AN: I do not own Touhou Project, it belongs to Team Shanghai Alice, aka ZUN.
At last the moment I've been waiting for THE IMMATERIAL AND MISSING POWER ARC! I know not a lot of people have played the fighting games, let alone know they exisit, but IaMP was my first Touhou game, and it only got better from there, so to say that I don't want to screw this up is an understatement. And as for our guest star fighter… she'll be showing up very soon, after all, where there is death, the Sanzu needs it's ferry woman.
Potentia Immaterialia et Absentis
(Immaterial and Missing Power)
(Stage 1!)
(Stage Start!)
It had only been a few months after the Missing Spring incident and it had been the fifth feast in fifteen days at the Hakurei Shrine. To say some people were suspicious was an understatement, but everyone had their own way of going about it. Vaati and Cirno had decided to look into it by checking out the strange mist by the Misty Lake. Marisa and Alice had gone separate ways to try and find an answer, Reimu and Sakuya were acting strange, and Meiling and Patchouli had teamed up to find the answers themselves.
But they were far from the only ones searching. Youmu had decided to search around as well, and Remilia had gone out of her way to try and find the answers herself. Yuyuko was just being plain annoying, and a rumor had said that Yukari was in on what was happening. Or at least, that was what Komachi Onozuka had gathered about the major incident resolvers and causers.
The shimigami, and ferry woman of the Sanzu, had decided to get out and about for a bit, better then sitting in her boat all day waiting for someone to die. But since when did everyone have parties every three days? Clearly she wasn't the only one thinking that, if the people out and about were anything to go by.
Omega E The Reader: Komachi DOESN'T show up in IaMP! Like why would she even show up in this story?! She first shows up in PoFV!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: I know, right? And considering her occupation, she has better things to do.
WildMath55: Besides, her current reputation is actually because she works at her own pace instead of being outright lazy. Distance manipulation, remember?

Now to find out just who to 'press' for information, be more fun then sitting in her boat all day, that's for sure.
Vaati stood on the hill overlooking the Misty Lake, it had become routine for him and Cirno, to just spend some time up here admiring the lake. But they weren't here admiring the sights. He was observing the heavy mist that had formed over the lake, and it hadn't gone away in the past fifteen days.
"I don't get it? What's so important about this?" Cirno asked, not understanding why the mist seemed to be so important. "Cirno, the mist is just hanging here… like it's waiting for something. Don't you notice that it's been here for two weeks whenever we leave for one of the parties." Vaati said to Cirno, coughing a little bit as Cirno stated thinking.
"Actually I was thinking about why we keep going to the parties… we never get invited, so why do we just go?" Cirno asked. Now Vaati himself had more questions… he hadn't realized that… times of just being expected to go someone like the mansion must have dulled him a bit.
"You know… I didn't notice that. Good mind Cirno." Vaati said, rubbing Cirno's hair as she giggled. Vaati had recently changed his outfit again, despite it being summer he was still wearing the robe from winter, as well as a white long sleeved shirt under it and the pair of grey sweatpants, he had however taken off his hat, and changed it out for one he had found in his drawer. A simple pure black fedora, he had no idea why it was there but he liked it.
Cirno however had also gone through a few changes, her wings had gotten slightly larger, still floating off her back as six icicles. She had however found a pair of black gloves in Vaati's drawer that fit her hands, and used them as a way to get a better grip on her sword when she froze it.
As the two of them observed the lake they saw someone flying over it. Meiling had left the mansion as Patchouli had started investigating through her books, so Meiling was the errand girl. Landing nearby Vaati and Cirno she walked up to the duo.
Omega E The Reader: Meiling NEVER shows up in IaMP.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: In fact, she was a deleted character. And her moveset is a JOKE in that game!
WildMath55: Not exactly deleted, but she's there because of Twilight Frontier basically 'write a freaking fanfiction by including her'. And that is even referenced in Hisoutensoku! Heck, Patchouli basically tells Meiling that she missed Tenshi's incident (SWR) by saying earthquakes are getting old.
Sin Count: 302
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Oh, and since Cirno wasn't even a deleted character...
WildMath55: She isn't even there to begin with, so yeah...

"How's it going you two? Investigating doing well?" Meiling asked, not bothering to look at the duo as she looked out over the lake with them. "So far all we've got is this mist that hasn't left and the fact that no invitations are being sent out for these parties, everyone just seems to go to them." Vaati coughed out.
