Follow the Script

Chapter 10

Y/N: Clara, we need to cover Alice.

Clara: Right! Let's hope the others are fine on their own!

The turn began and for the second group too. Marisa still going strong, she grinned at her foes and tossed a few bottles in the air, exploding and creating massive lasers through the whole library and destroying many of the bookshelves that were being used as platerforms by Maria and Jenna.

Maria: She's fast, I have to give her that.

Jenna: Doesn't matter, we just need to predict her movements.

She replied, dodging a laser and punching a star flying in her direction afterwards. Unlike the other librarians and her abilities, she could easily do so with no problem. The many falling stars were dropped onto them, even stars that created other stars. The sight was overwhelming but both of them remained calm.

Maria: She really loves her stars.

Jenna: You can say that, that's almost the only thing she used.

Marisa: Ze, I can do plenty of tricks!

Jenna: That involve stars perhaps?

She mocked her opponent while kicking a nearby star-shaped Danmaku, rolling backward to avoid perfectly the rest of them. Maria, on the other hand, swung her sword in a horizontal line and majestic flames erupted from the rapier, like flowers blooming through the fire. Although they were flames, they devoured the stars like food and left nothing behind.

Maria: However, it has its charm.

Marisa: Someone gets it!

Maria: Not like it matters in the end, your stars won't do much inside a coffin.

She could give points to the technique of a foe but it doesn't change the fact that the both of them were trying to kill each other. It was better to stop conversations at that and end this quickly. Glancing at the trio fending off the pissed off shrine maiden, she focused back on the witch.

Maria: They'll be done soon with her. It was scary at first but everything's almost determined.

Marisa: Huh?

So concentrated on the battle, she didn't even notice that her ally was being attacked from all sides nonstop. Her eyes widened and she changed direction, aiming for the ones attacking Reimu.

Jenna: Space rupture!

Her attempt to flee was intercepted. Her fist swung to create a massive rip filled with electricty in front of her to keep her on their side. The ground vibrated accordingly and Maria jumped closer to grab the broom that was keeping the witch floating.

Marisa: Hey, let go!

Maria: ...Sure.

Placing her second hand on it, she moved all her weight down and forced her to lower just enough for the girl with blue hair to swing a good punch and snap the old thing in half. After all, it was just a branch and if her fists were able to create sounds capable of shattering one's eardrums, she wouldn't have any problem breaking a stick.

Marisa: Ze?!

Surprised, she dropped down with them to the cold floor and immediately searched inside her hat to pull out it a small, octogonal box. Unfortunately, she had to charge it before releasing the secret hidden inside it, time that her opponent would not allow her to have. The power of exterminating opponents with hatred itself was something that only someone else could do.

...A certain magical girl, who fights for her so-called "justice" and "love".

Jenna: Do you feel that?
