Author's Note: Well, nothing much to say considering the summary pretty much summed this up, well it was sort of half inspired by Game2002's Touhou: Journey to the Smashing Beyond, but I'm pretty sure you would spot the differences if you read that.
Chapter 1: The Strange Island
"Were going down in Patchouli's Library for this!" Marisa yelled as she flew in some some sort of makeshift plane with two people over a sea. "I'm just glad that this thing actually could fly!" An excited kappa said. "Marisa, remind me why I agreed to this...I could be home studying!" A pupeteer yelled.
"Calm down Alice, were flying over the legendary Kirisame Sea, ze!" Marisa happily said. "It's not called the Kirisame Sea. It could be called the Kawashiro Sea or the Margatroid Sea." The kappa said. "Actually Nitori, it should be called the great Kawasametroid sea, ze." The pupeteer stared at Marisa in confusion. "What does that have to do with our last names?" Alice asked bewildered. "I just combined all the last names together, ze." The witch smiled a huge grin. "Whatever, I think it might take a while before we end up back in the Forest of Magic, so I'm going to take a nap." Alice said. "But we are going to be circling the whole wide world!" Marisa said. "Yeah, maybe we'll even find new land!" Nitori exclaimed. "Tell me when you find it then." And with that, the tired Alice went to sleep.
Hours later, the sun could be seen setting bemeath the clouds. The driver of the plane was starting to fall asleep, like how the two passengers were already asleep. Suprisingly then, Alice stretched out her hands and asked, "Are we there yet?" Nitori looked at her for a brief second. "No, we still might be flying for a whole other day. I think you should drive now." Nitori yawned. "Look! I see an island!" A doll suddenly started thrusting it's lance in the direction of a island. Alice's yell must of shocked Marisa, as she almost fell off the plane and into the sea. "What's up with the yelling, ze!" Marisa said sleepingly. "We found an island!" Alice smiled. Marisa seemed to jolt awake, "What? Seriously?" She asked. "Er guys, I think we should avoid that island." Nitori said.
The trio now noticed the strong black mist covering the island. They satred at it. "I think we should tell Reimu about this..." The kappa nervously said. "Why? I'm an incident solver, too!" Marisa said proudly. "Nitori's right, we don't know what might be on that island." Alice pointed out. "Yeah, the more help we can get when we go there, the better!" Nitori grinned. "Well, let's back to Gensokyo, we'll be there in half a day, because I just remembered about my turbo boosters." The kappa was still grinning, altough now she was grinning ear to ear as her finger went near a big red button. "No! Red buttons are bad, ze!" Marisa yelled, but the kappa had already pressed the button, and now the plane went 5 tims as fast while our pupeteer was holding on tightly and and our witch was enjoying this.
~The Next Day~
The Hakurei Shrine Maiden drowsily got out of bed, only to be greeted by someone pratically breaking down her down. "Rise and shine!" Marisa yelled as Reimu cast her a glare. "You got an incident to solve, ze!" The black-white shouted. Reimu groaned as she had just finished an incident and she was hoping for some rest.
"Alice discovered this strange island while we were flying around the world." Marisa started to explain. "It was covered in black mist and looked evil so they told me to go ask you to fly with us today." "Wait you were flying for one day and a half?" Reimu asked, confused. "None of use have the energy to fly for that long!" Marisa grinned. "Well, Nitori invented some sort of flying machine that we didn't have to waste energy to use, ze." "Well, I guess we should get going." Reimu tiredly said. "No, we should get more people to help us, Alice said the more help we get, the better." Marisa told Reimu. "Whatever, I'll go fetch the maid." R eimu slowly walked out over the door, and started to fly to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
"You'll get loads of news!" Nitori told Aya. "And all I have to do is investigate an island, right?" Nitori nodded. "Well, I am lacking news...count me in!" Nitori seemed a little surprised, she hadn't expected Aya to reply so quickly, she thought she might have to tell Reimu of the "interesting" photos that she took of her. "So, we'll probably leave in about a month, okay?" "Sure." Aya smiled. "I'll go get some stuff to use on this trip." She rushed off in a blur, and Nitori grinned and said, "Well, that's one down!" She went back to her house to continue building her big plane.
