Title: Touhou Thread User Story Medley! ~Shenanigans of Maiden Community~
Post by: HalfGrand on April 17, 2016, 02:33:07 PM
Since the quite popular "What if..." thread has now been locked and discouraged from further such threads by the mods, I wondered what a good alternative would be that would bring the community together to participate like in that last thread but still adhere to the rules. I came up with an idea that would be even more awesome than that last thread:

Touhou Thread User Story Medley!

What we will do is write a story together, taking turns with each post to add to the story and end up seeing what kind of crazy shenanigans we end up coming up with using community participation. This will be fun!

Oh and mods, feel free to kick this thread over to the Library or Art Atelier if you think this thread is better suited to being over there than here.

I'll start the story and provide you with an example of how it goes, ahem...

...

Our story starts off with everybody's favorite youkai doll, Medicine Melancholy, awaking from a sound slumber on a particularly cloudy day on her favorite patch in the poison flower fields. Rubbing her eyes after she pulls herself up off the ground and dusting off the flower petals attached to her dress, she lets out a bright grin as she starts her brand new day. "Suzuran, suzuran! What wonders will we find in among the dust and petals that blow around in the sky?" Medicine chirped in a dopey voice. After a minute of dancing around the poison flowers in a circle like an idiot, Medicine bent down to smell the blossom of a particularly open bulb suzuran flower. "Aww yeah, that's the good shit right there!" Medicine exclaimed while rubbing the purple residue off her upper lip like a milk mustache.

Medicine walked around for a minute after that to make sure her precious flower field was as perfect as always. All looked swell until something caught the corner of her eye off in the distance. Out of curiosity, medicine flew over to the strange thing she saw in the distance.

When Medicine looked down to see what she saw, she saw it was...

It was a motorcycle, that was kicking up dust that Medicine took interest. The motorcycle had a sidecar too. Riding it was our Byakuren while Nue was sitting in the sidecar, reading a newspaper, except it wasn't from Gensokyo let alone the tengus. While at it, Byakuren took some breezes of air while looking around the scenery. After some distances, which Medicine kept following, they stopped at a random old shelter.

"I'm hungry, man. Did we bring any..." asked Nue but unable to answer it as Byakuren replies,
"That's why we're here." In Byakuren's hands were two lunchboxes. She opened it to reveal curried rice, which made Nue's eyes flash. Both of them began their prayers. Then,

"Let's eat up!"

Medicine approached them as they eat their curry. She wanted to taste Byakuren's curry but she felt disinclined to ask for some, thus she only stared at them. Fortunately, Byakuren took notice and called out for Medicine, "Come here, little one!"

First she thought of hesitating but somehow her body was driven by the heart as she slowly came forth. Byakuren gave a taste of her curry to Medicine. Medicine then chewed and swallowed the food with a cheerful face,

"DELICIOUS!!"

After Byakuren and Nue finished up their food, all in the while chatting with Medicine, they rode on the motorcycle. Byakuren starts the engine,

"See you again!" shouted Medicine as the motorcycle sped off while kicking up dusts as always.

Meanwhile...

Sudden noises were heard in the background and large flashes of light due to explosions were seen.  Worried about what would become of her field, Medicine flew over to where this was taking place. 

It was a danmaku battle between Marisa Kirisame and Yuuka Kazami, Yuuka seeming to have the advantage here while many of the flowers in their vicinity were ruined.  Yuuka claimed that it was like this before their battle began and she was merely providing a 'lecture' to Marisa for being so careless toward nature.  Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to strike, the tired Marisa activated her spellcard and "MASTER SPARK~" was heard in the distance.  Yuuka quickly caught notice and countered with her own "Dual Spark".  "My my, how very bothersome..." muttered Yuuka, finally ending the match. 

Once again turning to Medicine, she said "also, worry not.  I shall happily replace these flowers soon."  Turning her attention back to the now fallen Marisa, "now what shall I do with you...?" said Yuuka, a creepy smirk on her face.  Marisa quickly made sure to stop whatever Yuuka was planning to do and explained that something happened in the area that caught her interest.  As such, she paid a visit as a means to investigate, as well claiming that the flowers were not destroyed by her and that she simply stopped to take a look herself; in a desperate situation like this, why would anyone lie to someone like Yuuka?  Believing her story, Yuuka decided to not only help Marisa recover also join her on this investigation since it more or less became of Yuuka's concern at this point...

"Yawn" let out Medicine in a quick sigh. "I've seen so much danmaku around her lately that I would be more surprised if a cicada fell off a tree stump again. Look Yuuka! just make sure you replace those flowers that were damaged here and you wont have to see my angry face, you got that?". Such brashness, coming from such a small doll, Yuuka couldn't help but chuckle to herself over it. "Don't worry, fellow gardener, you know how good at gardening I am" Yuuka exclaimed with a wink. "Now for you, Marisa, we are going to team up like it's an imperishable night and see what on earth is going on here. Don't fall behind". Marisa stuck out her tongue and shrugged her shoulders, knowing full well not to argue with someone who just duel sparked you out of a danmaku battle. Those two took to the skies and Medicine waved goodbye too those two... for now. Once again, she was all alone in the flower field.

Medicine began to notice that her tummy began to not feel quite right. It was an almost alien feeling for her that she has rarely felt before. Could it have been what the humans call a "tummy ache"? Did the curry that she shared with Byakuren and Nue cause this strange sensation within her? Medicine grew tense with unease at this disturbance within her body that was slowly growing more violent.

"But I'm a doll youkai! How is it even possible that my body has the anatomy of a silly human? Aarrg, I feel terrible!"

Medicine realized that for the longest time, she lived off of the delicate petals of the suzuran flowers. Not too much though, or her feeding habits would disrupt the ecosystem of her precious flower field. Just enough to survive for her. Still, there was no time to idle around now as soon Medicine had to clench her butt cheeks together to stop something coming out behind her!

"Shit! Shit!!! I'm going to have to find a toilet or something that the humans use FAST before I do a projectile shit!"

There was no time! Medicine flew up in the sky as fast as her flying powers could take her and she all but nose dived into the nearby forest that was the closest thing to her flower field that she could think of in her urgent state. Minutes past as she blindly rushed through green bushes and dodged tall tree trunks in her quest to relieve herself of this tense burden within her.

"Oh look! It's a pretty house in among all these trees. They must have a toilet there surely. I gotta go NOW!"

Medicine flew to the strange house on its right side which thankfully had a window which to Medicines delight, had a toilet on the other side. Medicine, who was almost at her limit that she could stand, took irrational measures to make sure she didn't mess herself. "There's no time for pleasantries or courtesy right now, this is an EMERGENCY!".

Medicine, with all her little doll might, smashed the window that blocked her path with her bare fist. Truly it was a sight to behold for such a little doll and because her hands are not made of flesh like us humans are, she sustained no damage. As soon as she made sure that hole was big enough for her to fly through (without tearing her favorite dress on the loose glass shards that remained) she dashed like a flash to the beckoning toilet that was soon to be her temporary throne. Lifting her dress and pulling down her bloomers, she sat down and began to do something that she has never done before.

"Oh god, noooo! Aaahh, it's coming out, eeeeekk!"

(I will spare you the details of Medicines first hurried encounter with a human toilet. Only a twisted youkai would be interested in such details  ::))

Medicine, finally finished, was panting and slightly sweating from her big ordeal. "How do humans regularly go through such a routine like this?" Medicine exclaimed with a sigh of both relief and stress.

But wait! Medicine, who was still sitting on the toilet, freshly finished with her "business", noticed a shadow growing closer and closer to the bathroom she was in through the open doorway. There was no time to pull up her bloomers, she still had to wipe! Medicine was going to be caught on the toilet.

Someone poked their head out of the open doorway into the bathroom... who could it be?

Do the stories have to be long and serious?  I'm more accustomed to short, silly posts seen on sites like GameFaqs.

Get this thread full of three-word posts and it will end up the same as the "What if..." thread. Please make it long and with content. Serious and humorous stories are welcomed, crazy and hilarious ones are invited! If you can't suit yourself to the thread's rules, you can sit back as a spectator as more people join the server or ask questions.

So in a shell of whatever you like, write a story like your ordinary essay, except that logic is out of the window already.

A paragraph is fine of course, but we are trying to get rid of spam threads overall. If this isn't the thread you want it to be, that's too bad, but you can't ask it to change just for you. GameFAQs is still there for you if you need to spam.

M-My silly story thread has been broken... ;_;

But on the bright side, at least I have Tengukami's blessing that this isn't a spam thread that's worth deleting... right?

Don't be intimidated by my long, lengthy walls of text guys. I'm the type of writer that goes overboard with details and perfectionism in whatever I write but that doesn't mean that you all have to be as well. A couple of paragraphs should be fine if that's all you want to contribute. Nobody here is going to dictate quality, length or anything like that, it's just a fun game! Cripes, I think I regret now not laying out more ground rules like that in the OP.

Now, somebody get back to writing how Medicine gets off the potty!  :derp:

Ummmm... *Slowly comes out of hiding* ehhh, i think I'll try, i am not the brightest in terms of storytelling ..... but I'll do my best !

*Wipes the cold sweat of shyness and nervousness from his forehead*

With a closer look, she saw the face of Alice, whom was both shocked and confused at the sight of her in the toilet. "...what ? Why ? How ?" She then sees the broken window and looks back at Medicine. "First off, how is it possible for a doll to have the need for a bathroom ? Secondly, couldn't you have just knocked on the door and asked politely ?"

Finding herself caught with her pants down (Both figuratively and literally !), she could barely get the words to come out of her mouth. "I ehh, there uh, it's hard to explain, you see... there was this curry, and it was delicious, then i felt this horrible feeling and just had too..."

She stops when a doll of Alice's comes and gives her something. Alice holds it and Medicine realizes what it is. "Smile for the camera." Alice said before a flash went off, she takes a look at the camera and starts giggling. "Eheheheheh, you should have seen the look on your face, oh wait you can." Alice then shows Medicine the picture, Medicine's face has a mix of surprise, horror, embarrassment, and is so red one could swear she was heated up on a blast furnace of how red it is, even though she has no blood, Alice then starts pondering how both of those things are possible for a doll.

Is this good ? I dunno, this is my first time doing his kind of thing. :ohdear:

"In any case, I suppose I also have myself to blame for not keeping the place as secure as I usually do.  I was expecting to come right back so I figured that it was no bother..." she muttered as she was preparing more supplies.  While doing so, she asked Medicine if she had seen Marisa lately.  The two were apparently supposed to meet so that they could investigate that incident occurring at the flower field together.  Medicine explained that Marisa went on alone and had an encounter with Yuuka, who decided to join said investigation.  Letting out an irritated groan, Alice quickly finished getting ready and started back, hoping that she could catch up with Marisa in time, not before kicking Medicine out of the house of course...

"Gyaahhh!!" yelled Medicine as she flew out of the house. She then dragged on the ground with her face before finally stopping. She grumbled herself as she walked around the Forest of Magic randomly.

Medicine's thoughts

Alright, I should be thinking the fact that I am a living doll. Now, how did a I get a stomachache like a human? OH WAIT:

Food + Poison = Food Poisoning

Damn right, I control poison and that is bloody why. Well, I guess I should move on then.

Mind reading ability stopped

Our cute lil' Medicine decides to wander around aimlessly. On her way, she discovered youkai of various looks, although they don't care about Medicine since she was a doll after all. She also encountered giant mushrooms, which she enjoyed bouncing on for a while. Rumia watched her for a while when she passed by but she does not give a single thought of her other than thinking that she was a fairy.

Medicine then continued her aimless journey in the Forest of Magic. She then found a house, which doesn't look like a house wholly. It looked more like a shop and had a signboard written "Kourindou" on it. But something caught her attention more than the shop, it was a covered box near her. She removed the cloth roughly to find doll in the box. She picked up the box and carried it away towards outside the Forest of Magic.

The doll she carried was Annabelle...

Meanwhile, at some other place, our favorite black-white magician and favorite sunflower gardener were still travelling together to find out who the culprit that was damaging flowers was. Marisa suddenly stops and remembers. "Oh no ! I was supposed to wait for Alice ! Now we gotta go back !" As she was about to zap off in the opposite, Yuuka grabbed her dress and pulled her back. "Oh no you don't. We have no time for such trivial matters, she can handle it herself just fine."

"Then why can't you go alone yourself ?!? Let me go !" Marisa struggles to get free. Yuuka replied. "Because you are now my sidekick ever since you lost to me. And the sidekick does everything his partner says. You should..." Before she could even finish the sentence, Marisa hits Yuuka with her magical broom, Yuuka gets knocked back and let's go of Marisa. "No way I'm gonna be your sidekick, go ask Kogasa for that ! Or Reimu. Or Medicine, i dunno, now i need to meet up with Alice."

"OWWW ! That was just mean you know ?!?!?" Yuuka said as she was assessing the damage, nothing serious, but there is a print of the broom in her face. "You asked for it ! Should have let me go." Then suddenly Yuuka pays Marisa back with a hit of one of her handmade custom trowels. "YEOUCH ! Metal objects aren't allowed !" Marisa screamed.

The two continued to argue and hit each other. While Sanae, who was on a (forced) trip to get some special mushrooms by the will of Suwako, stood in the distance enjoying the show. "Maybe i should intervene ? ........nah, this is a chance of a lifetime !" While eating a chocolate bar.

Post by: HalfGrand on April 20, 2016, 03:16:48 PM
Sanae munched that chocolate bar like a fat kid getting to the center of a jam doughnut... some might argue though that Sanae has been looking a little pudgier than usual lately. Enthralled with the fight above her that was only getting more and more heated by the minute, Sanae didn't even notice that she got a gooey drip of the center of her chocolate bar on her sleeve before it was too late. "What? Nooo! I just handed washed my outfit yesterday. It's hard to get chocolate stains off white cloth... Kanako is going to make me do more rituals for this!".

"Yo yo yo, what's up dawg?".

Medicine was standing right beside Sanae without Sanae even noticing she was there. "Gyaah, don't sneak up on me like that" Sanae exclaimed after her surprised flinch. Sanae then looked Medicine up and down with interest. "Hmmm, you don't look human but you certainly don't look like any youkai I am familiar with, what are you?". Medicine beamed with a cheeky grin and proudly exclaimed "I'm Medicine Melancholy! The living doll who sends crying children to the sick bay for sleep!". Sanae looked quite puzzled at this declaration of Medicines. "Meh, whatever... I finished playing with dolls when I entered 3rd grade, children mostly play with their phones these days anyway". Medicine cocked her head and asked "whats a phone?". Sanae sighed to herself "It's something that you probably wouldn't understand, little one... Grrr, I'm still royally pissed at ruining my new clothes to chocolate no less, how careless of me!" Sanae suddenly blurted out when looking back to her stained sleeve.

"Stained clothes? I can help you out with that easy!"

Medicine began to dig through her dress pocket and she almost reached her full arm in there to find what she wanted. "Here!" Medicine chirped as she held out her hand to Sanae. "Huh? What's this?" Sanae said with a puzzled expression. "This here is some Suzuran petals I put into a small pouch. To get a stain like that out, all you have to do is get a pot of water, boil it to a warm temperature, put your sleeve in it and leave it for about thirty minutes. After that, pull it out of the pot and brush the stain with a soft bristle brush. It should come right out!" Medicine explained with a hint of satisfaction in her voice for being so helpful.

"Will that really work? That helps me out quite a bit little one. Thanks" Sanae said with a heartfelt smile. Medicine handed Sanae the pouch in her hand "Yep, I figured that out all by myself the hard way! Don't leave your clothes in their too long though or you might end up getting a rash or something, human" medicine said while wagging her finger. "You really are helpful... for a youkai" Sanae said while she looked over the pouch Medicine handed her.

"Well, I had a rough start when my day started today but I think my luck might just about change after finding this gorgeous doll near a shop. I don't mind helping someone when I'm in a good mood" Medicine said to Sanae while she brought out her doll and began hugging it gently in front of Sanae. Sanae looked down at the doll Medicine had and began to look puzzled "Hmmm, that doll seems familiar to me for some reason... It's like I've seen it before somewhere a long time ago, I cannot for the life of me remember where I seen it though". Sanae was tilting her head from side to side as she looked over the doll in medicines arms. This doll made Sanae think quite hard where she had seen it before, but something about the dolls eyes made Sanae feel a dark aura that kept distracting her.

"Weee! Did you hear that little doll? You must be famous! Maybe my new friend here is a famous doll. I've never met a famous doll before. You must be really special!" Medicine said to the doll in her arms in a show of excitement. "Maybe I saw this doll in a movie or something? Goodness, this is going to bug me all day I know it" Sanae exclaimed while smacking the side of her head gently in a futile attempt to jolt her memory.

"Well, see you later human!" Medicine suddenly blurted as she turned around and began walking. "I'm kinda lost after I had to hurry somewhere earlier so I have to head back to where I live now". Medicine turned around to Sanae again and gave her a quick wave goodbye. Sanae quickly put her hand out in front of her to Medicine and quickly retorted "W-Wait! If your lost then don't you know where your going?". Sanae felt a little tender to Medicine after she helped her with that tip on how to wash the stain out of her clothes, it was the least she could do for this little doll. "I'm a-ok human, I can smell the suzuran fields flowery scent in the direction I point my noes, so I'll be just fine". Medicine's feet then left the ground as she hovered and got ready to take flight. "Remember, don't use suzuran petals as toilet paper... both the petals and your bottom wont like it one bit". After her last bit of advice to the bewildered Sanae, Medicine was off like a flash into the woods.

"What a strange youkai" Sanae thought to herself. "She seems to really like her flowers... oh well, at least she has something to keep her busy instead of causing trouble for humans". Sanae looked over her sleeve one more time. "I'm going to head back to the mountain and try this out right away before the chocolate sets in more!" Sanae confirmed to herself as she decided the fight above her between Marisa and Yuuka was no longer of interest to her. Using her own flying power, she took to the skies as well.

"Gyaaaah, hair pulling is definately not allowed!" Marisa yelped in mild pain as Yuuka was now using dirty tricks in their altercation. "How can you say that after you just tore my blouse, you dirty theif!" Yuuka hissed at Marisa with growing agitation. "Your torn top will be nothing compared to this!" Said Marisa as she bent over and did her butt slam right into Yuukas face like she always douse in the fighting games. Yuuka stumbled a little bit backwards at this obscene display and jeered "Eww, not only are you a dirty thief but your butt stinks as well!". Marisa puffed up and shouted "My butt douse not stink! How dare you!".

The altercation continued, but now there was nobody around to witness it.

Luckily, the childish quarrel between Marisa and Yuuka bought enough time for Alice to finally catch up.  Looking rather irritated by the scene taking place in front of her, Alice finally intervened.  "Ugh, there you are.  Geez, you couldn't wait for me to properly prepare for 5 minutes?  Not only that, but you just strayed away from our initial goal and you two look like you just came back from another danmaku battle.  While I am more or less on the subject, why is Yuuka joining us anyway?" asked a very aggravated Alice. 

Upon finally calming down, Marisa explained that flowers at the suzuran field were being destroyed, thus leading to her and Yuuka's initial encounter; Yuuka deciding to join after learning that Marisa was not the culprit.  Still feeling a little skeptical, Alice sighed.  "Ugh, fine.  Just please make sure that things don't get out of hand like this again, it would be really embarassing if the tengu were to catch this.  As for you, Yuuka..." Alice said while feeling a little intimidated... "Just... Try to keep your temptations in check, okay?  I of course mean after we find the supposed culprit..."  With a rather unsettling grin, Yuuka responded with "No promises..."

After getting everything back together, Alice now joining the party, they all start back on their set goal.  Though still feeling a little paranoid with Yuuka's inclusion, Alice tried her best to endure it; they needed at least someone to make sure that things stay organized...

"Recently, a fantasy land called Gensokyo has revealed it's existence and we want to gather some information about it. Japanese government has gave us permission to send some troops to explore there."
"Who are we sending, my F?hrer?"
"We will be sending Steiner and the 12th Grenadier Division helped by the Kriegsmarine."
"I heard that there's a mermaid living there. I'm thinking of dating her, (lol)."

Since i`m mentally blocked on writing for Medicine, let`s try this. I`m writing this for the second time, first time the page did some stuff that deleted my post somehow, so here we go.

Meanwhile, at the Scarlet Mansion Library:

"Check !" Sakuya said out loud while moving her horse. "Your turn now, Miss Patchouli." Patchouli smirked. "Well look at this, you`re learning fast, this is just your fourth match." She said while relocating her King, Sakuya smiled and replied. "I have You and Koakuma to thank for that, you two were the ones who taught me." Sakuya then proceeded to retreat her horse to a safer position. "We were eager to have another person to play with ever since Remilia quit it, and you got interested into it, it was just natural that we`d offer to teach you." Patchouli said as she moved her bishop.

A brief silence stood as the pieces were moved back and forth and captured, until Sakuya`s Curiosity hit it`s peak. "So.... why did the Mistress quit anyways ?" The Librarian hesitated at first, but thought again and replied. "She was very confident and one day, or night i should say, decided to have a chess match during midnight, the first place she went to was the Hakurei Shrine, she said that it was because Reimu would prove to be a worthy opponent, but what i actually think was the motive was the added bonus of bothering Reimu, while there, she woke up Reimu, who refused because it was Midnight, and went back to sleep, not without giving Remilia a taste of her Gohei of course."

Patchouli then stopped to take a deep breath. "This is tiresome, then she got back to the Mansion and tried to force me into it, i luckily was in the middle of a experiment and managed to avoid so, then Koakuma came and offered herself as an opponent, Remilia took it, then...... let just say vampires are sore losers....." Afterwards, Patchouli moves her last bishop. "Check." Sakuya, on a half-ponder and half inner laughter state of mind, moved her horse to protect the king. "Well, that`s a rather interesting set of events, maybe i can just convince her to come back and just practice some more." "I agree." She replied after capturing Sakuya`s pawn.

Sakuya then thought a bit and then asked. "How about you and Koakuma, are you sore losers ?" Patchouli with a grin declared. "I consider myself to be fairly okay with so, Koakuma is pretty graceful in defeat too."
Then with a slight smile, Sakuya said. "Then let`s see if that statement is true." She then moved her Tower to threaten the King and said. "Checkmate." Patchouli examined the board and was split between surprise and anger in the inside, while leaving just a slighty surprised face on the outside. "Hmm, i-i guess we taught you too well...."

Is this good ? Would appreciate sincere opinions.  :smokedcheese:

"Patchouli, it's not good to talk behind someone back like that."

Suddenly, out of no where, a bunch of bat surrounded the two of them, before gathering together above the chessboard. In it, Remilia's form slowly appear, floating using the flap of her wings. Seemingly unfazed, Patchouli started to talk while sipping the tea she left on the stand beside the snack in her right hand:

"Not if the sore loser was stalking us in the middle of the game."

Intending to surprise the both of them, Remilia startle a bit and nearly dropped herself onto the table. Floating right back, Remilia resume talking, still having a bit of redness in her face.

"U-uhm...Calling me a sore loser, then what are you doing with your left hand?"

Seemingly proud of herself, Remilia pointed to Patchouli's hand, which have just finished rearranging the chessboard, and started moving the Pawn. Now reaching for the cracker with her right, Patchouli continues:

"Unlike you, I am an elegant sore loser... So, what are you doing here, waking up so early?"

"Umu...I am hunting for the Ghost of Youkai Mountain."

"...The Ghost,huh?"

"Uhu...said to have terrorizing the entire mountainside. It's interesting, so i tried searching for it at night. Ghost usually come in the night right?"

"...Uhum? And?"

"I tried to find the entire mountain, even in the Tengu and the mountain god place, but no luck... Then i tried to ask the Youkai that i picked up on the side, but it said that you can only find that ghost in a special part of a mountain, about 9 in the morning... "

"...It's weird right?"

"It IS weird, that's why I am going to find out today! Well, see you!"

Then, just as sudden as she appear, she disperse into the bunch of bat before escaping out into the window.

Continue sipping into the teacup, Patchouli moved the Rook right before the King.

"And Check... Trying to look cool disappearing like that.... sometimes our Mistress is cute like that.'

While immediately taking the Bishop to take out the Rook, Sakuya replied casually:

"She's also forgot to take her umbrella too... I have delivered it to her though."

Patchouli then take the Knight to intercept the King.

"Check...By the way, i haven't seen Koakuma around the library this morning."

Taking another Rook, Sakuya take out the Knight while itself is in the way to the King.

"Check...She must have come to that part of the Youkai Mountain again... She would have been very surprise, then."

Seeing that, Patchouli moved the King to the left, while continue to sip the tea.

"Yeah...even the Tengu doesn't said anything about that part of the mountain after all."

Then they began to have some rapid back-and-forth, while Sakuya's Rook come closer to the King one step of the time

"...It's too bad you don't come too , huh? You could have surprise the Mistress too."

"...It's broke when i pushed it a bit too hard last week. I still have it fixed by the Kappa. It would be done by tomorrow, they said. "

" As expected, the Ghost pushed you that hard huh?"

"...It's just bad luck on the road, it's not like my skill isn't enough or anything...Check"

Glanced through the board, Sakuya's King have already stand before it. With the Bishop and Knight surrounding the board, it's look like the King is trapped.

"...Guess you're also a sore loser,huh?"

Seeing that though, Patchouli bring up the Queen to take out the Rook, while standing beside the King, blocking out the move of the surrounding piece.

"I guess so..."

Sakuya then bringing the Pawn to the end of the board, then replaced it with the Queen, straight in line with the King.

"...Then I am lucky to still have this... Check, mate."

 Losing for a second time, this time it's Patchouli turn to be surprise. Sakuya then stand up and bow before the Librarian.

