BGM: Scorching, Troublesome Divine Flame | Touhou Scarlet Curiosity Extended OST
The Demons are trying to use the Underground as a means to reach the Surface. Since Former Hell is connected to Hell, the demons were invading in droves. But this meant that they were dying in droves as well.
"Unyu!" Utsuho shouted as she was pointing her third leg at the oncoming horde before it fired a big flaming orb that hit the center of the group of imps, possessed soldiers, zombies, Hell Knights, and Arachnotrons. The projectiles blew up in a mushroom cloud that incinerated them all.
She then nuked the demons further ahead. That at the very least killed most of them.
"Coming through, I have some demons to kill!" Yuugi shouted as she easily ripped a group of cannon fodder demons to shreds. An Arachnotron and a Mancubus tried to rush her down, but she punched them both, reducing them to chunks of flesh and blood like it was nothing.
Essentially Utsuho was the heavy-duty artillery when it comes to blasting away at the demons while Yuugi was the muscles kn terms of how to deal with their enemies ripping or punching them to shreds.
Satori was there, leading the attack with Orin by her side. Koishi was also there, cutting up demons with her knife.
Satori helped out by shooting out her danmaku back at her opponents but she mostly used the traumas of the demons to kill them. Interestingly, it wasn't danmaku bullets or the attacks of powerful beings that she found, but just the Slayer and his many guns.
"A human? You fear a human?" Satori wondered as she was curious why they feared such a man.
"I don't know why, Lady Satori, but at least it works!" Orin said as she was busy summoning evil spirits which fired a lot of bullets into the crowd of demons, turning them into demonic Swiss Cheese. Though the demons were firing back, so Orin couldn't afford to stand still.
Koishi, meanwhile, was killing all sorts of demons without being attacked or actually seen. She was even able to rip out the throat of a Hell Knight before the latter could even realize she was there.
As the fight raged on two Super Heavy Demons showed up. An Armored Marauder and a Smashing Marauder.
The Armored Marauder appeared to be a Marauder fully armored from head to toe while wielding a big Argent blade in one hand. He held a heavy revolver in his other hand.
The Smashing Marauder held a red Sentinel Warhammer similar to Valen's and wore a gladiatorial-looking helmet with an emblem similar to a hammer on the right pauldron. This one also had a smaller-looking version of the Ballista on his back.
"Uh oh," Satori said.
"So these are the fools who wish to prevent the will of the Khan Maykr?" the Armored Marauder asked as his helmet's eyes glowed red
Satori had a drop of sweat with Orin.
"You will pay for your insolence, with your lives," Armored Marauder said as he raised his big Argent blade before charging at Orin and Satori.
He quickly slashed at them, aiming for their necks, but the two flew back and began to shoot at him. The Armored Marauder laughed at their bullets harmlessly bouncing off his armor. Then he pulled out his massive revolver and shot six rounds at them, which they evaded.
Meanwhile, the Smashing Marauder went on a smashing spree, crushing all fairies who were present and even killed an oni or two, reducing one to a smear and fatally smashing another's spine and skull. Before he could kill another oni, Yuugi showed up and tried to punch him in the chest, but he jumped back before her fist could land.
"Oi, those were my drinking buddies! You'll pay for this!" Yuugi yelled as she leaped at him. She leaped so hard that she shattered the ground. The Marauder raised his Argent Shield which tanked the punch, but the punch was strong enough to push him back. In response, he summoned a big wolf that Yuugi shot at, but the beast endured the point-blank shot, so she simply punched the floor and grabbed a huge rock before throwing it at the wolf, crushing the beast.
As this was occurring, Utsuho kept raining death and destruction down on the demons.
She was currently facing down twin Barons of Hell which were currently trying to rush her down. With some help from two Dread Knights.
However, she decided to use one of her more devastating moves.
"Abyssal Nova!" Utsuho said as she began to increase the circulation of nuclear energy in her body. As the demons got close to her and one of the barons within punching range, Okuu then turned into a scorching sun which immediately burned down all the demons nearby. The twin Dread knights were disintegrated on the spot while the Baron of Hell in front of her was reduced to a scorched-up corpse with more bones than meat.
Eventually, she turned back to normal. The Dread Knights were nothing but ashes and the Baron of Hell, now a scorched skeleton fell over dead before turning to dust. The second Baron of Hell made it out alive but not okay. Its right hand was burnt off completely while the front portion of its body had a multitude of third-degree burns that went down to the bone.
Before it could do anything, Koishi showed up and removed its head from its shoulder body. The exposed neck bones certainly helped the mindless satori.
"I got a present!" Koishi said as she raised the head happily.
"Unyu?" Utsuho said as she tilted her head.
