As the people who we're bound for the Myouren Temple were walking up the stairs, from within the trees that surrounded either side, Kaiya opened one eye to see the people walking up. 'Honestly,' she thought, as she closed her eye again. 'If you're coming all the way here for safety, at least be more quiet.'

Once they reached the Myouren Temple, and all the people were gathered in the section directly in front of the temple, Nazrin spoke up to all of them, with Rinnosuke at her side. "U-Um…" she said. "I'll be having some mice guard the perimeter so, if you see any don't freak out. Also, you can make yourselves at home as much as you like. Just don't destroy anything."

The crowd thanked her, as they all went off to different parts of the shrine, many of them offering donations for the service provided. Behind the temple, Nazrin was sat down, against the wall. She began thinking about what Byakuren had told her, about how the pagoda could be used well elsewhere, as she looked down at it. 'Did she mean I should fight using it? No, Byakuren would never advocate using it for that. I guess… doing this was the best I could think of. I wish she could've told me more about what to do,' she sighed, as she looked up towards the now brighter sky. Her thoughts were interrupted by a mouse that ran over to her. Nazrin picked up the mouse, and brought it up to her ear.

"Huh?" Nazrin asked, as she quickly got to her feet. She lay the mouse back down and ran into the forest.

Nazrin followed the mouse around the forest, with her Pagoda ready in hand. When she reached the object of the mouse's worries, she looked at it in surprise. There she was, a Martian, sleeping idly against a tree like nothing was happening. She seemed highly weakened, obvious damage sustained across her body, but her black hat and long brown hair seemed surprisingly safe, almost like she went out of her way to protect those aspects. 'A Martian… falling asleep at this time?' Nazrin thought, as she raised her Pagoda, ready to fire a laser at her. As she did, however, the Martian opened one eye and seemed to teleport away from the laser, as gems appeared where the laser struck the ground.

"Can I not get some sleep in peace?" Kaiya complained, as she stretched her arms. "What do you want?"

"W-what do I want?" Nazrin asked, as she shook her head. "I want you to leave the humans alone! Failure to comply and i'll have to force you to go away!"

"I don't think I was doing anything to the humans…" Kaiya said, as she sighed. "Fine, i'll go away. I don't want to cause any harm to people not involved anyway," she said, as she looked at the Pagoda. "Nice lantern."

"I used this to vaporise the arms of your sword user, and i'll do it to you too!" Nazrin threatened.

"That's cute," Kaiya joked, as she looked at the gems. "Mind if I take some?"

"Uh-Um…" Nazrin thought, as she looked at the gems. As she did, however, Kaiya knelt down next to some and scooped them up in her hat.

"Thank you very much," Kaiya said, as she walked away from her, causing Nazrin to breathe a sigh of relief.

'At least she's gone,' Nazrin thought to herself.

Meanwhile, on the furthest edge of the Garden of the Sun, Hiroko reached into her pocket and pulled out her deck of cards, as she flicked one off with her only remaining arm, and it split into five. The five of them went above her head and sprinkled down green dust on her, making her feel rejuvenated and healing her of her wounds, but not regenerating her arm. "Lunarian Sage, no, you who changed your name to Eirin," Hiroko muttered, as she looked up to see Eirin exiting through the gap. "To think… someone from back then was residing here as well."

As she was speaking, however, Kaiya teleported next to her. "See you've lost an arm and some of those cute ribbons of yours," she said in a joking tone.

"I see all your limbs are in tact, but everything except your hat and hair have been cut," Hiroko responded, as Kaiya smiled. "Who did you fight?"

"A vampire and her maid, then one of the sages," Kaiya said, as she yawned. "Beat all three of them, but the sage lulled me into a false sense of security and struck back with a surprise flurry of attacks. So I went to sleep but was woke up by some mouse-looking girl. What about you?"

