The two Gods; In their own aspects, along with the embodiment, strode out of Eientei, being lead by Tewi. The rabbits in the way part and bow slightly to their visitors, before resuming position. The area outside of Eientei seems to have been cleaned. The black ooze from earlier is gone, along with the other decomposing items. It basically looks like a more eerie version of how Eientei used to be now. The path is clear. Kanako looks into the sky. It's almost afternoon, and the sun seems to be rather strong. And red. Just like how the scarlet mist incident covered Gensokyo into an eternal, red night, the sun is glowing with that same intention. But it's almost like it's screaming in pain.
"Something's wrong." Kanako says, looking around cautiously. Tenshi looks back, the bunnies looking at the trio in confusion. They've been standing there for awhile now. Aesera walks to one of the bunnies, beginning to sweat from the heat.
"Was the sun always like this?"
The rabbit shakes her head, moving back to ask the rest of her rabbit-team. She soon returns to Aesera and shrugs her shoulders. Reisen emerges with Mira alongside.
"Mira. I see you're well."
"Aesera." Reisen says.
"Hmm? I don't remember I told you my name, Reisen."
"Why are you sweating? It's night time."
"Wait, what?"
"The sun... You can't see the sun?"
"I see a white moon. Nothing else."
Aesera runs towards Reisen, forcefully grabbing her arm and pulling her towards Kanako and Tenshi, who are still looking at the sun. Near the group and on the ground, Aesera points up into the sky, while Reisen fidgets and attempts to free herself.
"Look."
"I-I Do-"
"Can you see it Reisen?"
She's silent.
"...Reisen?"
"I don't understand. It's night. It has been for the past few hours. I don't understand." Reisen frees herself from Aesera, looking directly at the blazing sun. She begins to sweat too from the unbearable heat that flows from the sky to the earth. Reisen pulls out a watch, seemingly like a Rolex one would get from the outside world, before taking out another pocket watch. The pocket watch says Midnight. The modern watch says Noon.
"Gensokyo... Is merging?" Reisen drops the two objects in her hands, gripping Aesera's shoulders and shaking her violently. "Human... Do you know what this means?"
"You said Gensokyo is merging with the outside..."
"Time! Time! Like how Master and the Princess is Timeless, Time is being ripped away from the world! The border is dying! There will be no Gensokyo if this keeps up!"
"..."
"Master has a plan. A plan for this. Like when the princess was being hunted down! The plan is the same! We can delay the border's death. Go. Go do whatever you must. I pray we make it in time."
Reisen turns and dashes off into Eientei, every other rabbit following her inside too. The doors slam shut. Purple energy glows from the cracks. It's sealed up.
Kanako and Tenshi overheard Reisen's outburst. They run towards Aesera, one sighing and the other just is silent.
"Let's get to Hakurei Shrine. Now."
"We can get there by air. Let's go."
Tenshi interrupts by putting her hand forward. "Or, we can let the earth bring us there. It's much faster."
"Well then, let's not waste time."
The earth shudders and splits as Tenshi waves her hand, the sword hilt appearing in her grasp. Orange light bursts from the hilt, revealing her sword. With a few waves, keystones break free from the ground and lift the trio up, before red light swallows all of them along with the keystones. Aesera and Kanako shut their eyes, the bright light almost as bad as staring into the sun.
As the light fades away, they open their eyes. Hakurei Shrine.
"Keystones, gotta love them."
Aesera turns towards the direction of Eientei, noticing a bright purple beam leading up above the clouds. The sun disappears from view. Gensokyo turns dark. Time begins to move.

Sakuya, Koakuma, Patchouli and Flandre remain in the Hakurei Shrine. Cirno has somehow fled. Note that none of them are Corrupted.

The black, toothed blob was just covered with insects. It didn't bother to kill them or even notice them. Wiggle took off, leaving the blob alone with it's insect friends. Slowly, it begins to absorb the insects, taking a part from each of them. the blob morphs, twists, contorts, pukes black ooze, in horrific and disgusting manors, the blob somehow metamorphs. In it's place is a six-legged, tentacle-armed abomination. Around the size of a horse, it's insect-like mandibles split open to reveal it's same, arrow-like black head. It screeches and flails it's tentacle-arms, before retreating into the forest. It seems... pleased with it's new form. So great, Wiggle just made a monster.
Vante manages to look back before the beast took off, and just sighs and facepalms. Mystia and Wiggle soon catch up with Mokou and Vante. Akyuu was now in Mokou's arms, and Mystia was almost crawling to Vante when she landed. She's really exhausted too. Hell, she would'nt be awake right now even if the sky turned dark! A flash of purple energy launched itself up from the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. Soon thereafter, the sky turned black.
Mystia's face hit the ground and she began to whine. What a ragtag bunch.
(It's small because Vante has to answer this)
As Mystia and Wriggle begin to stir up a scene, Mokou looks in their direction, a blank expression on her face.
She watches as Wriggle lures more chaos into the village. A faint hint of irritation flashes across her face, but soon vanishes.
"So Vante" She starts, turning her face back towards him. "I'll be taking Akyuu somewhere safer alright? She's not strong 'nough to get away from these bastards" Mokou says as she walks over and kneels beside the child. Mokou carefully looks over Akyuu's bruised body for any cuts and signs of possible corruption.
GYMO9/Sonae/Orphea can bunny any of the characters in the shrine. And I don't really have to reply unless you guys set off. Alice/Alyssa will eventually go to Makai, or something, and Newan/Nazrin will eventually go to Hakugyokuro. I'll bunny the SDM group soon thereafter and send them back.
