Chapter 12: (insert pun for a title here)
[AN]: WARNING! The following content contains dialogue from a psychotic, almost on tourettes level swearing person, who is based on an actual person that shares his dirty mouth. All character thoughts will now be "Italicized and in parenthesis." I hope this makes the story easier to read. Sorry about the long wait. Motivation was down due to a lack of reviews. Seriously! Only two people reviewed my last chapter. I can't write better if you don't tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you reviewer #32 (it was not signed) you told me I was lacking in description. Well, I thought so to, and I was already starting on fixing that. Anyway, back to the point. I'll try to get the next chapter out faster. {Especially since this one ends with a cliffhanger.} Thank you to the people that follow this story. Even your little "hahaha", and "lol", and "I was rofling" reviews help. It shows me you enjoyed the story. Please enjoy this chapter too. Happy late Thanksgiving!
BTW, I just wanted to give a small shout-out to the radioactive arbiter and his touhou fic. It's really creative, and is being seriously underrated. I suggest you check it out. you can find it at:

Underground cave entrance, mid-day
Matt's POV
As I was soldering various components onto a breadboard, I was thinking about what Yukari told me. Her words replayed over and over again in my mind. "I also am the reason you even exist. How do you think the magic and soul that give you life got there in the first place?" I noticed that while I was thinking, I stopped paying attention to what I was doing, and the melted metal was starting to drip all over my right arm. "Awwww, hell!" I tried to shake the metal off, but it was no use. I finally gave up, and decided to wait for the metal to dry so I could scrape it off.
"It's a real pain in the ass isn't it?" A voice behind me said.
I turned around to see Dan leaning against the side of my RV. "When did you get here?" I asked with some surprise in my voice.
Dan stood up straight, and cracked his neck. "I just got here. Its really fucking nice to do something like that for Maria, but I just have to question, why would you do something for someone without getting anything in return?" He asked as he approached my temporary workbench.
I froze in disbelief, "Is he completely heartless?" I thought while Dan silently waited for me to respond. His red-turned eyes glowed in the dim light of the cave, while the only thing that disrupted the silence was the sound of small fairies fluttering their wings, and an oni party down at the village. "Ummm… You just… Well… You know… Because it's the nice thing to do." I finally decided on my words.
Dan stood still for awhile. A couple small fairies had gathered to watch the scene unfold. "But why the fuck would you want to do the nicer thing in the first place?" Dan asked in a strangely calm way.
"Ok, you have officially been demoted from 'heartless', to 'soulless'." I thought. I could feel the muscles and actuators in my face maintaining my face of disbelief. "Well… That's just who I am." I said with some resolve in my voice.
Dan frowned and sighed. "You need to learn to be more decisive. Learn to stab people in the back, because what they say is true. Nice guys finish fucking last." Dan said walking away. He seemed to be ticked about something.
"Man… What a prick!" I thought to myself as I scraped the dried metal off my mechanical arm. "It still unnerves me that Yukari knows about my origins and the fact that she was the one who essentially gave me life… Wait!... Does that make Yukari my mother!" I shuddered at the thought. "I hope she never reaches the same conclusion…" I finished up my project, and started packing my workshop up. It was just a small collapsible table with drawers for various parts and tools.
*BOOM!*
I heard an explosion coming from the other side of my house. "Flan! I thought I told her not to play roughly with other people." I shoved the table back into a storage compartment under the LT, and rushed around to the other side of the vehicle to investigate. What I saw contradicted what I had previously believed.
"Oh! It's Matt, Hey Matt!" Flandre said while waving at me. I gave a shy wave back, but I was more focused on who she was with. It appeared to be another cat youkai. Either that, or Maria changed her eye color to red, found a dark green dress to replace her blue and white one, dyed her hair red, cut off her tails, and found a wheelbarrow.
I stared at the cat for five seconds, while the wind howled through the crevices in the cave. I decided to be the first to break the ice. "So… What's your name?" I asked her.
