Rumia Quest VI: Succession [Complete]

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's slip between shadows while probing her defenses with the occasional Laser while we keep up the Crest Barrage.

[Raikaria]

>Let's slip between shadows while probing her defenses with the occasional Laser while we keep up the Crest Barrage.

> Tewi actually evades the lasers, and when she does so, the red and blue streams stop.

> When you get close, Tewi pulls out a spellcard.

> "Fortune Sign: Lucky Rabbit!" she announces, as crests start to spin around her.

[Hanzo K.]

>Back off, and slip out of a shadow a nice little distance away. "Whoa, clever little bunny ain't ya?"
>Let's match her by making some Dark Energy Mines orbit her slowly as well!

[Raikaria]

>Back off, and slip out of a shadow a nice little distance away. "Whoa, clever little bunny ain't ya?"
>Let's match her by making some Dark Energy Mines orbit her slowly as well!

> "What?" Tewi says.

> You for dark energy mines, and then , danmaku starts raining down on Tewi, and being reflected all around as it hits the crests. This danmaku sets off your mines, but it dosen't seem to stop her spell. Instead, you have a barrage of small danmaku in hard-to predict directions.

[Hanzo K.]

>Oh-ho! Clever little bunny, using a trick like that. Let's throw out a few Wave Shots to punch through!
>What spellcards do we have with us currently?

[Raikaria]

>Oh-ho! Clever little bunny, using a trick like that. Let's throw out a few Wave Shots to punch through!
>What spellcards do we have with us currently?

> You throw out wave-like shots, but while they protect you, they can't get to Tewi.

> You have the same set as you did in Rumia Quest 5, as this is only a couple of days afterwards. I'm too lazy to re-type, so:

> Night: Dark Curtain
A basic attack in premise, it's basically a massive swath of danmaku, that pure dodging skills are needed for, no fancy tricks.

> Yin Sign: Pinpoint of Light
An attack similar in concept to Boundry of Humans and Youkai, dark-cloud danmaku surround the target, slowly closing in, as small red bullets are fired from various angles. Unlike Boundry of Humans and Youkai, this is not a survival card. The clouds slowly re-align so the target is in the center of them as they move, but too swift movement will have them enter the clouds.

I know there's a better comparison but I can't recall off the top of my head what it is.

> Yang Sign: Darkness within Light
A combination of short-term lasers, warning given before they fire, that each then sweep a small area, and a dark energy orb that follows the foe, occasionally stopping and unleashing a wave of danmaku from it.

> Madness: Makai's Homecalling
An attack that instantly has you slash where the target is with a dark energy blade, leaving a trail of dark energy that lets out danmaku [Think like the trails Youmu leaves]. This is repeated, getting faster as you repeat it, making this spellcard hectic towards time out.

> Battle that Scarred the Moon
After the Lunar Event, you got an 'event' spellcard, similar to ones such as Curse of the Heavens: Apollo 13. This spellcard has you charge up and launch massive orbs of dark energy, while letting loose smaller ones from the growing orb. You presume this is based on your 'Dark Bomb' you used. There are also arrow danmaku that fly towards you, missing narrowly, from the edge of the spell plain. You guess this is based on the Sisters attempts to stop you.

===

You also have Moonlight Ray, Demarkation, Night Bird, and Dark Side of the Moon, which you re-made, since you couldn't find that one again. However, these are for dealing with weaker foes, or playing. Despite this, they are amped up to how they were way back when.

You have a slot for a 10th spellcard, a Last Word, but you haven't actually made one yet.

Wait, why are we fighting? We were only here to find Iku, and Tewi said Iku was turned away, too. Shouldn't we have just asked which way Iku went? Well, let's at least be sure to do that before we leave.

[Darkoda]

Because Tewi didn't bother to let Kaguya know about the shade issue I think
Though I'm not sure why we didn't just tell Tewi those shadows aren't from Mokou........

>"By the way, those shades are familiars of that Celestial that's breaking out. They're bothering everyone."
>She avoided the lazers for a reason, use Yang sign on her.

[Raikaria]

Wait, why are we fighting? We were only here to find Iku, and Tewi said Iku was turned away, too. Shouldn't we have just asked which way Iku went? Well, let's at least be sure to do that before we leave.