"Now let's help Big Sis! And maybe that oni, too!" Koishi said as she flew in the direction of the fight against the two Marauders.
"Sure!" Utsuho said as she followed her younger owner.
Back with Satori & Orin…
The Armored Marauder was easily killing the zombie fairies like it was nothing, chopping them to bits with his big argent sword and making them pop with his revolver. He also summoned some very fast wolves, however they weren't as resilient as the Smashing Marauder's wolf.
"Recollection: Super Shotgun!" Satori said as she summoned a copy of the Slayer wielding the Super Shotgun by awakening and summoning the trauma of the Super Heavy Demon.
The trauma Slayer proceeded to charge at the Armored Marauder who immediately put up his shield, but then he was hit in the back of the head with a knife.
The Armored Marauder went to see who it was, but found no one, and was awarded by the Super Shotgun being shot point blank in his back, chipping the back part of his armor.
The mysterious person, who was Koishi, appeared and fired heart bullets into his chest, only very slightly chipping the front part of his armor. And then was bombarded from behind by Orin's zombie fairies and Satori's bullets along with the trauma Slayer and his Super Shotgun.
Back with, Yuugi she was able to deflect her foe's hits with her bare hands as if it was nothing. He then attempted to smash the ground to stun her, but she then stomped on the ground, causing a rock to jut out, which actually hit the Smashing Marauder in the face. It destroyed his helmet and poked him in the eye. Pissed off, he glared at the oni before pulling out his Mini-Ballista and aimed for her head, but she grabbed the bolt in the air. "Nice try, big guy!" Yuugi said before charging at him with the bolt still in hand.
Just as the Marauder was about to shoot again, Utsuho appeared and fired a beam of heat toward the Smashing Marauder, hitting the Mini-Ballista, which destroyed it. Pissed off at the sight of his destroyed weapon, he went to engage the Raven in melee.
As he was about to jump, Yuugi screamed "OI, DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME!" at him before stabbing him in the shoulder with the Ballista bolt she still held, which instantly threw off his trajectory and left him with his own bolt in the shoulder, which she jammed with enough force to break his shoulder bones.
He fell onto the ground.
"Unyu?" Okuu said as she then raised her third leg and shot a small flaming explosive sun, taking out half of the Marauder's body and both of his arms. Despite this, the Smashing Marauder got right back up with his hammer between his teeth and leaped in Yuugi's direction.
However, the former Deva just punched him hard enough to obliterate his whole body.
"And stay dead!" Yuugi shouted with a grin.
"I want to help my masters, now," Utsuho said as she flew towards the Komeiji Sisters.
"Sure we can do that," Yuugi said as she followed. "After you, birdie."
Back with Satori, Koishi, and Orin, they were still busy with the Armored Marauder who was barely even affected by the attacks. He almost bisected Orin at one point if it hadn't been for a zombie fairy pushing the cat out of the way and taking the hit for her.
"Throwing your lives away because you can return. When you return, I will present the remains of the animal whose demise you merely delayed," The Marauder said before aiming Orin with his revolver.
"Or maybe I should go for the one you neglected to protect," He added before aiming at Satori.
As a result, Koishi tried to attack him more furiously with her knife, heart-shaped bullets, and tendrils, but the Super Heavy Demon was still unaffected.
"Fools, my armor is beyond mortal strength!" The Armored Marauder said. "None of you have the might to-" As he was boasting, Yuugi then showed up and punched his chest plate, which immediately broke apart. "What?!"
"Mortal strength? Sorry pal, but my strength is beyond mortality!" Yuugi said as Koishi and Satori to shoot their bullets at the exposed chest.
Pissed at this, the Armored Marauder pulled out his revolver and fired bullets at Yuugi and Koishi. However, the latter simply disappeared from his subconscious while Yuugi just grabbed the bullets with her bare hand.
"Recollection: BFG!" Satori said as she summoned another version of the Trauma Slayer, but this one held the BFG itself.
As the Armored Marauder went to slash at Yuugi who simply deflected his strikes with the back of her hand. Throughout this battle, Yuugi was actually still holding onto her plate while drinking some sake.
As he was distracted, Utsuho showed up behind him and fired a beam of heat into his back, which left a burnt hole.
"You made your last mistake, bird!" The Marauder said as he pulled out his revolver and took aim.
Yuugi was about to intervene when she noticed something glowing behind her and moved out of the way.
As the Super Heavy Demon was about to pull the trigger, he was then shot by the BFG of the Trauma Slayer. It hit him full force right where his chest plate was smashed. The blast completely annihilated everything above the belt, leaving only his legs and pelvic section, which fell on his knees and collapsed.

"Well, that was something…" Yuugi said.
