I apologize for the long wait. I have to admit that the habit of procrastination is really getting onto me, and I had serious writer's block trying to come up with certain parts of this chapter. All right, let's begin the chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 50
Absolutely Impenetrable Defense
Reimu, Lucas, and Boney approached the Absolutely Safety Capsule, and then Pokey's voice was broadcasted from it, saying, "Well, it seems that the three of you have managed to make it here! Congratulations on reaching my throne room! It's also the highest part of this tower if you're curious."
"Porky! Your reign of terror ends here!" Lucas said while pointing at the capsule. "We won't let you take over this island!"
"I probably don't have to point this out, but what can you do if you are inside that round thing?" Reimu asked. "You can't move around inside that thing, can you?"
"Good question!" Porky replied. "The answer to your question would be... wrong! Well, you're not far from being correct either. While it's true that I cannot move around by myself, I can still strike fear to people!"
"How?"
"Simple! This Absolutely Safety Capsule is linked to this tower. I'm not saying that it is physically linked to the tower; it's more like a mental link. It means that I can control this tower just by thinking of something!"
"Okay, I get the point..."
"It doesn't matter, Porky!" Lucas said out loud. "We're going to stop you here no matter what! PSI Love!" He shot out blue hexagons at the capsule. The hexagons exploded into sparks when they hit the capsule, but the capsule was revealed to be perfectly unharmed afterwards.
"You should know by now that this capsule is immune to everything!" Porky reminded him. "I'm perfectly safe in here, so there is no way you can hurt me! Nyaha!"
"Well, you can't hurt us either," Reimu said.
"Oh really? Why don't we find out? But before that, I would like to offer you a little surprise for being the first batch of people to make it here. Lucas, you should be happy that you aren't in your village at the moment."
"What do you mean?"
"Why don't you look outside the window?"
Lucas went up to the window, and when he looked outside, he saw Tazmily Village in the distance. "I can see my village from here!" he said.
"Yes, but that very village will disappear right now!" Porky said. As soon as he had said this, the massive cannon at the top of the tower started to charge up electricity. "A single blast didn't wipe out everything in that village, but the second blast should definitely wipe out everything!"
Lucas turned to Porky and shouted, "NO! STOP IT AT ONCE!"
"Over my dead body! Muahahahahahaha!"
Once the cannon had finished charging, it fired a massive electric beam in the direction of the village. Lucas looked out the window again in horror as the beam got closer and closer to his village. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" he shouted in horror.
Reimu, on the other hand, remained calm and expressionless while Boney had a worried look on his face.
The unexpected happened however; a translucent, blue wall appeared in front of the beam when it was about to hit the village. A bright explosion occurred when the two came in contact with each other, and when bright light died down, the village was revealed to be perfectly unharmed.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD!" Porky said in shock when he saw the result.
Reimu smiled and said, "I placed some seals around the village before we left. This is to make sure that the village is safe in case you launch another attack at it. Looks like it worked out really well after all!"
Lucas let out a sigh of relief. "Phew... That really scared me for a moment... Thanks goodness that you've made preparations beforehand, Reimu!"
"It's best to be careful than to be sorry."
"Argh! I didn't expect you to pull off something like that!" Porky angrily growled. "It's going to take a while before another beam can be fired, but I'm not going to care about that for now! I'm going to teach you a lesson for messing with me! Come out, my robotic clones!"
The moment he said this, a part of the wall opened up to reveal an army of robots that looked identical to Porky when he was younger, and they were all dressed in black and white overalls with red ribbons. They all head red lights on top of their heads as well.
"Crush them all!" Porky shouted, and then the army of robotic clones charged at the trio.
BGM: Porky's Pokies (Mother 3)
"What are those?" Reimu said in surprise.
"Uh oh... Not these again... and there' are a lot more than before as well..." Lucas cried.
The entire army of robotic clones charged at the trio with their arms stretched forward. "Bright Orb Cast into Shade!" Reimu shouted as she used a card to fire blue yin-yang orbs at them.
"Wait! Projectiles won't work against them!" Lucas told her. However, the yin-yang orbs managed to hit the robots and destroy them. "What...?"
"Projectiles don't work on them?" Reimu asked him. "Doesn't seem to be the case though."
