Imagine the sound effect as you wish. Words are a horrible horrible medium to convey sound effects.
SDM
Guest-room
As he stared at Flandre's red eyes, only one word went through Dutch's mind.
Shit.
"Onii-san, do you break easily?" Flandre asked.
Dutch kept silent as he ran escape plans through his head. Crazy time! He thought as he came up with a plan. His hand still under the bed sheet, he phased in one of the items that Yukari gapped for him. A flash-bang.
O flashy, don't fail me now. He thought as he pulled the pin.
"Onii-san, you smell tasty, you know? If I break you, can I get the tasty bits?" Flandre asked again as she summoned a wand. Its bendy shape and hearts on each end made it look more like a child's toy than a weapon.
Hearts; how nice. Seeing that she wants mine. Dutch thought.
Four Seconds.
"Your elder sister is going to make you regret it." Dutch answered.
Three seconds.
Flandre smiled. "Hehe. Onee-sama would just lock me up and leave me with Sakuya and Patchy. She never did anything more painful."
Dutch quickly looked around to get his bearing. And then he shut his eyes.
One.
And here we go. He thought. He threw off the blanket and threw the flash-bang in Flandre's face.
"Wha..." Flandre said as she looked to the blue object in her face.
BANG!
Dutch rolled off his bed. His ears ringing and his eyes blasted by the flash of light even through the closed eyelids, Dutch stumbled across the room. Using his mental map, he managed to find the door. He turned the knob and fell out onto the corridor.
Behind him, Flandre dropped off the canopy onto the bed. Having faced the full blast of the stun grenade, she screamed as her brain received constant pain from her ears and eyes. She started to shooting red danmaku everywhere, unable to aim with her senses. The bolts struck the canopy repeatedly until it caught fire.
Have fun in there. Dutch thought as he closed the door. He stumbled down the corridor, his senses recovering with each step. After 10 steps, he was back to normal.
Phasing out his M4 and still moving down the corridor, Dutch glanced back to the door. "That was relatively easy." He noted. And then the door exploded.
"Onii-san. That was not nice." Flandre said as she floated out of the smoke. Other than a singed skirt, she was unharmed.
"What about killing me?" Dutch answered.
Flandre simply rushed to him.
Oh crap. Dutch thought as he rounded the corner into a fairy maid.
"What?" She said as Dutch ran past her. Any other words were interrupted by Flandre smashing into her at high speed. Both flew into the walls. The fairy maid started to dissolve into energy streams. Flandre simply picked herself and flew after Dutch.
"Sorry!" Dutch said to the dead fairy as he kept running.
Not the way I would spend my night. He thought as he ran down the corridor. Checking behind, he could see that Flandre was steadily catching up.
"Onii-san, can you stop running? I'll make sure I won't break you. I just want the tasty bits." Flandre said as she got closer and closer.
Screw this! Dutch though as he turned around and snapped up his rifle.
BRAAK!
The triple bolts of danmaku flew at Flandre face. Dutch caught a surprised look on her face before she raised her hands and the bolts struck. They detonated with the equivalent energy charge of a 5.56 lead bullet.
Flandre dropped her hand and smiled. "Onii-san, you know how to play danmaku." She looked at Dutch, who was now holding his M79 grenade launcher.
"Play this." Dutch answered before pulling the trigger. The grenade sailed across the air into Flandre. She grinned and raised her hands.
Wrong move.
The 40mm grenade detonated right in front of Flandre. It sent her flying back down the corridor right into the wall she just crashed into a while ago. Her staff chattered across the floor as she slid down.
And then she snapped.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ONII-SAN, YOU PLAY REALLY FUN. I'LL PLAY WITH YOU JUST AS FUN!" Flandre yelled as her wing crystals flared up along with her sanity. A myriad of rainbow colors lighted up the corridor.
Definitely not what I wanted. Dutch thought. He turned and ran down the corridor, taking a left at the next intersection.
Wait, I know this corridor. I think. He thought as he kept running, trusting his mental map of the mansion.
Taking another left, Dutch arrived at a pair of doors he went through just hours before. He quickly opened the doors and looked into the dinner room.
Surveying the large room, with its wide-open spaces and multiple pillars, Dutch had an idea.
Perfect. He thought.
SDM
Library
At the same time
Patchouli sighed.
The guests were definitely special. She thought as she looked at the notes she had written down.
A) They all have something notable. The females have magic abilities. In the outside world, that was rare enough. The odds that two person having magical abilities meeting was so infinitesimal that she had discarded any ideas about such an occurrence. And to think it would drop in into the SDM. She should really rethink about magic in the outside world.
