[THE EVENTS OF THE SOLSTICE]
---------------------------

[IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER]
>Chen bears the Gap and Yukari's shadow;
>Reimu's power is multiple Hakurei mikos whose bodies are "origami" and "paper-like", none with a face. She burns her eight chakras to keep them going. As of now, Marisa, Reimu, Hana and Yukari can see those mikos. Aside from the massive boost in speed/strength and fires that directly hurt, Reimu can command the Hakurei mikos to viciously attack with great power, as seen by Koutei, or sacrifice themselves to protect. After linking themselves, Hana can also control the mikos, to the greater detriment of Reimu's health;
>Reimu has 1.5 chakras now;
>Hana's power has evolved from moving solely through non-Euclidean space to now also moving through non-Euclidean time, and by her words only "move through the next 1000 miliseconds";
>Douji's power is the wielding of the explainable, opposite of Yuugi's wielding of the unexplainable;

			[MAKAI PLAN DIDN'T WORK, Patchy mogged]
				>Fight continues in the HSE as normal;
	//////////////////////////////////////////////////key events of the set////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
		[KEY EVENTS OF SET]
			>The HSE is crumbling apart, and Aya dodges one of Flan's clones, but get caught and harmed. Suwako destroys the clone and, together wih Ran who's closing all Gaps Yukari opens and Suwako who's protecting Ran, Aya concocts a plan to save Anon;
			>Half of Douji has awoken and disposes Reimu of one arm. They fight for seven seconds, almost enough to kill Reimu, but she perseveres and, before Douji could gloat about her raping Hana, Kasen returns and stops Douji, commencing a fight for dominance. Reimu licks her wounds and activates her "Flames of Hakurei", being strong enough to parry Koutei's sword away, though it's unclear if he was attacking to cause damage or just to distract as he follows to help Kasen immediately. Reimu is joined by Marisa and the Palanquin vs. Koutei and Ibaradouji(?);
			>Yachie has turned on Yukari (allegedly) and told Biten to kill Konngara in the case they can't win against Toutetsu. Now Konngara is badly hurt and facing Tetsu, Biten and a bunch of otter spirits, who murdered the white wolves;
			>Suika was supressing Koutei from gathering magic in his magic well with her ability, but after Douji awakened, Koutei rushed to help Kasen, harming Okuu on the way. Suika chose to trust Reimu with keeping Koutei in check so he doesn't destroy Gensokyo and went to save Okuu from death. Satori guided the surviving oni out of the battlefield and, after a talk with Yuugi, who went to help the Myouren after Koutei hurled them at the HSE's entrance and Team Okina, went with Orin to help Suika and Okuu
			>Patchouli defends the HSE by caging Makai in a big fucking wooden hand that makes the forest into a flood and, when the Palanquin would've hit the building full-force and destroy it, invokes a black hole for a nanosecond that stops the Palanquin's momentum, a very costly maneuver that ends with her collapsing for a few moments. Decides to name the black hole spell "Völuspá".
			>Remilia challenges Hana to a duel after pretty much mogging every one else with her dodges and counterattacks and scrutinizing Hana for hiding behind her mothers and claiming herself as a Hakurei even if she's seemingly abandoned the Hakurei shrine. She presents herself and her history to Hana in more detail after encaging the two of them in a prison of hellfire, and promises Hana that she will be ready for her war of the solstice within a minute. They commence fighting;
			>The Palanquin is turned upside down after hitting the HSE by Goro and Seija's power and, after exchanging a plea with Goro and Seija for them to stop and seek a loophole in their contract with Yukari, the immediate interior of the HSE changes due to their powers;
			>Toutetsu battles with Konngara with support from Son Biten and the Kicchou gang members, and Konngara dies. The bodies of the wolves are butchered by the gang members, and Biten explains it is to look like Toutetsu did it. Kicchou explains further her plans and, upon bringing Chen to the conversation and saying she can save her in the scenario that Yukari wins and Chen isn't dead already, if Toutetsu keeps her silence about Kicchou's alibities;
			>Reimu and Marisa dodge Koutei's attack and, with her fire powering her, Reimu pummels Koutei. Marisa takes advantage of their distraction and, with the spell woven into Reimu's uniform, has an easier time using her magical device to uncover the secrets of the fire, doing so reveals Reimu is dying due to her fire. Marisa lunges at her and violently tries to "convince" her to stop, but Reimu denies it. Holstering Marisa on her back since the magician lost her broom, Reimu watches as Koutei sinks his sword into the ground and starts glowing, the trees around the market distric dying simultaneously. She feels something big is coming;
