A/N: Okay, a lot to cover here, but it's important so pay attention. Most of it deals with Touhou more then it deals with Warhammer, but still.

First: I'm relatively new to Touhou. I'm still not knowledgeable, particularly when it comes too spellcard specifics (luckily, I have the Touhou wiki for that). Thankfully, the fact that the game background is 80% fanon gives me a lot of flexibility. Still, I know that there's canon. Unfortunately due to a lack of time, patience, and reflexes I am unable to access the vast majority of it. If there is a minor screw-up in relation to the plot, point it out and I'll consider fixing it. If it's a major screw-up in relation to the plot, then Tzeentch did it. Or it takes place in a alternate Touhou setting where everybody isn't as absurdly overpowered vs other settings as in Canon, I don't know, but please try and go along with it. Alternatively, you could not read this story... the back button is right there, in the upper-left corner (I presume, I don't know what browser your using).

Second: to keep the character count down and my sanity points high, I reserve the right to cut people. I don't know exactly who and what that will be, although everybody from the PC-98 era ('cept for the obvious trio) is definitely gone.

Third: Glass Cannon interpretation of Touhou characters (with obvious exceptions) ahoy.

Note: Brackets indicate the characters are speaking a language that is not Japanese.

I have a glossary of terms for the uninformed at the bottom.

Disclaimer: Warhammer belongs to Game Workshop. Touhou Project belongs to ZUN. Have a nice story.

Intrusion of the Dark Stars

Chapter 1: Storm Warning

The land of Gensokyo.

A spiritual land, a hidden land, separated from the larger world for its own good.

A place of magic, of the impossible, where the mythical exist alongside the mundane.

And a place of danger for those unprepared to face it.

Amidst the Youkai, Shinto gods, and vampires, to name a few, who inhabit the land, one finds the clusters of ordinary humanity. Bastions of certain security in an otherwise unsecure world, settlements built to support agriculture, provide shelter for travelers, or act as trading outposts dot the land. The largest of these is the unimaginatively titled 'Human Village', named so because it is unquestionably the largest human settlement in Gensokyo. Its central location and proximity to a number of landmarks, first and foremost the Hakurei Shrine, made it the number one trading spot in all the land.

It was another bustling, and hot, summer day. Asata Matsumoto, gloriously dressed in torn rags and covered in a coating of bloody gashes, came screaming down the path into the village. Understandably, he drew shocked and surprised (but mostly shocked) looks from everybody he passed by, all the while moving at a rather incredible speed for an otherwise ordinary human and never seemed to stop to draw breath. The few people who tried to stop him simply found themselves outrun.

Asata made a beeline for the home, and school, of Keine Kamishirasawa, the de-facto village mayor. One might ask how she wound-up in such a position and, to be frank, Keine would like to know herself. Though she would deny it, the position had come about naturally as a result of her previous title as the 'Village Guardian'. But in the end, she heard Asata approaching only a few seconds before he began smashing his fist against the door like a man possessed. The irony of that metaphor would only be discovered later.

Angry that her classes were being interrupted, Kiene was still shocked speechless when she opened the door to find a bloody and torn human being standing at the entrance. The moment the door had finished sliding all the way across Asata stopped shrieking incoherently and screamed: "THEY ARE ALL DEAD!"

And only then did he collapse.

For a land as backwards (technologically speaking) on average as Gensokyo, word could still spread with an absolutely astonishing speed. Magic helped, as did Youkai and particularly powerful humans who could literally fly. Within an hour the news that a man from an outlying village had collapsed at the feet of the Human Village Guardian/Schoolteacher after running and screaming bloody murder through the town had reached the ears of Aya Shameimaru. Aya, a reporter Tengu over a thousand years old, knew a news story when she heard one.

The first location she went to, naturally, was the Human Village itself. Keine had been expecting it; the Guardian knew Aya far too well, and was thus waiting to inform Aya that the man was still passed out, and they didn't know when he would wake-up, and oh hey here is the location of the village he lived in, please drop by and tell us what happened on the way back. Having living relatives of the Matsutsumoto family in the Human Village had proven useful for that last tidbit.

And so Aya eagerly went on her way, only to become slightly (but only slightly) less eager when she arrived at the farming village.

