Maribel Hearn Quest: ACT III
« on: September 06, 2016, 04:48:35 AM »
MARIBEL HEARN QUEST
Act III

>You are Maribel Hearn.

>You are 19 years old, and are a student in a university in Kyoto, Japan. You are not like most humans, you possess the power to see and manipulate boundaries, and that power is growing quickly over the years. Over time you have learned to create tears in boundaries, and, just yesterday, you learned how to create gaps, which are like tears, except far more stable and easier to maintain.

>Four days ago, you and your best friend, Renko Usami, finally entered Gensokyo. During your stay, you learned to (somewhat) fly and shoot danmaku. There was also an incident involving Renko, a shrine maiden named Reimu Hakurei, and an archangel by the name of Sariel, that left Reimu severely injured, and Renko facing pending judgement. However, there were a couple of good things that came out of this as well... You managed to find Renko's long-lost sister: Sumireko Usami. And you and Renko confessed your love for each other. This happiness was short, as you were sent home by Yukari Yakumo, a youkai you befriended during your visit, due to something about your powers developing.

>Yesterday, you returned to Gensokyo against Yukari's wishes. You soon reunited with Renko, and witnessed Sumireko awaken from her coma. Unfortunately, Sumireko didn't seem entirely right in the head, and she escaped, injuring a rabbit by the name of Reisen in the process. You wanted to pursue her, but were stopped by Yukari, who sent you back to the outside world,  promising to resolve the issue. When you were outside the barrier, a youkai by the name of YuugenMagan approached you, having slipped undetected through Yukari's gap. Together, the two of you went through Makai and returned to Gensokyo, where you began to search for Sumireko on your own. Along the way you met up with Marisa Kirisame and Renko. And met a lonely youkai named Rengeteki, whom you promised to come back for. You met with Yukari again soon after, who revealed that she was your mother, and has only been acting in what she sees as your best interests. She then let you go, and your group, escorted by a cat youkai named Chen, and sans Marisa, soon found Sumireko. Whom YuugenMagan promptly possessed, revealing her true motives. She then revealed that Sumireko was fused with an angel, whose name you later learned was Matenshi, and then used her powers to destroy Sariel and her counterpart, Uriel. After getting Sumireko and Matenshi to resist YuugenMagan's influence, you destroyed her, freeing them from her control.

>You, Renko, Sumireko (And Matenshi, by extension.), and Chen were then called by Yukari to the Netherworld, where you met her friend Yuyuko and her servant, Youmu. After a large dinner, you discussed with Yukari about deciding to become a youkai. You decided that you will stay in Gensokyo long enough to find a way to separate Sumireko and Matenshi, and then leave to allow your powers to mature in the outside world. You then all went to Yukari's home, where you and Renko fell asleep for the night....



>You are now in a beautiful landscape. Fresh flowers bloom all around and a crystal-clear creek runs through the area as odd shapes fill the sky.

>You are dreaming. Not dreaming, as in going to another place, but actually dreaming, and it seems to be a lucid one at that. You can't seem to remember the last time you've ACTUALLY dreamed...

>What will you do?

>It certainly appears that way,,,

>Establish that, first things first, I'm the realest, in case we get confused with fake Maribels.
>You establish yourself as the REAL Maribel, but it's kinda pointless as you're the only Maribel here...

>Imagine a dream Renko.
>You conjure up a dream Renko, who immediately smiles at you.

>Try willing the fire in this dream to put out and stop it.
>You turn back to dream Renko to see the horrible sight of her flesh falling off in large chunks as she slowly begins to melt into the ground. Eventually her entire skull is exposed and it stares into your eyes with empty sockets before Dream Renko disintegrates into a pile of ash as the fire threatens to consume everything.

>You attempt to will the fire to stop as you back away from the sight, but nothing seems to be happening. You feel your back bump into something.

>You turn around to see what it was, and you are greeted by the sight of YuugenMagan's eyes.
>"How did it feel when you killed me, Maribel?"
>...

>You jerk awake in a cold sweat. You are in Ran's room, and sunlight is creeping in through the window.
>"Huh!?" Renko sits up right next to you with a concerned look, "What's wrong, Merry?"
