Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 15

[Neovereign]

> Uh.
> Status report?

>...
> (Secunde) You are with the army across the lake of the Moriya Shrine.

//..........uh oh...

Dai-chan Secunde:

>Are we okay ?!?
>Get to the mansion gate ASAP !

> Your head hurts...
> You quickly start making your way from the Moriya shrine, towards the mansion. It'll take a bit just flying like this.
>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Can we sense any other Dais?

[Monarda]

>"Oh no.... Please everyone be okay..."

[Monarda]

>Warp there to make it quicker ! This is serious !

[Neovereign]

> Can we sense any other Dais?

> You cannot.

>"Oh no.... Please everyone be okay..."

>Warp there to make it quicker ! This is serious !

> You warp to the SDM's gate.
> Dai Prime, Sanae, her goddesses, Kogasa, Sakuya, Meiling, and Orange are all here still.
> Prime is lying on the ground.
>_

[Monarda]

//I'm so sorry....

>"W-W-What ?!?"
>Check up on Prime, is she still alive ?!?
>"How did this happen ?!?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//I think we should have Sakuya reverse time around Prime and hopefully that will fix it...

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//By the way, I really hope the Koa clones are all comatose and not dead, otherwise I'll be really pissed off...

[Neovereign]

//I'm so sorry....

>"W-W-What ?!?"
>Check up on Prime, is she still alive ?!?
>"How did this happen ?!?"

> You quickly get down to Prime.
> She doesn't seem dead, thankfully.
> "I don't know. You suddenly stopped and started to fall." Sanae says. "Wouldn't you know?"
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Secunde:
>"I dunno! I was holding Miss Flandre's hand in my thoughtscape and my thoughtscape self exploded... Well, the original me seems alive at least... But I can't get her or any of her clones to respond... Man, I'm glad I made this backup me.... Otherwise I think I'd be in real trouble..."
>Wait for them to respond.

>"Anyway, I think I know a way to fix it..."

[Neovereign]

Secunde:
>"I dunno! I was holding Miss Flandre's hand in my thoughtscape and my thoughtscape self exploded... Well, the original me seems alive at least... But I can't get her or any of her clones to respond... Man, I'm glad I made this backup me.... Otherwise I think I'd be in real trouble..."
>Wait for them to respond.

>"Anyway, I think I know a way to fix it..."

> "Do you remember anything more specific?" Sakuya questions. "Did you grab her hand when she had a palm open towards you?"
> "I guess that would explain why she would explode..." Meiling says.
> "Daiyousei wouldn't do that. That'd be ridiculously stupid." Kogasa says.
> Sanae nods in agreement.
> "It must've been something else then." Suwako says. "You didn't imagine any bombs or anything, right?"
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Secunde:
>"Well... Um... I didn't imagine any bombs..."
>Did she have an open palm towards us when we grabbed her hand?
>If so: "Y-yeah... I think she did have a palm towards me... I didn't think anything of it..."

[Neovereign]

Secunde:
>"Well... Um... I didn't imagine any bombs..."
>Did she have an open palm towards us when we grabbed her hand?
>If so: "Y-yeah... I think she did have a palm towards me... I didn't think anything of it..."

> You remember Flandre opening her palm when she was explaining her ability to Prime and Rumia.
> Sakuya sighs.
> "I'm still not completely sure on what happened to you though. You should've respawned by now if you were killed." Sakuya says.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Secunde:
>"I think just my thoughts died, but the body didn't... Like I died but didn't die completely... What's that thing called? Co... Cohmar or something? Anyway... I have an idea on how to fix it... And hopefully it works..."

[Neovereign]

Secunde:
>"I think just my thoughts died, but the body didn't... Like I died but didn't die completely... What's that thing called? Co... Cohmar or something? Anyway... I have an idea on how to fix it... And hopefully it works..."

> "And what's that?" Sakuya asks.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Secunde:
>Lean in close to Miss Sakuya and whisper:
>"^{_{I need you to stop time in a bubble around the original me, then rewind time within that bubble until a few seconds before I stopped and fell. That would reset the original me back to the state before she grabbed Miss Flandre's hand, and since I have a mental link with her I can stop her before she grabs the hand again... Please, Miss Sakuya... Too many people depend on the original me's clones to be functioning... And too many people are fused with her for her to safely die...}}"

> "Fine." Sakuya frowns, retrieving her watch from her pocket.
> Everyone out here except you, Prime, Sanae, Kogasa, and Sakuya, disappears.
> Sakuya creates a small field where time is stopped around Dai Prime, then begins rewinding time.
> There's a large pain in your head as a multitude of sudden thoughts flood in.
>...
>...

Prime (R):

> "Okay. Well, if you want to now, Miss Suwako, you can, I guess."

> "Alright." Suwako says.
> "Actually," Sakuya grabs your hand. "We need to chat for a moment. Stop everything else you're doing. That includes what you're doing with the young mistress, and what you're doing elsewhere."
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Prime:
>If we're going to grab Flan's hand in thoughtscape, don't.
>Is everyone in our thoughtscape here?
>Who is here?
>Are all our clones present?

If so:
Clones:
>What seems to be happening for all of us?
>For non-bugs: Is anyone we were with concerned about us? Are we on the ground?

[Neovereign]

Prime:
>If we're going to grab Flan's hand in thoughtscape, don't.

>Who is here?
>Are all our clones present?

If so:
Clones:
>What seems to be happening for all of us?
>For non-bugs: Is anyone we were with concerned about us? Are we on the ground?

