Rumia.
>"Point still stands though. If she wanted you involved in all this, she would've told me about you. It's thanks to her that I am who I am today after all. My guess is that this sealing was her idea of a time-out. Compared to her, you're still technically a child after all, parent's always older and all that."

Rika
>Wow, for once the idiot has a point....Kinda.

> "No, it doesn't. You think I care what she wants? I chose the path of the human, not the path of a youkai. Gensokyo is my inheritance, if she wishes it or not!" Enkura insists, as the area changes from Makai to the night sky... as seen from the moon.

> After this, Enkura swings her hand, as if grabbing a star, and then swings as if she is a baseball pitcher, and launches the 'star' at you.

Rumia
>Heh. "I guess I'll give this baseball thing that Sanae talked about a try. Fore!"
>Pull out Unified Chaos, load it with some stabilized energy, and swing it at the 'star' to send it flying right back at her!

Rika
>Facepalm. Of all the Youkai, Humans, or Demons we could've picked, we had to pick her.

> Enkura grins, as she counters with at least twenty comets shooting around her, destroying the little star she threw.

> You facepalm, but in honestly you're glad it's her. After all, who else would have the idea to try and smash a star back? It's both crazy and awesome.

>Let's focus even more energy into the sword, and settle into a stance where we're holding the sword in front of us.
>Then take a single step forward, lifting the sword over our head as we lift our foot, and then swing the sword directly down at the same time as our foot lands to fire a sword wave with all the energy we put into it!

Rika

> You pour more Chi-infused dark energy into the blade, before you unleash it in a single overhead swing, which sends out a wave that shatters the comets that would have hit you... and then a few more.

> Enkura defends against it with some sort of shield, which looks battered after taking the hit, but then vanishes afterwards.

---

> Well, in this sort of fight, you guess both sides do. That said, you tested out the hypergravity cannon too...

> She's your crazy idiot. Someone else can have that ice fairy!

---

> Enkura points towards both you and Rika, before a field of large spikes starts to erupt from the ground, at a high speed, from her to both of you.

> You can still create a minigun easily! You can't duel-weild them, however. Still, you defend yourself with that.

> Tenshi drops a load of keystones, before she turns to Enkura.

> "I'll use the emotions I extracted from you two, combined together, for my strongest attack!" Tenshi says, gathering a massive amount of energy in her blade.

> "Ooh, this one's fun~" Enkura comments.

> "Scarlet Weather Rapture!" Tenshi cries, unleashing a master-spark like blast of crimson from her sword.

>"Hey, Enkura! If you chose the path of a human, why not just put your youkai side in its own body like you did with my crazy side? Then you wouldn't be part-youkai anymore."
>If it's the youkai/celestial combination that drove her crazy, seperating the two might help de-crazy her.

> "... Those emotions. Love. That's what the mix's greatest emotion was, I believe. Funny. Such an emotion is something that has no meaning for me." she says.

> "I'm not like you! Where there was another mental being waiting to be plucked out! I only have one mind! I could make a youkai me from my imagination, but that wouldn't do anythi..."

> She suddenly smirks, as about then clouds form around her.

> "Actually, you have a point, I can imagine more of me." she says, as the clouds turn into... well... more of her.

>Rumia: More bodies, maybe, but they're still just copies. Nice trick, though.
>"Hey, how far does your power go, anyways? Could you, like, make your own world, like Shinki did?"
>"Question: why do you want to take over Gensokyo, anyways? Yeah, I get that whole 'birthright' thing, but why do you want that? What'll you do if you do take over?"

>Rika: Form some automatic missile drones to blow up the copies.

> "Checkmate." Enkura suddenly says, as a red mist comes from your head. "You thought of who I wanted you to! I don't know her well enough to form her, but with your thought..."

> The red mist forms into a copy of Shinki for a second, and then vanishes.

> "Huh?" Enkura goes. "Why didn't that work?"

> Tenshi seems to be thinking about this.

