Zero nodded silently and soon the TerraLiner was hooked onto the back of the KamiLiner. Zero looked out the window to check the work and nodded his approval. The golden train started moving with the other train moving along with it. Both trains were soon out of the station and making their way on the tracks of time. Zero walked into the dining car of his own train to see his imagin partners were not there.
"Where did those guys go?"
Zero looked around for a moment and sighed deeply.
"They must have boarded the TerraLiner without anyone noticing."

The Tera Liner was short. Two cars, actually. The hammer-space dining car seemed to be, as usual, not part of the physical composition of the train's weaponized components. He looked with a grimace at the Imagin sitting in the train, and frowned. He walked over to Kazan, and took a seat across the table. These three hadn't changed quite as much.
"Shouldn't you guys be hiding, so I don't find out Jin's true identity?" Not that it mattered, of course, because Mitsu already knew. It hadn't been really hard or anything. The lights in the Tera Liner were still dim, and the train was musty and smelled of dust. Was going to need a cleaning, probably. Mitsu sighed, and shrugged.

Sasuga ran over to their table and pushed Kazan further into the booth so he and Mitsu were seeing eye to eye.
"That's boring. How can I steal the spotlight by hiding? I'm not Yuuki."
Sasuga tried to stop himself from completing his statement, but it came out before he realized. He looked down at the floor sadly while Akutama came over and smacked the back of his head.
"Idiot! Don't talk about things that haven't happened yet!"
Sasuga continued to be silent while Kazan looked around the TeraLiner like a kid in a candy store.
"This is a very dirty train! You should clean it Mitsu before the bad stuff starts happening here in Den-O world."
Akutama and Sasuga smacked Kazan at the same time whose apology was ignored by the two of them. Akutama looked at three of them sternly.
"Don't talk about future events you two. We can't risk changing things. We're supposed to protect the time line not obliterate it!"
Kazan twiddled his fingers before looking at Akutama in confusion.
"But I thought we came to the past to change the future by defeating the present Checkmate 4 before they topple the other worlds."
Akutama was left dumbstruck and decided to sit down and keep him mouth shut as the other two pretended this conversion never took place.

Mitsu frowned. There were only three of them, and the mention of the forth had been... melancholy. Mitsu shifted in his seat, a bit uncomfortably. He'd apparently be in for a lot, huh. He sighed, and shook his head.
"Well. If you guys weren't with an actual singularity point... Wait... The fact that you guys do exist... Do we even have a chance to change the future? I'm not sure it's possible, now. The fact that it's happened seems to say that there's no changing it." Mitsu frowned, and drew a few letters in the dust on the table... A sharp, three-lined shaped S, an I, D, M... He dashed his hand across, and frowned, then sneezed into the back of his hand.
"Well... Do you know when we can hit up the outside world, so I can buy some cleaning supplies, maybe gamble on meeting my Imagin?" He asked, frowning. He considered sending one of them to the front just to have them tell Jin to get them on the ground, in the real world, sometime in the next several minutes. Mitsu shrugged the belt off his shoulder, and sat it across the table in front of him. It wasn't dusty like the interior of the train... The lights suddenly burst to full glory, and the interior was revealed, soft chocolate browns with beautiful vermilion accents and white walls. It was... Like a cherry cordial, only less delicious. Mitsu sighed, and put his hand on the buckle. It was a bit warm, as if humming with energy.
"Actually... One of you go tell Jin to take us somewhere I can get some cleaning supplies..." and his stomach rumbled... "And some food."

