Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 5

[Monarda]

//As an (IMO) average player in Danmaku, i can say that deathbombing is a developed instinct that yells out loud in your mind: "You can't keep up !" So you bomb and generally hear that good ol' *PITCHUNNN* while seeing that you managed to bomb. I dunno, that's how i feel it.

>Retreat slightly so we have more space to work with.
>Evaluate approaching danmaku.

>Retreat slightly so we have more space to work with.
>Evaluate approaching danmaku.

> You move back more.
> You examine Marisa's attack. The area around Marisa is clear of bullets, but there is almost no way to get to said area. The stars are covering the field very well, and it's intimidating to look at and consider how to dodge. There are small spaces that come up occasionally. They haven't reached you yet.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

Don't bomb unless Marisa is covered in a lot of her own danmaku. That'll maximize the damage we do to her.

[Monarda]

>While the stars don't enter the danger zone, fire some bullets upwards and warp'em right on Marisa's ass, just for the hell of it, perfect sneak attack.
>Once they come close enough, scan for possible gaps or safe spots, taking in count the curving stars.

I don't get that, how so ? Some new mechanic from later games ?

>Great Fairy Wars: Cirno's specialty is freezing bullets. She has to charge it a bit before she can freeze the small area around her. Nearby bullets will freeze (if they're not lasers or fire bullets or some specific others) and chain freeze other bullets quickly, getting back to it's shooter and doing damage when it shatters. Some charge is restored based on how much was frozen.

>While the stars don't enter the danger zone, fire some bullets upwards and warp'em right on Marisa's ass, just for the hell of it, perfect sneak attack.

> You fire some shots above you then warp them directly onto Marisa's butt.
> "e-AH!" Marisa yelps as the bullets materialize, and she almost falls off of her broom. You notice that she's blushing and has a frown on her face. The magic circles start to fire their stars faster, making the field even more dense.

>Once they come close enough, scan for possible gaps or safe spots, taking in count the curving stars.

> The stars get closer and you find yourself needing to navigate through it. There doesn't seem to be any specific pattern to it. You can find many gaps now, yet none are safe to stay in for very long at all.
>_

[Monarda]

>"I couldn't resist, sorry !"
>Weave through the gap most open space, afterwards fire more ice shards onto Marisa, then repeat that until some problem arises.
>If we make a familiar, can it be destroyed by bullets ? How about Marisa's ?

>"I couldn't resist, sorry !"
>Weave through the gap most open space, afterwards fire more ice shards onto Marisa, then repeat that until some problem arises.
>If we make a familiar, can it be destroyed by bullets ? How about Marisa's ?

> It's likely. Though your bullets seem to pass straight by Marisa's though.
> Do you plan to shoot them to Marisa, or warp them?
>_

[Monarda]

>Fire them at her normally and warp about a third of the amount towards her, if the danmaku is so dense, she's be distracted by the warped ones.
>Enemy Fire Report.

[Neovereign]

>Fire them at her normally and warp about a third of the amount towards her, if the danmaku is so dense, she's be distracted by the warped ones.
>Enemy Fire Report.

> You start firing icicles towards Marisa as she just grazes them. You also warp some of the shots to her as well, catching her when she tries to dodge the others.
> You're about to enter an area where the danmaku gets very dense, as Marisa's firing them more frequently. You can't find any reliable gaps, but there are gaps nonetheless. Marisa is looking a bit irritated though.
>_

[Monarda]

>Slowly retreat back weaving through the gaps while stopping on safe-ish spots to fire a cluster of pellets with a few bubbles along.

[Neovereign]

>Slowly retreat back weaving through the gaps while stopping on safe-ish spots to fire a cluster of pellets with a few bubbles along.

> You start retreating and firing. Marisa dodges a few of them carefully, but gets hit by some of the pellets.
> All of Marisa's bullets dissipate, and you see her struggle to stay on her broom.

[Monarda]

>"Yatta ! Ehm, are you okay, Miss Marisa ?"
>Was that a sort of spellcard or just a non-spell ? Does that count as a -1 life ?
>Maintain our guard !

[Neovereign]

>"Yatta ! Ehm, are you okay, Miss Marisa ?"
>Was that a sort of spellcard or just a non-spell ? Does that count as a -1 life ?
>Maintain our guard !

> You don't think it was a spellcard. She didn't announce it or anything.
> "Okay." Marisa regains her balance. "On to the next one then." Marisa starts to fly towards you on her broom, one hand in her pocket.
>_

[Monarda]

>Fly downwards while firing fireballs and tiny spheres at her.
>Be ready to emergency warp to either our right or a good distance to our front.
>Are we allowed to use cloaking to avoid being seen for a while ?

[Neovereign]

>Fly downwards while firing fireballs and tiny spheres at her.
>Be ready to emergency warp to either our right or a good distance to our front.
>Are we allowed to use cloaking to avoid being seen for a while ?

