Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom/Сюжет

Предыстория

Где-то существует божественный дух по имени Дзюнко, затаившая злобу на лунян, в особенности Чанъэ за то, что её муж убил сына Дзюнко. С тех пор её чистый, незапятнанный гнев рос и стал столь сильным, что в ней буквально не осталось ничего кроме. Её ярость могли утолить лишь постоянный атаки на Лунную столицу, но и они были безуспешны. Так она встретилась с Гекатией Лапислазули, богиней Ада, которой тоже не нравилась Чанъэ, так что они объединили силы. К Дзюнко также присоединились адские феи, такие как Клаунпис, которых она очистила до состояния чистой жизненной силы, чтобы они могли громить Лунную столицу, оставаясь неуязвимыми для очищающего оружия лунян.

В связи с этим лунной богине Сагуме Кисин и лунным мудрецам ничего не оставалось, кроме как заморозить Лунную столицу и попросить Дореми Свит создать копию города в Мире снов. Конечно, луняне не могли оставаться в этом пространстве вечно, так и был разработан «План переноса Лунной столицы», в рамках которого Генсокё должен был быть очищен от скверны, чтобы луняне могли поселиться там. Для избавления от ёкаев, живущих в Генсокё, Сагуме создала Оккультный шар под названием «Теория лунного заговора», позволивший бы Лунной столице появиться на Земле, в Генсокё (что привело к событиям «Urban Legend in Limbo»).

Пролог

Вскоре после событий «Urban Legend in Limbo» на горе ёкаев разбился странный паукообразный дрон, который встал на ноги и начал исследовать всё вокруг. Рейму и Санаэ решают исследовать его и понимают, что он прибыл откуда-то из космоса. Хуже того, там, где проходит дрон, увядают деревья и появляется туман. Тем временем в Эйентее Эйрин и Кагуя понимают, что пришёл день вторжения лунян, и в ответ они решают не принимать участия в инциденте напрямую, ведь именно этого и хотят луняне, и приготовить Эликсир ультрамариновой сферы, который Рейсен должна была доставить Рейу и компании. Мариса, в свою очередь, всё ещё изучает Оккультные шары, и как раз понимает, почему же один из них отличается от других, когда к ней приходит Рейсен. Пока Генсокё угрожает новый кризис, Рейму и остальные отправляются сразиться с тем, кто стоит за этим инцидентом.

Сюжет

Сперва героиня встречает Сейран, члена «Eagle Ravi», разведывательно-ударной группировки кроликов, прибывшей очистить Землю. Сейран пытается не дать героине достичь озера, но терпит поражение. Чуть дальше в горах на героиню нападает Ринго, ещё одного кролика, пришедшего на помощь товарищу.

Прибыв в Мир снов, героиня сражается с Дореми Свит, которая сильно удивляется тому, как ей удалось проникнуть в мир снов в физическом теле, будто бы попав в ловушку. Затем она объясняет героине, где та находится, и пропускает её в Лунную столицу.

Город лунян оказывается заморожен, а охраняет его Сагуме Кисин, молчаливая до тех пор, пока не потерпит поражение. Тогда она расскажет о плане перемещения Лунной столицы на Землю, а именно в Генсокё. Конечно же, способность Сагуме тут же начинает действовать, делая так, что её слова никогда не исполнятся. Сагуме затем говорит героине, что та единственная, кто может остановить инцидент и отправляет её в Море Спокойствия.

Это место, обычно безжизненное, оказывается переполненный адскими феями. Позаботившись о них, героиня встречает их лидера, Клаунпис, которая поздравляет её с победой над несущими безумие феями. Потом, вспомнив, что хозяйка разрешала ей делать что захочет с посланниками Лунной столицы, и она решает немного поиграв. Сразившись с Клаунпис и победив её, героиня узнаёт от той о том, что луняне ничего не могут сделать до тех пор, пока феи владеют Морем Спокойствия.

Наконец, на другой стороне Моря Спокойствия героиню встречает Дзюнко и рассказывает о своём плане. Он либо будет успешен, либо нет, и зависит это от того, принимала ли героиня лекарство Эйрин (PointDevice) или решила обойтись без него (Legacy Mode), причём имеет значение то, терял ли персонаж жизни.

Концовки

Принципы, по которым назначаются концовки, отличаются от других основных игр серии тем, что их нельзя разделить на хорошие и плохие. Определяются они выбранным режимом и тем, терял ли персонаж жизни.