The first, and most obvious, sign that something was dreadfully wrong was the still smoldering buildings. Except for a single house and a tool shed in the dead center of the locale, all the structures had been burned to the ground. Most disturbing were the rice fields… the water in them was no longer water at all. Aya gagged as she landed, never shirking in writing down every detail while doing so. The blood was human blood… but it smelled wrong.

A slight rustling sound from a cluster of bushes, only a few meters behind her, made the Tengu pause. Her acute sense of hearing honed in on the sound and compared the immense quantity of noises she had heard over the years. A slight smile crept over the reporter's face… of course she would be here.

"Alright Reimu… I can hear you." Aya called over her shoulder.

Sighing, the Hakurei Shrine Priestess stepped out of the copse. "Hmph, I figured you would show up. Hoped I would be able to get the drop on you this time around."

Aya shrugged, "Turnabout is fair play, I suppose, but you should know better." The Tengu glanced across the desolate sight of a village destroyed. "So, do you have any idea about what happened?"

"Got here only a minute before you did, I'm afraid." Reimu walked past Aya and kneeled down to inspect the blood. "I noticed you gag earlier…"

"The blood smells wrong."

"You mean it isn't human blood?"

"No, its human blood it just…" Aya pinched her nose, "Smells nasty… no." The reporter stopped pinching her nose and placed her finger against her chin in thought. "Not nasty… I can't think of a word for it."

"Sounds strange." Reimu said casually, cautiously dipping her finger into the blood, inspecting it, and then wiping the digit clean on a leaf.

Aya tried a different tact, "Is your intuition telling you anything?"

Reimu closed her eyes and sighed, "No."

"Really?" Aya blinked in surprise, Reimu had a sort of sixth sense when it came to this sort of thing and for it to fail now… "But this is Incident material if I ever saw some, with a capital [I] in the new language."

"You would know about that wouldn't you?" Reimu couldn't resist the dig at Aya's propensity to start incidents solely to report on them. "But yeah, it's really bugging me. And there's something off about this area too…"

"You mean-"

"Besides the obvious yes. But I can't place my finger on it."

Aya realized that Reimu was right, there was something weird that neither girl could pin down. Wordlessely, the two began to walk towards the still standing house.

"Think the local Youkai did this?" Aya asked.

"Maybe not local…" Reimu replied, "The only ones around are Fairies after all and I heard this village at least had some half-way decent magicians."

"It did dear…"

That voice had not belonged to Aya, who was surprised that she had been snuck-up on, but Reimu still knew it all too well.

"Great." Reimu asked, turning around to face the oh-so-familiar red eyed, blonde-haired woman who had seemingly appeared out of thin air, although both Aya and Reimu knew better: they simply hadn't seen the boundary the Youkai had used. She was smiling at Reimu with that vague sense of amusement that always bugged the Shrine Priestess

Reimu continued, "Why are you here? I doubt you had anything to do with this."

"Oh, you're quite correct but I was curious and…" The sense of amusement vanished, "I think this has something to do with… well, I'm not quite sure what happened, but it has to do with the border."Instantly the Priestess and the Tengu were paying attention. Yukari Yakumo was the most powerful being in Gensokyo and had an intimate relation with the Border that divided the fantasy land from the outside world. After all, she had created it.

"Wait… wait…" Aya pondered, "What do you mean you're not sure. If it has to do with the Border wouldn't you know for certain?"

"You would think that, but apparently whatever happened was extremely temporary and the disturbance vanished the instant after I noticed it." Yukari sighed and leaned back on the sun umbrella she always carried around. "It felt like something big had passed through, or a lot of something's all at once, but it also felt more like more than that."

"More than that how?" Aya's eyes lit up, "Wait… lots of somethings? Maybe we're being invaded!"

"I don't know and unlikely." Yukari's tone was flat, "Though this village does make me wonder."

Reimu gave a bored grunt and turned to continue on towards the house, the two non-humans following. Aya put away her notepad in favor of snapping some pictures, the first shot was of the destroyed houses and then another of the blood-filled fields.

"So, a single house and a tool shed left standing." Reimu said sarcastically, deciding to inspect the latter and moving up to the New Style swinging door. "Makes just as much sense as anything else to me." More seriously now, "Maybe we can find a local fairy smart enough to describe what happened."

"Where are the local fairies anyways?" Yukari asked.

