The next morning, approximately 6:00 AM, on a small street near the northern edge of the city.
A scream is heard. There is a terrified Yuki-Onna standing over two corpses. Both have been brutally mauled down to the bloodied, veiny skeleton.
??:*snarls*
The Yuki Onna turns her head towards the source of the growl quickly, she screams after glancing at the figure.
??:*looks down*.......
Yuki-Onna:*backs away, terrified*
??: *stares at the Yuki-Onna*.........Lets....get this..Over with...
The figure lunges at the Yuki-Onna. She attempts to scream once more, but it is quickly and effectively cut off with a gruesome noise, It sounds similiar to an internal decaptiation.
Not suprisingly, the screaming has attracted the attention of the neighbors. The ruckus spreads as more Yuki Onna come to check in on the ordeal. They find nothing around the area besides a few footprints. That of the Yuki-Onna, and a pair that seem to belong to something inhuman, the tracks are hastily made and the snow has tampered with them greatly. The Snow Priest is at the scene, inspecting it.
Snow Priest:Hmmm...*looks at the prints*...*glaces around the area.*
Yuki Onna male:Priest, that was my wife screaming just now, she went out just now to take in a bit of sunshine..
Snow Priest:...*glances at the tracks*.....This is unusual...
SS:Whats "unusual"?
Snow Priest:...There appears to be some evidence of a fast, but noticable struggle.
SS:Huh....
Yuki Onna Male: Theres hardly sign of them! Theres not even a mess! But what the hell are these footprints?!
Spectre:*walks out of the Yuki-Onna household, angrily. It appears he has cleaned his face* Whats with all of the commotion out here?
Nightmare:Yay! Spectres feeling better!
Spectre:*yawns*Just a bit..
SS:Thought ya were in a coma there, mate.
Spectre:Meh. The noise out here is so loud it could wake the dead.
SS:Looks like someones been kidnapped.
Yuki Onna female:Now that you mention it, My husband was out walking with his friend last night...He hasnt come back yet.
Snow Priest:*has a look of concern on his face* Theres nothing much we can do now...Either there are some kidnappers among us, or we are being abducted by an outside source. This problem will remain under investigation, The city has been built up well. We should all focus on building a wall to surround us now. That way it will keep the perpetrator in, or out. Either way, it should eliminate or simplify the problem.
The Yuki Onna talk among eachother for a moment, they appear unnerved.
Snow Priestess: The Nyudon preparations have gone on very well so far, near completion. However, we should follow the Snow Priests reccomendation. That way the criminal will not be able to escape, or sneak in again. This matter will be looked into until the criminal is found and brought to justice. Lets try to divert our minds off of this and focus on construction. This scene will be off limits until further notice.
The citizens mutter, they go to work on building a thick wall around the city quickly after the meeting. The victims kin are slower to act, but they nonetheless begin working. The Snow Priest and Priestess head towards the large spire situated in the middle of the city.
Spectre:..This is eerie.
SS:Your tellin' me. First Moka gets nearly disemboweled, Vimm has contacted me about maimed Fairy Tale grunts, and now this?
Nightmare:Ohhhh! Can we have a whodunit mystery?
Spectre:Way too much stress. Not really anybody here who would slaughter Yuki Onnas for no apparent reason, cept maybe whatever tried to chop up Moka.
Nightmare:...*narrows her eyes* Your being verrrrrry suspicious...
Spectre:*annoyed*...Shadow. Lusterageous butterfly squid-
SS:*panics after having a flashback* Uhhhh- Nightmare, how about you go point fingers at someone else, hmmmm?
Nightmare: But-
SS:*eyes widen and become extremly bloodshot after another flashback* HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?! *face-splitting grin*
Nightmare:O-ok...*sulks off*
Spectre:Bit annoying, but I must admit I do find a cute element in her inquisitve nature. *looks around the area* Once again, another vacation gone to hell in a handbasket...Probably aint even got there yet.
SS:With how gritty these deaths are being described as, I find it hard to believe whatever-did-this would just stash em away somewere. Did a damn good job at cleaning up evidence to. Nothing besides these screwed up footprints.
Spectre:I guess so. Better scoot before the authorities get onto us...
The two walk off from the scene.
Spectre:...Hey Shadow.
Shadow:What?
Spectre:*grins and pats him on the head* I just noticed how short you and Vimm are!!!!!(Is approximately 6'0)
SS:Oh hardy-fucking har....I just noticed how much your "tremendous" body has to work to support itself by sacrificing blood flow to your brain. You mean you JUST noticed that? After how long weve known eachother?
Spectre:*poorly imitated French accent* Touche, Napoleon. Touche. Hohohoho!
SS:Alright smartass...
Meanwhile, in the city temple.
Snow Priest:First I get the reports of slaughtered Fairy Tale thugs, now this happens..
Snow Priestess: It seems those creatures are upon us.
Snow Priest:Usually they are relentless and very messy in their killings. Im suspecting something else may be responsible...*strokes beard* I know they would take it sort of easy on attacking our city, due to its large size and our strange guests, but they wouldnt try to dispose of the evidence.
Snow Priestess:I see.
Snow Priest:We will bring whoever commited this crime to justice, however, we need to get the walls built up. We will be attacked by the creatures soon. They are wary, but not cowardly. They will inevitably attack.
Snow Priestess: Do you think we can get the walls built up by then?
Snow Priest:Even at the rate they're working now, i dont think we can fully fortify the city in time..
Snow Priestess:..*eyes widen* Hey, I got an idea..I think I saw a Chinese boy following them around...And they brought along a young witch with them, Yukari. She is supposedly one of the top geniouses in the school, and at only 13 years of age.
Snow Priest:Wait..*strokes beard* Chinese boy...Genious loli...Thats it, Priestess, you very well may have saved us! Let us make haste to these youths.
The two head out to the city.
Near the shopping district.
Fanfan:*sighs*
Yukari:Whats wrong?
Fanfan:Why do I get the feeling they just brought me along for the hell of it? I've had almost NO dialogue since we got here.
Yukari:You will get use to it. This is my second year at the academy. I've practically been a ghost the entire time desu..*twitch*
Fanfan:How can you stand it?! Were people just like the rest of them! WHY DO THEY ACT LIKE WE DONT EXIST!?
Yukari:Perhaps we will be involved in a scenario soon...
Fanfan:Also, whats with the "desu twitch"?
Yukri:I abhor saying it, desu..*twitch* But the phrase is built into my brain.I cannot help it! Theres no point in me saying it though, since I never get to talk with anyone much...*sighs* I though I had found friends for life when I joined their group, now I'm back to being lonely again....Being smart sucks. Why is it that girls with the low grade average or mental problems get all the attention!? Mizore doesnt know the difference between addition and subtraction, and I mean that LITERALLY!! And Kurumu...Well..Agh...Then you got Kokoa, but I think she might do alright if she didnt have so many complex's!
Fanfan:I guess its true what they say, empty head, full breasts...
Yukari:But breasts dont have anything to do with it!!! Were in Japan!....Maybe its because of my hair color. Maybe I should dye it green?
Fanfan:Who would that appeal to?
Yukari:I dont know...But I think the secret is in the hair...
??:Aw, thats not true.
Spectre walks over.
Yukari:*angry tone*Ah, if it isnt Spectre...
Fanfan:What do you want?
Spectre:It doesnt have anything to do with hair color...Well, not in my case. Though I must admit, I do like redheads. Tends to speed up the pocess.
Yukari:...But isnt Kokoas hair bright orange?
Spectre:Nope. She dyes it for some reason. Dont know why...
Yukari:How do you know...?
Spectre:Hotel. Running around in a towel in the middle of a large hotel, Crazy cat lady teacher. two students hospitalized from blood loss....My pupils shrunk to the size of a needle tip.
Yukari: ._.
Spectre:Yes, I couldnt believe it myself at first. ".*twitch*..A...*twitch*...Amazing....Just..I..In...incredible...I....Is my mind playing tricks on me?! N...no...its for real...Im absolutely positive......."
Fanfan:Thats a...Disturbing story, Spectre....TELL US MORE!!!!
Spectre:No...Anyway, to get back on topic, it isnt the hair 40% of the time, and 98% of the time it isnt grade average, 62% of the time it isnt cleavage, but I can tell you, that 90% of the time, its the personality! The more complex, extreme, eerie, ferocious, and or morbid it is the better!
Yukari:*taking notes* Uh-huh..Please continue, desu...
Spectre:Atleast thats what eastern males like. And a good chunk of western virgins. Typically ranging from ages 10-30....I get my motor running from aggressive females, but I will only persue them if they are kind...
Yukari:Any other advice?
Spectre:..No, not in particular.*walks off*
Yukari:Ok...Maybe I should forsake my academic success to become a psychopathic and highly beloved ditz!.....
Fanfan:....How about not?
Yukari:I was being sarcastic. I'll change my hairdo at the most.
Fanfan:Oh.
The Snow Priest and Priestess walk over.
Snow Priest:Hello there.
Fanfan:...Hi?
Snow Priest:I've come to ask you two for a favor...
Fanfan/Yukari:Huh?
Snow Priest:Our citizens need to build a great wall surrounding the city before the morrow, so we wont lose the criminal who has been performing the kidnappings.
Yukari:So what are you proposing..?
Snow Priest:We need you to be an architect to build our wall, and we need Fanfan to..
Fanfan:*suddenly looks very pissed* Ooooooooooh nooooooo way in hell! Nuh-uh!
Snow Priest:but I didnt even say-
Fanfan:Im NOT going to build a wall for you people! I cant build walls damn it!!! I've never built a wall in my entire life! *begins talking in an unbearably thick chinese accent* I no build shitty wahh for you people, even If I cood build wahh! I no stereotype!
Snow Priest:Please, Fanfan Wong, I implore you to awaken your proud chinese blood and build us a great wall! I am not stereotyping you, I am merely requesting that you lend us the abilities of your great race! Only you can build us a wall great enough to keep anything in and out!
Fanfan:....Awight...I admit..*loses the accent* .....Ever since before I was born, i built walls. My mother complained at birth about having to deliver a "bag of bricks" and "cement". And a bunch of blueprints with me...And pencils...And clay....And a polearm...And some *accent* FOCKING MONGORIENS!!! *loses accent* She still has scars.
Snow priest/Priestess/Yukari:...........*twitch*...*twitch*
Fanfan:...Im serious! Just ask her! Or father! Its amazing how she retained that figure! She couldnt have anymore kids after it though. Complications with some remaining cement,clogged up some important machinery. Father also had a bad run in with the cement-
the three look extremely disturbed.
Fanfan:..Either way, i guess we ought to get started before I scar you guys more than I already have!
Snow Priest:Excellent! Thank you both so much.
Fanfan:*accent* Les get dis shitty wahh biwt!
Yukari begins drawing bluprints, whilst Fanfan does the building. The wall begins to rise at pace with the others being constructed with the Yuki Onna population.
Outside the village, in a Mongolian encampment.
Mongolian:*spying* Hes building a wall again...
Mongolian2: What should we do, commander Shan-Yu?
A heavily built chinaman with pale purple skin, long black hair with a bald top, and a violent looking falcon perched on his arm approaches.
Shan Yu:.....
Are you ready?!
Shan Yu:Alright men, it seems the Wong boy still hasnt learned from the lesson we gave him back when he was an embryo.
suddenly a map of the area appears, Fanfan is a red flag over at the wall construction site, the Mongolians are a blue flag over in the mountains.
Shan Yu:Hes currently building a wall, i dont know why. But its our sworn duty as huns to tear it down! Heres the plan, we will charge a full frontal assault and tear down the wall everytime he tries to build it! Pissing him off and annoying him to no end!
Mongolian:...Thats it?
Shan Yu:Yes!
Mongolian:Will he spawn endless amounts of generic soldiers to combat us?
Shan Yu:Who knows or cares? Anyway, just run in, tear down the wall, and run like hell! Rinse and repeat if he keeps on building it!
Mogolians:*shrug*
Shan Yu:Alright men, MOVE OUT!
The music stops.
Fanfan has a huge, solid wall halfway built.
Yukari:Looking good Fanfan! You really are good at building walls!
Fanfan:Indeed!..BUT ITS NOT BECAUSE IM CHINESE!!!! I just-
*rumble*
Fanfan:...No...
Yukari:Whats wrong..
Fanfan:...They're back...*accent* *yells down* STUPID MONGORIANS!! STOP TEARING DOWN MAH SHITTY WAHH!!!
Mongolians:*continue to harass the wall, causing it to shrink*
The wall tumbles, sending Fanfan flying onto the ground.
The mongolians retreat, laughing heartily in victory.
Fanfan:*gets up*
Yukari:Who were they?
Fanfan:Mongoriens...
Yukari:"Mongolians"?
Fanfan:*loses the accent* Thats what I said!..They wont beat me this time! I wont chicken out and quit after the mere 326th time like I did last time!!!
Yukari:Ok....
Fanfan:They wont stop until I break..Well...Im not breaking this time! Our weakness was that the wall was too thin, they bashed it down! Design a thicker one!
Yukari:O-ok...*works on a blueprint*
Meanwhile, at the crime site.
Spectre:*strolls along*...*examines the area*...Hmmm...
Theres a small patch of bloodstained snow.
Spectre:..*looks down at it*....*widens his eyes*
Spectre picks it up in his hand, it looks at it with a look of concern in his eyes.
Spectre:*darts eyes slowly*...*eats the snow* Mmm..Not bad...
Spectre heads off into the city, hanging around the Shirayuki household incase he gets tired.
SS: ... What?
Fanfan: Mongorians tore down mah shitty wahh!
SS: ... What?
Yukari: The Yuki-onna want a wall built to keep whatever's killing them out.
SS: I dunno. Something tells me that if ya build a wall, it's only gonna get worse.
Yukari: And Mongolians tore down his shitty wall.
SS: Ah. *Becomes demon form* I was getting bored. *Scrapes claws and charges, as do Nightmare and Fsoi*
Nightmare: Yay! Fighty time! *Stabs a mongol in the midsection and tears the blade up, cutting his torso in half*
Fsoi: *Allows herself a small smile* Right. *Crouches and readies one of her claws behind her* Kaze...
