Under the Sea: Mission start

After fleeing the strange shapes in the sky the voidtreckers are perhaps not looking forward to yet another mission and indeed the first few days of Fiddlesticks go by without any strange dreams, no warning that another mission might be nigh. Yet on the morning of day five their SCA's will glow with the colours of the void and a holographic message will appear.

Preperations

The dressing room is open once again, though the clothes this time are simple in choice. A wet suit for each void trecker as well as a pair of flippers, a helmet and a breathing pack. It at least has instructions and there will be a little bit of time for them to figure out how to use them. Apart from that there are some waterproof packs for supplies to be packed in.

They will have a couple of hours to get ready for their mission.

Arrival: Blue and Red

"We are now approaching world #7625000129523. Drop order is Red and Blue, Purple then Orange. Red and Blue team to doors. Arrival in world #7625000129523 in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."

The train shudders and lurches as they exit the void, the view from the window goes from the ever shifting void to a beautiful deep blue sky. They fly through the air and swoop down to land on a sandy beach. The doors open allowing those who are taking part in the Blue and Red missions to debark. The doors close and the train swoops up into the air.

The beach stretches from one side to the other, in the distance as the beach turns into sloping green hills they can see a village. Beyond that there is a jungle. Any red team who check their SCA will see four points, the rock pools.

The villagers have noticed the huge train sweeping down onto their island and so contact is made quickly. They will be quite accepting of the help and explain the situation. They will help any of red team to the rockpools if asked.

Red

The rockpools are built up and indeed made so the water will reach a persons waist if they stand in them. The water is cold but not overly so. When the water shoots up anyone in them will shoot up also.

They will find themselves in a vortex of water, with anyone else who enters that rockpool. The water itself seems to be fighting them, tendrils of water reaching out of the whirlpool to try and drag them further into the chaos. It takes a whole lot of willpower to stay in the centre, the water can be fought with weapons, even with fists. They feel as if they are falling or flying, perhaps both. Surrounded by the pure chaos of the ocean.

Blue

Hopefully they spend the day helping with preparations because when night falls the monsters emerge from the sea. Terrifying twisted creatures. The villagers only have simple weapons but will tell them that fire is helpful against these water creatures.

Hold off the monsters and keep the people safe.

Purple

The doors close and the train flies off into the sky, flying over the island to the other side where it lands on a rocky bay, near tall towering cliffs.

"Purple team to doors." The doors open, allowing the purple team to disembark before flying off once again.

In the cliff face there is a large cave entrance, over the entrance there are symbols, translated by their SCA's. Clear mind, clear heart. Come those who seek to serve.

There are six people stood by the entrance, looking quite surprised at the new arrivals. One, a woman with silver hair recovers enough to speak first. "Ah. Void warriors. We are honoured by your help."

Once introductions are made the spiritual leaders will happily accept the escort and their adventure can begin.

Orange

They fly up and out across the ocean, a longer flight than before but eventually they descend and there is a slight juddering before they land, floating on the ocean.

"Orange team disembark, please use luggage or dressing carriage doors only."

They will step out onto an inflated platform that streches around the train. Down below are the depths of the water and their SCA's show them at the point of Bui. It is below them so all they need to is dive.

The dive takes a while, and depends on their swimming ability but hopefully with a bit of teamwork they arrive at the silent city of Bui.

"Never seen people going deep diving before?"

This wasn't the way he imagined meeting this guy again, but here they were, wet suits and bubble helmets all around. Tidus hadn't changed yet, didn't even have a wet suit in hand. But there was still plenty of time, the changing rooms packed.

"If where you're from has stuff like that," Tidus tacks on. Right--not even the Al Bhed really wore wetsuits like this, either.

"You do be meaning you did no ever be wondering what it would be being like to be being eaten by water?"

She grinned at him from where she stood, red wetsuit on, a bundle of helmet, breathing apparatus and flippers in her arms. Her head tilted, she understood not wanting to risk your life for idiots, that was just stupid.

