Wind Priestess Quest - Part 2: What has Tobe done.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Carry me pls?"

>"HA! In your dreams!"

>"I'll try to. I don't want to know what happens if I get stuck in either of those places."

>"But then again you might not end up in either of those places... You might just end up lost, floating in there until you either die of exhaustion or they get you... But anyway, just stay close to me and you'll be fine."
>Mima points her staff at the edge of Reimaden and fires a large bolt from it. Immediately, a hole seems to tear itself open in the barrier.
>"Let's go." Mima smiles.
>_

[WodofGar]

>Get close.
>But not too close.
>so tsun

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Get close.

>You get close to Mima as the two of you fly through the hole.

>But not too close.
>so tsun

>"E-Eh? Human!?"

>The two of you enter an alien landscape. You are now flying though a purple, void-like space. Two, endless walls of what appear to be reddish rock are in the distance on both your left and right, creating a seemingly endless corridor with no ceiling or floor...
>This looks eerily similar to the place you saw in your dream...

>"Welcome to Genmukai." says Mima.
>_

[WodofGar]

>"I feel like I've been here before..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I feel like I've been here before..."

>"You do...? How so?"
>Mima increases in speed, you do so as well.
>_

[WodofGar]

>"In a dream, or a nightmare I guess. Really cryptic and terrifying, spinning yin-yang orbs came from the walls and some abstract voice was saying stuff about me and my goddesses."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"In a dream, or a nightmare I guess. Really cryptic and terrifying, spinning yin-yang orbs came from the walls and some abstract voice was saying stuff about me and my goddesses."

>"Oh, then you probably did come here then. The boundary between this world in the Dream World is the most chaotic and unstable thing you'll ever see, believe me, I've seen it... Perhaps that's why people tend to confuse this world with the Dream World... Anyway, those yin-yang things you mentioned are the reason we want to pass through here as quickly as possible... The entities that live here really don't like foreigners..."
>_

[WodofGar]

>"They've also been showing up in Gensokyo, is that normal?"
>Fly a little faster.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"They've also been showing up in Gensokyo, is that normal?"

>"They shouldn't be... They can't maintain their forms properly outside this realm... They'll just crumble apart... Are you sure we're talking about the same yin-yang things? Spherical black and white, or sometimes pure red, things that look like a mesh of blood vessels?"

>Fly a little faster.

>The two of you increase in pace.
>_

[WodofGar]

>"Oh, no. They look similar, but not nearly as, uh, veiny."

[Neovereign]

"How much longer?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh, no. They look similar, but not nearly as, uh, veiny."

>"Yeah, then what you're seeing in Gensokyo is probably not even related to those things..."

"How much longer?"

>"We're about halfway there... Oh look, there's the response team, right on schedule..."
>A bunch of read vein orbs begin sprouting out of the walls in the distance. They're pretty far from you now, but they are starting to slowly move closer.
>"Just ignore them and keep moving. It's pointless trying to fight them off anyway. The red ones are unkillable... At least they're slow..."
>_

[WodofGar]

>"Unkillable? Really? That's kind of broken..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Unkillable? Really? That's kind of broken..."

>"Hey, don't ask me. I'm not the one who made them... Maybe you should ask the... thing... that rules over this realm about it, but if I recall, it isn't much for conversation... No. It would rather destroy whatever it perceives as being either infectious to its 'perfect' world, or bringing imbalance to one or more of the worlds it's attached to... Man, speaking of it, you should've seen how pissed it was at me when I made Reimaden! It just screamed at me about how it 'disrupted the balance of the realms' or something like that, and then proceeded to hound me every time I tried to pass through here... At least it finally shut up after Hakurei wounded it..."
>_

[WodofGar]

>"You made Reimaden?!"
>"So I don't have to worry about what it said about my goddesses and I being a disruption to' the balance'?"
>"How did Reimu trap you here anyway?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"You made Reimaden?!"

>"Well, yeah... I used my staff to create it. It was meant to be a temporary pocket dimension from which I would have launched my assault on humanity from..."

>"So I don't have to worry about what it said about my goddesses and I being a disruption to' the balance'?"

>"Well, I wouldn't know. Usually if it sees something as an imbalance, it gets really pissed... And I mean really, really pissed... Though I don't think it can do much outside of this realm... It might find a way, though... It is quite resourceful... And intelligent..."

>"How did Reimu trap you here anyway?"

