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.

"So we have something in common." He never really dived before himself, but he knew that it was a type of swimming, just under the water. So would it really be so hard?

"Okay...so how about we try and let you go under steadily. That might help you a bit with going diving since I am sure that's what we are meant to be doing here."

"Once, when I was body-swapped with Starfire." The only other occasion she could remember having this type of problem accessing her powers was after watching Wicked Scary, and denying her own fear. But she wasn't afraid on this mission...

Holding out a hand, she tried to call her dark-energy and was pleased to see it around her hand. Well, at least some of her powers were working. "It's...it feels like I'm being blocked. " There was a beat before she added. "I can still fight and do things, but this will make it harder and it means my healing is going to be the normal non-magical type."

"Not anything like fancy, but basics are easy enough to do." Nothing too much either, but he figured that just being able to cook might at least be useful. "I guess we can also help provide what they need while up here to, right?"

"Guess I'll find out, which means actually getting ready? Are you going to do the same?" He asked curiously. He assumes the other was going to dive, he seemed like someone who would.

"Like what, exactly? I mean I get they are asleep, but we don't know the how. By finding out how is the only way we know the best way possible to deal with it. I get wanting to find a quick fix all problem, but sometimes hard work is the best way."

[She nodded slightly. She was ready at least as she slowly moved to get into the water, giggling slightly at how cold it felt.]

Is the ocean always so cold when one first gets in?

[They didn't have much time for an answer before going under and Rapunzel was more than a little relieved that she had in fact managed to put the diving equipment on correctly.]

So... we need to help this place, right? Do you think we'll be able to?

"That's right. When I cut it, my hair loses its power." As she spoke she had moved some of her hair to reveal a strand of brown hair underneath.

"It turns out like this when cut."

"Just the one, singing, in general, doesn't really wield any kind of result." She was making sure to keep up with the other as best as she could all the while looking around. The glow of her hair had since faded due to the song not being sung.

Madoka nods with a smile.

"We will." It's the most faith she's had for a mission so far, honestly. Usually she spends this time kind of stuck in the middle between dreading everything coming up and wanting to do her best.. But she doesn't really feel the dread anymore with Maru here with her. Instead she can smile without a care.

The girl grabs his hand, tugging on it to get him to come along.

"Come on, let's go! I think we have to get off the train soon."

Alice slightly nods.

"Good luck with that then." Especially since that sounds like a reasonable enough plan to not get himself killed. Then again, you can never be sure on this train with how reckless some people are..

"Guess you will. Yes, we should finish getting ready," answers Curufin. "I'm going to dive, of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world." Snort of laugher. "The train should be announcing drop order and world number pretty soon."

He picks up his gear again and starts working with connecting the air hose to the square back pack oxygenator.

Tidus hums in acknowledgement, not disagreeing with the curiosity. He wondered what the Orange guys would find down there. It certainly sounded like a mystery--hopefully one with a not-so morbid reveal.

"Hey, your job too! I bet you'll work it out once you get there." Here's to some encouragement, as well as Tidus adding after a beat: "Let's make it back, and we can trade stories if we bump into each other again. I know I wanna know what's up with the city."

And every other mission description.

she pushed herself up from the sand. Part of her wanted to argue, that a Somebody shouldn't have risked herself for Xion. Part of her was appalled and terrified at the thought of arguing with a Somebody. And part of her didn't want Axel to hear her having that particular argument.

Still.

"Do you need a healing spell?" she asked, side stepping the argument, and the concern. If this person knew more about Xion, she was sure there wouldn't be concern at all.

/I don't know./

[Nita sounded almost forlorn as she says that - but she did perk up!]

/That's what we're here to find out! ... I think I see some of the people, down there. With the scales./

[She swam to bring them closer to some of those on the coral shelf; not even a full cluster of them, just some scattered citizens with shells nearby.]

/Can you see them?/

He laughed and nodded. "True on all counts. But it isn't like there is much else for either of us to enjoy today, so we should take our fun where we can. Besides, you remind me a little of some of my friends when we were all your age, and teasing them was half of what I lived for."

"Why would something block only some of your powers though?"

That's the odd part. Because, you know, normal people can't just summon energy like that. Madoka sure can't! So why does that work, but apparently some of Raven's other powers don't?

.. the more she thinks about it, the more Madoka realises there's no way she's going to figure it out herself. So she dismisses the thought with a quick shake of her head, instead focusing on Raven.

".. um, no, the better question here is.. will you be okay, even though it's harder?"

[ With a horrible wet noise, Bryn wrenches her spear out of the creature's body and dives in front of him, to better shield him should the creature decide to lash out again. But for now, it looks like they're in luck. Quivering and howling oddly, the creature retreats back towards the ocean, apparently thoroughly cowed by the onslaught, and Bryn watched it go with an odd look on her face.

But then she quickly turns her expression back into a smile and turns her attention to Dyme. ]


It looks as though we've fended it off! Even with the blow you took, I think we did quite well. Are you hurt?

He gave a soft sound that could have been a laugh or it could have been a huff of a sigh, it was hard to tell. But his hand was taken and Maru didn't protest because Madoka seemed happy and calm in the face of the upcoming mission. Her strength of will and her faith bolstered his own, he felt stronger for it.

Maru gave a little shake of his head and let her lead him. "I'm with you." He promised.

Glorfindel laughed. "Your wits are also quite sharp! I would rank you with Ecthelion and Erestor. Perhaps I should start calling you Ecurufin, so the rule of three remains unbroken?"

"I have." Ignis replied with a nod. But he couldn't tell Raven how happy he was that she had accepted to be a co lead on the mission. He owed her a great deal from helping Tony that day on the platform when she didn't know either of them to coming after him when the two had briefly split.

"Are you ready to go or do you need any assistance?"

Ignis hadn't expected praise because it was about as common as a unicorn. Sure they might be around once in a great while but usually the advisor just got more work heaped on him and not praise. But none of that was mentioned and he wondered at Inigo's stammered reply.

Had Bucky said something to this kid? If so, Ignis was going to find out so he tucked that task away for another day and time.

Green eyes took note of the red cheeks and listened as the boy went on about a boyfriend. Well wasn't that adorable. Gray hair..Yuki. Ah right he'd noticed the boy with Inigo earlier today, though he didn't know either of their names. Yuki seemed to be a quiet boy. "Well if you two are sticking together, that will give each of you the additional task of looking out for each other. And a system like that is always a good idea during missions."

It is the most important type of promise and Romeo wants Madoka to know he is being very serious about this. He will keep himself and Joss safe this time and meet up with Madoka again.

"It's a promise!"

"That sounds like a fine plan." Ignis smiled hugging his daughter against his side. In a way this was just like it always was. Madoka and Ignis hit it off on their first mission and here they were again on a beach. It was nice and relaxing, at least for a few minutes because they didn't have that really on their first mission.

"Yes, if the two of you keep an eye on each other and encourage others to at least tag along with one person on every mission, it will help our team leaders keep a better track of who we have with us on each one that we have."

He paused and thought a moment. "So what shall we have for dinner?"