But missions were usually not stupid, so she doubts this one will be and she fought to be here, so she will be going.

"You bring hope and joy to everyone around you, Romeo. You will be good on Escort. Do the two of you have knives or at least a pointed stick?" He gestures over his shoulder to where he has several short spears made out of sharpened bamboo sticking out of his backpack. "I have every faith that the two of you will kick monster ass before it even realizes you are a threat."

Glorfindel nodded. To his elf ears, he heard her just fine. "Perfect. Apparently the helmets have short range radios, so if anyone gets stuck with something they cannot handle on their own, I'm sure you'll hear about it pretty quick."

He laughed a little. "Or watch for a flash of light. That would be me." He was pretty new too, but was comfortable on missions like these, having done them for centuries.

Despite nightfall getting closer and closer - the time all these people are saying the monsters come out - Inigo doesn't look worried or scared in the slightest. He's fought monsters before, so honestly, how much worse could this be? Not to mention he hasn't suffered any of the strange effects others have, considering his lack of magic and all.

So rather than worrying about himself, he's instead fussing about Taiki, though he's careful to tuck away all those feelings behind a smile as he approaches the other.

"Taiki. Is something up? You've been looking off all day now."

"I think they are less pools and more... what was that area outside of Formenos? You remember, love, the one with the geothermal activity that you argued with Aule about?"

Also can she just say she doesn't like this world. Because she doesn't. Being a devotee of Aule means she should have been able to feel that and she hadn't heard even a whisper of Song.

It was during one of the battles one night that a boy with two keyblades skids backwards across the surf having been knocked back, both blades blocking the blow. He isn't harmed, but he's unknowingly tossed into Khary's path.

Roxas caught his footing and shifted with a bit of a grunt, and he kind of thought it was harder to breathe?

He wasn't usually this tired. "Sorry." He called to Khary, shuffling out of his way, shifting his weight and taking off back towards the beast. "Hey, I'm over here!"

He was a lot less energetic than he had been at the beginning, honestly, but he stopped in to see if Taiki needed help with the people he was protecting.

"Need any help?"

She kept away from everyone when she hopped off the train. Stupid Tony and stupid Peter. Just because she couldn't swim was no reason to keep her from doing the mission completely. No matter how much Peter tried to word it as a mission of learning to swim. It was stupid. She could do this. How difficult could swimming be? Plenty of stupid people could swim. She's met sailors.

Carrying her equipment, helmet, breathing box and flippers she headed out towards where her SCA pinpointed as the nearest rockpool, Lightning at least got a determined nod as she went past. She's not mad at Lightning.

Now that Roxas has had the experience of fighting with a group, he's become a lot more attuned to teammates who may need his help, and it's important to help teammates.

When he saw Ple Two struggling and an appendage coming her way, he used his speed ability to close the distance and block it with both keyblades crossed together, sliding backwards a bit from the force of the blow.

His leg wavered and he dropped to one knee, a sign that maybe that little trick took a lot more out of him than it normally would. "Hey, over here!" He called at the monster. One step and he was back on his feet at least.

"Hey," she calls, as Buttercup passes her with an expression of... she's not sure if that's more determination or stubbornness. Or spite.

She decides to assume it's all three, just to be safe. "Let's go over your equipment before you jump in. We don't know if the other side is underwater."

Even if he hadn't heard her, he would have known she was near. He didn't react though. At least until he was hugged from behind. It was something he was starting to get used to. Before Madoka he hadn't been hugged much, if ever. Maybe as a cat, sure. But in his 'normal' form, he couldn't really remember many hugs in his life...

When she let go to move into his line of sight, he was even able to give her a small, though tired looking, smile.

"No..." He agreed and looked away to where the orange wet suit was still hung up. "It's orange."

"Hello." He nodded at her, noting her purple clothing. It was a little reassuring to know he wasn't the only one on a team that he had not been assigned to.