Mongol: She's going to do Ken kaze! Get ready!
All mongols defend the side her attacking hand is
Fsoi: ... YARI! (Spear) *Stabs and four spears of wind fly from her claws, tearing through the mongols*
Mongol: *With a gaping hole through his head* C... cheaterrrr *Dies*
SS: *Blocks two mongols weapons, grabs them, uses them to lift himself, slashes one across the throat and stabs the other through the heart with the claws on his feet* Not as many as the Miu, but still fun.
Shan Yu: How can this be happening?! The little Chinaman actually has allies? And powerful ones at that?! *Hears something behind him and turns around*
Vimm: *Towering above him in gorgon form* ... What do you think?
...
Vimm: Alright, I'll give up for the day. *Readies the wyvern* And you'll still get your meal.
Falcon: *Screeches* ... ? *Looks to the side of it to see a familiar black cat*
Loki: *Hisses and lunges*
There is a chicken-like squark, a cloud of feathers and silence.
Vimm: *Stabs Shan Yu through the heart and neck quickly with the other end, slashes him across the chest, forcing him to stagger back, quickly knocks him off his feet with his tail, spins the weapon above his head and stabs him through the head between the eyes, nearly splitting it open* *Tries to remove it* ... *Switches to Human form, plants his foot on his throat and pulls, releasing it* Feeling better?
...
Vimm: *Sighs* I'm going, I'm going. You'll get those modifications already, just be patient!
SS: *Disappears in front of a mongol, reappears just above him, lands feet-first on his shoulders and stabs him in the base of the neck before flipping off the corpse* Why do ya have a psionic weapon then?
Vimm: Because I cant use psionics. I liked the idea of reading minds and stuff like that, but I couldn't. So I forged the White Wy-
...
Vimm: It IS a name! I can't really call you White or Wyvern can I?! I named you that because you go all out against wyverns and I'm bleached! Is that so hard to understand?!
...
Vimm: You're right. I could use the modifications as much as you. Excuse me. *Pushes past his siblings* Alright, but I'm checking on Specter immediately afterwards! *Walks face-first into Fanfans new wall* Now why the hell is this here?! *Blows a hole big enough to walk through in it*
Fanfan: AAAAAH! Wha da fook You doing?! Why you break my shitty wahh?!
Vimm: *Hits him in the face with one of his emergency tonfa* Shuddup kid.
Fanfan:....*grumbles angry chinese, then goes under the wall, completely repairing the damage Vimm has done in mere minutes*
SS:...I gotta admit, I've never seen anyone build that good who didnt have supernatural powers to help them.
Fanfan:I JUST HAD LOTS OF PRACTICE!!! *accent* I NO STEREOTYPE!! Not all chinese can build such a gweat shitty wahh!
SS:We get it!
Fanfan:*loses accent* Ok, yukari. What ne-....Yukari?.....*accent*Weres mah shitty architect!?* cusses in chinese*
meanwhile, at a hair saloon.
Generic Yuki Onna Stylist:Ok...So what color do you want to dye your hair?
Yukari:Green! The color of intelligence desu! *twitch*
Stylist:Ok, and what hairstyle would you like?
Yukari:..Huh?
Stylist:Color doesnt mean a thing if theres no unkempt, strange, or outright weird or possibly offensive style to go with it.
Yukari:Ok, so what styles do you have?
Stylist:Well we have the Snooki, the Fallen Angel, the Onryo, the She-Fro, the Double Pony-Tails, the Domestic Goddess, the Yami, the Shonen, the Saiyan, the Spikey Angst....
Yukari:Boring. Do you have any special menus?
Stylist:..That depends, you with the government?
Yukari:No..
Stylist:Alright then, but when anybody asks, you didnt get the hairstyle from me...*reaches into a drawer after pulling off about a dozen locks, and pulls out a pitch-back menu* Here we have what we like to call "novelty" hairstyles...*opens and holds it in front of Yukari*
Yukari:*eyes widen*....*blood runs from her nose* I want the Party-Hat, Desu!!!!
Stylist:*disturbed look* Ugh...Ok...The Party Hat it is..Just to let you know, you may wanna wear your hat over it rather forcefully when in public..
Yukari:Ok! Lay it on me! *lies back in the barber chair*
The stylist puts on a pair of goggles, and raises a machine down onto Yukari's head, beginning her cranial transformation....Electricity and fire sparks from the machine, Yukari vibrates in her chair from the shock.
The machine rises, fog fills the room..
Styllist:its alive...ITS ALIVE!!! You look wonderful! Its an entirely new you!!!*hands her a mirror*
Yukari:*looks into the mirror*..*gasps in delight* its..its..Perfect!! *blood geisers from nose*
Yukari puts her hat on before the fog clears.
Yukari:Thanks alot!
Stylist:No problem. Actually, your the only person I've been able to test this on. So consider that your payment..Now leave, I must make adjustments to the machine!
Yukari:Will do! *proudly walks out of the saloon* (I get the impression that whatever it is may lead to her untimely and highly amusing death. Not like she has any part in the topic anyway. -SS)
Spectre:*Leaning on the Shirayuki household with his arms crossed and eyes closed*
Vimm:Hey, Spectre.
Spectre:*wearily opens on eye towards Vimm* Mmmm?
Vimm:How are ya feeling?
Spectre:Eh. I guess I'll live. Its an improvement.*shakes head* Anyway, werent you getting some modifications or something?
Vimm:I was just worried about you so I stopped by.
Spectre:Well, thank you very much. I'm glancing around the place, theres nothing much else I feel like doing.
Vimm:Ok.
Yukari:Hey guys~
Spectre:Hm?
Vimm:Oh hey there...Uhhh.......You?
Yukari:Very funny Desu...Lets see if you remember my name now that I have a much more unique...HAIRDO!!*lifts up her hat*
Spectre:*widens his eyes*
Vimm:*psycho theme plays as he yells hysterically* GREEN!!! GREEEN!!!! GREEEEEEEEEN!!!!!! Yukari-chans hair is GREEEEEEEEN!!!
Spectre:*whines loudly and holds his head in pain* Gyaaahh...I suppose you were too distracted by the color to notice the phallic imagery?
Vimm:Phalla-what?
Yukari has walked off.
Spectre:Nothing..
Vimm:Yukari looked oddly cuter for some reason today that usual...
Spectre:Really? No shit...*shifts eyes away from Vimm*
Vimm:Hmmm....
Meanwhile, a good distance from the village.
A nomadic tribe of about 20 Yuki-Onna are walking towards the polar star.
Tribal leader:The polar star shines again, just as it did in the days of old. So its finally time for us to unite.
Member:About time to...Its been difficult maintaining a good bloodline.
The tribe walks along until they walk past a Yuki-Onna cemetery. All the snow is melted, revealing brown, decaying grass underneath. The ice-crafted graves retain some shape, but they appear to be melting as well. The plants around the area are dying.
Leader:.......
Member2:Leader, what's the matter..?
Leader:Theres something wrong with this area. Im going to take a look...You all wait out here..
Member3:This isnt going to end well. It never ends well when shit like this goes down....
Member:Your being paranoid, what could go wrong on such a momentous occasio-
*scream comes from the cemetary*
Member:Told you so..
Leader:Grah, its alright. Just a damned spider...This area seems to have...bugs around.
Member2:..What the hell is a bug?
Leader:They're kinda like fairies, only smaller, dumber, and some of them are quite crunchy. Sometimes slimey, or chewy. They dont live around these parts because they cant stand the cold.
Member4:I want to see a bug!
The leader throws a worm at member4.
Member4:*catches it*...Ooooh! It has a most pleasant texture! *looks as the worm squirms throughout his fingers*....*orgasmic sigh* Hey, you guys gotta try this ****!
The members begin passing the worm around, taking turns having it squirm between their fingers. They act like they're sharing a bottomless cup of LSD.
Leader:*looks around the cemetary*...*eyes widen, and gets a look of agonizing pain in his eyes*........*collapses onto the ground*
Member4:Hey, we need to name this little guy. *looks at the worm*
Member5:How about Wormy?
Member10:Thats a damn fine name!
Member11:Ok...Leader are you rea-
The Yuki Onna glance upon the figure of their leader lying on the ground. He appears to be in a coma of sorts.
The split second they look, an extremely pale hand is seen rapidly retracting its grip on his leg, and heading back into the ground.
Member:Leader!!!
The members pick up their unconcious leader, they rapidly head towards the Polar Star.
Vimm: Well, I need to make some modifications.
Specter: Okay. See you.
Vimm: Bye. *Leaves for his personal workshop* ... What the hell?!
The workshop is completely destroyed
...!
Vimm: *Checks* Calm down, I can still make them. *Begins working*
later;
Vimm: *Spits poison in a small vial, inserts it in the pole and screws on the scythe blade* There we go.
...?
Vimm: A technique I thought of. It's the most potent poison I can make. I even gave it a name.
...?
Vimm: No, I'm not telling you the name. I'm saving it for a fight. Probably Wallace.
... ..
Vimm: Talkative today aren't you? No, it isn't english, it's spanish.
...?!
Vimm: What? Fsoi's already got Japanese, Shadow's thinking of German, French sucks, and I like Spanish!
..?
Vimm: Italian sucks too.
.
Vimm: FUCK YOU! Seriously, you've got to be the most annoying psionic weapon ever! Of all time!
...
Vimm: *Sighs* Yes, you change. And you're my favourite weapon, but you're still a jackass. *Starts to leave* ... *Looks at some marks on a wall* *Eyes widen* Oh shit. *Runs*
Spectre:*yawns and looks around* Looks like the walls are rising. *shakes his head* I suppose theres nothing much to do but sleep...
Spectre leaps into the window of the Shirayuki house, arriving in the bedroom.
Spectre:*notices a figure by Moka's bed* *narrows eyes and growls fericly*
Touhou:("Yoda" form)Oh! Spectre! I didnt see you there.
Spectre:What the hell are you doing here?!
Touhou:I just had to make a few more fixes to Moka's rosario. *is examining the rosary with his magnifying glass* All the ruckus with the Mius made me forget some vital steps.
Spectre:So you just sped on in here uninvited?
Touhou:I informed Mizores parents about what I needed to do, they invited me to stay. It will take a while to repair this damage.
Spectre:Hmmmm...Very well.
Touhou:You dont seem like yourself, Spectre. How are you feeling?
Spectre:Hmm..*humorously* Ugly as the third circle of hell, tired, sick, fatigued, a bit of a curmudgeon.
Touhou:Interesting. Are you up for a bit of rosary diving?
Spectre:Huh?
Touhou:Its the darndest thing, some of the fixes I need to make to the rosario need to happen internally. I've figured out a way to get you out of there. It may make your head ache a bit, Scryer was a bit crazy after using the escape technique on him back in China.
Spectre:Insane, sadistic, Didnt seem too out of the norm besides a bit more common sense and willingness to talk. I suppose I'll be fine. I wouldnt mind be a little bit active, actually.
Touhou:Well thats grand! Also, remember to abstain from being seen. It could muddle Moka's memories a bit. Dont worry too much about your health getting worse, the inactivity of your body might actually help you relax.
Spectre:I will.
Touhou:Alright. Stand back and I'll get started. *places a pair of candles with pure blue fire, and a talisman in the center of them* Stand over her, please. And pull over another bed.
Spectre pulls over a bed next to Moka's, he leans over her rosary.
Touhou:Im going to make it so the beams of absorbing light arent so widespread. Cant have me getting sucked in, it might make complications...*begins chanting*
Moka's rosary shines, Spectre is hit with a beam of light, his pupils retract as he goes unconcious and he falls back onto the bed he pulled up.
Touhou:Alright...Lets see how you do...*puts a crystal ball directly in front of the talisma, an image of Spectre lying on a cliff is seen, which is replaced my static* Oh come on!!! *smacks the crystal ball* I really need to get one of the plasma glass crystal balls. These 1982 models arent worth a shit! I hope he can wait until I can head on over to the nearest Best Buy and get one.*hops off*
Inside Moka's soul.
Spectre:*growls*...*pulls himself up and looks around* Hmmm...Not bad, my body feels lighter here...Now what do I do?.....Touhou? TOUHOU?!.......Damn...I hope hes right about being able to pull me out of here...*turns his head, observing the area*...Its actually fairly quiet here...*leaps up into a tree, viewing the Shuzen estate, it appears to be in the later evening*...Not nearly as many cars here as I recall last time..
Spectre makes his way towards the Shuzen estate, quickly yet stealthily. He carefully observes the area, keeping an eye out for anybody who could see him. Judging by the appearance of the fauna, it is around Autumn time.
He arrives at the front of the castle, he bolts into a tree and spies around the area.
Kahlua is sweeping leaves off the porch, humming a cheerful tune.
Spectre:*mutters*Hm. Younger Kahlua. You wouldnt expect the daughter of the head Shuzen to be doing chores...
Kahlua:Its not a chore, I just love keeping things tidy!
Spectre:*freezes up* Damn...She has good senses...
Kahlua:Whats with the language? I dont really like cussing. *sweeps some more leaves off*
Spectre:*coughs, changing the tone of his voice* Umm, yes. I'm sorry. I'm just in a bad mood today. I'm a squirrel, a magical, talking vampire squirrel, you see. And some pesky crow got into my knothole and spilt all of my acorns.
Kahlua:Thats sad...Can I help you?
Spectre:No, no my dear. Just keep sweeping the filth off of your beautiful castle.
Kahlua:Yeah...It is pretty, isnt it? We have our servant to thank for that.
Spectre:Servant?
Kahlua:Hes such a hard worker, but he seems so sad all of the time. He kinda looks like a rockhopper penguin.
Spectre:Huh....
Kahlua:He does almost everything by himself, and with such efficiency. Its suprising with how much he drinks.
Spectre:......Thats..Very sweet of you. Have you ever spent time with him?
Kahlua:I tried to talk to him before, but he doesnt ever talk much. He just goes about his chores, then locks himself up in his room at night. The only people he ever talks to is my step mother Akasha and my father Issa, mainly just to get his list of chores. He might also talk to some of the other vampires if he is directed to them.
