Harmony in Gensokyo
Emponiment of Scarlet Devil Stage 5 and 6
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe find the head maid Sakuya standing in the middle of the hallway leading to Remilia Scarlet's room. Reimu, Marisa, and Rainbow Dash are quickly closing in on her. "Hehe..this maid lady really thinks she can stop us..?!" Rainbow's taunting is interrupted by a few knives barely missing her as she is forced to fly out of the way. "Whoa..I didn't even see them coming..!" Marisa just grins. "Try not to underestimate anyone here in Gensokyo...Hey Reimu! Dash and I will hold her off. You try and go on ahead, alright?" Reimu nods and falls back behind them, while Marisa and Dash speed up. They dodge several more knives and begin their attack. Dash first flies around behind her and tries ramming into her, but in just a split second she is already gone and hovering in the air, about to send some more knives her way. "Dream Land...Super Duplex Barrier." The three girls look up to see Reimu flying by overhead. Suddenly a cube-shaped barrier forms around Sakuya and traps her within. Reimu flies off down the hall as fast as she can while Sakuya is stuck. Marisa takes her chance to attack and she jumps off her broom, lands on the floor, then catches and holds the broom much like a gun. Immediately she fires off dozens of star bullets at once, aimed right for Sakuya. "Hmph...Time Sign. Private Square." She waits for a moment before unleashing the spell. The second the first star bullet hits and breaks the barrier, she unleashes the spell and time slows down drastically. Just enough for her to move out of the way and then throw a time-accelerated knife at Marisa. It misses her, but it manages to strike the broom out of her hands just as time speeds up again.
Leaving behind the other three, Reimu continues flying down the hall until she finally reaches the door at the end. After fighting off a few fairies guarding the door, she pushes it open and enters. "Finally made it...? How..the hell did you get here before me??" She stares in shock at the other two ponies and Patchouli already in the room. Patchy barely turns to look at her before answering. "We teleported..." Reimu face-palms as Remilia smiles and stands up from her chair. "I'm going to have to say no to you Miss Patchouli. Sorry Miko, but the mist will stay." Several spears made of a glowing red aura appear around her and she sends them flying toward Reimu. "Like hell it will..." Reimu manages to avoid most of them but is forced to put up a barrier to block the last one. Twilight and AJ both face-hoof. "Do the creatures in this world know how to do anything besides fight?" Twilight says, as Patchy shakes her head. "Not many of them, no..." Remilia summons another spear in her hand and blocks a hard swing from Reimu's gohei. Reimu continues to strike it until it breaks, but Remilia quickly counters with her Vampire Claw and starts swiping at Reimu. "Spirit Sign. Fantasy Orb!" She jumps back and unleashes her Fantasy Orb spell, which manage to knock Remilia off her feet. She uses her wings to lift herself into the air as she summons another spear. "Certain Kill..Heart Break!" She throws the spear at Reimu who barely manages to dodge, but it leaves a cut in her clothing where it grazed her.
The epic battle is suddenly interrupted by the doors opening and Sakuya being sent through them backwards. Rainbow and Marisa fly in soon after, grinning. Sakuya lands on the ground painfully. "D..Damn them..." Marisa flies over to Reimu. "Yo! Need some help?" Reimu nods while Rainbow flies over to the other ponies and Patchy. "Hey guys! Did we miss anything cool?" They all shake their heads while Twilight watches the others. "Just them fighting...I hope this doesn't end badly." She says. Remilia has summoned more spears to attack Reimu and Marisa, who both manage to avoid them. Marisa fires off some star bullets to distract her while Reimu flies around behind and gets in close for another strong spell. "Treasure Sign. Yin-Yang Orb." He holds out her hand and creates a circular blast around Remilia. "...Night Lord. Dracula Cradle..!" Remilia manages to protect herself with a red aura just in time and is about to launch herself at Reimu when a blur of rainbows rams into her and knocks her into a wall. "Not happening!" Reimu looks to Rainbow Dash, who had just slammed into Remilia, and nods in thanks. Remilia removes herself from the wall, now with a very pissed off look. "I will NOT be defeated...by a horse!" Twilight quickly rushes into the fight and takes flight right beside Rainbow. "How about two then?!" Remilia smirks and begins glowing red again. "Then you will all perish here..." All at once, Rainbow conjures up a twister, Twilight fires a magic blast, Marisa shoots off her Master Spark, and Reimu launches her Fantasy Orb spell. During the the battle, Sakuya had left the room unnoticed by all but Applejack, who decided to follow her in secret.
"Night Sign. Bat Lady Scramble!" Remilia screams her attack as her aura bursts and twists around her like a corkscrew as she barrel rolls forward through the air. She easily plows through the attacks by the other girls and heads straight for Rainbow Dash. Reimu catches this in time and jumps up into the air. "Divine Arts!" She kicks upwards and lands a blow on Remilia's shoulder, knocking her out of her attack. "Sky..!" Second kick to the chest. "Conquering.." Third to the chin. "Wind God..." Fourth to the stomach. "KICK!!!" Finally, a kick to the back that sends Remilia right back down to the ground. The other four lands gently on their feet around her as she summons a spear to help herself off the ground, weakly. "This...is one hell of a fight...One I clearly cannot win..." Rainbow stomps on the ground once. "Darn right you can't win! Don't you know the bad guy never wins?" Marisa grins at Remilia. "Still a pretty damn good fight! Too bad you-...?" The five of them quiet down at her signal just in time to see Applejack and Sakuya rush inside, slightly beaten and out of breath. Sakuya steps forward weakly and bows to Remilia. "M...Mistress...She has finally escaped..." Applejack's ear twitches at the sound of a menacing giggle from the hall and quickly runs out of the way of the door as it is suddenly blasted off its hinges. Everyone looks toward the door frame in horror to see a blond girl with her hair in a side ponytail and wearing a red dress, a white hat, and is holding a long, bend clock-hand looking spear in one hand. She has a pair of odd, thin wings with multicolored crystals hanging from them, and is sporting a creepy smile. "...Ooh...New toys to play wiiiith!"
