| + | ===Stage 3: A Tunnel Through the Clouds? Trace the Meteor!=== | ||
| + | '''Clouds over Gensokyo'''<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The girls followed the holes in the clouds that the meteor made when it fell, high up into the sky. The youkai they found there weren't the source of the problem, but didn't want to be part of the solution, either. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Midboss: Naoko Shogai, Frustratingly Officious Guardian==== | ||
| + | '''Species:''' Nurikabe<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Naoko was put in place in the clouds to stop investigators from rushing into the skies, and she does her job to a degree of dreadfully obnoxious perfection. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Boss: Venus Messenger, the Radiant Heavenly Secretary and Akami, Living Curse of Misery==== | ||
| + | '''Species:''' Tennin and living Jubaku<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Venus was sent from the Junsui no Kami by the goddess living there to demand of anyone flying up after the meteors that they return to the ground. Akami was cast and awakened to make sure Venus did her job, and also to test the strength of any who approached. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Stage 4: Twilight in Heaven! At Dusk the Unseen Stairs Appear=== | ||
| + | '''High Heaven's Plain'''<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Akami pointed the girls toward a secret stairway in the skies. They crossed the deepening dusk into twilight, but ran into a youkai with conflicting goals. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Midboss: ??? (Rin)==== | ||
| + | '''Species:''' ???<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | A blinding, fiery light crossed the girls' path and attempted to stop them - but it left when more stars began to fall. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Boss: Rin Satsuki, Auspicious Giver of Heaven's Blessings==== | ||
| + | '''Species:''' Kirin<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Rin lives high in the heavens at the base of the secret stair of the gods. She is enjoying the fireworks of the starfall and doesn't want the girls interfering with the show. After all, she's been making sure nothing has landed on anyone, so what's the harm? | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Stage 5: The Pure Spring of the Gods! High Atop Heaven=== | ||
| + | '''Stairway to the Junsui no Kami'''<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Up the secret stairs at twilight the girls flew, to find the pure spring where the gods wash away their anger and the entity behind the falling stars. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Midboss: Akumi==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The living curse appears a second time to challenge the girls' right to see the fountain of the Junsui no Kami. She seems worried about the girls' strength this time... | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Boss: Hitomi Amanozako, Daughter of Storm God's Anger==== | ||
| + | '''Species:''' Ama-no-zako, deity<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hitomi is the destructive lonely child of the storm god's pent-up rage. She plotted to destroy the sacred Junsui no Kami so that her father could not cleanse himself of his anger and would create a new sister for her. However, it has resisted all her efforts thus far. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Stage 6: Above Heaven and Earth - Leaving the World Behind=== | ||
| + | '''Cloudy Nebula'''<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hitomi Amanozako revealed the whereabouts of her collaborator, who continues to throw comets and asteroids at the Junsui no Kami, but the mysterious being lives far beyond the heavens in the darkness between stars! | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Midboss: Kaguya? Ran? Yukari?==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Boss: Haruka Kitahoshi, Demon Queen of the Guiding Star==== | ||
| + | '''Species:''' Demon, deity<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Haruka Kitahoshi is the fabled goddess of evil who lives at the pole star, who has been using her powers to guide celestial objects toward the Junsui no Kami. The sacred site's barrier has caused them all to bounce off towards Gensokyo, but Haruka persists due to her friendship with Hitomi and her perception of the barrier as a challenge to her personal power. | ||
