> "I guess that's one solution, the Young Mistress did manage to blow up her tank and 'Ultimate creation' before." Genji admitted.

> Your group goes onwards! Every now and then you see burn marks on the walls, probobly where there was an explosive trap that Rikako handled.

One Hour ago:

Letty Whiterock has taken you to a place where you haven't been before. A mountain-range. Oddly, there dosen't seem to be any other fairies around here.

> "Yes... it is around here somewhere... the threat to Gensokyo's Winter." Letty muttered under her breath, before she turned to the little ice fairy.

> "Right, show me how hyou've developed over the last nine months Cirno. Don't worry, you know I've never made you go poof every other time I've asked you to do this, and it won't change this time." Letty said.

> You are now Cirno.

> "I know..." Letty said.

> "Since when did you start accepting me as an equal? You've matured a little!" Letty said, smiling.

> You're already flying. Still, you prepare yourself for battle, as does Letty. Even you start feeling a little cold as Letty 'cools down', a mist of ice forming around her.

> "I'm aware. Marisa told me what's been happening over the year. I was awake when Rumia entered Gensokyo, in her origional form, I know what she's capable of." Letty said, as if it was no big deal.

> You make some icicles form around yourself, ready to strike. "Is this hesitiation, or is it a plan? Either way, normally you'd have just instantly spammed Icicles, or regardless of which it is... it's an improvement in tactics." Letty said.

> You fire vollys of icicles, which you can actually fire very, very rapidly when you are doing so in a foward-focus type. However, when they hit Letty's mist they slow down and fall to the ground.

> You know this barrier works on the same principals as your Perfect Freeze technique, freezing something to absolute zero, stopping it's movement. Of course, you don't understand WHY this makes even danmaku stop. Letty explained something about 'cold sapping energy' before, but you didn't understand it.

>Let's use our version of the giant ice hammer!

> You dodge out of the way, not very dignified, but you dodge, towards Letty.

> That's because, as you declare, you have a counter-attack! You form your own Ice-hammer, which is significantly smaller than the one Letty used to shatter your Iceburg. However, it's also formed in your hand, which you swing at Letty. After all, if a projectile spam didn't work, this is the next best idea, right?

> Letty blocks your swing with her left hand, which you notice is covered in a layer of ice, and has... bars of ice coming from the arm to Letty's body. You've not seen this before... she... froze herself?

> The ice over Letty melts. "This is what I intended you to work on. Ice Armor. You're already capable of forming most types of offense with Ice, and you have more than enough imagination to make objects out of ice. Yet you are a fairy. You are frail. This technique would alleviate it... but you have to time it right, because freezing yourself obviously makes it very difficult to move whatever you freeze."

> "It also can be used in an offensive manner... but if I try to do that to you, you'll poof, so I won't do it to you, instead..." Letty said, forming an Ice-Cirno, before covering her hand in Ice, turning it into an icicle, and stabbing through the Ice-Cirno, shattering it. "Doing something like that can allow for faster counter-attacks then forming a whole new ice object. Expanding Ice instead of createing something totally new."

>"Wow..."
>Hey, let's try what she just did! Let's make a generic-looking ice statue, leave it floating, then try to do what Letty did!

> You make an ice-block. It falls to the ground, because you can't keep large floating bits of ice... floating, unless you solely focus on it. So you land on the mountainside and make a block of ice.

> You try to do what Letty did. It takes a few tries to actually freeze your hand, seeing as it has to remain somewhat still to do so. Then you expand the ice into a spike, and try to smash the ice. You suceed in smashing ice... on your hand. It kinda hurts a bit too.

> "Hmm, I forgot you don't have as much weight behind your strikes as me..." Letty said. She is a fair bit taller than you, fairies are about the size of a 6 year old child, while Letty is Adult-sized. "A key thing about the Ice Armor is Ice breaks easily. You have to make the ice very dense. You know, like the snow buried under a lot more snow is all hard. The density comes with practise."

>Compact the ice together so that it's the same as if we expanded the ice, only smaller and tighter!

> You coat your right forarm in ice, and decide to make it denser and denser by adding more layers of ice, and then crushing it down.

> You try again, and the ice breaks again, although this time there is a decent dent.

> You try again, and this time your 'lance' snaps instead of outright shattering.

> You try again... and your arm gets stuck in the ice block, resulting in Letty having to thaw the ice a bit so you could got out, because you were panicing a little too much to recall you could thaw it a bit yourself.

> Each time the impact hurts less and less, and you're forming the armor part faster and faster, although adding the sharp bit is taking the same level of time due to more layers.

> On the 6th attempt, you shatter the ice block, although your armor also breaks.

> You re-make the ice-block. Bit pointless attempting to smash the block when there's nothing to smash.

> Instead of just making your ice extend into a sharp point at the end, you do something a little different, as you freeze your open plam over, you keep the ice going, making what almost looks like a sword. It's not very long, but it's thin, and looks pretty sharp.

> You swing it against the ice block. This action sends a bit of a jolt across your arm when it impacts, but the ice-sword gets about halfway through before it stops and snaps.

> Letty looks more intruiged by your sudden change in tactics, but hasn't said anything.

>Now let's change it up again, this time making the head of a large warhammer, just like we tried earlier!

> "Sword Freezer?" Letty asked.

> You try to form a war-hammer, but you find you can't the first time, a sword just forms. Then you try with your fist clenched, and it works. It seems easier to make certain objects around your hand based on the position your hand is in. Which makes sense, even to you, it's easier to make something if the shape to start with is right!

> You try to smash the block of ice with your hammer, but it just glances off, cracks appearing in both. You keep whacking, until the ice block breaks... and bottom half of the hammer breaks off too. Still, there is something there.

> You see Letty form a lump of ice, and then she forms a wide, massive blade, shattering the block in one blow. "You're advanceing quicker than I expected... so I decided to show you my preferred form. If you're anything like me, you'll find something that just suits you. I find it a lot easier to form this claymore than anything else." Letty said. "I doubt it'll be anything as large and unweildly as this, especially given your own size."

> The blade Letty made is indeed bigger than you are.

> "Well, the main advantage is it's faster to form as a counter-attack, and, if you haven't heard, you are supposed to weild a weapon as an extension of yourself... and this is taking that saying literally." Letty explained.

> You try making a blade similar to Letty's claymore. A smaller version, due to your size. It dosen't feel right, not at all. This is further confirmed when the blade just breaks on the ice.
