Reviews answers:

-VolcanicFlare: Thanks pal, this really means a lot to me. And yeah, i agree. Nan crossovers were interesting at first, but all those character were starting to act a little out of character at somepoint, not to mention, there were moments were things got too much satire and ridiculous for my taste, and certain crossovers simply didn't work for me. I won't go through that route, i promise.

Chapter 1

A Trip To Another World

Well, hello there friend. Glad to see you again. Did you enjoy my previous story? Well, I hope so, because I've got another story to tell you. It's much longer then the previous one, but I know you will like it. Before starting, I have once again a question to ask you: have you ever heard of the theory of the Conjunction of the Spheres?

…

…

… No? Well, in short, it states that there are different universes and worlds coexisting with ours, and that it is actually possible to visit them with the right means and resource.

Pretty wicked cool right?

Well, the reason why I'm telling you this it's because you will need this information to properly understand the story you are about to hear.

A story… were two universes collide.

One of the most important places in Gensokyo are undoubtedly the Shrines.

If you ever need to pray, or to go where you can relax, those are the right places. It helps that there are various ones scattered all over Gensokyo, so in the end, the real difficulty is choosing which one to see. And if you feel generous, you can leave them a little offering: money or food.

One in particular to visit is the Moriya Shrine.

Originally, it belonged to Suwako Moriya, a goddess with dominion over earth and mountains and an affection for frogs for some unknown reason, and one of the only beings able to tame the fierce Mishaguji (snakelike curse gods). However, Suwako lost control of her shrine to Kanako yasaka, a goddess with dominion over wind and rain and an affection for snakes, in a duel, where her steel weapons were rusted by a single counterattack by Kanako's divine vines, and only managed to retain the control that she did because of the refusal of her followers to accept a deity that could not control the Mishaguji.

The two still have a reasonably good friendship despite their past rivalry and the occasional arguments. She moved the shrine to Gensokyo because she could not gather enough faith from humans in the Outside World, and decided to gather faith from youkai as well.

Because of this, the two of them ended up been responsible for Gensokyo's tenth incident, which Reimu and Marisa put an end to quickly.

Since then, our two heroines have kept a mostly friendly relationship with them, though they ARE a bit annoyed at how greedy the two goddess can be sometimes.

Our story takes place exactly there: in the Moriya Shrine.

Reimu and Marisa were kneeled next to a table along with the two goddess, drinking a cup of tea with them.

Marisa was the first to speak. "Mmmmh… I must say, this tea is really good."

"Why thank you. I made it myself." Suwako responded as she sipped a bit of it herself.

Marisa chose to ask further. "Green or Black?"

Suwako then scoffed. "Green of course! Everyone knows that green tea is FAR superior to all the others! It's the mother of all teas!"

"Heh, right." Marisa answered a bit awkwardly.

Kanako took a sip of it herself. "Mmmmh… I don't know. I find it a little… strong."

The others were took a little back by her statement. Suwako in particular. "WHAT? Strong!? What are you talking about? Tea is NOT supposed to be strong!"

"Well, what can I say? It is a little."

Suwako a that point had a little theory in her mind. She sniffed her own tea little before then asking Kanako for hers. "… Kanako? Can you hand me your cup for a moment?"

Kanako strangely looked a little worried before answering. "… eehhh… suuuurreee?"

She then esitantly handed the cup to her. Suwako then sniffed it… and gasped loudly, has she could have recognized that stench anywhere.

The strong stench of alcohol.

She then glared at Kanako very judgingly. "AND IT'S ONLY 10:00 AM!"

Kanako didn't say anything. She simply took another sip of her "tea".

"How did you even manage to sneak it in your cup?! WE HAVE BEEN TALKING THIS ALL TIME!"

After been silent for a few second, Kanako scoffed at that remark. "Come on. You know what they say: a little bit of sake in the morning has never hurt anyone."

"… WHO!? TELL ME WHO HAS EVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT!?"

Marisa then could only laugh as she watched the two goddes start arguing again.

"Boy, those two will never change, am I right Reimu?... Reimu?"

Reimu didn't answer. She simply looked at the sealing lost in the thoughts. She has been like this the all time.

"REIMU!"

"AH!"