The problem is, can you trust Tewi? Is she lying, or truthful? Besides, she kind of crossed the line when she had rabbits jump on your back. If you didn't fight, Saukya probobly would, just to teach the rabbit a lesson.

Because Tewi didn't bother to let Kaguya know about the shade issue I think
Though I'm not sure why we didn't just tell Tewi those shadows aren't from Mokou........

>"By the way, those shades are familiars of that Celestial that's breaking out. They're bothering everyone."
>She avoided the lazers for a reason, use Yang sign on her.

It's less 'Not bothering' and more 'Her orders don't let her'.

There's a solution I'm surprised hasn't been taken too.

> "Not caring~" Tewi says.

> You counter her spellcard with your own deceleration, and the lasers easily pierce through her small danmaku and crests, knocking her down and breaking her spell.

> Tewi hops back up, and is able to evade the rest of your spellcard, now she has her full mobility back.

> "Ugh, I don't have time to play around, we gotta prepare for Mokou. I'll end this now!" Tewi says, pulling out a red card.

> "Ancient Duper!" she declares, as two red lasers form from her hands, then split, so they form a funnel, trapping you. Danmaku starts to bounce in arcs around the outside of the funnel, as she releases rapid patterns of blue bullets.

> You're shocked the rabbit has a Last Word of all cards.

[Darkoda]

>Dodge while returning fire!

[Raikaria]

>Dodge while returning fire!

> You dodge while returning fire, the evasion being rather simple sidestepping.

> The the bullets on the outside suddenly expand in arc, and head inside, in a way that it's pretty clear that unless you find a blindspot, it's gonna hurt.

[Darkoda]

>If the bullets are expanding outwards then move close enough to where we're within the arcs to begin with. Would make Tewi's shots a bit harder to dodge but with the kind of people who have been trying to smack us around lately we should be fine.
>Do still keep shooting her, we can fend off bullets we can't avoid with more dakka.
>On that note if we do actually need more firepower Dark Curtain is there. Only if necessary though.

[Raikaria]

>If the bullets are expanding outwards then move close enough to where we're within the arcs to begin with. Would make Tewi's shots a bit harder to dodge but with the kind of people who have been trying to smack us around lately we should be fine.

>On that note if we do actually need more firepower Dark Curtain is there. Only if necessary though.

> You're worried for a second, until you realize something. You've seen Icicle Fall: Easy enough to know when closing in is the answer!

> You sidestep faster, due to the increased proximity, and the arcs pass right under you. Tewi then stops, moves, and makes a new channel, but you just repeat.

> "N-No fair!" Tewi says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Against cards like this, closing in makes it not too hard to dodge at all."
>Let's keep at it!

[Raikaria]

>"Against cards like this, closing in makes it not too hard to dodge at all."
>Let's keep at it!

> "But that's not fair! You're not supposed to think of walking towards the one shooting you!" Tewi protests, as you break her spellcard, and she falls flat on her face.

>She picks herself up. "Well... you won, so accordin' to the rules I don't got a choice now. At least I won't get told off since I tried."

[Hanzo K.]

>"You know, you could've just sent a spare rabbit to pass the message along, since there's so many of you guys around here. Would've saved us the trouble of getting into this little dustup."

[Raikaria]

>"You know, you could've just sent a spare rabbit to pass the message along, since there's so many of you guys around here. Would've saved us the trouble of getting into this little dustup."

> "There aren't spare rabbits. The Princess and Eirin told us we all have to stay away and in position."

[Hanzo K.]

>Raise an eyebrow. "Seriously? The way you were talking, there's as many of you guys as there are fairies down at the lake."
>Sigh. "I know that the whole bit with Mokou is a thing, but she's busy keeping the Village safe from the Shades right now as far as I know. So I don't think you'll have to worry about her just yet. Word of advice, the Shades are weak to light, heat, and anything that can harm Demons. Danmaku might work, but they aren't playing by the rules."

[Raikaria]

> "Yes, there's a lot of us, but there's also a lot of Bamboo Forest Mokou could come from!" Tewi says.

> "Well Eirin used her bow and it worked, but I think that's some Lunarian thing." Tewi says.

[Hanzo K.]

