I wished that the Koopa. Bros. held up a stronger fight. I have seen Super Mario Z, and they where very strong with their special abilities, but they had the Chaos Emerald at the time, so that figures.
Game2002:
Fan-made materials will not be applied to this story since I want to portray everyone in this story as close as possible to canonical sources. The portrayal of the Touhou series in this story will be an exception as the series is full of fan-made materials, but even so, I want to stick as close as possible to its canonical portrayal, so do not expect stuff like Alice being a tsundere, Rumia transforming into Ex-Rumia when she loses her ribbon, Kaguya being a NEET and likes to sit in front of the computer all day long, etc. Okay, the latter two aren't important characters in this story, but you get the point...

Chapter 47
The Chimera of Ultimate Viciousness


A phone rang on the wall rang, so someone went to pick it up. "Hello? Ah yes, Mr. Fawful! What's that? King P uses to dispatch the Ultimate Chimera? Okay, send it to the seventeenth floor. Got it! Will there be anything else? Oh, that girl? My boss is dealing with her even as we..."

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"Yeah, he's dealing with her all right... All right, tell King P for me that the Ultimate Chimera will soon be set loose in the seventeenth floor. Hohohohoho!" And then the person hung the phone.


Remilia, Youmu, Alice, and Cirno walked together down the hallway that they arrived at when the elevator door opened. There were several windows on the walls, and on the other side of the windows were high-tech pieces of furniture such as computers and large unidentifiable machines.

"There's nobody here at all," Youmu said, "but we should still be careful of possible traps and ambushes. King P definitely won't let us be running around the place freely like this."

As they walked towards a fork on the road, a flying camera-like object with a pig nose flew in from around the corner and spotted them. "INTRUDER SPOTTED," the machine said in a loud voice. "INTRU..." And Remilia used her claws to send it flying aside until it crashed into the floor in pieces. "der... spot... ted..."

"No big deal," Remilia said, and then she looked at both the paths. "Which way are we going to go?"

"Left!" Cirno said. "That's what my instinct tells me, and my instinct is never wrong!"

"Proof?"

"Do you not believe the strongest?"

"Whatever, let's just take the left path," Youmu suggested.

"Why don't we split up into pairs?" Alice asked.

"It's better to stick together so that we can be able to take on whatever is thrown at us with ease."

So they took the left path, but suddenly, they heard the sound of growling. "Wait... The sound seems to coming from nearby..." Youmu said as she stopped in her tracks and placed her hand on the Roukanken.

"And I can tell that it's approaching us too," Remilia said.

The four of them got into defensive stance as they kept their eyes glued in the direction of the hallway's end. Suddenly, the floor shook and knocked them to their knees.

"What was that!" Alice said in shock.

The floor shook again. "There's something hitting the floor from below!" Youmu said.

Suddenly, a steel ball attached to a chain shot up from the floor, tearing a medium-sized hole on it in the process. Alice and Cirno fell back from the sudden appearance of the steel ball, which pulled back through the floor again.

The steel ball came out from the floor again, this time from behind them. "What is this!" Cirno said in shock. When the steel ball went back below the floor, the floor underneath them shook, and then it cracked apart and sent both Alice and Cirno falling to the lower floor. "YAAAAAAAAA!"

CRAAAAAAAAASH!

Remilia and Youmu looked down the large hole created on the floor to see the duo. "Alice! Cirno! Are you all right?" Youmu asked.

Alice dusted herself as she stood back up and replied, "I'm all right, and I've also found the culprit behind this."

"Whoa! Look at those huge muscles!" Cirno exclaimed.

Standing in front of them was a gray-furred gorilla with steel balls for hands. The gorilla let out a roar and then banged his steel ball hands together loudly.

DING DONG DING DONG!

"This is the new Steel Mechorilla," said the voice of Porky. "He's now equipped with detachable hands, thus giving him the ability to hit things from afar! Do not underestimate his power, or else you'll get your bones crushed into pieces before you know it. I feel bad for you already..."

