8. SEE - CAPTAIN CHOO CHOO
"Uwaaah!" Kay screamed as he fell on his face only to realize that he was back on the train filled with clamouring people and the hole he had made there. "Ow, my chest hurts."
He pushed himself up and staggered back to his seat. Only his bag was there but Sasha's was gone. "What happened? Why was I on the floor? Did she leave? Why can't I remember a thing? And what is with that hole in the train!"
Just then the train screeched to a stop throwing him against his seat with great force, everyone hurried out of the train in a mighty uproar.
"Um, huh, I should leave too-- !?" Kay picked up his bag and prepared to leave but stayed. "Perhaps I should wait a bit, I don't really like crowds."
Kay clung to his bag and shook his head sadly. "But why did she leave without saying goodbye? No, she wouldn't do that. But what if she's in trouble? Yes! She has a broken arm. But how do I find her?"
Kay aimed to leave but stopped yet again. He could feel an oddity in the air. Thinking back he had been having a weird feeling since he met that silver haired lady...
"Did she have something to do with it?"
... And waking up to find the class a mess...
... Then the train...
"Spirits!" He recalled her saying something like that. "Apparitions? What am I even saying, spirits don't exist. Scientifically they don't."
He could sense something in the air, the foul scent of something entering the carriage but there was nothing there.
"But I can't throw away the hypothesis that I can feel something, I can feel her. I dont know how but I can tell she's in trouble. But she's not here."
He reached to the back of his head and scratched it.
"This is really confusing."
Sasha reached for her bag and took her paper fan. "Stay back if you don't want to be exorcised."
The huge black humanoid spirit with a fat belly came forward. His eyes flashing white. He gave a hearty laugh. "You have very rich spiritual energy, I hate to admit it would take a while to assimilate it."
Sasha's eyes burned bright with conviction. "Well, you will find out thqt I won't be as soft on you."
The huge spirit laughed. "Bahahaha! With such a pitiful state, choo choo! I have devoured many exorcists like you, you will meet the same fate, choo choo!"
Sasha was already fatigued and her body out of coordination. "What's with that annoying sound?"
The spirit paused his advance and spoke. "In my past life I was a train enthusiast, I grew up and became a captain of this very train we are aboard. It felt fulfilling."--
"Everyday I tended to the passengers, I took them on wild adventures. Alas!"--
"There was a fire and the train went boom, Choo Choo!"--
"I could not save it! I watched it burn and I died alongside a number of other people who were left disfigured and scarred by the horrendous experience. The last thing I heard was my train's throttle."--
The spirit hissed out white puffs of smoke at certain intervals.
"Years later the train got renovated and I have been reigning ever since, bound to my precious train forever."--
"And here you blew up a hole in my baby. You little bitch, I Captain Choo Choo will now devour your rich spirit energy till there is nothing left off you!"
Sasha's eyebrow flexed reflexively.
"Darn it! I knew I should have taken the bus!" She said to herself.
The spirit shot out a blast sound wave that hit her. Sasha collapses one the ground and screaming.
"Bahaha! My choo choo wave is my special attack that channels my love for my train into pure melodic sound. With one blast, you are instantly railed."
Sasha gasped for air as she covered her ears which barely blocked out the sound. "You make some really bad puns Captain Stupid."
The spirit glared at her and started to advance towards her causing her heart to heat faster.
"Curses! He's too strong!"
