Yumeko lies on the ground, now severely injured by a berserked Newan, a hit to the head from Vante's baston, fire and a barrage of arrows. However, everyone around her is either unable to fight. or like Nanaya. Unwilling to. Aesera was shouting at her, asking her to fight, for everyone else is doing so. It's like they have to win this. They just had to. But they could not, it was not their destiny to be able to win this. It never was.
Yumeko slowly gets herself up, dusting her wounded body. Aesera is too busy trying to get Nanaya into fighting to notice. A hand falls on her shoulder, making her turn, only to see Yumeko's bloodied fist before she pummels Aesera to the ground. She doesn't even have time to bring out her lance. After around five constant punches, Yumeko kicks Aesera's waist, which lifts her and throws her to the wall.
Yumeko was smiling. Still smiling with all those horrendous gashes and burns on her body. She slowly stepped closer to Aesera, lifting her chin up.
"Ooh, such a pretty one you are."
Aesera spat on Yumeko's face, undaunted by her sadistic smile.
"You remind me of Yuuka." After that, Yumeko gave Aesera a tight slap to the face, before lifting her up and stabbing her in the stomach. Just like what she did to Nanaya. Yumeko threw her to the ground, wiping Aesera's spit off her face.
"The little girl can't talk no more? Aww. How sad."
She began to walk towards where Gale, Orin and Meira were fighting. With Gale striking his whip forward, Meira thrust her sword forward, making the whip spin and entangle itself around the blade. It worked, almost perfectly. She then pulled Gale in with full force, followed by an elbow to his chin and chest. Gale grunted in pain, lashing Meira with the whip on his other arm, only to be halted as Meira kneed his crotch before pushing his away.
Gale had been rendered useless with a foul move. Gale trembled on the ground, gasping for air and clutching his crotch, tears coming from his eyes due to the excruciating pain. Orin ran over to his side, her face showing one of concern, for once, she was actually caring for Gale. Until Meira's sword came flying in between them, almost cutting Orin's arm in half. Yumeko was in arm's reach of Orin. Meira smiled sweetly, as Orin was jabbed once in the back.
Once in the waist. Once in the neck. Once in the shoulder. Meira ran forward, gripping her sword tight as she stabbed through Orin before letting go. Orin fell to the side, Meira's sword in her abdomen.
Now, who was left? Oh yes, Youmu was still fighting Kasen. But she could handle that.
Meira walked together with Yumeko towards Nanaya. Newan, who had once protected her with that sudden impulse of rage was now unconscious. She was the one that could cause the most trouble. They knew she had no power, and yet, they were compelled to make her at the top of the list besides Kenshou. The monk was still in the middle of the rubble, calling out to Mima. Watching the devastation that had happened...
A doll flew towards Meira at lightning speed. It flew and circled the duo, wanting to prevent them from reaching Nanaya. The doll was Mira, and Alyssa never controlled it. As if it acted on it's own... The two then turned their attention to the still-standing Alice, along with Alyssa. They began to converge.
Alice had regained control over all of her dolls, and had set them to work, all in the surroundings were dolls, hiding, waiting. With just a flick of her finger, Alice could impale the enemies with thousands of lances. But no. She could'nt move her hands at all. Why? Why? Because these were the people she left in Makai. The fear came back on it's own, along with Kana floating out of the ground.
"Looks like my job is done~" Kana says in a sing-song tune, floating towards Yumeko and Meira. Alice shivered uncontrollably. She was about to be killed by her childhood friends. Their eyes black in color, Completely void of soul or emotion. Alyssa tugged on Alice's arm, about to cry. Like the little girl she is, she began to beg for Alice to save them. Alice turned her head slowly, revealing that she too, was crying.
She had left all of her friends and family in Makai, never visiting for god knows how long. And here they are, as vengeful shells of their former selves. But Alice had a smile on her face.
In the palm of her hand was a small card. Alice opened her mouth in pain. "Spell Card... Dolls "Lemmings' Parade"" It was a devastating card. One of the top tier, her second best card, but in such a short range... It could kill herself too. The card flared. Kana immediately shouted in the loud, beaming noise.
