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.

Then he slowly moves to turn towards Yuki, grabbing his other hand to hold as well while looking at him. "That's so sweet of you to say.. But it'll be alright." Besides, he's not too sure how to feel about Yuki being in his world. He knows the other can handle himself during missions, but still.. it's not like Yuki has been fighting for his dear life ever since he was little the way Inigo has. He doesn't want to expose the other to the cruelties of his world. There's more than one reason why he said he'd come to Yuki's world to live there together, rather than the other way around.
"It's not as if I'll be alone. And I promise to be careful. After all, I have a loving boyfriend waiting for me. I couldn't ask you to wait for me if I didn't know for sure that I was going to turn back up. And so I already made the promise that I will return to you."
no subject
"I know.." Yuki took his eyes down from Inigo's after he said he wouldn't be alone. "You said..you had friends to help you." There was a slightly troubled smile as the other went on about having a loving boyfriend. Words stirred in his heart, things he couldn't say.
So he just smiled to hide the fact that if there was a way to go with Inigo he'd find it and go along anyhow.
no subject
And they have been fighting as much as he has. It's why he doesn't worry as much about them, although there's no way he could just not worry at all considering how dire the circumstances are.
"Our little group.. We travelled back through time to the past to try and prevent that awful future. To before we were even born. But you're smarter than me, so you probably already understand the problem with that. We're preventing that future from becoming reality, so we won't be able to return to it. But at the same time, our parents will have us as babies in that past. We don't have our own future to return to, and we're just superfluous in the past. We're caught inbetween, with no place to belong."
Although Inigo keeps smiling as he says it, there's something obviously sad in his eyes that he can't quite hide.
".. That's why you make me so happy, Yuki. You make me feel like I belong somewhere. You're the first person who's ever made me feel that way."
no subject
So hesitantly a hand reached up and touched the other's face, at a loss as to what to do or how he could help. And then those words were said.
Gray eyes went wide and his mouth hung open for several long moments as several thoughts ran through his mind like quicksilver. His mouth even tried to push them out but in the end they didn't go anywhere. Why hadn't anyone done this for him before? Why not? What the hell was wrong with those people? How come no one had treasured this kind soul before to show him how he should be loved or treated or..?
And in that moment Yuki realized that it didn't even matter because he would be the one to do these things. So he hid his now watering eyes and hugged Inigo really hard.
no subject
So for a moment he just lets Yuki hug him like that. And slowly he raises his own arms to hold the other as well, although slightly less tight. Inigo sucks in a deep breath and breathes it back out, trying to make sure his own emotions are well enough in check before he speaks.
"Why did you look so surprised about that? You know how much you mean to me, right?"
Of course what's entirely going over Inigo's head here is the fact that that's not really all that Yuki was surprised about. After all, Inigo doesn't expect anyone to treat him well, so it's no surprise to him that he's never had what he now has with Yuki with anyone before.
no subject
But then the second question got to him too.
Both of his hands grabbed desperately tight fistfuls of his boyfriend's shirt and he still tried to push down his emotions down and not ask the questions he needed to.
no subject
Inigo pulls back - just a little though. After all, it's not like Yuki's tight hold on him allows much otherwise. And even if it did, he still wouldn't want to move too far away from the other right now. He keeps holding onto Yuki all the same, only pulling back far enough to try and catch a glimpse of the other's face. There's a hint of worry in Inigo's eyes, if Yuki manages to actually look at them.
"Is everything alright? Why aren't you saying anything?" It's okay if he's just being quiet like usually. But in a situation like this, Inigo can't help but worry that there might be something else up instead.
no subject
Anger at other people he hadn't met wasn't right, but he still couldn't help but think that all of the warrior's friends at home were simply idiots for not noticing the loving boy in front of their eyes. So all he could do to mollify himself was to think they had to have been blind.
That had to be it.
no subject
So he smiles. Not as wide as he sometimes can, but in a way that's obviously very genuine and fond.
"Okay."
He loosens his hold on the other, but just so he can instead put his hands on Yuki's cheeks and raise his head to look at him.
"Let's have fun together then. You want to go step out into the ocean a bit? I promise to not be a baby about it if the water gets up to my knees."
no subject
"You should learn how to swim..but we can do that later." That was one other thing he wanted to make sure that he did. If Inigo's friends came they'd find that he'd learned how to swim. He'd see about teaching the warrior some martial arts too if he was willing, that way he'd have extra moves if he lost his sword or it dropped or something.
Couldn't be too careful.
no subject
"Sure, but let's see how I feel about stepping in the water first before I try swimming. Or learning how to."
He knows it'll probably be fine, but Inigo knows how his brain works and how it randomly makes him freak out about things. He just wants to make sure to take baby steps with this so he doesn't look like a total idiot in front of his boyfriend while Yuki is trying to help him learn how to swim.
no subject
"Okay, let me know what you decide." He could understand being hesitant because he was like that when he checked on Haru after Rin had broken up with him. He'd had to go willingly to the main house and that had been quite the trial in and of itself. So it took him awhile, but in the end he'd made it.