"Maybe it only applies to certain projectiles... Now that I think about it, Kumatora's PSI Thunder hitting them with no problem... Or maybe..." He turned to one of the robot and fire blue hexagons at it. "PSI Love!" However, the hexagons bounced off the robot's body and went back to him. "Yikes!" He quickly jumped aside to avoid getting hit by the homecoming projectiles. "Okay, not all projectiles work against them..."
One of the robots tossed itself at Lucas, but Boney quickly jumped at the robot from the side to push it onto the floor. When the robot hit the floor, the red light glowed brightly while giving off a loud siren. Boney quickly got away from the robot before it exploded.
KABOOOOM!
"And it will explode when destroyed!" Lucas added. "Though that one seems to have fallen a bit too easily..."
"They have been redesigned to explode more easily," Porky explained. "It really makes things a blast, doesn't it? Hahaha! What a pun!"
"Yeah, thanks for the info!" Reimu said as she stepped aside to avoid a robot jumping at her. She then ducked down to avoid another one that attempted to lunge at her. When she stood back up, she swung her spiritually-enhanced gohei into the face of another robot to knock it backwards. The light on top of the robot's head gave off a siren before exploding.
KABOOOOOM!
More robots continued to charge at the three of them. Reimu swiftly moved around the room to avoid the robots as they flailed their arms at her while using her gohei to strike them.
Lucas thrust a handful of PSI energy into the body of a robot to push it away. Another robot attempted to jump at him from behind, but Reimu flew into it with a flying kick to knock it away.
KICK!
"Be careful of you surroundings!" Reimu told him. "They're coming from everywhere!"
"Thanks for the help and warning!" Lucas told her. When another robot tried to charge into him, he held out his hands to freeze the robot in place, and then he used telekinesis to lift the robot into the air before throwing it at a pair of incoming robots. The three robots exploded afterwards.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Boney bit a robot in the right arm. As the robot was trying to get the dog off, Lucas ran towards the robot while saying to Boney, "Hold it still, Boney!" And then he deliver a thrust a palm full of PSI energy into the robot's chest to knock it backwards, and Boney managed to tear off its right arm as well.
"Bright Orb Cast into Shade!" Reimu shouted as she used a card to fire yin-yang orbs from the air. The yin-yang orbs fell onto some of the robots and crushed them, and then the orbs continued to bounce across the room, crushing any robots that got in the way. When she landed from her jump, several robots surrounded her, but she slapped a card onto the floor to make a pillar of blue light shoot into the air. "Dream Sign: Demon Sealing Circle!"
The robots were blown back by the pillar and then hit the floor before exploding.
KABOOOOOOOOOM!
"Whoa… Amazing!" Lucas said in awe.
There was still one more robot standing, and it lunged at Reimu to attack her. The shrine maiden simply spun in a circle to kick the robot in the head with a powerful roundhouse kick.
KIIIIIIIIICK!
The kick knocked the robot onto the floor, and then it exploded.
KABOOOOOOOOOM!
Reimu looked around to make sure that there were no more robots. "Well, that takes care of that," she said when she saw no more robots. "All that's left is to…"
"Don't celebrate just yet! It ain't over till the fat lady sings, and the fat lady hasn't even come on stage yet!" said the voice of Porky. The trio turned to look at the Absolutely Safety Capsule and was surprised to see that the capsule had grown eight spider-like legs and a pair of mechanical arms that ended with large white glove-like hands.
"What the! When did you become like that?" Lucas said in shock.
"While you were busy dealing with my robotic clones," Porky replied. "Did I not say that I have control of this tower? Using my thoughts alone, I was able to command the computer to add extra parts to this capsule. Did the three of you think that I was doomed to stay in one spot forever? Think again, suckers! Nyanya!"
"Oh no… How are we going to fight him…?" Lucas said in worried tone. "We cannot hurt him, but he can hurt us… This isn't a fair fight at all…"
"Well, we don't know until we try it ourselves," Reimu said. "We'll take whatever it takes to bring him down!"
The buzzsaw suddenly stopped moving, much to Aya's surprise, and she could've sworn that she heard an explosion a second before the buzzsaw stopped moving as well. "What happened?" she wondered.
Suddenly, one-way glass in front of her exploded, and then Sanae rushed into the room. "Aya! I'm here to rescue you!" she shouted.
"Sanae!"
"Hold on a second!" Sanae said as she taped paper amulets onto the chains that were holding her in place. The amulets exploded, but to her surprise, the chains were not destroyed! "What!"
