Reimu and Spell exit the weird portal and arrive in a area above the clouds, on top of a nearly invisible platform. "So, I guess we are supposed to be looking for something up here?" Reimu said as she looked around. "Well, keep an eye out for any death lasers, evil lairs, or just someone with a mean look in his eye. Usual stuff." Spell says, shrugging his shoulders. Reimu nodded as she turned around, "Uh, I don't think we have to look far." Reimu said as Spell turned around. Behind both of them was a giant machine, almost looking like a robot of sorts. "Yeah, that'll do." Spell says, trying to figure out exactly what he was looking at. Before Reimu and Spell could get a closer look, Sakuya and a mysterious lady covered in mist appeared right before their eyes. The two both jump back and continue to fire magic and knives at each other. "Well, we found Sakuya at least." Reimu says watching the two fight. "Yeah, lively as always Sakuya!" Spell shouts to her, trying to get her attention. "Are you two gonna stand around? This one can stop time too!" Sakuya shouts as both her and the lady covered in mist disappear again. Reimu pulls out her Talismans and looks around, "She could pop out at anytime, we gotta be careful…" Reimu said sounding cautious. "This is like a high stakes game of Whack-a-mole! Let me just get my hammer!' Spell says, summoning the Hero's Blade as a giant hammer.
Reimu gave Spell a confused look but quickly looked back at the surrounding area. After a few seconds pass the mysterious lady appears in front of Reimu and Spell. Suddenly a giant ring appears behind her and begins to shoot magic and Reimu and Spell, both of them dodge the attack as the lady disappears again. "She can focus on both of us, how are we supposed to hit her?" Reimu said trying to think of a way. "This world is distorted that I might be able to pull something off. But, it depends on if she's using time-travel or time-stopping to teleport. If not, then it'll come down to reflexes." Spell says, looking around for their foe. Sakuya appears again, "Have you figured anything out? She's fast and I'm running out of spell cards!" Sakuya explains trying to stay calm. "Do you know if she's stopping time or time travel? We might have a good plan depending on what the answer is." Reimu explains. Sakuya nods, "It's time stopping or at least something that feels like it, right now she's observing us, waiting for her next move." Sakuya explains getting ready to fight again. "I am so sick of these time-based enemies… You guys know it's technically illegal? I mean, I tend to overlook just stopping time but it's still a pain…" Spell says, walking out into the open. He looks around, to see if he's being attacked. However, the battlefield remains silent. "Hey, this isn't really any fun if you just hide behind your crazy time powers! Come on, you didn't even say hello before attacking us!" Spell shouts, trying to trick his adversary into coming out of hiding. Sakuya shakes her head, "She doesn't speak at all, it's just odd sounding laughter, and her whole body makes it look like she's made out of mist." Sakuya explains. "Is this one of Janus's mist illusions? We fought one before." Reimu asks. "If that's the case, then talking won't do anything. Problem is, I need to know where she is…" Spell says, now looking around frantically. The mist covered lady appears behind Spell and kicks him in the back, launching him back near the edge of the area. "Spell!" Reimu shouts, now firing Talismans at the lady, but she quickly vanishes again before Reimu's attack can even land. "Going for my blind spot? That's just dirty…" Spell says, standing up. "Alright ladies! We need to work together here. Get behind me and cover my flank!" Spell says, running towards Reimu and Sakuya. Reimu and Sakuya get ready to attack again. "If she's one of Janus's illusions, then she'll go down pretty easily." Reimu explains looking around. The lady appears again now firing a lot of lasers at the three heroes. Everyone quickly dodges and prepares themselves for the next attack. The lady laughs and begins to vanish, but halfway through, the vanishing stops and she reappears. "Oh? Getting worn out are you?" Sakuya asks. "I was wondering how long you could keep up that vanishing act." Spell says. The lady begins to shoot more lasers at them, trying to keep them busy so they wouldn't have a chance to attack. "You have a limit on how much your time powers work." Sakuya says pulling out a knife as she vanishes and reappears behind the lady, "But I don't!" Sakuya shouts as she hits the lady with the knife making her fall to the ground. "Now Spell!" Reimu shouts as she and Spell run over to attack the lady. "Guess what? Hammer time!" Spell says, "fore!" Spell launches the lady away with the hammer and as she falls to the ground, the mist slowly dissolves, revealing the mist was covering up someone.
