Paddington	"-Was this a dud?"
Conductor	The Tran-MS race continued surprisingly uneventfully. The fake Mist Train was still nowhere to be seen even when we were almost at the finish line.
Whisper	"Yeah. We overtook a group of carriages that seemed to be in a battle for the lead a few days ago. --And since then, I haven't seen any other participants."
Whisper	"It's a no man's land as far as the eye can see."
Paddington	"As expected, the Trans-MS race will be won by the Mist Train by a huge margin over the rest of the field-- And that seems to be the result."
Dr. Gloria	"Well, but of course. This is the Mist Train after all. Hmmmhmm~♪"
Whisper	"Why are you so proud, Glorin?"
Dr. Gloria	"It's also Doctor's victory when it's my big brother's and mommy's victory!"
Conductor	The members of the Doggan Gang were helping us with paperwork and doing chores such as cleaning the train. I guess they were also bored with just riding the train without doing anything.
Paddington	"Hmmhmm. There's also an entertainment room on the train. You can play there if you like. Most of the crew usually do that when they get tired of the long journey."
Dr. Gloria	"No, no, let me help you! I can't just sit around playing while others do the work!"
Paddington	"What a good girl...♪"
Dr. Gloria	'...And. If I pretend to do things like cleaning the train, I can explore every nook and cranny of the Mist Train. The workings of the engine and the components were a mystery to me, but now I can finally find out--"
Paddington	"? What did you just say, Eddie?"
Dr. Gloria	"If you don't feel comfortable calling me Eddie, it's fine to just call me Doctor, okay?"
Paddington	"N-No, no! I'm sorry, I'm not very good at remembering things and then switching back!"
Bright	"Whisper! Look at this detergent! Even the toughest stains disappear in the blink of an eye! Share this excitement with me!"
Whisper	"Ehh... You still like housework, huh?"
Bright	"I am not a robot developed as a weapon, but a golem created to be useful to people! Housework is my true passion..."
Whisper	"Speak for yourself, okay? Fine~ as long as you're happy with it I guess?"
Dr. Gloria	"Big brother~♪ I've finished sorting out the accounting documents! I've found a few miscalculations, so I've stuck sticky notes with the correct figures!"
Paddington	"I don't mean to be rude, but you're all surprisingly competent! You've all done a week's worth of chores in just a few hours!?"
Conductor	They were clunkers as villains though. Inherently, the Doggan Gang may have the qualities that would make them thrive in a peaceful world.
Paddington	"There seem to be a lot of people like that all over the world. People who can't fight, but can do other, greater things."
Dr. Gloria	"And so is Paddy. ...We need you and big brother to quickly bring peace to the world so that people like that can see the light of day."
Conductor	That's easy for you to say, Dr. Gloria. The world is a big place, and there are a lot of evil things going on, and we're very far from being able to do anything about it.
Paddington	Yeah. That's why I'm busy working like this, even in my travel time, when I should be resting. Ugh~ the mountain of paperwork just doesn't seem to go down, no matter how much I process them."
Dr. Gloria	"Thanks for your hard work. But, I see - so that's why you're here, Miss Columbia".
Paddington	"? What did you say, Eddie?"
Dr. Gloria	"No, I'm talking to myself."
Dr. Gloria	"-HYAAGH!?"
Paddington	"!? What's really going on, Eddie?"
Dr. Gloria	"Oh, just got an incoming on the wireless radio I've got in my pocket! Oh, and you wouldn't know what a wireless is!"
Dr. Gloria	"Apparently, I've got fighters on the roof of this train who's been watching the perimeter, and they've just witnessed something very bizarre!"
Paddington	"Bizarre...?"
Dr. Gloria	"Something the size of a train, travelling at high speed - They're talking about something huge! Perhaps the rumoured phony Mist Train has finally appeared!"
Columbia	"You're too late, you girls."
Woking	"Watch your step, it's getting pretty bumpy."
