[COMPLETE] Rumia Quest V Cont: Everything comes together

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "That's true. Any set time I need to get going?"

> "As soon as you are available." Aya says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "I can do it now then if that's fine. Shall we?"
>Let's get ready to roll, then get going when Aya prompts!

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "I can do it now then if that's fine. Shall we?"
>Let's get ready to roll, then get going when Aya prompts!

> "Good. Tenma doesn't like to be kept waiting... probably why he sent me." Aya says, before grabbing your hand.

> "Hang on tight." she warns, "With you I can probably only hit about 50% of my max speed, but that's still enough that if you let go, you'll probably die."

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Alright, let's go then!"
>Hang on tight, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Alright, let's go then!"
>Hang on tight, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

> You make sure to heed Aya's advice, and, on your word, you feel as if you're falling... upwards, the next thing you know you're far above the ground, moreso than when you fly.

> "That was just take-off." Aya says, before everything becomes a blur, and you lose all ability to hear anything, outrunning the very sound of the wind being ripped by, feeling like it's slicing you. Yet for Aya, it looks effortless. You can't even comprehend the speed, yet Aya claimed it was only half of her top speed at best.

> Within a few seconds, no more than twenty, you slow down, and are at the peak of the Waterfall of Youkai Mountain, just outside the Tengu Village.

> "So, how's travel at ultrasonic speeds?" Aya asks. "I coulda gone faster but I figured that since it's your first time probably even going supersonic that I should lay off."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Buuuuh...Geh? Wooogh."
>Yeah, pretty sure we left our stomach or something a while back there.

[Raikaria]

>"Buuuuh...Geh? Wooogh."
>Yeah, pretty sure we left our stomach or something a while back there.

> Aya laughs.

> Your stomach catches up a few seconds later. You make a mental note not to take rides from Aya again.


[Math Time!

Theory has it that if Aya is faster than Youmu, and Youmu can do 100 Yojuna in one slash, then Aya's top speed is at least 1/4 light speed.

299,792,458 m/s = speed of light
/4 = 74,948,114.5 m/s *Theoretical MINIMUM top speed*
/2 = 37,474,057.25 m/s *Half her max*
/ 340.29 m / s [Speed of Sound] = Mach 110,123.89

That's why I decided to have Aya lay off the speeds she boasted before. That's multiple times re-entry and escape velocity. In fact, to put into perspective, if for some reason Aya was on the Sun, she could escape it's gravity with ease. Let's ignore the fact she's be KFTengu.

Put simply, Aya is pretty much incomprehensibly fast. She also very, very rarely goes at top speed... simply because at those sorts of speeds... she's cause utter devastation. Not to mention she wouldn't be able to keep those speeds up for long without burning herself to a crisp from air friction

To explain better, Aya's 'top sustained speed' is probably about Mach 15, at which speeds she shapes her body to be almost arrow-like to reduce air friction. She *can* reach many multiple times faster speeds, but the faster beyond that she goes, and the longer, the more harm she causes herself.]

[Hanzo K.]

>"Wooogh....Remind me...To never take a ride from you....ever again....Urgh..."
>Yeah, let's break off and find someplace to sit down and fully pull ourself together.

[Raikaria]

>"Wooogh....Remind me...To never take a ride from you....ever again....Urgh..."
>Yeah, let's break off and find someplace to sit down and fully pull ourself together.

> "Huh? Did I do something wrong?" Aya asks.

> You sit down on a nearby rock, and Aya takes out her notepad and jots something down.

> "Reminder: Youkai that cannot normally travel at Mach 7.5 have bad reactions to doing so."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Oof...Took a while for my stomach to catch up...Even someone as durable as I am had trouble with just that much..."
>Let's slide off the rock and flop onto the ground faceup. "I'm lucky that I'm as durable as I am really. If I wasn't, then who knows how that woulda gone."

[Raikaria]

>"Oof...Took a while for my stomach to catch up...Even someone as durable as I am had trouble with just that much..."
>Let's slide off the rock and flop onto the ground faceup. "I'm lucky that I'm as durable as I am really. If I wasn't, then who knows how that woulda gone."

> "That's why I decided to try it with you." Aya says. "Do you know how rare it is for me to even take someone else for a trip at Mach 1?" Aya asks.

[Hanzo K.]

>"...Good point...."
>How are we holding up after that ordeal anyhow?

[Raikaria]

>"...Good point...."
>How are we holding up after that ordeal anyhow?

> You're recovering. You feel a little light-headed and your ears have gone a little funny from the sudden changes in air pressure. Your stomach has caught back up at least.

> "I mean, in the Tengu village there's only three, including me, who can even go Supersonic, and both of them I don't exactly get to fly with. I mean, why would I be flying with Hatate, and Lord Tenma doesn't leave the village much. Neither of them can even go Hypersonic."

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, if you're wantin' to know what all's happened with me, I'm still feelin' lightheaded, and my ears feel weird. Stomach's caught up though."
>Let's see about working our way into some shadows so we can regenerate faster.

[Raikaria]

>"Well, if you're wantin' to know what all's happened with me, I'm still feelin' lightheaded, and my ears feel weird. Stomach's caught up though."
>Let's see about working our way into some shadows so we can regenerate faster.

> "Ah that's just air pressure, you'll feel fine in a couple of minutes."

> Nothing improves when you go into the shadows. You're not wounded, there's nothing to regenerate, just disoriented.

[Darkoda]

>"How do you not get sick every time you fly that fast?"

[Raikaria]

>"How do you not get sick every time you fly that fast?"

