I quickly made my way towards Flandre, but I suddenly stopped when a horrible pain swelled up in my head. I've never had such a bad migraine before. What's going on? I grabbed a hold of my head then started to scream and thrash around in the air. If only everyone else would stop screaming. It is like they are right in my ear. I can't help any of you if you don't just shut the hell up! This pain is unbearable! I say that, but the muscles in my body began to tighten up as I felt my power being poured into them, making me stronger. At least I think it's my power. Feels different. Feels good… That doesn't matter anyways. I need to get to Flandre. I need to get to her now!
After I finally calmed down I continued on my way to find Flandre. Speaking of Flandre… I see her! I've finally caught up to her! Flandre! I stopped once she saw me. Oh my… Flandre… Her power is completely out of control. Her skin is cracking with a red, chaotic haze emitting from the cracks. Sparks crackled around her as she hugged herself, desperately trying to keep her power from getting loose. She's been trying to stay away from anyone one this entire time. She knows better than to hurt people and she's trying her damn hardest not to. She's such a good girl, but she needs my help!
"S-Stay… a-away…" Flandre struggled to say. Her voice was distorted. Warped… Don't speak, Flandre. Hong is here to help you! "Your… not… H-Hong…" What? Don't be silly, Flandre. Of course I am. I want to go and hug her, but all I did was grin at her. "GET AWAY!" She screamed and when she did, she unleashed a destructive red shockwave. I quickly held up my hands in front of me to block it. The blast hit me hard. It hurt… really, really badly. Smoke rose from my body as I lowered my arms, still holding a dark grin. "P-Please… Just leave me alone…" She said to me. She's crying… Please don't cry, little Flandre. It's okay now.
I slowly hovered towards Flandre. She looked scared to death. There's no need to be scared Flandre. Everything is alright now. I'm here. I will protect you! Before I could get close enough to hold her, a large shadow was suddenly cast over us. We both looked up above us to see a… Ship? A big, wooden ship hovering above us in the air… Where the hell did that come from? I turned to face Flandre once again then rushed for her, but I stopped when a pink cloud was suddenly in between us. It formed into a face of an old man with a beard. It slowly shook its head from side to side. How weird… Ah! I don't care what it is! Get out of my way!
"Think again if you think I will let you touch this child with your blood stained hands." I heard a voice of a woman.
I looked up in the air to see five girls. One had grey hair and the ears and tail of a mouse. Another had blond hair and held some kind of spear. A weird looking pagoda was tied to her side. Another had black hair and wore clothes that looked like what a sailor would wear. Another had long, light purple hair and had some kind of hood on her head. The last one had long hair that seemed to fade to purple at the top. Power radiated from her…
"I think it is safe to say that this youkai was the one who killed those other youkai." The sailor girl said. Who is she talking about?
"Indeed, Murasa." The brown hair lady said. She looked at me with disgust. What the hell is her problem? She floated towards Flandre then spoke. "My name is Byakuren Hijiri and I am here to help you." Like hell you are! You're here to seal her away aren't you?
"No! Stay away!" Flandre cried out then quickly flew away. No! Flandre! Grrr… These damn people… Getting in my way to save Flandre…
"No! Wait, little one!" The woman… Byakuren I think it was, shouted. She clicked her teeth. "Darn. She needs our help, badly."
"Then go help her, Lady Byakuren. We'll deal with this… thing…" The blond hair girl said as she looked at me with an intense stare. What the hell is these peoples' problem?
"No. I cannot allow you all to fight this evil youkai by yourselves. Not after seeing what she has done to those other youkai…" Byakuren said. Who you calling evil?
"You have no choice, Lady Byakuren. That girl is getting away. She needs help to get that insane power of hers under control. She might end up hurting herself and many others at this rate." The girl in the nun outfit said.
"But Ichirin-"
"She's right! Get going quickly!" The mouse girl said. "We'll hold her here until you get back."
"Or we'll beat the snot out of her and help you help that girl." The sailor girl, Murasa said as a cocky smirk appeared on her face.
