>"Alright guys, we don't have any time left! Let's go!"
>Let's charge out and try to trap as many of the fairies in bubbles, whirlwinds, and stone encasements as we can!

>"Alright guys, we don't have any time left! Let's go!"
>Let's charge out and try to trap as many of the fairies in bubbles, whirlwinds, and stone encasements as we can!

> You cvharge through the front door with Wriggle, Kogasa and Mystia. Kogasa blasts a way through by scareing the fairies with her Karakasa Spark, while you trap some, and Mystia and Wriggle just knock aside any others.

> You see a pillar of light on the lakeside, and around it many fairies. There is a shadow within the light, but you cannot make out what it is. Between you and the light is the black fairy, with a sadistic grin on her face,

> "Well then, shall we pick up where we left off earlier?" she says. "I don't need to hold back this time..."

>If we're best with support magic, then...
>Buff up the party.

[Raikaria]

>If we're best with support magic, then...
>Buff up the party.

> You use your magic, by calling upon the elements to support the party. There are no visible changes, but the durability of the party is increased by the power of earth, and their speed by the power of wind. Their stamina is increased by the power of water. You're yet to learn any supportive fire spells.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>That'd probably be a strength boost. We'll have to look into that at some point.

[Raikaria]

>That'd probably be a strength boost. We'll have to look into that at some point.

> You guess so, but you also see how Earth could add more brute force. Still, you've only had so much practice, after all, it's not Patchouli's specialty.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's apply the buffs to ourself as well, naturally.
>In theory, the fire magic would increase strength by warming the body, loosening the muscles, and increasing bloodflow.
>"I..I don't want to have to fight, but you're leaving me no other choice!"

>"I..I don't want to have to fight, but you're leaving me no other choice!"

> You already have.

> You're not sure. It depends on what you do with it, really, and what aspects of fire are used in the magic, not to mention if it's more spiritual, or physical.

> "There is always a choice. You can just sit there and watch Titania's resurrection." the fairy says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"No, if she comes back as things are now, Gensokyo is in danger! Besides....She deserves to sleep after all she's done. We Fairies and Sprites can handle things from here."
>Let's bring in as many Elemental Options as we can muster, and go for a Four Elements Assault!

[Raikaria]

>"No, if she comes back as things are now, Gensokyo is in danger! Besides....She deserves to sleep after all she's done. We Fairies and Sprites can handle things from here."
>Let's bring in as many Elemental Options as we can muster, and go for a Four Elements Assault!

> "You really don't get it, do you? I followed you. I know what Lilly Black told you. I know all of the danger. That's why I want her back." the fairy says.

> You form five orbs of each element, before you fire them at the fairy, who has no issues evadeing the twenty orbs. However, Mystia takes the chance to get in close, and causes a slight wound with her claws.

> Kogasa swirls her umbrella around, before spinning disks which, from above, look like umbrellas, form and fly towards the fairy. "Monster Sign: A Forgotten Umbrella's Night Train" Kogasa declares, as the umbrella-damnaku sprays talisman danmaku in their wake. It's a surprisingly dangerous looking spell!

> "I'd be surprised... if I hadn't seen that before." the fairy says, shooting an arrow through Kogasa's umbrella danmaku, breaking them. "I know how to beat that."

> "Then how about this? Firefly Sign: Comet on Earth" Wriggle declares, before sending out pulses of danmaku, like a light switching on and off, mixed with some firefly familars leaving trails.

> The attack seems to be a lot more difficult for the fairy to deal with than Kogasa's.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Then I can't call you a Fairy. You're nothing more than a Demon yourself! Consider yourself lucky that Rumia isn't fighting, She'd wipe the floor with you in a heartbeat!"
>What spellcards do we have right now that would be best suited to fighting an opponent of her evasive skill?

[Raikaria]

>"Then I can't call you a Fairy. You're nothing more than a Demon yourself! Consider yourself lucky that Rumia isn't fighting, She'd wipe the floor with you in a heartbeat!"
>What spellcards do we have right now that would be best suited to fighting an opponent of her evasive skill?

> "Didn't the gatekeeper tell you? Did she go out cold before she could? I'm not a fairy!" the 'fairy' states, before she launches five arrows, which are narrowly avoided.

> All of your spellcards are focused around restricting movement to some extent, like Patchouli's, with a couple of exceptions. Still, the ones that are most restrictive are Emotion: Calm, which outright punishes movement, and Water and Air Sign: Malestrom.

> You would also consider Earth and Fire Sign: Pyroclasm, Earth and Water Sign: Tidal Coasts and Water Sign: Lakeside Ripples, to be rather restrictive of movement. In general, all of your water sign spells are focused around being restrictive of movement.

[Hanzo K.]

>Which ones would also make it harder for her to retaliate?
>"So, just what are you then? It's pretty irritating that you've taken the form of a Fairy for this."

[Raikaria]

>Which ones would also make it harder for her to retaliate?
>"So, just what are you then? It's pretty irritating that you've taken the form of a Fairy for this."

> All of your spells are 'oppressive' in nature, like Patchouli's aimed around basically making it hard to fight back. Obviously your survival card is impossible to fight back against.

> "That's a secret~. As for why I'm in the form of a fairy? Isn't that obvious? So I can trick the fairies into being my pawns!"

[Hanzo K.]

>"I don't like it, but I'll have to try to beat the truth out of you...!"
>Let's try using Pyroclasm at first then.

[Raikaria]

>"I don't like it, but I'll have to try to beat the truth out of you...!"
>Let's try using Pyroclasm at first then.

> "If you force me to unbind myself to this form, then you'll find out who I am." the 'fairy' says.

> You declare your Pyroclasm spellcard, as Wriggle's spell ends, and hurl large, green bubble danmaku short distances, which erupt into smaller, red danmaku, while the trails of smaller green danmaku keep on their paths.

