['Complete'] Rumia Quest V: The Further Adventures

[Hanzo K.]

>Hmm....how much stronger was she compared to how we were back then?
>And how much stronger are we now, compared to the us of that day?

[Raikaria]

>Hmm....how much stronger was she compared to how we were back then?
>And how much stronger are we now, compared to the us of that day?

> A lot. You were getting beaten pretty badly until Shinki saved you, especially after Yorihime sealed your powers. Although you're unsure how much of that was directly her power or the powers of the Gods she was calling upon.

> You're a little bit stronger, but not much at all. After all, you no longer have power to unseal.

[Hanzo K.]

>"To be honest, I'm not sure. it's hard to pin down how much of it was her own power, and how much was godly power she was borrowing."

[Raikaria]

>"To be honest, I'm not sure. it's hard to pin down how much of it was her own power, and how much was godly power she was borrowing."

> "Well, I guess this trail of thought is pointless anyway. No single magic can surpass the combined, pure magical energy collected from many dimensions." Yumemi says, before she hurls her Cross, spinning like a oddly-shaped boomerang, into the familiars Eirin has caging Chiyuri, and it destroys them, before returning to Yumemi.

> The interesting thing is it almost looked like the energy the familiars burst into was sucked into the magic crest on the cross, despite Chiyuri's device seemingly being unable to do this.

[Hanzo K.]

>"You caught that just now doc? Looks like hers is the Master Unit, the best of 'em all."
>Grin. "I gotta admit, that's a neat trick there. I gotta remember that for later." A cross made of Dark Energy...We should figure out how to make that a spellcard.

[Raikaria]

>"You caught that just now doc? Looks like hers is the Master Unit, the best of 'em all."
>Grin. "I gotta admit, that's a neat trick there. I gotta remember that for later." A cross made of Dark Energy...We should figure out how to make that a spellcard.

> "Yes, it figures the boss would have the best equipment." Eirin says.

> You think about making Dark energy into a cross, and think about the irony of it.

> At this point, Mima floats forward. "You know, you've been taking down to us for a while, and I'm curious as to how that device you're holding works."

> "I'm afraid I don't think you'd understand the science." Yumemi says.

> "No... I mean if it has a weakness!" Mima says, before she launches a massive barrage of magical stars from hr staff at Yumemi.

> The scientist's cross starts to spin on the axis of the magic circle, before it sucks in the stars Mima fired, with them dissolving into a blue mist near the circle itself.

> "Is that all? That amount of magical energy wouldn't even come close to overloading Chiyuri's magical absorption device."

> "Wait, it can overload? How much will cause that?" Chiyuri asks, worried.

> "About twenty times that. At once."

[Hanzo K.]

>Slip a grin towards Mima. "You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"
>Could we tell how much power Mima put into that little show?

[Raikaria]

>Slip a grin towards Mima. "You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"
>Could we tell how much power Mima put into that little show?

> "Does it involve testing limitations of science with flashy celestial magic?"

> You cannot tell, however, you think back to the Makai Invasion, when Mima fought Reimu and Marisa at the same time, and, since she wasn't actually on Shinki's side, was unlikely to have been serious.

> You also compare the star shower Mima sent to Marisa's Stardust Reverie, and, considering Mima is Marisa's teacher, you assume Mima should have the stronger magic, not the other way around, as it would be if that star shower was the limit of her powers.

[Hanzo K.]

>"With lots of explosions? Hell yeah."
>Look to Reisen. "Hey, do us a favor and go grab Marisa, and see if you can grab Yuuka too. We're about to do a little science of our own!"

[Raikaria]

>"With lots of explosions? Hell yeah."
>Look to Reisen. "Hey, do us a favor and go grab Marisa, and see if you can grab Yuuka too. We're about to do a little science of our own!"

> "Yes. We think alike."

> "No time. She'll use the chance to flee now that she has what she wants." Eirin says.

BONUS:

I made an alignment chart for Rumia Quest. Feel free to ask where characters would fall on this in the Rumia Quest Universe.

Yes, Yorihime is 'Good'. Just not for Gensokyo. She is acting in the best interests of her people. I'm actually hesitant to put Rika in Chaotic Evil, but she DID make a giant mech as large as mountains to exterminate all youkai, regardless of collateral damage. While her goal is somewhat noble, her means are deranged and she dosen't really care about anyone else in her way [And she shot Rikako, a human, when she tried to stop her, and had no issues attempting to kill Sanae, Marisa or Reimu]


Nue falls into Lawful Evil because she'd never do anything to actually harm anyone but her intentions are spiteful and she basically pulls tricks for the ELULZ. Her pranks are a step up in terms of spitefulness than what a Fairy would do.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Well, looks like we'll just have to make do with what we've got on hand this time around, eh?"
>Let's make a super-concentrated version of the Dark Bomb we made up on the moon. We'll compress it as far as we can, instead of the giant version we had that time.

