AN: I do not own Touhou Project or RWBY, they belong to ZUN and Rooster Teeth respectively.

Well… given how almost every review except one has been towards RWBY rather than Pokémon, it looks like RWBY is going to be the focus of the revamped book 4. I actually wanted to do both, but it was your vote which came first. So RWBY comes first.

So for this first prologue, we find out who gets put on a bus, who's going out on their own, and who is getting sent to Beacon.

So without further ado!

Let the Dust settle.

Prologue And Trailers

BGM: This Will Be the Day – RWBY Volume 1

"This just perfect!" Marisa shouted as she kicked a stone into a tree with expert precision. "And before any of you say anything!" Marisa shouted at everyone as they all looked at her like she was crazy. "We weren't saying anything Marisa." Alice said quietly as Marisa groaned and slammed her head against the tree. "This." Marisa complained as she slammed her head against the tree. "Is." She said, making a dent in the wood as everyone watched quietly, wondering if she was going to break down the tree with just her head. "NOT!" Marisa shouted as she pulled her head away, pulling back her fist. "GENSOKYO!" Marisa shouted, slamming her fist into the tree and getting it stuck as Marisa suddenly shut up and cringed before clamping her other hand over her mouth, trying not to scream in pain.

"She broke her hand." Mokou pointed out as Marisa shot a glare at her, Minerva slowly getting up as she sighed, pulling her heal staff off her back and letting it light up as Marisa's arm glowed softly. "You need to be more careful Marisa. We can't fault Anankos for this. We just have to make do with what we have for now." Minerva pointed out. "Shut up Vaati." Marisa said quietly as Minerva glared at her. "She's spent the past twenty years as Minerva Marisa, that's more than her entire life before all this. It's clear who she sees herself as now." Patchouli pointed out as Minerva turned around. "Thank you for the observation Patchouli." Minerva said as she nodded.

"Well that's just great! What is Cirno 'Celsius' now too?" Marisa snarked angrily as Cirno glared at her. "Still Cirno, now shut it Marisa." Cirno said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Or what? You going to freeze my ass?" Marisa asked as Cirno looked at her strangely for a moment before Mokou spoke up. "You forgot about your powers, didn't you Cirno." Mokou said as Cirno took a moment to think before chuckling softly. "Twenty years of being unable to use them will do that to you." Meiling pointed out as Marisa groaned as sat on the ground, holding her head in her hands. "Where the hell are we?" Marisa complained as Alice looked up at the trees before climbing up one suddenly, everyone watching her as she looked around from the top of the trees. "Forest, forest, and more forest… wait." Alice said as she looked around, scanning the horizon as she saw something moving. "What is it Alice?" Nitori asked as she sat atop her tank, which had come with them during the transit. "Something big is coming! Get ready!" Alice shouted as she ducked back into the trees.

"What?" Mokou asked as a loud stomp shook the forest, leaves falling off the trees as whatever it was drew closer. "Nitori..." Marisa started as Nitori climbed into her tank, trying to start it as Marisa got on top of the tank, pulling her bow, the Fuijin Yumi, off her back as the green bowstring of wind formed, Marisa pulling the string back as an arrow of wind formed between her fingers as she watched the trees.

Mokou fingered her katana, which was still sheathed as Minerva pulled Byrnhildr out of her bag, holding it in her hands as Cirno pulled her personal sword out of its sheath. Patchouli had her own tome ready as Meiling held up her fists. Alice was holding a small barbed kunai in preparation as for what was to come.

Suddenly a large trunk swung into the clearing, everyone scattering as the monster that had arrived made itself known. The large black beast trying to stop on the girls as Nitori's tank drove out of the way, Marisa still on it as she caught a look at the creature's eye, taking aim at it before letting her arrow fire.

The large elephantine beast let at a trumpet of annoyance as the arrow bounced off its eyeball, no blood coming from the shot as the arrow dissipated into wind. "That's not right!" Marisa shouted as Nitori drove into the trees. Alice dropping down from the trees onto the tank as it stopped, Nitori spinning it around as she took aim with the barrel of the tank at the creature's head.

Mokou ran at the beast, flames igniting around her as she ran under it, leaving a trail of fire on the ground as she suddenly stopped and spun around, pulling out her katana, which she had taken from the dead body of Ryoma only a few weeks ago, the Rajinto. The stabbing the sacred weapon into the beast's foot as the trail of flames she had left rose up into pillars of fire, burning the beast's underside as it tried to kick Mokou away with its back foot. Mokou pulled the Rajinto out of its foot before jumping away, resheathing the katana as thick branches started to wrap around the beast's legs, Brynhildr glowing in Minerva's hand as she directed the thick wooden branches to trap the creature and hold it steady as Nitori lined up her shot. "FIRE!" Nitori shouted as she let the cannon roar.

The large metal spike that had been loaded into the cannon's barrel was launched straight at the beast's head, the monster only having a moment to see its own demise as the spike rammed itself straight through its skull, impaling the beast's head as it fell slack, it's body starting to dissolve as the metal spike fell into the ground.

"What the name of Yukari was that thing?" Marisa asked as she got off of Nitori's tank. "I don't know." Mokou said quietly as the group watched its body dissolve, leaving nothing behind but the braches that had held it steady, and the metal spike which had killed it. "Already, this world seems to be a hostile one." Patchouli noted as Minerva spoke up. "Then what is the plan?" Minerva asked as everyone shared glances between each other.

"I got nothing." Marisa admitted as Patchouli shook her head. Meiling and Mokou both shrugged as Alice sighed, Nitori still inside her tank as she tapped the wooden walls of it. "How about we split up?" Cirno suggested as everyone looked at her. "What?" Marisa asked, a little bit of concern in her voice as she looked at Cirno like she was joking. "We have to find a way back to our world don't we? If we split up we could not only cover more ground, we could gain access to different resources depending on what we find before coming together and pooling our knowledge." Cirno suggested. "That… is actually rather smart." Alice said almost in disbelief, considering who had set it.

Cirno shrugged as she spoke again. "You don't become the general of an army, let alone win a war without knowing how to make plans. While sis is better at it, I still have good ideas every once in a while." Cirno pointed out as Minerva smiled at her. "That's my little sister." She said with a small smile as Cirno grinned at her. "Fine, come on Alice, Nitori, let's roll." Marisa said, climbing back on Nitori's tank with Alice as Meiling spoke up. "Let me come with you. Mokou and Patchouli can handle themselves." Meiling said as she turned to the two in question, who both nodded. "Alright then, get on Meiling." Marisa said, offering her hand to Meiling and helping her onto the tank as it started again before driving off into the woods.

