Hello! I thought Id try my hand at another crossover story, this time focusing mainly around Touhou. There will be characters from many series appearing, but for now I may or may not retain from only using characters from video games, at least ones I know at least. And one thing to note is there may be more females than males, but it may change, so let's see first. Who knows.
And without further ado, I hope you enjoy reading this.
It was a quiet morning. The sun had risen, the birds chirping, the chickens clucking from afar, the morning breeze blowing steadily. Reimu had just woken up from bed by the sunlight peering through the window.
"Sigh... Looks like this will be another boring day..." she muttered as she got up and walked towards the bathroom. Later, after she had taken a bath and later her breakfast, she walked outside to let the morning breeze waltz around her. She was enjoying her morning breeze when she noticed just how messy her front yard was. "Oh, come on. It's dirty already? Sigh..." She lazily went to grab a broom and went to clean her yard. She was tired of having to clean her front yard everyday only to go dirty again the next hour. Even then, she still went to sweep her front yard, hopelessly wishing that someday someone would come visit her shrine.
As she swept, she could hear fairies' laughters and she could even see the fairies playing in the distance. She really didn't want the fairies to disturb her, but if they would become the stubborn creatures that they are, she would have no choice but to teach them a lesson. Then she heard the all-familiar greeting.
"Yo, Reimu! How's it going down there?" the voice called out.
Reimu looked up to see her witch of a friend greeting her with her beaming smile. She sometimes wondered how the hell she manages to stay cheerful all the time.
"Yo. Morning, Marisa." Reimu greeted back. "You're up early today." She then noticed the sack Marisa slung over her shoulder. "Did you just come back from raiding Patchouli's library again?" she asked.
"Nope. I was just done collecting all these new mushroom that just grew around the Forest of Magic." Marisa replied. "Wanna see some?"
"I guess. I don't see why not." Reimu said with a shrug as she waited for Marisa to land. When Marisa had landed, she showed her the sack which was filled with strange looking mushrooms amongst other regular mushrooms. Some were brown and cube-like, some were small and had long white stalks with thick red caps, and others were translucent purple, all three having no spots whatsoever. "Well, these are weird looking, but hey, I'm not a mushroom expert like you, so I wouldn't know." she commented after she had taken a look at the mushrooms.
"Hey, I'm always excited to discover new types of mushrooms, so if I ever see new ones, you can bet your shrine I would experiment on them until I have a better understanding of them!" Marisa said excitedly with a grin.
"Please, I don't want to bet my shrine on it." Reimu said jokingly. Marisa then seemed excited once again.
"Oh, I forgot to show you something." Marisa said as she reached her hand into the sack, pulling out the translucent mushroom. "See this? It has some interesting abilities! Just watch!" Marisa placed the mushroom on the ground and took out her mini hakkero where she would then place it on top of the mushroom. Just as the mini hakkero touched the mushroom, it suddenly shot a laser blast into the sky(Marisa had taken care to aim it into the sky) without Marisa even doing anything.
"Woah!" Reimu said in surprise, backing away a bit.
"Woah is right! This mushroom is more than enough to fire off a full power Master Spark, and I'm not even using any of my power!" Marisa said proudly. She then took caution to remove the mushroom from beneath the mini hakkero and the laser blast would slowly dissipate. "Well, what do you think?"
"What do I think? I think it's very dangerous! Whatever you do, do not just use it without proper care!" Reimu said to her worriedly. "You could've destroyed my shrine!"
"Hey, hey, don't you worry about it, Reimu! I specialize in this kind of stuff, so you don't have to worry about me causing some incident or something. Hehe~" Marisa then placed the mushroom back into the sack and slung it over her shoulder. "Anyway, I'm gonna head back home and experiment with them. I'll drop by again to tell you what I have found about it some time. See ya!" With that, she hopped onto her broom and flew away before Reimu could say anything.
"I swear, if you die doing it some time in the future, I am not attending your funeral." Reimu murmured before she resumed back to sweeping the shrine grounds.
Meanwhile, from within a temple in a secluded space...
A blonde-haired woman was lazily sitting under the kotatsu in her living room enjoying her tea. It would seem like any other day for her and she was just getting bored when she felt a disturbance from somewhere. She looked outside to locate the source of the disturbance only to see a giant laser beam fire through the skies from whatever downward direction it came from. She was surprised to see it being so large and was even more surprised when she felt the power being released from the laser.
"Holy... Just what is this power?" she said to herself as she watched the laser fly into the skies. It would seem that the laser would be never ending, but it would soon stop just a few seconds later. When the laser had dissipated, she just went back to drinking her tea and thought nothing of it... 'Hmm... I think I'm gonna need more tea after this.' ...until she heard what seems like glass cracking and chipping off along with what seems like strong gusts of wind flowing outside the house. This got her attention and she ran to her observation deck to see what was up.