The three imagin stopped what they were doing and looked each before turning to face Mitsu shrug their shoulders.
"We don't have any idea. It was Tenshi's idea to return to the past not ours."
Sasuga jumped out of his seat and began to walk over to the window. He stuck his head out the window and began to crawl out until he was hanging on to the side of the car.
"I'll go tell Jin I mean Zero to stop somewhere so you get your cleaning supplies. I want to get back as soon as possible so I can regain my glorious spotlight!"
Sasuga climbed the side of the car until he reached the back car of the KamiLiner. He walked in their the back door and made his way to the dining car where Zero sat. He told Zero what Mitsu wanted to do and he nodded without saying a word. Sasuga stuck his head out the window of the dining car to give a thumbs up to Kazan who had been watching him out the window he had left from. Akutama took a seat in front of Mitsu and looked towards Kazan.
"I don't think that was really necessary. Sasuga could have just talked to Zero telepathically."
Kazan stuck his head out the window to tell Sasuga what Akutama said and to hear Sasuga's response. He brought his head in and closed the window.
"He said that was necessary for his grand comeback. I thought it was interesting!"
Akutama sighed as the KamiLiner with the TeraLiner attached began to slow down on the tracks and a door to the outside world could be seen.

"What an eccentric guy..." Mitsu sighed, and stood, dusting his coat off. Magenta, and it was suede to boot. Why had he worn such an expensive, flashy coat today? He shrugged, and walked over to the exit, headed off to exit the vehicle. He didn't need much... some glass cleaner, and some all-purpose surface cleaner, and some masks and paper towels... And something safe for leather? He brushed his hand against the seat closest to the exit, and frowned. Something safe for leather. Expensive...

Kazan followed after Mitsu as well as Sasuga who left the dining car of the KamiLiner as soon as they had come to a halt.
"Jin I mean Zero wants to stay on board. We will go in disguises until we encounter an imagin then we will reveal ourselves in a dramatic fashion!"
Kazan nodded and got onto the KamiLiner where he obtained a dusty box in the back of the fifth car. He threw out the window where Sasuga was waiting to catch it. Sasuga opened the box and pulled out two costumes, a monkey and a rhino. Sasuga put on the monkey costume while Kazan put on the rhino costume when he went out the door to the fifth car. They were ready with their costumes on in a matter of moments.
"Let's go then Mitsu-san!" Aren't you coming Akutama?"
Kazan looked up to Akutama who was looking out the window of the TeraLiner.
"You all go on without me. I'll stay here on the TeraLiner even though it's an old rust bucket."
Kazan nodded and the two imagin in ridiculous animal costumes headed for the door to the outside world.

Mitsu stretched as he stepped down from the train, into the sandy wastes. He pushed open the door, into a crowded, busy shopping center. The door lead into a service hall, and no one noticed Mitsu or the costumed imagin walk out. Mitsu ran his hands through his hair, then shoved them in his coat's pockets. One hand rested on the pass, the other pocket was empty. He frowned, and moved his hand to pull his wallet out of his back pocket. Sixty thousand yen left the thing a bulky. He didn't usually walk around with this much money, but he'd been to the bank but hadn't been able to drop half off at home first.
His first order of business, he was going to get some clothing. Something plainer, that didn't stand out so much. He was already catching the glances of pretty girls, who were distracted slightly more by him than his costumed companions. Everyone else, of course, was paying more attention to the Imagin. Mitsu just ignored the glances. He was fairly used to it, easy to ignore it. He was moving against the crowd, but it wasn't so tightly packed as to be near impossible. The first place he found wasn't designer, but they had plain, average clothing, so he walked in. There was a decent, every-day sort of general store a while away anyway, so Mitsu just went ahead. He'd field questions from the imagin once the three of them were inside.

Sasuga in his monkey costume and Kazan in his rhino costume followed Mitsu through the straights while they attracted the stares of passerbys. Kazan looked around at everything in awe while Sasuga was busy trying to attract as much attention to himself as possible. He danced around in his costume and was attempted to pull it off and show what he truly was, but decided against it as both Akutama and Zero would be very angry with him. Meanwhile Kazan kept stopping at every store to take a peek inside through the window. Sasuga reached the clothing store Mitsu was leading them to first and ran inside to attract the attention of the store's employees while Kazan was lagging behind with his window peeking. He finally reached the store after he ran after Sasuga and passed Mitsu into the store. Kazan stood in the doorway and waited patiently for Mitsu to arrive, but he was also watching some birds that were perched on a tree near the building.

