The Will to Fight: Ongoing: Red and Purple

[voidtreckermods]

Dawn Attack

It's been a busy few days of fighting demons, attacking keystones and fighting both on the demon and human planes. On the morning of day nine of the month of Kazoo a gate opens close to the base camp that the two teams have made.

It seems the demons have decided to focus on this unexpected threat, because it is a sizable force, with a number of the large demons. They march towards the camp with single-minded focus, the opportunity to stop these unwanted defenders taking precedence over their desire to destroy the city.

The advantage to the landscape being as ruined as it is, is that there isn't much to stop the lookouts from seeing this force headed towards them. A gate opening is not subtle. There should be enough time to make sure the defenders are ready.

Scouting Ahead

Once that skirmish is won those on the Red team will find their SCA's beeping, with an exclamation point far out to the east.

A group of demons is congregating at the location indicated. Investigate why, defeat the demons and close any gates nearby.

It will take a while to get there and there is plenty to do on the way for those that follow the exclamation point. Roaming packs of demons, gates to be closed. Exhausting work, especially for those going in and out of the demon gates.

Protecting the City

Once it is clear that these defenders are not going to be easy to wipe out, the attacks on the city itself get more frequent. The demons have changed tactics: rather than sending in large groups they open many small portals, sending small strike teams to harry and target individuals.

Some of the attacks are clearly meant as traps: they open the gates in or very close to the city, to lure the Voidtreckers in to where they will be affected by the spell. Ranged attacks may be useful here.

Trunks just raises an eyebrow. "Uh huh..." He says with some suspicion. "Where are you injured."

[melodiouspacifist]

"I'm not bleeding or anything." Demyx answered instead of answering the actual question, like he wasn't worn out, magic drained and battered all over the place.

[light_of_willpower]

"Uh huh." Trunks says, still with that suspicious I don't believe you sing-song tone. "How are you injured?" Now he's crossing his arms as well as raising an eyebrow.

[melodiouspacifist]

"I dunno, I got hit by lots of stuff." He finally moved, involuntarily groaning. Look how fine he was.

"...I meant to do that."

[light_of_willpower]

"Alright. Any objection to potions?" Trunks asked, already uncrossing his arms so he could hold his hand over his ARMS band.

[melodiouspacifist]

"Uh, no, I'm used to that, but..." Demyx trailed off a moment, looking at Trunks from under his hood. "Why?"

[light_of_willpower]

Pulling the potion of cure light wounds out of his ARMS Band, Trunks crouched down so he could pass it to the other person. "Because you're injured, and could use it." Entirely matter of fact.

[melodiouspacifist]

He wasn't going to deny that, but he was no less confused. He accepted the potion and consumed it without trouble. He was used to them. Whatever few black whisps were leaking were gone.

"Thanks." He smiled at Trunks.

[light_of_willpower]

"You're welcome." Trunks said, with an answering smile. "Have you eaten yet? Do you need more healing?"

[melodiouspacifist]

"Uh, no I wasn't really planning on eating." Demyx said, he didn't do that a whole lot. He did sit up, finally.

"I feel alright."

[light_of_willpower]

"Do you normally not eat, or is that unusual?" Trunks has learned enough to know some people just...don't.

[melodiouspacifist]

"Uhhh, not really? I can, if I want something. I had some cookies on the train. I don't think I really need to." It wasn't like they sat down to family supper in the Keyblade Graveyard every night.

[light_of_willpower]

"Alright, then I won't bother you to eat or take a drink." Trunks said. "You alright otherwise, or do you need more healing?"

[melodiouspacifist]

He shook his head. "No, I don't think so. I'll probably be fine." Demyx offered a tired smile.