The trio stood there in silence for a moment before Meiling opened her mouth. "It's been a while since you two have come over, mind a spar?" Meiling asked, Cirno smirking at what she had asked. "Why just a spar?"
BGM: [Touhou]-Meiling's Theme: Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17 ~Remix
Vaati stood atop the hill, this time sighing and shaking his head as down by the shore Cirno and Meiling stood across from each other, both of them in position to fight. Cirno with her sword frozen, a bandage wrapped around the sword having been used to repair the broken blade as she flash froze it into her large blade. Meiling hitting her fist into her palm before getting back into positon.
"Round One! ENGAGE!" Vaati yelled, coughing afterwards as Cirno and Meiling shot at each other. Cirno swung her sword at Meiling, the martial artist gate keeper jumping and landing on the blade with one foot, giving a quick jab kick to Cirno's head before jumping off the blade as Cirno reeled, sliding under the giant blade and hitting it dead center, sending the blade flying… towards Vaati.
Vaati yelped as he dropped to the dirt, the blade of ice flying over his head as he lay there for a moment, before getting up and glaring at the two fighters. Not that either of them noticed his glare from their fight.
Cirno had quickly formed a new sword and swung down at Meiling, the martial artist rolling out of the way and jumping back up, and over Cirno, slamming her foot into her back. Cirno was sent flying into a nearby tree, her blade ending up embedded into the tree next to her.
The ice fairy recovered quickly, pulling herself out of the tree and spitting out a few bits of wood, grabbing her ice sword and forming a new one, dashing at Meiling as she stood ready to counter. Cirno thrust her swords forward as Meiling grabbed one of them.
The hand Meiling had used to grab the sword froze, Cirno having baited her counter to weaken her, now down a hand Cirno dropped one of her swords, using the other to hit Meiling to send her flying.
Flying after the martial artist while she was dazed Cirno slammed her sword into Meiling again, sending her flying back down at high speeds. Meiling recovered midair and formed a ball of Ki in her hand, Cirno flying at her as she threw it.
Cirno brought her sword down in a slash, slicing the ball in two as it past her, the halves exploding into brilliant blue light as Cirno sped at Meiling, the martial artist now on the defensive as she grabbed power in her unfrozen hand. As Cirno reached Meiling she slashed downwards, Meiling using her unfrozen hand to attack.
The sword and fist collided, a shockwave of Rainbow light and the sound of shattering ice showing Meiling had hit Cirno's sword, having her other arm frozen in the process for the cost of breaking Cirno's greatest offense and defense, her large sword, if only for a moment, but it was all she needed.
Meiling slammed her foot into Cirno, sending the weaponless fairy flying as she sped past the flying fairy, using her frozen arms she slammed them into Cirno, the ice shattering as she hit Cirno's back, sending the fairy sprawling into the dirt, leaving a crater as she shook her head from the hit.
"Round one to Meiling, you'll get her in the next one Cirno." Vaati said, encouraging his friend in a brotherly manner. Cirno got got up and looked at Vaati, smiling at him as Meiling landed. Grabbing the sword she had left from earlier on the ground Cirno held it out in front of her, ready for the next round.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Yeah no. After Cirno helped in taking out Remi AND was able to keep up with Flan, there's no way that Meiling, the one who was just demolished by Marisa, the other one who took part in Remi's defeat, could win even a single round against Cirno.
Omega E The Reader: I agree. Meiling would actually be thrashed.
WildMath55: That's exactly why I made Vaati and Cirno get their major appearance during the First Sengoku Gensokyo tournament.

BGM: [Touhou]-Cirno's Theme: Beloved Tomboyish Daughter ~Remix
Cirno and Meiling stood off once again, Meiling standing sideways with her arm out, her hand open as she playfully taunted Cirno, the Ice fairy deciding to taunt herself, spinning her sword before setting the massive thing on her shoulder, slightly unbalancing herself.
"Round two! ENGAGE!" Vaati yelled, once again going back to coughing as the two shot at each other again, Cirno going for an overhead swing. Meiling had power in her fist, ready to try her trick again. But then Cirno dropped the sword as she and Meiling were about to collide, Meiling hitting the sword and shattering it anyway as Cirno formed a new one, slamming it into Meiling's side as she realized her mistake.
