"C'mon Marisa, you can't get away that easy!" the oni girl laughs hysterically as the ground violently shakes every other second, and small boulders and danmaku bullets scream past your head. You'd dropped your broom a while back while escaping the crazed demon, who seemed to be having way more fun than was legally allowed, and was now frantically racing across the uneven terrain, tripping up and losing your footing, grabbing on to branches and grazing your knees in a mad panic. This girl was so much easier to fight while airborne! You pitied anyone who'd had to have faced her like this.

Well, except other oni of course, as you vividly recall that fierce battle with the underground Deva of the Mountain. She relied on brute strength, except at the time, so had you as well. And she had respected that, because the oni play fair, and honesty is one of their better traits. However, this didn't seem very fair---

The barrage suddenly stops. You twist around to find Suika standing with your broom, a little smile playing on her face. "Hey ho, Marisa. Looks like ya dropped somethin' back there. Thought you might have wanted this, y'know? Kinda looked like you where in trouble there, trippin' all over your feet and stuff." as she casually throws the broom back to you, you catch it in your right hand and hold it tightly, and throw back to the small girl a look of confusion and puzzlement. She sighs in mock frustration and waves her hand at you, "C'mon, c'mon, go! Or this battle's gonna take all day! And if that happens, I'm not gonna have any time to fight her!" You suddenly understand and grin wildly, "Hah, yeah right! Like I'm ever gonna let the likes of you have the first battle of the New Gensokyo!" and you take off on your broom, now able to draw your own cards, and you lay down a charm that sends a reverie of stars cascading and plummeting to the ground, while the oni's black holes draw them in and destroy them. It really looks like the conflicts of space on earth. How 'bout that?

But as usual, you decide to put the little girl out of her misery, as the duel drags on for ages, and you realise that there are, sadly, much more important battles to be had, and you finish of the demon with one swift spark, demolishing the new forest in a matter of seconds. Well, maybe swift is the wrong word then...

"Oh my, it does look exactly the same doesn't it? Very impressive..." remarks a familier voice from behind you. "Was this your doing, Marisa?"

You start to smile, and that smile deforms into a wide, tricksters' grin, one to rival that of the tanuki and kitsune themselves. "Ah, Reimu, what took you so long? I was wondering when you'd get here!"

Marisa K: "Tell you what: let's be ready when Reimu comes back."
Suika I.: "Yep!"
Marisa K: "....and let's pretend we're mad at her."
Suika I.: *grins* "Y'got it!"

The Eternal Phantasmagoria that turned itself into reality. May the legacy of Touhou be indeed immortal!

I wish I could lucid dream and fly around in my world at super high speeds while this plays in the background, while also shattering the boundary of my dream itself and traveling to other people’s dreams, including the ones of who I know of

If there is one theme that I would describe as "Gensokyo's theme", then it would be Eternal Phantasmagoria. It may only be an arrange of "Welcome to Gensokyo Tour", but still. It is upbeat, fast-paced and gives off a vibe of pure ecstasy. I can even envision someone flying above Gensokyo, witnessing it in all its beauty while this theme plays. After all, Gensokyo is nothing but an eternal phantasmagoria itself.

Her facial expression right there says "That is perfection... I must have it. GIMME!"

nice story in the descrip, but Marisa can fly without her broom, same way Reimu does. she's just keeping it around, cause it's a witch thing. official ZUN-made representative of that is when Cirno fights her as an extra boss in TH12.8 and she doesn't have it with her. then again... CtC isn't an official Touhou game, so... good story.

[wither]

She's...
I don't know how you manage to make Suika boss while keeping her cute...
I...

Maybe my favorite extra stage theme just, period. It’s such an amazing adrenaline rush, feels like you could take on the entire world.

Suika: Reimu your back :D
Reimu: Wait how come I'm in Gensokyo? and why does it feel different?
Suika: BECAUSE I AM ITS GOD NOW MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Reimu: 0_0
Suika: YOU BETTER PREPARE YOUR LIVER because I got alot of beer to share with you :D

[Niiue]

woah only 7 comments? i guess i made it 8.

The New Gensokyo, but if Marisa and Suika We're the Creators.

[segasonic]

this definitely feels like a "new" gensokyo
