Alright, before ya get to reading, gonna do a lil Disclaimer/Explanation prior to doing so in story next chapter. Here is how the Quests work since, this is gonna be RPG like minus the actual stats, there will be Weapon and accessories bought but that is really it. So here are the Quests and how they work
Special quest: Quests that directly deal with Touhou, typically find the Touhou, fight the Touhou or deal with a Touhou based plot, may have cameos of other series in it.
Side Quest: Kinda self explanatory, not tied into the Special quests mostly, usually give out good cash or weapons. This is where your goofy hijinks come from.
Hunting Quest: Means fighting kickass demons, monsters, Youkai not playing by the Spell Card Rules.
Otherworld Quest: Quests you, the Reader, can send in via Reviews or even through Inbox and I will format into either of the three quests if you wish to anyways. This is gonna be a long ass story. And yes, OCs of yours can indeed be the quest giver or even involved. No promises on spot on portrayals.
But I will do one Disclaimer: I never do Lemons, ever, if something steamy happens, I will subtly let it be seen if it happens so only the sharp eyes can catch it, so no requesting sex scenes, this ain't that kinda site.
Patchouli Pov
How annoying, this place, may have what is known as a heater, it seems that it is not enough to fight off this accursed levels of cold flowing through the home, the Library is too cold so I decided to remain in the living area under the kotatsu.
However, I myself have a guest, see, i am currently sharing a blanket with the owner. Ziden, him being a phoenix, he radiates intense heat and he offered a fix to my cold issues so am huddled up with him, watching what is known as a Tv while Remi has her head on the table.
" Television, a creation of science in the outside world that can relay information across the entire world. Including news that is far more reliable than the newspapers back home and even fictional showings meant solely for entertainment and education." My analysis on this box was spot on, Science was what this world plays with, their version of magic. Magic and Science were two sides of the same coin, though many would argue against that.
" Yep, that is essentially it, neat lil thing." His chin was resting on my hat, used his lap like a pillow and my hat was his. It was, oddly nice. Far less annoying than many of the Gappies we have dealt with in the past.
" So Reimu already headed out to deal with Sanae right?" He had asked me, me and Remi spotted her heading out earlier. " Wonderful, hope Sanae doesn't die, I hear the maiden is tough."
Tough is an understatement, she is a damn monster. I know that personal-
I was cut off by the sound of the door opening and Sanae being thrown onto the floor, that green haired lass, I feel like, ah there she is. Reimu came in right after her.
" Well, she tried her best with the rules. One Fantasy Seal, all it took." To be fair, that spellcard is lethal.
" uwaaaa, I losttt!" And that girl is whining about it. Oh, the witch is here too.
" Yo everyone! That board thing had this paper on it, for you Ziden, ze." And that paper flew over here on the cold winds...please close the door. Ah, he moved to catch it., I left the warmth of his lap. Oh, how dreadful. But the kotatsu, so warm.
" Special Quest: Dance of Winds and War. Survive or Defeat your opponent in order to clear this quest." What an Odd quest to be given out of nowhere and what a name, Winds and War?
Well, he does not seem to bothered by it, so I will remain here until I go back to my Library, my new one, thanks to Sakuya, it can be made as big as the Voile but since students come here, i have decided to have a section to aid in 'Homework' and general world knowledge books that were already here.
Well, now to...
Whoooosh!
" Mukyu!" Gack, where did all of this wind come from!? It just got warm inside of this place!
Ziden Pov
Ngh! The hell is with all of this wind pouring in from the open door!? Gotta close it fast or!
The door was being forced to remain open, no matter how hard I try to pull it close and I am damn strong, can even hear the wood cracking from me trying to close it.
" Come on! Close the damn door, ze!" And that was Marisa screeching over the wind, even Sanae was clinging to my leg for warmth.
" Oh? Its Lady Kaneko!" I'm sorry, its who now!?
No wait, I see her in my yard, Red all around, that scowl on her face and she had those giant pillars in the air, and they were spinning, making a storm all around the damn mansion. Most notable are her funbags, you could tell she was a goddess because she can walk around and not have backpain...well, there's Sanae too but
" So I was right, that Shrine Maiden was here and no surprise, she is under your care." Whew, this force she is putting off, that's what I feel over this damn storm.
