Tenshi led the group to the top of one of the mountains; before she formed and threw a keystone into the air in front of her; the keystone hitting something invisible; which became visible.
It was was a stone door in the air. Sure enough; the door was arched; with a keystone at the very top. However; the door looked chipped and damaged. There were small holes in it. The stones looked worn.
"The seal really is collapsing faster than I expected. Even though I replaced the keystone..." Tenshi said; sounding worried. "Before we go in; I warn you; beyond this door; it is a world bent to Buru's imagination. Anything could be in there. And we cannot hesitate; or she will escape.
"We came all the way up here. You looked at our determination. You know we're going in." Rika said.
"Right!" Tenshi said; striking the door with the Sword of Hisou; knocking it open; before all three rushed in; and Tenshi tapped the doorframe as she went through; the door closing.
The room was massive. At least as large as the entire area of the Human Village. Yet; it was devoid of features and items. It was just darkness.
And Shades; which immediately rushed towards the trio. There were at least a hundred.
"I can't do much against these things!" Rumia said.
"Then get behind me!" Tenshi said; slashing a group of shades that rushed at her with the Sword of Hisou; red mist flowing around the sword afterwards.
"The unfettered bloodlust makes for a particularly powerful blast: Scarlet Weather Rapture!" Tenshi said; before the red mist around the sword erupted into a spiraling red torrent of light and energy which destroyed the flock of Shades.
"Not bad." Rika said. "I coulda done that too you know."
"Sure you could. Not even Evil Eye Omega had that much destructive power." Rumia said.
"You never saw it's full power. It was designed to attack from a far longer range! Using it's full power at those ranges would have been self-destructive!" Rika protested.
Suddenly; the two were hushed by a feeling of dread in the air; and a cold; broken laugh.
"Fufufuhuhuhu~" the cackle went; echoing through the room.
"Where are you Bur..." Tenshi began; before a cloth appeared and gagged her.
"Above you. And it's Enkura. There's no B in Enkura; Tenko~" the voice said.
Rumia; Tenshi and Rika looked up; and saw; upside-down; a figure that looked vaguely like Yukari. However; her attire was very similar to Tenshi; with the rainbow motifis instead black. Her hair; long and blonde like Yukari's; was wild and matted. It was dirty; and had strands of grey; indicating it took her a while before she became a hermit. Her eyes were a piercing blue.
Enkura flipped over and landed in front of the group.
"You're not very nice you know. You don't visit me all these years; and then you come barging in and murdering my friends." she cooned; keeping a safe distance from Tenshi.
The Celestial managed to un-gag herself. "Well you're not behaving. Naughty girls should be punished. Even if it's you."
"Fufufufufuhuhuhuhu; Tenko; what are these two pathetic beings behind you? They're clearly from below. It would be a shame if you let two people in here who wanted to stop me breaking out."
Rumia noticed Enkura making a movement Yukari would sometimes make when she would manipulate a boundary; a flick of the wrist; and she did not hesitate. She moved through the room's shadows; and appeared behind the mad Celestial; before blasting her from behind with Dark energy.
That darkness is full with madness. My head...
Enkura got back up; unscathed; and giggling. "Oh that wasn't very nice. But I felt something good inside you. I guess I should get your insides out. But how am I gonna do that?"
The madwoman turned; her head tilted and a slasher grin on her face. "Well; I guess my pet can make your insides spill out."
Enkura's middle finger on her left hand glowed at the top; before she put it to her head. A purple light shone out of the other side of her head; and from the expanding ray of light; a creature appeared.
On first glance; one would say it looked most like a Hydra; or an Orochi; simply for the fact it had multiple heads on long necks. However; it was really some kind of abomination. Each head was serpentine; although each one of the seven looked different. The heads were attached to the main body by some sort of... neck that looked like it was covered in a thick hide. Some kind of leather. The main body was muscular and looked like the sort you would expect from a Minotaur; only larger. The right arm was a twisted mess which ended in a oddly ornate hand; with a glowing white sphere grasped in it; while the other was an equally twisted mess; which turned into a huge sickle instead. The creature had no legs; it instead had two huge; raven-like wings.
"I call him Fluffy!" Enkura said happily; as the abomination let loose a terrifying; blood-curdling roar.
"W-What is that thing?!" Rika shouted.
"You tell me!" Rumia said.
"It's a creature from the twisted; broken mind of Buru." Tenshi said, before the group had to fly upwards to evade a clearly acidic mist that two of the heads spewed.
