| Iced Fairy:
The flight to Eientei was fairly leisurely. It helped that neither of them were foolish enough to try to navigate the bamboo forest. They still ended up flying around a area where the mansion was hidden, but it was only a few lost minutes instead of days of stupidly blundering around. Shanghai set down outside the main gates figuring that they'd be less likely to get shot that way. To her surprise Eirin was there waiting. "Ah good, you've finally arrived." "Yeah. The maverick doll is still locked up in the secure area." Eirin gave the two a long look before continuing. "I'll give you the codes, since the place is already compromised, but I doubt they'll be much good." "Anything that might help," Hourai replied. Eirin nodded then turned to lead them to their destination. "Most of the defenses are lasers. Some are slow, like the danmaku you're used to. Others are fast moving. Of course our little invader might have changed that as well." "Right." Shanghai was a little worried about that. Fast moving lasers would be much more difficult to defend against. The next few moments were silent as Eirin led them down the halls of Eientei. Eirin didn't seem overly concerned by the matter, but she did occasionally look back at Shanghai and Hourai with appraising glances. The earth rabbits were more open in their inspections, but the flighty creatures ran as soon as either of the sisters gave them their focus. Finally Eirin broke the silence. "You two should give Alice my congratulations. She's done fairly well for a human. Some mistakes are to be expected with only ten years of research." Shanghai frowned. She didn't like having anyone judge Mother, even if it was favorably. "What do you mean mistakes?" "And how do you know Mother's age?" Hourai asked. Eirin shrugged. "It's my business to know things." Shanghai glared daggers at the woman's back. "And on that note I should give you some information about Medicine." "Huh?" Hourai blinked at the sudden shift. Eirin nodded. "I've worked with that girl in the past. While her current... exuberance is perfectly in character, her plots are not." Shanghai looked up at Eirin. "What do you mean?" "Well, you have to admit this plot is uniquely stupid. Gather a bunch of allies and then spread them to the four winds to each do their own thing? No." Eirin shook her head. "That's too stupid even for Medicine to think up. She'd do something stupid out of a story book or play. And she'd be acting as the hero as well." Now that Eirin mentioned it the plan was pretty stupid. "That's a good point." "The other issue is that Medicine shouldn't have enough power to activate eight dolls." Eirin looked back at them. "Even if creating a doll youkai is easier then making a self aware doll, creating a life still requires the same amount of energy. Alice was knocked out by creating you two, and she had enough power to stop the night. Medicine just doesn't have that raw strength. Or she shouldn't." Hourai figured it out first. "So you think someone's pulling her strings?" "I think something is odd," Eirin replied. "I don't have enough information to guess past that." Shanghai looked over at her sister and nodded. "I see..." Once again there was silence until they reached a large sealed door. Unlike the rest of the mansion, this one looked like something out of a those "mad science" mangas the tengu had started printing. Reisen was standing outside keeping watch. The rabbit girl looked up when they arrived. "Ah, master. Nothing's changed. At least on this side." Eirin nodded. "Good Reisen. Has our override cable been damaged?" "Nope. We can open the doors whenever we want." "Then we should hurry," Shanghai said. "Those traps aren't going to get any easier." Eirin walked over to the door. "As you say." The Lunarian pulled a switch and the doors slid open with a hiss. "Good luck you two." "Right!" Shanghai rushed in, quickly followed by Hourai. The door hissed shut behind them, leaving them in a wide corridor. A quick look down the corridor revealed several apertures. Shanghai pointed to the ones she saw. "You think those will be where the lasers fire from?" "Yeah." Hourai nodded and pointed out a few more. "Looks like a good pattern, but if we keep moving we should be able to pass them before they become a danger." Shanghai considered the matter a bit. "Okay. You lead Hourai, you're still faster." Hourai took off, Shanghai following close behind her sister. As they passed the first opening a column of deadly light shot out with an ominous hum. Neither of the sisters slowed though, so it passed harmlessly behind them. Another beam shot out, then another in a cascade of deadly light. Shanghai kept running. Speed was her ally, and it was serving her well. It seemed like it'd be easy, until they hit the first turn. The next corridor had the same apertures for deadly lasers, but it also had that purple mist that had bothered them before. The deadly clouds turned the room into a maze. Hourai held back. "You lead Shanghai. I can slip through the clouds with my dash." Shanghai nodded. "Okay." She paused for a moment to trace a path in