Welp here we are, the boss level, two Oni deva. Did I forget to mention that Suika has been known to make mini clones of herself… and that both are going all out.

(STAGE CONTIUNE!)
BGM: CtC – Extra Stage Boss – Suika Ibuki's Theme: Onigashima in the Fairyland ~ Missing Power
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: The author said that the IaMP arc was supposed to be longer than the PCB arc. But in the end, both of them are four chapters long. So that was a lie.
WildMath55: Well, I already checked the game timeline, and safe to say, it really is way longer.

When the girls had all charged to two Oni at once Suika had raised her hand above her head, forming a dense mist in her palm, the hundreds of danmaku pounding the both of them from the fairies firing not even fazing them.
Yuugi had slammed a nice kick on Cirno's sword, shattering the ice blade again and hitting the ice fairy, sending her flying, at the same time she had been forced to block Meiling and Remilia's attacks.
The ball of mist in Suika's hand flew behind her, exploding into a large could as the fairies kept firing, their shots breaking the cloud apart and turning it into orbs, over a hundred orbs.
"You know, I haven't told a lot of people what my power, my ability is, but seeing as how you've decided to bring an army against us, I think I'll oblige." Suika said drunkenly as she kicked Remilia away from Yuugi and into the recovering Cirno.
"It's manipulation of densitiy, I can control the density of objects and matter. And with that." Suika said crushing her hand into a fist, the orbs of mist all behind her forming into mini copies of her, about as big as a normal fairy. "I can do this."
The mini Suikas all yelled and charged charging, there were as many of them as there was fairies attacking, the minis exact replica's of Suika in strength, and under her control. Within an instant the army of fairies had been shot down, those that didn't straight up explode plummeting to the ground as the mini Suikas formed up behind Suika and Yuugi, Meiling the only one still in the air, or awake.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: How is MEILING the only one still up?! Remilia can tank WAY more than her!
WildMath55: Forget about Remilia, Flandre can do much more, whats with her "Four of a Kind", which I've upgraded to "Five of a Kind".

"So any last words for trying to ruin the party?" Suika asked, tilting her head as she smiling with her rosy drunken cheeks. "I'll take you all on if I have to SO BRING IT!" Meiling yelled, flying at the army of oni. Suika just waved her hand as her minis shot past her and Yuugi, surrounding Meiling.
It was a pure beat down, Meiling taking hit after hit as she tried to fight back, managing to knock one of the minis away only for three more to take it's place beating her down. To her own credit, she stayed airborne for a good five minutes fighting the tide of mini oni.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: How the hell is Meiling lasting this long when Remilia was just unceremoniously knocked out?!
WildMath55: I'm pretty sure I already addresed this issue few times before, so refer to the last chapter for it.

Vaati was watching on from below having floated over to the knocked out Remilia and Cirno and propping them up against a tree. He scowled, he hated feeling this helpless, but there was literally nothing he could do to help Meiling as she was knocked out of the sky, unconscious and landing, making a crater in the dirt.
"Hey Suika, it's that kid who blasted me in the back." Yuugi said to her friend, pointing at Vaati. "Do you want to deal with him, or should I?" Suika asked drunkenly, Yuugi flashing a unsettling grin. "I'll do it, this kid is going to get it." Yuugi said, floating down to the ground as the mini Suika army cut off her and Vaati from the rest of the forest, acting like an arena.
"Crap…" Was all Vaati could say as Yuugi landed, cracking her knuckles. "What's the matter, not acting so tough now are you?" Yuugi taunted, Vaati simply floating there, unable to do much else.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: You know what? This is VERY cowardly to go after a crippled guy who can't defend himself.
Omega E The Reader: This directly goes against Yuugi's personality.
WildMath55: Another reason for me to make H-Vaati spectator initially. Not a cripple, but still need to learn from Patchouli. There's no way anyone can be ready that fast. And yeah, that's definitely not what Yuugi would do. She'd be content to just ignore Vaati.