As all the mist disappeared, the person was revealed to be a girl with long blonde hair wearing a blue and white military looking outfit. "Well, I guess you beat the first one." Everyone turns around and behind them was Janus and Terumi. "Well, she did her job well, I didn't think you'd be able to beat her without killing her." Janus says looking around. "All it takes is a little bit of some negative energy and some mist to make her look like her other self and boom, she's acting like the real deal. Janus continues to explain. "Damn, Lewis. You can't leave us alone for like 10 minutes! Talk about separation issues…" Spell says, before turning back to the girl on the floor, "and you're back to brainwashing people No class at all man." Janus shakes his head, "First, it's not Lewis, it's Janus, I'd suggest you keep calling me that if you know what's good for you. Secondly, That's the last time I'll do it, I promise." Janus explains, sounding a little annoyed. "I doubt that…" Reimu says sounding skeptical. Sakuya throws a knife at Janus as he quickly dodges it. "Where's Remilia and Flandre? I saw you take them before you dropped me off here!" Sakuya shouts. "You took Flan too? That might not have been a good idea." Spell says, trying not to sound worried. Terumi laughs, "Her powers are useless with what we have planned. There are many ways to restrict even the most absurd of powers here." Terumi explains. Janus laughs, "Yes. We're even planning something for you two, Reimu and Spell! I'm sure you'll love it." Janus says as he creates a portal from the sky. As the portal opens, Marisa and Sanae fall out from it. "Ow…" Marisa says landing on the floor. Sanae looks up at Reimu, Spell and Sakuya and quickly stands up with Marisa. "Oh, so that's where you two where." Sakuya says now sounding a bit more calm. Janus opens a portal behind him and Terumi, "Well I'll see you all in the next portal, have fun with your new friend over there." Janus says as he and Terumi leave.
"Oh crapbaskets! Is she okay?" Spell says, looking back to the girl. He runs over to her, and notices the knife in her leg. "Not good." He says. Everyone else runs over to the girl. "If I knew she was a person.. I wouldn't have gone this far… Sakuya says sounding a bit worried. Spell kneels down next to her. "Okay, time to do this. I need two of you to hold down her leg. It can't move when we do this. I need one other person to come and pull the knife out." Spell says, turning back to the others. "Uh, I'm not really good with this kind of doctor stuff. Sakuya it's your knife right? Why don't you pull it out and Reimu and Sanae hold onto her leg." Reimu, Sanae and Sakuya let out a sigh. "I wish Eirin was here…" Reimu says holding onto the girl's leg with Sanae. "Alright, I'll get ready." Spell says. He begins to flair up again, as his hair turns golden as it did during his "fight" with Terumi. "If I do this, I can use healing magic on her wound. But, if her muscles are moving to much when I do it could mean her leg will get messed up. If I had more time to heal her, it wouldn't be an issue. But, we don't have time so it needs to be quick. Make sure you guys hold it down tight. Sakuya, get ready to pull it out cleanly. Straight out, don't jerk it to the left or right." Spell says, sounding like a surgeon. The three girls nod in agreement as Sakuya begins to pull out the knife straight out, as Reimu and Sanae still hold on. Spell quickly puts his hands over the wound as soon as the knife is out. The wound quickly closes, and Spell reverts back to normal. "No issues with the healing process… minimal bleeding… She should be able to walk normally when she wakes up. Success!" Spell says, looking relieved, "and sorry for the dramatics. I wanted this to go as smooth as possible, seeing as she'll probably end up fighting again soon." Suddenly the area around them fades out into the lifeless area they were at before. The girl on the ground slowly opens up her eyes and sits up. "Where… where am I?" she asks still looking around. But before anyone could answer, she quickly began to panic, "Wait, where's Ragna? Where's Jin? Where are they? It was finally over wasn't it?!" She begins to panic. "Slow down. I don't know what happened to your friends, but some crazy stuff is going on. You need to calm down and tell us what happened to you. Maybe that will help us find them." Spell says, cutting straight to the chase. The girl shakes her head, "I… I don't know. I was with them before and then I blacked out… I thought that all of this would end, even after what they said…" the girl says looking around. "I'm afraid things have changed Noel…" A voice says from behind everyone. Everyone turns around and behind them was a small girl in a black outfit with blonde hair styled into twintails. "I should thank you two by the way, It seemed fixing that moment in time broke the seal." The girl explains. Reimu shakes her head, "And you are?" Reimu asks sounding a little lost on the situation. "You know, we're gonna meet an army's worth of people at this rate. But yeah, who are you exactly?" Spell asks. "My name is Rachel Alucard, pleased to meet you all." She looks at the group, "and to be honest, a army's worth is what we need." Rachel explains. "Oh great… By the way, you wouldn't happen to be a vampire would you?" Spell asks. Rachel looks at Spell, "Hmm? Why yes, I am. Does it matter somehow?" she asks sounding confused. "Nah, it's just that the last guy I met called Alucard was a vampire too. Common name I guess, but he was… odd to say the least." Spell says, almost shuddering. Noel looks at Rachel, "What happened? Where is everyone?" Noel asks sounding scared.
