The ear-splitting screams from the compartments were becoming louder by the second.
Flint took her face from the window and turned to look at the screaming children.
Just then she noticed a blue ring of light, coming towards where she was seated slowly, and passing over her.
It seemed the light had caught the children's attention as silence engulfed the room.
"Just what was that?" Flint asked no one in particular with a curious glint in her eyes.
Veering around as she felt someone breathing down her neck. On seeing the half-standing Sarah behind her, a frown marred her features.
"You do remember what Black said…Don't you?" Flint asked with her eyebrows slightly raised.
Sarah looked confused, as she didn't know what Flint was talking about "What did she say?..." Sarah asked, turning to look at Ulanni who was now out of her trance and was watching the both of them.
"Umm… I think she is talking about the ' no standing part ' right Flint" Ulanni asked for confirmation.
"Yeah… Now sit Sarah, Black would have her reason for giving that command" Flint stated firmly.
"I was going to sit. I am just going to sit close to the window." Sara said, changing positions away from where she was standing and keeping a grip on the chair in front of her, she moved forward and plopped down beside Flint.
"Hey, I want to sit close to the window too" Ulanni called out from behind, causing Flint and Sarah to slowly turn back and gape at her in disbelief.
"But… But you were scared by the monster's appearance…" Sarah drew out.
"That was before. Am not scared anymore" Ulanni said firmly, with her mouth in a thin line.
"But there is no more room for you to sit…" Sarah said, with her eyes darting around.
"Come over Ulanni, you should be able to squeeze in," Flint interrupted, waving her over.
Ulanni hurriedly stood up and made her way to sit in between them. She wasn't given a chance to settle down when a series of loud responding booming bangs could be heard.
The three girls both whipped their heads to face the window, to get a glimpse of what was happening outside.
The other children also disregarded Black's earlier warning, and now stood up from their seats, and rushed to a window nearest to them.
Flint didn't notice what was happening behind her as she had her face also turned to the window.
Numerous Blue energy beams were seen pulsing forward and razing every plant and animal in its part.
Flint looked in time to see the Fireymane creature leaping at least fifty feet into the air, as it soared in the air and was fast approaching the Mussel Mobile, the children could now get a closer look at the creature.
With its two paws spread out in flight, sharp black claws could be seen peaking the tips of its paws, which looked to be around two inches long.
However before it could pounce and have a grip on the Mussel Mobile, it was hit by one of the stray blue energy balls released at random by the Musket.
With the force the cerulean ball had connected, It had the Fierymane tumbling before skitting to a stop some feet away from the moving Mussel Mobile.
But, the children watching the whole happenings couldn't sigh out in relief as behind the fallen Fireymane were more creatures, pounding their paws and hoofs against the hard earth.
Small pebbles and non-evolved trees trembled slightly as the hoards of creatures stomped past them.
With more creatures joining in the chase, more cerulean balls kept shooting out of the Musket and connecting hard with the snarling creatures.
There was a creature with a body that was of rather small size compared to the rest with the structure of a human, and two legs, but three muscularly built arms, two on the right and one on the left.
And with sharp strong long claws elongating from the tips, as it raced with the other creatures to catch up with the Mussel Mobile.
When the cerulean balls embedded themselves in the body of this humanoid-shaped monster, it burst. With pieces of its flesh landing hard on the ground and trees nearby.
The glowing red flesh slowly lost its fiery red glow, before turning a deep brown in color, and specks of yellow could be seen floating away from the dead remains of the monster to the Mussel Mobile.
The death of that creature did nothing to deter the other monsters from their pursuit.
The Musket kept firing out a barrage of cerulean balls that kept gliding out in all directions with supersonic speed and continuous sonic booms could be heard.
The children all had their attention fixed on the happenings outside of the window. Some of the children were looking out with anxiety and others with anticipation of what was going to happen next.
The latter were mostly male amongst them as they had never seen such an action happening in real life before.
Suddenly there was a sudden jolt to the Mussel Mobile which shocked the children who were standing and caused them to lose balance.
With others able to hold onto something, others weren't so lucky as they found themselves crashing down hard on the metal floor of the Mobile.
With some of them hitting their heads and body parts on the sharp metal handles of the chairs.
This also happened to some children who were also standing in the first compartment.
A loud scream could be heard that permeated the air. "Ahhhhhh!!"
It came from the second compartment, the children all turned to look in the direction the heart-wrenching scream had come from.
There was a slightly tall red-headed girl who was bent over one of the chair handles and moaning softly, which was almost inaudible to the other children close to her.
The children who had fallen over earlier were now slowly standing up and scrambling to the chairs closest to them. It seems they had finally taken Black's warning to heart.
"Blooood!!" A high-pitched frightened voice screamed from a seat closest to where the bent-over girl was.
This cry out, managed to draw the attention of the children to the girl who had not still stood up from her bent-over position on the chair handle.