			>The Myouren and Goro/Seija fight in the entrance. They are feeling each other before any meaningful battle starts, with four rando monks keeping a big barrier;
			>Hana and Remilia fight inside the thunderdome, with Remilia clowning on the miko, though she's doing that to prepare Hana for people much worse, like Yukari, and has no intentions of killing Hana;
			>Dolly experiences doll PTSD watching Remilia kill dolls, then is saved by Shanghai before she could be executed. The Hakurei God scolds her;
			>The jobbers ally with Sakuya after a little questionnaire, Sanae having knocked out Koakuma before. She convinces them to join her (no info as of now). Seiga, meanwhile, recalls a conversation with Yukari in which they started plotting against Remilia and the others, with Yukari promising that Seiga would take the seat as sage. Her dozzing off is cut short when Sakuya, Yuuka, and Mima attack and surround here;
			>Hana "floats" over one of Remilia's attacks after she goes through some mental parsing, and following a little squabble, Hana wins by mastering her ability to non-Euclideanly travel through space and now through time. Remi admits defeat and, upon unclocking the area, they see Koutei preparing his supermove;
			>Reimu and Marisa talk a little in the skies, and Reimu divulges she's got about 36 minutes left of power before she dies. Marisa denies that and prays to the goddess of magic Mima, getting enough magic power to carve a path towards Koutei for Reimu. They rush to stop him from destroying Gensokyo;
			>Yuuka, Sakuya and Mima talk a bit about Seiga before rushing her, with Yuuka wondering why they were so cautious with someone as weak as Seiga. Sakuya then disclosures about her treatment of Anon and how Seiga in the environment of the Solstice is incredibly dangerous. They then fight a little against the Wicked Hermit, but she shows her immense growth and easily dodges everything, and ends with her piercing Yuuka's neck after provoking her during the lightining showers;
			>Hana watches the destruction done by Koutei before begging Alice, Aunn, Remilia and Sanae to go with her help Reimu and Marisa. The Hakurei God comes forth and says that it is impossible since everyone either wouldn't last amidst the rain of Danmaku + electricity or are too battered to even move, in Remilia's case; he then talks to Hana about her powers, and she goes on about its little things, before saying goodbye and against the others' wishes rush to help her mother and sensei;
			>Seiga displays the lenghts of her power by showing an unded Kirin she's enslaved and dressed to look like Hana. Yuuka, on the cusp of death, enters rage phase and creates a sink hole with a massive forest right underneath the village, putting distance between her and Seiga. Mima goes for the save as Yuuka falls to her death;
			>The Myourens inch into the HSE and towards the Fake Shrine, likely to save Yukari, but keep getting pestered by the Jaku Duo. Murasa brings forth a weird ball of magic that creates a fuckton of water to flood the halls;
			>Reimu and Marisa manage to get up close and personal with Koutei and nigh get him to drop his sword, but Reimu suddenly freezes and starts crying, which Marisa understands it's because of her root chakra burning off. Koutei aims to kill the helpless miko and magician with a beam made of the energy he intends to use to kill Gensokyo, but Hana comes in clutch and saves them with her non-Euclidean time powers and, in desperation, manages to wake Reimu off her pain trance. Pushing through the pain, Reimu concocts a plan where Hana carries Marisa and she hides herself in the Master Spark through her floating. It works, but Marisa's mini-Hakkero, taken to its limit, explodes and knocks the magician unconcious and thus Reimu without a defense against Koutei's danmaku, and she ends up getting eaten. That sends Hana into a frenzy, and she lunges as Koutei prepares his death beam, only to be stopped by Reimu's flames coming from within him;
			>The fight of Goro and Seija vs. Myouren continues in the halls, with Murasa preparing to flood the halls even further with new aqua charges;
			>Yukari spergs at Hijiri as they fight, going on about her yandere-isms while suffering inside from her traumas. She provokes Hijiri to such an extent the nun loses her cool and gets donut'd by Yukari, a hit through the belly. Unsure if her baby is dead. Meanwhile, the others crafted a plan that started with Kanako creating an uncontrollable tornado that hurled many weird rocks Yukari had recognized as not being part of the HSE, Okina dealing with Flandre and her clone directly. The maneuver made Yukari think and figure out Ran was left unprotected, and in that single moment of she considering their weaponized autismo, she missed Aya flying by inside an onbashira disguised amidst the rocks: she busted out of it, hit the Flan clone from behind and destroyed Anon's prison with one of Ran's seals. Hijiri kamikazes herself with Yuukari as she's unable to properly use her Gaps, and the whole of the HSE explodes. Aya and the others are safe as Okina's star served as some sort of panic button that took them all away before the explosion;