"Yeah, that was harder than expected…" Orin said. "I almost got cut in half earlier if it wasn't for my zombie fairies and Lady Satori.
The Trauma Slayer wielding the super shotgun & the other one with the BFG both disappeared.
"So cool…" Koishi said. "I wonder who he was?"
"Unyu…" Utsuho said with a quizzical expression.
"Now then, want a drink?" Yuugi asked as she held up her sake bowl that never spilled nor was destroyed.
"Sure!" Utsuho said as the two girls went to drink.
"I need one after all this demon killing," Orin said as she followed the duo.
Satori thought: 'I do wonder how they fear one man...'
"I like drinks!" Koishi said as she followed after her two pets plus the oni.
-Back with Suika-
BGM: Simple Minded, Bothersome and Great Youkai | Touhou Scarlet Curiosity Extended OST
"Oof!" Suika was punched in the face by the Titan who then tried to go for an uppercut, but she shrunk down to avoid it. The demon was wondering where she went but it was immediately uppercut it as Suika regrew mid-punch.
The demon was left dazed by this attack. Suika then punched the demon in the face so hard that one of its horns broke off. Pissed off, the demon then roared before grabbing onto Suika and trying to bite down on her neck in an attempt to rip out her throat with its jaw. However, Suika grabbed him by the jaws and pushed him back so hard it dislocated.
As the Titan was reassembling its jaw, the big oni then grabbed the Titan before jumping up and then throwing the Titan on the ground. As soon as it was on the ground the former Deva formed a big fireball that she threw at the demon's chest, burning it so badly it exposed its rib cage.
The Titan roared in pain as Suika landed on the ground. The demon got back up and tried to ram at Suika, but she turned to mist just as it was about to make contact. The demon furiously tried to punch the mist to no avail.
Then Suika reformed right above the Titan and slammed both her fists down onto the Titan's head. This cracked the skull of the Titan and it roared in pain.
The Titan in pain then uppercut Suika which sent her in the air and then onto the ground. As soon as she was on the ground, it tried to step on her but she just turned into mist once more.
The Titan growled, looking for the oni. She then showed up right in front of him before punching him in the face. Then she grabbed onto the right arm of the Titan. Before beginning to pull as hard as she could on it.
There were the sounds of the tearing of flesh and of the breaking of bone as Suika proceeded to rip out the entire arm of the Titan, causing it to howl in pain. Then she proceeded to hit the Titan on the head with its arm so hard that it actually broke both in half completely.
This exposed the smashed skull and the brain of the Titan. Despite this, it was still alive and just pissed off that the oni did this. It roared as it went to punch Suika.
"OW! Do you even die, big guy?" Suika asked as she shoved the broken arm into the demon's mouth in retaliation to the punch before punching it in the chest hard enough to knock it down. She then tried a move she once read in one of Kourindou's books and elbow-dropped the downed demon.
With the demon pinned down, Reisen knew what to do. She was waiting for the most opportune moment to strike and with the brain exposed and the Titan unable to get up, now was the best time to attack. So the moon rabbit activated that sword Eirin gave her, went in, and stabbed the Titan in the brain with the weapon.
As soon as Reisen stabbed the sword into its brain she then did what Eirin told her to do and snapped the handle off. As soon as she did so, the blade was seemingly permanently lodged into the Titan's brain and it seemed to briefly glow blue, a blue glow that spread all over the Titan as it stopped moving.

"According to Master, it means that it worked," Reisen said.
The Titan was inert and unmoving.
"So that's why you were watching. That's kind of cowardly of Eirin to send her rabbit to cheap shot big demons like that," Suika said. "Shame, I wanted to see if it could live without its head."
"Master said that this was LITERALLY the only way to put a Titan down for good," Reisen said.
"Really?" Suika asked.
"Really. Literally, nothing else can kill a Titan. It's almost like a Hourai Immortal," Reisen said.
"Oh. I see…" Suika said. "And here I thought I'd get an outcome more my style…"
She sighed.
"If there's any consolation price, then there are more demons out and about that, you can help take out," Reisen said.
"Oh well. At least I get to kill some more demons!" Suika said as she went back to being happy, taking a gulp out of her sake gourd. "Let's go!"
The two then left to exterminate the last remaining demons plaguing Gensokyo.
A/N: Now then, the next chapter will wrap up the Hell Invasion of Gensokyo. But most importantly, we get to see some new demons make their appearance. I can finally get to an important part of this story that may change the universe for the Touhou verse in Argent Fantasy. I won't reveal it yet but it will be HUGE.
Those new demons are the Smashing Marauder & Armored Marauder, both of whom are powerful and tough and are here to flesh out the Marauders as a group of Super Heavy Demons.
