[Gwendolen hesistated, feeling something familiar, a faint voice calling to her... She was snapped out of it by Lucia placing a hand on her shoulder] "Are you ready, my dear?" [Gwendolen nodded eargerly] "Yes!" [She walked to the edge of the spell circle. There were 6 difefrent colored crystals on the circle, were they each containing a trapped girl? The sin representatatives. And Gwendolen would represent pride. Ironic since Rillianne, or rather Gwendolen in cases. represented pride for another spell that one of Lucia's other selves named Elluka was after. That was another story. The witches chanted the spell and danced as the moon was getting into the right position, the spell circle glowed] "And now, it is time for the sacrifice" [Gwendolen was suddenly magically pinned onto the circle, her haughtiness replaced with horror and confusion.] "W-what is this?! Let me go! This was not part of the plan!" "Let the great witch mother receive the princess and chosen sin's blood!" [A blade appeared over her head] "nooo!" [The blae dropped, and Gwendolen's head was sliced clean from her shoulders...]
[there were mixed feelings at this action among the crowd of witches. some were shocked, some were angry, some were accepting. Marisa was aghast. She had never seen anyone killed in fornt of her eyes, even if that snotty gwendolen did probably deserve it. Patchouli shook her head.] "Human sacrifice. Usually not a good thing...] [A storm gathered in the sky and swirling with dark energy. The witches could feel an immense magical presence coming. During the confusion, Garrin slipped in and picked up his sister's body. He used magic to temporarily put her head back on and stop the bleeding, and carried her off. He had to bring her back. Even if he had to use one of the dark necromancy spells from her suspicious books!
...Wait a minute, wait a minute - Hey, Garrin-kun!
[Yuuko said, and then ran up to Garrin, who was trying to carry Gwendolen's body again. Nobody was paying attention to them anymore in the meelee, which was a good thing, she thought.]:
Stopping her body from dying completely is not a bad idea, I don't think, but nothing is going to work if her spirit and soul isn't there - And for the moment, it isn't.
[And then, she pointed at the dark shadow in the skies.]
...Gwen-chan's soul and spirit is over there for now, OK? I mean, there's little point in a human sacrifice if all you're going to use is the death energies, after all...
[Garrin stared at her - And that was when a small voice piped up, right next to his feet.]
...Hello, Garrin Ambersmith. Are you in need of a Wish?
[And then, the white thing smiled, almost closing it's red eyes.]
- I can grant any Wish you want, as long as you make a Contract with me and become a Magical Boy!
[Yuuko almost stomped on the thing then and there, but then she reconsidered.]
...Um. That thing is not lying, I'm afraid - And though normally, I'd strongly advise against making a Contract with it, in this particular case...
[some other witches passed by and stomped on Kyubey purposely] "Oh yes, very advised!" "Don't believe this creep!" "Ypu'll get screwed over! really!" "Wait, weren't you just decapitated there?" "Theres two of you>?" [Garrin sweatdropped and went on, carrying Gwendolen. He had a bad feeling about that white critter anyway. The storm was building up. A figure appeared in the sky, dressed in an ornate gown and laughing joyrfully, but tinged with sadness and madness]
[The dark figure focused her gaze on Lucia, then.]
< So you have called Us here, have you? I wonder why you ever thought that was a good idea... >
[Garrin, in the meanwhile, had gotten away from the witches who had surrounded them while they were mostly distracted by the figure in the skies.]
- Come on, Gwennie, come on, Gwennie, you can do this, I know it!
[He mumbled under his breath, as he hugged Gwendolen's body.]
[Yuuko, in the meanwhile, was now looking up at the skies. There was a shining ball of light right next to the dark figure. It seemed to be tethered to both the dark figure and the ritual grounds which were now soaked with Gwendolen's blood with dark strings covered with zagged bolts of energy - And it also was practically buzzing with annoyance and rage.]
"Yes, our witch mother." [Lucia cutsied, feeling a bit of fear, and triumph. She had done it, Walpurgis was here!] "I see. fufufu. The Show has begun!]
[Alice turned to Marisa, crossing her arms] "Well Marisa, surely we can not let this go on." "Maybe, maybe not." [Marisa shrugged casually, shaking off her shock of seeing Gwendolen's death] "It certainly is interesting. Heh heh, I can just hear Reimu now, I told you so! The leader going for some evil plan or another! this is an incident! Not that she'd bother with it since it doens't concern her or gensokyou." [Reimu in the eanwhile sneezed at that. there had been a lot of witches poking around recently. Marisa should be having fun. Matybe an inciddnt. Whatever. If it didn't theate Gensokyou, it wans't ehr problem[
[The Walpugis sweatdropped a bit, then. Wait, that was all the woman was going to say, after bothering to summon her here and all?]
[And then, she looked at the little ball of light floating next to her, and snickered.]
(...So angry, little sacrificial maiden! So maybe you actually have something of interest to say to me, eh?)
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Garrin was waving his hands in Marisa and her friends direction, looking quite a bit like Gwendolen in a snit for a moment.]
- Hello, young misses - I know you people must be busy and all, with that thing floating up in the skies, but I would be very grateful if you could help me out with saving my sister's life first, OK!?
[Yuuko, on the other hand, was now intently poking at her Phone - And then, she pointed it at the Walpugis floating in the skies, and took a holo of it, grinning, and sent a text message.]
Hello, Reimu-san. I think this is a matter relevant to your interest?
[Well, it should be - That thing probably could badly damage the Gensokyo in Infinity that Reimu was protecting just by crashing into it, after all, if they were unlucky...]
