[Stwongest] Touhou Writing Competition- Finished

1???:"For a long time, I've been wanting to bring more justice to Gensokyo, the incidents that have happened will break Gensokyo eventually. This is why I'd like you to cooperate with me."

2???:"My, my, never thought others would see this as an issue. I do get your point, incidents happening all across Gensokyo might break it up eventually however I wonder how you want to make sure this stops other than asking me for a helping hand."

1???:"My plan so far is to speak with the more prominent leaders of certain areas in Gensokyo. I think the best is if they give me a bit more of space in their territory for me to rule. I'm more than sure that if they do this, I can give Gensokyo the back-pushing it needs."

2???:"Hhm, control you say? So what sort of cooperation did you have in mind~?"

1???:"Since you can get to any place easily, I'd like you to speak the ones in charge of the places I'll mention now: the SDM, the Netherworld, the Eientei residence; last but not least, the Moriya Shrine. I want you to ask for their cooperation, are you willing to help me with this?"

2???:"Mhm, sounds rather interesting I must say. It would be an amazing occasion to use to tease them all for a bit again, you can count me in~"

1???:"I would rather not see you teasing those who I need to make Gensokyo a better place, my thanks are in advance for the help that will be given."

2???:"That's fine, I'll be sure to report you once I'm done. I'm sorry to tell you that I need my sleep now, so I'm leaving now."

*suddenly one of the mysterious characters leaves the scenery, it all became silent and so.. So the plan was put into action.*

*About a month later.. At Marisa Kirisame's house."

Marisa: Uwaahh.. I overslept once again, now that I remember.. It has been 10 years since she said that, something is certain to happen soon.. I just can't forget it; I keep dreaming about it, guess I got to deal with it for a bit.

Marisa: Soon I'm about to get a visit from Nitori which should've gotten my upgraded Mini-hakkero ready by now, I just can't wait to see the firepower it'll produce!

*About 20 minutes later.*

:"Mariiisaaaaa!!! Open the door already!!! Are you deaf or something?!??"

Marisa: Oh snap! I totally forgot to check on the door before heading to my mini garden for breakfast.. I'M COMING!!

*Marisa got to the door and opens it from the inside of the house.*

Nitori: Jeez Marisa, that took you long enough, I've been here for ten freaking minutes!!

Marisa: Sorry, didn't notice due to breakfast. Get inside da ze~

*Nitori walks through the hallway to the living room with Marisa.*

Nitori: Jeez, you should really be less careless.. Anyways I've gotten the upgrades for the mini-hakkero done. Care to hear what I've upgraded?

Marisa: Nitori.. Didn't I give you strict orders to upgrade only what I want to see upgraded?

Nitori: You did, but a few additional features are always nice, don't you think so?

Marisa: Mhm, well go ahead and show me the improvements.

Nitori: Well, instead of absorbing only magical power it can now also absorb emotions to fire at will, also I've given your mini hakkero mini angel-like wings to fly next to you.

Marisa: What.. Can I see my mini hakkero now?

Nitori: Sure, I'll let it fly to you to demonstrate the mini angel wings!

*As Nitori's eyes sparkle with the brimming motivation that she feels when she speaks in a manner many will see as self-satisfactory, the mini hakkero flies towards Marisa at a god-like speed.*

Marisa: HYACK, THAT THING IS COMING AT ME DA ZE. MAKE IT MOVE SLOWER YOU IDIO- I-it just stopped in front of me..

Nitori: Who were you about to call an idiot? I only sense a genius in front of you who has added a heat-sensor to the mini hakkero!

Marisa: What.. That almost gave me a heart attack, you should've told me...

Nitori: Huh, wasn't it obvious? It's not like I'd let any of my inventions do weird stuff like crashing into you with an unrivaled speed!

Marisa: Well, with your inventions we honestly never know ze~

Nitori: ... Just be happy that I improved your mini hakkero already.

Marisa: I'm happy, just close to developing fear for things that fly fast thanks to that.

Nitori: Why do you participate in so many danmaku battles then..

Marisa: That's different! Honestly, don't compare apples with potatoes!

Nitori: .. B-but it's pretty much the s-*before Nitori could even continue with talking Marisa did put her hands on her ears to make sure she wouldn't hear any of it anymore.*

Nitori: H-hey that's very childish..

*And so the chatter between the 2 continued for a while, it took until midnight until Nitori decided to go.*

Nitori: Well, I'm off to home now. Before I go, have you heard the Moriya Shrine is currently in negotiations?