The cat immediately grinned, threw her wheelbarrow aside, and fist-pumped in the air. "My name is Rin Kaenbyou! It is my job to collect corpses and dump them straight into the fires of hell!" She said with fire in her eyes and plenty of energy in her voice.
Damn… If only Rumia could be that energetic. I thought about what I had just thought about in greater detail. No… actually, that would be pretty bad. I shivered at the thought of Rumia pestering me on a road trip.
Rin ran and did a double summersault, landing 1 foot away from me and sticking her face in mine. As she violated my personal space, she asked. "So… what's your name?"
"I-I-I… Matthew. I am-
"Boring!" I was interrupted by Rin as she dashed away to pick up her wheelbarrow. "Well, I have lots of work to do. Drop by the palace of the earth spirits if you ever want to pay me a visit. See ya!" And with that, she dashed off in a cloud of dust.
Damn, she could put Olympic track-runners to shame.
I turned around to face Flan, but instead, I found Rumia violating my personal space just like Rin did.
…
…
"Rumia, can I help you?" I asked while pushing her a couple feet back.
"Why don't you hang out with me anymore?" She asked while seeming a little sad.
I paused. "RED ALERT! RED ALERT! WE'RE TAKING ON WATER!" I thought about the sensitive question, and formulated a reply. "Well Rumia… There are just a couple things you need to work on."
Rumia backed away from me and gave me some space. She put her hands behind her back, and twirled her right foot around like a drill that was alternating directions with a sensitive-looking expression plastered onto her face. "Liiiiiiiikee~~?" The shadow girl asked in a long, drawn out tone.
"Should I tell her?" I thought while violently scratching the back of my head. "Yeah, I probably should." I inhaled deeply, and then sighed. "Well Rumia… It's just kinda hard to be around you and you… Well… Ummm… Well, you see, you really stink." I said with some unsure-ness in my voice.
Rumia stopped twirling her foot, and her face changed to one of pure shock. She stood motionless for a couple seconds.
…
"Really, you reek!" I said while waving my hand in the air to vent the smell.
…
…
Tears started forming in the corners of Rumia's eyes. "*Sniff sniff*" Rumia began to cry. Streaks of crystal tears began running down her rosy cheeks, and in an instant, she ran away from the scene; bawling her eyes out. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"ABANDON SHIP! ABANDON SHIP!" I looked sown at the ground, and then back at Rumia who slammed the door of the Land Train shut.
*SLAM!*
…
"Well that could've gone better." I muttered under my breath.
Flan peeked out from the roof of the railless train, and said "Wow, you sure have a way with women." She said sarcastically.
I looked up at the little loli vampire, and frowned. "Well, someone had to tell her, and no one else was doing it." I said with my fists balled. I was angry at myself. No, I wasn't angry, I was pissed… UBER PISSED!
Flandre was lying on her stomach while resting her head on her palms, and kicking her legs. "Well you should've been a little gentler. After all, she was a wild youkai before you met her." Flandre said with that face I thought only Yukari could make. "She's bound to be sensitive; because this is her first relationship."
My cheeks turned red. Redder than even the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I raised my fist at her, and shook it while saying "W-W-W-W-WH-WHAT! There's no relationship between us! She's just my friend!" I said completely taken off guard by her statement, and Flandre knew it. She smirked.
Flandre rolled over on her back, and in a sing-song voice, she said "Ahhh~! Well judging from your~ reaction~, I'd say this is your first relationship too~~." Her head was bent backwards so it hung off the side of the hulking vehicle; exposing her pale white neck. She seemed to be amused at my stuttering and panic. "Oh stop it! Don't deny it! All the viewers know there is something going on~!" She said with her eyes closed.
"Wait, what viewers? Who's watching me?" I said with even more panic.
Flandre rolled back over, pushed herself up, and dusted off her clothes. "Oh, you can't see them silly. They're in a far off universe. Just forget I said anything." Flan said with a childish smirk.
