Alex flew at high speeds to the Netherworld. He saw now there was a party going on there, with the Prismsisters playing. Great, now he can have an even better picture! Alex quickly went to the tree, and nobody noticed him. Alex started cutting the seal off. It started to drop, and still, nobody noticed. Alex backed up, and watched the tree bloom. He got on the mansion, as he was ready for the best picture. The tree bloomed, and Alex took a snapshot. Great! He got it. The snapshot of perfection. Alex finally got what he wanted. He decided to stay a bit to watch the sisters play. He admired Lunasa's skills as a violinist. Yuyuko then noticed the tree being bloomed.
She started to go in panic, and didn't know what to do. Alex got up to her and said he wanted the perfect picture, so he undid the seal. She grabbed onto him and screamed at him saying "What are you crazy?! If the tree's seal is released, everything shall die!" Alex started to feel dizzy, and he saw other people fading away. Yuyuko kept grabbing onto him saying "This is what you caused, the end of Gensokyo. Now you must be the first to whiteness the true terror of the tree." Alex couldn't get out of her hold, and the tree started rustling. It seemed to start to take on a form, as… a dragon? The tree started to lift, and it seemed everything else but he and Yuyuko were there. Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae flew around it, and started trying to kill it.
They couldn't do anything, it was unstoppable. Alex kept witnessing the terror it's releasing as it shot a dark purple ray through the sky. Yuyuko kept hold on Alex, as he was powerless to do anything about the tree. There started to be more people flying around it, ghosts as well. It was starting to be an all out war. Finally, Alex's vision was lost and he didn't know what was going on. He went unconscious as well.
There he awakened on Komachi's boat, with his perfect picture. He asks what happened. Komachi doesn't know, and where she is currently is one of the only safe places from the Ayakashi. Alex is then taken to Shikeiki, where he is judged.
