[COMPLETE] Rumia Quest V Cont: Everything comes together

[Darkoda]

>Toss a couple large dark energy shots at the waves.
>Send a laser barrage of dark energy after for insurance.

[SirChaotick]

>Also, don't forget to regenerate crosses so we have five on hand at any time.

[Raikaria]

>Toss a couple large dark energy shots at the waves.
>Send a laser barrage of dark energy after for insurance.

> You send out two large orbs of dark energy, which weaken the two blasts on impact, but fail to actually stop them. However, the lasers you fire afterwards perice the blasts of wind, and Tenma flies to evade them, while closing in.

>Also, don't forget to regenerate crosses so we have five on hand at any time.

> You form three more crosses.

[Darkoda]

>Cover the area in darkness
>Fly around while scattering dark energy mines. Keep the crosses on hand in case we need to intercept anything.

[Raikaria]

>Cover the area in darkness
>Fly around while scattering dark energy mines. Keep the crosses on hand in case we need to intercept anything.

> You cover the area in darkness. You wonder why you didn't do this sooner, honestly, seeing as you're pretty sure a Tengu isn't like a vampire and stronger in the dark.

> You scatter dark energy mines, although you can only keep a few up while maintaining your crosses at a time. Still, these seem to keep Tenma at bay, at least, until he breathes out heavily.

> "Vacuum Charge." he says, before you feel a gust of wind come from his direction, and he flies right towards you.

> The mines explode near Tenma, but the explosion seems to go around some shield he has around him. The most eerie thing is that the Tengu's flight, despite being faster than before is completely silent. You see him say something but you can't hear it when he gets close, and then, suddenly, the sound returns, as he is throwing a punch at you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Use a Dark Energy Doubleimage to block the punch, and dodge out of the way!

[Raikaria]

>Use a Dark Energy Doubleimage to block the punch, and dodge out of the way!

> You move back, leaving an 'after-image' of dark energy, although doing so is impossible without keeping the crosses up. The blob of dark energy in your shape blocks Tenma's punch, and explodes on him.

> You re-form the crosses afterwards, although you note they form a bit slower.

> Tenma is still airborne, and seems to be rather undamaged, he has a couple of bruises and small grazes, but that's about it. He is in a cross-armed block.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Handy little trick that. Haven't gotten much of a chance to really use it right though, but this one worked out pretty well. Also, couldn't hear ya earlier when you were about to throw that punch. I take it you were tryin' to explain another use of your power?"
>Let's pull the crosses in closer to us, and set them to a two-pointed version, and then have them overlap behind us, in a way that resembles a star.

[Raikaria]

>"Handy little trick that. Haven't gotten much of a chance to really use it right though, but this one worked out pretty well. Also, couldn't hear ya earlier when you were about to throw that punch. I take it you were tryin' to explain another use of your power?"
>Let's pull the crosses in closer to us, and set them to a two-pointed version, and then have them overlap behind us, in a way that resembles a star.

> "Yes. I used my power to reduce the air pressure in an area around me to zero, creating a vacuum where nothing existed. Sound works by going through particles in the air, but there was none, which muted me." Tenma says "It is also how I can achieve my top speed. There is no air resistance if there is a pocket around me with no air to cause resistance."

> You form a 'star' with your crosses. It forms more of a five-pointed shape with an inner ring, but it still looks like a twinkling star.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Makes sense. Fighting like this is more educational anyhow, I won't know how much to keep back so I don't cause lethal damage if that boundary's gone after all. Can't teach folks if I don't know how much to hold back after all, and who knows if other folks with an ability like mine, or a knack for it, will show up? So better to learn this sort of stuff now before something bad happens. Gotta know how to train 'em to keep 'em from causing too much trouble y'know. Well, here goes!"
>Move the 'star' away from our wings while still keeping it behind us, then set it to spinning! Then, focus our energy for another punch, just like we did with Yuugi!
>Then, use the 'star' like a booster to propel us towards Tenma faster than we usually fly at top speed, and unload that punch right into him!

[Raikaria]

>Then, use the 'star' like a booster to propel us towards Tenma faster than we usually fly at top speed, and unload that punch right into him!

> Tenma watches you set up, as you focus your power, before you use the 'star' as a booster, expelling dark energy from it as it spins to thrust yourself forward quickly.

> "Let's see if Yuugi's softened up..." Tenma says as you fly to him.

> You land your punch squarely on Tenma, and you feel the bones in your arm strain from the backlash at the speed, and your wrist hurts. On the other hand, Tenma buckles over and splutters, before he grabs your arm tightly.

> "You don't get free shots in a real fight." Tenma says with a smile, before he uses his other hand to deliver a powerful uppercut, sending you flying upwards.

[Hanzo K.]

>Try to right ourself, and see how we're holding up from that head-ringer of a punch.

[Raikaria]

>Try to right ourself, and see how we're holding up from that head-ringer of a punch.

