Let's Play Super Touhou Wars 2

[prof]

<< | ^^ | >>




No new characters! One less character! Golly.



It's Marisa's mysterious dream friend again!



Sadly, mystery voice has no clues as to how to escape from her captivity. However, it does have a clue about the incident!

The spring is being gathered beyond the gate to the land of death - in other words, the netherworld.



But before she can find out anything else about her mysterious benefactor, she's awake again! Just her and her fuzzball companion, who somehow followed her here.

Still no plan for escape. Hopefully the others can think of something...



The team, meanwhile, is loitering around at the cave entrance. They were sadly unable to keep Marisa from getting whisked away.

Alice is trying to think of a plan. Tensions are high.



Sakuya, with the help of the Three Fairies for stealth, has been scoping out the cave a bit. Youkai are pretty sparse in there - it might not be impossible to save Marisa right now.



Sakuya will have our back, and I have my choice of Alice, Nitori or Patchouli to spearhead the forward team. I'll go with Alice.



Alice has known Marisa the longest, so she gets to lead the rescue effort. Let's go!



Meanwhile, underground!

Around when Marisa is considering eating Shiro as emergency rations, Koishi shows upout of nowhere.



As it turns out, this girl and the satori who kidnapped Marisa are sisters. Unlike Satori, though, Koishi has no idea what Marisa is thinking. It seems that she closed her Third Eye long ago.

Surprisingly easily, Marisa manages to convince Koishi to help her escape...

Stage 29 (Marisa): Closed Runaway

...Thanks for the reconnaissance, Shanghai. It must have been scary.

Shanghai...

Looks like the coast is clear, everyone. Let's keep moving.



We've managed to slip by pretty far.

Now for the hard part. Everyone, stay quiet...



All right, we're out! Can you lead the way?

Sure. Come this way.

Alice, over there...

...Marisa!

Oh, Alice! So you came to rescue me.

Thank goodness you're alright. I wasn't sure what had become of you...

Sorry for making you worry, but I was sure you'd come.

Will isn't this fortunate.

Huh? Marisa, that other girl...

It's a little late for introductions, but it's thanks to her that I got out.
She's Koishi, an underground youkai but not an enemy.

Huuuh. Nice to meet you, Koishi.

So you're surface youkai? Nice to meet you!

I guess not all underground youkai are bad.

Something seems odd, like we're missing something...

Anyway, we have to show our appreciation for her saving Marisa.
If those underground people from before show up...



Tch, they caught up while we were talking!

Then we're done talking. Time to get out of here as fast as we can.
Listen, the escape points are here...



If you can reach any of these points, you can escape to the outside.
We have seven turns to get out of here, so hurry.

Roger. Koishi, are you coming too?

Hmm... I'll follow you a little longer.

Then let's go. Make sure you don't lose focus.



Victory Conditions
Marisa escapes within 7th turn.

Defeat Conditions
8th turn begins.
Marisa defeated.

Bonus Conditions
Everyone other than Marisa also escapes.



Our enemies are six hell ravens, two ghosts, and five spooky spirit thingies. Time to charge!



Marisa's Accelerate spirit command is very useful here, since it gives her +3 move speed and she has quite a bit of ground to cover.



There are enemies in the way, but Marisa is not alone! The others will help clear a path.



The Three Fairies, meanwhile, are gonna stay IC and just book it.





I'm actually grateful for the enemy putting up a fight - the counters help me finish them off faster.



You did a good job of escaping, considering there's just the two of you.
Didn't you say that it was this thanks to this girl?

Yeah, as long as Koishi uses her ability, nobody would notice us.
I guess they sort of ignored us? It was a weird feeling, like I wasn't there at all.

Huh, so that's how she was suddenly appearing and disappearing before.

That sounds like a kinda creepy feeling...



On turn 2, Marisa reunites with the team. Time for the great escape!



Sunny, Star and Luna: Extracted!



Continue blowing open a path for Marisa to run through!



Koishi continues to wander around!



Meiling: Extracted!



Komachi and Koakuma: Extracted!



Alice and Sakuya: Extracted!



And finally, Marisa extracted!



All right, this should be far enough away to be safe.

Looks like it. I'll just be on my way...

