BGM: EoSD Stage 1 Theme; A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry (Re-Extended)
Gensokyo a land that is untouched by the scientific outside world, and where the supernatural roam free. However, the land is currently being plagued by red mist, which is blocking out the sunlight. And it is up to the main incident resolvers to go and solve whatever is happening as of now.
"*Sigh* here we go again." Reimu Hakurei said to herself as she flew through the forest.
Reimu is a shrine maiden who works to make sure Gensokyo's peace is alright by resolving incidents. She is known for wearing a red skirt, a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a yellow ribbon, and a pair of white detached sleeves which expose her armpits and sarashi. The miko has long loose brown-black hair with a red ribbon on her head and matching tubes on her sidelocks. Her brown eyes were surveying the area right now looking for the origin of the red mist, and she was gripping her gohei tightly in case of combat.
As she is flying several fairies decided to confront Reimu and started to fire danmaku toward the miko. The shrine maiden managed to dodge the bullets, and retaliated by shooting the fairies with ofudas from the two yin-yang orbs floating beside her. The fairies were easily taken out by the bullets and simply disintegrated somewhere far away from this place.
A greater fairy flew up with some smaller fairies to combat the miko. The big one shot several red danmaku which spreaded out, while the smaller ones followed it up by shooting small blue bullets. Reimu of course dodged these projectiles and took all of them out by throwing her two yin-yang orbs at the fairies. One of the orbs smashed into the big fairy and took her out, and some of the smaller fairies as well. The other one finished off the stranglers that survived the orb from earlier.
Two more greater fairies confronted Reimu and started firing intricate danmaku patterns at the shrine maiden. Of course she dodged them easily and took both of them out with some homing amulets.
"Well if I get out of this darn forest I might be able to find the place, where this mist is coming from." Reimu said to herself as she flew through the forest.
"Is that so~"
Reimu immediately stopped moving in mid air and started to check where the voice of the speaker was coming from. A little girl with a ribbon on her head floated in front of the miko with her arms out in a t pose.
"Hello there, Miss I'm Rumia!"
"And I'm Hakurei Reimu." The shrine maiden sharply introduced herself to Rumia.
"Good there's something I have to ask you." She asked her innocently.
"Oh, and what might that be?" The miko knew that something is a bit off with this girl so she prepared herself for what's probably going to happen next.

"Can I eat you?" Rumia said as she smiled widely revealing sharp teeth in her mouth.
"No, because you're in my way right, now." Reimu said.
"Is that so~?" Rumia said, still with that monstrous grin on her face. "Night Sign: Night Bird!"
The youkai started to shoot green and blue shots that spread out as well as green ones to support them. Reimu dodged them easily due to her experiences in the past, and shot several persuasion needles at her..
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." Rumia was hit by some of the senbons, but she dodged most of them. She retaliated by blue, green, and red danmaku bullets at the shrine maiden.
Reimu dodged these projectiles and sent homing amulets toward the youkai. Rumia couldn't dodge them and was hit by the projectiles, so she decided to use one of her other spell cards.
"Darkness Sign: Demarcation!" Red, white, and green weaving danmaku, and blue waves of bullets were shot by Rumia to try and catch the shrine maiden off guard. Reimu of course just dodged through them easily, she decided to end this fight quickly by throwing both the yin-yang orbs beside her at the darkness youkai.
"*smash* blegh! *smash* Arghhh!" Rumia was first hit in the middle by the first orb, and she was then hit in the head by the second. The youkai crashed down into the earth screaming, there was dust where the impact had taken place, and revealed Rumia's knocked out body on the floor.
'Alright, now that's done I need to find a way out of this darn forest.' Reimu thought to herself as she went back on track with getting out of the forest as she left the knocked out Rumia on the ground.
BGM End.