"I suppose me and Mokou should be off as well." Patchouli said as Minerva and Cirno watched her and Mokou. "We aren't going to stick together?' Cirno asked as Patchouli shook her head. "No. You said it yourself, we'll cover more ground this way." Patchouli pointed out as Minerva and Cirno nodded. "See you two later." Mokou said, holding her hand out to Cirno. "A maybe we'll be able to test who's stronger when we meet again." Mokou said as Cirno took her hand and shook it. "You can count on it." Cirno said with a smile as Mokou smirked.

The four girls all bid farewell to each other, taking off in groups of two as they walked towards their new goals, where ever they were.

Color Coded Criminals

BGM: Roman Torchwick – Excerpts from RWBY Volume One Score

Roman Torchwick was in a bad mood. He had recently been threatened by some new girl on the block called Cinder Fall into pretty much working for her. Now he had to go get some third rate henchmen from Junior's club to start hitting dust stores. "I liked things better when it was just me and Neo." Roman complained as he walked into Junior's club. He hated working with a crew he didn't know. It often led to screw ups and someone getting caught. So it was better to just stick with Neo and be done with it. There was a mutual trust between him and Neo, honor among thieves and what not. Junior's gang was more suited for information gathering and stealth missions rather than standard break ins. But they had their uses.

Sitting at the bar Roman looked at the man behind the counter. "Patch 903, no ice. And bring me the big guy." Roman said quietly to the man as he nodded, taking the lien that Roman set on the counter and poured his drink before walking off to go get Junior. Taking a sip of the fine wine Roman looked around the bar counter at the several gang members sitting around him. But there were two girls that actually drew his attention slightly. The older of the two had long white hair and had several different staves on her back, and was wearing fine purple and black robes, which were evidently made for combat purposes. The girl next to her, the younger of the two, had short blue hair and had three different swords on her person. She was wearing a fine set of cloth that practically screamed 'I'm ready to fight' and she sported a long scar on her one uncovered arm.

'Intresting…' Roman thought as Junior walked up to him with his two body guards, the twins, ready to begin business. "Alright Roman, what do you want?" Junior asked as he eyed the criminal mastermind. "What, no kind words for your old pal Junior?" Roman snarked as Junior huffed. "Cut the crap Roman, we aren't friends, what's the deal your offering?" Junior asked as Roman huffed. "I need a couple of guys for a job, and you and your little gang were the first people that came to mind." Roman said quietly as Junior stared at Roman, his eyes wandering over the smartly dressed thief as he stared at Junior right back, drinking the rest of his wine.

"This isn't like you Torchwick, but I'll let you take them, how many do you need?" Junior asked as Roman took a moment to think. "Four guys." Roman responded, handing a small bundle of lien to Junior as he accepted the cash. "What's the word one the two girls over there?" Roman asked suddenly as Junior looked behind him, seeing the two girls before frowning. "Those two… I got nothing. They showed up three days ago and have been hanging around the club ever since. They don't have any lien, but they just won't leave, and none of my guys are inclined to try and make them…" Junior said as Roman raised an eyebrow before looking at the girls. "And why is that?" Roman asked as Junior turned around again and eyed the girls.

"They're professionals. We only tried to make them leave once, and the young one kicked all of my men's asses… before the elder actually offered to heal them as compensation. And she did a dam good job too, no one is in the hospital and I don't have any bills… aside from these two freeloaders hanging around." Junior said annoyed as the younger one suddenly looked at him for a moment, glaring at him before going back to talking to the older girl.

"They sound promising…" Roman said with a small smirk before getting up. "Pleasure doing business with you Junior. I'll be back later." Roman said, walking away quietly as a teenage girl with fiery yellow hair walked up to Junior. Roman took a moment to look around before hiding near the entrance to the club to watch what was going to happen.

"Strawberry Sunrise, no ice. Oh! And one of those little umbrellas." The girl said as the man behind the counter nodded, Junior turning towards the girl. "Aren't you a little young to be in this club, Blondie?" Junior asked as the girl chuckled as she put one of her hands on her hips. "Aren't you a little old to have a name like Junior?" She shot back at him Junior huffing as he leaned against the counter. "So you know who I am. You got a name sweetheart?" Junior asked as the girl crossed her arms under her breasts. "Heh. Yes, Junior, I've got several." The girl said as she slowly faced Junior as a smirk came over her face. "But instead of sweetheart, you can just call me sir." She said roughly as she punched Junior in the crotch, Junior groaning in pain from the nut shot as the girl smirked, nearby the two other girls taking notice of the conversation.

"People say you know everything." The girl started as she pulled a picture out of her back pocket and showed it to Junior. "Tell me where I can find her and I'll let you go." The girl said as Junior squeaked out an answer. "I've never seen her before. I swear!" Junior said in a high pitched voice as the girl frowned. "Excuse me?" The girl asked angrily as she crushed Junior's nuts, Junior groaning in pain as Roman took a moment to cringe in some form of sympathy for Junior from his hiding spot. "I swear, Sir!" Junior squeaked out as the two girls who were sitting at the counter slowly got up and walked away, still watching the conversation as Roman watched them. As they walked away a large group of Junior's men ran up towards the counter holding red hatchets as the blond girl smirked. "hmm, looks like we have an audience. This must be kinda embarrassing for you, huh? Awkward…" The girl said in a taunting tone.

"Listen! Blondie, sir! If you wanta make it out of this club alive, I suggest you let me go. Now!" Junior said as the girl let go of his nuts, letting Junior recuperate as he started to walk away. "You'll pay for that." Junior said as he whipped out a pair of red sunglasses and put them on, the girl walking behind him and speaking. "Oh, Junior, I was just playing with you, don't be so sensitive!" She said as she got in front of him and stopped him. "Come on, let's kiss and make up, okay?" The girl asked as Junior eyed her with a strange look. "Okay…" Junior said quietly as he and the girl got closer, Roman peeking out from his hiding spot to watch as he saw the two girls from the counter wandering around, watching the proceedings.

