History Fanfic / ArmoredGensokyo

The fic can be started [[http://magnumphoenixzx.deviantart.com/art/Armored-Gensokyo-327902698 here]] on Website/{{deviantart}}, or [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8888958/1/Armored-Gensokyo here]] on Fanfiction.net.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Hustler One absolutely refuses to acknowledge the existence of magic within Gensokyo. Partially {{Justified}} by the fact that he comes from a world where magic is non-existent, and to him, "magic" is a very illogical explanation.

* BigEater: Rumia tries to chew on Lana's head before learning she has a HardLight body. {{Justified}} in that Rumia was both hungry and [[ImAHumanitarian enjoys the taste of human flesh.]]

** Parsee also goes ballistic when she thinks Beowulf is trying to take Yuugi from her by seducing Yuugi. Little does she know that Beowulf is pretty much {{Asexual|ity}}.

* NotSoDifferent: Sakuya and Lana pull this on each other (First Sakuya, then Lana) so as to perform a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards one another. Funny enough, it causes them to start... well, like is a strong word, more like not absolutely hate each other.

* {{AI}}: Hustler One and Lana Nielsen. Lana is the more human one, while Hustler One is far more cold and calculating.
* BabiesEverAfter:[[spoiler: According to [[http://fav.me/d5y3ifr one piece of related art]] made by the author, Hustler One and Cirno (as an adult) will construct a child that is a mix of Cirno's magic and Nineball Seraph's technological superiority. It was, at first, a joke based on a VideoGame/{{MUGEN}} character, but WordOfGod has stated it is, in fact, now canon.]]

As the synopsis may have informed you, Armored Gensokyo is a crossover between ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'', ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore'', and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' written by [=DarkShiftRising=] (Better known as the writer of ''Fanfic/TheOmegaChronicles''). Set after the defeat of Nineball Seraph, the fic starts with Hustler One, the AI piloting Nineball Seraph, attempting to stay online after a vicious battle with Leos Klein leaves him barely operational. However, just as he is about to go offline, Yukari Yakumo herself arrives and, after a few words with the damaged AC, sends him to Gensokyo for, as she puts it, "Why, the rest of [his] life, of course!"

* {{Crossover}}: Between ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' and ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore'', with a dash of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''. And it is glorious!

* BadassGay: Lana Nielsen, who is just as capable of kicking ass as everyone else in this setting, and very much appreciates Hong Meiling's figure, as evident by her ogling the dragon youkai the first time they truly meet.

* {{Fangirl}}: Sanae is one for giant robots in general, Nineball Seraph (and it's piloting A.I. Hustler One) included. So much of one that she has a cosplay outfit of Nineball Seraph that she puts on almost immediately after she finds out Nineball is in Gensokyo. [[Spoiler: This also means she's one of the three people to immediately recognize the Neo Granzon. Which she, perhaps rightfully, proceeds to run from while screaming at the top of her lungs.)]]

* {{Fangirl}}: Sanae is one for Hustler One and Nineball Seraph. So much of one that she has a cosplay outfit of Nineball Seraph that she puts on almost immediately after she finds out Nineball is in Gensokyo.

* ImprobablyFemaleCast: It's a crossover fanfic that involves Touhou, what did you expect?
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Satori has this reaction with pain medication instead of alcohol (though that could be arranged as well considering there's an Oni with an infinitely refilling sake dish) upon seeing what Parsee's fight with Beowulf did to her house (specifically the onsen portion)

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: A {{Downplayed}} example. Satori mentions that one thing she dislikes about her Third Eye is that she knows what everyone thinks about her, which causes her to act in such a way as to ensure everyone doesn't think too badly about her. However, thanks to complications that occurred while repairing Beowulfs mind, his mind can't be read. She's actually THANKFUL for this, as it means there's one person she feels comfortable being much more casual around.
* NoJustNoReaction: Reimu as a minor one upon realizing Yukari may actually be dating Shu. Satori agrees.

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Cirno and Hustler One get along quickly. Mostly because he figures out that Cirno's seemingly stupid tactics are, at least when physically possible for Nineball Seraph to pull off, actually very brilliant.

** [[spoiler: Though the "Normal" part is not entirely true, considering she seems to be part dragon.]]

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The story alternates between focusing on Hustler One and Cirno, Beowulf and Yuugi, or (very rarely) Shu and Yukari. Whether this will continue or not once they meet up is unknown at this point.

** [[spoiler: Though it is implied that the "Normal" part may not be entirely true.]]

* {{Crossover}}: Between {{Touhou}} and VideoGame/ArmoredCore, with a dash of VideoGame/SuperRobotWars. And it is glorious!
* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler: The original]] Beowulf is this. [[spoiler: During the monstrous final battle between Shu and Yukari against his still barely alive remains, his mind was completely destroyed, leaving behind an empty, but still very much alive, body. After several hundred years of slumber, and awakening once more in Gensokyo completely insane, his fight with Yuugi resulted in 'destroying' his insanity, leaving him unconscious and allowing Satori to stitch his psyche back together utilizing the remnants of the original, destroyed Beowulf. The result is that Beowulf awakens once more, with a new, non-Einst personality, but with the body and battle experience of the old Beowulf.]]

** [[spoiler: LikeAFishTakesToWater: That said, Lana actually adjusts to Gensokyo pretty quickly, even learning how to utilize Danmaku incredibly quickly.]]

''Armored Gensokyo'' has the following tropes:

** Yukari mentions that Shu has a strong dislike of a [[{{Zeorymer}} "Dr. Kihara"]].

* LamarckWasRight: 9, the future child of Hustler One and Cirno, has both the supreme technology of Nineball Seraph, and Cirno's magical expertise. {{Justified}} because 9 is a robot who was built to work as such.]]

* NoKillLikeOverkill: [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Shu Shirakawa's]] main method of keeping people from discovering his and Yukari's activities? Use the Neo Granzon to destroy the entire area with Black Hole Cluster.
** [[spoiler: Later events, however, shows he generally is a lot more stealthy in his actions. Destroying the arena Nineball was found in was probably done to make sure [[NeverFoundTheBody the lack of a body made some degree of sense.]]]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lana and Sakuya exchange these in chapter 41, mostly regarding their views on humanity. Interestingly, both concede that the other has some good points, and agree to disagree.

* [[spoiler: BabiesEverAfter: According to [[http://fav.me/d5y3ifr one piece of related art]] made by the author, Hustler One and Cirno (as an adult) will construct a child that is a mix of Cirno's magic and Nineball Seraph's technological superiority.

** One of the trashy romance novels Koakuma reads is called [[WebAnimation/RWBY "Ninjas of Love."]]

* AllThereInTheManual: The various pieces of artwork done for this fic by the author sometimes have information on a character, including the benefits they get when they pilot certain mechs and [=ACs=]. The comments section for some of these pieces, as well as several chapters of the fic itself, also give insight into what direction [=DarkShiftRising=] plans to take the series in.

* TheStoic: Beowulf.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Hustler One absolutely refuses to acknowledge the existence of magic within Gensokyo. Partially {{Justified}} by the fact that he comes from a world where magic is non-existent, and to him "magic" is a very illogical explanation.

* PapaWolf: WordOfGod states that Shu Shirakawa of all people would be this should he have a child[[spoiler: (which he will, also according to WordOfGod.)]] Kidnapping his [[spoiler: not so]] theoretical child would be a quick way to get him to hunt you down and wipe you off the face of Gensokyo.
