To BlazingEdge: The new Touhou game. So far we have three characters confirmed in the demo. Reimu, Marisa and...Kasen of all people.
The Other Promise (Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix)
I am so stupid, why am I flying to my arch enemy? I need to go back and forget about her! Mokou thought. But...WHY CAN'T I JUST LEAVE IT ALONE?!
Flashback
"Dad? Where are you going?" A young Mokou asked.
"Mokou, I'm a lonely man. I need to go out and find myself a wife. Wouldn't you like a mother?"
"Um, sure."
Her father chuckled. "I'll be back." He smiled. "I promise you."
A few days later...
There was a knock on Mokou's door. "Coming!" She exclaimed as she opened the door to see Mima. "Mima?"
"Um, listen..." She looked at her sadly. "This might be hard on you but...your father? He's dead."
Mokou's eyes widened. "Wh-WHAT?!"
Mima nodded. "It turns out, he wanted to marry Kaguya and she told him to do these five impossible requests. In the end...he died."
"No..." Mokou's fists clenched and tears ran down her eyes. "KAGUYA!" She screamed.
End Flashback
Mokou skidded to a halt on top of the Sprawling Savanna as she looked down to see a burnt Kaguya. I'm not surprised... She thought as she conjured up a fireball and looked straight at her.
Another flashback
"Hey, Kaguya!" Mokou walked over to her.
"Hmm?" Kaguya turned around, only to get socked in the face by her. "OW!"
"That was for my dad." She said. "Why...why did you do something so evil like that?"
"What are you talking about?"
"MY FATHER! HE DIED BECAUSE OF YOU!"
"Oh, your father. He was a cute man...but man; he was so idiotic to fall for my five impossible requests." She giggled. "Men are so easy to fool, it's quite amusing." She said, only to get punched in the face again.
"That does it...I am going to KILL YOU!"
Kaguya rubbed her face. "Ow..." She groaned, and then saw a knife coming out of Mokou's pocket. "Mokou...think about this for a moment, would you really kill me? I AM immortal after all."
"SHUT IT!" Mokou screamed and threw the knife right at her, forcing Kaguya to move out of the way but it impaled her shoulder, causing her to scream in agony.
"Are you out of your mind?!" Kaguya exclaimed, and then Mokou tackled her to the ground, punching her multiple times before removing the knife.
"For my father..." She said and then went to stab her, but someone stopped her and then threw her to the side.
Kaguya opened her eyes to see Eirin in front of her. "Thanks." She smiled as Eirin nodded with a smile.
Mokou got up, glaring at Kaguya. "One of these days..." She said as she walked away.
End flashback
Ever since I became immortal...we've been killing each other every day after that. She thought and aimed her hand at Kaguya. If the pool didn't finish her off...then this will.
"Is revenge really worth it?"
Flashback #3
"Of course it is. Kaguya is the reason my father is DEAD. She deserves all the pain she gets."
"Look, Mokou...I know you want to avenge your father and I understand. But do you really think it's worth it?"
Mokou turned her head. "Rosalina, I don't know why you're trying to talk me out of this."
She sighed. "You two are both immortal and you kill each other every single day. But the way I see it, it's pointless."
"It's not pointless! She deserves EVERYTHING I throw at her!"
"Mokou...she doesn't deserve it. Sure, she's the reason why your father is dead but as I see it, she has moved on and you didn't."
"What?"
"You see Kaguya as an enemy and every time you look at her, you see your father right?"
"Yeah..."
"And every time you fight her, you always bring up your father, right?"
"Right."
"Mokou, it seems to me that you haven't let it go. Every time I see you two fight, I sometimes look into Kaguya's eyes and they're saying 'just let it go, this isn't worth it'." She explained, as Mokou just looked at her. "If you let it go...who knows, you two might eventually become friends."
"Friends?" Mokou laughed. "Why would I ever be friends with HER?" She asked as she walked away. "Hmph, I can't be friends with someone who let my father die." She said and then walked away.
Rosalina sighed. "I hope you let it go someday." She said. "I'd really be happy if you two became friends."
End flashback
The fire extinguished from her hand. Was Rosalina on to something? She wondered and then looked at her own hand. Have I really not moved on from the past? She asked as she jumped down and landed on the ground.
