[h2]Vita[/h2] Vita tore through the air towards the fleeing man, who seemed to have come to a halt ahead. If he was the culprit, she'd smash him into the ground so hard he wouldn't come out of the crater for a week! Of course, it wasn't like he was giving himself up to be planted in the earth by Eisen either. As the redheaded girl began to close in, she realized that he'd summoned some sort of plant-based attack from her left side! It wasn't a specific type of magic she was aware of, but that didn't mean her response to it was going to be any different! Raising Eisen, Vita began to turn. She needed the hammer's head to be a bit bigger... "Eisen!" A cartridge loaded with a mechanical whine and click. "[color=ed1c24]Gigantform![/color]" declared the Armed Device, and in an instant the head of the hammer suddenly grew, expanding larger then the entirety of Vita's own diminutive frame. With a shout, Vita swung her hammer, and on impact the wooden tendrils exploded into splinters, what remained of them knocked off course and into the earth with a tremendous thud and a scattering of dust and debris to the wind. But, of course, Vita didn't stop there, using her momentum from the swing to immediately propel herself forward, yelling as she practically threw herself towards her target. [@KoL][@PKMNB0Y][@Dezuel] [hr] [h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2] It was a complex dance, in a way. Something that the silver-haired girl was used to performing. And yet, no matter how many times she had done the steps, she continued again and again. She was still in training. No matter how accomplished she became, she could always improve. she still hadn't reached Grandfather's level. To truly live up to her family name, she had to keep practicing. Her katana cut the air, the misty form of her phantom half elegantly whirling through the air as the water fell around her. Roukanken's edge struck a single droplet and parted it. Than another. Than another. Konpaku Youmu sheathed her blade as the water fell around her. Without pause, she drew Hakuroken. In a single motion, she cut three more droplets of water before they could hit the ground. The wakizashi was sheathed in an instant on her hip. Youmu straightened. The number of droplets had nearly doubled, her blades slicing them through so swiftly that she increased the amount. And yet this wasn't enough. No, if she wanted to reach Grandfather's level, she had to train harder. Placing one hand lightly on Roukanken's hilt, the small girl looked up. Her phantom half followed her gaze. The second bucket was hanging from a thin pole of metal, supported between two wooden struts. The wispy form of her phantom half shot forward and struck the bucket, flipping the contents and letting the water fall out. First, to divide it into droplets. Youmu drew Roukanken and swung it upwards, the blade and rushing air parting the falling liquid. In a flash, she had sheathed it again, shutting her eyes. Then...! Youmu opened her eyes, and just barely stopped herself from drawing the blade when she realized her surroundings were no longer the gardens of Hakugyokurou. In fact, it was some place she had never seen. Stone streets, tall buildings of glass and steel... indeed, it was completely unlike the architecture of Gensokyo, the things that Youmu was used to. Was it the outside world? How had she suddenly entered the Outside World?! "... I... what... is..." There were... helicopters? Flying overhead... That's what those were called, right? Those strange, flying, spinning contraptions? And... A bridge? This [i]had[/i] to be the Outside World... [@PKMNB0Y][@Raineh Daze][@Grey Star][@TheFake]