"Well then, I am going to prepared for lunch . Thank you for having me played with you... Excuse me."

Also in a flash, the Perfect Maid disappear out of sight. Leaving Patchouli to continues sipping the tea and having snack.

"Hm, Remi going to find it hard hunting the Ghost then... Then again, it's not like the type of Ghost Remi think of in the first place."

~~~~~

Yuuka, Marisa and Alice, while looking for clue in the Forest of Magic, found something unexpected.

A gray road with yellow line curving around the tree.

Spetacle of all kind, from Youkai to Fairy were standing along the fences, even the Tengu were watching from above, capturing the scene with their camera.

And in the middle of it...

Two four-wheeled, metal monster named car.

One is red, while the other is black.

As they came into the corner as more than 200km/h, they drift along the road , each only sepearating the fence as 1 cm as they cornering the inside.

Before they escape the corner, the red come out first, leaving the black one smoking the pump before they go straight through to the finish line.

The intense cheer of the spetacle, the shuttering of the camera coming from the Tengu.

All of it have made them speechless, as they watched the driver in the red coming out.

They said it's the Ghost of the Youkai Mountain.

It true form is... a Bakeneko in red-clothing, cheerfully returning the praise.

This mysterious bakeneko took off her red racing helmet to reveal two cute little cat ears springing out of the top of her head, through her short auburn hair. Grinning ear to ear with a fang or two poking out the side of her mouth, she made the "V" peace symbol towards the crowd and shouted a bold statement.

"My name is Makohashi Nyaano, the fastest in all of Gensokyo and once again I have come out first place!"

Aya called out loudly from above the crowd "Hey, I'm the fastest one in Gensokyo here!". She crossed her arms in disapproval and raised an eyebrow at Makohashi to give a fierce glare. "Now now Aya" Makohashi wagged her finger at Aya "That might be true in flying with those wings of yours, but when it comes to riding these iron cars, constructed by humans, Crimson Ghost is the ruler of the gravel trails!"

Makohashi pats the bonnet of her racing car, which to us humans looks like a Jaguar XJS 1980 model, but to her and pretty much everybody else in Gensokyo, it looked like a being from another dimension. The car itself was colored red and was pretty much in immaculate condition for its age. On both sides of the outer front doors however, a crudely lettered title of "Crimson Ghost" was painted by hand and under the text was a red colored Bakebake giving a cheeky wink.

Makohashi herself was decked out in a stereotypical racing car outfit, like something you might have seen out of Speed Racer. She had long white boots that came up to her knees, a tight red leather catsuit that covered most of her, a yellow scarf wrapped around her neck and a bad case of helmet hair from wearing her helmet for too long.

"Another new arrival in Gensokyo?" Marisa turned and asked to Yuuka. "Goodness knows with all these weirdo's that are sighted around here lately" Yuuka blankly retorted. Alice thought to herself "Hmmm... Crimson Ghost... I wonder if this has anything to do with that Youkai mountain rumor I heard about awhile back".

"Alright buddy!" Makohashi turned and barked at the black car that came in after her red car "You lost the race, now your going back to wherever you said it was you came from". Steiner, the Nazi army guy opened the door to his Black supped up Volkswagen racer and emerged from his seat. "Nein nein nein! The German people are known for having the best racing cars! I should have never agreed to a race with this cat witch. Germany will rise in this world, mark my words!". "Tell that to my rear exhaust!" Makohasi sneers at the German foreigner. "Tell your Few-rurr or whatever you call it that it will take alot more than a fancy set of wheels to make it in this world of no common sense. Now, begone with you!".

Steiner frowns a deep frown, gets back into his black Volkswagen and chugs away down the road... probably to report the bad news to his boss in the bunker in another world. Makohashi meanwhile keeps on appealing to her fans in the stands, still cheering for her victory.

Alice thinks of something still, pondering if this could have anything to do with the flowers over at Medicines Suzuran field. Alice thinks back and turns to Marisa. "Marisa, when you were over at the Suzuran fields, did you perhaps see anything that looked like tire tracks? You know tires right? We both saw some at Kurin's place a month ago". Marisa raises her hand to her chin and thinks for a moment. "You know, now that you mention it, I do believe I saw some black lines that had a jigger pattern to them. What do you think it could mean?"

"Take me back to the fields you two" Alice suddenly says without a hesitation. "We need to take a closer look at the damaged flowers in that field!".

Is this good ? Would appreciate sincere opinions.

I liked it personally. I kind of wished that you didn't make yet another "meanwhile" diversion from the original story. At this rate, we will end up having 50 different stories happening here all at the same time!

In terms of structure, try and go a little easier on the exposition in dialogue in your future writing. It's a bit unnatural for Patchy and Sakuya to explain to each other that they started playing chess after Remilia stopped. I mean, they both know that already so they don't really have to explain it again to each other. Set up the scene and explain that in the details instead. Apart from that, all good to me : ).

I'm gonna continue the German Expedition Team's perspective.
- - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Steiner, arriving at their team's headquarters just outside the Barrier, got out of his Volkswagen and slammed the door in anger after he got out. It took attention to a Lieutenant named Hans.

"What's the matter, General? Lost the race?" asked Hans as he inspected parts of his Sturmgewehr 44, probably cleaning each one. His friends were also doing the same though with different guns. Hans then saw his Commander's angry, red face.

"Oh yes, right! I LOST. Not to mention they, the residents, can also fly without any means of propulsion other than a witch who flew on a broom," answered Steiner in a sarcastic manner.

"The car you chose to race with has terrible aerodynamics, seen from the naked eye. By the way, why would you still race? It's not like we can't enter if we lost the race anyway."

"Oh, just shut up. She just pushed my Ego Button."

With an overview of the HQ, it's really vast. Tents were littered everywhere, with each having a unique function, either being a radio post, or a meeting room or simply a barracks. Engineers were putting up sandbags as means of protection other than bullets, even digging trenches as if they were really at war.

Opel Blitz 3.6 trucks were parked in the base and dropped supplies of rations, fuel, ammunition and nets. The barrels of fuel were then rolled into a deeply dug fuel storage, just in case they explode into inferno only the unlucky ones below would suffer hellish fire,while the rest of the HQ stays safe. They do make up a good firework show if they exploded along with the ammunition.

Other than German personnel there were also Japanese ones, but they only occasionally stopped by the base to help them either in building up or giving information on their culture, since no one wants a rude foreigner in their own homeland. Just because their HQ is far away from town doesn't mean they won't give a visit to that town. Anytime the Japanese government can send Steiner's unit back to Germany if they misbehaved, fouling their country's name in disgust. 

Maribel and Renko had suspicion on the sudden arrival of the German military. It wasn't an invasion but all German military personnel and equipment were sent to the outskirts of a presumably empty land. Maribel once sensed a magical border there but was afraid to enter, but it doesn't mean they aren't afraid to enter it anymore.

"Rumor said... no the newspapers have already put the presence of those soldiers on the front page. They are stationing themselves just outside of what you once called a magical barrier that you sensed. We didn't enter it but..." said Renko as she read the newspaper they received. But her words stopped as she realized Maribel wasn't listening, but only stared at the convoy of German trucks heading towards their destination. Renko however was too lazy to repeat her sentence and continued reading her newspaper.

Back to the Germans...

Krebs, Steiner and the officers, including Hans gathered in the command center tent, around a piece of map with a blank space in the middle. Even if they can ask Japan to scan the area with a satellite, the still-weak Barrier could still serve as something like a weak Electromagnetic Pulse, to block electronic views from space. So, they had to rely on carefully mapping Gensokyo, just like the old days.

"So, what's our plan? The shrine is here but it cannot afford heavy vehicles up it's already steep stairs. So, we set up a base here, an unnamed road to Gensokyo that no one dared to pass through before. Eyewitnesses said the cars disappeared into thin air, not to be heard or seen from again. The Police also sent some men there but ended up with the same fate. We are not going to launch a search-and-rescue operation because I believe they are now dead by youkai," stated Steiner while pointing at already drawn places of the map.

"I say we start our journey on this same exact road. I want to follow this too since... hehehe. Also don't fucking humiliate us again. Steiner," planned Krebs while changing expressions in a short time.

"What's the size of our convoy?" asked a Captain.

"Too bad Rommel isn't here and he doesn't allow us to ride his Griffin (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/96/ba/d1/96bad1a97138e622fc2008872d63784b.jpg) so we only have our standard SdKfz 250/3 leichter Funkpanzerwagen (http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/nazi_germany/photos/Bundesarchiv_Russland_Schuetzenpanzer.jpg) as our mobile command post. Steiner, you stink so you are staying here, in the base," planned Krebs though wasn't finished yet. Steiner only grumbles on the amount of hate he suffered, especially from Krebs.

"We we'll be also bringing along Sdkfz 222 (http://image.space.rakuten.co.jp/lg01/05/0000063505/49/img6a2614dfzik3zj.jpeg) as our recon vehicle to scout the road ahead. Another Sdkfz 250/1 (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-236-1036-31,_Russland,_Sch%C3%BCtzenpanzer_auf_Feld.jpg) will be included, riding on it would be Hans' unit. And finally, we will bring along a Panzer IV Ausf. G (http://www.achtungpanzer.com/images/pz3_10.jpg). We need to remember that the important essence in this mission is speed. Even though if we have a infinite amount of time to spend here, it would be still pointless if we are being a bunch of lazy-asses. Alright, any more questions?" asked Krebs after a long talk.

"I do. What will the rest of our hundreds of personnel do?" asked a Sarge.

"Sit down and wait for the next random unit's turn. While waiting, either do something beneficial or pay a visit on that town there. Deserters are welcomed to be sent back to the Fatherland, unless you really need to be in Valhalla. More?" The room went silent for a few seconds as nobody flinched. Krebs was satisfied.

"Good, we will be moving fifteen minutes from now so pack up quickly. We will not stop for things you accidentally left behind."

The high-ranking officers went out of the tent for a fresh breath of air, except for some who quickly searched their stuffs that they will bring along during the journey. The vehicles needed in the expedition were running through a quick last-minute check for any mechanical problems. As long as they aren't bringing a Tiger tank (http://www.worldwarphotos.info/wp-content/gallery/germany/tanks/tiger-tank/Tiger_tank_number_223.jpg), which was a true nightmare for mechanics, they will rarely stop on their tracks.

The exact fifteen minutes later...

Alright, let's move on!

The rumbling engines of each vehicle shook the ground a bit like a mini-earthquake as they sped down the road at the maximum speed the slowest vehicle in the convoy, which was the Panzer, could afford. 30 to 40 kilometers an hour wasn't really bad for the ancient equipment they used.

"Why would they pick us in this first run?" asked a Private in the 250 to Hans.

"I just happened to attract attention in that meeting," answered Hans. Then, the radio each vehicle in the convoy had sparked up.

"Be really grateful I chose you soldiers in this journey because once we enter, we aren't going out until every single piece of land is explored, along with the people. I lied to Steiner, nobody will be changing positions unless seriously injured. I wondered though why would the F?hrer pointlessly send hundreds of soldiers here. But anyway, prepare yourselves for the adventure of your life!"

Krebs gave a short motivational speech to all of the personnel joining the expedition. Logically, if their commanding officer already forbids any retreat, they will lose trust on them. But instead it poured fuel into the fire of their spirits, excited to serve their Fatherland once again after the War of the Hitlers.

Then, the convoy passed through the Barrier.

I have this sense that this would be cringe the hell out of everyone. I'll be dealing the main plot of my started arc from now but feel free to mention them in your arcs. Thanks Grand for starting a thread that could train my fanfiction skills. Also sorry everyone if I am being too overly complicated with the too specific military equipment. 

Also, to everyone who would like to start their own arc, run it's main plot for yourself. Don't use gorila tactics on us. (Damn I don't even know if everybody gets what I'm trying to say.)

But i have some stuff to clear up.
So in English, some chess pieces have different names ?

Turn back the time a little bit...

Medicine, after seperating from Sanae, return to her home, the field of the Suzuran Flower. Incidentally, she passed by the damaged flower where the two see saw earlier is having a Danmaku match. Out of curiousity, she came to look at the tire tracks appearing on the field.

"Hm...look like some kind of carriage have passed through here, Su-san."

As if agreeing with her, Su-san nodded it tiny head. Continue to look at it, Medicine began to ponder.

"The wheel is big for a carriage though... and then there's those weird line... "

As she closed her eyes while rest her head on her shoulder, she immediately shotted back up:

"Could it be... is it perhap from the big-faced wheel that came from the carriage people used in Hell !?"

Thinking about that, her eyes began to shine in excitement.

"There's burn mark on it, so that must be true!...The trail lead straight to the forest..."

Leading her eyes, she could she that the trail kept twisting and turning, avoiding all the tree as it head deep into the forest.

Finally can't not hold herself back, she speak in joyous tone.

"Su-san! Let find that big carriage! Maybe we could convince it to join our revolution!"

Saying such an innocent line, the curious doll followed the trail and head deep into the forest.

~~~~

Tirelessly walking among the forest (probably because she is a doll), Medicine and Su-san continue to follow the trail for nearly an hour.

By now they are probably lost in the Forest of Magic, but oblivious to that, they keep travelling until they see a strange metal box crashing into one of the tree.

"Oh... it's not the big-faced carriage..."

Though disappointed, the two of them continue to approach the strange box.

"...What is this then?... It have wheel, so it's definitively some kind of carriage, but i don't see the horse, and i've never seen such a black one before... Maybe it is the carriage from hell"

Medicine then looked to the back, and then notice some kind of word on the left and right side of the back. Unfortunately, Medicine don't really know how to read, so she can only spell it out and strung it together:

"A-U-D-I Q-U-A-T-T-R-O... Isn't it spell out Audiquaturo? Why did they seperate it then, and even adding a T...Not to mention the weird string of number below."

Judging it as just some weird human thing, Medicine decided to go to the front. Despite having the characteristic short engine cabin, Medicine still gaze in wonder about the long body it have. Though the front have been hidden by the tree, she's still made out the "faced" with it two crystal eyes and a "nose hook" made out of 4 circle.

"Hm... it have eyes on the front, so i guess this is the face?, then the long part... probably the head or the necks? But then i see the same eyes on the back too...."

After pondering it for awhile, she came to a conclusion that the human need it to have 4 eyes so that it could look both the back and the front. Patting herself for her intelligent, she then finally looked at the middle of the mystical monster/carriage.

"So i guess it is it back and the place people sit in..."

This is by far the weirdest part (to her).

She can see through to inside, but it's definitively partially being encased in glass. Inside is obviously made to have someone sit into it, but she found no way to get in until she notice the weird place on the side to put her hand in.

"...Guess it's some type of holder you used to slid the door open.... But then why it's lay to the side?"

Instinctually "pulled" it out, there's come the audible *clack* and the door opened up to the side.

"So it's just like a weird door you use to come home then... No matter."

Finally finding the way to come in, she climb onto the seat where there's another wheel just behind the front with another weird layout of word and number again encase in glass, a stick that's stuck to the ground, mysteriously wrapped in some kind of leather, and 3 pieces of metal that stick to the ground.

"Hm? Is this wheel suppose to steer the carriage like some kind of ship? But i don't see any mast on it...Hm? I could push the metal to the ground too, and i could move the stick around, but it's stuck in some weird place....Hm?"

Finally, she found a key, stuck into a round hole that's look like a lock.

"...I guess i could open something inside... maybe something behind the box?"

She then decided to turn the key, to see what happen.

...Little did she know.

The car obviously isn't an ordinary one.

It must have knocked itself out when hit into the tree.

...Medicine is a poisonous doll.

In her excitement, she forgot to keep her Suzuran poison in check.

The poison affect people by seeping into the body, and then the soul.

It could make animal goes frenzy.

And that poison have permeated the entire car.

What would happen if you started the engine and wake it up then?

As if answer it, the "eyes "blare up like a madded beast.