Kaguya was still really weak and then noticed Mokou. Oh no...has she come back to finish me off?!
Mokou got a closer look at Kaguya. Did she really deserve all of that? She asked as she slowly walked to her. Rosalina was right...I haven't moved on...and I never did.
"St-stay back." Kaguya weakly said as she backed away slowly, but she fell on the ground and looked at Mokou getting closer to her. Oh no...this is it! She thought as she closed her eyes. However, she felt something as she opened her eyes to see Mokou hugging her. What...?
"Kaguya...i'm...sorry."
Kaguya's eyes widened. Did she just apologize or am I going crazy? "Y-you're...sorry?"
"I am." She nodded, not letting Kaguya see that tears were streaming down her cheeks. "Someone told me that I was still living in the past...and I never gotten over it." She said. "I'm sorry for...everything I've done to you!"
Oh my...she really did move on. She thought and then returned the hug. "Mokou, I'm sorry for letting your father die. I wanted to apologize ever since you nearly killed me...but I never got the chance to apologize since you never could let it go. I should've just accepted your father's proposal." She said and then rubbed her back. "Just let it out, it's no use hiding your tears."
Eirin and Reisen soon landed and then looked at the two in shock. "Wait a minute...are they hugging?" Eirin asked.
"Uh, did we stumble upon an alternate universe?" Reisen wondered.
Mokou and Kaguya parted from the hug and then they noticed the Lunarians. "Oh...uh..." Mokou pushed away Kaguya. "You didn't see this!"
Eirin giggled. "I've seen enough. It seems you're letting go of the past." She smiled. "That's enough for me to know what's going on." She said.
Oh hallefreakinlujah, I don't have to be in the crossfire anymore. Reisen sighed with relief.
"Hey Kaguya, do you want me to heal you right up?" Eirin asked.
"Yeah, that'd be nice." She nodded.
Back with the others...
World 5 Map (Super Mario 3D World)
"Well that was quite something..." Sora said.
"Mama mia...searchlights and kitty Bullet Bills." Luigi sighed. "Not to mention lava!"
"I'm glad we found that Golden Train." Captain Toad said.
"Yeah." Toadette nodded. "And that other place with the Boos."
"Well I'm glad that nightmare was over with." Reimu sighed.
"No kidding." Marisa said as she noticed Erza walking up to them. "And where have you been?"
"A Fire Bro hideout." She replied.
"We could've used your Adamantine shield!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Sorry?" Erza said as they kept on going until they got to some sort of clearing.
World 5-Clearing: Ridley's Return
"I'm picking up some sort of dangerous being coming in hot." FLUDD said.
"Well whatever it is, I'm sure we'll take this thing out." Marisa said and then they all heard a very familiar roar. "Oh you gotta be..." She muttered as a certain dragon landed in front of them. "Didn't Suika kill you back at the Keyblade Graveyard?!"
"It seems that there's just no end to killing Ridley." Reimu sighed.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to do it like old times." Marisa said.
Meta Ridley (Metroid Prime)
Ridley flew up in the air and then breathed fire at them, but Natsu got in the way and ate it all up. "Thanks for the snack, bird brain!"
"Technically, Ridley is a dragon." FLUDD corrected.
"Eh, whatever." Natsu said. "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" He yelled, but Ridley flew out of the way and tackled Natsu, then swung his tail at Marisa before she had a chance to attack.
"ICE MAKE: ARROW!" Gray yelled as he aimed the bow and arrow at Ridley and fired, but he dodged and breathed fire at him, but Erza went in her Flame Empress Armor to take the hit and then she jumped up to slash him down.
"OPEN! GATE OF THE SCORPION! SCORPIO!" Lucy yelled.
"Alright! Let's have some fun!" Scorpio exclaimed as he fired sand from his tail right at Ridley while he was getting up, and then getting sand in his eyes as he yelled in pain.
"It's just some sand, no need to be a crybaby about it!" Natsu exclaimed. "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" He yelled, but Ridley managed to whack him away with his tail, then breathing fire at Wendy, but she dodged.
"How is it that he can still attack?" Lucy asked.
