Zhi wasted no time in making his way over to the local train station. The new job he was taking up was going to require a bit more muscle than he would have liked to admit, meaning Slade was going to be accompanying him for this one. Unfortunately, the two of them weren't allowed to rough up the person they're trying to take care of.

The main purpose of the job was to haul this guy onto a train and make sure he doesn't do anything crazy, like jump off or anything. As Zhi reached the stop for the train, he stood there and awaited for slayer of a guild mate. Hopefully he didn't take too long; there was no telling what the man who wanted this to happen was capable of when he didn't want to get on a train. It's fully possible he didn't even come here today.

It was time for the young Dragon Slayer to undergo another job and yet again, it lacked something he craved for. Ever since he joined his Guild, he wanted to fight. Day after day, it was ‘don’t hurt this guy’, ‘don’t beat up this chicken’. That reoccurring theme was something Slade wanted to free himself from.

When he heard that their client wanted them to bring her husband onto a train, he thought it would be a simple mission. The Dragon Slayer, however, soon learned that it wasn’t going to be easy at all. Apparently her husband was terrified of the train and refused to budge from their house.

“You’re going whether you like it or not,” Slade said, “And we can do this one or two ways.”

After that threat, the Dragon Slayer realized he’d made a mistake. Apparently his words caused the man to panic even more. That’s when Slade slapped his forehead, wondering what they should do next.

Zhi sighed out and facepalmed at his friend's actions. Threatening the man wasn't exactly going to get him to budge. if anything, he became even more like a gargoyle, becoming more rigid than stone. "Hold on, I got an idea, Slade." He took the helm and walked into the train, getting three tickets for the lot of them. He sat in a booth that offered them a little room, only to open a portal in the seat across from them.

He then moved to open another portal outside in front of Slade and the man they were hired to get onto the train. Zhi popped his head and upper body into the portal, looking at the two of them. "Here, let's hop in through this. We'll be able to go anywhere you want after this, mister. Just follow me!" Zhi left the portal soon after, awaiting the two of them.

“O…Oh I forgot he could do this,” Slade mumbled as he looked through his Guild Mate’s portal.

Zhi’s plan was so much better than what the young Dragon Slayer’s. All that was left was for Slade to throw their client’s husband across the portal. Before he could, the man somehow fled elsewhere. That’s when the Dragon prepared for the hunt and chased after him. After he finally caught up to him, he carried the man back to the portal.

“Man you’re a lot to handle,” he muttered, “You know that?”

Slade was just about to toss the man across when the client’s husband somehow managed to slide out of the Dragon Slayer’s grip. Once he was free, the man kicked Slade’s back and caused him to fall right through the portal. He then cried out in terror while he raced home.

“Darn you…” the Dragon Slayer said and then suddenly felt as if he was going to throw up as the train started to move.

As if things couldn't get worse with this very delicate job, Zhi noticed that the man managed to slip away from the slayer. Silently cheering him on from the train, he watched as Slade managed to get a hold on him again and drag him over to the portal. Right before he was about to get thrown in, the man escaped and kicked the ever loving shit out of the slayer, landing him in the portal. Slade fell inside of the train as it began to move, and like that, he was out of commission. Zhi sighed out as he put up two fingers, focusing his magical energy throughout his body. His body fazed through the train through a single teleport, covering massive ground with the second and ending up in front of the man. He grabbed at his hand and teleported one more time, appearing within the train with the man in hand.

"How could this--" Suddenly, a gun was pointed to his head with a hand held out for his money. Well, it just got worse.

It took just about everything the young Dragon Slayer had to overcome his sickness. He managed to stand up, but his legs were still shaky. As Slade stood up, he noticed the man on the train and that’s when he wiped the sweat that was piling up on his forehead. Unfortunately for him though, they weren’t out of dark waters just yet. Apparently another man had a gun pointed to his head.

“Whoa now,” Slade said, holding his mouth, “Let’s not do anything we’ll regret.”

The young Dragon Slayer knew that his Guild Mate could try something, since he could use portals and figured that would be their best chance to not fail. All Slade had to do was keep the man calm, so that’s what he tried to do. He had to admit though, he had no idea what they should do, he’d never been in that kind of situation before.

“Pst, don’t you have any tricks up your sleeves for this one?” Slade whispered to his comrade.

He was looking down a steel barrel. A lot of people would freeze up in this moment; they would throw money to make sure they could escape with their lives and hide away in frightened rebellion of becoming a hero. Zhi was not such a person. He was angry that someone even had the audacity to come after him and his friend with a loaded weapon. For that, he would suffer.

His eyes widened as his body began to pulsate a bit faster, small portals appearing inside of the weapon wielder's chest to cut off part of the blood flow to his heart. Zhi began to draw his blade without fear, showing off the dark steel to the man as he allowed the other portals to appear above the man's head and let fresh blood spill along his head and face.

"I've already severed the flesh of your head.. If you don't want to lose anymore blood, you'll move on." A tough bluff, but a bluff indeed.

When the young Dragon Slayer asked for Zhi’s help, cutting the man wasn’t exactly what he had in mind. Still, it wasn’t like he had a better idea. Thanks to the moving train, there was very little Slade could do and that made him angry. Suddenly as the man was contemplating his decisions, Slade suddenly lost his balance and fell over.

“Wait… this gives me an idea…” he muttered to himself while holding his mouth and crawled under the seats.

Slowly as he slithered through the ground, he’d hold his finger to let everyone know that they should stay quiet about his actions. After he’d worked his way towards the man’s general location, he quickly rolled out and appeared behind the man. Thinking that he had the advantage since his partner was distracting him, Slade grabbed the hand that held the gun and tackled him to the ground.

“Now say you’re sorry to the nice people on this train,” he said, holding the man’s head up so that he could speak.

Zhi watched as the blood flowed down the man's face, but no fear was shown. It was almost like he didn't even care that he already had a wound. The samurai hadn't counted on that. He didn't know what to do in front of a loaded gun now, but luckily, Slade was already taking care of business while the robber was distracted.

As the criminal got tackled to the ground with the slayer on top of him, Zhi crouched down and looked him dead in the eyes. "I-I'm sorry, I won't ever do anything bad again! Just let me go!" Zhi merely placed his hand on the man's head and focused his magical energy inside of his brain.

"Sleep." Like that, the samurai put a portal in the middle of the man's brains, cutting off the electrical synapses within and the shock instantly knocking the man out. The portal disappeared just as quickly, but the deed was done. He was asleep.

The young Dragon Slayer watched the Samurai do something and suddenly he was scared. He had no idea what Zhi had done to the man and that’s what he was worried about the most. His worries, however, didn’t last very long because he remembered that the train was still moving. It caused Slade to roll over and he felt the world around him rushing at full speed.

“When is this crazy ride going to end,” he muttered to himself and then everything stopped.

They’d finally reached their destination and before anyone else could exit the locomotive, the Dragon Slayer pushed everyone out of the way. Once he was free and back on solid ground, he kissed it, very happy that the nightmare was finally over with. After he was finished, he was greeted by their client’s husband.

“I want to thank each of you,” he said while tossing a bag of jewels to each of them, “I didn’t think I’d ever get here.”