Junior slowly leaned in for the kiss with the girl, Roman watching in slight disgust as the two girls quickly lost interest and started to walk away, before a loud crack resounded as Junior was sent flying into one of the glass pillars, shattering it as Roman looked back at the blond girl, who had her arm outstretched. Junior slowly looking up from where he landed before a large steel bottle fell on his head and knocked him out, his men all turning towards the blond girl as she smiled, the bracelets on her arms extending into gauntlets that clicked as she the shells into them. "Ok…" Roman muttered as the henchmen started running at the girl ready to swing their hatchets as the girl jumped into the air, illuminated by the spotlight with a smile on her face as she slammed down into the dancefloor, bending the glass floor and shattering glass the henchmen were sent flying into the air the music kicking up as the club was shrouded in right light as the girl stood up illuminated by flames as she ran at a henchmen and jumped in the air, slamming her foot into the back of his head before attacking another, upper cutting him and letting a blast off with her gauntlets as she kicked another in the face at the same time.

The henchmen started trying to rush her all at once, only for the girl to soundly beat them back. Kicking one in the stomach as she punched one in the chest as another jumped at her, the girl jumping up to meet him, slamming her fist into his jaw before slamming him down to the floor. As she kicked off another man and kicked another guy into another guy before upper cutting another henchmen in to the air as she looked behind her, seeing two more running at her as she blasted both her gauntlets at once, using the force of the blasts to propel herself backwards and slamming her elbow into one of the men's stomached before blasting one in the face with her gauntlets knocking him out and into another glass pillar as one more guy tried to run at her with a sword, only for the girl to furiously jab at him and send him flying as the DJ pulled a gun out from under the turntable and started shooting at the girl.

The girl easily ran around the bullets before using her gauntlets to launch herself at the DJ and kicked him in the face before elbowing him in the jaw, grabbing the back of his head and slamming him into the turntable before throwing him off the DJ booth as the music changed.

Junior's bodyguards were standing in the middle of the ruined dancefloor, the one in white standing in her sharp heeled boots as the one in red had a pair of claws on her hands. "Melanie, who is this girl?" The one in red asked the one in white, Melanie as Melanie spoke. "I don't know Miltia, but we should teach her a lesson." Melanie said as the blonde girl huffed, ejecting all her spent cartridges and throwing a pair of cartridge belts into the air, whipping them into her gauntlets with a practiced motion to reload her gauntlets. The girl smiled before jumping off the DJ booth, firing at the two girls as blasts flew at them, the two girls flipping out of the way as the blond girl landed and continued firing at the two girls as they split up, Melanie kicking in the air and cutting one of the blasts in half with her sharp heeled boots as Miltia dashed at the girl, trying to cut her with her claws as the girl tried to blast her in the back, only for Melanie to get behind her and tried to kick her head, only for the girl to bring up her gauntlets to block as she skidded back before firing again, Melanie kicking the blast into a glass pillar and shattering it as the two girls from the bar slowly walked onto the dance floor during the fight.

Miltia tried to slash at the blonde girl as she blocked her claws, Melanie coming up behind Miltia and kicking at the girl, who was knocked off balance as Miltia came up from behind, attacking from above as Melanie kicked at her legs, the blonde girl moving her leg out of the way to avoid Melanie's kick before blocking Miltia's claws before both girls kicked at the blonde girl together, sending her flying back as she rolled on the floor before getting back up, firing behind herself and launching at Melanie, punching the girl in white in the face and knocking her back as Miltia was forced on the defensive only for the girl to break her defense, punching her several times in the gut and sending her skyward before the girl punched at her as she came back down, being sent into one of the few remaining glass pillars and shattering it as Melanie got back up, just as the blond girl tried to attack her, forcing Melanie to flip out of the way as she tried to kick at the blonde girl, only for her kick to be caught by a punch as the blonde girl tried to kick Melanie, the two girls getting locked in a small duel of kicks before the blonde girl tried to punch Melanie in the face, wasting a shot as Melanie ducked out the way and tried to kick the blond girl in the face, her kick getting blocked but sending the girl skidding backwards as Melanie tried to follow up as the girl stood back up.

Suddenly the blue haired girl stepped in front of Melanie, stopping her as the white haired girl walked up next to her. "Help your sister." The white haired girl said, focusing on the blond girl as the blue haired girl drew her sword, which was a simple metal blade as Roman watched from his hiding spot, ready to be impressed or disappointed. Melanie simply nodded before getting off the dance floor to go help Miltia.

The girl with the sword ran and the blond girl, swinging her sword as the blonde haired girl tried to punched the girl's hand, only for the girl to grab her fist with her free hand and forcing the blond girl to block with her other gauntlet as the white haired girl circled around the blond haired girl, pulling a staff off her back that started to glow as Roman watched, staring at the glowing crystal. 'Is that a dust crystal? What is she doing?' Roman wondered as he got his answer the blue crystal glowing as the blond haired girl froze up suddenly by a thin sheet of ice covering her, allowing the blue haired girl a clean hit on her and sending her flying into a wall as the blond girl got up quickly and blasted off the wall behind her, launching herself at the white haired girl.

The white haired girl stepped out of the way, allowing the blue haired girl to catch the blond girl's arm as she flew by, turning the girl's momentum against her as she flung her into one of the remaining glass pillars, shattering it as the girl landed behind the bar, shattering the glass and spilling all the different wines and alcoholic beverages all over her as she slowly stood up. At this point the girl's hair was practically glowing yellow as small flames flickered off it as she jumped over the bar and back onto the dance floor as the blue haired girl and the white haired girl stood back to back, the blue haired girl holding her sword in front of her as the white haired girl held a staff in her hands, the gem on it glowing as all the men on the dance floor started groaning, slowly getting up thanks to the waves of healing energy that had passed over them, even Junior was affected by this energy, slowly getting back up as he went to go get something to deal with this girl.

"Neat trick." The blond girl said as she pulled out two more batches of bullets, reloading her gauntlets again as she got ready to fight. "All of you back off. We'll handle this." The blue haired girl said, the henchmen all staring at the girls before picking up their weapons and slowly backing off, not wanting to fight the crazy blond again. "Let's do this." The blue haired girl said as she ran at the blond, her swung her fist at her in tandem with her swing.

Roman started paying less attention to the fight, and more attention to the two girls. "Well, well, well aren't you two something special…" Roman whispered as he looked at the white haired girl and her crystal topped staves. Apparently she could manipulate dust, or what he thought was dust, to cause a variety of effects with her staves. The girl with the sword was none the less impressive, easily holding her own, and slowly winning against the blond girl with nothing more than just one of her three swords, though she seemed to be holding back.

