I can't believe I've reached the 50th chapter of this fanfic! Thank you so much for supporting this fanfic even with the delays between chapter uploads. Now some of the Marémon in this chapter are references to members of Silver Sable's Wild Pack, namely Battlestar, Paladin, and Puma. Hope that clarifies things!

Episode 50: Forced Stop in Xandar City!

As the passengers got down on their knees, Ar-I's monitor glowed so bright that it blinded everyone in the train car. This was followed by an explosion and a rush of air being let in. Peter opened his eyes and saw a hole in the car's roof that was singed on the edges. On top of that, Ar-I and White Wolf were gone.

"That wretched computer used Energy Blast to get away," Silvija realized, staring up at the hole. "We mustn't let him and his accomplice leave. Move out, Wild Pack!"

Silsaber then jumped up through the hole with Silvija following behind. The men in dark-gray military uniforms summoned Marémon from their PDBs and followed Silvija. One Marémon was a humanoid with shield-like gauntlets and a star-shaped mark on its chest, the second was a frog covered in purple padded armor, while the third resembled a bipedal mountain lion.

"Looks like the Wild Pack has got some heavy-hitting Marémon in their pockets," MJ said, consulting her MarGuide. "The one with the star-shaped mark is a Balesta, the purple-armored frog is a Palatoad, and the walking cat is a Pyrma."

"Yeah, those Marémon aren't a joke to deal with — or so I've heard," Peter said and sighed. "I wonder why Silvija wasn't honest with us."

"She probably didn't want to blow her civilian cover, like Natasha," Thor guessed and looked down at Rumlow, who was still writhing in pain. "What's going to happen to him?"

"This double-crossing roach is going to be taken to the SHIELD Station in Xandar City, which is the next stop on this train line," Natasha said and handcuffed Rumlow.


Once the train pulled up at the station in Xandar City, everyone was ordered off the train by the police, whom Natasha called earlier to help her escort Rumlow to the SHIELD Station. The police also questioned the passengers, with medical workers checking everyone to make sure they were okay. Luckily, there were no serious injuries reported.

Xandar City itself was a beautiful metropolis full of buildings that looked like they were straight out of a science-fiction book and canals filtering water from the inland sea the city was built on top of that had green lanes with trees growing around. There were also a lot of Extraterrestrials that had immigrated from other planets outside of the Solar System. While Peter stared at the city in awe, he noticed the platinum blonde-haired girl he met in the viewing car being grabbed by a stout man with an unusually flat head. He was too far away to hear what they were saying, but it was clear the platinum-haired girl wanted to get away from the flat-headed man. So Peter deliberately stumbled over to them and fell down in the space between the two.

"I'm so sorry," Peter said, pretending to apologize as he got up. "My feet must have slipped."

"Are you okay?" Thor asked, having followed Peter with MJ close behind. He then looked between the platinum-haired girl and the flat-headed man. "Did either of you get hurt?"

"We're fine," the platinum-haired girl said. "Thanks for asking."

"You should watch where you're going, boy," the flat-headed man said to Peter.

"He said he was sorry," the platinum-haired girl said. "Let it go."

"Excuse me," Natasha said, briefly leaving the policemen who were dragging Rumlow to the nearest police car. "Thor, I found this in Rumlow's possession. I think you should hold onto it while I take care of Rumlow."

From her coat pocket, Natasha briefly put something in Thor's hand before running back over to the police. Thor opened his palm, and a bright yellow glow emanated from the object causing him to tuck it into his vest pocket. Meanwhile, the flat-headed man seemed interested while the platinum-haired girl looked surprised.

"I'll talk to you later," the flat-headed man said to the platinum-haired girl as he walked away. "But you haven't seen the last of me."

Once he was gone, the platinum-haired girl sighed.

"Who was that guy?" Peter asked. "And why did he threaten you like that?"

"He wants something I have, but I already gave it to him," the platinum-haired girl answered.

"Sounds like a crazy guy to me," MJ said. "Maybe you should tell the policemen about him."

The platinum-haired girl shook her head. "If the police get involved, it will not be good for me."

"How come?" Thor asked.

"Because I'm Felicia Hardy, daughter of Walter Hardy," replied the platinum-haired girl.

Peter's eyes widened. "The infamous cat burglar?"

"Yes," Felicia reluctantly nodded. "And since he was arrested, he's been a shadow over my life. So if I get in trouble, it won't make me look good because of who I'm related to."

"Can you at least tell us who that guy was?" MJ asked. "He seemed to know you."

"I did a job for him recently, though he never gave me his real name," Felicia said. "He told me to call him 'Mr. H' during our personal interactions and phone conversations."

"That does sound shady," Thor responded, and put a hand on Felicia's shoulder in a comforting gesture. "Fortunately, you're among friends and we will do everything in our power to help you if you're in trouble."

"You don't need to go that far, Thor," MJ objected before holding up her phone to Felicia. "But maybe we should exchange phone numbers so you can call us if that Mr. H guy tries anything to harm you."

"I like that idea," Felicia smiled, looking at Peter. "After all, it's nice to have friends you can call on for a favor or two."
