To the Guest: Ooooh, something tells me you loved that Death Battle fight between Erza and Roanoa Zoro. From what i'm interpreting from that review, you hate Erza with a passion. Must be painful hating an animated fictional character with passion.
BGM: Where is the Hope? (Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age)
"Dammit! DAMMIT!" Natsu punched the wall in frustration. "You shouldn't have knocked me out, Gajeel! I would've wiped the floor with all of them!"
"You seen what those Talon freaks did to Erza? She lost the moment she stepped in to fight." Gajeel said, glancing over to see the rest of his team crying or moping over Erza.
"I could've helped her! If you didn't knock me out, I would've helped her!"
"Like hell you would've! That Doom guy would've knocked you out with one punch!"
"How would you know that?!" Natsu yelled, hearing the sounds of Serena's lyre.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" Reimu suddenly screamed, grabbing Serena by the shoulders. "This Yggdrasil bullshit doesn't need Marisa's soul! Not Erza… not Futaba… NO one deserves to go there!"
"You'd rather have them suffer?" Serena asked, surprised by Reimu's actions. "It's the only way for them to be at peace."
"I only tolerated it, but no one needs to go over there! You play one more note on that lyre of yours and I'm going to break it!"
"Whoa, easy there, girl." McCree got between the two once Winston pulled Reimu away. "I understand that you're going through heartbreak, but there's no need to lash out like this. Let the little lady give them the peace they need."
"No! I'm not going to lose Marisa over this! My life has been turned upside down ever since Yukari was possessed by the Shadow Queen and now Marisa's been killed! She sacrificed her life to protect me… everything I love is GONE!" She yelled, tears falling from her eyes and falling on her knees. "I want them back… I want them all BACK!" She sobbed.
"Man… losing Marisa must really have done a number on her mentality." Scout said.
"Well, obviously. You'd be an emotional wreck too." Tracer said.
"Not to mention, from what I've seen, Marisa was the only thing keeping Reimu in line." Lucio said, leaning on a wall. "The girl's been through so much, Marisa was basically her rock. Remove that rock, and well, look where we're at."
"Yeah, but Heavy and Medic were best friends and the big guy's taking it well." Scout pointed out.
"Not true. I am torn up on the inside. I miss doktor… and getting revenge will not bring doktor back. However, I have plans for purple lady." Heavy said, cracking his knuckles.
"…Oh…"
"People handle loss differently." Spy said, casually puffing out smoke from a cigarette. "Heavy deals with it far differently than Reimu." He said, looking over to see Mei and Luigi attempting to comfort Reimu. "And then there are the Phantom Thieves." He looked over to see them moping, tears falling from Akira's eyes while Ann and Haru are crying uncontrollably. "It truly is the Darkest Day…"
"Please… I want her back…" Reimu sobbed. "I want her back… I want everything back… I hate this!" She looked up to the sky. "MARISA!"

Meanwhile… somewhere else…
"Nnngh… ugh… ow…" Marisa slowly rose up. "Where am I?" She asked, looking around to see nothing but blue skies and clouds. "Is this… is this Yggdrasil?"
"Not exactly!" A voice said.
"Who said that?" Marisa turned her head to see a light coming down and then landing in front of her, as some cat-like creature appeared before her.
"Hello! The name's Chirithy!"
"…What the hell are you? Some kind of teddy bear? A koala?"
"Do I look like a teddy bear or a koala to you?"
"Uh, then again, you do appear cat-like… so… are you a cat?"
"Think of me as a Dream Eater."
"Dream what now?" Marisa tilted her head.
"Oh… never mind. You probably wouldn't get it." Chirithy waved it off.
"So… where am I? What is this place?"
"Well, Marisa… you're in The Final World."
BGM: The Final World (Kingdom Hearts III)
"The Final… what?"
"Think of it like someone in limbo. You're dead, but not truly dead. Someone out there is clinging on to you, refusing to let you go. That's why your soul hasn't wandered off to Yggdrasil, someone is holding you back, refusing to let you go and move on." Chirithy explained.