			>Hana joins Sanae, Remilia and Alice to get Reimu out of Koutei's jugular after realizing she couldn't pierce his skin with her blessings. They jump him and, with Suika's help, manage to get Hana inside him. There, Hana tries to get Reimu out, but she refuses since losing concentration or changing her powers would get them killed, but Hana doesn't care and try to force it to no avail. A moment later, however, the fiery butterfly that's been around Hana since she got her new powers lands on Reimu's body, and reaching to it,  Hana somehow gets view of the truth of her mother's power and a semblance of control/symbiose with it, as using her noneuclidean powers get the paper-like mikos to attack Koutei. It gets him killed, giving Reimu and Hana safe passage out of it, though Reimu is out of it as that maneuver seems to have used an entire chakra core of hers. Kasen appears then and, upon seeing Koutei's dead body, loses control of herself and Ibaradouji dominates;
			>The HSE explodes;

	[SET 3 -- Sword in the Lake]
		[KEY EVENTS OF SET]
		>Goro and Seija go to Sekai's world and trade a little of themselves (Seija's her bad attitude and Goro's his voice) for his children's lives;
		>Yukari awakes some untold time after the HSE explodes and has a minor panick attack about how she was almost defeated and killed inside the Fake Shrine, and it worsens to the point she thinks about leaving and taking Yuyuko's offer but, just as she's doing that, she hears and finds Flandre dying. Her traumas come back full force and she saves her with the Gap, emboldened by her "breaking the curse" of her trauma, she even change Flan's eye colors to purple before leaving her in her room (unespecified) and facing the mushroom cloud that becomes Sekai's tree and hearing the whispers of Onikirimaru;
		>Hana witnesses the return of Ibaradouji, who claims she'll make Hana her bride and Anon her breeding stock before going on about how much she longs for a feast and how elated she is Yukari founded a religion in her name, whose faith has restored her powers. She then devours Koutei's whole flesh and blood before leaving Hana to be found by Okina's team and reuniting with her Father, who has discovered Aya has had four of his childrean. Meanwhile, Douji assaulted Makai and, apparently, killed everybody inside;
		>Takane witnessed the explosion of the HSE;
		>Patchy and Meiling met before the explosion and have a little quarrel with Patchy noticing how much physical damage Meiling had taken, who in turn pointed how much damage Patchy took. They make amends just as the HSE explodes with Meiling saving them both. Witnessing the explosion and not knowing if Flandre survived, Patchy has a little moment of mourning for the vampire and Sekai, and soon the tree spawns. The women rush to get the ritual going, but Patchy notices the tree is sinking into the ground due to gravity and the lower floors of the HSE and, not knowing if that could fuck up the ritual, they waste precious seconds until Meiling takes her by the waist, flies directly below Sekai's tree and just fucking holds it;
		>Yuugi, lost in the messed up halls of the HSE, gets caught in the explosion but survives, rushing then to the tree meaning to find Yukari so they could have a rematch. She finds Goro, Seija and their kids instead. They have a tender moment and beg Yuugi to take them to Yukari so they can try to convince her one last time she might have a speck of a nice person inside of her and not be a total megalomaniacal monster. Yuugi agrees after the duo uses the Keine Card of jostling your baby into the arms of a incredibly dangerous (((foe))), and they set up to Youkai Mountain;
		>Suika talks to Okina about what they should do against Yukari and Douji, with the scenario looking grim. Before Suika could reveal Douji's power to Okina, Anon has a PTSD attack and refures to leave to the Moriya Shrine, stating he doesn't want to lose Hana again. Reimu manages to speak words that'd have convinced him should Douji not have appeared on the scene. Okina tries to kill her with Backdoors, but it seems they don't work on Douji, and Douji says she took about 4 minutes to slaughter the whole of Makai, with Okina noticing it's only been 1 minute since the explosion. The mention of Makai's genocide gets under Alice's skin, and her reaction have Douji assuming she's a makaian and thus Douji kills Alice alongisde her dolls despite everyone trying to stop her. Yggdrasil blossoms;
		>Remilia ponders her situation and comes to the conclusion the World Tree is the root of Patchy's secret. Ibaradouji inquires her on the nature of her powers and why she can't kill her, but Remilia gets ready to slug, which pleases Douji;
