?The world is veiled in darkness. The wind stops, the sea is wild, and the earth begins to rot,
The people wait, their only hope, a prophecy....
'When the world is in darkness Four Warriors will come....'
After a long journey, four young warriors arrive, each holding an ORB.? Sanae giggled excitedly, ?this is just like Final Fantasy!?
?There's only three of us though,? Marisa pointed out.
?And we're not holding anything,? Reimu also pointed out.
?Where's your sense of adventure? Of romance!? Sanae yelled.
?Running into a fortress that suddenly appeared and started draining our lands energy without a plan is hardly my idea of romance,? Reimu said.
?You say that like we had a plan every other time we rushed in somewhere,? Marisa laughed.
?AH-HEM!? a person ahead of them coughed loudly.
?What is that?? Marisa pointed at it. It was a short really tan looking girl. Her skin was almost red and she had a Golden Crown on her head that looked like a mountain. Her white hair was cut short and her side burns pointed out at you and didn't cover her large ears.
?I am not a that! I am Hanuman!? She yelled.
?I think it's an enemy,? Marisa said.
?I am no enemy! I'm asking what business you have at Pamcha Mahabhuta and if I don't like your answer I will have to ask you to leave,? she said sternly.
?That sounds like enemy talk to me,? Marisa responded.
?Please,? Reimu put her hand on Marisa's shoulder, ?let's try not to pick a fight with everything this time.? She turned her attention to Hanuman, ?Is that Pamkuna Matata--?
?Pamcha Mahabhuta,? Hanuman corrected.
?Yes, that thing. Is it that fortress?? Reimu pointed.
?Yes it is,? Hanuman answered.
?We're going to stop it, it's draining our lands energy,? Reimu answered.
?I am afraid I can not let you do that. We need the energy for Akasha,? she said and readied her weapon.
?Told ya, she was an enemy,? Marisa said and pulled out her Mini-Hakkero.
?I guess it's down to what we're good at then,? Reimu said.
Reimu and Sanae flew in to close the distance between them and Hanuman, Marisa flew back. Reimu started throwing out homing talismans and Sanae throwing out snakes in all directions.
?You think some snakes and pieces of paper are enough?? Hanuman taunted. ?And why aren't you doing anything?? She pointed at Marisa who has been setting back and watching.
?I didn't really feel like it, but if you insist,? she pointed the Mini-Hakkero at Hanuman. ?MASTER SPARK!? she yelled and a large beam erupted from the device and engulfed Hanuman. When it cleared, she stood there staggering.
?I'm telling Yayu on you!? she yelled and ran off into the fortress. The three girls all looked at each other and nodded and gave chase.
They chased her to the top of the fortress where there was a lush garden filled with many different kinds of fruits and vegetables and two rows of trees leading down a path. Hanuman flew down the path and entered the door at the end. When the others tried to fly through the door, it slammed shut.
?My, my,? a sophisticated sounding voice came from behind them. They turned around and saw a woman in a long flowing light blue dress, she was carrying a trident. And her long dark blue hair reached past her waist and she was wearing a golden tiara with a giant ruby inserted in it. ?I am Ap,? she said reaching out a hand and helping Reimu up. ?And what brings you all up here?? She said with a gentle expression.
?We're here to catch that monkey!? Marisa yelled.
?No,? Reimu said placing her palm over her face, ?we're here to shut this place down.?
Ap's face darkened, ?I'm sorry, but I can't allow that. I must ask you to leave.?
?We're going to have to decline,? Sanae said.
?So be it,? she picked up her trident and pointed it at Reimu.
?Careful,? Sanae shouted, ?she has a type advantage over you!?
?What?? Reimu shouted, insulted.
?She's a water type and you're a fire type!? Sanae explained. Reimu looked at Marisa, who shrugged. She looked at Ap, who also shrugged. Reimu took that second to throw a talisman at her. It exploded and she staggered back. Ap jammed her trident into the ground and created a tidal wave that expanded in all directions. They all jumped over it. Marisa started focusing on Ap with her basic laser.