Byakuren sighed. "Fine. Keep her here. Do nothing else but protect one another. You understand me?" She asked.
"Yes, ma'am!" The other four girls exclaimed while the cloud thing saluted her.
Byakuren nodded then quickly chased after Flandre. Stupid woman! I won't let you anywhere near Flandre! Though I say that, I started to chuckle to myself as the others prepared for a fight. It is kind of funny. They think they can keep me away from Flandre? Don't they know who the hell I am?
"Eh heh… Ah ha! AHHAHAHAHA!" I burst out into a laugh. I couldn't stop for some reason. Even at times like this, it's good to laugh. Helps relieve stress. The annoying girls simply looked at me strangely.
"I'll give you something to laugh about!" Murasa shouted.
She suddenly pulled out a huge anchor. Where did she get that? She flew towards me with her weapon at the ready. I can't let myself be hit by something like that! I'm sure it would hurt like hell! Once the sailor girl got into range, she swung the anchor with all of her strength while I just floated in the air, still laughing. She struck me right in the forehead with it. The amazing part is I didn't budge one bit. It still hurt though.
"Eh? But how? I hit her with everything I had!" Murasa exclaimed. She looks very shocked and disappointed. I stopped laughing and just looked at her while wearing a dark smile. The anchor had cracked where it had hit me. I grabbed a hold of it then tore it out of her hands. "Hey! Damn-" Before she could finish her sentence, I tossed her own weapon at her. I hit her and sent her flying into that weird ship that hovered above us.
"Murasa!" The other girls shouted.
"Nazrin, stay close to me." The blond girl said to the mouse girl.
"Yes, Miss Shou." The mouse girl said.
The blond girl, Shou, flew towards me with Nazrin right behind her. If these idiots are so determined to get in my way, then I have no choice but to defeat them. They both pulled out a spell card. I'm ready!
"Jeweled Pagoda "Radiant Treasure Gun"!" Shou shouted.
"Jeweled Pagoda "Greatest Treasure" Nazrin shouted.
A stream of red danmaku fired from the blond hair girl while a stream of blue danmaku fired from the grey hair one. I must say, their spell cards put together like that makes it look really beautiful. But enough admiring their spell cards, it's time to show them mine! I went to pull out one of my own spell cards, but I was suddenly grabbed by a giant pink hand made of clouds!
"Good work, Unzan." The woman, Ichirin, said. Damn it! You think this cloud thing will stop me?
My grin grew larger as I felt more power swell up within me. With a burst of power, I broke out of the pink cloud's grip.
"Unzan!" Ichirin shouted.
I held my hand in the air while the streams of danmaku made their way towards me. They suddenly started to slow their approach as they got closer. They suddenly stopped for a moment then began to be pulled into my hand. All of their danmaku started to condense into a single, purple danmaku in the palm of my hand.
"How is she doing that?" Nazrin exclaimed.
"Prepare yourself!" Shou shouted.
"Here! You can have them back!" I yelled.
I took the purple ball of energy then thrusted it in front of me, sending out several streams of purple danmaku. Shou and Nazrin made haste and started to dodge them, but my danmaku moved too fast. They should have chosen their opponent more carefully. They did a good job at dodging my danmaku, but their speed soon overtook them. Each of them took many hits and were knocked out of the sky.
"Iron Fist "An Unarguable Youkai Punch"!" I heard Ichirin call out.
I looked to my side to see a giant pink fist coming towards me. That pink cloud thing is persistent…. I casually held out my hand and easily stopped it in its tracks. It burst into a formless cloud that quickly surrounded me. Is it trying to crush me now? I took the knife that was tied to my sash then held it up into the air. It glowed an ominous dark blue. Where did I get this thing from anyways? Suddenly, the cloud began to be sucked into the strange knife. It desperately tried to escape, but it was soon devoured.
"Un… Unzan…?" Ichirin said. She looked confused. "What did she just do…?" I kinda would like to know as well.
