N: I do not own Touhou Project, Madoka Magica, or Sword Art Online.
So I got… two reviews, one from Tommiboy and another from Kweh Viola. Kweh say that he thought this story was going to be shorter then the the last, that is where he/she is wrong. Let me make this clear, this story is going to make several Arcs. The Virtual World Arc, the Former Hell arc, the UFO Arc, the Second Tournament Arc, the Fairy Arc, Ten Desires Arc, the Hopeless Masquerade Arc and the Third Tournament Arc. So yeah, LOOOONG story. The fact there are two tournament arcs, which are very long, should be an indicator. But after the final tournament arc, the next story, the third book in Fugere Illusion, is still out there, there will be a third book, I just don't know what it is going to be based off of yet.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Ha ha ha no.
Omega E The Reader: For some ungodly reason your stories are so long.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And it doesn't go further than the Former Hell arc.
Omega E The Reader: Why do they need to be long?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Not a clue, and it's not like if we'll ever know, either...
Omega E The Reader: But should we sin the fact that the chapters are so long?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: No, we should sin the fact that he sold the bear's skin before catching the bear by announcing all the chapters her WAS gonna write but ultimately didn't.
Omega E The Reader: Okay then.

Inside the inn on the ninty-fifth floor's desert town, the SAO survivors and the trio of girls that had come to rescue them were all sitting at a large table in the inn. Kirito's arm had come back as Mokou was forced to stand outside to avoid any more incidents.
"So… where do you want us to start?" Vaati asked, her and Patchouli allowing the survivors to ask questions freely. "Tell me, just why would you come and save us?" Agil asked, his hand on his chin in thought. Patchouli and Vaati looking at each other before nodding. "I don't know if you've heard but the outside world has been destroyed, humanity near extinct, in fact there is only around a few hundred left in Gensokyo. The only survivors of this apocalypse were those behind the Great Hakurei Barrier, and those trapped in these virtual worlds. So as for why you have been saved… a combination of pity and a need for population." Patchouli answered. "So we're just some extra numbers in humanity's book are we?" Klein asked in a dark tone. "You don't have to remain human… I doubt you would qualify anyway; Yukari has been trying to remove humanity entirely." Vaati said.
"That just rounds back on us, we're human aren't we?" Argo said angrily. "There is a reason for this, after all it was humanity that wiped itself out, and we don't want that to happen again… ever." Vaati said, closing her eyes and breathing in deeply. "Then what's to say you won't do the same." Kirito said suddenly, everyone looking at the black swordsman in slight shock as he sat across from Vaati and Patchouli. "After all you two don't seem all that far from human yourselves." Kirito finished, wanting their response. "Human in form, but in abilities it much more then that. My species is a type of youkai known as magician, and my twin here is a hourai immortal, she's not going to be dying anytime soon as the name implies. That girl outside, Mokou, is also a hourai immortal." Patchouli said quietly.
"Those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat that history… and I highly doubt I would ever want to make an apocalypse or allow one to happen." Vaati added, closing her eyes before coughing a bit. "Not very reassuring." Kirito muttered. "Look enough about this species stuff, we're getting off topic, how do you plan on getting us out of here?" Asuna interjected, leading Kirito, Patchouli and Vaati to shift their focus to her. "The one who got us in here, Yukari, will be pulling us out when we alert her… and odds are she's probably listening in right now." Vaati said, only for a small gap to open above her head and a pile of snow to fall out on top of her, the SAO crew and Patchouli staring as Vaati poked her head out of the snow and coughed. "Not funny…" She muttered. "Actually quite funny." Agro replied cheekily, smirking. "Ok… that solves that problem." Asuna said as she stared in disbelief at the snow currently on Vaati.
"I'm not even going to ask where that snow came from." Agil muttered as he stared at the snow. "Just how powerful is this Yukari?" Kirito asked, a small glimmer of hope actually shining in his voice. "Let me put it into a simple perspective, she can manipulate boundaries. Anything that can be classified as a border or boundary is hers to control." Patchouli said, simplifying Yukari's ability. "So basically she's omnipotent?" Argo summarized, having done a quick think about that statement. "Far from it, but she's easily the most powerful person alive." Vaati pointed out. "Actually it's debatably if either she or the Yama is more powerful." Patchouli muttered into Vaati's ear as she pulled herself out of the pile of snow.
"Could she bring back someone who's… soul is still here but their body isn't?" Kirito asked. "You don't think?" Asuna asked Kirito after he had asked that question, to which Kirito nodded. "No idea." Vaati admitted. "Probably…" Patchouli thought out loud.
