This episode was mostly written months in advance and written by my good buddy
Dragov_Art! Who may or may not feature again.
After a treacherous climb through Stormfront Palace, you've finally reached the throne room.
(Y/N): Alright, now or never...
You kick the door down, breaking the hinges. You grab the broken doors and throw them out of the room.
(Y/N): Don't want those getting in the way. ...why the heck's it so dark? Luminus.
The room brightens up, revealing your target sitting on her throne...Princess Elena Stormfront.
—--[Princess of Guidus, Vessel of the Abyss ~ Elena Stormfront]—--
(Not a Minecraft avatar, but there wasn't any better art)
(Y/N): Greetings, Princess. I assume you're one of the entities the IN quest pointed out.
Elena slowly claps.
Elena: So we finally meet...Eastern Dreamer. I'll admit, you've come quite far. From selecting Hard Mode, despite knowing the difficulty that comes with it, to gaining your Stand, Allusions, and becoming a living reference. To even taking up a fairy apprentice and training her into sage status. Too bad she's not here, I have a few things to say to her.
(Y/N): I could play messenger, once I'm done with you.
Elena sips her wine and smirks.
Elena: Not to mention, starting a harem of sorts.
(Y/N): Harem? I remember doing no such thing. At least, not intentionally.
Elena: Unintentionally or not, you did it anyway. Winning the hearts of the shrine maiden, various youkai and magicians, the Child of Miare, a ghost, a half-ghost, an immortal who is a princess like myself...
(Y/N): 'Wait, Kaguya was serious about that proposal? And I never thought Akyuu liked me in that way...'
Elena: ...And breaking the walls of the gap youkai's love. The "Boundaries of Love" you could call it. Honestly, that one's quite the feat.
(Y/N): Saw that one coming a mile away. I have the script.
Elena: ...And remember episode ten? With your future wife?
*Ironside Moment*
(Y/N): ...That was your Twelfth. Line. Can you not? If the 4th wall takes any more damage, it'll probably cease to exist.
Elena: ...I don't know...can I? Cause that's the plan.
(Y/N): You sure you really wanna play this game?
Elena: I dunno what kind of game you think this is, but I've already done the playthrough. I 100 percented the game. I've got the walkthrough guide already written out! I'm ready to put that thing on Reddit and get some karma, pal!
Hime: Look, we can solve this by talking it out-!
Hime gets shot with a light beam, and knocked back into the bag.
Elena: How's about you walk it out?!
(Y/N): One step forward, 2 steps back, Cinder Grab, Great Leap, E,R, TOD.
...Did you just-
Elena: ...Not bad. Anyway, you have, time and time again, defied odds and broken fate with your incredible physical, magical, and spiritual power, cunning strategy, as well as your somehow still unused plot armor...
Elena sits up.
Elena: But alas, (Y/N). Poor (Y/N). You won't have an easy time bringing me down.
You get into your battle stance.
(Y/N): I can tell... But not easy by no way means impossible...As you should full well know. Hiore! Ari! You're up!
You activate your regeneration, as the titular Reimu and Alice puppets fly out of the Puppet Bag.
Ari: We're ready, master. Let's do this.
Elena: Are you sure you want to do this? While the Abyssal King was defeated and resealed, and the kingdom evacuated, I still have an army.
Hiore: We have an Ari.
Elena: Ah, right, puppets. So be it. Also, you don't have plot armor here.
Shisutemu: [I don't like where this is going...]
(Y/N): Who needs plot armor?
Elena twirls her finger.
Elena: What were the words again... Ah, right. Royal Zerg Rush...Don't Care Enough.
Elena snaps her fingers, and the world warps.
Elena: Wait, what?
You engage battle, in the EBF5 system.
(Y/N): I'd be a fool to come in unprepared, Elena. Which is why I killed another god before coming here.
Elena: You were a fool to come here in the first place.
The blessed knights spawn regardless.