		>Goro and Seija get to the Moriyan temple and, using their children's powers(?), calm the situation before it becomes a fight. They heal Hijiri and, together with Yuugi, disclosure their plan of presenting said children to Yukari "Mass Murderer" Yakumo;
		>The Jaku duo have a conversation, or half of it, with Byakuren about their decision to show Yukari their children. Plans don't change, and they prepare themselves to get to the Underground;
		>Hana tries to convince her distraught father, her teacher and an oni that she can take Reimu's place in the battle to come. Meanwhile, Remilia and Douji clash, with Douji unable to kill her due to Manipulation of Fate. She spends the battle torturing Remilia with a targeted attack on her hunger for human blood in an attempt to get the info, but Sakuya time-stops and saves Remilia in the nick of time;
		>Remilia drinks Sakuya's blood and despite Douji's gloating, Sakuya encourages her to drink and recover her energy. She stands before Douji who reveals her power to be wielding of the explainable, opposite of Yuugi's. The shock stumps Remi, especially with Douji's detective work around hers and Sakuya's powers. As Remilia prepares herself for a battle she understands she's not winning, Yukari comes into scene;
		>Suika disclosures to Hana, Sanae and Anon Douji's power so Hana can agree to somehow wake up Reimu so she can fight. Hana, however, doesn't bulge and when one of Yukari's Gap appears in the vicinity, she rushes inside and though she loses Reimu by (probably) Sanae's hand, Anon keeps glued to her despite her noneuclidean movement. Meanwhile, Yukari had just reached Douji and told Remilia of Flandre's condition, making the vampire and maid leave to check; Douji and Yukari started to fight, with Yukari taking the combat underground;
		>In the Underground, Douji and Yukari start fighting after the latter tries to take Anon away from the Underground but fails, with Douji spilling her blood to feed the onikirimaru, making it slowly leave the lake. Meanwhile, Hana takes the initiative to protect her father, fighting the oni trying to offer her as sacrifice to Ibaradouji, and the Hakurei god talks to Anon about how he might've messed up and Hana's gonna die, but he reiterate by saying there's something Anon can do;
		>That something ends up being Anon sacrificing Dolly as fuel to cast a Hakurei spell. Anon suffers greatly and has a breakdown, but Dolly decides to give her life after his words. Hana, who until now was fighting to the brink, gets healed and gets access to her powers at 100% capacity, wiping out the onis with ease. Douji approaches her to gloat, but Hana's attack sends her careening to the other end of the Underground, and Hana and Yukari soon meet over the sunken vessel Yukari had brought, with details that paint it as an Ameerican warship. Hana has an aura moment of wearing once more her ascot and pin and, by the time Douji returns, she quotes her mother in being a human shrine maiden that kills (mad) Youkai;
		>Yuuka returns from her dreams to find herself, Sakuya and Mima stuck underground, with constant earthquakes posing danger as well as Seiga attakcing from the shadows. Mima from time to time feeds her powers to Marisa so she can use her Master Spark against Koutei. With Yuuka back, Seiga appears and shows her enhanced powers and how the saturation of death and misery powers her up. Mima spawns a circle of magic beneath her, and the fight starts;
		>Patchy starts the ritual of Sekai's soul, with complications soon arising with her unable to see the night sky and pinpoint celestial movements. However, by starting the ritual using the rest of the book, they get a secret message from Sekai planted 4 million posts ago that offers stuff from their remnants. Meiling powers herself up with Ki and Remnant Patchy, disgruntled with how close the ritual at the SDM was, scribbles a ton of info Patchy might use, with most being useless but not all. Toutetsu comes then;
		>Yukari gets fucking pummeled by Hana's new power and assesses she can attack from the past. Meanwhile, Douji and Hana are going at it, with Douji easily turning the tables after Hana's display of sheer power. Yukari interferes by throwing something massive at them before going on how she and Douji should team up for the while to defeat Hana before other surprises;
		>The two hags team up against Hana for the moment before, using her powers of non-Euclidean time, Hana manages to get the upper hand, with Douji turning against Yukari. They both go all out on her, but the sword awakening changes things, with Hana leaving the fight to save Anon, who's drowning in the lake;
		>Yukari thoroughly loses the battle against Douji, her powers diminished by the hakurei powers against youkai and Douji being busted. Protecting Anon on the shore of the lake, Hana and Anon witness Yukari at her lowest before Douji, wielding onikirimaru, attempts to kill Yukari, only for Kasen to briefly take over (unintentionally(?)) and give Yukari a chance. She slices Kasen's arm off and takes the sword. By then, Reimu arrives with Okina and others before Yukari can kill Hana;