Reimu recomposed herself before looking back at Marisa.

"Eh, yes?"

"Reimu, you where spacing out." Marisa told her friend in a worried tone.

"I was?"

"Yes, you were, and it's already the second time today. It's been happening a lot lately."

Reimu could only look at the three present with an embarassed look. "I'm… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Suwako was getting curious at the situation so she decided to ask her. "Is there something wrong? I've never seen you act like this."

"I know, I know. It's just that… lately I've been having… a lot crossong my mind… you know?"

"… oh." Marisa could only matter this sadly as she immediately realized what she was talking about.

Suwako, of course, didn't. "Eh, okay. What are you-"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by screaming coming from one of the other rooms.

"COME ON! COME ON! JUMP YOU FAT ITALIAN! JUMP!"

That voice belonged to none other than Sanae Kochiya. The Shrine Maiden of the Moriya Shrine.

Everyone was left a bit startled by the suddeng screaming, especially Suwako, who screamed back at her.

"SANAE! DO YOU MIND? THERE ARE GUESTS HERE!"

"AAHH! SORRY MISS SUWAKO! I DIDN'T MEAN TO! REALLY!"

After the screaming stopped, there was a bit of an awkward tension, before Marisa coughed and decided to inquire.

"… Soooo… Sanae is… quite excited lately eh?"

Suwako the sighed with frustration. "Oh, you don't even know the half of it." She then looked right at Reimu. "You can thank your "friend" Existence for that."

Reimu physically winced when she heard that name. Marisa immediately noticed it, but unfortunately, Suwako didn't. "Ever since he showed up in our lives, that guy as been bringing all sorts of trinkets from the outside world."

"Really?" Marisa asked.

"Really. He has brought to Sanae who know how many things. Mangas; Anime; Consoles; and, of course, videogames. She has been playing them non stop for who know how long."

Marisa sweatdropped and chose to find the positive side of the situation. "Well… at least she is having fun."

Suwako however was not convinced. "Sure. I was happy for her at first, but I would really like to see you two having to spend the all day hearing gems like "Let's-a-go!" or "Here we go!" and of course, who could forget "So long Bowser!"."

Kanako then started to chuckle, thing which Suwako did not took well. "What are you laughing at? You have to deal with this nonsense too!"

Suwako the sighed, and went back on the original topic. "Anyway, back on track. She is not the only person he visited with this items. He also gave Patchouli an "inhaler" or whatever you what to call it; he gave the Underground Group different kinds of new alcoholic beverages; With Byakuren it's different, as he brings her information on the activity of buddhism in the Outside World; not to mention he also-"

"Can we please stop talking about him?"

Everyone was left completely stunned at Reimu sudden reaction, especially after been silent for so long. The tone in which she said that was full of frustration, and maybe also a little bit of anger.

Marisa was the first to try to console her. "Reimu…"

Reimu then realized her sudden outburst, she sighed and got up.

"I… I need to go to the bathroom."

After she said that, she proceeded to go torward it, leaving everyone else spechless and worried.

To be fair, while she DID need to go to the bathroom, it was mostly an excuse.

What she truly needed right now, was to be alone for a while.

However; unknowingly to everyone, there was another person listening to their conversation; and they were hiding right behind the Shrine.

This person had a very important objective in mind; one which they were deadset on achieving, no matter what: Revenge.

This person then adjusted the belt they were wearing. It was a gadget belt, full of smoke bombs and various potions. They gave it one last check to properly prepare themself.

"Looks like everything is properly set."

"… After all this time, finally…"

They then smiled. A smile full of malice and wickedness. A smile that was getting wider and wider as she kept thinking of all the chaos she was about to unleash.

"… finally I will make those two PAY."

"Ok. What's going on with her?"

Kanako wasn't exactly the best at reading other people's fealings, but even she could tell that something was going on. "I know she can act a bit… off at times, but with "off" I mean jerkish. And THAT was not jerkness."

Marisa at this point sighed and decided to tell them the truth. "Okay. You have to promise me you won't tell Reimu that I told you. Promise."

The two goddess looked at eachother before nodding in understanding. "We promise."

She then mentally prepared herself to reveal the truth. "So, here's the thing. You all know how Existence came into our lives, right?"