Marisa: Huh, to be honest I don't really care, those Moriya's can do whatever the heck they want.

Nitori ...As Expected of you, sorry to bother you with this, I'll make my leave now.

Marisa: Alright, thanks for upgrading my mini hakkero; have a safe trip!

Nitori: Ah, thanks. I'll head for the door so bye!

Marisa: bye!

*after Nitori did head for the door and then leave, Marisa decided it was about time for her to fall asleep.*

*At midnight 2 mysterious characters are once again discussing their matters together, this time close to Marisa's house.*

2???:"My, my, the Moriya's are more than willing to help. As long as their religion will be supported when your plan works."

1???:"Ah, that's good to hear. Did the SDM and the Netherworld agree yet?"

2???:"The Netherworld did agree, the SDM on the other hand doesn't seem to agree very easily on it. Remilia seems to want a "blood-contract" in exchange for help."

1???:"A blood contract, mhm.. As expected of Remilia, the SDM seems to have their own concerns regarding helping. I heard they're dealing with one of the biggest threats if there's no blood."

2???:"Indeed, I probably shouldn't speak of it as it is now but Remilia Scarlet got a little sister named Flandre Scarlet, she's very childish but also mentally unstable. I remember that Remilia told of her being dangerous if she doesn't get any blood."

1???:"I thought you had a contract with the SDM, shouldn't you hold yourself to it?"

2???:"The SDM had some help from Nitori a while ago, she made a device that changes water into blood. However Remilia told me that the device doesn't work anymore after a bizarre crash, that's also her reason for not wanting any help from machines anymore. Even though she broke our contract for this at first."

1???:"I see, they don't have much of a choice anyways, so why don't you offer them the old contract again? Remilia would dig her own grave if she doesn't agree."

2???:"My, my, you figured exactly what I had planned to do~ To be perfectly honest, Remilia didn't have much time due to some SDM matters at the moment I arrived. At the moment I wanted to offer her the contract she told me she had to go for a while, she did tell me that I can come back later though."

1???:"Then do so, for now my thanks are in advance. Also before I forget about it, 2 weeks have passed since the Eientei residence has agreed on the deal. I'll take full control of that place right away."

2???:"Ah, I'll make sure to get the SDM to agree then, I'm also entirely sure that the Moriya Shrine will agree soon enough, since I'm willing to help them spreading their religion for the sake of Gensokyo's stability."

1???:"Good, I'll get to Eientei to take full control now, once again my thanks are in advance."

"Mhm, goodnight."

*What the 2 mysterious characters didn't know was that Marisa was told about their ongoing conversation when she was sleeping.*

...(Maaaaariiiiiisaaaaaaa!!!!!!!)....(Waaaakeee uuuup....)...(Have you gotten all of the information..? Wake up then!!)..Hmpff *Aya swiftly grabs her tengu fan and carefully slaps Marisa's cheek with it.*

Marisa: Oomph!! What the.. Intruders? GET OUT! THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON TO INTRUDE IN GENSOKYO AND THAT'S M-Aya...? What the hell are you even doing here..

Aya: Ayayayayayayayayayaya!! I've been waiting for you to wake up, have you heard any of the stuff I told you when you were asleep?

Marisa: ... Since when did you turn into Koishi? Telling stuff when people sleep is strange, even for you. And I recall having dreamt about 2 shady characters conversing about.. Gaining might in Gensokyo?

Aya: Yeah, then you must've gotten everything I told to you. Haha! This makes an awesome scoop for tomorrow's Bunbunmaru! I can really see it: "Reporter speaks to sleeper; sleeper remembers everything!"

Marisa: Aya.. Please stay on the damn topic ze~

Aya: Err, sorry. It's hard getting a good scoop these days. Anyways, I think I saw one of the 2 people.. If I saw it correctly then one of them was no one else than Yukari Yakumo!

Marisa: ...Yukari? That makes sense, actually.

Aya: How rude! Aren't you any happy that your everyday supreme reporter has figured this?!? Seriously, damn rude.

Marisa: Aya, quit it. First of all, why the heck are you randomly waking me up for something I got nothing to do with?

Aya: Well, remember that Reimu left for a vacation a while ago with Yukari's help? I heard she was spotted in the outside world.

Marisa: H-how did she even get spotted there..

Aya: An old Tengu's secret.