Columbia and her men were standing on the roof of the still-running Mist Train, looking tired of waiting. Around them, Doggan Gang fighters are hanging out.
Doggan Minion	"aH, tHE bOSS--"
Doggan Minion	"i'M sCARED, i'M sCARED."
Dr. Gloria	"What's going on!? What happened? Apparently, I hear there was a sighting of what looks like a fake Mist Train-"
Whisper	"Is it really that scary looking?"
Doggan Minion	"nO, cOLUMBIA sCARIER tHAN tHE tRAIN-"
Doggan Minion	"sHE lOOKS aT uS lIKE iNSECTS! dARN IT, dARN IT, dON'T mESS wITH uS jUST bECAUSE yOU hAVE bIG tITS!"
Doggan Minion	"wE oNLY gOT oUR bOSS aFTER aLL. oNLY oUR fLAT cHEST bOSS cAN cURE uS-"
Doggan Minion	"i'M sCARED oF yOUR tITS! i'M sCARED oF yOUR tITS!"
Dr. Gloria	"Aaaah, there, there, I don't know what happened, but don't be scared okay~? No matter what enemies appear, the Doggan Gang will defeat them in style♪"
Columbia	"Don't coddle those riffraff. They've been sexually harassing me for ages and it's been so unpleasant - I don't know how many times I wanted to knock them off."
Woking	"They're supposed to be robots of simple construction, and yet they have human-like emotions, extraordinary. I'm interested to see how it works, I'd like to take it apart and see what's inside...♪"
Doggan Minion	"hIII? tHESE bIG tITS aRE sCARY, bUT iN A dIFFERENT wAY!"
Doggan Minion 2	"sCARY! hELP mE, mAMA~!"
Dr. Gloria	'I'm not your mother. No, it was I, the Doctor who manufactured you, I guess you could say I'm your parent."
Columbia	"This is no time to be messing around."
Woking	"Yeah. It's hard to keep my eyes open with all that aerodynamic drag. Look over there."
Woking pointed with her hand right next to a running Mist Train...
Fake Mist Train	"----"
There was a huge, hulking mass of metal. It looked like a rubbish heap of jumbled scrap, and yet it was travelling on the tracks at the same speed as the Train.
Paddington	"Hawawa! That's the rumoured Fake Mist Train..!"
Columbia	"I'm positive it is. It fits in with the sightings we've gathered so far. People underground, who are not used to seeing trains, are not used to seeing them, describing it as 'A huge chunk of metal was running on the tracks'-"
Columbia	"The so-called Mist Train, eh. But when you compare them side by side like this, they have a very different feel."
Conductor	Yeah. That's not just a machine by any stretch of our imagination, it's some kind of monster.
Columbia	"Aha, Mr. Conductor, you're being funny."
Paddington and I weren't confident that we could maintain our posture on the rocking train. Bright is carrying us on his shoulders.
Bright	"Hmmhmm. I, myself, often carry my master like this, so I'm used to it. And I do a lot of the load-carrying work."
Columbia	"Fine. But you should be a little more concerned about your appearance. If you're a hero, then look like one, Mr. Conductor."
Conductor	I'm not trying to be a hero. I'm just a soldier doing my duty.
Columbia	Oh, look. That's arrogant of you. There are some people that want your position so badly they're at each other's throats."
Conductor	You mean like that phony Mist Train? Did the monster want to become the Mist Train?
Dr. Gloria	"That's an outlandish idea, big brother. I don't think such a hunk of metal has the intelligence to think like that."
Doggan Minion	"yES, yES! mETAL cAN'T tHINK aND tALK aT tHE sAME tIME!"
Fake Mist Train	"PWOOOOOOON!"
Conductor	That fake Mist Train emitted a roar as if it were a huge beast roaring in response to our conversation. There are rare monsters and robots that can interact, but this one doesn't look like the type.
Dr. Gloria	"Fair point, it just runs straight ahead all the time."