> "I see a weakness~" the enemy says, before closing into close range. "All I need to do at this range is evade your green orbs!"

> "Are you forgetting someone?" Mystia says, unleashing another close-ranged attack, which the enemy evades.

> "Surprise!" Kogasa says, smacking her from behind on the head with the bottom of her umbrella, knocking her into a green orb while doing so, which carries her forward, before erupting.

> Out of the danmaku, several black arrows fly out, which head towards you. The ones before were red.

[Hanzo K.]

>Dodge 'em if we can! Otherwise try to make an Elemental Wall to repel them!

[Raikaria]

>Dodge 'em if we can! Otherwise try to make an Elemental Wall to repel them!

> You try to dodge but the arrows turn to follow you. As such, you get them embedded in a wall of stone instead, which then falls into the lake. What is worrying is that the arrows did a lot of damage to the wall.

> The fairy is closing in rapidly, no longer with a bow, but instead with some red and black javelin.

[Hanzo K.]

>Arrows....a Javelin...It's almost like she's emulating Rumia, or some of Gensokyo's Strongest...She's a problem.
>Let's try a multi-elemental wall to block her charge, and also as a screen to dodge!!

[Raikaria]

>Arrows....a Javelin...It's almost like she's emulating Rumia, or some of Gensokyo's Strongest...She's a problem.
>Let's try a multi-elemental wall to block her charge, and also as a screen to dodge!!

> You form a four-layered wall of water, air, fire and stone in that order. The foe just stops beside it.

> "You know, if I just keep you wasting your magic I'll win by default. It'll be an issue if those flames hit me, after all." she says, with her spear vanishing, and her bow re-forming, charging energy.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Tch..."
>How long do we think we can keep this up?
>Wait, she said it'll be an issue if the flames hit her...
>Let's combine Wind and Fire to catch her in a blazing whirlwind while she's still charging!

[Raikaria]

>"Tch..."
>How long do we think we can keep this up?
>Wait, she said it'll be an issue if the flames hit her...
>Let's combine Wind and Fire to catch her in a blazing whirlwind while she's still charging!

> You have a fair amount of mana left, you'd judge it is around half at this point.

> You remove the water layer from your wall, and blast out the fire and wind, forming a blast of fire, without using much energy at all. The foe is caught off guard and is caught in the fire, and cries in pain.

> The flames die down, and she is floating there, looking charred, and pulls something out of her pocket.

> It is a small seed... that seems, through the burns on it, to be striped dark brown and light brown.

> "D-Damnit... the seed is damaged too much..." she says, before she turns entirely black, and starts to charge, growing.

> The truth becomes clear when you notice what is happening to her wings... that shape they are taking. Suddenly, everything makes sense in regards to the identity of the strange fairy... before her form is revealed, and color returns to her body.


Nue Houjuu
Youkai with the prankster heart of a fairy

[Hanzo K.]

>"Why...? Why are you doing this?!"

[Raikaria]

>"Why...? Why are you doing this?!"

> "I guess I should explain now. Everything I have done since I was unsealed has been to further the cause of youkai. I orchestrated the freedom of Byakuren Hijiri, by making the fragments of the vault holding her attractive to be collected. I brought Mamizou in to combat Miko, when her awakening posed a threat to us youkai. My goal is simple. Fairies are not focused enough to give Titania enough faith for more than a few hours. Humans on the outside, according to Mamizou, are destroying nature. Her rage will be targeted at the humans. Gensokyo is a haven for youkai. They have no business here. Titania is a weapon I aim to use to safeguard the youkai of Gensokyo, lest this world end up like the outside." Nue says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"But that was the whole reason why Gensokyo was made to begin with! By your reasoning, we should just leave the folks on that side of the border alone!"

[Raikaria]

>"But that was the whole reason why Gensokyo was made to begin with! By your reasoning, we should just leave the folks on that side of the border alone!"

> "Yes. That is my reasoning. The whole reason of the barrier was to separate humans and youkai. Magic from non-magic. Let the humans destroy magic in their own realm, and leave us to our own haven. Of course, I was sealed underground long before the barrier was formed, but Gensokyo still existed, a land of youkai, seculded from the outside. The magic destruction just grew so severe we needed the Hakurei Barrier." Nue says.

> "My target isn't the humans on the outside. It is the humans on the inside."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Humans are a part of Nature as well. Destroy them, and you destroy yourselves. By bringing Titania back now, she won't just go after Humans, she'll go after Youkai as well!"

[Raikaria]

>"Humans are a part of Nature as well. Destroy them, and you destroy yourselves. By bringing Titania back now, she won't just go after Humans, she'll go after Youkai as well!"

> "Humans are doing more damage to nature than anything else, foolish fairy. Magic left the outside not due to Youkai, but Humans." Nue says.

> The pillar of light seems to freeze, before six large wings burst through it.

> "Besides. Regardless of what you say, it is too late... Titania is awakening now..." Nue says, before her trident forms. "Let us end this. I don't have to hold back now, seeing as you know who I am..."

Nue's Theme

[Hanzo K.]

>"Tch.."
>Let's try and beeline straight for the pillar to try and reach Titania herself! We'll have to be careful and avoid Nue's attacks too!

[Raikaria]

>"Tch.."
>Let's try and beeline straight for the pillar to try and reach Titania herself! We'll have to be careful and avoid Nue's attacks too!

> You attempt to head for the pillar, and Nue doesn't react.

> "There's nothing you can do anyway. I'll let you see the resurrection of your goddess and creator." Nue says.

> You feel a massive amount of energy as you get nearer the pillar, from both the pillar... and behind you. The pillar is cracking, it is clear it will not be long before Titania emerges.
