Gensou Shoujo Wars Complete Box/Story

Overall plotline of the GSW games. Taking reference from the original games, the events of the GSW supposedly took place from Lunisolar Calendar seasons 118 to 120 (2003-2005). Most of the incidents would only take from around a few hours up to a entire day to resolve.

• Stage 1R: Keine visited Hakurei Shrine to enlist Reimu's help in solving the latest incident, helping her to dispatch some fairies.
• Stage 2R: Keine and Reimu arrived at the Human Village to find leads, where they had a small skirmish with Rumia, temporarily receiving help from Youmu.
• Stage 1M: Sensing the start of an incident, Marisa began a new adventure. While circling the Forest of Magic for leads, she saw a lost Nitori, who was trying to reach Kourindou. Marisa decided to guide her there, but encountered Momiji on the way, who demanded that Nitori return to Youkai Mountain. Nitori was unwilling to return, and thus she and Marisa drove Momiji away.
• Stage 2M: The Fairies of Light were loitering around Alice's house, planning to break into it to search for valuables, but were discovered by Alice, forcing them to make up a completely random story of how they, a trio of youkai, were threatened by a black magician. Incidentally, the description happened to fit Marisa, whom Alice had all been too familar with. When Marisa and Nitori arrived at Alice's place to recruit her, Alice attacked the duo out of suspicion. After convincing Alice that they're innocent, Marisa and her friends then turned to punish the Fairies of Light.
• Stage 3: The incident resolving team confronts Sakuya and Meiling in the Village, who were acting suspicious. They manage to escape however.
• Stages 4R-5R: Reimu, Keine and Youmu take Akyuu from the Human Village to Hakurei Shrine to prevent the mysterious crimson fog from affecting her weak physique, recruiting Rumia into the team along the way. They encounter Elly on the way back, whom they defeat with temporary help from Aya.
• Stages 4M-5M:
• Stage 6: The girls regroup at Misty Lake, before battling Cirno there, who mistook them kidnapping Daiyousei. Daiyousei successfully convinces Cirno, and she joins the team. However, Sanae makes her debut and provokes the girls, especially Reimu.
• Stage 7: Momiji arrives at Misty Lake to call Sanae back to Youkai Mountain, which Sanae heeded. She also wanted to bring Nitori with her, but was driven away.
• Stage 8: The team reaches the Scarlet Devil Mansion and battles the gatekeepers there, Meiling and Elly.
• Stage 9: Infiltrating the SDM's great library Voile, the team is met by Patchouli, Koakuma and Kurumi. The girls struggle with Patchouli's EASIS trap, however Alice's thorough analysis allows them to decode the system and defeat Patchouli.
• Stage 10: Sakuya takes on the incident resolvers in the main hall. Yuuka, Elly and Kurumi later arrived as spectators. Sakuya is defeated, but she hasn't given up just yet.
• Stage 11: Waiting for the team above the SDM is Remilia, perpetrator of the Scarlet Mist Incident. Sakuya also reappears to aid her mistress with her remaining strength. The incident resolvers engage in the showdown with the SDM residents and emerge victorious, ending the incident.
• Interlude 1: Reimu, Marisa, Alice, Keine and Akyuu visit Kosuzu's library in the Human Village. Kosuzu accidentally unleashes a Makai Bug from an old Makai book she has, and the girls stop it.
• Stage 12: Reimu, Marisa, Alice and Keine are invited by Remilia back to the SDM for a feast. The party is crashed by Cirno, Rumia and the Three Fairies of Light, whom the girls intercept. Marisa and Alice, along with the Three Fairies of Light acquire their respective combination attacks.
• Stage 13R: Remilia, Sakuya, Yuuka, Keine, Alice, Cirno and Daiyousei hang out at Hakurei Shrine, to the dismay of Reimu. The shrine is visited by Sanae, who demands its closure to make place for the Moriya Shrine. The 2 shrine maidens duel, which ends with Reimu winning and Suwako bringing Sanae back.
• Stage 13M: Youmu visits the SDM's library to search for information regarding how to make unbloomable flowers bloom (referring to the Saigyou Ayakashi). Marisa later arrives as well, annoying Patchouli. Marisa decides to go get some tea at the kitchen, but stumbles upon a mysterious underground chamber instead. A girl's voice calls out to Marisa, prompting her to open the already-unlocked door, freeing Flandre. Marisa accompanies Flandre in shooting down bats for a bit, before Patchouli, brought to attention due to the rumbling, restrains Flandre with magic and warps her back to the basement. Marisa gives chase, dragging Youmu along.
• Stage 14: After the battle of the shrine maidens, Remilia notices that the SDM has been surrounded by rain, prompting her to dispatch the incident resolvers to the SDM in order to "stop a monster from escaping". The heroes of the Scarlet Mist Incident all regroup within the SDM, as they find Patchouli trying to seal the basement door leading to Flandre's room. Marisa elaborates that she wants to talk to Flan, and the team ends up clashing with Patchy. After Patchy is defeated, Flandre escapes from the basement.
• Stage 15: The incident resolvers, with aid from Sakuya, Meiling, Elly and Kurumi, battle Flandre to make her calm down, which they eventually succeed at, surprising Patchouli. After the battle, Remilia wants Flandre sealed away once more, but Patchouli manages to convince her out of it. Thus, Flandre is now allowed to freely roam inside the SDM, though her relationship with Remilia still isn't the best. Everyone returns to their normal lives, though the seeds of a new battle are brewing...

Dream Mode (NG+)

Season 120, Winter (2005)
Following Meeko's Chapter

Meeko and Makura decided to reexperience the heroines' adventures from start to finish through the Dream World, in order to search for a way for Makura to accept herself and live from now on as a part of Gensokyo. The duo invited the Fantasy Maiden Battalion to join them in the dream and watch over their progress, which also proved to be a great oppurtunity for the girls to reminiscence and reflect about past events. Since the passage of time in the Dream World is not concurrent to that of the real world, the girls are allowed to stay there for as long as they want.

However, midway through their journey, an abnormal entity began to surface in the Dream World: Shitone, an existence formed from Makura's lingering fear of technology advancement and science. She first appeared at the end of SSiB arc, subtly remaining at the sidelines for some time while also taunting Makura personally, before properly revealing herself to Makura during the short blackout period after the Fantasy Maidens broke through Hokkai's barrier to rescue Byakuren. Following the Byakuren rescue operation, Makura decided to talk to everyone regarding Shitone. Toyohime presented Makura with a special device created by the manager of dreams on the Moon (implied to be Doremy Sweet from Touhou 15) which can be used to erase Shitone and stabilize the Dream World.
For Route A (Witness the end of dreams once more), Makura decided to use the device and erase Shitone from the Dream World, as she wanted to fully reexperience the Fantasy Maiden Battalion's journey in the real world all the way to the final battle, so that Makura could understand herself more before facing Shitone. After finishing their journey, despite learning many valuable lessons, Makura has still not found her way of living yet, and thus Makura and Meeko are resolved to continue their search in the next dream (a new NG+ with Route B chosen).
For Route B (Head for the future beyond the end), Makura decided not to use the device, choosing to instead face Shitone head-on in the Fantasy World replicated inside the Dream World, while also requesting for the current Fantasy Maiden Battalion to accompany her on this final voyage.
