(Since I'm so damn pissed at the fact that this little... OM NOM NOM AND GO TO SLEEP session, is taking a little too long... I'll just make it gone and done with. Also, no, Nanaya isn't more important then all of you. Don't think that I made her superior to all of you.)
-------
The rather, exciting night of bonding with your suddenly-introduced partners, fellow humans, and eating of the roasted birds, has come to an end. With Mystia playing a prank on everyone before you slept, everyone had some trouble even going back into the shrine, well, until Mokou used Nazrin to find Mystia, and threatened to beat her to a pulp. All of you, after that delightful meal, dozed off into a deep slumber. In that darkness, there no things that went ploop or squish in the night. It was a breezy time, and peace was achieved in your dreams... Or so you think.
-Aesera's Dream.
A man, fully clad in armor, walks side by side with another man. His skin is made of pure, molten rock, he has three, vicious mouths, one seperates his torso from his lower body, the other seperates his right arm from his shoulder, and one where a normal mouth should be. With long, red teeth, he and the man in armor discuss about you. You can hear your name being said several times, but you can't make out what they're saying. The man in armor finally shakes hands with the other, demonic-looking man, and walks the other way. From the front, comes a new guest.
He's wearing a tux, and a hat. With a snap of his fingers, the demonic man summoned chairs and a coffee table out of the pitch-black space they are in. They start discussing about something... About you, again. You don't understand this dream at all. Nothing connects... The demonic man's arms changes during the duration of their little chat, forming long, rocky spikes atop his shoulders, as a pair of wings, all bony and fleshless, emerge from his back. Horns rip out from his head and curve backwards, and two more, weird protrusions appear on his cheeks. Finally, he points to you.
"You have my open-mindedness. My intelligence. My capability. Use them well, Aesera." The vision fades to black, and you enjoy the peace within your mind you so crave for...
---Vante's Dream
As you fall deeper and deeper into your sleep, Mystia's movement and sounds don't bother you anymore. The blackness overtakes your mind, clouding the vision you once had as your eyes close...
You see yourself floating, as if atop a lake or the sea. The sound of constant water flowing gives you a sense of serene peace, deep inside of you, with your longing to go home, just like everyone else. That longing, fades away. Your eyes open as you float upon the black ocean, the sky spiraling around you, as two blobs of light appear beside you. Left and Right.
"I've always played video games in this century. I thought you might like it if your powers were based on them. You should go try out Dead Space 2 tomorrow when you go home. Maybe you'll like it..."
The two balls spin around you, illuminating the landscape, and you sink deeper into the black ocean, without hesitating, you accept this, and... Your sleep takes you away.
---Newan's Dream.
You're sitting in the darkness, atop a chair, chained to it. You panic, shiver uncontrollably, shout, scream. The darkness waves around you as this happens. There seem to be walls. And they're closing in. You scream and scream, shove yourself, pulling on the chains, trying to stand up, unable to move at all, totally, physically disabled to his piece of crap that restains you. And then, light. All around you. Light...
The chains tighten more, pressing so hard that they cut into your flesh, grazing your bones, as you bleed from all your limbs, you hear a tearing sound. You open your eyes and hold back your screams of pain. The light... Is fire. Fire engulfs the walls, slowly spreading around you, forming a circle, a pentagram, a star within. Another circle... And then, the flames on the floor, burst into walls of fire, reaching up to the celling, surrounding you. Another tearing sound. It's more distinct.
The chains are gone... But you're stuck in this small room, filled with fire. You're afraid. So very afraid. Fear. Despair. Terror. Horror. Insanity. A hand reaches out from the flames, unburnt. Your only hope of salvation. You take the slim chance, and grab the hand. It pulls you. Through the flames, through the walls...
"You are entirely me. You have a fear of fire. You are scared inside. Scared deep... Treat Nanaya and Katelin well, would you?" Then, a peaceful, calming sensation fills you completely... And you drift off into the darkness.
---Ranna's Dream.
As you sleep, you imagine yourself looking up into the dark sky, looking at the beautiful stars, the birds, the far away planets that you can make out. Yes, peaceful indeed. The stars and the sky were your only friends last time... Last time... That voice told you to be kinder to others...You put your arms behind your head, supporting it as you cross your right leg over the left, still staring into the heavens above.
There's someone beside you. A man, he's wearing a black jacket, a white shirt within, and jeans. The jacket covers his face from view, but you can see, through his arms, that his skin is red. "You have my coldness. My loneliness long before. You really need to help others, treat them well. Don't you agree?" You turn to face him, and his face glimmers in the moonlight. His human face.
With a smile on his face, you begin to feel comfortable, calm. Peaceful... And you sleep.
---Gale's Dream
A dream within a dream. Koishi's hugging your arm while you try to sleep. Orin's constant snoring doesn't help too. Well, whatever. There's this constant breeze that flows through the room, so you manage to close your eyes, and imagine yourself back at home... Sleeping on your well-missed bed... Under the air conditioning of your room... With your mathematics that made sense, proper english and none of this fantasy-like happenings around you... Darkness comes to take you away now...
You lie in a bed of sunflowers, staring into the cold sky, as the moon hovers around you. There's a woman beside you, holding her parasol up above her head, even though it's the night. A hand comes down on her should and she looks up. "Yo, Yuuka." The woman smiles, but doesn't do anything. The man bends down and looks at you face-to-face. You can see his scars. Scars from the millions of battles he has been through. With two, strong arms, one pitch-black, one white as light. The woman named Yuuka bends down too.
"He's the one?"
"No, no. He's just... another part of me. The one is the part of Brother."
"I see. Well then, nothing more."
Yuuka and the man walk off into the fields together, side by side. And then, the everlasting embrace of nothingness overtakes you...
---Alyssa's Dream
Alice and you sleep in two seperate futons, next to each other. Alice has Shanghai and Hourai by her side, while you have Mira. The dolls seem to constantly look at each other, as if... They were talking. On both of their smiling faces, you can actually feel the happiness. Alice has already fallen asleep, as the breeze flows into the room. You blink a couple of times, imagining your little castle in England. As the little princess you are, you shut your eyes, hugging Mira tightly, as you descend into the depths of the unknown.
You awake, in a small, lonely black room, and a woman walks around you, circling and staring at you. You try to move, to stand, to speak, but you can't... It's almost as if invisible ropes have binded you to her will.
"O-Oh. Sorry about that." The binds snap, allowing you to move. Instantly, you get up, and clutch yourself tightly... Eh... Where's Mira...?
"Sorry to say... Your... other half perished. He went to fight... me... I-I didn't do it on purpose... Chaos did it..." The woman turns her head. "That other, older man's body Yukari said about, was another part of your other half... You're lucky that you wern't ripped apart when your other half died..." The darkness fades. "Little girl, I know what you're thinking. All your questions will be answered in time..." You fall.
---Rhiseza's Dream
You fall asleep next to Youmu, her ghost half providing plenty of coldness in the warm room, since yours is the only one where the breeze can't come in. The floatin white thing rests between you and Youmu, and you slowly, fall... into it's white... fluffy-looking...
You're floating in the air, surrounded by thousands of specks of light, glistening and shining.... This world is just a plain... endless labyrinth of millions of specks of light. They flare up all around you, over and over again. You stare at the ones directly above you, their marvelous brilliance emits unseen auras, that change your mind...
You think you see a man walking up to you. He walks directly past you, and a gush of wind flies by, pushing your hair back. "Know yourself. And know everything. You have what I always wanted before my ascension." You fall back down, and the shining lights disappear into nothing. You slumber.

