Today is both a happy day and a sad day in Gensokyo. It is happy in the sense that those who fall into oppression will be saved, but it is a sad day because this is the final chapter of Poisonous Chinese Tea. Never before have I written a story even half this long, and I was originally gonna make it a bit longer, add a couple more chapters, but that would just end up being filler, and I HATE filler! The sequel will be coming soon, don't forget to rate this story and leave wonderful reviews for the end of the story! Here goes nothing, let the battle for Gensokyo commence!

The countless that were fighting alongside Meiling and Suika had been scattered by Judas; they needed to cover as much ground as possible so that Enigma wouldn't be able to defend all of Gensokyo and the Scarlet Devil Mansion at the same time. The trio looked down at the battle, and even from Youkai Mountain they could hear the intense battle that spanned across an entire world. "Alright," Judas said. "It's time. I hope you two are ready."

"Ya!" Suika started down the mountain first, sword in hand. She wanted to do this quickly.

Meiling watched the oni run off. The deal she made with Judas would be costly, but she was more than happy to make it if it meant having Suika back after all of this. "After you, Judas."

"Thank you." Judas raised a hand into the air, as the ground directly beneath his feet crumbled. Right beneath him, a steed from Hell itself was arising to carry him to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. "I've always wanted to use this spell," he said. The feet of the horse burned with an intense flame, burning away at the ground it stood on. "Do your best to keep up, Meiling." Judas's horse began running down the mountain far faster than any human had the capacity to run, leaving footprints of fire behind it. Judas's right hand held the reins of the horse while the scythe rested in his left hand. Everything on him, including his weapon and horse, was forged out of the souls of demons so naturally they were powerful objects.

Meiling watched the horse run off, and started running as fast as she could, more to catch up with Suika than Judas. She didn't care if he got there before them, and she really wanted to kidnap Suika and take her away from this. But she knew that doing that would result in the war being a horrible loss and all of Gensokyo falling into slavery that not even the deadly duo could end. Eventually, she caught up to the oni and her loudly clanking armor. "Hey," she said. "Good luck in this fight."

"Thanks. You, -hic- too. Remember, no matter what happens, I'm always going to love you Meiling."

"And you're always the person I love most as well, Suika. No matter what happens." The two kept running ahead, Judas far ahead of them now. It was possible that he was already at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. If so, then the battle would begin very soon indeed. "I have faith in you, and I'm not afraid of you dying anymore."

"I'm not afraid -hic- either." The oni made a massive jump to cover the remaining distance, and took one more look at all of Gensokyo on her way down. Her azure armor seemed to shine in the sunlight, and her mutated arm seemed to glimmer in the bright lights that to her marked the beginning of a new age. Would it be an age of freedom, though? Or an age of slavery? That would be for her to decide, Suika concluded as she landed just behind the Scarlet Devil Mansion to find Judas awaiting them, now without a demonic steed. "Are you ready?"

"As soon as you ladies are," Judas said. Shortly after, he saw Meiling finishing her run down the mountain, though her stare seemed to go right through Judas and Suika, into the walls around and then of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. "Oh, crap. Suika, move!" The two jumped out of the way just in time to avoid Meiling charging through the solid brick wall, and then punching a sizable hole in the wall of the mansion. "Real subtle, China."

Meiling turned to Judas, and smiled. "Aw, did you call me China? That reminds me of when I used to beat the shit out of you. I could still do that, you know. Let's get this fight done already, I need to figure out what to do after this."

"Very well." The necromancer, oni, and youkai all stepped into the mansion together. Looking around, the place seemed to be empty. Was it? All three kept their eyes and ears extra sharp as they continued navigating the halls with Meiling's help. "Remember, Enigma can take on the form and abilities of any person he sees, so it's very possible for him to capture one of us and transform himself. I doubt he'll do it, though; prophesized heroes always get the privilege of seeing his true form."

"Indeed," a deeper-than-deep voice said from behind them. "Indeed as they would say, speak of the devil. It is very considerate of you to bring the hero to me, as I lack the patience needed to search all of this realm for the person that I seek."

"Well, you've -hic- found her," Suika boldly said.

"You? You aren't fit to be the hero."

"Well, it's me whether -hic- you like it or not." Snapping the chain attached to her armor, Suika handed her prized possession to Meiling and said "Hold my gourd." The oni drunkenly walked up to Enigma, saying "So -hic- you're the final boss?"

"I am the ruler of this world. Step down and perhaps I may allow you to leave with your life intact."

"Not happening, tough guy!" Suika reared her arm back, and threw her arm back forward to deliver a vicious sword strike. But with disbelief, she watched in shock as Enigma's wing of an arm not only blocked her sword, but shattered it completely. Suika ran right up to Enigma's face, delivering a punch with her armored arm, only to have the armor shatter as well.

"Those pathetic attacks are the best you can do? You are certainly not the hero foretold in Judas's prophecy, then."

"I'm not done yet!" Suika knew what she had to use; her mutated demon arm. Suika once again reared an arm back, and then threw herself forward to deliver a full-force high-impact punch from Hell.

Enigma's wings shifted into arms, and one of his hands grabbed the arm coming toward him, causing smoke to come out of his hand. "That is demonic magic resting in your arm. While it is most certainly a powerful weapon, that alone cannot defeat me." Enigma began squeezing, intending to crush the demon arm or even tear it in half. Doing that would cause the demon magic to spill out and render her as powerless as she would have normally been against Enigma. "There is nothing you can do."

"Wanna -hic- bet?"