		>Patchy is threatened by Toutetsu on all fronts but holds her ground long enough for Remilia to arrive. She speaks for the first time about Sekai being her and Meiling's daughter, and Remi hears that;
		>A little while before this, Chen had prowled the nuclear mist in the Overworld and almost got herself killed but was saved by Okina. They talk a little and Chen comforts the goddess, who admits her prayer has given her power. Back in the Underground, Goro and Seija try to talk Yukari down, but she fights them, with Seija taking the lead and Goro staying back to stop the nuclear ship Yukari brought from the outside world from vaporizing Youkai Mountain. The fight lasts about 30 seconds, where Okina sends Satori away to save Koishi and herself from the fight after the satori gives important information; Reimu and Anon have a moment; and Hana snaps on Chen, who pleadS that Yukari can be saved. Seija loses, and Goro manages to invoke a hydra of grudges to gobble up the nuclear vessel and keep it stable for the time being;
		>Yukari notices the sword has lost its innate ability of reaping souls and it just echoes them, like Sekai's power. She tests it on Goro by slicing his right arm off and comprehending he's not a slave. The duo is saved before Yukari can kill them and their kids, but the sight of Anon loving Chen after he turned his face away from what would've been her and (((Sekai's))) murder takes her over the edge, and she tries killing Chen and, in her rage, almost asphyxiates Anon. She's stopped by Chen using the Toutetsu side of the talisman to eat(?) her Gaps, with Yukari unable to use them and Chen bleeding them;


	[SET 4 -- Ending]
		[KEY EVENTS OF SET]
		>Anon and Chen are protected by Okina while Reimu and Hana go out to kill Yukari. Anon begs Okina to save Chen, but something Yukari did closed her backdoors and made them unusable for transportation. Ran arrives;
		>Remi wards off Toutetsu and helps Patchy and Meiling with the ritual, puppeteering Patchy with her regained magic (Archblood magic), so she could keep doing the ritual. Patchy tells her the truth;
		>Hana/Reimu vs. Yukari comes to a standstill since no one seems able of finding a gap in the other's defences, so Yukari comes forth and stirs problems by proclaiming she'll make Hana's secrets known to her mother. Meanwhile, Anon sees Ran's dying, which she explains is due to Yukari losing the Gap and thus her source of power. She can save herself by using the talisman to steal back the Gap, but that'd kill Chen, as it is seem the ingrained trauma of losing Yuyuko is what kept the Gaps unconsciously working to keep Chen between the border of life and death. Ran says she'll save Chen instead;
		>Kasen was pondering dying in the radiation of Yukari's nuke, her mind having forgotten the encounter with Sekai, but seeing Yuugi trying to save her and feeling the damange of the radiation (spent too much time with Okuu, radiation isn't unexplainable phenomena anymore to her) gave her motive to fight again. She saves Yuugi and leaves the pond. Yukari sees them and mainly the four-leaved magical clover following Kasen and proclaims it's Sekai;
		>Ran puts Anon to sleep and gives her life to save Chen's (rip...). Meanwhile, Chen meets with Yuyuko after walking through a valley of shadows and loose memories, which she understands are Yukari's, and Yuyuko explains she nows carries Yukari's legacy and power, living in the border between life and death. Chen worries she'll end up like Yukari and why is she getting punished for being a good person, but Yamame's words keep her sane enough, shocking Yuyuko who seemed resigned with Yukari's imminent death and the mistake that was committing suicide. Darkness consumes Chen;
		>Hana joins the battle after talking a bit with Okina, with Reimu on her back, and together the three of them (Hana, Kasen, and Yuugi) try to get Yukari to release her hold on the Onikirimaru so she becomes susceptible to damage. They manage it twice through clever tactics, but the first Kasen chokes, and the second Yukari tricks them and slams Kasen against Hana's Goheis (left is Reimu's, right is hers), weakening Kasen. They keep putting pressure on her, and Yukari goes into rage phase, unleashing a thunderstorm that pierces the ceiling of the Underground and leaves through Youkai Mountain, leaving a big hole in its wake. Unstable, the mountain starts collapsing, with tons of rocks and whatnot flooding through the hole. Suwako, Kanako and Hijiri see that, with the former keeping the shrine from being swept by the landslides and the other two protecting it from falling debris. Hana chooses to go help Okina, who's still suffering from Aya's little prank and has her backdoors closed by the Onikirimaru rather than helping Kasen and Yuugi, which ends with one of them getting their heart pierced through;
