Chapter 23
Yuko ran towards Minami and got the first hit with a punch to the face. The punch sent Minami back and crashed into a wall. Yuko ran over and jumped up holding out her right foot. She came down on Minami and kicked her hard in the stomach. Then she bounced off Minami and the gave her another kick to the head. Yuko was about to make another move but then suddenly Minami grabbed Yuko's arm stopping her. Minami pulled Yuko in and then quickly punched her in the stomach. Then when she was behind Yuko she did a back shop and hit Yuko hard in the back. She then kicked Yuko into the wall and stepped back to see if she was still moving. Of course that seemed like nothing had hurt Yuko and she got up and charged at Minami. Minami waited for the right moment and then she jumped high up. She was going to dive in for a slam but Yuko had other plans as Minami saw Yuko jump up and bring her fists down on Minami. Minami shot down into the ground and Yuko jumped on her.
"Don't tell me you're holding back are you Minami?" she said.
Minami span around and grabbed Yuko's arms. She flipped her over and then got on top of Yuko.
"Of course not Yuko. I'm just warming up!"
Minami started to slam hard fists onto Yuko who somehow managed to block just in time. However Minami wasn't going to let up and Yuko decided to try a different technique. Right as Minami's fist came down, Yuko forced her head up making Minami's hand hit right in the center. Minami could hear the sound of Yuko's skull cracking but that didn't seem to mind her for Yuko shook Minami off and then moved in for another attack. Yuko started using her legs delivering high kicks trying to hit Minami's head. Minami was blocking most of them however the more she kicked the more powerful they got. Eventually Minami got hit with a powerful blast and was shot back. Before she could get back up Yuko brought her foot down on Minami's head and started pressing it hard into the ground. Her foot was crushing Minami's head and in a couple seconds her head will be completely crushed. Minami stretched out one of her wings and slashed Yuko in the back with it making her get off. Then she got up and punched Yuko hard in the face sending her back.
"Not bad Minami but I can do better."
Yuko ran really fast up the wall all the way up to the ceiling. She reached into the ceiling and pulled out huge pieces of rocks and started dropping them on Minami. As Minami moved Yuko followed dropping rocks everywhere she went. Minami thought fast and then ran over to where Haruna was. As soon as Minami reached her Yuko stopped dropping the rocks. However Haruna didn't like the closeness and so she pulled out a knife and was about to stab Minami but she got out of the way in time. Minami grabbed a rock and chucked it at Haruna knocking her out. She looked over at Yuko who had a slightly pissed off look for what she had done to Haruna. Yuko grabbed another rock and chucked it at Minami. Minami decided to knock it aside so as she struck the rock she didn't see Yuko charge in and deliver another powerful blow to the face. As Minami went back Yuko quickly moved around and kicked Minami's back sending her high up into the ceiling. Using the holes as cover, Minami went into one and started to dig around. Yuko couldn't tell where she was so she started throwing more rocks up at the ceiling.
"Gotcha~"
Yuko looked down and there was Minami who somehow made her way underground. Minami had a hold of Yuko's ankle and before Yuko could move Minami pulled Yuko down into the ground. No one could tell what was going on underground but there was a lot of thrashing and rumbling. Then suddenly something came out in the shape of a leave. The thing unfolded and revealed that it was Minami and her wings. Minami flew up and soon after Yuko jumped up but she didn't look like herself. Ears had grown out of her head and she had sharp claws and teeth. There was also a big fuzzy tail almost like a squirrels on her back. Yuko started jumping towards Minami who wrapped herself in her wings and started to spin. Like a drill she went into the ground and Yuko followed after. The two were popping out of the ground like daises where they would come out fighting and then go back in. Like a squirrel and a bird the two fought like animals trying to outwit each other. When they came back out, Minami stayed in the air this time and flew up high. Yuko started to climb the side of the walls determined to reach Minami.
"Stupid squirrel!"
Minami had a trap set up and thought she had got Yuko. With a flap of her wings a huge gust of wind was blown towards Yuko pushing her back. At the same time a bunch of rocks that were in the holes in the ceiling came down and started to fall. Yuko was falling but not for long for when she stretched out her arms, fur came out and extended creating a glider for Yuko. She had to avoid the falling rocks while trying to make it safely to the ground. However Minami wasn't done with her yet as she hit a certain spot in the wall that made the whole ceiling crack. Soon after huge chunks came crashing down onto Yuko and everyone below. The room collapsed and then after the whole mess there was nothing but rubble. A couple seconds later some pieces of rubble moved and out came Minami followed by Yuko.
"What have you done? You basically killed your master you idiot!" Yuko said.
"Is that what you think?"