"Not even a rise out of you, come on, at the very least BEG FOR MERCY!" Yuugi shouted, forming a large glowing ball in her hand in an instant, holding it above her head. "Bollocks…" Vaati coughed out, staring with great fear at the orb of destruction above Yuugi.
"No last words? Fine then I'll see you in the former hell!" Yuugi shouted, throwing the ball at the teen, who raised his hands and raising the strongest shield he could with what little magic had had available.
He didn't beg, he didn't plead, and he didn't close his eyes as he stared at his oncoming doom. Staring down death in the face he braced himself for what was about to happen.
A large explosion rocked the forest, trees being upturned, everyone who was unconscious being thrown about as the explosion showed above the trees. It was the equivalent of a miniature nuke going off right in front of Vaati's face, the only thing keeping him from a painful death a weak shield that was cracking everywhere. Before it finally broke, engulfing Vaati in the force of the explosion, not killing him but throwing him back far, slamming hard into the dirt with his clothing torn, revealing just how bad his current condition was.
His shirt had been blown off, revealing his completely blue chest, bruises all over it from the explosion as his arms were blue as well. His pants had barely survived, revealing his legs as a blue as well, bleeding hard from the blast. The only things not blue on his boy his head, neck and feet, but veins of the ice cold he was suffering from showing as well as bleeding furiously.
Cirno got to her feet after the blast, having been stirred by the blast, seeing Vaati's prone form lying there, bleeding and blue. "No…" she whimpered quietly as she ran over, dropping to her knees as she looked him over… the blue hue and bleeding wounds…
Yuugi was laughing hard, like she had just accomplished some great feat as even Suika was stunned from both the sheer ferocity… and just how badly the teen's body was doing. This wasn't some accomplishment… this was Yuugi having just nearly killed a damaged and beaten human.
"Ha, that was great. So did I get him?" Yuugi asked, that same smirk marring her face as she observed her handiwork, fairies and trees strewn about everywhere and the mini Suikas nowhere to be found. "Got him is an understatement Yuugi." Suika muttered as she watched from the sky.
Omega E The Reader: You're wrong Lunatic she isn't a bitch…she's a PSYCHOTIC BITCH! That's what she is right now!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And Suika is a sociopathic bitch for not calling her out or caring!
WildMath55: Let it be known that the remaining Devas in Historia are very pissed off right now. That includes Kasen, by the way.

Cirno was crying her eyes out over Vaati, the freezing cold tears not doing anything to help him. 'He… he was dying, from me. And he held on, for so long… for me…' Cirno cried in her head, grabbing her plastic sword off her back, and laying it next to Vaati, his shallow breathing the only thing showing he was still alive.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And where's Remilia in all of this? Of the three who were fighting Yuugi, she's the only one who was canonically playable, so WHERE IS SHE?!
Omega E The Reader: We should also take into account Reimu who is also absent.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Well Reimu shows up later, and her arrival includes a scene that is VERY important to remember. So right now, Remilia's absence is the current issue.
Omega E The Reader: Sin count +?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Well I checked and she's UNCONSCIOUS! She has been relegated to "previous villain who ONCE posed a threat but is now just another benchwarmer". Like Piccolo.

'You have to keep moving forward Cirno… I won't be around forever.' Vaati's words echoing in her mind as she stood meters away from the laughing Yuugi, who turned to see the fairy crying before her.
"So matter? Sad for your little friend. He shouldn't have shot me in the back, even if he was sick." Yuugi said before laughing at Cirno. "He wasn't sick… he is dying. Not just because of you, but for me." Cirno said as as the tears flowed even harder. "AND I WILL NOT LOSE FOR HIS SAKE!" Cirno shouted, the area around her flash freezing as the brown dirt and bombed crater, turning into a frozen ice arena.

Yuugi stopped laughing and looked at Cirno, staring a little bit as she looked at the fairy. Her wings… formerly just six icicles floating above her back, had grown, now attached to her back and sticking out behind her. Before Cirno had been the size of a normal fairy, about half the size of Suika, but now she was as big as the small oni, coming up to Yuugi's stomach.
And in her hand was a Large sword made of ice, the sword itself was easily the size of Yuugi, maybe a bit bigger. "You want to go." Cirno said, tear still in her eyes as she effortlessly lifted the sword, pointing the massive blade at Yuugi. "LET'S GO!" Cirno shouted, speeding at Yuugi as the Oni, Yuugi putting up her arm to Block the sword, expecting the blade of ice to shatter like all the others.
Imagine her surprise when it didn't shatter, imagine her surprise when it cut her skin, imagine her surprise when Cirno pushed her back. Yuugi holding her arm, lifting her hand to see the blood from the cut.
When the gap opened in the sky and out flew Reimu, Alice, Marisa and Yukari, all of them stared a bit in shock at seeing Cirno, actually forcing Yuugi back, the ice covering the forest over taking the wildlife slowly.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: NOW REIMU AND THE OTHERS SHOW UP?! A little too late.
WildMath55: Yeah. In canon, Reimu has the most count of incident resolving, so this is most definitely insulting.

