Forewords
Just a quick warning to all story writers - The document editor of this website suddenly crapped out on me, and when I tried to write the Forewords of this chapter, there was no toolbar and just a tiny typing box with "Paste your document here" printed in it. I had to save this document before I can use the full editor.
This is a message to all story writers of Fanfiction Dot Net, be careful if you're seeing a crapped out document editor.
That is all for this Forewords section.
Pieces found so far: Sakuya's Identity, Achievements.
Chapter 35: Name Of The Hunter
Time: 0315 Hour; 12th of August, 2125.
Location: East Necopolis Remilitarized Zone.
"Take this!"
Reimu fired a Ying-Yang Orb at one of the pursuing Totenkreuz Dive Fighters and tears off one of it's wings, causing it to crash into the polluted ground. The pilot managed to eject at the last minute.
The Viper Hover-copters fired electrifying laser beams and the Totenkreuz Dive Fighters large fireballs at the Daughters Of Liberty.
"Man, just what are the Nazis armed with, anyway?" Sanae complained while narrowly dodging two large fireballs fired from a fighter plane.
"From the looks of it..." Sakuya responded, also narrowly dodging twin laser beams fired from a Viper Hover-copter. "The planes are armed with fire-elemental railguns, the Hover-copters with electric-elemental laser beams..."
Just then, what looked like missile pods have emerged from one of the Vipers, and fired two missiles at the girls.
They dodged the missiles, and watched them hitting a distant ruined building being exploded. Instead of a fireball, it was some kind of liquid being sprayed all over the impact zone, which froze up immediately after.
"...and freeze missiles..." Sakuya added, as she throws several hundred knives at many directions.
The knives cut through all of the Totenkreuz Dive Fighters that are coming down from right above, some went into their turbines and jammed them, which caused the planes to lose altitude and crash on the ground. When the knives hits the Viper Hover-copters, they bounced off harmlessly before making contact with the hull.
"What...?!" The silver-haired maid exclaimed in surprise.
"Energy shields?! This is getting very tough..." Sanae exclaimed and deadpanned.
The Viper Hover-copters responded by firing laser beams and freeze missiles at the Daughters Of Liberty.
Reimu quickly conjured a magic barrier right before the lasers and missiles hit. The freezing liquid of the freeze missiles sprayed all over the magic barrier, creating ice frostings all over it.
"Even being protected by this barrier, the leftover coldness from those things are colder than being hit directly by Nine-ball's Perfect Freeze Spell Card, ze..." Marisa noted, her breath coming out as visible white mists. The coldness made her cough thrice because of the Euthanasia poisoning from the previous night.
The Hover-copters continued to fire laser beams on the magic barrier. It was only less than a minute since the barrier was conjured, and it is already starting to crack.
"You guys should do something..." Reimu told the others. "I can't keep this up any longer..."
Several laser beams are fired at once at the magic barrier. The barrier finally shatters under all those pressure, and the shattering knocks the red-white over her feet. She was seen coughing out lots of blood before falling unconscious on the ground.
"Reimu!" Everyone shouted in horror at once.
Marisa furiously pulled out her mini-hakkero and aimed it at the Viper Hover-copters. The small object begins to build up power.
"Master Spark!"
A huge stream of laser was fired from the hakkero, and hits the Viper Hover-copters. The aircrafts' energy shields resist the blast for two seconds before breaking, allowing the massive beam to hit the aircrafts themselves. One was torn to pieces by being hit directly (and the pilot catapulted into the distance), and others have their payload of freeze missiles going off in the launch pods which froze the main propeller solid and caused them to crash straight down into the ground. One was able to steer clear of the massive beam right before it's shield failed, but got hit in it's rear thrusters (which substituted the rear propellers of helicopters), as it spins out of control while spewing smoke.
As soon as the Master Spark timed out, Marisa quickly flew by Reimu's side, and checked to see if she's still alive.
