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.

Tony groaned in annoyance when he was woken up by the message. He'd been indulging this morning with sleeping in later than he normally did. Ignis was already out and about, but the bed was warm and Tony didn't have any particular reason to rush today.

Anytime a message from the SCA popped up people began their usual chatter on the ICP. Tony sighed knowing his easy morning had just been canceled. Reading over the message, he frowned and glanced up to see if Buttercup was still there. Fortunately, she was!

"Hey kid," Tony greeted with a groggy tone. "Do you know how to swim?" He was pretty sure he remembered it coming up that she couldn't, but it was early and he couldn't quite remember.

"Hello mister Stark." She didn't look away from the hologram but she did wave in his direction with her free arm.

At his question though she wrinkled her nose and rolled onto her side so she was looking over at him.

"No. But I do no be thinking it will be being that hard."

"It can take some getting used to. It looks like the Blue team is staying on land or with the Purple team you'll have Peter watching out for you," he suggested as he read over the different tasks again.

"Of course, it all sounds vague right now. We never know for sure what we're facing till we're there."

"You do no be wanting me to be going with you?"

She tries to not sound disappointed. Even though she is sure swimming is probably not difficult, she was sure to be able to pick it up.

"Can Peter even be swimming?"

Tony frowned, hearing her tone. "Of course, I want you to go with me. I always want you with me. You're my number one girl!"

He gave her a smile, hoping she'd understand what he was saying here. "But if you need to stay with Peter so he can teach you how to swim- and yes he knows- I wouldn't hold that against you in any way. You've already proven yourself a number of times to me. I already know you're strong."

She smiled at that. Of course she was his number one. She was useful and a good fighter. He'd be stupid not to want her on his side.

She wrinkled her nose though, because learning to swim was useful but she doesn't really want to stay, even with Peter.

"Does Peter no be wanting to be doing the mission?"

runs_on_batteries: (looking cool)

He shrugged. "He does, but he sees value in teaching people. If you want to go with our team, I'll watch out for you. If you want to stay with Peter, you can learn and help others learn to swim."

He gave her a curious look. "I just thought you enjoyed hanging out with him."

"I do." She nodded with a nose wrinkle. "He's my friend." And that was important. Very important.

"But I can be doing the mission. I will no be slowing you down."
