keine is the reason its forgotten. everyones memorys of what happened in those final 11 months of that war were wiped clean so that was to be forgotten the worst of those was the final 5 months till it ended. for me its was 11. over the couse of the war i had a labrenth of bunkers built under gensokyo they were built because of events occurring in the outside world and that i had been monitering the barriers energy levels, at the time of the summer fesitval of 1945 the barrier was no thicker than paper is thin. i had escaped germany when it fell to the allies via teleporters. i should also mention that aya followed me to the outside world when the war started so that residents of gensokyo could under stand what was happening. all documentation of those events and her "big story" now rest in a fileing cabenet in the basement of her house. the teleporters were shut down so that we wouldnt be followed after geting through and the bunker facillitly was put on high alert constently monitering allied communications. then during the summer festaval it happend an american reconnaissance aircraft flew strait through the barrier untouched, as the silvery metal bird droned over head every one watched in awe as the human crew of that machine took photograhs of the landmarks later labeling certain locations and buildings as targets. in horrer i tryed to warn everyone what would soon come, those warnings would fall on deaf ears, it was belived that nothing could get through the barrier no matter how weak it became, that is untill the night of august 1 1945, on that night a force of over 2000 american heavy bombers and 700 escort fighters attacked with out mercy. air raid sirens wailed and flak filled the sky and the bombs fell like rain. i had fighters scrambled to intercept them and i also went up to fight them off but there were too many. american fighters where the first to strike raceing ahead of the bombers beliveing there was no opposition strafeing everything in sight, the defending fighters numbered 1000 includeing mine, the american fighters did minamal damage and were quickly routed, the bombers on the other hand were heavly armed and difficult to bring down, the defending fighters couldent stop them all before reaching their targets, the anti-aircraft emplacements scattered around gensokyo also helped stem the tide but they couldent be stoped, the bombers spread out over gensokyo each loaded specfically for the target they attacked, eientei and the bamboo forest were the first to suffer from the war, american aricraft that attacked there were loaded with barrels filled a special falmmable jelly that burns fiercely for long periods of time was weapon called napalm, the entire bamboo forest was engulfed in flames which would burn for days, everywhere there was chaos it was like the flames of hell had climbed to the surface burning every thing in sight, half of the enemy aricraft carried high expolsives which ranged from 1000 pounds up to 22,000 pounds, it was the largest of these high expolsives nick named "Grand Slam" that were droped on the scarlet devil mansion, the americans belived it to be a military barracks, amidst the chaos everyone was in a state of shock and fear reacted like any human would in the same state and ran to the nearest airraid shelter available to stay safe. when morning came and the last american bombers had etiher been shot down or escaped to thier base came the grim task of inspecting the damage done and checking to see if everyone was okay, nobody was hurt physicaly but the fact that an outside military force had broke through the barrier and attacked the residents gensokyo was a sevare blow. american planes that were shot down littered the land scape along with the bomb craters and charred bombed out remains of buildings, the bamboo forest of the lost was redused to blackend wasteland, an american bomber that was shot down crashed into the hakurei shrine and exploded leaveing a mess of twisted metal and splinterd wood everywhere and a american fighter that was downed struck the moriya shrine causeing equal amounts of damage, the human village was annihilated leaveing only charred remains of what were buildings, the forests of magic and youkai where left unthouched, the scarlet devil mansion a luxurious place of splendor and greatness had been redused to a pile of smoking rubble and yet the worst was to come, a month and half later reconstruction had began and progress was high, the wreckage had been cleaned up and most buildings were ethier halfway finished or barely begun, the mansion site was finally cleaned up and the craters filled and work had begun on rebuilding the masion, in the midst of all this everyone was on edge, i had reported that both american and soviet messages indicated plans of invasion, we were ready for them but confidence in stoping them was weak, a roumor had started that american humans had showen that their combined bravery and courage was stronger than the most powerful youkai in exsitance and with the possiblity this being true made many lose hope and fall into a state of dispair, i was desperate to keep spirits up and declaired that we had prove it false the very exsitance of all youkai was at stake and surrender was impossible, it helped and soon started geting requests to sign up so that they would make sure the outside world learn not to mess with gensokyo ever again, on september 13 allied invasion forces stormed inland pushing us slowly back to the banks of the river sanzo, those who didnt sign up had waited till the allies came thinking they would become more powerful if they joined them, for the next 4 months would be the fiercest fighting would take place with gensokyo residents split bettween fighting for the allies or the combined foces of german,japaness humans/zombies and youkai who had already joined, half of the well known residents would not be seen again till after the final battles which was the battle of yuka's field and battle for the forest of magic, december 10th snow had fallen and the allies were falling back towards the boreder, all that stood in the way of final victory was taking yuka's