"I'm alright, how are you? Do you need anything?"

He's trying to be as helpful as possible, to make up for his usefulness once night fell.

"Not really..." He wasn't staying on the train. He couldn't even if he'd wanted to. Madoka was going out into the strange world so he would have to also go.

"... This is so bothersome." Maru sighed and narrowed his eyes at the wet suit, but then he blinked and he just looked tired with the whole thing again. "Do I have to wear it?"

"Inigo!" All things considered he is glad that Inigo is with him, he feels a lot better being able to keep track of his friend and know he is alright, with everything else there is to worry about here.

"I'm alright, are you? Are you ready for tonight?"

He's worried. He doesn't want anyone fighting. Monsters or no.

He's surprised when the mission call comes, the way it appears on his SCA and how earlier it arrives than what he'd been expecting. Had he an expected time? Not really, and it's probably better now than later, and hey--trouble doesn't wait for anyone to occur. And if the report was true, then this was a world that needed help.

Beyond the shades of some of the wetsuits, the sight of them don't particularly bother Tidus. They're familiar to him, if not intimately. He's got one of the bubble helmets in hand (they're funny, ok) checking out the different colours of the wetsuits as a whole than just Purple's, when he spots the pink of hair, turns and sees who it is. Tidus throws her a friendly nod.

"Good luck, huh?"

And let's put up a determined fist.

Edge of the train
This... was a lot of water. So much more than she had ever seen in her life. Kneeling down she dipped her hand in, unsure as to what might happen. Would someone bite for whatever reason? Would nothing happen and it would just feel cold. yes. It was just wet and cold.

Lifting her hand up she soon moved to stand up straight, slowly taking a deep breath before taking a few steps back. It was hard to tell what she was going to do, at least until she started to run and jumped into the water.

Sure she didn't actually know how to swim and that thought never crossed her mind until she was in the water and head fully under. But as soon as she started to kick her legs it slowly dawned on her that it seemed simple enough as she got back to the surface.

"This is amazing~!"

Under the sea - Orange Mission
Rapunzel had managed to find another use for her hair during the mission. Letting her hair down for once and swimming down as far as she could go she started to sing her little song, causing her hair to glow all 70ft of it.

At least that was one way of lighting the way down, or as far down as one could go at least,

There was the sound of a chain and then a flash of blue. A wet, squishing sound of blades slicing through something fleshy, and the tentacle was left in pieces on the sandy beach.

And a few feet in front of Ple Two, crouched with his back to her was a young man with glowing red eyes and long, wicked looking glowing black and blue 'claws'. There was a chain hooked to his neck and flowing back behind him, seemingly floating but moved and sounded like there was weight to them.

He waited for the monster to make another move.

A cushion of air would catch Roxas gently as he skidded, so he didn't accidentally fall. Khary sidestepped out of his way. "No problem. Here if you need back up," he said, before slicing into one of his own targets with a long bladed stick before...

Did he just... explode the thing's head? Yes. Yes he did.

He grinned a bit. "Still not quite getting the hang of that spell...."

"Of course. Assuming that by 'doing our best' you mean you won't do anything incredibly reckless to bring yourself into trouble."

Alice seems strangely calm for now. But there's a strange undertone to her words that almost make it sound like a threat...

"Don't think I'll be taking my eyes off you during this for even a moment." She means well, really! It's just her being protective of his dumb hero self, but Alice has trouble expressing that in any way that doesn't just end up sounding like this.

He shook his head, "I'm alright, I just hope we have prepared enough!" It was hard to know exactly what was needed, before night fell and once it did fall it would be too late.

Rapunzel had been using her hair as a light for those who needed a way down, while having to learn how to swim at the same time. It was fun and interesting, but she had managed to catch on quickly.

So when she had reached the bottom she couldn't help but explore. A lot of sleeping people. They must be having nice dreams she wondered, but as she swam around she found herself spotted another.

"Maybe it's best to not nap here ourselves. We have here for a reason after all."
