(Part 2)
(Stage Start!)
Alice was at the Hakurei Shrine, having split off with Marisa to press Reimu for anything she could get out of her. Marisa had told her Reimu had been acting strange for the past two weeks, like she wasn't acting like Reimu, whatever that meant.
'Then again she knows Reimu far better then I do.' Alice thought as she neared the shrine. Reimu on the front porch of it sweeping. She landed on the stone path leading up to the shrine, Reimu noticing her as she stopped sweeping. "Hello Alice, what are you doing here?" Reimu asked, wondering why Alice had stopped by.
"I've come to ask about the feasts, or rather why there are so many of them?" Alice asked, trying to so if she could gently prod into Reimu with light questioning. "There's nothing strange about the feasts, the only issue I have is that I have to clean up the shrine afterwards." Reimu said.
THAT one sentence, even for her first question hit something very obvious, pretty much a fact about Gensokyo, if something didn't involve an incident Reimu was easily one of the most lazy people in Gensokyo. She would spend her time lazing about the shrine, and general doing anything that usually was not productive if Gensokyo as a whole wasn't threatened or involved.
But the real kicker was that she said she wasn't bothered by the feasts. Alice had known Reimu for a long time, and Reimu wasn't one to just up and allow people to have feasts for just any old occasion at her shrine. 'Guess I do know Reimu better then I thought.' Alice thought as she looked closer at Reimu. Her eyes going slightly wide as she noticed something new about Reimu's face.
It was slightly, ever so slightly in a glazed over look… just like Ran and Chen had. But Reimu was the shrine maiden of a youkai HUNTING shrine, but it was by Yukari's own admission she had assisted Reimu, that she kinda cared about her.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Really? More mind control? Is mind control the only way Yukari can do ANYTHING in this series?
WildMath55: If that's the case, then she'll be ousted by Libra from Mental Omega APYR. No, really. Epsilon Army will trounce her in this particular game. And UNM employs them.

'Does that mean Reimu?' Alice thought her mind wandering as Reimu glared at her. "You going to say something or what?" Reimu asked, now that sentence was pure Reimu. 'Maybe Yukari has some sort of mental suggestion in Reimu? But I sure wouldn't want to ask her myself.' Alice thought, shuddering slightly at the thought of encountering Yukari again.
"Reimu there isn't anything wrong with people using your shrine for these feasts?" Alice asked, looking as Reimu's look slightly glazed over again. "No, why are you asking these questions Alice?" Reimu said, her look unglazing as she glared at Alice.
'Jig's up.' Alice thought. "You haven't been yourself lately Reimu, and you've just proven that to me, now I have to go." Alice said, turning around and trying to walk out of the gate to the shrine, hitting a barrier.
Turning around Alice saw Reimu with her look completely glazed over, flecks of purple in her eyes as the one thing she didn't want to happen, happened. A Gap opening up above Reimu, and out came the woman that now pretty much haunted her nightmares. Yukari.
"My, my such a noisy little magician? Did you miss me?" Yukari said, flashing a smug grin as Alice backed up as far as she could, hitting the barrier that was keeping her trapped in the shrine.
Alice had half a million things going through her head, like fear, wondering just what Yukari was doing here, and just WHAT had she done to Reimu! "What… what have you done to Reimu?" Alice sputtered out in fear, if she wasn't in so much fear, she would have slapped herself for asking such a question.
Yukari closed her eyes and sighed, looking at the magician before her, watching her squirm. "Call it a precaution, eventually Reimu's duty as shrine maiden will end, and when that does well, I'll let you figure that out if you can, but call this a test drive." Yukari said, sounding smug and calming at the same time.
"A… A test drive… of what?" Alice sputtered out. Yukari once again flashed her smug little grin. "Many things, but most importantly, seeing if you and your little friends are worthy, and how Reimu is coming along." Yukari said as she disappeared, but the glazed look remaining on Reimu's face.
Omega E The Reader: I think it is very problematic if the Hakurei shrine is being mind controlled…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And what's that test drive? This is hardly brought up afterwards.
WildMath55: Reimu is totally nerfed to oblivion here.

