Writer's note: From this chapter onwards, I will be changing the way I write speech to make it easier to understand for someone who may be confused.
I will also be writing the special in a section of parts in order to keep my motivation up and prevent you all from getting bored.

The group consisting of Loop, Beerus, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and Tanjiro arrived at the station for the Mugen Train, and stopped to look around.
Zenitsu, Beerus and Loop had all been on a train before, and knew what was going on. The same could not be said for the others, though. Tanjiro saw it as the God of the land, and tried talking to it, and as for Inosuke.. He thought it was a great beast and tried to fight it, drawing his katanas in broad daylight in a crowd full of people.
Obviously, this was a stupid action on Inosuke's part, as most civilians of the time were not used to seeing shirtless men with boar heads in place of their own wielding katanas and trying to fight a train. They reacted as such, screaming and scrambling to get away from this thing that was speaking like a human and yet acting so.. monstrous, to say the least.
The commotion caused the police guarding the station to step forward, and shout at Inosuke and the others to lower their swords. Loop was frustrated, and debated just killing the officers straight up, although he knew that would simply make more problems, and would most likely result in the Hashira trying to kill him, which he assumed they could.
[Loop, Slight frustration in his voice]- Inosuke, you can't fight a train. And Tanjiro, it's not a God or anything, it's a machine made to take people to places faster.
[Inosuke, laughing before talking]- Shut up Boop or whatever your name is! I WILL SLAY THIS GREAT BEAST AND SHOW MY POWER!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
[Tanjiro, confused]- Uhh, Inosuke, you can't kill it! It's a god!
[Loop and Zenitsu at the same time]- Don't they understand?
Beerus watched on silently as Loop went over to Inosuke and Tanjiro and grabbed them, Inosuke by his wrist and Tanjiro by his collar.
[Loop, to the police and then Beerus and the others.]- It's okay guys, I'll take them from here. C'mon guys. Let's. Go. {He winked as he said that}
Tanjiro noticed that, and nodded. Inosuke was oblivious though, and began shouting obscenities at Loop, even going far enough to attack him with one of his swords as he was dragged. Loop let it cut him, making sure to protect his head, and continued walking away. As they were walking, Beerus went behind Loop to prevent any onlookers from seeing the small tendrils of flesh deflecting Inosuke's sword any time it went near Loop's head.
[Beerus, slightly concerned]- Hey, uhh Loop? We can't just leave. Y'know that, right??
[Loop. kind of annoyed but still calm]- Yeah, I know. I've got a plan, don't worry about it.
As they finished the small exchange of words they walked around a corner and Loop let go of Inosuke and Tanjiro, pushing them forwards.
[Loop, Frustrated]- What were you two thinking? Inosuke, pulling out your sword in public? Do you want us to fail this mission before it even starts? We need to get to Kyojuro Rengoku. If you act like that, we have no chance even setting foot on that train. And as for you, Tanjiro. It's not a god, there's nothing special about it, don't go around acting like that in public. We can't have people finding out about the Demon Slayers, we've got a task and we're going to complete it no matter the cost.
[Beerus, concerned]- Guys, he's right. We can't afford to slip up now. And doing that made things harder for us as now we can't board the train normally. We're going to need to find another way on. Does anyone have any ideas?
Everyone sat for a moment and thought, before Zenitsu spoke.
[Zenitsu]- Why don't we jump on the back? There's a door there. And if a ticket inspector comes up to us, we'll be fine since we actually bought the tickets. Sure we were denied entrance due to the antics of Inosuke and Tanjiro, but once we're on, assuming we can show that we paid to enter, we'll be fine to complete the mission.
Everyone considered the idea for a moment, and discussed how they were going to do it, so that everyone knew the plan. Before they put the plan into action though, Loop spoke.
[Loop, confident]- Okay guys, we've got this, we need to get onto the tracks, and sprint for the back of the train. One thing nobody mentioned and I just noticed, however, is that we'll be stopped if the train hasn't started moving yet. This means that we'll have to wait until the train starts moving. For me and Beerus, this won't be a problem at all, but are you three sure you can do it? If not, me and Beerus will simply do the mission on our own.
Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu were all certain they would be capable of boarding the train without any difficulties. Being aware of this, they sat down and waited until the whistle signalling the train was departing. Upon hearing this, they got up and climbed down onto the track, looking at the train picking up speed for a moment, before beginning to sprint.
Loop made it first, jumping up and grabbing the pole to steady himself, followed shortly by Beerus, doing the same. They turned and looked at Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu, who were a bit away, but gaining on the train rapidly. Not too long after, Tanjiro and Inosuke had joined them on the train, but Zenitsu looked like he was struggling. Loop got down on one knee, and sent out a few tendrils for Zenitsu to grab. He managed to grab one, and Loop lifted him up, placing him down on the platform.
As they all looked out into the distance, Loop spoke.
[Loop, somewhat excited]- Alright. Next step, find Rengoku.