"Your smarter than that their…" Aya trailed off and exchanged a look with Reimu. She had been about to say that the fairies wouldn't come here because of the human population. But, obviously, there was no more human population and Fairies are a curious lot (too curious for their own good the semi-informed would say), which would trump any revulsion at the stench from the strange smelling blood. By all rights there should be at least a handful wandering around by now.

Reimu wordlessly opened the tool shed door… and what must have been several hundred fairies fell out.

Or more accurately, the skinned and decaying body parts of several hundred fairies. Reimu leapt back as the overwhelming smell of decaying flesh hit her. "That isn't right!"

She meant that in more ways than one. When a fairy suffers a fatal blow, like say being chopped up, it was just supposed to vanish in a spray of silver lights and later reincarnate a short distance away from where it was killed. It certainly was notsupposed to stick around as a cadaver.

"Well we know what happened to the local fairy population." Yukari added as Aya reflexively snapped a photo.

"And you don't?" Reimu snapped, with a little concern.

Yukari's upbeat tone didn't falter, "Not the slightest." Then more seriously: "But yes, that is disturbing and it does concern me."

"So long as we're clear on that." Reimu sighing, covered her nose as the smell of the fairy corpses wafted over to her current position. "Let's just… check the house and then go see if that Asata guy is awake yet. He's our only witness so we should definitely talk to him."

Aya sighed, "And here I was hoping for an exclusive." Despite the neutral tone, her face did look slightly disturbed. Only after Yukari and she had turned did Reimu permit herself to shiver.

The entrance to the house past the sliding door seemed straightforward enough: it was abundantly clear that whoever or whatever had come through here had ransacked the interior. Furniture was overturned or broken, pictures and tapestry shattered or torn. The oddest part was the wildly different paint that had been splashed seemingly at random on the walls and ceiling. Aya snapped a picture and continued on, but Reimu and Yukari took a second, and harder, look.

It was Yukari, with her sharper senses that noticed it first: the otherwise ordinary paint was still subtlety shifting despite being blatantly dry. The colors slowly and near-imperceptibly brightened and faded, small shapes flowed in and out of focus within the paint, shapes that made the pair's vision blurry. And to boot, the two-dimensional coverings seemed to take on a depth at will. But that was impossible, right?

Both Yukari and Reimu stepped back and rubbed their eyes as the sight gave rapidly gave them a headache. For Yukari this was even more disconcerting then Reimu, she wasn't supposed to suffer from headaches. Whatever unease she felt, though, she kept otherwise hidden.

"You notice it?" Reimu asked, now staring at the floor.

Yukari simply nodded and turned towards the doorway Aya had disappeared through. Not a moment later, the Tengu reappeared, looking noticeably paler and clutching her camera so hard Reimu thought it might break. "Aya, what's wrong?"

Without answering, indeed without another sound or glance, the reporter rapidly walked past them, onto the deck, and took off into the sky. Reimu and Yukari watched her go in confusion, and then turned back to the room the crow had walked out of.

"You first."

Yukari hid her unease with a playful smile and skillfully rebuked Reimu's request as if she was playing a game. "Please, the younger should get the first chance to experience something new."

"So you know what scared Aya?" Reimu asked.

"No, but I hardly see the need to expose myself to danger." To be honest, Yukari didn't really want Reimu to go alone either, she had grown… fond of the shrine maiden in their association. And teasing her was so much more fun than teasing Ran!

"Likewise, and we all know who could handle whatever is in there better."

"I thought you defeated me that time."

"That was a fluke."

"I appreciate the admission."

Reimu's eyebrow twitched. "Look, let's just go in there together at the same time."

Yukari grinned, that was the suggestion she had been waiting for. "Alright."

They did. And what they found on the other side made them stop in their tracks. Plastered on the wall was a wobbling mass of human flesh, fused together yet every individual in the mess could still be perfectly identified. Their faces were the clearest and each one was blatantly plastered with an expression of sheer, unbridled terror. The bulging eyes and opened mouths fixed in a frozen stare of clear frightened madness. The human cluster blot was within a circle of bones, some with bits of flesh still stuck, with eight bones added as 'points' splitting away.

"What-" Yukari managed before Reimu doubled over and vomited. The shrine maiden emptied her stomach contents on the floor then looked at the atrocity and proceeded to throw-up again.

Yukari merely stared wide-eyed, her demeanor lost. She had seen plenty of horrendous scenes before. Being well over… well, she didn't know how old she was anymore, but being obscenely old, one saw a lot of bad things. She had never, though, encountered such a scene.