?I've got this!? Sanae yelled. ?KANAKO!? she threw out her hand and a vapory Kanako appeared behind her and threw many onbashiras straight at Ap. She jumped to try and avoid them, but they rotated and knocked her in the foot, throwing her to the ground. She tried to get up again.
?Stay down!? Reimu yelled and threw another talisman at her. It exploded and she fell back down.
The door opened behind them and they ran down the stairs and into the fortress. Looking around, it was well light and covered in gold.
?When this is done, you think I could take a wall back home?? Marisa asked.
?Why?? Reimu asked.
?So I can melt it down and sell the gold of course,? Marisa laughed.
?Of course,? Reimu rolled her eyes.
?We lost that monkey,? Sanae said suddenly. They all stopped and looked around. Reimu looked at a large door.
?Let's check that one out,? she ran to it and opened it. There was a woman standing there, waiting on them.
?Hmph,? she said eyeing them over. ?So you're what all the fuse is about.? This woman was wearing a green pointed hat with a brown out line that looked a little like cow horns. She had wavy brown hair cut just above the shoulders And she was wearing a green shirt with a gold design around her stomache that looked like another pair of arms. ?My name is Prithvi and you will not get past me.?
?Heard that before,? Marisa said.
Prithvi stomped into the ground and brought up a large rock and she punched it, causing it to splinter into many tiny rocks. They all flew towards the group. Marisa responded by throwing out many stars and Reimu and Sanae threw out more of their attacks from earlier. This joint attack cause Prithvi to stagger. After she regained her composure, she threw her arms out to her side. She stomped on the ground and flung her arms forward and three giant boulders came rushing at the group.
?I know what to do!? Marisa shouted, ?Non-directional laser!? she yelled and produced four beams and they rotated around her and destroyed and rocks and pushed Prithvi against the wall.
?Now take us to the control room,? Reimu demanded.
?No,? she said and stomped on the ground again. They fell for a really long time. They hit the ground with a thud. They looked up and saw the hole close up.
?Why that little, when I get back up there,? Marisa said, grabbing her broom and ready to fly off.
?What? How'd they get ahead of me!? They all turned around and saw Hanuman at the entrance of the room they were in.
?Monkey!? Sanae shouted.
?I'M NOT A MONKEY!? she yelled.
?Hey, hey now. What's going on down here?? They looked above them and saw a girl floating above them. She was wearing a sky blue outfit that left her belly button exposed. Her hat was particularly strange. It was red, orange, and yellow on top and was green wrapped around her head and was blue, indigo, and violet flowing behind her. She also had a friendly smile.
?Vayu, they called me a monkey!? Hanuman yelled.
?It's probably the ears,? Vayu said bluntly and Marisa laughed to herself. ?But never mind that,? she held out her hand and just lowered her ring finger, ?Check this out, Prana BEAM!? she yelled and a beam erupted from her hand.
?Whoa!? Marisa yelled and jumped back and grabbed her Mini-Hakkero. ?Master Spark!? she yelled and the two beam collided and exploded into a large burst of energy!?
?Ha ha ha,? Vayu laughed. ?That was awesome!?
?I'm guessing she's the Marisa of this group,? Sanae said.
?Did you see that, Hanuman?? Vayu started looking around and saw Hanuman slumped over against the wall and sighed, ?Silly Hanuman, terrible time and place for a nap.?
?Yea, most likely the Marisa of the group,? Reimu agreed.
?Alrighty,? Vayu said floating down, ?let's get down to business. You guys want something and I don't want you guys to have it. And I'm bored enough to put up a fight. So why don't you turn around.?
?Could you point me to the treasury?? Marisa asked.
?Hmm,? she pretended to ponder, ?no.?
?Can I take a wall with me??
?Alright, but you got to take the one separating my room from Ap's.?
?Deal,? Marisa said.
?That settles it,? Reimu said and Sanae nodded.
?Let's loosen the foundation then,? Vayu said and floated up.
?Even after all of that, we still have a fight,? Reimu sighed.
?I'm out of bombs,? Marisa added.