[a small whimper emitted from the ball of light] {ah, so I see. Your soul is part of a pair. Some of my daughters have their souls connected as well.) [She gestured at a pair of twin witches nearby] (So your other half is nearby, I can tell. Perhaps I should bring them in as well?)
meanwhile] (Reimu frowned up at the image, and shrugged, texting back on her phone] It's not my problem. The fate of gensokyou is not involved. [She saw the witches flying about around the Walpurgis. Huh, so that was at that witch event Marisa went to. She was probably still there.] "Go ask Marisa." [She watched as some children appraoched the shrine for tick or treating
...First, I need my sister's body to be in good enough shape for her to go back into it - I wouldn't want to go back into a half dead body with it's head continueously almost falling off, and I'm pretty sure Gwennie wouldn't that, either.
[And then, he pointed to the ball of light floating in the skies, which was still buzzing with angry looking lightning bolts.]
- And then, we get her back, and put her back into her body. Simple, eh?
[The Walpugis, in the meanwhile, was chuckling up a storm.]
...My poor child! I'm not very good at fixing human bodies, though, I'm afraid, those things are sooo breakable - Are you sure you don't want an upgrade?
[And then, she sighed as the ball of light buzzed some more, sounding like a furious hornet.]
- Fine, then. Here goes -
[And then, the Walpugis pointed a finger at the ball of light with a happy grin!]
[Yuuko, in the meanwhile, was looking at her Phone with a sigh. She wasn't at all sure that the Gensokyo Reimu protected would not be mixed up in this mess, but on the other hand...]
[Some of the witches under Walpugis's command swooped down and grabbed Garrin and Gwendolen's body, dragging them back to the spell circle] "What, hey! Let me go!" [Garrin stuggled, trying to use his magic against them, but it was hard as he was holding his sister. The witches deoptsited them down into the spell circle and held them down as Walpurgis floated down gently] "Dear boy, do not be afraid. I am only trying to reunite you and your sister. You shall be be together, as one, forever, as you were meant to be... " [the witch queen waved her hand and started the spell. garrin's own head fell off.] "now, the connection..." [The wins bodies spressed together and rearranged a bit, melding into one body and the heads were reattached....the soul ball floated back in
[Gwendolen hissed, as she tried to make their shared body sit up.]
- Why does everybody and their pet cat keep wanted to stick us together like this, anyway!?
[And then, she paused. Wait, what?]
[Garrin, in the meanwhile, was shaking his head inwardly.]
...This situation should not feel so familiar, geez.
[And then, he craned his head around, trying to get a better look at his sister.]
...Uh, hello? I'm your twin brother and my name is Garrin, but - This really is weird. I feel like I've known you for years, even though I'm pretty sure the last time we met, we both were supposed to be babies or something!
( walpurgis chckled) " now you teo are one as you should be, together forever! Now, i must go , i must put on thr show! ThecelebrTion shall begin!" ( shr floated back up laughing agsin)
(And gwen froze, as it finally dawned on her she was reunitex with her twin. The boy who looked just likeher that she was seeing in her dreams...) " its you..,"
[Lucia, in the meanwhile, was looking up at the Walpugis, her brow furreled.]
- Oh Great Queen! Why are you still paying attention to that worthless sacrifice? Has she not fulfilled her purpose?
[The Walpugis looked down at her again, and sweatdropped. Did the little magic user have some kind of death wish or something?]
...If you say that one is worthless, then what in the world do you call yourself?
[Lucia actually stamped her feet on the ground, then, looking a great deal like Gwendolen in a tantrum for a moment. Some of the other witches, in the meanwhile, were staring at Lucia, looking more then a little poleaxed.]
- Who the hell cares about that worthless - Walpugis, Walpugis, give me my due, it is I who called you here, not she!
[And then, she groaned.]
...I am so, so tired of cajoling and cozening the unworthy fools who just were lucky enough to be born with more power or rank them me! Give me the power to make them kneel to me, O Great Queen, and I will give you half of this strange world here, if you so desire it...
[The Walpugis laughed, then.]
- What would I do with half of such a strange patchwork of cobbled together world pieces? It would be much more amusing to just watch them lead their puny lives in their so called normal habitat...
[And then, she blinked. Hmmm? Well, this whole fiasco had been somewhat amusing at the very least, she supposed.]
- But very well - You did amuse me somewhat, after all. Let's see what would come out, when I unlock some of your Potential!
[Yuuko blinked, then, looking on with interest. All of a sudden, she could see the Walpugis looking around in what seemed to be a wine producing factory of some kind. There were hundreds of little pipes connected to some big wine tanks, though most of them were corked up, and only about 12 or so of them were actually being used to get the wine out of the tanks.]
Well, here goes, then!
[The Walpugis said with a grin - And then, about a 100 of the corks of the little pipes just flew out of their pipes, just like that!]
[The Walpugis grinned as the wine started to flow out of the tanks at a much higher rate then before. Yuuko, in the meanwhile, was sweatdropping.]

Date: 2016-01-21 07:20 am (UTC)[Garrin screamed, and ran toward his sister's body as the energies swirled, and the magical barrier came down.]
- Come on, Gwennie, I never even got to meet you properly!
[He cried out, and then, he put his hand out.]
[Lucia, in the meanwhile, was laughing up a storm.]
...Sometimes, things don't work at all like you planned, but sometimes -
[And then, she looked at Gwendolen's body, a dark smile coming over her lips.]
- You keep coming back, and coming back, and coming back - Do you have any idea how much I hated that?
How dare a brainless spoiled girl like you have more magic then I do, anyway!
[She hissed under her breath.]
[Yuuko, in the meanwhile, was looking through the flickering possibilites, her eyes hooded.]
[And now - Comes the Walpugis.]
