Chapter 1- New Land, New World
The area was quiet, the area being a very desolate area in a city district. There weren't any people here which made it quiet. Although there's a reason, monster investations. Terrifying and ugly beasts roam this area to kill, eat, or even look for world domination. Here in this city, in this area lived a man, to be specific a bald man. He was in his apartment just sitting down and reading manga with his dull eyes. His whole demeanor could be described with one word "bored."
The whole area was quiet, until a loud rumble and bright light shook the peace. It caught the man's attention and he stood outside his door and peered to the street below. The light faded and 8 strange looking figures laid on the concrete. The man went down the stairs to the figures and observed each of them.
A brown haired girl dressed in a strange looking red kimono, a blonde haired girl dressed as a witch with a broom next to her, A blue haired girl that looked like a vampire, a purple haired girl in purple robes, a green haired girl that was dressed as the first one except the outfit was blue and white, a white haired girl in a white dress shirt and green skirt that interestingly had a wispy thing floating next to her, another blonde haired girl in a white shirt blue dress and doll, and finally a black haired girl in a black skirt, white dress shirt, and had black wings on her back followed by adornments or a Tengu.
'What are these girls cosplayers?' The man thought eyeing their strange appearances. One of the figures started to stir and the man just stared. He could get into a defensive state but it wouldn't be worth it.
Reimu (the brown haired girl), shifted and groaned trying desperately to rid her hazy vision. She blinked and when her vision cleared her eyes widened and she shot up. She looked around confused until her eyes landed on the bald man. She jumped and pointed her purification rod at him, although he just stood there blinking.
"Uh, what are you doing?" He asked.
"W-Who are you and what is this place?!" She asked or more like demanded.
"My name is Saitama a hero for fun, and this is City Z." He said and looked at her confused. Sure there are not a lot of people living in City Z, but a lot of people have heard of it.
"City Z?" She asked. She was confused but did not lower her weapon.
"Are you seriously defending yourself with a fancy stick?" Saitama asked.
Reimu was taken aback, "Fancy stick?! This is a purification rod used by the Hakurei shrine maiden, it's a very-"
"Yeah yeah I'm stopping you right there." Saitama said with a bored tone. Reimu popped a vein and glared at him.
'Rude!' She thought. She was determined to start an argument with him until collective groaning and shuffling caught her attention.
"Aw man, I know I had a lot to drink last night but..." Marisa trailed off once she saw her surroundings.
"What the hell?! Where are we da ze?!" She exclaimed and turned her head in different directions.
"About time you woke up." Reimu said with her rod still pointed at Saitama. Marisa's eyes scanned everywhere, her eyes followed to where Reimu was pointing her rod.
"Who's the weirdly dressed bald guy?" Marisa asked. Saitama popped a vein and he had a pissed look on his face.
"Don't call me bald! And I could say the same for you what's with your looks?!" He exclaimed and pointed at her.
"Me? I'm a witch da ze." Marisa said and pointed to herself.
"That's weird, so you're not cosplayers?" Saitama asked.
"What's a cosplayer?" Reimu and Marisa asked simultaneously. Saitama just returned that confused look, what in the world is going on?
"U-Um.." A shy voice resonated, a voice belonging to Sanae.
"I-I think I could explain the situation. Oh excuse me my name is Kochiya Sanae." She said and bowed politely.
"Reimu-san you could lower your weapon." Sanae said. Reimu hesitated before complying and then sighing.
"Maybe we should all introduce ourselves." Sanae suggested.
"Fine. I'm the Hakurei shrine's shrine maiden Hakurei Reimu." Reimu said with her irritated persona.
"Kirisame Marisa a witch da ze!" Marisa grinned and tipped her hat.
"Why should I introduce myself to this human?" Remilia asked and glared.
"Just do it please Remilia-san we're in enough trouble since we're in the outside world." Sanae said.
Remilia avoided eye contact, "Scarlet Remilia, vampire and head of the Scarlet Devil Manor." She said.
"An actual vampire huh..." Saitama mumbled.
"Knowledge Patchouli, sorceress." Patchouli said simply and started turning pages in her book.
"Konpaku Youmu, half human and ghost servant to Yuyuko-sama." Youmu said and bowed.
"Half-ghost how does that work?" Saitama asked.
"It's complicated." Youmu said and Saitama left the issue.
"I'm Margatroid Alice, a doll maker." She said and made three dolls float next to her.
"Shameimaru Aya, Gensokyo's number one fastest reporter at your service!" Aya exclaimed and saluted with her camera.
They finished all their introductions and finally Saitama introduced himself to the rest of the group.
"Saitama, I'm a hero for fun." He said simply.
"A hero for fun what's that?" Marisa asked.
"I just beat monsters with one punch." Saitama said leaving the girls confused.
"So assuming he has not seen us, our appearances are foreign, and I have no idea where we are...we just transported out of Gensokyo didn't we?" Reimu asked.
"That's what I surmised." Sanae said.
"Perfect." Reimu deadpanned.
"How're we supposed to get back, none of us can power borders like Yukari." Remilia said.
"I don't know." Reimu said.
"What's Gensokyo?" Saitama asked.
"To put it in simple terms, it's a place where we come from completely separated from here." Sanae said.
"There's rarely any humans too." Marisa said.
"No humans?" Saitama asked.
"Yup, just us yokai!" Aya said and pointed to herself. "It makes do a great scoop what Reimu does here!" She exclaimed.
"Ah, by the way, what are you?" Saitama asked Aya.
"I'm a tengu!" Aya said.
"Also how come all of you're girls? Shouldn't the yokai be more creepy looking or at least male?" Saitama asked leaving some of them a little offended.
"It's complicated. The best I could tell you is that Gensokyo rarely has men, and there are beasts but the yokai are what we look like." Sanae explained. Saitama once again just left the issue and decided to leave the entire conversation since he was getting bored. Then a loud growl resonated, he thought it was another monster but then the girl named Aya laughed.
"Hahaha! Guess I'm hungry!" She said and rubbed the back of her head.
"Now?!" Reimu exclaimed.
"Well we did leave Gensokyo without breakfast so..." Marisa said and trailed off once she met Reimu's glare.
"Well in this world you would need money to buy food, but we don't have money." Sanae explained.
"Now that I think about it...Sanae you came from a place in the outside world right?" Patchouli asked and she nodded her head.
"What to do?" Reimu mumbled.
"Yo, you could come to my place." Saitama said. Remilia narrowed her eyes at him, she wanted to refuse.
"Ok!" Aya exclaimed. But they made it all the more difficult.
"Aya, should we trust this guy?" Marisa whispered to her.
"Well I don't sense anything bad from him so it's a start. Besides we don't know people." She responded. Reimu, although she didn't want to, knew she was right. Even if they're magical beings they can't live alone in this world they know nothing about. It would be harder for them to find a way back to Genoskyo. She started walking with the man with the others following.
---------------------------
Meanwhile in Gensokyo, the barrier was starting to show signs of it's weakness. The rifts connecting the outside world and Genoskyo have started to appear.
"This is proving to be more worse than I thought." Yukari said.
"Yukari." A pink haired women in blue robes appeared in front of her.
"Yuyuko." Yukari addressed.
"Yukari, I'm worried. Youmu's connection feels faint. More faint than usual when she leaves the Netherworld. In fact I haven't seen her at all." Yuyuko said with a worried tone.
Yukari became slightly alarmed by this. She summoned a portal that viewed the Hakurei shrine, both the outside and the inside.
"This is...not good." She mumbled when both of them showed a space void of people.