> "Isn't it simple? I'll make Gensokyo whatever I want it to be. With whoever I want in it." Enkura says. "With my power, it's my playground."

---

> You launch a barrage of rockets at the clones. They all do various things to defend against it. It seems each copy has the same power as the original.

[Note: Yes, this is kinda a puzzle boss]

>Rumia: "Can't you just make your own world and do that there?"
>Shinki's power is creation, right? That's similar to Enkura's. Maybe that has something to do with why Enkura can't recreate her.
>Wait. Shinki put her own energy into us. Maybe we can...
>Focus on Shinki, on the energy of hers within us. See if our thoughts can reach her through it.
>Shinki, can you hear me? It's Rumia. I'm fighting someone named Enkura, and her power is much like yours. I don't know how long I can last, and I could really use your help.

>Rika: Construct bombs with miniature warping devices. Throw them at the copies, and when the copies try to defend, have the bombs warp behind them and explode.

> "I don't want my own world, I want this one!" Enkura protests.

> You try to mentally contact Shinki. Nothing happens, however, you do realize something from Shinki's energy inside you. Of course it can't be replicated... it's something beyond comprehension and imitation... it's the power of a god. How can imagination, or memory call forth something who's power cannot be comprehended by the mind?

> Enkura tries for form Shinki again, this time, when she tries, the copies of her vanish, and she shakes her head.

> "I don't get it..." she groans. "Why can't I make her? Oh well, I'll just have to try something else."

---

> Since the copies vanished, you just throw the bombs you made at the real Enkura. She tried to explode them at a distance with some projectiles, but they warp behind her. She blocks the blast with a barrier, but still stumbles forward.

> You note Rumia is up to something, and keep up your barrage of bombs. It's worth noting making things teleport is causing your energy reserves to drop. You're down to about 20% now.

---

> You attempt to channel divine energy into the sword, but that doesn't work, instead, the sword responds by unleashing it's own, and starts to glow with a mixture of red, blue, white and black.

> You charge Enkura, who is being bombarded by Rika, and slash her. You certainly hit her, but nothing much happens except she howls in pain. No actual damage.

> "A Celestial's body cannot be harmed, but they still feel pain." Tenshi explains, before she follows up with a strike from herself.

> Enkura falls to her knees. Clearly, taking hits is something she's not used to.

> Suddenly, without warning, there is a loud crack, and huge, wing-like ruptures in reality form from her back, the eyes of the gap zone looking through, darting around.

> "You won't stop me... doing as I wish!" she screeches, sounding even more deranged than before, as she flies towards a hole in the area, seemingly she's opened up the exit.

---

> Your drones fire, but they don't do anything, the ruptures just furl and absorb the blasts.

> You fire off a huge slash and sword-wave, which she runs right into. There is a horrendous scream, as she falls to the ground, twitching. Even though her body is unharmed, you think that probobly felt like she just got bisected.

> Suddenly, there is another cracking sound, and the reality rips get larger. A huge arm emerges from one of them, with a hude blade attached to it. The hand swings into you, and knocks you out of the way of the way out, although Enkura doesn't move towards it.

> At the same time as the arm appears, you hear Maribel, from the other side, cry as if she's in pain.

> "Don't tell me that rip in reality she's made is hurting the kid!" Rika says.

> You slash the arm, but it only makes a small cut. The arm defends with it's own mounted weapon when you try to attack Enkura, before it thrusts out with the palm, and sends a shockwave, knocking you back. Whatever this thing is, it's stronger than anything she's called upon before... and she's unconscious.

> It's strong, although, unlike Enkura, the fact you caused a cut in it shows it's not invulnerable. You'd put it pretty high up on the scale.

> You drop the darkness, all it'll do is hamper Tenshi. Following, you fire a beam of dark energy at the stream of fire, from your sword just for cool points. The blast of dark energy actually overwhelms the fire, but the arm takes no visible damage from it.

> "Yeah, seems like it." Rika agrees. "I'm reading a high amount of magical energy from the glowing arm, and very little from the bulky-looking one, by the way."