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Well, looks like we'll just have to make do with what we've got on hand this time around, eh?"
>Let's make a super-concentrated version of the Dark Bomb we made up on the moon. We'll compress it as far as we can, instead of the giant version we had that time.

> "Yes. It seems so." Eirin says, drawing her bow.

> Mima draws a magical circle in the air with her staff, it seems to be a twelve-pointed star in the ring, you've not seen a magical circle with that many points be used before. The speed at which she draws it is impressive. In comparison, Yumemi's star in her Magic Circle is 6-pointed.

> Reisen takes her shooting stance.

> As you form your Dark Bomb, everyone else declares attacks.

> "Mind Starmine!" Reisen says, as she launches what seems to be a red rocket from her finger.

> "Peerless Arrows of the Heavens!" Eirin declares, as she fires countless magical arrows from her bow at a rapid speed [Think Quincy]

> "Pulsar Burst!" Mima says calmly, as a massive, pale blast comes from her circle, moving almost instantaneously, making a strange sound as it does so.

> The attacks all are on target, and Yumemi stands still, spinning her cross. There is a flash of light as the attacks all meet together, as when it fades, they are all gone, a blue mist being absorbed into the cross, Yumemi being fine, besides her hair being ruffled a little.

> "I must say, that would have overloaded Chiyuri's device. I applaud your effort, and also thank you for contributing to the stores of magical energy I am accruing."

> "Damnit, I can't use my strongest magic with others around, it would kill you guys too, it's completely indiscriminate." Mima says.

> "I wonder how we would have done with the Princess backing us up." Eirin says, adding, "Her items have more raw magical power than I do in my attacks."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Hey, Reisen, go grab her too then. It'll take a while for me to hit full power with this."
>Let's push it to the very limit of it that we can control! "You guys miiiight wanna mind your head with this one."

[Raikaria]

>"Hey, Reisen, go grab her too then. It'll take a while for me to hit full power with this."
>Let's push it to the very limit of it that we can control! "You guys miiiight wanna mind your head with this one."

> "I'm not going to say no to more magical energy." Yumemi says, as she starts to spin her cross again, before warning Chiyuri to move back.

> "Eeeeeerrrrrriiiiiiinnnnn~ was this woman sent by Mokou to try and kill me?" Kaguya says as she walks outside the palace.

> "Yes." Eirin lies.

> "You should tell me when that bitch sends someone to kill me so I can deal with them myself and then kill her." Kaguya says in a surprisingly hateful tone for her, before the other four impossible requests other than the Branch of Hourai, which she was already holding, float around her.

> "This one is particually tough. She can cancel magical energy. I fear w'll have to work together to dispatch her." Eirin says.

> "Ah... you want to use our combination attack."

> Mima draws the magical circle again, except this one seems slightly different in shade.

> Eirin and Kaguya take a stance, with Kaguya behind Eirin, both of which start glowing with a golden aura.

> Reisen takes a shooting stance again.

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Everyone's going full-tilt eh? Let's make this one hell of a light show!"
>Is our attack pushed to the very limit we can control?

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Everyone's going full-tilt eh? Let's make this one hell of a light show!"
>Is our attack pushed to the very limit we can control?

> "I'm not going fill tilt, if I did I'd kill you." Mima says.

> Well, you don't exactly know what the limit is, because you don't want to find out what happens if you surpass it, and with the energy being unstable in the first place... Still, it's as close as you wish to try.

> "Solar Eruption" Mima cries, as a massive blast of blue flame erupts from the magic circle, you can feel the heat from where you are.

> "Arcane Barrage: Hourai Elixir." Eirin and Kaguya announce in union, before an intricate barrage of blasts are launched from the pair, not being held back by the danmaku system.

> "Tele-Mesmerism: Madness Massacre." Reisen declares, before she multiples into about ten illusions, which all launch a hail of bullets.

[Yeah, Mima's magic is based on space and stars like Marisa's, but is far more powerful when she's serious, and she's mastered Celestial Magic completely. She can't pull out her strongest spells because it's based on Black Holes and Supernovas, which obviously would be very dangerous to anyone nearby. As in, you'd either get sucked in and crushed or incinerated. So would everything in a mile radius probably.]

[Hanzo K.]

>"Better mind your heads you guys! This is gonna be one hell of a blast!"
>Let's push it just a little further, and then fling it towards her!

[Raikaria]

>"Better mind your heads you guys! This is gonna be one hell of a blast!"
>Let's push it just a little further, and then fling it towards her!

> You push the orb as far as you dare, before hurling it.

> "Oh dear..." Yumemi says, reaching inside her outfit for a second, before there is a blinding eruption of blue magical energy, which forms into a pillar, which then recedes.