field and the forest beyond, allied artillery had torn up the land making it a frozen muddy swamp slowing our movement, during the final assault on the field we had to over run their position and was looking around when several bullets wizzed past my head and ducked for cover, peaking out our forces trench line i saw a group of american soldiers about a hundred yards away in some foxholes, in one of the foxholes was an yank standing up shouting out taunts at us while the other kept her head down begging for her smart mouthed friend to get down, shortly after the smart mouth did as requested, i saw another two were runing for cover when shell exploded throwing them both through the air, one had her leg blowen off and the other under a hail of gun and morter fire carryed her to safety, i sent a group to capture the 2nd pair of americans which happend to be the closest foxhole to take as they moved in on them the smart mouthed american jumped up wildly spraying gun fire at them as they brought the wounded one and the other back to the trench we were in, i was shocked that the identity of the two prisoners was utsuho reiuji and rin kaenbyou, they had gone missing when the americans first invaded, a short while later while looking through my sniper rifle and saw the same loud mouth only this time she had climbed out and was out in the open throwing grenades at the trench line, one landed in front of me and blew up in my face, aggravated i took aim and fired, one bullet passed through her left leg causing her stagger and her comrade was trying get her back into the foxhole again when i suddenly noticed that the american in the foxhole was a medic and quickly took aim and fired again, the second bullet struck the medics helmet knocking it off forceing her to keep her head down, i thought i had got the medic and returned my attention to the fool standing up in open and fired, the third and final round passed right through the american in the upper right chest cavity and she began to bleed heavily when suddenly the american uniform filckerd and vanished just as the american fell backwards into the foxhole, having no time to question what had just happend i climbed onto a passing tank crossing the field, riding across the field i saw aya running to catch up an helped her abored, our over welming fire power forced the allies to retreat into the forest of magic, as the tank passed the foxholes aya jumped down to take photographs of the foxholes, i jumped down curious about what i had seen and fallowed aya as she took pictures and explaned the events of the past hour satisfied with what had happend, she was stunned that rin and utsohu had been captured in american uniform, she then asked which fox hole was where the other two were i turned and pointed to it and we were surprized to hear a soft sobbing sound coming from it and both ran up to it, aya reached it first i heard her gasp and saw her camra flash and turned around looking me, her face was filled with a mixture of anger and sadness and staped aside, i was horrified at what i saw, alice margetroid was siting in the bottem of the foxhole holding marisa in her arms as shanghai tended to marisa's leg wound, realizing what had happend i turned to face aya and threw up on the frozen ground, the look of disgust on her face changed when she saw my reaction, i stood up and yelled for a medic as a couple of halftracks full of wounded passed, one of them turned and stoped next to the foxhole and as rear doors on it opened was dumbfounded to see eirin in an american medics uniform escorted by four german soldiers, i would later learn she had been spying on the allies for us, ignoring the uniform requested her help, she saw aya and alice carry marisa and put her in the back of the halftrack and then said that there was no need to explane what had happen she understood just from the look on my face, before the halftrack headed to the rear lines i confronted alice and apologised that i had never wished for any thing had happend, she looked at me and seeing my look of regret responded explaning that marisa had joined the americans and that she joined as well just to keep marisa out of trouble, and then climbed into the halftrack, after they had left i turned and went to pick up my rifle from where i droped it determend to end this war, by january we had pushed the allies outside the boreder and had to hold out till the barrier was strong enough to keep them out and when it finally did on the 9th the procces of cleaning and rebuilding gensokyo began, by june reconstruction had finished but everyone was in a bitter mood, we had won yet many were worried about the next time the barrier became weak and what might happen, some seen and experianced things too horrific to describe, some thought it best that it should be forgotten and keine was called upon to do so, she replaced the memorys of everyone as that like the barrier never weakend to the extent of merging with the out side world again, by the time of next summer festival everything was like it was the year before spirits were high and every one had fun, yet everyone questioned why i was in such a depressed mood, the war had ended, the barrier had keeped it from coming in and gensokyo was untouched, i knew better because i had decided to keep my memorys, the war was a part of my life and knew that to prevent it from happening again you had to learn from the past, yet the nightmares of the events of that war still haunt me to this day and some times wished that it had never happened, but as the wise would say "those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" ive taken those words to heart and had {with some help from nitori} a clokeing device installed so that the next time the barrier weakens theyll never find gensokyo again. yet there are still times that i fear another war might be on the way because this time it will be bettween the numorus constant bickering factions of gensokyo. for me i have seen too many things that should have been forgoten, war... heh war never changes and for that matter is worse than hell.

here are some of aya's photographs and some other documents