Reimu walked off the shrine's porch, drawing her purification rod. "Lady Yukari says if you can beat me, you shall be let go." Reimu said in a glazed over tone, like it wasn't her talking at all. "Reimu…" Alice muttered, fearing for her friend as Shanghai floated out of Alice's storage, already holding a rather large sword as the semi-sentient doll floated before it's creator.
Alice got into position opposite of Reimu holding her Grimoire alongside keeping her spare hand in her pocket, ready to throw out dolls at a moment's notice.
BGM: [Touhou]-Reimu's Theme: Maiden's Capriccio-Dream Battle ~Remix
Reimu threw out a array of ofuda, Shanghai floating out of the way as Alice erected a barrier with help from some dolls to defend herself from the amulets. Shanghai flying at Reimu with the sword as large as she was as Alice threw out a small wall of dolls with muskets.
Reimu dodged the swings from Shanghai's sword, before smacking the doll out of the way, Alice using the moment to fire her own shoots alongside the miniature wall of danamaku that her musket wielding dolls shot.
Reimu looked at the wall for a moment before a gap like Yukari's opened up behind her, swallowing the shrine maiden as the bullets past her location and she reappeared from a new gap above Alice.
Alice looked up and saw Reimu, directing her dolls to fire as Reimu dodged the high speed shots, Alice throwing out more and more dolls to cover herself, she wasn't taking any chances. Not after last time.
Reimu had staring down no less then fifty dolls, plus Shanghai and Alice herself, the emotionless expression on her face betraying the inner calculation from Yukari. 'No openings… all sides covered, zero percent chance of breaching at current power, permission to release limit.' Reimu thought to Yukari. 'No, this is a test, if she can not beat you at your current level of power, then there is no hope.' Yukari thought to Reimu.
Reimu wouldn't remember any of this afterwards as Yukari started running calculations in her head, literally HER head. Reimu held her hand above her head, pouring power into an orb that formed above her head, a large Yin-Yang ball that quickly grew to tremendous size.
'Throw it, if she's can't stop this monster, then she is not ready.' Yukari thought to Reimu, watching through one of her gaps at the fight.
Alice herself was trying to remain calm as she saw the large orb above Reimu's head, the one she reserved to basically obliterate Youkai… which didn't help since Alice herself was one. Her current supply of dolls wouldn't be able to withstand it. So she would have to get creative if she wanted to win.
Forming her dolls into a bowl shape she watched as the thrown orb advanced on her, as she commanded her dolls to prepare to, if not stop, to deflect the orb. All the dolls had dropped their weapons as they held out their tiny arms to try and catch the orb as one.
When the orb hit the bowl of dolls, it was very obvious that the orb was winning, her dolls struggling against the power. But sending it back wasn't the plan as she redirected the orb towards the side, sending it flying elsewhere as she recalled her dolls, Reimu floating down to the ground as the large orb exploded off to the side, drawing a pair of senbon from her robes.
Alice grimaced as she pulled one of her doll's lance's out of her robes, she was far from the best at close quarters combat. But she didn't have to fight fairly. Shanghai floating behind her as a doll with a shield and a doll with a bow orbited around her, two dolls with swords in front of her as she prepared to clash with Reimu.
In a flash the puppeteer and the Shrine maiden clashed, her two dolls with swords stopping Reimu's senbon as she jabbed her lance at Reimu. The shrine maiden rolling away and disappearing as her shield doll floated above her, stopping Reimu's attempted dropkick as Shanghai jabbed her own lance at Reimu.
Reimu herself parried the lance as she tried to stab Shanghai, the little doll floating just outside her reach as the two sword dolls, directed by Alice, swung their blades at Reimu in an x formation. Reimu lifting up her other arm to stop the two dolls with her senbon, the swords and metal rod causing sparks as they clashed from the friction, but with Reimu occupied on all sides, the bow doll nocked an arrow on Alice's command, firing at Reimu's exposed back.
What should have been a direct hit didn't connect as a gap opened behind Reimu, the arrow flying in as a gap opened next to the sword dolls, the arrow flying out and crashing into them, Reimu stabbing the stunned dolls with her senbon, sending them flying. Shanghai herself tried to duel with Reimu's other arm, but Reimu stabbed at her, forcing her back as she stabbed her other senbon into the shield, throwing an ofuda at the archer doll, knocking it out of the air.
Stomping the senbon she had stabbed into the doll's shield the shield shattered, and senbon going into the doll. Reimu's emotionless eyes widening as the doll grabbed her senbon before glowing red, exploding and blasting Reimu away from Alice and blowing up her senbon with it.
Alice glared at Reimu as she got up from the explosion, her white and red robes smoking slightly from the blast as flecks of unlighted gunpowder lay on her clothing in small black spots. Yukari herself noticing the doll's own volition in exploding instead of retreating like a normal doll did. Having sacrificed itself to save it's creator and get the space she needed between Alice and Reimu.
'Does she not realize that her creations are gaining their own sense of self?' Yukari wondered absent mindedly as Alice sent out more dolls as Reimu pulled out a new senbon to replace the one the doll had blown up.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Why do those stories always have Alice be completely clueless about her dolls becoming sentient?
Omega E The Reader: I am pretty sure Alice is way smarter than that.
WildMath55: For this, I'm going to give this the total 13 Sin Counts for every single doll class that has Alphas plus Maybell. There's a reason Alice can assemble her own forces.

