It wasn't a normal night in Gensokyo, it was the night of the Star festival! It came every one hundred years and everyone was excited to party.
Star bits rained down from the sky, everyone was going to the Hakurei Shrine to party because that's where the party was.
Reimu was just finished getting things done. "Let's get this party started!" She smiled. She then walked outside and the first one to show up was Aya.
"Reimu, isn't Marisa the first one here? She's never late to a party." "Maybe she forgot." Reimu wondered. "Are you kidding? NO ONE forgets the Star Festival!" Aya told her. "Maybe she's not interested" Aya said. "Her? She's the life of the party!" Reimu said. "Exactly..." Aya nodded.
Marisa was in her house, getting ready. "Why am I still getting ready? I should be at the party by now!" She said. She looked outside. "By now, Aya is probably the first one there."
She ran out the door and ran to the Hakurei Shrine. Normally she'd fly there on her broom, but for some reason, her broom somehow malfunctions when a star bit hits it. How a broom can malfunction, Nitori and Marisa will never know.
She noticed the stairs leading up to the Shrine. "Almost there!" she exclaimed running passed Youmu and Nitori. "Whoa!" Nitori said, as she almost tripped. "Geez, I didn't think she was late!" She said. Marisa was running up the stairs when all of a sudden...
BOOM!
Marisa stopped dead in her tracks. "What the?" She looked up and saw several cannonballs rain down and hit several of her friends. But they didn't get blasted away, they were trapped in crystals! "WHAT THE HELL?!" Marisa screamed.
She looked up and saw several airships firing at them. "What the hell are those things?" She look forward, they were headed for the Shrine. "Reimu!" She ran up the stairs.
One of the airships got close to the shrine, and a very big looking turtle with spikes on his shell walked to the front of the ship.
"Who are you?" Reimu asked. "I am Bowser." The giant turtle said. "What are you doing here and WHY are you attacking Gensokyo?" She asked. "I am here, to kidnap you. And no one will stop me. Even that pesky Mario doesn't know I'm here!" He smirked. "I will make this Star Festival...a night to remember!" Electricity shot out of his hands and raised them up in the air. Suddenly, a UFO appeared above them, as Reimu looked up in horror.
