So welcome to my first Touhou fic! Just before the prologue starts, I have some things to say. First and foremost, there are probably going to be 11 days of battle royale. Second, the 'V3' is because this is my third draft. My first draft is currently on Chapter 18. Please note that I will not upload that far if people do not want to read my fic. Therefore, if you like the fic, please review and say what you liked. If you found something weird or dislikeable, tell me. However, if you just want to point out a small spelling/grammar error or correct the name/formatting of a spellcard, just PM me. Thank you and enjoy, ze.

P.S. Shikieiki will probably end up as Shiki-sama or Eiki.

P.P.S. '…' refers to a scene change.

Prologue: The Calm Before The Storm

"I now give you, Yukari Yakumo, the power to connect the human world and Gensokyo. Open the doors to Makai, Hakugyokoro, the Moriya Shrine, Hell, and beyond. Release the power and give those who wish to battle the right to do so in a world unfamiliar to them and more restricted than ours. Send them all, close the gate, and watch their despair."

'…'

The rain pitter-pattered onto the Hakurei Shrine, cold and wet in the rain. Star Sapphire sat on the roof, looking up at the sky. Suddenly, a pamphlet fell from a gap that opened up abouve. Underneath, on the porch, Reimu saw a pamphlet fall to the ground with a plop. She went over and picked it up.

"What is it, Reimu?" Marisa asked, yawning.

"A pamphlet of some sort."

"Let me see." Alice asked, playing with a doll.

The three sat down and read. After a while, the rain began to die down. As the sun shone again, they finished reading.

"A portal to the wondrous human world! Come and Enjoy! Fight to your heart's desire!"

'…'

Meanwhile, at Kourindou, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the Moriya Shrine, Eientei, and so on, pamphlets fell. All over Gensokyo, they fell. Onto sunflower fields, into rivers, into forests, and into human villages. The word spread everywhere.

'…'

Toyohime and Yorihime had been at Eientei for a month. It seemed that they would miss the next full moon. Tewi smiled as she entered the warm, brightly lit room, holding a pamphlet.

"Kaguya, if Keine and Mokou go, this fight could turn out to be fun. The full moon will be coming soon, so we might as well do this."

"Tewi. It is rude to tell guests to stay for another month. However, it seems that there may be some good for them if they participate…"

'…'

Patchouli nodded to Koakuma as she entered her bedroom. Koakuma nodded slightly and left. Patchy began to strip off her jogging clothes, and she took some of Eirin's asthma curing pills. They truly were a medical breakthrough.

Koakuma soon returned with both Patchy's clothes and a pamphlet. "Oh, what's this?" "Remilia-sama told me to give a copy to you, Patchouli-sama."

'…'

Yuyuko stuffed a pouch with emergency spellcards. Youmu packed food nearby. "Yuyuko-sama. I will not be bringing any spellcards. Only my swords and rations. Kasen is planning to bring more food and other supplies." Yuyuko responded. "Youmu, that's fine. Just make sure that we have the equipment to have Mystia for dinner."

'…'

Keine slapped Cirno in the front of the classroom. "Cirno, you have been exceedingly obnoxious. If you don't want to learn here, please leave." Cirno looked back at her with an ice cold glare. She faced the window.

"Spellcard! [Ice Sign] Icicle Fall!" ⑨ smashed open the window and climbed out. "I'm going to the human world! Eye'll definitely be the strongest there!"

Rumia and Daiyousei nodded to each other. "[Night Sign] Night Bird!" With an extra danmaku blast, the two had blasted a massive hole in the wall and were off to catch Cirno.

Keine slapped her face. "Class adjourned." She picked the pamphlet out of Luna Child's hands and began reading.

'…'

Orin and Utsuho read the pamphlet together on the roof of the new Nuclear Project building. "I don't think you should go, Okuu. You might lose a part of your memory again and hurt more people than I can collect the corpses of."

Utsuho put a hand on Orin's shoulder. "I'm going. It seems interesting. And also, there's a nuclear plant according to the map. I'm going to check it out."

'…'

Sanae nodded to Kanako. "Yes. I will go to visit my cousin at the shrine in Hakujima City." Kanako thought momentarily. "Then, I shall call the minor gods to accompany us. Since there is a shrine for each of them, we can get some faith there." Kanako said in reply, smiling.

Suwako spoke up. "Let's get the kappa too."

'…'

Nitori grabbed her new gun and aimed at the figure flying carefree in the sky. "Niiitoriiiii Spaaaaaaark!"

A master spark erupted from the gun with a bang. It barely missed Nue, who managed to dodge.

"Nitoriii!" Momiji cried out, running. "Suwako-sama told me to give this to you!" Momiji stopped and caught her breath as Nitori read the pamphlet by the riverside. She read, grinned, and pointed at the massive pile of WMDs behind her (Weapons of Mass Destruction).

'…'

A massive crowd formed in the meadow. It was well past noon, and Reimu wanted her tea. Oh, and Tenshi was bored. Finally, after a long wait, Yukari appeared from a gap, half asleep. Ran propped her up as she began her speech to the residents of Gensokyo.

"Today I now have the power to open a portal to the human world! Feel free to wreak havoc, but remember that this is a battle royale. If you are thoroughly defeated, you will be sent back here right before your death. In other words, you can cause all the chaos you want and duel it out you're your rivals without restraint! Unfamiliar territory and fun! Enter!"

With one finger snap, a long and massive portal opened. "YEAH!" The crowd cried as they rushed in with reckless abandon.

Yukari looked at those who waited for the chaos to subside. Tenshi, Utsuho, Koishi, Yuugi, Shinki, Kanako, Kaguya, Mokou, Miko, Byakuren, Shikieiki… It was going to be very interesting, she thought to herself.

After the mob had entered, others prepared to enter, but waited cautiously.

"Remilia-sama?" Sakuya adjusted the umbrella, making . "Sakuya, let's go," Remilia responded. "But not before we wait for the rest of the mob to enter. We don't want to be trampled." Patchy said. Koakuma and Meiling struggled with the bags of makeup and spare knives and umbrellas. Patchy's bag was full of spellcards.

"I'm going to play!"

"Damn it!" Sakuya cried as Flandre yanked a bag of good makeup and flew into the portal.

'…'

"I'm sooooo bored!" Tenshi flew into the portal.

"Stop! Tenshi!" Iku tripped on a sleeve before getting up and running in.

"Okuu! Please reconsider!"

Utsuho ran through, followed by Orin and Kanako's group.

"We'd better go just to keep order, at the very least" Kanako said.

Seeing problems, Eiki and Komachi also entered.

"We can make a great news story out of this! Truce?" Aya nodded at Hatate and they flew in.

"EYE'M THE STRONGEST!" ⑨ happily jumped in, pursued by the fairies, Keine, and Mokou.

"That world needs cleansing." The Watatsuki sisters and the Eientei group walked through.

Byakuren and Miko glanced at each other. "We'll settle this over there." Miko said. Byakuren agreed.

'...'

As the crowd cleared, Chen and Ran stood in front of the portal. Then suddenly, they were punted through. With a soft chuckle, the portal closed.

So how did you all like the prologue? Please R&R!

I understand that the transitions are cruddy, but if I redo the chapter in the future, I'll try to fix them.

If there are any errors, PM me. If there are personal questions or comments, feel free to send me an e-mail.