Subconsciously, she noticed the flesh had not started decaying and the room smelled oddly clean. There was something distinctly different in the air, but it was not something she could pin down. Instead, she shook herself out of her funk and turned to Reimu.

"C-come on." The Youkai said, taking the shrine maiden and guiding her out, making sure not to let her look at the mass again. "This definitely isn't pleasant."

"Oh gods…" Reimu muttered, still sounding a little weak, "I need some water. No, scratch that, I need some sake. Never thought I'd hope Suika is around when I get back to the Shrine."

"Well, have some water for now." Yukari opened up a portal, pulled out a cup with one hand and a jug with the other, and began pouring out the water.

"What… what was that?" Reimu sat down on the porch and shuddered, "I mean… does that mean something? Was there a point to it?"

"I don't know." Yukari replied, handing the cup over.

"You've been saying that an awful lot today. I don't think I like it."

"I don't either, now drink."

"Alright." The Priestess took a sip. There was silence for a long while after that, the Youkai and the Shrine Maiden sat there. Finally, with a sigh, Reimu got back to her feet.

"I should go back to the village, tell them what happened if Aya didn't and see if the boys awake."

"Okay," Yukari glanced at the dead fairies, "I'll investigate a little more and have Ran clean up. This place is an eyesore like this."

"You're so lazy."

"And loving every second of it."

"That's all kinds of messed up."

"I know." Reimu said. She had gone back to the village only to find that Asata Matsumoto had not woken up yet. After recounting the details too Keine, who seemed very disturbed at the news, she had gone back to the Shrine that she also called home to find someone there. Unfortunately, it wasn't Suika, but it was someone she could get smashed with just as readily.

She had just finished recounting (again) the day's events to her old friend Marisa Kirisame on the porch of the Hakurei Shrine. The (human) magician had probably been about to pilfer the Shrine's alcohol stocks anyway and Reimu was desperately in the need for some drink. By now it was late evening, the perfect time to get utterly wasted no matter where you were.

Hammering back another shot, Reimu continued, "And the worst part was I could pick out the individual persons. There were like thirty of them, men, woman, and even a few kids, all with that same expression… I mean, gods, what happened to them?"

Marisa narrowed her eyebrows in thought, "Wasn't the village supposed to have a couple of hundred villagers?"

"Yeah, there was no sign of the rest of them." Reimu poured herself another shot, "And not the slightest clue as to who did it. Fairies aren't supposed to die like that, water is not supposed to turn to blood like that, paint isn't supposed to act like that, humans aren't..." She shuddered instead of finishing the sentence.

"There has never been anything like this with previous incidents." Marisa nodded out towards the setting sun, "Even Yuuka wasn't mad enough to go and slaughter a whole village. I mean, this sounds more like something the Hell Crow would have done back during the Geyser Incident."

"Well, I know Okuu hasn't relapsed like that and nothing about area indicated her signature."

"Eh." Marisa grabbed the bottle Reimu was reaching for again and took a direct swig from it, much to the latter's inebriated annoyance. "I wish you had gotten a sample of the paint. Would've liked to take a look at what made it do that."

"I wouldn't want that close a look, it gave me a bad enough headache as was. Now quit hogging the bottle."

The witch shrugged and handed the Sake over without a fuss. "What about that Assassa guy?"

"Asata. Still unconscious. They had Eirin stop by, she says the guy looks fine."

"Eirin does house calls?"

"Under special circumstances."

"[Cool beans.]" At that odd proclamation, Marisa leapt to her feet with a jingle and grabbed her broom, "Well, this is fun and all but I gotta go, I don't want to get so drunk I can't fly."

"Ah… okay." Reimu downed one last shot, then stood up. "Have a good…" She blinked a few times as she recalled something. "MARISA."

"Eh?" The magician gave the most innocent look she could give, which anybody who knew her knew meant nothing.

"Give me the coins."

"What coins?"

"The ones in your pocket." Reimu was now glaring.

"I don't have any coins in my pocket."

"I heard the jingle when you stood up."

"That was a watch."

"Sure it is, look do I have to bash your head in?" The Shrine Maiden took a threatening step forward, a fist raised, "You already agreed not to touch my donation box, and you know how rare it is I get donations."