Meiling was sent flying sideways, into the mist and into the lake. Coughing up water as she flew back out she flew at Cirno, who brought up her sword to block it. The high speed punch shattered the sword and hit Cirno, sending her flying… right at Vaati.
"Bollocks…" Was all he had time to say as Cirno slammed into him, knocking both off them down the back of the hill as Meiling's eyes went wide, running over to help.
As Meiling got to the top of the hill she saw both Vaati and Cirno knocked out, thankfully unharmed. Lifting Up Vaati carefully Meiling knew that Patchouli would need their help later, better to have strength in numbers after all.
Flying towards the mansion, carrying Cirno and Vaati see didn't notice as a little girl with horns formed on the hill, laughing her butt off at what had just happened before disappearing again, turning into mist.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Also, the very fact that the very FIRST fight in the IaMP arc is between two characters who AREN'T EVEN IN THE GAME!
WildMath55: At least Meiling can be excused, OverLord. There's a reference, like I said. As of Cirno, however, I agree. I'll shot down one.

BGM: [Touhou]- Sakuya's Theme: Lunar Clock-Luna Dial ~2º Remix
Patchouli was in the library, reading her books as she tried to find something, anything related to the incident. Sakuya had been acting strange all week, so she had started by looking over any books she could find relating to this. To which she couldn't find any… strangely all her books on Gensokyo's history and Oni were missing… and she had a hunch she knew who had taken them.
Patchouli called for Sakuya, using magic to clear a space in the library, Sakuya had been more aggressive lately, so this could easily devolve into a fight, and she wanted to be ready. Sakuya appeared seconds later, emotionless as ever during her duties.
"You called lady Patchouli?" Sakuya asked, her fingers flicking towards her pockets as if she'd be caught. This did not escape Patchouli's notice, but she pretended not to notice. "It has come to my attention that several books are missing from the library." Patchouli started.
"You remember the rat witch? She must have taken them." Sakuya said, pinning the blame on Marisa. "I highly doubt that she would have taken these very specific books, after all they are missing from key points all over the library, and all of them on one subject." Patchouli said, a loud explosion going off in the distance of the library, the usual loud laughter of Marisa being heard.
'At least I'll have back up in case things go wrong.' Patchouli thought as Sakuya spoke. "What books are missing? Perhaps the fairies misplaced them." She said, Patchouli narrowing her eyes at Sakuya. She never just ignored Marisa like that, keeping out intruders was a higher priority then dealing with her.
"The fairy maids are many things but the ones in library are lead by Koakuma, who I have made sure has memorized were every books goes, so I ask this Sakuya." Patchouli said, holding her book to her side, tensing up as she asked the hair trigger question. "Where are all the books on Oni."
That one statement had Sakuya flinging knives at her, Patchouli putting up a barrier to stop them. The knives hit the barrier, falling and disappearing as Sakuya dashed at Patchouli. Dropping her barrier, she swung her book hard. A blunt tactic, but one that sent Sakuya flying with the magic infused tome, sending her crashing into a book case.
Patchouli didn't let up, sending out small balls of fire that homed in on Sakuya as she got up, following up with a spray of water. The maid was kept down by the torrent and flames, pinned against the book case before teleporting. Patchouli looked around, trying to stay aware as she felt a small breeze behind her. Whipping around she found an array of knives having been thrown at her back, not having the time to throw up a barrier she braced. The (thankfully) danamaku knives hitting her and stunning her for a moment.
Sakuya took advantage of that moment to appear, stabbing at Patchouli with a knife, but the witch dodged to the side, but only enough to avoid getting stabbed as the knife grazed her side. Sakuya trying again, but running up against a quick barrier Patchouli had thrown up.
A loud explosion going off in the distance of the library, Patchouli quickly realized she needed to get Marisa' attention as Sakuya kept stabbing at her barrier. Opening her book and muttering a spell a large blue circle formed underneath her and Sakuya, crystals of ice forming and shooting out of the ground and into the massive library, above the shelves.
As Marisa was shooting down fairies and trying to escape with her newfound bounty of books she saw the large pillar of ice crystals shooting up into the sky before it faded. Doing a quick fly by she saw Patchouli barely holding out against Sakuya.
Glaring Marisa jumped off her broom, grabbing it and putting it on her back as she landed hard behind Sakuya, the maid turning around and seeing the magician there. "How you doing?" Marisa asked nonchalantly, Sakuya responding with throwing knives.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Pretty sure that Suika never did anything like that in IaMP.