{Yin-Yang Bomb}: Advanced holy attack that ignores resistances and counters. Attack 3 random enemies, and heal the most damaged player. 1 turn cooldown.
Ari: [Attack] [Tactics] [Skill] [Summon] [Equip] [Item]
{Doll Wall}: Surround the team in dolls, granting them a collective 50 hit shield.
{Attack}: Send sword puppets at your enemies, hitting one enemy 5 times in total if single targeting or 5 hits at random amongst the enemies if targeting all.
Hiore scans. You use Blood Scourge, destroying the knights over 5 hits and critting Elena as well, doing 10 to her. Hiore's Yin-Yang Bomb donks Elena on the head 3 times, doing 3 damage and knocking away the wine glass. Ari surrounds the three of you in dolls with shields, and summons a few with swords to rush Elena. She parries the first, but the other 4 hit her. She swats the dolls away, and gets off her chair.
Elena: Well, guess you're not a dud after all.
[Boss HP: 233/250]
Elena: Let's see how quickly you're overwhelmed.
{Enemy Turn}
Elena appears directly in front of you. You avoid the stab and graze the resulting beam of light.
This repeats 2 more times for your Puppets.
Hiore: I didn't even dodge consciously...My body moved on its own. I guess this is what it's like to be an RPG character.
[Miss][Miss][Miss][Miss][Miss][Miss]
Elena jumps back to her original position.
Ari: Judging by how you work, damage and defense are meaningless, aren't they?
Elena: Precisely.
{Your Turn}
(Y/N): You two. Use your multi-hits.
Hiore: Right.
(Y/N): [Attack] [Tactics] [Skill] [Summon] [Equip] [Item]
You equip Superior and fire.
{Superior Shot}: Fire 3 times, with 4 shots each. Damage per bullet is low, but adds up quickly.
[3*4*2 = 24 DMG]
(Y/N): So, how's that armor?
Elena: ...Chip damage...ugh...
Hiore: [Attack] [Tactics] [Skill] [Summon] [Equip] [Item]
{Divine Hakurei Barrier}: Grant the team the Divine Grace buff, which lets them absorb all holy damage taken.
{Homing Sealing Amulet Storm}: Advanced non-elemental magic attack.
Fire 5 sets of 4 homing amulets that target the strongest enemy. Super high accuracy, 1 turn cooldown.
Ari: [Attack] [Tactics] [Skill] [Summon] [Equip] [Item]
{Subsitute}: Bring out a Pacifist doll, shield dolls that have very weak attacks but high resilience. Upon Bulwarking, it will taunt, inflicting Target upon itself for 5 turns.
{Bulwark}: Enter a defensive stance for 5 turns, during which the unit cannot act but has 90% damage reduction after all other calculations. Cannot be dispelled by an enemy.
(Target): All single-target attacks are aimed at this unit. Only one unit can have this status. Cannot be dispelled.
Ari brings out a Pacifist Doll, which taunts to draw attention. Hiore fires the homing amulets. For some reason, two seem to stick, applying hidden status effects.
[Boss HP: 189/250]
{Enemy Turn}
Elena uses beams of light, and is forced to target the Pacifist Doll. It absorbs the impact with little visible damage and strain, even giving a thumbs up to signify it's okay.
Elena: ...Impressive, for the dollmaker being a living doll themselves.
Ari: Takes one to know one.
[Haste]
(Y/N): Wha-
Elena: Did your scouter not read it? I can move at roughly 3 times the speed of light.
Speaking of light...
[Light Sign...]
{Elena is Charged!}
{Charged}: Ready to use a powerful attack. Cannot be dispelled.
{Your Turn}
For your first actions, you have everyone Graze as to avoid the lasers.
{Graze}: Dodge the next attack without fail at the cost of taking 10% of max health as damage.
As for your second...wait, it might be safe to use your semi-trump card. If Hiore did her job right... this could end next turn.