Marisa: I knew you were old ze~

Aya: Not me you idiot! *Aya's facial expression seems to turn into rather annoyed.*

Aya: Anyways, it's about time that I tell you what I think that is happening.

Marisa: Go ahead, it's not like I need to sleep at this hour anyways.

Aya: Mhm, Well.. I've observed a few of the conversations from afar, too far to get a good vision on the perpetrators other than Yukari.

Marisa: So..

Aya: Let me finish, damnit! Anyways, the conversations all seem to lead up to some plan to take over Gensokyo.. Now that Reimu's away you're the only person to solve this incident! Besides that now that I've found you I can get myself a big ol' scoop!

Marisa: Why, why didn't I expect this right away?

Aya: Do whatever you can't do later. Anyways I'm planning to gather more information, what're you gonna do?

Marisa: Not much, honestly..

Marisa: Maybe if I knew something to do, without Reimu it's so boring. However Nitori did mention negotiations with the Moriya Shrine a while ago, I might want to check on that..

Aya: Ah yes, gather information there tomorrow! I'll make my leave now *Before Marisa could say bye to the ever so arrogant tengu reporter, she flew away at an enormous speed shouting "ILLUSIONARY DOMINANCEEEEE!!!!" very loudly."

Marisa: Will that tengu ever learn? Mhm, time to get some more sleep since it's just damn late ze~

*The next morning.*

Marisa: Uwaah... Seems like I slept like a rose, I don't even know why I feel this energetic after such a short while after having to speak with that annoying tengu.

Marisa: I'll forget about breakfast today, I got my clothing ready though..

*Marisa dresses herself in the same dress she always dresses herself in, the Ordinary Witch dress.*

Marisa: Time to grab the broom and say wroom! I'll get there in a fraction of a second!

*as Marisa cheerfully grabs her broom, she's already thinking who she'll speak at the Moriya Shrine and what she'll say.*

*Marisa's flight to the Moriya Shrine took an hour, this took a little bit longer than normal due to the big amounts of fairies she encountered on her way to the top of the mountain."

Marisa: Ah, I've finally arrived. That were a lot of fairies though, some of them seemed to've gotten some vague danmaku spamming techniques, I can only remember one incident in which they did and that's... Huh.. Which incident was it again?.. Didn't I dream about this a while ago?.. I-I don't even know anymore..

*Marisa's lands on her landing place, next to the Moriya Shrine's donation box."

Kanako: Is that you Marisa? Have you finally decided to honour the great gods?

Marisa: I'm actually here because I got a few questions about the negotiations.

Kanako: I see, I'm sorry but those're private. I don't really see your reason for wanting answers for something you got nothing to do with. Enlighten me, right now.

Marisa: Jeez, no need to be that defensive ze~ I was just wondering what they're about.

Kanako: Oh, someone is very interested in our help to hold Gensokyo stable; has interest in our religion, that's all.

Marisa: .. Huh "hold Gensokyo stable" Could you please explain me a little about this?

Kanako: As I've said, this is pretty private. Consider it as a holy gift of mine that I already told you about those details.

Marisa: Jeez, you certainly are a strict one, eh Kanako?

Kanako: I sense that you have no interest in worshipping us yet, if you make your leave as fast as possible I'll reconsider giving you reasons to join.

Marisa: I'm sorry Kanako, I honestly am not interested.

Kanako: Hmpf, fine! Just know that your Gensokyo wouldn't be this beautiful without us gods.

Marisa: Yeah, yeah.. Gensokyo wouldn't be a safe place without me around ze~

Kanako: Says the thief.

Marisa: H-ack! That's just rude.

Kanako: It's true, I'm willing to forgive you but you seem to not understand your own faults in life.

Marisa: Mhm, bye Kanako. *Marisa walks away from Kanako with a rather annoyed facial expression, she seems to walk to Lake Suwa which is located right behind the shrine. Hoping to speak to Sanae there.*

Marisa: SAAANAAAEEEEE??? ARE YOU HEEEEREEE???

: Yes, I'm here.

Sanae: Pardon me, but what's your reason for being at this lake..? Normally Reimu would only visit this lake; even then that's a thing she only does a few times.

Marisa: Well, so the Moriya Shrine is in negotiations with some strange person willing to spread your religion and hold Gensokyo stable. I want to know about this since Reimu's on a vacation..

Sanae: I see, well I've been at the negotiations, since I know you for a bit I feel like it should be okay to tell you a bit about this. Have you asked Kanako already?