"I'll wager my soul on it." Enigma tightened his grip a great deal more, and the black scales along Suika's arm shattered. "You are not the hero I have awaited, begone you neophyte of a hero." The arm that shattered Suika's scales released its grip, only to deliver a powerful punch to Suika's chest, sending her right past Meiling and Judas into the wall behind them. "Now," the demon demanded. "Where is the hero who will defeat me?"

Judas looked at Meiling. "The person who writes the prophecy can't elect themselves hero, it has to be you."

Meiling's entire face flew into shock. "Wh-Whaaat?"

"Go get 'em, tiger." Judas shoved Meiling toward Enigma, hoping he was right. If not these two, then who?

Meiling approached the demon, having just now realized that he hit Suika hard enough that he could have seriously harmed her. "You'll pay for hurting Suika," Meiling said, suddenly alert and confident in her abilities. If she was the hero, then it was her destiny to win this fight! Meiling poured a massive amount of chi energy into one of her arms, and ran up to Enigma with it, planning to punch him hard.

Enigma's arms shifted themselves back into wings, and the demon shielded himself with these wings. When Meiling's fist impacted, a bright flash of white light burst from the point of impact, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard distinctly. But when the light faded, it was Meiling rather than Enigma who was doubling back in the pain of a broken limb. "It is not you either," the demon said. "Then it is you, Judasss." Enigma approached Judas, ignoring the injured Meiling and the oni in the back who was getting back up to her feet.

Judas looked at Enigma. "Is it? I wrote the prophecy, so it can't be me."

"You cannot elect it to be you, but it is still you."

"Very well. Then we should both fight at our greatest capacity." One of Judas's hands pointed back to Suika, and a black smoke began flying out of her mutated arm as the arm slowly returned to normal and the other minor mutations went with it. All of that demonic magic went straight into Judas's body, but rather than harm him, it would aid him as a user of the dark arts. "Meiling, Suika, leave this place now if you wish to stay alive." Judas would have to use the most forbidden of arts, he would have to summon spirits that were not meant to be summoned under any circumstances whatsoever. Surely he had the power to do this.

"Good luck, Judas," Meiling said, running over to Suika to help her up on her feet. "Come on, let's go."

"It's -hic- not me?"

"No. Come on, Suika." Meiling and Suika ran past Judas and Enigma again, going out of the hole in the wall that Meiling had made. She wanted to get herself and Suika as far away from Judas and Enigma as she possibly could.

"Now," Judas said, his armor and appearance in all having greatly changed from the sheer amount of power he had stored. "Let the battle commence." He let Enigma have the first strike, a powerful uppercut punch that tore Judas's entire right arm off. Judas's attack response was simple. He knew how to end all of this right then and there, and was glad that Meiling and Suika were running. Stabbing Enigma in the heart with the scythe, he began to charge even more energy as the demon tried to get the object out of himself. "Meiling, Suika, Remilia, Patchouli, Koakuma…everybody. Don't screw this up, or I'll never forgive you. I'd stay if I could, but this is my destiny, and my redemption for all that I've done to this world. Goodbye." Judas's entire face burst into a wicked grin, and for the last few seconds of his life, the deepest evils inside himself showed again to even further amplify his demonic power. "This is the end, Enigma! I'll see you in Hell!"

Meiling and Suika looked down at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. "Nothing's happening." Meiling had spoken too soon. Not long after she said that, the mansion exploded in a cloud of black magic. "Oh my god…he killed himself."

"He -hic- sacrificed himself to let us live…I guess bad guys go good after all."

"They certainly do, Suika." Meiling couldn't have imagined that this was the same man who killed Flandre, or the man that nearly killed Youmu. The Judas from then and the Judas from now were certainly different people.

"So…what -hic- do we do now?"

"We re-build Gensokyo. It'll be fun!"

"Let's do it!"Three months had passed since Judas's sacrifice, and Meiling and Suika were having fun in the human village with a fire-controlling friend they'd made during the most recent incident. The two stopped when they got to the center of the village though. Standing there was a golden statue of a true hero of a human; a man who proved that bad people can still become good. Meiling built the statue entirely on her own, and was proud of the Judas statue that she created. Every time she came here, she read the plaque on it aloud. "In memory of Judas Nekross, a human necromancer who proved that no matter how far down the path of evil a person walks, there is always a chance to find the light again. Judas came into Gensokyo as a murderer, and was hated as such. A month later, he returned to us as a martyr who sacrificed his life for those of everybody in Gensokyo."

"It was -hic- really thoughtful of you, Meiling. I'm sure he'd love it." Meiling and Mokou began walking ahead, until Suika saw something new. "Wait! There's more!"

"What?" Meiling went back to the statue, and there was more. Beneath the plaque, three words were etched into the gold. "Is that even possible?"

Beneath the plaque, the words "He's become stronger" were etched into the base of the statue.

Meiling simply smiled at the words, and said "You sure have, Judas. Come on, Suika, let's go see what kind of adventure we can find around the corner."

"Oh! Can we -hic- bring Momiji too?"

"Sure, why not?" Judas's fate had come to its conclusion, but now it was time for Meiling and Suika to start writing their fate. A fate that they would write for each other; one full of adventure and danger, and also hardship and pain. It would be that very pain to bring them even closer if that were possible. "We'll see you some other time, Mokou."

"It's okay," Mokou said. "You two take your time."

And with this the story ends. But remember, there will be a sequel with no definite plot. Having no definite plot means one thing to me: it has the capacity to go on FOREVER! Not only that, it'll take place on the very real world of Earth in the very imaginary town that I've yet to name (but it's in Texas because that's where I used to live) but it will certainly be an interesting story. I want to name the town something cool, something in Spanish...any ideas people