>"Well, long story short, it was one of my plots to take my revenge on humanity, and things were starting to go badly, so I opened a portal to Reimaden so I could catch my breath and think of a new plan... And then Marisa betrayed me, which gave Reimu just enough time to break my staff, the only way in and out of Reimaden, and kick me through my portal..." Mima chuckles, "...Ironic, is it not? That the one place I created ends up being my prison..."
>_

[WodofGar]

>The lack of an emergency exit is apalling...
>"That really sucks..."
>"I sure hope whatever lives here never gets out, but I feel like that's just asking for trouble. If worse comes to worst, Reimu will probably be able to handle it."

[Neovereign]

>"Reimu must've really done a number on it to shut it up huh. It was impossible for me to get a second of silence when it started talking."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>The lack of an emergency exit is apalling...

>This is why, should anyone ever go down the path of villainy, one should always make an escape tunnel for their evil lair.

>"That really sucks..."

>"Gee? You think?"

>"I sure hope whatever lives here never gets out, but I feel like that's just asking for trouble. If worse comes to worst, Reimu will probably be able to handle it."

>"Yeah, probably, I mean, she managed to wound it before... Though, I swear when she confronted me just moments afterwards, she was trembling. It was quite odd of her, she never acts like that after facing an enemy..."

>"Reimu must've really done a number on it to shut it up huh. It was impossible for me to get a second of silence when it started talking."

>"Yeah, it must've been some good injury she gave it, too... I didn't see it for at least a year afterwards..."

>In the distance you see a large, whitish, glowing sphere. The two of you seem to be approaching it.
>_

[WodofGar]

>"I sure hope that white sphere up there is something we want to be seeing."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I sure hope that white sphere up there is something we want to be seeing."

>"Of course it's what we want to be seeing!" Mima exclaims, "That's Gensokyo!"
>_

[WodofGar]

>"Well how am I supposed to know that a big glowy sphere is Gensokyo?"
>"Let's just leave this creepy place."
>Fly faster before the plot kicks in.
>"Fly faster before the plot kicks in!"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well how am I supposed to know that a big glowy sphere is Gensokyo?"

>"Okay, you have a point there..."

>"Let's just leave this creepy place."
>Fly faster before the plot kicks in.

>"Yes, lets!"
>The two of you fly faster.

>"Fly faster before the plot kicks in!"

>"But isn't this already part of the plot?"

>As the two of you near the edge of the massive sphere, Mima fires a projectile at if from her staff.
>Upon impact, a vortex-like hole opens up on the sphere in front of where you and Mima are flying.
>"You know, now is probably a bad time to mention this," says Mima as the two of you are almost at the vortex, "But I'm actually quite rusty, I haven't used this method in a long time, so... there's a chance... not that you couldn't tell... that we may or may not end up in a rock or wall...Trust me, It's best to not think about it."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"There's no guarantee we'll be fine!?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"There's no guarantee we'll be fine!?"

>"I said don't think about it!" you hear Mima yell as the two of you enter the vortex.
>You are enveloped in a white light.

>You suddenly find yourself... In the reactor observation room!?! You are standing by the consoles, Mima is there with you. You notice a bunch of Kappa, Nitori among them, staring at you. Kanako is here too.
>"Sanae?" Kanako asks, before rushing over to you, "You have no idea how relieved I am to know that you're alive... Koishi came in twenty minutes ago, crying, and saying that accidentally she got you killed, before she ran off... Utsuho left to console her..." she pauses, "Please don't make me worry again. You were already struck by lightning today... Do you know what it feels like to know that my wind priestess was nearly killed twice in one day!?!  And what would I have told Suwako!?! And...."
>"Whew, weren't we lucky. If I was off by an inch, we would've ended up in that thing..." says Mima, looking out towards the reactor, "That thing in there looks dangerous, not to mention extremely hot... I like it!"
>"...Sanae, who is this...?'" Kanako asks irritatedly.
>_

[WodofGar]

>"Uh, this is someone who really, really doesn't like Reimu."
>I'll let her introduce herself.

[Neovereign]

>"And this is also the only reason I actually made it back here..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Uh, this is someone who really, really doesn't like Reimu."
>I'll let her introduce herself.

>"I'm Mima, nice to meet you." says Mima, "I hear you guys are enemies of Hakurei as well?"
>"Well we are rival shrines, yes but I think-"
>"Eh, close enough. Well, any enemy of Reimu is a friend of mine... Unless they, too are my enemy... but that's not the point."

>"And this is also the only reason I actually made it back here..."

>"Really?" Kanako asks.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"My leg's all better now too. I guess I should tell Koishi I'm alright..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"My leg's all better now too. I guess I should tell Koishi I'm alright..."

>"Well that's good to hear... And yes, you should go tell her that you're alright. And while you're at it, tell Utsuho to get back here."
