Saving (Private) Lune (Mission Thread)

Sentinel watched the attack strike Lewis, and then watched Lune tumble off and into the lake. Dammit, he had hoped that the man would have had a better grip on him. He heard Rinna shout followed by a splash....she didn't just jump in, did she? He turned to look, and felt a gust of wind slam into him. It moved him back a bit, and he looked up glaring at Lewis before looking back at the lake. Dammit, it all he didn't have time for this. Then Lewis began to say how it was his destiny to escape this hell that he was in. The man made the comment of how they might back him up if she was the one. What the heck was he talking about? No time, he felt a healing aura, and glared toward Lewis. "A plan that requires you to sacrifice a little girl? Just because you're in your own hell doesn't mean you have to harm others to get out of it!" The android was clearly angered, and while Sharaku's laughter was disturbing there was little time to focus on it. He would summon his Persona, and let it deal with Lewis. Then he turned toward the lake preparing to help Naomi with the girls.

"I'll be right back! I'm going to go recover the girls. Do your best to hold him back, I will be back as soon as I can." The android said before jumping into the water. Fortunately, there would be not eletrical discharge as he was fairly water-proof and any sensitive electric equipment was protected by his synthetic skin. The android would be able to see in the water quite a bit easier. His creator gave him a little night vision to detect movement in the darkness to decrease the chances of him detecting unwanted visitors that could pose a danger to Maria. Furthermore, his strength allowed him to be a rather strong swimmer, so he would be able to push through the current with ease. If Naomi managed to grab one of the girls, Sentinel would grab the other one, but if Naomi could not grab either one then he would grab them both and ascend to the surface as fast as he could.

On the surface, his Persona carried out his orders and rush toward Lewis stabbing the murderous madman with a bronze spear twice. It was evident that the Persona wanted to skewer the man and then pin him to the ground. Almost as if the Persona shared the same hatred that the android seemed to hold for the man. An unexplained hatred that stemmed from a part of his past that he had not shared with the others. After delivering the attack it would disappear and rejoin Sentinel, the android didn't know if he might need it's power to find off some kind of beings in this lake.

Naomi’s sight wasn’t the best underwater, since humans were not in the same class as fish. She could make out enough to see shadows though. It was strange though. It was as if the world underwater was getting brighter. That’s when she realized that the strange lights had come underwater. They appeared to be drifting downward. She wasn’t sure if she should trust the lights, since it was such a weird phenomenon, but they were gathering around Lune and Rinna. She could now see both of them better than before. It was as if they were guiding her down into the depths. From there, she could see that Lune was losing what air was left in her lungs and Rinna was bleeding even faster. She wondered if she could grab both of them. Probably not. She could only grab one and would have to come back for the other. That wasn’t fair. If she had to go back up to the surface, then swim back down, one of them would drown before she could make it back. That thought ran through her mind as something seemed to brush past her. Instinctively, she jerked her head to see what it was. It was probably just a fish. Right? As she moved her head, she did not catch sight of the thing that had touched her, but she saw Alphonse just behind her. Thank goodness she wasn’t alone. She motioned toward Lune, telling him to grab the girl. She probably needed more help and Rinna. Someone who was completely unconscious would need all the help they could get, and Alphonse probably didn’t have the same restrictions that Naomi did.

She kicked her feet even faster to get down to Rinna. As soon as she was within reach of the girl, she wrapped her arm around the girl’s waist and threw Rinna’s good arm across her shoulder. Making sure she had a grip on the woman, Naomi began swimming back up to the surface. She used her free hand to help propel herself forward, but her legs were doing most of the work. Somehow, water made moving both more and less of a chore. At least she could get Rinna back to dry land while Alphonse helped Lune. As long as nothing went wrong, she would be at the surface in no time.

