There was a giant lurch, something snapped and Bifrost tumbled into the floor with a squishy thud. Her cloths steamed and she felt some of her tunic fall to the fleshly floor. Grossgrossgrossgross! The Squire jumped up to her feet and returned Mistral's message.
"So you don't know what happened did you? There was a giant snapping sound... but there seems to be less of an overbearing youma presence. Which is either good or bad, or both, and I'm starting to think it's both." She paused, glancing out one of the windows that was still semi intact to see the walls speed by.
"We're going to go splat, aren't we?" she added, looking at the hologram with a very worried expression. She couldn't do anything to help prevent that without getting eaten or squished against the walls outside. Maybe she could set up her barrier preemptively incase something went through the front of the train...?
(Also she'd let bygones be bygones long ago. She'd realized she'd been hypocritical about the whole thing, and that Mistral couldn't have known what would happen when she sent people in.)
The Squire squared her shoulders, turned towards the front of the train, and readied her barrier. "I think it's going to get really bumpy from here on out! I'm gunna create a barrier when we get closer to the platform again in case!" She said to the car as a whole, fingers tightening around her rope chain. Chronos she hoped this worked...

Bifrost is readying to deploy her magic before the train crashes into Cars 2 and 3!

Snowball | HP: 110(?) (I forgot how to math) | Car 1
Snowball's attention was brought to the back of the train, that's right! "I can try there. Someone see if you can find something useful in the baggage maybe, a knife or anything. We need something to cut or try to fight our way out, if I can't blast ourselves out."
He smiled at the others but soon his communication to the outside world was gone. He sighed though taking note when one of the others did actually attack the train, "Good job!" At this point he didn't care, they needed to do whatever it took to try to get the train slowed down and everything stopped, "Snowball~" He answered when he was called cat.
"Just call me Snowball, I was talking to Polaris, my princess and senshi I protect." He added shaking his feet a little as he walked looking around.
He paused when she brought to his attention what if those other car's weren't empty. His eyes went wide, "******** . . . We gotta get outa here and stop it."
Snowball moved quickly as he headed for the back of the train, if others followed him or not and started looking and poking at the wall to find a thin spot, before hoping he'd found one and aimed his forehead lazer at it. "I'm soo never going on a train again." He muttered. He was sooo glad, that the lazer could be long range.
Snowball is using his Forehead Lazer at the end of the train where the other cars detached hoping for a thin spot.
The bowels of the train continued their impassive assault on the it’s passengers and Eros groaned as the bile and fluids burned at her nose and throat, irritating her skin. It was not hard to imagine being digested slowly, the way this felt.
Suddenly, there was a jerk and heave, sending Eros stumbling along after the Cat-man who had hold of her. Had… had the other cars come loose from the train?
The basic stared between the Cat-man and the girl with long teal hair, her eyes wide and confused. All of this felt so ******** real, man… Maybe she should just go with it? It couldn’t be any worse than just standing around, right? Either way, she could be putting herself in danger in the real world. Maybe take a chance that what was happening out there was what she was seeing in her, without all the magic and weirdness. She stumbled forward again when he started dragging her, sort of glad someone seemed to have a handle on things.
“Punch?” She laughed, incredulous. “Like, seriously? What are our fists gonna do to something this huge?”
But he was striding off again, thankfully not dragging her around this time. It did leave her at a loss though, standing there sort of forlorn in the middle of a run away train.
Did he say his name was Snowball? Seriously? Magic cat man, and he’s got THAT for a name?

The train barreled furiously through the tunnel, having freed itself from the burning wreckage of its other half. Another whistle cut through the din with a shrill cry as the train rounded on the carriages left behind. Already the other cars suffered a decomposition, with the youma crumbling away into piles of dust about the platform. With so much of the architecture exposed and brittle from abuse, the passenger cars themselves started on their slow collapse. So little of the original material remained that a sound strike from the youma train would obliterate the remainder, and inflict little damage on the creatures that remained.
Inside, passengers of Car 1 will feel an increasing centrifugal force as the train slows, then a jerk upwards as if the train intended to leap over the remaining cars. However, it froze in place at an angle, leaving passengers struggling to right their balance on the skewed car. Another whistle sounded outside, and a rumble ensued as several youma fled the surface of the train. Afterward, the globules encircling the floor dissolved into thin pools of ash that eventually claimed all of the carpet. Cannulae and other organic structures crumbled away into the same substance, leaving behind heinously abused seats, poles, and other structures. Even the lights flickered out as thick layers of ash collected behind the light panes.
It seemed the last car, Car 1, finally came to a stop. The continued groaning issued from the infrastructure suggested that the train wasn't built for its odd angle and pressure points, so leaping to the skewed surface of the platform was paramount. If one lingered for too long, then the train would surely collapse upon them.
Deadhead has been eradicated!

