And so the action finally begins. This chapter is short, so I'll try to make it as interesting as possible. Now enjoy.
Chapter 1: Terror for the Humans
Hakujima City lay under night. Then, slowly, light began to peek through the buildings as the sun rose. Soon, the entire city was covered in a dark but peaceful blue. If was now that the Gensokyo residents began to wake.
Reimu yawned and groggily tried to fall back asleep after a nightmare about leaving her precious (empty) donation box. She failed to fall asleep and watched as Nue was almost fried by a massive laser. It seemed that others were waking up across the city.
Soon, morning came on the beautiful Saturday morning. Well… not so beautiful.
Alex Strant, age 17, shut his eyes against the incoming light. The calm rays of light streamed through the window and onto his bed. A calm wind blew.
When Alex's alarm began to ring, he shut it off with a groping hand and then lifted his face from his pillow. He got up, yawning. He smiled and grinned in joy.
"It's finally break!" It was going to be a fun 9 days off from school.
He was very wrong.
'…'
Meanwhile, Nitori fired and missed Mamizou, who Nue was using as a meat shield.
'…'
Looking forward to playing lots of video games and reading lots of manga, Alex jumped off of his bed and grabbed a t-shirt on the way out. He ran downstairs, feet clattering on the hard, cold, wooden steps.
His younger sister, Lily, age 15, sat at the table, watching the news on TV. Her beautiful, long, brownish gold hair neatly covered an ugly scar from a police officer' gun when she made a mistake in a summoning spell while trying to drop a banker off of a bridge via summon.
Alex ruffled his unkempt, brown hair and sat down at the table. "Good morning, sis." He was glad that his parents were out. Of course, they would be spared the ugliness on the news.
"Look at the news!" Lily said to Alex, hurriedly. Her finger pointed directly to the shocking headline on the TV.
The cold and frighteningly supernatural line was enough.
"IDIOT ICE FAIRY ATTACKS CITY!"
Ale almost dropped his plate (with breakfast on it) onto the floor. It was his hometown after all.
Mouth agape, he stood paralyzed in fear. "We won't be going outside today…"
'…'
"EYE'M THE STRONGEST!"
Cirno flew around, blasting icicles at windows. Keine was on the ground, angry, dodging danmaku and shards of broken glass.
"Cirno! Come back!" Keine cried up at the air, her words not reaching the ice fairy.
As Cirno flew higher, the inevitable came.
"Spellcard! [Land Sign] Three Sacred Treasures: Orb!"
Cirno proceeded to use a nasty trick.
"Perfect Freeze!"
The danmaku orbs froze in midair and plummeted. As they smashed into the ground and shattered, the salarymen in the street screamed and fled. Some were hit and injured.
Keine was very pissed off.
Suddenly, Cirno swooped down, kicking Keine in the face. Instinctively, she grabbed hold of a wing. Five nearby police officers also grabbed wings. Suddenly, Cirno sensed danger and jolted upwards. In the mess, Keine held on as the five policemen fell to their deaths.
That fall, however, was not what did them in.
Cirno had flown upwards just in time to save both herself and Keine, who was screaming.
"Lavatein!"
Cirno had barely dodged. Flandre's massive flamethrower incinerated the police officers and the entire street, lighting newspapers and buildings on fire. As she swung the weapon, several buildings smashed from the heat and toppled over. The ash and smoke was amazing. They crashed, sending waves of dust across the area.
Cirno carried a not so reluctant Keine away to safety, but not before Keine had forced her to drop a massive storm of water to prevent the dust from entering the atmosphere. As it froze, she was glad that they had made it in time.
'…'
Flan sat among the new ice, open mouthed as her destruction was outdone by the fairy.
Keine was smart, but she wasn't Koishi. Immediately, Flan grabbed a bunch of spellcards from her pocket and prepared to wreck the area.
'…'
In the comfort of their own home, Alex and Lily were mortified as the screen blacked out as the field reporter screamed. When the signal returned, the newscaster was sweating. "A…and… th..that's our… news for….to…day…"
She fainted on screen.
The Touhou Battle Royale had begun.
So how did you all like the chapter? If you want to recommend something, please don't hesitate to say something. Same goes for if it's crappy.
Anyways, look forward to the next chapter!
