Incident 5: Three Lights of the Phoenix
Upon the walls of the sphere where Reimu and company were laid, many drawings depicting two large bird Yokai could be seen. One fought to protect, the other fought to destroy. As they turned the corner, they found the sphere's inner sanctum. At the very center of the sanctum there was a large tree. The large tree itself was a massive white tree many large branches, but no leaves or pedals. It looked dead.
On the other side of the tree, there was a Yokai, stuck to the tree with an arrow that was made out of Shimenawa rope. "Looks like somebody wanted something sealed, and sealed well ze~," said Marisa.
The Yokai herself had brown hair, pale skin, and looked like she had no life. Her clothes were falling apart from what seemed to be age, and half her body was in the tree itself.
Reimu touched the arrow carefully. The moment she touched it, it began to fall apart. "Looks like age has worn out the rope's stiffness," said Reimu observantly. The moment Reimu said that, the arrow shattered. Two small flames, one white and one black appeared where the arrow was and began to fly around, slowly getting bigger. Reimu, Okuu and Marisa began grazing the two flying spheres.
This didn't last long as the spheres then merged with the Yokai and began to absorb the very field they were sealed in. Slowly and steadily the surrounding walls, floor and ceiling turned into black and white Damnaku arrows.
From the very top of the room, the Damnaku arrows began to fall in a stream, blocking the way out for everyone. Reimu used her link with Yukari and pulled everyone into a gap leading out of the field.
"She was… absorbing my blasts. I don't know how but I do believe she was finally overpowered-" Said Okuu. She was interrupted with a loud snap sound coming from the orb. Marisa, Reimu, and Okuu all retreated to the walls to avoid the now massive flying ball that was being shot out of the hell of raging fires.
It flew through the fields of hell, out the Palace of the earth spirits, over the bridge of the underground city, and up the shaft of the guyser. It launched into the sky with a massive bang as it split into three smaller balls. One left east passed the Scarlet Devil Mansion. This one was a white ball. One flew west into the Yokai Mountain. This ball was black. The final ball flew straight up and collided with the Great Hakurei Barrier that surrounds all of Gensokyo, and completely vanished into thin air.
