Chapter 1:The Trial of The Hakurei
Hakurei shrine-Hakurei training hall
The training hall was roughly 8 feet long in it, a girl in her mid-teens (16 years old) wearing a red, custom shrine priestess outfit without sleeves and a red ribbon adorning her long black hair, is bowing to what appears to be a statue of a young and beautiful girl who had a strikingly similar appearance to the former, a bokuto in between the two on the floor.
Male Voice: You who wishes to attain this power, for who do you plan to use it for?
Girl: I shall use this power to protect the people of my homeland.
Female Voice: Then you are to shout your name and discard your old self if you want to become a Hakurei...
Girl: MAMUSHI REIMU, IS THE NAME THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME![ Her voice echoed throughout the hall]
Male Voice: Ah yes, Mamushi Reimu.
Female Voice:Are you not the one who is of impure blood? Why would you take a trial that you would fail?
Male Voice: That is both right and wrong, she may have impure blood but, she wishes to protect the people like her ancestors, we cannot decline a soul this determined.
Female Voice: Very well then, you are to take our trial and if you succeed, then you shall be blessed with the Hakurei name.
Reimu: And if I fail, what will become of me?
Female Voice: You will join the other girls who also failed this trial.......in death.
Reimu: *gulp* [shakes her head] I will not fail.
Male Voice: Oho! You seem to be confident in yourself after that, grab your blade and reach the end of the hall.
Reimu: Of course.
Reimu grabs the bokuto then, sheaths it and proceeds deeper into the training hall.
Bgm: A Suspicious Shadow(Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army)
The hall is faintly illuminated by candles but, it's brown colour and the blood stains on the ground and walls give the place an aura of unease. Reimu was unnerved by this place but she went ahead and stops at an open space.
A Zombie suddenly emerges from the floor, it was wearing similar clothing but it's skin had rotten away.
Zombie: GrArh HhhAaaAkkuUuRrrreeEeiiiII iiIII WwwAAaaNnA BeEeeeEE HhhAaaAkkuUuRrrreeEeiiiII iiIII
Reimu: Yuck! What the hell?!
Male Voice: This is a lost soul that died in this trial.
Female Voice: She died in a tutorial, how sad.
Reimu: I know how to fight so just watch.
Reimu points her bokuto at the zombie and slashes it in an old school 3-hit combo and decapitates it.
Zombie: GraArrGh! Wh-wh-wh-whrarrgh! Y-you were the.....o.....n.....e.
Reimu: May you rest in peace young soul. I vow to not alow anyone else to meet your fate.
Reimu brandishes her bokuto and gives a small bow as to respect the dead. She continues to walk the hall slashing any zombie in her path.
[At the end of the hall]
Reimu: This sucks, I hate corpses that get back up from death.
Male Voice: Fret not young one, this is your last trial.
Female Voice: And maybe your last battle as a living being.
Reimu: I prefer living, so what now?
Both Voices: YOU FIGHT THIS!
Suddenly, a giant orb with a Yin Yang pattern appears before Reimu.
Reimu: Well this is strange so I will fight a giant ball? What comes next a giant eyeball?
Shingyouku: NOT YET, THAT IS, FROM ANOTHER STORY.
Reimu: Alright! I won't lose here!
Bgm: The Positive and The Negative(Highly Responsive to Prayers)
The Shingyouku lunges at Reimu and tackles her.
Reimu: Ow! That hurt you piece of....forget that.
Reimu slashes the yin yang orb and sidesteps around to dodge it's attacks and then...
Reimu: Take this! >Tempest< [while jumping]
The attack was a rolling slash in the air and it caused it to crack and break.
Shingyouku: Oho! That creativeness is admirable and your strength is just as great as your predecessor. You truly are worthy of the title Hakurei. Come to the statue and the ceremony will begin.
[In front of the statue]
Bgm: Overcoming the Sadness(Raidou Kuzunoha)
Reimu: So what now?
Male Voice: You are to be known as Hakurei Reimu protector of the human capital.
Female Voice: Luck was on your side or you are skilled beyond your appearance.
Reimu: Was that an insult or a compliment?
Female Voice: Both.
Reimu: huh. How strange.
