Satori Quest - Day in the Life

[Nekomata-chan]

>..No Double Black Death Butterfly, but they'll do. That was a nice one though, but eh.
>Cancel Diamond Blizzard.
>Glance at Reimu with a playful smirk. "Hope you don't mind me using this one Reimu, but it's the best tool for the job. Recollection: Evil-Sealing Circle!"

>You cancel Diamond Blizzard with just enough time for Star to regain her balance in mid-air.
>Reimu shrugs. It seems she's too engrossed in the fight along with Marisa and Yuugi. Yukari is just chuckling.
>Evil Sealing Circle activates, and the red amulets fly in a set pattern with red arrowheads zooming in after. Star is trapped, but she doesn't seem all too bothered.

>"I may just be a fairy..." Star begins, with a grin, "...but can most fairies do THIS?"
>She charges a rather large laser and shoots it straight at you.
>It hits, but just barely. It slams directly into your arm, but not the arm you're holding the brandy with.

[Hanzo K.]

>"...Impressive!" Cancel the spellcard.
>Float down to the ground. "That's enough. You at least have proven yourself. When the other one recovers, I'll test her. But for now, You pass."
>Smirk, then swish around what's left of the brandy. "You three will find out just what you have passed for once I have tested the other one."

[Nekomata-chan]

>"...Impressive!" Cancel the spellcard.
>Float down to the ground. "That's enough. You at least have proven yourself. When the other one recovers, I'll test her. But for now, You pass."
>Smirk, then swish around what's left of the brandy. "You three will find out just what you have passed for once I have tested the other one."

>The spellcard cancels, and Star stays floating just several inches above the ground with a triumphant grin.
>She walks over to Luna, slapping the latter's hand with a smile.

>Luna steps forward with a blank face, then she folds her arms and floats upwards.
>After several seconds of silence, she grins in an almost dark manner, "Bring it on."

[Hanzo K.]

>Float up and match her grin. "Do feel free to apply your power like your friend did, it might help you as much as it did her." Then ratchet up the grin to full-blown villainous.
>Use Luna Cyclone! "But for now, just try to keep up. Recollection: Luna Cyclone!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Float up and match her grin. "Do feel free to apply your power like your friend did, it might help you as much as it did her." Then ratchet up the grin to full-blown villainous.
>Use Luna Cyclone! "But for now, just try to keep up. Recollection: Luna Cyclone!"

>Luna nods, "Do feel free to fight at full power. It will be fun."

>Luna Cyclone activates, and a multi-pointed star of yellow bullets mixed with aligning circles of yellow shards force Luna away from you.

>Luna quickly flies close against the wall, and you can see her face is blank saved for the determined glimmer in her eyes.
>She flies close behind you, right into a spot that you cannot see, and fires several bullets of her own into the back of your neck.

[Hanzo K.]

>We don't need to see or hear her if we can just read her thoughts. She did say to go all out after all. That naturally means using our full ability.
>"Well, you actually managed to hit me in a blindspot, that's rather impressive." Cancel Luna Cyclone.
>"But don't think it will be that easy. Recollection: Border of Wave and Particle!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>We don't need to see or hear her if we can just read her thoughts. She did say to go all out after all. That naturally means using our full ability.
>"Well, you actually managed to hit me in a blindspot, that's rather impressive." Cancel Luna Cyclone.

>Luna grins, "I'm not like Star, I don't try and wear out my opponent with teases!"
>The bullets fade, but Luna is still moving rather slowly around you.

>"But don't think it will be that easy. Recollection: Border of Wave and Particle!"

>Border of Wave and Particle activates, and Luna is pushed back yet again by the spinning waves of small bullets.

>It seems she has a trick up her own sleeve. She is firing defensive lasers around the room to make fleetingly small paths for her to move around in. Luna doesn't actually seem fazed by the sheer amount of bullets around her.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, isn't that interesting? A fairy using defensive lasers. These three certainly do live up to what we've heard.
>Let's keep up the spellcard until it times out, or she manages to break it.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Well, isn't that interesting? A fairy using defensive lasers. These three certainly do live up to what we've heard.
>Let's keep up the spellcard until it times out, or she manages to break it.

>Luna keeps up her defensive lasers, occasionally lowering or increasing the thickness or speed depending on her situation.

>The spellcard times out first, and Luna floats directly ahead of you with a small triumphant grin.
>After a slight pause, she tilts her head, "Is that all you've got?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Not by a long shot. This next card will be certain to get the job done. Recollection: Knock-out in Three Steps!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Not by a long shot. This next card will be certain to get the job done. Recollection: Knock-out in Three Steps!"

>Luna flies backwards, with a small smirk matching yours.

>Knock-Out in Three Steps activates, and the first sequence of 'steps' ensues.
>Luna simply dances between the rows of bullets in the first 'step'. As the second and third 'steps' of bullets appear, Luna flies forward and watches as they float behind her.
>She gives you a small grin, simply dancing between all the bullets as they appear.

[Hanzo K.]

>Return the grin, the next part's gonna throw her for a loop!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Return the grin, the next part's gonna throw her for a loop!

>Luna makes a rather bad error.
>She flies backwards from the first and second lines of bullets, and narrowly avoids the large bubble bullets.
>She's hit with one of them and starts spinning in mid-air, before regaining her composure and re-balancing her hat.

[Hanzo K.]

(Ah, I remember doing THAT once. Never recovered. Brings back both bad AND good memories.)

