[COMPLETE] Daiyousei Quest - Rise of the Fairies

[Raikaria]

>Use a whirlwind spell to force them back out! "Lily! Gimme a hand with blowing these guys back out!"

> You, Patchouli and Lilly all form gales with various methods and spells. Some of the sky fairies help as well.

> "Puuuuush!" you hear Sunny demand, as the fairies break through the wind with their sheer numbers charging forward. "Ignore them, we just need to find the maids!" Sunny says, as her, Luna and Star become visible in the main hallway.

> "What is this? A Zerg Rush?" Kogasa asks.

> You lament that Yukari is not around to fix the fourth wall anymore.

[Hanzo K.]

>Alright, let's block them off with stonewall magic! "Sorry about this, but we're gonna have to do a little damage to wall them out!"

[Raikaria]

>Alright, let's block them off with stonewall magic! "Sorry about this, but we're gonna have to do a little damage to wall them out!"

> You block off the doorway with Earth magic, along with Patchouli, to stem the tide of fairies. Unfortunetly, this does nothing about the mass of fairies already inside, rushing around the place frantically looking for the maids.

> The fairies, along with Mystcia, Wriggle, and Kogasa, are attempting to stop the fairies rush around everywhere. You can't see Sunny, Luna and Star anymore.

[Hanzo K.]

>Bubbletrap and Whirlwindtrap time! Since that weird Fairy from before hasn't shown up yet!
>Wait, if Remilia and Rumia are in a funk, our calming ability should work to help snap them out of it, wouldn't it?

[Raikaria]

>Bubbletrap and Whirlwindtrap time! Since that weird Fairy from before hasn't shown up yet!
>Wait, if Remilia and Rumia are in a funk, our calming ability should work to help snap them out of it, wouldn't it?

> You trap the fairies that you can. You've not seen the weird fairy yet.

> You figure you might be able to calm them down, but you're not sure if calming would do anything about a depression. If they're down for the reason why you think they could be down... if it has anything to do with Yukari, you doubt your powers of calming could help.

> You get struck by three fireballs, one red, one blue, one yellow.

> "Can't fight what you can't see!" Sunny says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Tch..."
>Let's see....what do we have at our disposal that we don't need to see someone to knock them down.

[Raikaria]

>"Tch..."
>Let's see....what do we have at our disposal that we don't need to see someone to knock them down.

> You have plenty of area-of-effect magic, although it takes a lot more magical energy than focused attacks, and, of course, you can just spray danmaku.

> The three fairies keep firing occasional fireballs at you.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>Screw it. Fighting isn't going to get anybody anywhere.
>Use whatever spell we have that makes the loudest noise (being sure to aim it away from everyone). Something loud enough to get the attention of every fairy in here. If we can't make a loud enough noise, call out to Patchy to do it.
>If we have anything that can amplify our voice, do so. If not, ask Patchy if she does. If she doesn't, then just speak as loud as we can.
>"Stop this!"
>"Why are we all fighting each other? Don't we all want the same thing? For people to stop looking down on us, to stop bullying us? We won't get that by fighting like this! We all have to work together!"
>Indicate Sunny, Star, and Luna. "These three think we should revive Titania. But let me say this: how does that show the humans and youkai that we're anything but weak? If we try to run to someone else for help, are they going to think we're strong? No! They're going to see it as proof that we're weak! That we're worthless! That we can't even stand up for ourselves! They'll see it as proof of every insult ever thrown at a fairy! Is that what you want? Is that what any of you want to show the humans, that all we can do is run to someone else? That we're as weak and worthless as they say we are? Or do you want to prove them wrong?"
>"If we want people to stop bullying us, we have to make it happen ourselves! Not by crying for help, but by working together, standing up to them, and showing them just how strong we can be!"

>"If we want people to stop bullying us, we have to make it happen ourselves! Not by crying for help, but by working together, standing up to them, and showing them just how strong we can be!"

> You mix fire and air magic to make an explosion that would make Flandre proud. The shockwave of it reveals the three fairies as well.

> Using air magic to carry your voice better, you shout across the battleground. Cirno decides to help, by throwing in "And you all know eye'm the strongest! Eye'm not weak and worthless!"

> "But we're achieving all of this on our own. Won't summoning our goddess show what we're capable of?" Star says

> "We've come too far to stop now! The half of our forces not suited to fighting is already praying on the shore anyway!" Sunny blurts out. "The black one said we're a d...d...diversion! That's it!"

> Sunny looks at the other two.

> "What's a diversion again?"

> "I dunno." Luna says.

> "Me neither." Star replies.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Summoning her will only show people what she's capable of. It'll show them that we're so weak we have to run to her for help! If we want to show people what we can do, we have to do it ourselves!"
>Gotta finish things here quickly, because we'll need some help with the black one.

