The first group of raptors flew out of a black portal, landing in front of a small shop in the forest. The looked around the small building: it had no special features to speak of. It was an ordinary house in the middle of a large forest.

"Hey." A raptor inquired to another raptor skeptically. "Is this really the place we have to invade? I mean…" He trailed off. "It looks too normal, with no sign of resistance."

"Listen," the raptor that was inquired to replied. "Do you really want another Ice-Cream truck incident?"

Another raptor behind gulped. He remembered the time an entire attack team was wiped out brutally because they refused to attack an innocent ice-cream truck, which was actually a well-placed bomb. He could never forget that incident, seeing as he lost his brother to it.

"Well now," a soothing voice was heard. "Do I have customers?"

The 10 raptors went on full alert, immediately unsheathing their claws and turning on the person who made that inquiry. He had short white hair and was wearing glasses and a blue robe with a red box pouch in front. He walked calmly towards the group, bordering no harmful intention. He looked human, but the raptors did not give any chances.

"Quiet, human." One of the raptors sneered. "Is this a shop? Then you won't mind if we took everything from it, now would you, seeing as if you won't live long enough to mourn over them." The other raptors laughed.

The man closed his eyes. "My name is Rinnosuke." He introduced himself. "Plus, you're making a huge mistake to steal from here. I won't let you out of this shop alive if you did." He said, smiling towards the raptor.

The raptor reared back, unnerved by his reply. He immediately sensed an unknown power coming off the man in waves. The raptor decided to take the first hit, lunging forward with claws outstretched. Rinnosuke stepped sideways, dodging the unprecedented attack.

"I think…" Rinnosuke muttered. "It's time to show my power to protect Gensokyo…"

Rinnosuke took of the top of his robe. He curled his hands into fists and flexed, his shoulders hunched.

"GRRRAAAAAHHH!"

With that cry, Rinnosuke's body expanded twice his size with muscle, revealing a ten-pack and an ominous purple aura around him. Flexing, he lunged towards the raptor that attacked him with his fist, slamming him to the ground. The raptor bounced, and Rinnosuke slammed a palm into the raptor's chest, making him not fly backward, but explode into tiny, gory pieces. The other 9 raptors stood back in horror as their most aggressive comrade was taken down easily by this hulking mass of muscle. Rinnosuke pulled out a spellcard from underneath his robes.

"Manly 'World Shaking Military Rule'!" He declared.

His aura exploded, infusing him with more power than he had ever before. The remaining raptors realized that their chances of beating this monstrosity were dwindling the more he stayed alive, so they came to a conclusion that they had to take them out together. However, before this thought registered in everyone's minds, Rinnosuke was already in front of one of the raptors, giving a blow to the stomach, making the raptor implode inside out, showing the area with blood. Rinnosuke decided to not waste anymore time, and pulled out another spellcard.

"Man Sign 'Power Flex'!"

Rinnosuke flexed his buff body, making the magic in the air explode under his power. The raptors gulped as their bodies were quickly torn apart by the magic power, leaving Rinnosuke in a bloody crater in the ground. He had reverted back to his normal form, and put the top of his robe back on. Looking at his shop, he found that it was covered in raptor bits and blood.

"Darn." Rinnosuke cursed under his breath. "I just cleaned the shop today…"

Two raptor teams crept up against the wall of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Signaling each other, the entire group entered the mansion, kicking the door open. One the raptors stepped on a magic circle, causing him to burn to ashes. The leader raptor held his team back with one hand.

"Stop! Travel by air, this place is booby-trapped on the ground!"

"Thank you, Captain Obvious." A skeptical raptor remarked.

"Don't mention it, Lieutenant Sarcasm." The leader raptor retorted bitterly.

19 pairs of wings fluttered low over the floor, they then stopped as they confronted 6 people in the throne room. A vampire sat on the throne, a maid on the left, a Chinese girl on the right, a girl in a nightgown at the back and another vampire sitting on the floor.

