Inside the pilot cabin of the train, a strange man suddenly jumped in, right at the side of Kristogar Velo. The former special agent turned, to see a man as tall as himself, garbed in the traditional silver and grey uniform of the Strikeforce. This one, however, had a particular belt, lined with many littler pockets of various shapes and dimensions. The jacket was tailored to allow the membrane joining the arms to the side of the torso, to spread like the wings of a bat.

"Surrender yourself on the basis of the UN mandate 345-76 bis" said the bat-man.

"And if I don't?" asked Velo, slightly amused, one hand still on the controls of the train.

"Be dead" replied the UN Agent, seriously.

"Heh!" smiled Velo, suddenly pushing hard over the train bracket. The convoy bracketed fiercely, as their occupants went all with their backs on the floor.

Agent Noctule crashed on the front window of the train, to be caught by Velo and pushed again and again on the glass, until it shattered it. Kristogar left the Agent hanging across the broken window, restarted the train, accelerated to a very fast pace, and then crawling on the side of the train and of the first freight, reached the side door, and jumped in.

Raptor, Z and D'Goon were facing another Strikeforce agent, seemingly able to sprout a web like substance from his mouth, as the General and his guard were tied up like salami. Just the Italian hero was still free, and facing the spider like creature, which was standing upside down from the ceiling, waving his mace.

"It's all OK?" asked Velo, without leaving his eyes from the Strikeforce Agent.

"I think you should take some driving lessons, Velo"" joked the former Eurostar, throwing his mace at the spider-man. The mouth of the meta opened, sprouting out a liquid that coming into contact with the air, consolidated into a sticky silk rope. The mace was totally engulfed into the strange substance, but before it could fall to the floor, a precise flying kick from Velo had put the Agent to sleep.

As Raptor turned at the two Mandelovians, to untie them, Velo looked around, and asked: "Where's Tayden?"

"He has followed Smith above, it seems there is that strange shadow man..."

"Uhm..." whispered Kristogar, placing one hand on the upper edge of the side door. Then, with a powerful swing, he jumped out, and above, landing on the roof.

Toward the middle freight, he saw Smith facing the shadow being, both standing over the roofs like the train was still. Tayden, on the opposite, was lying flat, grasped to a metal bar to not fly away.

Velo also turned toward the head of the train... and much to his dismay, he saw that they were riding faster toward a wall of rocks!