"Samus once told me that Ridley has really good hearing and relies on his hearing in case if he ever manages to go blind for some reason." Mario replied.
"NOW YOU TELL US?!" Lucy yelled.
"Well, this just got a little more interesting." Scorpio said.
Meiling ran straight to Ridley and went for the tail, dodging Ridley's claws as she grabbed the tail and attempted to spin him around, but he flew up and then did a somersault to make Meiling fall back to the ground, and then knives surrounded Ridley and impaled him, making him roar in pain.
"That should do it." Sakuya said, but Ridley managed to keep going and breathed fire at the vampires, but they dodged as Flandre used Lavatein and Remilia using Gungnir, but he quickly dodged them.
"WATER SIGN: WATER CARPET!" Nitori yelled as she hit Ridley, but once Ridley realized it was water that was hitting him, he ducked down and allowed the water to rinse the sand out of his eyes. "Oh crap."
"THUNDER!" The Keyblade Wielders yelled but Ridley quickly dodged and then tackled all three of them.
"DIVINE ARTS: OMNIDIRECTIONAL DRAGON-SLAYING CIRCLE!" Reimu yelled, hitting Ridley but it still wasn't enough to take him down as he slashed her away with his claws and then dodged Youmu's attacks and swung his tail to knock her away.
Captain Toad and Toadette were pulling up stuff from the ground, hoping to find a pickaxe. "Mushroom, mushroom, golden mushroom...WHERE'S A FREAKING PICK AXE?!" He yelled.
Toadette pulled up a turnip. "This should do it!" She exclaimed and then threw it, but Ridley caught it and just looked at it before throwing it back at Toadette, easily knocking her out.
"I SURRENDER!" Captain Toad yelled.
Mario and Luigi were punching Ridley, but he faked a yawn and basically kicked them away...and then cried out in pain when Peach's frying pan met his foot. "Gotcha!" She smirked, but Ridley picked her up and threw her away as he breathed fire at her but Marisa flew and caught her.
Erza ran to him and slashed him several times, but Ridley jumped out of the way and then picked her up and then threw her down right on top of Natsu, Lucy and Scorpio. "Ow..." Lucy muttered.
"Get off of me! I want to destroy this dragon!"
"Mama mia...he's gotten stronger." Mario muttered.
"ILLUSION BOMB: MYOPIC FIREWORK!" A voice yelled.
"MIND OF GOD: OMOIKANE'S BRAIN!" Another yelled.
"DIVINE TREASURE: LIFE SPRING INFINITY!"
"HOURAI DOLL!"
Ridley roared in pain from the sudden four attacks as everyone looked to see Eirin, Reisen, Kaguya and Mokou. Kaguya was looking like her usual self...except she was still bald. "Leave this to us." Eirin said.
"Wait wait wait...Mokou and Kaguya are working together?" Sora asked.
"This will end badly..." Roxas said.
"Oh don't worry, we have this covered." Mokou said as the four of them flew straight to Ridley as he attempted to attack, but they all flew out of the way. "IMPERISHABLE SHOOTING!"
"DIVINE TREASURE: JEWELED BRANCH OF HOURAI –DREAMLIKE PARADISE-!" Kaguya yelled.
"SKILL CARD: ILLUSIONARY BLAST!" Reisen yelled.
"MEDICINE SIGN: GALAXY IN A POT!"
Ridley roared in pain from the attacks as he fell to the ground, but tried to get up. "It's over." Reisen said as she aimed her finger at his head and fired right at him, as it went right through him and just went limp.
World 5 Map
"You gotta be kidding me." Reimu blinked.
"I swear this is a dream..." Marisa said. "Honestly, Mokou and Kaguya not fighting anymore? THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!"
"Well you better get used to it." Mokou said as she walked away.
Reimu looked at Eirin. "Did you do something?"
"I didn't even lift a finger." She smiled as she walked away as well.
"THEN WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!" Reimu yelled as they kept on walking.
===================================================================================================
I debated whether to use Ridley or the three Thousand Year Door dragons for the World 5 boss. Ultimately, Ridley won.
And after seeing Anime-master's review, it got me thinking. I thought "Maybe this feud between the immortals is getting too much...I think they need to just forgive and forget, ya know?"