"You went to sleep?" Hiroko asked, as Kaiya nodded in response. "Anyway, I was fighting a lunarian sage who was here, and then she teamed up with a Gensokyo sage. They used one of my strongest attacks against me, as the Lunarian Sage struck me with one of her most powerful blows. I was on the verge of passing out, but I retreated and found myself here. The Lunarian Sage left, along with the Youkai of Boundaries. Two of my greatest concerns are now out of the equation, but the sisters from the moon are here now."

"You mean to tell me that you've not even taken one down after all this time?" Kaiya asked jokingly, as Hiroko seemed slightly displeased. "So, i'm on three, you, Saiko and Yorimi are on zero. How many did Kasumi rack up?"

"Five, I believe," Hiroko said, as Kaiya sighed. "And the one who beat Saiko also burned herself out. You can credit that to her."

"So, three more to go and i'm in the lead," Kaiya joked, as she smiled. "Anyway, got any spares?"

"You used both?" Hiroko asked, as Kaiya shook her head.

"Nah, I just thought it'd be best to not burn through my supply," she said, as Hiroko sighed and flicked one card off the bottom of her deck, which split into two. Kaiya grabbed both and threw them in the air, healing her wounds.

"Good as new," Kaiya said. "Good thing i've still got both my arms, huh? Anyway, why don't we just retreat for now? If you're getting beaten down, it may just be a matter of time before we lose."

"No," Hiroko shook her head. "We'll keep going."

"What happened? You were the one against this, but now you're more into it than I am. C'mon, what's your secret?"

"Secret?" Hiroko asked, as Kaiya smiled. "I… have no secret."

"Is it about the leader of the city?" Kaiya asked, as Hiroko looked up at her with a slightly narrowed right eye. "Guessing that's a yes. Look, whatever it is it has to be dear to you. So, i'll keep helping you out. What best friends do, isn't it?"

Hiroko looked away slightly. "Yeah… sure…" she muttered, as she looked back at her. "Saiko was beaten up north. You go there and check her body for her heal cards. I'll let you have a stock of four."

"Nice," Kaiya smiled. "Hey, how about this? If I beat ten people first, we'll retreat and you have to reward me for a valiant effort. If you beat ten people first, we'll keep going and i'll reward you for… something."

"And if Yorimi gets ten first?"

"Then colour me impressed," Kaiya joked, as Hiroko nodded to her offer. "Alright then, north I go. Don't go losing anything else on me, alright?" she said, as she teleported away. Hiroko smiled after the interaction, before looking up at where Eirin once was. Now, Yorihime and Toyohime were both up there. She looked down at her missing arm, before flying up to meet them.

Kaiya found Saiko passed out, with burns covering her body, as her left arm seemed completely destroyed. "What is it with everyone losing arms today? Saiko, Kasumi and Hiroko all lost them. It's like someone doesn't have any ideas for other ways to show damage. At least go for a leg once or twice," she said, as she searched the body of her fallen comrade. She found remains of what once were two cards, however the were scorched and crumbled to ash as they were touched. Kaiya sighed in disappointment, as she took one of her own cards out, and threw it above Saiko, causing the green dust to sprinkle over her and remedy some wounds. "That should be enough to ensure survival," she said, as her eyes glowed red and she teleported Saiko away.

"A Martian already," a voice said behind her, as she spun around. "You weren't that hard to find," she said as dolls appeared to be surrounding her.

"Oh hey, a Gensokyo resident," Kaiya said, as she tipped her hat to her. "Kaiya Amari, Minister of Discovery. Pleased to make your acquaintance, doll user. Mind adding one to my counter?"

"Counter?" Alice asked, as she narrowed her eyes. "Is this some game to you?"

"Well I have an ongoing game with our leader, yes," Kaiya said. "But if you're referring to killing, we made an agreement not to kill anyone we come across. I've held up that end of the deal. We simply just need to knock you into submission."

"Do you really think that'll work?" Alice asked.