"But… Oh, whatever." I thought while mentally rolling my eyes.
Flandre jumped down from the roof, and hovered just slightly above the ground. Her wings glowed with the colors of a rainbow, and she slowly bobbed up and down. "Well, I may not look to be it, but I'm 495 years old. During my life, I've learned a thing or two about relationships." She said while maintaining her altitude.
My blushed cheeks had returned to their normal, pale color, and for the second time while talking to a girl today, I scratched the back of my head. "Well' I don't-
Flandre interrupted me purely by over-talking me. "PLUS!... I'm a girl. I'm sure that'll help." She said with confidence.
"You ain't gonna leave me alone till I say yes, ain't you." I thought in a southern accent. "Ok, fine! I've got nothing better to do anyway." I said while shrugging. "Might as well."
"Excellent!" Flandre said; with a tone of voice that strongly resembled Mr. Burns from the Simpsons while he was scheming.
Inside the Land Train
Rumia's POV
"Why would Matt say something so mean?" I thought while crying on Matt's and my bed. My tears had started to dry up. "I just wanted him to hang out with me." I said while taking my head out of the damp pillow I was clutching.
Suddenly, the door to Matt's room burst open, and standing in the doorway, was Dan. Holding a knife that reflected the electronic candle's special light into my eyes. I grasped my legs, and started crying harder.
"Who's fucking hungry!" Dan asked as he approached me. I looked up as him to see the insane man dressed in an apron, and what I thought was a knife, was actually a spatula.
"WHAAAAAAAH~!" I started crying again.
Dan's smile disappeared, and he sat down next to me; trying his best to comfort me. (Dan's form of comforting is too violent to describe, so I'm going to skip ahead to the important part.) "Ok, What's wrong then?" Dan said, while sounding a little irritated.
"*Sob, sob* I-I-I-I. Matt said something mean to me! He doesn't like me anymore." I said through my cries. My sobs of misery echoed throughout the whole house… Train… Mobile… Moving…. Thingy.
Dan perked right up. "Ahhh, that! I heard the whole thing. He doesn't hate you; he's just giving you some advice… And he's right." Dan said while waving his hand in the same motion Matt did. I was about to say something, but Dan continued. "You just need to take a bath, and work on some of your personality kinks." The killer said with an unusual amount of kindness in his voice. "I guess I could help you…"
"Why is he helping me? I thought Dan was just a violent asshole… whatever that is." I thought
Before I could even say anything, Dan piped up again. "If you're wondering why I'm being so nice to you, it's because of some advice Matt gave me. He said I have to be nicer." Dan said, while quivering at the word, 'nicer'. "Now come on, I've made dinner for us all." Dan said in the unusually cheery, and somewhat creepy, voice again.
I forgot all about my sadness, and rushed into the kitchen where Matt, Flandre, and Maria were already seated. Dan took the booth seat next to Flandre, and Maria was sitting at the end of the table; leaving the only available seat, next to Matthew. I sat down, and Dan pulled the top off a platter to reveal some kind of meat, wedged in-between bread.
Matt's smile grew wide as he said "Oh boy! I haven't had a hamburger since I got here!" He said with more energy than Flandre.
"Actually, I haven't seen you eat since we ate at Mystia's fish stand… Or… I can't remember what they are called." I tried to remember what the name of the food Mystia served was.
Throughout dinner, me and Matt avoided each other's eyes, and ate with satisfaction. Flandre seemed to give Matt instructions when he did something that Flandre and Dan called 'impolite'. Dan was doing the same for me, except he would bop me on the head with a wooden spoon every time I got it wrong.
At the end of dinner, someone knocked at the door, and Matt got up to answer it. Maria went to mine and Matt's bedroom, probably to play those things they call video games, and Dan cleaned up the dishes. "Well shoot. I don't have anything to do now."