"I can't even break them using my strength!" Aya said. "They're really tough!"
"Insolent fool!" shouted an angry voice that came from behind the one-way glass. Sanae and Aya turned to look at the opening created on the one-way glass and they could see a green arm gripping Reisen tightly by the neck.
"Ack! Can't… breathe…" the lunar rabbit cried.
"You shall die for the damage that you've caused!"
"Reisen!" Sanae shouted. She quickly rushed over to Reisen and helped her by whacking the arm with her gohei, causing it to let go of the lunar rabbit. Sanae then turned to face the person with sharp teeth behind the one-way glass. "I won't let you hurt my friend, and let go of my other friend as well!" Suddenly, a pair of eye beams was fired at her, so she quickly ducked down to avoid getting shot. "Hey! Are you listening to me?"
"No!" the person with sharp teeth replied before swinging his arm at her, but she jumped back to avoid getting hit, only to get caught by someone.
"Gotcha!" said the person.
"Hey! Let go of me, you pig cow demon!" shouted Sanae.
All the while, Aya continued to struggle with the chains in hope of breaking them. "Grrrrr! Why won't these break!" she growled.
"Well, what do we have here?" said a voice that sounded familiar to Aya.
"That voice... It's Remilia!"
Nitori stepped out from the seashell house while dusting her hands. "It sure is a mess in there," she said. "Banana peels everywhere... I wonder how the others are by the way."
Suddenly, a mouth lined with rows of sharp teeth came down a few millimeters in front of her face, and before she could do anything, energy balls were fired at her at point blank.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Nitori shot back into the seashell house and hit the table on the far end of the room, and then she passed out with a charred face.
BGM: Fawful's Theme (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
Fawful descended just outside the door and laughed. "Geeheeheeheeheeheehee! Such carelessness you have shown! My ambush is of flawlessness! I laugh at the stupidity that you have! Fassad you may have defeated, but the moment to shine comes when I, Fawful, take the stage! Geeheeheeheehee! Fawful shall take you prisoner!"
The extendable mouth on his headgear extended over to Nitori's left foot to bite it, and then Fawful left the place, dragging along the unconscious kappa.
Reimu, Lucas, and Boney took a step back as the Absolutely Safety Capsule took a step forward while cracking its fist. "Are you ready to be pounded into grounded meat?" Porky asked. "I'm coming after you whether or not you're readied! Here I come!"
BGM: Master Porky's Theme (Mother 3)
The capsule raised his fist into the air before throwing a punch at them, but they jumped out of the way. The fist hit the floor with such a force that pieces of the floor flew everywhere.
SMASH!
Reimu took out several paper amulets to throw at the capsule. The amulets touched the capsule before exploding, but no damage was done to it. The swung its arm at Reimu to hit her while she was still in air, so she quickly swung her gohei at it to block it. However, the force was too strong for her to block, so she was knocked through the air until she hit some machines at the side of the room.
CRASH!
"PSI Love!" Lucas shouted as he launched blue hexagons at the capsule, but the PSI attack did nothing to it. "Um..."
"It's useless!" Porky said as the capsule turned to face him. "I have the absolute defense that protects me from everything! I can attack you at the same time too, so this makes me the ultimate being in the whole universe! Nobody can hope to stop me now! Hahahahahaha! Ack! *cough*"
The capsule brought its hand together into air and then slammed them down to hammer Lucas, but he moved out of the way in time. Boney then jumped at the arm while it was still lowered and bit it as hard as he could. The arm tried to shake the dog off, but Boney gripped onto it tightly with his teeth.
Reimu threw several paper amulets onto the arm, and when the amulet exploded, the arm was also blown off.
KABOOOOOOOOOM!
"Looks like the arms aren't as vulnerable as the body," she concluded.
"Argh! How dare you!" Porky angrily said. The capsule backed off a few steps while continuing to shake its other arm until Boney was finally thrown off, but Lucas used telekinesis to catch and slowly place him onto the floor.
"Thanks, Lucas!" Boney said to him in 'dog language'.
"Don't think that you can defeat me just by destroying the additional parts!" Porky said Reimu. "I can add more whenever I want to! Just watch!"
Suddenly, a large machine placed at the side of the room broke down into pieces and then flew over to the capsule. The pieces of the machine reassembled themselves into the form of an arm when they reached the capsule. "See? Everything in this tower listens to me!" Porky said while making a fist out of the capsule's new arm. "I give them the command simply by thinking, and then they will go as I say! How's that? Cool, eh?"