They nodded. "Well, there is a part of that encounter we "may" have omitted from the all thing."

She than took a deep breath and said it. "You see, Existence, he… he used to know Reimu's mother."

That took them really off guard. Neither of them knew Reimu's mother personally, but they heard a lot about her. They also knew that Reimu never mentioned or talked about her, for some reasons. So it would be an understatement to say that they were a bit surprised and curious. Suwako in particular wasted no time to ask questions. "Wait wait wait! Her fricking MOTHER!?"

Marisa then started to explain a bit more properly. "Okay. Look, in short, she disappeared when Reimu was still young. And not in the sense that she died, I mean literally disappeared, out of nowhere, without anyone even noticing."

The two goddess where unsure on how to properly speak of the situation, considering the implications. Suwako still tried. "I… see. I can imagine that hearing about her mother again after all this time might have cause some "reaction" out of her."

"Oh, you don't even know the half of it. Hear me out. You know what happened when he told her the nickname her mother used to call her? She, and I assure you I'm NOT joking, she cried."

Now those two where even more shocked than before. Reimu as always been a pretty reserved person, especially regarding her emotions, always giving everyone a cold and distant attitude. The fact that someone like are had such an episode, truly speaked volume on how serious the situation was.

Suwako was especially at loss of word. "… Okay. Let's see if I got this right. You are telling me that Reimu Hakurei, the girl that treat most people with coldness, the girl that acts xenophobic torward most Yokais, fricking CRIED!?"

Marisa then nodded silently, as if to show the gravity of the situation. "Yes, and she told me cleary that she doesn't want to talk about it, for the moment at least. So now that I told you, can you please PLEASE swear that you won't tell this to anyone or approach her about it? Not just for her sake, also because I'm pretty sure she will kill me if she finds out that I told someone." She then took brief pause before continuing. "I just… don't want to see her get hurt. Trust me on th-"

Right before she was about to finish her sentence, Reimu returned from the bathroom. Marisa immediately tried to make it look like she was talking about a completely different thing. "WELL, looks like you were right Suwako! Green tea really is superior!"

Reimu went back in her sit and began speaking. "I… I apologize for the scene I made earlier."

Suwako immediately tried to reassure her. "Oh, don't worry about it. It happens to the best of us." She then pointed at Kanako. "Her especially."

Kanako simply shrugged at this accusation like it was nothing. "It's true."

Reimu at this point really needed to change the subject, and luckily for her, she had just the thing. "So, out of curiosity, how is Sanae's training going?"

"Pretty good. She has been learning a lot." Suwako answered her. Kaano then added. "Just you wait. A few more weeks, and she will have the best of both of us."

Marisa then replied with a grin. "For our sake, let's hope she takes more from Suwako."

This earned laughing from everyone, except Kanako herself, whose sended Marisa a glare before taking another sip of her "tea".

It was such a peaceful moment. Everyone sharing laughs, jokes and having a good time. It was one of those moments where everything was really good. One of those moments where the mood was bright and positive.

So it was obvious that it wasn't bound to last.

Suddendly, stopping everyone's laughter, something was thrown from outside the door and landed inside the Shrine, living everyone stunned.

"Wha-"

Then the object exploded, revealing it to be a smoke bomb. Smoke spread all over the Shrine, blinding everyone.

"What the hell!? What's going on!?"

"I can't see anything!"

"OW! Suwako! You stepped on my foot!"

"Sorry!"

Then, the smoke cleared and everyone could see again.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Everyone directed themself torward the direction of the laughter. And when they did, they came witness to someone. Someone that left Reimu spechless.

"Y-You!"

Standing in front of them… was the yokai Amanojaku Seija Kijin.

Seija Kijin was responsible for Gensokyo's fourteenth incidents, where she manipulated the Princess of the inchlings, Shinmyoumaru Sukuna, to help her create a new world where the weak ruled over the strong. Unlike all the other cases, Seija did NOT feel remorse for all the chaos she caused, and did NOT try to make amend for her actions, she instead chose to run away, becoming and outlaw. Ever since then, she has been causing all sorts of trouble, especially Reimu, most of which included petty thefts.

But all of that was nothing compared to what she planned this time.

"Morning, Reimu!" Seija said with a evil smirk.