As soon as I finished that last thought, Matt walked in with the same cat girl from earlier today. I thought her name was Bin. She had a look of urgency in her face, and looked like she would have a panic-attack any second. "You've gotta help! *Pant* the leader of the underground! *Wheeze* has been kidnapped!" Bin said as she used Matt's shoulder for support.
Matt frowned and said "Apparently, they were anticipating an attack from the front, but Gunethre tunneled into the back door, and invaded the palace from the inside out. The reason we aren't hearing the sounds of oni parties anymore, is because all of the villagers are fighting off Gunethre's troops."
"Uhhh, what's a troop?" I thought to myself. The thought echoed through my carefree mind, and eventually surfaced as a question. "Excuse me, Matt?"
Matt turned his gaze away from the group, and directed it toward me. "Yes Rumia, What is it?" Matt asked with a feeling I couldn't quite place in his voice. I thought it was a mixture of hope, and happiness.
I pulled at my collar, and asked my question. It felt like Matt's eyes were staring into my very being; judging my every thought and action. "Well, uhhh…" I twiddled my fingers together. "Uhhh… Please excuse me, I need to wash up!" I said very quickly, and rushed to the bathroom.
Matt's POV
"Ok… what was that all about?" I was a little puzzled with Rumia's behavior, and also disappointed because she seemed scared of my judgment. "Ooooookay~…" I said while slowly turning my head back to the group. Rin had calmed down now, and was standing quietly just like everyone else. "You know what? Let's all have a seat!" I said as I pulled up the sleeve pf my coat to reveal the rest of my arm. On a metal box near my wrist, several buttons were arrayed in a neat order. The box went through my arm, and on the other side, was a slot facing my palm. I pressed a button on the box, and the side of the RV expanded, and couches unfolded from the ground. Basically, the room looked like any other western style middle class living room. Everyone took a seat, and they seemed surprised by how comfortable they were.
"Ooooh! These are so comfy Matt; we need to get some of these at the palace." Rin said as she flopped down on the couch. Even though they were comfy, the squeaky springs were loud enough to penetrate anyone's eardrums in the LT.
I smiled as I took a seat across from Rin. "Glad you like them Miss Kaenbyou." I said politely. Flandre nodded, and gave me a subtle thumbs up.
Rin held up her hand to her chest, and seemed taken aback by surprise. "Oh my, so polite." She jumped out of her seat on the sand-colored couch, and pointed a finger at herself; proudly saying "I'm not royalty or anything, so you can be casual around me." She said with a huge cat-grin on her face. "And please, call me Orin. I prefer that friends call me by my nickname."
"Friend count: plus one."
I heard the sound of the bath-water starting, and the sound of someone screeching. "EEEEEE! TOO HOT!" Rumia squealed from the bathroom.
I turned my head, and yelled down the hallway "You only need to turn the hot water up a little bit." The sound of the running water might've made that statement inaudible to Rumia, but she was smarter than she seems. The little darkness youkai would probably figure it out if she couldn't hear me.
I chuckled, and slowly turned back to the group; More specifically, Rin. "So let me get this straight Orin. Gunethre has invaded the underground, which is one of the last strongholds for the residents of Gensokyo, and we are the only ones who can stop him?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.
Orin nodded furiously, and I decided there was no use waiting. "Wow… this sounds like the formula for a cheesy video game, or movie. An evil power has invaded, and we are the only ones that can stop it." I got up, and started walking to the door. "Well then, let's get going! There's no use waiting around-
*CRASH!*
I was unable to finish the sentence, because right when I was about to turn the door handle, something busted down the door, and tackled me.
"Uuugh…" the mystery person and I moaned in unison.
I was the first to regain my senses. When I was finally able to push myself up, I bumped my head on something solid, and it electrocuted me. "!" I babbled incoherently as the electricity caused the machines inside my body to malfunction.
*Thud*
I fell back down, and twitched for a few seconds. When I got back up, I made sure to avoid the large object. I held my head as my vision returned to me, and was able to see the person that tackled me.