Naomi stats:

Sentinel was surprised to see how dark it was in this place, but then again shadows lived here...they weren't swimming through one giant shadow were they? The android certainly hoped not, but surely it would have reacted to their presence. That was when he noted the lights that were drifting around the two girls that Naomi and the android were trying to save. Rinna seemed to be struggling to get to Lune, while Lune was pleading for a rescue. He couldn't get them both, but Naomi was closer to Rinna hopefully she would save Rinna while he got Lune. That should be simple enough. That is until he felt something brush past him....something else was in the water. A fish...hopefully, but given the supernatural place that this world was he highly doubted it was that simple. He saw Naomi gesture down to Lune, and he nodded and began to kick his legs and use his superior strength to reach Lune much faster. He made sure to cross in front of Rinna's line of sight to show that someone was going to save Lune, the young girl was in very capable hands. The healing aura he felt around him was also useful! Thankfully they seemed to be doing okay, but they just had to hold on a bit longer! Everything would be okay as soon as he reached the surface.

He would reach Lune quickly and wrap his arms around her tightly, but not tight enough to cause her to feel choked. That was the last thing he needed, he looked back up to the surface. Lune wouldn't last that much longer, he needed to get out of here ASAP. An idea struck him, he held one fist toward the surface, and summoned his Persona. As far as he could figure Persona's were an extension of their consciousness. Could he use his Persona to help him ascend? Worth a shot at the very least, no time to really think about it was time to act. He summoned Odysseus to his side, and he made himself as aero-dynamic as possible to decrease his surface area and therefore the amount of liquid he had to worry about slowing him down. His right fist was pointed toward the surface, his legs, and back were straight. He felt Odysseus grip him like a javelin, and he felt the technique's power surge around his extended fist. The warrior threw him with all his might toward the surface, the android suddenly knew what it was like to be a torpedo. Not to mention his natural affinity for physical skills certainly helped too! He was about at the half-way point when he felt the energy begin to die, but suddenly he felt another burst of energy that was focused around his legs. Anything that touched his extended fist or legs would receive a painful poke or two! It would feel as they had ran their appendage into a spear! The android was hurtling toward the surface again, and if he wasn't stopped he would burst to the surface and bring Lune up above water with him so she could breath sweet sweet oxygen.

Strenghts:

Naomi would resurface with a gasp. She hadn’t realized how much she actually needed to breath. She would never abuse oxygen again. Well, not until the next time she didn’t have a choice, anyway. She would look at Rinna to make sure that she was still carrying someone who was conscious. She seemed to be holding up better than Naomi thought she would. As she looked at her, the lights scattered from the two girls. Were those lights sentient? They had come when they were needed, and left when everything was better. It was as if they had been trying to help this entire time. She was grateful to them for it. She would look over to Alphonse and Lune to confirm that they were both okay. That’s when she noticed that Lune wasn’t breathing… Oh gods. She hadn’t drowned yet, had she? Naomi was sure Alphonse had gotten to her in time. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the traesto gem that she was still carrying, “Alphonse, I’m sorry for doing this, but these two need to get back and see someone. See if you can keep helping Sharaku and Kurasawa with Lewis.” She would look at the others that were still on land. Something inside of her was getting a strange feeling. It was like an emotion she couldn’t quite place her finger on. She didn’t have time to sit around and figure out what it was though. She crushed the gem, dragging herself, Rinna, and Lune back to the entrance of the alternate Lunapa.