"Seija Kijin!" Reimu immediately prepared herself to fight her when… "Eh? Wait! Where is my-"

"Oh. You are looking for… THIS?" Seija then showed her hand, revealing that she took the Yin-Yang Orb, one of Reimu's main weapons.

"My Orb!"

Marisa looked like she was about to jump her any second. "You no good lowlife scumbag! What do you plan to do with that?!"

"You mean this? Believe, I would REALLY love to tell you… but I don't want to ruin the SURPRISE!"

Reimu know was really furious. "If you think all just let you go with that-"

Before she could finish, Seija snapped her fingers, causing everything to turn upside down.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

Then she snapped her fingers again, bringing everything back to normal and causing everyone except her to fall on the ground. Even poor Sanae in the other room.

"HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON!? DID I ACCIDENTALLY PRESS THE UPSIDE DOWN OPTION WHILE I WASN'T LOOKING!?"

Seija then laughed at the chaos and humiliation she caused, like it was the funniest thing she as ever done. "HAHAHAHAHA! Oh boy! That NEVER get's old!" She then looked directly at Reimu, who was still on the ground. "Well! I would love to stay here and chat, but I've got some BIG plans in the work, and I just can't WAIT to see them come in motion!"

Then, like a child, she blowed a raspberry at them and spanked her own butt before flying off, laughing all the while. "LATER LOSERS! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Marisa started to get up slowly, more mad that she has ever been. "I… hate… her… powers… SO. MUCH!"

Reimu immediately got up, determination firing from her eyes. "We can't let her get away with my orb! Who knows what she will do with it!"

She then grabbed her blessing stick, her Gohei, and went torward Marisa. "Come on! We have to go after her!"

"R-Right!" Marisa replied.

Reimu then looked at the two goddess, who were still on the ground. "Do you… need any help?"

Suwako simply waved at her. "Na… just go. We will just… stay here and… maybe relax for a bit."

Reimu nodded and directed herself torward the door. "Let's go!"

Both her and Marisa proceeded to fly after Seija, Marisa being particulary mad. "I WILL PUNCH HER REIMU! I WILL PUNCH HER SO HARD!"

The two goddess who remained behind tried to properly process everything that happened.

"… So much for a quite morning." Suwako huffed.

"Tell me about it." Kanako replied.

Just then, noise came from the other room as Sanae arrived from it fastly. She looked at the mess the room was in, becoming very confused.

"Miss Suwako! Miss Kanako! What happened in here!?"

The two goddess stared at each other before Kanako replied.

"… Short version or long version?"

"Eeeeh, short."

"In short, Marisa and Reimu are kinda in the need of help."

"Help? Wait, you mean my help? But… that means…"

Sanae allowed the information to process in her brain… before letting out a huge squee, almost turning the other two deaf.

"YES! FINALLY, THE DAY OF MY GREAT ADVENTURE HAS COME!" She then took from her pocket a Mario amiibo (the first one) "You heard that Mario!? I'm about to go on an adventure of my own with Reimu and Marisa! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?"

She then bowed her head to the two goddess. "Don't worry, Miss Suwako! Miss Kanako! I will make all three of you proud of me!"

Suwako was a bit confused by that statement. "… Three?"

"Yes! You, Miss Kanako AND Mario!" She said as she showed the amiibo again. She put it back in her pocket before asking Suwako a question. "So tell me! Where did Reimu and Marisa go?"

The two goddess, without saying anything, pointed at the door, or to be exact, to the direction of the Bamboo Forest.

"Thank You!"

She then walked torward the door. "Alright! Time for adventure!"

She then jumped in a very familiar faction and flew torward the forest. "Let's-a-go!"

The two goddess where left even more spechless that before as they watched Sanae flying away.

"… So."

"… Yeah. So."

Suwako chose to try to break the awkwardness. "So… what do we do now?"

Kanako responded by taking a bottle of Sake from nowhere. "A little drink party?"

Suwako then sighed heavily as she took a long swig from that bottle.

"I don't even want to know where you took that bottle from."

Seija was flying as fast as she could. She used all her strenght to fly as far away possible from those two. Luckily, her contact had chosen a perfect place: The Bamboo Forest. The perfect place to make sure they wouldn't find her.

