Rumia Quest 4: Living in the Shadows [Complete]

[Raikaria]

>Since she's charging, let's fling some non-spell Dark Energy at her, and set it to blow up when it get close, or touches her!

> You use the chance to counter-attack, throwing some dark energy at Chen. You don't manage to break her spell before she starts dashing around again.

[Hanzo K.]

>Ah well, time to hold out again until she goes back to charging!
>When she does, barrage her with lasers!

[Raikaria]

>Ah well, time to hold out again until she goes back to charging!
>When she does, barrage her with lasers!

> You aim to hold out, until you realise when Chen's dashes are heading, towards Reimu and Sanae. This means the danmaku heading towards you is thinner, but Chen seems to want to make a pass at Sanae and Reimu since she has the speed right now.

> Ran is currently in a stalemate with the two Mikos. This is the first time you've seen Reimu fight anyone and not curbstomp them, and she has backup!

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's charge at her with a field of Dark energy in front of us, like a comet!

[Raikaria]

>Let's charge at her with a field of Dark energy in front of us, like a comet!

> You are slower than Chen, this will not work.

[Hanzo K.]

>Alright then, let's settle for dropping a Dark Energy mine right on her!

[Raikaria]

>Alright then, let's settle for dropping a Dark Energy mine right on her!

> You put a mine of dark energy in Chen's path, but she just darts out of the way, changeing direction. This still delays her enough for Reimu to notice Chen's approach and warn Sanae, with the two mikos dodging Chen's fly-by. Chen then arcs back like a boomerang and returns to you, before stopping for another recharge.

[Hanzo K.]

>Alright, bombard her with the works!

[Raikaria]

>Alright, bombard her with the works!

> You, Wriggle and Mystcia unleash nonspells upon Chen, and manage to break her spell.

> "Raaaan! I can't win against all six of them!" Chen says.

> You look to Ran, and notice she's getting the upper hand against the two mikos, unleashing an absurd amount of danmaku, which looks completely unfair.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hey guys, you can take Chen on yourselves, right? I'll go help Reimu and Sanae!"
>Let's make a large orb of Dark Energy above Ran, and drop it on her!

[Raikaria]

>"Hey guys, you can take Chen on yourselves, right? I'll go help Reimu and Sanae!"
>Let's make a large orb of Dark Energy above Ran, and drop it on her!

> "Uh..." the others say, as you fly over to Ran.

> You form an orb of dark energy and drop it on Ran, but her spellcard just blocks it with the sheer amount of danmaku.

> You don't think being this close is a good idea. Especially since there seems to be more and more danmaku being added every second to the flurry. Reimu and Sanae can't even fight back.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Tch..."
>Pull back to the others then.

[Raikaria]

>"Tch..."
>Pull back to the others then.

> You pull back to the others as Reimu pulls out a Fantasy Seal, blasting away a large amount of danmaku.

> Chen is currently dodgeing three nonspells, one by Cirno, one by Daiyousei, and, the main one, being from Kogasa, one of her spiral danmaku nonspells.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Wow...everyone's giving it their all, huh?"
>Let's charge up some dark energy to the limit!

[Raikaria]

>"Wow...everyone's giving it their all, huh?"
>Let's charge up some dark energy to the limit!

> Sure seems like it. You note Ran's spam puts Cirno's spam to shame right now. You can't even see the Miko duo through all of her danmaku. [Yes, she's using Illusion God "Descent of Izuna Gongen"]

> You charge up a sphere of dark energy. You can't join in until one of the other three stop, but Daiyousei, naturally, notices and backs off. This, however, gives away to Chen that you've returned, and she instantly starts making evasive maneuvers.

[Darkoda]

>Can we pull off homing shots now? If so that would be useful about now.

[Raikaria]

>Can we pull off homing shots now? If so that would be useful about now.

> You can utilize a minor amount of homing in your dark energy orbs. Like Seiga's however, the homing is avoidable, and limited.

> The only person who can use full homing shots is Reimu, due to the Hakurei Orb's power. Even then, her homing shots are like tickles to compensate in the spellcard rules.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well, let's start flying at top speed ourself! If we gotta lessen the charge to manage, then so be it.

[Raikaria]

>Well, let's start flying at top speed ourself! If we gotta lessen the charge to manage, then so be it.

> You need to release a bit of power so you can focus on flying. Keeping Dark Energy stable ain't easy you know!

> You're not able to keep up with Chen, but Chen is having to dodge Cirno, and Mystcia, who is the fastest in your group in a line, so is actually catching up with the wildly dodgeing Chen.

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's drop a few Dark Mines in Chen's Path, but detonate them if she gets by, and Mystia isn't too close.

[Raikaria]

>Let's drop a few Dark Mines in Chen's Path, but detonate them if she gets by, and Mystia isn't too close.

> You have to virtually dispel the orb you have charged to do this.

> You catch Chen in a few impacts, and she crashes to the ground.

> "Aw.. sorry Ran." Chen says sadly.

> You look in the direction Chen is looking, and see Ran right behind you, and Reimu and Sanae on the floor. Ran won.

> "It seems the two mikos are not worthy of seeing Mistress Yukari right now. Let us see if you six can finish what they started... especially you, Rumia." Ran says.

> You note some sweat on Ran's forehead, and she seems to have taken a fair share of hits. She's far from unscathed and in peak condition.

Boss 2: Phase 2: [Tired] Ran Yakumo

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Alright, I'll give it everything I've got!"

>Unused Spellcards?

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Alright, I'll give it everything I've got!"

>Unused Spellcards?

> You have:

Moon Sign: Moonlight Ray
Night Sign: Night Bird
Darkness Sign: Demarcation
Eclipse Sign: Lunar Eclipse

Night Sign: Midnight Bird
Moon Sign: Reflective Mirror of the Night
Shadow: Moonless Night [Last Word, requires no spells left]

Kogasa's Spark is still down.

Everyone else's spells are still up. You still have control of everyone. Only 3 characters can attack at the same time.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Alright, let's start this off right! Moonlight Ray!"

[Raikaria]

>"Alright, let's start this off right! Moonlight Ray!"

> You fire off your Moonlight Ray spellcard, but Ran effortlessly avoids this basic spell. She dosen't even bother counter-attacking.

> "That level wouldn't even beat Chen." Ran says simply.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Doesn't matter, this is part of my plan!"
>Keep going until it wears off, then unload Night Bird if we get a chance!

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Doesn't matter, this is part of my plan!"
>Keep going until it wears off, then unload Night Bird if we get a chance!

> "I assure you, you cannot outsmart me." Ran warns.

> Your spell times out and Ran just waits until you can unleash your next spellcard. You do so, but Ran evades the spell like a pro.

> "You cannot beat me Rumia." Ran stresses. "If Reimu and Sanae together could not beat me, how do you expect to beat me alone?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Simple, I've got something they don't."
>"Cirno, Kogasa! Let's go for it!"
>Next up is Demarcation!

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Simple, I've got something they don't."
>"Cirno, Kogasa! Let's go for it!"
>Next up is Demarcation!

> You move onto your next spell, Ran again doesn't counter-attack in the opening period. Demarcation isn't working either.

> What would you like Kogasa and Cirno to do? You have control over them after all.

[Hanzo K.]

>Cirno uses her bigger cards.
>Kogasa Spellcards?
>Alright, we'll move on to Lunar Eclipse next!
