Having a grudge against Hou Yi for killing her son, Junko decided to seek vengeance upon Hou Yi and Chang'e. She plotted the invasion to the Moon in order to get revenge on her.

Over half a year the Lunarians took no action against her, causing a stagnation in Junko's plan and a steady appease of her anger, growing bored every time.
