X-Furs!

Veritas rolled to the side.

Stay still you bastard!

If he could charge up a bolt and fire it without the red-caped man seeing, it would be too fast for him to react...had to distract him...

"You don't know, do you?"

Veritas laughed, sending another punch towards the odd human.

"Do you know what is on this train, human?"

[The Anean Star Empire]

The Inquisitor

Another punch, another teleport.

"No, how about you enlighten me? As far as I can tell there are only people here."

What is on this train that can be so important?

[Nova25]

I was still walking slowly and was now on the front cart of the Monorail Train, the Engine room, the wind blowing wildly in my face, or rather on the surface of my shield, when...

*What those crazies doing down here ?!*

A sound straight from hell, or one of those old-world dentist shop, could be heard, as well as a great amount of sparks on each sides of the Train... I though I saw someone climbing an emergency ladder, a few carts behind me, but I didn't had the luxury to turn and find more about this... I had to act fast and hard, or else I wouldn't be alive long enough to finish my job !

Damn planets of loonies.

Switching to *Strength* mode, *Only 2 minutes left ? Damned !*, I punched the Frontal window and went through it, landing at the left of that dear Red, who seemed to have taken quite a shock.

In fact, both seemed to be kinda tired for some reasons ?

*Ok ! I don't care what's happening anymore ! I'm in a hurry to leave that Train, alive if possible. So ? Who must I punch to end this mess ?*, I said still on *Strength* mode...

As the figure fled to the engine and disappeared Pressure pulled himself up. He upped his mass slightly to help keep balanced, and began to quickly jog towards the engine. He hoped that what ever this person was up to, it wasn't to derail the train. That'd just ruin his day.

[aatuylva]

"I...I won't let you stop me. There is a shipment of Excitrium on this monorail, and I need it!"

Veritas lashed out again, lightning arcing towards the Inquisitor.

He had to get it. Had to.

The conductor stirred, and Veritas looked over at him.

He thinks he's a bringer of justice, eh?

The fox began to laugh, not being able to contain the predator's grin on his face as he looked back up at the Inquisitor.

Sa was sleeping in an empty car, normally she would have shoed clare off but having a car to her self suited her as she was on a tour of the north and needed a sleep.

People tended not to enter the same car the clare was in as it made them scared, if the train was busy they tended to wait for the next, rather than enter the car. It felt cold and foreboding.

Sa woke up and muttered "What the in the ancestors name is going on?"

Clare shot up the train and entered the car in question. Her presence was likely to spook most of the people in the car, something evil was there now. Nothing they could put their figure on but something was evil in that car.

Clare moved about no-doubt causing many involved a measure of discomfort and unease. The more psychically aware the worst. before heading back to Sa to tell her what was going on.

The Inquisitor

"AHHH!"

The lightning caught me by surprise. I fell to my knees. It took some time before I could force myself to my feet.

"You will pay for that!"

This next move will probably exhaust what little energy I had left. I pulled out my sword then teleported. I slashed at him then teleported behind him and did the same.

After that, the injuries took their toll. I fell to my knees. I have to get out of here. I have done what I can.

Note to self, buy a gun.

[aatuylva]

There was the grinding of metal on metal as his suit was damaged by the sword, and when he struck him again in the back, sparks were flying..but not from the metal.

His suit was losing integrity and his powers were going haywire.

"You...you want this to stop? Get him away from me...I...need...to get the Excitrium..."

[The Anean Star Empire]

The Inquisitor

I crawled to the control panel. There is not much more I can do right now. I have to bring the speed down and get this train stopped. Then... then I will get out of here. I have my hotel room, though I will probably need something more permanent soon.

I reached the panel and turned the speed all the way down.

That is when I noticed a third guy. Where did he come from?

[The Union of Tinis]

The sound of sparks were heard over the roar of the train as Pressure finally got to the front window. He returned his mass to normal and slide in the broken window.

"Ah ha! Ah... huh?" he said. "What is going on here?"

[Nova25]

Still in my own corner, in the same room as Red and Fox, like I called them, I could see that they were visibly fighting each other...

Even my ''shattering'' entry didn't phased them ? I was standing there, in front of them, and they were even paying attention ? ...but... I thought of something.

Could it be... a duel ? The prize... the control of this Train ? ...and as a duel, I wasn't allowed to interfere. At that precise moment, that was the only possible explanation I could come up with.

Before my eye, I saw them both fight fiercely, but as the end of their duel was approaching, none seemed to take the advantage, both tired and weakened.

Only one thing was then left for me... The observer.

I drew my Long Laser Sword, which was carefully hidden and secured on my back, since the beginning... Never went in a mission without it...

I made one step forward and...

Reversing the breaks, who were thankfully identified, and undid the last act of dear Red hood, bringing the speed up again.

*I think I will side with the Fox, mister*. Looking intensely at Red, with eyes that were hidden behind the golden lenses of my NanoSuit.

"Kill a man while he's down? Coward. A coward in armor. That is all you are. Better make it fast or your entrails will cover this car."

[aatuylva]

Veritas looked up at the strange newcomer who offered aid.

"You want...to help?...in the fourth car...a shipment..guards...suitcase..bring it to me...our stop is coming up...and keep..keep these two away from me..."

[Nova25]

The Monorail Train was getting speed again, finally. As I noticed the fourth guy in the room, Red spoke to me, visibly weak after his draw in the duel. What he then said to me, could have shocked me, if I haven't heard those words a thousand times before...

*Sir, or whatever is your title, you lost this duel, like your friend over here*, I said, looking at the Fox for a second, *But you have my word of honor, as the Observer of a draw, that ''I'' will not be the one to finish you, unless you break the dueling rules*, looking at the Fox, *and you, I will help you finish your mission, but only because I decided so, consider yourself lucky*.

Then I remembered the fourth guy. *You, unless you intend to challenge me to a duel, this affair is now finish, return to whatever you were doing... and please don't use the Window-trick, it's my thing*... I smiled, behind my mask and went to the closed door of the Engine Room, mumbling to myself...

*Damn planet... I hope there's something valuable in the end of this mess.*

[The Union of Tinis]

"Duels? Shipments? Entrails?" Pressure shook his head disapprovingly. "I'm pretty sure one of you up to no good and I'd like you all to explain yourselves. For instance, what did you people do with the conductor? Answer me or you'll be sorry!"
