Author's Notes: Arrrgghhh! (the sound effect of an author that is angry at update failures)

Chapter 15: The Nightmare Begins: Miko vs. Witch, A Minute Kill

The miko smirked as she floated in the air as she looked at how godsmacked her friends (minus Homura who retained her stoic bored look) were as she blasted the witch with her spell card. Turning to the mahou shoujous she then said:

"As a maiden of the Hakurei... my duty is my honor. It knows no bounds." Reimu said to the still surprised Mami and the stoic Homura. Turning away she continued "Have I not stated this before Mami? I have said this to you a thousand times. Believe in me I have said... and now... I hope you do." Now with her back completely turned she moved onward determined to crush the suffering creature in front of her.

"Alright witch... Let's dance!"

Four girls were frozen in place as a familiar miko hovered in of them were shocked to the core while one of them was surprised that the miko interfered. At least she knew now, who sent off that wave a while ago. On the other side of things, the other three had different things going in their minds. Firstly is the fact that their senior/best friend was no means a mahou shoujo. After all she still wore her Mitakahara middle school uniform on. To Mami...

"I should... should have believed her... She never did lie..." the blonde gasped out in wonder as her best friend began to rip the witch a new one.

"Mami-san, what do you mean?" Madoka asked her enraptured senior. Sayaka was interested in this as well, judging from the way she stared anticipatingly at the blonde, as if saying 'Tell us! Tell us NOW!'.

"Reimu is a miko. She has told to me this for a very long time. She often said that she had to deal with a lot of 'the world's crap that people doesn't see' for a very long time. When I said she's melodramatic, seeing that miko don't do much, she chewed me off, then gone on a spiel on how bad her work was. To me, it sounded like she read too much manga and watched too many animes. I mean despite being a mahou shoujo it's hard for me to believe the things she said. They sounded too much to be fiction, since I always thought that the youkai and other folklore were cause by mahou shoujo and the witches. Later on I thought they were the various mutant kaijin that riders fought... But later on, more and more urban legends and and phenomena kept circulating, each with their own very real evidence. However, it was still hard for me to believe Reimu despite her insistence, she is after all... somewhat... ummm... how do I say this... smug (Kai: Sorry Reimu, no one can deny this fact. Reimu: *grumbles*). It was very difficult to believe her... but now..." she stared at her miko best friend who had no trouble beating the witch and a legion of familiars that spawned without trouble.

"She's unbelievable!" Sayaka remarked, unable to hold the admiration any longer.

'Yes, she is.' "She is... isn't she?" Homura said to them, walking slowly forward to their location.

"You... knew...?" Mami spoke, sounding a bit hurt that her kohai knew this... well Reimu did tell her...

"By accident. I had an... altercation with her... and..." Homura shook her head. "She beat me to the ground... flat... within seconds... very... humiliatingly..." she spoke her face flushing in embarrassment as she admitted it.

"You fought her!" the other three shouted in unison. Homura nodded meekly. The two other girls began interrogating their friend while Mami turned and watched Reimu once more.

"Annoying pests!" Reimu shouted as she continued to blast away at the ever spawning familiars the witch beset upon her. In all honesty, the large number of foes did nothing but irritate her. Heck, if it wasn't for the fact that she was incredibly used to this kind of fight, she would've done something stupid and impulsive. Thankfully she was taught better than that. She was ingrained with this things when her mother told her so and further expiated upon Lelouch's teachings. It did not deter Reimu's anger at her opponent her hands forward ofudas began to fly off from her sleeves in glowing red lights and began disintegrating every familiar it hit. The she flew to the left as the witch shot out more vines to impale her. The miko snorted as she continued to strafe at the witch shooting danmaku at it was a miserable affair. To Mami and Homura, the witch was a grave threat, to Reimu on the other hand.

"Stage 4 boss..."

The girl muttered before stopping her flight and extended her hands sideways. With that action two orbs of light appeared by her hands and in a few seconds a familair black and white orb appeared by her sides. She wasted no more time, because no more time needed to be wasted. After all to her, the witch was nothing but a distraction.

"MUSOU TENSEI/ FANTASY HEAVEN!"

The four observers already had thier jaws drop upon Reimu's entrance. Reimu upon the power of overkill had tired of her opponent (heck it was just a few minutes) and released and attack that completely curb stomped the poor witch. Heck all they saw is bright pinkish light... Then again what else can they see, the whole battlefield was filled with it. Bracing themselves, the light grew brighter and brighter... and then.

Gone.

The witch, the familiars, the barrier... everything was gone. They found themselves at a familiar abandoned part of the mall (which still had the damage that was caused by Reimu and Homura before) wherein a familiar miko still had her back turned. All four besides knowing it was over held their breath, until the miko slowly lifted her right arm and gave a thumbs up. The juniors could not help but cheer and the two mahou shoujou to smile (Homura less so). Until Mami's face reverted to a frown. 'Everything... everything will be complicated now...' the blonde thought bitterly.
