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!)

Helping Out:
After everything that happened this week, both Takato and Guilmon were terribly worn out. But they were also in complete agreement that they wanted to help.

A quick attempt at a trip into the city had convinced them that maybe a city that had recently suffered a demon attack wasn't quite ready to be helped by a dinosaur dragon.

So they find themselves back out at the camp trying to find ways to help there.

Train:
Once back at the train, the two of them head straight to the kitchen. They find a quiet corner of the dining car to settle down in,and Guilmon starts working his way through a pile of bread. Meanwhile Takato tries to avoid falling asleep while finishing his sandwich.

Allen's first port of call was usually the kitchen, mostly because he knows full well he cannot sleep on an empty stomach. He would feel bad for roommates if he did.

"Guess you had the same idea as me then?" Allen said with a slight laugh as he went to the counter to grab a few things using his right arm. His left arm stayed down at his side the whole time.

Takato yawns as he holds his sandwich.

"I thought it would be better to eat now, than have to wake up and come back later."

Although he probably would. Guilmon would make sure of it.

"Is your arm okay?"

He did notice that it wasn't being moved much.

"It's a good thought to have honestly." In Allen's case, his stomach can get too loud if he doesn't.

After picking up a couple more things he looks over.

"Uh, yeah. Just overused it so it will take a while before I can move it again."

"That's good. Do you need any help for now?"

Takato was... They were tired, but not hurt. Dukemon's armor was strong, and even if they felt the pain of their injuries, they hadn't followed them when they separated.

"I should be fine. This is not the first time where I've been unable to move it." At best maybe the third time, but one of those times was a case of not even having an arm. So did that count?

"But after you finished eating, please rest okay?"
dreamtamer: (do you remember)

[personal profile] dreamtamer 2021-04-10 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That was actually a little alarming. How many times had this happened?

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Takato nods. "We will!" He yawns. "I don't think we could do anything else."

[personal profile] mynameisallen 2021-04-18 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Positive, with some rest I will be fine anyway."

At least they knew when to rest unlike Allen some time ago. Now it was different and he was at least trying. "I guess that is true, but I find some will still try to do something regardless of how tired. I usually am one of those people, so I would know."
dreamtamer: (in thought)

[personal profile] dreamtamer 2021-04-18 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
A little bit of guilt creeps into Takato's smile.

"Well, I can't say we wouldn't do that if there was something we needed to do. But I think everyone's safe now that we;re back on the train."

[personal profile] mynameisallen 2021-04-22 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Everyone is at least safe so that's why I can relax a bit more." Which he was honestly happy with. Not having to worry about things like people getting hurt.

"Just some wanted to help out the world after everything."

[personal profile] dreamtamer 2021-04-24 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
"We wanted to help some more. But the people in the town were scared of Guilmon."

So they'd decided it would be better not to frighten them, when they'd already gone through so much.
mynameisallen: (Well ★ You see..)

[personal profile] mynameisallen 2021-05-02 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"That makes sense, they don't really understand much about us so if they react badly, it's understandable." And they didn't have much time to really be able to explain it either.

"But hey you can always help out in other ways"

'Just getting a cup!" as Jessie grabs said cup along with leftovers for her smoke break.

Takato blinks sleepily from where he'd started leaning up against Guilmon.

"Okay?"

[personal profile] unholyandbroken 2021-03-30 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just being careful." Jessie added as she grabs the cup. "Also getting leftovers."

"Need me to grab anything?"