And with that, a whirlwind surrounded Vayu and two lightning bolts struck out and started rotating along with the whirlwind. The group started circling around with the lighting bolts and firing at Vayu. After a few moments the whirlwind and bolts stopped. Vayu's eyes lit up with excitement. Bolts of lightning started rotating out of her. And if that wasn't enough, she started firing off Prana Beams.
?That's it!? Sanae yelled suddenly. ?SUWAKO!? she yelled and a black orb surrounded Vayu and energy was being poured into it. Then there was a sudden release of the energy ontop of Vayu and she fell to the ground.
She looked up, ?This is exciting, I almost never get to use this attack!? She said and floated to the air. She stopped in the air and there was ripple behind her and then she suddenly took off and flew towards the wall. The group all jumped out of the way. But where she was, rainbow of bullets erupted and started following Vayu. But before the first bullet reached her, she jumped again.
?She's moving too fast,? Sanae said.
?This is one of the times where we have to wait until they tire themselves out,? Reimu said.
?Easy for you to say when you have all three bombs left,? Marisa said.
Vayu jumped again and bullets were coming from all directions. ?Fantasy Seal,? Reimu said waved her arms and multi-colored bullets came out and cleared away all of Vayu's bullets. After seeing this Vayu jumped four times in quick succession. She was about to jumped again, but stopped suddenly. All the bullets vanished and they all turned and looked Vayu who was visibly out of breath.
?You...guys...are good,? she said. ?I can't...keep up...like this.? She let out a few deep breaths. ?Go ahead, I won't stop you.? She pointed ahead of them before falling over. Once again the three looked at each other and nodded before running ahead.
They entered a new room with a giant status tube, it appeared that something was in there but it was hard to make out. There were all sorts of tubes leading into the status tube; pumping all sorts of things into it and making it hard to see. There was a woman with fiery red hair over looking the whole thing. She turned when she heard the group enter. There were rings around her eyes, it appeared that she hasn't slept in days.
?You will not stop me from bring Akasha back!? she yelled.
?No reasoning with this one,? Reimu said. The others nodded in agreement.
The woman yelled and rushed at the group. Reimu cocked an eyebrow at this and simply swatted her away with her Shide. The woman caught it and smirked, ?Honestly now,? she said and picked it and Reimu up and threw them aside. ?I may not have slept in awhile, but do not under estimate me!? she said.
?And who are you?? Marisa asked.
?Agni,? she responded. It was at that point, they noticed her hair, the reason it appeared so fiery was the fact that it was on fire. She waved her hands in front of her and two pillars of fire rushed at Sanae and Marisa. They jumped out of the way and started focusing on her. Agni jumped out of the way and clasped her hands together and then thrust them forward, producing a large fireball that split into many smaller fireballs before heading towards Sanae and Marisa. Out of the corner of her eye, Agni spotted a talisman and jumped out of the way.
Agni looked towards the sky and pointed at the ground in front of Sanae. The entire fortress started and shaking and a flaming rock fell from the sky and exploded in front of Sanae. She put up her arms and was pushed away. Agni looked up again and this time pointed straight at Marisa.
?MOVE!? Reimu moved and teleported behind Agni and kicked her to the spot Marisa and the rock she called hit her instead.
?Heh heh heh,? she laughed. ?You're too late,? she said. There was the sound of glass breaking and they all turned around and saw the status tube shatter. A figure stepped out. It was ethereal, there were blue, green, sky-blue, and red clouds floating inside it that gave it the figure off a woman. ?But, that's not...? a worried look washed over Agni.
The clouds all turned blue and it raised it's hand towards Agni and burst of water rushed over her. She hit the wall and slumped over. It made a noise that sounded like a mix of laughter and coughing. It turned it's sights on the girls.
?It's going to attack!? Reimu yelled.
?Let's not give it the chance!? Sanae jumped in front, ?Kanako!? she yelled and Onbashiras flew at the being.
It flew backwards and hit the ground hard. It jumped back up and was green. It let out a growl and started throwing rocks. Marisa took off running and sled under one and jumped and hopped off another and started to alternate between her focus and unfocus. The being was taking more damage then it should have and fell to the ground.