Marisa, stop waiting around and get out of here.

Aw, can't I just give my regards to Koishi?
I'll be right back, so hold on.

...Be quick about it, then.

Oh, did you need something?



Yeah, I wanted to thank you for that help.
So thanks, Koishi. I was able to get out of this mess thanks to you.

It was fun for me, too. I got to see a human danmaku battle from up close.

If that's what you like, I'll show you more anytime.
You're welcome to come play with all of us next time.

Welcome... with all of you?

You saved me today, so you made a good first impression. That should be easy to understand.

...I don't understand, and I don't want to.
I'm happy to go on not thinking.

Koishi...?

You're not getting away.



It's the underground youkai from before...!

Shoot! Talk about bad timing...

Hey, sis. How are Orin and Okuu?

Doesn't matter. Hey, Satori...?

...Why are you doing this, Koishi? The invader is going to escape...

Because it's bad to use humans as pets.

But the girl we had locked up has some important evidence...

...You two, go with Koishi. I'll take on the human.

Roger!



Oh, what are you two doing?

Sorry, Koishi. That's one dangerous human.

You'd better not let her get away again, master!
Even if it means you have to take an arm or a leg.

I suppose that would be less troublesome in the long run.

Please, stop! We're already on our way out of here...!

Oh, shut up.



You shouldn't capture Marisa, sis.

Upholding our agreement with the surface is what protects the peace in the underworld.
For the sake of the palace of the earth spirits, I can't ignore this state of affairs.

Oh, so you've got some kind of plan.

Damn it...
Am I gonna lose here? If I want to become a great magician, I can't...

...
I see. You're continuing your pursuit of magic for the sake of meeting that person again.
But now you see that this meeting is never going to happen...
How do you feel about that? It's fine not to say your answer, of course.

Shut the hell up!

Then let's put to sleep the determination burning in your chest.
Now, remember it. The magic you yearn for...!









Damn it, is this as far as I...!

Is this all you retained of my magic?



Huh?! What are you doing here?!



If the disciple can't handle it, the master has to do the heavy lifting!



If you've forgotten, I'll show you again...



This is my magic!!







You're...!

No way. What are you doing here?




Mima
Rank: VI
Species: Ghost
Magic: S
Style: A
Canon: C

I was here on some minor errand, and then I happened upon this scene.
Would you have preferred I sit back and watch you get defeated?

Oh, no, that's not what I...
But, all this time... where did you go?!
Mima!!

Mima? Who's that?

...That's the magician I saw in that human's heart.
It's not an illusion I made. Why did the original show up now...?

Oh dear, it seems I've made an enemy of a Satori.
And with those two behind her, this is shaping up to be pretty troublesome.

Hmph, suddenly showing up and talking big.
I'll have to take you all on. Don't move a muscle!



Hey Mima, we're surrounded!

Run along, and leave these to me.
Alice, you know the way, yes?

Yes, but I'm not going to just...

Yeah, we're both fighting with you!

No, you're not. You aren't ready to face that satori.
Besides, don't you have something more important to be doing?

Something...

Return to the surface and end the long winter.
If you have a goal, then stick to it.

...!
...Got it. But I'll meet you again, right? Don't just disappear!

Yes. We'll meet again, Marisa!

Satori, they're getting away!

Impertinent humans. Who gave them permission to...

Sorry, but you'll be playing with me now.

Lucky break for you, Marisa.

Let's leave this to Mima and get out of here, like she said.
Mima, next time you see cherry blossoms falling on the surface, that'll be my work!



Pretty cool, throwing out a line like that.

Shall we get started, then?

You have a strong heart...
Orin, Okuu. Don't underestimate her.

Aye aye. Everyone, charge!

Stage Clear

Turns taken: 6
Spirit Commands used: 7
Bombs used: 0
Battle Mastery achieved



Back on the surface! Everyone waits for Marisa and Alice's triumphant return.



And return they do! Marisa apologizes for making everyone worry, and fills them in on who she just met.



Mima is fighting Satori now, but we must not go to help her! We've got an incident to resolve.



And thanks to a mysterious prophetic dream, Marisa knows where to go next: We're going to the Netherworld!

To be continued
