"YOU'RE ALIVE?!" I yell at her. Grunting as I push through my pain I grab her shoulders and shake her, myself feeling distraught and deeply confused.

"As much as we love reunions we need to get off this train with the target alive." The man in white says to me. Brushing past me coldly he goes up to Rose and takes the unconscious woman from her arms.

"Don't be so sour, Arty. Didn't you miss our uncle?" Athena hugs me tight and giggles as she speaks to the man. Cold blue eyes that are all too familiar meet mine.

"Of course I did, but I'd like to be alive more." He says gruffly. Tossing the unconscious woman over his shoulder he swiftly starts walking down the train cart.

"H-how... I... you-" Rose grabs me and has me follow the other two. I continue to stutter and look for words as we walk through different carts.

"LOOK OUT!" Athena kicks us back and tosses herself aside when a part of the roof is ripped open. The man in the black mask stares at us from above.

"Fucking hell, the cunts still alive." Arthur grunts and shifts the weight of the woman he's carrying before taking off down the train.

The man in the black mask jumps into the cart and stares at all of us. In an instant I see Athena tackle him and wrestle him to the floor. She gets him into an arm lock that makes him grunt. My eyes widen when he yells and stands with her body locked around his arm.

Slamming her to the floor makes her grunt and hold on tighter. I go to stand and help but my leg gives out, the bullet shot in it making it hard to move. Rose helps me stand and moves us towards the back of the train.

"N-NO! I need to help her." I struggle in her grip but she ignores me. I watch the man slam Athena into the wall before kneeing her hard in the stomach, making her spit up some blood.

"Hehe... that's all you got? You hit like a bitch!" She pulls a knife out and stabs him in the leg before uppercutting him, hard.

I stare in amazement at her skill and strength, she truly is a prodigy. Grabbing a railing above her she kicks him back towards us before launching at him and wrestling with him again. She's flung off of him and into some seats of the train with a sickening crunch. He stands and leers at us. My ears ring when I hear gunshots go off.

Rose holds a gun pointed at him, letting off rounds into the man. He yells in pain and stumbles. Moving to the opening of the train he snarls before jumping out. Scrambling to my feet I get up and limp towards Athena, desperate to get to her.

"Athena! Are you alright?" I ask her, helping her sit up. She laughs crazily before standing and dusting herself off, casually wiping the blood from her mouth.

"Fucking cunt, he broke some of my ribs." She smiles and hisses as she touches her side. I let out a sigh of relief and looked around the destroyed train.

"Looks like it's slowing down." Rose comments as the wind blaring loudly starts to calm down. The train is slowing down... why?

"GET OFF THE TRAIN!" Arthur comes running down the cart, carrying the woman as a couple of men chase them.

"What-"

"NOW!" I grunt as he hooks me onto his other shoulder and keeps running. I watch Athena pick up Rose and start running after us with a wide smile.

Looking at the men chasing us I see one of them wearing a strange vest. The wind leaves me as Arthur uses me as a battering ram to fling us out of the train. I skid across the floor and grunt in pain. Mere moments pass as Rose and Athena jump out of the slow moving train.
