A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the loooong wait! Here you are for the new chapter of my story. I'll get back onto this story, don't worry I didn't forget about my loyal readers! Enjoy!
Ever since Tenshi's silly and foolish incident in destroying our lazy maiden's shrine and the love story break with Marisa choosing her final love, Gensokyo has been quiet for the past few months...above ground that is. While everything was going on up there, the dark youkai underground didn't like the noise one bit. Let us see who the villain is this time in Subterranean Animism...
~Underworld, Ancient City~
Four youkai were sitting at the counter in the pub complaining about the too many incidents going on above the surface. The group consisted of an earth spider, an Oni, a green-eyed jealous youkai, and a girl in a small bucket. These strange types of youkai were, in some way, rejected and been banished to the underground, so you could say this is where the rejected youkai reside.
"Man I'll tell ya... Those damn surface dwellers have been rough housing up there lately, I say we go up there and put 'em in their place!" The spider youkai, Yamame Kurodani, said proudly raising her glass in the air.
"Ughh...cut it with the shouting, Yamame..." Yuugi groaned in agony with her head down on the counter, Parsee rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Another hangover, huh.." Kisume was on the counter in front of Yamame in her bucket that she never got out of in public for some reason. The oni fell back off the chair and onto the floor flat on her back. "Who the hell ..-hiccup- pushed me off..!" She yelled and didn't even bother to get back up.
"This place has been getting worse with that new family moving underground and all, who were they called again?" The spider girl asked, drinking her sake.
"The rich and snotty Komeiji family, just because they have all this money they think they own the place! And that stupid raven pet and little sister of hers always cause trouble!" The jealous youkai said, acting all snotty herself.
"It doesn't matter, we underground youkai must stick together, as rejects of Gensokyo!"
"Yeah!" The three youkai that didn't pass out shouted while Parsee and Yamame clinked glasses together.
~Palace of the Earth Spirits~
The Komeiji family was having a meeting in the Living Room, the mistress of the family, Satori Komeiji stood beside her pet cat, Rin. The other pet, Utsuho, and Satori's little sister, Koishi, were sitting on their shins and heads down.
"This is the tenth problem you caused this week, people are already thinking negative of us and it's both of your faults..."
"Sorry, Master Satori..." Utsuho was a bit slow in the head, but she still knew what was right from wrong.
"I'm so sorryyyyy big sister, please forgive me!" Koishi shouted like a little child.
"I always do, don't I..?" Satori patted her troublesome sister's head and sent her off, as for the raven, Utsuho was punished for staying in the Hell of Blazing Fires for a week, doing her job with no breaks. She groaned like a little kid that was grounded from T.V. Satori left to her bedroom.
"Aw cheer up, Okuu! A week will pass in no time!" The kasha spoke up to lighten the spirits of the depressed raven.
"Orin-Chan, Master Satori is always so mean to me.. Why is she always nice to you?"
"I don't really get into trouble.." Utsuho and Rin were friends before Satori took them in under her care, they weren't always the humanoid girls they appear today, the pair were even best friends back when they were just regular animals. Overtime they gave nicknames to each other 'Orin' and 'Okuu'.
"No fair! I wish I was stronger than Master Satori so she couldn't boss me around anymore! I wish I could take over the world!"
"B-Be careful what you wish for, Okuu!" Rin was a bit shocked her best friend had such dark thought in her empty head. Utsuho flew off to manipulate the flames, which was her job. After a few hours their shifts were over and it was time for bed, the friends were in the cave and about to head up the stairs. Utsuho has been quiet for the rest of the day for the first time in her life, she was the type to never keep her mouth shut, this made Rin worry a bit. The raven girl suddenly stopped, the cat noticed a few feet later and stopped, looking back. "Okuu?"
"You wanted power earlier if I recall correctly? Well I can give you that power." A voice echoed inside the birdbrain's air-filled head.
