Are there problems that I should fix? If so, just say the word.
Hypotetical situations! Ho!

1. Crepuscule Cataract and Risque Enthrallment
Let's put a fight between Saber and Hibiki against Eggman and Ensa-Taya and we'll consider that, no matter who came for where, everyone has a defined and balanced power. Say that Eggman aims to shoot five missiles at Saber. If she were to defend it, nothing would happen and she would be able to stand on her feet. Maybe she would be pulled back a little. If Ensa-Taya were to use her Risque Enthrallment on Eggman, he would gain a little oomph on his power. The same five missiles would be harder to defend and would pull Saber away a slightly longer distance than normal, with a chance of only 1 of the missiles breaking through her defense and damaging her. In other words, what Saber had no difficulty to defend previously, she would clearly possess now. That doesn't mean that anyone gained the power to obliterate anything here. It's just a small boost that has the probability of changing absolutely nothing.
In the other way around, let's say that Hibiki were to deal damage to Ensa-Taya herself. She can create her own dark shield to defend himself, but it isn't sturdy enough. With Hibiki being fast too, say that 4 punches were enough to break Ensa-Taya's shield and would open a space for her to be hit. If Crepuscule Cataract is active, Hibiki would have to deal 6 punches in order to make her shield broke. She wouldn't feel sluggish or anything of the sort, but she would have to attack more of what she needed earlier. Again, this isn't completely an advantage, since it has locable flaws. Say now that Saber were to use her Excalibur. Crepuscule Cataract can't interfere on anyone's special power and just on normal, basic offense.

2. Juno-Seto and Ensa-Taya's Barrier Function
Despite they sound impenetrable, they are. Barriers only consider normal attack as hits. Put Saber and Juno-Seto against Eggman and Ensa-Taya. Juno-Seto uses Amaranthine Bastion and generates the barrier on Saber. Eggman launches 5 missiles on Saber. 3 of them are nullified by the barrier and the other 2 will still consider themselves as hits if she doesn't defend them properly. Now, Saber is going Excalibur again. Ensa-Taya unleashed her Paradox Blossom and created a 15-hit shield on Eggman. It won't null Excalibur. It will null Saber's direct sword attacks at him. Attacks that require special energy cannot be blocked by the barrier, no matter how sturdy they are.

Is this good, @RolePlayerRoxas and @VitaVitaAR?
I did edits on Ensa-Taya. She is no longer able to inflict any ailment.
Out of the Schwarzkreuz, the next ones to appear will be Lecht and Rink Refraktia. But they'll come later, once Lilly vanishes. If that's the case, I can pit him against Eifer.

Zatracenie: What the fricking- GAAAAH!!

Magio: Did that do it?

Lucifer: ... No. Look right there!

Looking at where he pointed, there she was. It was only an afterimage that had been shot.


Zatracenie: ... You're so full of yourselves...

Magio: You have to be joking...

Jin: Why?! That was a direct hit!!

Zatracenie: Anything direct becomes grazeable when you lived in a land of danmaku. Don't pretend that you three don't know... Keyblader, black-and-white and mask youkai.

Magio: E-Even if we did learn things there, dodging such a precise shot is-

Zatracenie: Directly possible. More or less, since I've evaded it by a hair's graze. If I didn't created that afterimage at the right second...

Kokoro: This is unbelievable...!!

Zatracenie: Unbelievable is how weak this folly is. And I'm growing tired of it. Now excuse me as I'll-

*BGM stops*

Azure: Enough... I had enough.

Zatracenie: That voice...

Azure walked forward. She stood between Zatracenie and the others.


Azure: I am here now.

Zatracenie: Azure! Oh devils, I've been so worried! Thankfully, you're OK!

Azure: ...
Zatracenie: Let's go back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. We can have tea once we get there.
Azure: ... No...

Zatracenie: Hmm?

Azure: I'm not going!!

Zatracenie: Azure?!

Azure: I... made a contract... I am now a Summon Spirit!

Zatracenie: ...

Zatracenie: Why did you became one of them?! Why?!

Azure: This is my wish! My dream! I can finally help someone! For all those years, I wanted to be useful to someone! And now I can!

Zatracenie: So... that's your conviction...?!

Azure: Z-Zatracenie... please...

BGM: Shadows of the Labyrinth


Zatracenie: ... I'm sorry for this...