[Raikaria]

>"Summoning her will only show people what she's capable of. It'll show them that we're so weak we have to run to her for help! If we want to show people what we can do, we have to do it ourselves!"
>Gotta finish things here quickly, because we'll need some help with the black one.

> "But it'll show what we're capable of too! It'll show we're capable of bringing forth someone that powerful if anyone messes with us!" Sunny says.

> "Should we stop talking and just make her shut up?" Star asks.

> Luna shrugs.

[Hanzo K.]

>"You guys don't get it! Do you really think we'll be recognized by doing the fairy equivalent of 'running home to mom'? Cirno already knows that to become truly respected, you have to take things into your own hands and make others respect you by your own actions, powered by standing on your own two feet!"
>"..After all, that's what I've admired her for."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Say we bring Titania back. People would respect her, yes, but only her. The rest of us they'd still see the same way they always have. In fact, they'd likely think even less of us for not even having the courage to fight our own battles! If we want to change how people see us, we have to do it!

[Raikaria]

>"You guys don't get it! Do you really think we'll be recognized by doing the fairy equivalent of 'running home to mom'?

>"..After all, that's what I've admired her for."

> "Yeah! You gotta be strong to be da strongest! You're not da strongest just because you know someone strong!" Cirno says.

> Cirno doesn't react to your comment.

> "... Dumbo has a point there, but I don't care how everyone sees us! They won't bully us, or else Titania will blast them!" Sunny says. "Who cares what they think! We're not them mind-reader race things!"

>"Say we bring Titania back. People would respect her, yes, but only her. The rest of us they'd still see the same way they always have. In fact, they'd likely think even less of us for not even having the courage to fight our own battles! If we want to change how people see us, we have to do it!

> "Humans fight their battles with weapons. Why can't we?" Star asks. "In war you use everything available to you."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sigh. "Also, do you really think it's a good idea to bring her back right now? The balance is already in danger. If we bring her back now, she might not come back how she should! Do you really want to bring back a version of her that's all evil and twisted?! You'd just be hurting her too!"

[Raikaria]

>Sigh. "Also, do you really think it's a good idea to bring her back right now? The balance is already in danger. If we bring her back now, she might not come back how she should! Do you really want to bring back a version of her that's all evil and twisted?! You'd just be hurting her too!"

> "The damaged balance is why she needs to come back. She's the God of Nature, she can fix it." Luna says.

> "Why would she be evil?!" Star shouts.

[Hanzo K.]

>"The balance is out of whack because someone powerful died! Once it smooths over, she might be safe to bring back!"
>Then look to the side with a sad and worried look. "...Remember how she loved Sunflowers? I've discovered some bad news..."

[Raikaria]

>"The balance is out of whack because someone powerful died! Once it smooths over, she might be safe to bring back!"
>Then look to the side with a sad and worried look. "...Remember how she loved Sunflowers? I've discovered some bad news..."

> "I don't remember exactly that she loved sunflowers, never met her, but yeah, I remember that legends say that." Sunny says. "What's sunflowers got to do with anything?"

> At this point the fairies inside the mansion are quickly losing. This is accelerated when one makes the foolish move of attempting to get past Sakuya, up the stairs, to Remilia's room.

> "I may not have the energy to stop time... but I can do this..." Sakuya says, her eyes glowing red. "Eternal Meek."

> A massive barrage of knives comes from Sakuya, with her moving at a frightening speed between them and re-throwing them, catching them in mid air, as she glows with a blue aura. Her red eyes leaving a trace as she moves. At least thirty fairies fall victim before she returns to the top of the stairs, and falls to one knee, coughing.

> "I... can only handle that many in this state... eh." she mummers. Lilly White flies over to her and starts to glow, as some wind with a hint of green stirs up around Sakuya.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Well, I've discovered that a god, when desperate, might turn to fear as a form of faith. But if they get too much of it, they can become twisted and evil, maybe even change into a demon. Now, how does this tie to the Sunflowers? Well, all the information I have points to one thing.......Titania didn't actually fade. No, she changed, and became Yuuka Kazami, the Nature Demon."
>Let's try to make our way to Sakuya and use our healing magic too!

[Raikaria]

>"Well, I've discovered that a god, when desperate, might turn to fear as a form of faith. But if they get too much of it, they can become twisted and evil, maybe even change into a demon.

>Let's try to make our way to Sakuya and use our healing magic too!

> The fairies just laugh. "That meanie can't possibly be Titania!" Luna says.

> You head to Sakuya, but Lilly tells you not to interfere, as your magics may cancel each other out, and she's only putting the vigor of spring into Sakuya to re-energize her.

[Hanzo K.]

