A/N: Hello! Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream has started, this game will only be one short chapter of this game. Yeah, so, this chapter is far off the game storyline, it's not fun to totally copy the plot anyway, have some fun with it and mix it up a little. Enjoy this action packed chapter with a surprising dark and sad ending.
A couple of peaceful months passed in Gensokyo, Reimu was on the porch with Shingyoku and Genjii until her recent visitors started coming everyday, Mima and Marisa. Marisa had a knew look, she no longer had red hair and eyes or a purple outfit, her hair was now wavy and gold just like the color of her eyes, her witch clothes were now black and now she always carried a broom. They wasted through the days talking about anything while drinking tea, the sky was twilight and it was the usual time for the two witches to head back home until something crashed in front of the shrine. The Story of Eastern Wonderland met it's end, Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream now begins...
"What was that crash Mima-Sama?"
"Stop asking me things that just happened."
"Ugh...I hope it's not another incident, I hate dealing with them."
"It is your job...Reimu."
"Shut it, Gramps, you and Shingyoku get inside." The three helpless characters sighed and dragged themselves inside with the tea while the three characters that could fight went to check out the scene, they saw some sort of large object in front of them, Reimu and Marisa had no idea what it was.
"Mima-Sama, what is that?"
"This is one of them space vessels I seen before, I wonder how it ended up here."
"A space vessel?"
"Duh, Reimu, listen to Mima-Sama, she is the smartest!"
"Yeah, yeah... Anyway, how does it open?" Reimu's question got answered with the door slowly coming down like a ramp, some girls were standing at the entrance with a blinding light coming from behind them, they walked down and got into a line. Marisa thought it would be funny to play along and acted like a commander as she stood in front of the line of new girls.
"State your names, soldiers!" The girls said their names from left to right.
"Rikako!"
"Kana Anaberal!"
"Ellen!"
"Princess Kotohime!"
"State your business here, ze!" All of the girls answered together.
"We are here to take over the Hakurei Shrine for our new base, orders from Yumemi Ichigo Okazaki! We will use force if necessary!"
"Well too bad, this is my shrine and no one is going to use it as some stupid base!" Reimu protested holding up her gohei.
"I don't really mind if you take it or not, but I haven't had some fun in a while." Mima summoned her staff and gave a sly smirk.
"I guess we have to do this the hard way.." Kotohime smiled. "I'll place you all under arrest for I am an officer of the law!"
"Ha, there are no rules in Gensokyo, ze!" The four girls flew in the air and started shooting danmaku at the heroines.
"You two go inside that thing, I'll take down these four idiots." Mima said confidently.
"You can't handle them all by yourself-" Reimu got cut off by the spirit.
"Watch who you're talking to, now go on, this is my fun!" Reimu and Marisa went past the battle dodging danmaku along the way until the got inside the vessel.
"How foolish are you to take us alone by yourself?" Ellen giggled.
"How foolish are you to take me on with only four people? ~" Mima mocked.
"I'll show you the power of science and technology!" Rikako bragged.
"I'll show you the power of black magic. ~" Mima mocked again as the four soldiers charged at her, the spirit swung her staff in a horizontal motion.
Spellcard! Dark Sign: Piercing Wide Wave!
A wide blue wave went across the area and hit Kotohime, Ellen, and Rikako, Kana was the only one to avoid it while still going towards Mima.
Spellcard! Anti Sign: Anti-Spirit Laser!
A tiny and fast, but powerful laser came from Mima's staff and hit Kana, it was super effective since she was a poltergeist. The four soldiers couldn't believe they were losing to Mima on a four against one battle, they clearly didn't know what the ghost was capable of. They were strong, just not against the new enemy before them, the team wasn't going to lose at a one against four match, they huddled around each other.
"We have to use teamwork, we can't just charge into a new enemy not knowing what she can do." Kana said positively.
"Let's just go all out!" Rikako shouted.
"We are not going full power right from the start..." Kana sighed.
"Let's just use some team attacks." Ellen suggested. They turned to Mima to use their strategy.
Spellcard! Energy Sign: Screeching Noises!
Kana put out her hands and released all kinds of disturbing noises, Mima put her hands over her ears to try and block it out as Ellen used her attack.
Spellcard! Love Sign: Lovestruck Shot!
A glowing pink arrow appeared in front of Ellen as she grabbed it and chucked it towards Mima who was left defenseless, Ellen's arrow shot down Mima to the ground. Rikako quickly dashed towards the shot down ghost and brought out a small device, she jabbed it into Mima and shocked her as Rikako laughed like the mad scientist she is, the four girls stood proud and cheered as they thought they won the battle. Mima got back up slowly on her ghost legs and laughed.
"W-What the?" Ellen seemed surprised.
"She's laughing?" Kana said shockingly.
"You girls fail.." Kotohime sighed.
"Is that all you got!" Mima kept laughing.
"Never underestimate the power of scie-.." Mima shot off all of Rikako's devices and tech gadgets, she was useless now.