>Let's keep it up! She's bound to get tripped up again, she is still just a fairy after all.

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's keep it up! She's bound to get tripped up again, she is still just a fairy after all.

>You keep it up, but Luna is a little wiser. She keeps in front of the area of the denser bullets spawning.
>Luna occasionally skims her leg or arm on the first two 'steps' of bullets, but keeps extremely wary of the back-area.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's keep going until we timeout!
(After we timeout)>"Well, time for the next one. Recollection: Boundary of Motion and Silence!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's keep going until we timeout!
(After we timeout)>"Well, time for the next one. Recollection: Boundary of Motion and Stillness!"

>The spellcard times out.

>Boundary of Motion and Stillness activates, and Luna is chased by purple bubble bullets spawning spirals of blue bullets. She seems frantic at first, but she finds her own pattern and evades them with ease.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, these fairies really do live up to the rumors.
>Let's keep it up until it times out!
(Once it times out)> "Had enough? Too bad, there's more. Recollection: Event Horizon!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Well, these fairies really do live up to the rumors.
>Let's keep it up until it times out!

>Luna keeps weaving through the bullets, but you can see she's a little worn out.
>The spellcard times out.

(Once it times out)> "Had enough? Too bad, there's more. Recollection: Event Horizon!"

>Just before the spellcard activates, Luna sighs in exhaustion.

>Event Horison activates, and Luna is encased in rainbow-coloured stars.

[Hanzo K.]

>Alright, let's keep this one up until it's done too! We won't be done until she wears out fully...Or until we run out of spellcards, whichever comes first.
(Once it times out/She runs out of energy to fight back)> "Well, have you had enough?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Alright, let's keep this one up until it's done too! We won't be done until she wears out fully...Or until we run out of spellcards, whichever comes first.
(Once it times out/She runs out of energy to fight back)> "Well, have you had enough?"

>Both occur at the same time. Luna slowly floats to the floor, panting.
>"No..! I'm... still good for some time yet!!" Luna insists.
>"Luna, ya' dumbass!! Just forfeit or something before you kill ya'self!!" Sunny shouts.
>"No, Sunny! Just shut up and let me concentrate!" Luna shouts back.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Well then, I suppose I should end this on a strong note then, can you withstand this next card? Recollection: Storm on Mt. Ooe!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Well then, I suppose I should end this on a strong note then, can you withstand this next card? Recollection: Storm on Mt. Ooe!"

>Luna growls, and flies high into the air at a rather unusual speed for a fairy.
>Storm on Mt. Ooe activates, and Luna is showered with purple bubble bullets.

>She is grazed on the arms and legs several times, but her sheer determination keeps her from getting hit. She even begins firing danmaku of her own at you, in the form of thin but well-aimed lasers that don't do much damage or actual feeling.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's keep it up until the card times out.
>Smirk evilly. "How's the weather? Stormy, isn't it?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's keep it up until the card times out.
>Smirk evilly. "How's the weather? Stormy, isn't it?"

>The spellcard times out.

>Luna stares daggers at you. It seems she's overcome her exhaustion, though not entirely.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smirk. "Well, that livened you up, eh? Let's keep this dance going a mite longer then, shall we?"
>Enough spellcards for now, let's use some normal danmaku. Lay out a thick web of lasers!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smirk. "Well, that livened you up, eh? Let's keep this dance going a mite longer then, shall we?"
>Enough spellcards for now, let's use some normal danmaku. Lay out a thick web of lasers!

>You throw out a large entangling web of lasers, but it seems Luna isn't having any of that.

>She weaves in and out of the lasers at dangerous speeds, flying gradually closer.
>In her hand, you see a laser forming as well as her other hand charging up a lot of danmaku.
>Her face... well, it's a look of pure determination that even Reimu or Marisa would find hard to rival.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, it isn't our style, but what the hell. "I don't usually do this, but I saw something like this in Sanae's mind when she visited, and thought it would fit this!"
>Let's drop the web in favor of charging a single, higher-concentration laser in our right hand, then charge at her at top speed, using our left to fire a rapidfire barrage of just about every sort of danmaku we can unload short of lasers!
>Once we get in physical range, give 'er a good right straight, and let off the laser a second after we make contact!
(Optional)> As a follow-up, fire a barrage of metal fatigue shots from familiars arranged in front of our shoulders at full power!

(Incoming Super Robot Wars shoutout! Specifically, Trump Card.)

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's drop the web in favor of charging a single, higher-concentration laser in our right hand, then charge at her at top speed, using our left to fire a rapidfire barrage of just about every sort of danmaku we can unload short of lasers!
>Once we get in physical range, give 'er a good right straight, and let off the laser a second after we make contact!

>Luna doesn't even seem to register what you said.

>She keeps charging her own laser, swerving erratically around your rapid curtain of bullets.

>As you get close, Luna suddenly drops several feet to evade your attack, then her laser collides head-on with yours almost a split-second before it hits her.
>Both your lasers disintegrate, but Luna's arm is caught with the tail-end if your laser and she is sent spiralling into the wall.
>She recovers quickly, floats back in front of you and ignores the shouts of Sunny and Star that are telling her to forfeit.

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle a bit, with our head leaned back, and one hand over our face, but leaving the mouth visible.
>"Hahahaa...It's been a long time since I've actually gotten into a battle like this, I don't usually get this fired up...!"
>Rapidfire Lasers! Pull out some familiars to help out if we have to!