Концовка Рейму (PointDevice Mode или Legacy Mode без потери жизней)

At Eientei, Reimu is talking with Eirin Yagokoro about the events of the game. Reimu asks why she had to save the Lunar Capital with Eirin replying if she rescued the capital, she'd also rescue Gensokyo. Reimu complains that she thinks the Lunarians should've solved the problem themselves and Eirin tells her that only humans could solve it. Eirin then states she didn't tell her earlier because she thought if she said it's for the sake of the Lunar Capital, she'd refuse. Eirin regretted not telling her earlier, and Reimu left Eientei unsatisfied with that outcome. Along the way, Tewi Inaba asks Reimu questions related to the lunarians. Tewi states her reason for asking was for reference and she wanted to know the weak points of the lunarians. Tewi also mentioned she wanted to do some business with the lunarians.

Reimu didn't know what she was planning, but she knew the earth rabbit was going to get beaten up or use lucrative words, so she was interested, but at the same time, she didn't care because she didn't want anymore business with the lunarians.

Концовка Рейму (Legacy Mode с потерей жизней)

At the Hakurei Shrine, Sanae tells Reimu that moon rabbits are still invading the mountain. Reimu afterwards tells her that they weren't meant to defend against the lunarians, but actually managed to get caught in the story and it turned into saving the lunarians from Junko. Sanae says she now understands what the Ultramarine Orb Elixir was for. Reimu then says she didn't use it because she didn't know what was in it and,as a result, lost to Junko. A few days afterwards, the rabbits arrived at the Hakurei Shrine, where Ringo says the shrine is really popular amongst the moon rabbits while Reimu wonders why a being that despises impurities is on an Earthly surface. Ringo says only Lunarians despise impurity while moon rabbits don't care about that. Then the youkai came as usual, but somehow, they can see the moon rabbits with their own eyes. Apparently, the probe from the Moon was designed to prevent impure beings from approaching the moon rabbits. In the end, it was decided that Sagume and the lunar sages decided to purify Gensokyo so they wouldn't have to fight the youkai living there themselves.

Концовка Марисы (PointDevice Mode или Legacy Mode без потери жизней)

Back at her house, Marisa is discussing to herself about matters such as the Occult Orbs and the incident until Yukari Yakumo appears via gap and talks to Marisa a bit. Then, Yukari asks Marisa show her the Lunar Capital's Occult Orb. Marisa asks if she's going to break the orb because it was a dangerous object that could cause Gensokyo to fall into chaos. Yukari denies that claim and says it wouldn't be enough to bring Gensokyo into chaos, and she tells Marisa instead the orb could "change Gensokyo even more" and that they're lucky to have gained such information and magical power. After talking some more, Yukari left without touching the Orb. Marisa wondered why Yukari would show up at her house. Yukari's goal was to protect Gensokyo, but was she also considering using the Occult Orb to invade the Outside World or the Lunar Capital? Marisa thought that was impossible, but even so, the thought sent chills down her spine.

Концовка Марисы (Legacy Mode с потерей жизней)

At Marisa's house, Reisen is talking with Marisa about why the plan to chase away the moon rabbits has failed, with Reisen regretting having relied on Marisa for the job. Reisen also said that the only reason Marisa accepted the potion because of the fact that it had side effects, but didn't take it (Marisa denies that claim, saying she was excited that time because she had received a rare treasure). Reisen then laments the fact that none of the humans she offered the potion to could manage to solve the incident. Reisen then decides to solve the incident herself and Marisa asks why she didn't do so in the first place. Reisen then replied she didn't want to drink the Ultramarine Orb Elixir. (Marisa didn't tell Reisen everything that happened, though). Marisa thought she'd been deceived by the rabbit because there were some things she could not understand, but Reisen didn't know the truth either and Marisa thought she was right to not use the elixir. The only person that knew the truth was none other than Eirin. As such, Marisa didn't want to take part in such a plan.

Концовка Санаэ (PointDevice Mode или Legacy Mode без потери жизней)

Back at the Moriya Shrine, Sanae is busy writing her report to Kanako Yasaka about what happened. After she finished, Kanako read Sanae's report, which was only 80% true. When they finished talking about the report, the conversation quickly turned into one about Sagume Kishin, with Kanako saying if she's the Sagume, then the lunarians are akin to the heavenly gods. Afterwards, Kanako went into thinking. Since some of the lunarians had divine lineages, and they were going to come down to Earth (although reluctantly), it would be like the second coming of the Divine Emperor. Although Sanae didn't know this, a native god preventing such an event deserved to be praised. Kanako then thought, "This girl really does have it in her."

