Eventually, plans were drawn up to attack Knight. The gas-mask wearing titan could act as a sniper whenever needed and could simply go about setting traps. Moses was experienced in all forms of combat, thanks to his Ranger upbringing, and was going to have a field-trip when it came down to the battle itself. The others could act as whatever role was required of them, their only objective was to bring Knight down before he escaped. Moses, already a muscular viking without the helmet and armor as he was, got himself suited up and made sure that he was ready. His hands were steady, his feet were swift and his aim was true. Once his helmet was fitted and a HUD display was shown, he was ready.
Luna admired the plan that had been built, but was planning already about unexpected setbacks. She snuck through the underbrush, reaching the train station without incident. She had checked every side, and seeing that pretty much every guard was by the train, she climbed up a tree at the side of the station, crawled on it's branches and dropped down onto the roof. She sat down in the shadow of the small bell-tower on the roof. She would be practically invisible as long as she remained in the shade, and waited for whatever was going to be used as a signal to attack.
Moses headed down slowly towards the city, using his surprising agility to navigate the town without problems. He made his way towards the large gathering of followers, trying to get as close as possible without being detected nor putting himself at harms way. Eventually, he made his way to the roof of the Monte Vista hotel. The others had to quickly make sure they were ready, because they knew a gunfight would have been inevitable. Knight and around thirty of his followers were soon heading towards the train, it seems that they were leaving early. Meanwhile, Moses swore he seen the same old man from before out of the corner of his eye. Dressed in a brown duster and cowboy hat, with white wavy hair going down his head alongside a long beard. The next time that he blinked, the man vanished once again. Moses grumbled before he shot a flare into the sky, signalling the time to strike. Once Knight and his followers realized what was going on, Moses used his rifle and shot the man that Knight was standing next to in his right lung and liver, causing him to die fairly quickly. Knight looked in surprise as his followers frantically tried to defend themselves while Knight and around thirty followers go onto the train. It wouldn't move yet, but time was still running out.
Adrian had set his traps. The giant looked out from the old scope, and saw the flare in the sky. He took in and processed the information quickly. If any man dared to venture apart from the crowd, they would be met with either the cold steel of a bear trap, rusted metal producing immense pain, or the fresh round of fire from his rifle. He saw two men set aside from the others, taking a smoke break out of view from their brethren. He waited for a moment, and then... the shot was quiet, since the rifle was equipped with a silencer/suppressor that the large man had made. Two bodies, one shot. Out of sight, too. He looked for anyone who was looking out for any attacks, and would take care of those unfortunate enough to be out of sight of the rest of the crowd...
Luna dropped off the roof of the station, landing on top of one of the guards standing at the entrance of the train. Before the others could react, she hurled her massive metal weapon at one. It collided with his head, making a sickening crunching sound as his skull shattered from the impact. At the same time, the skateboard dropped from the straps holding it to her back, and she kicked it knocking another guard off his feet. She quickly pulled the rope of her main weapon, and it recoiled back into her hands. The other 3 guards that were off the train had taken aim at her now, and the door to the train had been closed. "C'mon guys." She stomped into the back of the neck of the guard she was standing on, breaking it. "I took out 3 of you. You think I can't take out 3 more? I mean, look at him. I literally smashed his face in." 2 of the three glanced at the guard who was hit by her weapon. She smiled as her hand, which had been sitting on the empty gun at her hip, launched up, throwing the gun at the one who hadn't looked away. It hit his gun out of his hands and his yelp of pain brought the other 2s attention. Enough time for her to throw her weapon at one, and lasso the rope around the others. The commotion would have attracted a big number of Knight's minions. And it did. But most of them couldn't make it to the station, getting caught in traps, being cowardly, or occupied some other way. Luna hit each of the three guards in the head with her board, knocking them unconscious, before untying them and collecting up the rest of her things. She approached the door to the train, and tried to open it, unsuccessfully. She didn't account for the guard she knocked over with her board to get back up and tackle her to the ground, keeping her restrained as he called out for help.
