Guest: Rin Satsuki? As in the kirin menace from the infamous Imperfect Metamorphosis story here on this site? Are you going to take anything from that story?
Game2002: Rin Satsuki is a cancelled character from Touhou 6 and not an original creation from Imperfect Metamorphosis, assuming you think she's one. Since I didn't take a serious look at that story, there won't be anything from that story here. The only things we know about her is that she is likely a kirin and a nurse, but they are only fan speculations. Everything else about her in Imperfect Metamorphosis is made up.

Guest: Who is Orange?
Game2002: She's the first boss of Touhou 4 and looks a lot like Meiling.

Had quite a hard time coming up with this chapter, but I'm glad things turned out well in the end!

Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 11
The Brave and the Bold

A beast made entirely out of dark-colored rock standing thirty meters tall, the rock Appellaxian in the form of a rhinoceros charged through an unfortunate city, tearing down every building he came across and trampling whatever was in his way. The alien eventually came to a stop and then raised his head into the air while letting out a loud howl-like cry, likely out of satisfaction after having caused so much damage.

Suddenly, an unlikely challenger appeared almost out of nowhere through the method of sizing increasing. Growing to the same size as the Appellaxian, Suika taunted him, "Hey you! Looking for someone to pick a fight with? C'mon! I'll gladly take on you!"

The Appellaxian did not know who she was nor did he understand what she said, but since she looked like she wanted to challenge him, he wouldn't give no for an answer. The Appellaxian raised his hind legs into the air while letting out another howl-like cry before charging forward on all fours to run down the giant oni, thinking it would be a short and easy fight.

"That's the spirit!" Suika said as she pulled back her fist. She waited for the Appellaxian to get closer and closer and closer… and then she unleashed a powerful uppercut at his chin, shattering his head into seemingly hundreds of pieces.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

The rest of the body flipped back through the air as rocks rained down around it, and when it hit the pavement on its back, it quickly crumbled into pieces. Suika flexed her arm and exclaimed, "Yeah! I win! I don't mind a short and simple victory if it ends with a bang!"

Nearby, Steel, Raiko, and Tenshi were at a loss of words at how fast the oni managed to take out the Appellaxian. The fact that she resolved everything by herself made their presence absolutely pointless.

"Seriously?!" Steel said in disbelief.

"For someone who likes to have fun, she sure knows how to take the fun away from other people…" grumbled Tenshi.

The giant golden eagle which is the Appellaxian that used gold as his host body soared through the air at a fast speed that caused a large amount of wind to be whipped up, blowing away and tearing up almost everything underneath it. Even buildings were not safe from having pieces of their exterior and their glass panels getting torn off and blown away.

The golden Appellaxian screeched loudly as he made a u-turn, planning to fly across the city again to cause even more damage to it. However, shortly after he turned around, someone flew into him at a fast speed and smashed him in the face with a mace, causing him to go off course, but he recovered before coming anywhere close to the pavement.

After landing a blow to the Appellaxian, Hawkgirl turned around to face him and then threw her mace at him. However, the Appellaxian easily swatted it away with his wing, only to get hit from behind by something that hurt more or less just as much as Hawkgirl's mace. He turned around in anger just in time to see another mace returning to Hawkman.

Suddenly, Aya shot down diagonally from above, hitting him hard in the side of the head with a powerful dive kick. Momiji then dashed past him, leaving behind a gash on his left wing using her sword. Just as the Appellaxian was recovering from the assaults, Hatate, after having locked onto various parts of his body using her cell phone, fired several energy beams that homed in on and struck the targeted spots.

The Appellaxian screeched in anger at being attacked from various directions by several people at once, but he wasn't even done screeching yet when Mokou shot up from below with a pair of fiery wings on her back, hitting him in the chin with a powerful, fiery uppercut.

POW!

After that, Mokou, with her fingers on her, raised her hand into the air and pulled it back. "Hollow Giant: Woo!" Swinging down her hands, she released fiery claw marks that made the Appellaxian feel like he was really slashed by burning claws when struck in the face. His left eye was also made blind as a result.

Realizing that he was being overwhelmed, the Appellaxian spread out his wings in an attempt to push away everyone around himself, especially Mokou, and then he quickly flew away as fast as he could, heading in the direction of the outskirt of the city.

