Chapter 4: Crazy Train

The following morning...

The ORC, with James, Llarya, Pennie and Thatan in tow, were now riding along in a speeding red and black train, no doubt belonging to the Gremory family.

"I never expected we would be hellbound on a locomotive like this," said James, looking out the windows, "especially one as nice as this..." James turned back around, seeing the gothic yet elegant interior of the train, feeling out of place like he usually does, "at least there is still such a thing as locomotives. One little thing from my past..." Adrian then took a seat next to his great great uncle, and patted him on the shoulder,

"Look, James, I know all this may seem different, but I'll be right here for you along the way, alright?" James chuckled, turning to his great grandnephew,

"Truthfully, this is the first time I've felt truly at home. It reminds me of that one time when Dutch, my brother and I all helped in that train robbery..." Adrian gasped,

"Oh yeah! Train robberies were your speciality back then, wasn't it?" James smiled, and began to tell Adrian of his times in the old west.

As this was happening, Katrina watched them as Akeno rested her head on the shoulder of the war goddess,

"I can't believe Jason would be like that...towards Adrian...and us..."

"It's my fault," said Katrina, being blunt, "I let him in, told him everything, and I knew he was a loose cannon...actually that's a bit of an understatement. But he simply did what he wanted with what I told him."

"Sounds more like Jasons' fault to me," said Rias, looking up from the card game she was playing with Issei, Asia, Xenovia, Llarya, Pennie and Thatan, the latter of which was struggling with the concept of how to play 'go fish.' Meanwhile, Kiba was reading a book, Gasper was sitting in his box while playing Isseis' Nintendo DS, and Koneko staring out the windows, lost in her own thoughts.

"Hey, Koneko," the girl didn't move, yet she knew if she had, she would have seen Damon laying on his belly on the floor, still sore from recieving his punishment from Rias the night before, "your food is going to get cold, and I know you aren't one to turn away food. What's going on?" Koneko turned to him with a smile,

"Nothing," she said, "nothing to worry about." Kiba looked up from his book, Gasper looked up from his game, and Damon gave her a hard stare,

"Koneko..." Damon began with a grunt, pulling himself up to the couch she was seated on, and propping his elbows up on the seat with a wince, feeling his sore buttocks as he moved, "...you are trying to bullshit the biggest bullshitter in the story, and possibly FanFiction history. Plus I told you my deepest darkest secret, one that Adrian and Rias don't know about. So c'mon, you can trust me, right?" Koneko kept silent, and looked back out the window, wishing not to respond.

"We will now arrive at the Sitri domain terminal," said a female voice in the trains intercom system, making Adrian furrow his brow,

"'Sitri domain?'"

"Hello Adrian." Everyone turned, and they saw Allen Wesker enter the room, along with the next head of House Sitri (who also happens to be his girlfriend) Sona Sitri, her queen Tsubaki Shira, and Sagi Genshuro, the remaining pawn of the Sitri House.

"Hey guys," Adrian greeted, and soon the others were greeting and conversing with them as well.

"Good to see you Sona," greeted Rias.

"Since you were kind enough to give us a ride on the Gremory Train, I thought I'd see how you were before we got off," said Sona.

"Fine, if not a bit anxious," admitted the red haired devil.

"Perfectly understandable," said Sona, "after all, this isn't a normal trip home."

"You guys are going to train in the underworld too, right bro?" Sagi asked Issei, who only stared dumbly at the Sitri pawn.

"Up until now, we were only informed that we would accompany Rias on this trip," said Xenovia.

"What was that human phrase I've heard?" Asked Thatan, "Oh yes, 'the more the merrier.'"

"Well I'm about to go work my butt off so then the next time we meet I'll be stronger," he then turned to Damon with a scowl, "you got that Damon?

"Keep dreaming, Vagi," taunted Damon, who then proceeded to swing his coat out of the way and slide his pants down so his buttcheeks were showing, earning blushes and annoyed groans from all around as he held up a large green orb with a screaming face on it, "and hey, before you go, be a babe and put this on my butt so it can heal faster?" Wesker turned to Katrina,

"I take it he's still being insufferably annoying after a thousand spankings?"

"Two thousand," corrected Rias, "after that incident with the septic truck, I felt a thousand wouldn't be enough."

"Hey! The only reason I pulled that was because Jason said he would pay off my entire debt if I did!" Shouted Damon. Everyone then turned to Damon in shock,

"You mean to tell me..." began Adrian with a shakey breath, "...that the whole septic truck charade was so Jason could square off your debt?!!"