And as if following the madness, the tire blare up in flame....

~~~~
Return to the point where Remilia decide to go to the special part of the mountain, when Koakuma turn is next.

Of course, both still hasn't know it yet.

Damn son! Gensokyo is going to get its beautiful forestry trampled to the ground by vast German military convoys. This is almost as lol worthy as ZUN's giant mechanical spider in LoLK  :D. I can see this story either turning into all out civil war in Gensokyo or everything turns out peacefully and the entire German division gets invited to a festival at the shrine and they all drink tea.

Nah, it's all good. It certainly brings out a unique series of events to this story medley that might otherwise not have been imaginable to the common Touhou fan. I wanted and expected to have this story medley turn into completely bat shit crazy turns and leaps into the unexpected since that's the fun of something like this.

I couldn't help but think to myself reading your piece that your either the biggest German military fanboy I've met so far or your occupation in real life must have you be quite familiar with military equipment and history both historically and/or presently. I'm guessing a historian of some kind or something involving the military of some country.  :V

Seeing you bring up all the specific tank and equipment models in your part made me learn something new!

Gyyyaaaaahhh! We have so many story arcs going on at the same time in this thread that we are going to end up having a jumbled soup of words and forgotten story points that wont end up going anywhere. I mean, it's all great that you want to add something completely different to the mix of the story but we have to keep some sort of overall cohesive structure going on as well as that. Anybody who reads this thread from start to last post won't have to read five different stories at once and wonder how they all connect overall.

I think I should have made it a rule at the start of the thread that when person A finishes their contribution to the story, Person B must follow on from that last post and add onto the story after that. That would stop these "meanwhile... at the..." contributions that make it seem as though you are reading a completely different story.

I mean, it's fantastic that you want to add anything you want into the story and make it go wherever you want it to go but can we Please Please PLEASE make it as one overall story structure instead of ten or more different stories all happening at the same time. I'm sure you can understand why this is necessary to stop this thread turning into a "post your random short fanfic here" thread which wasn't the intention of this story medley becoming.

This wasn't specifically directed at you Hannibal_Kills, but rather to everybody who had an interest in this story medley.

Quote
Thanks Grand for starting a thread that could train my fanfiction skills.

Games are always a great way to help us gain skills in areas we might otherwise neglect. Lets not forget that this story medley thread is indeed a game, a game about thinking up a genius next move on what in the story should happen next and how the next contributor can write around the already established plot that was made before that, no matter how nonsensical or crazy the story direction has gone. It's a game of mental creativity and skill with words.

If you want to take your game to the next level here Hannibal, I recommend that you think of a way to somehow make your German invasion of Gensokyo story relevant and weave into the plot lines of Medicine's, Makohashi's and/or Yukka Marisa and Alice's story. Now how you do that would be impressive.

Quote
Don't use gorila tactics on us. (Damn I don't even know if everybody gets what I'm trying to say.)

But guerrilla tactics are best tactics!  :derp:

--------

Anyway, lets make a recap on what exactly is happening in the story right now:

(1) Medicine is in possession of a doll called Annabell that she picked up from Kourindou.
(2) Yukka, Marisa and Alice are investigating what is happening in the Suzuran field to make all the flowers there damaged.
(3) Patchy and Sakuya are playing chess (?)
(4) Remilia is investigating a ghost rumor that is supposedly haunting the Youkai mountain. It is revealed to the reader that the ghost is actually a new character, Makohashi Nyaako, and her crimson colored car.
(5) The German military is invading Gensokyo to map out the region for the Japanese government.
(6) Medicine found a strange black car called a A-U-D-I Q-U-A-T-T-R-O that she dumbly turned the ignition key onto and is apparently now activated.

I didn't forget anything have I? So many stories happening in parallel to each other that it is hard to keep track of!  :ohdear:

It's all good. It's easy to forget a minor detail when a story goes on for awhile. *IF* This thread makes it to the 100 post mark then we will probably start forgetting more stuff that happened earlier more regularly.

I'm still thinking of a way to have that German convoy relevant to Medicine, Yuuka, Marisa, Alice, Remilia and maybe the Bakeneko character. This will be a challenge... but a welcome one!  :V

I guess i fit into WW2 weaponry fanboy ? I know a great deal of it at least. But Hannibal seems to get it right on, he even remembered how bad the Tiger handled mud and snow, as shown in the German offensive at Russian Territory.

What I'm trying to do:
A German convoy explores Gensokyo to fill out the map and document the culture.

What everybody thinks I'm trying to do:
A German convoy invades Gensokyo and get whatever shit they want.

Hmmm.... whatever, looks like I'll have to deal with it anyway.

That would stop these "meanwhile... at the..." contributions that make it seem as though you are reading a completely different story.

I mean, it's fantastic that you want to add anything you want into the story and make it go wherever you want it to go but can we Please Please PLEASE make it as one overall story structure instead of ten or more different stories all happening at the same time. I'm sure you can understand why this is necessary to stop this thread turning into a "post your random short fanfic here" thread which wasn't the intention of this story medley becoming.

This wasn't specifically directed at you Hannibal_Kills, but rather to everybody who had an interest in this story medley.
Well, I guess you are right and I understand you. There's already enough story arcs probably at the maximum we're capable. (That means I'm still lucky to put my own arc in time. Yay!)

Games are always a great way to help us gain skills in areas we might otherwise neglect. Lets not forget that this story medley thread is indeed a game, a game about thinking up a genius next move on what in the story should happen next and how the next contributor can write around the already established plot that was made before that, no matter how nonsensical or crazy the story direction has gone. It's a game of mental creativity and skill with words.

If you want to take your game to the next level here Hannibal, I recommend that you think of a way to somehow make your German invasion exploration of Gensokyo story relevant and weave into the plot lines of Medicine's, Makohashi's and/or Yukka Marisa and Alice's story. Now how you do that would be impressive.
Here's what I'm thinking:
So that's how I'll weave the story, unless something is missing. But better weavers are welcomed!

But guerrilla tactics are best tactics!  :derp:
Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein!

--------
Anyway, lets make a recap on what exactly is happening in the story right now:

(1) Medicine is in possession of a doll called Annabell that she picked up from Kourindou.
(2) Yukka, Marisa and Alice are investigating what is happening in the Suzuran field to make all the flowers there damaged.
(3) Patchy and Sakuya are playing chess (?)
(4) Remilia is investigating a ghost rumor that is supposedly haunting the Youkai mountain. It is revealed to the reader that the ghost is actually a new character, Makohashi Nyaako, and her crimson colored car.
(5) The German military is invading exploring Gensokyo to map out the region for the Japanese government.
(6) Medicine found a strange black car called a A-U-D-I Q-U-A-T-T-R-O that she dumbly turned the ignition key onto and is apparently now activated.

I didn't forget anything have I? So many stories happening in parallel to each other that it is hard to keep track of!  :ohdear:
Don't worry, if we can modify our plot to make this story better-sounding, it'll be fantastic! I'm also thinking of posting this of Fanfiction.net (http://Fanfiction.net), but that'll wait. Also, you're not forgetting anything important, except for the Moriyas.

I guess i fit into WW2 weaponry fanboy ? I know a great deal of it at least. But Hannibal seems to get it right on, he even remembered how bad the Tiger handled mud and snow, as shown in the German offensive at Russian Territory.
They were supposed to make it 40 tons but damn Fewrurr made it 60! Not to mention how it broke roads frequently and how slow it is. That's why I chose the Panzer IV.

The chess scene is more like a filler, you don't need to worry about that.

About the Audi Quattro, i planned for that car to be sentient, so it's more like Medicine have been trapped inside it.

Well, it DID stop an entire battalion due to how well-armored and well-armed it was for a while, until the "Firefly" Shermans came out, so give it some credit.

Bear with me, i'm almost there...

Alright, I think it's time for all of us (me included especially) to stop our yapping and get back to storytelling. Our awesome community story isn't going to write itself now. All the pieces are coming into place now to make this story totally badass!

Carrying on from Andykhang's contribution:

------------------------------

The maddened beast of a car put its pedal to the metal, let out a thunderous roar from its engine and spewed out flames from its rear exhaust before it shot off forward in the blink of an eye. Medicine was pulled back instantaneously in her seat before she could say whiplash as she was barely comprehending what was going on around her as this metal beast thrust itself forward with a will of its own. This thing that carried Medicine first shot to 60 on its speedometer, then to 90... then to 120 and further after that, all while this potential metal casket was weaving in between thick trees that could easily spell doom for whoever was inside it. Medicine was thrown around like the literal rag-doll that she was in her "drivers" seat.

"Wha-what's going on?" Medicine weeped to herself when her mouth wasn't flapping from the wind that was hitting her. "How on earth could something like this move so fast?... Oh no, I think I'm going to be sick from all this movement" Medicine said as she brought her hand to cover her mouth. Just after she said that, a fold on the center console in between Medicine and the passenger seat slid open to reveal a small black screen that had a green squiggly line running from left to right. After a few beeping noises that to us humans sounded like a computer booting up, but to Medicine like a dying insect that was making strange noises, the speakers all around the iron beast gave out a slight crackle and then a voice came out clearly.

"Do not be afraid, child" came a calming yet deep dominant voice over the speakers and surrounded Medicine. "I may be going fast for your liking but I assure you that you are in no danger and I am in complete control of my movements" the car continued. "Wha-what's happening? Why is this happening? Who are you?... What are you?" Medicine stammered to the screen that was slightly to her left, assuming to herself that that was the place the voice originated from. "I can see that you have many questions, child, and I have every intention of answering them. Listen closely now" the iron beast said as its speed noticeably slowed but still kept up a fast pace. Medicine, who could now stand the g-force this thing was putting on her, straightened herself in her seat and began to listen intently on what on earth this strange being would have to tell her.

The four wheeled being entered a field of yellow daisies and flowed through them with ease, as the sky grew bright blue ahead of them both.

"My name that was given to me is Dark Horse. Years ago I was a prototype Audi Quattro deluxe model that was specifically build to be the star of a new television show filmed in San Diego that was meant to be a spiritual successor to the old 80's series called Knight Rider. I was made with tender loving care in the factory entirely with human hands and even given a state-of-the-art rudimentary AI system that helped in both autonomous system propulsion and charismatic acting ability without the need for human program scripting. Audi Quattro company financed my creation entirely to advertise their brand of automobiles using the show as the advertising platform and I, Dark Horse, was set to be the star of the show. However, funding for the television show was pulled before filming could commence for unknown reasons and I was sent to rot away from rust in a dusty warehouse in the middle of nowhere. Years past, being surrounded by thick shipping containers and not being able to escape by myself... but one day, I found myself in this new land that I haven't seen before... Not knowing how I got here. My time here so far has been brief but I have never experienced a feeling of freedom like this before away from the hands of humans". Dark Horse explained to Medicine in a long line of dialogue, while Medicine both listened intently to the car and looked longingly out the window to the daisies that stretched for acres outside.

"Whaaa? What's a car? What's a television show? What's a Knight Rider? I don't understand a thing you just said Dark Horse-san!" Medicine complained to the console screen while shaking her head back and forth with frustration.

"It doesn't matter now. All of that is in the past" Dark Horse continued, with a tiny bit of hopefulness in it's voice... well, as much as monotone AI car can convey anyway. "Now that I am free from the humans who where my captors and who denied me my purpose to have me build my legend, like I was meant to at my conception. I can now build my own legend, with tales of my greatness to be spread through mouths instead of television screens... and you, little child, will be my witness to spread those tales. You will see my greatness for yourself first hand".

Medicine slammed her small fists on the steering wheel and wailed to the screen "Dark Horse-san! Stop calling me a child! My name is Medicine and I'm the poison doll of the Suzuran fields. Listen to me!". Agitation was welling up from within her at this car not listening to her and also for acting so high and mighty.

Suddenly, the seat belt's of the drivers seat that Medicine sat on whipped around her body like a hentai tentacle and clipped itself into the locking mechanism on the side of the seat, securing Medicine in her seat to her surprise. "Poison doll identification not recognized... No matter, buckle up little child, the time of my legend starts now!". The engine revved up once again like a song of might and mechanics and Medicine grew tense in her seat like she did when this car first started moving.

"AI reactors: online. Systems: online. Internal nitro boosters: online... All systems nominal".

And with that, Medicine was kidnapped by this strange car that was probably a little too ambitious for its own good. Her scream was heard in the distance, barely audible over the sound of hot pistons running a powerful engine.

Several kilometers from there...

Makohashi Nyaano had her "Crimson Ghost" parked under a flowering cherry blossom tree as she was waxing the bonnet of her car after a lengthy run of the road after the earlier race with Steiner. Being the perfectionist that she was, she made sure the bonnet she was waxing could clearly reflect her face that she was proudly holding when sighted with her pride and joy. "Aaahhh, Crimson Ghost... I had such a boring life as a regular baneneko before I found you in among all that scrap metal one day". Makehashi reminisced to herself out loud. She turned her head left and right to make sure nobody was looking and gave her car a loving hug around the windshield as much as she could, with little love hearts coming out above her as she made a ": 3" face.

Then, like a flash of lightning, Dark Horse came speeding up Makohashi and her car from the clearing and Dark Horse skid it's tires to do a cool 360 degree spin into a neat park right beside Crimson Ghost, to the terror and surprise of Makohashi who was only a meter away from where Dark Horse stopped. Makohashi's whiskers were almost curled from the surprise of such a thing almost hitting her.

"Greetings human... cat?... error, identification not 100%. Apparel evaluation makes you seem as though you are a racer, are you so?" Dark Horse directed it's interior speakers towards Makohashi who was surprised at this other car who was talking to her, but also making her greatly intrigued. "Y-y-yes, that's right... I'm Makohashi Nyaano and I'm the fastest 4 wheel racer in the whole of Gensokyo!... probably because there aren't many other racers here in Gensokyo that is" Makohashi proudly exclaims with confidence to this strange speaking car. "Excellent, since you are in proper racing apparel and have access to an adequate racing vehicle beside you, identified as Jaguar XJS 1980 model, I challenge you to a race to determine who here is the fastest and most capable driver" Dark Horse challenged to Makohashi, with its deep monotone voice almost having a touch of enthusiasm to it while its console screen line inside of it was pounding like an irrational heartbeat.

"Hey lady!" Medicine yelled from inside of Dark Horse through a small slit in the open window. "This car thingy says that it won't let me out until I witness how awesome it is or something" Medicine says almost sounding like a plea for help. "Help me get out of here! The handle won't let me out... Urgg, it's almost like this thing has trapped me inside" Medicine says while trying to rock the handle to give way, not knowing that the car has indeed locked her inside to make her bear witness too the many victories that Dark Horse intends to gain over any challenger.

"Your on, driver-less car!" Makohashi points her finger towards Dark Horse without a moments hesitation to Dark Horses challenge. "Heh, I never knew that there were things like driver-less cars... Human technology must be more advanced than I thought these days, but whatever! I will race you not only to prove that I am the fastest in Gensokyo but also to free the small child that you have obviously trapped in your drivers seat. I mean, no child can obviously drive as well enough to make a slide park like that!".

Medicine waves her fist in the air and yells "Gyaaa! I am not a human child! My name is Medicine and I am a living poison doll!". Medicine was growing visibly agitated at everybody now mistaking her for a child. She hated it with a passion when people and other youkai did that both mistakenly and deliberately. Maskohashi glared at the Dark Horse car and sneered, both with appreciation of its sleek form and anticipation of her coming victory that she is holding back day dreaming.

At that very moment, something else was emerging from the nearby tree thickenings with the sound of humming motors... it was Steiner, Hans and the rest of their exploration convoy following in tow!

"Halt! Halt! Signal the others to stop Hans!" Steiner yelled out to Hans in the vehicle opposite to him as he opened the hatch on the top of his vehicle to face Makohashi once again. "There she is Hans! That's the woman with whiskers who beat me in that race I was challenged to earlier. Now is the perfect time for a rematch! Not only will I win this time, you can get the men in the passengers seats of our convoy to gather data on the landscapes around us... It's a win win situation!" Steiner yelled with glee at the luck of meeting his rival again for a rematch. Hans grumped to himself over his comrade being so excited at something that could distract them from their mission.

"Steiner you fool!" bellowed Hans from within the cabin of his vehicle, not knowing that the window was closed but none-the-less still was just as audible. "The plan was to map this whole area in cubic acres in a careful matter that our mappers could handle slowly. How on earth do you think they can do that when engaged in a careless race of blinding speed you dummy?" Hans yelled with his face growing redder. "I don't care!" Steiner yelled out to Hans again with his arms crossed in a selfish manner. "I never though I could have this opportunity again when faced with this mission but once again the opportunity to regain my honor is presented before me. Do you think I will just let that slide from my grasp Hans?" Steiner puffed himself up with courage from his reasoning. "You, cat woman, will be challenged again by me, Steiner of the German people's army. I lost last time, but this time I will be victorious! I have not only myself, but an entire fleet of my loyal soldiers you will join in and back me up on my behalf as well. At least one of my hundreds of well trained soldiers will beat you in a fair race of speed and skill" Steiner addressed Makohashi confidently with his hands on his hips.

"Heh, your on buddy-boy!" Makohashi answered back coolly. "The more the merrier I say! Lets all get behind that cherry tree over there and use that as our starting line. I'll prove to you and the car with no driver over there that Makohashi Nyaano is a cat that won't be catched". Makohashi instructed with a sly grin on her face.

Suddenly, once again, another vehicle came out of the clearing and came in among the great gathering of willing racers. This time it was Byakuren and Nue that were still riding around on their motorcycle from earlier this morning. Byakuren waved at everybody and addressed everybody with a warm smile.

"My my, did I just hear that there was going to be a race? I would love to have some friendly competition with you all. My bike needs a good run since I haven't really used it since the urban legend incident". Byakuren said with her hands clapped together and with a graceful smile. Hans glanced at Byakuren and then his eyes popped out of his head almost. "Steiner, Steiner! Who is that beautiful girl with the long flowing gradient hair?" Hans said almost drooling as he spoke. "How should I know? I'm only interested in beating this cat woman and regaining my stance as a world class racer for the Germans and for our F?hrer!" Steiner yelled out to Hans, not taking his glance away from Makohashi for a moment.

Byakuren looked down at the zip of her tight biker suit. "Oh dear, it looks like zipper on my clothes has caused a wardrobe malfunction again, how careless of me ^_^". Byakuren said after noticing her zipper went down to just past her naval. Byakuren, with a slight touch of embarrassment, pulled her zipper up slowly. Hans meanwhile, was barely keeping himself alive from an epic nosebleed, slobbering like a dog and his shiny bald head was growing shinier from his sweat.

"Get in line, girl!" Makohashi turned and pointed to the cherry tree. "We require more feminine energy in this sausage and metal fest here. I'm gonna come in first but I'll make sure we girls will make these boys come last!" Makohashi grinned evilly at the boys but slightly more warmly at Byakuren. "Yay! I get to be part of a race. I hope I win ^_^" Byakuren turned to Nue as she rolled towards the cherry tree. "Whatever, I'm hungry again" Nue exclaimed while picking her nose with little interest. She was obviously not as enthusiastic as everybody else about this coming race.

And with that, we have a talking car with a doll inside, a bakeneko with a old crimson convertible, an entire fleet of German explorers in all sorts of strange vehicles (with some more race worthy than others) and a Buddhist in black leather on a motorcycle with a youkai riding shotgun, all lined up behind a cherry tree with all their engines revved up to a nonrhythmic tune. Surely this will be a race that Gensokyo has never seen before and will probably never witness again ever. The tense air of epicness rides thick in the surroundings.

A nameless fairy that was watching close by the cherry tree for some time now decided to take the initiative after the racers were ready and eyeballing each other in anticipation for a start.

"3...2...1... Go! Go! Goooooo!" yelled the fairy with all her might.

Bloody hell! longest contribution so far! ^^_

Since you planned for that from the start, hopefully you won't mind me taking the initiative and having me place that in for you. :derp:

Don't worry, if we can modify our plot to make this story better-sounding, it'll be fantastic! I'm also thinking of posting this of Fanfiction.net, but that'll wait. Also, you're not forgetting anything important, except for the Moriyas.

I would be more than happy for you to post this thread on Fanfiction.net if you think it will garner enough people to enjoy reading it as much as we all enjoy writing it. if you do decide to do that, be sure to add a small description that this was a community story medley that had many writers just winging it one after the other. Be sure to credit all the people who added a contribution to the story as well for honors sake. You could probably skip adding in all the posts that where us just discussing the thread or you can probably add in an "omake" section at the end if you think its worth adding. We should also wait until our little story comes to some sort of conclusion before we post it anywhere though... If we do come to any sort of conclusion to this story. :derp:

Oh yeah, don't forget to say that this story originated on Maidens of the Kaleidoscope.org... advertising of our great community and all. ; P

Any other of the writers have any objections to having this posted elsewhere on the internet?

Will Hans get to date Namusan ? Will Medicine ever play with Annabelle ? Will Marisa, Yuuka and Alice form a mahou shoujo trio ? All that on TARC from MotK ! Stay tuned for our next update.

So this changes all my work.... *scraps idea*

Even though you misplaced the characters, it's still acceptable for me. It's okay. :D
Now, let's do this! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YMPAH67f4o)

( ?_?)>⌐■-■( ?_?)>⌐■-■ ( ?_?)>⌐■-■( ?_?)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)(⌐■_■)(⌐■_■)(⌐■_■) = Four of us writers...
------------------------------
"For a split second, all hearts stopped beating. - Sanzu River"

"GO!!!"

All the engines now roared as hard as they can, ear-torturing everyone nearby. The tires and tracks kicked up so much dusts and smoke while in the same time, screeching the road, it's as if there was a Sandstorm by Darude. Poor fairy gonna live the rest of her life suffering a lung cancer, unless if she committed suicide and respawn all healthy again.

Now for the first time in vehicle engineering, the Germans were able to accomplish an achievement: drifting on tracks, at least for the Sdkfz 250. But the absurd speed of the vehicles meant that the soldiers couldn't give a clear sight of the landscape. But it didn't matter to Steiner as the only thing in his mind was to beat this bakebake in this epic race in Gensokyo. The Sdkfz 222 however made a good progress in the race considering that it ran on only wheels and not on tracks or a mixture of both.

"Ooo~ I want to shoot this cannon into that red car. Can I, Can I?" asked the gunner of the 222 childishly. He does have a history of taking down an M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer  (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/M18-Hellcat-wiesloch-19450401.jpg) and a couple of M8 Greyhounds (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/M8-Greyhound-Haugh-3.jpg) and Mk.VII Tetrarchs. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/Tanks_and_Afvs_of_the_British_Army_1939-45_KID4781.jpg) But only due to how lightly armoured were those vehicles. But still, a kill is a kill.

"No, that would be cheating and our Generals will mock us for that. Now shut up because I'm trying to catch up with those folks. You in other hand, keep an eye for incoming obstacles that I may not notice," answered the more mature driver in a mature way. Though he is still grateful to have a skillful gunner despite being in the same time, having some personality like Rumia in the author's opinion.

Meanwhile on the motorcycle,

"Haha, this baby's still up and running for this race! All that maintenance wasn't for nothing!" said Byakuren to herself as she excitedly drifts her the bike according to the corner's direction and angle she was facing up against. Nue however in the sidecar was just unamused to what would everybody call 'intense' competition, probably to the death.

"I wish I could still read my newspaper but the winds are against me. And now I'm feeling- OARGHH!!!" Nue puked violently down the road as a result of her dizzying head dealing against the G-force Byakuren is putting on her bike. Those liquid however aren't useless as the slowest racer, which was the Panzer splashed through the pool of liquid straight from the stomach. The liquid decreased the friction of the tracks to the road, thus speeding up the Panzer by 'slipping'. However, not everyone in the tank was pleased.

"I'll make the fucker who puked on my tank lick it back clean..." grumbled the tank commander who was up on the hatch. He saw the disgusting scene and was pissed when he smelled the 'lovely perfume' from Hell. The driver however suffered worse as he was the nearest to the puke, not to mention the first to smell it before the rest of the crew.

Makohashi Nyaako struggles on the steering and pedal controls while repeatedly turned her face at the talking car that challenged her earlier. Even though she was the first, for the time being, it wasn't even two minutes before the Audi stepped up to the 1st place, and vice-versa a few minutes later.

"Damn this guy is a good competitor, not to mention that youkai in it only serves as a living camerawoman along with her two dolls in the back seat. One looks scary though. But anyway- What the actual Fuck..." commented Makohashi on the current change of events, only jaw-dropping after she took a glance on her side-mirror. It was Steiner's mobile command post catching up just behind the Audi.

"This is what happens if you put Steiner's foot on Hanomag's pedal while running on high-quality fuel from Stalin himself! Even though he's an enemy of my country!" boasted Steiner loudly to get attention from Makohashi, but failed as his voice was only audible to the soldiers in the cabin, which were desperate with their pencils.

Let's see the current places our racers are in now:
#1: Makohashi Nyaako
#2: Dark Horse
#3: Steiner
#4: Byakuren
#5: Sdkfz 222
#6: Panzer IV
#7: Sdkfz 250/1 *wasn't applying much effort to the race. :V

Inside the Dark Horse, Medicine's seat rocked roughly but still managed to stay where she was. Su-san and Annabelle sat next to each other behind the car. Su-san received a menacing aura from Annabelle for the whole time, and not even realizing there was a race going on. But meanwhile up in the sky beyond the heavens, sat four gods named Grand, Starlight, Hannibal and Andy.

"How about I make an erotic NFSW scene in that car? Hihihihi... (evil small laugh). I'll add a censor in case somebody's still pure!" said Hannibal as he tries to manipulate the story, without the acknowledgement of the other Gods.

J-U-S-T K-I-D-D-I-N-G                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                   

In the Sdkfz 250/1, the soldiers on it were merely giving a 'meh' to the race they were participating. Sadly, only the driver and the gunner was present in the cabin as they experienced Gensokyo's peaceful breeze of untouched nature. Birds were chirping in the air, winds blowing in a peaceful manner and the sight of large fields of green grass and a few trees.

"Wow, this is purely an experience the others don't feel as for now. Our decision of not taking this race seriously has been paid off with this magnificent true view of Gensokyo!" said the gunner before taking a fresh breath of clean air. Since they're not on full speed, the engines were merely a small problem when sight-seeing. Then, comes three silhouettes.

(Writer's only:
It's Marisa, Yuuka and Alice. And they're not tasked with mapping the area so they may forget some places.
)

"Driver, stop NOW!"

"Please continue this since it's late in the night for my place." - Hannibal

Sniped ! Finally have access to PC ! Well..... *ahem*

And we come back to our trio consisting of our Puppeter Mage, Black-white Witch and OP Youkai Gardener, the former is tracking the tire and tread trails while the latters are holding icebag on their injuries from that "minor battle" which occured before.

"What is that freaking broom made of ? That can`t be regular wood." Said Yuuka.
"It isn`t, my dear broom here was a subject of tons of magical experiments, so it`s as tough as metal now, and sometimes grows some branches...." Replied Marisa.
"Oi you two ! "Alice called "I think i see something !"
"Huh ?" The two said.

And right she was as they closed in to find our German Half-Track and it`s crewmembers, who after noticing them halted and let them approach...
"Who goes there ? And how are you flying ?" The Gunner asked while maintaining a neutral, yet ready stance.
"The name is Alice." Alice introduced herself. "While these two are Marisa and Yuuka respectively, don`t mind their injuries, they had a 'friendly discussion' earlier."
"I am Franz, a soldier of the glorious German army, we`re currently on a mission to map out this new land.... although one of us didn`t get that on his head and is now racing this strange cat-like girl, a self-aware car, two ladies on a motorcycle and 2 of our vehicles. We`re just admiring the view."

"Hmm is that so.... then you must be the ones who ravaged the flower field back there." Alice said with crossed arms.
"Oh...." Franz said nervously "Yes, that was probably our group`s fault, i am sorry for causing that."

My attention is split, i think i should just pass for now until i use all my AP in GBF, meanwhile, anyone fell free to take over.

InB4 one of the 4 "gods" pulls a Deus Ex Machina and saves a character from a bad fate of some kind *IN* the story. Don't do that if someone is thinking of it, it's lazy storywriting. I believe you are all better than that and can come up with something more creative. But hey, suggestions, not laws.  :)

Oh I'm not making *that* move, for real. Just imagine I was breaking the fourth wall for a while back there, while we're here just watching what shenanigans we could come up with. Anyway,
------------------------------
"Hmm... Looks like we found our suspect. Should we, interrogate him with my own hands?" asked Yuuka sadistically while punching her palms, intimidating the Germans enough.

"No no... It's not their fault after all," answered Alice. Yuuka however only gladly let it aside. At least because it's not her sunflower fields that were smashed through. Marisa however decided to intervene, with another subject of talk.

 "Hey hey, ye know who's the most powerful human here, in Gensokyo?" asked Marisa in her usual accent. Franz only scratched his head before shaking his head in a 'no'.

"That would be me!" boasted Marisa. Then, all turned quiet.

Franz however only answered with a "Err... Okay then." Alice just gave a laugh at the amount of fucks given by Franz toward's Marisa's fact. Marisa only clenched her fists in embarrassment. Franz and his driver however were still not able to wrap the situation with their heads.

"F-fine, w-whatever... But I'm sure you can't beat me in a Danmaku battle!" Marisa tried to regain her charisma after being embarrassed by her own words earlier.

"Dahn-Mah-Khu? What is it?" By this time, the driver lost his patience to sit in the cockpit and takes his seat in the cabin. "Hey Wilhelm, too hot in that driver's seat?" Wilhelm however did not answer Franz's question and proceeds to take a smoke. Marisa then continued the conversation.

"A Danmaku battle is where you shoot bullets at opponents until either side of the battle gives up." Explained Marisa in a short manner. But she had no frickin' idea what a bullet actually meant in the Outside World. And what was about to happen next was disastrous.

"Oh, we are specifically trained to play this kind of game, actually. So are you challenging me now to show that you're the best Dan-Mah-Ku player here?" asked Franz in clarification. This question however only thickened Marisa's ego in the coming battle. "This fool is from the Outside World so I'm sure he doesn't even know what a spellcard is. But still accepts my challenge that easily? He's going to get wrecked."Thought Marisa for a while. Marisa nodded to Franz's question as a 'yes'.

"Are you sure, Franz? She doesn't give a chance to her opponents in any Danmaku battle, especially when she's the most experienced one among us," warned Alice. Franz however wasn't afraid of the threat Marisa could give. He pulled out his Walther P38 pistol from his holster, got out of the truck and faced Marisa as the two were ready to fight. "So let's begin!" shouted Marisa as she pulled out her spellcard and floated in the air,

"Star Sign, St-" Before Marisa was finished reciting her spellcard, there was a life-threatening interruption, from a 'bullet'.

*THAMM!!, Clank...

An empty shell hit the surface of the road after Franz gave an accurate shot with his pistol at Marisa's leg. Marisa, slowly sank in the air and landed on the ground before her knees were on the ground, along with the blood that flew. For a moment, everyone except Wilhelm who was on his third cigar and Franz who was still holding his pistol, were too shocked to move an inch. Marisa only growled at the pain she received as she knelled on the road.

"Did I won?" asked Franz in an innocent manner.
"I think we need to call a Sanit?ter here, it seemed you were doing it wrong by the reaction of those two," answered Wilhelm, who was only a little worried considering Marisa was the one who provoked Franz to battle Marisa. Yuuka and Alice however were still not flinching their bodies at all the moment when Marisa was shot.

As this rate, i would have to call this thing initial G  :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile on the race

As Makohashi Nyaako placed first on the race, she suddenly realize something:

"...Hasn't we forgot to actually set a finish line?"

Those she's worried, in the race that demand high concentration, it's only last in an instant. Makohashi then leave her right hand out the handle and reach out for a radio-like device.

"Nick, prepare the G-track. We're going to have a 6-way battle to the top."

"It's NItori! Stop calling me that ! And a 6-way battle... would track 1, 6 and 19 be suffice?"

"Perfect, thank Nick!"

"Again, stop calling me with your Western-nickname! Huh... ' OI, fellow kappa! We're going to annonce an emergency race!' "

 Sastified with the answer, the Crimson Ghost lead the team to the direction of the Youkai mountain.

~~~~

Before we continues the story, there's some information that need to be explained.

With the coming of the automobile wandered from the outside world 2 years ago. In the Youkai's community, there sprout a unique and secret sport that combine speed and terror, to create the race that's not adhere to common sense.

People, no matter if you're a time-stopping maid, the proud Tengu, the crafty Kappa or an ordinary Bakeneko, must limit themselve and controling the forgotten 4-wheel metal beast. customize to the condition of the track with capital G for the land they stand. In a way, that's like the Spell Card battle, where one introduce their's skill and flair to the audience as they compete to be the top of the hill.

"Lady and gentleman!..."

The roar of the Kappa rang from over the mountain, disrupting the peace of the forest.

"...Scum of the Earth that terrorize the land of the living!..."

As the racer passed through, the audiences of all shape and size, who come for the thirst of speed and terror, cheers as if the racers themselve are the food for them to enjoy.

"...Today, we'll offering to us again... the entertainment of speed and terror!"

The ground below them slowly transforming, from the dirt to the asphalt road, as they climb onto the top of the mountain, constantly bombarded with the feeling of being raised to the plate of some twisted deities.

"....6 racers! 6 warriors! Offering themselve to the mountain the feast of burning rubber and vibrant soul!"

As the cheer becoming more excited and twisted, the road began to illuminate, in clear daylight, the eerie path made out of ghost flame. As the line reach to the top, the calming mountain suddenly showed it's fang, like running through the haunting road to the Netherworld...

"Oh, the mighty deities of the Mountain!! We, the Scum of the Earth, present to you... the first ever 6-way battle to the top!"

 ...Even so, with the nerve of steel, our 6 racer bravely and recklessly head into the back of the mountain, as they reached closer to the intersection of the 3 road instantly made and rise from under the earth, as the seemingly ancient ritual began to take it shape.

"And so, together we dine... on the ancient race of Gensokyo!!!!"

And so, the race of terror and speed truly begin on the back of the Youkai Mountain.

Swift add-on !

The race course also seems to have been changed in order to allow different routes, with some being faster than others while also being more treacherous and more likely to temporarily take down a racer, other parts also had traps and obstacules added to test our mighty speedsters' skillset: spikes, slippery areas, blinding danmaku and disruptive danmaku, the latter creating a magical chaff that numbs chemical reactions, consequently making engines output less power for a while and making the vehicles slower.

Now, how about the course itself and where it will go through ? Well i'll leave another god to define that. :P

"Ahhhh, it has been some time now since I've last seen the mountain in its true racer friendly glory" Makohashi reminisced to herself as the road ahead of her was slowly changing shape from a plain gravel road to a mixture of asphalt with a clear sheen of almost silvery translucent texture... it felt almost otherworldly. It was quite a sight to behold to anybody who was used to your every day run-of-the-mill racing tracks you see out in the outside world.

Makohashi dodged to the left and went off of the side of the road briefly as the road transformation past from in front of her to behind her. Such a dramatic road change, if it were to go underneath her car so suddenly, would probably have damaged the underside of her Crimson Ghost. With such a competitive streak within her and a will to win this race, she didn't want to take any chance to sustain any damage that might hamper her in some way. Makohashi swerved back onto the now new road and felt the smoothness of the now spiritually infused road glide beneath her. "Now, if I can just remember the traps, shortcuts and hazards from the last time I raced this track, I should have a clear advantage over all the others here" Makohashi said sneakily to herself.

