zachycards: Hello fellow reader, and welcome to the next chapter of Iron Wills And Nerves Of Steel. Here is the disclaimer, I do not own anything in this fanfic, except for my 3 self insert original characters, and also the plot. I also do not own the rights to Sailor Moon, Wedding Peach, CardCaptors, A Certain Scientific Railgun, the show Numb3rs, or the movie Unstoppable. They will always belong to their respective owners. And so, now that the disclaimer has been said, it is now time to move on to the 10th chapter. If you are all not a fan of me including either of these forms of media, simply leave me a review telling me so, and I will happily take these two train related forms of media out. All you have to do, is put some effort in, and leave me a review and tell me. Its as simple as that.


Chapter 10: Stopping 777 And Bluebells Revival


Location: On Board AWVR 1206 Just Pulling Out Of The Zinc Plant With Our Long Cut Of Freight Cars After I/Will Colson Had Cut In 5 Too Many, Just Entering The Rip Track, And Approaching Stanton Curve Later On

Time: Over The Course Of Several Hours


Ok, do you remember watching the 2010 Tony Scott directed movie Unstoppable? Well, if you think watching it is crazy, try using your knowledge of the movie to make sure you don't look out of place while you work your way through the actual events of it. And only having spotty knowledge of the movie, having watched it probably about a few years back, I was beginning to see why I had never applied to work for the railroad.

But, due to my experience, seeing as how I had been put in the body of conductor Will Colson, I was seeming to fair ok for the time being. At least, so I would hope. And a little later on, as 1206 approached the rip track, and as the breaks were applied early, so that we wouldn't head in hot and just tear right off the track, as Frank Barnes said. And once AWVR 777 and its train, had raced by at 75 mph, tearing through the last car of our train, and splintering it to pieces. I just knew, that from my knowledge of the movie, even though it was spotty, that my problems, were far from over.


A little later on, while having successfully coupled 1206 to the last car of 777's train, and suffering a badly injured foot in the process from the couplers slamming and coupling together. I managed to find my way back into the cab. And once we had managed to get the speed of the train down to under 50 mph, that is until it was discovered that 777's consist was far too heavy, and all we were doing, was being dragged.

It was then, that from my knowledge of the movie, that I suggested that we use the handbrakes on 777's freight cars, in an effort to act as dead weight, once the brakes had locked their wheels, to slow the train down. And once several of the freight cars handbrakes had been applied manually by Frank Barnes, the train dropped down to as low as 34 mph. But unfortunately, I had decided, since I was in the engineer's seat, to push the brake lever back one notch too far..

This of course led to 1206's engine blocks overheating, and the brakes going out on 1206 completely.

"Frank! We just lost our brakes! Our engine blocks overheated!" I said to him over the radio.

"Okay, grab hold of that independent, I'll tell you when!" Frank responded back, as I took hold of 1206's independent brake lever, just as the train entered the curve at Stanton.

"Will, hit that independent! Hit that independent as hard as you can!" Frank said over the radio. To which I happily obliged, taking 1206's independent brake, and literally slamming it to the right as hard as I possibly could.

"Hit it, hit it again!" Frank said over the radio.

And once again, I shifted 1206's independent brake to the left, before slamming it to the right again as hard as I possibly could. And, because I had to follow the movie's script to the letter, I shifted 1206's independent brake to the left one final time, and then slammed it to the right one final time.

And, from my knowledge of the movie, three slams of the independent brake, was enough to allow the train to make it through the Stanton curve. However, I knew that there was one last step that needed to be done, before 777 could be brought safely to a stop.

And sure enough, as if on cue, a red pickup truck came rushing up the road right alongside 1206.

And after asking Connie Hooper on the radio if the truck was for us. Since I once again didn't want to look like I was out of place.

I limped out of the front cab door of 1206, and then leaped into the bed of the red pickup truck.

And after a quick drive to the front of 777. And a little coaxing from Ned to jump, I just went ahead and did it. And man, did it hurt.

But, I managed to get enough upper body strength to make it into the cab of 777. And got to the controls, and then managed to bring the 39 car train to a stop.


It was once this had been done, that everything around me got very bright, and was then replaced by darkness,

but I was no longer Will Colson, in fact, I was back in my armor clad Angel Bluebell form, sword and all.

But, this endless void looked familiar to me, and the next thing that happened confirmed my suspicion of this.

"Ah Zachy boy, how nice it is to see you again, tell me, how did you enjoy your adventure in those two worlds, are you ready to go back and continue what you started in Academy City?" An all too familiar disembodied voice said from out of the void.

"Ok, seriously, that was you?! What is the matter with you? Did you ever hear of consistency?!" I asked, as a tickmark found its way onto one side of my face.

"Oh come come now Zachy boy, don't tell me that you didn't enjoy yourself?" The disembodied voice asked me with an amount of sass to match Maximilian Pegasus from Yugioh.

"That's not the point and you know it!" I said, as the tickmark on one side of my face got larger.


And it was at that point, that the scene around me got very bright, and then it was replaced by the sound of a familiar female voice crying.

"sis, please wake up, you're stronger then this, you can't die!" Wedding Peach cried out over my/Angel Bluebell's lifeless body, as streams of tears rolled down her face, as it also happened to be the case for Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia as well.

They really did care for me/Angel Bluebell after all. I mean, wouldn't you if one of your dear comrades and life long friends supposedly received a life ending injury. And then they fell to the ground, and then didn't move for several minutes.

It was while all four of them were crying, that something unexpected happened, the golden chest plate on my/Angel Bluebell's battle outfit, started to glow. Which not surprisingly, snapped the four love angels out of their crying fits. And about a second later, not only had the five petal bluebell emblem on my/Angel Bluebell's chest plate somehow, mended itself.

But my eyes had now returned to being their vibrant light blue, once again full of emotion. I/Angel Bluebell, then shot up from my position of laying down on the ground, catching the other four love angels by surprise.

"Finally, back where I am supposed to be. And wouldn't you know it sis, I've had an adventure and a half" I said as a small smile found its way across my elegant female face.

It was then that Wedding Peach quickly brought me/Angel Bluebell into a very tight was then that Wedding Peach quickly brought me/Angel Bluebell into a very tight embrace.

"Sis, we all thought that we'd lost you!" Wedding Peach said as tears started to well up in her eyes.

I/Angel Bluebell, then brought Wedding Peach's face to meet mine, "sis, you need to realize something" I said, as I placed my right hand on her right shoulder pad, since my left hand still held my Sword of Bluebell tightly in its grasp.

"I was never going to leave your side, not without a fight. I mean, that is what the five of us do, we fight together through our teamwork and our unbreakable bonds, even to our last breath if necessary" I said, giving her a small smile, to which Wedding Peach returned it a second later, as a look of determination then found its way onto my face.

"And sis, you can best believe, that Reinedevila is going to pay, for what she did to me" I said, as just like what had happened with Joker more then a year ago, a huge wave of anger and rage, started to wash over me.

But then, something unexpected happened, Wedding Peach decided to interject.

"Sis, I think you should let all of us help you handle her, I think you exhausted your powers enough the last time you tried using that finishing attack of yours" Wedding Peach said, with a look of concern on her face.

"Oh, right sis, how could I forget, I wouldn't want to make that mistake again" I said as a small smile found its way onto my face.

And with those final words exchanged between us. Wedding Peach, me/Angel Bluebell, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia, once again spread out the angel wings on our backs, And once again, we took off skyward, and off to make Reindevila pay dearly for being dumb enough to attack Wedding Peach, and being more dumb enough to nearly kill me/Angel Bluebll, and not making sure, that I was completely dead.
