Under the Sea: Conclusion and aftermath
Ritual
The jellyfish is no more and as red team take stock of their injuries, or collapse from exhaustion the lights zip around them, singing their song of joy. They gather around the light that had been inside the jellyfish and now that it has been released it is obvious this light is different. Stronger. They surround it and the song gets even louder as they begin to move towards the plinth.
In the caverns where the purple and orange team are there is a stillness. For those in orange team still in the cavern they can only hope that the instructions they gave out had been followed. Luckily for them they have been, Purple team have done a remarkable job of defeating the crabs and cleaning the temple. The priests gather around the shell on the alter, arms linked together in prayer as they seek to re-sanctify their temple. As their prayer begins they will invite the voidtreckers to join them, though no one is forced into taking part in the ritual. They suggest that they use their strange wrist jewellery to open communication with their friends in Bui.
The monster on the beach is defeated and though the fight is still raging against the crabs, a beacon has been built and lit. The islanders who are not fighting gather around it, linking arms, drawing any voidtreckers who don't object to joining them into the circle.
The song begins hesitantly, almost as if everyone has forgotten the words and only half remembers the tune. The SCA translates, the prayer is simple, a blessing on the land and its people, deliverance from the darkness and hope for the future.
The light from the jellyfish reaches the plinth and is set upon it. The song heightens and the light shoots upwards, blinding in its brilliance.
Through the dark storm clouds a light streams towards the island, most of it towards the beacon on the island though there is a break away light that goes towards the train, where some of orange team have set up a second beacon. It swirls around those on the train roof, singing a song of happiness and bounces back towards the island.
The light reaches the main beacon and hits it with a strength that lights up the whole sky. The light splits more solidly into two and speeds off over the ocean. Light pours into the underground caverns, not caring about the ocean and rock in the way, the light pools into the shells, the caverns glow warmly.
Outside the storm calms, clouds roll back, the sun shines. The sea stills. The wind stops. The sun is rising, a beautiful dawn. Any monsters left scuttle away, vanishing into the ocean, away from Bui.
Those with any powers that they couldn't reach before find them returned in a rush. Those who can sense life find this world teeming with it. A song that dances between every plant and creature.
Some of red may have evacuated to the train but those who stayed to see the ritual through, the world around them seems to melt away and they find themselves back next to the rock pools. Among their number there are some confused looking islanders who intrinsically draw closer to those who helped free the lights.
Orange and Purple
Down underwater there's noise and a babble of voices as the citizens of Bui wake up. There's a shimmering around the city now, like a shield though they can pass through easily. Parents scramble to locate their children and all check on loved ones and friends.
The familiar voice of train announcements is heard through Orange team's SCAs. Orange return to the VoidTrecker Express. Once everyone is on board it flies low over the ocean, skimming the waves.
In the underwater temple the priests finish sealing the ritual and then it is time to begin the return trek. There are no monsters this time and after a few hours, as they emerge onto the first of the sandbanks they will find the VoidTrecker Express is waiting for them.
Red and Blue
The monsters gone, those of the island gather everyone from the rock pools and for a few hours everyone sleeps.
At about noon the islanders begin to stir, begin putting things to rights. Wood is moved from the strategic points to more communal campfires on the beach. Any dead monsters that haven't been gathered for food have been washed out to sea, disappeared into the depths. They begin to prepare food and won't turn away any helpers. Though those who have been fighting are encouraged to rest.
The islanders bring blankets and start to gather. Everyone is exhausted but the children, in the way of children find the energy to play in the sea and the sand.
Beach Day
Early afternoon the train lands on the beach and everyone gets a holographic message to their SCA.
Mission successful. Well done Voidtreckers. Enjoy the rest of your day. You will find suitable clothing in the dressing room. A new recipe has been added to the kitchen information points.
The dressing room is indeed open once more, this time it holds swimsuits of every style, shorts, t shirts, wraps and beach skirts. Sun hats and sunglasses can also be found. It's a bit of a mush mash but they should be able to cobble together something other than their uniform wet suits.
Time to laze around on the beach or for those who still have energy swim or play. A few hours later a ripple across the water brings some of those from Bui and they swim or lounge on rocks to talk.
Food and stories
Food is cooked and shared, the islanders will happily try the voidtreckers' offerings and share their own. As the sun begins to set they gather around the fires. Stories and songs are shared and there's even some dancing for the brave.