She wore a battle-worn white shirt with poofy short sleeves. Her short green skirt was matched by a ribbon in her hair of the same color. Her Raven-black hair flowed like the Milky Way down to a cape with a moving cosmic backdrop, and a pair of black raven wings. The tattered cape was held up by the erect black wings, although one of them seemed to be broken. Although the most drawing features were a large red eye in the middle of her chest, her left foot; which was encased in metal, her right foot; which had electrons orbiting it, and a large, mangled orange… thing on her right arm which is what I bumped my head on. It was obviously broken because it was bent with wires and circuit-boards sticking out of various doors, and the fact that it was cackling with electricity; releasing an occasional spark out a hole at the end. The woman was stuck in my living room TV, and appeared to be about 19-21 in physical age.
"Unyuu…" The person mumbled. Her brown eyes were in a derpy position, and she seemed confused. "Must… Isolate… Isotope…" The Woman snapped to her senses. "BOILED EGGS!" She said as she jerked, and fell out of my now-ruined television.
"Okuu! What happened?" Orin rushed up to the bird and picked her up. The youkai, whose name I assume is Okuu, leaned on Rin's shoulder and limped over to the nearest couch. Like Orin before her, Okuu seemed panicked. "Okuu, are you ok? What happened to your control rod? What's wrong? And what's an isotope?" Rin bombarded her with questions.
Okuu seemed to regain her senses fully, and jerked to attention. Her split ends stood up, while she grabbed the Rin, and started shaking her violently. "!" Okuu slurred the sentence together and spoke so quickly, that auctioneers would be put to shame.
"Hey, What about me?" I spoke up. My voice could barely be heard over the frantic breathing of the bird girl. "Who's going to get me a new TV? Those are hard to come by in Gensokyo."
*FFFTZT*
Several sparks erupted from the broken screen, and I held my arms up in a defensive reflex. "I-I-I'm just gonna get rid of this."
I un-hooked the TV, and stowed it in the storage compartment. I decided to slip into the compartment myself to escape the madness going on in the living room. "I should've been a train engineer… or maybe a nice quiet job as a watch maker. Or. Maybe.. A… … ZZZZZZ" I drifted off to sleep, as the compartment door sealed me off from the world outside my cozy little space.
Inside the LT
Dan's POV
"What. The. Fuck!" I thought. That thought could sum up the entire situation that was going on right now. "So… What should we do?" I asked the rest of the people present. Everyone seemed to ignore me, except Maria.
Maria looked at me with worrying eyes, and said "We need to help Miss Okuu. She's hurt." Maria said with large sparkling eyes.
"… Damn… That's cute!" I was having another cute-kitty moment, when Rin was finally able to calm Okuu down.
"Ok Okuu, tell us what's wrong." Rin said slowly.
Okuu raised her head, and her eyes which were brown, looked black. "The reactor. It's going to explode!"
"WHAT!" Orin said in shock
"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! What's this about a reactor?" I snapped to attention in shock.
Okuu turned her head a faced me. "My… Reactor. I was minding my own business, and all of a sudden, the wall behind me exploded. I tried to fight off the people, but they overpowered me, and broke my control rod. Without it, the reactor will run un-controllably, and cause a melt-down." Okuu said while her black eyes met my red ones.
Maria tugged at my coat. "Dan, what's a reactor?" She asked innocently. "And what is Miss Okuu talking about?"
The Raven sat up, and slid the broken chunk of metal off her arm. "My name is Utsuho Reiuji, but it's ok if you call me Okuu." Utsuho said while pointing at herself. "I'm sorry, but I don't know much about what I just said, Unyuu…" The raven said sheepishly.
"Dad?" Maria looked up at me.
I had a grim expression on my face, and said "It means that a large power supply called a reactor is going to fucking explode, and take all of Gensokyo with it." I said in a depressing manner.
The depression of impending doom spread over the atmosphere faster than the black plague.
Utsuho got up on her own feet, and said "We need to throw the manual shutdown switch in 4 hours, or else it'll go boom!" Okuu made motions with her hands to emphasize what she just said.
