STORY
Village, Mexico, September 1897
The train shot into the village at speed. It would not stop and could not be reached. With a determined snarl, Reed pushed himself to run faster. The other two were lagging behind. Now running parallel with the tracks, he did not flinch as the engine buffeted him. Glancing behind, he say and opening and did not think twice. He launched himself sideways and into the compartment.
Adessi, feeling the residual strength of his transformation, hauled Kyle off of his feet and threw him forward into the compartment. Reed’s face appeared.
“I’m losing energy!” shouted Adessi over the roar of the wind and the engine.
“Grab my hand and we’ll pull you in,” Reed shouted back. “Or rather... I’ll pull you in, Kyle has been knocked out.” Reed stretched out his hand, and latched onto Adessi’s wrist. With what felt like a herculean effort, he managed to pull Adessi into the compartment with them.
Both men fell back, panting. Their compartment was completely empty, save for the supine inanimate form of their temporary companion.
“He need to get that condition checked up... always losing consciousness like that,” commented Adessi.
“Hmm, at least it gives us time to plan.”
“How do you intend to do that?”
“First things first; we’re heading in the same direction as the others, so hopefully, we’ll end up in the same place. Logically speaking of course.”
“You seem to think that our travelling believes in logic,” answered Adessi.
“You’re right. Well, let’s at least try to help ourselves out for the current situation. Do you know any Spanish?”
“Not one bit... and as far as I see it, we should find some better place than this to travel to. I say we find the others and travel. In the mean time, I’m going to recoup some energy. Wake me up if anything interesting happens.” Adessi curled up in a corner and started to snore.
Reed looked around. The compartment was not completely empty. Two crates were stacked against the back wall. A explosives sign was painted on both of them.
“Ay ay, que explosives en el train, pericoloso,” muttered Reed, “No quiero los explosive crates.” He approached them nonetheless.

No sooner had the cry of “ATTACK” been called, than Him shot like a rocket towards the controller.
“Ohhh boy,” chuckled Zed, “That poor soul should not have touched Him’s sombrero.”
Him’s pushed off from the ground, heading, arms stretched out, towards the controller. What Zed and Slade saw lasted but two seconds : Him grabbed onto the controller’s left arm, rotating, abducting and extending his shoulder past 100 degrees. That, coupled with the supination of the arm, ripped the clavicle from the acriminon process, and ripped the arm clean off the controller. In the same movement, Him slashed the detached arm back down onto its previous owner, knocking him to the ground. With a luxurious swan dive, Him grabbed the sombrero off the falling man and landed gracefully on his feet.
Between shock, awe, and disgust, Zed sprinted forwards under covering fire from Slade. The two remaining thugs dived for safe refuge behind a cart. Zed scooped up the little man, and sprinted off down a side-alley. Slade rolled to the side, avoiding a riposte volley from their enemies, and stopped around the corner of another alley.
“Three on two... this should not be too much of a hassle,” he thought to himself. He looked back around the corner just in time to see reinforcements arriving to aid the thugs.
“Three on seven... this might be slightly more difficult...”

Reed, Adessi and Kyle manage in extremis to jump onto the train. Reed sees two explosives crates.
The contoller, having made the mistake of taking Him's sombrero, gets his arm ripped off by the latter. Zed scoops Him up and runs into an alley. Slade does the same, into a different one. Reinforcements arrive and the thugs now number seven.
