Destruction of Escalation 01:
Disclaimer:
Kitsu: This is a commission for my good friend Ozimyy, and is specifically made in line with what he wants for the story, because I have very little information and idea how Touhou works as a whole.
As such, this is an incredibly AU version of Gensokyo, and the world of Earth Bet will be the main focus. Which will also be very AU very fast, because of the things you'll see in the first chapter here, if that wasn't blatantly obvious already by the time you read it.
As it is a story for my Christian friend, and because Flandre is a literal child, there will be no sex scenes. However, some scenes involved might be minorly gory, somewhat violent, and generally not safe to show to your boss as a result, so I may have to put it in the NSFW section for that reason regardless, depending on what the moderator bros say, who I'll be asking before I post this.
After all, we wouldn't want y'all to be flashbanged at work with Flandre murking some poor mf by making them pop into a spray of gore, right?
Yeah, Flandre is busted as hell in this setting, and I don't think many things could truly harm her here, but I'm going to be leaning into the crack territory here to keep things as interesting as I can. After all, this story is meant to be a rather short one in the end.
I don't want to hear about the story not being canon, when it is clear that this is kinda the point. It would just lead to me pressing the ignore button on anyone who ignores this disclaimer and complains regardless.
Ozimyy will be making pictures to commission this for the most part, so expect it to come out decently quickly but not overly so. Especially as this technically is not a major priority.
As always, if this story is not to your tastes, the exit button is easy to find, as is the back button, and if worst comes to worst, Alt+F4 is your friend.
Anything you'd like to add Ozimyy?
Ozimyy: When it comes to images, I won't try to draw anything nsfw. However, things might unintentionally end up nsfw like with the Leviathan pic I drew. That was supposed to be red energy, however it ended up looking like blood so I had to alter it. The original will still be uploaded here on QQ however. Hope you enjoy the fic.

It was with careful thought and consideration that Okina Matara had come to the conclusion that defeating the Entities that had invaded their reality and split it into many alternate copies, might potentially be enemies that they would have to take rather seriously.
She was a goddess, and one with the power and might to match any of the other gods and Sages toe to toe without breaking much of a sweat, so she was normally confident that she was quite capable of dealing with existential threats to the land of Gensokyo without much effort. Yet this incomprehensible conglomerate of beings, the Shards as they had come to be known, were causing untold havoc and destruction in the outside world — or outside worlds as it were — and forcing themselves upon hapless humans for unknown purposes.
It was unfortunate, and rather annoying to deal with such intrusive aliens, and Okina had truly prepared a list of options to compare for the sake of potentially removing their influence from the world at large. It was something both herself and all of the other Sages had decided was a necessity, and something that should be carried out immediately, lest they invite a ruinous end upon themselves.
Of course, she couldn't simply ask the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, Reimu to deal with such things for her, regardless of how important it was. No, her efforts were put to
far better use shutting down the multitudes of Lunarians who had all gone to war with one another to decide which of the now split multiverse of interconnected moons was the pure one, in some strange form of fascism and nationalistic pride versus their alternate selves.
Nor could she call upon Marisa Kirisame, as the notorious thief had somehow managed to find herself investigating a black market revolving around the new Magic Card system that had been invented. Unfortunate, but it was only a matter of time before that was resolved, and she could also make use of her
unique talents to hopefully help the person she was leaning towards for this excursion to the outside world.
And on that topic, it would certainly have been rather nice to be able to bring Sanae along for this expeditious adventure. However, she was unfortunately not able to do anything remotely strenuous for the time being, as she had come across a rather bored Cirno, who was freezing lakes filled with frogs, and exerted herself strongly to reprimand the ice fairy on behalf of her Goddesses.
Sakuya was rather preoccupied with helping the other Sages and their familiars do their best to rebuff the constant attacks and intrusions by the Shards into their space, so she would be unavailable for the foreseeable future. This was also expounded by the fact that Yuyuko and Youmu had — for some unfathomable reason — decided to take a tour of the outside world, and enjoy what strange new delicacies they might have come up with in the last few centuries.
Okina could understand the appeal, but doing so now of all times was a rather poor choice of timing all things considered. Especially because that left her with essentially one option remaining, that she had any confidence in being able to complete the mission with any form of efficiency and expediency.
Flandre Scarlet. The solitary vampiress with the ability to destroy absolutely anything, regardless of what it might be. A power that said vampiress had used to great effect within recent memory.
Okina made her way to the Scarlet Devil Mansion through a secret backdoor she had placed on Flandre during the last time she had enlisted the girl's help, appearing behind her with a chuckle. It was somewhat dangerous to do such a thing, but Okina Matara knew full well how to deal with such things if a problem arose.
"Oh, Okina, it's you," Flandre said, turning to her with a small grin. "What's up?"
"I have a task for you, that only you can complete," Okina told her with a pleasant smile. "Something I assume you will be very interested in once I tell you."
Flandre gave her a fanged grin, her crystalline wings flapping once as she looked directly at Okina. "Lemme guess, you need something broken again, right?" she asked, tilting her head a little and closing her blood red eyes as she spoke.
"Yes, Flandre," Okina chuckled, adjusting her robes. "There will be plenty of foolish humans with special powers, and all of them are being controlled by the Entities and their Shards, in some attempt to invade us and study our abilities for themselves from what we have deduced."
"That's pretty rude of them," Flandre stated. "Can I break them?"
"Why yes of course," Okina grinned. "The entire mission I wish to send you on, is to gather information on these Entities, and then proceed to break every last one of them before they can break us. Are you interested in such a thing?"
Flandre nodded, adjusting her hat while she looked at Okina with excitement in her eyes, "Sure. Sounds more fun than just sitting in my room all day."
"Excellent, because I have already deduced the perfect place to send you to start your investigation," Okina explained with a smile.
"Oh? Where's that?" Flandre asked with unhidden curiosity in her voice.
"A smaller, run-down city in America known as Brockton Bay," Okina grinned. "I hope you don't mind, but I'll be sending Yukari to give you the ability to speak the language the moment she's free, as I'm about to be very busy myself soon."
"Alright, when do I start?" Flandre asked.
"The moment you walk through your bedroom door," Okina chuckled. "Good luck."
With that, she left Flandre to deal with what may come all on her own for the time being. After all, no matter how childish Flandre may look, she was still a competent individual within her own specialties.

