The Will to Fight: Conclusion

The battles rage loud and ferocious at the gates of the city and off in the ruined wastelands of Erda, and on the walls a struggle of a different kind occurs. The team who stayed behind at the towers are small but determined as they move stoically across the walls to right the stones that have become misaligned, even as their friends battle not too far away.

The city begins to hum. It's a quiet hum, not loud enough to be heard out where the others are fighting but it vibrates even through stone. The recovering monks assure them that it is done, the wards are back up and no demon will be able to enter the city.

Eventually the battle is won, all three battles. The demons fought back and killed, a major blow to their gate system that will keep them back for hopefully a long time. Those waiting in the caverns return to the city and by the time they get there the illusions are gone. Everyone can see the world for what it really is.

But despite the ruins of their world the people are relieved, the adrenaline of the fight coursing through their veins and the mood is one of hope. They will build again, their people will survive.

All Voidtreckers please return to the Voidtrecker Express. Departure will be in a few hours

It has landed not too far from the city, cloaked to make it unnoticeable to the citizens, for all the good that does. No one has been particularly subtle this last week. People can begin regrouping, packing up the camp and getting any wounded not already healed to the train.

However roughly half an hour later another message appears on their SCA.

Passenger Persephone has requested we remain on system System #86525656412355 for an additional day to further assist the people of Erda. The Voidtrecker Express will depart on the morning of Day Fifteen of the month of Kazoo.

The train remains where it is, so the voidtreckers can use its facilities. There is definitely a lot that can be done to assist those of this world and the citizens will welcome any helping hands.

After an extra day they finally depart, returning to the void once more.

(OOC Note: Once the wards are up any characters who are demonic in nature will not be able to enter the city either!)

"And when are you planning to rest again?" Trunks didn't have the energy to be sarcastic. He was asking genuinely.

Ea-nasir is a forgive and forget type, unless holding it over somebody's head gives her a better advantage. It's all about the big picture, what helps the most. Grudges rarely do.

"You gotta find out what the other party wants, first off. Sounds like you didn't do the research. At the very least, make some grand promises. Favor for a favor, quid quo pro. Not very many people are moved just by politeness with nothing to back it up."

"I mean, all of our missions have been a 'lot' in their own ways...but this one was..." Trunks tried to think of how to explain. "It reminds me of the second mission I was on, just after I'd joined the train. We were on a planet that was very humid and full of greenery. Like a jungle, if that's a term you're familiar with. We were ambushed at one point, and almost over run. It wasn't very good for morale, at the very least."

This mission had a better outcome, but it reminded him of that mission.

Ever seen a spaceship plummeting to the ground doomed to crash? That's what it's like listening to Prompto. One day those feelings are gonna take this poor guy out, he can just see it comin' and would be shocked if there was any other result than some sort of firey emotional explosion.

He doesn't say that shit, though. He remembers screaming in Peter's face too often how bad sentiment was, how it'd get you killed. But really, what other shit do you have here? He was being a hypocrite even then, drowning in it in silent pain.

"He here, by the way?"

"Ah, you got caught in one too." Trunks said, with understanding. "We'd have gotten you out, but I'm glad they were there. We had a few people get mind-controlled on our side."

Trunks was glad he'd checked in with Nozomi. And still glad that he'd been close enough to be her target.

He's suffering alright.

But maybe Inigo won't be the only one, since his whining continuing like this also means that Tidus will have to endure said whining. Teasing Inigo - it truly is a two-edged blade.

"Hey! Those questions are important, you know!" If not just to Inigo and Inigo alone.

He moves up until he's at Tidus's side, putting his hands on the guy's shoulder, shaking him a little.

"I mean, what if it is still in there! What if it could kill me?!" You only have yourself to thank for setting this off, Tidus.

"Yeah well..." Demyx hummed and raised a few balls of water easily, by just flicking his wrist, as they floated in the air.

"I like to play a little." He grinned. "It's not that relaxing."

He was in a pair of purple trunks today and soaking. "Besides, I'm about tapped out on magic...exhausted."

"Luckily I was just in the tower. That would have been terrible on the battlefield. ...I should know, I've seen similar situations happen."

Not completely the same, but people being manipulated into attacking their own. Luckily people on the opposite side in the worst case.

