Chapter 8 Max vs. Flandre

Zer0 observes his surroundings. "Hmmmm, tons of books, so many to choose." He then finds a book that says 'characters of Gensokyo.' "This book might come in handy." He reads it, which actually scans it, because Zer0 does not read. Instead he scans it and automatically knows what it is. "Huh so many of them, including some recent ones, like Sumireko Usami. Interesting." Then he heard a noise coming from somewhere. "What is that? Sounds like trouble, must see." He moves to find the sound.

Architect and Magician were busy reading their favorite book, when they heard a noise. "What is that mate." Architect said.

"Sounds like trouble mate. What could it be?" Magician said. They went to find where it is.

Patchouli knows that Flandre and Max were fighting. So she decides to call a Scarlet spy and tells him to be warn that Flandre is battling with Max. So he did, and alerts the others that there's a battle going on.

"It seems that Max is battling Flandre huh. Man Max wants to know what she's up to." Butler said.

"I wonder if he's ok. I don't want to see him hurt." Sakuya said.

"Don't worry about that Sakuya. Max has the ability to dodge almost everything right. So everything is going to be ok. Let him handle her."

"Yea, but it is wired that Flandre choose a fight for him. I promise her not to use danmaku at strangers after gotten beat up by Reimu. Maybe she forgot about it."

"Hey Patchouli, was it that noise. Sounds like there's a battle going on." Magician said.

"Probably Max fighting Flandre. But I never seen her fighting anyone before. Sakuya told her to make friends not by showing off their danmaku. But by talking." Patchouli said.

"It's weird mate. Maybe she forgot all about." Architect said.

"No mate it's different. Flandre promise not to use danmaku at stranger. But however we never see her battle since Reimu came." Magician said. "She never forgets."

"It's weird when she wanted battle by broadness. I wonder why." Patchouli said.

"Where is that noise?" Zer0 said.

"Ah you scare me mate." Magician said.

"Hey Zer0 that noise is coming from Max and Flandre battling." Architect said.

"Is Max in trouble, we need to help him." Zer0 said.

"Who's that guy?" Magician said.

"That's Zer0 a Vault Hunter like me." Architect said.

"A Vault Hunter. Those guys seek for money and save the world from the vault right." Patchouli said.

"Of course that's how Vault Hunter is. Anyways we need to find Max and Flandre, where are they." Architect said.

"That door here. I'll follow you ok." Patchouli said.

Meanwhile; Reimu, Marisa, Aya, and Claptrap. We're at a living room just relaxing and waiting for Remilia to come. "So how long are we going to wait until Remilia came." Claptrap said.

"I don't know, but she has to hurry up. I'm getting impatient here." Reimu said.

"Man I can't believe I had to stay here with you guys." Marisa said.

"We had you to stay here to prevent you from stealing. Otherwise you will be in the wanted list." Claptrap said.

"Well it's not stealing I'm just borrowing that's all." Marisa said.

"I'm borrrrrred." Aya complain. "Why did we have to wait?"

"We have to wait for Remilia to come, but she's taking forever." Reimu said. Suddenly the door opens dramatically.

"It's an emergency." A spy said. "There's a battle going on at the mansion."

"What!" All of them said.

"There's a battle going where?" Aya said.

"We don't know, but we do know that there was a battle between Max and Flandre."

"Max. Oh no is he okay." Aya said.

"We can't find their location. We just have to get close to it."

"Oh great Flandre really. Yea yea she's a pain, but I can handle her." Reimu said.

"We must save my minion friends." Claptrap said. "Oh and make sure that I'm prepare to get bullet squash. Because I can't handle danmaku." They all went to help Max.

Architect, Zer0, Magician, and Patchouli. Search to find Max and Flandre somewhere in the mansion. Architect calls Max. "Hey Max where are you." Architect said.

Max responds. "In the east hall. And I need some help here; she's had an appetite on me."

"Ok. Max is in the east hall." Architect said.

"What did he say?" Zer0 said.

"He said he needs some help. Plus he said 'she's had an appetite on me.'" Architect said.

"Appetite, how in the world did she have and ability to eat human. That's not what Flandre is." Patchouli said.

"Well whatever it is something is wrong with her." Architect said.

Meanwhile, Max is still running away from Flandre. He hide under the table. "Man facing a female psycho, who's just a kid, is still after me. Why? Did I smell good?" He's waiting for Flandre to be gone which her response.

"Come here you coward, I'm only going to eat you." Flandre said.

'Man she's insane. How in the world will I fight her back if she keeps spamming her danmaku, and cloning herself?' Max thought. But apparently Flandre finds Max under the table. "Oh crap."

"Come over at my face you coward." Flandre said who starts to fire more bullets to him, while he dodges.

"Hey guys need help over here, she's gone so insane." Max said loudly. Flandre came to a stop when she was covered by water.

"Hey Max you ok mate." Architect said who is running to Max.

"Yea I'm ok, what took you so long." Max said.

"We didn't know where you are, because you move from the east to the large room. So we found you." Architect said.

"What is this, a kid, a powerful kid that no one could have won?" Zer0 said. "I sense something is wrong with her."