> It takes a few seconds, but you manage to stabilize your flight, you're a good 100m higher than you were before, Tenma looking up at you.

> Well, you don't have a glass chin, it seems. Although your neck really hurts, and your head is rattled. At this point you note that at this altitude the only natural shadow there will be is cloud cover, and there are no clouds in the sky... none at all. Which is weird, seeing as you could have sworn there were clouds before.

> Tenma takes an open-palm stance and gathers air in it.

[Hanzo K.]

>Alright, let's reform the 'Star Booster' if it isn't around anymore after that head-ringer, then place it in front of us, and set it to spinning again while simultaneously adjusting it so we're enveloped in the spinning points, as if it were a drill-like barrier.

[Raikaria]

>Alright, let's reform the 'Star Booster' if it isn't around anymore after that head-ringer, then place it in front of us, and set it to spinning again while simultaneously adjusting it so we're enveloped in the spinning points, as if it were a drill-like barrier.

> You reform the star-booster. It was partially there, partially not, some of the energy was used in the bost, and some was lost by the impact.

> You bend the star so it's more like a barrier, more like a screw-top than a drill [You don't think bending the energy that much is a good idea], and Tenma launches a blast of air towards the sheild.

> The nature of it means there are holes, so you still get knocked back a fair bit by the air that goes through the gaps, but the worst of it is stopped.

> You feel a weight on your shoulders.

[Hanzo K.]

>Glance back to check what's going on. If it's Tenma, then flare up the aura violently.
>If it's our Wings, and they got busted up, then we'll have to put them away for the time if we can do so without aggravating 'em.

[Raikaria]

>Glance back to check what's going on. If it's Tenma, then flare up the aura violently.
>If it's our Wings, and they got busted up, then we'll have to put them away for the time if we can do so without aggravating 'em.

> You glance back and see nothing but your wings, which are fine, but the weight remains.

[Hanzo K.]

>It must be his air pressure power then. Let's try to surround ourself in a bubble of Dark Energy, to act as a repelling means to shake off the pressure.

[Raikaria]

>It must be his air pressure power then. Let's try to surround ourself in a bubble of Dark Energy, to act as a repelling means to shake off the pressure.

> You figure the pressure on your shoulders is... well... Tenma's Air Pressure. You attempt to enclose yourself in a sphere of Dark Energy, but you find the energy dissipate as you form it, due to the crushing air pressure.

> The weight is growing, although it did weaken when you tried to form the sphere. You're pretty sure now Tenma is increasing the air pressure around you.

[Hanzo K.]

>Heh...Good move. One worth copying even!
>So let's follow suit and try to form a binding encasement of Dark Energy around him, just like his Air Pressure Control is doing to us!

[Raikaria]

>Heh...Good move. One worth copying even!
>So let's follow suit and try to form a binding encasement of Dark Energy around him, just like his Air Pressure Control is doing to us!

> You find no impairment about forming dark energy around Tenma, but the Tengu seems unworried by the volatile force around him.

[Hanzo K.]

>Well then, let's bring it in closer, and do the same with him that his Air Pressure is doing with us.

[Raikaria]

>Well then, let's bring it in closer, and do the same with him that his Air Pressure is doing with us.

> You bring the energy close around Tenma. You note that the air pressure seems to have stopped rising around you.

> "I wonder if you can move with this pressure on you." Tenma says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Heh...Only one way to find out..."
>Let's try and work our way towards him.

[Darkoda]

>Wonder if he can keep up the pressure if he can't see us....wait, how did he find us the first time?
>The area is still covered in darkness right?

[Raikaria]

>"Heh...Only one way to find out..."
>Let's try and work our way towards him.

> You try and move towards Tenma. You can, but it's only at 1/5th of your top speed, and every movement feels like you're going through water, not air.

>Wonder if he can keep up the pressure if he can't see us....wait, how did he find us the first time?
>The area is still covered in darkness right?

> The area is covered in darkness still. You presume Tenma either has good enough senses in other regards, or is using air pressure to find you somehow. Of note is that he has seemed to only attack in retaliation, when you reveal where you are, besides this pressure thing.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Feels like water, but I can move some."
>Let's keep heading towards him, but be careful.

[Raikaria]

>"Feels like water, but I can move some."
>Let's keep heading towards him, but be careful.

> "Ah yes... that is good..."

> Suddenly you speed up, and it feels like there is nothing. Tenma is flying towards you, having broken through the dark energy, basically bearing the brunt of the explosion as a result.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Heh, going for one last pass eh? May as well make this end with a bang!"
>Let's charge up the Qi as we go at him, and once we're in range, time it so we punch his punch!

[Raikaria]

>"Heh, going for one last pass eh? May as well make this end with a bang!"
>Let's charge up the Qi as we go at him, and once we're in range, time it so we punch his punch!

> You charge Qi as much as you get the chance to do so as you fly towards Tenma.

> Your fists meet, and... nothing really happens. It appears to be a stalemate, neither budging.