I tied the knife back to my sash. My fighting aura then began to envelope me. It was a dark, faded blue. Much different from my usual radiant light blue. I wonder why the change?
"What… are you…?" Ichirin asked as a sweat drop ran down her face. I merely smirked at her. I'm Hong Meiling! Gate Keeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion! "Unzan! Unzan, where are you? Come to my side!" She called out, but no one answered her. She named that cloud thing?
"Search Sign "Gold Detector"!" Nazrin called out.
"Light Sign "Aura of Justice"!" Shou called out.
"Damn, bitch!" Murasa screamed as she reappeared. Go to hell! "Ghost "Dipper Creeping Close"!"
All three fired danmaku of all kinds at me. They must be really desperate to defeat me. Strange… I'm not worried one bit. I made no attempt to dodge the horde of danmaku instead taking the full blunt of their attacks. I was engulfed in a large explosion as the danmaku hit their mark. I could hear those idiots shouting out with joy, but their joyful shouting ended once the smoke was blown away by the wind. Did they really think I'd go down so easily? They all looked worried now. Just as they should be.
"Damn it!" Nazrin exclaimed. "That was a direct hit!"
"This youkai is more powerful than we originally thought." Shou said nervously.
"Yuh think?" Murasa said.
"But where is she getting all of that power?" Nazrin asked.
"Where indeed…" Ichirin said worriedly.
I held up my hand above my head. "My turn…" I said. I then snapped my fingers, letting out a powerful air burst that rippled through the air. The four girls didn't have the chance to react and thus were hit hard, but they managed to quickly recover with a couple of then spitting up blood.
"Damn it… You guys alright?" Murasa asked the others.
"We… We're live…" Nazrin said as she wiped some blood from her mouth.
"Not for long." I said when I appeared in front of the mouse girl, surprising her. "Attack Sign "Roc Fist"!" I shouted then took aim for Nazrin with my deathly flame covered fist. My powerful strike connected right with her head, sending out a splatter of blood, bone shards and other organic matter. Her headless body fell to the ground below.
"NAZRIN!" The other girls screamed.
"You! You damn monster!" Shou yelled. She looked like she was swelling with rage. Looks like she's a sore loser.
"You'll pay for that!" Murasa shouted then charged for me while wielding her anchor. Shou followed right behind her with her spear shacking in her hand.
"No! We can't win like this! She's too powerful!" Ichirin called out to her comrades, but it looks like her words fell on deaf ears because they continued to charge for me. She's right though. They can't win against me!
Once Shou and Murasa got close, they started to swing their respective weapons at me with great determination. I easily dodged their anger induced swings, laughing at them every time they missed and causing them more grief. Their swings were already wild from the get go. Now they have absolutely no focus in their swings. Are they that upset that I beat one of their comrades? I danced around them while I continued my somewhat creepy laughter.
"Damn you!" Murasa yelled out in frustration. I ducked when she swung her massive anchor, causing her to accidently hit her friend in the side of the head. "Shou! I'm so sorr-" I had taken the opportunity to stab her in the chest with that strange knife I've been carrying. She looked down at the knife with a terrified expression. "No… NOOOOOO!" She shrieked as she was suddenly sucked into the blade. What the? What kind of weapon is this?
"Murasa! Murasa!" Ichirin shouted. "What is that thing…?" She looked like a nervous wreck. Well two down and two to go! "Shou! Get away from her! Run away!"
"There is no escape." I said as I turned to face Shou who was just recovering from the hit she took a second ago. My voice seemed to have an eerie echo to it. Odd…
"No… You brought tears to Byakuren's eyes. Now pay for what you have done!" Shou shouted at me then continued her relentlessly attacks with her spear.
"No! We need Byakuren's help to stop her! Please, Shou!" Ichirin cried out, but quickly realized her words weren't getting to her friend.