Zatracenie: DIE!!!

Zatracenie swinged her scythe and sent a powerful dark slash towards Azure. She tried to defend it with her shield, but it eventually broke and she was hit. The slash sent her flying, but Lucifer managed to catch her in time.


Lucifer: Gotcha!

Magio: Azure, are you alright?!

Azure: ... Why... why is she so... against it... against my dream...?!

Azure fainted. Zatracenie kept walking towards them. Her aura was growing more and more as the hatred she had for Summoning had grown even more.


Zatracenie: Just give her... it'll be painless...

Magio: As if!! I'm not letting you-

Kokoro: We're not letting you get near her!!

Zatracenie: Then you all will DIE!!!

World Crossers Guild: Main Lobby

???: AAAAAAAAAUGH!!!

One of the mercenaries fell right in front of the door. With Celeritas transformed into a knife, Seraph entered the building.


Seraph: An invasion? How funny. This brings back memories. Honestly, I should reconsider the moment I decide to take my walks.
DUST Soldier A: That kid's power level. It's big!
DUST Soldier B: Get him!!

The soldiers went directly at Seraph. First, he went at one of them and stabbed his shoulder. To finish it, he kicked a nerve and dropped Soldier A unconscious. Then, Soldier B tried to shoot him with the shock gun, but Seraph evaded the bullets and shot the knife at his knee. Once it hit, he knocked him out with an elbow in the neck.


Seraph: Good thing I brought backup. Reisen.

Reisen appeared right behind the others.


Reisen: See if you can find anything under this lunacy! Ultrared Field!

With her power, Reisen enveloped the entire lobby with her field, except for Alty, Silvy and Seraph. She and the others had become "invisible".

Dust Soldier C: What?! Where did they go- AGH!

The soldier was shot while looking around.


Reisen: Hurry, everyone! The field won't last for long!

Spring Zone: Hakurei Shrine


Reimu: Sakuya, we have decided. We're going.

Sakuya: ...

Reimu: Let me guess... only him.

Sakuya: Well, this is a number of guests that I have not expected.

Reimu: And this is the number of guests that will go.

Sakuya: I see. Well, maybe Lady Remilia have already predicted that. We will see how things will play once we arrive.


Spring Zone: Hakurei Shrine


Reimu: Heh. Here's to a long friendship.

BGM: The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood

Sakuya: Excuse me.

Right near to the gate, stood the maid which portrayed an air of suspicion. It wasn't clear if the people of the Scarlet Devil Mansion were allies or enemies.


Reimu: So what do you want? You wouldn't come here without a reason, would you?

Sakuya: Ah, correct. Lady Remilia has asked me to escort him to a meeting with her.

Reimu: Judging by what I can tell, even if it's not much, he doesn't seem to go with you. And I'm telling you right now, if you try to use force-

Sakuya: Why would I even bother to fight you both? That's not what I came here for...

Despite her words seemed truthful, it was hard to belie in Sakuya's calmness. She can be quite reckless when it comes to requests from Remilia.


Reimu: ... Sakuya, clear me up on one thing. You all from the Scarlet Devil Mansion... are you all allies or enemies?

Sakuya: If I were to tell, I would call ourselves a Lawful Neutral group.

Reimu: So you don't want to interfere, yet here you are. What is even going on with Remilia?

Sakuya: We are but mere bystanders. Our aid can only be in low portions, else we leave our posts and cause distortions in the balance of destinies.

Sakuya: I'm well aware of how you all are cautious of us. I assure you, we come in peaceful manners.

Reimu: For "mere bystanders", you guys do enjoy interfering. And why leaving it as a mystery?

Sakuya: If that's the case, then I shall tell you. The information Lady Remilia has is regarding the conditions of the girl who suffers of a dreadly "comatose".

The tone of Sakuya's voice gave Reimu a slight tension. The shrine maiden stepped forward, somewhat worried about the information that Remilia seemed to have about Mina.


Reimu: Hold on... why did you said that in a tone as if you knew what truly happened to her?!

Sakuya: Do you really wish to know?

Reimu: OF COURSE I DO!! It's partially my fault for that to happen!

Sakuya: I suppose that my mistress won't mind your visit. After all, if you intend to take the blame for Gensokyo, we-

Reimu: You're not out of this! Once we finish things with Peach, all of the people from Gensokyo will pay for the crimes we did here and that includes me too!