> You see Yumemi holding a second cross in her left hand. She is unharmed.

> "The one downside is that the cross can only absorb frontal magic, but when the energy erupts like that, I need a second cross to capture the energy that heads around me. If it was all concentrated in a single attack, one cross would do." Yumemi says, as a matter-of-fact, before adding "I had to make sure Chiyuri was OK as well."

> "Anyway, I get the feeling that you will not give up. So, I'll show you..." Yumemi says, before small red distortions open in the air, and from each distortion, an orb bearing the same magical crest appears. "That your attempts to harm me are futile. Even if you somehow overwhelm a single Cross, I have a hundred to call upon."

> The crosses all ignite into their cross-shapes from the orbs, forming an impressive display of overlapping crosses around Yumemi.

> "Magic is useless against me, Science trumps magic every time, except in the issue of finite resources, whereas Magic replenishes infinitely."

[Hanzo K.]

>Chuckle a bit. "Well, this is quite the surprise. But I wonder, do you have enough crosses in stock?"
>"I got a plan, but it'll take pushing her out of position."

[Raikaria]

>Chuckle a bit. "Well, this is quite the surprise. But I wonder, do you have enough crosses in stock?"
>"I got a plan, but it'll take pushing her out of position."

> "You cannot even overload one together, I only needed to pull out a second due to the explosion of magical energy covering a large area." Yumemi says, as most of the crosses, except the two she was already holding vanish.

> "I don't have any more time to play around with you. If you want to try and interfere in me saving a dimension so badly, find the extractor and try to stop if yourself, and confront me doing so. Chiyuri, we're off, I've done what I came here to do..." Yumemi says, turning to leave.

[Hanzo K.]

>Tch...This means we'd have to find the one in Makai...
>"Tch..."

[Raikaria]

>Tch...This means we'd have to find the one in Makai...
>"Tch..."

> "Is something the matter with my terms?" Yumemi says, still facing in the direction to leave.

[Hanzo K.]

>"You got who you came for, and I got the info I was after. So get going before I change my mind already."

[Raikaria]

>"You got who you came for, and I got the info I was after. So get going before I change my mind already."

> "So hostile. I've already shown you that you cannot do anything to me as it is, besides, you can't *stop* me anyway. Time-Space Shift." Yumemi says, before her and Chiyuri flicker a few times, and then vanish, but not before Yumemi opens another distortion around Rika's tank, and makes that vanish too, with Rika still inside, presumably sending her to safety.

> "Eirin... she had nothing to do with Mokou." Kaguya whines.

> "I know. Sorry Princess, still, she was strong."

> "Indeed, anyone who can withstand Hourai Barrage deserves my time."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Time-Space..."
>Grin. "Looks like we'll need Sakuya and Yumeko to join forces to lock her down. If we lock down her time-space alteration, she can't summon more of those crosses. And with just one cross at her disposal, she'll be easy pickings for a wide-angle blast!"

[Raikaria]

>"Time-Space..."
>Grin. "Looks like we'll need Sakuya and Yumeko to join forces to lock her down. If we lock down her time-space alteration, she can't summon more of those crosses. And with just one cross at her disposal, she'll be easy pickings for a wide-angle blast!"

> "Who's Yumeko?" Kaguya asks.

> "She's like Sakuya, except she's from Makai, and her power is more based on Space, while Sakuya's is based on time. The two are interlinked, so they can mess with time and space, respectively, just to a much lesser extent than the other one is capable of." Mima explains.

> "That went over my head. I'll get Eirin to explain it later." Kaguya says with a blank look on her face.

[Hanzo K.]

>"To make it simpler, they're both pretty much the same kind of person, just a little different. Kinda like how both you and Mokou are immortal, but complete opposites of the other."

[Raikaria]

>"To make it simpler, they're both pretty much the same kind of person, just a little different. Kinda like how both you and Mokou are immortal, but complete opposites of the other."

> "Don't mention her." Kaguya says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Just using her as an example."
>Nod. "But anyhow, the first goal should be to get Sakuya and Yumeko. With them, we should be able to overwhelm her."
>Fistpalm. "We should also get Marisa, and possibly Yuuka. If we're gonna overwhelm that absorber, we're gonna need all the firepower we can get."

[Raikaria]

>"Just using her as an example."
>Nod. "But anyhow, the first goal should be to get Sakuya and Yumeko. With them, we should be able to overwhelm her."
>Fistpalm. "We should also get Marisa, and possibly Yuuka. If we're gonna overwhelm that absorber, we're gonna need all the firepower we can get."

> "We also have to find out where the absorber actually is." Mima says, before adding "Do you even know where to find Yuuka? And what about how to reach Yumeko with Shinki being unable to leave Makai, so you having no way to contact her?"
