Okay, so after talking/roleplaying with a friend a while about Kaiju!Gensokyo and coming up with some pretty kickass monster designs for the Touhous, I decided to try and map this out into a story and may actually write it later on once...I figure out a way to keep it going without it dying like SO many other stories I've tried and failed to finish...yeah, let's drop the self-loath for now.
Anyway, as the name would probably tell you, this isn't going to be 'Reimuzilla vs. whateverthefuckkindamonstercomesather', more in the sense of something a little less like what some Kaiju movies or tv shows go for, probably just movies though since alot of them are 'Bigassmonster vs. the world or another bigass monster'. This said, the story itself follows the 'Renko and Maribel finally get to Gensokyo' deal and places the two within an 'alternate' Gensokyo one that's...not exactly the one Maribel's been 'visiting' in her dreams. I'm still trying to figure out what I can use to get Renko and Mari into thise Gensokyo so suggestions would help if you have any.
Anyway, the only problem with actually coming here is the fact that humans are the lowest on the food chain, even more so than they were before. If you want a decent idea of how far down they are, then picture how insects function in the food chain here in our reality. Yeah, it's that low.
The original idea me and my buddy roleplayed was that the Kaiju!Gensokyo Maribel and Renko drop into is all but a barren wasteland filled with ruins of what Gensokyo used to be. The monsters who live here pretty much destroyed everything and the human populace is on the verge of extinction. Renko and Maribel are no different from this factor and effectively get killed off literally
minutes after even getting there. The monster that ate them
discovers a spacial anomoly that leads to their world and weasels her way through it which takes her to Renko and Maribel's home towan where she effectively obliterates the city and all living in it. The worst part? The portal Renko and Mari fell through is
still open, so this means even more KaijuTouhous can come through at their own voilation and just...wreck shit. However, I figured that this idea wasn't really suited for the story being...well, the main focuses die way too early, which would mean I would have to focus on a monster that literally cannot be destroyed by normal means. This isn't even getting into the fact that the humans of the outside world will be dealing with a variant of
who is as tall (or taller) than the average skyscraper,
made of molten rock, is nigh impervious to conventional weaponrary (she took on Rika and a band of humans who were running an immense land battleship. They did not succeed.) and, on top of this, revives even IF she is killed.
... ... ...
So, I decided to change things around and go with this idea instead; The setting isn't as barren and there is some diversity in ecosystems, as opposed to the post apocolyptic wasteland of the previous setting. Renko and Maribel don't die off as quickly after falling into Kaiju!Gensokyo, in fact, the both of them manage to escape their first monster encoutner and find some humans who still live here albeit only a handful. One of them is Reimu who has teamed up with a good chunk of the science crew and Meira to maybe keep the human populace safe. Seeing that they truly do not belong in this world, Renko and Maribel need a way out, but the only way out is to try and replicate a Gap produced by Kaiju!Yukari (whom not even the monsters mess with). The science crew can create this buuut, they need various artifacts from across Gensokyo to recreate the spacial anamoly that closed up on them and maybe grant Renko and Mari another chance to go back home.
I'm still trying to figure things out and how things will go (I know how it's going to start and how it's going to end, I just need to make sure getting from those two points is good enough to make it a decent story). So yeah.
