{"If you can hit Mach 3 in 60 seconds sir, then yes you can."}
WHOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHH!!!
Shadow immediately ran, but first carried Wraith, dropped him off at the police station before dashing off towards the railway.
"Stacy I need the shortest route to the train."
{"Calculating…"}
Shadow ran through the city at the speed of sound with all his might, force, and energy.
{"Route created. Deployed."}
Shadow ran as through his mask's lens the path was laid out for him so he followed.
{"The train is currently moving at its top speed, and in simple words running at Mach 3, so sir you have to pick up the pace."}
"I'm trying Stacy I really am!"
Shadow ran, and ran, and ran. He dashed through the city leaving dust and releasing ripples of wind.
He maneuvered through the road, dodging and dashing past cars, wriggling through streets and allies, over fences and walls. All following the route Stacy made for him.
{"45 seconds."}
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!"
Jason gave out as he tried his best, putting all his energy into this.
{"Approaching Mach 2."}
BOOOMMM!!!!
Jason missed his step and burst through a wall, falling on the ground, rolling before getting up on his feet.
{"39 seconds."}
"Come on!"
BURST!! WHOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHH!!!!
Zooming off with great speed after compressing the ground and pushing back everything behind him.
{"Approaching the railway."}
Jason continued running as he then finally spotted the railway.
{"30 seconds."}
Jason dashed into the railway continuing his race to catch up to the train, which was no where to be found.
"Stacy where's the train?!"
{"Miles ahead of you sir"}
"How long is this goddamn track?!"
{"The railway is approximately—"}
"That was a rhetorical question Stacy, keep up."
{"My apologies sir. But you too have to speed up, you have less 25 seconds."}
"Nice one."
Jason chuckled then pushed onward.
Dashing through the railway, he then got underground into the subway.
{"Sir you can do this, your speed based on calculations is in between Mach 2 and 3."}
"I can do this yes! Lives are freaking on the line!"
Jason screamed out as he ran, he was running out of breath, legs getting fatigued and heavy.
{"20 Seconds"}
"I can see the train!"
Jason gave out as he could spot the back end of the train from a distance.
{"Just get in sir, and we are good to go."}
"Eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!"
Jason tearing right through the air moved and heading for the train, closing in the distance bit by bit.
{"Approaching Mach 3."}
The train moving tremendously fast heading for the sea was ahead, Shadow trailing behind as he ran with all his might breaking his limit every second that counted.
{"17 Seconds."}
"Come on!"
Shadow gave out as he was relatively close to the train and then he was reaching out with his left hand aiming to grab unto the train.
{"Approaching Mach 3."}
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Shadow gave out as he hand was getting close, but as he was about to grab unto the train this happened.
"Noooo!!!"
Shadow gave out as the train suddenly took a sharp bend which Shadow wasn't expecting, so he tripped kicking his leg and then crashing unto the wall of the tunnel while the train zoomed out unto the surface.
{"15,..."}
Shadow rolled on the ground and got on his left knee taking down his mask, before spitting out blood.
{"14,..."}
"Come on Jason, you can do this. Feel the speed, feel the power and let flow through you."
{"13,..."}
Jason then closed his eyes as he took a deep breath, hands on the railway.
{"12,..."}
["Run Jason, run."]
Immediately, with great force, speed, energy, power, and might—
WHOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHH!!!!!
Jason ran like never before, moving at a very fast and tremendous speed—
BURST!!!!!!
There was a massive burst and explosion of a dark aura that flowed out Jason as he moved. The dark aura engulfed and enveloped him as he moved like shadow itself through the railway.
{"Mach 4."}
Jason caught up to the train in no time.
He then ran on the body of the train which was long and headed for the control room which was the head, the first cabin.
Jason immediately, smashed his way into the control room, brought out a the chip from his utility belt and then slotted it into to the main panel.
{"System override."}
CRANK! BANG!
The train's brake systems immediately kicked off and the electromagnetic force keeping it above the rail and the source of its fast acceleration then went off and the train hit the ground.
So friction together with the train's brake began to slow it down, but it wasn't enough.
{"Sir, at this retardation, this train will still run into the sea."}
"I have an idea."
Jason then climbed out of the control room to the front of the train.
{"Sir based on my calculations are you about to—"}
"Yes Stacy I am!"
Jason gave out as he planted his feet on the ground, wedged the train with his hands and back and was trying to slow it down.
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
Jason gave out as his legs were ripping the ground as the train moved with him in the front trying to slow it down.
{"It's working, but it needs more effort."}
Jason then shot his grappling hooks to the left and right side hoping for them to grab unto something.
"Come on, come on."
CLANG!
"Yes!"
Jason held the wires with a tight grip as he was suspending the train.
"Arrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!"
He could feel his hands getting torn apart, but then he held on tight, mustered up his power, locking into the strength and holding tight.
Compressing the face of the train, digging into the ground, Jason did his best. His grappling hooks breaking, but all to ensure the safety of the innocent lives on the train.
"Stacy I-I-I-I can't hold on much longer."
{"Sir, you have to try."}
"I-I-I-I am sorry."
Jason said muffled as he was losing consciousness.
{"Incoming transmission."}
["You've done well. I'll take over from here."]
Immediately a man, maybe? Or not entirely—
Cladded in a silver metal armoured suit flew across by the side of the moving train. Palms glowing and releasing energy, thrusters beneath the feet.
He then carried Shadow and put him into the train, before flying to the front of the train.
"Alright let's do this."
The calm human voice echoed from inside.
KANG!
Grabbing onto the face of the train, the man in the metal suit pushed. Thrusters opened up on his back, down the elbows, and sides of the legs.
Together with the thrusters beneath his feet, they all fired up, releasing a mad load of force and energy, and slowly he began to stop the train with more retardation this time.
In no time, the train came to a stop.
The police came in with cars and choppers to rescue the civilians in the train, so did the press.
Shadow got himself a bit and came and stepped out of the train having put on his mask back as journalists to came to him and the man in a metal suit.
"What can you say about the incident today?"
A journalist holding a microphone to Shadow's mouth.
"I was able to defeat the criminal Wraith today and took him into police custody. But he blew up the railway running across the sea ahead so the express train would crash into the sea killing the people on it."
"And you Shadow saved them?"
"Yes, but together with his help."
"And he his?"
"You are?"
Shadow asked as they all looked at the man in the suit.
"I am Sentinel."
Immediately, his palms began to glow, thrusters ignite—
BURST! WHOOSH!
Taking to the skies with great speed leaving Shadow and the press behind.