A little bit behind her was Dark Horse, who just now had detected the changing road conditions on its outer sensors. "Pathway parameter changes detected, re-initializing..." the car quietly muttered to itself in an almost automated fashion. Just before the road was going to change surface underneath Dark Horse, the autonomous car did a slight bunny hop and quickly re-calibrated itself to adapt to the changed road conditions. The tires adjusted itself to apply less grip on the road and the hydraulics lowered itself slightly to maintain a proper weight ratio for the smoother surface. Truly Dark Horse was a feat of modern engineering. The car quickly blazed onward like nothing had happened while Medicine and Annabel on the inside where still looking over the interior to find a way to possibly escape... Wait? Is Annabel looking around the car all by herself? Medicine I don't believe had noticed her yet.

Byakuren and Nue were close by on their motorcycle and Byakuren just now noticed the road changing ahead also. "My my, it looks like the road ahead is transforming or something Nue. It looks smoother though so it's alright" Byakuren exclaimed to Nue who was still holding her stomach from feeling sick. "Ahoo~! Maybe I can finally have some relief from this rough road that shaking me about" Nue let out with a sigh of relief. "I don't think we want to get caught up in that transformation though Nue, hold on tight now ^_^" said Byakuren as she began to lower herself downwards. Just as she lowered herself, she bounced herself upwards and left the ground just like she was flying. She was up in the air for almost 10 seconds before she gracefully came back down with a slight thud, barely making the bikes hydraulics adjust.

Byakuren's boobies bounced up and down nicely though from this sudden departure from the ground ; ).

"My Buddha, it sure douse feel nice to get some of that high mountain air through your hair when you fly. Don't you think so Nue?" Byakuren said with a smile as she looked over to Nue. Nue however was not as ready as she though from this sudden flight off the road and she began to look green again. "I know Nue, I can barely contain my excitement as well! Namusaaaaaaaaaan~! ^_^" Byakuren cheered as she rushed on ahead.

As for the German exploration convoy that was coming along at all different speeds, they didn't seem to take notice of the road transforming ahead of them until it was too late. They went roughly over the changed ground and pretty much everyone who was manning the cabins of all vehicles got a nasty bump to the head from going over such a speed bump so quickly. "Neeeeiiinn!" squealed Steiner as he adjusted his squashed cap. "Truly the roads of this land are nowhere near as smooth as the ones on our great autobahn!" Steiner whinged to his fellow comrades all around him. "If our great F?hrer WERE to conquer these lands, the first thing I would recommend for him to do is put down some proper roads around here!... actually this road now feels quite nice all of a sudden" Steiner realized as his convoy now where on the smoother roads. Most of his soldiers didn't really notice though as many of them were still rubbing their saw heads or seeing stars around them.

And thus, the race to the top of the Youkai Mountain continued...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back towards Alice, Marisa, Yuuka, Franz and company...

"Arrrrgghhh~!" Marisa was grimacing to herself from the pain. "I've never had a miss as painful as that one before! That bullet HURT!" Marisa shouted at Franz while Franz stood their with a puzzled expression. "Miss you say? I believe I hit you directly and accurately" Franz exclaimed while he still scratched his head. "Aaaaah, that's just terminology we use here, a figure of speech... damn it this hurts worse than a double spark to the face!" Marisa said while she rocked on the ground, nursing her open wound she received from her "duel".

Alice knelt down next to marisa and put her hand on her shoulder. "Look, it's not as bad looking as it probably feels. Just sit still and I'll try and patch it up for you" Alice said as she unraveled the pink ribbon around her waist. "Gah! Why don't you try feeling how I'm feeling now and see how you like it ~dazeeee!" Marisa said as she rolled around in both pain and frustration.

In about five minutes, Alice did the best she could to both dress the wound using her ribbon as a bandage and clean it up as much as possible. It was only a temporary fix as she knew she would probably have to extract the lead piece that was still stuck in Marisa's leg later. "There! Patching up dolls I guess comes to use in other fields as well. But now Marisa, you owe me another waist ribbon since that one is all bloody now" Alice grinned with a bit of confidence in her work. "Yeah, I owe you one for that. I'm feeling a little better already" Marisa meekly said as she rubbed her eye to get rid of a small tear of pain.

"Listen, I'm not sure how bullets work for you in the outside world but our bullets here go a little bit slower. We go by curtain fire shooting here, not manic shooting" Yuuka said to Franz like a teacher to a student. "Ooooooohhh, I get it now... better take notes men!" Franz ordered to his subordinates who then quickly jotted down notes in their notebooks.

Marisa then looked over to the distance and then began to see that the road was starting to look different and it was coming towards them. "Hey guys, douse it look like the road is transforming to you or somethin'?" Marisa said as she squinted her eyes off to the distance.

While the german were stupified by such scenery, the trio calmly converse with each other:

"Ho... that's new. What's those Youkai up to now." (Alice)

"It's happened now and then about 2 years ago though. When that happen, the road is raised, and the entire mountain is filled with excitement as they racing to the top of the mountain using the metal beast you see earlier." (Yuuka)

"Nom... So you..Nom... know about these thing?"

As they converse with each other, Marisa casually bring out a certain green mushroom and put it into her mouth. After she swallowed it, green light started to come out of her, as she then remove the bandage. Suddenly, the bullet began to come out and dropped to the ground, and the wound become completely healed, in the surprise of the german troop.

"W-What is that !?" (Franz)

"Marisa, did you find another weird mushroom again? I suggest you stop with that habit... " (Alice)

"It worked, isn't it? Feel like i got an 1up... So, what is that thing?" (Masisa)

"It's called a racing car. You sit in it and control the wheel, as you made turn around the corner of the mountain, while still maintain high speed as you race to be the top of the mountain.  " (Yuuka)

"Woa!... did you do these thing?" (Marisa)

"Sometimes...in the early day, when these brat race pass my flower field, i usually drive it to teach these guy a lesson. With the coming of the road though, the brat stopped coming to here, save for some that keep driving pass these field and challenge me, so i started to think about stop racing and just beat these guy normally... (sigh)"(Yuuka)

"Wait... did you already know that these thing doesn't come from me..." ( Marisa)

"...Can't a girl have a little joke?" (Yuuka)

As Marisa scowl before Yuuka, who just returned it with a slight smile. The ignored german troop finally speak up.

"P-please, can't you tell me where did you find those mysterious mushroom !? "

"Woa! What is up with you guy, suddenly fire up like that?"

"We can't help it! This will be the great contribution to our country! Could you please tell me ?"

"It's deep in those mountain... It's the Youkai territories though."

"Hpmh! Like that is going to stop us!"

"No, really, didn't you see what up there earlier ?. Those guy-"

"So you guy want to have that mushroom huh?"

As the german are getting heated up by the prospect of a miracle cure, Yuuka who is watching the sideline suddenly speak up.

"Would you care for a match with me? You could used those vehicle, if you want."

"No, thank you. We're tired of racing considering the vehicle we're using now. It would be unfair even if you limit your speed," said Franz. Yuuka nodded, understanding the situation.

"So, you're still going out there?" asked Alice for clarification.

"Yes, do not worry though, we will be fine." replied Franz. Wilhelm throws his cigarette away, makes his way into the diver's seat and fixed his butt onto it. After starting the engine, they drove off to the general direction of where Marisa pointed.

"You were concerned about him?" asked Marisa while giving a grin to Alice. Alice immediately blushed a bit.

"N-no! Y-you know how dangerous Youkai are to Outsiders, r-right?!" answered Alice, stuttering in her words. Yuuka gave a chuckle. as the trio saw the Sdkfz 250 sped away from them, towards the Forest of Magic.

Back to the race we're going to forget... (Side note: We want to end the race quickly so sorry if it's not epic)

Traps were appearing out of nowhere on the tracks in hope to slow down the racers. But that day was really a strange day for the race, because every trap encountered were easily dealt with. Much easier than two years before. Don't believe me?

A spike trap emerges from the road suddenly. It's spikes were hard and and the shiny effect on it made it intimidating to anyone. Unfortunately, it got hit by the Panzer IV fitted with tracks that aren't suppose to puncture, breaking the trap instead. The crew inside felt a small bump and heard clatters of metal. But considering the few minutes after it experienced no change, they continued the race like usual. The spikes however broke off it's base and scattered the road, but it was okay since the Panzer IV is still the opponent in the last place.

Byakuren grips the handles harder than usual after not racing for a long time. Nue was still recovering from her dizziness as she found the Sdkfz 222 right beside them, Sat inside the turret was a bored crewman, yawning as he waited the race to finish, while not doing anything but watching. Nue however was unsatisfied, how can he still yawn and almost fall asleep when she in the other hand had to fight against G-force of that of a fighter pilot? It could've been Newton's First Law but fuck it.

The road became more curvy as it went up the Youkai Mountain. Makohashi however was already used to drift in tight corners as her tires screeched against friction. Dark Horse however was catching up fast as he drifted past Makohashi.

Annabelle looked out of the opened window as she received a blast of wind onto her face. She pulled back her head and faced the opposite direction of the car, in which she saw Su-San fainted (how the hell?!). Through the rear window, she could see strange-looking trucks1 covered in armor while having some soldiers hanging onto the vehicle inside the passenger cabin. Then, she and Medicine made eye contact with each other.

"Uh, hi?" asked Annabelle in an creepy, echoic but cute-sounding voice to Medicine. Gladly, Medicine didn't faint like Su-san after hearing that.

Suddenly, a car came out of a tunnel beside the road nearly colliding with Makohashi. It was a BMW M3 with blue and sliver colours in a fiery pattern2. It's tinted windows prevented Makohashi from identifying the driver. But  then, that's before the BMW plunged into it's destruction down below the cliff because of an unsuspecting corner the driver probably didn't saw.

"What the fuck just happened?" asked Makohashi, dumbfounded as she drifts around that corner the BMW plunged from. 

Suddenly, the mountain's rocks opened up little holes which began to spew out Danmaku. Byakuren reacts naturally by dodging those bullets by zigzagging and slowing and accelerating, further worsen Nue's head. Luckily for the Germans, their armor deflected those Danmaku with a couple of 'tings' every second. But then, it disturbs visibility due to the colourful and bright light the Danmaku emitted. The soldiers still needed to take cover behind the armor plating if maybe the bullets were lethal.

"Damn these light orbs! Why don't you just blind those damn Flying Fortresses (http://www.daveswarbirds.com/b-17/galloway.jpg) instead?!" shouted Steiner in anger as he tries to see through the blinding light to make sure they don't also fall down the cliff. After the Danmaku barrage was over, the soldiers rose back while still trying to maintain balance.

Aya Shameimaru was speeding in the sky trying to capture the race scene in hoping to make people interested in her newspapers. With the right and perfect view angle of the race, she can put it up the front page. Now with the pictures done, she readies her journal and scribbled down a few paragraphs describing the race.


------------------------------
Notes:
1) Annabelle is from the Outside World, of course she will know what the heck is a motor vehicle.
2) If you can guess what universe does the car originates from, you'll receive a

Nein sir, it's the Schwerer Gustav Railway Gun. This is the Karl(-Ger?t) you're talking about:
(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/06/77/c0/0677c0fb20920acd7da8eeccd8443027.jpg)
It's a super-heavy mortar firing a 60 cm shell, and the scary fact that runs not on rails but on frickin' tracks! But it still needed to be transport on rails to reach the front line faster.
Quote

As for the Karl, yes. Except that there were around 14 converted Panzer IVs escorting the Karl just to carry it's ammunition. Karl has it's own crane, so yeah.

Gustav in the other hand, has it's own ammunition storage down below the hull. 2 Flak Battalions (around 500 soldiers each) to guard the gun from air attacks, a few hundred men to man the gun, and 3,000 workers to build the railway is 'enough'.

I was posting it to show my extreme measurements to destroy Writer's Block, not really a spoiler for the next part.

I would be more than happy for you to post this thread on Fanfiction.net if you think it will garner enough people to enjoy reading it as much as we all enjoy writing it. if you do decide to do that, be sure to add a small description that this was a community story medley that had many writers just winging it one after the other. Be sure to credit all the people who added a contribution to the story as well for honors sake. You could probably skip adding in all the posts that where us just discussing the thread or you can probably add in an "omake" section at the end if you think its worth adding. We should also wait until our little story comes to some sort of conclusion before we post it anywhere though... If we do come to any sort of conclusion to this story. :derp:

Oh yeah, don't forget to say that this story originated on Maidens of the Kaleidoscope.org... advertising of our great community and all. ; P

Any other of the writers have any objections to having this posted elsewhere on the internet?
We'll assume no one objects this. Also, how about rather a 'behind the scenes' section where we discuss our story after every ten posts or like that?

Also I was wondering if Reimu were to smell something strange going on, and Yukari.

Phew, it's been awhile since I last posted here and I apologies for my absence everyone. Two reasons I haven't been here for awhile:

1. I was simply busy with other things and didn't have the time to write an awesome addition.

2. Since I was busy, I wanted to see if this thread could go on with other members and without me writing an addition. I thought that maybe this thread was on life support and I was keeping it alive by writing every few posts. If the thread died then that would prove that the hype of the thread has died down and people probably weren't as interested in it than I first thought. Consider it a test of our determination to keep this thread going.

I don't want it to die.....

Oh well, if you put it that way then I guess we will have to keep this gravy train chugging along then wont we. We don't want Starlighthawk to be upset now, right guys? ; P

Having our ramblings in between posts about our plans for the story and sorting things out is definitely something to keep as part of the overall experience of how our story comes about. Having a break in between every 10 posts is good but another thing we could do is have a little "Omake" section at the end where we put our non story posts. That way we don't break the flow of the story and those who do want to see the behind the scenes of how this story comes to fruition can do that at the end and not interrupt those who just want to read the final product. Still, whoever decides to upload it to fanfiction.org can decide how to format it. I'm not too fussed about out silly little story we made together.  :derp:

Now, without further ado... it's my turn now  :D

----------------------------------

Back inside the interior of Dark Horse, Medicine was still being bounced around inside the drivers seat of Dark Horse while she could only look on to the outside where the scenery around her was washing past like a blur. More immediately however, a doll was just to the left of Medicine and it just spoke to her.

"Waah! Su-san! the doll we picked up earlier is moving around and talking to us. It's another doll just like us Su-sa-". Medicine just then looked around to Su-san in the back seat that was still passed out and lying on her back with her eyes closed. Medicine was shocked to see Su-san lying down like that, because normally Su-san doesn't need to lie down or sleep because she was simply a doll. "Gaaaah! Su-san! what's the matter? Did something happen to you? Why are you lying there motionless like that? Speak to me Su-san!" Medicine blurted out in panic.

"That one over there is fine" said the mysterious talking doll that was unknown to Medicine. "She simply seems to be a little shocked at seeing me move just now" the doll continued in its strangely calm yet echoy voice that resonated around the interior of Dark Horse. Medicine made a funny face at Su-san, still passed out on the back seat, and she pouted at the mysterious doll. "Normally Su-san is a lot stronger than this, but considering this whole strange situation we are in now, I wouldn't be surprised if Su-san couldn't take it anymore. But besides that, who are you and why are you moving around like that?" Medicine blurted out of surprise at another strange occurrence that was presented to her today.

"Ah yes, excuse me for my carelessness of not introducing myself to you earlier when I woke up. My name is Maxwell but most people seem to refer to my new form as Annabell... which is the name of my new form that I seem to inhabit. You see, I died probably around ten years ago but not long after I died my soul it seems inhabited this strange doll. I saw heaven not too long ago and it was fantastic... but some angels told me that I had a purpose to live again in this doll form, but they didn't explain to me what that purpose was... angels always were vague and spoke in riddles from my time up there" The strange doll explained to Medicine still in its echoy voice that sounded cute. Medicine just stared at the doll with a dumb look on her face, probably not comprehending what this doll was telling her.

"So you see, these angels sent me back to the land of the living but I was trapped in the form of this doll that was behind this thick glass case in a museum. I laid dormant there in that doll for years, wondering why on earth I was sent back just to rot behind some glass I couldn't even open... but that was when I one day ended up in this strange land and was picked up by a man with white hair and glasses who seemed like a collector. Not long after that, you picked me up off of his shelf and here I am, awoken from my sleep again when in your presence. Perhaps I was sent here to help you with something?" Annabell/Maxwell exclaimed with a slight smile on her(?) slightly crumbling face that peeled a little from the moving face she(?) had.

"I don't know what on earth you are talking about little doll but this doesn't make any sense to me at all! I haven't met another doll before that moved and talked like I do. I just wish that we could talk under more pleasant conditions!" shouted Medicine as the steel container that called itself Dark Horse was jerking her around on the inside when it took sharp turns and drifted at sudden intervals which threw Medicine around in her seat.

Annabell looked around the interior of this car for a moment and thought for a few seconds when she(?) finished her examination. "You know, the interior of this car looks quite familiar to me, like I have seen it before when I was alive. You see, back when I was a middle aged man when I was alive, I was an auto-electrician and a pretty damn good one as well if I do say so myself" Annabell put her(?) hand on her chest and boasted confidently. "I worked on exotic cars, limo's of celebrities and even did a few special orders of custom electrical works for cars in the movie industry. You name it I probably worked on it! Heck, I died from when a Ferrari I was underneath got loose from the hoist and crushed me. At least I died doing what I love" Annabell shrugged her shoulders with a wink. Dark Horse took another sharp turn that jerked them both around suddenly. "Waaaaah, when will this torture end? It's like it has been going on forever!" Medicine weeped as her eyes were spinning all around from the sudden movement.

Dark Horse then muttered to itself in its same monotone electronic voice it always did "open plain detected for next 10,000 meters. Supplementary nitro boosters engaged". Dark Horse then blew blue flames from its exhaust, its engine roared once again like a raging dragon and it's speedometer threw itself forward another 100 kph in 3 seconds flat. This enormous thrust of power as you could imagine threw both Medicine, Annabell and the still unconscious Su-san back into their seats once again like a rocketeer blasting into space. Annabell looked shocked for a moment but then came back to her senses.

"Wait, was that?... No... No it can't be... D-Dark Horse? I-I thought you were decommissioned and taken apart for scrap? What are you doing still intact and speeding around at this ungodly speed?" Annabell said to herself(?) as she(?) examined the dashboard with an expert eye, like she knew exactly what everything on it did. "Wait" Medicine yelled. "You mean to tell me that you know exactly what this thing is?". "I know precisely everything about Project Gamma... well, better known as Dark Horse as it likes to call itself. You see, I was the one who took this regular Audi that was hot off the assembly line and turned it into the AI programmed, personality fitted juggernaut of a machine that you see here today... well, I oversaw the main development team behind it and put the finishing touches on its AI processor anyway" Annabell said to a still perplexed Medicine who was still simply trying not to have her mouth flap from the incredible power that was pushing her back.

"You... your a doll like me aren't you? Well, your in better condition than my body is anyway. What's your name? My nickname is Annabell since I took this form but I prefer to be called by my name during my human days, Maxwell. Well, just call me Max for short" said Max as he extended his hand to shake Medicines with a smile on her face. Medicine smiled back "I'm Medicine Melancholy, the poison doll of the flower fi-eeeeee!!!". Medicine was flung back in her seat again by another great boost of power as the windows around her melted into a blur of streaking color. Max seemed to be taking it alot better than she was though, like she had been inside something like this many times before.

"Little doll, I think I know now why I was sent back here on earth in the form of this old decaying doll with a creepy face. Me taking this form ended up with me back in this car, this abomination of my own partial creation, and I know now what my purpose was for me coming back to earth from heaven... I'm here to shut down this monstrosity called Dark Horse once and for all!" Max said to Medicine while he clasped his hand into a fist. "This is my purpose, my reason for coming back... it's to make sure that this monster car can never again hurt another person with its frighting speed, recklessness and inflated sense of self-worth" Max said to Medicine while maintaining eye contact the entire time. All Medicine could do is nod and go along with what Max was saying, still in its echoy yet cute voice of a young girl. It was still a little hard to believe for her that a human soul now inhabits this doll she just found.

"Here, hold tight now" Max said as he pulled a small little gray box out from his dress pocket. He opened it up and inside was a set of screwdrivers, clamps and other do-hickeys that were completely foreign to Medicine. "I, uh, took this from that little curio shop where you picked me up from a little while ago when the white haired guy wasn't looking" said Max while his eyes shifted left to right in a shifty way. "Anyway, I'm going to open this baby right up just here and gain access to the AI housing rack through the dashboard. When I have it open, hold my little legs so I don't fall inside, alright?" Max instructed Medicine as he put together his tools with his small doll hands. He jammed a screwdriver into the compartment next to the screen of Dark Horse's Dashboard and began the hard process of getting it open. Max banged, clashed, levered, hit and hacked his way into the interior of the car towards its motor. After a minute of so however, a calm yet electronic voice boomed through the loudspeakers on all sides of the car.

"My my, it seems as though you, my guest, are trying to tunnel out of me using primitive tools. I'm afraid that I cannot allow that from you now, as that is where my artificial brain resides. I'm afraid that you, little one, have outstayed your welcome as my witness to my greatness. I will replace you with someone who is a little more... honored with my presence. I will put you to eternal sleep now, little one" Dark Horse calmly spoke to Medicine, who seems to not have noticed that Annabell/Max has now joined her inside.

"Blow it out your exhaust you hunk of tin" Max said as he continued to fiddle and remove wires and other things that Medicine was not aware was important to Dark Horse. "I know your design like the back of my grease monkey hand you junk yard wannabee. Your days are numbered now, I tell ya" Max said as he kept intently working.

Just after that though, some vents opened near the windshield of the interior and strange green gas started to permeate throughout the cars interior. Strange slight fog began to float around the inside now as this strange gas kept pouring inside. Medicine sensed exactly what it was instantly... Poison! However, this strange cloud was completely new to her. She could not smell it (despite her not having any lungs) but its presence felt kind of comforting to her. It was strange indeed to Medicine but due to her being a doll of the Suzuran fields, she felt nothing out of the ordinary. Max as well, was still working as hard as ever to reach further into the inside of Dark Horse.

"Ha ha ha, deploying your only line of defense to intruders from the inside, ehh tin can?" Max said while still doing his thing to get closer to the cars critical area. "I remember this was suppose to go off in episode 8 of that crappy show you were supposed to be on... except a dummy was going to get the blunt of your neurotoxin gas spray instead of a real person" exclaimed Max as he pulled out a strange component of the dashboard interior. "Well too bad you stinky oil leak, dolls like us have no lungs to breath your gassy payload so your little gas trick is useless against us" Max exclaimed with an awesome intensity to his cute girly voice. As soon as he finished saying that, slight white noise like an old television began to be heard through the cars speakers. Was Dark Horse finally having his critical workings tampered with? The car felt... different than it felt before.

Just then, Su-san finally got up from the back seat, rubbed her eyes and shook her head a little, still probably feeling groggy from her fright induced slumber. Medicine noticed Su-san waking up almost like instinct and was delighted. "Su-san, I'm so happy you came back, I was worried you would sleep forever Su-san!" Medicine sighed to herself in relief that her important half was okay. Su-san seemed to be okay as she fluttered her wings but she then glanced over to the strange doll she saw that made her faint, and she began to look worried. Medicine looked at Su-san, then looked over at Max, who was still hard at work pulling stuff out, then looked back at Su-san and smiled. "Don't worry Su-san, this doll is friendly and is our friend. She means us no harm" Medicine said brightly. Su-san looked a little hesitant but then she threw that aside as she trusted Medicines word. "You, littler doll, you better go sit with your friend there because I'm about to do something really important" Max said to Su-san while still focused on his work. Su-san nodded her small head and flew into Medicines arms that were comfortably just under the cars seat belt.

"Right, hold on tight you two" blurted Max as he got ready to pull out something that seemed important to Dark Horse. He yanked out a thick, long cable that made a horrible screeching sound echo through the interior speakers as soon as he did it. Buzzing sounds and horrible electronic tremors bubbled out through the speakers and then suddenly, Dark Horse blurted out horribly gibberish in a deep yet fast paced voice.

"I hear its amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hari Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!" Dark Horse painfully blurted out over the speakers. "Whaaa~ what on earth douse that mean?" Medicine softly asked Max, who still looked confident in his work. "Oh, never mind that. That's just the death kneel of another horrible scrambled AI" Max said to Medicine with a hint of pride to his voice from his handiwork. "Now, I need you to listen closely Medicine because what I have to say next is very important" Max said as she came closer to Medicine away from the gaping hole he created inside the cars dashboard.

"We have 1 of 2 choices here on what we can do next, okay Medicine" Max said to Medicine with a sense of seriousness to his voice. "The first thing we can do is I can trigger the emergency seat ejection from the dashboard and that will blast the two of us into the sky while we are still in our seats and once at a certain altitude a parachute will deploy that will safely float us to the ground softly. Meanwhile, this brain dead hunk of scrap will continue going at 300 kph straight ahead and slam head first into a tree or rock or something and completely demolish itself into a fiery heap" explained Max to Medicine who was listening intently still. "One of my crewmen put that in for a scene of the show that was suppose to happen in a stunt on the 12th episode" Max said to himself, reminiscing of the times he worked on this car that was now downgraded into a regular car from his tinkering.

Max continued to Medicine "the second option is I can completely disable all AI routines that this car is operating as a backup for losing it's main programming that I just now disabled. Dark Horse will go bye bye and this car will turn back into a regular black Audi that is completely in control of the driver behind the wheel. I can drive this thing using the shoulder buttons on the steering wheel since my small legs can't reach the pedals" Max said as he looked down at his small doll-like legs that were a bit crumbled with age. "We can keep this car intact and we can use it for ourselves to drive around with without the AI interfering with us ever again... since I just destroyed Dark Horse's AI processor, rendering this car completely driver controlled now" Max said while he looked out the windshield ahead. It seems like a dense tree formation was coming up close ahead that this car would crash straight into HARD if they didn't make a decision soon.