Marisa clenched her fists. "That sounds like… Reimu."
"Yup, the miko is holding you back. You sacrificed your life to protect Reimu by pushing her out of the way and taking the bullet for her. That's pretty noble of you… buuuuuut, couldn't you have like pulled her back instead?"
Marisa sweatdropped. "I was in a lot of pain, I couldn't think clearly. It was either I die or Reimu dies."
"Fair enough." Chirithy nodded.
"So, this is the Final World, huh? Where people come here if a friend or family member refuses to let them go on?"
"That's right. You and the miko were pretty close, weren't you?"
"She was like a sister to me." Marisa said. "Sure, we didn't see eye to eye on occasion, but we always looked after each other."
"Yup, so… I guess you're stuck here."
"But hold on a second!" Marisa raised her finger up in the air. "You said I'm dead but I'm not truly dead. Is there a chance for me to get back and kick ass?"
"…Uh… it's never been done before, but, I don't see why not?" Chirithy shrugged. "I mean, it's not like you have a Keyblade and you can just abuse the heck out of the Power of Waking, like I have a feeling a certain someone will do… so… uh, see what you can do?"
"Alright! I'm gonna find a way to get a portal open, then I'll make an epic comeback, knock that Spanish girl's block off, get the Mini-Hakkero, use Master Spark up her ass… then I'll take care of Shadow Queen and-"
"One problem!" Chirithy said.
"Eh?"
"How are you going to make a comeback and do all that stuff if your chest has a major hole in it?"
"What are you talking about?" Marisa asked as she looked down and saw her chest was completely see-through. "Wah! I look like I was harpooned!"
"That bullet from that sniper girl did a number on your heart. I'm surprised you lingered an extra few seconds."
"Yeah, but that bullet was small… how in the world did the hole get so big? What, is my body getting destroyed? Is Serena taking me to Yggdrasil?"
"Well… no. Your body is fine. That music girl tried to help but the miko refuses to let her play it. Because of that, Titania and that geek girl can't get to Yggdrasil."
"…Who's Titania?"
"Erza Scarlet."
"Oooh… wait, they got Futaba?!"
"That Spanish girl didn't like being humiliated after she lost that hack-off with her… so she took matters into her own hands."
"…Son of a bitch…" Marisa sighed. "So, am I going to find Erza and Futaba in here?"
"No, those are lost souls. They're not in The Final World."
"Crap…" Marisa sighed. "Well, I guess I'll go find whatever it is I need to close this hole in my chest."
"Good luck, you're definitely gonna need it."
"Right, see ya!" Marisa quickly took off. "Alright, now where am I going to find something that'll help me close my chest up?" She wondered as she walked through the endless void. "Come on, there's gotta be something I can find!" She said, when she noticed something up ahead in the end void. "Hello, what's this?" She wondered as she ran over to it to see what it was, and when she got closer, she noticed it was a Yin Yang Orb.
"A Yin Yang Orb?" She wondered as she picked it up. "Reimu?" She tilted her head before it absorbed into her hands, where she felt her chest repairing itself a bit. "Mmm…" She winced. "A bit uncomfortable…" She said as she put her hand close on her chest. "Still… it's something, at least… oh… I can't even feel my own heartbeat. It's probably the last thing that needs repaired." She guessed as she took off, finding some pillars up ahead as she saw a few Yin Yang Orbs as she quickly jumped up on the platforms to go get them, her chest repairing itself with every Yin Yang Orb she touched.
Marisa climbed the top of a big pillar, and saw a huge Yin Yang orb in front of her. "Whoa… that's a big one." She mused and approached it.
"Hello."
"Wah! Yin Yang Orbs can talk now?! Ugh… this endless void is starting to get to me."
"Do not be afraid… I am the god of the Hakurei Shrine."
"Pffft! Right, and I'm a gal that likes punching things with her hair catching on fire." Marisa rolled her eyes.
"Mock me all you want, but it's the truth."
"…Wait… you are?" Marisa folded her arms. "Come to think of it, Yukari did mention to me about a god living in the Hakurei Shrine." She said. "…Unless… Clownpiece, did you get a voice modifier in the Mushroom Kingdom?"
