The train's whistle blew as it chugged across the snowy Russian countryside, leaving the city of St. Petersburg behind. Ana, her pet Pooka, Suzako and Lelouch were settling inside one of the train cars. While Ana watched the country pass, Lelouch was writing up phoney traveling papers and Suzako was stowing their luggage. Once he was done, he sat near Ana, who was playing with her necklace. Suzako said to Ana: ,, Stop fiddling with that thing, and sit up straight! Remember, you're a Grand Duchess! ,,
Ana said with raised brow: ,, How do you know what Grand Duchesses do or don't do? ,,
Suzako sighed and said: ,, Look, Ana, I'm just trying to help. ,,
Lelouch looked up at the two and rolled his eyes. Ana asked sweetly: ,, Suzako? Do you really think I`m royalty? ,,
Suzako replied as he looked at Ana: ,,You know I do. ,,
Suddenly she said angrily, while giving angry look to Suzako: ,, Then stop bossing me around!,,
Ana turned back to window and ignored Suzako. He looked back at Lelouch, who said: ,, She certainly has a mind of her own. ,,
Suzako said as he looked at door: ,, She is stubborn . ,,
Briana ignored him and was silent. A few hours later while Lelouch went on walk with Pooka, Ana and Suzako were sitting silently, ignoring one another. Then Ana asked: ,, Do you think you're gonna miss it?,,
Suzako looked at her with raised brow: ,, What? Your behaviour? ,,
Girl said as she looked away: ,,I meant Russia. Wasn`t that your home? ,,
Suzako said without interest: ,, It was a place I once lived. End of story. ,,
Ana was surprised and couldn't believe him, for she wished to find her home with family that loves her. She reasoned as she looked at Suzako: ,, Then, you must plan on making Paris your true home. ,,
She was unaware that it only made Suzako remember painful memories of his past. He looked at her annoyed: ,, What is it with you and homes? Why do you care? ,,
Ana stood up and said: ,, For one thing, it's something every normal person wants! ,,
She tried to get past him, but couldn`t and got on seat as she said: ,, And for another thing it's a thing where you-,,
Suzako got up and asked : ,,What? ,,
Ana had enough and snapped as she got off the seat: ,, You know. Oh, just forget it! ,,
Suzako snapped back:,, Fine! ,,
Ana said nothing as they looked away. Lelouch opened the door and walked in with Pooka in his arms. Ana gasped as she pointed to Suzako: ,, Oh, thank goodness it's you! Just please, remove him from my sight! ,, Suzako was frowning, but said nothing. Lelouch asked his friend : ,, What have you done to her?,,
Suzako turned and cried : ,, Me? It`s her! She started it! ,,
Briana gave him angry look and walked out of car, slamming the door behind her before stalking off angrily. Lelouch said as he still held Pooka: ,, It looks like an unspoken attraction. ,,
Suzako was shocked and asked with anger: ,, Attraction?! To that plain, ugly little brat- have you lost your mind?! ,,
He walked out of car, slamming the door behind him. Lelouch said as he looked at Pooka: ,, I was only asking a simple question. ,,
Suzako muttered as he went up the hallway: ,, Ridiculous and stupid. ,,
A few hours later, the green demons caught up with the train and some of them descended, speeding it up. Unaware of possible danger, Lelouch down the corridor of the train, with his newly forged travel papers in hand. Just as he was about to pass a man and a woman, he heard them talking. A man said as she showed his papers: ,, Last month, the travelling papers were blue. Now, they are red. ,,
Lelouch looked at his papers and gasped as he realized that they had blue color instead of red. He heard a guard asking for papers and quickly rushed to their cart. A woman complained at Lelouch as he almost hit in her: ,,How rude!,,