"That's what I think about your dumb technology. ~"
"It's time to get serious girls!" Kana ordered.
"I had enough of this boring fight!"
Spellcard! Mima Sign: Mima's Solar System!
Five black orbs summoned around Mima as she circled around the four girls while the orbs kept shooting quickly at them, they tried to dodge but the pace of lasers were too fast for them, Kotohime was just standing there smiling as she put up her Invincible Shield, the other three were on the tired and in torn clothes as they lay on the floor groaning.
"No fair..." Ellen complained. Mima flew in front of Kotohime and touched her 'invincible' shield as it shattered into nothing as swung her staff into her stomach and slammed her into the ground, Mima kept beating them with her staff for the past couple minutes until she drew blood out of them.
"Eh, this was boring, I'm tired now.." Mima brushed off herself and fixed her clothes, she was about to head inside the vessel a laser shot by Mima, quickly turning around to see who shot it she saw Kana, Kotohime, and Ellen back up again, they all had an aura around them.
"Poltergeist Mode!" Kana raised herself in the air.
"Psychic Doll Mode!" Ellen smiled as her cat, Sokrates, appeared on her shoulder.
"Maniacal Princess Mode!" Kotohime shouted, Mima grinned and got her staff ready.
"EX-Modes now? Come at me then.." Kana appeared behind Mima and held onto her.
Last Word: Circle of Souls!
Mima ended up in a dark place with Kana above her, Mima soon saw the tortured souls and bodies of the dead as they started to emerge from the ground, lifeless zombies and ghouls crowded around the evil spirit, Mima realized her staff was gone as she seen Kana holding it while giggling. All of the living dead started to pile on Mima, biting her, clawing her, scratching her, abusing her.
"Get away!" The illusion was over as Mima snapped out of the trick that was pulled on her, she was sweating with the fear she just saw, this was Ellen's chance.
Last Word: Slashing Hearts!
Hundreds of hearts were summoned around Ellen that has sharp bladed edges around them, the flew towards Mima like spinning discs as they slashed away at her clothes and body, leaving heavy scars. Kotohime was about to use her Last Word until the ground started shaking.
"If that's how you want to go down..." Mima grew her six raven-like wings as she glared at them. "I'll play that game!" Mima flashed in the middle of all the girls.
Spellcard! Phantom Sign: Wild Phantom Spirit Dance!
Many clones of Mima appeared as they all pointed their staff in front of them and started spinning while a huge laser was shooting out of hit, the attack was impossible to dodge since they were surrounded.
Spellcard! Evil Sign: Evil Field of Hell!
They ended up in Reimaden while the phantom dance was still going on, soon lightning strikes and black balls of pure darkness came down hitting everything they could, after the team was defeated Mima cancelled everything as they ended up back at the shrine, her wings disappeared. Mima stacked the defeated girls on her staff and went towards the vessel. Inside Reimu and Marisa were talking with the leader, Yumemi and her assistant, Chiyuri.
"Go home and leave the shrine alone or face a terrible beat down!" Reimu warned.
"Your puny insult do not frighten me, Chiyuri fight them."
"Me? Against two of them, aren't you going to help me..?"
"Why would I help? Now go!"
"But, Yume-"
"I said fight or else I'll fire you!"
"Oooo..." Chiyuri sluggishly stepped forward and got into a battle stance that wasn't very battle looking.
"Fine...but this time only!" Yumemi went by Chiyuri's side, bringing her spirits up.
"I can handle this alone, Marisa, you sit this out." Reimu said.
"What? No way, you'll get pummeled!"
"Just leave it to me."
"Aren't we a team?"
"I don't need a team, I would normally work alone." Reimu engaged the battle rushing to the enemy team.
"Time Cutter!" Chiyuri waved her hand as a slice of energy came from her at a very slow motion pace, Reimu laughed as it suddenly went fast like lightning and cut her arm.
"Hey! What just happened?"
"Wall of Water!" Chiyuri made a wall of water with Reimu inside, she couldn't move of breathe at all. "Now, Yumemi!"
"Dream Bomb.." Yumemi threw a bomb that was a strawberry into the water wall and it exploded as Yumemi comboed it into another spellcard.
"Omni Directional Bullets!" As the first bomb exploded, two bombs came out and exploded, then three out of the two bombs, four out of the three bombs, they just kept multiplying, Reimu couldn't avoid any of them.
"Strawberry Cross!" Yumemi summoned a huge pink cross as she pushed it towards Reimu hitting her directly, she screamed as she got pushed into the wall by the cross.
"That...hurt..."
"I told ya so, ze."
"Fine...you take over then..ow"
"Alright, it's my turn now, let's get this party started!" Marisa got on her broom and got into the air as she started shooting random lasers everywhere, from both of her index fingers, Yumemi was avoiding all of them, Chiyuri was getting hit by some of them, even the fake ones that she thought were real were hurting her, Yumemi figured out that some were fake by the way Marisa used her finger pattern, she would always use the left hand first to make an illusion of a laser to make you avoid that one, then Marisa would quickly use her right hard to make the real laser hit you so you would have no time to dodge, very clever. Marisa went ahead and activated her solar system spell while shooting random lasers everywhere, Chiyuri was worn out and backed from the fight, Reimu recovered a bit and charged up a Hakurei orb until it was at maximum power and shot it at Yumemi's back as she slammed into the other wall.