Omega E The Reader: Is it the mind control stuff?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Yes, that mind control stuff. I don't remember Suika ever doing that in IaMP.
Omega E The Reader: If she did have those powers then Suika wouldn't actually use it. Remember she isn't a master planner or manipulator like Yukari as she prefers to go out and fight people herself instead of getting others to do it.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Suika just doesn't care about such things.
Omega E The Reader: What she DOES care about. Is the following: having a feast, drinking sake, and fighting!
WildMath55: Well, I think that's the reason why Kasen is considered as both a Sage and former Deva. The entire WaHH is basically her trying to re-seal her arm. I decided to deviate from the canon here. I even already wrote about it before Omega E wrote Boundary Effect Fanmade Codex and Bios.

BGM: 彩音 ～xi-on- Magus Night
Marisa dodged the knives as Sakuya switched from attacking Patchouli to attacking her. Marisa pulling her broom out from behind her and smacking the rather off maid. She wasn't normally like this, normally she would be stopping time and flinging knives everywhere, but she was currently just rushing at them and trying to stab them.
Sakuya caught herself from being smacked, only for a group of fire balls from Patchouli to home in on her. The maid was sent sprawling, down but not out as she disappeared again, Marisa and Patchouli going back to back. "I'm going to go out on a limb here and say she's gone crazy?" Marisa asked. "I hadn't noticed, but seriously she's taken out some very specific books and hidden them, and I think they are important to the investigation." Patchouli said as she put up a barrier to block some knives that had been thrown at them from the darkness, Marisa firing in that direction with a few magic missiles.
"Funny thing, I checked in on Reimu at the party yesterday and she was acting all weird as well. Not like Sakuya is, but like she was hiding something." Marisa said, as she grabbed Patchouli and pulled her down to the floor with her, knives passing over the two of them.
"That's it I've had enough of this, Patchouli, stay down." Marisa said, getting up as Sakuya appeared in front of her, Patchouli scrambling to get out of the way as the two settled into position across from each other in the box space of the library that Patchouli had cleared out earlier.
Sakuya pulled out several knives, setting them between her fingers like claws, her currently red eyes glaring down Marisa. Marisa pulled out a bottle and gathered some magic in her hand.
On an unspoken signal the two charged at each other, Marisa dodging Sakuya's swipes before sliding under her, leaving the bottle on the floor, which exploded, sending Sakuya skyward. Holding her hand out she fired off a trio of magic missiles that hit Sakuya in midair, sending her higher.
Marisa then hoped on her broom and flew after Sakuya, who righted herself in midair and launched at Marisa. Marisa flipped on her broom, going under Sakuya as she tried to swipe at her, pulling throwing out an orb of green energy that homed in on Sakuya, the maid getting caught in the explosion as Marisa stuck her Hakkero in her broom's bristles.
Pulling out a pair of bottles she surfed on her broom, going over Sakuya a dropping one of the bottles, which exploded, sending the feral acting maid flying. The mini Hakkero in Marisa's broom going off, firing a Master Spark out the back as Marisa griped her broom with one hand and the second bottle in the other.
The speeding magician slammed into Sakuya, catching her on the end of the broom as they sped in a straight line though the library. Sakuya's mouth caught open as Marisa pulled the top off the bottle, shoving it into Sakuya's mouth and forcing her to down the contents of the sleep potion.
The Maid past out from the combined effort of pain and potion, Marisa slowing down and pulling her Hakkero out of her broom as she flew with the unconscious maid over to Patchouli, dropping her unceremoniously on the floor.
End BGM
Omega E The Reader: Seriously though, why is even happening?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: If you ask me, the author just wanted them to fight and came up with this lame excuse. Look, this is Gensokyo, people get into fights over spilled milk. Some people even start fights to say "hello", for crying out loud! There's no need for mind control.
Omega E The Reader: And besides the whole fighting each other with spell card rules ALWAYS helps with resolving things. Has there EVER been an incident involving spell card rules that wasn't resolved?
WildMath55: Even if there is an incident that can't be resolved via Spell Card rules, Historia Gensokyo already have another means to do so via Sengoku Gensokyo. That's basically a double layer protection. The plus point is, the latter can be applied to Touhou RPG fangames as well!