>Head back over. "You might not think it, but knowledge like that is my business to gather, since I'm a Sprite of Knowledge and Magic. And the facts point in no other directions, as much as you think otherwise....I couldn't believe it at first either, but after doing a bit more research, it all fell into place. Titania loved Sunflowers, went missing shortly after creating us Fairies, and it's generally assumed that Yuuka appeared not too long after Titania vanished, so the only explanation is that when Titania started to fade, she got scared, and resorted to fear as a source of faith. When a god resorts to fear as a means of faith, as I just said, they become evil and twisted....Which accounts for why Yuuka's so mean..."

> Luna looks at Sunny.

> Sunny looks at Star

> Star looks at Luna.

> "Even I get where she's coming from!" Cirno says.

> "We... can't give up. You must be wrong!" Sunny says.

> Cirno grins. "Hey Dai, you can tell they're confused. I'll handle them now!"

> "Yes. It's under control in here now. Go handle outside." Patchouli says. "The red one said it herself, they're a diversion!"

> "Wait, pajama-lady, you know what that means?" Star asks.

> "Yeah. You're being used to distract us. You three are not in charge at all, you're being used as tools!" Patchouli says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"...Then that means...! Someone needs to make sure the Little Sister is safe! That black fairy's on a whole other level compared to everyone else!"

[Raikaria]

>"...Then that means...! Someone needs to make sure the Little Sister is safe! That black fairy's on a whole other level compared to everyone else!"

> "Don't worry about that. Flandre is on a whole other level to everyone else. We'd know if someone fought her." Patchouli says, before she points to the still-walled off doorway. "Besides, I saw no black fairy come in before we sealed off the door. She's outside still, unless the red one made her invisible."

> "Nope, she's outside!" Sunny blurts out, before she goes back to fighting Cirno, the three fairies deciding to just fight Cirno instead of doing anything productive and arguing with you now, since arguing is just shaking their resolve.

> At this point, Meiling blasts through the rock wall, with three arrows embedded in her gut, and you see the black fairy.

> "Was that it? You could hold out all those fairies and yet when I get involved... you are no match for me. Oh well. Remaining invasion force, you're free to enter now. I'll return to guarding the prayer force." she says, before vanishing.

> A wave of fairies start heading through the door again, although it's nowhere near as thick this time.

> "H-How strong is that fairy to have beaten Meiling... without getting wounded at all?!" Koakuma says.

> "She's... not a fairy... she's..." Meiling starts, before falling unconscious.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Like I thought, she's no mere fairy. She's probably not even a Sprite anymore..!"
>Force another stone wall to stem the tide! Then tend to Hong!

[Raikaria]

>"Like I thought, she's no mere fairy. She's probably not even a Sprite anymore..!"
>Force another stone wall to stem the tide! Then tend to Hong!

> You form another stone wall, however, this one doesn't hold long at all. You guess without Meiling stemming the tide herself, the fairies can quickly break through with their combined power.

> You fly over to Meiling while the wall holds. You are aware that Meiling heals abnormally quickly, and will probably be on her feet again within minutes if you can remove the arrows. The arrows are red and made of energy, and feel hot when you pull them out. There are three in her gut, and one in her knee.

> You swear you heard Kogasa giggle when you noticed the one in the guard's knee.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Tch...I didn't want to fight, but..."
>Let's turn to face the strange fairy and hover slightly with as many elemental options as we can form. "...You're no fairy, are you?"

[Raikaria]

>"Tch...I didn't want to fight, but..."
>Let's turn to face the strange fairy and hover slightly with as many elemental options as we can form. "...You're no fairy, are you?"

> The strange fairy is outside, likely with the praying fairies apparently on the lakeside. You cannot simply turn to her, you have to leave the mansion.


> You are aware once you force your way through the fairies coming in it will be difficult to get back in without risking being blasted by attacks going to try and stop the fairies, as well as the possibility that Patchouli may form a barrier of her own.

[TL;dr: Going outside is a point of no return. Once you are outside you are outside. Sort out anything inside you think you should, and gather any allies you would want to support you.]

[Hanzo K.]

>"Everyone....We have to stop them. If they succeed, Gensokyo as we know it will be destroyed!"

[Raikaria]

>"Everyone....We have to stop them. If they succeed, Gensokyo as we know it will be destroyed!"

> Patchouli nods, before she takes note of Sakuya getting back up slowly, and Meiling healing.

> "I can handle them until the others recover with the help of Lilly and her allies." Patchouli says. "Take the youkai and karakasa and go outside."

> Wriggle, Mystia and Kogasa all fly over to you.

> There is a feel in the air... a foreboding feeling, like some energy gathering nearby. You presume this is a sign that you do not have much time left.
