"Hot…." Patty huffs, her face as red as a strawberry as she, Kid and Liz wander through the dry desert, manically, the sun smiles sadistically down at them, cackling as it releases wave upon wave of heat.
"What are we doing in this wasteland Kid? It's hot and sandy and horrible!" Huffing, Liz demands from her Kid garbed in a familiar coal cloak and skeletal mask.
"The story of the runaway express that runs atop the desert without any rails you've heard of it right?" Unfazed, Kid tells the two.
"The famous train in the Sahara that hasn't stopped once in 100 years it's mysterious isn't it? How in the world does it run?" Baffled, Liz asks.
"They say it's run by a demon tool, Arachnophobia is targeting said tool for producing infinite energy in order to prevent them form getting it our mission is to recover it." Kid reports to his weapons.
"Why us?" Liz furrows her brow.
"The runaway express runs at 500m/h over the sound. There's no one else who can manage that but us." Kid informs the two.
"Hey Kid your skin can't be burned by the sun right so why are you wearing that cloak?" Confused, Liz wonders.
"I just feel like it and that's only due to having a repellent constitution that rejects poison even if I dye my hair these three stripes soon return, it's a real burden. If only I inherited mother's constitution things would be going much smoother. Oh over there!" Pained, Kid wails sadly, solemnly, sniffling almost at the fact gesturing to his stripes.
"There's a train station in the middle of the desert?" Shocked, Liz gawks at the sight.
"Come on let's hurry." Unfazed, Kid smiles sliding down from the top of the sandy hill.
"You're high spirited." Amused, Liz smirks at Kid.
"It's been travelling continuously for more than 100 years on a specific route even without rails. It's been running this circuit without even a minute of deviation in its timetable. Hm?" Animatedly, Kid gushes his gold gleaming, glistening at the thought before taking out a piece of paper, the timetable printed on it.
"It's a passenger looks like a kid well it is a sightseeing spot I guess." Liz gathered noting the stranger waiting for the train garbed in a pitch-black cloak.
"Hello, really hot isn't it?" Kid tires to make conversation with the small figure but…
"Yo." Patty tries to greet the stranger.
"Sup." Liz adds as the two are met by still silence.
"Hey Shorty! At least return the greeting!" Angrily, Patty snaps snarling as Liz holds her back.
"Stop it…" Kid sighs at her.
"Chichi…" The figure snickers.
"What was that!? You making fun of me bastard! I'll grind you to bits!" Enraged, Patty snarls seething about to lunge at the figure.
"Looks like Patty's still in a bad mood since we stooped her halfway there are lots of sand pits why not come play with your big sister!" Smoothly, Liz drags her sister over to the sand to distract her.
"Yay!" Easily, Patty changes her tune beginning to play with the sand.
"According to the timetable it should be here soon. The runaway express sounds like fun." Kid says as he waits alongside the stranger.
"There's something suspicious about that kid…" Liz's eyes narrow at the stranger.
"What's going on? At this rate it's going to be behind schedule…I guess it being precisely on time was just a rumour I'm dissapointe-HUH!?" Taken aback, Kid gawks at the sudden black bur shooting out from the sandy shores below where the train shoots out from.
"You're too late Shinigami errand boy looks at this big thing I'm reeling in see ya!" Cackling, the figure on the train cackles garbed in a ruby red leather like suit, a bio suit almost.
"That's an arachnophobia assassin!" Kid gapes at the sight of the figure holding a gun canon of sorts.
"Chichi…" The figure from before shoots out catching up with the train.
"Wait soul release…!?" Kid's eyes widen when the witch leaves behind a tadpole bomb blasting up right in front of Kid.
"BOOM!
"Crap! That witch left a bomb behind…we're falling behind we're going after it!" Fuming, Kid seethes snarling as he declares said fact, summoning his skateboard.
"It looks like a huge worm." Liz points out.
"It disappeared in a blink of an eye." Patty adds.
"You can do your analysis later for now hurry up and transform into guns if we drag our feet the enemy will get away." Angrily, Kid scolds the two.
"Y-Yeah!" Liz and Patty both transform as the three take off.
"GO! GO! GO! There it is!" Patty cheers.
"Kid there's an incoming attack from 3, o'clock." Liz points out as the group catch up to the train.
"Got it!" Kid aims and fires at the window.
"What was that!?" Alarmed, the assassin gasps at the shard shatters of glass unaware of the mouse witch on top.