Omega E The Reader: So any more thoughts on what was shown?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Nothing truly glaring. What about you?
Omega E the Reader: Nothing to see here.
"Don't dash their hopes you two, and to answer you question I wouldn't be able to do it in the real world." Someone said, everyone at the table looking up and seeing a woman with long blond hair in a purple dress sitting on what looked like a hole with eyes in it. "Yukari I presume?" Argo asked. "In the flesh." Yukari admitted, still sitting on her gap. "And you all are not that at all, your data." Yukari quipped. "Thanks for the memo, we got it about four years ago." Klein said sarcastically as he slammed his head onto the table for some reason. "Is he ok?" Vaati asked. "He's fine, just brooding." Agro said, waving them off.
"Now then, what's this about bringing someone back?" Yukari asked, crossing her legs and pulling her parasol out of the gap she was sitting on, opening it up above her head. "You just said you couldn't do it." Agil said, referring to what Yukari had opened her entrance with. "I said in the real world big man, the virtual world has a lot more things to manipulate." Yukari corrected him, before looking down at Kirito, eying the necklace he was wearing under his shirt, the chain just barely visible. "Then would you be able to… bring back Yui." Kirito asked, looking up at Yukari with Asuna by his side. "Yui?" Vaati asked, no one giving her a response though.
"If she is dead, I can't bring her back… unless you have her soul on you." Yukari said, eyeing the necklace as Kirito pulled it off of him, holding it out, the blue tear shaped jewel at the end shining, Yui's Heart. "She's inside this jewel, I had to do it to keep the Cardinal System from deleting her." Kirito said, Yukari closing her umbrella and using it to grab the necklace from Kirito and putting it in her own hand. "This I can fix. But a favor for a favor, you'll be coming back with us to the real world." Yukari said, holding the jewel out as Kirito and Asuna looked between each other and then at the others. "I just want to get out of this place." Liz said, having remained silent along with Silica for the entire conversation up until this point. "This is a chance to get out of here… not actually a bad deal." Agil said, putting his hand on his chin as he thought deeply. "Whatever… it's not going to bring those dead back." Klein muttered, not caring. "I'm behind you all the way Kiri." Argo said, stretching as she got out of her chair.
"No objections?" Yukari asked, Kirito turning around and looking up, nodding for the rest of the group as Yukari nodded. "Then let's get started." Yukari said, tapping the tear shaped jewel with her finger, the jewel glowing brightly as a large flash of light took place, everyone covering their eyes before it died down. "I can't see…" Vaati muttered, blinking her eyes as the light had blinded her temporarily. "It will pass." Patchouli muttered, coughing for a moment as Yukari held her arms out with a shocked expression on her face, in her arms was a girl that looked like the metaphorical child of Kirito and Asuna, sleeping soundly as Yukari willed her gap to move down, Kirito holding out his arms and grabbing Yui from Yukari as Asuna looked at her and Kirito's adopted daughter with some tears in her eyes. "You all are ready to go, yes?" Yukari asked.
"I still have stuff in my shop, and I don't think my inventory is going to carry over into the real world." Agil said, everyone else looking at him as Argo tried to smack his arm, the short girl only managing to get halfway up the tall black man's arm before huffing in annoyance. "Like you really need it?" Yukari asked. "Sorry, force of habit, a merchant has to keep stock of his inventory." Agil said. "Can't fault him for that one." Vaati pointed out, only to get pegging by a snowball Yukari pulled out of the gap. Her face covered in snow Vaati wiped it off before sighing. "Can I just go home now..." She asked, annoyed. "By all means, I'll see you two later, and Mokou as well." Yukari said, waving as a gap opened under the chairs Patchouli and Vaati were sitting in, dropping them in before closing as outside Mokou fell into a gap face first having been woken up by it suddenly opening beneath her.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And here we go.
Omega E The Reader: Yukari showing up.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Took her long enough.
Omega E The Resder: How come she didn't show up earlier?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Not a clue.
Omega E The Reader: Is it for her master plan?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Likely, but that's assuming she DOES have a master plan.
Omega E The Reader: Exactly. She doesn't probably even have a master plan for that matter.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And the author might've just been improvising the story as it went along, too.
Omega E The Readed: He didn't even have a clue for what he had planned.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Exactly.
Omega E The Reader: Also, why didn't Yukari prevent the deaths of the other morally good SAO characters from the various servers? If she knew about them why hasn't she done anything?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Because she's an idiot and a loser that is a slave to the many shortcomings of the plot.
