(in which... ...)
"For my Savior."
Suddenly, all of the stones light up.
*Patchouli used Elemental Gauntlet!
The girl snapped her fingers.
BOAM!! Suddenly, the right half of the library burst up in magical blasts caused by the conflicting elements.
"Cautionary-"
"Cross-"
"Mirror-"
"-Barrier!"
"-Power!"
"-Plane!"
The triple defense barely guarded against the Gauntlet's power approaching from the right, only redirecting it several inches away from the barrier.
Within moments, the party jumps into action. Dances of lethal bullets emerge, while the Outsiders struggle to keep up with the attacks from all directions, both ally's and enemy's.
This is probably why the Spell Card rules are intended to be one on one.
"Catch!" Brad tossed several stars at Painter. "It's good stuff!"
Painter took a bite at the star-shaped candy. "Mm. _. My favourite flavor." He then got hit by several stars into his back.
T-Man seems to have problems getting on the offense more than trying to defend, most of the danmaku flying towards him cut in T-shapes and redirected.
"Agh!" T-Man fired off a bullet, but it quickly disperses into a T-shape and flied off elsewhere but.
Brad looked up, and around the library. "I~ don't think we can escape this one."
True to his words, the area is surrounded by a big impenetrable-looking barrier of rainbow colors.
FWOOSH!! Patchouli's attack flied off, the three outsiders barely grazing it. "Owowow..." Painter hissed.
Brad pointed his hanger to the sky, and spreads of rectangle danmaku fly across!
Patchouli's Elemental Gauntlet lights up a deep blue, and starts blasting water at the party of outsiders.
*Patchouli used Water Stone!
"Firewall!" Brad casted, a wall of fire rising between him and the attacking torrent of water.
Fwwssshhhh... The flames started dying down...
"You suck." Irma pointed out. "Chaos Root."
Just after the firewall is extinguished completely, innumerable roots shield the party from the water torrent.
"Son." Brad looked at the chaotic work done.
"The battle isn't over, it's not time to do the ratings!" T-Man scurried over at Patchouli, holding the shovel in front of him.
*Patchouli used Fire Stone!
"Ice Pillar!" Brad pointed the triple hanger at the predicted incoming attack.
FWOOM! A great big fat hurricane of fire pointed towards the shovel outsider-
KRING! A pillar of ice appeared between the opposing attacks.
BOOM BOOM PROO-KRANG! The ice pillar, receiving the attack in full force, breaks down immediately.
Vrrr~! A Master Spark went off in the distance, hitting the magician.
Fwoom-Fwoom-Fwoom!! Folllowed by several rings of rainbow yin-yang orbs that close in on her.
Sh-sh-shing! After then, a sphere of knives surround.
Wooosh! Finally, a black hole formed above and below her.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Kring! Woosh! Kring! Bam!
The magician's body falls down, receiving full damage from four spell cards in a row after a barrage of lethal bullets.
"Typhoon Carrier..." Brad muttered, the wind hanger for appearing by his side, floating and letting out a heavy aura.
Patchouli jumped back up, and blasted the ceiling of the library away with her Gauntlet.
"Fallen Comrade..." He continued, the two hangers now twirling around him in a circular motion.
Patchouli noticed Brad, but is distracted by the girls shooting more stuff at her.
"Dihydrogen Monoxide..." A water hanger flew up, adding to the conflicting aura around the outsider.
"You..!" Patchouli pointed her Elemental Gauntlet at Brad.
"..!" Marisa noticed the glove, and started flying towards Patchouli throwing out more stars.
"Flammenbügel..!" Brad's preparations are complete.
*Patchouli used Elemental Gauntlet!
The same blast of elements blow out to Brad. When he noticed, it was already too late..!
"Shiiee-" Brad could only say so much before closing his eyes, waiting for his demise.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!
At the moment he opened his eyes, he notices the attack being blocked by a certain person.
*...But Marisa takes the attack!
*Marisa took 99999 Damage!
The witch smiled at the magician. "Y-you know, Patchy... That glove looks soooo e-expensive..."
"...A shame if someone were to erase it." She finished, taking out a black-and-green device. "Haha, sorry-ze... I-I don't really... feel good right now..." She activated the device.
*Marisa used The Great Mima's Cosmic Hyperseal!
*Elemental Gauntlet is sealed!
Right after that, she flopped to the ground, not having enough power to even stand up.
"MARISA!!!" Reimu shouted, rushing over to the fallen witch.
Painter looked in shock, while Medic lowered his head.
Even Patchouli looked a little bit fazed, but didn't do anything else.
Marisa's form suddenly lights up in a flash of light, and slowly got brighter and brighter...
...in a blast of dazzling rainbows, Brad could only imagine he is near the Sanzu. The River on his right only adds to this.
However, what he didn't imagine is that, there is a lone girl in front of him.
Marisa smiles at him. Her witch hat is not on, letting her blonde hair flow around in the wind. "...Hello again, Brad."
He looked at her in confusion. "Wait, why the frik am I at the side of the Sanzu? Am I dead? Are we all dead by that Infinity Gauntlet ripoff!?"
Marisa giggled. "My, you look good like that. But you're very very wrong."
A certain woman with a scythe came to the two on a wooden boat. "Alright, how the fuck are you dead."
The young witch looked at Brad. "I believe that they will win. Please, make it true, Brad. That is my farewell to Gensokyo... for now! I'll get back later, I just know it-ze!"
He smiled back reluctantly. "Yeah, yo... Be seeing you..."
She stepped up to the boat, and drifted off. "Make sure you beat up Patchouli real good-ze!!"
Brad blinked, and suddenly he's in the library again.
Reimu is crying. Painter is sulking. Medic just have his head down.
"..." Brad looked at Patchouli, then at the four hangers he summoned.
Then, he walked up to Patchouli. "For my friend who have fallen.
She walked up to him. "For my savior."
"Quadruple Hanga!!" "Philosopher's Stone!"