"Don't let him get away!" said Hawkman loudly before giving chase with everyone else.

"You think you can outrun me? Think again!" said Aya as she flew at a speed that surpassed her comrades. She quickly caught up with the Appellaxian and followed it from above. "See? You can't outrun me!"

The Appellaxian suddenly performed a spin in an attempt to hit her with his wings, but she saw this coming in the nick of time and avoided it by moving higher up. The Appellaxian then backed away from the tengu before flapping his wings hard to fire golden feathers that shot through the air like darts, but Aya managed to dodge them with ease.

Hawkman and Hawkgirl deflected the incoming feathers with their maces when the former headed for them. Seeing that the others were closing in on him, the Appellaxian flapped even harder to fire more feathers at once. Aya dodged them while moving back a bit of a distance from him, and then she swung her fan hard to unleash a large vertical tornado.
"Wind Sign: Wind of the Tengu Path!" The feathers were caught in the tornado and brought back in a spinning motion to the Appellaxian. Not only did the tornado push him back through the air while making him spin, he was also stabbed by his own feathers.

The others finally caught up with Aya, and then Mokou said to her, "Seeing you do that just now gave me an idea! Batman told me to come along so I can easily defeat that guy with my fire."

"I get it! Use my wind to fan your fire! Smart thinking!" Aya said to her, and then she pulled back her fan. "All right! Let's do this! Wind Sind: Wind of the Tengu Path!" She performed the same attack again, and then Mokou quickly pointed her hands at the tornado to release two streams of fire that quickly combined with each other to become one large stream of fire. When the fire came in contact with the tornado, a fiery tornado was created.

The Appellaxian had just recovered from the previous attack when the fire tornado struck him. He screamed in agony as his body of gold started to melt away from the intense heat. When all that was left of him was the neck and the head, Hawkman flew above him and gave him a powerful strike to the top of the latter.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

What was left of the Appellaxian shot straight to the ground and shattered into pieces, and shortly after that, trails of light green energy came out from the pieces and merged together on the ground to form what appeared to be an orange-skinned, bald humanoid wearing a futuristic battle suit of some kind. He groaned in pain as he crawled forward a few steps before standing up, and then the people who fought him landed all around him, making him scared.

"Is this his true form?" Hatate asked.

Hawkman grabbed the alien by the shoulder from behind and replied, "Yes, this is their true form. We'll be taking him alive. Also, great job, everyone!"

The sea was probably the worst place to run into danger, as humans simply weren't born to travel on water at a proper speed. Even if one were on a large ship, there was nothing one could do when danger was approaching at a speed faster than the ship could move.

The crew of a cargo ship was panicking greatly at the sight of something nearly invisible piercing through the water like a torpedo and heading in their direction. They had earlier witnessed another cargo ship getting destroyed when this thing, whatever it was, went through it like going through paper, and now it was heading in their direction.

Just when hope seemed lost, something hit the "invisible" thing from the side, causing it to go off course. The crew members didn't know what happened, but they were relieved, knowing that they managed to escape danger.

Underwater, Aquaman managed to push a large barracuda made of glass away from the cargo ship. Having a body made of glass and being underwater were the perfect combination for being nearly invisible, but even so, the king of Atlantis was still able to see him, albeit with a bit of squinting.

Aquaman pushed the Appellaxian away from the ship as far as he could before shoving him forward to get ready to engage him properly. The alien glared at him for a few seconds before opening his mouth and then charging at him, but he managed to catch him by the lower jaw and then swung him in a circle once before hurling him away. As the Appellaxian "soared" through the water, Minamitsu made herself visible and pulled back her anchor, and when the fish made of glass was close, she swung it at his back.

However, as the Appellaxian was able to charge through ships without shattering himself, he was able to withstand getting hit by an anchor. The hit caused him to fly back a little, and then he swung his tail at her, to which she responded by swinging her anchor at it to deflect it. Deciding that he had to come up with a strategy of some kind first, the Appellaxian quickly turned and swam away from the ship ghost as fast as he could, but even at his top speed, he was no match for the swimming speed of Aquaman.

The king of Atlantis caught him from behind. As the Appellaxian struggled to escape his grasp, Wakasagihime swam towards him and then stopped at a certain distance before swinging her tail hard to unleash a barrage of scale-shaped energy projectiles. However, if even an anchor wasn't able to shatter his exterior, then projectiles not meant to do fatal harm to people most definitely wouldn't do anything to it.