" H-hey now! you can't just come here, throwing your power around!" Reimu was struggling to walk outside and I made sure damn sure to join her.
" And why should I not mortal? Oh, is it because you want me to play with your silly little card rules?" Kanako was being awfully haughty to Reimu. " A silly rule, meant to shackle power in something called fairness, how absurd! You can push it through the Government and their Diet building all you want, but I am a Goddess, and if I want to punish someone, there is only one way I go about it."
Now that I am looking about, those things are at the corners of this massive estate and only around it, she was focusing this rage on us, or rather me. So, I made sure to step up to the plate.
" If you wanna throw down, we can throw down, but not here."She knew damn well we can't throw down like this, especially not near school kids.
" That's more like it, frilly and girly rules are not for warriors like us. I will be nice, survive Five minutes and I won't turn this place into a pile of rubble, don't and well...We'll be back to only one actual shrine maiden in these lands." She was dead serious and Reimu looked mad at having her rules insulted.
" No way! If he wins, you and that other maiden are gonna follow those rules to the letter! That is the only way I will accept this non spell card battle!" She was shouting over the storm, my eyes remained focused on the goddess as she laughs.
" Fine, its not like he'll survive anyways. Let us move somewhere...more safe." Well, time for a walk, whoa whoa whoa!
Wind, wind is severely picking up around me and I feel a full on tornado around me and I can even hear Reimu screaming, she's holding down her dress and now the tornado is up to my eyes, showing me nothing but darkness and the sensation of being lifted.
This last about like 10 minutes, i almost thought I died, until I felt myself slamming down into the earth, the mushy earth, god, why can't I just have normal days?
Meiling POV
Well, that was new, this job is certainly new experiences, I get my own bedroom, I get a nice hearty breakfast, if its cold, I can decide if I wanna stay in or not, but I decided to wear the pants Patchouli was kind enough to heat enchant them. Sure, it hides my nice legs, but, well, before coming to the Outside world, no reason to show them and I am near kids now, so maybe, not so flirty.
There is that storm going on behind me and only behind me, but I am more focused on those weird types of Horseless carriages that literally hit the curb of this street, and alot of people coming out from them. Men that looked really rough and shady.
" Hey there little lady." Ah, he's pulling out a knife, that's not gonna be fun. For them anyways. " Heard there was a fella here who messed with our boys, how about ya let him know he's got some guests and let us in."
So these must be the Yakuza, I wonder if they were like those Gangsters back home, the Triangles? I do not remember them name but the one with the knife is right before me, scar on his lip. " Apologies, but the Owner said no guests of your variety, either leave now or he told me I am allowed to use Lethal force."
Well that should scare them off- Oh, there's a knife pressing into my stomach, the guy just stabbed me. " Heh, shoulda played ball redhead." Huh, after being so used to Sakuya...these guys don't really do it right, the knife is stabbing into my stomach yes but, its not piercing the actual flesh.
Its a thing to remember that Youkai can't actually be harmed by normal everyday humans, even with their weapons. We learn this by experimenting, only really lesser ones who aren't as human looking as us are harmed by this stuff. So, my response to the male? A fist an inch away his chest and within a second, I slam it into his chest and watch him stagger and soon fall down, unmoving.
"...Ooops, I'm right next to a school!" I quickly look to the right and lo and behold, some students just saw me kill a man...those humans are...not gonna sleep well tonight.
" holy hell, that bitch just took out Takeshi! Kill her right now and kill everyone in that manor!" Well, no choice now, that Keine lady is scrambling to get the kids inside and
Twooom!
make sure to end it quickly so none of the kids, wait. We're inside of the manor's lawn and the gate is closed.
" Meiling, though we may not be technical coworkers anymore, please be aware of your surroundings, there are children present." On my back was my best buddy Sakuya! She must have stopped time to drag us all in here. Patchouli is there on the porch, simply watching this with Lady Remilia.
" W-what, how did we...screw it! We're in now, lets waste the-" Oh wow, he did not even get to finish what he was say, Sakuya's knives tore through his throat in that instant and they even pulled out these weird lil objects that she knocked out of their hands.