"Dear Kami…" Reimu breathed silently as she saw Suika floating, watching the battle as Yuugi started fighting back, Cirno blocking her strikes with her stronger then steel ice blade. Her sheer sadness and anger driving her to fight on harder then before.
"Where did she get this power?" Alice asked, looking at the battle. Marisa was scanning the ground, her eyes going wide when she saw a certain someone sprawled on the ground. "I think I found your reason Alice, Marisa said pointing at the ground.
Alice gasped a bit as she and Marisa flew down to the prone Vaati, Reimu and Yukari floating opposite of Suika.
"This is bad." Alice said, lifting the bleeding form of Vaati into a sitting position, his head tilting to the side as Marisa rattled through her pockets, pulling out a potion, the same one she had used to heal Vaati months ago from Sakuya's knife.
"I don't think this is going to be enough this time." Marisa said as she pulled the cap off, opening Vaati's mouth and pouring the potion in, having him gulp as Alice laid him back down. "We can't just leave him here." Alice voiced her concern, given the large amounts of ice that was slowly overtaking the forest.
"We can't just not do anything, look at this place!" Marisa said, gesturing to the forest around them, it was like the extended winter all over again.
Cirno meanwhile had been slowly beating Yuugi back, with her boost in anger and sadness she was fighting on equal ground with the Oni Deva, but the massive extended reach of her weapon giving her a distinct advantage over Yuugi just using her fists.
Ice and fist kept meeting as they dueled, Cirno using the ice beneath them to launch a massive spike of ice from the floor, Yuugi jumping out of the way as to not get skewered. "Your pretty good fairy. But your only gonna get so far against me." Yuugi said, ignoring the fact she was slowly losing as Cirno jumped at her, getting in close as she slammed her sword against Yuugi's guard, the oni flinching slightly when the sword started cutting into her arms as Cirno got close to her face, Ice forming just from close proximity on Yuugi's face.
"You better pray to any deity you have that he pulls through this, or I will end you!" Cirno said coldly, before driving her sword down with even more force, forming deep gouges in Yuugi's arms. The blood staining her sword of ice.
To her credit Yuugi didn't cry out, she didn't scream she pulled her arms away and grabbed Cirno's sword, throwing it along with Cirno. But Cirno flipped in midair and put her feet behind her facing Yuugi horizontally as a wall of ice formed behind her, stopping her midflight as she kicked off the wall, flying at Yuugi.
Yuugi had her arms ready to grab, the deep gashes in them from blocking Cirno's swings a deep contrast to how injury free she was a few hours ago. Grabbing Cirno's sword she directed in into the icy ground, getting it stuck for a moment.
That moment was all she needed as she delivered a full kick to the sword in an attempt the break it. The kick caused a resounding crack to be heard, the sword gaining a number of cracks stemming out from her point of impact, but not breaking the sword as Cirno pulled it out of the ice and held it behind her before swinging to try and cleave Yuugi in half in anger.
Yuugi jumped high, Cirno using that to lauch an ice spike from the ground at her while she was midair, Yuugi just barely dodging the spike as it ripped her dress. Landing Yuugi and Cirno stood off from each other for a moment.
"That's it kid, you've officially pissed me off." Yuugi said as she unlocked the cuffs on her hands, the metal cuffs dropping into the ice and indenting themselves a good foot into the ground from their sheer weight. "The cuffs are off now." Yuugai ripped the remains of her tattered skirt of showing the red shorts underneath as she and Cirno settled across from each other.
"Then you'd better bring it if you hope to win." Cirno said, growling in anger as she dropped her two handed stance, holding her massive blade in one hand as she formed a second blade, exactly the same as the first and hefted it onto her shoulder with one hand as she pointed the other at Yuugi.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Why hasn't Remilia come to help already?
Omega E The Reader: This another characteristic of Goku Syndrome. Characters doing absolutely nothing while watching the growing stronger fight their enemy.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Exactly.
WildMath55: There it is. I'm pretty sure I made my intent clear to raise Historia Alliance's overall power level so that they can defend themselves.