(Y/N): [Attack] [Tactics] [Skill] [Summon] [Equip] [Item]
{Max Edge}: Oversharpen the sword in your soul, maki- quit the cheese, man. Unable to attack the action after this buff's used up, but doubles the damage of your next move, once all other calculations are over.
{Allusions - Gates of Akkadia}: Despite these looking holy, they're non-elemental. Super high accuracy.
Unleash a hundred blades, doing very small chip damage per blade. Yes, it's 100 hits.
5 turn cooldown.
(Y/N): How's this?!
You unleash the Gates of Akkadia, at maximum power.
Elena: ...I can't even dodge this.
[2*100 = 200 DMG]
Elena: I am the Princess of Guidus... And I will not fall to this loophole madness! Spell Card...Light Born Enlightenment!
{The Blessed Knights have respawned!}
Hiore: Hakurei dammit...
{Elena has permanently gained Haste!}
{The Breaker Seal negated the shield!}
{The Leeching Seal negated the healing!}
Everyone but Hiore: HUH?!
Elena: Ok, that's not fair!
Hiore: Never said it was, sister!
(Y/N): Hiore, you crafty little doll! You really are a Reimu at heart!
Hiore smugly bows.
Hiore: I try.
Elena: So, you like gimmicking, hm?
["Divine Decimation"]
The lasers fire. All 3 of you graze the attack.
(Y/N): Wait a minute! Your health's 0!
Elena: And?
[BGM: Phyrnna - Blaze of Iris]
{Elena now acts during all turns!}
{You can now act during Elena's turn!}
{Elena now gains Dodge after attacking!}
[Dodge: Automatically evade the next attack that would hit, even if it should be inescapable. Cannot be dispelled by any other means.]
{Elena has gained Resolve for 5 turns!}
{Resolve}: All attacks do double damage, and unit gains Last Stand. After 5 turns, this will dissipate. Cannot be forcibly dispelled.
{Last Stand}: Unit cannot die while this is active.Cannot be dispelled.
You heal the Pacifist Doll, activate- wait. Defense and max HP are meaningless... what can you do... Aha. You guard.
(Y/N): We need to stall! Ari, reinforce the wall! Hiore, ready Fantasy Nature!
Hiore: And you?
(Y/N): ...I've got an idea.
Elena attacks with Light Beam Focus. You narrowly dodge.
[Miss]
You pull out the Luna Dial.
(Y/N): So you're on a death timer, eh? What if I speed it up?!
You skip time, and Elena attacks again. You walk through it, punching her in the gut. Wait, that's ignored too.
[0] [0]
(Y/N): I can't hurt you, you can't hurt me.
Elena: Goddammit, Tempos...at least they only affect the current space...
Hiore guards. Ari sets up more dolls.
Elena: Is it nothing but gimmicks with you and your puppets? Sigh...well, didn't think I'd need this... Warp 3.
Elena breaks the Tempo (WHAT) and stabs Hiore, instantly knocking her down.
[DOWN]
Ari: Oh crap, Hiore! We need to revive her! Did you bring any coffee?!
You attempt to think of a strategy before you inevitably get blitzed.
(Y/N): Nope, but I'll let her rest. Hiore, you've done enough! Come back!
Elena: Are you a moron?
(Y/N): I'm not any standard one...I'm an intelligent dumbass.
Even Overclock times 1000 with Flow active would only make you around under twice the speed of light... Thankfully, 10x speed is nothing compared to what you've already pulled off.
(Y/N): 'Wait, I'm going at this the wrong way. I need to speed up the system, and then make myself invincible...can't do that though...'
You activate a time effect on the doll to undo damage a second after getting hit.
(Y/N): 'All it needs to do is not get hit too many times in a row.'
Elena attempts to slice at your arm, but is aggroed by the doll.
(Y/N): Finally, the Pacifist Doll remembered its role. Tank every attack so the rest of us don't get murdered.
Elena: Oh, I hate you.
