STORY
Mexico City, Mexico, September 1897
The sun beat down upon the stand-off. Slade and Zed, standing ground, faced by three thugs. Him, neck pushed upon a blade. Weapons drawn.
“Hnnnnnnnggggg,” squeezed Him, as he scrunched his face up, flushing it red. “HHHHANNNGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHUH.”
Slade and Zed took a step back. They knew all too well that Him was prone to doing unexpected things. Their belief was solidified as, with a bang, Him expelled all of his belongings in every direction and leapt into the air. With a graceful half somersault, he stretched out his arms above his head and span straight into the ground. The ground shook as the short man travelled to his intended destination. The thugs followed the trail of raised dirt, stamping around in an attempt to stop their hostage from getting away.
“Chuck us your pendant,” shouted Slade. “So they don’t get to it.”
“You cannot take off your pendant,” replied Zed. We’re stuck with them.
Slade growled, and raised his weapon. “This is your last chance ! Stop moving or we will be forced to attack !”
The thugs rounded on the pair, bearing arms. Him’s dirt trail rocketed towards them and he flew out of the ground, landing gently in front of his companions. He stared longingly at his sombrero which was no sitting in the dust not too far away.
Zed, not taking any risks, readied his revolver and took a shot at the controller. The bullet ripped into his right shoulder, propelling him backwards. With a shriek of pain, the wounded controller picked up Him sombrero, and placed it onto his head.
“ATTACK !” he shouted

Village, Mexico, September 1897
The tree men were back in the main street where they had emerged from a basement. So very long ago, it felt. Reed eyed Adessi with some suspicion, remembering the eyes, and the screams... and the fear.
“I say we try and find the others,” he said, finally. “They jumped on a train, chasing after Him, so I elect we wait for the next one heading in that direction and hop on.”
“No objections from me,” replied Adessi. “I could do with a rest.”
Kyle nodded his approval. “That direction is Mexico City. Not the best place to be if you are foreign, but I think a group of six would be generally left alone.”
“Let’s hope a group of three that includes a sombrero-wearing chap will also be left alone.”
“Would it not be quicker to just use our pendants to travel?” asked Adessi.
Reed pondered the matter. After a brief moment, he replied, “We have never tried travelling whilst far apart from one another. I do not know if we would all land together or still far apart. Imagine if we land on a remote island, given that we press the pendant, and the rest land a hundred miles away in the middle of the ocean?”
Adessi gave a non-committal grunt. “I say we should consider taking that chance. I mean, how likely is it that we find the others in a huge city?”
Their conversation was cut short by the shrill whistle of a distant train.
“Well that was conveniently quick,” commented Kyle, as the three ran towards the tracks. The long, red cargo train was rapidly approaching and was seemingly not going to stop.
“We’ll have to run and jump,” shouted Reed.
The train hurtled into the village.

The train hurtled into the village.
Him ejects his equipment and flees back to his companions. Zed shoots the contoller, severly injuring him. The battle continues.
The trio in the village decide to catch the next train to see if they can find their companions. Adessi suggests simply transporting to the next location.