Omega E The Reader: Considering the fact that she failed to save Madoka friends and her family…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord. She's really awful at her job.
Omega E The Reader: I can agree. She should be fired from her job.

"Now then, with them out of the way, I wish to send you all on your way as well… I still have to find where the other half of the search party went." Yukari said, rolling her eyes as Klein pulled his head up from the table. "You're not going to drop us through the floor are you?" He asked in a dull voice. "No you all are walking." Yukari said, snapping her fingers as a gap opened before the group of survivors. "Make sure that you have everything you want to keep on you before you step through that, now if you will excuse me, I'm a little busy." Yukari said, letting herself fall backwards into the gap she was sitting on before it closed, leaving the SAO survivors alone with the gap in the tavern.
Kirito and Asuna looked at each other before nodding, Kirito carrying Yui as they stepped though the gap, Klien following them along with Argo and Silica, leaving Agil and Liz still in the tavern. "How much can you carry in your arms?" Liz asked. "I would hazard about seventy pounds." Agil replied, Liz opening her menu and pulling out several items and dumping them in a pile. "Grab as much as you can and come on." Liz said, scooping up a good portion of the pile, followed by Agil picking up the rest as the two of them walked through the gap with their bounty, the gap closing behind them.
But down on the sixth floor Philia, Reisen, Rumia, Daiyousei and Wriggle were all looking at the currently past out Kaguya, who had gone for nearly five hours straight of blasting anything she could see. "Guess even immortals need rest then?" Philia asked, Reisen sighing and holding her hand to her face. "She doesn't get out much alright, she's normally much calmer." Reisen admitted, just wondering when the hell this nightmare would end. "I think it's about time to put the crazy princess back in her gilded cage." Someone said, Philia and Reisen looking up and seeing a woman with long blonde hair and a purple dress with a parasol leaning out of a gap upside down.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And that's the extent of Kaguya's role, pretty much.
Omega E The Reader: Being a useless NEET.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And indirectly finding ONE girl.
Omega E The Reader: She's pretty useless, in all honesty.
Sin Count: 2780
"Please tell me this nightmare is over…" Philia asked, not even caring who this woman was. The woman, Yukari, huffed in slight annoyance that Philia wasn't even phased by her entrance. "Yes I'm here to get you all out of this mess." Yukari said dully, annoyed as the girls and Kaguya were dropped into gaps, leaving Reisen and Philia alone with Yukari. "I'm going to ask this right now, what kind of youkai would you prefer being. If you don't have any ideas I'm defaulting, you to being like your bunny eared friend here." Yukari said, pointing her parasol at Reisen, still hanging upside down. "I'm a moon rabbit Yukari!" Reisen yelled, shaking her fist at Yukari. "Like it matters." Yukari said, pointing as Philia and waving her parasol. "Come on, you don't have all day, I have one more stop to make." Yukari said annoyed as Philia shrugged. "I have got no idea what you are talking about lady, so go ahead, anything to just get out of here." Philia said, just wanting to finally leave Aincrad. "Fine." Yukari said, almost with slight reluctance as she pointed her parasol at Philia, the digital girl shivering for a moment as actual feeling returned to her after nearly two years a pair of white lumps forming on top of her head as a small puff ball tail formed just above her pants, the white lumps on her head extending into similar ears as Reisen.
Philia blinked for a moment as everything seemed clearer, more real as she looked towards the corner of her vision, the lack of any values or indicators allowing her a sigh of relief as she wrapped her arms around herself, actually feeling for the first time in a long time with her actual senses. "Alright, now get going, you two are going straight back to Eintei." Yukari said, a gap opening under Reisen and Philia suddenly, dropping them into it and to Eintei with Kaguya.
"And now for the big one… this is going to be a mess." Yukari muttered, annoyed as she flipped back upwards as the gap she was hanging out of closed, leaving Aincrad on it's lonesome… the empty floating castle in a virtual world…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Moon rabbits are not youkais. Earth rabbits are, but moon rabbits are not.
Omega E The Reader: I mean sure. Reisen claims to be a rabbit youkai...but it's to cover up the fact that she's a moon rabbit. Moon rabbits would technically be aliens.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: In other words, Philia would be more likely to be turned into an earth rabbit.
Omega E The Reader: Like Tewi. Who is an earth rabbit if you are all wondering.

The Aincrad survivors walked out of the gap and into a large arena, Kirito moving his sleeping daughter slightly as Asuna followed him with a slight smile on his face, Klein looking around at the area around them with disdain as Silica and Argo stared at the arena as well. "Make way, coming through." Liz said, walking with Agil before dumping their piles of supplies on the dirt, Liz breathing heavily as she drop them before holding her hands to her knees.
