Mellowlink stows away on a train headed deep into wilderness territory where Bandits are prone to attack. The train swaps its original engine for a battle armed and armored engine as it takes on its new and all important passenger General Helumesion and Major Boil. Quietly Mr. Jui slips on board the train and coincidentally Lulucy is also travelling on the train as well.

The train begins its journey and the raiders led by a Captain Ganard plot their attack. Ganard, a former commanding officer in the army is one of the many officers responsible for the misfortune that befell Mellowlink and his unit. Lulucy leaves her cabin and proceeds to the dining car for some breakfast. As she walks past the seated passengers the notices a bald obese man and turns to face him. It is her uncle General Helumesion. They exchange words as Mr. Jui observes from a distance. The conversation ends with Lulucy slapping her uncle.

The bandits attack as military officers bring out weapons to return fire at them. During the firefight Mellowlink emerges on the outside of one of the rail cars. He recognizes the bright red AT leading the bandits as the personal mech of Officer Ganard and commandeering a bandit cycle, makes haste in attacking Ganard. Mellowlink manages to board Ganard's AT and Ganard fearing for his life rams the train, flinging Mellowlink harshly inside the train at the feet of Lulucy.

After much verbal back and forth Ganard recognizes Mellowlink and his mission. They fight, with Mellowlink fatally impaling Ganard upon his rifle's bayonet then ejecting him out the hole in the train they came through. Helumesion and his second in command are safe as they disconnected the engine from the remaining cars. He laughs at the escape they have made. Mellowlink goes to the landing spot of Ganard and listens to his final words. As Helumesion's train escapes, Ganard remarks openly to Mellowlink that he allowed his real enemy to escape, referring to Helumesion.