The guard that restrained Luna had pinned her to the ground and was just about to deliver a killing blow onto her, raising what appeared to be a knife into the air. Unfortunately, a sharp pain suddenly went through the Guard as he cried out in pain, where a bullet went straight through the bottom of his neck next to his shoulder and killed him the moment he touched the ground. Moses was coming down, using an old wire as a zipline as he zoomed downwards and shot at the guards, taking down about eight of them before he had to reload and to come to Luna's side. All of them had to get to the train before it took off. It was going to be close, especially the chaos that erupted between the guards who fought back and the Bounty Hunters. Just as the Hunters were advancing, the Maglev train at the station blew one whistle to sound it's inevitable departure in about a minute or so. Moses shot a single round at a barrel of oil which was used to power some equipment, causing a fiery explosion in Knight's ranks and engulfing plenty of them in flames.
Death was a proud master. The massive man was out on the ground now, rifle to his side. He knew where all the traps were, and as several men came towards him, sharp metal clashed and cries of suffering groaned out from mouths filled with blood. A few more, and now twisted heads fell upon the cold ground. The reflections of the lens upon the man's mask made him seem inhuman. The eyes are the windows to the soul. Isn't that what people say? But no eyes could be seen whatsoever. Only empty darkness, and abyss that made everything black. Bodies fell around him, dying through the means of such brutal methods. Some men were now even hanging from rope, pieces of metal sticking out of their mouths, eyes bleeding, even several small explosions causing shrapnel to fly through the air, sticking into flesh...
Luna stood up and dusted herself off. "Thanks." She quickly turned towards the train door, and after a moment of thought, she hurled her weapon towards the door. The heavy metal struck the door with a loud "clang" and rebounded back straight at her. She jumped out of the way at the last second, skidding on her side along the ground. "Ok. So, I'm open for suggestions on getting in." She stood up again, this time not bothering with the dirt settling on her top.
Moses ran ahead of Luna at full speed before raising his right arm at the train, his hand managing to shoot a grappling gun at the door that pulled him into the air. While in the air, an unsuspecting guard opened the door and was taken down to the ground as the Ranger planted his feet into him to stop himself once he made contact, knocking him unconscious. He then looked at Luna and signalled her to hurry before he took his rifle and made his way inside, quickly getting into a gunfight with other cult members
Luna ducked into the train, grabbing the gun from the guard Moses had knocked out. A shotgun. "I've never actually used anthing bigger than a pistol" she thought. She put the gun to her shoulder, trying to replicate how she saw others holding bigger guns. She moved to see past the wall and only took a second to try aiming before pulling the trigger. One of the guards went down in a spray of gore, and Luna turned back behind the wall clutching her shoulder. Nothing seemed broken, she hoped, but it was crying out in pain.
Moses aimed his rifle down onto a wooden box as makeshift cover, and delivered death to the Cult members that tried to attack with knives and guns. Just as he went to move upwards, a loud noise came from the train. It was leaving. People were going to get left behind if they didn't catch up in time, missing out on the chance of a lifetime. (Things will get intense now...)
Adrian acted in the nick of time. He was a strong man for his size, and he was of great size indeed. He ripped the metal door off of the train with his bare hands, though his did have to use his knife to take hold of the vehicle as it started to move. He ducked inside and looked around. Here was a moment where, once again, the others did not concern him. It was dark, but he could see. Emptiness, at least, in the one car. He looked around for anything that might prove useful to his endeavor, his keen senses being put to good use. He counted from earlier, as he took out an old note-pad, covered in muck, grime, dust, and blood. What was it? 17, right? That added up to... 396. Close to 400, now. How time just passes by, doesn't it. The empty eyes of the mask reflected faint light as he went to open up the door that led to the next car...
Moses began to move quickly, just acting quickly enough before the Maglev soon began to leave the station and everybody else behind who didn't make it in time. It slowly accelerated, but once it got up to speed within a few minutes, Flagstaff vanished completely. The landscape was replaced with the Arizonan desert, and a speeding train travelling at around 400km/h, getting faster and faster. In the room, the last goon was dealt with before Moses kicked open the door to the next room, what appeared to be sleeping quarters as Moses shot a round from his rifle that slammed into the forehead of a cult member as she dropped to the ground while barricading the door to buy him some time to prepare. Moses noticed something weird, especially the boots that one of them was wearing. It appeared like a normal boot except that it was made of metal and had a small neon light underneath "Gravity boots? Why are they wearing those?" He thought before he had an idea. He took the advanced piece of footware and threw them nearby Luna. He quickly put them on his feet and immediately felt like he was at an advantage. The shoes allowed him to stand and move on virtually any surface. From running on the ceiling or the walls, he had one thing in mind.