B) Whoever the male is, he is definitely not a normal person by outsider standards. His words, his actions and his capabilities. They reminded her of vampire diplomats when they arrived at the SDM in the outside world to court Remilia. She smiled. They always underestimated her. It was funny to see them and their pompous ways Gungnir-ed out the windows.
But back to Dutch. His words were like a diplomat, designed to sound non-threatening. She remembered when Marisa and Reimu rampaged across the mansion during the scarlet mist incident. Their vocabulary definitely was not of the same standard of Dutch's. Also, one must note his physical abilities. To catch a knife in mid-throw requires reflexes of a kind that is rare even in Gensokyo. Maybe the reporter tengu could if she tried but other than her, no one else could probably do it. And finally the events with Koakuma. Having showed no signs to Koa's presence is surprising. Even male vampires had some reaction to the succubus presence. This indicates training of some sort or he is just immune. She is more willing to bet the first.
For that matter, it took her some time before she managed to calm Koa down. She would have to try some more drastic measures to get a reaction if she could.
C) Since Yukari allow them to go the SDM, it meant that she intends to let them stay in Gensokyo. Which means that they have caught her attention. Renko and Maribel was pretty obvious. Any outside human with magical abilities would be of noticeable value to her. Dutch, on the other hand, had no discernible magic. All he had was his skills, which while was impressive, that would be of little value since he can't fly. So the why for him was a bit harder to understand.
She could always put it down to Yukari being bored, but that would be too easy.
Sighing again, she looked at her notes. "Just what in you made her accept you?" She asked in frustration.
"I wonder as well." Remilia said, laying on one of the bookcases. Patchouli looked up. The vampire lay on her back, her wings spread out, looking at the ceiling.
"You spent time with him. What do you think?" Patchouli asked.
"Despite his denials, his blood definitely smells different from normal outsider blood. There is a slight metallic tinge to his blood. The closest thing that I can compare him to is a metal Tsukumogami." Remilia suggested.
"You don't think..." Patchouli asked, the question written all over her face.
"No." Remilia answered. "His blood confirms his human body and besides, a metal Tsukumogami would be impossible in the outside world. It would have been recycled or destroyed before it could ever reach the required time."
"So what do you think he is?" Patchouli questioned.
"Remember the vampire hunter that tried to trap and kill Flandre?" Remilia returned.
"How could I not? He tried to use animated bodies filled with magical liquified silver to trick Flandre into drinking them. Lucky enough I was there to stop her. That's what convinced her to follow your order to stay in her basement." Patchouli reminisced. "You're saying that he's might have liquid metal mixed with his blood?"
Remilia nodded. "That would explained the metallic tinge I smelled."
Patchouli opened her mouth but before any words could come out, an explosion echoed throughout the mansion.
Remilia sat up. "Please don't tell me that the Black-white decided to enter my mansion right now." She said with a growl.
Patchouli frowned. "No, Marisa would use a master spark, not an explosive."
Both of them looked at each other, the answer popping into their head in the exact same time.
"Flandre."
SDM
Flandre rounded the corner and looked down the corridor. "Onii-san, I found you." She said with an insane gleam in her eyes and her wing crystals flickering brightly.
Standing down the corridor, inside the room, at the other end of the long table, Dutch smiled. He adjusted the M93 Black Arrow 12.7mm Anti-material sniper rifle's bipod and aimed at the smiling insane vampire down the corridor.
Flandre grinned and flew towards him at high speed.
But why did you choose the last one? He remembered Yukari asking him.
"Because it's pure awesome." He said before pulling the trigger.
BOOM!
Going by the template, the 12.7mm round has an insanely high amount of energy just by mass alone. But once you add in the speed, the energy level is just shoots up. However, the speed of the bullet was not fully converted as full conversion would result in explosion and death, some thing that Dutch's personal non-lethal template could not allow. So when the bolt of energy left the round, it was still traveling seriously fast. So fast, in fact, that when it left the gun, it was for all looks and purposes, a magic missile, leaving a trail of energy in its wake as it flew towards Flandre.
Flandre had only enough time to register the bullet before it smashed into her face and just plain blew up. With the amount of energy contained in the bullet, it was like a master spark point blank to her face. She flew back down the corridor and crashed through the wall, leaving a Flandre sized hole in it.
Dutch winced. Firing the M-93 always hurts, no matter how many times he did it. He operated the bolt action and the large shell casing popped out. It smoked as it rolled across the floor, leaving a trail of blackened carpet in it's wake. Dutch worked the bolt and another shell entered the chamber. He steadied the Rifle and aimed it at the hole, expecting Flandre to come out again.
He was not disappointed.
