[url=https://youtu.be/6MMoKPr3gVw]Umbri dropped the power cell and lunged for Temujin.[/url] Red glow surged through the cell’s circuits. The object fell beneath Temujin, the red spreading through every inch of the cell, until…

Every sound ceased around Umbri. An invisible explosion propelled the duo off their feet. Umbri’s hair flapped like mad from the force. Temujin’s armour shattered, and his innards scattered into the winds in a pale mess of goo and flesh. Even with Temujin’s body firmly between her and the blast, Umbri's breath was knocked out of her. Her ribcage felt like it had been knocked in an inch. The silence gave way to ringing that lingered in her ears, and only became louder the higher they went. Higher, higher, and higher. She squeezed her eyes open. In a moment of clarity, she looked out on the world beneath her, knew that she would follow her stomach down to it any second now, and even if gravity didn’t claim her, she had just launched herself with an air cannon towards a moving train.

[color=#A4303F][i][b]This idiot killed me,[/b][/i][/color] was her final thought. [color=#A4303F][i][b]I ALLOWED this idiot to kill me,[/b][/i][/color] she amended.

Their velocity slowed. Umbri’s entire body lurched. The bangs lifted from her forehead. Her legs flipped up over her head. [color=#A4303F][i][b]Ah. Going down.[/b][/i][/color]

[i]WOOOOOOSH.[/i]

The train screamed over their heads past them as they began to fall - and the metal hunk in her arm was jerked in its direction. Umbri shrieked and hung on as her date with the ground was completely swept aside by Temujin hurtling back towards the train. Her legs kicked out behind them, the force of wind pushing on her arms and almost tearing her away from him.

[color=#A4303F][b]“Temujin!! Are you flying?!”[/b][/color] She shouted, struggling to keep her arms wrapped over his chest. Whatever this was had to be the plan, right? He hadn’t just shot them up in the sky and that was that, [i]right??[/i]

[color=DC091C][b]“I.. I am!”[/b][/color] He shouted back, his astonishment as naked as his innards. The shrieking wind wailed against sensors, and his bare stumps flailed worthlessly as he zipped over the train's roof, scraped against its hull, and scattered a trail of sparks behind them. The grating that came competed against the train engine, loud enough to drown out a stream of curses from his mouth.

Finally he slammed into the roof of a carriage with a [b]thunk [/b]and stayed there. Umbri could feel her arms bleeding. If Temujin wasn’t equipped to be repeatedly slammed into the side of a moving train, then she definitely wasn’t equipped to be hitching a ride on him while he did it. 

[color=#A4303F][b]“Oh my god... oh my god...”[/b][/color] her voice warbled, legs still kicking out as the train stopped for nobody. Temujin was firmly fixed against the train for reasons unknown. Umbri? Her fingers were hooked around his armour plates and slipping. [color=#A4303F][b]“T-T-T-TEM! [i]OHMYGOD-[/i]”[/b][/color]

Her fingers slipped. Umbri went with them. Her arm stretched out impulsively to her companion with no hands to catch her. Just as she started to shriek, her shoulder was almost popped from her socket by the force of something clenching around her forearm. She grabbed back.

[color=#A4303F][b]“... Ah. Tch, ow, what...”[/b][/color] She winced as she followed the arm keeping her planted up to a huge man standing there with far too much confidence or someone whose head was pointed directly at the ground. Ground that he [i]should[/i] have been plummeting towards, but for some reason, she was the one flailing around in the wind, and the only thing flapping on him was his long jacket. It looked annoyingly cool.

He squinted at her through the goggles of his mask, tinted by a yellow glow, and cocked his head back. 

[b]“Oy. Shivs, Stabby. You know anything about this?”[/b] Umbri followed his gaze towards two other upside down passengers. The three of them were dressed in semi-uniform black attire, all wearing the same gas mask with coloured goggles. These other two were red and blue. On their feet were matching metal boots, and by those boots, a pulsing contraption with a golden core attached to the train roof. Red skipped across the train and squatted over Temujin, poking through his insides with a shotgun.

[b]“Blagh, I dunno, Shanks, some junk the magnet picked up? Looks pretty worthless… hang on. Woot! A hyper-reflex capacitor! Gimme gimme gimme -”[/b]

The blue-goggled passenger didn’t look up from pushing buttons on some heavy duty weaponry in her hands. [b]“Whatever the issue is, just keep it out of my face while I’m working,”[/b] she grumbled, and a spinning laser powered up on the end of her machine. She nonchalantly lowered it and sparks spewed up in a sheet as it made contact with the roof.

Not passengers, Umbri corrected her inner voice’s vocabulary. [u][i]Thieves.[/i][/u]

It’s a fucking train heist.
