Magi-Borne (A Touhou Project Fanfiction)

Murder the Maker

Patchy walked slowly towards me, blade at the ready while she closed the other arm.

"Now, shall we begin?"

She dashed forwards, and thrusted the blade which I dodged by rolling over to the side. Afterwards I readied my Hakkero to shoot some star shaped danmaku at her, which barely grazed her.

"Try something else."

I shot a laser, which pierced through her chest. She barely flinched, and she just took some of her own blood from the hole I made on her, and licked it.

"So this is what my own blood tasted like... Sweet, yet it had some metallic aftertaste... Now, I shall taste yours after I'm done here."

I pulled out my katana from it's scabbard and moved forward while shielding myself using the blunt part of the blade.

She uses her own blade to strike me down, but I managed to withstand her even though the floor beneath me cracked.

We locked our blades together, sparks flying out from the metals.

"Join me, Marisa... And we'll be the queens of the new Gensokyo."

"I'll pass, Patchy!"

With one burst of strength, I managed to push her off, and I thrusted the katana into her chest before pulling it out, making blood spray out from the wound like a fountain.

Patchy didn't even flinch despite the major lost of blood. She stood up perfectly, and she readied a stance and spun around as I do a backflip to endure her blade.

However her spin turns out to be a feint move, as she stopped mid-way and she thrusted her left arm, which has the razor sharp claws forwards. With a perfect timing, I managed to swipe the arm off using the blunt side of the katana, making her kneel from the recoil.

I did a roundhouse kick afterwards which she evaded by crouching down, and she hopped backwards, her 4 tomes floating behind her.

"Just accept your fate and be a part of me, Marisa! Then we'll be happy forever..."

Then multiple spells were fired out from the tomes. Each one is firing a different element; the two on her right shoots out a blast of fire and wind which enlarged the former, while the other shoots out water and thunder.

I managed to evade the inferno, and I trapped the huge surge of lightning using the katana, but the water then flowed across.

I feel myself being electrocuted alive. My whole body feels the extreme heat and tingling sensation from the electricity. After a few seconds the feeling stopped, replaced by total numbness.

I knelt down, and fell face first to the floor.

Patchy cackled at the sight of my body lying limp on the floor, and I felt the heavy heel of her shoe crushing my skull.

"Give in."

"Never..."

Using my last amount of strength, I took my vial and injected it into my right hip. Feeling the strength coming back to me, I stood up overpowering her before she hopped backwards.

I pulled out my mini-hakkero, and aimed it at her.

"Magic sign - Master Spark!"

I fired down master Spark, which she blocked using a magic barrier but it managed to destroy the books behind her. No need to fear her use of magic by now.

I dashed forward, aiming to plunge my blade into her body again, but in the last second I widened my eyes.

She turns out to be hiding another tome beneath her dress and it floated out before firing out a ray of light.