Seeing her as a minor nuisance that can be taken care of with ease, the Appellaxian turned to her in an attempt to crush her with his jaws, but the mermaid quickly swam to the side and then, with a powerful swing of her tail, gave him a slapping that hurt more than it seemed.

Being underwater was a good thing for Wakasagihime after all, as it was where her power would increase greatly, surpassing the strength of humans. Even her projectile attacks were stronger, though that didn't seem obvious when she used them against the alien…

Still grabbing onto his tail, Aquaman swam up fast, heading for the surface and dragging the Appellaxian along with him. When he leaped out of the water, he flung the alien high into the air, a sight that surprised the crews of the aforementioned cargo ship.

Nearby, Black Canary and Kyouko were standing in a motorboat. Knowing what they had to do when they saw the alien being hurled into the air, they both took a deep breath and then screamed as loud as they could to unleash sound waves that made the air look distorted.

When the sound waves came in contact with the airborne Appellaxian, cracks appeared all over his body. It was a known fact that high-pitched sound frequency was capable of shattering glass, which was why Black Canary and Kyouko were chosen to deal with this particular Appellaxian.

With cracks all over his body, the Appellaxian fell back into the water, pieces of his body breaking off when he hit the surface. Wakasagihime attacked with projectiles in the same manner again, and thanks to his body being cracked, they were able to go through him and shatter him even more. The Appellaxian let out a cry that was barely audible underwater, and then trails of light green energy came out from him just before the whole thing shattered into pieces. The trails of energy went to the water surface and gathered together to become his true form.

As the Appellaxian flailed his arms around in water, not because he didn't know how to swim, but because he was panicking and wondering what to do next, Aquaman caught him from behind and then swam for the motorboat to throw him onto it. He then got onto the motorboat himself, while Minamitsu and Wakasagihime poked their upper torsos out next to it. "Good work, girls!" Aquaman said to his comrades.

Knowing that the girls from Gensokyo didn't understand what he said, he gave them a thumb up to let them know that they did a great job. Minamitsu gave him a thumb up as well. Kyouko flapping her ears in a manner that made her look really adorable as she happily exclaimed that she helped defeated an enemy, while Black Canary smiled and petted her on the head.

After taking a deep breath, Suwako released a large amount of water from her mouth at the Appellaxian taking the form of a fiery wolf. However, the Appellaxian wasn't one to stand in one place when his weakness was heading in his direction. He caused his body to split into separate trails of fire that went around the water and gathered together behind the goddess to change back to normal.

Suwako looked back in surprise, and the Appellaxian was about to breathe fire at her when suddenly a vertical tornado struck him from the side and blew him away.

After pushing the Appellaxian out of the way and saving Suwako, Red Tornado flew toward the alien while it was in the midst of getting back up and pointed his hands at him to cause a tornado to start forming around him. The tornado started off short, but it quickly grew to a towering size that trapped the Appellaxian within it, eventually causing his host body to merge with it and become a fiery tornado.

Suwako decided this was the perfect time to act. Clasping her hands, she said out loud, "Spring Sign: Horrid River Jade!" A large amount of water, more so than when she released it from her mouth, gushed out of the sand behind her and rushed towards the fire tornado. Despite the water running into the goddess from behind, she wasn't pushed forward at all, almost as if she was a rock firmly embedded to the ground.

The water came in contact with the fire tornado, merging with it and quickly dowsing the fire, and a loud, painful howl could be heard coming from it. Eventually, the tornado died down, and the Appellaxian, in his true form, fell to the sand on his front, accomplished by millions and millions of drops of water.

Red Tornado, Suwako, and Nitori approached the seemingly unconscious Appellaxian, and the latter asked, "Is this what he is supposed to look like?"

Suwako translated what she said to Red Tornado, and the android replied, "I may not have faced the Appellaxians when they first came, but I have seen the league's database and can confirm that this is what they actually look like."

"Doesn't look intimidating to me at all…" Suwako commented. "No wonder they chose to have host bodies to make themselves stronger and fiercer-looking! Too bad being in the desert doesn't mean there's absolutely no water!"

A trail of mercury rushed down the street and made several turns around buildings to escape his pursuer, a woman covered in green fire.