"Really!? You can totally give me that, please gimme it now!" A figure of a tall woman was floating in front of a holy light, making her appearance only a silhouette. She was holding a glowing ball of nuclear fusion. "And so you have wished it, and so it shall be!" The goddess threw the ball right into the raven and disappeared; Utsuho fell on her back and started screaming with the change happening to her body.
"Okuu!" Rin ditched her cart and kneeled over her friend, grabbing her one hand tightly with both of her own. "What did she do to you!? Oh hang in there, Okuu!" The screaming bird kept twitching as her body started to physically change, a huge arm cannon appeared on Utsuho's right arm, some armor on her left leg with two atoms rotating around it, a white cape also appeared on her neck that was hung over her wings, and a huge red eye just between her large breasts. "Please speak to me, Okuu!" The bird answered her call by shooting her eyes open. Rin smiled while hugging her close friend to have her well again, she looked over Utsuho's new body as they both stood up.
"Do you feel alright!? Are you hurt anywhere!?"
"I feel...I feel... So freaking powerful!" Utsuho rose in the air and put out her arms and wings, a powerful light glowing around her, her arm cannon radiating with intense heat. "I feel unstoppable! With this power Mas- no.. Satori won't be able to touch me..."
"N-Now, Okuu, come to your whatever senses you had before! Don't let some stupid power take over your mind!" She grabbed ahold of her dear friend's normal leg, trying to gain the old Utsuho back. "Do you even remember who I am, Okuu..? Your best friend?!"
"Hrm.. Get off me, weakling!" Utsuho flinged her leg and sent Rin into the rocky wall, the cat girl stood up staggering a bit, shocked that her best friend hurt her, Rin held her right arm in pain, tearing up a little in her eyes of pity for her friend.
"You aren't...the Okuu I know anymore; I hope you're happy with yourself..." The injured Rin got her wheelbarrow and left as the souls followed her.
"I will take over the world..!" Were Utsuho's last words Rin heard before she left the area.
~Hakurei Shrine~
Reimu was sitting at the table along with the regular freeloaders, Suika and Yukari. Everything was in terms of normal with the youkai having a good old time, not with care in the world as Reimu was cleaning up after every mess they made. Yukari has been staying over recently to give Ran some time off from her shenanigans. Normally, Reimu wouldn't take this but the youkai did help rebuild her shrine better than the last one. A sudden loud noise was heard somewhere far off and the earth shook beneath them. Reimu looked out the window and saw something shooting straight towards her shrine; she only blinked for a split second as it was none other than the sneaky Gensokyo reporter Aya.
"Great, let me guess, I have to solve another incident?"
"Indeed, one hasn't happened in a while and you're out of shape and lazy as it is."
"Shut up, I'm not a pantie-shot taking photographer at least."
"It's all part of business, now go fix the incident!"
"Tell what the incident is?"
"Well the geysers suddenly went off which also caused the youkai from underground to come up above ground!" This report made Yukari serious and signal everyone had a table to have a meeting.
"Are you positive that the youkai from underneath are coming up here?" Yukari asked with a serious tone.
"Of course, I took pictures of it myself."
"Well, it looks like you're going out, Reimu. It's all up to you now.~" Yukari popped back to her usual self.
"Ugh, just when I thought I could laze around, can't you guys go with me-."
"No." The youkai quickly replied before Reimu could even finish her sentence.
"Geez, youkai are so lazy." The human flew off to the geyser site, unknowingly that three purple orbs were following her.
~Voile Library~
"Patchy, are you alright?" Marisa shouted as she came barging in with Alice and Nitori right behind her, all of them going up to Patchouli's desk.
"Intruding the mansion again, Marisa...?" Patchouli said in her monotone voice like always.
"I was worried about ya, what if ya got her and fell or somethin'?"
"I'm sure Sakuya would be here before I'd even hit the floor..." She flipped through a page in her book.
"Ah, the coldness of a librarian.. Anyway, dont'cha know the incident that just happened?
"Meiling has already spread the word around to everyone in the mansion; she was attacked by some rather strange youkai she's never seen before..."
