>>34869 Pitty. I liked Wriggle.
================================================
“One on one.” You step forward slightly from your allies.
“Fine by me kid, it’s your funeral.” Reimu waves the girls standing on the side off, and Marisa heads over to join them, still rubbing her face slightly.
You move to walk into the shrine when Medicine pulls on your sleeve. She pulls out Hourai and seems to be talking to her. A moment later she offers the doll up to you.
“She wants to help you.”
You hear Alice gasp as she recognizes the doll that Medicine is offering you. She turns to Patchouli and starts whispering to her fervently. You ignore this as Medicine slips the ring onto your finger. It seems to fit much better than you would have thought.
“She just needs energy from you. Just let her do her thing.” Medicine smiles at you. Wriggle steps up next and gives you a spell card. She simply nods at you before stepping back. You thank both of them before turning back to Reimu.
“Awwwww. Now isn’t that cute? Feh. If kiddy happy is over, let’s get this fucking fight started.” Three orbs fly out of the shrine and float around Reimu. They look like Yin yang beach balls of some variety. Quite odd looking, really.
“You gonna move first, you little shit, or should I slaughter you where you stand?”
You step forward, Hourai hovering next to you. You feel a slight. . . Pulling sensation from your hand. Suddenly, a laser shoots out of Hourai at Reimu. Alice stands there dumbfounded as the laser streaks past Reimu, catching one of her Yin Yang orbs, sending it clattering to the ground.
“You. . . YOU STUPID LITTLE SHIT.” Reimu instantly has an array of needles in both hands, she whips them at you, more seeming to come from nowhere. However, somehow, you can see them moving at you. They seem to be moving far slower than they were before, even though you seem to be moving slowly as well. A thought occurs to you. It must be the box again, as you step to the side. You manage to barely dodge the needles she threw.
“Argh!” Reimu shouts in frustration, “The rest of you! Don’t’ just stand there! Get his little friends!”
“What the hell are you doing! This is a one on one fight!”
“One on one, Huh? Well guess what kid, I lied. Don’t have to honor deals with scum like you. Yeah, You fighting me, with no help. Really kid, Fuck you. I’m not going to let you bring your little friends into this.”
“You conceited self centered bitch!” you shout angrily, “Leave them out of this! This is between you and me!”
“Hah! I decided to kill them the moment they threw in with you! Now or later, it doesn't matter since I'll be making sure they're all dead in the end."
Reimu throws several more needles which you manage to dodge again, via whatever slowdown trick is working for you.
Alice launches her self at Medicine, bringing her several dozen dolls to bear on the young youkai. Medicine launches off into Alice and drives her back into the building.
Patchouli floats over to where Wriggle is, hovering there lazily.
“So it would seem that it is left to you and I then.” Patchouli coughs.
“So it would, Miss Patchouli.” Wriggle raises up her arms and an army of insects come crawling out of the woods.
Marisa stands there, still rubbing her face, watching this whole scene unfold.
You and Reimu have now effectively traded places. You almost trip over the fallen Yin Yang orb, but instead quickly scoop it up. You’re fighting closer to the shrine with Reimu closing in on you. Medicine and Alice still seem to be fighting in the building to the right, and Wriggle and Patchouli are fighting near the gate and the stairs, with Marisa standing and watching the fight.