"Thanks for the help ladies." Junior suddenly said as the blue haired girl and the white haired girl backed off and turned to him, as he held a rocket launcher over his shoulder, a spotlight shining down on him as he spoke. "But I'm going to make her pay for this." Junior said as the two girls backed off, getting off the dance floor as Roman smiled from his hiding spot, watching the rest of the fight play out as the two girls stood off to the side.

Junior was quick with the trigger, aiming at the blond girl and pulling it quickly, letting out a barrage of six rockets that flew all over the place before trying to home in on the blond girl as she flipped out of the way. Junior let off another barrage as the girl returned fire, Junior switching the rocket launcher into the form of a giant bat as he jumped at the girl, swinging the heavy weapon at her and knocking her back slightly as she stumbled, only getting a moment to look up before Junior sent her flying with an upward swing. The girl crashed into some glass, shattering it as Junior smirked, putting the bat on his shoulder as the girl got up, her hair starting to burn brightly as she chuckled. Taking a moment to stand up straight before slamming her fists together, letting off a blast of energy as her hair stood straight up and she was illuminated by flames before she dashed as Junior, who quickly switched his bat back into a rocket launcher and fired again.

The girl easily dodged out of the way of the rockets just as Junior switched the rocket launcher back into a bat, trying to swing it at the girl as she easily dodged his lumbering swings. The girl then slammed her fist into Junior's face, then his chest, and just as she pulled back Junior grabbed at her hair, pulling out a few strands with the girl's notice as she pulled off a vicious barrage of jabs at Junior's stomach before punching at him with devastating force, Junior trying to block to punch with his weapon, only for it to shatter completely as he was sent skidding back, Junior taking a moment to look at his broken weapon before looking at the strands of hair he clutched in his other hand.

The girl then noticed the hair, her eyes turning red as she flung her arms to her sides, practically exploding with force as all the glass in the club shattered as a blindly white light overtook almost everyone in the club as the girl dashed at Junior, letting out a yell as she punched him with enough force to send him flying out of a window and out onto the street out cold as the girl followed him out.

Back inside the club Roman was left staring in shock as he slowly stepped out of his hiding spot and looked at the destroyed club. "Someone has anger issues…" The white haired girl said quietly as the blue haired girl nodded. Roman smirked as she started walking up towards the girls.

"That was quite the display girls." Roman said with a smile as the girls turned to him. "It was wasn't it?" The blue haired girl asked the older girl who nodded. "At least poor Junior won't have to pay for hospital bills. Except for his own of course." The white haired girl said as Roman coughed to get their attention. "As fascinating as this conversation is, I would like to offer you girls a deal." Roman said as the two girls shared a look between each other as Roman smirked. "You want to know what it is? Right?" Roman asked as the girls nodded. "Well I want you two to come and work with me and a partner of mine. Fired help and what not… though you two could become a little more than just hired hands." Roman said, sugar coating his words as the girls both smirked before chuckling. "You can't try and manipulate us sir, I know better, and so does my sister. And besides, we don't even know your name." The white haired girl said as Roman smirked.

"Roman Torchwick… a businessman of sorts." Roman said, tipping his hat to the girls. "A thief… classy. Very well. My name is Minerva, and my sister here is Cirno." Minerva said as Roman chuckled. "Your names aren't colors." Roman said as The two girls shared as shrugged. "Neither is yours." Cirno said as Roman chuckled. "Touché. But about that offer. What do you say? Partner for now?" Roman asked as the two girls took a moment to share a glance with each other. "Very well then." Minerva said as she and Cirno held out their hands. "Let's get to work." Minerva said as Cirno smirked, Roman smiled, genuinely smiled. These girls were good, and if they survived this first mission, they could become a second pair to join him a Neo in crime… and maybe they could help get him away from that devil Cinder. "Then let's go ladies. We have a job to do." Roman said as Roman spun his cane, leading the two girls as four henchmen started following them. They had a job to do.

Atlas Initiative

BGM: Atlas Theme Revised (RWBY)

Mokou and Patchouli watched from the deck of the airship they had gotten on to head to Atlas. It had been easy enough to stow away on the ship, or so they thought. They had been caught by security cameras, but no one had done anything about it yet for some reason. Patchouli and Mokou both looking out over the icy landscape of Atlas as the airship started pulling in for a landing. "It's cold here." Patchouli noted as Mokou huffed, leaning against the railing. "You think?" Mokou said back to her as she looked at the loading dock. Lines of soldiers were there along with crew men ready unload the ship as Mokou stood up. "Let's go Patchy." Mokou said as she started walking towards the stairs that led into the ship and towards the ground floor.

Getting on the ship had been the easy part, but now that they were in Atlas, getting off the ship was going to be much harder. The two had been found and sent with the other passengers towards the gangway to get off the ship. Patchouli had been a bit concerned, thinking they would need tickets to get off, but Mokou had waved her off without concern. After spending all of fifteen minutes waiting in line it was finally their turn to get off by presenting their tickets.

Patchouli took this time to glare at Mokou as she shrugged. "Come on, we don't have all day." The guard said as he waited for Mokou to present her ticket. "Yeah… about that." Mokou started as she suddenly punched at the guard, knocking him out as all the guars turned their guns on her as she looked at them Patchouli ducking behind cover as the guards all prepared to shoot. "Sorry about that, money's kinda in short supply." Mokou said as she fingered her katana, ready to pull it out. "But beatings aren't." Mokou said as the men all started shooting.

BGM: I Burn (RWBY || RoosterTeeth) ~ Orchestral Battle Arrange

Mokou was quickly to pull out the Raijinto, a small wall of lightning springing up in front of her and evaporating the bullets as they touched it. All the guards stopped firing as Mokou smirked. All the guards were staring at her sword, which was glowing with lightning as it crackled dangerously. "What's wrong?" Mokou said as she slowly lifted the sword, pointing it at the guards as they slowly backed away. "You feeling lucky punks?" Mokou asked as Patchouli walked out of her own hiding spot. "Calm down Mokou, it was just tickets." Patchouli said as Mokou huffed. "Sorry but I don't want to be arrested." Mokou snarked as Patchouli face palmed. "You did not think this through at all…" She whispered.

"Whatever. Let's dance." Mokou said as she practically disappeared from view from sheer speed, the guards all gasping as Mokou appeared behind one, slamming the hilt of the Raijinto into the back of his head as she sheathed to katana, using the legendary blade while it was sheathed to avoid killing anyone.