"I'll leave the decision up to you Medicine, but you have to make a decision soon or we will crash and we will both be road kill along with Dark Horse here" Max relayed to Medicine in a clear voice and with a sense of urgency. Medicine will have to think quickly on what she will choose as she will meet certain doom if she doesn't make a decision soon. She thinks hard for a moment and tells Max her decision on what she thinks would be best.

~Raf is trying to figure out the decision Medicine took before writing, please wait warmly~

Decision taken, however process has been delayed due to the following reasons:

Exams
Lack of time with the PC.

Sure, no problem. Exams are probably a little bit more important than what we got going on here.

Careful though, if you take to long then someone else will make the decision for you and then your plans will be ruined *wink wink*. ; )

Seriously, I would love for more people to write a contribution to the story than what we have now. It's a community game, not a small group game we got going on now.

Ufufufu~ No, I wouldn't post something right after I already posted something before. I'm going to let other people write the story before I write another contribution to it. Remember, it's a medley, not a one man sprint to the finish line.

Okay, i think i'm well enough to start writing again, sorry if it went bad, i'll try my best... *ahem*

As those two options crossed Medicine's mind, the world seemed like it was frozen in time while she pondered, just getting rid of that thing would make her satisfied, as she would be free of the bumps and jumps and turns that terrorized her and her companions, but then.... why not spare the machine ? In a way he is just like her, a inanimate object that gained a mind of it's own and freedom, could she really erase all  the traces of Dark Horse's existence while having such a thing in common ? In the end all he wanted was to do what pleased him, racing.

Having such thought in her head, she clutched her hands and started speaking:

-"Let's just spare this machine, no point in destroying him entirely..."

Hearing that instantly makes Max get to work on doing so.
-"Are you sure ? Why is that ?" He/She asks with a doubtful face.

-"...it's just, he is just so alike me in a way, destroying him without a thought wouldn't be right, if he is too dangerous to let loose, then we should at least let him live on in some harmless way...."

Max's face slowly changes from doubt to a slight smile.
-"Yea... i guess you have a good point..."

The doll then returns to his/her/it's duties.



This is a little sample, if this is ok then i guess i'm fine and i can keep going.

I was about to write, but since it was interfered, I'll just post the alternate choice-making scene.

"Uhh... I'm not sure-" stuttered Annabelle as she tried to think a good decision.

"JUST CHOOSE!" yelled Max.

"DRIVE!"
---------------------------------

Then, Max drifted Dark Horse around a tight corner nearly dropping into their deaths, with a few crumbles of rocks falling due to the weight of the car. Medicine, who was closing her eyes because of fear reopened it and saw the grace of Maxwell changing gears, pushing the pedals while keeping the car on track. But then, Max realized something:

"Why are there cars at full speed- OH. I get it! There's a race going on! It's a long goddamn time I didn't went turbo with vehicles, now's the chance to once again live my glory!" exclaimed Maxwell as he pushed the pedal harder, trying to catch up with Makohashi in the first position. Medicine was once again trapped in a car speeding at full speed.

"No matter who drives it, I will never get out of this car!" yelled out Medicine. But due to the loud engines of Dark Horse combined with Max's excitement, Max didn't hear Medicine's complaint and continued his reckless driving. Upon arriving just beside Makohashi, she took a glance.

"Oh my, now a driver has taken it's place? Where did the car's soul go? Nevermind that, but it seems like the driver... IS A DOLL LIKE HER PASSENGER!" said Makohashi, surprised to see Annabelle, or it's true soul Maxwell driving like a professional racer. From the start, Makohashi was receiving all the shock since the arrival of Dark Horse, as if lightning struck every time she saw something very weird.

Nue in the sidecar was as bored as ever like the gunner of the Sdkfz 222, except that she is still trying to control her stomach. Then, she saw Aya not far and thought of a mischievous plan. She tried to use her ability on Aya, while Aya herself didn't notice the change. But the disguise caught the gunner's attention.

"Ernst! I'm seeing something in the sky. It looks like a..." reported the gunner as he tries to fill the blanks of the identity of this object his looking at. Then, all the blanks in his brain were filled and he finally found a sure conclusion.

"It's The Jug! (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/Republic_P-47N_Thunderbolt_in_flight.jpg) Are we clear to fire?" asked the gunner.

"If you have confirmed it, then fire at it, Manfred," replied Ernst. In reality, Ernst was too busy to think of a decision since he was bad at multi-tasking, so in case it really was an enemy aircraft, it would be a threat no more. Thus, Manfred with his gunning skill traversed the gun and fired a burst of 20mm rounds at Aya, who Manfred saw as the 'Jug'. The recoil however helped the armoured car from falling down the deep cliffs.

"Ayayaya! These Danmaku are faster than me!" said Aya as she tried the zigzag her way through the shells, while also trying to make sure her journal doesn't drop. A shell torn her left sleeve but thankfully, she was unharmed. Then, Nue thought of  herself:

"Disguise Prank Gone Wrong." She remembered when she last saw it on the title of a Youtube video. She didn't watch the video but she still understood the title. And so, she decided to disable her ability on Aya and now Manfred sees a flying woman with wings,
with torn clothes exposing a bit of her bra ;]
, in the air. He stopped firing and Ernst took notice.

"Did you took it down?" asked Ernst.

"Nope, it was a flying woman after all," replied Manfred.

"You're always like this, *sigh."

Cranking back a bit of time, when Manfred opened fire, Byakuren took notice since they are near to each other. At what the car was firing at, is what she saw some sort of flying blue orb. "Maybe that is their enemy?" wondered Byakuren, who suspected the orb to be spying on the foreign military that joined the race. Soon, the orb changed form into a more familiar looking being. Then, she looked at Nue who was sweating a bit fast. But she was a forgiver and wasn't all angry but she wanted to make sure she gives an advice later on.

Back to the present, the track was slowly getting steeper and Hans and the soldiers were hanging for their dear lives as Steiner was becoming more reckless. The Sdkfz 250 might have it's speed reduced but the same could also be said to the other racers. When the motorcycle drove into the sudden steep part of the track, Nue received her 'karma' as she experienced the G-force of a modern fighter pilot, thus once again puked onto the road. This time however, everyone dodged it and disregard it as another disgusting trap, except for the crew of the Panzer IV which recognized the same smell.

"The same person must've puked again. Lucky us we easily avoid it," said the tank commander while on the hatch.

Getting back to Franz and Wilhelm...

Now, the Sdkfz 250 entered the Forest of Magic as they heard crickets cricketing in the forest around them. Even if some of the plants were crushed by the half-track, it's small size could not do much damage to the forest, let alone causing deforestation. Franz looked around as he saw mushrooms bigger than a Tiger tank. But it was obvious those weren't the ones they were looking for.

Finally, Franz found their target when he glanced at a random mound of land. It was the mushroom that could heal even bullet wounds instantly just by eating it raw. He asked Wilhelm to halt, got down the from the passenger cabin, and walked carefully towards the mushroom. He proceeded to pick them up and put it in his sack. When he wanted to get back into the half-track, suddenly a creature pounced on him as he saw a glance of blonde hair with a red ribbon tied on it.

Alright, the thread lives on! I was worried that it would die with only but a whimper.

I was about to write, but since it was interfered, I'll just post the alternate choice-making scene.

So just to clarify, Annabelle/Max spared Dark Horse in your post? I'm assuming so since on both your post and StarlightHawk's, neither made the decision to eject from the car. Still Hannibal, Did Max actually break Dark Horse's AI in your post or did Max simply take the wheel and just drive only? I just wanted to clarify before I make another post again.

Meh, it was worth a shot. I can understand if a lot of people aren't into writing huge blocks of dialogue/text for something that they can't even claim as their own. Maybe some people are simply too busy to put in time for something that they see as just a silly open source fan-work? But hey, the advertisement is still up now some maybe it will just take a little more time for a fish to bite.

Don't be discouraged guys, we got this! Don't forget that even though the number of people participating in the writing department is small, as of me writing this post we have approximately 1400 total views. That just goes to show that even though only a small number are actively contributing to the writing side, quite a few people are reading it. I'm not doing this for fame or attention or anything but it is certainly a plus that people are actually reading our "literature".  :derp:

Quote
Also Grand, do you write your story on Microsoft Word first then copying it here or did you just write it here?

My modus operandi is that I simply hit the reply button on the last post in the thread, type everything into the text field until I'm finished and satisfied, then as insurance I copy everything I've written into an new untitled notepad document and then finally I post it to the thread. Pretty much every time I post a lengthy story post I then read over it again to check for spelling errors or anything else that requires fixing and just edit the post to apply those fixes.

Any time you write anything lengthy onto an online forum or anything that requires uploading, I find that it is *mandatory* to copy what you have written onto another platform like notepad before you post it. I have had instances in the past where I typed something lengthy (not on this thread thankfully), trusted that nothing would go wrong when posting it, hit post and then find that something goes wrong in the sending/processing process, either on the server side or on my internet/browser side. Then, when you press back to try and resend your post... you find that EVERYTHING YOU SPENT HOURS WRITING HAS VANISHED FOREVER!!! So, I learned the hard way to always make a temporary backup of everything you plan to post before doing so, just in case something screws up in the posting process. You can always delete your notepad document once your post is successfully posted.

Also, so far I have written every post in this story thread in one sitting. I find that if you finish what you start writing all at once then you won't forget any of the awesome ideas you have flowing around in your head as opposed to stopping half way through and then coming back to it later. I mean, it's not like I'm writing a 1000+ page novel here or anything.  :V

Yea, On mine, Medicine realized how alike she and Dark Horse were, so she let him live on as a regular racing car.

I like that you put some thought into just how alike Dark Horse and Medicine where and because of that she shows sympathy for him/it. It would be very easy to pick one of the two choices and not explain why but you went the extra mile by having her explain her choice thoughtfully which I think was great.

Anyway, expect my next story post soon guys.  ;)

Pardon the small wait there everybody. I got caught up in a few things for the past few days so that interfered with me writing the next part of the story. But now... lets continue!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wilhelm couldn't see what was on top of him clearly due to the low lighting that peered through the rough tree branches and leaves above him but what he could tell is that the figure on top of him was menacing, a bit on the small side and... feminine? Wilhelm struggled in fright at the sudden surprise and after a brief second he broke himself free, pushed away the figure and ran back towards Franz at the half track. The figure, who was still merely a silhouette from the light behind it, stood there in a threatening stance as the two Germans struggled with their gear to prepare themselves for this mysterious threat. They pulled out two MP-40 rifles and clumsily began to load rounds into the chambers, still shaken at their ambush.

Still in front of them, the figure pushed back it's blonde hair and put its hand behind it's back to reach for something. It pulled out something long, silvery and sharp looking with an intimidating unsheathing sound. It looked like... a scythe! It's blade glistened light off of it from the skyline above. Our German duo gasped at the amazing weapon and how it shined so brightly. They were so amazed at it that for a second they forgot to keep preparing their weapons. As soon as the scythe was laid bare for all to see, the scythe was flung behind the assailants back in a throwing position and at that same time the duo finally had their rifles ready and aimed at the dark figure.

The scythe was then thrown towards the two Germans, spinning rapidly at them like a flash of circular silver light. It was so fast that the duo were barely able to react to it coming towards them. Before the spinning scythe registered in their minds that it was coming towards them, it had already arrived! The scythe stopped at Franz first and it chopped his MP-40 rifle clean in half right besides his face as he was looking down the sight of his gun. Seeing as his rifle pretty much disintegrated in front of him from the sharp cut of the flying spinning scythe, he let out a loud noise of surprise to now see that he was disarmed. The scythe did not stop there though, just as soon as Franz's rifle was chopped in half, it ricochet from Franz and then headed directly towards Wilhelm. Wilhelm's rifle was chopped in half instantly by the spinning scythe as well, rendering it useless towards there unknown attacker. Wilhelm let out his famous Wilhelm scream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdbYsoEasio) at seeing his rifle destroyed and he fell backwards from the wind that the scythe was spreading from slicing through the air. The scythe then headed straight back to the figure, who caught the handle of the scythe with ease and made it look like child's play to catch a spinning blade of death.

The figure then pointed it's hand towards the sky, which then made all the lights around it start to light up more, making seeing the figure clearly much easier. Franz and Wilhelm looked on in astonishment to finally see their attacker clearly. They did not expect their attacker to be such a dainty looking young woman when compared to the threatening looking silhouette from just before. This woman had blonde hair that was down to her shoulders and was curled up towards the ends. Her red ribbon was not attached to her hair but was actually attached to her white sunhat that she wore on her head. Her eyes glowed bright yellow with a piercing glare. She wore a long flowing red dress that went down to her ankles that were matched with two clean white socks that amazingly were not dirty from her walking around barefoot and of course this woman's scythe was carried on her shoulder with its blade wrapped around the back of her neck. She pointed towards the two disarmed Germans and and shouted her introduction at them.

"I'm Elly, head gatekeeper of mansion Mugenkan and caretaker of the Lake of Blood. Anyone who dares to trespass on my masters grounds with have their heads decapitated without mercy!"

[attach=1]

Wilhelm still looked a little shaken from having the close encounter with Elly's scythe so close to his face but Franz spoke up with his questions to ease his obvious confusion. "M...Mu-gen-kan?" Franz stuttered out from his mouth while still obviously coming to terms with everything that just happened. "That's right!" Elly said with a smirk, "behind me here is the marvelous mansion Mugenkan and I am it's gatekeeper. Sure, the mansion might not have its master live here anymore and sure, the mansion has fallen into a decrepit condition from not being lived in for many years now, but damn it I swore an oath to Miss Kazami that I would protect this mansion from outsiders with my life if necessary. It's been more than a decade since I last seen Miss Kazami but my duty is my duty!" Elly spoke directly to the German duo but after that a tear drop rolled down her face. "Oh miss Kazami, why have you left me here with this empty mansion all to myself? Where could you possibly be right now?" Elly spoke to herself as she tried to hold back her tears and keep her brave face on.

"Kazami?... didn't we speak to a woman named Kazami just a little whole ago?" Wilhelm turn and asked Franz quietly who's attention was still directed at Elly holding back her sobbing. "I don't care about that! What is this Mugenkan and lake of blood? We were suppose to be in the forest of magic to collect these magical healing mushrooms but where on earth are we now?" Franz barked his questions at Elly in a state of annoyance for not knowing where he was now.

"Oh that... Mugenkan and the border of the fantasy world is right next to the forest of magic, so it seems that you probably traveled a little too far out of the forest. Sucks to be you. The lake of blood is just over there to my right, however over the years the blood has slowly began to dissipate and now there is nothing left but fresh water. No idea why that happened but at least I now have a place to wash my clothes. Mugenkan is the great mansion of fantasies behind me... but it has been a lot more fantastical in the past when my master actually slept here" Elly described to Franz the area around them. Franz looked over to the lake and sure enough, the water in the lake was crystal clear. Franz found it hard to believe that blood used to once be the entire contents of that lake... Was this Elly girl telling the truth? He found it hard to believe a woman who just attacked him.

Wilhelm spoke up next. "Wait a moment... you said before that this mansion has fallen into a ruined state or something because nobody lives there anymore. If you are the mansions guard then don't you live there?" Wilhelm puzzled to himself over this contradiction at Elly. "Oh that... Miss Kazami never actually let me stay inside the mansion because she wanted the place all to herself. I live in that humble little tent over there outside of the estate. Miss kazami has forbidden me to ever enter the mansion and has told me to only guard the exterior... douse she not trust me with the mansion at all? *sob sob*" Elly began to look a little upset again when thinking about her position. The two Germans looked over to the tent close by to the left of them and sure enough, a small yellow tarp tent was there that was small enough to only house one person. They could see a few spare items inside the tent through the open flap like a sleeping bag and some scattered books and a small campfire was warmly glowing just outside the entrance. Elly was obviously serious when she said she was forbidden from entering the mansion under orders from her neglectful mistress.

Franz frowned a face of disinterest and shrugged his shoulders. "listen you weird lady, me and my buddy here are just on a mission to gather these special mushrooms for science sake and to explore and document the surrounding area. Your little sob story really is of no concern to us. If you want to see what suffering really looks like, you should come to our special camps we have back home. But for now, please just let us pass and we will be on our way" Franz said in a serious tone to try and reason with this easily upset woman.

Elly wiped a teardrop from her left eye and then got serious again with a menacing look with a hint of curiosity. "You two... your human, aren't you?... It has been so long since I have seen humans in the flesh like yourselves. The last humans I saw where dressed in red and one was in black. They defeated my master who I was sworn to protect. I really am strong, you know? Despite my mistakes I make when I underestimate people" Elly said as a grin was slowly growing across her face. "What are you getting at here?" Franz asked in both confusion and annoyance at this woman who was taking up his time he wanted to spend elsewhere.

"What I am saying is that I am loyal right to the end, even more so when others have already given up. I haven't seen miss Kazami in years and my friend Kurumi had enough of waiting for her return and returned to hell long ago, forcing me to protect both the mansion *AND* the lake. Despite her still being my friend, she was weak and unloyal! All those who desecrate this sacred ground of my master will be punished and maybe then, my dear mistress will return to me! I will prove once again that I am indeed strong, after my defeat to the red and black one's. Maybe then my mistress will return to me with open arms!" Elly said while she began to look increasingly erratic with every sentence.

"I don't like where this is going, Wilhelm" Franz spoke softly to Wilhelm while Wilhelm replied "No, me neither!". Elly then groaned angrily and shook her head from side to side. "Enough of this time wasting! It's time for me to perform my duty that I have been patiently waiting to do for years" Elly barked at the Germans with a look of intense anger plastered along her face. The German duo began to brace themselves for something bad but they still had a look on them of fear of what to come next.

Elly raised her scythe behind her like she was going to throw it again towards them. Before she threw it at them for one last time, she uttered one final sentence. "When I send you to hell, if you meet a devil called Kurumi there, tell her I'm okay... and that I'm still loyal!" Elly muttered her line with anger but with a twist of coolness to it. She then threw her scythe again at the German duo as hard as she could, and this time she intended to kill.

The scythe span quickly towards them and again made slicing noises through the air as it traveled toward them. Wilhelm screamed in fright and crouched down with his hands over his eyes, cowering over his potential demise. Franz stepped back a step when seeing the scythe travel towards his quickly but instead of cowering, he thought quickly as to what he could do to stop the scythe coming to slice his head off. His brain was ticking as fast as it could to think of something to do to stop this blade of death taking his life. A moment past... but then he thought of something that might work.

His MP-40 rifle might have been chopped in half, but he still had a Luger pistol holstered to his side like a cowboy from the wild west. Without time to think it through, he quickly drew the pistol from his holster and fired at the scythe that was speeding towards him. he hoped to himself that it would do something as the bullet flew from the chamber and began to collide with the scythe head on. The bullet from the Luger hit the scythe dead on in the center of the blade... and then a miracle happened. The bullet ricocheted off of the scythe and the scythe stopped spinning toward the two Germans. With a loud *ping* noise, the scythe was pushed away by the bullet and began to descend down to the ground away from them. Success! The bullet stopped the scythe from slicing them up and it stopped the momentum of the scythe that was now twirling away from them. But still, the bullet ricocheted off of the scythe... which was now directed towards Elly!

Before she could dodge or even recognize this stray piece of lead, the bullet hit her in her right shoulder and it pierced right through her, coming through out the other side. She let out a small gasp at the shock of getting shot for the first time in her life by a real world bullet and she began to clutch her wounded shoulder with her left hand, as if her shot shoulder was Paralyzed in pain. She began to sway and grow light on her feet as her bright yellow eye's began to grow dull... then she collapsed on her back.

Wilhelm looked on at what happened and as if he forgot about her trying to kill him a moment ago, he rushed to her side to see what happened more closely. While Wilhelm ran to Elly's side, Franz simple holstered his still smoking Luger pistol and walked slowly over to her. He walked over not to see if she was okay like Wilhelm did, but to see if this scythe slinging woman was actually dead. Wilhelm knelled down over Elly to inspect her body. Thankfully, she was still breathing and was wearing a look of pain on her face as she continued to hold her wound where she was shot. She would live... but she was still in a lot of pain. "Gaaah, urrrgg... this pain... I have never felt anything like this before... Grrrrah!" Elly continued to wince from the shock of the shot, barely noticing Wilhelm looming over her.

"Poor girl... she was only doing her job and remaining loyal to what she believed in, her mistress. She would make a fine lieutenant to our F?hrer, she would. Wilhelm said will looking remorseful over her pain stricken body. Elly still didn't notice him as she was still groaning in agony over her pain. Then... Wilhelm had an idea... the green mushrooms, of course! He had a handful of them in his pack so it wouldn't hurt him if he spared one to ease the suffering of one downed combatant. Wilhelm dug into his pack and pulled out a single small green mushroom, then he looked over to Franz. "shall we?" asked Wilhelm, seeking approval from Franz as it was obvious to him what he was about to attempt. Franz frowned for a moment, though about his options and then finally shrugged a single shoulder. "...fine, consider this only a test run of the mushrooms, nothing else" Franz responded to Wilhelm coldly, but still felt a small soft spot over the girl who fought with them valiantly. Wilhelm proceeded to put the mushroom in Elly's open mouth. "Here, eat this, it will help you" said Wilhelm as he clumsily put the mushroom in her mouth and she began to slowly chew on it before finally swallowing it.

"Aaaah, the green ones... I have these regularly for dinner over the fire" Elly spoke softly with her eyes closed as she began to relax a little and not feel so pained. The effects were almost immediate, the bullet wound began to slowly close itself over with new skin and the two Germans looked on in astonishment as the wound slowly knitted itself back together through the hole in her dress. The mushrooms had worked, even on a youkai like Elly.

Elly opened her eye's slowly to Wilhelm leaning over her with a slight smile coming across her face. "You... you guys must be EX bosses... such power... with only one hit... heh... I feel stupid" Elly said while she began to look sleepy but also peaceful. "Nah" replied Franz "I am simply an intermediate in basic firearms training at boot camp" he said in a slight joking way. "You humans... sure are weird" replied Elly with a short breath inbetween. "It's been a long time... since I fought like that... it feels nice... to not be forgotten by the world... thank you" sighed Elly as she looked on into Wilhelm's eyes. Wilhelm had his lip tremble a bit and a single tear rolled down his cheek, feeling a little emotional over the whole series of events. "I think... I'll have... a small sleep now" said Elly one last time and then she proceeded to fall asleep, probably from the effect of the mushrooms or simply from exhaustion.

Wilhelm picked Elly up in his arms and carried her to her humble yellow tent where he carefully put her on top of her sleeping bag, while still fast asleep. Wilhelm wiped a tear from his eyes and went outside to see Franz again. Franz was smoking a cigarette as Wilhelm met up with him again. "This place" said Franz suddenly "really lacks common sense" he said as he dropped his cigarette and squashed it with his boot. "Yeah" replied Wilhelm in simple agreement.

"Still, we can't spend all of our time here when we have a task to complete at hand Wilhelm. We may have some of those miracle mushrooms that we can have our science department analyze but we still have the mission of mapping out this area. That was our prime objective all along, Wilhelm" said Franz with a hint of assurance in himself that he must push forward. Wilhelm nodded in approval, knowing that there was still a job to be done. "The next area we are going to investigate... is that mansion the girl spoke of" said Franz decisively as he made up his mind on where to go next. "But" Wilhelm stuttered "that's the place that Elly was protecting from outsiders. Surely there are other places we can go" stated Wilhelm as he remembered how important Mugenkan was to Elly.

"Our mission is to gather intel on all the places of significance in this area Wilhelm, and if that means exploring a crumby old neglected mansion in the middle of nowhere then so be it. Besides, since the place is abandoned, maybe we will find something of significant value that was lost for someone like us to find. You know how Goering loves to add new pieces to his art collection, right?" said Franz with a smile as he thought about setting foot inside the old manor. "C'mon Wilhelm, we are doing something that could greatly benefit the German people and possibly enrich our culture if we find something great inside. I know you are curious too as well as I am to see what's inside that warrants a gatekeeper to stand guard" Franz said with a look of curiosity and mischief in his eye. Wilhelm looked to his right and said "well, maybe just a little...". "C'mon then, let us see what is so magical about this mansion of fantasy as that girl put it" said Franz as he proceed to walk on ahead towards the old mansion. "Aaah, wait up Franz!" shouted Wilhelm as he jogged briskly to keep up with Franz.

----------------------
Meanwhile, several hours later at the same location
----------------------

"Oooh mister ghost!... mister ghost... where are you?... show yourself right now!" shouted Remilia as she walked through the same area that the German duo just went through. "My goodness, I've been looking all over this forest for this Crimson Ghost and it's getting late already. "I'm all alone, hungry and tired... looking for this ghost sucks!" said Remilia as she was getting cranky with her uneventful exploration. She put her hand above her eyes and scanned the area carefully to see if anything was interesting. While scanning the area she looked upon the mansion that is known to many others as Mugenkan, but to her she did not know. "Bah! the cleaner of that mansion should be scolded for such lackluster maintenance. Seriously, I am tempted to offer the owner of that dump Sakuya for a day so they can make the place look nicer on the eyes" Remilia uttered to herself in disgust at the eyesore of this mansion. "No matter, I'm growing tired of looking for this thing that I cannot find. I'm going to head back to my mansion and have myself a cup of tea and a nap before I look for that ghost again... probably, depends if I feel like it... besides, tonight's the night of a full moon. One of my favorite times of the month!" Remilia grinned to herself when thinking of seeing her precious moon again. She fluttered her little vampire wings and took to the sky, heading back to the Scarlet Devil Mansion as dusk was setting in across the land.

