52 3:00 AM

"What?! The other men is caught?!" The leader of the thief asks yelling, "Y-Yes sir! T-There is multiple high class Mages!" The thief in front of him said afraid of what will happened if they stay longer here. "Tch, what are you waiting for? Beat them!" The leader, or Jack shouts at him. "B-But sir-" Jack cut him off, "No but-" Jack is cut off when the door in front of them opened, ice fog come in the railroad cart, as Ashley silhouette appears from the fog.

"W-Who are you?!" Jack yelled pulling his knife out, "Woah! Easy there!" Ashley said trying to make him drop the knife. "S-She is one of the high class!" The thief that is with Jack said surprises. "Me? High class Mage? Psh, thanks!" Ashley grins taking that as a compliment.

The thief beside Jack noticed Fiery Fire pin on Ashley's jacket. "S-Sir! S-She's n-not only a high class Mage! She's also Fiery Fire Mage! A-And her name is-" He said, he blabs like he's a fan of Ashley, and is cut off by Jack loud shouting. "What?!" Jack shouts surprises. "Ohoho! You know many! And yes, I am, the one and only Ashley Escarcha of Fiery Fire! Also known as Ice Cold Vagabond!" Ashley said introducing herself proudly.

"Jeez, instead of catching them as fast as possible, instead she just introduce herself." Zeolite sighs massaging his forehead in cart 1. "That's Ashley, what did you expected?" Hector said knowing how Ashley is after all these years. "Well, she's cool, perfectly match with her Magic." Theresa said trying to find the positive things in Ashley. "And what's with the fog effects?" Hector asks noticing the fog is still lingering in the cart. "To look cool." Zeolite replies.

Ashley fake cough to grab their attention. "As much as I appreciates your compliments, I have to ends your career now!" She said throwing her punches at them, her covered in ice fists come contact with their faces, as their body hits the window on the railroad cart, knocking them in an instant. "Well, that's rather easy." She said putting both of her hands on her hips.

She crouch down to grab the machinist collars and drags him outside the railroad cart. Her friends noticed her, "So, how it goes?" Zeolite asks looking at her, Ashley shrugs, "Meh, that was boring. What should we do to him?" She asks pulling the unconscious machinist up. "Obviously, let him rest." Hector replies to her. "Can't we just wake him in an instant?" Ashley asks tilting her head. "Of course not. Let's just get him to the sleeper cart." Theresa said walking to her side and walks her away from cart 1.

"Later. I want to get some rest." Hector said, visible tiredness is on Arkus face, as he walks away leaving Zeolite, Celine, and Aiden. Zeolite look at the two and sighs tiredly. "Let's rest." Zeolite said grabbing Celine hand, and stands up, he look back at Aiden who is still sitting on the seat. "You too." Zeolite sighs. "A-Ah, yes." Aiden said nervously. "Psh, kids." Zeolite mutters annoyed. Though, their ages different is just 2 years apart.

Commander Z sighs, he wrapped at Zosce kingdom balcony. He stares into the sunset, worried about them, and also worried if his identity is going to get leaked. "Man, this is tiring." He said and take off his mask, revealing the same features as Zero, messy grey hair that ends on his neck, heterochromia eyes, golden colored eye on his right eyes, and blue greyish on his right eyes.

"Commander Z?" Isla called from the door that connect the balcony to the main kingdom, Commander Z or Zero quickly put on his mask and turns around at her. "Isla! What may you need?" He said asking her warmly. Isla walk beside him, staring to the sunset scenery. "Nothing much honestly." She said.

The two stand in silent, without one of them let out a word, and just stares at the scenery, until Isla breaks the ice. "I heard you go on a scout mission before…did you meet my brother at any chances?" Isla asks while playing with her fingers. Zero smiles a little, "I do, I crossed way with him two times." He said turn his body to the side to look at the younger girl. "You do? Uhm…How is he?" Isla asks shyly looking at her foot. "He's well I guess? Not sure. But I can tell there's many peoples he relies at. And he is happy, grateful for what he receives." Zero said delivering her good news.

Isla face brightened with happiness, "Really? That's great." She said grateful that her big brother have a good life. "Yeah, it is." Zero chuckled patting her head. "Shall we return? Zosce might get mad if he didn't see us around." He said offering her his hand. "Oh, right. Yes, we should." Isla said as her expression drops down when he mentioned Zosce. "Cheer up! I will defend you if he accused you on something!" Zero said trying to cheer her up. "Yeah, thank you about your kindness." Isla smiles at him.

It's been 8 hours since they depart from the train station, and after the thief ambush. It's 3:00 AM, most of the passengers is already asleep, except for the staffs and machinist. Zeolite who just wake up from the disturbance of his teammates, he went to the washroom to wash his sleepy face.

Ashley snores loudly in her sleep, her left hand hang on the bed side. Theresa sleep peacefully, with blanket covering her stomach area and lower, her hands held together above the blanket. Celine sleep with her mouth opened a little, as she droll a bit, her arms stretched out. Aiden sleep quietly, no snores comes out from his mouth. As for Hector, he sleeps with both of his hands stretched out, hanging from the bed, loud snores escapes his mouth, Arkus sleep on Hector's stomach, with his tails wrapping around his tiny body, with droll escapes his mouth, wetting the blanket under him.

Zeolite come back from the washroom, and go to his bed, grabbing his book and leave the sleeper room, since it's too noisy for him to stay inside and stay sane. He walk to the cart that has vending machine and insert 200 Shards to where it instruct him to put, and insert the number of the coffee he want. He watch something push the can off of the rack, as the can falls to the bottom, Zeolite looks down at the hole that covered with a glass reads, "Claim it here!"

Zeolite push the glass a bit and grab the can, he stand up after it, staring at the can, "huh, neat." He said before opening the lid and gulp the coffee down his throat. He parts the can from his lips, and stares at the can. "It's actually well made." He said a little impressed. He then walks to cart 1 to sit there, reading his book peacefully.

He usually sleep for 5 to 8 hours. He likes to stay up late, but this time he can't go back to sleep since his teammates is goddamn loud. And he got no choice but to stays up until the train arrive at their destination.
