Daiyousei Quest - Greater Fairy: Part 9

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan 1:

>What about warping above the spellcard ?Can we find a spot just above it or find a spot to the sides far enough, since rain is coming here ?

> The sides of the area are completely covered by the waves, both above and below. It's actually a bit cool to see such a move that expands so far...
> However, warping above seems like it'd help dodge the rain danmaku.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Let's not be afraid.
>Go further in, and be careful.

> You continue into the dark.
> Eventually, things get dark enough that you can't tell which way you came from. It's pitch black.
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan Prime:

>Fire the brightest danmaku we can, then use the light to keep going down.

Dai-chan 1:

>Quickly warp there ! Better than nothing.
>Can we see Miss Gasanae from here ?

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan Prime:

>Fire the brightest danmaku we can, then use the light to keep going down.

> You decide to fire a fireball which should provide a bit of light. It does, and you can determine which way is down, and continue.
> Eventually, you start to see a source of light further on.

Dai-chan 1:

>Quickly warp there ! Better than nothing.
>Can we see Miss Gasanae from here ?

> You warp upwards, dodging the rain danmaku.
> You can see Gasanae from up there. She looks up at you.
> "Aw, an oversight." She frowns. "I need a different spellcard than this one Kogasa..." Gasanae cancels the spellcards and starts to think again.

> (Dai 0) You open your eyes a bit. It's been a while, you believe. Cirno is still asleep at your side and Koakuma still hasn't returned... Maybe you should go back to sleep and relax some more.
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 1:

>"Well, i had think quickly, since it was getting to the point there was nowhere to dodge."
>Approach her.
>"So what's next ?"

Dai-chan Prime:

>Go towards the light !

Dai-chan 0:

>Hug Cirno-chan.
>Koa will be ok, she promised us, and she at the library so it's alright...

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan 1:

>"Well, i had think quickly, since it was getting to the point there was nowhere to dodge."
>Approach her.
>"So what's next ?"

> "I need to fix a few things about the spellcard." Gasanae says. "Mainly Kogasa's part with the rain. It's not working good enough."

Dai-chan Prime:

>Go towards the light !

> You head towards the light, getting to a much larger area. It's like a city in a gigantic cave. There are many houses and dim lights lining the area.
> One house stands out in particular. Rather than a house however, it seems to be a mansion. With knowledge of what Koishi knows, you identify said mansion as her home.

Dai-chan 0:

>Hug Cirno-chan.
>Koa will be ok, she promised us, and she at the library so it's alright...

> You gently hug Cirno and continue to wait for Koakuma's return...
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 1:

>"Well, just don't make it unfairly hard, every spellcard should have a way to be beaten after all."
>Wait.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Fly towards the Mansion.

Dai-chan 0:

>Have another quick nap.

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan 1:

>"Well, just don't make it unfairly hard, every spellcard should have a way to be beaten after all."
>Wait.

> "Right right..." Gasanae thinks for a bit.
> "Got it. This one will work for sure. Even if it's not that great." Gasanae says.
> "Umbrella Sign 'Flurry Traveler'/Sea Opening 'Moses's Miracle'." Gasanae declares two spellcards again.
> The sides are once again overwhelmed by two waves of danmaku. A bunch of small, very spaced out, random danmaku starts to come forwards from behind Gasanae along with... umbrellas?

Dai-chan Prime:

>Fly towards the Mansion.

> You start flying towards the mansion in the distance.

Dai-chan 0:

>Have another quick nap.

> You return to sleeping with Cirno...
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 1:

>Get in position.
>Fire a salvo towards Miss Gasanae, then fire some to our side and warp them to Miss Gasanae's side.
>Make two orbital familiars to fire pellets towards her.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Just keep flying.

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan 1:

>Get in position.
>Fire a salvo towards Miss Gasanae, then fire some to our side and warp them to Miss Gasanae's side.
>Make two orbital familiars to fire pellets towards her.

> You fire at Gasanae, then at your side before warping them. This version of the spellcard doesn't have shots that you need to worry about every second or two, so it seems to be much easier.
> The shots hit Gasanae's umbrella, dealing pretty much no damage, while the ones you warped to her side hit her directly.
> "Unh!" Gasanae jumps as the shots hit her. "Forgot about that..."
> There are a few umbrellas getting a little closer to you. The way they move is strange, and hard to predict. Nonetheless, you'll have to dodge soon. Thankfully, the smaller danmaku doesn't seem to be near you.
> You create two familiars with the intent of having them shoot at her. They do so, but it's not that grand. Not much to expect from being a novice at this, but they're much much weaker than they were in the battle against the mistress.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Just keep flying.

> You continue flying, getting to the doors of the mansion after a bit.
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 1:

>"Pay attention Miss Gasanae ! Others will also have some tricks like this."
>Try firing danmaku at the umbrellas, if it doesn't work, warp one of them below us as to make space for us to dodge the other one.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Is there anything on the door or at the wall ?
>If not then just knock on the door.

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan 1:

>"Pay attention Miss Gasanae ! Others will also have some tricks like this."
>Try firing danmaku at the umbrellas, if it doesn't work, warp one of them below us as to make space for us to dodge the other one.