She then landed in the exact spot where the rendezvous was supposed to take place. No one was there yet.

"HEY! OLD HAG! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

No response.

"COME ON OLD HAG! I BROUGHT WHAT YOU WANTED! COME OUT!"

She then turned around… and came face to face with her contact.

The witch Cackletta.

"… Well, hey there old hag. Took you long enough."

Cackletta was not in the mood of playing, especially after having been called an "old hag", which made her really furious. Thing which she had no problem to vocalize.

"Don't call me an old hag ever again! GOT IT!?"

Seija didn't look perturbed or worried at all after hearing that threat, simply scoffing like it was nothing. "Sure, sure. Whatever you say… old hag." The last line was muttered under her breath.

Cackletta must have used some serious messianic restraint to not jump at Seija's troat in that moment. She in fact managed to calm herself despite how furious she was.

Fawful on the other hand, did not.

"You filthy fink rat! How dare you speak to the Great Cackletta like that! You are nothing but the disgusting Mayonnaise in this Sandwich of greatness."

"I, what?" Seija was completely buffled by Fawful "interesting" way of speaking.

Cackletta was starting to lose her patience again. "Enough of that! Let's get down to business." She then turned to Seija. "Have you brought what we asked of you?"

Seija smirked. "Of course I did my dear. Have a look at this!"

Seija handed the Ying Yang Orb to Cackletta, who then started looking at it with a demented smile. "Finally! I've finally got my hands on it!"

She then looked at Fawful. "Just look at it Fawful! Imagine all the things I will be capable of doing after I've unlocked is secrets and powers!"

Fawful gleefully laughed. "I'm trembling from excitement my Lady!"

Seija however was really curious. "I'm wondering: how do you come to know of the orb?"

Cackletta smiled creepily at that. "Let's just say I heard of it from… a reliable source. And let's live it at that!"

Seija decided to accept that answer. "Ok… How do you plan to unlock the secrets of the orb exactly?"

She smiled creepily again. "Oh don't worry, I have my ways! You can say whatever you want about me, but that I'm not resourceful isn't one of does."

Seija shrugged at it. There was something more important going on in her head. "Whatever. I don't particularly care about it. What I DO care is our deal remember? I give you the orb and in return you give me a way to reach your world."

Cackletta stared at her for a few second before nodding. "A deal is a deal." She then turned torward her assistant. "Fawful. Do it."

Fawful then revealed a remote with one button on it. After pressing it, the ground began to shake, startling Seija. "Whoa! What's going on!?"

After a bit of shaking, a green pipe emerged from the groud.

Cackletta pointed at it. "There we go! Here it is: your ticket for our world!"

Seija simply looked at the pipe with a deadpun expression. "… That is the ticket?"

"Yes." Cackletta answered.

"… that pipe?"

Yes."

"… THAT. PIPE."

Yes."

"… is this some kind of joke?"

Cackletta shacked her head. "No joke Seija. That pipe is indeed how you can travel to our world. Take it or leave it."

Seija groaned and putted a hand on her forehead. "Goodness gracious. I still haven't seen your world, and this is already so weird."

Cackletta chuckled at this. "And this is still nothing. Believe me."

Seija decided to not allow this to bleak her day. She had big plans coming. "You know what? Whatever. I won't allow this to put me down! I'm about to do some big things in your world!" She grinned in anticipation, before looking at the witch. "By the way, if you ever need help with something old hag, come and look form when we are… wherever whe are about to go."

Cackletta pondered about it. "I will… think about it."

Seija, without wasting anytime, jumped straight into the pipe, laughing all the while.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Prepare yourself new world! Seija Kijin is going to mess things up with a nice dose of Chaos! HAHAHAHAHA!"

After she had disappeared from sight, Fawful questioned Cackletta. "So, tell me mistress Cackletta, is everything ready to start now?"

Cackletta looked at Fawful, before giving him the most nightmarish smile that ever existed.

"Yes Fawful, it's time to go to the Beanbean Kingdom. You will see, with the powers of both the Ying yang orb and the Beanstar, I will not only rule the Beanbean Kingdom! No! I will rule THE ALL WORLD!"