The god chuckled. "No, I am not Clownpiece. I am the god of the Hakurei Shrine."
"Okay, so… how come you don't show your face around Gensokyo? I'm sure Reimu would've been thrilled if you showed your face."
"I am not needed… yet."
"Okay, so why are you here?"
"To ask you a favor. I am using my power to communicate with you in The Final World."
"…I don't know how that works, but eh, whatever. What do you need?"
"To give Reimu an opportunity to get more donations. She needs all the help she can get."
"Obviously, considering Kanako stole all the attention. Don't get me wrong, I love Sanae and Suwako, but… Kanako's a bitch."
"Something is brewing in Gensokyo… Kanako has been killed."
"Say wha?"
"Organization XIII has killed her while some friends of yours tried to get the Goddess of Nature to be friends with the shrine maiden of Youkai Mountain. Gensokyo is slowly falling to darkness as we speak."
"…You gotta be freakin' kidding me!" Marisa exclaimed.
"I wish. I've a feeling she is going to use Youkai Mountain as her lair. She is probably sending the Smash Mansion over there as we speak."
"So what's the plan of yours?"
"Have Reimu deal the final blow to the Shadow Queen in front of everyone. The humans in the Human Village will see this and will flock to her shrine and give her donations that she is seeking. She can only do so much with parties and banquets."
"Ooooh, wanting to throw her a bone, are ya?"
"Yes… and I also recommend that she, along with a few others, fight Xehanort alongside the Keyblade Wielder."
Marisa nodded. "Sounds good."
"Take care, Marisa Kirisame… and tell Reimu I said hello." The Yin Yang Orb slowly disappeared.
"Will do." Marisa said with a grin, then she walked off to collect the few remaining Yin Yang orbs, happily collecting them as her chest was back to normal… but she still felt no heartbeat. "Come on… I can't be a zombie forever. Where's the last-" She spotted a different Yin Yang Orb, this time being blue and white. "…Don't tell me." She walked over to it and picked it up, as it absorbed into her as she felt something growing inside of her as she put her hand on her chest. Her hand softly pumped, letting out a smile. "There's my heart."
End BGM
"Alright… now how do I get out?" She wondered as she walked off. "Hey! Chira whatever your name is! Where are you!"
A light came down, landing on the ground as Chirithy appeared. "It's Chirithy." He corrected.
"Oh hey… I was wondering… now that I've got my heart back in order, how do I get out of here?"
"Seriously? You're a magician, aren't you? You can create portals, right?"
"I… uh… I can?" Marisa tilted her head.
"…Oh boy…" Chirithy slumped a bit. "Well uh, snap your fingers or something! Call upon a portal!"
"If it's that easy…" Marisa said, snapping her fingers but nothing came. "Uh… I call forth a portal! Come forth!" Marisa called out, but nothing came. "Ugh… do I need to make a Spell Card for such an occasion?"
"Don't you have some sort of power in ya? I thought all magicians have wands…"
Marisa's eyes widened. "Oh! Of course!" She brought out her wand and aimed at the ground. Come on, your mother taught you this… She thought and fired the magic as a portal opened up before their eyes. "Holy shit, it worked!" She said before smirking, putting away her wand. "Hang on guys, I'm coming!" She said and started running.
"HOLD IT!" Chirithy yelled, making her nearly trip.
"Wah! What now?" Marisa asked as she turned around.
"I have to warn you… going in that portal isn't as simple as you think. You're not just going to wake up and kick butt like usual like nothing ever happened. This portal isn't like any other portal you've seen. When a portal is used in here, you basically go back to the time mere moments before your death."
"…Wait, are you suggesting that I'm gonna go back to where I was in excruciating pain when that bitch used Master Spark against me and I got bludgeoned by Sir-Punches a Lot?!"
"'Fraid so. That's how it works."
"But… there has got to be a better way! I don't want to experience that again!"
"There's no other option. You either go in there and save your best friend from falling into despair, or you hang out with me."
