Outside of Blackshire Village, Jynx and others wait for Eve's steam engine to arrive at the newly constructed Blackshire Station. Countess Ophelia makes a cameo appearance. The train arrives, and Jynx is reunited with his little sister, who's not quite so little anymore. There are actually two trains – one obviously of Titanian construction, designed to deal with any monsters on the tracks, and the next one – more to Eve's design requirements – designed to look pretty.

Jynx goes out to cut the ribbon, but it won't cut on the first try. Gnarr, the conductor on the "Trailblazer" train, thinks that the ribbon has been cut, and starts the engine before Jynx can get out of the way! Steam shoots out, and there's the sound of Jynx getting hit, but when the steam clears, and the trains leave (Eve, quite oblivious, waving goodbye to everyone), the gathered crowd can't find anything left of the black Khatta!

Jynx comes to in a bowl of stew in the back of the Trailblazer engine, and extracts himself, finding a Gallah mutt and a Titanian "cook" in the back of the machine. He verifies his whereabouts, but before he can do much about it, there's a horn warning of a "monster alert". The train hits another monster, and it lands in the pot … a little yellow rodentish creature that seems harmless enough, though the Titanian and the mutt are terrified. At their bequest, Jynx ladles out the creature and flings it out of the train. It lands in the woods, and there is a flash of light when it lands. Jynx shrugs this off, and the train comes to a stop at Kurai Town … where several anxious villagers have rushed there to meet the train on its second stop, afraid that Jynx is dead. He arrives, wet but unscathed, to the surprise of everyone, and maintains a pretty good attitude about the whole affair!