"Flandre you promise to Sakuya not to hurt anyone right. Well what did you do now?" Patchouli said.

"Promise I never had a promise. I just want to fill my guts with people in it." Flandre said. "And I want them crying."

"Flandre you never said those words. Where did you get it?" Patchouli asked.

"I might've think I know why. Flandre's been acting like a psycho. There must be some kind of switch up personality on her, and I think what's causing its some kind of Eridium being put on her." Architect said. "Don't worry, were not going to kill her. We just need to feed it to Max's power."

"But why's that?" Magician said.

"We have to weaken her first. What weakness does she have?"

"She's weak to light and water. Fire and dark does not work for her." Magician said.

"Then that's it. We show weaken her with water element, unfortunately we don't have light. But Fortunately, I have a cryo weapon to slow her down. But fighting her will need some help. Max can you use your cryo grenades at her."

"Well I'm fast yes. What for?"

"Use it so you have the advantage to knock her out first, and then use your ability to suck all the eridium out of her ok." Architect said.

"Oh right then."

"Magician, you and Patchouli will distract her. Using all your elements that are weak to her. So that it slows her down ok."

"Got it mate."

"Zer0 don't kill her, but distract her ok. Use a cryo weapon so that Max can be able to get close to her. If she see's Max protect him ok."

"As you wish."

"Alright mate go with the plan and return her to normal ok."

"Yea." Everyone went into action according to Architect's plan. While Reimu, Marisa, Aya, Claptrap, Remilia, Sakuya, and Butler watch them in the balcony.

"Are they going to be ok miss?" Sakuya said.

"Oh they're going to be ok Sakuya. Facing my sister who's a psycho is fun to watch." Remilia said.

"Hey Sakuya about the mistress." Butler whisper. "She's suppose to care for her sister, but seeing her like that isn't her. She's supposed to be worried."

"Maybe is that eridium on her. Or is it alcohol."

"Alcohol isn't the one. Eridium must be the one. She's been like that today and forcefully told our maids and Scarlets to do something for her. Isn't our command to do things for them?"

"You're right, but we need to figure out how to return her to her normal self."

Now back in action. Flandre being hit by some cryos, is still not enough to weaken her for Max to get. She begins to clone herself after Patchouli's spell cards expired.

"Dang this is trouble mate." Architect said. Flandre begins spazzing bullets everywhere making everyone to take cover. But Flandre's clone is the problem, making it difficult for them to dodge and hide. Architect trying his best to dodge and shoot the real Flandre, but couldn't be able to withstand Flandre's attack and couldn't find the real one. Patchouli actives her Royal Flare to take out the clones and stuns Flandre. All the others shoot her with cryo. "Max now is your chance."

"Yea" Max runs as fast as he can to catch a stunned Flandre. But Flandre regains conscious from the stun. Almost hit Max with her fist, instead Max hit her back causing her to slam to the wall. "Well that was close. Almost got me there." Max then walk to her, and place his hand to her heart. All the eridium came out of her body and into Max's body. Which Max then gain an ability same thing as Flandre. "Cool I can use danmaku just like Flandre."

"Whoa my minion gains a copy ability from Flandre. This is surprising." Claptrap said.

"I'm going to take a picture and write a report from this." She comes done and takes pictures of almost everything that she saw from the battle. "The battle between the Vault Hunters and Flandre was an amazing action. I'm putting this down on my notes and Max's copy ability too." Aya said.

"What the Aya where you come from?" Max said. All of them look at the top and sees Butler, Remilia, Sakuya, at the left. While on the right are Reimu, Marisa, and Claptrap.

"Hey there minion. How's it going?" Claptrap said.

"What Claptrap, Reimu, Marisa you watch us from up top." Max said.

"I wanted to help. But you guys can handle her since you got that big brain of yours." Reimu said.

"By the way where did you get the copy ability?" Magician asked.

"It works if I touch a person's heart. It also sucks eridium to me so that I gain a powerful danmaku." Max said.

"Interesting, a Vault Hunter with a copy ability, very impressive." Zer0 said. Noticeably Flandre began to move which Max back away.

"Wh..What happen? Why am I here?" Flandre said confused.

"Oh she's back to normal mate." Architect said. "Also sorry about the mess."

"Oh no worries mate. I'll let the Scarlets do the job." Magician said.

Suddenly there was an explosion going on at the mansion. "What the hell." Butler said.

"Mr. Butler, Mrs. Sakuya." The maid fairy said. "We're being invaded by the robots."

"Oh no. Hyperion must've found us right. Send your maid fairies to battle and The Scarlets to battle ok." Butler said

"Yes sir."

"Vault Hunters we need your help to defend this mansion ok."

"What Hyperion is here?" Max said.

"Yes Hyperion is here. Now go and defend for us."

"Wait but what about the allies that we want you to join." Claptrap said.

"Will worry about that later ok."

A/N: I just made a short battle of Max vs. Flandre, Probably because I was rushing since it is so hard to think and the story not being accurate. So now Hyperion has found the mansion. What do they want from it?