"Don't think that you can scare us with those words," Alice said as she got into fighting stance.

"Yeah! I'm the strongest! Never in a million years will a gorilla be able to beat me!" Cirno said with her arms crossed.

"Hey! Do you need help down there?" Youmu asked.

"You're better off caring about yourself," Porky's voice told her. "There's someone up there who would like to meet you!"

Hearing this, Remilia and Youmu immediately stood up and then turned around. The sound of footsteps could be heard and it was getting louder and louder.

Suddenly, they heard a growling sound and then something appeared from around the corner. It was a pink quadruple creature with a massive mouth full of sharp teeth. The creature also had a pair of purple bat wings and an orange spear-tipped tail, but its oddest features were the yellow bird standing on top of its head and the white button on its back. The creature turned its head in their direction and stared at them with its yellow pupil-less eyes.

"What is that...?" Youmu asked.

"That is the Ultimate Chimera," replied Porky's voice. "It is the most powerful chimera that I have at my disposal! Lucas wet his pants when he saw how powerful and deadly this thing is. In fact, he ran like a crybaby when he saw that he couldn't do anything to it! Hahaha! It's so funny just by simply thinking about it! Ack! *cough* *wheeze* Phew..."

"Most powerful chimera, eh?" Remilia said with interest. "That sounds very interesting! Let's see how powerful it is!"

"I feel bad for you, you know? I'd be getting my coffin ready already if I were you. Good luck getting beaten up by it! I'll be at your funeral, so cheer up!"

DONG DING DONG DING!

The Ultimate Chimera slowly approached them while growling. Youmu unsheathed her Roukanken and said, "Let's take this thing down together!"

"Right, I'll show this monster that it's no match for me!" Remilia said as she bared her claws.

The chimera suddenly opened its mouth to monstrous proportions and then ran towards them, but Remilia and Youmu dashed at it as well, going pass it while attacking it with their claws and sword respectively.

SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

They came to a stop in a slightly crouched position, and when they turned around, they saw the chimera turning around to face them as well, and there was not a single mark on the chimera's body. "There's not a single scratch on it!" Youmu said in shock.

"It wouldn't be fun if it went down so easily, would it?" Remilia said to her. "This should be some good exercise!"


Downstairs, Alice and Cirno were taking on the Steel Mechorilla.

BGM: Smashing Song of Praise (Mother 3)

Alice summoned a small army of dolls and then ordered them to charge at Mechorilla to impale him with their spears. Mechorilla swung his arm at the dolls and managed to destroy them in a single swipe using his steel ball hands.

"Icicle Machine Gun!" Cirno shouted as she fired a rapid burst of icicles at Mechorilla, but the gorilla brought up his steel ball hand to use it as a shield to block the icicles, and then the steel ball shot out from his arm, though it was still connected to the arm via a chain. "Yikes!" Cirno quickly moved aside just in time to avoid getting hit by the incoming steel ball, which retracted to the arm afterwards.

While Mechorilla had his attention focused on Cirno, Alice managed to get Shanghai close enough to him to slash him in the waist with a sword. The cyborg gorilla let out a roar and then quickly swung his arm at Shanghai, but the doll moved back in time to avoid getting destroyed.

Alice immediately summoned more dolls. Armed with rifles, the dolls fired at Mechorilla rapidly. The gorilla roared angrily and then charged forward, enduring the bullets while flailing his flailing around his arms. Alice swung her arm to the side to get the dolls to move out of the way before jumping away herself to avoid getting hit by the gorilla as he smashed his steel ball hand into the floor.

SMASH!

"White Rose Cluster!" Cirno shouted as she hurled a large ice ball that she made a short while ago at Mechorilla. The gorilla quickly spun and managed to destroy the ice ball in a single blow of his steel ball hands.

SMASH!

"Ambusher Dolls!" Alice shouted as her dolls charged forward in a wall formation while pointing their lances at Mechorilla. However, the gorilla managed to destroy them as well. "Tsk!" The gorilla launched his steel ball hand at her, but she avoided it by quickly ducking. Once she moved to the side, she summoned more dolls to attack the gorilla.