(Y/N): Eh, don't hate the player...
Elena: Don't you dare finish that sentence.
Ari: ...hate the game system?
Elena: ...I'm killing you first.
Elena absolutely murders the doll.
{Poof!}
Ari: Eep!
(Y/N): ...Ok. Let's try and fight fair from this point on.
The EBF5 system dissipates. It's clear Elena's still disgruntled, but she holds her fire.
Elena: ...Fine.
Elena recalls her sword.
Elena: How about a simple sword duel? It's clear both our abilities are...
(Y/N): Stupid overpowered?
Elena: Ex-f**kin-actly.
You heal Elena to full and deactivate Allusions.
{Battle Halted}
(Y/N): Ari, come back.
Ari: Ok...good luck with the sword princess...
You recall Ari.
Elena: Kills you.
(Y/N): Kills you but flashier.
Elena: It's always awesome but impractical with you.
(Y/N): But, hear me out, what if, Rule of Cool?
Elena: Damn, foiled again.
[BGM: Phyrnna - EBF3 ~ DiVINe MaDNEss]
You sense...pure evil again.
(Y/N): Oh bloody hell...it's the Abyss King.
Elena: Hell indeed...I must've lost focus on the Abyss Key...
(Y/N): I could just re-seal him with Reimu's ability, but I think I'll just kill him instead.
Elena: Wait, you can do that?
You can't?
Elena: ...You try killing an ancient evil after sealing everything he's done.
Fair...
Elena: It was my safest option, after all. But you've rendered it null!
The Abyss King bursts from a portal, destroying most of the room.
Elena: There goes the throne...
Elena draws her sword.
Elena: You better have some strategy.
You take out a bottle of hot sauce.
(Y/N): Didn't really want to use this, but what the hell. Even though I can only carry 3 at a time, I can always buy more.
Elena: Go ahead, Limit Break him. What's that gonna do?
You drink it.
(Y/N): Not much in base, but trust me...
You stare into the Abyss King's soul.
Abyss King: Trust you that what?
You activate Overdrive x10.
(Y/N): That you're not surviving this.
Abyss King: Wait, wha-
(Y/N): You're about to have a real bad day!
You reactivate Allusions, bringing out Heaven's Gate.
(Y/N):
"悪... (Aku...)"
You charge Heaven's Gate with light.
Elena: What? Hey, seriously! What are you doing?!
"即... (Soku...)"
You charge Heaven's Gate with shadow, and the world trembles.
Abyss King: ...Are you simply going to just stand there while the Princess- wait a minute, why are your eyes blank?
Elena: Uhh...(Y/N)? You good? I don't remember any move making your eyes white out...
You finish charging, echoing through the arena that you've finished the incantation.
"斬! (Zan!)"
You jump in front of the Abyss King, eyes glowing white and emitting flames.
Elena: ...This is...An improved version of Annihilate...
Elena realizes, and does a smug smirk, as if she knows what's about to happen.
Elena: Well, you're dead. Should've stopped it.
Your next 4 words seem to echo throughout the castle.
"SWIFT DEATH TO EVIL!!!"
Abyss King: Wait, what the fu-
You attack, annihilating the Abyss King instantly with a deafening strike.
{DEATH - INFINITE}
Elena is... frozen. Half in fear, half in awe.
Elena: Oh my god...I didn't think it was that strong.
You jump back to your original position, as the battle plane dissipates. You power down, and sigh in satisfaction.
(Y/N): I finally have a good reason to use that move. Took me a while to master it.
And everything behind him...including what was inside the portal. Which leads to the Abyss. I think you can tell where this is going.
(Y/N): A really long while.
Elena smirks.
Elena: That was more badass than anything I've pulled. Not COULD, but have.
(Y/N): Yeah, that attack's just a chance to instakill. Anything that survives is about to have a really bad day, because of a debuff that literally slowly erases them. That's the destructive variant. I can toggle whether my stuff does environment/infrastructure damage or not, and how much it does.