"Oh my... This is terrible..." She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Lines that looked like glass cracks were forming in the skies with some shattering and falling. It may looked like the sky was falling, but she knew better than anyone what was going on; the Hakurei Border, a border that separates the Outside World from Gensokyo, was breaking apart and it would seem that it's continuing to break little by little.
"It's just like in that movie with the chickens. The sky is falling. The borderbarrier but this one has nine fox tails on her back.
"Lady Yukari, is something the matter?" the fox girl asked.
"Ran, can you go and keep watch of the barrier for me? I need to go warn Reimu and the others about it!" the woman, now known as Yukari, told her fox shinigami as she went to open up a gap that leads to the Hakurei shrine.
"The barrier? Lady Yukari, what is happening?" Ran asked worriedly. "Did something happen to the barrier?"
"Yes. Someone or something fired a laser blast so strong it broke through the barrier, and I need to go down there and see what caused it." Yukari informed her shinigami who was clearly surprised and worried. "I might be there long, so please take care of the barrier and this place while I'm gone, alright? This is a serious matter."
"Understood, Lady Yukari. We will try our best to keep things in check here." Ran said as she bowed to her master. Yukari, after bidding goodbye, jumped into the gap and it closed after she had entered it. Ran then went to look outside to see the severity of the cracks, just barely able to catch the sights of a few lightstreaks shining through the cracks into the ground below followed by a ball of fire. "This looks bad... I gotta get Chen to help me with this one."
Now, back to the Hakurei shrine...
Reimu was sitting down at her shrine's doorway wiping the sweat off of her face. She was just done sweeping the shrine grounds and was pretty happy to see it clean again.
"Phew. At least it's clean now." she said admiring her hard work. "Hopefully nothing happens today." Then, just as she had said that, streaks of light shined down from the skies followed by balls of fire falling down. Then, cracks appeared in the skies, some shattering off. "Of course I spoke too early. Goddammit!" she cursed herself as she got up. "What now? Rampaging youkai? Some unknown force from the Outside World?"
"Not precisely, Reimu." said a voice very familiar to Reimu from behind. Reimu jumped away in surprise before going to scold her.
"Geez, Yukari. Don't anyone ever tell you not to just intrude into people's places like that? Don't you ever announce your visit?" Reimu asked in annoyance.
"Aw... Now where's the fun in that?" Yukari replied with a playful tone before said tone turned to a serious one. "Anyway Reimu, what you see there is the result of someone or something trying to break through the barrier from the inside, and from the looks of it, they've managed to crack the barrier enough to let Outside World things into here." Yukari said.
"What? Someone tried to break through the barrier, and from the inside at that?" Reimu asked in disbelief. Never have she heard someone try to do that especially from within Gensokyo. "Are you making that up or are you just so bored you just invited some supernatural beings from the Outside for the heck of it?" Reimu asked again.
"I'm not lying, Reimu. Look around you! Why would I do something that would damage the barrier that I was supposed to help you keep watch of? Even if I was bored to death I would not do something that would break the barrier!" Yukari answered back. "Now I just gotta find whoever it is that fired that giant laser at the barrier, and I'm gonna have a talk with them."
"Laser you say?" Reimu asked, now curious at the mention of a laser.
"Yes, laser. It's really huge, and its power was so massive it created shockwaves around it." Yukari said. "Not only that, said laser was so strong it pretty much broke the barrier within seconds, bypassing every security measures I had placed onto the barrier itself." she added.
"Huh. Whoever it was, it must one hell of a youkai to do such a thing." While Reimu could've guessed who fired the laser, she decided not to point fingers just yet and feigned ignorance instead.
"Yeah..." Yukari watched as the meteors landed on many different parts of Gensokyo. "We're gonna need all the help we can get to stop this. I'm gonna go see the others and see if they'll take action. You can stay here and watch out on your own, can't you?"
"Of course I can. I just hope that nothing lands on this shrine, that's all." And as if on cue once more, one fireball landed on the shrine's front yard, leaving a crater in its wake. "Me and my stupid mouth..."
"...I'll just warn the others about this, so I guess I should be going now." Yukari said before quickly jumping into a gap.
"Yukari, wait! Yukari!" Reimu shook her head in disbelief as she watched Yukari leave her like that. "Why do I always have to do things alone...?" Reimu began walking to where the fireball landed seeing as the fire had died out. She can see the figure of a person in the crater, and it's not moving. 'A person? What's the meaning of this?' Reimu thought, worried about what she would find in the crater. What she found in the crater was a girl with short pink hair dressed in a blue and white summer dress with black thigh-highs, a large sword lying next to her just inches from her face. Deeming it dangerous, Reimu lifted the sword and placed it away from her before dragging the girl into her shrine. After she had done so, she took the sword and placed it near the entrance, just in case the girl needed it.
Meanwhile, at a neighboring shrine on top of a mountain, around the same time the incident at Hakurei Shrine occurred...
A green haired girl was enjoying tea at her shrine's porch. She was just about to enjoy her morning tea when she noticed the sky cracking followed by streaks of light and balls of fire. Instead of panicking, however, she seemed to be fascinated by the view.
