When she’s near the dorm, there’s only a small hole left, Reimu deactivates the ramjet engine to slow down, if not, she will hit the other side of the shield. Reimu anxiously looks at the hole and at her radar, the missile quickly catches up to her, she looks at the small hole and her radar continuously. Out of fear, she closes her eyes and hope for the best…
Luckily, she passes through the tiny hole with her wingtip missed the shield by a few centimeters. The hole closes behind her, the missile hits the shield and explodes, the drone not knowing the shield is in its way, slams into the shield and explodes as well.
Victor: “SHE MADE IT IN!!! THE DRONE IS DOWN!!!”

Everything can be heard through her radio, Reimu smiles in happiness, her squadmates form up with her as they fly above Gensokyo, cheered by everyone, from human to youkai. After a while, they land down at SAAC airport and are welcomed by everyone there. When their planes are shut down, they get out of their planes, they are greeted by Remilia, Flandre, Alice, Junko, Yuyuko, Yukari and many more. Reimu runs and hugs her plane mechanic who she has been in love with him after she took down Orochi squadron, he understands her and she now has the comfort that she lost a long time ago. After a while, Gensokyo thanks and says goodbye to the Russians and Chinese as they return to their country, Masayoshi returns to Gensokyo and Yamamoto becomes the president again.

*Jet engine and energy drive sounds

They drinks overnight while telling what happened during the war, everyone is fascinated both because of how insanely scary it was and how good the Gensokyo Guardians are. After the party is over, some sleep at Reimu’s shrine, others are still conscious enough to return home. Afterwards everything goes back to how it was before. A few days later, Gensokyo gets the news that during 23 years, there were a civil war in Japan that resulted in the Yamamoto’s side losing, leading to the war.
*A few years later
“Mama, what is that?”
“Hehe, that’s my plane, Kira, I used it for fighting other planes a long time ago.”
“Ohh!”
A happy conversations between a mother and her daughter. Reimu leans on her husband’s shoulder and looks at her child explores her plane. Suddenly her smile is gone for a moment, then she smiles again as she watched Kira plays around with the wheels, she probably has PTSD from seeing her childhood, the scenery looks nearly the same. Somewhere among the stars, her mother, father and Masayoshi watches her, filled with pride.
Nikita: “She’s a fully grown woman now, not only that, she has an incredible story just like us, but she has the happy ending, we reached this point when it was only a short period of peace, here, she ended the war and made a family later, a permanent peace for her and everyone.”
Masayoshi: “Yeah, she’s an incredible person isn’t she?”
Nikita: “You too Masayoshi, honestly it’s really difficult for someone to improve and take care for his people until the end of his life. You died as a hero, not something that I can say for many other presidents.”
Masayoshi: “Well, thanks.”
Ivan (Reimu’s father): “Speaking of president, who is in charge of Gensokyo now?”
Masayoshi: “For now, Yukari is in charge, when Kira is matured, Reimu will become the new president while she carries on her mother’s legacy. Since you were gone so soon, you didn’t get to see how it works.”
Nikita: “I see… we’ll check on her again later, let’s have a walk around shall we?”
Masayoshi: “Sure thing.”
Since peace is fully restored, Gensokyo deactivated it’s shield not long after the war ended, allowing outsiders to come to Gensokyo as tourists, no migration is allowed since after all, Gensokyo is still a dangerous place full of youkai and dangerous animals. Reimu looks up at a passenger plane on the sky, then she lies down on her husband’s laps and falls asleep, Kira sees her mom sleeping so she ran over, climb onto her and sleeps on her as well. A happy family.
As for others, during some experimentations, Marisa accidentally turned herself into a youkai and she’s now immortal, she might become another Yukari for Reimu’s descendants. Sanae also has a peaceful family with a daughter, they sometimes went to visit Reimu and let the kids play with each other. Reisen still runs errands for Eirin, but occasionally she’s free and is allowed to go to Lunar Capital to visit her people. Sakuya with Remilia’s help, has turned into an immortal youkai like Marisa.
No more wars, no more bad people, Gensokyo has become a peaceful place ever since…
War is just like a chessboard, the governments are the players and the civilians and soldiers are the chessman, they gave us racism, they tell us other humans are enemies, causing conflicts amongst humanity just to burn their never ending money, to satisfy their twisted desires. And history, is written by the winners, we never know what actually happened, most of our history, are lies, we have been taught mostly lies for all our life, never trust words blindly. War is not like a video game, you fight real people, people with life, with families, with hopes and dreams just like you, when we calm down and look at each others, everyone is the same, no matter their appearance or where they come from, we are all humans, after all.
