the roof of a house. "I thought that he would at least abide to my rules to the end. That way, I get a billion yen. Meh, ten million yen is good enough. Enough for three months."
Marisa than pulled out a long checklist from her bag. "Let see, hmmm, Atrum isn't good." Marisa muttered as she walked on the roofs, checking past employers off. "I know! I'll work at Homurahara Academy! I hope they still have that spot opened for me. But, hmmmm. Eh, I'll check the website when I find a computer. So, onto the library!"
With that, Marisa put away her checklist and looked around. Ah, the cold, fresh night air. It was such a nice – AAAHHHHHHH!
Somehow, Marisa had placed her foot on a patch of roof that appeared to be broken and completely fell through the human sized hole. Onto a couch. How…interesting. And painful. Ouch.
Marisa blinked once, and another to gather her surroundings. Right, she's surrounded by a lot of wood, bricks, and dust. And she's right in front of an angry girl who was scolding her in…German? Hang on, her German's rusty.
"Was zum Teufel machst du da?!" The twin tailed girl yelled out, "Du kleines Stück Scheiße!"
Right, hmmm. The rough translation should be, what the hell are you doing, you, um. Oh, Scheiße means shit while kleines Stück mean little piece. So, what the hell are you doing, you little piece of - Oohhhh, that's some pretty nasty language.
"Um, um, Hallo da ze?" Marisa said, "Um, zerstören means wreck, um, haus means house, dein means mean. Sooo, Ich will dein Haus zerstören, um, wait, uh wait. That's wrong. Um, where the hell do you put the word Nicht? Um, Ich Ich will nicht dein Haus zerstören! There da ze!"
Marisa smiled at the girl, who smiled very sweetly at Marisa – wait, that's a smile that Reimu normally had before unleashing all hell. Uh-oh.
The girl yelled some rapid German in which Marisa completely lost track of, and pointed her finger like a gun towards Marisa. All her escapist instincts told her to dodge the imaginary bullet. So, as a master in dodging, she flung herself to one side to avoid a ball of magic.
THAT BITCH! SHE WRECKED HER HOUSE!
Rin was full on rage mode when she was firing her finn shot at the intruder.
She was definitely not in a good mood when that girl came crashing down on the ground via the roof. She had just recently learned that her biological sister was being raped at her home when she was a Matou, and that just….sickens her.
So, an hour before the blond-haired bimbo crashed into her house she had tracked down Shinji and…physically showed how much Rin disapproved of having her sister raped.
After leaving something that can't be really called Shinji, she had returned to her home and started working on her magecraft. It was when Rin had put the final finishing touch on a gem that took her the whole entire month to carve that a massive crash revertebrated throughout the house and she scratched it too deeply.
Meaning?
It was completely ruined.
So, Rin was taking her justified rage on the intruder, who seems to be dodging every single one of her attacks. To give the intruder credit, she was dodging it well. Too well.
It was at the moment in which the girl stayed in the air for an unnatural second too long from jumping and weaving her Finn shots in which Rin realized how she was dodging it.
"You're a Magi!" Rin yelled out.
"I'm not, da ze! I'm a witch!" The girl responded back, "Bye!"
The witch than rushed over the nearest window and swung her bag at the window, to see that the window didn't break at all. There was no way in which that girl could escape through there – after all, it was Rin who carved the runes themselves.
"Oh." The girl stated, "Scheiße."
Rin just simply smiled, and took out a gem from her little pouch hanging by her side. And, she chuck it straight at the trespasser.
This…wasn't Marisa's day today. When the window failed to break under her heavy bag, Marisa saw the runes sketched on the window that made it impossible for her to break unless she master sparked it.
She rather not destroy more of the house. If possible.
And it was that gem that destroyed the house even more.
So, Marisa could only think of one thing to say when the gem nearly killed her.
"It wasn't me da ze!" Marisa said as she stuffed her hand into her bag. Um, um, um what vial could she use? She already used all her potent sleeping and knockout gas during her escape, so all that she had left was essentially a truth vial and a laughing gas.