Sakuya turned her back and started to leave. She stopped midway and looked back at them.


Sakuya: ... I will not run away from that responsibility, if that is your insinuation.

Reimu: ...

Sakuya: The invitation has been successfully given. If you wish to come or not, that is your choice to make.

Scarlet Devil Mansion: Foyer

BGM: Troubled

The vampires watched the scene at the shrine, waiting for the answer.


Corin: Remilia, I ask the same she did. What is your goal in this?

Remilia: Heh. What if I have no goal?

Corin: Then, the necessity of you acting as an Observer fatally dwindles.

Remilia: Listen. I have reasons. Pointing them out is what's really unnecessary?

Corin: That aside, how long fo you think this "truce" will hold on?

Remilia: I have a feeling it hasn't extended to us. Since Sakuya forcefully brought Magio here and in his front, our definition of "trust" is nothing more than dust, Corin.
Corin: I know about that. Right now, we should focus at the task of hand.

Remilia: Yes, I know. But first...

She swiped her hand over the table, changing the image to the school.


Remilia: Now... I wonder how Zatracenie is holding out.

Corin: *sigh* (It makes me wonder how serious Remilia takes her position...)

School: Back Gate

BGM: Evil's Symphonic Poem still playing


Zatracenie: What?!

Magio: Here it goes! Space Sign "Astral Raid"!

Before Zatracenie could have an chance to evade, Magio went directly towards her and slashed with his Keyblade. She tried to defend, but was rendered useless. That gave time for Marisa to crash directly on her.


Magio: Alright! That must have-

But once the dust cleared... she was gone. Only Marisa stood there.


Magio: Come again?!
Zatracenie: Take this!!

Suddenly, Zatracenie lunged at Marisa right from the air. Magio was going to run and help her, but someone was faster than him, holding her scythe with his fists.


Jin: Not so fast!!

Zatracenie: More?!

Magio: Jin!

Jin: Kokoro, do your thing!!

Jin threw her balance off by punching the scythe upwards. Kokoro came under her and put a mask.


Kokoro: Delighted Lion Mask!!

A beam of fire came out, raising Zatracenie into the sky.


Magio: Now, Mana!
Spring Zone: Hakurei Shrine


Reimu: Yeah, but instead of only speaking, I'll show you.

Gensokyo: Hakurei Shrine

BGM: Border Between Dream and Reality

On the blink of the eye, both were in Gensokyo. From the shrine, at the edge of the Hakurei border, they could see the entire scenery of the world. The Human Village, the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, the Youkai Mountain... everything. As Reimu spoke, illusions of the people inside made her explanation a little more clearer.


Reimu: Gensokyo is a land separated from the world. On the Outside World, people call it the Land of Dreams. The land is inhabited by humans, youkai of various species and gods. It's a world filled with nature, where no technology has ever functioned... that is, until some people came. But that's not important.

Reimu: As you have noticed, inhabitants of Gensokyo fight according to the Spell Card rule. I am the one who created that rule, with the intention of giving a victory chance to the weak, even if it's minor. It's also a chance that youkai have to defeat me, the Hakurei Shrine maiden, in a fair duel. However, despite the name, they don't limit only to magic. Marisa easily described it as a duel: evade your opponent or be crushed by them.

The illusions fought a little under the system and then, she made them vanish. Once she explained the basic, Reimu left out a sigh, becuase now she would talk about the people.


Reimu: At this point, we're nothing but troublemakers for you all. Our power, even if limited by some system, is big. And to be honest, this power give youkai the motivation to create incidents. But trust me, you would be surprised by the reasons. Boredom, full bloom of a cherry blossom tree, a way to hide, laziness... all of those were reasons why youkai created such incidents in my world.

Reimu: However, no matter what reason it is, I have the duty to solve the incident. I'm the one who manages the balance between youkai and humans, who can coexist and can't at the same time. I have Marisa and other people to help me at many times, so I can never say that I do everything alone.

Reimu: And not just for humans, but for the youkai who actually want peace. People like Kokoro, Reisen and Nitori are people who have their own minds but strive for some quiet moments. That striving is what motivates me to keep fighting.

Suddenly, a giant castle appeared in the sky. That castle was too familiar to Ralf... after all, it was the Dream Castle, home of the Triplets.


