A soft wind was blowing through the area and on it was the hellish scent of the lands beyond this one, a barrier completely gone and barely Youkai remained after all the fighting.
A simple flickering image of Marisa appeared before the grave saw before when the heroes first saw this hell. " Its me again...not even gonna sugarcoat it...we utterly failed in our mission, we got to the bastard and then he just...tore us all apart. Alice, Cirno, Remilia, Flandre, even the Riders. The last line of defense we had, wiped out by that power he had."
Marisa softly removes her hat and showing the massive gash she had on her head, the blood oozing down onto her remaining eye as she did not even bother to clean it, the ember of her life was fading anyways. " Hah...truly laughable...I think my stubbornness just kept me going even after you died protecting us. But that stubbornness refused to let it end, and it caused my friends their lives. Yukari...gave up entirely on helping us out, after...Ran and Chen were killed as examples. she just wanted to live in peace in that...house of hers."
A strong cough came from Marisa's mouth before seeing the red staining the ground. " Ah...if I weren't so stubborn...maybe those allies Yukari talked about that were locked outside of Japan's barrier...they could have turned the tidea, let us win but...if those three were here...maybe, things would have went so much better." Marisa could no longer hold herself up.
" So sorry...we could not fix the timeline to the way it was...so we could laze about and enjoy tea without all this evil stuff raining down on us...guess, i am gonna see you on the other side." Marisa said before coughing once more, the light in her eye soon fading as the image ended, as ziden was looking at the Hakkero she left behind as a recording.
"...I don't know what happened to cause this, but we are gonna fix it, according to Tsukasa, who barely escaped with his life,we can take something called the Denliner to the past, 4 months before all of this and sometime after...she dies, we can join your resistance and end this. Sakuya and Kaguya are already there. I told Yukari, that I would fix this world and make it so that these lands can be in peace. I swear it."
Ziden softly picks up the Hakkero and soon places it into his pocket, looking at the grave he made for Marisa. " I promise you, we will get this fixed and you will be able to live happy again." Ziden said while gently going to stand, the male looking at the train resting in the distance, Tsukasa messing with his bandaids while grimacing.
" I'll fix, whatever M Bison did to this world and restore it, i swear it." On the other grave, Ziden gently moved his hand onto it and prays, gently walking away and soon leaving to the train.
The camera soon turns to the grave marker and revealed who it was that died on that day.
Here lies Hakurei Reimu, beloved hero of Gensokyo who fell protecting her friends from Bison and that Black Knight of his...
