As everyone jumped on the train, Mika stopped for just a moment to look in Binky’s direction. But as soon as Ashley called everyone aboard, she joined the other five espers on top of Peace Train.

The behemoth was massive. Even Mika had difficulty scaling the side of the thing. The wheels were as big as she was, and despite the squadron’s size, all six of them could have stood side by side on top of the train. As soon as everyone had gotten to the top, it started to move again. Binky threw herself off to the side as the train screeched past her. 

The robed specters turned to look at the newly arrived. They floated into the air and swirled overhead, hissing at the agents that were here to bring down the train. A minor complication, and an expected one. If they could find Peace Train’s weak point, they could destroy it before it did too much damage. 

But another complication would rear its head shortly. 

The Train was stopped again. The espers had to struggle to keep their footing, but the train started to move again before long. As it picked up speed, a field of wind pushed back the rain, which soared over head along with the specters. But that wasn’t a complication. The complication had just finished scaling the front of the train, and was flanked by Lexi and Bobo. He dusted himself off and slammed his shield into the top of the train. His red hair waved in the wind like a bonfire, and he pointed at the espers with an outstretched finger. One by one, he called out their names.

[color=c9272c]"Miko Twins, Cat girl, Gear boy, Spy girl, Techno girl."[/color] A grin crossed Elroy’s face. [color=c9272c]"You aren’t here to stop the holy roller, are you?"[/color] He looked at Mika [color=c9272c]"Heard about what happened at the church. Are you doing okay?"[/color]

[color=tomato]"I was."[/color] Mika fret her brow. Her voice didn’t hide her dissatisfaction with the legendary freelancer. [color=tomato]"But since you know what happened, you must also know you’re working with my partner’s murderers."[/color]

Elroy’s smile vanished, but he stood his ground. [color=c9272c]"Hate the employer, not the employees. Sometimes you need to do something that feels wrong because the outcome you want is right."[/color] Ashley couldn’t be sure, but she could swear Elroy’s eyes lingered on her for a bit as he said that. [color=c9272c]"...And protecting this train is right for me. Speaking of protectors, I see why Gear boy is having so much trouble with his love life. He surrounds himself with women wherever he goes!"[/color] His grin returned. [color=c9272c]"Hard to believe you were Pax Septimus’s first folk hero. I thought for sure you’d stop working with the government as soon as you rescued Betty."[/color]