"You said she had taken some books right?" Marisa said, ruffling through Sakuya's pockets, the maid in no position to object. "What's more worrying is how she was acting. She was deflecting blame onto you and fairies for the disappearance of the books, but her lies were absolutely terrible, which is odd considering she does that more often the you do." Patchouli said.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Nah. The only one who lies more than Marisa is Seija.

"Well excuse me Patchy." Marisa said, shortening Patchouli's name as she pulled a book out of Sakuya's outfit. "This the one?" Marisa said, holding out the book. Patchouli grabbed it from Marisa, looking the title over before looking into it. "This is one of them, but the others are missing. It's a book on Oni."
"Why would Sakuya take a book on… Oni…" Marisa said before grabbing the book, flipping through it until coming to a page that showed a dense mist, the same type of mist currently covering the Misty Lake.
"Marisa how did you?" Patchouli asked. "Think about it, she took a book on Oni right, I have a few of those, and I recognized the title, I couldn't remember it for a moment but it said that this Mist." Marisa said, pointing at the picture. "Is associated with one of the four Oni Devas, but it doesn't say which."
"That's the same mist covering the lake." Patchouli said, realizing something. "That would mean that the culprit is not only an oni, but one of the four Devas of the mountain." Patchouli said, grabbing the book and flipping through it. "It says the mist has been known to cause extreme aggressiveness and Oni like qualities in some individuals… which have been reported to may or may not have been controlled by the oni deva." Patchouli said, looking up the mist's qualities.
"Uh let's see, extremely aggressive, bad liar, not using her powers and instead trying to stab us." Marisa said, listing off the things Sakuya had done sarcastically. "You said Reimu was acting strange too, right?" Patchouli asked, Marisa going wide eyed for a moment.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: That's STILL not sarcasm!

"That's not good." Not good was an understatement, miss floaty britches under the control of an oni was probably the worst thing. "That's an understatement." Someone said, Patchouli and Marisa turning to see Meiling carrying Vaati over her shoulder and Cirno by her dress.
"I caught most of it, so no need to tell me, but I think these two are going to be out for a while." Meiling said, laying Vaati and Cirno on the floor. "You went a bit to far didn't you?" Patchouli asked, Meiling looking down for a second. "More like I accidently knocked Cirno into Vaati." Meiling mubbled.
"Enough about that. We need a plan." Marisa said, as the three of them go down to discussing what they should do.
Omega E The Reader: Seriously? Why did Reimu get mind controlled?!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Another excuse for a fight.

Meanwhile Youmu was walking around the Forest of Magic, looking for something on Yuyuko's orders. Someone had shown up and Yuyuko had wanted to see who she was. "Looking for someone?" A voice asked, Youmu turning and seeing a Pink haired girl laying on a branch, holding a scythe in one hand.
"I am looking for someone yes, but no idea who." Youmu said, putting her hand on her sword. "Well I'm kinda new around her, so I guess you might be looking for me." The girl said, jumping down from the tree and laying her scythe across her shoulders, putting her hands behind her head.
"You're a shinigami." Youmu stated, glaring at the girl. "More then just that little lady, I'm the one who ferries souls across the Sanzu, name's Komachi, and you're a Konpaku" Komachi said.
"How do you know my last name?" Youmu asked. Komachi took her scythe off her shoulders and pointed it at the ghostly orb floating around Youmu. "Your ghost half, plain as day."
"I have been ordered by lady Yuyuko to find and test the new arrival, and with your admittance that is you, I ask that we duel." Youmu said, drawing her sword and setting it by her hip, her Ghost half flying away as to avoid getting reaped.
"Your funeral." Komachi said nonchalantly, spinning her scythe around before setting it face upwards, dragging on the ground.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: They're not supposed to meet until Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

Youmu ran at Komachi, intending to get the first strike in. Swinging her sword at the shimigami in a diagonal slice she wasn't fazed as the girl didn't even move. Just as she was about to hit Komachi her scythe was blocking her sword, having been caught but the scythe.
Youmu went blank for a moment at how fast Komachi he moved, Komachi shoulder tackling her and then holding coins between her fingers as Youmu got up, throwing them in an arc.
The heavy metal coins were blocked by Youmu, but not without some difficulty. Gritting her teeth Youmu stared at the shimigami as she placed her scythe on her shoulders, not even caring. Running at the shimigami she repeated her first move, disappearing at the last second and appearing behind Komachi as her scythe had moved to block what she thought was going to be a frontal slash, the swing coming from behind and ripping her clothing as Komachi jumped out of the way, throwing more coins before landing and dashing at Youmu, now the fight was on.
