Now he was tearing away at the rock with his hands, passing them to the people behind him or just moving it to the side. He'd refused to take anything more than short breaks from shifting through the rubble. He couldn't give up now, not when they were so close to getting everyone out. Not when he was so close to getting Thomas back.
Things had fallen silent on both sides of the rubble, and suddenly it seemed almost deafening to the wizard. The anxiety of not knowing what state everyone was in ate at him, and so Harry decided to cover things the way he always did.
"Hey Thomas, you still there, or are you taking a nap and letting the kids do all the work?"

One thing at a time, the first priority is getting the hell out of here she thought as she moved rocks aside.

Just how many fucking rocks were there?

"Minako-chan," she called through the rubble. "Stay strong... we're getting closer."
She'd been shouting encouraging remarks ever since they first made contact. It was the least she could do as they scrambled to dig their friends out.

He still couldn't believe that all of the people who had mysteriously disappeared three days ago - or had the days changed and it was the fourth now? - were HERE, buried behind a collapsed subway wall. What were the odds? Thank goodness so many people had come, after all; they needed every hand they could get. And Link was in there...he had been right about the boy being one of the ones missing. The knowledge that that little boy, his student and one of the youngest unfortunate residents of this horrible city, was trapped and injured in there drove him onwards. He had to help them.
The archeologist had made his way up near the front of the line that was moving the wreckage, working near Harry and Riza. Thomas was in there, too. He didn't know Thomas as well as Link, but the more people he knew, the more drive he had to fight the weariness. Harry - he'd worked with him a little bit earlier, occasionally using his own knowledge of holes to check the structure of the tunnel when Harry had been doing...something, to help keep it stable. Harry was yelling for Thomas. Hopefully Thomas or someone else would answer, give them an idea how close they really were.
There! Barely audible, but there: Thomas made a response. Daniel felt new energy surge through him. "We're almost through, guys!" he yelled, hoping enough people could hear his hoarse voice. "It's not far now! They're right there!" That would have to be enough. No more words for now - only digging.

He had to keep him talking. The more he talked, the less he focused on his Hunger.

A combination of the two was probably the worst for her. He dropped one of the rocks and went back to work...he had to get her out and get her the medicine she needed.

Who knew? Maybe Black Star would finally stop calling her wimpy.
Doubt it.
Trying to keep positive thoughts in her head was taxing. She could feel the souls on the other side, how weak they were, and it made her sad, made her ache for them. This required her to be stronger, to get to them faster, because there was only so much more she could take before she would break...

It was hard work but she managed to do her best and helped Michiru move rocks. She couldn't help but smirk slightly at the man name Thomas' comment on the other side, "Now, now, I really don't think that's appropriate talk for a place like this." She glanced over at the man who had responded, she was struck by the fact she barely knew any of these people but continued anyway, they had a common goal after all.

The ex-general was near Harry and Riza, helping them out as best she could. She wouldn't fail these people. It wasn't an option no matter how tired she was.

Finally, she got passed all the people passing back rocks and made her way towards the front, where she could feel Harry amongst the others there, "HEY! HARRY!" She rushed forward and without another word stomped her feet against the ground and made a push/pull motion with her hands, the earth started to shift and move and a good portion of the rocks fell away and were moved aside. Toph grinned, "I heard you needed a shovel."
She focused her attention on the people on the other side, she could feel the familiar forms of Thomas, Link, and a girl she'd met once but vaguely remembered...Minako? "ALRIGHT," she shouted, cracking her knuckles, "it's time to show you guys how to really dig." Thus, Toph got to work.

The woman was surprised by the shouts and turned to see the young blind girl approaching them. It was a little bit of a surprise to see the fresh face and Riza realized how badly everyone else must look. Still, Toph didn't seem to mind and excitedly got to work moving rocks with far more ease than most of them. The earthbender would come in a lot of handy down here.

He grabbed another rock in his filty scratched up hands and tossed it aside. "Clearly Riza's just so amazing she turned me straight. Then again, if I had been gay, dating you probably would have done that anyway!" That was it, they still had a ways to go, but they were getting closer by the second, he just had to hold on.
Suddenly a new voice echoed through the tunnel, and Harry gave a real smile for the first time all day. Looking over his shoulder he said, "Hey Fearless Leader, what took you so long? Getting your nails done? Time to show the grownups how to dig a hole."

"Toph!" he yelled, his laugh breaking up a little as he coughed dust. "You sure picked a perfect time to show me these 'earthbending' powers you keep telling me about! Nice dramatic entrance!"