BGM: [Touhou]-Yukari's Theme: Necrofantasia ~ 2ºRemix
Reimu and Yukari floated just away from Suika as Cirno and Yuugi battled down below. "All I wanted to do was have parties because of the long winter." Suika said, gesturing to what was happening around them. "I never wanted this."
"Funny how things don't go according to plan." Yukari said, Reimu floating alongside her with two senbon out. "I'm guessing your going t try and beat me now?" Suika asked. The simple nod from Reimu all she needed as she settled into positon next to Yukari. "That's fine, I deserve it, but I'm sure as hell not going quietly!" Suika shouted at the end, slamming her fists together as she sparked with power, her chains around her wrists falling off and hitting the ground with enough force to cause two small craters to form beneath her.
Suika started off by speeding at Reimu, barely visible as she appeared in front of the shrine maiden, slugging her straight in the jaw and sending her flying, knocked out from the massive blow.
"Reimu!" Yukari called, turning towards Suika as the Oni girl cracked her neck. "Just you and me, Yukari, bring it." Suika said, as Yukari held her parasol like a sword, this was a fight she couldn't afford to just toy with her opponent.
Opening several gaps, sign posts started flying out, Suika punching and kicking the projectiles away as Yukari teleported behind her, stabbing at Suika's back with quick speed and powerful force, her rapier like strikes hitting Suika's back and shoulders, bruises forming as Suika whirled around to try and kick Yukari, but she teleported away, appearing above Suika.
Pointing her parasol at Suika she opened a large gap, a new train flying out of it as speeds barely visible at it hit Suika head on. Pinned to the front of the train Suika brought her fist back and punched it with all her might, sending the train to instantly fly back at Yukari, who teleported away as the train exploded, showering bits of metal everywhere.
Yukari teleported in front of Suika, popping open her parasol and spinning it rapidly, cutting into Suika as she left cuts on her cheek and on her clothing. Suika responding by grabbing the Parasol while it was spinning, cutting her hand in the process and yanking it out of Yukari's grip, snapping it in half.
Yukari then snapped her fingers while glaring at Suika, the oni suddenly floating there motionless, unable to move anything but her eyes. "You got me to fight seriously by pulling that stunt on Reimu, breaking my stuff AND harming her… well now you don't get to fight." Yukari said as she grabbed Suika, teleporting away to who knows where with the oni girl. Probably best not to think about it.
Omega E The Reader: Seriously? Why are they fighting Suika?! Yuugi should be the one to be reprimanded!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: I wouldn't call this a fight. I mean, it was over in what amounts to a few moments. Reimu just got knocked out in a single hit while Yukari only did a few moves before pulling Suika into a gap.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: The main problem is that the fight against Suika, and the involvement of every characters who WERE in IaMP is over just like that. While the ACTUAL final battle of this arc is between characters who WEREN'T EVEN IN THE GAME! This is TOTAL BS!

Cirno and Yuugi were both blurs of color on the field of ice as they slammed into each other, Cirno now the one on the defensive with her two swords as Yuugi's power and speed had increased.
Yuugi and Cirno were both injured, the deep cuts from Cirno's swords bleeding hard on Yuugi's arms as Cirno had several bruises from when Yuugi had got hits on her. "Had enough?" Yuugi said, panting ever so slightly. "Have you?" Cirno said, the slight pant in her voice audible as well as they resumed their strikes.
All Marisa and Alice could do was watch as Cirno and Yuugi battled with all their ferocity directed at the other, Cirno fueled by her rage and sadness as Alice tended to the many wounds on Vaati with help from her dolls and Shanghai.
"She's losing." Marisa said, observing the battle. Alice looked up from tending to Vaati to see Marisa holding her Hakkero. "And now I'm going to give her the one shot she needs to finish this." Marisa said before flying onto the battle field, Cirno and Yuugi caught in a clash.
Marisa held out her Hakkero and pointed it at Yuugi, pouring all the power she could into it to speed up the Master Spark's charge into a mere instant, not bothering with a monologue as she fired.
Yuugi disappeared into the Master Spark as it enveloped her, still clashing with Cirno's swords before Cirno pulled away. The Master Spark fading. Yuugi's shirt was damaged and she was bleeding even worse from the magic that had seeped into her cuts, bruises forming from the blast as she hung there for a moment, breathing hard before relaxing her breathing.
Turning towards Marisa she saw the witch standing there defiantly, already charging another Master Spark as Yuugi sped at her, blinded by the rage of being interrupted as Marisa fired again.
Yuugi was hit full blast with the Master Spark, the giant laser pushing her back as she gritted her teeth, Cirno getting behind her with her sword ready as Yuugi slid back into her.
"Wait." Someone called, Cirno looking past the spark to See Vaati barely awake, holding onto consciousness by a thread as Alice helped him. "Don't kill her. Your… not… a killer…" Vaati wheezed as he coughed up a good bit of blood, Alice trying to get him to lay back down as Cirno set down her massive sword, the Master Spark dying away as Yuugi was panting on the ice, barely hanging on from all she had taken.
Cirno looked hard at Yuugi on the ground, the Oni deva wheezing before laughing. "Your just to goody goody to end anyone aren't you. You can't do it, and you wouldn't You gotta learn to stop your hesitation. After all… I'll be back." Yuugi said before finally passing out, unable to contend with the strain as blood from her arms stained the ice below her.
Omega E The Reader: And here we go. Another Cirno BS moment. Yuugi would have easily trounced Cirno in combat because she's a DEVA! And I mean it! It is said that her fists can shatter mountains! So what can ice-wielding dumb fairy suppose to do against a mountain destroyer?!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: You're right.
WildMath55: Nevermind the fact that I intend to make H-Cirno a low-tier Super-level Fighter... Yeah, I know it isn't supposed to be like that, but H-Cirno already got her power-up and is smarter. That's why she can hold her own against Okina.

