Spring Zone: Hakurei ShrineReimu: Yeah, but instead of only speaking, I'll show you.
Gensokyo: Hakurei ShrineBGM: Border Between Dream and RealityOn 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 GateMagio 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 HopeZatracenie: 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: ClassroomAgni: I'm going too!
Lilly: Please, save Azure!
Agni nodded as he jumped in the hole, following Hugh.