> "Because I don't. I'm used to it. You youkai fly through magic, us Crow Tengu fly naturally, enhanced by magic. Crow Tengu biology is made to endure high speed movement and clashes. For example, my muscles are naturally springy, so they absorb the recoil when I collide with something at supersonic speed, otherwise I'd destroy my own arms or legs if I attacked someone at high speed from the recoil alone." Aya says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Makes sense. Just lemme pull myself together before we move on. And this time we'll fly normally for my speed."
>Let's just lie here for a bit until we recover. Ain't polite to go see a big cheese when we're out of it after all.

[Raikaria]

>"Makes sense. Just lemme pull myself together before we move on. And this time we'll fly normally for my speed."
>Let's just lie here for a bit until we recover. Ain't polite to go see a big cheese when we're out of it after all.

> "We're just outside the village. Supersonic speed is forbidden inside the village, or else the sonicbooms would cause havok." Aya says.

> About five minutes later, you feel better. You note Aya seems incapable of staying still.

[Darkoda]

>"I'm better now, let's go!"
>Eh, we don't exactly stay still either.

[Raikaria]

>"I'm better now, let's go!"
>Eh, we don't exactly stay still either.

> You can stay till when you need to. Aya seems to define restless.

> You follow aya into the Tengu Village, past the wolf Tengu on guard, which includes Momiji, to the largest building in the Tengu Village, a rather regal looking hut, several times larger than the other Tengu's houses.

> "Lord Tenma? The Darkness Youkai is here." Aya says.

> "Bring her in then." a gruff, male voice says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, what are we waitin' for? The big guy's already invited us in."
>Let's go in, with Aya leading the way.

[Raikaria]

>"Well, what are we waitin' for? The big guy's already invited us in."
>Let's go in, with Aya leading the way.

> You follow Aya inside.

> Inside is surprisingly plain, with little in it, besides containers of sake, some spare clothing, some food, and a rug.

> On the rug is a figure, sat cross-legged, arms folded, who is at least twice your size. He is an old-looking, muscular male, with a large, long nose. He has a grey goatee, and typical anime-hair [Not that you know it like that]. What is especially noticeable, however, is the fact he has the ears and tail of a wolf tengu, yet the wings of a crow, indicating he is both Crow and Wolf Tengu.


[Make the skin white, add wolf ears and tail, and a goatee, make him look less angry, and wingspan greater and you basically have Tenma.]

> "Greetings." the elder Tengu says, looking down at you, even while sitting.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod towards him. "So, you're the guy who runs things here? Bigger than I expected, I gotta admit. I was expecting someone closer to Aya's size really. You probably already know this, but I'm Rumia."

[Raikaria]

>Nod towards him. "So, you're the guy who runs things here? Bigger than I expected, I gotta admit. I was expecting someone closer to Aya's size really. You probably already know this, but I'm Rumia."

> "When you get as old and powerful as me, and have blood of both Tengu races in your veins, and have wrestled with the Deva, you grow big and strong." Tenma says. "I am Tenma, leader of the Tengu, but I also assume you already know who I am, although not all of my role in the history of these mountains. However, I did not call you here to bore you with tales of my exploits with the Deva in the old days. I came here to discuss... other matters."

> At this point, Tenma looks around.

> Aya, where are the other four?

> "You know one of them can't come out at day, another is nigh impossible to find, the third doesn't even technically live in Gensokyo, and the fourth is busy all the time with her commitments."

> "No matter. I'm sure they'll turn up when need be." Tenma says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Yeah, they'll show up sooner or later. You know how they are just as well as I do, if not moreso."
>Grin. "So, I'm guessin' you wanted to talk about that little incident I got involved in."
>Laugh a bit. "People really need to think more before kicking off an Incident, they always somehow find a way to cause me to get involved! Gahahaha!"

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Yeah, they'll show up sooner or later. You know how they are just as well as I do, if not moreso."
>Grin. "So, I'm guessin' you wanted to talk about that little incident I got involved in."
>Laugh a bit. "People really need to think more before kicking off an Incident, they always somehow find a way to cause me to get involved! Gahahaha!"

> "Hmm? You know who the other four are, and what I mean by it?"

> "Not so much. I already received a full report from Hatate. I know what happened." Tenma says, before he gestures for Aya to leave, and she does.

> "I also know you found the relic of the old age in the mountains too. The three-horned Oni. Don't worry, I already knew about her, I was the one who brokered the peace agreement, after all."

[Hanzo K.]

>Grin. "Not really, just guessing. I'm thinking you're either referring to the folks who helped me out in all this, or four of Gensokyo's top folks aside from ourselves."
>Nod. "But I kinda figured you knew about her. I'm wondering if there's a way to smooth things over between 'those four'. Yuugi and Suika already went to see her, because she told me to let 'em know where she ended up so she could explain things to 'em."

[Raikaria]

>Grin. "Not really, just guessing. I'm thinking you're either referring to the folks who helped me out in all this, or four of Gensokyo's top folks aside from ourselves."
>Nod. "But I kinda figured you knew about her. I'm wondering if there's a way to smooth things over between 'those four'. Yuugi and Suika already went to see her, because she told me to let 'em know where she ended up so she could explain things to 'em."

> "Trust me, while what Kasen did for us we shall not forget, we also recognise the sacrifice she made. She will never be accepted back into Oni society, not that she wishes to be anyway. The Oni cannot tolerate liars and traitors, it is in their very blood." Tenma says. "Trust me on that from my experience in the old days."

> "Anyway, I wanted to call you here for another matter entirely. Have you heard of the 'Big Five?'."

[Darkoda]

>Have we?
>If not; "I've heard of big four's but not a fifth. Who are they?"