BGM: [Touhou]-Alice's Theme: Doll Judgment ~ 2ºRemix
Alice and her army stood opposite of Reimu once more, Shanghai at the front as Alice lead from the back, like the commander she was. Commanding her dolls forward Shanghai and the first wave charged at Reimu, a second wave of archer dolls firing on Alice's command.
Reimu herself put up a barrier above her to stop the hail of arrows as Shanghai engaged Reimu, her squad of dolls surrounding her with their lanes, spinning in tandem to close off Reimu, using her own barrier against her to keep her fly flying off. Shanghai herself was dueling with her sword against senbon, Reimu striking with hard force, but the small doll refused to budge as sparks flew from enchanted metal on purified metal, more dolls enclosing on Reimu as Alice herself walked closer to Reimu, stopping for a moment to grab the remains of the doll that had sacrificed itself to give her this opening.
With the spinning dolls cutting into her clothing and Shanghai now being assisted by other sword dolls, and with shield dolls forming a dome over the arena, Reimu was being pelted on all sides, on the verge of passing out as she fell to her knees, using a senbon to keep from completely falling.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: She's holding herself up...with a needle?
WildMath55: I don't even know how's that possible... If you ask me, she should use her gohei instead.

Alice walked up to Reimu, her dolls parting the way to allow their creator to advance on the beaten Reimu. Lifting Reimu's chin and staring into her emotionless eyes Alice spoke. "I've done my research Yukari, and I know you can hear me, Reimu has lost now release my friend now!" Alice threatened, knowing full well what Yukari could do to her, but something drove her more then fear.
She was a Magician, a youkai, she was supposed to inspire fear, and if she fell prey to it then what was she, she would not stand idle in fear as someone took control of her old friend, and she would not allow it.
Yukari seemed to comply as emotion returned to Reimu's eyes before they closed, Reimu passing out from the pain of battle. Having her dolls carry her into the shrine and lay her down on her hammock Alice left with her army following her as the barrier dropped. Not noticing as Yukari gapped into the shrine to see Reimu again.
Omega E The Reader: What even was the whole point of the fight? To prove that Alice doesn't know jacks*** with her dolls?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Probably.
Omega E The Reader: But wait. You will see something big…
WildMath55: Either H-Alice will be shocked or disappointed here.

Yukari looked at the unconscious shrine maiden before opening a gap to sit next to her as she lay in bed. She had never really cared for the Hakurei shrine maiden before, not until the massacre that left the young Reimu alone in the world, as the very last Hakurei. The worst bit was the massacre wasn't done by Youkai.
It was done by humans, and blamed on Youkai. For the people feared the Hakurei as much as they feared Youkai, and while the youkai were to powerful, the spiteful people could still take their wrath out on their unknown protectors.
Yukari had saved Reimu that day, having driven off the spiteful villagers herself that day to save her, occasionally dropping in to help Reimu grow and learn. But she knew Reimu didn't remember those early years. Laying her hand on Reimu's head she closed her eyes and teleported away. She wouldn't let the one human she cared about fall after all.
Omega E The Reader: Oh yes. This was the big thing.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: The biggest BS moment in the whole Gensokyo part of this story. It's so BS that it causes MORE BS just by existing. You'll see.
WildMath55: Yeah. That's literally the reason why this Gensokyo is FUBAR. Reimu being under-appreciated is one thing. But her being hated altogether? Yeah, I'm going to give this Percival +2 after adding my own Sin Counts. We're so close, Yasei-kun, Reimu.

