Luc is holding the fragile feather. It looks like an ordinary one. No specialty.
"What should we do with this?" asks him.
Ifrit shows up. He comments, "Try dipping it into that lake."
The feather got wet and it begins to glow.
It shatters into millions of golden dust. The magic dust fell to the No Name Lake.The lake begins to glow and a train emerges out of it. Water is dripping down from the black train. The interiors seem dry enough.
Dante comments, "It doesn't make sense. Won't it rust, staying under water?"
"None of business with Guardians made any sense," adds Claudia.
Undine, Ifrit and Zephyr have showed up. Gaia hasn't come to send them away.
Charlie asks, "Where's Gaia?"
Ifrit mocks, "The big brute is crying in his shrine. Thinking you humans would be dead soon. Couldn't bear to see you off."
Luc says, "Tell Gaia, we will be back."
He makes a gesture and all of his teammates board the train.
The whistle is blown and the train begins to descend back into the water.
Humans used to travel in trains like this. Before the Demon Lord broke free and wrought havoc to the world. Nowadays you could still find train cars decayed here and there.
Sometimes in their travelling, Luc and his friends stay in an abandoned train car for a night or two. You could easily find them scattered all over the world.

Dante looks through a glass window. He asks, "Didn't it bother you? Our train is moving on its own. Submerged under water. With no engineer on board. Passing through dead underwater cities..."Claudia protests, "Would you stop whining?"
Kira howls. The parasite doesn't seem happy in a moving train. The tremors made it sick.