Spinning around she used the sheathed sword to slam a soldier into a wall as the others started firing at her, Mokou pulling the Raijinto out of its sheath again and creating a new wall of lightning to catch the bullets, only for the wall to evaporate as Mokou shot past it, grabbing one of the soldiers by the arm before tossing him into another guard.

The rest of the soldiers all started backing off wearily as footsteps started clinking against the tile of the hallway. Mokou turned towards the sound as the soldiers started running, the sound of the heels becoming more apparent as a girl in white walked up through the hallway. "Commander Schnee!" One of the soldiers called as the girl held her hand out. "Stand back soldier, I'll handle this." She said, pulling her cutlass out of its sheath as Mokou smirked, holding her sheath with a smile as she placed it back on her side. "Commander Schnee? Really?" Mokou asked tauntingly as Patchouli groaned in annoyance. "Winter Schnee criminal. I'm a commander of a special forces unit." Winter said as Mokou chuckled. "I'm honored to have attracted such attention. Name's Mokou. My buddy here is Patchouli." Mokou said as Winter eyed Patchouli, who was busy sighed as she shook her head. "We could have avoided this Mokou…" Patchouli said as Mokou smirked. "Where's the fun in that?" Mokou asked as she looked at Winter.

BGM: 11 Qrow vs Winter – By Jeff Williams

Winter was quickly fed up with Mokou as she tried to stab at her head, Mokou casually dodging out of the way before making a small bowing gesture with her hands at her sides. Winter gaining a scowl on her face as she tried to slice Mokou in the back, only for Mokou to shoot back up and pull the Raijinto out of its sheath, the blade of lightning making sparks against Winter's cutlass as the two girls took a moment to step back before engaging again.

Winter tried to slash at Mokou's side, only for Mokou to parry the slice and go for her own, Winter parrying that as the two started to fall into a rhythm of countering each other's blows. Mokou was clearly enjoying herself, while Winter was getting angry she was being toyed with.

Nearby general Ironwood had seen the footage of the ensuing fight, and was going himself with a small legion of soldiers. 'Just hold on Winter, we're coming' Ironwood thought as he and the soldiers ran towards the building where Winter and Mokou were fighting. Mokou had ended up breaking down a wall of the building and jumping out into the courtyard, where people and soldiers had scattered as Winter followed her out to continue fighting. Patchouli had been left in the building as she sighed. "This is one of those days again…" patchouli muttered as she started to recited a few spells, a staircase of stone shooting out of the ground and up towards the hole in the building to allow Patchouli to walk down to the courtyard to follow the fight.

Mokou and Winter were pretty much two blurs on the battlefield that only appeared when they clashed, Mokou still smirking as Winter grunted. "What's the matter girl? All talk and no skill?" Mokou taunted as Winter grunted. "Don't you dare say that." Winter shot back at her as she pulled away, her and Mokou both stopping for a moment as Winter flicked a small switch on her cutlass, a small knife coming out of the handle that she gripped in her off hand.

Mokou smirked as she held the Rajinto in one hand, the blade of lightning crackling as fire started to kick up around Mokou, a large flame of warmth in the freezing cold that was Atlas. "This should be fun." Mokou said as she and Winter went at it again. At this point Patchouli had climbed down the staircase, which had slowly disappeared behind her back into the ground as Ironwood and the soldiers appeared on the scene.

Patchouli eyed the man and the soldiers, knowing they would interfere with Winter and Mokou's fight if she allowed it. "We've come this far, too late to back out now." Patchouli said quietly as she walked between the soldiers and the fight between Mokou and Winter. "You! You're under arrest!" Ironwood shouted as he tried to stop the fighting, his soldiers all raising their guns as Patchouli spoke. "I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid that's not happening." Patchouli said as she pulled her tome out from behind her, whipping it open as she quickly started reciting spells rapidly, fireballs formed around Patchouli as the soldiers open fired, only for the metal of the ground to shoot up and cover Patchouli in a protective dome as the fireballs shot at the soldiers who scattered as the fireballs exploded, the dome of metal going back into the ground as Ironwood eyed the girl, who's purple eyes stared at him with a tried. "All of you, stand back. I'll take care of this." Ironwood said as he pulled his hand cannon out of its holster, ready to fight as he walked towards Patchouli, stopped when he was only a few feet away.

"What was your purpose for coming to Atlas?" Ironwood asked as the girl shrugged. "Less of a purpose and more of a chance happening, we had no idea where the ship would take us." Patchouli said as Ironwood frowned. "I doubt that a maiden wouldn't know where she is going." Ironwood whispered quietly to avoid letting anyone else hear. "Maiden? I do not understand, unless you are referring to the fact I am indeed a girl." Patchouli said as Ironwood stared at her, looking for any sign of lying in her eyes, to which he could find none. "Then who are you?" Ironwood asked as Patchouli spoke quietly. "I am Patchouli Knowledge, the Seven Days Magician." Patchouli said as Ironwood spoke again. "Do you or your friend have any reason for being in Atlas." Ironwood asked as Patchouli shook her head. "Other than just traveling and searching for something to do now, not much." Patchouli admitted as he watched Winter and Mokou's fight, which had stopped as the two locked blades. "Winter! That's enough!" Ironwood called as Winter looked behind her. "General Ironwood, sir!" Winter said as she pulled away from Mokou jumping away until she landed next to Ironwood, putting her knife back in the compartment of her cutlass as she sheathed it.

"We are going to escort these girls to my office, understand." Ironwood said as Winter stared at him before saluting. "On your orders General." Winter said as Mokou walked up next to Patchouli, sheathing her sword. "What's this about?" Mokou asked as Patchouli glared at her before slapping the back of Mokou's head, causing Mokou to rub the back of her head and flinch as Ironwood spoke. "Come with me." Ironwood said as his guards started lining up and Winter stood beside him.

BGM: Commander – Ironwood's Theme

It had taken a while to walk to Ironwood's office, but soon he was sitting at his desk with Winter beside him, Mokou and Patchouli sitting across from him. "Computer, seal all doors and windows, nothing gets out of this room." Ironwood said as the windows started to dim, the door sealing shut as shutters closed over the windows of Ironwood's office. "So then, where to begin." Ironwood said as he set his hands on the desk.