Back at the library Vaati and Cirno had regained consciousness, while Sakuya had been frozen afterwards for good measure. "So… the mist is the cause of an oni?" Vaati asked, trying to wrap his head around how a demon normally associated with hell… was making mist.
Omega E The Reader: Now what do you think about this scene?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Onis are youkais, not demons. Keep that in mind for later.
WildMath55: Yeah. Speaking about oni, H-Reimu can transform into one.

"Actually one of the four devas of the mountain, to be more specific, the big mountain over in the distance outside." Marisa said, referring to Youkai mountain… not aware no one in the room had actually been there but her.
"Yeah… let's go with that. But we need a plan on how to deal with this." Patchouli said referring to the mist. "I say we wait for the oni to show up, and do the usual." Cirno said, hitting her fist into her palm.
"Cirno, the Oni are strong in their own right that a normal one could throw Meiling around like a balloon, and the four deva are the strongest of Oni." Patchouli pointed out, not fazing Cirno in the slightest.
"Then why don't we bring Flan along then, she could help." Cirno said, everyone else in the room going blank eyed at the suggestion. They wanted to stop the Oni… not blow her up. "I think we'll sit on that one as a last resort." Vaati coughed out, speaking for everyone.
"Well what else we got?" Meiling asked, everyone else wondering for a moment before having their own reactions. Vaati sneezed, Patchouli coughed a little bit and Marisa just plain shrugged. Meiling sighed as she got up from her seat and started walking away. "I'll going to check on Remilia, she needs to know what's going on with Sakuya." Meiling said as the others got down to trying to plan.
As Meiling exited the library a large amount of fairies flew past her, panicking. "It's always something." Running past the fairies and into the foyer. Expecting Flandre she blinked as she saw just who had entered to foyer.
In foyer, holding a fairy by the neck was a tall blonde girl, taller then Meiling herself, her hair went down to her back, and she was wearing a white short sleeved shirt, as well as a large blue skirt with red trimming. But what made Meiling reel back in shock was what was on her head. Prodding from her forehead… was a single large red horn.
"Oni…" Meiling muttered as the girl turned toward her, throwing her captive fairy at a wall, causing it to explode. "Hey, you seen Sukia anywhere? I heard she was around." The girl asked.
"Who's Sukia?" Meiling asked, sizing up the girl. Feeling a slight pang of jealousy as she noticed her breasts were just slightly larger then her own. "Short girl, two giant horns poking out of her head? Ring any bells?" The girl asked.
"She's an Oni right?" Meiling asked, connecting the dots, she wasn't as fast as Vaati, Patchouli or Marisa, but she wasn't stupid. "Yeah, seen her?" Meiling walked over to the door at the girl's question, noticing it had been punched straight off it's hinges, before pointing at the misty sky outside.
"Something tells me that she's got something to do with this mist, doesn't she?" Meiling asked. "Stop asking roundabout questions and tell me, or am I going to have to beat the answers out of you." The Oni said.
"I feel like this is karma for accidently hitting Vaati with Cirno." Meiling muttered. "Fine then, but before we fight, tell me your name." Meiling said, getting into a position that she would be able to best deflect and redirect blows from. "Name's Yuugi, and your in for a world of pain." Yuugi said as she pumped her fists by her side.
Omega E The Reader: Yuugi doesn't even show up in this game!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And it only gets worse from there.

