Topic: I have an idea

- A continuation of https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6650628/1/Sacrifice where Maria wakes up. Dracula and his main crew have already left. She wanders around the castle not wearing much other than the sheet she woke up in. She only has a fuzzy recollection of how she got there and what happened to all of her stuff. The only thing she’s aware of is her chest (particularly the part where her heart should be) really hurts, but she doesn’t show any signs of injury. At some point she realizes her Fushigi Yuugi powers aren’t working. Not that she’s too tired or she forgot how to use them, but it feels more like they “leaked” out of her. She peeks in a seance in some other room, where four apprentice witches have wine gauntlets full of someone’s blood and an older lead witch is babbling at them. They drink the blood and each gain powers from one of the four Celestial Beasts. And then… I don’t know what happens next. I’m not even sure why Maria came back as a zombie-corpse-lady.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to develop this idea?

Don't continue the story yet if you lack ideas.

shut up Gunlord that doesn't make any sense.

Let's think about how you want this to end. By setting up a "point A" and "point B" it might be easier to think about what happens next since you just have to think about how to get from "point A" to "point B".

As for suggestions for said "point B", I was thinking maybe somehow she can "regain" corrupted versions of the four beasts?

I'm sure Gunlord has 9 tales of how it could work

Corrupted celestial beasts sound like a good idea to me.
I could see it working more in a game sense (like a hard mode or Zero suit part of Metroid Zero) where you have to defeat each one and regain their abilities - in no particular order.

How would she be playable without her powers? Like if I was basing off her Saturn version, all she would have is her flying side kick and ??.

Maria should still have her ability to project her fighter's form (her secret move in Rondo). That is something of her soul and not the body so I don't believe Maria is completely helpless. Maria can still fight her way out of the situation although it will be a tough call without her celestial friends to assist. But in terms of story, if you have nothing on mind of what to do next, sit on it for a time and brainstorm. It should help you out. There is no rush.

Maybe she could learn how to use practical weapons instead? You know, swords, whips, whip-swords, etc.

She has a standing short projectile, flying slide kick, side kick, superjump and subweapons.

However maybe some new techniques or weapons could be introduced with actual moves kept simple. Muramasa isn't a complex game but each sword has different abilities, that sort of thing.