"Alright, alright fine." Marisa dug out the coins and tossed them over. "It's only six-hundred yen, plus the strange one."

Reimu deftly caught the precious items, "I need every bit for food and festival."

"Yeah, whatever. See-ya."

"See you."

As Marisa took off for home, Reimu sighed and took the coins in, taking out the box which she kept donations in. At that moment, something Marisa had said struck her.

"Plus the strange one?" She said to nobody. Rapidly, Reimu located the coin in question. On the one side of the coin, which was made out of a rare metal she couldn't identify, was engraved a strange double headed eagle. She turned it over to find the other side had been defaced and then recarved with… She dropped the coin as she saw the strange circle, the same one that had been fashioned out of bones around the mass of melted human bodies earlier in the day.

In spite of the alcohol, the Shrine Maiden had a hard time falling asleep that night.

"Hey, Reimu…"

"Nyarghrl."

"Geeze, you went drinking last night and didn't get me? I'm disappointed."

"Argh, my head." Reimu cracked her eyes open, saw the familiar shape standing over her, then squeezed them closed as the light sent another spike of pain into her hangover. "Suika, could you please get me some water?"

"Sure, sure." The Oni darted out of the room to fulfill the request, returning in moments to find that Reimu had sat up and was gripping her head as sunlight streamed through the window. The Priestess eagerly accepted the water.
"That's better," Reimu sighed out after she downed the cup. "Not perfect, but better. Just need some eggs and a little time."

"Yeah, well. I got a copy of the Bunbunmaru Newspaper," Suika flipped the paper down onto Reimu's lap. "Front page is the Village Incident."

"Hmm." Reimu picked up the paper and gave the article a brief scan, and then frowned. "Not her usual style, Aya must have really been shaken up."

"Eh?"

"Never mind." Reimu was not interested in divulging the events of the previous day a third time as she gave the paper a more thorough go over. Oddly, Aya had left out the blob of humans, although she apparently learned about the paint in the interim. She appeared not to have taken a picture of the torment either. The reporter must have been even more shaken then Reimu thought.

Raising her gaze to Suika who had taken to rummaging through the bed room closet, Reimu asked: "Are you going to be here the entire day?"

The Oni paused and gave a good natured laugh. "Well not the entire day."

Reimu's eyebrow twitched, she stood up, walked over, and grabbed Suika by one of her horns. "If you're going to stick around without me, you're going to stick around OUTSIDE."

"Agh! Hey!" Suika cried, "What do you mean 'without me'?"

"I mean I have to see if the witness has woken up yet." Reimu said as she dragged Suika onto the porch, "So that means I have to go into town. And like hell I'm gonna let you wander inside when I'm not here."

"Ah fine." Suika said as she was released, "Your place after all."

"Rarely feels like it."

Reimu had actually woken up rather late in the day, as the Human Village had already been at it for several hours. There was the usual bustle, but there was also a difference about it. The news of the slaughtered village had created a kind-of tension in the air, that the Bunbunmaru story was an oddly flat, clipped, and straightforward account of the scene of the crime only added to the villager's collective unease.

They were reassured that the usual Incident Fixers and the Village Guardian would be able to take care of any problems, or at least that's what everyone silently told themselves, and that everything would be good after the culprit had been defeated. The aforementioned Village Guardian, however, had gone to check up on her guest to find that he had finally awoken.

Asata Matsumoto had looked like an oddly unassuming fellow while asleep, in contrast with the wild-eyed panic as he had raced through the town the day before. Now he had the air of someone who seemed eternally uncomfortable, constantly shifting into a new position on his bed with his eyes darting here and there. He glanced up as Keine came in.

"You're… you're the Village Guardian."

"Yes." Keine said, putting on the mature air she usually did when in public (and not at the school). "We… investigated what happened at the village."

"Y-yeah." Asata said, "Did… did you find anything?"

"Nothing that could tell us anything." Keine admitted, "I was hoping you could shed some light on the story… if that is okay."

"I-it was horrible." The man squeezed his eyes shut, a small trickle of sweat appearing on his forehead as he took a breath.

"Are you sure your okay to talk about it?"

"Y-yes. One moment, please." Asata took another breath then continued. "They came out of nowhere, simple as that. One moment we were tending to our daily chores, the next they were storming out of the tree's from all directions, shouting and shooting these… these light weapons."

"Who were 'they'?"