Elena: ...I seriously don't know how you do these things... First Oryx, and now this.
(Y/N): Honestly, I almost never go in with an actual plan.
Elena: I know you don't. You "improvise."
(Y/N): Right. 4th wall doesn't exist to you.
You forcibly close the portal.
Elena: So that's your full power?
(Y/N): Nowhere near. I didn't even go Chimera. Or use any other of my 9 million buff moves. Also, that was only times 10, less than half the multiplier I used against Remi.
Elena: I'm aware.
(Y/N): ...You wanna know what the max is right now?
Elena: Sure, why not.
(Y/N): Eleven thousand, two hundred and fifty.
Elena: Still... that's half the castle destroyed. No use even staying here since Guidus is evacuated, but we still need to deal with the Abyss. And by we I mean you.
(Y/N): Yeah...Good thing I have puppets specializing in this. Hiore! Kyoukai! Get out here!
Hiore returns from the bag.
Hiore: What is it...
(Y/N): Sorry I made you come back out just after getting stabbed, but how good are you at making unbreakable seals?
Hiore: Well, I need a focus...
Elena: The abyss needs a vessel to be sealed anyway. Just make an indestructible doodad or something, I don't know.
(Y/N): Did you say indestructible? Hisutan! Darksteel!
Hisutan comes out of the bag, and makes a darksteel capsule. You, Elena, Hiore, and Kyoukai seal the abyss into it, and Hisutan welds it shut.
(Y/N): It's official name is Dark Soulsteel, but that sounds too meta and bullcrap so I just call it Darksteel.
Elena: Pff, Soulsteel. That's cheesy as hell...
(Y/N): Hey, it's Shisutemu's invention, so you're gonna have to lodge the complain to her.
Elena: Welp, that takes care of that.
Elena picks up the capsule.
(Y/N): You're coming along?
Elena: Of course I am.
[Phyrnna - EBF4: Weshdoor Concert]
You head outside, flying back to the complex. You fly, rather. Elena...does whatever she does.
(Y/N): So... should I call you Princess Elena or-
Elena: Just Elena is fine. Not much of a princess anymore.
You fist bump, and use the connection to bring the Guidus Flame over to you two, and put it in a gold torch, which you quickly pocket. And by pocket, I mean put in the inventory.
Elena: ...I was about to mention that. I'm glad you thought of that so quickly; it'd be a shame to leave them all behind.
(Y/N): I'm guessing the other NPCs left too?
Elena: All of them.
(Y/N): Well, no reason to feel bad then. You'll like the Forge, it's pretty nice. And don't try causing trouble, because Kiki'll kick your ass.
Elena smiles.
Elena: I never intended on it!
You both walk through the complex's barrier. Elena flinches, but she's fine.
Elena: Having plot armor, but not using it. You're an interesting one.
(Y/N): I'm a Shonen protag who doesn't act like one.
Elena: Impressive indeed.
Kiki looks up from her spectator tablet, and is shocked.
Kiki: Welcome ba- Wait, you brought her with you?! And the flame?!
(Y/N): Uh, yeah? Shouldn't be a problem, Essence of the Eastern Legend anticipated this.
Kiki: ...okay then.
Elena: So you're the kitsu keeper who was originally meant to be fanservice?
...
Kiki: ...(Y/N), do you really think we should keep her?
(Y/N): If it makes you feel any better, you won't be the only one.
Elena: Also, keep this safe.
Elena hands Kiki the Abyss Capsule.
Kiki: ...I need to try something.
After a short trip over to the dungeon configuration building, Kiki inserts the capsule into the assimilator. Said capsule ceases to exist along with what's inside it.
[Abyss preset unlocked!]
Kiki turns back towards you and Elena.
Kiki: And don't worry about it getting out. Everything had around moon level durability before the Essence, but now the main components of all the facilities are absolutely unbreakable.
