Conductor: We'll be leaving to Tundra Country in 13 minutes! Don't forget to put your bags in the bunkers! Once we leave, we don't stop unless it's an emergency!
[Some of the passengers are putting their bags in the bunker rooms.]
Indus: Leave the bags to me! (grabs all the bags) I can carry it to the bunkers while you all can sit and relax!
Sylvester: Some of us aren't fragile you know?!
Mera: Excuse me! My epithet makes me fragile!
Sylvester: I'm so~ sorry about that.
Mera: That was sarcasm.
Sylvester: You can tell?
Mera: (groans angerly) Whatever! I'm gonna rest on the bed in the bottom bunk!
[She storms off to the bunkers to get some sleep.]
Sylvester: Sweet dreams...
Mera (voice): Shut up! Not another word!
Sylvester: (chuckles teasingly)

Giovanni's Voice: Episode 3: Train Frenzy! (laughs evilly)
-Giovanni-
Zora: Hiya, pinky!
Giovanni: (shrieks) The cowgirl!
Zora: I have a name you know? It's Zora. Nice to meet you again.
Giovanni: What are you doing here?!
Zora: I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Giovanni: Me and my minions are on vacation! We're just heading to the Tundra Country for relaxation and fun!
Zora: Oh I see. Well I'm here on official bounty hunting business. Involving a particular amulet.
Giovanni: You're after the Arsene Amulet?!
Zora: Of course. Boss's giving me a second chance. So I'm heading to Tundra to get it back.
Giovanni: Fat chance! We're gonna get that amulet before you!
[Giovanni covers his mouth when he realized what he had said.]
Zora: So that's what is it. You're gonna get the amulet before me? Ha! That won't happen.
Giovanni: Oh really?! Then let's make a bet! Whoever gets the amulet first the loser will have to do whatever the winner says!
Zora: You're on, pinky. I'll take up that bet. (walks away) But be careful. I've heard Tundra Country is full of wild creatures who are willing to eat anyone who comes to their territory.
Giovanni: I ain't scared of wild animals! You'll see! (groans) Oh great... Why me and my big mouth? (sighs) No matter. That Zora chick isn't going to get that amulet. I'm sure of it.
[He hears the door open and he turns. He sees Molly wearing her official Giovanni and His Boys uniform. Her bear hoodie is over the dress.]
Molly: How does it look?
Giovanni: (squeals happily) Beartrap, you... look... adorable~! I knew my choice was right! (picks her up and twirls her around) You're like a teddy bear! I can't even handle this much cuteness! (starts crying happily)
Molly: Boss, please don't cry.
Giovanni: These are happy tears! I gotta show you to the other minions! They're gonna love it!
Molly: Okay. But first, please put me down.
Giovanni: Sure thing. (puts Molly down) Let's head back to the others. (starts walking)
Molly: Hey boss?
Giovanni: Yes Bear Trap?
Molly: Who were you yelling at? And who is Zora?
Giovanni: Just some girl I met at Redwood Run. But you must be careful around her.
Molly: Is she dangerous?
Giovanni: She pointed her pistol at me! I can never forgive someone like that!
Molly: I see... I'll try not to approach her.
Giovanni: I was gonna tell you that anyways. But yes. That chick is evil and I can't let you see her.
Molly: Aren't you evil?
Giovanni: There's a difference! I care for my minions! She only cares about herself!
Molly: Oh yeah. You're secretly nice.
Giovanni: Yes I am. But don't tell them yet.
Molly: They won't get it. I know.
[Eyecatch]
Zora: Epithet Erased! Yee-haw!
[Eyecatch]
Giovanni: Epithet Erased...
[The others are sitting down on the train seats as the train starts moving.]
Sylvester: So what's the plan once we arrive at Tundra?
Percy: First, we'll have to get some hotel rooms in its capital and settle in. Second, we'll need to pay a visit to a local. Someone who knows this area better then all of us. Third, we'll immediately start searching for the Arsene Amulet. Once we find the amulet, we'll be heading straight home to Sweet Jazz City and destroy it immediately.
Ramsey: That sounds like a clean-cut plan. But~ I have some worries.
Percy: Please explain.
Ramsey: What if someone else steals the amulet like that mysterious person?
Percy: Then we'll have to arrest that person as well.
Ramsey: Oh okay. But what if they steal our epithets?
Percy: I have my sword. So I'll defeat that thief and return the epithets to the rightful owners.
Sylvester: I hope my epithet doesn't get stolen again. (shivers) Still have nightmares about that.
Percy: Do not worry. We'll definitely get that amulet before anyone else gets hurt. A dangerous artifact like that can spell disaster.
Ramsey: Yeah! Let's destroy that thing once and for all! Nobody should have it!