Shou tried desperately to pierce me with her spear, but none of her strikes landed. Maybe if she would calm down for just a second and focus she might land a hit on me. Maybe… It looks like she as a lot of determination. Just like me… She thrusted her spear at my heart but I smacked it out of the way then jabbed her in the face. I pummeled her several times with quick punches before suddenly being hit in the back by an energy attack. I kicked Shou in the stomach to knock her back then turned around to see Ichirin creating another blue sphere of spirit energy. I could see her veins popping out in her head as she poured all that she could into that one sphere.
"I won't let you take any more lives!" Ichirin yelled then threw the ball of energy at me. I merely smirked then formed my own energy ball. I threw it, sending it smashing through her attack. "What?" Is all she could say before being struck in the chest by my attack, knocking her out of the air and to the ground below.
"DIIIEEE!" Shou screamed.
She went to stab me in the back with her spear, but I quickly turned around with a round house kick. I hit her so hard that I severed her at the waist. Her eyes went dim as she spat up blood. I formed an energy ball in my hand then tossed it at her chest, incinerating her top half in an explosion. I watched as her bottom half fell into the sorest somewhere.
I slowly floated back to the ground. I looked around the area. What am I looking for? Surely they all have been defeated. Oh! I found that nun looking girl. Looks like she's still able to move. She struggled to stand up as she clenched her chest. Looks like my attack burnt her pretty badly. Sorry about that, but you all got in my way. I can't hold back for your sake.
"Byakuren… We need… Byakuren…" She struggled to say. You need to accept defeat so I can be on my way. I looked down at my feet to spot that spear that one girl was using. I bent down to pick it up. There was a speck of blood on it. "Shou… Not you too…" She said as her eyes began to water. She stood her ground and stared at me with hate, but suddenly turned around then took off into the air.
Well that's that. I'll probably end up fighting her again when I find that other woman considering how stubborn these people are, but oh well… I grinned at the fleeing youkai then took the spear in my hand then threw it. It traveled in the air with intense speed before piercing the girl right in the back and sending her back to the ground. I slowly made my way towards her as she yanked the spear out of her back. She coughed a little then turned to face me. She looked at me with a terrified expression when I picked up the spear.
"Curse you, you monster!" She cried out then blasted me with a few danmaku, but they all bounced harmlessly off of me. She's still trying to put up a fight? She's just being stupid now. She went to get up on her feet to run away, but I tripped her. I kicked her over onto her back. I looked down at her as she stared back up at me with her watery, hate filled eyes. "What are you going to do?" She asked.
I grinned at her while holding the spear right above her. I jammed it into her chest, causing her to yelp. I pulled it out then stabbed her once again in a different spot of her chest, causing her to yelp in pain some more. I started to continuously stab her with the spear over and over again. She seemed to try to tell me top stop, but she couldn't get her words out in between her constant yelps of pain. After a long session of stabbing her to death, I finally stopped. She was still alive, but she breathed slowly and weakly. Her chest is covered in blood too… I took the spear then planted it into the ground with the blade sticking up. I stepped on the dying youkai's chest then reached for her head. I grabbed a hold of it then started to jerk it around, creating sick cracking and tearing noises. I then tore her head off of her shoulders then stood up straight. I looked into her eyes as the light in them slowly vanished. I took the head then jammed it on the spear with the blade piercing out of the top of her skull. Blood dripped down the long pole before soaking the ground. I'm… feeling sick for some reason…
I looked up into the sky at the ship that still floated there. I held my hands together then started to pour my power into them. I slowly pulled them apart, creating a pale blue ball of dense energy. Once it was finished, I tossed the ball into the air at the boat. Once my attack hit, the boat was engulfed in a giant explosion. I could only laugh as I watched a downpour of burning debris.
I shouldn't be laughing at a time like this. I know somewhere Flandre is crying and I must be the one to wipe away those tears. I let her slip through my fingers because of those bastards. I won't let that happen a second time…! I was just about to get a move on when suddenly that horrible pain in my head resurfaced along with everyone else's screaming. I grabbed a hold of my pained head. Why is this happening at a time like this? This hurts so badly. And this strange power… I can feel it crawling beneath my skin. It's making me feel sick. I can't take this for much longer! Stop it! Stop it!
"STOP IIITTT!"