"Thank goodness..." the black-white sighed in relief, her breath coming out as visible white mist due to the leftover coldness of the freeze missiles. "She's still breathing..."
"Let's find someplace safe to camp out until she wakes up..." Youmu suggested. "She coughed blood, so that means she'll get killed by the toxin sooner..."
Marisa's face went pale with horror upon hearing that. She then carries the unconscious red-white in her hands and flies off towards the Northwest.
Youmu and Sanae followed Marisa, but Sakuya stayed behind. The maid was looking at a Stormtrooper whose gas mask was torn apart as he limps his way out of a Viper wreckage while choking on the polluted air of Necopolis.
Sakuya slowly waked toward the escaping Stormtrooper and pinned him down with one of her feet. She then crouches down and puts a knife at the Nazi soldier's neck.
"Sag den aktuellen Fuhrer, dass er einen Kampf mit Hilda Von Schere ausgewählt haben, sollte nicht..." [Go tell the current Fuhrer that he shouldn't have picked a fight with Hilda Von Schere...] The silver-haired maid said with a different accent.
The Stormtrooper made no response.
"Verstehen?" [Understand?] She said once more.
"J... Ja... Jawohl..." [Y... Ye... Yes...] The Stormtrooper answers, spooked.
Sakuya stood aside and puts the knife away. The Nazi soldier then stands up, and ran off towards the Southwest, falling down every few steps he takes as he continued to cough, choking on the polluted air.
"Hmph... All those vampires, including Milady's father, was something compared to the Eighth Reich..."
The maid then flies off Northwest, following the Daughters Of Liberty.
...
Location: Collector's Grand Library, Summers Estate.
LT was sitting on a reading bench in the library, waiting for someone.
That someone happens to be Adolf Von Duer. A hologram of the Fuhrer, to be exact.
"What else have you found out about Fraulein Hilda?" asked the Fuhrer.
"I've extended my search over every title written in Necopolis, and this finally caught my eye..." LT told the man.
"Isn't zis ze Journal of Hitler?" Adolf looked at what LT was holding in his hands - a book, with a portrait of Hitler as the background.
"Yeah, even I didn't expect something like this to pop up in the search result." LT said. "This book apparently doesn't exist in New Wikipedia, so I'm holding the last copy in existence right now..."
"What have you found?" Adolf asked once more.
"I read through the book, finding nothing until the mentioning of a name with a description caught my eye..." LT told the Fuhrer
"Let me guess..." Adolf seems to know the answer.
"Silver-hair braided? Blue eyes? Throws knives? First name's Hilda? Is in fact Asahian, not Necopolitan? That's basically one of the Daughters Of Liberty - Hilda Von Schere, aka Izayoi Sakuya. There's even accounts of her appearing out of nowhere, written down by the original Fuhrer right in this book!" LT relayed all the information he knows from the Journal of Hitler.
"Zis is unbelievable!" The Fuhrer exclaimed.
"...That we have a 200 years old ex-Nazi as a Communist mercenary? Unbelievable, indeed..."
The Fuhrer stood there, paralyzed by surprise.
"What will you do?" LT asked him.
Adolf recovered from his paralysis. "I will send in ze strongest firepower in ze Nazi arsenal to destroy them!"
Afterwords
Yet another piece found, although it isn't what I said will be revealed from the previous Afterwords...
Sakuya as an ex-Nazi... Truly unbelievable...
Pieces found so far: Sakuya's Identity, Achievement, Last known appearance in Necopolis.
In case you're wondering, of course Reimu is going to survive! She's needed for the rest of the series.
For those of you who thinks the Daughters won't make it to Bevelle (alternate universe Great Britain), try to remember that this is the future. Surely there must be a means of transportation that they could hitch a ride on, just like how they travelled from Asahi to Chugoku. Same goes for travelling from Bevelle (Great Britain) to the last nation - Registan (representing the good ol' United States).
No shout-outs in this chapter.
That is all. "Bis dahin..."
