??? 	Eek! Someone else is here?!
 	Shirley Wollstone LEAVES
Reimu 	Hey! Wait up!
 	Shirley Wollstone ENTERS
??? 	Why are you following me? I'm sort of busy here.Could you kindly leave?
Reimu 	Do you really think I'd just be like "Oh okay"and leave? With all that's going on?
??? 	I can't afford to be interrupted right now!
 	Shirley Wollstone LEAVES
Reimu 	Totally not suspicious. I better follow her, then!
Reimu 	I am almost certain that girl was a human...Where'd she go to?
??? 	I told you not to follow me!
 	Shirley Wollstone ENTERS
 	Human Traveling Through the Dreams of GhoulsShirley Wollstone
Shirley	Sigh, I might as well humour your nosiness.My name is Shirley. Shirley Wollstone.I'm a student from England. I uh, got here by accident, or so I thought.
Reimu 	I can assure you, most Outside World humans are definitely here by accident.You shouldn't be wandering around here, it's pretty dangerous.
Shirley	Pardon me, I'll explain. See, I have the innate ability of sensing paranormal presences,that includes this world you seem to live in.I've dreamed of it before, but this is the first time it's felt this real!
Reimu 	It does seem like you're actually here, but-
Shirley	Indeed! And I believe the reason for it is all these spiritsand undead monsters going rogue!I research the paranormal, sothis is astounding material for my thesis!
Reimu 	You're very talkative, huh?Listen, I understand, but I can't let humans, native or outsiders,put themselves in danger like this.
Shirley	Ah, so perhaps you're like, a guardian around these magic lands?Well, turns out I do have some magic with me.This grimoire of mine is not just for mere looks, you see.
 	BGM: Dreamwalking Girl
Shirley	I just need some more time to record all of this for my research.But if you're going to keep stalling me, thenI shall show you the power of this grimoire's ancient magic!
 	Shirley Wollstone DEFEATED
Shirley	Goodness, okay! I give up~
Reimu 	Your Outside World magic is nothing compared to the magic here.
Shirley	I'm still sort of new with all this danmaku stuff too, so I should have known.
Reimu 	Well, go home, it's not safe here. And forget about bringing proof,this land is hidden for a reason.Now, if you'll excuse me... Wait, where am I heading...
Shirley	Umm, if it's of any help, I sensed a lot of energy coming from the graveyard up north.
Reimu 	I see...

 	Phantom Cemetery Road
 	BGM: Matsue, the Forgotten Graveyard
 	Sachiko Hotarumiya ENTERS
??? 	Gahahahaha! Lookie what we got here! A human fry, let's scare the hell outta her, fellow spirits!
 	Sachiko Hotarumiya LEAVES
Reimu 	How come I've never seen that tower before? It'd be pretty hard to miss.It's gotta be the work of these undead weirdos, they are acting even more aggressively around here...so I'm definitely getting close to whoever's causing all this ruckus.
??? 	Teehehe!
 	Sachiko Hotarumiya ENTERS
??? 	Yup, we're weirdos, who are about to turn you into a weirdo as well.
Reimu 	Uh, I'm good, thanks.
 	Spirit of the Grudge FiresSachiko Hotarumiya
Sachiko	Although, you're even more of a weirdo already.To even think you could stand a chance against our rebellion.The only logical explanation is that you'd like to join us in death!
Reimu 	Like I said, I don't want to join your gang of ghosts.And what's this 'rebellion' you're babbling about?
Sachiko	We're invading Gensokyo, of course! Don'tcha see?So many vulgar spirits with worldly attachments, grudges, andsome in denial of their deaths, even.We're now being given purpose.Ohoho, our master's cause is sooo just, isn't it?
Reimu 	That's just nonsense. How about you all just, you know, move on?Pass to the other side? Like any rational being would.
Sachiko	Booooring~There's no fun in hell, or heaven, even less in purgatory.Pranking the living gives us all such euphoria!You wouldn't get it though, 'cuz you're alive and stuff.
Reimu 	You're right, I don't get it at all.Which is why I'll have to exterminate you rotten ghouls! It's my duty as a shrine maiden to keep Gensokyo from being disturbed like this, after all.
Sachiko	Ahh, hehe! So you're that shrine maiden...From the Hakurei Shrine. In that case...
 	BGM: Tread Lightly on the Vengeful Fire ~ Forsaken Nirvana
Sachiko	I'll take your soul outta you, and you shall becomeone of us, rejoicing in the exhilaration of death!You'll burn with the grave flames of hell! Gahahahaha!
 	Sachiko Hotarumiya DEFEATED
Sachiko	Wh-Wha?!...Teehehe, I'm done for!
Reimu 	Now that you'll stop whatever it is you were going to do,spit it out. Who's this master you were talking about?
Sachiko	You're lucky my flame's all worn out!So uhh, my master... well...I haven't personally met her, I only hear her voice.It's like this for most of us, so I dunno where she's at. That big ol' tower leads to purgatory, though, so...
Reimu 	If this 'rebellion' of yours is mostly coming from purgatory, then she's gotta be there. Right?
Sachiko	I've already said too much!
Reimu 	Alright, you weren't that much a waste of my time, then. Now, return to your grave, and stop bothering people!

