[COMPLETE] Daiyousei Quest - Rise of the Fairies

[Raikaria]

>Smile faintly, in that shy sort of way we're so used to. "Um..I don't really do pranks much since I Ascended...You see, Sprites are Evolved Fairies...I already explained all this to Shou."
>Sigh, and take a deep breath. We're gonna have to talk a lot more again.
>"Sprites, as I already said earlier, are Evolved Fairies. When a fairy becomes determined enough to excel at something, they might Ascend, and become a Sprite. Each one has a specific trigger. For Cirno, it was as simple as 'Being the Strongest'. Her desire to be stronger than everyone else sparked the Ascension. For me, it was a desire to learn."
>Let's give her and the Nyuudou the whole speech about fairies and how they evolve to Sprites.

(I did it like this for brevity, because I already type a lot in a day as it is. xD)

> "Ah, that makes some sense I guess. You can never know everything about magic and the world." Ichirin comments.

> Unzan floats up to you, and looks in your eyes, before floating back to Ichirin, and seemingly whispering.

> "Unzan says that from the reaction on your face to him, you're one of the few who know where his kind live, and reminds you to keep that secret."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "The only people who know about that were the ones involved in that incident back then. Which were...Uh...Rumia, Marisa, Reimu, Alice, me, and maybe one or two others. I know Rika had her old base around there, so she might know too. I remember they tried to help."

> Unzan does not respond, except to move one of his fingers over his mouth in a 'hush' position for a moment.

> "Unzan does not like talking about his old home much, and dosen't want anyone to overhear about it." Ichirin says, before adding, "Nue could be anywhere. She's tricky like that."

> At this point, Byakuren enters the room. With a tail and a bottle of sake attached to her waist. Ichirin and Unzan look angry.

> "Mamizou! You can imitate anyone you want except Lady Hijiri!" Ichirin shouts, before Unzan punches her on the head, causing the 'Byakuren' to vanish in a poof of smoke and reveal a dazed tanuki.


Mamizou Futatsuiwa
Moneylender of many faces

[Hanzo K.]

>Whoa...Wonder if there's a magic that lets us use something like that?
>"That...Had to hurt..."

[Raikaria]

>Whoa...Wonder if there's a magic that lets us use something like that?
>"That...Had to hurt..."

> Maybe. You presume using an illusion would fall under white magic, and likely a mixture of water and wind elements.

> "Ah, nah. I'm the youkai's secret weapon against saints and mikos and such. As such, I'm pretty tough... yep!" Mamizou says, standing back up. "Not to mention you have to be tough if you wanna make youkai pay up." she adds, shifting her glasses and, for but a moment, having a really menacing look.

[Hanzo K.]

>Eep! Time to 'throw magic at the wall and see what sticks!' Let's bash elements together until we get an invisibility spell!

[Raikaria]

>Eep! Time to 'throw magic at the wall and see what sticks!' Let's bash elements together until we get an invisibility spell!

> You know better than to just mash magic together. Doing so tends to create explosions, and you don't want to do that in the middle of Myouren Temple.

> You make a note to try back at either the Misty Lake or Voile Library, both of which have the room, and the latter has magical protection areas and, of course, Patchouli.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Eeep!"
>Well, let's hide somewhere then!

[Raikaria]

>"Eeep!"
>Well, let's hide somewhere then!

> You hide behind Unzan.

> "Uh, I'm only scary when someone owes me money and doesn't pay. Don't worry!" Mamizou says, sounding sincere and regretful for scaring you, before adding, "Well, that and around foxes. Foxes and Tanuki are ancient foes..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Poke out from behind the big guy. "Really..?"
>Wasn't there a book we found that talked about that kinda thing?

[Raikaria]

>Poke out from behind the big guy. "Really..?"
>Wasn't there a book we found that talked about that kinda thing?

> You have heard of the legends of the Tanuki/Kitsune wars in books, but oddly enough no-one knows why it started.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Um....Since you're a Tanuki...Would you happen to know why it all started between the two races...? None of the books I've read have shed any light on it..."

[Raikaria]

>"Um....Since you're a Tanuki...Would you happen to know why it all started between the two races...? None of the books I've read have shed any light on it..."

> "Nope, it started long before my time. I don't know what started it, I think it was some disagreement over land or something." Mamizou says, thinking.

[Hanzo K.]

>"I wonder if there's anyone else who would know more..?"
>Smile in our usual shy way. "Since I'm a Sprite of Magic and Knowledge, it's kind of my thing to uncover things like this.."

[Raikaria]

>"I wonder if there's anyone else who would know more..?"
>Smile in our usual shy way. "Since I'm a Sprite of Magic and Knowledge, it's kind of my thing to uncover things like this.."

> "Maybe Yukari, or her Shikigami, Ran Yakumo. She's a 9-tailed Kitsune, so she's a very old one." Mamizou says.

> As you two were taking, others entered the room. One looks like a sailor with an anchor on her back, one, as you know from Kogasa, is Nue, who Kogasa followed in. Kyouko comes inside too, as does Nazrin, who you've met before. Finally, Shou turns back up, shortly before Byakuren enters, and everyone goes silent.

> "I have called you here about grave news. I presume you all felt a disturbance in the magic today..."

