Black Star was looking around the grave with his weapon partner, Tsubaki, in his hands. Tsubaki had changed into her chain scythe mode in case they found who they were looking for. "There is a person that has appeared in the graveyard near Stein's home. I want you to find the person and if they fight, do not resist. This person could indeed have a very strong soul." Was what Black Star had remembered the Grim Reaper telling him. When Black Star was still looking, he saw someone lying on the ground unconscious. He then said softly, "Hey Tsubaki, do you see that person?" Tsubaki then responded saying to him, "Yeah. Although, she seems a little strange doesn't she?" Black Star then got closer and expected the girl on the ground. He was able to see the front of her clothing since she was laying on her back, able to the see the white apron and other curious articles of clothing on her.
Marisa regained consciousness then, opening her eyes slowly and she groaned softly, rubbing her head with one hand. She then muttered softly, "What the? What happened to me ze? Oh yeah, that's right! That idiot fairy knocked me unconscious!" Marisa then sat up quickly and her eyes wide open with anger showing in them. This surprised Black Star, as he jumped back a little surprised and Tsubaki changed back to her human form looking at Marisa. "What the heck? Where am I? Am I in the Myouren Temple graveyard again?" Tsubaki then looked at Marisa, as Black Star was just puzzled at the strange new girl before him. Tsubaki then said calmly and kindly, "Uh, no you're not. You're in a different graveyard than one you probably think." This reply caused Marisa to look at them both strangely, and Black Star then grinned proudly and stated, "My name is Black Star! The one who surpasses the gods! And this is my weapon partner Tsubaki!" Tsubaki then smiled and gave a little wave to Marisa, trying to remain calm and friendly. Marisa then looked at Black Star, and giggled. "Power to surpass the gods huh? That's not much compared to someone who can send the gods home crying ze!" Marisa then grabbed her hat from under her, where it had ended up when she fell, and put it on and said just as proudly, "I'm Marisa Kirisame ze! The strongest witch in all of Gensokyo!" This earned a strange look from Tsubaki, but then a startled look from Black Star, to which he replied then, "You're a witch? Come on Tsubaki! We've got to make sure this witch regrets ever coming to this world! A big star like me can't let a soul like a witch's get away!" Tsubaki then still confused started to worriedly say to Black Star, "Now hold on Black Star! Perhaps we shouldn't attack her! She knows nothing of this world!"
Marisa had observed all of this happening in front of her, and then a grin came onto her face as she held out her left hand, her broom flying to her hand from behind a tombstone. She then said to them both, "You want to fight huh? No one is a bigger star than I am ze! And considering how I use the power of actual stars I'm sure you'll be nothing kid!" Black Star then angrily looked at Marisa, and opened his hands, saying then, "Tsubaki, chain scythe mode. Let's teach this witch a lesson on which the stronger person is here!" Tsubaki then understood the situation, and sighed replying with her usual, "Alright" knowing debating with Black Star now would get her nowhere. She changed into her chain scythe mode, Black Star grasping the handles of the two small scythes firmly. Marisa then looked a little surprised then affirmed her stance, saying to Black Star, "So, that girl can change into a scythe huh? That's very interesting! Let's see how you both deal with me then ze!" Marisa then in her other hand grasped her mini-hakkero and held it firmly, pointing it at and Black Star, waiting for who would make the first strike.