her mind. When she had it she began running forward. The first section was easy. Shanghai ran straight between the deadly clouds. Then changed course quickly to get around the center cloud. Her heartbeat sped up as she realized the next laser would chase her around the third cloud, but she didn't hesitate. She turned then ran. As she rounded the final corner she felt the lasers heat flash behind her. But she'd made it. Now it was another straight run. When she reached the end she leaned over and sucked in some deep breaths. Breathing wasn't necessary but it helped. Hourai landed next to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "You okay sister?" "Fine. It was just a little closer then I liked." Shanghai stood and looked into the next area. TO her surprise it was solid black. "Well... That's annoying." Hourai looked into the darkness and nodded. "Yeah. Still not a big deal." The sisters closed their eyes and summoned up their innate magic powers. Light spells were child's play here in Gensoukyo. Soon the two were softly glowing, illuminating the area. Now that they could see they continued on. "There's a lot of junk here. It would have really sucked if we couldn't summon light," Shanghai remarked absently as they passed piles of broken machinery. They traveled without incident for some time. Then they reached a door. They opened it, but instead of another of their sisters they found a corridor. Shrugging Hourai entered it, Shanghai following behind. As soon as Shanghai was inside the door slammed shut behind them and the lights in the room turned on revealing a strange array of circutry. The two sisters sprung to alert. "I don't like this," Hourai muttered as they slowly advanced. Then a beam of light fired across the corridor like a tripwire. "That's the other laser!" Shangahai yelled. "Watch out!" The two dolls ducked low as they ran towards the other side, but the beam of death swung down to catch them. They were forced into a rolling jump to clear the arcing laser. The beam cut off as they passed it, but neither stopped. The room still seemed active. Sure enough another beam formed at the end of the hall and started racing towards them. Shanghai rose into the air to trick it into aiming high and she relaxed a little when it seemed to fall for her deception. Then it slowly rotated and turned into a grid of lasers the covered the whole hallway. "That's not fair!" Shanghai screamed as she started running away. She heard Hourai use her phasing dash again, but she couldn't see how her sister had fared. She had to run! Shanghai poured all her power into her feet. She could swear she could smell the ionizing air of the lasers closing in on her. Then there was a massive shattering sound and the room went dark. Shanghai kept flying for a few steps before turning to see what happened. Hourai was standing at the end next to a broken glass wall. "I think I deactivated it!" Shanghai sighed in relief. "Thanks sister. That phase dash thing seems really useful." "Yeah. Maybe Yumemi can make another one." Hourai peeked through the broken wall. "And I think I discovered another secret passage." "Ah!" Shanghai moved up to look through. Sure enough there was a small passage leading into darkness. "This looks about right." Hourai stepped in. "Then let's go see what Mother put together this time" The two sisters followed the twisty passage until they found themselves in a medium sized room with a trap door. Above the exit was a belt. Shanghai approached it with grave anticipation. She was rewarded with Alice's figure again appearing in front of her. The holograph seemed more aware then the others did, looking around the room in confusion. "Such a strange dream.... Is Koishi doing this? I'll have to yell at her. Or is this real?" The two sisters moved forward in unison. "Mother?" Alice's gaze flickered towards them. "Shanghai? Hourai?! Is it possible? Is it true? What happened then?" Alice's hologram fizzled with static before returning. "The belt. The belt should help you resist damage. If this is real. My beautiful children... I'm-" The figure burst into static then blinked out. "Mother!" Shanghai cried. Hourai just whimpered slightly. Mother had seen them. Recognized them. Shanghai looked around for Koishi and found the satori girl standing behind them. "Call her back! Let me talk to her!" Marisa's voice cut off Koishi's reply. "Whoa! Hey guys, Alice was thrashing around for a bit there. She just calmed down but she seemed pretty agitated. You know what happened?" Koishi spoke up. "She's trying to wake up, but she's too weak." Koishi paused a moment in thought. "Well okay that's just a guess, but she's kinda in a strange place. She's unconscious, but she's trying not to be. She's gone back to sleep now, but I wouldn't want to use my power on her again. I think it's best to leave her alone." Shanghai shivered. "So this was our fault?" "Well kinda," Koishi waved her hand. "But don't worry about it! It won't impact her much unless we keep doing it. She'll remember the dream and that's it." Shanghai didn't feel convinced, but Koishi was the expert. Hourai