> You start to decend to the ground and shoot at Marisa. Marisa moves slightly to the sides as you shoot, grazing your bullets.
> There was only a rule on cloaked danmaku. You think cloaking yourself would be allowed. Other versions, such as Mystia making the enemy almost blind, have been used before.
> Marisa stops flying towards you and takes on a look of surprise, before she smirks.
> "I was wondering when we'd stop fighting on just one plane. Hope you have the danmaku to back it up though." Marisa pulls out a spellcard and a tall but thin mushroom.
>_

[Monarda]

>"I'm not going to lose ! Dai-chan and Cirno-chan and Sunny and Star and Luna all worked together to make me, and there's Koa down there cheering for me !"
>Cloak and warp to Marisa's left, that is, if warping doesn't cancel cloak.

[Neovereign]

>"I'm not going to lose ! Dai-chan and Cirno-chan and Sunny and Star and Luna all worked together to make me, and there's Koa down there cheering for me !"

> As you say this, Marisa declares a spellcard
> "Magical Research 'Glamour'!"

>Cloak and warp to Marisa's left, that is, if warping doesn't cancel cloak.

> You go invisible and warp to Marisa's left.
> Marisa eats the thin mushroom.
>_

[Monarda]

>Back off ! Quick ! I have a bad feeling about that.
>Search through our collective memories for anything about that spellcard.
>Observe her carefully.

[AzyWng]

>Do try to be ready to bomb in the event that we get hit/overwhelmed.

[Neovereign]

>Back off ! Quick ! I have a bad feeling about that.
>Search through our collective memories for anything about that spellcard.
>Observe her carefully.

>Do try to be ready to bomb in the event that we get hit/overwhelmed.

> You quickly fly away from Marisa.
> None of your resources recall anything about this spellcard.
> You watch Marisa carefully.
> Marisa finishes off the mushroom and she flashes for a second or two before something amazing happens.
> Marisa grows to a tall size, surprisingly near Kanako's height. Her hat transforms into a bonnet, and her outfit becomes a white dress that's large and round-like past her waist. The most interesting features however, are her face and hair, which surpass Sakuya's in elegance, and her breasts, which easily surpass Meiling in size.  She looks like an adult now...
> Marisa gets up and sits on the side of her broom, as opposed to sitting frontwards and holding onto it.
> "What in the?" Reimu questions.
> "Whoa..." Aya starts to take pictures of Marisa.
> "M-Marisa!?" Alice sports a surprised face.
>_

[Monarda]

>Great, what now ? Eating a green one to gain an extra life ?
>"Whoa ! That's awesome !"
>Warp again, this time above EX Marisa and on a safe distance.
>Grow to EX Marisa size for fairplay and hitboxes and such.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Cue BGM: Death by Glamour.

[Kilgamayan]

>Grow to EX Marisa size for fairplay and hitboxes and such.

> Actually, we don't need to do this. She artificially increased her size for the purposes of her spell card, which means she's accepted the consequences of such.

[Monarda]

>True, but we still need to figure out WTF is going on and what will she do, not even Alice knew about this, and they're a couple. >_>

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, yes, that's true. We just don;t need to also make ourselves a bigger target in the process.

[Neovereign]

>Cue BGM: Death by Glamour.

> Marisa puts on some music fitting for what's about to go down...

>Great, what now ? Eating a green one to gain an extra life ?
>"Whoa ! That's awesome !"
>Warp again, this time above EX Marisa and on a safe distance.
>Grow to EX Marisa size for fairplay and hitboxes and such.

> You warp above Marisa. You are still invisible.
> "I wonder where you are..." Marisa says calmly.
> Marisa spawns a bunch of magic circles and they head to the arena's barrier ceiling, covering it completely. They all start to spray star danmaku down slowly.
> Marisa makes 4 more magic circles, each going to a bottom corner of the arena. They haven't done anything yet.
> "It's a bit unfortunate that the first time I get to use this, they hide. Maybe it's stage fright..." Marisa says, starting to fly around aimlessly on her broom.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Does our danmaku make noise as we shoot it?

[Neovereign]

> Does our danmaku make noise as we shoot it?

> It does. This could be avoided by using Luna's ability to mute the sound of your danmaku however.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Yes, mute the sound of our danmaku. (Make sure it's still visible, though - invisibility was banned for danmaku, after all!)
> Once we have muted our danmaku, fire some fireballs straight downward, then warp them so they are directly above Marisa.

[Neovereign]

> Yes, mute the sound of our danmaku. (Make sure it's still visible, though - invisibility was banned for danmaku, after all!)
> Once we have muted our danmaku, fire some fireballs straight downward, then warp them so they are directly above Marisa.

> You mute your danmaku as you fire some straight down. You warp them above Marisa, but the warping lag causes them to miss her as she flies by. Marisa doesn't even notice them.
> The ceiling stars are getting a bit close. It's fairly okay to dodge through, but descending will buy you more time before needing to do so.