Meira and Yumeko turned and ran. But it was too late. Twenty dolls emerged from the ground, charging forward, grabbing ontop their legs and dragging them towards Alice. Before imploding. The explosion was so loud, so big, that it could be seen and heard from miles away. The two heroines and their three enemies were caught in the epicenter of the blast. The spell had mowed down the enemies.
All all that was left was a badly injured Meira and Kana.
Yumeko was totally out of the game now, but so was Alice and Alyssa. Such an... Artful Sacrifice.
The other two panted, wiping the blood from their mouths. This was enough.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvdvFejreQ8Nanaya stopped crying. She had seen every one of her newfound friends experience pain that they never felt before. Pain beyond their worse nightmares. Nanaya slowly stood up, with that hole in her stomach, what could she do? She strode towards Kana and Meira. The duo could still fight, and could kill Nanaya if they wanted to. But not if she was prepared.
Nanaya put her hands into that large hole Yumeko had made in the stomach. She began pulling on the whole, clawing at her insides. Screaming in pain, before she fell to her knees once again. She had ruptured her internal organs, but for what? For what?
I was already on my way. Why did you have to do so much?Kenshou winced, looking up into the now night sky. It was 11:30. A single star flared up in the sky above. Nanaya screamed in pain once again, slamming her fist on the floor. Kana and Meira looked at Nanaya, apparently wallowing in self-pity, wanting a quick death. Meira smiled.
"If what is what you want. I shall grant you your wish." She stepped closer to Nanaya. Closer. Close enough to notice what she had written on the floor. In her blood.
I cannot run, yet cannot fight,
I cannot win, yet resist with might;
I cannot see, but I can feel,
I cannot breathe, and cannot heal;
I cannot hear, but I can say,
Nanaya Longinus, this is the way.Meira stepped back abruptly, unprepared for what was about to happen.
The Blade of Time might block our way,
Nevertheless, we shall whisper until it rusts away.
The Door of Space might lock our doors,
Nevertheless, we shall knock until it soars.
Eternity exists in the prayers of our hopes,
Which rest on incessant slopes.
In the twilight after our darkest fight,
May the sun come out a break the night.
We've even pieced the Door of Space,
Why not slay the fiend and claim our grace?
The Blade of Time won't block our way.
My heart is where your whisper stays.
...Epherial.Nanaya's limbs glowed. Crystals burst from her skin, covering her arms and legs. Her organs repaired themselves with Crystal. The gaping hole in her stomach was closed up with Crystal. She stood up, Her head thrown back, her body arched. The Crystals glowed Red. Meira and Kana rushed forward, Meira leading the charge, her fist being thrown forward... Only to be met with a punch to the side. She was sent flying, before Nanaya rammed her body on Kana. Both of them flew in different directions.
Crystals started growing on Nanaya's foreheard and shoulders, forming horns and shoulder fins. Nanaya ran forward to Meira, pushing her back and grabbing her arms, kicking her one in the stomach. With a battle cry, she threw her to the ground, jumping above her and raining a blow of punches down on her. The sharp crystal shards pierced her flesh, grinded her muscles, tore her bones apart.
Kana ran forward, grabbing Nanaya and pushing her to the side. But she was stronger now. Powerful. Nanaya used both her arms to grab their heads, running with their bodys trailing behind, before slamming them into a wall. This was followed by an uppercut to both of their chins simultaneously. They were sent flying, before Nanaya jumped above them, Meira above Kana, and pushed them to the ground. A large crater was made where they impacted the floor.
Nanaya pulled the both of them up, smacking their skulls together before throwing them across the destroyed shrine with a kick. They collided with each other, before landing on a wall. Unconscious.
Nanaya fell to her knees, unable to fight. The crystals sunk back into her body, and she too went into the darkness.
The single star above the sky seemed to fly down slowly. And it was. Evenatually, the glowing ball of light appeared beside Kenshou. Out from the ball, emerged Mima.
"Sorry I'm late. Had to assist someone in Gensokyo."
Yuuka stood where the entrance of the shrine once was, smiling at Mima, her eyes pure black.
"Mima... Against me?"
--
(Kanjou has control over Mima. Go make a Mima vs Yuuka fight. Either one can win. Up to you<3~)