Rachel looks down and shakes her head, "I'll try to keep things simple for our new friends here." Rachel looks up from the ground and at the group. "Not too long ago, a lot of people here were on their way to end a huge problem for our world, you've probably already met him, but Terumi has been involved in most of our problems. We all had one final fight ready, many things were planned out and although some things didn't end up as planned, we did end up succeeding or at least I think we did…" Rachel explains. "I don't quite know what happened either, but the last thing I remember was Terumi and a man with a mask showing up. They put me in the same kind of seal Terumi was put in a long time ago, and all I could do was watch as they destroyed everything and everyone around us…" Rachel continues to explain sounding sad. Noel begins to tear up, "Does that mean that?..." Noel tries to speak. Rachel nods, "Yes, I'm afraid we might be the only ones alive right now." Rachel explains. Reimu looks around, "Why? Why is Lewis doing this?" Reimu asks sounding upset. "Some BS about saving the world by destroying it or something like that. Can"t have a bad future if there is no future!" Spell says, sarcastically. "However, I feel like there is still hope." Rachel says looking around. "If more of those portals in time show up, we can get enough people to fight back and maybe even fix whatever was changed." Rachel says sounding confident, "Although, it won't be easy, Terumi and that man were not alone…" Rachel says thinking about who else she saw. Marisa laughs, "So, we gotta save the day by beating people up again? Sounds like the same deal to me!" Marisa says cheerfully. "Yeah, I don't know what else Janus could do at this point, but I can tell this is his final attack." Reimu explains. "And how exactly can you tell? This is no different than the other crap he's pulled." Spell says, doubting the end is in sight. "Well, he did kidnap most of us, brought out everyone we encountered so far and sent us to a destroyed world… but maybe he's just changing it up a little." Sanae says trying to think about Janus's plans. "I guess you have a point. Not like to put all his cards on the table unless he was planning to win the game." Spell says. "Well we gotta do something, even it's not the end." Reimu says trying to stay confident. Noel stands up and looks at Reimu, "We gotta get everyone back, I only hope this is the end, for real this time." Noel says now trying to sound optimistic. "I'm not even going to bother asking what she's talking about…" Spell mutters to himself. "Well, before you all go out looking for the next portal, there's something you all must know." Rachel explains sounding worried. Everyone turns to look at Rachel who now looked nervous, "If you ever see a person who looks like he's wearing armor, keep him close to you. His name is Hakumen and don't ever let Terumi near him…" Rachel explains now sounding a bit scared. Noel shivered a bit, almost as if she remembered something. "Don't let crazy dude near armour dude, got it." Spell says, summarizing. Rachel nods, "I can't begin to explain how important that is, Spell was it? I can tell you and your friends are strong but… I don't think it will be enough…" Rachel continues to sound worried. "Is that what Janus was talking about earlier? The thing about his new friend?" Reimu begins to think. Spell shrugs, "I'm sure it's nothing we can't handle. I don't think either of us have truly gone all out yet. We'll be fine." Suddenly the sky around them turned red, "You want more portals right?" Janus said. "Then get ready for your final tests, heroes!" A large flash of white light surrounded the area and once it left 3 brightly shining portals were placed around the area, but in the center was a large one although it was covered in red mist. "He's doing that final boss thing again right?" Reimu asks. "Oh yeah, his ego levels are off the charts." Spell says, mocking him. Marisa jumps out in front of the group, "Well what are we waiting for! Lets save the big one for last and check out these small ones!" Marisa says sounding excited. Reimu looks at everyone around and nods, "Yeah, let's end this." Reimu says sounding ready. "Maybe I can get extra vacation hours for working on my day off…" Spell says, talking to himself. Everyone runs off to one of the small portals, ready to end this long Incident.