> "Right, right." Gasanae nods.
> You fire danmaku at the umbrellas coming at you. After a few shots, one of them explodes into a couple of larger bullets. The bullets were far enough however, that they spread out and miss you harmlessly.
> Gasanae starts to fire a lot of small white things, which immediately turn into snakes that start to fly forwards. There's a lot of them.
> The bullets your familiars fire hit one of the umbrellas along the path, but does not destroy it.
> There are no nearby umbrellas you have to worry about now, but some of the small danmaku will get close soon. They're small enough and go straight however, making them easy to dodge.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Is there anything on the door or at the wall ?
>If not then just knock on the door.

> There seems to be some sort of... white... flat thing at the wall. It's small, but it looks like it's there for a reason. It can't just be a weird decoration...
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 1:

>"Ekkk ! Why snakes ?!? I don't like snakes..."
>Fire danmaku at the snakes to make them go away.
>Dodge the incoming light barrage, going to the side the least amount of umbrellas/snakes.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Examine the thingy closer.
>Can we push/pull or flip it ?

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan 1:

>"Ekkk ! Why snakes ?!? I don't like snakes..."
>Fire danmaku at the snakes to make them go away.
>Dodge the incoming light barrage, going to the side the least amount of umbrellas/snakes.

> You fire at the snakes, but it's hard to accurately hit them, and there's a lot too, so it won't do much.
> As the snakes pass under you, they suddenly start to go upwards towards you. If you weren't looking and trying to attack them, they probably would've caught you unexpectedly. You believe dodging them now would just take a simple move to the side, since they seem to be going straight.
> However, dodging them would mean getting into the way of incoming umbrellas, as well as some of the smaller danmaku. Not to mention you can't go too far else you'll run into the waves.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Examine the thingy closer.
>Can we push/pull or flip it ?

> It looks like it's extending out a bit, so you can probably push it.
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan Prime:

>Wonder where did the other Dai-chan mind parts (players)  go.
>Press the extending thingy.

Dai-chan 1:

>Fly to the side in order to avoid the snakes, while shooting danmaku towards the umbrellas so they blow up and dodge the incoming danmaku, makong sure to not go too far to the sides.
>If there is no time, warp the umbrella out of the way instead.
>Do we have enough space and time to fight back ?

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan Prime:

>Wonder where did the other Dai-chan mind parts (players)  go.

> You're sure that they're enjoying time along a different plane of existence...
> Bduh?

Dai-chan Prime:

>Press the extending thingy.

> You press the thingy, and it retracts inwards when you push it, before coming back out as you move your finger back.
> Din- Dong. The thing causes a strange noise near you. You believe it came from inside the house.
> There's silence.

Dai-chan 1:

>Fly to the side in order to avoid the snakes, while shooting danmaku towards the umbrellas so they blow up and dodge the incoming danmaku, makong sure to not go too far to the sides.
>If there is no time, warp the umbrella out of the way instead.
>Do we have enough space and time to fight back ?

> You fly off to the side while shooting danmaku at the umbrellas, causing them to explode into danmaku. A couple of the shots seem to be in the way now, and you'll have to dodge again.
> Gasanae throws out more of those things that transform into snakes. It doesn't seem like you'll have to worry about it yet.
> You can't get enough time to focus your shots on Gasanae while still dodging. There's too much different kinds of obstacles to worry about.
> Behind Gasanae, you notice that the speedy thing has started to fly away from the mountain.
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan Prime:

>Wait a bit, if nobody comes, press it again.

Dai-chan 1:

>Dodge them carefully and if we have time before the snakes come back up, fire some more pellets towards Miss Gasanae and do another flank attack with the warp danmaku.

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan Prime:

>Wait a bit, if nobody comes, press it again.

> You wait a bit. . .
> The door opens, and on the other side is Satori, as well as Koishi behind her.
> Satori looks over to Koishi for a few seconds, to which Koishi smiles back. Her third eye is open again.

Dai-chan 1:

>Dodge them carefully and if we have time before the snakes come back up, fire some more pellets towards Miss Gasanae and do another flank attack with the warp danmaku.

> You carefully dodge the shots and shoot back at Gasanae. Her umbrella blocks most of the damage, again.
> You shoot some danmaku off to the side and warp it to Gasanae's side. She is hit again by them.
> "Hey, stop for a minute." Kanako calls.
> Gasanae cancels the spellcards and looks down to the goddesses.
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Hiya Miss Satori and Miss Koishi ! May i come in ?"
>Smile back.

Dai-chan 1:

>Dispell the familiars and look down too.
>"What's the matter ?"

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Hiya Miss Satori and Miss Koishi ! May i come in ?"
>Smile back.

> "Yea." Koishi says.
> "Do you understand what's with Koishi?" Satori asks, moving out of the way. "It's from what you did earlier, right?"

Dai-chan 1:

>Dispell the familiars and look down too.
>"What's the matter ?"

> "Well, Marisa's back for one." Kanako says, holding a newspaper. "That and Reimu brought her back against her will. But that doesn't sound like something Reimu would do, right?"
> "_{You think Aya made that up?}" Suwako asks.
> "_{Actually, I think it's both Aya and Hatate now.}" Kanako says.
> Gasanae flies down to the two.

