The Spectrum plowed on through space, pretty calmly, until it rocked from side to side under a shot. The passangers stumbled in all directions and the train was hit again. The gang on the floor of the passanger car looked on as, in a variety of colors of beams of light, and one noxious green cloud, a group of noseless demons of all skin colors, and one skull headed robot in a blue cloak, appeared.
"Just who are you?" Sapphire asked.
An elderly demon at the front smirked, twisting his moustache Snidley Whiplash style. "Young lady, we are the 'oppisition' on this venture you have undertaken."
The red skinned, gold eyed demon, known as Nictem, half laughed. "We already have the first Creation's Weapon, we're here to turn you about. You have no chance of stopping us!"
"So..who are you people?" Mazzic asked, point blanc.
The older fellow sneered. "We, human mortal, are the illustrious Twilighter Council." This produced several gasps, and growls of anger, which the demons seem to like. The older one, the leader it seemed, continued. "Allow us to introduce ourselves.." he said, and one by one, the members stepped forward and identified by themselves.

Malachai snickered, and the Spectrum crew glared. The Twilighters by the crew, NecronimusII by Ratch. The robot bounty hunter clenched his fists, steam pouring out of his vents. "So yer back, brother?"
NecronimusII grinned a bit. "Yes, dear Havoc, you might be the elder, but I am the more powerful now. Back and better then ever."
Kaye glared. "So you're the kind of demons who go around giving us a bad name?"
Fahna smiled seductively. "Yes, honey, we tend to be. We just wish you all'd give up this silly quest"
Orson cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Yes, you're getting quite persistant with that. Why not take a breather and just wait for the inevitable? Enjoy your time."
Kaye, Ratch, the yoshies, and the other nonhumans present glared.
Orson looked at them. "Look at the bright side; you all shall be spared."
Ratch stepped forward, waving a hand. "I kinda like the humans, and I'm glad Havering is dead and gone, and hell if I'm gonna let you scrubs stop us from keepin him dead."
Nictem sneered cockily. "Noble sentiment, but we're not going to stop either!" He held out a hand, and a golden blast struck 6400, then another Saph, and sent them crashing into the back wall, sliding down it and landing half unconscious on the floor. NecronimusII stepped forward and elbowed Rath hard in the throat, then slammed a fist into his gut, denting him a bit. He groaned and fell over, holding his stomach. Jadea giggled girlishly, then flung a blue sphere at Kyanosa. It was weak, but he was already injured, so it floored him. She flung another pair at Scilas, and missed, but he was thoroughly knocked on the back of the head by vole's fist. He fell to an unconscious heap on the floor. Rebdok knocked Mazzic off his feet with his scythe, then grabbed him by the arm and flung him into the others still standing, bowling them over.
CR glared accross the room and Malachai met his gaze, grinning. "Well well, CR, too bad you can't interfere in this, as we never struck you."
CR grunted once, and winced as Mazzic, getting to his feet, attempted to aim a speedy punch at Vole. But, as he did, Vole reached a hand back, caught his fist, then used his momentum to fling him forward and to the ground. Malachai chuckled at the sight of the waste. He paused and walked over to CR and smirking.
"We still have the Mana Sword, quite a good start. Good luck beating us now. We know where the second is, and are on it.," he grinned, patting CR on the cheek before vanishing in a golden light. The other council members followed suit, and so did Necronimus in the usual noxious green cloud.
Ratch panted a few words from the floor. "Awgh...Gaw...dammit…"

Ian looked at the others. He didn't know about them, but that fight set them majorly back. He silently decided something. Walking up to rynn, he turned and winked at jaded, then held a bottle that released blue fumes under her nose. She began to speak, but passed out before getting much out. He slung her over a shoulder, and Vector began to say something before Jaded drugged him and slung him over a shoulder too. Ian changed appearance a bit, breathed
in relief a bit, and Jaded grinned behind his bandanna.
"Missin that body, eh?"
Ian nodded and Jaded took off running. He followed Jaded's lead, and soon, the two were reaching near the speed limit on the highway. If not trained to be able to do it, they wouldn't have been able to. They continued on, until fatigue set in, and they stopped at the edge of the forest.
They took a breather, then sat the two down, Ian shifted back, returned to his normal appearance, then held smelling salts under the noses of the two. They coughed and awoke as he slipped the bottle into his cloak. The two were confused, but bought into the excuse about another Rip Hole hitting them all and taking them here, leaving Vec and Rynn out cold, Kai in Rynn's arms holding Crux still. Jaded noted they only had a field to cross, so they waited for the two to get their focus before going on to the pyramid across it.