 	The Tower of Purgatory
 	BGM: Soul Harvest Tower
 	Xiuying Lin ENTERS
 	Xiuying Lin DEFEATED
Reimu 	This place is massive!And that ghost just now was hiding all of this too, huh?That door... It has to be here.
??? 	My oh my, a human?
 	Colette de la Croix ENTERS
??? 	This is no place for humans!Well, living ones, at least.May I ask what is your business here?
Reimu 	My business? My business is the lot of you!All of Gensokyo is being attacked by undead creeps! Are you this so-called 'master'?
 	Undead SongstressColette de la Croix
Colette	Ah! Where are my manners?My name is Colette de la Croix, an elite advocate of the rebellion.I'm not 'master', but I'm a close friend of hers.If you wish to speak to her, I'm afraid she is... rather busy, currently.
Reimu 	Yeah? Well, I don't care if she's busy.I already know what she's doing anyways. One of your good-for-nothing ghost rebelstold me what I needed to know.
Colette	Oh my, I see. So you have come to stop us, is that so?I get you're upset, but perhaps if I told you moreabout our cause, then you will learn to understand the beauty of it all?
Reimu 	Absolutely not. Are all dead people this dense?
Colette	Just look at me, and you'll realize just how much death canmake you flourish! Like a blossoming flower, yes!If you've made it this far, then you are very powerful, yes?Just imagine how much more powerful and beautiful you'd become, if you embraced our cause.
Reimu 	It's more like you reek of death, and there's no beauty in any of that!
Colette	Ah, you have seen through my disguise... I suppose I underestimated your sense of perception.Very well, there is no point in hiding it. So...
 	BGM: The Primadonna's Blinding Love
Colette	How about a song? Yes yes, a beautiful, enchanting songshall show you what it means to become more when you die!
Reimu 	No song will change the fact that what's more beautiful than deathis the beauty of life! So bring it, wicked zombie!
 	Colette de la Croix DEFEATED
Colette	My oh my, how fearsome, red-and-white lady! Your power is so beautiful!
Reimu 	And you say you become more as an undead thing, how pitiful.
Colette	I most definitely underestimated your strength.Such a waste, however, that you wouldn't join us.Hmm, I reckon this is not good for us. My acquaintances will not like this. I will have to alert Lady Mercury shortly... Excuse me, dear!
 	Colette de la Croix LEAVES
Reimu 	Huh? Hey, wait!Hmmm, door's open... I guess I should just head in then.

 	BGM: Fallen Heaven
 	Colette de la Croix ENTERS
Colette	Ufufufu, you're persistent, red-and-white!To think that humans could be this strong, it's fascinating!I'll always treasure this moment of marvel!
 	Colette de la Croix DEFEATED
Reimu 	So this is purgatory, huh? It is actually... kinda calm.Almost desolate too.Like a wasteland of spirits...Now that I'm here, come out, and show yourself!
 	Mercury Nachtschatten ENTERS
??? 	Ahh, thou art the infamous human shrine maiden I have been hearing about.Welcome to purgatory!
Reimu 	I've finally found you! You must be the leader of this dumb 'rebellion' going about.That zombie girl from before, she must've told you already.
??? 	Well, forsooth I am! And forsooth she did. But even before she informed me, I had already known thou would be here.
Reimu 	Come again?
??? 	Those spirits, and 'zombies' as thou call them. I can see through them all.'Tis the ultimate power of necromancy, I had mastered these arts for hundreds of years.Thine strength is very admirable, I must confess. Colette did not convince thee of joining us,but in earnest, I care not.We need not thine power for this war against the living, I know where thou stand in all this.But that means thou art the foe, 'tis something I certainly can not allow.
Reimu 	Alright, you're not as moronic as the others.But what's your real goal here?
 	Bewitching Necromancer of YoreMercury Nachtschatten
Mercury	Surely one of mine own underlings told thee alreadyOverthrowing the living for more power is our goal, although...I am aware Colette and mine own other partner were trying to use me for their dram secret agenda.What those beldams know not, however, is that this is for mine own benefit, oohoho!With all this power I am absorbing, I will not be shackled to mine own living body.She shall not be able to drag me down no more!
Reimu 	I don't care about you witches' problems.I just want you to put an end to this madness, now!And what's with the body stuff? You're a fake, then...
Mercury	...Fake? Nay nay, I'm as real a deal as it gets.An Ikiryō such as myself is the soul separated from their still living body.Mine own living self would have never agreed to do this, so I had to act on mine own accord, with Colette's help.
Reimu 	Well, dead or alive, I'll just go ahead and beat you up untilyou return all these spirits back where they belong.It's been a long, cold night, so I'd like to get it over with.
 	BGM: Fantastic Tome of Walpurgis Night ~ Black Rose
Mercury	Ooohohoho! Speak of idiocy!Thou art very strong, coming all this way and all.But to bethink I would hold back now that I am mine own being, at mine peak? Futile!
Reimu 	I don't expect you to hold back, I expect me to exterminate you!Regardless of what you do!
Mercury	O behold, on this night of Walpurgis, at which hour witches would be sent to oblivion.Saint Walpurga was hailed by the Christians of Germany for battling "pest, rabies, and whooping cough, as well as against witchcraft". Christians prayed to God through the intercession of Saint Walpurga in order to protect themselves from witchcraft, as Saint Walpurga was successful in converting the local populace to Christianity.I would, however, rise back up stronger than ever.And with me, the remnants of the dead in the earth's soilshall hast their revenge upon humanity!For thine poor soul shall cease to exist tonight, and be rebornanew. O behold, the necromantic arts of yore!
 	Mercury Nachtschatten DEFEATED