I decided to take control. "Ok, I have a plan!" I got up on top of a table in the center of the room. "Maria. You're by yourself."
Rin looked confused, and looked over her shoulder at Maria. "Do you know what's going on?" Orin asked Maria. Maria just shrugged.
"Fuck yeah! I gotta get out there and fight those cock sucking immortals!" I continued explaining the teams. "Flandre, you're with me. Orin, you stay here with Utsuho. Matt, when Rumia gets out of the bath, you go with her… Matt?"
Everyone looked around, and the volume of everyone's voices rose. Everyone was chattering about where Matt might be, but on one was able to find Matthew Harrison. I "OK, OK! Order in the motherfucking court!" I slammed my hand down on the table I was standing on moments ago. The bang echoed throughout the cabin, and got everyone's attention. Even Rumia's, who was crossing the hall wearing nothing but a towel. "Ok, due to Matt's absence, Rin will have to go with Rumia.
Rin looked down. "But what if something happens to Okuu?" Orin said while her gaze was directed at Okuu's broken wing.
Utsuho perked up, and slapped Rin on the back. Rin let out a choked cough, but withstood the hard blow. "Don't worry about me; I'll be ok. Just focus on saving Satori and shutting down the reactor." Okuu said with a smile.
The previous feeling of impending doom was now replaced with hope, bravery, and motivation. I announced the rest of my plan right after Rumia got dressed, and then set out to save the daaaayy~!"
"… That was fucking gay you cunt sucking faggot."
Right outside the palace of the earth spirit's courtyard
Flandre's POV
"I just had to get partnered with psycho-mc-swears-a-lot!" I was fuming over my partnership with Dan. "I wish I could've gotten paired with someone like Matt… But he's not here now…" The palace was heavily guarded, and it didn't look like there were any blind spots in security.
Dan had explained the plan to all of us. Rumia and Rin used Rumia's manipulation over darkness to sneak pass the guards, then Rin created a distraction while Rumia opened snuck through the shadows to knock out all the outer guards.
Once Maria used her camouflage to make herself look like one of the guards, While Rumia continued to weaken the defenses. Once Maria found the reactor, she shut it down. All the lights inside the palace went out, and any security systems went down.
Once the other steps had been completed, Dan and I went in; guns blazing.
*SHVINK!*
"Awwww, did you see that! I sliced that guy right up through his mother-cunt-fucking balls!" Dan slashed through so many enemies, I lost count. I was just making them explode on sight with my destruction ability.
"Yay, you can kill people in cruel ways." I said with more boredom than Patchouli when she finished reading a series of books.
After defeating hundreds of immortals, we arrived at a huge stone door that was left wide open. At the end of the room, there was a little girl tied up, and a man with a uniform of some kind on.
"Welcome! I didn't expect to see you so soon Daniel." The man in uniform said. His voice was so chilled, it felt like someone was rubbing ice against my ears.
"Likewise General Gunethre. Why have you done this?" Dan said with his weapon raised.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA~! I never thought you of all people would ever fight alongside a monstrosity like that. Gunethre said while pointing at me.
"Is this guy for real?" I balled my hands into fists, and the ground around me exploded with such force, an average person would've been killed if they were standing less than 20 feet away from me. The loud boom echoed through the chamber and after, all fell silent.
…
…
"I am not a Thing, I am a refined young woman who is about to teach you your place." I said with hostility that rivaled a viper.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" The general once again laughed "You seem to underestimate me little vampire!" Gunethre bat his hair out of his right eye to reveal an eye made of iron and a red pentagram in the center. The pentagram glowed, and I started to feel great pain. "Do you like my torchure? This trinket can do other things as well. Get a load of this!" The eye started shining with brighter intensity, and I began to feel something leave me.
"NO, FLAN! Stop this madness right now Gunethre!" Dan declared while reaching for his rifle.
