(A/N: the half-assed lyrics to "Death by Youkai" were totally written by me and, other than the story, is the only original thing I've added to this whole fanfic.)

The rest of the show had been a raging success and everyone was having a blast. There was just something about a Dethklok show that could make anyone have fun, regardless of species. Well, other than a certain celestial that had just terrorized most of Gensokyo and the brutal bandmates.

Dethklok had just finished up another song and the audience was going nuts for them. "Gensokyo, you're one of the most badass crowds we've ever had!" Nathan said to the audience. "Even though this place is one of the weirdest places we've ever been to, no offense, there's been enough brutality and badassery to make us write another song just because of you all. Who here wants to hear a brand (guitar screech)-ing new song!?" The crowd was cheering loud at the sound of not only a new song, but one written all because of Gensokyo.

Nathan cleared his throat. "Then there's a few things I need first. First, I would like to bring out the most brutal of orchestra players, the Prismriver Sisters!" The Prismrivers walked onstage, waving and blushing a bit at the crowd, who gave them a warm welcome. They took their positions on their respective parts of the stage. "Second, I need to let you all know that these little girls here helped us create this badass song, so after today they will remain known as the most brutal musicians in all of Japan!" Once again, more applause and roars. Nathan looked over at all of the bandmates. "Time to begin," he said to them.

Pickles sounded off on the drums and then the girls played a small rhapsody on their instruments. While they were busy with that, Nathan began spreading his hands apart, motioning for the crowd to split apart. "Last thing we need: we're not going to end this show without a (guitar screech)-ing wall of death!" Now the crowd went nuts and the opposing sides of the wall were gearing up for the most brutal of mosh pits. "This song is called "Death By Youkai." No one goes until I say go!"

A little more into the rhapsody, Murderface and Pickles joined in with the bass and drums, making the beat pick up a bit faster. Four measures in, Toki came in with a fast chain of palm mutes and two measures after that, Skwisgaar did a pinch harmonic. After the harmonic, the whole ensemble stopped suddenly. "GO!" Nathan screamed, making Skwisgaar do a mind-blowing solo and the rest of the band keep their rhythm going. The crowd yelled and did one of the biggest walls of death that had ever been seen by metal musicians, making it look like a scene from 300.

After the solo was done, the whole band finally worked their way into the first chorus. "They walk in the night/Looking for something to bite" Nathan growled. "They'll rip your skin to shreds/And feast when you are DEAD!" Skwisgaar did a tapping riff, pleasing the crowd immensely.

Lunasa looked over at her sisters, all of them sharing the same gleeful expression. 'Best day of my existence,' she thought as she kept the rhythm on the violin.

"Deep in Japan/There's a brutal way to die!" Nathan continued. "What is that you ask?" He held the microphone in the direction of the crowd, who yelled "DEATH BY YOUKAI!"

Yukari, Alice, Reimu, Marisa, and Charles stood off to the side to watch the show with smiles. "I have to admit, even with the Prismrivers' kind of musical style, Dethklok is still as brutal as ever," Yukari said.

"I have to agree," Charles added. "This is certainly strange for their music, but then again it's not unheard of for metal bands to use orchestral instrumentation in their songs either."

"But that's more common for symphonic metal bands right?" Alice asked. Everyone looked at her surprised. "What?"

"Since when were you so big into metal?" Reimu questioned. "You look like one of the last people I would ever expect to listen to it."

Alice shrugged with a grin. "I've always dreamed of using Metallica's "Master of Puppets" as my theme song the first time I heard it. I just love the creativity behind the music!"

Reimu and Marisa looked at each other with raised eyebrows. "Works for me," Marisa said nonchalantly. "Good as answer as any I guess, ze."

"Ah who cares?" Reimu replied. "We're all here to enjoy a show. Let's just do that." On that note, the five of them looked on as the boys finished their song and their encore song: Thunderhorse.

After the concert, Dethklok, Charles, the Prismrivers, Yukari, Reimu, Marisa, and Alice, along with some other people invited, all decided to head to the Hakurei Shrine to party. Lots of sake was passed around, lots of talk about the show and how Tenshi got her ass kicked just because she even considered trying to stop one of the biggest bands on the planet's performance. Everyone was having a good time, not having a care in the world about what had just happened.