Mechorilla swung his arms at the incoming dolls, but they spread out in every direction when they were about to get hit and then closed in on him from all sides to stab him in the body with their lances. However, the tips of the lances stopped the moment they touched the gorilla's skin, much to Alice's surprise.

"What!"

The gorilla flailed his arms around his body and managed to get rid of the dolls, and then he launched his steel ball hand at Alice. Alice quickly stepped aside, but the gorilla also launched his other steel ball hand at her. She failed to avoid this and was struck in the body and crushed against the wall.

SMASH!

"UGH!" Alice cried in pain. The gorilla retracted both his steel ball hands and then approached Alice while she was still leaning against the wall to smash her head in between his steel ball hands.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"ALICE!" Cirno gasped in horror upon seeing the magician receiving a painful blow.

Alice dropped to her knees and then fell forward onto the floor unconsciously.

"HOW DARE YOU HURT ALICE LIKE THAT!" Cirno angrily shouted as she flew at the gorilla to stop him. Suddenly, the gorilla spun around and slammed his steel ball hand into the side of her face to send her flying into the wall.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"Ow..." Cirno groaned as she fell onto the floor. She looked up and saw Mechorilla running towards her, and then the gorilla launched his steel ball hand at her. "Yikes!" Cirno quickly ducked to avoid the getting hit by the steel ball hand, which smashed through the wall behind her. Cirno quickly moved out of the way and then fired a three-way ice beam that spread out horizontally at Mechorilla. "Freeze Beam!"

The three-way beam was aimed at Mechorilla's lower torso, freezing him in place.

"Haha! Now you're frozen in place! You cannot move now!"

But the gorilla used his steel ball arms to smash the ice into pieces, freeing himself.

"Um..."

Mechorilla launched his steel ball hand at her, but she ducked down and then moved to the side before slamming her hands onto the floor to make several icicles shoot out from the floor and in Mechorilla's direction. "Frost Pillars!"

The icicles crashed into Mechorilla and pushed him across the room until he was seemingly crushed against the wall.

CRAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"Haha! How'd ya like that?" Cirno said, but Mechorilla smashed through the icicles to reveal himself unharmed. "What!"

The cyborg gorilla angrily roared while smashing his steel ball hands against each other, and then he ran towards Cirno while flailing his arms like crazy. Cirno quickly placed her hand onto the floor and caused it to freeze in the direction of the incoming gorilla. When Mechorilla stepped on the icy floor, he slipped, fell on his back, and slid forward at a fast speed. Cirno jumped out of the way as the gorilla slid towards her until he hit the wall.

CRASH!

Mechorilla got back up again and looked around angrily for signs of Cirno when suddenly the ice fairy hit him in the face with an icy diving kick. "Ice Kick!"

She planted her foot against Mechorilla's face as hard as she could until a thin of ice formed around his face, and then she flipped back into the air and landed in a crouched position. Despite having a frozen face, the gorilla was still able to move and he used his steel ball hands to hit himself in the face until the ice was shattered. Enraged, the gorilla roared at the top of his face and then lunged at Cirno.

"Icicle Rise!" Cirno shouted as she stretched forth her arms to make a white circle appear on the floor, and then a barrage of icicles shot out from the circle. The gorilla got hit in the body by the icicles, but the icicles did nothing to him and did not stop him from falling on top of Cirno with a mighty body slam.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

Mechorilla stood back up to reveal a flattened Cirno sunk slightly into the floor. "Gugh... Why didn't... it work...?" she cried. The cyborg gorilla raised his right foot to stomp her when suddenly a pair of dolls rushed at him and sliced him across the shoulder with their swords.

SLASH! SLASH!

The gorilla hopped back a little bit before finally retaining his balance, and then he looked at the two dolls as they returned to Alice. "Alice... Is that you...?" Cirno asked without getting back up.