"Yumemi-Sama!" Chiyuri rushed to her boss and helped her up, but she pushed her assistant off and yelled at her.
"How dare you abandon me in a fight, I wentto help you and you bail on me!"
"I'm sorry, I'll accept any punishment later but let me heal you first!"
"No, let's go all out of them, you hold off the witch, it's the shrine maiden we need to defeat."
"Sailor of Time Mode!" Chiyuri called out.
"Fantasy Legend Mode..." Yumemi said to herself as she charged to Reimu and tackled her into the wall against holding her neck.
"I will take that shrine..!"
"Reimu!" Marisa flew to Reimu quickly as she went to help.
"I don't think so!" Chiyuri snapped her fingers as Marisa just froze in time.
"I will not take this anymore! Hakurei God Mode!" Reimu glowed as she pushed Yumemi back with her energy, Chiyuri giggled.
"I always wanted to try this to see if it would work. Last Word! Dream Clock!" A clock summoned around Reimu as it started to turn back time before she went into EX-Mode, the bright glow around Reimu faded as she felt weak again, the clock was gone now.
"No..!"
"Impressive, Chiyuri."
"I been practicing for it to do that, now you can't go into EX-Mode again! Hahahaha!"
"What a waste..." Yumemi and Chiyuri started hitting and beating Reimu down now she was weak and frail, blood trickled from her mouth, slamming her into everything.
"Surrender, Reimu Hakurei!" Yumemi order.
"Over...my..dead body!" Marisa felt an anger inside of her, not burning fire, but an evil darkness which caused her to break free of Chiyuri's Frozen Time spell, she crashed down onto her feet on the ground.
"Let Reimu go..." Marisa said in a dark voice that even surprised Reimu.
"Handle her Chiyuri." The sailor followed her order and ran towrds Marisa about to punch her, but she was stopped by Marisa's hand as she grabbed Chiyuri's wrist, twisting it.
"L-Let go, that hurts! She's going to break my wrist, Yumemi-Sama!"
"Let her go...I said!" Marisa demanded in a more evil voice, Yumemi dropped Reimu and rushed to her assistant as Marisa swung her broom at her face knocking her to the floor, she twisted Chiyuri's hand who screamed in pain and kicked her to the floor. Marisa had a darkness around her, she started to grow two huge, black wings with red jewels on the left wing and blue on the right, her broom turned into a black rod as her eyes and her turned pitch black.
(Is...this Marisa's EX-Mode? What did Mima teach her..?) Reimu thought as the enemies got up, Chiyuri was holding her wrist as that cancelled out her EX-Mode. The bottom of Marisa's rod hit the floor which made clones of herself, they all aimed their rods at Yumemi and shot black lasers at her, the clones came back as Marisa charged up her final attack.
"LAST WORD! DEATH LASER!" Marisa shouted as a huge laser of darkness obliterated Yumemi into nothingness, Chiyuri cried falling to her knees at the sight before her, Mima came in after she finished her fight and threw the soldiers aside and saw the injured Reimu, the crying Chiyuri, some pink hair where Yumemi was standing, and the evil Marisa, Mima rushed to Marisa first and hugged her as she went back to normal, her color, the wings, and the rod went back into a broom, not rememebering what happened.
"Mima-Sama..what happened?"
"I wish I knew.." She turned to the crying sailor. "What happened here?" Just then, the alarm went off, Marisa's last laser hit the control panel and the place was about to explode into a rift of time.
"You all have to leave unless you waant to be stuck in time forever." Mima grabbed the two kids and fled the vessel, the three got away at a safe distance and saw a portal open as it sucked the space vessel inside, gone forever.
Yumemi Okazaki...I'm glad I met you, I'm happy I worked for you. I miss you already, it's hard to believe you just died like that... I never got the chance to say I love you... Don't you worry, I'll take over the team until I meet you again...in the afterlife...
~Chiyuri's Last Words
A/W: Did you enjoy it? If you did I'm glad, half way done with the next chapter. Poor Chiyuri...and Yumemi. Alls well that ends well?

Me: Welcome all, for our hostesses we have Marisa and Mima.
Mima: Why do I have to be a host...anyway, we have some questions that must be answered...so here we go, Marisa!
Marisa: To Azure Xuchilbara: About the loose ending, if you mean the part where Mima suddenly saw the kids and Misaki, that was all in her head, Misaki stopped the moment and put some sense in Mima. For Rika and what I just did to Yumemi... All in good time, ze!
Mima: And for PeachDaisyAmy77: Yes, it is wonderful that I can feel like a mother, and about getting Reimu...you never know things may change. What Marisa said, "All in good time!" ~