		>Kasen was pierced through the heart by the onikirimaru and is reliving a fragment of a talk she had with Sekai but forgotten. In it, they talk a little about Kasen's trauma and soon Douji arrives with the new Onikirimaru. Sekai aids Kasen in the fight and they win, with Kasen coming to terms and accepting Douji as part of herself, not an outlier;
		>Okina held off until Chen woke up and opened a Gap, saving everyone from dying crushed. She joined Suwako and Byakuren then, and they discussed some things before heading off to where Yukari and Kasen were fighting. Suwako headed down the gorge left by Yukari's rage phase alongside one of her mikos and discovered the nuke;
		>Upon waking up, Anon has a panic attack and runs away from the shrine. He regains his senses when Reimu helps him and he sees he's lost his humanity to some extent, his arms spewing fire and a "furnace" inside. Reimu and Hana manage to seal that before it could get too bad. The Hakurei family quarrels but soon things normalize with Anon and Reimu hugging Hana and Aunn who arrives with Kanako. Anon returns with Aunn to the Moriya Shrine, and Hana and Reimu join Kanako, Marisa, Okina and Byakuren to go fight Yukari one last time;
		>Kasen returns to the real world and fights off Yukari, recovers her arm after destroying her Senkai with one blow, and the two of them fight by the world tree. The others join, and the last battle commences;
		>Hana and Reimu together manage to seal away Anon's curse, a furnace, with Anon understanding he's now not entirely human anymore. Reeling, he tells Reimu about Ran's death and unwinds all his spite for her, which brings Hana to tears, who had forgiven Reimu and differentiated the woman she's redeemed herself into and the past monster into Mom and Mother, respectively. Anon and Reimu realise Hana blames herself for everything bad that's happened to them, Reimu living on borrowed time and because she was too weak to resist Yukari's machinations, hurting her father. They agree that while their relationship is dead, they can still act as a family for Hana. They hug and calm her down and it's very adorable. Aunn soon joins. Marisa and Kanako tag along and after some conversation, Anon is sent back to the Moriya and Reimu and Hana join the others to kill Yukari;
		>Chen wakes in Yamame's arms and is told what's happened after they saved everyone from the underground. The homes of her family are gone in the destruction, but due to their earlier contract with Keine, they'll have a spot for themselves in the village. Chen sobs on that and then on herself with the plague she's left with after Ran reconstructed the gap within her (faultily, according to Toutetsu), Yukari's shadow much more prominent now and actively poisoning her mind and manipulating her feelings and emotions and encouraging behaviors she's appalled by. Yamame manages to keep that in check briefly, but then Toutetsu comes from the temporal mist and her words have Chen realize Ran died. She breaks down hard, and Yams babies her until Anon comes around a while later, after staying back in the forest waiting for one of the Aunns to come back with a change of clothes, and Chen talks to him, and though Anon is terrified of Chen's shadow, he hugs and comforts her enough. Chen spirals and fights Shadow Yukari's lust and misery, only finding herself again because of Anon's heart beat. She then asks to be brought to the others after she senses the war is over;
		>Yuyuko has an epiphany that, if Yukari is now powerless without the gap, she can argue for her survival and have her exiled at Hakugyokurou rather than let the others kill her off;
		>Suwako descends into the Underground with Sayori, Sanae's apprentice maiden, and finds Yuugi holding back the concentrated power of the nuke inside Goro's rancor beast. She sends the shrine maiden back to the surface to fetch Okuu, and with the few seconds she's given, she builds protections around Yuugi, dooming the oni, who's glad she goes out like that. The nuke explodes and kills Yuugi, but Suwako's protections resist. It's too much effort and she feels herself slipping fast. Okuu comes to help;
		>Yuuka, Mima and Sakuya manage to put Seiga on the ropes with a tactic that uses Mima's godslaying knife and Sakuya's aptitude with blades, but she's smart and uses the explosion of the HSE to escape. She's later killed off by Mokou, who was hanging around the bamboo forest of the lost with Kaguya at Keine's command. Seiga tried to bargain for her life, but Mokou stomped her head. Kaguya comments that Mokou should clean the mess otherwise it's possible Seiga's body will be consumed and create new Youkai. Mokou says she'll deal with it, though she's tired and overwhelmed on the inside. Keine is hiding in a pocket time frame along with Miko, her religious followers, and the residents of the Human Village. They have a brief conversation, with Miko testing Keine's trust in Mokou to flee with their children should Yukari win the war, leaving Keine to die. The answer makes Miko proud. Back in the war, Yuuka and Mima fight the feral Kirin and are brought to a compromise a few minutes later, where Yuuka keeps killing it again and again through its regeneration while Mima purifies the Kirin and maintains protections to stop the temporal mist from killing them. It's a gruesome endeavor that lasts what seems like days and drains Yuuka greatly, and she eventually breaks down, but she's saved as Mima successfully purifies the Kirin, time not passing within the temporal mist. Mima dies (temporarily), and the Kirin cleanses Gensokyo from the temporal mist after talking to Yuuka. Yuuka joins the battle using what moon-filtered sunlight she accumulated during her time in the temporal mist;