"They are coming from underground due to the geysers suddenly bursting without warning." Nitori caught Patchouli up to speed and unpacked her bag, putting a huge machine on the floor; it had a radar rotating around giving off a beep sound.
"Hm.. Youkai from underground you say, I wish I could write some things about them in a book."
"I could help ya while I go underground, Patchy!"
"I'm going with you then!" Alice blurted out, then turning away to hide her face. Marisa walked behind her and put her right hand on Alice's left shoulder.
"Don't worry about it, Alice; I was planning on going alone."
"Well we can go with you in another form with this invention!" The magicians turned to the kappa, Patchouli looked up from her book. "I just need a strand of hair from the other two magicians. Alice and Patchouli gave Nitori a strand of their own hair, the kappa took a strand of her own hair and put it in the tube, she turned on the power as three hair star-shaped clips came out of the pod, Nitori handed them over to Marisa. "Here, you must wear these in your hair."
"I'll put them in!" Alice rushed over and swiped the clips from Marisa's hand and put them in her braid.
"So what do they do?"
"Well Marisa, they will create hologram projections of us, you usually need special lighting but these are custom made by yours truly! We will be able to see and hear through them, and since they are only projections we cannot touch you or help you in any fights."
"Got it, I'll be on my way then, ze!" She ran outside and sat on her broom while still running, blasting off to where she saw the towers of water bursting in the air.
~Geyser Site~
Marisa was coming down to ground level seeing Reimu looking down a hole; she landed and looked down with her friend.
"So what's down there?"
"I was just about to-woah!" Reimu jumped back and saw her troublesome friend, Marisa. "Don't pop out like that!"
"Shaddap baby, so we goin' down there?"
"We don't have a choice." The humans flew down the dark hole along with the orbs; they gave off a purple glow as they reached the bottom of the hole.
"Are these orbs yours?"
"Not really, these are purple." The three orbs took a form of Aya, Suika, and Yukari, actually looking like the real thing. The three star clips in Marisa's hair showed projections of Alice, Patchouli, and Nitori.
"Seems like the gangs all here, ze!"
"You didn't even know my group was coming here!"
"Of course I knew, Yukari wouldn't let you ignore an incident."
"Point taken.."
"Shall we all advance now?" Yukari smirked behind her fan, the four youkai and two humans went on to look into this new incident, some eager people scouted ahead like Aya, Marisa only to be followed close behind by Alice, and Nitori. The tengu was taking some pictures of the new explored area, suddenly a web was shot right through Aya which made the group on the alert and keep their eyes open.
"Huh, it's a fake!?" Yamame was hanging upside down on a string of web; Kisume was also hanging by a web string.
"It's people from above, Yamame! They are intruding our territory!"
"It seems we must teach them a lesson!"
"Hang on; we're just here to solve an incident!" Marisa shouted as Reimu tried to explain why they were here.
"I'm trying to see why the youkai from under here went on our territory!"
"No one has left the underground, they would have to get past Parsee on the bridge first, she's in charge of who goes in and out!"
"We didn't come across any bridge; there are tons of geyser holes that could lead to any part of the Underworld." Yukari waved her fan, knowing that because she and Suika are the only ones that have been down here.
"Anywho, check them Kisume!" The bucket youkai shot some fireballs at all of them, with only the humans dodging the easy attack. "So only two of them are real, let's get 'em, Kisume!"
"Yaay!"
"Hm...be very careful of your opponents you both, we have no idea what powers these strange youkai have..."
"Don't worry, Patchy, I been through worse." Marisa started shooting off star danmaku as Reimu did the same with red bullets, Yamame was swinging from string to string easily avoiding every bullet, she would even sometimes make a spider web to catch some bullets and turn them into small spiders to counter attack the heroines by spitting poisonous venom at them or by poofing into green clouds of disease. It was quickly covering the area as Marisa started to cough and hack.
"Marisa?!" The illusions could only just watch the battles the humans would be going up against underneath them, Reimu quickly shielded the witch and shot some homing orbs, Yamame grabbed Kisume's string and swung her around, sending the orbs back and hitting the shrine maiden causing some puffs of smoke.