It was then that I realized what was going on. Gunethre was absorbing my life force, or soul as some people call it. At the realization, I screamed. "…" But no sound came from my mouth. Only a golden wisp. The wisp's connection to me was getting thinner and thinner, when Dan fired a bullet at the insane bastard, and stopped his eye. My soul snapped back into my body like a rubber band, and I collapsed on the ground; panting and checking to make sure I was alive.
"That was the scariest freaking thing that's ever happened to me. I even think I saw the SanzuRiver." I continued to pant on the ground, and listened to the conversation between Dan and iron eye over there.
"I warned you, but you didn't listen." Dan said, but still not lowering his rifle. There was enough tension in the air to rip a hole through reality.
"I wonder if that's how the gap hag does it."
Gunethre had a bullet wound where his heart should be, but there was no blood coming out of it. Instead of cringing in pain, he just… I'd like to say reverse swallowed… something, and spit out the round. He held it in his hand, and while looking at it, he said "You should know bullets don't kill me Dan. I'll give you one last chance. If you kill the vampire, I'll let you on my train to success. You should know justice always prevails over evil."
Dan stood there for a moment, and then quicker than a speeding hedgehog, he turned his rifle's sights to me. I was helpless on the ground. Temporarily paralyzed, with a gun full of silver rounds pointed at me.
I closed my eyes and waited for the worst. "Well, it looks like this is it…"
*Krackoom!*
To Be Continued
[AN]: Ooooh, cliffhanger ending~~ dun-dun-duuuun! I was reading some other fics, and saw that cliffhanger endings seemed to be very commonplace. Ooooh the suspense.

Another thing, I finally get to include the hell raven herself: Utsuho Reiuji, and the corpse carrier: Rin Kaenbyou. Been waiting for those two. My top 5 favorite Touhou characters are as follows:
1.)Flandre scarlet
2.)Utsuho Reiuji
3.)Yukari Yakumo
4.)Rumia
5.)Cirno [EYE'M THE STRONGEST!]

Patchouli Knowledge
Sakuya Izayoi
Ran Yakumo
Yuuka Kazami
BTW, for all the people wondering, AILC isn't going to stay dead. I think that's obvious by now, but he won't come back until a little later in this arc.

Dan's Armory: (the following was written by the person Dan is based off of.)
He uses various 9mm pistols and silver knives. He also carries vials of holy water.
The "Retribution" a specially made smith and Wesson model 500 revolver, chambers 10 rounds, scoped, has a 12.5 inch barrel (yes, I know this is not available in real life). he has not used this yet, but he will use it a lot against Gunethre's elite troops. He is strong enough to use it one handed. Bullets are diamond tipped, blessed, and contain obsidian.
The "Redeemer (a 40k reference to Uriah Jacobus)" a shotgun firing either blessed silver shot, or a slug full of holy water. Very effective against demons, he has used this weapon a ton against Rumia.
The "Exorcist" a hugely powerful anti-material rifle (based on the Lahti L-39) firing 138mm rounds. The rounds are diamond tipped, contain blessed silver, Holy water, and obsidian. Dan is capable of one handing the massive gun.
The "Justicar" a flechette gun that fires a hail of obsidian shards. Very effective against angels and immortals. Useless against anything else.
The Masamune, his sword. It is a Nodachi. Black with red strands wrap themselves around the handle. The blade is made out of a single layer graphene edge, and an obsidian blade. The blade is conjured out of the handle because it is so massive, it is not possible to draw it. the materialized blade is roughly 10 feet long. He conjures a new one blade each time he uses the weapon. He hides the sheath in his coat. He usually poisons the blade.
Dan also carries a great number of small knives that can be used for throwing, or hand to hand combat. they are all made of silver, and are sharpened to the point that even a light touch to the sharpened side of the blade can draw blood. He doesn't throw these knives very often, and usually only uses them for close-quarters combat where his sword wouldn't be very useful, but he still can't match the deadly persicion of Sakuya's knives.