"Something that large can't be fast! It's an easy target!" Rika said; the two drones detaching from her shoulders; and creating some sort of tank-like cannon on her right arm; not too dissimilar to Utusho's control rod.
"Tenma's fast but large! Don't underestimate it's speed!" Rumia shouted; as the creature shot towards Rika; before Tenshi knocked it away with a barrage of spinning keystones slamming into it's side; pointed end first.
"Heh; as I said; big target!" Rika said; as the cannon hummed and glowed within the barrel; sparking wildly. "Tesla Cannon!" Rika cried; before she launched a single crackling blast of energy from the cannon; with enough force that Rika was forced to turn on jets behind her to stabilize; the cannon venting steam before it fell apart; revealing Rika's arm as normal.
The shot slammed into the beast; and it let loose a cry of pain as the energy shot discharged through it's body; before it exploded into a crackling blue mass of lighting.
"Let that be a message to all the youkai who will harm humans!" Rika said; looking away from the sphere of lighting.
"Not bad, but it's still alive." Rumia said.
"What. That was a blast that had a current of 200,000 amps! That's equal to the strongest lighting bolts. Even then; the voltage was so high it should have knocked anything out!" Rika said; looking at the smoldering; but indeed still alive beast; which let out another roar; this one louder than before; as two of the heads loosed jets of flame into the air.
"Fluffy is invincible. I imagined her as the perfect pet that will never die~" Enkura said. "I made her strong enough to even withstand lighting strikes; or having to go into magma!"
"Then what about magic?!" Rumia said; fireing a barrage of Dark energy towards the beast; in the form of javelins. However; the orb glowed; and a barrier formed around the beast; blocking the barrage.
"Heaven and Earth: Violent Motherland!" Tenshi said; slamming down the Sword of Hisou from above the beast; with a keystone between the sword and the creature; driving it into the ground; before a massive quake occurred with the force and the keystone's power.
The beast yelped; but knocked Tenshi away with a head that got free; before it breathed a frozen mist; freezing her solid.
"So it can survive natural things and magical assault..." Rika said.
"And it can freeze a Celestial..." Rumia added; before the two looked at each other.
"Are you able to fire two of those shots Rika? Right after each other?"
"It'll be tough; but I think it's in my capability to fire a blast from each hand."
"What about if the second one; fired right after ther first; is charged with Dark Energy as well? The force of that would be beyond that of a lightling bolt; and even if it can survive one..."
The pair had to evade a blast of fire and ice at the same time; before more of the corrosive mists; and a wild slash by the scythe-arm.
"Two might be too much in quick succession!" Rika said; before she formed a cannon on both hands; charging.
The beast realized what Rika was doing; and flew towards her; but Rumia got between them; and forced it back with a Chi-Punch to the side; followed by a barrage of lasers; before she flew over to Rika's side; and pumped one of the cannons full of as much Dark energy as she dared.
"Make sure that stuff don't blow up in my face!" Rika said.
"Trying!" Rumia said.
"Heh; Tesla Cannon!" Rika said; firing the first blast; which erupted like the previous one; clearly stunning the beast; before she aimed the second.
"Tesla Cannon: Version Dark!" Rika cried; as she launched the second blast; which one not a crackling blue sphere; but black. It slammed into the beast; and it screeched in agony; before; as Dark Energy tends to; the blast erupted into a massive explosion.
Rika was Rumia were thrown back by the force of the blast; although Rika stabilized herself with her jets. Fluffy fell to the ground; smoking; and unmoving.
"I detect no life signs." Rika said; turning to where Rumia was; before she looked shocked.
Enkura had her hand to Rumia's head; the light shining out.
"What a shame. Oh well; I can always make a new one. But I got what I wanted. The dark fantasy I felt inside her head... what happens if I pull it out?" Enkura said.
Rumia winced. "You don't know what you're doing! She won't listen to you; you know!"
"That's not what I care about. I care about the chaos she'll cause!" the celestial said.
"What are you talking about?!" Rika shouted.
"The other me... the real me..." Rumia said. "She's using her power... I can feel it; she's pushing her out of my head; and into reality..."
Rumia cried out in pain; as the other Rumia appeared from the purple light; and Rumia herself went limp; looking exhausted.
"Well... this wasn't how I expected to return to being in control of my own body..." she said; before looking at her counterpart; with a crazed smile.
"Without me and my powers; you don't have anything! But just to be safe... don't want you pulling any of that Chi stuff on me..." she said; as Enkura held Rumia's limp body still; before the Dark Rumia's hand pierced her chest.
"One down... an entire world to go~"
