Harmony in Gensokyo

As our heroines make their way through the forest, they start encountering a strange amount of fairies. Fairies aren't all that smart, so they were mostly easy to take care of. "Its official. Fairies are NOT cool. They're annoying!" Rainbow Dash complains as she avoids a few fairies trying to rush her. The miko and witch both make easy work of most of the fairies, while Rainbow and AJ take care of the ones that slip away. "Ah'd be lyin' if ah said ah didn't agree with ya..." AJ says as she bucks another fairy into a tree. She looks up just in time to see an icicle fly towards her. She manages to avoid it, just barely. She looks up again to see two larger fairies flying above. One is Cirno, of course. The other has green hair in a side ponytail and a blue dress, plus a yellow ribbon around her collar and in her hair. The green-haired fairy decides to take on Rainbow and AJ, while Cirno fights the other two.

The green-haired fairy, named Daiyousei, rushes AJ first, who dodges. She then turns quickly and throws several kunai at her. Rainbow decides to swoop in and pull AJ away before they can hit. Rainbow tosses AJ at her and AJ manages to land a kick on the fairy. "Got ya!" Yells AJ. Daiyousei rubs her head. While she's distracted. AJ and Rainbow take off running. While this is happening, Marisa started flying circles around Cirno to distract her and make her dizzy. When they see her start wobbling in the air, Marisa and Reimu take off behind the ponies. The fairies finally snap out of it and follow them. They continue this chase until they finally make it out of the forest. Before having time to react, AJ ends up running right out into the lake. She closes her eyes, expecting the feeling of freezing cold water, but it never comes. She opens her eyes to find herself sliding along the ice. "Well ah'll be..." She looks up at the other three waiting for her. "Hope y'all don't mind!" AJ grabs her lasso from under her hat and ropes it around Rainbow's tail. "Let's go!" Rainbow rolls her eyes and continues flying and pulling AJ along behind her. Marisa and Reimu follow close behind.

Reimu takes a glance behind them to see the fairies flying after them. "Marisa...let's take care of them already. They're getting on my nerves." Marisa looks back at them as well and turns around to face them. "On it!" Reimu stops as well and throws several magic spell tags at them. Cirno and Dai fly off in opposite directions to avoid them, but Dai is caught off guard by a burst of stars from Marisa and gets forced downward. Rainbow spins around to whip AJ forward and she jumps and throws a hoof punch at Dai, hitting her right in the stomach. She even manages to land on her feet, but not until something gray and blond slides under her and trips her. It continues sliding until it comes to a stop under Rainbow. "..Hi Rainbow Dash!" It calls out to her. Rainbow stares at the creature before finally face-hoofing. "Derpy..." Cirno stops firing ice shards at Reimu and Marisa to look down. "Huh..? WAH!!!" She is suddenly hit with a large yin-yang orb and is sent flying. As she falls back into the forest, Derpy waves. "Bye flying thing...Huh..? Uh I can't stop myseeeeeeeeelllllllllllf!" Derpy yells as a burst of wind sends her sliding uncontrollably back toward the forest. AJ look over at Rainbow. "Why did y'all do that?? Did ya wanna know how she got here??" Rainbow groans and shakes her head. "If there are two things I know, its not to question Pinkie Pie randomness, and to not question how Derpy gets into trouble."

Having taken care of Cirno and Derpy, and watching Daiyousei fly off after them, they finally continue on their way. "Hey! We made it!" Rainbow yells. All of them look ahead to see they are finally approaching the mansion. "Good old Scarlet Mansion. I should pick up some books from Patchy..." Says Marisa. Reimu glares at her. "We aren't here to steal books! We're here to put a stop to this mist!" They finally get off of the lake and make their way through the rest of the forest. Just as they make it out, a colorful display of energy balls fly at them and they all dive for cover, narrowly avoiding them. "About time you showed up." Reimu looks to see Meiling standing before them in a fighting stance. "You were expecting us? ...No matter. We'll just take care of you and be on our way inside...!" She suddenly takes a foot to the face as Meiling decided to interrupt her to kick her. She kicks her foot at the others, sending another barrage of multicolored shots at them. Marisa manages to graze through, but the ponies end up taking several hits each. Reimu comes back to her senses in time and fires three yin-yang orbs at Meiling, one of them hits her and sends her back several feet. Rainbow chooses to come down from above with a heavy kick, but Meiling manages to block it with her hands. This leaves her wide open for AJ to attempt to kick her, but she moves faster and pulls Rainbow down to use as a shield. Rainbow yells in pain as AJ ends up bucking her in the side. Meiling drops her and jumps back away for a breather. "You guys are pretty good. Not enough to beat me though, obviously."

"Ah don't think we can win this one..." AJ says. Rainbow shoots a glare at Meiling. "No way are we giving up now! We've come this far, we have to keep going!" Meiling starts getting impatient. "Rainbow Sign: Wind Chime of Colorful Rainbows." She spins around and produces a heavy wave of colorful magic shots, most of them directly flying towards the heroines. The girls are hardly able to avoid them all as the barrage of shots continuously hit them with seemingly no end. Marisa decides she has had enough. "Ugh..Hey..! Rainbow! Do that tornado thing and make it big..!" Rainbow hears her and smirks. She manages to avoid enough of them to fly up and away from the barrage. She then starts flying rapid circles above, causing the wind to pick up with her more and more until finally it forms a big twister that proceeds to stop Meiling's attack and pick her up. "Waaah let me doooown!!!" The tornado continues to spin while Rainbow snickers at her. Reimu shoots a spell tag into the tornado and it hits Meiling right out and she spirals back to the ground. "Yeehoo! Way to go Rainbow!" AJ exclaims as Rainbow lands next to her and grins. "No need to thank me! Just being my awesome self!" Marisa rolls her eyes and flicks her ear. "Quit showin off. We aren't finished yet!" She and Reimu fly in through the window in the side of the library. AJ and Rainbow nod to each other and jump in after them.