"Nah," Kaiya admitted quickly, taking Alice by surprise. "Our leader is by far the smartest person here, but she's so flustered about something she's not given us proper orders. We're mostly just fighting until you give up or we lose. We've already lost two strong allies of ours, so now it's just me, our leader, and the weakest of our bunch. Even if I beat the vampire, her maid and a sage, i've been shown that my endurance isn't infinite. If you have a lot of people hiding, i'll probably lose. And we've seen someone who's forced even our leader to retreat, heavily wounded and without an arm. I honestly do doubt myself that we'll pull this off."

"The vampire, you mean Remilia, Sakuya… and a Sage…" Alice thought. "Yukari just left, so it must've been some other one. You seem strong, fighting you alone may be a grave mistake on my part, so i'm afraid I won't accept your offer."

"Aww, what a shame," Kaiya sighed, as she looked around at the burnt area, before focusing on the book in Alice's hand. "What's the book about?"

"Nothing i'll be showing to you, if you're not the master," Alice said, as she looked up at Hiroko fighting the two lunarians. "Is that her?"

"If it is?"

"Then i'll just have to wait my turn."

Meanwhile, up in the air, Toyohime raised her fan and whispered to Yorihime. "What's the plan? Completely destroy her and win easily, as we always do?"

"No, destroy her other arm," Yorihime said. "That's our first priority. That way, she won't be able to draw her cards. The cards are the source of her power."

"Whatever you say," Toyohime joked, as she raised her fan and launched a blast at Hiroko, who dodged the blast by moving to the side. Yorihime used this chance to close in, her sword raised to slice at Hiroko's other arm. Hiroko raised her now healed arm, as the sword hit her arm, but was deflected easily.

"Tsk," Yorihime sighed, as she raised her sword. "Izanagi," she said, as a spirit came down to her body. Hiroko and the Spirit seemed to exchange a glance of familiarity as the spirit descended, as Yorihime took its power. The power manifested into a new sword, as Hiroko's eyes widened at seeing it. "Ten-Grasp Sword!" Yorihime shouted, as she sliced at Hiroko, on the side of her remaining arm, as a powerful energy surrounded it. Hiroko reached into her pocket and flicked a card off, as a shield appeared to block the sword.

"Purging Card," she said, as the energy from the sword began dissipating as it continued clashing with the shield. Toyohime managed to sneak behind Hiroko during the ordeal, as she elbowed Hiroko in the back, before following up with a kick that sent her flying across the sky, before she launched another blast from her fan at her. The blast hit her this time, as it caused her to wince in pain and damage to begin appearing across her body.

"Oh? She's taking it," Toyohime said, as she raised fan over her mouth. "First time i've seen anyone survive a blast from my fan," she said, as Hiroko managed to push the blast away with some sort of magic power. She flicked a card off her deck, as it went above her and healed her.

While she was busy healing, Yorihime, in almost blinding speed, closed the gap between her and the martian, swinging down at her from above. Hiroko summoned a magic sword, as she blocked the attack. The two exchanged clashes for a few seconds, with Hiroko clearly on the defensive as she was forced to block attacks from a two-handed sword using only one hand. Hiroko found a chance to dodge, as she dismissed the blade and raised her hand, summoning a magic circle, as an explosion was blasted out of it, causing Yorihime to fly backwards.

"My turn," Toyohime said, as she attacked with her fan from below Hiroko. The Martian dodged the attack, as she flicked a card off her hand. However, as she tried to do so, Toyohime's fan glowed with magical power, as the magic power grew into a sword-like weapon. Toyohime sliced at the card, as it cut in half, before she attacked Hiroko with her the weapon, who was struck by it a few times. Hiroko, however, managed to find an opportunity to turn into cards and fly pat Toyohime, rematerializing behind her. She placed her hand against Toyohime's back, with a card in it. Toyohime smiled as she felt the press against her, as raised her hand and muttered some lunarian words. When the laser from the card was fired out, Toyohime seemed to dissolve into light, as the laser passed through her. After dissolving into light, the light turned into multiple lasers, as she went through Hiroko. Some of the lasers missed, but some pierced straight through the Martian's body, as the lasers rematerialised into Toyohime.

