R&R longer note at the end

Lumina watched from afar as Lightning stood on the train platform, she hadn't been able to forget her face, the smell of her perfume, the colour of her long hair. As the train pulled Lightning slowly took one look around boarding it near the back as Lumina hopped on the front making sure not to be seen.

The train slowly lurched as it rumbled into life rocking slightly as it ran along the tracks headed for Wildlands, Lumina swung her legs a little sitting on the seat as a mischievous grin played at her lips. Slowly she stood looking down the train, she knew which carriage Lightning was in and figured it wouldn't take her long to reach her position. It was time to have some fun, she closed her eyes as wisps of chaos began to float up from the ground concentrating Lumina used her power of control of the chaos stream to engulf the whole train into her safe space.

Lightning sat on the hard train seat arms folded tapping her foot impatiently as the train slowly trudged forward along the tracks, it was a few moments before Lightning realised something wasn't right as the train shuddered violently to a stop throwing her forward off the seat.

Quickly putting her hands out she managed to break her fall a little as her clear blue eyes darted around looking for the cause, she slowly got up looking out the window to her left running forward placing her hand on the window staring it the pitch black.

Stepping back Lightning attempted to withdraw her blade unsuccessfully feeling a force preventing it somehow, she pulled harder before what sounded like the trains announcement system crackled into life.

"It's pointless to try" A girl's voice came through the speakers as Lightning looked around feeling like she recognised it from somewhere unable to truly pinpoint where.

"What's going on here?" Lightning asked unsure if the owner of the voice would even hear her.

"It's a game" the voice responded to her question in a playful tone "I'm in the very front carriage of this train, if you make it here then I'll let you out of the chaos we are currently residing it. The rules are you have to do it without the use of your weapons or shields, I guess since some of my chaos friends are swarming the carriages you can use magic to defend yourself. I'll be waiting". The speakers cut out after the girl was finished explaining as Lightning cursed under her breathe unsure how she let herself get caught in a trap this simple, taking a deep breath she turned her gaze to the next carriage.

"Well, best get going" Lightning muttered to herself as she made her trip to the location of the voice.

Lumina chuckled to herself watching through the chaos stream as the saviour battled wave after wave of chaos beasts not showing any signs of stopping soon, clicking her thin fingers she decided to really test the taller woman by summoning a large two headed dog watching as she struggled for a few moments before overcoming.

Slowly Lumina felt her heart beating a little faster knowing Lightning was coming to see her. She couldn't explain what the feeling was, caution? Fear? Excitement? Whatever it was Lumina needed to know and she knew this woman was her ticket to finding an answer.

A few more moments passed a playful smile on Lumina's lips as she looked up, Lightning was inches from the door now as she stood waiting, she was curious how the older woman would react but it didn't matter. She still had one ace up her sleeve and she was willing to play it in an attempt to get what she wanted.

Beginning to feel exhausted Lightning pushed open the door to the final train carriage, her stamina was nearing its limit as was her magical power. As she pushed the door open she was relieved to see it was mostly empty, her eyes scanned the carriage looking for anything that was looking to ambush her.

As she looked around her clear blue eyes drifted down seeing the figure of a small girl stood up grinning at her, she shook her head slightly as her eyes began to focus a little more on the girls features. Her black dress, her pink hair. She knew this girl and felt a surge of fury burn at her insides as she realised who it was.

"You little brat!" She yelled as she ran forward ready to strike the girl she now knew to be Lumina, as she got closer however Lumina raised her hand muttering something as long wisps of chaos began to shoot in her direction wrapping themselves around her wrists and ankles holding her in place like steel chains.

"Now that wasn't very nice" Lumina smiled her arms behind her back now as she slowly skipped over to Lightning who began pulling at the chains in vain.

"Let me go" She said a fury in her eyes as she glared at Lumina who stared back.

"Soon, first of all I want to congratulate you on surviving" Lumina said beginning to circle her in the tight space "Now however is your final challenge". Lightning continued to struggle not really listening to what she was saying, she stopped when she felt Lumina's breath on her left ear, her voice barely audible.

"I want you to take me on a date in the Wildlands" Lumina whispered, Lightning turned her head to look at her confused by the girl's request.

"What?" She asked looking at the now grinning form of Lumina.

What a train ride huh? Well Lightning got some exercise at least but I figured it was time to start to implant some of those feelings of Lumina's on Lightning so in the next chapter we'll see how Lightning handles a date with a girl who tried to kill her

Thank you so much for reading and I'll see you all in the next chapter
