Doors slide open and slam shut. Footsteps thud on the floor. One last door is thrown open, and an unknown intruder escapes Eientei, running into the night of the Bamboo Forest, A scream follows the intruder, countless rabbits giving up the chase as Reisen sinks to the ground. It's been a while since an incident like this, but...
Another artifact has been stolen!
This contest will be a continuation of the Artifact Contest series, in which contestants must design a boss fight that uses the gimmick(s) of another boss. This time, the artifact chosen belongs to Reisen Udongein Inaba, stage 5 boss of Imperishable Night. Be dazzled as bullets change places, rotate, and/or duplicate themselves, all while fading in and out of existence. All of these things and more can be made possible with the power of Reisen's Lunatic (https://i.imgur.com/SC450qJ.png) Gun (https://i.imgur.com/85Nocwp.png). Or her ears.

RULES
*All scripts must have a minimum of 6 patterns and maximum of 12 patterns, with each nonspell or spell being one pattern. Please remember that quality beats quantity, though, and adding patterns for the sake of having more is discouraged.
* Multiple difficulties are allowed. Judges are not obligated to play all difficulties and will likely pick one that matches their skill level, so be sure each one is balanced!
* Midbosses and stages are optional. If a midboss is present it may have up to 3 patterns.
* The only character that can't be a boss is Reisen (she can still be a player), everything else is fair game!
* Please include the player that you used to test the script with the download package.
* If done in Danmakufu or otherwise, script errors or other bugs may lead to docked points or complete disqualification depending on the severity of the issue. Be sure to thoroughly playtest!