Woking	"Certainly... That's why we have to keep going at the same speed, because if we stop we could be left behind."
Columbia	"It's subtle and tricky. It's hard to fight when we're moving at high speeds like this. I'd like to try and stop it somehow, but-"
Dr. Gloria	"Then leave it to Doctor and Paddy♪"
Paddington	"Hawawa, you mean me!?"
Dr. Gloria	"Use that ray gun I lent you before, the one you named 'Lucy Gun', yes? You still have that one, of course?"
Dr. Gloria	"Doctor made another one just like it. Let's both shoot at it and stop the fake Mist Train!"
Paddington	"Eeehh... The Lucy Gun is too powerful, I'm afraid to shoot it."
Paddington	"But, well, I can't say that, can I...? I can't think of anything else that would work. Shall we go with Eddie's idea, Conductor?"
Conductor	You're the vice-commander of the Special Steel Squad. You can act on your own initiative without my permission. I'm formally ordering you, Paddington, to show me how strong you are, as your superior.
Paddington	"Ahaha. Come to think of it, the Conductor wasn't around the last time I fired the Lucy Gun. This will be the first time I'm showing it off, but please don't be surprised...?"
Woking	"Everyone, please accelerate this as quickly as possible."
Woking	"Look, you can see a big town up ahead, yeah?"
Woking indicates with her hand. At the end of the track is the Subterranean Sea, and near it is a large port town. That is probably the finish line of the Trans-MS Race.
Columbia	"Yes, it seems to be a well-known town in M. St. Iris."
Columbia	"It looks almost identical to the port town by the starting point, doesn't it? They're called twins or sisters because they're very similar cities. That's why we chose it as our starting and finishing point."
Columbia	"Anyway, it certainly looks like we need to hurry. If the fake Mist Train goes into town at the rate it's going, it would be a catastrophe."
Columbia	"There's already a panic in the town after witnessing the two trains running at high speed. The underground people aren't familiar with this."
Dr. Gloria	"We came here to enjoy the festivities of Trans-MS Race. It's a pity that they have to be scared like that."
Dr. Gloria	"Doctor must stop the fake Mist Train!"
Paddington	"I feel the same way, Eddie. If you're willing to fight for someone like that. You're already on the side of justice."
Paddington	"No. You're one of the heroes who's going to save the world."
Paddington	"Once again, welcome to the Special Steel Squad - everyone of the Doggan Gang♪"
While Paddington was saying what she wanted to say, something unusual abruptly happened. The fast-moving fake Mist Train rattled with a metallic sound.
Fake Mist Train	"PWOOOOOOON!"
Columbia	"Oh no, it looks like it's going to do something! Hurry up, shoot quickly and stop it--"
The Columbia said that in a rare air of impatience, the phony Mist Train took flight, defying the laws of physics. The huge body flew through the air and came towards us at a furious pace.
Dr. Gloria	"HIIIIII!? IT-IT's FLYING? CAN TRAINS FLY!?"
Columbia	"Like I already said, it's not a train - it's a monster."
Columbia drew her sword while letting out a sigh, ready to intercept the approaching fake Mist Train. Meanwhile, the fake rumbles metallically in the air...
Fake Mist Train	"PWOOOOOOON!"
Its entire body transforms into a humanoid shape. Before we knew it, the fake Mist Train transformed into a bizarre military weapon-like figure with a huge torso and long arms and legs.
Columbia	"The train, transformed into a robot...!?"
Bright	"Don't call me a robot, you jeeeeeeerk!"
Whisper	"Nobody's talking about you, Bright, okay?"
Dr. Gloria	"C-calm down! It's just a change of form! What we have to do has not changed!
Dr. Gloria	"We're going to kill the bad monsters that scare everyone...!"
While being amused by the self-proclaimed "big baddies" taking the initiative to do the right thing, the team began to engage the transformed fake Mist Train.