Fire shot streams of fire that were the same color as her at the Appellaxian that used mercury as his host body, but the alien, despite not looking back at her, was able to tell that the shots were approaching and thus avoided them by bending his liquid body and even making holes in them. Nevertheless, the fiery superheroine continued to attack him, hoping that she would eventually get a shot.

The Appellaxian made another turn and, shortly after doing so, crashed into something seemingly invisible. As it turned out, Reimu had created a large translucent wall in front of him to block his progress forward, a plan she came up with when the alien started running from them.

Fire quickly caught up with the alien, and, taking advantage of him running into a dead end, released a large amount of fire from her hands at him. The Appellaxian quickly leaped over a building at the side, though the fire did manage to hit it. However, being exposed to it for a very short amount of time wasn't enough to do fatal harm to it.

"Man! He's good at escaping!" Fire commented.

The Appellaxian landed on the other side of the building and then took the form of a snake. Shortly after changing into that form, he was shot in the side of the head by something very small, and though it didn't hurt him, it was still enough to make him realize that something had hit him, so he turned and saw Eirin floating a few meters away from him.

"I bet you have no idea what hit you just now!" the Lunarian doctor said to him in English.

Seeing that all she had was a bow, the Appellaxian thought he could easily deal with her. Just as he was closing in on her to catch her with his mouth, he suddenly felt a large amount of pain and also a burning feeling inside his body. The alien writhed in pain while hissing loudly, and Eirin said to him, "I fired an arrow tied with a capsule containing sulfuric acid, which is one of the things capable of dissolving mercury, into you, so now you're feeling lots of pain."

Fire and Reimu flew over to where the Appellaxian was, and Eirin smiled at them to let them know that she did what she wanted to do. Fire nodded with a smile before shooting a stream of fire at the Appellaxian, bringing even more pain to it. Exposure to fire combined with the sulfuric acid dissolving him from the inside made the Appellaxian more and more unable to maintain his form and even became smaller and smaller.

The Appellaxian shrunk to a very small size, and just before he was vaporized entirely, a trail of energy came out from the small puddle of mercury and changed into his true form at the sidewalk. He quickly got up and ran, but Reimu hit him with the face with a dive kick to knock him out on his back.

Fire and Eirin landed next to her, and the former gave the shrine maiden a thumb up for her job well done, to which she simply responded with a slight nod.

"Oh my!" Yuuka commented as the shadow of the towering Appellaxian taking the form of a tortoise compromised of various nature-related materials walked past her, not noticing her. Looking at him was almost like looking at the "World Turtle" found in certain mythologies and folklores.

He had a body, or shell, that was made from a combination of soil and rock, and it was like a piece of landmass in the way that there were trees and some other kinds of smaller plants growing out the top of it. His legs were made of wood and looked just like tree trunks, even having knotholes on them. His head was also made of wood, and the top of it was covered in moss.

As the massive Appellaxian, growing as tall as forty meters and having a width of about sixty meters, stomped across the countryside, sending the people and animals fleeing at the sight of him, Yuuka slowly walked alongside him at a close but safe distance, curious to see where such an imposing creature was heading to. "I didn't expect the outside world to have a demon like this!" she commented while looking up at him.

She followed and kept an eye on the Appellaxian as he made his way towards a house that had been deserted when the people living in there saw the alien coming from afar. The alien crushed the house underneath one of his tree trunk-like feet, either doing it on purpose or never noticing it in the first place. Yuuka didn't show looks of shock on her face at all, as she was never really someone who cared about other people and their properties' wellbeing, even going as far as not saving lives on purpose.

Yuuka continued to watch the Appellaxian continue on his way, and up ahead, one could see the sight of a city. If the Appellaxian wasn't going to change his direction, then it was obvious he was on his way there.

Just then, something that might hinder the alien's progress forward showed up in the form of a pickup truck carrying Cyborg, Atom Smasher, Marisa, Shou, Rin, and Youmu. The jeep stopped about half a kilometer away from the approaching alien, and then Cyborg said to the girls, "All right! Let's give him all we've got! No need to worry about accidentally killing him, because as long as the Appellaxian has a host body, he will not die! Destroying his host body will leave him with no choice but to reveal his true form, and then we will capture him before he escapes or finds another host body."

