"Why are you stomping on the ground?" Aeneas asked, aiming his spear at Jason's head. "You look like Xerxes that has wet his pants... Sorry, I meant her skirt."
The spear is flying, straight and true, towards the head of the pilot.
Gap World
Yukari was watching the battle unfold through a small gap, unnoticable by any. She was paying especially close attention to John, worried that anything might happen to him, but too angry to do anything about it.
Suddenly the TV turned on by itself. It revealed a man wearing a nice looking black tuxedo that was a bit larg at the collar. The shirt was unbuttoned a little, and revealed a hole in the chest where his heart should be. The man also had his hair entirely silver, covering his right eye. He had wings of the devil, stretched far and wide.
"Greetings, Miss Yakumo." The man spoke.
"Who are-" Yukari asked, but she realized... She recognized this man... "The Devourer."
"The very man." The Devourer scoffed. He was younger than expected, looking as if he was barely 30.
"What do you want." Yukari... That was not a question, that was an order. Yukari was murderous.
"A negotiation." The Devourer answered with a hearty grin. "A sort of... Compromise."
"I have no reason to compromise with a man like you." Yukari shivered. "No... A devil... Like you."
"Oh, I'm sure you will find the terms quite..." The Devourer smiled again, stepping aside to show Yukari something she will not believe. "Irresistable."
It was Ran, the same Ran that Yukari made sure to be rescued. She was covered with whip marks, bruises, and blood. She was stripped down and chained up, beat up and put down on. Her ears flopped to sideways, her eyes cast downwards, lack of that same luster of a proud Gumiho Yukari knew.
"What have you done to her!" Yukari shouted demandingly, reaching out to gap Ran back to her... But her ability was not working wherever the other side was. For once in her lifetime has her ability failed her. "How is-"
"That Ran you rescued was not true Ran." The Devourer revealed. "But anyway, I must punish you for launching an attack on my base in the Mountain... Through your shikigami, of course."
The Devourer walked over to Ran, who shot a fierce look; Devourer laughed at the sight of this, and drew his thin katana.
"Don't you dare-" Yukari first thought the Devourer was going to kill Ran... But he was going to do something much worse... And Yukari realized it. "Don't you dare..."
The Devourer, with a quick hand technique, has cut Ran's tails, separated that golden, divine fur from Ran's body.
"No!" Yukari cried. "You will pay... You will pay for that!"
"Return all troops from the Youkai Mountain and cease all actions of rebellion this instance." The Devourer demanded. "Otherwise, you, the residents of Gensokyo, and all outsiders who have helped you, shall not even be part of my army."
The TV was shut, leaving Yukari guilty and suicidal, all alone without anyone to support her.
