They landed to the planet, the planets was not fully with life, almost like a desert.
Caelus looked at Dan Heng. "I get it is only two of us, but how is this planet even have Trailblazers Power".
Dan Heng then moved his machine. "Um I think this is broken"
Caelus then looked at him. "What do you mean"
Dan Heng looked at him and the spoke. "Because will um, it is pointing at you, not just that.... Oh shit".
He pressed his ear piece. "Um Himiko, can you teleport us back, the planet doesn't have the energy, but the one with me does"
2 minutes later
Caelus screamed looking at everyone. "What do you mean I am producing Trailblazers Power".
The crew exchanged stunned glances as Caelus tried to process what he had just heard.
Himiko folded her arms, trying to hide a smirk. "Well, it seems our little Trailblazer here is full of surprises."
Caelus looked between her and Dan Heng, eyes wide. "Hold on! How is that even possible? I mean, I didn't do anything special!"
Dan Heng, now visibly intrigued, adjusted his glasses. "Honestly, we've never encountered anything like this. But if you're somehow generating Trailblazer Power, it could explain why the system mistook you for a source."
March chuckled, nudging Caelus with a grin. "Guess you're more than just a passenger, huh?"
Caelus groaned, rubbing his temples. "Great, so I'm basically a walking power generator? This day keeps getting weirder."
Welt cleared his throat, looking at Caelus thoughtfully. "This might actually be a blessing in disguise. If you can harness this power, we might be able to fuel the Astral Express directly—without relying on any planets at all."
"Wait," Caelus blinked, slowly absorbing the implications. "So, you're saying… I'm now the Astral Express's fuel source?"
Himiko grinned. "More like a potential one. But don't worry, we're not going to hook you up to the engine like a battery."
Dan Heng checked his scanner again. "The readings show your Trailblazer Power fluctuates slightly. It's possible that, as you grow stronger, you could control this output."
Caelus sighed, trying to wrap his head around it all. "So, what do I do now? Just… sit here and try to pump out energy?"
Himiko shook her head, smiling. "No, we'll need to investigate this further. For now, let's monitor your levels and see if we can find a way to safely channel the energy when needed. In the meantime, try to stay calm and relaxed—it might help regulate the power."
March laughed. "That might be tough for him. Calm isn't exactly his specialty!"
Caelus shot her a playful glare, though he couldn't hide his own grin. "Yeah, yeah, laugh it up. Guess I'm your personal power source now."
Welt clapped him on the shoulder, reassuring. "Don't worry, Caelus. This could turn out to be a great advantage. We'll work together to figure it out."
As Caelus sat back, he felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. The Astral Express was a place of mystery and discovery, and now he was right at the center of it all.
Pom pom then looked at everyone. "Everyone there is a crash ship on the planet"
Before anyone can do that, Caelus went to the teleporter and teleported there, he ran in high speed as he arrived to the crash place he looked around, Guard's in the ground dead, as he lookee around, as he found a hooded figur as the figur arms was trying to grab a girl she was a young Foxian woman with green eyes, a bushy brown tail, brown hair with red tips tied into a ponytail, and large, brown fox ears. She wears a sleeveless brown dress with white and red accents, along with a red sash acting as a belt, held together at her waist by a golden clasp. She wears a jade bracelet on her left wrist and matching detached short sleeves on her upper arms. For her footwear, she wears calf-high white stirrups and high-heeled golden sandals that leave her toes exposed.

He removed the hodded person, as he holded Tingyun, the hodded finger just desiper he just looked at Tingyun.
In the Astral Express everyone looked at her.
Caelus looked at everyone. "So any idea on who this Fox girl is".
March looked at him spoke. "Fist no, and second that Racist".
Himiko looked at Tingyun. "From my and Herta scan she is in a coma, for how long only time will tell".
Caelus nodded and looked at them. "And for the dead guard's, she seems like she is an important part of what ever plant she came from".
Welt adjusted his glasses, studying Tingyun's unconscious form thoughtfully. "You're likely right, Caelus. From her attire and the fact that she had guards with her, she might be a figure of some importance on her planet. This attack could mean she was being targeted for a reason."
March furrowed her brows, looking at Caelus. "Still, running off on your own like that was reckless. You didn't even know what you were running into!"
Caelus shrugged, trying to look casual. "I didn't exactly have time to sit around. If I hadn't gone, she could've been in even more danger."
Himiko nodded approvingly. "You did well, Caelus. But next time, maybe give us a heads-up first. That way, we can have a plan in case anything goes wrong."
Pom Pom, standing nearby, hopped up to get a better look at Tingyun. "The Express might be able to support her recovery. If she's in a coma, the systems here could help monitor her vitals and hopefully speed up the process."
Caelus looked back at Tingyun with a thoughtful expression. "It's strange, though. That hooded figure—something about them felt… off. Almost like they weren't fully there."
Dan Heng, who'd been silent, finally spoke up. "It sounds like this encounter might have something to do with her planet's politics or some other conflict. We should be cautious in case that figure decides to follow us or target the Express."
March nodded. "Yeah, we don't want any mysterious hooded creeps boarding this train."
Caelus sighed, still watching Tingyun. "So, what do we do with her now? Just… wait and hope she wakes up?"
Welt placed a hand on his shoulder. "For now, yes. But while she's here, we'll keep her safe. And if anyone comes looking for her, we'll be ready."
As the crew agreed, Caelus felt a strange protectiveness toward Tingyun. He didn't know why, but something about her presence felt important, as if meeting her would change things in unexpected ways.
Himiko sighed. "Everyone back to you seats, we are starting the space jump, where we will reach our new planet, Pom Pom what is it called"
Pom Pom turned his head and spoke. "Jarilo-6 we got a destress call from it".
The crew settled into their seats as the Astral Express prepared for the space jump. Caelus looked out the window, watching as stars began to blur and streak, merging into the surreal, endless stretch of lights beyond the glass.
March looked over at Caelus, grinning. "Excited for your first space jump to a new planet?"
Caelus shrugged but smiled. "A little. But what's with this planet? Why is it sending a distress call?"
Pom Pom turned to address the group. "Jarilo-6 is an icy planet with limited communication. We picked up a signal from it not too long ago, though details were scarce. We don't know exactly who sent it, but the call indicated serious trouble."
Dan Heng adjusted his staff thoughtfully. "It's unlikely they have technology advanced enough to reach out beyond their own planet. Whoever managed to send that signal must be quite resourceful—or desperate."
Himiko glanced around, her face serious. "Whatever it is, we'll approach with caution. We don't know what we're walking into, so stay alert. The distress call could mean a hostile environment, unstable terrain, or even opposition we're not prepared for."
Caelus nodded, the weight of the unknown settling over him. "Understood. I'll be ready for anything."
Pom Pom gave a final nod, pressing a few buttons on the console. "Hold tight, everyone. We're jumping to Jarilo-6!"
In an instant, the entire Express vibrated as space warped around them, pulling them through the vast distance in a heartbeat. The stars outside reappeared, but now they were greeted by the sight of an enormous, ice-bound world below, shrouded in frost and swirling white clouds.
"Jarilo-6," March breathed, eyes wide as she took in the sight of the frozen planet. "Looks… cold."
Himiko looked over at the group. "Everyone, suit up and stay prepared. Let's get down there and see if we can help whoever sent that distress call."