"Got it!" the four girls replied before getting off the jeep and approaching the alien at a fast speed.

Cyborg then turned to Atom Smasher and said to him, "You stay put. In case this plan doesn't work, it's your turn."

"Got it!" Atom Smasher said while punching his palm.

When Yuuka saw the girls, she was surprised. "Well! Sure didn't expect to see them here!"

As the four girls closed in on the Appellaxian, who didn't seem to be doing anything other than moving forward, Marisa said, "All right! Let's take down that thing with a bang and a bit of love!" Then she pointed her hands at the alien's head to fire a series of star-shaped projectiles. "Radial Strike!"

Rin leaped into the air with her limbs sprawled out as if she was jumping in excitement to make flaming skulls with clattering mouths appear out of thin air, and when she pointed her arms at the Appellaxian, they flew at him at a fast speed and headed for the "miniature forest" on his back. When the skulls came in contact with the trees, they set them on fire.

Shou raised her miniature pagoda into the air, and it took a few seconds to glow brightly before firing several laser beams that moved in curved trajectories at the alien, creating medium-sized explosions whenever they hit somewhere on his body.

While the Appellaxian was crying from getting blasted and having the trees on his back burned down, Youmu ran straight up one of his legs and then, after jumping off it while facing it, swung her larger sword horizontally once. Just like that, the leg was severed and came falling down like a tree cut by a woodcutter.

With one leg cut off, the alien struggled to stand properly, all the while enduring the projectiles being fired at him and the "forest fire" on his back. Youmu proceeded to go for the other legs using flight and did the same to them. Once all the remaining legs were cut off, she quickly flew away from him before he fell down on top of her. The alien hit the ground with a mighty belly flop that shook the earth quite a bit.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"My! What are they doing to that poor thing?" wondered Yuuka, though she actually wasn't showing any concern or pity to the Appellaxian.

"Great going, girls!" Cyborg said to the four girls as they gathered around him. "Now sit back and watch a veteran do his job!" His shoulders opened up and fired several devices that flew towards the Appellaxian.

The alien suddenly withdrew his head and the remains of legs into his shell and started spinning at a fast speed. In doing so, he made the fire on his back fly all over the place, and the devices fired by Cyborg either got knocked out of the air by the flames or were repelled by the high-speed spinning. Everyone panicked and ran from the flames falling in their direction, but Rin didn't panic as much, even when one fell on her and spread all over her body.

When the Appellaxian stopped spinning, the fire on his back was more or less put out completely. He brought back out his head and legs, and the latter had returned to their original lengths. After standing back up, the alien let out a roar, while trees quickly grew from his back to replace the ones burned down.

"Uh oh… Didn't go as planned…" said Cyborg nervously.

"What are you people up to?" asked Yuuka as she walked over to them. They turned to see her, and the girls were surprised at the sight of her.

"Yuuka!" said Marisa.

"Where did you come from?" Youmu asked her.

"I've been following that demon," Yuuka replied. "I spent my time in a nearby village until…" Then she looked at the Appellaxian. "…that thing showed up."

"One of the people from your place?" Cyborg asked the girls, to which they responded by nodding. "Good to know that we found another one! But now isn't the time to celebrate! We have to stop that alien over there first! Can she help in any way?"

"You want me to help deal with that demon?" Yuuka asked as she looked at the alien again. "What is that thing and why are you people attacking it?"

"Long answer short: he's a monster that supposedly came back for revenge after getting beaten up by this guy and his friends a long time ago," Marisa told her while pointing at Cyborg with her thumb. "And this guy is one of the people who found out we're here and gathered us together so that we can somehow return to Gensokyo."

The Appellaxian let out another roar as he moved in their direction. Cyborg and the girls watched him approach, and the former said, "Let's save the explanation for some other time. We'll need to deal with him now!"

"Fine, I'll help," said Yuuka as she walked in the direction of the Appellaxian. "You owe me a clearer explanation for everything that's happening afterward, and also let me know if Kurumi and Elly are with you people."

"You can take on him alone?" Youmu asked her.

"Underestimate me, will you?" said Yuuka without turning her head. The demon walked toward the Appellaxian until she was about ninety meters away from him, and then she pointed her hand at him. When she flicked her hand upwards, thick vines suddenly burst out from the parts of the ground around his legs and wrapped themselves around them to keep him from moving forward. Even with his massive size, the Appellaxian wasn't able to tear the vines.