Alice walked up to the ice fairy and helped her up. "Are you all right, Cirno?" she asked the ice fairy.

"I'm the strongest, so I'm all right... How about you? Your head is bleeding..."

"This is nothing," Alice said while Shanghai used a handkerchief to wipe off the blood that was trickling down her head. "Take a rest now. I'll handle the rest by myself."

"Alice! Watch out!"

Mechorilla ran towards them with his arm thrust out, ready to hit Alice in the face. Two of Alice's dolls quickly flew at the gorilla and used their shields to block the steel ball. However, the cyborg gorilla's strength was too much for them to hold back, and it did not take more than five seconds for the gorilla to push the dolls back to Alice. Alice quickly jumped out of the way while holding onto Cirno tightly when the gorilla jumped at them and slammed down his steel ball hand.

When Alice and Cirno had landed, Mechorilla wasted no time in launching his steel ball hand at them. In order to keep Cirno safe, Alice quickly hurled the ice fairy and took the impact from the steel ball to her abdomen. "UGH!" And it pushed her across the place until it crushed her against the wall.

CRAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"ALICE!" Cirno gasped in horror.

"Ugh..." Enduring the pain, Alice held up Shanghai and shouted, "Shanghai Doll!" Shanghai held out her arms and shot out a red laser beam from her palms, hitting Mechorilla in the chest. The gorilla roared in pain as he retracted his steel ball hand, but then he ran forward again. "Trip Wire!" Alice quickly hopped to the side and then sent a doll diagonally across the room, and then a red beam formed in between them, causing the gorilla to trip and fall on his face when his foot touched it. Next, Alice threw several dolls at the fallen gorilla. "Volatile Doll!" And the dolls exploded upon touching Mechorilla's body

KABOOM! BANG! BANG! BAM! KABOOOOOOOOOOM!

When the smoke cleared, the gorilla got back up as if he was never hit in the first place. "Pretty tough, aren't you?" Alice commented.

The gorilla was going to launch his steel ball hand at her again, but several icicles suddenly crashed into him from the side and pushed him away. Alice turned to the side to see that it was Cirno who did this. "I'm not down for the count yet!" the ice fairy said.

Mechorilla smashed the icicles before they pushed him into the wall, and then he ran towards Cirno while flailing his hands wildly in the air. "Seeker Dolls!" Alice shouted as she sent out several dolls into the air around Mechorilla, and then they each fired laser beams that formed a cage around him. Despite seeing the lasers, the gorilla still attempted to run through them, only to get zapped and pushed back slightly. Alice then took out a single doll. "Move back as far as you can, Cirno. Return Animate!" And then she hurled the doll through the gaps in between the laser beams. It touched the gorilla and then exploded in a huge blast of blue light.

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The force of the explosion was so strong that everything in the room was blown away. Alice stood behind her dolls that were equipped with shields in order to avoid getting blown away while Cirno made herself an ice wall for protection, but the heat of the explosion was slowly melting it. "Whoa! It's hot!" she cried.

The explosion settled down, and so the dolls moved aside for their master to see the current situation. When the smoke cleared away more and more, Alice was surprised to see Mechorilla still standing, but the cyborg gorilla was in a badly damaged state and even lost its left steel ball hand.

The gorilla angrily glared at Alice and roared, but when he tried to take a step in her direction, his entire body short-circuited, causing him to fall on his knees and then on his chest.

"Hey you! Take a load of this!" shouted Cirno as she flew above the fallen gorilla. "Ice Cube: Great Crusher!" She took out a card and then let it float into the air before firing a blast of cold air at it. The card glowed with white light as the cold air formed around it, and then in an instant, a massive glacier was formed and fell on top of Steel Mechorilla.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

The massive glacier caused the floor to crack, and then the floor broke apart, so Mechorilla, along with the glacier, fell to the lower floor.

CRASH!

But that was not all; they continued falling through the floors at the bottom one after another.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

This kept on going until they finally reached the first floor, where the glacier shattered into pieces, leaving the flattened and unconscious Mechorilla lying face first on the floor.