There was more shuffling and then Yuko looked over and saw a black and white sphere come out. The sphere split in half and revealed Atsuko who was safe and unharmed. Yuko realized that Minami's wings must have come off and then created a protective barrier for Atsuko during the demolition.
"My master is alive and well. Yours however is dead."
Minami pointed to a rock with blood under it. There sticking out of it was a hand that belonged to Haruna. Haruna was dead which meant the battle was over and Minami had won. Or so she had thought. Instead of turning into dust Yuko was still there. Haruna's body vanished but Yuko still remained. Yuko laughed and said,
"You think I need her? Please she was more of a puppet than me."
"Of course I should've expected this coming from a witch. Luckily I had a backup plan."
"Eh?"
Minami reached into her pocket and pulled out a glowing blue chain. She wrapped it around her fist and said,
"I've kept this hidden for this moment. One good punch and you are out of Yuko's body."
"Well see if you can catch me~"
Yuko suddenly multiplied into five different Yukos. They all ran around and Minami lost track of which one was the real one. They all smiled and then charged at Yuko with fists in the air. Minami could only stand there because she was still a little weak from before. They all circled Minami and then started to run in a circle around her. They took turns beating on Minami trying to weaken her and then move in for the final kill. However Minami had other plans as she took the chain and swung it around her. The chain hit all of the Yuko's but none of them was the real one. The real one was somewhere else. Minami stood there quietly waiting until suddenly she heard a small rumbled from below her. Minami jumped up just in time as the real Yuko came out from under.
"Damn it!"
"Take this!"
Minami punched Yuko right in the chest sending a huge shockwave. The chains rattled and glowed brightly. Then at that moment something was pushed out of Yuko's body and then completely vanished. The chains settled and then Minami held onto Yuko.
"Yuko!"
Slowly Yuko opened her eyes and Minami gave a sigh of relief.
"Ta..Takamina?"
"Yuko you're back!!"
Minami hugged Yuko and held her close so happy to have her old friend back. Yuko who was confused only smiled and went along with it.
"It's been a while nee?" Yuko said.
"Un! I missed you so much.." Minami said.
"Ah well hey I'm back and I'm not going anywhere."
"It's good to be back."
"Minami we won!" Atsuko said.
"Yeah I guess we did. Wait that means.."
"Hmmm?"
At that moment Minami realized that they had one which meant that Minami was going to become human. That also meant that Atsuko was going to become a puppet. Minami was expecting something to happen and a couple seconds later there was a strange glowing aura around Atsuko. It glowed brighter and surrounded her. Yuko said,
"This is the master's part of the deal. Atsuko you can now do whatever you want as the puppet master."
"Perfect!"
Atsuko closed her eyes and when she opened them they glowed a bright blue. She jumped high up and then raised her hand up towards the sky. She created eight different orbs of energy and then shot a blast into the sky. A hole in the clouds appeared and a beam of sunlight came down. Then Minami saw a eight bright orbs come down from the sky. Each one entered the orb that Atsuko had created. The orbs changed to different colors and then glowed even brighter. Atsuko set them down to the ground where they grew until they bursted. The next thing was unbelievable for what came out of the orbs was Mariko, Miichan, Sayaka, Sae, Mayu,Yuki, Rena, and Jurina. They all came back from the dead and were alive once again.
"You guys did it!" Jurina said.
"Good job!" Sayaka said.
Everyone rushed to each other and reunited with hugs. Atsuko was happy she was able to bring back everyone. She came back down and reunited with everyone so happy to see them. While everyone was talking with Atsuko, Minami walked back over to Yuko and helped her over to the rest of them.
"Guys this is Yuko. She's my best friend since the beginning of the whole puppet thing." Minami said.
"Yosh. Nice to meet you." Yuko said.
Everyone became very fond of Yuko every quickly. They were all happy to welcome Yuko into the group. Then to Yuko's surpise, there was one more person who came out. That last person was Haruna and when she saw her Minami thought she saw tears in Yuko's eyes. Minami didn't know the exact relationship between the two but it must have been deep. It wasn't until later Yuko explained that Haruna was actually Yuko's lover way back before she became a puppet. The witch brought her back to life so Yuko would be at least happy while the witch lived inside her. The two embraced each other happy to know that both of them were alive.
While the two were hugging they didn't notice the dark energy lurking closer and closer to Atsuko. The crystal in her chest started to glow and soon after Atsuko started to scream in pain. Slowly her body was being taken over by witch's spirit and Atsuko was being consumed. Her body started to surround itself in black aura and the sky turned dark. A red moon broke through and shined down onto Atsuko. Minami rushed over and tried to stop it but it was too late. Atsuko was no longer there inside. Now the only thing inside was the witch.
