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.

"Then there do be being dead villagers. I will no be having to be stabbing anything."

She shrugged, "Unless you do be being scared of dead bodies."

She doubted it, but he might be more willing to enter the rockpool if he had something to prove.

[xue_yang]

"I definitely am not scared of something I know how to control." Dead bodies are his specialty.

"What if they blame us for killing them? Then wouldn't the mission be a waste?"

[knifewithnoname]

"You do no be needing to be controlling the dead, you can just be kicking them out of the way."

She wrinkled her nose, "Then they would be being stupid but it would no be mattering because we can be leaving them to be eaten by monsters."

If they were going to falsely accuse their rescuers it would be what they deserved.

[xue_yang]

"By controlling them I can get them to do the fighting for me. Creatures that can't feel pain are the best fighters."

Xue Yang shrugs as he looks at the water. Either way could prove interesting. If they blame him for murder then he'll just add that to the already long list of one's he has killed.

[knifewithnoname]

"You can be making bodies be fighting for you?"

She has never heard of anything like that before and yet she is instantly intrigued. Because he is right. Creatures that can't feel pain are the best fighters and the emptiness can on;y do so much.

[xue_yang]

"I can. It's far more effective then fighting myself, though I did enough of that as well." He fought both humans and undead when he had to.

[knifewithnoname]

She wrinkled her nose, sort of understanding. "How do you be doing it? Do it be being magic?"

She's trying to imagine dead bodies fighting. A bit like a puppet maybe?

[xue_yang]

"It's called cultivation. I can make them into my own puppets and use various means to direct them where to attack. I suppose to some it would be called magic."

It's a little hard to describe what he does. Obviously its more limited now that a certain artifact is out of his possession but he does still have some skills at his disposal.

[knifewithnoname]

Magic had many words in many worlds and worked in many different ways. She is not surprised to hear he had magic himself and part of her is ashamed of the way she had cajoled him into chopping carrots for her. Not all worlds revere those with magic like hers did but it would not do to fall out of good habits.

She would have to return to her own world eventually. So her voice held a lot more respect when she spoke again. "Then if we do be finding just bodies at the bottom I will be leaving it to you."

[xue_yang]

"I'll make sure to put them to good use. If nothing else at least they can walk themselves back up to the surface and we won't have to haul them out ourselves."

But that means getting in the water..which apparently he has just agreed to do.

[knifewithnoname]

"That will be being useful yes." She grinned at him over her shoulder.

"Now do you be being ready? Or they will have been dealing with all the monsters by the time we do be getting there."

Where? She has no idea, but there is no time to dally.

[xue_yang]

"Might as well get going." He places that ridiculous helmet thing on his head and gets all set to go. He has avoided wearing all the equipment until he absolutely had to.

"After you."

[knifewithnoname]

Helmet on, making sure the tubes are connected one last time she turned to grin and him and then trying to look much more confident than she felt she stepped into the rockpool.

The water was cold and came up to her shoulders. She stood there a bit awkwardly, waiting for something to happen.