"Then I'll just destroy this tower," Reimu said. "That'll keep you from doing anything."
"Talk big, will ya? Do you seriously think that you can take down this tower? Don't make me laugh! Hahahahaha!"
"Don't underestimate me and my friends! As long as the eleven of us work together, we can cause massive destruction!"
"Don't be so sure about it until after you survive this!" Porky shouted. The capsule suddenly leaped at Reimu and threw a punch using the new arm at her. Reimu jump out of the way and then threw a paper amulet onto the new arm to blow it up.
KABOOM!
"PSI Love!" Lucas shouted as he fired blue hexagons at the other arm, blowing it off.
BANG!
Without its arms, the capsule jumped back and then called for more pieces of metal, and within a few seconds, the capsule once again had new arms. This time, the right arm was a large sword while the left arm was a shield. "How about some good old sword and shield setup?" Porky asked.
The capsule rushed towards the three of them as fast as its spider legs could and swung its sword at them, but they all jumped straight up to avoid getting hit. While in the air, Reimu threw several paper amulets that attached themselves onto the front part of the capsule, and when they exploded, a large amount of smoke blotted Porky's view.
"Hey! I can't see!" Porky shouted.
"PSI Love!" Lucas shouted as he took advantage of this by blasting the sword and shield with blue hexagons. The sword was destroyed, but not the shield.
The capsule backed off from the smoke, but Boney rushed after it and jumped at it. However, he banged his head against the shield and so passed out on the floor. The capsule raised one of its front legs over the dog and Porky said to Lucas, "Would you like some hot dog on a stick, Lucas?"
"Stop! Don't hurt Boney!" Lucas shouted. He pointed his finger at Boney and was going to pull him over using telekinesis, but the shield was suddenly fired at him. "OW!"
Porky was about to bring down the capsule's spider-like leg onto the unconscious dog, but quick as a flash, Reimu threw herself at Boney and slid across the floor to push him away. As a result, she became the spider-like leg's victim. "YAAAAAAAAA!" she screamed in pain.
Lucas threw the shield aside and was horrified to see Reimu stabbed by the capsule's leg. "REIMU!" he gasped.
The capsule pulled its leg out of the shrine maiden's back and then took a few steps backwards. "Well, that was unexpected," Porky said. "So much for a hot dog on a stick..." He then called together some more pieces of metals to create a large hammer arm. "Let's have girly pancakes instead! It's hammer time!"
"Reimu!" Lucas cried out loud.
The hammer came down on to of Reimu, but the shrine maiden managed to roll aside in time before getting back on her feet.
SMASH!
Enduring the pain done to her earlier, Reimu threw paper amulets at the hammer arm to blast it into pieces, and then she took out another card to fire a large blue yin-yang orb at the capsule. "Treasure Tool: Yin-Yang Demon God Orb!" The giant yin-yang orb collided into the capsule and pushed across the room.
"That won't work!" Porky shouted. More pieces of machinery flew over to the capsule to form large arms, and then the arms caught the yin-yang orb and wrestled against it. "This giant glowing ball of doom won't do anything to me, and I can also outmatch it in strength!" Grabbing the sides of the yin-yang orb tightly, the capsule spun in a circle before throwing it across the room and towards Reimu. "Hiya!"
Meanwhile, Marisa, Duster, and Kumatora were rushing up a spiraling staircase. They eventually came to a room that had another set of staircase leading to a door at the top. Marisa also noticed a shattered window at the side. "Reimu must've gotten in through that window-ze," she thought.
Duster looked at the door at the top of the staircase and said, "They must be up there! C'mon, let's go!"
The three rushed up the staircase. Once at the top, they pushed against the door to open it. "Ngh! Why isn't it opening!" Kumatora asked.
"Stand back! I'll blow it open!" Marisa said as she got out a pot. "I'm going to throw this thing at the..." A giant yin-yang burst through it.
The three of them had no to run and were hit by the yin-yang orb. They screamed in pain as the orb zapped them with spiritual energy while going through them. Once the yin-yang had gone through them entirely, they fell onto the floor unconsciously and charred.
Reimu saw the three of them lying on the floor and was shocked. "Marisa!" she gasped.
"Duster! Kumatora!" Lucas gasped.
"Hahaha! Looks like I scored three hits unintentionally!" Porky laughed. "That really made me laugh!"