"Yes!" Shouted Damon, "You think I would just willingly empty a septic truck for no reason other than kicks?!" The others were silent, and Adrian shook his head,

"Damon...why didn't you just come to me about paying off your debt for you? I could have paid it if you just asked."

"Because..." began Damon, turning to Adrian, still keeping his elbows propped on the couch with his rear exposed, "...you already did so much for me, and I don't want to owe more to you than I do those other guys."

"You do realize I still owe you for Liberty Island, right?" Asked Adrian. "When you got those Phoenix Tears from Ravel yet you won't say how?" Damon paused, blinked, and then shot up to his feet,

"HEY THAT'S RIGHT! YOU DO OWE ME FOR THAT!" He shouted indignantly, right before switching to a more calm tone, "And I know just how you can start with that..." He lifted one of Adrians' hands, slapped the green orb into the palm, turned around and bent over with his coat to the side, making Adrian close his eye in disgust,

"Damon, really?"

"You want to pay me back for saving your life, right? Well this is how motherfucker!" Adrian clenched the green orb in his fist, only to feel a hand on his shoulder, making him turn to see Katrina standing by him, taking the orb away,

"I got this," she whispered, and began to stride a good distance away from the bent over Damon, who had yet to turn around. "Hey Damon! Adrian won't do it, but I will!" Damon smiled without turning around,

"Awe, thanks Kat. You see Adrian, true friends never let friends walk around with sore-AAH!!" Damon jumped, cluching his rear after Katrina threw the orb at his rear like a baseball, and with Sektors Gauntlets on her hands and her promotion into a rook, the impact of the healing orb hurt worse than the initial punishment.

"That's for spraying shit all over the school, for listening to Jasons' nonsense, and just being a dumb cunt as usual!"

"FUCK!" He shouted, yanking his pants up and smoothing his coat out, only to see most of the room were stiffling their chuckles, causing his face to heat up, but he half relaxed when he saw Koneko approaching him, taking his hand and guiding him over to the couch,

"If all that is said and done, try to keep your pranks to a minimum," she said.

"Whatever," he grumbled, "at least Jason will take care of my debt."

"How?" Asked Adrian, "He doesn't have a dime to his name." Upon hearing those words, he tensed up, then slumped down in his seat,

"Fucknuggets...that means all that back at the school...was for nothing..." He then reached into his coat, pulling out a flask, and began drinking the contents.

"Pretty sure you would have done it anyway," said Koneko, then she turned to him, "and we both know the real reason you are acting more ridiculous than usual...Nyna...your wife..." Koneko then made sure her tone was even more hushed than before, "...Dante and Virgil." Damon sighed, clearly in defeat,

"Serves me right for telling you my deepest darkest secret..." he said, drawing out his phone, playing Ozzy Ozbournes' Crazy Train overhead, but took an extra moment to look at a special picture on his phone; a photo of himself in ornate green robes fit for a king, holding two three month old boys that looked almost exactly like himself, except they had pointed elven ears, like their mother.

"You really miss them, don't you?" Koneko asked with a smile. Damon smiled back,

"Yeah...I do."

"Sagi, Wesker, it is time to go," said Sona, bidding farewell to Rias and the others, "Goodbye and good luck," she said with a knowing smile.

"Goodbye, see you again soon," said Rias.

More time passed, and eventually the train began to approach a vast set of islands, making the Gremory House and their present friends look out in awe,

"If you were to compare the size of all this to the size of Japan, it would roughly be about the size of its main island."

"It's amazing," said Adrian, shaking his head, but suddenly the train screeched a halt, causing everyone to fall off their feet, bounce their heads off the window or both, even causing Damons' music to stop.

"Why have we stopped?!" Asked Xenovia.

"Like we would know?" Asked Damon sarcastically.

"The emergency brake has been activated said the woman over the loudspeakers.

"There's your answer," said James, "but who the hell stopped it?"

"I don't know," said Issei with perverted glee, "but I'm cool with the reason. We can even do it again!" Katrina saw Akeno had landed on Issei, her breasts in his face, and the war goddess helped her girlfriend to her feet, shooting the red dragon a glare. Koneko then perked up with a serious look,

"Something'a wrong!" A purple haze then appeared around the train, and before anyone could do anything, most of them began screaming and falling straight through the floor, and into a dark, unknown abyss...