?Hey,? Reimu said, giving an unamused look to Marisa. ?I thought you weren't going to cheat anymore.?
?I never agreed to that,? Marisa said looking up with her hands behind her head and whistling.
The being hopped up and let out a loud yell, changing it's color to sky-blue.
?Whatever,? Reimu said and started firing her homing talismans. The being built up energy in it's hand and fired it straight at Reimu. She did her teleport kick and the being went flying again. It changed it's color to red and stood up doing that weird laugh, cough.
?Do it,? Marisa said looking at Reimu.
?You have two left,? Sanae insisted.
?Yea, sure let's end this,? she said. ?Fantasy Seal,? she fired her multi colored orbs at the being and they all connected and it was knocked off it's feet again.
Before anyone could react, it flew into the sky and was colored gold. It let out a loud yell and burst of energy that knocked Marisa and Sanae out cold.
?So you want to do it that way,? Reimu sneered at the being and was met with it's laugh. ?Fine,? she pulled out her last card. ?Duplex Barrier!? The being let out another yell. With a flick of the wrist, Reimu redirected her barriers around the being and had her attack reflected back at her four times. This time the being vanished.
?And you said I cheated,? Marisa said from the ground.
?This is within the realms of what's possible,? Reimu retorted.
?I didn't know your Duplex Barrier worked like that.?
?It's my spell, it works how I want it to,? Reimu explained. ?Come on, let's go home.?
* * *
A couple days later at the Hakurei Shrine Marisa came crashing down from the sky. Reimu looked over at her friend lying in the ground and sighed, ?Can't you walk up the stairs like a normal person??
Marisa popped her head out of the dirt and shook her self off, ?Why bother learning to fly if I'm not going to use it??
?So did you come for any reason other than to eat my food??
?Yea actually, the trees in the Magical Forest have started coming back to life,? Marisa proclaimed with an oddly proud face.
?That's great!? Sanae said walking up the stairs, ?I came to say the fish in the lake at my shrine have returned as well.?
?I would like to apologize for that,? someone said from above them. They looked up and saw three figures hovering above the shrine. ?I made a miscalculation and drained to much energy from the land. What you fought off was that excess energy fused with Akasha here,? Agni pointed beside her. There was a young lady with long silver flowing hair and silver gown to match and her eyes were gold and purple.
?You just could stop until you killed a deer,? Marisa joked.
?Pfft, we killed more than just one,? Vayu laughed.
?Vayu? Why are you here?? Agni asked.
?I asked around and after she beats you, we get free food and tea,? Vayu said excitedly.
?Umm....you're not going to fight me again...are you?? Akasha asked in a squeaky voice.
?I wish, we'd have to win on a higher difficulty than easy,? Marisa said. Agni and Akasha looked at Reimu and she just sighed and shook her head.
?So, do you guys know Shou?? Sanae asked out of the blue.
?Nope,? Vayu said. ?Who is that??
?She's like the Avatar of Vaisravana or something,? Sanae explained.
Vayu floated down and got in Sanae's face, glaring. ?So what are you saying? Buddhism and Hinduism are the same??
?What? No! I just--? Sanae was flustered.
?That's racist, Sanae,? Marisa said.
?Racist,? Vayu said shaking her head.
Thwack**Thomp* Vayu and Marisa were cowering on the ground, holding there heads with an angry Agni and Reimu standing above them.
?Ignore those two,? Reimu said. ?Let's go inside and have some tea.?
?Fine!? Marisa shouted.
?Let's go have our own tea party!? Vayu said.
?Yea, our tea party will be a thousand times better than your teaparty!? Marisa shouted and the two of them left for Alice's house.
THE END
[/b]
I hope this fits. My first idea was of Agni, Vayu, and Prithvi being expies Reimu, Marisa, and Alice and going on adventures in there own place. But I didn't know if that would work, so this came up. Only Vayu's personality survived. Also her appearance and final spell card are totally not based on a certain pony. And on that note, Akasha's appearance is totally not Mary Sueish either :V