Spectre:I see.
Kahlua:I like to think I'm helping him by doing some of the cleaning, but I hardly do anything compared to what he does.
Spectre:Every little bit helps. I bet it helps him stress less, if only by a little bit.
Kahlua:Thank you..Hey, could you come down, I'd like to make eye contact when I talk...
Spectre:(Oh..What am I doing..)....Alright but, truth be told im not exactly a squirrel...Promise me you wont be disturbed by my appearance...
Kahlua:I promise..But why?
Spectre crawls down the tree and stands upright.
Kahlua:..Oh...I see...
Spectre:Well then...What do you think?
Kahlua:*shakes her head* You dont sound that bad. I dont think you should judge someone by their outer appearances.
Spectre:Thank you very much, your awfully kind for a vampire.
Kahlua:I know alot of us can be egostistical, mainly because there is hardly ever a yokai that can defeat us. But I know there are some out there...Alot of others do to. So while were a bit of a minority, not all vampires have their noses that high in the air.
Spectre:Those are wise words, coming from somebody so young.
Kahlua:Thank you. Say, you kind of remind me of our servant. Your eyebrows look alot like his head crest.
Spectre:I see. That is interesting.
Kahlua:Hey, how would you like to meet my sisters?
Spectre:The offer is tempting, but I think I will pass..
Kahlua:Well, ok....But why?
Spectre:I need to leave this area very soon. I dont want to have to make any painful goodbyes. Actually, i'd better run off right now...*leaps over to the tree, then jumps into the forest*
Kahlua:Wait!! You didnt even tell me your name...
The sounds of a car rolling in can be heard.
Kahlua:Huh....*smiles waves cheerfully*
Moka runs out of the door, followed by Akasha, who is walking.
A large limosine parks next to the house. Akuha steps out of one of the back seats.
Moka:Akuha!!
Akuha:Moka!!
The two run to eachother and hug.
Akuha:I've missed you sooooo much!!! How are you doing? Are you feeling well?
Moka:*being crushed by Akuhas grip* *coughs* Im..Im fine...Geez...How are you?
Akuha:Im great! Now that Im near you again~
theres suddenly a savage roar, an enormous shadow looms over Moka.
Moka:*screams*
Akasha:*prepares to leap*
Akuha:STOP IT!!!
Wallace:*has his fist over Mokas head while gritting his teeth with an almost psychotic, rage filled expression*....
Akuha:If you hurt her...I'm going to kill you..
Wallace:...*slowly brings his fist back*.....*steps back*
Belladonna(retains her appearance from the previous "soul dive":*steps out of the other side of the limosine* Dont be hard on him Akuha, he just thinks Moka was trying to hurt you.
Akuha:I know, but..
Belladona:It will take time for him to tell apart hugging from strangling. Hes been through alot of trauma...
Akasha:....
Belladonna:Hello Akasha. Your looking fine this time...
Akasha:Well, thank you. Same to you....Looks like the "hunt" went well...I didnt think there were any men so tremendous.
Belladonna:Yes. had to go all the way to the United States to find him. The poor man was found shot nearly dead in the back of an alley, probably from some huge firefight. Had more holes in him than a sponge, im suprised he was breathing. I'm not sure why Akuha picked him off the street out of all the candidates we looked over...Scanned nearly every civilized country of some of the most exemplary human specimens, and she picks this fellow. I wont go against her wishes though.
Wallace:....*looks at Moka with a look of regret on his face*..I...I'm...Sorry....
Moka:Its ok..*holds out her hand* I'm Moka..
Wallace:.....
Akuha:Go ahead. Just be gentle.
Wallace nervously shakes Mokas hand with his thumb and index finger.
Moka:*smiles lightly* Whats your name?
Wallace:*does the same*.......
Akuha:Tell her your name.
Wallace: Wallace...
Akasha:He's acting kind of strange.
Belladonna:Akuha didnt do the siring procedure exactly right. I think she got nervous and messed up. Even so, he is displaying unsurpassed loyalty and love like he should. So I would call it a success...Even though hes displaying a nature like that of a ghoul to some extent, hes been controlling it extremely well. We didnt even have to use the rosary restraint...He has been a huge pain to feed though. We can almost never get enough blood, I've spent a fortune at the Red Cross. Fortunatly his appetite should lessen after some time has passed.
Akuha:I'm going to go inside and help Wallace get acquainted with the household.
Belladonna:You do that dear.
Akuha:*smiles and waves as she walks into the house with Moka and Wallace*
Spectre:"Sired"? So that monster is some kind of ghoul or vampire?..Blast, Touhou should have contacted me by now. Were is that prune?
At Best Buy.
Clerk:Hello sir, how may I help you?
Touhou:I'm looking to buy a new crystal ball, my old one broke down. I've been wanting one of those high definition plasma orb balls that let you send text messages.
Clerk:Ah, I believe I have what you want. Horizon has recently released the new SoulBowl. Plasma orbed high definition crystal ball that can dive over 8998 miles into the realm of spirits and translate over 100 known undead dialects, it also comes with an unlimited call and text plan for $59.99 a month. The down payment for the ball itself is $25,000. After the initial purchase you will owe 10 payments of $800.95.
Touhou:What the hell?! Who has that kind of money?! And furthermore, why are you selling this stuff for U.S currency in a supernatural asian area?!
Clerk:Sorry sir,Its an American branch. I know it doesnt make much sense, but its store policy.
Touhou:Grah...Screw that then. It aint even worth it, my crystal ball could dive over 25,000 miles into the spirit world and it hardly cost me anything compared to this.
Clerk:Sorry sir, but the HD plasma orb and texting ability is very costly.
Touhou:But why would you invest so much time and technology into making that if it decreases its capacity to fullfill its actual purpose?!
Clerk:Sorry sir, but its business, it has to keep up with the times. Nowadays teenagers dont want to go in depth with spirit stuff, they just wanna contact some freaky "next door" spirit for their weird little ouija and seance things. Nowadays crystal balls are used to socialize with poor grammar and play weird little modern-retro mini games on.
Touhou:Ugh, kids today! Well can you atleast fix mine?
Clerk:Sure sir, I'll have the Geek Squad stop by your house later and help you out.
Touhou:Thank you! *leaves*
back in the memory.
Spectre:*glancing through one of the windows of the Shuzen Household*
Issa:So, Akuha..This is the man you sired.
Akuha:Yes, father.
Issa:*narrows his eyes* This man is not a vampire....Is he...A ghoul?
Akuha:I made a mistake when trying to sire him..
Issa:He is a flawed example of a vampire. This is unnacceptable.
Akuha:But father-
Issa:However, seeing as the situation is accidental, I'm going to give him a chance. I will welcome him into the family, after he proves himself to be an asset.
Wallace:...*gets a nervous look and steps behind Akuha*
Issa:He looks timid. He will not last long in a castle of demons if he cant even develop a solid attitude.
Moka:Dont be nervous, if father is going to test you he must have faith in you!
Wallace:*darts his eyes to everyone in the room nervously*
Issa:I have received reports of intruders on our property. Normally I would have them removed immediately, but I'm going to give you an opportunity to display your worth. They were last seen approaching the estate up one of the mountain paths, near the forest. Go forth and destroy them, and prove your loyalty and power.
Wallace:...*doesnt move*
Issa:I said "go"...
Akuha:Listen to his order, Wallace.
Wallace:....*steps out of the house nervously, and stomps his way towards the area*
Issa:Hmm...
Moka:I hope this doesnt stress him too much. He looks scared..
Issa:If he is worthy of being a vampire, then he will be fine.
Akuha:Could I go along with him?
Moka:I want to go to!
Issa:*glares at the girls* Very well. However, your lives will be in his hands.
Moka/Akuha:.....
Akuha:We'll be back shortly, with Wallace. And he will bring along the crushed heads of our foes.
Issa:*laughs* Then go, I wont keep you.
The two girls set off after Wallace, maintaining a distance. Spectre stalks him as well.
Spectre:Curious...
Wallace:*slowly turns his head towards Spectre's tree*
Spectre:*silent*
Wallace:*stomps onward*
Outside.
Touhou is back in the bedroom, a member of the geek squad is looking at his crystal ball.
Geek Squad member:Alright then...This is a really old model, wheres it from?
Touhou:I've had it for over 2 centuries.
GSM:Uh huh. Well, I cant really work with this, theres no plug in...
Touhou:You dont plug it into the wall!
GSM:This thing is wireless?!
Touhou:Yes! You could say that.
GSM:Geez, who would've guessed such an old model would have the technology to be wireless...
Touhou:Yes..
GSM:Ok..So...I've never worked with this model before in my life....
Touhou:*facepalm* Just muck around with it until we pick up a signal!
GSM:Right..*opens a tiny compartment in the side* Wow at the wires...Hey...i think I found your problem.
Touhou:Huh?
GSM:..Theres a doujinshi clogged up in the wires....
Touhou:!!!! Oh yeah!! Thanks for the service young man, I'll send a check. *eagerly shoves him out*
Touhou shuts the door behind him and goes over to the crystal ball, he reaches into the side compartment and pulls out a dirty-looking doujinshi. The crystal ball springs to life.
Touhou:Ooooohoohohoooo! Excellent!...I was wondering were I put this! I havent seen it in YEARS! Now that I think about it, I believe I shoved it in there to avoid being caught red-handed by a fellow Wong who stepped into the room at the wrong time..hehehe...*begins looking through it* Oooooh....*reaches his hand down into the robe and moves it around* Splash Woman~
In the memory..
Spectre:*muttering to himself* Whats taking that old man so long?!
Wallace:*stomping around the mountain path, keeping an eye out for intruders*...
Spectre:One would almost not recognize this goliath from his current temprament..He seems like a lost and confused child..
Wallace:*stares down the mountain path intently* *growls nervously*
Suddenly a storm of bayonet-like blades beams from the fog and impales Wallace throughout the chest, stomach, and head.
Wallace:*screams in shock and staggers back*
Three sillouettes approach through the fog, as they amerge they appear to be tall, and well toned human males. They wear black, unbuttoned cassocks with a white trim. Neither are particularly unique in appearance.
Moka:Oh no!! Wallace!
Akuha:*narrows her eyes* How dare they..Moka, head back to the mansion!
Moka:No! Not without you! We ask father to take care of it!
Akuha:*depressed look* They killed my first guardian, Moka..Im not going to let them get away with it!
Akuha sinks into the ground..
Moka:*hides behind a bush* Be careful...They look strong...
Warrior Priest:It appears we have felled one of the heathenous beasts.
Warrior Priest2: A remarkably powerful one, two. It should be easy crumbling this castle of devils.
Akuha rises behind them and Jigen's two of the through their skulls with her fingers, then uses her leg to stab into the center one and slash him in half from stomach to the right shoulder.
The three fall and Akuha steps away, covered in their blood.
She swiftly runs over to Wallace.
Akuha:*walks over to his head*....*frowns* You werent the bravest..But you were my knight...*rubs his forehead, which is punctured by Bayonets*My protector...I chose you out of millions...You were the only one I wanted...
Moka:Akuha...*walks over* Im sorry.
Akuha:*Hugs Moka* I dont want to sire another guardian..I didnt like anybody else....
Moka:He was really strong..And friendly..I'll miss him to.
Akuha:Even though he was under my "employment" for only a little while...I knew we would become so close.
Moka:AKUHA-
A Bayonet speeds towards the two, Akuha steps out in the last second and gets her right shoulder blade skewed.
Akuha:*winces and whines in pain*
Moka:*fearfully hides behind Wallace's body*
the three warrior priests have risen and fully regenerated.
WP1:It's our job to exterminate all the demons of hell.
WP2:Black Devil Akuha Shuzen, In the name of the church you will be cast down back into hell were you belong.
WP3:Your body will return to dust, your soul to the pit of fire.
Akuha:*pupils shrink* You've made your last mistake!!
Akuha ferociously engages the three, mutilating them with the Jigen Tou mixed with various martial art moves. For nearly 2 solid minutes of fighting she remains untouched, but has to dodge their constant flurry of attacks nonstop. She "kills" them numerous times, only for them to regenerate back into peak fighting condition in seconds.
Akuha:*panting heavily while trying to parry their assault* They dont tire..They heal no matter what I do to them!!
Akuha ends up making a wrong step, she gets impaled from six bayonets, through her right knee, her left shoulder, her stomach, her right hip, her left breast, and her left femur.
Akuha:*screams and falls back towards the wall of a cliff, then slides down onto her rear*
Wallace:*eyes jolt open and pupils narrow at Akuha's scream*
Warrior Priest 1:*positions a bayonet to aim at her heart* Savor this earthly pain, devil, for an eternity of much worse awaits thee.
The Warrior Priest's upper body is torn clean off, a shower of blood follows.
the two priests turn around and face Wallace, he has risen onto his feet, still skewered by bayonets through all his vitals.
Wallace:*breathing heavily, seething with fury*
Wallace roars and expells the bayonets from his body, his wounds regenerate.
WP1:*fuses his two halves together and regains a fighting stance*Your body will not die easily, but your soul's minutes are numbered.
Wallace picks up the Priest with one hand, he bites him in half like a pretzel stick and gnaws on his upper body, causing it to bleed profusely into his gullet. he constricts his lower body with his other hand for a similiar effect. Due to the constant regeneration of the Priest he is able to engorge himself with blood. It coats his lower face and streams down onto his body, dying his suit dark red.
Eventually the Priests regeneration malfunctions from the sheer punishment, he crumbles to dust after being drained dry. Which is promptly stamped into the ground.
Wallace:*exhales, blood running from his mouth*
Moka:*steps back in fear*
Wallace brings down his fist onto another priest with breakneck speed, liquifying him. Including his bayonets. He licks the smear off the ground with his large tongue. The blood stains the fog around the area, giving it a red hue.
The remaining priest prays into a communicator, it signals a dozen more to arrive in the area. They all charge at Wallace. He endures their attacks without wincing and destroys them, typically by devouring or draining them in some way.
