Chapter 7: Yet Another Chapter

Time: 1302 Hour, 23rd of July, 2125

Location: [DATA EXPLUNGED]

"Now these Outsiders are doing just fine, as I expected. Hm hm hm..."

"Well, should I manipulate the boundary of difficulty to impede their progress?"

"No need for that yet, you say?"

"But where will the fun be in that?"

"You say you will rather watch quietly, hun?"

"I say I will make them get their ass kicked. HM HM HM..."

With that, a screen suddenly flares to life from the pitch blackness. Shown on the screen are the four superpowers of Gensokyo.

"Are you prepared to stop them when they come to you?"

"Anytime, with my army, Liberian and Chief Maid, fufufu..."

"Hope they're ready for spooks. Hm hm~"

"The Moon Defense Corps will be ready for anything..."

"Target acquired. Preparing for obliteration. Unyu..."

...

WildMath55 : I don't think the Lunarians will assist Gensokyo in this regard due to their obsession about purity and that means youkais and humans are considered impure. For canon's sake, a sin from me.

Sin Count: 63

Location: Headquarters of the Scarlet Devil Army, several meters from the main gate.

"The gate seems to be clear right now, other than a lone gatekeeper-in-green." LT's right hand man scanned the area.

"That gatekeeper will be no problem. The problem is all the soldiers and tanks inside." LT himself added.

"So, what should we do? Charge?" David asked.

"You bet you're right!"

...

"Ooh! China will be beaten awake. That'll teach her not to sleep on the job... Wait, that's exactly what I don't want. Besides, it looked like she was already wide awake."

Marisa was flying high above the ground, still trailing the Outsiders since they defeated Cirno.

"Never knew that Nine-Ball had a surname..."

A gust of wind suddenly flew past Marisa. The cause was easily recognizable as Gensokyo's resident red-and-white shrine maiden.

"Reimu, what are you doing here?" Marisa questioned Reimu's sudden appearance.

"Keep quiet! Yukari told me to stop them from getting their stuffs back, and after reading about the fights on the Bunbunmaru, I decided I'm better off with ambushes." Reimu explained.

"You think an ambush is going to work, ze? Rumia and Nine-Ball tried this and they both got killed once." Marisa reminded of the past battles.

"That's because they taunted before landing their attacks. You saw how fast that guy can react: way faster than any Gensokyan." Reimu finished as she slowly heads toward the ground and landing softly. Marisa followed.

Reimu had hand-signaled Marisa to stay absolutely quiet as she readies a spellcard. The spellcard has her throw the Ying-Yang Orb at the Outsider's group leader.

As the Orb flies toward the group leader, Reimu and Marisa was pretty sure they were going to nail him this time.

Until he suddenly turns around with his unusually long sword unsheathed, and knocked the Ying-Yang Orb away like a baseball.

"?!" Reimu and Marisa let out a shocked expression.

The group leader spoke...

"Nice try, bitches..." he said in a cold tone, while pointing the sharp tip of the sword at the duo.

Omega E The Reader: Is it even possible for him to hit back the yin-yang orb anyways?

Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: If you ask me. He shouldn't.

Lt Colonel Summers: It shouldn't have been possible, now that I looked back at it.

WildMath55: On my opinion, only someone with supernatural capabilities that can do that.

Sin Count: 64

...

"Nobody ambushes the Summers and lives to tell about it." LT told the two girls that has just ambushed him with an Orb. One is dressed in red-and-white and has detached sleeves, the other is dressed in black-and-white with a pointy black hat.

"Just like the others: emitting Magika, quite alive but no life sign." Right hand man had scanned the duo with his Scouter's Goggles.

WildMath55: Okay, one sin from me because Reimu and Marisa are clearly humans, so they should have life signs as well! It's just that Progenitor STI are such supremacist racists that they didn't even care about it in the slightest.

Sin Count: 65

"Did the SDA sent you?" LT interrogated the new foes. "I expect answers, miko and witch..."

"This is the answer!" The witch pulled out a hexagonal object. It took LT and his right hand man just one glance to tell what it does.

