This is the next-to-last chapter! :)


Chapter 11: No interference is allowed.

Tasuku, Kyoya, Zanya, Tetsuya, and Akatsuki were all back at the train. Kyoya pointed an evilly accusing finger towards the face of his archenemy, Tasuku, and said in a matter-of-factly manner, "You a rotten Lopunny." Tasuku, however, was completely unaffected due to his mind being dominated by thoughts 'about Gao and Kiwi.

"Where are Gao and Kiri?" he asked to no one in particular, deep concern evident in the tone of his voice.

Tetsuya glanced around. "I don't see them…"

"I haven't seen them, and I've been here the whole time," Akatsuki added. "Maybe we should go look for them."

Just then, Sophia poked her head out the window. "What can I do for you," she asked.

"Aagh!" screeched Zanya, retreating at such a high speed that he lost his footing and nearly fell to the ground.

"All aboard," Sophia said as she started up the train engine. The wheels slowly began to roll.

"Ack wait for mee!" Tetsuya yelled as he raced after the train. Tasuku pulled the emergency brake lever and Tetsuya hopped on as the train came to a halt.

"No interference is allowed," Sophia blankly stated as she slammed the driver door open. "I cast Great Fate Frozen Stars!"

Everybody froze.

The train chugged over the land peacefully in utter silence. Soon, it reached the edge of a volcano. There were no screams as the train drove onto the rickety wooden bridge, because everyone was frozen. However, they began to melt out of their immobile state. The train continued until it drove straight into the castle on the other side.

"Is it just me or is this place over 100ºF?" Zanya questioned analytically. He pulled out his iPhone and checked the built-in thermometer app that cost $10. "It is 100ºF!" he screamed in disbelief.

"Yo, let's get outta here!" Tetsuya yelled. He glanced backwards and behold! he saw a battered and broken up excuse for a bridge which formerly expanded across the large lake of lava.

"We seem to be in a castle," Akatsuki noted worriedly.

Sophia said nothing, as always.

"I be Nyo Dragon, Drum "Zuh" Future. Who dareth entereth myth cas-uhl?" Nyo Dragon, Drum "Zuh" Future asked in a booming voice with a slight British accent. Suddenly, he realized it. "Yew dareth cometh into me castle. Oi 'tack yew," he bellowed, just like those handheld ones used in iron or silver forges for the black/silver smith.

"What's that?!" gasped Akatsuki in shock.

"It is "Nyo Dragon, Drum "Zuh" Future"," Zanya informed his younger brother.

"That's not so helpful," Kyoya complained.

"You're not so helpful," Tasuku quipped.

Gao stepped out of the train and approached the large Nyo Dragon. The others could only gape at his fearlessness.

"Yo."

Gao was fiercely deep fried by Drum's fiery hot breath that was pumped out of his mouth by his lungs.

"Choppa" was the only word Gao could mutter 'fore his pals dunked him headfirst into a vat of room-temperature water. "Phew!" he exclaimed.

"Are you 'K?" Tetsuya asked.

"Gao!" Tasuku asked.

"Ha serves you," Kyoya smugly answered.

"Hey! Respect Gao!" Zanya yelled.

"Big Z!" Akatsuki screamed.

"I almost drownded," Gao complained. Everyone 'cept for him sweatdropped like pros. Koyall gleefully grinning greedily. Drum sighed and the fire that came out of his mouth sent the friends flying back o'er the bridge and into the train which had departed a few seconds ago.

"Hey…..is for meeee!" Kiwi exclaimed.

"Hey! White-haired driver!" Gao shouted at the silent girl who was currently sitting boredly in her seat. "Make the train speed up! We have to go faster, or that Nyo Dragon will catch us!"

Sophia merely continued to stare out the window, taking in the sight of a large amount of lava in the volcano.

Gao glanced behind him, past his friends, and out the window. He was able to spot the large Nyo Dragon pursuing them at a quick pace. It had almost reached the bridge!

Then the bridge collapsed. Poor old Nyo Drum! He sat on the edge of the volcano, silently gazing on what would have been his 3:00pm snack. Then, he suddenly remembered that he was of the dragon race and therefore, he ought to have wingzies. Actually, he knew had had wings. So, he spread them and took flight. He soared in the air while the numerous scales on his body shielded him from the rays from the sun that provided vitamin C.

"What!? He can fly, yo!" Tets screamed in dismay.

"Don't worry," Zanya assured his frightened pals. "I always have tricks up my sleeve. And this time, I have – this!" He pulled out a white handkerchief. "Oops, wrong sleeve," he sadly confessed. He reached into his other sleeve and pulled out – an ice cream cone.

Everyone was greatly disappointed by this show of emergency materials, specifically because there was no ice cream included with it. And every second, the Nyo Dragon was catching up with them.

In a panic, Gao launched forward into the front of the train and pushed the lever into super fast speed. The train sped up and sparks were created at its wheels due to the enormous amount of friction.

Then, disaster struck. Davide struck the window, Shido hit the roof, Kyoya hit the road, Sophia hit the "Emergency Brake" button, Terumi hit the wheels, Gremlin hit the box Baks was holding, and Kiri became the Grim Reaper and hit Gao.

"Och!" Gao said, stumbling backwards under the force of the blow. "But I thought you were my Bud after all!"

An eerie grin divided Kiri's distorted half-masked half-covered face into two equally evil sections. "You're wrong Gao, so very wrong! I've gotten stronger :) !" he laughed ridiculously.

Just then, the roof of the train was torn off and thrown into a nearby pumpkin patch by Nyo Drum! He stared longingly at his next meal, examining to see how much he had.

"No, yo!" Tetsuya yelled. "He's gonna eat us!"

Zanya nervously adjusted his glasses. "Don't worry, I heard dragons capture their food and cook it before eating," he calmly reassured his frightened friend.

"How does that help?!" Tets wailed uncontrollably.