More of the warrior priests begin to arrive at the area, eventually they are able to keep Wallace from moving much from their sheer number and brutality of their attacks.
Wallace:*eyes turn blood red, gleam, and pupils become cat-like slits*
Wallace's sillouette begins to grow and changed shape, taking on numerous, monstrous features. Moka watches from the shadows horrified, the area becomes almost solid red from the bloody fog as the sounds of gore-ridden devouring and destruction fill the air.
The priests eventually stop appearing. There is an enormous exhale as the fog vanishes, it reveals the area is covered in a blood, pooling and going off the mountain path like a waterfall. Wallace is back in his human form, inhaling the mist. He is holding a dozen heads in his right hand, there are a dozen brutalized, twitching bodies lying around the area.
Wallace smashes the heads into his face and chews them excessively, causing blood to seep profusely from his mouth. The twitching bodies cease movement, having finally died. They turn to dust.
Wallace:*exhales and roars*
Wallace walks over to Akuha slowly, he picks her up and looks at her. He tears a laceration on his neck with one of his fingernails and bleeds into Akuha's mouth briefly. She coughs, reawakens and looks at him.
Akuha:...We..Survived that? *holds her head*
The bayonets fall from Akuha's body. Wallace sits her on the ground and she gains some footing, she is somewhat weakened.
Moka:.....
Clapping is heard.
Issa:*Emerges from the woods* Beautiful, simply beautiful. I never imagined I would ever witness such carnage. I almost thought I would have to intervene, but you've proved me wrong.
Wallace:*breathing heavily*
Akuha:See..What did I tell you, father?
Issa:Well, you didnt bring me the crushed heads of our enemies but eating them is so much better and much less messy than carrying them over the carpet...
Belladonna walks out as well.
Belladonna:I told you to have faith in the girl and her guardian, Issa.
Issa:Indeed I did, and it was very well placed. It does take a bit of berating to really bring out an exemplary performance. It appears that our Wallace held off an entire army worth of enemies.
Belladonna:But I wonder who....*looks around*....*growls angrily and lifts an emblem off the ground* Iscariot!
Issa:Iscariot?
Belladonna:I live around the same country as them, and I have had my fair share of run-ins with them..They wont dare attack me, so what else would they do but go after my family.
Issa:They sound like they are part of the Vatican, if they're from Italy. Being named after an apostle to boot...
Belladonna:Bah, they're not of the Vatican. They can be zealous, but they arent murderers, or even violent. Iscariot is a rogue self-proclaimed branch that is devoted to declaring war on anything non-catholic and "demonic". Including other Christians. The only reason they dont attack the vatican itself is because they need a scapegoat powerful enough to intimidate the enemies who know their real agenda into keeping quiet, and to take the heat for them. They're attempting to use religion to acheive global power.
Issa:Does the Vatican know of their immoral activities?
Belladonna:Not likely. They're incredibly secretive.
Issa:Hmmm...
Belladonna:However, these are also the Crests of their best warriors. The regenerators. They are extremely powerful genetically engineered warriors, with nigh unsurpassed strength, agility, and endurance. They are also immortal to boot....Unless they are destroyed extremely thoroughly. By the way it looks, they sent their entire army here to attack us. With how difficult it is to create regenerators, even with todays incredible technology kept secret from the masses, they will take centuries to recover from this...I'm heading back to Italy to nip them in the bud before they sprout again. I'll be back soon.
Lurr pulls over In a Limosine, Belladonna gets in and they drive off.
Akuha:Well, father?
Issa:He is incredible, you've chosen your guardian wisely. Not only has he destroyed our intruders, but also anhialated what could have been one of the biggest threats to our family. He may not be a true super vampire, but his strength makes him one in his own right...Thank you for defending my children.
Wallace:*smiles* I appreciate it..Sir...
Issa:*grabs Moka and Akuha's hands* Come, lets return to the castle. It is getting late.
the three walk off, Wallace remains in his place and looks over the remains.
Issa:..Are you coming?
Wallace:..Shortly.
Akuha:Take your time.
Wallace:*silently stares at the ground*
Spectre:*peers out from the tree*
Wallace:*reaches down into his shirt collar and pulls out a simply made silver cross on a chain necklace, and stares at it*....Huhhhh....*puts the cross back into his jacket and catches up with the Shuzens*
Spectre:*leaps from the tree and onto the ground*Despicable. Using the word of God to try and acheive one's own agenda, while betraying his teachings and casting blame on others....People....They need alot of work...*angrily heads back to the estate* !!!! Nyyyyygghh!!!!*enviroment begins to shift* Whats happening?!
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
Touhou:*reading the doujin* Come on...COME ON!! YESSSS!!!...Its finally risen enough so I can stand up to piss! *picks up a small chair and runs into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him*......Ahhhhhhhhh......Being old sucks..This is as good as it gets.....
Touhou steps out pulling up his pants and tieing the sash of his robes.
Touhou:*looks around*....Huh...Spectre?...
Spectre's body is nowere to be found.
Touhou:Did he exit on his own?! *looks into the crystal ball* Hey! HEY!! Are you in there?
Spectre:You dont have to yell. I can hear you.
Touhou:Oh..You must've rolled off the bed or something.
Spectre: What took you so long?
Touhou:I had to get my crystal ball repaired...
Spectre:What was wrong with it?
Touhou:Nothing worth being concerned about! So hows it going in there?
Spectre:Seen some interesting stuff...So what do you need repaired internally?
Touhou:I need you to take this hammer and nail in a "focus point".
A mallet-like hammer appears in Spectre's hand along with a red, crystalline spike.
Touhou:Nailing that in will focus the rosary's energy internally, causing it to magically repair those tricky internal bits.
Spectre:Alright...
Touhou:You will need to travel to the point in Moka's memories were the rosary first started sealing them. Then you must jam that nail into the back of Moka's skull.
Spectre:....Say what?
Touhou:Yep. Just jump in behind her, nail 'er fast and hard, and get the hell outta there before she notices you!
Spectre:Say Whaaaaaat?!
Touhou:That....Sounded dirtier than I intended...Just do it! She wont feel a thing. And try to avoid letting her see you.
Spectre:Ok...So what do I do?
Touhou:What do You mean "What do I do"? I just told you!
Spectre:I mean what damn time period do I have to go to if I wanna nail Moka's head!?
Touhou:You need to go forward in time to were Moka's mother gave her the seal, nail her head the moment she gets it!
Spectre:So how do I travel forth?
Touhou:...hang on, let me see if my crystal ball has a fast forward button...Hmmm...*looks around* Aha! *clicks*
The vision goes slightly static as the dream world fast forwards, Spectre is standing in place.
Touhou:Aaaaannnnnd...Here we are!
The castle is being ravaged by Alucard.
Spectre:What on earth...?
Touhou:This is were Alucard was awakened by becoming synchronized with Moka's blood!
Spectre:Huh. Hes pretty big. I could have sworn I saw that guy in a movie before. And heard the name...I dont know how many times.
Touhou:Just go in there and watch things.
Spectre leaps towards the castle, he lands on a spire out of anyone's line of sight.
Spectre:*looks around* Nothing but tendrils, teeth and...*eyes widen* Hot damn!!!! *unzipping noise, followed by a loud, cartoony spring noise and the Psycho theme*
Touhou:AAAAAAGH!!*looks away from the crystal ball, which has cracked from the mind-flaying sight* PUT IT AWAY!!! PUT IT AWAY!!! EVEN IM NOT PERVERTED ENOUGH TO GET A KICK OUT OF THAT!!!!!!
Spectre:*oggling Mokas mother in her Battle corset*
Touhou:SPECTRE!!
Spectre:*watching Akasha fight* Im...Sorry...Its.....Instinct....*pants profusely*
Touhou:CONTROL YOURSELF!!!!!
Alucard:*one of his heads turns up and sees Spectre*....*shreiks in absolute horror, causing all the other heads to shreik*
Akasha:Alucard is distracted by some-*looks up* *screams*
Akuha:What is it?! *looks up, similiar reaction*
Spectre:DONT STOP!!! Keep fighting!! And dont be stingy with those round-house and helicoptor kicks!!
Akasha:...........
Akuha:.............
Alucard:.....*covers up some of his heads' nonexistant eyes with his tendrils*
Touhou:YOU IDIOT!!!!
Spectre:What? Its not gonna affect anything unless Moka sees me..
Touhou:BUT SHE CAN!!!
Moka:*weakly*M-..Mother..w...whats that...Is.....Is it...P....Part of Alucard....?
Akasha:Focus on something else, dear!
Spectre:....Whats everybody staring at?! Keep fighting!!!
Nobody makes a move...
Akasha:..Wait..I can use this pervert to my advantage...*leaps up to Alucards hand, then places the rosary on Moka* I'm sorry Moka, but the only way I can stop Alucard is to seal him from the inside...This rosary will protect you, your real self with be sleeping while this fake personality takes over you in the waking world. It will not only keep your blood from ever synchronizing with Alucard's, but it will also protect you....The only person who can remove the rosary is somebody who truly cares for you, and means you no harm.*begins to get sucked into Alucard's hand, being skewed by numerous tendrils, but not flinching*....Behave yourself , I love you...*consumed*
Moka:Mother!!!!
Spectre:Ugh, way to kill Mister Winky. *zipping noise* Whoops. I forgot...
Spectre leaps behind Moka and drives the focus point into the back of her head.
Moka:*screams in agony as blood erupts from her head*AAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAH!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!? IM ONLY TEN YEARS OLD MAN!! WHAT DID I DO TO YOU MAN? WHAT THE **** DID I EVER DO TO YOU?! *cries hysterically and blood gushes from her head as the nail dives deeper into her head* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!
Alucard retracts back into the basement to resume his eternal slumber, Moka lands roughly on the floor, she passes out.
Spectre:..........
Akuha:............
Spectre:So, weres your guardian? Or your aunt? I bet they would have been helpful to have around here.
Akuha:Wallace had a few things to attend to back at the United States, my aunt got sent away by Akasha....*shakes her head* But how do you know about that?! Furthermore who the hell are you and what did you do to my sister?! And why am I telling you this?
Spectre:Its a loooong story, one that you wont ever remember. Actually, it didnt really happen. Moka thinks it did, but not you.
Akuha:.....
Spectre:By the way, seen a purple Penguin around?
Akuha:Yeah, he was are servant. He just headed back home before all this happened.
Spectre:Huh. Whats your take on him?
Akuha:I dont know him personally. Seems like he has some form of undying hatred and misery he drowned in alchohol on a daily basis. Other than than, he got his chores done and never acted ill towards anybody around here. Father payed him really well, I dont see why he would be miserable.
Spectre:Ah.
Akuha:...So, who are you?
Spectre:*shrugs*
*BLANK*
Spectre arrives at another point in Mokas memories, she is sobbing and praying in front of an outdoor altar, the chairman is looking at her, alongside a priest.
Priest:...Its sad, she is praying and begging for a mother who she doesnt even know...
Mikogami:The rosary is working extremely well...Akaha must have put her soul into making that...Its almost as if she has been reborn and still protecting her daughter.
Priest:Do not worry about her, I will treasure her like my own child.
Spectre:*watching from the top of a steeple*.......The poor girl...Sort of reminds me of Popuri. Never knew her father...Hmm, guilt rising....*shakes his head* How could I have gone mad enough to murder what I could have considered a family I found after so many years of bitter alienation from mankind...Aaah...Its in the past..I could understand why these memories have been sealed. They seem so agonizingly painful...Perhaps its a mercy I cannot remember everything I've done and experienced as well....
The memory skips ahead, Moka is extremely upset, and is wrecking her room, the priest is trying to calm her, she eventually rebukes him and chases him off.
Moka:*breaking down* Mother..Help me..I dont know what I am...When I try to think about anything my heart is blank..Somebody..Help me.....Stay by my side!!
Spectre:.....I cant stand by and just watch this..
Spectre slowly walks behind Moka.
Spectre:Move on, little one. Your mother is closer than you know, even if you cannot remember her.....Little do you know, I am by your side. You wont realize it until many years from now. I may seem cold, or perhaps evil, and maybe even frightening, but know that you will have a friend in me. And protector. There will be other friends to. Who will show you compassion. And some jerks who show animosity because you annoy them, but they get a nasty verbal backlash for displaying double hypocricy and trying to cover it up as a "test". So dont worry about them! Nyahahahahhaa...But accept this kind priest's attempts to be a good father, and live your life knowing you are never truly alone. Moka...
Moka:Huh?*turns her head*.......
Spectre is gone...
Moka:.....
Outside
Touhou:Alright!! Moka's Rosary should fix itself soon. Thanks for the help, Spectre!....Spectre....?
Spectre:*awakens to see everything in red, in a dark area* Nnnngghh....*looks around, disoriented* Hmmm...Were am I....?
Spectre looks down at his hands, they're covered in blood, there is a half-eatenYuki Onna with a scream expression lying down in front of him.
Spectre:Oh...I wasnt expecting an awakening like this...*looks around, revealing himself to be in an alley* Talk about fast food...
Spectre voraciously begins to consume the Yuki Onna, reducing it to a skeleton in seconds.
Spectre:*licks himself zealously, removing nearly every trace of blood off of him, even eating the snow on the ground* Huh...Guess I just couldnt resist the coppery aroma even in comatose...
Mizore:*shocked*
Spectre:*darts his head in Mizores direction*Ahh...Oh dear...Well, I dont have much of an explanation, now do I....
Mizore:*steps back*Y-you...You were the one eating everybody...
Spectre:*darts his eyes around the area* Well...*snorts*...What does it look like to you?
Mizore:I thought you finally quit with the homicide!
Spectre:I did, but what can I say, we all have our cravings....Our needs...Its not like I want to kill without reason or anything...Its just one has to do what he can to survive. Hmm? *paces around Mizore, with his hands behind his back*
Mizore:*choking*Your a monster! Why would you do this?! And at such an important time for us?!
Spectre:Hmmm...Well....Cant teach a old dog new tricks I guess....Or totally break his habits...I cant help it if I have a taste for blood. *snaps*
Mizore:Your terrifying my people!