…She didn't really see how making an angry rampaging magus tell the truth could stop the amount of gems flying straight at her. So, laughing gas it is.
Marisa held her breath as she took out a vial of Nitrous Oxide and and threw it at the ground. The gas….there was no gas because the vial was just pieces of glass. Marisa looked at her bag and saw a hole the size of a bullet. Oh. Wow, so the girl must have shot a hole in her bag and breaking open the vial of laughing gas.
And that laughing gas was premating through the room when both girls had their mouths open…and it normally takes a minute or two to kick in….
"Pheeee." Marisa tried to contain it, and it ended up sounding like a balloon leaking gas.
The other girl, well. "HAHAHAHAHH!" Collapsed on the floor, laughing.
"IT'S TOO FUNNY!" Marisa shouted as she too collapsed on the floor on a laughing fit. "YOUR TWINTAILS! IT'S SO CUTE DA ZE!"
"NOT AS CUTE AS, HAHAH, AS YOUR LANGUGE! BHAHAHAHAH!"
And so, the laughter continued.
Thirty minutes in their laughing fit, and the two girls were utterly exhausted.
"You're dead." The girl magus stared at Marisa with venomous eyes.
Marisa managed to recover faster from her own sleeping gas, most likely because she had a high alchemy stat that reduces the effect of gases on her. So, right after she recovered, she grabbed a rope from her bag and tied the rampaging girl up. Although, it could be that she tied her up so well that the bounded girl was in a position that'll invite men to…she's not thinking about perverted thoughts. Not at all. Right, back to the statement.
"Dead?" Marisa questioned, "Why should I, be dead?"
The girl tried to push herself up, but failed as the ropes constricted her. "BECAUSE YOU'RE STEALING MY GEMS!" Rin roared in frustration.
"It's not stealing!" Marisa said as she put the bag of gems that she pickpocketed from the girl, "I'm just safe-keeping it. After all, with great power comes great responsibility, and you definitely do not have any sense of responsibility."
"So essentially you're robbing it."
"It's not robbery, it's borrowing!" Marisa responded as she made a mark on one the runes. She's a bit knowledgable when it comes to runes, but it did take her a minute or two disable one, just to show how rusty her skills are. "Well, I'll see you again da ze!"
Marisa than jumped out of the window and, in midair, summoned her broom and flew to the top of the houses where she landed.
"That was…" Marisa muttered as she counted how many jewels she received from the girl, "Interesting. So, onto the library – wait, the girl back there had a Homurahara uniform. So, it's likely that the girl would naturally go to that school. And, if Marisa teaches at the school, that girl would probably recognize Marisa.
"Damnit." Marisa muttered as she took out her list from the bag, "There's another job I can't take. Hmmm, I know, I'll apply as the library assistant! So, to the library we go da ze!"
It was a minute after the witch jumped out of the window in which Rin realized an important fact.
"Wait, how the hell am I supposed to get out of this?"
Two hours later, and she was only halfway done with untying herself with repeated Finn Shots.
Three hours later, Rin got out, and fell asleep instantly. She was late for school the next day so thus she swore to kill that witch with her own bare hands.
Marisa was quickly refused the job, because her library card says that she has over a hundred overdue books. So, onto the next job da ze!
Author's Note
Right, I'm a bit mad at . BECAUSE IT'S INACCURATE! I did post a chapter yesterday, but it didn't really say that it was updated.
Anyways, here's a bit of Marisa action here. Please tell me did I get the characterization of Marisa right?
I probably won't be posting another chapter today but rather I'll be working on finished Yuyuko's and Sakuya's stats. Feel free to comment on what changes I should make.
Also, leave in a review on who Sakuya's servant is. I'm planning to have Saint George (A-rank Magic Resistance) or Ushiwakamaru (because she was raised by exorcist). Leave in the comment who you want Sakura's servant (doesn't have be the above two) as long as it's a rider class.
Also, planning to change who Caster is. Maybe changing Medea into Tamamo, but a bit iffy because of her personality.