> You and Sakuya suddenly appear back in that one room you were in when you fused to go back in time for Orange.
> You stop yourself from grabbing Flandre's hand.
> "I think there could probably be worse pains..." Flandre says.
> You have Cirno, Lily, Mystia, Wriggle, Rumia, Flandre, Seija, Shinmyoumaru, (The two Dai's inside Seija and Shinmyoumaru), Letty, and Wakasagihime within your thoughtscape.
> You, Sakuya, Sanae, Suwako, Kanako, Kogasa, Meiling, and Orange are here at the Scarlet Devil Mansion's gate.
> Your clones are all still going about their business. They are not near you, however.

> You'd hope that others are concerned about you. It'd feel a bit bad not to be worried about by others.
> Some of you are on the ground, rather than flying. It's mostly preference, aside from 4, who cannot get up very easily.

Sendai, Medidai:
>What's going on?

Probe:
>What's going on?

Sumidai:
>What's going on?

Sherlock, Mikobug:
>What's going on?

Secunde:
>Are we at the gate? Or back at the Moriya Shrine?

Army:
>What's going on?

Prime:
>"What is it, Miss Sakuya? And I can't really stop every single one of my clones, a few of them are doing very important, time-sensitive priority things right now... However, I will happily stop everyone else."

[Neovereign]

Sendai, Medidai:
>What's going on?

> You are traveling to the Myouren temple with Alice and co. You're holding Lucien's hand, and nearing the village.

Probe:
>What's going on?

> Micheal had asked you what to do now.

Sumidai:
>What's going on?

> You are in the weird eye place. Maribel is creating another hole.

Secunde:
>Are we at the gate? Or back at the Moriya Shrine?

> You are across the Moriya Shrine's lake with the fairy army. Why would you be at the gate?

Army:
>What's going on?

> The fairies are waiting on the village to start being built.

Prime:
>"What is it, Miss Sakuya? And I can't really stop every single one of my clones, a few of them are doing very important, time-sensitive priority things right now... However, I will happily stop everyone else."

> "I'm want to show you something about Belgrade. You have to be willing to cooperate with me however." Sakuya says.
>_

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Prime:
>"Y-You know something about Belgrade!?! Miss Sakuya! You gotta tell me!"

Medidai, Sendai:
>Beat.

Sherlock, Mikobug:
>What's going on?

LightDais:
>But I'm right here!! I've always been here, ever since we became the Fairies of Light!

Probe:
>"I dunno... Do you think they'll try to come in here and do something to you?"

[Neovereign]

Prime:
>"Y-You! Know something about Belgrade!?! Miss Sakuya! You gotta tell me!"

> "Remove any and all clones you have." Sakuya says sternly.

Medidai, Sendai:
>Beat.

> You continue.

Sherlock, Mikobug:
>What's going on?

> "We found her Daiyousei. Now what?" Miko asks. "How are you doing Seiga? I'm fine."
> "Well." Seiga smiles a bit.

LightDais:
>But I'm right here!! I've always been here, ever since we became the Fairies of Light!

> "What?" Sunny repeats. What's it talking a bout?
> "Are you our conscious?" Luna asks. That sounds like it could be...
> Oh! That sounds like a much better explanation. Star thinks.

Probe:
>"I dunno... Do you think they'll try to come in here and do something to you?"

> Micheal shakes his head.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

//Are you just trying to railroad us into killing off all the clones? :wat:

Prime:
>Frown.
>"As much as I'd like too, there are several people who depend on the presence of my clones right now... If they just suddenly got removed... it could have a massive domino effect on the people they're with, as well as cause mass confusion. Besides, I couldn't remove one of my clones even if I wanted to. She's a permanent clone, almost a clean slate, made to be my backup in case something irreversible ever happened to the original me."
>Take a deep breath.
>"Please, don't force me to remove them... At least not now... there's just way too many loose ends to even risk removing them at this moment..."
>"And please please don't do anything with time to remove them either! There's a lot of people I've met with them over the last week that I'd rather not forget... ever. And some meetings I don't want to ever go through again. They were perfect the first time... And there were some things I helped them resolve that they couldn't without me..."

Mikobug (T):
>Try to see if she has Belgrade... or at least find her... In your own way of course, you're probably a much better negotiator than me... If she has Belgrade and I see her, the invisible me can grab her before Seiga can react.

Medidai, Sendai:
>Beat.

Probe:
>"So what do you think we should do?"

Sumidai:
>Beat.

> Sakuya stops time aside from the two of you.
> "I'm not being your guardian and reversing time to saving you from what happened, or rather, didn't happen, again." Sakuya says. "I hope Sanae or someone else has your back in such a case." Sakuya frowns. "Now, follow me. I plan to rewind time at another spot in order to show you this."

>Out of curiosity: Are we aware of what happened?
>If not: "Huh? Did something irreversible happen to me? Did my backup clone work?"

>Follow Sakuya.

>If not: "Huh? Did something irreversible happen to me? Did my backup clone work?"

>Follow Sakuya.

> You don't recall needing to be saved from anything...
> "Yes, she did." Sakuya says, taking you out of the room and through the halls. "Unfortunately, her plan didn't work out that well, and I had to do things myself."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Prime:
>Keep following.
>"What was her plan? Why did it fail? And should you really be doing what you're going to do at the other spot with the original me, instead of a clone? I mean, there are still >insert the number of people fused with Prime here< people fused with this body... And some of them are aware of what's happening outside of it... With a clone it's a bit less... Risky..."

> Sakuya frowns after you suggest her doing this with one of your clones. She seems to be getting pretty mad...
> "I'll deal with that problem later." Sakuya says. "Now..."
> You find yourself above the Human Village.
> "Here is where you last talked to Belgrade. In a trip I took, you seemed to be talking to her, yet she wasn't here."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Prime:
>"Huh!? How is that possible!? Was I hallucinating? I didn't look at Clownpiece's torch again though... I hadn't even seen Clownpiece today until later..."