A scream is heard. There is a terrified Yuki-Onna standing over two corpses. Both have been brutally mauled down to the bloodied, veiny skeleton.
??:*snarls*
The Yuki Onna turns her head towards the source of the growl quickly, she screams after glancing at the figure.
??:*looks down*.......
Yuki-Onna:*backs away, terrified*
??: *stares at the Yuki-Onna*.........Lets....get this..Over with...
The figure lunges at the Yuki-Onna. She attempts to scream once more, but it is quickly and effectively cut off with a gruesome noise, It sounds similiar to an internal decaptiation.
Not suprisingly, the screaming has attracted the attention of the neighbors. The ruckus spreads as more Yuki Onna come to check in on the ordeal. They find nothing around the area besides a few footprints. That of the Yuki-Onna, and a pair that seem to belong to something inhuman, the tracks are hastily made and the snow has tampered with them greatly. The Snow Priest is at the scene, inspecting it.
Snow Priest:Hmmm...*looks at the prints*...*glaces around the area.*
Yuki Onna male:Priest, that was my wife screaming just now, she went out just now to take in a bit of sunshine..
Snow Priest:...*glances at the tracks*.....This is unusual...
SS:Whats "unusual"?
Snow Priest:...There appears to be some evidence of a fast, but noticable struggle.
SS:Huh....
Yuki Onna Male: Theres hardly sign of them! Theres not even a mess! But what the hell are these footprints?!
Spectre:*walks out of the Yuki-Onna household, angrily. It appears he has cleaned his face* Whats with all of the commotion out here?
Nightmare:Yay! Spectres feeling better!
Spectre:*yawns*Just a bit..
SS:Thought ya were in a coma there, mate.
Spectre:Meh. The noise out here is so loud it could wake the dead.
SS:Looks like someones been kidnapped.
Yuki Onna female:Now that you mention it, My husband was out walking with his friend last night...He hasnt come back yet.
Snow Priest:*has a look of concern on his face* Theres nothing much we can do now...Either there are some kidnappers among us, or we are being abducted by an outside source. This problem will remain under investigation, The city has been built up well. We should all focus on building a wall to surround us now. That way it will keep the perpetrator in, or out. Either way, it should eliminate or simplify the problem.
The Yuki Onna talk among eachother for a moment, they appear unnerved.
Snow Priestess: The Nyudon preparations have gone on very well so far, near completion. However, we should follow the Snow Priests reccomendation. That way the criminal will not be able to escape, or sneak in again. This matter will be looked into until the criminal is found and brought to justice. Lets try to divert our minds off of this and focus on construction. This scene will be off limits until further notice.
The citizens mutter, they go to work on building a thick wall around the city quickly after the meeting. The victims kin are slower to act, but they nonetheless begin working. The Snow Priest and Priestess head towards the large spire situated in the middle of the city.
Spectre:..This is eerie.
SS:Your tellin' me. First Moka gets nearly disemboweled, Vimm has contacted me about maimed Fairy Tale grunts, and now this?
Nightmare:Ohhhh! Can we have a whodunit mystery?
Spectre:Way too much stress. Not really anybody here who would slaughter Yuki Onnas for no apparent reason, cept maybe whatever tried to chop up Moka.
Nightmare:...*narrows her eyes* Your being verrrrrry suspicious...
Spectre:*annoyed*...Shadow. Lusterageous butterfly squid-
SS:*panics after having a flashback* Uhhhh- Nightmare, how about you go point fingers at someone else, hmmmm?
Nightmare: But-
SS:*eyes widen and become extremly bloodshot after another flashback* HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?! *face-splitting grin*
Nightmare:O-ok...*sulks off*
Spectre:Bit annoying, but I must admit I do find a cute element in her inquisitve nature. *looks around the area* Once again, another vacation gone to hell in a handbasket...Probably aint even got there yet.
SS:With how gritty these deaths are being described as, I find it hard to believe whatever-did-this would just stash em away somewere. Did a damn good job at cleaning up evidence to. Nothing besides these screwed up footprints.
Spectre:I guess so. Better scoot before the authorities get onto us...
The two walk off from the scene.
Spectre:...Hey Shadow.
Shadow:What?
Spectre:*grins and pats him on the head* I just noticed how short you and Vimm are!!!!!(Is approximately 6'0)
SS:Oh hardy-fucking har....I just noticed how much your "tremendous" body has to work to support itself by sacrificing blood flow to your brain. You mean you JUST noticed that? After how long weve known eachother?
Spectre:*poorly imitated French accent* Touche, Napoleon. Touche. Hohohoho!
SS:Alright smartass...
Meanwhile, in the city temple.
Snow Priest:First I get the reports of slaughtered Fairy Tale thugs, now this happens..
Snow Priestess: It seems those creatures are upon us.
Snow Priest:Usually they are relentless and very messy in their killings. Im suspecting something else may be responsible...*strokes beard* I know they would take it sort of easy on attacking our city, due to its large size and our strange guests, but they wouldnt try to dispose of the evidence.
Snow Priestess:I see.
Snow Priest:We will bring whoever commited this crime to justice, however, we need to get the walls built up. We will be attacked by the creatures soon. They are wary, but not cowardly. They will inevitably attack.
Snow Priestess: Do you think we can get the walls built up by then?
Snow Priest:Even at the rate they're working now, i dont think we can fully fortify the city in time..
Snow Priestess:..*eyes widen* Hey, I got an idea..I think I saw a Chinese boy following them around...And they brought along a young witch with them, Yukari. She is supposedly one of the top geniouses in the school, and at only 13 years of age.
Snow Priest:Wait..*strokes beard* Chinese boy...Genious loli...Thats it, Priestess, you very well may have saved us! Let us make haste to these youths.
The two head out to the city.
Near the shopping district.
Fanfan:*sighs*
Yukari:Whats wrong?
Fanfan:Why do I get the feeling they just brought me along for the hell of it? I've had almost NO dialogue since we got here.
Yukari:You will get use to it. This is my second year at the academy. I've practically been a ghost the entire time desu..*twitch*
Fanfan:How can you stand it?! Were people just like the rest of them! WHY DO THEY ACT LIKE WE DONT EXIST!?
Yukari:Perhaps we will be involved in a scenario soon...
Fanfan:Also, whats with the "desu twitch"?
Yukri:I abhor saying it, desu..*twitch* But the phrase is built into my brain.I cannot help it! Theres no point in me saying it though, since I never get to talk with anyone much...*sighs* I though I had found friends for life when I joined their group, now I'm back to being lonely again....Being smart sucks. Why is it that girls with the low grade average or mental problems get all the attention!? Mizore doesnt know the difference between addition and subtraction, and I mean that LITERALLY!! And Kurumu...Well..Agh...Then you got Kokoa, but I think she might do alright if she didnt have so many complex's!
Fanfan:I guess its true what they say, empty head, full breasts...
Yukari:But breasts dont have anything to do with it!!! Were in Japan!....Maybe its because of my hair color. Maybe I should dye it green?
Fanfan:Who would that appeal to?
Yukari:I dont know...But I think the secret is in the hair...
??:Aw, thats not true.
Spectre walks over.
Yukari:*angry tone*Ah, if it isnt Spectre...
Fanfan:What do you want?
Spectre:It doesnt have anything to do with hair color...Well, not in my case. Though I must admit, I do like redheads. Tends to speed up the pocess.
Yukari:...But isnt Kokoas hair bright orange?
Spectre:Nope. She dyes it for some reason. Dont know why...
Yukari:How do you know...?
Spectre:Hotel. Running around in a towel in the middle of a large hotel, Crazy cat lady teacher. two students hospitalized from blood loss....My pupils shrunk to the size of a needle tip.
Yukari: ._.
Spectre:Yes, I couldnt believe it myself at first. ".*twitch*..A...*twitch*...Amazing....Just..I..In...incredible...I....Is my mind playing tricks on me?! N...no...its for real...Im absolutely positive......."
Fanfan:Thats a...Disturbing story, Spectre....TELL US MORE!!!!
Spectre:No...Anyway, to get back on topic, it isnt the hair 40% of the time, and 98% of the time it isnt grade average, 62% of the time it isnt cleavage, but I can tell you, that 90% of the time, its the personality! The more complex, extreme, eerie, ferocious, and or morbid it is the better!
Yukari:*taking notes* Uh-huh..Please continue, desu...
Spectre:Atleast thats what eastern males like. And a good chunk of western virgins. Typically ranging from ages 10-30....I get my motor running from aggressive females, but I will only persue them if they are kind...
Yukari:Any other advice?
Spectre:..No, not in particular.*walks off*
Yukari:Ok...Maybe I should forsake my academic success to become a psychopathic and highly beloved ditz!.....
Fanfan:....How about not?
Yukari:I was being sarcastic. I'll change my hairdo at the most.
Fanfan:Oh.
The Snow Priest and Priestess walk over.
Snow Priest:Hello there.
Fanfan:...Hi?
Snow Priest:I've come to ask you two for a favor...
Fanfan/Yukari:Huh?
Snow Priest:Our citizens need to build a great wall surrounding the city before the morrow, so we wont lose the criminal who has been performing the kidnappings.
Yukari:So what are you proposing..?
Snow Priest:We need you to be an architect to build our wall, and we need Fanfan to..
Fanfan:*suddenly looks very pissed* Ooooooooooh nooooooo way in hell! Nuh-uh!
Snow Priest:but I didnt even say-
Fanfan:Im NOT going to build a wall for you people! I cant build walls damn it!!! I've never built a wall in my entire life! *begins talking in an unbearably thick chinese accent* I no build shitty wahh for you people, even If I cood build wahh! I no stereotype!
Snow Priest:Please, Fanfan Wong, I implore you to awaken your proud chinese blood and build us a great wall! I am not stereotyping you, I am merely requesting that you lend us the abilities of your great race! Only you can build us a wall great enough to keep anything in and out!
Fanfan:....Awight...I admit..*loses the accent* .....Ever since before I was born, i built walls. My mother complained at birth about having to deliver a "bag of bricks" and "cement". And a bunch of blueprints with me...And pencils...And clay....And a polearm...And some *accent* FOCKING MONGORIENS!!! *loses accent* She still has scars.
Snow priest/Priestess/Yukari:...........*twitch*...*twitch*
Fanfan:...Im serious! Just ask her! Or father! Its amazing how she retained that figure! She couldnt have anymore kids after it though. Complications with some remaining cement,clogged up some important machinery. Father also had a bad run in with the cement-
the three look extremely disturbed.
Fanfan:..Either way, i guess we ought to get started before I scar you guys more than I already have!
Snow Priest:Excellent! Thank you both so much.
Fanfan:*accent* Les get dis shitty wahh biwt!
Yukari begins drawing bluprints, whilst Fanfan does the building. The wall begins to rise at pace with the others being constructed with the Yuki Onna population.
Outside the village, in a Mongolian encampment.
Mongolian:*spying* Hes building a wall again...
Mongolian2: What should we do, commander Shan-Yu?
A heavily built chinaman with pale purple skin, long black hair with a bald top, and a violent looking falcon perched on his arm approaches.
Shan Yu:.....
Are you ready?!
Shan Yu:Alright men, it seems the Wong boy still hasnt learned from the lesson we gave him back when he was an embryo.
suddenly a map of the area appears, Fanfan is a red flag over at the wall construction site, the Mongolians are a blue flag over in the mountains.
Shan Yu:Hes currently building a wall, i dont know why. But its our sworn duty as huns to tear it down! Heres the plan, we will charge a full frontal assault and tear down the wall everytime he tries to build it! Pissing him off and annoying him to no end!
Mongolian:...Thats it?
Shan Yu:Yes!
Mongolian:Will he spawn endless amounts of generic soldiers to combat us?
Shan Yu:Who knows or cares? Anyway, just run in, tear down the wall, and run like hell! Rinse and repeat if he keeps on building it!
Mogolians:*shrug*
Shan Yu:Alright men, MOVE OUT!
The music stops.
Fanfan has a huge, solid wall halfway built.
Yukari:Looking good Fanfan! You really are good at building walls!
Fanfan:Indeed!..BUT ITS NOT BECAUSE IM CHINESE!!!! I just-
*rumble*
Fanfan:...No...
Yukari:Whats wrong..
Fanfan:...They're back...*accent* *yells down* STUPID MONGORIANS!! STOP TEARING DOWN MAH SHITTY WAHH!!!
Mongolians:*continue to harass the wall, causing it to shrink*
The wall tumbles, sending Fanfan flying onto the ground.
The mongolians retreat, laughing heartily in victory.
Fanfan:*gets up*
Yukari:Who were they?
Fanfan:Mongoriens...
Yukari:"Mongolians"?
Fanfan:*loses the accent* Thats what I said!..They wont beat me this time! I wont chicken out and quit after the mere 326th time like I did last time!!!
Yukari:Ok....
Fanfan:They wont stop until I break..Well...Im not breaking this time! Our weakness was that the wall was too thin, they bashed it down! Design a thicker one!
Yukari:O-ok...*works on a blueprint*
Meanwhile, at the crime site.
Spectre:*strolls along*...*examines the area*...Hmmm...
Theres a small patch of bloodstained snow.
Spectre:..*looks down at it*....*widens his eyes*
Spectre picks it up in his hand, it looks at it with a look of concern in his eyes.
Spectre:*darts eyes slowly*...*eats the snow* Mmm..Not bad...
Spectre heads off into the city, hanging around the Shirayuki household incase he gets tired.
SS: ... What?
Fanfan: Mongorians tore down mah shitty wahh!
SS: ... What?
Yukari: The Yuki-onna want a wall built to keep whatever's killing them out.
SS: I dunno. Something tells me that if ya build a wall, it's only gonna get worse.
Yukari: And Mongolians tore down his shitty wall.
SS: Ah. *Becomes demon form* I was getting bored. *Scrapes claws and charges, as do Nightmare and Fsoi*
Nightmare: Yay! Fighty time! *Stabs a mongol in the midsection and tears the blade up, cutting his torso in half*
Fsoi: *Allows herself a small smile* Right. *Crouches and readies one of her claws behind her* Kaze...