Marisa: Eh.. *lies* She told me that you'd be better at explaining it.

Sanae: I can see that you're lying, but I see no problems in telling you about it.

Sanae: Basically, Yukari Yakumo came to us telling us she's willing to spread our religion if we'd give her and her companion full access to the Moriya Shrine territory, not for bad reasons but for both promoting the shrine and holding Gensokyo stable.. After all the incidents Gensokyo has been through, it would only be dumb to let yourself be held back by common sense, right?

Marisa: Okay, who's this companion?

Sanae: I think.. I think that it was Shikieiki Yamaxanadu...

Marisa:.. Huh, it all makes sense now.. So it's Shikieiki.. Thanks Sanae, I'll be sure to return the favour someday! I got to go now ze~

Sanae: Ah, no problem Marisa.. I'll hold you on your word. I take that you're going to speak the yama about this?

Marisa: Yes, this time I'm very fast with it. I hope that I can solve an incident before it happens.

Sanae: Huh, is that the sole reason? Are you honestly willing to pull down the Moriya's Shrine's reputation for that?!?

Marisa: What are you talking about, giving the damn shrine area away to Shikieiki? She always lectures about what people do wrong! I doubt you'd get it back, besides she'd probably lecture about the many wrong things about your religion anyways.

Sanae: ..Huh, What did you mean with that?

Marisa: Ah, sorry! Complicated story, I'll tell you it a bit later. I'm sorry but I really got to go now!

Sanae: Ah.. Bye Marisa.

Marisa: See ya Sanae.

*Marisa runs away to the Moriya Shrine's donation box, this time she doesn't do it to steal donations but to grab her broom; to take a flight to Higan.*

Marisa: I've been flying for four hours now, the enemies are really tough.. A few almost walled me with their danmaku techniques; what the heck is up with big fairies using spellcards all of a sudden?!?

*It took Marisa about 2 hours more than that to get to the Higan, there she was.. Under the withering cherry blossoms she stood, Shikieiki Yamaxanadu.*

Marisa: So.. You. All the talk was about you trying to take areas in Gensokyo for "stability".. I've been very fast this time, I didn't need Aya and I hope I can resolve this with words.

Shikieiki: Very well, I didn't quite know that anyone knew of this. I could've expected it from the thief that stole more than just items, you stole a location in hell as your set-end destination too.

Marisa: Shikieiki I'm not in the mood for your lectures! I honestly am not in the mood for them! Just tell me why you're doing all of this alre-*Shikieiki raised her Rod of Remorse*

Shikieiki: Silence! It doesn't matter what you had been planning to do, your whole research is probably wrong anyways.

Shikieiki: I wouldn't like to see a thief as the new protector of Gensokyo.

Marisa: What the.. Hey, Reimu's still alive you know!

Shikieiki: These days Reimu goes on vacations all the time thanks to Yukari, she's too careless to take care of Gensokyo.

Shikieiki: That's why I'm currently busy sending Yukari out for negotiations. I want to make Gensokyo a safe and stable place.

Shikieiki: I don't need you to interrupt our business, one of the reasons why I'm afraid you just came due to the date of your final judgement.

Shikieiki: Remember ten years ago? I'm very sure Komachi told you you'd live for 10 years atleast. But do you know what would happen after it?

Marisa: Wait what..? UGH, so that's what I had forgotten..

Shikieiki: It's because this would be your final judgement, I don't know what the result will be. So do you.

Shikieiki: However, you've found out that I'm the true "perpetrator" behind this incident this far, even though I've been fixing up what a lazy shrine maiden has left us with.

Shikieiki: I'm willing to give up on my plans if you can get a good final judgement, for this you'll have to win in a danmaku battle against me!

Shikieiki: After all, I want stability. I know you've participated in incident solving just like Reimu used to do years ago, that's why I'm giving you this one of a kind chance.

Shikieiki: Do you manage to fail on the other hand, then you'll be sent to hell. No exceptions!

Marisa: I don't.. I just don't get it anymore, so you've been discussing a plan to "stabilize" Gensokyo for months just to give up if I can pass a judgement?

Shikieiki: I'm a clear judge, I know that I've done my work. But I do my work for just one thing, to make sure Gensokyo will remain safe and stable. I do believe your case is 2-sided, Yes. I do believe you'll be sent to hell for the thievery you've committed in the past, however you've done a lot of good things too. This is why I'm offering you this chance.