"Been a while since I got to use some lunarian magic," Toyohime said, as she opened her fan and fanned herself. "I was worried I might lose my touch. Sorry if mine isn't as strong as master Yagokoro."

Hiroko bit her lip, as she flicked a card off again. As she did, though, she was struck by a lightning strike by Yorihime, who used the power of Honoikazuchi. Yorihime flew up to her, as she struck at her with her blade, aiming for her arm. When the attack connected, a cut appeared on Hiroko's arm, as Yorihime forced the blade deeper. The cut deepened further, as Hiroko struggled to find a card, before she snapped her finger and used magic to cause smoke to appear around her, temporarily blinding Yorihime. Toyohime blew her fan at the smoke, as the smoke was blown away and Yorihime could again see, as she finished coughing at the smoke. Hiroko managed to use the time to flick a card out, as she healed herself.

"Sorry, sis," Toyohime said, smiling. "It was freeing you or getting rid of a card."

"Should've gone for the card," Yorihime scolded, as she looked up at Hiroko flicking off another card.

"Hell Card," She said, as the card blasted out a mix of flame and darkness, burning Yorihime's right wrist without it even touching her. Toyohime fanned away some of the flames as she went next to Yorihime, who pointed her sword to the ground.

"Izunome, drive out the impurity in my stead!" Yorihime said, as a spirit appeared behind her, taking notice to Hiroko as she did. She waved her hand, as the darkness mixed with flame turned to purity, nullifying it. "Now, your turn."

"Right," Toyohime said, as she raised a large energy fan. She fanned the flames away from Yorihime, who rushed up to Hiroko, taking a full front of the flames from the attack as she got closer.

"A-Asura," she managed to say through the burning, as a larger version of Yorihime appeared behind her. As Yorihime struck down, the larger version also attacked, however as the larger attack connected, it felt as if it were six blows mixed into one. Hiroko flew down to the ground, landing on the floor as the Hell Card's effects disappeared.

"You alright?" Toyohime asked, as she flew over to her sister.

"Fine," Yorihime answered, looking at the burns on her body. "She's still perfectly fine. Although… Lady Yagokoro's attack must've done something to her. She seems weaker now, and it's not because of the missing arm."

"Lady Yagokoro sure is amazing, isn't she?" Toyohime asked, as she smiled at Yorihime. Yorihime nodded, as she smiled at her as well.

On the ground, Hiroko raised her remaining arm and looked at it. 'What is… happening?' she thought to herself. 'I'm… losing. Have I been getting weaker?' she thought, as she got up to look at them. 'No… the Lunarian Sage's attack didn't do anything to my power.'

"Oh, she is getting up after all," Toyohime said, with her fan over her mouth. "She must have some sort of strong will to think she can still beat us."

'Will…?' Hiroko thought, as she looked at the two of them. 'My strong will?'

"Don't get too cocky," Yorihime said, as she took a battle stance again. "To match with Lady Yagokoro for as long as she did, and force her to use her full magical power, this girl isn't normal. She must be something special."

'Something special?' Hiroko thought. 'I'm the second thing to exist in this universe… of course i'm special. I'm the sister of the strongest being in the universe… Nuwa…' she thought, as her eyes lit up. 'Nuwa… yes, that's why i'm here. I forgot my reason for fighting, that was my strong will…'

"Thank you, lunarians," Hiroko said, as she reached into her pocket. "I remembered what i'm fighting for now… the reason I have such a strong will," she said, as she took a single card out of her pocket. She threw it forward, as it separated into about a dozen different cards, that set themselves somewhere before becoming invisible.