>Nod. "Well, if the arrowheads are silver, then that would do the job. Seeing as silver is one of the other weaknesses they have."
>"Well, I'll see about at least finding Reisen to get the info passed along. Odds are good that she'll be more likely to actually get the info where it needs to be, Eirin will probably want to get the details we've already dug up on the cause of all this, and they'll probably appreciate a 'Mokou Forecast' too. Sakuya, you can keep tabs on things here right? I shouldn't be too long."
>Let's head onwards to find Reisen!

[Raikaria]

>Nod. "Well, if the arrowheads are silver, then that would do the job. Seeing as silver is one of the other weaknesses they have."

Sakuya, you can keep tabs on things here right? I shouldn't be too long."
>Let's head onwards to find Reisen!

> "Well, since I lost a fight about taking you to Eientei, I gotta take you anyway." Tewi says, before she starts hopping towards Eientei.

> "I would rather avoid Eirin and Kaguya anyway." Sakuya says.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Alright Sakuya, see you when I get back."
>Getting to Eientei's as easy as following the bouncing bunny! So let's go!

[Raikaria]

>"Alright Sakuya, see you when I get back."
>Getting to Eientei's as easy as following the bouncing bunny! So let's go!

> You follow Tewi, and you see Reisen guarding the main enterence.

> "Tewi! I thought we told you no visitors!"

> "She beat me in a danmaku fight." Tewi says. "And I actually tried." she adds, showing her Last Word to Reisen, which is dimmed out now.

> Reisen sighs. "Well, I guess you can't be blamed then. On the other hand, why do you insist on coming now?" Reisen says, looking at you.

> Suddenly, someone crashes through the bamboo, tumbleing headfirst a few times.

> It's Iku.

> "Wait, you said you were leaving!" Tewi says.

> "I'm TRYING." Iku says. "This place isn't called the Bamboo Forest of the Lost for nothing. I got lost..."

[Hanzo K.]

>Sweatdrop. "A messenger getting lost...Well that's definitely a sight. At least she got here though."
>Let's look to Iku. "You wanna tell her the message? Or should I? Then again, I can probably supplement it with what I've dug up."

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Also, I was looking for you. See, the seal that's weakening is actually maintained by the HInanawi clan. We think there may be something Tenshi can do to fix it, but we can't get into heaven to talk to her about it. So could you either let a few of us up or tell Tenshi to come to the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"
>If she says something about already having tried having the Hinanawis fix it: "Well, maybe we can do smoething to help. I've got the raw power if that's important, and I know where to find more if needed. I can also get what may be the most intelligent person in Gensokyo-and also a very talented magician. And then I could ask Byakuren, too. And I can add divine energy ot the mix, thanks to Shinki. And Alice can, too. And- well, basically, we can bring a lot that might help."

[Raikaria]

>Sweatdrop. "A messenger getting lost...Well that's definitely a sight. At least she got here though."
>Let's look to Iku. "You wanna tell her the message? Or should I? Then again, I can probably supplement it with what I've dug up."

> "Wait..." Iku says, looking around.

> "Oh dear, it seems I managed to get where I initially wanted to be. Apologies, rabbit, although, if I managed to stumble here without finding any other rabbits to turn me back, your defenses are not very good."

> "Hmm, you came here to spread the message? I thought you went to the Scarlet Mansion, or do you have another motive?"

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Actually yes. I was also looking for you. See, the seal that's weakening is actually maintained by the HInanawi clan. We think there may be something Tenshi can do to fix it, but we can't get into heaven to talk to her about it.

> "I'm not allowed to bother the clans, at least, inside Tenkai." Iku says. "I am also not allowed to admit people to Tenkai. If I could, I would. However, that dosen't mean I can't help you. There's an Oni who once fought Tenshi, in a bet. If she won, she would get a place in Tenkai. She won. That Oni, therefor, can open the path to Heaven If you wish to see Tenshi yourself, convince the Oni to let you in." Iku explains.

[Hanzo K.]

>Oni are stubborn, and like challenging folks if they think it'll be a good fight, right? Looks like we might have to fight this Oni if it comes to it.
>Unless we already know; "Mind telling me who this Oni is then?"

[Raikaria]

>Oni are stubborn, and like challenging folks if they think it'll be a good fight, right? Looks like we might have to fight this Oni if it comes to it.
>Unless we already know; "Mind telling me who this Oni is then?"

> "Not sure which one, I never asked her name, but it was during the Scarlet Weather Incident. If I recall from the days when they ruled the mountains, it was one of the Deva."