"So I have another request besides the usual medicine resquest." Alice said as she stood in the front of Reisen, who was delivering her medicine. "What is it?" Reisen asked. "I want you to accompany me on a trip." Reisen looked surprised by this request. One half of her looked happy, while the other half looked a little worried. "But, I can't go without Master's permission..." She sadly said. Suddenly, the moon bunny perked up and said, "Oh yeah! Master has a few medicines she wanted me to give you, she said I have to stay and watch the results, so I can come with you!" Alice smiled, now they had someone to journey with them on their trip, Nitori would be glad.
"State your business here!" Meiling said. "I'm obviously not here to steal the books if I'm entering from the front, ze." Marisa replied Meiling looked confused, "Then what do you and the shrine maiden want?" She asked. "We want to talk to Sakuya about something." Reimu mumbled. "Well, I guess I can let you through..." Meiling opened the gates, and the duo walked inside the mansion. After a little searching and asking some fairy maids, they found Sakuya cleaning the area near Remilia's room.
Marisa walked up to Sakuya and asked, "Sakuya, can you come with us to this island?" Marisa asked, not knowing Remilia had just woken up and was listening in on them. "I need permission from my Mistress." Sakuya simply replied. "But it looks evil, and Alice says we need all the help we can get, ze." Marisa argued. "Why does it look evil?" "It's covered in black mist." The witch answered. "Yeah, I doubt any sun gets through that mist." Remilia was intrested by this, a plan formulated in her mind. She would go and scout this island with them, and find a good place for her mansion. Then she would convince Yukari to gap her mansion to the spot on the island, and because there was no sun there, she would be able to go wherever she wanted, when she wanted. Remilia bursted out of her room.
"Sakuya, you can watch the mansion, I will accompany these two." Sakuya looked surprised. "Mistress, why are you going to this island." Remilia only smiled at her. "You do not need to know. As I was saying, please let me journey with you to this island." Marisa and Reimu sent each other a wary glance. They knew the vampire mistress wanted to tag along with them for a reason, but was it a good reason. In the end, they decided to let her come. Remilia joined them and said she had to tell Meiling something. Sakuya gave Remilia her parasol, and she walked out of the mansion.
Hong Meiling was standing at the gate, starting to get sleepy, when someone tapped on her shoulder. Had the witch and the maiden done something bad? Was she going to get punished by Sakuya for letting them in. Miliions of thoughts following that rised in her mind. But when ahe turned around, she was surprised to see her mistress. "Meiling, you want to train a little, don't you?" Remilia smiled at her under the protection of her parasol. "Yes, Mistress, I do." She replied. "Well, how would you like to come on a little journey to train you?" Meiling immediately nodded her head. "Excellent, I'll tell you when we depart." She told Reimu and Marisa about Meiling, and they left over the lake, chatting about their journey, but unknown to them, a mischevious ice fairy was spying on them.
"So they are going on some sort of adventure to an unknown island, this will be the perfect chance to prove that I'm the strongest!" Cirno imagined herself beating up silly youkai and fairies on this mysterious island. She would follow them to Nitori's house, and then sneak on to the plane. Then, they would get to the island, and when they got in trouble, she would save them. Another image of them all thanking her formed in Cirno's mind, and that was why there was a stowaway on the plane.
"So Sanae, this is the perfect youkai hunting chance." The tengu reporter told the blue and white shrine maiden. "Well, Kanako said she did want me to go Youkai hunting soon, so this is a good oppurtunity." Sanae said. "And if I get hurt, there will be a whole lot of people there, right?" "Yeah." Aya told her. "I guess I can go then." Sanae smiled. And now there was two shrine maidens on board.
A week had passed since these events. They thought they knew everybody who was going on board, when Youmu joined. It happened on Sunday, Reimu was cleaning up the shrine when Yuyuko and Youmu arrived. They said they were there for a little visit, and Reimu let them come in. Yuyuko must have seen the paper with the information about the trip to the island because she asked what this trip was all about. Reimu told them, hoping to get another person to join this grand trip. Yuyuko asked Youmu if she wanted a break, and Youmu replied, "N-No, My Mistress." Yuyuko could tell she was lying, so she told Reimu that she would be joining their trip. After they left, Reimu told the others the next day about their new traveler, and they all prepared for the trip coming ahead.