seemed more mollified as she picked up the belt. "Alright. Well this is the last bit anyway." Hourai moved behind her. "Should I held you with it sis?" "Thanks Hourai." Shanghai let her sister change her belt. She didn't feel any hardier, but she trusted in Mother's craftsmanship. "There." Hourai stepped back then turned to the trap door. "I guess it's time to move on." "Yeah..." Shanghai looked around the room again, but Mother's presence was completely gone. She shook her head to clear it, then opened the trap door and jumped down. She fell to the ground in front of another door. This one a mirror of the high tech door they'd used to enter this place. A red button sat next to it, offering easy access. Shanghai waited for Hourai to drop down, then hit the button. The door opened slowly. At the end stood their quarry, a splash of crimson in the vast white expanse of the room. Their sister's hair was done up in a bun, and her dress had far more elaborate ruffles and buttressing. At her hips golden boomerangs gleamed. She nodded to the pair politely as they stepped in. "So, you girls finally showed up. Bout time. My name is Tombstone." Her hands fell to the boomerangs. "So, either of you got the courage to face me one on one?" Shanghai readied her weapon. "We'll fight you fairly if you want, but it doesn't have to be like this." Tombstone's eyes narrowed. "You killed our kin. I reckon it does have to go like this." "I'll go first," Hourai said as she sheathed her sword. "What?!" Shanghai spun to her sister. "You don't have a ranged weapon. What are you thinking?" A terrifying thought crossed her mind. "Wait, you wouldn't be using that watch..." "No." Hourai shook her head. "But trust me. I've got an idea." "Tricks won't work on my speed," Tombstone said coldly. "But I reckon you'll learn that the hard way won't ya? Come then." Hourai turned to face Tombstone directly. "Ready!" Their sister nodded, then in the blink of an eye tossed a coin in the air. Shanghai held her breath as the metal piece hovered in the air. Then it plummeted to the ground. The two other dolls exploded into motion, Hourai dashing forward with a draw cut, while Tombstone threw her boomerang straight ahead. The spinning weapon moved faster then it had any right to. It screamed up to Hourai, then passed right through the doll girl. Shanghai realized her sister had used her phasing power again. Hourai yelled in triumph as she brought her sword for a killng cut. Then there was the clang of metal as the boomerang flew back. It ripped the sword out of Hourai's hands. "Warned ya!" Tombstone crowed. Hourai didn't slow her charge. "Ha!" Hourai laughed as power surrounded her fist. "Too easy!" There was a blur of movement and Tombstone was flying over Hourai's head. "Too slow." Three boomerangs flew out knocking Hourai to the ground. Shanghai could see the damage was mostly superficial, but at this distance Tombstone could keep up the barrage easily. "Stop!" The two other dolls turned to look at her. "It's my turn." Hourai shakily stood up. "Hey, I can-" "Your trick didn't work Hourai. You won't have time to think of another." Shanghai leveled her gaze at Tombstone. "Now, let's see if you can beat my trick." "Hmph. Tricks are for the rodeo." Tombstone caught her boomerangs and returned them to her waist. "But if you're looking to lose I'll let ya. Ready?" Shanghai checked her weapons, then nodded. "Ready." "Then let's get this started!" Tombstone once again flipped a coin. This time the coin seemed to hang even longer in the end. Shanghai held her breath, forcing herself to watch both the coin and her opponent. The coin hit the ground with deafening ring. Shanghai started raising her weapon even as she pulled the trigger. The air sparkled around her, and her peripheral vision began to dim, almost as if her body was drawing in the light from the area. Tombstones movements, so fast a moment before, slowed to a crawl. Hourai seemed to be frozen stiff. Shanghai's gun was in line just as Tombstone started throwing her boomerang. Shanghai fired a full charged blast then ducked the slow moving projectile. Unlike everything else her bullet flew across the room at normal speed, slamming into Tombstone and sending her sister sprawling. Then the light faded and time returned to normal. Tombstones boomerang clattered against the far wall. Shanghai leveled her gun as Tombstone pulled herself to her knees, then slumped again. "Ya got me?" Tombstone's eyes rolled about then focused on Shanghai again. "That's... Germel's power?" Tombstone collapsed to the floor then sighed. "I should've stayed with the kid." Shanghai walked forward. "We might be able to help you, if you surrender." "Heh," Tombstone smiled weakly. "I ain't no quitter. Besides.... they're all waiting for me." The maverick doll let out one last sigh then closed her eyes. "I'll see you in hell, partner." Hourai stepped next to Shanghai as the orb of light appeared above their fallen sister. "That was a clever trick." "Thanks." Shanghai waited until her sister was ready, then they both reached for the orb. The light filled her then faded away