The kuro footsoldiers returned, handing Takahara a title. It seemed the Shadow Line's remaining resources had been transferred to the ownership of Shocker+, under the orders of Emperor Zed. Takahara smiled and nodded as the Shadow Line was added to a list between "Black Mist Wrestling Federation" and "BAD Robot Rentals." The kuros handed him a number of rail passes, one of which he handed to Steve.

"This is a Shadow Pass, a free ticket to ride any of the Shadow Line's trains. They can travel between worlds with ease. Fair warning, the Kuros can be a bit... eccentric."