"Sir, these two were stowaways on a transport ship, the white haired one attacked several guards before I arrived." Winter said as Mokou spoke up. "I didn't kill anyone alright; I understand people get prissy about that." Mokou said nonchalantly as Winter glared at her and patchouli sighed. "Allow me to introduce Mokou Fujiwara, a friend of mine… and the owner of the Raijinto." Patchouli said as Ironwood stared at her. "That sword she carries?" Ironwood asked as Patchouli nodded. "The very same. The sword of lightning and fire. Something Mokou knows all too well." Patchouli said as Mokou rose her hand and made a small flame appear in her palm, Ironwood staring as Winter blinked at the flame before going back into an expressionless face.

"And you claim you are not a maiden?" Ironwood asked as patchouli sighed. "I have no idea what you are talking about. I told you before, I am the Seven Days Magician. I studied long and hard to learn the seven schools of magic I have, all of them from old books and practice." Patchouli said as Ironwood stared at her, trying to find any deceit once again. "Very well… then I'll tell you exactly what a maiden is." Iron said as he stood up and started his story.

"The seasonal maidens are four girls with great power. As you can probably guess each of them are based on the four seasons in magic. While all can control the other elements to some degree, each has their focus. The winter maiden has water, the fall maiden has fire, the summer maiden was wind, and the spring maiden has earth. Simple." Ironwood said as Patchouli stood up. "I control all four, and more Ironwood." Patchouli said as Ironwood looked at her, Patchouli making small rocks come up from the floor as the metal of the floor twisted into a small sculpture, a small flame formed around her alongside a bubble of water floated above her hand. A gust of wind picked up as a small tree formed atop the metal sculpture, only for two small orbs, one a copy of the sun and the other a copy of the moon to float beside her for a moment before it all disappeared, except for the metal sculpture and the tiny tree.

"Impressive…" Ironwood muttered, knowing the cameras connected to his private server had captured the spectacle. "I am no maiden; I am a magician." Patchouli said as Ironwood nodded. "I can see that… Winter." Ironwood said as Winter stood up straight. "Sir?" She asked as Ironwood spoke. "I want these two on probation for the Atlas Initiative squad. They are under your care now Winter." Ironwood said as Winter looked at him. "It's not my place to say sir, but is that really a smart choice?" Winter asked as Ironwood looked at the two girls, patchouli who was staring at him and Mokou who was ignoring him. "No one but you and I are to know what these girls are capable of, but I want them helping the people of Remnant. Under your command." Ironwood said as Winter sighed. "Yes sir." Winter said as Ironwood turned to the girls. "Are you ok with this?" Ironwood asked as Patchouli nodded. "I'm not wearing a uniform." Mokou said annoyed as Patchouli glared at her.

Trailer 3

From the Mountain to the Beacon

BGM: [3L Pro] Original VGM – "Scourge of Conflict"

Meiling grunted as she punched one of the monsters, a wolf-like one in the face, shattering its bone plate mask and killing the creature as it dissolved into particles of darkness. "There is not end to these things!" Meiling shouted to Marisa as Marisa shot several arrows at a trio of rhino like creatures, hitting them in the legs and causing them topple as Alice sliced through their soft stomachs, killing them as Marisa spoke. "We can see that Meiling, just keep fighting!" Marisa shouted at her as Meiling punched straight through another monster's face, killing it instantly as Nitori took aim at a large monster with her tank, firing a large steel spike that plowed through the monster with ease.

"We need to keep moving! It's obvious this city isn't going to be of any use to us!" Nitori shouted from inside her tank, referring to the large abandoned and crumbling city they were in under the mountain. "Well then what are we waiting for!" Marisa shouted at Nitori as she took aim at another monster, firing an arrow that hit it dead in the eye, killing it easily as Alice reappeared from the shadows next to Marisa.

"There is a group of five people north of us fighting a large contingent of these beasts. If we join up with them, we can combine our firepower and maybe get a way out of here." Alice suggested as Marisa nodded. "You heard her, Move out!" Marisa shouted as the three girls took positions around Nitori's tank.

BGM: Caffeine – RWBY Volume 2

Nearby a group of four huntsmen and a teacher were fighting the Grimm. "Coco, status report." A rotund man said as he looked at the teenage girl next to him who had been firing into the crowd of Grimm with her minigun. "Everything's going well as usual professor Port." Coco said as she looked at her team mates. Yatsuhashi and Fox were fighting the Grimm with ease, however Velvet had stopped fighting, looking off towards the south for some reason. "Velvet? What is it?" Coco asked as Velvet looked to her leader.

"I heard something Coco, it sounds like shouting." Velvet said as she pointed to the south. "And I think a cannon?" Velvet said, not sure herself what she had heard. "Professor?" Coco asked, looking towards Port for an answer on what to do. "You're the team leader Coco, it's your choice what to do." Professor Port said as Coco nodded. "Alright team, we make towards the south, let's find out what's going on there." Coco said as Fox and Yatsuhashi looked at her before nodding silently. "Let's move." Coco said, taking off in a run with her team mates as Port followed behind them.

Both groups continued fighting the Grimm, unintentionally funneling the monsters between them and blasting them into nothing with impunity. When the two groups caught sight of each other Marisa smiled as she ran towards them, casually shooting a few Grimm in the head with her bow as she ran towards them. "Hey there! Uh… do you have any idea where we are?" She asked as Coco stared at her for a moment, letting her Minigun turn back into a handbag as she lowered her sunglasses to look in the girl's eyes. "Mountain Glenn… how can you not know that?" Coco asked as Marisa shrugged. "We've been wandering around for about week fighting them dam things, whatever they are, and we kinda need to not be lost anymore." Marisa said as Coco just continued staring at the girl as Velvet looked at all their weapons, quickly pulling out her camera and snapping pictures of Marisa's bow, Alice's kunai and Nitori's tank.

"Are… you from around here?" Coco asked as Professor Port caught up. "Nope. We got stuck here after some IDIOT!" Marisa shouted, thinking Anankos would hear her if she did for some reason. "Screwed up the teleport." Marisa said, angry as Nitori poked her head out of her tank. "To be fair Marisa, it was basically a test run with those things." Nitori said as she sat atop her tank.

"Coco? What's going on here?" Professor Port asked as Coco gestured to the four girls. "I… honestly have no idea professor." Coco said, shaking her head in confusion at what the hell was happening. "Wait you're a professor?" Marisa asked as Alice jumped behind her to back her up. "She called him professor, you think he wouldn't be?" Alice snarked as Marisa glared at her.

