Which we stopped at the the Ruins of Thunder along the Metro Hole. During our investigation, we found what looked like a hole leading further into the ruins.
The small Versailles rappelled down into the hole to see what was inside, but an unknown being pulled her downwards so hard that all those supporting the rope almost fell to the bottom of the hole.
Versailles
"Queensway, let go of the rope! If you don't, we'll all fall in!"
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"What are you talking about! We would never do that! We're all going up together, we'll be fine! Don't give up!"
Versailles
"It's the Mist! The hole is full of Phantom Mist! This is a trap! You mustn't all come here!"
--The hole beneath is full of Phantom Mist.
Versailles shouted at Queensway to cut the rope, but Queensway, who was supporting Versailles up close, could not do as Versailles said.
However, Euston did just that. Without hesitation, she cut Versailles' rope and let Versailles drop down the hole.
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Paddington, what's the status of the Mist Train?"
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"A-OK! We're ready to go at a moment's notice!"
Story Euston.png
Euston
"The rail brakes that previously brought the train to a sudden stop also doesn't seem to be working now. The train should be able to operate as normal."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Good. Now it's just a question of where to proceed."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Brittany, how about the route through the site?"
Story Brittany.png
Brittany
"Yes, sir. I've just finished checking the route to the chamber. Here is a map of the routes within the Ruins of Thunder."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"A route map of the Ruins? How did you manage to produce such a thing in such a short time?"
Story Brittany.png
Brittany
"It's thanks to Paddington's memory. I was able to single out only the railway lines into one map from all the different maps she made for the way there and the way back."
Story Euston.png
Euston
"Miss Brittany, can we get to where Versailles is by train?"
Story Brittany.png
Brittany
"Frankly speaking, I cannot say for sure at this stage whether the railway line continues to Versailles."
Story Brittany.png
Brittany
"But I think it is possible to travel by Mist Train to that chamber where we were. All the barriers that were activated as traps have been lifted, so as long as the path is not blocked again, we should be fine."
Story Euston.png
Euston
"The ruins with the disarmed traps are part of a railway line. It seems more likely that the whole site is covered by the railway line."
Story Brittany.png
Brittany
"Oui, I think so too. I don't know how far it goes, but it would at least be possible to go beyond those halls."
Story Euston.png
Euston
"Versailles probably entered the lower levels of the ruins. There must be a tunnel that goes further down from the Celestial Sphere Chamber..."
Story Brittany.png
Brittany
"Go to that chamber again and we'll see. There may be doors that open in response to the train's magic."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Sir Conductor, Instructor Finchley. Everyone is ready. Ready on your command."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Conductor, please use your judgement. If we follow the route map, I think we can make it."
Conductor
"I trust Brittany's route map. Let's continue as planned by train to the Celestial Sphere Chamber.
Conductor
We will be very careful to avoid contact and derailment accidents as we proceed through the ruins. Proceed with low speeds, and Train Knights should prepare to engage for combat outside the train.
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Roger that."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"All hands in position! We will now re-enter the interiors of the Ruins of Thunder by Mist Train!"
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Roger that!"
Story Putra.png
Putra
"Alright! We're going in again! We have to save Versailles as soon as possible!"
Story Vivienne.png
Vivienne
"Oui. Versailles will live. I'm sure she's waiting for us."
Story Brittany.png
Brittany
"I'll take the lead with Paddington. We have to make sure there are no changes to the structure of the ruins."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Miss Yakutsk, Miss Yoshino. Please make the final checks. If everything is OK, we will depart."
Story Yakutsk.png
Yakutsk
"Hold it, Yoshino has some concerns..."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Concerns?"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Yakky-tan. That's a nosh. Rephrase that."
Story Yakutsk.png
Yakutsk
"?"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Change it to 'be waiting a minute' instead of 'be a bit concerned'."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Yoshino has just passed the level of 'there are concerns'. Thinks we should wait a little longer before leaving with the Mist Train."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Eh-!?"
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Miss Yoshino wants the train to leave a little later."
Story Euston.png
Euston
"Why? There's nothing wrong with the train or the ruins. I don't think we should stay here for too long."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"The problem is where we are. The rails at this station are a little bit dubious. Suggest to go forward or backward only a bit and see what happens."
Story Euston.png
Euston
"Right, I recalled Miss Yoshino said we're on magic rails. I heard that it was imbued with a magic power that automatically slows it down..."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Yes. It's rails that affects the wheels of the train."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"The rails are starting to have a little bit of magic in them again. It's increasing in intensity. You should check it out, Euston will understand."
Story Euston.png
Euston
"......"
Story Euston.png
Euston
"...For sure."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Glad you understand."
Story Euston.png
Euston
"It's different from the magic I can feel in the Mist, and from the magic that people manipulate. Is it a unique power possessed by ancient ruins?"
Story Yakutsk.png
Yakutsk
"But it is strong enough to override Conductor's magic? I doubt it would have much effect on preventing movement. It's not like a mousetrap that sticks to the wheels and won't let go."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Not sure if it can control Shashou's magic power. But if Shashou injects magic into it, it might react."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"The risk is too high. We should fall back and see what happens, as Yoshino suggested."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Euston, you know the saying, 'More haste, less speed'?"
Story Euston.png
Euston
"Yes. The priority is the Mist Train and Sir Conductor. We can't afford to have anything happen in the middle of a tunnel like this."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"Paddington, reverse slightly. Turn back to where the Mist Train started slowing down."
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"Aye, sir! Mist Train, slight reverse!"
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"......"
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"Hawawa?"
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"What's the matter?"
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
'No, it just might be my imagination. Here, this and, that way..."
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"Huh? I'm not imaginating things after all?"
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"What are you messing about with? Any trouble?"
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"No, it's not really a trouble..."
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"......"
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"The Mist Train, is inoperable!"
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"IDIOT! THAT'S CALLED TROUBLE!"
Story Vivienne.png
Vivienne
"Paddington, hold up! What are you doing? The rails and wheels are glowing red. I thought we were supposed to go backwards."
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"The rails are glowing red!? But all I did was operating normally!?"
Story Vivienne.png
Vivienne
"You operating the train normally is, by all accounts, an anomaly."
Story Putra.png
Putra
"Yoshino, can you do anything about this?"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Can't do anything about this, that's why Yoshino asked for a 'be waiting a minute'."
Story Putra.png
Putra
"Do something! Show off your inner Kougyoukei or something!"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"This is no longer within the scope of a kougyoukei. It's in the hands of a mahou shoujo-kei now."
Story Vivienne.png
Vivienne
"The energy is filling up fast. Is this also because of those weird rails?"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"The deceleration rails are transforming into acceleration rails. If this continues, the Mist Train will be doing..."
Story Putra.png
Putra
"The Mist Train will be doing...?"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Maximum full-power acceleration!"
Story Putra.png
Putra
"Maximum full-power acceleration!?"
Story Putra.png
Putra
"What...? That's like saying it's seafood from the sea."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Maa, something like that."
Story Finchley.png
Finchley
"All hands prepare for rapid acceleration! We're charging straight inside the ruins!"
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"The train's furnace isn't even reacting that strongly. The same as when we broke through inside the Giant Tree..."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"The only difference is that Paddington's normal this time."
Story Paddington.png
Paddington
"Hawawa, we're going to move forward at full speed, reluctantly~!"
The magical train, the Mist Train, had lost control due to the power of the acceleration rails from the halt inside the Metro Hole.
Ran at a speed that was clearly too fast to proceed through the intricate interiors of the Ruins of Thunder, it started running deeper into it...