Yorihime blasted through the space between her and Hiroko, avoiding where the cards were all placed. Hiroko turned into cards once again, as a few of them were cut by Yorihime. Hiroko reappeared in front of Toyohime, who raised her fan in an attempt to attack. Hiroko grabbed Toyohime's wrist, however, as the cards she had laid out before all fired lasers towards her. As Yorihime closed in on Hiroko from behind, the Martian span around, still holding Toyohime's wrist, as Yorihime was forced to halt her attack at risk of hitting her own sister.

Toyohime swung back, as she attacked Hiroko with a kick, knocking her back as she grazed some lasers, before her hand seemed to light ablaze. "Agni," she said, as a powerful blast of flame encompassed Toyohime, as it turned into a full pillar of flame. Yorihime was forced back by the heat, as Hiroko let go of Toyohime's wrist, before backing up slightly. "Light Card," Hiroko then said, as she took one card out of her pocket and threw it into the air. A powerful light beam shot straight through the pillar of flame, as it mixed with the fire, before exploding out and disappearing.

"Toyohime!" Yorihime shouted, as Toyohime sighed as she looked at her burns and the damage sustained.

"Looks like… i'm out," Toyohime said, as another card was thrown close to her.

"Darkness Card," Hiroko said, as dark tendrils erupted from it, catching Toyohime in the full brunt of it. Afterwards, Toyohime fell down to the ground, darkness seemingly affecting the purity her body would have otherwise had.

Meanwhile, Kasen had sent her eagle out to observe the events on the ground for her, as she stood in front of all the humans at the Hakurei Shrine. Reimu had left the shrine prior to Kasen's arrival, and thus, did not know of Kasen being there. When she was sure nobody could hear, Ran walked beside Kasen. "Lady Yukari placed you in charge now?"

"Yes," Kasen nodded, as she looked up at the fight in the sky, witnessing the summoning of Asura. "Are you not going to fight?"

"No," Ran shook her head. "I'm looking after these humans. And, I need to look after Chen," she said, as she looked over to the cat playing with some young humans. "Are you not worried about what would happen without the spell card rules?"

"There's no way we'd get them all to consent to the spell card rules, it would be foolish," Kasen said. "So, this is how it must be. Our hope for everyone's survival is in the hands of the rabbit at Eientei and the people to find the injured as quickly as possible. Unless, you wish to help with nursing people back to health?"

"I would like to," Ran said, looking over Gensokyo from the relatively high vantage point. "But that is not what Yukari gave me as my job. In a time like this, I trust in her abilities."

Kasen looked back at her, before nodding. "I see. The lunarians being on our side has been a great boon for us so far. Now everyone is starting to wake up, I put my trust in them. I will continue observing everything, after all, I would know less about the abilities of everyone than they would themselves. If I do disagree with anything, I will not hesitate to step in," she said, as Ran nodded.

Meanwhile, in Eientei, Byakuren and Kaguya had stayed behind while Satono and Mai went out to search for more wounded. "How is everyone holding up?" Byakuren asked, as she looked at the people lying on the beds.

"They'll all survive," Reisen responded, as she looked at Shou. "She's got it worst of all, if she was attacked slightly higher, she may have died. As it is now, she may be hospitalised here for another day at least, without Lady Yagokoro. The Vampire and Mokou have been recovering very quickly. It's likely they may be able to rejoin the fight before it ends."

"Want some extra help?" Byakuren asked, as Reisen nodded in response.

"That would be nice, yes," she said, as the door to Eientei was opened, with both Mai and Satono storming in with three more injured. Toyohime, Daiyousei and Wriggle.

"I managed to get in the middle of a fight," Satono said, as she was carrying Daiyousei and Wriggle. "I snuck in, of course, and retrieved the wounded. I'm going back now to make sure nothing else goes wrong!" she said, as she ran out. Mai looked a little more troubled, however.

"What's wrong?" Byakuren asked, as Toyohime was placed on a bed, Kaguya looking at her with her eyes narrowed.

