Wind Priestess Quest - The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West.

>"We stopped the attack. Reimu and Marisa came to help... The two leaders are gone, but the constructs are still here...They don't know what to do...but some are still trying to get through. Reimu and I are exhausted and Marisa was paralyzed by magic. The only one fit enough to continue is probably Mima... There's a portal to that place I mentioned before, but I feel like I should return down there."

>"Very well... We'll wait for you, then. Nitori and Utsuho have been making great progress. They say that they might be able to finish ahead of schedule."

>"Who are you talking to?" Reimu asks, "And I thought you said that was a camera?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Geez, we finish off the major problem and you're already on my tail? Are you really that eager to know what this is?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Geez, we finish off the major problem and you're already on my tail? Are you really that eager to know what this is?"

>"I'm not eager to know what it is. I just want to know what it is..."

>"Sanae, who are you talking to?" Kanako asks on the other end of the line.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Well Reimu, maybe I don't want to tell you. Or maybe it actually is just a camera. Either way, shouldn't you be teaching Mima the spellcard rules already?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well Reimu, maybe I don't want to tell you. Or maybe it actually is just a camera. Either way, shouldn't you be teaching Mima the spellcard rules already?"

>"I'll teach her later." Reimu frowns.

>"Sanae?" Kanako questions.
>_

[Neovereign]

>To the Phone: _{^{"It's Reimu. She wants to know what the phone is."}}
>"It's a...It's a...Uh..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>To the Phone: _{^{"It's Reimu. She wants to know what the phone is."}}

>"Oh..." Kanako replies.

>"It's a...It's a...Uh..."

>Reimu is frowning at you.
>_

[Neovereign]

>^{_{"Do I tell her? She won't go away."}}
>"Yes, I'll tell you what it is. Yes, you; Reimu. Reimu Hakurei. Ha-kurei Rei-mu. Sitting at the Kotatsu...Oh yeah, sorry. You didn't like that before."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>^{_{"Do I tell her? She won't go away."}}

>"_{^{Not unless you absolutely have to.}}" Kanako answers.

>"Yes, I'll tell you what it is. Yes, you; Reimu. Reimu Hakurei. Ha-kurei Rei-mu. Sitting at the Kotatsu...Oh yeah, sorry. You didn't like that before."

>"Either you're stalling, or that spellcard did something to your head, so which is it?" Reimu questions.
>"Hey, you two, in case you haven't noticed, there's still aggressive orb things everywhere!" Mima exclaims as she continues to shoot down approaching constructs.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Hang up.
>"Mima's right, we still need to deal with these things."
>Start firing at the constructs still slamming into the ground.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Hang up.

>You do so.

>"Mima's right, we still need to deal with these things."
>Start firing at the constructs still slamming into the ground.

>You begin firing at the constructs that are still trying to break through the ground. You seem to catch them off guard, and many are swiftly destroyed by your danmaku.
>Reimu begins firing at the ones in the air, in the opposite direction Mima is firing.
>Marisa is just laying there like a slug.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I'm wondering why you haven't 'healed' Marisa yet, Mima."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I'm wondering why you haven't 'healed' Marisa yet, Mima."

>"Stun magic can't really be 'healed,' you have to wait it out..." Mima replies.
>"Hey... when any of you are done with your thing, can someone get me out of this snow?" Marisa calls out, "It's kinda cold ~Ze..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Sorry Marisa, but this might take a while."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Sorry Marisa, but this might take a while."

>"Just don't forget about me, okay?"

>You, Reimu, and Mima continue firing, destroying dozens of the constructs, however, there is still an overwhelming amount of them out there. Plus you feel really tired. You can't keep this firing up forever.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"We should retreat for now. There's too many to keep this up. Give me a hand with Marisa."
>  Carry (drag if necessary) Marisa to the door.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"We should retreat for now. There's too many to keep this up. Give me a hand with Marisa."

>"As much as I hate to say it, you're right." Reimu replies.

>  Carry (drag if necessary) Marisa to the door.

>Mima retrieves Marisa's broom as you and Reimu fly over to Marisa and sling one of her arms over your shoulders. The two of you carry Marisa into the door in the cliffside, while Mima follows you and provides covering fire.
>Once you are safely inside, you shut the door. Many kappa start eyeing you curiously.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Ok, now what? We can't just stay here forever, so where do we go next?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Ok, now what? We can't just stay here forever, so where do we go next?"

