Giga Ran Tower Defense

Rans cute nose scrunches as she re-reads the hastily scribbled ransom note, demanding various outlandish items in exchange for her precious Chen. Things like 'the panties of a shrine maiden' and 'that cucumber flavored soda from the outsider world'. The nerve of those scoundrels! As if she, the great Ran Yakumo, has time for this tomfoolery! The shikigami's hands tremble with barely contained anger, as the letter crumples in her tightening grip. All she wanted was one day of peace, no incidents or pesky shrine maidens, was that too much to ask for? What even is soda!? With a flash of golden light, Rans anger boils over and she begins to grow, her form expanding rapidly. The framing of the wooden roof snaps and breaks as her head smashes through the ceiling, debris raining down around her. In a matter of seconds, Ran towers over the homes in the human village her nine tails lashing furiously behind her, somehow her kimono also grew with her height. Ran has to take careful steps to not crush any home or person underfoot. With her hands balling in anger, she throws her head back and lets out an earth-shaking roar that echoes across Gensokyo: "CHEEEEEEEEEN!" *** Meanwhile, on the 20th floor of an abandoned building complex somewhere in the human village. In a musty old room, three figures (plus one bound and gagged Chen) huddle around a device cobbled together from various pieces of kappa technology. you shifts in place trying to get a better view, as numbers dance across the tiny screen. "According to my readings on the shikigami-monitor 9000 (patent pending), Ran has breached the 150-foot threshold already." Nitori states matter-of-factly, as she fiddles with the dials on the device. "How fascinating, I wonder if it's some sort of new spell? Aya, are you getting this down?" The tengu reporter doesn't respond, her eyes glued to her camera as she snaps picture after picture out the window, the device making a rapid clicking noise, before she lets out a dreamy sigh. "Ayaya~ Reimu is going to flip when she sees this~" Aya takes one more look through her camera's viewfinder, only to find Ran staring back at her. Panic instantly sets across the tengu's face, ol' birdbrain forgot to turn the flash off, and instantly gave away their position. "Ehe~ G-guys? I think we have a small issue. She squeaks out as the two gather around her to peer out the window, only to see a very angry Ran slowly turn towards them. The giant kitsune's face is slightly flushed, though it doesn't seem to be with anger or embarrassment... Oddly enough Nitori looks ecstatic at the news, her eyes gleaming. "Well luckily for us I did make a contingency plan just in case this would happen, I knew those hard points would come in handy. you! The Kappa barks at the outsider. "I recall you talking about playing those outsider "games" or whatever they are called. She shoves a ramshackle tablet into you's hands, the screen filled with names of various armaments, along that Nitori slaps a scouter onto you's face too, a HUD lighting up and displaying Ran's current stats, the good news is that it will take her 20 turns to reach where they are hiding. "Aaaanyways this is a bit of an issue but I'm sure we'll be fine, even if it is our fault, r-right? So just press (type out) the [SHOP] button and we can get started with defending ourselves!"