		>Briefly empowered by the four-leaf clover Sekai gave her, Kasen literally drills a hole all the way through Youkai Mountain using Yukari's back until they pop out inside her Senkai and she kicks her towards the tree, destroying her Senkai in the process. She reattaches Douji's arm and completes the merge, meeting Yukari on the tree. Underneath the tree, Patchouli and Meiling finish the ritual, Patchy says some cryptic stuff, and Sekai is reborn, but she's still downloading her data from the tree, so Remilia goes to join the battle against Yukari to protect the tree and her mansion. The others soon join. It's Hana, Reimu, Kasen, Marisa, Kanako, Byakuren, Okina and Remilia against Yukari. Battle ensues, and it's ugly. Yukari is staunch and powerful against a bunch that can barely touch her properly while buffed by the sword. Okina develops a plan to throw her off that involves cutting down the tree and goading Yukari with threats of targeting her baby. Yukari is furious and blunders, but it turns out she'd constructed a plan on top of Okina's and used herself as bait during the attack to steal Reimu's float while she was vulnerable from having another chakra core dead, getting damaged in the process but harnessing most of Reimu's new power and stealing away her invisible mikos. She turns the tables against the others and is on the cusp of killing Kasen for good, but Yuuka, after the temporal mist is dispelled, joins the fray with a big-ass sunflower and laser in tow. Hana gathers the others, now with Sanae and Suika who were imprisoned in the mist, and settles on using her powers to snag away the invisible mikos who Yukari used for support, which would attract Yukari to her and give the others ample time to whale on her. The plan works, with the others including Reimu slowing down Yukari enough, and Yukari suffers a generational jumping: she loses one arm, the sword is taken by Kasen, she gets stabbed through the chest and has half her face blown to bits by Reimu. Yuuka passed out from exhaustion. Yukari's left defeated on the ground and Hana prepares to mercy kill her but is stopped by Yuyuko and Youmu at the last second, who came from nowhere to vouch for Yukari's and her child's lives;
		>After Reimu shatters her Gohei against Yukari's face, she has a moment for herself high up in Gensokyo's stratosphere. She apologizes to her lineage for being foolish and ruining her's, Hana's and Anon's lives and the shrine's reputation, the Hakurei god, who'd come around to talk, says her lineage accepts the apology. He then prattles about Reimu's power when she tries to turn it off before it kills her but gets cold feet, saying he had hidden from her that it'll kill her should she keep it on or turn it off because if she knew that power would get her killed no matter what, she wouldn't have used it against Koutei, Douji, or Yukari and would have lost the war. Reimu resigns, knowing he speaks the truth, and scrambles to spend her last 3-2 minutes with Hana, but Marisa comes around, and Reimu tells her that she won't be able to uphold their promise. Marisa spergs hard, but Reimu ignores her and goes to meet Hana. Feeling free and relieved since her death is guaranteed, she starts floating;
		>Hana seethes that someone could feel merciful enough to protect Yukari and has a prickly exchange with Youmu, who urges her to listen to Yuyuko, before Kasen interjects and Yuyuko starts begging for Yukari's life, saying that she's not a danger anymore without her Gap and so hurt and that she'll keep her from doing anything dangerous to Gensokyo. Hana doesn't buy it, but she feels sympathy towards the child growing inside Yukari, as they're in the same spot she's been in her whole life before the Solstice. Kasen gives her the entirety of the choice, stating she'll be on Hana's side no matter what she chooses. After some back-and-forth, Hana decides to spare Yukari if only to keep her sibling safe. Yukari immediately seizes that moment of opportunity, though she reckons she's not capable of fighting anymore. Thus, she impales herself on the onikirimaru and, dissociating in her near-catatonic state, uses Reimu's power to float. Rather than use the power to fight, she runs towards Yuyuko, intending on stealing her manipulation of death to have everyone's deaths