"Vines?! Is her power plant manipulation?" asked Cyborg in surprise.

"She's known as the flower demon, so what do you think?" Marisa asked him with a smile.

"All right! It's really my turn now! You just keep on holding him down with your vines, okay?" Atom Smasher said to Yuuka as he walked past her, though she didn't understand the language he was using. He suddenly grew in size as he flexed in arms, a feat that surprised the girls.

"Wow! He's just like Suika!" Marisa said in surprise.

Noticing that Atom Smasher was still very small compared to the Appellaxian, despite after growing in size, Shou asked, "Um… Is that the biggest he can grow? I don't think that's enough to take on that monster…"

"Oh, you better not be underestimating the strength he has!" Cyborg told her with a smile.

Atom Smasher let out a loud war cry as he ran towards the struggling Appelliaxian, and with a powerful punch to one of his legs, he shattered it into pieces like it was made of Styrofoam. He then headed for the rest of the legs and shattered them one by one. After destroying the last leg at the back, the Appellaxian cried out loud as his body fell down, but Atom Smasher didn't run away from underneath him. Instead, he quickly got as close as possible to the center and raised his hand to catch him. Mustering all his strength into his arms, the giant superhero raised the alien high over his head.

"Wow! He's strong!" exclaimed Marisa. "He'll definitely give Suika a run for her money! I think…"

Atom Smasher hurled the Appellaxian to the side in a way that made him land on his back.

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

With a shout, he jumped onto the underside of the Appellaxian and punched the center of it hard to create a hole on it. Seeing this, Cyborg knew it was time for him to make his move. He used a jet pack that appeared out of his back to fly towards the Appellaxian at a fast speed. Landing on the alien's underside, he quickly ran for the hole created by Atom Smasher and then changed his hand into satellite-like device before pointing it into the hole. He then fired a very high frequency sound wave into it that caused the Appellaxian's body to shake uncontrollably. The shaking got stronger and stronger until cracks spread across the alien's body, and then he suddenly exploded.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Rocks, soil, leaves, and pieces of wood fell all over the place as Cyborg and Atom Smasher fell onto the ground and landed on their feet. Eventually, trails of energy came down not too far away from them and merged together to become the Appellaxian's true form. The alien got up and desperately ran from those two, but Cyborg used his arm as a grappling hook to catch him by the shoulder from afar and then pulled him back to him. "You're not going anywhere!" he said to the alien.

When the components that consisted of the Appellaxian's host body stopped raining down, the girls approached Cyborg and Atom Smasher, and Shou exclaimed, "We did it!"

"Yep! This is the result of teamwork!" said Cyborg, and then he noticed that Rin still had fire burning all over her body. "Um… Are you sure you're all right…?"

Confused, Rin asked, "What are you talking about? Of course I'm all right!"

Batman was still in the Hall of Justice, keeping his eyes on the screen that showed the footages of the various Appellaxian attacks and also Amazo's attack. It appeared that all the aliens were taken care of. The league members dealing with Amazo was doing a pretty fine job fighting the ability-copying android as well, and it seemed that they would defeat him very soon, which was quite a surprise, considering that he was a major threat and incredibly hard to deal with the last time they fought him.

Suddenly, another alarm went off, so Batman pressed the button that would let him find out what went wrong to bring up a new footage. His eyes widened upon seeing what the news report in that footage was reporting about. "I knew it!" he said.

TO BE CONTINUED

Let me make it clear to you now: to people who are expecting Rin Satsuki to have major roles in this story, be prepared to be VERY, VERY, VERY disappointed. I have ABSOLUTELY no plans for her to have any roles outside of occasionally name drops. She serves nothing more than a cameo appearance in this story to show that she exists in my series.

In fact, I have imagined her to show up in my previous Touhou stories already (starting with Evil by Nature), such as being seen in the background in certain scenes.

Will I ever give her a bigger role in my series? As of now, I have no plans, but who knows what the future may hold? Even so, I don't think I'll ever give her a notable role of any kind.

Trivia:
1. This chapter is named after the DC comic series The Brave and the Bold, which is about different DC superheroes teaming up to fight crime. The Justice League was introduced there before getting its own series. However, the league's origin wasn't revealed until the ninth issue of its own series.