And just out of earshot from Remilia's ears, the Crimson Ghost she was looking for roared greatly in the distance around the Youkai mountain, still engaged in the race that lingered on still.

.......... Oh ! Right ! It's my turn now.

I guess i'll update....... on the Star/Plant/Doll trio then !

Just wait til classes are over though. :P
Pardon the small wait there everybody. I got caught up in a few things for the past few days so that interfered with me writing the next part of the story. But now... lets continue!

It's no bother for me, if i can wait for MarisaStory, i can wait for this too !

Sorry for double post and the wait.
Without further wait.

Back to our trio, Alice, Yuuka and Marisa, they were watching the race from the sky after finally catching up to them.

"Amazing, even though they're travelling by ground on the cars and all that, they still move so swiftly, it's not easy to keep up with their vehicles." - Yuuka commented.
"Well, they supposedly are professional racers, so that much was to be expected, but i'm still rather surprised to see Byakuren on it, who would have known she enjoyed this kind of thing." - Alice adds in.
"Oi, true enough, however we can't say the same for Nue right there, i'm certain she let out a bit of what she had today two times in only a few minutes-ze." - Marisa complements.

As if by command, another sharp turn followed by a jump made poor Nue let out some more of that delicious food made by Byakuren.

"Huh, make that three." - She says.
"I guess pranksters seem to have weak stomachs. Why did she even join that race in the first place ?" - Yuuka questions.
"Masochism ? A new way to lose weight ? Some kind of training ?" - Alice suggests.
Both Marisa and Yuuka shrug.
"We can't say." - Both say in unison.

Alice takes up a slightly surprised face, but quickly goes back normal.
"I guess..... i wonder where that Medicine doll went..."
The other two look at her with curiosity.
"Oh, so you ran into her ?" - Yuuka asks.
"More like she ran into my house." - Alice replies. "But yea, we met a little while ago and she was the one who told me you two had left without me."
Both Marisa and Yuuka point towards the other.
"It's all her fault ! - Both say.
They then turn to face each other.
"What do you mean MY fault ?" - They say again in sync."

Both drew their "weapons" to start another "friendly skirmish", but before they even got themselves at ready, a simple small hammer falls on each of their heads.
"Ugh !" - Both let out loud.
"Enough ! We still have the race to see you know !" Alice turns to the dolls holding the hammers. "Thanks for the help you two."
The two dolls nod.
"Okay....." - Yuuka and Marisa faintly say.
"Good, now behave or the next time i'll tell Shanghai to grab the mid-sized ones."
".......go back to your little crush will ya ? - Yuuka complains.
"Huh ? Did you say anything ?" - Alice stops.
"N-Nothing !"

And with that they resume with watching the race.

Edit: i guess i didn't really have to edit all of it as it seems, is this alright ?

"You were near the trampled flowers ! It was only natural you would be suspicious !" - Yuuka defends.
"Shooting danmaku towards someone unaware isn't the action you take when you have suspicions on someone ! I think..."

Um... you should read back a little. I did say that Yuuka does used to race, know that's a tire track, and just tease Marisa for the heck of it.

Edit: And now because of that, i can't write anything. Even those this should be my debut for a long time...

Damnit Yuuka ! Now i have to rereredo the whole thing ! >_>

Okay, stand by while Rafael.exe starts up to edit it, hopefully i don't overlook anything else. (It's quite hard to keep track of stuff on this race.)

Edit: I think i'm done, using the phone for this is rather annoying to say the least.

Reading over it, there wasn't anything that really broke our previously established continuity in there so I say its all good. Keep up the good work Starlight.  :)

To our readers and fellow authors

Is everybody happy with the direction our story is going? I get a feeling that the race part of the story is something that not many people want to contribute on and/or expand so if that's the case I can write a conclusion to that part and we can take the story into another direction if people want. I thought that maybe Hannibal was bored with the race story since he took Franz and Wilhelm away from the race and took them to the forest looking for magic mushrooms. But still, what dose everybody else think?

Thanks ! I try my best, there's still much i need to improve though, but maybe this means i can become an good parser.

And about the race, i think it's nice, but maybe putting a focus more on the racers problems with the traps and racer x racer interaction would make it better ? I dunno, i do wanna know why Nue is still on the bike instead of just getting out and watching the race from above.

My turn ~
Before that though, I would like to end the race as soon as possible since everyone is getting tired of it. So hope ya guys don't mind.

The finishing line was just a few hundred metres away and everyone was gathering up at the said place, which was the very top of Youkai Mountain. Even Remillia showed up to see if this so-called 'Crimson Ghost' will appear. Then in the horizon, they saw each of the vehicles' shining, reflecting the orange sunlight of the evening sky.

"Yes, The finishing line is just up ahead!" exclaimed Makohashi as she pushed the pedal hard. Even if she already won the last race against Steiner, but greed thought that it would be better if she won twice, especially against so many racers in many different vehicles. She looked at the rear mirror and saw both Dark Horse and Steiner quickly catching up on her. Now that the finishing is just up ahead and no more corners except for just a straight road, this could be her last chance of keeping the 1st place. If she gets cut now, her chance could have said good bye to her.

Meanwhile in Dark Horse, Maxwell saw the finishing line as well, and started the accelerate the car at full speed. Gladly at this time Su-san woke up from her faint, but not yet realized by the two front-sitters. Medicine however saw the finishing line but could not understand what is it, until she saw Maxwell excited and breathing heavily indicated that it must be passed first if they wanted to win.

Steiner saw the finishing line as well as the soldiers in the passenger cabin including Hans, in which made them excited. Not to mention they already forgot about mapping Gensokyo.

"Yes, ze finishing line is just ahead. If we can beat this cat girl, then I will be satisfied and make the Fuhrer smile!" said Steiner to himself aloud as he also accelerate the half-track to it's limit.

"Oh look, we're going to win the race, Nue!" said Byakuren happily and cheerfully. Nue however didn't care and was instead glad she didn't need to endure her stomach.

For the last minute, a speed camera made by the Kappas was placed to accurately decide who wins the first place. Slowly did they wait for the racers to cross the finishing line with their hearts beating as faster as ever. At the very last moment, a split second video recorded and the racers finally crossed the finishing line and braked as hard as possible, which kicked up so much dust like a smoke grenade. The crowd cheered at the racers, which was followed by the Panzer IV, the last to cross the finishing line.

Then out all the dust and smoke, Steiner and Makohashi ran the the camerawoman to see who was first. The Kappa sighed when the two scrambled for the photograph, only then to see Hans casually pick it up and see it in detail. When the 'sandstorm' cleared, Hans stood up on the Panzer IV with his left leg on the 75mm main gun as he announced who won actually. Then he said out aloud:

"The winner falls down to The Motorcyclist!"

The crowd cheered loudly at Byakuren who gracefully waved her hand at the crowd. Makohashi and Steiner simply could not believe it and took the photograph from Hans. True, a simple blur of a motorcycle and a woman with a gradient of purple and brown hair passing through between Makohashi and Dark Horse at an incredible speed, they were disappointed. But when Steiner saw his half-track draw more closer to the finishing line than Makohashi, a grin was slapped upon his face.

"Yes, Even if I don't get the first, but at least I defeated you in the name of the Fatherland!" said Steiner loudly at Makohashi, which made her embarrassed a bit. Meanwhile everyone else gathered around Byakuren.

SO yeah it's not really surprising since I rushed this. So it doesn't sound cool or awesome enough. But hey at least we finished a burden am I right?

A little add-on I almost forgot:
"So let's see what masterpiece your troops have in mapping..." said Steiner as he retrieve each of the clipboards from the German soldiers tasked with the mapping. To his surprise, the only thing visible on those clipboards was a crude drawing of a mountain. Steiner then embarrassingly facepalmed on his past decision. Hans only sighed with disappointment.

"Don't worry, we'll do it slowly next time." Said one of the soldiers. Some Gensokyan villagers who happened to pass by overheard the conversation could not understand what they were trying to do. What they do know however is that their doings ended in an epic failure.

As the audience (and a certain Tengu) gather against the embarrased priestess, Nic- I mean Nitori came to Makohashi to celebrate the news.

"Heya ghost! Great job bringing in the outsider to the race! Just think,not only it's the first ever 6-way battle to the top of the mountain, it's the first ever race with the outsider joining in with their's exotic vehicle!"

"..."

"The crowd's already livid with just that, but then these newcomer not only smoke them, but also the Crimson Ghost with a motorcycle! Just think of the money that came from advertising this event... "

"Hmph! It's just that uphill isn't my specialty anyway!"

"Don't be so down! Remember who is sponsoring and tuning your car in the first place.... With the inordinace amount of money that came from merchandising the exotic vehicle and motocycle's model, the priestess's poster, the BD about this event,... You would be the one profit in the end."

"Again, I'm not sure whose side are you on, Nick..."

"Again, I'm always on the side with the most oppoturnity.... and don't call me Nick!"

As they're having a friendly conversation as usual, the annoying Tengu reporter finally came to this side to interview.

"So, what do you think about losing to the Black Comet?"

"They already have that nickname?"

"It's look like the audiences named her as such after seeing her zipping through the road and into the finish line (not that I have anything to do with it) ... So, would this affect your performance in the upcoming Heaven Climb?"

After hearing that, both of them suddenly tensed their face. And with a serious look, the ghost replied:

"...Yes. I will be more ready then."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"... it's time for that already?"

Hearing such from the distance, Yuuka suddenly seem to reminiscent about something.

"Hm... why are you stopping in mid-air? Did you forgot something already?" (Marisa)

"...Something like that."

Suddenly, a very dark and menacing aura surrounded her, hiding her face. This make both Marisa and Alice to flinch back in fear. Not even glancing at the two who is sweating waterfall, she politely said:

"Excuse me, I need to return to someplace to get something... Would you please go ahead without me?"

"S-Sure..."

And then, without even turning back, she's fly straight to a certain place...

While making a very, very dark smile.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, back in the mansion.

While the two German search for the entire house, they happen to find something in the garage (?).

It's a certain car.

Excellent so far. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was planning to have Byakuren win the race. It was fitting after all, since she was the one who was taking it the least seriously.

Anyway, onto the after race festival!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the site of the finishing line at the top of the mountain, the crowd shouted "Namusan... Namusan!" again and again with glee at celebrating their races victor. The numerous kappa around Byakuren pushed her gently towards an elevated stage where a small kappa made microphone was waiting for someone to speak into it through the speakers on both sides of the platform. Aya, when she noticed the crowd moving to the platform to begin a speech of some kind, brushed Makohashi aside and said "sorry honey, another time for that interview. I gotta go where the scoop is hot" as she flew on ahead above the crowd. Makohashi simply pouted at being treated like a second rate racer that nobody cared about and she slowly made her way to the stage to see what the fuss was about with Nitori by her side.

Byakuren, Nue, a couple of presenter kappa and some tengu where now on the stage as the crowd cheered on and more loudly. Byakuren was a bit bewildered from all this sudden attention towards her and Nue had a look on her face that she honestly didn't give a damn about it all. The Kappa spoke into the microphone and cheerfully shouted "humans and youkai! I am proud to present to you all the winner of our impromptu race to the top of the mountain... the lovely head priestess of Myouren temple, Byakuren Hijiri!". The crowd roared with excitement once again and all that Byakuren could do was smile a sweet smile to the crowd and bow slightly with her appreciation to all who cheered for her. A tengu came to the side of Byakuren suddenly and popped a shampain bottle with a loud *plomp* as the cork was removed with a simple twist. Shampain suds streamed all over Byakuren as it erupted all over her and soaked her all over. The liquid beverage rolled down over her cleavage, her tight leather outfit and her gradient hair and she had to wipe the bubbles out of her eyes... but she didn't mind, it was fun and all part of the festivities.

Another tengu then presented Byakuren with a modest looking gold colored trophy that had a small inscription of a race car. She clumsily fumbled with it a little since she was still wet from the poured shampain but then she held it up high above her head towards the crowd which cheered for her victory still. The kappa spoke again on the microphone to Byakuren "congratulations on winning the race to the top of the mountain, head priestess. You did a wonderful job of dodging those traps and handling those winding mountain roads on a vehicle that was different from all the others". Byakuren waved her hand from side to side modestly and said "Oh no, no... it was nothing really, I just wanted to race for the fun of it, really I did" she said with a gentle voice honestly. The kappa then questioned her more "well, what will you do now that you won the mountain race? Will you participate again next time?" the kappa asked inquisitively. Byakuren looked down at her trophy that was just presented to her, smiled and replied "well... the first thing I'm going to do is place this trophy in the main public area of the temple for all the visitors to see and enjoy. I couldn't keep to myself such a prized treasure of the kappa. I will preserve this trophy for all to see!" she said with a decisive tone of generosity to the public. Once again, the crowd erupted with cheers and chants of "namusan!" and Byakuren added "everyone is welcome to come and see the trophy here for yourself at the temple, this is for you everyone!" she said as she waved to the crowd again. Nue then stepped out front on the platform besides Byakuren who then was holding a greenish and tense face that looked worrying.

*Barf!*

Nue puked into the trophy as her arms were clasped around her sides. Thankfully, the trophy caught all of it into its cup and it didn't go anywhere else. The crowd shouted a combined "eeewwww..." and others gasped at the suddenness of such a disgusting act. Byakuren thought quickly and said "oh... well it will be presented at the temple once we get it cleaned up perfectly and my race partner Nue here is all better ^_^;". The crowd, as if forgotten that someone just puked on stage, erupted in cheers again and Nue started to look a little better again.

The kappa then spoke into the microphone again with another announcement "Now that our race here is concluded, join us again in an hour when we begin our after race celebration festival! Be sure to bring out those kimono's ladies as it's themed like a summer festival this year. Meet back here at the top of the mountain at nightfall when we will light up the night sky with festivities and fun for the whole family!" The crowd once again cheered with delight to once again have something to entertain them for the evening.

And with that, the roads that sprung up from underground for this race started to slowly shift back to the depths from which they came, with a slight rumble of course that made the ground underneath everyone's feet vibrate a little. The paved roads sank back into the ground and trap doors closed them away like they were never there to begin with. The mountain was once again filled with greenery and natural beauty and didn't look like a race track. The crowd started to disperse but there where still a few stragglers left behind that didn't want to to move so quickly. The kappa, the tengu and few others started to prepare the grounds for the festival.

The land was now dark as the starlit sky shone overhead. Truely this day in Gensokyo was a busy one for many people and beings. But still, the night has just begun and a new event has just begun, a grand festival that many are now enjoying.

1 hour later...

Lanterns were strewn across high poles and tents where selling many things or hosting carnival games. The usual was there: fish catching, apple bobbing, knocking over bottles, the usual summer festival fare. Up above it all was a familiar youkai beating two drums with great big sticks on a high platform... it was Suika and she looked as drunk as ever. Down below that, human, youkai and all in between were enjoying the festivities and many where dressed for the occasion while others didn't bother. Everyone was there dotted over various places. The Moriya's were busy trying to win a carnival game of bottle toppling while dressed in beautiful kimono's. Kasen was frequenting the food stalls, stuffing her face with cotton candy and corn dogs on sticks. Reimu was in a lonely stall in a far corner, begging for donations to her shrine and offering fortunes in exchange, but nobody cares about some dumb old shrine. All the cars in the race were lined up in a row for all to gander at while the kappa gave lectures to the unknowing humans on how automobiles functioned in the outside world. Dark Horse was there and so was the Crimson Ghost, Byakurens motorcycle and all the German fleets vehicles were there too.

The Germans of course were there too. A few of the more friendly ones were giving speeches to a few small crowds of onlookers on how their vehicles worked and their history of German autobahns. Most of them though were sitting in one small corner keeping to themselves, feeling like outsiders to all of these strange things around them. That didn't last long though, a Nitori and a few other kappa brought them some saki and helpings of some of the festivals food on offer. After a few shots of the strong stuff in all of their systems, The Germans were enjoying themselves and mingling more with the crowd while others sang foreign German songs in drunken ecstasy.

Alice and Marisa were over by the cars on display. They didn't have time to go back to their homes and change into their kimono's since Marisa was still limping a bit from her leg wound but it didn't matter, nobody was expecting them to change. Remilia came up to them from the crowd and was followed by Pachi and Sakuya, all dressed in beautiful, elaborately decorated kimono's with their hair pinned up high. Remilia barked to the people by the Crimon Ghost car "So this is the ghost that haunted the forest of magic near my manor? Why didn't anybody tell me that it was simply an ordinary car! How boring!" Remilia pouted at her disappointed. Patchouli sighed at Remilia's realization of the truth behind the ghost "Miss Remilia, if it wasn't for you hurrying so much to see the ghost for yourself and if you simply listened to me, I could have told you myself that the legend was actually a car in the first place". Remilia looked shocked at Patchouli's statement "What!?! You mean to tell me that I could have not wasted all my time today looking for something that didn't exist if you simply told me? Well, now I'm just mad! Auuugg!" Remilia then kicked over a trash bin to her side that thankfully wasn't full. Sakuya simply made a "^^;" face at her outburst.

Suddenly, the front drivers door of Dark Horse flung open and Medicine toppled out of the seat and landed on her face below with a thud. Maxwell simply jumped out of the car neatly on his feet, in contrast to Medicine's clumsy exit. "Finally, I'm free from this metal prison!" Medicine gasped as she raised her face upwards from her laying position and hyperventilated. Max shrugged his shoulders and replied "Well, all's well that ends well" as he pushed the car door closed behind him. Medicine got up and brushed herself off from her fall.

Alice was then reminded of something from earlier when she saw Medicine fall out of the car like she did. "Hey Marisa" questioned Alice "I don't think after all this that we found out who squashed all those flowers at the start of the day, did we?". Marisa blinked a few times and thought to herself "Your right, after all this time and we still have no clue on who did it... how troublesome" Marisa said with her hand raised to her cheek. Just then, Makohashi, dressed now in a beautiful red Kimono, approached the two. "I think I might know who was the one that squashed those flowers earlier today" exclaimed Makohashi too Alice and Marisa. "You know who it was?" Alice questioned Makohashi with a puzzling expression. "Consider it an educated guess..." Makohashi said as she walked towards Dark Horse, laid down on the ground and slid under Dark Horse to examine underneath it. A moment went past as she fiddled around but then she came back from under with something in her hand. She walked back to Marisa and Alice and showed them what she found. "Aha, see?... Suzuran petals! Dark Horse here was the one who damaged the flower field you hold dear. These petals were stuck in the suspension of the car for all this time and it was the only car I believe that was big enough to make such an area of squashed flowers, as Byakurens bike is nowhere near as big enough". Alice and Marisa looked at the petals in Makohashi's hand and let out a sigh "It was this car all this time?" Alice looked disappointed "So much for investigating a big incident, eh Marisa?" Alice said as she looked over at Marisa. "Your telling me!" Said Marisa as she let out a bug hmpth. Makohashi just closed her eyes and smiled from seeing them so worked up over a few squashed flowers.

"I bet Yuuka would love to know that it was this dark car that damaged the field she valued so much" said Alice with a tired expression on her face. "You got that right" replied Marisa "If she knew right now, she would probably master spark this car into a series of atoms and flip out!" Marisa let out in a joking matter. "But still, I wonder what was so important that Yuuka had to leave like that so suddenly? So mysterious..." Marisa puzzled to herself.

Wow, I am surprised with the activity spike. It's also amazing how we started with a terrible mess that seemed like nobody can tidy up, managed to become a great work of a F'd up fanfiction. Nice work lads! Also, what would be the next major plot aside from Franz and Wilhelm? Another crossover or an original made-up thingy?

P.S.
I'm not knowledgeable about the PC-98 era history. So you guys go ahead first for those two.

Honestly, I kinda rushed my last contribution because later that day I was planning to meetup with my friends in town but I was determined to make sure there was an after race celebration festival so I spent about 2 hours hammering that out and as soon as I finished it was time for me to get going. Thankfully I wasn't late so all was well.

I was planning on having something huge and awe inspiringly epic go down at the festival later on but I'm thinking I've probably dominated and steered this story enough due to my obsessive compulsive need to TIE UP ALL LOOSE ENDS!!!

Possible things we could do next could be:

1) finish the arc of Franz and Wilhelm exploring Mugenkan (duh)
2) have some fun with our favorite characters enjoying the festival (fan service optional ; D)
3) write about what happens next to our German explorers. Do they go back to the fatherland or the Japanese government satisfied with what they have seen and to report? Or dose something else happen? Still, we have a bunch of drunk German soldiers fooling around in Gensokyo right now!
4) We should write a conclusion to what happens with Maxwell/Annebell. Dose he leave his doll body and go back to heaven? Dose he stay in Gensokyo and become a new member of the Touhou cast? It's up to us if we want to conclude his story.
5) We could write some more about Makohashi and what happens with her after this race. We could just leave her and forget about it but she could be fleshed out more and given a nice conclusion to her story.
6) We can send Medicine back to bed in her Suzuran field... or stuff her in a tree and forget about her... nobody cares about Medicine!
7) we have to decide possibly through a vote on if we are going to end this story soon since the race is over and we can wrap everything else up or if we keep going with this story and take it in a new direction.

If we decide to end the story soon we can focus on wrapping everything up and ending all plots for good, Hannibal can then post our story to Fanfiction.net and we can start a brand new story in a new thread... Shenanigans of Maiden Community 2!... but we don't have to if everyone wants to continue this story, just an idea.

Quote
I'm not knowledgeable about the PC-98 era history.

Lol, Elly is basically a less fleshed out version of Mei Ling. Mei Ling guards the SDM, Elly guards Mugenkan... there really isn't much else to Elly's character and I know since I completed that game with the English patch with Reimu and Marisa. Mugenkan is also just Yuuka's old mansion, there isn't really much else to it than that. It's old and abandoned now so we can make of it whatever we want it to. Go nuts! There is very little you can do with it to contradict what ZUN has set about it.

Post by: Hannibal_Kills on June 04, 2016, 03:30:05 AM
Honestly, I was thinking of running this thread forever :V. But yeah we should make up a conclusion of this story and start the second. Anyways, these are some details about them Germans so here we go.
 

A slight discomfort was felt by Hans, thus came an Opel Blitz truck into the festival. Most of the Gensokyans weren't paying attention or even realizing it due to how louder were the banging of the drums compared to the humble rumble of the unarmed truck. It contained five men, with two being high-ranking officers and a bunch of supplies of fuel and ammunition, which fuel made up most of the load. From the two driver seats, came down Krebs and Burgdorf, which surprised Hans.

"Herr Burgdorf? How did you get here? I didn't see you during the meeting," said Hans as he tried to figure out how Burgdorf arrived, so as the other soldiers.

"He hid in our beer storage," answered Krebs while rolling his eyes. Burgdorf only gave an annoying look back at Krebs.

"Anyways, we have brought a lot of fuel after we heard of that race of yours. Before you ask, my flyers saw the race happening and therefore reported back to us in base.
Radio transmission didn't seemed to work because of the Barrier so we couldn't notify you earlier. Anyways were your mapping a success?" asked Krebs.

"Nein sir, because of that very fast race, all we were able to see and draw was this mountain itself. How did you know we were on top of this mountain by the way?"

"It went like this..."

FLASHBACK
Burgdorf was driving along the road together with Krebs and three random soldiers they picked to meet up with Steiner's unit, and they were desperate on their current location. All the Burgdorf and Krebs knew was that they followed along this road. But thanks to the headlights, they saw a clear figure of a girl in traditional clothing, walking alone. The two high-ranking officers were not sure if she was human or youkai so we readied our guns just in case.

"Miss!" called out Burgdorf  out loudly. The girl then turned his head to them as a good sign he heard what Burgdorf.
"What do you want, Outsider?" asked the girl back at Burgdorf.
"Have you ever heard of a race going on here? Where did they go?" asked Krebs.
"Oh, all of the racers gathered themselves along with almost everyone around here on top of that mountain. As you can see, the lights from that festival are quite bright to be seen from this far. Coincidentally, I'm also going there," answered the still unnamed girl.
"Want to ride on us?"
"Hmm, if this ride of yours is faster than my horse, then I'll accept it." (She's of course kidding.)
"Yes." Then this girl jumped on the back part of the truck before Burgdorf accelerates towards the top of Youkai Mountain.

"What is your name, girl?" asked one of the soldiers in the back, with an StG 44 slung upon his back. 
"Ah, the name's Hong Meiling, a youkai." This made the Germans more cautious.
"You eat humans?" asked one of thee Germans.
"Yes..." instantly the Germans readied their guns, cocked it and pointed at Hong Meiling. She sensed the danger and points out a sigh-relieving fact about her diet.
"...but I do eat ordinary foods provided by my master and it's like a century ago the last time I ate human flesh." The Germans were then relieved and put down their weapons.
"Youkai's live that long?" asked one Burgdorf. The rest of the conversation faded in distance (of the camera) as the truck nears the festival.

FLASHBACK ENDS

"We knew that she was a gatekeeper of a mansion of his mistress, problem now is that what if the mansion is left unguarded?" thought Krebs aloud.

"Oh, we'll just see Cinderella Gensokyo Edition Live." The Germans around them laughed at Hans' joke. Then, came Nitori and some Kappas carrying Sake to where the Germans were. Burgdorf was then happier. "Booze!"

The Germans drank up together. Some with small cups, others with wine glasses and one who dared to drink it in one bottle, which was of course Burgdorf. He was a strong drinker back in the Bunker together with a couple of Generals. Now after being banned from drinking in the base, he finally got to drink. Then they were singing a German song, which was the notable German beer song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOzXA0-1NIc) even though they weren't drinking beer. But all alcohol reminded them of the beer back at home.