Cirno ran up to Vaati as Marisa walked towards him, looking him over as he breathed heavily. His hat was a few feet away, tattered and torn, but to only bit of clothing left besides his pants, showing in just how bad a condition he was in.
A doll set his hat on his head, Cirno getting down on her knees to hug him, crying as he smiled. The he was dying, and everyone knew it. "It's alright Cirno." Vaati said quietly, trying to comfort her.
"No it's not" she sniffled, "It's my fault your dying." She said as she cried into his chest, Alice and Marisa looking on from a distance. "Cirno… I've not lived a good life, but at the very least I know, that you'll always be around to protect people." Vaati said, scratching Cirno's head slowly.
"Don't leave me… you're the only one who's ever cared!" Cirno cried out as she looked up at his face, tears streaming down her face. "Cirno… I'll be here until my very end, my story is closing." Vaati said as he looked to the side, seeing Marisa being joined by the others, who had waken up just in time to see this.
Remilia was crying, as was Alice as Marisa and Meiling were trying to hold back tears as well. Patchouli had floated closer to Cirno and Vaati, a slight smile on her face.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: So Remilia only returns to cry? That's dumb.

"Not many truly have the bravery to do what you were willing to do, let alone to resolve to even think about doing it." Patchouli said. "I know… but so long as I've helped someone…" Vaati said looking down at Cirno as his own tears began to flow. "I know… that I've been… doing… the right thing…" He wheezed out as he closed his eyes and lay his head on Cirno, finally passing out for good.
Cirno just kept hugging him harder and crying. "I'll save you… I don't… want you… to go yet… I don't… want you… to go… ever." Cirno sobbed as everyone started leaving. Letting Cirno have her privacy with the unconscious Vaati. "I promise… I won't let you die." Cirno cried as she started carrying Vaati's prone form back to their shack.
The fairies that had reformed from having died during the fight all watched on form the remains of the forest as the ice started to melt, watching as Cirno opened the door to the shack and enter. Pulling back the covers on the bed Vaati had let her sleep in for almost a year now she laid him in bed. Walking out side before closing the door.
She then sat outside the shack and started crying even harder, the fairies of the forest floating out to join her, watching on as several started crying themselves. Even the blonde Youkai girl and the green haired fairy were bawling.
The man in the shack… the fairy man, he had been called many things by the fairies of the forest and lake. He had been attacked by someone stronger then himself, and went down holding his ground to the last second. To the fairies… that blast would have wiped their forest out, but it was stalled just enough by Vaati to not wipe the forest off the face of Gensokyo.
For months Vaati lay unconscious in the shack. The fairies of the forest always visiting as Cirno never moved far away from him, always guarding. The slowly dying teen had only days to live by the time the next incident was about to start. And while others would call it the Imperisahable Night, for Cirno… it would always hold an even greater significance.
Omega E The Reader: So sad…but I hate this scene. I am still wondering why Komachi even showed up with Youmu and yuyu-WAIT A MINUTE! WHERE'S KOMACHI, YOUMU, AND YUYUKO?! Shouldn't they be there too?! What was so important of including them…if they never showed up to the final battle!? Their moments in this arc are LITERALLY filler! They add NOTHING whatsoever to this arc besides showing the dumb power levels of Vaati's universe!

AN: I think my heart just died from writing that final scene. And if you don't feel anything at all, your heartless. Just rereading it for errors was making me cry, and I'm the guy WRITING THE STORY!
This brings a close to the Immaterial and missing power arc, and you may notice that it doesn't say stage clear at the end. That would just ruin it. Now we have Vaati dying in bed, being cared for by Cirno, and now with only days to live, we are about to arrive at the Imperishable night arc. This chapter was originally intended to be only 3000 words… now it's at 4000 and probably my best work yet. It's most definitely the saddest that's for sure.
Leave a review down below if you want. I know I'm going to need a drink after this.
P.S. I spent the past ten hours trying to get this thing into the Doc Manager.