"Love Sign: Master..." The witch was cut-off mid-casting, by LT pulling out a Boomer and shooting the object. It's glass core shatters on impact.

"...Spark." The witch was horrified. And so is the Miko. "Fastest quick draw I've ever seen..."

LT, still pointing the still-smoking barrel of the Boomer at the witch, asked once more. "May I at least know your name?"

They remained silent...

"No? Well, then..." LT then turned to his right hand man, still pointing the gun at the captives. "...Search them."

The search turned up nothing other than the captive's wallets, which contained their ID Cards. Outdated ID Card designs. Strangely enough, the hexagonal object was completely ignored.

LT looked at the captive's ID, then tossed them back at the captives. "Thanks for the name, Ms Hakurei and Kirisame." He evilly thanked the captives as he points the Boomer upwards and...

...Presses the detonate button.

Omega E The Reader: Now HERE is an ass pull. Marisa's Mini-Hakkero should not have been destroyed as quickly as it was here.

Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And it's core is NOT made of glass! In fact, it's core is very likely to be made of the same metal as the SWORD OF KUSANAGI! By all means, it should be nigh-indestructible.

Omega E The Reader: I am going add TEN sins because of how this dumb moment.

Lt Colonel Summers: I wasn't aware the Mini-Hakkero has a piece of the Kusanagi in it. But now I do. Thanks for sinning this.

WildMath55: And here H-Marisa wonders why Blitzkrieg Marisa have fragile mini-Hakkeros... I'd say they don't even know about Kusanagi no Tsurugi.

Sin Count: 75

...

Marisa looked at where the group leader was aiming, but was pretty sure he wasn't going to fire the gun. "Yikes..."

"What's wrong?" Reimu whispered a question.

Marisa whispered back. "I've seen this bastard using this gun before. The bullets are not normal, ze."

"What about the bullets? Isn't that gun the same thing as the one used by Nitori and her girls, just more futuristic?"

"Exactly: futuristic. What else do you think they can improve on their techs, ze?"

Reimu was suddenly struck by a thought. "Improve..."

"Lemme' get this straight: the bullets..." Marisa was halfway through when the group leader pressed the button.

"...EXPLODES!" Marisa suddenly yelled as she tossed her Mini-Hakkero on the ground. It blew up in a bright explosion, throwing dust in the air. When the dust cleared, the Mini-Hakkero is sitting where it is, charred and it's core still smashed, but no new damage other than those...

...

"Dust, dust everywhere..." David commented on the situation.

LT turned to the group. "You people stand down - and I mean do absolutely nothing unless I say so - for now, these two only want me. They're probably working for this Y Yakumo."

The dust slowly clears up, but there was no sign of the attackers. "Radiation Scanner is still berserking. They're still around." LT looked around. "Pretty good..."

The scanner suddenly goes past the reading limit. "135%..." LT quickly unsheathed the Zantankuto and turn around, to knock away another projectile. This time like a golf ball, and it flies off toward the skies.

"I won't fall for the same trick twice. Nobody in the Summers family ever had!" He boasted. Then turned once again to swat another projectile away.

...

"Spellcard boost!" Reimu used a new type of spell that allows certain spellcards to be cast rapidly. But even with this and her most powerful spellcard to date, the Outsider just deflect every shot.

"Fantasy Sign: Fantasy Heaven!" Reimu casts another volley of the spellcard which involves the use of her Ying-Yang Orb. The Outsiders just deflects all of them like before.

In fact, said spellcard has never been deflected or blocked before...

"You want to know what this sword is made of?" The Outsider taunted, while deflecting another Ying-Yang Orb. The last one he deflected is sent right back to Reimu, knocking her down.

"How can... this... be? The sword... it should've... shattered..." Reimu muttered before falling unconscious.

Omega E The Reader:…I hate this scene. This is the WORST Ass Pull ever. Reimu's Fantasy Heaven is basically the canon version of Hax Sign: You Just Plain F***ing Lose. They can't deflect so many projectiles and they come in too fast, plus those orbs CAN'T be destroyed. I just…20 sins for this horrid way for Reimu to lose.

Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And it ALSO involves FLYING OUT OF REALITY! He shouldn't be able to hit her AT ALL!

Lt Colonel Summers: Some people could possibly beat Fantasy Heaven if they have the right kind of powers and knows what to do. But LT was not one of those people. 20 sins for this wanking-based Ass Pull, it is.

WildMath55: Yeah, and this... Hope you guys won't mind me bringing in my two strongest head canon characters here, since this is just very horrible.

Omega E The Reader, Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord, and Lt Colonel Summers: Wha-?!

Yasei Sugaku: Seriously, this is just sad. Let's go, Reimu!

H-Reimu Hakurei: On it, Yasei! Here's our Last Word!

*Both Yasei and Reimu then teleports somewhere and declares their Last Word, while a screen appears in the Author's realm.*

Yasei Sugaku: Final Fanfare "Armageddon Rampage"!

H-Reimu Hakurei: Spirit Realm "Fantasy Heaven"!

WildMath55: And that, folks, are the true strength of Last Word cards. Both Yasei-kun and H-Reimu has a stronger version as well. So, I'll add another 5 sins to complete the count. You two can go back now.

Sin Count: 100

...

"DENIED!" The boast was given by Edge in honor of LT, who easily deflected all the attacks cast by the Miko, Hakurei.

"Right, nobody messes with this Summers. In fact, nobody messes with the Summers!" Alice Lou boasted too, with the doll Shanghai clapping her hands while smiling.

LT quietly unsheathed the sword. There was no sign of the witch anywhere. "She ran so fast. Coward..." He then turns toward the group. "Let's go"

The Guards loaded their submachine guns and so did the Turks with their Boomers. The group then proceeds toward the red painted mansion.

...

Time: 1337 Hour; 23rd of July, 2125 (Outside World Time)

Location: Forest of Magic; Margatroid Residence.

SMACK!

Pichuun~

Marisa had crashed too hard into the door of Alice Margatroid's house, which resulted in the door being completely unhinged from it's sockets. Marisa was smacked against the window just across the room. Strangely enough, the window wasn't cracked despite the sheer force of the impact.

And over the table is a shocked puppeteer with her doll who is equally shocked hovering behind her.

"You still alive?" Alice Margatroid asked with a worry.

Marisa slides off the window onto the ground. She replies with a muffled "You could say that, ze. Ow..."

Alice Margatroid let out a sigh of relief. "Told you you can't defeat that guy. Not after we all read about his reputation from that article of the Outside World." Behind her, her doll face-palmed.

"I know, I know." Marisa climbed up and dusted the dusts off her dress. "Overconfidence runs in my blood, and I can't help it, ze." Looking at the doll behind Alice Margatroid, Marisa remembered something.

"Oh, yeah! One of the Outsiders has a doll familiar that looked exactly like Shanghai without fairy wings. The doll even has the exact same name! It seems to be autonomous, though..."

The word "Autonomous" and "doll" used together was able to draw the seven-colored puppeteer's attention.

"But that's probably the only Magic the Outsiders have with them. Only that Shanghai lookalike has it." Marisa added.

Alice Margatroid drew closer to Marisa. "Then can you please take me to their current location?"

"Sorry, ze. Probably not. They just went into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and me going there is like setting off a chain reaction. Besides, he just stopped Reimu's Fantasy Heaven spellcard with his swordsman skills. Wouldn't want to get caught by him, ze." Marisa replied.

Part of that sentence has already stunned Alice Margatroid. "H, h, he stopped... red-white's... godlike attack?"

Marisa's only reply to that is the word "Duh..."

Omega E The Reader: Okay Seriously? Alice should have come to help Marisa and Reimu defeat Lt and his crew. I mean she came with them earlier. Why can't she come now and use her grimoire to fight Lt and his crew?

Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: In fact, has she EVER used her Grimoire in the whole story?

WildMath55: One final sin to finish this chapter.
