A Composite Touhou girl, and how to plausibly kill her

Long story short: Brainwashed composite Touhoe (yes, all of them) is attacking the heroes in my crossover story. Three (who have Bullet Time) are having a hard time keeping up, and are badly injured, but they made enough of a distraction for a sniper ([[Border Lands Mordecai, to be specific) to sneak up from behind (yes, it's a gameplay joke) and shoot her directly in the chest.

Problem is, A) she's got Fujiwara and Kaguya, (immortality for non-Touhoes), so she'd get up immediately and shred them, B) technically, she wouldn't need spell cards, and I don't know how to ensure that the entire group won't be maimed within minutes by Hellfire/nuclear explosions/lasers/endless wave of knives (and that's if her Sayuka didn't just stick them into everyone the second they enter the structure Composite Touhoe is in), et cetera, et cetera.

I may have the excuse of "she's weakened due to the fact someone's using her as an energy device", as with most of the other "boss" fights in the story.

I have nothing meaningful to contribute, but "Touhoe" made me laugh.

You totally needed to know that.

What fused them? Can that fusion be reversed?

I can't think of any way to directly kill that thing (Using nukes constantly? That won't work either.) so it's best to try to do that instead.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

^^ Hylarn doesn't like it. :<

^ The Big Bad (Combine) mindraped and fused them (perfectly, but it still causes a lot of psychological damage) together to harness their various powers for energy production. Thinking it was done via their teleportation devices, which would have also made it painful.

That may be a way.

Shoot them back. It works in the games.

Like I said, they have Fujiwara and Kaguya.

Like everybody else has said, unfusing them's the best way to go. Otherwise... uh... the three-man team dies.

The recommended course of action is to wave a white flag and pray that you'll be reincarnated as something pleasant.

Alternate reply:

If I was faced with a composite of all the Touhou girls, killing her would not be the first thing to cross my mind.

There's at least fifty men and women opposing the Touhoes. (Including Duke Nukem and Master Chief and several others.)

We're talking about a character who has control over space and time, teleportation(sort of), immortality, the literal power over your fate, the power to destroy you without even touching anything outside of their own bodies, the power to read your conscious mind, the power to read your subconscious, the power to make people insane by just looking at them, the power to call upon multiple gods to do whatever shit they would need, weather and earth manipulation, and a fuckton more powers.

Fifty men? Fifty thousand archangels that are all walking reusable nukes wouldn't be enough to kill that. I don't even know if you can defeat it danmaku-wise.

Hmmm.... you have written yourself into a bit of a corner there.

I suggest Summon Bigger Fish. Maybe you could try to get The Slender Man or Great C'thulhu over there, and see what happens.

Alterntivly, use video-game logic against her. Crush her under somthing invunrable, like a thwomp, or use some short of glitch, maybe.

Maybe your villains don't manage to get all of the characters, or find that some of them don't fit into the fusion very well.

Actually, come to think of it, how did the villains overpower the girls and forcibly fuse them anyway? How is the composite controlled? Is there any way for the heroes to take advantage of either of these?

Fuse your heroes together.

...

Nitpick: At least in SMR, Thwomps are not invulnerable.

Actually, that's true. From what I know of the Combine, seeing as I've played all the games, I have my doubts they'd be able to overpower all of them.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Good point. However, if I remember this correctly, it's worth noting that the combine we see is only a small section of their entire empire, and they aren’t short in the expendable troops department.

All Bullet hell aside, it wouldn't be too much trouble for the combine to capture the girls if each one is under attack by several million troops at once, especially if said troops includes a few hundred striders and gunships.

(Also, the touhu-girls can't move backwards or turn, so if you're lucky, you could get a dozen combine to sneak up behind them and hit them with stun ticks until they faint.)

edit: Going back to the sniper... Perhaps, on a beyond-the impossible, Borderlands level, he could have some sort of sniper rifle that launches an ICBM?

Or better yet, the non-lethal equivalent. Immortally won't help you when you've been knocked out could, and are at the mercy of a sociopathic sniper and 3 of his angry friends….

On a less creepy note, perhaps shooting her will allow the component Touhu-girls to separate, as when their separate resurrection powers kick in, it resurrects only themselves, and not all the other girls with them?

Huh? They can move backwards just fine.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

I think he meant look backwards.

There are too many toasters in my chimney!

ah right.

Sorry, never played touhu. I was just assuming based on the fact that in all Shmups you are allways slowly moving forward...

It wouldn't be as much fun, otherwise.

I was thinking they suck her into a black hole generated from red matter, actually, but doesn't one Touhoe have power over physics.

This version of the Combine has Haruhi and Alma under lockdown and used as energy devices, but only barely. I think most of the "boss" encounters here turn out to be Puzzle Boss fights.

Haruhi under lockdown?

As in, the Haruhi who can re-write reality by accident if she's displeased too much?

Okay, I think you're overestimating the Combine just a little bit.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

I don't suppose bringing Shiki Tohno in is an option?

While I will avoid asking if you (the OP) have something against Touhou, I will ask "Do they all really need to die?" Is this some Darker and Edgier adaptation where no Touhou fan can be happy?

Psychological warfare. Turn the fused aspects against each other.

Kaguya and Mokou will jump at the chance to rip each other to shreds. Get the SDM crew pissed off at Marisa. Insinuate to Yuuka that offing her current roommates in this abomination might be worth a few giggles. Insinuate to Cirno that the presence of her current roommates makes her weak. Put anyone against Chen and watch Ran lay into them. Simply wait for Suika and Yuugi to do step on a few toes in their stupor. Say pretty much anything imaginable to Parsee or Medicine. Watch Reimu flip a shit when the rest of it comes down around her ears.