"I have the ability to give humans deadly diseases, a hundred percent incurable. This is why I was banished to the Underworld!" Yamame shouted and called spiders from around the area to attack Reimu.
"Random Directional Lasers!" Marisa suddenly shouted as colorful lasers came out and shot in random places killing of the many spiders, The spider youkai took some minor damage since it was impossible to figure out a random pattern of which way the lasers would shoot at. A lucky laser shot the string Yamame was hanging on causing her to fall and take more laser damage along the way down; she got back up and suddenly took a huge orb to the gut that caused her to kneel.
"Heh, I did enough.. The disease should kill you soon.." Yamame just disappeared along with Kisume; the witch kept hacking and clenching her chest.
"It'll be okay, Marisa, I won't let this disease kill you!"
"We won't let her die indeed..." The three inner Marisa's laugher echoed inside her head and started slowly release their powers throughout her body. Reimu held her friend up as the group kept on until they finally saw the bridge Yamame was talking about. A girl was waiting at the center of the bridge with her arms crossed.
"Hello, are you the Parsee that guards the bridge?"
"Any what if I am, got a problem with it?" Was the girl's snotty response to the female heroes, standing still.
"Ew, it's the elf weirdo!" Suika pointed and laughed at the green-eyed youkai.
"Now I'm mad, prepare to die!" Parsee's green eyes glared the Oni as Reimu stepped forward with Marisa following behind, still in an exhausted state. The miko turned to look at her illed ally. "No way, you stay back and hide." She ordered to the witch, who of course didn't approve and would do no such thing as in backing down from a fight. "You must be insane, I never run away!" Reimu began to shout at Marisa. "I said stay back! Don't be an idiot!"
"Why you-"
"Marisa..!" The magician was interrupted by her fellow neighbor; she had a worried look on her face.
"Alice.."
"Please just take it easy!"
"I could have a Yukkuri to come and retrieve you.~" Yukari suggested with a smirk.
"Hell no! I'm gonna stayin' fight! I ain't no coward!"
"There is a difference between being a coward and being reckless…" Patchouli's words of wisdom decided to slip out.
"Grr…fine, I'll take five!" Marisa went behind some jagged rock formations to watch the battle for now. The two opponents faced each other and began to throw danmaku bullets at one another, cards and orbs clashing against green spikes. Everyone could only watch as the two kept on with this battle, Marisa couldn't just sit behind a rock like a coward; she hated having limits to what she could do so she would always try to break them no matter what condition she was in.
(I have five minutes before Marisa intervenes, stubborn dimwit!) Reimu thought which was making her losing concentration on the fight; Parsee was starting to put more force behind her attacks since they now were physically fighting which wasn't Reimu's specialty, in fact very few Gensokyo fighters' preferred hand-to-hand combat. Parsee finally delivered a hard kick to Reimu's gut making her back off a bit.
"I suppose I can tease you around a bit with this spellcard." Parsee said with glee as she activated it. "Green-Eyed Invisible Monster!" Within two seconds Parsee vanished from sight that left everyone with a dramatic gasp. Reimu kept her cool but was quickly searching around for veiled opponent. She didn't know what she could do against an unseen enemy, it was like childsplay.
The maiden suddenly felt a blow from behind that sent her into the wall. "Guhh!" Parsee became visible again but soon disappeared shortly.
(Ow...that cheap trick, how can I win this one..?) She was soon picked up as she could see Parsee again and was soon thrown into another wall, again disappearing. The routine kept repeating for a couple minutes as the youkai covered Reimu with bloody-dirt bruises and cuts from the sharp rocks.
"Reimu, I think I figured out her pattern!" Aya shouted.
"And what would..-cough-..that be?"
"Each time she attacks she becomes visible for two seconds before going invisible, so if you could catch her before that happens you can win."
