The faceless army marched together, their orchestrated footsteps akin to thunder. The girl walked onwards patiently, her face showing no fear. When the vanguard of the army was within striking distance, she finally attacked.

Large swipes from her naginata cleaved scores of colorless soldiers at a time and long bursts of submachine gun fire would mow down the soldiers that had come to reinforce their lines, allowing her to press forward. The girl in the blue kimono wedged her way through the enemy and got onto the stone path towards the witch.

Ahead of the soldiers now, the girl slashed at the flaming Torii arches and they collapsed behind her – blocking the path of her pursuers. Thus, the battle had become one-on-one; a duel between the girl in the blue kimono and the statue witch.

Under the cover of the burning arches the girl open-fired at the witch. Immediately, the fans circling the statue came together and blocked the bullets – deflecting them as if the fans were made of sturdy metal. This defensive maneuver however would work towards the kimono girl's advantage. Using the fans as a sort of springboard the girl managed to jump onto them and then pounce at the statue. The girl ran up the statue witch's back and, with a clean swipe of her naginata, she beheaded the witch.