Концовка Санаэ (Legacy Mode с потерей жизней)

At the Moriya Shrine, Kanako Yasaka is training Sanae to be better at danmaku dodging by throwing various balls at her of various types. After she fails to dodge them, Kanako asks her to run a lap around the lake. After Kanako declares her to be "too slow", she tells Sanae to prepare for the next "danmaku" set. Sanae declares herself to be too tired and thinks she should take a break, but Kanako denies her request and says that attitude is the reason she lost against the lunarians and asks if she wanted to come back beat up like last time. After one last discussion, Suwako Moriya arrives with a conclusion from the analysis she's done with the Ultramarine Orb Elixir (which explains why Sanae went to the Moon without it) and declared it dangerous. Suwako declares that while it gives the user the ability to see the future, it had the strong side effect of purifying the past if it were used on an ancient, native god and that it had a strong influence on the Earth's creatures. Sanae asked if it'd be dangerous if she used it. Suwako replied that nothing deadly would've happen, but her impurities would be washed away, leaving her a "pure human". The difference between lunarians and earthlings isn't whether of not they have impurity to begin with, but lunarians were once earthlings that now live on the Moon. Even then, they can't live on earth because the concept of life and death is considered impurity in their understanding. The Ultramarine Orb removed the chance of getting hit by danmaku, along with the chance of being tainted with impurity. Since those that take it don't follow the concept of "extra lives", misses don't feel as heavy. Perhaps the Ultramarine Orb Elixir really is dangerous.

Концовка Рейсен (PointDevice Mode или Legacy Mode без потери жизней)

At Eientei, similar to Reimu's ending, Eirin is talking to Reisen about the events of the game. After a short conversation, they start talking about Junko. Eirin tells Reisen that Junko wholeheartedly hates someone on the Moon. Eirin explained Chang'e's husband killed Junko's son, and then she killed the husband as revenge. The husband's wife was none other was Chang'e, a criminal who drank the Hourai Elixir and is imprisoned in the Lunar Capital. Junko hated Chang'e, and consequently, the lunarians as a whole. When she tried to attack the Lunar Capital, she was tricked by the lunarians in several contests of wit, but only a small amount of lunarians knew that. Reisen was amazed that the Lunar Capital was under attack, and yet, she still didn't know about the people's role. Eirin then asked Reisen not to tell the other moon rabbits about it, since they can be used to overthrow Chang'e herself. Eirin didn't hide anything from Reisen in her explanation, and after talking with Eirin, Reisen felt a bit closer with her teacher. Afterwards, she realized she will no longer be able to communicate with the other moon rabbits like she could before.

Концовка Рейсен (Legacy Mode с потерей жизней)

Outside of Eientei, Reisen panics and fears she's going to get scolded for not solving the incident and regrets not taking the Ultramarine Orb Elixir. Reisen finally decides to avoid Eientei and sleep outside. This is when Kaguya Houraisan appears to her and tell her to come home. Kaguya also tells her that while Eirin is pleased with the information Reisen brought her, she's also angry at her for not taking the elixir. And Kaguya tells her that there was something else that not even Eirin knows about and wants Reisen to tell her more about it. Reisen then talks to Kaguya about matters related to Clownpiece. And thanks to Kaguya's favors, Reisen finally decided to return to Eientei, and by the time she got there, Eirin didn't seem so angry anymore. Reisen reported as much detailed information about the lampad to Eirin as possible, but nobody was able to grasp the lampad's true identity. When the opponent's identities finally revealed themselves, the atmosphere grew even eerier and thus, the events of the Extra stage took place.

Экстра-уровень

After the events of the game, the heroines return to their ordinary lives, only to hear from Sagume Kishin that the lunarians haven't returned from the Dream World and rabbits are still invading the Youkai Mountain. Not wanting the lunarians to find out that the Lunar Capital they're in right now is fake, she asks the heroines to return to the Dream World to find out what's going on. The investigation leads them to Doremy Sweet, and eventually Junko and Hecatia Lapislazuli, who revealed that they knew the lunarians would retreat to the Dream World and thus filled the surroundings of the fake Lunar Capital with life, leaving the lunarians completely suppressed. Then, the heroines engage in a long battle with Hecatia switching between her Otherworld, Earth, and Moon bodies, and Junko occasionally jumping in. Afterwards, Reimu tells them not to cause any more trouble or she'd exterminate them, Marisa decides to learn more about the goddess, Sanae talks to them about their attack strategies, and Reisen arranges for Hecatia to get to know more about Gensokyo's residents.