The night eventually got late, and that also meant that Dethklok's time in Gensokyo was running short since they had the rest of a world tour to do beginning tomorrow. "This has been quite the experience," Charles said to Yukari. "But I'm afraid that we're going to have to leave soon to stay on top of schedule. Last time we skipped a tour date, the leader of that country was assassinated in a riot."

"Aw, poohs!" Toki whined, his eyes glistening. "This place ams so much funs though!"

Charles looked upon the bummed Norwegian guitarist with sad eyes."Yes I understand Toki, but judging by everyone's reception of you at the performance, I'm positive we will see a Gensokyo date in the future." That seemed to cheer him up, even if a bit.

Yukari looked around her and stood up. "Everyone, if I may have all of your attention please." Everyone took notice of her to hear what she had to say. "First off, I would like to once again thank Dethklok for coming here and gracing us with their performance tonight." Everyone cheered for the band, causing them all to smile and/or blush. "Second, their time is running short in Gensokyo, so I'm afraid we will have to say goodbye to them. If you have anything to say to these five or Charles, please do so now before I send them back home."

Suika staggered up to Pickles, presenting him with a medium-sized crate. "Here ya go Pickles!" she said with glee. "Some of the oni's finest sake, house recipe!"

The drummer looked lovingly at the crate, like a little kid who just got a bike for Christmas. He ran up and gave the small oni a bone-crushing hug, causing her to gasp for breath. "Holy (guitar screech) I think Christmas came early for me!" he said with tears running his face. "You bet yer asses I'm comin' back to Gensokyo!" Suika began tapping on his shoulder to let her go, suddenly making him get the message and releasing her before she blacked out.

Alice walked up to Toki with a small doll in her hand. "Toki, I know how much you like my puppets, so I made one for you," she said with a smile, holding out a doll that resembled a Shanghai-sized Toki doll. "I hope you like it."

Toki admired the doll with the same kind of love he gives Deddy Bear. "This ams so sweets! Thanks yous Alice!" He gave her a hug and placed Shanghai-Toki in his luggage right next to Deddy Bear, making him love the gift more based on the sight.

The Prismrivers came up to Skwisgaar and Murderface with a CD in their hands. "Skwisgaar, Murderface, thank you so much for letting us play with you on stage," Lyrica said. "This was one of the biggest nights of our career all because of Dethklok."

"Oh please, yous ams goods enough to keeps up with me, you deserves the chance," Skwisgaar complimented. "Beside, you helps us create that brutals song, that was our thanks to yous."

"Plush you did that weird dan-(guitar screech)-you thing to that chick Tenshi," Murderface added. "Our asshes would have been toasht if you girlsh didn't help us!."

"It's 'danmaku,' but thanks for the compliment anyways," Merlin said with a smile. "Lunasa?"

Lunasa nervously held out the CD. "We did some covers of your songs along with songs of our own. I mean, if you're ever interested in listening to it. I know orchestra music isn't your thing."

Skwisgaar took it and studied it for a second. "If you girls can plays as fast as me, I may need to listens to this and gets fasters at the solos so they're harders to play. You're pushings me harder than anyones besides Toki would. I ams appreciatives of it, thanks you."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door to the shrine. Reimu opened it up to reveal Iku standing there with Tenshi restrained by celestial shackles on her wrists. "Oh great, what do you two want?" the shrine maiden asked in disgust.

Iku held her hands up. "Please Reimu, we come in peace. Besides, milady is too restricted to be doing much as you can see. There is no threat to be seen here."

Reimu rubbed her face. "Whatever, come on in then." Iku and Tenshi found the band, who was not happy in the slightest to see the girl who nearly killed them.

"What the (guitar screech) is SHE doing here?" Nathan demanded. "Hasn't she been enough of a pain in the ass tonight?"

"I'm not here to fight you, fool!" Tenshi scoffed. "I was brought down here against my will!"

Iku shot a glare at the former's direction. "You were brought here to make amends on account of orders from your father. Make haste, Lady Tenshi."

Tenshi looked down at the ground, clearly having no interest in doing this. "I-I-I'm sorry Dethklok," she muttered. "I humbly apologize for causing a commotion at your concert and we come here to deliver a gift as a way to make up for what has happened."