Reimu: Then... there are the Toadstools. They came with their castle out of nowhere, floating in the sky. We did a prime investigation but that just led to a series of incidents. And this time... they were serious.


The death fog that Necrox used to kill the nature.

The eternal winter that Lilly created to ensure an ice age on another land.

Both hid the moon to stop time for mysterious reasons.

Dio was stealing souls who awaited her judgement.

Cookie stole the faith of all the land in order to cast a divine judgement upon Gensokyo.

Jin hoped to gain more power by dwelling into the subterranean.

And Peach, who almost broke the Hakurei border in order to allow their escape from Gensokyo.



Reimu: They were real enemies to us. Yukari even considered to unleash her power to annihilate them. But of course there was one person who we couldn't destroy.

An illusion appeared right in front of them. The little child looked at them and started to speak.


Young Magio: Miss Reimu, let me help! I... I want to save your world! I want to help you achieve peace! So please...

As soon as it stopped talking it disappeared. And in another blink of the eye...

Spring Zone: Hakurei Shrine

... they were back at the Spring Zone in Multilopolis.


Reimu: If there's someone we're deeply attached... that's Magio. He betrayed his own family to save us all. And he did it. That's why many of us want to help him and his brothers. Because of the big debt we have.

Then, she extended her hand, as if in a handshake.


Reimu: I have a single request. I won't ask that you do it now... but give us another chance to prove that we're not your enemies.

School: Back Gate

Magio and Lucifer soon arrived at the back gate and looked at Zatracenie coming at them. She was walking slowly, as if she didn't wanted to finish it that easily... or as if she was calling them.


Lucifer: Zatra?!

Magio: Is she the one with the aura you said?

Lucifer: Yeah, but... why?!

They moved forward and stood right in front of her. Zatracenie stopped walking and looked at them.


Zatracenie: Outta my way. I don't have business with you.

Magio: Only if you explain what you want here.
Zatracenie: I don't have anything to explain to you or to Lucifer.

Lucifer: You remember me? Well, it makes all more easy to fist you!

Zatracenie: Damnit, just move out!

Magio: Look, I don't know what do you want here but if you're going there to kill someone, I'll stop you. *calls Keyblade*

BGM: The Warriors of Hope


Zatracenie: OK. In that case, I'll stomp you!!

With a wild spin, Zatracenie lunged at Magio and Lucifer. They evaded it at time, but soon she was dashing after Magio.


Zatracenie: You're going down first, Keyblade wielder!

Magio: !!

She tried to slash him once again, but Magio evaded with a backflip. In air, he unleashed a Spell Card.


Magio: Star Sign "Five Pure Stars in the Blank Space"!!

Magio surrounded Zatracenie in white danmaku and shot five powerful stars at her. Once in contact, a big explosion happened.


Magio: Did that work?

But once the dust started to clear, she was standing right there, defending with her scythe.


Magio: She managed to block it...!

Lucifer: My turn! Meteor Strike!!

With his fists fully charged, Lucifer punched the ground and sent fire blasts towards her. Zatracenie jumped and unleashed a Spell Card.


Lucifer: What?!

Zatracenie: Darkness "Grim Labyrinth"!

She charged an orb and pummeled it right into Lucifer. Once it opened, a great amount of blades slashed him, with the last one pinning him into the ground.


Lucifer: Urgh... I can't... move!

Magio: Lucifer!

Zatracenie: One down, one more to go.

School: Classroom


Agni: I'm going too!

Lilly: Please, save Azure!

Agni nodded as he jumped in the hole, following Hugh.
I might just come out and admit that I was kinda expecting that... somehow. At the point where P4U brought Rise to the fights and UNIEL[st] has Mika instead of Erika (not that I don't like Mika, she's freaking cute), I don't doubt that games will now pull the least expected characters to become offensively active as a playable.
Spring Zone: Hakurei Shrine


Reimu: I'm not that good with topics either. And about Azrel, I'll explain it to you and to the others some other time.

She thought a little about it. One topic came in mind, but she didn't wanted to go to something serious right at the beginning. Even so, she decided to ask


Reimu: Hey... if it eases your mind, why don't you ask me about how Gensokyo and its people works? I'm pretty sure you want an explanation, especially since the Toadstools use the same rule as we do.