Then, the battle started suddenly! Marisa started to fire off sprays of bulky yellow bullets all over, them taking on a few different curving patterns headed towards the area close to Black Star. This earned a surprised and stunned look, the sheer amount of projectiles Marisa started off with making him stunned alone, but he decided to dodge as best he could. Marisa saw how he was dodging, see the bullets skimming him and making a few scratches already, she then shouted out as the bullets then continued raining down at him, "You're going to have to do better than that to stand a chance kid!" Marisa then did something Black Star didn't expect, she floated off the ground, broom in one hand, mini-hakkero in the other and still firing the bullets. "Tsubaki, speed star mode let's go!" The chain scythes in his hands then changed into a single small wakizashi in his right hand, and he started to speed quickly around the bullets. His speed impressed Marisa, but she then grinned and pointed her mini-hakkero where Black Star was dodging. "Not bad kid, but let's see how you deal with this! Master Spark!" Her mini-hakkero then glowed and hummed softly, before shooting a very large, multi-colored laser down to where Black Star was. The amount of area the laser covered was enormous, and Black Star managed to dodge it barely, with his left arm getting caught in the force of it, a large scorch showing along the side of his arm. This forced him to stop running, and the burn mark started to bleed as well, blood slowly crawling its way down his left arm. Marisa finished using her favorite technique and the effects of it stunned Black Star. Marisa's Master Spark technique had made a hole nearly a mile deep in the area where it hit. "What amazing power. This girl is no pushover." Was what Black Star thought, but then he said calmly, "Tsubaki, enchanted sword mode." The weapon in his right hand changed then into a long katana of black steel, and black marks had appeared along Black Star's face. Tsubaki, the concerned from how powerful Marisa was being right now, then said a little worriedly, "Black Star, you should be careful. This girl seems extremely powerful. But it's strange, she doesn't seem to be using magic a witch normally would, so far it's…just extremely destructive!" Black Star then didn't respond and then jumped right toward Marisa and slashed at her, the impressive and sudden speed and power making an impact, cutting Marisa on the shoulder and made her gasp in pain. She then quickly dashed back and stated a little angrily, "You actually made a cut on me. Good job ze, but I'm afraid that this battle will have to come to a close now ze!" She then emitted a little bit of a strange magic light, then it releasing and changing the whole light of the area into a more of a purple color, then shouting out, "Shooting Star 'Super Perseid'!" Suddenly in an instant, when Black Star landed on the ground, large gray orbs of magic started to rain down towards the ground, trailing lasers behind them. They came so fast, Black Star had barely any time to dodge them. He dodged one after the other, but then he noticed something, there were hundreds of small stars trailing and moving along the ground. Tsubaki was very concerned by this, and shouted to Black Star, "Watch out! Those things don't look like they'll be good if you touch them!" Black Star then nodded and started to jump along the ground, avoiding the small, magic filled stars and watching out for the falling balls of magic as well.
When he got up close to Marisa after jumping high, he thought his victory was secured. He took aim at Marisa's head with his sword, but right then, as part of Marisa's danmaku, a perseid came down as the next in line right in front of Marisa. This particular one managed to land a hit directly into Black Star, sending him crashing to the ground and collapsing unconsciously. Marisa ended the danmaku, seeing she won the fight, and Tsubaki transformed back to her human form, looking at Black Star worriedly and held him in her arms like a child. Marisa then smiled and flew back down to the ground, landing and feeling her wound start to hurt more, blood trickling from her shoulder down her back, cut made deeper than she initially thought. Tsubaki then stood up looking at Marisa, and Marisa triumphantly said, "Who's the bigger star now ze? I think I am! Now let's get that friend of yours patched up. My orreries suns can pack a punch I know, but that doesn't mean he'll die by it. So, where will we need to go to get your friend healed up? I can fly you both there ze." Tsubaki was then confused by this offer of Marisa's, making Black Star unconscious and then offering to help made no sense. But she nodded and pointed in the direction of the academy, the large candles of the DWMA showing faintly. Tsubaki then said calmly, "Over there. There should be someone there that can help Black Star get better." Marisa then nodded and got on her broom, flying off the ground a bit on it and then taking Tsubaki by the hand, hoisting her and the unconscious Black Star up onto her broom and then flying towards the direction of the academy. "So, tell me, how were you able to change into a weapon back there ze?" Tsubaki then looked calmly to Marisa and said, "Well, you see, it would probably take a while to explain…"