Nathan crossed his arms. "And what could you give us that isn't going to get us all killed or arrested, huh?"

The celestial tossed him a pocket-sized keystone. "I'm not crazy about the idea of you five ever coming to Gensokyo again, but seeing as there's no choice and I'd rather not be targeted by you whenever you come here, I may as well assist you in travelling."

"So you give us a stupid rock? That's gonna make up for being a homicidal bitch?"

Tenshi was slowly losing her patience and getting red in the face, but she took a deep breath and calmed down. "This keystone will be used to contact someone with a similar keystone in Gensokyo to help allow access through the barrier." She handed one to Yukari too. "Now this way if you ever come back to Gensokyo for a tour, or to be your usual moronic selves, you can contact Yukari to do the deed."

Yukari looked down at the keystone suspiciously. "Why do I have the feeling that you have something else planned by doing this, Tenshi?"

She shrugged dismissively. "You don't. But I doubt I can do much since my father Lord Nai has me locked down, no thanks to you Iku," she said while shooting her messenger a dirty look.

Iku returned with a look of her own and turned back to everyone. "Rest assured that we will make sure milady does not cause any trouble to Gensokyo or Dethklok so long as we have her kept under watch. Lady Tenshi was truthful about the keystones' abilities however; Yukari and the band may use the keystones to contact each other about border crossing.

Toki kept turning the rock over and upside down, not really sure how to operate the thing. "Ams theres a manuals for this thing?" he asked. "It looks likes a rocks with strings tieds around it."

Iku rolled her eyes and handed the guitarist an instructions sheet. "Honestly, how you humans manage to survive for so long bewilders me. Just read the instructions and all should be well." Her and Tenshi headed for the door. "It's time to go, goodbye everyone." Everyone said goodbye and the two celestials were headed back out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It had been a bittersweet goodbye for everyone, but the time had come for the death metal musicians to make their return to Mordhaus and continue their tour across the world.

Yukari sent everyone back to the living room of the estate via gap. "Well boys, I hope you enjoyed your stay in Gensokyo," she said. "You made a lot of good impressions on the residents there. Not sure if "good impressions" is your thing, but it's good that nothing too terrible had happened."

"That celestial chick Tenshi is da reason why I don't go ta church anymore," Pickles snarled. "Other den that, I loved it!"

"Da," Skwisgaar agreed. "Gensokyos ams a goods place to chills out when we has nothings to do on the weekend."

"And we got to play with orcheshtra ghoshts too, how cool ish that?" Murderface added.

Yukari beamed. "Glad to hear it! So when you do another world tour, is it safe to assume Gensokyo will be on the list?" They all nodded, even Charles. She opened up a gap. "Then this is where I leave you gentlemen, good luck on the rest of your tour!" They all waved as she gapped herself away back to the Land of Fantasy.

Charles turned to the band with admiration. "Boys, I'm glad that this was a successful date for you all. And even more so that you got a new song out of it too instead of taking weeks to write them."

"Da Prismrivers were awesomes!" Toki replied. "Evens with orchestra instrument, theys were brutals for our lines of work!"

Charles pushed his glasses up his nose with a bit of disdain. "True Toki, unfortunately seeing as they're ghosts from Gensokyo, we can't take them on tour with us. Speaking of, we must prepare immediately to head to our next stop."

Nathan scratched his chin in thought. "For some reason I can't help but think we're forgetting something." Everyone else shrugged and went to go to the plane.

Back in Gensokyo's Kappa Valley, the Klokateers were being run ragged while the kappas were still going strong at work. Amid the masses stood Nitori and the Klokateer known as Dave who was on his knees.

"Please Miss Nitori, we need rest!" Dave pleaded. "We can continue this machinery of yours right away in the morning!"

Nitori excitedly showed him a set of blueprints. "Ah come on, we can get this entire thing done by midnight!" She shoved them back in her pocket. "You're all men, you can tough it out!"

Dave crossed his arms in mild defiance. "And if we refuse?"

The kappa laughed. "Did you forget we live in a valley full of highly motivated youkai? Good luck surviving the work stoppage." Dave sighed and returned to supervising his men. Nitori looked over the blueprints one more time for a giant music-blasting stage set-up her team was building. "Man I love Dethklok more for this," she said to herself. "Awesome show and good workers! I really hope they come back soon."