"I don't know, they… seemed human enough. But they wore this strange armor a-and these masks… and their skin was so scared." Asata visibly shuddered, "A few villagers tried to fight, including our magicians. They took one or two of the attackers out… but then were… blasted to shreds. I saw their bodies get dumped in the rice paddies. They came from all directions, there was no escape!"

Sounded straightforward enough, except… "How did you get away?"

Asata blinked, then looked up at Keine as if the question came out of nowhere, "I-I… can't remember… wait. No." His eyes widened as a memory came back to him, "I was captured too… they marched most of the population out of the village and took me and a few dozen others into the house. They herded us into one side of a room and then… then this great armo-"

Asata froze mid-word, his mouth closed then opened, then closed again. It took Keine a moment too notice that the man was shaking… shaking badly. A trickle of blood began to run down his nose… then things got weird.

Asata recoiled away from Keine, slamming his back against the wall. Keine reached forward in alarm, but then jumped back herself as the temperature around the man began to drop, frost rapidly crystallizing on the wall to either side of the man. Asata himself had begun to speak again, the words strung near incomprehensibly together.

"WHAT WERE THEY CHANTING? WHAT DID IT MEAN? WHY DID IT ALL FREEZE? WHY DID THEY MELT? LAUGHTER! LAUGHTER! SLAUGHTER AND LAUGHTER AND DARKNESS OF A FUTURE AND IT THIRSTS AND THIRSTS AND WHY DOES IT ALL THIRST! AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHH!"

The air around Asata visibly twisted like as if it had suddenly decided to act like running water and begin sloshing around. The man's pupils shrank until they were just a black pinprick amidst a sea of white, blood spewed from his mouth and nose and finger nails. Keine instinctively reached for her spellbook, sensing the sudden danger. Asata's body seemed to warp into an impossible shape for the briefest of a moment before switching back with a loud CRACK!

For a moment all was still, Keine view was momentarily transfixed by the horror before her. And finally Asata spoke in a voice not quite his own and in a language Keine had never heard but somehow found herself understanding.

"THE DARKNESS… HAS AWAKENED!"

And then the world seemed to explode.

Fin (for now)

Glossary of This FIcs Canon (AKA: 'GOT-FIC'): In order of appearance.

Youkai: Generic term for the majority of mystical-based non-human creatures that inhabit Gensokyo, which includes the spirits (ghosts) of dead humans. Youkai have intelligence ranging from cat-like too fully human(ish). All are generally carnivores and capable of being man-eaters, although only the non-sentient usually prey upon humans now-a-days. The vast majority of Youkai live either solitary existences or in small groups, only going into human settlements for rather specific reasons and rather large congregations are usually temporary.

Fairy: A species of Youkai which is also generally the weakest and the most simple-minded (dumbest is not an entirely accurate descriptor). They tend to be curious, with the smartest of them often being mischievous enough to pull pranks. They tend to avoid overly-attentive humans, because they are too difficult to prank.

Tengu:A species of Youkai noted for a penchant of gossip and politics. Unusually for Youkai, they are quite organized and form rather larger societies like humans, with nearly all within Gensokyo of them are found around the Youkai Mountains to the east of the Human Village. In Japanese mythology, they are analogous to the Western idea of Goblins.

New Language: (Fanon, Adapted) Basically English, which is a secondary language that has rapidly gained popularity in Gensokyo despite being sealed from the outside world. Yukari is probably too blame. The Old Language (Japanese) is still the primary tongue spoken and is unlikely to be replaced.

Magician: This term has duel meaning. One refers to a human who has taken up the specific job of utilizing magic. The alternative meaning is a species of Youkai who have either been born as Magicians or were human and became magicians through one of a handful of processes.

Oni: A species of Youkai that have a great love of drinking, competition, and general partying. They also possess tremendous physical strength and are quite a boisterous bunch, albeit rather good natured. In Japanese mythology they are analogous to the Western idea of Ogres.

Final Notes: Not a lot of blatant 40K, eh? It will actually be quite a while until they really start to creep in. Three, maybe four chapters, but there is going to be a major shift before they show.

EDIT: Chapter 2 is progressing, but slowly. In the meantime, I have gone back over this and filled in some missing pieces and stuff that the site up-loader apparently hates. Had to change around some stuff too because the FFN documentation is apparently a stubborn ass.