"Mmm…" Marisa folded her arms, closing her eyes. On the one hand, she would be back with her friends… but she'd be in serious pain once more. On the other hand, she wouldn't be experiencing any pain at all… but she would be incredibly bored out of her mind since there's nothing but endless sky and clouds while Reimu would be despairing and her soul wouldn't make it to Yggdrasil. "…So, if I go through there, I can change the past, right?"
"Yes. You'll also save another soul if you do."
"Would I save both of them?" Marisa asked.
"No. The geek was already killed the moment the Shadow Queen appeared to the others."
"…Well, I guess two out of three isn't bad, I guess… not the greatest, but it'll have to do." Marisa said and took a deep breath. "Alright… here goes."
"Good luck, Kirisame. You're gonna need it."
"Right… see ya Chiraloo!" She said and ran in.
"It's Chirithy!" He called out as the portal closed. "Goodness, couldn't even memorize my name…"
End BGM
Several minutes earlier…
"Hmmhmmhmm… not so tough, are you?" Yukari smirked, snapping her fingers as the dome disappeared as it was revealed that Eternatus knocked down the Pokemon trainers, though Bea was refusing to go down. The Demon Tide did a number on everyone as Mercy and the other healers were trying to keep everyone alive. Yukari whistled at the Demon Tide, ordering it to stand down as it went up in the air and went inside a portal, then she slammed her foot into Reimu's chest.
"Nnngh!"
"Well now… since you've given me quite a show on how weak you are… I suppose I can show you where your friend is at." She said, snapping her fingers again as a panel rose from the ground, revealing Marisa chained to a wall as the Crystal Star was above her… but the former was looking extremely bruised and battered.
A light shined bright on Marisa's chest, but only she could see it. She had come back to this present time. "Nnngh! I so… didn't miss this pain…" She whispered, weakly looking through her surroundings and saw Sombra standing there and watching, and saw Widowmaker getting into position. There's that bitch… She thought.
Reimu gasped. "Marisa!" She exclaimed, suddenly finding her second wind as she quickly fired a point blank Yin Yang orb at Yukari as she quickly got up and flew off, as Zacian snarled at her.
"Let her have her moment, my dear." Yukari said, turning her head and seeming to be nodding at something.
"Marisa! Marisa!" Reimu flew over to her as she quickly destroyed the chains with her danmaku, causing the witch to fall but she quickly grabbed a hold of her. "Marisa… please, open your eyes!" She begged as Marisa slowly opened her eyes.
"Rei… Reimu…" Marisa whispered. "I… I'm sorry… I…"
"No… save your strength…" Reimu said as she slowly rose and helping Marisa up, then gave a harsh glare to Yukari. "What did you DO to her?!"
"Me? She waltzed right into our trap. She's the one who did it to herself." Yukari pointed out.
"But you're the one who beat her to a pulp!" Reimu shot back.
"Oh, did I?" Yukari smirked as Marisa noticed something on Reimu's chest. Her eyes immediately widened before scowling and clenched her fists.
Showtime. She thought. I'm not going to let this happen twice!
"Well, to tell you the truth, Reimu… I'd say that's completely exaggerated."
"Why you-"
"Rei… mu…"
"Marisa… I told you to save your strength."
"Move…"
"Huh?"
"I said… MOVE!" She yelled, using all the strength she had left to pull Reimu out of harm's way, both of them falling over as the sniper bullet missed them, hitting the ground.
"Huh?!" Yukari exclaimed in surprise.
"Quoi?!" Widowmaker exclaimed.
Reaper was in disbelief and turned to Widowmaker. "How could you miss! You never miss!"
"They just got lucky!" Widowmaker shot back.
"No matter. Shoot the weak one." Doomfist yelled.
Widowmaker aimed at Marisa who was struggling to get up, then noticed Widowmaker aiming at her, the dot was right between her eyes. Unfortunately, her remaining strength had dissipated the moment she pulled Reimu away. "…Ah hell…" She grumbled as Widowmaker took the shot…
CLANG!