"Are you girls alright?" Port asked as Meiling spoke up. "We've been fighting these things for a fricken week straight, you think we are?" Meiling asked as Port coughed. "Ah… I understand. Who are you girls?" Port asked as Marisa spoke up. "Well I'm Marisa, this is Alice, the girl on the tank is Nitori, and that's Meiling." Marisa said, pointing at everyone as Meiling sighed and leaned against the tank for a moment.

"You girls wouldn't mind coming with us back to Beacon would you? It's dangerous out here." Port suggested as Marisa shrugged. "If we don't have to fight any more of these things for a while, sure." Marisa said as Port nodded. "Well then, Coco, I believe it's time we returned to the bullhead. Come along." Port said walking back with his weapon on his back as Meiling stared at it. "That… should not be an actual weapon." Meiling said, referred to the fact it was a axe attached to a gun. "There's weirder." Coco said as she walked towards Port, her team joining her as the girls followed them.

BGM: Out of Time – Ozpin Theme (Fan made)

Ozpin sat in his office looking over the report Peter Port had made just an hour earlier about the mission to Mountain Glenn. The and team CFVY had found a group of four girls claiming them had been fighting Grimm for a week. But the strange thing was they claimed something about a test run, and they didn't know about the Grimm or anything about remnant. None of their weapons used dust, and one of them didn't even have a weapon, but was still a combatant.

But now they were about to step into his office, having been led by Peter back to Beacon for some well-deserved rest it seemed. As the elevator door opened the four girls stepped out. Alice, Marisa, Nitori and Meiling, as they had called themselves. It was obvious at least three of them worked well together as a team, standing close to each other and watching each other's back, but Meiling seemed to be the odd one out of the group.

"Hello girls… please, have a seat." Ozpin said, gesturing to the four chairs he had situated in front of his desk. Marisa however seemed to take on look at his chair and was struggling to hold his laughter in as Alice held her hand to her face. Nitori and Meiling seemingly confused as to the reaction of the two girls. "Is something the matter girls?" Ozpin asked as Marisa chuckled. "You do realize your chair looks like a dick right?" Marisa said with a smirk before she burst out laughing Ozpin frowning as he sighed. He had missed that it had looked like that when he had first ordered the chair… but it was a comfy chair. "My chair is not important miss Marisa. Please have a seat." Ozpin said politely as Marisa sat down, kicking her legs up and putting them on his desk as the other three girls sat politely.

"So girls? You really don't know about the creatures of Grimm… or this world?" Ozpin asked as Marisa took her feet of his desk. "Wherever this world is, I got no clue. We ended up here because a stupid dragon messed up his experiment and his teleportation didn't work." Marisa complained as Ozpin raised an eyebrow. "Dragon?" He asked as Marisa waved him off. "It's a motif of Anankos, that's the man who made the teleportation that sent us here on accident." Alice said as Ozpin nodded. He suspected there was more to that, but he would let it slide. "Where were you girls trying to go?" Ozpin asked as Meiling sighed. "Home… Anankos pulled us away from home to help save his world, and when he tried to send us back… we ended up here." Meiling said quietly as Ozpin closed his eyes. This Anankos… he sounded quite a bit like himself. Pulling people away from their homes to go save the world… "Did you save his world?" Ozpin asked quietly.

"We did. Well we helped save it. It took the help of over a hundred good people, several massive wars, and enough bloodshed to last several lifetimes to save the world… but we did it. We did save the world." Alice said sadly as she closed her eyes, remembering her fallen friends. Saizo, Astore, among others. "Doesn't help the old dragon up and disappeared just before we did, with Garon, Jaffar, Zelgius and Cid for some dam reason." Marisa complained as Ozpin raised an eyebrow. "Who are those people?" Ozpin asked. "Zelgius was a general and a friend of king Garon, Jaffar was Alice's teacher, and Cid… we don't really know Cid, but he was a good man with a bad mouth and a lot a skill." Nitori said as Ozpin nodded. "Do you have any idea where they disappeared to?" Ozpin asked as all four girls shrugged. "No clue. They all up a left, claimed it was time for the next generation to take its place in the world." Meiling said as Ozpin took a sip of his coffee.

"How long did this saving the world take you girls?" Ozpin asked as he closed his eyes. "Anankos managed to call us all over the timestream… two friends of ours were sent nearly twenty years into the past and changed to course of history extremely, were we sent about five years before the final war with Anankos… and Meiling and two others ended up appearing only a few months before the final war started." Alice admitted as Ozpin sighed. "It seems this Anankos had a problem with his teleportation, even back then." Ozpin noted. "You think?" Marisa asked angrily as she gripped the Fuijin Yumi tightly. "Now we're stuck here, in this dam world filled with monsters and what not! After five years of constant fighting! All we get is more conflict!" Marisa shouted as she quickly got and held the Fuijin up, Ozpin getting a quick look at her bow as it lit up, the bowstring forming as an arrow formed in her fingers. "CAN WE JUST GET SOME DAM PEACE FOR AT LEAST A LITTLE WHILE!" Marisa shouted in anger as she fired her arrow, that flew past Ozpin's head and shattered the window behind him, causing wind to rush into the room as Ozpin sat still in his chair as Marisa slowly calmed down, Alice, Nitori and Meiling all waiting for her to sit back down. "Years ago I would have asked for the fighting to keep on coming, now look at me… I just want it to end, at least for a little while, just so we can finally rest." Marisa said quietly as Ozpin frowned at the girl.

'This… this is something I've seen before.' Ozpin thought as he looked among the four girls. All of them were jaded, each of them had blood on their hands from war and trying to save a world that hadn't been theirs. They didn't show it as readily as Marisa did, but it was clear that at least Nitori had the same PTSD that Marisa seemed to have, if her expression was anything to go by.

"I can offer you girls a place here at Beacon." Ozpin said suddenly as Marisa and the others all looked at him, the broken window letting wind stream in behind him, blowing his short hair and his closes in a manner that seems almost surreal. "You girls obviously have plenty of experience fighting… so why don't you teach some classes here at Beacon, or at least be teachers assistants. I can offer you all sanctuary here at Beacon. No more fighting for now unless you really need to. How does that sound?" Ozpin asked as Marisa looked at him with a sad and relieved smile on her face before looking at the other girls, who all nodded to her. "We'll take it Ozpin." Marisa said as Ozpin smiled at them for a moment.