(Y/N): Not only that, even if we go there...The border of the Forge is absolutely impassable unless I explicitly allow it. And while you might be driven insane, mental effects mean nothing to me.
Elena: Well, that solves all my problems. That was quite fast.
Kiki: Don't worry about it, adaptation is our specialty. Now with that out of the way... mind a tour?
Elena: Not at all.
One short tour of the fortress later...
Elena: ...Not bad, for an outside worlder.
Shisutemu: We try.
Elena: Mind if I have my own building?
(Y/N): Not at all. In fact, I could probably have some drones scan the castle and try to-
Elena: Nah. Brings back bad memories. Though I wouldn't mind a castle-like place. Maybe a full castle to house all the characters you bring back from your escapades.
(Y/N): ...No wonder they consider you a prodigy. (This girl's smart.)
Elena makes a smug face.
Elena: So...what's your relationship?
(Y/N): Well...Kiki's my shikigami, kind of, and Shisutemu's my assistant. The cool kind, not the lame kind.
Shisutemu: We're both bound to this guy, and so, he's the core and know-it-all of this whole operation, not to mention leader.
Kiki ...nuzzle hugs you, while winking at Elena too.
Kiki: He's also our dashing, fearless, powerful, clever, and precious beloved master!~
(Y/N): K-Kiki! You're embarrassing me!
You get some of Ari's puppets to push Shisu and Kiki close up to each other. Both are blushing.
(Y/N): Also, those two are raging lesbians and nothing will convince me otherwise.
Shisutemu: (Y/N)! I know that's fairly obvious, but you don't have to tell that to someone we just met!
(Y/N): Gamer Gear Rising: Revengance.
Elena: I already knew. That chimera's not the only one I've been watching. And it sounds like you three have quite the history...if Shisu's just the assistant, who's the sidekick?
(Y/N): Shinjin.
Shisutemu: Shinjin.
Kiki: Shinjin.
Kyoukai: Shinjin.
Hiore: Shinjin.
Elena: Of COURSE it's Shinjin. Don't know what I expected.
Youkai: Yeah, the c*nt...
Everyone whips out their pistols (you with the Hiritsugu Pistols) on the youkai who had the audacity to insult the cinnamon roll that is Shinjin. Even Elena, and the puppets. Except for Ari, who pulls out a full-on M16. Even the other youkai around her ready their magic. Aaand she's drunk.
Kiki: That's the lord's sister you're talking about.
Shisutemu: Elena, where did you-
Elena: Deus Ex Don't Ask Questions.
(Y/N): I'm giving you till the count of five to take that back or I'm exterminating you on the spot. Remember that I'm close friends with the Hakurei shrine maiden.
Youkai: What? She looks spick and span on the surface, but she's totally a-
And she immediately gets restrained by thorn vines.
Youkai: Heeeeeh?
From around the corner comes Shinjin with a cruel smirk.
Shinjin: Looks like I heard someone talking sh*t and they didn't think that I would hear it~!
Elena: Holy-
Shinjin: Hi.
The vines whip around and throw the drunk youkai off somewhere. Anywhere. Then things proceed as normal.
Elena headpats Shinjin.
Elena: So, how are you, you little power fantasy fix-it?
Shinjin: Good! Waiting on my castle. Hopefully.
Kiki: Small residents that hide far larger extradimensional ones seems to be a running theme here.
Elena: That is true. Now if you'll excuse me, we're going to finish this...
Elena draws her sword, and you draw Rising Sword.
Elena: ...properly.
===[Sudden Quest]===
Defeat Elena Stormfront the "legitimate" way
[Time limit: None, but you can't leave the Forge until you do]
=============
(Y/N): Yeah, that's fair.
It took a solid 3 attempts (and probably only 3 due to Fast Learner), but at least you managed to brush up on your sword skills.
Elena: Oh hey, I'm in the Q&A too, by the way. Feel free to ask me stuff.
