Soul Eater Post

chapter 14

The next day we woke up and walked to the diner car. I felt like crap and didn't sleep well at all.

"You two don't look so good." Kid said.

"I am still recovering from whatever I had." I responded.

"Two words... motion sickness." Dragedge added, covering his mouth.

The train started slowing down for some reason.

"Is this the right stop? Or even a stop?" Black Star asked.

"No. There must be something wrong if the train is slowing down here." I responded.

"We should check it out." Dragedge said.

We agreed and started to walk to the front of the train. We noticed a few of the other passengers starting to freak out.

"Is there a problem?" I asked the conductor.

"There was a broadcast of a dangerous stow away." He responded.

Before anything else can be said we heard a loud explosion.

'Oh come on.' I thought to myself.

We ran towards the sound. People were running towards us screaming.

"We need to open doors and let these people off before there is a stampede." I said.

The conductor along with other employees opened the doors and passengers flooded out.

"How good are you all with balancing?" I asked, turning to the group.

"Pretty good." They all responded.

"Good we are going to jump along the seats to get to the source of the explosion." I said.

Everyone nodded. I jumped and started on the way to the back of the train. The other followed with victor bringing up the rear. We ran to the middle car and saw nothing but a hole. We looked around a bit but didn't see anything. After a moment or two, Dragedge noticed a shadow.

"Is that a shadow in the other car?" Dragedge pointed.

"Maka, are you able to see its soul wavelength?" I asked.

Maka nodded.

"There are two. A smaller one and a larger one. I am pretty sure they are both kishin."

"Let's get this over with." Dragedge sighed, holding his stomach.

"I can break the door and you guys can get in. Victor, can you heal Dragedge so he can fight? Be careful we are not sure how powerful they are or if they have back up. I can support you guys from here. Sound good?" I instructed.

Everyone nodded.

"Hatori are you ready?" I asked with a smile, holding out my hand.

"Of course." He said, coming closer, taking my hand.

"Which one would you like?" He asked.

"How about stone?" I replied.

He nodded and changed into a gray bow with carvings.

I aimed and formed an arrow blasting a hole in the door handle.

" You are good with a bow and arrow." Victor complimented us.

"Thanks." I responded.

The door swung open and the kishin paused. It turned facing the group. I readied another shot. The others rushed in.

"Hey Hatori. I think they need to cool off a little." I said.

"Got it." He responded.

He changed into a beautiful sky blue bow with what looked like crystals but were actually ice crystals. Victor watched, surprised, I aimed and hit one in the shoulder, ice started forming around where the arrow hit. It winced and looked around.

"Why are you not using the madness arrows?" Hatori asked.

"I want to save as much energy as I can in case we get attacked by something stronger." I answered.

We were able to defeat the kishins easily.

"Why does something happen every time we go on the train?" I asked.

"No idea." Dragedge responded.

"Well now we have to find a way to the airship. It's another day's travel to it." Victor said.

We looked around and noticed the conductor waving us down. I told the rest of the group and we walked over to him.

"There are buses that are going to take you to the closest hotel. It is a few hours bus ride unfortunately, or you can wait till the next train comes in a little to replace this one." He advised us.

"What do you guys want to do?" I turned to the group.

"We can take the bus." Soul said.

"We were able to get a few greyhound buses to come and take you all. It will be more comfortable." the conductor added.

"That works for me." I said.

"We will get a room at the hotel and continue the trip in the morning." Hatori continued.

Dragedge looked a little on edge as we were waiting in line for the bus. I tapped his shoulder and magic went flying towards us hitting Victor and I. I had a familiar feeling wash over me and knew exactly what happened.

"Oh no." Dragedge squeaked.