Mongol: She's going to do Ken kaze! Get ready!
All mongols defend the side her attacking hand is
Fsoi: ... YARI! (Spear) *Stabs and four spears of wind fly from her claws, tearing through the mongols*
Mongol: *With a gaping hole through his head* C... cheaterrrr *Dies*
SS: *Blocks two mongols weapons, grabs them, uses them to lift himself, slashes one across the throat and stabs the other through the heart with the claws on his feet* Not as many as the Miu, but still fun.
Shan Yu: How can this be happening?! The little Chinaman actually has allies? And powerful ones at that?! *Hears something behind him and turns around*
Vimm: *Towering above him in gorgon form* ... What do you think?
...
Vimm: Alright, I'll give up for the day. *Readies the wyvern* And you'll still get your meal.
Falcon: *Screeches* ... ? *Looks to the side of it to see a familiar black cat*
Loki: *Hisses and lunges*
There is a chicken-like squark, a cloud of feathers and silence.
Vimm: *Stabs Shan Yu through the heart and neck quickly with the other end, slashes him across the chest, forcing him to stagger back, quickly knocks him off his feet with his tail, spins the weapon above his head and stabs him through the head between the eyes, nearly splitting it open* *Tries to remove it* ... *Switches to Human form, plants his foot on his throat and pulls, releasing it* Feeling better?
...
Vimm: *Sighs* I'm going, I'm going. You'll get those modifications already, just be patient!
SS: *Disappears in front of a mongol, reappears just above him, lands feet-first on his shoulders and stabs him in the base of the neck before flipping off the corpse* Why do ya have a psionic weapon then?
Vimm: Because I cant use psionics. I liked the idea of reading minds and stuff like that, but I couldn't. So I forged the White Wy-
...
Vimm: It IS a name! I can't really call you White or Wyvern can I?! I named you that because you go all out against wyverns and I'm bleached! Is that so hard to understand?!
...
Vimm: You're right. I could use the modifications as much as you. Excuse me. *Pushes past his siblings* Alright, but I'm checking on Specter immediately afterwards! *Walks face-first into Fanfans new wall* Now why the hell is this here?! *Blows a hole big enough to walk through in it*
Fanfan: AAAAAH! Wha da fook You doing?! Why you break my shitty wahh?!
Vimm: *Hits him in the face with one of his emergency tonfa* Shuddup kid.
Fanfan:....*grumbles angry chinese, then goes under the wall, completely repairing the damage Vimm has done in mere minutes*
SS:...I gotta admit, I've never seen anyone build that good who didnt have supernatural powers to help them.
Fanfan:I JUST HAD LOTS OF PRACTICE!!! *accent* I NO STEREOTYPE!! Not all chinese can build such a gweat shitty wahh!
SS:We get it!
Fanfan:*loses accent* Ok, yukari. What ne-....Yukari?.....*accent*Weres mah shitty architect!?* cusses in chinese*
meanwhile, at a hair saloon.
Generic Yuki Onna Stylist:Ok...So what color do you want to dye your hair?
Yukari:Green! The color of intelligence desu! *twitch*
Stylist:Ok, and what hairstyle would you like?
Yukari:..Huh?
Stylist:Color doesnt mean a thing if theres no unkempt, strange, or outright weird or possibly offensive style to go with it.
Yukari:Ok, so what styles do you have?
Stylist:Well we have the Snooki, the Fallen Angel, the Onryo, the She-Fro, the Double Pony-Tails, the Domestic Goddess, the Yami, the Shonen, the Saiyan, the Spikey Angst....
Yukari:Boring. Do you have any special menus?
Stylist:..That depends, you with the government?
Yukari:No..
Stylist:Alright then, but when anybody asks, you didnt get the hairstyle from me...*reaches into a drawer after pulling off about a dozen locks, and pulls out a pitch-back menu* Here we have what we like to call "novelty" hairstyles...*opens and holds it in front of Yukari*
Yukari:*eyes widen*....*blood runs from her nose* I want the Party-Hat, Desu!!!!
Stylist:*disturbed look* Ugh...Ok...The Party Hat it is..Just to let you know, you may wanna wear your hat over it rather forcefully when in public..
Yukari:Ok! Lay it on me! *lies back in the barber chair*
The stylist puts on a pair of goggles, and raises a machine down onto Yukari's head, beginning her cranial transformation....Electricity and fire sparks from the machine, Yukari vibrates in her chair from the shock.
The machine rises, fog fills the room..
Styllist:its alive...ITS ALIVE!!! You look wonderful! Its an entirely new you!!!*hands her a mirror*
Yukari:*looks into the mirror*..*gasps in delight* its..its..Perfect!! *blood geisers from nose*
Yukari puts her hat on before the fog clears.
Yukari:Thanks alot!
Stylist:No problem. Actually, your the only person I've been able to test this on. So consider that your payment..Now leave, I must make adjustments to the machine!
Yukari:Will do! *proudly walks out of the saloon* (I get the impression that whatever it is may lead to her untimely and highly amusing death. Not like she has any part in the topic anyway. -SS)
Spectre:*Leaning on the Shirayuki household with his arms crossed and eyes closed*
Vimm:Hey, Spectre.
Spectre:*wearily opens on eye towards Vimm* Mmmm?
Vimm:How are ya feeling?
Spectre:Eh. I guess I'll live. Its an improvement.*shakes head* Anyway, werent you getting some modifications or something?
Vimm:I was just worried about you so I stopped by.
Spectre:Well, thank you very much. I'm glancing around the place, theres nothing much else I feel like doing.
Vimm:Ok.
Yukari:Hey guys~
Spectre:Hm?
Vimm:Oh hey there...Uhhh.......You?
Yukari:Very funny Desu...Lets see if you remember my name now that I have a much more unique...HAIRDO!!*lifts up her hat*
Spectre:*widens his eyes*
Vimm:*psycho theme plays as he yells hysterically* GREEN!!! GREEEN!!!! GREEEEEEEEEN!!!!!! Yukari-chans hair is GREEEEEEEEN!!!
Spectre:*whines loudly and holds his head in pain* Gyaaahh...I suppose you were too distracted by the color to notice the phallic imagery?
Vimm:Phalla-what?
Yukari has walked off.
Spectre:Nothing..
Vimm:Yukari looked oddly cuter for some reason today that usual...
Spectre:Really? No shit...*shifts eyes away from Vimm*
Vimm:Hmmm....
Meanwhile, a good distance from the village.
A nomadic tribe of about 20 Yuki-Onna are walking towards the polar star.
Tribal leader:The polar star shines again, just as it did in the days of old. So its finally time for us to unite.
Member:About time to...Its been difficult maintaining a good bloodline.
The tribe walks along until they walk past a Yuki-Onna cemetery. All the snow is melted, revealing brown, decaying grass underneath. The ice-crafted graves retain some shape, but they appear to be melting as well. The plants around the area are dying.
Leader:.......
Member2:Leader, what's the matter..?
Leader:Theres something wrong with this area. Im going to take a look...You all wait out here..
Member3:This isnt going to end well. It never ends well when shit like this goes down....
Member:Your being paranoid, what could go wrong on such a momentous occasio-
*scream comes from the cemetary*
Member:Told you so..
Leader:Grah, its alright. Just a damned spider...This area seems to have...bugs around.
Member2:..What the hell is a bug?
Leader:They're kinda like fairies, only smaller, dumber, and some of them are quite crunchy. Sometimes slimey, or chewy. They dont live around these parts because they cant stand the cold.
Member4:I want to see a bug!
The leader throws a worm at member4.
Member4:*catches it*...Ooooh! It has a most pleasant texture! *looks as the worm squirms throughout his fingers*....*orgasmic sigh* Hey, you guys gotta try this ****!
The members begin passing the worm around, taking turns having it squirm between their fingers. They act like they're sharing a bottomless cup of LSD.
Leader:*looks around the cemetary*...*eyes widen, and gets a look of agonizing pain in his eyes*........*collapses onto the ground*
Member4:Hey, we need to name this little guy. *looks at the worm*
Member5:How about Wormy?
Member10:Thats a damn fine name!
Member11:Ok...Leader are you rea-
The Yuki Onna glance upon the figure of their leader lying on the ground. He appears to be in a coma of sorts.
The split second they look, an extremely pale hand is seen rapidly retracting its grip on his leg, and heading back into the ground.
Member:Leader!!!
The members pick up their unconcious leader, they rapidly head towards the Polar Star.
Vimm: Well, I need to make some modifications.
Specter: Okay. See you.
Vimm: Bye. *Leaves for his personal workshop* ... What the hell?!
The workshop is completely destroyed
...!
Vimm: *Checks* Calm down, I can still make them. *Begins working*
later;
Vimm: *Spits poison in a small vial, inserts it in the pole and screws on the scythe blade* There we go.
...?
Vimm: A technique I thought of. It's the most potent poison I can make. I even gave it a name.
...?
Vimm: No, I'm not telling you the name. I'm saving it for a fight. Probably Wallace.
... ..
Vimm: Talkative today aren't you? No, it isn't english, it's spanish.
...?!
Vimm: What? Fsoi's already got Japanese, Shadow's thinking of German, French sucks, and I like Spanish!
..?
Vimm: Italian sucks too.
.
Vimm: FUCK YOU! Seriously, you've got to be the most annoying psionic weapon ever! Of all time!
...
Vimm: *Sighs* Yes, you change. And you're my favourite weapon, but you're still a jackass. *Starts to leave* ... *Looks at some marks on a wall* *Eyes widen* Oh shit. *Runs*
Spectre:*yawns and looks around* Looks like the walls are rising. *shakes his head* I suppose theres nothing much to do but sleep...
Spectre leaps into the window of the Shirayuki house, arriving in the bedroom.
Spectre:*notices a figure by Moka's bed* *narrows eyes and growls fericly*
Touhou:("Yoda" form)Oh! Spectre! I didnt see you there.
Spectre:What the hell are you doing here?!
Touhou:I just had to make a few more fixes to Moka's rosario. *is examining the rosary with his magnifying glass* All the ruckus with the Mius made me forget some vital steps.
Spectre:So you just sped on in here uninvited?
Touhou:I informed Mizores parents about what I needed to do, they invited me to stay. It will take a while to repair this damage.
Spectre:Hmmmm...Very well.
Touhou:You dont seem like yourself, Spectre. How are you feeling?
Spectre:Hmm..*humorously* Ugly as the third circle of hell, tired, sick, fatigued, a bit of a curmudgeon.
Touhou:Interesting. Are you up for a bit of rosary diving?
Spectre:Huh?
Touhou:Its the darndest thing, some of the fixes I need to make to the rosario need to happen internally. I've figured out a way to get you out of there. It may make your head ache a bit, Scryer was a bit crazy after using the escape technique on him back in China.
Spectre:Insane, sadistic, Didnt seem too out of the norm besides a bit more common sense and willingness to talk. I suppose I'll be fine. I wouldnt mind be a little bit active, actually.
Touhou:Well thats grand! Also, remember to abstain from being seen. It could muddle Moka's memories a bit. Dont worry too much about your health getting worse, the inactivity of your body might actually help you relax.
Spectre:I will.
Touhou:Alright. Stand back and I'll get started. *places a pair of candles with pure blue fire, and a talisman in the center of them* Stand over her, please. And pull over another bed.
Spectre pulls over a bed next to Moka's, he leans over her rosary.
Touhou:Im going to make it so the beams of absorbing light arent so widespread. Cant have me getting sucked in, it might make complications...*begins chanting*
Moka's rosary shines, Spectre is hit with a beam of light, his pupils retract as he goes unconcious and he falls back onto the bed he pulled up.
Touhou:Alright...Lets see how you do...*puts a crystal ball directly in front of the talisma, an image of Spectre lying on a cliff is seen, which is replaced my static* Oh come on!!! *smacks the crystal ball* I really need to get one of the plasma glass crystal balls. These 1982 models arent worth a shit! I hope he can wait until I can head on over to the nearest Best Buy and get one.*hops off*
Inside Moka's soul.
Spectre:*growls*...*pulls himself up and looks around* Hmmm...Not bad, my body feels lighter here...Now what do I do?.....Touhou? TOUHOU?!.......Damn...I hope hes right about being able to pull me out of here...*turns his head, observing the area*...Its actually fairly quiet here...*leaps up into a tree, viewing the Shuzen estate, it appears to be in the later evening*...Not nearly as many cars here as I recall last time..
Spectre makes his way towards the Shuzen estate, quickly yet stealthily. He carefully observes the area, keeping an eye out for anybody who could see him. Judging by the appearance of the fauna, it is around Autumn time.
He arrives at the front of the castle, he bolts into a tree and spies around the area.
Kahlua is sweeping leaves off the porch, humming a cheerful tune.
Spectre:*mutters*Hm. Younger Kahlua. You wouldnt expect the daughter of the head Shuzen to be doing chores...
Kahlua:Its not a chore, I just love keeping things tidy!
Spectre:*freezes up* Damn...She has good senses...
Kahlua:Whats with the language? I dont really like cussing. *sweeps some more leaves off*
Spectre:*coughs, changing the tone of his voice* Umm, yes. I'm sorry. I'm just in a bad mood today. I'm a squirrel, a magical, talking vampire squirrel, you see. And some pesky crow got into my knothole and spilt all of my acorns.
Kahlua:Thats sad...Can I help you?
Spectre:No, no my dear. Just keep sweeping the filth off of your beautiful castle.
Kahlua:Yeah...It is pretty, isnt it? We have our servant to thank for that.
Spectre:Servant?
Kahlua:Hes such a hard worker, but he seems so sad all of the time. He kinda looks like a rockhopper penguin.
Spectre:Huh....
Kahlua:He does almost everything by himself, and with such efficiency. Its suprising with how much he drinks.
Spectre:......Thats..Very sweet of you. Have you ever spent time with him?
Kahlua:I tried to talk to him before, but he doesnt ever talk much. He just goes about his chores, then locks himself up in his room at night. The only people he ever talks to is my step mother Akasha and my father Issa, mainly just to get his list of chores. He might also talk to some of the other vampires if he is directed to them.