> The sailor looks like she is about to speak.

> "Except maybe Murasa, on account of her being a phantom." Byakuren continues.

> "The reason is this. I was at the bedside of Yukari Yakumo as she passed away today. Yukari Yakumo is dead." Byakuren says, her voice breaking a little with the emotion.

[Hanzo K.]

>Yeah, that's big news. Let's just...Yeah. Sit down. Hard.

[Raikaria]

>Yeah, that's big news. Let's just...Yeah. Sit down. Hard.

> You stop floating and stand, before you sit down.

> Everyone is silent. Even Kogasa is speechless.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's just stare blankly for a bit.
>"........"

[Raikaria]

>Let's just stare blankly for a bit.
>"........"

> The first to break the silence is Murasa.

> "So... what happened. I doubt she died of age."

> "She died saving Makai, Makai was hit far harder by the whole magical absorption issue I told you about last time I called you all here, and Shinki was incapacitated. Yukari was badly wounded saving Makai." Byakuren says, sounding sincere, even if she was only telling the half-truth.

[Hanzo K.]

>Keep on staring.
>"..............."

[Raikaria]

>Keep on staring.
>"..............."

> "With Yukari dead, we need to be prepared. Without the possibility of Yukari's intervention, many parties in Gensokyo may begin to strive to fill the void, or take advantage of there not being Yukari to stop a disaster. For example, the Taoists or the Moriya Shrine could try and dominate the religion of Gensokyo, or the Hakurei Shrine may be at risk." Byakuren warns. "We need to be ready to assist parties when possible to end violence, while also being prepared to fend off any used against us."

[Hanzo K.]

>"......"
>Pull ourselves together and stand up!
>"...I'm not much of a fighter but..."
>Let's make a heatless and danger-less flame appear behind us for emphasis! (But make sure we're clear of people, and that we don't catch our wings in it.)
>"...But I can't give up! Rumia wouldn't, and neither would Yukari..."
>Let the flame flicker away as we get to the part about Yukari.

>Let the flame flicker away as we get to the part about Yukari.

> "Daiyousei, as much as I appreciate your enthusiasm, you have your own area to look after. After all, are you not one of the two head fairies of the Misty Lake? Fairies are the ones closest to nature, they'll know something is up, and someone needs to keep them under con..." Byakuren starts, before there are loud crashing sounds in the halls.

> "Destroy all the human things!" a voice says. "Youkai stuff too!"

> You hear a lot of voices agree... child voices.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Sigh.
>"Guess I'd better get to work, then."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "I don't like fighting, but if I have to, then I've got no choice.. Those fairies out there are just the first step...!"
>Let's go confront the fairies causing trouble!

[Raikaria]

>Sigh.
>"Guess I'd better get to work, then."

> "Indeed, it seems the fairies are already causing chaos." Byakuren says.

>Nod. "I don't like fighting, but if I have to, then I've got no choice.. Those fairies out there are just the first step...!"
>Let's go confront the fairies causing trouble!

> "I do not like fighting either." Byakuren says. "However, sometimes the strongest are the ones who only fight when they must."

> You go outside into the halls, and see a swarm of about thirty fairies. However, unlike at the mansion, these fairies are clearly not lake fairies. In fact, jdgeing by the shape of their wings, size, and general outfits, you would guess that these fairies are forest fairies.

> With the exception of one.


Luna Child
Yellow Fairy of Masked Sounds

> "Huh? Daiyousei's here?!" Luna says, sounding shocked.

[Hanzo K.]

>"I should've known that you, Star, and Sunny would be up to something...! Stop causing trouble you guys!"

[Raikaria]

>"I should've known that you, Star, and Sunny would be up to something...! Stop causing trouble you guys!"

> Luna puts on a smirk.

> "This isn't trouble. Fairies make up the bulk of Gensokyo's population. We're REVOLTING. We've had enough of being treated badly. Power to the fairies!" Luna says, which her force of thirty repeat after her.

> "Although, I guess you could say fairies and sprites... after all we do want you and Cirno and Lilly to help us out if we can convince you..." Luna says.

> Unzan's fist flies over your head and sends about ten fairies out of the front door as it collides with them.

> "Fairies are not allowed inside for these exact reasons." Ichirin says, indicating the damage and havoc the fairies had caused, multiple ornaments are destroyed, and the floors, walls, and roof are damaged.

[Hanzo K.]

>Look back at Unzan. "Nice punch."
>Then look back to Luna. "This will only end badly for the Fairies! Remember what happened the last time you tried to recruit Cirno for your schemes? She beat you all up. And right now, even though I don't like to fight, I've got more than enough magic to teach you guys to stop this!"
>Let's see about creating a set of four 'options' of each element.

>Let's see about creating a set of four 'options' of each element.

> Unzan nods.

> "Last time it was just us three! The others were just joining in. This time it's us three and a whole lot more! And we're not gonna burn down Cirno's house this time! Besides, we have a plan; a plan to bring back the fairy goddess herself!" Luna says.

> You form an orb of each element, a small rock for earth, and a sphere of air, fire and water.

> "Well, I'm not here to fight you guys. Just make our intentions known." Luna says. "Fairies! Back out!"

> The fairies follow Luna in the retreat.
