Crashing Down: Conclusion
Time ticks down, five hours turn to three hours, turns to one hour, turns to mere minutes. All the while the Voidtreckers rush to tether people to void craft. All efforts are now on reaching the furthest communities.
The effort is monumental, an evacuation that was improvised at every stage and yet was successful. The planet quietens as its citizens vanish off into the void, villages emptying, creatures gone too.
By the final half hour they can be pretty confident that on Osiga at least the only people left are those who have chosen, for whatever reason, to do so. Even now it might not be too late to save them, the right word in the right ear could change everything.
Minutes tick down, and the question becomes: Do the voidtreckers evacuate, or do they stick around to try and convince that last person? Do they save lives by force? Leave them to their chosen fate?
Whatever their choices, time is rapidly running out.
As their timers count down into the last two minutes, their SCA's begin to flash amber. Danger is approaching.
Some of the remaining citizens hunker down, awaiting what comes. Others gather, weapons in hand to face this foe they have been told to flee from.
Danger is indeed approaching. In their peripheral vision they will see a darkening of the sky as strange shapes begin to fill it; too weird to be clouds, nothing that can be accurately described. For those inside, even those with Anan in a space station, they will sense this shadowing. Almost as if shapes are crowding in on reality itself. An extremely unnerving experience. The shapes fill the sky, fill the system, and their SCA's flash red.
It is time to go.
It might be they try and fight, just to see if they can. It might be that they scramble to tether the last couple of people, people who have just rapidly changed their mind about staying here. The train lets them. Anyone who doesn't evacuate themselves will be allowed to stay until the last possible second, as their countdowns click down from 00:01. Then their world glows gold as the train yanks them back, landing in the luggage carriage with barely time to draw breath as the train lurches into the void violently.
For the first time, anyone looking out the window as the train enters the kaleidoscope of the void will see other void craft. Trains, ships, planes, weird orbs. Just for a few moments these craft fill the space, and then they move, the train as well, bringing colour back to the void once more.

Zelda looks a bit pensive, but grateful as she leans into the touch.
"I was on the Egret mission, did I ever mention that? It was the first time we saw these things in the flesh."
Well. So to speak.
no subject
He'll move his arm around her shoulders then, to be a comfort. And hey, he can invade space willy nilly, so plausible deniability for all involved.
"What happened then?"
no subject
"It looked like Hyrule, a little. The village life, the animals, the farms."
Something cracks in her voice.
"The mission was irregular- called just after the last one, not according to schedule. There were monsters, we were told. And there were, but it didn't sound like anything more threatening than your average moblin tribe."
Her face darkens. "I was looking around town, considering hunting down a blacksmith- I didn't have any weapons, I was still relatively new. But suddenly it felt like there was a cloud over the sun. I looked up. And then...."
She trails off with a shudder.
no subject
Saw it in his own princess' eyes, even as she tried to be strong. Part of him had wondered if she had broken, if he could have been cruel then. But this time....this time he definitely wouldn't be cruel.
"And then they came...and shortly after ya arrived too. That must have been terrible..." He said, voice gentle.
no subject
She's visibly trying to control her breathing now, lest she get too upset to work.
"I've always known, really, that we'd see them again. I think we all did. But I was hoping, by that time, we'd know something more. That there might be a hope of doing more than staunching a bleeding wound, when the one who wielded the sword still hasn't been disarmed."
no subject
She is now getting pulled into a full on proper hug because Link and Zelda always deserves comfort.
"That bleeding wound is people's lives. There are people alive that wouldn't have been if not for yer efforts. It's not a win, but it ain't a complete loss either."
no subject
"It's not, I know. I just... this will go on, if nothing changes. More homes lost. More refugees. More dead."
