kirin !BX9zGDO0G. 2009/04/20 (Mon) 10:57 No. 23496 There's someone who wants to see this alternate path as a playable story, so I give it a go. Tell me what you think.
---------------------------------------------------------
This is awesome.
You just got the power to dominate anything that dares cross your path. The fool doesn't realize she gave you too much power. With this, you could just kill her and proclaim yourself as the new emperor. But nah. That's not a good idea. She's still useful. You can milk her for what she's worth. Make use of her until she's no longer usable and then disposing of her is a better alternative.
Somehow, only you and you alone are suddenly stronger. Reimu is still only Reimu. Converted, yes, but still maintaining her power as normal Reimu, not the powered-up Reimu. It seems that all the converted people, youkai and human alike, are still as powerful as before they were converted. You don't really know why, but it's a good thing. Now you are the strongest of all. To you, Reimu is just a stupid human with some recognizable power. You could even take on Yukari yourself if you wanted to, but that's gonna be a tough job.
You take some time to try harness your newfound power, and head to the battlefield ahead. Waltzing into the fray like it's just a garden full of flowers.
There they are. The duo of the Moriya shrine. Clay and Ku are standing in the middle of the angry crowd. Covered in blood which dyes their clothes red. The corrupted villagers keep charging at them, but are being repelled by their weapons. Somehow they manage not to kill anyone. Foolish move, you have to say. It's more tiring that way. Not that they have a luxury of manpower either. They are outnumbered. And by sticking with their stupid code of honor and being goody-two-shoes, they are going to die. You will be the one who makes it happen.
"Roa! How's your side!?" Chulainn stabs another incoming villager in the leg, and whacks him with the shaft. "...You managed to seal her, right?!"
"That's right. I'm here to help you."
Fools. You really don't know? What a fool you are.
"Chulainn. This is strange..." Clay speaks. "The villager's still under control. It's not supposed to happen."
"Then sealing her doesn't solve the problems. We need to get back and regroup." You suggest calmly. One of the foolish villagers dares standing behind you, so you send him flying with just a push.
"Whoa, Roa! how did you become that strong?!" The lancer's impressed.
"Maybe it's the side effect after sealing her."
"Well, I guess. Let's just get the hell outta here first!"
The three of you begin to plow your way out of the siege. With your power you complete it like it's just a simple task anyone can do. But Clay, who has been following you from behind, puts his claymore on your throat and stops you dead in your tracks. The villagers are startled too, and cease to advance.
"What the hell are you doing, Clay?!" Ku catches his shoulder, but Clay shakes it away.
"Answer me, Roa. How did you seal her?" His grip tightens, and the giant blade digs into your throat a bit.
"I just used the old device that the legendary person used to seal her."
"Show me the proof!"
This guy's not fooled by your act, huh? Well, it's gonna be easier if you can follow them to the rally point and kill them all there. But this will have to do.
You send the magical power through your coat, and the coat bursts into omni-directional bar of lights, sending everyone around you sprawling. After the light dies down, Ku and Clay can clearly see what color Roa is.
"Roa, you're already....?!" Ku can't believe his eyes.
"I just realized my true potential, that's all."
You pick up Clay's sword. To you it's as light as a feather and you twirl it around with ease. Nice sword. You punch it in the middle, and the sword breaks in two.
"...My potential to become the ruler of this land. A land which you are not part of."
Before anyone can act, you throw the 10000-yen banknote at Chulainn. He's not a newbie in terms of combat and he blocks it with his spear. But your plan is not that simple. As the note contacts, it bursts into 500-yen coins like a shotgun slug. Chulainn can't possibly block them all and some of it embeds itself into his body. Clay, seeing that his comrade has just fallen, rushes at you with all his might, screaming like a savage. He lost his focus. Clay's move is easily read and you counter him with the mammonite-enhanced punch. You can't see his face because the blood covered it all. Jesus, that's gotta hurt. You think you just popped his skull.
"Nngh!.... This little pain can't stop me!" Chulainn rises up again. Well, at least his endurance deserves some praise.
"Oh, no no no. Chulainn. You got hit with only one of that, and you're already dead."
"Wha---!"
With a snap, you blow Ku into bits. Numerous coins inside his body burst out into deadly shrapnel of 1-yen coins. One of the alternative uses of your power you haven't realized until now, which proves useful in combat. You bathe in crimson rain and laugh. Laugh at your ex-comrades' powerlessness when they face you in battlefield. You are not the same guy who came to Moriya shrine and got beaten up badly, nearly holding his own against two of the best warriors in Gensokyo that night. Now, those two died. Died by your hands, even. A surge of ecstasy pumps through your veins, bringing great pleasure and delight to your heart.
After you finish them off, you head into another battle. Yukari and Ran are fighting with the rest of Moriya folks. Kourin and the rest are probably fighting with the old Eientei's owner.
You lick your lips, and plan your next move....
