Zenless - Never a Dull Moment when you're in the Hollows

Only A Demo

"So, how exactly are we going to carry enough stuff to block Vision's train?" Nekomata asked Eous.

"Well, you're looking at the muscle of this operation." Belle said with pride, Fairy appearing to give Eous jazz hands.

"Um, I'm all for words of encouragement, but we'd need a crane to lift these boxcars..." Nekomata clearly wasn't as impressed as they assumed.

"I think it's best we just show her." Wise mumbled.

Eous walked over to a boxcar before activating a thin prismatic aura. Using a stable amount of Ether, his strength was enhanced enough for him to repeatedly shove the boxcar over to the railroad they stood above.

With a loud crash and crunch, he punched the boxcar into the railway. With the path blocked, the automated navigation system would take a detour and delay the train.

Nekomata stared in disbelief at someone his size being able to display such strength with no strain.

"You're some guy... no wonder you guys were legendary!" Nekomata awed.

"Were?! I've still gotta good rep!" Eous whined.

She smirked. "Well, it's better than the Cunning Hares, that's for sure."

"That's a low bar and you know it." He smirked back before the two bumped fists with a chuckle.

After blocking two more direct rails to the demolition sight, this gave the two ample time and opportunity to board it and sabotage Vision's plot.

With all the noise they were making, it was a given that Ethereals would be attracted.

As Eous scrapped the boxcar off into the railway, Nekomata covered him and slashed through the last of the fodder pestering them.

"Route of Vision Demolition Train has been calculated with the given obstacles in the equation. Projecting destination for proper boarding with minimal resistance." Fairy was sitting on Eous' shoulder, catching the attention of Nekomata.

"What is this thing? Is it like your secretary?" she wondered.

Eous was about to agree with a snide remark, but Fairy beat him to the punch.

"I am a type III general AI equipped with sequential integration. I am bonded to his body after assimilation through immense Ether levels. I am his partner, Fairy."

Nekomata wasn't as impressed as Fairy was prideful. "You lot get weirder and weirder..."

"First my joke is ruined and now I'm insulted. What a read..." Eous wanted to pluck them both, but decided upon strutting away to the given destination.

"Come on, we've got no time to lose. The train's on its way!"

As if he could feel it, the chug and hustle of the train could slowly be heard around the station.

Unfortunately, a massive array of boxcars had been tossed around in a wild manner directly in the necessary path.

"Woah. Those marks look lethal. That's gotta be the work of the Dead End Butcher..." Belle noted.

"This wreck is huge! You can't move this, can you? Is this the only way?" Nekomata grew noticeably more nervous with the train finally being on its way.

"Well, not without consequence. But, hey, it's worth a shot." Before Eous could even touch a single boxcar, Fairy yanked him back with surprising ease.

"Don't even think about it." Wise shook his head.

"U-Um, excuse me...?" A timid voice called from the other side.

Nekomata immediately went on guard, but Eous only cocked his head back with a question mark on his mask.