And after making that claim, Cackletta got on her chair and flew in the pipe, followed by Fawful and his Headgear, all while laughing maniacally.

"EEEYAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!"

And she kept laughing, laughing and laughing… until she couldn't be heard anymore, living in the air a huge sense of dread that wouldn't have gone away for a long time.

Reimu and Marisa flew at the spead of light. Well, not really, buti t was still pretty fast. They were fully intended to capture Seija and get the Orb back. For the time they had known Seija, it was pretty obvious that whatever she was planning to do with the Orb, it wasn't anything good. So they had get it back.

Reimu was more furious that she has ever been. She was contemplating the various way to kill Seija once she got her hands on her. She was flying in the direction were she saw her flying to: The Bamboo Forest.

Marisa was wondering if they were going in the right direction. "Reimu! Are you sure that you saw her flying that way?" Reimu answered her. "Yes, I'm positive! She went inside the Bamboo Forest!"

She then flew inside the forest. "Come on! Let's go!"

Reimu and Marisa were now into the forest. They searched as much as they could, but they couldn't find her anywhere.

"Reimu… I think we lost her."

Reimu however was not going to give up. "No! We need to keep searching! She as to be around here somewhere!"

Just then, they heard shouting.

"REEEIIIMMUUU! MAARRIIISSAA!"

They both looked up and saw Sanae herself as she slowly descended next to them.

"Girls! Is that really how things are!? The moment something big happens, you leave me behind!?"

Marisa was getting really confused as she started to wave her hands. "Whoa whoa whoa! Slow down! What are you talking about?"

Sanae then gave them a determined smile. "Why, isn't it obvious? I want to help you!"

Remiu was left surprised by Sanae's statement. "Wait! You want… to come with us!?"

"Well duh. Everytime something big happens here, it's always you two that go fix the mess, while I stay on the sidelines most of the times. But not this time! You are bringing me with you, got it!?"

The two heroines didn't know what to say. Sanae had actually helped them solve a few of the incidents, though her role WAS small compared to theirs. And by looking at her, it was clear what the real reason for wanting to go along with them was. It's like she wanted to do this to prove something to herself more than anything.

Marisa wanted to make sure that she was serious about this. "Are you… sure about this? It might be dangerous."

Sanae answered with a confident smile. "I'm not naive Marisa. I know it will be dangerous. But this is something I have to do. Okay?"

Marisa pondered about it for a few more second. She eventualy got her answer. "Alright. I guess we-"

"Marisa. A word?"

Marisa turned around and saw Reimu looking at her seriously. She turned back to Sanae to excuse herself. "If you could give us a small moment?"

Sanae nodded and the two heroines went behind a tree to talk privatly.

"So… what's goin on?"

Reimu gave her an uncertain look. "Are you sure that… it's a good idea bring her along?"

Marisa immediately realized what was going on, and decided to have fun with her a little. "Oh, what's the matter? Are you worried that her positivity will clash with your brooding?"

"… I'm not brooding."

"Oh please. If there was a competition for who broods the most, you would reach first place immediately."

Reimu then sighed, took a deep breath and went back to her original point. "That's not what this is about okay? It's just that… what if we split up? Are you sure she will be capable of taking care of herself?"

Marisa understood the point she was making but rebutted. "Look, if that were to happen, I'm sure she will be fine, okay?"

"But-"

"No "but's", okay? Sanae is strong. We both now it. If anything, she is going to be a vital help for us, don't you think?"

Reimu gave it a lot of though, before eventually giving up, sighing. "… Okay, fine. She can come."

Marisa hearing that patted her shoulder an smiled. "Sweet!"

She then looked back at Sanae. "Good news Sanae! You can join us on our little adventure!"

Sanae, hearing this news, pumped her fists in the hair. "Awesome!"

She they joined and asked for a high five. Marisa gave it to her without problem, but Reimu refused. Though that didn't bother her.

"So, what's first on the agenda?"

Reimu knew exactly what was first. "We need to look for Seija. She is hiding around here somewhere."

Sanae nodded and took the task. "Roger. Let's search for her!"

The three of them then begin looking around the forest, but they didn't find anything.

Marisa was getting particulary bored. "Uuuugghh. This is pointless."

Reimu was having none of it. "Just… keep looking okay? She must still be hiding around here, somewhere."