"What can you all do?" Ozpin asked as Marisa stood up. "I'm an archer… and I know my ways around infiltration. You know, getting certain things and getting out quietly." Marisa said as Alice spoke up. "I know infiltration as well, as well as knowing how to make poisons and silent kills." Alice said, not speaking up about her magic. "I'm an inventor, I make things. Like my tank. Took down one of those giant elephants with it with one shot." Nitori said with a smile as Ozpin leaned in a bit. "You took down a Goliath with that tank?" Ozpin asked. "We've faced worse than a giant black elephant Ozpin… try fighting the reanimated corpses of friends and allies, or just fighting the undead at all. Or these grotesque muscled monsters called faceless that were made from the corpses of innocent people. Or the stone born, giant monsters made of stone that were almost impossibly strong." Meiling said as she closed her eyes, trying to get the images out of her head as Ozpin frowned. "You girls have faced horrors not unlike our own here on Remnant. But what can you do Meiling?" Ozpin asked, expressing his sympathy as Meiling sighed. "I'm a martial artist, and I'm strong enough to punch straight through one of those wolf monsters' bony faces." Meiling said as Ozpin nodded.

"I'll let you all get situated here on campus. Meet the other staff and what not. I'll have your jobs ready by the time the next semester starts here at Beacon Academy." Ozpin said as the girls all nodded, all of them getting up and going to the elevator. "Marisa… could I speak to you alone for a moment?" Ozpin asked as Marisa stopped just before the elevator. "I'll be down in a bit girls." Marisa said as the others got in the elevator. "We'll wait for you Marisa." Alice said as the elevator closed, taking the girls down as Ozpin got up from his chair.

"Tell me Marias… how bad was this world you were sent to save?" Ozpin asked as Marisa walked up next to him. "It was pretty crappy when we got there, but it had been made a better place by some friends of ours who managed to help King Garon bring his nation back from the brink to fight what was coming." Marisa said as Ozpin closed his eyes. "What did this evil that was threatening the world want Marisa?" Ozpin asked as Marisa closed her eyes. "It wanted nothing more than domination and destruction… There was actually a timeline where we had failed our duty to save the world and three kids ended up coming back from the bad future to try and prevent it… and they sure did help do that." Marisa said quietly as Ozpin sighed.

"You learned that you had failed once and yet you continued to strive onwards?" Ozpin asked as Marisa nodded. "If anything, learning that revelation just pushed us to go further. We didn't take any chances. In most stories it's just a small group of heroes that save the world… that couldn't be far enough from the truth." Marisa said as she slowly took her hat off her head, Ozpin watching her as she pulled a large book out of her hat somehow, but Ozpin didn't question it. "This… this was the army roster… it contains the names of every man, women and child… yes child, that helped end the war against this great evil." Marisa said softly as she opened the massive book to its last page, where one giant picture took up the whole page. Ozpin was left staring at almost a hundred people who all stood together for this one picture, all of them with smiles and weapons covered in blood, there were young men and women, a few children and even some older people. They looked like they had been through hell and lived to tell the tale…

"This picture was taken just after we had saved the world… it was taken so that we would never forget everyone…" Marisa said quietly as she lowered her head, trying to keep in the tears as her fingers drifted towards the right side of the page, Ozpin looking towards the group who was more focused on the right. "I could tell you everyone who I had traveled with, everyone I had fought with, by name. I know all of them… they were great friends… and now… I might never see them again…" Marisa said quietly as tears started to fall, Marisa falling into Ozpin's chair as she tried to hold in what tears she could as Ozpin slowly looked over the picture.

Here was someone sitting before him who had been through what he was pretty much trying to do. Stop the end of the world. And what had become of her but a girl who put on a mask to hide her pain. "I'm sorry about what you had to go through Marisa." Ozpin said quietly as Marisa wiped her tears. "It's alright… if it didn't go through it I wouldn't have made all those friends… At least if we had gone home we would have been able to visit them again… now we're trapped here on this world…" Marisa said as she slammed her fist into Ozpin's table.

"Go and get some rest Marisa… it's clear that you've more than earned it with all you've been through." Ozpin said as he closed her book and helped her up, helping her walk towards the elevator and handing the book to her as she held it tightly. "Good night Marisa." Ozpin said as Marisa looked up at him. "Kirisame." Marisa said as Ozpin raised an eyebrow. "My last name… it's Kirisame." Marisa said as Ozpin smiled. "Good night miss Kirisame." Ozpin said as the elevator closed slowly. "Night Oz." Marisa said just as the elevator closed, leaving Ozpin to stare at the door for a moment before closing his eyes and waling over to his destroyed window.

"Is how I'm going about trying to save the world wrong?" Ozpin asked quietly as he thought about the encounter that had just happened. Here was a group of people that had basically been put through what he was trying to put students through. They had saved the world… but had become broken and jaded in the process. They had lost any innocence they may have had. He knew it well, that no matter how hard they tried, even if they had ended up going home, they may never have readjusted to their home again. They had fought long and hard, and paid for it in blood, tears and now, not being able to go home.

"I'll get it right… I'll make sure this world is saved." Ozpin said as he closed his eyes. "But I'm going to do it so that no one ends up like her… so broken… so jaded…" Ozpin whispered as he sat down at his desk, letting the wind from the broken window flow over him. "But how?" Ozpin muttered.

(Stage Clear)

AN: Well… here it is. The first chapter of the new book four. An overwhelming majority of you wanted RWBY instead of Pokémon, so I went ahead and wrote it. Already it should be easy to figure out who is where. Patchouli and Mokou are out of the picture until Atlas shows up for the Vytal Festival, Cirno and Minerva, yes Minerva, not Vaati, are with Roman and Neo… and then we have Marisa… poor, poor Marisa. War… war is hell and the only ones who came out of Fates of illusion almost unscathed by the world of Fates were Patchouli, Meiling and Mokou, and only because they were only there for pretty much less than a year. Nitori, Alice and Marisa are not only broken slightly, but jaded. Marisa likes having friends, and things happened during Fates of illusion that broke part of Marisa. She wasn't really all there to begin with, but now it's slightly less… and the fact she might not be going home to Gensokyo to everyone she knows has hit her extremely hard. Out of the entire team, Marisa was the most social, she had to most friends. Not only has she lost her friends from the Fates world, but now from Gensokyo as well. She's been hit hard, maybe she'll be back up? Who knows. But for now, just leave your reviews below for the first chapter of Book Four of Fugere Illusion: Dust of Illusion.