…Which hit Erza's Adamantium Shield after requipping from her Flight Form.
"Don't think so!" Erza said.
"Quoi?! AGAIN?!" Widowmaker yelled.
"Reimu, get Marisa to safety!" Erza ordered.
"Right!" Reimu nodded, picking Marisa up and flying off.
"As for you…" She quickly requipped into Heaven's Wheel.
"Oh, I don't think so, hermana!" Sombra aimed her hand at Erza, but noticed a shadow looming above her. "Huh?" She looked up as she saw Elfman about to land on top of her.
"FOR MY FAMILY!" Elfman yelled.
BGM: Against Magic (Fairy Tail)
"Ack!" Sombra jumped back as Elfman landed and punched her in the gut, sending her flying.
"You Talon folk aren't REAL men!" Elfman declared and then a card was thrown between them, landing in front of Doomfist who was running to the both of them.
"Prayer's Fountain!" Cana yelled, as a fountain burst up on Doomfist's chin and knocked him back. "What you did to my family makes me sick…" Cana growled.
Widowmaker aimed her sniper rifle at Cana. "Ah, the lost lamb." She smirked, but suddenly an ice arrow embedded itself in the sniper rifle, knocking it out of her hands. "Quoi?!"
"Don't even think about it." Gray said as she turned to see him and then Juvia threw waves of water at her that knocked her off.
"Nnngh!"
Reaper quickly aimed his pistols at them and shot them, but a steel club got in the way and then Pantherlily came flying in and slashed at Reaper. "Argh!" He growled.
"This melody… it must be used for such a thing like this!" Sigma said. ""Het universum zingt-"
"Open! Gate of the Giant Crab! Cancer!" Lucy called out as sand was shot out at Sigma.
"Argh! Aaagh!"
"You cannot win! Fairy Tail fell easily before us… what makes you think you can stop us?"
"Oh, we're not stopping you… we're stalling!" Gajeel smirked. "Now Salamander!"
Natsu jumped up from behind Erza, his arms bursting into flames. "FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!" He yelled, knocking them all back.
"Lllrooooard!" Zacian came running at Fairy Tail, attempting to slash at them… but Gajeel used his Iron Club to knock the wolf back.
"Down, fido!" He said. "Come on, let's move! The witch is probably back to her old self again!" He exclaimed. "Hey shorty, you have the Crystal Star?"
"Yeah!" Levy held it in her hand.
"Good, now let's get out of here!" Gajeel said as they ran off while Juvia held Yukari in a watery prison and Gray froze it up, then they took off.
End BGM
With the others…
"Alright, got you all patched up!" Mercy said as she, Serena and Wendy had healed Marisa up.
"Phew, thanks guys!" Marisa smiled. "I feel much better now."
"Come on, let's go while they're down!" Luminary said as they nodded and tried to run off… but someone grabbed Marisa by the shoulder.
"You're coming with me, hermana!" Sombra said, translocating and taking Marisa with her.
"Wah!"
"Marisa!" Reimu exclaimed.
"She's probably still in Hammerlocke! We can still find her!" Raihan said as they nodded and ran down the stairs.
With Marisa and Sombra…
"Nngh!" Marisa was thrown to the ground inside the Hammerlocke Stadium.
"I'm not sure how you managed to do that, but I'm killing you right here." Sombra said, pulling out the Mini-Hakkero and aiming at Marisa. "But first, I'll weaken you with this!"
Marisa clenched her fists. "I'm going to take that off your hands… and then beat your ass with it."
"Hmhmhm, I'd like to see you try. You don't even have another hakkero on you! You're as good as dead."
Marisa scowled at her, before remembering something. "Actually, I do." She said, reaching into her pocket. "Let's just say after one certain incident with a mallet, a friend crafted this for me." She said and aimed another hakkero at Sombra.
Sombra's eyes widened in surprise before smirking. "That's probably just a cheap knockoff."
"Can a cheap knock off do this?" Marisa smirked, clicking a button as a small flame came out of it. "This ain't just any hakkero… it's a Bewitched Hakkero… and it'll burn you alive."