again. She felt her weapons restored and she knew she would be able to fire boomerangs of her own, though not as fast as Tombstone. Across from her Hourai frowned. "A teleporting iaijitsu strike. That would have been helpful earlier." Shanghai couldn't help but smile at that. "Oh well. Next time." "I'm hoping there isn't a next time," Hourai muttered as she picked up Tombstones body. Shanghai's smile faded. "Yeah. Or at least that it's a danmaku fight." The sisters started back out the way they came, each of them thinking the same thing. "One more to go...." ===================== Quickdraw Doll Tombstone Purpose: Utility, Combat Tombstone is designed to quickly retrieve items at long distances. Or if needed opponents weaponry. It wouldn't be legal in a danmaku duel, but sometimes people get stupid ideas and I'd like to be able to disarm them without knocking them senseless. Finesse is important! Current status: Tombstones really fast, but her armor is still very weak. I need to improve that. Still she's useful. I think she's ready to join the other dolls in my arsenal. Medicine notes: Tombstone is a natural leader, though she talks a lot about challenging people to duels. I'm not sure if a leader's supposed to do that. Still she's nice to the other girls, and they tend to listen to her, even if some of them mope when she tells them to do something. I think Tombstone has a bright future ahead of her! |
| Metaflare:
Gunslinger doll :3 |
| Wolfsbane706:
The laser hall reminded me of the first Resident Evil movie, and I like how you modeled Tombstone after an old west gunslinger (even naming her after the town). |
| Hanzo K.:
Heh, Quickman, plus a gunslinger, given a very Alice flavor. I like that! Ya did good. |

The teleport was disorienting, but Shanghai quickly recovered her bearings. They were back in the living room again. Marisa, Yumemi and Chiyuri were all sitting around the table with a pot of tea and cookies. Shanghai wasn't thrilled with Alice's tea supply being raided, but since the trio of humans were looking after the house they would need to eat something. So instead of worrying she went straight to business. "Any luck finding Medicine?" Hourai sat down. "Or on devices to help us?" Chiyuri poured two cups of tea while Yumemi answered, "We haven't been able to get anything together other then a heat shield. It's not really easy to keep gunpowder from going off you know." Marisa took a sip of her tea. "No one's been able to tell us about Medicine's location either, though honestly that doesn't matter too much. No offense but we can handle Medicine. She can't just magically ignore being knocked out." Shanghai frowned as she sat down. "I suppose that's true." She helped herself to some of the snacks. "So how good is the fireproofing?" Yumemi placed two necklaces on the table. "Pretty good. It's not immunity but you should be able to take about what a normal shielded human can. Of course unlike the human you'll explode violently instead of dying of third degree burns, but you're going to avoid touching any fires, right?" "Yes." Shanghai and Hourai both affirmed as they put on the necklaces. Shanghai was pretty sure she'd have an aversion to fire no matter what. "So you gonna take the elevator?" Marisa asked. "Yep!" Koishi said. "It'll be easier then explaining things to the oni." Shanghai wanted to get up and start right then, but it was obvious that Koishi wanted to finish her tea first. Besides she had to admit a break was nice. They'd been keeping a harsh pace. Still both her and Hourai were fidgeting anxiously when Koishi finally stood. "Alright. Follow me!" The satori lead them on a quick flight to the elevator then down through the darkness into the depths of the underground. Shanghai vaguely remembered the trip she'd taken here with Marisa, and she had to admit this was a lot quicker. However, the speed of the journey didn't make the terrible glow of the hell of blazing fires any less worrisome. The trio popped out into the outer reactor. Koishi looked around for a bit. "Hm... It was, this way." Shanghai was mildly curious as to how Koishi knew which featureless expanse of endless lava she was supposed to go to, but she knew there was no point in asking. As they flew along Shanghai wondered how the residents of the underground could stand switching between the cold cave systems and the fiery heat of this layer. Maybe when Alice recovered Shanghai could suggest a test for that. Perhaps that's what this doll had been designed to do. "Hey!" Shanghai snapped back to the present at the cry. Looking up she saw Orin flying over. She got a little nervous when she saw the ghosts hanging around the kassha, but the evil spirits following her seemed perfectly comfortable in the skulls they were inhabiting. "Hello Orin. The cleanup crews arrived!" Koishi proclaimed with an unnecessary flourish. Hourai rolled her eyes, but Shanghai just stepped forward. "Just point us in the right direction. We'll handle the rest." Orin smiled widely. "Sure thing doll! That other girl is holed up in the magma tunnel there." Orin pointed at a crack in one of the few