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.

When Tidus was gawking at the awkward size of it, and how anyone was meant to realistically do much in there. Look, he's a harsh judge about his sports spaces!
no subject
"That wasn't even that long ago either and you got thrown right into your first mission. I kind of was to thinking about it."
no subject
"But it wasn't too bad. I mean... thankfully I got a weapon, and anything else... I don't know how else I could've prepared even with more time." Hmmm. "Maybe we could have done with more potions, and medical supplies. For a train wanting us to go out there and help people, it doesn't give us much to work with."
no subject
"I get the feeling the train thinks people can just find what they need on world or something."
no subject
Tidus didn't believe it, giving a shake of his head over the idea. How could whoever was in charge think that?
"I mean, you guys were stuck underwater that entire time, weren't you? How were you supposed to find anything if you needed anything desperate? Treasure chests?"
no subject
"Where I was from we went on missions. We had no healers, no medical supplies. All we had was the weapons we needed which were always on us and ourselves. The reason is mostly because we can't use the medical supplies during fights and healers were most likely going to die the moment a fight would break out because they can't defend themselves and we might not always be able to." Plus with how few exorcists there actually were it would have just made the protecting thing that much harder.
"So it's not about always being able to magically find something because it's needed. Sometimes you do have to use your own head and what you have to figure out a problem."
no subject
"Yeah, but you going in with weapons is more than some people got to, you know? And if you're used or trained for that. How many of us are really fighters? That's what I'm worried about. There's kids on some of the teams, and not everyone has the stomach for fighting. We managed, but that's some high expectations going on."
To just being able to deal with it, when they were a hodgepodge of people with different backgrounds and capabilities.
no subject
So he's made it obvious that children were even involved where he was from. That was nothing new to him at all. If he had been found before Cross found him, he was sure he would have had been in the war much earlier than he had been.
"But the thing is, kids here can just go on Orange team here. That team seems to have a lower chance of anything actually fighting related. That or they have the choice to not go at all." he knew at least some people did tend to stay on the train if needs be.
"That's the thing, arriving here sure we have no choice, any world that is always the case, we don't have a choice. However, we do have some kind of choice in what we do when it comes to missions the kids included. Which is still better than back home."
no subject
"Then, I say it's up to the rest of us to help each other. Let people know more 'bout what they can do and don't have to, and see what we can get to prepare everyone. Not everyone knows they can switch teams... if we can make it better for people even in a small way, even if we've already got it better than some people, that's gotta be better than nothing, doesn't it?"
He taps a thumb against his chin as he thinks, but then looks at Allen, offering him a smile.
"We'll keep it from being as desperate as what everyone where you're from had to deal with."
no subject
He nodded slightly, he already knew it was vastly different than what he had been use to at home. Mostly because of the numbger of people who can deal with the situation was vastly higher than what was back home, which was possibly less than 10 if he could recall.
"I think no matter what this situation will never be as desperate as that."
