Chapter 1 Nuclear Winter in Gensokyo

I do not own Touhou or Familiar of Zero
Utsuho didn't care anymore.
She didn't care anymore.
Everyone that she cared about it.
Satori.
Koishi.
Rin.
They died.
They died.
ThEy DiEd.
They died because she was wanted to protect them.
All she wanted…all she ever wanted to reshape this whole world, this damn world into something that could actually appreciate Satori's warmth.
She promised her.
Kanoko promised her that the world would be hers.
And now, as she sits in the midst of a nuclear reactor, it was hers to take.
Nothing, NOTHING can stop her, nothing can stop the unlimited power of nuclear fission.
Not even her friends could stop her.
But was it really worth it?
There was nothing left to her, nothing left to her.
"I wish…" Utsuho closed her eyes as she let the gentle tidings of the night to come over her, "I had a second chance."
(In some far off world)
.
.
.
.
"My servant that existed somewhere in this vast universe-"
.
.
.
.
Utsuho slightly opened her eyes, but closed them again. It was no use. There was no such thing as second chances.
There was no such thing.
There was no such thing.
And if there such thing?
She wasn't worth it.
She was useless.
.
.
.
.
"-my divine, beautiful, wise, powerful servant-"
.
.
.
.
All she was was…was a complete idiot.
Utsuho opened her eyes and looked at the top of the nuclear reactor. She can blow it off, with the power that Yatagarasu had given her. She wanted to see the sun….but the sun hurts. The sun where Satori, Koishi, and Rin had turned their back against, and saw an alternative sun in her.
A sun in which they became friends.
A sun in which moved closer and tried to protect it's friends.
A sun in which burned her friends alive.
"Damnit." Utsuho muttered, stray tears dropping and instantly vaporizing in the air. "Damnit."
.
.
.
.
"-heed my call-"
.
.
.
.
When Utsuho realized what she did, she killed Yatagarasu. That was one thing that Utsuho had relished in, ripping out Yatagarasu's soul and vaporizing her. She had inherited the power of nuclear fission from Yatagarasu. She had learned how smart a god can be. She knows that one cannot fight gods on equal terms.
Unless she was stronger than a god.
And that is what she did.
She became stronger.
She killed Yatagarasu.
And from her dead soul, she absorbed information about everything.
EvErYtHiNg.
It was…maddening.
It was…addicting.
It was…everything.
Yet…nothing.
It couldn't bring back Satori.
It couldn't bring back Koishi.
It couldn't bring back Rin.
It couldn't bring back anything that Utsuho had lost.
Which…was everything.
Utsuho looked at the nuclear core that she was sitting on. It was all too simple to burn this world alive. She can simply trigger a nuclear meltdown that would have been amplified a thousand times over with her abilities. She'll die though.
But it didn't matter anymore. They were all dead.
.
.
.
.
"-I wish from very bottom of my heart-"
.
.
.
.
Something within Utsuho's heart stirred.
Something was calling for her.
Now, even if Utsuho was the greatest idiot in the whole world, she knew that something was calling for her. She could feel it in her blood.
Something was calling out for her.
Something was calling out for her.
A useless hell raven who had touched the sun and realized, upon touching the sun, it had lost all of her feathers and that beautiful black plumage would be forever gone.
And yet…something was calling out for her.
Was this…a second chance?
No, second chances don't exist for beings of hell.
That was what Satori had said, and smiled as Utsuho asked how could people from hell prove that they are sorry for their crimes.
Second chances don't exist, but redemption. You'll still go to hell to repent for your crimes, but at least you'll keep your head high. sSomethings, you don't have to think about what is going on with your head, but with your heart. That was the mistake I made.
Utsuho stood up as she spread her two, divine black wings.
She was done.
She was done sulking around.
She was ready.
She was ready to redeem herself for her crimes.
Utsuho Reiuji. The Nuclear Hell Crow of the Underground, was ready for redemption.
And if she screws up this redemption, she promise.
She promise that if she screw up this redemption, there would be no more for her.
No more future.
She will make her redemption succeed, or she will die in that method.
After all, there was nothing left for her to lose.
Other than her last chance of salvation for the damn.
.

"- and add to my guidance –"
.
.
.
.
She was ready.
She didn't have anything left, so she'll be ready.
SHE WAS READY.
She had all the power of the world, but nothing to protect.
SHE WAS READY!
SHE CAN DO SOMETHING!
.
.
.
.
" -and appear!"
.
.
.
.
It was on that day that Utsuho Reiuji had disappeared, the hell raven that had reached for the sun and gained the power of a god.
Author's Note:
Sorry for the late update, was lacking any motivation to publish any chapters or continue my old. What actually got me back to writing fanfiction is due to LyricaLive's Solar Sect of Nuclear Wisdom. I love that song now, and has shot to my top three: 1. Immortal Smoke, 2. Emotional Skyscraper, 3. Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom.
So, I won't be explaining much about the precursor to this story. All you have to know is that Utsuho Reiuji had accidentally killed everybody in the underground, killed Yatagarasu and gained the wisdom and knowledge of a god, and am getting teleported to a world where magic is dominant over science. This should be fun.
As stated the inspiration of this story is from the english dubbed song (if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend you to do so), where Utsuho shouted that "One...Chance, take it and the world is MINE!" So, now, the world is hers. But she lost everything that was close to her. Something so tragic, that almost made Utsuho go and commit suicide as she realized what she had done. She flew too close to the sun and came crashing down. And now, she is teleported to another world where possibly she can find her redemption, never her salvation, for her crime in Gensokyo.
So, that pretty much covers everything that i have to say about Utsuho. This should be a fun story to write.
And now...to find that damn chapter from the Land of Fairies and Fantasies. My bloody inbox is now filled to the top requesting me to update Chess and Gems and Land of Fairies and Fantasies.
No guarantee, I'll try and get it out by tomorrow.