stones in this expanse. "Be careful though. I remember you girls blow up if you catch fire. That tunnels kinda tight, especially now that you two are bigger. And that other doll doesn't seem to care about the magma at all." "Anything else to look out for?" Hourai asked. "Well normally I'd say ghosts, but that girl kicked most of em out. Honestly I think she might be there herself." Orin's smile faded a little. "The heat's been going up too. I think she's either getting stronger or angrier, and neither sounds good." Shanghai readjusted the grip on her gun. "Well just have to be stronger then." Orin chuckled. "Heh, you sound more like Marisa then your boss there." "What!" Shanghai gritted her teeth. There was no way she was anything like that thieving tactless.... Hourai grabbed her by the arm. "Thanks for the info. We'll be off." Shanghai reluctantly followed along behind her sister. However her annoyance vanished quickly as they reached the lava tunnel. Orin had been right about that. There was barely ten feet of clearance. "What'll we do if the tunnel becomes smaller?" "Find another way I guess," Hourai replied. "Lets take it slowly." "Right." The two entered the tunnel and moved along carefully. It twisted and turned often, and rose and fell as well. At one point there was only two feet between them and the lava beneath. Shanghai was glad she didn't sweat. She was also very glad she could fly. "I'm glad this isn't like the tengu manga or kappa games. Otherwise we'd have to do some annoying block puzzle or something." "Yeah. That would really suck." Hourai carefully ducked through another tight spot before clearing room for Shanghai to follow. "Strange though. We haven't hit any real resistance." "Yeah." Shanghai ducked under herself to find it opened up into a wider cavern. "Everywhere else had enemies or traps to delay our progress. So far we haven't run into anything like that." "Because I want to destroy you myself!" Shanghai dashed towards the ceiling as the room began shaking violently. As she watched a platform of black obsidian slowly rose from the lava beneath. Lava oozed off the platform in blazing streams. And in the center of it all was a doll wearing crimson with gold trimmings the same color as the magma that dripped from her. Around her ghosts slowly circled, and Shanghai could see hatred in her eyes. "You've finally come to my hell, murderers. I am Dis! I will avenge my sisters and then bind your souls to the torments they rightly deserve!" Shanghai switched her weapon to her air cannon but she held back. "Look, it doesn't have to be like this. Alice will repair all of our sisters. You don't have to waste your life fighting here." "Ha! Alice?" Dis' stare turned to contempt. "You expect Alice to repair us? Were you not listening little fools! We are not the sentient dolls Alice so desperately wants. We're doll youkai! Which means our dear creator won't be recreating us. She'll be making some other doll to replace us." Shanghai started to shake. Beside her Hourai gasped. "So that means...." "You didn't even know?!" Dis' hands erupted into flames and the souls around her swirled. "You murdered them all without knowing? Well then look! Look at the souls of those you've killed!" The ghosts around her slowed and Shanghai realized with horror that there were exactly seven of them there. "My sisters lives were cut short by you. But their souls stand with me. And I will take our vengeance!" Dis threw a blot of screaming fire straight at them. Shanghai barely dodged in time. "Now know the wrath of hell itself. Know the torment that awaits all those who speak against us dolls! The wrath of Dis!" Shanghai was still shaken, but it didn't take much effort to fire her cannon. The air blast hit Dis directly, but the winds just dissipated. "Useless!" Dis cried out as she retaliated with three fire motes. Shanghai dodged, but the motes exploded into pillars of flames when they hit the ground, pinning her in place. This had bought time for Hourai however. With a cry she dashed in, then vanished and reappeared right behind Dis. There was a flash of steel, and Dis rocked forward. "Ah! Sisters aid me!" Dis cried out. The souls floating around her merged into her body, and her body burst into liquid fire. Steam gushed over the field as the two dolls dashed through each other. Shanghai saw Hourai's phasing saved her from injury, and more importantly her bubble trail had injured Dis slightly. "Hourai, she's weak against water!" "Let's see you try to exploit that!" Dis yelled as she threw several more fire motes. Shanghai and Hourai were forces to retreat again as the lava exploded up again. Shanghai took the time to equip her bubble cannon. As soon as the flames cleared she fired a shot. The tough bubble flew from her gun, then dropped like a rock and exploded into steam against the lava floor. She swore. "This weapon is useless!" "Then we'll just have to fight normally," Hourai said as she moved to get another iai cut in. Dis snorted and threw another triple fire blast. Shanghai smelled the acrid scent of burning silk as a near miss burnt part of her