"If only she could actually recover in that amount of time... This youkai isn't stupid, that is the reason she throws Reimu a far distance from herself..." Patchouli stated.
"Instead of telling me the obvious why not get your lazy asses down here and do this work for me!"
"No thanks!~" Aya cheerfully smiled.
"Do your job..." Patchouli said in her monotone voice.
"Jeez, all of you are so useless!" Reimu growled and felt another blow to her back that sent her into another rock wall. "Damn...this youkai!" Reimu was now on the ground with some heavy bruises on her body, some streams of blood running down her sides.
"Time to defeat this human for good!" Parsee became visible for her attack, her fist turning a bright green.
"Reimu!" The crowd shouted about to witness the defeat of the Hakurei maiden. Parsee's fist was swinging downward when suddenly a huge rainbow laser covered her from the side and blew her away a great distance into the wall, enough to defeat her as she just sat against the wall.
"Huh?!" The illusions turned to where the beam came from to see a heavily exhausted Marisa panting on her knees, but she managed to crawl over to her miko friend.
"Mari...sa? I told you not to-" Reimu weakly sat up to face her trusted blonde friend.
"Is that the thanks I get for saving you!?" Marisa tightened her hands with an "Ow", then opened them; Reimu saw that her hands were left with red marks.
"What happened to your hands?"
"This whole time I was charging my Master Spark for the right moment, the Hakkero became too hot but I kept holding onto it. I guess I pushed it over its limit.."
"Tch, I didn't need your help, I told you to not barge in and endanger yourself further, you never listen."
"Can it, Reimu, your ass was in trouble and you know it!" There was a long silence between them, Reimu sighed and stood up ready to move on across the bridge with Marisa right behind her, crossing the bridge into a tunnel. The group finally reached a huge city with lantern lights along every street, many pub establishments and party circles in the roads and alleys.
"Wow, things back home seem to have never changed!" Suika smiled and looked around.
"What is this place, it doesn't seem dangerous.." Alice asked.
"This is Ancient City, an underground village for oni and subterranean youkai, like the ones Reimu just fought."
"I get the feeling outsiders aren't welcome here, so try to blend in.." Patchouli hinted them.
"So this is where all the rejects go when they have no one else.." Reimu stated as they walked through many crowds and group circles. Suika heard a particular voice that she recognized, it was really louder than the music and other conversations going on, booming across the village, it felt like she was talking right next to you.
"Hey, that voice! It couldn't be!"
"What is it, Suika?" Reimu turned to the horned girl.
"Go that way, Reimu!" Suika pointed in the left direction.
"We don't have time to get sidetracked!"
"We're lost anyway, Reimu, why not just give her a shot?" Marisa said.
"But..that voice is pretty damn louder than most of the things here."
"Let's go already!" Marisa grabbed onto Reimu's wrist and pulled her along. They bumped their way through the huge crowd that was bigger than the others until they could see a rather tall and busty woman being the center of attention. Her most noticeable feature was a long red horn growing from her head.
"She seems like one of them 'life-of-the-party' people." Reimu stated.
"That's Yuugi! She's also one of the four Devas of the Mountain!"
"I wouldn't want to fight her then.."
"Maybe we can ask for her directions!" Marisa suggested.
"Great idea! Hey, Yuugi!" Suika shouted at her friend that caught her attention.
"Huh? Woa-ho, no way! Is that really you, Suika?" The tall oni rushed over to the smaller oni, Yuugi looked at the rest accompanying Suika.
"Hiya, Yuugi, it's been awhile!"
"Damn straight! So are these new friends of yours?"
"Yep yep! And we came down to solve an incident that is coming from down here because it's affecting the surface world."
"Really? None of us caused it, if anything it might be the Komeiji Family."
"The Komeiji Family..?" Reimu repeated.
"Yeah, it's some snotty rich family hat recently moved underground, ever since then they always been causing trouble, someone needs to teach them a lesson."
"We would be glad to do so if you could tell us where they live!" Marisa smiled and pounded a fist into her palm."