Shikieiki: We're more than needing people like you to hold Gensokyo safe, I thought there was nobody left so that's why I did do plan B already. I'm willing to stop plan B in case you've proven yourself to be worthy of being Gensokyo's new defender.

Marisa: Quit the lecture already, Lets get over with this.

Shikieiki: I didn't yet point you on your faults that much so I was offering you something, not lecturing you.

Marisa: Doesn't matter, you're just as annoying this way. I'm sorry but I'd rather fight now.

Shikieiki: I suppose there's no learning for you, but I can agree that we should just start this now. If you manage to win I'll tell Yukari to stop the negotiations.

Shikeiki: This time, you can change your ever so bad-looking future into something bright, this is a reason to fight for Marisa. You can stop an incident before it even happened, so I expect you to do your best.

Marisa: Alright, ready for a danmaku battle?

Shikieiki: Yes I am.

*Shikieiki flies up to the sky and starts shouting one of her spellcards.
Shikieiki: "Remorse Rod of Justice - Eternal Justification!"

*Shikieiki quickly begins to spawn dozens of Remorse rods that're thrown as clusters towards Marisa.*

Marisa: Ze~ seems like I'll just have to do my usual dodges so lets se-Wait a second.. SERIOUSLY? NO GAPS?!?

*Love Sign "Master Spark"*

Marisa: WHOA!!!.. My Mini Hakkero's firing a much bigger blast than it usually does, and I can actually move around with it.

Marisa: .. Wait a second, those wings.. Do they possibly allow my mini hakkero to move towards the yama?..

Shikieiki: That's a rather big blast, did Nitori perhaps toy around with your mini hakkero?

Marisa: Huh? You weren't hit?

Shikieiki: Of course I wasn't hit.

*as Shikeiki ends her sentence, she starts throwing even more remorse rods, this time a few of the spellcard fairies that appeared earlier appear in front of Marisa.*

Marisa: Not this again..

*Magical homing Missile!*

*As the fairies are about to start a spellcard in which bullets are very dense and fired at high speed towards Marisa, Marisa seems to've hitten them enough with magical missiles.*

*Shoot the Moon "Stardust Meteor!*

Marisa: heh, dodge this Shikieiki!

*A lot of star-shaped bullets spawn around Marisa and rotate around her in an oval-angle; are then shot at an adequate speed towards Shikieiki.*

Shikieiki: Those aren't hard to dodge at all, honestly.

Marisa: You forgot one thing about this spellcard!

*Marisa starts shooting star bullets towards the ground that was filled with the withered cherry blossoms, only to cause waves of rock-danmaku to come up; it heads straight for Shikeiki.*

Shikieiki: Interesting, still not a problem. I'm honestly still hold-*charge sound*

Marisa: Maaaaaasteeeeeeerrrrrrrr...... *FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!! The big spark engulfs Shikieiki completely* SPAAAAAAAAARRRRRKKKKK!!!!

Marisa: Damn, Nitori you're a genius. Seriously, a mini hakkero with wings.. Hehe.

Shikieiki: U-ugh... That did hit really hard, I give up. I honestly give up now.

Marisa: E..Eh? This fast?

Shikieiki: It seems like I just can't dodge like I used to do ten years ago, I think that I have to relearn that skill for a bit.

Marisa: I see.. Did I pass the judgement now?

Shikieiki: Yes, positively too. It's remarkable how fast you found out about this, I called this all an incident a bit earlier because you're wrong with that.

Shikieiki: It's not an incident yet, I just wanted to stabilize Gensokyo before an incident would happen, much like you did by being very fast at this. You still lack being capable of holding back though.

Marisa: Are we going to stop bashing me around? I've won, just do as you said and quit the whole plan!

Shikieiki: Alright, you're now Gensokyo's official defender. Also, you won't be sent to hell as long as you stay on this path from now on. How does this sound?

Marisa: More than amazing, I'm going home now though..

Shikieiki: Thanks for your dedication, I'll stop Yukari's negotiating for me now.

Marisa: Ah, bye.

Shikieiki: Bye, hope we'll speak soon enough.

Marisa: Yeah, we probably will (Even though I honestly don't want to speak to you in a thousand years.)

*As Marisa flies away using her broom, thinking she didn't need that arrogant Tengu that much; how Nitori's creativity is actually very awesome.. She thinks about how Gensokyo has changed in a place in which everyone contributes to certain events, if it may be an incident or not. Gensokyo's residents are all connected in some way, even the lazy miko which's taking a vacation in the outside world.*
