Under the Sea: Mission start

[voidtreckermods]

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.

That statement of all things makes Madoka grow quiet for a moment. She knows Ple Two is right, but at the same time she'd feel so bad leaving the other girl alone in such a state. Her gaze shifts to Maru for a moment, as if hoping he has the right solution for this, but then realises that no, she has to think of it herself. She has to be responsible now.

"We'll stay with you for a little bit." And you can't change her mind about that. Ple Two is much too important for her to not make sure the other girl is both absolutely fine and well enough protected before Madoka heads out there again. "We'll go back out again after. But first we have to make sure you're okay."

It's only then that she looks back at Maru, a bit more resolute this time.

"Maru, can you please help me help her up..?"

[sobothersome]

Maru nodded and moved. Not to help Ple Two up. But to scoop her up from the ground and held her in his arms as he stood up.

"Once you're both safe, I can come back out... Look after her." He said to Madoka. While Maru might have been lazy, while he would rather have just stayed in bed without having to do any of this. He was doing it now. And if that was the case it would be done right.

Ple Two needed some help, whether she wanted it or not. Madoka was worried. And with her distracted like that she couldn't be out fighting. They both needed time to rest. Maru started walking, knowing Madoka would follow. He'd take Ple Two beyond the barricade that was being set up and to where the others were. The two girls would be safe there.

[pleple]

Ple Two would love to argue, of course. They should fight. It was important to protect other people. But... now, she wasn't going to fight with Madoka over it. So she nodded at Madoka's reassurance.

She didn't appreciate Maru just picking her the heck up though, immediately pouting a bit. "H-hey, I can walk... you know..."

Dammit.

[happyends]

Madoka does of course immediately follow when Maru starts walking. She feels a little uneasy at the idea of him going back out there alone - not since he's incompetent, not at all, it just feels like she ought to be there with him - but on the other hand, she can't deny that she'd worry about Ple Two's condition for sure if she didn't stay behind.

So she stays quiet for a moment, frowning as if in thought. It's only interrupted when she hears the other girl speak up.

"Ah.. I-It's okay, he's just trying to help!"

[sobothersome]

There was a slight hesitation in his step. He knew that Ple Two could walk... but she hadn't looked too good. He'd thought he was helping. Madoka even realised. But was he actually helping?

Maru slowed down and then carefully lowered the young girl to her feet. He wouldn't do anything anyone didn't want. And if she wasn't happy... "... Sorry." He said quietly and then stepped back and away, giving her space.