BGM: [Touhou]- Yuugi's Theme: A Flower-Studded Sake Dish on Mt Ooe ~ 3ºRemix
Yuugi attacked first, swinging hard at Meiling, who ducked as kicked Yuugi's arm, gasping in shock as it didn't even budge. "Did you really think that would work against a Deva?" Yuugi asked, before kicking Meiling and sending her slamming into a wall, leaving a large indent as she fell out of it.
"Had enough?" Yuugi asked, slowly walking towards Meiling, who got up and back into positon. "It's my duty as gate keeper to keep intruders out. And you qualify." Meiling said, before gathering power into her fist and swinging it at Yuugi who just stood there and took it at the blow hit her face, actually making her head tilt a bit.
"Nice to see you're not all talk. This is gonna be fun." Yuugi said as she grabbed Meiling's arm, throwing her other her shoulder. Meiling put her legs behind her, landing on a wall hard enough for it to crack. Yuugi dashing at Meiling who jumped over the Oni.
Concentrating power into her fist Meiling Ran up behind Yuugi, who turned around and punched downwards and Meiling punch up, their fists meeting and a large shockwave that sent both Meiling and Yuugi flying. Meiling out the door, and Yuugi into the wall.
Getting up from the shockwave Meiling watched as Yuugi walked out the front door, cracking her neck and her knuckles while walking out into the garden. Meiling ran at Yuugi, about to punch her as Yuugi raised her arm to block, before slamming her foot down, and causing a shockwave on the ground that slightly shock Yuugi, before slamming her empowered fist straight into Yuugi's gut, sending her back a few feet.
Yuugi however responded by dashing at Meiling, slamming her fist into Meiling's gut and sending her fly, waiting for her to come back down before punching Meiling on the way down, sending her flying into the wall surrounding the mansion.
Meiling slowly pulled herself out of the wall, Yuugi walking slowly towards her. "Your pretty good, not many can say they've managed to make me flinch from a physical blow." Yuugi said as she walked up to Meiling, Pulling her out of the wall by her neck.
Meiling struggled for air as she put her hands to the one Yuugi was holding to her neck, trying to pull her hand off. "I'm going to ask you again, where is…" Yuugi didn't get to finish her sentence as a blast of water magic hit her from behind, causing her to drop Meiling, who gasped for air.
Floating in the air was Vaati, who was breathing hard from his sickness, coughing a bit as he floated there a few inches off the ground. "Kid, you just signed your death warrant." Yuugi said as she started walking towards Vaati, Meiling getting up behind her and gathering all the power she could into her fist.
BGM: Touhou Remix P.90 (Techno Rock) Shanghai Teahouse ~ Chinese Tea
"Sorry but he's suffered enough pain." Meiling said, Yuugi turning around as Meiling Slammed her fist into the ground, causing a large Rainbow colored shockwave to explode a few inches from Yuugi, lifting her off the ground a few inches.
And those inches were all Meiling needed as she transitioned from a punch to a kick, jumping up and slamming her foot into Yuugi with a explosion of power. The Oni being sent back a few feet as Vaati floated out of the way. Meiling running at Yuugi and slamming her foot down even harder then she had punched the ground, sending Yuugi up just high enough for Meiling to shoulder tackle her higher, before releasing all the pent up energy in her fist to slam the falling Yuugi in the head, the large rainbow shockwave going outwards and Yuugi flew even higher.
Yuugi was falling with a lot of force, But Meiling gathered the last of her power into her fist, Vaati floating next to her charging a spell of his own as Yuugi fell. Time seemed to slow as Meiling speed past the falling Yuugi, the oni hanging there for a moment as a rainbow light emitted from the point of Impact Meiling had made, Vaati blasting her with a moon spell, sending the Oni flying back into the mansion, and straight into a wall hard enough to leave an indent.
"Thanks for the save, but what are you doing here?" Meiling asked to Vaati. "Heard the explosions, I lost so I had to come check." Vaati coughed out as he fell to his knees, having used most of his magic to Blast Yuugi. "Easy there, don't want you to die on us." Meiling said, holding Vaati up as Yuugi pulled herself out of the wall, laughing as she walked out of the mansion to Vaati and Meiling.
Omega E The Reader: Do note that while Yuugi is a stage 3 boss she was actually holding back.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Unlike Meiling.
Omega E The Reader: So Meiling being able to stand a chance against Yuugi seems VERY impossible.
WildMath55: Yep. In my head-canon, H-Meiling is weaker than H-Yuugi, even after the power-up. It's H-Lie Meiling that actually managed to best the latter.

"No one's managed to do that in a long time, and their usually an oni, the magic was a cheap trick, but you only did two blasts." Yuugi said, complementing the two. "What's your names?" Yuugi asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"Meiling, and this sick guy right here is Vaati." Meiling said, Vaati wheezing a little bit in response. "Your sick and you managed to do that? Impressive." Yuugi said, dusting herself off. "Now then either of you know where Sukia is?"
"That's what I was trying to tell you, I think this mist might have something to do with her." Meiling said, Vaati coughing as he tried to ask his own question. "I'm sorry what?"
"Think about it, all these parties, the mist. Oni are heavy drinkers and partiers so what would one do if she could party all the time? Sukia must be controlling the mist, making everyone gather for these parties." Meiling said. Vaati staring at her in shock at what she had just said.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: You know what? I say one sin for every time Suika is misspelled as "Sukia".

