Both Aqua and Aoko attacked. Alice blinked as her allies were cut down, one each in turn. It seemed that once again her threats had been ignored by those who refused to take her seriously.
You know what?
Good
Alice had done her best to be good here after that first fight ended with the messy death of those humans in New York. She was a demon among mortals, and they were frail in body and from many she'd seen in spirit, and save for the catalysts she had every intent to avoid violence wherever possible.
But she was
youkai in her blood, a demon of magic that the humans of Gensokyo
respected and
feared. You didn't talk your problems out with another youkai, you drew your spellcards and did bloody battle until one could no longer go on! Alice
lived for that test of skill, to tear down opponents not with her power but with her mind! She thought that she could do that without violence here, that she could simply use her wits and her daughters' eyes to reach this final demon.
But if these, these
mortals were going to continue to treat her as something far less dangerous than what she was?
She was simply going to have to finally give them a reason to
fear her. She lightly rolled her fingers across the rings on her hand, tiny glints of light visible in the air for the briefest moments around her as the wires caught the light and she sneered.
"Fine. Daughters? Destroy them"
The dolls lowered their spears and with silent battlecries flew valiantly into the fray! Twelve each flew for Aoko and Aqua, and they swirled about like hawks aproaching their prey before dive bombing them in rapid succession, lance strikes and raised shields to try to skewer these dark wizards through their blackened hearts as Alice stood impassively to the side, doing nothing except seeming to twitch her fingers at random as she concentrated and warned friend and foe alike
"
Do not step too close to me if you want to stay alive."
Shanghai and Hourai were seemingly the exception to the rule, occasionally floating to one side or the other as if to dodge nonexistent dangers, with Hourai's lance in her hand and Shanghai's shield ready to catch whatever her watchful eyes saw coming for Alice.