Percy: Exactly. I'm glad you feel the same way.
Ramsey: Y-Yeah~ same way...
Ben: Did we bring some money? 'Cause I was planning on getting some souvenirs.
Spike: I have 20 dollars. (takes out money)
Dark Star: (takes out money) 15.
Fred: (takes out money) I have 25 dollars.
Flamethrower: (takes out money) 30!
Crusher: (takes out money) I got 45.
Ben: (takes out money) And I only have 10.
Flamethrower: Why 10?
Ben: I don't know! I was in a hurry and I grab 10 dollars!
Spike: Maybe you should've woken up way earlier, Ben.
Ben: I couldn't!
Fred: Hey let's not argue. We promise boss we won't fight.
Dark Star: Oh yeah! How could we forget?!
Spike: Speaking of boss, shouldn't he and Bear Trap come back by now?
[On cue, Giovanni shouts out to his minions.]
Giovanni: We're back, my loyal minions! Sorry for the wait. I hope you weren't impatient.
Fred: Not at all! (looks at Molly) And also, aw~ she's so cute!
Giovanni: I know right?! Isn't she EVILLY CUTE?!
Flamethrower: She definitely is!
Spike: Totally! She looks like a teddy bear!
Ben: Can I take some pictures of you?!
Molly: Uh...
Giovanni: If you don't want to, you don't have to. Just say what's on your mind. Don't be afraid to speak up.
Molly: (breathes out) I don't mind you taking pictures. Just don't go overboard. Okay?
[They nodded and take out their cellphones. They were taking pictures of Molly as if she was a famous celebrity.]
Sylvester: (sighs)
Giovanni: What's wrong, Sheep Boy? Loss of words?
Sylvester: Don't call me that.
Giovanni: (scoffs) Whatever you say, Mr. Grumpy.
[Eyecatch]
Sylvester: Epithet Erased.
[Eyecatch]
Rick Shades: E-E-Epithet E-Erased.
-Night-
[After eating dinner, everyone heads to the bunkers area of the train to sleep for the night. Zora and Rick are the only ones to remain in the dining cart.]
Zora: That was some mighty meal.
Rick: S-Sure was.
Zora: So Rick, I wanna ask you. Are you a mundie or an Inscribed?
Rick: I guess I'm an Inscribed?
Zora: You guess?
Rick: I lived in the Ocean Country for most of my life.
Zora: I see... Well you got nothing to worry about. Once I get my hands on that amulet, everyone who are Inscribed will become a Mundie. Then everything will be back to normal.
Rick: Why?
Zora: You see, back in my day, we focus more on how skilled people are. But these days? Skill don't matter anymore! You can train your whole life and be the best 'you' you can be... just to get beat by some shmo born with a superpower! That's why I wanna get rid of these things! You shouldn't get to be strong just 'cause you're lucky.
Rick: Oh. I can see your point.
Zora: Thank you for understanding! But anyways, you wanna know my epithet?
Rick: Sure...
Zora: Okay then. (clears her throat) My epithet is Sundial. It allows me to dial things forwards and backwards in any process which includes gravity, inertia, the cycle of the sun, and even a person's lifespan. I can make you turn into an old man that can't fight. Or maybe a baby who can't fight. It has a side effect though. I'm pretty much immortal. All I have to do is slow my aging process or just turn the dial back a few years. So physically, I can't die from old age.
Rick: That's pretty impressive.
Zora: Yeah... I know... But still, I want things to be back to where it was before these powers even manifested. Anyways, what about you?
Rick: Well~ my epithet is called Companion. It allows me to enhance other Inscribed people with the power of friendship. In order to activate it, I must become friends with someone.
{Rick Shades
Companion
Can enhance other Inscribed with the power of friendship.
Stamina: 2 stars
Proficiency: 3 stars
Creativity: 2 stars}
Zora: That sounds kinda interesting. Hm... If I say we could be friends, then you can use your powers?
Rick: That's correct.
Zora: Then alright. I'll be your friend. I could use the help because there are other people who wants the Arsene Amulet.
Rick: What's so special about a s-s-s-stupid amulet?
Zora: Seems like you don't know about this amulet. Let me explain. You see, the creator of the Arsene Amulet had an epithet called Copycat. It allows someone to steal other people's epithets and use it against them. Some Inscribed can put their epithets in an object. But back to the amulet, that kind of power is what people are willing to risk it for. Using its power for various purposes. I'm just doing it for the job. But that pinky wants to destroy it. I can't let that happen. So~ maybe you could use that epithet to help me out.
Rick: How?
Zora: Show me what you can really do.
Rick: Well~ alright.
Zora: Good. (chuckles evilly to herself)