Voidtreckers can choose whether to sleep in their own beds or spend one last night on the island before the train flies off into the sunrise and into the void.

"Next time it'll be better." He promised, he knew for a fact it would. Because they'd be there together. They would fight together. Side-by-side like it was supposed to be. "I'm glad things went well for you. I know it was what you wanted."
no subject
Honestly, she's still unsure how she can ever thank him for that. He's done so much for her, how could she ever make up for that? The best thing she can think of is just to make sure to be nice to him like this. But then again, that comes all natural to begin with.. Maru is an incredibly important friend to her now, after all.
The girl pauses for a moment, but then continues. "And then, next time.." When she'll be able to fight as well. When she'll be able to use her bow, because if he says it'll be better next time, surely it will be. ".. I'll make sure that this and this," - she points at the cut on his temple and the bruises on his face, though making sure to not actually touch them - "won't happen again. Next time I'll protect you too."
no subject
"It will happen again." He said softly, needing her to understand that. "Thanks for worrying. But if it means protecting you, or the people you care for, it'll happen again. I can't die, Madoka... That thing could have torn me up and I would have lived." But he'd done what he'd wanted. He'd been the distraction the others needed to defeat it. "... If I can help, injuries like this are worth it. If I can stop you from being hurt, I'll take the hit. Just remember I'll live and heal."
no subject
".. I know." That he can't die. That he'll heal. He told her, and it's the only reason she can even have fun at all today. If his healing happened at a regular human's pace, Madoka would have felt much too guilty to leave his side even for a moment today to have fun by himself.
But even knowing they'll heal in a day or two...
"But.. It's just.. I feel bad seeing you like this." Madoka knows it's a selfish sentiment. It's why she looks guilty as she says it. "Even if you heal, it's not like you don't experience pain, right..? You're an important friend to me, so of course I don't like seeing you hurt.."
no subject
And yes, his nature was also a lazy one that would rather just sit back and watch the world burn rather than lift a hand to stop it, Madoka was his Eve and that made her different.
"I'm sorry..." He said softly. Maru didn't reply to the pain question, it didn't seem worth answering, the answer would have been obvious and he couldn't lie to her. "... I can try. I'll try and not get hurt."
no subject
"Thank you.." She reaches out again to very gently ruffle his hair. It's easier to reach when he's sitting like this, thankfully. "You don't have to say sorry though. I'm the one who's sorry.. I know I should get stronger and not mind seeing these things as much."
But she doesn't know if she ever can. Her heart always aches so much for everyone, even total strangers. How is she supposed to not care about the pain of the people close to her, let alone someone so close to her like Maru - so close that she can practically sense him?
Her gaze wanders off, desperate for a distraction, before landing upon the food.
".. Ah, can you eat by yourself like this? I can help you if it's too hard."
no subject
He didn't want to be sorry and he didn't want her to be sorry either. Things would be easier tomorrow, he thought, once the bruising went away.
Slowly his eyes opened again and moved to look at the food. He knew he should probably eat something. "I think... I can do it?"
no subject
Her hand rubs for another moment before she slowly pulls it back, glancing between Maru and the food. 'I think' doesn't sound too convincing, after all! She thoughtfully chews on her lower lip for a moment as the girl seems to think.
"I'll just stay here with you for a little bit. Just in case you need help! It's okay, I can just go and have some more fun out there later."
no subject
At least he was able to eat something. Just not as much as he would have normally. In fact very little. Maru gave a little shake of his head and sighed.
"I think I need sleep more than food..."
no subject
So she slowly nods.
"Okay.. You should try to sleep a bit then. I can watch over you.."
no subject
So when she nodded and agreed he should sleep, Maru felt himself relax a little bit. He would sleep.
He tilted to the side to lay down and let his head come to rest upon her leg, his eyes closed. Maru remained curled up, legs tucked in, one arm wrapped around his middle. "... I'll sleep." He said softly, voice quiet and already sounding half asleep. It was okay to sleep with Madoka watching over him.
no subject
Besides.. it's kind of comforting. Even though Maru is hurt, at least she's here with him now. There may not be more danger lurking out there - or so it seems, anyway - but it puts her at ease knowing that even if more danger would show up while Maru is fast asleep, she'll be there with him.
The girl slowly reaches out her hand to softly move her fingers through his hair a little while he's lying there.
"Sleep well. I'll be here."
