The MapleStory Polar Express

Chapter 4: Gotta protect myself from this frozen blizzard

Once Hawkeye pulled the golden ticket out of the air conditioner, he showed everybody that he found Irena's ticket.

Hawkeye: "Guys, I found Irena's ticket. So now, I must pull the brake to stop the train again."
Francis: "Oh hell no Hawkeye, don't do that again. If you do, the conductor will kick you out of the train."
Hawkeye: "Or I could do something else...wait, I heard where's he's take her somewhere important in the steam engine, they might first walked up on the train outside. I must chase after them before the frozen blizzard blows me away right now."
Francis: "You sure about this? If you go outside on top of the train, you'll freeze to death. We don't want you to get sick."
Hawkeye: "Don't worry Francis, I could do this. I just have to be careful when I head to the steam engine. I'll be back and you watch the kids while I'm gone. *Took a deep breath* Ok, here goes nothing."

Hawkeye placed the ticket under his shoe to keep it safe and was ready to chase after them. While that, Boogie didn't noticed why he was running to get to the black steam engine until he stopped and talked to her for a bit.

Hawkeye: "Hey Boogie, my name's Hawkeye. You haven't seen Irena around here since she forgot to get her ticket punched, have you?"
Boogie: "*Shook her head*"
Hawkeye: "Well, I know where the conductor took her very serious. Sorry to bother your devastation, but I have to go."

Hawkeye went outside and climbed up to the rooftops of the train to find Irena. He realized that it maybe too far away from his seat since the blizzard's too windy.

Hawkeye: "*Used a shouting voice* HEY IRENA, WAIT UP!!! I FOUND YOUR TICKET FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER! AND NOW, I MUST GIVE IT BACK TO YOU BEFORE YOU GET KICKED OUT OF THE TRAIN!!! IRENA, WHERE ARE YOU?!!!"

Nobody could help him survive as he walked carefully on top of the train. He must wake up to get his head back on the journey.

Hawkeye: "*Talking to himself* Wake up Hawkeye, don't give up on your journey. It's still anybody's trip to the north pole, don't give up and wake up. *Bended his knees and placed snow on his face* C'mon you could do this, there's no going back. You have to find Irena and give her the ticket so the conductor can hole punch it. Don't let her get away. I know this is hard, but keep going. You have to hurry before the blizzard gets into your way. *Looked down and closed his eyes*"

Until some sparkling white light shined bright and a person appeared, it was the phantom mage when Hawkeye opened his eyes and stood back up surprisingly seeing him.

Phantom Mage: "Hello, it is nice to meet you. What are some ways I can help you with?"
Hawkeye: "You must be the phantom mage, my name is Hawkeye and I'm a 2181 8th grade student. Irena left her ticket and forgot to get it hole punched by the conductor. That's why I had to chase after them before he kicks her out of the train."
Phantom Mage: "Greetings Hawkeye, you must be a big boy now. I know this is very hard for you to survive, but you have tell me where they went so I can know."
Hawkeye: "Ok phantom, I think they went...very straight towards to the front in the steam engine. Although it's too far for me to go, what are we really gonna do so the wind doesn't blow us away?"
Phantom Mage: "My skiing gear could help you get to the steam engine."
Hawkeye: "That makes a lot of sense but be careful, don't hurt yourself or I won't make my way to the steam engine."

When the phantom mage's ready to ski straight, Hawkeye held him and they're both ready to survive.

Phantom: "Ready?"
Hawkeye: "Yeah."
Phantom: "One, two, three!"

They started skiing when the train up and and down keeping Hawkeye safe from falling. When they got close to the steam engine, they stopped and Hawkeye thanked him for surviving without going back.

Hawkeye: "Thanks for letting me survive to the steam engine. It wasn't that scary when you helped me, didn't it?"
Phantom Mage: "Nope, it did not. If you have got lost in a frozen blizzard, you would've of died. But I'm very glad I got you the chance to help you do it. Oh and one more thing, where are you going?"
Hawkeye: "Heading to the north pole to see Santa. It's gonna be an awesome journey to go."
Phantom Mage: "The north pole? How interesting, I have my own christmas in the home of light in ereve."
Hawkeye: "Wait, you have your own christmas in ereve?"
Phantom Mage: "Sure I do, my sweetheart's waiting for me tomorrow so we can always be together."
Hawkeye: "Awesome, christmas will be great before 2181 shows up so I can graduate and move to high school next year. But it's really a secret so I can't tell everyone, huh?"
Phantom Mage: "I must stay away from them so I don't get captured by them."
Hawkeye: "*Pointed at the wall of the tunnel* We've talked too much. The point is that wall tunnel's gonna kill us. What am I gonna do?"
Phantom Mage: "All you have to do is jump! *When the phantom mage jumped, he disappeared*"

Hawkeye closed his eyes to think about it, until he opened his eyes and jumped into the boxcar of coal and made it inside of the steam engine. Once he was here, he pulled Irena's ticket out of his left slipper, placed it back on his foot, held the ticket and went to her on what she's doing.

Hawkeye: "*Pointed at Irena's shoulder* Uh...excuse me. Hi sorry to bother you Irena, but is this what you're looking for?"
Irena: "My golden ticket? Did you find it Hawkeye? Of course, you found it. I am very proud you kept it safe. Thank you. *Hawkeye gave the ticket back to Irena and placed it in a safe place*"
Hawkeye: "But there's no time for this till the conductor gets here, why are you driving a train?"
Irena: "They put me in charge since I wasn't gonna get kicked out of this. So I had to take care of everything of the train instead."
Hawkeye: "Well that makes sense, what's going on by the way?"
Irena: "Something strange is happening during our snowy trip, would you please pull the whistle and the brake on your right?"
Hawkeye: "*Nodded his head and then pulled the whistle and the brake*"

When Hawkeye pulled the whistle and the brake, Smokey and Steamer were finished fixing the lightbulb of front of the steam engine and the train stopped. Then Hawkeye and Irena went outside to see strange stuff.

Hawkeye: "Moose and Reindeers blocking our path? No way, there's nothing to do for them to move."
Irena: "I'm afraid so."

Until the conductor got angry when he came to the steam engine telling Hawkeye if this is a determined train.

Irena: "*Pointed outside* Look!"

The three people looked outside to see some any animals in the way, they really don't know what to do.

Hawkeye: "By the way, I found Irena's ticket inside of the air conditioner and gave it back to her. Now you can hole punch it."
Conductor: "*Started to calm down* You found Irena's golden ticket? Is that what happened?"
Hawkeye: *Nodded his head*
Conductor: "Hmm...I see. I'll punch hole her ticket right now."

The conductor looked at Irena and asked her to have her ticket punched, then she gave it to the conductor and he hole punched and gave it back to her.

Hawkeye: "The point is how do we make those animals move?"

The people started to think about how to make those animals move out of the way.