Alice and Cirno both looked down the hole, and then the ice fairy stood up with her arms crossed and laughed out loud. "Hahahahahahaha! I'm the strongest! No gorilla is strong to take me down! Hahahahahahaha!"

"That takes care of that," Alice said, and then she turned to her dolls while petting Shanghai over the head. "Good work, everyone!" Suddenly, there was a loud crash coming from above.

CRASH!

Alice and Cirno both looked up and wondered what was going on up there. "Youmu and Remilia are still up there..." Alice thought. "And what was that loud crash just now?"

About ten minutes ago, Remilia and Youmu encountered the Ultimate Chimera. They got into a fight with the atrocious beast and were still engaged against in a grueling battle against it.

"Lotus Stance Cut!" Youmu shouted as she used both her swords to fire a green x-shaped sword beam at the Ultimate Chimera as it ran towards her. Despite getting hit in the face by the sword beam, the chimera did not flinch at all and continued moving towards her. Youmu quickly leaped aside when the chimera jumped at with its mouth wide open.

"Red Magic!" Remilia shouted as she launched a red energy ball at the chimera just as it turned around, and it got hit in the face.

BANG!

The chimera emerged from the red smoke left behind by the explosion and lunged at Remilia, trying to chomp her. Remilia either moved from side to side or backwards at a fast speed to avoid every single jaw chomp. Remilia eventually jumped back before firing another red energy ball at the chimera. "Red Magic!"

However, the chimera charged through the incoming energy ball unharmed and continued heading for Remilia. The vampire flew into the air and went behind the chimera before forming three red spears in her hand. "Demon's Dinner Fork!" And then she hurled all three spears at the chimera from behind, and the chimera was hit as it in the side of the body was turning around.

Once again, the chimera charged at Remilia, but she flew into the air to escape it. "Is that all you can do? Running around like a mindless beast?" Remilia asked. "Well, you are a beast to begin with."

The Ultimate Chimera turned around and then looked up at Remilia, but suddenly, it was hit in the back by a green x-shaped sword beam. The chimera turned to see that it was Youmu who attacked it from behind, so it charged at her. "Human Sign: Slash of Present!" Youmu shouted, and then she dashed past the chimera while slashing it in the body really fast.

SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

Youmu was in a knelt position with her sword partially sheathed, thinking that the chimera must've been knocked down by that attack. "Youmu! Behind you!" Remilia shouted at her.

"Huh?" Before Youmu could turn around though, the chimera rammed into her from behind and sent her flying forward. "YAAAA!" Youmu hit the floor, but she quickly sat back up and turned around to use her sword to counterattack the chimera when it ran up to her. Youmu swung her sword horizontally at the chimera, but it caught the blade with its mouth and then with a shake of its head, yanked the sword out of her hand. "My Roukanken!"

The Ultimate Chimera opened its mouth again and was about to close in Youmu to bite her. Quickly, Remilia caught the chimera by its tail and then pulled back as hard as she could to keep the chimera away from Youmu. "Get back here, you monster!" the vampire shouted.

The chimera suddenly spun around and swung Remilia into the wall. Before she had the chance to do anything else, the chimera charged at her with its mouth wide open, and they went through the wall together.

CRASH!

"Remilia!" Youmu gasped.

"Ugh! Accursed beast!" Remilia growled. The Ultimate Chimera had the vampire in its mouth, and Remilia was holding its upper and lower parts of the jaw with her hands and feet respectively to keep it open. As the sides of the teeth were blade-like, her hands were bleeding and not even her shoes could protect her feet from being cut.

SLASH!

The Ultimate Chimera was suddenly slashed in the back by Youmu, forcing it to open its mouth wider and thus allowing Remilia to escape. Remilia held out her hand and formed a large red spear. "Heart Break!" And then she threw the red spear at the chimera.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!