"So… now what?" Klein asked, looking around the arena before setting his eyes on a large throne up at the northern edge of the Arena, a small girl sitting in it, with a maid flanking her as Vaati and Patchouli sat in a pair of chairs off to her side, two more empty chairs on the other side of the throne. The girl in the chair looking down at the arena and raising her hand to her maid, stopping the conversation she had been having with her before standing up to her tiny three feet of height and walking to the edge of the platform. "Well… if it isn't the survivors of Aincrad, the floating castle in the sky. I welcome you all to Gensokyo, and to the Scarlet Devil Mansion." The girl said, throwing her arms out to her sides in a theatrical display as the Aincrad survivors stared at the girl, Kirito looking at her like she was crazy before gasping in slight shock at the pair of bat wings coming from the girl's back. "Asuna stay back… she's a vampire." Kirito muttered as he held Yui close.
The girl evidently noticed this as she tilted her head with a smirk. Walking off the edge of her platform and gently floating down to the ground of the arena, her maid disappearing and reappearing next to her in an instant, standing protectively over the girl's shoulder. The girl herself, despite her diminutive size, held an air of power and regality. "Now now, is that anyway to treat your host?" The vampire said, throwing her arms out to her side and clearly enjoying her theatrics.
"I was under the impression Yukari was going to be leading us here and getting rid of our humanity." Argo snarked. "She's not wrong about one thing." The maid muttered, rolling her eyes as the Vampire continued with her large smirk. "She has past that honor and duty down to me for you lot. It's my choice who becomes what, though she's doing most of the transforming… though I think most of you can guess what I can do on my own." The vampire said, flashing her fangs as Kirito held Yui closer and pushed Asuna behind him, he knew she could take care of herself, but it was more protective instinct then anything else.
"For I am Remilia Scarlet, the Lady of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and hostess of Gensokyo's Scarlet Tournament… and I personally welcome you to Gensokyo." Remilia said, having had enough of her own theatrics… for now. "Great… so someone among us is going to become Vampires… welp enjoy not being able to deal with sunlight." Argo snarked, already starting to walk off before Klein grabbed her shoulder and pointed up, Argo looking up before having to pull her eyes away from the… "o…" Argo mouthed, Remilia standing there with a smirk, tapping her foot. "You were saying?" Remilia said, chuckling a bit as her red eyes scanned the group of survivors. "Tell me Sakuya, do you have any good ideas for what we should have them changed into?" Remilia asked her maid, trying to instill a small sense of fear among the survivors as Sakuya herself took a long look at the group. Most of them standing strong, Klein not caring as Liz was still panting, Agil looking at them with a thoughtful expression as Silica was trembling slightly in fear, Argo had her hands behind her head and was watching them back, something Sakuya could mark as the eyes of a spy, one who could gather intelligence with remarkable ease.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Yeah...that's actually happening.
Omega E The Reader: Oh yes...I believe it might be that time of day once more...
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Which is...
But her blue eyes found themselves drawn towards Kirito, Yui and Asuna, Kirito still clutching his unconscious daughter with Asuna standing behind him, her hands on her rapier, ready to pull it out at a moment's notice. "I believe I have found the perfect choice Lady Remilia." Sakuya said, disappearing as she stopped time. Within a second Kirito and Asuna found themselves before Remilia, Yui still in Kirito's arms as their weapons were perched on the platform above them, Kirito and Asuna looking directly down at Remilia as she smiled, Sakuya behind them with her hands behind her back. "Excellent choice Sakuya." Remilia said as Kirito and Asuna found themselves on their knees. "Leave her alone." Kirito growled, Remilia moving closer to him before whispering in his ear.
"Just go with it… it's all part of the act, and better this then something like a normal youkai or fairy." Remilia whispered in his ear, Asuna hearing her small kindness as Remilia pulled back from Kirito's neck and pressing her hand to Yui's. "It won't hurt, Sakuya will make sure of that… Won't you?" Remilia muttered, Sakuya nodding as she stopped time once more.
It was over in less then an instant as to anyone else Remilia and Sakuya didn't move as small fang marks appeared on the necks of Kirito, Asuna and Yui, any form of blood from the injuries wiped away as the wounds were already closing. Instantly Kirito and Asuna had shot their hands up to their necks, feeling the small holes as Kirito looked down at Yui, removing his hand from his own neck to cover hers. "You'll feel a little weak for a while, but it'll pass once your wings grow out… Sakuya, take them to their new rooms." Remilia said quietly, before commanding loudly at Sakuya to take the survivors to their rooms, Sakuya snapping her fingers as time stopped once more, Sakuya disappearing once more as the SAO survivors disappeared as well, the maid having moved them each to a different room besides Kirito and his family before reappearing next to Remilia. "Done." Sakuya said informally, sighing as she allowed herself a moment of respite from what she had done.