"It's… nothing," Mai asked, as she went back out into the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Rumia, Cirno and Mystia were still fighting against Yorimi, who seemed to still not be breaking a sweat. Cirno was still smiling, however, a she fired icicles at the Martian, who managed to melt it using her ability. Yorimi turned around as Rumia charged at her, as she managed to punch to Youkai against a tree, shaking her head as Rumia's manipulation over darkness had affected her. She raised her hand at the tree, as the bark wrapped around Rumia and trapped her in.

Mystia began singing, as Yorimi noticed herself beginning to go blind. She charged straight at Mystia, who managed to finish her short song as Yorimi could no longer see. Mystia was hit by the attack, however, but no follow up came. "Cirno! Attack now!" Mystia shouted.

"Right!" Cirno said, raising both her arms. "Perfect Freeze!" She shouted, as she fired ice at Yorimi, as it caused her arm to slowly begin freezing over. Yorimi thrashed her arm around to try and stop it, however, it appeared to be completely frozen over after about twenty seconds.

"That's it Cirno!" Mystia shouted. "You've got her!" she added, as Cirno was beginning to sweat due to the amount of power she put behind it. Yorimi heard her voice, as she flew as quickly as she could to where it was coming from, swinging her frozen arm at Mystia, as the ice smashed over the night sparrow's head. "A-ah… I guess it's time to go sleep…" Mystia said, as she span around out of dizziness from the attack, before falling to the ground. Yorimi can now see again, as it was only her and the ice fairy left.

"Y-you…" Cirno said, as she looked angrily at her, despite sweating from the amount of power she was using. "You defeated all of my friends! I'll never forgive you! It's time for you to see my true power!"

"Uh-um…" Rumia said, as she was still stuck against the tree. "I'm still here."

Yorimi sighed as she smiled, before turning her back to Cirno and looking at the fight between the Martians and the Tengu. She managed to catch pillars flying out from the mountain and landing in the battlefield. "Hey!" Cirno shouted. "Don't turn your back to the most powerful being in Gensokyo! Now, witness my true power!" she shouted, as she managed to start a blizzard, carrying icicles in it. "Diamond Blizzard!"

Yorimi turned back to her, as she shook her head. She rushed through the icicles, melting some that threatened to hit her, as she stopped in front of Cirno. She raised her hand, as she fired a simple, magical energy blast at Cirno, knocking her far away and flying across the ground. Cirno slowly stood up, before being fired at again, which knocked the fairy out.

"Well… that annoyance is out of the way…" Yorimi muttered, as she looked back at the pillars being launched over. She raised her hand as the pillars appeared to break up, as they turned into tiny pebbles that provided no threat to anyone.

"Well, looks like I found the trouble maker," a voice said, as Yorimi turned to face it. A girl taller than the ones that she had faced before, with green hair and a frog, as well as snake ornament in her hair. "Now, for your offense against Lady Kanako, and as I am a shrine maiden of Gensokyo, I will subdue you!"

"Looks like someone else for me to fight," Yorimi said, as she looked Sanae in the eyes. "That's fine. I already dealt with five more people than I expected to."

"Uhm…" Rumia spoke up. "I am still here, you know! Hey, Shrine Maiden, help me and I won't eat you!"

Sanae seemed to ignore Rumia, as she readied herself for battle. However, before the fight started, clouds above Gensokyo formed quickly and unnaturally, as a thunderstorm seemed to start brewing. "What the- oh no…" Sanae said, as she looked up at the fight in the sky. Yorimi also turned around to look at them.

"Hiroko…" she muttered.

Meanwhile, Kaiya and Alice both looked up at the centre of Gensokyo as the storm started. Alice seemed very concerned at the amount of power she felt from the storm starting, as Kaiya narrowed her eyes at the fight. "Hiroko… don't you dare lose."

"Oh man!" Marisa said, holding her hat as she dodged a lightning strike and looked towards the fight in the centre of Gensokyo. "Oh hey, it's that Lunarian from before! But she looks… different. Wonder what's happenin' with her."