"Just follow the palace." Yuugi pointed far off into the distance as a great palace was in view. "Just head in that direction and you'll be fine."
"Thanks!" The group set off to continue their adventure but Yuugi held Suika back.
"Hey, Suika!"
"Yeah?"
"It was good seeing you, when you get some free time come down and tell me what the above world is like."
"Will do, Yuugi, goodbye!"
"Later!" Suika went to catch up with the group.
~Palace of the Earth Spirits, Satori's Room~
Satori was lying in her bed as Rin appeared in the doorway.
"Satori-Sama, there are strangers heading towards your home."
"You called for them, invite them in..." Rin jumped back in shock realizing that Satori must have read her mind. She bowed in defeat.
"I'm really sorry, but I was hoping someone could help us get the old Okuu back, I was-"
Satori interrupted. "I know...I worry for her as well, you did the right thing for the careness of your friend, I shall greet them and see how strong they are to find out if they will be able to match Utsuho's strength.." The pink-haired girl yawned and sluggishly walked past her pet cat to head down to the lobby. "Go see how Utsuho is doing.." Rin nodded and went.
~Palace of the Earth Spirits, Front Yard.~
"So here we are..." Reported Aya as everyone stood in front of the mansion, the place seemed pretty abandoned and beat up, but lights were on in some shattered and stained windows. The gang was about four levels underground.
"This place is creepier looking than Remilia's mansion.."
"At least she has a sleepy gatekeeper and maid they would greet us at the front gate, it was already open. This front yard looks like a cemetery!" Marisa complained. The girls walked up to the large double doors as they slowly creaked open by themselves. Satori was in the lobby standing on the dull red carpet that started from the door and stopped at the end of the room.
"Welcome..." Greeted Satori in a soft voice.
"Seems like she knew we were comin', ze."
"A little cat told me, but you've come to stop the source of your problem, yes..?"
"Yeah, are you the source?" Reimu asked.
"I am not...however, one of my pets are.. I would like you to deal with her."
"That's what we came here for, now show us where this pet of yours is!" Marisa shouted with enthusiasm ready to take on anything that came her way.
"Hold it.. Are you all fighting her..?"
"That would be impossible since six of us are only just illusions." Nitori explained.
"I shall rid of the fakes then.." Satori's 3rd eye shone a bright red as the room started to fade away along with Yukari, Aya, Suika, Alice, Nitori, and Patchouli. "Recollection: Terrifying Hypnotism..."
"W-What is this?!" Alice began to panic.
"Ayayayayaya! Not good at all, I won't be able to shoot some more pics!"
"What a terrible way to die like this..~" Yukari smirked behind her fan.
"You're freeloading at my shrine!" Reimu shouted.
"Ah, good-luck, rat..." Patchouli teased not showing emotion that she was leaving Marisa's side.
"Come back alive or else we can't party anymore!" Suika's attempt to lift their spirits. The room was now gone and so were their friends, now trapped in some closed space. Reimu began to fly as Marisa called her broom from a summon, yet Satori was still walking like there was a floor but the two humans were certain they couldn't feel a surface under their feet at the moment the room changed.
"This is my world..."
"So we just gotta defeat ya to pass, right?" Marisa expecting the obvious answer.
"Careful, Marisa, we don't know who we're up against," Reimu reminded her.
"I am Satori Komeiji, the owner of this place. This will not be a battle of who falls, think of this as a special training.." Eight-teen spellcards that appeared to be blank to the heroines summoned around Satori and sorted themselves into six groups of three. Three groups went towards Reimu, likewise with Marisa. "Choose one card from each group.." Satori giving her direction. The two played along and tapped one card from each squad making the non-chosen cards disappear as the lucky cards flew back to Satori.
"The rules are you must survive the six spellcards I will send at you for five minutes, if you fall...well let's just say I hope you like fire. However, if you decide to give up during the exercise I will stop everything and let you return home.."
"Yeah yeah, just start the thing!" Demanded the impatient witch.
