Only 4 remained, they weren't bothered by their comrades being obliterated. They all had one job, to kill Reimu Hakurei.
The four greyed clockwork like soldiers flew at Reimu, Pikmin and her stood in awe and confusion as the 4 wasn't even phased by Reimu's power or rank within the Gensokyo social class system. Pikmin flew in front of Reimu, Reimu's eyes widening in shock as Pikmin's sword slashed through the closest to Reimu. No sound was heard as they disappeared.
But Pikmin was already too late.
STAB!
SPLASH!
"MY ARMS!" Reimu's scream pierced the silence of combat, the spear had impaled into both of her arms, blood spattered across the window where she stood behind. Pikmin threw his swords but out of the corner of his eye. He saw a parasol appear from the door. And then, hell broke loose.
The two figures turned and ran at the parasol wielding woman, and then, she wavered her hands over air, almost like she pulled invisible strings, and without warning, sword flew at the two, impaling them in all places before they fell to the floor, disappearing into nothingness.
Had Yukari just saved Pikmin?
Yukari walked to the barley awake Reimu, pushing Pikmin aside, through the corner of Pikmin's eye, she gave him a death stare.
"I see, I see." Yukari turned at Pikmin, pointing the purple parasol at Pikmin's neck, she smirked.
"You'd better explain your actions." Yukari, blunt and straight to the point. Pikmin felt the true terror of accusation run down his forehead.
"I was trying to explain to Reimu that an incident was beginning! And then she was attacked by 10 men! All spears!" Pikmin barley had time to react to his accusations.
"Where's your proof?" Yukari taunted Pikmin by looking around at the room. "I see no traces of corpses." She was purposely avoiding mentioning something.
"What about the two you unleashed with sword hell?!" Pikmin's tone of voice became more and more high pitched. "They disappeared as-well!"
"They did. But that doesn't explain the spears..." Pikmin looked at horror and the horrible revelation that spears were still there, two of them remained embedded in Reimu's arm, impaling her to the wall.
"B-but, there's no way I can hold spears, nor could I face Reim-" Yukari then shunted into Pikmin, knocking him to the floor.
"Liar!" Yukari's voice raised above her normal mischievous voice. "Today, you've killed at least 12 people!" Yukari kept pointing the parasol at him. The sudden anger change within Yukari was comparable to a mother losing a child.
"Ayayaya!" The unmistakable cry of the Tengu was heard as a swoosh sound was heard as trees and leaves fly into the open doorway.
And then, Yukari and her prisoner Pikmin walked out of the shrine, behind her laid the critically injured Reimu.
Pikmin then noticed something was off, even for Aya. She too held the dark smirk that belonged to Yukari back in the shrine building.
"Why do you hold the Black Winged Human?" Aya chirped at Yukari.
"He tried to kill Reimu, get medical help at once, transport her to Eirin." Yukari commanded as Aya passed her. A few seconds of mere silence and then, a scream uttered from the shrine and the flash of the camera showing the injured Reimu slumped against her bloody wall. Aya reappeared and took a picture of the imprisoned Pikmin.

"What shameful reporting." The person chuckled as he/she begins to sit down. The gender of the person before him remained a mystery to Pikmin.
"So, you are Pikmin?"
"Yes. But tell me, do you believe that I attempted to murder Reimu Hakurei?" Pikmin spoke weakly and the tired tone remained in his voice.