HP: 100 | Train Car 1 "Snowball?" Note to self, question Mauivan naming later. Now was far from the time as she watched the white and blue feline take aim towards the back of the train car. If her hunch was right, it would be weaker than the rest of the walls now.
That was when part two dawned on her. Turning to the rest of the train, Phact called out to everyone "Find something heavy! If we can get through the back wall, we need to still slow it down! Something we can attach and use as a weight!" Her eyes quickly went to Sabine with a nod.
She then turned towards the new senshi once more. "You might be surprised especially if you hit the same point he does with that laser. Just don't let the laser hit you." But before she could respond, her attention was caught by a knight calling out about a shield.
"How large is the barrier?" She called trying to see if they needed to adjust positions to be protected.
But all of her worry seemed to come to an end quickly as the train jerked again. It slowed, seeming to come to a stop back near a platform. When Phact finally found her balance, she moved towards the newly formed opening and looked out. Seems it was their turn to finally get off this nightmare.
Gazing back for everyone, she stepped out of the way. Sabine was her first concern but she wanted everyone off this train. "Time to go!"

Snowball | HP: 110(?) (I forgot how to math) | Car 1
"Last Stop, Everyone out!" He shouted and made sure that he was helping people off, despite his now splitting headache. "Single file, no pushing."
He added, as he was helping the women and children out, frowning at the child without his brother. When everyone else was finally out Snowball moved to pick up the body of the kid's brother, "Come on, you'll have to get him to the Hospital. I don't know what's wrong with him." Snowball lied as he carried the young man out with the child following him. "There should be emergency crews on the way soon."
They climbed out of the train and into the station.
One thing was clear, regardless of what had happened - Sabine was not at all pleased with the outcome. They needed to get out of the train - dead or otherwise. The last thing they needed was to deal with any sort of "real world" authority figure. She did not want to have to explain who she was or what she was doing or why everything was a ruin.
Best to leave that up to those who had more experience in this! Still, she felt a bit bad leaving the blind woman all to herself - senshi or not. So reaching back she tugged lightly on Metis' fuku.
"This way! Follow me out!" She quickly formed up on Phact and motioned for her to lead the way out.

Glitnir | HP: 120 (I think, I lost count) | Car 2, Exiting
Well, that could have gone significantly better. Glitnir had been left reeling after Eurydike's outburst and subsequent attempt to toss him away, and then everything simply cascaded. Things were on fire one moment, them crumbling away the next. The scourge that had overtaken the train seemed to be fading away and taking the train itself with it. People were exiting the train remains en masse, so he took that as his cue to exit as well. With surprising quickness, he made the leap from the nearest door to the platform.

Glitnir has exited to the platform!

Miasmite | HP: 110 (I think) | Car 3, exiting
Miasmite wanted to make a snappy quip back, he really did. But even he knew when to back down (probably). "Fine," he said with a huff before stalking off to assist with the door. He hoped that Ashanite would be happy with the temporary reprieve.
Now that the car had stopped the corrupted senshi hurried herself off the train and onto the platform where she turned to look at the dead, should she really be considering a train dead? I mean it was a train thus an inanimate object so it was broken and not dead, but than the youma. Oh it was a confusing thing really and shaking her head she turned toward the activity going on about the platform - so many people and so much going on.
(Finally posting here. Moving her to the outside thread.)

Hydrus and Bifrost
The train came to a halt, something about the youma being eradicated was communicated to both knight and senshi in the two different cars, and each made the decision to, as they say, GTFO as quickly as possible. Not that the platform was any better, but at least it didn't have the potential for exploding or attracting more youma.
Both decided a long shower was in order (Hydrus would do it for the sake of his hair, and besides he didn't have to get his whole body in the shower if he did it right anyway.)