Spectre:I see.
Kahlua:I like to think I'm helping him by doing some of the cleaning, but I hardly do anything compared to what he does.
Spectre:Every little bit helps. I bet it helps him stress less, if only by a little bit.
Kahlua:Thank you..Hey, could you come down, I'd like to make eye contact when I talk...
Spectre:(Oh..What am I doing..)....Alright but, truth be told im not exactly a squirrel...Promise me you wont be disturbed by my appearance...
Kahlua:I promise..But why?
Spectre crawls down the tree and stands upright.
Kahlua:..Oh...I see...
Spectre:Well then...What do you think?
Kahlua:*shakes her head* You dont sound that bad. I dont think you should judge someone by their outer appearances.
Spectre:Thank you very much, your awfully kind for a vampire.
Kahlua:I know alot of us can be egostistical, mainly because there is hardly ever a yokai that can defeat us. But I know there are some out there...Alot of others do to. So while were a bit of a minority, not all vampires have their noses that high in the air.
Spectre:Those are wise words, coming from somebody so young.
Kahlua:Thank you. Say, you kind of remind me of our servant. Your eyebrows look alot like his head crest.
Spectre:I see. That is interesting.
Kahlua:Hey, how would you like to meet my sisters?
Spectre:The offer is tempting, but I think I will pass..
Kahlua:Well, ok....But why?
Spectre:I need to leave this area very soon. I dont want to have to make any painful goodbyes. Actually, i'd better run off right now...*leaps over to the tree, then jumps into the forest*
Kahlua:Wait!! You didnt even tell me your name...
The sounds of a car rolling in can be heard.
Kahlua:Huh....*smiles waves cheerfully*
Moka runs out of the door, followed by Akasha, who is walking.
A large limosine parks next to the house. Akuha steps out of one of the back seats.
Moka:Akuha!!
Akuha:Moka!!
The two run to eachother and hug.
Akuha:I've missed you sooooo much!!! How are you doing? Are you feeling well?
Moka:*being crushed by Akuhas grip* *coughs* Im..Im fine...Geez...How are you?
Akuha:Im great! Now that Im near you again~
theres suddenly a savage roar, an enormous shadow looms over Moka.
Moka:*screams*
Akasha:*prepares to leap*
Akuha:STOP IT!!!
Wallace:*has his fist over Mokas head while gritting his teeth with an almost psychotic, rage filled expression*....
Akuha:If you hurt her...I'm going to kill you..
Wallace:...*slowly brings his fist back*.....*steps back*
Belladonna(retains her appearance from the previous "soul dive":*steps out of the other side of the limosine* Dont be hard on him Akuha, he just thinks Moka was trying to hurt you.
Akuha:I know, but..
Belladona:It will take time for him to tell apart hugging from strangling. Hes been through alot of trauma...
Akasha:....
Belladonna:Hello Akasha. Your looking fine this time...
Akasha:Well, thank you. Same to you....Looks like the "hunt" went well...I didnt think there were any men so tremendous.
Belladonna:Yes. had to go all the way to the United States to find him. The poor man was found shot nearly dead in the back of an alley, probably from some huge firefight. Had more holes in him than a sponge, im suprised he was breathing. I'm not sure why Akuha picked him off the street out of all the candidates we looked over...Scanned nearly every civilized country of some of the most exemplary human specimens, and she picks this fellow. I wont go against her wishes though.
Wallace:....*looks at Moka with a look of regret on his face*..I...I'm...Sorry....
Moka:Its ok..*holds out her hand* I'm Moka..
Wallace:.....
Akuha:Go ahead. Just be gentle.
Wallace nervously shakes Mokas hand with his thumb and index finger.
Moka:*smiles lightly* Whats your name?
Wallace:*does the same*.......
Akuha:Tell her your name.
Wallace: Wallace...
Akasha:He's acting kind of strange.
Belladonna:Akuha didnt do the siring procedure exactly right. I think she got nervous and messed up. Even so, he is displaying unsurpassed loyalty and love like he should. So I would call it a success...Even though hes displaying a nature like that of a ghoul to some extent, hes been controlling it extremely well. We didnt even have to use the rosary restraint...He has been a huge pain to feed though. We can almost never get enough blood, I've spent a fortune at the Red Cross. Fortunatly his appetite should lessen after some time has passed.
Akuha:I'm going to go inside and help Wallace get acquainted with the household.
Belladonna:You do that dear.
Akuha:*smiles and waves as she walks into the house with Moka and Wallace*
Spectre:"Sired"? So that monster is some kind of ghoul or vampire?..Blast, Touhou should have contacted me by now. Were is that prune?
At Best Buy.
Clerk:Hello sir, how may I help you?
Touhou:I'm looking to buy a new crystal ball, my old one broke down. I've been wanting one of those high definition plasma orb balls that let you send text messages.
Clerk:Ah, I believe I have what you want. Horizon has recently released the new SoulBowl. Plasma orbed high definition crystal ball that can dive over 8998 miles into the realm of spirits and translate over 100 known undead dialects, it also comes with an unlimited call and text plan for $59.99 a month. The down payment for the ball itself is $25,000. After the initial purchase you will owe 10 payments of $800.95.
Touhou:What the hell?! Who has that kind of money?! And furthermore, why are you selling this stuff for U.S currency in a supernatural asian area?!
Clerk:Sorry sir,Its an American branch. I know it doesnt make much sense, but its store policy.
Touhou:Grah...Screw that then. It aint even worth it, my crystal ball could dive over 25,000 miles into the spirit world and it hardly cost me anything compared to this.
Clerk:Sorry sir, but the HD plasma orb and texting ability is very costly.
Touhou:But why would you invest so much time and technology into making that if it decreases its capacity to fullfill its actual purpose?!
Clerk:Sorry sir, but its business, it has to keep up with the times. Nowadays teenagers dont want to go in depth with spirit stuff, they just wanna contact some freaky "next door" spirit for their weird little ouija and seance things. Nowadays crystal balls are used to socialize with poor grammar and play weird little modern-retro mini games on.
Touhou:Ugh, kids today! Well can you atleast fix mine?
Clerk:Sure sir, I'll have the Geek Squad stop by your house later and help you out.
Touhou:Thank you! *leaves*
back in the memory.
Spectre:*glancing through one of the windows of the Shuzen Household*
Issa:So, Akuha..This is the man you sired.
Akuha:Yes, father.
Issa:*narrows his eyes* This man is not a vampire....Is he...A ghoul?
Akuha:I made a mistake when trying to sire him..
Issa:He is a flawed example of a vampire. This is unnacceptable.
Akuha:But father-
Issa:However, seeing as the situation is accidental, I'm going to give him a chance. I will welcome him into the family, after he proves himself to be an asset.
Wallace:...*gets a nervous look and steps behind Akuha*
Issa:He looks timid. He will not last long in a castle of demons if he cant even develop a solid attitude.
Moka:Dont be nervous, if father is going to test you he must have faith in you!
Wallace:*darts his eyes to everyone in the room nervously*
Issa:I have received reports of intruders on our property. Normally I would have them removed immediately, but I'm going to give you an opportunity to display your worth. They were last seen approaching the estate up one of the mountain paths, near the forest. Go forth and destroy them, and prove your loyalty and power.
Wallace:...*doesnt move*
Issa:I said "go"...
Akuha:Listen to his order, Wallace.
Wallace:....*steps out of the house nervously, and stomps his way towards the area*
Issa:Hmm...
Moka:I hope this doesnt stress him too much. He looks scared..
Issa:If he is worthy of being a vampire, then he will be fine.
Akuha:Could I go along with him?
Moka:I want to go to!
Issa:*glares at the girls* Very well. However, your lives will be in his hands.
Moka/Akuha:.....
Akuha:We'll be back shortly, with Wallace. And he will bring along the crushed heads of our foes.
Issa:*laughs* Then go, I wont keep you.
The two girls set off after Wallace, maintaining a distance. Spectre stalks him as well.
Spectre:Curious...
Wallace:*slowly turns his head towards Spectre's tree*
Spectre:*silent*
Wallace:*stomps onward*
Outside.
Touhou is back in the bedroom, a member of the geek squad is looking at his crystal ball.
Geek Squad member:Alright then...This is a really old model, wheres it from?
Touhou:I've had it for over 2 centuries.
GSM:Uh huh. Well, I cant really work with this, theres no plug in...
Touhou:You dont plug it into the wall!
GSM:This thing is wireless?!
Touhou:Yes! You could say that.
GSM:Geez, who would've guessed such an old model would have the technology to be wireless...
Touhou:Yes..
GSM:Ok..So...I've never worked with this model before in my life....
Touhou:*facepalm* Just muck around with it until we pick up a signal!
GSM:Right..*opens a tiny compartment in the side* Wow at the wires...Hey...i think I found your problem.
Touhou:Huh?
GSM:..Theres a doujinshi clogged up in the wires....
Touhou:!!!! Oh yeah!! Thanks for the service young man, I'll send a check. *eagerly shoves him out*
Touhou shuts the door behind him and goes over to the crystal ball, he reaches into the side compartment and pulls out a dirty-looking doujinshi. The crystal ball springs to life.
Touhou:Ooooohoohohoooo! Excellent!...I was wondering were I put this! I havent seen it in YEARS! Now that I think about it, I believe I shoved it in there to avoid being caught red-handed by a fellow Wong who stepped into the room at the wrong time..hehehe...*begins looking through it* Oooooh....*reaches his hand down into the robe and moves it around* Splash Woman~
In the memory..
Spectre:*muttering to himself* Whats taking that old man so long?!
Wallace:*stomping around the mountain path, keeping an eye out for intruders*...
Spectre:One would almost not recognize this goliath from his current temprament..He seems like a lost and confused child..
Wallace:*stares down the mountain path intently* *growls nervously*
Suddenly a storm of bayonet-like blades beams from the fog and impales Wallace throughout the chest, stomach, and head.
Wallace:*screams in shock and staggers back*
Three sillouettes approach through the fog, as they amerge they appear to be tall, and well toned human males. They wear black, unbuttoned cassocks with a white trim. Neither are particularly unique in appearance.
Moka:Oh no!! Wallace!
Akuha:*narrows her eyes* How dare they..Moka, head back to the mansion!
Moka:No! Not without you! We ask father to take care of it!
Akuha:*depressed look* They killed my first guardian, Moka..Im not going to let them get away with it!
Akuha sinks into the ground..
Moka:*hides behind a bush* Be careful...They look strong...
Warrior Priest:It appears we have felled one of the heathenous beasts.
Warrior Priest2: A remarkably powerful one, two. It should be easy crumbling this castle of devils.
Akuha rises behind them and Jigen's two of the through their skulls with her fingers, then uses her leg to stab into the center one and slash him in half from stomach to the right shoulder.
The three fall and Akuha steps away, covered in their blood.
She swiftly runs over to Wallace.
Akuha:*walks over to his head*....*frowns* You werent the bravest..But you were my knight...*rubs his forehead, which is punctured by Bayonets*My protector...I chose you out of millions...You were the only one I wanted...
Moka:Akuha...*walks over* Im sorry.
Akuha:*Hugs Moka* I dont want to sire another guardian..I didnt like anybody else....
Moka:He was really strong..And friendly..I'll miss him to.
Akuha:Even though he was under my "employment" for only a little while...I knew we would become so close.
Moka:AKUHA-
A Bayonet speeds towards the two, Akuha steps out in the last second and gets her right shoulder blade skewed.
Akuha:*winces and whines in pain*
Moka:*fearfully hides behind Wallace's body*
the three warrior priests have risen and fully regenerated.
WP1:It's our job to exterminate all the demons of hell.
WP2:Black Devil Akuha Shuzen, In the name of the church you will be cast down back into hell were you belong.
WP3:Your body will return to dust, your soul to the pit of fire.
Akuha:*pupils shrink* You've made your last mistake!!
Akuha ferociously engages the three, mutilating them with the Jigen Tou mixed with various martial art moves. For nearly 2 solid minutes of fighting she remains untouched, but has to dodge their constant flurry of attacks nonstop. She "kills" them numerous times, only for them to regenerate back into peak fighting condition in seconds.
Akuha:*panting heavily while trying to parry their assault* They dont tire..They heal no matter what I do to them!!
Akuha ends up making a wrong step, she gets impaled from six bayonets, through her right knee, her left shoulder, her stomach, her right hip, her left breast, and her left femur.
Akuha:*screams and falls back towards the wall of a cliff, then slides down onto her rear*
Wallace:*eyes jolt open and pupils narrow at Akuha's scream*
Warrior Priest 1:*positions a bayonet to aim at her heart* Savor this earthly pain, devil, for an eternity of much worse awaits thee.
The Warrior Priest's upper body is torn clean off, a shower of blood follows.
the two priests turn around and face Wallace, he has risen onto his feet, still skewered by bayonets through all his vitals.
Wallace:*breathing heavily, seething with fury*
Wallace roars and expells the bayonets from his body, his wounds regenerate.
WP1:*fuses his two halves together and regains a fighting stance*Your body will not die easily, but your soul's minutes are numbered.
Wallace picks up the Priest with one hand, he bites him in half like a pretzel stick and gnaws on his upper body, causing it to bleed profusely into his gullet. he constricts his lower body with his other hand for a similiar effect. Due to the constant regeneration of the Priest he is able to engorge himself with blood. It coats his lower face and streams down onto his body, dying his suit dark red.
Eventually the Priests regeneration malfunctions from the sheer punishment, he crumbles to dust after being drained dry. Which is promptly stamped into the ground.
Wallace:*exhales, blood running from his mouth*
Moka:*steps back in fear*
Wallace brings down his fist onto another priest with breakneck speed, liquifying him. Including his bayonets. He licks the smear off the ground with his large tongue. The blood stains the fog around the area, giving it a red hue.
The remaining priest prays into a communicator, it signals a dozen more to arrive in the area. They all charge at Wallace. He endures their attacks without wincing and destroys them, typically by devouring or draining them in some way.