Mitsu shopped quickly. The clothing was inexpensive, but not dirt cheap, and that was good. He wondered, for a moment, if he'd have a place to stay, aside from the Tera Liner. But he paid and dressed in the changing room. He had gotten a pair of tight-fitting blue jeans, a shirt that was red with four large black triangles (Think Lightspeed Rescue) on it, and a red jacket over it that continued the black wedges as red, with white where the red continued on the coat. It was something that seemed mildly impossible, but it looked good on Mitsu, so no one would likely complain.
He handed the pink coat he'd been wearing to a beautiful young lady who looked like she could use a jacket, and threw the rest away. He finally stopped at the door, remembering something.
"KAZAN! SASUGA!" An older lady looked sternly at Mitsu, and he apologized, but he hoped that he'd gotten his point across. It was time to go.

Kazan was trying on different hats and Sasuga was showing off to the people in the changing rooms when Mitsu yelled for them. They ran towards the door from where they were at and stopped when they saw Mitsu who was getting a stern look from an older lady.
"Let's go Mitsu-san! Let's go to the next place and see if it's interesting!"
Sasuga nodded in agreement and ran right out the front door into the open street with Kazan following close behind. Sasuga stopped walking and turned his head back towards Mitsu.
"Come on Mitsu. Don't keep my spotlight waiting."

Keep his spotlight waiting, huh? What a one-track mind. Mitsu turned, now in plainer clothes. He still drew the eyes of young, healthy women... and some who looked a bit less young, but no less... fit for mating. Not that Mitsu was into that, anyway. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a small, glowing yellow sphere dash through the crowd wildly, seemingly dancing around couples. Happy couples, he noticed, only happy couples. He turned his head to follow the sphere and caught a glimpse of it circle the feet of a young woman, crying with joy that her feelings were returned, in a small cafe. Mitsu wasn't sure what it was, but it reminded him of those tales of Cupid.
And then it flew straight at Mitsu. He didn't have time or space to dodge, as the sphere collided with his chest. He could feel the sand build up under his clothes, and he frowned. He shook out his arm, and the sand just spilled out everywhere. Like a gag. Really funny, actually, he thought. He could feel it, faintly, inside him. He turned to the imagin with a look of mixed glee and distress. This could be his Imagin. Or it could be some beast looking to use him for it's own ends. He didn't know yet.

Sasuga and Kazan didn't notice the new imagin at first as they occupied with a couple of street performers doing things such as juggling, magic, and break dancing. Kazan turned around to see if Mitsu was waiting on them when he spotted the imagin that had just appeared in its sandy form. Kazan nudged Sasuga's shoulder to make him turn around, but he ignored him and tried to imitate the break dancer with his own moves added in. Kazan instead watched the imagin with Mitsu with great curiosity to see if Mitsu was willing to contract with him like Zero did with them.

The crowd made it hard for the imagin to get a word in edgewise, so Mitsu just sighed. He didn't shake his head or speak loudly, but he wasn't moving and that was slowly but surely creating a gap... and eventually people would notice.
"Cupid, dude. Stop trying to talk, we can do that somewhere less crowded, alright? No funny ideas. I gave you a name and a face, and you loop pretty harmless on your own to me." He kicked the imagin one last time, then waved a hand to Kazan and Sasuga, in a sort of Come on! gesture. He turned and headed off to find a nice, quiet side-street. It didn't take long.

Kazan followed immediately since he was curious about this new imagin that could possibly partner up with Mitsu and even become friends with him. Sasuga was still trying to show off to the people that were passing by the street performers. Kazan ran over to him and yanked him away.
"Come on Sasuga we have to follow Mitsu and his new imagin partner."
Sasuga spotted the imagin with Mitsu and instantly ran towards the quiet side-street they headed off to with Kazan following close behind.
"What's the meaning of this imagin trying to steal my spotlight?! The spotlight rightfully belongs to me and me alone! Not some imagin that appears out of nowhere!"
Both of them were standing in front of Mitsu and the new imagin. Kazan was looking all around the new imagin while Sasuga stood there with his arms crossed.
"So Mitsu-san are you going to contract with this imagin now?!"