Endbringer Sirens blared, the stars in his head slowly fading as the terrifying hat lady pushed him further and further, hunting him in the streets and causing him to grow more and more devastated and
angry.
Shots rang out. An eye, an arm, various pieces of his body were taken out and regrown minutes later as he tried to escape.
Kenta felt the rain turning sharp, tearing into his insides as he was forced towards the beast, the
Leviathan that was terrorizing his country. Very well, if he was to die, to fight this
Endbringer in a one on one battle and end up simply pasted for his efforts, then he would fight
valiantly, and be known as the
Dragon of Kyushu.
He would remove his fears, his doubts, he would burn them all away. It was inevitable, he would lose. But he would be
feared, for stalling the beast for long enough to—
"Are you an Entity?" a little girl called out to the beast, all the water pausing as it looked at her with an intense gaze.
"No, child, get away from there! The Endbringer will kill you!" Kenta called out to her, trying desperately to put himself in harms way so that she might be spared.
"Meh, I've seen worse," the child claimed, grinning as she held out her hand. "So, if that's an Endbringer… I wonder how long it will last?"
"What—" Kenta asked before the girl raised her hand, a red energy forming inside it until it formed an orb.
"Hehe, I got your eye~" she claimed, crushing the energy just as the Leviathan began to move.
With that, the Leviathan
exploded, sending Kenta flying backwards and knocking him unconscious from the blast.
"Heh, that wasn't even as strong as Yuuma~"
The last words he heard from the terrifying child before he passed out were barely registered, but he acknowledged them all the same.

Contessa's Path
hiccupped. Leviathan was removed from play, and Kyushu was still relatively intact. It completely changed the entire game.
She looked at the girl, her mind whirring with possibilities as she reached out and smiled. "Path to Alliance with that girl…"
Contessa paused, waiting for a new path to show up as the girl looked at her with a smirk. Nothing.
A cold sweat ran down her neck.
Her power wasn't responding. And she couldn't understand what the girl was saying.
How could she respond? What was she supposed to say? Why couldn't she access her power?
Her shard was no longer working. It didn't tell her what she needed to do to fix this. Was it broken? Did it leave her?
No. This couldn't be happening! She didn't know how to function without—
The girl laughed at her a little, shrugged, and left her alone to shiver in the rain.

AN:
Ozi: Hi, I commissioned this fic because Kitsu needed the money. Initially I didn't really expect much from the fic because it's just Flan roaming around in Worm doing Flan things, but the writing was smooth, and it went better than I expected.
Kitsu: I had fun writing this, especially writing Okina Matara. She was basically straight up butter melting off my fingers and all over my keyboard with how smooth it was and easy it was writing her.
I had a
hell of a lot of fun with her. And with Flandre, I honestly just based her on an old character Ozi had made, and went ham with it based on what little knowledge I have.
Kenta was an easy one as well, but I realized soon that uh,
Flan's power causes shit to pop, and there was a
lot of mass there to just pop.
Suffice to say, there will be a lot of Tsunami for a while in the pacific, and a new crater off the coast of Japan. But all things said and done, actually pretty chill in comparison to Worm canon.
As you can tell, this is an AU. That is
deliberate.
The world of Worm was split into multiple variants by the Shard Network iirc, which caused Magor Divergences™ in the Touhou timeline, and things like the Lunarians of Earth bet being actually pretty hostile still.
So yes, shit got fucked up, and Gensokyo had literally one option to send to solve the problem.
Enter Flandre Scarlet.
Exit Stage Left Leviathan.
Welp, here's hoping this will continue soon. Because I think it could be great.
And hey, if you liked this, toss cash me way so I can eat better food! Plz do feed the foxxo!