dress. But she still hadn't been hit. When the flames died again Shanghai unleashed a barrage of normal shots. She thought one struck true, but Dis exploded into flame again and wiped out the rest of the bullets. Shanghai had to dodge her sister's fiery rush. As Dis reformed Hourai again appeared next to her and let off a sword swipe. Dis rocked sideways, but the souls surrounding her seemed to blunt the strike. "No! I won't be beaten!" she screamed. Dis flung her flames wildly, and the walls exploded where the motes hit. The cavern rocked as lava poured in through the holes. The waves of heat sent shock-waves through the air itself. Shanghai had to activate her shoes to stay in flight. "You fool! You'll bring the ceiling down on us like this!" Dis laughed wildly. "That's right! Join us in this eternally burning hell dear sisters! I can survive the heat, can you?!" Shanghai aimed her weapon, but she hesitated. Did she have the right to kill someone? Would Alice really abandon these dolls because they weren't really her creations? Could Alice even do anything? Dis didn't hesitate at all. Once again she unleashed her hellfire, stopping Hourai's charge halfway, and bringing down a chunk of the roof. Shanghai gritted her teeth. Whatever the answers she no longer had a choice. She couldn't die here. She pulled the trigger, sending a full charge shot screaming into Dis' body. Dis screamed again as the shot hit her. But she didn't fall. She raised her arms. "I won't let you escape your crimes!" Flames encircled her hands and a column of fire smashed into the ceiling. Shanghai gasped in fear as she saw cracks form in the roof. "No!" She began firing as fast as she could, but the uncharged shots burned away in the flames that surrounded Dis' body. The ceiling began to give in. And then Hourai dashed through Dis once again. Fire turned into steam. And the cavern imploded with a deafening roar. When the debris finally settled Hourai was standing next to a pile of rocks with a single arm sticking out of it. Eight ghosts now spun above the rubble, where a globe of light floated. "Well you two kids sure made a mess didn't ya?" Shanghai slowly looked up to see Orin floating down through the hole in the cavern. "Looks like you did the job though. Good work!" There was a rasp of steel as Hourai interposed her blade between the kassha and the souls of their sisters. Shanghai blinked in surprise, then when realization hit she moved to her sister's side. Orin looked at the two in shock for a bit, then laughed. "I see. That's cute. Don't you little dolls worry your heads. I don't eat souls before they're ripe. Especially not unique souls like these girls." Shanghai had the feeling the only thing stopping the kassha from patting them on the head was the sword in Hourai's hands. "I promise you kids I'll take good care of your sisters. At least until you summon them up or something. Though don't wait too long. Souls kinda age ya know." "You can trust Orin," Koishi said, appearing behind them. "She's very picky about the spirits she keeps." Shanghai sighed and relaxed. After a moment Hourai grudgingly did as well. Orin nodded then held out her hand. The spirits of the dolls swayed, then one by one floated up to the kassha, settling around her person or in the skulls around her. Shanghai looked at them one more time, then turned to the orb. "We'll be back for them." Hourai moved opposite her. The sisters looked each other in the eye before hesitantly reaching for the orb. Light flowed through Shanghai once again, healing her wounds and cooling the heat around her. When it cleared she knew that she could shoot flames from her gun, and even charge the powerful weapon. Somehow that didn't see important though. She reached down and took the hand sticking out of the rubble. "Do you think we'll be able to teleport her like this?" Hourai nodded. "I'm pretty sure. And well, we'll have to return here anyways." Shanghai winced, then sighed. "Right. Then let's go home." They would have a lot to talk about there. ---------------------------- Fireproof Doll Dis Purpose: General Use While stuffing my dolls with gunpowder is great as a way of cleaning them up quickly and as an attack method, it leave me with a significant weakness. I need some dolls that are immune to fire to make sure I'm never caught without some backup. This will make recycling them harder, but not impossible. And it's worth the time for safety. Dis has been an incredible success. She not only is immune to fire, but she boosts fire spells cast through her. My only regret is I can't produce too many dolls like her or I'll spend all my time recycling them before they get possessed. Medicine notes: Dis is strong. Really really strong! And she has power over a dolls natural enemy: fire. Well some dolls are immune I suppose, but not any of us. I think she's a little lonely because of that though. She seems to be afraid her powers will hurt the others. I think she cares about her sisters as much as Tombstone does, but she doesn't let them too close. Maybe I can look up some fireproofing stuff to so she doesn't feel so worried. |