"Woah! Meteor showers and heavenly light? That's so cool!" she exclaimed, her eyes glittering. She got up and went to see the meteor showers at closer distance. She was so busy taking in the wonderful sight(at least to her) that she didn't notice one fireball heading straight in her direction. When she realized it was coming straight at her, it was already so close and she barely dodged it, the fireball crashing just a few feet away from her leaving a crater in its wake.
"Oh no! The shrine grounds!" She then ran towards the crash site to inspect the damage. Inside it, however, she found not a meteor, but a teenage girl lying unconscious. She had long, silky purple hair and she's dressed in a sailor uniform with a purple-white color scheme. Next to her was an unknown device, but the shape of it reminded her of something she had seen before.
"Did she really just fall down from her sky? Oh my goodness..." the green haired girl said worriedly as she checked the unconscious girl's body for damages. Surprisingly she was unscathed, not even a cut or bruise. Thinking it was dangerous for her to be there, she took the unknown device and placed it inside her pocket before lifting the girl up on her back. She was just about to head back into her shrine when another meteor landed right in front of her, creating a shockwave so strong she was sent backwards a fair distance, and since she was at the edge of the mountain she fell down the mountain just barely missing the sharp edged of the shrine steps.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" she screamed as she fell down the mountain paths leading up to her shrine, hugging the unconscious girl she was carrying, doing her best to protect her. They rolled and rolled, going down the mountain before the green-haired girl felt her back bumping into a hard surface, knocking her out in the process...
"Argh! It blew up again!" Marisa cursed as her experiment with the newly found mushrooms failed yet again, causing an explosion that caused everything around her pot to be covered in ash, her included. She wiped the ash off of her and went to jot down some notes in a nearby notebook that had somehow avoided the ash. "Cubeshroom and frog = ash explosion," she wrote down. She was about to experiment some more when she was visited by her beloved neighbor.
"Marisa? What is all this? Why is everything- *cough*" The visitor, who is a girl with short blonde hair and dressed in a blue dress, could not finish her words as smoke came flying to her face when she opened the door. Marisa approached her and opened the door wider to let all the smoke out.
"Yo, Alice! What's up? I was just experimenting with these new mushrooms that I just found!" Marisa said.
"You're always experimenting with *cough* mushrooms, Marisa. When have you ever not *cough* involved mushrooms with anything you do?" the other girl, now known as Alice, said to Marisa in between coughs. "Seriously, I visit you the first thing in the morning and your house is already covered with smoke. I mean, what's up with that?"
"Yeah, well... I guess I got a little too carried away. Hehe..." Marisa said with a nervous laugh, scratching the back of her head in the process. Alice could only sigh in disbelief as she could not believe this crazy witch, whom was loved by pretty much everyone, is her neighbor and that she still stayed with her despite the risks being around her. "So Alice, why'd you come here?" Marisa asked, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Why did I come here?" Alice said with a pause. "Oh yeah. Do you see anything weird around you?" she asked as she pointed to the sky which has cracks and streaks of lights coming out of them.
Marisa woah'd in surprise when she saw the destruction happening in the sky. "What's going on here? Did something happen while I was experimenting?" Marisa asked in surprise.
"I don't know for sure, but it would seem that Gensokyo's border is falling apart." Alice said, taking a guess at what was going on.
"Gensokyo's border falling apart?" Marisa asked. "Oh come on, there's no way that would happen, right?"
"Unfortunately Marisa, that is exactly what is happening." said a voice from between them. Both girls stepped back to see Yukari's head peeking through a gap. "I gotta give you credit for guessing it right though, Alice. You seemed to know what was happening at a first glance." Yukari said, amused.
"Well, isn't it obvious? I have witnessed something like this happening when I was still living in Makai, so I just guessed that that's what is happening." Alice said.
"Things like this happened when you're in Makai?" Marisa asked, but she received no answers as Yukari brought them to the problem at hand.
"Now I don't know who or what exactly did it, but they just fired a large laser that pretty much almost broke through the barrier." Yukari said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go warn everyone about it. We're gonna need all the help that we can get to resolve this." After she had said what she needed to say, Yukari disappeared into the gap, leaving the two blondies alone.
"Giant laser, huh? I wonder who would do that." Marisa pondered.
"Who knows. Maybe this youkai really wants Gensokyo destroyed. Maybe that, or they just want to get out of Gensokyo?" Alice also pondered.
"Oh well, whoever it is that's responsible for it, they'll have a thing or two coming at them." Marisa said before she started to walk back into her home, oblivious to the fact that the laser she fired this morning was responsible for it. Alice soon followed her inside, just missing the meteor flying above their homes and landing into the large lake not far from their homes.
Meanwhile, within a dark void inside an unknown area...
"Hehehe... This world looks to be full of mana. Such large amounts too." said a rather ominous voice. "This world has more than enough mana to sustain my world. With this, Gilgulim will be reborn!" After that, he began to laugh as the scene cuts back to Gensokyo...