Youmu deflected the coins back at Komachi, the shimigami catching them seamlessly as she continued her charge at Youmu, swinging her scythe downwards. Youmu blocked as she tried to hold back the scythe. The two girls struggled against each other for a moment before they both pulls away.
Komachi started swinging her scythe deftly, spinning it as Youmu was forced to block the mad swings, deflecting one but Komachi just rolled with it, changing her momentum with the deflection to use it as a horizontal swing.
Youmu pulled away just in time before the swing could cleave her, but she got grazed on the chest, tearing her green dress. Behind in the trees her ghost half had turned into a double of Youmu, the double rushing out of the trees to swing at Komachi.
Komachi rolled with it and dodged out of the way as both Youmu and her double slashed at her together, ducking and spinning her scythe above her to deflect the swords, both Youmu and her double being caught off guard by it as Komachi jumped high, throwing a shower of coins below her.
Youmu and her double dodged out of the way, Komachi landing gracefully nearby as Youmu began charging power, her double rushing at Komachi to buy time for Youmu. Trying for a horizontal slash the double swung at Komachi, who used the handle of her scythe to block the blow. In one quick motion Komachi had pulled herself away, leaving the double to stumble for a moment as Komachi threw coins at it, the heavy metal coins knocking the double down, but it got right back up as Youmu finished charging her magic, a second copy of her forming as all three Youmus stood by each other, outnumbering Komachi.
"Your pretty good, but not good enough." Komachi said as she slammed the butt of her scythe into the ground, causing a shockwave of energy that knocked the doubles of Youmu down, but Youmu herself rushed at Komachi.
Komachi parried Youmu's strike, knocking her back as she grabbed Youmu by the shoulder and threw her at her doubles, knocking the three of them over. Spinning her scythe behind her Komachi swung it forward, releasing a wave of spinning energy that spit out purple sprits Youmu and her clones scattering to get out of the way.
Komachi moved on the second clone, deciding to make an example she took a swing at the clone, cutting through it, but not cleaving it in half as a purple flame rose from the stunned clone, Komachi swing downward, slicing the flame and the clone in half vertically.
Youmu and her double watched as the clone dissolved, Komachi having 'reaped' it, setting her scythe on her shoulder she held her other hand out, making just daring for Youmu to come at her.
Neither halves of Youmu dared to do anything, fearing the reaper they had stirred. Sheathing her sword Youmu's double turning back into her ghost half. Youmu placing her hand on her blade for one final strike, one that would more then likely fail.
"You done? Now can I ask you some question's half ghost?" Komachi asked as Youmu disappeared. Komachi didn't look fazed as she looked around her, trying to find where the half-ghost girl had gone.
In an instant it all went to hell as Youmu appeared right in front of her, slashing at lightning speed, to fast for Komachi to block, knocking her into the air. And that second was all Youmu needed.
At lightning speeds Youmu slashed from all directions, almost all at once on Komachi. The shimigami's clothing getting wreck as she tried to hold onto consciousness as the slashes finished, Komachi hang their, covered in cuts, bleeding and her clothing torn fro a moment, just trying to hang on to consciousness. But then Youmu appeared directly under her, slashing up and taking Komachi high into the sky before stopping, speeding down to the ground and landing in a crouch as Komachi's unconscious body fell to the dirt, leaving a crater.
Youmu stood there panting heavily for while she started walking off, body falling to her knees and passing out from her Slash of Eternity. The two girls knocked out in the clearing, neither having won the battle.
Omega E The Reader: This is absolutely BULL S***!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Komachi is MILES ABOVE Youmu! In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Youmu failed to beat Tenshi when the latter went all out. But do you know who DID beat Tenshi when the latter was fighting seriously? KOMACHI! So there's NO WAY that Komachi would lose to Youmu!
Omega E the Reader: If you are wondering how strong Tenshi is, she's strong enough to take down Youmu, Marisa, Reimu and Sakuya consecutively and win! That would mean Komachi is way stronger than all four incident resolvers in a fight, so Youmu shouldn't even stand a chance!
WildMath55: Well, considering the fact that only Reimu that actually managed to reach Uber-tier in my current head-canon due to her status as Touhou Main Character, that point is still very valid during Historia SWR.