Sombra laughed. "I'm not scared of that."
"Oh you will be… after I'm done with you and getting my Mini-Hakkero back."
"You want it so bad?" Sombra smirked. "Come take it!"
BGM: The 13th Dilemma ~ Xigbar Ver. (Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind)
Sombra quickly cloaked herself while Marisa fired a few danmaku bullets, but didn't hit anything. Sombra quickly uncloaked herself and shot Marisa in the back with her Machine Pistols "Argh!" She winced as she turned around and fired a Milky Way, but she didn't hit anything… and then Sombra ran over and kicked her in the stomach and then delivered a flip kick that knocked Marisa up in the air.
Marisa quickly recovered and floated in the air, unleashing Orrerries Sun, flipping around as one of the lasers hit Sombra as she was trying to avoid the attacks, knocking her out of her cloak as Marisa turned around and fired another Milky Way, grazing Sombra as she landed, then she ran over and punched Sombra in the face, then Sombra aimed her Machine Pistols at her face and shot her, forcing her to duck but Sombra sweep kicked her down.
"Hmhmhm~" Sombra smirked, aiming her hand and hacking Marisa and then kicked her swiftly.
"Argh!" Marisa winced as Sombra aimed her pistols at her, but Marisa kicked her in the shin and then got back up, punching her a few times and then delivering an uppercut. "My magic may be disabled from you, but I've learned a thing or two from Mario!"
"Heh, I've been punched by worse." Sombra smirked and then delivered a solid blow to Marisa's gut and then delivered a roundhouse kick, but Marisa would block this in time and grabbed her leg, flipping her around and aimed her Bewitched Hakkero at her, shooting fire at her. "Agh!" Sombra yelped, jumping back and pulled out the Mini-Hakkero at Marisa. "Master Spark!" She yelled, firing the Master Spark.
"Flamethrower!" Marisa yelled as a massive stream of fire hit the Master Spark, both of them colliding into each other. Sombra quickly aimed her Machine Pistol and shot Marisa in the knee. "Aaagh!" She winced, losing some power in the flamethrower as the Master Spark inched closer to Marisa, but she wasn't going to give up. She pulled out a Deep Ecological Bomb and rolled it over to Sombra who wasn't even paying attention as she was more focused on overpowering Marisa. It wasn't until it started glowing brightly that she finally noticed it.
"What the-"
BOOM!
"Argh!" Sombra was blasted back, the Master Spark deactivating as the Flamethrower hit her. "AAAAAGH!" She screamed before she rolled out of the way. "Ahora me hiciste enojar!" (Now you made me mad!)
"What'ya gonna do it about?" Marisa smirked as she hopped on her broom and flew over to her.
Sombra smirked back. "Apagando las luces!" (Lights out!) She yelled, using her EMP to make Marisa fall back to the ground, faceplanting.
"Rrgh!" Marisa faceplanted as she slowly got up, but then got hit by her own Master Spark. "AAAAAAGH!"
"Hmmhmmhmm." Sombra chuckled as she cloaked herself as she ran and kicked Marisa in the face to knock her down, before getting on top of her and punching her face repeatedly while uncloaking herself. Marisa snapped out of her pain and grabbed her fist before she could get punched in the face again, then she twisted her arm as Sombra winced and then Marisa used her free hand to deliver a right hook on Sombra to get off of her, then she got up and kicked Sombra in the chin, then when the EMP deactivated, she quickly fired Starlight Typhoon to knock her on her back.
"Nnngh…" Sombra groaned as Marisa jumped on her broom and flew off, and when Sombra came around, she looked to see Marisa flying toward her.
"BLAZING STAR!" She yelled.
Sombra scrambled to pull out the Mini-Hakkero and aimed it, but by the time she aimed it, Marisa slammed into her. "ARGH!" She cried, letting go of the Mini-Hakkero as Marisa noticed this as she quickly hopped off and ran to the Mini-Hakkero, which Sombra quickly scrambled to get it too, but by the time she bent down to grab it, Marisa slammed her foot on her hand. "AAAGH!" She cried as Marisa picked it and flipped it up in the air and caught it.