Reimu turned to capsule and said, "To think that you can grab and throw the Yin-Yang Demon God Orb... You sure are something..."
"Because I'm a child prodigy! Behold my awesomeness and tremble in terror!" Porky said as the capsule ran towards Reimu to hit her with its drill.
Reimu flew into the air and then out of the way to avoid the drill. When the capsule turned around to face her, she flew towards the lens to land a powerful kick into it. However, the lens was unharmed. "It's no use!" Porky said. "Even though the lens is an additional part of the capsule, it is also as durable as the capsule itself! Nothing can destroy it!"
The capsule then attempted to jab Reimu, but the shrine maiden moved left and right in the air to avoid getting hit.
"Doesn't that hole on your body hurts?" Porky asked.
"I'm used to suffering from painful wounds already, so I can easily shrug this off!" she replied.
"Oh really? How about I make that hole bigger? I'd like to see if you can still shrug it off!"
As the capsule continued to try to hit Reimu, Lucas charged at it with a metal rod that he found lying on the floor in his hand. "PSI Offense Up!" Lucas shouted as he transferred orange PSI energy into the rod, and then he swung the charged up rod at the capsule's legs. With a single swing, he knocked out two of its eight legs.
SMAAAAAAAAASH!
"What the!" Porky said in shock when the capsule shook and shook and tilted slightly. He turned to look to look at Lucas and said, "Why you!" The capsule tried to hit him with the drill, but Lucas jumped aside and then hit the drill arm hard with the rod to destroy it.
SMASH!
"Argh!" Porky growled as the capsule quickly backed off from Lucas.
"You're not getting away!" Lucas said. "PSI Offense Up!" He transferred PSI energy into the rod again as he approached the capsule, and then he jumped at the lens to whack it as hard as he could.
WHACK!
The lens was struck with such a force that a slight crack actually appeared on it. "What the! How can this be!" Porky said in shock. "The lens is supposed to be super tough! How can it break!"
"Take this!" Lucas shouted as he took a swing at the capsule itself.
DONG!
"Wawawawawawawa..." Lucas cried as his entire body 'vibrated' like a tuning fork.
"At least you can't break through the capsule itself! You shall pay for putting a crack on the lens" Porky was about to throw a punch at Lucas using the capsule's other arm, but Boney jumped at the arm and hit it as hard as he could. "Hey mutt! Get off it!"
Lucas came back to his senses and then quickly swung his metal rod at the legs again, this time taking out another two, thus reducing the amount of legs to only four on one side. This caused the capsule to tilt to one side.
"Argh! How dare you!" Porky growled. "But this won't stop me!" Using his thoughts alone, he managed to reassemble the remaining legs so that there were two on both sides, thus allowing the capsule to stand properly again. "And the dog has to go!" The capsule swung its arm as hard as it could, but Boney remained gripping onto it with his teeth. "LET GO OF IT ALREADY! GO CHEW ON A BONE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO CHEW SOMETHING!"
While the capsule was busy trying to shake off Boney, Lucas swung his metal rod at the legs again. However, the capsule stood up on its hind legs when Lucas swung at it. He quickly jumped back when the front legs came down again.
Annoyed that Boney wouldn't let go of the arm, the capsule detached the arm and made it fly across the room along with the dog. "Boney!" Lucas shouted as he ran to his dog in concern
"Enough is enough!" Porky shouted. Suddenly, wires hidden within the ceiling burst out from it and went to the capsule to reassemble themselves into a pair of whips. Swinging the whip arms around in air, Porky said out loud, "Time for you to feel some pain! Have a taste of my whip!"
Seeing that Reimu was in front of him, Porky went for her first. The capsule swung its whips rapidly at Reimu, but she kept on moving around with skill to avoid getting hit. However, the wound on her body reacted due to moving around too much. The pain hindered her movements slightly, and this caused her to get hit by one of the whips.
WHIP!
"Ugh!" Reimu cried as she fell back onto the floor, and then she quickly held her arms over herself as the whips came down on her constantly and mercilessly.
"Stop attacking her! PSI Love!" Lucas shouted as he launched several blue hexagons at the capsule. The capsule spun around to swing one of its whips at the hexagons, but it ended up getting blown apart.
