>Don't let her recover, back to the danmaku spam!
>Are our spellcards recharged yet?

> You all unleash a barrage of nonspells, but Yuki, despite having taken a beating, still clearly has fight left in her, evadeing, or using small fireballs to defend herself, however, she can't find an opening to attack. It seems, despite her clearly being stronger than you alone, without Mai she can't take you all on very well.

> None of the spellcards used in this fight have recharged, and they are unlikly to do so, since both of yours were Lunatic-grade, and Moonlight Ray was dispelled. Mystica's Song of the Night Sparrow might recharge, being only the Normal version, but it'll take a while.

> You can start to feel a chill from Mai and Cirno's battlefeild, despite Yuki's fire. Those two are really going at it, and the battle, despite involveing a fairy of all things, is a spectical of beauty with the shimmering, shattered ice shards in the air, glistening with the light filtered through the inside of the windows of the Earth Palace, danmaku, and the fires Yuki throws.

> "Snow Sign Diamond Blizzard!" Cirno cries, before basically unleashing what can only be described as an indiscriminate spam attack, with thousands of small icicles flying everywhere. Includeing towards your battlefeild.

>While we're at it, adjust the darkness to cover just us and Yuki so she can't dodge well either.

> You decide to charge at Yuki, and Wriggle notices what you're doing, and takes the initiative! She's better in close combat than you anyway.

>While we're at it, adjust the darkness to cover just us and Yuki so she can't dodge well either.

> You cover Yuki in darkness instead when you realise what Wriggle will do.

> "Wriggle Kick!" she cries, moving with a burst of speed, before kicking Yuki before she could defend herself, sending her closer to Cirno's spam, getting her hit by a fairly large amount of her danmaku due to being winded.

> Wriggle hisses in some pain from a burn on her back. It seems Yuki managed to burn her in the exchange, despite not being able to block, she managed to make contact with some fire spell. The burn dosen't look that bad, but Wriggle's already hurt from her earlier fight.

> Yuki falls face-first to the ground.

>And if that works, follow it up with Lunar Eclipse! We're goin' all out!

> Cirno's spam attack is still going on. It's hazardous to get close, so you wait for it to end.

> "Well then... now I can get serious..." Mai said coldly, her wings suddenly more than in size, going from small wings that hardly went past her arms to impressive wings that made Mystcia's eyes bulge from envy. "I'm sure Yuki wore you all down, now then... prepare to have your lifes ended... Ninth Circle: Treachery" Yuki announced.

> Chains shoot up from the ground at incredible speed, made of ice, catching all five of you and pulling you to the ground, and also stopping Cirno's spamming.

> "The Ninth Circle of Hell... the circle which is said to hold Satan himself, entombed in a lake of ice, for the act of treason against God himself. Binded by the ice of the Ninth Circle, I can finish you at my leisure..." Mai said, her voice had something... scary in it. It was also clear that whatever that attack was, it wasn't a spellcard. Spellcards inherantly are possible to evade, this wasn't, and didn't use danmaku anyway.

>So this must be her power then huh? Since our power doesn't need danmaku.

>Let's try breaking the ice with lasers! After all, laser beats ice!

> "If you want to call a magical spell power, do so." Mai said.

> You can't fire a laser from your position, your lasers are fired in front of you, and your front is on the ground.

> "I can't... make this ice move..." Cirno said.

> Suddenly, Kogasa closes her umbrella, and her human form vanishes, allowing her to fly out from under the chains before they can tighten.

> "Well, it's one - on - one. You have no chance." Mai taunted.

> I already used my only spellcard with lasers... wait, I have an idea!

> "Umbrella: Super Water Repelling Bone-Dry Monster!" Kogasa cried, opening back up and createing a blue sphere around herself, before a massive flurry of water danmaku flew at Mai, who just clicked her fingers and froze them.

> "Cirno! The ice!" Kogasa shouted.

> Cirno blinks, and actually gets the idea, letting the frozen rain droplets collect into larger icicles... which slam into the chains, breaking them.

> Mai looks furious. Kogasa's spellcard is still ongoing.

>"Here I go~! This might sting a little though."
>Time to fire off Lunar Eclipse at full power!

> "Eclipse Sign! Lunar Eclipse!" you cry. This is the first time you've actually used this in battle... so you're all in here!

> You fire moonlight rays to box Mai in, like in your Moonlight Ray spellcard, but the shots that follow afterwards are the criss-crossing waves of Demarcation, as well as the aimed arcs, giving Mai very little room to dodge. Combined with Kogasa's attack, she ends up taking the full brunt of one of your arcs, before she gets hit by Kogasa's spell as a result, and then knocked into one of the moonlight rays.

> The spells both end, a sign that the fight is over, considering that yours certainly had time left. Mai is standing there, her wings returned to their previous state, looking charred, and having some damaged clothing. She's standing next to Yuki's unconcious body.

> "That energy... in that beam... it can't be." she said, picking up Yuki. "Who are you... the one dressed in black? You manipulate darkness, and the energy in those rays... it can't be. Is your name... Rumia?" Mai sounds worried for some reason, and pauses, looking uncomfortable before saying your name.

>Float over with an oblivious smile to get a closer look. "You know, you were pretty strong. That was actually the first time I've used that last spellcard, even I'm surprised at how strong it was~!"

> "What... what is Rumia doing here?! I have to tell Lady Shinki!" Mai says, sounding paniced, heading back to the portal, carrying Yuki.

> You float over closer smileing, causing Mai to recoil away. "That's nothing... that was nothing, that attack was nothing... dear Shinki I'm lucky that you're in this state..."

> Mai keeps heading for the portal.

> "You don't need to meet to know of someone...." she says, almost at the portal now.

> You have no idea what she's talking about, but the uneasy feeling you were getting from the portal is getting stronger the closer you get.

> You move back from the portal. Upon stateing about your headache, Wriggle flies over.

> "You OK Rumia? She was just messing with you, I'm sure, making your head hurt. Mybe she even was trying to lure you in with her. I dunno." Wriggle said.

> You fire a shot at the portal. It closes about two seconds after you hit it.

> "Did you do that or did they close it?" Mystcia asked.

> "Rumia... I'm worn out, can't we take five? We need to recharge our spells anyway..." Wriggle said.

> "Yeah..." Kogasa added.

> Even Cirno was panting a little. It seems fighting Mai one on one wore her out.

> Oddly enough, you don't feel tired. You consider this odd, seeing as you used three Lunatic spells, one being Total Eclipse.

> Indeed.

> You fly towards the area where the portal was, and before you get there, you realise several things. Firstly, you can see the site from a fair distance away... because the houses are all ruined. Secondly, the portal is gone. Thirdly, there is a brunette wearing purple standing where the portal was, with a large number of injured youkai around her. She seems to be tending to them.