Flandre stumbled out of the hole, her clothing ripped on several places. Her pink mop cap was gone and also was the string holding her ponytail. The crystals on her wings flared repeatedly, complimenting the two bright red eyes that glared down the corridor. Her bendy staff leaked streams of power.
"Onii-san." She growled, emphasizing each syllable. "I want to break you and break you and break you." She summoned a spell card and called it.
Taboo "Lävatein"
Flandre's bendy staff started to light up until it was consumed by fire. The fire burned up the whole staff until only the portion Flandre was touching was left. The flames then started to move, molding it self into a blade like shape with the hilt held by Flandre hand. Finally the flames died and Dutch was looking at the large sword Lävatein.
The blade was large and had what appeared to be red crystal lining the centre of it. The hilt had two hearts on its left and right and the the portion that Flandre touched appeared to be made out of the same materials that made her wings.
Dutch tsked, aimed and fired again.
BOOM!
The bullet shot out of the Rifle again, leaving a trail of light behind it as it flashed onwards. But Flandre was expecting it.
She raised her sword just as the bullet was about to reach her and caught it with the tip of the sword. The bolt exploded.
Dutch worked the bolt action again and another shell popped off.
Flandre walked through the smoke, unscathed by the explosion.
Once bitten...The saying ran through Dutch head.
Dutch phased away the sniper rifle and phased in his M4. He stood ready, waiting for Flandre to attack.
Flandre grinned and flew down the corridor. Dutch fired repeatedly, sending clusters after cluster of triple shots at the enraged vampire. Flandre either blocked the shots with her shots or simply shrugged it off.
Smiling insanely, Flandre flew past the door threshold, her sword raised in preparation for a cleave. But that would have to wait, because when Flandre flew past the threshold, she entered the zone of two motion sensors.
Both of which were connected to claymores.
Boom!
The twin pair of anti-personal mines detonated, sending out a spray of energy pallets equivalent to the solid pallets that are actually supposed to be inside. The threshold was engulfed in smoke and Flandre was obscured from view.
Dutch stepped back from the smoke. Seeing how Flandre managed to walk off a 12.7mm bolt, a pair of claymores wouldn't knock her out.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Flandre screamed as she burst out of the smoke, her sword raised again to slice Dutch in half.
"Shit!" Dutch cursed. He phased away his M4 and phased in his diamond knife, all the while dashing towards Flandre. Flandre swung her blade and Dutch raised hie knife and blocked it.
CLANG!
Human and Vampire looked at each other on the other end of their blades. Both began pushing, using their strength against each other. Flandre, despite her small size, started pushing at a strength level that Dutch had trouble matching.
Lävatein slowly inched forward.
Dutch started to back away. Flandre echoed his movements, walking forward, all the while grinning manically.
Then the Vault flared.
Tendrils of energy came out of his glove and wrapped around his knife. The knife lid up, giving off a blackish glow.
"Heh, that's something new." Dutch said.
The knife started to vibrate, giving off a hum. As both Human and vampire looked at the blade, it lit up and exploded in a burst of energy. Both Dutch and Flandre was knocked back by the explosion, each flying to the other end of the room.
Why does it always happen to me.Dutch thought as he slid down the wall. The knife, still intact, floated to him. It stayed there, awaiting it's holder touch.
Looking at the knife, Dutch had the most unexpected thing happen to him. Unexpected for him anyway.

What? Dutch questioned.
Flandre got up from her side of the wall. She took Lävatein and floated up. She started to swing it at Dutch, all the while shouting. The sword left bright flame danmaku in it's wake, which flew in random sprays across the room.
"ONII-SAN ONII-SAN ONII-SAN..."
Now she's getting serious. Dutch thought. Dodging the bright flame danmaku, Dutch phased in his M4 again and started firing at Flandre again.
BRAAK! BRAAK! BRAAK!
Flandre dodged the bolts and kept swinging her sword.
Love sign "Master Spark"
The blast of love blew open the double door at Dutch's end of the room and flew into Flandre. The vampire, for the third time in a night, was blasted back into a wall.
Dutch looked at the hole where the doors once was. Marisa walked through it, blowing on her glowing Mini-Hakkero, which was emitting smoke.
"What did I say about avoiding the younger sister ze." Marisa said, the moonlight highlighting her slender figure.
"It's a bit hard to avoid her when you wake up right below her." Dutch answered.
Marisa looked at the battlefield and whistled. "Damn. Flandre is seriously pissed and the room isn't even half destroyed? What did you do, talk her into a rage?"
Dutch chuckled. "I tend to be accurate with my shots."
Marisa grinned. "Well, time to show you how the experts do it ze."
Marisa mounted her broom, kicked off and flew towards Flandre.