As she finally saw the landscape of her world again, she would sigh in relief. One part down, one more to go. Both Lune and Rinna were in need of a doctor, but Lune needed to start breathing again first. She’d lie the young girl on her back and tilt her head back to open her air way. She would turn to Rinna, “I need to ask that you’re careful and don’t exert yourself. You’ve lost a lot of blood. However, we need to contact an ambulance or something. Please tell me you were carrying a cell phone that survived the lake.” When she was done with that, she put her hands together and started pumping on Lune’s chest. She would have called them herself, but she didn’t carry her personal belongings into the alternate worlds unless she needed to. She needed to focus on Lune right now though. She would take a deep breath before she lowered her head to begin giving mouth-to-mouth. She had to hope that she could get Lune to start breathing again until someone arrived that could do more. Until then, she would just have to continue going between CPR and mouth-to-mouth. There was almost nothing she could do to help Rinna at the moment, “Do you know how close to the main village we are?” She would ask Rinna has she went back to pushing Lune’s chest. She didn’t know Lunapa very well, but she knew that that’s where the people would be. She had to have hope that they were close to it. If she remembered correctly, they weren’t far. Right now she really wished she knew the place better. She would have to have hope that they were near someone’s home. Unless Rinna told her that the part they were in was dangerous, she would breath in and then shout, “Somebody help us.” She had to have hope that there was someone nearby that could help them. It wasn’t like any of them could split up.

Spoiler:

Sentinel looked over toward Naomi when she began to speak to him, saying that she was sorry about something. Then he saw Lune vanish from his hand, ah so she had used the gem to get them out of here...well that was fine. Their mission was complete, and they could use a gem to escape Lewis if need be, but he would rather deal with that man if he could. He had felt that mysterious presence move over to the bridge where Sharaku and Kurosawa was standing. "Get off the bridge!" He exclaimed as a warning, he knew something was eyeing someone in this place, and if it destroyed the bridge under Sharaku and Kurosawa...who knows what else could happen! The last thing the android wanted to happen was to see his friends attacked by this unknown force! However, they seemed to be at a standstill with Lewis, what was going on? Had Lewis said something critical? Was Lewis not the right guy?

No, no...he had to be. Rinna couldn't have pulled this off on her own, she had just awakened from the looks of it. The question was his motive to do what he was going to do with Lune! The android would climb ashore, unless he was stopped, and wait for Sharaku and Safi on the side of the bridge they were on when they had first entered. He turned toward Lewis, unsure of what to think at this point he wanted to strike the man after all he resembled Maria's father too much in his commitment to this one course of action. Once Sharaku and Kurosawa were close enough the android would inquire, "Well has he said anything of interest? Any idea of what he is capable of?" There goes the android always plotting and curious about what was going on. He needed to know to ensure the team's greatest chance of defeating this man...they could take him..all they needed to do was to come up with a strategy! Though they also needed to know his motive for doing all this. For now the android took a defensive stance with his gauntlets, showing he was being cautious.

The robot soon found out the answer to his question as Lewis struck him with his demonic hand's claws twice from a distance rather impressive. Of course, the man seemed to be rather upset about Lune disappearing, then again his terms of handing over Lune were still not agreeable so evidently this man was up to something. He might have been reasoned with, but he would have no doubt tried to pull a stunt. After the hit he watched Shun come up to him and it was more than evident that the young man was frustrated about how his diplomacy had failed with Lewis. He would allow Sharaku to say his piece before responding.

"Naomi completed the mission, Kurosawa. Lune and Rinna's condition was not any good, Lune wasn't breathing when I pulled her to the surface, so they needed medical attention as soon as possible. To maximize the success of the mission she made the right call, but let us turn our attention to the problem at hand." He glanced over to Sharaku, "I see, let's get the answers out of him the hard way then."

The android glanced over to see Lewis backing up a bit, his thought of how Rinna mentioned how Lewis liked to run. He glanced back toward the team, "I'd like to keep him within a certain distance, in case he tries to bolt for it. Cross the bridge as quickly as possible." The android said before dashing across the bridge, he felt as though there was something in the air, and he wanted to either force Lewis out or beat him down enough where they could drag him to some other place away from this odd presence. He summoned Odysseus to his side to provide covering fire while the group crossed the bridge. The Greek warrior took two bronze javelins and tossed them at Lewis hoping to knock him down once more. The android would keep trying to close the distance bit by bit, he knew it was more than a bit ironic that he ordered them to get off only to cross it once more. However, they had to be flexible to what the situation demanded. In that regard his only concern was Kurosawa because he didn't seem as fit as the others.