"Chichichi!" The witch fires out familiar tadpole bombs, creating a smokescreen swarming surrounding the train.
"Alright let's use the smoke as cover and get closer to the train." Kid tells the guys.
"Kid the train's turning right!" Patty calls out as it clashes against his board.
"Shit-Shit! Talk about runaway. We have to be careful of attacks from above and from the side if we're going to catch that runaway expression. Patty can I ask a favour?" Frowning, Kid curses at the sparks spewing out as he is thrown aback by the brute force of the train.
"Sure!" Patty returns to her human form, her legs wrapped around Kid as she holds her sister in her gun form.
"I just have to get that enemy bastard right?" Patty smirks smugly.
"I'm counting on you." Kid tells her.
"Die! C'mon get out of here! There he is! Die poleman!" Patty cackles firing wildly, her features darkening as she fires wildly at the scared assassins, having thrown himself to the floor from the boisterous barrage of soul wavelength bullets.
"360 degree kickflip!" Kid declares as he flips making the startled Patty scream from the sudden motion.
"That was sweet!" Oblivious, Kid's gold gleam, glisten at the trick as he lands.
"What are you doing Kid!? Skateboard tricks at a time like this!? Patty's being swing around!" Angrily, Liz barks at Kid as Patty ahs swirls in her eyes being dragged by the board now flailing with the wind.
"Idiot! There's this awesome hill here! It'd be an insult to this desert not to do a trick or two! There's this awesome hill coming uo, Patty do a no hander!" Huffing, Kid calls out to her as they flip high into the air.
"No Hander!" Patty bellows hands stretched out as she spins.
"36000 degree (10 rotation)" Kid adds animatedly as he does said trick.
"What the hell are they doing?" Lost, the assassin furrows his brow at the strange sight before them.
"Whoa! I'm just a target if I stay on the roof. There he is!" Kid curses after Patty returns to her gun form just as Kid flips high into the air on top of the train only to be fired by a familiar witch making Kid curse as he swings himself into the train to take cover.
"You're quick skater kid but this is goodbye. Those rear cars are toast. I won't else anyone else ear the boiler room! The demon tool is mine!" The assassin aims his gun at him greeting him just as Kid dives down to take cover.
"That bastard! He sure is using a lot of firepower inside a train car like this…" Huffing, Kid grumbles taking cover scowling at the blast barrage as the assassin goes on ahead.
"The demon tool finally the eternal spring it's…" Giddy, the Assassin beams brightly at the sight of the instrument.
"Mine!" Maddened, Kid lunges at the male diving down to fire his blast at the assassins swiftly silencing him, defeating him.
"Ark! The...demon tool…belongs to lady Arachne." Anguished, the assassin exclaims.
"So this is the objective, with this the runaway express will go to sleep to…" Kid gathers brow furrowed.
"You Shibusen kids don't know anything that demon tool is the work of the great sorcerer Eibon!" Enraged, the assassin angrily proclaims.
"Evil demon tool disgusting…wait Eibon that loser, he's evil filth!" Furious, Kid snaps snarling.
"Eibon and Shinigami are the same." Smugly, the assassin cackles.
"You're going to mock my father!?" Fuming, Kid seethes snarling at the sheer nerve of this nobody.
"Wait you're…Lord Death's kid!? Fine I'll show you something interesting." Open the box the eternal spring was stuck into." The assassin tells Kid.
"The box are you saying there's something in here?" Kid's gold glare at the assassin.
"The demon tool isn't just the spring it's a set." He tells Kid who slowly but surely complies, removing the lid of the lock, where his hues widen when seeing said sight before him.
"This is…Eibon and…Death? There's no mistaking it that is my father's handwriting why is his signature on a demon tool like this? Does mother know?" Kid ponders shocked at the sight of both Eibon and his father's signature.
"What is it Kid?" Concerned, Liz asks as Kid gawks staring at the signature of his father and this Eibon figure.
"What the hell is this!? What the hell does this mean!? What the!? It's…" Baffled, Kid begins but falters from the sudden rope darting down as a helicopter reveals itself, Sid sliding down as next thing Kid knew…
"The Africa branch's recovery squad and I will take care of the rest…you guys take a rest." Coldly, Sid tells the trio smiling eager to return back home to the party Kid had promised unaware of Kid's grave grim expression, bowing his head as he lingers while the other two leave. Sid silently stares down at the tool, no words being shared between the two. Kid sighs giving up knowing a lost battle as he leaves, returning back to the academy.
