>Grin a bit. "Useful little ability, isn't it? But that's Malus' power, not mine."
>Now let's try a two for one! Tiles, and Boomerang Malus!

> Iku decides to counteract your attack by flying towards you, dodging Malus on it's way out and moving just enough to dodge it's return, while blasting tiles in her way. Meanwhile, her cloth wraps around her hand like a spear.

>Well, let's keep an eye on her, and be ready to dodge when she attacks.
>When she does, we'll slip behind her and bombard her with our fastest attack.

> She's coming right at you, so you swing around at the last moment and counter attack with the fastest thing you have... a punch. The attack connects in the small of Iku's back, causing her to go flying a bit.

> Whie you are not notably strong like, say, Meiling, you're still a fair bit stronger than a human. Like, twice as strong.

>Grin a bit. "Gotta play a bit more clever to get past me. You have no idea who I work for, do you? Let's just say she can put me through a lot worse than you ever could."

> "It does not matter who you work for. Not when you consider who I work for. I am the envoy of the Dragon itself, the most powerful thing in Gensokyo, responsible for it's creation and safety! I know that your 'boss' is an insignificant speck compared to the Dragon." Iku boasts, sounding very confident.

> This is a little worrying, because for a moment, you think that Iku's boss is stronger than even Yuuka... then it clicks into your head that Yuuka's main body is not in Gensokyo.

>Chuckle a little. "Well, you're sadly mistaken then, as boss only has a mere clipping of herself here. Perhaps you know of 'The Flower Master of The Four Seasons'?"
>We might not be able to use a spark, but we should be able to visually emulate the charging process easily and convincingly enough, correct?

> "I know little of the people of the world below." Iku says. However, if your boss isn't even native to Gensokyo, then that raises the question about why you came from Gensokyo. However, I do not have anymore time to squander.

> You don't have an umbrella to imitate Yuuka using her flower-parasoul to charge the spark.

> Iku takes the pose she took when she called down the massive lightling bolt which obliterated your spellcard.

> You fly in close and try to punch her in the gut, but Iku gets out of her pose, and moves the cloth around her arms to block your fist.

> The cloth feels smooth and silky, but doesn't give an inch.

>Grin, and pull back a bit. "I've got this figured out, when you do that pose, that bolt's gonna happen a little while later. But if I keep you on your toes, then that bolt won't be a thing."
>Rapidfire slashes!

>Rapidfire slashes!

> You start to unleash a wild frenzy of slashes, which Iku parries by using her cloth as skillfully, but is being forced back none the less.

> Suddenly there is an opening, and without you even having to move, Malus reads you noticing it and re-shapes to take advantage, before it suddenly pulls back.

> "To be pushing me this far... admittedly melee isn't my forte, but I didn't think I'd have to pull this out..." Iku says, a field of wildly crackling electricity around her, almost as if she is glowing. If Malus had struck it would have carried the electricity directly to you.

> "Thundercloud Stickleback."

>Pull back a bit. "Not a bad trick there. To bad I can't do something like that, it'd make my job easier. Well, if people actually bothered to bust in that is, but hey."
>Does this seem to be a spellcard of any sort?
>Either way, liberal application of tiles and shots oughta do the job.

> Iku dosen't respond.

> You doubt it, since this is clearly real electricity. However, seeing as this move has a name, you wouldn't be shocked if she had a spellcard version.

> Your attacks just break against spears of lighting which arc from her barrier. Iku is slowly approaching you.

> Malus seems to be pulling towards Iku, almost like it has an idea. At least, that's what you think. It's never done this before, and it's not like it can tell you what it wants.

>Grin. "That's what you think! Malus! Do your thing!"

> As you slash, with confidence in your partner, Iku, confident in her defense, dosen't raise her cloth.

> At the last second, Malus retracts, pulling it's handle out of your hand, so you are not gripping it, as it connects with the lightling feild, cutting through, and slashing Iku.

> "What?!" Iku says just before she cries in pain from the slash.

> Malus falls to the ground, as does Iku. She's wounded but your trained eye knows it's nowhere near fatal, especially for a youkai.

>Once we've got Malus back, get back to our stance if he's okay.

> You go to pick up the scythe, which is sparking a little. On contact you get a small shock as the residual charge enters you, but nothing serious, just a little worse than static.

> Malus twitches a few times in response. You guess it's out cold or stunned.

> Tenshi opens the 'elevator' to Gensokyo again, and you enter.

> As you descend the mountain, you see the shrine again and recall you wished to visit. Doing so now is convenient, but Tenshi is with you still, and Malus still isn't recovered.

> You keep heading to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Meiling is asleep at the gate, so a maid wearing blue greets you.

> "The Lady told me to meet you when you came back and see who you brought. I was not expecting her, although the Lady said I'd be surprised with you you were planning to bring anyway." the maid says.

> She then looks at Tenshi. "Don't. Break. Anything. Or you'll find knives in your immortal body. You may be immortal but I'm sure you feel pain."

> "Oh yeah, I feel pain. That's not gonna stop me from breaking anything if I get bored." Tenshi says. "Then you'll have to punish me!"

> "I forgot you're a masochist..." the maid sighs.

> You suddenly wonder if you should introduce Tenshi to Yuuka.

Hanzo K. · « **Reply #419 on:** August 31, 2012, 11:15:12 AM »

>Sigh. "Tenshi, just be patient, once we've got more folks together, we can get to work on the plan. For now, we'll wait until Malus has pulled himself together after that last stunt he pulled. Once he's pulled himself together, we'll find more folks to help out. I have a few ideas on who all to gather too, I just need to know where they are."
>Grin. "And once we've got enough, then the real fun can get started."
