(in which we reclaim misty lake)

"So." Remilia started, sitting at the head of the oh so long table in her mansion. "Gensokyo's enshrouded in snow and ice."

By the way, Gensokyo's enshrouded in snow and ice.

"Yes." Patchouli sits down on a chair. "Further investigation shows there are «Seraph Core»s lying around all of Gensokyo, causing the unending freeze. The plan is to destroy them and ensure this land returns to normal."

Brad closes a book. "My feeling is that the powerful girls are going to be guarding the cores, willingly or not. We saw what happened to Patchy."

Patchouli smacked shut her book. "Even after two years... I did tell you to not call me Patchy, didn't I?"

Sakuya walks in, holding a tray of varied food and beverages.

"Hmm, if we split up, we might end up dead. But where to go first..." T-Man ponders.

Even in such a room where girls are arguing left and right, the medic remained silent.

"I say..." Painter started. "We go back to the village."

The entire party looked in mild disappointment. "Is that all you can think of?" Reimu sighed.

Brad jumps up on the table. "How 'bout we... Wander around the world with no direction whatsoever?"

*-*FREAKIN PARODIES*-*

And so they did.

"Here we observe a fairy in her natural habitat..." Brad said aloud, flying across the Misty Lake.

Their plan is apparently this: Wander, wander, and wander. Keep close to the SDM, because "Enemies become tougher the more you are from the spawn, dude..!", to quote.

"Wait... Oh shieut!" Brad ducked, a bullet of ice grazing his hair.

In front of them, ice fairies emerge, numbering hundreds, all with various classes of weaponry. "W-what the hell..." Painter stood, jaws wide.

Suddenly, a replica of Cirno made out of ice stands before them. "Hahaha, so you were here. No wonder why the Gauntlet has fallen. I will kill you here, mortal."

VS Boss: Cirno Vessel

Brad suddenly changed his hanger to Flammenbügel, and holds out a rifle attached to a hanger. "Riperaga." He nodded, pointing the gun at the ice fairies.

BOOM! Pi-chu~n-

BOOM! Pi-chu~n-

BOOM! Pi-chu~n.

T-Man smacks a fairy or two. "Trumpage."

Pi-Pi-Pi-chu~n. Triple Kill, wow.

Reimu sighed. "Fantasy Seal -Spread-." And it is so.

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPi-chu~n!

"Hah!" Painter swiped the Paint Brush-

Kri~ng. The paint froze near instantly, and falls to the ground.

"Geez, you really don't know the basics of this, huh? If something doesn't work..." Brad said, his flame hanger struggling to be lit.

PPPPPPi-chu~n! The flame hanger is now switched with the Bawmber, spraying danmaku hell onto the fairies.

"...You use another." Brad smiles, throwing the Bawmber at the swarm of fairies.

BOOMBANGBANGBOOM! The hanger bounces around four times, clearing many of the fairies. "Wahahah!" Brad reached out his arm, and the Bawmber returns to his hand.

"..." Painter reaches into his bag, thinking of what to use against the Vessel. "..!" He then pulls out, the Dirt Brush.

BGM: RebelTaxi'sCrazy Halation

"Ha~h!" He painted the side of the Cirno Vessel.

Flop. The ice-turned-dirt slumped to the ground, unable to be controlled remotely.

"This power..!" Painter swiped three times without thinking.

Thud. The Cirno Vessel had a line of dirt through its body, cutting it in half and stopping the controlling.

Cirno Vessel Defeated.

Kra-Kroom! Suddenly, the entire ground breaks apart, two figures emerging from the ground.

"Geez, what does it take to- Oh, I'm outside!" Ekaj emerged from the ground, dusting himself. "...Oh, it's you guys."