Back in their car and unaware of possible trouble, Ana was sleeping peacefully, covered with cloak ,Pooka watching from the window and Suzako was reading a book, sitting across from them. He looked at Ana twice, but decided to read on. Lelouch came in and said as he was holding a paper: ,, It's what I hate about this government. Everything's in red. ,,
Suzako jumped to his feet, shocked that travel papers had changed. Lelouch said as he turned to pick his luggage: ,, I propose we move to the baggage car before the guards come. ,,
Suzako replied, picking some of their bags: ,, I propose we get off this train. ,,
Green demons flew past the window and were unnoticed, except for Pooka. He barked at them, warning others. One of demons flew to window and made a grotesque face at the puppy, scaring puppy. Suzako said as he tried to wake Ana, shaking her shoulder: ,, Hey. ,,
Suddenly a hand flew up and hit him in a nose. Suzako cried in pain as he fell on seat, holding his nose: ,, Ow! ,,
Ana woke up and sat up, saying: ,, Sorry, I thought you were someone else. ,,
Suzako checked his nose for any traces of blood and Ana: ,, Oh, it's you. Well, that's OK then. ,,
Suzako stood up, took her hand. He pulled her out of the compartment as he said: ,, C'mon. We`ve got to go. ,,
Ana asked as she took a coat and put it on: ,, Where are we going? ,,
Suzako replied as he went to baggie car:,, I think you broke my nose. ,,
Ana scoffed she put the coat on: ,, Men are such babies. ,,
After a few minutes, they entered the baggage car, Suzako said as he looked around: ,, Yes. Yes, this will do nicely. ,,
Ana came in the baggage cart and closed the door behind her. Lelouch rubbed his frozen arms as he complained: ,, She`ll freeze in here. It`s so cold. ,,
Suzako said as he put their bags down: ,, She can thaw in Paris. ,,
Ana looked around and asked with raised brow: ,, The baggage car? There`s nothing wrong with our papers, is there, maestro?,,
Both men smiled, but Ana could see through them. Suzako said as he came to Ana: ,, Of course not, Your Grace. ,,
He continued as he took her back from her hands: ,, It`s just that I hate to see you forced to mingle with all those commoners. ,,
As demons flew under the car, Pooka barked once again, but it went unnoticed by the group. They broke a chain, causing a big explosion. It blew the engine and baggage car apart from the rest of the train, knocking Suzako and Ana off their feet. Only Lelouch kept his balance and looked through the hole. Suzako cried from pile of luggage: ,, What was that? ,,
Lelouch said he watched the rest of the train being left behind: ,, I don`t know. But there goes the dining car. ,,
Pooka continued to bark at the door, while Ana and Suzako were trying to untangle themselves. Ana cried as she tried to get some bags off her: ,, Get off me! ,,
Suzako said from under a big box, trying to get it off: ,,I`m trying. Hold still! ,,
They struggled and Ana kicked the box in Suzako`s face. He cried out in pain, before they finally got themselves untangled. Lelouch came to window and said as he noticed the red glow: ,, Uh, Suzako. ,,
Suzako asked indignantly as he was standing on one leg, massaging his other leg: ,, What? ,,
Lelouch continued as he looked at red engine: ,, I think someone has flambéed our engine. ,,
Suzako made it to the door quickly and opened them. He said as he put his coat down and handed it to Ana: ,, Something`s not right, ,,
Suzako jumped to ladder of the coal cart and said, before he climbed on coal cart: ,, Wait here. I'll check it out! ,,
Swaying with the movement of the train, Suzako walked over the coal and jumped down into the engine car. Shielding his face with his arms from heat, he looked around. But no one was there and Suzako asked: ,, Anybody here?,,
He leaned down to check the speed gauge in the overheated controls, jumped back as it exploded in his face.
