middleofsomewhere | 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.

"I guess you can stab it in the eyes of people, but that's about it." Which is an admittedly quite violent way of using one to say the least. But she shook the knife for a brief moment, twirling it around her fingers.

"But this should do well, thank you."

He laughed and then decided he did need o show off after all. The bladed stick vanished and was replaced with the un-bladed one so smoothly it looked almost as though only the blade had gone away. He looked around for a target then grinned as he rushed towards a crab. He angled the long stick under the crab and used it to fling the beast into the air, putting a bit of Craft into it to add some force. It went flying up. He swiftly shifted his grip and stance and smacked it away, back into the ocean. "Or I could stab it in the eyes, I suppose," he said with a smug smile, moving to lean on the stick like a staff.

"You do know you are showing off to a teenager with little to know weapon knowledge right?" All said with a smile because at least then she can say she doesn't really know anything better, which was also true.

"But also I assume the reason it's so easy for you is because of abilities you might have, however, if I ever do that, the result would be a lot less effective."

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."

"I am not sure I would consider having to deal with monsters as fun." It was more of a chore than anything else. After all, she was acting like she was a normal teenage girl after all and fighting would not necessarily be something a girl like her would have liked.

"It isn't, not by itself. That's why we have to work hard to make it fun for each other, kiddo. I mean, this is grisly miserable work, and if you stop too long to think about it, you could be paralyzed. BUT, you have someone like me in the mix who is an utter goofball..."

He raised a hand and the monster sneaking up behind him raised into the air, spun around several times, then was flung back out to sea, "you can't help but laugh. Right?" He asked with a grin, his blue eyes twinkling.

Minako had turned to block one that was incoming and for a moment was more focused on that as she tried her hardest to push him away. So far she was doing okay as she soon moved to kick it away.

Once that was done she turned her head only to realise he had said something. "I'm sorry...I think I only heard a small portion of what you just said. You were explaining about making fights fun, right?"

He chuckled. "It can wait till after. If you wand to fight with your foot touching mine, I can extend my shield to cover us both."

The need to PROTECT might be screaming through him at the moment.

"I think I'll be okay, if I really need to I will take you up on that offer okay?" She moved to jump over one that was incoming, landing behind them so the other, if they needed or wanted to, could attack.

"Alright," he said, switching back to his bladed stick to drive another blow home at a monster. "Just remember, I'm not a healer."

"That's fine. if I get hurt I will just find a safe area." Which she figured would be easy enough if that was to happen, but Minako knew she was going to try her hardest to not let that happen.

She managed to deal with another crab before taking a few steps back. "Question. How many crabs do you think are close to us right now?"

He took a quick spin. "Looks like a little under a half dozen," he said, then cleaved one in half and flung it away with his magic. "Maybe a little more than a little under."

"Okay....I'll help deal with them, then I plan on going to see who else might need help, okay?" She figured it was a good idea at least as she managed to somehow cut another down.

"However you wish to do it, my Lady. I am sure they will appreciate the aid as much as I do, if not more."

She honestly wasn't sure how much help she would be exactly all things considering. But she knew she was at least going to try her hardest.

So she now focused on what was close to her, dealing with them the best way as possible until she figured the numbers were going down.

"okay, I will be head off. I am sure we will meet again."

"Please stay safe so that we can," he said, executing a small bow.