Flandre, having received the blunt of the master spark, looked a sorry state. Her vest was completely burnt off and the sleeves of her shirt were gone. The crystals on her wings flickered erratically.
"NO NO NO! I JUST WANT THE TASTY ONII-SAN. WHY WHY WHY!" She screamed.
Dutch stepped back and picked up the floating knife.
...
/Spell card material collated/
...
/Combining possibilities/
...
Combining? Dutch thought.
Marisa pulled out a spell card.
Magic sign "Milky Way"
The spell card that tormented Dutch just hour earlier now flew towards Flandre. The stars struck her repeatedly, their target too enraged to even try to dodge.
Flandre screamed and screamed and screamed. She started to use her power, destroying everything left and right.
"Kyuu! Kyuu! Kyuu! Kyuu! Kyuu!..." She screamed as correspondingly, everything she saw exploded.
"She's gone off the deep end!" Marisa shouted as she avoided a falling pillar that had it's lower portion blown up.
"I can see that!" Dutch answered.
"Don't let her look at you. Her power comes from destroying anything she sees." Marisa informed.
Flandre affixed her eyes on Dutch.
Oh shit. Dutch thought.
"Onii-san. Time. To. Break." Flandre growled.
Ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrap... Dutch thought. He quickly looked around. No cover anywhere around him.
"No!" Marisa screamed.
"Kyuu!" Flandre said as she squeezed her fist.
"Gah!" Dutch breathed as he felt a pressure from inside him, pushing to break out. He grunted as his body received Flandre's power.
The vault started to glow, giving off a blue light. Dutch collapsed on the ground, whirring in pain.
"ONII-SAN SHOULD HAVE KYUUED! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!" Flandre screamed.
The vault suddenly screeched. Marisa covered her ears as the glove flared brightly. Suddenly, it exploded.
Dutch was sent flying back through the open door onto the balcony on the third floor of the clock tower. Looking up at the night sky, he saw the full moon, shining brightly on him.
The moon. Bloody hell. He thought.
And he blacked out.
Marisa flew to Dutch and checked him.
"Still alive. Thank god." She said.
Standing up, she turned back to Flandre and palmed her Mini-Hakkero. He stared at Flandre with rage in her eyes.
But Dutch was not finished.
At the place where the vault had exploded, a red tendril floated in place. It suddenly twitched and aimed it self towards Flandre and shot off at high speed at her.
Flandre, her mind too gone to care, looked at the rapidly approaching tendril.
It moved in a sidewinding pattern, all the while getting closer to Flandre. She reached out to touch the tendril.
It exploded in her face, destroying Flandre's entire body.
Marisa jumped away to avoid the blood shower.
And Remilia laughed.
"Unbelievable! To last so long against Flandre and actually survive. I am really impressed by his skills." She said as she flew down the corridor. Patchouli followed her, silent and carrying her usual book.
Marisa looked at the Scarlet queen of the night. "You were watching?" She said, her anger and disbelief written all over her face.
Remilia laughed. "Of course! Why did you think no one responded to the fight? I wanted to use this opportunity to observe Dutch and see what Yukari sees in him. I was not disappointed."
Maribel and Renko ran down the corridor to Dutch. "That was a dirty move, sealing up the corridor." Renko said to Patchouli while glaring at her.
The one-week magician shrugged. " Remi requested it. Besides, he was not in any real danger."
"Except when Flandre almost blew him up!" Marisa answered, her voice almost a yell.
"Okay, except that time."
Remila frowned. "Through it is surprising that Dutch managed to survive her power. Powerful mages have tried many to ways to survive Flandre's power and have all failed. Yet he managed to survive it. And even reflect her power back to her."
"That tendril was her power?" Patchouli asked with a surprised face.
"Yes. The explosion from the glove was not from Flandre power. It seems that Dutch managed to contain her power in a tendril. Although how, I have no idea." Remilia answered.
"Why don't you ask him when he wakes up? On a bed." Marisa growled, her hand inching to her Mini-Hakkero.
"Oh right." Remilia said and snapped her fingers. A pair of fairy maid appeared.
"Take Dutch to another guest room." Remilia commanded. The fairy maids nodded and gently carried Dutch up and floated down the corridor.
"What about your sister?" Maribel asked.
Remilia smiled. "You can't kill a vampire so easily. She will regenerate. And when she does, expect an apology." She said.
Mayohiga
Yukari closed the gap.
The fight was interesting, and very entertaining.
But she will have to impress to Remilia to never toy with Dutch's life ever again.
She wouldn't want to lose her magic bullet.
And so ends the battle versus the secret of the SDM.
Why i added Marisa? Cause i did not want to nerf Flandre and i did not see how Dutch could win.
RnR. It helps the next chapter.