At baggage car Ana was looking through opened door as she cried: ,, We`re going way too fast! ,,
Suzako made his way back and jumped, landing on the couplings between the cars. He said urgently: ,,Nobody`s driving this train. We`re gonna have to jump! ,,
They rushed to the sliding slide door and Ana asked as Suzako pulled the door open: ,, Did you say jump? ,,
They got on their hands and knees and looked at gorge below them, nothing but darkness to be seen. Ana said as she pointed to gorge: ,, After you. ,,
She had a point, for jump would only kill them. Suzako looked back at her and said: ,, Fine. Then we`ll uncouple the car. ,,
Demons heard Suzako`s idea and rushed to couplings, whirled around them, melting them together. The disappeared, before Suzako jumped on the couplings. He called to his friend, who took a toolbox: ,,Come on! I need a wrench, an axe, anything! ,,
Lelouch opened the tool box and said as he gave his friend a hammer: ,, Here! ,,
On a wooden box, Pooka barked incessantly. Ana looked at box and smiled as she got an idea. She opened the box and took a stick of dynamite. Meanwhile, Suzako had struck the hammer against coupling several times. But failed and broke it. He groaned as he tossed the broken hammer away: ,, Come on, there`s gotta to be something in there better than this. ,, Ana handed him a lit stick of dynamite and he said, looking at it for a second: ,, That`ll work. ,, He put the stick between the welded coupling and urged Ana, Lelouch (who held Pooka) to hide behind some large crates towards the back of the car. They hid behind the crates and Suzako asked Ana: ,, What did they teach you in the orphanage? ,,
They ducked and covered their heads as dynamite exploded, separating engine and car. Quickly coming out of their hiding place, they noticed a big piece of cart had been ripped apart and several flames were going on. Lelouch got to the break wheel and turned, but it didn`t move he called to others: ,, The brakes are out. ,,
Suzako replied as he beat the small fire with his cloak: ,, Turn harder! ,,
Lelouch turned harder, but small wheel broke off in his hands. Suzako tried to reassure himself and his friends as he said: ,, Don`t worry. We`ve got plenty of track. We`ll just coast to stop. ,,
Suddenly all three were knocked of their feet as giant demon broke the bridge crossing the gorge, before he disappeared. All three stood up and gasped as they saw broken bridge. Ana looked Suzako and asked, trying to hide fear: ,,You were saying? ,,
Suzako quickly recovered from shock and called as he grabbed part of chain on his way to door: ,, I`ve got an idea, Lelouch. Gimme a hand with this. ,,
Ana saw Lelouch loose his footing due to moving or the car and he landed in an opened crate. Half-hanging under the doorway of the car, Suzako looked up and called out: ,, Hand me the chain. ,, Ana was holding a chain and Suzako scowled at her: ,, Not you! ,,
Ana replied, before she gave him the chain: ,, Lelouch`s busy at the moment. ,,
He took the chain from Ana and tie it around the undercarriage of the car. A piece of metal came loose from farther up the car and shot towards him. Ana grabbed Suzako`s hand pulled him back up into the cart as metal flew past them. They looked at each other for moment, but turned as sound of crack was heard. Metal sliced into a tree, splitting the wood .They were worried for a moment, then Ana said as she recovered from shock: ,, And to think that could have been you . ,,
As soon as they were standing, she let go of Suzako`s hand and turned away. Suzako dusted himself and said: ,, If we live through this, remind me to thank you. ,,
The cart was still moving after the burning engine. The chain was piled up at the door and Suzako and Ana knelt down. They pushed the chain as Suzako grunted: ,, Here goes nothing`. Brace yourselves. ,, They gasped, hopping it saves their lives. The hook on the end of the chain lay on the track for a moment, but jumped as the line was pulled taut. It ripped through one wooden spar, then another, before finally catching. Everyone were knocked off their feet and train car pulled sideways, sparks flying from underneath. But they got on their feet, picked their bags and stood at the open side of the car as they passed through a giant snow pile. Ana said as they got ready to jump: ,,Well, this is our stop. ,,
Everyone jumped of the car, landing in snow. The engine and train car came to broken bridge and fell in the gorge, where they exploded. Suzako said as they got on their feet: ,, I hate trains. Remind me never to get on the train again. ,,
Back in his lair, Arthur was furious. Briana was still alive and escaped the second time. He cursed as he slammed the fist at pillar: ,, Bloody hell! How could they let her escape? ,,
Flying mint bunny hid behind the pillar and said nothing. After his master calmed down, he flew to him and said: ,, Maybe you need someone better. ,,
Arthur asked him: ,,What are you talking about? ,,
Flying mint bunny said as he did some kung Fu moves and kicked: ,, Briana, sir. Just wishing I could do the job for you, sir. I'd give her a ha, and a hi-yah, and a whoo-ah! And I`d kick her, sir. ,,
Arthur smiled cruelly as he got another idea to kill Briana: ,, Oh, I have something else in mind. Something more enticing. Something really cruel. ,,