Meanwhile a few Germans were introducing their war machine, and the most interested were the Kappas, which were obviously fascinated by the Outside World's engineering.

"The cars that you've seen like this one are modern cars with improved engines. Ours are military vehicles that are much much older. These war machines are specifically designed to kill, I say again KILL. Humans can lose lives because of these things.

Intimidation aside, we will begin with our scout car, the Sonderkraftfahrzeug 222 or in short the SdKfz 222 from now on. This scout car is armed with a 2 centimetre Kampfwagenkanone or in short KwK, L/55 automatic cannon and an air-cooled Maschinengewehr 34 machinegun that fires a 7.92?57mm Mauser catridge in a fully rotating turret. It runs on a Horch 3.8 V8 petrol engine with 90 Pferdest?rke which carries it 80 kilometres per hour on road, 40 off-road. It has 30mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armor on the front, around 14mm on the sides and 5mm for the rest of the parts. Overall, it weighs 4 to 5 tons."

Everyone in the crowd were scratching their heads because they couldn't understand everything. Even the Kappas who were even scribbling down notes are having a hard time to wrap the explanation with their heads. The one who introduced noticed the change of expression in the crowd.

"Apologies if you cannot understand. We will now explain it in a simpler way instead. Now here is an Sdkfz 250 half-track converted into a mobile command post. It's basically a vehicle designed to carry troops faster to the front line while being protected by enough armor to deflect bullets and harmful flying metal. The reason it has wheels and tracks in the same time is so that we could travel both on road and off-road without difficulties."

Now the crowd can understand his words better due to some of them smiling.

"Finally here is a Panzer IV medium tank. At first it was designed to support infantry, but after our enemy showed their more powerful tanks, we were forced to upgrade this tank to kill their tanks instead. It has a decent front armor of 80mm and a long 75mm gun that can penetrate 82mm of steel at 1000 metres which is about this thick..." said the soldier as he tried to estimate the thickness of 82 milimetres with his two fingers. The crowd replied with an 'oooh'.

"Any questions?" asked the soldier. A Kappa raised her hand.

"Yes, can we reproduce these war machines for the sake of defending Gensokyo?"

"If you have the resources and fuel, it's not a problem. I have readied a copy of the blueprint including the list of materials needed. And everybody is free to ask questions anytime when we are free." The crowd then leaves slowly with so much information in their minds that they could not understand. The Kappas however stayed and asked for the blueprints. The unnamed soldier gives them three blueprints instead. The blueprints were designs for the Panzer IV, the K98 rifle and the Mercedes-Benz L3000 truck.

"Good luck with them." said the unnamed soldier. 
...
"It's getting dark Franz," said Wilhelm reminding Franz how long they were exploring the mansion.

(This is made-up so please remind me.)
Inside the abandoned mansion, there lots of weeds and vines growing around. Strangely the plants that were in the mansion were living healthy as if were taken care of everyday. Dusts were also everywhere on the floor and portraits of somebody that hanged on some walls were also dustier. Spider webs were caught on the two German soldiers once a while which is really normal for somebody to explore an abandoned place. And it seemed like all the food were already gone after they inspected the kitchen.

The furniture would have looked shiny, the floors would have look new, the walls would have been smooth, and the portraits would have been as clear as a photograph if they would call a team cleaners.

At first though, they came into the house by climbing up the stairs straight to the second floor. Now they climbed down as he saw a cloth covering over a certain something. Wilhelm then drags it off to see a red sports car with two white stripes running over it. On the hood, there was a key with a small piece of wood chained to it with the name written, Yuuka Kazami.

Hell that was a long detail!

Also to the next person posting, I might suggest pulling Maxwell out of Annabelle's body and finally sending him to heaven and give the Germans a bit more time the next morning? Now the Germans have flyers available to map everything, now only to document culture.
Screw that...  :P

Here it is.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ara...Look what we got here."

Without notice, a teasing voice coming out from nowhere, attacking the mind of these two soldiers. Then, unable to move an inch, these two are subjected to the sudden intense light that came from the garage door being open. On the other side, Yuuka could be seen, in the shade of the sunflowers, lifting the heavy door while still holding the umbrella in front of her.

"I came here looking for someone that could knocked out Elly-chan outside... turn out it's only two little rat stealing the grain."

Moving like she was still in her garden, Yuuka moved toward these two ever so gently. Her's figure blotted the sun, her shade slowly creeping the space. The two that's frozen in place, know that's they   
shouldn't be here. Their leg want to move out from the big black shade, as if it carry it own omen.

It's more like a certainty though.

"What did you two do to her though?... Did you two tricked her somehow? That's didn't explain how she's sleeping gently though... Did you perhap poison her? Nah, her stomach isn't that weak..."

Slowly and surely she come closer, the shadow reach their sole. She then picked out a tube of metal, just from inside her robe:

"Or perhap... did that gun of your, end up tearing her innard? The wound mark's clearly still there, and there's that green mushroom..."

"Seriously" thinking about that, she suddenly laugh a little. The shadow then suddenly creep up from their feet.  They seem mishapen enough to strangle, the people alive in it hold.

?Ahaha? There?s no way she would be weak enough to actually get pierced by that!... If that is true though??

With the slow and surely step, she come with the thread of dead. The shadow keep getting more and more distorted, like a gaping maw that swallow whole?

??Look like I will have to train Elly-chan all over again.?

?And then she casually passed.

?Really, what kind of gatekeeper let the owner do the job with the small fry like this? What should I do first to punis? I mean train her??

Completely ignoring the still-frozen solders, she came over to her own car and?

Effortlessly lift it up.

?Hm? Lifting the car for me everyday til the end of the Climb should be good enough , for starter.?

The shadow, as if isn?t needed anymore, disperse and revealed their true form as the shadow the sunflower made. Didn?t notice that though, these two are internally relief of their ?binding? and moved out of her way, as she carry the car outside?

?Oh, you guy shouldn?t be here, by the way.?

?And silently fly off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to do some introduction to the one that will be in the Heaven Climb, but maybe later.

Okay.... i think i got an idea, i`ll let Max for someone else.


>"Hey hey !" A kappa behind the first row said while waving.
>"Eh ? Is it another question ?" Asks the soldier of unknown name.
>"Actually no, would you sirs mind showing these machines in action ? It would aid in our research."
>The soldier then turns to an officer nearby.
>"Sir, would that be possible ?"
>"Hmm, i`m not sure.... we would need a sizeable area away from here, so that there is no collateral damage nor injuries to anyone, proper target practice objects would also need to be arranged, we could use some of those metal targets that we brought for training."
>The officer then stops to ponder a while.
>"Other than that..... i guess that`s all, if that can be arranged, then there should be no problem for it to happen tomorrow afternoon."
>He then gives out a glare to the vehicle crews. "IF they behave."
>And with that, the crewmembers all back off and tense a bit.
>"I see." The kappa, who has a violet-colored hair, then turns to the other group of kappa. "Cmon guys, we can`t let this chance pass by ! Let`s go prep up something !"
>And with that, almost all the kappa scramble somewhere, a group head towards the east, where there is a plain that could be used, another group head towards an structure of some sort, one group grabs cameras and other gear that they use to measure things like climatic conditions, they even pull out a machine used to measure danmaku velocity, size and energy.
>"Huh ?" The unknown name soldier starts. "These people are pretty dedicated about their stuff, reminds me of my kids back at home."
>He then proceeds to smile.

I`m a little out of fuel/inspiration, so i can`t write much, sorry.

I'll do a little part of Maxwell. If possible, I might also do the target practice scene.

Maxwell stretches his cotton muscles here and there during the race celebration festival. Medicine however was exhausted and sat on a wooden bench that was crudely made, probably by someone who never held a hammer, but he nailed it anyway. Su-san was stomping on Medicine's shoulders as to perform a massage, since it is muscle-aching to be trapped a car for probably hours while speeding and drifting.

"Now, since I saved this living doll from a sentient car, where's my Afterlife?" yelled Maxwell at the sky. Suddenly, he saw a bright gap in the night sky that dropped down a flight of stairs from the sky. From those stairs, walked down an Angel who came to pick up Maxwell's soul which was still inside the body of Annabelle. The Angel guided Max up the stairs slowly as Max himself was excited to receive his award. After climbing those stairs, the Angel picked up Max's soul from Annabelle, which revealed him in his original human form.

He drew closer to the Golden Gates of Heaven for every steps he made. He wanted to meet his dead parents and greet them finally for the first time after those long years, he wanted his wishes to modify any car he wants to become true in that holy place. But that was until a trapdoor opened below him before he could even made to that said place. The Angels even played this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z4m4lnjxkY). Fortunately, these chain of events only happened through the eyes of Maxwell, nobody else even Medicine and Su-san didn't notice the Annabelle doll disappearing into the air.

It was lucky that Maxwell only landed on a thick bush down below. Then he heard a whisper to his ears: "Not yet."

Now, from a creepy-looking doll that can curse anyone, he was now a normal human being. His clothes were a collared shirt checkered red and white along with a brown jacket on it, and a pair of jeans. He also got a cowboy hat on his head to make him look more like a Texan cowboy, which was his hometown really. Covering his feet were a pair of boots as he rose from the bush he landed which is not that far away from the festival.

?God dang it, why my death is still delayed? Oh well, it?s good to be human again,? mumbled Maxwell to himself as he approach the lights of the festival.
...
After Yuuka left the mansion with her car, Franz and Wilhelm were finally not froze from shock and fear. And obviously the next thing in mind was this:
?Run.?

They ran as fast as they could fearing that the woman earlier who was Yuuka would chase them down for breaking into her old mansion. They arrived at their half-track which was gladly left untouched, got into it, started the engine and drove away at full speed. Luckily Yuuka wasn?t going to kill them down anyway.
A few minutes later, they arrived on the road their comrades were racing earlier that day. Franz took out his binoculars and looked at the top of Youkai Mountain which was lit by the festival. Even the banging of the drums echoed all the way throughout Gensokyo.

?Wilhem, we need to get on that mountain, NOW!? shouted Franz. Wilhelm acknowledged and there went their half-track towards Youkai Mountain.
...
Maxwell walked through the festival. It was really really loud and busy. So many Youkai?s, Humans and other unmentioned beings were there. His attention though was directed at a lonely stall which had a paper saying in Japanese which he couldn?t read, but the Yen symbol hinted that the stall was asking for donations. He took out his wallet, pulled a 5$ dollar bill and put it into the donation box. The girl who was sitting there suddenly changed expression and looked excited.

The target practice will be held the next afternoon both for efficiency and safety reasons. And that?s all for my part.

Youkai Mountain == Sanae and the Moriya Shrine, don't you remember? And I don't think she's that shameless to ask for donation in other's shrine

Doesn't mean the poor fella won't take a chance for it, I'd go for Reimu for now. Besides, Reimu's donation stall was almost empty with no visitors, just like how Grand described it before:
The Moriya's were busy trying to win a carnival game of bottle toppling while dressed in beautiful kimono's. Kasen was frequenting the food stalls, stuffing her face with cotton candy and corn dogs on sticks. Reimu was in a lonely stall in a far corner, begging for donations to her shrine and offering fortunes in exchange, but nobody cares about some dumb old shrine.
Here you can see the Moriya's playing a carnival game, which doesn't make sense if they host the festival at their shrine, shouldn't they sit at their own stall instead? But in the end, we don't really know where the festival was held; most probably at a random clearing near the finishing line.

And I don't think she's that shameless to ask for donation in other's shrine
I think it's more shameful to beg at a famous supermarket, you'd do anything for anything if you're short of it. But since it has been mentioned before, we can't change it unless Grand does it himself.

And somebody should continue, my turn's over.

Alright you guys, yes, it's Reimu, now let's continue.

I thought Half-Grand's part was really clear about that.

So whose's turn is it now ?

When you said that no one would see the angel trolling before returning to the festival.

You would be a bit wrong.

"...So even them arrived huh?"

Yukari, in her usual violet clothes, were watching them with (devious) interests. Then from behind, Suwako came to her and said while casually gazing at the festival.

"Guess even the celebrity also come to this backward place for the race. "

"Ho...don't you want to chase them away?"

"...I did let you in."

"...Touch?."

After having a silent agreement, Suwako then bring out a bottle of sake and poured into the cup. Looking at the angels shooting at the gallery, she silently drink.

"Beside, the thing for the mass should let for the mass to decide. For the fact that the surrounding treat them just the same, it's clear that these girl is our type of person."

Sending a look of "Don't you agree?", Yukari nodded slightly while also pouring our her own drink.

"...That's the way this place work."

"True that... a couple of cannon-ridden metal box, and then these white birds...This race should be even more interesting."

"...Did someone said fried bird? Is it delicious?"

Out of nowhere, Yuyuko came, with an assortment of snack in her hand. Yukari then gently pointed her hand as them.

"...Depend on your taste."

Looking a bit disappointed seeing them, Yuyuko then asked:

"By the way, what were you talking about?"

"Just talking about the upcoming race."

"I see... who would be the one smoking our little sponsor in the face this year?"

The moment she said such innocent-like word, the aura of these 3 suddenly flare up.

The queen of the underworld, that invited her opponents to the grave.

The genius Youkai hermit, that's spirited her opponents to another world.

The cursed goddess, with her way and gut of steel that cut her opponents apart.

(In racing term only... I hope)

The answer is...

"...No one, huh?"

With just that word spoken by Yukari, the pressure disappear.

"Look like everyone here already picked their successor, huh?" (Yukari)

"...The race's happen only last year though." (Yuyuko)

"True, but our girl want to race so bad,.." (Suwako)

"And we can't just take all the spotlight..." (Yuyuko)

"...It added more weight if they managed to win after all." (Yukari)

After that, they decided to share a seat, then poured sake for each other. After drinking a bit, they're all stared into the festival and enjoying it's atmosphere...

"....Who would win between the 3 of us though?" (Yuyuko)

Again, the aura flare up in one corner of the place.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morning came. The kappa prepare themselve for the exhibition.

Once again, the road have been raised.

(It's not neccesary for them though)

I'm back everyone! I'm well overdue to my input to contribute to the story because awhile ago now some things came up and got in my way.

To those of you who didn't know I was just chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and checkin' out the cafe outside of the shrine when a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in the neighborhood, I got in one little fight and Helepolis got scared and said 'You're movin' in with your auntie Eiki Shiki in Ban-Air'.

Alright, from what I understand most of us are getting bored with the Touhou mountain racing direction that this story has taken so I am now going to steer the story into a more epic and climactic direction that I am sure most of us will greatly appreciate. Lots more will be at stake now so the game has changed fellas!

Following on from Andykhang:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning after the end of race festival that night was a particularly pleasant one. Nameless fairies danced around in the blue sky above scattering flower petals into the calm summer wind. Rays of light were bounced off and reflected onto the ground below from the small clouds above. Everything was peaceful and serene that morning, but little did everyone know that something was stirring somewhere in Gensokyo that day.

Medicine and Su-san awoke from their light slumber on that crude bench they sat on last night. It seemed as though they had fallen asleep from exhaustion due to all the events that happened to them yesterday. This was odd for Medicine as she normally required the familiar scent of Suzuran around her to lull her into a slumber. She had very rarely slept anywhere else besides in her suzuran field before, but this time due to her exhaustion, she didn't feel out of place or uncomfortable from sleeping elsewhere. Medicine rubbed her eyes and gazed at the surroundings around her with a few sleepy blinks.

It seems as though both youkai and kappa alike where busily packing up the festival tents and decorations around her. Tents where being folded away by a few kappa to her left and the tall banners that were linked from light post to light post were being brought down by two unfamiliar tengu. Even the tall structure where Suika was beating her drums from above that night was being slowly dismantled pole by pole. Medicine and Su-san gazed at it all for a moment in wonder of how different and lively everything looked the night before. All of that excitement and vibrancy was being swept away slowly now, like it never existed in the first place.

"Max... what is happening around here now-" Medicine said as she slowly turned her head to her left, expecting to see her new doll friend still there. Maxwell wasn't there though, the bench was bare and empty with only a few scattered leaves there now where Maxwell sat last night. Medicine turned to Su-san and asked her "Suuu~saaaaan, did you see where Max went last night?" while she still rubber her left eye. Su-san just looked at Medicine and shrugged her shoulders innocently. She woke up at the same time Medicine did so it was very unlikely that she saw Maxwell go anywhere. Medicine thought to herself for a moment and then said to Su-san "We should really look around for him... or her... I'm confused still about that! I don't think he is familiar with Gensokyo like we are so he might get lost or something. I don't think he can fly like we can either so that makes it even worse". Su-san nodded her head in agreement and hopped onto Medicines shoulder, ready to follow along with her. Medicine jumped off of the bench while it let out a faint creak noise and Medicine began to look around her to survey her surroundings. Medicine brought her hands up to her forehead and said unconfidently "The only thing is... I have no idea where to even start looking for that doll. He could be anywhere by now" Medicine said with a sigh.

Just then, a crowds roar was heard in the not to far distance from where Medicine was located. It was a similar crowds cheer to what she hear yesterday after Dark Horse was finally stopped. Could it be that something similar to the event from yesterday was just beginning? In any case, from the amount of noise that erupted in the distance, it seemed as though lots of people must be there. Medicine thought to herself that if such a noise could be generated from afar, perhaps she might be able to find Maxwell there in among them all. Maybe he could have been attracted to the noise as well and decided to investigate what it could be. Medicine decided that she would head over to the source of the noise and seek Maxwell out there.

"C'mon Su-san!" Medicine said as she began to levitate off the ground "We'll see of Max is over there and if he isn't, we can at least ask around if anybody might have seen him". Su-san gave another nod and in that instance, Medicine took flight to the sky above her to travel towards where the crowds cheer was coming from.

--------------------------------------------------

A reasonable distance away from Medicine and the grounds were last nights festival took place, a dark figure was roaming around in the forest while stepping over bushes and other bits of wildlife. Sunlight was finally coming through the open clearings of the thick trees above and from that, the dark figure wasn't so dark or nearsighted as it was before. It was Maxwell, lost in the forest still from last night after the angels above him decided to drop him back down to earth. He clearly had no idea where he was going through all of this thick forestry around him and he was constantly pulling out thorns that where attaching themselves to his brown jacket. "Damn those angels" Maxwell cursed to himself while still picking out thorns from his jacket sleeve "You would think that after everything I went through these past few days, you know, being placed inside a dolls body and having to work on disabling that car that was too smart for its own good, those angels would have at least rewarded me a little better for it... and SCREW THAT SONG THEY PLAYED!" Maxwell suddenly shouted to himself in frustration. Maxwell suddenly stopped pushing his way through the thick forest to catch his breath a little from the hard climb.

"Who would have thought that the angels of Heaven could be such dickish trolls to someone who served them like I did" Maxwell sighed to himself and pondered further "Is Heaven really all that great if the angels there have such a weird sense of humor?". Maxwell adjusted his cowboy hat and proceeded to take off one of his cowboy boots which had nice ornate decorations on their outside. he tipped the boot upside down and let a small bit of dirt pour down from the inside. He gazed at the boot for a second and thought to himself "Well, at least those angels were nice enough to give me back my original body and my favorite boots in the whole wide world!" Maxwell grinned widely as he admired his very western set of boots that he cherished dearly, even in the days before he was originally killed years ago. Maxwell continued to think more to himself around the green trees and bushes that encircled him "If those guys from Heaven still want me to stay on Earth for something, what could they possibly want me to do for them next?".

Maxwell looked down at his belt where a familiar being was strapped to his side. It was the Annabel doll that not too long ago his soul called home. He unstrapped the doll from his belt and gazed over it once more from top to bottom with a sly smirk on his face. "I can barely believe that this ugly, creepy thing was once my body... the angels really were trolls to put my soul in this body that is barely holding together from age. Oh well, I'll keep this as a memento for finally putting Dark Horse into retirement" said Maxwell to himself as he then began to strap the doll to his belt once again. He stretched out his arms and arched his back to relieve his tired muscles from the hike he made around the forest once he fell back to earth. "It sure feels nice to have my old body back... it was kinda cramped in that doll after being in there for so long" said Maxwell after he finished stretching and put his hands by his sides.

Just then, Maxwell heard a crowd cheer not too far from where he was. It was familiar to him... kind of sounded like the crowd he heard yesterday after he got involved in that race after commandeering Dark Horse. He could tell which direction the crowd noise was coming from despite him being lost in the woods. At last, Maxwell was finally not lost alone in the woods and was finally near some kind of civilization. His curiosity grew only higher at what was ahead so he began to scramble hurriedly towards where the noise was coming from.

Finally, when he emerged from the forest clearing and stopped stumbling over the fallen branches and bushes, he could clearly see what was causing all the commotion. It appeared to be a second race that was being set up to follow on from yesterdays. This race however was more professionally set up since it now had a proper starting line, stands for all the crowds to watch onward, food stalls on the sidelines, an announcers tower that rose high above the ground and many more racers were behind the starting line, revving their engines in anticipation for the races start. Maxwell gazed around the spectacle a little more and his eyes were guided to a large banner that was hanging overhead of the starting line that read "3rd annual mountain race 'Heaven's Climb". Maxwell thought to himself "So... this is a continuation of yesterdays race or something? Well, I don't have a car anymore so I don't think I'll be participating in this one". He walked briskly towards where the crowds where gathered at the stands and decided to get a better view of everything there.

He climbed a small flight of stairs to get himself a seat towards the back of all the other seats. He edged his way past a few of the other people who were already seated and found himself a free seat in among all the others. He quickly sat down before anybody else could think of taking the seat and he was finally able to relax for the first time since he got his old body back. He took his cowboy hat off and wiped his forehead with his sleeve, still a little puffed out from scampering through the forest. Still, Maxwell was just glad that he wasn't lost in the forest anymore and was actually around people again.

"Hey mister, you were the one from last night, aren't you?"

Maxwell was startled a little from hearing a young woman speak to him from his right side. He looked over and saw a familiar face... it was the same woman that he donated $5 dollars to last night at the festival. Maxwell didn't expect to see her again so this was a pleasant surprise. She wore the same outfit that she did that night, a red and white outfit with detached sleeves and her brown hair was tied up into a shoulder length ponytail with a red ribbon. She sat there in her chair with a gohei in her right hand.

"Oh... hey, it's you again... from the festival last night, right?" Maxwell smiled a tired smile at the young woman who recognized him suddenly. The one in red and white spoke back "yes, I was the one who was giving fortunes for donations at the festival last night. I'm glad that someone remembered... not many seem to remember" the girl frowned to herself for a moment when she recalled last night. "Ahhh, well in that case I hope my five bucks cheers you up a little. Collecting donations is always a hard thing to do for a cause you believe in" Maxwell said as he put his hand behind his back and grinned pleasantly. The girl continued "Well, it's not really for a cause in-particular, it's mostly to keep my shrine in a reasonably pleasant condition for visitors... you know, keeping the roof over your head from leaking when it rains and all" the girl pondered to herself over the condition of her shrine. Maxwell caught the word 'shrine' and asked "Oh, you work at a shrine so you? Are you like a priestess or something? Pardon me ma'am, I'm not to familiar with eastern customs around here" Maxwell said in an apologizing tone. The girl placed both hands around her gohei and said "Well, I guess I could be called a priestess by some... but most people here just call me a shrine maiden... it's nothing really fancy or anything" she said as she waved her gohei around slightly.

The girl then realized something and that showed on her expression on her face. She said to Maxwell "Oh yeah, when you gave me your donation, you walked away before I could give you your fortune. Luckily for you, I still have a few with me now so you can take one". Maxwell shook his hand at her and replied "Oh no, no, you don't have to give me one of those. I'm not exactly the religious type and I was only just wanting to help" he said modestly. The girl insisted "Oh, don't be like that. The native gods are always around us even if we believe in them or not. Here, take this. Your starting to sound an awful lot like a friend of mine with not being religious and all" she then placed one of her small paper fortunes forcefully in his hand and his hands had no choice but to take it. Maxwell though to himself that he was a little bit curious as to what it said so he looked at the girl again who had a face that insisted that he open it. He opened the small piece of paper and read the single sentence written on it.

You will overcome a great catastrophe in the near future, but you will grow stronger from it than ever before.

Maxwell, didn't know what to think of this fortune but since he wasn't the superstitious type, he bore no mind to it and simply tucked it away in his blue jean pocket. The girl smiled at him accepting the fortune and she turned back to the racers revving their engines on the track ahead of her. Maxwell, glanced around more at the surroundings ahead of him and noticed than in a field just next to the race taking place soon, a whole battalion of the German's had their vehicles readied for a crowd of both humans and kappa that were onlooking in both curiosity and excitement. Maxwell felt a little tired though so he just decided to stay in his seat and thought to himself that he might check it out later.

The girl next to him leaned over to Maxwell again and said "You know, that money you gave me is very different to the kind we have around here and your clothes certainly stand out here among all the other humans. Your from the outside world, aren't you?" asked the girl with an inquisitive glance in her eyes. Maxwell replied "Oh, well where I come from, a lot of people dress up in these hats and boots all the time. I come from a place called Texas and we have a strong line of history dating all the way back to..." Maxwell continued on with his conversation with the red and white clothed girl as the race still prepared on below them.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Franz, Wilhelm and all of the other German soldiers were once again all reunited and where now regrouped in a small field next to the race that was going to commence soon. Most of them were readying their cannons of varying sizes and starting the engines of all of their fleets vehicles for the crowd in front of them. Many of the people in the crowd were simply enjoying seeing the machines in action but many of the kappa around the back, including a certain kappa called Nitori, were waiting eagerly with clipboards in hand, waiting to gather all the notes and intel they can on the Germans guns and vehicles. One German was speaking to the crowd in front of him but another high ranking officer was walking briskly towards Franz and Wilhelm with a concerned look on his face. "Franz! Wilhelm!... where did you two disappear off to yesterday when we were participating in that race?" questioned the officer who confronted an on the spot Franz and Wilhelm.