More of the warrior priests begin to arrive at the area, eventually they are able to keep Wallace from moving much from their sheer number and brutality of their attacks.
Wallace:*eyes turn blood red, gleam, and pupils become cat-like slits*
Wallace's sillouette begins to grow and changed shape, taking on numerous, monstrous features. Moka watches from the shadows horrified, the area becomes almost solid red from the bloody fog as the sounds of gore-ridden devouring and destruction fill the air.
The priests eventually stop appearing. There is an enormous exhale as the fog vanishes, it reveals the area is covered in a blood, pooling and going off the mountain path like a waterfall. Wallace is back in his human form, inhaling the mist. He is holding a dozen heads in his right hand, there are a dozen brutalized, twitching bodies lying around the area.
Wallace smashes the heads into his face and chews them excessively, causing blood to seep profusely from his mouth. The twitching bodies cease movement, having finally died. They turn to dust.
Wallace:*exhales and roars*
Wallace walks over to Akuha slowly, he picks her up and looks at her. He tears a laceration on his neck with one of his fingernails and bleeds into Akuha's mouth briefly. She coughs, reawakens and looks at him.
Akuha:...We..Survived that? *holds her head*
The bayonets fall from Akuha's body. Wallace sits her on the ground and she gains some footing, she is somewhat weakened.
Moka:.....
Clapping is heard.
Issa:*Emerges from the woods* Beautiful, simply beautiful. I never imagined I would ever witness such carnage. I almost thought I would have to intervene, but you've proved me wrong.
Wallace:*breathing heavily*
Akuha:See..What did I tell you, father?
Issa:Well, you didnt bring me the crushed heads of our enemies but eating them is so much better and much less messy than carrying them over the carpet...
Belladonna walks out as well.
Belladonna:I told you to have faith in the girl and her guardian, Issa.
Issa:Indeed I did, and it was very well placed. It does take a bit of berating to really bring out an exemplary performance. It appears that our Wallace held off an entire army worth of enemies.
Belladonna:But I wonder who....*looks around*....*growls angrily and lifts an emblem off the ground* Iscariot!
Issa:Iscariot?
Belladonna:I live around the same country as them, and I have had my fair share of run-ins with them..They wont dare attack me, so what else would they do but go after my family.
Issa:They sound like they are part of the Vatican, if they're from Italy. Being named after an apostle to boot...
Belladonna:Bah, they're not of the Vatican. They can be zealous, but they arent murderers, or even violent. Iscariot is a rogue self-proclaimed branch that is devoted to declaring war on anything non-catholic and "demonic". Including other Christians. The only reason they dont attack the vatican itself is because they need a scapegoat powerful enough to intimidate the enemies who know their real agenda into keeping quiet, and to take the heat for them. They're attempting to use religion to acheive global power.
Issa:Does the Vatican know of their immoral activities?
Belladonna:Not likely. They're incredibly secretive.
Issa:Hmmm...
Belladonna:However, these are also the Crests of their best warriors. The regenerators. They are extremely powerful genetically engineered warriors, with nigh unsurpassed strength, agility, and endurance. They are also immortal to boot....Unless they are destroyed extremely thoroughly. By the way it looks, they sent their entire army here to attack us. With how difficult it is to create regenerators, even with todays incredible technology kept secret from the masses, they will take centuries to recover from this...I'm heading back to Italy to nip them in the bud before they sprout again. I'll be back soon.
Lurr pulls over In a Limosine, Belladonna gets in and they drive off.
Akuha:Well, father?
Issa:He is incredible, you've chosen your guardian wisely. Not only has he destroyed our intruders, but also anhialated what could have been one of the biggest threats to our family. He may not be a true super vampire, but his strength makes him one in his own right...Thank you for defending my children.
Wallace:*smiles* I appreciate it..Sir...
Issa:*grabs Moka and Akuha's hands* Come, lets return to the castle. It is getting late.
the three walk off, Wallace remains in his place and looks over the remains.
Issa:..Are you coming?
Wallace:..Shortly.
Akuha:Take your time.
Wallace:*silently stares at the ground*
Spectre:*peers out from the tree*
Wallace:*reaches down into his shirt collar and pulls out a simply made silver cross on a chain necklace, and stares at it*....Huhhhh....*puts the cross back into his jacket and catches up with the Shuzens*
Spectre:*leaps from the tree and onto the ground*Despicable. Using the word of God to try and acheive one's own agenda, while betraying his teachings and casting blame on others....People....They need alot of work...*angrily heads back to the estate* !!!! Nyyyyygghh!!!!*enviroment begins to shift* Whats happening?!
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
Touhou:*reading the doujin* Come on...COME ON!! YESSSS!!!...Its finally risen enough so I can stand up to piss! *picks up a small chair and runs into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him*......Ahhhhhhhhh......Being old sucks..This is as good as it gets.....
Touhou steps out pulling up his pants and tieing the sash of his robes.
Touhou:*looks around*....Huh...Spectre?...
Spectre's body is nowere to be found.
Touhou:Did he exit on his own?! *looks into the crystal ball* Hey! HEY!! Are you in there?
Spectre:You dont have to yell. I can hear you.
Touhou:Oh..You must've rolled off the bed or something.
Spectre: What took you so long?
Touhou:I had to get my crystal ball repaired...
Spectre:What was wrong with it?
Touhou:Nothing worth being concerned about! So hows it going in there?
Spectre:Seen some interesting stuff...So what do you need repaired internally?
Touhou:I need you to take this hammer and nail in a "focus point".
A mallet-like hammer appears in Spectre's hand along with a red, crystalline spike.
Touhou:Nailing that in will focus the rosary's energy internally, causing it to magically repair those tricky internal bits.
Spectre:Alright...
Touhou:You will need to travel to the point in Moka's memories were the rosary first started sealing them. Then you must jam that nail into the back of Moka's skull.
Spectre:....Say what?
Touhou:Yep. Just jump in behind her, nail 'er fast and hard, and get the hell outta there before she notices you!
Spectre:Say Whaaaaaat?!
Touhou:That....Sounded dirtier than I intended...Just do it! She wont feel a thing. And try to avoid letting her see you.
Spectre:Ok...So what do I do?
Touhou:What do You mean "What do I do"? I just told you!
Spectre:I mean what damn time period do I have to go to if I wanna nail Moka's head!?
Touhou:You need to go forward in time to were Moka's mother gave her the seal, nail her head the moment she gets it!
Spectre:So how do I travel forth?
Touhou:...hang on, let me see if my crystal ball has a fast forward button...Hmmm...*looks around* Aha! *clicks*
The vision goes slightly static as the dream world fast forwards, Spectre is standing in place.
Touhou:Aaaaannnnnd...Here we are!
The castle is being ravaged by Alucard.
Spectre:What on earth...?
Touhou:This is were Alucard was awakened by becoming synchronized with Moka's blood!
Spectre:Huh. Hes pretty big. I could have sworn I saw that guy in a movie before. And heard the name...I dont know how many times.
Touhou:Just go in there and watch things.
Spectre leaps towards the castle, he lands on a spire out of anyone's line of sight.
Spectre:*looks around* Nothing but tendrils, teeth and...*eyes widen* Hot damn!!!! *unzipping noise, followed by a loud, cartoony spring noise and the Psycho theme*
Touhou:AAAAAAGH!!*looks away from the crystal ball, which has cracked from the mind-flaying sight* PUT IT AWAY!!! PUT IT AWAY!!! EVEN IM NOT PERVERTED ENOUGH TO GET A KICK OUT OF THAT!!!!!!
Spectre:*oggling Mokas mother in her Battle corset*
Touhou:SPECTRE!!
Spectre:*watching Akasha fight* Im...Sorry...Its.....Instinct....*pants profusely*
Touhou:CONTROL YOURSELF!!!!!
Alucard:*one of his heads turns up and sees Spectre*....*shreiks in absolute horror, causing all the other heads to shreik*
Akasha:Alucard is distracted by some-*looks up* *screams*
Akuha:What is it?! *looks up, similiar reaction*
Spectre:DONT STOP!!! Keep fighting!! And dont be stingy with those round-house and helicoptor kicks!!
Akasha:...........
Akuha:.............
Alucard:.....*covers up some of his heads' nonexistant eyes with his tendrils*
Touhou:YOU IDIOT!!!!
Spectre:What? Its not gonna affect anything unless Moka sees me..
Touhou:BUT SHE CAN!!!
Moka:*weakly*M-..Mother..w...whats that...Is.....Is it...P....Part of Alucard....?
Akasha:Focus on something else, dear!
Spectre:....Whats everybody staring at?! Keep fighting!!!
Nobody makes a move...
Akasha:..Wait..I can use this pervert to my advantage...*leaps up to Alucards hand, then places the rosary on Moka* I'm sorry Moka, but the only way I can stop Alucard is to seal him from the inside...This rosary will protect you, your real self with be sleeping while this fake personality takes over you in the waking world. It will not only keep your blood from ever synchronizing with Alucard's, but it will also protect you....The only person who can remove the rosary is somebody who truly cares for you, and means you no harm.*begins to get sucked into Alucard's hand, being skewed by numerous tendrils, but not flinching*....Behave yourself , I love you...*consumed*
Moka:Mother!!!!
Spectre:Ugh, way to kill Mister Winky. *zipping noise* Whoops. I forgot...
Spectre leaps behind Moka and drives the focus point into the back of her head.
Moka:*screams in agony as blood erupts from her head*AAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAH!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!? IM ONLY TEN YEARS OLD MAN!! WHAT DID I DO TO YOU MAN? WHAT THE **** DID I EVER DO TO YOU?! *cries hysterically and blood gushes from her head as the nail dives deeper into her head* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!
Alucard retracts back into the basement to resume his eternal slumber, Moka lands roughly on the floor, she passes out.
Spectre:..........
Akuha:............
Spectre:So, weres your guardian? Or your aunt? I bet they would have been helpful to have around here.
Akuha:Wallace had a few things to attend to back at the United States, my aunt got sent away by Akasha....*shakes her head* But how do you know about that?! Furthermore who the hell are you and what did you do to my sister?! And why am I telling you this?
Spectre:Its a loooong story, one that you wont ever remember. Actually, it didnt really happen. Moka thinks it did, but not you.
Akuha:.....
Spectre:By the way, seen a purple Penguin around?
Akuha:Yeah, he was are servant. He just headed back home before all this happened.
Spectre:Huh. Whats your take on him?
Akuha:I dont know him personally. Seems like he has some form of undying hatred and misery he drowned in alchohol on a daily basis. Other than than, he got his chores done and never acted ill towards anybody around here. Father payed him really well, I dont see why he would be miserable.
Spectre:Ah.
Akuha:...So, who are you?
Spectre:*shrugs*
*BLANK*
Spectre arrives at another point in Mokas memories, she is sobbing and praying in front of an outdoor altar, the chairman is looking at her, alongside a priest.
Priest:...Its sad, she is praying and begging for a mother who she doesnt even know...
Mikogami:The rosary is working extremely well...Akaha must have put her soul into making that...Its almost as if she has been reborn and still protecting her daughter.
Priest:Do not worry about her, I will treasure her like my own child.
Spectre:*watching from the top of a steeple*.......The poor girl...Sort of reminds me of Popuri. Never knew her father...Hmm, guilt rising....*shakes his head* How could I have gone mad enough to murder what I could have considered a family I found after so many years of bitter alienation from mankind...Aaah...Its in the past..I could understand why these memories have been sealed. They seem so agonizingly painful...Perhaps its a mercy I cannot remember everything I've done and experienced as well....
The memory skips ahead, Moka is extremely upset, and is wrecking her room, the priest is trying to calm her, she eventually rebukes him and chases him off.
Moka:*breaking down* Mother..Help me..I dont know what I am...When I try to think about anything my heart is blank..Somebody..Help me.....Stay by my side!!
Spectre:.....I cant stand by and just watch this..
Spectre slowly walks behind Moka.
Spectre:Move on, little one. Your mother is closer than you know, even if you cannot remember her.....Little do you know, I am by your side. You wont realize it until many years from now. I may seem cold, or perhaps evil, and maybe even frightening, but know that you will have a friend in me. And protector. There will be other friends to. Who will show you compassion. And some jerks who show animosity because you annoy them, but they get a nasty verbal backlash for displaying double hypocricy and trying to cover it up as a "test". So dont worry about them! Nyahahahahhaa...But accept this kind priest's attempts to be a good father, and live your life knowing you are never truly alone. Moka...
Moka:Huh?*turns her head*.......
Spectre is gone...
Moka:.....
Outside
Touhou:Alright!! Moka's Rosary should fix itself soon. Thanks for the help, Spectre!....Spectre....?
Spectre:*awakens to see everything in red, in a dark area* Nnnngghh....*looks around, disoriented* Hmmm...Were am I....?
Spectre looks down at his hands, they're covered in blood, there is a half-eatenYuki Onna with a scream expression lying down in front of him.
Spectre:Oh...I wasnt expecting an awakening like this...*looks around, revealing himself to be in an alley* Talk about fast food...
Spectre voraciously begins to consume the Yuki Onna, reducing it to a skeleton in seconds.
Spectre:*licks himself zealously, removing nearly every trace of blood off of him, even eating the snow on the ground* Huh...Guess I just couldnt resist the coppery aroma even in comatose...
Mizore:*shocked*
Spectre:*darts his head in Mizores direction*Ahh...Oh dear...Well, I dont have much of an explanation, now do I....
Mizore:*steps back*Y-you...You were the one eating everybody...
Spectre:*darts his eyes around the area* Well...*snorts*...What does it look like to you?
Mizore:I thought you finally quit with the homicide!
Spectre:I did, but what can I say, we all have our cravings....Our needs...Its not like I want to kill without reason or anything...Its just one has to do what he can to survive. Hmm? *paces around Mizore, with his hands behind his back*
Mizore:*choking*Your a monster! Why would you do this?! And at such an important time for us?!
Spectre:Hmmm...Well....Cant teach a old dog new tricks I guess....Or totally break his habits...I cant help it if I have a taste for blood. *snaps*
Mizore:Your terrifying my people!