She then heard Sanae's voice. "What about this green pipe?"

"Green pipe? What are you… eh?"

She looked where Sanae was… and saw something unexpected.

Standing in the ground was a big green pipe. It looked almost… cartoony.

Marisa was left a bit perplexed. "… Well. Talking about finding a neddle in a bush."

Reimu was even more perplexed than her. "What… what is this thing? What is a pipe, doing in place like this?"

Marisa had already formulated a theory. "I don't know Reimu. But I do know one thing: this pipe was definitely not here before. Now, Seija as come here, and this pipe has suddendly appeared out of nowhere. You see where I'm going with this, right?"

Reimu immediately understood and nodded. "Yes, I do. Seija must be hiding there!"

Sanae however was thinking about something else. "Weird… I could swear that I've seen this pipe somewhere before. But where?"

Marisa did not allower to think about it further. "That's not important Sanae. What's important right now is to capture Seija and get the Yin Yang Orb back!"

"Oh, right!"

Reimu walked to the pipe, and looked inside it.

"… So?" Marisa asked.

"It's pitch black inside this thing. I can't see the end of it."

Marisa was not worried about it. "Yeah, well, I really doubt we will have to worry about falling Reimu."

"Right."

The three of them stood in front of the pipe. After a few second, they gave each other confident looks and nodded.

"Alright! Let's do this!"

Without wasting anymore time, Reimu jumped straight into the pipe.

"Let's go!"

Marisa did the same thing, following her without hesitation.

"ADVENTURE!"

And finally, Sanae was last, jumping into the pipe full of enthusiasm.

The three heroine fell more and more into the pipe, completely disappearing from sight.

They were totally unaware of the crazy adventure they had just embarked their self torward.

Omake

(Imagine watching the all thing from the point of view of the camera)

The camera was turned on and it was recording. Sanae was in front of it and she was on a cyclette. This was her hour of exercise after all. She was also wearing the appropriate Training shoes, shorths and top.

"Let it be know to everyone! The name of Sanae Kochiya! The girl that will always be on top shape no matter what!" She then wincked at the camera. "I'm doing this for you, my fans!"

The camera then goes static.

It goes back to normal, and we see Sanae again on the cyclette, on a different day. She is sweating.

"What you are seeing my fans is what everyone in this world should do! As the saying goes, "a healthy body is the first step to an healthy mind"!... or at least it's how I think it's said… it's said like that right?"

Static again.

Sanae looks particulary fatigued, panting heavily.

"Huff… huff… huff… MISS SUWAKO!

"WHAT?"

"My shorths are falling again! Can you please put them back up!?"

"Uuuggh. Fine! BUT THIS IS THE LAST TIME!"

Static gain.

Sanae is doing the cyclette differently this time: she is doing it in the opposite way.

"Hey! You know what Miss Suwako? It's much easier this way! I could create a new style! The style of-AAAAAAAHHH!"

She didn't have the time to finish her sentence as she, as expected, ended up stumbling and falling on the ground, hurting herself a lot in the process.

Static again.

This time, she is not on the cyclette. And she is dressed differently. She is wearing a red robe, a pair of glasses, and her hair are tied with a ponytail behind her head.

"Sanae! The are more kids for trick of treat! Bring some candies!"

"Who is this "Sanae" you speak of?"

She then gets a confident look. "I'm Scribe Meredith! Of the Brotherood Of Steel!"

She then takes a bowl full of candies and runs out of the view of the camera, screaming.

"ADDD VICTORIIAAAAM!"

Static again and the camera shuts down.

AND HERE WHE ARE FINALLY! God! This chapter took god know show long for me to finish. But I suppose it was inevitable seeing it was all original content. Once again, I really hope you all like my characterization of this characters (Heh), and hope you will also like those to come. I also hope the pacing of the story was alright. That thing at the end, the "omake", was a little something I decided to had at the end of most chapters. While they ARE canonical, their mostly for comedy, with a few serious one in the future. In the next chapter, we will start the Mario and Luigi side of this story. Hope you will all like the way I write them. Considering the next chapter will be mostly mario and Luigi content, it might take me less to finish it, but we will see. And that's that. Comments are appreciated. SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