>"_{^{Couldn't we just ditch these two and go to you-know-where}}" Mima whispers.
>"What was that, Mima?" Reimu scowls.
>"None of your business, bitch!"
>"Don't push it Tempura-butt..."
>"WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP CALLING ME THAT!?!" Mima shouts.

>Some of the kappa are slowly backing away.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Quit it you two. Okay, um... Reimu, you should take Marisa back to your shrine, or someplace safer than this. Mima and I still have business around here. That way you could still return if those constructs haven't left yet."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Quit it you two. Okay, um... Reimu, you should take Marisa back to your shrine, or someplace safer than this. Mima and I still have business around here. That way you could still return if those constructs haven't left yet."

>"You expect me to drag her all the way to my shrine?" Reimu scowls, "Do you know how far my shrine is from here? I'm not dragging her weight all the way there... Hey, Marisa, doesn't Nitori live around here? You're still on good terms with her, right?"
>"Yeah." Marisa replies.
>"Well then, maybe we can find her and drop Marisa off there."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Nitori's not...uh...What if Nitori isn't there? Then we would've gone there for nothing. If it's come to this, then I suppose you can stay at my shrine until you're alright. It's closer than Reimu's, ^{not to mention safer...}"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Nitori's not...uh...What if Nitori isn't there? Then we would've gone there for nothing. If it's come to this, then I suppose you can stay at my shrine until you're alright. It's closer than Reimu's, ^{not to mention safer...}"

>"Are you saying that my shrine is unsafe?!" Reimu asks, "Oh... I see what you're doing... You're trying to convert Marisa, aren't you!"
>"She is?" Marisa asks.
>"I'm certain of it!"
>"Well if she is, she's terrible at it... She's even worse than you ~Ze..."
>"Do you want to run that by me again...?"
>"I-I'm not saying you're bad at gathering followers for your shrine or anything!! I'm just saying that..."
>"Saying what, Marisa?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Don't worry Reimu, I'm not trying to. Our shrine already has much more followers than yours. Though if it does come to it, I'm sure I could convince Marisa of our greatness fairly easily.
>"Anyways, I meant it's safer because Suwako is there."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Don't worry Reimu, I'm not trying to. Our shrine already has much more followers than yours. Though if it does come to it, I'm sure I could convince Marisa of our greatness fairly easily.

>Reimu glares at you.
>"Pfft. Fat chance!" Marisa responds, "I'm sorry, but I don't do the whole religion thing ~Ze. The truth is, I wouldn't want to permanently devote myself to any deity to be honest..."

>"Anyways, I meant it's safer because Suwako is there."

>"It's also twice as annoying, thanks to your army of freeloaders..." Reimu remarks.
>"What army of freeloaders?" Marisa asks.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I ended up bringing a bunch of fairies to my shrine, but they aren't really freeloaders. On the contrary, we've increased in faith drastically thanks to them. But, they're beginning to get a little too attached there, so I'll need to set some restrictions..."
>"Now, unless anyone has any better ideas, let's get a move on already. ^{It's discomforting getting all of these looks from the kappa here...}"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I ended up bringing a bunch of fairies to my shrine, but they aren't really freeloaders. On the contrary, we've increased in faith drastically thanks to them. But, they're beginning to get a little too attached there, so I'll need to set some restrictions..."

>"Really ~Ze?" Marisa replies, "Hey, Reimu, if Sanae can do it, maybe you can get some fairies to-"
>"Never..." Reimu scowls.

>"Now, unless anyone has any better ideas, let's get a move on already. ^{It's discomforting getting all of these looks from the kappa here...}"

>Reimu sighs, "...Alright then... Let's move."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Okay, we just have to hope those constructs don't bother us."
>Open the door, lift Marisa and head for our shrine.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay, we just have to hope those constructs don't bother us."

>"Don't worry," says Mima, "I'll provide cover fire if any of them try to attack us."

>Open the door, lift Marisa and head for our shrine.

>You and Reimu drag Marisa out the door and start heading for your shrine.

>A few nearby constructs start shooting at you, but are quickly dispatched by Mima.
>You should arrive at your shrine within five minutes.