"Nice guess… don't know why I didn't think of that, so now I have to go find her in this misty mess. Well, nice fighting ya, let's do it again sometime." Yuugi said, walking towards the gate before punching it off it's hinges and flying away.
"What… the heck… was that about?" Vaati asked, wheezing as Meiling shook her head. "I have got no idea, but I'm guessing that was one of the four devas, at least we know who our culprit is." Meiling said, lifting Vaati and carrying him back into the mansion, there was going to be hell to pay for this damage, at least it wasn't Meiling's fault.

Back in the forest of Magic Komachi groaned before getting up, hurting all over as she grabbed her scythe from next to her. Getting up she looked around, not seeing the half-ghost girl anywhere.
"Dam… a Konpaku would have been a nice catch, guess it wasn't her time." Komachi said, starting to walk as she nursed her injuries. She didn't get very far as she saw a pink haired girl floating in front of a tree, several spirits floating around her.
"Well I'll be dammed, Yuyuko Saigyouji, what the heck is she doing here." Komachi said as she walking up to Yuyuko, who was facing a tree and humming to herself. "Hey, Saigyouji." Komachi called, Yuyuko stopped humming and turned around, facing Komachi.
"Hello? Do I know you?" Yuyuko asked, playing dumb, not that Komachi knew. "It's me lady, the Sanzu ferrywoman." Komachi said. "O you're the lazy river lady." Yuyuko said, still acting dumb.
Komachi sweat dropped having not caught onto the act. "Enough of that, you have any idea what's causing this crazy mist? I've been getting word of it and all the parties that have been following it." Yuyuko tilted her head again to look at Komachi. "I was wondering about that, have you found anything?"
"Nothing really, all I've managed to to do so far is fight a Konpaku." 'And lose.' Komachi added in her mind bitterly. "O so you've meet Youmu? She's my gardener." Yuyuko said, Komachi look at her with an 'are you kidding me look'.
Komachi pointed behind her, her face puckering as she realized just why Yuyuko was here. That Konpaku girl must have blabbed that she was here, and now Yuyuko herself was here.
"I'm guessing you want a fight?" Komachi asked, getting into position. "A fight? Sure I haven't had one in months." Yuyuko said, Komachi dropping her scythe from it's ready position. 'just how crazy is she?' she asked her self in her head as Yuyuko floated over to across from Komachi.

Yuyuko started off by holding her hand out, a wall of butterfly danamaku forming form her palm that spread out towards Komachi. The injured Shimigami slashing at the wall of butterfly's cleaving just a large enough hole for her to jump though, landing on two feet as Yuyuko clapped at her performance.
"Your insulting me." Komachi complained. "Am I?" Yuyuko asked, tilting her head again. 'She does that A LOT.' Komachi thought as she ran at Yuyuko, the ghost princess letting out a few spirits from her palm that homed in on Komachi, not doing anything.
"Bye bye." Yuyuko waved, snapping her finger as the spirits went off, exploding and knocking Komachi out again. "That was a nice performance, little short though." Yuyuko said to no one in particular, looking at the tree again as a gap opened above it, Yukari floating out.
"She's still recovering from fighting Youmu, it's to be expected, even from a shimigami. But she's no where near as effective as my Shikigami." Yukari said, as both of them observed the knocked out ferrywoman.
"What should we do with her?" Yuyuko asked, Yukari grinning evilly at the thought of being able to mess with the Yama's main subordinate. "I have a few ideas." Yukari said.
Komachi would awaken a few hours later, hung from the Hakurei shrine by her own scythe, the metal part buried into the top gate of the shrine, herself hanging by her collar on the wood shaft of the scythe. And she would later discover all her coins had been taken after she got herself down, not happy at all with what had happened as she stomped to the Sanzu river. 'I try to help, it it get's my ass kicked, I'm out.' Komachi said in her mind as she walked to the river grumpy as all heck.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: BEATEN LIKE A JOKE TWICE IN A ROW?! Do you know who was the first foe Tenshi beat up in her story mode? It was YUYUKO!
Omega E The Reader: And just like that. It proves that Komachi is a wimp. Do note that shinigami are VERY strong with Komachi being the strongest so far.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: She was able to beat Tenshi when she was being serious! Both Youmu AND Yuyuko FAILED to beat her when she was serious!

Leave a review about what you think, I'm writing this and I'm like a kid in a candy store trying to find what's next.