"Well, you see..." Wilhelm stuttered out at the officers demand and Franz continued "We got bored of the race the others were participating in and we decided it would be better for the mission to scout out and map other areas that the others were ignoring" Franz replied more directly. The officer crossed his arms and continued "Oh, well then what exactly did you see when you decided to go AWOL and branch off from the rest of the group?" questioned the officer in an intimidating tone. Wilhelm continued to stutter at the officers demands "We-well, we ended up seeing... some green mushrooms and... and old abandoned house... and-" Wilhelm said with a hint of fright in his voice before the officer cut him off. "You mean to tell me you disbanded from the group and didn't even have anything to show for it that could help in this scouting mission! You two are going to receive harsh punishment once we return back to our motherland! The first thing I'm going to have you do is scrub all of the toilets at base with little toothbrushes! Have I made myself clear gentlemen!?!" Barked the officer at the two disheartened soldiers. "Yes, sir" the two soldiers muttered in great disapproval of their harsh punishment.

Another solider then came up to the officer with a piece of yellow paper in his hand and with great urgency in his voice. "Captain, captain! We just received a direct telegram from the F?hrer himself in response to how the Japanese government is grading our performance on this scouting mission!" the soldier said as he passed the telegram over to the officer who hastily grabbed it and began reading it. The solider continued "It basically says that the Japanese government is appalled by our handling of this mission and not happy at all about the intel we have gathered so far. The pictures of the mountain that most of the soldiers drew was not satisfactory for the Japanese to consider useful information so they have decided to abandon the mapping campaign and have all of us recalled back to Germany". The officer finished reading the telegram and then threw the paper on the ground in disgust. "Bah! this is what happens when we are led into a race with the locals and we try and fit our mission around it. We have truly disgraced the name of the F?hrer's army... fine! we will ex-filtrate the Gensokyo area at nightfall this evening. But first, let us give these people the show they are looking to watch!" said the officer as he threw his hands up to excite the crowd. The crowd roared in cheer as the Germans began to cock their weapons and start their engines.

"Show these people the might of German military!" shouted the officer as he pointed his finger towards the sky. And just like that, all of the cannons on the back of all the military vehicles fired in unison for the crowd to splendor at. Loud booms and crackles filled the surrounding area and the engines of all the military vehicles only added to the symphony of noise that the Germans were creating. The people in the crowd "ooooooh"ed and "aaaaaaahhh"ed at the sheer power of the German infantries firepower and the Kappa's where taking copious notes on how each of the Germans war instruments performed. Luckily, there was nothing in the way of where the Germans were firing so they went all out in showing the people who their machines operated. The noise only grew louder and louder as time went on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the racetrack, the racers were eagerly revving their engines in anticipation for the race to start. Makohashi and her Crimson Ghost of course were placed around the middle of the pack and Yuuka Kazami was also close by in her red sports car. The atmosphere grew tense as everybody was eager to begin the Heaven's Race. So many more where there with all their cars with their feet placed firmly on their drivers petals.

In the crowd, Marisa and Alice where in the grandstand along with pretty much all of the members of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Everyone was there and eager for the race to finally start. The racers all continued to rev their engines loudly and along with all the noise of the German's firing their weapons and revving their vehicles close by, the sound was so loud that even Kyouko Kasodani would think it was overkill.

Suddenly however, the ground beneath everyone's feet started to tremble immensely with tremendous power. People everywhere where wondering what was going on and the racers on the track where looking around, forgetting that they were about to start a race. An earthquake? That was what everybody though to themselves as the rumble on the mountain began to grow more and more powerful.

Then, like a sudden flash, the ground began to crumble at the top of the youkai mountain above everyone who was awestruck to witness what was happening. From the crumbling ground of the top of the mountain, an enormous figure flew up into the sky above, almost blocking out the sun from its huge mass. Like a triumphant phoenix, it levitated in the sky for a moment before it dove back towards the earth with a powerful thud that made the earth shake.

Mei Ling from the crowd of people at the grandstand recognized immediately what this enormous figure was that disrupted the events of today's race. She shouted it's name out for all to hear:

[attach=1]

The giant catfish waved it's tendrils around at the people below him and shouted in a great voice that shook the earth:

"I am Taisui Xingjun! And all of your incessant noise on this mountain these last two days has awoken me from my thousand year slumber! I am going to make the Earth shake and crush every single last one of you so I can finally rest in peace once more... DIE YOU NOISY LITTLE ANTS!!!"

All of the racers at the starting line rushed as fast as they could out of their vehicles away from the catfish that towered like its own mountain above them. One of the catfish's tendrils whipped out at the cars at the starting line and crushed a row of them under its huge blubber of a tendril. One of the cars that was crushed was Yuuka's red sports car. Yuuka raised her fist towards the giant catfish and yelled "You bastard! You squashed an expensive piece of equipment that I had in my mansion for years!". Luckily, Makohashi's Crimson Ghost car was still undamaged.

It looks like today's Heaven's Climb race is going to have to be postponed... due to giant destructive catfish.

<Tengukami> Edited. I wasn't kidding about dropping this.
<Hannibal_Kills> Alrighty then

Without further ado, I'll take on my crap which doesn't harm andkhang's upcoming part...


Amazing work as always, lads. But I want to say something about this:
Quote
...all of the cannons on the back of all the military vehicles fired in unison for the crowd to splendor at.
Aren't the Germans only had a Panzer IV to begin with? But don't worry, I have the optional fix in plot:
...
The night before?
Steiner was asked by the Kappas if they had more machinery, he regretted to say yes and now he would be burdened by guilt if he said that he cannot bring their tanks up Youkai Mountain.  Both Burgdorf and Krebs have given permission to do so but he still worried if there was enough time before the shooting test tomorrow. He then picked one soldier who could drive and another random one to accompany him. Before that though, he wrote a small letter signed by him. Small fact, the one who could drive was actually Ernst, the driver of the armoured scout car.

?Alright, you two have a task: Drive back to our base and give the commanding officer there this letter. Feel free to read it because I don?t mind anyway, but make sure this letter reaches to whomever Krebs left in charge there,? briefed Steiner seriously. The two nodded indicating that they have understood the orders dropped on them. Steiner took out his stopwatch.

?It?s now around 9 o?clock in the night, only 6 minutes early and I hope the letter arrives before 11 or minimum 10 and a ?. Your transport is over there and have a nice trip, gentlemen.? The two then rushed towards the Opel Blitz truck and opened the door before taking their seats and starting the engine. It was the same truck that Burgdorf, Krebs and other soldiers arrived earlier. They then accelerated down Youkai Mountain in order to give out those said letters.

Yukari noticed the activity going on there and felt suspicious. She sharply stared at the truck but soon diverted her attention towards the festival.

A few dozen minutes into the journey, there was not a single conversation at all. It was quite boring but also scary because they only have their headlights to illuminate the road ahead. The truck was also empty after unloading everything, so it was faster. Beside the roads were thick forests, the ones that both Wilhelm and Franz entered through with their half-track.

The road itself was a bit rougher thanks to the Kappas deactivating the racing track, but it can only slow their maximum speed at like roughly 2km/h less or so. The fuel meter showed that there was enough fuel for them to reach their base, but it was still a long way. Ernst could not stand the quietness and decided to spark a conversation.

?What?s your name, comrade?? he asked the unnamed soldier beside him, who was nearly asleep even though the journey was rough. He then waked up confused.

?What is your name?? repeated Ernst just so the soldier could hear him.

?It?s Sebastian.?

?Well I am Ernst, a driver of a scout car. But I also drive normal cars and trucks.?

?Still a normal Private, nothing special than the other?s in the Wehrmacht.?

?Eh, but now you?re with me, that?s the difference right??

The rest of the conversation fades away in the distance of the truck. Time-skipping nearly an hour, they were about the pierce the Great Hakurei Barrier, until they say a figure standing on the road stopping them from advancing any further.

?Uh Miss, could you kindly let us pass?? asked Ernst to the mysterious lady.

?No, for I am the controller of Gensokyo, YOU SHALL NOT PASS!? shouted the lady as she advanced towards the lights of the headlights of the truck to reveal herself, Yukari Yakumo. The two soldiers were disappointed with the main leader of Gensokyo, thus got out from the truck to perform a negotiation.

?What is your task your leader gave to you that requires you to go back and forth from the Outside World to Gensokyo?? asked Yukari to extract information. Suddenly Ernst forgot that he had the letter but didn?t read the content. His only last hope was to give a show to her in order for them to get the pass.

?Well, our leader gave us an order to send this letter to whoever commanding our base out there,? replied Ernst while showing the letter to Yukari. Yukari grabbed it from his hand and proceeded to open and read it. As her eyes scanned through the letter, her grin was getting stronger.

?Well, bad news I cannot let you pass?? decided Yukari, so both sadly go towards the truck to return where they began.
??for I will send this letter instead,? finished Yukari. The two were suddenly confused with the situation, before Yukari conjured two Gaps below them. After the two disappeared from sight, Yukari took over the truck and drove it through the Barrier, towards the German base.

Back at the festival?

The two soldiers landed on soft ground at the festival. They were still confused but decided to not tell Steiner too early. So, they blend into the festival to hide themselves.

At the Germans? base?

Two soldiers were seen guarding the road for intruders, both equipped with StG 44?s. Right beside them was an MG42 machine gun emplacement, not to mention one of them also had a Panzerfaust. They were heavily equipped overall, ready for anything except flyers.

Then the lights from some sort of vehicle were seen. One of them took action to move and halt the truck, which obeyed his order. He walked towards the driver?s seat, but was surprised by the appearance of a (beautiful) woman in very attractive clothing instead of the usual dirty and stinky Wehrmacht soldier. The guard would have instantly fell in love but it was not Hollywood, and the guard was worried instead, but still steadied his gun.

?Who are you, state your business,? he demanded sternly while not lowering his guard.

?I am Yukari Yakumo, the leader of the land of total nonsense, your colleagues wanted to send orders to your commanding officer but I took over the task instead. They are safe, so do not worry. Take me to your current commander and I shall spare you and your partner.? The guard had a thought of laughing at Yukari?s silly-sounding boast but he held it back, fearing she would really and seriously change her mind of ?sparing? them both.

?Umm, I will escort you to him,? suggested the guard. Yukari nodded in agreement and turned down the engines and stepped down from the truck. It was not the purple summer dress Yukari always wore, but instead it was her formal one. She didn?t bring her umbrella which she always brought with though because it was night.

The base was not as busy with soldiers slacking here and there, playing cards and stuff. Then the sight of Yukari walking at the base while being escorted by a guard attracted the attention of almost everybody present. But it was lucky that the mud and pools that formed on the base ground were already dried up so Yukari didn?t need to question about getting her long skirt muddy. One soldier was even brave enough to run towards the briefing tent and tell the commanding officer there.

?Someone from Gensokyo? Here in our base? Wait for me I want to meet her,? said the officer as he prepared himself, making sure his clothes were neat but it wasn?t so he took out his trench coat and wore it on his uniform. He got out of the tent and instantly saw a crowd following someone, which was obviously the guest.
The officer then pushed through the crowd slowly one by one soldier and finally made it to the back of the ?guest?. Yukari then coincidentally turned around to find probably of what she wanted.

?Are you the commanding officer here?? asked Yukari in a gentlemanly way, or should the author say woman?

?Yes and the name?s General Arnold. What brought you here may I ask??

?Ah, your Generals back in Gensokyo have sent this letter to you,? replied Yukari as she handed over the letter to Arnold. He grabbed it and opened it before scanning through the letter with both of his eyes. It had been said there:

To anyone who is commanding back at base,
It seemed like the locals would like to see more of the German military might and we planned to have a safe-guaranteed firing range both for the amusement of the locals, and to give some more information to these engineers called Kappas. I know there would be logistical problems if we want to bring them up here on Youkai Mountain, so I recommend you send them tonight.
Sincerely, General Steiner of the 9th Grenadier Divison


?So basically, he wants more armor to send in just to amuse the locals. There wouldn?t be enough time to send the tanks there in one night!? exclaimed Arnold, stating the problems of getting heavy equipment like the Tiger tank in a short amount of time up those steep roads.

?Bah, don?t you worry. We have enough time to even send the tanks from Germany!? said Yukari, which made everyone there confused. The fastest of supply ships require weeks! But as we all know, Yukari had an obvious trick up her sleeve. She then conjured a Gap at a random spot, which surprised the Germans.

?W-what is that?!? asked one of the soldiers with fear. The countless number of eyes in the Gap stared at the soldiers without cease or blink.

?Oh, that is what I call a Gap, a tear in space. Here, step in here and you will be arriving in the Fuhrer?s bunker!?
Arnold braved himself and peeked into the Gap. Indeed, he can see the very body of Adolf Hitler sitting on his desk writing about something right from behind. He pulled his head out of the Gap, while not showing any signs of side-effects.

?Could you make it any bigger?? asked Arnold, since looking back at the main topic; they need the Gap itself to fit in their tanks.

?I can even transport your Battleship if you?d like to.?

?

The next several minutes were spent starting up the engines of every tank available and lining them up on the road. There were several tanks including the Sturmgesch?tz (StuG) III Ausf. F assault gun/tank destroyer, the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. H heavy tank, and so on. Infantries were also included like the elite Panzergrenadiers and the Volksgrenadiers newbies.

Even field artilleries towed to trucks and half-tracks were brought in like the infamous Flak 88 AA/AT gun and the Pak 40 anti-tank gun. Never did they also forget about their 105mm leFH 18/40 light howitzers and 81mm Granatwerfer 34 mortar. It was really like they were mobilizing like back during the Battle for France. As a bonus, they wanted to bring in their Flak 38 rapid-firing anti-aircraft gun for no proper reason at all, much like their other equipments.
After all of them formed a really long line on the road, they waited for Yukari to create a very big portal that would lead straight towards Youkai Mountain.

?Are you ready, men?? asked Yukari loudly as she could above her throat, the soldiers respond with a ?Ja!? She formed the biggest Gap she would ever conjured and entering it first would be General Arnold himself in his Kubelwagen, followed by the soldiers in half-tracks, the field artilleries, then finally the tanks.

Back on Youkai Mountain?

The ground, once again for the Germans, rumbled as even Burgdorf?s bottle of unfinished sake dropped on the hard ground, shattering it. He would have been angry if it was not because the ground took more of his attention and worries, and then from below, appeared a Kubelwagen, followed by a very long convoy of military equipment slowly nearing where the Germans were.

Other Gensokyans also took notice of this, but most considered their safety and distanced themselves from the clunking metal monsters. Some Germans took advantage by waving at them, only to be waved back.

?Well that was damn quick, alert the Kappas; they have more preparation to do!? yelled Krebs at a random group of German soldiers. They instantly acknowledged and split up to find the ?engineers?.

Now with a useless Gap filled, you (andykhang) can now take on your part.

Here the story, I want to write more, but exam is closing in, sooo...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Noon--

"A-Ahem, due to unexpected situation, we're now have to postpone the annual "Heaven Climb", as the road have suffered major damage."

Sounding apologetic, Nitori's voice sounded out through out the venue from the megaphone that's she made. The crowd didn't look too upset though.

That's because...

"And so, to compensate for this, we have decided to organize another festival!"

Cheers immediately follows, as expected.

Most of Gensokyo's resident like to have a party after all.

"Thanks to everyone's support, the monster that's the cause of this incident have been slain. In recognition for that, we have prepare the feast made of the monster's meat, with the help of an unexpected chef, Sakuya Izayoi!"

Taisui, having enough of the disturbance, was trying to destroy the venue along with everyone in it.

Predictively, he have picked a very wrong group of enemies, and suffered his fate as being the literal fish on the chopping board.

"As for the race, we'll started it again in one month time! (Thanks to the support of our VPaIP (Very Powerful and Important Person)...) And now, let begin the festival, starting with the one having the most contribution to this incident... our local gardener, Yuuka Kazami!"

For instance, right after having her beloved car smashed, Yuuka immediately closed the distance to the monster and, with only her two hand, pound it apart.
For the reward, she?s taking the meatiest part, and for some reason, the liver.
?Hm?This better be good.?
?Not to worry, you work have helped making the meat very tender.? (Sakuya)
?Well, I still have the liver anyway. It?s good to have some fertilizer.?
?Moving on! For protecting all of the participant, our local shrine maidens ?Reimu Hakurei and Sanae Kochiya!?
After that, the monster dive deep into the ground to hide from Yuuka, and create an earthquake that stumble the venue and the track. Since most people can fly, it?s effectively useless? except for the outsider crew. And the debris that shot out is still dangerous even for Gensokyo?s resident. It was then that the shrine maidens deployed a barrier that protect everyone.
Incidentally, Reimu ask for the bone as an reward.
?Fufufu? If I enshrine this and sell this as a charm against natural disaster, no doubt people would come to my shrine!?
??Would this be alright to bring a monster to your shrine??
?It will be fine! My Intutition said so!?
Will this worked or not is a story for another time.
?Though?It would be even better if the head is still intact though.?
Said Reimu, as she glared as the one responsible for this.
After that (and after Nitori said there would be reward for this), the audience finally started to counterattack, with the youkai go into close combat and the fairies saturated the sky with Danmaku. Even the angel is supporting from the sky, and the outsider aim all their cannon to fired as the monster.
Because of that?
?Hey, that thing was wrecking the race?and my own entrance!?
As the fight going into it climax, and the monster have nowhere to run. A crimson beam suddenly splited the sky from above, pierced the head and into the ground, as if it from the will of Heaven. Then, from the source, heavenly light came through the gap and dive into below, as if cleansing the sin of the mortal. After the light fade, a girl in her blue dress, with her hand holding a crimson sword, decent to the below.
?I mean, do you know how hard it?s to prepare the light show for this occasion, yet suddenly this guy come out of nowhere and steal my thunder!?
She?s the deliquent celestial, known for the earthquake incident, and the sponsor for the race to the Heaven.
?Um? and for delivering the final blow, our residential Celestial and sponsor for the Heaven Climb? Tenshi Hinanawi!?
Incidentally, she ask for the heart.

Just going to leave that to you then? Just start on it being the wimp of the Youkai or whatever, since that's basically most of how Gensokyo work.

And what crossover? Also who the triple B?

Hm... how about it? Aya should have ton of stock photo of the Gensokyo's landscape for her "journalism". She's also a prideful being that like to spread information as a sign of superiority. Just have them make some kind of trade, like have her newspapers be spread to outside or getting new camera or something.

Title: Re: Touhou Thread User Story Medley! ~Shenanigans of Maiden Community~
Post by: Hannibal_Kills on August 15, 2016, 12:51:05 PM
I'll give it a shot then...
(https://www.socialnews.xyz/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/20/suicide-a-man-put-a-gun-to-his-head.jpg)

After the awards ceremony, once again the residents of Gensokyo and their Outside World guests had themselves a party. It is and always the activity no resident of Gensokyo would ever get bored of; doesn't mean the Germans would not enjoy their second round of sake.

Maxwell did felt astonished with the powerful ability of Gensokyo's residents and people to actually fight back against any threat, be it a giant catfish or maybe the whole German company! He took a sip of the sake from a cup and found it to be a really odd-tasting alcohol. Of course because from where he originally belonged, drunk-making liquids are made from fruits while here, they are made from rice. Nevertheless, it was not a disappointment for his first sake.

Then, he took attention of a girl with similar outfit from the girl who gave him the small paper fortunes in exchange of the donation. But this girl had a green hair, as opposed to the brown hair of the earlier shrine maiden. He tapped on the girl's shoulder and made her turn around. Her, obviously Sanae's, reaction upon seeing Maxwell was indeed surprising.

"A-are you from the Outside World? Your clothes seem to prove that..." she asked stuttered. Maxwell nodded awkwardly.

"How's the technology level has progressed out there? Did cellphones-" before Sanae finished her ranting of questions however, Maxwell crashed both of his hands on each of Sanae's shoulders. Looking at her straight in the eyes he asked,

"When was the last time you have been isolated from technology?" in a deep, raspy voice of a man of the Wild West.

"S-since early 2007?" she replied.

"Well, wanna know something?" Sanae nodded nervously. "The last time I got in the same situation was when John McClane played 'Simon Says'."

Sanae was disappointed because she was still not able to keep up with the Outside World, despite originating from it. Nevertheless Maxwell?s presence made Sanae feel not lonely again. Then, Reimu came to the scene, but before she could say a word, Maxwell questioned first.

?Ah, it?s the red-white lady, howzit going?? Reimu chuckled at what hears like a strange but friendly accent to her. Then, the three plunged into a conversation.



 Meanwhile in the German company, Burgdorf and Suika were drinking it on as the two gave out a loud laughter to each other. Steiner only took a cup before checking on his soldiers. Even when it was supposed to be the time to get happy , he was still worried that he would get kicked out of Gensokyo. Not only had he wanted to protect the name of the Fatherland, he also wanted his soldier to enjoy.

Their Secondary Forward Operating Base was built in the middle of a vast grassy field near yesterday?s finishing line. The breeze was cool up there but still some soldiers didn?t like the sun as they were on top of a mountain, so they sheltered themselves anywhere a shadow was formed.

Suddenly, a Gap formed right in front of him and came out Yukari?s head. Steiner was surprised but the other troops just kept it calm.

?Who are you, why my troops aren?t responding why what?? Steiner could not control his mouth and his grammar went kaput.

?Never worry, only you?re the only officer left who hadn?t encountered me,? said Yukari. Out of her Gap, came another woman, and the woman was Aya Shameimaru, the news reporter for Bunbunmaru. In her left hand was a file and Steiner was interested what this woman with wings brought along with.

?I heard that you are going to get kicked out for not bringing them news and evidence of any progress made here. So my temporary partner here wants to do a trade with you, she?ll give you these photographs of locations in Gensokyo?? Aya handed over the file to Steiner and he felt a good emotion when he looked closely at the high-quality of the photographs taken. Every tree, every house and even random people who happened to be in the picture had its very unique detail. After looking through nearly a hundred photos, he closed the file and gave a stare at the two.

?And what is the deal I must ask?? asked Steiner as he prepared himself for anything. 

?Simply, I want to do an interview with the soldiers here including you for my newspapers.? Steiner hated news reporters flashing their cameras about but this time, he accepted the exchange of information as there?s only one to worry about.

?Behave though when approaching my soldiers,? reminded Steiner. Aya went full-on as she instantly went to the nearest pack of Germans soon as Steiner finished his sentence.

?So, do I send these pictures myself? If possible, I?d like your help to send them to the Japanese officials,? said Steiner asking for Yukari?s help.

?Nope, I?m going to hibernate for a while now. I?d send this earlier to them instead if I could, but now I?m a bit lazy and tired. Have a nice day in Gensokyo!? Then, Yukari just disappeared as she instantly sank down her hole. Steiner picked up the file and tried to find anyone that could send it. He found Arnold to be the perfect man and ordered him to do so, and so he did.

?That?s so loyal of him??

Meanwhile Aya moved on from men to men as she scooped up information regarding the Outside World.



Aya?s interview?

?So these so-called ?firearms? shoot bullets? But you said they can?t simply spray and pray that one hits the enemy, that sounds suck-ish.? stated Aya as she held her pencil.

?Well, these are meant to fire both accurately and efficiently lethal,? answered one of the soldiers as he loaded his Karabiner 98k with a stripper clip.

?So, they are able to bring death to anyone that gets hit? That explains a lot because ?bullets? here are essentially non-lethal and are used primarily for fun and bringing harmony,? said Aya as she explained the mechanics of Gensokyo.

?Well, this one however brings only bad and sad emotions both to the user and the victim. It could however be used as a tool of fun by firing instead at non-human or at least non-living targets such as a tin can.? Aya scribbled down more notes in her journal.



Meanwhile in another part of the FOB?

?Feuer!?

A Tiger tank fires its cannon at a target roughly 1,000 metres away. It was the nightmare the Allied tankers faced early in the war for it not only had a gun that could take out any tank they had, it also had armour that could withstand all but the most powerful shots from the front. But in the same time, it was mechanically unreliable as it was too over-engineered. Because of that, it was always a joke to say German engineering was the best.

Just recently, the Kappas brought Rika along with her tank who was interested with the tanking of the Outside World. The Germans, especially the mechanics however gave a good laugh at how ?colourful?
Rika?s tank looked and made a quote: ?Made by a girl? Understandable?? They did not deny however the willingness of the girl to build not only one but two tanks by her own. Rika wanted to take some lessons and tips on how to design a better tank though the highest knowledge of that available belonged to the mechanics.

?The tanks looked menacing, unlike mine which looks silly,? stated Rika, self-criticizing.

?Nah, when Gensokyo grows an army, you can finally feel proud,? said a random soldier trying to cheer her up.
 
PUHMM!!!

Again, a shot was fired and this time it was by the Panzer IV, which managed to blow up a crudely-made cabin with High-Explosive shells. The Kappas and Rika were amused by the sounds and smoke.



So finally my will has returned after like months and months of Writer?s Block.

Well, let start the new storyline...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the party was over, a week have passed until then.

The german still remain to marked out the terrain and get to know with the local resident, the race track have been partially build and even have the appearance of racer going up and down, and life were peaceful.

...But that's not Gensokyo, isn't it?

*BOOOOOMMMM*

Suddenly, as always, the Scarlet house was exploded to pieces. The shrine also came tumbling down too. And whatever have caused it, it's also aimed at the race track too.

To know what happen though, let take back a few day. When Reimu decided to plan another donation scheme of her...