Nazrin looked up from the fight in the centre of Gensokyo, as the lightning struck around near the Myouren Temple. The humans behind her fell to their knees and clasped their hands together, bringing their heads down in a prayer fashion. Nazrin dropped her pagoda as she looked at it. "Is that…"

"Yes," Rinnosuke nodded, as she stood next to her. Rinnosuke too, dropped to his knees, as she clasped his hands together. Nazrin nodded, as she followed suite as well.

"My oh my," Miko said, as she was walking with Futo and Tojiko. She also nodded, as the two of her allies clasped their hands together in a prayer-like fashion as well. "Looks like this is really getting serious now," she said, as she too began praying.

All the humans, as well as Hieda and Kosuzu, in the Human Village also began praying at the sudden storm. "To think… it would come to this," Hieda said, as she went on her knees as well.

In Eientei, the sudden storm caused all Kaguya, Reisen and Byakuren to all run out into the Bamboo Forest. Mai and Satono quickly flew back to Eientei, as all five of them looked up into the sky. Mai and Satono both began praying as well, as lightning struck the Bamboo Forest, causing a fire to start. Reisen jumped at the Lightning Strike, as Kaguya immediately flew over to the fire to check on it.

"Oh dear," Byakuren shook her head, as she too reluctantly began praying, as did Reisen.

In the Garden of the Sun, Yuuka flew up above the sunflowers, looking at the storm beginning suddenly and violently. A lightning strike came down on her, but she opened her parasol as it struck, causing the lightning strike to do nothing. "How troublesome," Yuuka sighed, as she fired a laser to meet with another lightning strike that was threatening to strike the garden. "Starting this storm… this battle is starting to annoy me. I'll make sure you regret doing that, soon enough," Yuuka smiled, as she looked up at Hiroko in the air.

"Does this warrant you stepping in?" Ran asked, as she stepped forward, right next to Kasen. Kasen looked back as all the humans went down to their knees, their hands clasped. Chen, seemingly slightly confused, copied her new friends as she did the same.

"..." Kasen seemed hesitant to respond. "As you can see, it is not anyone's place to interfere with this fight anymore. As you can tell, he has granted his power to that Lunarian," Kasen said, as she too began praying in the same fashion.

"What the-!?" Reimu asked, as the storm started. She looked up at the fight. "That Lunarian… what's going-" Reimu began saying, before she clasped both her hands over her mouth. "No way… her? That's impossible…" she said, as she too began praying. "It's that serious, then. For you to entrust your power to the Lunarian…"

Somewhere else in Gensokyo, Tenshi moved away her hat from her eyes as the storm started. She smiled as she looked at it. "Looks like the fun's beginning to start, huh, Iku?" she asked, as she looked over to the messenger of the Dragon Palace. Iku narrowed her eyes as she looked up at Yorihime. "What's wrong? You can feel his power going to her? Are you getting jealous?"

"No," Iku shook her head, as she continued to look up into the sky. "I'm simply worried about what would happen if she misuses his power."

Tenshi laughed as she heard her speak, as she stood up from her previously lying down position, fixing her hat as she did so. Iku turned around to look at the celestial, as she walked past the messenger. "C'mon, Iku. Let's make a grand entrance, shall we? Especially now with him showing interest in the proceedings, it wouldn't be good on you if you don't do anything, would it?" Iku sighed, as she nodded and followed the celestial.

Up in the sky of Gensokyo, Yorihime had lightning surrounding her, as a powerful aura also flared to life. "So, you beat my sister. And you were a match for Lady Yagokoro," Yorihime said, as her eyes turned a pure, light colour. "In that case, I see no reason not to unleash the strongest spirit," she said, as she raised her sword above her, holding it with both her hands above her head, the blunt side pointing straight towards Hiroko. A spirit appeared behind her, shaped like a dragon, as it descended into her body.

"I see…" Hiroko said, as she took a heal card and healed herself, before taking another two cards out.

"That's right…" Yorihime said, closing her eyes. "Ryujin. The Dragon God."