"Heh…" Marisa smirked and looked at Sombra. "Hey… how's it going? Master Spark." She said, firing the laser at Sombra.
"AAAAAAAGH!" Sombra screamed.
"Double Spark!" Marisa yelled as Sombra screamed as two Master Sparks hit her. "FINAL SPARK!"
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sombra screamed… and when the laser finished, she fell on her hands and knees.
End BGM
Marisa aimed her Bewitched Hakkero at her. "You're finished." She scowled at her.
Sombra let out a pained chuckle. "Aren't you forgetting something, hermana? Your Gensokyoan laws dictate that your danmaku can never kill."
Marisa let out a chuckle, smirking. "Honey… we're not in Gensokyo." She said as Sombra's eyes widened in horror. "Dark Spark."
A huge dark laser shot out, slamming into Sombra as she screamed in agony… and then Marisa added some fire into the Dark Spark, practically roasting her alive as she let out agonizing screams before her screams died. Marisa smirked as she held on to the Flaming Dark Spark for a few extra seconds, before deactivating it. All she saw was a darkened outline of where Sombra once was.
"…Good riddance." Marisa said, putting her Hakkeros away and walked out of the stadium.
"Marisa!" Reimu ran up to her after she walked out, quickly hugging her as Marisa hugged her back. "You're not hurt, are you? What happened?"
"Let's just say that ghost lady won't bother us anymore." Marisa said and walked off. "How's everyone?"
"Well, we got the Crystal Star and we were looking for you… and well, we found Futaba's body. Sombra got to her."
Marisa sighed. "Well… at least Futaba's been avenged." She said.
"Yeah, but the Phantom Thieves are torn up about it, especially Akira."
"I'll go tell them. None of her remains anyway." Marisa said, walking off to go talk to them.
"…Something about Marisa seems different…" Reimu mused. "Hmm, maybe it's just my imagination." She said and walked after her.
Meanwhile…
Yukari's icy prison shattered as she landed on the ground, looking extremely angry. "Those… those good for nothing PESTS!" She yelled. "How dare they humiliate me and my crew!" She snarled. "Fine… you want to play hard ball… I'LL GIVE YOU HARD BALL!" She screamed, opening up a gap and walking inside with Zacian, Eternatus and the rest of Talon walked/floated through the gap.
So, you might be wondering "Uh, Nan? What the heck did I just read?" Allow me to explain!
You see, after I wrote the chapter, a friend of mine was (obviously) upset with me, and then the next day, another friend approached me on Discord and asked "What if Marisa was in The Final World instead of heading over to Yggdrasil?" and when I brought it up with my friends, it just snowballed until it formed into... well, this!
It's funny, I killed off Marisa to lower morale and also killing one of my favorite Fairy Tail characters to lower morale even further and all of a sudden, they're baaaaaack! I wasn't even planning on bringing those two back until Shadow Queen was killed. Funny how that works, no?
Yes, Erza is one of my favorite Fairy Tail characters. I didn't need to say this, but looking at that Guest review I got, I thought "Eh, why not? He's probably gonna be mad at me for bringing her back anyway!" I mean, I love Erza! She's strong, she's serious... and she's a straight up dork who hangs out with Team Natsu too often. Seriously, whenever she's caught in silly shenanigans, her flustered reactions are hilarious! I just love her! She's awesome! (...I didn't like that Death Battle though, but I got over it... Green Lantern vs Ben 10, meanwhile... nope! Not getting into that!)
Anyway, take care y'all... and if you'll excuse me... I gotta go get some fries!

EDIT: Sometimes... we make boneheaded mistakes. That's what makes us human. I usually take criticism against characters with a grain of salt and just go about my day. Something about that review regarding Erza last chapter kinda rubbed me the wrong way somehow and I didn't really think it all the way through when I wrote up that thing up top. I'm not sure HOW I interpreted it like that... maybe because I didn't know it was memeing? So uh, to that Guest, i'm sorry. Kinda dumb of me to think of it like that.
