A/N: Last time, on yin yang orb Z, our heros collected all seven yin yang orbs, and... Wait, what? Anyways, I improved chapter 50, so go back and re-read that, if you wish. On with the show!
Midnight, Dream world of flesh and blood:
One after another, hundreds of much thinner twilight lasers were raining down upon me. I weaved in and out of the deadly beams way, while making my way to the spirit who was making them. Cirno to my left, a pair of ice swords at the ready. She knew that a shield would be useless at this point, so why not gain the upper hand in melee?
"That... That the best you got?" I had to hand it to Cirno, she was quite brave, to be joining in one the fight, while still being able to joke. Most fairies would have turned tail and run by now, but Cirno would support Usagi's body to the very end. I wonder what it was that made her so dead set on helping? Not that Cirno had ever shown much, in the aspect of cowardice, but this was going above and beyond all expectations I had of her. Her lack of a shield told me that she understood a fatal mistake that she wasn't about to make... Just how stupid could one be if they recognised the power of a laser by heat alone?
"Come, my little lovelies. Come, and meet your doom!" Mima looked like she was honestly enjoying herself, a grin plastered on her face. The reason behind that was beyond me, but I couldn't say that this didn't bring me back to old times.
"Our doom? There will be no doom today, mima. No, I won't allow you to visit doom upon us, or anyone else!" I grinned just as Mima had been. If I were to make her see reason, I would have to at the very least reach her.
I began to charge an ice spark, but Mima was way ahead of me, and her grin simply widened.
"Twilight spark." Cirno and I pushed off of eachother, and flew to either side of the enormous jet black laser. This heat made me feel horrible, as though I would melt. ...In fact, I just might, being an Ice fairy.
Cirno had been watching just how I had done that spark of mine, and began to imitated the way I gathered energy for it. This would be quite the surprise, as Mima had once more not registered Cirno as a threat, and once more would regret doing that. Being a six wing fairy, she could pump out a great deal more power than the one I inhabited, who was only a four winged fairy. As such, she could produce a far stronger attack than I could, atleast for the time being. Now, once I was back in my own body, I would once more be stronger.
"Minus K Spark!" ...What? What does that even mean...? Mima looked at the unexpected source of a spark, but was too late to react. Not only did she once more freeze solid, a hole was burned through her. ...How does cold burn a hole though you?
The spark was actually not aimed at Mima, but through Mima. Had Mima dodged it, she still would have hit her target. Behind Mima was the giant beating heart, and Cirno had wondered just what would happen if one attacks such a vital organ. As the impossibly cold beam struck the heart, it began to spasm, and crystalize. It gave one final beat before it stopped entirely. Did Cirno just ...kill the room?
Slowly the entire room began to crystalize, turning to ice. Cirno had just made the room her own, even if it wasn't much better than before. Before we knew it, the chunk of ice that contained Mima had begun to shake, and before long, it exploded with black energy.
"You... How dare you...!" Mima was quite livid now, not only had her stolen realm of dreams been stolen, it was by a fairy! How? How could she have stolen it, just like that?
"Well, well, well. It looks like we just might be on even ground after all! Good job, Cirno. Without access to the realm of dreams, her endless power supply has been cut off. Now, Mima, care to have a little... chat?" Mima grimaced, not wanting to be defeated, and doubly so by a pair of fairies. Even if they one was the strongest fairy, and the other being controled by one of Gensokyo's strongest, period.
"Never... I'll never give up! You... You think a couple of fairies can beat one such as myself?" At Mima's answer, I simply smiled. Before? No, I thought we stood no chance. Now? We just might be able to win this fight.
"Don't underestimate the strongest!" That self inflicted title of hers just might be slightly truer now.
"Ohh, but I won't, not this time, child." Mima now had an air of power about her, like never before. If her plan was to fail, she wasn't about to go down without blood being spilled.
A sudden snapping of fingers broke the tense feeling that was filling the room. I looked up to see... Ohh great, I was right after all on why Mima would do this. When I looked back to Mima, she no longer looked angry, just confused as could be.
"My, my, my... You sure are cute like that, little Yuuka." A familliar face looked down from a hole in the ceiling of ice, handing upside down, with hair that defys gravity by not hanging downwards.
"What did you do this time, Yukari...?" I had deduced that someone had to have influanced Mima, by this point, before I was rudely interupted. Magic didn't seem to be the culprit, and I doubt that Eirin's shady drugs would work on an evil spirit. The only options left were a Moriya shrine conspiracy, and Yukari fooling around yet again. Thus far, I have yet to discredit either of the final theories, but it's leaning towards Yukari.
"What? I'm hurt, why would I do any th-" I wasn't playing this game.
"What. did. you. do." Yukari pouted at the interuption, having wanted to tease me further.
"Nothing much, I only switched some borders here and there, you know... Good and Evil, for one." Yukari, the true culprit behind this, began to grin. But why would she do such a thing? This was going a bit far, even for her!
"And, before you ask why, I'm not going to tell you. But belive me, I had my reasons." Yukari dropped the joking tone, and flipped her fan open to hide a smile.
"You! Weird lady that likes to wrestle with the Red-white! " Yukari's eyes widened at what Cirno must have seen. She had thought that nobody was around, but it would seem she had an audiance.
"Ohh? Do tell, Cirno!" Yuuka began to grin sadistically. If Yukari was going to keep her secret, she was going to atleast pay for it, by having her exploits recounted. The color had drained from Yukari's face at this point.