"We will give you only one warning." The leader raptor warned. "Get out now, or this place will be filled with your blood."

Remilia shook her head. She quickly got off her chair.

"Then let the battle begin!" The leader raptor sneered.

The raptors scattered, and the Scarlet team flew up into the air, ready to take them on in this aerial battlefield. Remilia clawed a raptor in the face, but he merely cringed, punching Remilia in the chest. His attack was stopped as Sakuya suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing his fist. She thrust a knife into the raptor's chest, making him fall out of the sky and land on the floor, exploding in a shower of sparks as he triggered one of Patchouli's traps.

"Sun Sign 'Royal Flare'!"

BOOM. Patchouli burned 5 raptors to a crisp, only to get hit in the back by another raptor, making her go unconscious. Meiling extracted revenge by punching the raptor in the face, making him fly high into the air. Two raptors caught him the air, stabilizing him. He wiped the blood off his mouth, and charged towards Meiling.

"WHEEEEEE!"

Flandre dive-bombed the incoming raptor, making him slam into the ground into bits and pieces. She landed next to Remilia, who gave each other a nod. They both held onto a single spellcard, which shone in the battle.

"Kinship 'Scarlet Execution'!"

The 'X' the sisters produced bisected 7 raptors in the sky, while Sakuya herself threw her knife at one, catching him in the head. There were only 4 raptors remaining, including one leader raptor. Meiling quickly took out one with her Red Cannon Fist technique, making him land neatly onto the floor with a magic circle, the lazer completely obliterating him. Remilia threw Gungir, catching one right in the chest, creating a large gaping hole. Flandre punched a raptor in the stomach, making his insides come out his mouth. The Scarlet team, minus Patchouli, who was busy doing a face-plant on the floor, walked up to the leader raptor.

"Let's get one thing straight." Remilia said softly. "Get out now, or this place will be filled with your blood."

The leader raptor realized he had nothing to lose. Attaching a shield to his arm and wielding a large blade, getting ready for his last stand.

"You bore me." Remilia said dismissively. Cue Flandre stabbing the leader raptor with Lævatein, killing him instantly creating a bloody bodily mass on the floor.

WHAM!

Cirno looked around in the midst of the battlefield, seeing Wriggle kick a raptor square in the face. The raptors had attacked them so suddenly, but they were doing all right. Several raptors were blinded by Mystia's song, with Daiyousei pounding them with an endless barrage of danmaku, Rumia kept the enemies at bay with her darkness barrier and Mioku was zipping around the remaining raptors, keeping them stunned with her own danmaku. There were a total of ten, nine now that Wriggle just knocked one out with her kick.

"Ice Sign 'Icicle Fall –CRUSHER-'!"

2 raptors were immediately stabbed repeatedly with icicles, rendering them unconscious. One was smart enough to work out the pattern, and stood right in front of Cirno. Cirno smiled. She didn't add that last attachment to her spellcard for nothing. The raptor gulped as he realized that Cirno was readying a large glacier-mallet in her hands, which slammed down upon him quickly, reducing him to a gaudy patch in the grass. Mioku zoomed over to her, and touched her forehead lightly. She conjured up a large icicle, which she sent flying to an air-borne raptor, piercing his stomach and making him drop out of the sky into the ice-cold lake below.

"Night Sign 'Night Bird'!"

Rumia declared her spellcard, and sent lines of danmaku at the opponent, knocking out up to 4 raptors. Mystia dive-bombed one into the lake, while Mioku and Cirno held one spellcard together.

"Mimic Ice 'Twin Ice Crusher'!" They both said in unison.

Both Cirno and Mioku slammed a glacier-mallet of epic proportions on the final raptor, giving each other a hi-five as the mallet melted away into the wind. The battleground was peaceful now, but the team knew that this was only the beginning.

"Are more coming?" Mioku inquired.

"Only time will tell." Mystia answered vaguely.