"Uh huh! He's on the red team." Prompto said enthusiastically. "If you see him he's got kinda messy hair, black, like he just rolled out of bed. Probably because he did." He giggled. "He naps a lot."

He just giggled while talking about that guy's bed head.

"I'm pretty much damned to blue team. Only see red team around the train. Well... I guess this is the first mission I been on but I get the impression blue team just kinda secures a pretty passive area while red team goes shithouse crazy somewheres else."

Yondu drags another of the beams over, but this time positions it on a rock so he can lever up a piece of wall that he can't quite push.

"You can go, as soon as I verify you're alright and cleared to go." Raven held firm, as she came closer. "We haven't had a chance to meet yet, but I'm Raven. One of the healers. Kept you and Noctis from getting squished, while you were unconscious." A pause. "I promise, the check won't take long."
azrthmtrnznthos: (What seriously?)

[personal profile] azrthmtrnznthos 2021-03-29 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Raven actually jumped a bit; sign of how tired she was. Also a sign considering her powers didn't react. "Ple Two!" Exclaimed, but not unhappy. Just startled.

"Sorry, I'm...really tired. How are you?"

[Asked for or not, the boost Zelda gives her is very welcomed and relaxes her, not having even noticed how long she's been up at this point tending to others. There's no need for asking forgiveness at all.

She turns her head to where she felt that come from and gives her roommate a thankful smile.]


Ah-- Zelda, thank you. How are you faring after all of this?

"I'm more worried about you, at the moment." Raven said softly, with sympathy. "You were almost faceplanting into your sandwich."

That aligns with the information we have found, yes. It seems that demons here are not known for illusion magic.

[They'd spent their time here going through libraries while climbing the towers, hoping to find something of value along the way. Perhaps it is time to go directly to the source.]

Would you two care to accompany me to the west tower? I believe it is time to speak to the monks themselves.
runicfeathers: (Did... Did I just say that aloud?)

[personal profile] runicfeathers 2021-03-29 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[The shoulder to lean on is well-timed as she stumbles just enough to lose balance, giving Trunks a nervous laugh.]

Thank you, I'm alright. Others are still coming back from fighting and may be injured.

[Not to mention exhausted from any of the boss fights, like her.]

"Yeah that sounds about right. I mean, I'm purple, obviously." Prompto said, tugging at his shirt, before moving to help him move that.

"But Noctis is red so I'll follow him. You'll see him around! We definitely did nothing but demon killing, just like home."

Prompto laughed a bit. "Uh, yeah I wrecked two shirts out there too." He was gonna burn through his clothes fast, he felt. It wasn't nearly as durable as his fatigues.

He was in the process of removing the chassis as they talked.

"Well this is a Drillbreaker. Niff tech." He explained, gesturing to the front of it, the drill bit. "When you activate it, it slams this part in and out kinda like a jackhammer. Great damage up close. Takes a bit of magic though."

Well, it was in the name wasn't it, magitek.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you check me over." Prompto gave in with a bit of a sigh.

"Oh uh, yeah, hi." He smiled. "Prompto."

"I had the impression we were the last chance they had to win." She'd tried to do what she could. Usually she was far more pacifistic, but... This was almost personal.

[ Guess who's letting out a groan. This guy over here on the ground. At least it seems to be more of an annoyed groan than a pained one. ]

What else am I supposed to do when you drop a board on me?!

[ Granted, this wasn't entirely Tidus's fault as much as it's just part of the inevitable circus that surrounds these two at all times. ]

I don't think I can get up anymore.

[ A bold lie. But here Inigo is, just.. rolling over so he's laying there on his back instead, staring up at Tidus. ]

I think you'll have to finish up this one by yourself.

At least she's seen worse by far. "Ha. Well, I guess that's a kind of comfort too." He's helping, sure.

Ple Two peers through it. "I might need one of the smaller screwdrivers. There's a lot of little things to help with to get a few of these buildings safe."

"...you really are, huh?" If she freaked out over that. "A little worried, more than anything. Not that we won't all be fine like usual."
miseris_socios: (huh?)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2021-03-29 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm... fine. Just tired. And sore." He's totally not dealing with panic, nope. Not here.

Ken frowned and dug into his bag, holding out an Elixer. "Here. Take this."