I was swift on my feet, spinning and slamming my leg onto necks and skulls, making sure to use my chi to shatter skulls and break necks, if they were alive, well, Sakuya would take care of it. One of them shot those weird things and something slammed into my gut before it hit the ground. Huh, weird. There's a hole in my dress from it but it didn't hurt my skin.I moved fast and slammed my fist a little too hard into his chest...mainly because my arm went through him entirely.
" Goodness Meiling, try not to make a mess here." I heard Lady Remilia speaking and I pulled my arm out of that chest, wow, this was fun, these guys did not last long and I only traumatized like 4 kids, I did good today. But, where is the boss man anyways?
Ziden POV
Well there she is, standing smugly and Reimu was off, floating over the lake, many columns were in it, a temple of an old god was here, but it sunk down to the depths after the God, just was forgotten of course but i was not focused on that.
My hand was on my blade, a Devil Arm forged from a demon I fought long ago as Kanako was cracking her knuckles. " Oh been waiting for this for a long time."
" Oh come on, why are you mad at me, because of me, you don't have to go to-"
Boom!
Holy shit, I had to leap back to avoid one of those crazy pillars of hers. "Because of you, you messed with Divine Order! The time of Humans knowing the Gods are tried and true were gone when the Age of Gods Ended! But your actions...it turned all that upside down, the supernatural will return to this world, even when many do not believe and the few who do, will feed us endless faith..."
She's kinda going on a rant but yeah, even though the Gods were revealed, many don't believe, which is bad, the supernatural, demons, youkai, monsters, will attack those people to bring them fear. Those that don't believe, are always the ones hunted first.
" People...live-streamed that fight you know, God, Odin, Amaterasu, Zeus, all there, using their power to fight you because you stupidly fell for that demon of the West's words...but now, its alright, Sanae does not have to leave her family, but you caused a massive shift to their world and now...the world knows the Supernatural exist. Which will lead to Youkai being discovered, demons, and the supernatural will bite back without mercy."
She's right, the membrane between the two worlds, Human and the supernatural, was totally shattered by me, and she has a right to be mad, these few weeks are gonna be chaos.
Whoa! My blade reacted faster than I did, it cleaving through one of those pillars like butter as the force blasts me back along the muddy ground, the skies turning stormy and black and rain starting to come down. " So it is my right as a Goddess to strike you down, my Divine given right! Prepare yourself for 5 pure minutes of hell!"
The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field ( TOuhou Mountain of Faith)
Music huh, formed by the magic of a God who likes to watch heroes fight and play music accordingly, whether it be from games or Anime. But I cannot think of that, she was caught off guard by the music playing, but she's right on me!
I make sure my blade slams against the fist she slammed down onto me and I can quite literally feel myself slam right into the earth and feeling the mud spray up into the air. Gotta move fast! I roll quickly to the right to avoid a blow to the head and get to my feet. A swift roundhouse to the skull, the solid thwack I heard told me I got her dead on as she staggers.
Spin on the hell, let fire gather, be born of your being and strike. " Infernal Stake!" My foot slams into her unprotected gut like a damn rocket, fire spraying out as I watch her fly across the pound like a rocket, funny enough, soon she slammed into it and caused a literal geyser of fire and water to spray up. Gotta stay on guard, surviving ain't my thing, winning is.
" Ah, been so long since I had a bare knuckle brawl!" She sounds way too exci-geck! My body is on fire! Not literally but she snuck up one of those pillars onto me and slammed me into a tree, snapped the damn thing in two and my back is being stabbed by the bark. Gotta get to my feet, rise up and strike back.
My back's wet and it ain't water, crap, got wounds on my back, its alright, heal it off and make sure to fight. And she is right in front of me with that fist yanked back. I move my head to the right quickly, that fist, i can feel the shockwave from as I slip my arm around hers and lift her onto my shoulder.
" Wah!?" And fall back and slam her onto that Stump with the suplex! I can hear her slam down onto it and damn I used alot more strength, I literally hammered her and the stump into the ground like a damn Zelda game. I can even see the dust forming from the impact, leaping into the air, I make sure to grip onto the side of one of those Pillars as they fly at me, now I am being taken higher into the air.
" Whew! Who knew fighting a Goddess again would be fun!" I make sure to scream as I see her standing on the next pillar flying skyborn, kicking off of the one I was on, I wasted no time landing on hers, and was quickly met with her fist slamming into my face, damn, I can taste the copper now, bleeding from my nose and mouth from that strike.