[Kilgamayan]

SeiDai, ShinDai:

> Where are the newly-lovebirds now?

[Monarda]

Dai-chan Prime:

>Move inside and have a look around.
>"I think so, when i fused with her, something probably made the third eye reopen, why ?"

Dai-chan 1:

>"Yeah, they're working together now."
>Put up a concerned face.
>"And about that.... she did bring Miss Marisa back by force...."

[Neovereign]

SeiDai, ShinDai:

> Where are the newly-lovebirds now?

> Shinmyoumaru is currently bagging up the money into large bags. Seija appears to be waiting outside with the Yin-Yang orb in her hand.

Dai-chan Prime:

>Move inside and have a look around.
>"I think so, when i fused with her, something probably made the third eye reopen, why ?"

> You head inside. The two start to lead you down a hallway. There are windows that sort of make images.
> "Her third eye has been opening and closing at certain times." Satori says. "The thing about this, is that it does so on it's own."
> "I can close it when I want to too." Koishi says.
> "But not the other way, right?" Satori asks.
> Koishi nods.
>_

[Monarda]

//Parser, you forgot Dai-chan 1.

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Hmm, i did notice it did that, but i thought she was just doing it on her own..."
>Put on a curious look.
>"What happens when it opens and closes like that ?"

[Neovereign]

//Parser, you forgot Dai-chan 1.

//Sorry~

Dai-chan 1:

>"Yeah, they're working together now."
>Put up a concerned face.
>"And about that.... she did bring Miss Marisa back by force...."

> "Oh... that explains things, but still not why she'd do things differently." Kanako says.
> "I expected them to get into a fight there since Marisa was trying to get stronger in the first place." Gasanae says.

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Hmm, i did notice it did that, but i thought she was just doing it on her own..."
>Put on a curious look.
>"What happens when it opens and closes like that ?"

> "Well, I can read her thoughts when it's open, but when it's not, she's the Koishi she's been for a long while." Satori says.

> "All done Seija." Shinmyoumaru says, holding a few bags in her hands. She's crouched down in the hallway. I hope this actually works.
> "Okay, just hold onto my hand, and I'll throw the orb as far as I can." Can't get there in one throw, but it should be fine.
> Shinmyoumaru holds out a few fingers to Seija, who holds onto them.
>_

[Monarda]

//No problem.

Dai-chan 1:

>"I dunno if they did, i just saw a note on Miss Marisa`s bed room door saying that Miss Reimu was sorry it had to be this way...."

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Hmm, maybe i could try and help ?"

[Neovereign]

//No problem.

Dai-chan 1:

>"I dunno if they did, i just saw a note on Miss Marisa`s bed room door saying that Miss Reimu was sorry it had to be this way...."

> "Oh boy... Should we check things out?" Gasanae turns to you.

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Hmm, maybe i could try and help ?"

> "That's what we were hoping." Satori says.

> Seija throws the orb as far as her arm will let her.
> A few seconds, both her and Shinmyoumaru appear in the Garden of the sun, along with their bags of money and dozens of crushed sunflowers.
> "Alright, another throw should get us close enough." Seija says, preparing to throw the orb again.
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan 1:

>"I would love too, although i'm scared about Miss Marisa... what if she hates me now ?"
>Hug Miss Gasanae.
>"But i think i'll be ok if i stay with you..."

Dai-chan Prime:

>"I could try a complete fusion again with Miss Koishi, it might give us a clue."

Shindai-chan and Seidai-chan:

>We crushed the poor flowers....

[Neovereign]

Dai-chan 1:

>"I would love too, although i'm scared about Miss Marisa... what if she hates me now ?"
>Hug Miss Gasanae.
>"But i think i'll be ok if i stay with you..."

> "I think we should take things slowly. Ask if she's even mad about that fight. Then think things through from there." Gasanae says, before splitting back up into Sanae and Kogasa.
> "Are you warping us to Reimu's shrine, or are we flying there?" Sanae asks. "Or do you want to try talking to Marisa first?"

Shindai-chan and Seidai-chan:

>We crushed the poor flowers....

> Doesn't look like we can do anything about it now. Seija thinks.
> We should've just flown... Shinmyoumaru thinks.
> Seija throws the orb again, and a moment later, the two appear near the Hakurei Shrine, before starting to fly towards the entrance.

Dai-chan Prime:

>"I could try a complete fusion again with Miss Koishi, it might give us a clue."

> "What if my eye closes again?" Koishi asks. "We'll go somewhere else by mistake."
>_

[Monarda]

Dai-chan Prime:

>"Hmm, why would that happen ?"
>Gently touch Miss Koishi and have a feel for the energies inside her.

Dai-chan 1:

>"It's your choice, i don't really mind where we start..."
>Shrink back to mini-size and sit Miss Kogasa's head.

[Nefer007]

Yuuka: Retaliate against the ruffians that just warped off.
Any of the Dais: Notify Reimu of Mima and her warning.

For some reason, I can't help but think throwing that orb as throwing an Ender Pearl.