School: Back Gate

Solaria was supposed to guard the back gate, but she just slept instead. Not many things happened around her area, so she felt as if a nap wasn't going to bring any problem. However...

BGM: Class Trial (Odd Edition)

Ignoring the doll's presence, Zatracenie walked forwards towards the gate, as if she was invited to enter. As she walked, she looked at herself.


Zatracenie: Ugh, this form isn't any longer needed. I don't need to look like an innocent kid anyway...

Suddenly, Zatracenie stopped and covered herself with darkness. Once she did that, it bursted away, revealing another human form she created. Taking her scythe out, she kept walking.


Zatracenie: I'm going to find the bastard who took my friend from me. And he's going to pay, body and life!

School: Stairways to Classroom Corridor

BGM: Class Trial (Odd Edition) still playing

Magio ran upstairs and finally reached the top. By that time, Kai was already ahead of him, going to the classroom. But as he was going to follow him, Lucifer held him back.


Lucifer: Pal, hold up a sec!

Magio: Now's not the time, Lucifer! I'm late to class!

Lucifer: This is serious! There's another Summon Spirit in the school!

Magio: Isn't that your friend? What was her name... Azure?

Lucifer: No, not her! Another one!

Magio: So, what about it?

Lucifer: Don't you feel this violent aura? This desire to kill?

After Lucifer spoke of that, Magio felt this aura in the school's vicinity. It was demonic, but unlike Necrox's, it had something else.


Magio: Now that you mention it, I feel something strange... and it's similar to this killing desire you spoke of!

Lucifer: We gotta check it out quick! I'll take us there!

Magio: Darn it... I'm going to get a detention for this, but I'm not leaving this unturned!

Unable to ignore it, Magio followed Lucifer downstairs. They were really worried about what was this aura.

School: Classroom

BGM: Class Trial (Odd Edition) still playing

Kai hasn't arrived yet, so the students were conversating a little. Not only him, but Necrox and Magio weren't there too. While the others were calmly waiting, Azure got desperate.


Azure: !!

The aura was too familiar to her. It was something that she couldn't ignore. Her friend arrived, not in the best of terms. And knowing her, Azure had a feeling she would come immediately after Hugh, in hopes of taking his life away. When the Master dies, his contract with the Summon Spirit is broken and the Spirit returns to be a Stray Summon.


Azure: (Oh no, she's here! I have to go to her, but how?!)

She could materialize, but the only way she could move freely and not necessarily near Hugh was if he directly summoned her by rubbing the ring. Then, she immediately looked at Hugh's hand.


Azure: Hugh, please forgive me... but I need to go right now!

Azure grabbed his finger and used it to rub the ring as fast as she could do it. Then, she materialized and ran away from the classroom. Lilly and the others, who had powers, could definitely see her running, while the normal students couldn't even notice that she was there.


Agni: Wasn't that...

Lilly: Azure? Why did she ran?

Mao: ... I probably know why.
Agni: You do?

Mao: There's this demonic intent looming around the back gate. It's as if someone came here to kill a person.

Lilly: And if Azure ran away, that means this someone is after Hugh!

Agni: What should we do? Should we leave and go after her?
Kai: Ahem.

Despite how loud it was, the students kept chattering as Kai entered. He put his things on the table and was ready to begin the lesson. Lilly and Agni went directly and talked to him.


Lilly: Kai, we have a little problem going on and we need to-

Kai: The other teachers might be tolerant, Lilly, but you won't leave the classroom until my lesson is over.

Agni: Can't you feel it?! There's someone in the school and it's coming after us!
Kai: I know.

Lilly: Then... why?!

Kai: Magio and Necrox are not in the classroom. They're both capable of solving this problem. Also, shouldn't you keep the target where it's due?

Then, after pressing a button, the door immediately closed and shut itself tight. Its loud sound called the attention of the other students. And just to make sure, electric nets were activated near the windows.


Kai: You will stay inside the classroom. That's an order and I won't tolerate any signs of disobeying it. Am I clear?

Agni: Yeah. I'm just not clear on which side you are: ours or the enemy's!

Lilly: Agni!

Kai: ... Clearly we're not going to have a friendly student-teacher relationship, Agni. I don't care how you think about me, but you're not leaving here until I say so. Got it?

Agni: You... you despicable, insensible bastard!

Kai: Back to your seats, both of you. Class is about to begin.