Yuuka Kazami. Sariel. Meira. Kotohime. Kasen Ibara. Kana Anaberal. Yumeko.
They are under you, Slave. Use them well, and do not fail me. Or you shall never know life.
A black, clawed hand slams on the armrest of a throne, shaking the halls of the black palace. "This time, the real world will fall."

Back in Gensokyo...

At this time, a large impulse of energy flows into the Shrine, entering all of you and your partners, jolting those still asleep, and surprising those awake. Reimu and Yukari emerge from a gap in the front of the Shrine. Everyone has assembled here about an hour earlier, awaiting Reimu's arrival. She came back just in time. The others were getting bored. Especially Mystia. Yukari enters back into the gap, and brings out a rice cracker for Reimu. The both of them then proceed to sit on the gap.
"Right. So, I've decided. I don't want you to stay here anyone. So all of you can go home." Well, that was blunt. A little too blunt, almost as if she hates all of you. "This incident will not be resolved by me. I can't resolve it, anyway, neither can Yukari." Reimu sighs and bites on her rice cracker, beginning to speak again with her mouth full. "Sho js goh bak ang get dis ovar wif." She chews and swallows.
"Yukari's already manipulated the borders of time for the day in the real world to reverse for a little. It stops once all of you reach back home. She's already informed Renko and Maribel."
Yukari doesn't speak at all, as she covers her mouth with her pink fan of hers.
"I dunno how all of you will go back, but you better find out, and get it done."
Reimu walks back into the shrine silently, ignoring all of you and your unanswered questions.
"Mmm. Someone told me that your links will send you home." Yukari finally speaks. "I can activate your links further, but just this once. This young lady has business elsewhere."
Yukari sinks into her gap, vanishing without a trace. And soon enough, all of you have a tingling feeling... A weird... sort of comfortable feeling, mixed with the emotions you experienced when you first entered into Gensokyo. Yukari's head pops out, upside down, from a new gap that has just been formed.
"Done!~" She winks and goes back into the gap.
Achievement Unlocked!