"Very well..." Satori released her own danmaku as her Third Eye began to shine red. "Recollection: Flying Insect's Nest.." A giant green insect broke from the spellcard. Its wingspan larger than Reimu since she was the tallest girl present, it roared hungrily with fierce teeth showing that had saliva dripping from its mouth. It seemed like a demonic locus. Its eyes seemed to identify the two humans as enemies so it began charging after them. The two began to fly for it getting away from the savage bug. While keep their distance Marisa kept choosing lasers to try shooting it down but its evasive skills were too good. The creature was closing in on Marisa since she was attacking, making it seem she was the bigger threat.
"Seems like it wants you, later Marisa!" Reimu got out of its path.
"Reimu, you coward!"
"Recollection: Deep Mist Labyrinth.." Soon a thick fog rolled in to cover the closed space, severely cutting vision from everyone that even the insect lost Marisa.
"Marisa?!" Reimu called out trying to find her friend.
"Over here, Reimu," Marisa responded back.
"Recollection: Great Whirlwind.." A giant tornado appeared and ripped through the fog as it began to clear up the area a bit. The giant locus saw the witch in its sights again after the wind took the fog away and began chase. Marisa flew away again to avoid the beast.
Hm...that was Aya's spellcard, and that mist one was Suika's, how can she use them? Reimu wondered as Satori's voice broke her concentration.
"Recollection: Extending Arm.." Satori held out the spellcard as a mechanical arm shot from it and aimed towards Reimu. She quickly put up a barrier just barely for the arm to grab her as it retracted back into the card. It tried its luck once again and aimed for Marisa.
"Marisa, look out!"
"Huh?" She looked towards the voice and saw an arm coming at her. "That's..but Nitori isn't here." Marisa flew down to avoid the arm but she kept on going to get away from the giant locus. The arm came back to Satori and shot for Marisa yet again, this time the witch was timing it. She slowed her speed for the bug to catch up but still kept doing curvy moves. "Wait... Wait... Alright!" The moment the arm was in range to grab her she blasted off using all the magic power in the broom, making the arm grab the bug and pulling it back to Satori, causing them to crash into each.
"Ugh...bug guts..." Satori complains as slop was drooping from her clothes. "I hate this game now..." She called off her spellcard as the space went back to the normal room, Satori pointed to the door behind her. "This rooms leads a level deeper underground, you will find my pet down there..." She said as she went upstairs to clean herself up. Marisa sat up sighed.
"Thank for the help, Reimu!"
"You were fine, let's go!"
"Hmph.." The magician stood up and followed Reimu to the door, opening it to reveal another tunnel into the deeper level, they both ventured into the darker depths of the underground world.
"Marisa, how is that disease that youkai spread in you?"
"Huh? Oh, I totally forgot about it, I feel much better now. Still, I wouldn't say the same about you that bridge youkai did ya good."
"Quiet, let's get this stupid incident over with so we can enjoy some hot springs."
"Right on, ze!" The pair finally saw an orange light at the bottom of the tunnel, as soon as they reached the light they were on a small platform with several other small rock formations just suspended there spread apart across the room. Reimu looked down to see the bottomless pit of endless fire, Marisa notice an injured girl before them and walked over.
"Yo, what happened here?" The cat girl opened her eyes to see two people before her; even if her vision was blurred she could tell they were both human.
"Humans..? No matter... Please save her..."
"Who are you?" Asked Reimu.
"I'm Rin..." The girls helped Rin against a wall inside the tunnel they came out of to give her some rest.
"Tell us what happened," Marisa asked again.
"Okuu...save Okuu...help her regain her senses..." Rin weakly pointed to the ceiling of the huge orange room and passed out. The humans went back out and looked up to see someone taking orange light into their chest, they both flew up to get a closer look and see it was a raven-winged girl with a red eye on her chest, a huge arm-cannon, her armored right foot and some electrons around her left ankle. Her white cape with stars underneath barely her huge wings, she was laughed madly with power. She was...Utsuho Reiuji...
Until Next Phantasm...~