insured. Hana notices that and rallies the others so they protect Yuyuko, but Yuyuko, after a brief exchange with Hana and vagueposting a command of "Be ready", runs towards Yukari as if keen on getting cut down. The others try to stop Yuyuko, but can only marginally hinder her, as they're all wrecked from the Solstice and Yuyuko is in top shape. Hana fumes and decides to put down Yuyuko before Yukari can have power over death but is stopped by Youmu, who's just as distressed as she is but believes in Yuyuko, who'd said she wouldn't ally with Yukari. Hana tries to ignore her by using her noneuclidean movement but is intercepted by emo Youmu from lost world, who she observes overlaps normal Youmu in the noneuclidean world. They have a quick scuffle, and just before Yukari and Yuyuko meet and the latter could say something to the former, Reimu uses the fucking neckbreaker to engage Yukari. Infinitely floating above another's float proved a dangerous thing when the power from one slash Reimu floated over generated enough energy to atomize a chunk of Yggdrasil;
		>Kanako saves Hana and Youmu from being obliterated by the shockwaves of the tree hitting its stump. The three of them have a quick talk about what to do, and Hana and Youmu have a shouting match before Youmu makes a point that gets the other two thinking. Hana grapples with her mental for a bit, comparing this cataclysm to the underground one and though there she froze and had to be saved, after her family was reunited, she found strength within to poise herself and keep herself from panicking. Youmu says that Yuyuko tried to say something to Yukari, and that would most likely throw Yukari off the float, thus explaining why Yuyuko told her to be ready. Hana decides to create an opportunity for Yuyuko;
		>The others rush towards Youkai Mountain to have everyone there evacuated as the tree, which is soon ton fall, would have its resting place on Youkai Mountain. Okina awakes from near death, powered by the broken hilt of the onikirimaru Kasen gave her, and goads Suika who was carrying her to bring her to Koutei's forgotten sword. She muses that the Onikirimaru, though unable to have its powers used by her since Okina isn't Kasen or Yukari, still works as a catalyst, and she could do something with her backdoors again if the catalyst was powered by Koutei's anti-magic. She accepts doing whatever she's about to do will kill her;
		>Hana joins Reimu and Kanako explains through her winds the plan to Reimu and Marisa. Kasen has tunnel vision on Yukari and couldn't be reached. Marisa spergs hard and begs Hana to get through Reimu, saying she's dead-set on dying. Hana watches her mother stupefied before steeling herself and promising Marisa they'd save Reimu after killing Yukari. Some more fighting ensues and, as Yggdrasil goes from leaning to falling, Hana gets her mental poised for what's to come. She reaches Kasen and gives her the information, who understands it. Unimpeded and suspecting nothing, Yukari eventually manages to get within reach of Yuyuko, who says "Aisheteru" to Yukari, completely shattering her Float. Vulnerable, Yuyuko manipulates death and prompts Yukari's, with Hana already there through her noneuclidean movement to deal the fatal blow, decapitating Yukari with one hit. Yuyuko catches the dead body and cries;
		>Patchouli wakes up in the SDM's courtyard after the ritual. Remi, who's in Sakuya's lap due to a grievous wound across her back, explains she got everyone out before the tree could crush them after Reimu and Yukari cut it. She tells Patchouli that Sekai and Meiling are ok and that she should go check on them before Sakuya takes Remi away, likely to heal. Patchouli meets Meiling by the front gates, who's watching Sekai play by the shore of the Misty Lake, and tells her it wouldn't be the same if she met Sekai in the real world for the first time without Patchouli by her side. They join and go to Sekai, who welcomes them and they proceed to have an adorable family moment by the shore. They watch the aurora borealis Sekai draws on the skies, the war is over;
		>The falling tree is consumed by a massive backdoor created by Okina, stopping it from crushing Youkai Mountain. Hana sends Yuyuko and Youmu away with Yukari's corpse before attempting to stop Reimu's death. They have a soul-crushing moment together, with Hana inheriting one of Reimu's wings and Reimu saying how proud she is of Hana and that she believes she can keep Gensokyo safe, before Reimu dies just as Anon and Chen arrive. Sensing the war is over, Keine leaves her hiding spot and heals the land as well as gives Hana a pitying look. Marisa leaves, overwhelmed with sadness and frustration. Aunn doesn't know what to say. Chen and Kasen stand by the spot Reimu died and Hana wanders off trying to recuperate the embers Reimu turned into as she died. Anon holds Hana and she cries, embracing her new and unknown world without her mother and her new responsibilities of protecting Gensokyo;