Geck! She went for a chest blow too?! This lady was not joking about the bare knuckle brawling part, I had to use my forearm to block the next blow and feeling myself skid back. Wind is kicking up around us, the skies our battleground, Reimu was even flying alongside us, watching the battle go down.
Damn, my hand feels like daggers, then I guess I gotta move fast and strike hard. Shift my feet and leap forward to-
Bang!
What? All I feel is an intense pain in the side of my head, a stinging pain, wait, is that a musket she has in her hand, and its smoking, and why can I only see her from one eye. Ah, I'm falling now, gotta use my fire smartly, fire downwards, offset my momentum and make myself land perfectly.
Splat
Crabapples. There's mud in my lungs now. Face first into Mud, I could see Kanako land, not one be, I heard her land though and she was laughing hard too. " Seeing you now, I am severely curious on how you stopped Izanami 4 months ago. Even I am beating your ass."
That tone of voice, she's taunting me, gonna get up and cough up a ton of mud, and there is alot of blood mixed in with that, damn.
" Enough of this! Stop before he di-" Well, Reimu stopped what she was seeing as I was getting up and finally felt the right side of my face, I am missing the entire area where my eye is, great. I feel it, tendrils moving about and healing my eye back to normal and now I can see again, regeneration, fun times. "..." She holds up a single finger before running over to the lake and literally barfing into it.
" Huh, first timer it seems." I plainly state before seeing Kanako calming down. " Also, just to be clear, I held back because i was not trying to kill ya, dumbass."
" Oh I know. Doesn't mean I won't gloat about getting in more damage." This woman I swear. " Very well, you have won this little battle by surviving, I shall give your reward later today." She seems rather calm about this but that smirk...I do not like it.
I was very correct, I did not like that smirk. Should have read the damn quest rewards carefully. Sure, golden lights and such are nice for a level up, but money and she gets to move her shrine here to a far more populated area? Her shrine is big and I really think this Mansion area is magic now, because it fits perfectly.
" Jeez, now I have competition, thanks Ziden." And a punch to my ribs let me know that Reimu is, not happy about this. Oh god, they still hurt.
" Whatever..you will live." Reimu stares at me hard before sighing.
" Well, that was...something, atleast I know you're not a stupid human, just one with magic healing. Phoenix right?" I nodded, Yukari offhandedly mentioned me to her. " Right, well, I made sure to hit that Diet building place and now, the Spell Card Rules are a thing." Her hand is on my shoulder now, i don't like that look. " I despise senseless killing so, since you can somehow do it, if a person tries to break the rules and uh, try to kill you, go wild. Just not, too wild or I'll beat you down myself."
Yukari said she was strong but, she can't be that strong, right? Oh, speak of the devil.
" Ziden? Good timing, get your things, I found where Ran and Chen are." Oh good, then I can go find them and end this day. " They are in Washington, DC." Oh, Come on!
Akyuu Time!
" And another chapter recorded down and being shipped out! This is quite fun!" Akyuu seemed chipper as Ziden raised his brow.
" Well, seems like you are pushing me x Patchouli rather fast there, right?" Ziden asked while Patchouli stood there shrugging.
" I do not mind it, the us here did hook up quite fast, so them hooking up like that slowly is nice, though, we now know why." Patchouli smiled while looking up at him.
" Yeah, but Washington huh, wanna know why the Me in this altered world left America so fast..."
Trivia:
1: Ziden is different from most Touhou Ocs, whereas, most come in and have their adventure in Touhou and its their first, Ziden is already heavily Seasoned like a good turkey and knows how to handle himself, so he won't be a useless duck.
2. Reimu Curbstomping will be commonplace in this story, be used to it, she is incanon, a damn monster.
3. Devil Arm relates to weapons being made from demon corpses, scary things to face in battle cuz they are way too cool to underestimate.
Author's Note: Whew boy, this story and Super Hero Taisen might be on a Hiatus for a bit, not me canceling, its just that a Hurrican is coming to where I live and chances are, things might get sloppy and ugly so uh, yeah, might be a long while for the next update. However, do be sure to leave a Review and Read the Disclaimer, as I plan to do a interactive thing with you guys