"Tsk! This thing sure is getting on my nerves!" Remilia growled while looking at her bloody hands. Suddenly, the chimera emerged from the mass of red smoke much to her surprise. "What!" She quickly rolled to the side in the nick of time before the chimera hit her and then moved to a safer distance. "Won't this thing stay down?"

The chimera turned around and then ran towards the two girls again. Remilia and Youmu both jumped into the air, but Youmu fell back down onto the back of the chimera and planted her foot onto the white button there. Immediately, the Ultimate Chimera's eyes turned black as the beast fell lifelessly onto the floor. "What happened...?" Youmu asked, confused.

Both the girls walked up to the chimera and Remilia said, "It looks dead if you ask me."

Youmu poked the chimera with the sheath of her sword and said, "Yeah, it seems to be the case, but how did this happen? All I did was land on its back..."

"Maybe that's its weak spot? It's funny how he fell so easily just by being touched hit in the weak spot."

"Well, now that it's down, let's get out of here. We also have to find Alice and Cirno. I wonder how they are right now."

The two girls began to leave, and unknown to them, the yellow bird on top of the Ultimate Chimera's head suddenly hopped onto its back to press the button with its beak. When the button was pressed, the chimera's eyes turned yellow again, and then the beast stood back onto its feet before turning around to face the girls.

When the chimera growled slightly, Remilia and Youmu froze in their tracks. "You heard that, right?" Remilia asked.

"Yeah," Youmu replied with a nod, and then the two girls leaped aside as the chimera attempted to pounce onto them. "It's not dead yet!"

"Guess he was faking just now," Remilia said. "It wouldn't be fun if he goes down just like that anyway, so let's finish it off with our strongest shot!"

The chimera charged at them and then Remilia flew into the air while Youmu swung her sword at the chimera's face to stop it in its tracks. Youmu continued to swing her sword at the chimera over and over while Remilia released bats made of red energy at the chimera from behind. "Servant Flier!"

The chimera was too focused on fighting Youmu, so it did not seem to notice the bats when they crashed into it from behind. Every time the chimera jerked its head forward to bite Youmu, she would take a step back while hitting it in the teeth with her sword. The chimera suddenly swung its front leg at the Roukanken to knock it out of Youmu's hand. "What!" she gasped. She quickly held her hand over her face to protect herself from the chimera as it closed in on her.

Quickly, Remilia hopped onto the chimera's back and grabbed both its wings, pulling it backwards as hard as she could to try to turn the chimera's attention away from closing in on Youmu. As the chimera tried to shake off Remilia from its back, the vampire noticed the button on its back. "This must be what Youmu touched!" she thought, and then she slammed her hand onto the button to make the chimera inactive again. "There! That did the trick!"

Youmu lowered her hand to see that the chimera was no longer moving. "What happened again?" she asked.

"This is the weak spot," Remilia said, pointing to the white button.

"I see..."

"However, seeing how this guy came back to life earlier, we can be sure that it'll happen again."

Suddenly, the bird on the chimera's head jumped onto the button, causing the chimera to come back to life again.

"So that's the reason! All right, all I have to do is to get rid of that bird first!" Remilia swung her claws at the bird, but the chimera spun around and swung its front leg at her first, sending her into the wall with such a force that she crashed through it.

CRASH!

"Remilia!" Youmu gasped.

"Ugh..." Remilia groaned as she sat back up. The chimera charged into the room to attack her, so she quickly grabbed the leg of a nearby table and threw it at the chimera, but the chimera crushed it with its mouth.

CRUNCH!

Remilia then leaped aside before the chimera crashed into her. "Heart Break!" she shouted as she formed and threw a red spear at the chimera, but like last time, the chimera was unaffected by the attack and emerged from the red smoke unharmed. "Argh! You're really getting on my nerves! That does it! I'm taking you head-on! Vampire Claw!" She ran up to the chimera and started slashing it in the face over and over.

SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH!

