Chapter 2: The First Encounter

[Hakurei Shrine~Back]

Reimu was exiting the training hall with a big, satisfied, smile on her face. As she headed for the front of the shrine she notices the evening colours of yellow, purple, orange and red adorning the shrine and the sun going down, night was starting to fall. In the front part of the shrine she notices a girl (14 years old) wearing a more traditional shrine priestess outfit and long purple hair adorning her head and brown eyes that shine with innocence yet showing maturity, Reimu's smile of confidence turned into a smile of happy relief.

Girl: Sis! You came back! Where were you?

Reimu: Oh, I was taking the trial to become the shrine priestess, but I ended up as just a protector of the capital.

Younger Sister: Huh? Why?

Reimu: I do not know. Maybe you are the chosen one Akiko.

Mother: My dear, you must be tired from that fight with the Shingyouku.

The woman (26 years old) that spoke up was wearing an outfit that looked like Akiko's. But was a bit shorter than Reimu and a bit taller than Akiko, her face showed the amount of experience she had and her brown eyes showed kindness and knowledge, this was Reimu and Akiko's mother Kaya. Reimu was tired but in the distance she saw that something was wrong. Red mist was covering the skies above the lake.

Reimu: No I am not. I feel alright, hey mother may I take a stroll onto the human capital?

Mother: You may, but take care of yourself. But I doubt you won't.

Reimu: Well I'm off!

With that Reimu took off and descended the stairs leading up to the shrine. In the road in the outskirts of the shrine, the area feels a lot darker than usual. And then she hears a laugh.

Voice: Huhuhu you'll be my next meal foolish witch...

Girl: Sorry bitch, but I have important shit to do so get out of my fucking way!

Reimu: Hey! Get out of there it's dangerous!

Girl: Dangerous? No shit! Of course it's dangerous! For her! Just watch!

Now that she noticed, the girl Reimu was observing was shorter than herself and was wearing a strange, black dress with an apron on top, she also had a black hat covering the top of her weirdly green hair that reached her legs. Ignoring her looks, the girl was charging what appeared to be pure magic energy(aka: biomagnetite or MAG for short) and unleashed a beam that shined more than even the full moon in a cloudless night.

Girl:Love Sign: Master! Spaaaaaaaark!

Demon: Wh-what!? Gwaaaaaaaaa!

The beam sent the blonde demon girl flying with the witch giving a satisfied smirk.

Girl: Hoi! You there, the girl in red! Who are ya?

Reimu: Oh! Well I'm Hakurei Reimu.

Girl: Hakurei eh? Well I'm Mizunagi Marisa nice to meet ya!

Reimu: Well anyways Mizunagi-san, what are you doing here? It's dangerous you know?

Marisa: Aww shucks, no need for formalities, just call me Marisa, yeah?

Reimu: Y-yeah. [She said awkwardly]

Marisa: Hey, do you know who's behind this weird fog?

Reimu: Not yet but, I want to find out and ask why are they doing it, according to the amount of good weighted against the bad I will deliver the appropriate punishment.

Marisa: Punishment? Who are you to judge others by your standards? You know what, forget that I said it. Also, you claim to be a Hakurei but you don't look like a priestess.

Reimu: I am a Hakurei who protects the Human Capital, that is all.

Marisa: Riiiiiiight.

Reimu: Hey!

Marisa: Just messin' with ya. You reek of Hakurei anyways.

Reimu: What?

Marisa: Oh yeah, I should tell ya this; I'm a magician so I have better senses than ya.

Reimu: That explains why you can use magic like that.

Marisa: Yep, a magician must never run out of MAG or they're fucked.

The two walked through the forest and eventually found a lake with a western-looking mansion on it's shores. When they try to approach it a chunk of ice is thrown at them, when they look at who threw the ice they find a woman who was roughly Reimu's height, wearing a blue dress, frozen high heels and a blue ribbon tying her long blue hair, she was floating over the lake and then they noticed that she had frozen seraph wings, she was a fairy and a strong one at that guessing from her height.

Fairy: I am Cirno the strongest fairy in all this universe and I ask you to leave my home.

Reimu: Home? Where? The lake?

Cirno: This lake is my home, I will not allow you to enter it without my permission. Now that I look and smell you with more detail, the one in red is a Hakurei am I right? [she points at Reimu]

Reimu: And if I am?

Cirno: Then I shall enjoy feasting on your blood and soul with some english beef.[she smiles with hunger]

Marisa: Sorry ice bitch but we need to cross or else how will we reach the mansion?

Cirno: You were going to be spared now.... You will die a slow painful death![she said angrily]

Bgm- Fiend battle(Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abaddon)

Marisa started charging up MAG in her right hand, while Reimu distracted the fairy, Cirno threw an icicle at Reimu and followed with an icy dust cloud. Reimu dodges the two attacks and tries to use the Tempest rolling slash she used on the Shingyouku but then...

Marisa: Hey Hakurei! Get outta the way!

Reimu: Sure!

Marisa: Burning Resolve: Ragnarok!

The MAG that Marisa was charging, all was sent flying towards Cirno like a volcanic eruption.

Cirno: No! Impossible! Not.. This... Time! Grraaaaaarrrrgh!

Cirno melted with the clothing left with burns all over it her dying scream echoed in the forest and in Reimu's mind over and over again. The red mist started to settle in the lake but, the two girls decided to head towards the crimson mansion without thinking too much about it.