"Darn you!" Porky angrily growled. The capsule jumped at Lucas in an attempt to crush him, but he quickly dashed underneath it and then fired a green ray of light at Reimu. "PSI Lifeup!" When Reimu was hit by the ray of light, she suddenly felt better.
"Thanks, Lucas!" Reimu thanked her. "Watch out behind you!"
Lucas failed to turn around in time and was struck in the side of the body by the capsule's remaining whip arm.
WHIP!
"Ya!" Lucas cried as he flew across the room.
"Enough is enough! I'm going to crush you all!" Porky growled.
Reimu rushed at the capsule and then moved to the side when the whip was slammed down on top of her. Taking out an orange card, she jumped in front of the lens and shouted, "Treasure Sign: Yin-Yang Orb!" And an orange blast came out from the card.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
The capsule was blown backwards from the powerful blast, and the lens cracks even more. "Argh! You're messing up my vision!" Porky shouted. The lens was still working, but there were several cracks on it. "You'll pay for this!"
When Reimu jumped at towards the lens again, the whip separated itself into several strands of wires that it was consisted of in the first place. Reimu quickly flew back to avoid the wires as they were at her, but one of them caught her by the left leg. "Oh no!" she gasped. Suddenly, electricity flowed down the leg and into her body, zapping her badly.
BZAAAAAAAAAAP!
"YAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screamed the shrine maiden in agony, and then she was slammed against the floor over and over.
"Take this! Take that!" Porky said while enjoying the sight of the shrine maiden being used a hammer. "Get out of here!" And then the capsule hurled Reimu towards the wall. After the shrine maiden hit the wall with a crash, the capsule scuttled towards her as fast as it could and then threw itself into her to smash her through the wall.
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
Reimu was sent flying out of the tower and towards the ground below, but despite the large amount of pain that she was feeling, she still managed to pull herself together in order to fly upwards. "Tsk! You sure are a pain to deal with!" Porky growled when he saw that she was all right.
Reimu looked at the roof of the tower and thought, "I think I should take out that lightning-firing thing at the top first. This should stop him from trying to destroy the village again. Plus, the seal won't be able to hold up forever if it keeps on getting hit by something as powerful as that like that." And then she flew towards the rooftop.
Porky saw her heading for the rooftop, so he said, "What? Are you trying to take down that cannon? I won't let you!" Suddenly, metal bars and pipes burst out from various parts of the tower's exterior and went to the capsule to reassemble themselves until a pair of long longs with sharp claws were formed. The capsule jumped out into the air, but then quickly spun around to sink its claws into the wall, and then it began climbing upwards.
Lucas and Boney ran to the hole on the wall and looked up to see the Absolutely Safety Capsule making its way to the roof. "He's making his way to the roof... If only we can find a way up there as well..." Lucas thought.
Reimu landed onto the orb-shaped roof of the tower and saw the cannon sticking out from the center. "All right, now to destroy that thing!" she said to herself.
"You're not having things your own way around here!" said the voice of Porky as the capsule climbed onto the rooftop. Its spider-like legs dug as deep as it could into the roof in order not to slip and fall off. "This is as far as you go, annoying girl! Meet your end here!" The capsule leaped towards and slammed down its right arm at her, but she flew out of the way.
Reimu then threw several amulets onto the right arm before the capsule pulled it back to destroy it.
KABOOOOOOOM!
"Argh! Why you!" Porky growled. "Those exploding pieces of paper of yours are starting to get on my nerves! That does it! You're forcing me to take the extreme route! Don't blame me if you cry!"
Pieces of metal burst out from the surface around the cannon, and then the cannon itself was also pulled up into the air by an invisible force. Reassembling itself with the pieces of metal, the cannon had now become a part of the capsule. "What in the world!" Reimu said with surprise.
"Take this! Super Thunder Cannon!" Porky shouted as the capsule used its newly constructed arm cannon to fire a powerful electric beam at her. Reimu quickly rushed out of the way beam's way to avoid getting hit.
"It's no laughing matter if I get hit by that!" she thought. "I must avoid getting hit at all cost!"
The capsule continued to fire at Reimu, but the shrine maiden moved around as fast as she could to avoid every single shot.
"Stand still, will ya?" Porky said with frustration.
Reimu then took out a card and used it to fire a large yin-yang orb at the capsule, "Treasure Sign: Yin-Yang Demo God Orb!"
The capsule aimed at the blue yin-yang orb as it came closer and closer, and then an electric beam was fired at it. The beam pierced through the orb and destroyed, and as Reimu was caught off guard by this, she was struck by the beam.
ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Reimu screamed in agony as the high voltage electricity fried her badly, and then she fell onto the surface of the roof unconsciously.
"Hahahahahaha!" Porky laughed. "How'd you like that? I win! I win! I win! Hahahahahahahaha! Ack! *cough* *wheeze*"
Despite getting hit by such a powerful attack, Reimu managed to open her eyes. "Darn it..." she muttered. "I'm too... weak... to move..."
As the Absolutely Safety Capsule approached Reimu to give her the finishing blow, an explosion could be heard.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The shaking caused the capsule to lose its balance, so it slid downwards. "What the heck!" Porky said in shock. "What happened?" Suddenly, the capsule's legs as well as the arm cannon fell off, so the capsule itself hit the surface, and as the surface was slanted, it started to roll downwards. "What the! What is happening! Why can't I control the parts anymore? Wait a minute! This can only mean one thing! The tower's central computer is destroyed! Who destroyed it?"
Reimu also slid down from the tower, but she fell onto the front of the capsule. Seeing this as an opportunity, Reimu slapped an orange card in front of the lens and shouted, "Treasure Sign: Yin-Yang Orb!"
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
The close range burst of energy propelled the Absolutely Safety Capsule backwards and towards the canyon below. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Porky screamed as the sight of the tower's roof got farther and farther away from him.
The Absolutely Safety Capsule struck the side of the canyon's cliff, and this caused the cliff to break and rain down a large amount of rocks that accompanied the capsule's fall to the bottom of the canyon. The capsule struck the bottom first, and then the rocks fell on top of it until it was completely buried.
Reimu also fell through the air, but she suddenly froze in midair. When she looked at the tower, she saw Lucas using his PSI to keep her in air. "Phew... Just in time..." Lucas said with a sigh of relief.
Reimu gave her a thumb up and said with a smile, "Good work, Lucas!"
Smoke was all over the place as Sanae sat up and coughed, and then she said, "Thanks goodness that we're still alive... It's a miracle!"
Remilia stood up from a pile of debris and said, "That sure went off with a bang. I didn't expect that. It sure wrecked up this place good."
"Thanks goodness that you showed up in time to help us, otherwise the three of us would have been goners..."
"Yeah! I'm the strongest!" Cirno said with her arms crossed while standing on top of a pile of debris.
"You... How dare you... cause such a damage!" said an angry voice. The girls turned to the source of the voice and saw a pair of yellow eyes looking at them from among some fallen iron bars.
"He's still alive!" Reisen said in shock.
"But then... it doesn't really matter that this tower gets destroyed. It's not part of our plan anyway. It was simply to satisfy King P." The person with sharp teeth then came out from among the iron bars to reveal himself.
He resembled a reptilian creature with cybernetic parts. Instead of having legs, he had fire coming out from underneath his mechanical upper torso, thus allowing him to hover in air. His arms were green and scaly in appearance, but his hands were mechanical in appearance and had really sharp claws that were glowing with orange light. On top of his head was a piece of metal that resembled a Mohawk and at the same time a shark fin, and his eyes were yellow and had slit pupils.
"However, you shall still feel the true pain from me, the mighty Rez!" said the person with sharp teeth.
TO BE CONTINUED
I was reminded of Yami from Amaterasu when I thought up of the way for Porky to fight while inside the Absolutely Safety Capsule. Both are giant orbs that can grow different body parts to fight. Admittedly, I'm more familiar with how Yami fights in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom than in Okami...
And finally, the person with sharp teeth's identity is revealed! People who have fond memories of the original Playstation should know about the gecko named Gex and the three games that he starred in. Rez is the main antagonist of all three games, and he's taking the form from the second game Gex: Enter the Gecko because that is the first of the three games I managed to beat. I only got to play the demo version of the first game, and it contains only the first stage... Those who played Gex: Enter the Gecko should also know who that 'pig cow demon' is.
Once again, I apologize for making you wait so long for this chapter. I will try my best to get the next chapter out. Have fun waiting!
God bless you all!
Next chapter: Wonderful Nature
Trivia:
1. The Gex series has been dormant since 1998, but Gex's last known video game appearance is in the Playstation 2 game Mad Dash Racing. Gex 4 was once planned for the Playstation 2, but it got cancelled for unknown reasons. There exist concept arts for the game however.