In the midst of receiving the claw slashes to the face, the chimera opened its mouth and caught Remilia's arm with it. However, Remilia used her other arm to catch the chimera by the upper jaw and used all her strength to keep it open. "You're not taking my arm!" she angrily said. She then brought up her left leg to use it to hold down the lower jaw, and then using her free hand, she form a spear out of red energy to throw into the chimera's mouth. "Heart Break!"

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!

A blood red explosion came out from the chimera's mouth and blew Remilia backwards while the chimera itself roared in pain while shaking around its head. While the chimera was in pain, Youmu raised her arm underneath her phantom half and shouted, "Strange Half-Body!" And then her phantom half glowed with pinkish-purple light before firing energy bullets rapidly at the bird on the chimera's head.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The bird chirped loudly and painfully when it was shot, and then it fell off from the chimera's head. Immediately after that, Remilia flew to the chimera's backside and pressed the button on its back. The Ultimate Chimera's eyes turned from yellow to black, and then it collapsed onto the floor lifelessly.

"That should do the trick," Remilia said, looking at the fallen chimera. "Now that the bird is also down, this monster shouldn't be getting back up again."

"Let's hope so..." Youmu said. "This monster sure was tough to deal with!"

"Youmu! Remilia!" shouted the voice of Cirno as she rushed into the room along with Alice. "Don't be afraid! I, the strongest, have come to help you!"

"Oh, it's the both of you," Remilia said. "Don't bother; we've just dealt with the enemy ourselves."

Alice looked at the chimera and said, "What sort of monstrosity is this?" And then she noticed Remilia's bloody hands and feet. "It would seem that you had a rough time dealing with this thing."

"Yeah, this guy's a bit tougher compared to my previous enemies," Remilia said, and then she noticed that there were blood on Alice's head. "You don't seem to be handling your opponent with ease either."

"You can say that..."

Sanae and Reisen were hugging each other and trembling in fright at what was happening around them. "Wha... What... is... happening...?" Reisen said in fear.

The walls, floor, and the ceiling of the room that they in were entirely black in color, but there were also grotesque and distorting red faces printed all over the place. These distorting faces were moving along the walls, floor, and ceiling. Both the girls could also heard a deep, echoing voice saying, "Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness... I'm h... a... p... py..."

GAME2002 EXTRA SHOW

If Mokou was in the final version of the story...

"So that's the reason! All right, all I have to do is to get rid of that bird first!" Remilia swung her claws at the bird, but the chimera spun around and swung its front leg at her first, sending her into the wall with such a force that she crashed through it.

The chimera started to walk towards Remilia as she was sitting back up, but then Mokou ran towards the chimera with fist on her. "Take this!" she shouted, and then she leaped at the chimera with her arm pulled back, ready to throw punch at it.

However, the chimera turned to her with its mouth wide open. Mokou was too late to do anything, so she fell straight into chimera's mouth.

Remilia was shocked and lost in words at the sight of the chimera opening and closing its mouth over and over to chew Mokou into pieces, but then she thought, "I don't really have to worry about her, do I? She should be all right..."

After swallowing its meal, the chimera turned to Remilia and then ran towards her, so she quickly grabbed the leg of a nearby table and threw it at the chimera, but the chimera crushed it with its mouth.

Remilia then leaped aside before the chimera crashed into her. "Heart Break!" she shouted as she formed and threw a red spear at the chimera, but like last time, the chimera was unaffected by the attack and emerged from the red smoke unharmed. "Argh! You're really getting on my nerves!"

The chimera was going to charge at her again, but suddenly, it felt something moving within its throat mouth. Fire suddenly came out from between its teeth, and then its mouth was forcefully pried open by Mokou as she forced her way out its maw. "How dare you try to digest me!" she angrily shouted, and then she leaped out from the chimera's mouth.

"Looks like we have someone here who managed to go into a monster's belly and then come back out alive to tell the tale," Remilia told her.

"Yeah, and what a fantastic journey that was!" Mokou grumbled in sarcastic manner while using her arms to wipe saliva and slimy liquid off from her body.
