"Sir! Sir! You are going to want to come see this!" Leon awoke with a start, near him Chris and Claire who had been sleeping in the same tent awoke also.

"What is it?" He said groggily.

"The creature has stopped and is simply standing there, all the bugs are down along the tracks hovering."

Leon was awake in a flash. Grabbing his guns he ran outside the tent, only stopping to relieve himself outside the tent. It was a dark out still and there was a jeep running waiting for him. They'd been following the Ustanak creature for a few days as it plodded along the tracks. Knowing that engaging the creature directly would kill most of the agent here Chris had ordered them to follow it and report any changes before crashing for the night himself.

But now it had just stopped. They loaded into the jeep quickly and rode along, it took an hour to reach the location of the Ustanak. It really was just standing there waiting, its bug-like seekers spread out down the tracks.

Leon stopped. "What is it waiting for?" He asked.

Chris and Claire coming up behind him didn't respond.

"You hear that?" said Claire suddenly. There was a slight vibration coming from the tracks.

"A train." Said Chris.

"You don't suppose..." started Claire.

"They're on it?" Finished Leon. He glanced at the waiting creature, the rumbling increased and soon the headlights of the Engine were visible in the distance.

"Why would they come back?" Asked Claire.

"Maybe they figured out something?" Said Chris hopefully.

They hadn't found much on Senator Derges, although Leon hadn't thought they would. All records were closed to the BSAA. The Senator was still in the hospital, although rumors were flying like mad. Hunnigan was keeping an eye there, while they followed the Ustanak down the tracks.

Suddenly as the train approached the lights from the bugs began to change to red as they encountered it down the tracks. It was a bizarre light show.

The Ustanak itself began to move, it became more agitated as the train approached and it started uttering a sound. "Shaaawwwy. Shawy, Shhhhaaawwwwy."

Suddenly Chris gasped. "Oh my god, it's Devon!"

"What is?" said Claire.

"The Ustanak, look at the hair..." The close cropped hair and features were unmistakable now although a bit stretched on its titanic head.

Leon glanced at it, "They did a better job with him than the last one I encountered."

Chris shot him a look.

Leon shrugged. "You had to have seen it."

With the train barreling down the tracks the Ustanak suddenly took off at a run.

"Shit," snapped Leon taking off after...then stopping. "Back off," he cried suddenly, "Air units! Fire on it!" He was yelling into the head set. Bullets rained down on the Ustanak but they barely slowed it down.

The creature charged into the engine of the train suddenly. Time slowed for Leon as the trained rocked off of the tracks, causing the rest of the train to come forward with it. Train cars slowed as the cars slowed and were pull off the track by the ones in front. The screeching of metal on metal was agonizing. Leon made a mental to thank somebody up there that it only a cargo train and not a passenger train filled with people.

It took a full ten minutes for the sound of screeching metal to come to a halt.

Twisted metal was everywhere and amidst the debris the Ustanak could be heard turning over cars and roaring out, "Shaaawwy, shawy, Jeeeeeeek Moooola, Shaaaawwwy..." The Ustanak had a gash on it's left side but simply kept moving.

"If it is him, he knows exactly who he's after. And so do we," Leon said following closely. Any trace of his exhaustion was gone.

"I hope they weren't on that train," said Chris running down the length of the cars. He listened into his ear piece. "All units look for survivors, avoid the creature till we find a way to take it down or out of commission. Air One, keep an eye on its progress let me know if it finds anyone, or anything."
