I was very eager to set out to the Underworld...Or, Hell of Blazing Fire.

Patchy said that there was a bridge guardian that could manipulate jealousy, a maiden with a third eye, another maiden with a third eye that was closed, a spider who could manipulate disease, a girl who controlled hellfire, a drunken oni, a cat responsible with carting away corpses, and a raven that had the power of nuclear fusion.

I decided to visit the bridge first and have a examination of the bridge guardian.

So, I quickly made a portal to transport me there.

I stepped through the portal and was greeted with the sight of a normal bridge... What a letdown. I expected it to be decorated or something...Oh well.

Then I saw a girl with curly blond hair and green eyes, and her skin appeared to be a bit green too. She was wearing an odd dress; the top was brown with purple borders and a pink sash, and the bottom was blue, purple and black with criss-crossed red strings hanging on the bottom edge. She had a pink scarf tied around her neck and pink puffy arm socks.

So this was the bridge princess, right? What an odd creature..

Then I saw a girl with brown eyes, blonde hair tied up in a bun with a ribbon. She wore a black and brown dress that was poofy under the waist. It had a yellow ribbon tied around her lower body.

The spider, maybe? She was also dressed oddly.

Then a girl that was... In a bucket? Oh my gosh, the people down here are so weird.

They spotted me and looked confused...

"Um, excuse me who are you all?", I asked.

The green-eyed girl stepped forward.

"We should be asking you the same question. I'm Parsee Mizuhashi, the one in brown is Yamame, and the one within the bucket is Kisume.", she said.

"Oh, I see... Well, i'm Flandre Scarlet. If you don't mind, i'd like to cross this bridge and visit the Hell of Blazing Fire.", I said.

"I'm sorry but I can't let you do that.", Parsee said.

Sigh, looks like I'm going to have to get my hands dirty.

"That's too bad...Well, i'm sorry but i'm going to have to do this by force, then.", I said.

I opened my bag, and grabbed my purple grimoire, still in it's miniature form.

I didn't get time to open it, when Yamame stepped forward, and threw her hands out. Webs trailed from them, and wrapped my arms to my chest, and bound the rest of me.

"Hah, how do you like that? You don't stand a chance.", she laughed.

"On the contrary, I can very well defend myself, but this is impressive... Still though, it's a letdown.", I said.

The grimoire, though bound to me, freed itself from the web and floated near my eyes.

I thought of fire, and the most amazing thing happened. It lit itself on fire.

Well, this was new.

"Hahaha, what a joke.", Kisume laughed.

But it wasn't burned...When the flames cleared, the book was red with a flame symbol on the front.

It flipped open to the first page, and sure enough, I saw my notes and spells.

Hmmm... What if...

I thought of water, and the grimoire became enveloped in water, and when it cleared, the grimoire was blue with a water symbol on the front...

This was very interesting... But no time to research it now.

The grimoire quickly picked up my command, and turned into the fire side again.

I lit the webbing on fire, careful not to burn myself in the process. I contained the fire's energy without burning me, just the web.

Then, I reverted the grimoire to it's true size, and selected a spell... Even though I didn't need my grimoire to take care of these fools, I wanted to take it out for a test spin.

"M-m-m-my webbing", the spider stammered.

"Don't worry, I've got this.", Kisume said. She floated up, then released a flurry of blue danmaku from her hand.

"Turn to fire", I said. The danmaku stopped, burst into flames, and headed back to Kisume.

The burning danmaku surrounded her, the exploded in a explosion of fire.

The impact sent her flying to the ground... And she was still in her bucket.

"That all you got? Come on, let's see some hellfire", I taunted.

She rolled around on the ground, still in her bucket, then hopped up, and righted herself in mid air.

How is it possible to hop, and your bucket is on it's side?

She screamed, and threw out her hand. Blue flames spew forth, and headed towards me.

I quickly tapped into their energy signature, and they surrounded me in a circle.

"Hmmm...These flames are very weak... A more proper person should wield them... Nah, regular flames are good enough", I said.

I canceled the flames, then teleported over to Kisume, grabbed her head, and red lightning came from my hand.

Kisume flew into a wall of rock, and landed on the ground, unconscious.

Yes, I didn't want to kill her, but she will be out for a good while.

Then, I faced the bridge princess.

"So, will you let me pass? Or do you want to end up like them?", I said.

She pulled out a card.

"Tongue Cut Sparrow, Large Box and Small Box", she shouted.

Another Parsee appeared.

They both disappeared and reappeard.

One started shooting out large green danmaku, and the other shot small danmaku.

I dodged them easily.

Which one was the real one? Oh what a bother.

I thought of nature, and my grimoire sprouted flowers, and when the petals fell, my grimorie was green, with a flower on the front.

Where is it... Where is it... Oh!

The pages stopped flipping, and I found what I was looking for.

"If a dryad crosses into a new season, does her power wither for a moment?"

The danmaku stopped, and I looked up.

There was only one Parsee, and her hands were tied by a vine with thorns on it.

"If a dryad goes astray, does mother Gaia abandon her?"

A huge vine with thorns sprouted from the ground, and twisted around Parsee.

She screamed as the vines encircled her, and dug into her skin.

"The dryad's fury is the fury of nature itself"

A green magic circle appeared underneath me, and a second vine encircled Parsee.

"The snares of the maidens of nature encircle the soul, and leave you breathless.", I finished.

A third vine, bigger than the rest, encircled the first and second, leaving Parsee in a cocoon of 3 vines.

"Bloody Rose", I finished.

Roses sprouted on the vines, and glowed red. I quickly created a portal to the palace of the Hell of Blazing Fire.

...

And somewhere near the bridge that led to the underworld, an explosion happened.