Timeskip: 2 minutes later…
"Alright I'm finally out of that forest." Reimu said as she saw the exit out of the woods. She started flying toward it.
When Reimu came out she found herself at the edge of a lake. There was a white cool mist in the lake, and the most important detail is that there was a red mansion at the far side of the water, which had red mist coming out of it.
'There's the place, where the culprit must be at!' Reimu mentally thought to herself.
"Hey, Reimu!" A voice called out to her left.
Reimu turned her head, and saw a familiar face "Hello, Marisa."
Marisa Kirisame, one of Gensokyo's main incident resolvers. She is currently wearing a black-white witch outfit, the magician even had broom to fit the look as well. She is also known for her kleptomaniac tendencies.
"It looks like you came to the same conclusion like me, ze." Marisa said with a confident smirk on her face. "The red misty stuff must be coming from over there in that mansion!"
"No sh*t I know where it's coming from, we got to get over there before things get worse!" Reimu said to her kleptomaniac friend.
"Geez, Reimu you don't have to be so pushy, ze." Marisa said as she flew over the lake toward the mansion along with the shrine maiden.

"So Marisa how are you adjusting to the spell card rules?" Reimu asked her friend.
"Doing good, da-ze." Marisa said. "I created my own spell cards using the spells I had created."
"Well that's good to hear." Reimu said to her friend. She was a bit worried her friend wouldn't be able to adapt to the spell card rules, but was proven wrong by her once again.
The two friends suddenly saw several pollen seeds fly toward them along with some fairies coming at them. Reimu shot some amulets toward them, while Marisa did the same, but with magic missiles. Their shots did take out the fairies, but also hit the pollen seeds that exploded sending out shrapnel everywhere.
"Marisa we should not shoot the seeds otherwise their gonna explode in our faces."
"Okay, da-ze."
More fairies and pollen seeds came toward Reimu and Marisa. The two of them decided to take out the fairies, and avoid shooting the seeds, so as to make things easier for the two of them.
Afterwards the two of them saw some white bug, and paper-like things coming at them. Reimu destroyed them with homing amulets, and ofudas while Marisa did too, but with magic missiles and lasers.
"Marisa, why do you think these things are attacking us anyways?!" Reimu yelled out as she shot needles that pierced and destroyed the papers that were coming at her.
"I don't know Reimu, but let's just keep blasting them, ze!" Marisa shouted as her missiles and lasers took out the majority of the hostile papers and white bug things.
After taking out yet another wave of those papers and bug things the two of them got much closer toward the mansion at the end of the lake. Up close more details of it were shown like it having a giant clock tower.
"Ey, we're closer, ze!" Marisa shouted in excitement.
"NOT SO FAST!" A childish voice shouted out loud toward the two of them. "FOR YOU'RE ABOUT TO FACE THE STRONGEST IN GENSOKYO!"
"Eh? And who might that be." Reimu said a bit miffed someone's trying to stop her from solving
the incident.