"Always on for the theatrics Remilia… one day we need to have a contest between you and Marisa on who's better at that." Vaati said quietly, her and Patchouli having sat back and enjoyed the show. "Thank you, I shall be here for the next millennia." Remilia said sarcastically as she took a bow along with Sakuya for their performance. "I wonder how our new guests are feeling." Patchouli semi asked, she clearly knew the answer, as they all did. "Angry, scared, bored, take your pick." Sakuya said, listing the different emotions they could be feeling off on her fingers as Remilia turned around. "One day I'll get you too." Remilia remarked, flashing her fangs as Sakuya shook her head. "In your dreams mistress…" Sakuya said, shaking her head as she rolled her eyes.
Omega E The Reader: Transforming them all into vampires.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: When vampires are the most underutilized characters in the plot. As if Remilia wasn't being pushed aside enough...
Omega E The Reader: Yeah. She's becoming irrelevant.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: She doesn't even partake in fights.
Omega E The Reader: Just let's her GUARD do all the work.

BGM: Sword Art Online Orignal Soundtrack Vol 1 22 A tender Feeling
Kirito shot up in the bed he was currently in breathing hard, one moment he had been kneeling before Remilia, and now he was… in a fancy room with a large bed? Looking to his other side he looked down, seeing Yui still sleeping between him and Asuna, who was laying face face up on the bed, breathing slightly hard as if in pain. He couldn't deny the dull pain he himself was feeling as he brought his hand to his neck, feeling the slowly closing fang wounds on his neck as he slowly got out of the bed, stumbling slightly on his feet as he felt weak, the sound of his stumbling getting Asuna to open her eyes and sit up in the bed. "Kirito… please tell me we didn't just become vampires…" Asuna said softly, as she rubbed her eyes before looking down at Yui with a slight smile on her face.
"It happened… and I think I need to get back in the bed." Kirito groaned as he pulled himself back into the bed and lay down in dull pain as Asuna put her hand over Yui and onto his face. "You'll live big man." Asuna said with a small smile as she lay down herself, both of them looking at Yui as she breathed slightly the Ai turned girl, now turning vampire finally blinking her eyes open after all that had happened.
"Daddy… why do I feel… sore." Yui muttered as she opened her eyes, laying eyes on Kirito as he smiled slightly. "You're alive Yui… that's all that matters, now flip over." Kirito said, laying his hand on Yui's side as she slowly turned over. "Mommy!" Yui cried, trying to pull herself up, but failing from weakness as Asuna smiled at her, wrapping her own arm around Yui. "It's ok Yui's Mommy and Daddy are here, Cardinal is not going to get you, not anymore." Asuna coddled her. "Just go to sleep Yui… the pain will pass… I hope." Kirito said weakly through his own pain as he lay his arm on Yui. "Ok daddy…" Yui said quietly as she rolled over, facing upwards with her parents as all three of them looked at the red ceiling before closing their eyes and allowing themselves to rest. With all that had happened it didn't matter what happened after this, they were just a family happy to be together again.

AN: And that's the end of the SAO part of the Virtual World Arc, and I'm pretty sure most of you know exactly where Yukari went. But yeah, now we have Philia the Rabbit Youkai, more Moon rabbit then Tewi, but now we have the gun nut rabbit and the knife nut rabbit. I have plans for this. And Remilia being… well Remilia, but Kirito, Asuna and Yui are now Vampires… kinda fits Kirito if you ask me. We'll see Shino later and I'll say it right now, yes she's basically her ALO avatar, without the wings. So Catgirl sniper… fear for your heads. But next chapter is the final part of the ALO segment, and then one more chapter on the aftermath. And then we FINALLY! Get to send Marisa to hell… and rember that joke about Marisa only getting a suit if they were sending her to hell?
Omega E The Reader: Oh…I actually HOPE she gets sent to hell. She has been nothing more than being a Mary Sue and stealing precious spotlight with the other protagonist Reimu.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Committing so many crimes against quality writing that Hell is the only place she belongs to.
Omega E The Reader: The same applies to Meiling.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And Cirno.
Omega E The Reader: These three make up the triumvirate of the Mary Sue favorites of Vaati.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Hence why they each have a Mary Sue Count.