"THAT WOULD BE ME, CIRNO, THE STRONGEST FAIRY IN GENSOKYO!" A blue haired fairy with icicle shaped wings flew up to Reimu and Marisa along with a reluctant green haired fairy as well.
"Um, Cirno I don't think fighting these two is a good idea." The green haired fairy said to the ice fairy.
"What are ya talkin 'bout, Daiyousei eye can take both of them on!" Cirno said to the green haired fairy beside her. "Besides ya can help me take them both on.".
"O-oh, okay." Daiyousei still a bit reluctant.
Cirno started to fire icicles, and daiyousei shot red kunai shaped bullets at Reimu and Marisa. The two of them dodged the projectiles and shot magic missiles, homing amulets, lasers, and ofudas back toward them.
Cirno and Daiyousei dodged those attacks albeit barely, and both retaliated by shooting their own danmaku toward the incident resolvers. The ice fairy decided it is time to use one of her spell cards.
"Ice Sign: Icicle Fall!" Rings of ice danmaku were shot by Cirno toward the incident resolvers. They would have hit Reimu and Marisa if it weren't the big blind spot in the middle of all of this.
"Why eye'm not hitting you?!" Cirno yelled in disbelief.
"You have a big blind spot in your spell cards, idiot." Reimu said harshly toward the ice fairy.
"Errrr, Daiyousei HELP ME!"
"O-oh, okay." Daiyousei fired three lanes of blue and white bullets toward Reimu and Marisa. During that time Cirno's spell card ran out, which allowed the two of them to easily dodge those incoming projectiles. The kleptomaniac witch, then fired lasers and magic missiles that hit the green haired fairy and took her out of the fight.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Cirno yelled out in angry seeing her friend be defeated by Marisa. "EYE'LL AVENGE YOU DAIYOUSEI! Freeze Sign: Perfect Freeze!"
The homing amulets, ofudas and magic missiles that were coming at Cirno were frozen in place, the other projectiles that were heading toward the ice fairy were frozen solid as well. The frozen objects then exploded into ice shards that rained down upon both Reimu and Marisa.
While the shrine maiden, and black-white witch were being distracted, Cirno was barreling toward the latter with an ice sword in her hand. Marisa, however, managed to block the ice fairy's strike with her broom, which surprisingly held up from being hit.
"WOAH WOAH WOAH! She was just a fairy, she'll just come bac-."
"That doesn't matter! I will still avenge her!" Cirno shouted as she tried to strike Marisa with her sword, but was blocked numerous times by the witch's broom.
"Magic Sign: Stardust Reverie!" Cirno was hit at close range by different colored stars by Marisa's spell card. She also didn't take in the account of Reimu, and when the spell card was over, the ice fairy was hit hard in the face by the shrine maiden's gohei.
Cirno was sent crashing into the lake and there was a huge splash of water that quickly frozen solid. The frozen splash of water, then broke apart into pieces signaling that the fight was over.
BGM End.
"That fairy was something, ze." Marisa commented.
"Yes that fairy just claimed she was the 'stongest' fairy in Gensokyo." Reimu said using air quotes to emphasize her point. "I seriously doubt there would be any strong fairies ever in Gensokyo and anywhere for that matter."
"You might never know, Reimu, there might be one in the future." Marisa said. "Besides, lighten up where we're at our destination right now!"

Indeed the two of them arrived out the place where they wanted to be at the mansion at the end of the lake. Up close now the mansion exterior seems to be red making it an eyesore in Gensokyo. It also seems to be entirely western meaning, unlike the usually oriental feel of buildings in the land of illusions.
"How come we never saw this before, ze." Marisa said looking impressed that she and her friend never find this place existed.
"Well that could be of the mist from the lake that we were flying through, that might explain why we didn't see this up until this point." Reimu answered.
As Reimu and Marisa got closer to the mansion, they see a girl guarding the gate that leads toward the mansion. She has aqua-blue eyes and long, scarlet hair underneath a green beret. She also wore a traditional green Chinese dress modified to suit her occupation as a gatekeeper.
"Halt, who are you two, and why are both coming to the mansion right now!" The gatekeeper yelled out at Reimu and Marisa.
"Me, and my friend, Marisa came here to find the red mist that the person in that mansion must have started." Reimu said bluntly.
"So that means you want to enter the mansion and defeat my mistress, is that correct?"
"Yes, da-ze!"
"Then I can't allow both of you to enter." The gatekeeper said to the shrine maiden and kleptomaniac witch.
"And why not?" The miko said to the girl.
"That is because, I Hong Meiling, gatekeeper, and gardener of the Scarlet Devil Mansion will not allow any intruders to come into the mansion with the LIKES OF YOU!" The gatekeeper, then rushed at the two of them full force.
A/n: Poor Rumia, Cirno, and Daiyousei, they never stood a chance. If you wondering why I briefly described the three members of Team ⑨ it is, because this is the first time that Reimu and Marisa first meet these girls.
I also described Reimu and Marisa's appearance, because I forgot to do it in the earlier chapters, so there. If anyone was wondering why I didn't do it soon.
